stoic island
#

Yea aoc c24g2 is good

small osprey
#

Mr1111 is the arctic freezer ii 280 better than nh-d15?

ebon matrix
#

pretty sure u can tilt and elevate the AOC

glass depot
#

yea I heard good things about the aoc

small osprey
#

@stoic island

glass depot
#

ok fanks

stoic island
#

For pure performance

#

yes

glass depot
#

Is it VA

stoic island
#

@glass depot y u so picky about 165hz+

#

it's va

weak field
#

144hz you should go with

raw mist
glass depot
#

I’m a noob ppl told me to get it 😔

stoic island
#

C32g2 is VA, it says it in the name

#

lmao

#

the people who told you were noobs

weak field
#

165 only when “overclocked” on display port

#

hdmi port only gets 144hz

stoic island
#

IPS

#

G241

weak field
#

on a 165hz monitor

glass depot
#

thanx

#

my keyboard and key caps got stolen 😍

raw mist
#

@glass depot the AOC CQ27G2 is a good option too btw..144hz at 1440p but its VA so kinda sucks but its fine

glass depot
#

is VA bad or sum

#

What r the other types

raw mist
#

Ips is better

weak field
#

best

#

oranges

raw mist
#

But VA is okay too

#

I mean if ur on a budget go VA

glass depot
#

I’m so picky I’ll probably end up buying an expensive one

raw mist
#

If ur not go ips

I am gren

small osprey
#

Mr1111 so should i get the arctic freezer over nh-d15

stoic island
#

what is your budget

#

what is your use

#

do you want water in your case

#

@small osprey also, nh-u12a >:P

small osprey
#

Budget ~100

#

Gaming, streaming, video editing

#

Cpu is 5600x

#

Idc about water as long as it has warranty

weak field
#

better hope all your parts have waranty

stoic island
#

NH-U12a

#

@small osprey not all aio warranties are good enough yaknow

small osprey
#

No chromax.black

stoic island
#

breh

small osprey
#

Lmao i want it to look decent

stoic island
#

aio warranties usually only cover the aio itself and not everything

#

...

#

bai

#

u12a is life

small osprey
#

hmm

#

hmmmm

woven pumice
#

guys is Corsair Hydro Series, H100i RGB Platinum SE better than NZXT Kraken X63 ?

stoic island
#

@woven pumice neither, get an Arctic freezer ii

fading kiln
#

@weak field i saw you were talking about some lower latency ram, sorry im late

#

any good 32 stick ones?

weak field
#

usd right?

fading kiln
#

em i meant 32gb sticks, but yeah on usd would be fine

weak field
#

alright

fading kiln
#

@woven pumice neither, get an Arctic freezer ii
@stoic island wait so the arctic freezer is half the price here, is it really better?

weak field
#

2 32gb sticks right?

fading kiln
#

ye

stoic island
#

It's much better

i ll check the reviews

woven pumice
#

@stoic island Arctic freezer ii 240 or 280? does it make a difference

stoic island
#

Whatever fits

#

240mm looks weird when it fits 280mm

#

Performance wise should be similar

#

240mm was in stock on Amazon for 100$

#

280mm should be ~110$ somewhere

fading kiln
#

the ones i had were 3600

woven pumice
#

thank you! its definitely better

weak field
#

yeah

#

youd have to ask what the pros and cons of lower latency and lower speeds

#

@stoic island could you explain that

fading kiln
weak field
#

im not the best with memory

fading kiln
#

i mean i could get more

#

with a bit more

stoic island
#

Tbh I don't even know now

#

The previous thought was higher freq mattered more with Ryzen

#

And then GN testing happened

ebon matrix
#

dont you need something to connect to the internet from a new build?

stoic island
#

Ethernet

#

Or wifi

foggy hazel
ebon matrix
#

so wifi need to be built in the motherboard if not using the ethernet cable?

foggy hazel
#

i half expect it to be semi-taken out of context, hence why i am asking you @arctic jungle

fading kiln
#

so wifi need to be built in the motherboard if not using the ethernet cable?
@ebon matrix you can always use a usb wifi adaptor

icy lichen
#

I mean i kinda understand that mentality, a lot of people dont upgrade frequently, and if saving more money now, means more moeny later, i can totally see why someone would scrap upgradability for savings (but at that point i would go refurbishing an old office pc route, but i guess that does take a bit more time than just getting cheap new stuff that works with limited upgradability)

#

Idk if that what they were saying tho

arctic jungle
#

@arctic jungle im curious: could you elaborate on this?
@foggy hazel yea why would you get b550 and a 3rd gen ryzen cpu if you plan on upgrading soon? 1, since AMD is probably not gonna use AM4 for their next cpu, 500 series chipsets don't make sense if you wanna upgrade it... for the psu I was saying there's no way that ur going to need a 1000 watt power supply- my whole advice was waiting a year or 2 for amd to pick their next socket, because they alr had a working PC, and make a bigger budget then

#

if u alr have a decent enough PC, no point upgrading just before they drop the next chipset

foggy hazel
#

IF you want any of the zen3 cpus this year. With official support. You need to buy a b550/x570 board

arctic jungle
#

not zen 3, zen 2

icy lichen
#

Nah you can use b450

#

With bios update

arctic jungle
#

Nah you can use b450
@icy lichen bios isn't out yet

#

jan

stoic island
#

@icy lichen not universal support

#

can't say "you can use b450" when not all of them will be getting the update.

foggy hazel
#

@arctic jungle not countering. Putting forth a reason for "why get a b550/x570 board"

arctic jungle
#

tru

icy lichen
#

Yeah ofcourse but eventually, and at least i dont plan to move to zen 3 soon

#

Oh ill have to check the b450 list

stoic island
#

there is no list

icy lichen
#

If there even is one

#

Damn

stoic island
#

it's optional for manufacturers to update em

#

there's no guarantees

foggy hazel
#

@arctic jungle and keep in mind, am5 wont be here for a good while yet

stoic island
#

hell, they never told us how they're gonna get the bios on 16MB chips :P

#

who knows

arctic jungle
#

yea, but my advice was- if you already have a working PC that semi satisfies you, do you really need to upgrade right now?

#

they didn't

#

so I just advised to wait

foggy hazel
#

aye aye. hence why i asked you. Because of the lack of context @arctic jungle

stoic island
#

(more uncertainty on B450 getting that optional bios)

foggy hazel
#

thank you for the clarification

arctic jungle
#

ofc

stoic island
#

fair tho

arctic jungle
#

Oh what are ur thoughts on thermoelectric cooling

stoic island
#

some people are the 1 upgrade a year train, some the 1 upgrade per 5 years.

arctic jungle
#

I saw something on amazon, it was some off brand thing

#

i'll send a link

foggy hazel
#

it was fun in the 90's

#

that is my take

ebon matrix
#

when you use a wifi adapter u cant take it out?

arctic jungle
#

like I mean TEC coolers

#

linus did a thing on it

foggy hazel
#

yes

#

i know what you meant @arctic jungle :)

stoic island
#

wdym can't take it out

foggy hazel
#

its a solution that imo is not very relevant for the regular consumer

#

generally: if you need a TEC, you will know it.

deep skiff
#

if you look at the coolermaster page for their tec 360 cooler linus used for heavy workloads its not much better than a normal 360 aio

foggy hazel
#

its also in the small range of TEC

deep skiff
fading kiln
#

changed over to the arctic

#

should be good to go

#

might get everything but the cpu tonight

stoic island
#

case and ssd seem expensive

#

but your choice

#

good

fading kiln
#

case i really like actually, ssd I could change if there's something with a better value

stoic island
#

MP34 maybe

fading kiln
#

like it's in my budget, so the more performance i can get the better

stoic island
#

mhm

#

it's expensive

fading kiln
#

is the mp34 comparable in speed?

little osprey
#

is a 240mm radiator sufficient for the 5900x?

stoic island
#

it's less

#

lol

little osprey
#

@fading kiln you will not see the difference unless you are copying files everyday

stoic island
elfin jackal
#

@elfin jackal i made you a list ystrdy
@arctic jungle ik, but the mobo don't have wireless WiFi networks, so I changed it back to MAG x570 tomahawk WiFi. It's only 10 USD different compared to msrp in Canada

arctic jungle
#

bruh

#

get asus tuf wifi version then

#

it isn't overpriced

elfin jackal
#

Ok

little osprey
#

yeah but tech deals said in his videos that for high end cpu like the 5900x you need min a 280mm radiator @stoic island

fading kiln
#

@fading kiln you will not see the difference unless you are copying files everyday
@little osprey hm im doing a lot of coding / video editing so i'm guessing it will be noticeable

#

not much of course

stoic island
#

whaaa

#

@little osprey what

little osprey
#

@little osprey ah okay

stoic island
#

tech deals said in his videos

#

wat

fading kiln
#

i wouldnt be able to fit a 280 rad in that case :/

stoic island
#

lol

#

but 240mm and 280mm perf are compariable

arctic jungle
#

ye

#

280 is queiter tho

#

bc u can run less loud fanss

little osprey
#

240mm has 37% less cooling area than 280mm

stoic island
#

wat

#

where'd that figure come from

fading kiln
foggy hazel
#

@little osprey perhaps techdeals should go back to his benchmark numbers then.

fading kiln
#

aight so im set with my stuff, anything else I should buy with the parts? like cpu paste, tools?

#

also will i have to get some cables for the modular psu or do they come with the case/mb

foggy hazel
#

the psu comes with cables

fading kiln
#

okok thanks

weak field
#

dont really need cpu paste unless the kind u want isnt rated for the amount of ocing you want to do , its pretty decent. the stock paste that id

#

is

fading kiln
#

okay cool

#

I mean i can always get better paste if i decide to oc more

foggy hazel
#

in theory, the only things you need are a screwdriver and a dishtowel/paper towels

fading kiln
#

but i doubt i'll do anything too aggressive

#

in theory, the only things you need are a screwdriver and a dishtowel/paper towels
@foggy hazel which i got then peepoGlad

weak field
#

dont you need snippers and stuff

fading kiln
#

also got zipties for any cable management

foggy hazel
#

you dont "need" those @weak field :)

fading kiln
#

even tho the case has a huge second compartment so i'll probably just forget to manage the cables

weak field
#

so just a screwdriver and paper towels

foggy hazel
#

aye

fading kiln
#

awesome

weak field
#

post a picture of it in a couple weeks when you build it

fading kiln
#

"couple of weeks"

#

im building it on xmass day

weak field
#

still a couple of weeks

#

just a few more couple

fading kiln
#

too many weeks

weak field
#

yeah.

foggy hazel
#

dont know what vidoes/articles you have read/watched: but do yourself the favour and boot it once outside of the case

fading kiln
#

great reminder actually

foggy hazel
#

it will make your life SO much simpler

fading kiln
#

i ll make sure to read the manuals too YEP

#

I'll gift my current build to my sis who is picking up video editing, so we might build it together at xmass

weak field
#

what do you do after you build your pc?

fading kiln
#

EM

#

INSTAL WINDOWS

#

DRIVERS

#

EEEEE

#

CHECK CPU STATS

#

EEEE

foggy hazel
#

do you have your lan drivers on a usb stick?

fading kiln
#

good question

#

i dont..\

weak field
#

honestly man building a pc seems so much more complicated now

#

drivers and stuff

woven pumice
weak field
#

maybe after all prebuilts arent so terrible

#

😳

fading kiln
#

NO

foggy hazel
#

@weak field hey, you have access to internet, so all you need to worry about is internet access for the hardware

fading kiln
#

@weak field hey, you have access to internet, so all you need to worry about is internet access for the hardware
@foggy hazel hm yeah

foggy hazel
#

@fading kiln when you make the usb stick for windows

weak field
#

didnt jaystwocentz make a video about what to do

vernal shuttle

I'm trying to upgrade my pc's ram and want to make sure i get something compatible with my PC I got from newegg a year or so back.

My PC:
ABS Mage M - Ryzen 7 3700X - GeForce RTX 2060 Super - 16GB DDR4 3000MHz - 1TB SSD - Gaming Desktop PC

looking to increase to a minimum of 32Gb RAM

thanks!

weak field
#

whats the mobo

solar sigil
#

@woven pumice If youre spending that kind of cash I would seriously consider AMD over intel
Also 80 pounds for a wifi card seems a bit much imo

weak field
#

could prolly check theire website for compatibility of the speeds

foggy hazel
#

@woven pumice all those parts are being bought new?

fading kiln
#

@woven pumice and the memory is very slow

weak field
#

the ram paired with the gpu

woven pumice
#

@solar sigil i already bought the wifi but didnt buy the gbu yet, i'll check out AMD

#

@foggy hazel yes

#

@fading kiln i know :( i bought it a while back

fading kiln
#

ohhh didn't know you had it already

#

what are the parts that you're buying

foggy hazel
#

@woven pumice could you please mark the parts you have purchased, as purchased (its the gear icon on each item)

woven pumice
#

gbu, processor

#

@foggy hazel oh thanks! i'll do that now

foggy hazel
#

you are welcome, that makes the conversation a bit easier to have :)

solar sigil
green kestrel
#

why an 8700k?

weak field
#

a 2080ti?

#

why

green kestrel
#

if you haven't bought the processor yet switch it out with a 10600k

foggy hazel
#

@solar sigil if you wait until we know what they have actually purchased, then everything is just a bit more practical :)

solar sigil
#

this is true

foggy hazel
#

also, less confusing for them :)

solar sigil
#

@weak field probably easier to find than 3000 series atm

green kestrel
#

newegg has a lot of 2080ti fes

#

for like

#

1800+

solar sigil
#

💸

weak field
#

way more expensive

#

and less performing

green kestrel
#

lmao yeah

#

not really worth it at that point

woven pumice
#

done

green kestrel
#

oo

foggy hazel
#

thank you @woven pumice

woven pumice
#

i thought i7 is better than i5

green kestrel
#

its 2 generations old

#

the 10600k is cheaper

#

offers the same performance

solar sigil
#

thanks for the update Melly!

woven pumice
#

you're right

foggy hazel
#

@green kestrel chipset support

green kestrel
#

oop

#

eh you still have a really good build nontheless

foggy hazel
#

from the mainboard support page

green kestrel
#

yeah i saw

#

10600k is on z490

#

also question, would the 3090 bottleneck the 8700k

solar sigil
#

how expensive are 9900ks these days

green kestrel
#

300-400

#

best buy has a 9700k for 299

foggy hazel
#

@woven pumice unless you have a very very special scenario in mind, the 3090 is a waste

weak field
#

yeah

woven pumice
#

i just need it for gaming really

weak field
#

no

#

not really

ebon matrix
foggy hazel
#

3080 at the max then @woven pumice

weak field
#

unless you need the 600fps on ultra

green kestrel

J_C___#8947 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

solar sigil
#

oops

weak field
#

none needs a 3090 for gaming

foggy hazel
#

@weak field wrong.

weak field
#

no

#

everyone wants a 3090 for gaming

foggy hazel
#

yes. you are objectively wrong in that statement

weak field
#

how

solar sigil
#

a 9900k would be loads better than the 8700k right?

foggy hazel
#

the 9900k would be an upgrade yes

ebon matrix
#

yea

solar sigil
#

@woven pumice ^^^

green kestrel
#

if you are going to get the 9900k buy it from microcenter if you have one near you

foggy hazel
#

@weak field a user could be doing something on the side that requires the grunt that the 3090 has. So please dont make sweeping statements like that

woven pumice
#

9900k is not compatible with the build

weak field
#

for gaming?

foggy hazel
#

@woven pumice since when?

#

because the mainboard supports it @woven pumice

woven pumice
#

it says here

solar sigil
#

So back to why someone would need a 3090... unless youre running flight sim what is the benefit to justify the cost

woven pumice
#

when i added the i9

solar sigil
#

what do the details say below @woven pumice

foggy hazel
#

yes, bios support

solar sigil
#

it may just be a bios flag

#

yea

woven pumice
foggy hazel
#

you need to update the bios.

green kestrel
#

eah

solar sigil
#

non-issue if they updated it in the factory

#

do they do that tho?

woven pumice
#

i dont know what that means

solar sigil
#

i know they did for b450

foggy hazel
#

@solar sigil old board. unlikely

solar sigil
#

rip

foggy hazel
#

and yes, anything that ships out of the factory runs on the newest bios <- that is the general rule @solar sigil

solar sigil
#

oh

#

so a non-issue then

foggy hazel
#

but, shipping out of factory is not the same as arriving at customers

solar sigil
#

henh?

foggy hazel
#

think about it :)

solar sigil
#

ohhhh

#

i see

foggy hazel
#

it goes in a warehouse

solar sigil
#

yep yepp

foggy hazel
#

then the vendors get it

woven pumice
#

do i update it by myself?

foggy hazel
#

for storing in THEIR warehouse etc etc etc

solar sigil
#

depends where you buy it @woven pumice

#

if its fresh stock then you won't need to

foggy hazel
#

they have already bought

still roostBOT
#
J_C___#8947 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

solar sigil
#

youre right

#

al;so sorry bad habbit

foggy hazel
#

hence the second list :)

solar sigil
#

would they have a sticker on the box like they did with AMD?

woven pumice
#

this is the same right?

foggy hazel
#

@woven pumice do you have a local it shop near you?

woven pumice
#

yeah

foggy hazel
#

they should be able to pop in a compatible cpu and update the bios for you

solar sigil
#

I wouldnt brick a system to try it yourself first right? it just wont post until the update?

foggy hazel
#

and yes, that CPU is close enough (difference is lack of integrated graphics)

#

i was talking about the bios update process in a vacuum @solar sigil :)

#

yes, the process would be:

Try and build the machine, see if it works. (the 9th gen cpu that is)

If not, go to local store

solar sigil
#

Ok yeah thats what I was thinking

#

never had to do an update myself

#

so just making sure

#

:)

foggy hazel
#

depending on the board, you can do it without the cpu etc etc etc

woven pumice
#

i'll take it to a local store

foggy hazel
#

it should be very very cheap for them to update the bios for you @woven pumice

solar sigil
#

Having someone physically look at it is always better than us speculating 🙂

uncut pelican
#

Hello 🙂

green kestrel
#

hello

solar sigil
#

o/

woven pumice
#

i should tell them to upgrade the bios there right? after i complete my build

foggy hazel
#

so if they start talking bs. please go somewhere else

solar sigil
#

I would ask them if its necessary first @woven pumice dont have them do something that doesnt need to be done

foggy hazel
#

@solar sigil you are misunderstanding what i said earlier then

solar sigil
#

oof sorry what did i miss

foggy hazel
#

@woven pumice the simplest for you would be doing a test boot of your mainboard+cpu+cooler+ram+gpu OUTSIDE of the case

earnest olive
#

i checked and that motherboard does not have a bios flash button

#

just fyi

foggy hazel
#

i know

earnest olive
#

so gonna need an 8th gen if it doesn't work immediately

#

do they already have the board?

solar sigil
#

yep

foggy hazel
#

@earnest olive read back please.

earnest olive
#

fair enough i just woke up

foggy hazel
#

@woven pumice because that means IF everything works. you can just assemble the case with everything.

However IF it does NOT work. you can take the mainboard with the cpu+ram to the local store. No need to bring the rest of the system.

#

does that make sense @woven pumice?

woven pumice
#

yeah it does

earnest olive
#

yeah naed's got it covered

woven pumice
#

thank you so much, you helped alot @foggy hazel

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome @woven pumice

Guys whats the difference between Asus ROG and Asus TUF

solar sigil
#

ones built FOR GAMERS

uncut pelican
#

I believe ROG is a bit more if ya know what I mean

foggy hazel
#

one is spelt ROG the other TUF <- that is all @raw mist

uncut pelican
#

lmao

raw mist
#

lmao

solar sigil
#

heh

uncut pelican
#

sounds about right tbh

foggy hazel
#

it all comes back to the specific models in each line

#

as always model over brand/line

raw mist
#

yeah i think TUF is more oriented to budget whereas ROG is more high end

foggy hazel
#

nah

little osprey
#

No Tuf is tough

foggy hazel
#

its just marketing bs

little osprey
#

Try running it over

#

lmao

raw mist
#

lmao

solar sigil
#

Effectively it's all fancy branding that matters little. Instead look at what specific features each board offers and decide based on which satisfies your needs the best.

jaunty elk
#

The biggest difference in tuf vs rog is power delivery and pci-e lanes. tuf is going to be your best bang for your dollar

foggy hazel
#

except pci-e lanes is decided by the chipset, not the marketing

jaunty elk
#

yes and no. Pci-e lanes are decided how many there are based on chipset. how and where they are used is the biggest difference on the rog vs tuf boards beyond powerdelivery. but i suppose you are right, as all board/versions have pci-e lanes used in different ways and areas

exotic saddle
#

Need a pc build with 1k budget

foggy hazel
#

@jaunty elk its a splitting of hairs

jaunty elk
#

right

exotic saddle
#

Details: 1k budget, Black build (RGB isn't important), Wifi
Want AMD and m.2 WD 1TB only for storage

jaunty elk
#

@exotic saddle Cdn or USD?

exotic saddle
#

USD

solar sigil
#

could probably save some if you find a better price for the 2060 and shave a few dollars off with a less GAMER case

exotic saddle

Any more budget freindlt GPU options?

jaunty elk
stoic island
#

2060 should be 300usd

#

pricing all wacked up rn

solar sigil
#

yeah pcpartpicker didnt have many options with actual prices

jaunty elk
#

IF you can find a 3070 you should be able to get one of those in a 1000$ build

ebon matrix
#

SHould i get the MSI B450M BAZOOKA MAX WIFI or MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX

exotic saddle
#

Need this build before novemeber, don't think I can get one in time

ebon matrix
#

i like the bazooka

jaunty elk
#

ooops. sorry. my link bad. no price on cpu

foggy hazel
#

@exotic saddle spoiler alert

#

it IS november

slim escarp
#

How far do you think 240gb will get you I’ll be upgrading it in about a month after the build but

solar sigil
#

far enough to install os and mission critical programs maybe one or two games

#

minus COD MW

exotic saddle
#

before the end of november*

slim escarp
#

Well I’ll probably just play tf2 and csgo until I get money to buy games

exotic saddle
#

oopsie lol

solar sigil
#

120gb is the bar minimum

ebon matrix
solar sigil
#

@exotic saddle thats going to be tough regardless

exotic saddle
#

Any GPU that is in the 300 range?

solar sigil
#

2060s

#

1070 if you can find one

jaunty elk
#

300 for a 1070? I WISH!

solar sigil
#

those are like 200 - 250 used

#

i just got one

exotic saddle
#

how about a rx580?

jaunty elk
#

i cannot sell mine for 200$ Or else I would have. lol

#

anyone around here (Canada) wants a 1070 for 150. and at that, its better used as a gift to a cousin. lol

foggy hazel
#

@jaunty elk please no selling/offering

solar sigil
#

i think hes joking

foggy hazel
#

rules etc etc

jaunty elk
#

IM NOT. How was that a sell?

foggy hazel
#

im not a mod either :)

#

and with that sentence of his, its clear he isnt

jaunty elk
#

ok. complaining about being unable to sell something is NOT a sales pitch. is it?

stoic island
#

We're just keeping it out :)

foggy hazel
#

better safe than sorry and its a very very slippery slope

3600x was chosn as my pcpartpicker no longer showing 3600 non x price

stoic island
#

you can edit price

solar sigil
#

What a chonker

stoic island
#

like MC still has 3600 at 180$ last I checked, but PCPP doesn't show MC stuff

jaunty elk
#

b550 is recommended as its last generation with this socket, we believe, therfore you could slot a 5600x in there in a year or two. and 1660ti should manage for most anything, and always room for upgrade

stoic island
#

might want to do 1660 super

solar sigil
#

like MC still has 3600 at 180$ last I checked, but PCPP doesn't show MC stuff
that honestly pisses me off more than Id like to admit

stoic island
#

~240$ last I checked

#

3600c16 ram if possible

#

good perf

foggy hazel
#

@solar sigil take that up with Microcenter. they are the ones that have (most likely) asked to not have it listed

jaunty elk
stoic island
#

That pisses me off in the way that I don't live near a MC

jaunty elk
#

Downgrade 5600x and you COULD upgrade video card, especially if you can get something used

solar sigil
#

dang really? I would think they would want to be listed on one of the most popular pc building tools

stoic island
foggy hazel
#

there are pro/cons to being listed @solar sigil

stoic island
#

@solar sigil most of the time they do in-store pickup and the rest of the PCPP retailers are online.

#

that's one thing

solar sigil
#

thats fair enough just sad they arent included cause im lazy etc etc

ebon matrix
#

do the B450 pro max have wifi built in?

stoic island
#

B550m pro vdh wifi has wifi

#

y u want b450

ebon matrix
#

yea'

#

that one

stoic island
#

no wifi lol

#

it'll say when it has wifi :P

ebon matrix
#

ok

stoic island
#

for example

#

but just go with b550m pro vdh wifi smh

jaunty elk
#

honestly, i wouldnt build a ryzen system today with a b450 or x470. x570 or b550 or bust imo

stoic island
#

me too

ebon matrix
#

k

stoic island
#

but B450m vdh or whatever that's at 60$ is a valid option for very very budget builds

#

but a520 also an option

solar sigil

I have compatability question. BIOS update might require for AMD Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series CPU and Sabrent 2TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive With Heatsink (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-HTSK-2TB).

now in english

um

little osprey

Trying to ask whether there are any compatibility issues with ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS motherboard and abrent 2TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 with heat sink using MSI Radeon RX 580 video card and CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 64GB RAM?

earnest olive
#

@plush mist well yes, you have less room for airflow and less space for coolers/fans

plush mist
#

ohhh ok, thx!

#

i have a friend whos interested in building mini itx

solar sigil
#

Are you asking if they will all fit together dimension wise?

earnest olive
#

@little osprey i'm sorry but like can you type "RX 580" instead of "RX 580 8GB ARMOR OC GRAPHICS CARD THAT DISPLAYS PICTURES TO MONITOR" i can't read your message without getting a headache

little osprey
#

yes

earnest olive
#

for mini itx you just gotta be careful checking all your dimensions

#

cooler clearance, ram clearance, gpu clearance, gpu height, everything

#

needs more planning than a regular build

solar sigil
#

absolutely

little osprey
#

Didn't think I was building mini itx. Thought motherboard is atv which is going into a full size case

#

atx

plush mist
#

yes, i will be sure to tell him that

#

thanks

earnest olive
#

not you

#

there's other people here

little osprey
#

no problem

earnest olive
#

i'm kind of interested in doing a mini itx build in the future

solar sigil
#

@little osprey just to clarify you're asking about sizing compatibility too right? it sounds like youre asking about that and a BIOS version compatibility

stoic island
#

@little osprey what's the cpu

little osprey
#

primarily sizing compatibility but yes BIOS as well

stoic island
little osprey
#

I think everything work from electronics perspective but will I have clearance issues?

solar sigil
#

can we get a pcpartpicker link?

little osprey
#

where would I find that or put that together?

solar sigil
#

create a new build

stoic island
#

Mhm, it checks a good amount of the physical clearances (not all) for you, and makes it easier to look at what you have

#

And also shows price

little osprey
#

Ok, working on the list

solar sigil
#

we should have a command like !ppp that requests a pcpartpicker link and all that jazz

stoic island
#

Imagine if we get a bot command that just links my saved lists >:D

Yes

#

@whole harbor didn't I just say S12iii trash

whole harbor
#

oh lol

#

I didnt read it

#

The 9100f is better than the 3100

#

Right?

stoic island
#

in what way

#

upgradability no

#

cheap, not right now

#

When it was 75$ for the chip, it was cheaper and therefore better for cheap builds

#

now it's 110$

solar sigil
#

whats wrong with the 512iii?

#

does it explode?

stoic island
#

more like a N3

#

aka, more the burning less blowing up

whole harbor
#

rate that

stoic island
#

(Not quite bad enough to blow up, but still really bad)

#

smh

#

just use 3100+b550m hdv at that point

whole harbor
#

Me?

stoic island
#

MSI AMD cards aren't great

whole harbor
#

Who?

stoic island
#

who else

#

it's general advice

whole harbor
#

So if i get the 9400f

#

it has low upgradability

#

i could just sell it and build another in the future tbh

could someone tell me if this build is good

@green kestrel ye I’m just worried that I am better gaming at 1080p but people say to me you can game well with i510400 and the 5700xt gaming x at 1440p so not sure

raw elk
#

seems fine to me Novel

solar sigil
#

@floral tapir its compatible, not sure how I feel about that specific psu and that m.2

grim pagoda
#

@solar sigil it says some games it bottlenecks the 5700xt by 14% is that a lot or no?

#

In terms of performance is that a big hit like

raw elk
#

you sure you want a sata ssd and not an m.2

solar sigil
#

not a ton but the CPU is the bottleneck not the GPU

floral tapir
#

@solar sigil i dont know what psu i need

raw elk
#

I think I messed up words

floral tapir
#

i just picked one that was fully modular

raw elk
#

I would wait on buying the cpu as they have gone up in price a little

#

guess I was wrong

solar sigil
#

less storage but you can easily throw in a SSD if you need more storage down the line, use the saved cash to upgrade your GPU

next mulch
grim pagoda
#

If I get a 1440p monitor is there any point in getting a 144hz one as I probably won’t be able to reach that performance

Youll be able to use it later down the line if you upgrade your rig

thats expensib

what u running, pp suck 2

#

Anyone know of a good build for warcraft? 😮

boreal merlin
#

@solar sigil wich one would you recommend? i dont know to much about computers

solar sigil

What are you planning on using this for? gaming streaming?

floral tapir
#

@boreal merlin unless ur a million i do not suggest that

boreal merlin
#

@solar sigil yes

floral tapir
#

and ye if ur going to game, stream watch a movie and play vr at the same time i dont suggest that

solar sigil
#

what makes you say that Novel?

floral tapir
#

would 8 cores be just as good for streaming and 32 gb of ram

boreal merlin
#

okeey, what do you recommend me? @floral tapir

floral tapir
#

ITS A 4k build

#

i dont know

#

im just as new

solar sigil

Well we dont really know what they NEED to get out of it

floral tapir
#

if u have the money go for ut

#

whats a good card for Rust Overwatch Csgo

$4,200 is alot for a person who says they don't know alot about computers

Quite a few of them lol Cin, whats your budget

boreal merlin
ebon matrix
#

for gpu 300-400

floral tapir
#

bruv lower ur cores to 8

#

and ur budget for motherboard to >250

boreal merlin
#

@raw elk im just asking, whats the correct price for eath component?

vital warren
#

If you are putting a build together please format it in pcpartpicker as it is easier for us to pick apart

raw elk
#

really the motherboard is more about the features you wan't

#

one question what do you mean by "eath component"

#

each?

boreal merlin
#

each, sorry

raw elk
#

again that's heavily dependent on what gpu and cpu you have

boreal merlin
#

want a 3080

raw elk
#

well I am not totally sure about the 3080's needs

solar sigil
#
