little osprey
#

if i can run games at 1080p medium ill be happy

stoic island
#

lel

#

1650 super should do high settings fine

little osprey
#

oh

sharp tundra
#

Gpu is where like 95% of your gaming power comes from

little osprey
#

what is the 1660 like?

sharp tundra
#

Worse than 1650s

safe vortex
#

Hello All :)
I'm looking at building my own pc for the first time, but extremely intimidated.
I've been researching for a good minute, and have come up with a list of parts.

Is it okay to share here, or is another locations better? Also i'm new here.

little osprey
#

Gpu is where like 95% of your gaming power comes from
@sharp tundra i know but i feel like putting just a tiny bit more on the other parts makes for a more stable and longer lasting pc yk, not cheaping out on the psu, getting an ssd, getting a good cpu

stoic island
#

well, I'd call it a 60fps high settings GPU

little osprey
#

thats good

stoic island
#

watch that vid for benchmarks for whatever game you play

little osprey
#

will i be able to run half life 2?

stoic island
#

HL2 is... quite old

little osprey
#

yeah i only get like 45fps on half life 2

#

oh video has benchmarks, thats good

sharp tundra
#

@sharp tundra i know but i feel like putting just a tiny bit more on the other parts makes for a more stable and longer lasting pc yk, not cheaping out on the psu, getting an ssd, getting a good cpu
@little osprey yeah, the longevity of your pc is a big concern, but upgrades can always be made later, its much easier to upgrade a pc than it is to build one

#

But don't cheap out on a psu ever

#

80+ cert minimum

#

And always make sure you have nuf wattage

little osprey
#

well i want my pc to last atleast 8 or 9 years so

sharp tundra
#

8-9 years with a 1650s?

little osprey
#

my current pc bas lasted 9 years, 9500 gt, i3 2nd gen, 2gb ram

sharp tundra
#

I mean, you'll be long behind the game if your waiting that long

little osprey
#

its a good pc but i feel like

#

i need to move on to something new

sharp tundra
#

That is not a good pc bro

little osprey
#

still clean and everything though

sharp tundra
#

2gb of ram, makes me wanna hurl

little osprey
#

it is a good pc, i clean it oftern and i have a nice setup

#

and it plays games well like half life 1, gta san andreas, even minecraft..just about

#

720p, medium-high, ~70fps

sharp tundra
#

Well, that $600 pc mr1111 gave you will be 1000ร— better than your current

little osprey
#

i know thats why im upgrading

mossy heart
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WqRpHz Hey, I'm trying to upgrade my system to something that can play witcher 3 and RE7 at 1440p 144fps (I'm fine with not using max settings, I prefer high instead of max settings if that makes the game hit 144), any suggestions?

little osprey
#

ill keep my old pc though, give it to my little brother :)

stoic island
#

@mossy heart Oh nice team dark pros?

sharp tundra
#

Ur little brother will be ungrateful, and I wouldn't blame him

stoic island
#

really nice kit of ram

sharp tundra
#

Lol

little osprey
#

and my old old pc, (has a nvidia 3, 26mb ram) i still use for things like, web browsing, work ect

mossy heart
#

@stoic island yeah i got them on some deal a while back, i got interested bcuz of latency

little osprey
#

no he will be happy, he's always wanted to play games on pc

stoic island
#

and b die overclocking capabilities :D

sharp tundra
#

I don't think you get what I'm saying

stoic island
#

tuning will be fun, anyways

little osprey
#

i dont get what your saying no

sharp tundra
#

Your machine can't "game" at today's standards

little osprey
#

i know

stoic island
#

@mossy heart The primary concern is the GPU, I'd get a 3070 or 3080 for 1440p144hz.

little osprey
#

any game past 2004 kills my pc

stoic island
#

secondary, is CPU, and maybe motherboard.

sharp tundra
#

Amd im sure your brother wants to be playing snake and pong in 2020

little osprey
#

um

stoic island
#

If you want to jump on the real nice 5600x hype train, a B550 board is gonna be nice, but a 3600(x)(t) will be a good upgrade if you don't want to upgrade motherboard.

little osprey
#

my pc is more than capable of playing snake, nomad

#

i still have fun today on games like minecraft, csgo, war thunder

#

(csgo gets 80fps at 720p low and war thunder gets 80-90fps at 1080p low)

mossy heart
#

Yea I've been looking at the 3070, so hopefully by the end of this year or next year I can pick one up when stock is stable

little osprey
#

better than my old pc that struggles to run half life

stoic island
#

@mossy heart there's also the "quality of life" upgrade of either getting a NVMe SSD for more games you can put on a SSD, or a HDD to offload stuff so you can get more space for games on the SSD.

little osprey
#

i dont get whats the hype over an ssd

stoic island
#

the PSU is solid, case is good enough, and MX500 decent enough.

little osprey
#

what does ssd do?

stoic island
#

ram is great

#

@little osprey to put simply
SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

rough escarp
#

when using dual monitors what part of the pc is being used most

stoic island
#

GPU

little osprey
#

ohh

#

more fps? with ssd?

stoic island
#

It's actually possible

little osprey
#

oh

stoic island
#

also overall system responsiveness over HDD

little osprey
#

hmmmm

stoic island
#

(And instead of waiting 5 minutes to load into rust, you load in a minute)

rough escarp
#

ok will a 1650 super and a 3 3100 be ok for dual monitors

little osprey
#

i seem to have good responsiveness with hdd though

stoic island
#

Well, if you're not trying to game on both monitors, it'll be fine.

little osprey
#

ok will a 1650 super and a 3 3100 be ok for dual monitors
@rough escarp very likely yes

stoic island
#

it'll struggle running 2 games because, logic.

little osprey
#

depends, newer games maybe

rough escarp
#

one is game and the other is what ever else

stoic island
#

yea

little osprey
#

yeah itl be fine then

rough escarp
#

ok

stoic island
#

like discord nd stuff, it won't hit it too hard.

little osprey
#

eh

#

discord literally halves my fps

#

but ok

stoic island
#

lol

#

that's your laptop smh

little osprey
#

is that limited cuz of cores?

#

i have a pc not laptop

stoic island
#

turn off hardware accel in discord

little osprey
#

ok

stoic island
#

Thing is, discord doesn't affect my fps on this 4c8t laptop with iGPU, or my desktop with 8c16t with good GPU.

little osprey
#

sorry for going

#

my bf wanted me

#

well i have 2 cores

sharp tundra
#

Dual core? ๐Ÿคฎ

#

How

#

How is it even possible to play games on it?

little osprey
#

uh

#

cuz games only need

#

2 cores?

#

like-

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, but you can't do like ANYTHING else with that tho, you can't even watch quick YouTube tutorial or something without closing the game

little osprey
#

this is half life 2 reccomended specs

#

i have more than that

#

and would you know, it runs at ~45fps at 1080p max settings

#

theres a reason why 2 cores, 1 for youtube or wahtever, 1 for the other game

#

genius

#

no more slowing down ur pc when watching youtube at the same time

#

i can even have 2 windows open!

#

works for me, just about and thats why im ๐ŸŒŸ upgrading ๐ŸŒŸ

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, you definitely need this upgrade, you'll begin to see why more cores are necessary when you get the other 4 attached with your new pc

little osprey
#

oh

#

4 cores!

#

wow

#

wait @sharp tundra will i be able to get like 60fps on war thunder and csgo?

#

with say.. a 1650

sharp tundra
#

Yes

#

I meant you'll have 6 cores

#

Which is ideal for today's standards

normal osprey
#

Is windows 10 required when you build a pc

sharp tundra
#

No, but most games and apps use windows 10 so if you don't have it, you'll be limited

normal osprey
#

Appreciate it

stoic island
#

@normal osprey do remember, you can download, install, and use most of windows 10 without buying a key.

little osprey
#

so csgo will get 60fps at 1080p?

#

nvm..300fps

#

wow

sharp tundra
#

Esports titles aren't very demanding, so you could honestly get csgo at 4k 120fps

little osprey
#

now im just exited asf

weak field
#

yeah

#

csgo is a very good optimized game

#

not too cpu or gpu intensive

#

theres really no difference between a 1660ti and a 3090

idle hawk
#

@balmy patio i summon you

weak field
#

low settings is still 300+fps

#

crazy

raw sparrow
#

@stoic island im not sure if its a standard 2.5 SSD but when i connect them systems arent there and it says turn off and resart

#

What can i do to get it too boot

little osprey
#

HOLD TF UP

#

friday the 13th!

stoic island
#

don't have the SSD plugged in

#

use something else

little osprey
#

wow theres some awesome deals on newegg fr

#

like 100 off a 3600x

weak field
#

woah

little osprey
#

nomad, ur pc sounds good, 5600 xt is good right?

#

isnt that like just below a 1660 ti?

#

or somin like that

sharp tundra
#

@stoic island so I have a ryzen 7 2700x I don't stream or do any rendering or editing, just gaming. Should I see if my friend wants to trade his ryzen 5 3600 cause he does do some streaming and stuff sometimes?

little osprey
#

yeah i think thats aa good trade

sharp tundra
#

isnt that like just below a 1660 ti?
@little osprey almost equivalent to a rtx 2060

little osprey
#

if u dont stream or anything a 5 3600 is good for gaming

drifting garnet
#

I should be building my first ever gaming PC on Christmas. Here are specs for everyone who actually cares:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT
GPU: Asus TUF Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super
RAM: Team T-FORCE 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHZ CL16
MoBo: Gigabyte B450M D3SH
Storage: Team 512GB SSD
PSU: EVGA BR 600W 80+ Bronze
Case: NZXT H510

little osprey
#

sounds good but

#

id maybe go a bit higher on the psu

#

never cheap out ur psu

sharp tundra
#

His gpu is fine

little osprey
#

case, motherboard, and cpu are definently good

sharp tundra
#

Psu*

little osprey
#

storage...

#

a bit low imo, atleast 1tb u should go for

drifting garnet
#

I will upgrade the drive in the future but I don't wanna have my dad spend anymore.

little osprey
#

IN MY opinion what i would do is go for a bit better storage and psu and a bit lower on the cpu, get a 3600x or 3600

sharp tundra
#

You could save some money by just getting a 3600

little osprey
#

yea and then u can upgrade ur storage

drifting garnet
#

Believe it or not, 3600XT is cheaper than 3600X on Amazon RN.

sharp tundra
#

The xt isn't really that performance gifting for the difference in cost

little osprey
#

oh nvm

drifting garnet
#

Yep, not sure why it is cheaper.

little osprey
#

welp its better so why not lol

drifting garnet
#

Yeah 3 extra FPS.

sharp tundra
#

Get a r5 3600 if your just gaming

little osprey
#

but nomad the 3600xt is cheaper

#

and better

sharp tundra
#

Amd use that extra money towards a better gpu

#

Than a 3600?

little osprey
#

yes

sharp tundra
#

Or 3600x

weak field
#

syug

little osprey
#

its cheaper on amazon than a 3600 for some reason

stoic island
#

@sharp tundra your choice

#

they don't need it more

sharp tundra
#

I mean, would i be gaining or losing amything

#

Besides those 2 cores I won't be using most likely

drifting garnet
#

I think the PSU will be fine, I haven't heard anything bad about it like the cheaper 500-550w 80+ PSU's.

#

Like $45 ones.

floral wasp
#

I have a 512b hard drive and I'm trying to transfer my data into a 4096b solid state drive. An error message keeps popping up on my cloning software because I don't think this action is possible. Any recommendations on how to fix this?

idle hawk
#

nomad you have alot of headroom in ur build

weak field
idle hawk
#

nate i agree with amelia for the psu

sharp tundra
#

Okay, I just know that the 3600 has higher clock speeds than the 2700xand I don't need 8 cores so I figured I'd see if the trade would be worth it

drifting garnet
#

Ok

idle hawk
#

why the kermitvade lmaoo

weak field
idle hawk
#

but why lmaooo

weak field
#

he
knows
all

idle hawk
#

im but a humble man

drifting garnet
#

So will the EVGA BR burn my house down or is it just like efficiency?

weak field
#

with dark secrets

idle hawk
#

its not the evga brand is the issue

weak field
#

evga bstock

#

deal

idle hawk
#

its the efficiency rating

little osprey
#

Hey ever since I installed my new gpu when ever I put more stress on the gpu such as increasing the resolution from 1080p to 4k or putting the game at max graphics settings my pc black screens and crashes and the only way I can restart it is by turning the psu switch off then on does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do?

idle hawk
#

turn it down from 4k

weak field
#

and its running good on those res?

sharp tundra
#

Don't run 4k

drifting garnet
#

Well I don't wanna spend that much more on a PC that is the problem.

sharp tundra
#

Simple solution

weak field
#

like not 6fps

idle hawk
#

4k naturally has a heavier load on graphics and cpu

little osprey
#

It runs fine on 1080p

weak field
#

its going to commit die if it cant handle it

idle hawk
#

ok your problem is solved lol

weak field
#

and i will commit cry if it commits die

sharp tundra
#

4k maybe be using more wattage too that your psu can't handle

little osprey
#

But my gpu should handle 4k though should it not the card is an rx 5700xt

idle hawk
#

july ima commit kermitcide

sharp tundra
#

Oh a 5700xt?

drifting garnet
#

It runs fine on 1080p
@little osprey Yeah that i3 might be the problem bud.

little osprey
#

The i3 is a joke

weak field
#

cap

drifting garnet
#

Yeah good

sharp tundra
#

Provably your psu saving its life for using whats not there

little osprey
#

I have a 9700f

idle hawk
#

lolol

weak field
drifting garnet
#

What about GPU, your system probably can't handle it anyway.

raw sparrow
#

@stoic island so i got into the bios but its not showing SSD

idle hawk
#

do you rreally have a3090?

little osprey
#

Provably your psu saving its life for using whats not there
@sharp tundra actually yeah now that I think about the psu is 100 percent the problem

stoic island
#

Does it show anything in the SSD's slot?

weak field
#

whats the psu

#

wattage

little osprey
#

do you rreally have a3090?
@idle hawk i wish

raw sparrow
#

No

idle hawk
#

whats ur gpu

drifting garnet
#

What GPU do you have?

little osprey
#

5700xt

idle hawk
#

ahh ok so graphics driver it is then

drifting garnet
#

Not bad but I don't think it is that good for 4k.

#

1440p tho.

#

But I don't think it should be crashing.

little osprey
#

I guess I'll have to wait till amd comes out with a driver update

drifting garnet
#

๐Ÿ‘

idle hawk
#

in my opinion i feel like 4k is useless

#

but Mr1111 brought up a good point

#

is ur SSD slowing down

drifting garnet
#

I mean it looks good but FPS will go wayy down.

raw sparrow
#

@stoic island no its not showing up

weak field
little osprey
#

I like playing game campaigns at 4k even if it's at 60fps

sinful hornet
#

wait what

#

not necessarily drivers

#

whats your psu

little osprey
#

650w

idle hawk
#

guy thats why i also asked about the ssd

sinful hornet
#

it could definitely be the psu

weak field
#

might be a seasonic

#

or a tt smart

drifting garnet
#

lol

weak field
sharp tundra
#

Especially if ita actually a Chinese psu

little osprey
#

Corsair 650w

sinful hornet
#

sounds like a psu not providing enough wattage issue

#

do you know the rating?

#

/efficiency

sharp tundra
#

Thats what I said earlier

drifting garnet
#

I think it is a little low for those specs but not that low.

sharp tundra
#

All corsair psu's are 80+

little osprey
#

If anyone is wondering my nn is a joke I don't have a Chinese psu and don't have an i3 paired with a 3090

sharp tundra
#

When you skip leg day

#

Lol

idle hawk
#

change it bro lol

weak field
little osprey
#

I have evga deaht coodlsa

#

zdsd;sfksdf

raw sparrow
#

@stoic island what should i do

little osprey
#

\dsfjskdjflksf

sinful hornet
#

i mean, i dont know much about psu limiting crashes, but if its the psu switch that makes it work sounds like psu issue to me

drifting garnet
#

I don't think it is the PSU causing the crash, probably a driver error.

weak field
#

if you guys didnt know

idle hawk
#

it nn is like saying ur going to the gym and you havea quarter of a 6 pack and holding 2 big macs at the same time and chugging muscle powder lmaoooo jk

weak field
#

how does that relate?

stoic island
#

@raw sparrow well, we don't know if the drive is dead or not

#

change the slots around

weak field
#

quarter

stoic island
#

if nothing, maybe the drive is just dead or incompatible

drifting garnet
#

I found this nice PSU for $32 of AliExpress should I get it?

idle hawk
#

no

#

lmao

little osprey
#

NO

#

Read my name

drifting garnet
#

Is it better than the EVGA BR

sinful hornet
#

speak of the devil lmao

little osprey
#

Thats where it comes from

idle hawk
#

@weak field my statement relates to a i3 560 and a rtx 3090

raw sparrow
#

How can i guarentee a compatible SSD?

sinful hornet
#

wait

weak field
#

hey guys

Well what psu do you recommend then?

sharp tundra
#

Corsair

drifting garnet
#

The one from AliExpress

idle hawk
#

850w for future proofing MY OPINION

sharp tundra
#

Oh yeah, AliE

little osprey
#

Ok ill get a 450w corsair @sharp tundra

idle hawk
#

oof

#

I watched it

sharp tundra
#

And an all wish build

drifting garnet
#

O

idle hawk
#

ok ok mr.vader no more spamming bro lol

drifting garnet
#

Should I get the amazon PSU I found at the bottom of page 85?

little osprey
#

850w for future proofing MY OPINION
@idle hawk do you think I could get away with a 750w

drifting garnet
#

Will it be better than my laptops power brick?

#

@idle hawk do you think I could get away with a 750w
@little osprey I do

#

750w should be fine.

idle hawk
#

you can but to be safe just look around for prices with 850 and 750 and compare prices to see which one is better

drifting garnet
#

Ye

idle hawk
#

me i have a 1300w

drifting garnet
#

U can borrow my laptop power brick

#

45W

little osprey
#

What efficiency rating should I get

idle hawk
#

always push for gold but try for plat

drifting garnet
#

Not sure what my power brick is what ever that is

#

I think power brick is 80+ gold

idle hawk
#

it all depends on budget

#

mine is a seasonic 1300w gold

weak field
#

๐Ÿ˜ณ

#

seasonic

idle hawk
#

it was 300

weak field
#

#

Never heard of someone buying a plat lol

idle hawk
#

nope

weak field
#

yes rico kaboom

drifting garnet
sharp tundra
#

mine is a seasonic 1300w gold
@idle hawk you got a 1300w psu and didn't at least get 80+ plat?

little osprey
eager flower
#

Get this one
@drifting garnet you finna buy a bomb

drifting garnet
#

lol

idle hawk
#

cause 1300w plat is like 500 lmaoo

sharp tundra
#

But you'll never have to worry about your psu going boom

drifting garnet
#

They were complaining about me wanting a 80+ Bronze so maybe

#

IDK

#

Probably platinum or gold

idle hawk
#

mine wont go boom cause ill never hit 1300 watts

#

from the plug as a the whole system im hitting 700w

eager flower
#

platinum is lowkey for loosers

#

titanium all the way

idle hawk
#

fallen which 3070 are you using

eager flower

sharp tundra
#

Indeed

little osprey
#

Until I get a new psu should I just undervolt my gpu to stay safe

idle hawk
#

how do you like it

#

Until I get a new psu should I just undervolt my gpu to stay safe
@little osprey for now yes

I see a EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper Gaming for sale but it's a watercooled card and I was wondering what it would take to do that

Imma build an E-atx PC for future LAN parties

#

I see a EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper Gaming for sale but it's a watercooled card and I was wondering what it would take to do that
@left shore does it come as an aio?

#

Or just the waterblock

left shore
#

Waterblock

sharp tundra
#

Oh, I wouldn't suggest unless you have time, money, and knowledge

left shore
#

But it's only 389

sharp tundra
#

For the full loop?

#

Or the gpu?

left shore
#

No for the GPU

sharp tundra
#

A 2080ti for 389?

#

That doesn't sound right

left shore
#

Fax

sharp tundra
#

It might be 389 for just the waterblock

weak field
#

yeaaaa

#

thats what they mostly are

left shore
#

Nah it says for the card

sharp tundra
#

Bro, no 2080ti is ever gonna be sold for 389

weak field
#

gpu for sale

#

its the gpu

#

maybe they know there not gonna get a higher price

sharp tundra
#

Maybe

weak field
#

cuz you can just buy a 3070 and get more performance

sharp tundra
#

But at than point they're just ripping themselves off

left shore
#

Probably since it's a Watercooled card too

sharp tundra
#

The FE 2080ti is $1200

weak field
#

but do you have to watercool it?

sharp tundra
#

And 3rd party is usually more

idle hawk
#

is it me or that looks like only the water block not the card

steel flare
#

hiiii

weak field
#

in the description it says the fou

#

gpu

idle hawk
#

but it looks like it needs a custom loop \

left shore
#

Yeah

#

That's probably why

sharp tundra
#

Either someone doesn't know what they got, or they described it wrong

weak field
#

id pm

drifting garnet
#

It went up to 475

It might be auction

Lol when I pull the 24 pin out of the mobo to remove the psu a standoff screw gets ripped out of the mobo standoff

wild karma
#

@stoic island

stoic island
#

yes

#

explain

#

so it turns OFF after you add more ram?

wild karma
#

so my monitor only works wiht 1x4 kit

stoic island
#

or does it NOT turn off

wild karma
#

if i add more ram it just says power save mode

#

and turns off

#

So rn im using 4 gigs of ram

stoic island
#

What do you have

wild karma
#

a 2009 dell monitor

stoic island
#

Desktop and a separate monitor, or an all-in-one monitor thing?

wild karma
#

i picked up earlier today

little osprey
#

What chipset is your motherboard

wild karma
#

ryzen 5 3400g

little osprey
#

So am4

#

But what series

wild karma
#

yes

#

cpu?

stoic island
#

@wild karma Okay, so let's figure out what you have, is the PC separate from the monitor?

sinful hornet
#

did they guy with the bios probelm get it fixed?

little osprey
#

300, 400, or 500 series chipset

wild karma
#

yes

stoic island
#

I'm guessing yes

wild karma
#

its seperate

stoic island
#

okay

#

What motherboard and specific kit of ram are you trying?

#

@sinful hornet the guy flashing bios or

wild karma
#

msi b450m pro-vdh

sinful hornet
#

ye him

stoic island
#

dif chat

wild karma
#

and a gskil 2x4 kit and a viper 2x4 kit

little osprey
#

What ram kit?

sinful hornet
#

scrolled up for a bit couldnt find anything

stoic island
#

cpu memory chat

sinful hornet
#

oh

#

lmao

#

nothing apparently

stoic island
#

Okay, @wild karma you're trying just 2 sticks of g.skill/viper in slots 2 and 4 correct?

wild karma
#

yes

#

and its not working

stoic island
#

So single stick in slot 2 works?

little osprey
#

What ram slots are you putting the sticks in

left shore
#

So wait is that card legit or?

wild karma
#

slot b2

#

is working

#

but no other slots

#

i tried 1 stick every slot only b2 worked

little osprey
#

Or did you pull a verge and put them right next to each other

stoic island
#

fun

wild karma
#

I didnt put them right next to eachother

stoic island
#

with every stick?

wild karma
#

yes

sinful hornet
#

slot 2 and 4 from the left?

stoic island
#

(each stick, each channel tested)

wild karma
#

every stick works b2

#

and when I turn on my monitor it says to put it in a2 for better compatibiity but it doesnt work in a2

stoic island
#

@wild karma and what do debug LEDs say if you try stick a2

wild karma
#

ive never checked

#

but right now there are no debug lights on

little osprey
#

The intel 4004 is amazing for that game @drifting garnet

wild karma
#

if I were to try a2 it might not work again

stoic island
#

alright tell me

wild karma
#

k

#

itl be a whle

stoic island
#

not working is fine

#

as long as you get debug LED to tell ya smth

wild karma
#

When itโ€™s ina2 the pc turns on them off then on them off

#

The debut light is on.

stoic island
#

which one

#

there's 4 with writing next to em

wild karma
#

I canโ€™t tell

stoic island
#

look closer >:D

wild karma
#

CPU

little osprey
#

Ffs

stoic island
#

oh fun

#

that's real fun

drifting garnet
#

The intel 4004 is amazing for that game @drifting garnet
@little osprey i just looked that up and im dying

stoic island
#

@wild karma try re-seating your CPU, and checking if there are any damages to any pins

#

maybe it's just bad contact that's not making channels work

wild karma
#

Ok will be a bit.

drifting garnet
#

A 16 pin CPU LOL ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

little osprey
#

@little osprey i just looked that up and im dying
@drifting garnet it looks like one of those old hex bugs

drifting garnet
#

Yes, I think i still have my hex bugs from like 8 years ago when I was like 6

little osprey
#

Its an Intel 4004

#

Or is it

drifting garnet
#

That CPU is only 12 pin

#

Must be different model

little osprey
#

Probably one of amds weird chips

#

It is red

wild karma
#

@stoic island the cpu needs to cool down first.

little osprey
#

@stoic island the cpu needs to cool down first.
@wild karma cool down?

stoic island
#

wat

#

oh

little osprey
#

Are you even using a cooler

stoic island
#

@little osprey yea let it cool before taking it out of the socket lol

little osprey
#

Oh

#

He is taking it out

stoic island
#

I'm telling them to reseat it

#

because debug LEDs told us CPU

left shore
#

If I was to sell my 2070 XC Ultra how much would I be able to get

stoic island
#

maybe bad contact on one of the pins

left shore
#

I don't have the box

stoic island
#

300-350 I'd say

polar python
#

hai

stoic island

on the high end

wild karma

Would thermal paste need to be reapplies if it was put on today.

weak field
#

no?

little osprey
#

What if bent pin @stoic island lol

left shore
#

I'm buying mine for 336 rn

stoic island
#

then we know what the issue was

polar python
#

i need someone to make me a build for around 1,000-1,200$

weak field
#

its good for months at a time autumn

stoic island
#

@wild karma eh, stock cooler, you don't really have to

#

I personally would with aftermarket coolers when I remount

#

but stock is meh

weak field
#

unless your ocing a ryzen 1 0.0001 at 10.0ghz then you need to like every week

wild karma
#

Can I send pick in his chat?

mellow dew
#

no

stoic island
#

once you level up yea

#

@wild karma dm me and I send for you

little osprey
weak field
#

no scam

stoic island

I must leave soon

weak field

i like the sleekness of aios

little osprey
#

You can pick one of those up for 30 bucks

wild karma
#

None of the pins look bent.

stoic island
little osprey
#

:/

stoic island
#

@wild karma alright, put it back in, make sure it goes in correctly

weak field
#

HE JUST ABSOLUTELY HECCED HIM

little osprey
#

I like the chonkieness of tower coolers

stoic island
#

the point isn't that

polar python
#

can someone make me a build for 1-1.2k usd?

weak field
#

might need to visit a psych ward

stoic island
#

The point is Gammaxx 400 > Hyper 212

if you like the chonk

clean off anything you see

somber surge

And it doesn't look that major

stoic island

blow on it

weak field

on it

stoic island

bad contact is my guess since it CAN post

weak field

dont blow it

somber surge

Yes I know

Alright I blew on in

I have 450 watts would that be the issue?

I have no graphics card tho

So im back and I have a budget of 2k. I need a pc for Art and a little gaming

#

Need some pro help xd

#

Ping me with a build please

lofty void
#

2k usd?

whole harbor
#

@vital warren

reef moss
#

Yea

lofty void
#

what type of art? video editing and stuff

vital warren
reef moss
#

Like manga making

whole harbor
#

@vital warren for art

reef moss
#

and some video edits

#

for animation

whole harbor
#

@reef moss prebuilt?

reef moss
#

No no

#

custom

whole harbor
#

Ok

reef moss
#

and my budget is 2k and or just under 2k

whole harbor
#

Ok

reef moss
#

Ping me whenever bc I have notifications off

whole harbor
#

@vital warren 2k art, editing, gaming pc

vital warren
#

i linked a 1500 for a start

whole harbor
#

ok

reef moss
#

Just ping me when its done pleasee

#

I appreciate ya'll

whole harbor
#

@vital warren what gpu should i get since

#

3080s are hard to get

vital warren
#

whatever fits your budget

whole harbor
#

Not mine

#

LUL

#

im broke

#

@vital warren

#

Would this be good for art

#

Editing etc

#

LUL

reef moss
#

I think he is workin on one right now

whole harbor
#

nope

#

Lol

#

Would u say this could work for art/video editing

#

On a 2k budget

reef moss
#

he isnt?

#

I thought thats what he was doin

whole harbor
#

@reef moss this should be good but try to get it checked by a person with the techie role, @vital warren , @arctic jungle or @stoic island

#

Id say the 3900x is a good choice for art design due to the cores

#

@cyan saffron

#

Whats ur budget?

cyan saffron
#

around 1500-1750 cad

whole harbor
#

Mk

cyan saffron
#

still unsure about stuff

#

of course i wont pay scalper prices

#

i'd like to have a mobo that has a ucb-c header for my front io usb c

whole harbor
#

I hate big budgets man

#

Idk any good parts

cyan saffron
#

well my main goal is a 5600x and an rx6800

#

budget is flexible

#

and I already have the case

#

this build is much more complicated to plan than my previous one its crazy

remote junco
#

Okay this may be a dumb question but if i put a 3600xt onto a msi mag b550 motherboard will i have to do a bios update?

ebon matrix
#

wheres card?

remote junco
#

what

ebon matrix
#

nvm

cyan saffron
#

yeah the card is still not out

ebon matrix
#

k

ebon wing
#

Okay this may be a dumb question but if i put a 3600xt onto a msi mag b550 motherboard will i have to do a bios update?
@remote junco
no

remote junco
#

thank you

ebon wing
#

no problem

reef moss
#

Thank ya!

waxen fiber
#

Perhaps this?

#

The ASRock wouldn't be my first go to but it has connector for front panel USB-C

ebon wing
#

take scythe fuma air cooler

#

cheaper

#

and that chip doesn't run that hot

waxen fiber
#

He had it on his original build

#

so i assumed he wanted it

#

I just left that pieced

ebon wing
#

change the 500gb ssd to something cheaper

waxen fiber
#

piece*

ebon wing
#

that's way overpriced

next kestrel
#

those might not fit

waxen fiber
#

It's PCI gen 4

next kestrel
#

large cpu coolers on ITX boards with corsair ram

cyan saffron
#

the asrock is kinda steep in price. Theres an msi b550 that has a usb c connector that i found too

next kestrel
#

yikes

waxen fiber
#

Hence why the steep price for the 500gb

next kestrel
#

get an aio

cyan saffron
#

and yeah the ram doesnt need to be rgb. I'll probably go for an all black build

next kestrel
#

either 120mm for the back or 240mm at the front

cyan saffron
#

ah yeah gen 4 ssd ill skip on that for now i think

waxen fiber
#

you had RGB ram in your other pcpartpicker build. I just added another RGB. But the mobo may not be bad. And yea a 500gb non 4.0 is like $70

cyan saffron
#

does a 240 aio in the front will fit with the tubes facing down?

next kestrel
#

yes

#

that case is designed for 240mm aios

cyan saffron
#

depending on the lenght of the gpu too

next kestrel
#

true

cyan saffron
#

and lenght of the tubes

next kestrel
#

also i would NOT recommend large cpu coolers for ITX

cyan saffron
#

hence why i also think about going air cooling

#

why not large coolers? risks of bending the board?

next kestrel
#

especially since 120mm aios and 240mm aios are cheap

ebon wing
#

It's PCI gen 4
@waxen fiber
justify your use of gen4 ssd

waxen fiber
#

Personally you could leave the RGB ram and go an AIO if you want RGB

next kestrel
#

no, because of clearance issues in smaller boards

waxen fiber
#

@ebon wing No reason whatsoever. It fit under budget

cyan saffron
#

i thought about the arctic liquid freeeze 2 or a name like that

#

the underdog of the crew

ebon wing
#

u dont even need gen 4 ssd

#

unless u r moving huge 4k or 8k files

waxen fiber
#

No you don't. If you're a personal who likes to have the "cutting edge" you may want it though

cyan saffron
#

not at all

#

mostly doing powerbi stuff

waxen fiber
#

But I meant for a gen 4 it's cheap

#

well reasonable

cyan saffron
#

well one I finish my masters degree and get a job

ebon wing
#

gen4 arent reasonable

#

1tb cost 200 dollars

cyan saffron
#

gen 4 are priced on crack

waxen fiber
#

Amongst the gen 4s the pricing on the sabrent rocket was reasonable. And I agree

narrow rose
#

and its pointless even for moving huge files....

#

the 3090 doesnt even need gen 4

ebon wing
#

for a full time editor I would say If he saves like 1-7 seconds it's worth it for him

waxen fiber
#

Is the 6800xt gonna need gen 4 for their whatcha call it

#

direct storage or something

narrow rose
#

have to have a cpu that can move data that fast to make it worth it

ebon wing
#

as we seen 3000 running on pcie gen 3 and gen 4 didnt made a huge difference so I expect that again on RDNA2

narrow rose
#

the 6800xt wont either because than intel cpu users couldnt use it or buy one

ebon wing
#

why?

waxen fiber
#

The build I'm making rn is 5900x, 64gb of ram, and a 6800xt when they come out. This is supposed to be like my just no budget buy what I want so I'm getting a 4.0 boot drive.

narrow rose
#

no gen4 on intel mobos yet

waxen fiber
#

They say next gen will have it tho?

whole harbor
#

@narrow rose should I get a i3-9100f or 3100 for gaming in my $600 build

ebon wing
#

z490 mobos do have gen4 lanes

narrow rose
#

@waxen fiber it could only be able to use that infinity memory share magic with gen4 though

#

@whole harbor can you stretch it to a 3200g?

cyan saffron
#

the memory sharing thing on amd is only on gen 4?

waxen fiber
#

Yeah I really wanted to be able to see what AMDs game is

cyan saffron
#

or i did not understand

waxen fiber
#

It is

whole harbor
#

@narrow rose how much is that

ebon wing
#

I really hate what did amd did

waxen fiber
#

5000 series processors with 6000 series GPUs

next kestrel
#

@whole harbor get a 3100

ebon wing
#

that ryzen cpu and gpu will share all its memory

narrow rose
#

@whole harbor around $99

next kestrel
#

its better than 3200G in gaming i think

#

afaik

ebon wing
#

intel should also just do that

whole harbor
#

@narrow rose can u send me a $600 build?

#

This is what i have rn

narrow rose
#

yeah I guess the 3100 is a little better than the 3200g

whole harbor
#

is the 3100 better than the 9100f @narrow rose

#

?

#

i dont think it is

#

so i might get a 9100f

ebon wing
#

I wont be recommending u to buy a PS5 but if u r "just gaming" then go for it

waxen fiber
#

Y'all think that 6800xt with the 5900x will do alright running Solidworks occasionally. I'm going to university for engineering and some of my classes require it.

narrow rose
#

9100f is about the same as the 3100

whole harbor
#

Cpu user benchmark says

ebon wing
#

cpu user benchmark is trash

narrow rose
#

user benchmarks is usually a liar

ebon wing
#

biased

whole harbor
#

oh

#

which do i get then

#

@narrow rose

narrow rose
#

I say stick with the 3100

whole harbor
#

ok

narrow rose
#

I actually really like that list you sent

whole harbor
#

Whats better the 7700 or the 3100?

narrow rose
#

I guess the 3100 but not by much

whole harbor
#

Ok

#

Good

narrow rose
#

and I would give it to the 7700k over the 3100 if its OC-ed

whole harbor
#

My old laptop had a 1060m and 7700

#

It was trash

#

Now im upgrading

#

And itll be a lil better

#

so i can get 144hz

#

Also the 1060 6gb u can usually find on ebay new for like $140

#

Even cheaper someyimes

narrow rose
#

it would be nice if you could squeeze a 1660super into the budget or a 5600xt

whole harbor
#

I mean

#

I can

narrow rose
#

for that 144hz the 1060 6gb is going to struggle

whole harbor
#

try

#

@narrow rose in valorant nah

#

ill run just fine

narrow rose
#

lol true not in valorant

whole harbor
#

cause i use 1600x900

#

low settings

#

Does oc on the 1660 super make much a different

narrow rose
#

not really

#

like thats at $661

#

that case is what I recommend usually as a good airflow cheap case

whole harbor
#

@narrow rose

#

This my other build

narrow rose
#

changed a few things got it to around $625

whole harbor
#

Dont get seasonic

narrow rose
#

lol why not?

#

seasonic makes decent psu's

whole harbor
#

Someone told me not yo

#

To

#

Wait lemme check

#

@stoic island

#

Siad that

open peak
#

Question, how big of a difference is there between 1920 and 2560 resolution, cause I've been looking at monitors and theres a bunch of 1920 ones that have really good prices but I haven't been able to find many 2560 ones for a decent price

narrow rose
#

hmm he isnt usually just wrong about something was it perhaps a specific seasonic PSU?

whole harbor
#

The s12iii

#

Is trash

#

He said

#

They fail a lot

#

Ig

narrow rose
#

well it kind of is but so is that evga one you had lol

whole harbor
#

Oh

#

Lol

#

Wats a good one

narrow rose
#

but if you arent pushing it it should be fine

#

thats a 65w cpu and a 125w gpu its barely going to be at half load all the time

whole harbor
#

Yeah ig

#

The i can sell it

#

And get better

#

(Like sell the whole pc)

narrow rose
#

plus on the plus side evga and seasonic both have excellent RMA departments....

#

the odds of them hurting something else in the pc is very low

whole harbor
#

Hows my $750 build

narrow rose
#

I like it too 5600xt/1660super is really where you want to be at

whole harbor
#

Mhmm

narrow rose
#

you will be much happier than with the 1060 6gb

whole harbor
#

yeah ig

#

$140 for the 1060 pretty good

#

Tho

#

since the 1650s is $170

#

And theyre close in performance

narrow rose
#

but they are both terrible and for $30 it can be so much better

astral swift
#

I mean you could wait a few months for the 2060 to go to 250$

#

On ebay

narrow rose
#

1660super and 5600xt will mop the floor with a 1060/1650s

whole harbor
#

Arent the 1660s and 5600xt

#

Like gods

#

When it comes to

#

Price/pef

narrow rose
#

yes

astral swift
#

Yes

Bro why anime girls moan so much

next kestrel

#

i think ur watching the wrong anime

whole harbor

Like when two strongn ppl arenfighting

although @astral swift is also right prices will be dropping once the market stabilizes after these new gpu launches from team red and team green

Two strong people figjting

narrow rose

thats what anime women do....

astral swift
#

Yes once the supply is enough

whole harbor
#

And they cant handle the fight

astral swift
#

I think once team red launches everything theyโ€™ll be able to keep up with demand better

whole harbor
#

๐Ÿคš

narrow rose
#

I dont know about that

whole harbor
#

@narrow rose is a used $250 1070 ti worth?

narrow rose
#

I think team red is going to have one of its best GPU launches of its history

next kestrel
#

they come for around 200$

astral swift
#

Iโ€™d say yes if itโ€™s not killed by mining

#

Well team red never had a โ€œgoodโ€ gpu launch so the bar is low

narrow rose
#

yeah if not mined to death should be fine

When it comes to pcs amd is on top

next kestrel
#

@narrow rose nah

#

oos in 5 minutes

#

like usual

astral swift
#

You could argue that rx580 was a good launch though

narrow rose
#

well its the first time in a long time they are competing on even footing with Nvidias flagship cards

astral swift
#

But obviously this one has more hype

whole harbor
#

LOL I SAW SOMEONE use. A rx580 on a 1k build

#

LUL

next kestrel
#

also 5700xt was meant to beat the 2080 by a lot

#

but uhm

#

drivers

narrow rose
#

lol yeah..... drivers

next kestrel
#

now it beats the 2080 pretty easily

#

a year after launch

#

but.........drivers

#

not that nvidia has good drivers rn

astral swift
#

i mean

next kestrel
#

but amd better have better drivers than last launch

narrow rose
#

agreed

astral swift
#

nvidia's probably gonna have 3060 as their main consumer graphics card

whole harbor
#

Imma get off cya

narrow rose
#

later

#

its just when they couldnt even compete with the 2080ti they lost me

astral swift
#

team red hasnt made a 5700 super yet though ๐Ÿค”

next kestrel
#

amd doesnt do super

#

they do xt

astral swift
#

idk why Nvidia has Super AND Ti

#

why cant they just stick with Ti

narrow rose
#

team green has more money to throw around at changing the same pcb over and over again lol

next kestrel
#

more budget options

astral swift
#

all they do is reduce like 100 cuda cores and rebrand it

#

but yeah i guess more budget options

next kestrel
#

once amd managed to get their 5700xt to stop crashing, it was a better option than 2080

#

so they added 2070 super

narrow rose
#

and the KO lol that was just genius

next kestrel
#

2080 pcb on a 2060

#

amazing

narrow rose
#

its like you too can have a broken 2080 we call it the 2060KO

next kestrel
#

lmao

#

pretty cool idea imo

#

anyway i hope mining becomes relavant for like a couple months again

#

so i can pick up used GPUs for cheap again

ebon wing
#

it's just a 2080 die

narrow rose
#

with too many failures to be a 2080 lol

ebon wing
#

it was intended tbh

next kestrel
#

honestly

narrow rose
#

it is a really good idea. Like making potatoe skins out of left over baked potatoes

next kestrel
#

nvidia or amd

#

they just need to get stuff in stock
