That thing is over kill for what I use it for

#

xD

drifting garnet
#

I was thinking of asking for a G3 for Christmas once. Than I was like nah.

#

I asked for a steering wheel for my xbox and I don't use it that often.

cold jewel
#

I'd recommend just buying parts for a PC then using that laptop for whatever..

drifting garnet
#

Yeah, that is what I am gonna do.

cold jewel
#

You won't get a good gaming laptop for cheap :/

#

They are normally atleast $1,000

drifting garnet
#

Unfortunately.

cold jewel
#

With that price you can get a PC xD

drifting garnet
#

I told my cousin to get a Acer Nitro 5, he wants a laptop because he moves around a lot. I will help him upgrade the ram and storage if he eventually needs to.

cold jewel
#

Ah

#

The nitro 5 isn't that bad.

drifting garnet
#

Yeah, my friend bought one and it was broken on arrival. It wouldn't even boot so I'm pretty sure the drive was damaged from the delivery person. Even though the main drive is SSD which are supposed to be somewhat durable. I'm pretty sure it had a HDD as well though.

#

He said he will never trust acer lol.

#

But it all worked out because when he returned it, he built his own PC.

#

This chat just died.

#

Time to go to general.

little osprey
#

rate

stoic island
#

Meh

drifting garnet
little osprey
#

thank you

stoic island
#

Why a wd blue

drifting garnet
#

I was gonna build something similar this Christmas but my dad is gonna get me better parts. But or that price, I don't see anything wrong. Just keep in mind that motherboard doesn't have Wi-Fi so you will need an adapter if u use Wi-Fi.

stoic island
#

At least get a p1 for like 1$ more

wild karma
#

@stoic island my pc is working with a 2x4 kit now.

#

But still not a 4x4 kit

stoic island
#

@wild karma oo, what's the debug led doing now?

wild karma
#

When I do 4x4 it is cpu

stoic island
#

@little osprey that ram is not cheap nor good

wild karma
#

But 2x4 nothing.

stoic island
#

Interesting

drifting garnet
#

Oh this is the guy who was having trouble with his RAM.

wild karma
#

And with 4x4 the ram is hyper speed

little osprey
#

wow

stoic island
#

We'll keep re-seating cpu as an option for later

wild karma
#

2x4 slow

stoic island
#

@wild karma tried reset cmos?

wild karma
#

Couldn’t get it out

#

Would it help?

stoic island
#

Might need to take gpu off to take cmos battery out

wild karma
#

Apu

stoic island
#

Reset cmos can help a lot with ram being screwy

#

On yea

#

Should be simple to get the battery out and reset cmos then

drifting garnet
#

Gotta do work so bye.

wild karma
#

It’s still really early right now.

cold jewel
#

Cya @drifting garnet

foggy hazel
#

@stoic island instead of pulling battery, touch pins for 10 seconds

wild karma
#

I’ll do it later.

stoic island
#

@foggy hazel I thought you still needed to pull battery for pins?

cold jewel
#

No, you can jump it

foggy hazel
#

no

stoic island
#

Alright

#

That's easier then

foggy hazel
#

pull power cord from PSU

#

and then touch pins for 10 seconds

wild karma
#

What pins.

cold jewel
#

Varies per motherboard

#

What motherboard?

wild karma
#

Msi b450m pro vdh

foggy hazel
#

@wild karma what i am talking about is for @stoic island to share with you, since he is helping you, he knows where in the process you are.

cold jewel
#

Do you see clear_cmos or clr cmos

wild karma
#

Oh

stoic island
#

On mobile rn

#

If you can check your manual, it'll tell you.

wild karma
#

I don’t got it.

#

Got the mobo second hand from a friend.

cold jewel
#

Ah

stoic island
#

Ick

cold jewel
#

Did he send you the manual?

wild karma
#

Worked perfectly fine for him

#

Nah

stoic island
#

I have the manual downloaded on my laptop

cold jewel
#

I'll look online one moment

stoic island
#

It's on MSI's website

#

@wild karma but look around the board physically and see if you see the headers

#

While you're waiting

cold jewel
#

Did he give you the jumper?

#

For the cmos clear?

wild karma
#

Jumper?

stoic island
#

Just need a screwdriver

cold jewel
#

If not don't worry about it

stoic island
#

Or anything metal at all that can bridget the gap

cold jewel
#

Yeah you just need something metal

wild karma
#

Just the mobo backplate and io

eager flower
#

69 emails

cold jewel
foggy hazel
cold jewel
#

Yep

foggy hazel
#

thats the part you need together with it @cold jewel

stoic island
#

Bottom of Motherboard

#

@wild karma can you see the JBAT1 or reset cmos header on your motherboard next to the cmos battery?

cold jewel
#

Use something metal to short it for about 10 seconds I'd say.

wild karma
#

My pc is in a room where some1 is sleeping. Don’t wanna wake them up.

stoic island
#

Alright

#

Say smth when you're able to do it

wild karma
#

I will

idle compass
#

Does every case have a power button on it?

stoic island
#

Every case should

foggy hazel
#

aside from some industrial cases, yes

idle compass
#

Ok

#

Lets say it didnt, how would I turn on the pc?

foggy hazel
#

but you should not be remotely near/close those cases (when you are browsing for something to buy)

#

short circuit 2 pins

idle compass
#

Oh ok

quartz loom
#

Question, how do you know if a power supply is compatible with your motherboard?

#

I was looking into getting this

#

I have an ASUS Prime Z390-A

#

That’s what makes me wonder ^

cold jewel
#

It is an ATX 12V PSU

#

So it will work

arctic jungle
#

no...

quartz loom
#

Sweet. How are you able to determine that?

arctic jungle
#

how is it compatible with skylake

#

wa

#

if it's z390

#

??

cold jewel
#

We are talking about the motherboard with PSU?

quartz loom
#

Yes. I’m wanting to get that PSU

#

Idk if it will work with my Z390-a

cold jewel
#

Do you have a list of your PC parts?

foggy hazel
#

@arctic jungle thats a left over from sleep state support, which required low voltage states etc etc

arctic jungle
#

ohhhhh nvm i read that wrong

#

I thought it was sayign the z390 mobo was compatible with skylake

cold jewel
#

Ah

quartz loom
#

My specs

#

I’m getting a new PSU so I can get a new card. Long overdue.. lol

arctic jungle
#

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

#

corsair?

quick jasper
#

Hi guys i was wondering if i should upgrade soon with all the new stuff comming out soon i have an i5 7400 4c4t and a 1050 ti im not sure if this pc of mine is ready for a new one

arctic jungle
#

whyyyy

cold jewel
#

Ah I see

arctic jungle
#

it doesn't even match the rest of ur parts!!!

quartz loom
#

Relic of a 1060 lol

#

I know. It’s fine

cold jewel
#

Yeah that 32GB is quite weird on that build ahaha

arctic jungle
#

no

quartz loom
#

Why?

arctic jungle
#

it makes sense

#

32 gb or budget

#

but still

cold jewel
#

I mean I suppose

quartz loom
#

I went for 32GB because at the time it was cheaper

cold jewel
#

Oh gotcha

quartz loom
#

I had trident z 16 8x2

#

But it wasn’t compatible when I upgraded from a micro ATX to Z390 lol

cold jewel
#

Ahh

arctic jungle
#

32 gb is honestly a nice thing to look at in task manager bc u can see how ow it is

quartz loom
#

Yeah. I want to build my PC overpowered.

cold jewel
#

True. I just upgraded to 32GB this year

quartz loom
#

Rather spend more and enjoy it

cold jewel
#

I spent an overkill amount of money on over kill memory

#

But I suppose nothing can be overkill

quartz loom
#

But with my I7-9700, 32gb of ram, and hopefully a 2080 or 3070 I’m gonna be kicking ass lol

cold jewel
#

Oh nice!

quartz loom
#

So do y’all not think that PSU will work then?

cold jewel
#

I would honestly recommend an 1000W PSU

#

Even though you won't use it all

#

It is always nice to have that extra head room

quartz loom
#

Yes. I was gonna go for a 750 but my friend has one and has similar specs to me and runs a 2080 and doesn’t have room fo play with

#

But I’m also not wanting to spend more then $200 on a PSU lol

#

But I’m building a starter pc for my gf. I’m taking my old parts and making a Frankenstein lol

cold jewel
#

Fairly good PSU but I assume out of range

#

xD

#

Ah

quartz loom
#

I5-6400 2.7, 16gb, and a 1060 3GB. Good enough to play some decent games

cold jewel
#

Yep

quartz loom
#

Like Minecraft and stuff like that

cold jewel
#

Good ol' 1060

quartz loom
#

That’s all she plays tbh. But I want to play Cold War on like max settings lol

cold jewel
#

I ran a 1060 6GB up until this year. VR made me want to upgrade to a Radeon VII then now I have a 3090 FTW3 coming next week

quartz loom
#

Nice

#

One can dream

vital warren
#

1000w is extreme overkill and g3 is a bad unit from what i've heard

#

if you want a lot of power just get an enermax revolution d.f 850w for 130

#

usd

cold jewel
#

It isn't honestly that bad compared to some of the other g lineups though it is sadly the bottom tier.

arctic jungle
#

1000w is extreme overkill and g3 is a bad unit from what i've heard
@vital warren depends on the parts list

#

1000w is NOT overkill for my build

vital warren
#

antago has triple sli 4090s that's why

#

future tech

cold jewel
#

xD

vital warren
#

1600w wowza

#

okay ur rich

cold jewel
#

SLI 3090 incoming?

arctic jungle
#

okay ur rich
@vital warren no my parents are lol i am not

#

i poor

cold jewel
#

@quartz loom The PSU listed will work with your build. In the title is states ATX12V and it shows it is compatible with ATX12V

median swan
#

Can anyone help me with my build in dms

grim pagoda
#

Is the 27" ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD Gaming a good 1440p monitor?

median swan
#

I would really appreciate it

stoic island
#

G3 is meh

#

It's not bad persay

quartz loom
#

Thanks @cold jewel

cold jewel
#

No problem

median swan
#

could anyone tel me if my build is compatible

cold jewel
#

Sure

#

Parts list?

median swan
#

illl send it rn

idle hawk
#

@stoic island i need your wisdom

median swan
idle hawk
#

do you know how many aorus master 3080s were released into the wild

median swan
#

apparentley these arent compatible

quasi snow
#

You have to send the link of the list and not the link that's in the browser

cold jewel
#

^

stoic island
#

im back

idle compass
#

what is best build for 1.2k 1080p gaming playing stuff like csgo warzone modern warfare siege etc?

quasi snow
idle hawk
#

welcome back

median swan
stoic island
median swan
#

i just sent the right one

stoic island
#

discord is being wacky

#

image wouldn't upload lel

median swan
#

rip

#

so can an intel CPU not be compatible with a gygabyte mobo or sokmething

cold jewel
#

You won't be able to use that motherboard with your listed CPU. @median swan

median swan
#

yeah

#

thouht so

#

how can i find a compatible one?

grim pagoda
#

is a 1440p gaming monitor worth it even if you only will get like 60-100fps in games not 144

stoic island
#

what

quasi snow
#

Intel and AMD use different motherboard types

cold jewel
#

AM4 is for AMD

stoic island
#

@median swan brand has nothing to do with compatibility, chipset and socket matters.

median swan
#

@cold jewel could you find me a intel mobo at relatively the same price and compatibility?

#

oh

cold jewel
#

I'll check for you right now

median swan
#

tysm

grim pagoda
#

@stoic island Is it worth getting a 1440p monitor if in games i only get 60-90fps on highest settings using it or should I go 1080p

drifting garnet
#

is a 1440p gaming monitor worth it even if you only will get like 60-100fps in games not 144
@grim pagoda Probably not.

grim pagoda
#

Ok

stoic island
#

it's worth if you can get ~100fps on highest settings at 1440p

#

because that'll mean 100+fps on high/med settings

#

1440p looks real nice

drifting garnet
#

I mean if that is highest setting i would go for it.

grim pagoda
#

@stoic island @drifting garnet Also I have never had 144hz before, if I get a 1080p 144hz monitor and I get over 144fps will I notice the difference in games much?

cold jewel
median swan
#

yoooo

#

tysm man

#

so thats compatible?

cold jewel
#

Let me check the memory really quick

#

1 sec

drifting garnet
#

If you get over 144 fps it will have better response time.

#

Depends on how much over 144fps you are getting.

clever wolf
#

my firned sold the pc i wanted to buy from him, the one with the 1660 system 😦

median swan
#

:/

#

that sucks

quartz loom
#

It’s on the way

#

Thanks for the help guys 🙂

cold jewel
#

No problem

#

@median swan So sadly that motherboard doesn't support up to the 3000 MHz on your memory.

median swan
#

dang

#

idk what to do now then

cold jewel
#

I'm looking for another one don't worry

median swan
#

all good

cold jewel
#

What is your max budget for motherboard?

median swan
#

uh i only have like 7 more dollars on my max budget :/

#

so 740

#

is my ma

#

x

#

overall

idle compass
median swan
#

so without any motherboard my overall price is 669 rn

idle compass
#

Is this good

balmy patio
#

could use corrections, i'll see what i can do joe

eager flower
#

cold jewel
weak field
#

eager flower
#

yes

weak field
#

balmy patio
#

yes that's what im doing

weak field
#

phew

#

good

cold jewel
#

Let me see if I can find anything cheaper

balmy patio
#

joe, would you like a matx board or normal atx?

median swan
#

yeah i can fit it

#

in my budget i guess

#

unless theres something cheaper at same stats

#

ill ofc take it

cold jewel
#

Let me double check for you

median swan
#

thanks

idle compass
#

could use corrections, i'll see what i can do joe
ok

balmy patio
#

what's your budget?

weak field
#

ok

cold jewel
#

Sadly that is the only board that I'm able to find that will be cheap but good / support everything you have. @median swan

median swan
#

alright thanks

cold jewel
#

No problem 😄

grim pagoda
whole harbor
#

@grim pagoda

#

Whats ur budget

weak field
#

no

#

its decent

#

but could be better for that price range

grim pagoda
#

@whole harbor I have the same build as that video but am wandering wether to get a 1080p monitor or 1440p

#

I can afford a 1440p

violet harness
#

Lol 1440p isn’t much better than 1080

#

Small difference

#

Very small

median swan
#

@cold jewel would it be worth it

#

to buy a good condition used version

#

of the mobo

cold jewel
#

I normally don't buy used just due to the fact that you don't really know if it will run into issues in another month or not. But that is up to you.

median swan
#

hm

#

nah

violet harness
#

@cold jewel would it be worth it
@median swan it actually wouldn’t, mobos are one of the few parts you shouldn’t buy used for multiple reasons

cold jewel
#

Yep

#

Same with GPUs it is very risky

eager flower
#

I don't trust used in genera;

#

Nothing stopping someon from turning a PSU into a bomb

#

you never know why theyre selling

violet harness
#

Exactly lol

cold jewel
#

I don't ever recommend used PC parts it is a major gamble..

#

It may work for a week then next week not boot

#

xD

violet harness
#

Yea

median swan
#

i wotn buy it used

#

wont

#

but for my mobo since its amazon

#

its letting me get 60 dollars off

cold jewel
#

Oh nice!

median swan
#

with some free rewards thing

violet harness
#

Not worth it

median swan
#

nonono

violet harness
#

To get a used mobo

median swan
#

its an amazon promotion

#

60 dollars off

#

the non used

cold jewel
#

For new?

median swan
#

yeah

eager flower
#

which mobo?

violet harness
#

Ohhh

median swan
#

But I do alot more than gaming aha

eager flower

I would never recommend that much storage for just a gamer

eager flower
#

depends

weak field
#

gameyer

uncut pelican
#

overall whats better 3800xt or 5600x?
@cursive flare 5600x yeah

eager flower
#

i mean if you need more cores 3800xt

#

but like

#

the 5600x is just bette

cursive flare
#

i mean if you need more cores 3800xt
@eager flower why would i need more cores?

#

im kinda new to this life

#

mb

eager flower
#

editing

#

whats your purpose for the computer

cold jewel
#

Things like doing graphics design / editing / rendering / etc..

uncut pelican
#

It is helpful for gsming depending on which games you play tbh

eager flower
#

Eh

uncut pelican
#

Things like doing graphics design / editing / rendering / etc..
@cold jewel ^^

eager flower
#

do any games support multi core ye t?

cold jewel
#

I mean if you play VR then some games will use it but it depends.

cursive flare
#

whats your purpose for the computer
@eager flower coding, a bit of gaming and heavy multitasking

cold jewel
#

Ah

#

Then more cores

#

Would be better

eager flower
#

maybe the 3800xt would be b etter

uncut pelican
#

Any tips before i build?

cold jewel
#

Uhm

cursive flare
#

thanks guys

cold jewel
#

Have you watched some videos of builds?

You should be good @uncut pelican

outer heart
#

chromes are absolutely awful

uncut pelican

^^

cursive flare

#

i hate mine with a passion
@outer heart same i would enjoy throwing it out my window

cursive flare
#

thank you

median swan
#

@cold jewel will i be fine with 500 gb since im just doing it for games

cold jewel
#

Anything that you don't know while you are building you can either ask here / read manuals / look online. Just don't guess where something goes if you don't know 100%.

#

Yes @median swan You can always upgrade later anyhow

eager flower
#

remember you need to bend as many pins as possible

cold jewel
#

xDD

eager flower
#

ram should go in slots 2 and 3

outer heart
#

i’ve been using an ipad for school since online started because they suck so much

eager flower
#

and touch anything gold or copper

median swan
#

does it matter what brand of storage i choose

#

or does all that matter the actual storage

cold jewel
#

I mean somewhat

eager flower
#

both

cold jewel
#

Send me a link the the brand you are looking at

eager flower

median swan
#

idk what to choose

#

median swan
#

oh

uncut pelican
#

You need an ssd

eager flower
#

but for booting windows?

uncut pelican
#

For boot drive

cold jewel
#

I would recommend an SSD for primary drive though

eager flower
#

barracuda is t he best HDD

median swan
#

so what should i choose thats good for ssd but at 54-50 dollars

uncut pelican
#

Even a small asd

eager flower
#

thi

#

s

#

its $5 more than the seagate drive

median swan
#

alright sure

cold jewel
#

@median swan The difference between SSD / HDD is very very noticeable

#

SSD is light speed HDD is wait

#

Basically

eager flower
#

Difference is almost night and day

cold jewel
#

Yup

weak field
#

eh

#

ps4 hdd

#

is decent

violet harness
#

ps4 hdd
@weak field no lmao

weak field
#

i have a external seagate 1tb drive

median swan
#

is it possible to use old ps4 parts in ur pc O_O

weak field
#

its speedy

violet harness
#

is it possible to use old ps4 parts in ur pc O_O
@median swan probably not

median swan
#

yea lol

violet harness
#

A good idea

median swan
#

im selling my ps4 to help me pay for this pc

#

at gamestop

cold jewel
#

Ahhh

median swan
#

i havent used it in AGES

cold jewel
#

I've never been really into console gaming.

outer heart
#

do you have digital or disc games

median swan
#

both

weak field
#

i have 2 broken ps4s

#

in my closet

median swan
#

i have like 20 disc games

weak field
#

one doesnt have a vid output and the other does and has a fidgety hdmi oort

#

port

median swan
#

no one plays anymore so i thought i might as well sell my ps4 and its games

#

to buy a pc

weak field
#

ill get a good 20$ for them both

median swan
#

gotta clean it tho

weak field
#

i have a air duster can

#

its equivalent to gamestops cleaning

median swan
#

i am taking the term budget pc build to the max

weak field
#

KermitVader lurking in the shadows for deals

#

i have some other random stuff too

little osprey
#

its equivalent to gamestops cleaning
@weak field is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing?

weak field
#

bas thing

#

you ever bought something used from gamestop?

#

i bought one thing

#

a ps4 controller charging dock

#

disgusting

little osprey
#

lol

weak field
#

dust dirt and oil rubbed on the sides

#

cheeto fingers

#

clorox wipe

little osprey
#

omg

weak field
#

literally takes 6 seconds

#

wipe wipe

#

done

little osprey
#

i never bought something used from gamestop but ill be sure not to

weak field
#

yea

#

best bet

#

is to just not

cold jewel
#

I've sold things at GameStop that is about it

#

Like old Nintendo DS games

#

I got quite a bit for them as well. About $200 worth of games

weak field
#

and you got 40$?

cold jewel
#

I got like $70

#

Wasn't that bad. Was more than I would've gotten from selling them online most likely

weak field
median swan
#

thats what im ding today

#

im gonnna drive to gs

#

and just sell all that

cold jewel
#

I'd check online first to see if they go for more.

#

Like ebay or something

median swan
#

hm

hazy rune
#

Some old games sell online for a lot

cold jewel
#

^

hazy rune
#

Especially GameCube

cold jewel
#

GameStop would most likely give you at tops like $5

weak field
#

yeah

unborn raft
#

h

median swan
#

i could sell my ps4 on ebay for like 300 dollars

#

im looking at current bids rn

#

and ppl r buying it for that

#

deffo gonna do ebay not gamestop

unborn raft
weak field
#

its fine

#

im pretty sure the company bios updates it

split solstice
#

i go tthe same grphics card for 330 hold off till it goes down

weak field
#

if not the lend you a 2nd gen cpu

cold jewel
#

I will look for the bios for you really quick @unborn raft

unborn raft
#

@cold jewel thanks fam

cold jewel
#

It will most likely work out of the box

#

But I will double check

median swan
#

when i sell something on ebay

#

do i just ship it to the adress

#

they say

coarse mica
#

How do your guys benchmarks look?

weak field
#

im pretty sure

median swan
#

how do i know imm getting payed

hazy rune
#

@coarse mica numerical.

median swan
#

for my ps4

coarse mica
#

@hazy rune 🤣🤣🤣

#

I suppose you are correct

unborn raft
#

kermit i want to go with 3rd gen cuz 5th gen is too overpriced now

coarse mica
#

I just completed my first Build so I was curious

cold jewel
#

So it should work @unborn raft This is the bios version that first supports your CPU 2301

hazy rune
#

There’s a lot of benchmarks so tough to say

#

Userbenchmark is a good quick comparison

cold jewel
#

They will most likely ship something higher than 2301 bios @unborn raft

coarse mica
#

Thats what I used!

hazy rune
#

Nice. 3080?

coarse mica
#

3070

median swan
#

arlright guys

#

my ps4 is going up on ebay

#

wish me luck

weak field
#

good luck

hazy rune
#

You need a better display @coarse mica

cold jewel
#

Good luck 😄

median swan
#

ty! xd

hazy rune
#

Take advantage of that horsepower

cold jewel
#

Ask here anytime if you have any questions

coarse mica
#

I upgraded from a 1050 so indeed I do need a better display

hazy rune
#

That’s a top of the line pc

unborn raft
#

@cold jewel thanks for in easy words so i just have to put chip in motherboard and it will run

cold jewel
#

Yep

hazy rune
#

If you like 2560x1080 you can try 3440x1440

coarse mica
#

Thanks @hazy rune . I appreciate that

hazy rune
#

Just keep in mind it doesn’t scale 1080p well

coarse mica
#

What doesn't scale 1080p well?

obsidian temple
#

Can I get feedback on my pc here?

cold jewel
#

Yeah @obsidian temple

hazy rune
#

4K scales fine

wild karma
#

@stoic island so I booted up my pc without changing anything but adding the other 2x4 kit and it works now? I didn’t change anything. Very confused.

coarse mica
#

Im happy about my first build. Should hold up for quite some time 😁

obsidian temple
#

I’m building for the first time and I realized that if I wait, something’s always gonna pop up that’s new

hazy rune
#

Yup

coarse mica
#

You right

cold jewel
#

Yep

coarse mica
#

I learned that pretty quickly

hazy rune
#

If it makes you feel better, I bought a 9700k just recently

obsidian temple
hazy rune
#

You don’t always have to buy the newest thing

cold jewel
#

I bought a Ryzen 9 3900x the month before the new line got released I sorta regret it but my Ryzen 9 3900x is quite overkill for now.

obsidian temple
#

I was able to get the 5600x launch day

coarse mica
#

The meshify is a beaut

cold jewel
#

Announced*

unborn raft
#

thanks again

hazy rune
#

@obsidian temple Do you need 980 pro?

obsidian temple
#

Idk

cold jewel
#

No problem @unborn raft

coarse mica
#

I have one. Its fantastic

hazy rune
#

That’s super expensive if you’re not using it for extensive work

#

I would get a 970 evo plus instead

#

Double the capacity

obsidian temple
#

My friend recommended it, but I do t understand why it’s good.

#

That’s what I was thinking of

hazy rune
#

Realistically you won’t be able to tell the difference between most nvme drives

obsidian temple
#

A 1TB 970 evo plus

hazy rune
#

Yes. They’re $143 on amazon.

obsidian temple
#

I’m just getting into building and I’m kinda scared of the price of my build run

stoic island
#

@wild karma maybe reset cmos fixed it, anyways, if it ain't broke, don't fix it >:D

cold jewel
#

Yep, CMOS always fixes weird issues

#

xD

coarse mica
#

Dude it took me months to compile everything

#

Don't be discouraged!

hazy rune
#

I didn’t look at the price until afterwards lol

o.O nice build

stoic island
coarse mica
#

I ended up buying the 980

stoic island
#

Much easier to digest than a text wall

coarse mica
#

Sorry!

stoic island
#

Is ok

little leaf
#

Why would you buy a 9900....

#

10900 sorry

cold jewel
#

You thinking about getting 32GB of ram? @coarse mica

hazy rune
#

Don’t be that guy

coarse mica
#

I got it from someone for 300

little leaf
#

I mean a 10600k wouldve been better but thats hindsight

stoic island
#

Wait

coarse mica
#

Yeah I agree

stoic island
#

@coarse mica you buy a 980 pro?

cursive flare
#

3700x vs i5 10600k which one is better

coarse mica
#

Ye

stoic island
#

Or what do you mean by "bought a 980"

hazy rune
#

Depends what you’re doing and what the price is @cursive flare

stoic island
#

Because Intel can't support pcie 4.0

#

It'll be forced to run on pcie 3.0

cursive flare
#

Depends what you’re doing and what the price is @cursive flare
@hazy rune everyday use

little leaf
#

@cursive flare gaming 10600k and workstation 3700x

obsidian temple
#

Will only two case fans be bad for a pc?

little leaf
#

Depends on the components

coarse mica
#

I have the 970 I fudged up haha just

analog hearth
#

Will only two case fans be bad for a pc?
Nope. Not necessarily

hazy rune
#

More fans is usually better

cold jewel
#

@obsidian temple It depends on the build of the case

hazy rune
#

But you get diminishing returns

analog hearth
#

It actually depends on the case

obsidian temple
#

I got the meshify c and it came with two fans

little leaf
#

Thats fine

analog hearth
#

Should be fine

#

Meshify C has great cooling iirc

cold jewel
#

Yep that will be fine

little leaf
#

Stock meahify c is good enough

obsidian temple
#

Thanks

cursive flare
#

is the 3800xt way better than the i5 10600k?

stoic island
#

No

hazy rune
#

Xt cpus are a terrible value

stoic island
#

It's worse in gaming

#

@cursive flare 3800xt doesn't make much sense

cursive flare
#

@cursive flare 3800xt doesn't make much sense
@stoic island i got it cus it was the same price as the 3800x

stoic island
#

Which is more expensive than 3700x smh

little leaf
#

3800x and xt bad

stoic island
#

I bought a 3800x at same price as 3700x

#

Still regret

cursive flare
#

3800x and xt bad
@little leaf are they reallu ?

little leaf
#

3700

cursive flare
#

but the 3800xt is slightly better than the 3700x

stoic island
#

Emphasis on slightly

cursive flare
#

lmao

#

i might just return the 3800xt and just get a 3700x

hazy rune
#

More effort than its worth if you’ve already installed it

stoic island
#

If it's still shipping it's worth

cursive flare
#

More effort than its worth if you’ve already installed it
@hazy rune nah

#

still in the box

stoic island
#

Or still in box

cursive flare
#

i got from amazon

little osprey
#

How easy is it to bend back usb 3 header pins?

#

Will I beak them if I bend them back

little leaf
#

@cursive flare oh from amaz

#

Ez return

#

You can return things out of box and theyll give you full price

cursive flare
#

what do i tell them?

hazy rune
#

It doesn’t matter

little leaf
#

Just ask for a return

stoic island
#

Don't need to afaik

cursive flare
#

they check the product when they receive it tho

little leaf
#

Within 30days

#

Even if it not broke

#

You can return

stoic island
#

@cursive flare say the product was not what you expected

hazy rune
#

Longer right now

#

Until January

stoic island
#

If you have to say anything

#

They don't care

cursive flare
#

@cursive flare say the product was not what you expected
@stoic island its sealed tho

Ik

cursive flare

hazy rune

Yup

It doesn't matter

Just try to return

quasi hamlet
#

Hello

#

I need help

cold jewel
#

What's up @quasi hamlet

quasi hamlet
#

Wait pliz

cold jewel
#

Kk

quasi hamlet
#

mis ventiladores de mi gabinete no giran

#

my cabinet fans don't turn

#

xd

stoic island
#

Case fans eh

cold jewel
#

Ah

quasi hamlet
#

see

cold jewel
#

Are they plugged into the motherboard?

stoic island
#

Plug in the 4pin pwm headers

cold jewel
#

^

quasi hamlet
#

no

Plug in the 4pin pwm headers
@stoic island look

stoic island
#

@quasi hamlet there's a separate connector for the fan, and the rgb.

quasi hamlet
cold jewel
#

Yes, they need to plug into the motherboard too.

#

That is just the RGB

stoic island
#

I don't like rgb

#

Too messy too weird

cold jewel
#

It complicates everything @stoic island

#

xD

stoic island
#

Ikr

quasi hamlet
#

xd

#

is my first pc gamer

cold jewel
#

90% of the time doing my build was wiring the RGB

stoic island
#

With hubs it gets even more annoying

cold jewel
#

Indeed

stoic island
#

@quasi hamlet unplug the fans, rgb and 4 pin.

#

And the only plug in the 4pin pwm onto the motherboard

#

Ignore the rgb to start off

quasi hamlet
#

okey

#

ty

#

I will try

median swan
#

Bay*

cold jewel
#

Those games might go for quite a bit @median swan

median swan
#

yeah they are quite new

cold jewel
#

Yep

median swan
#

should i just sell it all in one

#

or seperately

cold jewel
#

Up to you. Just try to get the most you can for those games. You have a lot of money in those games as well.

median swan
#

what should i put the starting price at

cold jewel
#

For the PS4?

weak field
#

id sell the ps4 and a controller for like 140$ or around that area and then another controller for 30$ and the games for 5-10$ a piece

#

pretty good deals

#

makes 10-15times the amount you would at gamestop

median swan
#

So definitely do games seepage

#

Separate

#

From the ps4

barren crypt
#

Hey uh

#

Is the Arctic P12 case fan a good exhaust fan

weak field
#

yes

#

@median swan or you could raise the price of the ps4 to like 200$ and put both controllers and a couple games

#

or make a big post explaining 5$game 30$controller 140$console

stoic island
#

P12 great

barren crypt
#

Ty

#

Ok i got it

#

Got my hands on a 3070

cold jewel
#

You could probably easily get $10 per game

weak field
#

how

cold jewel
#

I mean if they are newer they should be able to sell for $10.

weak field
#

yeah

#

anything 2029 and newer can go for 10

#

anything below 2029 go for 5$

#

stonks

#

oh wait

#

i cant sell mine

#

it doesnt have video output, so if they get that fixed then theyll have all my info

median swan
#

turns out my ps4 isnt working so im just selling the games controllers and parts for 90-100 usd

grim raptor
#

is it monster or not

obsidian temple
#

Nice

#

Do anyone know when 3070 will be in decent stock?

grim tide
weak field
#

#

@obsidian temple probably when the amd gpus come out

sullen spoke
#

until 11th gen intel KermitVader

drifting garnet
#

We'll see.

#

Possibly.

small osprey
#

@woven pumice yes that is one of the best

That isn’t stupidly overpriced cuz of rgb

drifting garnet

Ok I have to do work so I don't fail.

@woven pumice freezer ii is great

#

Best aio imo

#

Price performance looks gimmicks

@woven pumice we have already okayed your parts previously :) so have a bit of faith in us okay? :)

woven pumice

you are paying a lot for parts that you dont actually need.

grim raptor
#

#

i took this mobo for the ryzen 9 bro

woven pumice
#

@foggy hazel how do i check that

stoic island
#

@grim raptor those VRMs aren't needed for Ryzen 9

#

Those VRMs are for Ryzen 9 overclocking

grim raptor
#

vrm?

#

what is VRM?

stoic island
#

..

grim raptor
#

hehe

stoic island
#

Then why'd you pick that motherboard?

deep skiff
#

voltage regulator module for power

#

or something like that

grim raptor
#

i talk with some guys and told me get e better mobo fro your ryzen 9

foggy hazel

@woven pumice check the manufacturers page for the case model you have. It should tell you what size of radiators it supports
