Expensive one

stoic island
#

a lot

glass depot
#

I already bought the tomahawk idk y I’m asking

stoic island
#

anyways

sinful hornet
#

i dont know if i want to do that tho because everyone uses before tax prices for obvious reasons

earnest olive
#

plenty of b450 boards have wifi but don't let that be a primary factor in choosing your board

stoic island
#

@weary portal what's it for?

earnest olive
#

you can add wifi support to any board

glass depot
#

Anyone know any good wifi adapters for cheap

little osprey
#

Ethernet is faster anyways

glass depot
#

😔

stoic island
#

for cheap? not good ones

#

for 30$ there's a good one

weary portal
#

for gaming and school.

glass depot
#

My room is on the third floor

#

I meant in like the $50-70 range

fossil halo
#

LOL

#

dude

#

just get one of those usb adapters

#

10$ on amazon

glass depot
#

Bruh HECK NO

earnest olive
#

$15

fossil halo
#

or a slightly pricy fix but everyone in ur house can use etehrnet

glass depot
#

15???????

fossil halo
#

check out wifi over power or smth

#

its good

earnest olive
#

supports up to 433mbps and pretty reliable from my testing

fossil halo
#

u can get an ethernet conneciton anywhere in the hosue

#

hosue*

earnest olive
#

a pcie card will be better if you can afford it though

fossil halo
#

house*

sinful hornet
#

what no lmao

stoic island
glass depot
#

Ok

sinful hornet
#

also, the only issue ive ever encountered with those usb wifi sticks is drivers

earnest olive
#

the one i linked i've used like 9 times already

weary portal
#

@stoic island thank you man

earnest olive
#

some of the customers were competitive gamers and they had no complaints

glass depot
#

Ok thanx

earnest olive
#

i downloaded warzone on it for a customer over 5G and it was reasonably fast and didn't drop

#

and that's like 185 GB

glass depot
#

It’ll probably only be my wifis fault if it’s slow

earnest olive
#

it supports 433mbps over 5G which is faster than most peoples' home networks

#

i only get 340mbps

glass depot
#

If I send my build here does anyone wanna c

#

Well not built yet

tame hazel
#

best monitor for 4K and freesync 2?

earnest olive
#

part lists go here, build pics go in build pics

stoic island
#

@weary portal why not B550 with Ryzen 3000?

glass depot
weary portal
#

how much is it

stoic island
#

look at the list I sent earlier

weary portal
#

ok

stoic island
#

B450 doesn't make sense nowadays imo, I'd spend that bit more for PCIe 4.0 and guaranteed Zen 3 support

stoic island
#

why not

weary portal
#

so its perfeclty fine to put a smaller mobo in a bigger case right?

earnest olive
#

yes, worst case it looks bad

weary portal
#

god i hope not

glass depot
#

LOL

weary portal
#

overthinking that it will look bad so any mobo that fit atx mid, have wifi, and not terribly expensive?

stoic island
#

...

#

looks don't matter >:P

weary portal
#

idk i looked up micro atx in a big case and i SeriousEgg

stoic island
#

get a b550 board

#

and put something like that on

weary portal
#

wait ok this might be dumb but lets say i buy a mobo with wifi. do i need to buy anything else for it?

stoic island
#

no

#

it'll come with antennas

weary portal
#

im searching it up and it isnt popping up so i dont think it is compatible.

stoic island
#

?

#

oh yea

#

@weary portal don't get a 2nd gen CPU

#

why not get 3rd gen

weary portal
#

im a noob i didnt know that lol

#

how many gens are there

stoic island
#

1600 - Zen - 1st gen
2600 - Zen+ - 2nd gen
3600 - Zen 2 - 3rd gen
5600x - Zen 3 - 4th/5th gen (weird naming)

weak field
#

😯

weary portal
#

so your saying 3rd gen..... and its a lil over my budget from the looks of it seeing that they are low 200s

stoic island
#

Look in my old list

#

The list I sent you had a 3600xt and a 2060

weary portal
#

ok nvm it still put me under 1k so im alright

stoic island
#

Should be around somewhere

#

might want to keep an eye on b stock

polar python
#

which one should i get?

stoic island
#

Fuma 2 slightly over Ninja 5 over Mugen 5 rev b

#

take the big shuriken out of the picture

polar python
#

fuma 2 it is

terse pebble
#

Should I go with 4 sticks of 3600cl18 (2x 32gb) rams or 4 sticks of 3200cl16 (2x 32gb) rams?

weak field
#

there about equal

#

cl18 3600mhz=c16 3200mhz

weary portal
#

how risky is it to buy from ebay? if i get scammed will i be ok since they claim get the item you ordered or get your money back right?

weak field
#

depends on who you buy from

little osprey
#

Installed the msi mpg x570. All software/firmware are installed and updated

weak field
#

niiiiiiiiicee

#

what kind of screwdriver did you need

little osprey
#

Pjilips

#

*philips

#

#2

cloud oasis
#

Should i buy a screwdriver kit

little osprey
#

Nah

#

Use a fork

#

Don't use a fork in all seriousness

cloud oasis
#

ok

#

nvm

little osprey
#

All you need is a #2 philips screwdriver and a mini philips

#

Maybe a flathead

weak field
#

ok

polar python
#

do u think 11th gen will be better than zen3

little osprey
#

No

#

Ryzen all the way

polar python
#

shill

#

lol

little osprey
#

Especially if you're talking price to performance

cursive magnet
#

Suggestions on custom PSU cables??

ornate solstice
#

Should I buy a gaming laptop or build a gaming pc

whole harbor
#

@ornate solstice build

#

@ornate solstice whats ur budget

ornate solstice
#

$800

whole harbor
#

Ok bet

#

have a good day!

#

@ornate solstice

ornate solstice
#

Quick question why did you choose a 2060 and not like 5600xt

whole harbor
#

2060 is better

ornate solstice
#

Ok

whole harbor
#

And this is @stoic island

ornate solstice
#

Thank you

whole harbor
#

Hes a god

#

When it comes to pcs

#

u could say

#

I personaly

#

Would tweak it

#

but its good either way

ornate solstice
#

Can you tweak it for me?

whole harbor
#

depends

#

what games are u playing?

#

@ornate solstice

ornate solstice
#

Umm hmm

#

Gta must and cod for sure

whole harbor
#

Ehh

#

Its fine

#

have fun

ornate solstice
#

Ok thank you

versed maple
fossil halo
#

i think in that build u could make the 1tb ssd to a 512 gb and get a 2600

#

then get a hard drive or 2.5" ssd kater

#

for mr111's 800$ build

#

lemme see this oe

#

but

#

the mobo is unnecessarily expensive i think u can get a lot better than that for same price

#

and yea

versed maple
#

like what

fossil halo
#

x570

#

a high end x570

wild heath
fossil halo
#

yes

#

that is a very good motherboard

#

imo

#

has wifi too

cloud oasis
#

Free 2.3k build

wild heath
#

what is a similar amd cpu then the one i want

#

it seems to be oos everywehre

cloud oasis
#

If you wanna spend 10$ more on the mobo

#

you can get a asus rog b550-f

wild heath
#

and what do u prefer for motherboard msi or asus?

cloud oasis
#

msi is nono

#

bad bios

#

Asus

#

to some people its not bad but imo its bad

wild heath
#

okay and do u see the warning it shows?

#

do u think that will be a problem

cloud oasis
#

Yea

#

no it wont

#

You can contact amd and they send you a boot kit

#

Or you can go to a store (pref microcenter) and ask them to update bios for you

wild heath
#

okay so its very unlikely that i will actually have a problem

cloud oasis
#

I dont think so

wild heath
#

okay and 1 more question, what is something a little better than "AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor" because the after market is around 400-450 for it

karmic bobcat
#

Most B550s have bios updates built into the io

#

The Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X, and or Ryzen 9 5950X

#

All of which are going to be marked up

#

Now the Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 3700X are still good CPUs imo

#

So either or I’d use till you feel the need to upgrade

#

And it allows you to update your bios

wild heath
#

okay, and do u think its possible to get the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor for retail before black friday?

cloud oasis
#

yes

#

Amd has plenty in stock either way

wild heath
#

okay so my build should be good!?

cursive haven
#

whats a good intel board under 150

sharp tundra
#

I just watched BitWits WWP and TUF PC give away, and I kinda teared up a bit, ngl

terse pebble
#

This is my "final" build that I will be building.

  • Ryzen 9 5900X
  • Asus Rog Strix RTX 3080 Gaming OC
  • MSI MAG x570 Tomahawk WiFi
  • Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 AIO
  • Corsair MP600 PCIE Gen 4 M.2 2TB
  • G.skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600mhz CL18 64GB (2x32GB)
  • Cooler Master v1200 platinum PSU
  • Phanteks p500a case

What do you guys think? Should I change something?

sharp tundra
#

Why tf are you getting 2x32gb ram?

#

Also what is this pc being used for

#

@terse pebble

terse pebble
#

Video editing, Photoshop, illustrator

sharp tundra
#

Okay, what's the budget

ripe wedge
#

it might be better to do 4x16gb

#

you could prolly get lower CL ram also for editing

#

cuz doesnt cl help editing a lot?

#

pretty sure lower cl for editing is better

sharp tundra
#

Lower cl is better in general

#

But you start to sacrifice speed for it

ripe wedge
#

well not unless he goes 4x16

#

gskill makes 3600C16 neo

sharp tundra
#

Which you can typically make up by OC, but then you need to compensate for that too

ripe wedge
#

2x16gb kits

#

Hello

terse pebble
#

Don't have specific budget in mind. If I can cut some cost, of cos would be better. Price to performance, I guess?

ripe wedge
#

let me look up that psu tho

#

should be fine but let me see if its on the tier list'

sharp tundra
#

Don't have specific budget in mind. If I can cut some cost, of cos would be better. Price to performance, I guess?
@terse pebble just give me a number

#

Whats the max you're willing to spend on a machine?

ripe wedge
#

whats the name of the Coolermaster 1200W psu

sharp tundra
#

Is it not that?

#

Lol

ripe wedge
#

no

sharp tundra
#

Idk then

#

Go on pcpp and filter it

ripe wedge
#

oh I see

#

v1200

terse pebble
#

@sharp tundra probably 2k-2.5k?

ripe wedge
#

thought he meant 1200w

#

its not on the tier list....

#

should be fine tho

sharp tundra
#

As in 80+

ripe wedge
sharp tundra
#

Thats no bueno if it isn't 80+

terse pebble
#

Tier list? But is cooler master platinum. 80+ platinum

sharp tundra
#

I'll throw you a pc together @terse pebble

terse pebble
#

Oh okay. Thanks

sharp tundra
#

Do you need peripherals?

terse pebble
#

Nope

sharp tundra
#

And OS?

terse pebble
#

OS, l think I will transfer the digital license from my current system.

sharp tundra
#

Okay, be sure to link it with your Microsoft account so you can keep your key

left shore
#

Am I a fool for buying a 30 dollar 8 pin RGB extension? Probably

sharp tundra
#

@terse pebble also, do you care for Rgb?

terse pebble
#

Not really

sharp tundra
#

Okay, that'll make cost easier

left shore
#

I should get a modular PSU

sharp tundra
#

@terse pebble do you plan for major expansion for a while?

terse pebble
#

i am thinking of getting 2x 32gb rams first, then later get another 2x 32gb rams to make it 128gb. so this would be my "expansion", i think

sharp tundra
#

Oh...

#

I was gonna do a sfx build for you, but I can't now

#

Unless there is 2×64gb ram

terse pebble
#

oh I forgot to mention the case I'm getting. Phanteks p500a

sharp tundra
#

I may have a better option for you

#

Yeah, the sfx build i was gonna do for you won't work, the only 64gb ram is slow as balls and isn't meant for standard stuff

terse pebble
#

budget can go above 2.5k. so yah...

#

not sure if getting 2 sets of 3600mhz cl16 2x16gb would be ideal if having 128gb, in the future , would be overkill for what i'm going to do

uneven mist
#

Alright im doing one last check before i order parts is this all compatible ?

#

AMD Zen 3 Ryzen B550 Gigabyte Bundle $702 (PLE)

im australian so u probs wont know the stores

#

but the bundle is a R5 5600x and b550 aorus pro ac am4 atx mbd

#

and i have a gpu already...

rough loom
#

yea, should all work fine

uneven mist
#

cheers

sharp tundra
#

@terse pebble So here is the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8H989N
I'm having issues fitting it under budget but your ram and ssd are making it go over by quite a bit.

I can drop the NVMe M.2 to 1TB and put a 2TB HDD, and that'll bring cost down, and I could also do a 4×16GB kit of RAM and that would also bring the cost down.

I made the list based off what you had before, except I changed the CPU to a R9 3900X, slightly lower boost clock, but the cooler I added will allow you to OC a bit. Then again, the R9 3900x does come with a stock cooler that will do fine if you don't plan on OC, but I recommend a better cooler anyways so your system can sit comfortably.

#

Also, I think you could get away with a 2×16GB kit of ram for what you need, 64gb is plenty, and 128 is definitely overkill

#

I just seen message about going over budget, how much over are we talking?

#

Cause I can make a killer machine, I just need to know how much you can spend on it.

terse pebble
#

hmm okay. I am able to pre-order Ryzen 9 5900X and Asus rog strix rtx 3080 gaming oc. so this 2 kinda set. as for others, i think i will stick with the AIO. for mobo, initially I was deciding between x570 tomahawk wifi or unify but go with tomahawk wifi because cheaper.

sharp tundra
#

I wouldn't normally say this, but I wouldn't get an aio, a bunch of the techies here say that the noctua air coolers reign over AIOs

#

Cause me, I prefer AIO too, cleaner, nicer, much harder to install but the asthetics are worth it

timid bronze
#

Quick question guys, im building a new pc and I already chose a 500 nvme, now i need a 1tb 2.5 ssd, i was thinking about the crucial mx500, im only going to install games on it what do you think?

sharp tundra
#

Go for it

#

But if your only using the nvme as a boot drive, you could comfortably get away with a 240-256gb nvme

#

And still have room to put your browser and most used apps on it

timid bronze
#

I prefer the 500gb ssd if i will ever need more space

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, you could put your most played games on there too

timid bronze
#

So the mx500 is a good choice?

sharp tundra
#

As long as its not MW

#

Mx500 sata ssd?

#

Or nvme?

timid bronze
#

Sata

#

2.5

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, that should be fine

timid bronze
#

Ok thank you

sharp tundra
#

Np

terse pebble
#

@sharp tundra the list I put earlier, that's about the budget I can go, I think. am thinking to use the m.2 gen 4 for OS and other softwares like adobe premiere, photoshop, etc and steam too. for other storage, i can still use that is in my current system.

sharp tundra
#

Okay, I don't think you need 2tb then, unless your putting a game library on it too.

terse pebble
#

would putting the game library improves the game performance?

sharp tundra
#

Loading/saving times yeah, if you play a lot of RPGs it will really help, but others, there is a difference, but not a crazy big one.

#

You'll be able to load and save faster is the main thing you get

#

Your gpu will take a lot of the work load for gaming, most likely not much for your work related stuff besides the video editing, and that also depends how extreme the editing is too.

#

But if you're spitting out 8k renders and stuff, a 3080 isn't gonna cut it

#

3090 is more work load orientated

#

Cause it has that higher clock speed and 24gb ram

terse pebble
#

1080p and/or 4k (in the future) is good enough for me.

As for PSU, is seasonic prime gx 1000 80+ gold good enough instead of platinum 1000?

left shore
#

I just bought a 21 dollar PSU extension cable

#

Rip

little osprey
little osprey
#

b550 aorus elite with trident z 3600mhz ram

#

buy 6 more fans if ur buying an 011

#

otherwise don't buy it

#

Ok thanks. And i will buy the fans

#

i think i had an aneurysm and didnt type the orus elite

#

Is it overall a good build or i should change smth ?

#

Its gona be my first pc that is actualy good and can run games... my Curent pc runs csgo on max 20 fps

jagged ember
#

i would not get a liquid cooler or 2 samsung drives

#

stock cooler should do you just fine

#

for SSDs get either mp34 or SN750

#

whichever one is cheaper

ripe wedge
#

I would try to go for a pcie gen 4 for boot

#

and the other one can be like a sn750

#

there is a SN850 coming

#

pcie gen 4

#

or you could go samsung 980

little osprey
#

Why do many people douwnloud windows on one ssd and games and stuff on other one.?

ripe wedge
#

I mean usually runs a bit better

#

but still games can be on the boot drive (aka OS drive)

little osprey
#

Ok

ripe wedge
#

it probably isnt extremely noticeable either

#

being on boot rather than another

little osprey
#

What cheaper ssds that are fast i should get?

ripe wedge
#

I mean what you have is fine but cheaper id say like he said earlier SN750 or MP34

little osprey
#

Ok thanks

ripe wedge
#

but you will have pcie gen 4 so you may want to take a look at that because pcie gen 4 speeds are way faster

#

at least for the boot drive

#

7000MB read 5300 write

#

it is more expensive but it is something to think about

#

oops 500gb model only has up to 4100 write

little osprey
#

Ok

#

@jagged ember 145 is good price for samsung

#

@ripe wedge did you mean an sn750 for the boot or 1tb

ripe wedge
#

sn850 for boot

little osprey
#

ah ok

ripe wedge
#

I mean any way would be good

little osprey
#

because that samsung is like same price as the sn7/850 but has double lifespan

#

right now anyways

#

How much space would Windows douwnloud take?

ripe wedge
#

not too much

#

like 20gb I think

#

or 30

little osprey
ripe wedge
#

heres what my windows folder size is

little osprey
#

ya i would just say get rid of the 500gb and put boot on the 1tb then get a 2tb hard drive because 1TB is more than enough for games that you want to load fast

#

unless ur downloading every single version of cod since 2003

ripe wedge
#

2tb cost way more lol

little osprey
#

I only play one of the cods so i should have enough storage

#

uh

2tb cost way more lol

ripe wedge
#

o I thought u said 2tb ssd

#

im tired

little osprey
#

i am too

#

trying to get 3080

ripe wedge
#

im sleep

little osprey
#

Arent hd slower?

ripe wedge
#

yeah

#

but cheaper

little osprey
#

Ok

#

But what mobo should i get with that build

#

its the fact ur getting a 1TB ssd

ripe wedge
#

2 ssds is what id do

little osprey
#

and i doubt you will completely fill it

#

having a hard drive is good for backups

ripe wedge
#

ive filled almost 2 1tb ssds

little osprey
#

because u no uninstall stuff

#

The 500gb is for windows and 1tb is for games and i dont play a lot games

#

u r expensive andy

ripe wedge
#

because i hvae lot game

little osprey
#

yeah because u r expensive andy

ripe wedge
#

ah then that should be good

little osprey
#

The 500gb is for windows and 1tb is for games and i dont play a lot games
@little osprey windows is 20 gb

#

Ik, i cant find anything lower than that

jagged ember
#

oh, dope

ripe wedge
#

u will prolly have about 450gb leftover room on the main ssd after software n stuff installs

little osprey
#

im saying get rid of the 500gb ssd and just put windows on the 1tb

olive hollow
#

I have 500ssd with 2 3tb hds, ones for all our movies we have and the other is for games and random stuff

little osprey
#

Ok

jagged ember
#

HDD is better cost for the amount of storage, but ofc it's slower

little osprey
#

what motherboard

jagged ember
#

there's no mobo in the build you sent

ripe wedge
#

a b550 mobo like the b550 elite or something should be enough

jagged ember
#

the most recent one

little osprey
#

Ik im asking what motherboard

jagged ember
#

but yeah, a b550 is good

little osprey
#

wot is that psu

jagged ember
#

are you deciding to stick to an AIO cooler?

little osprey
#

what was ur budget @little osprey

ripe wedge
#

that psu is A tier low priority

#

id bump up to a rmx650 from corsair

little osprey
#

nah a 850

#

its a 3070 with a 5600

jagged ember
#

yeah, i'd bump up that PSU as well

ripe wedge
#

ah true

little osprey
#

@jagged ember yes

ripe wedge
#

minimum 750W

#

better 850W

jagged ember
#

i doubt that any b550 boards won't be compatible with 5000 series out the box

ripe wedge
#

rmx850 is a good psu

#

its what I use

little osprey
#

i doubt that any b550 boards won't be compatible with 5000 series out the box
@jagged ember wot

ripe wedge
#

they will work

little osprey
#

oh i read it wrong

ripe wedge
#

but will have bios update later for perf increase

jagged ember
#

they were made to support them, no?

little osprey
#

they were made to support them, no?
@jagged ember i read it wrong

jagged ember
#

lmao got it

ripe wedge
#

there is no b650 mobo chipset so they woulda had the updates out already

little osprey
#

@little osprey do u really want the cooler or no because ur literally paying 180$ for an LED screen

ripe wedge
#

thats not led

jagged ember
#

yeah, i was wondering that too

ripe wedge
#

thats a mirror

#

the led screen one is the Z73

jagged ember
#

AIO doesn't give actual performance boost over air cooling

ripe wedge
#

x73 has infinity screen

little osprey
#

its an 011d bro

#

if u aircool in that ur cringe

ripe wedge
#

5600x comes with a stock cooler

little osprey
#

Yeah i want it... its probably a waste but still

jagged ember
#

ohh, right

little osprey
#

and AIO does when its 360mm

#

by far

ripe wedge
#

x73 cooler does look cool tho

#

its the one I wanted before the Z73 came out

jagged ember
#

i forgot what case it was lol

little osprey
#

Whats the differenc between z73 and x73?

ripe wedge
#

z73 has screen also double the price of x73

little osprey
#

can i put 3 extra fans since the ones that come with cooler r cringe and dont come with rgb = fps fans

#

olis

#

its like 100$ a pack of 3 lol

jagged ember
#

only rgb fans for life

ripe wedge

ripe wedge
#

so we are already near the top

jagged ember
#

mmm

little osprey
#

I can go over it like 200$

#

ok r u very sure u want the case because for 1600 u can't really get all 9 fans if ur trying to make it look like the popular o11d builds

ripe wedge
#

ah ok buffer of $200 but 1600 recommended

#

I mean he can get cheaper coolermaster rgb fans

#

they work good

little osprey
#

Yeah ill get the rgb fans

jagged ember
#

lol true

ripe wedge
#

doesnt have to be expensive corsair fans

#

3 fans for $60 coolermaster

little osprey
#

yeah but corsair look cool with rgb go weeeeeeeeeeeeee

jagged ember
#

cooler master fans look good too

ripe wedge
#

I have the MF120Rs

little osprey
#

do they have software

ripe wedge
#

I think

#

I just use RGBFusion 2.0 to control them

little osprey
ripe wedge
#

they dont pop up as a part in the app tho

#

they just change color

little osprey
#

oof good luck for 3070
@jagged ember ill order every part 1 by 1 and shiping to my country takes like 2-4 weeks from almost everywhere so probably when i get to ordering the 3070 its gona be out a lot, idk

When you turn it on the fans stay spinning at a higher rpm which you can tell by the noise, it doesn’t get quieter. Dunno if that’s normal with only a cpu fan, and 2 case fans since my build has more fans. But when it turns on it doesn’t display anything on the monitor, it doesn’t show it booting up nor does it show windows. We know the gpu is busted since only one of its fans spins and it spins at a snails pace. But we swapped out the gpu for one that we know works and it didn’t change a thing. I went through and reset the cmos via the motherboard and it still didn’t do anything. Could it be the power supply not giving enough (the power supply is a 850 bronze) or could it be something with the motherboard or cpu? Or could it just be a really simple problem we over looked.

#

Any help would be appreciated if not then that’s fine we are just gonna start swapping out part for part to see what the actual reason is

little osprey
#

the fan curve in bios

olive hollow
#

Any way to fix it since we can’t enter bios cause it doesn’t want to boot up?

little osprey
#

how many sticks of ram

#

wait no im dumb

#

uh

#

idk

olive hollow
#

Uhh I can say his specs if that makes a difference

#

He has AMD fx8320, 2 sticks of ram but I can’t find out how much they are so imma say 16 in total, 1tb hd, used to have a xfx r9 380p but currently has a GeForce gts 250, and a asrock 970a-g/3.1 and a 850BQ bronze power supply

jagged ember
#

i've not heard of any of those parts other than that one PSU

#

i'm not that old i guess lol

@olive hollow I would unplug and reconnect the cpu 8 pin, if the psu is modular, reconnect the connections at the psu as well. Also check the simple stuff like that the monitor is on and that it is plugged into the gpu and not the mobo.

Hello there looking for a little nudge in correct direction. So im about to upgrade from 9th gen 9400f to 9700. I have RTX 2060 gpu. Not interested in Overclocking cpu at this time. so should i get the 9700, and connect 2nd display thru MoBo? or 9700f and both thru GPU? 2nd display is for discord, twotch, etc.

#

Both through gpu

Good morning

So what's the deal with Ryzen and Memory, I'm seeing 4x 8GB seems to be better for all scenarios regardless of everything else

#

With around 3600-3800 CL14/16 to be the best

little osprey
weak field
#

could change the storage to a mp34 from teamgroup

#

its faster

#

and nzxt cases have awkward airflow so if you wanna change that id suggest bur if you like the way it looks then go for it

#

but otherwise i really recommend that motherboard

arctic jungle
#

So what's the deal with Ryzen and Memory, I'm seeing 4x 8GB seems to be better for all scenarios regardless of everything else
@sick lichen ok so there's something called real world latency

#

You can calculate it by comparing the mhz to cas latency

little osprey
#

could change the storage to a mp34 from teamgroup
@weak field How much more is it

arctic jungle
#

I'll show you a chart

weak field
#

94

#

to

#

104.99

#

i think

little osprey
#

whats dat

arctic jungle
#

So you can compare the mhz to cas latency here

#

The lower, the better

weak field
#

105.99

arctic jungle
#

10 is a good standard for gaming

weak field
#

so 10$ more for more speed

little osprey
#

would I notice a difference in fortnite or nah?

weak field
#

not really

arctic jungle
#

When directstorage comes out, yes

weak field
#

if its a different game that needs to load often then yes

arctic jungle
#

In about 9-12 months you will

#

Nooo

#

You'll get like

#

40 percent more frames

little osprey
#

so I should keep that one I guess

arctic jungle
#

In a year or so

#

Grab an mp34

little osprey
#

ok

#

anything else?

weak field
#

like i said before

#

nzxt cases have awkward airflow

#

i thought it was awkard

#

oh well

#

so id prolly snatch something different but its up to you

#

or you could add some fans to it

#

lotta rpm tho

little osprey
#

yah

#

I am adding some fans

weak field
#

ok then you should be fine

little osprey
#

how many fans can I add on the top

#

I forgot 💀

weak field
#

lemme check

little osprey
#

ok so I can add 2 on the top

#

it comes with 2 fans in the front right?

#

I am confused now lmao

weak field
#

im kind of retarted

little osprey
#

should I change cooler or that cooler fine?

weak field
#

the 5000 series doesnt include coolers

#

except for the 5600x

#

and that ones fine

little osprey
#

the 5000 series doesnt include coolers
@weak field ik

weak field
#

just check the dimensions of the esports one

little osprey
#

this?

weak field
#

yeah

little osprey
#

aight

weak field
#

your good

little osprey
#

so how many fans can I add in the back of the case

weak field
#

1 at the back for exhaust

#

3 at the front

#

and i think theres a 360mm mount at the top

little osprey
#

so in the top I could add like 3?

#

hmm

#

oof I am confused now XD

haughty swan
weak field
#

there pretty much the same

#

i cant see the cas latency for some reason

slender owl
#

Both cas 18

little osprey
#

I just had to buy a new pcie wifi adapter 😭😭

haughty swan
#

So I should just go with the cheaper then?

stoic island
#

I'd get neither and get 3600c16

haughty swan
#

thx

weak field
#

you can put a 2600 in it if you lower the storage

stoic island
#

what

#

why

brave holly
#

guys i have a question

#

pls dont roast me

stoic island
#

The list is gaming focused @weak field

brave holly
#

im a noob

#

anyway

#

i just got a miniatx case

#

will my normal psu fit in it?

check the case

What about that

Yes

@violet harness I REALLY would swap that storage

@grim tide i would say no

I think considering how expensive laptops are, it's an okay price

grim tide
#

1.10 ghz

violet harness

Is trash

Can I test a mobo just by connecting the 24 pin and the front io for my case to see if it powers or would that harm it

balmy patio
#

you can shorten out some pins to turn it on, i forgot which ones

#

but no it shouldn't damage it, i don't see a reason why

iron berry
#

I know that but I have the case so I can just put the io in anyway and not short it

#

Gonna wait before trying it just to see if someone warns me not to of if I get more green lights.

@little osprey nope

#

speed is bad and less storage

#

yours is good

weak field
#

@forest mural builds pretty decent

#

could use tweaking

forest mural
#

what could be tweaked

weak field
#

actually nothing

#

my bad

#

could find cheaper alternatives like a bstock from evga 2060s

stoic island
#

@forest mural try 3600c16 ram

#

970evo is overpriced as expected, something like a sn750 at ~75cad works

@cursive magnet Canada

Sn750 was cheaper than mp34 in Canada last I checked

urban trellis
#

Can someone pls make me a build I have a budget of 1.6k

#

Using it for gaming

stoic island
#

sure

urban trellis
#

Thx

stoic island
#

@urban trellis including monitor+keeb+headset+mouse?

urban trellis
#

No without

#

Gonna buy on Christmas sales cuz then half price

stoic island
#

lol ok

#

that's not how pricing works but

#

I'll make the list

urban trellis
#

Ok

#

It's usally 50 to 80% off on Christmas

stoic island
#

uhhhh

urban trellis
#

Ok

stoic island
#

no?

#

@urban trellis where do you get 50% off everything on Christmas?

urban trellis
#

No the average Christmas sales are 50 to 80% off

stoic island
#

...

#

not for PC parts

urban trellis
#

Oh ok lol

stoic island
urban trellis
#

Lol that pc is a bit overkill

stoic island
#

overkill is best

#

:P

urban trellis
#

Lol

#

That pc is in usd

#

I needee cad but it's ok

stoic island
#

should specify currency smh

urban trellis
#

It's ok

#

Thx tho

#

I was gonna go for 3600 and 1660 super

#

3600x isn't much better that 3600

stoic island
#

smh..

#

1600cad and only a 1660 super

#

that's not great

urban trellis
#

Yea ik but I was going for RGB ram and a motherboard with PCIE gen 4 and B550 for upgrading in the future

iron berry
#

How much ram

urban trellis
#

16 gb 3200 mhz

#

I meant 1.6 with monitor

iron berry
#

That's like 10 to 20 usd more for rbg

stoic island
#

3600+3070

#

3600c16 ram

urban trellis
#

Thx

#

But I don't think they will have 3070s by Christmas lol

stoic island
#

you should

#

if not, worst case, get a 2070 super

urban trellis
#

Ok

fringe hatch
urban trellis
#

Imma have to check if the motherboard has aura sync cuz I need it for the RGB case fans I have

fringe hatch
#

I woulda got a 3700X had the 10700k not been $300

urban trellis
#

It's good

#

What gpu do u have

fringe hatch
#

2080 super

#

I currently have a 6700k and a Z170 board

#

650W psu

urban trellis
#

@stoic island thx for build tho

#

Ok

#

It's a soild build

fringe hatch
#

and if it was in stock I woulda got the 5600X but

#

it's not

#

and yeah I think so

stoic island
#

:)

fringe hatch
#

I mean I've had tons of experience so I'm sure it is pretty solid for the price. just wanna know what you guys think lmao

urban trellis
#

Oh lol

#

It's nice

fringe hatch
#

only thing I need now for RGB is them sexy lian li strimer plus and some RGB fans

#

not sure about the fans yet

#

idk which ones I wanna get, whether I wanna go rgb overkill and get corsair LLs or GLs or whatever they are now

#

since I have an H710, I can fit 7 fans so I need 2 fan hubs anyway

median swan
fringe hatch
#

awesome bro! what's the rest of your build look like?

median swan
#

waitin for the parts : )

#

i had to get the other stuff on amazon

#

since it wasnt avaliable on newegg unfrtounately

fringe hatch
#

well yeah, but like what are the specs 😂 sorry

median swan
#

ohhhhh

#

lemme get a pic

fringe hatch
#

and yeah I gotcha, I know what you mean lmao

#

bought 1 thing from amazon, got my CPU off of a buddy on ebay. and 2 things from best buy

#

stock is wack rn

fringe hatch
#

not bad bro! first build?

median swan
#

yeah man

#

im so excited

stoic island
#

hmmm

#

1050ti choice kinda sus

#

the rest is fine

fringe hatch
#

you might've been able to maybe gotten a better gpu but it's not too bad of a pairing with the 9600k

#

yeah

median swan
#

is there something wrong with the 1050? i just wanna know

fringe hatch
#

no

#

just, you coulda gotten something better for the money

#

what games are you looking to play?

median swan
#

games like squad, sea of thieves, rainbow six

#

stuff like that

stoic island
#

@median swan it's just bad value nowadays

#

for just a bit more, you get a 1650 super

#

~160usd last I checked

jaunty nacelle
#

you can get a used 1650 super for as much as a 1050 ti

median swan
#

would used work?

fringe hatch
#

oh yeah

median swan
#

ive heard from ppl not to get used pc parts

fringe hatch
#

it only matters for something like a hard drive or something that was mined on

vital warren
#

used gpu is generally fine

#

i trust it

fringe hatch
#

silicone degredation exists but as long as there's no moving parts it should work almost brand new

median swan
#

well i guess im in luck since thats the only part i havent orderd!

#

should i change it then?

jaunty nacelle
#

definitely

median swan
#

could u give me some suggestions

#

at the same price

violet harness
#

Hate to break it to you

#

You can get a windows 10 key on eBay for like 2$

median swan
#

really?

violet harness
#

Yup

median swan
#

i didnt even buy the windows 10 though

#

my mom has a friend at work

#

who gave it for free

violet harness
#

Ok good

#

What parts have you ordered

fringe hatch
#

so hear me out about the stock amd coolers

#

they're not the best

#

but they got some kick ass rgb

violet harness
#

And better than intel

fringe hatch
#

well yeah

violet harness
#

Stock coolers

#

I still use stock cooler

Looks fake but it isn’t

median swan
#

it says 5 sec delivery?

#

Make sure it’s 64 bit though

stoic island
#

the more sus the better

#

:D

fringe hatch
#

lmao

#

hey man

#

get it or your money back

violet harness
#

Yeah lol it comes in your email

median swan
#

wait im confused

#

is windows 10 a part in the pc or am i stupid

#

do i just activate it when i start it up

violet harness
#

No lol

idle compass
violet harness
#

Just watch a video on how to set up windows 10 intel

fossil halo
#

U have to pay

violet harness
#

Since u have a intel build

fossil halo
#

100$ for windows

median swan
#

is it a disc

violet harness
#

No you don’t

fringe hatch
#

you can pay like $2 for windows

fossil halo
#

Thats illegal tho

violet harness
#

Lmao @fossil halo ur completely wrong

#

No it isn’t lmao

#

U don’t know what ur talking about

median swan
#

cause ima go for it i think

violet harness
#

Yes

idle compass
#

look at the reviews

fringe hatch
#

@fossil halo is it tho?

idle compass
#

and how much was sold

fringe hatch
#

I mean it's still a key

median swan
#

when i click on it it says the page is missing @violet harness

#

did they take it down

violet harness
#

It literally says 144 sold right there

jaunty nacelle
#

if it works it works lol

#

youre gonna need a usb with windows 10 on it though

violet harness
#

when i click on it it says the page is missing @violet harness
@median swan eBay doesn’t like people selling nice things for cheap so eBay probably took it down

#

So if you can’t find one on eBay, second cheapest option is urcdkeys.com

median swan
#

oh ok

#

how can i tell if its 64 bit on urcd

#

cause it doesnt say

stoic island
#

I don't think it matters

#

win10 key is win10 key

#

I don't think theres 32bit or 64bit editions

median swan
stoic island
#

the key should work with both 32 and 64bit

#

20usd for a key is uhhhhh

#

steep to say the least

median swan
#

wdym by that

stoic island
#

I got my win10 pro keys on ebay for 4$

median swan
#

problem is ebay took all of em down

#

because they r losin money
