For gaming

9400f vs 3100

Unless

[foggy hazel]

depends on budget and availabliity

[whole harbor]

I can get a

3600

$700 on pc

$200 for periphals

[foggy hazel]

you are waiting for sales, meaning, it all depends on the sales

meaning, there is no point in pointing you in any particular direction right now

[whole harbor]

ok

[grim pagoda]

What does Zen-Oh mean

[foggy hazel]

in what context @grim pagoda ?

[grim pagoda]

Someone said Zen-Oh is the best

[foggy hazel]

that seems like a semi-typo

[grim pagoda]

@foggy hazel Also my motherboard only has 2 fan headers so I bought a pwn splitter, does this mean I can put my cpu cooler fan and the 4 other fans in my case now?

[foggy hazel]

aye

[grim pagoda]

But someone said this about the pwn splitter I bought and I don’t understand what it means

This is what I bought btw @foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

that should work

[grim pagoda]

But what about my cpu fan

[uncut pelican]

Good evening

[grim pagoda]

Dont I need to put that in a fan header @foggy hazel

[winged tinsel]

Just ordered first four parts for my first ever pc build:)))) I am so excited!!!

[grim pagoda]

@winged tinsel what’s your build

I just bought my first pc too

*to build

[weak field]

guys

[winged tinsel]

Ok I’ll show my parts list

[foggy hazel]

@grim pagoda your cpu cooler plugs directly into the board

and everything else plugs into that splitter

[mortal rampart]

anyone know why the r5 3500 $268??\

[foggy hazel]

because people are willing to pay that for it

[weak field]

3500 or 3600?

[winged tinsel]

I just bought my first four parts for my first ever pc build:)))) I’m so excited!!!! Here’s my list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/1234hihello/saved/CnBVwP

[fleet pagoda]

Is this a good 900$ pre build

[hasty gyro]

seems okay, but its almost always best to build your own

[balmy patio]

that actually looks pretty good at it’s price point for a pre build

[ripe wedge]

its not bad

the case looks good for airflow too with mesh

only questionable part of that pc would be the ssd and the power supply

[fleet pagoda]

I picked it out for my friend bc he doesnt know how to build one and he jsu wanted a pre build

[ripe wedge]

is that his budget?

$900?

[fleet pagoda]

Yeah

[ripe wedge]

I mean its pretty good for the price ig

[fleet pagoda]

I thought it was good for the price its 300$ off thank god if it wasnt that would he tough

[ripe wedge]

ah the psu is 600W gold

so its not terrible

[fleet pagoda]

Haha lol

What abt the ssd

[ripe wedge]

looking through reviews

[fleet pagoda]

Ok

[ripe wedge]

it seems like its dual channel so thats a bonus

for ram

[fleet pagoda]

Pog

[ripe wedge]

lots of DOA pcs in the reviews

but that can be resolved through newegg easily

[weak field]

heh heh

[fleet pagoda]

Whats doa

[ripe wedge]

or either some of these "DOA" are just people who dont know how to check certain things on the pc

dead on arrival

[fleet pagoda]

Oh ok

If it is like that do u send it back or do they walk u through something on the phone or sum

[ripe wedge]

eitherr or

[fleet pagoda]

Ok

[ripe wedge]

looks like its an m.2 ssd

from what I can gather from reviews

so thats good

I mean id go for it if he doesnt want to build himself

not too shabby

[fleet pagoda]

Alr alr

Ty

[knotty nacelle]

I just got my 3090. Can’t wait to play among us and Fortnite!

[winged tinsel]

Pog

[weak field]

woohoo

wait

3090 for among us

[winged tinsel]

Lmao

[knotty nacelle]

Yeah?

[balmy patio]

impossible

[knotty nacelle]

I wanted to hit 100 fps

[winged tinsel]

That is wayyyyy overkill for among us

[balmy patio]

no

it’s opposite overkill

[weak field]

need another

3090 ti sli super

xc ultra

oced

[winged tinsel]

The 3090 is overkill for among us yes

[weak field]

then maybe 60fps

if ur lucky

[balmy patio]

need to run sli with full liquid nitrogen cooling system

[weak field]

and have a threadripper

[balmy patio]

nah

two epyc 64 cores

[knotty nacelle]

I got the ryzen 9 5900x

[winged tinsel]

Does the r7 3700x come with a fan included?

[balmy patio]

yes

looks pretty good and does the job well

[knotty nacelle]

Is the 5900x enough to play games, watch YouTube and do some light streaming?

[weak field]

nah

stop stop im joking

[knotty nacelle]

Dang

Oh ok😅

I’m new to pc stuff

I mainly am going to use this pc for among us, fortnite, Minecraft and YouTube

[balmy patio]

dang

all that for that?

[knotty nacelle]

What you mean?

[balmy patio]

you could’ve saved tons of money, cuz you bought stuff you didn’t need

like the 5900x and 3090

but it’s your money and yours to spend

[knotty nacelle]

I’m getting over 100 FPS so I’m happy

I just wanted it to be playable ya know

[weak field]

um

[balmy patio]

you could’ve gotten that with a 3100 and 1660 as well

[knotty nacelle]

I might need to get a new monitor , mine is 75hz , I was thinking 1080p 144hz

[weak field]

or 1440p 240hz

[balmy patio]

yea

[knotty nacelle]

I can’t afford that

[balmy patio]

could’ve gotten a 5600x+3070 and a 1440p144hz

[knotty nacelle]

Yeah but I wouldn’t have gotten 100 FPS on among us

[vital warren]

😐

[balmy patio]

i don’t think that’s even possible

[knotty nacelle]

I might get the thread ripper

[balmy patio]

getting 100fps on sum mobile game is like no

[knotty nacelle]

You guys think I can get 100 FPS on fortnite high settings with the 3090?

[molten cedar]

$2,000 pc build ?

[knotty nacelle]

$3000

[weak field]

naaaah

[knotty nacelle]

This cost me 1500

[weak field]

3070

500

[knotty nacelle]

Ik lmaoooooooo

I was messing with y’all

I got a 3070 and 3700x for rust , streaming and cod. Not no 3090 for among us💀

[balmy patio]

smh

[whole forum]

[knotty nacelle]

I was originally gonna get a 24 inch but 27 inch is the spot

[jagged ember]

pixel density might not be optimal but I always like to see if i can find better

save this for now

[weak field]

that monitor is

overpriced as crap

[knotty nacelle]

Find me a better one that’s ips 144hz 27inch @weak field

And from a good brand

[weak field]

[balmy patio]

@granite barn i did a thing https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZHRjZZ

[balmy patio]

[balmy patio]

but it’ll do with a 3100 and 1650s

[jagged ember]

not a b450 anymore

what about the PSU tho

[balmy patio]

If I don’t find a 1440p one I will stick with that

[whole forum]

np

im getting the 144 hz on for 50 bucks less

one*

[jagged ember]

1080 at 27 inch though

[knotty nacelle]

I have been using product chart and the cheapest 1440p 144hz was a Samsung odyssey for 350

[jagged ember]

you'll definitely be able to see each pixel

[knotty nacelle]

you'll definitely be able to see each pixel
@jagged ember what you play on 50 inch or sum

[jagged ember]

lol i play on 27" 2k

ips 165hz for under 300USD

but it's that price at MSRP minus shipping

[knotty nacelle]

1080p not 1440p

[jagged ember]

2k resolution

[knotty nacelle]

Ayo Link?

[jagged ember]

sure, but it's from xiaomi

i know not everyone's comfortable with that

[knotty nacelle]

Yeah nvm lmao

I’m looking for LG, Acer, Asus, Samsung, Dell lmao

[jagged ember]

okay, fair enough

[whole forum]

fam my laptop is like 20 inches wide or som and youtube vids in 1080 p looks fine

it aint a small box

[polar python]

[mighty zenith]

Can I put a link in chat?

[polar python]

does anyone know if the 5600X and 3070 are restocking this month?

[jagged ember]

[mighty zenith]

okay, maybe it was too many links

[jagged ember]

does anyone know if the 5600X and 3070 are restocking this month?

thoughts on this build?

[jagged ember]

those are easier to get

[sudden matrix]

will be getting an AMD 6000 series gpu

instead of the 3080

also the case im getting is the Cougar MX410 not the one listed because it wasnt in pcpartpicker

[polar python]

can somebody link me a 3070 in CA

[balmy patio]

so would a cv be better than a ba @jagged ember

[jagged ember]

i think so?

[balmy patio]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JmMxHz

[jagged ember]

gotta check the psu list for that lol

[balmy patio]

so that?

[jagged ember]

i mean the seasonic S12III is fine though, no?

[still bay]

whats a good 240hz curved monitor

ig 1440p or 1080p dont matter

[jagged ember]

CV is better, i can confirm

[balmy patio]

ok good

@granite barn https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JmMxHz

[knotty nacelle]

Do monitor prices go down a lot on Black Friday?

thoughts peeps?

[stoic island]

hm

@sudden matrix why does that case come with a psu

[sudden matrix]

im not getting that case

it was just the same price as the one i was gonna get

[little osprey]

@sudden matrix why x570?

[sudden matrix]

im getting the Cougar mx410 mesh

[little osprey]

that's overkill

[sudden matrix]

what would you reccomend?

i want to be future proof

[little osprey]

also what are you using the pc for?

[sudden matrix]

gaming, autocad, streaming

[little osprey]

AM4 is a dead end platform

[stoic island]

tbh I wouldn't say it's too overkill

@little osprey well what isn't

[little osprey]

my point is why spend A$300 on a mobo on a dead end platform

[jagged ember]

uhh

5000 series still uses am4, right?

[elfin burrow]

it does

[stoic island]

meh, good board, can get 5950x

[jagged ember]

lol

it ain't dead for at least another generation

[shrewd peak]

can some one help me

[little osprey]

amd isn't releasing a new CPU for AM4

[sudden matrix]

yea 5000 series uses AM4

[elfin burrow]

personally i would not spend $300 on any mobo, whether it's "dead end platform" or not

[jagged ember]

if you think about it that way, might as well never buy a mobo

[stoic island]

B550 elite ax might be good

250aud

[jagged ember]

but the x570 is overkill yes

[stoic island]

but doesn't save much

[stuck notch]

aM4 iS a DeAd PlAtFoRm

[shrewd peak]

why did my parts drop from 1k to 700?

[jagged ember]

b550 is a much more sensible choice

[stoic island]

wait nvm 350 not 300 aud

oops

[little osprey]

and that PSU yikes

overpriced asf

[stoic island]

@sudden matrix yea I'd get a B550 elite ax

[jagged ember]

lol if you're gonna contribute

[little osprey]

I'll send u all the parts u should change in a sec

[jagged ember]

at least be nice about it

[stoic island]

250aud instead of 350aud

[sudden matrix]

a mobo with wifi though please

[stoic island]

Yes

Aorus elite ax

[jagged ember]

nice

[stoic island]

ax for 802.11ax

aka wifi 6

[sudden matrix]

a PSU recommendation would be awesome

[stoic island]

Lemme check pricing

[jagged ember]

does a network card + mobo cost more than a mobo with wifi?

[stoic island]

Revolution D.F. 850w

210aud isn't bad

[still roost]

Chess Club Man#9638 has been warned

[stoic island]

@little osprey pg4/ac removes a m.2 slot

[jagged ember]

ouch

[stoic island]

And I was gonna go on about getting 3600c16 ram

anyways

[little osprey]

3600c16 is not worth it

[stoic island]

Essential is a step down from whisper m/revolution d.f.

[little osprey]

so?

his PSU is overkill

[stoic island]

I'd get a better PSU for more overkill

[little osprey]

that PSU would be more than enough for his build

[stuck notch]

whats the gpu and cpu looking like

[stoic island]

dunno, if I'm spending 3000aud, I want a PSU that'll last me a decade

[stuck notch]

theres really no need for that

[little osprey]

that PSU would last a decade

[stoic island]

well anyways

[sudden matrix]

the whisper 850W is $169

[stuck notch]

most parts get more power efficient with time

[stoic island]

oh then keep it

[little osprey]

^^

[stuck notch]

when you upgrade at least

[stoic island]

if it's 170aud hell yea get whisper m

[sudden matrix]

the whisper 750W is 149

so for 20 bucks more

why not

[foggy hazel]

"most parts get more power efficient with time" <- except when we have generations like the current GPU one from nvidia that raises the power requirement. :)

[stoic island]

I kinda want to say 10900k

but Intel has been stepping on themselves

[jagged ember]

just wanted to point out the whisper is in low priority units

not sure if that's an issue

@stoic island cheers for the help

[jagged ember]

why not 2x8gb 3600cl16?

[stoic island]

:)

[iron berry]

So I'm still confused on why 2x16 I couldn't find a video on why that's better

[stoic island]

@jagged ember GN testing is still interesting

[iron berry]

I get dual rank

[signal pelican]

@shrewd peak you don't need a R7 to run a 2060 super

[stoic island]

waiting for more info&testing though

[signal pelican]

get an R5 and save some money

[shrewd peak]

so what should i change it to?

[little osprey]

@shrewd peak replace CPU with this

[little osprey]

3600 is $199

[signal pelican]

true tho

[stoic island]

where?

[granite barn]

should i just build with this or just sell

[little osprey]

@stoic island

?

[stoic island]

'out of stock'

[stuck notch]

@granite barn id sell and save up

@granite barn whats the cpu

[granite barn]

ryzen 3 1200

[stuck notch]

yeah no sell and save up

[granite barn]

okkkkkk

[stuck notch]

u want 1080p high refresh rate gaming right?

[granite barn]

yesssss

pro player settings on allg ames

[signal pelican]

def save up but you got the right idea to buy parts little by little

[stoic island]

@sudden matrix side note, 970evo 500gb is cheaper... somehow... Might want that

98aud

[sudden matrix]

@sudden matrix side note, 970evo 500gb is cheaper... somehow... Might want that
@stoic island i got the storage on a deal

[stoic island]

ah gotcha

[sudden matrix]

both the M.2 and HDD for

[signal pelican]

@shrewd peak do that as well buy your parts little by little and start with the cheapest first

[sudden matrix]

lemme check

$179

and redeemed a $40 steam gift card

[prisma stag]

I like to start with the case, cause once you have an empty case just sitting in your room it motivates you to spend all your money 😄

[signal pelican]

oh and @shrewd peak with that money you're saving on the CPU you can buy a better NVME drive such as a PCIe Gen 4 M.2

[stuck notch]

is the motherboard hes using support that

[stoic island]

oh fair

@signal pelican why do they need a gen 4 ssd?

[signal pelican]

if he gets the 570 it should

[stoic island]

B550 supports it in M.2_1

but why should they buy one?

no real gain for the normal person

[signal pelican]

@signal pelican why do they need a gen 4 ssd?
@stoic island why not?

[jagged ember]

why pay for that, though

[stuck notch]

sure ig

[jagged ember]

it doesn't make a noticeable difference to normal users

[stuck notch]

if hes not gonna take advantage of the extra speed why have it

[signal pelican]

true

[stoic island]

let's see

save money there for a better GPU

or a better PSU

maybe another case fan or two

275r airflow only comes with 2 stock afaik

[signal pelican]

RGB or no PC at all

[stoic island]

no pc at all tanks

:D

[jagged ember]

lol

[stuck notch]

i dont have rgb in my pc at all 😦

[stoic island]

I have rgb in my pc

[jagged ember]

i have several

[stoic island]

and I don't care for it

[vital warren]

rgb at a minimal amount is okay i don't like a lot

[stoic island]

jk I love my neos

:D

[stuck notch]

i like it i just didnt want to spend a bunch of extra money for it

[stoic island]

Just wouldn't suggest anyone spend extra for rgb

[polar python]

if the 5600x and 3070 sell out should i get a 10600k and 2060/2070

[signal pelican]

don't get me wrong RGB is great but I like lighting up my PC with a nice pastel colour

[stoic island]

no

you can't beat 3070

[polar python]

3070 is gonna sell out

[stoic island]

so what

[stuck notch]

chances are you wont get one tho

[stoic island]

wait for it >:D

patience

[polar python]

im tryna build my first pc :(

[signal pelican]

I'm going with the 2070 for now but once I know I can get a 3080 Imma snatch that

[polar python]

all the parts i need are either overpriced or out of stock

[vital warren]

buying expensive placeholders = waste

[polar python]

agreed

[signal pelican]

rip R9 5900X and 3080

[stuck notch]

just get a 1660/s and sell it once u get the card u want

if u can find one in stock

nvm

[signal pelican]

well I'm going to hand that other card off to my little brother

[polar python]

i think imma get a 3600 and 1660s/2060 until the 3070 and 5600x restock

sound good?

[stuck notch]

just find the cpu you want

[little leaf]

@polar python I wouldnt

I would wait

[vital warren]

it's not that long of a wait tbh

[little leaf]

Like a normal person

[vital warren]

save ya cash

[polar python]

i need a pc tho

[stuck notch]

i kinda got really lucky when i built my pc

[polar python]

[little leaf]

Im waiting

So shush

[stuck notch]

your gonna be waiting a loooong time

[polar python]

^

exactly

[stuck notch]

3080s wont be available til sometime next year

[stoic island]

you sure about that >:D

[stuck notch]

probably around march or something

[stoic island]

stock is rollin in

prob will take a while before it stays around

but they are coming in now

[vital warren]

march? u crazy

[stuck notch]

people are still scalping those cards

[vital warren]

it's not really hard to get a card if you pay attention

[stuck notch]

as long as the stock stays realatively low most people wont get that card at a reasonable card

[stoic island]

I've had quite a few chances to snag one already

[vital warren]

same but i just am broke lol

[stoic island]

I'm not actively watching, or even have a need for em

I just see oh hey

card in stock

[stuck notch]

how long does it stay in stock?

[stoic island]

around a minute usually, 10min max.

[stuck notch]

10 mins XD

[stoic island]

mhm

[vital warren]

well you can't expect it to be available everytime you check ya gotta stay on ur game

[stoic island]

more than enough time to see notification, click on link, and add to card, and check out.

[stuck notch]

I guess people are just slouches then

[polar python]

like 7 people told me the 3070 and 5600X are restocking this month :D

[stoic island]

Well, it's because people don't find places that notify you for stock

[little leaf]

If you cant get one your a slouch

[stoic island]

just staring at the Newegg page for 3080 and endlessly clicking refresh will get you nowhere

[jagged ember]

that's me

[stuck notch]

if you do it long enough youll get a card

[jagged ember]

does honey do in stock notifications?

[mighty zenith]

They should

Not sure

[jagged ember]

lol idk either

[mighty zenith]

GOOGLE

[jagged ember]

i know it has price history thanks to linus

[mighty zenith]

at least thats what coding Udemy classes tell me

My iMac sucks at running visual studio

dont ask why

[stuck notch]

why

[jagged ember]

it's a mac, that's why

[stuck notch]

if your gonna spend that much on a computer it better run visual studio

[jagged ember]

nope

[mighty zenith]

My buttcheeks hurt. I cannot handle Apple products no more

[astral swift]

i mean that's why they don't offer high end graphics on Macs

unless it's a Mac Pro

[jagged ember]

it's really just disappointing

they charge a premium for mediocre specs at best

[stuck notch]

i think they rely too much on the whole optimization thing

[astral swift]

i do understand them charging a premium

[jagged ember]

should we move to #general-chat ?

[astral swift]

their build quality is better than some 2000$ laptops

[mighty zenith]

Yeah, I mean I come from a first generation family from Poland. So I really never learned a thing about computers

oh yeah sorry

[stoic island]

well

it's still computer talk :P

[mighty zenith]

I love u

so now i have a 1 core 1 thread celeron in my closet on a shirt

[urban oyster]

I know of a single board that can fit that.

[weak field]

it came from a raw pcb board

[urban oyster]

I may build that then sell that build.

[sinful hornet]

i have like, 3 different pc's worth of components that i literally found on the side of the road

[urban oyster]

40 threads.

[sinful hornet]

[stuck notch]

thats pretty low

[balmy patio]

yeah that's what memory looks like without a fancy heat spreader

[stuck notch]

not really

[sinful hornet]

its usually taller

[stoic island]

@sinful hornet is that

I just going to stuff a board I know.

[weak field]

poor thing

[balmy patio]

smh

[urban oyster]

Then sell that.

[weak field]

yes with the cpu

9$

[urban oyster]

Kinda the plan.

[stuck notch]

who would want that

[weak field]

might put a ad on facebook for unused computers

just for parts

[sinful hornet]

These are all the side of the toad components

*road

[stuck notch]

150 max for everything

gonna be pretty hard to sell too

[sinful hornet]

i forget what the cpu's wwere

[weak field]

same psu and green pcie user in my old pc in shed

[sinful hornet]

nah, im just keeping them in a case as a foot rest rn lmao

[weak field]

left row bottom

[balmy patio]

jus sell them to sum guy who stocks up on tech stuff

thats your best chance

[urban oyster]

Yeah.

[stuck notch]

tell some uninformed customer that its current gen cutting edge hardware

[sinful hornet]

it was 2 of the same athalon II's

[mystic needle]

is there a big difference between the radeon rx 6800 xt and the regular 6800? like is it worth the extra 70 dollars?

[sinful hornet]

and some intel pentium

[urban oyster]

Lolll

Cutting edge

High grade tech right here.

[stuck notch]

frl

[weak field]

old thermalpaste on the pins

[stuck notch]

nice

[urban oyster]

Mmmmmh

Love dat

[balmy patio]

@mystic needle if the 6800xt was compared to the 3080 and beat it while the 6800 was compared to a 2080ti and beat it, i think that it's worth it

[stuck notch]

but those are last gen parts

how much is the 6800xt again

[sinful hornet]

imma crackthe case open rn cause i cant remember what the stuff was

[balmy patio]

6800xt is 649

wait no

lemme double check

[stuck notch]

i think people were saying that an ocd 6800xt beat the 3080

pretty damn good deal if its true

[balmy patio]

i mean amd did claim it beat it

[mystic needle]

oooh

[balmy patio]

but we'll see once the reviewers benchmark it and stuff

[left shore]

Hello

[mystic needle]

well it’s because they go out of stock in minutes

[balmy patio]

same with the 30 series

[left shore]

Does it matter what PSU you use as long as it's 80+ gold?

[mystic needle]

and im just wondering which i should buy hehe

not really i don’t think

[stuck notch]

why do you need gold

[balmy patio]

@left shore it does matter

the 80+ rating is jus efficiency

[mystic needle]

ohhhh

[balmy patio]

doesn't mean it'll be "good"

[left shore]

I lowkey want a new PSU idk tho

I got a CX750 non modular

[balmy patio]

you looking for a 750w unit?

[left shore]

Yeah

[balmy patio]

how much money?

[weak field]

[jagged ember]

is your system already built tho

[balmy patio]

cuz there's this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fq4BD3/phanteks-amp-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ph-p750g_us01

[polar python]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sPQvj2

Thoughts?

[left shore]

As cheap as possible tbh

[balmy patio]

*if you want full modularity

[stoic island]

CX 750w is good tho

keep it

it's great

[balmy patio]

^^

[stoic island]

sn550 trash

get MP34

[pseudo forge]

Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD is this a good nvme?

[polar python]

i meant to switch it to 500gb sn750

[pseudo forge]

For $70 I can pick it up

[left shore]

I want a modular one tho there is a lot of cables which makes it hard to close the side panel

[stoic island]

70$ is nice

[jagged ember]

very cool

[pseudo forge]

A good deal? @stoic island

Seeing 90+ on most sites

[balmy patio]

jus tuck em inside the shroud metrobooming, assuming you have one

[stoic island]

ye

just tuck them in the back

you don't need a shroud

[balmy patio]

or rout them up the cable management system and leave them hanging by the side

[urban oyster]

Nvm....

[left shore]

Yeah but it still just pops out a lot lol just looking to see how much it would cost to upgrade

[balmy patio]

like how plants grow and stems split up to the side and just hang there

[urban oyster]

I have found a board that requires stuffing.

Only 24 dimm slots.

For a eatx board

Lolol

[weak field]

only

[stoic island]

lol

@urban oyster quad socket?

opteron?

[urban oyster]

Nah dual intel.

But.

[left shore]

So if I was to upgrade to full modular

What y'all think I should get

[urban oyster]

I do have a tesla laying around.

[stoic island]

@left shore not much of an upgrade if you don't want to spend more than 110usd

[jagged ember]

imagine having a spare car lying around

[stoic island]

because CX is an amazing non-modular unit

[urban oyster]

Lol.

[jagged ember]

jkjk

[weak field]

imagine having a license

[urban oyster]

I mean 24gb gpu tesla.

[left shore]

What if I cut off the extra cables

[weak field]

imagine not being in the womb rn

[stoic island]

why

[urban oyster]

Server grade.

[weak field]

itll explode and kill you

[stoic island]

@left shore you're not gonna have that many extra cables

think about it

[polar python]

O.O

[weak field]

maybe nuke your city

[stoic island]

you'll have like an extra sata cable

that's it

you'll plug in CPU power

GPU power

24pin

[weak field]

maybe if your unlucky

[left shore]

I have a lot of random cables just hanging there lol

[urban oyster]

Lol...

[jagged ember]

if you have a shroud it's fine

[stoic island]

stuff em up

[jagged ember]

your case has a psu shroud, right?

[urban oyster]

It's simple we nuke everything

[stoic island]

no need for shroud

just stuff in back

[urban oyster]

Jobs done.

[jagged ember]

actually, yeah

just shove cables behind mobo

[left shore]

I might try to cable manage it but idk if I can

[weak field]

no

hair dryer

heat gun

shrink them

solder them to the case

[jagged ember]

lol use cold gun to expand them again

[weak field]

[left shore]

Wait fr?

[weak field]

sure

[balmy patio]

just wrap them around the 24 pin connector

[jagged ember]

mans crazy

[weak field]

just about

[urban oyster]

So yes the rig will have 192 gb of ram stuffed into it...

Jesus...

[stoic island]

yes

[urban oyster]

40 threads.

[weak field]

give it a 100w psu

titan gpu

[jagged ember]

So yes the rig will have 192 gb of ram stuffed into it...
that's not jesus

[weak field]

in sli

thats god himself

[jagged ember]

exactly

[urban oyster]

Lol?

So 198 gb of ram.

[pseudo forge]

Is 16gb ram 3600 Corsair RGB for $70 a good deal?

[jagged ember]

imagine having enough ram to use as a storage medium
