[earnest olive]

they do... based off of used optiplexes with 16gb ddr3-1333

[deep wren]

Lol ok

[brazen slate]

Or that idfk

[weak field]

[sinful hornet]

[deep wren]

Should I upgrade my cpu or not

I've been thinking about switching

[sinful hornet]

it'd definitely be good time to switch i feel like

[earnest olive]

@spare wraith basically it comes down to it you need multiple 64 Gbps drives or if 1 64 Gbps drive and 1 32 Gbps drive and then multiple 6 Gbps drives is enough

[deep wren]

To what?

[sinful hornet]

amd

[earnest olive]

you have an i7-6900K?

[sinful hornet]

that cpu wont "need" an upgrade for awhile tho

[deep wren]

I was going to get an 1-9 10900k

[earnest olive]

honestly I would wait until DDR5 but it wouldn't hurt to upgrade if you have money

[weak field]

[sinful hornet]

why that?

when theres the 5600x

or any other amd 5000 cpu

[deep wren]

It was before the 5600 came out

[weak field]

yes

no

[sinful hornet]

you're going to have to get a new mobo anyways

ok

but you didnt buy it

[earnest olive]

then again

[weak field]

true

[deep wren]

No

[earnest olive]

granted you have a $1100 cpu you probably have money

[deep wren]

Yeah

[sinful hornet]

jesus, is that how much that cost?

[deep wren]

Are they better

The amd

[sinful hornet]

newest gen it

[earnest olive]

early adoption ddr5 is not gonna be that insane so you could just grab a 5950x and some really nice ddr4 and ride it out for a few years

[sinful hornet]

arent the estimates for early ddr5 to be max 3000 speed or smth like that?

[deep wren]

Igk

[earnest olive]

umm i think it was 3200 but don't quote me on that i'm not sure

i don't pay too much attention to rumors

[sinful hornet]

eh, close enough

do cas latencies make any significant drops when a new ddr gen comes out?

ive never really looked into it

i say really, but ive never looked into it period lmao

[earnest olive]

well, there's 3200MHz CL9 DDR3 so make of that what you will

[sinful hornet]

dayum ok

[earnest olive]

(although that is at 1.65Vdimm)

(and only available as 2x4GB)

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive I am not sure like this is basically her starter computer but I want it to be a good starter with enough storage plus speed.

[sinful hornet]

still, thats the fastest stuff out there im pretty sure

[earnest olive]

i'm going to go with you probably don't need to move 4TB worth of storage at 7+ gigabytes per second

[sinful hornet]

just based on looking at the chart pinned

[deep wren]

Nvidia has better cards than amd right?

[earnest olive]

better is subjective

[sinful hornet]

not neccesarrily

[deep wren]

Ik

Here

[sinful hornet]

newest gen is cheaper for the higher end cards

newest gen amd that is

[earnest olive]

@spare wraith how about audio quality? is she big on that

[deep wren]

Who has better multitasking

[sinful hornet]

while it seems nvidia is going more for the low end this gen

[little osprey]

Best 360 mm all in one? I was looking at the EK 360 mm but it’s sold out everywhere

[earnest olive]

take a look at arctic freezer line

evga clc line is also good

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive no not to big on audio for what she will be doing. But of coarse I want it to have decent audio.

[sinful hornet]

all mobos should have more than ok audio

[deep wren]

[sinful hornet]

even the cheapest of the cheap

[earnest olive]

depends

if you have airpods you won't be able to tell ALC892 from ALC1220

[sinful hornet]

my $60 mobo from 4 years has decent quality sounds

[weak field]

[earnest olive]

but i can tell the difference between ALC892/ALC1200/ALC1220 quite easily

[sinful hornet]

dont really know what bad quality sound sounds like, but this aint it

i dont think i have any speakers/headphones which would even allow me to tell the difference lul

[deep wren]

[earnest olive]

@spare wraith so the $169 B550 AORUS PRO AC has "high end" onboard audio, integrated WiFi 5, support for 1 64 Gbps SSD, 1 32 Gbps SSD, and then 6 SATA ports for up to 108 TB of mass storage

sounds good enough?

[sinful hornet]

ayy thats the board im getting

super nice looking

didnt know about the audio thing tho

huh

[earnest olive]

it's got ALC1220 codec which is pretty much the best on-board you can get right now, obviously it is gonna lose to dedicated sound hardware though

[sinful hornet]

dang ok

[earnest olive]

the Z490 GODLIKE has ALC1220

[sinful hornet]

what headphones would even be able to take advantage of that?

im guessing not the razer krakens, which are what i was thinking about getting next

[earnest olive]

i have a 4 year old sennheiser HD598SE and i can easily tell the difference in quality between ALC892 and ALC1200

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive Does it also have PCIe slots because I was planning on putting in a Raydeon RX5700 Xt video card

[sinful hornet]

seeing as how my 5 year old beat solos are falling apart

[earnest olive]

yes, it will take a video card

[sinful hornet]

are there any mobos that dont have any pcie lanes?

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive Very helpful, I appreciate the help

[earnest olive]

no pcie lanes or no pcie slots?

there's a difference

[sinful hornet]

slots i guess

lanes is based on the cpu, correct?

[earnest olive]

and the chipset

[sinful hornet]

well, and the chipset

yea

[earnest olive]

there are mini pcs/embedded systems that don't have pcie x16

[sinful hornet]

but those are proprietary boards

[weak field]

heheh

[sacred knot]

hey guys i need help please

[sinful hornet]

yis

[sacred knot]

so im instaliling the motherboard inside of my case

but one of the screws on the side of the case didnt go in well

[sinful hornet]

do you already have cpu, ram and cpu installed tho?

[sacred knot]

and now when im trynna remove it

yep cpu ram and ssd

[sinful hornet]

ok gooda

[sacred knot]

when i try to remove the screw

[earnest olive]

@spare wraith https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NH69cT whipped up a quick example build for ya

[sacred knot]

it just keeps spinning without coming off

[sinful hornet]

are you talking about one of the screws that go through the motherboard into a standoff?

[sacred knot]

yes

[earnest olive]

the motherboard standoff is spinning with the screw?

do you have pliers?

[sacred knot]

i do

[earnest olive]

so if you look at the back behind the motherboard

the standoff should have a stub coming through the panel

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive I will take a look at what you put together. Thank you.

[sacred knot]

yep

[earnest olive]

you can grab that stub with the pliers and then unscrew

[winged tinsel]

Should I use a 3070 or an Rx 6800 in my main pc?

[sacred knot]

ill try that

[sinful hornet]

3070 is cheaper, 6800 is more expensive

[earnest olive]

@winged tinsel considering 2020... whichever one you can buy

[sinful hornet]

same performance for the price difference i feel

[winged tinsel]

Hmmm I think 6800

[sinful hornet]

or whatever one has features you like most

[sacred knot]

do i have to screw some other screws so that it doesnt move?

[earnest olive]

might be helpful

[sinful hornet]

if you're considering the 6800, the 6800xt is only $70 more

havnt seen comparisons of their performance tho

[winged tinsel]

Damn I didn’t know that

[sinful hornet]

so dont actually know if the $70 is worth

[earnest olive]

once the board is out you may also try using pliers on the other end to tighten the loose standoff in

[winged tinsel]

I didn’t even think of that holy crap

Ok imma go for the 6800xt then

[earnest olive]

alright I gotta head out for now

good luck all

[whole harbor]

Is xt just amd super/ti

[weak field]

no

much diffey

[sinful hornet]

no, its more a completely different gpuy

[weak field]

different

[whole harbor]

k

[sinful hornet]

much larger step-up in performance and actual different hardware

instead of just bad bins and good bins

[winged tinsel]

Amd xt is like 3070 vs 3080

[sacred knot]

wait

[sinful hornet]

as far as im aware, yes

just one is more expensive and one is cheaper

so it might not be as big of a performance jump

[sacred knot]

what if the other side of the standoff is kindof not sticking out now

[winged tinsel]

It seems pretty worth it though as it is only a mere 70 dollar difference

[sinful hornet]

then try using the screw on the other side of the motherboard to screw the standoff back in so you can get a better grip on it

[sacred knot]

but the the screw on the other side is not in well

so i cant turn in that much

[sinful hornet]

hmm

worst case scenario, you just have to take out your motherboard completely and unscrew the standoff from there

might be the easiest route at this point

so as to not potentially break anything

[sacred knot]

wdym take out the motherboard?

[sinful hornet]

i mean, unscrew the rest of the screws and take it out so you can get better access to that one screw which is now apparently undone

well, not undone but no longer connected to the case via the standoff which is now unscrewed

y u delete?

[sacred knot]

how do i do that

[sinful hornet]

anyways, answer at the very least that, if you're running a server in the background while doing all that 64 gigs might be useful

well, you take out the motherboard the same way you put it in

unscrewing the screws

[sacred knot]

but the screw is stuck

that one screw is ruining my life

[sinful hornet]

but you said the standoff isnt in the case anymore

so you can unscrew the rest of the screws

and the mobo will come out

[sacred knot]

no its stil there but its not stiking out

[sinful hornet]

hmm

and you cant screw it back in by turning it the other way?

[sacred knot]

no cos the screw is not turning beyond a certain point

im having a breakdown

why did i think i could do this smh

[weak field]

breathing intensifies

[sinful hornet]

ok, but if the screw doesnt turn beyond a certain point thats good, becuase you can use that to screw the standoff back in

think of the screw as an extenstion of your screwdrier

and you're using it to screw the standoff into the case

[sacred knot]

ill try it but idk if its working

[sinful hornet]

i mean, it should

[sacred knot]

im saying the screw is not budging beyond a point

[sinful hornet]

yes, and you can use that

to screw in the standoff

because its only the screw thats not moving

so if you get the standoff into place

you can screw it back in

so that you can grab it again

[sacred knot]

ok yeah its out on the other side

[sinful hornet]

if thats still not working, send a picture so i know exactly what you're talking about

[sacred knot]

does the head of the standoff get ruined if you hold the ther sdie

[little leaf]

Could you take a picture

[sacred knot]

side?

[little leaf]

And are you sure its the right screw

[sinful hornet]

it shouldnt

its stuck inside the standoff rn

[sacred knot]

yes im pretty sure its the right one

so i have to remove the screw right?

if its not in well

[sinful hornet]

yes

but grab the standoff on the other side with pliers

[little leaf]

@sacred knot make sure its the right screw

[sinful hornet]

so you can actually get the screw out, and not just the standoff

[sacred knot]

yeah i checked the manuals

[little leaf]

And which part of the pc are you screwing in?

Im assuming the mobo

Which case?

[weak field]

that one case

[sacred knot]

in coolermaster td500 mesh

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive with that build is the CPU cooler necessary or is it a recommendation

[earnest olive]

it doesn't come with a cooler

[cyan saffron]

its back

[earnest olive]

you could get a cheaper one

[cyan saffron]

ffs just have it at regular price

[little leaf]

@earnest olive nice on techie

[weak field]

510$

[earnest olive]

but you will need one

[sacred knot]

okay i got it out

[sinful hornet]

hes had for awhile

[sacred knot]

thanks guys

[sinful hornet]

nice

[cyan saffron]

its 419 cad at canada computers

[sinful hornet]

gl on the rest of the build

[earnest olive]

ehh it's been like 3 days

not everyone is here daily 😛

[whole harbor]

Should i get a i5-9400f, b365, 5600xt or 3100 b550 5600xt @earnest olive

[weak field]

[sinful hornet]

guess it just seems like a while for me

wow thats a lot of options

[earnest olive]

if same price, the latter

[little leaf]

@whole harbor neither

[whole harbor]

@earnest olive might get z390 if discounts are good

[weak field]

łættęr

[sinful hornet]

what does that even mean

[whole harbor]

@little leaf ?

[little leaf]

Assuming they are msrp

[earnest olive]

mmm i would still rather be on B550 than Z390 tbh

[sinful hornet]

am confusion, you're giving 2 cpus with 1 mobo

[little leaf]

Oh sorry

[sinful hornet]

twice

[little leaf]

K read that wrong lol

[whole harbor]

@earnest olive sacrifice the performance?

[sinful hornet]

and one of them is an intel and amd cpu

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive The Ryzen 9 CPU I am getting comes with a wraith Prism LED cooler

[little leaf]

Keep thinking that the 5600xt is 5600x

[sinful hornet]

oh

[earnest olive]

oh you're going for the 3900X?

[sinful hornet]

i read that wrong too

lmao

[earnest olive]

ryzen 9 5900X and ryzen 9 5950X don't bundle a cooler
ryzen 9 3900X bundles a cooler
ryzen 9 3950X doesn't bundle a cooler

[sinful hornet]

also, if you're getting a 3100, b550 is prolly overkill for your budget

get a b450

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive yes i was planning on using that CPU

[earnest olive]

do note that the stock cooler is not really sufficient on the 3900X

[whole harbor]

@earnest olive u agree i get b450
With my $750 budget

?

[sinful hornet]

i thought they didnt include a stock cooler with the 3900x?

[earnest olive]

it will keep it from overheating but it won't be quiet and you won't be hitting the chip's maximum potential

[whole harbor]

Theres gonna be disocunts on black friday @sinful hornet

[earnest olive]

well... cheap budget b550 boards exist

[sinful hornet]

$750 with a 3100 def warrenty a b450 i feel like

but the extra money saved could be spent on a 3600

or gpu

[whole harbor]

So no 9400f and z390?

[earnest olive]

even a budget b550 board can drop in a 5600X down the line

[sinful hornet]

or literally anything else becuse b550 isnt needed

[earnest olive]

and have pcie 4

and SAM

i'd go b550 for longevity

[whole harbor]

k

[sinful hornet]

but its such a budget system...

[earnest olive]

unless you don't plan to upgrade at all and just go for a new build

then go B450

[whole harbor]

Hows this @earnest olive

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LWjZwz

Im gonna get a sapphire 5600xt

Prob

If it goes on sale

[earnest olive]

looks good

[little leaf]

If you went b450

You could get a 2060

[spare wraith]

@earnest olive I was going with it for now, she can upgrade it later . I think she should be happy with her starter PC

[earnest olive]

[whole harbor]

with a 3100

?

[earnest olive]

it's nicer than mine

[little leaf]

Yes

Sips you have a 4690k right

[earnest olive]

2060 isn't better than 5600XT unless you're going to use nvenc

wh-

no i have a 3600X

[little leaf]

Ah

[earnest olive]

planning to upgrade to 5600X

[little leaf]

Ive just gotten a 9900k sitting around waiting for a 3070/6800

[earnest olive]

i am hoping to grab the 6800xt

been trying to buy a 3080 since launch but nvidia said no

[weak field]

hol up

intel?

[little leaf]

Yes

[weak field]

angery

[earnest olive]

nothing wrong with a 9900K

they had them on sale for $280 at microcenter

[weak field]

overpriced

[sacred knot]

another question

[drifting garnet]

#cases-psu-and-cooling

[earnest olive]

9900K for $280 is not bad

[weak field]

wait rlly?

[little leaf]

I got a 9900k mobi and ram for 85$

[sinful hornet]

nothing wrong with intel, just amd tends to have better options for the price

[weak field]

what the

[earnest olive]

$85?

[little leaf]

Lmao

[earnest olive]

[sinful hornet]

dayum ok

[weak field]

where was this at?

[sacred knot]

you know those three screws on the side of the wall of the case?

[sinful hornet]

where do ya'll find this sick fekin deals

[weak field]

“wheres my notepad?”

[livid fiber]

Pc has been blue screening so much

[little leaf]

A friends friend

[livid fiber]

Am sad

[earnest olive]

9900K is still pretty much competitive with the 5600X

[sacred knot]

how do you put them in without messing it up

[weak field]

“so a left then down that road”

[earnest olive]

microcenter had 9900K for $300 but $20 off if you also buy a mobo

brand new

[weak field]

[earnest olive]

unfortunately i live 400 miles away from the nearest microcenter

[little leaf]

Oof

[livid fiber]

I can't wait for black Friday so I can get this combo

[little leaf]

Im about 40

@livid fiber dont

[earnest olive]

i'd be down to drive 40 miles to microcenter

400 not so much

[little leaf]

5600x is better

[sinful hornet]

is it still cheaper tho?

[little leaf]

Yes

[livid fiber]

How much is 5h3 5600x

[little leaf]

300

Mobo is liek 100

[livid fiber]

[little leaf]

-170 at most

[livid fiber]

NANI

[drifting garnet]

What case do you guys think is better? My motherboard is Micro ATX

[livid fiber]

BROOOOO

[weak field]

it doesnt matter

matx fits in atx

matx+

[earnest olive]

i've done a few builds in the MB311L which is the mesh version of that MB320L

i like the MB311L

[drifting garnet]

Are all those cases better than NZXT H510?

[earnest olive]

would say yes

[little leaf]

H510 not good airflow

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, that is what I heard so now I ma considering these.

[little leaf]

220t

Good

Td500mesh

P300a

P400a

[earnest olive]

iirc H510 has fine stock performance but doesn't do well when adding fans in a traditional airflow setup

[sinful hornet]

at first i was gonna get the mb530p cause it was the only case i could find that had a tempered glass front panel, and decent lookin airflow

but i gave up and went meshify c instead lul

[livid fiber]

I can't find the ryzen 7 5800 you mentioned

On Amazon

[drifting garnet]

So like, any of these cases?

[livid fiber]

Is it a ryzen 9?

@little leaf

[drifting garnet]

I was trying to click on that like it was a link lol.

[livid fiber]

Lmao

[sinful hornet]

no, its just most likely not avalable

brand new

[toxic widget]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qjnxHz should I change anything?

[sinful hornet]

so very much out of stock

case

no airflow

jus sayin

[still roost]

Tristan#0003 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[toxic widget]

Dang

[sinful hornet]

also, would change the memory

[toxic widget]

^ yea 3600mhz

[sinful hornet]

only 3000

[toxic widget]

Is the move

Yea ima swap the case dw

[sinful hornet]

or 3200 cl14

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, swap the case, change the motherboard so you can put more money towards other parts.

[sinful hornet]

and idk if you have that mobo for a specific reason, but i find the aorus pro/pro zc looks just as good if not better

*pro a

ac

aaaaa

[toxic widget]

Yea, im clueless on the mother board part I don’t know which is good for my money.

[sinful hornet]

is there anything specific you're lookig for or moreso just something that will run well and look nice?

[toxic widget]

Run well and look well and future upgrades

[sinful hornet]

cause if thats the case, i would either go with one of the cheaper versions of that board, or the aorus pro ac

[toxic widget]

Ima look at the Aorus boards I’ve seen a lot of people suggest them.

[sinful hornet]

i like them a lot, they look a very nice

and not crazy expensive

[toxic widget]

Yea I’m looking for a board that looks well and not plain if that makes sense

[sinful hornet]

did u see the aorus board already?

[weak field]

look i do

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WKsDZZ

[severe zephyr]

hey guys, wanna upgrade my pc, but don't know what i should upgrade first

I have a intel core i5 with 16 gb ram, along with intel r hd graphics 4600 and nvidia geforce gtx 970

[weak field]

hm

[severe zephyr]

any opinions or questions ? I bought this prebuild from a friend 5 years ago

[drifting garnet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qjnxHz should I change anything?
@toxic widget I know it took a while but here is this

[toxic widget]

?

[deep igloo]

what would be a good cpu/graphics card combo for 144 fps 1080p on cold war/warzone

[drifting garnet]

I changed your list a little

[vital warren]

mobo way too expensive tristan

is the budget 1500 usd?

[drifting garnet]

@vital warren I made him one do you think it is good for around the same price?

[vital warren]

they're the same list

[drifting garnet]

Oops

[vital warren]

if you're spending 1500 just do 3080 + 5600x

[drifting garnet]

Hold on one sec

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dZG9cT

I mean i could throw in a 3080 and change other things

[vital warren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2NDrVc heres a lil example

psu price isnt shown

[astral swift]

pricey build you have there

[toxic widget]

Is it worth getting the 3800x over the 3700x?

[vital warren]

what are you doing with the computer?

gaming?

[toxic widget]

Gaming + streaming

[vital warren]

i'd get 5600x then

[astral swift]

better gaming perf

w 5600x

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, if you aren't video editing or anything like that, go with his.

[remote junco]

Would I be able to just buy another set of 2x8gb and put it on my mobo to upgrade to 32 or would I have to buy the 32gb set??

[cursive magnet]

First arrival

[weak field]

chipset?

[remote junco]

I would buy the exact some one

[weak field]

pins

but ok

yeah itd b fine

[fervent elm]

what mobo...if it has 4 slots, then you should be good. just make sure the ram you buy are matching stix. it makes a diff...like SN and Model...

[remote junco]

This is the motherboard

[fervent elm]

also, as mentioned, make sure the boards chipset can handle the speed of ram you are getting.

[remote junco]

Its a b550 I'm sure it can handle 3200MHz

[fervent elm]

yea...some of them are upwards of 41600-5000mhz now....

4600-5000...sorry.

[remote junco]

Lol 41600 would be nice

[fervent elm]

LMAO

agreed!!

;P

especially since now with AMD it DOES actually make a diff having higher clock ram...

[sinful hornet]

well, it always did with amd

at least for ryzen

[fervent elm]

right...just more so with newer...of course.

Has anyone here actually gotten a chance to hands on any of the new?? curious if real-world usage is getting same numbers as hand picked AMD releases...

the new 5000 series...sorry.

[south jungle]

can someone help me pick the rest of my parts? my only request is to have AIO cooler

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yY9t7X

[little osprey]

i already bought an rtx 2080 but how does this build look

any changes?

[sinful hornet]

i would get an mp34/sn750/crucial p1 of the same size instead of the samsung nvme

that one is overpriced

[jagged ember]

but it's 69 dollars

nice

[sinful hornet]

and maybe go with a better case? seems a bit budget for a 2080 build but idk

id you think it looks good, it looks good

[jagged ember]

why not the P400A?

[sinful hornet]

wait

is that the solid front panel one

if so, change it

[jagged ember]

idk how that's priced

[sinful hornet]

to something like the p400a

its like, 69$ i think as well

nice

[jagged ember]

ayy

[little osprey]

I just like the look of the case more than most cases and I think it has really good ventilation

[jagged ember]

is it a solid front panel?

[little osprey]

yeah but the sides are well ventilated

so I dont see a prob

[jagged ember]

the sides as in sides of the front panel?

[little osprey]

yes

[jagged ember]

you could say that for NZXT cases, too

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qY6z68

check the case for yourself

[little osprey]

yes sir

[jagged ember]

okay, it's definitely better than nxzt lol

[little osprey]

yes sirrr

[jagged ember]

there's gonna be a 2080 in there

just worried about that part

[little osprey]

yeah I bought one for 500 cuz I dont feel like waiting to buy a 3070 lmao

[jagged ember]

fair

if anything, you could use top intake instead

[little osprey]

tru

but it doesnt really matter

the fans shouldnt really be restricted that bad

[jagged ember]

yeah, i think i'm okay with this one

[little osprey]

I also like the overall look of the case

its a really nice budget case

[jagged ember]

just a hint of concern remains for airflow but

i think it'll be fine?

[little osprey]

ill determine if I want the front ones to be an intake when I get it

[jagged ember]

just saying, the P400A includes a full set of stock fans and has more space to work with

just for your consideration

and GN says it's a good case too

[sacred knot]

Question about exhaust fan instalation

[balmy patio]

whats up

[sacred knot]

I got this fan

And those tiny screws came with it

[sinful hornet]

ok

[sacred knot]

Am i supposed to screw them from the back of the case?

[sinful hornet]

yes

[sacred knot]

From outside i mean

[sinful hornet]

yes

[sacred knot]

Ok perfect thanks

I finally finished installing mobo afyer i took a break

[balmy patio]

[sacred knot]

Hopefully good

Cant take a better pic cos my phone is connected to charger

[balmy patio]

looks nice

[sacred knot]

Thank you 😭😍

I'll send a pic when complete

[balmy patio]

ight fs, tag me in it and make sure to send it in #build-pics if this chat becomes active again

[sacred knot]

How do i know what to connect and where

And when too

[balmy patio]

what are you trying to connect

[sacred knot]

Basically everything rn

I just installed the exhaust fan

So i want to connect it and its rgb

[balmy patio]

do you have a fan hub of some sort?

or a rgb header on your mobo?

[sacred knot]

Theres this too

[ruby ledge]

whats a good intel microatx motherboard thats under $100 that supports 3200mhz+ ram
intel lga 1151

[balmy patio]

is ur psu modular or semi modular?

[sacred knot]

is ur psu modular or semi modular?
@balmy patio how do i find out?

[balmy patio]

what model is it?

or check your psu if it has outlets

[sacred knot]

Those?

[balmy patio]

if it has only outlets, it's fully modular, if it has some cables coming out of it and some outlets, its semi modular, if it only has cables coming out of it, no modularity

the other side

where the connectors are

[sacred knot]

I think its fully modular

Theres nothing else on the otherside but those cable coming out

[balmy patio]

then its non modular

[sacred knot]

Nothing to plug in

Oh oops 🤭

[balmy patio]

its fine

wait

[sacred knot]

Do i put it in place?

[balmy patio]

im not sure if its a molex or usb cable coming out of it

did that thing come with the fan or with the case

[sacred knot]

The small plug?

With the case

It's the rgb controller i think

[balmy patio]

ahhh

so i think it plugs into a usb header, can i see the end of the plug?

[plush mist]

uhhhh

is that a broken pin or is that header just like that

and what kind of header is that

[balmy patio]

dont know

been staring at it since he sent it

[plush mist]

what does it come from

the header

[balmy patio]

can i see the other end of the thing?

[plush mist]

where does the other end plug in to

the case??

[sacred knot]

Its like that

[plush mist]

???

[balmy patio]

is there any plugs on the square thing

[plush mist]

which component did it come with @sacred knot

[balmy patio]

the thing that has the button

[sacred knot]

The case

[plush mist]

that, is the data cable

u plug that into any kind of drives

[sacred knot]

Sorry about the weird hand picks 😂😂

[plush mist]

i have no idea what the first one is tho

[balmy patio]

i thought rgb controllers used sata for power

[plush mist]

ive never seen taht before

[sacred knot]

that, is the data cable
@plush mist thats the second half of the first pic

[plush mist]

ohh ok

thats strange

[sacred knot]

Its one short cable

[plush mist]

ive never seen it go through another "connector" liek that

[balmy patio]

istg this the reason i hate rgb lmao

[sacred knot]

😂😂

[balmy patio]

but its cool to work with

[sacred knot]

Man im gonna have chronic back pain because of building 😭

[plush mist]

build on a table lmao

[sacred knot]

I am 😭😂

[plush mist]

yikes

[echo depot]

guys im so sad

[sacred knot]

And im not even halfway done

[plush mist]

can i see a pic of the whole cable

[balmy patio]

ok so that thing gets power from the sata connector on the psu

[echo depot]

i buy the 2060 super 540$

):

[balmy patio]

but since it is not modular

[plush mist]

i buy the 2060 super 540$
@echo depot why....

[echo depot]

[plush mist]

[echo depot]

[plush mist]

[plush mist]

[echo depot]

[plush mist]

for case

and motherboard

[balmy patio]

[echo depot]

idk

[sacred knot]

Wait which end now?

[balmy patio]

the controller, the thicc part that has the wire attached to it

[sacred knot]

On the side of the wire then?

[plush mist]

did u check manuals

[balmy patio]

yes

[sacred knot]

Am checking now

[plush mist]

good

[balmy patio]

other one

that port is where you plug the fan in

[plush mist]

ive personally never seen that port b4

[balmy patio]

or that's where you plug the rgb in

don't know

[plush mist]

that doesnt look like it goes inot any fan or rgb ports to me

[sacred knot]

Isnt it for this?

I just saw it

And theres another one for case fans i think

[chilly onyx]

hey guys

[plush mist]

wait which port is this one now, 2nd pic

[sacred knot]

Thats coming from the exhaust fan i got seperatly

[jagged ember]

Y'all should just do a video call or something

[sacred knot]

Its the same model as the case fans in front

[balmy patio]

bruh tech support would be sooo easy with video call

[plush mist]

Thats coming from the exhaust fan i got seperatly
@sacred knot oh thats just a regular fan port i think

@hasty gyro we dont have actual benchmarks of 6700xt yet, so we dont know

yep

[unreal kindle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m6wd9N buying the parts in less than 2 weeks
thoughts?

[plush mist]

@unreal kindle i would get 3070

3070 same price but SO much better

[unreal kindle]

out of stock

[plush mist]

you'll have to snag one

[sacred knot]

Dont you need more W for the PSU?

[still roost]

when i made that list it was 300

[sacred knot]

Rip

[unreal kindle]

i might buy used

[sacred knot]

Man i think im gonna continue my build tomorrow

Ive been standing for like 5 hours straight

And i havent eaten yet 😭😂

[plush mist]

@sacred knot thats tuff, if you have any further questions and confused and want some quick answers, u can dm me anytime

since reaching people on this server is hard

[sacred knot]

Thanks a lot

[plush mist]

yep

[sacred knot]

And sometimes all i get as an answer is read the manual 😭

[echo depot]

guys

my cpu 3700x

3700x and 3080 is good or 3070

and 2060 super have a bottle neck ?

with 3700x

[hasty gyro]

uhhhhhh what

other way around

3080 might be bottlenecked by the 3700x but i doubt it

and the 2060 super certainly isnt

3070 shouldnt be bottlenecked either

[echo depot]

okay 3070 with 3700x

% ?

[hasty gyro]

yeah that could work

[echo depot]

ok ty bro

[hasty gyro]

do you already have the 3700x?

[echo depot]

yes

[hasty gyro]

oh okay

then nvm

[echo depot]

okay L:

[frosty crystal]

Is it good upgrade from a 2600x too a 3700x

[hasty gyro]

i dont know tbh

i think so in some aspects

[frosty crystal]

I would be gaming on and steaming

[vital warren]

just get a 5600x

better gaming perf than 3700x

[balmy patio]

@sacred knot did you resolve your issue?

[sacred knot]

Of where to plug it?

Nah

Imma work on it tomorrow

So need to sleep to heal

[frosty crystal]

I don’t want to buy a new motherboard and ram @vital warren

[vital warren]

what mobo u got

[frosty crystal]

B450

[vital warren]

if it's a b450 you should be able to use 5000 series in january

whenever that bios comes out

and you don't need new ram

[frosty crystal]

And the 3700x might go on sale

[vital warren]

not much

[frosty crystal]

On amazon it’s 50£ off

[south jungle]

For when it's time to build my PC what's best guide I can follow?

[next kestrel]

the verge pc build guide /s

jk, just look through the bitwit or ltt one

there's a reason why those channels are so big

[astral swift]

THE VERGE LMAO

[south jungle]

Wait lemme grab some thermal paste first

[unique vault]

Is this a good build? : (

[south jungle]

Yeah but can I have the 3080?

I'll give you free money for it

[unique vault]

Sus

[south jungle]

Delete this

Pls

I need to be able to sleep tonight

[unique vault]

Its afternoon here

[south jungle]

Sus

[south jungle]

This isn't a build

[next kestrel]

im scared

[unique vault]

Im sorry i'm just asking if that is a good build

[next kestrel]

that the cpu cooler will fall off

looks like with an accidental tap its gonna break

[unique vault]

Its on the table now don't worry

Is the water cooling worth it?

[next kestrel]

that specific one? probably not if u paif like 150$ for it

usually not

but hey it does look good

[unique vault]

I wanted to go air cooling but im worry it will damage on shipping

[eager dawn]

yeah its more or less same performance for a higher price

air cooling can give u better results

plus helps with circulation

but aesthetic wise its dope

[next kestrel]

aios are more dangerous

[unique vault]

Is the case fans enough? Im just doing what is included

[next kestrel]

air cooling is nice

but it is bulky

and if you get a good one it'll cover up most of your system

[unique vault]

Btw is that 3080 brand good?

It was the only one availt

[next kestrel]

honestly idk i cant read it from the pic

[unique vault]

Available

Im sorry

Wait

[eager dawn]

hey all. I'm having a tough time with a build. my PC has been down since Friday. is this the right channel for troubleshooting?
@vocal lily shoot ur shot

[unique vault]

Be pairing it with 5600x

[next kestrel]

u should look at reviews from reddit

1440p 240hz?

or what type of monitor?

[unique vault]

1440p 144hz

Gl850

[next kestrel]

thats fine

you could prob play everything max setting

[unique vault]

I wanted to play switch game on 4k

And skyrim modded

Haha

[next kestrel]

prob not a problem, your pc looks good

but also pls remove the cat with human teeth from the chat

for my sanity's sake

(:

[unique vault]

Deleted already

Sorry about that

[next kestrel]

ty, gl with ur pc build

[unique vault]

Initially wanted to pair 10900k

But price was not worth it for me

@glossy shoal huh?

[stone pine]

Guys

I need advice

Should I buy a 2080 ti for 650 CAD? (500 US)

That’s basically my GPU budget

@ or DM me

[little osprey]

i would go with a 3070 if you HAVE to get nvidia

Or go with the 6800xt coming out tommorow

[little osprey]

Hi

The best one is 3090

[gray trellis]

i dont know if this can go here,but yeah.i have a question.is it normal that my CPU is on 80-90 temperature when im not even playing anything or doing anything.im just asking

[quaint jay]

Hi, does a r5 3600 bottleneck a 3070

[little osprey]

No @quaint jay

What would be a good GPU to get around 200-300$?

[old pike]

Is there any advice on cable management

[jagged ember]

Just try

Zip ties and cable ties will help

@gray trellis nope, that's not normal, but I trust temperatures taken from hwinfo64 instead of speccy

[gray trellis]

oh okay.Thnx!

[hollow arch]

Hey guys does someone do a PCs for me I have a budget of $1330 AUD

Dm if you do that

[little osprey]

@little osprey 2080 ti and 3070 are legit same except for RTX in some games

@stone pine if you can buy a 2080 TI for 500 usd

that is an EXTREMELY good deal

[ripe wedge]

^^^ @stone pine

[torn steeple]

6900xt better than 3090 currently ?

[little osprey]

yes

[torn steeple]

reaaly

[little osprey]

not for workstation purposes but for gaming yeah

[torn steeple]

hmm

what u think about 3080ti rumors

will beat 6900xt then ?

[winged tinsel]

Does anyone know what time of day the 6800xt launches tomorrow?

[weak field]

yes

jaden$

[formal cosmos]

Ik I’m stupid but where does the m.2 go into this mobo https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6Qqn68

[weak field]

you simply slide it into the slot and then use a screw to hold it down

[formal cosmos]

I thought m.2’s only worked on mobo with m.2 slots

[stoic island]

@formal cosmos

[weak field]

no incompatibility

[stoic island]

there's the two m.2 slots

[formal cosmos]

Oh

Okay thanks

[weak field]

also you should prolly get some faster ram for the 3070

[formal cosmos]

I already bought that ram tho

I’m probably just gonna return it

[winged tinsel]

Is there a confirmed time for the 6800 and 6800xt launch?

[formal cosmos]

I’m thinking of switching that mobo for this mobo ASRock B550 PRO4 Supports 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen/Future AMD Ryzen Processors Motherboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089W2ZTHF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_qT8SFbRM5GDYM

Because I like how it has the cover for the m.2 and it’s white

[weak field]

heat sink

[stoic island]

what

that's spending 20$ just for a color

m.2 heatsink doesn't do anything for gen 3 drives

[formal cosmos]

Fr?

[weak field]

no it does

it makes it look cooler

[winged tinsel]

Lol

[stoic island]

. . .

[weak field]

but its true

[sinful hornet]

if an m.2 needs a cooler, im pretty sure they're required to ship it with one

[stoic island]

meh

[sinful hornet]

maybe not required, but generally will

[stoic island]

For example, rocket 4.0 you can buy without a heatsink

[formal cosmos]

I don’t like how it shows these ports on the other mobo

[stoic island]

so

?

[formal cosmos]

It’s ugly

[weak field]

thats how all are shapef

[formal cosmos]

I don’t like it

[sinful hornet]

no u

[weak field]

then get one with a built in aio and you wont have to look at it

gonna be more

[stoic island]

lol

x570 aqua

[weak field]

yea

thats actually really nice and cheap

[stoic island]

if you're gonna spend 20$ for random aesthetics

why not spend 500$ more

[weak field]

really worth it

[stoic island]

lemme check msrp again

oh aqua MSRP was 1000$ lmao

[formal cosmos]

Holy crap

That mobo is $540

[weak field]

or the x570 aorus extreme

1800$ on newegg

[formal cosmos]

Bruh

[stoic island]

MSRP is 700$

for the aorus extreme
