[modern pagoda]

ur welcome

[wanton cliff]

guess whos back

back again'

[tiny oriole]

Yw

[formal cosmos]

@arctic jungle https://offerup.co/6UaKKqwbybb should I consider this?

[vital scaffold]

really good love the blue scheme

[formal cosmos]

Should I buy it

[vital scaffold]

ya

[formal cosmos]

He’s selling everything

For $3000

[vital scaffold]

thats really good deal

do you have the money lol

[hardy oyster]

Yeah that’s a great deal!

[midnight jasper]

Does anyone know if th ryzen 7 5800x is compatible with the ROG Crosshair VIII hero wifi. And does the mobo have the flash bios update thing?

[viral ore]

it is

any specific reason you are looking at that motherboard?

its quite expensive

[midnight jasper]

I have tried out different mobos but they arent compatible with the rest of my components.

[viral ore]

there are many motherboards you can buy that will work

[wanton cliff]

anything 400 series or 500 series

[viral ore]

what are you using this PC for?

[wanton cliff]

B450, B550, X570, etc

[midnight jasper]

everything

i have looked at a lot of the x570 mobos

[viral ore]

not exactly, 400 series boards are not compatible yet

[wanton cliff]

they will be with a Bios update soon

[viral ore]

could you be a little more specific? what will this system be doing the most? image rendering?

[wanton cliff]

gaming?

sending emails?

[viral ore]

i see

for starters, i would suggest the 5600x

[wanton cliff]

oh im not him

[viral ore]

whoops

ohhhh

i see what you were doing lol

[midnight jasper]

gaming, school.

[viral ore]

well then, i would still recommend the 5600x

[wanton cliff]

not in stock anywhere

[viral ore]

well, none of them are

[wanton cliff]

you would have to look really hard to find something good

good price, that is

[viral ore]

theyre coming back soon

[midnight jasper]

I mean I could just stick with the 7 3800XT

[wanton cliff]

define soon pls

[viral ore]

do you already have a 3800xt?

[wanton cliff]

a 3800XT is a solid CPU, no questions

[midnight jasper]

no, Its just the one on my components list

i havent made the pc yet

[viral ore]

eh, its not really worth buying the 3800xt

when are you looking to build this system?

[wanton cliff]

if you already had one that would be a whole different question tho

[midnight jasper]

in the next 7-8 months, i already have half of the money saved

[viral ore]

ok, definitely by then the 5600x will be in stock consistently

[hoary cloak]

I need help with my fan cable, I’ve looked at the manuals and a million build guys today it literally has no where to go

[viral ore]

however, we dont know what the market will look like in 7-8 months

[midnight jasper]

I could send you my list so far if you want to geta better view

[viral ore]

i would say come back here when you have all the money, and you're ready to buy parts. designing a system around a set budget is easiest the sooner you ara gonna actually buy the parts

i could give you a list, but then i would just have to remake the list right before you buy things because the old list would be outdated

[midnight jasper]

ok, thanks for all the help

[viral ore]

np

[glacial umbra]

pain

everything I'm gonna buy for my build is on-sale but I don't have any money rn

power supply, ram, motherboard

all on sale

[wanton cliff]

oh my

so sad

[glacial umbra]

damn you early black friday!

[uncut nova]

soon⛸️

[glacial umbra]

nice man

having all that must feel good, what're you missing?

[uncut nova]

just waiting til tmr to build

[glacial umbra]

ah alright

[uncut nova]

me and a buddy are building one each

[glacial umbra]

that's cool, send it to build pics tommorow

[midnight jasper]

What do you guys think about this list?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D9kWcT

[uncut nova]

might as well go for a 5800 over the 3800xt

[midnight jasper]

does the mobo i have have flashbios update, this is my first rig

[uncut nova]

i'm sure that with time they'll have them preinstalled

they might not have them now

but depending on when you decide to build, they either will or won't

[midnight jasper]

idk, i will have to wait and see

[balmy patio]

lemme see if i can edit your list

[midnight jasper]

k

[glacial umbra]

is it worth waiting to play a game for when my pc is built?

like I really wanna play fallen jedi on my pc but it's free on my xbox one s

[balmy patio]

@midnight jasper do you wanna keep the 32 gb of ram or do you not need it?

[midnight jasper]

@glacial umbra just get it on the xbox
@balmy patio I would like to keep the 32gb

[balmy patio]

ok

[midnight jasper]

just changed the cpu to 3800x tho

[balmy patio]

how much storage would you like?

[midnight jasper]

3-6

tb

all SSD

[balmy patio]

ok

[midnight jasper]

I would like to change the cpu to the 7 5800x but i am waiting to see if the bios update will come on the mobo

[somber crypt]

Question on The New MSI GL 75 is the 512 SDD blank I purchased a P5 1000 SDD can I replace it without much work

[midnight jasper]

is it m.2

[somber crypt]

yes

[forest glen]

Can someone in this chat help me with my pc build?

[midnight jasper]

is all the bios on your current m.2?

[inner barn]

What's up @forest glen ?

[somber crypt]

unopened box

[forest glen]

So i dont rly understand much about building pcs so wanted some help from ppl who understand more about it than I do

I want a pc but idk what parts to get

[midnight jasper]

@somber crypt it should be very easy

@forest glen What is your price range?

[forest glen]

Was talking to my friend and he sent me a pic with some of the specs he recommends for my budget

Would $1000 get me a good pc?

[midnight jasper]

mid range

[balmy patio]

yeah it'll be alr

[somber crypt]

remove and replace, I have all of the proper tools

[midnight jasper]

yup

[forest glen]

Ok he said these would be the ones he recommends. Give me your thought as I do t understand much

[midnight jasper]

NOT THAT CPU

[balmy patio]

and not that gpu

[somber crypt]

brand spanking new do not want to screw the pooch

[inner barn]

@forest glen Try going to https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/ and plugging in your budget range. You can get an idea of what others have built, see what piques your interest and be able to hold a conversation about it.

[balmy patio]

@midnight jasper you sure you want it all in ssd? (the storage)

[forest glen]

Thanks

[midnight jasper]

yes

[balmy patio]

dang alr

what's your budget for the pc alone?

[midnight jasper]

@forest glen i would recomend the amd ryzen 5 3600x

For the pc alone about 3k

[balmy patio]

sheesh

[midnight jasper]

well, 2500

[balmy patio]

ahhh ok

[midnight jasper]

cuz monitors

[forest glen]

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/Y4vKHx is this one a good build?

[midnight jasper]

I would not go intel on this one

[balmy patio]

@midnight jasper what will you be doing with the pc?

[midnight jasper]

anything from gaming just work

[balmy patio]

sweet

[somber crypt]

thanks GeminiLJP

[midnight jasper]

ye

[forest glen]

@midnight jasper what do you think of that pc? Is it good or should I alter some things?

[midnight jasper]

a lot in my opinion, go ryzen 5 5600x, and different gpu

[forest glen]

Ok thanks

[somber crypt]

opening box later

[midnight jasper]

for the gpu i say go with 1660 super by nvidia

[still bay]

should i get cablemod cables or Lian Li Strimer cables?

[midnight jasper]

cablemod

[still bay]

modflex or modmesh?

[crude vigil]

anyone know of a good low cost wifi adapter?

[midnight jasper]

the samsug smart fridge

very fast

[proven thistle]

any recomendations for a monitor looking for a nice 144hz monitor

or even 100hz

[violet harness]

@proven thistle #old-monitors-and-tv

[summer pasture]

@forest glen https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BfgqHz

Probably over 1000 with the gpu but pretty good around 1.1k

[wanton cliff]

I literally just ordered that same mobo off amazon

[forest glen]

Thanks

[alpine thunder]

I think this is best place to put this, but I need some assistance. My monitor will turn on but it won't display. I have a Gigabyte 34" WQHD monitor.

It was working fine an hour ago before I started doing some "cable management"

[wanton cliff]

what kind of cable management

[alpine thunder]

Like gathering them all together and putting sleeves on them

[wanton cliff]

did you unplug anything?

[alpine thunder]

Everything

[wanton cliff]

what mobo are you using?

[alpine thunder]

Asus crosshair impact

X570

[wanton cliff]

does it have lights on it?

[alpine thunder]

Yup

Am I allowed to post a pic in here or do I need to put that in the other channel?

[summer pasture]

Build pics

[alpine thunder]

Alright well ill put in there real quick so you can see that its on

[wanton cliff]

@summer pasture could you handle this, I have to take csre of something

[summer pasture]

Ill try

[alpine thunder]

I dropped it in the other channel

[summer pasture]

Ok

[alpine thunder]

The lights aren't synced up anymore

The monitor is on right now, but just nothing displaying

[wanton cliff]

First thing I like to try is reseating RAM

[summer pasture]

Obviously you have checked connections

[alpine thunder]

The little gigabyte LED on the monitor is displaying to. So what happens when I reset everything is, it will display the gigabyte logo and info, and then black screen

[summer pasture]

Do you have an os installed

Also can you get into Bios

@alpine thunder

[alpine thunder]

Yup

Wait no

Os is installed

Can't get to bios

[summer pasture]

Ok so it probably is the monitor not pc

Are you using display port

[alpine thunder]

Yup

Using display port

So an hour ago it was working fine

But after I plug everything back in, its all wacky

[summer pasture]

We might need to get a techie for this one

[alpine thunder]

Please do

How do i summon one?

[summer pasture]

Just ping one

One second

[balmy patio]

what's wrong

[alpine thunder]

My monitor will turn on but won't display

[little osprey]

So...I need to enter bios but I set a password and forgot it. What do I do?

[balmy patio]

is your pc on

[summer pasture]

@earnest olive sorry didnt want to ping someone else but I couldnt figure out Prophet problem, i saw you were on.

[alpine thunder]

Pc is on

[balmy patio]

ok, so you are not getting a display at all?

[earnest olive]

i'm busy right now sorry

college app

[alpine thunder]

It will display the gigabyte logo when it first turns on the black screen

[summer pasture]

Ok sorry

Good luck

[balmy patio]

is there any debug led's on the mobo?

[violet harness]

GUYS

[balmy patio]

yeah

[alpine thunder]

Clear cmos, reset, bios

[violet harness]

SHOULD I GET A DUCKY ONE 2 mini

[balmy patio]

idek go to the keyboard nerds at #peripherals-and-displays

[alpine thunder]

Anne pro 2

@violet harness

Idk what to next

Worked fine an hour ago

[violet harness]

Hmmm

[alpine thunder]

I unplug and reply everything in, now nothing

Replug*

[violet harness]

What’s the problem??

[balmy patio]

he's not getting a display

[alpine thunder]

Monitor will turn on but won't display after gigabyte logo

[violet harness]

On his monitor?

Ah ok

Is it HDMI or display?

[alpine thunder]

Display

[summer pasture]

Do you have other RAM you can try

[alpine thunder]

None whatsoever

[violet harness]

What’s your gpu

[alpine thunder]

1060 3gb

[violet harness]

Monitor?

[alpine thunder]

Gigabyte 34" wqhd

[violet harness]

Gimme a sec

[modern pagoda]

Why are apartments called apartments when they are all stuck together?

[summer pasture]

What is your boot drive

[alpine thunder]

Uh. My what? You mean what I boot off of?

[summer pasture]

Yeah like ssd

[alpine thunder]

Like the Samsung 970 evo plus

2tb

[summer pasture]

Have you tried taking that out and putting back in that might do something

[alpine thunder]

Yup already tried

[summer pasture]

Oh

Can you get into the monitors on board settings

[alpine thunder]

Neither

So play by play this is what happens

The led comes on under the monitor, the gigabyte logo and premium freesync info comes up, then back screen, and after a while it will say display port 1 no signal

I plugged it into display port 2, and the image will come up for like 1 or 2 seconds then black screen again, and do that repeatedly at random intervals

[summer pasture]

This happened to me and all i did was unplug and put back in a few times

Have you tried flipping the switch on your power supply and turning back on

[alpine thunder]

Unplug what? The display cable or the power cable?

[violet harness]

I think the monitor is just too good for the gpu

[summer pasture]

Display

[alpine thunder]

Yup I tried turning off the power supply

@violet harness

[violet harness]

Cause that monitor is 1440p

[alpine thunder]

I would think so too

[summer pasture]

Do you have like a tv or other monitor to try

[alpine thunder]

But it ran it fine for 2 weeks straight

[alpine thunder]

No issue

[austere patrol]

Walmart wildin

[violet harness]

And I don’t think the 1060 3GB IS good enough for that

[alpine thunder]

I dont have another monitor or tv

I tried to use an hdmi as well, and nothing

[violet harness]

Yeah man

All I can say is the monitor is probably too good for the gpu

[alpine thunder]

Well dang

[violet harness]

Can u lower the res of the monitor to 1080p?

[alpine thunder]

What did I do in between now and an hour ago that made the gpu obsolete?

I cant even get anything to display

[violet harness]

I dunno

Maybe it just overheated and died

[summer pasture]

That would be my guess, try plugging the display port into the motherboard if you can

[alpine thunder]

Ok hold on

[violet harness]

@foggy hazel Thoughts?

[gilded fog]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vhMmCz
Is this a good pc for its price

[alpine thunder]

There isn't one on the mobo

I'll post another picture in the other channel so you guys can see whats up

[modern pagoda]

@gilded fog get different ram 3600 speed is recommended

[violet harness]

Kk

[gilded fog]

Ight thanks

[modern pagoda]

@gilded fog also get a matx case

[summer pasture]

@alpine thunder Is Ther Any HDMI ports on the mobo

[violet harness]

On the IO

[summer pasture]

Yeah

[alpine thunder]

Theres one and there's one more to go

[violet harness]

I’m lovin the mouse pad

[modern pagoda]

needed to update my nickname

[little osprey]

need case fans for my fractal meshify c and idk what the difference is between the arctic p12 and f12. what is the difference?

[alpine thunder]

Thanks dude

[modern pagoda]

what mouse pad

[summer pasture]

If there is any ports on the motherboard instead of the gpu that you can use try that

I have to go

[alpine thunder]

Thanks for the help@summer pasture

[violet harness]

Try contacting gigabyte

[alpine thunder]

The q code on my motherboard says 96 now and at first it was 00

[gilded fog]

Ok

[violet harness]

@alpine thunder

[alpine thunder]

Ok I will, I don't know if they allow after hours call ins cuz its 6:30pm here

I may have to wait until tomorrow

[violet harness]

Ahhh

That sucks

Btw, where did u get ur case?

I really like it

[alpine thunder]

Its originally from Korea. Its called the Kraft piat 2000. But only certain sites sell it, and there was no guarantee itd get here due to the virus, I found basically an exact replica on eBay called "powertrain riptide"

[violet harness]

Oh kk

[little osprey]

@alpine thunder are those raised?

The wrist rests

[still roost]

PROPHET#1337 has been warned

Reason: Mass mention

[little osprey]

🤣

[balmy patio]

sheesh

[alpine thunder]

Joe

You did it

[little osprey]

Are the B2 wrists rest raised?

[alpine thunder]

Or someone did

[balmy patio]

what’d i do

[alpine thunder]

Idk

@little osprey yes they are

[modern pagoda]

did u ping me

[little osprey]

Her name is B2 right? Been a while since I played

[alpine thunder]

Check the other channel

2B

[little osprey]

Ahh

Ok, close wnough

*enough

I want one, but I doubt my mom would approve

[alpine thunder]

Its back up and running

[little osprey]

Nice

[alpine thunder]

Gotta be yourself dude.

[violet harness]

NICEEE

Everything’s back @alpine thunder ?

[alpine thunder]

Everything except for my keyboard. Now thats gone out of wack

[violet harness]

All up and running?

[glacial umbra]

@alpine thunder I'm disappointed in everyway and I 100% don't want you to tell me where you got one.

[modern pagoda]

is this a good pc for my friend https://pcpartpicker.com/list/68M6QD

[glacial umbra]

;)

[little osprey]

So I now have 64GB of RAM

[still roost]

TopRanked_BOI#3523 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[alpine thunder]

Then I won't tell you that I got them off of eBay

[glacial umbra]

Ah, I certainly won't go checking for one on eBay anytime soon

I do appreciate you not telling me where you got them

[modern pagoda]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/68M6QD is it good

[whole harbor]

@stoic island sup is seagate barracuda 2tb hdd bad because

I read reviews of it saying it failed after a week

[glacial umbra]

really?

all the stuff I've heard about it is decent

[little osprey]

@whole harbor I have a seagate in my ps4 AND pc

Been that way for 3 years

Never had any issues

[whole harbor]

which kne

Barracuda?

@little osprey

[stoic island]

@whole harbor bruh

I have one

No failure

[whole harbor]

how long

[stoic island]

@whole harbor if it's bad I wouldn't suggest it

Bit more than a year

[whole harbor]

Some newegg reviews said it failed

Or sum

do u have on something caled extreme mode or sum

someone was talking abt it in the reviews

Im buying there 1tb model for $30

so i have enough for mp34

@stoic island

[stoic island]

Lmao

What

@whole harbor 90% of Newegg reviews are either dumb, or doesn't matter

[karmic anchor]

Yo I’m gonna ask the same question I did in overclock chat but I’ve overclocked a lot of cpus and never had this issue and I don’t know what it could be but when ever I boot up this computer and I makes it to the Home Screen but when I run cinebech it tends to blue screen and I really don’t know why

[stoic island]

...

[whole harbor]

professionals come help my mans

[stoic island]

It's unstable OC lmao

[karmic anchor]

It’s pretty stable I’ve triple checked it

[stoic island]

Cinebench crashes

Then it's unstable

[karmic anchor]

Same overclocked I’ve been doing for a year

[stoic island]

If you're convinced cinebench is an issue

Okay, let's try a stress test

[karmic anchor]

No

[stoic island]

Prime95 smallfft
https://www.mersenne.org/download/

[karmic anchor]

I’m not convinced cinebench is the problem lol

[stoic island]

I'm saying it's unstable OC, so let's do a stress test to see if it's unstable, windows being weird, or cinebench.

[latent storm]

does anyone here have a model o wireless

[karmic anchor]

Yea it’s unstable tried to run a game crashed

[stoic island]

Welp, the chip deteriorated since when it was once stable at whatever OC you had it at then

[karmic anchor]

Huh

I wonder how it would have deteriorated running at stock clocks for not a long time lol

[stoic island]

High voltage or high temps or just wear and tear, it happens.

Didn't you just say you've done the OC for the last year lmao @karmic anchor

[karmic anchor]

I’ve done like 6 pc builds

And I wanted to oc my personal rig but I never got around to doing it cause I’m lazy

Lol so I left my gpu and cpu clocks normal

I’m still sort of new to over clocking tho

[hazy rune]

I turned on multi core enhancement and called it a day

You probably shouldn’t do that tho lol

[karmic anchor]

ummmm what

core i7 9700k 2 rtx 2070 supers

lmao

and my new rig is gonna be better lol

lol

idk if its even an unstable overclock i think i just messed up something while changing my clocks

[jagged ember]

MR1111 pretty much just diagnosed that was the issue though

and you even confirmed it trying to run a game

[karmic anchor]

its working now on 5ghz sooo it wasn't deuterated i just messed up

[jagged ember]

oh

[karmic anchor]

yea

[jagged ember]

well, gg!

[karmic anchor]

yea but thanks @stoic island

[storm saffron]

Hi there, anyone knows if its better to buy 4 pcs of ram vs 2 pcs of 32gb using ryze 5900x and 3080 graphics card?

Around 170

[wanton cliff]

also what board you using

top speed/can you do quad channel

cause if you can do quad channel I would do 32 gigs across 4 sticks

[storm saffron]

Im waiting for the Dark hero VIII

I don’t get the difference between let say 4x8 vs 16x2. If both of them are dual rank?

[wanton cliff]

unfortunately, X570

does not support quad channel

if you want to do 32 gigs, do 2x16

at 3600mhz

[storm saffron]

How much is the good budget

[wanton cliff]

what?

I literally just ordered a 32 gig kit at 3600mhz CL16 for 150

and I even spent extra on RGB

[storm saffron]

Wait can you explain why quad channel wont work on x570?

[wanton cliff]

G.SKill

TridentZ

[alpine thunder]

@wanton cliff

[wanton cliff]

it just isnt supported @storm saffron

[versed rock]

Quad Channel is a Threadripper feature

[alpine thunder]

It happened again dude

[wanton cliff]

what did?

[versed rock]

You can USE 4 sticks.

[alpine thunder]

It worked for a bit

[wanton cliff]

but not in quad channel

[alpine thunder]

Then back to no display

[versed rock]

But, you can't use Quad Channel mode.

[storm saffron]

So i can use 4 sticks but just dual channel?

[wanton cliff]

sorry, idk man

[versed rock]

Yes.

And Ryzen 5000 gets a minor benefit with 4 sticks.

[storm saffron]

So it means 2x16 quad vs 4x8 quad are the same?

[versed rock]

Which is a curious thing

[wanton cliff]

@storm saffron yeah, and at that point dual channel (2x16) is a lot faster

[versed rock]

Ben, it depends on the CPU

Ryzen 5000 has been documented as having a minor performance benefit from 4 sticks vs 2 sticks.

[storm saffron]

Im watching gamer nexus on reviewing ram using 5000 series and he mentioned 4 stick is better

https://amp.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/jq5u1a/amd_ryzen_5000_series_four_vs_two_sticks_of_ram/

[versed rock]

I don't know HOW it gains performance, but it does.

[wanton cliff]

also, get 3600, thats the sweet spot for Zen3

[storm saffron]

So 2x16 is better?

[wanton cliff]

apparently, 4x8 is better if you are getting a Ryzen 5000 cpu

[storm saffron]

Ohh

[jagged ember]

i mean, if tech jesus says it

[wanton cliff]

ask them though, I dont know much about Vermeer

[storm saffron]

Im plaanning to get 4x8 dual channel trident

[wanton cliff]

also @versed rock, my name isnt ben, Im just paying tribute to a fallen friend

[versed rock]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[wanton cliff]

4x8 dual channel
hmmm

[versed rock]

I saw your username, I shortened it.

A 4x8 kit isn't dual channel...

It just can run in dual channel MODE

I probably will stick with getting and tuning a 2x16 Dual Rank kit.

I don't understand it either.

I just go with it

There are some things that I don't bother to learn about.

That is one of them.

[storm saffron]

So doesn’t matter if i get 2x16 or 8x4?

[versed rock]

It does, but it depends on A. The Rank Type of the Dimms, and B. What CPU you have.

In daily life, you won't notice the difference.

[storm saffron]

I have 5900x#

So I’m planning to buy my ram now

[versed rock]

So, 4x8 would be better if you can get Single Rank kits.

2x16 Dual Rank would also be good.

[storm saffron]

What is ngl?

[versed rock]

Not going to lie

[storm saffron]

Check this out on @Newegg: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZRC https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232906?Item=N82E16820232906&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-20-232-906-_-11192020

I was looking at this

[weary stirrup]

Y!?

[reef cape]

Can i get some opinions? most likely going to grab a 1660 super, but the 1650 super holding its place for now. wanted to keep it budget friendly. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Syndrome%40/saved/#view=BfyhkL

[versed rock]

1050tis are old. 1650 Supers are the new 1050ti

[storm saffron]

And how would i know if 4 stick of rams are all single kit?

[versed rock]

Single Rank you mean?

[storm saffron]

Yea

Can you please check the one i sent from newegg

[viral ore]

the one you sent is DR

[storm saffron]

Its 32gb 8x2. Cl17 cas

Cl16

[versed rock]

Single Rank vs Dual Rank is based on if the RAM has 2 sets of 1 set of Modules.

CL17?

That don't exist.

[storm saffron]

Cl16

[versed rock]

There you go.

[storm saffron]

So it’s tht a good to get?

[viral ore]

if you need 32gb of ram, sure

[storm saffron]

I can’t find a 32gb that is 4 sticks thats within my budget

[versed rock]

That's a solid kit, but why do you need 32GB?

[storm saffron]

I’m still waiting for the Asus Rog Dark hero VIII release

Do i only need 16gb?

[versed rock]

Are you Gaming?

[storm saffron]

Gaming

[viral ore]

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232883 well theres these, looser timings, but still 4x8gb

[jagged ember]

16gb is enough for gaming

[versed rock]

If you are literally just gaming, then you only need 16GB.

[viral ore]

if you're just gaming, you only need 16

[storm saffron]

Oh and i prefer RGB

[viral ore]

https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164205

ok

[versed rock]

Why though?

[storm saffron]

I just want rgb build

[versed rock]

Then just get a P400A Digital and call it a day.

[little osprey]

^

[versed rock]

It's a 90 dollar ish case that comes with 3 RGB fans.

You don't need much more RGB than that.

[storm saffron]

I already hve a case and fans

[stoic island]

TD500 mesh for 100$ also an option

[versed rock]

I swear, if it is a H510 or H500...

[storm saffron]

I just need to find the ram

[versed rock]

I will find a way to slap you silly through the internet.

What is the case?

[storm saffron]

I have the lianli mesh

Lianli II mesh

[viral ore]

lancool mesh?

[versed rock]

Lancool 2 Mesh?

[storm saffron]

Yes

[viral ore]

nice

[storm saffron]

Lancool

[versed rock]

It's ok at best.

[little osprey]

doesnt the p400a digital have 4 fans? 3 intake one exhaust?

[versed rock]

3 fans

3 intake

[wanton cliff]

who was I talking with about RAM ( @rich lotus ?) I can show you the kit I got

[versed rock]

That's all it needs

[wanton cliff]

the 32 gb one

[viral ore]

so, you have already ordered the 5900x? whats the budget for the rest of your system?

[storm saffron]

I’m leaning toward g trident z ram so if you hve anything you can recomment me

[versed rock]

Adding 1 exhaust is basically pointless for Thermals.

[viral ore]

@storm saffron https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164205

[versed rock]

I recommend not spending more for pointless RGB RAM.

[stoic island]

meh

[jagged ember]

he wants the rgb tho

so

[viral ore]

this is cheap rgb ram

[wanton cliff]

@storm saffron how much do you want to pay for your ram and how much RAM do you want exactly

[versed rock]

You aren't going to hardly see it

[stoic island]

Ballistix rgb is good

[storm saffron]

Is tht a good brand?

[viral ore]

its only like 15 more

[stoic island]

Trident z rgb/neo is decent

Ballistix is really good

[wanton cliff]

I lean towards TridentZ

[versed rock]

Crucial? Crucial is like, THE RAM company.

[viral ore]

is crucial good he asks lol

[wanton cliff]

Crucial and G.Skill yeah

[jagged ember]

Crucial is named that for a reason

[wanton cliff]

those are the good companies

[storm saffron]

I guess if there is 32gb willing to pay max of 200

[versed rock]

Crucial has been making RAM since before a lot of you here have been alive.

[viral ore]

get 2x8 now

[stoic island]

@storm saffron you know Micron, the people that makes like half the ram chips in the world? They own Crucial.

[versed rock]

Including myself.

[viral ore]

upgrade if need be later

[jagged ember]

Or get 2 x16

[viral ore]

nah

[storm saffron]

Yes

[jagged ember]

But whatever fits your budget and needs

[viral ore]

2x8 would be best imo

[jagged ember]

What are they doing again?

[viral ore]

gamin

[jagged ember]

Ahh

Debatable, but 8gb is enough for gaming still

[wanton cliff]

better to have 32 gigs than 16 if you are willing to pay for it

[viral ore]

yeah

[storm saffron]

I might download some software too like Cad/ solidworks

[jagged ember]

I rarely reach 16gb usage unless I'm opening many things while gaming

[viral ore]

yeah, 16 is plenty

[wanton cliff]

if you are using CAD then def 32 gigs

[storm saffron]

So if 16 is enought then 16

Yes

[jagged ember]

Cad for what though

[viral ore]

i run tons of things, including inventor 2019, hardly need 16gb

[jagged ember]

For fun or for work

[wanton cliff]

or both

at the same time

[storm saffron]

Work/both

[jagged ember]

Or both true

[versed rock]

If it's for work, get 32GB.

If not 64GB

[storm saffron]

It’s for my own use

[wanton cliff]

wait for CAD or whatever to render while playing COD Cold War

[versed rock]

For work...?

[storm saffron]

So im gonna aim for 32gb

[versed rock]

Like, will you be making a living from CAD?

[wanton cliff]

if a living, 64

[storm saffron]

Not making a living

[wanton cliff]

ok

[versed rock]

Ok, 16GB is enough.

[storm saffron]

Yea ok 16gb is fine

[wanton cliff]

or, like I said: wait for CAD to render while playing Cold War or whatever

[storm saffron]

Lol

[wanton cliff]

32 gigs minimum is necessary

and it is more or less doable with a 3080 and a 5600X

was it? even better

[storm saffron]

How much is the price difference between 32gb and 16?

[viral ore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sFtHW3 heres your baseline @storm saffron

[wanton cliff]

32 gigs is about twice as much, give or take

[sinful hornet]

it might have to become a rule that the belle delphine pc can no longer be posted in #build-pics lmao

[storm saffron]

Ok just 16gb then

I kinda calculate my pc build and it will cost me around 2.8k

[viral ore]

the list i sent will cost you about 1020

is there anything you dont like about it

wait

needs cpu cooler still

[storm saffron]

I already bought the parts

I just need aio, motherboard and ram

[viral ore]

you bought cpu and case, right?

[storm saffron]

All i need is mobo,ram, and aio

[zinc marsh]

2k? Is this in usd?

[storm saffron]

Usd yea

[viral ore]

so you dont need PSU, SSD, or GPU?

[storm saffron]

Yea

[wanton cliff]

question: on Zen2, what is the real difference between 2x16 in dual channel and 4x8 on the same mobo?

[viral ore]

what PSU and SSD did you get?

[storm saffron]

I hve 850w seasonic platinum, i have 2 M.2. One is sn 750 and 1 is 970 samsung evo

[viral ore]

oh, fantastic

[wanton cliff]

evo plus or...?

[storm saffron]

Both 1 tb

Yea evo plus

[sinful hornet]

lmao

[wanton cliff]

wait

belle delphine pc?

[sinful hornet]

i still dont have /reply ;-;

[storm saffron]

I am planning to get the x73 nzxt aio

[little osprey]

you on pc rn?

[viral ore]

do you need wifi?

or are you gonna be using ethernet

[wanton cliff]

why tf did I look that up

[storm saffron]

Yea i need wifi

[sinful hornet]

ye, and i updated client today

[little osprey]

have you tried the 3 dots?

[sinful hornet]

oh

[storm saffron]

I want to get the dark hero VIII so I don’t hve to flash the bios for ryzen 5900x

[wanton cliff]

WiFi card or built in for @storm saffron

[little osprey]

lol

[storm saffron]

The dark hero has a wifi 6 already included

[sinful hornet]

theres a picture in #build-pics

[little osprey]

^

[viral ore]

dont get that board

[storm saffron]

Why?

[viral ore]

you dont need the features it offers

[storm saffron]

What should i get then?

[slow niche]

yo yo yo

[storm saffron]

I kinda the like thw looks of the asus

[viral ore]

thoughts on this https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b550-aorus-pro-ac/p/N82E16813145216

[sinful hornet]

thats cause the asus is like, a 600$ mobo, is it not?

like, ofc its gonna look good

fekin better at least

[wanton cliff]

I prefer X570 over B550. Just me.

[zinc marsh]

The asus one doesn’t have a very good VRM, from what I’ve heard

[sinful hornet]

thats the mobo im getting, the aorus one, looks amazing to me

[viral ore]

the aorus boards are solid, good enough for the price

the VRMs are fine

[little osprey]

WOWOWOW

the 9900K is $300

$299.99 USD at microcenter holy crap

[storm saffron]

So the new Dark hero VIIi is not good?

Ill be back just have tk eat dinner

[sinful hornet]

just seems expensive as fuk

[little osprey]

yes

https://www.microcenter.com/product/512483/intel-core-i9-9900k-coffee-lake-36ghz-eight-core-lga-1151-boxed-processor

[little osprey]

$400 OFF

WOW

the 9900k is such a beast

[jagged ember]

Lol

Not anymorw

[storm saffron]

Isn’t if i get the aorus one i have to flash the bios?

[cursive magnet]

Sata??

[flint kite]

@cursive magnet @rich lotus thank you

[jagged ember]

why are we recommending he get a samsung drive

we know there are better options like the MP34 or SN750

if it's below MSRP then it's fine

[woven kraken]

is B&H a trustworthy site

[little osprey]

wait

[cursive magnet]

860 evo is SATA, simply No

[little osprey]

how does the "ASUS Z390-P Prime Intel LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard" compare to the "ASRock Z390 PRO4 Intel LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard"???

[jagged ember]

sn750 is wd

[little osprey]

theyre the same price but like

[plush mist]

not much

30-40 bucks

[little osprey]

alright its fine

well ones asus and the others asrock

[plush mist]

wait

[little osprey]

and one looks more smexy than the other

[plush mist]

are u talking about western digital hdd

[jagged ember]

[plush mist]

ohh ok

nvm

[little osprey]

yeah ik it was a matter of factly

[jagged ember]

you have to compare the features and stuff

can't really just buy something because it looks good and is a certain brand

wait, that's apple

[little osprey]

lmaooo

yeah ik ik

[rough loom]

I have a 6700k, 240 AIO, z170 gigabyte gaming 7, 24 gigs 2400 ram, 1070 FTW, 500 gig samsung 850 ssd, and a 1 TB HD in a H500M case. probably get like a 650 watt PSU for it, only thing Im missing. How much you think I should sell it for? to all the send hand selling masters out there

[little osprey]

i did some quick research and theyre practically the same since theyre the same price so i just went with aesthetics

Eh

If a CPU light keeps coming on and your motherboard..

And it won't boot

$1150? idk

id guess

or lower

Would you just buy another motherboard and troubleshoot?

Iv tried everything checked everything

So discouraged

I was overclocked yes

the arctic liquid freezer ii is really good, yes? i saw temps for a 3950x under load and it was insanely good

on gamers nexus' website

But wpuld't clearing the CMOS fix that

Everything was fine all I did was take a fan cooler off and put a liquid cooler on and I believe when I was taking the fan cooler off pushing down on the brackets maybe that caused the pins to bend or something

The only thing I can think of is that the CPU isn't sitting properly on the socket

Because literally the PC was fine

lmFAO

mY friend has a 3950x cooled by a hyper 212

ahahahahha

i built it for him, too

I tried reseating it like four times

he got a matx nzxt case instead of the o11d

[raw mist]

whats a good micro atx case with decent rgb?

[little osprey]

and he had to return the 360mm aio

Well there's no pins on the CPU it's an Intel chip

[little osprey]

well dont you want performance>rgb?

the 275r airflow is good except no rgb. really good airflow and 3 included fans

Yes

its inexpensive too but not too cheap

[raw mist]

@little osprey well i want the aesthetics haha im doing a black/red rgb theme build since my room is red and black

[little osprey]

It's a 9600k

well ok then whats ur budget

for your case

specifically

[raw mist]

70-90 buck

[little osprey]

hm ok

how many included fans

crystal 280x is good

[raw mist]

doesnt matter tbh, id prolly get rgb fans anyways for the theme

[little osprey]

but thats not in the 70-90 buck range

wait so aesthetics?? but no rgb needed? what

look for a mesh matx case

those have really good performance and airflow

[raw mist]

it has to look decent lmao but yeah thanks for ur help

[little osprey]

Cleared

Cmos

yeah at that price id go for performance/airflow over aesthetics tbh

you either have this or that you cant have it all unless you really have that big of a budget

[raw mist]

@little osprey https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fpcBqp so this is my list, but i wanna size down the motherboard to save some money, and the case would be sized down too cus i dont like the look of a matx in an atx case

[little osprey]

for my build list it comes with 3 included fans, 2 in the front with space for a 360mm, one in the back for exhaust, and the aio is 280mm so i literally have 5 fans without needing to get more

[raw mist]

its CAD which is why the price is high btw

[little osprey]

if youre concerned about how an matx mobo looks in an atx case, there's not much to be concerned about. its not a noticeable different unless your case is massive like the o11d, then you have to make up for that empty space

why not go for the 5700XT? its not that big of a price difference and it has a good performance boost

[raw mist]

tbh its how high the gpu sits that bothers me, but i guess i could vertically mount it

[little osprey]

yeah but if you vertically mount it you need to spend more to get a bracket but if you can then sure

[raw mist]

yeah i was thinking 5700xt or save up if the 6700xt comes out

how much do the brackets cost?

[little osprey]

personally i could cut back on the rgb but like you do you

like $25

or $30 in US but idk about u

imo this card would look sick vertically mounted, plus its $400 so

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Triple-Dissipation-Graphics-RX-57XT83LD8/dp/B087J3KM2X/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=5700XT&qid=1605838300&sr=8-4

[raw mist]

again, it would be for the theme, i know i could save a lot without rgb but its my first build and i want the black/red rgb yk

[little osprey]

and its a 5700xt

[raw mist]

i meant canadian dollars lol

[little osprey]

yeah ok then

i used to be like you lmao

id make the list and its all rgb and its super pricey and id have to make sacrifices for the budget but you do you

also get the lian li lancool mesh

[raw mist]

oh yeah that looks good haha, the 5600xt also might look good vertically mounted too im just trying to save some money on the gpu cus i wanted the rgb haha

[ebon island]

hello, can someone help me chose a mobo

[raw mist]

can u make a build under 1100 usd with good rgb? or 1400 CAD?

[raw mist]

what build u got?

[summer pasture]

Yes

[ebon island]

ill be getting a ryzen 5 or 7, been doing a lot of research into mobos, ive come down to the b450 tomahawk max and the b550 a-pro.. considering prices as well in CAD

[little osprey]

yeah you could

just you have to make a lot of sacrifices

[wanton cliff]

ryzen 5 or 7 which generation?

[little osprey]

fs

[ebon island]

oh, 3rd gen i think

[raw mist]

if your in Canada, the b550 a pro is good cus its not a big price difference anymore

[ebon island]

they have flash bios

yeh its $20 difference

[raw mist]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/PDsnTW/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi @ebon island

this ones great too

for a pretty gud price

its just matx

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tGjsp2

i plan to get a ftw3 hybrid 1080ti

[ebon island]

yeh i dont think i want micro atx cause what if deals and stuff make me end up buying a really big GPU

[little osprey]

people say to get a used 2070s but the 1080ti is actually faster in some situations despite the loss of raytracing

[raw mist]

u can still have a big gpu in the matx

[little osprey]

Is a 1650 and an i3 9100 good for br gamez

yeah you can cram it in

[raw mist]

lol just use a atx case

[little osprey]

if its a 3 fan mega one

it probably wont? idk but 2 fan guaranteed

Can a i3 9100f and a gtx 1650 guaranteed 165hz

[still bay]

Hey guys so I just built a new pc and I’m getting no signal.

I already tried with a WORKING graphics cards so it’s not the GPU

My theory is it’s the mother board?

[little osprey]

check the light

[ebon island]

ok ill probs get the b550-a pro.. just needed to know if a-pro was better than tomahawk, cause pretty sure the gaming plus ones are 3rd

[little osprey]

the power led if it doesnt have one then

hm

nice case

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk im not a tech support kinda guy

[still bay]

Thanks

[little osprey]

yeah sorry

this is a con of building pcs

no tech support

[ebon island]

whats a good contender for the GTX 1660? i kind of want to get one on a black friday deal to use for a few years till ray tracing and the other new features are more worth it

oh i realize what this chat is for now

ill re-ask in the graphics-cards chat

[next kestrel]

so you've tested the GPU?

honestly try cmos reset then ram reseat

[still bay]

Ok how do I reset cmos

[next kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdp_L5IxaNI

[wanton cliff]

yeah thats better than I could have explained it

[still bay]

Wdym ram reseat

[wanton cliff]

take ram out, put it back in

make sure it clicks goodly

[still bay]

IT WAS YHE RAM

ITS ALIVE

[wanton cliff]

it always is

[wanton cliff]

if it happens again, make sure it clicks REALLY GUD

ram is more resilient than most parts

depending on the kit

[next kestrel]

eh

ive seen many problems on old pcs that were just faulty ram

[wanton cliff]

same

Single Channel for gaming on a thousand dollar PC

EUGH

and only 8 gigs at that

skytech

EUGH

@still bay is it working well? shows the appropriate amount of RAM at the appropriate speeds?

[still bay]

Yes it working downloading windows rn

[storm saffron]

Hi again, any X570 motherboard that is good?

[still bay]

yeah

whats ur budget @storm saffron

[storm saffron]

Around 400

[still bay]

for a motherboard?

or for the whole pc

[storm saffron]

Motherboard

[still bay]

send me ur parts list

thats a crazy high budget btw, a SUPER nice motherboard (like the highest end motherboard u could get) is like 300-400

[sinful hornet]

yea, im pretty sure he was gonna get a dark hero earlier

[spring whale]

anyone think they can help me out, here in a few months i'm looking to build my first pc. friend of mine showed me pcpartspicker.com but was wondering if someone had a good build for like a 2000usd budget I could look at and go off of.

[sinful hornet]

could get something like the MSI carbon wifi, or the taichi or the aorus ultra

[sinful hornet]

i'd reccomend buying what you can on black friday/cyber monday if theres really good deals on it, then again its a bit of a gamble because if somethings DOA you might not get to return it, depending on what the product warrenty entails

[spring whale]

@sinful hornet I will keep that in mind, appreciate the advice

[zinc marsh]

You can make a sandwich!

[little osprey]

I told my son it had some bent pins he just had to jack it up

[drifting garnet]

Yum

[warm crystal]

hi

[drifting garnet]

Yo

[warm crystal]

whats up

[drifting garnet]

Nothing much.

[warm crystal]

do u think the glourious model o wireless is worth it

very random but yeh

[drifting garnet]

I dont know, people seem to like it so much for some reason. Just look at some reviews but not just on amazon.

Like critic reviews.

[warm crystal]

yeh

cause im going to get my first pc soon

[drifting garnet]

Same here.

[warm crystal]

so i need a good setup

rn my laptop is an intel i3 7th gen

[drifting garnet]

I have i5 8th gen in my current laptop that I use.

[warm crystal]

nice

one time i was gonna enter a giveaway for xbox ultimate

but my laptop was to bad

lol

[zinc marsh]

that's kinda an overkill cpu for a chromebook

[sinful hornet]

what...

[drifting garnet]

Really, is it that bad? I3 shouldn't be that bad. Is it hdd or somethin?

[sinful hornet]

that poor motherboard...

[drifting garnet]

Yeah lol

[warm crystal]

yeh

[zinc marsh]

it's good sandwich material

[warm crystal]

the offical specs ay u need an 8thgen i5 at least

[drifting garnet]

Ok, my cousin totally disregarded what laptop I told him to buy and ended up with a piece of crap.

[warm crystal]

lol

[drifting garnet]

For what?

[warm crystal]

for xbox gamepass ultimate

[drifting garnet]

Oh, that makes more sense.

[warm crystal]

feel bad for him but its his fault for not listening to u

[drifting garnet]

You could probably do I3 or Ryzen 3 with a good graphics card.

Was that just recommended?

[warm crystal]

not it was minimum requirments

[drifting garnet]

Hmm interesting. I wonder why that would be.

[zinc marsh]

they have minimum requirements for xbox gamepass on pc?

why??

[drifting garnet]

Yeah?!?!

[warm crystal]

so u dont buy it and relise it doesnt work

[zinc marsh]

well yeah but all games are gonna have different requirements'

[drifting garnet]

Well what if I had ryzen 3 but 2060 or sumthin?

[drifting garnet]

Yeah

[warm crystal]

thats why its the minimum

even i dont understand that well

[drifting garnet]

I dont get it either.

[zinc marsh]

also that cpu seems like a bit much

[warm crystal]

ik

idk

its weird

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, fax.

[zinc marsh]

I'm running a i5 7400 and I can run most games

[drifting garnet]

7400 is fine in 2020.

[zinc marsh]

it's alright

[warm crystal]

on a laptop if ur getting an intel 10th gen ur just overkill lol

[zinc marsh]

I really want to upgrade but it works

[warm crystal]

unless its a gaming one

[drifting garnet]

AMD is better IMO.

[warm crystal]

i run a i3 7th gen

[drifting garnet]

Better value and performance.

[warm crystal]

yeh but im talking laptop

s

i agreed amd is better imo

[severe axle]

there are ryzen laptops

[zinc marsh]

yeah I wanna just build a whole new pc but god prices are so expensive and everything is literally out of stock

[warm crystal]

few tho

[severe axle]

4000 series

[warm crystal]

ik

if u wanna buy any ryzen 5k series

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, intel i feel is more popular in laptops but ryzen is still out there.

[warm crystal]

even a 5600x

[zinc marsh]

yeah I wanna buy a 5600x and a 3070

[warm crystal]

intel for laptops is more popular cause of how they buy then in bulk

[zinc marsh]

2 parts I'd be waiting literal ages for

[warm crystal]

so its more cheap

then they can flex

[drifting garnet]

Yep, especially zen 3 and 3000 series Nvidia.

[drifting garnet]

Good luck lol.

[warm crystal]

im waiting to get a good build

[zinc marsh]

I dont even know my budget yet

[drifting garnet]

I am getting mine for Christmas.

[zinc marsh]

I'm waiting for christmas

[warm crystal]

i can get it for my bday in 9 months

or for christmas

but ill wait

[zinc marsh]

yeah I asked for money so I would know what I'm working with before I go out and start

[warm crystal]

so i can actually buy the fricking thing

[drifting garnet]

If you wait, there will be much more availability on parts.

[warm crystal]

ik

so im waiting

my dad said i should wait for my bday for prices to drop but they wont

cause nothings probably gonna come out

[severe axle]

prices won't drop on new stuff (5600x/3070)

[warm crystal]

ik

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, they won't be so sold out tho.

[zinc marsh]

Yeah even a lot of parts that are in stock rn are hella over priced

[drifting garnet]

True

[zinc marsh]

The 3600 is up by atleast like 50 bucks it’s usual price rn

[drifting garnet]

3070?

[warm crystal]

i remember i was gonna buy an rtx 2080 cause i was stupid and didnt see that it was a super and not a ti

lol

[zinc marsh]

3600*

[drifting garnet]

That is what I'm getting for Xmas.

[warm crystal]

cool

[drifting garnet]

I am exited. 🙂

[warm crystal]

does it make sense to upgrade like one or 2 parts of ur pc every other year

[zinc marsh]

Rn the 3600x is almost the same price as the 3600

[drifting garnet]

Depends on if you need it and what parts.

[warm crystal]

true

[drifting garnet]

True, it'll told my dad to get what was cheaper because it doesn't make that much of a difference.

[warm crystal]

if the rtx 3060 comes out will any of u guys get it

i probably wont

[zinc marsh]

I mean rn id go a 3600x because for the very small increase in price it’s worth it

[warm crystal]

tho its amazing value

[zinc marsh]

I really don’t know what I can get yet, I’m just waiting for Christmas money lol

[severe axle]

I'd just wait until 3600 goes back to $200

[drifting garnet]

No, too much money.

[severe axle]

but it costs more now

[zinc marsh]

I’d wait for it to go to like 170

[drifting garnet]

Ok

[severe axle]

hmm I usually see it at $200

[zinc marsh]

A few weeks ago it was like 170

[drifting garnet]

Same

[zinc marsh]

More like 2 months ago

Every once in awhile you see it go cheap

[drifting garnet]

Yeah before this whole pandemic.

[zinc marsh]

Nah it was like 170 during the pandemic

[drifting garnet]

Fr??
