very nice

ember jetty
#

I'm trying again

brazen slate
#

Uh oh

jagged ember
#

wait how are you turning on your pc

brazen slate
#

Wouldn't really assume it'll be fine after that happened

ember jetty
#

The rgb kinda clunky

#

The fan RGB isn't working

brazen slate
#

Probably unplugged

jagged ember
#

plug harder

scenic turret
brazen slate
#

Happened to me once, it disconnected for some reason

ember jetty
#

And I'm a dummy

#

I unplugged the rgb thing somehow

brazen slate
#

yeah lol

scenic turret
jagged ember
#

no, not you sunbreaker

#

plugging harder won't work in your case lol

scenic turret
#

Lol

brazen slate
#

So I after a while I noticed the cpu fan wasn't even connected, somehow disconnected as I was trying to CMOS my mobo

ember jetty
#

Try 3

scenic turret
#

Seriously though, it boots then goes into Asus Automatic Repair, then reboots again

ember jetty
#

The fans are on crack

scenic turret
#

Never happened to me before

jagged ember
#

okay

#

try doing 3 hard shutdowns in a row

#

on the third one it should toss you into recovery environment

scenic turret
#

K ill try that then

jagged ember
#

WAIT

scenic turret
#

Waiting

jagged ember
#

your boot order has the USBs in the last

#

right?

ember jetty
scenic turret
#

Yes but I can manually select to boot from usb

ember jetty
#

2 fans not doing RGB

jagged ember
#

yes, do that

scenic turret
#

I did that but it has the same issue

jagged ember
#

boot from the USB after you plug in the usb with windows installer

#

unless you already did that and it doesnt work lol

scenic turret
#

I tried that previously

#

Didn't work

jagged ember
#

man, that's wack

scenic turret
#

Ok 3 restart time

jagged ember
#

okay, then do hard shutdown 3 times

ember jetty
#

The CPU fan has RGB

jagged ember
#

like turn it on, and hold your pwer button until it turns off

ember jetty
#

Now no fan has rgb

#

They are spinning

jagged ember
#

are your connections secure?

#

rgb connections

scenic turret
#

Yes

ember jetty
#

Lemme check

jagged ember
#

oh, talking to chansenpi

scenic turret
#

Nvm, you were asking chan

jagged ember
#

sorry for the confusion sun

scenic turret

Alright, now that I'm going to have the MSI Gaming X Trio 3080, I'd like to get some new recommendations for monitors. I'm aiming for a dual monitor setup, but if a pricey main monitor is offered, I might just go with a single for now. I'd like at least 1440p with 144hz and 27" is a must, but can't be any larger. I want to utilize the potential of my 3080 paired with my hopefully soon to be 5900x.
If I could also get some case recommendations now that I'm getting a massive GPU that would be awesome as well.

jagged ember
#

which hard shutdown was this sun?

#

1st, second or third

exotic carbon
#

@soft solstice ASUS TUF VG27AQ

ember jetty
#

Fans still not working

#

RGB mean

exotic carbon
#

@soft solstice the VIEWSONIC ELITE XG270QG is good as well

ember jetty
#

I turned it on again

#

1 fan partially working

#

Maybe RGB pins are put in wrong

scenic turret
exotic carbon
#

@soft solstice if you want g-sync then go with the veiwsonic one

jagged ember
#

okay, third

#

that's odd, it should have booted into windows recovery environment

scenic turret
#

Ikr

#

Let's see if I create another windows media creation tool

exotic carbon
#

yeah try that

jagged ember
#

you can also try spamming f8 i think to enter windows boot manager and selecting windows 10

#

while booting up

scenic turret
#

Ok

gloomy merlin
jagged ember
#

tirepc

gloomy merlin
#

ull like it

jagged ember
#

i like all the things sticking out

scenic turret
#

It did do something, but I booted to my m.2

jagged ember
#

very mcgyver

ember jetty
#

Noice pc

scenic turret
#

I should of booted to usb

jagged ember
#

no, i think that's fine

gloomy merlin
#

or this one

jagged ember
#

keep it booting to your m.2 for now

scenic turret
#

It's bootlooping again

jagged ember
#

hopefully it says 'your pc did not start correctly'

exotic carbon
#

yes cardboard

ember jetty
#

Now none of the fan RGB works

exotic carbon
#

huh...

jagged ember
#

honestly your pc is acting kinda weird sun

#

try reinstalling the windows installer on your USB and booting from it

brazen slate
jagged ember
#

does it have top exhaust?

ember jetty
#

Confusion

#

What is VGA

jagged ember
#

unplug and replug rgb connections

ember jetty
#

Because a indicator says VGA with a light next to it

jagged ember
#
ember jetty
#

Ahh

#

So VDG and RGB are different

jagged ember
#

basically, plugging in your VDG into 5v rgb header should allow it to work

#

I think....

ember jetty
#

5v RGB?

#

One of the white ports?

scenic turret
jagged ember
#

yeahi i think so Chan

scenic turret
#

Maybe my last usb was in NTSF and not Fat32

jagged ember
#

did you try plugging it into the white port yet?

ember jetty
#

Nope

scenic turret
#

Nvm it was also Fat32

#

Wait do we need an absolute minimum of 8gb for media installer

jagged ember
#

yes

scenic turret
#

Ffs

#

Maybe that's why

jagged ember
#

it says on the site lol

ember jetty
#

RGB still no work

scenic turret
#

My USB I used previously was 7.5gb

#

Which makes no sense

jagged ember
#

wack

scenic turret
#

New usb is 16gb

jagged ember
#

honestly, i'm not a professional rgb man

scenic turret
#

But still doesn't make sense

ember jetty
#

I'll just remove the mobo RGB thing

scenic turret
#

It was running before

jagged ember
#

the most rgb i have had is my molex powered rgb fans

ember jetty
#

Lol

#

RGB still no work XD

jagged ember
#

so it's literally just plug and play for what linus calls 'rgwannab'

scenic turret
#

Lol

ember jetty
#

Lol

jagged ember
#

i'd just leave the rgb for another day i think

#

i'd probably check if the entire system boots first

ember jetty
#

Ok

#

Gotta wait for gpu to be available then

scenic turret
#

Don't you love how long it takes for media key to be created

mystic needle
#

i don’t see many going for nzxt coolers

#

currently priced at 150 btw

#

us dollars

scenic turret
jagged ember
#

no, rear io

scenic turret
#

Ok that's fine then

south jungle
#

Here's my list so far trying to decide on RAM (at least 16GB or more), PSU, also need more fans as I only have the fans included with case and AIO cooler. Also need to choose storage and other suggestions you guys might have thanks!

~I should also mention that the 3070 is the GPU I'm getting but I'm not sure which one is as I have a friend who was able to order one for me~

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tZV4p2

#

@mystic needle yes it is

quasi snow
#

@mystic needle That's absolutely a solid cooler but for 50 dollars less the arctic freezer does a hair better

south jungle
#

I got the X73 for about $161 so I chose that one it came in today

mystic needle
#

arctic freezer?

#

i’ll go check 😎

south jungle
#

Yeah that's a better cooler from what I've heard it got #1 on a few lists

#

At least I think it did

scenic turret
#

I just found out you can reset your m.2 via bios

#

Doing that now

mystic needle
#

Arctic cooling liquid freezer

#

oh yesyes

scenic turret
#

Yep I can confirm now that my original media tool key usb is broken af

#

Hopefully with the new install, it should be fine

ember jetty
#

I've been here building pc for years

#

Trying to find out the rgb conundrum

midnight jasper
#

if i get a 7 3800x would it be able to hold up a 3080?

ember jetty
#

Yes probably

midnight jasper
#

aight

ember jetty
midnight jasper
#

ember jetty
#

#

Its a cylinder

ember jetty
#

Wow

#

Big brain

#

What does it mean?

jagged ember
#

Hdd led

scenic turret
#

Idk anymore

#

New boot drive, clear original m.2

#

Doesn't work

jagged ember
#

Then me neither

#

If full windows reinstall doesn't work

cloud oasis
#

Whats the problem

scenic turret
#

Even reupdated bios

#

Basically my PC I just build was working for an hour then crashed and now in a bootloop

#

I can still access bios but I can no longer load windows

#

I also reset my m.2 already as well

cloud oasis
#

What mobo

scenic turret
#

Asus ROG B550-A

#

It was working beautifully for the first hour

#

My m.2 is a WD Black SN750 500gb

viral ore
#

scenic turret
#

I'm trying to reinstall windows now with the rest m.2, still not working

cloud oasis
#

Did u check the boot order

scenic turret
#

I tried cmos countless of times

viral ore
#

what about it isnt working

#

#

does bios appear

scenic turret
#

Yep I even set boot order intially as Windos said

viral ore
#

does window susb boot

cloud oasis
#

Or

scenic turret
#

Yes bios appears

cloud oasis
#

Restart pc and hit esc

viral ore
#

so you can access the bios

cloud oasis
#

And do the auto repair

scenic turret
#

Auto repair crash and reboots each time

cloud oasis
#

If u have windows

scenic turret
#

No windows rn

#

Had to reset

viral ore
#

the previous install of windows fails on boot correct?

scenic turret
#

Yes

viral ore
#

how far did it get?

scenic turret
#

So I reseted that m.2

cloud oasis
#

Can u access cmd prompt

scenic turret
#

Basically boot screen comes on then it automically goes into Asus auto repair then crashes then reboots constantly

#

Again no windows for CMD prompt

cloud oasis
#

Ok

scenic turret
#

Potential m.2 failure?

viral ore
#

sounds like a borked windows install

#

not worth recovering

#

did you have any important data on the ssd?

scenic turret
#

Nope

viral ore
#

thats good

scenic turret
#

I already reset that m.2

#

But I can't still boot into a new window

viral ore
#

reinstall windows, do you have a windows install usb?

scenic turret
#

Even with a new usb media tool

cloud oasis
#

Would fixing the boot order help

scenic turret
#

I tried already

viral ore
#

so, boot from usb with windows and?

#

does win installer appear?

scenic turret
#

Doesn't want to boot from usb

viral ore

scenic turret

ASUS ROG B550-A (NEWEST bios update)

So I've built my PC today. It booted and worked for an hour before crashing. However after crashing it continually rebooted and gave me an Asus Auto Repair and rebooting continuously. I tried unseating and reseating ram, gpu, and M.2 drive. I asked other discord servers and they told me to reinstall windows. I tired that but it didn't work. Then I proceeded to wipe my m.2 so I can have a fresh install. Still could not reload windows. I create two more media creation tool usbs, yet it doesn't work. Could I have faulty parts or some errors? Current state is that it posts/can access bios but won't load into windows media tool via usb.

I have another Samsung Evo M.2 coming just in case

....basically the words

cloud oasis

Send a vid of u trying to boot

#

If u can

little osprey

What motherboard

#

@scenic turret

scenic turret
scenic turret
little osprey
#

you sure bios is updated?

scenic turret
#

Yes

viral ore
#

system POST succeeds

#

bios is functional

#

any hardware related issue would be related to the system having issues that werent detected by post

#

imo, remove all storage devices, boot it up

#

what it do

cloud oasis
#

Take out ssd and put it back in

viral ore
#

after the system either stalls due to the inability to locate a bootable device, or boot loops, continuing to look for one, reinstall a known good storage drive and try to boot from your windows install usb

scenic turret
#

Ok I did uninstall and install the same M.2 to my secondary slot already but it didn't work

viral ore
#

try leaving it out

ornate solstice
scenic turret
#

I'll try in a few hours, going to sleep now

viral ore
#

in fact, try booting your windows install usb with no drives installed

#

ok gn

I'll let you know how it goes

I'm looking to add a new hard drive to my computer for all my small games(I have a lot, taking up most of my hard drive space)

#

Looking at this

gleaming quartz
#

they are both hard disk drivespain

little osprey
#

They're small games, I don't need a ssd for those

#

I already have an nvme for my bigger games like borderlands and Destiny 2

#

@gleaming quartz

#

And I'm on a tight budget

little osprey
#

That WD Red is pushing my budget

#

@gleaming quartz I need more than a TB

#

That why I posted a 2 and a 4tb

#

Also sorry for the pings, it's a habit

#

If I wanted a 1tb I would get a GX2

#

I just got my first 1-to-3 fan splitters yesterday. is there supposed to be two ends of the splits having three pins and one of the splits having four pins?

#

I can get a picture if it's needed

granite imp
analog hearth
#

I have four in my system, but the exhaust (one of the fans, obviously) is already connected to my mobo. the other three (intakes) are connected directly to my PSU

granite imp
#

Wait, so the one end of the splitter that goes to mobo header has 4 holes? And then 3 connection come off of that, and 2 out of the 3 are 3 pin and one of them is 4 pin?

#

Can you link me to the product page of the splitter you got?

analog hearth
#

here I'll get photos lol

granite imp
#

This is why I use a fan hub

analog hearth
#

There are two splits like the one on top (three pins) and then that middle one is the only four pin. The one with holes is the main input

#

the 3-pins both have that split

little osprey
#

Ummmm those that have the three pins look like one broke off

#

Usually 3 pin connectors look just like 4 pins, but well, with one less

#

@analog hearth

arctic jungle
#

gib link

#

unless it's the corsair one

granite imp
arctic jungle
#

ug

#

corsair hub

#

gross

granite imp
#

Lol

#

But it looks so purdy

arctic jungle
#

proprietary tech 🙄

granite imp
#

Corsair case, Corsair fans, Corsair psu.

#

Just gotta replace my mouse and headset with Corsair

granite imp
arctic jungle
#

yeah

#

thas fair

granite imp
#

I don’t mind the brown, but then getting another other parts to match is hard

#

Like I’d love an earth tone build. But good luck finding case mobo and gpu that match

arctic jungle
#

mobo is ez

#

i have a build with brown mobo

winged tinsel
#

Do cpus come with thermal paste?

vale turtle
#

depends

#

if it comes with a cooler the cooler will have thermal paste on it

#

but if you are planning to buy a cooler for it

#

youll need to buy thermal paste

gentle bobcat
#

Question, would CMW16GX4M2D3600C18W work in my new build? I’m putting together a Ryzen 7 5800 build with an ASRock Taichi motherboard.

weak field
#

?

gentle bobcat
#

I bought Corsair 3600OC ram but I only see intel in the spec sheet. Wasn’t sure if it worked with AMD

#

I put the full model just to make sure it was the correct model for reference.

arctic jungle
arctic jungle
#

we're not robots u know

gentle bobcat
#

It’s the model number

arctic jungle
#

-_-

formal cosmos
#

Guys

gentle bobcat
#

They have a lot of different models. Just wanted to make sure the correct one was listed

formal cosmos
arctic jungle
#

and why would we be able to ID a model number? just say what the produc is lol

formal cosmos
#

I can just slap in a better gpu

arctic jungle
#

bruh

#

it's so confilcting

#

it says it has 'with brand new rtx 3000'

#

think it's a scam

grim tide
#

wth

#

rtx 3000

brazen slate
#

😳

#

You never know!!!!!

#

Could probably get a 3090 out of it

arctic jungle
#

doubt it

#

msg and ask

#

tell himn to send a pic, or clarify

formal cosmos
#

Okay

arctic jungle
#

then tell him to send a pic with a spoon next to the build

#

@formal cosmos

formal cosmos
#

Lmao

#

Okay

arctic jungle
#

im serious

formal cosmos
#

Thanks

arctic jungle
#

no im serious

brazen slate
#

Nah, if it includes RTX 3000 it's gonna be a scam honestly lmfao

arctic jungle
#

tell him to send a pic with a spoon, or a postit note with the date

brazen slate
#

They couldn't even list exact GPU when they could give you w/e

little osprey
#

it literally says rx 550

#

what

arctic jungle
#

if he can do that, that basically garuntees it's not a scam

arctic jungle
#

if it has a 3900xt

formal cosmos
#

If it’s real then I’ll buy that and slap in a 3070

brazen slate
#

I honestly won't believe it's real mate

arctic jungle
#

@brazen slate .

#

that's what the spoon is for.

brazen slate
#

No way does someone put up an item for sale and not be able to list what GPU goes with it

arctic jungle
#

if it's not real, no big deal

#

just don't buy it

formal cosmos
#

Yeah

arctic jungle
#

chill

#

u can't miss something u never had

#

and you'd be surprised at the lack of info listing.

brazen slate
#

Nah, just adding in "With RTX 3000" or w/e should be an immediate red flag that it's some stupid scam lmao

#

Yeah, that should only be dumb manufactures tho

arctic jungle
#

@brazen slate chill out that's what the spoon is for :)

brazen slate
#

Or amazon lole

arctic jungle
#

also see what else the thing is for

#

*what else he listed

#

if he has a bunch of different PCs, vaguely listed, be wary

formal cosmos
#

He only has that one thing listed

#

The pc^

arctic jungle
#

but if it's just the one that a guy's trying to cash out on...

#

yeah

#

makes sense

#

probably bought his cpu then zen 3 launched

brazen slate
#

lole

gentle bobcat
#

I guess does ram even matter from Intel to AMD?

formal cosmos
steady rain
#

What would be a good 4k video editing and photo editing laptop apple is on the table as i have used apple before so i do want a good screen but if i can get better on windows im fine with that

arctic jungle
#

@eager dawn WHAT

#

WHY

formal cosmos
#

He never said how much space it had

arctic jungle
#

CORSAIR AIO WITH TRIDENT Z RAM!?!?!?!?!?!?

formal cosmos
#

The ssd

eager dawn
#

was wrong with that?

little osprey
#

on intel its negligent in the increase in fps

arctic jungle
formal cosmos
#

I really hope the guy selling the pc is real

arctic jungle
#

rgb doesn't compat

#

also ur aio is upside down @eager dawn

eager dawn
#

*** my heart dropped i thought there was gonna be a glitch or somethign

arctic jungle
#

lol

eager dawn
#

if its just rgb it looks pretty dope

arctic jungle
#

no nothing like thaty... but ur aio is upside down

little osprey
#

can you see through and see the fans on the top?

#

if not

eager dawn
#

pipes should be at the back?

arctic jungle
#

u should either flip it or change fan spin direction

little osprey
#

put the fans on the bottom of the AIO

little osprey
arctic jungle
#

or just reverse the direction of the spin on the fans

little osprey
#

flipping wouldn't be mountable kekw

eager dawn
#

theyre blowing out as an exhaust

arctic jungle
#

flip direction of spin

eager dawn
#

is it not efficient putting it on top?

gentle bobcat
#

@little osprey will it just default to 3200?

arctic jungle
#

not as much

arctic jungle
#

better on bottom

little osprey
#

you have to enable XMP in bios

arctic jungle
#

push > pull

eager dawn
#

pitty i wanted the rgb to show from the top

arctic jungle
#

no you CAN

#

just switch the direction of the spin in the fans

#

make them spin opposite direction

#

u can do that in bios

eager dawn
#

so one clock and one counter clock ?

arctic jungle
#

nooOOoo

#

all the same

eager dawn
#

both counter clock got ya

arctic jungle
#

mhm

little osprey
#

exhaust > intake

eager dawn
#

hold up does that change the direction of the airflow?

#

cuz thats my only exhaust

little osprey
#

wait what

eager dawn
#

bot and front are both intake

#

top is exhaust

gentle bobcat
#

@little osprey so XMP works with Ryzen?

eager dawn
#

honestly bot at this point is just for the gpu i mean look at that thing its huge

little osprey
#

its the ram

#

not the cpu

#

XMP is what your motherboard does

#

it puts the MHz of the ram to the advertised speed

gentle bobcat
#

Gotcha! Thank you for the help!!!

eager dawn
#

and its hit or miss

arctic jungle
#

b550 and x570 can do 3600mhz without xmp

#

with bios update

i got 3800MHzc14 and the timings good but i can only get it up to 3533MHz

little osprey
#

ML120s

arctic jungle
little osprey
#

ll120s

eager dawn
#

i changed em to ql

little osprey
#

boog abooga

arctic jungle
#

it's a bios thing

eager dawn
#

the rest are ll

little osprey
#

yeah but i don't think the fan itself will actually reverse tho

eager dawn
#

every time i put it to 3600instead of 3533 BSoD

little osprey
#

if they're QL120s why don't you just flip it tho

#

they look good on both sides

#

unlike LLs

eager dawn
#

then id have 6 instakes

little osprey
#

wait why do you have more intake than exhaust in t he first place

#

thats a heat trap

#

it should look like this

#

your build

#

Intake on the QLs on top

#

with same AIO orientation

#

AIO on top

#

then the LLs like the bottom and front fans

arctic jungle
#

eh

#

not nessicarily

little osprey
#

exhaust has been proven to have better heat output than intake

#

you don't want negative pressure either

little osprey
arctic jungle
#

yeh but u also need to take into consideration maybe it's not all about heat? if it looks prettier, and ur not running an intel cpu or power hungry behemoth, then it's ok

little osprey
#

idk if thats the case for g.skill too

arctic jungle
#

no corsair ram is fine at speed

#

i've never had porblem at least

little osprey
#

i've read about couple dozen people having problems

brazen slate
#

I mean, it would be understandable OCing 4 sticks of RAM to whatever speed you're aiming at, probably more power than 2 sticks would give?

#

Unsure of that though

little osprey
brazen slate
#

But honestly I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case

little osprey
#

fans at the top wouldn't be visible

#

front would be pretty and airflow would still be good

#

@eager dawn

idle hawk
#

any got a 1k build system

eager dawn
#

a few changes i might do is flip the rad so the pipes come from the back and change the gpu cables so they come in from the bottom

#

but for fans and temps their pretty decent alrady

little osprey
#

what are you using to measure temps

eager dawn
#

i mean i get a standard 40/30 on idle

#

and up to 70 on load

#

for both

#

hwinfo

#

and afterburner

idle hawk
#

i need a list for 1k

little osprey
#

k

#

because some people use iCUE to measure temps but it only measures the coolant temp kekw

idle hawk
#

anyone

eager dawn
#

u can change that

#

i found that for my motherboard temp sensor #6 matches my cpu

#

so i figured those two are the asme

idle hawk
#

@foggy hazel you around?

eager dawn
#

cuz my front fans i got em to change color depending on temps

idle hawk
#

oh ok

#

i need it specifically for gaming

#

so gpu isnt included there huh

little osprey
#

check this profile out kbk

#

i use it for my k95 ram and h100i

#

would use it for my PSU but corsair don't make RGB psu kekw

eager dawn
#

xD

#

did u get the glitch where ur aio disconnects for a split second cuz of icue

little osprey
#

wait i have the HX750i? i swear i had the 850

#

nah

idle hawk
#

@little osprey is there a list that would include a gpu

eager dawn
#

pretty bothersome

little osprey
idle hawk
#

oh im losing my mind

#

the problem is getting the 3070

little osprey
#

i run about 44-56C on max load for CPU

#

with overclock

#

@eager dawn what cpu

eager dawn
#

5600x

little osprey
#

im just running 2700x

eager dawn
#

i got the 3080 spitting out tons of heat in there xd

little osprey
#

yeah i only got a 1060

#

im on 1440p so im gonna be buying a 3080

idle hawk
#

my 3080 doesnt go past 60 under load

little osprey
#

i gotta see what my temps will be then

eager dawn
#

yoo cotton candy is pretty sweet

#

goes well with the white

little osprey
#

ye

#

i have a black and red build rn lol

#

so it doesn't really go with my pc

#

goes well with my K95 tho

#

speaking of which i have to clean the damn thing

eager dawn
little osprey
#

with intake fans on the front?

#

sus

#

weird it gets hot with intake

eager dawn
#

intake at the bot too pretty much dedicated to the gpu

idle hawk
#

my front panel is intake fans

eager dawn
#

sry i meant the side panel

little osprey
idle hawk
#

so i have 7 fans in total

little osprey
#

my panels never really get past like shower warm

eager dawn
#

lol xD

little osprey
#

not hot

#

just warm

idle hawk
#

3 of my top fans are a part of my radiator fans thats also intake and 1 exhaust

#

'i have everything going out the back and theyre 2k rpm fans

eager dawn
#

unfortunately i dont have any back fans

little osprey
#

when i get my 3080 i need to see if my friend is gonna send over her 3 radiators

#

because thats when i'll decide if i need to buy new stuff

eager dawn
#

thats the price i gotta pay for a mini atx form factor

hasty minnow
#

do you guys think replacing a 3070 with a 2060 in a build I haven’t done yet would be fine because I’m really not too optimistic about the 3070s at this point

idle hawk
#

when its comes to the 3080 id recommend a atx formant

little osprey
idle hawk
#

they do give alot of heat

little osprey
#

nah

eager dawn
#

ya hence my side panel

little osprey
#

its better than 20 series cooling

eager dawn
#

its pretty much flat aginst it

little osprey
#

aslong as you have fans set up good ur good

idle hawk
#

i never got my side panel hot getting out lol my side panel is glass

little osprey
#

hey guys

#

am new here

eager dawn
#

just jump into any convo and dont worry bout it

little osprey
#

really depends on the case honestly

#

for fan setup

#

280x i heard mostly exhaust was good

#

if i do get the radiators for watercooling definitely doing 6 intake 3 exhaust

eager dawn
#

i could get better temps by removing the top and front glass panles

little osprey
#

MAYBE a 120mm reservoir on the 120mm fan for the back

eager dawn
#

havent tried that yet

little osprey
#

the best way to get the best air flow is back to front

#

sorry front to back

eager dawn
#

lol i was gonna say

little osprey
#

if your using fans

little osprey
#

yeah

#

but i went front to back and it helps

eager dawn
#

im too scared to go custom feel like its next leve stuff

little osprey
#

yeah exactly

#

yeah for people who have never done it its decent risk

#

am really scared of custom water loop builds

eager dawn
#

just one leak could ruin the whole thign

little osprey
#

why you gotta be experienced

eager dawn
#

🥶

little osprey
#

its not only a risk but its even damage to componenets

#

i have a 2080 1700x custom loop one in the thermaltake p5 or whatever the case is called

#

my dads computer

#

nice choice

eager dawn
#

did u guys see the genome

#

the case with the water cooler that comes with it

little osprey
#

btw wanted to know

#

if i safe up for a threadripper

#

will it be better

eager dawn
#

for gaming?

little osprey
#

yeah

#

No

eager dawn
#

mehh

little osprey
#

no point

eager dawn
#

not good value for performance

little osprey
#

gaming streaming and all

#

streaming just buy 20 series or higher

#

yeah

#

you have Nvenc encoding for it

eager dawn
#

i can stream and play without a vid card with just 6 cores

#

u wont benefit much from the extra cores

little osprey
#

ohk

little osprey
eager dawn
#

^^

little osprey
#

i don't though im on a 1060 currently kekw

eager dawn
#

i mean even with nvenc unfortunately my twitch is pretty dead xd

little osprey
#

unlucky i couldn't get any higher than 4.2GHz on my 2700x

dense basalt
#

guys, i made my build, rate it so i know if i need to change something

little osprey
#

do yall ryzen systems

little osprey
#

?

eager dawn
#

yeah figured it was a good time for my first build cuz of the 5600x

little osprey
#

did you already buy everything dumi?

dense basalt
#

no

eager dawn
#

not a fan of intel's "business first" strategy

little osprey
#

its 800$ ok?

dense basalt
#

i mean ye

little osprey
#

bruh

#

if you wanna go bang for the buck

#

can switch out the 2060 for 5600 xt

eager dawn
#

get a better psu

little osprey
#

if u want

#

i can tell you things to get

eager dawn
#

i dont trust anything less than gold

little osprey
#

bronze is fine

#

rating is just the efficiency

dense basalt
#

i mean i dont think that i have to change that much bc the rx 5600 xt is kinda = to the rtx 200

#

*2060

what do they wanna do with it?

little osprey
#

he just playinmg fortnite and thats it?

weak field
#

no

eager dawn
#

its something we bond over but im not a wiz with pc parts i just know the ones i got for my build cuz thats the ones i researched

hasty minnow
#

by the time that I FaceTimed my mom to ask if I could buy one of the 3070 bundles they were all sold out it’s frustrating

that is

confusing them mando

little osprey

weak field
#

i think you got a wrong take on the question

#

hes asking how to make and save money for a 14yo

hollow brook
#

I know what a gpu is lol I know alot ab pcs

little osprey
#

what gpu do u have

hollow brook
#

Kids dont have alot options

little osprey
#

and mowing lawns is about it for outside labor

eager dawn

XD

weak field

child labor

#

hmmm

two words

#

sugar.momma

eager dawn

take stuff ur fam wont miss and sell em online

its pg

eager dawn

if its pg it works

hollow brook
#

Should I sell my xbox one x??

weak field
#

you could

little osprey
#

Don't

eager dawn
#

only fans doesnt necerally mean nudes

weak field
#

true

#

could be anything

little osprey
#

you have to be 18 to have an only fans account and its sexualization of a minor

weak field
#

that people wanna see that they cant find anywhere else

pearl blade
#

You sold your Xbox and you’re left with nothing to play on

little osprey
#

its Illegal.

eager dawn
#

the chance of realisticly making money off of it is slim though

weak field
#

sexulization???

hollow brook
#

Not if they know

weak field
#

feet pics

hollow brook
#

🤣

little osprey
#

you're selling it on onlyfans kermit

#

what

weak field
#

feet pics

eager dawn

xDDD

pearl blade
weak field
#

not bad

eager dawn
#

its cuz kermit doest have feet

#

understandable

pearl blade
#

Ya’ll are concerning

hollow brook
#

@pearl blade I didn't sell it yet

weak field
#

dont have toes*

eager dawn
#

oh ya

pearl blade
#

@hollow brook if you need the money that bad then do it

eager dawn
#

donntt

weak field
#

sell extra things

eager dawn
#

i say until u get enough money to guarntee selling the xbox will get u over the line

#

other than that keep it

pearl blade
#

SeriousEgg idk everyone’s financial situations

weak field
#

i once sold soil not dirt for 50 cents a ounce

hollow brook
#

True u have a point

pearl blade

eager dawn
weak field
#

what is
competitive

pearl blade
little osprey
eager dawn
#

thats good for anything

little osprey
#

no point in a 2080 ti equivalent build for stuff like csgo siege etc

weak field
#

yeah

#

3080=rx580 on low csgo

pearl blade
#

Yea the build is good but depends on what you do could be overkill

weak field
#

still gets 200++ fps

hollow brook
#

Once I saw that 3070 I knew it was was competitive

eager dawn
#

does nvidia support direct storage ?

weak field
#

uhhhhh

hollow brook
#

Wait wheres your mother board

eager dawn
#

oh ya

#

pick a good b550 board

weak field
#

also the 3070. is 500 and the. 5600x is 3000

#

300

#

so add 800$ to the list

eager dawn
#

300*

#

lol

weak field
#

i plus a 100$ ish for the mobo

clever jetty
#

Wait wheres your mother board
@hollow brook idk what mother to choose

hollow brook
#

Ohhhh

eager dawn
#

450 tbh

#

pcie4 isnt much use

hollow brook
#

Well it depends how many memory sticks do u have??

pearl blade
#

Bios update may be a pain if you do not have previous gen cpu on hand

eager dawn
#

u could go to any pc shop and theyll flash it for u for like 15 bucks though

hollow brook
#

And also don't forget to buy thermal paste for your cpu

clever jetty
#

Bios update may be a pain if you do not have previous gen cpu on hand
@pearl blade yess that’s why idk

pearl blade
#

kekw I live near the woods and closest tech store is Walmart

eager dawn
#

are we out of the woods?

hollow brook
#

Walmart over price ALot of stuff ngl

pearl blade
#

Yes

#

Wait I might be able to ask a friend’s friend to flash it for me

weak field
eager dawn
#

my heart broke as well

weak field
#

thats why

#

you dont use a drill

hollow brook
#

Ohh god I hope nothing else got damaged

eager dawn
#

thats why u dont use anything

#

most of these panel screws come off by hand

he thought he did somethign there xD

#

@idle hawk i am around, still need help?

brave holly
#

guys
anyone know when the 3060 is out?

idle hawk
#

yea i got it figured out srry to ping naed

#

i needed a 1k build

#

im open to options

foggy hazel
#

has @stoic island chimed in with any of his lists @idle hawk ?

idle hawk
#

nope lol

foggy hazel
#

i know this is above

#

but a very solid foundation that can be adjusted on both cpu and gpu side to bring it in line with budget

idle hawk
#

i prolly need it leaning towards 1k more

#

i gotta ask my buddy to extend his budget

#

he wants an entry budget build but i want him to have something thatll last

foggy hazel
#

and then its just a question of finding a gpu of some kind that fits his budget

#

another easy 30-40 usd saved would be to cut the storage in half (not recommended, but it could be done)

idle hawk
#

yea thatll be my own fight to get a 3070

foggy hazel
#

but the rest of the parts are solid enough

idle hawk
#

i was able to get another series x i think i should be able to get a 3070

#

we shall see

#

thank you sir

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome and best of luck :)

idle hawk
#

ima talk to him to increase his budget to factor shipping and tax

hoary lichen
#

Anyone here got a cheap case for $60

#

🗿

#

@foggy hazel

#

Can you find a cheap case for 60

#

I dont know how to choose

idle hawk
#

you get what you for when it comes to cases

hoary lichen
#

@foggy hazel

#

That one is out of stock

#

Thats why im trying to get a different one

are you trolling?

Kind of

hasty gyro
#

For a first build, do you suggest I try and push my budget for a 1440p 144hz monitor and setup, or a 1440p 60hz monitor and setup?

foggy hazel
#

depends on the rest of your system and your budget

fast robin
#

Hey! I am new to PC building and I just bought some parts on NewEgg and I was wondering your guy’s opinion on it. Here is the list:
Ryzen 5 3600x (it was cheaper than normal 3600 and plus 3600 was out of stock)
Gigabyte 450 Aorus M motherboard
Corsair CV550 watt psu
Team T-Force Delta 16 GB
Cooler Master q300L case
WD blue 3D 500GB m.2 ssd
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Ventus XS 6GB OC ( i know the super is cheaper and has the same performers but it is literally out of stock in every single place, I had it in my cart like 3 times and it went of stock all those times)
I would really appreciate if u guys could give me some pointer too. This is my first pc build!

For those wondering I spent like $800 including tax

hasty gyro
#

I’m thinking like 2000 to 2500 cad

#

Including the monitor

#

2500 is seriously pushing it though

#

I’d want to soend closer to 2000

#

@foggy hazel

#

@fast robin the build looks great. If you could afford it, maybe go for a b550 board for the gen 4 pcie lanes. But at that point, I’d spend extra money on the gpu. Either way, I think it’s a great build, especially for 800

fast robin
#

Thx @hasty gyro , yea I tried getting a 550 but could not find anything lower than $100 for a micro atx board

hasty gyro
#

It’s a good build and very well balanced

#

Nice job

fast robin
#

Thx, have u ever built a pc

hasty gyro
#

No I haven’t

#

But I know a bit

fast robin
#

Do I need to keep something in mind when I should

hasty gyro
#

Iep wrist strap lol

fast robin

@hasty gyro fixing a list for you at the moment

hasty gyro

So you’re grounded and don’t short stuff

eager dawn
hasty gyro
#

Oh okay, thx @foggy hazel

eager dawn
#

u dont have to type everything out

fast robin
#

Ok, I just thought it would be easier for u as u don’t have to go to pc part picker every time

eager dawn
#

most of us have it open 24/7 😛

hasty gyro
#

Lmfao that’s facts

fast robin
#

Lol ok good to know

eager dawn
#

especially if someone's mid build

hasty gyro
#

Yeah true

little osprey
#

Will a 5600x work for 240 hz

hasty gyro
#

Everyone here always wanted to help

#

Yes

little osprey
#

It will

eager dawn
hasty gyro
#

But you need a beefy gpu too

#

Unless you’re going 1080p

little osprey
#

I meant he gpu

hasty gyro
#

Then not as beefy

#

Oh the 5600x for a gpu

#

Maybe not..unfortunately

little osprey
#

Is a Radeon 5600x 240 hz 1080p

idle hawk
#

i pop in from time to time

little osprey
#

With r5 3600

hasty gyro
#

That might get you to 150-180 I think

fast robin
versed rock
#

I think you mean 5600XT

Yeah he does

rough spruce
hasty gyro

I thought he was talking cpu lol

That RAM should be fine Alta.
