i don't think buying a 1080p60 monitor for $100 is a good idea

covert glade Nov 22, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

I'm just trying to get a build up and running for now, and upgrade when I get some more money

#

I already have a 1080p 144hz

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

look at local used market, i've seen 1080p60 24" monitors including hdmi cable for as low as $30

#

got one for my mom cause her laptop screen too small

cloud oasis Nov 22, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

If u have a 1080p 144hz wouldnt spend 100$ for a second

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

this is really expensive for 3600C18 ram

small heron Nov 22, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

Ots rgb tho so its fine

#

Its

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

if you really need rgb go for crucial ballistix rgb

weak field Nov 22, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

1200$ for that.......

covert glade Nov 22, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

ye rgb for more fps

weak field Nov 22, 2020, 2:24 AM

maybe fix

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:24 AM

you can get 3600C16 rgb ram for cheaper

@earnest olive ur wrong that doesn't have as much rgb

wouldn't recommend this mobo especially if you are going for a cpu upgrade

just look for a used second monitor on local marketplace

#

u don't need something fancy for second monitor

small heron Nov 22, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

Use the stock cooler

#

Smh

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

my second monitor is 14 years old but it's 1080p60

#

there is nothing wrong with buying a cm 212

stock cooler is louder and hotter

small heron Nov 22, 2020, 2:28 AM

40 dollars you dont have to spend

I mean when I upgrade my cpu I'll want a better cooler either way

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

you don't have to spend anything

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

that moment your motherboard refuses to bios flashback, meaning you cant setup your pc :/ fml. A month of waiting for AMD's tech to take a massive turd.

covert glade Nov 22, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

might aswell get one now to take advantage

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

that's a poor argument

#

"why use rtx 3070 when gt 710 can power your monitor that's $460 you don't have to spend"

#

paying more for a better product is fine

small heron Nov 22, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

Gt710 is a beast

Wdym

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

i used a cm 212 on a 3600x for a while, it's pretty good, will work well with a 5600x or 5800x as well

so don't worry about it @covert glade

anyone know any methods to bios flashback a motherboard to work with zen3?

mortal void Nov 22, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

is stock 3600 cooler fine? or should I try and find a budget option?

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:31 AM

what board you got?

#

stock cooler on the 3600 is fine

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

msi b550 gaming edge wifi

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

but upgrading is also fine

#

it depends

#

@chrome flare okay take a look at your rear I/O

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

also the flash bios button on mine doesnt work

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

do you have the usb plugged into the highlighted usb port?

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

yes

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

is the bios file on the root directory of the usb drive?

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

root

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

like just E:\

#

no folders

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

yes

#

that method doesnt work for me

#

tried about 14 times now

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

is the USB drive formatted as FAT32 or something else

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

fat32

#

but my mobo refuses to work for it

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

is your power supply switched on and everything is properly plugged in on the mobo?

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

yes

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

everything is already installed except cpu?

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

everything is installed

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

what happens when you press the button?

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

nothing

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

did you change the BIOS file name to MSI.ROM

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

it also doesnt detect my gpu

#

so i think its just a faulty board

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

answer the question

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

I'd try the other 16x pcie slot

#

Imo

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

highly doubt thatll do anything

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

it's in the instructions

#

so...

#

i've done this process on a bricked msi board before

#

if you're not even going to try don't bother asking

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

Had a friend who bought a used b450 and wasn't recognizing gpu

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

instructions arent working to bios flash it lol

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 2:37 AM

He got scammed a lil lol

i was asking for other methods

i've literally fixed bricked msi board before using this button but it's alright you can keep acting like you know everything when i'm trying to help you

lol

#

i got better things to do

#

anyone else feel free to ping me if you have a question

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

i think im just going to return my 5600x and try to sell my mobo, then get a zen2 cpu and a different board brand. Probably go x570 this time

zen3 isnt worth going through all this trouble shooting when none of it is working xD

you can just go to your local office depot and pick up a good office chair

#

this one's a gaming chair but it's got a bunch of office chair certifications

office chairs are comfy, no need to spend extra on gaming haha, idk any specific ones tho

How many fans should I buy

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

depends on your budget and your hardware

#

i don't have a budget so i have as many fans as my case fits

sullen spoke Nov 22, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

im sitting with 1 intake 1outtake rn xD

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

I dont want to spend more than 80

#

Usd

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

you can get quite a few with that

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

what case do you have?

#

you can easily max out most cases with 80

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Cougar mx330

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

ah

#

so one rear exhaust right?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Is maxing out good though

chrome flare Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

depends

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Yeah rn 1 exhaust

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

i don't remember if it has an intake it's been a while since i used one

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Yeah no intake

covert glade Nov 22, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

what components are you using?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Rx 570 but that will be changed soon and r5 3600

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

well your case supports 5 fans in total

#

but i would say don't bother with top fans unless you're liquid cooling (which then your top fans will be supplied already)

#

so you'd be fine just adding 2 intakes to the front

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Ok so 2 intake 1 exhaust

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

yeah

#

the mx330 is pretty well designed for traditional airflow pattern

#

do you want rgb fans or just best performance possible?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Thanks will do, should I go for more expensive fans?

#

Rgb would be nice

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

4-pin or 3-pin?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

Ummmmm does it make a difference or is it based on mobo

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

based on mobo mostly

#

what mobo you got?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

I have a b450 gigabyte pro wifi

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

aorus pro wifi?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

Yes

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

alright you've got 2 4-pin rgb headers and 2 3-pin argb headers

#

from personal experience 3-pin fans are much better color-wise

#

i was looking for a 4-pin fan recently for my rear exhaust

#

bought 2 different ones that could not accurately do white

#

then realized i had a 1-to-4 3-pin splitter so i just put a 3-pin fan there and works like a charm

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

Ok so is there any specific fans that you reccomend

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

the one i'm using is out of stock now so i'll take a look

let me know how it goes

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

Ok, actually while were talking about cooling i bought my gpu 2 months ago will reapply thermal paste do anything

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

2 months ago? probably not

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

nah thermal paste lasts a while longer

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

is your gpu overheating?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

Around 80c under load

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

the paste they use in the factory is designed to not be the best in terms of thermal conductivity, but last for many years without too much degradation, since the vast majority of consumers don't want to open their graphics card

#

you could replace it with something like mx-4 if you wanted

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

80 junction or not?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

Junction?

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

are you already undervolting the card? if not, you may have more success with undervolting it

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

junction temp is where the temp is hottest

#

like near the die

covert glade Nov 22, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

sips is there a reason that people recommend the 3600 over the 2700x?

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

It says 80c in msi afterburner never goes over

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

3600 is more recent

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

And no im not undervolting

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

and works in a b550 and x570

covert glade Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

ah ok that makes sense

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

yeah

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

yeah undervolting can help you drop that temp by 10C or more without losing performance

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

Is undervolting safe

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

depends on how lucky you get

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

you cant use a 2700x in a b550

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

Ok

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

yeah i've undervolted many builds

#

the best result i got was from a 2070 super ventus with a really inadequate cooler

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

Nice, i might still re do paste

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

stock : 1860mhz, 1.05V, 87C
undervolted: 1905mhz, 0.9V, 76C

#

higher performance at lower temperature

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

sips doesnt it void warranty to repaste?

#

on gpu

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

they usually put a sticker on one of the mounting screws so they can know if you opened it up

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

yeah

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

but iirc that's not actually legal for them to deny you warranty based on that

#

worst case... buy a replacement circular sticker

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

lol

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 3:21 AM

Im not keeping my gpu for longer than 6 months so it doesnt bother me too much

i used to disassemble my video card like once a month to deep clean the heatsink and the back of the fans

you dont have filtered intake?

Can i undervolt in afterburner

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

i had dust filters and cleared them every 2 days

desert gulch Nov 22, 2020, 3:22 AM

i clean mine like weekly

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 3:22 AM

but dust filters aren't 100%

#

you can, but for a radeon card i find that radeon software is better

when i had an rx 570 i undervolted it in radeon software

#

sips my radeon software hasnt worked since i updated it

#

my dad said that the clock speed

#

doesnt matter

#

HAHA

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

well

#

that's not entirely false

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

i said that i want to learn and run glsl

#

and its kinda dependent

#

so like

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

clock speed only really matters when you are comparing the same architecture

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

ik but would you want a 0.1ghz cpu lmfao

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

It was hard for me to convince my parents to let me build a pc

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

the fact that my dad has been doing pc stuff for over 20 years is a con believe it or not

#

you might think that itd be easier

#

its the complete opposite in my case

gray tide Nov 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

@summer pasture same

pearl blade Nov 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

so your dad's mindset on computer is from the 90s

gray tide Nov 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

prob

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

show him how much 7700K is still selling for... now show him this

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

honestly i have no choice so like i either upgrade the prebuilt (which is suicide) or not have a pc

#

HA

#

i mean

#

look the 7400

#

has 4 cores

#

3.5ghz max bOOOOOOOOST

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

Just upgrade the prebuilt with 2 parts right?

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

can you explain why its worse? i dont understand cuz like some previous-gen cpus have higher clock speeds than newer gen

#

and theyre less expensive

#

like???

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

Architecture

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

the 10400 boosts to 4.3ghz

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

he said

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

the 10400 also has 6 hyperthreaded cores

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

he'd spend $200 or more

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

while the 7400 has 4 non hyperthreaded cores

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

hm

#

whats hyperthreaded

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

hyperthreaded

#

well

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

hyper = fast asf

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

each core is like its own little machine with some components

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

yeah

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

like a floating point unit and an integer unit

#

not all of those components will be simultaneously used by a specific instruction

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

I cant believe you built your first pc this year

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

okay

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

in a non hyperthreaded core, whichever instruction is running on that core has complete control of the core

#

in a hyperthreaded core, if the core is executing an instruction that does not need the entire core, it may be able to simultaneously execute an instruction using other parts of the core

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

alright so i looked online and saw that the 7400 is often compared to the r5 3600

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

hyperthreaded cores expose themselves to the system as 2 "logical cores"

#

📎 unknown.png

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

Im gonna go now goodbye and thanks for the help earlier

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

ohhhhhhh ok

#

that makes sense

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

so hyperthreaded cpus will get a significant boost to productivity workloads compared to non hyperthreaded cpus

#

it depends on the workload but often around 25-30%

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

ohh so like more efficient?

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

more efficient allocation of resources

#

basically

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

alright hmm

pearl blade Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

feels bad man

📎 unknown.png

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

so the i5-7400 is 4 cores and 4 threads

#

the i5-10400 is 6 cores and 12 threads

#

so the multitasking capability of the 10400 will be much stronger

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

yeah ik

fair birch Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

the 7400 seems pretty bad

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

this is the thing

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

not to mention that it boosts higher

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

its not compatible kekw

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

the i5-10400 + the new board you would need to run it

#

costs less than a 7700K

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

lmaoooo my dad gonna buy a whole new board

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

which would be the only significant upgrade

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

I DONT EVEN KNOW IF ITS POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE CASE HAHAAH

hollow hound Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

hyperthreading helps w/ compute-light tasks (email,web surfing, etc.). I do a lot of machine learning stuff, and actually disable hyperthreading, and see a 20-30% increase in performance when doing lots of hard-core number crunching... faking more cores doesnt always mean faster performance.

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

Guys I got an issue

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

you can use the same RAM as well as the same drives

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

probably gonna use a crowbar or smthn

pearl blade Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

like you said the board plus cpu is cheaper than upgrading the i7-7700k

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

My hard drive isn’t showing up in bios but it’s powered on and it works

#

It doesn’t show up in windows either

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

@hollow hound yeah for the sake of not getting too long winded my explanation wasn't complete

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

earnest olive you can use the same RAM as well as the same drives

i found that it can support up to 16gb. but is there a cap for frequency?

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

I changed the SATA connection because I thought it was the issue

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

in workloads that actually load up the entire core like what you're doing it's detrimental

#

though that is more of a fault of the hardware scheduler than the hyperthreaded core itself i think

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

Can someone help me out?

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

@little osprey you're not using Z chipsets so the maximum ram speed will be 2666mhz

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

DAM NO

#

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

#

2666 is like meh

#

ok but like meh

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

@pulsar zodiac ok im still here and the same thing happened to my dads laptop, the drive was dead

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

what can i possibly upgrade lmfao

#

can i plug in a 1080ti

#

2080ti

#

or 3090

#

haha

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

Doesnt mean yours is though

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

@pulsar zodiac did you plug in both power and data? i am asking because you said "the sata connection" as if it's singular

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

Yes power and data

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

7400 + 3090 = extremo explosion

how long do mail in rebates on items last if they're not listed?

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

what are my gpu options @earnest olive

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

Power is in, I can feel it physically spinning

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:20 AM

okay what board do you have?

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

Bios and windows doesn’t see that anything is there

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:20 AM

with a 7400 i would pair it with a gtx 1060 at most

alright i wanted to check if the mobo is one that disables certain sata ports when m.2 is populated

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

I DONT KNOW AHAH

its a prebuilt from dell

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

it does not

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

and my dad thinks you can upgrade it any more

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

How long have you had the drive

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

he says he'll contact vendors and theyll certifi it or smthn

earnest olive Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

@little osprey dell prebuilts tend to be proprietary so you are probably going to need to use a graphics card with no external power like a 1050ti

pulsar zodiac Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

4 days max

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

@little osprey Yup i think 75w max

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:24 AM

wdym by 75w max

#

for the whole pc? or

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

if anyone is willing to assist me with this

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah quite low

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

to type up a doc of compatible parts to upgrade the current system

#

it'd be greatly appreciated

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

I am not intelligent enough

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

no just like a bit of googling

#

like for the cpu i already know

#

its a h110 chipset

#

so kaby-lake processors and lga 1151 is the cpu socket

#

so under those specifications you can find out which cpus are compatibile

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

I think new motherboard would be the best thing

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

and for ram

#

yeah ik

#

but like

#

why the heck would i have a 7400 with a new mobo

#

i might aswel buy an entirely new pc lmao

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

And new cpu like sips was saying

little osprey Nov 22, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

not worth it

#

ik ik this is the thing

#

i dont support this whatsoever

summer pasture Nov 22, 2020, 4:27 AM

#

Why?

if it's a dell prebuilt

i told him
