hoary lichen
#

Im trying to get way above that

Lmao

little osprey
#

input time 🙂

woven arch
#

hoary lichen
#

Ngl the irl fps school map is so fun

karmic bobcat
#

Are we doing builds 😏

woven arch
#

😳

little osprey
#

not rn

wanton wagon
#

if you blink rapidly for about a minute your eye's fps feel like they jump up for a second when you stop

#

just saying

karmic bobcat
#

Oh darn

#

Nevermind I’m out

woven arch
little osprey
#

you can make a build for fun kekw

karmic bobcat
#

Yes

#

Watch

#

100 dollar gaming pc

wanton wagon
#

here he goes

#

oh no

karmic bobcat
#

No cap

@little osprey i built one with 2600 and gtx 460 cuz why not

hoary lichen
karmic bobcat
wanton wagon
#

is that an Astolfo pfp i spot

small osprey
#

Lol

#

Yes

karmic bobcat
#

“Ooga booga get a smaller storage”

#

Ah yes. The xpert

hoary lichen
#

I the max 100 gives you is like

wanton wagon
#

that's nothing

hoary lichen
#

2 gb ram

#

Lmao

karmic bobcat
#

No?

hoary lichen
#

🗿

little osprey
#

he was on a really tight budget

karmic bobcat
#

But I was able to get it in with that budget tho

wanton wagon
#

minesweeper

#

solaire

#

so many games

little osprey
#

sacricifing the board to a 450

wanton wagon
#

wait

#

solitaire

#

not solaire of astora

karmic bobcat
#

Yeah but on a tight budget; you can’t incorporate upgrade ability

wanton wagon
little osprey
#

yes? everyone can always upgrade

wanton wagon
#

upgrade ability

#

compatible mobos

#

i think is what he's saying

little osprey
wanton wagon
#

thats all anyone needs lets be real

karmic bobcat
#

No I mean

#

You can’t expect a 700 dollar budget to use a b550 board

#

And want to stream/edit using that 700 dollar budget build

little osprey
#

it was weebo right that we were making the list for right?

karmic bobcat
#

Ye

#

He wanted 700 iirc and wanted it for streaming and editing

little osprey
#

yeah he said if he can get better then he would and the money wouldnt matter after we kept going on about the upgrades

karmic bobcat
#

But then we told him it defeats the purpose of a budget lol

little osprey
#

yeah true and we left it at that

#

but yeah i think you also gave him an h510uh

karmic bobcat
#

No

#

I gave him a Q300 😏

modern shadow
#

Whats the best cpu cooler (no need for rgb, but would be nice) under 100, with black friday prices?

wanton wagon
#

black friday prices

#

🥲

karmic bobcat
#

Depends on your case and if you prefer aio or air

little osprey
#

if you have a 3600 you can just use stock cooler

#

that too ^

karmic bobcat
#

So looking back at that wonky build

modern shadow
#

The case is a td 500 mesh

karmic bobcat
little osprey
#

but also aio is not needed for a 3600

karmic bobcat
#

True

little osprey
#

air cooling will do just fine

karmic bobcat
#

I’d just keep stock fan ngl

modern shadow
#

I need one because my cpu isnt running well on the stock cooler for some reaason, even if I underclock by 100 mhz

little osprey
modern shadow
#

and Im hoping to upgrade next year

karmic bobcat
#

So it is ugly

modern shadow
#

I also have to use a older bios, since the newest one have a lower temp shutdown

little osprey
#

yeah new cpu would be good cause stock fan should be fine

karmic bobcat
#

But why not go with a Noctua NH-D15

cursive magnet
#

@modern shadow Need new thermal paste??

little osprey
#

^

#

didnt think of that

modern shadow
#

I already applied nt-d1 last month

#

same thing

little osprey
#

also underclocking is not the best thing to do tbh

karmic bobcat
#

Did the overheating just start randomly?

modern shadow
#

yes, while playing a game or running benchmarks

hoary lichen
#

Thats why i got warranty on my cpu just in case

karmic bobcat
#

Or has it been an issue since you got your cpu?

hoary lichen
#

🗿

karmic bobcat
#

If I were you

#

Check your CPU itself to make sure nothing is visibly loose/burnt

#

If not. Just get that Noctua fan

modern shadow
#

last time I installed it, it's all fine, and that was after the overheating issues

small osprey
#

Nh-u12a

little osprey
#

yeah its either cpu or fan thats not working properly

modern shadow
#

btw, is the ltt cooler tier list reliable?

#

and I can see that be quiet now have smth called pure loop, I wonder if that is a good option

hoary lichen
#

Be quiet fans and psu’s are really silent

#

its in the name

little osprey
#

hence the name

modern shadow
#

I don't necessarily need quiet, because I don't see have it could be louder that my fans already on max all the time

little osprey
#

do you oc a lot?

modern shadow
#

no

#

no oc

#

corsair a500 is tier 2, and is only 64 rn, is that a good cooler?

severe axle
#

no

modern shadow
#

oh god

#

nope for that then

#

I just need something I can do a mild oc on for future gen, and keep my cpu cool rn

little osprey
#

For the 3600?

modern shadow
#

read above, sir

little osprey
#

Hyper 212 will work fine. I OC my 3600x

pearl blade
#

Me: yo this cooler looks like a sick deal it's massive too
Tech Jesus: Impressively bad
Me: Impressively bad

little osprey
#

they plan to upgrade later on

#

5600x runs even cooler than previous generations I believe

marsh kiln
#

I'm thinking nzxt z63 cooler

modern shadow
#

uhhh... I think that a tad too much ???

little osprey
#

Overkill unless you got like a I9 or Ryzen 9

#

But thats my opinion

modern shadow
#

like, I need one for most preferably under 100 and as low as possible

little osprey
#

AIO or Air?

stoic island
#

@modern shadow gammaxx 400

#

Easy

little osprey
#

air is fine for 3600

#

Yeah thats a good one

#

Less than 30 I think

#

yeup

marsh kiln
#

@GrimmRx I'm going to get a ryzen 9

#

Not sure what one Zen 2 or 3 hard to say right now

little osprey
#

Noctua NH-D15

modern shadow
#

Is that good enough for a mild oc? cuz some of my games are kinda cpu heavy, and I also want to squeeze some performance out

stoic island
#

Nh-u12a

little osprey
#

If you plan to overclock a Ryzen 9

stoic island
#

D15 ram compatibility meh

little osprey
#

Should be fine

stoic island
#

I mean

little osprey
#

Temps might be like 5 degrees higher on CPU intensive games

stoic island
#

In a 165mm case you get like 40mm ram height

little osprey
stoic island
#

@modern shadow do remember stress testing any OC is gonna hit harder than any game

#

No real game can hit a chip as hard as Prime95

modern shadow
#

hmm, so gammaxx then?

marsh kiln
#

I'm thinking of running rlcraft with shaders and streaming it so my computer needs to be a beast

fallen harbor
#

@stoic island you gonna help me later?

little osprey
#

hey mr1111

#

this good build?

#

i made myself

#

@stoic island

marsh kiln
#

Hey @Aeqtra what r u going to do with the computer?

little osprey
#

gaming 1080p

#

also u didnt ping me

#

we told you the build is fine

#

yea i want another opinion

#

and mr1111 is a professional

#

soo

marsh kiln
#

I think it's fine

sinful hornet
#

He’s not technically professional

#

Just

#

Knows his stuff

little osprey
#

ik

#

i was joking

sinful hornet
#

Actually, who knows what his actual job is, could be a professional

little osprey
#

yea

#

maybe

#

yellow name = professional

stoic island
#

Naed is real professional

#

Get 3100 from like b&h or something, 150$ for it is way overpriced

#

@fallen harbor ya wat you need

little osprey
#

yeah 3100 is overpriced rn

little osprey
#

yes

#

oh

#

hows the rest of the build mr1111

#

3100 normally goes for 115

stoic island
#

1650 super overpriced atm too

#

Parts are good

#

Just pricing

fallen harbor
#

@stoic island boys made me a pcpp yesterday cause my budget got lowered you wanna tidy it up?

little osprey
#

yeah bad time to buy parts even tho bfriday and cmonday is here

fallen harbor
#

I wont have most the money till the day after cmod

tiny oriole
#

@icy quail congrats man I'm proud of you 👍

icy quail
#

Thanks!

fallen harbor
#

Prices should be dropping soon anyways

stoic island
#

Sure

#

Gib list soon

fallen harbor
#

Built for streaming and rendering 1.1k cad

#

That's max

stoic island
#

PSU is very sus

little osprey
#

yeah just saw that

fallen harbor
#

Mhm

#

I wants a pink case but there is none

little osprey
#

probably not on pcpp

fallen harbor
#

Let's fix that

#

If I have to I'll spend all tonight looking for one

small osprey
#

Purple better

vital oracle
#

if not can someone make me a better one?

#

budget is roughly 1k for pc and monitor

summer pasture
#

Will $140 get me a decent 1080p 144hz monitor

little osprey
#

eh

#

if you can find one that low

fallen harbor
#

@stoic island think your able to keep the 3600 and get a 1080 in there aswell?

little osprey
#

@stoic island

little osprey
#

not b450

#

3100 cpu too

summer pasture
little osprey
summer pasture
#

Yeah that would probably be good

little osprey
#

also b550 board

little osprey
#

450 outdated

#

yea

#

and over rated board anyway

summer pasture
#

Yea maybe a cheaper b550

little osprey
#

ram overpriced and 3600mhz is sweetspot to pair with 3600

vital oracle
little osprey
#

get like a arscock b550 maybe

vital oracle
#

is that monitor good?

little osprey
#

and get better ram

stoic island
#

@fallen harbor uh why a 1080

#

@little osprey ~160$

little osprey
#

oh ok

#

ty mr111

#

and what do u think of the rest of the build

#

is it good?

gentle bay
#

What’s the best pc build I can get for 1600?

little osprey
#

or any improvments i could add

#

@gentle bay you need moniter or na

karmic bobcat
#

A 5600X and 3070 build @gentle bay

gentle bay
#

Monitor included I guess @little osprey

fallen harbor
#

@stoic island 1080s are better 16 series is not as good

#

Unless I can fit a 2060 in there or 2070

gentle bay
#

@karmic bobcat I might go with a 6800XT

karmic bobcat
#

If it works for you it works

little osprey
#

should i get a 1080 instead of a 1650 super?

gentle bay
#

Well said wise guy

little osprey
#

or a 1080 ti or sum

gentle bay
#

I think you should save more money

fallen harbor
#

1080ti

karmic bobcat
#

For the amount of money it’ll cost for a 1080TI? Why not go with a 3070 or 6800XT?

little osprey
gentle bay
karmic bobcat
#

Feeling when 6800XT is more expensive

gentle bay
#

But they’re getting back in stock sooner

karmic bobcat
#

If. If you can get them

little osprey
#

this is my build

gentle bay
#

better chances of that than getting a delay 3000 series I guess

little osprey
#

don't have the cash...

#

my budget is 1700

karmic bobcat
#

Lemme help out real quick

little leaf
#

Oh boy that list is bad

#

For one the cpu is not worth 600$

little osprey
#

yeah

little leaf
#

Wait for it to go back to 300

#

Or buy a 10600k

little osprey
#

1700 should be enough for 3070 build

little leaf
#

1700 is enough for 3080

little osprey
#

without having to cheap out on your psu. which you should never do btw

glacial umbra
#

@little osprey it depends on your budget

little osprey
#

how much are 1080s

#

?

glacial umbra
#

checks eBay and your local marketplace apps

karmic bobcat
#

Same price

little leaf
karmic bobcat
#

Better specs

#

@little osprey

glacial umbra
#

prices vary between place to place

little osprey
#

thanks

little leaf
#

@karmic bobcat no

karmic bobcat
#

Yes

little osprey
#

eeeeeee

little leaf
#

Please don’t recommend that

little osprey
#

l

karmic bobcat
#

Ok tell me why I shouldn’t recommend “that”

stoic island
#

@fallen harbor ye I know but where you getting one

little leaf
#

That monitor is not worth 400

glacial umbra
#

for an expensive build like that, I'd maybe get a better PSU

little leaf
#

SIII

#

Is not a good psu

karmic bobcat
#

For cable management I could imagine

glacial umbra
#

it might be fine but it's much better to be safe than sorry

little leaf
#

I would rather have a 1tb ssd instead of 512+ 2tb

#

@karmic bobcat no cause its not reliable

#

And it ok for low tier

karmic bobcat
#

And that’s why it comes with a five year warranty?

little leaf
#

But at 1700$

karmic bobcat
#

The 5600X and 3070 are both more power efficient overall

little leaf
#

You can do alot better

grizzled crow
#

Which is better, Corsair 32gb 4x8 3600mhz or Corsair 32gb 2x16 3600mhz

little leaf
#

Cas latency

grizzled crow
#

Cl 18

little leaf
#

And generally get 2x16

karmic bobcat
#

And in all honesty, you could’ve given the dude a better MOBO

glacial umbra
#

really depends what you're doing but 2x16 in most cases

little leaf
#

That motherboadd is fine

grizzled crow
#

Mostly gaming

glacial umbra
#

some tasks benefit from 4x8

#

yeah 2x16

#

you don't really need 32 gb for gaming though

little leaf
#

Yes

vital oracle
little leaf
#

Get 3600cl16

grizzled crow
#

Gotcha, Thanks

little leaf
#

Like ripjaws 3600 cl16 2x8

little osprey
#

^

little leaf
#

Or a crucial kit

#

With rgb for same price

grizzled crow
#

Okay, I'll look those up

little leaf
#

@karmic bobcat look at teh psu tier list in pin and look at the psu you put

karmic bobcat
#

I just kept the GPU because that’s the one he had

#

Right now I wouldn’t even recommend a 5600X or 3070 combo imo

#

Simply due to stock

#

Sure both components are amazing

#

But imo. The stock issue and price scalping is unbearable

little leaf
#

I would suggest waiting

little osprey
#

stock doesnt matter if theyre willing to wait

karmic bobcat
#

If they’re willing to wait sure

little leaf
#

And its not hard to get it you are diligent

karmic bobcat
#

That means just refreshing your store page constantly or waiting for a notification to come through saying stock is available and pray that bots don’t get it before you?

little leaf
#

Not really lol

hoary lichen
#

Jkjk

karmic bobcat
#

Stonks

hoary lichen
#

Its hard to

karmic bobcat
#

😏

#

No it’s not

hoary lichen
#

🧀

#

Yes

karmic bobcat
#

I make hard things soft

#

That came out wrong

hoary lichen
#

Lmao

#

How would you even set up a bot to buy it

little osprey
#

who knows lol

hoary lichen
#

Actually

#

You can use

#

Eve aio x

#

To do it

#

😳

little osprey
#

just got my thermal paste PogU

mighty zenith
#

What's thermal pasted used for? Like exactly.. like does it go on the pins or

severe axle
#

lol

mighty zenith
#

:l

severe axle
#

it goes on cpu cooler and cpu

#

thermal conductivity

#

that way the heat can be transferred from the cpu to the cooler

mighty zenith
#

oh so younliterally put it on the processor right?

glacial umbra
severe axle
#

cursed

mighty zenith
#

Why

glacial umbra
#

it's beautiful

mighty zenith
#

Oh its seperated right

glacial umbra
#

idk

#

it doesn't actually go there sadly

mighty zenith
#

Right

#

Btw so I recently built my pc and I was really considering on getting an additional graphics card.

karmic bobcat
#

A for effort

severe axle
#

@mighty zenith for what purpose

#

more display outputs?

mighty zenith
#

Like my pc is a mid tower and I was adding in some more tech for fun

#

Fill it up

#

I can post a photo of it in chat? gimme a few minutes

severe axle
#

in that case(literally), maybe a nice sound card

mighty zenith
#

Sound card? I was considering getting a video card for recording

severe axle
#

why not use obs

mighty zenith
#

obs?

karmic bobcat
#

On board software

little osprey
#

obs is a stream/recording software

karmic bobcat
#

?

severe axle
mighty zenith
#

Sorry I know I may sound really dumb to all of you

karmic bobcat
#

NEVERMIND

#

I’m dumb

mighty zenith
#

I apologize I have a nursing background lol

severe axle
#

basically, just a free way to stream/record

mighty zenith
#

Oh okay, so maybe I can considering getting a hard drive for additional memory

severe axle
#

if you need more storage, sure

summer pasture
#

Good or nah

mighty zenith
#

Yeah that is nice

summer pasture
#

I see that its molex but that seems to be the only con

mighty zenith
#

I think that's ewxtremely good for the value compared to what I got with corsair

#

Oh it's not liquid cooled

summer pasture
#

No

#

Its a 6 fan pack

mighty zenith
#

steveconfused I messed up

summer pasture
#

What?

mighty zenith
#

nevermind

summer pasture
#

Ok

mighty zenith
#

I posted it on build pics. Lemme me know what you guys think

blazing aurora
#

How do I know if my fans will work in my build? Do I need any extra components to make them fit?

severe axle
#

what case is it

#

and what size are the fans

#

fans are usually 120mm or 140mm

mighty zenith
#

Yeah I actually had to swap my case out because of the size of the fans not being able to fit the glass Corsair casing

severe axle
#

then depending on the case, you can put 3x120 in the front, 2x140, 3x140...

blazing aurora
tardy lintel
#

yeah ig

#

wont be doing anything too serious on that but for budget it looks decent

blazing aurora
#

thanks

rough bough
#

whats better i5-10400f or ryzen 5 3600

left shore
#

Can someone make me a build for 1K or under

#

Lots of RGB

tardy lintel
#

sure

left shore
#

Bet thank you

#

Preferably with Uphere fans

tardy lintel
#

oh ok

left shore
#

Thank you

tardy lintel
#

well i made this

#

do you want it to work?

left shore
#

Lmao yes

tardy lintel
#

ok

#

cant help you in that department sorry

left shore
#

Lmaooo

#

Anyone?

tardy lintel
#

dm someone with the techie role i guess

foggy hazel
#

people will respond if they have the time to help

left shore
#

Yeah facts

eager flower
#

Maybe in a minute

left shore
#

Yeah

eager flower
#

Budget

#

And why do you need the PC

#

also what peripherals

ashen girder
north hull
#

Do case fans need water cooling?

eager flower
#

no

ashen girder
#

@left shore

left shore
#

That's 1.2K and the ram is missing

ashen girder
#

Damn my bad

#

I’m being a potato

left shore
#

Lol

hoary lichen
#

I can help

#

Bruh

#

Can you make it into a build and not into a saved parts list

#

🗿

#

@ashen girder

eager flower
#

neither build is good whichever hes talking about

#

if you pay 272 for a 3600 you have issues

#

wait for it to go back to MSRP

left shore
#

Sooo

#

i5?

eager flower
#

no wait for it to go to MSRP

left shore
#

Lol

#

Will it go down by Christmas?

eager flower
#

possibly

atomic atlas
#

hey y'all, I have a Asrock z77 mobo runnin with a i5-3570k cpu, I want to upgrade my mobo any suggestions? thanks 😄

#

Asrock z77 extreme 4*

glacial umbra
#

what cpu are you planning to get?

#

@atomic atlas

hoary lichen
#

Guys the case that im getting

#

I found out

#

That the mesh on the front panel isnt good

#

Im gonna take it off

#

And make the holes a little bit bigger

#

🗿

#

Drill😳

atomic atlas
#

@glacial umbra I want to keep my cpu but I am willin to upgrade it if the budget stays under $250-$300

glacial umbra
#

eh I don't really know then

#

250 for the motherboard and CPU?

foggy hazel
glacial umbra
#

you could go with a b450 motherboard and a ryzen 3 3100 @atomic atlas

atomic atlas
#

@glacial umbra yea i was lookin at the msi b450 mag tomahawk for a new mobo and later down the line save for a ryzen 5 or somethin

glacial umbra
#

yeah I wouldn't buy a 3600 rn because of the prices

#

they'll probably drop back down soon

frozen axle
#

anyone recommend any decent b550s for a 5800x

little osprey
#

mostly preference imo

tawdry lance
#

Just bought my psu and cpu cooler. Enermax revolution df 850($110) and Dark rock pro 4(70$).

solar sedge
#

Hi, do I have to update bios of b550 mobo for ryzen 5000s?

stark bramble
#

you probably will i think

stoic island
#

depends

stark bramble
stoic island
#

Depends

#

@stark bramble they might have bios from before agesa 1.0.8

stark bramble
#

ye tru

stoic island
#

nothing is guaranteed

solar sedge
#

scare to buy 5600 now

#

ok thx

foggy hazel
#

technically the boards support it

#

blame your vendor of choice if you get a board that doesnt

solar sedge
#

I can technically use the flashbios button in the mobo for update but I'm kinda scared to kill my mobo.

stoic island
#

then do that

#

that's not gonna kill the mobo lmao

#

if bios isn't updated, bios flashback button

little osprey
#

most boards should come with the latest bios update anyways

stoic island
#

I mean

solar sedge
#

What if file corrupts or something else happen

stoic island
#

logistics have been weird

stark bramble
#

unless u do smth to brick it up like press flash and flashback 5 times XDnoRE

stoic island
#

@solar sedge If you want to worry about 0.1% chances, then there's also a good chance your mobo is just gonna be smashed on arrival :P

stark bramble
#

mr, are you good with keyboard switches and stuff

stoic island
#

nah go ask nachos for that

stark bramble
#

k lmao

solar sedge
#

ok thx guys

foggy hazel
stoic island
#

Same thing :P

foggy hazel
#

not if you ask the vendors :)

stoic island
#

@foggy hazel I mean, is it just usual bad logistics, and high demands, and they're just blaming covid?

stark bramble
#

whats ur budget

#

@little osprey

foggy hazel
#

@stoic island nothing prevents retailers from actually tracking their stock in a proper way (thinking shipping info etc from manufacturer)

stoic island
#

Ah

foggy hazel
#

its "just" a question of exposing that info

stoic island
#

Tracking is the issue?

foggy hazel
#

for the question of: does X board have support?

#

yes, from my pov, its tracking that is missing

#

and yes, i am aware that its a multi tier problem

#

because normal store front backends are not setup for this

#

but its not as if this is a new problem in the field

stoic island
#

I see

foggy hazel
#

"funnily" enough, i have worked with and for a number of importers over the years in that field, and they all have no problem tracking this

#

gee, i wonder why?

stoic island
#

Just retailer's issue?

foggy hazel
#

from my pov? yes

#

which boils back to cost of implementing it

stoic island
#

Interesting, so most part of the logistics works, just Retailer's backend that's the bottleneck?

foggy hazel
#

but being able to guarantee that if you (on your store page ) say that something supports, it will 100% be ready, should be more than enough of an incentive from my pov

#

because you would be able to be THE place where people order their boards

stoic island
#

hm, but it's something normal consumers won't know to ask for sadly

foggy hazel
#

they dont know its something they COULD ask for

#

which indeed lets the vendors ignore it

stark bramble
#

anyone feel free to change

eager flower
#

@stark bramble why 2 cpu coolers?

stoic island
#

hm

stark bramble
#

oops

#

forgot to remove

eager flower
#

lol

stark bramble
#

there

#

its for the guy i pinged

#

not sure if hes still here lol

eager flower
#

i would recommend going amd but the 5600x isnt in stock

#

oh but neither is the 3070

#

maybe a 5600x and a b550-a pro from MSI, its a $15 price increase for better performance

stoic island
#

Z490 PG4 isn't good afaik

#

but eh

eager flower
#

and then he could potentially remove the cpu cooler

#

would my suggestion work mr1111?

stoic island
#

it would work if they get one

stark bramble
#

lmao

eager flower
#

good point, but they have the 3070 too so that can be their issue lmao

stark bramble
#

bruh im still trying to figure out my kb and monitor

#

ive decided to go with the 3070 because of price

#

and now im looking for good tactile switches

#

considering browns and aquas so far

eager flower
#

this works too

#

if they can get a 5600x, of course

sinful hornet
#

Aaaa get a different m.2

stark bramble
#

yeah and then get him 3600mhz cl16 and a better ssd

sinful hornet
#

Sn550 or mp34 or anything

eager flower
#

the m.2 is fine

sinful hornet
#

P1

stoic island
#

DO NOT GET SN550

sinful hornet
#

Sn750

stark bramble
#

lmaooo

stoic island
#

yes

sinful hornet
#

Wait

eager flower
#

LOL

stoic island
#

sn750 good

#

sn550 trash

sinful hornet
#

Sn550 is bad now?

#

Ok den

stark bramble
#

the 665p is fine for a budget ssd tbh

stoic island
#

sn550 has always been bad

#

dramless and without HMB

foggy hazel
#

@stark bramble no

stoic island
#

when had it ever been good

eager flower
#

its not bad at all for a tb ssd

#

if its a budget build im gonna keep it

sinful hornet
#

I thought it was like the previous default recommendation

eager flower
#

ill upgrade the ram though with the money saved

foggy hazel
#

not with the price of it and the mp34 being as cheap as it is @stark bramble

stark bramble
#

ah

eager flower
#

robey is playing a bardcore version of the christmas song lmao

stark bramble
eager flower
#

oh

#

only difference is the 1SSD between ours lmao

stoic island
#

@stark bramble I'd get Crucial ballistix for ram

#

for that sweet rev e

stark bramble
#

lmao

#

whats rev e

stoic island
#

Micron rev e

stark bramble
#

ah

stoic island
#

I've been calling it e die but

#

not correct really

reef cape
#

b550 asus tuf or asrock steel legend?

stark bramble
#

id go asus tuf if it fits ur budget

stoic island
#

Tuf is usually like 160usd when steel legend is like 135usd usually

#

so you sure you want to be comparing those?

reef cape
#

tuf is 129 for deal so, yeah

stoic island
#

hm? which one?

sinful hornet
#

Does the TUF have all that much over the steel legend?

stoic island
#

depends on the tuf board

sinful hornet
#

B550

reef cape
#

asus tuf gaming b550 w wifi for the blackfriday deal is $129

stoic island
#

huh

#

I thought they didn't go away with tuf pro

#

@reef cape B550-plus wifi or the mATX version

reef cape
#

not the mATX

stoic island
#

let's see then

reef cape
#

just curious which is a “better” board. hears asus has a better bios

stoic island
#

hm

#

I might actually go with steel legend

reef cape
#

see what? im seeking which would be a better buy

stoic island
#

I'll give pros and cons of what I see

#

Steel legend : Better VRMs, Better sound chip, USB 3.1 header
Tuf : Bios flashback

reef cape
#

what exactly is bios flashback?

stoic island
#

hm

median acorn
#

You can boot onto a previous bios

#

So if something happens on the current updated bios you can always go back

reef cape
#

is that really needed if you have a supported chip right out of box?

median acorn
#

Nope

stark bramble
#

hmm which one is best for me? i have the TUF selected rn (i want built in wifi)

📎 unknown.png
reef cape
#

got it

stoic island
#

@stark bramble B550 Aorus elite ax at 160$

#

on wegg

stark bramble
#

170*

stoic island
#

you sure?

#

it was like 156$ last time I looked

median acorn
#

@stark bramble Yeah I'm pretty sure Gigabyte is more reliable as well

stoic island
#

hmmm

reef cape
#

@stoic island you would go with steel legend?

stoic island
#

damn

#

dunno, bios flashback is nice

median acorn
#

@stoic island Yeah it's nice to have

#

But I don't have it on my PC and I'm vibin

stoic island
#

I have it

reef cape
#

and its better price too

stark bramble
#

hmm the elite AX is only like 20$ cheaper

#

is it worth it over the tuf?

stoic island
#

time to check specifics then

stark bramble
#

cuz gigabyte also has an x570 for 170

median acorn
#

@stark bramble I trust Gigabyte over Asus but I am biased

#

Lol

stoic island
#

the x570 one only has one free chassis fan header

#

I know that

#

VRMs Aorus ax over plus wifi

stark bramble
#

ah

median acorn
#

@stark bramble What GPU do you plan to run>

sinful hornet
#

I love aorus

stoic island
#

Aorus ax has bios flashback, plus wifi doesn't

median acorn
#

?

sinful hornet
#

Gigabyte in general

#

I dint know why

median acorn
#

@sinful hornet Same

sinful hornet
#

But I do

stoic island
#

@median acorn doesn't matter really, B550 has PCIe 4.0 for GPU

stark bramble
#

3070

stoic island
#

hm

#

they need to update mobo sheet smh

median acorn
#

@stark bramble Yeah so it might be better to run a B550 then?

stoic island
#

don't have io listed for aorus ax, gotta manually check

stark bramble
#

lmao

stoic island
#

oh it has a 3.1 header

#

plus wifi doesn't

sinful hornet
#

Didn’t GN do a pcie 4.0-3.0 test with the 3000 series and it basically made no difference?

stoic island
#

which is nice

#

mhm

#

it's upgradability talk

median acorn
#

@sinful hornet I think it's like a 5-10% difference

#

and with the 3070 it would probably be far less

#

I think it's more beneficial on the 3090 and 80

sinful hornet
#

I guess, as m1 said, upgradeability

#

Main benefit of going with a 3070

whole harbor
#

Newegg deals suck

stark bramble
#

@stoic island so i should go with the AX?

reef cape
#

what about asus rog strix b550-a?

stoic island
#

I'd say so

stark bramble
#

ight

vital oracle
#

is the radeon rx 5700 xt a good graphics card

stark bramble
#

its fine

#

what exactly are the differences btwn x570 and b550

median acorn
#

@vital oracle Wait for the new Radeon cards

#

Get the 6800

#

Or RTX 3070

#

They will both wreck the 5700 xt

stark bramble
#

consider price

#

ph well ye 3070

median acorn
#

The Rx 5700 XT is still roughly around what, 400-500 dollars?

#

Just get a 3070

#

lmao

When they get in stock

#

that is

No

idrc about looks

just the performance

sinful hornet

Get the prebuilts outta here

looks are a bug thing for me

vital oracle

i have a tight budget and it looks pretty nice

jaunty nacelle
#

that cooler though 🤢

steel flare
#

big

stark bramble
#

i would edit the list to beat the prebuilt but im too lazy

#

lamo

vital oracle
#

please

#

my budget is $900

sinful hornet
#

Lmao that case will give no performance if you don’t care about looks

#

0 airflow

#

None

vital oracle
#

really

sinful hornet
#

Well, where do you see intakes on the front panel?

steel flare
#

@vital oracle wait a 900 dollar budget

vital oracle
#

yes

steel flare
#

ight i can do that

#

do you use wifi?

astral swift
#

Damn prebuilt components besides psus and ssds are getting pretty competitive for the price

vital oracle
#

yes

steel flare
#

ight

vital oracle
#

mostly ehternet

#

but just incase

stoic island
#

I mean

sinful hornet
#

And the prebuilt is more expensive too lmao

little osprey
#

hi mr111

stoic island
#

Prebuilts are supposed to be competitive for the price

#

remember, they get bulk discount

#

but they just mark it up too much

#

hi

astral swift
#

Yeah but like competitive to the verge that when they’re further discounted it seems so convincing for a lot lol

#

Because normal prices are pretty bad tbf

little osprey
#

mr1111 is there anything u would change about this list?

stoic island
#

get the CPU and GPU from a different place than what is listed

little osprey
#

ik

astral swift
#

^^^^

little osprey
#

imma wait untill prices go down to normal

#

hella overpriced rn

stoic island
#

then ye

little osprey
#

anything else?

stoic island
#

it's good

little osprey
#

ok ty

astral swift
#

Everything besides ram and ssds are so overpriced rn

little osprey
#

yea

#

also out of stock

stoic island
#

mobo is fine

#

PSU pricing is wacky too

#

I think case is decent

little osprey
#

is there anything i could make better about the list?

stark bramble
stoic island

Still have MX330-g air/Neo air/TD500 mesh/H500 so I think case stock is fine

that computer is ok i guess

stoic island

Microcenter actually had a decent prebuilt with iirc 9900k+3070 at ~1800$

sinful hornet
#

No it’s not

#

What

stoic island
#

for a prebuilt

#

and considering 3070 stock, it's decent

sinful hornet
#

Responding to banana boy

tardy lintel
#

i was going to go with 3070 but i saw a smokin deal so i got a 2080 ti

spring surge
#

Honestly I just want the graphics card

sinful hornet
#

Still bad

#

Just wait mate

#

It will save you literally hundreds looking at that price

tardy lintel
#

i got a 2080ti for 474 👀

sinful hornet
#

Is that USD?

tardy lintel
#

yep

sinful hornet
#

Jesus

#

Wait

sterile wind
#

nice

sinful hornet

No

#

The prebuilt

tardy lintel

oh ok

if its in ike cad thats an amazing deal

hey hey

i know one

#

ill dm you

karmic bobcat
#

Oh yeah 2080TI 500 sellers

#

I know one

#

It’s just idk if he’ll hold onto it long enough for me to get the money

little osprey
#

damn 3600 dropped in price out of nowhere

tardy lintel
#

i know one for 474 but its in bulgaria

karmic bobcat
#

Stock came in that’s why

#

Reinforcements

#

😏

little osprey
#

haha

tardy lintel
#

there

little osprey
#

its was almost 300 this morning

karmic bobcat
#

That’s international shipping

#

And there’s so many ways for that to delayed and or DOA from poor shipping

tardy lintel
#

ehh i dont really care

#

it is 60 day return so if its just a scam i can return it

karmic bobcat
#

But that’s why I put in the 750W PSU. If I get a 3070; I got future upgrade pathway. If I get a 2080TI used from someone; I got enough watts to cover it

karmic bobcat
full geyser
#

ok so nowi got 3090 ..what do i need to get next

tawdry lance

What is the difference between the aorus b550 elite ax and the aorus b550 pro ac?

Yes

I was big wrong on that one

karmic bobcat

Elite ax is full atx not itx

tawdry lance

Are the vrms similar?

Ye that’s the one I was thinking of

It do be a nice board tho

You guys know when rtx 30 series will hit the market again?

@radiant palm what’s your budget?

Is a 1070ti for 240 okayish

tardy lintel
#

my 2080 ti is overclockable lets gooo

glacial umbra
karmic bobcat
#

@broken basin it’s good because that’s comparable to a 1660S. However; you’ll need a higher wattage PSU and it isn’t nearly as efficient as the 1660S.

glacial umbra
#

bottleneck hurts

#

:(

karmic bobcat
#

What’s the specs lol

glacial umbra
#

my dad's pc until I get my own

#

i3-8100

#

and a 1070 TI

karmic bobcat
#

Upgrade the resolution to 1440p

#

As the higher resolution, the less pressure is put on your cpu

glacial umbra

my cpu is at 100% lol

karmic bobcat

O. F.

#

for?

little osprey
#

gaming. uploading clips on YT

desert elbow
#

what is a good budget case

#

is the cooler master q300L good or is it crap

karmic bobcat
#

No

#

Lemme tell you why

#

B550-Proto isn’t a bad board. But for 10 bucks more you can get a built in IO. More of a niche thing
Your RAM is overpriced for that specific timing and speed. You can get 3600 C16 RAM for ten bucks cheaper and is quality RAM.
Your SSD is DRAMless, so it’ll get slower with time as you fill it up. Avoid those at all cost. Go with something like the MP34 if you wish to retain NVMe
H510 is just a crappy and overpriced case. Get something like the TD500 or 4000D Airflow from Corsair. Better airflow and cable management features
PSU is fine for the price point. Though; you’ll need a new one if you plan to upgrade remotely anything higher then a 2060 Super or Ryzen 3600
You can get a cheap windows key online for less then that
And the fans - if you go for the revisions I stated - won’t be needed as the TD500 comes with 3 fans, or, the 4000D comes with two fans already and that’s enough to keep a 3600 and 3070 cool inside. @little osprey

@severe axle the PSU is where the other exhaust would be. Also the back is an exhaust with the front having 2 inhale 120 fans that came with the case.

Why USB lmao

#

Just get a headset uh

#

USB is cool ig, nothing more

#

I use a micless headset and they don't disconnect so it would allow a cord with mic kekw

#

So dedicated mic lol

little osprey
mortal rampart
#

Like if you already have a pair of headphones then sure

#

But like a "gaming" headset is just fine

little osprey
#

I have a headseat, but i lost the mic to it like a year ago and now im trying to buy a decent michraphone

Oof

brazen slate
#

Just look for used GPUs @little osprey

mortal rampart
#

Too much why

little osprey
#

or a 1650 super

brazen slate
#

They'll def come cheaper

mortal rampart
#

All 1660 are out of stock

*prices

little osprey

#

i just wanna know

mortal rampart
#

Is better

#

Oh

#

Like $210

#

Idk

little osprey
#

and 1070 original is?

mortal rampart
#

More expensive
