lyle gang

#

32 gig kit just arrived in the mail and got installed

#

400mhz and 2 nanoseconds faster, twice the size

forest glen
wanton cliff
#

what are you gonna use it for

forest glen
#

gaming and recording and editing videos

wanton cliff
#

and Im guessing your budget is 1k?

forest glen
#

correct

wanton cliff
#

go ryzen

little osprey
#

^^

wanton cliff
#

if you are lucky you might be able to snag a R5 3600X for cheaper than a normal 3600

forest glen
#

which model?

wanton cliff
#

wdym?

forest glen
#

ok

#

didnt see your message my bad

wanton cliff
#

np

little osprey
#

ive built a couple two three computers now but ive never done one with a liquid cooler like the krakens

#

if i do one with the krakens do i have to liquid cool the whole thing and have pipes and stuff

#

Made this build list for my cousin

wanton cliff
#

people say that water cooling is dumb but it is cool as long as you arent stupid ith it

forest glen
#

apart from that is everything good?

little osprey
#

Wait wrong link

wanton cliff
#

cheaping out on mobo and GPU

little osprey
#

thats my worry though I just wanna liquid cool the cpu and not have liquid flowing around the whole thing

wanton cliff
#

AIO it i guess

little osprey
#

This build for $1k

#

Including peripherals

mortal void
little osprey
#

oh

#

explian?

wanton cliff
#

I suppose for 1080p its good but he would need to upgrade the GPU for anything better than that @little osprey

little osprey
#

explain*

#

Yeah gpu can be upgraded in the future

#

5700xt for $300

wanton cliff
#

RIP, I got mine for $500

#

it is from sapphire tho

little osprey
#

I have a gigabyte one

forest glen
#

@wanton cliff why is the ryzen better? It brings the build over my budget and i would need to find a different motherboard and idk what to get and Im not sure if its worth it

olive kraken
#

My friend's mobo came in today. HE IS SCARED HE WILL SHOCK IT AND DIE

little osprey
#

I think the best B550M board is the aorus pro

olive kraken
#

First time builders are so cute

little osprey
#

we were all there once

olive kraken
mortal void
little osprey
#

thx

#

Yeah I used to make unrealistic builds

#

I still have them saved on my pcpartpicker

#

im gonna cool an i7 with a x63 maybe

#

depends tho

olive kraken
#

i7 is vague term

#

The numbers after is what matters

little osprey
#

cuz i dont know which one i want yet

tardy lintel
#

the question is: with my 2080ti and 5600x do i run 16gigs of ram or 32

wanton cliff
#

plus from what I hear 10400F is a bit underpowered

forest glen
#

ok. Do you recommend a motherboard?

wanton cliff
#

gonna need a second opinion tho

forest glen
#

the one I have isnt compatible

wanton cliff
#

you can get a cheap B550 from a lot of places

wanton cliff
little osprey
#

@forest glen what state do you live in

tardy lintel
#

i mod minecraft a crap ton

forest glen
#

is it asus or msi? What brand?

eager flower
#

what?

forest glen
#

@little osprey why do you ask?

wanton cliff
#

minecraft isnt that intensive

olive kraken
#

Asus and MSI are both great brands for mobos

little osprey
#

Do you have a micro center near you

tardy lintel
#

mods are

wanton cliff
#

not really

forest glen
#

I live in washington state

eager flower
#

MSI is my personal choice

mortal void
wanton cliff
#

I would know, I play modpacks with 500+ mods

eager flower
#

Asus is good but more expensive

tardy lintel
#

oh ok

#

16 sohuld be enoguh to start

wanton cliff
#

yeah

eager flower
#

16GB of ram is enough for gaming

little osprey
#

Yeah don't think there is one

mortal void
#

16gigs is more than enough for gaming

wanton cliff
#

if you ever do go 32, get 4x8

eager flower
#

you rarely need more than that if at all

#

why would you go 32

tardy lintel
#

if im finding that not enough i guess i can get more

forest glen
#

MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK or MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK

eager flower
#

unless youre rendering or editing

forest glen
#

oops

eager flower
#

theyre the same thing

forest glen
#

yea

little osprey
#

B550M Aorus pro is the best mATX mobo

forest glen
#

my bad

little osprey
#

And cheap

eager flower
#

MAG tomohawk is my friend board

tardy lintel
#

i do do a fair amount of rendering and editing yes

eager flower
forest glen
#

MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK or MSI B550-A PRO

tardy lintel
#

a pro

eager flower
#

tomahawk

#

no?

little osprey
#

What

eager flower
#

bruh

little osprey
#

No

wanton cliff
#

Friendship ended with prebuilt mobos, Asus is my friend now

eager flower
#

tomahawk all the way

little osprey
#

anyone got a recomendation for the best aio for a i7 9700k

analog hearth
#

I feel everybody’s favorite is the Tomahawk

forest glen
#

ok tomahawk it is

eager flower
#

thats for a reason

#

b550-a is better for a budget

analog hearth
#

Everybody blew up on the Tomahawk just for that BIOS flash back feature. It’s really otherwise not that great of a board iirc

tardy lintel
#

why is tomohawk better

#

just curious

forest glen
#

$1146 :\

eager flower
analog hearth
eager flower
tardy lintel
#

ohhhhh

#

makes sense

eager flower
#

aand bios flashback is on the b550-a

tardy lintel
#

thank

olive kraken
#

Bios flashback

#

isnt that to update bios

#

But b550 already comes with 3000 series

analog hearth
#

I can’t handle a 3900X and up iirc. But that’s the B450 version. I bet the B550 and X570 ones are better

#

But that’s really it for me

wanton cliff
#

B450 is still solid

languid adder
#

I need help finding a prebuilt gaming pc with like 2070 graphics card

forest glen
wanton cliff
#

not as good as B550 or X570 tho

eager flower
#

b550-a has a flash bios button

analog hearth
#

The B450 version is great for budget builds though

eager flower
#

tomahawk also has 2.5 gigabit lan

#

another slot for an nvme

#

a more slick look

wanton cliff
#

B450s can somehow get more expensive than better X570s, which is weird

eager flower
#

more headers i think?

little osprey
#

B550-A Pro is good

analog hearth
tardy lintel
#

pc part picker is a life saver i would have been hopeless with compatibility

wanton cliff
#

same thing happened with the 3600x vs 3600

analog hearth
#

Also demand

wanton cliff
#

yeah, weird

analog hearth
#

Definitely demand for the 3600 and 3600X

little osprey
#

Dual Channel RAM or SSD?

wanton cliff
#

to think there was a time when the 3600 was a max of $200

forest glen
#

so is the tomahawk a good pick or the a pro?

eager flower
#

the 3600 is more expensive than the 3600xt atm

tardy lintel
#

i found a 2080ti yesterday for 474]

analog hearth
#

Budget-oriented and COVID is making people bored, leading people to buy more stuff

little osprey
#

@forest glen A pro

eager flower
#

bro

little osprey
#

A pro is better

eager flower
#

you cannot give advice

#

no it isnt lmao

forest glen
#

thats 2 different answers 😦

wanton cliff
eager flower
#

what makes the pro better?

cursive wharf
#

Neither, both are overpriced

forest glen
#

@cursive wharf which one then?

tardy lintel
#

i was gonna go for 3070 but 474 for a 2080ti is a bargain

little osprey
#

Look at buildzoids review on it

wanton cliff
#

no kidding

zinc marsh
#

what would be a good budget for a 3080 build?

wanton cliff
cursive wharf
#

AsRock b550 Phantom Gaming 4 for $115

tardy lintel
#

yea

wanton cliff
eager flower
#

i hate asrock lol

wanton cliff
tardy lintel
#

are there any good places to buy or backorder the 5600x in canada?

zinc marsh
#

ty

eager flower
#

I consider them a mrore cheaper brand

analog hearth
#

I’d actually go with the Tomahawk, doing a bit of research

eager flower
#

and they make less quality products than other brands imo

#

but thatsme

cursive wharf
#

Sound controller and M2 E port

analog hearth
#

I could use the 2.5Gbps ethernet and the optical audio output

eager flower
#

yeah

cursive wharf
#

Eh, cheap 10g card is better

forest glen
#

how much do you guys think prices will go down by on monday?

analog hearth
#

Not much at all

eager flower
#

the tomahawk will be on sale for $140

wanton cliff
#

aight, name and PFP change time

cursive wharf
#

Most of the prices of new stuff will be the same

austere patrol
#

Its here boys and girls

wanton cliff
#

oi

analog hearth
#

Oh yeah lol forgot about Cyber Monday

eager flower
#

nice

wanton cliff
#

OI

forest glen
#

will it most likely go down monday or friday

wanton cliff
#

WTF

analog hearth
#

I’d imagine Black Friday and Cyber Monday would be great times to buy that board @forest glen

#

But I’d only imagine

eager flower
#

the tomahawk will be on saale for $40 less

wanton cliff
#

Newegg has tons of Black November deals going on

eager flower
#

for $140 on black friday

forest glen
#

ok yeah thanks!

little osprey

@little osprey list is private

this part list is private

Who else remembers the LSAT in BO2?

cursive wharf
#

Also, iirc b550 Aorus Elite is cheaper the Tomahawk, better deal

wanton cliff
#

Aorus is good

versed rock
#

Wow, I'm kinda surprised.

little osprey
analog hearth
#

Have Gigabyte boards gotten better?

eager flower
#

aorus looks good

#

not the best though

#

gigabyte has jus gotten better as a brand

versed rock
#

Apparently MSI is the only motherboard maker who has mATX motherboards with a USB-C header

mortal void
#

I'm confused, does the ASRock B450M Pro4 have 3 Chassis fan headers or 4?

little osprey
#

fr

analog hearth
#

There’s nothing on that list

eager flower
#

lmao

cursive wharf
#

Some gigabyte boards are certainly good for the price. Idk if much of them are worth it, but some are

little osprey
#

is it still privated or somethin i just changed it

analog hearth
#

Literally my third build atm

wanton cliff
#

wait it took me to my list

analog hearth
#

It’s not private

wanton cliff
#

bruh moment

little osprey
#

should be better

wanton cliff
#

ok holup

little osprey
#

if not i give up

wanton cliff
#

Kraken for I7?

eager flower
#

doesnt have USB C though

#

'nothing has USB c

zinc marsh
little osprey
#

yea obv

wanton cliff
#

or just dont pay for windows lmao

little osprey
#

i just always put it on there

#

wow

ashen girder
#

1660ti for 1700?????

#

What the heck

zinc marsh
#

I mean yeah you can not pay but then you dont get some of the aesthetic and cosmetic stuff that I like to have

analog hearth
#

@little osprey get a cheaper case (something under $100 would perform better). Downgrade the CPU and get a better GPU. Something Ryzen would be good. It’ll come with its own cooler so you don’t have to pay over $250 for an AIO

#

That’ll give you a much greater budget for a GPU

wanton cliff
forest glen
analog hearth
#

Don’t fall for everybody’s first build with the NZXT case

eager flower
#

I dont think the tomahawk has enough USBS for me lmaooo

little osprey
#

Yeah

#

i have an extra cooler master hyper 212 laying around

#

Only 5 type As

zinc marsh
#

if it's just gaming yeah he can prob downgrade

eager flower
#

e h itll be fine with the front headers too

#

4 in the front 4 in the back

little osprey
#

yeah still tho

wanton cliff
eager flower
#

if you need more than 8 usbs

analog hearth
#

A downgrade in cooling would be fine as well though. $280 is literally the price of my 4K smart TV

eager flower
#

that is a bigger issue

zinc marsh
little osprey
#

what case do you recommend for under 100

#

P400A

eager flower
#

lianli

little osprey
#

yea i always buy tb

zinc marsh
#

you could atleast get a cheaper ssd

little osprey
#

just somethin i do

wanton cliff
zinc marsh
#

ah

eager flower
little osprey
#

Best airflow case for P400A

#

Yes and Lancool II is also good

zinc marsh
#

I mean I like to keep things organized and get rid of things that I dont use anymore so storage isnt the biggest issue for me

little osprey
#

@eager flower wait no

#

That Lancool II isn't good the mesh one is good

wanton cliff
#

or just get a td500

eager flower
#

its fine

little osprey
#

The normal one isnt good for thermals

#

P400A is 🐐

wanton cliff
#

P400A gang

mortal void
#

wait stupid question cause I really don't know. Can I use the CPU Fan header for a case fan? If they are both 4 pin it should be fine right?

eager flower
#

the thermal isnt bad enough where its stopping me from getting

#

if he wants mesh thats his choice

zinc marsh
wanton cliff
little osprey
#

read GNs review on the case

eager flower
#

and i did all the calculations with size already

zinc marsh
#

Sounds good

#

still is a nice looking case

wanton cliff
#

Just gonna come out and say PHANTEKS GANG PHANTEKS GANG

little osprey
#

Yup P300A, 400A and 500A

wanton cliff
#

currently in a p300, ordered a P400A

little osprey
#

After 500A comes the Lancool II mesh version

#

Price ordering

#

whats the best cheaper 2080

wanton cliff
#

What's yalls opinions on the Razer Tomahawk

mortal void
wanton cliff
#

Im fairly certain the CPU/water pump connector is for a second type of fan

#

gonna need a second opinion

little osprey
#

2080 goes for $450

#

used

#

is it worth going down to an i5 and getting a p400a then just using my hyper 212 cooler to afford a 2080

eager flower
wanton cliff
wanton cliff
eager flower
#

what

#

uh

#

havent done much rsearch gimmie a min

#

from looks aline i think airflow is decne

wanton cliff
#

thats the one

eager flower
#

a bit constricted but not the worst

wanton cliff
#

its a pretty nice looking case I'll give it that

eager flower
#

its basic

wanton cliff
#

simple yet elegant

#

plus RGB

#

I am Robert Downey Jr. and RGB is my cocaine

little osprey
#

@little osprey make sure the p400A is the Digital RGB version and not the $70 one because they only provide 2 fans and it doesn't look as pleasant

#

^

#

I have the p400a digital

#

yeah who gets the normal

#

Fr lol

#

Also you do need a usb to download windows right?

wanton cliff
#

yeah

#

because people dont download windows on spinning rust anymore

tardy lintel
#

how much thermal compound do i add for an aio water cooler with a 5600x

little osprey
#

pretty sure my floppy disk will still work

wanton cliff
#

they usually come with thermal paste already right?

tardy lintel
#

no how much and where

little osprey
#

yeah most do

tardy lintel
#

like i know where

#

on the top

#

but like

little osprey
#

If you have some might as well put some

wanton cliff
tardy lintel
#

but like do i just put a little dab or the whole tube

little osprey
#

But remove the stock paste from the cooler

wanton cliff
#

too much thermal paste is not necessarily a good thing

little osprey
#

Yeah i know

wanton cliff
tardy lintel
#

ok

#

thanks

ornate solstice
#

Which out of all the 5700xt are the best

little osprey
#

power cooler devil or sapphire nitro

wanton cliff
#

Nitro+

ornate solstice
#

Ok thanks

little osprey
#

Anyone want to buy my gigabyte 5700XT for $400

wanton cliff
#

bruh

#

get the Sapphire one

little osprey
#

yeah sapphire is good

wanton cliff
#

best AIB for radeon products

little osprey
#

Evga and Sapphire

wanton cliff
#

no just sapphire

little osprey
#

EVGA

#

For the Nvidia

wanton cliff
#

Sapphire

little osprey
#

EVGA

wanton cliff
#

Nvidia is arguable

#

ASUS is pretty good but Nvidia has really been kicking pretty strong with the FE cards

little osprey
#

FTW3 is best

wanton cliff
#

Again, arguable

deep skiff
#

mhm kp better

wanton cliff
#

yeah, in the EVGA sphere KP cards are better

little osprey
#

The red devil is cheaper for the 5700xt right

wanton cliff
#

I believe so yes

little osprey
#

I would rate that the best 5700xt

wanton cliff
#

Really depends on where you look with Radeon cards

#

best regardless of price is Sapphire

#

I will die on this hill

little osprey
#

I mean it's pretty much the same

wanton cliff
#

Cooling solutions and aesthetic differ

little osprey
#

Just size difference and similar PCB

deep skiff
#

if you want the best regardless of price it would probably be the lq red devil

#

its like 600 tho :/

little osprey
#

used market goes for 320-350

#

For the high end I think

ornate solstice
#

Quick question the 2060super that I wanted sold out this morning so should I just wait till it comes back?

#

Or try to buy something else?

little osprey
#

How much were u planning to spend

ornate solstice
#

It was $400

#

I don’t want to spend more than $400 for my gpu

#

Unless it’s like 410$ then I’m ok with it

little osprey
#

2070S used is $420-$430 no tax

#

2070 super

#

Check r/hardwareswap on reddit

forest glen
#

is a cpu cooler required? My case is meshify c and my cpu is R5 3600

wanton cliff
#

not unless you overclock

little osprey
#

It's not required since it comes with a stock cooler, but the stock cooler doesn't perform as well as an aftermarket cooler

wanton cliff
#

R5 3600 stock is good

little osprey
#

Which can limit your speed

wanton cliff
#

yeah but AMD stock coolers are good

#

he will be fine as long as no overclocking

little osprey
#

The speeds are lower when you use stock cooler

wanton cliff
#

rarely

#

and barely

little osprey
#

Without an overclock

olive kraken
#

False information

wanton cliff
#

fake news

little osprey
#

Your cpu checks temps

wanton cliff
#

ik

olive kraken
#

You don't gain much from OC on AMD. Matter of fact you shouldn't even mention that on anything but 5000 series

forest glen
#

ok. im still really scared about building it as it seems really confusing

olive kraken
#

I have 4 AMD CPUs fwith 4 diff coolers

little osprey
#

People buy aftermarket coolers and wonder why there cpu isn't lower temp without overclocking it's because it's using it's full stock potential

wanton cliff
olive kraken
#

Yikes

wanton cliff
#

indeed

olive kraken
#

That's not accurate

forest glen
#

anyone have any tips about building pcs?

olive kraken
#

Full stock potential is called boost clock

#

all CPUs have it and use it

little osprey
#

@forest glen it's not confusing to build it, picking parts is the hardest part

ornate solstice
wanton cliff
#

im boosting to 4.3 with a base of 3.9 according to task manager rn

little osprey
#

Yes and so your limiting your speeds using a stock cooler

olive kraken
#

Cooler temps just means it can sustain that clock for a little bit longer

#

Which is often unrecognizable

forest glen
#

just saw linuses vid and its really confusing bc of all the wires and what I have to do

olive kraken
#

Especially on AMD

wanton cliff
olive kraken
#

Building a pc is easy

wanton cliff
#

expensive legos

olive kraken
#

First plug in all the obvious things

wanton cliff
#

then supply power

olive kraken
#

Like CPU, RAM, NVME

little osprey
#

Legos are harder than PCs in my opinion

olive kraken
#

then supply power onto case

wanton cliff
#

agreed

olive kraken
#

Ground yourself real nice

little osprey
#

Legos take so many instructions

olive kraken
#

And then its just screwing things in

forest glen
#

oh bitwit is a ytber i thought it was a website

olive kraken
#

or pre routing cables

#

if you want to save some time on cable managemen t

wanton cliff
olive kraken
#

XD

#

STOP

little osprey
#

Hell yeah

ornate solstice
#

Should I get an aftermarket cpu cooler for my i5 10thgen

little osprey
#

My boy stefan etienne

wanton cliff
ornate solstice
#

Any good recommendations

wanton cliff
#

Intel stock coolers are not the greatest

olive kraken
#

Most likely on intel, yes I mean their cooler is disgusting

wanton cliff
olive kraken
#

noctua nhu12s

little osprey
#

Scythe mugen 5

wanton cliff
#

I was also going to reccomend that one

little osprey
#

Goes crazy

wanton cliff
#

BRB, I need to go get something to eat

little osprey
#

$45 cooler that acts like an $80

olive kraken
#

I mean that also depends on what you want

ornate solstice
#

The scythe is a thicc one

olive kraken
#

You can get lower temps or just a bigger heatsink which mostly means less noise

#

but cpu coolers arent loud

#

Check compatibility with your case and RAM

idle compass
olive kraken
#

Looks ok

#

Upgrade cooler on that cpu

#

whenever you get more moneys or right now

idle compass
#

To wat

ornate solstice
idle compass
#

Is noctuas coolers good

severe axle
#

I'd just wait and get 5600x instead

olive kraken
#

Works wonders

idle compass
#

When will the 5600x be back in stock

olive kraken
#

not prettiest though ]

olive kraken
severe axle
#

also, 3600mhz cl18 is 2% faster on ryzen

forest glen
#

considering I dont want to pay 556$ for a resale 1660 super. Anyone have recommendations below 300 or 250$?

idle compass
#

So normalized or back in stock for like 5 minutes

ornate solstice
wanton cliff
#

yes

#

very\

ornate solstice
#

😂

#

At least my pc will be quiet

idle compass
#

i think an aio is not needed if your not overclocking

ornate solstice
#

I was planning on oc

idle compass
#

Oh ok to what

ornate solstice
#

Um idk anything I was told to do it tho

olive kraken
#

You do not need an AIO to overclock but they are easy to install most of the time

idle compass
#

Its better to get a air cooler instead of a cheap aio

olive kraken
#

yes

ornate solstice
#

Ok so what’s a good but cheap one?

idle compass
#

A good aio

#

?

ornate solstice
#

No the other one

cold jewel
#

I wouldn't purchase a Cooler Master AIO tbh

#

They really aren't that great at all

little osprey
#

Evga clc 240 is good

idle compass
#

Oh air cooler

#

I heard noctua ones are good

little osprey
#

Scythe mugen 5 is good for the $45 price

cold jewel
#

Noctua makes some of the best ones in terms of air cooling.

ornate solstice
#

45$?

#

Say less

wanton cliff
#

Noctua has the best fans for straight cooling PERIOD

little osprey
wanton cliff
#

mhmm

#

good cooler

ornate solstice
#

Lol

forest glen
#

is the 5600xt radeon a good pick?

ornate solstice
#

Ig I’ll buy it then

little osprey
#

Oh $1.50 more can't buy it anymore

ornate solstice
idle compass
forest glen
#

ok what should replace the 1660 super since i literally cant find one in stok

little osprey
#

I am never buying new GPUs again

forest glen
#

stock*

little osprey
#

Used market GPUs is best

#

It's like cars

ornate solstice
#

I only buy new things i hate it when they’re used

#

It annoys me

cold jewel
#

You take a gamble with used.

ornate solstice
#

But hurts my wallet more

little osprey
#

Yeah for everything, I buy new

#

where do I find gtx 1660 super in stock?

idle compass
#

If you find a legit one I saw a used 3090 for 1k on ebay

wanton cliff
#

At this point my wallet is probably begging for something to kill it

little osprey
#

Nah ebay is booty

#

r/hardwareswap is the gold mine

wanton cliff
#

hell yeah

cold jewel
#

Buying used could technically lose you money if you have to fix it it in the future. Since you are not only spending your time to fix it or have something fix it but you may also need to pay to have it fixed.

idle compass
#

Where do you get used gpus from

ornate solstice
#

With the scythe is it a 2 fan or just 1

cold jewel
#

So IMO it isn't really worth the gamble.

idle compass
#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

Every used GPU I bought from there was treated with perfection

cold jewel
#

Usually people mine off of GPUs and sell them though?

little osprey
#

@idle compass On reddit, there is a subreddit called r/hardwareswap

wanton cliff
#

because reddit appreciates hardware

cold jewel
#

That is usually why GPUs get sold.

Can someone help me find good pc parts to build and its from all Amazon.ca

little osprey
#

Yeah those are mostly RX580s that get mined

wanton cliff
#

so? still works for gaming @cold jewel

severe axle
#

any video editing or streaming I'd go nvidia

ornate solstice
#

@little osprey With the scythe is it a 2 fan or just 1

little osprey
#

do i go for a 3070 or a 2080 super?

#

It comes with 1 fan

ornate solstice
#

But I can put 2?

little osprey
#

You can add another one if you want but it's not necessary

cold jewel
#

I mean until you realize your GPU fan stops spinning or it is running at 100% fan speed while gaming the whole time due to intense mining on the card. @wanton cliff

#

Is anyone good at building pcs and picking good parts dm me pls

I gave you a build.

ornate solstice

I can build one but I can’t choose parts😂

little osprey

#

The fans on GPUs can go bad. Not to mention with intense mining a lot of other stuff can go wrong later in the future not only paste but other things.

idle compass
#

Is the rtx 3080 or the rx 6800 xt better for gaming only no editing or streaming

versed rock
#

Arguably yes.

wanton cliff
versed rock
#

In raw performance, not quite. But with additional Nvidia only features, the 3080 wins.

#

DLSS and Nvidia Reflex (in the few games that support Reflex) make up the difference for the 3080 to win.

idle compass

2080 super or 3070?

small osprey

3070

wanton cliff

3070

3070 when they come in stock.

idle compass

def 3070

3070 is better than any previous gaming card

idle compass
little osprey

yea its just too hard

ornate solstice

My case that I’m buying comes with 2 of those fans so I’m buying 3 more 2 for the cpu and 1 for the back of the case

little osprey

or pay $50 extra on reddit

Yea im going to build in Febuary or January so im going to wait for stock to be normalized

little osprey

nope

so im pretty sure it can work with that

ornate solstice
#

I’m just keeping an eye out on my 2060super to be back in stock

little osprey
#

dont need a 5600 to be ultra gamer

wanton cliff
# small osprey 3700x is good

Also 3800X is only worth it if you really need that extra little bit of juice, and you might as well go with a 3900x after that

small osprey
#

3800x is not worth at all

wanton cliff
#

eh

little osprey
#

3800x downvote

idle compass
#

Is the 5950x worth it if your going to game

small osprey
#

NO

versed rock
#

No.

wanton cliff
#

yeah sure

small osprey
#

get 5600x

#

for purely gaming

versed rock
#

The 5600X is more than adequate for pure gaming

small osprey
#

5950x is for people who edit and such

little osprey
#

Get the 5950x then underclock it

idle compass
#

What should I get if my budget is 5k usd for gaming

small osprey

no

#

just no

Ok thanks for the help guys I’m buying all my parts either today or tomorrow and the I’ll buy my gpu when it come back in stock

little osprey

Lmao

small osprey

5k?!

wanton cliff

If you are willing to pay for it and it is better than something that is good, then go for it

small osprey

well if you have 5k

then sure get the 5950x

little osprey

The Intel side of the force compels you

#

@stark moon try a usb 2.0 port

karmic bobcat
#

@stark moon you can’t get into bios or the keyboard isn’t responding?

hoary lichen
#

Remember how fedex left the note saying i didn’t answer the door

stoic island
#

Usb controller could be being weird, try a usb 2.0 port with the keyboard.

karmic bobcat
#

No I don’t

hoary lichen
#

🗿

stark moon
#

Changed ports and nothing.

stoic island
#

Into a usb 2.0 port, and keyboard doesn't work?

#

It's usually blue ones are 3.0, red are 3.1

stark moon
#

Led turns on but no response

karmic bobcat
#

@stark moon is your keyboard not responding or is it you just can’t get into your bios?

stoic island
#

Rear io or front io

karmic bobcat
#

Because some systems have different buttons to get into bios

stoic island
#

Ima check for keyboard being weird first, then see if it's just bios being unresponsive

stark moon
#

When i click del or f2 it does nothing

#

Oh ok.

karmic bobcat
#

Can you log into your pc and browse the web?

stoic island

@karmic bobcat says on the screen del or f2

So yea

@stark moon anyways can you take a picture of where your keyboard is plugged in real quick?

@stark moon btw remember to get antennas plugged in for wifi later

#

Do you have another keyboard you can test with?

@cursive magnet they get display out so they have to

Display out is off his PCIe power

@cursive magnet ram error makes it just not display out

It has display, so they're at least working

stark moon

Took out ram and ssd

stoic island
#

I doubt those are the issues

stark moon
#

Put them back in and nothing, also tried doing it without them and nothing

#

Without the ssd

stoic island
#

@stark moon you tried using case front usb ports too right?

foggy hazel
#

if first boot, not much you can do without a hardware button for bios

stoic island
#

Hm

karmic bobcat
#

Hmmmm

foggy hazel
#

generally, strip back parts

stark moon
#

Yea all usb porta

foggy hazel
#

and try again

little osprey
#

maybe just bad usb ports? but doubt all the ports are broken

foggy hazel
#

potentially, verify that the keyboard actually works on other machiens

stoic island
#

Naed, I wonder if a PS/2 keeb might work

#

They tried 2 unless both don't work

karmic bobcat
#

It’s probably the keyboard

foggy hazel
#

if they have a ps/2 keyboard, it will work

stark moon
#

Alright ill recheck connections, you guys think it could be the mobo

stoic island

(to find someone with one at least)

but likely hood of that is very very slim

#

yeah i actually know someone who has one kekw

karmic bobcat
#

The keyboard itself isn’t working

stoic island
#

@stark moon by any chance do you know if you could borrow a PS/2 keyboard from anywhere?

foggy hazel
#

@stark moon check if that keyboard actually works on something else.

stoic island
#

Maybe usb controller just broke

stark moon
#

Ok ill check. Thanks for the help

meant like air wise

obsidian dove

hey question are there any cheaper memory options im looking to cut some cost

little osprey

but its not needed

#

u sure?

little leaf
#

the general config you want to have is postive air preasure

little osprey
#

but what if temps go up

#

intake fans are good enough

sinful hornet
#

i mean, positive pressure airflows do exist

karmic bobcat
#

Someone get this man a ram

little leaf
#

more air being taken in and less being pushed out

karmic bobcat
#

And not the truck either

little osprey
#

ok well im still gonna roast him if he has temp issues

little leaf
#

thats not how it works

#

even with good airflow the parts can still be known to have bad temps

little osprey
obsidian dove
#

is it?

little osprey
#

but it can be improved with better airflow

little leaf
#

it is

but a case with no fans that lead air out is worse than the other

@little osprey like all intake no exhaust..?

Am confused

whole harbor

yeah

yea no exhaust

hes just not using exhaust fans

whole harbor
little osprey

@little osprey depends on the case

Like td500 mesh

Stock config doesn't have exhaust

little osprey

i believe it is a standard mid case

@little osprey everything depends on specifics

@little osprey I wouldn't get a 9600k

@little osprey ram hella overpriced

P400a with no exhaust, still gonna perform amazingly

well the digital version cause who gets the non digital p400a kekw

the 970 is pricey

whole harbor
#

@obsidian dove trust me theres an ssd too

stoic island

Something like a H510 with no exhaust.... Just... Don't...

I wouldn't get that rgb ram since its pretty pricey
