probs

[ripe wedge]

top one usually better

[little osprey]

Ok

[blazing aurora]

are there any good monitors with thin bezels for below 100usd

[ripe wedge]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/fgZFf7/crucial-mx500-500gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-ct500mx500ssd4 @sinful hornet what do you think about this one?

[sinful hornet]

i saw that one too

[little leaf]

top one is always better unless the board has 2 16

[ripe wedge]

but yeah id suggest getting an ssd. especially if you are gaming you will see a difference in load times and maybe even game performance. I had an old hard drive I would play games off of and I saw a pretty significant fps increase playing it on an ssd @sinful hornet

at least get a small ssd for the boot and then hard drive can just be for games

[plain blaze]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cPzsK3

could someone look at this? I have a 1080p 240hz monitor that I'm going to want to stream and play games at the same time. Is this overkill?

[ripe wedge]

processor is a little over kill but everything else is fine

[sinful hornet]

yea, i switched out the hdd for the mx500

[ripe wedge]

id say if you can get a ryzen 9 5900x id go for it but if you can the ryzen 7 5800x is pretty good

[plain blaze]

I might consider upgrading to a 1440p 240hz monitor, will that affect anything?

[sinful hornet]

for only like, 5$ more an nvme is worth for half storage

[carmine marten]

Can anyone link the ebay page with windows 10?

[ripe wedge]

ah good you will see windows will be way more snappier

[ripe wedge]

and no it should be fine playing at 1440p

[sinful hornet]

yea, the guy that wants this pc also wants to stream tho is the problem lul

[ripe wedge]

even 4k gaming if you wanted to

[sinful hornet]

which a 1050 def would not be able to do

[plain blaze]

yeah I'll be streaming most of the time I play games

[sinful hornet]

at least i feel like it wouldnt

i remember trying to record fc4 on my 1060 once

didnt go well

not even stream

[plain blaze]

1060 is not the best for streaming, I have it now

[ripe wedge]

uh yea streaming will be tough on that quad core cpu and the gtx 1050 ti. the 1650 super would be better because it has Nvenc which will lighten the load on the cpu

[sinful hornet]

oh nice, didnt think NVNC was integrated unti lhigher up

like, 60 series

[ripe wedge]

iirc the 1650S has nvenc but let me google check

yes it does

[lyric thistle]

it doesn't work very well does it?

[ripe wedge]

what? nvenc?

[lyric thistle]

the NVENC in the 1650S

[ripe wedge]

I mean its better for sure than volta encoder

[sinful hornet]

how much of the gpu does NVNC actually use?

because with a 1650 super it makes me worried about it taking too much of the load from the cpu and starting to get reduced frames in-game

[ripe wedge]

prolly not much

it would probably only drop the fps by a few

[summer pasture]

Im hoping to get a 3060 ti FE at launch but Im not sure if i can get that online, nvidia website?

[left shore]

So

[summer pasture]

So

[ripe wedge]

nvidia probably wont be selling it on the website

[left shore]

I'm gettting a PC with a Ryzen 3 3100 and a GTX 1060 8 GB of ram 1 TB HDD 550W 80+ white PSU

[ripe wedge]

it will probably be sold by bestbuy

[summer pasture]

Online right

[ripe wedge]

yeea

[left shore]

How much you think I can sell it for

[summer pasture]

Ok wasnt sure

[ripe wedge]

8gb? u mean 6gb?

[summer pasture]

You want to resell it?

[left shore]

No I mean 8GV system memory

[ripe wedge]

and it doesnt even have an ssd?

[left shore]

And yes

[ripe wedge]

ah I see

[summer pasture]

How much did you buy it for

[left shore]

175

[ripe wedge]

is it the 6gb variant or 3gb

[left shore]

Ummm it's the Gigabyte G1

[ripe wedge]

im talking vram

how much vram

[left shore]

So 6GB

[summer pasture]

Yeah you could probably get more by taking it apart and selling individualy

[ripe wedge]

ah nice 6gb is decent

it probably would sell faster that way

but id definitely upgrade it with a ssd before selling

if u wanted to sell the whole thing

[left shore]

Can't I sell it for 400 with a HDD

[ripe wedge]

no

no one will buy it lmao

[left shore]

300?

Ehhh

[ripe wedge]

you can sell it for $400 or maybe even $450 with an ssd

[left shore]

But then that's a 100 dollar investment

[ripe wedge]

no

[sinful hornet]

what

[left shore]

Depends

[sinful hornet]

100$ for ssd

[ripe wedge]

didnt say it had to be a expensive ssd

[left shore]

How much SSD

Lmaoo

[sinful hornet]

just get like, a 500 gig

$50

[ripe wedge]

you could throw in a 128gb ssd for like $20

[sinful hornet]

wait no thats $50 cad

idk how much USD

[summer pasture]

1060: around $150
3100: $120
Ram: $30
Hdd: $40
My guesses

[sinful hornet]

or that

[left shore]

If I did wanna sell it with a HDD how much you think I can get

[sinful hornet]

thats expensive for the HDD

[left shore]

And fr?

[sinful hornet]

just as individual parts

full systems sell for more

[left shore]

Yeah

[summer pasture]

The parts would sell faster system sells for more

[sinful hornet]

at least, that is to people who want them

yea, most people looking to buy used are gonna want individual compoenents

[ripe wedge]

yeah I wouldnt screw over someone like that

[left shore]

Hmm

I can get that amount for the individual parts?

[summer pasture]

I think so

[ripe wedge]

the gtx 1060 would probably be priced $110-140

hdd is 1tb so id say $25-30

[summer pasture]

Ya

[left shore]

Still not baed

Bad

[ripe wedge]

because $10 more the person could buy a brand new 2tb seagate hdd

ram probably would be like $25ish

[left shore]

But as a system I can probably get 400 cuz it has windows

And a case and case fans

[ripe wedge]

is it 2x4 or 1x8?

[summer pasture]

You can sell case and fans too

[left shore]

And it has RGB strips and not sure tbh

Yeah but it's not a good case tbg

Tbh

I got a pic here

[ripe wedge]

imma go eat dinner. if you have more questions ill be here later

[left shore]

1 Stick

[sinful hornet]

thats a nice 1060

dayum

[left shore]

Yeah RGB

Well fake RGB lmao

[little osprey]

Ok so i need some help with my build idk if i plugged in everything correctly since obv its not turning on

[carmine marten]

uh oh

the only thing I know maybe would be re seating the ram and the graphics card

[little osprey]

Its new

I just built it

[carmine marten]

I'm not sure then

[little osprey]

I think ik what it is now

I plugged in the 24 pin that should connect to the psu to the mobo

The jfp1 is where you connect the case button connectors right?

@earnest olive may i have some help 😅

[earnest olive]

with?

[little osprey]

My build

24 pin cpu power are connected

[karmic bobcat]

Look at your manual

[earnest olive]

can you write up all the details first then ping me again cause i'm working on something right now

[karmic bobcat]

[little osprey]

Dude the manual literally has no instructions i sent a pic of it

[karmic bobcat]

Oh yeah

It also has an Intel retention socket and cooler lmfao

[little osprey]

Oh yeah it was showing both intel, amd sockets

[karmic bobcat]

But why Intel if it’s a b550

Darn Chinese

Anyway

[little osprey]

24 pin and cpu connectors are connected. Pcie connectors go to the gpu? I seen that case power conectors should connect to the jfp1 part of the mobo put tbh idk what order and if the order matters and yeah it doesnt turn on

@earnest olive

[earnest olive]

if you didn't plug in the front panel connectors of course the power button doesn't work

the motherboard manual shows how the front panel connectors should be hooked up

[idle hawk]

Stupid question but does anyone know how many rtx 3080s were released into the wild so far

[earnest olive]

no

[idle hawk]

Hm

[little osprey]

Ok lemme take a look at the manual

Its just pics lol

[foggy hazel]

@idle hawk that is confidential information

[earnest olive]

every board i've ever used follows the exact same layout but it's worth making sure anyways

[idle hawk]

On who's authority

[foggy hazel]

nvidia

[idle hawk]

Tbh I thought you were gonna say fury nicholas J

[karmic bobcat]

Joker. Get us the classified documents

[idle hawk]

Lmaoooo

Wish I could

[left shore]

Lol

[idle hawk]

Maybe its in the docs of the box with a secrete good doc of the number of cards sold

[left shore]

Hello

[idle hawk]

Wassup metro lol

[left shore]

Lmao I'm just chilling new card is pretty good

[idle hawk]

I knew u were gonna be happy with the 2070

[left shore]

2070

[idle hawk]

Dammit lmao

[left shore]

I'm gonna wait to see if I can get a 3070 lmao

[idle hawk]

I'm gonna try

I got a list already lol

[left shore]

I'm gonna sell that PC as soon as I can

[little osprey]

Well there is the place they should go and my case only has reset sw hdd led +- and power sw

[snow olive]

the diagram is right there to the left of the tag

[earnest olive]

so plug them in

you can't expect the power button to work if you don't connect it

[idle hawk]

That's literal hell lol

[little osprey]

I had them connected and it didnt turn on

[idle hawk]

My asus board has a adapter that has all the connectors in check so it's a simple one plug and play

[earnest olive]

use screwdriver to short the power sw pins and see if it turns on that way

[idle hawk]

sparks start flying

[exotic marten]

Try power switch bottom left 2 pins

[idle hawk]

Can I sip some bleach with you lmao

[snow olive]

what type of motherboard is that?

[exotic marten]

Clorox only brand

[earnest olive]

these are the power sw pins

if the board turns on when you short those 2 then either you didn't plug in the case connectors properly or something's wrong with them

if the board doesn't turn on either there's something wrong with the hardware or you didn't turn on the power supply

[exotic marten]

Is that what the manual says?

[remote junco]

Am I retarted where does the "sata power" go

[earnest olive]

every motherboard i've ever used (and i've used a lot) had those two as the power sw

but i told him to check his motherboard's manual anyways

[exotic marten]

To the psu?

Those two always been reset switch for me

[little osprey]

Yeah it is

Just checked it

[left shore]

Should I just buy a 3070 off ebay

[idle hawk]

I'm actually curious of how many cards are in the while rn

[earnest olive]

@remote junco plug it into a sata power cable from the power supply

it doesn't plug into the motherboard

if that's what you're asking

[idle hawk]

@foggy hazel I need your powers of haxs

[left shore]

What cards?

[idle hawk]

The 3080 cards

[left shore]

Oh ok

[idle hawk]

The cards that barely exists lol

[left shore]

Lol Ebay 3070 isn't too bad

[idle hawk]

Metro

[left shore]

Shhhh

[idle hawk]

https://c.tenor.com/kDgUaJvL3wIAAAAM/murder-spongebob.gif

Thatll you be

Get off of eBay

[left shore]

Lmaoooo

[little osprey]

Ok so it turned on but the cpu light turned on in the mobo... @earnest olive

[idle hawk]

Is the power connector for the cpu plugged in

[little osprey]

Yeah

[idle hawk]

I hope the cpu didn't die

[earnest olive]

how long did you wait

[languid cedar]

If you bought poisen off of ebay would it be non-poisen

[earnest olive]

cpu light on doesn't always mean the problem is actually the cpu either

[little osprey]

Wdym how long did i wait?

[languid cedar]

Or stronger poisen?

Nani?

[little osprey]

I just plugged in the things and it turned on

[earnest olive]

so it's stuck with cpu light on and not booting?

[little osprey]

Yeh

[earnest olive]

turn it off

[left shore]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-RTX-3070-XC3-Black-Gaming-08G-P5-3751-KR-8GB-GDDR6-SHIPS-TODAY/254788756415?hash=item3b5297e3bf%3Ag%3A0E4AAOSwBSpfvYjd&LH_BIN=1

Now bad

[earnest olive]

take out 1 ram stick and clear cmos

try again

[left shore]

800

[idle hawk]

With that price you can get a 3080

Inflated price

Metro

[earnest olive]

is nobody else available to help right now bc i'm actually really busy right now

😐

[snow olive]

what type of motherboard are you using

[little osprey]

Wait now its a different light

What

[idle hawk]

I'm working on the final

[idle hawk]

For college

[remote junco]

Is one of those things supposed to be missing 😭

[little osprey]

@snow olive msi b550 a pro

Now that light is on

[snow olive]

have you flash updated the bios. some motherboards don't POST with ryzen 3000s/5000s until updated

[earnest olive]

it says 3600x in his name

[little osprey]

All 550 boards work out of box with zen 3

[earnest olive]

b550 is guaranteed to work with zen 2 out of box

no

that's false

zen 2 yes

zen 3 no

but 3600x is zen 2

[little osprey]

Oh alr

[earnest olive]

if it's a zen 3 then no

[little osprey]

So what does boot light mean?

[earnest olive]

zen 3 is 5000 series

[little osprey]

Cause cpu light isnt on anymore now its boot light

[earnest olive]

after cmos clear and 1 ram stick?

[little osprey]

How do i do cmos clear?

[earnest olive]

find cmos pins on your motherboard

short them

make sure pc is off

hold for 15 seconds

[little osprey]

Psu off or on?

[earnest olive]

psu on

pc off

[little osprey]

Ok

[fleet pagoda]

My grandma is buying me a pc for christmas can someone make me a list bidget is 1k

[little osprey]

Is it those 2 under the bat? @earnest olive

[left shore]

Your grandma is a goat

[fleet pagoda]

Indeed

[earnest olive]

yes

[fleet pagoda]

The best

[little osprey]

Ok so just touch both pins with screwdriver?

[earnest olive]

yes

hold for 15 seconds

[little osprey]

Alr

Ok cpu light is on again @earnest olive

[fleet pagoda]

Can someone help me w a part list budget 1k

[earnest olive]

can you ask someone else like i said i am busy

[summer pasture]

@fleet pagoda
Cpu: 5 5600 when it comes out
Gpu: 3050 ti if that comes out for around $250 if not 1660 super

[earnest olive]

i am trying to write a paper

[little osprey]

Not zen 3like sips said

[summer pasture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wnQYXb

Forgot the link

[little osprey]

3600x is zen 2 @snow olive

[snow olive]

zen 2 but gen 3

[little osprey]

@stoic island you available?

3600x should work with 550 mobos

Out of box no need for bios update

[ebon island]

most of the b550 boards have flash bios for compatibility with 3rd gen

a button

[cloud oasis]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wsZDwz

List

For dom

[snow olive]

I had a gigabyte aeorus b550 and 3900x and i was having the same issues then i flashed bios and it worked. just saying.

[cloud oasis]

Unless he wants amd

[little osprey]

Press button pc on or off?

@snow olive

[ebon island]

theres a flash bios tutorial by MSI i think on youtube

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

[fleet pagoda]

Is there a release date on the 3060 ti uet

[summer pasture]

@cloud oasis You Could Get A Smaller Psu and get a cpu cooler that cpu doesnt come with one.

No but its gonna be $400

[fossil halo]

Most likely next week

[fleet pagoda]

Thats gonna be pog ima buy it

[summer pasture]

I might get it too

[fleet pagoda]

I hope i can

Is there still a problem w buying it

W it getting sold out fast

[summer pasture]

There most likely will be

[fleet pagoda]

Will they be in store like at best buy

[summer pasture]

I might wait for normal 3060, and yes i think in store and online

[fleet pagoda]

Ill try my luck at both

[stoic island]

b550 with 3600 without bios update yea

[summer pasture]

Online will probably be gone faster

[fleet pagoda]

Im gonna have a nice pc and no money left for games😂

[summer pasture]

That exactly what happened to me

[ebon island]

btw for the flash bios button bios update you need a USB 2.0 thumbstick not a USB 3.0

the other option is getting someones old gen 2 CPU i think

[little osprey]

I have a 2.0 stick but also its a new build no windows too

[snow olive]

you can download the rom file from msi from any computer.

[ebon island]

i dont think you need anything but power to the motherboard

the video is very thorough, just follow it, gotta check the mobo's manual for the flash bios port

[snow olive]

you don't even need a cpu installed to flash that board.

[hoary lichen]

@fleet pagoda i might be able to give you gta for free

I made multiple epic accounts from the time where they made it free

[obsidian dove]

Hey yall have any decent monitors suggetions around $100ish

[hoary lichen]

I mean

Here

Actually whats your budget?

[obsidian dove]

for the monitor?

[hoary lichen]

For the pc

So i can guess the fps

🗿

[median acorn]

Look into Asus monitors

[obsidian dove]

500-600 but the pc so far is 550 so ill have to spend more

[obsidian dove]

ok thx

[hoary lichen]

https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-vg24vq-90lm0570-b011b0-23-6/p/N82E16824281027?item=N82E16824281027

[fleet pagoda]

What of power supply would i need for a 3060ti

[hoary lichen]

@fleet pagoda depends on the cpu as well

[fleet pagoda]

3700x

[obsidian dove]

cool cool thx ill look into it!

[median acorn]

I would generally prefer LG, AOC, or Viewsonic but they are all out of your range

[obsidian dove]

;l most things are XD

well i keep lookin

[hoary lichen]

@fleet pagoda is there even a 3060ti?

[ornate solstice]

Which case should I buy Montech X1 White ATX Mid-Tower Case/High Airflow, Front Mesh Ventilation, Tempered Glass Side Panel, Pre-Installed 4 x 120mm Autoflow Rainbow LED Fans https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CMWD2XM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_qdCVFbRPK8BWP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Or

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082LZ844J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_hfCVFbZ39S9T6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[median acorn]

I have the Darkflash DLM21 Airflow and it's a nice case

But if I'm being honest, I wouldn't put high end components in their

*there

There just isn't enough air flow for the GPU

I have a 2.75 slot card

lmao

[ornate solstice]

Same

[hoary lichen]

Id prefer the 1st one

[median acorn]

But if you have a thin card then you will be fine

@ornate solstice I would go Darkflash

The first case looks poorly built

[ornate solstice]

I have a thicc card

2.75

[median acorn]

Both cases seem to be the same size

[hoary lichen]

I never realized it but my gpu is chunky😳

[median acorn]

I think you should do Mid tower then

@ornate solstice

What card btw?

[hoary lichen]

Im getting this cheap cooler master case for now

If i need too

Ill return it and get another one instead

[ornate solstice]

So which case should I get the Montech or the dark flash

I’m using a 5700xt

Idk which one

[median acorn]

What brand 5700xt?

[ornate solstice]

Not sure yet maybe asrock

[median acorn]

Ok

[ornate solstice]

Or gigabyte

Idk one of those tho

[median acorn]

I would go Gigabyte imo

But why don't you just wait till the 6800 comes bacc in stock?

It will be like 70 dollars more

[ornate solstice]

Nevermind its to expensive the gigabyte

[median acorn]

Ah

[vital warren]

6800 is like 180 over the 5700 xt not 70

[ornate solstice]

$410 is max I’m spending on a gpu without tax

[median acorn]

Ah ok

[median acorn]

Ok

[median acorn]

Get a mid tower case if you can

It's just gonna be better

[ornate solstice]

Find me one either black and white or all black or all white

I’ll send you my parts list so you can see if the case would work

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3b8sK3

[median acorn]

https://www.newegg.com/global/sg-en/p/N82E16811553063?Item=N82E16811553063&Description=case&cm_re=case-_-11-553-063-_-Product

[ornate solstice]

That’s case is umm🤢

The front panel

[median acorn]

Lol

@ornate solstice Upon further inspection I have found that the Montech X1 is actually Mid tower

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CMWD2XM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_qdCVFbRPK8BWP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Lol

So if you like that then go with that

[ornate solstice]

Ok

[median acorn]

I would get it in black tho

It looks better

[ornate solstice]

I am

[median acorn]

Nice

[fleet pagoda]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7TVyF8 how is this going for a 3060ti with it

Im really unsure abt the mobo bc idk anything abt them

[carmine marten]

has anyone here bought windows 10 off ebay?

[ornate solstice]

Nope

[median acorn]

Nope

[ornate solstice]

Mine came with my pc

[median acorn]

I love your profile pic

[carmine marten]

damn

[mortal garnet]

any recommendations for liquid aios

[fleet pagoda]

@median acorn hehe ty😅

[mortal garnet]

ik the arctic freezr is really good but dont like the aesthetics

[median acorn]

And that's really good so far

[fleet pagoda]

Ty ty😌😌

[median acorn]

Its just Zen 2 won't work out of the box with b550

I don't think

You may have to research and make sure

[fleet pagoda]

Idk which motherboard i should use

Im alr over budget so idk

[median acorn]

The one you have chosen is good

[fleet pagoda]

Alr

[weak field]

[median acorn]

But if you want to go cheaper the B550M DS3H by Gigabyte should be cheaper and it should still be good

[median acorn]

KERMITTTT!!!!!

love that

[weak field]

am alive yes

[median acorn]

lmao

[fossil halo]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RCPNp2

how is this list

for 665

without the gpu

just like imagine like a 150$ gpu in there

rx 570 or smth

basically i cant imporve the gpu so i j took it out of the list

[vital warren]

why a 3700x

[fossil halo]

bc why no

t

[vital warren]

are you gaming?

[fossil halo]

no but i mean it fit in the budget so i put it there

[vital warren]

whatever works then

but if you plan on gaming then uh, bad list

[fossil halo]

no not really much gaming

like

maybe occasional fortnite at 60fps on high

but most of that is gpu based so its kinda irrelevant

assume that the gpu can run fortnite

im thinking like cooling productivity wise

6 fans is more than enough i think

3 in front one on back two on top

[static sierra]

anyone happening to run a 5950x air cooled?

[summer pasture]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[median acorn]

Go Nauru’s

[late otter]

Hello, first time user to this server. Is it ok if I ask for build advice on this channel?

[fossil halo]

Yes sir

[late otter]

Thanks
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2twpht

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8BGw3Z
I'm thinking of getting one of these builds for mainly gaming, art, and possibly streaming. I'd like to hear which builds you guys think is the best for all that.

These are basically planned as my ultra modded skyrim and fallout 4/new Vegas machines with these builds. My budget is around $1,500

I'm mainly torn between the Intel i7 10 and the Ryzen 5600x. Which ones are considered better for gaming and streaming?

[fossil halo]

Ryzen 5600x by far

Its better than an i9 in most cases iirc

@late otter why u have 32 gb in the first build and 16 in the second one

I mean if that matters

[late otter]

The first build was someone's suggestion on reddit. The Ryzen 5600x one was the one I made.

And the person who gave me that list said that more cores and the integrated graphics are better choices if I want to stream

[fossil halo]

No

If u have a dgpu why would u need igpu

Doesn't matter

I7 is far worse than 5600x for gaming and streaming

[vital warren]

cpu don't really matter because you'll be streaming off of your gpu

using the nvenc

[late otter]

Yeah but I was thinking that if I use the i7's igpu then I could have it run my stream while the dgpu runs everything else. Giving me more dgpu power for art or gaming

[fossil halo]

Nah don't think so

[late otter]

They also gave me the 32 ram because they said it wpuld be important for streaming too

[little osprey]

@earnest olive remember that prebuilt upgrade i was talking about a few days ago?

my dad ordered a 2.5 inch 1tb ssd

[earnest olive]

if my status is set to do not disturb it means do not disturb

i am writing a paper

[little osprey]

ok

[wise swan]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q7ksK3 aiming for 800, need a gpu, if anyone has a suggestion for a change up, im all ears

[whole forum]

Do I need anything special to be able to connect to wireless wifi?

[little osprey]

^^

i need that question answered too lmao

[late otter]

So I'm thinking I'll keep the first build, just replace the cpu, the motherborde, and my second build's ssd. Dose that seem like a good idea?

[whole forum]

@wise swan I would reccomend a 1660 super

[little osprey]

no a 1660 super is like a console

[ornate solstice]

Is this a good gpu https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Vh9tt6/asrock-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8-gb-phantom-gaming-d-oc-video-card-rx5700xt-pgd-8go

[little osprey]

kae try to a find a rtx 2060 used.

[whole forum]

yes

[little osprey]

anything 2060+ used that is good like not broken or anything take it

or if u know the guy isn’t a total scammer

[queen totem]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7D6dqp can somebody try to subsitute parts cuz my budget is 850 to 875

[whole forum]

I bought a 1660 ti before i realised i shoulda gotten a super

[little osprey]

@queen totem substitute the mother board

[vital warren]

the 1660ti is better than the super

[queen totem]

@little osprey can u suggest one i need wifi built in

[vital warren]

but pricing on it is eh

[ornate solstice]

Is this a good gpu https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Vh9tt6/asrock-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8-gb-phantom-gaming-d-oc-video-card-rx5700xt-pgd-8go

[little osprey]

Stupid windows media creation tool isnt working

[zinc marsh]

I mean I would say replace motherboard but it's hard to find cheaper wifi boards out there

[little osprey]

@queen totem surr hold on

[queen totem]

@little osprey ok thx

[late otter]

@little osprey wby a 20 series? The 3070 is better then most of them and it's at a pretty good price I think. Plus all the 20 series gpu's I've seen have been more expensive

[whole forum]

@queen totem Get a diff GPU cause that PSU will most likely not be enough for that system and if you want to upgrade in the future you should get a b550 mobo

[queen totem]

ok

[little osprey]

@queen totem

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TZ4h9N

[zinc marsh]

he said he needed wifi

[queen totem]

ok thx

ya

[little osprey]

widi?

wifi*

[whole forum]

and also i would reccomend buying a small HHD for junk files

[ruby ledge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kBfjGq
Thoughts?

[little osprey]

@ruby ledge you’ll have to wait for that build

[fossil halo]

i really

dont see the reason

[ruby ledge]

wdym?

[fossil halo]

of using intel in this age

[little osprey]

the asus tuf isn’t it out of stock?

[zinc marsh]

Looks alright, might want to get some more cooling in there

[ruby ledge]

yeah

[fossil halo]

like its bad for budget and now with the 5000 series bad for high end as well

[little osprey]

your gonna have to wait for the 1660 super tuf to come back in stuck

[fossil halo]

like why intel now

[little osprey]

stock*

[fossil halo]

j build amd

the cpus are slightly more expensive rn bc of stock issues but the mobos are cheaper

[low star]

You need a cooler

[little osprey]

no^

[ruby ledge]

10400 stock cooler

i'm not going to be overclocking

[little osprey]

you don’t need a cooler

the 3600 comes with a wraith stealth cooler

[zinc marsh]

You dont need a cooler but i would still put in some extra fans in the case, you only have 1 built in with the case

It would probably be sufficient but I'm not sure

[little osprey]

i recommend Uphere 3 pack fan cases those are a good budget case fans

23$ on amazon i think

[whole forum]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hudz./saved/#view=4ryhkL this is my build im doing if anybody else wants something like it

[little osprey]

@whole forum your budget is 1,000$?

[whole forum]

the 1660 ti isnt really that expensive tho

ye

[little osprey]

the 3600x is 250 on best buy

[whole forum]

i already bought mine

[vital warren]

if you're just gaming you can fit a 3600 + 3070 for a lil over 1k

[little osprey]

ohhh ok i see

[vital warren]

o

[whole forum]

i have the cpu, gpu, ram, and case rn

[little osprey]

and your missing the ssd, hard drive, uhh power supply?

[whole forum]

and mobo

[little osprey]

so like 400$

cpu and gpu really make up expensive pcs🤣🤣

[whole forum]

Little bit less its around 350

fr

i got my 1660 ri for the price of a super

1660 ti*

[little osprey]

i got my 2060 sc ultra for only 200

[whole forum]

daaaanngg

[little osprey]

funny story my girlfriends brother was upgrading to a 2070 super so he sold me his 2060 for only $200

[whole forum]

oh nice

ima probably upgrade to a Ryzen 7 and a 3060 or 3070 in a few years

[vital oracle]

how big of a difference is there between a 1660 and a 1660 super?

i need an answer rlly fast plz

if i dont buy within the next 2 minutes the bid will end

[earnest olive]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-1660-vs-GeForce-GTX-1660-SUPER/4062vs4159

[vital oracle]

so its not that big of a differenc

[little osprey]

Where do I have to connect an HDMI to a PC? The gpu?

[ornate solstice]

What things should I buy today up to $740 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f7ksK3

[zinc marsh]

well I mean it doesnt really matter what you buy first does it

[ornate solstice]

But like what might sell out soon

I want to get it before they do

[zinc marsh]

Out of those parts? non most likely

some will probably go cheaper eventually

I'd say maybe wait on the cpu cuz it could go a bit cheaper in a few months

[whole forum]

@little osprey you need to buy a wireless network adapter to be able to connect to wifi unless your mobo has it built in

[zinc marsh]

I doubt that gpu would go out of stock or become pricey so it doesnt really matter

[ornate solstice]

Ok

[jagged ember]

Yes

[little osprey]

Damn, so I can’t connect my pc into a monitor and check for everything to work without a gpu?

[zinc marsh]

mhm, I had the same issue when plugging in one of my first pcs. didnt realize it mattered lol

[jagged ember]

If your pc has integrated graphics

You don't need one

i.e the 3200G

In that case, you can plug into your mobo hdmi port to check

[zinc marsh]

I mean if your cpu has integrated graphics but doubt it does unless it's intel

[jagged ember]

No, amd has them too

[zinc marsh]

I know but not a lot of the newer cpus

[jagged ember]

True

None of the newer ones I know have igpus

From amd

[zinc marsh]

yeah

I guess they kinda figure if you're buying a cpu like that you're probably going to want a graphics card

[earnest olive]

that assumes everyone is a gamer

[little osprey]

How do i check if it’s got integrated graphics?

I got a B550 Tomahawk

[jagged ember]

That depends on cpu

[little osprey]

Ooh my bad, it’s a 3600

[jagged ember]

Oop

Yeah, no igpu on that

Good cpu, though

[little osprey]

Damn rip, guess I gotta wait for gpu

[jagged ember]

technically?

Just buy cheapo gpu for testing

Return afterwards

[little osprey]

Eh would be too much time for me

[jagged ember]

Fair enough

[little osprey]

Thanks for the help though

[earnest olive]

any friends that can lend you one?

[jagged ember]

Man sips you have friends?

[earnest olive]

should definitely check if it's working so you don't miss return windows if something is defective

returning to retailer is a lot faster than RMA

[jagged ember]

Tru

@little osprey

[earnest olive]

yeah i have a few irl friends who are pc enthusiasts too

so if i needed to borrow a gpu to check for functionality i could

[jagged ember]

That's why you techie and I'm not

[earnest olive]

one of them went custom loop even

[little osprey]

Naw no one I know does, I’m just praying I can get my hands on a 3080 quick

[earnest olive]

good luck... i've been trying to buy one since september

[jagged ember]

Good luck with that honest

[earnest olive]

i am so tired of this gtx 1060

you might as well buy a temporary gpu now

this 1060 is my temporary

[jagged ember]

Yeah true

[earnest olive]

if you're aiming for a 3080 you're not exactly short on money

[jagged ember]

1660 or something for now?

[earnest olive]

can grab an rx 570 for $70

[little osprey]

It’s not coming outta my pocket so I kinda am

[jagged ember]

Or from amd side

[earnest olive]

ah

parents?

[little osprey]

Dad

[earnest olive]

o h

[jagged ember]

Lol

[little osprey]

Autocorrect

[earnest olive]

yeah... sure

[jagged ember]

Sure

😆

[earnest olive]

i mean i have a few friends who do that... i'm not judging

[little osprey]

Oh, hook me up den

[jagged ember]

Me neither

[little osprey]

Shart

Guess I gotta start lookin for sugar daddies instead of 3080s

[earnest olive]

i mean girls buy me stuff in games sometimes but nothing as expensive as a 3080

[little osprey]

Modern problems require modern solutions

[jagged ember]

What's the term for the female equivalent

[little osprey]

Sugar mama?

[jagged ember]

Yeah, think so

[earnest olive]

https://tenor.com/view/gpu-kawaii-rtx-2080-gif-18883392

ask her for a 3080

[little osprey]

Lmfao

[earnest olive]

but yeah if your plan is to get a 3080 you should actually get a temporary gpu cause otherwise it could take months

[jagged ember]

Wonder how heavy it is

[earnest olive]

been more than 2 months for me

[jagged ember]

But yes

[earnest olive]

i was there refreshing on launch day

[jagged ember]

This is advice I'd follow

[little osprey]

True, though I’ve been hearing rumors there might be a big drop December, plus I joined a discord that tracks drops

i want a 6800xt now

no more 3080 for me

why ask if you can ask a question when you can just ask the question

[fossil halo]

ah yes

i like to ask if i can ask a question when the goal is just to ask a question

[grim tide]

i5 10010 1.10ghz with 12 gb ram does not go together

right

[open peak]

Anyone happen to have experience with the MSI MAG342CQRV?

I haven't been able to find reviews for it anywhere

[earnest olive]

@grim tide there is no such thing as an i5-10010

i would ask if you meant an i5-10210U or i5-10210Y but neither of those are 1.1ghz base

so i really have no idea what you're referring to

either way 12GB of RAM is perfectly fine for a general school/office work machine

[glacial umbra]

what's a decent budget 500gb ssd with dram?

480gb works as well, anything around that size

[earnest olive]

@glacial umbra https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fsqhP6/team-mp34-512-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-tm8fp4512g0c101

Yo im building a pc on stream who wanna watch?

crazy build

[little osprey]

[regal lava]

Hey i am building a pc and imma need to use WiFi because I can’t direct connect to the router. What should I be looking for in a WiFi card?

[little osprey]

Just get a mother board with wifi built in

[snow olive]

@little osprey what did you end up doing to get your pc to power up

[little osprey]

Well the flash bios worked

So thanks for that

@snow olive

Everything is up and running

[snow olive]

That's great! you're ready for the 5950x next.

[little osprey]

Haha one day

Paired with a 6900xt

[twilit wing]

Help

A build in 500 dollar budget

¿

[little osprey]

That is a really low budget it would be hard to even build something with it

I just got blue screened

Sadge

[wary tundra]

@austere patrol pleaseee vertical mount it

that would look amazing

[little leaf]

vertical mounting has its problems

[wary tundra]

it does but my god it looks amazing

[little leaf]

eh

[wary tundra]

depends on the card

[austere patrol]

Sadly don't have a vertical mount

[wary tundra]

ouuu royals

[austere patrol]

Bruh the card is so heavy

[little osprey]

So idk if its windows or my gpu but it wont even get to the login screen before rebooting and trying again

[wary tundra]

I have basic trident z's 😦

[little osprey]

It was working a sec a go and then pc just reboots and keeps doing it. Maybe yall were right about amds driver issues lol

[little leaf]

Boot cycling is generally not a graphics card issue

[little osprey]

Well after it did that the vga light on my mobo turned on

In the morning ill switch the gpu to the other pcie slot. If that doesnt work ill try the spare pcie power cable

[little leaf]

Could you listen

for a sec

[little osprey]

Yes

[austere patrol]

Wait I have to reroute my cables lmao

[little leaf]

Do basic trouble shooting

[little osprey]

Ok like?

[austere patrol]

Put it in rice

[little osprey]

I cleared cmos like twice already it did turn the vga light off but it still kept rebooting

[little leaf]

Make sure the ram is in

[little osprey]

I did both rams are identified in bios

[little leaf]

try booting without the ssd to just see if you can get in bios

[little osprey]

It lets me get into bios but then when i leave and try to use the computer thats when it starts rebooting

I tried both display ports and hdmi ports and it does it in both

I got blue screen twice from windows so maybe its just windows being dumb

[little leaf]

reinstall windows

[little osprey]

I will do that in the morning. Cause im in bed rn lol

But also how

Just boot off of usb again?

[little leaf]

yes

[little osprey]

It automatically deletes the one previously installed?

[little leaf]

if you install it on the same partition

[little osprey]

I installed it onto my m.2

[icy quail]

so I got this problem with my two monitors, and whenever I have a game fullscreen and go back and forth between the monitors it flickers white. I've already rolled back the graphics card driver. Any suggestions?

[mortal void]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z8dvRT

The build I want

[little leaf]

@mortal void not greate

[mortal void]

ok and why do you think such things

[little osprey]

If you can afford it you can get 3600 RAM sticks for a little more, also I’m sure you can get a cheaper PCU

[little leaf]

For one

Its just not a good build for 1700cad

[mortal void]

too expensive compared to the budget RAM

[mortal void]

I mean, I like it

[mortal void]

and the monitor probably won't be something I'll get with the whole build. Will probably just run with my 1080p 60hz TV and get a monitor later IDK.

first off, gotta get money, and then I'll decide what I wanna do from there

time for sleep

[glacial umbra]

why isn't that a good build for 1700?

I mean sure, you could get a much cheaper 5700 model but it's not terrible

the 3600 ram wouldn't be needed, the cpu is decent but rn the prices are weird

the PSU is a lot for the build but if you plan on upgrading a little bit, it's decent enough

https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_1938&item_id=096574

[ripe wedge]

id rather buy the 5700xt used for way cheaper

than buying it new

its considered last gen

and thats like full price

not worth

[stark scroll]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xPwn2V

what do you think about this builds?

is it good for 800

[glacial umbra]

will that cpu work well enough with the 5700xt?

One second

yeah it's decent enough

I'd maybe upgrade the motherboard and ram

and throw in a hard drive later on for game storage

dknow how much further you'd be able to stretch your budget though

[stark scroll]

i’m pretty new to pc and idk if it’s good or not

[glacial umbra]

what's your budget?

[ornate solstice]

I’m getting an r7 3700 and a 5700xt Which should I get the b550m ds3h or b450 pro 4?

[little osprey]

Does anyone know of I can turn my gpu into a liquid cooled gpu?

If I can I'll also do it for my cpu as well

[obsidian dove]

Hey everyone so I keep hearing about the gtx 1650 super as a good budget gpu but ive been told that even tho its older the gigabyte rx 580 8gb is better or as some have said "more bang for your buck" is there any truth to that?

[stoic island]

@ornate solstice B550.

@obsidian dove 1650 super is basically 580, except you get NVENC

1650 super should beat 580 in gaming tho

assuming 1080p

[obsidian dove]

@stoic island See ive heard so many different things!

[stoic island]

@obsidian dove passmark time
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-1650-SUPER-vs-Radeon-RX-580/4167vs3736

[obsidian dove]

like i found this @stoic island

[obsidian dove]

I wish i understood that xD

[stoic island]

lmfao it's that guy with 1.4v CPU again

his CPU is gonna die

[obsidian dove]

;l yikes so you think 1650 is better?

[stoic island]

@obsidian dove Doesn't show CPU frequency, that comparison might have the CPU running at different clocks.

I think 1650 super is better

[obsidian dove]

oh... ok its also newer right?

[stoic island]

tho I'm seriously curious what clocks they're trying to get with 1.4v lmao

yea

[obsidian dove]

cuz the rx 580 is like 3 years old lol

[stoic island]

ye

[obsidian dove]

ok cool cool! So is the 1650 cheaper aswell?

[stoic island]

usually it is

~160usd

[obsidian dove]

ok awesome is there a specific one when i search it i find different ones EVGA, MSI .......

[cold jewel]

1.4v is usually fine with Ryzen CPUs

[stoic island]

wdym

Simply :
https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/f18cbc/reviewing_voltage_recommendations_for_zen_2/

[obsidian dove]

@stoic island So I asked the same question on another discord this is what was said "The rx 580 has more vram than the 1650 super so it can run games better"

[cold jewel]

You said before he is going to kill his CPU

[stoic island]

I know I deteriorated my chip with 1.375v so

[cold jewel]

Well yes it isn't recommended at all but it can technically do it.

[stoic island]

early sample 3800x

[cold jewel]

Rlly?

[stoic island]

Yes

I've done it

I used to get 4.3ghz at 1.375v, and 4.4 at ~1.38

now I need 1.4v to even push 4.3

[cold jewel]

Huh I've been able to push Zen 2 chips a little higher than 1.4v.

My FX-8320 was able to take quite a but back in the day good old bulldozer

bit*

[stoic island]

They start deteriorating if you use it at a higher than liked voltage for any real amount of time

If your chip doesn't like it over say 1.35v, and you start running at 1.4v for a month, you're not gonna be able to get clocks you used to get with the current voltage

[cold jewel]

Well ofc

I don't see why his r5 3600 needs to go at 1.4v anyhoe

Anyhow

[stoic island]

anyways, there's even reports of deterioration at 1.35v

so, better be safe than sorry

[cold jewel]

I believe it.

[stoic island]

Yea 1.4v is just

bad idea

unless you're just doing it for a bench score

[cold jewel]

Usually new overclockers don't understand that voltage is more of a death threat to a CPU than temp is.

[stoic island]

heh

run it at 110c and it's gonna be fine

just throttle

[cold jewel]

They think that aslong as the temp is low they can keep pushing it 🤣🤣

[stoic island]

Tho heat is easier to physically damage the chip directly

but CPU has protections :P

yea

@cold jewel LN2 = 1.6v time

[still roost]

Joe Bohack#1409 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cold jewel]

Oops

[stoic island]

bad words :P

[cold jewel]

I suppose but voltage can really mess up your CPU quickly depending on how far you take it 🤣

Some people got tappy fingers in the bios increasing the voltage as high as it can go and try to push the clock as high is it can go then test like that 🤣

[stoic island]

I mean

they got half of it right

[still roost]

Joe Bohack#1409 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cold jewel]

:l

I thought I said that word in this chat before welp I guess not 🤣

[stoic island]

Anyhow my friend was trying to overclock one day and started smelling smoke from his motherboard 🤣

Can someone fix this for me it’s over budget already https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wn7Jwz

[stoic island]

sure

@ornate solstice revised, a bit cheaper, do you want it to be even cheaper?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YRKV4d

[ornate solstice]

If you can then yes

Can I use 3200 ram?

[stoic island]

CPU wise I'd get a 3600 instead of 3700x to save money if you're just gaming

[ornate solstice]

I’m a streamer and video editor

Quick question why can’t I use my m.2

[stoic island]

hm?

250gb is just too small imo

P2 is cheaper at 500gb afaik

[arctic jungle]

but 9700k...

why not buy a 9700k?

[stoic island]

no antago

no

[arctic jungle]

it's 200$

[stoic island]

where

MC?

[arctic jungle]

yeah

amazon too I think

[stoic island]

:P

[ornate solstice]

Well I have a 1tb hdd here so the 2tb will give me 3tb in total so that’s should be more than enough right?

[stoic island]

not amazon

@ornate solstice do remember what you want to put on the SSD

OS, software, and games

I'd rather have games I play often on the SSD than the HDD

[arctic jungle]

yeah 260 on amzn, 200 on microcenter

[stoic island]

sad

[ornate solstice]

Games are going on my 2tb

[arctic jungle]

@ornate solstice do you have a microcenter near u?

[ornate solstice]

Hell no

[stoic island]

uh I'd suggest SSD for games still :(

[ornate solstice]

Like 10hours away

[arctic jungle]

lmaoO

cuz this exists- https://www.microcenter.com/product/512484/intel-core-i7-9700k-coffee-lake-36ghz-eight-core-lga-1151-boxed-processor

[ornate solstice]

I was told to use the m.2 to boot my pc

[stoic island]

you're joking

[arctic jungle]

yeah

i'll send an ss

[stoic island]

Yea you want OS on SSD

[stoic island]

nice

[ornate solstice]

Yes os on ssd

[arctic jungle]

but still even from amazon or newegg- 260 isn't a bad price for a 9700k

[ornate solstice]

Also it’s actually 3hours away

[arctic jungle]

yeah I don't think you'd be willing to drive that far

[ornate solstice]

But that means I have to drive 3hours there and 3 hours back

[arctic jungle]

yeah

it's 260$ on amazon

worth in my opinion

[ornate solstice]

And I could use my gas money for my pc

[inner mortar]

so do y'all recommend a 3600 for budget gaming?

[arctic jungle]

yes

absolutely

but 9700k if ur near a microcenter

[inner mortar]

wow that was quick haha

nah intel doodoo

[arctic jungle]

well can't help much :/ then

but sure
