quartz loom
#

How

viral ore
#

what you doing that only needs 8gb of ram?

foggy hazel
#

IF you wait for stock of the case, its a fair deal cheaper

viral ore
#

for the majority of games, 16gb is the better option

foggy hazel
#

also, please change ssd

#

mp34 comes to mind

drifting garnet
#

Could thermal throttling be causing multiplayer lag? My friends are complaining that I am lagging on their screens and my internet is fine, so could this be the cause?

eager flower
#

The 970 evo is faster than the mp34 and its the same price rn

stoic island
#

What about their internet :D

eager flower
#

so buy the evo rn

stoic island
#

MP34 was cheaper by like 2$ last I checked

viral ore
#

i think thats not actually a bad 2.5inch ssd

stoic island
#

lel

#

@drifting garnet they might be laggin

viral ore
#

lemme check da specs

eager flower
#

i mean for $2 more the evo is worth lol

#

sir thatsyour IP

#

lmao

stoic island
#

I mean for $2 more the sn750 is worth lol

eager flower
#

might wanna delete the screenshot

drifting garnet
#

damn it

little osprey
#

Might be your ping.

drifting garnet
#

Hopefully no psychopaths here

viral ore
#

hynix gold S31 isnt bad for 45 dollars

drifting garnet
viral ore
#

but, its worth the extra 15 for an nvme drive

weak field
#

mp34

#

waaaaaat out of your price point tho

#

like 3 dollars more

#

😰

#

yeah the mp34 like 64 i think??

stoic island
#

wdym

viral ore
#

10100 stock cooler vs gammaxx 400?

quasi snow
#

Intel stock cooler is pretty bad

viral ore
#

yeah, but 10100 is pretty low power

#

does it even come with a stock cooler? I thought it did

wicked olive
#

can you guys give me some recommendations? This is my first build and I have a max budget of $1400 but the cheaper the better. Also, not planning to buy both ssds, just trying to decide which is the better option. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xnJWrr

stoic island
#

oh boy

#

a fun one

#

@wicked olive try to get a 3070 whenever possible

#

SSD wise is decent, but like MP34 or SX8200 pro is basically same price for a lot more performance

#

(against 860evo)

wicked olive
stoic island
#

it's not out yet

#

so we can't tell ya

foggy hazel
#

you must be new to pc hardware

#

bad products get released all the time

#

3090 is one

#

the 10900 is another

ripe crystal
viral ore
#

dont plan on it

lyric thistle
#

why are the bottom ones pulling down?

ripe crystal
#

hum

lyric thistle
#

and the top right one could also be harmful to the airflow

ripe crystal
#

because I tought at first that the gpu was pushing the air to the bottom...

hoary lichen
#

@stoic island

lyric thistle
#

no, it pulls air up

hoary lichen
#

I need some help rn

lyric thistle
#

as you uh indicated in the picture lol

ripe wedge
#

flip the bottom fans

hoary lichen
#

Yo @lyric thistle you think you can help?

ripe wedge
#

face down

hoary lichen
#

What are these

lyric thistle
#

PSU cables

ripe crystal
#

So I should put those at the bottom to push the air to the gpu

hoary lichen
#

But

ripe crystal
hoary lichen
#

Idk how to use them

#

🗿

stoic island
#

wat

hoary lichen
#

Ik know its for the fan remote

lyric thistle
#

bottom left, 24 pin board power, bottom right, SATA drive power cables

ripe wedge
#

so make it so it pulls air in through the bottom of the case and blows fresh air on the gpu

hoary lichen
#

But

#

@stoic island

#

Where do i plug these in

lyric thistle
#

you plug them in

hoary lichen
#

I need some help rn

ripe crystal
#

is that a problem ?

#

well I'm sure it can only help

hybrid wing
#

apparently my mobo only support up to 2933mhz, stupid alienware

ripe wedge
#

I mean

lyric thistle
#

even just taking out the bottom two fans, and the top right fan, would be better than leaving them as is

ripe wedge
foggy hazel
#

@hybrid wing that is not the mainboards fault as such, its the default cpu limit

hybrid wing
ripe crystal
#

Good, I'll be doing thit right away. Thanks

foggy hazel
#

and? that does not change the limit @hybrid wing

verbal quarry
hybrid wing
verbal quarry
#

best i could do

foggy hazel
#

2666 for the 8700 and 8700k actually

#

by default

hybrid wing
#

BRUH

foggy hazel
ripe wedge
#

gotta enable xmp

hybrid wing
#

in bios?

ripe wedge
#

wait no the 8700 cant

rotund river
#

I have an up and running old office pc I'm trying to sell but I don't know how much for

ripe wedge
#

iirc

#

idk tho

hybrid wing
#

cause im getting 3600mhz for my 5900x and i wanted to see if it can run with my 8700 while im waiting for it

#

apparently not 😠

foggy hazel
#

the ram will just clock down

hybrid wing
#

to2666?

foggy hazel
#

so you can test if it actually works

hybrid wing
#

or to 2933?

foggy hazel
#

it will clock down to whatever the board and cpu supports

hybrid wing
#

but it will still work and not blow up my pc right?

foggy hazel
#

in theory yes

hybrid wing
#

why in theory

ripe wedge
#

yeah

#

so the ram should just go down in speed

#

and when u get ur 5900x it will go full speed

stoic island
#

sped

hybrid wing
#

ok and my parts in my pc wont go buggy or die rihgt?

foggy hazel
hybrid wing
#

bruh

#

its legit click one ram stick in channel 2

#

and the other in channel 4

ripe wedge
#

yep

#

and also make sure to face right direction

hybrid wing
#

ok so no boom boom, just slow slow

hybrid wing
ripe wedge
#

ye

foggy hazel
hybrid wing
#

perfect, and the ryzen version of the gskill trident z will work perfectly fine, just double checking?

foggy hazel
#

no need for language like that

#

and dont dodge the filter either

hybrid wing
#

well if doesnt go in one way

#

how many ways can it go in

exotic vault
#

Intel or amd

hybrid wing
#

cpu intel, ram amd, but im buying the ram for amd later on

ripe wedge
#

im trying to find that gif where the guy hammers the ram into the ram slot

#

heres this instead

lyric thistle
#

😳

#

,.ramm...

ripe wedge
#

ram go brr

still bay
#

3900xt or 10900k?

near iron
#

What ram should I purchase for a 5900x, I don’t even know what motherboard to get, probably wait till Jan/feb.

stoic island
#

10900k if those two are the only options

near iron
#

Speaking of ram 🐏.

stoic island
#

@near iron what are you planning to do with the machine?

still bay
#

also is the 5800x better than the 10900k

near iron
#

Video editing, I’ll def get at least 64gb but I don’t know the different be between all the brands

stoic island
#

It's 8c16t vs 10c20t

still bay
#

so no?

stoic island
#

but gaming 5800x wins on avg afaik

still bay
#

fr?

stoic island
#

Don't have much time, I'll pull up GN vid

foggy hazel
#

here @still bay

#

plenty of reading material for you :)

stoic island
still bay
#

tyvm

stoic island
#

Yea, Anandtech is great

near iron
#

Oh yeah that’s right

still bay
#

so if i can ill do a 5000 gen ryzen, otherwise 10900k

near iron
#

He has that video up about ram thanks

still bay
#

and its not like i cant upgrade if i do 10900k anyways

#

but im hoping that will last me like 3 years

#

also is it a bad idea to replace the p500a's stock fans with ll120's...

#

like ik money wise no

#

but......

clever sonnet
#

can someone help please

#

i have no signal issue

stoic island
#

@near iron Alright, for you, the suggest for now is still 3600mhz cl16 for Zen 3, but we're waiting for GN to do more testing.

clever sonnet
#

for my gpu

#

just plugged it in

near iron
clever sonnet
#

the power is on

near iron
#

I’ll wait a bit , since I got time no rush .

foggy hazel
#

sidenote: where the heck is the ram video followup from GN and Level1tech ......

stoic island
#

ikr

near iron
#

Dunno

clever sonnet
#

ok thanks

near iron
#

Gn is live right now over clocking a gpu I believe

foggy hazel
#

@clever sonnet you got a list of things to check earlier, then you went quiet

still bay
#

hey guys so just a question, if the pc wont be moved how bad is it if the Harddrive isnt in the cage and instead is just kinda loose-ish in the PSU shroud?

clever sonnet
#

wait what

#

i didnt see

#

i already figured out the fans and everything

ripe wedge
still bay
#

yeah shoot

#

because its either that or he spends 60 ish dollars on cablemod cables

#

or maybe return the case and gets a bigger one

exotic vault
#

Guys witch cpu do you guys recommend

still bay
#

what budget

exotic vault
#

400 though 250$

deep skiff
#

5600x

foggy hazel
#

@still bay consider this: all it takes for a dead HDD is one bump of the case

#

if its a 2.5 ssd that is down there, it does not matter

#

he can kick the case for all that it cares

sudden adder
#

hi

still bay
foggy hazel
#

what is the exact problem @still bay ?

still bay
#

so my cousin wants to get into pc gaming which is cool so im speccing out a build for him then on xmas im going to go over to his house and build it for/with him

foggy hazel
#

yes?

still bay
#

issue is, i just build a VERY Similar build for my other friend (all my parts lists are pretty similar) and i had the issue i just stated

#

same case and psu

#

and he also had a HDD

foggy hazel
#

link me a list please?

still bay
#

i just told my friend literally DO NOT even touch ur case

#

let me try to speedrun make it its not gonna be exact

foggy hazel
#

might just be that you didnt think about it the right/quirky way

#

just case and psu really

#

all i need to know

still bay
#

oj

#

220t airflow

#

and corsair rm series (might be rmx dont think the cables change)

#

i really tried theres not a lot of space between the psu and harddrive cage and the 24ping cable is really not flexible

#

well it is just not at the 2 connection points

foggy hazel
#

looks like there is plenty of space there from what i can see

still bay
#

but then with a full sized psu and also a cable the literally wont bend bc its stiff at the 2 plug points

foggy hazel
still bay
#

wait

#

can u move thge harddrive cage

fast robin
#

Hey I was wondering if the amd stock thermal paste is fine or if I need to buy one

foggy hazel
#

you can take it out

lyric thistle
#

it's fine

still bay
#

ik

foggy hazel
#

@fast robin stock is fine

fast robin
still bay
#

i took it out for my friends build

fast robin
foggy hazel
#

but even with that @still bay i honestly dont see the problem

still bay
#

the cables do not want to bend man

foggy hazel
#

you dont have to bend them

still bay
#

ill try again ig

#

to put them in yes

foggy hazel
#

just use the second plug

still bay
#

?

foggy hazel
#

(btw, i got my picture to post by doing a local screen grab and posting that)

torpid notch
#

Can someone make a $600 list with b550 motherboard he wants to make one for Christmas and upgrade later

#

For friend

still bay
#

gotcha; what is the second plug @foggy hazel

still bay
torpid notch
#

Basically b550 motherboard and every part into it it could be good or bad

still bay
#

so a 600 dollars build that is b550?

torpid notch
#

Yes

still bay
#

why not just wait instead

torpid notch
#

Idk his parents said he has to get a $600 one right now

foggy hazel
still bay
#

prices are fckd rn

foggy hazel
#

that one, do note that amazon thirdparty is marking up the cpu by a LOT @torpid notch

#

@still bay please dont avoid the filter.

still bay
#

sorry

#

@foggy hazel what is this second plug u speak of

drifting garnet
#

Yeah prices are Upvote

torpid notch
#

@foggy hazel I’ll keep checking the list to see if it gets cheaper

#

If it doesn’t in time for christmas my friend just gotta go with a different build

#

His parents want to get him laptop :<

still bay
#

nono

foggy hazel
#

@still bay some sata power cables have a non-right-angled connector at the end of the power cable

still bay
#

no

foggy hazel
#

yes, some do

still bay
#

no that is not what im talking about i understand that

#

the 24 pin is the issue

foggy hazel
#

how?

still bay
#

not enough space

#

its not flexible at all near the connection points

foggy hazel
#

that makes even less sense

still bay
#

how so

foggy hazel
#

how are you trying to route it?

still bay
#

what

foggy hazel
#

i need either pictures or more details

#

preferably both

whole harbor
#

rip amd stock

#

anyone wanna give a speech?

still bay
whole harbor
#

u invested in amd?

still bay
#

i invested like 2 weeks before 5000 gen announcement

whole harbor
#

how much u make so far?

#

Idk how market works

karmic bobcat
#

It’s so hard to get pc stuff

still bay
#

well i dont day trade or anything so i do longer term stocks

whole harbor
still bay
#

mostly just stocks so i havem oney for college or in the future

karmic bobcat
#

When 16XX and 5XXX series GPUs are marked up

still bay
#

but so far maybe a couple hundred dollars?

whole harbor
#

They need to stock their cpus

still bay
#

@foggy hazel i really dont know how to show u as i already built the pc but ill try to explain

whole harbor
still bay
#

so its like
| HDD CAGE (space) PSU SLOT |

whole harbor
still bay
#

okay so i have all the cables plugged into the psu

foggy hazel
#

aye, and you have about 3-4 cm of spare space

still bay
#

i then go and try to push it in the fron the side

#

it literally does not work the cables do not bend enough for it to go in

whole harbor
#

Wait are there dedicated areas for screws in atx cases for matx

#

Or sum like that

still bay
#

MAYBE if i remove the hdd cage, reroute cables, replace it then i would work

whole harbor
#

Ive never actually built a pc

#

or had one

foggy hazel
#

@still bay plug cables BEFORE you put the psu in the case.

#

@whole harbor read manual, you will learn things :)

still bay
#

I KNOW

#

I SAID THAT

foggy hazel
#

no need to yell mate

still bay
#

The cables simply DO NOT bend enough to be able to fit into such a space with the hdd blocking it

foggy hazel
#

what rotation are you using on the psu?

#

fan up or down?

still bay
#

fan down? feel like this wouldnt change it

foggy hazel
#

it does change things, because it moves the 24pin connector from one side to the other

still bay
#

if the fan is up tho then im just pulling hot air from the gpu into the psu

foggy hazel
#

which again brings us to the point where i ask for photos :)

still bay
#

i doont

#

the pc isnt in my house

#

but regardless u think its fine if the fan is facing up?

#

and that would solve the issue

foggy hazel
#

not saying it will solve anything. because your problem does not make logical sense

#

from what i know of that psu

#

and from what i can see in the pictures of that case (because i have not built in that particular one)

#

it should not be a problem

still bay
#

okay

foggy hazel
#

so, without pictures, its hard to tell you IF its your particular psu that is wonky or what the problem is

still bay
#

i really fell like i mis-described it but ill try in person

#

but i have a few ideas

foggy hazel
#

if you can, try and grab some photos, and we can talk about it based on that :)

still bay
#

okay well cya on the 25th lol

foggy hazel
#

you wont have access to your own before then?

still bay
#

what

#

neither of these pcs are mine?

foggy hazel
#

it sounded like the one you built recently was yours

#

hence the question

still bay
#

yes

#

mine for a friend

foggy hazel
#

are you certain its not you being worried that is preventing that cable from bending?

sharp hornet
#

So I really don't need to spend the extra money on a 7200rpm drive? A 5400 one will do?

foggy hazel
#

what drive are you looking at @sharp hornet ?

sharp hornet
#

I just want a drive to keep games installed on. Main is is on an ssd

#

I just want more storage. My old 1tb hdd is beginning to fill up due to photos, music, games, and videos.

#

I mean, I want to build a new pc, but I don't wanna spend $1200 again right now.

foggy hazel
#

what specific model of drive are you looking at?

quasi fern
#

SSD ?

#

Getting a 1TB SSD isn't bad to use

sharp hornet
#

I was comparing a wd black 7200rpm 4tb drive to a 5400rpm model that's half the price, basically

#

You know, I discovered an M.2 slot on my motherboard the other day. Never knew it was there.

foggy hazel
#

its your call on the hdd, IF its for cold storage, rpm does not matter

sharp hornet
#

But given that I can get 4tb hdd for way cheaper than 1tb ssd, I want really considering SSD unless there's some great deal...

foggy hazel
#

if its for active program loading etc ....

#

a 1tb ssd is 100-110usd

sharp hornet
#

I'm keeping games installed on it, so active I guess.

#

I sometimes move games from my hdd to ssd and don't notice much improvement in load times...

#

hey guys do i need a bios update to run an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 on a Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H?

lyric thistle
#

no?

#

pretty sure you don't

foggy hazel
#

you dont

inner mortar
#

ok thanksssss :) imma noob is all

lyric thistle
#

you're goo

inner mortar
#

but updating bios is still good right

lyric thistle
#

d

inner mortar
#

best to have latest?

lyric thistle
#

it's not necessary

inner mortar
#

oh ok

#

thanks!

lyric thistle
#

there are certain circumstances in which you should update the BIOS, but generally you should be fine with the BIOS you have if everything is running okay

still bay
inner mortar
#

yeah dont wanna risk making a rookie mistake

lyric thistle
#

if your computer's power is interrupted while it's updating the BIOS, the board will be bricked

inner mortar
#

sicc

foggy hazel
#

@inner mortar rule of thumb: dont update something that already work

inner mortar
#

if it not broke dont fix it

#

got it haha

lyric thistle
#

I had a BSOD caused by this laptop's wireless card driver :(

#

was last night

#

a lot of those Mini PCIe WiFi cards from ~2011 seem to be prone to doing that from what I read

#

it's an N-1030 Intel card

median basin
#

yeah

little osprey
whole harbor

little osprey
#

🤷‍♂️

noble bone

#

When u have the free cyberpower periphals

#

But some dell optiplex

#

LMFAO

still bay
#

damn i love that slightly smokey smell when i boot up cold war 😍

sinful hornet
#

if only burning electronics smelled like a bonfire

#

i'd just have thermaltake smart psu's all over the house to make it smell good

lyric thistle
#

😳

still bay
#

what does the "smart" mean in the like corsair and thermaltake etc. psu

#

?

lyric thistle
#

it means the decision to buy it was no smart

still bay
#

good thing i got a 550w corsair

#

what would happen if ijust took my gpu out

#

like rn

little osprey
#

idk try it

still bay
#

fr?

#

do u like actually want me to bc i will

lyric thistle
#

lmao

little osprey
#

haha idk what will happen

still bay
#

should i unplug it first or leave that btch plugged in?

little osprey
#

idk lmao

tall wasp
#

and case aswell

still bay
#

why are u getting a 630 dollar motherboard

rigid portal
#

I'm going to ask a dumb question

#

but do you need thermal paste when installing a liquid cooler? lmao

still bay
#

@tall wasp why that motherboard

still bay
#

u will be able to see if it has it already preapplied if not just put a rice sized amount on your processor

rigid portal
#

I don't feel anything on the cooler so I suppose I will apply some

#

Thank you

still bay
#

WHAT

#

send a picture

rigid portal
#

gimme secc

still bay
#

DONT START RUBBING UR COOLER

rigid portal
#

NO I DIDNT

still bay
#

OKAY

#

i thought u meant like u used ur hands to look

rigid portal
still bay
#

pre applied

rigid portal
#

Oh rly

still bay
#

yup

#

see the inner circle thats thermal paste

rigid portal
#

Welp I guess I won’t be using my $16 thermal paste I got :’ )

still bay
#

im guessing this is ur first buiild?

rigid portal
#

Yeahhh

still bay
#

u can absolutely still do that if u wipe it off with rubbing alcohol

#

but if u can maybe return the paste?

tall wasp
#

@still bay future proof

still bay
#

what

rigid portal
#

The paste I bought included a cleaning wipe, shall I use it?

still bay
#

u dnt need a 630 dollar motherboard to future proof

#

show me?

tall wasp
#

plus already have it

still bay
#

waaaaaa

finite sinew
#

He is saying save it in case swapping cooler or cpu or mono

still bay
#

welp sick mobo then lol

finite sinew
#

Mobo

tall wasp
#

its on its way at least

rigid portal
still bay
#

interesting choice on having a mobo worth more than ur cpu and gpu

still bay
#

also do u have a noctua aio??????????????????

#

or noctua thermal paste

rigid portal
#

No, it’s a NZXT Kraken with noctua thermal paste

still bay
#

gotcha lol

#

didnt know thety sold thermal paste like that

#

so im honestly not sure what the best idea is

rigid portal
#

I think I will just use the pre-applied

still bay
#

if u were to swap thermal paste ur looking at a small amount of performance increase; what cpu?

#

yeah

finite sinew
#

Sure that isn’t a thermal pad?

still bay
#

sorry about that ;(

rigid portal
#

It’s the r5 5600x

still bay
#

itll be fine then

rigid portal
#

Okie dokie

rigid portal
still bay
#

it says cleaning wipe

rigid portal
#

oh I thought he meant the cooler picture I sent

#

nvm then

#

I shall install it

#

Thank u @still bay

still bay
#

no problemo

#

what case btw?

#

bc u want to have ur tubes on the bottom i believe

rigid portal
#

h510

finite sinew
#

I prefer the top so they don’t get in the way of anything

still bay
finite sinew
#

Oh thanks for letting me know

still bay
#

u know that will give u cooler a shorter life span

#

OHHHHH

#

NONONONOO thats fine

#

where u have it mounted is fine

finite sinew
#

I know what you meant

still bay
#

i thought u meant mounted at the front yeah

finite sinew
#

I used to have it at the front with tubes up

#

It just looks better

rigid portal
#

Front isn’t okay?

finite sinew
#

It is

still bay
#

its a 240mm right?

#

2 fans?

rigid portal
#

Yeah

still bay
#

put it at the front but have the tubes on the bottom if that makes sense

rigid portal
#

Ohhhh

#

Okay I get it

still bay
#

might feel upside down but iirc that is better for the cooler

#

i believe if the tubing is above the pump it can cause issues

#

or something like that

foggy hazel
#

hollow grail
#

optiplex time

#

lmao

foggy hazel
#

at that budget, you are hitting way too many limits with new parts

hollow grail
#

yeah ur gonna hit a brick wall in terms of bottlenecks

ripe wedge
#

I mean

#

sometimes u can find deals on used market

hollow grail
#

ideally you get a full tower optiplex, a new psu, and a 570/80

ripe wedge
#

^

#

with a i5

hollow grail
#

of course

ripe wedge
#

then add a ssd

hollow grail
#

yep

exotic kiln
#

soo

#

second hand ?

ripe wedge
#

on some parts

#

no second hand PSU

#

unless its included with the pc like an optiplex but you would want to replace it anyways

#

@exotic kiln id check facebook marketplace and offerup in your area

#

see what there is on the market

exotic kiln
#

ok thx

#

lemme search for a bit

ripe wedge
#

exotic kiln

glacial umbra
#

can you turn RGB off on fans?

ripe wedge
#

with software

glacial umbra
#

alright good

ripe wedge
#

maybe in bios

glacial umbra
#

thanks

ripe wedge
#

but if you dont care for rgb on fans get be quiet fans or noctua fans

#

they are really good, especially noctua fans

glacial umbra
#

I'm just buying some cheap fans for now until I can afford more expensive ones

#

and for some reason the cheapest ones have leds

#

so

ripe wedge
#

this one doesnt look too bad

#

this one is slightly newer

#

this bottom one is better deal imo

hollow grail
#

i forgot but may be able to throw a cheap xeon in there too

ripe wedge
#

like the e5 v2 something

#

xeon code names are weird lol

hollow grail
#

iirc just e3

ripe wedge
#

#

king floppa I think

hollow grail
#

glacial umbra
#

I'm really debating between the 3100 and 3600

whole harbor
#

im prob gonna get a 3600 if it goes down to $200

glacial umbra
#

massive price difference rn but

whole harbor
#

3600 worth

ripe wedge
#

3600 should be lower than that

glacial umbra
#

I just want prices to go down :(

ripe wedge
#

#

for a 3600

glacial umbra
#

jeez

ripe wedge
#

#

r20/r23

hollow grail
#

jake

#

it says 9th gen i3 better than threadripper 2950x

whole harbor
#

Cost money

ripe wedge
#

yeah I know but like talking not looking at what the ranking says but what the actual bench for your own computer says

whole harbor
#

Is it worth getting 3600 over 3100

hollow grail
#

yea

ripe wedge
#

3600 would be preferable because more cores and better single core

glacial umbra
#

with the price difference though?

ripe wedge
#

whats the price of a 3100 rn

hollow grail
#

too much

whole harbor
#

$180

ripe wedge

insanely bad

glacial umbra
#

#

ripe wedge
#

glacial umbra
#

yeah prices are weird rn

hollow grail
#

glacial umbra
#

ripe wedge
whole harbor
#

#

🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦯

glacial umbra
#

canada isn't that different from america
