I don’t need them all ASAP

#

I bought the power supply today but people on this discord server say it’s bad

little osprey
#

Don't buy 3600 Currently

#

for 288 you could buy a 3700x

near garden
#

Yeah they overpriced rn

little osprey
#

and why a Ti?

#

super way better

near garden
#

Its the only one in stock rn

little osprey
#

For those prices you could just spend 70$ more and buy 5700 xt

near garden
#

Yeah I was going with the 5700xt but it sold out as soon as I was going to buy it

little osprey
#

Actually nvm

near garden
#

I’m kinda waiting for it rn

little osprey
#

everything is so high right now

#

what the hell

near garden
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

480 for a 5700 xt

#

2 days ago i just buy 2 red devils for 400?

near garden
#

Yeah I saw lol

#

There was a 1660 super for like 600 I think they going crazy over prices

near garden
#

Yeah do you think the evga w1 600w 80 plus is a good power supply or should i go back to best buy and return it for a Corsair cx650m ?

dapper jasper
#

PSU is A tier

little osprey
#

Don't buy corsair CX

#

if you alrteady have a psu

little osprey
near garden
#

Yeah I bought the evga w1 600w 80 plus today

dapper jasper
#

ok where the rx 5700 xt at $399 then

little osprey
#

Just buy used lol

near garden
#

The prices are crazy right now with cpus and they’re always out of stock

little osprey
#

when 3060 ti come out its gonna be pretty low

near garden
#

True

little osprey
#

If mining isn't profitable in couple years im gonna be looking to offload 16 GPUs

dapper jasper
#

yeah true, though i prefer nvidia all day because of the features you miss out on with getting an amd card

#

no ray tracing, no dlss, no nvenc

little osprey
#

DLSS would be in the works

#

Ray tracing was expected

#

Nvidia is always gonna be on top

#

They a complete generation ahead ray tracing wise

#

always will be

#

they have more money too

near garden
#

I think this is better now

bleak brook
#

Soo, I'm a noob trying to use the PC builder with a Ryzen TR 3990x but I can't find that option for the builder
any help?

near garden
#

The gpu is over priced on new egg

dapper jasper
#

ok now a 7 3700x...

near garden
#

Its the same price now

little osprey
dapper jasper
#

what are you gonna be using the pc for

near garden
#

The ryzen 5 3600 and ryzen 7 3700x are the same price on Newegg rn

dapper jasper
#

can get a 10400 instead

near garden
#

I’m trying to stream game and edit maybe

bleak brook
#

does it help me pick compatible parts?

little osprey
#

10400 way better

#

Still in high production and is lower price

fast saffron
#

Hows the ryzen 9 3900x

little osprey
#

I wouldn't buy now

#

just buy a 5800x

#

Doesn't have much stock issues

#

just monitor it on amazon alot

rigid portal
#

Or follow Stockdrop

near garden
#

I bought a usb and downloaded windows on it for my future build I think I’ll wait I little though to see if prices cool down but if I see a good deal I’ll just buy it

bleak brook
#

Ok if I want that TR I picked up and a GPU setup with as many CUDA cores as possible, what to go for?

fast saffron
#

Wish 3080 fe would stock back up

near garden
#

You’re going to be stalking the 3080 fe they sell quick

bleak brook
#

Wew, I have no idea how to pick from these when my hardware skill is 0.

#

if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it 🖐🏼

fast saffron
#

If not instantly

bleak brook
#

Ok, I'll look through the site while you get free

near garden
#

Even microcenter don’t have anything in stock besides old gpus

bleak brook
dapper jasper
#

idk but zotac dropped

#

FE holds more value but it only stocks at BB afaik

bleak brook
#

BB = ?

earnest olive
#

evga card has ugly red clown lips

dapper jasper
bleak brook
#

Ok.. that means?

#

limited reach? or price difrerence?

dapper jasper
#

price/performance

bleak brook
#

higher price for the same performance?

dapper jasper
#

you’re paying less per fps than if you would with other cards

bleak brook
#

ok, price aside, is the performance better?

#

#Noob

dapper jasper
#

nope, there are better AIBs that will give you better performance because they run cooler

#

though, FE should be the lowest priced of the 3080 GPUs

bleak brook
#

Ok, what do you suggest for max gpu performance? [prices aside again]

dapper jasper
#

foof I don’t know

#

lemme check on a chart

#

MSI X Trio or EVGA FTW3

#

not much of a performance boost though

#

like 10+ fps

bleak brook
#

Checking, thanks

#

is 3080 better than 3090?

dapper jasper
#

3090 is better than 3080 but 3090 is ass value

bleak brook
#

the one I posted up is 90

dapper jasper
#

what?

bleak brook
dapper jasper
#

ohhhhhhh I’m sorry

bleak brook
#

Also, The Witcher 3 at 300 FPS
that's gotta be fun.

bleak brook
#

Ok, what should I look for in a case?

#

[not an RGB person, but I like overall cool looks]

dapper jasper
#

uhhh lían li lancool is pretty good

#

mb311l

#

Neo air ATX

bleak brook
#

lemme check

dapper jasper
#

I gtg rn

bleak brook
#

Thank you.

dapper jasper
#

I’m sorry about leaving you here but I gotta do something

bleak brook
#

but if you can help me pick a MB before you go, I appreciate it

bleak brook
dapper jasper
#

what up

#

what cpu*

bleak brook
#

ignore the case

#

it's not just for gaming, I do game dev

#

3D stuff

dapper jasper
#

ooooo I see

#

I was bouta ask why

#

Asus Prime TRX40-Pro

bleak brook
#

Ok lemme check, thanks

#

and any comments on the build?

#

still a noob

dapper jasper
#

The build looks fine but you will need a hefty psu to hold it all up

bleak brook
#

ok, any quick ideas before you go?

coarse cove
obsidian wigeon
#

Seems so, but like, 20 series doesn't seem worth it right now

#

30 series is here, and stocks will hopefully be around more in 2021

sharp tundra

#

Why not a ryzen 5000 series 🤔

timid bronze
#

I just got my new pc parts, i have a strix b550-f gaming with 5600x. Do i need to update the bios or it is already updated

little osprey
#

Well on terms of hardware

little osprey
#

But if your computer works, thats a good sign atleast.

timid bronze
#

@little osprey i didnt put the parts together yet i just need to know if it is updated

little osprey
#

Ok

fleet pagoda
#

Is the website video cardz.com a reliable source of info

jagged ember
#

A b550 comes with support for 5600 out the box

#

I'd be upset if one didn't

stoic island
#

@inner barn again, no way to test it yet because the chips aren't out yet, so it's only foreshadowing z490 doing pcie 4.0 :p

jagged ember
stoic island
#

Videocardz? I feel like that's good

#

Hm

jagged ember
#

Idk the name is untrustworthy

#

But, I could be wrong

stoic island
#

@jagged ember yea I'm pretty sure I've seen a good amount of articles from then before

jagged ember
#

Oh lol I've never heard of them before

#

So I assumed with a name like that it would be shady, but guess I was wrong?

fleet pagoda
#

Im hyped to get my 3060ti

#

Im so build different i think ill be able to order it b4 it goes out of stocm

jagged ember
#

Let's hope so

weak field
obsidian wigeon
#

Videocardz is very credible

#

The leaks are generally true, rumors are clearly marked as rumors

jagged ember
#

I gain more knowledge

obsidian wigeon
#

I relied on em since a few months earlier tbh

#

They're unheard of by many, so they seem shady kekw

little osprey
#

10600K or 2600X for a RTX 2060?

@stoic island u cleared up some confusion but i still need to pick a cooler O-O

elder siren

my PC is weak

little osprey

#

does the nh-d15s need a mounting adapter for a gigabyte x570 gaming x rev 1.1?

wanton cliff
#

amazon questions usually answer that question

#

idk myself

dreamy canopy
#

ok...

#

i mean, it works with socket am4

#

how do I remove warnings on pcpartpicker

wanton cliff
#

what does warning say

hasty gyro
#

Which would have more stable performance:

Ryzen 5 3600 and a 3080, or a 5600x and a 3070

#

For 1440p 144hz

dreamy canopy
#

a bios update

wanton cliff
#

if its something about clearance with tall heat spreaders then thats there all the time

wanton cliff
#

for FPS go with the Zen3 CPU

dreamy canopy
#

will the nh-d15s with a second 140 mm fan work with vengeance ram and vengeance rgm pro ram?

still bay
#

google the clearnce

#

clearance

hasty gyro
#

Ohhhhhhhhh okay I never thought of it that way

dreamy canopy
#

ok

hasty gyro
#

Thank you

dreamy canopy
#

x570 gaming x from gigabyte

#

i can change the order of the ram however

wanton cliff
#

Gigabyte makes large boards, right?

dreamy canopy
#

uh

#

idk

#

it's atx

#

not eATX

#

also which one is height

#

the first, second, or third number

#

because i find it hard to believe that vengeance non rgb is taller than vengeance rgb pro

fleet pagoda
#

Wait i just noticed i bought a matx mobo and i have an atx case is this bad

dreamy canopy
#

no

#

you're all good

fleet pagoda
#

Phew ok

fleet pagoda

Just about as good as 3070

still bay

ewwww manjaro

wanton cliff
#

im sorry?

#

I didnt have a week to spend setting up Arch

hollow grail
#

qemu is the right way to go though

wanton cliff
#

and from what I can tell Manjaro is better for VMs as I use them anyways

hollow grail
#

are you using it for general use or just vms lol

wanton cliff
#

gaming VMs so I can play in windows while Windows/proctoring software from my school/etc etc doesnt know what Im doing

Guys I know this might be a lot but my friend hes extremely new to pc building and looking for one right now and he's got a good budget around 1.3-.1.4k and I need help making him a good build to be quite frank

wanton cliff
#

aight

#

gimme a sec

#

gaming im guessing?

fast smelt
#

Yes not heavy overclock but a decent bit

wanton cliff
#

ethernet or wifi?

fast smelt
#

Ethernet i believe

wanton cliff
#

ok

#

holy sh*t the R5 3600 is $357 on PcPartPicker right now

#

WHY IS THE 3600X $427 RIGHT NOW

#

WHAT THE HELL

@hollow grail

hollow grail

need those fat overclocks

wanton cliff
#

no

Yeah I think there are still insane deals from Monday for some reason

Hi zero!

true lark
#

ooohhh

fast smelt
#

Oh my b

hollow grail
#

@wanton cliff yeah nowadays i try to get ppl on intel cause ryzen price is nuts rn

true lark
#

Does anyone here know if stuff made on their pc builder come prebuilt?

#

the newegg pc builder

stoic island
#

no

true lark
#

they dont?

#

dang

hollow grail
#

no

stoic island
hollow grail
#

do you want it prebuilt?

true lark
#

Kinda because I dont rly trust myself or know how to do this stuff

fast smelt
#

I'm not sure but its usually pretty easy to build just gotta know what part goes where and how to organize wires

hollow grail
#

i like these guys for prebuilts

true lark
#

so do you choose the parts and then they make it?

hollow grail
#

yep!

true lark
#

Okay

#

I'll keep that in midn

hollow grail
#

also tbh

#

its almost better to get prebuilt nowadays

true lark
#

Do you know their average shipping time?

hollow grail
#

u dont pay scalper prices

#

cause system builders get hella stock

wanton cliff
#

crap

#

I accidentally deleted the build I was doing

true lark
#

like how long?

fast smelt
#

Ok I gtg i have school

hollow grail
#

depends, you can expedite it

rich helm
#

If you want specific parts tou could search up on Facebook marketplace for custom pc builders that will just build the pc for you

hollow grail
#

ew

rich helm
#

Or other websites similar

hollow grail
#

why tf would you do that

true lark
#

ehh I dont trust facebook

rich helm
#

Offer up

hollow grail
#

get some rando building your pc

#

vs an actual company

true lark
#

Yeahh...

hollow grail
#

plus paying more for parts

#

thats literally just a bad idea lol

true lark
#

I'd rather a company with multiple people who know what they're doing rather then some random person on facebook

hollow grail
#

i tell people to go to xotic cause their configs make sense

true lark
#

ohh let me copy that link before I forget

hollow grail
#

here

true lark
#

thanks

rich helm
#

Or if you know someone who does it just pay them like 50-75 dollars to do it

#

Like a friend who built his own

true lark
#

I dont know many people who do that

rich helm
#

Or something

hollow grail
#

@rich helm prebuilts are literally better value rn hush

true lark
#

many experienced people

fast smelt
#

I'm back and I know a few locals that could help @true lark

hollow grail
#

if you can beat xotic ill be pretty surprised

true lark
#

What are their prices like?

severe axle
#

or you could go to redux, $75 build fee, no upcharge on parts

true lark
#

uh oh, competition

#

@severe axle u got a link to this 'redux'

severe axle
rich helm
#

Yeah I don’t trust a company that puts a 1660 in a 1500 dollar pc

true lark
#

thx

#

I'll compare the prices to the other one

wanton cliff
#

1660s belongs in an $800 build

true lark
#

Traa is back

wanton cliff
#

yes

#

school

#

I was here for 6 hours yesterday

#

gonna do the same today

true lark
#

woah

#

good luck

wanton cliff
#

I should become a moderator

#

lmao

true lark
#

a new role called 'build master' or somthing

wanton cliff
#

oh im no master

#

ive built a pc or two

#

but im far from a master

true lark
#

a build maker/helper?

stoic island
#

the road to mod is a long one

wanton cliff
#

I know

true lark
#

oh hey, a new color

wanton cliff
#

Im probs closer to a techie like @stoic island than a mod

true lark
#

this chat just gets more colorful as it goes on

stoic island
#

I'm closer to you than I am a mod

wanton cliff
#

exactly

stoic island
#

:(

rich helm
#

What budget were you thinking for a pc @true lark

stoic island
#

I'll get there one day

true lark
#

1300 to 1400

rich helm
#

Cause the redux has pretty good builds you just have to customize a bit

#

Ok

wanton cliff
#

are you advocating for a prebuilt

severe axle
#

they dont want to build it

hollow grail
#

100%

severe axle
#

or at least they don't trust themselves to build it

hollow grail
#

theres some companies that are worth it

#

xotic is one of them imo

wanton cliff
#

I've heard of Redux

#

are they any good?

hollow grail
#

xotic?

true lark
hollow grail
#

personally i love them

rich helm
wanton cliff
#

the RAM doesnt even say speed

#

just dual channel

true lark
#

My experiences with xotic is that its confusing

rich helm
#

You can’t get much better without going over your budget

wanton cliff
#

sure you can

rich helm
#

Next graphics card up is a 3070 which puts you at 1500

wanton cliff
#

easily

rich helm
#

For this website I’m saying

wanton cliff
#

do they not have a 5700XT?

rich helm
#

You could upgrade storage or ram but wouldn’t make too much of a difference

No they don’t

bruh moment

wanton cliff
#

graphics card is one of the easier parts, just buy one and put it in yourself

rich helm
#

The new and cards are out of stock

hollow grail
#

whats confusing abt xotic?

rich helm
#

You would have to buy it with a card that could be resold

wanton cliff
#

ebay

true lark
rich helm
#

And idk if they use they’re own weird card

hollow grail
#

click the pc

wanton cliff
#

just get it without a card, and buy a 5700XT or something like that

hollow grail
#

that u like

#

then click customize and buy

rich helm
#

I don’t think you can get it without it can you?

hollow grail
#

its literally one of the easiest ui for prebuilt system makers

true lark

you're going to have to show me

#

I might just be stupid

and blind

hollow grail

probably

#

what pc were you looking at?

true lark

idk

tbh

hollow grail

find one you like

wanton cliff

Can't believe y'all are actually advocating for prebuilts when they dont even have stock of common GPUs

Alright so, my friend tthat lives about 500 miles away from me just built his pc and it isn't posting. Everything spins, lights turn on but no signal to monitor. He's reseated cpu, gpu, and ram multiple times and inspected for damage. Its a 9900k on a prime z390. I was hoping I could get some more ideas on how to figure out whats wrong

true lark
#

so you're saying is that it cant display?

#

to a moniter?

hollow grail
#

i love xotic i used them for laptops all the time

buoyant flame
hollow grail
#

can vouch for them 100%

buoyant flame
#

Doesn't post when plugged into the gpu or the motherboard. We've confirmed that its not the monitor btw

true lark
#

okay well, Im the last person you'd want to go to for help

stoic island
#

reset cmos

true lark
#

do what ever he said maybe idk ^

stoic island
#

@buoyant flame always reset cmos, preemptively, doesn't matter what is wrong, board might've shipped with some accidental bios edits

#

:D

buoyant flame
#

He's doing that rn

stoic island
#

alright good

true lark

lets hope that works

buoyant flame

im awaiting his reply

Yeah

stoic island

It has a 120mm exhaust

Its black not RGB but hey it works

Guys I am building with a i9 10900k and 3080 what case would fit me hat beast

stoic island
#

@little osprey GN review is out

and the 'close to a AMD 6800' is ehm

#

interesting

little osprey
#

Good right

true lark
#

close as in better or close as in worse?

stoic island
#

@forest marlin any good case, again, TD500 mesh/P400a/P500a/Lancool ii mesh

#

Remember

#

3060ti is a 400$ part

forest marlin
#

Y s

stoic island
#

6800 is like 580$

little osprey
stoic island

so uh

#

yea

it doesn't have a competitor at the price point

beats 2080 super on average

wanton cliff
stoic island

wdym

wanton cliff

feels like those things are welded on

stoic island

dunno, don't use a p400a

wanton cliff

solid advice, but its a great case

Also, how does one become a techie

Hey guys,
Let’s say if all the leaks were true
What would be better
Ryzen 7 5800x with 3080 ti
Or ryzen 9 5900x with 3080
Primarily used for gaming but a bit of editing too

stoic island
#

until you do

#

there is no 3080 ti

#

so uh

#

there's only one valid option

true lark
#

boom roasted

urban light
#

That’s y I said if the rumours are true

wanton cliff
#

Nvidia apparently said one would be available in january

stoic island
#

3080 20gb got yeeted into the dust

#

@urban light lmao there's none to go off of

#

are we supposed to estimate performance off of a part name..?

hollow grail
#

lmao

stoic island
#

like

#

I get it if there's like leaked passmark scores

#

but we have nothing really to go off of

true lark
#

@wanton cliff what happened to the build you were making?

hollow grail
#

gone

#

reduced to atoms

true lark

noooooooo

good combo? R9 290x Ryzen 5 2600

This is weird

This color is...

my color changed

I was a rookie now im a regular

thx

priv?

oh

true lark
#

yeah

#

lol

hollow grail
wanton cliff
#

does that one work

true lark
#

ye

wanton cliff
#

reason I did 3700x is because it was cheaper than a 3600 kekw

hollow grail
#

yeah if you can get a 3070 thats a good list

wanton cliff
#

lili

#

go to pcpartpicker

#

look at the top AMD cpus

#

wth is happening

true lark
#

cyber monday after sale?

#

idk

hollow grail
#

lol idfk

wanton cliff
#

why would it be 75% more expensive than MSRP after sale?

true lark
#

oh

hollow grail
#

amd is pulling a intel

true lark
#

I thought they were on sale

wanton cliff
#

i dont think this is them pulling an intel

#

supply and demand

true lark
#

not on -sale

wanton cliff
#

emphasis on demand

hollow grail
#

i bet intel is loving it tho

wanton cliff
#

probably

raw mist
#

When will the 3000 series restock???

wanton cliff
#

oh crap I forgot to add case fans to that build

hollow grail
#

never lol

buoyant flame
#

@stoic island That took longer than i wanted it to cuz he had trouble getting the gpu out but the cmos is reset and still no post

true lark
#

if they're rasing the price by 75% then the demand is going to slowly drop, (probably idk im not an economist)

wanton cliff
#

yeah but everyone wants a PC right now because of the Coronavirus but at the same time the Coronavirus is the same reason noone can get a PC

#

or parts

#

or anything

#

cant wait for someone new wanting us to build something on PcPartPicker for them

#

its my addiction

midnight jasper
#

you could help me find a good case for my build

wanton cliff
#

budget, Mobo, and Cooler?

midnight jasper
wanton cliff
#

cool

#

budget?

midnight jasper
#

around 3300

#

its fine if it goes to 3400

#

not above 3500

obsidian wigeon
#

h100i is not really worth ngl

wanton cliff
#

I dont see a GPU?

obsidian wigeon
#

unless rgb is what you wanna have

wanton cliff
#

oh nvm

#

im dumb

#

TD500 ig

obsidian wigeon
#

that two 980 pro is overkill

wanton cliff
#

yeah but at 3k, what do you want?

midnight jasper
#

i know

obsidian wigeon
#

idk

wanton cliff
#

980s are fast as hell tho

midnight jasper
#

yup

obsidian wigeon
#

it's slower than like sn850 and sabrent rocket

#

i meant 870

#

but erm, they're only speedy in specific tasks

#

that 7 gigs per sec

wanton cliff
#

bytes?

obsidian wigeon
#

gigabyte ofc

wanton cliff
#

ok

obsidian wigeon
#

it's generally slower than 970 pro

#

cause qlc

wanton cliff
#

p400a digital is good too, right?

midnight jasper
#

do you guys think there is a better cpu cooler

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

#

the case is good

wanton cliff
#

yes

obsidian wigeon
#

well, my recommendation would make you lose rgb on the cooler

#

it's arctic liquid freezer II

midnight jasper
#

im in

obsidian wigeon
#

specifically 240mm one

wanton cliff
#

that ROG watercooler kekw

#

Ryujin I think?

midnight jasper
#

that thing is hella expensive!

wanton cliff
#

yeah I know

#

hence the kekw

#

not worth it at all

obsidian wigeon
#

it's why i recommended the liquid freezer II 240 kek

#

it actually beats h100i, afaik

#

as far as i know

midnight jasper
#

hmm

#

how much?

wanton cliff
#

yeah im pretty sure liquid freezer II beats H100i

midnight jasper
#

it does look pretty nice tho

#

ima take it

wanton cliff
#

aight

#

cool

idle compass
#

and do i need any bios updates?

midnight jasper
#

its mid range

#

you will need a bios update

idle compass
#

i do? doesnt b550 support ryzen 5000 out of the box?

midnight jasper
#

and if your mobo doesnt have flash bios you may need a second cpu to install the latest bios for 5000 series chips

#

they should but it is not main stream yet

#

i think

idle compass
#

ok

forest marlin
#

I9 10900k with 3080 32 gigs of 3600 ram and a 970 evo with the Lian li o11 dynamic

#

Beacuse I don’t want to bios flash

#

The ram is 16 cl

midnight jasper
#

why intel

kindred iris
#

how's seasonic to corsair for psus?

vital warren
#

depends on model

dapper jasper
#

model>brand but usually Corsair holds awful value

kindred iris
#

alright

#

big oof

midnight jasper
#

corsair suck?

dapper jasper
#

try in PCPP?

#

yeah pretty bad value

midnight jasper
#

ok

#

seasonic or EVGA?

vital warren
#

model over brand

#

corsair is still fine

wanton cliff
#

Seasonic overbuilds

#

I like them

little osprey
#

Seasonic makes a lot of the PSUs other companies relabel

#

Seasonic is the superior product 9/10 times IMO

dapper jasper
#

rosewill capstone ftw

wanton cliff
#

premium price tho

little osprey
#

Not by much

#

Rather spend an extra $30 on my PSU and avoid frying my other parts or having to unplug everything and redo cause I wanted to save the amount of money I spend on lunch

#

But thats just me

dapper jasper
#

yeah fr

#

over a thousand buckoos of stuff fried when you could’ve spent more to be safe

little osprey
#

Yep

wanton cliff
#

fair enough

#

the PSU is the one thing you do not cheap out on

little osprey
#

My buddy has a 2070 super, I7 9700k build and got an unrated PSU

#

Don't even recall the name of the PSU but i'm just waiting for the day he calls me and tells me something broke so I can say "told you so"

obsidian wigeon
wanton cliff
#

make him pay you for advice

little osprey

Lol fr

#

When he goes to buy new stuff for his fried parts ill be like "yeah man I'm gonna need a 3090 for my advice"

#

I barely know things about PCs and I would like to get one for christmas but i dont know where to get the help what components that works with eachother and so on whats whort the price and whats good

whats ur question, soldier

even still I wouldn't buy that list when it was relevant

wanton cliff
#

what, the list I gave?

#

why?

little leaf
#

yes

magic rivet
#

what do u think. Should I hurry just to get a PC rn bcs I want one or should I wait for the next gen to come out? and if so how long do I need to wait?

dreamy canopy
#

the d15s can have a 120 mm fan, yeah?

little leaf
#

no

#

They are already out

#

there is just stock issues

wanton cliff
little leaf
#

@wanton cliff could easily get a 2070s

#

wouldn't get a b450

#

cooler not needed

wanton cliff
#

B450 was the cheapest good board I could find

#

within reason

little leaf
#

p300 isn't great

#

since the p300a is there

wanton cliff
#

I have a p300, works just fine

little leaf
#

you can get a cheaper psu

wanton cliff
#

P300a is $30 more

#

prefer 80+ gold

little leaf
#

lol its still gold

wanton cliff
#

and a 2070s is being price gouged same as everything else

little leaf
#

also

#

use sweden pcpp

stoic island

@magic rivet Fun as in a nice place to be

#

The lack of 'excitement' is what seems nice

#

don't have all the controversy

dreamy canopy
#

so

dreamy canopy
#

i guess that my ram won't work with the d15s if i add a second fan

#

inless i put it on the other side but i doubt that'll work

What cpu do you need a d15 on

dreamy canopy

was it 1111 or ye

#

im pretty sure it was ye

dreamy canopy

i was the one asking

#

though i DID say i didn't want to use the 212

cuz the mounting is terrible

wanton cliff

Mounting is fine on the 212

#

Black edition at least

dreamy canopy
#

not really

wanton cliff

idk about EVO

AMD is better than Intel right?

dreamy canopy
#

yes.

#

it is now

little osprey
#

I mean uh...if you going for 5000x chips
Though K series chips from intel is nice but they come in a premium price.

wanton cliff
#

feel like that'll change when Intel comes out with something smaller than 14nm

grim pagoda
#

Hey I’m building my pc and need some help what does Intel A and Intel B mean on the cooler manual instructions for installation?

little osprey
dreamy canopy
#

the issue with mounting the 212 is that i have to angle my screwdriver, and that makes it SO much harder to get the screw into place

#

for a specific screw

magic rivet
#

idk if this is good at all

#

please give some feedback

dreamy canopy
#

is it a prebuilt

magic rivet
#

no

dreamy canopy
#

what website is that

magic rivet
#

multitronic

#

its a place that builds PCs

dreamy canopy
#

you'll probably want a hard drive

magic rivet

isnt ssd better?

dreamy canopy

for extra storage

#

500 gigs probably won't be enough if you plan on gaming

magic rivet

oh so I can have ssd and hdd in my PC?

dreamy canopy
#

yes.

magic rivet

okay well then i learned smth new

Oh wait

also a better ssd

hi there! anyone can help me pick a PCIe expansion card for a Mac Pro?

#

I need to add USB 3 and USB-C ports and I don't want to screw it up

stoic island
#

@dreamy canopy Point of the NH-D15s, and the reason I recommended it, was because of the single fan config not blocking ram lel. I was trying to get you to get the NH-U12a but that went out of stock.

#

Single fan performs surprisingly well, despite 'half the fans'

#

Performances comes close from the NH-D15s to NH-D15

So there’s a option of getting a used cpu is that good because most cpus are overpriced rn

long story short they didnt have the ram i wanted (2x32), and i told them to replace it with those (2x16) and they added two of those for a total of 64gb, that i had in my initial order

so I said why not
