So is the i5 10400 better than ryzen 2600?

stoic island
#

Yes

reef lynx
#

Huh

#

Thoughts on this btw

stoic island
#

the hell is that ssd

reef lynx
#

boot drive lol

hardy cairn
#

@hollow grail Thanks for the help! sorry I had to run off for a moment.

stoic island
#

and that 2060 is overpriced as hell

hollow grail
#

its no problem!

#

lol that ssd

vital warren
#

might aswell get a 3060ti

hollow grail
#

and 1111 to be fair its the ko

stoic island
#

@hollow grail 360$

hollow grail
#

not that its worth it at all with 3060ti

#

but it is the best 2060 for workstation use lol

vital warren
#

but for 360 no

#

ew

reef lynx
stoic island
hollow grail
#

its not worth at all lol

stoic island
#

@hollow grail meh, just some, but it's the exact same in gaming

#

and we're only worried about gaming here

hollow grail
#

lmao ironic that it was caught in LOWES ad list

idle compass
#

guys what build should I get my budget is 750 usd

viscid violet
#

Random question.. Has anyone done a themed PC case for a sports team? Looking for some ideas for mine. I've gone quite a way through #build-pics, but haven't seen any.

reef lynx
#

Which would be better to buy?

#

2 is @modern pagoda ‘s btw

vital warren
#

can't you get an i7 9700k at microcenter for 200?

stoic island
glacial umbra
#

patriot burst 240gb ssd any good?

stoic island
#

@reef lynx one of them is 40$ more

#

so do you have 40$ more budget for the first list?

#

because if you do, that'll actually get you a decent ssd

hollow grail
#

@glacial umbra i think its dramless lemme check though

#

any drive is alright for the right price tho owo

glacial umbra
#

I'm pretty sure it was dram

modern pagoda
#

he has a 960 budget @stoic island

stoic island
#

thought it was the 800-900$ guy

#

guess that was a different guy

idle compass
hollow grail
#

32mb dram

glacial umbra
#

ah

stoic island
#

as long as you don't stream it's p good

glacial umbra
#

so basically dramless

stoic island
hollow grail
#

just enough to say "'we have dram" lmao

glacial umbra
#

yeah lol

idle compass
#

yea im just going to game

#

and do schoolwork

hollow grail
#

for dirt cheap ssds i just use the inland drives

stoic island
#

yea

#

it's p good

reef lynx
stoic island
#

what

hollow grail
#

theyre garbage dramless but they work and honestly dont perform the worst out there

stoic island
#

excuse me?

#

@reef lynx that's a 500gb ssd and a 2tb hdd

reef lynx
#

i replied to a different message on accident

stoic island
#

wdym only 500gb

reef lynx
#

wait lemme see my eyes are dumb

stoic island
modern pagoda
#

his is better for storage

#

mine is better for overclocking

stoic island
#

but also half the thread count sooo

reef lynx
#

Wait it only has 500GB

vital warren
#

9600k ain't worth it at 200

stoic island
#

@reef lynx you're looking at the wrong list then

#

because I never put vulcan z as memory

modern pagoda
#

thats mine

stoic island
#

if the ram is vulcan z, it ain't my list.

reef lynx
#

Wait thats weird

modern pagoda
#

oh crap its not ryzen you can go for lower memory speed

stoic island
#

but yea 9600k is 6c6t when 10400 is 6c12t :P

reef lynx
#

I put a list with 2 storage things, a HDD and SSD and only the SSD is showing up

little osprey
#

Should I get a semi modular PSU?

stoic island
#

@modern pagoda doesn't really matter, it doesn't get much cheaper

#

and remember mem tuning

vital warren
modern pagoda
#

thats true

vital warren
#

trying to have saved build between 9-1k

stoic island
#

2666c14 tuned from 3200c16 is gonna work better than some 2666c19 kit you buy

#

good

hollow grail
#

isnt the p2 hmb?

stoic island
#

yea, but hmb is good nuff

#

too lazy

hollow grail
#

yeah its alright for sure

#

lol

stoic island
#

don't make me look to see if the drives have dram

#

taks too much time

hollow grail
#

true

#

bad dramless nvme will still be faster than mediocre sata anyways

#

at least on a straight shot

idle hawk
#

wassup ppl

#

ok good chat lol

sacred knot
raw mist
#

bios flashback im guessing look up the case or sum

little osprey
#

reset button

#

idle hawk
#

if your computer freezes thats the reset button

little osprey
#

bios would be on motherboard

whole harbor

idle hawk

golden wave

idle hawk
#

golden wave
#

My dark rock tf fits in my case but the fans gonna be like almost up against the glass

idle hawk
#

the what

severe axle
#

what about your ram clearance?

golden wave
#

I got pletty of ram clearance

ripe wedge
acoustic hull
severe axle
#

what

fleet pagoda
#

Do i push in to install ram until it snaps in

ripe wedge
#

it should pop into place

#

so you should push on two sides of it the top and bottom evenly

#

but make sure its lined up properly

fleet pagoda
#

It is but it comes right out

#

If i lift

ripe wedge
#

you match the notch on the bottom of the ram and the motherboard

#

it should be clamped down by 2 little tabs'

#

top and bottom

#

sometimes not bottom

fleet pagoda
#

Only 1 tab lifts

ripe wedge
#

ah so u only have 1 tab?

fleet pagoda
#

Theres 2

ripe wedge
#

easier to show than to explain

#

I have it to the point where it starts

#

that video is good enough

hollow grail
#

some have 1 tab that opens

fleet pagoda
#

I got it

#

On the mobo one of the m.2 screws isnt unscrewing

hollow grail
#

make it

vagrant olive
#

if any of you can, can you take a look at this and tell me if there's anything i could get thats just as good if not better for a similar price? dont include a graphics card in it because i already have the one i want, and im trying not to go over 900

fleet pagoda
#

It wont

#

It wont turn

#

I cant unscrew it

#

What should i do i dont have the right screw driver what should i do w the mobo

vagrant olive
#

what kind of screw is it...

fleet pagoda
#

Its very small

vagrant olive
#

do u have any tiny phillips screwdrivers?

#

if you dont, and you have a tiny flat head, that could also do the trick but you'd have to be more careful

#

send an image too if u can

fleet pagoda
#

No i dont

#

What should i do w my mobo until i can get it

#

I have the cpu and ram installed alr

stoic island
#

Swiss army knife

vagrant olive
#

zip ties

#

tweezers

#

allen wrench

fleet pagoda
#

Idk

severe axle
#

the verge pc build used a swiss army knife

stoic island
#

I built my PC with a Swiss army knife, it works just fine.

#

And it did have a head with the right size for the m.2 screw.

vagrant olive
#

dude i got so lucky that my swiss army knife had a phillips screwdriver

#

if it didnt

#

i wouldve been toast

stoic island
#

Tbh swiss army knife works just fine for pc building, just not optimal

vagrant olive
#

yea

#

its just so

#

odd

#

"swiss army knife that HOPEFULLY has a phillips screwdriver"

fleet pagoda
#

I dont have a swiss army knife

vagrant olive
#

dont use one

#

were just joking

#

so is it just a rly tiny phillips screw?

fleet pagoda
#

Idk what to do w the mobo idk where yo put it now

#

I wanna continue tmr

#

Since i dont have the right stuff

#

Cpu and ram is installed

vagrant olive
#

idk the layout of ur mobo and how big ur cpu cooler is gonna be but

#

if its not an extremely cramped build

fleet pagoda
vagrant olive
#

is that micro atx

fleet pagoda
#

Ye

stoic island
#

Just leave it

vagrant olive
#

yea

#

if you have enough space before putting hte gpu in

fleet pagoda
#

Its on my dinner table

stoic island
#

You can just get it unscrewed when you get a good enough screwdriver

fleet pagoda
#

Ok

gleaming quartz
#

where is your cpu cooler?

fleet pagoda
#

So i can just put it in my room and leave it?

little osprey
#

On the cpu

stoic island
#

Yea

fleet pagoda
#

Its not installed yet

stoic island
#

Why not

#

You can leave it

fleet pagoda
#

Ok

little osprey
#

Its recommended you run your cpu without a cooler for at least 10 minutes with cinebench running

vagrant olive
#

mfw

#

yeah @fleet pagoda if theres like a home depot or a place that sells tools near you see if you can go get a screwdriver kit that would have tinier phillips heads

fleet pagoda
#

Alr

ornate solstice
#

Anyone know of a good 144hz 1ms ips monitor that’s not to expensive

hazy rune
#

Everyone recommends g27q

#

Haven’t used it, can’t tell you if it’s good

stoic island
#

For 1440p that is

fleet pagoda
#

Im so nervous

stoic island
#

@ornate solstice for 1440p, Gigabyte G27q and M27q, for 1080p, try MSI G241, usually ~170$, but runs out of stock fairly often

fleet pagoda
#

I feel like i broke my mobo or cpu

hazy rune
#

Did you?

fleet pagoda
#

No

ornate solstice
vagrant olive
#

@fleet pagoda from what it looks like

#

everytrhing is fine

#

i mean all ur tryna do is open the m.2 cover right

fleet pagoda
#

Yeah but im really paranoid its my first build

vagrant olive
#

the screws on it look fine

#

dw

fleet pagoda
#

The bottom one wont unscrew

vagrant olive
#

but the top one will?

fleet pagoda
#

Yeah

vagrant olive
#

what mobo is it

fleet pagoda
#

B550m pro4 matx

vagrant olive
#

like the bottom one just

#

doesnt move when you try to unscrew it?

fleet pagoda
#

Yeah it doesnt budge

vagrant olive
#

are you able to like kinda move the cover out of the way with just one off?

#

or does it stay put

tiny forge
#

Who pinged me

fleet pagoda
#

I didnt take one off all the way

#

I screwed it back on bc i got scared

vagrant olive
#

oh

#

try doing it all the way

#

just to see

#

you can always screw it back on

fleet pagoda
#

Im just gonna leave things until tmr

still bay
#

did u wash ur motherboard first or no

tiny forge
#

@robust zodiac So your CPU fits in it's socket right?

#

So your cable isn't fitting into the power supply?

#

Or did I misunderstand

stoic island
#

yes

#

did you poor water on it

tiny forge
#

Wait

stoic island
#

yes pin to pin

tiny forge
#

Aight so you're just messing with me

#

so

#

You took all of the pins off of your CPU

obsidian wigeon
#

bruh

#

the cpu is toast

#

glue won't fix

tiny forge
#

Aight you gotta buy a new CPU

#

Because you ripped the pins off

obsidian wigeon
#

sounds like troll to me lol

tiny forge
#

Yeah I know he's troll lol

vagrant olive
#

he got banned

#

lol

tiny forge
#

lol

still bay
#

💩

tiny forge
obsidian wigeon
#

gone in seconds

vagrant olive
#

wait this isnt the graphics card channel

tiny forge
#

Man and no one even said anything

obsidian wigeon
#

staff do be quick

tiny forge
#

Yes

stoic island
#

@tiny forge I was just having fun with em lel

#

they sent some, well, not so legal messages in #peripherals-and-displays and it was only a matter of time before they get banned

tiny forge
#

Yeah I sorta got that I just wanted to see how far it went

#

Oh lol

deep skiff
#

can we ban this nerd mr1111 who is he

stoic island
#

OH GAWD NO

#

HIDE

opal stratus
#

An SF750 would be good for 6800xt and ryzen 3600 right?

obsidian wigeon
#

should be

opal stratus
#

What’s the normal price for one?

#

Rn it’s like $185 🤢

deep skiff
#

750 is usually pretty high like 150-160, id try to see if you can get a 650

obsidian wigeon
#

^

vagrant olive
#

you can get a 850w from corsair for 130

deep skiff
#

or if you really want 750w i think silverstone has a slightly cheaper sfx option

vagrant olive
#

80+ gold

deep skiff
#

not a sfx one

obsidian wigeon
#

i dont think paying for that much psu is needed lel

vagrant olive
#

yeah

#

its overkill but

obsidian wigeon
#

6800xt isn't that hungry

stoic island
#

the SGX can sometimes be a good price

deep skiff
#

sgx is sfx-l tho make sure it would fit

vivid thorn
#

hey guys i got a question

What’s a good aio to use ?

little osprey
#

A 280 millimeter radiator with an asetec pump and is from a trusted manufacturer such as corsair or nzxt

balmy patio
#

an arctic aio or from ek is what i generally recommend

#

radiator size has to be at least 240mm

ek if you want rgb and arctic because yes

austere ibex
#

hey, im thinking about building a new Gaming PC from scratch, any tips or brand suggestions?

stoic island
#

Start off by watching LTT

#

GN gives more detailed info

austere ibex
#

cool

#

Thanks!

bright kelp
#

could somebody help me with a ~800 usd build?

tiny forge
#

Amd or intel

bright kelp
#

amd

next ridge
#

Is for gaming or work?

bright kelp
#

a bit of both

tiny forge
#

I heard Linus tech tips as a pretty good $500 amd build on his channel

#

You could add a bit extra on if you’re trying to get the most out of your budget

#

(Don’t take my word seriously, I’m not really the most educated when it comes to PCs)

next ridge
#

Ryzen 7 2700x Rx5600xt b450 asrock steel legend 16gb ram ddr4 and power supply 600w and 970 Samsung ssd m.2 500gb

tiny forge
#

Welp there ya go

bright kelp
#

ok thank you I'll look into that one real quick

severe axle
#

are you doing video editing/photoshop? @next ridge

next ridge
#

I think this is for gaming and work

bright kelp
#

yeah like video editing and a bit of gaming

severe axle
#

wait wrong person

#

but get an nvidia gpu

next ridge
#

Rtx 2060

severe axle
#

because those cuda cores are useful

next ridge
#

Yeah u right

#

😂😂

tiny forge
#

I got my 2060S for like 300

next ridge
near garden
#

You guys think the 1660 still good or should I spend more on a rx5600xt ?

tiny forge
#

Ehh hard to say.. I think Best Buy, could’ve been newegg even. Unfortunately I cannot remember

next ridge
#

If u use for gaming I think is better the rx 5600xt

opal stratus
#

I’d recommend getting more than 500gb

tiny forge

next ridge
whole harbor
#

@near garden i got my 1660 super for $230

#

If u want to get it when its in stock

#

#

What you guys think

bright kelp
#

why is the ryzen 7 2700x cheaper than a ryzen 7 2700

near garden
#

I’m going to use a ASUS Prime X570-P for mobo

severe axle
#

mobo will not fit in that case

next ridge
near garden
#

Yeah my bad

next kestrel
#

neither does the ryzen 7 2700

#

dont spread misinformation

#

its because of bad pricing

near garden
#

For case then I’ll use a LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 X

vital warren
#

bad ssd

#

dramless

near garden
#

Yeah most things are overpriced right now

severe axle
#

also, cruicial 16gb 3600 cl16 is going for $75

vital warren
#

and that^^

final silo
#

What’s good

#

Wanna rate me pc?

bright kelp
#

isnt the 3600 normally around 200 not 300

balmy patio
#

yeah

bright kelp
#

why is it so high right now

near garden
#

219 sold by Newegg

vital warren
balmy patio
#

thx dwella you are savior

near garden
bright kelp
#

oh ok

near garden
#

Yeah it’s better to get a ryzen 7 at that point it’s dumb that a ryzen 5 is at 300

bright kelp
#

alright thanks I think I will try and get a 3700x then

vital warren
#

just wait for it to go to 200

#

i got one for 200 last week its p easy

near garden
#

Yeah but if your down to wait till prices cool down

bright kelp
#

well, how much better is a ryzen 7 over a ryzen 5

vital warren
#

if you're talking about r5 3600 + r7 3700x in gaming perf not much of a difference

#

if you plan on spending 300 just try to get a 5600x

bright kelp
#

ok... thanks

fair carbon
#

If paired with a 3060ti should I get a 5 3600 or 7 3700x?

vital warren
#

whatever fits budget better

#

i'd just get a 3600 if ur gaming

fair carbon
#

They cost around the same so I don’t really care

vital warren
#

might as well get 3700x then

#

or 5600x if possible

fair carbon
#

Ok I’ll check the prices for the 5600x then thanks

vital warren
#

it's probably going to be out of stock, but it's 300 usd

bright kelp
#

what would be a good build to surround a 5600x?

snow stream
#

what do you guys think about Rocket lake, yay or wait to alderlake

fair carbon
#

Wait I’m really confused. Right now the 3700x costs around 35dollars us than the 5600x

little osprey
#

i just built a pc today with a b450 tomahawk max 3700x and a 3070 and my headphones aren’t being detected by the pc. how can i fix it

balmy patio
#

have you tried changing the audio output to your headphones?

little osprey
#

yeah

#

the pc doesn’t detect my headset at all

snow stream
#

So you hooked up the audio headers right?

#

Well assuming you are using the front panel

jovial sage
#

is it bluetooth?

#

so many questions! lol

balmy patio
#

lemme see if i can find sum on reddit

jovial sage
#

what headset is it?

balmy patio
#

you could update your audio drivers

#

see if that helps

karmic pine
#

so my 1080 burned a little, has 2 parts of that started to melt, about the size of a thumb, and those parts of the curcuit board are a little brown, still works though im afraid it might do it again, question is, should i get like a 2080 or something right now or should i wait and try to get a 3080 or 6800?

little osprey
#

it’s the hyperx clout alphas. yes i’m using front panel connected and i did attach them right

#

it’s not bluetooth

raven swift
#

I have a question with the corsair 280mm capellix

next kestrel
#

@karmic pine def try to get a 3080 or a 6800

karmic pine
#

alright ill try to hold out, 6800 uses less power than 3080 right? my power supply is 750W

next kestrel
#

it will draw around the same, but the 3080 sometimes has power spikes where it draws a LOT of power

#

both should be fine for a decent 750w psu tho

karmic pine
#

mine is a corsair rm750x, is that decent enough?

next kestrel
#

thats one of the best psus yes

#

good for most gpus

raven swift
#

I got me a rm750x for a rtx 3070 should be more then enough

#

I wanted to get rm850x but it went to backorder just for future upgrades but 750 should do the job too

karmic pine
#

great, now gotta wait for a 3080 or 6800 to come in stock

raven swift
#

I have a question with the corsair 280mm capellix

#

so I plugged in both wires correctly & the rgb isnt turning on automatically I havnt used IQUE yet does it usually automatically turn on rgb or do i gotta manually turn it on with IQUE?

snow stream
#

Since the 3080's been sold out constantly i just keep saving up, thinking 3080 TI assuming stocks are ample by the time its released.

#

I don't ususally go big but the 3080 seems like a good place to do so

I haven't gone AMD since the K6(yeah that long) but the 5950 seems pretty good, again I just wish there was stock anywhere

I assume all the manufacturing is whacked because of covid

I slept outside of best buy

#

to get it

#

It’s ok tho I’m homeless anyway

jk

snow stream
#

has anyone heard when supply of everything should be normal again?

lime wind
#

Next year probably around summer or September

snow stream
#

no not covid, the stock supplies

lime wind
#

Yeah that’s why

#

Haven’t you heard yet nvidia and AMD are saying that stock will most likely have trouble keeping up till next year

shadow bough
#

Say I got a question about a motherboard selection

snow stream
#

Yeah i hoped it was more like jan or feb

lime wind
#

Sure what’s the question

shadow bough
#

Which would you recommend for upgrading to a ryzen 5000 whenever they come in stock? Figured I'd slowly get parts piece by piece

lime wind
#

A x570 motherboard best future proof motherboard

shadow bough
#

Cool, thanks!

lime wind

Yeah no problem

what gpu and mb should I pair with Ryzen 3700x have about 400-500 budget for gpu and 100-175 for mb

hexed dew
#

3060Ti-3070 if you can yonk one, asus B550 or x570 for motherboard

#

tuf mb

#

@west storm

#

Trackers and alerts mate

#

get lucky 🙂

little leaf
#

patience

#

there is no luck

#

what country?

hexed dew
#

wdym?

knotty smelt
#

man I wish it was that cheap

little leaf
#

ya well maybe because 1 dollar equals 4 romanians leus

hexed dew
#

I mean if you have friends in another country one of them could buy it and ship it to you

#

but it is still sold out

clever eagle
#

oh

little leaf
#

I hope you realize how much the romanian leu is worth

hexed dew
#

Sorry abt that mate but the 3070 is still 2000 romanian leu here

little leaf
#

lol

#

wtf

#

you just said a 3070 is 1200 leu

#

How old are you?

hexed dew
#

oof

little leaf
#

lol what

hexed dew
#

you gotta have someone ship it to you mate

little leaf
#

ok first

#

thats not true

#

thats definately a scalper

#

since I go on their website and the 3080 and 3070 is proportionate

#

which one?

hexed dew
#

Confused... gl vip dude

little leaf
#

Scalpers can post on newegg

#

amazon

#

and more

#

I'm fairly sure its a scalper

#

Scalpers can post on offical websites

#

I can't be sure since this is a romanian website, but I doubt a regular retailer will be scaming

#

For example

#

on newegg scalpers can post items

#

whats the site?

vagrant olive
#

im using pcpartpicker and im going with a 5600x and a
MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard but i get this

Warning!Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
what does that mean?

little leaf
#

nvm lol I guess they are just scalping

vagrant olive
#

will they not work together?

little leaf
#

and posting at about 1.1 hundred dollars

#

I'm not saying that

#

I'm just saying they are posting way above msrp

plush arch
#

Do you guys think I should go for a ryzen 7 2700x 1660 ti or 2060/2060 super

little leaf
#

@vagrant olive they most likely will

#

@plush arch no

vagrant olive
#

needa bios update?

little leaf
#

probably not

vagrant olive
#

wdym by

plush arch
#

@little leaf ?

vagrant olive
#

they most likely will

little leaf
#

There is a small chance it won't but it will probably work

#

if they are both new

vagrant olive
#

kk

little leaf
#

@vagrant olive they are all out dated

vagrant olive
#

im going for a more budget build

little leaf
#

sorry not you

vagrant olive
#

oh

little leaf
#

your build is fine

#

a 5600x and b550 is solid

#

@plush arch they are all outdated

#

wait

unreal kindle
#

whats a good prebuilt for 1100

royal sorrel
#

What would be better for a budget build?? i5 10400 or an i5 9600k

obsidian wigeon

how bout r5 3600?

plush arch
#

alr ty

little osprey
jagged ember
#

But prices are stupid and 3600 pricing is blown way out of proportion

#

10400 seemed a better deal if memory serves me right

astral swift
#

yeah even tho

#

intel cpus are becoming better value

#

their mobos are still pretty expensive

les go get a 3060ti boys

tender fjord
#

does the Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case have in built fans

#

and are the fans inside it with a hyper 212 evo enough to cool a 3060 ti and a ryzen 5 5600x

#

is there a better fan than the hyper 212 evo for the 3060 ti and ryzen 5 5600x

celest palm
#

Is amd optimized for streaming as nvidia?i mean should you chose nvidia just for streaming features is has?

little osprey
#

I don't think so.

#

Also nvidia has other feature like DLSS

celest palm
#

Cause i was deciding between 6800 and 3070 but for ray tracing and features like nvidia features(better encoder background noise cancelation etc.) I was not sure which one to buy with 6800 having better performance in game

obsidian wigeon
#

AMD loses to Nvidia all day in streaming. lel

spare crown
#

^why I chose nvidia

little osprey
#

@obsidian wigeon drivers

obsidian wigeon
#

ik

#

But that's subjective, AMD has good linux drivers

3060ti beats 2060s

dull ferry
#

yeah it beats a 2080s

#

why would it not beat a 2060s

celest palm
#

Idk about that

dull ferry
#

you can look at reviews

#

it does

gleaming quartz
#

or benchmarks online

grim raptor
#

should i cancel the order ?

celest palm
#

Yeah

vital warren
#

it's not better than 2080ti

#

for gaming

dull ferry
#

yeah 2080s

celest palm
#

But you cant get 3060ti any soon

grim raptor
#

btw i dont play game

#

s

vital warren
#

it like trades blows w a 2080s

dull ferry

If you can find it anywhere lol

stoic island

robust cipher
#

Dont know if people do this but if you can i'd appreciate som help with a pcpartpickerlist, thinking of a 3070 and a 5 3600x

#

(with a budget of around $1500)

gleaming quartz
#

just gpu and cpu or other parts as well?

little osprey
#

is rtx 3070 worth it

#

if you have the money to get it

near garden
#

Asrock b550 phantom gaming4 or Asrock b550m pro4 ?

gleaming quartz
little osprey
#

hm

gleaming quartz
#

if you have more of a budget i would say maybe get the 3080 instead since it has +2gb of vram

vital warren
#

you can do 3080 + 5600x for 1500

little osprey
#

my max is 1200

vital warren
#

so 3070 + r5 3600

#

or 5600x

gleaming quartz
little osprey
#

3060 ti or rtx 3070

vital warren
#

1200 means 3070 easily

stoic island
#

@robust cipher you can do 5600x+3080 at 1500$

robust cipher
#

oh damn

#

Thanks alot

stoic island
#

Just an example list

#

make your own changes to your own needs

robust cipher
#

yeah im gonna stick in some rgb ram

stoic island
#

@robust cipher keep in mind the speed and cas latency

#

if it's 3600mhz cl16

#

it's your money to spend

#

if it's not, you're wasting money for less performance

#

:P

robust cipher
#

yeah ofc

#

i know the basics

stoic island
#

I suggest against Corsair vegeance rgb

#

but everything else

#

like G.skill trident z neo/rgb/royal

#

or Crucial ballistix rgb

#

are great

little osprey
#

why not corsair vengeance rgb

violet harness
#

I LOVE CORSAIR vengeance RGB PRO ram

#

Best rgb ram

#

can't change my mimd

stoic island
#

vegeance rgb wide

#

blocks top rad and can block other stuff

#

I love trident z neo/rgb/royal

#

can't change my mind

violet harness
#

Ewww royal though

#

😶

stoic island
#

Royal is the best

#

can't change my mind

#

3070 build ?

light fable
#

you wont really need $100 for windows

#

you can get like a $20 key

#

besides that it seems fine the only issue would be getting a 3070 lmao

#

and i would also reccomend using that extra ~80 for a better cpu

#

or psu

vital warren
#

windows is free and you can activate it for cheap

#

can probably fit a 5600x and a lil better psu

near garden
#

Yeah was about to say my friend keeps saying to buy it off Best Buy

little osprey
#

3600 is 199$ on best buy right now

near garden
#

Sold out at my local Best Buy

#

Evga Rtx 2060 or sapphire rx5600xt ?

light fable
#

try to get a 3060ti

jagged ember
#

good luck with that, honestly

#

if you can though, snag one

obsidian wigeon
#

^

jagged ember
#

if left with the option between the two, the 2060 offers RTX, NVENC encoder for streaming along with the suite of rtx voice and stuff

#

RX5600XT gives only pure performance

#

choose depending on what you want, and the price of each

little osprey
#

Also 5600 xt with free game i believe

#

Thats a plus.

jagged ember
#

oh, cool

inner mortar
#

hey would you recommend a gigabyte graphics card or msi?

jagged ember
inner mortar
#

same model

obsidian wigeon
#

not model of the gpu itself lmao

#

the brand's

ripe wedge
#

gigabyte seems to have better coolers usually but some of msis are good but their ventus line of coolers arnt great

jagged ember
#

yeah, just don't get ventus past what, a 1660?

ripe wedge
#

yeah id say so

inner mortar
#

ahh ok cool cool

ripe wedge
#

ventus 2080 ti kek

jagged ember
#

i have to live with that mistake forever

inner mortar
#

gigabyte's 3060 does have 3 fans instead of msi's 2

jagged ember
#

i tell you, it's sad

inner mortar
#

oof

#

ok thanks guys!

jagged ember
#

it's enough for what i want but bet once i run furmark

#

that things gonna tank

ripe wedge
#

wait u have a ventus 2080 ti? @jagged ember

little osprey
jagged ember
#

2070s ventus

ripe wedge
#

o oof

jagged ember
#

yep

#

i just blow a fan directly down at it

#

seems to help

inner mortar
#

wouldn't it help more to have a fan blowing directly up from it cus hot air rises

balmy patio
#

how do you think graphics cards cool down

#

besides the water cooled ones

jagged ember
#

it uses air

#

blows cool air on the heatsink

#

it already has two fans, adding one more on top gives it more air

inner mortar
#

and blowing air down from the top of the case blows warmer air on it riiiiight

jagged ember
#

i mean it went down by like 1 degree on idle

#

so it works

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

balmy patio
jagged ember
#

there's probably general confusion around that area in terms of airflow

#

but meh, what works works

sly minnow
#

Guys where is the best place to pit my pc

#

Floor or table

jagged ember

i can tell you, not in the fridge

foggy hazel

or the tub

floor if you don't care about dust/will clean the filters

#

table if you do care about dust and won't clean the filters as often

balmy patio
#

and if you have carpet don't put it on the floor

jagged ember
#

oh, yeah carpet floors are bad

#

i forget that's a thing

balmy patio

haha my friend had to buy a stool for his pc cuz he had carpet and it didn't fit on his desk

unique grove

Hey guys i just recently built my new PC and ive keep getting the VGA led light on my motherboard when i attempt to boot, but sometimes when I boot it works perfectly fine im not 100% sure why this is happening and how to fix this. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know ill really appreciate it

dreamy canopy
#

can you elaborate

stoic island
#

Quick reseat of the GPU might help

dreamy canopy
#

actually yeah that's the first step

unique grove
#

ok ill give that a shot

#

its really weird cause it boots perfectly sometimes and sometimes i just get to stare at a black screen

dreamy canopy
#

make sure you pull back the tab of the pcie, uh, thingy

vagrant olive
#

yeah you might not have it put in properly

dreamy canopy
#

pcie, uh help me out here

#

connector?

#

slot

vagrant olive
#

thingy

unique grove
#

but also my other monitor isnt turning on only my main monitor that is being used by a display port

vagrant olive
#

is the word

dreamy canopy
#

make sure you pull back the tab on the pcie slot

#

that is really important

#

unscrew the card as well

stoic island
#

How else do you reseat card :p

unique grove
#

like for example yesterday i booted up like 5 times and then it finally worked after attempting multiple time and it worked like a charm but today when i woke up it went back to just VGA light and now i was able to get it to boot but only one of my monitors are working

dreamy canopy
#

1111, I'm just making sure that he or she does not rip off the slot

vagrant olive
dreamy canopy
#

balenciaga, is it he or she?

#

or them?

unique grove
#

wonder if its maybe the vertical mount i have

dreamy canopy
#

it might be that, yeah

unique grove
#

might uninstall and try doing it normally seeing if that helps

#

if not i have no clue what it could be

dreamy canopy
#

balenciaga please answer my question

unique grove
#

its a he

dreamy canopy
#

ok

#

always good to be safe

unique grove
#

👍

dreamy canopy
#

so yeah, it could be the riser

unique grove
#

ill let yall know how that goes im hoping that its that cause ive spent too much for it to not work lmao

vagrant olive
#

lol

dreamy canopy
#

specs?

unique grove
#

Ryzen 9 5900x and a 3080 strix oc

dreamy canopy
#

i see

#

yeah that would suck if it was defective

unique grove
#

like right now my main monitor is working perfectly fine but my other monitor is just a black screen

dreamy canopy
#

do you have any other graphics cards to make sure it isnt another part?

unique grove
#

yea i have another gpu i can test

#

550 ti lmao

dreamy canopy
#

ok

vagrant olive
#

big

dreamy canopy
#

so first try reseating the 3080

#

then, if that doesn't work, try the 550 ti

unique grove
#

yea for sure imma do it with the vertical mount and if it still not working imma try without and last will be with the 550 ti

dreamy canopy
#

if that works, it's either a driver issue or the card is defective

vagrant olive
#

oh man

dreamy canopy
#

if it still doesn't work then it's a different part

vagrant olive
#

dont even say

#

the last one

dreamy canopy
#

?

unique grove
#

im feeling a driver issue tbh cause i was able to play games and everything perfectly like a charm yesterday

#

its just booting up the pc where its wonky

dreamy canopy
#

does your motherboard have an led indicator

unique grove
#

sometime VGA light pops up and its just black screan or it works

#

yea

dreamy canopy
#

for beep codes

#

is vga just video output

#

wait, the fans spin when you boot, right?

#

i guess it could also be the power cable

unique grove
#

they spin and then stop cause its not working hard

dreamy canopy
#

i just needed to know if they spin

unique grove
#

but like for example rn they are spinning

dreamy canopy
#

so the card is getting power

unique grove
#

yup

dreamy canopy
#

try to see if there are driver updates

#

also, did you have an amd card in the system previously?

unique grove
#

no

dreamy canopy
#

is it a new build?

unique grove
#

yup built it on tuesday

dreamy canopy
#

ok, did you reuse any drives?

unique grove
#

no i updated my motherboard to recent bios for my 5900x

#

everything should be new

dreamy canopy
#

ok

#

well, try without the vertical mount and let us know

unique grove
#

my first boot when i was seeing if it would post it worked fine and then like when i installed windows and everything then if i am correct the VGA light started to keep popping up

dreamy canopy
#

and it would probably be a good idea to try multiple times

#

what motherboard is it

unique grove
#

Asus Rog b550-f

dreamy canopy
#

ok

little osprey
#

So what is @unique grove pc issue

unique grove
#

updated my gpu drivers yesterday yesterday but looks like it didnt work cause its allowing me to download them once again so imma redownload it and try to boot it up again if it doesnt work then i will trying moving the gpu and reseating it

stoic island
#

Btw Pcie 3.0 vert mount cables don't like to work with pcie 4.0 cards after first boot

#

So that's my guess for now

unique grove
little osprey
#

Ok

unique grove
#

hmmm interesting

little osprey
#

Idk much abt that and I’m in school

unique grove
#

i have the phanteks vertical mount

severe axle
#

@vernal pond what cpu do you have in there

stoic island
#

Yea, forgot what youtuber it was, but it was a vert mounted 3080 that just didn't want to work in a SFF system, until they tested it without vert mount

glossy musk
#

i found out i can vertical mount im my MATX case

#

and you know i finna do it

stoic island
#

Either way, try without vert mount

unique grove
#

Will do for sure

stoic island
#

If not doing vert mount doesn't fix it, reset cmos.

unique grove
#

Hmmmm so I updated my gpu driver and reset my pc and the first time it didn’t work but now it brought me to a blue recovery page

stoic island
#

Damn windows

dreamy canopy
#

thats actually not bad

unique grove
#

I clicked continue to windows and boom vga light pops up

#

So much pain

#

Like it works but at the same time it doesn’t work

#

Tried to boot it up once again but still vga light

dreamy canopy
#

ok

#

did you try without the vertical mount

peak schooner
#

hi

dreamy canopy
#

hello

peak schooner
#

I need help...

unique grove
#

Not yet that was just after installing the driver

dreamy canopy
#

what do you need help with?

#

@peak schooner

peak schooner
#

so I want to upgrade my graphics card and I have amd ryzen 3100

unique grove
#

Do u thinking having my aio cooler connected to my cpu fan instead of the aio pump can be a issue

peak schooner
#

I wanted to ask which graphics card would be the best.. to get with this cpu

dreamy canopy
#

do you plan on upgrading the cpu in the future

peak schooner
#

I might but not now..

dreamy canopy
#

do you care about if it's amd or nvidia?

still bay
#

5700xt @peak schooner is what id say

peak schooner
#

not really, i just want what's best

still bay
#

not sure if theres a bottleneck

dreamy canopy
#

what's your budget?

#

the 5700xt is a bit excessive for the 3100

raw mist
#

does anyone know when the nvidia 3000 series will restock?

still bay
#

it will and has

unique grove
#

They restocked yesterday on bb

still bay
#

yeah

balmy patio
#

for a 3100

unique grove
#

@dreamy canopy Do u thinking having my aio cooler connected to my cpu fan instead of the aio pump can be a issue?

still bay
#

no

#

in bios u can change it.

unique grove
#

Yea was thinking about that also

dreamy canopy
#

why would that be an ussie

#

wait what do you mean

unique grove
#

No clue lmao someone said that in yt comments lol

still bay
#

pump require 100% power constantly i beleive and cpu fan headers dont necessarily do that i think

#

u can change inbios what it acts like

unique grove
#

When I payed the first time I got a cpu fan error

#

Posted*

dreamy canopy
#

@peak schooner either a gtx 1650 super or a gtx 1660

balmy patio
#

no

dreamy canopy
#

or a normal gtx 1650

#

for a 3100, it'll go well

balmy patio
#

for a 3100 a 2060 or 5600x is sweet

dreamy canopy
#

the 5600x is a cpu?

#

not a graphics card?

still bay
#

yes

balmy patio
#

xt

#

i meant

dreamy canopy
#

ok

still bay
#

5600x is a cpu, 5600xt is a gpu

peak schooner
dreamy canopy
#

not entirely

#

the 1660 isn't the greatest card

#

but it'll do the job

balmy patio
#

@peak schooner what do you plan on using the gpu for

dreamy canopy
#

if you want upgradability, the 3060ti would probably be the best bet

#

assuming you can find one

peak schooner
#

If i upgrade the cpu I'm thinking of ryzen 5

dreamy canopy
#

@unique grove try plugging it into the aio pump header

#

which ryzen 5?

balmy patio
#

so yeah if you can snag a 3060ti

#

assuming youre getting a 3600

raw mist
#

when will the 3060ti come back into stock??

dreamy canopy
#

2600, 3600, 3600x, 5600x, theres a lot

peak schooner
#

ryaen 5 2400g or 3600 maybe

balmy patio
#

and if you have a b550 board with the laters bios update, you can even put a 5600x in it

dreamy canopy
#

you said you had a 3080?

balmy patio
#

and don't get a 2400g if you're getting a gpu

still bay
#

3100 + b550?

#

i doubt it

dreamy canopy
#

get the 3600 if its between those two

peak schooner
raw mist
#

so how do we know when it comes back?

balmy patio
raw mist
#

ughhhhh

balmy patio
still bay
balmy patio
peak schooner
balmy patio
peak schooner
#

oooooo

#

it wouldn't affect my performance if i use it with ryzen 3 for a while until I get a cup upgrade will it?

thin ledge
#

bruh

balmy patio
#

it won't be trash performance

#

but it'll do until you get a 3600

peak schooner
#

atleast it would be better than what I have right now

balmy patio
#

lmao what do you have rn

peak schooner
#

😅 😅

#

nvidia gt730😝

balmy patio
#

😳

vagrant olive
#

damn

#

thats gonna be a big upgrade

little osprey
#

Hey guys is the prebuilt starter pc plus from Nzxt a good pc

severe axle
#

ehh

vagrant olive
#

its alright

balmy patio
#

you should look into other pre builts

vagrant olive
#

if ur looking for something easy, yes but if ur willing to build

little leaf
#

better to diy

little osprey
#

Should I get it

peak schooner
#

I got it from my uncle, my dad said that I should get it from him

vagrant olive
#

you can get way better specs for a similar price

severe axle
#

xoticpc/redux if you really cannot build one

balmy patio
#

tbh diy is just a giant lego set

#

nothing hard

vagrant olive
#

just watch days of build guides

peak schooner
#

I thought i would save some money

vagrant olive
#

ez /s

little osprey
#

Is building hard

balmy patio
#

i would say that the hardest part in building your own would be cable managing

vagrant olive
#

not rly if you know what ur doing beforehand

peak schooner
#

It backfired and actually cost me more lol

balmy patio
#

but even that doesn't matter cuz nobody is gonna see it

severe axle
#

there are tons of build guides

balmy patio
#

unless you have a transparent back panel

severe axle
#

linus tech tips has a pov one

balmy patio
#

yes

vagrant olive
#

ltt’s pov guide is amazing

#

for me at least

little osprey
#

Ok but what parts are good my budget is 750 usd area

balmy patio
#

i'll see if i can make a list

#
