little leaf
#

#

just using a old 6700 and 1070 build

idle hawk
#

I sold my 1080ti and 1070ti and got my 3080

little leaf
#

rn while I'm waiting

#

my 9900k is just a minecraft server

idle hawk
#

kk ty

peak schooner
#

I once tried overclocking my gpu

#

and all the graphics went black and white-pixelated mess

#

haven't tried oc after that

foggy hazel
#

@vagrant olive i would go for a phantek AMP psu instead

#

very close to same price

little osprey
#

In looking for a good pc to build that is in price range between $500-600

#

Or a good gaming laptop idc

vagrant olive
#

@foggy hazel ez $3 cheaper

#

😎

raw mist
#

its overpriced rn cus of ppl reselling for crazy prices

#

but its a 550 build at normal prices

peak schooner
#

you could go for ryzen 5

foggy hazel
#

@vagrant olive reason for AMP is 3 years extra warranty vs the TXM

native tangle
#

Can anyone help me pickou ta motherboard please

little osprey
#

Any chance is there a website to buy parts cheaper ?

vagrant olive
#

@little osprey right now its holiday season and a bunch of new parts jsut got released so everythings overpriced

little osprey
#

Oh

vagrant olive
#

if ur trying to get it by the end of the holiday season then thats rough

#

but if you can wait then i'd wait for prices to go down

little osprey
#

Ok

#

Well I'm just looking for parts for a good pc that's $500-600 good fps lol

balmy patio
#

could help with that

vagrant olive
#

i actually think ltt has a video on a $500 build

#

does anyoen remember if it was any good or not

balmy patio
#

i jus made two budget builds, one amd and one intel, so prob a change of gpu to both will do the trick

#

i forgot about the vid but ppl were saying that i was a bad value

native tangle
#

Is there anyone that can help me pickout a micro atx motherboard that supports gen intel ?

vagrant olive
native tangle
little osprey
#

@balmy patio I'm new to all this stuff

balmy patio
#

little osprey
#

How would I know what part would work with another part

balmy patio
#

use pcpp

vagrant olive
#

is an amazing site

#

you can pick parts, see prices and stock, compatibility, etc.

little osprey
#

Ok

balmy patio
#

and... the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 OC Edition Graphics Card

I bought both by accident but one says super and one doesnt is there a difference?

#

pls help

balmy patio
#

the card itself is a difference

#

the 1650s is better than the 1650

#

and the 1650 only draws like 75w so it doesn't need to be plugged into the psu iirc

pine kayak
#

yes

balmy patio
#

yes

pine kayak
#

3600 will bottleneck

also 500gb ssd for 100 dollars 😩

hexed dew
#

it's gen4 but u can always switch that out

inner mortar
#

ye u dont need gen4

still bay
#

depends if u want ray tracing and DLSS

wanton cliff
#

do you like ray tracing?

inner mortar
#

^

still bay
#

@inner mortar i never said i did....

#

@hexed dew no point in spending double on a gen4 ssd

wanton cliff
#

gen4 barely affect speed anyways

earnest olive
#

it's not that gen 4 sucks

inner mortar
#

@still bay i was agreeing with IceTitan

earnest olive
#

quite the opposite actually

hexed dew
#

otherwise it would be better to get a b550(wifi)

obtuse compass
earnest olive
#

the cards aren't powerful enough to utilize all that bandwidth

wanton cliff
#

how is ray tracing on the RDNA2 cards anyways?

obtuse compass
#

I apologize this would be the correct one

earnest olive
#

it's more of gen 4 being overkill for current gpus

obtuse compass
#

it has 449 estimated wattage

earnest olive
#

it's double the bandwidth, ssds have no problem using it

inner mortar
#

gen4 is overkill unless you're video editing

obtuse compass
inner mortar
#

thats why its supported

earnest olive
#

...because it supports pcie 4? lol

earnest olive
#

supporting pcie 4 doesn't mean it can saturate it

inner mortar
#

yea exactly, your graphics card will be using the pcie bandwidth anyways

wanton cliff
#

but not well enough for it to be worth it

earnest olive
#

pcie 4 is just a wider highway... doesn't increase the number of cars going down it

still bay
#

@wanton cliff what kind of fps do u get in games?

wanton cliff
#

80+ on max

earnest olive
#

top pcie 4 ssds are almost exactly double as fast as top pcie 3 ssds.. it's not a problem of pcie 4

#

@fleet pagoda why exactly do you care how badly it'll bottleneck if you're planning to upgrade gpu already

#

it's not like bottlenecking damages anything

#

it just means your cpu is gonna be resting more

fleet pagoda
#

Bc i dont know when ill be able to get it

#

Could be a weeks or months

earnest olive
#

there is no detrimental effect of bottlenecking

still bay
fleet pagoda
#

Alr alr

earnest olive
#

all it means is that some of your hardware is not being used to its potential

obtuse compass
wanton cliff
earnest olive
#

which is a moot point if you're already planning to upgrade

wanton cliff
#

y'all have heard of Heaven right?

fleet pagoda
#

Oh okay i thought it meant something else

earnest olive
#

it will not damage your cpu

fleet pagoda
#

Alr ty ty

inner mortar
wanton cliff
#

everyone in this channel: You all have heard of the Heaven benchmark, right?

little osprey
#

yeah

earnest olive
#

okay picture this.. you have a pizza restaurant, the kitchen could theoretically put out a pizza every 2 minutes because it has so many ovens, but there are only enough delivery drivers to dispatch a delivery every 5 minutes

inner mortar
#

is seduced

earnest olive
#

so regardless of how fast the kitchen works, pizzas only get out as fast as the drivers can dispatch

#

that's a bottleneck

#

in this case your cpu is the kitchen, the gpu is the drivers, and they're delivering frames

this guys analogies are from another world lmao

obtuse compass
earnest olive
#

good call

#

don't want it to shut down during an update 👀

inner mortar
#

oof

obtuse compass
#

I just wanna know the right amount of wattage the ups will need to be

earnest olive
#

i had that happen during a BIOS update

#

luckily the board had a manual bios flashback button so it wasn't bricked

#

a cheaper board would've been bricked

inner mortar
#

oh noice

inner mortar
#

so about 500W

stoic island
#

By the way, any good PSU doesn't care about power outages, there's a reason why people test for holdup time on PSUs

little osprey
#

cant your mobo just die while it shuts off during an update?

earnest olive
#

if it's a bios update

slim escarp
#

Boys I’m actually kinda lucky I bought a case and it which wasn’t supposed to have a fan controller because that version costed 20 dollars more and it came with one. Ps my mobo doesn’t have a rgb header so

earnest olive
#

if the mobo shuts down and you don't have bios flashback the board is bricked

#

unless you physically replace the bios chip

#

if it shuts down during a windows update it might corrupt something in the OS but it won't break your hardware

stoic island
#

@earnest olive sometimes even with bios flashback you might be screwed, dual bios on a few boards is another way around it

earnest olive
#

yeah that's true it's not 100% foolproof

#

i'm lucky mine worked

stoic island
#

Mhm

earnest olive
#

time to fail 100 bios updates to test the success rate

stoic island
#

@obtuse compass but anyways, if you're only worried about hardware not dying, as long as you have a good PSU, power outages will go fine.

If you're worried about having like a battery bank or something so you can use it during a power outage, might be worth.

fleet pagoda
#

How could the board be bricked?

#

What has to happen for that to happen

inner mortar
earnest olive
#

in short, bios is what tells the board how to turn on

#

if the board loses power during a bios update

little osprey
#

i have two really old ups but i need battery replacements for them :/

earnest olive
#

the board no longer remembers how to turn on

stoic island
#

@inner mortar I'll give an example brb, but any decent PSU will be able to tell your PC to shut off before anything bad happens.

inner mortar
#

oh thats awesome

#

i didnt know that haha

earnest olive
#

some boards have functionality that allows you to rewrite the bios from usb without needing to be booted

#

but some boards will just be bricked if that happens

#

a lot of midrange boards have flashback feature but entry level ones won't

inner mortar
#

what price point would you say is midrange?

calm minnow
#

when would one even be updating bios

earnest olive
#

you'll see some on boards in the $115-150 area

inner mortar
#

usd?

earnest olive
#

yeah

inner mortar
#

ahh cool cool

earnest olive
#

@calm minnow updating to a ryzen 5000 compatible bios is one

fleet pagoda
#

Can static electricity break a motherboard

earnest olive
#

bios updates also sometimes improve memory compatibility

#

when I updated my bios it allowed me to run ram stable at 3800mhz

#

whereas before it was only stable at 3733 and would throw errors at 3800

#

not a big deal for most people but if you like tuning it's worth doing sometimes

little osprey
earnest olive
#

and yes

fleet pagoda
#

Im nervous that ill break my mobo w static some how

little osprey
#

its not as serious as people make it seem

earnest olive
#

newer parts are getting better protection against ESD damage

#

but it's still a risk

little osprey
#

yeah for sure

earnest olive
#

when i work on a pc i discharge myself every 5-10 minutes

calm minnow
stoic island
earnest olive
#

and don't work on a carpet floor

fleet pagoda
#

I used an anti static wrist strap thing today and yesterday i didnt

little osprey
#

you can plug in your psu and keep it off and then touch it every couple minutes to discharge yourself

earnest olive
#

@calm minnow it's not bad but you definitely overpaid for that 2060

inner mortar
#

also any piping in your house should be grounded

#

like taps

little osprey
#

^

calm minnow
#

yea but like everything is out of stock

inner mortar
#

also general metal appliances like toasters microwaves and ovens

little osprey
#

you can discharge yourself by touching your case

fleet pagoda

Thats what i did yesterday

#

Every few mins i would touch the case

earnest olive
#

i've found that it's easier to get the rx 5000 series at reasonable prices than the rtx 20 series

sapphire pulse 5600XT is $388 cad and outperforms the 2060 in raster

I wanna wait but idkkkk im inpatient

my friend's friend paid 1900 usd (2450 cad) for a 2060 prebuilt

What the..

calm minnow

goddamn

i sell 2060 prebuilts for 900 usd

can't imagine marking it up that much

fleet pagoda
#

Jesus

little osprey
#

just dont with prebuilts lmao. theyre so overpriced

earnest olive
#

it had an i5-10400, 2060, 16gb 3000mhz ram, 512gb dramless ssd, 1tb hdd, mystery psu

#

1900 usd

little osprey
earnest olive
#

but you know what at least it had epic gamer rgb sunglaso

little osprey
#

rgb made it better

calm minnow
#

yea i just went with some rgb on my case cuz i felt like i needed some lol

earnest olive
#

but my $900 prebuilts still manage to fit a decent amount of rgb in them

little osprey
#

prebuilts always charge like 100+ for labor or sum like that and the parts arent even that good for the price

earnest olive
#

lol, you wish prebuilts only charged 100 for labor

#

i often charge around that much and still end up $100+ cheaper than one from amazon/newegg

little osprey
#

lmao but yours arent prebuilts

earnest olive
#

they are

#

i'm building them before selling them

little osprey
#

they make sense for the budget of the people

earnest olive
#

therefore they are prebuilts

little osprey
#

ok sure

stoic island
#

Good prebuild man

#

I need to make prebuilds lol

little osprey
#

but still price to performance makes sense

#

for your builds

earnest olive
#

i charge 10% of parts cost with a minimum of 75

#

"reasonably" priced prebuilts are often around 30%

#

with cyber monday sales they can be 15-20% markup

#

i'm not really in it for the money

inner mortar
#

how many have you sold?

earnest olive
#

i'm in it to get the opportunity to enjoy building 8 pcs a month without being rich 😂

little osprey
#

tbh i was contemplating buying a prebuilt before even acknowledging the fact that i could build one

calm minnow
#

same

earnest olive
#

21, i've been on a break to focus on life for now

inner mortar
#

oh wow, its pretty popular then

little osprey
#

the only bad thing about my build is that i got a defective cpu 🙃

inner mortar
#

is the defect that its intel?

#

cus thats a rip my dood

little osprey
#

read my name lol

inner mortar
#

oh lol 😂

#

whats wrong with it

little osprey
#

yeah but im gonna return it

#

um tbh i dont know but the cpu light on my mobo literally wouldnt turn off no matter what i did

#

and also i could never boot up into windows without it going into a restart loop

inner mortar
#

huh rip

#

also i changed my name :)

earnest olive
#

out of all of the full build orders i've done so far, the average customer budget is $995.91

little osprey
#

seems correct

inner mortar
#

yeah that seems reasonable

little osprey
#

reasonable was the word i was looking for lmao

earnest olive
#

with the lowest being $476.25 and the highest being $1567.29

inner mortar
#

hehe

#

wow what can you get for 400??

#

thats like nothing

little osprey
#

used parts im guessing

earnest olive
#

that price includes tax

#

and no all new parts

little osprey
#

yeah thats pretty good

inner mortar
#

nice nice

earnest olive
#

since i don't have to do any cable management besides "secure it away from the fans" for a build like this i can knock it out in 15-20 minutes

little osprey
#

yeah adata ssd's are like the best budget ssd's you can get

earnest olive
#

sadly this model hasn't been on sale in a while

i've been using PNY CS2311 as my go-to $35 dram ssd instead

I am getting a new pc

I think you are spending a little more than you need to on that mobo but everything else is great price/performance

olive kraken

I was worried she might run out of usbs

because she likes to plug in all her devices to her pc

you can always get usb expansion

just different sellers

severe axle

thats a higher cas latency

cant look up and make sure theyre the exact same but the c20 one has a higher cas latency (worse performance)

basically just dont get the 3rd one

any of them except the c20 one are fine

Alright I’ll go with the one with the most positive reviews except from the C20

I would get the CMW16GX4M2C3600C18

the M2C is a samsung die

Hey can someone help me I have a b460m motherboard and I’m looking to get 2666mhz, but when I built my pc and powered it on into bios for the first time, it showed my ddr speed as 2133 does anyone know why this could be?

vestal schooner
#

How about the one with 13 reviews?

narrow rose
#

the M2Z is just a little older version

vestal schooner
#

Some people say this particular ram has compatibility issues with the B450

narrow rose
#

its fine the M2C is a newer and might OC higher but they are both good ram and the M2C is cheaper

vestal schooner
#

Not the Gx4m but in general corsair vengeance pro rgb

narrow rose
#

that only means XMP you can still manually overclock it to 3600 no problem with amd b450

#

XMP = automatically clocking the ram to the right speed in bios

earnest olive
#

@grim pagoda you need to turn on XMP in bios settings

Can some one tell me y it’s incompatible

you need a case

vagrant olive
pulsar crag
#

It’s for trading, I don’t need high end graphics for gaming. Originally was going to go with the gt 710 but that’s getting hard to come by

vagrant olive

its because of the zen 3 cpu

you may have to update your bios to make the mobo compatible

yeah ik

urban light
#

I don’t have another cpu tho

are you on a computer rn

I already have two ports in my motherboard with the integrated Graphics card so I need two more ports

i believe its hynix m die iirc

vagrant olive
#

@urban light dont worry the board will be compatible

or does that only mirror screens

#

what 1660 shouldi get

desert gulch
#

1660 super

inner mortar
#

one with rgb

desert gulch

1660 super is rly good value

pretty much any 1660 super works

balmy patio
#

but don't get those with a skimpy single fan 😳

desert gulch
#

dang 1660s is overpriced rn

balmy patio
#

some single fan are good but if you have the space get two fans for more air

desert gulch
#

for like mini-itx builds one fan cards are da best

balmy patio
#

yeah

prime flax
#

what is a good price for one

prime flax
#

why it have 2 displays and 2 hdmis, the other brands have 3 hdmis

desert gulch
#

whats wrong with 2 hdmis?

balmy patio
#

yeah

desert gulch
#

displayport is better now

balmy patio
#

2 hdmi and 2 dp is nice

desert gulch
#

more common on gaming monitors

#

yeah

prime flax
#

but wouldn't you want three of the same things if you were going for triple monitors

desert gulch
#

id think at least one monitor would have DP

balmy patio
#

not necessarily

#

yeah let's say you have a seggs 1080p monitor

#

that's like 144hz

desert gulch
#

displayport is a really good port

balmy patio
#

and two others that are 60hz

severe axle
#

wait when did displayport become better? doesn't hdmi 2.1 have higher bandwith?

desert gulch
#

joesr you do know hdmi 2 can easily do 1080p 144 right?

balmy patio
#

yes

desert gulch
#

@severe axle so bascially HdMI 2.0 cant do 1440p 144hz

#

bascially where hdmi 2 falls out

worn cedar
severe axle
#

but theres hdmi 2.1

desert gulch
#

so

#

hdmi 2.1 does beat DP 1.4

#

but DP 2.0 beats any hdmi

so thats your answer

can someone give me the channel for mics

wouldnt that be
