5000 series is 4th gen ryzen
msi bios update pages are confusin
I just wanted to beat this tiktoker ass with this build
what's his user
lmao
Hmm... so... I re-enabled ESD and it happens still, but with it disabled, it seemed stable for a solid 10 mins
However, with it disable and the "allow the computer to power off USB device to save power" enabled, it also happened. Think it could be both of those setting together clashing?
im a new guy and i need help for a build, if i was on a budget of lets say $1500 CAD what build would you suggest?
i love how hes right on so much stuff lol
@earnest olive unfortunately, still happening :c
I really thought we had it for a while there
It happens with no devices plugged in. It just keeps happening
honestly might be a defective usb controller on the board
is it in the return window? kinda sucks to return a board cause it means you have to disassemble the whole build
Yeah, Asus provide a 3 year warranty with all x570 boardsd
I really don't want to build this again, it was a literal nightmare -.-
at least you can leave cables and stuff in place
although
i would wait until naed wakes up and see if he has an insight that i don't
Im gonna try to upgrade my psu, gpu, and monitor before febuary next year, i really wish i could just get a job tho.
Core i3 6100U - 4 GB RAM - 500 GB HDD specs of my laptop
The only thing I haven't ruled out, is perhaps I've made a short somewhere with bad cable management
Like it's a mess out the back and honestly, having 8 LL120s connected to a Commander Pro...
Now, my keyboard is a Corsair K95 so both use iCue
that isn't really possible unless you've somehow messed it up so badly that a sata power port's contacts are making direct contact with the motherboard
Is one of your usb ports not working, if so I have the same issue but I havent really tried to fix it
which should not be possible
and if you were shorting it there would likely be more problems
did u accidentily rip off the insulating pads on the power supply
If I plug my keyboard into a USB 3 port, the moment it happens, all fans ramp up to 100% speed and the lighting effects crash for about 6 seconds, and then you get the sound windows makes when you plug a device in after it kicks back in
But it only does it with the keyboard
could it be the commander pro?
@dapper hornet what issue are u having wtf lmao
π₯Ά π₯Ά
@dapper hornet if you unplug all usb devices does it still happen periodically?
including keyboard and mouse
yeah, even with literally nothing plugged in it happens
interesting
if it happens on usb plug in it could be the board
I've never tried disconnecting the rgb controller though
could you uninstall icue and see if it still persists with nothing plugged in?
it happened even before I had iCue installed so I never really thought of it until now
oh
see if uhh
hmm
Can i have some help my pc wont turn on
hmmmm
@fleet pagoda j9 did you just build it
Yeah
Lets get doms PC booting, mine is at least functionable for now π
sucks
open a command prompt and run
sfc /scannow
let that finish then run
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
see if anything changes after those two
nah soundcrank dom just didnt know how to build their pc, you have an actual ISSUE and its interesting me
I know this is dumb but psu is on right
Yeag
those two commands will check for any OS corruption
yes do what bleach said
24 pin, eps, and pci are plugged in
Yep
I think I done this ffor Anthony at LTT, I'll run it again in case it was something else
wdym done it for anthony lol
I had him trying to help me with this before lol
Are you 100% sure your ram is compatible
i've had those two commands fix weird issues i was having after tuning my overclocks
since one of the crashes caused minor OS corruption
Yea
you mentioned that your ram now goes to 3600 instead of 3200 on new bios which makes me think there could have been potential instability before
Front panel?
It's all the USB 3 port, both board and front panel
Do you have power switch plugged in@fleet pagoda
Yes
Have you tried turning on from the motherboard
i have heard of some x570 boards' usb controllers having problem with certain VR headsets but never with nothing plugged in
dom just post a pic of all your cables so we can get this over with
so it shouldn't be a board problem unless defective
and did you try shorting the power pins
hmm... says I'm not an administrator lol I only have the one windows account though
i am refusing to help you actually lmao your name makes me gag
WHY WAS IT ON
@dapper hornet could be you just didn't start the command prompt as an admin
also
if you felt electricity you did something terribly wrong
LOL
U wont help me because of my name
ahh, let me try again
ok
you probably fried something important
those front panel connectors do not look correct to me
yeah
yep, just needed to run as admin lol
Nah not really, what mobo
Yeah, let's go off motherboard model
i've used like 15 different AM4 boards and all of them had the same front panel layout
I moved the ones on the bottom over one
Yeah ik just checking
B550m
Did it do anything?
pull them all out and send pic of the header
literally short every pin on the front panel till it turns on
only in some boards IIRC
ez
oh god why
I did

Isnt there supposed to he 5 and not 3
Mine has audio, usb, power and reset sw, power and reset led
missing spaces in the dism
ahh, 2 moments
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
swear I am never building a PC again xD
Honestly, if paying an extra 300 bucks to avoid this stuff, I'd be over the moon lol
that's right... a ryzen 9 3900x prebuilt... with no thermal paste... can be yours for only $13,477

$300 is optimistic
Lets go gamers
Did it do nothing
that prebuilt costs about as much as my car
Yeah nothing happened
the issue still remained?
Yep, just happened right there
@earnest olive xotic doesnt kill you on the markup tbh
i'm out of any ideas besides hardware fault
i would wait to see if naed has anything to say about it
i'm not sure what timezone he is but he went to bed about 5 hours ago
ive used them for work several times and personally around 3 or 4 times
how much is it?
from personal experience "reasonable prebuilts" are around 30% markup
We must ascend to levels higher than naed has ever graced
since i sell custom prebuilts i monitor the competition sometimes lol
I really do have an issue that can't be pinned down it seems xD
What is your markup?
10%, minimum $75 if it has a transparent panel, minimum $50 if not
That's really competitive actually
Wow reasonable prices π
some other local guys do it for less but i have a more impressive resume
I watch the latest LTT secret shopper thing and the iBuyPower PC they got was actually cheaper pre-built than they could source themselves
thats p good
xotic is maybe 20-30%
but they honestly arent like
desktop builders
they just also do desktops
the minimum $50 builds i can just slap all this in a case and it doesn't matter how it looks as long as the cables ain't in the fans
$50 for 20 minutes of building
@dapper hornet if that's the case it's almost certainly because of the DIY market just being volatile right now
i saw the same video
it had a 3700X + 2070 SUPER
theyre laptop makers first and foremost
or integrators
i try to get all my clevos from them
those have been doable without really cutting corners for like 1200-1250
when prices are normal
and prebuilts love cutting corners on ram speed, psu quality, and ssd quality
That''s the very one
2070 SUPER DIY prices are just stupid right now because they got discontinued and too much demand
Low psu quality scares me
where its ssds that arent dramless and meet speed requirements
and psus that they test to be good enough
actually even with the inflated prices
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XVfw7X 1400 and probably uses some better components than ibuypower does
that took me like 45 seconds to part out
man the 3700X is 329 right now
I would probably just buy a prebuilt if i was super rich. Building is fun but messing up is srtessful
i bought one for 267 a few months ago
It's so frustrating because the parts I have are all real high quality. The GPU being the weakest component in the PC technically speaking
i could be given 5 billion dollars tomorrow and still build my own
building my own is most of the fun for me
oh true its the most fun for sure
i like building/talking about pcs more than i like gaming on them
i use xotic for their laptops
But you have much skill. I am the same and had tons of fun building my pc its just stressful
i am currently happy with my 4 year old budget laptop
it does what i need it to do
best prices on clevo chassis ive seen
which is currently nothing actually considering covid
the only time i power it on now is for exams
Chromebook gang
since our exams require webcam and my laptop is the only webcam i have
nah definitely not a chromebook
Yeah ik they suck
eh
But i have one so its what i use
chromebooks have a reason to exist
Yeah cheap laptops for schools
and @earnest olive but 5950x laptop
I mean they can do some stuff fine
i have the pixelbook 
5950x in a laptop? that's weak
5950x for my backup laptop
tfw 1.7k chromebook 
Now thats a machine
threadripper 3990x "laptop"
goml
Anything under 64 core is pathetic
with up to 2 tesla v100
that is indeed 64 cores in a laptop
but
using the word laptop very loosely
because if you put this thing on your lap your legs are going to die from cut off circulation
or being cooked
whichever comes first
Yeah but you can still do itπ
it's worth the flex
I cook meals on my backup 64 core 3090 system
cheap laptop tbh

hold on
My PC is actually a thing of beauty too (excluding the bad cable management)
Specs
Oi, whats a good case for a 3970x?
none
10900K is a lot of things but efficient isn't one of them
You haven't seen out the back xD
i can see a few areas for improvement but i've seen worse
Oh boy you should see the back of mine
It was nice enough that Newegg shared it on their IG and Twitter xD
Non modular psu
@hollow grail price is misleading.. i hit customize and immediately it jumped to $3800
π
cause that was the config i set up
@dapper hornet what card is that?
Oi, what a good case for a 3970x with a Zenith II (eATX) and an 360mm AIO
DM me with answer pls
sucks that one of my least fave card makers makes the only nice white cards
Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super OC Edition
Sweet deal
yeah turns out you can add unlimited memory cards to the order
99999999 tb of ram
never mind there is a limit
Oh no what if someone wants more
the website is not happy
it's switching back and forth between ridiculous price and 2k
it's confused
lmao stop breaking them
Basically, this is the sound I am getting
Ali express>corsair
And it's can got from happening once every half hour to every 10 seconds
There seems to be no pattern to it
lol, you can also add unlimited shirts to your order
I'm allowed to send a PC part picker link right
mm gimme that sweet merch
Ok
Love the merch
i dunno this seems a little bit out of my laptop budget
when i get my partner a laptop im laser engraving it

see if this config works for you
LOL
@dry nexus should be good for the price
@earnest olive That Should Also Be Good For The Price
i wonder if it'll let you check out
*accidentally buys
i feel like my bank would just call me and be like "dude what"
"My guy what are you doing"
"how did you manage to buy something for almost 1 septillion dollars"
i clicked add to cart and it is not working
wait it worked
My goals are beyond your understanding
oh no there's a quantity selector
I didn't actually pay that much for the parts
388 with tax
oh the quantity selector barely does anything because it doesn't count the extras
Thats still a good price
What do you plan on doing with the pc
light word processing
Minecraft and GTA V
kid's spamming memes in general
Should be absolutely fine
so i came here for refuge
checkout limited the quantities to 1 million each :/
lmao sips that's very unfortunate
thanks honey extension for finding coupons on my 1.7 billion dollar laptop
Wait windows for only $39?
@last blaze what mousepad is that?
I mean I got it for free thru my college so Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Lmao, windows for only $5
Nice
aww
Oh no
@earnest olive Just want to say, I really appreciate all the time and effort you've went to to help with this issue, if anything, we've put a lot of variable to rest at least
with 1 million shirts, 1 million memory cards, etc
Dont do it
@dapper hornet no problem i hope naed has the answer
Hello again.
This doesnt seem like a good idea man
If not, I am cashing in on warranties xD
@sinful hornet it's the razer goliathus extended
Ah, ok thanks
my wardrobe is about to get interesting
I can get the entire PC replaced still xD
I got it off the razer website for I think 50$ or so
I think if you got that the president himself would come knocking on your door
what on earth are these prices like? ...
Can anyone help me with MSi click bios 5? Its picking up my drives but not booting from them.
Is that for real?
wdym
Imagine loading the trucks
oooo it's millions xD
1 million bottles from lttstore.com
xotic pc country
literally was so happy when i stripped out all the ads from ltt
made it somewhat watchable again
Twinsies
For the rest of your life
we can make people think we never wash our shirt
A brand new matching shirt every day
for the rest of our lives
Lmao
bold of you to assume i'm only going to live for 1 million days
i love people who ask for help and then just dip
And for our family for generations to come
π³
i am a mcafee install on a prebuilt, i am immortal FOOL
1 million shiortts though... that's enough to give one to over 20% of all the people in my entire country
i do mcafee installs
sips they usually get uninstalled
If you drink i trillion 5 hour energies you become immortal
1 million shirts would about about 2.9 or 8% of my country
I million shirts is 1/330 of my country, not doing the conversion to percent
you must be secure
it's named endpoint.. because it will be there at your end
Does avast really do anything?
Windows defender
i'm sure you can remove it by nuking the entire OS if nothing else
that's probably better than avast
malwarebytes boiii
Thatβs the one I have
i used to use malwarebytes
then it shut down my pc without warning during a ranked match
i was not amused
malwarebytes do be decent
I think i downloaded a virus trying to get minecraft mods
lol
And I canβt figure out how to uninstall avast ;-;
malwarebytes is so bad
Cause itβs literally always on
I fixed it tho
at least it was when i tested it
hm?
first 50 samples broke it
malwarebytes sooo goood thoo
Taking maybe 2-10% of everything
i literally had to talk to their engineers to make sure i was testing it right
they were like wtf yeah
I didnt wait for the whole page to load in and just clicked download but it turns out that i clicked an ad
mbam realtime is so bad lul
"lol no our software good u are just stupid dum dum"
i was like well congrats u just lost an enterprise contract
lel
It's good for average users
I see nobody has mentioned Norton yet
WE SPEAK NOT OF THAT
π
ποΈ
the best antivirus is common sense
It just goes straight to BIOS, it shows my drives as devices, but I'm unable to select them to boot from.
yea
Do what I do, run absolutely zero protection
i have unlimited vl keys for symantec endpoint protection
Is anybody here on linux
Sound you use common sense lol
And windows defender
it was a 10 year trial
I do try π
10 year trial
It's difficult I know
best protection is no wifi
I used to run Kasperky, but it's pretty dominatrix like
But our sponsor honey isn't difficult
my fave AV is emsisoft though
it was the only AV i tested that got a clean sheet vs 1tb of samples
i don't have wifi on my desktop but i am thinking about adding it just as a backup
Free real estate is better than 10 year trial
so i can connect to a hotspot if my home network is down
Does he always improv his segways? Lmao
kaspersky is nice if ur into all ur data going to russia
oh
Basically
I got an Asus wifi add in card, it's really nice considering it was only $30
you're right i forgot about usb tethering
although
i was talking more about the free xfinitywifi hotspot because
Huh, thought theyβd be more or less scripted
i only have 1gb/month of mobile data
so i'd be very limited if i was using my mobile hotspot
My drives x_x
I mean considering how many I do
oof, I get 100 gb a month on mine for Β£17.50 a month
youll actually need a vpn for that lol
Im leaving now goodbye people
They may well be improv
i am gonna test if it works right now tho
be right back
i have now disabled my ethernet adapter
oh hey it works
that's neat
wow i rly like my new cursor
oh wait
anyone know if there will be enough room in a corsair 4000d airflow to top mount a 240mm arctic freezer ii ?
yep
i thought it was data only like hotspot
alright guess i do not need a wifi card then
time to run a speedtest through usb tethering
lmao
wow that is seriously impressive
hnggg this cursor
i didnt think id be so impressed with something so simple
but its so nice
my normal speed is 340/12, this is through usb tethering
i was expecting it to be significantly more gimped
When lockdown started, my internet died a week in and cause it was so strict here, my ISP legally couldn't send out an engineer - I had 3 months of mobile phone tethering xD
It's actually faster than my broadband line is anyway, ping isn't so good though
nvm i guess it doesn't want to work right now
my house is just on the edge of its coverage so it's spotty
Bro I wish man
@jagged ember thanks for saving me $40 lol
Gotchu
Hmm..m
My entire PC has now siezed... This has never happened before
A new symptom has appeared
But it's like 5am I can't deal with this anymore π€£π€£
oof
gf is making me a custom logo for my symantec download page
im sad
get it engraved on her laptop @hollow grail
Jeeze, even holding in the power button won't force shut down π¬
looks like Endpant ngl
if you need to force shut down and power button isn't working
hit the power switch on the psu
it's sounding to me like you are gonna need to return mobo tbh
Yeah, I think at this stage, I'm going to be "that guy" and cash in on all warranties I can
who made the motherboard?
wow thats surprising
revised
I forgot about that issue
i would go ahead and say that psu and gpu could not possibly be the root cause
ram and cpu extremely unlikely
like, it could be a cpu problem but cpus are extremely rare to be defective
I'll chance my luck, see if I can get shiny new parts xD
Well, I do get a bunch of ram related bsods, but only when doing stressful tasks
Like rendering animation for example
hmm
what ram do you have exactly?
3600mhz ram with >16gb is not guaranteed to be stable on zen 2
even 3600mhz at 16gb is not guaranteed although that's like 99.9%
more ram is harder to run at the same speed
I got G.Skill Trident Neo 64gb (4x16) @3600 MHz with 16/16/18 timings
yeah it might just be more than your CPU can handle
i don't think the 3900X has a different memory controller from the lower end zen 2
Hmm...
you gotta remember the "guaranteed" speed is 3200MHz
and that's 3200C22 JEDEC
anything better than 3200C22 is technically overclocking and not guaranteed
I honestly wouldn't know, but it's only been running at that speed since the updated bios tonight, it's been capped at 3200 ever since built
were bsods still happening at 3200?
...wow
thats a lot of bsod
something else is wrong most likely and the usb ports is just a side effect
I've put up with some serious hardships on this thing, hence why I am at my wit's end lol
i suspect the ram
a stick may be faulty or something
lol i'm just undervolted
stability issues are not normal
still good performance tho
I'll start with Mobo, first thought I had was maybe the board isn't good enough to handle this much power delivery
nah, ryzen chips are not that demanding
I got two m.2s and 5 SSDs also, there's a lot in the PC
you can run a ryzen 9 3900x just fine on a $90 B550M board
Hmm
I make video animations a lot for music visuals :)
i've got my cpu undervolted by 84mV and my gpu undervolted by 75mV
have never gotten a crash outside of tuning overclocks
i just uh
So, if I just skip you my PC... π€£π€£
turned down my tdp or something
Ship*
wait no, i lowered my PPL
and you sound like you're from across the pond
so even more
actually
if it's 5:50AM for you right now maybe you're in oceania
or an expat in SEA?
I'm not rich, but I'd pay an arm or two to get this stuff sorted though... Getting 5 hours into a 6 hour render to hit a bsod has literally lost me clients :(
at sea
yeah i would say if your system is crashing with XMP manually adjusted down to 3200MHz, plus this USB port issue
PC says 5:52
something's defective that an average user cannot be expected to diagnose
so just mass return
Extended warranties, got to love them xD
Yeah, UK :)
Everything was UK sourced, except the ram. That came from the US Newegg
yeah i don't even want to imagine how expensive it would be to ship to and from the UK
if it costs me $200 to ship a pc from california to florida
I can ship my PC from UK to Sweden for Β£25... But if I ship to Holland, which is half the distance, it's Β£400 π€£
Sweden has brilliant importing laws

which is better G.Skill TridentZ Neo RGB 32GB DDR4 3600 Cl16 or Cl18?
lower cl is better
16 it is then
The only reason I know this is because I went on holiday for a month to Sweden and legit shipped my old pc over for the month. It was cheaper than getting travel insurance on my laptop π€£π€£
must be nice not being american
you can trust your shipping companies with fragile pc?
ok another question which is better 2TB Samsung 860 EVO 2TB or Crucial MX500?
difference will be negligible buy whichever is cheaper
I know how to pack a PC, and it was a brute of a thing anyway
yep
both are the same price where im from
same price? samsung lol
flip a coin
Also, I would give anything to have a right to own guns right about now the way things are going
or, flip a coin
are you saying they are both the same?
'difference is negligible'
@dapper hornet packed properly doesn't matter when they decide to play soccer with your package
in case you were wondering, yes, the properly packed case inside was broken
Solid steel case and an Asus TUF tank grade MoBo though xD
It survived both ways :p
military grade means "done by the lowest bidder for as cheaply as possible"
it's not a good thing

remember when linus shipped the creeper pc?
The Sabertooth R2 was graded for impact from missile so they claimed π€£
i would not trust american shipping companies with my baby
the damn thing was so well packed
Yep
it still broke on arrival
To be fair though, I never tested that π€£π€£
Hey I was wondering if anyone knows how to overclock the RAM on a laptop that doesn't have the options in the BIOS to set the frequencies?
you can't
if bios wont let you i dont think you can yeah
Yeah that is what I was thinking as well
laptop ram overclocking is really not a thing
Alright thanks for the reassurance
typically the motherboard is only designed to accept up to a certain speed anyways
I need help
Overclocking laptops isn't the best thing to do.
my laptop takes 2400mhz ram
if you put 2666mhz ram in it
it will look at you funny and then downclock that ram to 2400mhz
if you want to overclock your cpu but you don't know how to start, you should probably not be overclocking
true
How does one sip bleach seductively though?
there are guides in #overclocking pinned
I know
And I wouldn't overclock a laptop anyway.
um
i'd do pbo and just be happy with what i have
wrong chat
@dapper hornet with lots of practice
I fun thee, Cloroxchan
im sorry about that...
*dub

Oh... Well... I see I've been beaten to this punch before π€£
Well the one I wanted to OC has a max RAM capacity of 67gb so I would think that having 4gb of integrated RAM and 16gb of upgradable RAM. The max Frequency that the processor takes is around 1600hz or something like that, but the RAM is only working at a max rate of 933hz. Ive tried it with 2 other RAM sticks and its the same with those.
THATS ALLOT
sorry meant 64gb
Im fixing up this laptop for my mom cause she has a really dated one.
This isnβt the place. Iβd suggest deleting.
Lol
that entire message is just confusion
Haha yeah
my head is spinning
alright you wnt me to sum it up
Mine too xD
933hz
does your mom.. need 64gb of ram?
Yep
8 would be perfectly fine
i upgraded my mom's laptop from 8gb to 16gb and she literally did not notice
her tabs were taking 6 seconds to load from pagefile
and went to instant
and somehow she didn't notice
like each time she switched tabs it would take 6 seconds
Jesus
Anybody wants to watch anime?
Thatβs a pretty significant increase lol
i bought her an RGB keyboard for her birthday so she's basically a gamer
6s -> instant
she had me cycle all the rgb effects so she could record it and flex it on her boomer friends
Your mom will become twitch streamer bro
My laptop is 8gb and is fine for most tasks except having multiple stuff open when gaming. It isn't even close to made for gaming tho.
OK, I have put 3 different RAM sticks in my laptop. 2 being 4gb and 1 16gb. I have tested all of them with CPU-Z and Task Manager and both read the max speed for all of them is 933Mhz (my bad for the miss information).
uhh
But web browsing is fine with 8 imo.
individual sticks cannot be single or dual channel
Confusion π―
can i send my pcpartpicker list and someone can tell me what to change?
the channeling is the board slots
Ye
933 sounds about right, you mentioned it is dated so it's probably ddr3-1866, cpu-z reports real speed rather than the doubled transfer speed of ddr
You reply to him?
Honestly, I feel like this is my real identity
You don't want to reply to me ?
I just wanted to say that.... I love you guys! Even if i don't know who are you!
i like everything i chose, except im not a fan of the case or cooler, there is a deepcool castle 360 RGB V2 which i heard is really good, but only problem is there is no RF120 Fans available, and idk if it would be a good idea to get corsair ll120 fans instead, and im not a fan of the case aswell so yeah...
a laptop with an i7-5700HQ would support DDR3L-1866 which has a real clock speed of 933mhz
Its a Lenovo Ideapad 320-15ABR
Ok I will look at the list
Im just trying to get an idea of why all 3 RAM sticks read a speed of 933Mhz
"CPU: AMD A12 9720P"
i'm sorry but i'm going to have to report you for elder abuse for giving your mom an A series APU
I have LL120 - honestly, they look stunning but very overpriced. They don't work at all withouut a commander Pro, so slap an extra $50 on top of whatever your budget for fans is if going with LL120s
jokes aside
omg its the only one I have that no-one uses
933MHz is the correct speed for that processor
you have ll120 with deepcool cooler or corsair?
can you tell me what you think about my list?
Probably hard limited by the CPU mate
the memory controller for that processor supports DDR3-1866 and DDR4-1866 RAM
but that 1866 number is with the doubled data rate
So is that the max number that the CPU can take?
Yeah, Sips explanation nailed it
@warm swift umm..
Ok that makes alot more sense. Im just frustrated on how the limit is that low.
$64 for a 250GB SSD? $1350 for an RX 3080?
don't worry, the A12 is so weak that it won't matter
you can stick 5100MHz RAM in a potato but it's still a potato
im buying that 250gb ssd to install windows on, and the other one the 2tb 860 evo ill download all my programs and games on
wait im sorry is that alot because i dont really understand?
im not being sarcastic, but i actually dont understand
It will work fine, but honestly, that GPU seems a bit overkill compared to the rest of the system
disagree
3080 with 5900X is a fine pairing
however
paying $1350 for a 3080 is not fine
it is a good paring i say too
just price is dumb yep
1 grand is an entire damn pc dude
im not buying it from pcpartpicker tho
True, a good pairing, but is it required is my thinking, with that price point - you could get much bigger M.2s with a 3070 for example
cheapest 250gb nvme drive with dram
thanks sips
not everyone needs that much storage
i have no idea what i'm doing with this hard drive
my friend gifted it to me
@earnest olive i live in egypt, so the stuff i have is pretty limited, i can tell you all the 250gb nvme ssd's that are available, there are like 2 or 3 so yeah π
i will never need anywhere near this much
well
it is gonna be hard to pick parts for you if i don't know pricing/availability
ik the pricing in egypt
Also, listen to sips, certainly knows waaay more than I do about PC parts and building xD
that is true Wideus
if i'm dropping 1k it better be a 6900XT
Yeah that's pretty much double the price of what that GPU should be
I did not hit her, i did not
is the 3080 sold out everywhere? is that why its so expensive?
It's new and shiny and on limited supply,
(lisa please don't make me regret this purchase)
There is, though a shop 15 miles from me that has one ON SHELF
GO
how much is it?
Β£950 though :c
ah
oop
so they're scalpers
Still, better than $1350
everyone scalps now
actually, not much better lol
hmm
I seen it, asked price, gave them abuse then left lol
ik 3080 is really expensive, but ill have to go with it im sorry
i think its supposed to be 800 or something
but yeah..
700
Do you need it this badly that you are willing to pay double for it though?
need more frames in minecraft bro
Give it a month, they'll return to normal
a month is optimistic
very optimisitc
nvidia themselves predict 3-4 more months
Only took 6 weeks for the 20 series to retturn to normal π
i'd expect the next year to be terribly priced
oo, didn''t know that bit
20 series didn't come out during a global stay-at-home pandemic
Exactly, it came out when people still had jobs and could afford them xD
double whammy of impacted logistics and higher demand
PSUs at an all time high, along with the 3600 and gpus
i'm lucky both of my jobs are still possible
however i am still a dependent so i do not qualify for stimulus checks

$1200 is a lot of pc money
I wonder what the deal on returning my parts will be... If they can't resupply them, they'll need to refund me the cost, right?
My motherboard was defective
If I can get money back for my 2070 Super, I'd fuggin lo
When it arrived i opened it and the inside of that little bad thingy was wet
i wish i had a gpu as decent as the 2070 super to coast on
i have been stuck on my temporary gpu for 5 months
rip sips
30 fps gaming 
Idek how to return it
the sad life continues
it's okay
This was nice to see
the little gtx 1060 tries her hardest
Here, at least your USB ports work xD
After it not turning on for 2 hours
was it still wet
one of my front usb ports stopped working after return window
No
ok nice
but i still have like 11 good usb ports so i could not care less
God i hope not
I got a spare GPU I can give you xD
that would have been very unforunate dom
@warm swift sorry it took long https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wRLGxc
the shipping cost will cost more than the gpu is worth probably
contact your seller for an rma
any ssd at that price is suspicious
was his budget 3000 bucks
I bought off newegg
mm yummy 650ti
i'm sure that will drive my 1440p165hz monitor perfectly
time to play AC valhalla on it
What should i write for βplease describe reason for returnβ
arrived wet
or something like that yeah
Hot rod it xD
just tell them basically
"arrived water damaged"
arrived soaked to the bone
@drifting garnet no worries, yeah um the samsung ones i put are the only ones available... π
increase fps from 4 to 6
i mean @earnest olive like without thinking about the pricing, is everything i choose good?
hard to say without knowing the choices..
that case looks terrible for airflow
otherwise looks fine if pricing is ignored
If i send this in now i can return it tmr right
Yeah it does
yeah psu looks fine
i think so dom
let me look for other cases
not sure
which are the best brands?
Ok
x570 aorus master is a complete waste of money for your use case
either way, send it back asap lol
oh and lian li isnt available
so i would go for a cheaper board
brand doesn't matter just look at individual products

Right folks, I'm going to watch some DBZ like the sad loser I am, peace out π
have fun
Ok, that will probably be fine then. I learned the sata drive I put isn't too good but the m.2 one is. The Samsung ones should be fine if that js all there is.
liking things doesn't make you a loser
my girl thinks me being a nerd is adorable

having absolutely no interests is probably worse
just gotta find the right people
yeah thank you tho for helping me
QWEEN
being a flat cardboard cutout is not good for you
keep her
Oh yeah, change it to B550 forgot about that.
she plays league with me
Do u guys think?
@earnest olive can i send you the boards that are available and you tell me which i should go for?
Bc i dont think
thinking yes
My mind is completely blank
it happens
i mean i heard that that aorus master is like the best one or something
It does happen
To be fair, I got my ex to watch all of dragon ball from start to finish with me, but we broke up xD
not always
Sometimes
@warm swift go for it
i want gf 
if i link my build can you guys tell me if I'm going to have a ram clearance issue? i've been trying to figure this out and no one seems to know for sure
What are the best sata ssds
aorus master is a good board sure but you don't need the features it offers
Gf would be awesome
I'm all good, more interested in fixing my PC than finding a woman, I got a cat... That's more than enough xDD
best ssd at what capacity
Like 1tb
cats be like dat
My cat sleeps on my chest xD
ok shane dawson
wow
I don''t know the reference, but I am sure you roasted me
a samsung is actually good value
the best price/performance 1tb sata ssd is samsung
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING
GIGABYTE X570 AORUS MASTER
right? imagine samsung being good value
b550 aorus elite goes hard
870 qvo is bad
@warm swift are there any b550 available?
lol
Yeah, I saw that and I was like why is it so cheap??
bad for what reason?
What is bad about it
Because it's a QVO drive, that's why
it's not like you can get very good from a sata ssd
Has half life expectancy then the other ones
