[muted sluice]

Bc u keep on saying to push it in do u have pegs on ur case?

[foggy hazel]

yes.

[muted sluice]

Size?

[hoary lichen]

My case has pegs

I just

Hit it back to place

[muted sluice]

See

@foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

let me get some numbers for last month

[muted sluice]

I mean is it a mid case

Or itx

Or something

Bc if u push it u have very strong fingers

[languid nimbus]

or you just have very weak ones

[muted sluice]

U hit it

In

[hoary lichen]

Mine takes hella force to put back in

🗿

[muted sluice]

Same

[foggy hazel]

of the 183 systems i assembled last month, 157 had front panel pulls, meaning, studs. Of those, zero of them got "hit" into place

those are the numbers i had to get.

[muted sluice]

U build PCs for a living. If udo that’s pretty cool @foggy hazel

[hoary lichen]

You a store owner or something?

Cool job

[foggy hazel]

no, i am just a freelance technician

[hoary lichen]

Damn

[foggy hazel]

and yes, you CAN "hit" it into place. but it is NOT a good idea

because there are plenty of cases on the market with weak studs

and those will break

[raw mist]

is https://www.memoryexpress.com/ an okay site to buy from???

[muted sluice]

Well the pegs aren’t that weak and won’t just break off with a simple hit

[hoary lichen]

Idk never used it

[foggy hazel]

depending on the case :)

[muted sluice]

Ok yea I suppose if the case is weak don’t hit it

[foggy hazel]

try the following next time you pull your front panel off: "roll" it back from the bottom or top of the case

you can normally just press it into place that way

[muted sluice]

Well we argued over how to put on a front panel for 10 minutes. MY DAY HAS BEEN REALLY PRODUCTIVE

[foggy hazel]

12 minutes

:P

[vagrant olive]

@muted sluice ur putting ur front panel on wrong

[muted sluice]

Nah it’s right

[vagrant olive]

lol kk

wait is an upgrade to Ryzen 7 and downgrade to 3060ti possible

or will it be more expensive

[deep skiff]

just get a $4 ebay windows key

[upper cobalt]

ebay keys don’t work 50% of the time

[ripe wedge]

RB30 code on CDKdeals.com, this was on the newegg stream so must be fine, its for windows keys @little osprey

it will make windows 10 pro for like $12

[near garden]

Cx750m psu I can price match for $89 ?

Is that a good deal ?

[last moat]

pushed my 1050ti core clocks up to 2.15 GHz and memory up to 4.2 GHz

[whole harbor]

i recon sell the 1050 ti for like $90

Then buy a 1650 super

For $170

[hollow grail]

I wouldnt tey it with current gpu market

[hollow grail]

I am legal

[idle hawk]

lmao

https://tenor.com/view/traffic-fbi-open-up-raid-gif-13450966

[earnest olive]

@idle hawk can you review my fortnite build then?

[idle hawk]

if its a potato i will give up

[earnest olive]

it's kinda budget

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DAOKOfan/saved/zrJ7XL

it says maplestory but i want it to run fortnite too

@vestal sonnet was he overclocking it at all

[ripe wedge]

its not enough

[idle hawk]

i hate you

[ripe wedge]

it needs rtx 3090s

[stoic island]

@earnest olive bro what is that loop so budget smh

where's the ekaio rgb blocks

[earnest olive]

sorry i ran out of money

[hollow grail]

Cheap loop

[stoic island]

where's the full gpu blocks

[hollow grail]

[stoic island]

dat keeb tho

[earnest olive]

i ran out of money because i needed so much storage for my epic fortnite gameplay clips

[stoic island]

@earnest olive what the hell are those SSDs thoo

[earnest olive]

so i used plastic straws as tubing and saliva as coolant

[stoic island]

btw sabrent rocket gonna be 16gb soon

[earnest olive]

they're for my 8K fortnite clips bro

[stoic island]

I mean what the hell is "angelbird"

[earnest olive]

@vestal sonnet too hard to say what the problem is without diagnosing it part by part tbh

@stoic island fattydove racing ssd's more attractive younger sister?

[stoic island]

LOL

[idle hawk]

that build isnt enough @earnest olive

[stoic island]

fr?

[idle hawk]

nope we need more power to get 1fps

[stoic island]

is it fattydove's higher capacity version?

[earnest olive]

cute siblings

[stoic island]

lol

damn

okay

[earnest olive]

no just joking cause of the names

fattydove and angelbird

[stoic island]

ah

[earnest olive]

@vestal sonnet cpu failure is extremely rare especially if not overclocked

[stoic island]

unless you've been watching Linus drop tips

[earnest olive]

try turning off, taking out 1 ram stick, clearing cmos, then try boot again

do they even make rgb water blocks for socket SP3? lol

[idle hawk]

how old is the board

and power supply

[earnest olive]

okay it seems that EK's sTR4 water blocks are also compatible with socket SP3

neat

[stoic island]

huh

@earnest olive are they the same size?

chip wise

[earnest olive]

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-velocity-str4-nickel-plexi

[hollow grail]

I love angelbirds looks tbh

[earnest olive]

idk it lists compatibility

[stoic island]

o damn

[hollow grail]

If that was like

Solid metal

Its like how im a fan of the asenno logo cause it looks like dome dumb assassins creed thing lol

[stoic island]

hm

[rocky wind]

Is this a good build

[upper cobalt]

not a 2080 ti

why do you even need 4 fans too

[rocky wind]

see i would get a rog 3080 but they are out of stock

[foggy hazel]

@vestal sonnet push the latch with a toothpick

[upper cobalt]

there are already 2 on the radiator

[rocky wind]

yea i know

going to replace them for the rgb ones

[upper cobalt]

it’s a nice build

if your going for all corsair why not go for a corsair crystal case?

[rocky wind]

i was looking at those

[vagrant olive]

275r airflow strong case

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Mid-Tower-ATX-Cases/275R-Airflow-Tempered-Glass-Mid-Tower-Gaming-Case/p/CC-9011181-WW

[upper cobalt]

yeah or an airflow case

[vagrant olive]

he do be using a 3080 doe

them some hot bois

[upper cobalt]

rx 6800 grr

i like the look of the 6000 series cards better

[vagrant olive]

im a big fan of the 30 series founders edition design

idk the 6000 cards just look

idk i just dont vibe with it

[upper cobalt]

welp i’m an amd fanboy

could be that

[earnest olive]

@hollow grail @stoic island https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DAOKOfan/saved/zrJ7XL is this better

[hollow grail]

yes

[earnest olive]

did he turn on any auto overclocking features in the bios? like game boost from msi?

i know game boost puts an absurd amount of voltage through the cpu

[stoic island]

@earnest olive ssd not good enough

[earnest olive]

😦

[late helm]

I bought a SAS Hard drive by mistake , want to use it as a 3nd HD will it work well with an adaptor in my pc ?

anyone ????

[upper cobalt]

3nd

[late helm]

yes as a 3rd backup hard drive

[upper cobalt]

you want to use it as an external drive?

[late helm]

no inturnal

[upper cobalt]

oh yeah it should work fine

i don’t see why it wouldn’t

[late helm]

thank you

waiting now for the adaptor to be delivered

[languid cedar]

is a GTX 950m better than a NVidia GTX 640

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/IronIsKing/saved/#view=XdzBjX booild

[gusty mica]

soon...

[fossil halo]

ayo guys

um

is it normal for if i have 5 fans connected to an rgb connector

to show up as only one sys fan in bios

someone

pls

like

it only connects to the mobo in one spot

like a box

to which i connected 5 fans

and i plugged the thing into the sys fan header on the mobo

[strange fiber]

Making my first computer, My list so far:
Already have a case
Already have a power supply
Already have SSD
Already have a HDD
Still gonna be using my 980ti but might save up for something better
Aorus X570 AORUS ELITE (ordered)
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (haven't ordered yet)
Corsair CMK16GX4M2D3000C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (haven't ordered yet)

Do you guys got any suggestions?

[stoic island]

Try Crucial Ballistix 3600c16 for the ram

[idle hawk]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086W54JGN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_RYdZFb5ZTXWC1

Does anyone know if this will for the the 3080

[stoic island]

@idle hawk it's pcie 3.0 so no

boards will get screwy with you

[idle hawk]

I thought a z390 doesn't support pice 4

[stoic island]

I know it doesn't saturate pcie 4.0 lanes, it's software that gets screwy once you get pcie 3.0 extender whatever it's called

Dunno about z390

but it's a issue on B550/x570 with extenders

[idle hawk]

I'm using a z390 and a 3080 lol

[stoic island]

what the hell was it even called

pcie riser

that's it

[stoic island]

yea

[idle hawk]

So would it work?

[stoic island]

Vert GPU on B550/X570 have issues with PCIe 3.0 risers

dunno about on z390

[idle hawk]

Lol I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THEN ANSWERS

[stoic island]

the answer is dunno about z390, pcie 3.0 risers get iffy with PCIe 4.0 boards

[idle hawk]

https://c.tenor.com/Zpoocq2Qz7EAAAAM/question-cell.gif

[stoic island]

you don't get answers >:D

[idle hawk]

Rip

https://c.tenor.com/KGLvqGqI1pMAAAAM/goku-kaioken.gif

But seriously do you think it'll cause an issue? @stoic island

[foggy hazel]

its a "do at your own risk" thing @idle hawk

[idle hawk]

Hmm

What's ur opinion on it naed

I've seen it for a 3060 ti

Does the 3060 ti use pcie 3.0 or 4.0

[ripe wedge]

pcie gen 4 rn for gpus isnt a huge deal

rn

[manic tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/z3H668 how does my first build look?

[thorny tusk]

It looks good

[foggy hazel]

@idle hawk what is your actual worry?

[thorny tusk]

You could save a little with a small er power supply

[idle hawk]

If the bracket can support big chungus

[manic tapir]

i plan on upgrading later when prices drop

[foggy hazel]

in theory, technically, yes @idle hawk.

it all depends on the specific bracket

[idle hawk]

How do go about vertical mounting it on a d500 mesh case

Cooler master

Naed?

[near garden]

Ok I just got a 750 watt psu for the 3060ti

[foggy hazel]

depends on the bracket

[vagrant olive]

@near garden 750 should be more thane nough for a 3060 ti

i would say 600 or 650w would also do fine

[near garden]

Ah someone said you need 750

[vagrant olive]

what cpu?

[foggy hazel]

https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cdn.coolermaster.com/assets/1011/td500m_06_versatile_cooling-imageleftorright.png <- have a look there @idle hawk

[vagrant olive]

ew why is the logo just slapped on so badly to the front

its not even centered

[near garden]

Who

[idle hawk]

@foggy hazel I'ma risk it

[stoic island]

pretty sure it's centered

@vagrant olive prob just the perspective of the photo

[idle hawk]

I'm slowly losing my mind I realized all the back plates for the gpu comes off so it can be vertical mounted

[tame hazel]

when building a custom gaming PC do you put the PSU in last or first?

[stoic island]

your choice

[vagrant olive]

usually somewhere in the middle

bc its often used alongside antistatic wristbands

[tame hazel]

to ground oneself?

[vagrant olive]

yeah

[idle hawk]

Make sure to follow the verges guide to building a pc

JK JK

[vagrant olive]

oh true true

i meant

livestrong bracelets

[tame hazel]

just asking because my 1600 Watt power supply has not come in yet

[idle hawk]

Lol

1600w

[vagrant olive]

jesus

[idle hawk]

Jesus

Lmaoo

You owe me a soda

[vagrant olive]

mans goin dual 3090s or smt

[foggy hazel]

its not the backplate of the GPU, its the bracket section for the case that comes out and gets replaced

[tame hazel]

I plan on playing minecraft at 720P with ray tracing on

[vagrant olive]

what gpu

[idle hawk]

That's what I meant

I forget to realize those come to mount it

I'm going to be new at vertical mounting

I'ma angle it so the display still shows

[light halo]

is the asus rog strix b450-f gaming mobo good for a ryzen 7 3700x

[foggy hazel]

if buying new, might as well go b550

[severe bloom]

Yes, my wife is using that board with a 2700x and just bought a 5800x to upgrade again

[foggy hazel]

@severe bloom have they released the beta bios for that to actually work yet?

[severe bloom]

https://videocardz.com/newz/these-amd-400-and-500-series-motherboards-already-support-ryzen-5000-zen3-cpus yes

[light halo]

because in looking at that b450 board and the b550 boards, the only real differences im noticing is that the b550 supports pcie4.0 which i dont think I really even need

[foggy hazel]

have you actually checked their site @severe bloom ?

[stoic island]

Recently the Asrock bios updates for Zen 3 got rolled back (poofed)

so do check for Asus

[severe bloom]

Its not on the site but theres a link to the working bios on the article

[foggy hazel]

because videocardz is not exactly known for caring all that much about being right/true

[severe bloom]

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_STRIX_B450_F_GAMING/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING-ASUS-4001.ZIP considering thats from asus I would trust it

[foggy hazel]

also, please, do NOT trust a linked source. because you dont know if there is a warning posted with it by asus

remember, its a beta bios for a reason

[stoic island]

Aka. Don't take things out of context.

Check the context (From Asus' end)

[severe bloom]

Yeah they are internal beta bioses and there are multiple articles/reddit posts as well about them, sure its use at your own risk and she is and its working fine for her.

[foggy hazel]

good :)

[severe bloom]

My b550 tomahawk is on a beta bios for 5k series support as well and its been fine. Think the boards placement of the cmos reset is really really really really bad and I now want to swap it out for something with a button on the back lol

[foggy hazel]

meh

[severe bloom]

Great board otherwise and I usually avoid msi

[foggy hazel]

consider this: how much are you really going to be fiddling with it?

[severe bloom]

I'm a tinkerer, a lot lol

[foggy hazel]

wire a button up then

takes all of 5 seconds to do

heck, move your reset button on the case to if it you want

[severe bloom]

Its right under the main pcie slot and requires a jumper, not a button

[foggy hazel]

and how does a jumper work, if not exactly like a button

[severe bloom]

Theres no room to make a button under a 3090 lol

[foggy hazel]

plenty of room, i didnt say you had to place the button there

[severe bloom]

Lol I'm telling you there is NO clearance to put anything under the card

[foggy hazel]

unless the cards fills out the "space" between the top of the pci-e slot and the pcb itself, there is space

[severe bloom]

No there is not

[vagrant olive]

what am i looking at

[foggy hazel]

from my pov, that is plenty of space. If that is not the case from yours, well, that is your take :)

[severe bloom]

The gap between the bottom of the 3090 and the battery jumper area for cmos reset, I just missed the jumper in the pic

[vagrant olive]

ah

[foggy hazel]

you didnt miss them, they are in the shot

[open peak]

Quick question, how worried should I be about static build up if I'm building on carpet. Like as long as I'm not wearing socks and I touch the power supply before handling anything I really shouldn't be worried right?

[vagrant olive]

dang the verge pc guide was right, people do need tables....

[open peak]

I mean not literally on the ground lmao

As in just the floor is carpet

[vagrant olive]

if u have a table

please just use a table

[open peak]

I have a table lmao

[vagrant olive]

then use a table.

[open peak]

I was referring to static build up from walking around on the carpet

[vagrant olive]

oh i see

as long as u have antistatic protection its fine

[glacial umbra]

all my homies building on the carpet floor

[sudden jolt]

That’s me right now

😑

Also what is the PERIF on the PSU for?

[foggy hazel]

which model are you asking about @sudden jolt ?

[sudden jolt]

On my EVGA 650w PSU there is a slot labeled PERIF and it comes with a matching cable labeled PERIF that fits perfectly with the slot on the PSU . I connected the two and the cable has 3 connections on it. Now are they used for is my question.

[foggy hazel]

iirc, evga makes more than 1 650w model, so again, which model?

[sudden jolt]

650w GT Supernova 80+ Gold

[foggy hazel]

that cable the one you asking about?

[sudden jolt]

Why yes

😂

[foggy hazel]

thats molex

the old standard for HDD/ODD and other peripherals like it, from before we started using sata power cables :)

[sudden jolt]

Ok so do nothing with that ?❔❓

[foggy hazel]

so, if you dont have anything that actually uses molex connectors, you dont need it plugged :)

[sudden jolt]

I have a 2tb HDD

[foggy hazel]

the reason i needed the specific model, is that different models might have different things labeled perif :)

[sudden jolt]

But have that connected to a SATA port on my PSU

[foggy hazel]

aye

because as i said previously, we have moved to use sata power for drives now :)

[sudden jolt]

Ok

Also how do you install drivers if you don’t have an optical drive

Just wondering since I am actually talking to someone that knows what they are doing

[vagrant olive]

optical drives are old

[sudden jolt]

Ik

Wait am a Regular now⁉️

That’s weird

[foggy hazel]

USB sticks

[fossil halo]

guys

[foggy hazel]

you have talked enough @sudden jolt

its how the level system works :)

[vagrant olive]

thats how you install windows too

[fossil halo]

how much sotrage do u need

for

isntall windows

on thumb drive

[foggy hazel]

8 gig

[fossil halo]

like

[vagrant olive]

like 8 gigs i think

[sudden jolt]

Just kinda happened no nothing

[fossil halo]

all of 8gig

or 7.44 gig ok

[vagrant olive]

i dont believe so but

the drive should be completely blank before you install windows onto it

[fossil halo]

yea

it is

[vagrant olive]

kk

[summer pasture]

Do you have a 7.44 gig thumbdrive?

[foggy hazel]

a 8gig on the label is enough @fossil halo

[fossil halo]

yea like i thiought that it must be a 8 gig

if that is what shows up

[foggy hazel]

that is fine

[vagrant olive]

thats enough spcae

[summer pasture]

oh

[vagrant olive]

dw

[fossil halo]

poggers

aight

lets get some windows going then

[summer pasture]

I was joking but ight

[foggy hazel]

remember, run the media creation tool (or similar tool)

dont just copy the iso over

[fossil halo]

how

to do

pls link a video or smth

[foggy hazel]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

click that button and save to your desktop

then run that

[fossil halo]

run it on my laptop?

or the pc

@foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

whichever one has windows installed

[fossil halo]

so i run it on the working one

[foggy hazel]

yes

[fossil halo]

basically im moving from a laptop to a desktop i just built

ok

[vagrant olive]

yes

[fossil halo]

wait how do u change where it saves

it automatically is saving on my laptop not the thumb drive

[foggy hazel]

that is fine

it is NOT supposed to be going to the thumbdrive

[fossil halo]

oh ok

[vagrant olive]

i forget does it download as a zip first?

[foggy hazel]

no

[vagrant olive]

oh

[foggy hazel]

exe

[fossil halo]

like i tried copying it to my usb

[vagrant olive]

ohh right

you

run the exe

[foggy hazel]

dont @fossil halo

[fossil halo]

ok

ill j run it

[vagrant olive]

no what you do is

run the exe

[foggy hazel]

just please do what you have been told :)

[vagrant olive]

and just

do what it says

that advice is applicable to any exe file you wil ever encounter

[foggy hazel]

@vagrant olive that is very bad advice thou

[vagrant olive]

i said what i said

[fossil halo]

yes

im doing it rn

[foggy hazel]

because that is one 100% certain way of getting malware installed :)

[vagrant olive]

malware just builds your pc's immunity to viruses

[fossil halo]

yes i learnt that the hard way

downlaoded some drm removal thing for ebooks

[vagrant olive]

bru]

[vagrant olive]

yes

[fossil halo]

this is correct right

[vagrant olive]

then select usb

[fossil halo]

ok

should i do x64 or x32

i never really knew the diference

[foggy hazel]

x64

[fossil halo]

ok

[foggy hazel]

do you care about the difference?

[fossil halo]

usb flash drive right

tf is iso

[vagrant olive]

yes

[foggy hazel]

correct

[vagrant olive]

it doesnt matter

i say that bc i dont know waht iso si

is

[fossil halo]

ok

im downloading

epic

[foggy hazel]

iso = the format that the installer comes prepackaged in.

[fossil halo]

oh

it said something about a dvd

idk where my dvd drive is

[foggy hazel]

dont worry

[vagrant olive]

you dont need a dvd

[fossil halo]

aight

[foggy hazel]

just let it do its thing

[fossil halo]

sorry im so dumb m friend was telling me all like oh if u dont do it right it takes forever

[vagrant olive]

np

[fossil halo]

first pc build lmfao

[vagrant olive]

ah

[fossil halo]

its in build pics

[vagrant olive]

looks nice

i beg of you though

once ur all set up with windows

get whatever rgb software ur ram uses and set it to white

[fossil halo]

yes i will sync the rgb

yea

lfao

lmfao*

um its still showing progress 0% on the installer

how long should it take

[hollow grail]

it takes a while

[fossil halo]

oh aight

[hollow grail]

the iso is around uhhh

5.5gb

then it needs to unpack it onto the usb

[vagrant olive]

i had to do what ur doing about like uhh

a few months ago

[fossil halo]

wait can i pause it i think im on a slow wifi network

[vagrant olive]

and i rmeember it taking about 10-20 minutes

[fossil halo]

if i just change the wifi network will it corrupt

[vagrant olive]

i dont think wifi makes a difference

its not downloading, just unpacking

[foggy hazel]

there are no stupid questions, only silly answers

[fossil halo]

gotit

[hollow grail]

:))

[fossil halo]

pc sounds like that sound when ur in a plane

[foggy hazel]

the download will go at whatever speed your internet connection is. generally, that is way way slower than your wifi connection.

[acoustic granite]

@plucky fossil beep boop

[foggy hazel]

so nothing to worry about

[fossil halo]

like that muted white noise

[plucky fossil]

@acoustic granite boop bop

[wraith oasis]

Hey can someone help me find a MONITER

I’m new to this stuff and I need help on which ones are good

Under 400

[fossil halo]

wow

bi budget

big*

what are ur requirements

ultrawide 144hz etx

etc

i am by no means a monitor professional just sayin

im prob gonna look something up on amazon and link it here

[wraith oasis]

I’m not sure

But someone said it depends on the pc

[fossil halo]

wdym

no

[wraith oasis]

And someone gave me a list

[fossil halo]

tf

[fossil halo]

monitor does not depend on pc

[wraith oasis]

Graphics card

Or aim like that

Idk

[fossil halo]

that ssd is kinda lame

but yea

so wait

do u already have a pc?

im so confused

[wraith oasis]

Can I upgrade anything?

No

[fossil halo]

wait so then the monitor is not relevant

[wraith oasis]

I’m have a Xbox 😑

[fossil halo]

in this situation

[wraith oasis]

But I’m getting that pc so I need a MONITER

[fossil halo]

any monitor will do just fine

as long as u have the right cable

idk about like a frikin crt

but lke

u get my point

[wraith oasis]

Ye

[fossil halo]

that gpu in particualr

[foggy hazel]

@wraith oasis there is a actual pcpartpicker url that you can share instead

[fossil halo]

iirc has 3 displayports and 1 hdmi

[wraith oasis]

Wym I have no clue what that stuff means

[fossil halo]

so all u need is a monitor with lets say a hdmi in then u just get a hdmi to hdmi or a displayport to hdmi

[foggy hazel]

the place you posted those parts from

[fossil halo]

that website

is called pcpartpicekr

or pcpp

basically

u can share a link

[wraith oasis]

Ya ik but when I do that they say they can’t see the parts

[fossil halo]

that we can open to see ur parts list

no

thats bc

[wraith oasis]

Hold on

[fossil halo]

u dont pase the link

in the address bar

it generates a link

[foggy hazel]

it looks something like that

[fossil halo]

yessir

hes on mobile

so might be different

[foggy hazel]

i know :)

hence the "something like that"

[fossil halo]

but yea

my windows thing is like

53% done

it finished 100% of like i think downloading

now its creating the media

[foggy hazel]

aye, just give it time :)

[wraith oasis]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/KBMRecord/account/general/

Will this work

I’m not sure

I’m really bad 🌝

[wraith oasis]

See that’s what I mean

It never works 🥲

[foggy hazel]

[wraith oasis]

Alr imma head out

✌️

[fossil halo]

yea lmfao

[wraith oasis]

Is that a good budget?

[little osprey]

Yeahg

u want cool looks?

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey remember, that is with monitor included

[wraith oasis]

Dosent matter just run wells

[fossil halo]

ayo

do u have ethernet

[wraith oasis]

No it’s not

[fossil halo]

or do u need wifi

[foggy hazel]

ah, so 1500 without monitor? what about the rest?

keyboard/mouse etc?

[fossil halo]

that is a lot of money tho

[wraith oasis]

1500 for pc

[fossil halo]

lot of freedon

[wraith oasis]

And the rest is gifts

Like birthday Christmas

My bday in February and getting other stuff

Like keyboard, mouse MONITER etc

I’m going to try and find out how to set up Ethernet and learn about it but ya I will try

But if not definitely a wired WiFi connection

[little osprey]

whats a liquid freezer 2 equivalent again

out of stock currently

[little osprey]

Do you have an ethernet switch

and 2nd floor

[wraith oasis]

Don’t know what that is 🥲

[little osprey]

you plug ethernet cable in and it splits it up into 4

[fossil halo]

no

so basicall

do u have a router near ur desk

where u will be putting the desktop

[wraith oasis]

Welp we’re moving into a new house after Christmas

[fossil halo]

oof

[wraith oasis]

So I’m not sure yet

[fossil halo]

i mean wifi card is easy

to add

[little osprey]

is the house bought

[fossil halo]

so doesnt really matter

[little osprey]

wifi bad

[fossil halo]

jsut add a wifi card anyway tho

[little osprey]

wifi bad tho

[fossil halo]

its not the worst thing ever

[wraith oasis]

Hmmm

[fossil halo]

for gaming and streaming unless ur literally like

[little osprey]

having somebody run ethernet good

[fossil halo]

ninja idk

[wraith oasis]

Lol

[fossil halo]

i dont think it will make a difference

[little osprey]

whats ur internet speeds

[wraith oasis]

Idk I don’t pay the bill

Or read any of that

But I can find out

[little osprey]

no like just go on a wifi speedtest

type it into google

[wraith oasis]

Ok

What’s a good score?

[little osprey]

200mbps or higher

on download

[wraith oasis]

Okay

[coarse cove]

WiFi isn't as bad as it's claimed, and it gets faster every year

[little osprey]

Ethernet supreior

superior

Always

[coarse cove]

it's the same with wireless peripherals, the speed differences are tiny now

[fossil halo]

yea

tru

[little osprey]

wireless peripherals and wifi are far dif

[coarse cove]

yes

[fossil halo]

bc wifi long range

or longer*

[wraith oasis]

Did u make a list?

[fossil halo]

im making

rn

[wraith oasis]

Thanks

[fossil halo]

r7 3700x 3070

[little osprey]

ew

[wraith oasis]

Brb @ me if u need me

[fossil halo]

yea

wait

is modular psu that important

i jsut built my first pc today

and like

mine is non modular and i dont think it made a huge difference

[wraith oasis]

Will ur internet run faster if it’s wired to ur pc?

[fossil halo]

yes

much much faster

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n8xDJf

[coarse cove]

modular PSUs allow you to remove unused cables

It keeps it tidier

[wraith oasis]

Cuz I’m on my phone and I’m not wired and it was about 110

[fossil halo]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MVLvbh

i made a ryzen

mando made an intel one

[wraith oasis]

Is that good?

What’s the difference

[fossil halo]

ryzen is better

LMAO jk

[little osprey]

10700k vs 3700x?

[fossil halo]

yea

[little osprey]

no lol

[fossil halo]

tru

actually

[little osprey]

same price as 3700x

[fossil halo]

i think

[wraith oasis]

So which one should I make

[fossil halo]

[little osprey]

but a 9900k equivalent

[fossil halo]

[fossil halo]

and my nvme as #2

right

[vagrant olive]

yes

[fossil halo]

ok

jsut making sure

[vagrant olive]

yea np

[little osprey]

it shouldn't be glued to the io shield

or whack the io shield out

[vagrant olive]

doesnt the i/o shield come out like

separately?

from the motherboard

[little osprey]

yes

[vagrant olive]

like u take off the mobo first and then the io shield

[little osprey]

some built in tho

stupid

[fossil halo]

aight bois

[vagrant olive]

oh

rad

[fossil halo]

lets see if it works

[vagrant olive]

[median basin]

I can’t pull it out

[fossil halo]

AYYYYY

[vagrant olive]

[fossil halo]

I GOT WINDOWS SETPU SCREEN POGGIES

[vagrant olive]

i am pogging

[fossil halo]

[fossil halo]

wait

yo

its asking me

which type of installation do you want

upgrade or custom

which one do i do

wait nvm

got it

[median basin]

Yes

[neat reef]

hello, i am reading that it is recommended to use two seperate PCIe cables per GPU slot

my PSU only has two 6+2 slots, doesn't the CPU require one? so don't i need 3 6+2 slots?

[little osprey]

Your PSU would have 8 slots

some of the cables should be 8 slot to 6+2

CPU should jsut take a regular 8 pin to 8 pin

[neat reef]

yeh but you need to use seperate cables

so ill have one 8 pin slot left on my PSU after plugging in the CPU

but this pic looks like i need two just for the GPU

[foggy hazel]

@neat reef which specific psu model and which specific GPU model are you asking about?

[neat reef]

RTX 3080 TUF OC.. it has two 8 pin connectors

and the thermaltake sp-850M

thats the back of the PSU

the PSU does have one of the built in 8 pin connectors, maybe thats the one for CPU? so then id have the two 8 pins left over for the GPU

[foggy hazel]

aye, you have all you need and then some on that one

[neat reef]

oh it is, it says CPU right on it

[foggy hazel]

aye :)

[neat reef]

whats the black ones for?

the MOLEX / SATA / FDD connectores

[foggy hazel]

molex/fdd = old harddrive connector and floppy drive connector

sata = sata power connector (which is only used IF you have a non-m.2 drive :) )

[neat reef]

oh ok, thanks

my current PSU is only 600 watt so this is my old one, but i need the extra wattage for the new GPU, it had an annoying loud fan but hopefully its bearable with the new case as well

[little osprey]

@neat reef so is your graphics card a 8+6 or 6+2

[neat reef]

2x 6+2

the new one is

i dont have it yet

current one is 8+6 though

i read you can melt the cable if you use one cable for two 6+2

[hasty gyro]

Do you think I’d have a better gaming experience with 1440p 144hz? Or 4K 60hz? Which would look better?

[neat reef]

if you are already used to using 144hz then 60hz will always look worse, if you've never used 144hz then 4K 60hz won't seem bad

[hasty gyro]

I’ve never used 144hz before, I have used 75hz thoug

[balmy patio]

1440p 144hz is honestly the sweet spot

[vagrant olive]

the most ive used is 60hz

[balmy patio]

i’ve tried it myself and i love it

[vagrant olive]

1080 seems fine to me tbh

[neat reef]

a problem with using 144hz is that it raises your standards, so 60hz or even 60 fps will look bad always

[vagrant olive]

idk is 4k like

insaaaaaaane

[hasty gyro]

I’m only wondering cuz 1440p 144hz monitors can be much more expensive than 4K 60 hz ones

[balmy patio]

4k is like more detail

[hasty gyro]

Yeah

Idk it’s a thing I’m conflicted with

[neat reef]

you can tell the difference of 4K a lot in text and game HUD's

[hasty gyro]

I’ve found good budget 1440p 144hz monitors but they’re like 450cad

[balmy patio]

if you’re looking for a nice experience you should do 1440p 144hz

[hasty gyro]

I really only care about high detailed games tbh

[balmy patio]

if you’re looking for detail to 4k60hz

[neat reef]

if you aren't into games like overwatch and csgo then id stick with 60hz

just to get 4K

[hasty gyro]

Oh okay

[vagrant olive]

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C24G1A-Frameless-1920x1080-adjustable/dp/B08D3Y5PFZ

[balmy patio]

and finally idk why’d you do this but if you want extra smooth, go 1080p240hz

[vagrant olive]

i got this monitor kinda on a whim bc the specs and price was insane

[hasty gyro]

Lol some people out here are like “4K AND 144hz”

[vagrant olive]

hopefully its sitll good

[balmy patio]

lmao 4k and 144hz

[fossil halo]

gutys

[balmy patio]

sheesh that’s big money

[fossil halo]

I have this weird light

thats flashing

[hasty gyro]

Yeah lmfaoooooo

[vagrant olive]

oh boy

[hasty gyro]

Add in ultra wide

[fossil halo]

underneath my m.2ssd

[true wolf]

In all fairness, that's a possibility even if it is pricey.

[hasty gyro]

+1500

[fossil halo]

its like this green light

and its kidna like erratically flashing

[hasty gyro]

Send a pic/video?

[neat reef]

whats your motherboard

[balmy patio]

yeah and check your manual to see if there’s something about it

[vagrant olive]

^

[true wolf]

Or just let us know what Mobo it is.

[vagrant olive]

it can mean different things on different mobos

so like

[hasty gyro]

Yeah true

[vagrant olive]

ur manual probably has a guide

[fossil halo]

b550m ds3h

[hasty gyro]

Make sure you read through it it’ll be helpful

[fossil halo]

from gigabyte

i did

[neat reef]

just search on google "[name of mobo] m.2 ssd green light flashing"

[hasty gyro]

Did it say anything

[balmy patio]

lmao there’s most likely a forum on it

[hasty gyro]

Hold on

[balmy patio]

or a reddit post

[hasty gyro]

Does your pc post at all?

[vagrant olive]

he was able to use

the windows installation tool

[hasty gyro]

And do you have multiple m.2’s?

[fossil halo]

wait

no

yea

im on the pc right now

like everything

[vagrant olive]

oh

poggers

[fossil halo]

is running fine

and

[vagrant olive]

but the light

[fossil halo]

no the light is actualy

on the ssd i think

now that i look at it closer

[hasty gyro]

Is your pc detecting it?

[fossil halo]

yea

everything is working fine

its a silicon power a60

[hasty gyro]

Hmmm

[fossil halo]

512 gb

[hasty gyro]

Yeah I got nothing, leave it up to other people
