What parts would be good for my PowerColor Red devil rx 5700xt? I used a the pcbuilder website and then I asked you guys if what it recommended would work and you said no it sucks lol so I just want a good idea of what parts to get (budget is (1000-1200 not including gpu)
severe axle
@grim glen I'd upgrade the case
grim glen
that's what I was thinking because NZXT cases get hella dirty
severe axle
also low airflow
grim glen
from what I've heard
the airflow isn't that bad if your system doesn't run too hot to begin with
but I know what you mean
severe axle
low airflow -> higher gpu temps -> lower clocks because of the boost algorithm
wary tundra
@signal drift what are the specs of your pc?
grim glen
Do you have any case reccomendations?
little osprey
you can get better airflow performing cases for cheaper i reckon
275r is hardly what i call perforated.
neo air is a viable option
as well as montech x1 but beware of the quality of the product
would recommend a p360a but that's overpriced right now
nr600 is also a good route if youre willing to pay for some extra fans. stock config on that one is adequate but a lot better with some p12's
grim glen
the only reason I bought the nzxt case is that I figured my system wouldnt be too hot and it was on sale
actually all the stuff i bought was on sale
little osprey
sweet
not to sweet on the airflow side of things
the closed front panel renders any intake fans with very low thermal performance
as theres no direct path of air
grim glen
The case has no intake fans
little osprey
i suppose if you with a negative air pressure fan config you'll benefit
grim glen
its an negative pressure system
but I just HATE how dirty the case gets
I gotta clean it out every two-three weeks
vagrant olive

grim glen
anyways after the case what should come next?
little osprey
are you deciding an upgrade plan ?
grim glen
?

Anyone's hdd decided to go missing before?
Just tried putting in my SSD into an m.2 slot, but once I turn my pc back on, one of my hdds has a question mark next to it
verbal quarry
@little osprey did you ever get your questioned answered?
verbal quarry
Anyone's hdd decided to go missing before?
i dont remember how to do it but you can find it on yt
little osprey
Just tried putting in my SSD into an m.2 slot, but once I turn my pc back on, on...
some mobos share bandwidth between an m.2 and a sata# port. check your motherboard for that information.
as in if the m.2 slot is occupied it will render some sata ports disabled.
little osprey
best of luck
vagrant gulch
best of luck
Lmao yep that was it. Ugh.
Either I have to update my bios or do a fresh install with the new ssd.
balmy patio
was your question answered?
little osprey
Either I have to update my bios or do a fresh install with the new ssd.
hm does it render all sata ports offline ?
or can you just simply relocate the sata data connector do a different port
it's not like the hdd got corrupted. just the sata port was rendered useless because of the m.2 slot being in use
you should be able to just plug the sata data into another sata slot on your motherboard and you should be fine. @vagrant gulch
vagrant gulch
It only rendered the second sata port. At first I thought it was the hdd, but yea it was fine, still could hear it move.
I have two hdds, maybe because of the cord I used with the both hdds? my psu is fully modular and was using the same cord that had another sata connector within it.
Maybe that could've been the problem? I'm not sure, this is just a guess. @little osprey
little osprey
ok
vagrant olive
do you want it intel or is amd also ok
little osprey
both are fine I would prefer intel tho
vagrant olive
kk
little osprey
can u do it with intel and amd?
like one intel
and another amd
so I can compare
vagrant olive
yeah sure
little osprey
ty
vagrant olive
if i do an amd one i will be putting in a zen 3 processor tho so youll either have to wait a while to buy the part or just be lucky
little osprey
ok
little osprey
I have two hdds, maybe because of the cord I used with the both hdds? my psu is ...
ah i suppose you mean the psu cable having two sata power connectors. that really shouldn't be an issue as that is sata power not sata data. if you do have two hdd's just plug them into the sata data ports on your motherboard that can still be used with the m.2 ssd. should all appear. if not you might need to initialize the drive in windows disk manager. if you don't have an os installed on the m.2 ssd it won't boot from it. only from wherever the os is installed. (assuming thats what it's set up as in bios)

you can go 10400F along with a 3070 if this is for gaming.
10400F is 2.1 GHZ LMAOAOOA
yet performs similar to the 3600 ?
nvm 2.9GHZ
still bad tho
comparing clock speeds on different architectures is stupid
how is it bad.
lyric thistle
Lol
lyric thistle
Boost is all that matters
little osprey
I dont even play all those games u sending pics of
even gamers nexus compared the two cpus and 10400 rivaled the 3600 in single core performance at a much cheaper price
little osprey
I dont even play all those games u sending pics of
that doesnt take away the fact that it will still perform as well as the 3600 in the games u do play
besides a 3070 is much more powerful than the 2060 you put in the build
10600K is fine tho....
but why go that route when you can go 10400f and spend a bit more on a powerful gpu ? easily delivering higher fps counts and frame times ?
if I get a 3070 I would get this list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8xGWfP

little osprey
corsair fans
does it have to be corsair ??
little osprey
does it have to be corsair ??
i would prefer -_-
how come ?
how big of a temperature difference is there between the corsair LL120 and ML120 RGB case fans
@obsidian junco very little info on the psu. go for earthwatts 750. dont know much about oloy ram but i reckon the vulcan kit is the same price with better memory ic
obsidian junco
Is my part list overkill for 1440p 144hz
little osprey
correct me if im wrong
little osprey
how big of a temperature difference is there between the corsair LL120 and ML120...
neither of those fans are good
little osprey
how come ?
whats the best corsair fan?
obsidian junco
With maxed out graphics
little osprey
but why does it have to be corsair ?
you do realize they make horrible fans
lmao
with low rated bearings, poor led count, and impeding frame thickness
that just ruins the blade design and diameter even more
not to mention the proprietary rgb controllers that bring the cost up even more
obsidian junco
The Vulcan z kit?
little osprey
vulcan z 3200 ^
give me a good RGB fan then
gelid stella and enermax squa
7usd/fan
wait if I get a corsair fan do I need to buy a rgb controller?
yes..?
bruh
that should be included
i hope now youre realizing how bad LL120's really are
ok
when you get the 2 pack and 3 pack it comes with the RGB hub
summer pasture
Is 3060 ti overkill for 1080p?
little osprey
when you get the 2 pack and 3 pack it comes with the RGB hub
thats not to justify its absurd pricing
little osprey
Is 3060 ti overkill for 1080p?
depends on the game too
great price/perf on the 3060ti
best 400 usd msrp card in the market right now
if you have the money for it go for it.
summer pasture
Ight definitely do
little osprey
someone give me an exact name of a actual good RGB fan
considering 5700xt/5600xt prices are unstable right now
little osprey
someone give me an exact name of a actual good RGB fan
gelid stella
enermax squa. those are exact names
enermax squa looks ass
gelid stella ?
and its so expensive
lemme see
wait
its not on part picker
they objectively have better rgb than the LL120's
because of their higher led count
ripe wedge
scary non known brand
little osprey
hm
little osprey
scary non known brand
gelid is a known brand ?
little osprey
scary non known brand
EXACTLY
would you like a comparison of LL120 vs Gelid stella ?
ripe wedge
I would rather buy coolermaster rgb fans
ripe wedge
eh cheapish
little osprey
and the rating of course
only thing about the corsair fans that i looked at them for is im going with corsair ram and an asus motherboard and the RGB would all run through icue
what is the best corsair fan could someone tell me
ripe wedge
ll120 iirc
little osprey
i thought it was QL120
if noctua made good looking RGB fans that would be a dream
im not gonna tell u what not to buy.
but ll120's are poor fans
little osprey
55 usd for 3 fans ?
little osprey
im not gonna tell u what not to buy.
bruh I am interested in knowing like bruh
gelid stella is 7usd/fan
🙄
Gelid Stellas use ball bearings which is rated at 100k mttf @ 40c
and have a higher led count than LL120's
im going with an 1800$ build, 7$ 100$, wouldnt make a difference at that price point
stellas having 16 ring leds with 8 hub leds while the LL120's only have 12 ring leds + 4 hub leds
ripe wedge
they dont even sell them on amazon
little osprey
they dont even sell them on amazon
gelid stellas are only sold on their official website
just looking at what has good airflow and a little RGB
gelid solutions
ripe wedge

little osprey
its not an "unknown brand"
vagrant gulch
ah i suppose you mean the psu cable having two sata power connectors. that reall...
Nah, didn't work with just the sata data port with one of them. I never heard of an hdd not requiring an sata power cable. I'll probably need to clone, before I switch my current ssd (it has the OS) out with the new one. Have you tried Acronis before?
little osprey
if you are well-versed in the fan category you would know gelid stella fans are one of the best budget rgb fans there are
ripe wedge
well im not extremely knowledgeable in the fan industry
little osprey
Nah, didn't work with just the sata data port with one of them. I never heard of...
never used any os cloning softwares. although an hdd does require sata power/sata data. sata data going to the motherboard and sata power going to the psu itself. there are two sata connectors on the hdd
hdd's need sata power otherwise they simply..get no power. only data without any means to read/write
your psu should have a cable having two sata power connectors
just plug those into the two hdds, and then the two sata data cables respectively into the sata ports
little osprey
heres the direct link to the preorder section
they are out of stock right now though
ripe wedge
ah nvm it popped up
ripe wedge
ill keep these bookmarked for in the future
little osprey
alright
good price, but are there any others that outperform those with good looking RGB?
i mean at dual ball bearings and 100k mttf rated at 40c it would be hard to find similar performing fans at that price point
vagrant gulch
your psu should have a cable having two sata power connectors
I must've read it in a different way. I knew that since I've always had them both connected. I guess I thought when you said "if you do have two hdd's just plug them into the sata data ports on your motherboard that can still be used with the m.2 ssd" I thought you meant the sata power cable can be removed while the sata data cable can stay on making it still work.

do let me know if u find some tho

balmy patio
nah
severe axle
that cpu cooler is overpriced
balmy patio
he’s fine with the stock one
little osprey
The stock cooler is good enough
I don’t think he needs to buy a separate one
thats an nhd15 chromax its the best cooling performance CPU cooler there is
severe axle
its overpriced
little osprey
plan on using it for multiple generations
severe axle
dont buy that one
severe axle
you're paying $150+ more
little osprey
on that part list it is...when its actually in stock on places its only 99$

little osprey
Why not stock cooler tho
most of that list is out of stock and only prices showing up are from weird 3rd party sellers
because nhd15 is the best CPU aircooler
noctuas nhu12a is smaller and gets about the same temps
but i heard noctua is going to make a successor to the nhd15 fan, same way they upgraded the 12 to the 12a
Because it’s the best doesn’t mean u HAVE to get it
little osprey
but i heard noctua is going to make a successor to the nhd15 fan, same way they ...
Ah ok
im going air cooled til the end of time, nhd15 is the very best, plan on using it with more then just 1 CPU in its lifetime
Ok
what’s nhd15 msrp btw
also when AMD/Intel go to AM5, theyre going to provide AM5 upgrade kits
severe axle
like $99
little osprey
99$ almost everything is out of stock right now so the weird no named stores are appearing on part picker all over priced
macho rev b has some good price/perf too
if you’re in a lower budget of course
as well as fuma 2 and might look at neptwin soon
just to see how they fair against each other
gleaming quartz
how much does an AM5 upgrade cost?
little osprey

stoic island
@little osprey macho rev b?
little osprey
the ram clearance 👀
going single fan on the nhd15, center fan does all the work, 2nd or 3rd just guides the air
only a 1° difference, and that nhd15 fan successor will boost that even more if they do it
stoic island
@little osprey if you're going single fan, just go NH-D15s
D15 is planned to get a successor q4 2021
little osprey
going for the nhd15 chromax, its in black!
they both have good fan clearance, the 2nd fan im gonna store for an emergency spare
if they make an 15S in chromax ill get it
little osprey
<@456226577798135808> macho rev b?

stoic island
Don't think macho rev b was great, grand macho was good tho

Anyone know a good mobo to pair with the 5800x?
stoic island
Like any decent b550/x570 board
little osprey
Don't think macho rev b was great, grand macho was good tho
on mobile right now. cant find any other benchmarks
but i’m sure there are some other ones
macho rev b is great price/perf from what i can tell
priced at around 55 usd
stoic island
Ya I've seen it on tpu charts before but tpu chart scaling is kinda sad
little osprey
mhm just too lazy to find other benchmarks right now
still at 55usd it looks to be a great cooler
reef siren
Is it better to get x570 mobo for the pcie 4?
stoic island
Dunno, usually not 55usd
@reef siren B550 gets pcie 4.0 too
On Pcie x16 and M.2_1
reef siren
Then what is the real difference between the 2?
little osprey
the nhd15 successor heatsink is going to have another heat pipe
but for the heatsink they showed at computex 2019 it only had a 1° gain
the new 140mm fan though should be pretty good
stoic island
Dunno
1c can be a lot
We'd have to see anyways
It can go either way
Remember when cnps20x got hyped to hell for beating d15?
It's just within run to run variation nowadays, and it's not at a good price.
stoic island
Hm? I'd wait for widespread testing first either way
Because of cnps20x's crazy early benches as an example
stoic island
They've worked on an ANS system for like 6 years now
And still no real product yet
I'd love to see it tho, the few demos from like 4 years ago looked promising
Noctua development is fun
little osprey
really glad they made a chromax d15S version
the cooler height is 5mm less so it will work even better in the case
was 165mm in a 170mm height compatible case with the non-S
cursive wharf
Don't think macho rev b was great, grand macho was good tho

gleaming quartz
what do you guys think about my current build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZjWfF8
little osprey
D15 is 165mm too
d15S is 160mm
the d15 is 165mm, corsair 4000d airflow has a 170mm height limit
plus the heatsink covers would add another 5mm and make it 170 in 170 limit

the 3800x is no different then a 3700x, its just a little overclocked with a larger price tag

thank you
stoic island
as in, is that a pcie 4x riser..?
steel flare
i thought cold ssd make it go slower
hollow grail
that is a sas connection iirc
stoic island
can't really tell
hollow grail
actually im wrong oops
i mostly use sas ssds though
nvme drives are n i c e tho
sas does uhhhhhh
12gbps
so nowhere near good nvme speeds but enterprise nvme isnt really prioritizing speed anyways
stoic island
can't have like a 660p with like a 5gb cache
hollow grail
i do have some enterprise nvme drives that i use for unrar tho lol
some seagate ones
hollow grail
True
Hgst is nuts
Literally the best drive manufacturer of all time
Also ive started telling people to get that one wd blue drive lol
stoic island
just sayin, don't be Blue 2tb
hollow grail
Have had wd and seagate (mostly seagate) conk tf out on me
But never hgst
Lmao
Its blue 4tb
Ofc
stoic island
good
stoic island
imagine a 1tb 2.5in HDD
hollow grail
I have a literal stack of 20 1tb 2.5in drives
calm goblet
so i went from a b450 tom max to an x570 e gaming. my deepcool rmf120m rbg are no longer on. it was previously controlled by my motherboards rgb preset but now theyre off completely. any idea how to get them to have lighting
verbal quarry
why not?
hollow grail
Theyre fine for cold storage
Throw some data on there and chuck em in a safety deposit box
stoic island
eh fair, but what, you gonna run raid 99 or smth
hollow grail
Nah just fill em with semi important stuff
Although now my semi important stuff is going to b2/gdrive
stoic island
Quantity over quality eh
hollow grail
Chuckin another 25tb up there sometime this week 
But the wd blue 4tb is like 70 and change on pcpp rn
hollow grail
Theres raid 10
stoic island
we need a raid 100 for 100 drives
stoic island
iirc double digit raid is just mix matching the single digit protocols?
hollow grail
Basically yeah
stoic island
how would 10 even work lel
0 is just slap it all on
wouldn't it basically just raid 1
stoic island
ick
hollow grail
Raid 10 is op if ur using bad drives tho
stoic island
what's the damn difference from raid 1 lel, 'spreading out' the failure rate, you might as well grab like 2 more drives and just do like raid 5
hollow grail
Tldr: rebuilds
A lot of the time
Drive dies on raid 5
The rebuild causes another drive to fail
Bye bye data
hollow grail
10 for seagate in general
stoic island
prob can get away with 5 for good seagate drives :P
stoic island
idk
stoic island
6tb barracuda
frozen junco
I am 13 never build a computer before and I just build my new computer all by myself. All the fans are spinning Rgb is working and I am in the bois. My time is around 4 hours.
Let’s goo
stoic island
:D
hollow grail
He is in the bois
stoic island
beats me by about a week
gleaming quartz
nice work @frozen junco
stoic island
my lesson learned was ebay 1080ti bad
hollow grail
Ngl for a first build thats some nice cable management
gleaming quartz
true
stoic island
what's the cooler, NH-U9s?
frozen junco
I need to cable manage the back a bit
hollow grail
My line of thinking is if u cant see the back it doesnt matter
little osprey
the front always looks good. its the back tho lol
hollow grail
gleaming quartz
yeah
stoic island
can't think of anything else with a beige fan in that shape/size
gleaming quartz
the back shield is where all of the ugly cable stuff that no one wants to see goes
stoic island
@hollow grail smh I was told I could OC a 2700 to just become a 2700x
stoic island
and I was told to buy a 1080ti because it destroyed all the new cards
gleaming quartz
whats the difference between the 2700 and 2700x?
hollow grail
It was super interesting actually
hollow grail
Basically mobile 1080 that failed power requirements
So they put it on a desktop pcb
stoic island
interesting
hollow grail
It had a massive cooler on it lol it runs at like 30c under load
stoic island
sounds nuts
hollow grail
Best part is
stoic island
how'd the vram work
stoic island
manually install laptop 1080 drivers?
stoic island
huh
stoic island
I swear if it's like arch
hollow grail
Debian
stoic island
Because Nvidia Linux driver support (on some distros) is supposed to be crap
ah okay
stoic island
fair
hollow grail
I love all the manjaro kiddies though lmfao
Saying they have arch
Garbage tier distro
But yeah the 1080 works great

hollow grail
yea chuck that barracuda, spend $20 more for twice the storage
little osprey
ok
stoic island
I'd grab B550 aorus elite ax
hollow grail
that too
hollow grail
i just go with what 1111 says for mobo stuff tbh
stoic island
I stare at mobo sheet too much lel
hollow grail
im more into storage stuff personally
little osprey

hollow grail
in case u couldnt tell lol
little osprey
i cant spell
stoic island
I'm into storage as far as "does dat ssd have dram"
hollow grail
based
little osprey
^
stoic island
don't know lel
hollow grail
stoic island
oh yea
people come asking if like a gx2 has dram
and I'm like
look at the price
what do you think it has
little osprey
for 32gb of ram wouldnt 4x8 be better than 2x16?
hollow grail
im starting to tell ppl to get the mp34 cause it looks pretty ok for the price, but i still dont rly trust the tbw theyre talking abt
stoic island
I mean the MP510 I have has a higher tbw, but that's because of the really high overprovisioning
hollow grail
adore the corsair ssds
little osprey
lpx ram looking at you like 
stoic island
PSU, some overpriced, some coil whine, some old units bad
stoic island
@little osprey bargain bin bins
hollow grail
thats 100% what team is doing imo
hollow grail
literal trash binned toshiba nand
slap it on a board
if it fails, send them a new drive
hollow grail
which is why i dont rly trust them as much as i trust say uhhhh
kingston or someone like that
cause at least i know theyll be around in some way in the next 5 years
little osprey
hollow grail
hell yea
i swear that 4tb blue is the cutest drive it just works so well for gamers
little osprey
that is good
hollow grail
killed the 2tb barracuda as best value drive for gamers imo
with how fat games are getting nowadays
little osprey
why not just get a 500gb
vagrant olive
they come in 512
hollow grail
512/500 is same thing
hollow grail
some ppl like uhhhhhh
stoic island
but but but
stoic island
7200rpm
hollow grail
others do 512
stoic island
I leave now
hollow grail
@stoic island i dare u to find a difference in load time
little osprey
no sn550
hollow grail
for a straight shot
i break 220mb/s all the time on my wd blue that i use as a downloads cache
vagrant olive
@hollow grail ur like big storage person do i do sn550 or sn750
which go zoom more
hollow grail
750 is more zoom
vagrant olive

hollow grail
id look at sabrent though
hollow grail
550 is blue right?
vagrant olive

hollow grail

hollow grail

hollow grail
vagrant olive
less-cute-ssd
hollow grail
it is, in fact, less cute
and ik this isnt the most popular opinion out there but tbh
id get a heatsink
winged tinsel
Is a 1 tb ssd and 2 tb 7200 rpm good enough for storage?
vagrant olive
easily
hollow grail
1tb NVME and 4tb hdd is what id go with
4tb is $20 more
than the popular pick 2tb rn
winged tinsel
Can you link a 4 tb
hollow grail
of course i can ❤️
winged tinsel
Thanks
vagrant olive
seegat
hollow grail
barracuda compute is trash tier
hollow grail
also its smr
winged tinsel

vagrant olive
cant wait until they hit a petabyte
balmy patio
version 2.0 😳
winged tinsel
Damn
vagrant olive
and why
hollow grail
they have literally all the content of a bunch of anime trackers
vagrant olive
wow
that is
kind of sad but also sort of expected for a person with 5 pb of storage
hollow grail
they do it for archival reasons cause a lot of anime release groups are going under
they dont even watch anime
vagrant olive
my favorite hidden gem of anime is called naruto
hollow grail
does anyone want a wicked cool mouse cursor
vagrant olive
sure
winged tinsel
Wait so seagate barracuda is bad?
vagrant olive
both are fine
hollow grail
@winged tinsel yes
vagrant olive
dont believe the lies
hollow grail
ironwolf is alrightish
hollow grail
seagate gets bodied on the consumer end
true
cause WD has/had their own enterprise brand
separate from main wd

@hollow grail
winged tinsel
winged tinsel
Yes but like is this one better lmao
balmy patio
we need gamer brand
winged tinsel
Alright thanks
balmy patio
razer products in particular
little osprey
gamer brand makes it 10x better wym
hollow grail
youd get better performance getting 2 of the blues and putting them in raid 0
like much better performance lul
and also 2x the storage
with 0.5x the reliability
hollow grail
true
little osprey
rgb = performance
vagrant olive
