Avoid gaming laptops like the plague

vagrant olive
#

@median horizon TRUE

median horizon
#

Just get a console imo

narrow rose
#

LTT did that secret shopper prebuilt thing again maybe watch the recent ones

tribal coral
#

I had a MSI one i liked

median horizon
#

My friend had an asus laptop

tribal coral
#

Gf63 stealth and was a great deal

hollow grail
#

clevo

#

clevo only

median horizon
#

Her entire thing just died, and the battery broke down, a single Nvidia driver update killed it

vagrant olive
#

my setup rn is absolutely based

median horizon
#

Wait

#

Is that a Corsair keyboard

vagrant olive
#

yes

#

#

My laptop was only 1000$ in 2017 for a 1060 and i7

median horizon
#

Absolutely based.

vagrant olive
#

ik

#

and then once i get a monitor

#

my laptops gonna go on the nightstand right next to my desk

tribal coral
#

The worst part is that it is an alienware

hollow grail
#

unironically shill xotic i got 4 laptops from there personally and used them for work as well

median horizon
vagrant olive
#

@tribal coral shhh

indigo crescent
#

I don’t even think nzxt makes good prebuilt anymore

median horizon
#

Gaming laptops over the last few years have just been an absolute rip-off

hollow grail
#

ehh i dont agree

median horizon
vagrant olive
#

nzxt deadass charging 1k for a i5 9400f

hollow grail
#

it depends where you get them

vagrant olive
#

and a rtx 2060

#

which is kinda ok but like

indigo crescent
#

It’s dated.

vagrant olive
#

oh nvm

#

they goin with the

hollow grail
#

date me

vagrant olive
#

radeon 5600 xt

tribal coral
#

Still not new but better

vagrant olive
#

t

#

plus wifi, windows and 2 year warranty

#

for 1k

#

they got that verge pc build ram speed

median horizon
#

wifi

hollow grail
#

intel ssd

median horizon
#

If you’re getting a desktop pc

#

Just get an Ethernet cord

hollow grail
#

and rotten it depends

vagrant olive
#

i will not

median horizon
#

They’re like $30 at most

vagrant olive
#

because my router is

hollow grail
#

i think uhhhhhhhh

vagrant olive
#

across the house from me

#

and i am not running a cable through multiple hallways

hollow grail
#

a lot of laptops are bad value

indigo crescent
#

Aren’t they selling an i3 and a 1650 for like 700

vagrant olive
#

thats jus ugly

#

yeah LOL

hollow grail
#

i 100% adore clevo though

vagrant olive
#

BIG $700 pc

indigo crescent
#

🤦‍♂️

median horizon
#

i3 WHEEZE

indigo crescent
#

2400mhz

vagrant olive
#

and it all comes in a h510 so

#

you know youll be using that warranty when you wake up to your house on fire

median horizon
#

H510 is overrated imo.

vagrant olive
#

its really only used by new pc builders who look at it and see it looks nice

median horizon
#

Corsair 4000d supremacy

vagrant olive
#

i love the aesthetic but the airflow

#

by god

#

im more a of a 275r man myself but i respect 4000d

median horizon
#

Nominated in 4 awards and won/tied in GN’s “best cases of 2020”

#

In terms of I think best noise?

#

It was incredibly quiet for great temperatures

desert gulch
#

H510 trash

median horizon
#

It also got nominated for Best Mechanical design, sadly was beat by Meshify 2

#

So Corsair 4000d definitely holds a strong place rn

#

Especially the airflow

vagrant olive
#

how many case fans does the 4000d airflow come with

#

i honestly might get it

severe axle
#

2

vagrant olive
#

hmmm

indigo crescent
#

Is it a big case

#

Hardly know about that case

median horizon
#

It’s reasonably sized

vagrant olive
#

its a mid tower case

median horizon
#

It can fit a 360mm rad in the front, 280 at the top

vagrant olive
#

the pictures make it look rly big

median horizon
#

As well as the fact that it can mount up 4 140m fans

narrow rose
#

453mm x 230mm x 466mm

#

its mid size tower

vagrant olive
#

man imma be deep in the usb c

#

gonna have 2 ports 😎

median horizon
#

Pretty big for a mid tower isn’t it?

vagrant olive
#

yea

median horizon
#

But basically

#

You have a lot of customization

vagrant olive
#

i kinda wanna go with the white version even tho most of my build is black

#

i kinda like the contrast

#

but black versions more in stock hmm

median horizon
#

Room for 120 mm at the rear
Room for 2 140mm at the top
Room for 3 120 mm or 2 140mm at the fromt

#

(Go for 140’s, they’re usually cheaper and perform vastly better)

vagrant olive
#

man case fans are the one thing i dont rly get too much

#

do most cases come with a fan hub

#

for more than 3

#

or is that something i gotta buy extra

median horizon
#

Usually.

#

Unless-

#

If you get an AIO

vagrant olive
#

does the 4000d come with one?

median horizon
#

Specifically one of Corsairs Capellix.

indigo crescent
#

Fr does the mb320l connect to the mobo or not

#

The fans on it

median horizon
#

Sadly, no, it doesn’t come with fan controllers

vagrant olive
#

man

median horizon
#

What’s your current idea for a pc, Aorus?

vagrant olive
#

bruh im dnger

#

but

median horizon
#

shhh

#

You go by Aorus now

vagrant olive
#

wait so the 4000d doesnt come with a fan hub meaning i have to buy one?

median horizon
#

Yeah, no.

vagrant olive
#

yikes

median horizon
#

Though commander pros usually don’t break the bank in my experience

#

What it does break is your cable management sadly

vagrant olive
#

$75?

#

man i got like no moners to spare for this build yikes

median horizon
#

Yo uhh

#

Why do you have a 5 pack?

#

Just get a 3 pack imo.

vagrant olive
#

my mobo has 4 sys fan ports, and a sys fan 5 and 6 labeled pump

#

can i just like ignore the pump and also use those for a case fan or no

median horizon
#

I believe so.

vagrant olive
#

rad

#

so imma just get a 3 pack then

median horizon
#

If it has enough pins.

vagrant olive
#

ez

#

o yea lemme check

#

yeah the sys fan and the pump ones all have 4 pins

#

so they should work?

median horizon
#

What kind of pins does your mobo use?

vagrant olive
#

wdym

#

i can see that for the sys_fan it has 4 pins

#

and its the same for the sys_fan_pump

narrow rose
#

also most likely if you buy a 3 pack you can string all 3 together and just use one sys/cas fan port

vagrant olive
#

imma just do the 3 pack

#

ill have enough sys fan ports

median horizon
#

It comes with 2 140 mils so

#

Actually wait lemme rethink

vagrant olive
#

oh theyre 140mils

median horizon
#

Actually yeah that’s perfect

vagrant olive
#

no

#

it says 120mm

#

The CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW is a distinctive, high-airflow optimized mid-tower ATX case with easy cable management and two included CORSAIR 120mm AirGuide fans for exceptional cooling.

median horizon
#

Oh my b

#

3 at exhaust, 3 at intake.

vagrant olive
#

ill have 5 total

median horizon
#

4 pack then-

vagrant olive
#

do they

#

do 4 packs?

median horizon
#

Dunno

vagrant olive
#

they do but barely any and its crappy fans too

#

are uphere fans good

narrow rose
#

never heard of them

vagrant olive
#

they seem ok

#

the design is meh but theyre cheap so idc

#

actually imma just get 3 arctic p12s separately

cerulean maple
#

you can try the same thing by booting with one stick at a time only, but cpu debug light makes it sound like it might not be RAM

agile folio
#

do corsair aio's with rgb fans come with the rgb hub

#

or would i need to buy one

mint knot
#

Need help just built a i9-9900k with asus z390-E board the fan lights come on but it doesn't post and fans do not spin

little osprey
#

Goodbye defective cpu

#

Tbh i was so excited to use my pc i threw away the cpus original packaging so i had to buy new plastic covers for it 😅

#

That was the only packaging i threw away for some reason

verbal quarry
#

F

little osprey
#

yeah hopefully im right with the issue being the cpu

#

which it most likely is

queen gale
#

thoughts?

severe axle
#

120mm aio isn’t worth it

queen gale
#

what do you recommend?

severe axle
#

any 240mm one should be fine

queen gale
#

ill look into that

severe axle
#

and the case doesn’t have good airflow

queen gale
#

ive been told that but its the best i can find for the price

#

ill make later upgrades after about 5-7 months

#

thanks

median horizon
queen gale
#

ill look at it

severe axle
#

mx330-g or mx410 mesh-g

#

cheaper, includes 3 and 4 fans respectively, and front mesh panel for airflow

median horizon
#

Listen I’m gonna use the Tech YouTuber logic

queen gale
#

i like the simplistic and clean look of the corsair

median horizon
#

It’s not from Corsair, Fractal, Phanteks or any other big name company

#

It’s bad

balmy patio
#

what

queen gale
#

ya, i was looking at the fractal design-c

balmy patio
queen gale
#

i love that case and will eventually get it, unless i go for a bigger rig

median horizon
#

Meshify 2 makes me feel weird

#

It’s just the Define 7 with a mesh front from what I’ve seen

queen gale
#

yea it is

#

for the most part

#

any other recommendations? i know the psu is bronze rated but again, ill upgrade parts eventually

severe axle
#

nr600 for aesthetics

median horizon
#

Eh

#

Front panel looks weird imo.

severe axle
#

if you are going to upgrade psu to a different rating then it’s worth it to just spend the extra $30 now

hollow grail
#

All my fave cases have no airflow lol

median horizon
#

The agony of aesthetics vs performance

severe axle
#

with nr600 it’s basically an h510 with front mesh panel, plus a stripe

median horizon
#

Ngl

balmy patio
median horizon
#

GN has changed the enthusiast market by a considerable amount imo.

hollow grail
#

love them,,,,

queen gale
#

i really like the turquoise one

balmy patio
#

dang

severe axle
#

rip airflow though

queen gale
#

facts

#

no air is getting thru there

#

except the top maybe

severe axle
#

on the side actually

balmy patio
#

eh there's prolly side intakes on the side of the front panel

hollow grail
#

wifey wants one of them tbh

severe axle
#

hidden, there’s a vent

balmy patio
#

you don't want to use top as intake in most cases 😳

hollow grail
#

ill just get a nice aio

queen gale
#

ya top intake sucks

#

literally

#

heh...im cringe

#

anyways, thank you guys for the input

hollow grail
#

also lol delro i have a 120mm aio

#

for a 3770 non k keeeek

#

stonks tbh

severe axle
#

this a 9700k though 🅱️

hello

#

pls come

little osprey
#

Hey

blazing aurora
#

how long do newegg returns usually take ?

little osprey
#

btw I am not paying the part picker GPU price

summer pasture
#

I would get b550 mobo

stiff patio
#

for 30$ MORE 3700X/3070 IS BETTER THAN 9600K/2060 CORRECT?

stoic island
#

@stiff patio you're probably like 200$ over budget

#

They're paying msrp on 2060, not pcpp listed price

stoic island
#

I might try at a list soon

#

If I have time

stiff patio
#

oh

tender fjord
#

will I really be able to tell the difference between a 1440p monitor and 1080p monitor

stoic island
#

@tender fjord don't know until you try

#

Because I am not you

#

I can't tell you what you will see

tender fjord
#

maybe once covid ends I'll go to a store and check it out

tender fjord
#

yeah but as mr111 saisd it depends on how other people see things

fading kiln
#

that's why i said that "i did"

tender fjord
#

which one is better the gigabyte m27q or the acer g27q

#

I care a lot about color

stoic island
#

Acer G27q..?

#

You mean the gigabyte G27q?

tender fjord
#

oh wait

stoic island
#

M27q is better

tender fjord
#

Acer Nitro XZ270U

#

I meant this

#

or the gigabute m27q

stoic island
#

M27q should have better color

tender fjord
#

thanks

little osprey
#

hello its a me again

#

is this good

#

if yes

#

what are the best mini itx case under 70usd

#

amzn or newegg

#

amzn prices are 10 times lower than newegg

#

@here

#

is this good

little osprey
#

ok thx

#

wb the psu

#

with a 2600

quasi snow
#

The psu isn't god

#

good*

little osprey
#

then what

#

this

quasi snow
#

I'd say a rosewill captsone is a good idea for that budget

stiff patio
#

NOT ROSEWILL

cursive locust
#

All all, I am looking to build a PC design for Day Trading, Can I get some spec's / recommendation - my budget is $1200. max . would love to get 128 GB RAM

eager flower
#

I said maybe a server type build would be better for @cursive locust

#

if it isnt gaming you dont need a gpu, unless you dont have acpu with integrated graphics

quasi snow
#

capstone is b tier

eager flower
#

if you need a gpu get a 710

stiff patio
#

A ROSEWILL PSU LIT MY HOUSE ON FIRE SO NO!

#

IT DID

jagged ember
#

modelbrand , just saying

#

corsair has bad psus too

stiff patio
#

i use seasonic

jagged ember
#

fair, but even seasonic has bad psu

#

like S12III

lethal steppe
#

WIDEUS

cursive locust
#

@eager flower - do you have a recommendation of a server or high power workstation ?

lethal steppe
#

peepoSadSip hallo

jagged ember
#

hi

eager flower
#

im making you a build

#

one sec

jagged ember
#

my existence must be ended

stiff patio
#

its not gunna blow up

jagged ember
#

probably not tbh lol

eager flower
#

how much day trading are you doing where it needs the poweer

#

W or E Xeon processor would be good

little osprey
#

is this good

jagged ember
#

oof

#

is that the one with a front mouted psu?

stiff patio
#

no

eager flower
#

Ok a serverish PC is hard with 128 gigs of ram and your price point

barren sable
little osprey
#

what's fattydove lol

barren sable
little osprey
#

yeah ik

#

i mean

#

it looks kinda sketchy

#

never heard of it

#

is it good ?

little osprey
jagged ember
#

that ssd is not even on the ssd master list

#

it's almost garaunteed dramless given it's price, and its SATA

edgy cairn
#

I have an intel i9 10th gen overclocked and 32gb of 3600mz ram, but a 1650 for the graphics card. Roast me.

foggy hazel
#

you are doing just fine yourself, no need for us to get involved

eager flower
#

^^^

#

What would we roast you on

#

flexing an i9-10900?

little osprey
#

probably sata 3 dramless

#

L5 lite 3d at 240 gb is a good option if you're on a budget

#

vulcan and mx500 is also a viable choice

eager flower
#

Do not buy it lmao

winged tinsel
#

Is it bad if that I set my motherboard down on carpet?

eager flower
#

should be faster than 4x

eager flower
#

please do not do that lmao

little osprey
#

i'd advise against it

winged tinsel
#

Well I already did without thinking lmao so that’s not good

#

Hopefully it still works

jagged ember
#

dont rub your mobo in your carpet

#

that will increase the likelihood of damage

eager flower
#

it will probably work

#

ive never heard of static killing a part tbh, better safe than sorry

edgy cairn
jagged ember
#

just don't build on fabric surfaces

#

tecc tip # something

eager flower
winged tinsel
eager flower
#

eh

edgy cairn
eager flower
#

50/50

jagged ember
#

no, it won't hurt other components

#

usually, anyways

eager flower
#

a 1650 is a midrange card

jagged ember
#

you should be fine though

eager flower
#

i run a 1060, which is worsw than a 1650, and run most if not all games i play at 100+

jagged ember
#

rip 1060

#

sips is so unhappy about that lmao

eager flower
#

about what? a 1060?

edgy cairn
#

Obs and warzone do not mix I know that much

jagged ember
#

yeah 1060

#

he can't run much of what he wants at the level he wants

eager flower
#

do they use one or

#

ah

#

well tbf i cant run AAA

#

but my 3070 can

#

: >

jagged ember
#

30fps for something i forget

eager flower
#

building exactly a week from right now

jagged ember
#

obs and warzone will mix

eager flower
jagged ember
#

just tone down your stream settings

#

and your game settings if necessary

#

i.e. 720p 30fps with 2000kbps

#

something like that should let you run your game at higher quality settings

edgy cairn
eager flower
#

BRO

#

wait

#

which CPU

#

no no no thats not how it works

jagged ember
#

it helps, i've tested it myself

#

reduces the load on your gpu if you have it pinned due to game settings

eager flower
#

OHMY GOD

#

I GOT A 3

#

sorry

edgy cairn
#

???

eager flower
#

i have a chance of getting out of my physics final

#

a 3 = a

jagged ember
#

weird equation, but okay

eager flower
#

nmo like

#

I got a 3 on my physics test, a 3 means i got an A

jagged ember
#

kekw i know what you mean

edgy cairn
#

a(3)=3a

eager flower
#

lmaooo

#

noono

jagged ember
#

was kidding

eager flower
#

lmao

#

i just dont wanna take a physic final

jagged ember
#

just use your formula sheet

#

and maybe review some questions beforehand

eager flower
#

I do, if I get a 3 on the math portion for my test today

#

the final i can tank and still be at an A

jagged ember
#

lmao

#

insane

edgy cairn
#

Oof you can’t send memes 😅

edgy cairn
#

I literally just got a warning from Newegg

eager flower
#

huh'

#

you can send memes

warm mirage
#

newegg discord is p2w

edgy cairn
#

It said something about links aren’t allowed when I used a discord gif

eager flower
#

once youre level3

#

you can send e,m

edgy cairn
#

Oh

blazing aurora
#

what's the best cpu below 150USD (used or unused)

narrow rose
#

3200g or 9400f for new

#

3400g when its on sale

#

used is just up to how much searching you do

little osprey
#

what is the AMD equivalent of 3400g?

narrow rose
#

3400g is AMD

little osprey
#

Yeah but if you were comparing it to another cpu from amd

narrow rose
#

you mean intel

little osprey
#

no amd

#

like 2nd gen

#

etc

narrow rose
#

I dont know I guess there really wasnt one

little osprey
#

just checked looks like its a 2600 equivalent

narrow rose
#

kind of a new thing for AMD

#

2600 new version is a 3600

little osprey
narrow rose
#

but like a 2400g is also ryzen 5 like the 3400g and costs $100 more

#

they do weird naming things

little osprey
#

no the naming scheme makes sense

#

Intel has a ton of random numbers

#

2400g 2nd gen 3400g 3rd gen

balmy patio
#

they jus add extra numbers for us to differentiate, which is nice

narrow rose
#

how does a 2400g ryzen 5 for $250 and a 3400g ryzen 5 for $150 make sense

#

why didnt they switch them

little osprey
#

2400g doesn't have production anymore

#

so price raised due to less supply

#

3400g outperforms 2400g

narrow rose
#

yeah it does its just odd that its by such a small amount

stiff patio
#

who need help

little osprey
#

nobody apparently

stiff patio
#

ok

little osprey
#

all good 👌🏼

balmy patio
#

smh

frigid zinc
#

how do i know which power unit i have to pick for a build

vagrant olive
#

send us ur build

little osprey
#

the specs of the rest of your build

balmy patio
#

go 200w over estimated power, and check to see if there's any other ppl that made a system like the one your planning on building

blazing aurora
frigid zinc
#

CPU Ryzen 5 3500x
GPU GTX 1650 msi super gaming x
Storage 1tb hdd
optional storage 480gb kingstone ssd

Case Aerocool Cylon Black RGB, Vidrio Templado (tempered glass)

blazing aurora
vagrant olive
#

good budget build yeah

blazing aurora
#

thanks

vagrant olive
#

a 600w will easily be enough

frigid zinc
#

alr

#

is there any compatibily issues in that build

#

with the gpu

little osprey
#

not with the gpu

vagrant olive
#

doesnt look like it, but you should plug all the parts into pcpartpicker

#

just to see if the site shows anything

frigid zinc
#

wat

little osprey
#

pcpartpicker can be wrong so careful

vagrant olive
#

can but for the most part its fine

frigid zinc
#

is that like a site to check if theres any incompatibilities

vagrant olive
#

its a site to find parts

#

but also shows incompatibiliteiss

little osprey
#

your build is fine tbh

#

everything should be compatible

#

double check if you want

#

but why the 8gb 2400 mhz ram ?

#

can someone like help me, i dont have a build, i have a laptop but idk where the tech support chat is, so im coming here

#

basically this randomly started today, my computer randomly lags, my cpu and gpu usage randomly just shoot up then go back down and it makes my entire laptop

#

just lag out

agile folio
#

can you check your temps?

little osprey
#

how do i do so?

#

that ss is from roblox, its not happening in just roblox, i just used roblox as they have a micro profiler and performance stats

#

lemme see if they have temp

#

no it doesnt have tempature

agile folio
#

uh i forgot the name of the program

glacial umbra
#

i5-10400F with b460 or ryzen 5 3600 with b450

#

?

#

i5-10400F is significantly cheaper right now so I'm leaning towards the better choice for my budget

little osprey
#

i need help D:

agile folio
#

ill try and look rn

I don't know where I should ask this question so I'm going to ask it here. I've had my PC for about a month at this point and whenever I stream an application discord isn't picking up the application noise (yes I'm streaming the application and not my screen). Would there be any fix to this issue?

If you have a solution please ping me

@agile folio

#

it seems normal

agile folio
#

are you running anything on your computer rn

little osprey
#

my laptop doesnt feel hot at all

agile folio
#

like games or stuff\

little osprey
#

yes, im on a google meet but it was doing it when i wasnt running anything either

agile folio
#

i think if the max is 82C its running a little hot

#

would be scary to think what it would go to if u were playing games

balmy patio
#

i mean

agile folio
#

it is a laptop tho

balmy patio
#

82c is pretty normal for a laptop

#

(running games ofc)

agile folio
#

if u can open a game of something and see what it goes to

little osprey
#

lemme open a game

severe axle
#

they have higher safe operating temps, if you really want lower temps then get a cooling pad

little osprey
#

i opened a game, and it went up around 84-95 degrees

#

it was switching between 70-94ish

agile folio
#

94 seems high considering you didnt have it open for awhile

#

but someone who knows more abt laptops could confirm that

#

or prove it wrong

native plover
#

If i change my ram speed in bios does it give any problems to my pc?

little osprey
#

could it be my memory usage:?

agile folio
#

yea could check

little osprey

alr

#

i have to go, ill check those later, thanks for your help!

agile folio
#

no worries sorry i couldnt solve it

little osprey
#

nooo its fine lol

#

not everyone is amazing with laptops and sh

#

i prefer laptop over pc, i wanna be able to take it places, i do agree that pc > laptop but laptop works better for me

Hey guys. I'm building my first PC. Wanted to build one that is going to have amazing performance and super stable. I'm between MSi-MPGZ490 WIFI or Asus Rog Maximus XII formula. Suggestions? I'm also open to another brand. Going to be using the intel i9, 10900k

stoic island
#

Quite expensive boards

gleaming quartz
#

true

stoic island
#

@coral wasp will you be looking to overclock your cpu?

coral wasp
stoic island
#

Do you need wifi?

coral wasp
#

is it safe to click on a link from someone named dummy 🙂

vagrant olive
#

@coral wasp aorus mobos

#

are you going intel or amd

stoic island
#

Lol

#

@vagrant olive 10900k

coral wasp
#

i'm getting mixed reviews between the 10900 and 5900x

vagrant olive
#

F

coral wasp
#

i know the AMD is hard to come by

vagrant olive
#

5900x is way better

#

but

#

hard to come by rn

stoic island
#

5900x is slightly better but very hard to come by.

gleaming quartz
# coral wasp perhaps, haven't figured that out yet

this is coming from an amateur, but i would say maybe research your components and what you want to do before you start making buying decisions like this, considering both of those mobos are quite expensive

coral wasp
#

i'm definitely a newbie

stoic island
#

@coral wasp anyways, do you need wifi or will you just be using Ethernet?

severe axle
#

also the gpu market is wack rn

coral wasp
#

i'd like wifi

vagrant olive
#

aorus pro ac

#

has wifi

#

!

stoic island
#

Asus Z490-plus wifi is another option

vagrant olive
#

aorus mobos are better tho

#

@coral wasp if you do go with an amd cpu i highly recommend teh aorus pro ac

coral wasp
#

i'm not in a rush so I could wait for the AMD

#

i've read the reviews and they all favor the 5900 over the i9

sinful hornet
#

aorus is great btw

#

just saw the name

#

mobos and gpus are pog

gusty mica
#

so i only have 1 4 pin jrgb plug in my case and i need 3, 3 pins plug for my corsair fans, what should i buy on amazon to fix the issue?

gusty mica
#

but i need 3 pin plug, does 4 pin also work with 3 pin plug?

#

4 pin jrgb plug split into 3, for a 3 pin rgb fans

sinful hornet
#

oh

ripe wedge
#

That splitter is the wrong splitter for argb

sinful hornet
#

you dont have any 3 pin headers?

#

ye, i thought they were asking for a 4 pin splitter for 3 outputs

gusty mica
#

i went in 3 shop, all of them only had 4 pin splitter

#

seem i can plug a 3 pin fan in a 4 pin connector it seem

stoic island
#

@coral wasp Alright, if you go 5900x, and can get your hand on one, a board I'd recommend would be a B550 aorus elite ax

#

@gusty mica Here's the thing, are we talking about rgb or fan header?

#

Because for rgb, 3 pin and 4 pin are vastly different, one is 5v, the other is 12v

#

but for fans, 3 pin and 4 pin are the same.

gusty mica
#

the fans are rgb 3 pin

stoic island
#

3pin argb is the 5v header

#

do NOT Plug it into 12v rgb

ripe wedge
#

Rgb go boom

If you go intel overclock

gusty mica

here's my board, two plug of sys fan 4 pin, and the bottom plug is jrgb1 4 pin

stoic island
blazing aurora
#

should i get 250gb ssd + 2tb hdd or a 500gb ssd

stoic island
#

@gusty mica what exact fan?

gusty mica
#

corsair 3 pin rgb fans c3

stoic island
#

like

#

ll120?

#

ML120?

#

QL120?

gusty mica
#

checking the manual

stoic island
#

god damn corsair

#

why can't they make their documentation easy to access

gusty mica
#

yeah there's nothing about the fan in the manual

stoic island
gusty mica
#

12 v dc 0.38a brushless fan

#

seem i got a 4 pin splitter already

#

but went i checked the board at the shop there was 2 3 pin plug witch why i got confuse

vagrant olive
#

whenthe

gusty mica
#

will open up the case and check all the wire

blazing aurora
#

should i get 250gb ssd + 2tb hdd or a 500gb ssd? hdd is seagate barracuda btw

gleaming quartz
#

depends on what you are going to do with them

#

performance vs. storage is what that is

severe axle
#

more fast storage is better

#

why have 250gb less if its the same price

blazing aurora
gleaming quartz
#

because some people just want more storage

severe axle
#

oh in that case 250gb ssd+2tb hdd

blazing aurora
#

oh okay thanks

little osprey
#

so that fattydove thing

#

its a ltt meme

#

uncultured swines but in a good way

#

is the rx570 8gb better than the 1650s @here

#

or no

gusty mica
#

ok i figured it out

#

my rgb fan come with 2 wire one is 3 pin other one is 4 pin with a splitter already

Like cases?

bitter flint

Yeah, a mini case size

indigo crescent

Idk maybe but the h200 is nice

I think the airflow isn’t the greatest tho by looks

bitter flint

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your question. I was actually already looking at that for my case lol I'm asking what gpus would be best to put in a mini sized case

#

I know some gpus are pretty big so there could be some size limitations

indigo crescent

It can fit a 3080

1,500 at the most

indigo crescent

I got a list

#

Gonna have to play the waiting game although

agile folio
#

anyone know the size constraints with a 290mm gpu and a fractal design meshify C?

#

with a front mounted radiator with 140mm fans?

indigo crescent
#

It can fit a 315mm card

#

That’s a little risky

agile folio
#

what about a 280mm gpu?

indigo crescent
#

Not really sure

near garden
#

I have a question you know those ryzen 7 prism coolers it has 3 cables the cpu fan header and the rgb ones so what’s up with the other rgb connectors

#

Do you need both of them or plug in only one ?

indigo crescent
#

If I remember you only need 1 to be able to change the color

#

Using cooler master

near garden
#

Oh

indigo crescent
#

This might help

bitter flint
#

How is this for a mini tower build? I put the H400 case because pcpartpicker doesn't have the 210 listed for some reason. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dZLxbh

Edit: I should add that it's for a friend that is wanting to record themselves playing games and video editing

zealous edge
#

Can someone please

#

check this list

indigo crescent
#

Looks great except the mobo might need a bios update

#

@bitter flint

#

Can I show you what I’ll pick @zealous edge

zealous edge
#

Sure

indigo crescent
#

Gonna take a while cause I gotta check compatibility

bitter flint
#

Cool cool! Thank you very much. When I bought that mobo but the regular size version it came with the BIOs update so I would hope that one would too, but even if not, it's doable.

it dosent have 256gb memory interface

but idk what that means

#

@bitter flint I would go with the b450m ds3h v2 although

desert gulch
#

@bitter flint i wouldnt go with a 5600xt for media creation, as nvidia has encoders, and the new amd cards do too

fiery flicker
#

i have a question revolving around choosing a graphics cars

desert gulch
#

go for it

fiery flicker
#

is the gigabyte 2060 super good?

desert gulch
#

for what cpu?

#

and what price is it rn?

fiery flicker
#

ryzen 3700x

desert gulch
#

well whats your budget?

#

for just gpu

fiery flicker
#

prolly around 600 gonna wait for prices to go back down

indigo crescent
bitter flint
#

@desert gulch oh okay, what card would you suggest that's around the same price point of 300?

vital warren
#

get a 3070 or 3060ti instead dragon

desert gulch
#

curls id say go for a 3060ti when its in stock

bitter flint
#

@indigo crescent gotcha! Thanks. I really appreciate having the help

desert gulch
#

or whatever new amd card that will be around that price

#

a 5600xt is horrible price wise a 330 anyways

fiery flicker
#

thanks dwella

indigo crescent
#

Does the fans from an aio go to the fan headers or connect to the cpu cooler connector

desert gulch
#

there is a cpu cooler fan header

#

it should be labeled like CPU_FAN

indigo crescent
#

So it only takes the cpu cooler header to connect everything on the aio

desert gulch
#

ohhh fans from aio could daisy chain and go to CPU_FAN1

foggy hazel
#

no

#

it depends on the splitters/connectors you have

desert gulch
#

if its a 2 fan one id go to the second cpu fan header

#

pump on aio should go to the header on mobo called AIO_PUMP

#

its a regular fan header except it runs at %100 all the times, since you dont adjust speed of an aio pump

blazing aurora
#

where should i put the ram on an intel mobo? i know that ryzen benefits from dual channel but i don't know much about intel processors

fiery flicker
#

what should i get for an m.2?

#

does it matter?

stoic island
#

@blazing aurora dual channel is for everything

#

@fiery flicker it does matter

fiery flicker
#

ok should i just get 500GB?

stoic island
#

@fiery flicker what's the total budget and what are you looking to store in general?

fiery flicker
#

just playing games and occasionally streaming

fleet pagoda
#

This price

fiery flicker
#

and under 120

gusty mica
#

so i check my manual on my motherboard, both jrgb1 & 2 connector seem to be for 5050 rgb led strips 12v, but my question is does it support 4 pins RGB fans also?

fiery flicker
#

m.2 under $120? just casual gaming and occasional streams

Guys do you know if an usb to hdmi adapter would work if I try to connect a monitor to a aorus x570 master with a Ryzen 3200G? I do not have a GPU at hand right now 😦

stoic island
#

back

#

@fiery flicker Try a Team MP34 1tb, 107usd, has dram, Phison E12 controller.

fiery flicker
#

link?

foggy hazel
#

@ancient yacht that CPU (technically a APU) allows you to use the hdmi/dp outputs on the mainboard itself

sick skiff
#

Hi, I want to use Synology NAS for backup. And the backup will be accessed by multiple users via internet. Could you please tell me hidden cost associated with it? Is DiskStation Manager free? I have found some information in google. But I want to verify it from here. Thank you.

foggy hazel
#

DiskStation manager license is bundled with synology products

ancient yacht
#

Yes the problem is that the x570 mobo does not have any hdmi or dp ports that’s why I wonder if I USB to hdmi adapter would work 😅

#

@foggy hazel and as I mentioned I don’t have any GPU at hand 😦

foggy hazel
#

hmm

#

unless they have wired the usb-c to reroute the signal, the igpu seems to be a waste on that cpu for that board

#

because, as you said yourself, no hdmi/dp outputs on that one

vagrant olive
#

@ancient yacht almost all aorus mobos have hdmi ports

foggy hazel
#

not this one @vagrant olive

vagrant olive
#

hmph

vagrant olive
#

oh

#

i see

foggy hazel
#

that is the back IO

ancient yacht
#

I do have a usb type c to hdmi adapter I just hope it would work

#

Thanks naed yep that’s my mobo

foggy hazel

i am grabbing the manual for a check right now @ancient yacht

My new pc just arrived today

I was trying to build the new pc with a Ryzen 5000 and obviously a RTX 3000 or RX 6000 but they all out of stock

the parts? or did you buy a prebuilt

#

Prebuilt

vagrant olive
#

ah

little osprey
#

Bc I'm lazy

vagrant olive
#

ah, is the gpu the only thing ur missing priceless?

ancient yacht
#

Yes aorus

#

I mean

#

Technically the cpu is on its way but I have all the other components

foggy hazel
#

@ancient yacht hmm, so far, based on the manual info, you are out of luck.

ancient yacht
#

The Ryzen 3200G will be here on Saturday

foggy hazel
#

but

#

that does not mean you should NOT try the usb c to hdmi dongle

ancient yacht
#

So that means I would need a GPU if I want to get the system running :/

foggy hazel
#

aye, according to the manual at least

ancient yacht
#

Yep I will do the anyways and see what happens haha

vagrant olive
#

yeah you can try but its kind of just up to chance

ancient yacht
#

I just would have loved to save the money instead of getting another GPU while I wait for 3080 to be restocked

vagrant olive
#

do you not have another pc?

ancient yacht
#

Laptop

vagrant olive
#

ah

#

yeah im on a laptop rn

ancient yacht
#

I mean I can wait but I just want to make sure that all the other components work you know

vagrant olive
#

what you can do if you want to get some use out of ur monitor is just use the laptop as the pc and attach an hdmi cable

foggy hazel
#

aye, sorry @ancient yacht looks like you are left in the hands of lady luck

ancient yacht
#

Haha I know naed 😂

#

That’s what I am doing rn @vagrant olive

#

My laptop is powering all my setup 😂

vagrant olive
#

lol

ancient yacht
#

But I was careless when getting the mobo, I didn’t check if it had hdmi or dp ports

vagrant olive
#

oof

So as naed said I’ll try with the usb type c adapter

i prefer two sticks 8gb

indigo crescent
#

The fastest speed it supports is 2666mhz don’t buy the board

jagged escarp

its just needed for business

foggy hazel
#

that is a 32gb total kit @jagged escarp (on the list you linked)

jagged escarp
#

that ram that's in the build not showing compatible. lucky i caught it before i bought it.

foggy hazel
#

@jagged escarp you keep on talking about "compatible"

#

please elaborate what you mean

foggy hazel
#

which reviews?

foggy hazel
#

because there is not technically anything that prevents that ram kit from being used with that board

severe axle
#

it just runs at slower speed

foggy hazel
#

indeed

jagged escarp
#

"The biggest downfall for me with this purchase is that this motherboard isn't 100 percent compatible with memory chips. Has to be a specific manufacturers and chipsets."

foggy hazel
#

ah, so buyer reviews then

jagged escarp
#

so i went digging and could not find that ram in the list form the board

#

its listed on MSI website

foggy hazel
#

you mean the QVL?

jagged escarp
#

yes

foggy hazel

85% of the ram that WORKS in the board is NOT in the QVL

is the CRYORIG M9 Plus Dual Tower Cooler a good place holder for a i7-9700k until I get an aio?

viral ore
#

you can tell by the "O" in the model number

agile folio
#

so i would just buy the non factory oc one and then jhust oc it on my own

foggy hazel
#

QVL is used by the companies that are either early adopters or need to run full slot occupancy @jagged escarp , do keep in mind, thats the rough idea behind it. But its really a carry over from the enterprise/server side of things

viral ore
#

and its like 30 dollars more

foggy hazel
#

and yes, the kit in the list should work just fine @jagged escarp

agile folio
#

thanks i was very confused since i could tell no difference ty

foggy hazel
#

why yes, i do have glasses, thank you for noticing :P

jagged escarp
foggy hazel
#

nah, it will just clock down and chug along at the max speed the board and cpu supports which is 2666

jagged escarp
#

yeah thats fine on speed, just needed for small business needs

foggy hazel
#

aye aye

jagged escarp
#

not for me either, currently building my own personal build

#

I go to buy my parts on newegg and it goes from 850usd to 931usd thanks coupon codes :/

jagged escarp
foggy hazel

hm?

unless that build is made to look pretty and intentionally limit the amount of performance per dollar value of it? i would change a bunch of things

misty pollen
#

I'm getting a placeholder cpu air cooler so I can save 70-100 dollars for now

#

everything else is the bare minimum of price

#

on newegg with the non working coupon its the same as amazon 😦

jagged escarp
foggy hazel
#

have you bought all the parts already or?

jagged escarp
foggy hazel
#

then suggestions are not relevant :)

jagged escarp

that current case has very low air-flow, and the vertical GPU will make it even hotter

#

Hi everyone, what would you pick between an Asus Prime X570-Pro vs ASRock B550M Steel Legend?

foggy hazel
#

neither board or cpu support higher

#

@final meadow look at IO, see what fits you best

glad mason
#

I always advocate X570 over B550

#

Unless its a real cheapo x570

final meadow
#

In a bundle, ASRock is $120 cheaper

glad mason
#

it's just that X570 is much more likely to support future CPUs.

glad mason
#

Some X470 boards will support literally ALL AM4 CPUs

you mean 570 hopefully

and you are the only one talking about 400 series chipsets :)

glad mason
#

BRO

final meadow
#

Haha

glad mason
#

OMG GUYS

#

Please listen.

#

If you want to compare X570 to B550

#

You have to account for the fact that AMD supports the X series chipsets for more longevity

#

than they do the B series.

foggy hazel
#

no, they dont.

#

that is 100% false.
