[upper cobalt]

get arctic fans or something

[hollow grail]

oh based

[little osprey]

Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition would be good enough?

[hollow grail]

girl gang

[upper cobalt]

yes

[little osprey]

its 50€ only

[hollow grail]

and more than good enough

oh just get the normal one lol

its like 30

[obsidian wigeon]

How about a gammaxx 400?

It's dirt cheap

[little osprey]

its fine I like the rgb

[upper cobalt]

arctic fans aren’t rgb

[little osprey]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/N4ktK3

What else do I change?

[upper cobalt]

got uphere fans in the uk?

[hollow grail]

the rgb on the 212 black is rly ass

[upper cobalt]

rgb does not add performance

i have to say it

[little osprey]

we know

and I never said that...

[hollow grail]

like id pay more for the non rgb version

its bad

[upper cobalt]

you know what

if you want a 100 dollar cooler

[obsidian wigeon]

there's the m400a

[upper cobalt]

get a noctua dh 15

[obsidian wigeon]

ofc from cm

[little osprey]

no I want a cooler with RGB

[upper cobalt]

and overclock the crap out of the 9600k

[obsidian wigeon]

or was it ma400

[upper cobalt]

[obsidian wigeon]

it also has rgb, i think it looks better there

but like, still crap

[upper cobalt]

id cooling has good aios

it’s like 60 pounds

[little osprey]

so is the hyper 212 good or not? u said it was good now u say to me to change

[upper cobalt]

the hyper 212 is fine

get different fans

[obsidian wigeon]

it's good as a cooler itself, but lili said the rgb looks ass

so idk

just get different fans yeah

[upper cobalt]

and get a different gpu to get it up to 1100

or not actually

it’s fine

[hollow grail]

id go on the used market tbh

or if u know someone whos upgrading

see if theyll cut you a deal

[little osprey]

Oh

so I change the fans

where

huh

[unreal jay]

@hollow dew does your case support an AIO cooler at the top? I have a Corsair case and it has clearance issues with my motherboard and ram

Sorry about the double ping, idk why but my other message got insta deleted

[little osprey]

I am confused how it looks ass

[upper cobalt]

r/hardwareswap ig?

you can probably find some good deals

[little osprey]

is the rgb rlly ass?

[obsidian wigeon]

I do think it looks ass lmao

Seems cheap, obviously

[little osprey]

whatever

ima get without RGB then

hmmm

I need more RGB in my build

maybe I could add top fans?

[unreal jay]

RGB kinda isn’t a factor for me anymore and it hasn’t been after like half of a year of owning my pc. You kinda forget it’s there I wouldn’t prioritize it

[little osprey]

does the Corsair H60 hasve RGB?

nvm

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cGzcRT

[unreal jay]

Waterblock yes, fan most likely not

[little osprey]

omfg

the 2060 is out of stock

[unreal jay]

You should try to catch a 3060ti restock

[little osprey]

its 500$ tho

[unreal jay]

My friend got one yesterday

No it’s $400 msrp

[little osprey]

no

its 500

[unreal jay]

No it’s not

[little osprey]

I am not in the US bud

[unreal jay]

Oh okay

Lol

[little osprey]

lmfao

and idk if I will be able to get one anyway

the stock is so bad

[unreal jay]

That’s why I said try

[little osprey]

Yeah

[coarse cove]

A us citizen realises not everyone lives in the us, 2020

[little osprey]

but I need a back up card

like imagine if I cant get the 3060

what do I get instead?

[upper cobalt]

a 3070?

lmao

[little osprey]

budget??

is a thing

[upper cobalt]

no it’s not

[little osprey]

lmfao

[unreal jay]

I would try to get either a 2060/s or a 1660s if you can’t get a 3060ti and can’t wait to get a gpu

[upper cobalt]

budgets are actually a myth

[little osprey]

Yeah

but they wont re stock the 2060

[upper cobalt]

actually, what do you have right now

[little osprey]

and 2060S

[upper cobalt]

what do you play fn on

[little osprey]

all I could go for would be a 1660S

[little osprey]

console

[upper cobalt]

keyboard and mouse?

[little osprey]

Yeah

[unreal jay]

Keyboard and mouse feels bad a 60fps for me

I can’t

[little osprey]

Its bad

Lol

[unreal jay]

Are you getting a good monitor?

[little osprey]

Yes

[unreal jay]

Ok

[little osprey]

144hz

and ima use the 60hz I have rn as a second one

[upper cobalt]

1080p?

[little osprey]

ofc

[unreal jay]

If you get a 3060ti I would go for 1440p 144hz because it can run it p well

If not, don’t

[little osprey]

there is no point of 1440p for me

[unreal jay]

It just looks better

[little osprey]

if I get a rtx 30 series I would try and get a 240HZ

[unreal jay]

I wouldn’t

[little osprey]

I dont care about looks in the game

[upper cobalt]

looks are everything

[little osprey]

I just need 1080p and more than 144 fps

[unreal jay]

The difference between 144-> 240 is so minimal compared to 60->144

You can barely tell

If at all

[little osprey]

I am using all low settings on fn so no need 1440P

[upper cobalt]

why all low settings

[unreal jay]

You can run that game a max probably lol

[upper cobalt]

you can easily run max settings with a 2069

[little osprey]

because epic settings look disgusting

[unreal jay]

Idk tho I don’t play fn

[upper cobalt]

2060*

[little osprey]

no one uses epic settings on fn only if u are a casual player tbh

but rarely

[upper cobalt]

my friend uses stretched res on epic settings

[unreal jay]

Oh you want to play competitively and get any edge on the competition?

[upper cobalt]

why would you want power settings

[little osprey]

Yes I am playing comp

I am a competitive person thats why I like comp and actually find it fun

[upper cobalt]

don’t know where that came from but ok

have you decided on your build?

[unreal jay]

If you really want the edge, while it won’t give you much at all, get a 240hz monitor instead ig. Just remember at that point you’re getting diminishing returns for the 240hz

[little osprey]

more or less @upper cobalt

[upper cobalt]

you don’t need a 240hz monitor

[little osprey]

I aint getting one thi

tho

[upper cobalt]

yeah

[little osprey]

I said I was getting a 144hz

[unreal jay]

Ok

[upper cobalt]

144 hz 1080p is perfect

[little osprey]

What is a good cpu to pair with a 1660S?

[unreal jay]

3600

[upper cobalt]

your getting a 1660s?

a 2600 would do

[little osprey]

no its for back up

[upper cobalt]

oh

a 2600

[little osprey]

cant get a 2060 because its out of stock

and they wont re stock I am pretty sure

[unreal jay]

How many backup parts are you getting wow

[little osprey]

1

just a backup GPu

[unreal jay]

He’s talking about the r5 2600 CPU

Not the 2060 from nvidia

[little osprey]

Oh

didnt realise

LOL

[unreal jay]

It’s fine

[little osprey]

would a 2700X be good?

[zealous edge]

Can someone build me a 1700$ cad build with a 9900k and a 5700xt

[little osprey]

why a 5700xt on a 1.7k build

[upper cobalt]

get a 10700k

[unreal jay]

Also about the monitor, if you can get an ips panel for around the same price as a TN or VA, get one

[little osprey]

ok

lemme show u what monitor I wanna get

[unreal jay]

Ok

[upper cobalt]

a 5700xt is fine for a 1700 dollar build if you can’t get a 30 series card

[unreal jay]

Yeah

[little osprey]

he could get a 6700

[zealous edge]

Yea

[upper cobalt]

get a va or ips

[zealous edge]

nah

[upper cobalt]

your not

[zealous edge]

5700xt

[upper cobalt]

you will not find a 6700

[zealous edge]

ik

[upper cobalt]

i’ve been scowering everywhere

[upper cobalt]

only scalpers

[zealous edge]

Yeap

[little osprey]

is that good?

I saw some stuff and its pretty good

[upper cobalt]

don’t get a tn monitor

[little osprey]

its a TN tho

[upper cobalt]

@zealous edge

i’ll build you one

[little osprey]

is IPS really important?

[upper cobalt]

2 secs

[unreal jay]

No

[little osprey]

whats the big difference?

[upper cobalt]

viewing angles

better color

[unreal jay]

IPS is better color accuracy and better viewing angles

Darker blacks and crap

Looks real nice

[little osprey]

what about TN

[unreal jay]

Bad viewing angles bad colors, cheap to manufacture and easy to get high refresh rates on

[little osprey]

my monitor is TN and I like it

[zealous edge]

@upper cobalt thanks

[unreal jay]

I have an IPS second and a TN main, I always use my second monitor for content because it looks miles better

[little osprey]

TN is good for fn comp?

[unreal jay]

Yes

[upper cobalt]

you alright with a 10700k?

[unreal jay]

It doesn’t matter

[upper cobalt]

better performance

[little osprey]

ohhhh

ok

[zealous edge]

No

Just a 9900k

[upper cobalt]

unless you really need the extra cores

alright for sure

[little osprey]

btw would a 3600X be good with a 1660S?

[unreal jay]

It will not affect performance it just looks good

[little osprey]

Or its too much

[zealous edge]

1700$ CAD btw

[little osprey]

ah ok

[upper cobalt]

why do you want oc cpus so bad

[peak schooner]

Hi

[upper cobalt]

you don’t need x or k series processors if your not gonna oc

[unreal jay]

3600 is better value than 3600x unless there is a deal

[upper cobalt]

it’s a waste of money

[little osprey]

oh

[unreal jay]

I want to post my build in build pics but I don’t want to take pics lol

[little osprey]

There is literally no price difference tho

[unreal jay]

Then get the 3600x if they’re the same price

Also how much is it?

I want to see if it’s overpriced or not

[little osprey]

Would a 9600K be better?

[unreal jay]

I’m not sure

[little osprey]

the 3600 is 243 and the 3600X is 240

[unreal jay]

Ok what currency

[little osprey]

the 2700X aint worth right??

[unreal jay]

Nah

How much

[little osprey]

How much what

[upper cobalt]

how much is the 2700x

[unreal jay]

2700Z

X^

[little osprey]

199

[unreal jay]

Hmm

[upper cobalt]

it’s worth it

[unreal jay]

I think that the 3600 is a better gaming cpu than the 2700x tho, but since it’s $40 cheaper I think I’d go for it

[upper cobalt]

2 more cores 4 more threads

your insane

[little osprey]

or should i get a 9600K instead?

[unreal jay]

No links :(

[little osprey]

9600K or 2700X or 3600X

[upper cobalt]

where did you get 3700x

how much is it

[little osprey]

the 9600K is 192

the 2700X is 199

noo I meant 3600X

[unreal jay]

The 3600x has 21% more performance than the 2700x in fort nite

[little osprey]

9600K or 2700X or 3600X

the 9600K is 192

the 2700X is 199

[upper cobalt]

user benchmark isn’t accurate

get the 9600k

[little osprey]

the 2600X is 249

which one?

9600K?

[unreal jay]

Yes

Better at gaming

[little osprey]

brb

[drifting garnet]

OMG 249 for a 2600x?!

[upper cobalt]

pounds

[unreal jay]

Different currency

[drifting garnet]

Oh

Ok

[unreal jay]

Lol

3600x FOR MSRP?!?!

[upper cobalt]

@little osprey

[drifting garnet]

Wait

[upper cobalt]

are you only doing gaming?

[drifting garnet]

That would be

$330

[unreal jay]

Best deal ever

[drifting garnet]

OMG

[upper cobalt]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nJrgQD

@zealous edge

[zealous edge]

thanks

[upper cobalt]

if you’d be so inclined to answer, why so insistent on a 9900k?

[zealous edge]

Because

[hollow grail]

Userbenchmark says a 9th gen i5 is better than a 2950x

[zealous edge]

already have it

lol

[small osprey]

userbenchmark unreliable

[zealous edge]

Plus its a good cpu

[hollow grail]

It’s literally the worst site

[zealous edge]

can u also add in a case fan

[upper cobalt]

that’s already 1700 cad

[frosty crystal]

Is a 5700xt good for a 2600x btw the 5700xt is 400£

[small osprey]

severley limits upgradablitiy

cant upgrade without switching mobos and maybe ram

[upper cobalt]

yup

should be alright

[zealous edge]

frog

I need 3 case fans then

[little osprey]

no I meant 3600X I wrote wrong XD

[zealous edge]

with an air cooler

and only 1 with a water cooler

the x53 is only 175$ cad

the noctua is 120

and 2 cans fans

so like 160

isnt it just better to get the x53?

[hollow grail]

Why use fans

Just blow on the components

[zealous edge]

lol

[little osprey]

lol

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/4jThmk

Would a h510 case be good enough for this build?

[hollow grail]

Nzxt bad

[upper cobalt]

why get 1 corsair case fan

[zealous edge]

why?

not corsair

[upper cobalt]

get uphere or arctic fans

[zealous edge]

cooler master

[upper cobalt]

or cooler master yeah

[little osprey]

corsair fans are pretty good

[upper cobalt]

they’re not THAT good

it’s like buying a macbook

[little osprey]

I dont need the best fans

I just need something decent

[upper cobalt]

oh my god

[hollow grail]

Everything corsair makes isnt that good

Cept for their ssds

Their ssds kick ass lul

[upper cobalt]

yeah facts

corsair fans are over priced

your paying for a loud crappy fan but with rgb

[hollow grail]

CM for rgb

[zealous edge]

yea

[drifting garnet]

Still ridiculous.

[little osprey]

idc if its loud tho

[hollow grail]

Notcua for actually working as a fan

[little osprey]

I need a good rgb fna

fan

[upper cobalt]

i hope your not like this as an adult

[hollow grail]

Lmao

Inb4 theyre 25

[little osprey]

I aint even an adult tf

[open peak]

checks out

[upper cobalt]

if your gonna get 1 case fan get a noctua fan and put an rgb strip on it

[hollow grail]

Lmaooooo

[little osprey]

lmfao

[hollow grail]

Fr get something from cooler master or rosewill or uphere or darkflash

[little osprey]

Y'all hate so much on corsair jesus crist

[hollow grail]

And also fr corsair ssds are the only good thing they make

[upper cobalt]

you can get a 3 pack of RGB cooler master fans for the same price

[hollow grail]

Cause theyre very poor value?

[upper cobalt]

we’re not hating on corsair

[little osprey]

Ok wait

[upper cobalt]

they’re just not good for the value yeah

[little osprey]

Oh so u talking its bad for the price?

[hollow grail]

Just cause its epic gamer brand gameing 100 reddit 100

[little osprey]

but the fan itself its good or what

[hollow grail]

Doesnt mean its actually good

[upper cobalt]

no

[hollow grail]

The fan is worse

Than cheap fans

[upper cobalt]

the fan is relatively bad

[hollow grail]

That look better

And perform better

While costing less

[little osprey]

Dude,

How are they bad tho?

Just buy a 465x for every 3 LL120s you want

Duh

now you get a case and 3 LL120s!

for only 115$

[zealous edge]

lol

[upper cobalt]

mine blown

[final meadow]

Sup fam, why so much drama this early in the morning

[hollow grail]

If you really want their ugly ass logo on your fans

Then i guess its worth

[little osprey]

Ok so what are the weak points on it?

[little osprey]

uhhhhhh

[hollow grail]

1: bad

[upper cobalt]

it’s loud

it’s corsair

[final meadow]

[little osprey]

Only fans that i have seen compete with corsair fan aesthetic is unifan lol

[upper cobalt]

do i need to say more?

corsair fan boys are like intel fanboys

[hollow grail]

Yeah i was gonna say i like unifan way more

[upper cobalt]

stupid

[little osprey]

Unifans are never in stock

[little osprey]

thats not even a actual reason

[hollow grail]

But tbh i rly dislike most rgb fans in general

[upper cobalt]

they’re loud and cheap

[little osprey]

Corsair fans are just overpriced

[hollow grail]

I fw noctua

[upper cobalt]

you pay for the brand and look

[little osprey]

ok could someone say what is the best fan of corsair?

[hollow grail]

[upper cobalt]

they don’t have multiple different fans

[little osprey]

People who buy just the fans are

[hollow grail]

Gimme those quiet 40mm fans

[open peak]

Thoughts on be quiets silent wings 3? I have two of them in my cpu cooler and they seem real nice so I've been thinking about possibly swapping out my stock case fans for them at some point

[upper cobalt]

like 2 but

just get noctua fans

please

[hollow grail]

Be quiet makes good fans

[little osprey]

if im really ever gonna get LL120s im just gonna buy a 465x take out the fans then sell the case on ebay for 50$

boom

[hollow grail]

Noctua>be quiet>ek

[little osprey]

If U are saying they are bad for being loud and the price ima get it then

i save 50$

[upper cobalt]

genius

[little osprey]

People would scoop that case up instantly too

Really good looking case

[hollow grail]

Lmao waste ur money however u want

[final meadow]

I mean it’s your money at the end of the day

[little osprey]

are QL120 better than LL120?

Same exact fan

But flipped

[hollow grail]

Dont expect anyone who knows what theyre talking about to help enable u tho

[upper cobalt]

your the type of person to say why don’t americans just get free healthcare without actually thinking about the millions in taxes it would impose

[little osprey]

OK SO ARE THEY SLOW OR SOMETHING?

No

[upper cobalt]

they suck

they suck period

[little osprey]

these guys are ngl just hating on the fan because its overpriced

Really only reason its bad

[upper cobalt]

yeah

[little osprey]

thats it? 100%?

[upper cobalt]

it’s overpriced

[little osprey]

yup

[upper cobalt]

it’s not like it’s terrible

but you can get a 3 pack of the same quality fans for the same price

[hollow grail]

If it was terrible they wouldn’t sell

[little osprey]

they by far have the best software imo so it makes up for it

[hollow grail]

U pay for the logo and the software

[little osprey]

WOWOW THAT WAS FACTS

[tight sorrel]

I got LL120s. No issues

[final meadow]

Not really

[hollow grail]

Corsair sells good products but are rarely the best value

[tight sorrel]

Corsair iCUE is really nice.

[upper cobalt]

why doesn’t noctua sell 3 or 6 packs of fans

they would make bank

[little osprey]

thats why u buy stuff on sale

100$ for an h100i at best buy is a steal

[little osprey]

are they loud?

[hollow grail]

Whenever i get 40mm fans theyre noctua

[little osprey]

No

people keep saying its loud asf

[final meadow]

The 1660 super i planned on getting is out of stock

[little osprey]

they're not

[tight sorrel]

not any louder than any other fan I have owned

[little osprey]

the people that say they are loud are dumb and don't know how to make fan curves

hm

[tight sorrel]

I swear the people that say they are loud must have the PC right up next to their ear

[little osprey]

do I need to buy a remote thing whatever it is for the corsair fan?

the people complaining about the pump noise are soooo dumb

[hollow grail]

Idc abt fan noise tbh

[little osprey]

i put my ear on my case right above my radiator with pump spinning at 3000 RPM and i couldn't hear it

[tight sorrel]

no, but you will need one of their cotrollers. They dont plug into mobo argb header, unless you get an MSI board with SPECIFIC corsair header

[upper cobalt]

nope

[little osprey]

ok

so I think my list fine?

Lighting node pro does it no?

[hollow grail]

I have servers lmao u cant own those and care abt fan noise

[tight sorrel]

correct

[little osprey]

do I need to buy anything extra for the fans no?

ruospo you were buying h100i right?

not anymore

only if I get a higher end PC

if u see it on sale for 2/3rds of price buy it

[tight sorrel]

for the RGB, yes. the triple pack comes with the controller. for actual power to make the fans spin, no.

[little osprey]

aw

Fan splitter is like 12$

should I get the triple pack?

if the mobo doesn't have enough headers

[tight sorrel]

IMHO: yes. cos otherwise you have to buy the RGB controller seperately.

[little osprey]

ngl I wanted to get a NZXT case but people say its sooooooooooooooooooooo bad

[tight sorrel]

but as mando suggested, try get it on sale. I did

[upper cobalt]

yeah nzxt cases aren’t the best for airflow

[hollow grail]

Aka bad

[tight sorrel]

Lianli lancool ii mesh / Phantex P400 mesh / Fractal Meshify 2

[little osprey]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/bDG4Bc

[tight sorrel]

yeah, that case is good

[little osprey]

the pc pretty good right?

I am willing to spend around 1k with shipping

[hollow grail]

Tfw 2080mq struggles on cyberpunk

[upper cobalt]

tax as well

[tight sorrel]

pretty good

[upper cobalt]

is it 8 percent in the uk?

[little osprey]

ok so with that list could I do 1080P editing?

[upper cobalt]

for productivity i’d get a ryzen cpu

huh

[little osprey]

why?

[hollow grail]

Depends

[little osprey]

intel can do it too

[upper cobalt]

yeah depends but

[hollow grail]

I like intel more for editing tbh

Quicksync

[upper cobalt]

alright that’s fair

[little osprey]

I do on my shii laptop editing

[hollow grail]

Now i dont like a 9th gen i5 lmao

[little osprey]

lags a lot tho

[hollow grail]

Intel beats it in rendering amd beats it in timeline performance

[hollow grail]

But generally u wanna render with cuda

[upper cobalt]

check me out

[hollow grail]

Speed

[upper cobalt]

@little osprey

is your budget 1100 before taxes?

or total

[little osprey]

Yup

is that pc good enough for fn while streaming 900p?

[hollow grail]

Wdym yup lol

[little osprey]

fn at 160FPs consistent

low settings

[hollow grail]

Eh

[little osprey]

and optimized

is streaming on 720P too bad?

[upper cobalt]

pretty easily

[little osprey]

if not Ima stream on 720

[upper cobalt]

720p is fine

[little osprey]

so that pc is good enough for my needs?

[upper cobalt]

more than enough

[hollow grail]

Ull be fine

[little osprey]

alr

[whole harbor]

@little osprey use nvenc

[hollow grail]

Nvenc is bae

[little osprey]

Yah ik

[frosty crystal]

Is it good to get a 5700xt when the rtx 3060ti is a thing

[hollow grail]

If u can get nvidia dont get amd imo

And

3060ti spanks 5700xt

[wanton cliff]

5700XTs are getting scalped too

I was able to get one right before they were

[hollow grail]

Everything is scalped

Also hi babe

[wanton cliff]

Ohayo Gozaimasu

[hollow grail]

Owo

[frosty crystal]

I have no gpu and I just want too play cyberpunk I has no gpu for 4 months

[wanton cliff]

how many RT cores does the 3060ti have versus 2080s?

[hollow grail]

Playing it rn

Is fun

[wanton cliff]

3060tis are coming in stock more than any other card

[hollow grail]

Looks like ass without rtx

[wanton cliff]

all you need to do is catch them at a good time

[hollow grail]

Amd gpus are trash tier imo

No rtx or dlss

Plus no non gaming features

[wanton cliff]

great for the price tho

[frosty crystal]

I live in the uk it’s hard

[hollow grail]

Eh

I think the price premium of nvidia is just you paying for the ability to do more than just game

[wanton cliff]

why is tomie sad

[hollow grail]

Poor tomie

[wanton cliff]

I think the price premium is them having a monopoly lmao

[hollow grail]

Nah

Rtx

Dlss

Nvenc

Rtx voice

Cuda

[wanton cliff]

and that all creates a monopoly

[frosty crystal]

And i don’t know if the 3060ti is going too bottleneck my 2600x

[wanton cliff]

good that they do have something over AMD though, especially right now

[hollow grail]

True

[wanton cliff]

probably not

thats about r5 3600 performance, right?

[hollow grail]

Amd cards are just awful buys

[frosty crystal]

I play at 1080p

[hollow grail]

Unless all u do is game

[wanton cliff]

oh then youll be fine

[hollow grail]

Or if u mine crypto lol

[wanton cliff]

5 dollars a day vs 3.95 dollars a day

[hollow grail]

Lmao

[wanton cliff]

$500 card vs $1500 card

its weird

[hollow grail]

I remember when i had a vega 64

And my 1060 3gb whipped its ass on encode

[wanton cliff]

fun fact: most of the screens in times square are powered using Vega 64 cards

[coral wasp]

what's up with NO STOCK computer parts

[hollow grail]

They have no stock?

[coral wasp]

video card

memory

processor

[vital warren]

from what i've seen memory is stable

[wanton cliff]

nah there are memory shortages as well

trust me

[coral wasp]

its wild

forget about it with the gforce rtx 3080

is there a difference between the different brands for the 3080?

[little osprey]

I don' think there is shortage on intel cpus
Also the shortages is caused by corona and because it's december
So demand is higher.

[little osprey]

Only difference is:
Factory OC
Temperatures & cooling
And PCB

Thats is the same for every card

[wanton cliff]

otherwise basically the same card

fundamentally

[little osprey]

Ye

Overall you should aim for like a 3080 with decent cooling.

[vital warren]

asus tuf

[wanton cliff]

EVGA Kingpin

for them overclockers

[little osprey]

I wouldn't trust asus tho...just my personal opinion

[wanton cliff]

why?

[little osprey]

Asus did some oopsies before

[wanton cliff]

ah

great boards though

[little osprey]

The boards are fine tho

But if i were to choose card, i would go for sapphire in the amd side
Or evga on the nvidia side

[wanton cliff]

sappphire is 100% the way to go for AMD, should you choose AMD

[sinful hornet]

Gigabyte gang

[little osprey]

Ye
Or the red devil from uh...msi?

[wanton cliff]

powercolor

[little osprey]

Ah

[sinful hornet]

For amd, I’d go with whoever made the 5700xt THIC

Actual card btw

[wanton cliff]

we know

[little osprey]

I wonder if msi gonna revive the armor cards

[wanton cliff]

wonder if Razer is going to be an AIB manufacturer. They are alreay doing cases and literally everything else on the peripheral market, I wouldn't put it past them

might take a few years tho

[blazing aurora]

what's the most difficult component to upgrade in a pc

[little osprey]

Motherboard?

[candid notch]

Motherboard

[gleaming quartz]

really?

i thought the hardest to upgrade was my cpu cooler tbh

[candid notch]

You do a lot of unpluging and replying

[little osprey]

Well, swapping a motherboard for another one takes alot of time.

[candid notch]

And re installing the cpu

[gleaming quartz]

true true

[candid notch]

CPU color

Cooler

Rgb etc

[little osprey]

Depends on the cpu cooler

[gleaming quartz]

i wouldnt really say its difficult per se but it is quite tedious

[candid notch]

Just very time consuming

[gleaming quartz]

yeah

[candid notch]

Then you also have to recable manage

If that even is a word

[quasi snow]

Is it cheating to say case is the hardest to change

[little osprey]

"Pc component"

[candid notch]

Nope

[little osprey]

Idk if a case fits that category.

[candid notch]

Hmmm...

Is it essential?

[little osprey]

A case?

[candid notch]

If it is then yes...

Yes

[gleaming quartz]

well to be fair, a graphics card isnt essential for most motherboards

[little osprey]

Nah

[candid notch]

So then no

[little osprey]

I mean...you gonna need a case.
But you can do works around

[candid notch]

True

[little osprey]

Like one youtuber who made a cardboard case with the mobo box

[candid notch]

Oh yeah

LTT

[little osprey]

LTT did it?

[candid notch]

Yeah

[gleaming quartz]

there was another dude in this server who had all of their components on strings and were hanging them from their ceiling

[candid notch]

Or was it Austin evans

Nts

[little osprey]

I didn't known
I saw another youtuber other than ltt doing it

[candid notch]

Wow

Oh

Well that’s cool

[gleaming quartz]

this is what im talking about lol

[candid notch]

I’ve seen a pc put into a “microwave case”

That all looks like it’s gonna fall

[little osprey]

Psu on bottom then the box as the case

[candid notch]

How would that work

[little osprey]

He actually got it working
And even tested cp2077

[candid notch]

The psu has no way to get intake

Hmm

Yeah I’m surprised that the psu isn’t over heating

[little osprey]

That rgb ram tho

[candid notch]

It looks cooler up close

[little osprey]

It is a 3200g tho

[candid notch]

That’s the video with the cardboard box pc case

By LTT

[gleaming quartz]

spacex lol

[candid notch]

Lol

[gleaming quartz]

that sure does look like a spacex computer to me

[candid notch]

Lol

Does space x use intel or and

That’s the real wit

Question

[little osprey]

For cpus?

[candid notch]

Yes

...

[stoic island]

P sure they make their own

[little osprey]

Well to process data they probally still use xeons
Or they have a custom cpu and mostly likely they do.

[stoic island]

Since Tesla uses their own compute unit

SpaceX prob does the same

[gleaming quartz]

that makes sense

[viral ore]

tesla has their own chip its pretty cool

[candid notch]

Yeah

[gleaming quartz]

considering that would be a waste of time making deals and agreements with these other tech companies when they can easily just make their own

[candid notch]

True

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the spacecrafts were ran off of 30nm processors...

[little osprey]

Well...those big companies mostly likely to use their own chips
Only servers that use like...amd and intel cpus(xeon & epyc)

[candid notch]

Yeah but aren’t all cpus based off of nanometers?

[little osprey]

Uh? You mean transitors? Cpus does need transitors and...yeah?

We really don't known how much their cpus tho

[foggy hazel]

its just custom fcpga solutions

its not bonkers tech as such

[candid notch]

Bruh then wtf is nanometers

Ik

[stoic island]

gate length isn't everything

[viral ore]

bruh its a unit of measurement

mfw someone doesnt know what a meter is

[candid notch]

:/

[balmy patio]

microwaave build - https://pcpartpicker.com/b/HG8Ycf

[sinful hornet]

what the hell happened here

[crude lagoon]

@stoic island

how long should i run it for?

[final meadow]

R5 3600 XT for $300 is it worth?

[little osprey]

id run it for about 30-45 seconds but you could do longer

[crude lagoon]

ran it for 3 mins

started to even out at like 74C 70% fan

[balmy patio]

no

[little osprey]

wow

[deft harbor]

do u guys know a good place to get keycaps for a 65%

[balmy patio]

ask the nerds in #peripherals-and-displays

[wanton cliff]

g.skill makes some good caps

[sinful hornet]

What

[balmy patio]

bruh he was talking about cpu's

[final meadow]

Exactly lol

[balmy patio]

you could get a 5600x at the same price

[sinful hornet]

I’m guessing those are usd prices?

[final meadow]

Where tho, can’t seem to find anything anywhere

[final meadow]

Yep

[sinful hornet]

Jew

*jeez

Lmao

Not Jew

Ffs

[final meadow]

[balmy patio]

bruh 300 bucks for a 3600x is a scam

[agile folio]

is r7 3700x or r5 5600 better?

[final meadow]

Prices these days my man smh

[stoic island]

@crude lagoon 10min will work

[wanton cliff]

I have a small brain

I thought it said 5700 XT somehow

but yeah thats still not worth it

[zealous edge]

Guys

Just have a few questions

[vagrant olive]

ok

[zealous edge]

Should I get better mobo... or better gpu

lol

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nJrgQD

Thats the list

[vagrant olive]

gpu unless theres something rly wrong with ur mobo

[next kestrel]

gpu

wait

uhhhh

i'd suggest the 10600k

and a 10th gen mobo

[zealous edge]

ok

[plain rain]

Is there like a budget specific chat, or is it just here?(sorry to interupt)

[balmy patio]

this is a budget specific chat

sort of

[zealous edge]

Is it better then the 9900k?

[vagrant olive]

just tell us ur budget

and this becomes a budget specific chat

[next kestrel]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/hXw2bh

something like this

[plain rain]

Im tryna figure out a budget to set

just so i can save up

[next kestrel]

z series is good because no ram limit

[zealous edge]

I have a 1750$ CAD budget

basically

Im kinda confused

[next kestrel]

well if you can score a 3070 or a 3060ti or a 6800

[zealous edge]

I cant

No chance

[next kestrel]

that'll become a good choice

[zealous edge]

here in canada

[next kestrel]

yea exactly

[zealous edge]

No chance

[next kestrel]

thats why i said no 5600x either lol

[zealous edge]

Yea

Cuz ima build soon

[next kestrel]

thats a pretty good list then

[zealous edge]

anything I can improve?

[sinful hornet]

Canada is best place to get 3000 series actually

Canada computers

They let you reserve a back ordered card

[zealous edge]

Nah lol

Only instore

and we are in lock down rn

closest store from me is in barrie

[next kestrel]

maybe add a couple case fans?

[zealous edge]

Yea

Ik

But then

isnt it better to just go water?

120 for the cooler

(air)

and then another like 20$ for each fan x 2 is another $40

so thats like 160

for air

and 175 for nzxt kraken x53

$15 more

because I dont need to buy more fans

[next kestrel]

well i was thinking of cheaper fans

but yea that is an option

[zealous edge]

Yea

Its better

Should I get 5600xt

Instead of 5700xt??

[next kestrel]

no?

why would u downgrade ur gpu lol

[wanton cliff]

do you already have a 5700xt?

[zealous edge]

No

Im gonna buy

The nitro plus is expensive

its like $80 more then the gigabyte gaming oc

[wanton cliff]

wait for an Ampere card to come out

[wanton cliff]

well, the Nitro+ (what I currently have) is a better card

[zealous edge]

ik

[little osprey]

Nitro+ have a great cooling
Idk about the gigabyte gaming oc

[zealous edge]

Il just get nitro plus

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nhfzF8

what can i cange?

change*

To make it cost less

[wanton cliff]

wait no

get a 3060Ti

[little osprey]

659$ for a 5700xt?

[zealous edge]

canadian c dollars

[little osprey]

No
Don't get that

[wanton cliff]

even for a Nitro+, thats absurd

[zealous edge]

Ik

its over priced

[severe axle]

thats in cad too

[little osprey]

But even on cad, it's really overpriced though

[zealous edge]

ikik

[wanton cliff]

3060ti

wait for one to be in stock

[zealous edge]

https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_558&item_id=140144

thats the gigabyte one ^

[wanton cliff]

no

3060ti

[zealous edge]

I cant

[wanton cliff]

more powerful, costs less

[zealous edge]

They wont be in stock

I cant wait

any longer

[wanton cliff]

they are in stock more often than any other card

[zealous edge]

Its been too long already

[wanton cliff]

set up a bot or watch Falcodrin's stream on Twitch

[balmy patio]

and why are you getting the kraken when the liquid freezer ii cost less

[wanton cliff]

also krakens kinda suck

[balmy patio]

eh

[wanton cliff]

kinda

[balmy patio]

it's just nzxt aesthetics

[final meadow]

How do you set up a bot? I’m trynna get a 3060ti

[balmy patio]

lmao

[final meadow]

I’m kinda newbie, mb

[zealous edge]

Uptime bot

[wanton cliff]

look up a newegg bot on le interwebs, take one from Github or something, follow the instructions

[zealous edge]

I already have that

lol

joesr

any suggestions then?

change up the list and send it pls

[wanton cliff]

3060ti

im telling you man

cheaper and much better

[zealous edge]

It won't be in stock tho

In a like month

Even the back order

I asked canada computers

[wanton cliff]

then go to EVGA's wait list and set something up

[tender fjord]

3060 ti is king

I got my code to work let's goooooo

[plain rain]

👍

[zealous edge]

performance > asthetics

[hollow dew]

My aio placed on the front. Top 2 fan.

[little osprey]

https://youtu.be/zRKtXp5nDbY

[crude lagoon]

[plain rain]

@crude lagoon danggg, and im over here with 57 frames on overwatch😆

[zealous edge]

[stoic island]

okai

[zealous edge]

Yea

So whats a cheaper mobo lol

@stoic island

[stoic island]

uh

z490 pro4

[crude lagoon]

@stoic island how long should i run prime95?

[zealous edge]

Is that even anygood lol??

[stoic island]

decent

@crude lagoon few min

Make sure it's on smallfft, not blend @crude lagoon

[crude lagoon]

oh gotcha i'll change rn

[zealous edge]

@stoic island Can u build me a 1750$ CAD build please?

That would help lol

i9 9900k

[crude lagoon]

@stoic island maxed out at 83C

my pc actually hasnt crashed at all so far

[candid notch]

What’s a good starter pc that can get me 144 fps on most games while streaming

[vagrant olive]

whats ur budget?

[candid notch]

1000-1500

[zealous edge]

Should I get a mobo

[vagrant olive]

yes you need a mobo to have a working computer

[zealous edge]

Lol

I didn't finish lol mb

I meant to say should get a wifi mobo?

[crude lagoon]

why do u want wifi

[vagrant olive]

@candid notch this is my build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L7gcRT

[crude lagoon]

would u only be getting it for the wifi?

[vagrant olive]

$1250

[zealous edge]

Yes

Only for the wifi

non-wifi is $60 cheaper

[candid notch]

Ok

[crude lagoon]

are you able to route an ethernet cable?

[zealous edge]

Yea

I am

[crude lagoon]

then no

dont get the wifi

cause once you route, you'll be down 60$ for no reason

[zealous edge]

Yea true

il be back

gonna go eat lol

[clever jetty]

can someone make a good 800$ pc for my friend please

it is for gaming

[crude lagoon]

usd? @clever jetty

[unreal jay]

does it support a top aio tho

[clever jetty]

yes

usd

[hollow dew]

Yes in this case support for top too but u need to use aio 240. I used 360mm front. And 2 fan in case I moved on top.

[unreal jay]

ok

ty

i think i might upgrade to it

because my rad w/ fans only fits on the front

h100i

[little osprey]

is the rx570 8gb a good performer with a r5 2600

i need to know

and can it handle 2077 at 90+fps

[upper cobalt]

no

it cannot

[little osprey]

90-60 fps?

[upper cobalt]

i’m just kidding

don’t know

really doubt it looking at how demanding it is

[coral wasp]

i'm torn on the motherboard.. i have the videocard and the intel 10900, but need help on the motherboard

[upper cobalt]

i don’t even think my rig can

[balmy patio]

i made this, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zVnRgt

[clever jetty]

thx @balmy patio

[upper cobalt]

what type of motherboard did you want?

b460 or z490

[severe axle]

no dont get a b series with that cpu

wait

non K?

[upper cobalt]

z490 boards are expensive right now

[balmy patio]

why a z490

wait yeah, if it's a locked cpu why are you getting a mobo chipset with overclocking capabilities

[upper cobalt]

forgot

[little osprey]

Seogotep Gp600 better than cv 650

Or you known...evga br

[little osprey]

Decent build...only the psu that should be swapped

[waxen igloo]

hello im look to upgrade my GPU in the HP Pavilion 570-p064 Desktop PC do you know what GPU would be compatible

[winged tinsel]

Does anyone have a 6800 and has played cyberpunk 2077 with it that i can talk to about how it performs?

Like ask you about how it performs

[little osprey]

@winged tinsel I have a 3060ti but my neighbor and gaming buddy has the 6800 and says it runs great at 1440 without raytracing.

[wanton cliff]

for cyberpunk, Nvidia and DLSS is the way to go. That game is meant for next generation or the generation after that.

[little osprey]

Yeah RT is night and day with Cyberpunk tho

Idk if I could play without it now

Not sure how much the DLSS is helping me because i play at 1080p

[brittle mica]

Could anyone spec me out a good starting computer, im looking to start streaming. If at all possible can the cpu be AMD and the gpu be a 1660 or better. I dont have that much pc knowledge but i know AMD cpu is good for streaming and a 1660 is going to be ok for streaming. For whomever takes on this challenge tysm and my budget is $1400 USD

[little osprey]

just fyi, for that budget you can get more recent and better card than a 1660

For 1400 you can do much better

i'm sorry i gotta go can't do the build right now

[crude lagoon]

@stoic island i think its psu, there's nothing else i dont think
