earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

i have the AORUS ELITE

#

it's more than enough to max out an overclocked 5950x while also being the cheapest of the stack

#

at least it should be

#

AORUS PRO AC can be worth it if you want the built in wifi

#

i got my AORUS ELITE for 150 usd it's a good board

warm swift Dec 11, 2020, 5:16 AM

i guess ill get AC just incase

earnest olive i got my AORUS ELITE for 150 usd it's a good board

yeah ik, heard its a good mb

earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

it's not much difference from ELITE, i think PRO has a better sound card

#

and AC means has wifi

#

it's a good choice anyways

#

second question?

choose which one you think looks better between H500 and 220T

earnest olive don't even look at the other ones

ok i guess ill get the 220T for myself, and for my brother ill get H500, but the problem is that the 220T comes with 3 SP120 Fans, but the 465X comes with 3 ll120 fans

None of the cables that came with my psu fit. They say rg34 on the side. It's the shapes that don't match, and when I look online to buy some none of them really mention those shapes

earnest olive make sure the side you're plugging into the board says CPU on it

sips im really sorry for annoying you but the psu i showed you, the one im getting Bitfenix whisper m should i get the 850w or 750w?

earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:48 AM

whats the price difference

you have 3080 with what cpu?

warm swift Dec 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

5900x

earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

750w is enough but i'd get 850w if the price isn't too much higher

#

might as well

warm swift Dec 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

price difference is 150, and 135

earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

yeah i'd get the 850w

warm swift Dec 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

alright

earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

$15 isn't bad

#

idk how expensive electricity is in egypt

warm swift Dec 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

yeah its a good price where i am

earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

but you'd be running at a better point in the efficiency curve

#

so you'll save money on electricity bill over time

#

and also more headroom for future upgrades or whatever

#

only $15 is not a big deal

warm swift Dec 11, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

nah thats fine, dont worry about that electricity bill, what matters that im getting the better one, and plus if i needed to upgrade something, id still have enough watts

earnest olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

well the point is

#

it might end up saving you more than $15 over its lifespan anyways lol

if electricity is more expensive in egypt it could be more than $15

pull the EPS cable from the back so the curve is a bit tighter on the cable

Is it better to get 2 1tb nvme ssds or 1 2tb or the same

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

if you have a actual need for handling projects that are bigger than what fits on a 1tb drive, then a 2tb is the obvious solution

#

but if you are just talking for games?

#

its a question of convenience and cost

fringe wharf Dec 11, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

Just games and stuff

#

Cause I see deals for 2 1tbs and the sometimes a 2tb on sale so I was just wondering if one was better than the other

should I just spend a bit more and get a b550 instead

Thermal paste doesn't really go bad other than drying up, if it's a dry mess, don't use it, if it looks fine, should be fine.

x570 and b550 are basically the same

wicked frigate Dec 11, 2020, 4:50 PM

But which one is better

vagrant olive Dec 11, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

what other components than that

gleaming quartz Dec 11, 2020, 4:55 PM

depends on what cooler you have for overclocking

*cpu cooler

#

and of course some other things but the cpu cooler is one of the most important necessities for overclocking

plain rain Dec 11, 2020, 4:56 PM

I know the system can get overheated if the cooler isn't good, but idk if my GPU can be overclocking

I don't think it is but i don't really know

Also can't find much info about that psu and seems very cheap so...i wouldn't trust it.

and i have exactly 300 give or take 10 dollars

and better suggestions

i mean i was thinking of moving up but i wanted one that was 80+ bronze

Yeah but awlays be cautious with cheap psus tho

unless there are exclusives on pc that you are playing, I think you'd get way better performance with a $300 console

sure pcmr but at $300?

no it is for valorant

300$ could get you like a xeon system+used 570

But a entirely new system? Nah.

plucky oar Dec 11, 2020, 5:48 PM

and the plan is in a couple of months to throw in a 1660s

it would be the same specs but i couldnt upgrade it

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 5:50 PM

plucky oar Dec 11, 2020, 5:51 PM

the whole reason i am doing this is because i dont trust alot of used hardware

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 5:51 PM

Used hardware is pretty good if you are on a budget

plucky oar Dec 11, 2020, 5:51 PM

i know

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 5:52 PM

Not so much on psus...used psus might not be worth

plucky oar Dec 11, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

well i know that and i also know that used cases are bad

#

but there is to much that can go wrong in my opinion

#

like a bent pin in a socket

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Probally

#

Depends on the person selling the used hardware

plucky oar Dec 11, 2020, 5:53 PM

yeah there is that two

#

i mean i was also looking at something like just getting parts of the system and i found a 300 dollar 8700k and z370 tachi combo and i was tempted

#

because despite the common opinion, the 8700k is still a good cpu for what i do

@little osprey r u gonna overclock anything

plucky oar Dec 11, 2020, 6:13 PM

i mean in his description he just said that he was going ryzen but i would think that he did do ocing otherwise he would just have an 8700

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Probally
But better to ask him and check if the hardware is not defective aswell

balmy patio Dec 11, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

i mean it looks good overall

#

the stock cooler is good enough for the 3600

#

and if he needs mass storage he could go with a 4tb 5400rpm drive instead of the 2tb 7200rpm

#

and keep the 500gb nvme drive to boot and to keep stuff that needs to be accessed quickly

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 6:17 PM

merry bear Which monitor is better this one: https://www.newegg.com/black-samsung-odyssey-g...

the samsung.

#

only for price tho

#

if ur a competitive gamer u should do 1080p 360hz if ur aiming at a monitor over 700$

merry bear Dec 11, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

on amazon its $750

#

the dell one

arctic jungle Dec 11, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

which one should i get

arctic jungle Dec 11, 2020, 7:23 PM

r u a competitive gamer?

merry bear Dec 11, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

well i play mostly minecraft, so not really

#

arctic jungle Dec 11, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

then why waste 700$ on a monitor

#

pointless

merry bear Dec 11, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

i just wanna know which one is better

#

well i am competitive on hypixel

#

which one better]

arctic jungle Dec 11, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

144hz and 240hz is a 2% difference most people can't notice... u can just get a 1440p144hz monitor, and if ur really a competitive gamer, buy a 1080p 240hz monitor.

#

haha

cursive wharf Dec 11, 2020, 7:25 PM

wont matter on an MC server

arctic jungle Dec 11, 2020, 7:25 PM

so, yes, a 850w is plenty fine

because new part prices are not favourable for that low a budget at the moment

amen

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

@woeful herald the rest of the list is "okay". I am guessing that you are building it for how it "looks" instead of for performance?

woeful herald Dec 11, 2020, 7:45 PM

ehh kinda

as i said im not the best with computer

computers

odd crypt Dec 11, 2020, 7:46 PM

@woeful herald if i look at your list with a "performance as the primary focus" eye. then you are spending about 250 usd on things that are not needed

Yeah

its out on some boards already iirc

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

On which because i have a z490 unify

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 7:49 PM

look on the manufacturers site for your board, check the bios updates

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 7:49 PM

Ok i will do it.By the way i got my 10900k for 480€

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 7:50 PM

@woeful herald before i dig into your list. When are you hoping/planning to actually build it?

woeful herald Dec 11, 2020, 7:50 PM

next year or so

not too soon but not too late

@blazing aurora should be fine

fine unless its a really bad psu

@little leaf the CX is a okay model :)

@little leaf same

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

@woeful herald i know this might sound like i am being lazy, but come back about 1-2 weeks before you are ready to buy

#

and hopefully at that time stock has settled in some more

#

and prices are not as bonkers as they are now

little leaf Dec 11, 2020, 7:52 PM

Oh I was just wondering I didn't scroll up

@woeful herald none of that changes what i said above :)

nom

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

the more you can wait right now, the saner the prices will be

#

because stock will NOT be worse in a couple of weeks

woeful herald Dec 11, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

yeah ik but i just wanted to know like how everything looked and what you would recommend to save money and still have on par performance

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

basically, strip the "fancy for the sake of looking fancy" case, that will save you a good 50-70 usd

#

strip the AIO, go air cooler = save another 50-70

woeful herald Dec 11, 2020, 7:55 PM

strip the fancy for the sake of fancy ram = save another 50 usd

little leaf Dec 11, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

why the really pricey aio

#

also why samsung ssd

#

also only a 3070

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

but again, as mentioned, its better to fix your list when you are closer to actually buying

little leaf Dec 11, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

you realize your list is 2.2k after tax

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

aio pricey idk y

#

yes

#

i bought more than half the things already

little leaf Dec 11, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

after tax its like 2.4k

#

lol you have a 3070 in a 2.4k system

#

I have a 3070 in a 1.1k system

I guess the follow up question would be where to but them?

little leaf Dec 11, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

I would go amd

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

that would be a drive caddy @rigid sandal

#

or drive sled

#

its varies from manufacturer to manufacturer

desert gulch Dec 11, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

they call them drive trays here

rigid sandal Dec 11, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

@foggy hazel, greatthank you!

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

you are very welcome

#

aye @desert gulch that is indeed another version/variant

desert gulch Dec 11, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

yo @foggy hazel is it better to put a m.2 next to cpu, except that socket doesnt have a heatsink, or better to put it on lower end of board, with the m.2 socket having a heatsink?

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

next to cpu is generally the higher pci-e version

#

(ofc, depends on platform etc)

#

and the heatsink part is generally very very overrated :)

desert gulch Dec 11, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

lol yeah

#

both of the pci-e port on my board are the same version, so i went for farther away but under heatsink

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

:)

#

nothing wrong with that @desert gulch

desert gulch Dec 11, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

yeah

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

ofc, depending on board, the second slot might disable sata ports etc

desert gulch Dec 11, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

i heard closer to cpu is better bc of less distance one time

foggy hazel Dec 11, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

again, yes, you can probably measure it in a benchmark

#

but does it actually matter? no

desert gulch Dec 11, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

and yeah i hardly use sata ports

cobalt tiger Dec 11, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

Yo, anybody knows if it is required to get a pump for an aio cooling system

#

I see in some people don’t install tubes and pump for an aio liquid cooling and they only install the radiator

#

So please if anyone knows hit me up

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

an aio has everything in it

severe axle Dec 11, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

@cobalt tiger its an all-in-one

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

^

#

thats what aio stands for

severe axle Dec 11, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

pump is either on cpu block or radiator

cobalt tiger Dec 11, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

So getting pump is optional?

severe axle Dec 11, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

no

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

its in the aio

cobalt tiger Dec 11, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

Wait so u mean some radiators require pump and some don’t

severe axle Dec 11, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

and wym by tubes not being installed

#

the pump is already there

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

an aio has the pump installed onto it already

severe axle Dec 11, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

aio is a closed loop

cobalt tiger Dec 11, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

Am confused rn lol, cuz like if it’s an aio why do some people get tubes and pump installed in there system?

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

thats custom liquid cooling

cobalt tiger Dec 11, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

So there’s are not an aio

#

Right?

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

those are not aios

#

but they still use radiators

#

and pumps

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this is an aio

#

it has the pump and everything in it

cobalt tiger Dec 11, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Can u show me a pic of like a radiator that needs a pump

#

Please

#

I want to learn about those stuff

little osprey Dec 11, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

📎 518EIYIhsL.png

#

well this is a reservoir and it has the pump in it

#

and a radiator used for water cooling

📎 616IADIg-qL.png

#

i dont know much about water cooling myself tbh

#

so if you plan on going custom water cooling. please find someone that specializes in it because a lot can go wrong if you dont do it right

#

well only one major thing would be leaks
