nice

#

its cool teaching ppl the basics

#

everyones always the most proud of their very first build :))))

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

When I learned it was AGP and ISA and you had to do master slave jumpers on drives. 😛

little osprey Dec 12, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

i was before i got windows reboot loop and my cpu was defective 🙂

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 5:50 AM

They plugged in like a ram stick

#

see

#

that has 2 cpu slots. AGP, 5 PCI (not pcie) and 2 ISA

#

only one cpu slot is populated in the image

little osprey Dec 12, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

Pci x8?

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

thats pentium 2... so i dont know... whatever the first gen was

#

because i could be wrong, but I don't recall PCI existing on Pentium 1

lyric thistle Dec 12, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

Between the CPUs and the PCI slots

#

What is that slot?

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

AGP

#

Accelerated Graphics Port

#

for graphics cards.

Guess I've never glared at an AGP slot alone to know that

(seriously, that is a 4 chip GPU)

Guys, 3600 cl16 > 3200 cl 14?

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

3600 imo

#

speed also reduces apparent latency.

idle geode Dec 12, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

Could you please recommend good 16gb? Or maybe brands to look at

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

but if it's amd don't exceed 3600 unless you are doing custom over clocking.

idle geode Dec 12, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

Intel 🙂

#

Damn it’s so hard to lear everything about building a pc, so many little things..

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

oh well... then, i havn't done any hardcore research on intel lately, ive heard it does not matter and you can go as fast as your mobo will accept, but also going faster does not matter that much on intel

#

but again, im planning an AMD build so it might be worth brushing up if you really really care

#

99.9% of the time you wont notice the difference though.

#

like even if you bought 2400 on accident... the times when it will get you more than like 5fps... is rare

idle geode Dec 12, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

Got it! Thank you very much!

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

but yeah, I would look at your mobo and decide how much you want to spend

#

Trident Z and Ripjaws and Ballistics are the best imo

#

that first one is available in 16gb*

#

those are my top picks

#

ballistics is speed > latency, trident Z is Latency > Speed, and ripjaws is balanced.

So uhhhhhhhh,
I recently got my hands on some shady 3 rammed out servers with some SAS hard drives within them. These are my current numbers:
(1x Proliant Gen9, 2x Proliant Gen8)
4x 600 Gb SAS
8x 450 Gb SAS
8x 300 Gb SAS
Total Gb's: 8.4 Terabytes

8 x 16Gb Ram
48 x 8Gb Ram
Total: 512 Gb Ram

Knowing that server ram and sas hard rives cant really be used to upgrade anything within a gaming rig, is there any way i can use it in the first place? I have booted each of them (they run fine) but i cant seem to get past the startup. I believe that an OS has not been installed on any of them. I've been thinking of selling each hard drive separately for around 50$ or something, but i don't fully know if there is any data in any of them.

eager escarp Dec 12, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

if you're locked out from even booting them you could clear cmos maybe

#

but GL getting the drivers and games to coperate

ashen fulcrum Dec 12, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

If i had 16gb of ram, could i get another 16gb but different brand to make 32gb? Or does it have to be the exact same

chrome echo Dec 12, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

it can be a different brand, but if you want it to look uniform i'd go with the same. Always prioritize cost if thats what is needed first though.

i could acess the HDD and the SSD

#

without having to open the entire thing

#

it was a slider

#

in the bottom

#

still regretting buying this laptop

#

but still all i have now unfortunately

even prebuilt would have been better i think

my current build is an i5 6400 (i want to upgrade this), gtx 1660s asus tuf gaming(upgraded from gtx 960), h170 mobo (i believe i should upgrade this), 550w gold rated psu evga supernova ga (i upgraded this from a 450w bronze), my case is a y700-34ish Type 90DG (i believe i need to upgrade this) 16 gb ram 2133 hz (i would rather not upgrade this)

my goal is to just play world of warcraft near max if not max settings at 1080p 144hz

That mobo doesn't seems bad but if you going for a K chip, go for z390

Yeah but still if you can get k chip for cheap, it's great.
Like 9700k or 9600k

some say it can't

#

anyone has any experience with this?

verbal quarry Dec 12, 2020, 3:15 PM

Isn't intels newest cpu a i9?

#

I've lost track

little osprey Dec 12, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

little osprey can the 1050ti handle VR

Yes it can
But depends on the game.

#

Also depends on your headset resolution of each screen aswell.

#

But shouldn't be a big factor tho.

It probably doesn't support over 16

#

honestly

#

it comes with a 3060ti

#

worth it

#

oof

#

but

#

it actually has a b450

#

so thats kinda rough

#

damn

#

nzxt actually has prebuilt game

#

how they make profit off this

#

although if you can get a 3060ti i still do believe might be cheaper to build it

#

not sure

foggy hazel Dec 12, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

@frosty hinge IF you can accept the trade-offs with the prebuilts, then yes-ish.

Do keep in mind what their build time is, both for custom and prebuilts

fossil halo Dec 12, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

i mean for the type of pc that is

#

i would say for a first time builder

#

maybe like 5-6 hours

#

not including breaks

hollow grail Dec 12, 2020, 5:00 PM

and also nzxt doesnt do the best job building

fossil halo Dec 12, 2020, 5:00 PM

really?

prebuilts are extremely viable rn though

plus youre getting stuck with that case

#

something to keep in mind. I have had talks with people that could not be bothered trying to source their own 3080's, so they went with prebuilts. They just forgot to notice the 4+6 week build time that the companies mentioned in very small print

hollow grail Dec 12, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

yeah naed i feel u

#

thats where prebuilts become less viable

foggy hazel Dec 12, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

not me, i dont care

#

just putting it out there. Because build time IS a part of prebuilds

hollow grail Dec 12, 2020, 5:03 PM

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

isnt it where u plug a usb with download bios

#

and it slef updates

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

thats just bios update and u can use a usb on the mobo to do that

#

u would do that from within the bios

#

but it should be zen 3 ready

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

ok does i thave that feature

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

yeah

#

wait so is there a problem

#

ik

#

i am going to chnage it to 3080

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

I mean it will just most likely need a bios update

#

which are usually easy to do

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

can the usb method work?

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

u just use a different computer, plug in usb into other pc, download update for bios then plug usb into new pc and then go to bios and update bios

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

you may want to get a better cpu cooler if ur going to overclock it

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

its for gamming and streaming

#

i dont think i wan tto overclok it

#

should I?

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

ah ok then the stock fan should be enough

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

ok

#

also how many intake fans

#

and exhaust

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

I mean you could but I would only do it after doing research

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

ok

#

and where should they go

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

the 011 dynamic needs minimum of 6 fans

#

intake at bottom

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

ik

#

i got 9

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

exhaust at top

#

intake on side

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

wait why intake at bottom

#

is that good

#

how is my cpu going to get it

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

because heat rises

#

cool air comes from lower

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

ok

#

also what way is intake a exhaust

ripe wedge Dec 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

you could also do exhaust for side fans

ember creek Dec 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic - Best Fan Configuration

I wasn't happy with the fan configuration used in my original build https://youtu.be/OaTEgeI_JFw due to thermal performance and I wasn't happy with the changes I made to improve this in my thermal testing video https://youtu.be/DcMVmLBTVMs due to aesthetics, so I have come up with a new configuration that does both and in my opinion is the best...

Yes

rich helm Dec 12, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

Is the power supply on

gleaming elk Dec 12, 2020, 9:47 PM

What psi and what graphics card and cpu

Psu

Like how many watts is it

That should be enough

#

Do the fans spin when you press the power button

gleaming elk Dec 12, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

Not at all

#

Could it be the io connector

rich helm Dec 12, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

Have you checked to see if the front io button is connected

#

Maybe

#

Usually bottom right of motherboard

gleaming elk Dec 12, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

Yeah i got that but do you know how the pin connectors get grouped together

#

Thats what i think might be it

rich helm Dec 12, 2020, 9:50 PM

Has it worked before or did you just build it

gleaming elk Dec 12, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

Just built

rich helm Dec 12, 2020, 9:50 PM

You should check your motherboards manual or check for markings on the motherboard

@gleaming elk check your manual.

always the first place to look
