chipset/lan/wifi/bluetooth <- the last 3 of those should be installed automatically by windows

but, generally, have a look in your devicemanager

[half night]

I having the infamous CPU EZ debug light issue for the MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk with a Ryzen 7 5800X even after a BIOS flash from a USB thumb drive seems successful. Anyone aware of any other tricks to try and force this board to see my CPU?

[stoic island]

infamous eh?

[zealous edge]

Can someone build me a 700-900 cad build please

[whole forum]

Lets go I just finished my build and I'm using it right now

[zealous edge]

nice

Im build a new pc and I want to use the ssd for a boot without buying a new one
Am I able to delete all the files from the ssd(even windows if I have to) to use it for my new build
from the bois
of the new pc?

@stoic island

@foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

you can do that from the usb stick you will be using to install windows from

[zealous edge]

I mean

If the ssd has files on it

I dont want those files on my new pc

So on the bios of my new build, am I able to delete the ssd right there?

@sullen spoke

[rugged pier]

When you install windows from the USB it should wipe that drive like I wiped the USB when you made the setup. Key word "SHOULD"

It*

[tame hazel]

should I put 360mm radiator in the front of case or top? case is thermaltake level 20 xt

[random wagon]

how do you get wifi if your motherboard doesn’t come with t i’m new

[zealous edge]

Can anyone confirm this lol

[rugged pier]

You have to buy a wifi adapter for you're computer it will seat on the motherboard

[zealous edge]

It Should..

[rugged pier]

Just like the graphics card

[zealous edge]

But can I wipe the drive from the bios?

[rugged pier]

I have done it before and it completely wiped my drive

[random wagon]

oh ok then i just connect wifi?

[zealous edge]

ok so

[zealous edge]

Was the drive plugged into the new build?

[rugged pier]

Not that I know of you would have to do something like partition the drive and wipe it fully

Yeah

[zealous edge]

ok

But can you delete a drive from bios.

On a new build

[rugged pier]

Once I selected it, it had nothing when I got the computer finished

Not sure too much on that

@random wagon yes just like you would a console

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge stop @ random techies for the next part of your question

and you missed the point

[zealous edge]

wym

Naed

[foggy hazel]

i mean that @zealous edge

dont do that.

[viral ore]

so thats why i got a ghost ping

[foggy hazel]

dunno Sassy

[mossy plaza]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-radeon-rx-5600-xt-dual-rx5600xt-t6g-evo/p/N82E16814126428?Description=amd radeon 5600 xt&cm_re=amd_radeon 5600 xt-_-14-126-428-_-Product

could this work with a intel i5 and not bottle neck?

also should I buy this?

[little osprey]

if the i5 was made after 2015 it shouldn't

[mossy plaza]

hm ok

[little osprey]

Really depends on the chip

[mossy plaza]

idk if I'm gonna buy it though

[zealous edge]

How come?

[mossy plaza]

since the 1 star reviews and some of the high star reviews make it look crappy

[zealous edge]

So then will I be able to use my old ssd on my new build?

[little osprey]

Yes

[foggy hazel]

as i said when you asked the first time

:)

[zealous edge]

Ok

So I use the usd and install windows to the same drive I want to delete correct

[little osprey]

🤦‍♂️

[foggy hazel]

no

[little osprey]

You boot with the USB

and you can wipe the ssd from there

[zealous edge]

Oh ok

[foggy hazel]

which is what has been mentioned to you a couple of times now @zealous edge

[zealous edge]

Sorry

[foggy hazel]

this was about you doing random @, and the reason for NOT doing it, is that there is no reason to directly ping more techies when you already have the attention of one.

[zealous edge]

Kk

So I use the USB to boot

But do I unplug all other storage devices on the forst startup?

Sorry

[foggy hazel]

its recommended that you only have the drive you plan on installing windows on, plugged in

[zealous edge]

Ok

But it already has windows as well as other files on it

[foggy hazel]

and?

[zealous edge]

So il get the USB with the windows installer.

And boot off of the USB with windows installer?

[foggy hazel]

yes

[zealous edge]

Ok

[foggy hazel]

and during the install PROCESS you have the option for a custom install

that is what you want, because doing that allows you to remove the original partition

[zealous edge]

Ohhhhhh ok

Ty man

[foggy hazel]

you are welcome.

[zealous edge]

So then it will install to that drive and will delete everything else as well as the previous windows correct?

[foggy hazel]

no

please read what i said above

[zealous edge]

What do you mean by removing other partition

@foggy hazel

[little osprey]

The windows you have on the USB drive

Plug it in

Go to bios

Set it as boot drive

[zealous edge]

Ok

[little osprey]

Boot

Wipe the SSD

DO NOTHING ELSE

[zealous edge]

Wipe the ssd how

[little osprey]

Its booting off the USB drive

[zealous edge]

Yea ik

[little osprey]

Go to my discord call

[zealous edge]

Hold on

Gtg eat

After

[little osprey]

I'll just put a video

When you go to recycle you can repeat the process

Very low res so i could put it in discord

my friend is looking for a 1000$ build is this a good option

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WHBbTJ

it is more that 1000 but i imagine thats because of the weird prices

Change the Ram to 3600mhz

[vital warren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4JBhP6/crucial-ballistix-rgb-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k8g36c16u4bl

[ripe wedge]

@final meadow did ya decide on what ya wanna do?

[final meadow]

yep, i did buy the list you sent

after some research all the reviews between the r5 3600 and the i5 said "get the one you get cheaper"

[ripe wedge]

ah nice

[final meadow]

thanks for the help!

[ripe wedge]

np

only thing is u wont be able to oc it

but you do have a Z490 mobo so u can upgrade in the future if u want

[final meadow]

ye, i will upgrade in case i need to

and im getting a Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600w

80+ gold

[ripe wedge]

ah hold on let me check the tier list. i think iirc that one is decent

[final meadow]

i think it was b tier list

[ripe wedge]

nope

its C tier low priority/ issues

I would steer clear of it

can u cancel the order on that?

[final meadow]

I havent ordered it

[ripe wedge]

ah

good

maybe look at getting a Corsair psu

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

heres the tier list btw

[final meadow]

theres Corsair CV650

80+ bronze

its in my budget also

[ripe wedge]

yeah thats good

I have the CV450 in my second build

its been running fine

[final meadow]

its tier C tho

[ripe wedge]

yeah should be fine but whats your budget for a psu?

[final meadow]

max 80

i dont mind it not being modular

[little osprey]

@ripe wedge do you have a i7 10700k?

[final meadow]

or semi

[ripe wedge]

yeah I have a 10700K

[ripe wedge]

and ah ok

[little osprey]

why intel tho

[ripe wedge]

because I couldnt get my hands on amd 5000

but I dont care

[little osprey]

fair

[ripe wedge]

10700K still super powerful

[little osprey]

yeah it is

[ripe wedge]

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-cv-series-cv650-cp-9020211-na-650w/p/N82E16817139249? @final meadow yeah this is good +$20 mail in rebate

[little osprey]

in my opinion intel doesn't make bad cpu's its just that price to performance inst great

if prices were lower then they would be doing better

[ripe wedge]

yep but I have mine ocd to 5.1ghz so mine is pretty decent

all core

[little osprey]

i use and amd stock cooler so i cant do much oc

[ripe wedge]

ah I have Z73 kraken cooler

when playing cyberpunk it stays around 65C

[little osprey]

yeah i kinda need a aio

[ripe wedge]

same for my gpu

[little osprey]

thermals are NOT good

[ripe wedge]

but my room do be hot tho

[little osprey]

what aio you reccomend?

[ripe wedge]

uh hmm

I mean if u want max cooling for cheaper get a noctua cooler

not an aio

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U12S-Premium-Cooler-NF-F12/dp/B00C9EYVGY

like this

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-heatpipe-NF-A15-140mm/dp/B00L7UZMAK/ or go big boi and get this

[woven sinew]

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07CVL2D2S?tag=zttcanada-20

Thoughts?

[ripe wedge]

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U9S-chromax-Black-Single-Tower-Cooler/dp/B08HH6G48J/ @final meadow just was thinking and found this one, if you dont like the brown fan on the noctua cooler u could get this

@woven sinew its eh

I mean it will be fine but id recommend getting a 144hz

[woven sinew]

Ok

Will it run fortnite good tho?

[final meadow]

does the intel come with a cooler ?

[ripe wedge]

yeah but its not great

[final meadow]

i plan on using the stock for now and upgrading to a liquid cooler by march or april since temperatures in my room get pretty high starting those months

[ripe wedge]

yeah it would but if ur playing competitively you might want a higher refresh monitor like 144hz

[woven sinew]

Thanks Bro

[ripe wedge]

ah ok well if you get it and the temps arnt great then upgrade

[final meadow]

what would be a dangerous temp? over 60 ?

while gaming

[balmy patio]

lmao that's normal temps while gameing and heavy loads

[final meadow]

70-80 then?

[woven sinew]

Thoughts?

[balmy patio]

i would say about 90 or high 80's

[woven sinew]

Bro

I send a link

[balmy patio]

lmao

[woven sinew]

And mee6 comes like

[final meadow]

^

[woven sinew]

Is it bad or good

Its my friend

[final meadow]

not good for 1080p

[woven sinew]

he asking for advice

of it

[final meadow]

you need at least 4gb

[woven sinew]

To run fortnite?

[balmy patio]

i mean i would use it if i needed screens but not for gameing

[woven sinew]

At good ?

[woven sinew]

okay

[final meadow]

i got this one

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-1660-super-tuf-gtx1660s-o6g-gaming/p/N82E16814126359?Item=N82E16814126359

[balmy patio]

at least get a 1650

[final meadow]

he might want to turn on auto notifications

[balmy patio]

what's your friend's budget

[woven sinew]

under 100 he said he can go a bit more

He said its need to be compatible

[balmy patio]

that's tight

[woven sinew]

with optiplex 7010

[woven sinew]

I was thinking so

[final meadow]

like, really tight

[woven sinew]

Uh

Wait ima ask him

[final meadow]

search on youtube something like

[woven sinew]

He said its his first one so he said he can go maybe 180 Cad

[final meadow]

400 dollar pc xbox series x killer

[woven sinew]

Im ps4 tho-

[final meadow]

those builds are focused on tight budgets

that could help him

[balmy patio]

https://www.newegg.com/dell-7010-sff/p/N82E16883165399 this ?

[woven sinew]

yeah

But it has to be canada

he said

[balmy patio]

he already has a graphics card similar to the 750ti i believe

[woven sinew]

oh

he asking if there is a other better vid card

Canadian

[balmy patio]

tbh he won't really see a difference, since he already has a cheap card

tell him to save up more money to add in a 1650

[woven sinew]

ok

[ripe wedge]

100C is dangerous

below that is fine

[ripe wedge]

u gotta be lvl 3 to send links

[final meadow]

Cool

[woven sinew]

MK

[final meadow]

I'll get Corsair's H100i Pro if i see its too hot during summer

[ripe wedge]

ah nice

that will be fine

I have the Z73 kraken lol

big expensive boi

[balmy patio]

sheesh

[clever eagle]

how do you lower your pc temps

[woven sinew]

do u have more server boost?

[balmy patio]

using a better cooler, more/better fans, etc

[clever eagle]

you can tell by my pfp that my temps skyrocket

[balmy patio]

show a pic of the build or sum sort to refer to it

[clever eagle]

it is a laptop so cant rly do much

[balmy patio]

ahhh

is it old

[woven sinew]

Probably-

[balmy patio]

if so then open it up, clean it, and replace thermal paste

something else you can do is add a thick thermal pad and use it in a fridge

[clever eagle]

nope its 2 yr old

[balmy patio]

then it's old

[clever eagle]

how

[balmy patio]

has it ever been cleaned

[clever eagle]

yes

[balmy patio]

when was the last time

[clever eagle]

3 weeks ago

[balmy patio]

can you feel hot air coming out of it

[clever eagle]

yes

[balmy patio]

oh wait

[clever eagle]

i think my desk will melt

[balmy patio]

90 degrees is normal for a laptop

while gaming ofc

[clever eagle]

IT WAS ROBLOX

[woven sinew]

roblox*

[clever eagle]

yes

[balmy patio]

what laptop do you have

[clever eagle]

lenovo ideapad 130-15ikb

[royal forge]

Life is hard finding a graphics card

[clever eagle]

thats true

[woven sinew]

Yes

[balmy patio]

bruh ideapads are thin

is urs a thin one?

[clever eagle]

no

[zealous edge]

@foggy hazel By choosing custom install after I boot from USB, what does that do to the drive

Or @little osprey

[little osprey]

🤦‍♂️

[zealous edge]

Lol

I'm sorry

But I need to get this right.

So Firsy

I connect my ssd with all the data on it already

[clever eagle]

yes

[zealous edge]

And no others drives obviously

Then

Then I also plug my USB with the windows installer on it

Then I turn on the new pc

And select the USB as a boot device.

[clever eagle]

ok

[zealous edge]

After that I dont understand how I can delete everything on the ssd

[clever eagle]

load in windows

[zealous edge]

From the USB

But I have to select the USB as boot.

Then install windows?????

Cuz it asks what drive

You want to install

And Naed

Said choose custom

Then what lol

If I select to install windows on the ssd with stuff on it as well as windows

Will it delete everything

[hollow grail]

Yes

[zealous edge]

Ok

Got iy

@little osprey

Is that right?

Or Naed

Can you please check this is right?

[balmy patio]

it is right

that's storage woman

she knows about stuff

[blazing aurora]

can you repair a gpu with it's PCI-E attachment fried?

[zealous edge]

Ok

[zealous edge]

Tha ks

[little osprey]

YOURE TELLING ME YOU NEVER HAD WINDOWS ON THE USB???

[zealous edge]

So @hollow grail I just need to Plug my ssd in with stuff already downloaded on it, and it also has windows downloaded on it(because this is the drive I want to fresh install windows on again) I plug in my USB with the windows installer downloaded on it, and select the USB as the boot device. Once I go into the windows installer I select custom install and choose the ssd with windows already on it that I want to reinstall windows on. And by doing this is will erase all other things on the ssd and will install windows again on it and it will be a clean drive right?

[zealous edge]

Wym?

[hollow grail]

Yes

[zealous edge]

Ok

[hollow grail]

Everything will be gone

[zealous edge]

Alri ty

[little osprey]

my brain hurts

[foggy hazel]

wrong

if the partition is not deleted, there will be left over data on the drive

hence the custom

[hollow grail]

Yeah delete all the partitions

If you want 100% fresh

[little osprey]

He couldn't figure out how to delete a file

[hollow grail]

Oh dear

[hoary lichen]

🗿

[hollow grail]

[little osprey]

I posted a video of me deleting a test folder

[hollow grail]

L m a o

[foggy hazel]

please consider the tone :)

[hoary lichen]

Forgot my motherboard didnt come with wifi or Bluetooth so i bought a wifi card on amazon arriving tomorrow 🗿

[little osprey]

Why

[hoary lichen]

I would have to hook up a 100 ft ethernet cable

And im lazy

🗿

[little osprey]

100ft?

[hoary lichen]

Yea

[little osprey]

how big is ur house

[hoary lichen]

Big

🗿

[little osprey]

and u dont have ethernet run

Huh

[hollow grail]

More than 100ft

[foggy hazel]

30+ meters of cat cable is not really much when you consider it has to follow walls etc

[hoary lichen]

Ill set it up later on don’t worry about it

For now im just going to use wireless

[little osprey]

all my ethernet is run through the attic

[hollow grail]

Lmao naed u don't just have the cable going in a straight line to the target?

Wow look at mister fancy actually caring abt what they do

[little osprey]

Then fished through the wall

[zealous edge]

Ohh man l

Ol

Lol

[hoary lichen]

Bro my attic is too big

[hollow grail]

My whole house is wired but only at gigabit

[foggy hazel]

considering that would mean that the CAT would be running through a living room or kitchen for a lot of people ? no, you dont just run it straight.

[hollow grail]

Lmao naed that's part of the fun

[hoary lichen]

Ill run a ethernet cable in the attic in atleast 2 weeks

[little osprey]

U don't have fiber?

[hollow grail]

U haven't lived till your cable routing has hospitalized a family member

[little osprey]

absolute beta

[foggy hazel]

no, that is part of wanting accidents to happen. And if that is how you want to solve things on your end? you do you.

[hollow grail]

I have 10gbps hooked up to nas

Naed let me be silly I'm having a bad day

[hoary lichen]

Tbh i could’ve just used a wifi powerline adapter

🗿

[foggy hazel]

@hollow grail that is what #general-chat is for

its filled with silly

[zealous edge]

How am I supposed to delete the files when I'm booting off the USB and not the ssd

And the USB has windows installer

[hoary lichen]

Bruh

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge during the windows install itself.

[hoary lichen]

Yea

[hollow grail]

True but I'm also helping

[zealous edge]

Ohhj

Got u

[hoary lichen]

Click on the partition and click wipe or something

I didnt read mine

[zealous edge]

During the windows installer thats why u select custom right??

[hollow grail]

Nah u delete it

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge which has been mentioned to you 4+ times now, so please read what we are saying.

[little osprey]

Im gonna crush my skull under a waffle iron

[hoary lichen]

I just did what i needed to do

[zealous edge]

I'm just not taking it in for some reason lol

[hollow grail]

Select custom, delete the partitions, install windows on the empty drive, profit.

[zealous edge]

Ok

So after I delete partitions I just select install windows on this drive

And thats it

[hollow grail]

Reminder all files will go bye bye

[zealous edge]

Ik

[hollow grail]

Then yea

[hoary lichen]

Im keeping my usb with the windows installer in it

🗿

Just in case a friend needs it

[hollow grail]

I have like 5tb of windows lol

[foggy hazel]

technically you have to delete 3 partitions @zealous edge

[hollow grail]

And a multiboot with most versions

[zealous edge]

Why?

[hollow grail]

Naed I'd say we shouldn't make this complicated

[foggy hazel]

because there are 3 partitions ON the drive.

[zealous edge]

Okok

[foggy hazel]

@hollow grail its not making it complicated. its doing what he asked for.

[hollow grail]

Just keep clicking delete till all you see unallocated space

[zealous edge]

So all the partitions show when I select custom correct?

[hollow grail]

Yes

[foggy hazel]

a fresh start is NOT just deleting 1 partition.

[zealous edge]

Ok

Then I just delete everythibg

From the drive

And click install windows

[hollow grail]

Yeah that's why I said delete all the partirions

[foggy hazel]

and the reason i stress the multi partition part is that so far, repetition has been needed

[hollow grail]

Also true lol

[zealous edge]

Alri

I get it now lol

[hoary lichen]

My windows booted up on like 760p or something

[zealous edge]

Its simple XD

[hoary lichen]

Had to change it

🗿

[hollow grail]

Are you even booted into the usb rn

[zealous edge]

Just plug my ssd in, boot from the USB with windows installer

And press custom

Delete everything that shows

And then press install to this drive

Done lol

[hoary lichen]

Yea

[foggy hazel]

now, go and actually do that.

[hollow grail]

Also @hoary lichen cause win10 comes with super basic display driver

[hoary lichen]

Yea

[foggy hazel]

that will show if you actually understood any of what you just repeated :)

[hoary lichen]

Dont have internet yet

So ive been playing..

The Microsoft edge game

[zealous edge]

Alri ty

[hollow grail]

Tether to phone?

It'll share the wifi connection with the pc

[hoary lichen]

Is the Price $ right.??

[clever eagle]

how much

oh

wot currency

[tired hamlet]

Is $1170 USD

How much should it really be ?

[verbal quarry]

Personally I think it should be 900

[vital warren]

can build better

[verbal quarry]

At that price I could get a pre-built 3060ti

[vital warren]

ew

just build with a 3060ti for 900

ez

[verbal quarry]

Yea that too

[hollow grail]

for that?

$600

maybe more

maaaaaybe 750

[clever eagle]

i dont live in the US so 2070 super used to cost 1k

[hollow grail]

[mortal rampart]

Lmao ya that pc ain't worth that price

[little osprey]

[safe nest]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RmwWBc what do you guys think of my parts list?

[clever eagle]

[safe nest]

lol yea i went to microcenter like 3 hours early and then didnt have any 3080s on black friday

[clever eagle]

ye

[versed maple]

its better a 240-280hz 1080p or a 1440p 165hz monitor with a 3070 ?

[fleet spade]

Personal preference. Do you want that many more frames, or would you rather have the better quality?

I would personally go with the 1440p 165Hz.

[versed maple]

its hard to choose i want both

you prefer quality to fps ?

[fleet spade]

Well to be honest, I don't see the need in going further than 165 unless you're super competitive and playing competitively.

[rigid portal]

1440p 165hz is a great balance between quality and fps

[fleet spade]

^ For sure.

It's what I have.

[rigid portal]

Great choice : D

[versed maple]

oh rly

plus that what i will have a 5600x and a 3070 what game do you play ? @rigid portal

[fleet spade]

I play Overwatch, Valorant, Destiny, Call of Duty, Rocket League, Minecraft, etc.

But I only have a 1080.

But even then, 1440p at 165Hz is gorgeous.

And it's possible you may not even see a huge difference between 165Hz and 240Hz.

[rigid portal]

@versed maple Mine's not done yet lmao

[versed maple]

oh

[rigid portal]

I have the parts, just missing a few components

[versed maple]

same

cpu and gpu its the only parts that i dont have 😦

[blazing veldt]

Is a NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm liquid cooler good?

Cause Im not sure weather to get a different liquid cooler

[balmy patio]

you could get a liquid freezer ii 360 for a cheaper price

normally goes for $125 iirc

[icy quail]

anyone know a solid PC RGB LED strip light thats actually good

[hasty gyro]

Guys, what do you suggest for a budget gpu?

[fleet spade]

What do you consider your budget?

[dense kindle]

what parts should I get, im willing to spend like 800$-850$

I dont know what goes in a pc so I really need the help

[mortal rampart]

@dense kindle what you gonna use it for?

@hasty gyro budget nowadays is like $300 to me

But you could most definitely go lower than that and get some pretty good stuff especially on the used market if you went that route

@icy quail ask #peripherals-and-displays someone will help you in there

[pale forge]

Give me a pc build for 1k or I will kidnap your family

[mortal rampart]

Mm

Okay zero-two pfp

You being serious tho

Like frfr

[pale forge]

Yea

[mortal rampart]

You need a build?

Okay

Hol up

I gtg do sun I'll be back

*sum

[dense kindle]

um cod and minecraft

[mortal rampart]

You want rtx?

[dense kindle]

and other games you know

[mortal rampart]

[dense kindle]

uh

Im not sure what that is haha

[mortal rampart]

You know what it is?

Lmaoo

[jagged ember]

Ah, good!

[mortal rampart]

Used to be worse lmao

[jagged ember]

That 3600 still way over msrp?

[mortal rampart]

Of course lmao

[jagged ember]

Kek

[hasty bobcat]

copped an 850 P2 for like $125 on ebay. PSU prices both new and used are almost normal

GPU and CPU tho...dont even talk of it

[mortal rampart]

Not bad

Fr

[hasty bobcat]

hell, I want in on a 3060ti so I can sell my 2060 for like $350, which is more than I paid for it LMAO

[pale forge]

3060 are non existent

Can’t buy them anywhere

[hasty bobcat]

exactly

if I get one, may as well sell my old gpu for more than I bought it for cuz demand is amazing rn

[pale forge]

Gonna need to rob someone

[mortal rampart]

Huh?

[hasty bobcat]

even got a 560 I could sell

[mortal rampart]

Lmaooo

I got a 950

Prices on those are disgusting

[hasty bobcat]

560 in my secondary build, 2060 in my main

3900x, 2060, 32GB, 850 P2

[mortal rampart]

Got a 5600xt in my main

Jesus

Ur spec.d out

[hasty bobcat]

ye

[mortal rampart]

What ram speed 😈

[hasty bobcat]

except for GPU :P

[mortal rampart]

Fr

[hasty bobcat]

3600 @ 16-19-19-39

[mortal rampart]

Not a bad card tho

Nice

[hasty bobcat]

its a 2060 XC

[mortal rampart]

W

[mortal rampart]

Mm sex-c

[hasty bobcat]

Love EVGA

[mortal rampart]

Same

[hasty bobcat]

I'd kill for a FTW3 card rn

[jagged ember]

Ayy

[hasty bobcat]

but theyre OOS

[jagged ember]

Precision x1

[hasty bobcat]

PX1 is great

[jagged ember]

Waiting on it to finish it's auto oc

[hasty bobcat]

the auto oc is great. close everything if you want it to be accurate tho

and i mean EVERYTHING

[jagged ember]

Boost lock looks pretty cool tho

[hasty bobcat]

2070mhz is my max

[jagged ember]

Oop spotify is open lol

[hasty bobcat]

7.7GHz is mem clock

[jagged ember]

Well, I'm sure spotify won't make a difference in oc

[mortal rampart]

@pale forge @dense kindle what's yalls budgets again

[hasty bobcat]

got it to 8.1 but had artifacts and even crashed hard with Minecraft once lmao

[mortal rampart]

Prices really inflated rn

[hasty bobcat]

^

[jagged ember]

Yeah, the market still sucks, huh?

[hasty bobcat]

gonna suck until feb prolly

[mortal rampart]

So it's a lil hard to put something together but I'll dm yall actual prices that way if they come down

Yall are ready

[jagged ember]

Yeah, just do parts first

I'm gonna guess you did 3300x, 16gb 3600 cl18, 1660S?

[hasty bobcat]

Back when stock was normal, I crammed a 9700k and 2060 into a 1k budget. Felt proud of myself ngl

[mortal rampart]

For a $850 could probably get a 3600

[jagged ember]

If the price ever returns

[mortal rampart]

Now 9th gen is a dead platform

[jagged ember]

Kek

Now it's the budget option, too

[mortal rampart]

I know 😭

[hasty bobcat]

9th gen is a dead end, but its still good

[jagged ember]

Intel budget

[mortal rampart]

Very true

Who would've thought

[jagged ember]

How the turn tables

[hasty bobcat]

10th gen is just 9th gen with higher prices and HT

so honestly, 9th gen is better

[dense kindle]

800-850$

[hasty bobcat]

that being said, I myself will pick ryzen

[jagged ember]

Me also

Well I already did

It's better for productivity

[hasty bobcat]

same here...looks at nickname

[jagged ember]

Lol

[hasty bobcat]

great streaming cpu

[jagged ember]

3600

[hasty bobcat]

108060 @ x.264 medium

[jagged ember]

Okay streaming cpu

[hasty bobcat]

never drops a frame unless my 2060 bottlenecks

cough cough Flight Sim

[jagged ember]

Lmao

What res you stream at?

[hasty bobcat]

tried streaming with 108060 ultra on flight sim and my 2060 was wheezing when I flew over NYC

as I said, 1080p60 @ x.264 medium

[jagged ember]

Oh, wait

You already said lol I just realized

[hasty bobcat]

lmao

[jagged ember]

Kek

[hasty bobcat]

had to tone the game setting down to high

to stop dropping frames lmao

[jagged ember]

Oh, nice I got +110 gpu and +200mem boost

[hasty bobcat]

damn

card?

[jagged ember]

Uhh

2070S...

[hasty bobcat]

f

[jagged ember]

I know

[hasty bobcat]

better than mine tho

and thats a hella good bin negl

[jagged ember]

Really?

[hasty bobcat]

mine is +60

[jagged ember]

I thought that amount of boost was bad lol

[hasty bobcat]

+60 core, +700 mem

[jagged ember]

Heck

You got the good memory

[hasty bobcat]

p sure its samsung

for mem oc, do +200 and run a benchmark

if it passes, and 50-100

if it fails for your system has a meltdown, you know where to stop

[jagged ember]

Lol it auto did 200 already

[hasty bobcat]

lol

[pale forge]

1k

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jXW3gt

Give opinion please-
My budget is 500 less
I am legit only playing Modded Sims 4 & Minecraft w/some texture packs
I looked up a video on YT for Modded sims 4 pc builds and some of this stuff was listed & I changed it up to find something a bit cheaper but still doable and also looked at the reviews on the case I picked out- they said it was a good starter case.

I don't need anything super fancy or $$$

[mortal rampart]

Buy a cheaper 1030

And get a used cpu

Make sure it's the 1600af version

[flint warren]

Heya, I'm trying to build a PC here and wanted to ask for some opinions, my budget is sub $1,100, but if possible getting around $800 is even better, just not necessary. Looking to play most average games at 1080p 60fps. Would someone be willing to take the time out of their day to have a look at a PC I've got going here and make any recommendations, and possibly check to make sure all the parts are compatible with each other, cause I'm not sure if they are or not.

Please be kind I've never built a pc before and have surface level knowledge of pc parts.
https://newegg.io/a9cbbda

[mortal rampart]

@flint warren you don't need an os

[flint warren]

Oh? Do you not need to pay for a Windows license when you build a pc?

[mortal rampart]

No

You can get the free version

[hasty bobcat]

just activate it in cmd

[mortal rampart]

It comes with a water mark tho

And then you just buy a key for it on eBay for like $4

[hasty bobcat]

that works too

[flint warren]

Ah haha, well thank you for saving me that $100+

[mortal rampart]

I got my windows 10 pro for $4

Np

[little osprey]

CMD isn't too difficult tbh

[mortal rampart]

^^

[hasty bobcat]

fr tho its easy

[flint warren]

Any other recommendations by chance?

[hasty bobcat]

if I could make $5 every minute by activating via cmd, id be rich now

[little osprey]

What kind-

[mortal rampart]

I can't find it anymore

Rip

That'll be fine tho

Or you could get something way better on the used market

Up to you tho

[little osprey]

I kinda want everything brand new cause I don't wanna buy a used one and it have problems

[mortal rampart]

Yeah I see

I wouldn't buy that cpu regardless tho

You could possibly get a 3400G

And then check integrated graphic equivalncies to dedicated gpus

It might outperform that gt 1030

But idk for sure

You'd have to check

[little osprey]

Ryzen 5 3400g?

[whole harbor]

Ye

get that

gt 1030 is just a waste of money

Lemme fix ur list

Also

@little osprey what are you trying to do with this build

and are u planning to upgrade in the future?

[little osprey]

I posted it earlier and yeah I do plan on upgrading it in like 4-5 years

[whole harbor]

K one sec

[little osprey]

okays

[whole harbor]

U doing any work on

The pc?

[little osprey]

No, I have a laptop for all of my work

It's just for games

[whole harbor]

ok

Can u send me the link to ur laptop

[little osprey]

Yeah let me find it rq

[whole harbor]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sg68bh i removed the gpu because the cpu/apu will prob run better

i used the gpu money to find more reliable ram, case, and psu

for longer lasting pc

[little osprey]

It's a HP Notebook laptop

[whole harbor]

in the future i think you should get like a $170 1650 super or around $250 1660 super

@little osprey do u have the link?

[little osprey]

No Cause I don't think they sell it anymore-

[whole harbor]

K

Do u at least know the specs

?

Also in the pc I added 2tb of space lol if u need

[little osprey]

Idk where to find that

[whole harbor]

K screenshare me

On cc

Vc

So wait for cpu/apu to lower to

$150

Then buy the rest of parts

Then in the future

Go for a

$170 1650 super

Or

Around $250 1660 super

Actually

[mortal rampart]

Solid list

[whole harbor]

Judt

[mortal rampart]

Just use ur apu lmao

[whole harbor]

Come back when u wanna upgrade

[mortal rampart]

Don't get a lower end gpu

[whole harbor]

@little osprey

[mortal rampart]

You'll be scammed

[little osprey]

okays

[whole harbor]

3400g better than gt 1030

Lul

[mortal rampart]

True

[wanton cliff]

apparently the 4800H (laptop processor) outperforms the 3700x in some applications

[earnest olive]

like what

[wanton cliff]

Benchmarks mostly

I said most but thats a bit of an overstatment

[earnest olive]

https://hwbot.org/submission/4565299_sips_bleach_seductively_cinebench___r20_with_benchmate_ryzen_7_3700x_5368_pts

[mortal rampart]

Lmao

[earnest olive]

that was done on a budget cooler too

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/76DtnL

[earnest olive]

the world record on the 4800H is 4695 cb

😐

[little osprey]

How is that

[earnest olive]

4695 is a far cry from 5368

no ssd?

and the ram is bad

[hasty bobcat]

would you consider 7152 on a 3900x impressive with air cooling?

[little osprey]

Me?

[hasty bobcat]

no, @earnest olive

[earnest olive]

sounds about average to me

now if that's at like 1.1V i'd be impressed

but the score itself is about expected

[wanton cliff]

https://www.techspot.com/review/2018-amd-ryzen-4800h/

[mortal rampart]

@little osprey change the ram

[hasty bobcat]

I got 7152 on my 3900X at 1.2625v

[little osprey]

To what

[earnest olive]

yeah it's an average chip

did you determine that 1.2625V is safe? it's safe on some chips but not all

i had 2 different 3600X one of them was safe up to 1.263 one of them was only safe up to 1.238

[hasty bobcat]

zen 2 runs up to 1.325

[earnest olive]

no

that is false

[hasty bobcat]

plus ive ran this thing for 15 months on 4.2

[earnest olive]

1.2625 is safe on some chips

1.325v is unsafe on 100% of zen 2 chips

[hasty bobcat]

seems fine for me

[earnest olive]

temperature has nothing to do with it

i asked if you verified that 1.2625+V is actually safe for your chip

but hey if you don't care you don't care

that's fine too

electromigration does not care if your cpu is overheating or not

my cpu never exceeds 70C in prime95 small ffts avx on but i'm not pushing more than 1.238V into it

[hasty bobcat]

the voltage lowers when at load

down to like 1.15

[earnest olive]

then that's fine

1.325v is definitely not safe though don't go telling people that in the future please

[hasty bobcat]

its max safe v
