[stoic island]

Yea

[median acorn]

You givin me spoopy swamp vibes

Wow your PC is like me

[harsh fog]

Intel Core i9 9900K 3.6 GHz 16MB
MSI Z390 MEG ACE
Palit GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB GamingPro OC
Corsair 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dominator [ Going to upgrade]
Its liquid cooled

[median acorn]

LMAO

[stoic island]

Uhm

@harsh fog do you already have that?

[harsh fog]

probeebly going to buy it from a friend

[little leaf]

for 1300 right

if so I would take it

[stoic island]

How much is the whole PC?

[little leaf]

if it works

[ripe wedge]

if the whole pc is 1300 then its not too shabby

[harsh fog]

I dont know right now but is that good

[stoic island]

Just some numbers for you, 9900k has been 300$ at Microcenter new, 2080ti performs the same as a 500$ 3070, and the ram is worth around 100$ give or take

[little leaf]

If the pc is like 1300

[stoic island]

Motherboard maybe 200, I'd prob value it more like 150 since it's been used

What storage?

[harsh fog]

1tb

[stoic island]

Aio is prob worth 100$

1tb NVMe SSD would be worth 100$

Mp34 1tb from Amazon is 107$

[severe axle]

that ram is $200+ 👀

[stoic island]

@severe axle that's Corsair being dumb

[severe axle]

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236495?Description=4x8 dominator 3200 cl16&cm_re=4x8_dominator 3200 cl16-_-20-236-495-_-Product

this one?

[stoic island]

4x8gb of 3200c16 in general should be just a bit above 100$

Because Aegis 2x16gb of 3200c16 is 100$ flat

Newegg or Amazon, forgot.

@harsh fog what PSU?

[severe axle]

this one is rgb+"capellix" led

also headspreader

[stoic island]

@severe axle none of that affect performance, hell, it'll block top radiator support depending on the case

3200c16 isn't a b die bin I know of, so that wouldn't be a selling point

Corsair doesn't use micron ram, so not rev e either

[severe axle]

its m2z

wait no

m4z

[stoic island]

m4z?

Actually Corsair might use micron ram but not rev e

[harsh fog]

Is this a big upgrade? my pc is on the pic
Intel Core i9 9900K 3.6 GHz 16MB
MSI Z390 MEG ACE
Palit GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB GamingPro OC
Corsair 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dominator [ Going to upgrade]
Its liquid cooled

[stoic island]

Good step, don't need to upgrade ram

@harsh fog what is the price they're asking for?

[harsh fog]

Its a whole setup with alot of things but like 2500$

[stoic island]

Uhhhhhh

[balmy patio]

dang

[stoic island]

What else is in the setup

[little leaf]

ya no

[balmy patio]

you can get a 5600x + 3080 build for 1500 bucks

[little leaf]

I wouldn't do that unless it come with 500 dollars with monitors

[stoic island]

Because that PC is worth 1200$ lowball, 1500$ max

[harsh fog]

So its overpriced

[stoic island]

What else is in the setup?

That's being sold

[severe axle]

monitors/peripherals?

[stoic island]

Maybe it's 1000$ worth of peripherals, then it might be bearable

[harsh fog]

2 monitors 144hz acer, monitorstand, microphone with micarm, logitech keyboard, logitech mouse and a webcam (some random stuff)

[ripe wedge]

not worth

unless those acer monitors are acer predator 4ks

lol

[median acorn]

Aced monitors are bad

[harsh fog]

ik

[ripe wedge]

they arnt terrible

[median acorn]

Beside Predators i suppose

[harsh fog]

i was thinging about selling them

[little leaf]

I would do it for 1500

[ripe wedge]

max 1700

[median acorn]

Yeah

[stoic island]

Uh

@harsh fog what resolution monitors

1080p?

[harsh fog]

1920x1080

[ripe wedge]

oof

[little leaf]

1400

[stoic island]

What exact mouse?

[harsh fog]

Oh it wasent a logitech mouse its a DeathAdder Elite Gamingmus

[stoic island]

150$ per monitor should be about right, mic really depends on the model, 50-100$, keyboard is prob bad, but 100$ max, mouse is worth 100$ max if it's a GPW

Oh deathadder is like 40$ iirc

[harsh fog]

This is the pc

[ripe wedge]

that fan in the middle of the loop tho

[stoic island]

Yea

What the hell is with that fan lol

[balmy patio]

sheesh

[stoic island]

Where's the front fans

[blazing steppe]

@median acorn It's gonna be in a h510 case

[ripe wedge]

its a 011 case

no front fans

[stoic island]

I'm pretty sure o11 has front fan mounts

[ripe wedge]

only rear

[stoic island]

Like 95% sure

[ripe wedge]

like side panel side fans

[severe axle]

theres some noctua ones on side

[ripe wedge]

looks like there are

[harsh fog]

This case has no front fans

[balmy patio]

dang

[ripe wedge]

noctua on the top there

[stoic island]

The hell

[ripe wedge]

prolly took panels off for photo

[balmy patio]

it looks like he did not use any panels and used top and bottom as exhaust

[stoic island]

I could've sworn you can front mount fans

Oh well

Wait is there only a single fan on that radiator?

Uhhh

[severe axle]

hmm that seems weird to put fans on premium rgb ram

[median acorn]

So I would go AORUS PRO then if it’s not too much more than the other B550s

[harsh fog]

Is this better?

[stoic island]

I'm confused

What currency..?

[harsh fog]

swedish kr

[ripe wedge]

3,155 usd

[median acorn]

That’s 3000 usd

[stoic island]

Ah thought it was danish

[median acorn]

Yeah

[stoic island]

Whoops

[median acorn]

I would go prebuilt

[blazing steppe]

@median acorn Pro-p or pro

[stoic island]

Well

I'd change to a different prebuilt

[ripe wedge]

what prebuilder is that

[stoic island]

But it's a start

[harsh fog]

Should i get it?

[stoic island]

Might be time to @ naed again for scandinavian prebuilt services

@harsh fog not yet, we should find some other options

It's a step in the right direction though.

[harsh fog]

Yeah

[median acorn]

Wait no go Gaming C

X

Because it’s ATX

Not MATX

@blazing steppe

The H510 is a compact ATX

So I would utilize the space

[ripe wedge]

h510 isnt a great case

[ripe wedge]

that pc would be very hot in that case

[stoic island]

@harsh fog I wonder, you think danish retailers could ship to you? I remember a good deal on a danish retailers Naed showed me a while back

[blazing steppe]

@median acorn can you put the full name?

[harsh fog]

I think so

[stoic island]

Prob easier to directly ask Naed tho

[harsh fog]

but its corona so it could be a long deliverytime

[stoic island]

@foggy hazel can ya list off some major retailers/prebuilt services that would ship to Sweden?

[foggy hazel]

Proshop has a presence over there

[median acorn]

https://www.newegg.ca/gigabyte-b550-gaming-x/p/N82E16813145212?item=N82E16813145212&source=googleshopping&nm_mc=knc-googleadwordsca-mobile&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwordsca-mobile-_-pla-_-motherboards+-+amd-_-N82E16813145212&gclid=CjwKCAiAt9z-BRBCEiwA_bWv-DUqqeReuX4Fre9LFvJRvQVhpiYpySrY2nidz-VVWjCMrH1vszGifRoCWecQAvD_BwE

[foggy hazel]

befro should also have one

[little leaf]

Naed

any other ideas?

[foggy hazel]

computersalg.dk should also

@little leaf no, not at the moment

[little leaf]

oof

[foggy hazel]

the problem/challenge is that the "cause" could be anything

@harsh fog did you see the ones i listed above?

[harsh fog]

Nope

[foggy hazel]

proshop <- you probably know them already

[stoic island]

This might've been the one
https://www.proshop.dk/Stationaer-DUTZO-Konfigurerbar-Gamer-PC/DUTZO-Deluxe-Extreme/8029812

[foggy hazel]

computersalg.dk <- those guys also has a presence in Sweden

and Befro should have, but a bit uncertain about them

[stoic island]

~2500 usd

[earnest river]

What a mess Newegg

[stoic island]

..?

[earnest river]

7 days not yet shipped

It’s a Case

[harsh fog]

ill look thanks everyone

[stoic island]

Fair

[ripe wedge]

what case

[shrewd fern]

https://newegg.io/ad97464

lmk

i alr have memory

[stoic island]

for your own sake

use pcpartpicker and not use a MS30

[ripe wedge]

that 3600 kinda overpriced

also 3600 comes with a stock cooler which is enough

[shrewd fern]

i wasnt sure if it came with the tsealth cooler or not

[severe axle]

it does

[shrewd fern]

ok

[ruby ledge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B3rWz7
Thoughts? My budget is 1200

[little osprey]

thats a bad ssd for that budget

also a520m? for that kinda budget? eh...

plus no vrm cooling

also the ram is cl18 so...

[ripe wedge]

id rather get g.skill 3600c16 or c18

you would want an m.2 ssd

psu kinda sketch

[shrewd fern]

can the mother board handle the gpu?

[ripe wedge]

yeah

oh wait

yeah urs is fine

had to look at it again

[stoic island]

tbh

[shrewd fern]

for krypt why did you decide to go micro atx?

[stoic island]

I'd get like 3070 and upgrade everything else

[ripe wedge]

3070 should be enough

[stoic island]

Yes that gets you 5600x+3080, but the tradeoffs are...

quite significant

[shrewd fern]

the 3080 is really holding you back on your other parts

price wise

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PqDM4d

@ruby ledge

the psu isn't the best so i would go like something higher

[ripe wedge]

that psu kinda meh

[little osprey]

yeah

i should have added in a 750w psu

[ripe wedge]

I would suggest changing one more thing

change the ram to 3600C16

amd likes faster ram

[little osprey]

actually would be better to swap out that 3080 for a 3070

gonna improve that list

one sec

[ripe wedge]

that 3080 wouldnt be able to run well with a 650W

[ruby ledge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qFB4Yg
?

[whole harbor]

not the case

BABABA

[little osprey]

i didn't really change the case tho

[whole harbor]

Why do u need 32gb ram

Get cougar mx330-g-air

[severe axle]

what about mx410 mesh-g?

[whole harbor]

Its good i think

[little osprey]

@ruby ledge https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wJFxRT

[whole harbor]

Not that case

[little osprey]

you can swap out the the 3060 ti with 3070 tho

i just tried to improve his pcpp list tho

if you have a better option for case, go ahead and tell tho

i am not the best with cases.

[whole harbor]

Get the mx330-g-air

Or

Mx410-mesh-g

[little osprey]

ok

[balmy patio]

you don't really need 850w for that system

600-650w will do

[little osprey]

well, it's up to him though
he could switch to a 650w psu

[balmy patio]

what's his budget?

[rigid portal]

Jfc, I finally resolved my DRAM QLED problem with my mobo, and it still wonmg POST because now it has VGA and Boot QLED on....

[balmy patio]

nvm i got it

1200 it is

[still roost]

Mocco#0101 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[little osprey]

1200 and that was the psu for the 3080

then i swapped out for 3060 ti

that is why it was overkill

[whole harbor]

cpu is overkill

Games are usually

More gpu heavy

one sec

[balmy patio]

eh not really

[little osprey]

recently? nah.

[balmy patio]

once you ramp up the res it starts to become more gpu dependent

[little osprey]

games are bumping up the amount of cores they are using.

[balmy patio]

lmao cyberpunk 2077 is an example

[little osprey]

and a 6c/12t is most of the time a sweet post.

[little osprey]

yep

[whole harbor]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sqqVmk

850w if he wants

5600x

Is better

For lower res

Then

?

[little osprey]

5600x just have better single core peformance.

aka more fps

[whole harbor]

I want a 3300x so bad

[little osprey]

oof

[whole harbor]

Will they ever

Bring it back

?

[little osprey]

probally because there is currently no ryzen 50xx yet.

also 3600 is kinda meh for now.

unless 3600 goes down in price.

[whole harbor]

3300x

Is going for $200

And up

[little osprey]

oof

[whole harbor]

[little osprey]

you gotta wait then.

[balmy patio]

dang

3300x is like 120 msrp iirc

[whole harbor]

what does iirc mean

[icy wave]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name of this case? I’m not sure if it is the lian li o11 dynamic or not?

[little osprey]

@whole harbor could you like send back the mobo and just like...go intel mobo and cpu?

[balmy patio]

i'm pretty sure it is

[whole harbor]

newegg

Has horrible

Return system

[little osprey]

welp

[whole harbor]

U lose money

😦

[icy wave]

i thought so but that corner bezel looks a lot smaller than usual

[little osprey]

seems like you going to have wait till 3300x goes back to stock

[viral ore]

10100 is a comparable 4/8 for like 105

[balmy patio]

yes

[balmy patio]

lmao now that you said that the bezel bothers me

[viral ore]

its 115 now on amazon

[balmy patio]

prob the angle

[icy wave]

yeah what i was thinking but if they could make the bezel look like that it would make the case even nicer

[balmy patio]

frick it

no bezel

bent acrylic from now on

[whole harbor]

Bahahahhaa

Thye spelled it wrong

[icy wave]

its the future

[whole harbor]

Does this mean i make money

Loo

[balmy patio]

lmao i think there's some cases that don't even use metal except for the screws

[icy wave]

not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing

actually looking at it, it may not be the Lian Li as it doesn't have the Lian Li plaque thing on the back of the case next to the GPU

[little osprey]

metal is great to dissipate the heat inside tho
unless you going overkill on airflow

[balmy patio]

if i recall correctly

[harsh fog]

Would someone please make me a good pc with a 3080 and a good cpu. my budget is around 3500$, eiter a white/blue theme or black / purple

[still bay]

yeah i gotchu

[harsh fog]

thanks mate

[still bay]

do u want it like rn or can u wait a bit for certain parts

also do u ahev a preference on case?

[harsh fog]

You can choose a case but i want it to look clean like nzxt's cases

[still bay]

what abou the 4000d?

blck

[harsh fog]

Looks good actually

[still bay]

:D

thats the case i have rn

well not in my current build its in my basement

its for my new build

[harsh fog]

Nice! i got a seller for the 3080 but you can still include it

[still bay]

how much?

and which one

[harsh fog]

Zotac 3080 amp holo for 1249,37$

[still bay]

gotcha

[harsh fog]

Is the Zotac good?

[ripe wedge]

Zotac is decent yea

[still bay]

yeah i have a zotac gpu

[ripe wedge]

I have a 2070S amp extreme from Zotac but have a Gigabyte Aorus master 3080 now

solid gpu

stayed coolish

[still bay]

@harsh fog what was ur budget btw?

[harsh fog]

around 3500$

[still bay]

im not amazing at parts list so maybe have someone check it over but if i were u i'd do something like this (very similar tow hat i have) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PgPhF8

and iirc u said u have a 6tb external hdd

u could do a 5950x if u want as well

i have basically identical but a 10900k and a z490-e mobo

[harsh fog]

so that will give me a good performance ?

[still bay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FlyhvoTGdU

5900x and a 3080 in 1440p

i spent quite a bit on looks/aesthetics btw

im also not sure about that ssd

same with the power supply a lot of good ones are out of stop

stock*

[harsh fog]

Yeah

[still bay]

if ur gonna go with a 5950x and are gonna be overclocking then maybe consider a 1000w

if i were u i'd consider a custom loop

maybe in a o11 dynamic bc of the distro plate

[harsh fog]

Ill have to look at diffrent options

but thanks

[still bay]

go for it

but yeah if i were u i'd go for probably a custom loop if u feel comfortable with it, absolute maximum performance and looks while being silent

[harsh fog]

oh like a cooler?

[still bay]

here ill send a pic

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/91/53/eb/9153eb2b4287a188ee69d208f03d01a1.jpg

https://i.redd.it/push60xogni11.jpg

[harsh fog]

what does it do?

is it to cool the pc's?

[upper cobalt]

[still bay]

yeah so instead of air u use water to cool down either the CPU or CPU and GPU

[harsh fog]

oh okey

[still bay]

[harsh fog]

but isnt that expensive

[upper cobalt]

very

[harsh fog]

like 600$?

[upper cobalt]

very expensive

[still bay]

custom loops is like 600 dollars yeah

depends on what u get but yeah i'd say so

[harsh fog]

Well i have to upgrade that in the future

[still bay]

wdym

actually if u havent built before maybe dont go custom loop

u have to do maintance on it

like take it apart, drain it, refill it, etc.

they are also not easy to do and if u mess up u could ruin ur expensive hardware

just food for your thought

[harsh fog]

yeah

[little osprey]

air cooler is better tho

[still bay]

air cooler and aio's are identical in performance ( a quality air cooler)

custom loop is the best

thats objective

not like a hyper 212 evo but like a d15 or something

[upper cobalt]

maybe a dh 15 could match a custom loop

[still bay]

nah bc ur also getting GPU cooling

and not if u go dual 360mm rad

also custom loop is the most silent

also i mean just look at it

https://879a0cd993b93bf42216-fac92dd43971ff47cecfeefad717658e.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/8aeac394-6e0d-49d9-a485-4d8e273294c0.jpg

[upper cobalt]

that is very good looking

[icy wave]

I found the case its called : Tecware VXR

[still bay]

no kidding

[little osprey]

ye but the trade off is alot of money & maintance.

[still bay]

true

[icy wave]

pretty cheap as well

[still bay]

its for very high end

[balmy patio]

sheesh

[still bay]

i mean u can also just cool ur cpu with it

thats not as bad

but at that point im not sure if its entirely worth it and ur really just paying for the looks

custom loop in the o11 dynamic mini will just always have my heart

https://preview.redd.it/15teaqbf6vl51.jpg?width=3328&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f79a9ab0423bc1ba0301bf093911688a20ffbe08

[upper cobalt]

if you have a big room i’d just use open air cooling

[still bay]

forbidden coolant

[icy wave]

im tryna build a pc after christmas so im deffo building it in that now ahah

[still bay]

@icy wave is that just an o11 clone

[viral ore]

thats the o11d mini

totally pog case

[still bay]

i know it is.. i just said that

[viral ore]

"custom loop in the o11 dynamic will just always have my heart"

[upper cobalt]

[still bay]

I MEANT TO SAY MINI

lol

[upper cobalt]

wdym

[viral ore]

lmao its cool

[still bay]

wdym

[viral ore]

yeah, i love the look of the mini

[icy wave]

like half the price so im not complaining

[still bay]

i would've built in it if it was in stock for xmas

[still bay]

up 2 u man

[icy wave]

would you advice against?

[still bay]

so editing or what

[icy wave]

advise*

[still bay]

i mean if u like the look of it and dont want to spend a ton go for it

[icy wave]

i feel a but coming

[still bay]

idk about materials/quality

[icy wave]

ahh ok, cheers for the heads up, ill look into it

[still bay]

np

budget?

so just general use, not gaming?

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/679671608838848546/785880008840970250/image0-1-1-1.gif

ok i gotchu

im guessing u dont care about looks

[balmy patio]

niice

[still bay]

@cold juniper actually im not so sure on extremely budget like general use pc's maybe look at the used market?

[icy wave]

@cold juniper will you need to be using VMs?

[still bay]

virtual machines

take that as a no

[icy wave]

then yh as @still bay said second hand may be your best bet

[still bay]

yeah idk maybe an old dell? im really not sure at all

[icy wave]

if you arent really producing anything with the coding you wont need a powerful pc

[upper cobalt]

you can run minecraft very easily

[icy wave]

like you could use a second hand pc for your budget and not run into many problems

[upper cobalt]

yup

[icy wave]

i would say like ebay or faebook market place, just have to make sure its legit

for what you want may just be easier to get it used

[still bay]

offerup is good too

[upper cobalt]

offerup can be sketchy sometimes

meet up somewhere to test it

[icy wave]

you could have the satisfaction of making your own build but i dont think it would be that worth it

could work you would just have to make sure that the used ones worked

[orchid matrix]

is there a way to check (I have a prebuilt) if I have a hard drive or ssd?

[upper cobalt]

open the side panel of your pc and check i guess

[orchid matrix]

Its a closed one

[upper cobalt]

unscrew it and open it

[orchid matrix]

alright

[upper cobalt]

for 500 before tax?

[orchid matrix]

oh I found out if you search optimize you can find out if it is hard drive or ssd

[icy wave]

depends what the components are and the price theyre asking for

[solid marten]

ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard and AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000071BOX Desktop Processor Will these two work togeather ?

[icy wave]

i wouldnt take a second hand CPI

CPU*

and maybe not the motherboard

[upper cobalt]

yeah

[solid marten]

Cool thank you !

[icy wave]

they should tell you the full name before you buy, if they do put it in here and the price they're asking and ask for someones opinion, im sure they'll be happy to help, np tho, hope it goes well

[upper cobalt]

for a prebuilt?

[icy wave]

ahhh i get you, i couldnt think of any off the top of my head

[still bay]

nzxt bld is good

[icy wave]

but as i said ebay may be a good shout

[upper cobalt]

you can’t get an nzxt build for 500

there’s a dude kristoforyee i think on youtube

he does budget builds like that

with used parts

i’d watch his videos to get an outline for your build

he has one for 500

then get integrated graphics

get a ryzen 3 2200g

actually no

that’s not the best

just look on youtube

[mighty wigeon]

hi pando

[mighty wadi]

So I know everyone disses gaming laptops but my sister wants one for Christmas so could anyone suggest a good one? She probably would just mostly play valorant and minecraft

[night iron]

That is one colorful build you have. How long did it take you @sly niche

[marsh kiln]

Can I do some gaming on a computer with these specs?
Cpu i5 2500 @ 3.1ghz quad core
Gpu gtx 580 1.5gb
Ram 12gb DDR3 @ 1333Mhz

[deep skiff]

sure as long as you dont set ur expectations high

thats south america

[median acorn]

1080p low-med setting gameplay at 70 fps

[marsh kiln]

Ok I found a pc for like 150 with them specs and was just wondering thanks

[median acorn]

LMAO

[median acorn]

What are you buying used?

[marsh kiln]

The hole computer is used

[halcyon edge]

yo

for streaming shouldl i go with 32 gb or 16 gb ram?

[upper cobalt]

always go with more ram i guess

[neat reef]

16gb is fine but id go with 32 if its not to much more expensive

[upper cobalt]

i don’t know why you wouldn’t

if your gonna stream large games then 32

better safe than sorry

[halcyon edge]

ya but its like 200$ expensiver

wait do you guys have any recoomendations for ram?

3600 mghz?

[neat reef]

id just go with 16gb and add more later if you end up needing it

idk about specifics of ram

go ask in the cpus-mobo-and-memory room

[steep fern]

So I got a Sager NP7958C 4 months ago and base specs were a Ryzen 5 3600 Desktop Model, a GTX 1660ti, 16gbs of DDR4 3200mhz ram (idk the brand), and a 500gb wd blue nvme m.2. Over the period of time ive had it ive added a 500gb nvme m.2 Intel and a TeamGroup 2tb ssd abd i gotta say its really good so far. Plan on getting 32gbs of 3200mhz ram for it coming soon just so i can host an intensive mc modpack for my girlfriend and I.

any reccomendations for laptop ram

[hollow grail]

hell yes my man i love seeing ppl with clevo chassis

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q7T9NSC this should work fine

[waxen obsidian]

5600XT and keep it for like two years or a cheaper Temporary for when the 3060 or 3070 market it better?

[steep fern]

Bought it off of NoCompramiseGaming and paid it off within 2 months and thanks

[hollow grail]

nice

how much?

[steep fern]

@hollow grail also whats your opinion on this set of ram https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08K9BMWDD/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

[hollow grail]

never heard of them and worried ya got fleeced lol

[steep fern]

and total was about 1000

[hollow grail]

oh thats not bad

[steep fern]

so normal gaming laptop price

144hz refresh rate and i can max doom 2016 out and still have more frames

skyrim se maxed with over 300 mods and enb is in the 80s to 100s for me also

Borderlands 3 is in the 50s range

[mossy plaza]

Is there anyway i can select a lot of parts at once to email me when they are available?

[hollow grail]

nice

and as for that ram @steep fern yeah grab that

tighter timings

[little leaf]

@foggy hazel hey I had a question for some reason my pc wont boot with trident z ram

But it will with a different kit

[little osprey]

Hey can someone rate my build please?
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600x (6 Core)
GPU GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
RAM: 32G
Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS
Storage: 1TB
Power Supply: 750W

[upper cobalt]

pretty solid

a 750 w psu is a bit overkill

[verbal quarry]

Expansion

[upper cobalt]

but yeah good headroom for upgradability

[verbal quarry]

Also frog do you know whats going on with this guys ram?

[steep fern]

bad/ incompatible ram kit?

[upper cobalt]

who’s?

[little osprey]

@verbal quarry it was $20 more for double the ram and a higher quality ram card so i mean 🤷‍♂️

[verbal quarry]

@little leaf this dudes ram

[steep fern]

@little osprey they mean @little leaf

[muted sluice]

I just download my ram online

[little osprey]

oh haha

[verbal quarry]

Yea

The Trident z ram he got doesn't work but another kit does

Would that be incompatibility to the mobo or the cpu?

[steep fern]

dont some mobos support set ram speeds and same with certain cpus

[hollow grail]

put it in a pcpp

[verbal quarry]

Yea but he never said what mobo he has

[little leaf]

The website says it supports the model of ram

I tried different slots

[little osprey]

@hollow grail Already did. I already have everything too except the GPU which i just got an hour ago

[steep fern]

@little leaf what mobo and cpu

[hybrid stone]

Would this build be able to play COD black ops cold war well? Would it be optimal, minimum, recommended

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N3K7Cz

[steep fern]

Id imagine it would

[little leaf]

9900k

Phantom gaming 4 ac

[steep fern]

friend of mine plays the game on low and his laptop is terrible

think he uses an igpu

[foggy hazel]

You verified that the kit even works?

[steep fern]

@hybrid stone requirements for cold war

[little leaf]

@foggy hazel yep

I just got a nee trident z too

It will boot now

But its very unstable

[foggy hazel]

Reset bios and go from there

[little leaf]

Lots of frame drops

K

K im resetting cmos

Now what?

@foggy hazel what should I di know

Now

[zealous edge]

Hi guys

Need a bit of help

[little leaf]

Hello

[zealous edge]

I have a 3 pin connector, but I don't know where to plug it into my mobo

[little leaf]

Molex?

Pictures

[zealous edge]

K

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ good build?

any changes u guys would make?

[little leaf]

Yes but rn Im busy

@foggy hazel so the ram is very unstable and windows randomly freezes

[zealous edge]

3 pin

[little leaf]

Fan

[zealous edge]

Fan header?

Yea

So O just plug it into a 4 pin fan header?

I

I have no 3 pin

[little leaf]

Yes

[granite fern]

ye

[zealous edge]

Ok

Also

For the Kraken coolet

There is a 4 pin rgb

Cable

I dont need to plug that in if I don't have a hue 2 right?

All i need is the sata, USB 2

And

The 3 pin fan

[little leaf]

@foggy hazel no boot on xmp unstable on reg

[zealous edge]

?

Also

What does cpu_opt mean

[foggy hazel]

"joy"

you are having all the luck @little leaf

new psu or a old one in that build?

[little leaf]

New one

[granite fern]

Uhm CPu opt is basically a secondary fan header for the cpu cooler if you have two fans on the cooler @zealous edge

But always use the cpu_fan header if you only have one

[zealous edge]

Ok

Il use both

I have w

2

And what about the other question?

@little leaf

[granite fern]

If you have a 3-pin ARGB header on your Mobo plug it in there if you dont have one you'll have to live without the cooler's effects

3-pin ARGB is different from 3-pin fan header

[zealous edge]

Ik

Ok

But I thought the USB 2 controls the rgb

[foggy hazel]

manual

the manual tells you the answer to the questions you are asking.

[zealous edge]

So 4 pin is RGB and 3 pin is ARGB?

[little leaf]

@foggy hazel have any idea why trident z is bork

[foggy hazel]

no

only thing you can do is keep going down the line of component and check

[little leaf]

I did

[foggy hazel]

something, somewhere, is not behaving as it should

[little leaf]

Everything is fine beisde the ram

Unless the mobo doesnt like trident z

[foggy hazel]

you could also look at it differently

the ram is fine

everything else is weird

[hollow grail]

lol

[little leaf]

Or it could be the mobo

[foggy hazel]

until you have it all actually working at the same time.

you dont know what is working "fine" and what is "not-fine"

[little leaf]

I guess it could be the mobo

Since the exact same kit didnt work

[zealous edge]

Also

@foggy hazel how do I know where all of the small wires go

Like at the bottom right of the mobo

[foggy hazel]

manual

its all in the manual @zealous edge

[granite fern]

Fix change or do what ever: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R73BGq
-1500$-1600$
-Using Stock Cooler
-Getting GPU at micro center for 580$
-Need Wifi
-Using For Gaming
-Lmk if you need to know anything else 👀

[little osprey]

thats a alright build

but could have gone with 3600 cl16

and you could also go intel if you are going to buy a cpu

10700k is at 350$

however if you plan to get the ryzen 50xx
stick with am4

[junior crescent]

Is this any good for streaming, gaming and editing https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZfsWz7

[balmy patio]

if you only care about performance @granite fern there's this : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dJCKK3 - intel, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PQ3BGq - amd

[echo panther]

@junior crescent depending on the load of editing you may want to consider 32gb of ram, and that 3060 ti is double the release price so maybe wait until stock is back and the price is more reasonable

[tender oriole]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zc6LF8
I feel like im going overkill on the PSU

[echo panther]

it's not necessary but it allows for upgradability in the future and the price is pretty good.

[nimble sinew]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Vwrny4

[echo panther]

@tender oriole if you're looking for cheaper this would be a pretty good alternative https://www.newegg.com/corsair-cv-series-cv650-cp-9020211-na-650w/p/N82E16817139249

[balmy patio]

this will prob save you a bit more, https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/TkcjBc

[tender oriole]

ill keep that in mind.

[echo panther]

@nimble sinew there's no way you got that card for that price

[nimble sinew]

I got that card for that price.

[echo panther]

when did you get it though

[nimble sinew]

guy went to microcenter and got a 3080.

He put it up on facebook and went, "I was going to use it in my new build but didn't need to."

so now I have it.

[echo panther]

haha nice

really good price tho honestly

[nimble sinew]

He was super chill.

but yeah, just a nice, basic build.

[little osprey]

that is a really overpriced 3800xt tho

[nimble sinew]

what's a good price for a 3800xt?

[little osprey]

way below that

[upper cobalt]

a 3800xt?

[nimble sinew]

Yeah.

[upper cobalt]

my bad

[balmy patio]

wasn't it originally selling for 400 bucks

the 3800xt

[upper cobalt]

lmao i forgot that existed but then remembered that’s what i have

[little osprey]

did you already brought the mobo? if not i would go for i7 10700k

a bit cheaper than that

[nimble sinew]

I was thinking that.

10700k with a z490 vision g

[balmy patio]

yeah go 10700k if you need a 8 cores 16 threads system

[nimble sinew]

definitely need 8 cores.

[little osprey]

seems like a better build
because the 30xx is still zen 2

[echo panther]

3700x would also be viable if you're looking to go a bit cheaper

[little osprey]

amd cpus are really screwed up in terms of price tho

[upper cobalt]

true

[echo panther]

everything computer wise is right now tbh

[nimble sinew]

Yeah.

Market is scuffed.

[little osprey]

ssd and intel cpus are fine.

[nimble sinew]

If I am able to get a 3800xt for $350 is this worth?

[little osprey]

maybe

[next kestrel]

not too bad

[upper cobalt]

yeah

[nimble sinew]

Microcenter here I come!

[echo panther]

lucky

I don't got microcenter in my state

it's lame

[little osprey]

checking some benchmark and some specs
seems like 10700k and 3700xt is on pair on perf

[nimble sinew]

I believe 10700k has higher turbo speeds

[little osprey]

ye

[echo panther]

slightly lower base tho

[nimble sinew]

I could go intel and do the ML360 sub zero AIO

then just OC!

[echo panther]

true

[little osprey]

you can OC everything to 5 GHZ

or 5.3

[nimble sinew]

My name is... SPEED

[echo panther]

intel stock cooler go brrrrrr

[little osprey]

lol, k series doesn't come with a stock cooler

[echo panther]

no cooler go brrrrrr

[little osprey]

[echo panther]

who needs a microwave I've got a cpu running 5.2 ghz

[nimble sinew]

But yeah.

[little osprey]

oh actually
the i7 has same turbo clock speed of the 3700xt

[nimble sinew]

Oh dang.

[little osprey]

1 core at 5.1ghz
7 cores at 4.7

[nimble sinew]

SPEED!

[little osprey]

but still you can OC all the clocks and get extra perf on multi core speed

[stoic island]

speed

[little osprey]

fast

[nimble sinew]

good ole noctua cooler

helps me maintain SPEED

and not get to HAWT

[little osprey]

Simp for noctua

[nimble sinew]

Noctua OP!

[sterile canopy]

should I get a mobo with or without wifi?

[nimble sinew]

do you use wifi?

[sterile canopy]

don't I need to get a wifi card for bluetooth?

[little osprey]

depends
but i would get a wifi card with bluetooth instead.

cheaper

[nimble sinew]

yeah.

[sterile canopy]

hm, cus I will be using ethernet connection over wifi so should I just get a wifi card separately then?

[nimble sinew]

or just a bluetooth dongle

[sterile canopy]

oh true like the usb ones correct?

[nimble sinew]

yeah.

[little osprey]

if you are using ethernet, then there is no point on getting wifi.

[sterile canopy]

hmm I think I might do that then!

its just that im moving to a new house and my room doesnt have an ethernet port

so i might have to get a wifi card on the side

[stoic island]

Also, usb wifi dongles are interesting (unstable)

usually pcie cards will be more stable

[sterile canopy]

I'm not too keen on running a 100 foot long ethernet cable throughout my house lol

[hollow grail]

if my interesting you mean "cause extreme suffering" then yea

[echo panther]

you can get a pci wireless wifi card for like 15 bucks

[sterile canopy]

oh bet

thanks for the tips

[echo panther]

fine 18 bucks

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN881ND-Wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B0079XWMEI

[sterile canopy]

where would this connect on a mobo?

oh wait nvm

[echo panther]

pci 8x slot

[sterile canopy]

^ thanks

[echo panther]

your mbo should have one

I use it and have never had problems

[sterile canopy]

sounds good. Appreciate it

[hollow grail]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YB7HSFZ/

or this

[sterile canopy]

👍

whats a good atx case? and should I go for one with a mesh front panel?

[stoic island]

Definitely mesh, what's gonna be the budget?

[sterile canopy]

my burget is around 1k canadian and i have around 600 to go for a psu, case, and a gpu

im getting some fans from a friend who has extra lying around

[echo panther]

what processor do you plan on

[stoic island]

whee time to check cad pricing

[sterile canopy]

ryzen 5 3400 g

[stoic island]

uh

mind if I just make a 1000cad list?

[sterile canopy]

should i upgrade it to a 3600?

sure go ahead!

if you could give me the reasoning behind the cpu you choose too that would be great!

[stoic island]

damn b550m pro vdh wifi price went up

[sterile canopy]

i read that the 3400 g for entry to pc building was a good cpu...

for gaming too

[stoic island]

yea, 3400g is just not a good option, it's a generation behind in terms of architecture, and your budget allows for a dGPU, so...

[echo panther]

there's a pretty good card for $240 usd on newegg but it will likely be out of stock soon

[sterile canopy]

ah kk

[echo panther]

oop it already is

[stoic island]

3400g is on Zen+, the same architecture as 2600 and 2700, while 3100 is on Zen 2, same architecture as 3600 and 3700x

[echo panther]

that thing was in stock for 2 hours jesus

[sterile canopy]

i was looking for a 3300 x but it was sold out

[stoic island]

anyways lemme see if this'll work with the budget

[sterile canopy]

okep

[echo panther]

you want a full atx case correct

[sterile canopy]

yep

or a midtower

either one works

[echo panther]

I would go for mid it'll be quite a bit cheaper

[sterile canopy]

thats what I was thinking

[stoic island]

GPU somewhat of a placeholder, and you can scale back on the case if you want on this
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gs8C4d

[sterile canopy]

woah! I like it

[stoic island]

oh, and you could get some more storage

improvements can definitely be made, but it's a start.

[echo panther]

this is a good card but it's rarely in stock at $240 USD https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-super-gv-n166sgaming-6gd/p/N82E16814932295

[hollow grail]

chuck the ol reliable 4tb blue in there

[sterile canopy]

i hoping to get atleast a 1 tb hdd

[stoic island]

LILI NO >:P

[hollow grail]

1tb hdd is waste of money

shut upppppppppp

4tb blue master race

[stoic island]

say it with me

bara

cuda

[sterile canopy]

bara

cuda

[stoic island]

anyways blue 4tb is quite a lot more than barracuda 2tb in cad

[hollow grail]

i hate seagate cause every time i see their consumer drives i hear this song in my head https://youtu.be/PeMvMNpvB5M

[stoic island]

lol

[sterile canopy]

dope build tho, but yeah I'll probs include a hdd

[hollow grail]

never buy 1tb hdd

[stoic island]

mhm

2tb at least

[hollow grail]

literally burning money

[sterile canopy]

ok

[hollow grail]

and how much more 1111

id say its worth

but

[stoic island]

Barracuda 2tb at 70cad is a good start

[still roost]

[CU] Duckl3t#3739 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[stoic island]

blue 4tb is 110cad

it's worth in terms of storage per dollar, but

[sterile canopy]

whoops

[stoic island]

budget :P

[hollow grail]

id say its worth

cause the use case for drives like that is like

[sterile canopy]

i could always ugrade storage later on

[hollow grail]

storing ur library if u have meh internet

want to play smth, migrate it to your ssd

[sterile canopy]

cloud servers lol

[stoic island]

that sounds like a pain

just play off the hdd :P

[hollow grail]

lmfao

[little osprey]

[hollow grail]

yeah im saying if its something that needs ssd

like cp

[stoic island]

cp?

[hollow grail]

cyberpunk

[sterile canopy]

i mean cod takes up all the space one could ever want

[stoic island]

ah

[hollow grail]

ssd is required spec

[stoic island]

lol

[echo panther]

just get like a 120gb ssd for OS and important things, then a 2tb hdd for other space

[stoic island]

nah man

[hollow grail]

no

[stoic island]

500gb ssd at least

120gb is just silly

[hollow grail]

that is awful advice

[sterile canopy]

how about we meet in the middle with a 250 gb

[little osprey]

120gb is pretty bad
even for OS

[stoic island]

Here's the thing

[hollow grail]

250gb and 512 is around same price lol

[sterile canopy]

oh

[stoic island]

too lazy to check cad pricing, but usually this is how it goes in usd,
250gb ssd ~50usd, 500gb ssd ~60usd.

it's just

why not go that step up

for double the storage

[hollow grail]

yeah

120gb ssd is useless

[stoic island]

yea we don't talk about 120gb

[hollow grail]

i have a few for cache and even then they suck

the one use i have for it

is in one of my seedboxes

[stoic island]

it barely fits fully installed windows + a few essentials

[hollow grail]

its nice to move stuff there and unrar

[stoic island]

and you shouldn't be filling up your ssd to the brim either

[sterile canopy]

so keep the ssd for os and fortnite got it

[stoic island]

o no

[hollow grail]

oh no

[sterile canopy]

oh no

[stoic island]

we don't speak of that game

[echo panther]

if fortnite is on the ssd just burn it

[sterile canopy]

lol, my bad I'll add fall guys instead

[hollow grail]

gutmann any drive thats touched either of those games

[sterile canopy]

also psu, semi or full?

[stoic island]

no performance difference, get the best quality

and Seasonic focus GM is great

[sterile canopy]

gotcha! thanks

[hollow grail]

seasonic is alright

[stoic island]

literally top tier

[foggy hazel]

technically it does not matter. Only matters IF you are working in a VERY cramped case

[hollow grail]

my one seasonic experience was getting a focus gm and having it blow up a test bench

but they replaced it

so

[stoic island]

it what

[hollow grail]

[sterile canopy]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/Y6Crxr/fractal-design-meshify-c-atx-mid-tower-case-fd-ca-mesh-c-bko-tg

[stoic island]

what did you do to the poor thing

[hollow grail]

popped the system lol

[stoic island]

lmao

[sterile canopy]

lookint at this

[hollow grail]

NOTHING

i was like wtf

[stoic island]

I mean

[foggy hazel]

it happens

[stoic island]

@sterile canopy look at the td500 mesh, it offers great performance with 3 stock fans at 120cad

[foggy hazel]

again, just normal statistics at work

[stoic island]

Meshify c is more expensive for less fans in cad

sadly

[sterile canopy]

okep

[hollow grail]

yep

[stoic island]

It's a case that makes more sense in usd

since it's like 80-90usd versus td500 mesh at 100usd

[hollow grail]

made it an easy choice to stick with BQ after that though

[stoic island]

lol

[sterile canopy]

i want some bbq

[hollow grail]

can i get an oof for that 1080

[foggy hazel]

as long as you eat it, and dont try to use it for the machine, go ahead @sterile canopy

[stoic island]

Now I have an image of someone making a typo for you to bring the "BQ" and you bringing a power supply to dinner @hollow grail

[sterile canopy]

bet, im craving some brisket. good news for me, my local bbq place is open 24/7

[hollow grail]

@stoic island i used to say be quiet but noobs thought i was telling them to stfu

[stoic island]

lol

[sterile canopy]

also for the 1660, how much better is the super

[stoic island]

@hollow grail you want a PSU? be quiet

[little osprey]

evga bbq 750w syrup certification

[stoic island]

you want a heatsink? be quiet smh

[ripe wedge]

or noctua

[stoic island]

issa joke

[ripe wedge]

ye lmao

[hollow grail]

sucks that the best reseller of bq stuff is hella racist

[stoic island]

what

EVGA?

[hollow grail]

BH photovideo

[stoic island]

what's wrong with bhp :(

[hollow grail]

conservative jews that were insanely racist

like racially segregated employee bathrooms level of racist

[echo panther]

in this day and age wth

[hollow grail]

hiring hispanics for cheap labor and barely paying them

[stoic island]

rip

moving on

[hollow grail]

yeah dont buy BH

[lyric sinew]

is there anything in particular i should look out for in a motherboard

[hollow grail]

Woo yea babey

Owo

the rams

[sterile canopy]

Sexy

[stoic island]

what are those?

die wise

[hollow grail]

wdym

[stoic island]

hm

is that 3600c19 or 3800c19

dunno why my first thought was b die when I saw flare x

[hollow grail]

3600

[stoic island]

sniper x

close enough

smexy ram tho

[hollow grail]

$150

[thorn garnet]

Motherboard and fans are running but I’m getting a black screen when connected to monitor? I’m trying to post

[jagged ember]

Heatsink where

Check your monitor connections

Unplug and replug, make sure your monitor is on

[thorn garnet]

I didn’t hear a click when I installed my GPU, is that right?

[upper cobalt]

push it in more i guess

[jagged ember]

You should lol

I'd reseat the gpu then

[little osprey]

make sure the cable is connected to the gpu aswell

[jagged ember]

Press down on the latch on the slot, please

[upper cobalt]

everything plugged in?

[jagged ember]

Don't yoink it out

[little osprey]

not on the motherboard

[jagged ember]

Guys lol slow down

[upper cobalt]

yeah check everything’s plugged in

[thorn garnet]

Testing again

Hmm still black screen

[jagged ember]

You sure you pushed in the gpu all the way?

You don't really need to treat it like glass, btw

It can take the force of a firm insert

[thorn garnet]

Using GT 720 until 3080 comes, it looks all the way in to me

[jagged ember]

Ooh mobo error light

What does it say

[thorn garnet]

Black screen so idk

[jagged ember]

No, on your motherboard

The orange light

[little osprey]

there is a led light

[thorn garnet]

Oh let me turn it on again

[jagged ember]

Ye

What motherboard, btw?

[thorn garnet]

X570 ASUS tuf

[jagged ember]

Noice

Could have gotten a P1 instead there, but that's not the point rn lol

[thorn garnet]

Dram light is on?

[jagged ember]

Aha

So remove your ram

And push them in one side at a time

You should hear two clicks

Open the latches on both sides fully, too

Again, it's okay to use some force pushing it in

The only part you don't wanna force in is the cpu lol

[thorn garnet]

Testing again

Still wrong I’ll try the other way

[little osprey]

or the cooler/mobo

[jagged ember]

Ehh

Fair enough
