sand falcon
#

We have a deal

urban trellis
#

oh ok

severe axle
#

@sand falcon I'd go for 3600mhz cl16 instead

stoic island
#

@sand falcon Personally don't like ML aios, mobo could be better or cheaper, 3600c16 ram is recommended, and PSU I feel you can get more for the price

#

more as in better

#

not just wattage

sand falcon
#

I couldn't find any better PSUs

#

Stock is bad 😦

stoic island
#

I think Seasonic focus GM 650w is still hovering 100$

sand falcon
#

Is it? I didn't see it

stoic island
sand falcon
#

Oh cool, wonder why pcpp didn't pick it up

molten cedar
#

Anyone available to make me a $1,500-2000 pc build for a 3070 ?

stoic island
#

@tardy kindle anyways the rest of the differences are small differences in like fan headers and rgb headers, I'm also not talking about VRMs since all of them are good nuff.

#

@molten cedar can you get your hands on a 3070?

#

Because 1500$+ is where you can fit a 3080 if you can get one near MSRP

molten cedar
#

I have the 3070 twin edge graphics card not a 3080 😦 @stoic island

stoic island
sand falcon
#

Main thing with the AIO/ram/mobo is guaranteed RGB compatibility

stoic island
#

rgb man smh

#

get trident z neo 3600c16 then

#

or trident z rgb 3600c16

sand falcon
#

How much?

stoic island
#

don't remember

#

prob ~80$?

#

what the hell

#

115$ for 2x8gb

jagged escarp
#

Question fellas. My AIO is on top should the fans be in intake or out?

frank isle
#

trident is expensive though. i've seen a 2 x 16 kit go for over $100.

stoic island
#

uhhhh

little osprey
#

yeah no z neos are over 100

stoic island
#

2x16 should be over 100$..?

urban trellis
#

@jagged escarp do you have other intakes

stoic island
#

dunno where you're looking for 2x16 under 100$ lol

tardy kindle
#

ok

sand falcon
#

Yeah

jagged escarp
sand falcon
#

$300 more all in all for 3600

urban trellis
#

ok then they sould be exaust

#

should

stoic island
#

@sand falcon you know if ballistix rgb will work?

#

because ballistix are nice die

frank isle
jagged escarp
#

oh ok i thought i so i followed the manual and it said intake which was akward to see

stoic island
#

and are good prices

sand falcon
#

Theoretically yes, but reports are spotty

stoic island
#

@frank isle 2x16gb of any decent ram goes over 100$

#

Yes trident goes higher than most other ram

sand falcon
#

Also, ya know, trident looks nice

frank isle
#

But for Trident it's usually an ungodly amount.

stoic island
#

but 100$ is a very unrealistic price for any rgb ram

#

dunno man

sand falcon
#

And these are showcase systems

stoic island
#

I spent like 160$ for my 3600c16 2x16gb kit

#

non-rgb you find 3600c16 2x16gb kits around 150$

molten cedar
#

I only have 3070 so what cpu and mb / other components do I pair it with

stoic island
#

@molten cedar one moment

little osprey
#

intel or amd??

stoic island
sand falcon
#

We actually were considering going 4x8gb, but decided against it

stoic island
#

IF you can get your hands on a 5600x

#

if not, I can retrofit it for a 10600k/10700k

urban trellis
#

I saw trident 3600 mhz Cl 16 for 120 cad which is like 100 usd

sand falcon
#

doubt

molten cedar
#

10600k /10700k good ?

stoic island
#

150cad is the cheapest I can see trident 3600c16 at

#

Yea they're good

#

@molten cedar want me to retrofit list?

molten cedar
#

Sure

stoic island
#

Need wifi?

little osprey
#

if you plan on buying now, then intel is probably the way to go since amd prices are overpriced lol and also stock

molten cedar
#

No I have Ethernet cable

urban trellis
#

Nvm it was Cl 18 not 16

molten cedar
#

And yeah now ish I guess

stoic island
#

oh yea forgot to swap the 3080 in the list for 3070

#

but yea

little osprey
#

isnt that same cooler in black but for a bit more?

stoic island
#

u12a black isn't out yet

little osprey
#

oh then im thinkin of another noctua cooler

stoic island
#

d15 black prob

little osprey
#

yeahh

molten cedar
stoic island
#

damn it

little osprey
#

lol

stoic island
#

@molten cedar I'll make the list white

little osprey
#

aio?

#

oh you have an aio in the list lol

#

the corsair h100i is a good one too its white

desert gulch
#

H100i overpriced

molten cedar
#

I know it’s expensive lol but honestly I’m not a hardcore gammer so I’d pay extra just to make very pretty 🤩😂

severe axle
#

isn't that the same for asus aios though?

little osprey
#

i see hes also going for an rog build lol

desert gulch
#

Strix overpriced imo

little osprey
#

yeah but rgb

#

🙂

molten cedar
#

I just thought it’d be weird to get a Corsair psu and a rog mb 😂

stoic island
#

Oh yea

#

lemme look for a white PSU

urban trellis
#

lol

desert gulch
#

I think thermaltake may have some

stoic island
#

hmm

#

CX-F white is nice but

#

no stock for 650w/750w

molten cedar
#

Yeah that’s why I have 850 :/ definitely don’t need it but I couldn’t find others

woven pumice
#

should i buy Asus TUF VG279QM 27 inch Full HD with 280Hz or Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27” Monitor, 1440P WQHD with 165Hz?

#

im confused on which is the best

little leaf
broken umbra
#

High end air coolers can be out low end AIOs for cooling if you have the space

young sphinx
broken umbra
#

The Noctua NH-D15 air cooler vs 5 of the most common AIOs

#

low end AIOs arent great, they're alright if you have space constraints

#

but a high end air cooler can beat it for marginally less

hasty bobcat
#

theyre quieter too

#

In 80% of use cases, giant air towers > AIOs

broken umbra
#

Yeah ^

verbal quarry
#

When is the next drop for the best buy 3060ti founders?

hasty bobcat
#

we

#

dont

#

know

verbal quarry
#

Ok thank you :)

broken umbra
#

we probably won't know til best buy tells us, but usually 1-2 weeks is the wait time between BB drops for most things @verbal quarry

verbal quarry
#

Alright is there a place for me to see when they release it?

hasty bobcat
#

falcodrin

broken umbra
#

constant monitoring

#

also any server with a stockbot/stockbuddy

#

like the Nvidia official server

verbal quarry
#

Is there one with the 3060?

broken umbra
#

Falcodrin has the 3060

#

as well as nvidia

wicked frigate
#

Hey guys can someone build me a really good gaming pc

#

1400

#

Budget

broken umbra
#

@wicked frigate Sure! Just gaming?

wicked frigate
#

Yes

verbal quarry
#

Funny enough

#

Thats what my budget is and I got mine setup

wicked frigate
#

But that your setup

#

I am only talking about 1400 pc

verbal quarry
#

I have a 1300 build rn that I can send to you

broken umbra
#

Could you stretch it to 1500?

#

it would be nice for 1440

wicked frigate
#

Without monitor

#

Only pc

broken umbra
#

only pc yeah

wicked frigate
#

Yah

#

Ok

#

Sure

#

But try not to

#

If u need to sure

broken umbra
#

gotchu

#

will do my best

wicked frigate
#

Ok thx

broken umbra
#

now note

wicked frigate
#

Yah

broken umbra
#

theres a huge part shortage

#

so for some you may have to wait

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Yah

#

But how long will it take u

#

Hey @verbal quarry can I see your build

verbal quarry
#

Sure wait one second ill send it

wicked frigate
#

Ok

verbal quarry
#

I swapped the 3060ti i had in there originally to a 3070

wicked frigate
#

Ok

verbal quarry
#

I can swap it back to the 3060 if its to over budget

wicked frigate
#

No

#

It’s ok

trim pelican
#

i got a 1400 pc build, but you should wait to buy the rtx3070 because they are overpriced

broken umbra
#

That's close to what I was thinking @verbal quarry but maybe if you don't need RGB, you could get 32gb of 3600MHz cl16 memory instead of 3200 so it has lower latency (8.88 ns vs 10 )

verbal quarry
#

Oo could you send me a link to that?

broken umbra
#

not to big of a difference

#

Yeah sure!

verbal quarry
#

I'm not a huge fan of rgb

wicked frigate
#

@broken umbra are you done

broken umbra
#

@wicked frigate Unknown_Target had like the optimal build I was thinking for 1400-1500

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

So is that build

#

I should get

#

Or this

verbal quarry
#

I spent a week worth of research to make that lol

#

I didnt know much when I started

#

Personally I like the more cores with the 3700x but its up to you

broken umbra
#

Or you could wait until Newegg does a sale on it again

#

brought it to like

#

130 iirc

wicked frigate
#

Wait

#

So rgb isn’t good

#

For ram

broken umbra
#

I mean RGB doesn't effect performance, it can just be more expensive

forest nexus
#

yo, i recently built my first pc and everything works great except for any of the rgb lights and i have no idea what the cause of this could be and i would really apreciate some help : )

wicked frigate
#

Brig I got rgb 32 3600

broken umbra
#

Like they sell the kit I just sent WITH RGB and its like 200$

wicked frigate
#

Cl16

#

Ok

broken umbra
#

yeah 3600 CL16 is good

#

thats 8.8 ns real world latency

#

@forest nexus did you connect it to the rgb header?

verbal quarry
#

Alex when you get the time I would love to see that link

trim pelican
#

is 32GB really needed? I got no trouble with 16GB of RAM

broken umbra
#

I sent it in chat :P forgot to ping

wicked frigate
#

@broken umbra so which build

verbal quarry
#

Ah I see it

#

Thank you :)

forest nexus
#

is that the square thing at the back of the case?

broken umbra
#

@forest nexus It would be on your mobo, which mobo do you have?

wicked frigate
#

@broken umbra should o get his build

forest nexus
#

those are my parts

verbal quarry
#

Oo ripjaws nice

wicked frigate
#

@verbal quarry

#

Post u build

broken umbra
#

@wicked frigate go with unknown_Target's build if you can spend the extra, the PCPartpicker build is exactly at your price point but it has half the ram and a bit of a slower cpu

wicked frigate
#

Ok

verbal quarry
wicked frigate
#

Wait how is it sower

broken umbra
#

The 5600x is marginally faster than the 5 3600

wicked frigate
#

Ok

broken umbra
#

I mean either is fine

wicked frigate
#

So is that a good on w

broken umbra
#

if you dont want to spend the extra its fine

wicked frigate
#

@verbal quarry post ur updated one

#

@broken umbra you want to see my other build

verbal quarry
#

The one with the ripjaws?

broken umbra
#

Sure!

wicked frigate
#

Yes

verbal quarry
#

Ok one sec

wicked frigate
#

@broken umbra let me find it

#

Here can I friend me

broken umbra
#

@forest nexus Do you mean case and fans RGB isn't working? The Asrock b450M motherboard has an aRGB header on it which it shoul dconnect to

verbal quarry
broken umbra
#

If you need extra fan headers or whatnot, you may need a hub

verbal quarry
#

@wicked frigate

#

Thats with the ripjaws

forest nexus
#

nah just the stock case rgbs arent

#

lemme check about the header

#

is it a cable???

wicked frigate
#

@broken umbra friend me

broken umbra
#

I'm checking, although I've never seen this case before @forest nexus

#

There should be a case header as well for the mobo

verbal quarry
#

I've seen it once

#

I dont remember where its located

forest nexus
#

hmm

Can someone find me a gaming pc pre-build Canada. That can run games at atleast 60-70

gleaming quartz
#

why pre-built?

#

alright though

sinful hornet
#

also what budget

#

and you're 100% uncomfortable with building a pc?

#

have you ever watched a pc build video?

ornate zephyr
#

Sabrent 512GB nvme OR WD SN750 NVME?

balmy patio
#

which sabrent

merry bear
little osprey
#

the h510 is such a bad case for airflow

wicked frigate
#

Hey guys can anyone make a 1400 build for gaming

#

Please dm me I have to go

little osprey
#

i have a problem with getting a PC right now...

#

i could get all the parts except for a GPU
but if i wait months before a GPU magically appears

#

how do i know the parts that i already got work before the wild GPU appears

balmy patio
#

get a cheap gpu

#

like a 710 or sum

#

or if your chip has an igpu, just boot off of that

little leaf
#

Anyone say double 3070

desert gulch
#

is that even possible?

#

i thought you couldnt sli a 3070 or 3080

#

only 3090

little osprey
#

that takes away from my budget...
guess ill have to increase my budget

#

looks at other kidney 👀

verbal quarry
#

Not that I see no

#

Personally I would go a 4tb hdd for like $10 more

desert gulch
#

@little osprey a few things i see

#

id go with a samsung 970 evo if its on sale where you are

#

they have a mega sale here

#

same price as sn750 or cheaper

#

id also say cpu is a bit expensive rn

#

@verbal quarry just so you know, that list is in CAD, not USD

verbal quarry
#

Yea I saw that after I said it

desert gulch
#

yup

verbal quarry
#

But my point still stands

desert gulch
#

also the 4tb barracuda is slower

#

its a 5400rpm

verbal quarry
#

True

desert gulch
#

so id rather go with a 7200rpm 2tb for cheaper

#

most people dont need 4.5 tbs

verbal quarry
#

Good point

#

I got a 500gb m.2 that'll run most of everything while games stay on the hdd

#

And I have issues with storage on the 2tb I have now

little osprey
#

bruh

#

this is the 4th link today

verbal quarry
#

Did he change anything to it originally?

little osprey
#

i have no ideia but spamming the same link isn't gonna help

verbal quarry
#

True

muted patio
#

I don't see anything wrong with that

#

By the way, you can change the build and still use the same link

little leaf
#

@foggy hazel could it be the motherboard?

#

because I just got a new kit and it seem s to have the same reacuring problem of being unstable during games.

foggy hazel
#

@little leaf it could, its the last part that has not been changed no?

little leaf
#

that or the cpu

sterile canopy
foggy hazel
#

@little leaf keep in mind, what you are going through is "normal" troubleshooting, one part at a time, test, test, test, keep on going through ALL the variations

#

and yes, i am aware it is mindbendingly annoying to experience

little leaf
#

I"ve done everything besides switching the cpu

#

but I also don't have another cpu

foggy hazel
#

you on a stock cooler or?

#

@little leaf see above

little leaf
#

New

#

9900k

#

its a ml120

#

coolermaster 2

foggy hazel
#

have you tested that the cooler is actually mounted with equal pressure @little leaf ?

little leaf
#

no but thermals seem fine

worn cedar
#

Are stock coolers bad

foggy hazel
#

thermals are not the problem @little leaf

#

unequal pressure = cpu acting up

#

if you tigthen things "just" right, you can cut off things like half the memory channels

little leaf
#

Should I remount

#

Or just tighten

foggy hazel
#

remount please

#

its worth a shot you know?

#

:)

#

otherwisee your better off with a 3070 or even a 3060 ti

#

hey everyone so i built my first pc yesterday and i plugged in all the cables right and everything and when i tried to turn it on i had no post

#

f

#

check every component

ornate zephyr
#

Check your CPU :/

arctic jungle
#

make sure everything is plugged in

ornate zephyr
#

if not

arctic jungle
#

cpu is least likely

little osprey
#

i did make sure everything is plugged in

ornate zephyr
#

Check all you hardware

#

could be a hardware fault

little osprey
#

should i unplug all the power cables from the psu and just turn it on and see if the psu is dead

#

cus i think thats what it is

ornate zephyr
#

do you have an old PSU you test it with?

little osprey
#

no this is my first build

#

i dont have access to another psu

#

did u make sure to brush off the gold pins on the cpu? they may be interfering with the cpu connection

glacial umbra
#

questions

balmy patio
#

answers

glacial umbra
#

is it worth the risk to go with a low profile 1650 with 200W?

#

or stick with the 1030

little osprey
#

1650 would be a considerable upgrade but kinda bad for the price

#

is your case a sff?(small form factor)

#

if it's not, i would go with rx 570/580 used.

glacial umbra
#

yeah I'm pretty sure it is

#

I'd have to ask my friend

#

no idea what prebuilt he bought yet so

little osprey
#

oh

glacial umbra
#

yeah prebuilt troubles

little osprey
#

if his psu is a 500w and not a sff case
he can buy a rx 570 for like 100-120
or even less.

#

though thats gonna depends on the country

glacial umbra
#

yeah I've seen that kind of price

#

low enough anyway

#

@silent canyon get an X570 motherboard or a B550 ATX and 3600 mhz ram cl 16 and change case to a Corsair 4000D airflow or Corsair icue 220T and get a 80+gold psu or better

Different links

#

heckin what

#

Lian li

#

🙂

muted patio
#

I mean, if you're gonna go full size case, might wanna get an ATX motherboard and give yourself some room

urban trellis
#

Yes

muted patio
#

unless mATX has all you need

#

Then keep it

urban trellis
#

@muted patio do Lian Li cases have good airflow

muted patio
#

Realistically, that 2nd PCI-E slot will never be used. Consideration is RAM slots and SATA ports and NVME slots.

#

Generally, yes, Lian Li has good airflow

urban trellis
#

Oh ok

#

Do you know which 1660 ti is he best

#

I was thinking if making a budget pc

muted patio
#

Honestly, the performance difference from a couple hundred MHZ core clock is negligible

#

SO pick the brand/look you like and go for it

urban trellis
#

Ok thx

muted patio
#

Also

#

They overclock REALLY well

#

so just DIY and save some money

silent canyon
urban trellis
#

Yea Imma overclock

muted patio
#

I don't see any issues there

urban trellis
#

@silent canyon that looks good

muted patio
#

Looks pretty solid

urban trellis
#

Yep

#

On the website that I'm on it says boost clock is 1845 mhz on a 1660 ti

muted patio
#

Yeah you can pump that

urban trellis
#

Should I go over that or is that what I should go to

muted patio
#

Check the JayZ video

on overclocking the 1660TI

#

and they have a fan hub

urban trellis
#

What company fans

crude lagoon
#

that uses molex aaaaand my psu doesnt have molex

muted patio
#

Run it with the side panel off until your fans come

#

It'll be find

urban trellis
#

What is the fan company

#

Or does it even have one

#

Are they uphere fans?

crude lagoon
#

no

#

uhh i can try to find it

urban trellis
#

Ok

#

I've heard good things about uphere fans

#

Are your fans RGB or just normal

crude lagoon
#

rgb

urban trellis
#

Ok

crude lagoon
#

theyre like 6 pins or something?

urban trellis
#

Then you should be able to plug them into ur motherboard

crude lagoon
#

i just know its not normal fan connecter

urban trellis
#

Oh

#

Idk then

muted patio
#

Oohhhh

#

might need the hub for those

crude lagoon
#

yea but the hub uses molex

#

and i dont have

urban trellis
#

What motherboard do you have

crude lagoon
#

and its already shipped

urban trellis
#

Oh

crude lagoon
#

PRIME B460M-A

muted patio
#

So get a SATA to MOLEX adapter

#

easy peasy

crude lagoon
#

the molex connecter is female

#

i tried looking for a male sata to a male molex

#

but i cant find

muted patio
#

This is MALE Molex

urban trellis
#

Or if u can refund get uphere fans they come with a hub you can get 3 fans or 6 3 fans for 25 and 6 for 50 usd and they plug into your RGB 3 pin header on your motherboard

muted patio
#

You saying it's different?

crude lagoon
#

where does the sata plug in?

muted patio
#

To a SATA power connector on your power supply

#

Owait

#

you need one of these

#

hang on

crude lagoon
#

but thats female molex

muted patio
#

No

#

Pins inside is MALE molex

#

This is female molex

#

SOckets

#

You need Pins or Sockets?

crude lagoon
#

for which one? the new egg?

#

pins

#

cauyse the fan hub thing is female

muted patio
#

You need Pins, that's Male Molex

#

KK, stand by

somber marsh

@foggy hazel if this next kit of ram is unstable Im gonna assume its the mobo or cpu

#

Since i just tried a different 3070

slender flax
#

so this is my first time building a pc (this is actually for my sister) but im just wondering if everything is compatible or if there are any issues, a lot of this stuff is for the aesthetics of it. Also, how would I go about getting white cables for everything?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xm8BGq

muted patio
slender flax
#

alright, how do i know which ones i will need?

#

do i just need one of the "full cable kits"?

muted patio
#

Power SUpply = V750

#

So pretty much any of those kits with V750 in them

slender flax
#

alright thx

muted patio
#

YW

#

As far as the build goes, that's a helluva build

little leaf
#

Wow your really nice to your sister

slender flax
#

haha, no shes buying most of it herself

#

im just helping her pick out the parts

little leaf
#

Very nice besides the fact your buying 100 dollar windows

#

Oh I see

#

Ok well I think you can improve the list

#

Whats the main purpose of the list

slender flax
#

mainly just the aesthetics of it, that's what it's centered around

muted patio
#

ye, all white is kinda spendy

slender flax
#

yeah

little leaf
#

Oh yes thats ok

#

First of all there are cheaper all white aios

slender flax
#

yeah, we went over them and she chose this one

little leaf
#

I belive there is cheaper white rgb ram

slender flax
#

ah that would be helpful

little leaf
#

@slender flax ok but the fact is that your getting a 3070 in a 2.5k build

#

It just makes me feel sad even if it’s mainly for looks

#

First try looking at tge gigabyte vision 3080

#

This would fit thr build better

hollow grail
#

also idk about uhh

#

that ssd

slender flax
#

alright i convinced her to get the 3080

hollow grail
#

qlc is gross

little leaf
#

Second instead maybe get a mp34

#

And a larger hdd to save like 50 bucks

#

The o11 is very pricey

#

And the smaller one is 100

hollow grail
#

id get a 2tb rocket instead tbh

slender flax
#

okay so what is qlc and mp34?

hollow grail
#

qlc=bad

little leaf
#

@hollow grail were trying to save money here

#

Lol

hollow grail
#

mp34 is cheap ssd by teamgroup

little leaf
#

The build is 2.5k

hollow grail
#

that does alright

#

people here like it

little leaf
#

And has a 3070

muted patio
#

2500? Try 3500 lol

#

$900 in monitors

hollow grail
slender flax
#

alright i switched it to 3080 now

little leaf
#

@slender flax whats the main purpose

hollow grail
#

im saying if you do spend on 2tb of ssd make sure it isnt trash tier

little leaf
#

Video editing?

slender flax
#

shes gonna be streaming, gaming, and video editing, with some light programming

#

also doesnt want to have to upgrade for a good while

little leaf
#

Maybe save moneh and do a 5800x but

#

Idk thats your choice

#

I would grt cheaper fans

hollow grail
#

def dont get that intel drive tho

#

i dont like those one bit

little leaf
#

220 on fans is excessive and I also wouldnt get the bigger o11 the regular one is already big

slender flax
#

oh is this case a larger version?

little leaf
#

Also personally I wanted a really good looking build then when I got it I looked at it for 30 seconds lmao

hollow grail
#

my next step is to rackmount everything lol

#

so i feel u on that

slender flax
#

lol yeah, thing is im just doing whatever she wants since i wouldnt get any of this if it was my build

hollow grail
#

just get cheaper fans and better storae

#

storage

#

and ur set

little leaf
#

Yes the case you chose is the xl type

#

I personally wouldn’t get that

slender flax
#

can you link the non xl? gotta be silver or white though, cant see it on the list

little leaf
#

It ha rissen in price though

#

So if you want just go with thr other one

slender flax
#

alright that seems to work, thanks

#

cant find cheaper ram with rgb though

#

should i look elsewhere than the pcpartpicker lists?

muted patio
#

no, that's about the cheapest RAm you'll find at that speed

#

I checked

little leaf
#

I guess the one I had in mind is more expensive

slender flax
little leaf
#

I cant really tell since im on molbile rn

slender flax
#

i dont really know much about ssds so im just relying on reviews

muted patio
#

Stay away from ADATA

#

Recent class action against them

#

Swapping components for other than advertised speeds

slender flax
#

ah ok

#

should i just get the WD blue for an extra $20?

muted patio
#

Ok, no lawsuit yet but caught red handed

little leaf
#

My adata ssd failed. In 2 months

#

Losing all my data

slender flax
little leaf
#

Not that ssd lol

#

Thats sata

muted patio
#

Hey

#

white RGB fans

#

Cheap

#

$50 3 pack

little leaf
#

Dont buy windows at 100 dollars

#

@slender flax your ssd is sata and you can get windoes for like 10 bucks

slender flax
#

oh okay

muted patio
#

honestly

#

Between NVME and SATA, the loading times for games and OS is almost no difference

little leaf
#

Ya but there the same price

#

Ish

little osprey
muted patio
#

It's all white themed

#

That's expensive

little leaf
#

White is expensive

muted patio
#

Plus $900 in monitors

slender flax
#

yeah, whole point is to keep it white themed lol

muted patio
#

I did find cheaper fans though

#

Save you $100

little osprey
little leaf
#

My idea is just a cardboard box and shove a pc into it

slender flax
little leaf
#

No case needed

muted patio
#

Milk crate PC

#

Yes

#

Toaster pc

little osprey
#

#

Let me cook a pop tart in my pc

slender flax
#

same price but nvme

#

yeah someone did send this one before

little leaf
#

@slender flax no they didnt

#

The one you linked is worse

slender flax
#

oh it is different

#

why is this one worse?

muted patio
#

QLC nand instead of TLC

#

The memory cheap technology

#

*chip

slender flax
#

is the better one worth the extra $30 though?

muted patio
#

IMO, yes

#

Swap out the fans for these

#

and make up the difference

slender flax
muted patio
#

That video card isn't white though

#

It's a bronzy color

slender flax
#

yeah, we were planning on painting it white

muted patio
#

KK

#

Leave it alone and roll, although you can save a bit on the AIO with a cooler master model

#

Up to you

#

What's $100 in the $3500 number LOL

#

not much

little osprey
#

@slender flax btw, you going use that pc for?

muted patio
#

All white build

#

It's expensive

tired harbor
#

yes it was

muted patio
#

Streaming, gaming and video editiing

#

it's a good build

little osprey
#

ah

slender flax
#

^^

muted patio
#

Ye

tired harbor
#

idk why white parts are more expensive but they are by a king shot

muted patio
#

Big time

it's kinda silly lol

cables are hard to find atm

wooo

nimble sinew

I might actually have a computer at this rate!

@tired harbor shush

slender flax
muted patio
#

that's not the right cable kit

#

That's for a Corsair PSU

#

not a Cooler Master

slender flax
#

hmm

muted patio
#

Yeah, I'm looking too

#

woooooow

#

Can't find them in stock anywhere

#

Might have to wait for those

nimble sinew
#

I wish my cpu cooler was white 😢

#

Hi lili!

slender flax
#

could switch psu to corsair? looking if they have white one

muted patio
#

Bro

#

It comes with white cables

#

Not even lying

tired harbor
#

true

muted patio
#

XD

#

Just checked the Cooler Master Website

#

So I'd say you're done

#

@slender flax

slender flax
#

wow didnt know that

muted patio
#

Me neither

slender flax
#

makes my job and yours a lot easier lol

muted patio
#

That's cool though

#

Yes it does!

slender flax
#

alright nice, so if we got these parts and build it, they should all be compatible and work right?

muted patio
#

ye

slender flax
#

nicee

#

alright thank you guys for all your help, just saved about $300 haha

muted patio
#

Welcome!

#

Only thing is

#

Might have to use the BIOS flashback feature to update BIOS before CPU will work

#

Not a big deal

nimble sinew
#

I don't think I put enough thermal paste on my m.2's

slender flax
#

yeah

#

alright thank you! :)

muted patio
#

YW

#

It says ready for Ryzen 5000 though so probably not

#

Just a heads up

nimble sinew
#

I think I've done it.

#

I've never installed a heat sink onto an nvme drive before.

#

It looks so much cleaner now.

#

Oh my gosh.

#

This noctua cooler is so massive.

#

it barely fits in this case.

little leaf
#

@nimble sinew are you joking lol

nimble sinew
#

I wish I was.

#

It is just barely touching the glass!

#

It's so big!

little leaf
#

You put paste on you m.2

nimble sinew
#

oh

#

Yeah.

#

I used thermal tape.

little leaf
#

Well I wouldnt do that t

#

The sticker on it is a heat spreader

#

And the thing you put ontop is like a heatsync

nimble sinew
#

I took the sticker off.

little leaf
#

I see

#

Your just making it more complicated for your self lol

nimble sinew
#

honestly yeah.

#

but it's looking very clean

little leaf
#

Also im pretty sure that voids warranty

nimble sinew
#

Yeah, probably.

#

but it's fine!

little leaf
#

So ya whatever

nimble sinew
#

I mean, it's looking very pretty right now.

#

I just need my case fans and PSU and then I begin assembly.

#

I wanted the heatsink to cover the ugly green pcb

#

Which it does very well.

little leaf
#

What green pc

#

Pcb

nimble sinew
#

You can't see it anymore 😄

little leaf
#

For what though

nimble sinew
#

the nvme

#

it's an intel nvme

little leaf
#

Oh jntel ssd bad

little osprey
#

Is i7 9700f and 3060ti good for builds

little leaf
#

Ish

#

Idk why you would usr a 9700f though

hollow grail
#

intel ssd is garbage

#

at least consumer

Hi guys, so right now I have a HP Pavilion Power 530-180. It's in a pre-built tower 14" x 7" x 14" which is a mini tower size I think. Do you think it will fit into a mid tower?

pearl blade
#

Mid tower is bigger than mini I would think

#

The problem is only that oem boards might have different layout

My friend wanted to build a $800 pc

#

Can u guys help me with that

little osprey
#

will this work in gaming use

#

or is it for servers only

#

it is cl18 3600mhz

#

16 2x8

hollow grail
#

that is not for servers at all

#

note unbuffered and non ECC

#

will be fine for your use

last lance
#

Hey folks I am new to the server but I literally just bought a new computer and built it, I am getting the blue screen of death either once or multiple times a day, I have checked to make sure my drivers are up to date, reformatted the entire computer (operating system up) and I am still getting it, my guess is there is a faulty memory that is dumping incorrectly. What do you suggest because this is crazy the computer is less than a month old. I can post the parts as neeeded, my roommate and i built almost identical computers and his is not crashing. SO I am guessing I have a faulty part.

little osprey
#

list the specs

little osprey
#

@last lance

#

can the r5 1600af support ram faster than 2667mhz

#

because that is what the amd site stated

last lance
little osprey
#

.

#

i hate mee6

hollow grail
little osprey
#

@last lance DON"T USE ROSEWILL PSUS

#

I was wondering...if I wanted to use ray tracing on more than just cyperpunk thru GeForce Now, could I get the PNY 2060S and just swap between that and my 5700XT?

#

I'd really only use the 2060S for Cyberpunk and Minecraft

hollow grail
#

thats so dumb wtf

little osprey
#

Well I'd get a 6800XT but those are either sold out or overpriced

hollow grail
#

why not sell the 5700xt and get a 30 series card cause amd gets stomped by nvidia still

little osprey
#

And a 2060 is cheaper than a 3060

hollow grail
#

yes but youre not factoring in your current gpu's cost

little osprey
#

And because my monitors are free-sync

hollow grail
#

nvidia cards do freesync

little osprey
#

I thought they were G-sync

hollow grail
#

they do botj

#

both

little osprey
#

What's the difference?

hollow grail
#

gsync is better because its hardware based

#

like the display has hw in it

#

special chip

#

freesync works alright though and just means the displays have to have panels that are to spec

#

its all software

#

since its all software nvidia just patched it in

#

i hate nvidia but amd isnt viable tbh

#

theyre a bit less but you get much less

#

in terms of features

little osprey
#

Well if I went 3000, I would get the asus ko 3070, which even if I sold my 5700xt, I still couldn't afford

hollow grail
#

whas ur budget?

little osprey
#

Under $500

hollow grail
#

2060 isnt too great either tbh

#

waste of money to have multi gpu like that

little osprey
#

Well I can get the asus rog strix gaming advanced 2060 S for $490

hollow grail
#

youd literally have to be a total idiot to do that

#

i say that in the kindest way possible

little osprey
#

Or an evga ultra for 437

hollow grail
#

or

#

keep eyes peeled

#

and

#

boop

#

529

little osprey
#

Is a msi gaming trio 3070 for $692 worth it?

#

Cause of so, I'd wait for that

hollow grail
#

evga makes the best cards

little osprey
#

Well, I have an msi motherboard so I figured controlling the gpu would be easier

hollow grail
#

not worth tbh

sullen spoke
#

matching brands doesn’t really serve any benefit besides rgb software, which they are all terrible

hollow grail
#

^^^

#

id rather go with evga because their support is second to none

hasty bobcat
#

^

#

also, iCue and EVGA's rgb software is p good

gleaming quartz
#

evga has better warranty while MSI has slightly better specs

hasty bobcat
#

wrong

#

MSi has abysmal support and cant even match EVGA

hollow grail
#

wrong on both @gleaming quartz

#

well wrong on msi specs

#

theyre meh

#

and (imo) build worse

#

gleaming ginkgo
#

Can some1 help me? I am trying to connect my pc to my monitor and i plugged everything in but it wont connect. Im using a hdmi cable.

hasty bobcat
#

MSi is average on performance and support is trash

#

their Ventus line sucks and I've been 0-2 on them

hollow grail
#

msi support is so bad that in order to get a laptop warrantied i had to threaten to cancel a corporate contract

gleaming quartz
#

jeez

hollow grail
#

$4.5k laptop

#

0 support

#

evga on the other hand

#

oh my god

gleaming quartz
#

i have never had to call support for my MSI stuff before so thanks for clearing that up

hollow grail
#

theyre textbook amazing

hasty bobcat
#

^

hollow grail
#

@gleaming quartz my 980 had an issue

#

my fault

#

evga sent over a 1080 as a free replacement

hasty bobcat
#

DAMN

hollow grail
#

and let me keep the 980

gleaming quartz
#

wow

#

thats awesome

hollow grail
#

customer for life

hasty bobcat

^^^^^^

hollow grail
#

so yeah i shill them but its for a good reason

gleaming quartz
#

yeah i can see why

hollow grail
#

my friend

#

his msi 1080 literally

#

EXPLODED

#

and caught on fire

#

msi told him to pound sand

#

and my friend is a smart guy

#

electrical engineer

gleaming quartz
#

wow.

hollow grail
#

he had the tools to determine it was 100% the card

#

and not psu or anything like that

#

card was just built like trash

gleaming quartz
#

what card was it?

hasty bobcat
#

their cards are garbage

hollow grail
#

i forgot but it was one of their higher end 1080s

#

msi is trash tier imo

#

gpu wise

#

i like some of their boards though

gleaming quartz
#

their boards are good

hollow grail
#

some are

broken umbra
#

EVGA has always been good for like all around being a solid company

evga is an admirable company

The best company

Has to be the ones

That make anime

#

😎

zinc marsh
#

I'd probably use it to run like a minecraft server or something lmao

#

but out of those options I would probably go with a portable vr pc

little osprey
#

and their trash cards

#

Is it worth buying an alienware desktop?

#

The AMD version.

#

Or would it be better to build my own pc.

hollow grail
#

dont buy from big companies

little osprey
#

build your own pc

hollow grail
#

you want prebuilt? get from someone reputable like xoticpc

zinc marsh
#

well of course building is going to be much cheaper and you can make sure that it has reliable parts

hollow grail
zinc marsh
#

depends on what you're building and what prebuilt company you're buying from tbf

little osprey
#

You know what makes me laugh, is I almost had an omen when I applied for dell credit for a prebuilt. The application didn't go through because of dell's side.

#

So maybe its a good omen

#

Telling me to go elsewhere

zinc marsh
#

but yeah the price difference is a lot less noticeable now

hollow grail
#

@zinc marsh id argue its better to get prebuilt nowadays

#

since you dont get scalped on gpu/cpu

zinc marsh
#

I mean in our current situation yeah

hollow grail
zinc marsh
#

but once these parts are actually in stock that wont be true

little osprey
#

Sounds good lili

#

Honestly I would get from a builder like xotic then. Because of warranties and stuff

#

If something goes bad on a custom self built, gotta send individual parts back. From a builder, send em everything and let em fix it

little osprey
zinc marsh
#

hopefully we will start seeing rtx 2000 series going for much cheaper within a few months

#

I mean obviously it's going to stay expensive until parts are actually in stock

muted patio
#

RTX 2K is discontinued

#

Only gonna go up

nViudia quit making them in July or something

zinc marsh

You sure? I mean why would people want to buy em if there are better options for cheaper msrp

hollow grail
#

yep theyre discontinued
