zealous edge
#

Any idea on how to change the argb on a cm fan?

#

with an aorus mobo

little osprey
#

I gtg I’m tierd and I have school

#

Tomorrow

median horizon
#

Get cm software

#

Since the mobo shouldn’t affect your rgb on other brands

zealous edge
#

Whats it called tho

#

Because all I can find is the software for the module

#

Super odd

median horizon
#

I believe Cooler Master should have it on their website

zealous edge
#

Is there a GPU software for gigabyte aorus or just gigabyte GPUS?

upper cobalt
#

what gpu do you have

#

it doesn’t matter which partner card it is

foggy hazel
#

@zealous edge please show a shot of your device manager

#

zealous edge
#

Sure

foggy hazel
#

ctrl +v here to post it

#

well done @narrow rose heck knows why it started working thou

zealous edge
#

What do u want a shot of?

foggy hazel

Device manager

zealous edge

narrow rose
#

@foggy hazel lol your guess is as good as mine

foggy hazel
#

zealous edge
#

o lol

foggy hazel
#

right click your start button

#

select device manager

#

alrighty, thank you

zealous edge
#

sure

#

But why lol?

foggy hazel
#

because it would show potential missing drivers

zealous edge
#

O

Is there a specific aorus gpu controller?

#

or gpu manager from gigabyte?

#

I know I used to have a 1050 from gigabyte a while ago

#

and it had its own software

#

Everything is good with my new pc!

#

Naed even checked drivers

#

Ready to do

Nice

jagged escarp
severe axle
#

I've heard that its known to cause issues when other rgb control softwares are running

jagged escarp
#

oh so cant run icue?

#

got light profiles and fans attached

real grove
#

Does the asus b550-f (NON-WIFI) have Bluetooth?

#

Or does only the wifi one have it?

little osprey
#

Also- is it better to find a motherboard w/wifi built in or no

stoic island
#

@real grove wifi means bt, no wifi no bt

ruby schooner
#

I dont know if this is normal but i played csgo for about an 30 minutes to an hour but and after that shut the pc down and went into the bios and my cpu temp was at 30°C, my cooler is the h100i elite capellix and room temp was around 27°C

next kestrel
#

thats normal

whole harbor
#

why get a gt 1030

#

Might as well get an apu

#

At that point

ruby schooner
#

@next kestrel thx, im new to pc stuff i havent had one for years but trying to get back into it. Just finished my first build with a 5800x, and a strix 3080

next kestrel
#

nice! glad to hear u got ur hands on those parts lol

ruby schooner
#

@next kestrel i got lucky my card almost declined but i was able to transfer money before it charged my card

#

@next kestrel the pic of my build is in build pics if you wanna see

next kestrel
#

looks great!

little osprey
ruby schooner
#

@next kestrel until you see my cable management, i tried my best but i didnt want to bend the cables in a weird way

little osprey
next kestrel
#

hey, if you dont see it and it doesnt cover up airflow, its probably fine

#

@little osprey get an APU

little osprey
#

What is that

next kestrel
#

CPU with integrated graphics

little osprey
#

a cpu with a gpu inside.

next kestrel
#

specifically the 3200G or the 3400G

little osprey
#

That?

next kestrel
#

yea

#

same GPU perf as the 1030

little osprey
#

so I would have no need in buying a video card

next kestrel
#

yea

little osprey
#

Alright bet

#

I saved like 85$

#

or you known
get a used gpu lol

#

I want everything brand new

next kestrel
#

there's dangers of buying used

little osprey
#

I don't wanna get something used & it not work

ruby schooner
#

You should wait for zen 3 apu's they would be pretty good hopefully looking at what they already released this year

little osprey
#

This is my build so far

next kestrel
#

first used RX 580 i bought i got scammed lol

#

@ruby schooner AMD has no plans of releasing those APUs out to the consumer

little osprey
#

I normally change it when i find something better or something the same thing & cheaper

little osprey
ruby schooner
#

@next kestrel oh, maybe they will come up with it in the future

next kestrel
#

hopefully

#

that sounds really cool for HTPC builds

little osprey
next kestrel
#

also, 16gb of ram would probably be worth

little osprey
#

It's like saying

next kestrel
#

since its around 10$ more

ruby schooner
#

Im wondering what the prices are going to be for the lower model zen 3 and the 3050 or 3060

little osprey
#

I want this type of shirt but it's used & has some holes but I found the same shirt on Amazon for about 10-20$ more

#

a shirt is different lol

#

Not really- Its something you are using for years til something a- comes out better or b- you don't like it anymore

next kestrel
#

the used market is not for everyone

little osprey
#

a shirt is most of time cheap
while a gpu is not
the same price of a 1030 can also buy a rx 570/580

ruby schooner
#

If nvidia releases the 3050 for under 200 dollars it will probably be the best value card you could buy

next kestrel
#

and you have to recognize that

little osprey
upper cobalt
next kestrel
#

LOL nvidia is def gonna do around 300

little osprey
upper cobalt
#

very unlikely

next kestrel
#

its ok

#

we can all dream

fervent quail
#

If it is 300 then I will be curious how it stacks against the 1660ti

next kestrel
little osprey
ruby schooner
#

Depends, i think they are coming out with a 6gb 3060 or that might be the 3050

next kestrel
#

it'll prob get around 2070 perfs

#

imo

upper cobalt
#

maybe prices for the 3090 will go down to 800 next year because people realize titans are a better value

next kestrel
#

nah

little osprey
#

3050 rumored to be less or close to 2060 perf

#

not 2070 lol

next kestrel
#

nvidia premiums lol

#

the 2080ti went down to around 1k before 3000 announcement

fervent quail
#

Building my sister her first rig and am stuck putting a 550ti in it since it's the only card I have lying about and its impossible to get any form of budget card atm lol

upper cobalt
little osprey
fervent quail
#

Yeah

ruby schooner
#

Nothings in stock right now my friend had to buy a prebuilt

next kestrel
#

nvm thats a broken one lol

fervent quail
#

Lol

upper cobalt
#

works majority of the time

next kestrel
#

here we go

upper cobalt
#

damn i’m playing cold war rn and my pc sounds like a busy airport

next kestrel
#

this ones been used for mining for sure

ruby schooner
#

I would be scared buying a miner card

next kestrel
#

but it does have the gaming bios

fervent quail
#

I got the rest of the parts for like 600 including a 3600 so pretty happy with it aside from the gpu

next kestrel
#

nice!

#

this is an option

ruby schooner
#

Try to go for a 5600xt

next kestrel
#

i know its overpriced, but its in stock and its a good match for the 3600

upper cobalt
upper cobalt
fervent quail
#

This is a Xmas gift so she can save for a new card herself lol

little osprey
fervent quail
#

Already breaking the bank with it lmao

ruby schooner
next kestrel
#

mining cards do have a risk

#

wait no

#

that is not a fair price

upper cobalt
#

they do

#

they could have no video out

next kestrel
#

ever

fervent quail
#

Thats a rip @ruby schooner lol

upper cobalt
#

that’s insane

next kestrel
#

no way LMAO

fervent quail
#

Its usually like 220-250 depending on brand

next kestrel
#

i bought my 1660 super at a microcenter a year ago for 210$

little osprey
#

it's a high risk
high reward
but the risk can be lowered if you do your reseach and make sure to check with the seller of the card.

upper cobalt
#

well 30 day returns

next kestrel
#

or if u use safe transaction

upper cobalt
#

🤷‍♂️

next kestrel
#

such as ebay

#

yea lol

upper cobalt
#

yeah

little osprey
#

ye

upper cobalt
#

you can also bring a test bench to a starbucks or smth

ruby schooner
next kestrel
#

5500xt = RX 580

little osprey
next kestrel
#

might as well buy new RX 580

ruby schooner
#

Well at least its new

fervent quail
#

On another note, does anyone have experience modding a usb3 hub?

upper cobalt
#

wdym

fervent quail
#

@ruby schooner you shouldn't have to settle for at least its new, better to wait a few months for the market to stabilize and get a real deal

little osprey
ruby schooner
#

@fervent quail but people got to be willing to be patient

fervent quail
#

@upper cobalt working on making a rgb lit usb 3.0 hub using a cheap hub and taking 1 of the ports to power the lights, then cutting off the cable and replacing it with a usb 3 port

whole bluff
ruby schooner
#

I watched my phone for a month straight on discord and twitter and was able to finally get a 3080 on friday

upper cobalt
upper cobalt
ruby schooner
#

3080 strix for 850 but i got a combo so i have to return the other item

fervent quail
#

I'm waiting for the market to stabilize and hoping asus makes a watefblocked model for the 3080ti

#

Until then my 1070 is still holding its own

ruby schooner
#

3080ti aib cards are going to be at least $1050

#

I am thinking

#

Also i found this dont know if its a good deal though, its shipped by newegg too

upper cobalt
#

it’s not a good deal

little osprey
#

not a great deal but close to a 1660s MSRP

ruby schooner
#

I wish cards were in stock so instead of my friend buying a 1650 prebuilt he could have a 1660 instead

upper cobalt
#

could you link the prebuilt?

ruby schooner
#

Yea hold up

#

Im not allowed to send the link

#

Its a ibuypower 10400f and 1650 from best buy

upper cobalt
#

how much

little osprey
#

how much?

ruby schooner
#

729

upper cobalt
#

i mean 🤷‍♂️

ruby schooner
#

He had to get a computer before christmas and that was the only thing he could get for under 800

upper cobalt
#

those specs for 730 don’t look very promising

ruby schooner
#

Yea i told him to just get money and wait but he didnt want to

little osprey
#

the better option would be building his own pc but eh...

ruby schooner
#

He didnt want to i would have built one for him but he said he didnt care about the graphics he just wanted something a little better than his rx560

#

Also you dont even get 16gb of ram you only get 8

little osprey
ruby schooner
#

He wouldnt even be able to download cyberpunk with the pc

#

At least with a 1660 you could run low settings

upper cobalt
#

cyberpunk is just not in a very good state right now

#

hell probably be able to play in a few months

ruby schooner
#

Yea im going to wait to buy it, i want to see ray tracing in that game

nimble sinew
#

Thoughts?

whole harbor
#

One sec

whole bluff
#

1060 questionable

nimble sinew
#

What would you have preferred?

whole harbor
#

this seems

#

Good

#

But im not great at high end pcs

#

Id personally choose did kbm

#

And stuff

#

But its preference

#

@nimble sinew

nimble sinew
#

It's a fun KBM.

#

little loud, but I like the feel!

#

😄

whole bluff
whole harbor
#

Thats really good

#

@nimble sinew are they linear

#

If they are

#

Then id prob keep

#

Linear

#

Are godlike

nimble sinew
#

They're blue tactiles

whole bluff
#

shipping may vary; had a psu that came months earlier

whole harbor
#

@nimble sinew ahh

nimble sinew
#

brown switches don't exist.

whole harbor
#

Blues feel nice

#

but are LOUD

nimble sinew
#

Yeah.

whole harbor
#

i have browns

#

gateron

nimble sinew
#

I have a mic set up though that makes it to where they can't be heard 😄

#

I had red linears before this board.

whole harbor
#

for $80

#

U could have gotten a gk61

#

I think

#

Yellow switches

nimble sinew
#

I picked up this board used open box for $80

#

That's why I went blue.

#

I was like, "WTH, I'll try it."

#

It's nice for games like SC2.

#

Where clicking keys is important.

#

And it helps me keep a rhythm.

whole harbor
#

Im geniunly so sad

#

I got a b450

#

Legit 3100 has no stock

#

I could have gotten a b365

#

And 9600k for

#

$150

whole bluff
#

whenever they're in stock, at least you'll have a platform with better upgrade paths

ripe wedge
#

10400 would be better vs 9600k

nimble sinew
#

hmmm

little osprey
whole harbor
#

1 sec

ripe wedge
#

its good

little leaf
#

I mean I don't really need a 4th gen ssd

#

or x570

#

also for 20 dollars more you can get better ram

whole harbor
#

5800x

#

Rlly cost that much?

nimble sinew
#

It's the amazon in stock price.

whole harbor
#

@little osprey if ur mainly gaming

#

Just get 5600x

dapper jasper
#

5800x price:core is bad

#

unless you doin some wild editing shi

#

productivity work

little osprey
#

Planning on just using it to game tbh maybe tap into music production down the line but that’s later on

nimble sinew
#

if you're going 5800x I would recommend an intel build.

little osprey
whole harbor
#

cl16

nimble sinew
#

cl16 is speed

whole harbor
#

VRROOOOM

little osprey
#

Thx guys I’ll probably stick with the 5600x then and the cl16 ram

nimble sinew
whole harbor
#

850w

#

Psu

#

Is what id di

#

With a 3080

#

so new topic

#

Hows this goat built

#

Build

#

$650

#

Its godlike for price

whole bluff
#

not bad

nimble sinew
#

interesting

#

I would just go 2600

whole harbor
#

Why?

#

same performance

#

2600 is just for editing

nimble sinew
#

but

#

2 more cores

whole harbor
#

Which i dont do

#

@nimble sinew ik

#

But

#

I only play games and do work

#

and mini edits that take like 5mins

#

its not all cores man

nimble sinew
#

alright

dapper jasper
#

2600 is 6/12 but it’s performance is very much like a 3100

nimble sinew
#

but it is so much more versatile.

whole bluff
#

you playin' cp2077? the 3100 may have weird dips vs 2600

nimble sinew
#

it will have weird dips for a lot things

dapper jasper
#

eh true

nimble sinew
#

especially if multitasking.

#

like google + discord + gaming

#

background processes favor more cores more often than not.

dapper jasper
#

it has spiked up in price either way

nimble sinew
#

ebay

dapper jasper
#

used?

nimble sinew
#

it is my secret weapon.

#

you could buy used too.

#

but i don't normally recommend it.

#

hmmm

#

honestly.

dapper jasper
#

it’s like $200 and some are used

nimble sinew
#

3100 would not be too bad for a server build.

dapper jasper
#

and others are bids

whole bluff
#

yeah, i remember being able to get a 3600 new for 160 a few mo. ago

nimble sinew
#

market is scuffed

dapper jasper
#

cheapest without bid is $130

nimble sinew
#

I picked up a 3800xt for 350

whole bluff
#

cool, picked a 3600 and the legendary 85$ 1600af

nimble sinew
#

honestly

#

3300x is solid too

dapper jasper
#

i3 10100 is good too

nimble sinew
#

yeah

dapper jasper
#

they have 2600s without cooler for $116

#

on AliExpress

whole bluff
#

idk ali express is a lil iffy to me

nimble sinew
#

booyah

whole bluff
#

not bad, i personally love the nzxt cases; i wish there is a mesh version for the 500

#

you may want a 650watt in case you want to upgrade, but i'm guessing a 3050/60 won't need that much

dapper jasper
#

i3 10100 caps at 2666 with tat mobo, no need for 3200. H500 is a hotbox compared to a H510, psu is bad, cheaper mobo does the same job

nimble sinew
#

tru

#

I was too lazy to change the ram

#

😄

#

Also, h500 is cheaper

#

also

#

what do you MEAN cheaper mobo

#

that's like the cheapest b460

dapper jasper
#

h410

nimble sinew
#

you only save like 8 bucks

#

wait

#

you're right

#

BUDGET

#

oh gosh

#

cheaper memory saves $5

dapper jasper
#

a better psu and cheaper saves 10

nimble sinew
#

ladies and gentlemen

#

we got em

dapper jasper
#

mm that cyberbron doesn’t seem to safe

nimble sinew
#

listen

#

safety went out the window $2.43 ago

dapper jasper
nimble sinew
#

Here we go

#

that psu was a mail in rebate psu

#

this one is not!

#

we don't do mail!

dapper jasper
#

nossir

#

psu is the bomb

#

liters

nimble sinew
#

literally and figuratively

#

If we're not dealing with a firehazard every day, why are we even here?

dapper jasper
#

mm true what we fighting for

#

if it’s isn’t for these psus

whole bluff
#

i know there's gotta be be cl16 3200 mem for like 55

nimble sinew
#

new change

#

it saves $2 for better RAM

#

XD

#

the nvme doesn't hurt me too bad

#

it's the cheapest 500g nvme

dapper jasper
#

idk maybe like a dramless slc sata might do the job

tight sorrel
dapper jasper
#

like the ace 550

nimble sinew
#

true

#

hey

#

10400?

#

do a 6 core isntead of 4?

dapper jasper
#

no

nimble sinew
#

10400f

#

you right

#

WE MUST SAVE

dapper jasper
#

yeah next step is going with the pentium

nimble sinew
#

I lost myself there my brother

#

for $1 savings we could go 2.5"

#

PNY or mushkin?

#

but wait

dapper jasper
#

uh

nimble sinew
#

THREE INTERNAL 2.5" bays!

#

unless

#

interesting though

#

128g boot

#

with a 1tb hdd

dapper jasper
#

nah 512 gb is cheaper

#

SSD

#

or 500gb HDD with 128 boot

#

lol

nimble sinew
#

ooh

tight sorrel
nimble sinew
#

i say we stick to the 1 drive method

dapper jasper
#

meh I mean I used a 128gb for an optiplex build for 2 and a half years and no performance issues

tight sorrel
#

I stand corrected

nimble sinew
#

This is it.

#

I did notice we forgot something important.

#

Which was cooling.

#

oops. added 1 too many.

#

there we go.

#

only 2 added fans.

dapper jasper
#

the rosewill ranger m has 2 fans

nimble sinew
#

only 1 from what I read.

#

oh

dapper jasper
#

looks pulled straight from the 2000s

nimble sinew
#

the ranger

#

but this is the cheapest 0 external bays case.

dapper jasper
#

pft ok

nimble sinew
#

😄

#

Alright.

dapper jasper
#

would also change the SSD to the tcsunbow X3 noted from newmaxx as a consumer drive

#

man

nimble sinew
#

but on a real note

#

as an actual alternative.

dapper jasper
#

that psu also the bomb

#

iirc it had no ocp ovp and uvp

#

man my current build cheaper than that

nimble sinew
#

oh wowzers

#

I adjusted the psu

dapper jasper
#

yeah that looks fine

nimble sinew
#

alright

#

time to hit the customer with his order

dapper jasper
#

drug dealer hrnnng

nimble sinew
#

haha!

#

Alright, I'm gonna head to bed.

#

Got a final tomorrow morning.

dapper jasper
#

damn ok good luck

#

gn

#

@stoic island

dapper jasper
little osprey

not comparable

dapper jasper
#

it’s like barely anymore expensive

#

smhhhh

#

you gettin 2 Xeons instead of one

little osprey
#

in raw gaming performance

dapper jasper
little osprey
#

how about no

#

the panasonic monitors suck

dapper jasper
#

side monitors cmon

#

dude’s got no respect

#

smh

little osprey
#

ok

dapper jasper
#

th you tryna make a monitor globe??

little osprey
#

no

dapper jasper
#

monitor circle?

little osprey
#

each two will be stacked

#

for a racing sim

dapper jasper
#

lol that’s gonna look elongated af

little osprey
#

with hydrolicks

#

like this

dapper jasper
#

half monitor circle

#

lol

little osprey
#

with asseto corsa

#

if it is possible id get 8 3090s

#

but that is nowhere near possible

junior crescent

Intel Core i3-10100F or Intel Core i5-10400F for gaming and streaming???

final pawn
#

I built mine at my friends apartment. That’s why everything’s messy.

little osprey
#

@junior crescent

little osprey
#

Does ryzen 5 5600x have integrated graphichs?

tight sorrel
#

no

little osprey
#

So that means i must have a gpu for the pc to work right?

Whats a cheap gpu that i can pair with ryzen 5 5600x for a short time untill i get 3060ti?

tight sorrel
#

try get a second hand anything

#

that seems to be the general advice these days

little osprey
#

Are there any gpus that cost like 30$ used?

#

Yeah but i will replaice it with a 3060ti in a few months when i can get it

#

Would gt710 work for a few months?

tight sorrel
#

only if you dont care about gaming

my friend came and just spammed bad words

little osprey
#

I keep being told not to use this

tight sorrel
#

I think people have an issue with the price more than anything.

little osprey
#

So it's a good video card?

tight sorrel
#

its decent. about the same as a GTX1060

little osprey
#

guys is 3600 + rtx 3060 ti a good futureproof combo?

you wont be playing Cyberpunk at 4k with RT on, but you should be able to do most games at 1080p with medium settings with a rx570

little osprey
#

he has all the knowledge

little osprey
#

also what can i overclock a 3600 to?

#

max clock i mean

#

change the cpu

#

go for a 1600af

#

better performance

#

cheaper price

#

and keep the rest

Reason: Bad word usage

frosty ore
#

woops

#

changed it

#

still get mixed reviews whether to go for i5 10400 or ryzen 5 3600

sly tapir
#

how much are you paying for that psu?

frosty ore
#

its 50€ on amazon

sly tapir
#

have you read some reviews of that psu? i have not heard of that brand before and the price seems quite low

frosty ore
#

i went mainly bycustomer reviews from larger retailers and they were mostly positive

#

but i did not read a thorough review on the psu wouldnt have guessed if its that important

sly tapir
#

its always best to be certain on psu's since alot of offbrand ones can be quite faulty and the last thing you want to happen is for it to damage your components but apart from that your planned settup seems pretty great

frosty ore
#

fair enough i guess i could spend a bit more to make sure its a popular psu then

sly tapir
#

one thing i could justify is getting a m.2 since most b550 motherboards usualy have one 4.0 lanes but you would have to research more into that and it would cost more for only minor changes*

frosty ore
#

m.2?

sly tapir
#

yes m.2 nvme's what usually offer a higher read/write speed what allows you to boot up windows faster or reduce loading times in games by a few seconds ( not that important )

frosty ore
#

ohhhh youre speaking of the ssd

#

xd

sly tapir
#

but dont think you are alone im looking for a new psu aswell

#

since my 6 year old psu decided to die on me

frosty ore
#

oof

#

that psu has a lot of good reviews

sly tapir
#

i have looked at your motherboard you gpu is under 4.0 but your nvme would sadly only be under 3.0 meaning it may be best to revert to the ssd

#

since with builds you try to stay near set budget*

frosty ore
#

hmm okay

sly tapir
#

that is a pretty solid gpu, personaly i have been looking at the corsair TX-m Series line-up but it is not the cheapest :l

little osprey
#

@frosty ore

quasi snow
#

Crucial ballistix 3600 cl16 is the same price as that corsair ram

little osprey
#

Ya and so much better

#

Or g.skill v series 3600 cl16

wanton cliff
#

just as long as it is 3600 cl16 it should be the same as any other brand

#

am I wrong?

little osprey
#

It could have bad die

#

I remember the first desktop I had was a cheap 500 dollar machine, and had a 3200g in it (or maybe a 2200g). I had about 512mb of video memory on 4gb of ram. Went and upgraded with the 16gb kit and it worked amazingly

#

((Its rather depressing to see how cheap ram is now. When I bought my corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 3200mhz kit it was 150. Now its like 75))

#

Kit??? There are kits?!

#

Wtf

#

Like a 16gb kit, has 2 sticks of ram

#

Oh

#

lol

#

What did you think I meant by kit

#

Like the kits for crafting & such lol

#

oh lol

#

So are you going for a budget pc?

#

Mhmm

#

What would you say your budget is

#

500

#

I remodeled the list a little. Goes a tad over budget, but not extremely

#

Took out the gpu, but made the cpu into a 3400g because of the apu

#

Oh shi- wair- that's better

#

Oh, and if you want to see some benchmarks, there are plenty of videos online showcasing games running on the 3400g

#

I used to game on a 2200g, and I was blown away at how well games like warframe ran. I could almost max it out!

#

Went with a SSD and HDD combo, as you use the HDD for files and game libraries, but use the SSD for your OS and a few programs. I learned the hard way that gaming on an SSD will kill it a lot faster than you can imagine.

wanton cliff

#

No, it doesn't

#

Been gaming on the same SSD for 5 years now

#

Still fine

whole harbor
#

U need reliable hardware

#

so i fixed the list

little osprey
wanton cliff
#

yeah maybe lmao

little osprey
#

I had been gaming on a SSD when my entire ssd just killed itself

#

like I lost my OS and everything cause of the issue

wanton cliff
#

I've been gaming on an Adata SSD for about a year now and its been working perfectly fine

#

HDDs are simply too slow for modern games

little osprey
#

I sadly have to run my current laptop on a HDD

#

thats like 5 years old or more

#

until I get the hardware to copy the files to my SSD

wanton cliff
little osprey
#

I can't install to my ssd though

Get something with SMART reading that can keep tabs on it

if its a samsung SSD then Sansung Magician works really well

See? It's fine

little osprey

Then how in tarnation

muted patio
#

I've had MB ports get picky. Swapping it to a new SATA port fixed the issue

little osprey
#

See, like I was doing multiplayer in a game, and the whole system froze up. I couldn't do anything, and so I went to power down

muted patio
#

Ye

little osprey
#

the last second before it shut of it bluescreened

#

I couldn't stop the shutdown

muted patio
#

Check the bluescreen in Event Viewer next time

little osprey
#

Ok

muted patio
#

so you know what caused it

little osprey
#

I can try and look back in the history of event viewer

muted patio
#

Look for ERRORS or Critical

#

Should be a STOP code and file name

little osprey
#

I think I found it

muted patio
#

Nope

#

That's the unscheduled reboot

#

It won't be a Kernel Power entry

#

It'll be just before that

little osprey
#

hmm

#

I am searching

#

Hmm

#

Would it maybe be "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort2."

muted patio
#

That would be it

Might be time to check for motherboard driver updates

Hey guys I have a question how good are the ddr5

cyan stone
#

Looks good. I would consider a different PSU though. That ones a bit expensive for what it offers

muted patio
#

Well, it's not commercially available yet so....no one knows

wicked frigate
#

@muted patio#533

#

Ok

#

When will they be available

muted patio
#

in other words, no consumer CPU's support it

wicked frigate
#

@little osprey get the rmx series

muted patio
#

When someone releases a CPU to support it

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

I need help choosing a mobo

#

Anyone help me

cyan stone
#

in other words, no consumer CPU's support it
@muted patio
The PSU?

wicked frigate
#

No

#

The ddr5

cyan stone
#

Ahh, alright lol

muted patio
#

AMD is slotted to use DDR5 in Zen 4 which is 2022

cyan stone
#

I was concerned there for a second lol

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Can a anyone help me schoose a mobo

muted patio
#

So, probably endof of 2021 or early 2022 for desktop DDR5 to be available

5600x with a 3080?

wicked frigate

Or ipgrade it

#

Yes

muted patio
#

Nah

#

get at least 5800x

wicked frigate
#

Why

#

Ok

#

Is that good for gaming

#

And streaming

muted patio
#

Of course it is

little osprey
muted patio
#

I know

wicked frigate
#

That a cpu

muted patio
#

But pairing a 5600x CPU with a 3080 is....meh

little osprey
#

It’s better that 10900k

wicked frigate
#

Ok so should I pair it with 5800x

muted patio
#

Yes, if you're going to stream and game

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

And what mobo

that one

wicked frigate

wicked frigate
#

What’s the ironwolf

muted patio
#

For just gaming, it's not

wicked frigate
#

Sea gate b

muted patio
#

For gaming and streaming, get the extra cores

#

For OBS, Discord and all the other stuff you'll be running

#

Also, probably streaming at 1080p

wicked frigate
#

Hey guys what’s the sea gate barracuda iron wolf

muted patio
#

Which is more CPU bound than GPU. Even 1440p hits a CPU hard

wicked frigate
#

Should I get it

#

What

obsidian wigeon
#

Oh, streaming, I still think it's enough imo

muted patio
#

Sigh

wicked frigate
#

@muted patio help

obsidian wigeon
#

I mean, there's nvenc

#

So, idk

muted patio
#

that's only for encoding. Not Discord, OBS, Overlays and all the other stuff. Webcam

#

etc

obsidian wigeon
#

I'll just agree with it lol

muted patio
#

I don't know about that hard drive

#

So, not gonna comment

little osprey
#

asus

#

msi stuff suck

little osprey
#

kk

#

Is this good?

#

for the price and age

#

hell nah

#

the igpu is also pretty weak
best used for light games & office

#

or to get some overclock experience as thisa and 3000g do overclock pretty well

obsidian wigeon
#

heck 3200g can be cheaper than that

little osprey
#

yep

next kestrel
#

the fact that that chip is on the same platform as the 5000 series ryzen processors

#

AM4 is amazing

little osprey
#

?

#

ah
though that does come at a cost tho

#

like bios

next kestrel
#

intel could've supported 8th gen processors on 7th gen mobos

#

but they just chose not to

little osprey
#

yeah, intel socket support really sucks.

#

compared to AMD

wanton cliff
#

AM4 for 4 years baybee

#

if my math is right*

median horizon
wanton cliff
#

even better

median horizon
#

They announced in 2016, and it seems like 4 but you have to consider the CPU’s and refreshes of 2016,2017,2018,2019,2020

So 5 years total

wanton cliff
#

and even the 2016 CPUs are mostly useable

can somone please make me a $850 pc for gaming

wanton cliff
#

just gaming?

quasi girder
#

Hey which motherboards are better the x570s or the b550s?

median horizon
#

X570

next kestrel
#

you can look up pros/cons

#

its a simple google search

median horizon
#

Problem is the X570 isn’t fully available to be taken advantage of yet.

cursive haven
median horizon
#

So unless if you’re setting up a NAS, or doing productivity, X570 doesn’t have much appeal aside from the flexing perspective

#

B550 works MORE then enough, and some higher end B550 (ie. Aorus Master) have similar features to X570

wanton cliff
#

B450 works too

quasi girder
#

@median horizon so is the msi b550 good?

median horizon
#

Which one-

quasi girder
#

Exactly

wanton cliff
dapper jasper
#

2600 for $180...

wanton cliff
#

ik...

quasi girder
#

@median horizon I don’t know the difference between the 3 lol

wanton cliff
#

how times have changed

dapper jasper
#

you’re better off with a 10400 for $150

muted patio
#

X570 has plenty of appeal. Think 3-5 years into the future cuz people keep mobos at least that long

wanton cliff
dapper jasper
#

cheapest

median horizon
muted patio
#

What, 2022?

wanton cliff
median horizon
#

Fair enough.

dapper jasper
#

no need for much features unless you are going to be using them all

muted patio
#

People buying now probably won't be upgrading to AM5 when that happens

dapper jasper
#

there’s a stock cooler

wanton cliff
#

yeah but it sucks

dapper jasper
#

stock cooler is enough for the moment

wanton cliff
#

fine

little osprey
dapper jasper
#

10400 is locked

little osprey
#

so i would say b460 is best mobo for
intel build(non k)

median horizon
#

But why spend a load of money if your hardwares already (probably) going to be trouched in a mere 2 years

dapper jasper
#

isn’t x570 for amd?

little osprey
wanton cliff
#

there

#

only 2.9ghz tho

#

good thing intel boosts good

dapper jasper
#

there’s no z570

wanton cliff
#

Z590?

dapper jasper
#

nope

cursive haven
#

just z390 and 490

median horizon
#

That’s coming 12th Gen iirc

little osprey
#

quasi girder
#

@median horizon so I’m gonna be using a Ethernet cable so there is no need for the WiFi motherboard correct?

dapper jasper
#

yessir

wanton cliff
#

better off getting a wifi card anyways

little osprey
#

i awlays forget the about what is the high end mobos for intel

median horizon
#

Like the Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme frustrates me so much

wanton cliff
#

Aorus makes crap intel mobos

median horizon
#

Why even have a wifi ability if your motherboard supports 10Gb Ethernet

wanton cliff
#

not that anyone even has 10gb-

quasi girder
#

So anything higher then b450 has argb compatibility?

median horizon
#

You’d have to be a braindead buffoon to not take 10gig Ethernet over wifi

who's list is that up there

wanton cliff

#

wanton cliff
#

its not a bad SSD?

vital warren
#

it's sata

wanton cliff
#

doesnt mean it is horrible just because it isnt NVMe

quasi girder
#

@median horizon so anything higher then b450 has argb compatibility?

median horizon
#

While I personally don’t like the Intel 660p, I’m happy it forced nvme prices to go down

vital warren
#

and i'm pretty sure it's dramless

median horizon
#

Depends

#

Most manufacturers tell you what the mobo has

#

Like how many usb headers, fan headers, sata ports etc

dapper jasper
#

that SSD is a dramless tlc msata

median horizon
#

Oh hell no

#

Don’t touch that

muted patio
#

That particular SSD is horrible

median horizon
#

That is awful

#

Firstly, Dramless. There are few that are even decent

dapper jasper
#

better off with a cheap yet high end SSD for boot

median horizon
#

But then sata m.2

#

Just spend the extra buck and get a nvme

quasi girder
#

@median horizon so what motherboard would you recommend I get cause some of the things that are in my case and my cooler need the argb pins to plug into it?

dapper jasper
#

tlc isn’t great for sata either

spiral falcon
#

Hello

median horizon
spiral falcon
dapper jasper
#

sn550 500gb is 1 buck more

zinc ermine
#

sn550 is like half decent

quasi girder
#

@median horizon do you mind if I pm you?

zinc ermine
#

but its speed throttles once the cache gets overloaded

median horizon
#

Go ahead

zinc ermine
#

literally goes to hdd speeds

median horizon
#

Isn’t that QLC then?

#

Bro I almost made the mistake of buying a QLC NVME

vital warren
#

just spend the few bucks for something like an mp34

zinc ermine
#

a80 is a good choice also

dapper jasper
#

it would make sense for it to slow down, though the tlc cache will make it last a little longer

#

rather than say, a p1 or 665/660
