This is where the system speaker plugs in to give out error codes with beeps

#

Those 4 pins

astral yacht
#

i don't think i have speaker ones tho

glossy bay
#

Either your mobo or case should have come with a tiny silver cylinder with a 4 pin connector

astral yacht
#

umm what's ur for

#

it*

glossy bay
#

It gives out beeps for error codes

#

That's basically all it does

astral yacht
#

i didn't get that

glossy bay
#

The speaker would not come with a psu

#

Your board also has LEDs for errors

astral yacht
#

i meant it says atx psus only

glossy bay
#

To tell you which part is wrong

astral yacht
#

oh

#

didn't know that

#

but i remember it does light up

#

all 4 of them i believe

glossy bay
#

The last thing is if your bios isn't a version that supports your cpu, you'll have to follow the flashback instructions in your mobo. Basically you take a 32gb or lass flash drive, reformat it to fat32, download the new bios, unzip and rename it, and out it in a very specific usb port on your rear up, then use the flashback button. Your manual will go over the exact steps for flashback

astral yacht
#

how do i reformat it to

#

fat32

glossy bay
#

Google it. I'm not being rude on this there's good guides

#

It's pretty easy and it's a thing windows can naturally do

astral yacht
#

alr ty

glossy bay
#

You just like open up drive management, select the drive and click format and select fat32

#

But follow a guide

#

I don't remember exact names or clicks

astral yacht
#

alr

#

all good

#

so i just gotta use 2 cables for the gpu

#

redo front panel

#

and do flashback

glossy bay
#

And look into those lights

astral yacht
#

alr

glossy bay
#

Good luck

astral yacht
#

ty

#

@glossy bay one last thing what do i rename it to

glossy bay
#

Whatever it says to

astral yacht
#

would it be on the manual?

glossy bay
#

When you grab the bios from online and unzip it, in that folder is a bios file and a renamer program

#

Run the renamer program, then put only the renamed bios file on the drive

#

The link above explains though it takes a few paragraphs to get to the point

little osprey
#

is the NZXT Kraken Z63 a good liquid cooler?

hollow grail
#

good cooler yes

#

good cooler for the price no

little osprey
#

im a sucker for gpu and cpu temps in the case

rough loom
#

@plush perch Yes

#

your radiator fans were intaking from the top

blissful pewter
#

Hey guys and gals, I need assistance finding a reasonable cooler for an Asus Gtx 1080 ti Turbo. I know the accelero series could work on it but is there any other coolers that would work for a reasonable price? Ping if you have something please and thanks!

Hey guys I’ve got a question and probably a dumb one
I’m building my first pc soon and I’m picking out the parts
I can I go with a pc that looks sick and has a ryzen 7 5800x and 3080
Or one that doesn’t looks as good but has a ryzen 9 5900x
I know I shouldn’t pick something because it looks good but I just don’t feel like I will ever really use the full potential of the ryzen 9 5900x as I’ll only use for gaming and light bit of photo editing

little osprey
urban light
#

U need some storage

little osprey
#

What storage should I get @urban light

urban light
#

I’m not the best with this stuff I don’t really know sos

little osprey
#

Ok

severe bloom
#

@plush perch they are pulling through the radiator how you have them, that configuration also works but I assume you wanted the fans the other way.

dense jasper
#

you could get a wd blue nvme 500gb paired with a 1tb wd caviar blue 1 tb

hollow grail
hollow grail
dense jasper
#

how

hollow grail
#

mp34 is a better drive

#

and 1tb hdd is a joke

#

2tb is like $10 more

#

only ppl who still use 1tb are system integrators

dense jasper
#

ok

hollow grail
#

i appreciate the wd love though, theyre 100% the best drive makers out there

indigo kindle
#

It sounds like someone with “storage queen” would know a lot about storage, so id trust @hollow grail for this one LOL

hollow grail
#

@indigo kindle yeah lol i have around 200tb local storage keeeek

urban light
#

Well like different parts

hollow grail
#

can you send the pcpp lists for both builds youre considering?

indigo kindle
#

200 TB????

hollow grail
#

ill take a look :))

urban light
#

Ok one sec

indigo kindle
#

Wtffff thats crazy

hollow grail
#

thats just drives i have

#

i have 0.5pb in cloud

indigo kindle
#

Thats insane

hollow grail
#

:))))

#

and @dense jasper imo the best value rn is a 4tb blue for $75

dense jasper
#

wow

indigo kindle
#

@hollow grail what are your thoughts on crucial p1 1tb nvme

hollow grail
#

its average

small osprey
#

Not very good

#

Get a team mp34 if u want nvme

hollow grail
#

honestly

#

team is alright

#

but i know they get the most ass nand they can get away with

languid nimbus
#

sn750 good too

small osprey
#

Bit more expensive tho

hollow grail
#

if you have more $ id get a sn750 or a 970

small osprey
#

Samsung is overpriced

hollow grail
#

ive seen it with companies before where they just weigh thr cost

indigo kindle
#

So i have a crucial p1 1tb tight now, and its filling up quick so i was deciding whether to get another of those, or more likely an sn750

hollow grail
indigo kindle
#

Too slow

small osprey
#

U dont need ssd storage for everything on ur pc

indigo kindle
#

I had an hdd, and when i was playing Tarkov it would load so slow

#

Yeah but id use it mainly for gaming

small osprey
#

Just keep all ur games on the ssd and ur os

#

Then stick everything else in the hdd

indigo kindle
#

I have that now

#

And its still filling quick lol

languid nimbus
#

Games take up so much storage lol

hollow grail
#

keep games you play constantly on ssd

small osprey
#

Yea

hollow grail
#

steam is great at moving stuff around

indigo kindle
#

I have a 2tb hdd but idek what to put on it other than nongames

small osprey
#

If ur not gonna play cod for a while take it out so u save 500gb of space

hollow grail
#

anyways my answer is the p1 is okay

#

if you want an mp34 get one

indigo kindle
#

Haha ive been playing warzone a ton, and activision FINALLY added a feature where i can uninstall campaign and co-op and stuff

#

So that helps

languid nimbus
hollow grail
#

but imo id rather get a 970 or a sabrent rocket or a mp600/mp510

languid nimbus
#

It’s even on sale

hollow grail
#

@languid nimbus i actually have 8tb of nvme lol

languid nimbus
#

No joke?

indigo kindle
#

Wait what about an mx500

languid nimbus
#

Geez

hollow grail
#

retired it a few days ago

#

4x seagate enterprise drives

#

in raid 0

#

did like 25gb/s

languid nimbus
#

ooof

#

jesus

hollow grail
#

was fantastic for unrar and cache

#

honestly didnt need them though

#

sold them for $100 profit per drive

#

after i burned thru 75% of the rated tbw

#

stonks

languid nimbus
#

That’s actually insane

indigo kindle
#

So, sorry for this noob question, but what increases download speeds? Storage or wifi or both? @hollow grail

hollow grail
#

@indigo kindle depends, you talking abt over the internet or

#

on lan

#

moving files between computers on the same local networks

indigo kindle
#

Iver the internet downloading games

hollow grail
#

god tier pfp keeeek

languid nimbus
#

#

@coarse coral pleas

gleaming quartz

languid nimbus
#

they’ll get it eventually lol

hollow grail
#

lmao there we go

languid nimbus
#

lmao

#

that was rough

hollow grail
#

i need a ssd to manage one of my boxes

#

cause the internet connection is too fast for hdd to handle

#

downloading games itll be ur network over anything yeah

indigo kindle

Don't get the TEAM SSD

AH, my bad. The 32/33 is DRAM less

hollow grail
#

all good vintage

muted patio
#

That ram though

hollow grail
#

was abt to punt u tho keeeek

muted patio
#

Spend a couple more bucks and get CL16

dense jasper
#

which ram should i get

#

ok

quasi snow
muted patio
quasi snow
#

spend the same amount and get cl16

dense jasper
#

ok

#

any mobo cpu and gpu recomendaitons

muted patio
#

Just an FYI, that Crucial ram is out of stock

dense jasper
muted patio
#

SO we've got $500 for a mobo, CPU and RAM?

dense jasper
#

no its fine i can go over budget

muted patio
#

That PSU is overkill for this budget. Only needed for 3080/3090 TBH

#

650W is fine

dense jasper
#

ok

muted patio
#

$10 is $10

dense jasper
#

so this is agood one

muted patio
#

THis one will save you $20

#

Either of those ye

severe axle
#

@plush perch yes, flip them

dense jasper
#

any gpu mobo and cpu recomend

muted patio
#

WOrking on it

dense jasper
#

ok sorry

#

ty

muted patio
#

Problem is $500 isn't a lot to work with for CPU/MOBO/GPU

dense jasper
#

no im bumping up the budget to 1300

muted patio
#

Hmmmm, Ok

#

That helps a lot, GPU is expensive right now

dense jasper
#

if you can get it lower great but if you cant that is all ok

#

yes i undertsand

stoic island
#

1300 total or

dense jasper
#

1300 or lower that is my budget

stoic island
#

Budget for everything or budget for the cpu+mobo+gpu that was asked for at the start..?

muted patio
#

It was 1K

#

But 1300 now

dense jasper
#

1300 for everything

stoic island
#

Fun

dense jasper
#

yes

stoic island
#

Any chance you can get your hands on a 5600x?

muted patio
#

Well, this is a heckuva build

#

Change out the NVME drive tho

dense jasper
#

damn

muted patio
#

Ye

stoic island
#

G1+ should be pretty good

muted patio
#

CPU price isn't in there

#

But still

dense jasper
#

yes

muted patio
#

Could tweak that down a bit

dense jasper
#

ye exactly

stoic island
muted patio
#

Ballistx ram is out of stock

#

Just an FYI

stoic island
#

Yea back order

muted patio
#

G Skill is in stock but $7 more

#

Otherwise full send if you can get the 5600x/3070

stoic island
#

I need to check when I'm not on mobile again for the non-listed retailers

muted patio
#

Although 600W is under the recommended for 3070

dense jasper
#

yes

stoic island
#

It's definitely usable, and it should be under budget, so I said the PSU could get an upgrade

muted patio
#

Ye

dense jasper
#

y

#

es

muted patio
#

That's pretty solid

#

Either one

dense jasper
#

whats the msrp of 5600

muted patio
#

$300

true maple
#

Which bugget Motherboard should i get for overclocking the cpu

muted patio
#

what cpu

true maple
#

oh I forgot to mention is I7-10700k

muted patio
#

Z490 chipset

stoic island
#

Budget motherboard eh..?

#

the z490 gaming x is usually decent for the cost

muted patio

ijat Thank you

#

Yo

#

For some reason

#

My pc on startup just goes into power saving

bitter wadi
#

can someone lmk if this is good?

zealous edge
#

It goes into bios fine

severe axle
#

the case is not good

bitter wadi
#

why is everyone against this case 😂

severe axle
#

the airflow sucks

bitter wadi
#

it is cheap

severe axle
#

it sucks

tall iris
#

if you are abstaining from a gpu i would recommend getting a vega cpu from amd

bitter wadi
#

i plan to get a GPU late jan to try and get one at launch

blazing aurora
#

is overclocking important to consider when buying parts

glossy bay
#

Only if you plan on doing it

bitter wadi
severe axle
#

no

#

the case is bad

#

get a mb311l

glossy bay
#

The reviews of the case in list seem to be if you're putting low tier parts in it it's cheap and looks good, but it's a little flimsy and with modern parts it's way too hot because bad airflow

muted patio
#

Vega GPU, no, just wait

zealous edge
#

Vintage

#

My pc keeps going into power saving mode when it starts up

#

@foggy hazel

#

Is it because something isn't plugged in properly

muted patio
#

What do you mean power saving mode?

#

On the monitor?

zealous edge
#

Because my gpu light isn't on

#

Yea on the monitor

#

It goes into bios fine

muted patio
#

That means no Video Signal to the monitor

#

It's not your PC

zealous edge
#

Ik

#

The gpu lights isn't on tho

muted patio
#

I mean, that doesn't mean your PC is in power saving mode

zealous edge
#

Light

#

The gpu i think..

#

Last time this happened

#

Naed said something isn't plugged in

#

See

muted patio
#

You have both power cables

zealous edge
#

Not plugged into the pcie properly?

#

Yea both

#

2 plugs

#

From 2 separately plugged cables into the psu

muted patio
#

Ye

#

Try a different HDMI or Displayport out on the Card?

zealous edge
#

Should I try and boot from the mobo?

#

Ok

muted patio
#

Might be a bad port

zealous edge
#

Ok

#

There we go

#

It works now

#

Port was bad

muted patio
#

👍

zealous edge

zealous edge
#

Does that mean my memory is running at 3600?

muted patio
#

ye

zealous edge
#

Okok

#

From task manager

#

I did it from bios

#

How do I get from the home screen into the bios btw

#

Shift + restart?

upper cobalt
#

yeah

muted patio
#

Just restart

#

No shift

#

Shift is for Safe Mode

#

Reboot and probably DEL or F2 key

hollow grail
#

just fyi

zealous edge
#

Ok

hollow grail
#

but yeah just do a normal reboot

muted patio
#

shift + restart = WIndows 10 advanced startup options also

hollow grail
#

yep

#

which lets u choose to go into bios keeeek

muted patio
#

If you have UEFI blah blah blah

hollow grail
#

gotem

muted patio
#

That takes the fun out of mashing the DEL key though

hollow grail
#

true

muted patio
#

And not everyone will have that option

hollow grail
#

just del?

muted patio
#

mebbe F2

#

Depending bios

hollow grail
#

you dont mash the entire top half of the keyboard?

#

weak

muted patio
#

I read manuals

#

🤷

hollow grail
#

lmao

#

my servers all do f2 for setup and f12 for boot menu

#

the standard

muted patio
#

Ye, mine is DEL key

hollow grail
#

urs is wrong

muted patio
#

Mine is proper. Never had an F2 BIS board

@charred compass what about the nr600?

muted patio

Front mesh much better

its called paying scalpers omegalul

#

Does an i5-10600k bottleneck a 3070?

muted patio
#

Bottleneck is a bad word. It will work fine but you could gain some performance with a faster/better CPU

#

It will honestly be just fine

little osprey
#

Good for first build ?

Otherwise....

You can save a bit on the SSD

#

Sabrent Rocket

#

or a Team 34

viral ore
#

yeah, 1tb of ssd is usually overkill, so overpaying for a TB of it doesnt make a whole lot of sense

#

500gb is the sweet spot, anything more and you need a really good reason for it

(notes - I might get a windows key from my dads old laptop
or I'll just have the free one where there's a water mark,
also the case is for the pc I have now I'm switching parts,
and the memory and gpu are in a combo that's why I'm tryna get it.)

Yea

mossy plaza
#

zealous edge
#

You can get an oem key

#

For $15 usd

mossy plaza

Windows 10 pro

#

The CPU isn't limited

#

The motherboard may be

#

Or your RAM might not be rated for higher

mossy plaza
#

my dads old laptop he never uses has a windows key in it so I can just extract the code and put it in my new pc for free tho

zealous edge
#

Vintage any idea on my pc won't show any fans on speedfan??

muted patio
#

Yeah, speedfan is out of date

#

Doesn't show my X570 either

zealous edge
#

Ah

#

Welp

#

Rip

muted patio
#

Yep

zealous edge
#

Any other fan programs

obtuse compass
#

Ohh okay, its just that its set at default rn so I might have to turn xmp, but don’t know if it will reach the 3600mhz

#

I know the mobo supports it though

zealous edge
#

No

muted patio
#

If your ram is rated at 3600 MHZ and so is your motherboard, XMP is the answer

zealous edge
#

U will

#

Turn xmp on

#

And the speed will go up to the advertised

#

Speed

obtuse compass
#

Perfect

#

I was really just unaware if I should be paying attention to any thermal changes to the cpu

#

If I raise the speed

zealous edge
#

No

#

Ur cpu won't go up in temps

#

It would be ur ram

#

First of all

#

And its safe to turn on XMP

muted patio
#

No

#

Everything will be fine

zealous edge
#

Yea

muted patio
#

Just turn on XMP and enjoy the boost

zealous edge
#

Yeapp

mossy plaza
#

any suggestions?

zealous edge
#

Well

muted patio
#

Nope

zealous edge
#

Get an ssd

mossy plaza
#

hmmm why?

zealous edge
#

2tb for boot and programs

#

Once it gets full

#

Its gonna be sluggish

#

Trust mr

#

Me

#

I've had experience

#

It will be fine for now

mossy plaza
#

hmm ok should I just get a ssd for the external storage then?

zealous edge
#

But later down the road once you really start filling up that drive you will notice that ur programs and windows will load up significantly slower

#

Just get a 240 gb drive

mossy plaza
#

for the external storage?

zealous edge
#

U dont need external

muted patio
#

No No

#

Get an SSD for OS

#

Keep games on the platter

mossy plaza
#

oh just as additional storage?

muted patio
#

Maybe 1-2 games on the SSD

#

OS + 1-2 games on SSD

zealous edge
muted patio
#

Everything else on the seagate

zealous edge
#

There

#

Yea

#

Thats a good drive

muted patio
#

Eh

zealous edge
#

Decent

#

Drive

little leaf
#

Meh

mossy plaza
little leaf
#

You can get better for like 10 dollars

mossy plaza
#

little leaf
#

No dram

#

So no

zealous edge
#

Or get a wd green nvme

muted patio
#

No

little leaf
#

I belive the p1 is 50 usd

muted patio
#

No green anything

zealous edge
#

Oh kk

muted patio
#

At least a Blue

zealous edge
#

Mbmb

little leaf
#

The p1 is a decent option

#

If its still 50

zealous edge
#

Or Kingston..

#

Ssd

muted patio
#

No

#

P1 is QLC

#

bad endurance

zealous edge
#

I have Kingston 240g

mossy plaza
zealous edge
#

mossy plaza
#

little leaf
#

The a400 has no dram

mossy plaza

muted patio
#

-_-

zealous edge

#

But like still

little leaf
#

mossy plaza
little leaf
mossy plaza
#

this one?

muted patio
#

Samsung EVO

little leaf
#

This is 54 dollars

muted patio
#

SO is the Samsung

little leaf
#

The samsung is sata

muted patio
#

So?

zealous edge
#

This is the ssd I havr

muted patio
#

OS loading times and game loads are no faster on an NVME

zealous edge
muted patio
#

Plus, with a platter drive, that will be the speed restriction no matter what

zealous edge
#

I should have just said everything was fine :p

mossy plaza
#

so I should go with the samsung one?

muted patio
#

Get the Samsung Evo, it'll be fine

little leaf
#

I mean

zealous edge
#

Whats wrong with sata lmao

little leaf
#

Why not the nvme though

muted patio
#

Because

#

They're pairing it with a platter drive

#

It's a waste

zealous edge
#

Yeal

hollow grail
mossy plaza
#

so is this alright?

zealous edge
#

They do...

#

Il show ul

hollow grail
#

they do not

#

they make m.2 sata

zealous edge
#

Nvm

#

Mvm

#

Yea

#

M2 sata

#

Not nvmr

#

Got mixed up with another drive

hollow grail
#

i swear m.2 sata is just around to trick people lol

zealous edge
#

Fr lmaoo

hollow grail
#

@mossy plaza its ok but id grab a mp34 over that evo

#

personal preference though

muted patio
#

Oh

#

I've seen people pop a Sata M.2 into an NVME only slot

hollow grail
#

sata is fine but id like nvme for moderate futureproofing

mossy plaza
#

hmm alright

muted patio
#

GOt hot

zealous edge
#

LOL

muted patio
#

bad things happened

zealous edge
#

Yea

#

Obv

hollow grail
#

drive go pop

zealous edge
#

Vintage

#

U know of any other fan programs

muted patio
#

Pop is putting it nicely

zealous edge
#

Cuz speedfan is bs

muted patio
#

I don't, I use the ASUS software that came with my PC

mossy plaza
#

sadly its a bit more expensive and for some reason the 256 gb doesnt even have any sell options

zealous edge
#

Does gigabyte have a software?

#

Lmao

mossy plaza
#

but I'll go for it

zealous edge
#

I know I used a software for my 1050

#

In my old pc

#

Lol

mossy plaza
#

rip

muted patio
#

I mean

zealous edge
#

Becausr

#

I dont wanna go to bios

#

Everytime

hollow grail
zealous edge
#

Just to change fan speeds...

muted patio
#

I don't understand why you don't just get a Sata SSD. it's paired with a platter drive, speed won't matter anyway.

mossy plaza
#

hmm

#

5 bucks for 12 more gb xd

#

but alright

little osprey
#

Anyone have a £2000-£2500 gaming build because I’m looking to build one in about a month has a little rgb and is atx form factor

muted patio
#

I mean, this is a nice thing to brag about but it literally does me NO good

📎 sabrent.JPG
hollow grail
muted patio
#

not if you can't get the part

#

-_-

hollow grail
#

they just got the part

mossy plaza
hollow grail
#

lookin good

mossy plaza
#

I might actually not switch the parts at all xd

#

its a bit to much work for pretty much nothin

hollow grail
#

wdym

mossy plaza
#

if I were to switch the parts I have now into that case I'm buying right there and use the ATX case I have rn for the build I'm tryna make

zealous edge
#

Gl getting that gpu

#

Btw

mossy plaza
#

yupppp...

zealous edge
#

And that cpu

mossy plaza
#

I'm getting the gpu last though

zealous edge
#

Kk

mossy plaza
#

also I saw the cpu on sale around a week ago so it shouldnt be that long now till its on sale again

little leaf
#

@mossy plaza they go instock like every day

#

I already got one

mossy plaza
#

I'm tryna buy this for the cpu and ram

#

@little leaf bruh are you serious?

#

I've been looking at this one combo for a whole week now and I've only seen it go on sale once

little leaf
mossy plaza
#

hmm maybe its because the ram and cpu are out of stock at the same time

#

:/

little leaf
#

Another 3070

hollow grail
#

gigabyte lul

mossy plaza
#

lucky you....

little leaf
#

Its pretty easy

mossy plaza
#

I'm still not sure if I should buy the 5 5600x or the 7 3800x I'm just thinking about the ram though

#

since in the combo that ram is pretty beastly and so is the cpu

little leaf
#

5600x

#

And never get th 3800x

little osprey
little leaf
#

Such a waste

#

The 3800x is practically a 3700x but more ex

#

Expensive

mossy plaza
#

uhhhhh vr gaming, normal gaming, maybe recording videos and just normal work

little osprey
#

5600x

muted patio
#

It's a +200 mhz 3700x

#

blech

mossy plaza
#

hmm alright

little leaf
#

Im also pretty sure it has better multi core in some cases

#

But don’t quote me on that

#

Ive completely forgot the benches

mossy plaza
#

I'm guessing I shouldnt try and just go for the combo then

#

since if their both not in stock then I wont be able to get it

#

I guess I'll just buy em whenever one of em are in stock

#

bruhhhhh

#

this is such a terrible case for the ram xd

zealous edge
#

?

#

Lol what

#

Case?

#

Its a package

#

And ot doesn't matter

mossy plaza
#

well yea package

zealous edge
#

All ram comes like that type of packaging

mossy plaza
#

ik I'm just angry they didnt make it look a bit nicer

hollow grail
#

@zealous edge moron, ur supposed to keep the ram in the case when the pc is off

#

youve been doing it wrong all alone

little osprey
#

?

urban trellis
#

Lol

little osprey
#

Wait what?

zealous edge
#

You should see the g skill packaging lmao

little osprey
#

What did I just see?

mossy plaza
#

it looks doo doo

little osprey
hollow grail
#

@mossy plaza do you wanna pay $10 more for fancy packaging or do you want to open the box and throw it away

hollow grail
mossy plaza
#

hmmmmmmmmm

little osprey
#

Ahh

mossy plaza
#

a little bit of both actually xd

hollow grail
#

said u have to put the ram back in the box every time youre done using it

zealous edge
#

That's what I do :p

little osprey
#

Ahh

mossy plaza
#

is this good ram?

hollow grail
#

its alr

mossy plaza
#

or should I maybe try for somethin else

little osprey
#

It's ok

#

But corsair the best

mossy plaza
#

hm

little osprey
#

Also, that one is oos so....

hollow grail
#

corsair isnt even close to the best lol

#

they just have alright rgb

muted patio
#

Crucial is fine but it's out of stock

little osprey
#

What would you say the best is?

mossy plaza
#

I dont even like rgb that much xd

little osprey
#

G.Skill?

hollow grail
#

i think the NAND manufacturers will have the best ram generally

muted patio
#

I prefer G SKill myself

mossy plaza
#

it just hurts my eyes for some reason

hollow grail
#

i like gskill for gaming

muted patio
#

non-RGB

hollow grail
#

i use samsung/hynix ram for my servers

mossy plaza
#

welp lemme look for some good ol G skill ram then

little osprey
#

I saw someone pick up some ddr2 PNY ram the other day

hollow grail
#

micron is fine

little osprey
#

I believe it was ddr2

hollow grail
#

theyre one of the few ppl who actually make the nand

little osprey
#

It wasn't ddr4 that much ik

hollow grail
#

iirc

mossy plaza
#

oh

little osprey
#

Eww cl 18

muted patio
#

CL 16

little osprey
#

Cl18 looking a bit too high

mossy plaza
#

wha?

#

whats the difference

muted patio
#

Timings

little osprey
#

Not that it’ll be too much of a difference in actual real world use but if you are all about performance go cl16 or even 14

muted patio
#

With AMD, performance

little osprey
#

Cl16 is faster

mossy plaza
#

are larger timings worse?

muted patio
#

3600 C14 is stupid expensive

#

Just go 16

mossy plaza
#

hm ok

little osprey
#

Get 3200 16

muted patio
#

NO

little osprey
#

3200mhz cl16

muted patio
#

No

little osprey
#

3200 cl16 same as 3600 cl18

#

Y not?

muted patio
#

Because AMD

#

For Intel, fine

#

Not for AMD

little osprey
#

I'm running 3200 cl16 with AMD

muted patio
#

Ok but....not a 5600x

mossy plaza
#

what about dis

muted patio
#

anything Ryzen 2000 or more should be CL16

little osprey
#

Ahh true ...

muted patio
#

3600

mossy plaza
#

oh crap

muted patio
#

No

#

I posted a link

little osprey
#

I'm 5 3600 tho

#

You can tighten times on a 3600 cl18 to be about same latency of a 3200 cl16

muted patio
#

use it

mossy plaza
#

I thought it was 3600

#

alright

muted patio
#

Gross

mossy plaza
#

hmmmm

muted patio
#

FCLK on Ryzen CPU is 1800 mhz

#

RAM should match that

mossy plaza
#

cheaper then the one I wanted at first xd

muted patio
#

That's the speed the cores/chiplets communicate at

#

If you're lucky you can push 1900mhz

little osprey
#

Well I spent $240 on my ram, I'm not upgrading anytime soon

muted patio
#

O.o

#

for 3200 CL16 ram???

little osprey
#

64GB

muted patio
#

Um

#

Well

little osprey
#

Again, the real world difference won’t even be noticeable

mossy plaza
#

aw are there no other different colors for it? xd

little osprey
#

4x16gb 3200

hollow grail
#

smal

mossy plaza
#

yeesh

muted patio
#

You might think that but......it makes a difference

little osprey
#

Couple percent

mossy plaza
#

its kinda overkill tho

hollow grail
#

i got 4x16gb for $150

little osprey
#

I got corsair vengeance rgb pro

#

I do too

#

They do the job fine

#

The ONLY 16gb set in my area

hollow grail
#

i got gskill ram cause it isnt ass keeeek

little osprey
#

Every other ram card are 4gbs.

mossy plaza
#

oh I can actually buy the ram rn

#

I might buy it

#

but idk

muted patio
#

Yep

#

That's why I posted it lol

mossy plaza
#

xd

little osprey
#

Go with cl16 3600

muted patio
#

It's not backordered

little osprey
#

I like OLOy warhawks

#

They are sweet spot

mossy plaza
#

I have around 400 bucks saved rn so I'll see what little parts there are that I can get first

hollow grail
#

oloy is sketch asf

little osprey
#

Truth

#

But if they work, they work

#

And mine worked

muted patio
#

They work

little osprey
#

Amazingly

muted patio
#

Surprisingly enough

#

I wouldn't but not everyone is me

mossy plaza
#

but idk if I want to buy it rn with the cpu isn't even being sold rn

hollow grail
#

but they work

#

and they looks great

little osprey
#

Can’t talk for oloy... all I can say is they are not as popular as others

muted patio
#

Oloy is new, that's why

mossy plaza
#

since I kinda want to get the 3 yr electronics thing for everything xd

little osprey
#

@hollow grail my first psu was a 500w thermaltake smart psu

muted patio
#

My current PSU is a 5 year old Thermaltake XD

little osprey
#

Wang to talk sketchy?

muted patio
#

But that gets me in trouble

mossy plaza
#

hey not bad tho

hollow grail
#

lol

mossy plaza
#

Thermaltake is pretty nice from what I hear xd

muted patio
#

Eh

hollow grail
#

tt in general is ass

muted patio
#

quality has gone downhill

#

Old vs new is different

little osprey
#

Man is just bashing on people’s purchases

hollow grail
#

never in their entire existence have they ever made anything noteworthy

little osprey
little osprey
muted patio
#

Seasonic has gone downhill too

#

SOme of them are poop

little osprey
#

Asus is one of my favorite companies, msi as well

stoic island
#

tbh EVGA is going downhill it feels like

little osprey
#

My favorite company for monitors is LG

stoic island
#

nothing good since g2/p2/t2

mossy plaza
#

ah

#

thats not so good then..

little osprey
#

Nooe

#

*nope

#

In fact the psu I used has had a history of literally blowing up

hollow grail
#

be quiet still kicks ass

mossy plaza
#

also I'm gonna buy the cpu, ram, and seagate 2tb all together to get the 3 yr protection plan just in case
