so i just have to wait till the cpu is being sold
I mean it’d be nice to have a psu that can potentially blow ip
Up
Adds to the thrill

Lol
Now I'm running an Asus rog strix 850w 80+ gold fully modular
Hi
Power supply is missing a GPU slot on my EVGA B5 series
CPU + RAM + Storage :/
Are you 100% sure
Pcie cables
Unless I’m dyslexic yes
I once forgot to plug in my GPU and tried to turn on my computer so we can miss things
Saaame
Alr
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I’m going to see how this goes
I'm a happy boi now
Mobo cable and cpu cable and sata cable
Already did but I’ll be back in like an hour see how this goes
bq is the only brand where u can tell ppl to get something from them and not have it be a bomb
Lol
hopefully I have enough for shipping ;(
WHAT
THE 3 YEAR DOESN't COVER EVERYTHING????????????????
warranty 
B(
thats dumb...
I wonder if I should just buy all dis rn
I mean I could
hmmmmmm
crucial prolly has 3600 C16 for cheaper
1 hour how many cables you got
tip: google the product hes using
Vintage said that G. Skill is the best and he sent the link
I mean, if you wanna spend $200 on RGB we can go there lol
rip, ballistix is oos anyway
I have a 2 eight-pin GPU, but the power supply only has 1-eight pin-2 pin will that affect anything
Anyone have any idea what type of desk this is lol? I’ve been tryna find it somewhere
What’s the wattage
550
For what GPU?
3060ti
mmmm
Oof
That's a tad under rated
what cpu?
Estimated wattage is like 380
You should get atleast 650watt
Ryzen5 3600x
wait so should I find a different set of ram or nah?
the 550w B5 is enough for both those things
Yeah it is the estimated wattage is like 380
good job kenzie
These aren’t power hungry parts
550 B5 has a single PCIe power output, the cable has 2x 6+2 PCIe connectors on the other end
the 3060ti only needs one PCIe 8 pin
so you're good
Ok nice
thats pretty normally priced
there arent any other better, cheaper parts available
and they wont be going on sale any time soon
so yes?
Yes
Does anyone have the rosewill rgb prism case?
I need to know if it comes with 4 fans or not
it does
is there anything wrong with and gpus
No, just the AMD software
Typically not as polished as nVidia
But bang for the buck, they're good.
Can I flash my motherboards bios once I am done building the pc or should I do it before I put the cpu in the motherboard?
I can' stand Nexus
Too dry and bland
TBH I watch his videos while in bed to make me sleepy
same
sometimes watch welyn but not that much anymore i think he is to energetic
sometimes i watch*
steve brings some useful content but yeah, hard to watch his videos
@cerulean trellis umm this is not the chat to talk about rust
who is vanoss tho
ik
......
@muted patio I am updating my b550 to support my 5600x so I was just wondering if I could build everything (of course not turning it on yet) and then flash the bios or would that cause problems
Depends on the B550. I would guess it doesn't have the proper BIOS so you'd need to leave the CPU OUT and do the FlashBack feature before putting the CPU in
was just wondering since I would not boot my system until I flash the bios, but I guess I will just flash the bios with the cpu out to avoid any issues
well I bought the ram and 2 tb storage and its not showin up
yay....
even with the 30 days thing it does nothin
The only email I've gotten so far :/
lemme see somethin rq
welp nothin
just gonna have to wait till december 29th or jan 5th
woo
can someone send me a 3k pc buld
build
idc if it has rgb
list
is there a 3k build list
he got the moneys
nice
lol
wait wth xd the build is just a cpu
people im not messing around
i know thats the amd thread ripper
without even lookinh
looking
threadripper is for cringe babies
can someone help me with a 1000 pc build l;ist
gaming streaming
its ok
🎈
Same answer as yesterday
I'm tryna see why mine isn't over 1000 dollars yet
oh
right its because the Ryzen is out of stock
and maybe because I budgeted a bit more?
idk
maybe
some motherboards do go out quickly aswell
or ram
like one time i was experimenting on pcpp and the motherboard went out of stock
what about used generic 16 core tr for 200$
oh boy
just talked to customer support and they said the order didnt go through
now I need to wait till the end of the month to be able to see if my moms card was charged or not
Anyone on to be willing to give some ideas on a build?
Or their thoughts on a build i wanna slap together
It usually should show up on the card within an hour or two in my experience
yea but my mom didn't set up the option where you can check out what was spent on her card
Ohhh got it
so pretty much she gets a statement or somethin that says everything that was bought
after every month
so either its gonna come the 29h if it was some how ordered or I'm gonna have to get my 160 bucks from my mom back after I read the letter
it woulda been 140 but since the 3yr protection and tax it was 20 bucks more
I believe even without it, if she's cool with it, she could call the card company, or Newegg could tell you if it was charged
well I asked customer support and they said nothing was purchased or somethin under my email
I checked my moms email if it somehow got under hers and nothin
but I did put on my address for it so if it did get bought then it would get sent to me
I NEED HELP
Idk if you guys find this offensive or if y’all enjoy this, but I need help because I’m totally new into building PC’s. Pls dm me if you like to search up parts and build them in your head or something like that
If you enjoy just putting parts together to make a pc
If that makes sense
bunch of ppl here like that, just give it a few mins. In the meantime give a budget and what you wanna use the system for @raw crane
Wdym use the system for? Like gaming?
mhm
Okay thank you
I don’t really have a budget, maybe like 2-3k?
Idk if that’s too little or too much, and it’s for gaming
Reason: Bad word usage
hml, i do this with my soul
Fun
what games @raw crane
@raw crane including monitors, peripherals in the budget or no?
What games do I play? MW, CW, R6S, GTAV, and more
No, just the tower
Or like the PC it’s self
Do you already have a monitor?
I could include everything in a list
Sounds like a build less than 2000
Okay bet
Streaming or no streaming?
Yeah
SLightly but not really.
Wdym? Does it sell out fast?
You can, patience
Mhm
Hmm rly?
After they took newegg off
ye
There's other services and stuff
Okay, I guess just gaming
1080p/1440p?
Bro I said I’m new idk
It's cool my b
You want keyboard mouse headset in the list?
No
I could add some suggestions
Yes!! Add some suggestions
It's under budget atm
Idk if it's just me but I believe most people who start out building way overestimate budgets. My $900 build can handle all those games at High-Ultra, if you want the most eye candy, in today's age $1500 is like the golden number
Monitor and below are just placeholder suggestions
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pjmQK3
You saying that kinda just made me satisfied in a way, I like the fact that you gave me an honest money budget on PC’s
I appreciate that
Okay thank you
I'm also gonna make another varient with an intel chip if you can't get your hands on a 5800x
Cooler is somewhat placeholder if you want to swap that out, and you could add more storage if you'd like
Okay bet bet, I would say that looks good but idk wtf I’m looking at 😎👍🏼
10700k varient
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tHdvDc
I could explain each choice if you want
Hey @stoic island looks like overkill
Okay Wdym by 10700k
Esp with 3080
@viscid glade I mean, Cold war, and most likely 1440p
I don't think that's overkill
AHhh yeah I actually don't know about the performance in Cold War much
Wait bro holy I’m so frustrated
at least I think that's what they meant with CW
I think I’m overwhelmed more likely
@raw crane to start off, right now AMD beats Intel
Yeah Cold War
laughs in Intel Budget Build now
Chips?
I think an R5 and 3070/208O would be a better fit
Oh yes yes I’m so glad I know what that is
CPU I know 😎😎 I heard not to touch the pins
Uh but I wanna feel them
I mean, 5800x is not a great spot price wise, I honestly want to swap it out but 5900x is overkill and 5600x isn't too future proof now that I look at it
Uh I’ll pretend like I understand
Yes yes 👏🏼
I just need to know what the parts do
Like wtf does a ram do
Okay, I'll try to explain
Is ram storage
Ram is like temporary storage that's very fast
@stoic island Great choices for the Ram/PSU/Case/Cooler/SSD
So you want to load what you're doing onto the ram
hm I wonder if there's a good picture I can find
Like download stuff?
Ram is storage for the CPU.
Does it make downloads faster
I would suggest a lot more storage, maybe 2Tb
This will do
Hard drive is storage for your downloads
CPU is the center of everything, it does the calculations for most of the things
ram is the storage that the CPU pulls from
the GPU is what actually makes the picture you see
yea
Wiat so the GPU isn’t separate?
I’ve been playing Xbox my entire life this is all new 😔
let's start with simplifications to start off, but GPU is on a card, and it makes the graphics that you see
GPU, CPU, Ram, all plugs into the motherboard
If you want to line it up with the Human body
CPU would be the brain, and the motherboard is all the veins running through your body
it connects everything together
yep
Yeah cause I’m a med student and just comparing it helps
motherboard is like the nervous system
Oh beettt okay
psu is like digestive system
What does PSU stand for
Power Supply Unit
converting raw electricity into stuff that is good for your computer
Right
Well, you could use an iGPU that's inside the CPU instead of a dedicated GPU, but some kind of GPU needs to exist for it to be usable
Okaayyy what’s the difference between iGPU
And GPU
Sorry I’m asking a ton of questions
iGPU = low power GPU. It's part of the CPU.
Oohhh okay
Reason: Bad word usage
Can I not use basic cuss words?
Corporate discord, supposed to be PG13
Those are ram
And what do all the numbers mean
dunno why they would say 3.2ghz other than to confuse you, lemme just help you real quick.
I just got random things to understand it thoroughly if you get me
when I don't use xmp my system works like a 9900k and 3070 should
What
I think it's most important you figure out how much storage you need, I've bought 3 SSDs because I ran out bc of Games like COD that are 100gb
Does
but when I do it freexes
That mean
Sounds like you're gonna need 2Tb out the gat
Idk, I have a 5TB plugged into my Xbox
And how full is that one?
3200 mhz
1 ghz = 1000 mhz
Oh thank you Mr1111
Bruh
G heartz?
Same zac I started with 1tb nvme then I was like steam games then got 3 nvme 2tb drives but still on very of needing more orderd a 5tb ssd
4pk 16gb means 4 sticks of 16gb memory
Nvm
And idk what any of that means
Lol
I’m literally so new 😔
3.2 Gigaherts -> 3200 Megahertz
Yea nvm
terrified of odd numbered drives
Oh and that part is misleading

so uh
So the more Hertz the better?
But you don’t understand, I didn’t even know what MHZ means 😬😬
For example c16 or c18
Kind of, but you also get diminishing returns above 3200mhz on Intel, and diminishing returns above 3600mhz on Ryzen
Let's get there one step at a time
Yes pls
3200 c16 is about the same as c18 frequency 3600
Oh and by the way, sometimes it's halved, and that's actually the frequency it runs at, it's confusing I know, but don't be concerned your ram is running at "half" it's advertised speeds
😔should I just watch YouTube videos about what you guys mean
but that part doesn't matter right now
oh yea Linus' second channel
Yea
tech quickie
Tech quicke
that one will be good
Okaaayyy 😦 sorry for everything
Don't be sorry
ur learning
we all start somewhere
I still might :p
people here love to teach others
only thing i will teach u is that seagate sucks ass
Which video, he made like 10,000
Its ok Nani I was just as lost as you you first jump into the pc scene
and to never fully trust the reliability of data that is only stored on one drive
Heck I still ask questions and ive been playing pc for 15 years lol
Y’all are so sweet 😫
jus read this but yeah if u have 1tb on XB then most likely u'll need more than 1tb on PC
How do you interpret the speed and timing specs on RAM kits, and how much does it matter for your PC?

I mean
So you don't need to look at that yet
Heck I had a dumb moment a few weeks ago on somthing so simple as formating my m.2 drive for windows to recognize it lol
Later you can
lmao same ive been doing this since i was 7
there hasn't been a real ram drive other than that ddr1 ram to pcie x4 slot adapter thing xD
haha 1111 that thing was fun
it's alright bro i had the same issue first time i got my m.2 as well 🤣
Thank you guys for your help but I’m overwhelmed and frustrated so I give up
I think mrt111 was the one who helped when I had the dumbest brain fart on why my drive wasn't showing in windows I just forgot to format it properly we all ask questions or need refreshed from time to time and this group is patient and always so helpfull
it's all good odds are we can have a nice part list ready and all you'll have to do is buy it, @stoic island 's list was pretty great, maybe more to be desired with storage in exchange for less CPU/GPU power
Can't forget vintage lol
There's something brown on your nose
Don't think we need to trade performance yet
Check the mirror
Naed is best
Nard king

Naed
nard
one smart cookie for sure
Yeap
Alright guys and gals its been good got work in 5 hours have a great night 🌙
gnite!
?
I was planning to
But now
I’m just annoyed
I already have med school I’m dealing with it, and so researching this is such an extra
Buy a pre built then
you can always go to a system integrator like xotic
Not all are bad
At some point if you're willing to spend extra
or maingear
Or hire a custom builder
bleh
Does everyone just have 2 - 3k on hand now a days?
Some people do
yes ik #shamelessselfpromo
i know a lot of ppl here are custom builders and this might rub some people the wrong way, but i think having a company to call and get help/warranty from is worth it over some rando
It is
:(
For plenty of folks
ive never told anyone to go to a custom builder
ill build you a pc if you pack me a bowl lmfao
Well
You don't have to have it on hanf
Hand
Credit cards lol
Credit cards
I wouldn’t know
Yeap
I can’t
You can just keep paying the minimum payment
And have no interest
And pay ot off slowly
No?
ah
In case u miss a payment
Good for long term to pay extra 20$ on each payment
But just don't wanna pay monthly balancr
You can pay
Minimum
Mayment
Which is like 10%
Of monthly
Or less
100% agree with that.
Trust lol
Minimum payment on credit balance is oof.
I- just pay 20% more than the minimum to cover you if you can’t or forget to pay a payment...
Dont do that
No
Obviously gonna hit like a truck overtimr
as a custom builder myself
To ur credit score
companies do it better
its why i shuffle people over to xotic
Literally stop I’m don’t pay the minimum asjgukwusgdbdndj
I paid for my pc upfront
ive worked with them before and theyre quality
From my bank
Nice n
so i send people there
Yeap
Il keep that name in mind
Btw
Does anyone know a free fan control software
I don’t have a credit card LL but I can’t :(
Bios
Because speed fan is bs

bios
bios
Mobo software
It's crappy but
Gigabyte mobo software?
and yeah 100000% if anyone needs a nice clevo chassis and are in the US
It kind of works
Lmaoo
you NEED to consider xotic
I can't even find gigabyte software
best prices and they dont skimp on service or labor
Yea
Seems legit and reasonable
I obviously don't need one
Just built my own
But yeah
I can recommend
true, but what i get from them
To people
O lol
heard of clevo?
the best laptop maker out there
O really?
10900k laptop
that doesnt throttle 
they also do ryzen stuff
10900k would be at 1.1million degrees
No way
one everyone knows is origin
alienware used to be clevo
Dang
Alienware overpriced everything
i think they still might be
O
everything in my house is dell
i have one server that isnt
Hello
one supermicro server
Do u really have a 3080
but a board
Yep
Still good
Also
6x 10gbps ports
Yep
Nice try
I got that today
Danng
makes a wonderful nas
This kid
joker is legit
I'm not a kid but ok
lmao u just called him a liar
I'm chillin 😎
Nah cuz his 3070
Yea
Yeap
Nice
Where r u from
Or are you on the computer 24/7 lol
With loudspeaker alerts on
I just got home lol
Lol
I traded a FE 3060 ti for the 3070
Sick
I also have a 9900k lol
Lol
Mb btw
Np bro
Didn't know
I've gotten alot of back lash cause I was selling the FE card for 650
O
Yea
New minecraft server letsgo 🙂
UMMM the power supply?
Oh ok
ik it's c-tier but tight budget, so whatevs
I'm tryna find a deal on a 3600 now
peace
best kit of 16 gigs of ram for a 10400?
idk too much about what intel like compared to ryzen
3200c16 will do fine
ok
10tb where :)))))
i need a cloud server lolol
do you have the bandwidth to host/a static ip?
ik mr1 loves crucial ballistixs stuff
i partner with a few VPS providers if you have any questions
noice
or not that kind of cloud server?
Not super fast but it works 🙂
I have been for some time
Ballistix gud
icic
i just need a personal cloud server
you mean like a dedicated box you can do whatever to?
or just personal cloud storage?
let me see what i can find
yep lol
oof
id grab something from synology
head on over to my friend's site at https://shucks.top/ to find the best prices for white label WD red drives
i can imagine how pricey
thats not bad actually
$600/m for 120tb
oof
from a provider that i like
resell
so i was getting the god tier rate
huge vps instances are EXPENSIVE
so joker what id suggest for you
head to synology's site
shop around, see what looks good
then start thinking about drives
minimum 4 bay nas
is that id say
i have an external 6tb attached
for sure
seagate archive drive
ik ik
seagate is gross and their "archive drive" branding just means smr
now thats the stuff
I was hoping for a wd red
those r server/nas drives not?
Yep
Really?
ur dreams came true
I thought wd reds were better
no
wd literally just uses reds in their externals
like how seagate uses exos enterprise drives in their 16tb
for 8tb nice
Had low hours on it too
in my new pc im getting like a 2tb wd blue and a nvme ssd
That 2tb it's 5400 rpm
was to broke for better lol
Right
i believe
You won't be saying that later
and 2tb is just bulk storag
That nvme is for boot right
and games
That's a bad idea lol
why?
Its not
Only reason I can get away with hdd is cause my board is asus and they have a program that enhances my drives
Its fine
Theres gonna be a dip in game performance
how
Such as cyberpunk is having alot of issues
XD
🤮
well im not playing cyberpunk
No. Its fine. Nvme for boot and games is fine.
Its just an example
1tb hdd is literally a waste of a sata connection
1tb nvme for boot and games and apps 2tb for bulk random storage
I run cp2077 from an nvme and its just fine. Its a good nvme though not a cheap one.
i have my 1tb samsung evo
Good one
Evo is just fine
I have a firecuda 500gb for my boot drive
ouch
You guys I have something here that I need you guys to look at cuz I have no idea what this is
alright
Can I send a pic here?
yeah
Yup lol
mhm
Exactly why I run Cyberpunk on my NVMe drive 😅
@tall wasp you still here?
Lol
its uploading
Its a 5400 rpm drive. With a small cache. Mmmmmmmm.........
lol
I can get away with using hdd cause I unitize my 32gbs of ram by using 3gbs of ram to enhance my other drives
Hard Drives? 5400 RPM? Are we in 2009 ????
eh
Umm
is that like a ram stick in a pcie slot lmao
Oh ffs
country of china 😂
Daum this is ancient
I read rev a as riva
honestly that looks more advanced than what @tall wasp sent

Ok just shoot me please lol
My fisrt pc was 14.4k dial up
lmao @idle hawk if u really have a 3080 sell it buy a 3070 and buy like top of line nvme ssd lol
or just get money
Yep
why not get a nvme then
And I have a 3060 ti coming tomorrow
Firecuda is a nvme
i5 and b460 🤮
Check this out on @Newegg: Seagate Firecuda 520 500GB Performance Internal Solid State Drive SSD PCIe Gen4 X4 NVMe 1.3 for Gaming PC Gaming Laptop Desktop - 3-year Rescue Service (ZP500GM3A002) https://www.newegg.com/seagate-firecuda-520-500gb/p/N82E16820248107?Item=N82E16820248107&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-20-248-107-_-12202020
get like a r5 3600/5600
and a b550
Lmao
rn ryzen is horrible value
amd way to go these days
He changed his mind
fr?
Ye
I'm happy with my 9900k
yup
dream would be 5950x
And I finally got the z73 kraken cooler
nah
Anything usable to add into a new pc?
10400 is faster than 3600 rn
ryan why not stay with ur 3600x and 5600xt
That's what I thought too
mhmm
No maxs stuff
i agree
If im not mistaken that might be a 4 gb drive.
Nut
Let me take a closer look
why tho
@idle hawk mail me a 3080 pls thanks. Lol
Yes
u a scaleper or smthn
400gb sorry
Um tf how am I scalping
lol
I traded a 3060ti for the 3070

just wondering why u needd like 3 30 series cards
Hard disk specification and storage device technical details for disk SAMSUNG HD400LJ
i mean they do be looking hot
Why not
what areu. using them in

I managed to order a ps5 on gamestop
Someone jelly>>>>>> @uneven mist
Lol nope
joker and i are ballin tf out
I’m gunna be jelly now
I'm planning on selling soon

When the msi ventus 3060 ti comes tomorrow
joker ill buy the 3070 for 3$
@idle hawk WHY YOU NEED SO MANY GPU LIKE LET US HAVE SOME YOU GREEDY PERSON
Alright peeps. do I impulse preorder this GPU even if it might take 1-2 months? Wondering if any of you had luck getting a 3060 Ti with normal methods
😦
"release day" is where you won
bro
Best buy has had 'coming soon' for the last 3 weeks and it's pissing me off
Ppl gave up but it released an hour later then everyone else
imagine gpu when u can have storage like me
^^
