kk

#

Looks fine

grand atlas
#

Not firm on that specific AIO though.

stoic island
#

arctic freezer ii

grand atlas
#

The little fan on the cpu block looks kinda silly imo

#

rip

muted patio
#

Yup

stoic island
#

Looks silly

#

but can actually work

timber isle
#

do I need any extra fans for the lian li lancool 2 mesh?

#

like should I get an exhaust fan?

muted patio
#

2 if you can

#

1 for the back and 1 for the top

timber isle
#

it comes with three front ones

muted patio
#

Best to balance the fans, IE 3 in 3 out, etc

timber isle
#

but you think more is needed?

#

ok

stoic island
#

Well, stock 3 intake only actually does just fine

#

more is nice-to-have

timber isle
#

k

stoic island
#

It's not needed

muted patio
#

Depends on what you're putting in it

timber isle
#

5600x/3070

muted patio
#

I'd get at least 1 top fan

#

$500 for a GPU, snag a couple cheap fans lol

timber isle
#

k, I was planning on it, but I was curious

#

thanks

muted patio
#

The case I just bought didn't come with exhaust fans

timber isle
#

which one?

muted patio
#

GN did a review, adding a single exhaust fan dropped component temps 3-5C or something

#

Phanteks P500A

timber isle
#

wow

#

ok

muted patio
#

Yep

timber isle
#

that's fun

muted patio
#

Mr11 is right though, it's not NEEDED but recommended

timber isle
#

ok

muted patio
#

Fans are cheap

frozen axle
#

quick question is there every a vrm clearance concern with cpu coolers?

timber isle
#

also, are there any pro tips for avoiding dust?

muted patio
#

VRM? Typically no, it's RAM clearance that's the issue

timber isle
#

besides not having a dusty house...

frozen axle
#

alright

stoic island
frozen axle
#

also if you wanna avoid dust a nice balanced airflow is nice

muted patio
#

Removeable filters. And positive pressure

frozen axle
#

^

stoic island
#

Fan normalized means they swap the front fans for NF-A14s and add in a rear fan

#

stock is just 3x120mm intake

muted patio
#

Fine, don't get fans

timber isle
#

positive pressure...?

stoic island
#

More intake than exhaust

timber isle
#

ok

#

so a 3 to 0 is good for that?

stoic island
#

Positive pressure means you can somewhat manipulate where it's pulling air in, therefore less dust through random cracks

timber isle
#

ok

fringe widget
#

positive pressure is when you want to keep things out. negative pressure is when you want to keep things in.

Hey guys it’s now got much to do with pc but has anyone got some cool table legs that would go well with a dark themed setup with the IKEA pinnarp tabletop

little osprey
#

if anyone here uses corsair fans and stuff can i get some help, i installed a profile for my rgb stuff, but it only works for my ram and mobo not fans or liquid cooler

#

i have ll120's and sp120's

desert gulch
#

@little osprey are they plugged into a rgb header controller?

quick girder
#

can someone send me a build of around 1100$

#

?

little osprey
#

theyre plugged into a commander pro so i dont have any of my fans plugged into the mobo

quick shore
#

apparently some 5000 series are dropping on newegg in 30

#

prepare yourselves

little osprey
#

Rate my build

brittle ore
#

ayo is the GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3090 DirectX 12 GV-N3090AORUS M-24GD solid as well?

#

or not recommended as well in terms of 3090

quick shore
#

any 3090 is solid 💀

small osprey
#

Aorus is legendary

quick shore
#

newegg got new stock

#

LMAOOOO THE WEBSITE CRASHED

#

would 650w be good for a ryzen 7 3070 combo? thinkingchief

muted patio
#

Plenty

quick shore
#

just making sure

#

I am now confident

#

that I will never be able to get my hands on a 5600

#

so

#

i shall look into getting a 3700

#

is 5600x stronger or on par with a 3700x?

#

I haven't been keeping up with pc hardware as of late

muted patio
#

Single core slightly faster

#

3700x is slighty faster multi core

#

So, kind of a run off

#

3700X is plenty for gaming

#

I has one, it's beast

quick shore
#

I shall pray to the omnissiah that I will be able to get this new cpu

#

honestly I think thats whats wrong with my pc lol

#

havent been making my prayers to the machine god every time I boot it

quick shore
#

im getting flashbacks rn to the great gpu shortage of 2018 it was I believe

#

isnt that when doods bought up alot of 1080ti's for bitcoin mining?

#

with the market to crash later that year in december

balmy patio

my friend's dad bought a lot of 1080ti's to mine 😳

quick shore

#

How much is a 4gb red devil rx570 triple fan is worth? Used for a year

next kestrel
#

85$

crude drum
#

Someone is seeking it to me for 150

#

Selling

little osprey
#

150? nah

#

thats a trash tier deal
sure the red devil is great but terrible deal still.

#

So I'm building a PC, and I was wondering if it was worth it to buy windows 7 and upgrade it to 10 instead of just buying 10

little osprey
#

just buy windows 10 on like ebay, super cheap there

#

and i don't think anyone sell windows 7 keys anymore

next kestrel
#

i mean even with this GPU shortage

#

150$?

#

i bought 2 rx 470 4gbs for that

little osprey
#

you can get some good deals still on rx 570
used market is full of them

Why is that re devil one on Amazon new for 180$??

@woven sinew It’s a tuf gaming one I got it for sale all I know is that it has a nvidia 2060 with 500 GB cus it was a gift

What’s the best key websites for buying games?

muted patio
#

Uh. Thats bot a topic for this discord

wary geode
#

anyone knows how to connect rgb to this with no pins

muted patio
#

You cant

#

Pins weren't soldered during manufacturing. Probably not enabled in the hardware either.

wary geode
#

yeah thats dumb

#

its fine ill try and find ome other rgb thing might have a controller lying around

woven sinew
little osprey
#

@wary geode are you looking at a image for a mobo with no pins or your current mobo have none?

wary geode
#

mobo doesnt have one

little osprey
#

your mobo?

wary geode
#

yeah doesnt have those pins

#

oh well ill figure rgb later

muted patio
#

Could get an external switch connector

#

Push a button to change it instead of software

do you guys have any build recommendation for 4K 60fps gaming ? I'm asking for a friend

verbal quarry

no sorry

#

whats the budget?

muted patio

@rough bough y u gotta be a scalper

#

Oh lol

muted patio
#

You realize that's $9,000 right?

urban trellis
#

Yep but idk if that man rich or something

#

12 000 in cad

#

You think I can get 144 fps in cod warzones on low settings with a 1660 ti with an overclock applied

#

If u know bout cod warzone

viral ore
#

pushing 120hz+ in MW is really cpu bound

muted patio
#

GTX 1660 Super can do it

#

143.6 fps

urban trellis
#

Ok

viral ore
#

my 10920x struggles with like a 7ms frame time

copper mason
viral ore
#

so it depends on what your cpu is if youre gonna get 144

muted patio
#

Just an FYI

#

Paired with a 2080 but you get the idea

copper stag
#

Heyo!

viral ore
#

i may have to look into what is wrong with my system running modern warfare lmao

muted patio
#

Just might

#

😉

urban trellis
#

Im also going to do some tweaking in nivida control panel

#

That gets higher fps

copper stag
#

i have a ? anyone here know how to create a hard drive disk on windows?\

#

if so, could u d, me?

viral ore
#

i get like 300 fps in cold war easily, i just assumed modern warfare was poorly optimized

copper stag
#

dm* me

muted patio
#

144hz or more requires six cores or more according to that site

#

What, you mean a partition on Windows 10?

copper stag
#

yeah\

#

i need help finding my hard drive on my pc

muted patio
#

Step by step

#

It won't show until you do the steps in the link if it's new 🙂

#

If it's a new drive, you'l want the New Partition section

little osprey
#

question, can someone explain CPU power connectors to me
im using a x570 taichi + 5600x + Corsair rm850w PSU
what exactly do i need to plug into the CPU power connector for this, i see many people having problems with this

muted patio
#

8 pin

#

No need to use the 4 pin

little osprey
muted patio
#

Lol my bad

muted patio
#

If you have like a 3900x/5950 and want to OC you may want to use the 4 pin

#

BUt it's not really needed

little osprey
#

just for OCing?

muted patio
#

Ye

#

HEAVY oc'in

little osprey
#

@copper stag i need ur help dawg

#

ok, thanks

languid cedar
#

i aimed for 1k

#

i think i did pretty well

muted patio
#

Mmmm....

#

Spend the extra bit on a Samsung if you can. Only another $10 over the P2 and much better

#

And if you can wait for a better GPU do it

stoic island
#

2060 pricing way wack

muted patio
#

If you go the RTX2060 to use RTX, DON'T

#

It sucks

stoic island
#

tomahawk max is uh

#

uhhh

muted patio
#

And overpriced right now

stoic island
#

no reason for it

languid cedar
#

i jsut cant find a good gpu

#

i really dont want to get a 30 series rn

muted patio
#

ALL will be overpriced right now

stoic island
#

@languid cedar Tomahawk max is at, if not above the price of decent B550 boards
Which have 2 slots supporting NVMe, instead of 1
Most of them with a better audio chip
AND all the advantages of B550

muted patio
#

It sucks

#

2000 series disctontinued as is the 1000 series GPU's

#

It's gonna be rough for a few months

languid cedar
#

i should prob just wait until the hardware industry goes down

#

its really expensive rn

muted patio
#

I would highly recommend it

#

If you can

languid cedar
#

i can

muted patio
#

Patience will pay off

#

because 3050, 3060 and other GPU's are coming

#

More choices

#

January-ish

#

Your list isn't bad, just needs some refinement

languid cedar
#

i really just need a pc with good graphics and cpu and ram... and storage... and mobo... and not a all in one

muted patio
#

Ye

#

GPU market is just garbo right now

i have a GTX 950m

#

What’s a decent monitor for 1080P and 1440p?

stoic island
#

What budget?

#

MSI G241 is a good 1080p panel at usually ~180$, Gigabyte M27q is a great 1440p panel at ~330$

hollow grail
#

950m beast gpu

chrome arch
#

330 not bad

#

If a screen cracks is it easy to repair ?

stoic island
#

why would it crack :P

hollow grail
#

why would it crack wtf

stoic island
#

like

#

you snap it in half?

chrome arch
#

Idk baby moms wilds out

#

are u a manchild who throws their controller when you lose games

chrome arch
#

Ex Gf

stoic island
#

I mean

hollow grail
#

ur stronger than her

stoic island
#

if it like snaps in half

hollow grail
#

:)))))

stoic island
#

it's a goner

hollow grail
#

dont take my advice lmao u will go to jail

#

but yes u can replace panel

stoic island
#

if you like scratch the panel, could TRY to replace the panel with a new one, but it's annoying, might be costly, and risky.

hollow grail
#

and also

#

will prolly save u around $70 over getting a new display

stoic island
#

@hollow grail tbh I imagine "cracks" as in physical cracks, meaning the whole thing is in half, including power delivery and the other bits and not just the panel

hollow grail
#

lol

yo so i am building a pc with a 3070 and Ryzen 7 5800X and 32 ram i have no idea what motherboard to get you yall help me

hollow grail
#

put a full specs list in here

#

use pcpartpicker

ripe wedge
#

asus tuf or rog b550 or x570

hollow grail
#

then someone from here can pick it apart help you pick the correct components to suit your use case

ripe wedge

or something like an Aorus elite or something

round dirge
hollow grail
#

someone likes corsair

round dirge
#

yeah haha

hollow grail

id prolly shell out more cash and get a pcie gen 4 boot drive

#

and have another m.2 for mass storage

hollow grail
#

get their ssd keeeeek

#

mp600 for boot mp510 for mass

#

corsair build >:)))

ripe wedge
#

doesnt have to be a 1tb

#

could be like a 500gb for the boot

#

or 256

round dirge
#

oh okay yeah

ripe wedge
#

just depends on how much budget u have left

hollow grail
#

256 is pathetically small

#

dont get 256gb

500gb new minimum

round dirge
#

a few 100 left i have no idea for the motherboard

hollow grail

oh nice yeah i was looking into that one

strange wadi
#

How many options are there for a Ryzen 5 3600, a B550 goes well with it from what i've heard. Are there any other options of other motherboards ?

stoic island
#

@strange wadi B550 is a chipset, there's like a hundred different B550 boards

strange wadi
#

Aye, so that's the highest tier there is

#

Thank you comrade, i appreciate the service of the explanation

stoic island
#

It's the chipset that makes the most sense

abstract quest
#

can someone build me a pc for 3000 aud

stoic island

Fairly awkward time to make a list, I could try, but mobile is hard

stoic island

#

mmhm i built one

stoic island
#

So I wouldn't worry too much, iirc australian market wasn't that bad last time I made a list

abstract quest
#

but seems a bit boujee lol

#

either way im buying parts separately

#

and no joke, importing through amazon is sometimes cheaprr

#

i feel like its overkill

#

this one sorry

viral ore
#

cpu cooler way overkill

#

motherboard way overkill

#

bad ssd

hollow grail
#

imo ram overpriced

viral ore
#

not overkill, but overpriced memory

#

good psu

#

good monitor

hollow grail
#

meh hdd

viral ore

that hdd is fine as a game drive

hollow grail

would rather get a 4tb blue for $20 more

viral ore
#

thats in aud btw

#

its a 50 usd hdd

hollow grail

yeah and the blue is $65-70

in real money

tyty

#

ahaha this is just a base man

#

my exam results are coming out in 8 days

#

depending on it i may or may not be allowed to build it

#

but i do want that cooler though, its just overpriced right?

viral ore
#

you want a 360mm AIO for a 5600x?

#

i mean, sure it makes the build look cool

abstract quest
#

a diff one is also fine

#

i was thinking of deepcool since its cheaper

viral ore
#

if you arent dead set on that case, i think getting a case that supports a 240mm rad at the top would be cool too

#

actually that case might

abstract quest
#

and the ram is also boujee that my friend added lol

#

i also will be changing that monitor, too overkill. gpu is also not needed, might change it to 3060 ti

#

but yeah the final build will be done after my exam results

little leaf
#

So whats ur problem

#

@restive stump

restive stump
#

so basically my 2070 super is underperforming

#

someone in a game i was playing said it was bottleneck but i have a ryzen 7 2700

little leaf
#

@restive stump how badly?

#

First make sure your hdmi or dp cable is plugged into the gpu not mobo

restive stump
#

i have low settings on modern warfare and the highest it will go up to is 140, ive seen other people with the same specs as i do and itll go up to those frames on medium to high settings

#

& it is connected to my gpu

little leaf
#

If that doesnt work have you monitored the temps?

#

And see if its thermal throttling

restive stump
#

yeah they usually stay around 140-145 on with the fans set on auto

little leaf
#

C?

restive stump
#

no F

little leaf
#

Oh please never use f when talking about pcs

hollow grail
#

c is pc temp

restive stump
#

sorry 😂

hollow grail
#

always

little leaf
#

Either way 60c seems fine

hollow grail
#

its like the unspoken rule

restive stump
#

ill switch it over to C later

little leaf
#

Is there any abnormalities

restive stump
#

wym

little leaf
#

Like artifacting

restive stump
#

oh nope

little leaf
#

Is it a steady fos

#

Fps

#

Or are the random spikes

restive stump
#

no sometimes itll jump higher sometimes itll drop to 80-90

little leaf
#

Has this been happening for a while?

restive stump
#

yeah

little leaf
#

How long

restive stump
#

since i got my 2070 so about a month already

#

Well Id love to help you more buts its 1 for me

yeah ik

hollow grail
#

ur saying its not picking up the storage devices?

copper igloo
#

yeah when i boot into it with the usb and get to where it finds my storage it says something along the lines of Driver not found and i click browse nothing and refresh and nothing

#

when i get home i will send pics and all of that so you can understand it better because i dont remeber what it says on the top of my head

hollow grail
#

i know what it says

#

make sure drive is connected properly and make sure installer is on usb2

#

and youll be fine

little osprey
hollow grail
#

ud be ok with 750 i think

little osprey
#

Pcpartpicker shows that i would need a 380w psu, i deffinetly dont think that would be enough

hollow grail
#

pcpp wattage estimations r weird

#

iirc they dont show max

little osprey
#

Idk why but in my country i can get a 750w corsair white psu with rgb fan for 100$ and a non rgb for 140$

hollow grail
#

white like

#

white colored?

#

or white rated

little osprey
#

White color

#

Oh, i realised the rgb one is cx and non is rm, what are the differences?

#

ill just probably get the non rgb one, its a bit more expensive, but has 850w and i read that cx one's are worse than rm psu's.

I'm thinking of upgrading from my B450m Hdv R4.0 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600, what motherboard do you suggest y'all ?

loud spade
#

I need some advice from y'all like minded gamers\builders.
I am looking to assemble a new build.
I will be using the card for Video rendering 4k 60fps videos, Video Game development, and HD Blender rendering....and of course Video Games of course.
I had my laptop DIE, and the insurance paid me the total cost of it since it was not able to be repaired.
so... DO i go for the RX 6800 or RX 6800XT?
Mind you I will HUNT for which ever one at an MSRP price..

mortal kraken
loud spade
#

yeah i used that site ^^ thank you. I was going for Opinions mostly.
But i think i will probably go for WHICHEVER one I can find at MSRP first.

gleaming quartz
#

this is hypothetical, right?

#

since both the 6800 and the 6800 xt arent restocking for a while and even if they do, their prices will be extremely inflated

there's even less stock for amd cards than nvidia cards

Lol nope

Are there any sites that sell 3060ti's with international shipping?

Anyone know much about building a server? My buddy needs one for his business. I’ve built a computer but am not too sure if it’s similar to a pc or not. What I looked it seems similar

I take that back, yes, that one comes with a cooler and paste. Just make it says WITH COOLER and not CPU ONLY

$400 motherboard is overkill

There are better priced SSD's, save you $20

red oasis

@muted patio thx

#

That's the one i have

muted patio

There is paste on the bottom of the cooler protected by plastic

Don't remove the plastic until the cooler is ready to go on, you'll be fine

I just need a psu and I'll build my first

Where does the file save if I select download or desktop

#

Mbr drive?

#

muted patio
#

Yes, typically

#

It doesn't matter where you save it though, should be able to open a ZIP file from any location. Invalid file means the library is corrupt or the DL was corrupt

Do I even want to ask what this is or where it's from?

lol

Cuz this sounds super spoopy

zealous edge
#

Nah

#

For some reason

#

My wifi

#

Idk whats happening to it lol

#

its like 50 kbps per second

#

I think thats why

muted patio
#

My experience

#

Slow DL + Invalid ZIP = spoopy

zealous edge
#

it was fast yesterday

#

Its a 72 gig file so

muted patio
#

oh

zealous edge
#

Yeap

muted patio

Hmmmm

#

Yeah, I'm not gonna ask what this is

But

#

Idk what's happening to my internet lol

#

It shows 300 mbps

#

On ookla

and on task manager

#

its like under 50 kbps

#

I just deleted the file lol

#

Idk whats happening to my wifi

muted patio
#

I'm saying

#

It's where you're getting the file from

zealous edge
#

Oh

#

Do u wanna know :p

#

LOL

muted patio
#

no

#

I can already tell

zealous edge
#

where?

#

Is that gonna mess up my hard drive lol?

muted patio
#

Depends on what is packed into the ZIP file you're getting from a spoopy source

#

Scan that puppy before you unpack it

zealous edge
#

Not that spoopy

#

It doesnt even unpack lol

#

It just downloaded

#

and i deleted it

#

lmao

#

If It didn't unpack

#

It doesn't do anything right???

muted patio
#

Nope

zealous edge
#

k

#

So

#

Vintage

#

The file probably downloads slow(even tho im not downloading it anymore) because windows defender is checking every file inside of it

#

Plus its a large file right?

muted patio
#

nah, the download site they use is super crappy

zealous edge
#

o ok

#

Upload heaven

#

Thats crappy right?

#

The file said invalid when I tried to open it

So it didn't open right?

Do I really need integrated graphics on my CPU?

Thanks

little osprey

aight

#

ty

analog pulsar
#

What do you go with first then picking a pc parts out

muted patio
#

I start with CPU. That will determine motherboard and ram. Then monitor resolution, which will determine GPU. Lastly, PSU and case.

analog pulsar
#

Okay brb

#

Now the question is Intel or AMD

#

I was thinking Intel

muted patio
#

Intel is budget right now

#

10700K or something

little osprey
#

10700k, 10400f and 10100

analog pulsar
little osprey
#

there is also 10600k but you can get like a 5600x(if in stock) for a 30 bucks(last i checked)

analog pulsar
#

Will 9th gen work fine

little osprey
#

yeah but keep in mind that there is no Hyper threading so you will be limited when doing productivity work

analog pulsar
#

I am just gaming

little osprey
#

then yeah, it's gonna do fine.

little leaf
#

Why not 5600x

analog pulsar
#

Bc I wanna try Intel

little osprey
#

gonna check the price of the i7 10700k again

little leaf
#

Why are u making another pc

analog pulsar
little osprey
#

also 10700k is 320 so i would consider going 10700k instead

analog pulsar
#

I’m sure 4 core can run game

red oasis
#

How do i ground myself without straps?

little leaf
#

Whats your budget

#

Plug in the psu

#

Turn it on

red oasis

That's all

Touch it ever so often

analog pulsar

Why do youtubers wear straps then? @little leaf

hollow grail
little leaf

Cause they have them

Tbh I dont ground myself

hollow grail

have never grounded self once

only almost died once

little osprey

thats a meh cpu
you can get a 10400f for 50$ bucks more unless you are on a tight budget

little leaf

I just work on hard wood

10600k going for 259 tho

analog pulsar
#

I saw that too

#

I would also like to try to buy a vr headset

muted patio
#

10600K only DDR4-2666 tho

analog pulsar
#

But if we can’t fit that into a pc build that is fine too

analog pulsar
muted patio
#

Ye

analog pulsar
#

How much is a 5600x going for

#

Best Buy is showing $300

#

That’s pretty sheep

#

But wait a i7 10th gen is 265

#

Brb

#

Yea I’m gunna go Intel

hollow grail
#

why are u doing this again

#

doesnt your pc work fine

ripe wedge
#

exactly

#

theres no point

analog pulsar
#

I’m selling my pc and I have a buyer

ripe wedge
#

kenzie its a bad time to just build a new pc anyways

#

ddr5 right around the corner

#

with new motherboards

muted patio
#

Um

ripe wedge
#

new am5 platform

muted patio
#

Consumer DDR5 won't be a thing until End of 20201

#

2021

hollow grail
#

wow end of 20201 that is a while

ripe wedge
#

I mean yea but I think kenzies pc should be enough until then

muted patio
#

Yup

hollow grail
#

might hold off after all keeeek

muted patio
#

Production issues

#

I wouldn't expect DDR5 to be mainstream until 2022 TBH

ripe wedge
#

yeah

analog pulsar
#

I can sell pc and wait but Intel 10th gen i7 is $265 and AMD 5600x is $300

I7 has 8 core
5600x is 6 core

hollow grail
#

8700k will last me till then :)))))

tawdry sage
hollow grail
#

no thermaltake

#

bad

ripe wedge
#

everything but psu

hollow grail
ripe wedge
#

cases are kinda preference

#

the case should be fine but id look at other options

hollow grail
#

thermaltake more like badthermalstake

ripe wedge
#

id get an rm850x if you can @tawdry sage

#

for the psu

#

or rm750x

tawdry sage
#

I don't want RGB I want a decent case but from aesthetics I like the TT case. I have a TT core V21 for my current mATX and I love it.

hollow grail
#

thermaltake is ass

ripe wedge
#

thermaltake cases arnt entirely bad lili

#

only their psus

hollow grail
#

but if u have your heart set on it

tawdry sage
#

Yeah I didn't change the PSU cause I already have it in my current build and I have the 3080 installed and it runs that fine.

hollow grail
#

theyre also not entirely good either @ripe wedge

slender sparrow
#

Ddr5

#

Whaaaa

hollow grail
#

thermaltake's good stuff is still mediocre

ripe wedge
#

yeah but its a $60 case

#

lol

tawdry sage
#

But I will get a new PSU cause I want to sell this PC

hollow grail
#

id get a define r7

muted patio
#

There's a catch

hollow grail
#

over that

slender sparrow
#

I just got pc part 3800x 5700xt

muted patio
#

The 5800x won't work in that mobo without a Bios flash

#

Which means you'll need a working CPU since it doesn't have Flash Back

hollow grail
#

that too keeeek

muted patio
#

IE, 3000 series or something

ripe wedge
#

so basically get a better mobo

tawdry sage
#

Ehh I am a simple guy, I want a sleek no RGB case minimal glass and not a huge price

little leaf
#

Whyd u get a 3800x

slender sparrow
#

Wtd is a 5800x

hollow grail
#

define r7 then

little leaf
#

3800x so bad

slender sparrow
#

@muted patio I’ve never heard of 5800x

tawdry sage
#

The MoBo does has a flashback

muted patio
#

The ASUS TUF?

tawdry sage
#

Yeah

little leaf
#

Thr 5800x is a new cpu

slender sparrow
#

I meant 5800x

#

O

#

I got 3800x

#

And 5700xt

muted patio
#

I didn't see it listed in the specs on teh ASUS website

slender sparrow
#

Is 3800x good

hollow grail
#

better airflow

tawdry sage
muted patio
#

Ay

#

good to go then

ripe wedge
#

flashback button go brr

slender sparrow
#

I also got fractal

#

ripe wedge
#

solid build tho

that's not full gaming connectivity

little leaf
tawdry sage
#

Thanks for the advice I will buy a new PSU

hollow grail
#

@tawdry sage how are u mounting the aio

#

front mount?

earnest olive
#

where is the firewire smh

little leaf
#

Anyone know if this board would work well for ocing a 9900k

tawdry sage
#

Yeah

muted patio
#

AIO should almost ALWAYS be top mount

slender sparrow
ripe wedge
#

make sure u mount it tubes down

slender sparrow
#

I got this

muted patio
#

Keep the pump flooded

earnest olive
#

someone in here flamed me for top mounting my rad once

ripe wedge
#

dont think u can top mount it in that case @muted patio

earnest olive
#

said it was gonna murder my temps

muted patio
#

Most tubes aren't long enough for bottom tube front mount TBH

#

Especially a 360mm AIO

hollow grail
muted patio
#

240 maybe

earnest olive
#

@little leaf says that that mobo is good for 250W sustained

little leaf
hollow grail
#

no top mount

little leaf
#

Oh okthanks

earnest olive
#

so yeah should be good to do a reasonable daily oc on 9900K

ripe wedge
#

I mean kinda top mount lol

tawdry sage
earnest olive
ripe wedge
#

just have half the aio on the hole

#

lol

hollow grail
#

but whatever

ripe wedge
#

I dont even think that case will fit a 360mm aio on the front

tawdry sage
hollow grail
#

yeah

earnest olive
#

aorus elite line has been consistently impressive from what i've seen

hollow grail
#

i was gonna check but

earnest olive
#

z390, z490, b450, b550

hollow grail
#

i didnt care enough

ripe wedge
#

@tawdry sage check out the coolermaster TD500 mesh

#

see if u like it

tawdry sage
#

From my "research" x570 is better than b550 due to pcie 4.0 lanes

hollow grail
#

thats another great case

tawdry sage
ripe wedge
#

b550 has pcie gen 4 also

hollow grail
ripe wedge
#

td500 mesh has rgb fans but you could just turn them off or replace them PepeShrug

tawdry sage
#

but only for the GPU from my understanding then 3.0 for the other lanes

hollow grail
#

ez

ripe wedge
#

I think that varies from board to board

mossy plaza
#

is there anything different between the Ryzen 5 3600 and the Ryzen 5 3600x?

hasty bobcat
#

binning

ripe wedge
#

base clock and boost

#

and bin yes

mossy plaza
#

hmm alright thx

ripe wedge
#

not really worth it unless the 3600x is cheaper than the 3600

#

same goes for the 3600xt

tawdry sage
ripe wedge
#

lol

#

well u need a case that can fit that 360mm aio

tawdry sage
#

Yeah I need to look

#

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I'll change my cooling solution.

ripe wedge
#

iirc this should fit a 360mm

tawdry sage
ripe wedge
#

oof

#

it can only have 280mm on top

#

360mm front only

#

we have that as an option ill keep looking

tawdry sage
#

I'll change cooling, not a big deal

ripe wedge
#

that cooler is good

tawdry sage
#

I can get the 280 version

ripe wedge
#

yea should be fine with a 280

tawdry sage
#

Thanks for the help and look over! I think i'm happy with it. Now to buy everything I am missing.

ripe wedge
#

nice! wait hold up

#

nvm

#

all good

#

just was checking your ram lol

tawdry sage
#

Gotcha! Gotcha!

#

oh the RAM I know should be solid lmao, not gonna be cheap like my last build.

ripe wedge
#

yea was making sure it was 3600mhz lol

tawdry sage
#

16GB of DDR3 1333hz

#

🤣

ripe wedge
#

ryzen likes faster ram

tawdry sage
ripe wedge
#

only thing that I dont like about that ripjaws set is the CL for it

void hemlock
#

as long as it is a factor of 1800 you should be good

ripe wedge
#

its CL18 but should still be fine

void hemlock
#

infinity fabric inner workings

tawdry sage
#

ohh my bad lol the one I bought was CL16

#

ah

#

"G.Skill 32GB DDR4 PC4-28800 3600MHz Ripjaws V for Intel CL16 (16-19-19-39) Dual Channel kit (2x16GB) Black"

ripe wedge
#

3600C16 32gb?

#

ah nice!

#

should be good

tawdry sage
#

I put the wrong one in pcparts

ripe wedge
#

I have G.skill trident z rgb neo 3600C16 2x16gb

#

love it

#

gskill is great

#

if you wanted to be a little more about the aesthetics you could get cable mods lol

#

like asiahorse cables

tawdry sage
#

Nahh I don't care too much I can't see the computer from where I sit. I just want performance

ripe wedge
#

ah gotcha

tawdry sage
#

That's why the 60$ case was cool with me lol

ripe wedge
#

ya gonna use it for gaming?

tawdry sage
#

That's the plan

ripe wedge
#

you gonna go with the corsair case or the TT case?

tawdry sage
#

Corsair! That thing is sleek!

ripe wedge
#

o yeah a lot of people like it here

#

I think ghosty has it iirc

tawdry sage
#

I'm just glad I got lucky and already got the CPU and GPU which was the hard part.

ripe wedge
#

ah nice!

tawdry sage
#

The rest of the stuff I can just wait for it come in whenever. Took several weeks of trying to get them

ripe wedge
#

I managed to get a 3080 too

tawdry sage
#

Nice! which one?

ripe wedge
#

I have the Aorus Master variant

#

from Gigabyte

tawdry sage
#

That's looks pretty cool! I like that LCD granted I would never see it lol

ripe wedge
#

lol

#

I bought it within like 4 seconds of seeing it pop up on newegg

#

was refreshing for 30 mins

tawdry sage
#

Dang nice! yeah you gotta be signed in and waiting for the drop

#

Everything goes FAST!

ripe wedge
#

yea lol

#

as soon as I was done checking out it was out of stock when I went back and looked at the page

tawdry sage
#

I only got lucky with the 5800x because someone was selling it on Facebook marketplace for $500. Which is only $24 higher than buying it from the store, with tax. He decided to do a 5950x/3090 build instead and didn't want to sell it for alot more. I thought it was too good to be true.

ripe wedge
#

ah nice!

#

I coulda bought a 5800x off amazon a bit ago but im happy enough with my 10700k at 5.1ghz

tawdry sage
#

yeah I am running a i7-6700k with the 3080 and ddr 1333mhz at the moment. The Frame drops are real.

little leaf
#

Hr

#

How

#

Are u running ddr3 with 6700k

tawdry sage
#

My mobo is a Asus z170m-e d3

ripe wedge
#

strange

#

lga 1151 but ddr3

tawdry sage
#

Yup.... It shocks people everytime I say it

#

DDR4 when I built this was crazy expensive

ripe wedge
#

lol imagine running a 9900k with ddr3 ram

little leaf
#

Lol

tawdry sage
#

So it's not compatible, 9900k needs DDR4

tawdry sage
#

Smarter to just build something new and sell this off with the 1080ti

earnest olive
#

technically

#

you can run the 9900K with ddr3

#

but ddr4 is so cheap that there's absolutely no reason to

#

my ram is running 3800MHz CL16 and it cost me $68

tawdry sage
#

Yeah, now it's cheaper a few years ago when it first came out. Not so much.

earnest olive
#

this board is compatible with 9th gen and ddr3

hollow grail
earnest olive
#

a 9900K will also probably melt the vrms on this board

#

but

hollow grail
#

oops chat scrolled

earnest olive
#

it'll turn on

hollow grail
#

it might even stay on

#

for over 5 minutes!

earnest olive
#

😳

#

doesn't that just scream 9900K ready

hollow grail
#

oh lord

earnest olive
#

4 phase vrms with no cooling

hollow grail
#

wait

#

would it even boot

#

only 1 power thingey

earnest olive
#

it would probably need bios update

#

but yes

hollow grail
#

oh itd boot just maybe not run at stock or smth

earnest olive
hollow grail
#

i honestly forgot how much those give vs how much 9900k takes

earnest olive
#

imagine running 9900KS on this

hollow grail
earnest olive
#

oops forgot something
