Any suggestions for a 850W/1000W power supply and a 430W/500W power supply! Thanks ahead of time.
Corsair CX series, no M
Anything from the Tier B, Tier A list from here: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/
PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.6 Last Update: 29-11-2020 Gray - EoL / obsolete. Generally not recommended for purchase since its going to be pre-owned, refurbished or old stock. Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs) Gold - best units in the tier (...
Sapphire Pulse or Gigabyte Gaming OC for 5700XT? Both are same price. Tech Jesus said they were the top 2 overall Cards
Sapphire
Bet
Sapphire has always had great AMD cards as well as Powercolor
interesting. According to PCPP base and overclock speeds are higher on the Sapphire than the Gaming OC
also like the look of the Pulse, and the Pulse is smaller so no or less GPU sag
Can anyone check this build for me its for a friend and im not up to date with current gen hardwarw
I'd also shoot for like a P500A case
Ok thanks
I mean, nothing wrong with that case if they want white
but the P500A has some of the best airflow on the market for $100
The other thing is
3600 C16 ram is likely to be cheaper than the 3200 CL14
same performance
Yeah i still have alot of budget so i might just grab c14 3600
That works too!
I caved in
I sent a warranty request to amd
hopefully my cpu falls under warranty
I was going to originally and wait for another cpu but the stock won’t come in time for when I need my pc up and running again
What are some small micro-ATX cases that don't require liquid cooling & can support most graphics cards?
Budget?
!!
No progress so far from earlier
darkFlash Micro ATX Mini ITX... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R7N31KX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
this is the case I use Rn
rn*
It’s great
I bought back in the summer for my college build
it’s a good size and not too heavy
that’s as micro atx as they go
I've seen much smaller but mini-itx could work too
If u want smaller then mini itx is the way to go
yea mini-itx*
why U need such a small case for if I may ask
is it like gonna be a portable machine
yep
I've only built two computers ever and I don't know which gpu's are compatible with which cases
and IF liquid cooling is necessary
2
Oh I don't mind that then
Razer makes a nice mini itx case oirc
I'm thinking of one of those new Ryzen's and a compatible card
Iirc
not bad not bad 👍
are there any CPUs that are known to be good for streaming?
5600x, 3070, 1tb we nvme, 1tb ssd 2.5, 4x8 tridesent z neo 3600 cas16, h100 I cappelix w/ 6 ll120 fans in lian li 2 mesh ....with either x570 rog strix e orrr x570 asus tuff PRO not plus also cant decide on psu right now I have evga BQ 750w, corsair cx650f rgb, and season focus GX-750. Plz advise?
Yea I have a ryzen 5 and its alright so a ryzen 7 should be good
since u got the Fort Knox budget then go for a 7
only issue is tho fam is that a lot of ryzen is out of stock
that's alright I can wait
U would be looking for this new machine in early January tops
Like around 9-12th at best
@stoic island thank you
For now I'm going to look into which cards fit in this case that Mr1111 linked and if certain parts arent compatible with mini-itx cases/motherboards
A lot
^^
@strange dew just check this for GPU lengths
http://techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/
even then the airflow might be bad due to the small form factor
it has most if not all partner models with their lengths listed
it’s going to be an interesting build nonetheless
TBH... how good are $600-700 laptops?
They're low powered desktops.
Mobo? X570 pro wifi asus tuff orrrrr rog strix x570-e gaming
u can cook chicken on them tops
Would assume so but idk where my motherboard cooling brackets are and am upgrading to an AIO. Would assume i could get any replacment parts on Amazon for the AM4 socket (R5 2600x cpu)
Usb c front connector?/? Wifi?
ML240 I assume, well, look around for AM4 stock backplate and you might find em
Yeah I found an order then I was just making sure that they would work on any motherboard as long as the socket is the same
Yea they should
Assumed so thanks for your time
You're welcome
Is the price right ?is this an High End ? Can I stream at 1080p ?
Too expensive for that prebuilt
Any immediate issues you guys see, he already has a 2080
@tired hamlet It's relatively more mid end
but it is very overpriced
I'd price it closer to like 1400$ maybe
So I got home with my 3060 ti
Right now I have the system running off of intregrated graphics
Do I install the drivers then card or card then drivers
Did you ever have a GPU in the system?
No
One you get the nVidia drivers installed, disable the Intel GPU in Device manager
Else games will get confused and sometimes use that instead
Ok
F I thought the adapter for the card was shorter lol
It is so long
The dongle I now have to re run the gpu cable
Congratulations
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fWgnXb what's wrong with this?
The case and cpu cooling that I have aren't on the website
The gpu. $550 for a 1080 oof
Yes I'm changing the gpu, but is it just that?
$170 for B450 also, Get B550 instead
can someone build me a pc part picker list please
B550 aorus elite ax is 170$
as an example
that's what I'd consider a high end b550 board too
Guys I need help please. I am new to PCs in general. I need to build a PC but unfortuntly the newegg build system does not block you from adding parts that are not compatible. Can someone please help and take a look at my list to make sure all parts are compatible. Feel free to change parts if needed. https://newegg.io/01f3702
*unfortunately
Try using https://pcpartpicker.com/list/, it's nicer to work with
Thank you. Will pcpartpicker stop me if I try and add a part thats not compatible with something I have? I apprciate the help
Gotcha. I really appreciate it!
But also, we're more about getting more bang for your buck, so a lot of the suggestions we will give are based off price and features.
Yeah no problem at all. Let me make this list and ill send it so you can let me know what you think. Thanks again
You're welcome
Hello
anyone know of a better MOBO than the b450 steel legend. Concerned about the board specs and looking at alternatives
currently looking at these
@mortal void for what chip
What currency?
CAD. Nothing more than $150. That's how much the Steel Legend is
oh now i understand
needs 2 M.2 slots
when im from 150$ its so much
what
whats that
screw that psu but
ok
@odd crypt 1650 super or 5500xt when they're 200$ or less
I have the list I made - can you take a look and let me know what I need to adjust. I would like to drop that current price but dont know where I should make adjustments. As long as I can upgrade parts in the future then Im good. I want to stay around 1,500-1,600 bucks - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Bqrp2
that's actually perfect thanks. By chance do you know if Vuugo is a good site? I wanna get as much of my build local as possible but some things need to be ordered. And Newegg has it for like $180 if it isn't on sale
day 91 of waiting for the 3300x stock
@little osprey I'd do something like this in terms of changes to start off, the AIO is somewhat of a placeholder, Galahad just performs quite a bit better than MSI's aio
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jGbRnL
realtek is weird
Yo new egg, I need your infinite knowledge on what this cable is
which is very depressing
@stoic island Thanks for that. 2 questions then ill leave you alone - at the bottom its showing compatibility issues, are those warnings correct? Also is there an alternative for the RTX 3060 that would be good in case I cant find it available?
hm, looks like I choose the wrong PSU at first @little osprey
Edited: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/G7sVfP
extra 4 pin is nice to have for Intel
what is it coming out of
and the notes wise, the sharing port won't effect you
Im not keen on technicalities so I cant really say, Hope that helps tho
looks like a usb 3.1 @random galleon
wait tf
it worked
i jsut started realtek audio console and then it started working
i hate realtek
@stoic island Thank you!
:)
Canada Computers kinda sucks ass. They have stuff in stock but it's not for shipping
the hell
they have a separate store for their online and physical locations
Reason: Bad word usage
damnit

all the good budget ryzen options are out of stock anyways, 3100, 3600
damn they even removed the 3300x from their website entirely
they'll ship my PSU to Me, I think they'll ship my GPU but it's on backorder only. But my fans, and MOBO aren't available for shipping
can you do curbside pickup or are the physical locations too far?
and Vuugo doesn't seem like a good site from what people say about it
do I need a pcie wifi adapter or can I get a reeeally long ethernet cable instead?
definitely too far
ah
if my city didn't suck for PC shops it would be better
Memory Express is the best we got
sort of the only thing we got actually
they're usually decent
you'll probably just have to wait for CC's online store to get restockdd
they don't have alot of the good mobos I want
oh weird they're usually decent, atleast where I am
currently have ASRock b550m pro4 on my build. Its the best board for what I need. (shout out to Mr1111)
that's the one you're getting?
I plan on it
everything I'm doing is Future planning really. Don't have the money I need, and don't see myself getting it anytime soon
but hey I like PC's
and it's a good time killer messing around with PCPP
why not grab it off newegg or something?
yeah I did the same before I got a majority of my parts
now I'm searching for the final part which is the cpu
mobo is from Newegg currently
but it's hard with the out of stock stuff though
but it's $180 full price
really?
@south geode eyyy same case
atleast for Canada
Is this any good?
Better than amazon
everything seems that way
I already have a case with a cpu cooler
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JjLdMv
trying to find a cheaper Z370/390, but this is where im at with my next flip build
amazon and newegg are basically the same for pricing, atleast non-marketplace seller wise
Get mp34 nvme, either 256 or 512gb for OS
@worldly pagoda Missing a case
That too
Deepcool Genome is my case
Canada computers, memory express and a few others are all we have :(
Not here.
Comes with the cpu cooler @stoic island
What is this?
@glacial umbra
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/D2YRnL
@austere condor Looking pretty nice still, dunno if you'll get a cheaper z390 board, and you could go for a 20$ gammaxx 400
nice that's a decent first build
or is it not your first?
I'm doing my first soon and it's much lower end lol
What is an nvme drive?
im trying to find something for like $70ish, lol @stoic island
@little osprey not much faster than SSD
it'll be my first build
@stoic island for OS load times?
you can get a sata ssd as well
nice
@little osprey look up any testing for OS load times
I'm gonna be building my first once I get the cpu
NVMe vs SATA SSD load time difference is minimal
Hmm
Is it cheaper?
Not much
Can someone make a $700 pc part picker list for my friend
He is thinking of a prebuilt gaming pc
@stoic island could you please make one
gimme a bit
check rule 9
Ah shi
@frozen junco slightly over, could swap for a 10100 for the chip to get it under 700
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xdYRnL
My bad 😦
Thanks
what’s the best 2tb nvme for under $230?
Curious why this is, my PC when starting after it is shut down will have a white light on the VRAM light, if i restart it goes off. The computer is working just fine though. Why does this happen??
Motherboard is Asus b550 plus
guys
will i be able to put my gpu on the top slot? if the ssd thing is right there
Yeah you should be fine
Clearance isn't an issue there, neither is heat disappation in any meaningful way
GPU will be over the ssd
But you won't need direct access to the ssd normally anyways
And if you do, taking a gpu out is extremely simple
this is my list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qZMYLP the 3060 is gonna be a paint to get
Gl with 3060
Nice case but dang its expensive lol
When are you building?
it’s usually $70
it’s just out of stock rn
Ah gotcha, was gonna say don’t pay that much for it lol
i’m just waiting to get the 3060 and i’ll build my pc
Just keep an eye on the 3600 pricing
yeah
are you trying to get a 30 series card?
I got 3080
nice
Maybe I get a 3000 series due to lack of 2000 series
You just gotta consistently check, stay on top of it, follow update on Twitter and stuff
From where?
i’m in these 2 discord servers that notify me when they restock on 30 series cards
I have the 3070, but would like to eventually get a 3080 when I can
lucky
Do you really need a 3080 then tho
yeah
hey i got a rx 550 with a 1700 and im looking to upgrade the gpu
my budget is $200
around 1070 or 1660 super range
so a 500w?
anything above that yes
if you can get around 250 ish, you might even be able to find some 1080s at that range
oh cool ok ill have to look around for that
should i wait for 3080 ti or just get the 3080
i wouldnt know the cost or the performance for the 3080 ti
if you want you can wait till someone drops benchmarks and decide
Just get the 3080
Thats what I would do
I was able to get a 6800xt. Ik that doesn't rly help much. But itwkrks great and is a good alternative
apparently 3080ti is going to have 20gb be $500 less than the 3090
Oop
thats the prediction
Idk man they are all great cards. Im building my secondary rig with a 3090
whats your secondary rig going to be for?
Sorry. Secondary rig with 6800xt
i prefer nvidia for things like shadowplay and just there control panel
thats my only thing agaisnt amd gpus
My primary is the 3090. The secondary is going to be for fucion360, other 3d printer stuff, and my music recording software(abelton)
G7 32” or AW2721D?
Reason: Bad word usage
Stuff for my layout. Im into model trains and other models as well. So I print stuff for them. Stuff for my bike. I 3d printed a boat once
Ok boomer
well then leave this server no one cares about silly people like you
nice
Thx
clearly
^^
are u allowed to @ mods
@little osprey whats ur point. U dont have to be here if u dont want to. Just leave. U dont have to voice ur opinions on a server full of tech lovers about hating tech
hes just a troll, ignore him
yea its pretty stupid
cringe troll
yes
wish I could @ a Mod rn. Get this joker outta here
@lime forge
Bruh
whats the consequences of doing that?
stop bypassing the filter and get out of here
@warm nova could I please get this man @rain mesa out. Please???
it's okay I got him outta here
sweet
cheers
Thx
Thanks

will i need a fan controller for my new pc. my mobo is a aorus b550 pro ax and i have 3 fans and 2 aio fans?
i think the aio fans are daisychainable tho
I have one. I think you may want one. But not sure???
What brand fans u have?
well to ek aio fans and 3 phanteo fans with the case
phantek*
its my first build im mainly worried about all the psu cables and the aio mounting
well not psu cables just all the diff drgb argb and those cables
but im excited bc im gonna have a r5 5600x
A fan controller is going to kina centralize all of ur fan cables. It may help the cable management problem. Id go corsair just because they are a good brand
aight
I still have my first machine it has a 5500xt in it
B450 aorus elite, 5500 xt, ryzen 5 2600X, team t force delta rgb 16g ddr4 3200, 500gig wd black, stock cooler(ik shun me all u want I didn't have da monae at the time), Thermaltake 500w 80+ bronze, then a rosewill atx case with 4 pre installed argb fans
That’s a pretty good build 2 years ago
And AMD stock coolers have been pretty good for the past couple years
I love that thing still. Works great. Got all the parts under 800 then with windows 64 bit totalled to right around 1000
They've been alright
That's my first build. Im on number 6 now for myself.
Stock cooler okay for stock operation
Especially compared to Intel
True
Wait
Wait?
Their dinky tiny coolers for everything lol
Is your PFP a stretched picture of Linus?
Why is my PFP and my name such a difficult joke to understand lmao
Omg
Oml
I got it
It doesn’t stand out as much until you realize what your PFP is
Im shook

Anyways what GPU should I get for HL:A on an Index? Got a 5700XT right now and it is suffering
Whatever you can get?
Go all in. 6800xt or a 3070, 80, or 90
3060 is already a 2080
How much VRAM does the 3060Ti have?
Yeah
Wow, what happened to me
8 gigs
Only 8 gigs
Yeah that's it
Yeah
Wow. My old 5500xt has 8 gigs
8 gigs is plenty
RX 580 had 8 gigs
True
That card still goes strong
True
8 gigs isn’t a lot for VR gaming, especially with better headsets
My games crash sometimes because they use too much VRAM on an Index
@sage agate I would not recommend a 580 for vr
Especially Pavlov on higher quality maps
Ur gonna need a bare minimum of 8 even for oculus quest using the link cable. Forget about nicer headsets
We were talking about the 580 for something earlier
Ofc not. Im not using it nor do I recommend it
Something else that is
iz good
We were talking about VRAM amounts
And how the 580 had a lot for its time
Then again, Radeon tends to have a decent amount of VRAM. I mean, look at the Big Navi/RDNA2 cards
16 gigs GDDR6
Yeah. I have a bin of parts and idk what to do with it. Sell it. Keep it. Idkkkkk???
Keep it until they are antiques
Or sell the 580 and things like that for 200+ dollars on eBay and get a Quest 2 and try some VR
Great experience
Gonna need a Link Cable and/or WiFi 6 for streaming to your PC with the Quest 2
I have apiece of the apple 1 board
I got a quest two
Oh nice
Mhm.
Got WiFi 6?
Yes sir
Virtual Desktop?
Ok indeed
Give me 2 minutes
Reason: Bad word usage
^^^???^^^
how do i know what bios version comes with my motherboard
What did you say (minus the no no word)
i went into asus but i cant find anything
Should say in the bottom left of the BIOs
What board
the mother is b450
Strix?
Sorry. Subconscious thing. My b. I apologize.
"done"
Never used the board but most asus boards show BIOS version in bottom right of bios is I remember correctly
is there any other option to see
Just open it and search the screen
Or you can download the ASUS Aura software and it should say
You can update it from there too, I believe
Don’t quote me tho
Consider urself not quoted
Did you download virtual desktop?
ima check asus page hold on
Now download VRChat and watch your GPU suffer
Or set up the oculus I guess, although idk how to do that
Yeah
The amount of insanely high poly characters in VRChat I swear
It’s honestly crazy
also
Also?
is it good to have the latest bios
Sure
or just have the one compatible to ur components
Especially if you plan to upgrade CPU
Ok so in the pc I use for ve. I have a massive case. With a custom water cooling system and in every available spot I have a fan. In every single available spot
Vr
Ah
It needs all the help it can get
A newer bios version will not make your board ‘not compatible’ with other parts that it wasn’t already compatible with
A 7710 will work on a B450 regardless of bios version
True
For example
Anyways
Anyways
Idk what to do next. Ive built multiple pcs, have 3d printers, etc... Have a full in home music studio, have a full model train layout.
What now
Build another PC
VR, since you only have a 5600XT
Or was it a 5500?
Or make a tech YouTube channel, and credit me for giving you the idea
2060 is lesser than a 5700XT, which I have, and I suffer in Half Life
But that’s about the only game
5700XT is comparable to a 2060s if I remember correctly
Yeah. I need a vr upgrade. Alright 5700xt maybe coming soon. Unless u have any other redcommendations
What cpu do you have?
Ryzen 9 3900x
Very
64 gigs
Bruh get a 3080 or something idk
2060 is the only thing in that build that is lacking
For VR
True
Bruh. Poggg
Yeh iz right
God damn it is
Holy crap
I’ve been in this jacuzzi browsing discord for nearly an hour
That can’t be healthy
Bruh. Literally there's no problem with that
Fair enough
be me, in my jacuzzi
browsing discord, offering tech advice in various servers, listening to Spotify, thinking about getting harassed for sexuality in CS:GO and Pavlov
realizes it’s almost 11 and I’ve been in here for an hour
holycrap.wav
alright I need to get out now for the sake of my health
And that, Anon, is a very boring story that you just read
There, now it’s actually kinda sentimental
A little bit
I need to get back on topic before i get banned
I’ve already been banned once for being in a flame war with a transphobic POS in #general-chat , I don’t need to be banned again
Anyone know of to fix audio not working in games but in googl
Thats walk. U wearing a headset?
Hear me out, because I had this same problem: did you check the audio device the games are using in Audio Settings?
Try updating audio drivers. Ik that sounds wack. But try it
Check to see, in Control Panel, if the audio devices are allowed to be used exclusively by a single app
And disable other audio devices that aren’t being used
That causes problems too
And it’s 11
True
Off topic again
I’m so happy I could finally know what y’all are talking about half the damn time
Oh dang 7 minutes and that little was said
That being said, that convo I had with my mom was only 7 minutes?
I need to start taking my meds again
Same dog
Although
Ok so remember that Linus video with the super massive case that was like 1 out of 100 or something like that
My friend got one and he doesn't want it anymore. I asked him id I could have it and he said yes
Is this where i can ask questions about troubleshooting my conputer?
Yes
Technically you can ask in any channel on this server but this is the main one
Okay
I got a brand new amd ryzen 7 3700x and upgraded it from my amd ryzen 5 2400g and i installed it onto my tomahawk B450 motherboard and when i booted it up it was working and pulled up windows on only one monitor then went to like a lit up black screen and whenever i start it it goes back to the lit up black screen or a windows troubleshoot screen which does nothing. I tried to replace ram in different slots with different amounts, i tried to take out my motherboard battery, and i tried to put in my old cpu and i had the same issue where it starts up for like 15-20 seconds and i can see my desktop with all my files then goes to a lit up black screen
Oh my
Yeah
Try flashing your bios first I guess
Ive been trying to google stuff and watch videos for like 4 hours now and i have no clue whats wrong
Wait
I
Did you update drivers?
Wow
Graphics drivers that is
Make sure to have driverssss
Can i update drivers from a black screen
What motherboard?
Uhhh
Its my first time installing a cpu sorry if im not knowledgeable
Tomahawk B450 he said
Yes
Tomahawk B450?
How old is it?
Just got a new phone, still got to get used to this keyboard. Sorry for typos
Make sure BIOS is on latest version???
SO you put in the 2400 for a couple days then the 3700x?
boot back into the BIOS and get the BIOS version number please.
Well i upgraded my motherboard from some old one about a week ago and now im upgrading my cpu from my old one
Okay
Wait
Did you do a fresh Windows installation?
Or just pop in the new hardware and go?
Pop it in
Ye
That's your problem
Gonna need another PC and a USB stick most likely
Need to download a program called DDU
EIther install it on your machine or put it on a flash stick
Fresh BIOS? Fresh BIOS.
Boot into Windows Safe mode
And DDU
Run DDU and check ALL THE BOXES, then Clean and restart
Doesn't need a BIOS update
Just DDU and fresh driver installation
Ok
Here you can Download Display Driver Uninstaller, this Display Driver Uninstaller is a driver removal utility that can help you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, with...
It says Graphics drivers but check EVERY BOX, it will remove all the mobo drivers too
Then do a fresh driver installation
Should be fixed after that
Can i do that without seeing the windows page?
No, which is why I said you might need another PC so you can download it to a USB drive
Should be able to get to WIndows 10 Safe Mode though
ON your machine
Okay
If you can't, we can explore other options. The last resort is a nuke and pave or install Windows again on a different drive
Never, ever, just pop new hardware into Windows 10 like that. Gotta uninstall all the old stuff first, then put in new hardware. 🙂
So use the tool you gave above
If you can't get to Windows 10 Safe mode, might have to make a new Windows 10 Installation Media on another PC and use that to get to Safe Mode. This might be a bit rough
My version is also E7C02AMS.3A2 if that even matters at this point
I'll check it 🙂
Also can i uninstall the stuff from the msi click bios 5 menu
Also thanks for all the help
YW. I'm not familiar with the MSI CLick Bios so I can't answer that
BIOS is fine for 3700x though
Okay i will just try to get into safe mode
After you get the DDU program, yes
i have xtm50 thermal paste from corsair is it good or should i buy something else?
It'll be fine
Best ram for Rog strix B550-F and ryzen 7 5800x ?
Do i press clean and restart now?
Yes
After that is done, download all new motherboard drivers and install those first, then the GPU drivers. Don't forget to grab AMD Ryzen master for the CPU and chipset drivers
And i get those on the websites right?
Stand by
Welcome to the MSI Global official site. We are the top Gaming gear provider.
Its doing the black screen again should i not have removed the flash drive?
It looks like hooking it up to the internet goes to black screen
As soon as i hook up the internet it waits like 15 seconds then goes black
Uh so I’m in need for help and I really don’t know what to do with this thing happening
I BUILT MY FIRST PC TODAY 🙂
Can all aRGB run by one software? Or do each companies make their own software that you have to use in order to customise the lights?
Depends on where it's plugged in. Plugged into your motherboard, one software can run it all. Plugged into your AIO, you'll need that software, etc
That's specific to Corsair products.
@raw crane icue is for corsair products, and I think it supports some nvidia fe and asus stuff
So, you'll need the software from your motherboard manufacturer
IE, Asrock, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, etc
👍
Hey vintage how do i check video output on my video card?
It either works with a monitor or doesn't, for the most part
Try a different port if you can
ALmost seems like it's switching outputs
Or shutting itself down
Most of the time that's a driver issue from popping in new hardware and not removing old software/drivers
Especially right after you boot into windows
It also turns off everything in the usb ports when the black screen pops up
And the second monitor doesnt even recognize that its plugged in
But i know its not bricked because i can get into it from the troubleshoot menu in safe mode
I sat there for a while on the ddu program figuring it out but with no internet connected to it
No shutdown
Well it restarts then boots up normally then when i go in and plug in internet it just pulls up black screen
Hmmm
What is the point of having 2 GPU’s?
I will
Does it make graphics better?
One second
SLI? Linus just said “we are getting good SLI utilisation” right when you said that but what is that
I think it was intended for AI stuff
how old is that video?
March 9, 2020
It's good for workstation, IE rendering
Ah
But it's going the way of the dodo bird
The only new card that even offers it is the 3090
maybe the 3080? Can't remember
okay im on safe mode with networking
And it's working?
Hmmm. This is an odd one. Safe mode means the drivers aren't loaded
Yes, install of them
okay
maybe the old one is bad
and idk if its worth mentioning but i had to install the latest bios on a flash drive because i didnt know i had to before installing the new cpu
but this problem with the black was happening before
thats why i had to do it from a flash drive
do i install all of these or only one?
sorry about this being so long btw i am an idiot when it comes to pc's
I'm gonna go ahead and say yes. They are all marked for different purposes and they are all relatively recent. I'd assume you'll want to update em all
Raid only useful if you're running drives in raid
Graphics driver if you have integrated graphics I think
Im gona start building my pc in new year, would it be ok if i change the 3060ti with a 1650 super till like summer because rn 3060ti in my country is like 750$. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x4F3NP
@little osprey dont get that ram
Rmx 850 is over kill
The ram is over priced since the mobo cant even suppor 3200
For 3200 cl14
Is over kill
It supports 3000
I just put in the stuff im gona have in the build from random stores
That ram in my country is 100$.
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro White 16GB [2x8GB 3000MHz DDR4 CL15 1.35V DIMM]
@little leaf is this ram better ^^^ its a bit cheaper in my country.
It dosent, 3000mhz is for i7/i9
Bud
Do you realise that case is meant specifically for custom loops?
And it comes with 0 fans?
and you have 0 fans included?
And your ram will be limited to 2666mhz?
So ur not planning on taking anything except intel stock?
Im looking for a white cooler. And later upgrade to a aio
And im gona use fans
If thats what u meant
Ok O11D is still not a good choice
Corsair 4000d?
I am about to adventure into the world of PC monitor display in my case. Using an IPS 5in panel so I can see it from more extreme angles
is there any advantage of getting a pcie wifi connector vs a long ethernet cable?
Anyone know of a site that does a mock-up of what a custom desktop would look like? Like I choose what parts I want and it makes a digital render of what it'd look like
pc building simulator
There really isn't one
Dang
Ok, so I was scanning the build pics and I see a lot of front mounted radiators with the tubes up top. I thought it was universally agreed upon that tubes went to the bottom. Am I wrong?
Asking, because I am about to put one in and for spacing, it would be great to have tubes up top, as bottom oriented will be tight.
no, you're right
Tubes on the bottom
honestly, top mount AIO best, keeps the pump flooded
Ideally, but not possible for me. custom enclosure, top will be a lid
u want bottom even if its tite
owo
Awesome. Thanks for confirming.
Just be vigilant with temps. Tubes up top can lead to issues down the road.
I seriously considered trying the diy hack of replacing my AIO tubing with longer ones...but seemed wrong since its brand new
was thinking longer, same diameter
Same diameter would be fine but refilling AIO's is honestly a PITA
Yeah, the video's made it look pretty annoying
Cuz it is 😉
submerge and everything. Would be nice to be able to route the tubing better, but probably not worth the hassle
not with an AIO, no
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PFQh2V Thats what I'm working with. Hopefully can find a GPU sometime 😐
the PSU is actually the new enermax Marblebron 550w one from Newegg, but its not showing on partpicker
Strange ram
Was on sale when I ordered it.
i like SP
have heard good things about them and have used their ssds before for some project boxes
Say I’m getting a 3080 but I only have a 650w. Is it absolutely necessary that I upgrade?
What cpu
Can someone help me? I’m building a pc for my friend right now. The motherboard receives powers as seen by the led lights on the board, however no matter how much I try the front panel connector area doesn’t work, I’ve tried to plug them in and hit power. I’ve tried starting it using a screwdriver. When the PSU is turned on the MOBO lights up but fans don’t spin on the front panel, the gpu or the AIO. What do I do?
I basically can't get the system to boot, the motherboard gets power and everything but nothing else seems too.
@tame copper o am guessing you have plugged in all the psu cables
Should I just restart? Take everything apart and putting it all back together?
Anyone know where I can get replacement fans for my video card?
I have the GV-N970WF3OC-4GD
And the frount panel connectors
Yep, 24 pin for MOBO, CPU power, GPU, fans as well.
So you get fan spin
Make sure the frount panel connectors are in right
Yep, I also tried to boot it with a screwdriver by grounding it.
Does your mother board have led read outs of where it is going wrong
Display port or hdmi is plugged into gpu right?
I take it from your setup your a evil hero? @rocky wadi
And monitor is on?
Hmm
Here lemme get some pictures.
I guess lol
One second.
Does your cpu have integrated graphics
Cpu power is plugged in?
Is your psu switch on
Is cpu power plugged in?
When I turn on the PSU the mobo lights up
I am not sure
but when i hit the power button on the front nothing happnes.
can anyone help me idfentify replacement fans for a graphics card?
Could Anyone send me a link for a budget graphics card
Rule 9
Yeah
I’m not asking for one
Depends on budget
I just want a link to one
200 and under CAD
Iirc 1650 super msrp should be around 200 cad
Alright I check it out
@violet crown id get the crg5
@violet crown what size do you currently have?
Reason: Bad word usage
A 32in panel plus another 2 monitors seems pretty damn big
Or an lg 27gl850
Basic stuff from the 90s
Hm okay
I hear 34" makes some games look wonky as well as pixels won't look better.... so I figured a 27" is good but im unsure if that can fit 2 tabs with no issues
i imagine i have a 22" currently
I use 27 inch its fine
Depends on resolution really
Also the graphics card that comes China is it good?
You can get 2 monitors or a ultrawide
I just want to know
Hell no
Alright
For 16:9, non-ultrawide,
24in is best for 1080p, 27in for 1440p, and 32in for 2560p
Cuase there’s one on newegg website

that feeling you get when someone scores a 3060 and has to ask about installing it
