It's slightly faster base and boost clocks

verbal quarry
#

the 3800x?

muted patio
#

IMO, not worth the extra money over the 3700x

#

Ye

wanton cliff
verbal quarry
#

huh ok

#

i dont plan on oc either

muted patio
#

It's not much though, 200 mhz or so

verbal quarry
#

idk how to do that stuff xD

hollow grail
#

Tfw i just lost 128gb of ddr4

muted patio
#

Honestly AMD auto overclocks so well, don't really need to manually overclock it anyway

hollow grail
#

Where go

wanton cliff
hollow grail
stoic island
#

3800x is literally a 3700x imo

muted patio
#

It is

hollow grail
#

Forgot where i put it

muted patio
#

It's upclocked, that's it

stoic island
#

(Even bin wise)

verbal quarry
#

oh wow

stoic island
#

My 3800x bin sucks

wanton cliff
#

Lmao

muted patio
#

I mean, grab whatever combo you can get

#

Either will be just fine

wanton cliff
#

TFW you misplace $500 in DIMMs

hollow grail
#

More

wanton cliff
#

How much?

hollow grail
#

Like 800

muted patio
#

Knowing lili, probably ECC server ram, $1k lol

wanton cliff
#

Yeah probably

verbal quarry

That’s a lot of RAM

verbal quarry
#

yea it is

wanton cliff
#

Lili are you excited for DDR5 in a year or two?

verbal quarry
#

will the b550 boards be able to take ddr5?

muted patio
#

No

verbal quarry
#

dang it

muted patio
#

Will require new motherboards and CPU's

verbal quarry
#

good lord

muted patio
#

Honestly it probably won't hit consumers until early 2022

#

Maybe very late 2021 if we lucky

wanton cliff
#

Am5 will likely be the DDR5 cpus

verbal quarry
#

i got sometime then

muted patio
#

For sure

#

Which is why I'm not upgrading my 3700x 😉

verbal quarry
#

i dont blame you

#

dang the crucial ballistix ram i wanted isnt on sale anymore

muted patio
#

A lot of it is out of stock

verbal quarry
#

yea

muted patio
#

There's some red RGB stuff still in stock, $85

verbal quarry
#

the 32gb was on sale and price matched my trident z i have picked

#

the 4400

muted patio
#

Um

hollow grail
#

EYYYYY

muted patio
#

Too fast to be useful

wanton cliff
#

I can’t wait for DDR5

hollow grail
muted patio
#

3600 all ya need

hollow grail
#

Wait this is 64gb

#

Nvm

#

Cool that i have that tho

wanton cliff
#

Holy crap lili

verbal quarry
#

ik but it wouldve been a nice flex lol

muted patio
#

It would have run at 3600 though lol

#

XD

verbal quarry
#

xD

wanton cliff
#

What CPU you gonna pair with that?

#

A Xeon or threadripper?

#

I assume this is server memory

hollow grail
#

Hoping tr

#

If not xeon

verbal quarry
#

tempting

#

i was looking for 32gb tho

muted patio
#

-_-

stoic island
#

32gb per stick?

muted patio
#

That is 32 gb

#

XD

hollow grail
#

YESSSSS

#

THE BABEYS

muted patio
#

Ooh, Samsung

hollow grail
#

Huh

#

Racer do u think

muted patio

bad for brain

hollow grail

Or 64gb 3600

#

For threadripper

muted patio
#

3600

wanton cliff

#

AMD eats up fast ram

wanton cliff
#

AMD loves it

hollow grail
#

Yep

wanton cliff
#

Especially Ryzen

hollow grail
#

Rn its 2666

muted patio
#

match FCLK

#

Best way

wanton cliff
#

So you are setting up a home server lili?

Is that a TRX40 board?

verbal quarry
wanton cliff
#

Yeah it’s 32gb per stick

hollow grail
#

Yea

little osprey
#

What have I walked into?

wanton cliff
#

lili upgrading Allison

little osprey
#

Cool

wanton cliff
#

Wait

little osprey
#

Wat

wanton cliff
#

April

#

Hold on

little osprey
#

Ye?

#

Am holding

#

Don’t let me fall

#

Lol

wanton cliff
#

Oop Nevermind

little osprey
#

Oki

#

Wat was it?

#

Where would I go for help

#

For what specifically

wanton cliff
#

Here

little osprey
#

Or just like a whole system

#

Because then yeah here

wanton cliff
#

Well, really anything

#

Computer related

little osprey
#

Yeah

#

Well I'm currently building a clue i have everything but a gpu

#

And it wont even boot

#

Nothing turns on

wanton cliff
#

Define ‘it won’t boot’

#

Does the computer turn on?

little osprey
#

No

wanton cliff
#

Check 2 things

little osprey
#

Is everything plugged in correctly?

wanton cliff
#

A: pins in bottom right of mobo

B: that your RAM is seated correctly

little osprey
#

Yes

jagged ember
#

pins in bottom right?

frigid zinc
#

do rams still work on dual channel even if theyre 1x8 x2

jagged ember
#

you mean front panel connections?

wanton cliff
#

Yeah those

#

Forgot terminology

jagged ember
#

right, that's a common mistake

#

pin polarity gets messed up all the time lol

wanton cliff
#

I’ve built like 20 computers and I still mess those up, even with manual open

jagged ember
#

i agree with the aformentioned troubleshooting steps

little osprey
#

Can I send a picture into this chat?

jagged ember
#

you can i think

wanton cliff
#

Yes

jagged ember
#

try

little osprey
#

Yes

#

WIDEUS

wanton cliff
#

Wait wideus

little osprey
#

I love that name

#

And pfp

#

XD

jagged ember
#

thank

#

i have grown in power

wanton cliff
#

I noticed it yesterday

little osprey
#

Yes

wanton cliff
#

Damn autocorrect

jagged ember
#

my powers have doubled since the last time we met

little osprey
#

Lol

jagged ember
#

should have gone with that in the first place lol

little osprey
jagged ember
#

confusing orientation

little osprey
#

Yeah

wanton cliff
#

I don’t even see the front panel connections

little osprey
#

here take a pic of the whole thing

jagged ember
#

that is a pic of the whole motherboard

little osprey
#

The front panel is in the bottom left

#

Its run through the back

wanton cliff
#

That doesn’t look like all of it

little osprey
#

It has three coords

#

USB HD audio and front panel

wanton cliff
#

Usually there are 5

jagged ember
little osprey
#

Ooo

#

The usb are connected as one

jagged ember
#

you remember looking at this from the manual, right?

wanton cliff
#

Ah

jagged ember
#

your front panel connections are labeled as the pins called 'JFP1'

#

colors may vary

little osprey
#

need some help looking for a cable, its from a fan hub to my MB, pulled the wires from the connector....anyone know what this cable would be called?

jagged ember
#

rip

little osprey
#

Its labeled as jusb3

#

F panel

jagged ember
#

okay, that's not for front panel lol

#

this pic is directly from your mobo manual

#

z390a pro

little osprey
#

Yeah

jagged ember
#

yep, i'm looking at the right manual lol

#

front panel pins are labeled jfp1

#

usb pins are for usb

#

JFP1 is located near the bottom right of the motherboard in this orientation

#

JUSB3 i see is above the sata ports

verbal quarry
#

whats the aio that allows you to put you own images on screen?

little osprey
#

Thanks for the help

#

The front panel was plugged into a fan slot

jagged ember
#

ah

#

that's not what you want

little osprey
#

It boots now

jagged ember
#

ayyyy

little osprey
#

Thanks so much

jagged ember
#

you're welcome!

#

least we could do

#

one day, i swear front panel connections won't be confusing as hell

little osprey
#

One day

balmy onyx
#

I need help

#

I plugged everything jnto my pc but idk if i did it right because it wont turn on

austere condor
#

turn the power on to the PSU

#

little switch on the back

balmy onyx
#

Can someone call so i could show them because i am stoop

jagged ember
#

try what demon said first

balmy onyx
#

Or go into chat

#

Idk where it iss

jagged ember
#

did you build your pc?

balmy onyx
#

Yeah

jagged ember
#

okay, so you know where the PSU is located then right?

balmy onyx
#

No

jagged ember
#

they should really call it a juice box, just saying

#

power supply?

balmy onyx
#

Oh

#

Yeah

jagged ember
#

yeah okay

#

the switch on the back

#

is that flipped on?

balmy onyx
#

Yes

#

And i hit the power button

jagged ember
#

okay

#

what components do you have?

balmy onyx
#

Im in general because imma just show you

jagged ember
#

as a picture?

#

you can only do that here

hollow grail

Lol

balmy onyx
hollow grail
ebon pewter
#

On board graphics?

jagged ember
#

oh god it's outside the case

#

it's fine

balmy onyx
#

Im gonna put it in once it turns on

jagged ember
#

just scary

#

i like having all things inside lol

balmy onyx
#

Idk if i put in these right

jagged ember
#

okay

#

what parts are inside

balmy onyx
old musk
balmy onyx
jagged ember
#

i'm gonna need to know at least your mobo lol

balmy onyx
#

Idk if i got it wrong

old musk
#

Mine?

#

@jagged ember

jagged ember
#

no, lines'

old musk
#

Ok

balmy onyx
#

Whats mobo

jagged ember
#

motherboard

#

quixzy looks like a sata power cable

balmy onyx
#

Oh

jagged ember
#

thank

#

intel, i see

#

you're plugged front panel pins into jfp1 right

balmy onyx
#

Jrgb1?

jagged ember
#

JFP1

#

FP stands for front panel

#

don't quote me on that tho

balmy onyx
#

No

#

I see now

little osprey
#

Oop

ebon pewter
#

Wideus can I ask you a quick question when your done helping line

jagged ember
#

sure

#

yeah, plug into jfp1

#

next to jusb 2

jagged ember
balmy onyx
#

Thank you so much

#

I feel kinda stoopid

jagged ember
#

hey, it's alright

#

its a really common mistake

ebon pewter
#

What wattage psu do u think I would need for a ryzen 5 3600 and Rx 5600xt build

jagged ember
#

stupid front panel pins

ebon pewter
#

Not planning to upgrade in the near future

jagged ember
#

right

#

but will you upgrade in the far future lmao

ebon pewter
#

Not for like atleast 4 years hopefully if it lasts that long

jagged ember
#

500W should handle that just fine

ebon pewter
#

Fingers crossed

jagged ember
#

but going higher won't hurt, obviously

ebon pewter
#

Ok originally i was gonna go with 650w but I saw a amazing deal on a 600w 80+ bronze

#

From EVGA

jagged ember
#

what model?

ebon pewter
#

Ohhhhhh

#

U right

jagged ember
#

evga has some crappy psus in their product line lol

ebon pewter
#

Is 600w bronze 80+ bd

jagged ember
#

like the EVGA N1 or N2, for example

ebon pewter
#

Br

jagged ember
#

BR, right?

ebon pewter
#

Yep

jagged ember
#

hmm, i dunno

#

that's a tier c psu

#

cheap mid-low end systems

ebon pewter
#

Oh ok I'm pretty flexible with the psu

jagged ember
#

not always 100% accurate, but what most people rely on

ebon pewter
#

Oh ok

#

K most my parts everything is good, I just didn't know about the psu.

#

Thanks for the help I'll use that list and look around

red sage
#

so i am getting a mobo with a 4 pin and and 8 pin connector and my power supply came with 2 4 pins for the cpu should i just buy another cable for the power supply

muted patio
#

No. Use two 4 pins in the 8 pin.

hollow grail
#

Lmao actually using this chat i guess

#

New kit of ram refuses to run at 3600mhz

#

Trying to do anything just bootloops the system

tough kettle
little osprey
#

My Ryzen 5 3600 gets 50-60% utilization on battlefront II multiplayer with 2060 super (99% utilization) is that alright

tough kettle
#

Double forward topology, low tier/quality capacitors and cheap fan bearing, 30c temperature rating and no in-depth teardown reviews, protections have not been tested either

#

If ur in us then look at Segotep GPG

#

Or CXF, CX, Xilence performance X and along those lines

hollow grail
#

Refusing to boot above 1866mhz

swift stump
#

Is it ok to have only intake fans be from my AIO? Tried to have it too mounted as exhaust but mobo  capacitor blocked it

muted patio
#

Should be fine.

hollow grail
#

Vintage fix it

muted patio
#

What proc?

#

And what ram exactly?

wanton cliff
#

Any of y’all seen anyone who has actually been buying from scalpers?

verbal quarry
#

yea i got a buddy who did

#

spent the same amount of a 3090 for a 3070

wanton cliff
#

Wtf

#

That’s absurd

verbal quarry
#

yea its sad

wanton cliff
#

Just buy a 2080Ti at that point lol

verbal quarry
#

yea lol

wanton cliff
#

You’d be spending $500 less

verbal quarry
#

ikr

wanton cliff
#

Nothing to talk about here

#

Just have to wait for someone to come along so I can help with troubleshooting or build advice or something

verbal quarry
#

well here

#

thoughts?

wanton cliff
#

Same question as always: budget and use?

verbal quarry
#

gaming and 1300

#

things are over budget rn so its clearly not a 1300 build

wanton cliff
#

Yeah

#

I’ve never used a Rosewill case, but it looks good otherwise

#

No complaints from me

muted patio
#

It's fine, better than NZXT XD

wanton cliff
#

Lmao yeah

#

H510i vs P300?

verbal quarry
#

the rosewill cases are pretty nice from what ive seen

hollow grail
#

true

verbal quarry
#

easy on cable management

#

airflow could be better tho

#

i like how they put the front case airflow on the side

#

so then you can have a solid front

next kestrel
#

would this be decent for replacing intel stock cooler on something like a i3 7100

fossil halo
#

looks sus

verbal quarry
#

no idea

#

i dont do intel

fossil halo
#

me neither

#

i think that

next kestrel
#

the title is funny tho

fossil halo
#

cooler master has a cheap air cooler

next kestrel
#

JUNO PRO RBW, a CPU cooler is designed and incorporates a series of evolutionary changes to improve performance, delivers greatly performance , Rainbow LED’s, a 120mm performing fan, easy installation

fossil halo
#

LOL ikr

next kestrel
#

yea but is it 12$?

fossil halo
#

tru

#

thats what i was gonna say lmao

#

look on yt

next kestrel
#

for an i3?

#

7100?

muted patio
#

I mean, what you picked is literally no better than stock. UNless that's what you're going for.

next kestrel
#

yea i just wanted less noise/better looks

#

but the cooler is there for a bit cheaper

muted patio
#

I mean, I wouldn't trust the fan on that $12 cooler to last long

#

At least with the GAMMAX it's easily replaceable standard size fan.

next kestrel
#

ok

muted patio
#

Up to you though. The other one will work

#

I guess if the fan craps out it's almost cheaper than a new fan anyway yeah?

#

Any color preference or RGB?

#

I found this one too but it looks like blue only

mossy plaza
#

this case looks good but also bad xd

fossil halo
#

ew tf

#

24.99 tho

mossy plaza
#

yea

fossil halo
#

lmao i think u should just save for now

#

and go caseless

#

desk pc intensifies

tardy ridge
#

Cardboard box setup

mossy plaza
#

those are actually pretty cool though

tardy ridge
#

They're pretty neat, thermals tho 👀

mossy plaza
#

..

#

what if you dont have a top on 🤨

tardy ridge
#

They'd ask you to leave the store

mossy plaza
#

..

#

wait

#

no

#

yes

#

but no

#

a top on ur case

tardy ridge
#

It'd be better for sure, thermals probably wouldn't be too bad

mossy plaza
#

neat

tardy ridge
#

Reminds me of the world's smallest gaming setup

mossy plaza
#

oh cool

#

how tiny tho

tardy ridge
#

The monitor was something like less than an inch and the actual PC itself was like, maybe palm-sized?

#

Had RGB tho

mossy plaza
#

daaang

#

he pimped it out

#

im probably gonna buy this for my pc build tomorrow

tardy ridge
#

Good and cheap, wow

#

I should get one, been looking for a bootup drive

mossy plaza
#

yea

#

I had help from the server around a couple weeks ago to build a full setup that I'm tryna buy and put all together

tardy ridge
#

Nice, what'd you go with

mossy plaza
#

alll that

#

I already have the seagate and the g.skill

muted sluice
# mossy plaza

That nvme doesn’t look like the best bang for the buck

muted sluice
#

Get the evo 970 same price and faster

tardy ridge
#

That's a solid build, but I'd still opt for a 750W PSU

#

Future-proof

#

Nearly same price range

mossy plaza
#

yea I remember picking that out and vintage and a couple others said it doesnt have Dram

muted sluice
#

Yea a 750 is the sweet spot with that build

mossy plaza
#

hmm alright

#

lemme find a better one

tardy ridge
#

I dunno how good this is as I've never heard of this brand but

muted patio
#

only if you plan to upgrade to a 3080 tier down the road......

tardy ridge
#

15% off too

#

No reason not to tho imo

muted patio
#

You really wanna trust that nice hardware to an unknown power source?

mossy plaza
mossy plaza
#

thats the psu I found

tardy ridge
#

$85

#

Cooler Master PSU

#

That's decent

mossy plaza
#

oh dang

#

I guess I'll pop that in my list

tardy ridge
#

I haven't done any research on these tho so take them with a grain of salt, but reviews and everything seem fair

mossy plaza
#

hm

tardy ridge
#

Plus I trust CM as name-brand

mossy plaza
#

yea same

muted patio
#

Model > brand

tardy ridge
#

The model has good reviews

muted patio
#

Reviews honestly don't mean much without actual power testing, IE ripple, transients, etc

tardy ridge
#

Fair enough, but either way some slight future-proofing for a few more dollars wouldn't hurt

muted patio
#

FOr another $10 you can get a better PSU

#

Corsair CX750

mossy plaza
#

hm

tardy ridge
#

Yeah that's a good one, I love my CX

muted patio
#

This list has a good Tier rating for a LOT of power supplies

hollow grail
#

so sad

tardy ridge
#

Guessing Tom's HW

muted patio
#

Both of those are Tier C for Cheap/low end systems while the CX is Tier B for another $10

tardy ridge
#

I was off

hollow grail
#

guess i cant use that ram fully

#

in my sys

#

oh well

muted patio
#

No, not the M

mossy plaza
#

hm

hollow grail
#

2933 works fine

#

time to get to 4.5ghz now

muted patio
#

That list isn't an end all be all BUT it's a really good reference

muted patio
#

I linked you one above from Newegg

#

Yeah, that's the one

mossy plaza
#

ah alright

#

thanks tho

muted patio
#

YW

#

But

mossy plaza
#

now it should be fool proof

muted patio
#

Are you planning to upgrade to a 3080 grade 4K or anything down the road?

mossy plaza
#

nah

#

well maybe a new cpu

#

but thats it

muted patio
#

And you want a 3060TI yes?

mossy plaza
#

yea

muted patio
#

K, I mean, you can save $10 then and get the 650 but the 750 won't hurt

mossy plaza
#

...

#

alright

muted patio
#

CPU's don't draw much pwer

tardy ridge
#

Either way works

mossy plaza
#

uh

muted patio
#

You can upgrade your CPU without going to a beefier PSU

#

I mean, it's only going to be 10W or so

mossy plaza
#

I'll just keep it in incase I want to upgrade the gpu or somethin

muted patio
#

650W is good up to a 3070 tier card

tardy ridge
#

Then that 100W bump happens

muted patio
#

Future proofing is nice only when you plan on going bigger the next time around.

mossy plaza
#

hm

muted patio
#

I've been sitting on a 700W PSU for about 5 years now, it'll be handy for the 3070 I get someday lol

mossy plaza
#

I'd only go bigger if better games come out

muted patio
#

Mmm

#

Or higher resolution

mossy plaza
#

nahhh

#

I'm alright with bad resolution

#

maybe

tardy ridge
#

If you decide not to go with a 750W you could devote that extra to a better M.2

muted patio
#

I mean, the GPU power draws have stayed pretty level for quite a few years now

#

The Teamgroup is honestly fine

desert gulch
#

vintage you have a slickdeals acc?

muted patio
#

There is no OS or game loading time difference between SSD and NVME, just FYI

#

SLickdeals?

#

I don't

desert gulch
#

saw someone comment on a ssd post with your pfp

mossy plaza
#

nah ima go with the 750W

desert gulch
#

even tho im assuming you stole that pfp

muted patio
#

That's me bro

mossy plaza
#

lol

muted patio
#

LIterally, that's me on my racebike

#

DM PLS

mossy plaza
#

nice

desert gulch
#

ok

muted patio
#

The link, if you could

mossy plaza
#

do you race for cash or just for fun?

desert gulch
#

yeah one sec

muted patio
#

Appreciate you

desert gulch
#

oh ok

#

slightly slightly different lol

#

look in comments

#

very very similar tho

muted patio
#

Oh LOL! Yea, that's different

#

Simliar though for sure

#

Appreciate the looking out!

desert gulch
#

yeah didnt directly compare til now xD

muted patio
#

No worries, thanks for thinking of me

desert gulch
#

yeah lol woulda made sense for you to comment on that post tho

#

yup np

muted patio
#

Yeah, those are good drives

#

Them, Sabrent, Samsung, all battling it out right now

desert gulch
#

yup

#

mp34 just sitting back there

#

i got a sn750

#

when it was $62

#

mega good deal since we got good cashback on cc too

muted patio
#

MP34 isn't bad

#

And honestly no one is going to notice the speed difference

#

Not for gamers or everyday users

#

Biggest thing is TLC over QLC. QLC is poop

desert gulch
#

yeah\

#

still sn750 and 970 evo are better than mp34

#

especially for their price rn

#

theyre both on sale

muted patio
#

the 1 TB market, mmm,

#

500 GB market is hot right now

desert gulch
#

yeah

muted patio
#

I really like the Sabrent 1 TB drives

u bust that screenshot out almost as much as i bust out my cdn's speedtest results keeeek

muted patio

They beat their advertised speeds

#

Of course I'm gonna use it

hollow grail

well heres my speed flex keeeek

That and my WiFi speed pic everytime someone says WiFi sucks

hey building my PC and it keeps turning on and off after like a minute or two, I havent finished the build but pretty sure it shouldnt be doing that

hollow grail
#

technically that server is wired

muted patio
#

It will actually do that a couple time TBH

#

It's the BIOS reading and setting the ram

brittle ore
#

I mean the build isnt done I dont have a screen on it so I cant tell whats up but Im just turning on the power fully

muted patio
#

Just let it go until you either get the BIOS screen or an error LED light

brittle ore
#

its happened like 5 times

muted patio
#

Well

#

hook a screen to it

#

XD

brittle ore
#

no GPU yet lmao

muted patio
#

No error lights on the MB though?

brittle ore
#

will have to tomorrow

muted patio
#

well no wonder!!

#

No GPU = wonkiness

brittle ore
#

lmfaoo I didnt know it would shut itself off tho

hollow grail
brittle ore
#

word okay Ill try tomorrow, 😆

#

@muted patio im also so upset i cant use my hypervisor on this config

verbal quarry
#

which ones better? Rog x570-e or the b550-f?

muted patio
#

B550F will do everything you need

verbal quarry
#

and the x570?

muted patio
#

Honestly only good for bragging rights

#

That's more for overclockers and system pushers

verbal quarry
#

oh ok'

muted patio
#

For you running the 3700x/3800x the B550 will do everything you need and the X570 will do

verbal quarry
#

yea i dont plan on oc anything

muted patio
#

The only X570 I'd consider in that case would be the TUF Gaming WiFi

#

Not much bling (RGB) but features comparable to and better than $250 boards

verbal quarry
#

alright

#

i was looking at a 3700x/x570-e bundle

muted patio
#

Ahhh, you don't need $300 mobo for that cpu

verbal quarry
#

its more expensive but i was wondering if it was worth it

muted patio
#

Nah

verbal quarry
#

then ill keep doing the 3800x/b550-f bundle

muted patio
#

👍

verbal quarry
#

if you ever find a 3700x/b550-f bundle ping me

muted patio
#

FO sho!

#

You're not near a Microcenter right?

verbal quarry
#

im near the one in Columbus OH

muted patio
#

$469

verbal quarry
#

brooooo

#

you're awesome

muted patio
#

❤️

verbal quarry
#

hopefully this is still in stock when i can afford it

muted patio
#

Man, if you live near a Microcenter, why you buying stuff online?

#

They are THE brick and mortar to buy from

#

Like, online prices or better

verbal quarry
#

ill have to keep using it then

#

dont they have a clearance center as well?

muted patio
#

I honestly don't know

#

Nearest one to me is 20 hours away

#

😦

verbal quarry
#

aw 😦

frigid zinc
#

do rams still work on dual channel if i have 1x8 but 2 rams

#

aka not having a kit

verbal quarry
#

uh i believe so

muted patio
#

wait, 1 stick of ram?

next kestrel
#

i think he means 2 different sticks

muted patio
#

Yeah, need clarification

#

Might mean dual rank also

#

IE, chips on both sides

next kestrel
#

i mean he said 2 rams

muted patio
#

Right but also 1x8

#

🤷

next kestrel
#

true

muted patio
#

I have learned that what people say vs what it actually is can vary wildly

verbal quarry
#

true

muted patio
#

I mean, I've seen pictures that aren't even close to what they said

#

Like a CMOS battery then in the corner the M.2 is just floating in the breeze not screwed down and that's why it wouldn't boot

#

Even though they said the M.2 was installed

verbal quarry
#

they did install it

#

just not properly

muted patio
#

Mmhmmm

next kestrel
#

is it plausible to tape an m.2 drive down

#

or am i stupid

muted patio
#

I mean, until the tape lets go

verbal quarry
#

electric tape yes

muted patio
#

Which it probably will because the sticky will get hot and zoop! Let go

next kestrel
#

oh

muted patio
#

So, long story short

next kestrel
#

i never seem to have enough m.2 screws lmao

muted patio
#

I've disassemble hard drives to get M.2 screws

verbal quarry
#

more tape

#

add more stick

next kestrel
#

m.2 screws are in HDDs?

#

ima disassemble a couple dead ones tmr lol

muted patio
#

Not all of em

#

I had 3 HDD's

#

Only one with the right screw

next kestrel
#

ah ok, worth a try tho

even added 32 gigs because so much budget was left over

pastel barn

hmmm

half dew
#

@tough kettle A higher efficiency means less heat output and more " efficient " power draw.

tough kettle
#

I know what it means

#

and do you know how much of a heat output would it actually improve?

#

non-noticeable that's what

#

and "efficient" power draw

#

do you know what that will do

half dew
#

idk i just dont see the need in a rgb psu

tough kettle

knock a couple of bucks off of the bill

it's just a good psu that happens to have RGB

Should I get an i5 10th gen or a ryzen 5 3600 for a 800$ budget

I got the i5 10th generation and am happy w/ it since it’s cheaper than the ryzen rn

#

Considering getting mobo + cpu

Depends on if the model you're getting is cheaper than 3600

Chances are it is

brute force it out

It SHOULD work but will run at the slowest speed and timings of the two sticks

@upper cobalt how did you stab your Ram???

little osprey
#

@muted patio in your opinion though do you think 3700x can see another 3 years or so of use?

muted patio

3 years might be pushing it a bit but yes

if you're not trying to do bleeding edge things

Hey I got a problem I’m trying to replace my mobo and when I too off my cpu the cooler won’t budge and a flake of dry thermal paste got on the pins

Could I use a sewing needle maybe

hollow grail
muted patio
#

Mmm.....if it were me, I'd be using 90%+ Isopropyl alcohol and a super soft bristle brush. Alcohol will break it down

#

Be very gentle and you won't bend pins. No pressure, just movement

stoic finch
#

I don’t have 90%

#

I have 70%

muted patio
#

Get some 90%

#

70% has too much water and impurities

stoic finch

muted patio
#

Any drug store will have it

#

Pharmacy, grocery store, etc

stoic finch
#

K

#

Hope they do bc I don’t have the money for a new 2700x

hollow grail
#

99% the only way

#

tbh

muted patio
#

Not gonna get 99% in a store. 90% fine.

stoic finch
#

In the corner w the arrow

muted patio
#

next time, load up the CPU and get it warm before you try and remove it

#

Softens up the paste

#

Alcohol + soft brush is your friend here

stoic finch
#

Would I soft unused paintbrush work or something

muted patio
#

The smaller the better

stoic finch

#

This should be good right it has been used a long long time ago tho

muted patio
#

Yeah

stoic finch
muted patio
#

Yes

stoic finch
#

Thank you so much

muted patio
#

YW

stoic finch
#

There actually might be a bigger problem the pins are very slightly bent but u can’t even see it on camera

muted patio
#

Yeah, not surprised

#

but don't worry about it

#

It'll socket fine

stoic finch

They should fall back into place when they go into the socket right

muted patio

As long as you're careful

It's fine

now the fun part

Gotta get that CPU separated from the cooler

stoic finch

Could I use a flat head screw driver to pry the cooler and cpu apart

muted patio
#

INtegrated graphics if it's just an office PC

#

No, do NOT use a screwdriver

#

Need a very flat tool like a drywall putty knife

stoic finch
#

K

muted patio
#

Orion X 8 pack....

#

oof

hollow grail
#

most will not need cuda

#

so

cunning sundial
#

@stoic finch If it's not time sensitive you can get specific solvents for thermal paste and work at it bit by bit along with a flat tool. The main concern is using too much force and damaging the cpu.

hollow grail
muted patio
#

that's what I told him to do

#

Sounds like paste is hard though

stoic finch
#

Yeah it is on there good

#

I didn’t turn the pc on at all today

#

So it it completely hard

muted patio
#

You used thermal PASTE and not GLUE, right? It's still semi soft?

verbal quarry
#

...

muted patio

I've seen it before lol. Not pretty

how would you get it off if its glue?

cool are we building with a case?

@stoic island could i have ur $600 build list?

verbal quarry
#

i need to save them too ya know

tender fjord
#

is 650watt enough

muted patio
#

OH yes

tender fjord
#

does the case provide good airflow

muted patio
#

Yes

tender fjord
#

is the saberant rocket better than the 970 evo

muted patio
#

For the money, yes

#

I have two of them

tender fjord
#

Note:The video card PCI-Express 12-pin power connector adapter is being supplied by two 6+2-pin power connectors. Please ensure that the 6+2-pin power connectors are not daisy-chained and do not share the same power cable.
is this something I have to worry about

muted patio
#

No

small osprey
#

No

tender fjord
#

are the dimensions ok

muted patio
#

Define dimensions

small osprey
#

U just need 2 separate 8 pin connectors

tender fjord
#

Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.

muted patio
#

Don't pay attention to the warnings at the bottom

#

it's 100% just fine

tender fjord
#

alright

muted patio
#

Leaves some room to add a larger HDD for storage if you want to

small osprey
#

Its fine ur just using stock cooler no ram clearance problems

muted patio
#

Or RGB or something

tender fjord
#

isn't the stock cooler for the ryzen 5 5600x loud?

muted patio
#

No

tender fjord
#

so I don't have to worry about the noise

muted patio
#

not unless you're going for a completely silent build

#

It's no louder than the case fans

small osprey
#

U can always turn fan speed down

tender fjord
#

the hyperx cooler that everyone talks about is much more silent right?

muted patio
#

The Hyper 212?

#

OOF

tender fjord
#

yeah

muted patio
#

I wouldn't call it more quiet

#

I had one, it's meh

tender fjord
#

is the cooling better

small osprey
#

Its more money for not that better perf

muted patio
#

Yeah

hollow grail
#

hyper 212 not worth over stock

muted patio
#

Nope

hollow grail
#

if u want a quiet cooler that doesnt look like ass get be quiet

#

if u want a quiet cooler get noctua

muted patio
#

Spendy though

hollow grail
#

quiet isnt cheap

small osprey
tender fjord
#

is the ryzen 5 5600 non x version 70 dollars cheaper?

small osprey
#

There is no non x version yet

tender fjord
#

I heard about it

muted patio
#

It's a rumor

#

Nothing confirmed

#

Not released

verbal quarry
#

a dream

hollow grail
#

imo still doesnt look the greatest

#

but noctua isnt abt looks

small osprey
#

Be quiet is a big black box imo

#

If u want looks get an aio

tender fjord
#

the noctua is 100 bucks more

muted patio
#

Yeah

verbal quarry
#

vintage i found a seasonic gold psu for that price on the build you sent

small osprey
#

Yea but the cooling is a lot better

muted patio
#

Which gold?

tender fjord
#

Ig I'll stick witht the stock

small osprey
#

Yea uh that psu kinda bad

muted patio
#

The regular CX?

#

No, the CXM's are bad

#

CX is Tier B

small osprey
#

Why not use that extra get a focus gx or smthn

#

Hmm

#

Ok then

muted patio
#

CX-M are the bad ones

Superflower not that bad

#

For twice the money XD

muted patio
#

hollow grail
#

honestly this looks god tier

small osprey
#

Is that really worth it

#

I doubt this person gonna LN2 lol

small osprey
#

Why not those corsair 1000w or 1600w ones

#

I dunno what theyre called

verbal quarry
muted patio
#

The one in my list is a CX?

verbal quarry
#

seasonic gm is the one im talking about

muted patio
#

Ah, kk

#

brb

verbal quarry
#

ya

#

k

muted patio
#

Same Tier B as the CX

narrow shore
#

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I couldn't find a Tier for the new Enermax Marblebron PSU's. They are only a few months old though, I think.

verbal quarry
#

$4 cheaper

#

is the cx a full modular?

muted patio
#

marblebron is listed Tier C, low priority

narrow shore
#

So not the greatest. Haha I see my old PSU on tier C as well and its still going 8 years later.

#

Is it ok it there is some excess thermal paste on the cpu heatsink/ next to it

robust birch
#

Guys can I mix cas latency rams?

#

Same speed same size

muted patio
#

It wil use th elowest latency if you do

robust birch
#

One is 16-18-18-36
The other 16-18-18-38

muted patio
#

Ah, that's not bad

#

SOmetimes ram sticks don't mix right so try it and see what happens

robust birch
#

Aye thank you cuz I found a deal of vengeance Lpx for 45

verbal quarry
#

@muted patio el frente asked a question about his cpu

robust birch
#

If not I'll just use it on a new build

muted patio
#

Is that a Core GM or a FOcus GM seasonic?

#

@stoic finch Old paste or new? If old, clean off before reinstalling

#

Make everything clean and shiny

stoic finch
#

Ok

When you reinstall, PEA sized drop in the middle

Not soybean, pea XD
