[finite light]

?

[gleaming quartz]

like lights lol

[wanton cliff]

pretty lights on your parts

[finite light]

yea thought so but yea in my pc

[wanton cliff]

darn

[finite light]

why

[wanton cliff]

more expensive that way

[finite light]

thats why i like the clear cases

oh but cant you buy them anywhere

[gleaming quartz]

trust me i dont think an entirely clear case is going to look good at all

[finite light]

nope just side ig

[gleaming quartz]

i think having a case like a corsair carbide would be fine

[finite light]

a black one

[gleaming quartz]

yeah

[finite light]

is that what you have?

[gleaming quartz]

yeah

[finite light]

nah im gonna stream krunker

i would never

[wanton cliff]

doing a p400a

digital

you said your budget was 1k?

how much overbudget can I go?

[finite light]

i never said that

he said that not me

[gleaming quartz]

what

im not looking for parts

[finite light]

the black case

[gleaming quartz]

yeah

i would recommend that

[finite light]

ok yea just a suggestion

@wanton cliff and your putting together a total?

[wanton cliff]

im putting together a list

whats your budget

[gleaming quartz]

how would she know if you dont know what parts you want?

[finite light]

1k

[wanton cliff]

how much overbudget can I go?

[finite light]

i dont know what parts i want so ig thats why shes doing it

ugh 100ish

[wanton cliff]

ok

MasterWatt PSUs from Coolermaster are OK right?

[finite light]

but dont try to got too high

[wanton cliff]

or should I go Corsair or something?

[finite light]

id like a clear one

[wanton cliff]

talking to everyone else

[finite light]

ill show you one

[wanton cliff]

you arent going to see the PSU

[finite light]

ok

[wanton cliff]

@gleaming quartz MasterWatt PSUs from Coolermaster are ok, right?

[gleaming quartz]

yeah

[wanton cliff]

lit

[gleaming quartz]

but i personally have a thermaltake cooler😈

[wanton cliff]

and mATX fits in standard ATX cases like the P300, right?

[gleaming quartz]

i think so

[wanton cliff]

a DS3H for example?

[gleaming quartz]

it should

[wanton cliff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jC2kz7

[wanton cliff]

can you see that or is it private?

[gleaming quartz]

it works

3060 ti?

[wanton cliff]

3070 was too expensive

[gleaming quartz]

this list is assuming its at base price which we all know it isnt going to be

[wanton cliff]

he just has to catch a drop

he could set up a bot or watch Falcodrin's stream on twitch

or I could invite him to the Snail Monitor server

[gleaming quartz]

also 750w seems a bit overkill

for a 3060 ti and also a b550 mobo

[wanton cliff]

like I said earlier, ampere power draw spikes a lot

and I would go 650 but 750 has more upgrade room rn

[finite light]

not private

i has doing something

[wanton cliff]

so you can see it or no?

[finite light]

yea i can see

[wanton cliff]

ok cool

screenshot and save

[gleaming quartz]

thats a nice case

[wanton cliff]

yeah

the mesh front panel will be good for him

and Phanteks always has had nice side panels

[gleaming quartz]

but i feel like he could get 32 gb g.skill ram for the same price

[finite light]

still can see

[wanton cliff]

nah

plus he wont go for anything that isnt RGB

[gleaming quartz]

yeah ig

[finite light]

and screenshot what

[wanton cliff]

I would go Ripjaws but like I said, RGB

[wanton cliff]

the list

[gleaming quartz]

but it is still kinda annoying that there could be way more performance for the cost of rgb

[wanton cliff]

imma delete it soon for space's sake

[wanton cliff]

yeah ik

its CL18 too

but oh well

first word latency is pretty fast so I'll take it

[gleaming quartz]

yeah

[wanton cliff]

and I wont go for 3200mhz while 3600 offers 10 frames more performance on average

I suppose I could also go for an MP34

[gleaming quartz]

what is that again?

[wanton cliff]

cheaper SSD

similar performance

[finite light]

damn thank you both

[wanton cliff]

wait hold on

dont go anywhere

[finite light]

thats a good list

[wanton cliff]

im editing the list

[finite light]

im not

oh ok

[wanton cliff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dFTrt8

so about the GPU

people are scalping them right now

which means they are buying them and reselling them for ridiculous prices

so you are going to have to catch them when they are in stock

[finite light]

nice

[wanton cliff]

whether that be by setting up a bot, watching a monitoring stream, or going to the Snail Monitor discord (which I will happily send you an invite to)

[finite light]

ok sure

[wanton cliff]

otherwise I daresay its a fine list of parts

[finite light]

it is and i joined what is it for

[wanton cliff]

it sends out an alert when a certain part (3060Ti in this case) is in stock

[finite light]

oh ok i saw that most of the parts are from amazon do i go there

to buy em

[wanton cliff]

yeah sure

best to get a 3060Ti from wherever you can, as long as it is close to MSRP

[formal cosmos]

the prices on the corsair 4000d airflow went up 😡

it used to be $70

now it’s like $95

[wanton cliff]

unfortunate

so sad

[finite light]

ok i looked and 3 parts are in stock

[wanton cliff]

(P400a)

[wanton cliff]

which 3?

should say all of them are in stock

[finite light]

whats that store in baltimore

the computer store

[wanton cliff]

Microcenter?

[finite light]

yea

[wanton cliff]

yeah try getting a graphics card from there

[finite light]

i was going to go there sometime ill go there and see

what is your favorite graphic card

[wanton cliff]

dont have a favorite

whatever is good ig

3090 is probably the best right now

[finite light]

ig

[wanton cliff]

ig means i guess

[finite light]

ik

[gleaming quartz]

i like the amd ones more but i had to give myself up and get a nvidia one

[finite light]

ig its the best it sent after you sent your line

[wanton cliff]

I only have a 5700XT so im not in the best place GPU-wise right now

[hollow grail]

true

cring gup

[wanton cliff]

still a great card but I play VR on an Index sooooo

[hollow grail]

gpu*

[wanton cliff]

framerate suffers much

[finite light]

spelled crying wrong

[wanton cliff]

and 45 FPS in VR is unplayable

[wanton cliff]

cringe not crying

[hollow grail]

have u tried not having eyes

[finite light]

oh shi i looked at it wrong

[wanton cliff]

nah fam

[gleaming quartz]

with my old card my max frames was like 70 fps

in vr

[hollow grail]

then the pc would only have to render audio

[wanton cliff]

dont swore on this server or I will have to ping Tomie

[finite light]

no

[hollow grail]

ill swear in ur dms

[wanton cliff]

what headset?

[gleaming quartz]

rift s

[hollow grail]

[finite light]

i didnt

shi isnt a swear word

[wanton cliff]

less pixels to push than an Index

[wanton cliff]

damn close to it

[finite light]

ill report you to tomie

[gleaming quartz]

yeah well i wanted a cheap starter headset and the rift s delivers

[wanton cliff]

Tomie*

[wanton cliff]

Oculus Quest 2 is a much better bet right now

[gleaming quartz]

i got it when it basically released 2 years ago

and the quest wasnt a thing

even though they were announced at the same time

[wanton cliff]

ah

makes sense

how does it hold up?

[gleaming quartz]

good

really good

at least in my opinion

[wanton cliff]

ive had friends say that theirs suck or have bricked for no reason

[hollow grail]

im thinking of getting an index

[finite light]

is tomie a girl

[wanton cliff]

good idea

[gleaming quartz]

same here

[wanton cliff]

yes, she is the head moderator

[hollow grail]

but honestly i have other stuff to worry abt

besides vr

[finite light]

but theres 3 infront of her

[hollow grail]

like my hosting costs

[wanton cliff]

because its alphabetical

[hollow grail]

could buy an index every 2 months with that

[gleaming quartz]

thats not how the role system works lol

[finite light]

welp

[gleaming quartz]

shes only 4th because of her name

[finite light]

lol oops

[gleaming quartz]

but yeah tbh i just want to wait out 2021 and see what the vr market has to offer before i take any actions

im really exited for the next stress level zero game

but thats for a different channel so lol

[wanton cliff]

The next SL0 game is going to be lit as hell

I hear they are going to have an actual story

[gleaming quartz]

yeah

i heard they are using the same physics engine that boneworks used

but i also heard they were going to port it to the quest as well so it would be like a boneworks-lite in a sense

[wanton cliff]

I just hope it has a good story and some better gunplay

not that Boneworks gunplay was bad

actually lets take this to #gaming

[verbal quarry]

anyone here that has built in a rosewill prism-s case?

[chrome arch]

How do I enable my HDD I’m only seeing saving to Ssd

[near garden]

Where should a buy a cheap windows product key ?

[hollow grail]

microsoft.com

[snow wagon]

Hey guys. So got a quick question. I have a iBuyPower prebuilt. How difficult is it to build a system with two different brands of fan and one brand of controller. So I will have four IBP fans(idk who oem them) and two coolermaster with a controller(AiO) should it be pretty easy to get everything installed and working? Or will I not know until I’m going in?

I’m building a second system but exploring the idea of using my current case as it’s pretty smooth.

[wanton cliff]

ebay

[wanton cliff]

add a partition in Disk Management

[wanton cliff]

fans and fan controllers are pretty universal

you should be fine

[chrome arch]

@wanton cliff through bios ?

[wanton cliff]

no

windows

[muted patio]

Depends on if RGB is part of this or not

Search Windows for Disk management

Initialize the disk

[blazing aurora]

press the windows key, search for disk management, and add a partition

it might say "add a new volume" or something like that

[wanton cliff]

i sent him a video of me doing it through OBS

[blazing aurora]

nice

[wanton cliff]

more or less

im on a laptop without any external storage so its not exactly what he sees

but close enough

[muted patio]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/disk-management/initialize-new-disks

[hollow grail]

start, type dskmg, select unformatted drive, format drive, profit

[wanton cliff]

or just right click windows button lol

[hollow grail]

thats for nerds

[gleaming quartz]

or just type in partitions

[wanton cliff]

typing the windows button and then Run to find the command prompt like Comcast wants me to do is for nerds

[chrome arch]

Thanks @muted patio

[gleaming quartz]

and itll pop up

[wanton cliff]

I know damn well where the command prompt is Jemimah

and how to find my IP Address

[hollow grail]

u should just run powershell thru cmd

eezpz

[wanton cliff]

lmao

honestly, she was a nice lady but pretty useless

all her methods were outdated

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

like she wanted me to go to Windows Settings to get something that she wanted me to find in Control Panel (which I only learned after she sent me a link to a Comcast troubleshooting guide)

I was in the windows settings area for a solid 10 minutes before she realized I wasn't where she wanted me to be

and I followed her directions down to the last word

[hollow grail]

lmao

ill be ur support lady

[wanton cliff]

see edit

I meant control panel

first it was command prompt but then later it was control panel

both of which i could have gotten to without Powershell or Run or whatever it's called

anyways yeah

Comcast support technicians are useless and hard to understand with their very heavy Indian accents

[hollow grail]

use cmd to ping lililabs

for big kiss

[wanton cliff]

my internet is being iffy right now

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

yes I have my command prompt in green

deal with it

im old fashioned like that

[hollow grail]

lili.gay has been pinged

u now know where one of my datacenter locations are

now find the other 6

[wanton cliff]

lol okay

lili.gay...

jeez

sara.traa is next

[hollow grail]

not if i buy it first and scalp u

[wanton cliff]

no please

can I host sara.traa from that VPS you sent me?

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

oi

[hollow grail]

no because icann doesnt have it as a tld

[wanton cliff]

frick u

[hollow grail]

jk im not paying 300 for a meme domain

[wanton cliff]

you bet your ass I will though

[hollow grail]

yeah no one is hosting it rn

do it rn

coward

[wanton cliff]

it is a one time payment?

[hollow grail]

no

[wanton cliff]

darn

how much? $300 a year?

[hollow grail]

yep

[wanton cliff]

month?

oh ok

[hollow grail]

.gay got expensive

[wanton cliff]

i need to get a job first

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

[hollow grail]

itll prolly still be there

Sounds gay, I'm in

[wanton cliff]

lttstore.net

go to it

i dare you

[hollow grail]

that's my friends site

[wanton cliff]

someone else said it was their friend

im assuming its a mutual friend

[hollow grail]

might be, theyre just from an archiving group

[wanton cliff]

who tf is pikwoo

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

lili, TaleSpin, Pikwoo...

you have a lot of names

[hollow grail]

lili is my actual name

talespin i took up because friend who had the tag died

pikwoo was what i used before that/use off discord

[wanton cliff]

is there anything to lili.gay except the specs list?

[wanton cliff]

RIP

I had a friend who died recently as well

[hollow grail]

yeah

helping it live on yknow

[wanton cliff]

yeah

[muted patio]

Spin it, Let's begin! O e oh, Talespin!

[wanton cliff]

RIP Ben, RIP TaleSpin

[hollow grail]

sorry abt ur friend

[wanton cliff]

sorry abt yours

...

how many computers do you have?

[hollow grail]

the ones listed on the spec sheets

and a few more that i dont care about enough to list

[wanton cliff]

Allison, Gravy, Belle, Anastasia, Annie, Freya, Natalie, Jasmine, Alexis, Lexi, Sanctuary, Euclid, and Enceladus.

[hollow grail]

yep

[wanton cliff]

wtf lili

[hollow grail]

sanctuary is my pride and joy tbh

[wanton cliff]

see, I name my computers things like The Mantle's Approach and Forward Unto Dawn, you name yours like people

[hollow grail]

my naming system is more based

[wanton cliff]

fair enough

gonna build another with some based cooling on intel 11000-series and call it Winter's Chill

[hollow grail]

i name client pcs dumb things

[wanton cliff]

like?

[hollow grail]

i name my pcs cute things

stuff that would get me banned here

[wanton cliff]

DMs

tried looking up George Lucas for school and got this after about 30 seconds

using Iridium

odd

[hollow grail]

TOSTOSTOS

DELETE LMAO

[wanton cliff]

what?

[hollow grail]

kekw

[snow wagon]

Thanks guys!

[wanton cliff]

np

[muted patio]

@slender sparrow is the motherboard on the latest BIOS? Did you download and install Ryzen Master? XMP the ram?

Also, what EXACT psu model is it?

[slender sparrow]

I haven’t downloaded anything for my computer besides going to amd website and I downloaded my gpu drivers

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/R2mxFT/corsair-power-supply-cp9020103na

Thsi is psu

[muted patio]

AMD website?

So no motherboard drivers?

[slender sparrow]

Nope

[muted patio]

Well

I would do the following

Update the BIOS to the latest from here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX

[slender sparrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jcYQzy/msi-b450-tomahawk-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-tomahawk-max

[muted patio]

Then, after that's done, download all the drivers from there as well

The go here and make sure you have the CPU and CHipset drivers from AMD

https://www.amd.com/en/support

Then try this again

[slender sparrow]

This correct?

[muted patio]

Without proper drivers, bad things can happen

[slender sparrow]

Do I download all of the@

Them

Or just first one

[muted patio]

Just ONE BIOS

The first one

12-10

[foggy nest]

hello, i have a question about this pc! how much fps would it get on minecraft with medium settings? the gpu is a 2070 super. https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-000F-009D4

[muted patio]

Minecraft is more CPU dependent to be honest

But that's a good one

[foggy nest]

oh, well its an i7 cpu lol

how much fps do you think it would get?

[slender sparrow]

I downloaded it and unzipped it and this is all that’s in the folder

[muted patio]

There's a link on that page with how to Flash your Bios

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRyFMf0D9Lc

[slender sparrow]

I’m not seeing a link

[foggy nest]

so what do you all think?

[muted patio]

I posted it here

I don't know how many FPS that will get in Minecraft

BUt it has good hardware

[foggy nest]

ohh ok :)

[slender sparrow]

So I need a flash drive

Which I don’t currently have

[foggy nest]

how much fps would a more high end game like fortnite get?

or apex

[muted patio]

Oh

you need a flash drive yeah

[slender sparrow]

Ye

Do I need it for the amd?

Just click download now?

[muted patio]

Just download now but you should update BIOS also since it's a B450 board

get a flash drive lol

[slender sparrow]

I will do mb

I need to go get flash dive

Does it matter if I do this first

It should I go select each one individually

Like thsi

[muted patio]

Just use the Download now and let it scan

[mortal void]

what are some fast m.2s with speeds the same as a 970 plus or slightly worse?

[slender sparrow]

Ok

[muted patio]

Sabrent Rocket 1 TB, black label

WD SN750

[mortal void]

SN750 is a runner up for Me

[muted patio]

I have 2 of the rockets

[mortal void]

I'll look into sabrent

[muted patio]

Fast bois

[mortal void]

sabrent 4.0? black and brown label

[muted patio]

Black and blue

3.0

[slender sparrow]

Recommend right

[mortal void]

regular then

[muted patio]

Should be like, $125 ish?

Not the white label

Recommended

[slender sparrow]

K

[mortal void]

mem express doesn't have it

[slender sparrow]

I should be taking a math test rn lol

This is more important

[muted patio]

That's also for your graphics card

[slender sparrow]

Ye there were a bunch of things

[muted patio]

Processor, Chipset, Graphics, etc?

[slender sparrow]

It was a like - 3x3

[muted patio]

good

[slender sparrow]

Of boxes

All green

[muted patio]

Do all the things except RAID

[slender sparrow]

O

I started it already

Is that bad?

[muted patio]

No, just not needed

[slender sparrow]

Ok

😅

This makes me wanna get a prebuilt 😭

Wtf it crashed mid download

Do I restart it?

O nvm

No it didn’t I was “getting things ready”

So they downloaded

That’s it?

[muted patio]

ALl of them are installed?

[slender sparrow]

It said finish and restart

[muted patio]

k

[slender sparrow]

It was a box that had Finish is gray

And then restart in green

And it says we reccomend u restart

[muted patio]

Then you need the Drivers from here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX#down-driver&Win10 64

[slender sparrow]

Yep I will when I get my flags

Flash drive

My mb has a flash bios button

What’s that

[muted patio]

Get a USB flash drive, then we'll cover that

[slender sparrow]

Does the flash drive have to be empty

Or can it just have enough room

[muted patio]

SHould be empty with just the BIOS file on it

[slender sparrow]

If I wipe that sss

Ssd

Can I use it

[muted patio]

I don't know, I've never used a Type C to update BIOS

[slender sparrow]

I’ll wait

Play it safe

Let me go see if I can find a flash drive to wipe

[fossil halo]

wait yo i got a question in no way related to building a computer

is there a software in which i can do a sort of hue cycle for a video

[mortal void]

I did a thing

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/bkDJTJ

all Mem Express build

$2000

Its so terrible lmao

But I won't lie, I'd honestly buy it if I had 2k laying around cause I just want a damb PC

[fossil halo]

where the hell are u buying this stuff from

[mortal void]

Local

[fossil halo]

oh

[mortal void]

Memory Express

[fossil halo]

worst place to buy lmfao

[mortal void]

best I got

for Local places

[fossil halo]

u can get this build for sub 1k usd

[mortal void]

If only I was American

Canada sucks for PC Parts

[verbal quarry]

is the zotac 30 series cards good?

i heard zotac wasnt the best

[muted patio]

Zotac is low end

Boost clocks are bad

Cooling is rough

But they work

[fossil halo]

pls

someone

i want to add a hue cycle effect to a video

[verbal quarry]

oh then nvm ill stick with the fe card i was planning to get

[fossil halo]

but windows movie maker got discontinued

[verbal quarry]

hey vintage have you ever worked in a rosewill prism case

[muted patio]

I have not

And Windows 10 still has movie maker

It's called Video Editor

I use it for my GoPro videos

It's in the Photo App

[fossil halo]

no ik that

but it doesnt have the hue effect

https://tenor.com/view/rgb-yakumo_ran-八雲藍-電競rgb素裸天狐-ran-gif-19683164

like to add that sort of effect to the whole video

[muted patio]

I have no idea. I don't edit videos like that lol

[balmy flower]

Hey I got a couple questions about building a pc around 700 bucks

[fossil halo]

dont right now lmfao

[balmy flower]

Okay then?

[fossil halo]

lmao jsut like part prices are high asf right now

so for 700 ull get a dogwater pc

right now

[balmy flower]

I meant should I buy prebuilt then? 😭

[fossil halo]

no just dont buy right now

[muted patio]

Um

[fossil halo]

also budget nvidia cards coming soon

[muted patio]

part increases are permanent

Import taxes

[balmy flower]

Oh that's fun

[muted patio]

GPu and motherboard for sure

[fossil halo]

that too

but cpu as well

[balmy flower]

Budget nvidia cards?

Lemme look thag up

[fossil halo]

3050 3050ti etc

[muted patio]

Yeah, most likely announced next week

[fossil halo]

event next week

[muted patio]

haven't been announced yet

[fossil halo]

yea

[muted patio]

Wait for CES next week

[fossil halo]

like rumour confirmed type

[balmy flower]

Did they specify any sort of price range?

[muted patio]

Probs 250-350 cards

have to wait and see

[balmy flower]

Also I just want a pc ugh 😭

Why is this so difficult

Have you built a pc yet

?

[wanton cliff]

I feel like a god

[left shore]

Sooo

Question

Would it be cheaper to get a 1 TB SSD or 240 GB SSD with a 1 TB HDD

[wanton cliff]

I just unplugged and removed a 1660s from one system, moved it to my system, took out my power supply, added another PCIe wire to it, put the PSU back in, plugged it into the 1660s, and got it all working in less than 5 minutes

And did it all before class started

[wanton cliff]

probs 240gb with a 1tb HDD

1tb SSD is more worth it IMO

[left shore]

Any recommendations on a 240 GB SSD

Is the PNY one any good?

[wanton cliff]

PNY generally only makes graphics cards

I wouldnt trust an SSD from them

gonna have to ping @hollow grail though, she is the storage expert

[left shore]

What's a good one?

Oh ok

[fossil halo]

basic good oones

are

skhynix thing

[wanton cliff]

oh wait she is high rn

nevermind

[fossil halo]

LMFAO WHAT

[left shore]

Lmaoooo

[fossil halo]

good ones are the sk hynix gold

crucial p1

samsung 960

those expensive tho

[fossil halo]

are u looking for nvme or sata

[wanton cliff]

NVMe is going to be a lot more worth

[fossil halo]

LMFAO

[left shore]

Sata

[fossil halo]

bruh why

sata slo

xD pls snipe

[left shore]

It's for a client

He broke

[fossil halo]

oh

yea then

get a samsung 860

i think they are pretty cheap and good

[left shore]

Damn

40 bucks

[muted patio]

I've got a couple of 860's

Good drives

[left shore]

For 80 I can get a MX500 lmao

A 1 TB one

[muted patio]

Eh

not so great

[left shore]

It's good enough

[fossil halo]

who even needs storage

cloud brrrrrrrrrrrr

lmao jk

[left shore]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-240gb-internal-sata-solid-state-drive/5900261.p?skuId=5900261&ref=212&loc=1

But seriously

Thoughts on this?

[fossil halo]

pny kinda sus

[left shore]

Not a bad price

[wanton cliff]

aww did a mod get rid of the messages referring to lili's current predicament?

ah well

cant blame them i suppose

technically no rule about talking about that stuff tho

[left shore]

Lmao

[wanton cliff]

alright question

how do I use a second graphics card to record video on obs

[ebon matrix]

guys my cousin mobo is red

can anyone help?

[tall stratus]

ryzen 7 2700x rtx 2070 16gb 3200mhz cl16 wd black asus prime x470 corsair 460x case corsair h100i rgb pro xt ? current build any good

[muted patio]

Like, whole mobo is red or a red light is on?

[ebon matrix]

red light

its a B450 tomahawk max

[muted patio]

Which red light?

There are 4

CPU, DRAM, BOOT and one other I can't remember

Oh< VGA

[wanton cliff]

how to use second GPU to record video?

[wanton cliff]

I have a 5700xt i am going to use for game and 1660s I am going to use for video encoding

[muted patio]

That's a CPU light, means either CPU is bad or the CPU power isn't plugged in

OBS?

[ebon matrix]

ok ty

[muted patio]

YW

[wanton cliff]

Open Broadcaster System?

[muted patio]

Ye

[wanton cliff]

you havent heard of OBS?

[muted patio]

I'm asking if you're using OBS

[wanton cliff]

oh

yeah

i am

borrowing my dad's 1660s because AMD sucks for video encoding and games at same time

keeps crashing

[muted patio]

Yeah, those aren't going to play nice together lol

[wanton cliff]

how so?

[muted patio]

AMD + nVidia drivers on the same system

[wanton cliff]

ah, I see

its only gonna be for about 20 minutes

so?

google shows nada as far as this goes

[muted patio]

I'm not sure that will work with OBS

I know you can with say, 2 nVidia GPU's

But AMD and nVidia? hmmmm

[wanton cliff]

Well I dont have another NVidia GPU

[muted patio]

I know, I'm reading

[wanton cliff]

I got a 1660s for my dad's computer that I am borrowing and thats the only other GPU in the house

If I have the Nvidia drivers on a separate SSD will that work better?

[muted patio]

No, because Windows will be using both at the same time

It doesn't matter where they're installed ot

*to

[wanton cliff]

hmmm

[left shore]

Ok so for 150

What GPU should I go for

[wanton cliff]

cant get much for 150

[left shore]

RX 570

[wanton cliff]

is it just so you can output video or are you actually going to use it for gaming?

[left shore]

Gaming

[wanton cliff]

oof

[left shore]

An RX 570 isn't that bad tho

[wanton cliff]

yeah but it was kinda eh even when it came out

and its been 2 or 3 years already

[left shore]

Is there an Nvidia equivalent for the price?

[wanton cliff]

idk how much 980s go for now but I wouldnt reccommend one

or any GPU for $150 for that matter

[muted patio]

Honestly sara, I don't think that can be done in OBS. Found a few mentions of Relive but know nothing about it

[wanton cliff]

Relive huh?

[left shore]

1050 TI?

[wanton cliff]

I dont know much about recording with relive and you cant set it up the same way as OBS

[wanton cliff]

also horrible when it came out

what about a capture card?

I have an old HD60 sitting around

[left shore]

Well I'm on a tight budget lmao

[wanton cliff]

could I use that?

[muted patio]

Capture card is the best bet, yeah

[wanton cliff]

you might be able to get by with a 1060 or used 1070

[left shore]

1050 Ti is better than a 980 TI

[wanton cliff]

nah

false

[left shore]

Yes

[wanton cliff]

what gives you that idea?

[left shore]

Oh wait

No it's not

But

For 150 there aren't many choices

[gleaming quartz]

I mean a rx 570 can run boneworks at 60 fps with occasional lag spikes so I would say it would be worth it

[wanton cliff]

correct

[wanton cliff]

boneworks is a relatively light game tho

[gleaming quartz]

true

[wanton cliff]

in most senses of the word 'light'

most

[fossil halo]

rx 570 can run fortnite on high at 70fps im pretty sure thats pretty good for like 100$

[gleaming quartz]

it can also run (ugh) fortnite at 120 fps

yeah

[fossil halo]

high at 70fps in weeping woods so hella shadows

[left shore]

Aren't most 1080P games dependent on CPU anyways?

[fossil halo]

no

[analog pulsar]

Anyone need help with pc

[wanton cliff]

a good CPU def helps but graphics are GPU dependant

[fossil halo]

i would like a graphics card that is not a gt 710

[muted patio]

Super high fps is CPU dependent

but not 1080p in general

[left shore]

RX 570 for 110 isn't too bad

[fossil halo]

such an eyesore

[fossil halo]

really good deal actually

[wanton cliff]

what about a 4700G?

[left shore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jxdxW3

[wanton cliff]

nah, a 570 would be better

[left shore]

Any tweaks I should make?

The PSU is gonna be a CX 500

[wanton cliff]

3100 and DS3H instead of i3-10100

also gonna need a cooler, most likely

[fossil halo]

yea

intel stock cooler ass

[left shore]

3100?

[fossil halo]

ryzen 3 3100

[wanton cliff]

R3 3100

[fossil halo]

amd is good

[left shore]

Oh ok

[fossil halo]

but then u need speedy boi ram

[wanton cliff]

and b550 DS3H

[left shore]

Can you guys teak my list

[fossil halo]

NONONONON

NON

[left shore]

I need it to be under 600 tho

[fossil halo]

BAD MOTHERBOARD

[kind hemlock]

Hey can someone help me with something? So I ordered 2 more sticks of ram (matching my old 2 sticks) to get 32GB but when I installed my cooler the first time i put it on backwards so it was partially covering the first ram slot so I had to take off the cooler and flip it, but now it won’t post :/

[wanton cliff]

good budget mobo tho

[left shore]

And the motherboard has to have a RGB Header

[fossil halo]

I HAVE AND GIGABYTE SOFTWARE IS ASS

YES IF U CARE THE SLIGHTEST BIT ABOUT RGB TURN UR HEAD AWAY FROM GIGABYTE

GO ASUS

[wanton cliff]

It'll be a RAM problem

the sticks werent tested together

[fossil halo]

sorry i got a gigabyte motherboard

and the rgb software is to say the least ass

[wanton cliff]

he dont have any RGB on his list lol

[fossil halo]

asus mobos are also compatible wth icue

[fossil halo]

i mean ur giving a b550 for a 3100 so i assume that is to future proof

[wanton cliff]

bro RGB isnt a priority here

[kind hemlock]

I took out the new RAM and tested it with just the old one and I still had the same issue, I ran a bunch of different tests and it still didn’t work, I’m thinking it’s something wrong with the CPU or cooler but I’m out of ideas

[fossil halo]

wdym

he clearly cares

[wanton cliff]

did you reapply thermal paste?

[left shore]

The case has RGB fans

[wanton cliff]

i mean, i prefer having a b550 over RGB

just me

hello Ry

[kind hemlock]

No..I’m using the stock AMD cooler lol, it came preapplied, should I stop by Best Buy and see if they have any? Would that cause it not to post?

[outer heart]

what up

[left shore]

Ok so

Can you tweak my list so that it's under 600 USD with amd and a mobo with RGB header

[wanton cliff]

it could. Best Buy usually has some thermal paste. Pick up alcohol pads or 97% Isopropyl alcohol while you are there

[outer heart]

i’ll try

[wanton cliff]

gonna be really hard

[left shore]

That's why I said that the one I have rn isn't too bad

[wanton cliff]

your one what?

[outer heart]

gimmie dat 🔗

[wanton cliff]

sneky snek

the Razer mascot

[outer heart]

correct

[wanton cliff]

has graced us with his presence

[outer heart]

very cute

[left shore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/98BTt8

[outer heart]

would be best with a red tongue

[wanton cliff]

Like I said, R3 3100 and B550 DS3H with a Hyper 212 black edition

[left shore]

But then no RGB

And

[wanton cliff]

its either b550 or RGB, your choice

[left shore]

The i3 10100 is better

And it isn't even close

[wanton cliff]

not really

what gave you that idea?

you said the same thing about the 980Ti and the 1050Ti

[left shore]

Well for that one I got confused lmaao

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-10100-vs-AMD-Ryzen-3-3100/4075vsm1148404

[wanton cliff]

its about more than just FPS

[outer heart]

are you locked at 600

[wanton cliff]

Ryzen has a better upgrade path

if you want anything better in the future, you wont have to buy a bunch of new BS like you have to with Intel

a new Mobo and cooler, for example

[left shore]

Yeah 600 is the limit

@wanton cliff Like what?

[wanton cliff]

a Ryzen 5 3600

[outer heart]

when are you buying

[left shore]

Lol I thought fps was all that mattered

No I mean what's more important than FPS

[wanton cliff]

in the short term, not really

with your budget anything more than 60fps wont matter anyways

[left shore]

Well still

The mobo has the RGB so

[wanton cliff]

RGB shouldnt even be a concern at your price point

[outer heart]

unless you go super cheap on everything else

[wanton cliff]

I'd much prefer a better performing system than one with pretty lights

[left shore]

Well that's what the client wanted

RGB

[wanton cliff]

also you might be able to pick up a 3050Ti after CES next week

or just 3050

specs arent released yet so we dont know if they will be good or not

[wanton cliff]

Client? Are you building this for someone else?

[left shore]

Yes

[outer heart]

what are your margins

[wanton cliff]

...Are you going to pay us for our time?

I think he left

yeah hes offline now lol

[outer heart]

hahaha

[left shore]

None

It's for a friend

[wanton cliff]

ah

[left shore]

Call him a client cuz technically he is lol

[outer heart]

ok that makes sense

[wanton cliff]

tell him that RGB is going to be nigh impossible for his build

[outer heart]

unless you get more moneys to spend

[wanton cliff]

$700 and more would definetly give a lot more headroom

and I do mean quite a bit more

[verbal quarry]

what was the original budget?

[wanton cliff]

$600

[verbal quarry]

oh wow

thats not much to get rgb

[wanton cliff]

'and RGB must be included*

paraphrasing

[verbal quarry]

i mean you might as well buy rgb strips whenever you get extra cash

[outer heart]

yeah that would be best idea

[wanton cliff]

yeah that'd be best

[verbal quarry]

what did you guys have planned for that build?

[left shore]

For 650 what would you be able to do

[verbal quarry]

a bit more

[wanton cliff]

get rgb strips and a light controller, at least

[verbal quarry]

yea

max the build out at 625 and spend 25 on rgb strips

[left shore]

Well

[wanton cliff]

idk how much a controller costs though

[left shore]

For that you would need a decent mobo

[wanton cliff]

no

[outer heart]

PANGTON VILLA Led Strip Lights 6.56 Feet for 40-60 Inch TV Usb Backlight Kit with Remote Rgb 16 Colors Bias Mood Lamp for Bedroom, Room Hdtv https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QWJRBS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_9H29FbWHXVEFT

[wanton cliff]

RGB strips can be completely free of anything PC related

[outer heart]

separate remote

$16

6ft probably more than enough

[verbal quarry]

honestly thats a decent set of rgb

[outer heart]

plug usb power into mobo io

[left shore]

No I mean

Like for example for the RGB fans you would need an ARGB Header

[outer heart]

you can’t do it for so little

[verbal quarry]

that is the best way to describe that moment xD

[left shore]

Lol well what cheap mobo has an ARGB header

[wanton cliff]

A lot of them

[verbal quarry]

assumg hes going a b550?

[wanton cliff]

mobos have standards, and ARGB headers are one of them

[muted patio]

Are you SURE it's aRGB and not RGB?

[wanton cliff]

we went with the DS3H

[verbal quarry]

ooooh ok

[left shore]

It's aRGB

[slender sparrow]

Vintage

[muted patio]

good

[left shore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/98BTt8

[slender sparrow]

Look in #electronics

I think I did it

Hopefully this fix the problem

[verbal quarry]

wait what is that cheap fan brand

asiahorse?

[slender sparrow]

If this doesn’t I’m RMAing the mb

[left shore]

Gigabyte b550m DS3H?

[severe axle]

asiahorse sells molex fans+strips

[verbal quarry]

they make rgb fans that i think fit the budget for him

[severe axle]

https://www.newegg.com/apevia-tl412l2s-rgb-case-fan/p/N82E16835228133?Description=apevia&cm_re=apevia-_-35-228-133-_-Product

[verbal quarry]

yea so you guys made the build with $600 in mind he might be able to do rgb fans

[wanton cliff]

a crying shame Noctua dont have RGB

[severe axle]

just get phanteks rgb fan frame

[slender sparrow]

I have 4 pin mother board but 3 pin argb so I lost my argb compatibility

[verbal quarry]

dang

[wanton cliff]

unfortunate

[slender sparrow]

Ye

[severe axle]

https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-ph-ff120rgbp-bk01/p/N82E16811984012 this

[slender sparrow]

I can control it from a onboard controller

[verbal quarry]

sara have you made a build using the rosewill prism case? @wanton cliff

[slender sparrow]

I can get blue as the only solid color

[wanton cliff]

I do like Phantek's RGB...

[wanton cliff]

it works then?

[left shore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/98BTt8 can someone tweak the list for the b550 mobo and the ryzen CPU

[wanton cliff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fYndvf

[verbal quarry]

not a bad build

[wanton cliff]

only 23 bucks overbudget, and a much better system

[verbal quarry]

he had changed the budget to 650

so that sits pretty nice

[wanton cliff]

27 bucks underbudget then

enough room for RGB strips

as far as money goes, anyways

[verbal quarry]

true

[wanton cliff]

#building-and-recc-chat message

[verbal quarry]

what are some good full length pc cables i could get?

[wanton cliff]

wdym?

[next kestrel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qRL4Jf

[verbal quarry]

ik there are cable extensions but i also know there are the full length ones

[next kestrel]

better cooler, case, and ssd

the ones that connect directly to the PSU?

[verbal quarry]

yes

[wanton cliff]

good job

never heard of that cooler

[little leaf]

why do you need a cooler

[outer heart]

i have that lol

[little leaf]

and also why such bad ram

[next kestrel]

it looks cool

[little leaf]

3200 cl16 is cheaper

[next kestrel]

lmao

[outer heart]

its amazing for $30

[next kestrel]

and apprently its got good perfs

[outer heart]

dropped from ~60 to 45

idle is even lower

[wanton cliff]

upon first glance in 720p your pfp looks like SCP-●●|●●●●●|●●|●

[next kestrel]

lmao its iu

[wanton cliff]

who?

[next kestrel]

korean idol

[wanton cliff]

ah

makes sense

[next kestrel]

guess how old she is

[wanton cliff]

30s?

late 20s?

[next kestrel]

ye 27

almost double my age lmao

[wanton cliff]

wow

r/im14andthisisdeep

lol

[verbal quarry]

lol

[wanton cliff]

she does music?

mind linking a song or two?

[blazing aurora]

is the 3060ti overkill for 1080p @ 75hz

?

[wanton cliff]

yes

[severe axle]

yes

[wanton cliff]

but its also a good, relatively cheap GPU

[clever jetty]

can someone help find were does 10 pin cable go ?

[wanton cliff]

10 pin?

[blazing aurora]

alright

[wanton cliff]

forgot which one that is

[blazing aurora]

i might go with the 20 series then

[clever jetty]

it’s not for gpu

[wanton cliff]

20 seires is grossly overprices

[clever jetty]

it’s for motherboard

[wanton cliff]

go with 3060Ti

or 3050Ti when it comes out, if specs are good

[wanton cliff]

20 seires is grossly overprices

go with 3060Ti

those sent out of order

my wifi is being weird

[blazing aurora]

alright

[wanton cliff]

those sent out of order

those two sent out of order as well lmao

anyways

CES next week

wait till then to see prices on 3060 non Ti and 3050 and 3050Ti

and specs on all of those

@blazing aurora

[clever jetty]

i will flash the bios , should i connect that Cable ??

[next kestrel]

connect the cable no matter what

[wanton cliff]

make sure you dont lose power during flash or your board is bricked

happened to Kyle a week or two ago with a $1k board

[muted patio]

If you're going to flash the bios to update to Ryzen 5000 series, leave the CPU out too

[wanton cliff]

out?

[muted patio]

Ye

[wanton cliff]

you mean the Zen3 CPU or the older CPU?

[muted patio]

Zen 3

If updating BIOS for Zen 3, leave CPU out

[wanton cliff]

dont you need a Zen2 or before CPU to flash BIOS?

[left shore]

Wait

@wanton cliff

[ebon matrix]

and btw its a ryzen 5 3600 new

[left shore]

Where did you find a Ryzen 3 3100 for that price

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F8hKkX

[wanton cliff]

its MSRP

gotta catch one

like a fish during a drought

[muted patio]

@ebon matrix Yes. Which is why I suspect CPU power isn't plugged in OR some pins were bent on installation

It could be motherboard BIOS too but doubtful if new
