sexc

[earnest olive]

very happy about that

took like 30 minutes to build cause the case is so well designed

[formal cosmos]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8KCP9N this is my build

the reason why i chose a 750w psu was because i wanted to get a 3060ti but i was not patient so i went with a 1660s

[earnest olive]

umm

you really shouldn't get mismatched ram

and add an ssd

[formal cosmos]

don’t worry about the ram

i put that on accident

[earnest olive]

you could just delete it from the list

[formal cosmos]

yeah ik

[earnest olive]

do you not have an ssd

[formal cosmos]

i was thinking of getting that later

because rn i don’t have the money for it

[hollow grail]

find the money for it imo

get the hdd afterwards

[formal cosmos]

the ssd was gonna be my first upgrade

[earnest olive]

i mean... you just bought a gpu for $200-250 cheaper than what you were intending

a good ssd doesn't cost that much

[hollow grail]

^^^^

[earnest olive]

you can get a pretty solid 500gb ssd for under $60

[steel tartan]

Cool you leveled up in life

[solid verge]

unless you plan on moving the entire windows instalation over to your ssd its better to begin with that

[hollow grail]

and even then doing that is kind of a pain

[solid verge]

because thats what i will have to do xP

[hollow grail]

a ssd is the biggest usability factor in any pc

[formal cosmos]

i was gonna get this one WD_Black 500GB SN750  NVMe Internal Gaming SSD - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND - WDS500G3X0C https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MH2P5ZD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_1JO-FbWT822HV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[earnest olive]

not having an ssd is going to make your ryzen 5 3600 feel like an i3-540

[solid verge]

yea you do need extra storage if you dont want to copy large files

external i mean

[earnest olive]

i upgraded my sister's laptop from hdd to ssd recently

it took 16 minutes to boot

one time she restarted to apply updates and it took 4 hours

[solid verge]

that must have been a very low rpm drive tho

[earnest olive]

5400rpm

[hollow grail]

which is standard

[earnest olive]

most laptops use 5400rpm

[formal cosmos]

i’m just not sure if 500gb is gonna be enough for me

[earnest olive]

..

it's 2.5tb vs 2tb

[jagged ember]

if you install more games, maybe not

[earnest olive]

how is more storage not enough

O_O

[jagged ember]

but if it's between 2tb and 2.5tb

[solid verge]

i seem to have a 7200 rpm one

[jagged ember]

get the cheaper one ig

[solid verge]

i never noticed 4 hour updates

[earnest olive]

@jagged ember they only have a 2tb hdd, we're trying to tell them to add an ssd lmao

[jagged ember]

doesn't really matter

ooohhhh

definitely get an ssd for your boot drive

[earnest olive]

even $100 builds in 2021 are coming with ssds

[solid verge]

are you planning on downloading 4k videos?

raw?

[hollow grail]

inb4 smr 2tb barracuda

[jagged ember]

that was an oof honestly

[earnest olive]

i have no idea what to do with all my hard drive space

all my games are on my ssd

[solid verge]

back em up

[earnest olive]

back up game files?

saves are all on the cloud

[jagged ember]

kek backup game files?

[solid verge]

game saves at least

[jagged ember]

they're all non-local now

[formal cosmos]

should i drop the hard drive for an ssd?

[solid verge]

i know but its better to have them local in case you care about not losing any for whatever reason

[jagged ember]

i thought you wanted an ssd in addition to your hard drive

wasn't that the plan all along?

[formal cosmos]

i want to buy a hard drive first and then when i get the money for an ssd then i’ll upgrade to an ssd

[earnest olive]

you have your priorities wrong

not having an ssd slows down everything else so much

[jagged ember]

just revived a build with a 7200rpm drive

booting takes ages

and finishing windows initialization takes more ages

[solid verge]

minutes

[jagged ember]

minutes upon minutes

it sucks

get an ssd first

then get the hdd for your extra storage later

[formal cosmos]

mmk

i just feel like i’m gonna run out of storage

[solid verge]

what do you want to store?

[formal cosmos]

just multiple games

[earnest olive]

once upon a time

[solid verge]

well you can count how much they will take and see if it is enough or not

[earnest olive]

when i had an old laptop with only a hard drive

[formal cosmos]

such as valorant,r6,rl,minecraft, and so on

[earnest olive]

i hit the power button

went to go get lunch

came back home 46 minutes later and it wasn't done booting

[jagged ember]

Oh those games will fit

[earnest olive]

and yeah all of those will fit in 500gb

[jagged ember]

You're fine

I need more storage cause I do video editing

[solid verge]

wideus tech dips?

sorry

[jagged ember]

Yes

Salsa is a good dip

[solid verge]

w i d e u s t e c h d i p s

now its done

dunno if i agree

[formal cosmos]

is this fine? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TBbYbh

minus the hard drive

[earnest olive]

did you already buy the ram

cause that ram hasn't actually been in stock for a long time

pcpartpicker just thinks it is

[formal cosmos]

oh

n

o

i haven’t bought it

[earnest olive]

that ssd is fine but if you're really short on money there's cheaper ssds that are still very good

[formal cosmos]

what ram do you recommend that’s white under $80

[earnest olive]

under $80? you'd have to go with 3200mhz

actually

[formal cosmos]

yeah that’s fine

crucial has 3600mhz ram for $75

just out of stock

[earnest olive]

idk i have black ram in my white build looks fine to me

mobo is black so

it blends in

white ram would stick out too much i think

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232880

id just get this kit

[formal cosmos]

gpu?

[earnest olive]

you're asking what gpu i have?

[formal cosmos]

yes

[earnest olive]

3080

[formal cosmos]

damn

[earnest olive]

took 3 months to find in stock

[formal cosmos]

isn’t it having problem rn?

my friend was getting low fps on valorant

he was getting like 150 and under

[earnest olive]

everything works fine for me

[formal cosmos]

with a 3080

[earnest olive]

could be cpu bottlenecked

[formal cosmos]

ima just go with this

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BxTzK8/crucial-ballistix-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-bl2k8g32c16u4b

for money wise

[little osprey]

hey could someone help me decide on a better case

also if you could help me find a better motherboard becuase i want to use 10400f but my current motherboard wont let me

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PqCWy4 thanks

@little osprey do you already have the 3600?

none of the stuff on my list is ordoerd

alright

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wqgQzy/asrock-b460-pro4-atx-lga1200-motherboard-b460-pro4

this one seems like a great mobo

ok thanks

[formal cosmos]

@earnest olive

if i get a 500gb ssd

would google and windows take up a lot of space?

because i also wanna get valorant,r6,minecraft,gta, and rocket league

[hollow grail]

mp34 over helix

[spare yew]

opinions?

before (left), after (right)

[jagged ember]

right

honestly tho ding dang you really cable managed

[analog pulsar]

Hi

[analog pulsar]

I like right

[wanton cliff]

why in god's name are you still awake

[hollow grail]

cause i can be

gotem

[stoic island]

@hollow grail you should test mp34 if you have so much time

[hollow grail]

time doesnt equal money

[stoic island]

time is money though

[hollow grail]

true

tfw drive speed bottlenecking my network

[still roost]

Jaden!#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[formal cosmos]

my speeds are 💩

[minor lynx]

can someone make me a PCPP? Much appreciated. I just don't know much about PC building as I mostly get my builds wrong

[stoic island]

what budget

[minor lynx]

lemme see

520USD

there

[stoic island]

close nuff
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LsBRCz

[junior crescent]

What's a good Gaming/Streaming cpu for 200-300 Aud

[wet prairie]

guys whats the best b550/x570 board for 150$ or less

[minor lynx]

thanks

[earnest olive]

@stoic island that gpu isn't actually in stock

b&h stock is usually a lie

during current shortage for $520 best you can do is probably a ryzen 5 3400g

they're going for $160 used

can't find new

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3pYZGq

this is about the best you can do on that budget in 2021, a little more room left in budget to add more storage if desired

[wanton cliff]

I don’t much like B&H

Not going to lie

[earnest olive]

yeah lili told us about it

but like it or not the card is not in stock to begin with

[wanton cliff]

What did lili say about B&H?

[earnest olive]

used 3400g is selling for higher than new price

[hollow grail]

theyre super racist lmao

[wanton cliff]

Do tell

[hollow grail]

like racially segregated bathrooms level

[wanton cliff]

Oh my

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

ID is telling me in DMs right now

Quite the rap sheet

[stoic island]

@earnest olive mhm, is sad

[earnest olive]

theoretically you could also upgrade an optiplex with a 1050ti on a budget

1050ti is still findable for now

[hollow grail]

yeah they arent ideal

[earnest olive]

nothing higher than that is

[wanton cliff]

I’d stray from the 1050Ti

[hollow grail]

however those mfs sell a lot of good nas hw

so

[earnest olive]

1060s are selling for $225

[wanton cliff]

Nevermind

[earnest olive]

1070s are selling for $300

[hollow grail]

time to sell my spare cards

[earnest olive]

1080tis are selling for $450

5700XTs are selling for $550

[wanton cliff]

I’d buy a 1080Ti for $450

[hollow grail]

time to sell my 1080s for 450

[wanton cliff]

And sell my 5700Xt

[earnest olive]

1080s are selling for like $350

[hollow grail]

well ill sell mine for 450

[wanton cliff]

1080Ti is better than 5700XT right?

[earnest olive]

no

[hollow grail]

cause im super cool

[earnest olive]

about the same

[wanton cliff]

Huh

I thought 1080Ti was slightly better

[earnest olive]

but 5700xt is a lot more efficient

[wanton cliff]

At?

[earnest olive]

power

i got my 1080ti to beat 2070 super by a decent amount

but it was sucking 370W to do so

[wanton cliff]

As in electrical power consumption or processing power

[wanton cliff]

Oh

[earnest olive]

https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/10985671/spy/13922158

[wanton cliff]

Yeah that gets more expensive in the long run lol

[earnest olive]

370W is toasty

and it was a dual fan card so it was screaming

[wanton cliff]

WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[earnest olive]

now i run my current card at 350W and it's nice and quiet

[wanton cliff]

Get a water block for that thing at that point lol

Poor GPU

[earnest olive]

nah this thing is perfectly fine on air

[wanton cliff]

Talking about the one they ran at 370w

[earnest olive]

i'm not convinced liquid would be quieter

i can hear my cpu pump over the gpu sometimes

[hollow grail]

lol

[wanton cliff]

I don’t use water

[hollow grail]

i dont use

[wanton cliff]

Got a prism on my 3800x and Sapphire’s cooler on my 5700XT

[earnest olive]

runs 60% fan speed at max load and i can't hear it with open backed headphones

[hollow grail]

cringe imagine not being passively cooled

[earnest olive]

lili

[wanton cliff]

You think people would buy Sapphire branded Nvidia cards?

[earnest olive]

good luck trying to passively cool 350W

[wanton cliff]

[earnest olive]

i mean people are buying whatever cards they can get rn

[south ermine]

ghost ping in build pics?

[earnest olive]

regardless of brand

[wanton cliff]

Apparently.

[earnest olive]

but if we're talking about non shortage times

sapphire has a very good reputation

[wanton cliff]

Happens to me sometimes

[earnest olive]

so i'm sure people would buy them

[wanton cliff]

But I am here often soooo

[earnest olive]

i like their card design too

[wanton cliff]

Yeah

Sapphire’s cards are sexy as hell

And those back plates too

[earnest olive]

6800xt nitro+ se looks so much better than

honestly most of the 30 series

[wanton cliff]

99% of 30 series

[hollow grail]

powercolor has nicer looking cards imo

[earnest olive]

that was the card i originally wanted

a 6800xt nitro+

but...

[wanton cliff]

They do white and polished aluminum so damn well

[earnest olive]

big navi doesn't exist

[hollow grail]

red devils r HOT

[earnest olive]

i say it took me 3 months to buy my 3080

but in reality

[wanton cliff]

Definitely comparable but I like my GPUs to be white instead of black

[earnest olive]

it took 2 weeks after i gave up on 6800xt

[wanton cliff]

Clashes with the system better IMO

[earnest olive]

after not even getting a 6800xt into my cart for 2.5 months before that

lol

i'm happy with my vision

[wanton cliff]

RDNA2 does not exist

[earnest olive]

thinking about if i want to remove the purple bar or not tho

it doesn't bother me much

from the angle i'm looking at my pc it appears more dark gray than purple

only looks purple if looking straight at it

[hollow grail]

this is cute

[earnest olive]

you're cute

[hollow grail]

true

so is this tho

[wanton cliff]

This did not age well

[earnest olive]

i fell for it

[wanton cliff]

In any sense of the word

[earnest olive]

i bought a custom engraved gpu stand

[earnest olive]

that said ryzen radeon

lol

i ended up selling it to my friend with a 5600xt

after getting 3080

i really got fooled into thinking i'd be able to buy a 6800xt

[wanton cliff]

Like I said: looks nice, but the black and red clashes horribly with the rest of the PC IMO

[hollow grail]

i wish amd gpus were worth using at all

they kinda just suck ass at everything

[earnest olive]

could look good as an accent in an otherwise completely black build with no rgb

[wanton cliff]

Fooled into thinking that Big Navi RT performance would be good

[earnest olive]

6800xt beats 3080 in the only thing i care about

1440p raster

i don't use any of the nvidia features

[wanton cliff]

Agreed. Might make a build like that once I have some adult money

[hollow grail]

Fooled into thinking that Big Navi RT performance would be good

[earnest olive]

blackout builds honestly look really nice

as someone who wasted too much money on rgb

i did a budget blackout build for a customer recently

[wanton cliff]

Want to get Ampere because it does better pushing large amounts of pixels and that’s it

[hollow grail]

i want to rgb my servers

[frigid zinc]

would it damage the cpu if i used normal alcohol

[earnest olive]

do server boards come with rgb headers

i doubt it

[hollow grail]

bling datacenter

[earnest olive]

could use sata controller though

[wanton cliff]

Isopropyl alcohol is the standard thing to use

Gets the thermal paste off better than anything

Alcohol in general, that is

[earnest olive]

the budget blackout build in question

[frigid zinc]

k

[earnest olive]

i like the no rgb aesthetic too

just all black

[wanton cliff]

Used hand sanitizer to clean off the cooler from my 3600. Worked surprisingly well.

[hollow grail]

just gonna use rgb strips

[earnest olive]

ive wiped off thermal paste with a dry paper towel

[hollow grail]

ive licked off thermal paste

[earnest olive]

sata rgb strips?

that's

😳

[wanton cliff]

I feel like a red accent from a power color GPU would definitely help

[earnest olive]

red accent would look cool in that build

but stealthy all black is nice too

[wanton cliff]

Flashback to that one edible thermal paste video

[wanton cliff]

Not exactly all black. You can see heat pipes on the GPU. They kind of stand out in the lighting tbh

[earnest olive]

@hollow grail can we get these together

[wanton cliff]

No

Lili is mine

Get away

[earnest olive]

damn i should have painted the heatpipes black

[hollow grail]

true sara has a massive crush on me

[earnest olive]

😔

[wanton cliff]

Also are you an official employee? Are you getting paid?

[earnest olive]

i didn't get paid enough to do that

[wanton cliff]

For being a junior mod?

[earnest olive]

employee of what

newegg?

no

[hollow grail]

no

[wanton cliff]

Huh

Just curious

[hollow grail]

i get paid per member who crushes on me tho

[wanton cliff]

I cannot lie

It’s the truth

[earnest olive]

how much did i get paid for this build again

[hollow grail]

sara is financing lililabs

[earnest olive]

lemme check

[still roost]

Komm, süßer Tod#1223 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

Wait

[still roost]

Komm, süßer Tod#1223 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

Komm, süßer Tod#1223 has been kicked

Reason: Too many infractions

[earnest olive]

LMAO

[hollow grail]

she was 2 lesbian for wegg

[wanton cliff]

That’s some hot bull

[earnest olive]

did you.. lose nitro booster for that

O_O

oh

[hollow grail]

its cause ppl use it as insult

[earnest olive]

it's back

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

I lost it but I just boosted again

No big deal

[hollow grail]

boost me mommy

[earnest olive]

okay i got paid $86.11 for that build

not enough to be worth trying to black out the heatpipes

[hollow grail]

lol tru

[wanton cliff]

This is some hot bull, I’m literally g*y

[earnest olive]

it was a budget build so

[hollow grail]

sharpie time

[wanton cliff]

I should be allowed to say that word

[earnest olive]

i wonder if sharpie on a heatpipe would work

[wanton cliff]

Probably not

[earnest olive]

is sharpie heat resistant

[wanton cliff]

Sharpie doesn’t actually work well on metal

And yeah it’s ink

Lol

[earnest olive]

that's still more effort than i was paid for anyways

[wanton cliff]

No heat resistance there

It’ll melt right off

[earnest olive]

$86

[wanton cliff]

Yeah not worth it IMO

[earnest olive]

that's worth an assembly, cable management, and basic testing

lol

[wanton cliff]

If the client wants to change parts like that they can

It’s not like it costs any more

[earnest olive]

i don't think the copper pipes detract from the look anyways

[wanton cliff]

You won’t be looking at the build most of the time anyways

[hollow grail]

wrong

[wanton cliff]

And from the angle one usually does, it won’t be visible

[earnest olive]

well i'm not looking at it at all

it's not mine

:d

i actually look at my pc a lot when i'm just idling

it makes me happy

[wanton cliff]

The RGB in the colors of various queer flags on my build makes me happy

Keyboards are useful for this

[earnest olive]

that's a nice idea

[wanton cliff]

In fact

Hold on

Traa keyboard

Boom

[earnest olive]

i refuse to let icue run in the background

so

i only have hardware profiles

[wanton cliff]

Makes sense

Synapse and Chroma are actually surprisingly light

[earnest olive]

at least hardware profiles are still customizable

[earnest olive]

oop

[hollow grail]

wegg anger

[stoic island]

I mean

you know what's lighter

no rgb software

[wanton cliff]

True

But no trans flag

And that is simply unacceptable

[stoic island]

what

@wanton cliff you can have hardware rgb control

[earnest olive]

i don't run any rgb software in the background

despite having a ton of rgb

[stoic island]

Need a :Keychron: now >:P

[earnest olive]

luckily gigabyte rgb fusion doesn't need to be running in the background to run everything solid color

[stoic island]

Keychron keyboard has hardware button for rgb

is nice

[earnest olive]

and it doesn't start up with windows if you don't want it to

no hidden services

icue allows you to write hardware profiles to the keyboard and run them without icue running in the background

although it does have hidden services that you have to get rid of

and the hardware profiles aren't as powerful as software profiles

[wanton cliff]

Only select Razer products have hardware profiles, which is annoying as hell

And it’s their higher end stuff too

Like, you have such a damn good RGB software

Why lock one of the best features behind a much larger payment?

[earnest olive]

i do have to run g hub in the background for my mouse but that also does my programmable mouse buttons and stuff so it's not just rgb software

[wanton cliff]

I get that they are a company that wants to make buckets of money but still

It’s the quality of life things that make customers stick around

[hollow grail]

imo corsair has better software

i like steelseries the most tho

[wanton cliff]

I haven’t messed with iCue

Don’t have any Corsair products

[hollow grail]

my laptop uses icue

[wanton cliff]

Might get a headset at some point, idk

[hollow grail]

no complaints

[wanton cliff]

What laptop?

[hollow grail]

legion 7i

[wanton cliff]

Expensive

[earnest olive]

lililabs laptop when?

[wanton cliff]

My friend just got this laptop

$1600

HP Omen

[stoic island]

rip

[wanton cliff]

RIP why?

[hollow grail]

now

i sell them

[earnest olive]

that's not bad

[hollow grail]

can brand them too if u want

[earnest olive]

desktop rtx 2060 is going for $450 now

[wanton cliff]

Yeah ik

[earnest olive]

is the monitor 60hz?

[wanton cliff]

The only thing my PC has that is better is CPU clock speeds

[wanton cliff]

Idk

[earnest olive]

cause it doesn't advertise higher

[wanton cliff]

You can see the name of the product

[earnest olive]

so it's probably 60hz

that's disappointing

[hollow grail]

theyd say if it wassnt

so oof

[wanton cliff]

Oh well

[hollow grail]

hp in a nutshell

[stoic island]

I mean

iirc the Tuf A15 with 4800h+2060 was still 1200$

lemme check

[earnest olive]

send me a review sample lili

[wanton cliff]

He is coming from an Xbox so the difference between that an what you can get with an Omen is great already

[hollow grail]

tuf bad

[hollow grail]

tfw xbox can get higher fps now

[earnest olive]

I will let my 13 twitter followers know how great lililabs laptops are

[stoic island]

@hollow grail it's just below average

it's not bad

[little osprey]

Those tariffs if they stay its all the more reason to start producing here

[hollow grail]

the cooling is abysmal iirc

[wanton cliff]

Talking about the Xbox one, which barely broke 30fps in most titles

[hollow grail]

mushy keeb

subpar screen

id take an omen over it tbh

at least board is nice

[wanton cliff]

Omen cooling?

[stoic island]

damn it's out of stock

@hollow grail not actually, it's inefficient, but it does just fine

[wanton cliff]

Late 2020 in the computer market summed up in one sentence:

[hollow grail]

the new omen cooling is pretty good

[stoic island]

@wanton cliff the thing was, Tuf A15 was in stock for the entirety of late 2020 whenever I checked

[hollow grail]

imo clevo>lenovo>dell>hp>asus>tongfang

[stoic island]

@hollow grail I got a friend who has the 4800h 2060 version, thermals are just fine, noise fine too. I think the design was inefficient, but works decent enough

[hollow grail]

they just put vents nowhere for aesthetics

[stoic island]

yea

[wanton cliff]

I’ve had some really good experience with HP laptops so I had to recommend it to him

Mostly the Envy lineup

Plus I’d heard a lot of good things about Omen recently

[hollow grail]

hp is the worst big laptop brand

by a lot

[wanton cliff]

Newer ones aren’t bad at all

4700x and 16gb of RAM

For about $700

Or that’s what I got it for at least

The moment when you realize that #building-and-recc-chat is dominated mostly by us four and Vintage

[hollow grail]

its tru

[stoic island]

nah

Naed is just on an temporary exodus again

he'll be back to dominate the chat

[wanton cliff]

Honestly if I don’t get techie during the next promotion time imma be slightly pissed

[wanton cliff]

I wondered where he was

Ngl not excited for that

[stoic island]

?

Naed just goes to do work from time to time

or he's taking time off for the holidays

[wanton cliff]

Makes sense

This chat is my main source of entertainment and dopamine

I like teaching people

Oh wait

[stoic island]

I like doing things

[wanton cliff]

Gotta change my name back after my temporary ban lol

[stoic island]

my main source of entertainment is #general-chat

what

hm

[wanton cliff]

I got banned by Wegg for saying the word g*y lol

Like half an hour ago

[stoic island]

not like I haven't done that before

[wanton cliff]

Even though I’m g*y

[hollow grail]

u are technically lesbian

which is not banned

[wanton cliff]

Omega brain

Transbian

[analog pulsar]

Could 1K build a nice pc

[hollow grail]

not as much in this market tbh

[muted sluice]

When Jedi’s build their light sabers it’s like building a pc if u think about it

[wanton cliff]

In a normal climate yes

But you’ve been here long enough to know that that is not what this currently is

[analog pulsar]

Well 3070 series do you think they will stay same or go down

[steel yacht]

Is there any good b550 around 120$

[analog pulsar]

Like Ik out it stock but if I could get my hand on one then that plus cpu

But what about cpus

Is the price for them Raising

[wanton cliff]

Plenty

DS3H for $100

mATX tho

[wanton cliff]

3070 is good for a 1k budget, but personally I would go for a 3060ti and spend a little more on the CPU

Maybe a 3700x rather than a 3600, for example

[analog pulsar]

I heard 3060 has 12GB of vram

[wanton cliff]

New 3060 maybe

But those are leaks

[analog pulsar]

Was thinking Intel

[wanton cliff]

I only build AMD, so you are going to have to ask someone else. Why Intel, just out of curiosity?

[analog pulsar]

Cheaper and I think it’s time to go Intel

But mostly I am looking at dual system pc cases

[wanton cliff]

Dual system, huh?

Never done one of those before

[analog pulsar]

https://www.pcguide.com/reviews/best-dual-system-pc-cases/

[wanton cliff]

Also since when is Intel cheaper lol?

AMD has had better value for money for the past half a year

[analog pulsar]

Well the higher end cpus arnt

But I was thinking about going with just 6 core 12 thread cpus

Nothing to fancy

[wanton cliff]

And which one did you have in mind?

[analog pulsar]

Idk when Intel 11th gen comes out so

i5-10400 and R5 3600

[wanton cliff]

R5 3600 has better value IMO

[analog pulsar]

I understand

[wanton cliff]

Can’t remember the cost of the 10400 tho

At MSRP at least

[analog pulsar]

That’s why I wanna go dual system to have the advantages of both

[wanton cliff]

I don’t understand all of how dual systems work

Or how/if they share power

But I get it

You want one system with a R5 3600 and one with a 10400?

[analog pulsar]

Yea

[wanton cliff]

You know you are going to have to build one at a time?

[analog pulsar]

Yes

[wanton cliff]

Ok

[analog pulsar]

Also Intel I saw a i5 for $150

[wanton cliff]

First one, 3060Ti FE with a 3700x is what I would go for but 3070 with 3600 works similarly

[analog pulsar]

Okay

@wanton cliff what are the 3060 specs

[wanton cliff]

It is slightly better than a 2080 super

Edges just ahead

[analog pulsar]

Vram

[wanton cliff]

Faster

Same amount

8gb GDDR6 vs 8gb GDDR6X

[steel yacht]

Damn loooking for atx

[analog pulsar]

Oh

[wanton cliff]

Look around. There are plenty. Don’t know any off the top of my head tho.

[wanton cliff]

Any more questions?

[analog pulsar]

Nope not at this time

[wanton cliff]

Great

You know where to come

[steel yacht]

There is a phantom for asrock

[wanton cliff]

Link the part?

[steel yacht]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4mjNnQ/asrock-b550-phantom-gaming-4-atx-am4-motherboard-b550-phantom-gaming-4

[wanton cliff]

Seems good enough

You know, of course, that you get what you pay for

Right?

[steel yacht]

Yeah

Btw what would you use 3.1 gen 2 for

Over gen 1

[weary fog]

HEY

[wanton cliff]

What are you referring to?

USBs?

[steel yacht]

Ye

[wanton cliff]

HELLO

[wanton cliff]

Faster data transfer speeds? I honestly don’t know

[steel yacht]

So nothing rlly

[weary fog]

yes

[wanton cliff]

What do you need?

[weary fog]

usb 3.0 is usally 5.0gb per second max

[wanton cliff]

Do you have any tech related questions, Feds?

[weary fog]

no i was answering the questions above

[wanton cliff]

Alright imma dip then

Be back in a few

[steel yacht]

Btw

Can u put a 3 pin ina 4 pin

[hollow grail]

yea

[steel yacht]

Will it course any problems with a fan hub?

[stoic island]

3 pin fan connector into 4 pin fan header is fine

3 pin argb into 4 pin rgb is HELL NO

[earnest olive]

2.4 times the voltage it was designed for go brrr

[hollow grail]

omg theall evga build

[steel yacht]

Oh

So what do I need for a 3 pin argb

Just a normal 3 pin?

[uneven mist]

the one in build pics?

[hollow grail]

yea

cute

[stoic island]

3 pin argb is 5v, 4 pin rgb is 12v, I think you can see why they don't mix

[uneven mist]

lol

[steel yacht]

Yeah

So I have to get a mobo that has 3 pin 5v

Or is there 4 pins that are 5 v

[stoic island]

There are not

[steel yacht]

So what do I do?

[iron totem]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DAOKOfan/saved/zrJ7XL#view_custom_part

[steel yacht]

Find a mobo that has 3 pin 5v

[iron totem]

[stoic island]

Bleach's list is great

[wanton cliff]

Holy [EXPLETIVE REMOVED]

And yes, it has 2 Quadros

[iron totem]

Lili will do it for you while [PART OF SENTENCE REMOVED] over the hard drives lol

[iron totem]

but u go get a

oh

it isnt 1080

alr

hahha

u cant play games with nvidia quadro right?

[hollow grail]

u can

[wanton cliff]

You can

However

[steel yacht]

I would build that pc

[wanton cliff]

It’s not as good as something made specifically with gaming in mind

[hollow grail]

drivers r worse

[steel yacht]

If I had the money

[wanton cliff]

Among other things

[hollow grail]

its mostly that

[wanton cliff]

Mostly

But not all the way

[hollow grail]

the rtx 6000 is just tweaked titan rtx

[wanton cliff]

Which in turn is just weak Tesla

With video output

[iron totem]

what about

RTX 3090
8TB M.2 SSD
2x32GB ram
i9-10900k

?

how do u get

8TB

m.2 ssd

lol

[wanton cliff]

Well

That would be much better for gaming

But a hell of a lot less in terms of... well... all of it

[iron totem]

well

u get some card

made for performance

professional tools

and u go play minecraft

lmao

aa

what do you use?

@wanton cliff

[wanton cliff]

No need to ping

I’m here

[steel yacht]

Almost like no mobo have 5v 3 pin

[wanton cliff]

What do you mean about that there is what I’m trying to decifer

[hollow grail]

my server cuter

[iron totem]

oh

[wanton cliff]

Cortana should be one of those Jellyfish

Durandal, a computer like the one shown above

[hollow grail]

no those succ

[steel yacht]

Should the jrainbow thing be good

It looks like a 3 pin

[wanton cliff]

I honestly don’t know

I see 3 pins

[wanton cliff]

A jellyfish killer then

A petabyte of NVMe

[hollow grail]

lul

[wanton cliff]

Pure and simple

[hollow grail]

easy

[wanton cliff]

Nothing more, nothing less

And it will only cost about a million dollars

Better yet, how about a petabyte in high-capacity storage DIMMs?

[steel yacht]

I found the problem

Thx for trying to help guys

Any of y’all ever seen the ITX TRX40 mobo?

[marble hedge]

Nice list

I gave my dad a i7 9700k @ 5.2 with a 1650 super, my mom I modified my old i7 4770 with a 1060

Those are the 2 builds missing

Really mods that. Builds

[pliant lake]

That exists?

[wanton cliff]

Yep

Sorta

I think

[pliant lake]

Lol

[marble hedge]

My next step is upgrading my friends rigs

I should start streaming or something though. 3090 feels like such a... waste without using it

[pliant lake]

It is, don’t buy unless you want the best or you’ll actually use it to its full potential

[marble hedge]

I mean

I'm at the peak of the mountain rn

And I promised Eve she would have the best 30 series....

[wanton cliff]

Gib

Promise me best 30 series

Please

[marble hedge]

Eve deserves the promise I made when I built her

[hollow grail]

sara boutta simp for u

[marble hedge]

I mean those are wifey wishes lmfao

[hollow grail]

[marble hedge]

Eve is the all EVGA build btw

[wanton cliff]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I want to build a new pc so bad

All specced out and everything

[marble hedge]

Sounds like fun I wonder who I will give my next build to

[wanton cliff]

...

...

.............

[marble hedge]

I gave 4 people computers last year and my daughter got a 9750h laptop with 16gb ram, 2.25 tb storage and 1660ti.

[hollow grail]

niceeeeee

[marble hedge]

My ex ain't gonna spoil her so

[hollow grail]

good on u for being charitable

[marble hedge]

Oh I didn't stop at just the laptop

Got her a corsair headset, 330w brick, rosewill fan stand and hp omen mouse

Kid got the works

[wanton cliff]

Lucky ass kid

[marble hedge]

Right?

Her mother be jealous

[wanton cliff]

All I have is this damn 5700xt which can’t even open Streamlabs OBS without BSODing

[marble hedge]

Ooof

Yeah I don't touch and graphics yet

[wanton cliff]

AMD GPUs themselves are good

Drivers are [EXPLETIVE DELETED] tho

[marble hedge]

Truth

[hollow grail]

dont lol

[marble hedge]

So write better drivers yourself

:P

[wanton cliff]

Lol

Easier said then done

By the time I’m done, the cards will be a decade obsolete

[marble hedge]

Its... nvm

[wanton cliff]

And the code will be spaghetti

[marble hedge]

Not wrong

I have 2 people that I know that are less fortunate than you though so

They take future upgrades

[wanton cliff]

Fiiiiiine

That’s fair

[marble hedge]

They are using a 560 and a 570

[wanton cliff]

Both solid cards

At least the drivers arent doodoo

[marble hedge]

They need upgrades badly by comparison

[wanton cliff]

Yeah true

[gloomy herald]

HD3450 is a good upgrade

[wanton cliff]

Agreed

Damn good graphics

[marble hedge]

Lmao

[wanton cliff]

Way ahead of all of the competition

[gloomy herald]

Actually better than 3090

[marble hedge]

I'm like... crap rn though

[wanton cliff]

Truth

[hollow grail]

lol

[marble hedge]

I bought my last upgrade

Like...

What can I improve?

I guess I can get peripherals

Like a camera

A blue yeti for style points

I mean...

[wanton cliff]

Wave3

[marble hedge]

Thoughts on this?

[wanton cliff]

Better than yeti

And more features

[marble hedge]

I'm not about features here

My FTW3 3090 should say that

[wanton cliff]

It has extremely high audio quality and a ton of quality of life features for relatively cheap

Plus it’s from Elgato, a very reputable company

[marble hedge]

Ew

Screw that cat lmao

xD

lmao xD Sorry everything is punny to me

So I named the build Eve Gardner (my last name) anyone get it?

[wanton cliff]

Eve

Like Adam and Eve

Garden of Eden

[marble hedge]

First build

You got one of the layers

[wanton cliff]

Your genesis

[marble hedge]

Eve Eve Gardner

EVe GArdner

EVGA

Hehe

I'm a dork

[wanton cliff]

And also your genesis

Clever tho

[marble hedge]

Yes yes true

Really?

[hollow grail]

lmao thats clever as hell

[marble hedge]

Most people gimme crap

[hollow grail]

my pc names r silly

[marble hedge]

Feels good to be validated

The mini itx was named Baby Beast

[hollow grail]

hehe

[marble hedge]

The white and rainbow is Opalessence

[hollow grail]

my main baby is named sanctuary because it holds a lot of my vms

[wanton cliff]

My names are poetic too

Take the Unyielding Hierophant for example

3800x, 5700xt

A solid build

Failed because of massive software issues

Like the Unyielding Hierophant from Halo

[marble hedge]

Nice

Also

[hollow grail]

lol

[marble hedge]

@hollow grail you could probably kidnap me and I would come willingly with that collection heck

[hollow grail]

lmaooooooo

yeah i love my babies

sanctuary is by far my best sys tho

[marble hedge]

I have so many tests I would want to do @.@

[wanton cliff]

lili and I are planning another series of computers

[hollow grail]

not to mention all the lililabs vps instances i have

and all the dedicated servers i sell

[wanton cliff]

Durandal and Cortana, the sword and the shield

[hollow grail]

uwu

[wanton cliff]

Cortana is going to be a extremely powerful processing machine

And Durandal is going to be storage utilizing a metric [EXPLETIVE DELETED]ton of these

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/77199/sabrent-rocketq-battleship-ssd-teased-with-64tb-at-pcie-4-0-speeds/index.html

[marble hedge]

As I am just 6 months of heavy research in?

Data download rates

[hollow grail]

[marble hedge]

No no

I want to perform them myself

And that's one example

[hollow grail]

lmao u just wanna see bug number go up?

[marble hedge]

I'm lost rn because like
