wd hdds are the best

#

but in general go the ssd path

wanton cliff
#

WD is more consumer stuff, Toshiba is closer to enterprise, so I guess you are right

drifting garnet
#

Aren't Seagate barracudas ok for mechanical drives?

wanton cliff
#

No

drifting garnet
#

huh

small osprey
#

smr

wanton cliff
#

Not with WD Blue in existence at least

drifting garnet
#

oh

#

thx for the info.

small osprey
#

theyre smr drives

#

after their cache fills up the write becomes reallllly slow

wanton cliff
#

Why pay for barracudas when you can go with WD Blues for the same price, for more quality?

drifting garnet
#

ok thank you, never knew that.

small osprey
#

np

wanton cliff
#

It’s what we are here for

small osprey
#

||but im not a techie yet lol||

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

oh btw if the drive has 64mb of cache its not an smr drive and should be fast (for an hdd at least)

drifting garnet
#

People here are also the reason I didn't buy a NZXT H510i. Some guy on reddit told me he idles at 60 c so I am very happy this server exists.

small osprey
#

yes lol nzxt cases suck

#

they’re a cooker lol

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

Pro tip

drifting garnet
#

yes that is so true

muted patio
#

The more you talk about it, the less likely it is to happen. 😉

wanton cliff
#

So if someone is wrong then you might buy it before it is too late

small osprey
#

so ill just do some subtle advertising

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

well he is a mod

#

so probably

drifting garnet
#

I just wonder, if that guy is idling at 60 degrees, what the hell is he getting when he puts a load on the CPU?

small osprey
#

100+ kek

muted patio
#

Mod ASST

#

I think the full mods handle that

small osprey
#

which is why you shouldnt buy nzxt cases

muted patio
#

and Mike

small osprey
#

hm

drifting garnet
#

Damn

wanton cliff
drifting garnet
#

I have never seen my CPU over 68 with a stock cooler.

#

Normally it doesn't get that hot.

small osprey
#

bc good airflow

#

i wanna be cool like linus and have 0 degrees idle

wanton cliff
#

My friend got a H510i Elite peepoSadSip

#

Can’t return it because COVID

small osprey
#

why didnt u talk them outta it lol

wanton cliff
#

He got it from MicroCenter

small osprey
#

oh f

drifting garnet
#

So he has a heater at his desk?

wanton cliff
#

Yeah

#

Pretty much

drifting garnet
#

actually

wanton cliff
#

He hadn’t built it yet

#

Gonna out a 3070 in it

#

Asking me to build it with him

drifting garnet
#

oh god

brittle tinsel
#

whats the problem with NZXT Kraken Z73? alot of people say its good alot say its not

small osprey
#

thermal throttling has entered the chat

small osprey
#

arctic liquid freezer ii is much better bang for buck

brittle tinsel
#

what would be a good, non rgb alternative?

drifting garnet
#

I always hear that a lot of there stuff is overpriced.

small osprey
#

and one of the best aios

muted patio
#

They just like the screen on the pump

small osprey
#

^^

#

its mainly for the screen tbh

muted patio
#

EK 240mm AIO

#

is RIGHT behind the freezer II

#

and less expensive

small osprey
#

@brittle tinsel arctic freezer ii 280 is what i recommend

drifting garnet
#

I can just tape an ipod touch on the cooler and bam, lcd display!

stoic island
#

if yall like high numbers

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

kek

stoic island
#

watch your temps soar with prime95 smallfft :D

brittle tinsel
#

this part here also scares me when down to amd, I have no idea what its talking about.
Warning!Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.

woeful agate
#

I FIXED MY RAM PROBLEm

#

niice

stoic island
#

some need bios update, that's why boards supporting bios flashback is nice

muted patio
#

Gotta update the BIOS before you install 5000 series CPU

#

Make sure the motherboard has Flashabck

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

I mean, they ALL need the update. It's just places like Microcenter will do it for you

muted patio
small osprey
#

before u use

muted patio
#

x570 doesn't unless you go high end

drifting garnet
#

does anyone have an ipod touch so I can have an LCD display on my cooler?

stoic island
#

Some come shipped with the correct update, depending on manufacturering date

small osprey
#

the motherboard in that list i send had flashback

muted patio
#

The update was just released last month

stoic island
brittle tinsel
#

I dont have microcenter and would prefer to do it in house ,1 reason I like intel

muted patio
#

I highly doubt any on the shelf are going to come with it

stoic island
#

@muted patio forgot the name, the bios that supported zen 3 came months ago

muted patio
#

Mmmmm

stoic island
#

agesa 1.0.8

#

like

#

4 months ago or something like that

muted patio
#

Every single one I've checked

small osprey
#

yes that one

muted patio
#

has listed December for the New CPU support BIOS

stoic island
#

this isn't some far off random board that got it early

#

I always like aorus elite ax

#

lemme go find some other popular boards

muted patio
#

Yeah but literally all the other ones I've checked in here have been November/December when people ask

drifting garnet
#

Oh are we talking about bios updates on MSI? I am gonna have nightmares tonight after what happened to me a week and a half ago.

muted patio
#

I'd still say plan on a board with Flashback if you're going 5000 series

wanton cliff
#

Sorry

muted patio
#

I think all the Gigabyte B550's do too

stoic island
drifting garnet
#

Not saying you shouldn't buy an MSI board.

#

Im saying that

muted patio
#

What board is that though?

drifting garnet
#

DONT USE DRAGON CENTER TO UPDATE YOUR BIOS

muted patio
#

Because it doesn't list CPU support

#

Which is sus

stoic island
wanton cliff
#

So yeah, I would go with that one

stoic island
#

@drifting garnet doing anything with bios through software is sucky

muted patio
#

Which doesn't have flashback, BTW

stoic island
#

Dragon center is just especially sucky

drifting garnet
stoic island
#

anyways point is agesa 1.0.8 came out a while ago, and that supports 5000 series

#

@muted patio you might've been looking for 1.1.0

small osprey
#

lol

stoic island
#

which gives the "full" support, and released like launch day of zen 3

muted patio
#

@stoic island Yet two onths later they list New CPU support
Version 3001
2020/12/0819.98 MBytes
TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) BIOS 3001
"1. New CPU support
2. Add a ReSize BAR shortcut for AMD SAM support"

#

Lol

stoic island
#

I think Asus was just late

muted patio
#

I get that

#

But

stoic island
#

or lazy

little osprey
#

What is a good voltage for a gaming pc?

muted patio
#

Lazy?

#

They listed all the other things that updated

stoic island
#

I mean

#

look at gigabyte

little osprey
#

Power supply unit

muted patio
#

but not CPU support and two months later

stoic island
#

they took the time to say "new cpu support" by AGESA 1.0.8

wanton cliff
#

These numbers are too many and too numerous for me

drifting garnet
#

I thought I only had a month of Nitro but idk

muted patio
#

If I had a 5000 series I'd test that BIOS

drifting garnet
#

Still have it.

muted patio
#

Just to be sure

#

But I don't lol

drifting garnet
#

nvm

#

I think its gone

wanton cliff
#

I should be getting one soon, I’ll do it myself

#

A 5800x that is

drifting garnet
#

Wait I think the nitro boost runs out tomorrow

wanton cliff
#

You can check

drifting garnet
#

It says in the emojis that my perks will end tomorrow.

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

f

drifting garnet
#

Yep, it does.

wanton cliff
#

Cool

#

I don’t think I have $10

#

Not on the debit card that that is connected to at least

brittle tinsel
#

if amd is all that much better than why does shroud use i9-9900k?

stoic island
#

My nitro is going to last another like 5 years

brittle tinsel
#

hes the ultimate tryhard and uses intel

stoic island
#

@brittle tinsel because at the time of 9900k, AMD wasn't better for gaming

wanton cliff
drifting garnet
#

Goodnight cya tomorrow.

wanton cliff
#

Why isn’t he using a 3990x?

#

That’s the question we should be asking

stoic island
#

at the time 9900k vs 2700x was easy pick if you were only going for gaming

brittle tinsel
#

so the i9 5900x is the better cpu of the groupd

stoic island
#

remember, 9900k was 2018

#

uhm?

#

5900x is an AMD chip

small osprey
#

oh is that what he’s confusing

#

ryzen 9 5900x

brittle tinsel
#

r9

#

whoops

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

is better than both r9 3900x and i9 10900k

#

5950x actually perfs worse than 5900x in games

wanton cliff
#

Really?

small osprey
#

not worth unless u need the cores

muted patio
#

slower single core, yes

stoic island
#

I thought within margin of error for games

small osprey
#

but i dont think its worth it

wanton cliff
#

TFW WiFi is being slow right now

small osprey
#

for games

stoic island
#

could always disable ccx if you're worried about boosting, but yea, 5900x if you have no need of 5950x

wanton cliff
#

Just get a 3990x kekw

small osprey
#

no

muted patio
#

5900x has higher base clock but 100 mhz lower boost than the 5950x

brittle tinsel
#

someone said the 3080 was 700 but i cant find em anything shy of 1200

muted patio
#

I could see it going either way

small osprey
#

well thing is 5950x a lot more expensive

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

700$ msrp

stoic island
#

after US tarrifs, they're about 800USD MSRP

still roostBOT
#
Broslayszombies44#8018 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

wait it didn’t get deleted

wanton cliff
brittle tinsel
#

hmm

wanton cliff
#

Odd

small osprey
#

...

stoic island
muted patio
#

Even the high end cards MSRP has gone up a lot

brittle tinsel
#

seems legit

small osprey
#

yea

#

go find best buy restocks and pray

wanton cliff
#

$2000 3090 KEK

small osprey
#

maybe you’ll get one

stoic island
#

or wegg

small osprey
#

yes

muted patio
#

Yeah, didn't wegg roll out a que system today?

stoic island
#

lottery iirc

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

Ah

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

lottery?

brittle tinsel
#

even bestbuy or newegg is upwards of 900, I dont have that kind of budget

stoic island
#

Yea, should be nice

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

do they pick random ppl

#

oh k

#

queue is better imo

wanton cliff
#

Eh

#

Depends on who you ask

small osprey
#

but lottery random

#

queue is like who got there first

stoic island
#

bots can get in queue

small osprey
#

so better

stoic island
#

so uh

wanton cliff
#

With the queue system you know when you are getting one but with a lottery... well, it’s a lottery.

stoic island
#

yea

small osprey
#

hm true

stoic island
#

I like lotto better

small osprey
#

harder to get from lottery

stoic island
#

because it's the "no matter how many bots they stuff in there, if you're lucky, you get one"

small osprey
#

true

stoic island
#

it's a very anti-bot measure

#

it's not a very good way of making sure people get cards

wanton cliff
#

Unfortunate that we need anti-bot measures

small osprey
#

mm true

stoic island
#

imo people are just calling out bots because they're salty of the high demand with low supply

muted patio
#

MOstly that

stoic island
#

So I would prefer queue for actually getting a card, but anti-bot measures to make people happy

wanton cliff
#

You saying bots aren’t one of the main problems here?

muted patio
#

Have you seen the freaking discords for stock?

#

it ain't bots LOL

brittle tinsel
#

whats the difference between b550 and am4?

muted patio
#

AM4 is CPU socket

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff Like it's a problem, ofc, I won't deny that, but it's not as big as people claim it to be

muted patio
#

B550 is Chipset

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

Every day people are like "bots are taking all the cards"

#

People seem like they just don't consider low stock and high demands

muted patio
#

People are taking all the cards

stoic island
#

Annoys me tbh

small osprey
#

mm

stoic island
#

but anyways even with stock discords, prices are high asf rn

small osprey
#

i could probably get one from best buy if i had the money

stoic island
#

like 1000+ for 3080 for the past week or so

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

so somehow i need to scalp up $400-700

stoic island
#

lol

#

you mean

#

cough it up

wanton cliff
#

Yeah... sure...

small osprey
#

nah

#

im gonna sell my gtx 460 for $300

#

then sell my 9800gt for $200

#

then buy a 3060ti

wanton cliff
#

I’d like to see you try kek

small osprey
#

i def could tbh

wanton cliff
#

Why do all the characters in this show have Keychron keyboards

small osprey
#

bc they’re sponsored

wanton cliff
#

They aren’t tho

small osprey
#

or bc keychron is just good

wanton cliff
#

It’s very well hidden

#

It’s a political thriller from Netflix. It isn’t sponsored, I can guarantee that.

small osprey
#

hm

#

idk then

wanton cliff
#

What’s the deal behind the name Ssenti?

#

Just out of curiosity’s sake

#

@small osprey

small osprey
#

idk tbh

#

just randomly thought of it one day lol

#

and i wanted to use as my mc username

#

but senti with one s was taken

#

so i added another

#

and i like how it sounds so yea

wanton cliff
#

Better with another s tbh

small osprey
#

mm

#

looks better

wanton cliff
#

I’ve been some cringe name Titan Master on everything for years

stoic island
#

my name is what it is

small osprey
#

titanmaster57

#

very original

#

kek

stoic island
#

I can use it in most places without people already using it

small osprey
#

true

stoic island
#

tho a surprising amount of people use it

#

like siege someone had the name before I got to it

#

so I'm NotMr1111 on seg

wanton cliff
#

Someone keeps taking TitanMaster and Titan Master

#

Idk who tho

#

Hence the 57

stoic island
#

I've prob made someone mad by taking mr1111

#

who even thinks of this name other than me >:(

wanton cliff
#

There are about a billion gamers in the world

#

And only so many combinations of different characters

stoic island
#

it makes callouts a royal pain for my teammates xD

#

they call me many names

wanton cliff
#

Whenever I try to pronounce your name in my head I think “111” as in one-eleven, like the Fallout 4 vault

stoic island
#

ye

#

People sometimes call me mister

#

sometimes one-one-one-one

#

or just eleven

#

or eleven-eleven

#

or one thousand one hundred and eleven

small osprey
#

i usually think mr 111

#

even tho there are 4 1s lol

wanton cliff
#

How tf do you spell syllable

#

Like that, right?

small osprey
#

like that

wanton cliff
#

Anyways

#

Yeah

small osprey
#

lol

wanton cliff
#

Too many syllables

#

Ssenti - 2

#

Titan - 2

small osprey
#

sara is just one

#

wait no its 2

wanton cliff
#

Mr1111 - 6

small osprey
#

depends on how u say it

wanton cliff
#

サラ

small osprey
#

japanese?

wanton cliff
#

If you go by how the Japanese say it, 2 syllables

small osprey
#

hm

wanton cliff
#

Is that Hiragana?

#

Thought it would do Katakana tbh but I guess not

small osprey
#

你好

#

idk lol

wanton cliff
#

What does that say

small osprey
#

it says hello

#

in chinese

wanton cliff
#

Ah

#

Can’t read Kanji yet

small osprey
#

how would i even write ssenti in chinese

stoic island
#

ha

small osprey
#

森森题

#

like that maybe

#

idk

wanton cliff
#

Japanese and Chinese both use the same Kanji, but Japanese has Hiragana and Katakana as well

stoic island
#

no ssenti

wanton cliff
#

Was I told wrong?

stoic island
#

I don't pay attention to japanese :P

wanton cliff
#

Oh

#

Thought you were referring to me

small osprey
#

idk i just typed ssenti on my chinese keyboard

wanton cliff
#

Kyojin

#

Don’t know how to hiragana that but that’s my display name in Japanese

#

Titan

small osprey
#

丁元皓

#

my real chinese name

wanton cliff
#

Are you Chinese?

small osprey
#

doesnt literally translate to my english name

#

yes

wanton cliff
#

Imagine being Asian

small osprey
#

kek

wanton cliff
#

And actually knowing a second alphabet

small osprey
#

i dont tbh

#

only a little lol

#

but chinese food is so good

wanton cliff
#

Japanese food is better

small osprey
#

not enough spicy

#

i love spicy food

#

its so good

wanton cliff
#

Wasabi?

#

Ginger?

small osprey
#

ew no

#

those arent spicy those are

wanton cliff
#

Weirdo

small osprey
#

hm idk how to say

#

wasabi is ok

wanton cliff
#

I know what you are trying to convey

small osprey
#

but i hate ginger

wanton cliff
#

Wasabi is just... different

small osprey
#

its like ur mouth is buzzing kinda

wanton cliff
#

Yeah

#

Still painful in a good way like spice is though

small osprey
#

i dont really like

#

but china has different spicy styles for different regions

wanton cliff
#

True

small osprey
#

like hunan, sichuian

wanton cliff
#

China spice is good

small osprey
#

however u spell that idk

wanton cliff
#

Should we take this to special chat since this is not about computers?

small osprey
#

sure

brittle tinsel
#

how can I tell if this has flashback or whatever its called?

MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard

muted patio
#

It does

#

Go there, scroll down to back Panel Ports

#

Flash BIOS button

#

#6

stoic island
#

basically, buttons on rear io

wanton cliff
#

I would get TUF B550 but that’s just me

stoic island
#

OH NO THIS IS TERRIABLE

brittle tinsel
#

what is

stoic island
#

AORUS ELITE AX SOLD OUT AND THE LISTING IS 265$ WITH 100$ SHIPPING

brittle tinsel
#

tuf or tomahawk

#

oh

brittle tinsel
#

unrelated

stoic island
#

it's a really good board

#

I would've reccomended it

#

160-170$

muted patio
#

B550 TUF then

#

isn't it the same price?

#

$160

wanton cliff
#

Has flashback too

stoic island
wanton cliff
#

And ASUS BIOS

stoic island
#

oh yea fitz gave me a vrm lesson last night that I haven't watched yet

#

might need to do that later

wanton cliff
#

What, a video?

#

Mind sending?

small osprey
#

bios flash

stoic island
#

this is the slightly more advanced stuff

#

@wanton cliff if you want a good video on basics, buildzoid made one

white oyster
#

Is 4x8 better than 2x16

stoic island
#

no good testing yet

white oyster
#

Ram

stoic island
#

on consumer dual channel boards, safe to assume close enough

wanton cliff
#

Ryzen 5000 prefers quad channel despite the board but anything before that doesn’t

small osprey
#

no real difference

#

does it?

#

hm

wanton cliff
#

Some Intel boards like quad channel, some don’t

white oyster
#

So would a 550

wanton cliff
#

B550? With which CPU?

white oyster
#

Ye. And I'm trying to figure that out

muted patio
#

Keep in mind

#

that won't leave you room to upgrade

#

start with 2 sticks

wanton cliff
#

True

muted patio
#

leave room to upgrade later

#

The speed benefit is very negligible'

white oyster
#

Im getting my cpu, gpu, and graphics card from a friend

wanton cliff
#

Do you know which ones they are?

white oyster
#

And I'm not gonna go past 32 gb ram

#

No

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff we don't have enough testing on it

#

GN promised a video soon(tm), but not out yet

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

all we know is 4x8 > 2x8 on zen 3

#

nothing about 4x8 vs 2x16

white oyster
#

Sorry lol

#

Never built a pc before

stoic island
#

well, there might've been decent 4x8 vs 2x16 testing, I just haven't seen any good ones yet

wanton cliff
#

GPU is short for Graphical Processing Unit

brittle tinsel
#

is there anything cheaper than 3080 but better than 3060 ti? 3080 is a big gap to my budget

stoic island
#

GPU technically only talks about the chip on the card, while graphics card talks about the whole card, but they're used interchangeably when talking about graphics cards.

#

3070 exists

brittle tinsel
#

I heard the 3060ti was better than the 3070 though, no?

gusty abyss
#

if it were better than the 3070 they would have called it the 3070ti

muted patio
#

For the money, yes

#

only 10% perofrmance difference or so

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

Yea price to perf 3060ti is better, but performance wise 3070 is a good bit better

brittle tinsel
#

so if you had to choose @stoic island would you pick 3060ti or 3070?

wanton cliff
#

I would choose 3070

stoic island
#

3070 ignoring budget

muted patio
#

I chose 3070

brittle tinsel
#

all I need to know.

stoic island
#

if 3070 fits in the budget, always 3070

brittle tinsel
#

it fits way better than a 3080

stoic island
#

My philosophy is always "get the best GPU you can afford"

#

Well, as long as the rest of the system is functional

#

can't have cardboard box

brittle tinsel
#

what games even use more than 6gb vram anyway?

wanton cliff
#

My philosophy is ‘Make the gpu around half the system’

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

doesn't msfs2020 at 4k max settings creep close to like 7-8gb

gusty abyss
#

plenty do, especially at high res

stoic island
#

anyways

#

it's not worth worrying over if you're not gonna go 4k

#

1440p ain't as bad

brittle tinsel
#

I play everything medium to low 1080p, Im not a graphics enthusiast just like to play with good fps

#

I have 1080p monitors anyway so 4k is off the table

#

plus I dont play VR

#

so seems like the 3070 is right up my alley

muted patio
#

Then save the money and go 3060TI

#

3070 is more 1440p, 3060 TI is amazeballs 1080p performance

brittle tinsel
#

I use the gpu encoded when streaming and recording so wouldnt the 3070 work better for that?

gusty abyss
#

that barely affects your performance either way

wanton cliff
#

Speaking of, Ray Tracing is amazing too

#

On both the cards

#

If you care about that

brittle tinsel
#

I may go with the 3070, it looks like it has 8gb vram

gusty abyss
#

he just said he cares about fps kekw

muted patio
#

So does the 3060

#

Up to you, either will be fine

wanton cliff
#

BRB

brittle tinsel
#

I thought the 3060ti had 6?

muted patio
#

Nope, 8

nvm they the same, the 3060 ti has 75MHz faster clock speed though

gusty abyss
#

and fewer cores

muted patio
#

That will depend entirely on the card TBH

#

They also don't list boost clock

brittle tinsel
#

omg this is all way to confusing for trying to build a first pc

muted patio
#

my 3070 will do 2 GHZ lol

stoic island
muted patio
#

Well

#

Pick the card you l ike the most and can afford and buy it

#

that's the wasy way

#

3070 OR 3060TI will work just fine for you

brittle tinsel
#

I think im just going the 3070, its only $80 more

stoic island
#

heh, tariffs

little osprey
#

is there any way to backorder those cards in us ?

#

🤔

stoic island
#

EVGA does a backordering thing

little osprey
#

oh already 1 month 🙄

white oyster
#

Ok, I'm getting the ryzen 5

#

Would 4 x 8 or 2 x 16 work better with that

wanton cliff
#

Which Ryzen 5

#

3500, 3600, 3600x, 5600x?

white oyster
#

3600 probably

wanton cliff
#

So 2x16 most likely

little osprey
#

yep its dual channell

white oyster
#

Any cheaper 2x16 ram

Ballistix is out of stock everywhere last I checked

In the show I’m watching: “He bought those computers ($500k worth) for their processing power. If he networks them all together, he has a super computer. Something like this would generate massive amounts of heat, we are talking hundreds of thousands of Kilowatts”

There are a few problems with this. The first is the thing about heat. A network of computers in a warehouse (this is in Chicago) with good airflow will not generate more heat than one of Lili’s server rooms.

The second thing is the ‘hundreds of thousands of kilowatts’ remark. This was made in 2016, when a powerful computer produced en masse could have around a 1000w PSU at most. That’s one kilowatt. Let’s say every computer was worth a grand. That’s 500 computers (far less are shown in the show). Meaning 500 kilowatts at most. A Far Cry from ‘hundreds of thousands of Kilowatts’.

One more thing: all of the computers shown were Dell Optiplexes. They didn’t even bother to scrape the logo off the side. I don’t need to say more.

This is a copypasta I drew up myself, just a moment ago

Based off of a line from the show Designated Survivor

#

A 650w power supply is good right?

wanton cliff
#

Depends on the parts

#

What GPU, CPU?

white oyster
#

Well the power calculator thing said I was only gonna need like 200-250, but I couldn't find the cpu im getting

wanton cliff
#

...do you know which CPU that is?

white oyster
#

No

#

And it was 167 watts

#

Its not anything crazy

wanton cliff
#

Seasonic Focus Gold or Phanteks AMP

white oyster
#

I think i was getting a 650

wanton cliff
#

650w on either of those would be fine

white oyster
#

Gtx650?

wanton cliff
#

Oh my

#

That’s... quite the graphics card

white oyster
#

Is it?

rich helm
#

Not really

white oyster
#

Maybe it was a 550

little osprey
#

just ordered 5500xt for 220 uh

rich helm
#

Does it even exist

wanton cliff
#

By ‘quite the graphics card’ I mean it is [EXPLETIVE DELETED] and you need an upgrade very soon

white oyster
#

Nkpe

wanton cliff
#

Wdym ‘nope’?

white oyster
#

No

#

Not you

#

I dont even think it exists

#

A 550

rich helm
#

So you have no graphics card

#

I’m confused

wanton cliff
#

RX 550 or GTX 550?

white oyster
#

Gtx 550

wanton cliff
#

That’s even worse

rich helm
#

@wanton cliff your status is epic

I haven’t watched the anime because I don’t have Netflix but I’ve probably listened to that song 100+ times

#

It’s my favorite song

white oyster
#

Im 99% sure it was a 670 or 680

The English version of the chorus translates to ‘this was all a cruel angels thesis from the start’

The other 2 English ones on there are not even close in quality

wanton cliff

Agreed

wanton cliff

Not my Newegg nickname

white oyster
#

What would some budget gpus be

#

Like below 300

wanton cliff
#

Hmmmm

#

Perhaps a 2070 or something like that once the used market becomes normal

#

But right now

#

Nothing below $300 exists right now

white oyster
#

Yeah I say 650s for 200 thats why I was confused

#

Do I need nice fans or can I cheap out on that

wanton cliff
#

Depends

#

What CPU cooler do you have?

white oyster
#

Cooler master hyper 212 rgb sf120

wanton cliff
#

Ehh

#

You can get some cheap Noctua Redux fans

white oyster

Cpu cooler or just the regular fans

wanton cliff

Case fans

white oyster

Ok

muted patio
#

Post it

heavy marsh
#

sure

cloud depot
#

i think this is it

muted patio
#

Need to make it public in the settings. uncheck the private box

heavy marsh
#

its private my guy

cloud depot
#

i9 think i did it

heavy marsh
#

i9 what gen?

muted patio
#

New link?

muted patio
#

128 GB of ram?

cloud depot
#

its why i am here do i really need that much

muted patio
#

No

cloud depot
#

i will have a bourt 4k for this

muted patio
#

32 Gb absolute max

heavy marsh
#

what u gonna be doing on this pc exactly?

#

3070 isnt the absolute best for 4k tbh

cloud depot
#

i dont want 4k

heavy marsh
#

try and get a 3080

muted patio
#

They have

#

4K to spend lol

heavy marsh
#

oh 4k price

white oyster
#

You'll never need more ram

heavy marsh
#

lmao

deft geyser
#

My first build,before cable management

heavy marsh
#

32 gb dual channel best ram 4000mhz cl16/18

heavy marsh
muted patio
#

Yeah just bump the ram down

#

32 GB max

#

The power supply is a bit too large

#

Maybe a Seasonic Focus Gold 650/750

#

Or a Phanteks AMP 650/750

cloud depot
#

i did that because i never wanted to worry about it

#

honestly

heavy marsh
#

also change the 2tb hdd into a 1/2tb sata ssd

muted patio
#

750 will run a 3080 no problem

#

They already have an NVME

#

Platter fine for large storage

heavy marsh
#

i guess

cloud depot
#

can u post a link for recommended ram

heavy marsh
#

gskill and corsair are pretty good

cloud depot
#

ok thank you

heavy marsh
#

also dont get 4 stick ram

#

its slower than two stick

muted patio
#

Does intel really need 4000 mhz?

#

SPendy

heavy marsh
#

they got a 4k budget

#

i mean

muted patio
#

I mean, can it utilize it though

#

WOuld it benefit from it

brittle tinsel
heavy marsh
#

should they make a ryzen system?

cloud depot
#

i dont want amd i want intel

muted patio
#

Most people using 3200 mhz for 10900k

pliant lake
heavy marsh
#

my guy amd sometimes out performs intel

cloud depot
#

actually no. i just understand how to deal with intel bs

muted patio
#

So

brittle tinsel
#

@heavy marsh aint no need to hate on somebody for having a preference

heavy marsh
#

in the end they're both cpus

muted patio
#

But it's not on a canada site

cloud depot
#

yeah i also dont care about rgb. preformance

deft geyser
#

I prefer what my wallet prefers

cloud depot
#

if that helps

heavy marsh
#

there is no difference between amd bs and intel bs unless overclocking

muted patio
#

ok, that makes it easier yeah

#

less expensive too

pliant lake
#

intel BS and AMD BS are the same, AMD has gained a large market share and is widely supported. Dont be afraid to pick the better performer

deft geyser
cloud depot
muted patio
#

Ease up guys

heavy marsh
#

its like how people stick to apple even though android already does what apple just started doing

muted patio
#

Just help them find parts

deft geyser
#

I'm just making jokes

muted patio
#

I know but they aren't going over well lol

#

I'm an AMD guy too but if someone wants Intel, we get them Intel

heavy marsh
#

get a ryzen 9 my guy

white oyster
#

Wth is he doing on this computer

muted patio
#

4K budget

#

we going to trim a bit though

cloud depot
#

by by intel bs i mean i understand how to use intel better

white oyster
#

Ah

muted patio
#

I mean, just change the ram out for the kit I posted

#

and send

cloud depot
#

this is my first build

muted patio
#

It'll all work and perform well

heavy marsh
muted patio
#

1080p or 1440p

You could get a thread ripper

heavy marsh
muted patio
#

wait what? How did we get to $4400 LOL

#

It was like, 3400 before?

cloud depot
#

because the ram didnt have a price

muted patio
#

OH

#

You have two sets of ram in ther elol

white oyster
#

Why does he need that much ram

muted patio
#

Get rid of the 4000 mhz kit

heavy marsh
#

get a lian li lancool ii mesh

cloud depot
#

i can swing a little. i want to keep i close to 4k but i can go to 5k

muted patio
#

yeah but you have 2 kits of ram in there

#

you are getting pricing all wrong

muted patio
#

That's the CA in the first part of the link lol

#

No wonder prices so high!

cloud depot
#

2950.77

muted patio
#

Try and find this kit of ram on partpicker: BL2K16G32C16U4B

#

no RGB

cloud depot
#

fixed it so sorry

muted patio
#

should be cheaper

heavy marsh
#

a 900 dollar pc in usa is around 1.2k or 1.3k in canada

heavy marsh
#

🥲

muted patio
#

Yeah, that works too

#

Prices look better

#

Gonna be a beast for games and such

cloud depot
#

yeah alot

#

yup

heavy marsh
#

is windows 10 pro worth it?

muted patio

#

IT?

cloud depot
#

IT yes information technology

heavy marsh
#

wait isnt that udimm?

muted patio
#

No

heavy marsh
#

or i might be thinking of another thing

muted patio
#

Ya, that's DIMM ram

#

I'm tempted to buy that now to replace my poopy Gskill

cloud depot
#

so swaped ram to the callistix. what else can i do with this buget

muted patio
#

Monitors?

#

KB, Mouse, headphones?

cloud depot
#

seperate buget

muted patio
#

Oh

#

I mean

cloud depot
#

4k just for pc tower

muted patio
#

1080p monitors?

cloud depot
#

if that helps more

muted patio
#

1440P?

celest horizon
#

Decent dual rank rev.e for $148

#

Given current prices

muted patio
#

Yes!

#

I'm tempted to buy lol

celest horizon
#

I mean, similar stuff was $100 just 6 months ago

muted patio
#

Oh nevermind

#

it's slow

#

I need 3600-3800

celest horizon
#

I had the worse bin, the 3000cl15 and I did 3800 cl14 with it

heavy marsh
#

maybe get a cheaper aio?

muted patio
#

I mean, just because you CAN spend 4k doesn't mean you need to

cloud depot
#

do i need 3600 or is 3200 ok

muted patio
#

3200 is fine for you

#

What resolution are the monitors?

cloud depot
#

what is the differance

muted patio
#

AMD likes faster ram

#

Intel is kinda meh with ram speed

#

I have AMD so need faster ram

cloud depot
#

my curranct on connected to my laptop is 144htz i want to get i better one and use this as second

celest horizon
#

Just run with 3200mhz and if/when you care, look into going from xmp to manual

muted patio
#

What resolution though?

#

1080p?

#

1440p/2k?

#

Yeah I have a 32 gig 3600 Gskill kit right now

cloud depot
#

yes because thats the max my 1070 laptop gpu can support

muted patio
#

MIght try and OC it this weekend since it's Hynix C die

heavy marsh
#

with 1080p performance will be through the roof

muted patio
#

So, 1080p then?

#

yeah

#

no need to spend more TBH

#

that's gonna be a beast at 1080p

cloud depot
#

i want to get a 240 or something similar

#

hts

heavy marsh
#

1440p still has no use to me tbh

muted patio
#

It'll do 240hz

pliant lake
#

Maybe get 3080 1440p 240hz? Odyssey g7

cloud depot
#

i play escape from tarkov. i want high frames and graphics i can see everythign

heavy marsh
#

odyssey g7 is freesync iirc

#

since i have a little more should i upgrade the m.2
