stepping down in speeds and quality

crisp ember
#

What brand should I go with

balmy patio
#

yo mr1111 do you still have that ss of storage woman explaining why the wd blue is better than the barracuda based on their technologies

lyric thistle
#

Brand broke model woke

stoic island
#

SSD wise, MP34 speed wise is leagues ahead of blue, just for 4$ more :P

#

what

#

it's just smr vs cmr

bold glen
#

does the case usually come with psu screws

stoic island
#

yes

bold glen
#

ok pretty sure i lost mine or something

#

lyric thistle
#

My psu came with screws

stoic island
#

No idea lel

bold glen
#

crisp ember
#

Last change

stoic island
#

bruh

crisp ember
#

What did I do this time

stoic island
#

balmy patio
#

if you're going 3200cl16 might as well get the cheapest one

stoic island
#

#

eh, micron rev e is good

#

#

Alrighty got my ddr4, back to building lol

stoic island
#

lmao price went up

rocky ocean
#

How much would a 1060 go for? I wanna accurately price it

balmy patio
#

on the used market, i would say 140-180 bucks

#

go higher and you're better off getting a 1660s or a used 1070ti

tough cedar
#

how often do 2070 S come in stock in office depot

balmy patio
#

i just checked ebay and there's some going as low as 100 bucks for the 6gb variant

rocky ocean
#

Ahh ok thanks

balmy patio
#

then again, you're better off getting a 3070 for the same price

neat reef
#

Is the m.2 screw my mobo wants to hold it to the standoff sometbing that would come with the sad?

#

Ssd

#

Cause I don’t have it anymore lol

#

I can only find 4 screws that came with the mobo and they aren’t it

crisp ember
#

@stoic island should I get the bq or the segotep 750 gold plus because it’s only $15 more

neat reef
#

Any alternatives to that screw?

#

Nvm found them

tough cedar
#

how much ram is overkill for workstation

stoic island
#

Segotep :p

#

@tough cedar all depends on the load

crisp ember
#

Sorry for so many questions but what do you recommend for the hdd

balmy patio
stoic island
#

Yes

crisp ember
neat reef
#

I really dislike putting in the CPU cooler

#

also the cable on the wraith cooler is stupidly placed

#

Couldn’t go the other way cause the big heat sink on the IO

#

Nah not really hard just annoying lol

#

Sounds like it

balmy patio
#

tbh tho it's jus screwing it in

#

what i hate is those clips some coolers use, you feel like you're breaking the damn thing

neat reef
#

Yeh but I kept not lining it up correctly

#

And forgot to press down on it lol

#

Onwards to the insertion in the case

fast dust
neat reef
#

Oh sick

#

Good to know, that logo is going upright now lol

stoic island
#

@elfin flame tbh d15 installation is really damn nice

fast dust
neat reef
#

Don’t think I’m getting to that screw lol

fast dust
#

do you have any itty bitty screwdrivers

#

like what you'd use to install an M.2

lyric thistle
#

That's just to keep the fan on the heatsink

neat reef
#

Yeh but that plastic bit is hanging over the screw too

lyric thistle
#

Why would you remove it?

neat reef
#

To move the fan

fast dust
#

yeah its annoying to do

#

but its possible

lyric thistle
#

Does look like it's impossible to remove tho lmao

fast dust
#

ive done it 3 or 4 times now

stoic island
#

The cooler itself isn't annoying imo, just other things

fast dust
#

just takes patience

neat reef
#

I’ll have to cut the plastic to do that

stoic island
#

Noctua mounting so nice

neat reef
#

To move the fan on the wraith

fast dust
#

you shouldnt need to

placid ridge
neat reef
#

I don’t have a tiny enough screw driver to be able to get under the black plastic covering the screw

#

Without stripping it from going in at a weird angle

fast dust

if u had to choose between a 2080ti or a 6800xt which one. i jist like nvidias drivers and geforce experience im not sure

gusty abyss
#

depends on if you stream much or like using rtx features

What’s the SATA cable coming from the front panel on my case for?

placid ridge
neat reef
#

It’s only got USB 3.0 and audio and mic

fast dust

  • please no 2700X, you can either get a Ryzen 3600 for cheaper, or a 5600X for just a little more, or a 10600K for a little cheaper
  • Why AIO? Gonna be overclocking? If you are, id reccommend a better motherboard too. If not, just get a decent air cooler, or a cheaperaio if you really want the looks of it that bad
  • can get a B550 for the same price
  • expensive ram, but i guess if you like it that much and are willing to apy that much for it why not
  • can get a hard drive instead of that BX500 to save some money. I hate seeing people use SSDs as secondarys, HDDs are still nice and fast as secondarys, and, that BX500 is DRAMless, so itll get slow over time.
  • airflow might not be the best on the case.
  • RMx is a good psu, would be fine to keep it, but as an added note if you wanted to save some money you could do a Phanteks Amp or Enermax Revolution D.F instead
  • Don't pay $100 for windows, you can get a key for $10

sata power?

neat reef
#

Oh the power button?

tiny cliff
#

is a 3070 xc3 ultra worth over a 2070 super xc ultra

gusty abyss
#

all I can think of would be power for leds or something

neat reef
#

Oh

tiny cliff
#

i have a i7 9700k

fast dust
tiny cliff
#

the 3070 is 630

#

i already have the 2070 super

fast dust
#

tbh id stick with it for another couple eyars till 4000 series or something

placid ridge
fast dust
#

or, you could get a 3070 and sell your 2070 super, theyre going for a lot right now

tiny cliff
#

thank you @fast dust

fast dust
#

fr, on eBay 2070 supers are going for like $550

placid ridge

i wanna buy the 3070 today but if it isnt a big change for performance then i wont

stoic island

helix-l is fine

mp34 is better tho

neat reef

It wants the SATA from the front panel to connect to the PSU

stoic island
#

but anyways, no more 500$ 3070s

balmy patio
#

sadness

stoic island

I think they will start at 600$ post tariffs?

How does SATA plug into a PSU?

bold glen

crisp ember

Or is that too much

hollow grail

bold glen

how do I fix it

#

I just turned it on for the first time

robust vigil
#

I need help with this order thing

stoic island
#

Shipping and all have been wacky since the start of the pandemic, but also, sometimes they work by workdays, so they don't work on weekends so the order just chills on weekends

bold glen
#

it works now

#

just had to reboot it haha

balmy patio
#

smh

bold glen
#

when it boots up it went straight to the windows install screen and skipped bios

#

good or nah?

stoic island
#

Yes, you have to press button to go to bios lol

bold glen
#

ok I'm in bios now

#

what should I be doing in bios

stoic island

xmp

bold glen

how do you do that

gritty ruin
#

Good build?

Decent*

stoic island
#

meh

#

go with amp on psu

#

bold glen
#

NVM found it

stoic island
#

like b460-a was like 80$

#

3600c16 for b460 board is a complete waste

#

I don't like montech x1

#

still sus to me

gritty ruin
#

@stoic island oh damn

stoic island
#

mx330-g or mx410 mesh solid alternative imo

gritty ruin

I like the color white so i prefer montech x1

dense pivot
#

Looking to get a better gaming laptop (don't have space for a pc currently) What are some good recs from AMD?

stoic island
#

Montech case still too sus for me to reccomend :P

#

@dense pivot I mean, I think most of the 30xx gaming laptops are still using Intel chips

bold glen
#

what are the things you need to install when first getting a computer?

#

the thing that helps the partd

#

for like graphics card and stuff

#

drivers

#

muted patio
#

CPU, then RAM, then CPU cooler, then motherboard into case, then power supply, then GPU

#

All the parts on the motherboard and the GPU

bold glen
#

drivers?

muted patio
#

Just go to motherboard manufacturers website

#

Drivers section

bold glen
#

ok

muted patio
#

You'll see them all

#

It varies board to board and features you have

bold glen
#

aight

#

I have a hard drive and I have it plugged in and have power but it's not showing up

short ruin
#

@stoic island

#

which one

stoic island
#

Left side, depends on if you want to use beta or not

short ruin
#

ok

bold glen
#

should I install all drivers on my mobos website?

small osprey
#

yes

muted patio
#

newest one from each section

bold glen
#

ok

#

can I install an hdd whole the computer is on

small osprey
#

uh no dont do that

#

shut it off and unplug the psu before u touch anything inside

bold glen
#

ok

#

should I use realtek hd universal driver or high definition audio driver

#

for driver

#

please

#

someone

#

also how do I open the mobo drivers

#

they're just zip folders and idk what to do

#

nvm

#

anyone?

short ruin
#

no

#

u dont need to use all of those

bold glen
#

which ones then

short ruin
#

u def need a better moniter

bold glen
#

I know

#

this is temporary

#

anyways back to the question on hand

short ruin
#

#

it wont hurt your system so youre fine

bold glen
#

ok

little osprey
#

Guys I got a lian li 0-11 and it only came with 3 stand off screws

bold glen
#

how do you clear an old hard drive

stoic island
#

format

lyric thistle
#

Plug it in, turn on computer, see if it recognizes it, click on it and tell computer new blank volume on the drive

#

Then hard drive go speek spok no more data

#

Except for epic russia hackers

stoic island
#

ebic

#

if you need data gone, hammer time

#

@stoic island

stoic island
#

wot

short ruin
#

How do you insert a media file into the app

#

in davinci resolve

stoic island
#

I don't really use davinci resolve, usually like in the file, and then open

#

or like there's some worksplace place where you just right click and then ope

short ruin
#

i tried that and it wont work

#

its a cool application for being free

stoic island
#

dunno, I don't use davinchi resolve lel, I just know some people that uses it and say it's great

short ruin
#

ok thanks

#

what do you use

stoic island
#

I don't really edit videos

#

all I do is like

#

slap videos together and call it a day

short ruin
#

lmao

#

ok

stoic island
#

openshot does that decently for me, even though it's wacky, it's simple

lyric thistle
#

Nice

#

I need to see some mr1 director's cuts

ripe wedge
#

I use Hitfilm express

#

its meh for free

short ruin
#

ill check that oyut

#

out

bold glen
#

how do you do it

#

nvm figured it out

#

if I installed my drivers just to the downloads folder will it go to my ssd or hdd

#

and if I wipe my hdd will I have to reset my drivers installation

muted patio
#

That's.....not how it works

#

downloads go to wherever the oS is installed

#

Drivers don't get installed to the Downloads folder, they just get downloaded there

#

Need to unzip and run them

bold glen
#

ok ive done that

#

just wanted to make sure i wasnt doing something wrong

#

idk how this works too well

#

do i need to install drivers for my cpu cooler

#

its just a fan

muted patio
#

no

bold glen
#

ok

#

so I wiped my hdd and it's showing up in my disk management but it's not showing up on the "this pc" in files

#

I also can't install anything on it

desert gulch
#

Is it formatted @bold glen ?

bold glen
#

lemme check

muted patio
desert gulch
#

Yup

muted patio
#

Same steps

desert gulch
#

That's how to do it

muted patio
#

gotta allocate it

bold glen
#

ah yeah I had to add a path

little osprey
#

Guys do I put the fans on my radiator as intake or exhaust

proven thistle
#

i just need to put this here

desert gulch
#

@little osprey where is the radiator

#

they can be intake or exaust but makes more sense to have intake if at front of pc, and exasut if near back

#

if they are exaust most likely cpu temp would be higher, as it will be using hot air from gpu and other components

#

if intake cpu temp would be lower but then gpu has hotter air to work with

#

not that big of a difference tho

#

depends on what you have to work with

balmy patio
#

vrms will be sad because you used the radiator as intake

#

but i haven't seen enough info to actually tell how big of a difference it makes

neat reef
#

Just powered on my PC for the first time, the GPU RGB is on but it’s fans aren’t spinning, are they not supposed to spin till under load?

#

It’s a 3080

balmy patio
#

play a game and see if they spin

#

on some gpu's, if not most high end ones, have a feature where the fans don't spin at low loads or low temps

neat reef
#

I’m sure it’s just that yeh

#

Gotta get windows on it lol

uncut pelican
#

@neat reef Yeah once the gpu get to 55°c they sure on

#

👍

#

I was wondering the same thing with my gpu

#

Which brand is it?

neat reef
#

TUF OC

#

Says

#

Asus

#

Damn CPU cooler is loud af

uncut pelican
#

What cpu cooler?

neat reef
#

Wraith

uncut pelican
#

Ah

neat reef
#

Humming noise not really a fan noise

uncut pelican
#

My fans are loud cuz i got so many

#

I like the noise

#

Some dont thi

#

My god

#

*tho

#

What cpu did u go with

neat reef
#

Just the 3600 since I’ll be playing 4K for a few years

uncut pelican
#

Ah very nice 👌

#

Did u name it

neat reef
#

Was gonna get the 5600x but there’s no difference when it comes to 4K

uncut pelican
#

The pc

gentle dust
#

So my pc turned off while playing a game and won't turn back on. When looking inside the system while flipping the power supply switch, the heatsink for what I think my wifi card has a bright white flash and a squealing noise. I'm pretty sure that means the board is dead but is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?

neat reef
#

Nah lol, maybe I should, gotta get windows on it first then I will lol

Ah coolio

@gentle dust rip computer

#

My gpu blew up a month ago and am wondering if that could have been a cause of this

bold glen
#

where the case fans plug into

desert gulch
#

the headers

bold glen
#

on the mobo?

desert gulch
#

should say CHA_FAN and then a number

#

yeah

#

for most

#

unless you have a hub

bold glen
#

ok thanks

neat reef
#

or sys_fan

desert gulch
#

mhmm

bold glen
#

does it matter what number I put the fan into

neat reef
#

no

bold glen
#

ok

neat reef
#

otherwise most

#

fans wouldnt reach the numbers in order

#

if i plug in my HDD after everything is done will it just detect as if it were an external harddrive plugged into USB?

#

well it also has windows on it

#

i dont really have another pc to hook it up to so im gonna have to just connect it and see what happens

desert gulch
#

like an internal hardrive?

neat reef
#

yeh

#

its what i had windows on, on my old pc

#

using my ssd to install windows on the new one

desert gulch
#

i mean yeah it just shows up just like another drive

neat reef
#

ok cool

desert gulch
#

yeah

neat reef
#

it shouldnt try to start up with the HDD's windows

#

should stick with the ssd one

desert gulch
#

yeah if your boot order in bios is correct

neat reef
#

ill double check the boot order when i plug it in

#

for now ill just use the ssd

#

dont think i need to do anything in the bios, the mobo manual doesn't say i need to

#

says to keep the default settings

desert gulch
#

ok

for gaming or work 🤔

for around 5k you can get a bleeding edge setup, and that's including a monitor and KB/M

why not get a 5k ish setup and use the rest for a desk/nice chair/headphones or something

it's totally up to you though, threadrippers are cool

broken pebble
#

heyo i got a corsair vengeance ram kit if i get the rgb pro one as well can i mix both kits of ram? since its same ram

muted patio
#

same speed and timings?

broken pebble
#

yeah

muted patio
#

Should work

broken pebble
#

yeah thats what i was thinking one just would have rgb

muted patio
#

I'd recommend keeping them in separate channels though, IE RGB channel A, non-RGB channel B

broken pebble
#

ah right

#

so i would put it as the rgb kit together on one side and then regular kit on the other?

muted patio
#

Yes

#

Just to be safe

#

Can try the other way but if issues, keep the ram together in the same channels

clever hamlet
#

last part for my first build just shipped , rest should be here sometime next week ..... nervous yet excited . Was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips for a first time builder

muted patio
#

Read all the manuals

#

Take your time

clever hamlet
#

yea been looking through my motherboard manual religiously

muted patio
#

Good

#

Put the RAM, CPU and CPu cooler on the motherboard before you put the motherboard in the case

#

Unless you need to update BIOS first

clever hamlet
#

yea tried to do the flash hand no real luck so gonna throw everything I need for the system to work on the motherboard and see if I can get a post and go from there

#

outside of the case

normal osprey
muted patio
#

Should have worked. Just ATX and CPu power connected

normal osprey
#

I have all parts in there

muted patio
#

insert USB and push flash button and wait

clever hamlet
#

yea light kept flashing for a few seconds and went solid

muted patio
#

I think that's supposed to mean it worked

clever hamlet
#

O I thought it shut off when it worked

frozen tree
#

does micro atx mean the motherboard should be smaller than a atx form factor ?

muted patio
#

yes

frozen tree
#

my brother mad a pc and i just started so some of my parts came in like my motherboard but its about the same size as his and mines is supposed to be micro but its about as big as his and now i dont think it will fit in my case

Do thinkstation parts work on other pcs

this is my motherboard ASRock B550M STEEL LEGEND AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

It'll fit

#

ok thank you

clever hamlet

pretty sure the 220T fits atx as well if I'm not mistaken

muted patio

It does

clever hamlet

was on my list before I settled on the O11

#

but could remember exactly

o ok cool thank you i was freaking out lol;

Let me see

#

If i can find a picture of my old build (built by my dad)

#

And then show a picture of my new build (built by me)

#

OH I FOUND SOMETHING WORSE

vocal axle
#

So... I started a new build with a Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro AC MoBo. When I powered it on the monitor didn't detect the back panel HDMI port. Any ideas on why this happened?

Edit: the monitor works on another computer using it's HDMI port.

balmy patio
#

you running off of the hdmi on the mobo or the gpu?

vocal axle
#

MoBo

GPU not installed yet

languid nimbus
#

that’s probably why

vocal axle
#

Monitor is 1680*1050

languid nimbus
#

what cpu

somber silo
#

AM4 doesnt have onboard graphics right?

balmy patio
#

not all of em

severe axle
#

the ones with a G at the end do

#

the rest do not

somber silo
#

i know i had this issue when i build my friends pc with a ryzen 5 3600

balmy patio
#

yeah the 3600 doesn't have onboard graphics

#

pick up a 710 off of ebay for like 20 bucks

#

you might find something cheaper if all you need is a placeholder card

somber silo
#

whats funny is i knew that but it was 2am and that thought didnt cross my mind due to being sooooo tired XD but yea grab a cheap gpu till you get your real one like joesr said.

vocal axle
#

The listing for the MoBo says it has on board graphics...

somber silo
#

the mobo will accept video but only on CPUs that have it. really the only downside i have with ryzen

muted patio

what is your CPU

languid nimbus

do you have cpu?

vocal axle
#

Oh, so maybe the Ryzen 9 3900 12 core doesn't support it.

languid nimbus
#

Correct

somber silo
#

yep no onboard graphics

languid nimbus
#

If it does, it’ll have a “g” on the end

#

Like 5400g

vocal axle
#

Has an X

muted patio
#

No on board graphics.

balmy patio
#

if it ends with a g, it's got onboard graphics

languid nimbus
#

I believe the ‘x’ indicates it automatically boosts higher than its counter parts without the ‘x’

vocal axle
#

GPU is in the mail.

Thanks everyone, I would hate to think there was an issue with the MoBo.

languid nimbus

Cool, glhf!

#

I wanna build a computer

#

What should the budget be?

somber silo
#

i can understand that. when building my friends ryzen build i had that issue again to tired to build and also nvme shuts off a couple sata ports so her SSD wouldnt boot. one of those things you dont think about if you are doing research

small osprey
uncut pelican

Its an addiction

small osprey

then upgrade old one

:o i have an idea

small osprey
#

or buy a o11d and make an overkill build

uncut pelican
#

I have an old 2008 dell desktop

#

Ima gut it

#

Then rebuild it

small osprey

cool

Idk how ima do a custom io tho

delete the partition

Oh

muted patio

Format the disc as GPT during the install

neat reef
#

Do I need to take it out and put it in a different computer to do that?

olive bison

no

muted patio

Also make sure that you are booting the installation media as UPFI

#

Uefi

olive bison

neat reef

Is that in the BIOS?

muted patio

Yes

Ok I’ll go back to the bios and look for that before doing the SSD stuff

Can someone recommend a laptop under 400 bucks has to be a windows machine

I have my dell drives and stuff out of it but idk how to remove the mobo or cpu cooler

muted patio

If it's held in with the plastic pins pinch the pins together and then slide the

Cooler and motherboard off

neat reef
#

I don’t see anything else mentioning the USB hard disk

olive bison

it's in boot options

neat reef

How do I get there?

languid nimbus

That’s a link

somber silo

XD

languid nimbus

lmao

neat reef
#

Guessing boot options is a key I gotta press on start up

olive bison
#

no

#

it's in the bios

Go to advanced mode. Then there should be a boot tab

neat reef
#

Oh

#

Thanks, I never really used bios stuff before

Set #1 to USB hard disk?

muted patio

Yes

#

Anything else in bios I should do while I’m here? The mobo manual said to leave everything

Like first time set up type stuff

#

Turn on XMP for your ram

neat reef

Is it already set?

muted patio
#

You only have one stick of ram?

Yeh cause I had to get one yesterday lol, I had ddr3 RAM and didn’t know it doesn’t work

O you need to get another stick as soon as possible.

How come?

Thought 8gb was fine

muted patio
#

What processor do you have

neat reef
#

For like low load, but yeh I planned on it anywyas

#

3600

#

Cause I’ll be playing 4K

#

No point in getting the 5600x for 4K

muted patio
#

You need much faster ram than what you have

#

3600 mhz

#

And 2 sticks for dual channel mode

neat reef
#

Well this will do for getting it all set up

#

Which is what my goal was from buying from Best Buy

#

So is the XMP thing already set? Or is that irrelevant to one stick?

muted patio
#

It will work for setting it up but between the slow speed and only one stick your losing about 30 to 40% performance

neat reef
#

Didn’t want to get expensive RAM without looking for options, I just chose what Best Buy had so I could get this set up, unpatiently

balmy patio
#

what'd you get?

neat reef
#

Patriot 8gb 2400mhz

#

My impatientness is the death of me lol

balmy patio
#

just a single stick?

neat reef

Yeh

Good thing I didn’t get two tho

Of that one

if all you have is that then just wait and get a good set

Dapro#3297 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

neat reef
#

I type the s word lol

#

Why not just finish setting it up and just add RAM later lol, not like the RAM is gonna make it blow up

muted patio
#

Never said not to do that

#

Just don't expect a great experience until you do

neat reef
#

Other guy said just wait and get a good set

#

And yeh I didn’t

#

It’s set to XMP profile 1 not disabled, was in the OC settings

balmy patio

just wait with what you have

neat reef
#

Oh sorry

Misunderstood

balmy patio
#

as vintage said, the experience won't be the best but it's good nuff as a placeholder for now

#

also it's fine, i didn't make myself clear

neat reef
#

Is there any issue with keeping it in and adding 16gb of 3200mhz? So I’ll have 24gb

muted patio
#

Yes because it will all run at the slowest speed

neat reef
#

Oh yeh I remember learning that

#

Thanks

muted patio
#

You should be able to pick up a kit of the proper ram for less than a $100

neat reef
#

I wonder if RAM is returnable lol

#

Probs not

muted patio
#

Best Buy let you return processor so I don't see why not

neat reef
#

Oh sick

balmy patio
#

tbh 50 bucks or so could get you 3200cl16 in the ideal market situation

muted patio
#

Just call them ask

#

Even the 3200 is a bit slow.

neat reef
#

Will do, wouldnt two 8gb be better than one 16gb?

#

For the dual channel thing

muted patio
#

In some games Thursday 5 to 10% boost going from 3200 to 3600

#

Yes you always want pairs of ram sticks

neat reef
#

Hopefully I can find a sale

#

I’m in Canada as well so not as good selection

You said you wanted to do 4K stuff right

Yeh

Then your going to need the fastest ram possible for your 3600

neat reef
#

Cause I have a3080

#

I see

muted patio
#

The 3600 is honestly a little underpowered for 4K

stoic island
#

Well, 3600/3800mhz, higher and you get diminishing returns for memory

The 3600 is 2% difference between the 5600x at 4K

stoic island

Uh you sure?

neat reef
#

Very sure

stoic island
#

That doesn't sound right

#

I can pull up GN testing

#

@neat reef what game

neat reef
#

From google

#

At 4K the 5600X is now just 3% faster than the 3600 on average, however it's being held up by the CS:GO outlier. With that removed, the 5600X is 2% faster on average, so basically no difference as the GPU takes on most of the work.

@fast dust curious why you are pairing a 5800x with a b550

Also I thought it was like 7 years

@terse galleon why not

seems a bit overkill for the MoBo

@fast dust you could go for helix L if you need it

helix l?

oooh, the SSD

you know i am so confused by what you guys are saying

no, B550-A was just because, are there any other options in that price range that are better?

B550 aorus elite

150$

no clue what that means

you gusy have fun

cool

terse galleon

cause its a budget of $4000

hows this looking now

ThinkingEgg which brings up a key point: What is your intended use case for this build?

fast dust

its just a gaming build for a customer

terse galleon

yeah this is serious overkill

sharp mason

WAIT

fast dust

they requested the O11, water cooling, ryzen, and a 1TB SSD + 4TB HDD

Why does the AM4 RAID driver not have any .exe? It’s one of the mobo drivers from MSI, anyone remember it from their build or something?

you can get the ryzen 7 cheaper $300 dollars at best buy

#

Like what do I do with it

little osprey

what are you doing

$4000 budget with b550

#

also get sabrent rocket pcie 4

#

like jesus

sharp mason

XD

fast dust
#

alright

#

well

little osprey
#

with $4000 you can go balls to the wall

sharp mason

but still

fast dust
#

tell me how i can fit it in there, then

little osprey
#

Ill make a part list

#

ok?

sharp mason
#

you can get the ryzen 7 a lot cheaper at best buy

fast dust
#

go ahead

little osprey
#

also ill get you a ryzen 9 5900x

terse galleon
little osprey
#

because like $4000 with a r7

fast dust
#

im literally adding what the customer told me to add

#

@little osprey keep in mind the build fee and tax

terse galleon
sharp mason
#

@fast dust YOU CAN GET THE CPU FOR A LOT CHEAPER

#

oh gosh

little osprey
#

lool

#

ill build u one

fast dust
#

?

terse galleon
#

😂 blunt way of what I said

little osprey
#

ill get you a 3090

#

r9 5950x

#

64gb ram

sharp mason
#

you can get ryzen 7 for $250 at best buy

#

rather then 530

fast dust
sharp mason
#

yep

#

i did

terse galleon
# fast dust ?

also, with PC part picker those are links to SPECIFIC listings. They are non representative of what is available

fast dust
#

mhmm

#

ive used pcpartpicker before

sharp mason
#

ok

little osprey
#

actually ill get you 128gb ram

#

because $4000 can go balls to the wall

sharp mason
#

maybye not 250 but still 200 dollars cheaper

#

or 100 dollars cheaper

#

my bad

terse galleon
fast dust
#

oh yeah, oops, forgot to make te 5800x $450

sharp mason
#

mhm...

#

yea sure

fast dust
#

i know its MSRP is $450

#

i know im stupid, but im not totally stupid

sharp mason
#

look

#

im all for savings and stuff

#

BUT i have absultly no clue what half the stuff you guys are says

saying*

SO

#

finalize what you want then search the web for cheaper prices

again SO

#

i dont remember what i was going to say

#

OH

#

im stupid too

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯ i dont know what else to say

little osprey
fast dust
#

lllllllllllllllllook, I can make a "balls to the wall" build, but, this doesnt include my build fee that I charge, which for this build would be well over $400, and, it doesnt totaly fit what the customer wants, I've literally talked to him about it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JqtZHz

this was quickly thrown together

hey, @little osprey , wheres teh build fee and tax i told you about?

i directly told you

honestly

cut the rtx 3090

#

this is more like a $3200 build

its so unneeded unless youre doing cad work

cause of tax and fee

mhm

Hey i have that mobo

alright, im asking him if he wants to downgrade to 3080

he had one in his list so i just assumed he was using it as a placeholder

oh

Why wouldn't you put a gt710 in it

as a placeholder you should just use intel integrated graphics probably

balmy patio

nah the cost will be around the same

if you're going intel

balmy patio

ebay has sum 710's for like 10-25 bucks

Cuz they're so bad xD

if you're going 10400f though

actually yeah the 10400f and 10400 price difference ain't that bad

I would go just apu

oh ok

yeah I was going to do a 3060

If its not in your budget i personally would save for a better gpu

rugged kindle

so photoshop and davinci resolve programs are what i use mainly.

sharp blade
#

And just go for apu

The cpu has graphic

But 9 years old mhm

#

Kinda old haha

balmy patio

lmao

rugged kindle
#

yerrrp, and it was one i was given from a friend so i didnt build it ^^;

balmy patio
#

do you have a preference for what brand the cpu is?

rugged kindle
#

no preference. just something that doesnt suck lol

sharp blade
#

Idk about the ryzen apu s

rugged kindle
#

i keep hearing mixed reviews on that one

#

might be a dumb question but is intel compatible with the nvidia?

sharp blade
#

Yeah

rugged kindle
#

cool, do you need both?

sharp blade
#

Even intel cpu with amd gpu

#

You don't need both

#

But it would be better

rugged kindle
#

okay, so like i7 and nvidia, with amd gpu

sharp blade
#

Nvidia is gpu brand

#

You can go nvida or amd

rugged kindle
#

oh derp, i knew that...;;;

#

ill check out some amd

#

what kind of motherboard is good for that kind of system, i have no idea about those bits.

sharp blade
#

Do you wanna go Intel or Amd

rugged kindle
#

i think intel

sharp blade
#

Then you need a intel motherboard like z490

rugged kindle
#

sweet, ty ty

sharp blade
#

Then you have money for a gpu

rugged kindle
#

ooh ok. and the gpu on the editing is the most important bit? and how much space should i get for that? like ram and stuff

sharp blade
#

But i would go with a other ps

rugged kindle
#

okay.

sharp blade
#

I would go like seasonic around 600 w

rugged kindle
#

that's for the space?

sharp blade
#

Still a gpu

rugged kindle
#

oh lol

#

so many options, lol the only one i knew about was the nvidia ^^; but nice to have options

sharp blade
#

But the thing is right now is almost everything overpriced

#

If you could wait it would be better

rugged kindle
#

yeahh...ill try, but this computer crashes more every day lol

sharp blade
#

You could also go first with only apu

quasi snow
#

besides the graphic card that list is pretty reasonably priced

rugged kindle
#

it acts like it's out of ram but it isn't and there's no virus that i can find anyway.

sharp blade
#

And wait for gpu prices to be more normal

rugged kindle
#

when do they usually drop?

ripe wedge
#

prices are wack rn

#

due to demand and tariffs

rugged kindle

is it just cause everyone's home or something?
