#

i was thinking of mozilla

wanton cliff

but still ok

wanton cliff
#

Iridium is good

#

Kingpin too

hollow grail
#

tru

#

mayb

wanton cliff
#

but thats more focused on local privacy

#

from people going onto your computer and stuff

brazen sphinx
#

what do u use

hollow grail
#

just compile ungoogled chromium yourself

#

ezpz

#

i use chrome enterprise

wanton cliff
brazen sphinx
#

ah so whats the difference

#

i see

brazen sphinx
#

between chrome and and enterprise or is it the same

hollow grail
#

chrome enterprise doesnt have analytics

brazen sphinx
#

i see

#

ight imma download mozilla and better discord just for fun

#

brb

hollow grail
wanton cliff
brazen sphinx
#

it doesnt no

muted patio
#

Yeah, Discord will ban your account if they find you using it

brazen sphinx
#

oh no

#

Certain plugins right

#

i just want a better theme

wanton cliff
#

Certain plugins indeed

brazen sphinx
#

yea so im not gonna put any

wanton cliff
#

I hate that Brave is such a damn good browser

#

for 2 reasons

#

1: so many people use it not knowing who gets ad money and stuff

#

2: I want to use it but I know who gets the money from ads

brazen sphinx
#

jesus my thing is so laggy aaaaa

#

it looks good tho

small osprey
#

thats cool

brazen sphinx
#

ye

wanton cliff
#

it does look so nice but monkaTOS

brazen sphinx
#

IM NOT USING PLUGINS HAHAAH

small osprey
#

discord should add in a background feature for nitro users tbh

wanton cliff
brazen sphinx
#

agreed

muted patio
#

Yeah, their client needs an update

small osprey
wanton cliff
little osprey
#

My gpu won’t come out

brazen sphinx
muted patio
#

use the tab on the side of the slot

little osprey
#

Wdym

muted patio
#

Press it down or to the side

little osprey
#

K

muted patio
#

The slot where the GPU goes intot he motherboard

#

There's a retaining tab

wanton cliff
#

the retention bracket

muted patio
#

most likely right under the GPU lol, terrible design

small osprey
#

^

#

its so annoying lmfao

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

I know, it's terrible lol

brazen sphinx
#

youll should watch hellsing ultimate tbh

wanton cliff
#

and some of them are so 'retained' that either you get it down or you crater the board with a screwdriver

granite barn
#

can anyone check to see if my build is good

brazen sphinx
#

yes

wanton cliff
#

eh

brazen sphinx
#

mobo?

#

case?

granite barn
#

oops

brazen sphinx
#

how much do u want to spend on the pc?

granite barn
#

700

brazen sphinx
#

this one looks better tbh

brazen sphinx
granite barn
#

ok

wanton cliff
#

money from cooler can be spent on better GPU or CPU

#

AMD stock is good enough

brazen sphinx
wanton cliff
#

plus 212 is ass

brazen sphinx
muted patio
#

Yes

hollow grail
#

brave isnt even good tbh

muted patio
#

SSE224 or Gammax 400

brazen sphinx
#

there ya go u can see which ever gpu u want u have like 250 usd left

granite barn
#

thank you

hollow grail
#

literally just chrome with like 2 extensions

brazen sphinx
#

no problem man

coral aspen
#

@brazen sphinx why not a 10100 or 10400f?

brazen sphinx
#

10400f

coral aspen
#

no, why did you choose r3 3100

#

instead of one of those cheaper intel alternatives

brazen sphinx
#

bcoz it seemed like he wanted amd

#

and ps hes onna budget of 700usd

coral aspen
#

not worth overpaying for it

#

you realize r3 3100 is 170 according to the list you put together right

brazen sphinx
#

oh shoot

muted patio
#

yeah but to get the most out of it you need a Z490 MB which will even out

coral aspen
#

no

#

you can use a b460m motherboard

muted patio
#

You can yeah

coral aspen
#

that's all you need for a 10100 or a 10400f lol

muted patio
#

BUt if you go Z490 with 3200 mhz ram it will outperform a Ryzen 3600

#

For less money

#

Just an FYI

coral aspen
#

right but they're on a budget

brazen sphinx
#

if im sure 10400f is better than a 3600 even with a b460 mobo

muted patio
#

Nope

#

the 3600 pulls ahead because B460 limits it to 2666mhz ram

coral aspen
#

b460m and a 10100/10400f is significantly cheaper than what either of you suggested

#

and is perfectly fine in the case of gaming

muted patio
#

Right

#

But when compared with other things

brazen sphinx
#

mhm

azure oxide
#

I someone make me a build for 700$ on pc part picker list

brazen sphinx
#

sure

#

what would u like intel or amd

azure oxide
#

Intel

brazen sphinx
#

ight

#

u have 250usd for the gpu

#

@coral aspen

#

is this good?

wanton cliff
#

dont ask if they want AMD or intel

#

ask what they are going to do with the PC

brazen sphinx
#

OK

#

@azure oxide

#

WHAT ARE U GONNA DO WITH THE PC

azure oxide
#

Game

#

Game

coral aspen
#

you can get a cheaper motherboard

#

for like 80

brazen sphinx
#

H410m?

#

OR B460

coral aspen
#

b460

#

i think there's an msi bazooka one

muted patio
#

Yea but keep in mind the cheaper ones don't include diagnostic LED"s nor a speaker

#

I ran into that a couple times now and it was brutal to troubleshoot

coral aspen
#

amazon has a good return policy 🙂

winter hawk
#

hello

brazen sphinx
#

my discord logo is a waifu btw

muted patio
#

Right but figuring out WHAT to return is the issue

#

UNless you just return all the things and hope for the best

winter hawk
#

hello

brazen sphinx
#

hey dude wassup^

coral aspen
#

one at a time, give or take a week and you'll figure out the problem

azure oxide
#

So is the build u made for me fine or does anything need to be changed?

coral aspen
#

cheaper motherboard

brazen sphinx
#

is there any way to make the font biggger in discord

coral aspen
#

i believe the 80 usd b460s are all sold out on amazon, you're going to have to look elsewhere

winter hawk
#

but

#

i want to build a bfpg

brazen sphinx
#

whats a bfpg?

coral aspen
#

also @brazen sphinx how many fans are in the case that you recommended?

brazen sphinx
#

there should be 2

@stoic island thanks for helping me like 3 months ago cus I finally got all my pc parts

Snail Monitor?

bold glen
#

ok soo ive been having a lot of troubles with my new pc. whenever I play a game (CSGO in this example), it will crash after just a few minutes of playing. ive noticed that right as it crashes the 3D graph shoots up to near 100%. ive tried uninstalling the gpu drivers with a DDU, and it didnt seem to have much affect. any help?

📎 unknown.png
wanton cliff
#

you reinstalled as well?

muted patio
#

Don't trust task manager for GPU use

#

use GPU-Z

bold glen
#

yep

#

ok ill try it

#

the problem still persists regardless but ill try it

ripe wedge
#

or use hwinfo64

wanton cliff
#

odd how task manager is so unreliable. It was giving me readings over 20c past what GPU-Z, HWiNFO64, and my miner were giving me

#

microsoft needs to fix their software

bold glen
#

ok ill try to get cs to freeze again and post another screenshot

#

should i take a screenshot of the sesors page?

wanton cliff
#

yeah

bold glen
#

sensors*

#

ok

wanton cliff
#

also, what games and at what settings, while you are here?

#

this is mostly out of curiosity

bold glen
#

csgo, mostly medium to low

#

even though I can definetly run high with ease

wanton cliff
#

on a 1660Ti? Can't you go up to high pretty easily?

wanton cliff
bold glen
#

ye

#

i put it down to medium just to test

#

idk if this shows much but this is like ~2 seconds after it froze

📎 unknown.png
wanton cliff
#

IDK, most of these look about normal. @muted patio ?

muted patio
#

Ye

#

Looks fine

#

Event viewer

#

Check for Errors and critical

wanton cliff
#

is 12.2 volts normal for the PCIe slot?

#

seems like a lot

bold glen
#

this happened when i tried to launch gpuz

wanton cliff
#

huh

bold glen
#

hang on ill restart my computer

#

ok it worked

#

@muted patio how do you check for errors and critical

#

is it on gpuz

little osprey
wanton cliff
#

I was going to say something similar

#

idk if GPU-Z or HWiNFO64 can check processes like TM does, but if either can then use them to see what is killing your GPU when playing games

#

if not, task manager

azure oxide
#

Are gigabyte psu’s good?

granite barn
#

no

stoic island
#

depends on which one

#

P-GM blows up

#

AP-GM is decent

azure oxide
#

What’s a good 600 wat psu for a good price?

stoic island
wanton cliff
#

define a good price

azure oxide
#

Around 70 below

stoic island
#

Name says GP-G for some reason, the model is SG-G, which is on the same platform as the GP-G, but semi-modular instead of full modular

brazen sphinx
#

hello gamers

sonic perch
stoic island
#

I'd prob do a complete general update of everything but the GPU, since GPU stock and pricing is weird atm

#

can prob keep storage

granite barn
#

what is a good cpu cooler under 50 dollars

stoic island
#

ID-Cooling SE-224-xt

#

or go 10400f with b460 board if you want to allocate enough budget for GPU now

bold glen
#

i keep getting blue screened with "video scheduler internal error" what is it caused by and what can I do to fix

stoic island
#

Likely graphics driver

wheat plume
#

Ok y'all i have been working on this for a while. A semi-budget PC with RGB. Heres the specs:
i5 10400
ASrock B460 PRO4
16 GB DDR4 2666 Ram TridentZ
RTX 3060 when it comes out (not ti)
1TB SSD

stoic island
#

why trident z

#

just grab a 3000c16 kit that you can tighten timings on imo

#

Get a Helix-L 1tb for the drive

wheat plume
#

because its the ram with ASRock rgb compatibility. It is the Samsung 1TB it has a lot of good reviews

ripe wedge
#

most ram works with motherboards lol

bold glen
muted patio
wheat plume
#

my original list was much different and i was happy with it but then i figured out that i5 9400f hecka bottlenecks the 3060

bold glen
#

alright

muted patio
#

What GPU and PSU?

#

Also

#

Is this GPU on a riser cable?

stoic island
#

Oh, and also that hardware schedular thing on windows might be a possibility

bold glen
#

can you downclock the GPU in geforce experience?

muted patio
#

No

stoic island
#

no

bold glen
#

what software

muted patio
#

Is your gpu on a vert mount riser cable?

wheat plume
#

who are you asking

muted patio
bold glen
#

oh

#

no i dont think so

wheat plume
#

ok. nice talk yall

bold glen
#

ill look up what it is

muted patio
#

nah

#

If you had one you'd know

bold glen
#

ok

stoic island
#

@wheat plume I suggest you use pcpartpicker

bold glen
#

yeah probably not then

muted patio
#

it could also be some recently installed software. Any graphical modding stuff you're using?

stoic island
#

and also, the problem I have is trident z is spending so much when the ram is just 2666mhz

bold glen
#

nah i dont think so

wheat plume
#

ill look into it

muted patio
bold glen
#

really the only stuff I have is opera gx, drivers, and steam

stoic island
#

might as well (actually spend less) get 3000c16 kit you can lower timings on

wanton cliff
bold glen
#

evga 1660 ti

#

and my psu is

#

hang on

wanton cliff
#

Imagine using Opera GX and not Tor for every day browsing

bold glen
#

Antec NeoECO Gold ZEN 500 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply

#

opera gx look cool

stoic island
#

Chrome ftw

wanton cliff
#

Opera GX is so insecure its a joke

stoic island
#

Google can have my info

#

It's just so nice

wanton cliff
#

google is eh, but Opera? Really?

bold glen
#

i like the features

bold glen
muted patio
#

Yeah, saw that. it SHOULD be fine

bold glen
#

mk

sonic perch
stoic island
#

No

bold glen
#

the psu is nonmodular

muted patio
#

Ye

sonic perch
#

unless either the ram or motherboard is from fourty years ago

muted patio
#

Is this a new or second hand GPU?

stoic island
#

@sonic perch First, not all ram will work with all boards, second, RGB

bold glen
#

so im not sureif thats the problem but i doubr ir

bold glen
stoic island
#

There's the trying to put sodimm in dimm

sonic perch
stoic island
#

what

wheat plume
stoic island
#

@sonic perch this is about software compatibility

sonic perch
#

but this is a b460 pro4 here

stoic island
#

RGB is crap in that way

muted patio
stoic island
#

Asrock chroma or whatever the heck

sonic perch
bold glen
#

?

stoic island
#

Sync

muted patio
sonic perch
#

like asrock polychrome doesn't work with my ballistix rgb

muted patio
#

Might be a defective GPU

bold glen
#

yeah

sonic perch
#

so i'm using crucial MOD

bold glen
#

oh

stoic island
#

RGB is dumb since you need software that takes everything to sync em

sonic perch
#

which works PERFECTLY

stoic island
#

and that's why I never get RGB

sonic perch
#

and is compatible with any motherboard

stoic island
#

but for other people

muted patio
#

So grab Afterburner and try and underclock the GPU core and see if it stops

stoic island
#

they want to sync that rgb

bold glen
#

ok

stoic island
#

and they have no way to do that if the mobo software doesn't support the ram rgb

sonic perch
#

or whatever

#

stuff that works with all rgb

stoic island
#

icue won't work with mobo rgb

sonic perch
#

and syncs

stoic island
#

nothing works with all rgb

#

that's the dumb part about rgb

sonic perch
#

oh it does

stoic island
#

Mobo rgb headers, anything you plug into the 12v rgb

sonic perch
#

nvm

muted patio
#

Every brand has their own controller chip that needs their own software. It sucks

stoic island
#

Yea

#

Oh and by the way, before you start recommending openrgb, doesn't seem like it likes to work in most cases

#

RGB is just dumb

sonic perch
muted patio
#

Don't even get me started on aRGB and RGB

stoic island
#

So if someone really wants rgb, they have to follow all the 'guidelines' and all

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wanton cliff
#

RGB software can [REDACTED]

stoic island
#

@muted patio dunno how many rgb leds died because 5v argb was plugged into 12v rgb

wanton cliff
#

except Chroma, Chroma cool

stoic island
#

nah

wanton cliff
#

yeah

stoic island
#

chroma can go in a hole

#

and stay there

wanton cliff
#

Chroma is awesome as hell and anyone who says otherwise is a heretic

muted patio
stoic island
#

sorry, wrong way around

muted patio
#

Oh yeah

#

Definitely lol

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

ha no

bold glen
muted patio
#

I'm surprised doing that doesn't kill the RGB on the motherboard TBH

#

Take the core down 100 mhz

stoic island
#

Your heresy against Keychron's hardware RGB control will go down in history

muted patio
stoic island
#

also why is mem +6

bold glen
#

ok

#

accident

wanton cliff
#

hey if you have Nitro why arent you boosting this server smh my head

muted patio
#

If you click the number you don't have to use the slider

stoic island

Because I don't have nitro >:D

Why is my pc keep on turning off after like 5 min (first startups)

bold glen
#

ok

#

yeah my screen just froze for a lengthy amount of time and didnt even have a game open

i could still move my pointer

#

but couldnt inmteract with anytthing

ok just played another csgo game and the temps seem totally fine, lower 40s

@muted patio

Anyone know a good stable overclock for t-force delta rgb 3600 mhz ram?

Yeah, unlock it and see what you get

brazen sphinx
bold glen
#

alright

#

@muted patio upper 200s

muted patio
#

And no crash with Vsync off?

bold glen
#

hang on not sure if I have vsync

muted patio
#

If you're getting 200 FPS, vsync isn't on

bold glen
#

ok yeah it isnt

little osprey
bold glen
#

wait for vertical sync?

#

it was still crashing with vsync off

#

if anything it felt like it was crashing less with vsync on

#

aight yeah im getting upper 100s with double buffer vsync

When you are gaming and relized that you should have gone for a better cpu

📎 image0.jpg
muted patio
#

It's only 60%

#

and dependent on the game

#

Some use lots of CPU, some don't

frozen junco
#

Yep it is pretty cpu demanding

#

But for some reason the graphics will suddenly look bad

#

And both are not at 100%

hollow grail
#

storage bottleneck

frozen junco
#

Is it the new nvidea drivers

#

I have a 970 evo

#

What bottle neck

#

Should I have gone for the plus

muted patio
#

Might be new drivers, might also be running out of VRAM

#

970's only had 3.5 GB then 500 MB of slower stuff

frozen junco
#

It has been fine in the past

muted patio
#

at 1080p, you could be dipping into the slower stuff

frozen junco
#

I am playing at 1440 p dlss quality

muted patio
#

OH! 970 is your ssd not your GPU lol

#

Oops

frozen junco
#

No no no

muted patio
#

Try a driver rollback

#

see if it goes away

frozen junco
#

I am guessing I can’t do that through gefore experience

muted patio
#

Nope. Go to nVidia's website and download the last version. uninstall this one and install the older one

frozen junco
#

Ok

bold glen
#

so is it likely my gpu is faulty?

sonic shoal
bold glen
#

@muted patio with the information I gave you, is it pretty likely my gpu is faulty in some way?

muted patio
#

It's possible. You said temps were low?

#

Yeah, lower 40's is fine

#

You said you did a DDU and reinstall, is Windows fully up to date?

#

Power should be fine

#

Maybe try an older nVidia driver, a previous version to the newest one?

#

It's worth a shot

will i have to untinstall the current version again with ddu?

muted patio
#

I don't think so. Just download the older one and check the Clean Install box

bold glen
#

ah alright

#

if im still not having luck ill probably bring it into my local computer shop thing and see if they can maybe deduce what is happening

#

and if push comes to shove ill just buy a new gpu

#

speaking of which, what the AMD equivalant of 1660 ti

or radeon rather

I need a CPU, a MOBO and 32 GB of RAM

I have a GTX 970 (will be upgrading that later next month prolly) and a 750w power supply that is doing just fine. I have an ATX tower

Any thoughts on purchase options?

#

These are my current parts AND the CPU/MOBO/RAM I thought would work well

#

I run a lot of After Effects and Maya

#

The Hyper 212 is honestly bad for the money

#

Look at the ID Cooling SSE224XT

#

$30 and better performance by a margine

hexed prawn
#

oh heya vintage

#

=]

muted patio
#

Yo

hexed prawn
#

talked my boss into an upgrade

muted patio
#

Otherwise list looks fine

#

Nice

#

I hope you aren't paying that much for the ram tho

#

Seems expensive for what it is

hexed prawn
#

honestly don't know what to choose mate

muted patio
#

From the list you posted?

hexed prawn
#

I get all confused with the timings and lat etc

muted patio
hexed prawn
#

so I just think "these numbers look bigger, they must be better lol"

muted patio
#

and lemme find 32GB of cheap ram

#

*cheaper

hexed prawn
#

❤️

#

I just need it to be fast and reliable

muted patio
#

ye

#

This is $50 less

hexed prawn
#

oh and that heatsink was just a thought if I need it. I think mine should still work out fine

#

nice

muted patio
#

Mmmm

#

Don't use the 212 please

hexed prawn
#

kk =]

muted patio
#

Way over priced for what it gives you

#

It honestly doesn't cool that well

hexed prawn
#

its so hard to keep up on what is good or not

muted patio
#

It was popular back in the day because when it first came out it was better than anything else. Nowadays it's just meh

hexed prawn
#

they really massage the numbers

#

Any good air replacement for 360mm AIO?

muted patio
#

Depends on the CPU

wanton cliff
#

5900x

muted patio
#

not too bad

wanton cliff
#

trying to bring price down on this list

#

figured air would do the trick

muted patio
#

Still be about $80 for air lol

wanton cliff
#

better than $150

#

its in a P400a btw

#

at least right now

muted patio
#

Probs a Noctua D15 or Dark Rock Pro 4

wanton cliff
#

those both clear with 4x8 Ripjaws?

muted patio
#

Hmmmm

#

Lemme check

#

That's going to be an issue for some of these I think

#

Well, maybe not

#

Ram listed at 42mm

wanton cliff
#

I could go with 2x16

muted patio
#

DeepCool Assassin III listed at 52mm ram clearance height

wanton cliff
#

that works then

#

and the Assassin 3 is good, ik

muted patio
#

D15

#

64mm clearance

wanton cliff
#

Pro 4?

muted patio
#

Dark rock pro 4 wouldn't recommend

wanton cliff
#

ok

muted patio
#

only 42 mm

#

right at the height of the fam

wanton cliff
#

not enough headroom

#

got it

muted patio
#

**ram

wanton cliff
#

D15 it is then

#

jeez, thats still $101

#

$50 down though

muted patio
#

Assassin III is good too

#

$90

wanton cliff
#

last thing I can really do is get a smaller PSU

#

1000w vs 850, maybe?

#

3080 and 5900x

#

FE

muted patio
#

850 be fine

#

CPU only pulls 140-150 watts full load

#

It's not an Intel at 300W lol

wanton cliff
#

always forget

#

all the good ones are only $30 less than the 1000w one I had (Focus Gold)

muted patio
#

Really?

wanton cliff
#

yeah

#

and none of them are even semi modular

inland parrot
#

Hey what is a good aftermarket cpu cooler for a ryzen 5 3600

wanton cliff
#

only full

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

XD

#

Either of those

wanton cliff
#

I got there first

sinful hornet
#

gammax vs ID standoff

wanton cliff
#

Either way tbh

#

I'd go ID because they have a cooler name

sinful hornet
#

i just like gammax cause they have the GT

#

which is one of the best looking air coolers

#

at least, the GT BK is

#

the other ones are weird

wanton cliff
#

the budget is $2100, best I can do is $2189 before taxes

muted patio
wanton cliff
#

without taking away the 3080 or 5900x, both of which are apparently required

#

got the FE cause cheapest

#

B550 TUF for flashback

#

an Evo Plus 1tb and WD Blue 4tb HDD

#

Maybe there is a better SSD I could get?

sinful hornet
balmy patio
#

id cooling has a 224-xt that has a rgb fan iirc

inland parrot
wanton cliff
#

stock works well tho

sinful hornet
#

gammax gt is only $30

balmy patio
#

it's 45 bucks

sinful hornet
#

wot

balmy patio
#

oh wait nvm it's not the 224-xt

sinful hornet
#

cheapest i could find it in canada

balmy patio
#

bruh canada

hollow grail
#

canada is loser land

sinful hornet
#

no u

balmy patio
#

nah, it's the land of moose and maple syrup

wanton cliff
#

wanton cliff

hollow grail
#

cryig

wanton cliff
#

tfw the client NEEDS a 3080 and 5900x

#

and a board with flashback

hollow grail
#

ask them if theyre also ok with getting a storage bottleneck

wanton cliff
#

but the budget absolutely cant go over $2100

hollow grail
#

its like $110 for a mp34

wanton cliff
hollow grail
#

hmm

wanton cliff
#

Mp34 doesnt have cache tho?

hollow grail
#

it does

#

sily goose

hexed prawn
#

Hey, I need an equivelent for this mobo: MSI Z490-A PRO ATX LGA1200 Motherboard

wanton cliff
#

not according to PCPP

hollow grail
#

pcpp is stupid as hell

wanton cliff
#

whatever, added

#

still $44 over budget

hollow grail
#

also smh unmute me and i fix with u in dm looking

wanton cliff
#

kek

#

unmuted

#

you think I could slide with a 750w?

muted patio
#

Yes

wanton cliff
#

muted patio
#

Phanteks or something

#

Or Seasonic

wanton cliff
hollow grail
#

#

expensib

wanton cliff
#

better than water

muted patio

Get the Deepcool Assassin

#

Hey Vintage, the mobo we picked out is not available, can you help me find something equivilent to the MSI Z490-A PRO ATX LGA1200 Motherboard

wanton cliff

Oh

That's your answer tho

Okay

WD Blue/Black or Toshiba x300

hexed prawn

Hey Vintage, so the RAM won't be here soon enough either...gotta pick something new =[

What you found was this:
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

muted patio
#

$180 0yikes

hexed prawn
#

but was unsure if it was worth the price, or if it was compatible

#

yea...

#

lol

inland parrot
#

Just bought the Noctua NH-D15

muted patio
#

Man ram prices up too

#

Is 32 GB necessary?

#

They video/photo editing/rendering or just games?

hexed prawn
#

rendering

#

not a lot of games for me these days

muted patio
#

Ah, kk

#

BRB

#

Hmmm, nevermind they're not online

#

It's not a well known brand but one of the other mod assists has some of this and it's working great

#

SHoul dbe able to get it quick too

hexed prawn
#

I'm going to give it a shot!

#

lets hope you don't have to see me before too long eh?

Hi,
I was looking at getting and rtx 3060 when there available and I was wandering if I need to upgrade my psu. I have a corsair tx550m which only includes 1 daisy chained pcie connector so I don't know if it'll be enough

Thanks

potent portal
#

170 Watt TDP card (FE version), so one cable with 2x8 pin ends will be more than fine

#

550 Watt is plenty also

bold vale
#

Hey guys guys guys I need help guys guys I'm I'm I'm needing help.........

#

I think I facked up

granite barn
#

can someone check if my build is good or naw

#

the gpu is the 1650

bold vale
#

It's been a while but I haven't thought ram in a long time

potent portal
#

10100F only does up to 2666 RAM

granite barn
#

so its not good?

potent portal
#

You can go cheaper on the RAM and get the same performance

granite barn
#

ok

#

but overall is it a good build?

potent portal
#

Use the savings from the RAM to get a better NVMe drive, but otherwise looks ok

granite barn
#

Thanks

potent portal
# bold vale

Looks like the same speed and timing, give it a go. Worst case it just doesn't boot.

#

Or are you saying you meant to get DDR4 3200?

obsidian delta
#

Are there any good estimates on when it's going to be possible to buy PC parts again?

brittle tinsel
#

will a 550 watt psu be ok for a 3900x and 1060 3gb?

#

no overclocking at all

#

if you could, please DM me the answer so I can find it when I wake up, thanks.

stoic island
#

I mean

#

@potent portal ddr4 ram market is screwed rn, 3000c16 is like the same price as 2666c15

#

@brittle tinsel I'd say yes

#

maybe 150w peak for the cpu, something similar for the gpu

robust vigil
#

Is it ok to have the aio position like this? Or should the hose be on the right and not the bottom. I don’t think I have enough room on the right side due to memory.

stoic island
#

That's the best way to orient your AIO

#

top mount is the most optimal mount

#

second most would be tubes-down front mount

#

third most would be tubes-up front mount

#

worst is bottom mount, or any time your pump is higher than your rad

robust vigil
#

Ok. I had to reposition and take the aio off the cpu, should I reapply thermal paste?

stoic island
#

I'd say yes, so it might spread better and get where it needs to be, but you can get away without reapplying it

robust vigil
#

Ok, thanks again

#

I’m getting close to the finish. lol

stoic island
#

What’s a better 215$ pc?

$215 is a very tight budget. i recommend saving up some more to buy a better pc

#

What if I got to 300$? Like a better case, and adding an ssd?

pastel barn
#

did you already buy the cpu/gpu?

#

It says purchased

full atlas
#

Gpu is my dads he got a long time ago And he said I could borrow until I find one

#

And cpu I bought

pastel barn
#

try squeezing in a better gpu

#

just buy used off of somewhere

#

I will do that later

#

That’s why I’m using my dads gpu for now, I need time to keep checking deals

pastel barn
#

alright

full atlas
#

I also really want the nr400 to be 55$ again, and to find a better mobo used, but idk if that’s gonna happen

#

Bc I just want to throw in like a cheap 580/1060 or even like a 1070 or Vega 56 if I’m lucky and then have a good pc

stoic island
#

@torpid fog I don't see any reason any other aio pumps could be different for the situation

#

Say Freezer ii or ek-aio or galahad

pastel barn
#

Its gonna be a while when the nr200 hits 55 again

stoic island
#

Ofc custom loop pumps are usually in the res so that's a different story

full atlas
#

I said nr400Teehee

#

Nr200 is like 80$

pastel barn
#

oh lol

#

I misread

#

Just keep saving

stoic island
#

nr200 is a fun itx case tho

torpid fog

#

It looks pretty nice lol

#

Imagine doing a loop in the nr200

#

might be able to get away with side mount rad

Hi !

#

I received my stuff and I have an issue 😫
My conf is :

  • GIGABYTE B450 AORUS ELITE V2
  • AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 GHz
#

I do not have the graphic card yet. So I've tried to start on the internal video card.

PROBLEME : The VGA red light is red and the BIOS is not starting

#

Can you help me to resolve this issue ?

muted patio
#

There is no internal video card

full atlas
#

Maybe Bc you have no gpu?

muted patio
#

It's built into the CPU

#

And that CPu doesn't have one

#

Only the Ryuzen processors with G at the end have a GPU

strange prawn
muted patio
#

The CPU still needs to have a GPU for it to work

#

The motherboard has no GPu on it, only the CAPABILITY to use an integrated GPU built into the CPU

#

The note in the specifications for the motherboard: (Note) Actual support may vary by CPU.

@daring palm Just a heads up, I wouldn't run wires through or around your heatsinks/heatpipes. Some cable insulation is only rated at 65C. 😉

I didnt know, but it doesnt exceed 70 on the core, if I find a zip, I will improve it

@hollow lily 011 dynamic and lian li fans is literally every tiktok pc
