Oh beautiful. I ordered the majority of my pc on newegg but got the razer viper mini on amazon. The mouse is so good. Let that be a lesson, razer is king

prime plover
#

Just looked it up. It looks kinda overly complicated imo.

little osprey
#

Its just logitech software and a mouse and weights.

prime plover
#

I mean, that's pretty much what mice are.

little osprey
#

lol. Mice

#

I have a mice.

#

My cat caught a mice.

prime plover
#

Plural of the computer mouse is mice though I'm pretty sure.

little osprey
#

I need some help

#

My pc takes FOREVER on this screen

#

Like a solid minute or two

#

And windows is on an nvme ssd.

#

And fast boot is enabled in bios

#

Like what do I need to do mannn

#

It’s really annoying

urban trellis
#

idk bro it takes me about 10 seconds on a nvme drive

muted patio
#

SOUnds like it's reading memory

#

IE, configuring ram every boot

#

XMP/DOCP on?

urban trellis
#

@little osprey

#

wait @muted patio how do I turn on DOCP i have xmp on

muted patio
#

DOCP is Asus name for XMP

#

same same

urban trellis
#

oh lol

little osprey
urban trellis
#

whats your ram speed

little osprey
#

3200

muted patio
#

Any boot lights sticking on?

little osprey
#

Uh

#

Idk I’ll check in a bit

#

I’m resetting windows rn

small osprey
#

evga ftw3

#

imo

little osprey
feral bobcat
#

yeah i knew f...k the world 3 ultra

#

😄

little osprey
#

Well hof has the record benchmarks...

feral bobcat
#

doesnt proof anything

little osprey
#

Yeah it does

#

It’s the top end

feral bobcat
#

galax is part of palit

#

meh

little osprey
#

So

feral bobcat
#

but evga is great

#

especially psus & gpus

little osprey
#

Get what you want lmao

#

@muted patio any more advice?

#

On how to fix this nonsense

#

I don't even think Galax is north america is it?

#

No

feral bobcat

😄

kindred meadow
#

Got a question and not sure if this is in the right chat but... I had my desktop PC die last week and I've managed to secure an complete upgrade from an old AMD system (AMD 5500 based) to Intel (8700K) hoping that my hard drives are still good how much of a head ache am I going to put myself through with an Windows 10 install?

feral bobcat
#

guys 3080 ftw ultra at least needs 750w psu what wattage is recommended for 5900x

feral bobcat
#

my old keyboard doesnt work correctly sorry dont know why

little osprey
#

prob more than a 3700x for sure

#

3700x TDP is like iirc 65

#

105

feral bobcat
#

i dont oc

#

850 is enough isnt it

#

newegg psu calc shows 650 is enough

#

😄

muted patio
#

3080 needs 850W for transient spikes

feral bobcat
#

so 850 is recommended?

little osprey
#

Yes lol

prime plover
muted patio
#

No not the GPU alone

#

Total system power with a 3080

prime plover
#

Phewf.

#

650W should be fine for a founders 3070 right/

#

?

feral bobcat
#

no

prime plover
feral bobcat
#

min is 650

prime plover
#

Well this is not good.

feral bobcat
#

750 is enough

prime plover
#

At least I have the minimum though.

feral bobcat
#

you need more than 650

prime plover
#

I was actually going to go lower but I thought 650 would be a nice overkill

muted patio
#

650 is fine for 3070

feral bobcat
#

you need more power than 650 because of pressure on psu

prime plover
#

4k though? I do plan on running 4k(mostly just for the desktop not for games)

main whale
#

The 3070 is why I'm not upgrading my current PSU.

feral bobcat
#

😄

main whale
#

It's already 650w.

feral bobcat
#

4k with 3070?

prime plover
#

OOOOOH vintage racer is a mod assist. Noice.

prime plover
little leaf
#

You dont need for than 650

#

4k at like 60 i assume

prime plover
#

I am hearing differing opinions, so I am going to go with the one that is cheapest which is that I am okay.

little leaf
#

More cinematic gaming

prime plover
#

Yeah my monitor is 4k 60 hz. I would never do anything more than that.

muted patio
#

650W is more than fine for 3070

little leaf
#

Ye i have a 3070 with a 9900k

feral bobcat
#

why explain plz

little leaf
#

At 2k

hybrid nexus
#

Yo guys, one quick question

little leaf
#

650 is fine

prime plover
#

No questions here.

#

This server is not supposed to be helpful.

feral bobcat
#

😄

prime plover
#

JK JK JK JK JK

hybrid nexus
#

lol

muted patio
#

Provided it's not a low end 650 liike a Corsair CV, EVGA N1 or Gigabyte blow up PSU

feral bobcat
#

vin, whats your system specs

prime plover
#

Erhm let me check the brand.

muted patio
#

Phanteks AMP, Tier A

main whale
#

I trust EVGA Supernovas.

hybrid nexus
#

The GPU I was gonna get has 3x8 Pin connectors but the PSU I have has only 2x8 Cables (3of them), can I use two Cables and just leave 1 8Pin hanging

muted patio
prime plover
#

Oh yay I did something right finally. 🤣 I tried to get a gold certified cause that sounded nice

muted patio
#

Should be Ok tho

#

But if you only have two cables

hybrid nexus
#

Is it gonna cause Energyloss or something

muted patio
#

That means 3080

main whale
muted patio
#

And also means it's probably not an 850W as is recommended for a 3080

muted patio
hybrid nexus
#

3080 and 850W Sir

muted patio
#

850W with only two 8 pins??

#

What is it

#

doens't sound right

#

Most have 4

hybrid nexus
#

No, 3 Cables, each have 2x8 Pins

main whale
#

What is it with this server? EVGA, ASUS and Gigabyte are good for parts that somehow don't fit my current build.

muted patio
#

The power supply you said only has two 8 pin cables

#

For an 850W, that doesn't sound right. Most 850W PSU have 4 cables

main whale
#

EVGAs are good for GPUs, but not PSUs?

muted patio
#

There are many Supernova models

little leaf
#

^

muted patio
#

Not all are good

prime plover
#

Wait the image you just posted says Model > Brand

#

Right?

hybrid nexus
#

I'll just leave it hanging man

muted patio
#

yes

#

You said, "EVGA are good for GPU but not PSU"

little osprey
#

I have supernova gt

muted patio
#

Not true, depends on the model of PSU

sonic pasture
#

im trying to get a 3070 fe and i was wondering if i can only get it online from best buy or is there another way

muted patio
#

Best Buy is the only retailer

wise sorrel
#

Never!!!!

little osprey
#

Yeah there are a tier evga power supplies

#

Vintage racer I need your help man

sonic pasture
wise sorrel
#

I'm gonna cry, trying to get these 3070s is ridiculous

little leaf
#

Not really

little leaf
#

Ive gotten 3 3070s and 1 3080

feral bobcat
#

ive read reviews about evga psus & most of critics think they are good

wise sorrel
#

I dont have a micro center so I have to resort to best buy in person

muted patio
#

Well, those critics haven't tested them

wise sorrel
#

@little leaf how much you want

muted patio
#

Properly, anyway

wise sorrel
#

Lol

little leaf
#

Lol

#

I just was buying them for friends because they cant get them

sonic pasture
#

thats nice

little leaf
#

I got one for my main pc though

wise sorrel
#

I need a white 3070 for my build

#

Or 3080

feral bobcat
#

you need galax or asus

little leaf
feral bobcat
#

both have especial white versions

little leaf
#

Umm gigabyte

wise sorrel
#

I just need a gpu to start

sonic pasture
#

same

wise sorrel
#

I've been told to do strix over giga

little leaf
#

Ok wait wait

wise sorrel
#

For white

little leaf
#

Stop

#

Whats the budget

#

Or what card and cpi

wise sorrel
#

Me?

little leaf
#

Yes

wise sorrel
#

Ryzen 7 5800

little leaf
#

K so anything would be fine

little osprey
#

How much does a Brahman heifer cost

little leaf
#

Do u have a preference for gpu?

#

3070 or 3080

wise sorrel
#

Or a 9 5900 if I can get 1

little leaf
#

Ok so 3080

wise sorrel
#

And nah either or

little leaf
#

Cause it looks like you have alot of money to apend lol

wise sorrel
#

Nah, I have a decent chunk but still a budget

little leaf
#

Whats budget overall

#

Or send pcpp

wise sorrel
#

1 sec

#

The psu isn't white cause A.) Can't find 1, and B.) There is a shroud over it.

#

Forgot the cooler

#

@little leaf

little leaf
#

your really getting an aio

#

and a 970 plus

wise sorrel
#

Is that an issue?

prime plover
#

Is newegg shuffle happening now?

#

It was supposed to start 3 minutes ago I think.

wise sorrel
#

@prime plover don't see it yet

little leaf
#

No its just generally I don't recommend aios

wise sorrel
#

Whys that? @little leaf

feral bobcat
#

noctua

little leaf
#

Since they are usually overpriced and have the same perf as an good air cooler

prime plover
#

I bought a noctua fan. They looked quality. Are they?

wise sorrel
#

What air cooler would you use?

little leaf
#

also the 2tb ssd is quite expensive

#

yes noctua is good

feral bobcat
#

buy 2tb ssd

wise sorrel
#

Yeah, but i rather have the speed. Its is 2tb ssd

feral bobcat
#

you need space for next gen games & movies

little leaf
#

I would choose something else

wise sorrel
#

Like?

potent portal
#

Is there no shuffle today for some reason? It's 10 but it still says yesterday's shuffle

wise sorrel
#

It's 1:07 here and nothing

prime plover
#

I got 1tb ssd. Ssd is expensive.

austere herald
#

hi all

just woundering does any one know were i can find either a 5700 or a 6800 i would prefer asus or sapphire but at this point any thing but asrock lol i cant find them any were ...every thing is out of stock

prime plover
# austere herald hi all just woundering does any one know were i can find either a 5700 or a 680...

The best place to get a gpu is from newegg. https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle
Newegg shuffle is basically where they display the gpu's they have in stock and everyone has an equal chance of buying it.

potent portal
#

Newegg is only offering them on the shuffle

prime plover
#

The shuffle was supposed to start 8 minutes ago if I am not mistaken. But it hasn't.

austere herald
#

im on NE now and its hair pulling

prime plover
#

Why?

austere herald
#

out of stock .....

prime plover
#

Try and find a gpu that is in stock.

#

GPU's have become so rare and valuable nowadays.

austere herald
#

tell me about it

junior mural
#

My computer turned purple screen and shut off what happened?

#

Dell optiplex

prime plover
#

Im guessing something went wrong.

#

It's probably not good.

feral bobcat
#

guys what gaming monitor has the best color quality like apple

hollow lily
#

Do I have to use an sfx psu for an 011 dynamic mini?

young birch
#

what color combos should i try with my pc

young birch
wise sorrel
#

Whats a good supplemental video card I can use until these gpus drop in price or become more available?

#

@young birch white... but have fun getting parts 😭

young birch
fossil atlas
#

anyone know what kind of stuff i should have if i want to make gaming yt vids?

potent portal
fossil atlas
#

my graphics card is an RTX 2060, i already tried recording and editing, but my pc still lags, i suspect that my processor may be the weak link, its an intel i5 8400

patent wraith
#

this is what i have is it good?

#

ping me with answer

potent portal
#

A capture card would help take the strain off the CPU

fossil atlas
#

should I also invest into an SSD?

potent portal
#

Definitely. The answer to that is always yes.

#

It can turn a 5 minute boot up into a 30 second boot up

fossil atlas
#

thanks for the help g

wanton cliff
#

always

#

you would be a fool not to in this time

fossil atlas
#

should i have an ssd and a regular hard drive or just a big tanky ssd

wanton cliff
#

pretty well rounded

fossil atlas
#

tanky ssd and hard drive ok

wanton cliff
#

yes

#

I have 2tb in NVME and a 4tb HDD

#

its nice

fossil atlas
#

thanks for advice

wanton cliff
#

HDD is mostly used for cold storage tho

#

helps since its external

#

so its mostly pictures and stuff, with the odd COD Warzone and Cyberpunk on there as well

fossil atlas
#

couldnt i just keep all of my stuff on a 2 tb ssd?

wanton cliff
#

yeah

#

those are expensive tho

#

$200 minimum

fossil atlas
#

alright

uncut pelican
#

What cpus noctua nh l9i compatible with

small osprey
#

g o o g l e

desert gulch
#

yeah in the specs of it it should say supported sockets

stoic island
#

@uncut pelican Noctua has its own compatibility site thing

uncut pelican
brittle tinsel
#

what socket is a i5-4570s and what is a good speed ddr3 to combine with it

muted patio
#

LGA 1150

stoic island
#

It's lga 1150, ddr3 1600 should be good

brittle tinsel
#

would there happen to be any 1150 motherboards still available? the one my brother has only has 2 ram slots and 2 sata ports, we are looking to upgrade his ram, but 2 slots are fine, just seeing if there is anything dual channel mainly we need more sata ports

stoic island
#

2 ram slots should be dual channel?

brittle tinsel
#

intel h61

#

sorry

#

intel h81 gaming

muted patio
#

Is it MATX or ITX or something?

potent portal
brittle tinsel
#

m-atx

muted patio
#

Ah

brittle tinsel
#

but the case is pretty big

muted patio
#

Does it have standoffs below the motherboard?

brittle tinsel
#

so we could fit upto an atx I believe

muted patio
#

Or holes for them labeled ATX

brittle tinsel
#

Let me go check, its in my brothers room

muted patio
#

big case doesn't always mean ATX will fit

potent portal
stoic island
#

Okay I just spent the last 5 minutes figuring out what the hell the h61 was lol

muted patio
#

They're trying to get more ram slots

#

Just FYI

potent portal
#

Ah I see

muted patio
#

Yeah, more ram and SATA slots

#

That refurb lookin hot tho if it will fit

#

ALthough

gusty abyss
#

maybe find a z97 board

muted patio
#

I mean

potent portal
muted patio
#

Depending on the Mobo and ram cost, maybe a 10100 and B460 with new ram would be worth it lol

#

Cuz it'll run around that 4570

potent portal
#

Oh yeah that would definitely blow an old chip away

gusty nova
#

Anybody see any issues with parts compatibility with this build? Never built a computer before

muted patio
#

yeah, you need a bare minimum of 3200 ram

potent portal
#

Should work but faster RAM would be good

muted patio
#

3600 ideally

gusty nova
potent portal
#

Hyper 212
pls no

muted patio
#

and get an ID Cooling SSE224XT

#

$30 and better cooling

#

and all black

#

ah crap, out of stock

#

of course -_-

atomic geyser
#

ouch

#

gotta had that

muted patio
#

but yeah, 212 is oof

gusty abyss
#

212 is fine?

#

like it works

muted patio
#

Not for $45 it's not

#

hecka waste of money

gusty nova
#

needs more than 16 Gigs of RAM?

muted patio
#

Gammax 400 then

muted patio
#

3200 mhz or 3600 mhz

atomic geyser
#

im trying to find a good priced ryzen 5 5600x in canada but its IMPOSSIBLE

gusty abyss
#

oh I just assume the 212 variants are always on sale for 35 lol

#

y'all get really dramatic about them though

muted patio
#

I mean, this is $22 for the same thing

#

If not better

#

More heatpipes

#

Cuz the 212 is overpriced for what it is. Way overpriced

#

ID cooling is cheaper and cools a lot better

gusty abyss
#

that's...the same number of heat pipes

atomic geyser
#

oh nice

brittle tinsel
#

wtf why is the light so bright like that? it wasnt on the phone

muted patio
#

212 has 4

hollow grail
#

Whenever part gets iconic it becomes bad value

gusty abyss
#

and so does what you linked

muted patio
#

Crap, gammax does have 4 lol

gusty abyss
#

you goober

muted patio
#

Still, it cools better believe it or not lol

brittle tinsel
#

vintage if you look at it with your phone its a bit more clear, maybe you can tell if it can accommodate more than a M-atx

gusty abyss
#

yeah but you guys act like someone shot a puppy when they paid $5 more than necessary for a cheap tower cooler

muted patio
#

Cuz the 212 sucks

stoic island
#

some fun charts :)

muted patio
#

wait what

#

Better than the u12 also?

stoic island
#

(it is louder than u12s, that's a thing to think about)

muted patio
#

Yeah but

#

whoa

#

I didn't know it was THAT good

stoic island
#

:)

muted patio
#

I like the look of the SSE224 better tho

#

That blue fan is meh LOL

stoic island
#

Value at 50% fan speed even considering sound

hollow grail
muted patio
#

Damn son, I'm bookmarking those

stoic island
#

lol

#

"Keeping in mind that the System Builder Marathon always ends in a value competition, Deepcool's $30 Gammaxx 400 is the cooler I'd choose for value. In fact, I plan to use one in my next build. It might not be the cooler I'd always choose, but it is the one I'd choose most often, and that makes it the first low-cost part to earn the respect of an Editor's Choice award."

#

do keep in mind that is like 4 years old charts

#

so no se-224-xt comparisons

stoic island
#

yea

#

@muted patio I like the look of the gammaxx 400 v2's blue fan better, and that's generally just like 25$ too

muted patio
#

It is yeah

brittle tinsel
#

does newegg not have 1150 mobos?

muted patio
#

Those have been out of production for years TBH

#

Only thing you'll find is used or refurb

brittle tinsel
#

like damn didnt realize it was this hard to upgrade a mobo without needing to upgrade cpu and everything else

#

im fine with that if i can find em

muted patio
#

Well, when dealing with older components, it's always a PITA

brittle tinsel
#

PITA?

muted patio
#

Pain In The Ass

brittle tinsel
#

put in take away?

muted patio
#

Also

brittle tinsel
#

ah

little osprey
#

I need good air cooler suggestions

brittle tinsel
#

lmfao

muted patio
#

That's an 8 year old CPU

little osprey
#

my aio dead ig xd

muted patio
#

Just FYI

brittle tinsel
#

I know

muted patio
#

Cooler for what cpu?

prime plover
#

Was there not a shuffle today?

little osprey
#

9600k

little osprey
earnest olive
#

you shouldn't be expecting retailers to carry so much stock for 8 year old pc parts

muted patio
#

Reposting because yeah lol

earnest olive
#

8 years is a very long time in pc years

little osprey
#

isn't it so cheap ? 🤔

small osprey
muted patio
small osprey
#

what the heck

brittle tinsel
#

Im well away of what I have, it was only a $500 prebuilt for black friday last year, and he (my brother) can play majority of what he throws at it. except for dayz and tarkov because he only has 8gb ram and it can with amd installed (no amd products in it) and its taking 60% ram (amd + windows defender)

earnest olive
#

it's like asking why retailers aren't carrying spare parts for cars from the 1970s

little osprey
#

my aio having trouble so I wanna join to air cooling gang lol xd

gusty abyss
#

lol tarkov

#

I started playing that recently, that game chows down everything

brittle tinsel
#

its way easier to get car parts from the 70s vs an 8 year old cpu mobo, like i said, used/refurbished is 100% fine, aslong as its available

small osprey
muted patio
#

Just help the guy find parts 😉

gusty nova
muted patio
little osprey
brittle tinsel
#

I did awhile ago but here

small osprey
#

oh that should be good, idk why that would fail

little osprey
#

its just 3-4 moths old but

brittle tinsel
#

damn iphone has a 20mb photo ffs

muted patio
brittle tinsel
#

give it a sec

#

ah

muted patio
#

XD

little osprey
#

it stopped randomly

#

making me worry

little osprey
#

its so cheap lol is it really enough ? 🤔

muted patio
#

Uh yeah

brittle tinsel
#

and done finally

little osprey
#

i not overclocking anyways

muted patio
little osprey
#

damn xd

small osprey
#

thats actually crazy

brittle tinsel
#

I think its big enough for atx but im not sure

muted patio
# brittle tinsel

It's hard to tell, would you have a case brand and model by chance?

brittle tinsel
#

its unmarked

#

...

muted patio
#

I'm gonna DL pic and zoom in

#

BRB

little osprey
#

why would that aio stop randomly 🤔

brittle tinsel
muted patio
#

It has holes for the standoffs but I only see one installed

#

SO if you have standoffs, can def go ATX

brittle tinsel
#

can you buy standoffs or do they come with a mobo? because this didnt come with any extras

little osprey
#

yeah case looks like it can take ATX

little osprey
#

they coming with case usually but

brittle tinsel
#

oh btw heads up for anyone if you buy a prebuilt DO NOT go with lyte technology, they are ass

#

its work

#

he isnt worried about looks

little osprey
#

we're pro users lol building ourselves

earnest olive
#

$90?!

muted patio
#

I mean, it's either that or Ebay

earnest olive
#

for a refurb B85

#

that's more expensive than brand new B460

little osprey
#

crazy

earnest olive
brittle tinsel
#

Im building my next one, but for $500 to start, ive had mine 3 going on 4 years but I think I ran it to hot streaming 12 hours of tarkov a few times, cause the clock speed of the cpu is terrible, and I can barely play games I used to get 140 FPS in, so rip

brittle tinsel
potent portal
#

Well yeah but it's ancient tech at this point

#

If they really need to stick to 1150 socket

brittle tinsel
#

yeah but we cant afford to put a new cpu in em

earnest olive
#

same price Z97

little osprey
#

can aio fail couse of power issue ? 🤔

muted patio
#

Yes

hollow grail
#

i like startek

muted patio
#

Or motor burned up

#

Or air bubble got stuck and over heated motor

#

Or pump rotor oofed and is stuck

#

any number of issues

gusty abyss
#

broad category of "pump died"

muted patio
#

Yep

#

Without a tear down and electrical test, it's a guessing game

wanton cliff
#

huh

earnest olive
#

much cheaper B85

muted patio
#

To use what they have now plus more ram

earnest olive
#

that $90 Z97 board has 4 ram slots

muted patio
#

it's fine

#

patriot is fine

brittle tinsel
#

sweet

#

thanks fellas

muted patio
#

-_-

brittle tinsel
#

I wish

earnest olive
#

if you are gonna spend $90 on a board

muted patio
brittle tinsel
#

actually 1 last question

earnest olive
#

you should go for that Z97 board

#

what cpu do you have?

brittle tinsel
little osprey
#

ok problem is , it actually working right now but 3 days ago my pc started freezing and checked temps and seen my cpu is about 90C . I turned it off and checked it . pump was so hot . I cleared and reinstalled it and it worked but when listening it too close theres some noise coming from pump. it did same thing today but it worked when i reset pc xd idk whats wrong but i think I need new cooler already lol

brittle tinsel
#

i5-4570s

earnest olive
#

Z97 is compatible with the same CPUs that B85 is

muted patio
#

I5 4570s

earnest olive
#

and you could drop a 4790K in it later and OC it

brittle tinsel
#

you have a link, ill check it out

earnest olive
#

gigabyte website lists i5-4570s as a supported cpu

#

it's the same price

#

for a better feature board

brittle tinsel
#

anyway last question is will 2 different brands of ram and possible different speeds be bad? or with it work?

earnest olive
#

works

#

not optimal but works

muted patio
#

and slowest timings of the sticks

brittle tinsel
#

how would I see what the speed of the installed ram is?

earnest olive
#

easiest way

#

task manager

#

performance tab

#

memory tab

potent portal
#

Or CPU-Z which will give a lot more details

brittle tinsel
#

the speed he has is already 1600

earnest olive
#

yeah but for just the speed that's easier than downloading software

#

don't spend $90 on a B85 board at least get Z97 for the same price

brittle tinsel
#

?? I meant like if we go with the ram I linked

earnest olive
#

they should both run at 1600

junior mural
#

Why is my pc green

muted patio
#

that's usually a video card issue

junior mural
#

uh

#

Whats wrong with it theb

potent portal
#

Wow I've never seen it that bad

muted patio
#

IDK, restart?

earnest olive
#

with Z97 board you may be able to overclock the ram higher than 1600

#

B85 board cannot overclock ram

junior mural
#

Do I switch off my pc?

potent portal
#

Yes zeke

muted patio
#

Yes

#

Use the reset button

earnest olive
#

going Z97 will allow you to squeeze much more life out of the old platform

junior mural
#

Its been recently turning on and off

#

the display

#

Audio ways worked

#

What is wrong with it theb

#

Then?

earnest olive
#

if you were to later drop $80 or so on a 4770K the Z97 board would allow you to overclock it

#

combined with overclocked ddr3

#

it'll live longer

brittle tinsel
#

we all plan on building 3900x 3080 builds but because of stock issues and money (4 brothers total) it gets really pricey

earnest olive
#

3900x?

#

is it for gaming?

junior mural
#

Like idk whats wrong with it

earnest olive
#

don't buy a 3900x for gaming

brittle tinsel
#

but I appreciate your help vintage and cooling fanboy

earnest olive
#

3900x is a really bad choice for pure gaming

#

if you do non gaming tasks it is good

junior mural
#

Its also been like turing black for a few seconds then turning back on

brittle tinsel
#

I do alot, like alot alot of btoh

#

btihy

#

both***

earnest olive
#

ah

#

yeah it's a respectable choice then

#

i just see a lot of people go O_O big number ryzen 9 and buy a product that doesn't make sense for their use case

#

so just checking

brittle tinsel
#

my buddy has a 3900x and he gets high fps and hasnt really gona above 10-20% usages

muted patio
earnest olive
#

yeah it's just that 3900x isn't really better than a 3700x in any game

#

and only better than a 3600 in very few games

muted patio
#

Could be power supply issue but most likely GPU

earnest olive
#

aka cyberpunk

junior mural
earnest olive
#

so a 5600x or 10700 would generally be a better choice for pure gaming

#

but a 3900x will game pretty well while having the multicore power for non gaming tasks

brittle tinsel
#

when I have the money, if a 5900x is availble Ill spend the extra $100 but I dont think it will be available when I have the money, so theres that

earnest olive
#

5600x and 5800x are already getting pretty easy to find

brittle tinsel
#

and quite honestly, I do script compiling while gaming with my brothers and buddy, well used to before my current cpu just slowed way way down all of a sudden so the multi tasking support will help alot

earnest olive
#

hopefully 5900x will follow suit

junior mural
#

@muted patio

muted patio
#

Fan failure, CPU fan?

brittle tinsel
#

I know a guy out of Washington state that uses a 3900x to play with 4 monitors ( 2 of which are ulta wide 4k) and he has no probs gaming

muted patio
#

System fan?

#

What fan isn't spinning?

earnest olive
#

i'm not saying that the 3900x is a bad gaming chip or has problems gaming

brittle tinsel
#

well yeah but cpu handles some of the work right? after all it is the centra processing unit

junior mural
#

The fan iis spinning

#

Isk

earnest olive
#

it's just not better enough than the 3600/3700x at gaming and worse than other chips that are cheaper

muted patio
#

UNless 1080p super high FPS, 250+

earnest olive
#

so it doesn't make sense to buy for pure gaming

brittle tinsel
#

wait, so is my gpu sh*ting the bed?

earnest olive
#

i'm just checking you aren't wasting money lol

muted patio
earnest olive
#

what gpu? your i5-4570s is probably the limiting factor if you're running compiles during games

brittle tinsel
#

because when my clocks dropped, I cant play games above 720p 4:3 resolution with good fps

muted patio
brittle tinsel
#

1060 3gb

junior mural
#

Ok

earnest olive
#

yeah it's your cpu for sure

brittle tinsel
#

the 1060 3gb will be used as a temp gpu until I get a 30 series but I predict they wont be available until late 2021

#

let me say, its hard to get out of plat in siege at 720 4:3

earnest olive
#

it's a power constrained 4 thread cpu on an 8 year old architecture

gusty abyss
#

your bud's 3900x is literally like 6x the processing power

brittle tinsel
#

yeah, figured it was

earnest olive
#

only 6x?

#

no way

brittle tinsel
#

I wonder why the clocks dropped sooo fast

gusty abyss
#

starting purely on core count 🤣

earnest olive
#

ok actually it's less difference than i expected

#

like 7x

brittle tinsel
#

wait that says 2.9ghz

#

my task manager says im running 3.5

gusty abyss
#

that's the base clock

#

cpus boost higher or lower depending on what they're doing

brittle tinsel
#

I didnt even realized my prebuilt was overclocked

earnest olive
#

it's not

brittle tinsel
#

wait so its not?

earnest olive
#

that's just normal boosting behavior

#

your cpu is not capable of overclocking

brittle tinsel
#

oh thank god

earnest olive
#

also please stop cursing

gusty abyss
#

intel cpus don't oc unless they have a k at the end

brittle tinsel
#

thought I could have saved a few years on this thing, its definatle ready for a upgrade ( complete new build in my case ) given if they ever give us that $2000 stimulus

earnest olive
#

i mean the i5-4570s is definitely in the grave already

#

but LGA1150 not quite yet

brittle tinsel
#

I noticed the speeds of my cpu fall off when I did a tarkov 12 hour stream and all of a sudden like 11 hours in and the computer shut down and wouldnt power back on till the next morning

earnest olive
#

i7-4790K @ 5GHz with some 2400MHz DDR3 can still get work done

#

mostly because cpu progress was so stagnant for so long

brittle tinsel
#

yeah, well anyways im off, so you guys have a good day and thank you soo much for your help and helpful advice

earnest olive
gusty abyss
#

I was on a 4590 until a few months ago, the gen can still game but it was def showing its age

gusty abyss
#

same LOL

little osprey
#

With liquid cooling, how much fans should a gaming pc have?

gusty abyss
#

depends on the setup of your case

odd moth
#

i5-10600k with gtx1060 or Ryzen 5 3600 w/ gtx 1050 super?

gusty abyss
#

isn't that first pair just objectively better?

#

no wrong gpus nvm lol

gusty abyss

i5 and gtx 1660 super

velvet oxide
#

Hi i'm relatively new to all this and can use some help. so i'm trying to make a new pc reusing some of the more pricey parts from my current build being (intel i7 7700, nvidia 2070 super, and my current ram) don't really know where to look for a reletivly stable mother board that also has wifi and all that

#

was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations

small osprey
#

you should upgrade that 7700 first

#

before making any changes

marble cove
#

xd

small osprey
#

@velvet oxide upgrade the 7700 first, then you can upgrade other stuff like psu and whatnot

velvet oxide
#

can't at the moment as that 7700 is the max of what my current MB will work with

small osprey
#

as in

#

upgrade your cpu and mobo

#

duh

small osprey
velvet oxide
#

nope

#

im limited to the internet

small osprey
#

hm i would say, get a 10600k and a decent z490 mobo

#

what’s your budget for upgrades? @velvet oxide

velvet oxide
#

at the moment about 700

small osprey
#

ok ill make a list without gpu rq

velvet oxide
#

all in all im planning on a larger atx case solid state added on to my HD compatible with my vr and AIO cooling system

small osprey
#

you can remove some stuff, as its $100 over budget

velvet oxide
#

so what makes the i5-10600k better

small osprey
#

basically everything lol

mental steeple
#

lol wtf

ripe wedge
#

I mean its dramless

mental steeple
#

And?

#

That makes it hot garbage?

ripe wedge
#

and for price to perf its still not worth it

mental steeple
#

Yep, at that price point it isn't good.

#

But it's far from hot garbage.

ripe wedge
#

yeah

#

its better than other dramless nvme drives

#

but like

#

still not great

mental steeple
#

Most dramless NVME drives are pretty solid.

#

Save for the realkek ones

#

Most of them are better for consoomers than buying AHCI+dram drives for the same or more money.

#

not sure where this idea comes from that all dramless ssds are complete poop

ripe wedge
#

I mean they are fine for secondary drives but the os really needs that cache

mental steeple
#

It's pretty simple, the performance benefits of the NVME storage protocol outweigh the performance loss of having a dedicated dram cache.

mental steeple
#

I've seen this said so many times but there's never a reason given.

#

Sure you can have some extra prefetch data for the OS stored in there?

#

But that's fine to be stored in SRAM or HMB? The latency increase if anything would be less important for an OS

ripe wedge
#

endurance and performance will suffer

mental steeple
#

Performance won't suffer because you're not going to notice the extra latency of prefetch data being stored in HMB on your OS

#

Even pulling directly from nand won't be very noticeable with your OS's general responsiveness.

ripe wedge
#

I guess

#

moving large files to and from it im sure wouldnt be great either

mental steeple
#

The main benefit of the dram cache is benefiting small IO performance.

#

Which is the opposite of moving large files.

ripe wedge
#

oh ok well I thought wrong then

mental steeple
#

#

If you took a controller and slapped a dram cache on it it'd be better than its dramless counterpart

#

Doesn't make the dramless counterpart hot garbo

#

especially if it undercuts it reasonably

ripe wedge
#

yeah

#

but again for the price of a sn550 there will usually be a better option for a few bucks more

wut

are we generalizing a products performance because of its brand..?

wanton cliff
#

no

little osprey
#

thats what u did

wanton cliff
#

adata RAM and SSDs are bad

#

especially SSDs

little osprey
#

ur doing it again

wanton cliff
#

I cant speak for their other products but I have had that SSD and XPG RAM before

#

the heat and lifespan on both sucks ass

little osprey
#

ur generalizing a whole brand based off two products sir

potent portal

If the boot fits, wear it.
I've yet to see any ADATA SSD that's more than subpar

wanton cliff
#

dont confuse my words

mental steeple
little osprey
#

dont use inappropriate words sir

mental steeple

💃

#

SX8200 pro rn is worse than pilot-E and MP34

#

but is still like 970 evo level

little osprey

rn
inb4 another controller change

mental steeple
#

the controller change wasnt even the problem with it

#

lol

little osprey

nand

#

blah blah all that

mental steeple
#

SM2262G vs SM2262EN i 😴

potent portal
#

That would be what, the 5th change? and only one was halfway decent?

wanton cliff
#

SX8200? maybe im thinking of the 8100... either way, ive heard a lot of bad things about the 8200 as well

mental steeple
#

it's just that the original iteration was ridiculously good.

#

and thus all of the iterations look poop

little osprey
#

pilot-e and mp34 are 5 usd more than sx 8200pro

mental steeple
#

as in the original SX8200 pro had better random performance than the SK hynix p31 gold

little osprey
#

helix-L also 5 usd cheaper Thonk

oof

little osprey

@mental steeple i payed 105 usd for my p1 1tb

#

was year ago

deft walrus
#

i have an i5 but its a 10300h

wanton cliff
#

I like the 10300h

#

its in my laptop

deft walrus
#

yup

wanton cliff
#

good cpu

potent portal
#

Your 10300h is better than that 6600k

deft walrus
#

im also got a 1660 ti for lappy

wanton cliff
#

I have a 1650Ti for lappy

deft walrus
#

i know but im trying to also get a desktop

#

i can always upgrade the cpu i suppose

little osprey
#

why use sand paper for lapping when u can just use a brick

potent portal
#

With Intel you'll need to upgrade the motherboard to upgrade the CPU

deft walrus
#

ok

#

damnit

#

hmmm

potent portal
#

You could put a 6900k in there but... that's only a few % better

wanton cliff
#

id just get a... what socket does the 10300h use?

potent portal
#

lga 1200

#

Oh the h

wanton cliff
#

z490 then?

#

that uses 1200, right?

potent portal
#

Yes

#

The mobile socket number is FCBGA1440

deft walrus
#

well what would that computer be worth anyways more less

potent portal
#

"BGA" meaning soldered to the board btw

#

That computer isn't worth much more than the 1650 super alone

deft walrus
#

if we had to guess

#

damn ok

potent portal
#

Maybe if it had good storage but I doubt that on a 5 year old computer

Hey, me and my brothers all have 1 Ethernet port but would like to be able to not only hook up to the internet but also run lan to our computers for low latency lan games any ideas

wanton cliff
#

ethernet switch

hollow grail
wanton cliff
#

netgear sells them for... $100 I think? maybe $80?

hollow grail
#

tp link 8 port gigabit switch for like $30

wanton cliff
#

huh

#

even cheaper

#

I must be having memory issues today

hollow grail
#

switches are that price generally for unmanaged gigabit

wanton cliff
#

I remember seeing one for $80 on wegg or something like that

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hollow grail
#

maybe managed

#

or just bad deal

wanton cliff
#

maybe

#

it was probs managed

#

8 ports

#

gigabit

brittle tinsel
#

But would that allow lan with simultaneous network usage?

hollow grail
#

yes

wanton cliff
#

yeah

brittle tinsel
#

None. Are WiFi enables

wanton cliff
#

you can plug a modem into it

potent portal
#

I got a 5 port dumb netgear switch for $5 from a Staples that was closing near me

wanton cliff
#

router i mean

#

not modem

hollow grail
#

i used to use these for lab

brittle tinsel
#

Wait so we would split a router? There is 4 of us 2 on router 1 and 2 on router 2

hollow grail
#

until i switched entirely to unifi

wanton cliff
brittle tinsel
#

Yeah, but how would that work if there are 2 different routers?

wanton cliff
#

wdym

#

just plug 1 router in

#

ez

hollow grail
#

^^^^^^^

brittle tinsel
#

We don’t live in the city, there isn’t enough bandwidth for us all to use 1

hollow grail
#

what

brittle tinsel
#

That’s why we had to add a second

hollow grail
#

thats not how like

#

that works

wanton cliff
#

yeah...

hollow grail
#

unless you have 2 internet plans

#

for some reason

wanton cliff
#

thatd be weird

brittle tinsel
#

It’s 2 plans

ripe wedge
wanton cliff
#

why dont you, like, get a mesh network or something?

brittle tinsel
#

Mesh?

wanton cliff
#

yeah

#

like Eero or whatever

hollow grail
#

so you have 2 different isp?

brittle tinsel
#

Never heard

hollow grail
#

eero is for losers

#

amplifi only

little osprey
brittle tinsel
#

No we only have 1 isp in area but have 2 separate lines or plans added to household

wanton cliff
#

first thing that came to mind

hollow grail
#

that is not how that works

#

if they can deliver the bandwidth to you on 2 plans they can deliver it on one

wanton cliff
#

you are getting extorted

#

paying twice as much

hollow grail
#

lol

#

actually im gonna shut up

#

and just let whoever bamboozled them into getting 2 internet plans make hella commission

wanton cliff
#

heh

#

they probs getting promoted

brittle tinsel
#

50mbs down is max speed according to them but we are lucky to get 20 down

hollow grail
#

like look if you can trick ppl into doing it then

#

pog to you

brittle tinsel
#

When we move we will have access to multiple providers and gig speeds but that’s a bit away

wanton cliff
#

u sure you have a good enough modem for that

#

also who is your ISP?

hollow grail
#

guessing comcast

brittle tinsel
#

It’s dsl and all they will allow us to use is their router modem combo

potent portal

This whole thing screams scam

brittle tinsel

Only one avail in area
