And maybe P2, SN550, 665p

#

awwww

#

What's the pricing for the evo plus and the 860 evo?

warm swift
#

yeah that store doesnt have that many stuff

stoic island
#

You can give me local price I'll just quickly convert from egp to usd

warm swift
#

still really really expensive but yeah...

#

thats what i get for living in egypt

stoic island
#

oh fun, 860 evo for sure then

#

that price difference is just

#

yikes

warm swift
#

yeah the price of the 860 evo is much better for my brother, i dont think there is a big big difference between the 860 evo and the 970 evo plus

#

in terms of speed

stoic island
#

very small practical difference

#

Does anyone know if a 750w psu is good enough for a 3070 and a Ryzen 9 3900x (No overclocking will be done)

warm swift
stoic island
#

mhm

warm swift
# stoic island mhm

ay question, so basically i think ima get my brother the td500 mesh case, do you know any good fans i can buy?

stoic island
#

The fans that come with the case is good enough

#

the 3 stock fans

warm swift
#

yeah but what about the other 4

#

because hes getting an aircooler, not an aio

warm swift
stoic island
#

uh what

#

other 4

#

what

#

@warm swift 3 stock is enough

#

for air

warm swift
#

what

stoic island
#

No need for extra fans even if you're doing air cooling

#

3 stock front fans good enough

#

only gains might be an exhaust fan, no reason to buy another 4

warm swift

stoic island
#

Freezer ii, Galahad, EK-AIO

warm swift
#

thats not in egypt

stoic island
#

you can check GN video if you want the graph

#

ick you want asetech stuff?

#

@warm swift what do you have

warm swift
#

Deepcool and Corsair

stoic island
#

ick went out of stock too lmao

sage crown
stoic island
#

ehm

#

@sage crown question, what's it for

sage crown
#

gaming sorry

#

with WIFI

stoic island
#

quick question on the part choice too, why those?

#

it's just

#

interesting

#

3080 suprim sells for like same price as 3090 msrp last I saw it :P

#

it's an absolutely ridiculously priced 3080 imo

sage crown
#

i dont know this is my first time the person i was talking to builds computers and say its good and the RTX 3080 is for any did not find the image of a reguler one

stoic island
#

@warm swift sadly GN doesn't have noise normalized earlier cooler charts, but generally, NZXT gen 6 > Corsair gen 6 > others

#

@sage crown welp, as good a time as any to learn, to start, different models usually mean very little to performance (just stay away from ventus if you ever want to OC)

hallow grove
#

uh..

#

i was looking a tiny bit more into my issue and i stumbled upon a forum of someone having the exact issue im having

#

and they claimed that turning their power limit % on msi afterburner actually fixed their issue

sage crown
#

ok

stoic island
#

Interesting, try that then

hallow grove
#

yea

stoic island
#

@sage crown that is for graphics card by the way

#

other models matter

sage crown
#

@stoic island what would you change on the build

stoic island
#

but GPUs, all the models of the same chip are usually about the same

#

What's the total budget?

hallow grove
#

i just turned the power limit up and and ive had furmark running at highest resolution fullscreen for like 5 minutes now and no issues yet..

sage crown
#

2k-2.5k USD

hallow grove
#

i am really hoping this actually is a fix for it

warm swift
stoic island
#

Go with the H150i pro then

warm swift
#

the normal one or the XT?

stoic island
#

@sage crown I might have to go soon, but first, cheaper mobo, I believe z490-plus wifi is a decent price, ram wise, you can go cheaper for 3200 c16 and not lose much perf, SSD can't take use of pcie 4.0 on 10th gen

#

Monitor wise, grab M27q

autumn wolf
#

different cooler too unless youre content with that evo, mr1111

#

idk how you feel about the vetroo air cooler

stoic island
#

i go very soon, gammaxx 400 time

#

vetroo not enough data

warm swift
autumn wolf
#

dont know much on them so i cant give any good recommendations. I personally use CableMod but theyre expensive and i know a lot of people dont like their prices

worn wave
#

Thermaltake has some cheap extensions dont they

#

I mean you could just buy asiahorse ones or something

warm swift
#

alright cablemod it is but i dont want to get the whole kit, i want to buy only those 3 ones so do you know which kit i should go for?

unknown.png
warm swift
worn wave
#

Obviously cablemod is one of the best

#

but asiahorse is cheap

#

way cheaper

#

CableMod classic extensions are like $50

warm swift
worn wave
#

I have no idea

#

they are cables...

#

you cant tell

warm swift
worn wave
#

You might be able to buy the single cables on their website

autumn wolf
#

you can buy individuals or certain kits or smaller kits that dont include every cable

#

also i believe cablemod charges shipping

worn wave
#

they do

850w PS good for a 3080?

rich helm
languid nimbus
#

Oof

blazing aurora
real flicker
#

good 650w to 700w psu? full modular

rich helm
muted patio
real flicker
rich helm
#

The phanteks amp is good but 25 bucks more

real flicker
#

is the 25 more worth it though

muted patio
#

The tests that were done

rich helm
#

I would search up LTT psu tier list for a comprehensive list of psu rankings

muted patio
#

Segotep is a solid B

rich helm
#

Is phanteks amp also a B?

muted patio
#

They're also the OEM manufacturer for TONS of power supplies

#

😉

little osprey
#

So I’ve owned my PC for 3 months now and I’ve had the issue where it’ll just shut off mid use with no codes or errors. This has happened twice and when I try turning it back on absolutely nothing happens. The mobo is on as you can see the LEDs on, and the ram sticks light up (they’re rgb) but when pressing the power button in either the front i/o or in the power button directly on the motherboard absolutely nothing happens. Tried checking for every connection on the mobo to see if something is lose and reconnecting everything but nothing happens. On both occasions I had to unscrew the PSU, and reconnect all the power cables and then miraculously it turns back on. This issue is not common at all but it worries me that it might happen with more frequency

#

Should I change my psu or is something else the issue

muted patio
#

Phanteks Amp is A tier

real flicker
#

unfortunately the Segotep 650W Fully Modular isnt on uk amazon and itll be the wrong plug from your link

stoic island
#

scratch that

real flicker
#

10 quid more for full modular

muted patio
#

I mean, semi vs full, you need the 24 and 8 pin anyway.

real flicker
#

yeah true, just quicker delivery aha

muted patio
#

Ah, that might matter

stoic island
#

I believe TXm might have jap caps when RM doesn't

#

but don't quote me on that

real flicker
#

whats that

muted patio
#

Japanese capacitors have a reputation for being higher quality than chinese. Manufacturers are using it as a selling point.

stoic island
#

Yea, and higher rated temps @muted patio

#

It's a generalization of Japanese caps usually being the best of all other caps

real flicker
#

does that matter much?

stoic island
#

not much, but it's quality

#

@real flicker and by the way, I don't think RM 650 is in stock on amazon?

real flicker
#

but think im gunna get it from overclockers uk anyways with my new case

stoic island
#

Oh well, it's not in stock on my end

#

Corsair RMx is great, Seasonic Focus GX is great, Phanteks amp is great, any of em will work for full mod

#

But do keep in mind Full mod is barely different than semi mod imo

real flicker
#

brillant cheers

#

is rmx worth 20 quid more them rm

stoic island
#

ehh, I'd say maybe worth 10gbp more

#

20 a bit much

#

@real flicker check Focus GX pricing

#

since that looks like ~100gbp all around for me

real flicker
#

rm is 87 and focus gx is 103

stoic island
#

fun

#

Says 80gbp on pcpp, but says 93gbp on my end

real flicker
#

yeah 94.95

stoic island
#

weird

#

pcpp is being dumb

real flicker
#

got plenty of options

#

my new case is the lian li 2 mesh performance

#

got the cooler master mb520 atm but its not great

stoic island
#

says 75gbp on my end

real flicker
#

yep 75

stoic island
#

ick I mixed up whisper m and formula gold, both are great but that one is not modular

rich helm
stoic island
#

what

#

@rich helm right now it's showing stuff at the wrong price, or showing a price that doesn't exist, for items so uh

real flicker
#

yeah i got a non modular atm and i hate it cause theres just so many excess cables

stoic island
#

oh well

#

amazon wack

#

@real flicker with decent cases you can usually just stuff the excess into the back and it's just fine

real flicker
#

if only mine was decent aha

rich helm
#

I tried to add the nr200 buy press buy on Amazon on pcpp and it added this random alternate seller that was 20 bucks more not even on the same product I had to search it up myself and the actual official one was there

stoic island
#

hey, lancool ii mesh should be able to fit excess out back

#

but if you think it's worth spending 10-20 quid for modular, your choice

real flicker
#

yeah should do but also upgrading the psu in prep for potential 6000 series amd gpu

muted patio
#

Which one?

real flicker
#

6800xt max

sharp mason
#

@uncut pelican I have that ram

stoic island
#

You'd want a 750w PSU or so if you do want to go 6800xt

real flicker
#

maybe lower as seems the 6800 is better for your money

muted patio
#

Yeah, XT needs a bigger PSU

#

GPU alone will pull 300+ watts

uncut pelican
#

I bought it for my client

real flicker
#

yeah just need to look at benchmarks between the two and see if they are worth it

muted patio
#

If just using ram at XMP, brand/model doesn't really matter

#

It only matters for overclocking

little osprey
#

Can an EVGA GT 650W gold handle a rtx 3060Ti

sharp mason
uncut pelican
#

Thats good to hear how long have you had them?

#

And also 2 or 4 sticks

sharp mason
#

uhhhh about 2 months mabye and 2 sticks

uncut pelican
#

I only bought them because they weren't too expensive and were short. I am doing a mini itx build in the velka 3

uncut pelican
sharp mason
#

cool i just finished a ATX build

uncut pelican
#

Very nice

#

Whats your gpu

sharp mason
#

not the greatest

#

Nvidia geforce RTX 1080

#

soo

#

not amazing

uncut pelican
#

Better than my laptop

#

So could be better

sharp mason
#

XD LOL probably

uncut pelican
#

*worse

muted patio
#

RTX 1080?

uncut pelican
#

I have a 1060 in my laptop

#

3070 in pc

#

bit of a difference

sharp mason
#

it's crap

muted patio
#

That doesn't exist

uncut pelican
#

LOL your right

sharp mason
#

OOP

#

XD LOL

uncut pelican
#

1080 ti?

sharp mason
#

nvidea geforce 1080

#

yea

muted patio
#

Ah, 1080 still capable

#

1080TI even more so

uncut pelican
#

They are still good cards

still roostBOT
#
_Phil#0444 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

sharp mason
#

i want 3070

uncut pelican
#

oopsies

uncut pelican
sharp mason
#

yea

uncut pelican
#

I dont need one tho

sharp mason
#

i don't want 80 cuz it's to expensive

uncut pelican
#

its only 200 more

sharp mason
#

ONLY

uncut pelican
#

but i dont have a job

muted patio
#

Honestly, 3070 kinda bad value. 3060TI only has ~10% less performance

#

You're paying a TON for hardly any performance gain

sharp mason
#

yea i don't have a job either

uncut pelican
#

Well

#

I build computers

sharp mason
#

i just finished my frist one

uncut pelican
sharp mason
#

i needed it for my YT vids

muted patio
#

It was OK at MSRP's before the tariffs hit

sharp mason
#

yea

#

idk what that means

muted patio
#

WDYM for YT vids. 3060 does quite well even at 1440p

sharp mason
#

NO

#

i mean

#

i needed a new computer for my YT vids

muted patio
#

Ah

uncut pelican
#

I bought my 3070 for 492

#

best buy coupon worked somehow

sharp mason
#

XD LOL

uncut pelican
#

Best buy: No coupons for fancy gpu
Also best buy: ooo coupon

sharp mason
#

XD lol tru dat

sharp mason
#

WDYM????

little osprey
sharp mason
#

youi

#

you

little osprey
#

oh

#

ok

#

i meant that 1080 is still a nice card nowadays

#

and after that i meant that PSU can handle this card but this also depends on TDP from CPU , pc cooling , etc.

#

.-.

sharp mason
#

oh

#

sorry

fossil halo
#

1080 is good

#

but its not worth more than like

sharp mason
#

i hjave 1080 though

#

have*

fossil halo
#

wait

#

what are you saying

#

i dont wanna scroll up

sharp mason
#

i'm saying i have 1080

fossil halo
#

yea

#

and

sharp mason
#

and?

#

and what?

wanton cliff
#

Jacob

fossil halo
#

nani

#

i am confused

little osprey
#

what

wanton cliff
#

Reason we don’t usually ask CPU and things like that when someone asks PSU and GPU

little osprey
wanton cliff
#

Is because generally a CPU only pulls so much power next to a comparable GPU

sharp mason
#

... elaborate

wanton cliff
#

And definitely a lot less than a GPU

little osprey
sharp mason
#

WAIT

#

qq

wanton cliff
#

A person with a 1660 super is seldom going to have something better than a 10600, for example

sharp mason
#

qq=quick question

muted patio
#

5900x only pulls 150W. 650 is more than enough to cover it. Fans don't pull hardly anything, neither does water cooling.

#

Nor do drives

sharp mason
#

qq

#

uhm

#

so

wanton cliff
#

Also CPUs don’t pull nearly as much power as GPUs do

fossil halo
#

yea

sharp mason
#

what does a CPU do exactly?

#

...

wanton cliff
#

Compute algorithms

sharp mason
#

ok

fossil halo
#

it does calculations

sharp mason
#

so

fossil halo
#

WELL

#

oops caps

#

like

sharp mason
#

in a nutshell

fossil halo
#

every part of your computer does calculations so that was a bit of a dumb answer

sharp mason
#

the MOBO provides the code/algorithm and the CPU decodes that?

wanton cliff
#

GPU is more optimized for graphical renders (it usually has a lot more cores running at lower clocks)

#

A motherboard is more like the nervous system

fossil halo
#

motherboard is the transport

sharp mason
#

ok

wanton cliff
#

Other things provide the info, the motherboard is the gateway through which that info gets transported

sharp mason
#

so computer anatomy 101?

#

ok

#

makes sense

#

so if i have this correct

#

for storage and stuff like that

fossil halo
#

pcie lanes and stuff being examples

#

of how the cpu uses the motherboard to send info to the gpu and whatnot

wanton cliff
#

Ok, bigga

#

Wait a second

fossil halo
#

im actually not very well versed with computer hardware

#

so im just like

wanton cliff
#

Let him ask

#

And shush please

fossil halo
#

ok boss

sharp mason
#

the ram is short term and storage is long term if you have 32 bit then you're computer can only access 4GB of ram and if you have 64 you're computer can access 2tb which means faster computer cuz you have less stuff in long-term and more in short-term?

muted patio
#

Ram is limited on most motherboards to 128GB

fossil halo
#

yea 128 or 256

wanton cliff
#

32 bits OSes just are built different tbh

#

Literally

fossil halo
#

tru

#

m1 intensifies

wanton cliff
#

Also

fossil halo
wanton cliff
#

Literally no reason to go with a 32 bit OS these days

sharp mason
fossil halo
#

well like ram and storage do two different things dont they

sharp mason
#

well

muted patio
#

Ram is just extra cache for the CPU

wanton cliff
#

Storage is long term and quite a bit slower, RAM is short term and very fast and malleable

fossil halo
#

ram is poggers

sharp mason
#

i thought that RAM was short term and the more you have the more you can have in short-term mem cuzit's ez too pull out of there

fossil halo
#

rgb ram is faster than non rgb ram and thats a fact

muted patio
sharp mason
#

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#

ok

#

so

#

ryzen 7

fossil halo
#

its like

#

what stores ur

#

chrome tabs

sharp mason
#

do you guys have ryzen 7?

fossil halo
#

yea

#

i do

#

i think vintage and sara do too actually

muted patio
#

3700x

fossil halo
#

yea same

sharp mason
#

so does anyone here have ryzen 7?

fossil halo
#

but when ur cpu is used more on startup than when ur gaming || 😭 ||

fossil halo
#

there are a lot of "ryzen 7"

sharp mason
#

oh

#

uhh hang on

fossil halo
#

thats literally the same broadness as i7

#

bc r7 meant to compete with i7

#

idek why i got a 3700x

#

should have spent that money on non jet turbine case fans

sharp mason
#

i'm pretty sure 3700x

fossil halo
#

yea

#

what about that specific cpu

sharp mason
#

so

#

in the BIOS

#

i was in it the other day

#

and

#

i noticed it was like

#

CORE BOOST

#

so i turned it on

fossil halo
#

bruh

sharp mason
#

and i hear my cpu fan going RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

fossil halo
#

lmfao

muted patio
#

Well yeah

sharp mason
#

so what exactly is it doing?

muted patio
#

More boost = more heat

fossil halo
#

probably an overclock

muted patio
#

Higher frequency

fossil halo
#

yea

#

which cpu fan are you using

sharp mason
#

OHHHHHHHHHHH

#

ok

#

so

fossil halo
#

unless you have like a good cpu cooler

sharp mason
#

if

#

i

fossil halo
#

dont do that

sharp mason
#

turn

#

it

#

on

#

while

#

i

#

am

#

playing like minecraft or somthing

#

will i

#

notice

muted patio
#

Man

sharp mason
#

a change in frame rate?

muted patio
#

Mebbe, probs not

fossil halo
#

||bro dont do that mods gets triggered at "walls of text"||

muted patio
#

Triggered? It's spamming

fossil halo
#

that is true

sharp mason
#

oh oops

fossil halo
#

i used to be like that and i have not totally lost those bad habits

#

just type a super long line

#

its less spam but its still the same content

sharp mason
#

true ok

#

so

hallow grove
#

Hey vintage! Wanted to say thanks again for last night. I actually managed to fix my problem

#

Going into my radeon software (or alternatively msi afterburner) and turning up the power limit % actually fixed it

austere wagon
#

Hey peeps so i have an MSI Tomohawk B450 Max motherboard with LED i was wonder as to how to change the LED color

#

people recommended the MSI gaming app but i couldnt find a download for it

#

besides on phone

fossil halo
#

should be in msi dragon center

#

thats where all the msi rgb is controlled

#

idk rgb software is generally kinda cancer

austere wagon
#

where do i download that though the website doesnt give an option to download

fossil halo
#

lemme find a link

austere wagon
#

nah i found it

#

MSI websites are garbage

icy thunder
#

Damn cooler is just big enough to block my first ram slot

austere wagon
#

oof

#

This is a sad day

#

Might have to shave some of the cooler off

#

Somehow

#

I really don't wanna take the cooler off tho

muted patio
#

I was gonna say, just rotate it around if you can?

icy thunder
#

Still too big

#

The cooler is supposed to leave room for ram

#

But it's just barely too big

#

I tried putting the ram in a little crooked but the top won't click

stoic island
#

oof

hi

#

sned help my budget is 900 for a pc and idk anything about pc buliding

muted patio
#

$900 for just a tower or accessories also?

little osprey
#

just for tower

#

i think

#

whats a tower/?

muted patio
#

Easy enough. Except the GPU part

#

The box the PC is in, the case

#

AKA, tower

little osprey
#

o

#

yea just tower

#

already have accessories

wanton cliff
#

3060Ti, 5600x w/ Gammaxx 400, 16 gigs 3800mhz

#

Or something like that

muted patio
#

Oof, nevermind, that mobo pricey lol

#

Lemme grab anbother one

little osprey
#

nice budget build

muted patio
#

Leaves a little extra for a more expensive GPU or a CPU cooler if you want one

#

Or an extra drive if 1TB isn't enough

#

etc

little osprey
#

dont cpus come with a cooler?

muted patio
#

Yes

little osprey
#

this is perfect thanks

muted patio
#

YW

little osprey

Cool, basically been dealing with a weird issue. My mobo i got from newegg few months ago doesnt seem to want to post with my hardware. I have an asus crosshair x570 board and i think my gpu has sensitivity issues with the slots. I tried other gpu but its something with the slots. It gets power 30 percent of the time when i seat it. And i have to remove the slot lock to get it to fully seat. But anyway, keep getting boot error codes. Vga white light stays on every reboot, get error code 02 and AA. Rarely it eventually turns green and signals video to monitor but 90 percent doesnt want to.

#

Gpu was 5700xt cpu was 3900x

muted patio
#

What CPU?

wanton cliff
#

What kind of power supply also

muted patio
#

Ah

wanton cliff

Modular or semi modular

#

Or neither

@foggy sparrow whats ur budget?

muted patio
#

it should fit

foggy sparrow
#

Hello can someone help me I want to build a computer with my neice

wanton cliff
#

Ok

pliant slate
#

hmm what would happen if i get a pcie riser and insert another 3080 for mining? that wouldn't work at all?

muted patio
wanton cliff
#

What’s your budget and predicted use

foggy sparrow
#

$500 to 1000

pliant slate
#

no sli = only standalone gpu mining for 3080's? anyone know

muted patio
#

That's.....quite the range

wanton cliff
foggy sparrow
#

gaming for her

stoic island
#

@pliant slate mining doesn't use sli

#

There are different ways to use multi-gpu

pliant slate
#

oh wait does that mean i can connect a 1070ti using pcie riser to my 3080 build?

#

that doesn't work right

stoic island
#

what

sk#2511 has been warned

#

sry im dumb

muted patio
pliant slate
#

i'll have to read into it

muted patio
#

$800 with some wiggle room

stoic island
#

@pliant slate desktop use needs sli to use them both at once

foggy sparrow
#

I kinda know what we want but I need to put a price list together

little osprey
little osprey
#

just mining

muted patio
pliant slate
#

interesting ill have to look more into it, never knew about that thx

stoic island
#

I don't see a point of using riser for a 1070ti just for mining but ok

#

@little osprey 1070ti decent hash rate?

little osprey
#

About 104$ a month

pliant slate
#

what would be alternative to riser?

stoic island
#

oh nice

little osprey
stoic island
#

eth I assume

little osprey
#

if it cant fit you need a riser

pliant slate
#

i don't have a legit mining rig, just my home pc

little osprey
foggy sparrow
#

vintage I am really new at this

wide sigil
#

Any chance 3900x preventing board from booting

stoic island
#

wot

pliant slate
#

thx mando i'll google a bit and hit you up if i get any more questions if that's alright

stoic island
#

"3900x preventing board from booting"
So no boot and trying to figure out what's wrong?

little osprey
#

then run miner

#

its that simpl,e

pliant slate
#

what about mobo?

wide sigil
#

Yeah its either gpu or cpu i think the CPU might have defects keep getting aa code for microcode issues

pliant slate
#

how simple can it be?

little osprey
#

you just put the riser into gpu and mobo

#

thats it

stoic island
#

@wide sigil so does it boot or not boot

foggy sparrow
#

Vintage you still here

wide sigil
#

Pc will power on cant get into bios with hdmi or displayport monitors

muted patio
#

SOrry, work

stoic island
#

So do you have post code..?

wide sigil
#

Its q code 02 every reboot

#

Both green and white vga light

#

Asus doesnt have q clue why it wont boot but i had those issues on 2 of the x570 boards

stoic island
#

Try swapping monitor cable

wide sigil
#

I tried that too

foggy sparrow
#

Is there anyone else that can help with oarts

stoic island
#

Then reset cmos time

wide sigil
#

I wish i knew what the issue was but on another mobo my stuff works fine

#

I tried reflashing new bios too

#

Tried cmos too

pliant slate
#

@little osprey i see lots of people use z390 .. is it "better" for mining rigs? i don't get it

little osprey
#

No

#

motherboard/cpu doesnt matter

#

it just needs pcie slots

#

dont buy a mining rig unless you are ready to file an LLC and deduct it as a business expense

wide sigil
#

Maybe for oc or energy efficiency

little osprey
stoic island
#

Tried and failed or did flash new bios

#

@little osprey eth should like higher mem?

wide sigil
#

Flashing bios passes fine

stoic island
#

core doesn't matter tho

little osprey
wide sigil
#

Just cant figure out what triggers a successful boot

little osprey
#

just needs power delivery

stoic island
#

ah misread

wide sigil
#

1 out of 100 times it boots

pliant slate
#

thx for tip

stoic island
#

Fun things, next could try flashing to an older bios

wide sigil
#

Asus doesnt allow it

#

They used to

stoic island
#

what

wide sigil
#

If i reflash older bios wont pass

stoic island
#

Won't pass what

wide sigil
#

Asus flashback has a light indicator on whether its flashing or nkt

#

If the file is missing or rejected it doesnt flash

stoic island
#

That's annoying......

wide sigil
#

But i think it's just hardware related

stoic island
#

IF everything works if you swap them onto a different board, there's really very little left that might be remedied on the motherboard

wide sigil
#

Its the best premium board for 3900x, it would suck to switch it out

stoic island
wide sigil
#

I did

#

Worked fine

stoic island
#

Then it's most likely down to manufacturer defects, if you already made sure everything else is correct, flashed bios a couple of times, reset cmos a bit, reseat ram a bit, etc.

wide sigil
#

That sucks lol

#

It takes a while to reinstall everything

#

Does rubbing alcohol help

little osprey
#

wait

wanton cliff
#

finally

#

something for you to bike with

little osprey
#

Yes.

#

I can mount motherboards to it

stoic island
#

Eh, not really, usually nothing just goes wrong if things are dirty

little osprey
#

i plan to buy a threadripper

#

and mount an eatx board to it

#

and prob build a box to house the AIO

stoic island
#

The heck

#

@little osprey why

little osprey
#

I don't want to lug atx desktop to school

stoic island
#

...

little osprey
#

I can't carry atx desktop to school

#

It too heavy

#

ATX motherboard backpack with 3070

#

easy

stoic island
#

Itx time

little osprey
#

Im too cheap

#

so imma weld something like this

stoic island
#

Lol

little osprey
#

ITX build requires a whole new x570 board

#

to house both my PCIE Gen4 M,2's

#

You can always do something like this

wide sigil
#

This happened lol, my heatsink pulled it right out of the cpu slot. Anyway, is this fine?

20210223_132036.jpg
little osprey
#

mount the GPU either vertically or horizontally

Thank god lol

Don't see any bent pins

I don't see any bent pins

next time you go to remove

little osprey
#

Be careful

lol

and make sure not to pull out with all your grip

muted patio
#

Run a benchmark like Cinebench for a while to warmit up and make the paste soft

wide sigil
#

The paste was a bit heavy..m

fossil halo
#

lmao

little osprey
#

So yeah, would there be anyway to wire a usb port on this?

#

So I would be able to connect an external usb keyboard/mouse

#

I'd assume since it has a charging port, it uses the power to another connector.

#

twist THEN pull

little osprey
#

wait

#

isn't it pull?

#

Nvm

gusty abyss
#

I bent a handful of pins on my 3700x doing that

little osprey
#

Cause my ryzen comes on straight

#

Even when the thermal paste was applied?

gusty abyss
#

you gotta twist to disengage the paste

little osprey
#

ah

gusty abyss
#

otherwise what happened to nicegame/me happens and you'll just yank the cpu right out of the socket

little osprey
#

Is that like heavily applied paste?

muted patio
#

Also

#

heat it up first

little osprey
#

Like paste that has been setting for a while?

muted patio
#

Cinebench for 20 minutes or so

little osprey
#

Cause my paste was in for 6 months

muted patio
#

Get the paste soft

little osprey
#

and took it out... nothing really happened.

gusty abyss
#

how long it's been there doesn't really matter

desert gulch
#

heat up is nice

#

easy to do on stock cooler lol

gusty abyss
#

I'm just lucky none of my pins BROKE broke

desert gulch
#

all you have to do on stock cooler is just like open a game

#

at least on wraith stealth

#

the stock paste on stealth was pretty gluey

little osprey
#

oh...

I've got 4 sticks of ram, yet 1 of my slots is slighty covered

little osprey

and mount it to the top of the backpack.

#

then I have plenty of USB

#

Ah CRap

#

how do I power the pc?

#

Lol

#

I'd need an outlet

#

is there anything like a UPS?

potent portal
little osprey
#

Is there anything similar to a UPS

#

accept like an external battery for outlet.

#

Hmm.

#

Could you run AC off of USB?

potent portal
#

You could use a UPS and plug it in when you can, but a battery big enough for any gaming will be heavy.

little osprey
#

use the sun?

wanton cliff
#

thats 25,000 mAh

#

used for phones and such

little osprey
#

Time to buy a UPS

wanton cliff

idk how much a PC uses but probably more than that

thats kinda the point

whether the affect is negative or positive depends on the silicon quality

If I get that card will I have to pc anything

Else

little osprey

Hmm, how would you do standoffs?

wicked frigate
#

Ok

little osprey
#

Can you make custom standoffs?

#

I'd need to ground the pc to the bag.

wanton cliff

I never get lucky silicon; as such, I am never able to OC

you could get a better cooler for cheaper

and a better board for cheaper

#

and faster RAM

#

especially because its a 5600x

and that PSU is not only bad but severely underpowered

little osprey
#

Im having issues. How would you mount the gpu without sag.

small osprey
#

that build is not very good

#

at all

little osprey

cause for a sagbracket, you need a flat surface.

because CL14 3800mhz

id go with a better ssd

that I didnt change

I would change ram and SSD, in retrospect

desert gulch

yea

wanton cliff

didnt realize ram was so expensive

desert gulch

yeah id go with crucial ballistics

oh its bdie

i think

yeah but imo not worth still

small osprey

yea

wanton cliff
desert gulch

well the real question is is it worth that much more?

wanton cliff
#

also you could fit a Dark Rock Pro 4 in a P400a iirc

wanton cliff

is it a $100 difference over 3600 c16?

on a 5600x, very yes

does the normal b550 even have flashback

@wanton cliff just get any non trash bdie tbf

3200c14 is like $110 or smth

then OC

wanton cliff
#

I dont like to take the chance with silicon

#

especially since I never get a lucky draw myself

#

I'll pay a bit more for a guarantee

cursive wharf

3200c14 is usually pretty good bin

small osprey

b die is a good guarantee already

not for me KEK

with 1800 fclk

ye, voltages need to be played with a fair bit

small osprey

is hei even pronounced like hey

cursive wharf
#

all the timings are fun

wanton cliff
#

most of the reason I dont OC is because I dont have the time to find the right voltage mixed with the right timings and right clock and all that

little osprey

the other part of the reason is because I never get good silicon

Ive been trying to figure motherboard flexing for the past 30 minutes

do I use steel and straight up mount it to the backpack

muted patio
#

Uh

little osprey
#

or use something solid like a piece of plywood

muted patio
#

You want non-condutive

little osprey
#

and then mount steel

#

and standoffs

#

Because Mounting the motherboard to a steel backplate on standoffs has an issue, with the backpack constantly moving, it will flex the board

muted patio
#

Are you using a coke can or a decent thickness of steel?

#

And why steel?

#

use aluminum
