@ me if you need me

[muted patio]

Thx Fitz

[wanton cliff]

Battery, out

Power, drained

Pizza, ready for consumption

Also I think that was the fastest I’ve ever taken a GPU out of my system

Took me 10 seconds for screws, 1.5 for power cables, 2 for HDMI/DP cables, and one for bracket/actually taking GPU out

[desert gulch]

use hammer and its way faster

[wanton cliff]

Heh

Damn, pizza still hot

Does turning PSU off have same affect as unplugging power?

[potent portal]

Yes technically

Some bad PSUs won't fully cut power though

[abstract birch]

Yeah, I was going to say something similar. It's supposed to but cheap psu's might cut corners

[wanton cliff]

Phanteks AMP? I don’t want to have to reset the power again

[potent portal]

Nah that one's fine

[wanton cliff]

I know it’s a good PSU but still

Still nada

@potent portal

[vagrant olive]

just bought like 350 usd of stuff from newegg lmao im surprised my card didnt decline at all

[potent portal]

Ugh Visa loves to auto decline large orders from wegg

But still no BIOS screen? weird

[muted patio]

Depends on the bank TBH

My CU is overly sensitive about some things

However, I appreciate that and deal with it because it's saved our bacon before

[vagrant olive]

as long as my bank is actually gonna stop a fraud charge

i dont mind being declined

[muted patio]

not to mention my FIXED 9% interest rate lol

I get credit card offers in the mail all the time and laugh at the Variable 22% APR they offer

[vagrant olive]

one time i got a charge for a pack of hot dogs in michigan

[still roost]

dnger#9842 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vagrant olive]

like damn son thats weak

if ur gonna do a fraud charge go all out buy like 100 mining gpus or smt

one time i was at a low point in my life and i bought among us discord stickers and it blocked that

[still roost]

dnger#9842 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vagrant olive]

it was 99 cents

damn

at that point just go back to ur car find a couple coins in between the seats

[still roost]

dnger#9842 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vagrant olive]

oh my god i am going to get banned

[buoyant junco]

just had a question on mounting this aio - my case has 2 front intake fans, and the only place to mount the aio is on the front since it's a double, and the other ports on the case are for singles. if I put the radiator inside the case, behind the case fans, can I put the 2 fans that came with the aio on the other side of the radiator, as long as they're both intake fans?

[vagrant olive]

i dont rly th ink about what i type

[muted patio]

I've noticed

[wanton cliff]

So, Fal’Cie, I’m done for the night

[muted patio]

XD

[wanton cliff]

I’ll probably load my miner up in windows but idk what to do about bios

[muted patio]

Can't get in AT ALL

[vagrant olive]

its not an issue most places

[muted patio]

I swear like a sailor in real life

No issues here

Just ask my wife lol

[vagrant olive]

yes

[muted patio]

Like, can't get in at all? Try another kb?

[vagrant olive]

if theyre both intake then its fine

[wanton cliff]

Lemme explain

I keep pressing button and trying to get in through windows troubleshooting menu as well, but when BIOS is loading in it just stays black

[muted patio]

This is odd

I'll research for tomorrow

[wanton cliff]

I noticed the screen turning from ‘off’ to ‘actual black pixels showing’ but nothing else

[polar python]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rdvmvf

[muted patio]

Tried a different video out port on the monitor?

[polar python]

can someone revise my list?

[wanton cliff]

Tried 3 different monitors, each wielding 3 different cords

[muted patio]

I meant ports in the card

[wanton cliff]

Yep

Still

Is it possible it loaded into my Index’s lenses?

I highly doubt it

[muted patio]

LOL

yes, entirely possible

Those should be unplugged

[wanton cliff]

I don’t think windows even recognizes Index lenses as a screen unless SteamVR is on

[muted patio]

You'd be surprised

[wanton cliff]

I’ll try tomorrow

[muted patio]

👍

[vagrant olive]

sure

whats ur budget

[wanton cliff]

Only a 250gb SN550?

Why?

That’s the only storage in system tho

[muted patio]

Actually looks decent

SFF/ITX build

nice

[wanton cliff]

Agreed

[muted patio]

Don't see those too often

[wanton cliff]

Weird storage tho

[muted patio]

Probs OS drive with another drive they already have

[wanton cliff]

Maybe, but nobody just buys an SN550 250gb unless they plan to put an OS on it in a budget build, and that’s a pretty bad drive for an expensive ITX build

Well

Rather, you could do better

Not necessarily bad

Or something from Sabrent or Hynix

A P31 or something

Never mind, good deal

If it’s still available

Speaking of, Mr1111 found a B550 $80 off today. Some really expensive Asrock board

Supposed to be pretty good

[muted patio]

yeah, the Valencia or something?

[wanton cliff]

Only $121 on wegg or something

Something like that

I was looking at B550s earlier and he found it

[vagrant olive]

b550 aorus pro ac tho 😳👉👈

[wanton cliff]

I got that as a deal on wegg

It’s in my system now

Secondary drive for games

Fun

Why did you do that tho

[desert gulch]

100 970 is pog

mehh tax evasion might help with finances

[wanton cliff]

Possibly

[polar python]

dont need anything more

just need a fast boot

[polar python]

around $1k

[desert gulch]

itll be just a boot drive?

[polar python]

1070 is temporary btw

yes, ryan.

[desert gulch]

why 550 tho

[polar python]

why not?

[muted patio]

It's $40

[polar python]

seems good for the price.

[muted patio]

It's fine for reads

and loads

Just not big writes

[desert gulch]

isnt there way faster out there tho?

[muted patio]

Not for $40

[desert gulch]

ig

[muted patio]

as far as I know

[desert gulch]

why get a only boot 250 drive tho for a budget build

why not just get a 500 gig

250 bad value if you only store windows on it imo

[polar python]

might go for 1tb tbh

[desert gulch]

yeah i think for a 1k budget a 500 or 1tb is the way to go

if you go for a 500 and need more space for games you seldom use you can always get a cheap mechanical hard drive

[polar python]

ah just realised i didnt add the hdd

[vagrant olive]

you can always do 500gb nvme + 2tb hdd for $100

[desert gulch]

yeah

[polar python]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jJ2TRT

fixed

[desert gulch]

uhh

[polar python]

sorry didnt mean to ping

[desert gulch]

some people hate barracudas

some ppl love them

[polar python]

why

[desert gulch]

failure rate

im not an expert on those

[polar python]

yikes

[desert gulch]

idk id ask an expert

cause theres mixed feelings on them

[next kestrel]

thats an expensive mobo

[desert gulch]

mini itx

[polar python]

^

anything under $200 seems bad

[desert gulch]

gotta pay for that form factor sometimes

[potent portal]

Seagate is fine if you like time bombs on your data

[desert gulch]

same thing with psu

[polar python]

im also gonna oc

[desert gulch]

lol

yay we found a barracuda hater

hi barracuda hater

[polar python]

i was thinking about getting a10700k

🤔

[muted patio]

They aren't the only one

[potent portal]

lol hi, go western digital

[muted patio]

WD or Toshiba

[polar python]

its was on sale for like $300 earlier today

[muted patio]

😉

[polar python]

10850K is $340

[muted patio]

on sale yeah

B&H

Or was

Might have expired

It was a short sale

[potent portal]

Intel trying to steal back some of the market and prepare for the next gen at the same time

[polar python]

yep

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Jd8j4D/western-digital-blue-2-tb-35-5400rpm-internal-hard-drive-wd20ezaz

good?

5400rpm instead of 7200rpm

hmm

[desert gulch]

5400rpm means slower

usually

[potent portal]

Good for storage but if you plan to run any games off it you can find higher RPM

[desert gulch]

yeah you want a 7200 for games ideally

[polar python]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XtjG3C/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd2003fzex

what about this

?

[potent portal]

Well "ideally" you'd get a SSD but 7200 is good too

If you can afford it WD black are good game drives

[polar python]

i've hear sdds aare better for games

alr

[desert gulch]

some are

if they have a dram cache

if no dram cache they can be slower than a mechanical hard drive

[potent portal]

Not having a dram cache isn't the deciding factor there

[desert gulch]

well no dram cache isnt great

[muted patio]

no DRAM means slow writes, not reads

[desert gulch]

ig

[muted patio]

SO if not writing all the time, you probably won't notice

[desert gulch]

is sn550 or p1 better?

[muted patio]

Start transferring pics from a phone or something and you'll notice though

[desert gulch]

in a 1tb capacity

[polar python]

if i dont oc the 10600k should i get a dark rock slim?

🤔

[potent portal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kq7v6h/toshiba-p300-2tb-35-7200rpm-internal-hard-drive-hdwd120uzsva
One option

[muted patio]

I have mine on an SSE224XT by ID Cooling

Keeps it chilly

[desert gulch]

they may not clearance for one of those

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jJ2TRT

heres their list

[muted patio]

Ah yeah, SFF

forgot

[desert gulch]

yup

i wouldve suggested air cooling if not for for factor

mini itx makes things tight

ish

[polar python]

aio is my only option for sff

?

[desert gulch]

well you may be able to get some air coolers in there

but not as many as can fit in a normal mid tower

[potent portal]

Why is Amazon's search so garbage

[desert gulch]

idk

[potent portal]

I try to search using the filters for 2TB 7200 rpm drives under $75

[desert gulch]

use pcpp

[potent portal]

I get 320 GB drives

[desert gulch]

prolly easier

[potent portal]

I get $260 drives

WTF Amazon

[desert gulch]

use pcpp

[potent portal]

Yeah but they don't index everything, or include all sales and coupons

[desert gulch]

hmm may narrow it down a bit tho

prolly easier than amazon

[gusty abyss]

nr200 isn't that small, is it

[desert gulch]

its mini itx

[potent portal]

18 liter

[desert gulch]

soo

[potent portal]

not super small but still small

[gusty abyss]

cooler clearance isn't much of an issue

pcpp lists lots of air coolers compatible

[ripe wedge]

according to windshields having no dram affects nothing

[muted patio]

Eh, it does something

It affects writes

Just not reads

[ripe wedge]

yeah

[potent portal]

Nothing tht an average user would notice at least

[ripe wedge]

you will prolly notice the snappiness of your pc is a bit less snappy

if its the boot

[potent portal]

But the dram won't affect reads

[muted patio]

You'll notice it if you try and copy a 60GB game to the NVME lol

[desert gulch]

lol

[ripe wedge]

lol instant throttle

[muted patio]

HBM helps

But can't compare to DRAM

[ripe wedge]

my mushkin 2tb is a champ. it took a 90gb game at 2gb the whole time

[desert gulch]

pog

[ripe wedge]

mainly because the other drive couldnt go faster with reading

[vagrant olive]

is the crucial p1 ok

thats what i got

[hollow grail]

eh

yeah a lot of cdns actually use dramless ssds/super low end drives in general

[vagrant olive]

i mean ive never used an ssd so im sure any of them will seem great to me

[hollow grail]

since writes are okay

but reads are same as high end drives

for sata

[polar python]

im sure some people in r/sffpc could help me out a abit more

i just want to make sure everything is compatible and i won't have any issues when building.

[muted patio]

It is all compatible, you're fine so far

[polar python]

great, am i missing anything?

fans?

[muted patio]

Let me see what it will handle

if you have the room, this is a great cooler as well https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-L9x65-Premium-Low-Profile-Cooler/dp/B00VB3Y89E/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=SFF+PC+Case&qid=1614144863&s=pc&sr=1-3

[polar python]

brown 🤢

[muted patio]

you can't see in the case anyway 😉

[viral ore]

noctua brown ❤️

[muted patio]

For fans, I'd recommend these https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-ACFAN00137A-Value-Pack-Pressure-Optimized/dp/B07HC782D5

Case comes with 1 120mm but toss that and install 4 of these

2 in the bottom intake, 2 in the top exhaust

Hmmm

2 in the side intake, 2 in the top exhaust

1 in the bottom intake for the GPU

unless you're going glass side panel;

?

[polar python]

should i?

there isnt really a difference is there?

[muted patio]

Only if you want to look at thigns. With no RGB, I'd leave it mesh for airflow

[polar python]

mesh it is

no rgb > rgb 😎

[muted patio]

nice, I agree

Also, checking on coolers

Stand by

[jagged ember]

Arctic freezer 34 sound pretty good

150w tdp rating

[muted patio]

No towers

SFF case

[jagged ember]

I see

[muted patio]

155mm clearance less 25mm or more for fans

[jagged ember]

im probably gonna go get one myself

[potent portal]

RGB is gimmicky for a lot of people, no real benefit for most.
I like Mystic Light though, it lets me see at a glance what my CPU temp is based on RGB color.

[muted patio]

I have an ID cooling SSE224XT on a 10600K and it's amazing

[jagged ember]

My stock cooler can't keep my cpu under like 88 degrees

Aw I can't get that

Not available here

Lol I kinda grew out of the cpu temp rgb light

[muted patio]

I know that Noctua is ugly but it's hard to beat TBH

[jagged ember]

Honestly

How often are you really looking in your case

[muted patio]

I've looked at some other low pro coolers and they aren't much better than a stock intel cooler

[potent portal]

My case is directly visible from my normal sitting position

[muted patio]

Hmmm, let me check scythe

yes but yours doesn't have a metal side panel i'd bet

[polar python]

arctic freeze ii 280mm aio w/ NR200

[potent portal]

True it's the meshify C, glass panel

[jagged ember]

Dang

[muted patio]

that is TIGHT

wow

[jagged ember]

Tiight

[gusty abyss]

dat side mount

[polar python]

https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/icentb/the_arctic_freezer_ii_280_fits_in_the_cm_nr200/

[jagged ember]

Literally woulf not get anything bigger lmao

I wanna do an itx build tbh

Just having a tiny boi sitting on your desk

[muted patio]

This is an acceptable alternative in black/gray https://www.amazon.com/Scythe-Shuriken-Profile-120mm-Cooler/dp/B07MDXVLCZ

[jagged ember]

While you're playing Doom eternal in 4k

Ultra nightmare settings sounds pretty cool

[polar python]

lol

[muted patio]

10600K can make some heat

[polar python]

arctic freeze 34?

[polar python]

so i've heard.

[jagged ember]

Nice 5 heatpipes

[polar python]

i've heard intel in general gets pretty hot.

[muted patio]

I thought the 34 was a tower cooler?

[jagged ember]

Arctic freezer 34 might not fit?

[little osprey]

my 10600k works very cool enough

[jagged ember]

It's this right?

[muted patio]

yeah that won't fit with fans in the side panel

[jagged ember]

Mm

[little osprey]

had aio on it but RMAd it and using gammax400 for awhile

[jagged ember]

Well as a side note im getting that lol

I've had enough of stinky stock cooler

[muted patio]

Whatever that is, it's not an Arctic Freezer 34 that I can find

yeah, I'd do the Noctua or the Scythe TBH

[polar python]

hmm okay

i heard the fuma 2 was great for the 10600k especially.

[muted patio]

Fuma 2 is a big cooler lol

Tower cooler

It's 155 tall, won't clear the side panel even without fans

[jagged ember]

choose noctua to flex on people

[polar python]

yikes

think im gonna go for the shuriken

[little osprey]

Or use it to suck in peoples stuff

My noctua fans at max speed are good at sucking in money

[honest ferry]

guys

is the rtx 3080 restocked in newegg

[thorn willow]

people here talkin bout 3080 and im still stuck at integrated UHD 620 smfh 🤔

[blazing aurora]

uhd 630 over here

[hot quail]

Is a gtx 1050 ti any good?

It's the only graphics card I could find that was within my budget but idk if I should just save up for a 3090

[stone haven]

dont get a 1050ti

are you going to be doing VR?

@hot quail

[hot quail]

Yea that's the plan

[stone haven]

get atleast a 1660 or better yet an RTX card.

my 1050ti doesnt work for oculus link

with my quest 2

it sucks

[hot quail]

Is an aio cooler overkill for an i5 10400F?

[muted patio]

Little bit, yeah

[hot quail]

This is my first build and I'm not sure about the stuff yet

[stone haven]

yes but they look cool so why not

[muted patio]

Just get an ID Cooling SSE 224 XT

[hot quail]

I do plan on getting an i7 soon but I'm not old enough for a job yet so my budget is around 1200

[cursive wharf]

i7 is rarely worth it. 10850k goes on sale sometimes and that's only when it's worth it. Otherwise AMD usually

[stone haven]

ok but if youre getting a 3090 you have to get a good CPU, otherwise you will have a severe bottleneck

also 3090 isnt worth it in my opinion, i would just get a 3080

[hot quail]

Any idea on where I can find one? Since most of them are very overpriced

[stone haven]

3080 is the hardest to get, next is the 3060 ti, then the 3070 and the easiest to get is the 3090.

newegg

[hot quail]

Is $425 good for a 3060ti founders edition?

[stone haven]

also follow GYXDeals on twitter and turn on notifications, they give notifications on deals and when stuff goes on sale

yes

[hot quail]

Thanks for the help guys

[stone haven]

yea

where are you getting your 3060 ti

[hot quail]

It's on eBay tho so I might just wait

[stone haven]

a buy now on ebay for 425???

or a bid?

i suggest you dont buy from ebay

unless they are trusted

[hot quail]

It's a buy now

The reviews are mixed so I'm not sure

[muted patio]

Seems sketch

[hot quail]

It's gonna take some time for all the parts to arrive so hopefully the 3060 ti is back in stock by then

I'm probably gonna buy from Newegg

[cursive wharf]

With a $1200 budget you can get a FE3070

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DGXZDc

10600k from a good seller on Aliexress

[stone haven]

good luck tho

[muted patio]

Newegg has/had some good 10600K bundles

[stone haven]

scalpers love to price the Founders at like double the price of what Nvidia asks for

[stoic island]

what

there's a reason why we say FE

BB drops at MSRP

[cursive wharf]

bb drop

[stoic island]

this ain't like suprim

[cursive wharf]

rather, isnt like MSI

in general

[stoic island]

:P

ventus 3x can be decent priced

Suprim is just annoyingly crappily priced

[cursive wharf]

seems like it's almost as much as TUF tho

[hot quail]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ThePapaJohn53/saved/qM8bLk

thats what i had in mind

might switch the cpu

[cursive wharf]

private

[hot quail]

Oh

[stone haven]

private

[hot quail]

Let me fix that😅

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nFdfj2

is that better?

[cursive wharf]

this easily beats that for the price
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DGXZDc

[stoic island]

very interesting part choices

[muted patio]

Iindeed

[stoic island]

h510 with ll120s...

why

[small osprey]

ok uh, ram cant run full speed without z board, cooler weird, nxzt case bad, overpriced fans

[stoic island]

@small osprey b560 op

can run full speed

[muted patio]

YES

B560 is the way

[small osprey]

yea

but that list had a b460

[hot quail]

i see, im still kinda new to this and was relying on my friends for some parts

[stoic island]

@muted patio god damn it pcpp still no listing

[muted patio]

I know

[stoic island]

Yes, but it should get a b560

[cursive wharf]

1200 budget has room for 10600k/z490 tho

[small osprey]

damn 3070 in a 1.2k build

nice

[stoic island]

fun

[small osprey]

pretty pog

[hot quail]

yea im gonna go with that one, thanks for the help

[stoic island]

haven't been messing around with lists recently

@cursive wharf I'd slap in a gammaxx 400 instead of se-224-xt for now, out of stock

[cursive wharf]

I mean I was going by Aliexpress 10600k anyways, so will have to wait a bit anyways

[stoic island]

and personally I'd go segotep sg-g, saves 10$ for same quality
https://www.amazon.com/Segotep-Gaming-Supply-Certified-Non-Modular/dp/B08D3Q2YZ7/

oh alright

[small osprey]

for i9 what z490 board has good vrms

[stoic island]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yPS3hj_K7EPT4RBWCyjdKNP56pnwDz-IgBc0975-FUg/edit#gid=0

[cursive wharf]

cheapest I think is proA

wait no

Asus primeA

proA is MSI

which is cheapest non-trash z490, not good for i9

[small osprey]

prime a is good?

[stoic island]

Aorus elite is quite good if you could get a good price

[small osprey]

currently prime a cheaper than aorus elite

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stoic island]

lmao I love the asrock ratings on this

this is every asrock z490 board

[small osprey]

stupid fans

[cursive wharf]

primeA and Tomahawk are lowest I'd go. Tho, Asus has some nice OC features so yee. Probs would go Asus for the OC

[stoic island]

Yes

[muted patio]

OH good, if the wife needs an upgrade in the future her Z490 Prime can handle it

[cursive wharf]

Do note there is a primeP which is worse then primeA. primeP isnt terrible but dont think is i9 worthy

[muted patio]

Ye, this was a prime Z490A with a 10600k bundle from Wegg

[uncut pelican]

I'm building the mini itx today

I haven't even seen the case too

Still out for delivery

Oh no

The psu that came with it doesnt come with the cord

[rich helm]

What specs?

[uncut pelican]

Uhhh

I5 10600k

970 evo 1tb

No gpu

[rich helm]

What cooler

[uncut pelican]

Corsair lpx 16gb 3200mhz ram

[small osprey]

no gpu?

[uncut pelican]

Noctua nh9

[uncut pelican]

Nope

Its a work pc

[small osprey]

sadge

should add a mini 1660s or smth

[uncut pelican]

And it needed to fit in a backpack

[uncut pelican]

But its a work computer...

[rich helm]

Oh I’m doing a mini itx build too with very similar components lol

[uncut pelican]

Nice nice

[rich helm]

Except the cooler but I need to return the l9i I bought

[uncut pelican]

Which case

[rich helm]

nr200

[uncut pelican]

Y

[rich helm]

Not beefy enough lol

[uncut pelican]

I was gonna go with that one but it was too big and rating were eh

So i went with velka

3

[rich helm]

Probably going to return it and get the chunky version

[rich helm]

Those cost like 200 right?

[uncut pelican]

250 with psu

[rich helm]

Ok not horrible but out of my budget lol

[uncut pelican]

Budget was 1500

[uncut pelican]

Whats your budget

[rich helm]

Mine is 750 about

[uncut pelican]

Ah

My client is going from a surface pro

To this

[rich helm]

My client is going from a 2015 mac mini to this lol

[uncut pelican]

Nice nice

I will send pics when don

*done

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-ac-power-iec-cable-black/6406734.p?skuId=6406734

I found one

Yay

I needa go pick this up

[rich helm]

I’m going to try the thin l9i with a power limit but if it runs too hot I will return them

[uncut pelican]

You doing a gpu?

[rich helm]

No

Work computers lol

[uncut pelican]

It shouldnt run too hot

[rich helm]

Noctua website recommends power limit for 10600k so I’ll try that

I’m building 6 of them

[uncut pelican]

Oh wow

I wouldnt have patience for that

[muted patio]

OHhh, the L9i probs won't cool it well

I've seen reviews, basically stock Intel temps

Couple degrees better

[rich helm]

Oh ok

The larger heat sink one should handle it though right?

[muted patio]

THe 65mm one?

yes

Or the Scythe 3

[rich helm]

Ok

Thanks

[little osprey]

Whats a good mobile processor to pair with a 3070?

I could always egpu

[small osprey]

mobile?

[little osprey]

Laptop

[small osprey]

yea ik

but idk much about laptop chips

[little osprey]

a Laptop with thunderbolt, just trying to figure like, if a laptop with a 3700 would be good to pair or what

[small osprey]

a 3700x would probably be fine

[cursive wharf]

mobile 3000 ryzen series is bad

mobile 4000 series or better

[muted patio]

4000 or bust

[little osprey]

are there no ryzen laptops with thunderbolt?

[obtuse laurel]

What sites can I look on for what parts do with one another

Like graphics card and cpu

What is your guys opinion on amd stock coolers

[small osprey]

they're not that great

if you want a cheap upgrade, get the gammaxx 400 or the id-cooling se-224-xt

[obtuse laurel]

Ok

[little osprey]

nice

[fossil halo]

Wow

Imagine saying that amd stock coolers aren't that great

[small osprey]

the freezer FITS in the nr200?!

[little osprey]

meh

[muted patio]

They aren't

[little osprey]

theres a reason why only the 5600x ships with stock cooler for zen 3

[fossil halo]

that is true but i mean

the wraith prism is pretty good

spire is meh

[little osprey]

depends

[muted patio]

Eh, it's OK

Still doesn't keep it cool enough for good boost temps

[little osprey]

lol

me with 4.199 boost on my 2600x with a 240mm rad

😐

[fossil halo]

but

on other terms

rip frys electronics

https://www.frys.com/

[muted patio]

Me with a 4.3ghz all core on my 3700x with a 360mm AIO lol

[fossil halo]

wait i run at 4.3 ghz on my 3700x

or well

if there is that muich load then i do

[little osprey]

okay

i want to run static oc cus rn i only have llc and negative fofset voltage on rn

[fossil halo]

holy cow is it just me or is discord the laggiest thing in the world today

[little osprey]

but i wanna get it to at least 4.2ghz all core

[muted patio]

Discord borked

[little osprey]

thats just newegg discord

[fossil halo]

tru

[uncut pelican]

Nah seems fine for me

Ok nvm yeah its lagging

[little osprey]

test

[fossil halo]

like message takes a bit to send

[uncut pelican]

Yeah

[little osprey]

afaik its only this server

[uncut pelican]

Thats the only issue I see

[small osprey]

its just this server for some reason

[little osprey]

this look awful?

[small osprey]

that processor tho

[wanton cliff]

wut

[small osprey]

the amd stock coolers?

they not very good

[wanton cliff]

yeah

they are

lol

an aftermarket cooler will beat one, of course, but you dont have to pay for one

amd stock is fine

[fossil halo]

ayo guys

if you want to feel sad

[wanton cliff]

its what I use

[fossil halo]

go to frys.com

makes me feel very sad

[wanton cliff]

[fossil halo]

😭

[wanton cliff]

did you get a 3060

[fossil halo]

tomorrow

[muted patio]

This has been a long time coming

[fossil halo]

true

they were just holding it off for more than a year now

[severe axle]

frys was just sad the last time I went

[fossil halo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq2rUsUTL_0

[fossil halo]

deadass

[severe axle]

like 1/5 the stuff was on the shelves

[fossil halo]

i used to go so many times

[severe axle]

I got a k70 there for $100

[tiny forge]

My god this is going to be a good lunch

[fossil halo]

this is so sad

[wanton cliff]

where does spotify download songs

wheres the directory

[fossil halo]

idk

jeez this lag is driving me crazy

mega zoomer moment

[wanton cliff]

you too?

[small osprey]

this server has a problem

[autumn wolf]

everyone in this server, sara

[wanton cliff]

thought it was just me

[small osprey]

everything else is fine for some reason

all the other servers and dms

only this server be laggin

[fossil halo]

yea

i love the pny 3060

its soo good

@wanton cliff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkK_6xkp8os

what does this mean

[wanton cliff]

i saw

[fossil halo]

it literally means i saw?

[wanton cliff]

means "I am in Korea" or something along those lines

her lithuanian is (predictably) really bad

[fossil halo]

lmao

[wanton cliff]

her accent is alright though

[fossil halo]

makes sense

[wanton cliff]

ive heard much worse

[fossil halo]

lmfao

[little osprey]

What about an i9-10940 16 cores

[stoic island]

Excuse me for what

[little osprey]

Is that a gaming cou or more of a workstation cpu

Cpu

[stoic island]

10940x is hedt

It's lga2066

[muted patio]

Yeah, workstation stuff

[little osprey]

Hedt?

[stoic island]

High end desk top, basically workstation

[little osprey]

Was gonna say I noticed the mobo socket was different. So not good for gaming then?

I noticed amd has high cores and thread count but low clocks. What gives?

Gaming you want high clocks vs high thread and cores?

[fossil halo]

essentially

i think

gosh the lag is getting worse

[stoic island]

Not just socket being different, stuffing that many cores in leads to other things that diminish gaming performance

[little osprey]

Been considering waiting for the next gen intel i9 will the socket be different?

[stoic island]

It's a different "architecture" with more latency that allows for stuffing of cores

Discord lag

[fossil halo]

for gaming if you've got 10940x money jsut go for 5950x

[muted patio]

11th gen will be 1200

[fossil halo]

yea discord lag is insane ima time it with this message

that was a solid 4 seconds and that was one of the better ones

[thorn willow]

rip

[stoic island]

Discord please stop

[fossil halo]

yea fr

[wanton cliff]

this is insane tbh

two seconds

[stoic island]

mine took like 2 minutes

[fossil halo]

yea back with the 10940 dude it was insane

[wanton cliff]

my oh my

3 seconds

average

[stoic island]

1

2

[wanton cliff]

its getting better now

[blazing aurora]

i thought it was just me

luckily mine is only about 2 seconds

[fossil halo]

yea same

better now

https://www.pny.com/geforce-rtx-3060-12gb-xlr8-gaming-revel-epic-x-rgb-df

best buy needs to sell this

[stoic island]

looks like a radeon card lmao

[little osprey]

lmao looks like a brick

[severe axle]

an rgb brick

[fossil halo]

good one tho

[obtuse laurel]

Where can I find a 3060 to

Sry ti

[little osprey]

Its not even released yet

[wanton cliff]

he is talking about 3060Ti

lag is gone

[obtuse laurel]

Yes

[wanton cliff]

finally

[wanton cliff]

they are sold out everywhere

[muted patio]

Not released until tomorrow

[obtuse laurel]

I know

[little osprey]

I told em to purge

[wanton cliff]

he is talking about Ti

[little osprey]

seems to fix the speed.

Gotta wait.

Be patient and watch stock.

[obtuse laurel]

Ok

[fossil halo]

lag is gone?

ayyyyyyyyy

yea 3060ti is kinda hard

[wanton cliff]

finally

[fossil halo]

just

look around

[wanton cliff]

also, bigga

gl tomorrow

[fossil halo]

yea

lmao thanks

ima need it

but no one seems to stock the pny one 😭

[wanton cliff]

sėkmės

[wanton cliff]

amazon does

[fossil halo]

i called office depot and the employee referred me to central computers lmao

[fossil halo]

not the rgb one

the other ones kinda dog

[fossil halo]

this one

[fossil halo]

yea ik that

those are jut the official suppliers

doesnt mean they stock all the products

well

b&h cdw and adorama all stock it

but its actually mad expensive

which makes me think that they mark their stuff up

unnecessarily

[wanton cliff]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3060-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2070/4105vs4029

this is userbenchmark but still

[worn wave]

Never use userbenchmark

ew

[wanton cliff]

a 3060 was gotten early

[muted patio]

with pre release drivers also

Keep that in mind

[wanton cliff]

also true

i mentioned that yesterday

[muted patio]

I wouldn't trust that as far as I could throw it

[wanton cliff]

damn lag is back

[worn wave]

passmark GPUbenchmark is not the best but better than userbenchmark

[fossil halo]

rip

yea its back

i just want playable frames on fortnite and like battlefront

since i got it free

[muted patio]

I wouldn't trust a single 3060 benchmark from the internet at this point lol

[wanton cliff]

maybe an early reviewer bench, since they get the right drivers

should one exist

[muted patio]

@little osprey ask here

[little osprey]

Lol, 3090 worse than 2060 IIRC on userbenchmark

Hey, I have a question about a peice and compatibility in my laptop

[muted patio]

Go ahead

[little osprey]

https://www.newegg.ca/p/0ZK-08UH-0GAK7?Description=Hard Drive Bracket Caddy Tray + Connector Cable DC02002SU00&cm_re=Hard_Drive Bracket Caddy Tray + Connector Cable DC02002SU00-_-9SIAN8UCA04686-_-Product

would this peice fit for a aspire 317-51g anyway? cause i cant find anything..

[muted patio]

Do you need another bracket or ?

[little osprey]

yes i need the braquet

[worn wave]

You don't really need that caddy if you are putting a SSD in

You could just use double sided foam tape

[muted patio]

Are you wanting to add another drive?

[little osprey]

ya i saw that tip on a forum or something this morning

[muted patio]

Have you checked the laptop to see if there's a drive already in there?

Drive cage

If not, what you need is this, just the tray https://www.newegg.com/p/1B4-00E1-00NF5

[little osprey]

yup i already have an m.2 with window on it and im not really good with that as you can see lol so i want to add storage.

[muted patio]

have you physically checked the laptop though to see if the drive cages are already there?

[little osprey]

yes and no theres nothing but the hole for the tray

[muted patio]

Got it

Yeah, just the tray I posted then

[wicked frigate]

Hey guys did the Newegg shuffle end

[muted patio]

The SATA connections should be already in the laptop

[little osprey]

that i need plus the cables im not sure what kind i need

[muted patio]

Cables?

[worn wave]

You should not have to use cables?

It's a laptop

[muted patio]

Let me check a tear down, the connections are usually already there

[wicked frigate]

Did the shuffle end

[worn wave]

Check the website

it will say

[wicked frigate]

It says ended but I though it start rn

[little osprey]

i can come back in maybe 10 20 min to take a picture of the laptop and post it here

[muted patio]

Ah, there is a cable needed

BRB, I'll find you one

[little osprey]

i have to shut down this pc

[little osprey]

i knew i wasnt crazy ahaha joking here a lil bit

[muted patio]

That's a new one for me, rather unusual

SO the cage plus this https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-A315-41-Connector-50-GY9N2-003/dp/B07D4M7ZCK

[little osprey]

this cable should go in the hdd plug near the disc drive?

[muted patio]

Yes, that connects the HDD to the motherboard

Like in this video\

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4G20nx2OOQ

Let me check the 317 though

Ok, that wsan't the right cable, stand by

[little osprey]

i dont think its the same thing

[muted patio]

It's not

317 slightly different

[muted patio]

This is confirmed the right part number https://www.newegg.com/p/1B4-00E1-00NF2

And confirmed the proper tray https://www.newegg.com/p/1B4-00E1-00NF5

[little osprey]

Been considering waiting for the next gen intel i9 will the socket be different?

[muted patio]

11th gen? no, LGA 1200

[fossil halo]

well

kidna

i think it wont work for b460s and h410s

it will only work for some z490s

[little osprey]

wasn't it first iirc

LGA 1155, for sandy bridge

then LGA 1151?

[muted patio]

Z490/B560/Z590 only tho for 11th gen

[little osprey]

Too many 1150 sockets lmao, i can never remember

[fossil halo]

yea

no h510 i think

[muted patio]

H shouldn't even be considered for a PC build

[fossil halo]

lmao imagine an h510

what even is the purpose of h410 motherboard

[muted patio]

OEM cheap

[fossil halo]

i just know it exists

ah i see

[little osprey]

Thank you so much ive been searching since this morning

[fossil halo]

even cheaper than b460?

[muted patio]

YW

[fossil halo]

b460 kinda like the a520 for intel

[muted patio]

Yes

B460 = B450

H series = A series AMD board

[fossil halo]

i...just...want...g p u

why pny gotta do me like that

make the beautiful ass card

and not sell it anywhere relevant

[little osprey]

And i thought 2020 was a popular year for building pc's

[main whale]

Same.

[little osprey]

"Everyone and their god damn grandma's need a RTX 3080"-Dread
"I guess its to play 8K Solitaire"-The Real Jake

Lol, just happy i built 2020 Q4 tbh, the silicon shortage seems pretty bad

[frank stirrup]

on a 1080p monitor too XD

[little osprey]

I mean, I use it to do blender

[vagrant olive]

LESS GOO

[little osprey]

Its not like im just using chrome smh

[vagrant olive]

walmart came clutch

[frank stirrup]

legit know a guy who runs games at 4 k 20 fps on a 1080p monitor

[fossil halo]

cries in gt 710

[little osprey]

Whats wrong with a 3070 for blender on 1080p?

[frank stirrup]

Nah im saying people need 3080s and 3090s to play games at 8k on 1080p monitors

Nothing wrong with 1080p

I use a 1080p panel too

[little osprey]

People ask why I use it for 1080p, i reply blender and they shut up

Now if i was using it on 480p for gaming, thats another story

[static ravine]

l

[prime plover]

Hey so I bought an RX 550 for the few months that it will probably be before I get a 3070. It seemed like the best card at about the 150 dollar price range.

Could someone knowledgeable tell me how good it will be?

[fossil halo]

well

um

[muted patio]

Everything 1080p low, maybe 60 FPS

Most likely lower

[fossil halo]

not very good to say the least

[frank stirrup]

Why u asking after buying tho?

[fossil halo]

yea not 60fps on low maybe on 720p low

and for 150$ that is a FAT scam

[muted patio]

It did BF1 on low back in 2017 lol

[fossil halo]

that thing is not worth more than 80$

[prime plover]

yep it's a temporary card.

[frank stirrup]

Yeah the 570 is worth that much max

[prime plover]

i ordered amd cpu so I needed something to display and function somewhat decently

[fossil halo]

gt 710 is the king of temporary cards

lag is gone again?

ayyyy

[stoic island]

don't need amd gpu for amd cpu

[prime plover]

Yeah I just need a gpu. For my price range it was either 1030 or rx 550 and rx 550 seemed to outperform the 1030 so that's what we went with.

[wanton cliff]

@muted patio I changed c-states and PCIe slots and ran a Minecraft RTX benchmark. In the time I usually would have had devices disconnect 10 times, they disconnected 0 times. Also, it 100% did load in my Index lenses lol.

[muted patio]

nice!!

I figured as much lol

[little osprey]

hey its me again.. I tried to order the peices but im living in canada and i dont find anywhere in canada. Newegg doesnt allow me to purshace on the us site ?

[muted patio]

50.HEKN2.001 and 33.HEKN2.002 are the part numbers you're looking for. Someone in canada should have them. 🙂

[little osprey]

nope its really weird i cant find anything in canada but weird website..

[uncut pelican]

Look what we got

[fossil halo]

oh shooooooooooooot

[crimson totem]

My 3070 low key kinda died 😔

[wanton cliff]

Which model and what do you want us to do about it

[uncut pelican]

Its so smol

[fossil halo]

deadass

[little osprey]

lol oof

But yeah like sara said

take it up with RMA

Newegg server can't do nothin about it

[crimson totem]

i did take it to RMA

[crimson totem]

yeah deadass

[uncut pelican]

[little osprey]

Which card is better

Left one crashes pcs

Lol

[fossil halo]

first one is better

obv

[little osprey]

Thought so

Both are fine condition

Still alive

[crimson totem]

first one

[wanton cliff]

A fine addition to my collection

[brave cedar]

I'm so confused... Why do so many people here hate nzxt

[little osprey]

Its only for looks

The inside is literally a toaster.

and what other brand has made cases which literally catch on fire?

It literally redefines NZXT's HOT Cases

HAHA the pun

[brave cedar]

Lol

[small osprey]

bc they suck

[brave cedar]

Damn

[small osprey]

duh

[brave cedar]

I guess I gotta change my case

[little osprey]

What

Excuse me?

[brave cedar]

I have noticed any overheating though

[little osprey]

Case and temps?

SPECS

cause of course if you put a 1050ti in a case it might be fine.

But running a big gpu that puts out lots of heat.

[brave cedar]

H510 with a 2070

[severe axle]

I remember someone having to go from 3090 to 3080 because of the temps

[little osprey]

[little osprey]

Lmfao

imagine having no ventilation what so ever and as little as you can put in a case.

No front intake

1 rear exhaust

lol

[small osprey]

is there any mesh at all

[little osprey]

and the 1 tiny roof

[small osprey]

besides the exhaust

[little osprey]

this pathetic thing

The mesh is tiny

[brave cedar]

Ye they aren't great but they look cool

[severe axle]

also, I saw someone on reddit complaining that a msi 3090 was running too hot in h510

then they switched to FE and it was fine

[small osprey]

reeeeeee lets use two 120mm exhausts and thats it

[severe axle]

my guess is they left side panel off when swapping gpu

[little osprey]

REEEE

[brave cedar]

As long as they look cool I don't care if it spits out flames

[little osprey]

can't even use 140mm

[wanton cliff]

That’s the worst reason to buy a case

[brave cedar]

Lmfao

[little osprey]

Eww

Do you want the H1?

[severe axle]

no they look hot

[small osprey]

why not do both at once with the p500a

[little osprey]

Thats a fire hazard.

[small osprey]

the puns tho

[little osprey]

You may not care if it spits out fire

but what happens when it literally catches on fire

[brave cedar]

I'll just make a new case out of chicken wire

[little osprey]

and burns your components

Troll..

Lol

[severe axle]

yes open air

[small osprey]

h510+gigabyte explosion psu

[obtuse laurel]

Case recommendations

[small osprey]

but i guess thats better bc theres no oxygen inside the case for the psu to catch on fire xD

[little osprey]

Im glad I had some sense unlike y'all who like NZXT

nice open grill

TOP MESH

covers the whole roof

[muted patio]

You really need to chill with the insults

It's getting old

[small osprey]

p400a, p500a, 4000d airlfow, td500 mesh, meshify c

[muted patio]

yes, case bad, no need to demean people over it

[little osprey]

k.

[obtuse laurel]

@small osprey thanks

[brave cedar]

Nzxt cases are fire

[little osprey]

Basically why we don't like em.

Dangerous.

Hot

and temps outrageous

Maybe if you were building a lower or mid end system

but a 3090 in that thing could cook waffles.

[brave cedar]

I could buy 1000 pre made waffles and still not spend as much money as the current price of a 3090 right now lol

[little osprey]

waffles are cheap though

[brave cedar]

But true

Ok then like

Chocolate chip waffles

Who actually puts chocolate chips in their waffles

It ruins them

[little osprey]

Chocolate chip waffles are good.
