[brave cedar]

Nahhh

Blueberry waffles are better

[muted patio]

https://tenor.com/view/bacon-pancakes-jake-adventure-time-cook-bake-gif-3572357

[little osprey]

actually wait

Pancakes>waffles

Vintage is right

[brave cedar]

No

Absolutely not

Because waffles have holes for syrup

[little osprey]

yes. lol

[brave cedar]

And they're crunchier

So they don't get soggy as fast

[little osprey]

Actually its because of how they are made

[brave cedar]

Nyea nyea

Details

[severe axle]

waffles for desert, pancakes for breakfast, wrong chat

[little osprey]

Not because for syrup.

[little osprey]

I don't know how a NZXT case convo went to that.

[brave cedar]

Lol

[severe axle]

what is this though

[little osprey]

They look all in

[waxen storm]

someone from general asked me to post in here

[muted patio]

Give it a flick, does it try to move?

If not, remove back panel and trace wires, looks like it goes behind the board?

[waxen storm]

yeah sec

goes here

[little osprey]

Is that where all your fans go?

[waxen storm]

i think so

[little osprey]

I see some headers on the board too.

that are populated.

[muted patio]

That fan hub may not be powered

Should be connected to SATA power

somewhere

[waxen storm]

hmm

[muted patio]

I don't see any power in on those connectors

[waxen storm]

also cant get my pc to recognize any microphone but thats a separate issue

[muted patio]

Pic of the whole board?

[waxen storm]

the one on the back?

[muted patio]

The one in your last pic, yes

So I can see the whole board

[waxen storm]

thats a bad pic

[muted patio]

Just the control board where the fan is please

[waxen storm]

thats it in the center

[little osprey]

I have an actual question.

How do people manage to wire stuff like that?

It seems like that right cable is stretching

wouldn't it pop out?

[muted patio]

SO, there should be a fan controller in there somewhere

The wires on the bottom are power and LED control

where do those go?

[waxen storm]

im not sure

this is the literally the first computer ive owned

[muted patio]

It's OK, just follow the two wires from the bottom of that board

it might actually be on the front panel of the PC or a little wireless remote that came with it?

[waxen storm]

Kk hold on just opening it ip

Didn't get a remote with it

[muted patio]

Picture of the top on the front

Where the buttons are

[muted patio]

Little button on the far right, the round one

I think that's for the RGB control

[waxen storm]

Okay I wasnt sure

[muted patio]

Top left is Power and Reset

the fan should still come on I think though, seems like power is unplugged somewhere or fan might be dead

[waxen storm]

Sorry for the spam but maybe you guys can see something I can't

[muted patio]

I dont see anything there. I do see wires going to the front panel. Try the little button.

[little osprey]

headers look in.

Don't see any loose wires.

[waxen storm]

I'll see what it does when windows updates lol

It restarts my pc @muted patio

[muted patio]

One of those buttons on the front should control the fans and are GB.

[uncut pelican]

Can one of you send me the download link for windows 10 pro

off of windows site

[little osprey]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

you just use windows 10 iso

it doesn't have a "Pro" media creation tool

[uncut pelican]

it doesn't o.o

[little osprey]

use normal one

[uncut pelican]

I am so dumb

[little osprey]

I use the normal one to install pro lol

[uncut pelican]

You can do that?

[small osprey]

im pretty sure you can select win10/10 pro after you install it on the pc

[little osprey]

cause in creation tool it says

^

[uncut pelican]

oh awesome

[little osprey]

Oof

[small osprey]

you just select which one, depending on what key you have

[little osprey]

^

its like, "Don't have an activation key?

[uncut pelican]

I need to buy the key rn

[little osprey]

Bottom right corner

you can activate it.

[waxen storm]

the one adjacent to the power button seems to do nothing

[uncut pelican]

wait so

if i already had windows 10 on my flash driv i can just use a pro key?

[small osprey]

yea

[little osprey]

Yes.

Or you can use no key at all

[uncut pelican]

[little osprey]

and you get the pro key

[uncut pelican]

i am so friggin confused

[uncut pelican]

it says cd

[little osprey]

and i got a digital key

lol

[uncut pelican]

but it says cd

and i get the key?

[little osprey]

IDK why thats in the listing

You get no CD

lmao

[wanton cliff]

CD key is the key that comes with the CD

the name has been kept for a decade too long

[small osprey]

[little osprey]

[little osprey]

Reported to facebook

Reported to discord

[small osprey]

tbh, it’s probably not very accurate bc i dont know enough yet

[little osprey]

BEAN

[small osprey]

wow

[wanton cliff]

closest I could decifer was "learn the tower of god" or something like that

[small osprey]

you actually blocked lmao

[austere vale]

i also got a key online for w10 pro. cost me a few bucks, emailed within 10 mins. activated straight away.

[little osprey]

and now your unblocked.

[uncut pelican]

lol my mom says that i shouldnt buy the key from there ima do it anyway

[small osprey]

supposed to be “learning god bridge”

[wanton cliff]

@little osprey

[little osprey]

My windows key was 4 bucks lol

[small osprey]

and then grammar messed up

[little osprey]

STOP PINGING ME

ISTG

[gusty abyss]

I got my last windows key from g2a lmao

[wanton cliff]

heh

fine

[small osprey]

and then everything messed up

[little osprey]

I swear to god if I get ghost pings

I still don't know how those even work

[wanton cliff]

I just unzipped Cyberpunk finally. when should I play it?

[austere vale]

@wanton cliff I did and I am!

[uncut pelican]

Can you also send me the pro key from microsoft i cant find it

[stoic island]

ghost pings only exist when you delete the message :P

[wanton cliff]

huh?

[little osprey]

Send me a cyberpunk zip

[austere vale]

nvm, i thought you said "should I play it" not, when

[wanton cliff]

do you have a CDN that supports 107 gig transfers? No? didnt think so

[little osprey]

wait is cyberpunk multiplayer?

[small osprey]

email

xD

[wanton cliff]

no

[little osprey]

DAMN IT

AND STOP BEANING ME

Whats up with the god damn bean

[small osprey]

bean

[little osprey]

Dallas uses it

Sara uses it

NOW SSENTI AND LILI

[small osprey]

[uncut pelican]

if i buy the key from windows it says it takes 2-3 days to ship

wtf

[little osprey]

and why this

[wanton cliff]

lili was the first

[small osprey]

yea

[wanton cliff]

and she owns that domain

[little osprey]

100 bucks for a pro key?

[small osprey]

sara.lgbt

[little osprey]

wait 200 i think

[small osprey]

i think

[little osprey]

oof

[wanton cliff]

she is using the bean and the domain that is rightfully mine to mock me

[uncut pelican]

its 200

[little osprey]

Lol

[wanton cliff]

a pro key from MS is only like $120

[small osprey]

yea lmao

its sara.lgbt

[uncut pelican]

but i dont understand why it says it takes days to ship if its a digital key

[little osprey]

Imma be honest

after I moved.

Everyone at might school seemed to turn emo

My*

Idk lol

everyone and I mean everyone dyed their hair black lmao

[wanton cliff]

she was going to put some really weird [ILLICIT ADULT CONTENT] on there to mock me but its become a meme on this server so I was able to prevent that, thankfully

[austere vale]

It is probably a generic message. You have the option of getting the digital only, or have it mailed to you on a USB

[little osprey]

I thought she was going to install wannacry

thats what she told me when you were asleep

[wanton cliff]

[little osprey]

Run it as a wannacry and [REDACTED DOMAIN]

[austere vale]

just download the windows 10 creator tool, make a bootable usb stick of win 10 pro. get one of those $3 keys online, install, activate and you're done.

[wanton cliff]

[little osprey]

I sent him one lol

you get it instantly

but idk if he bought it

[small osprey]

simple

[austere vale]

You don't even technically need to activate windows to use it anymore either if you don't mind the lack of customising and have a message pop up and now then

[little osprey]

someone buy me dread.com please

[little osprey]

^

and you can disable it lol

[wanton cliff]

no, its gotta be .lgbt. But delete that message just in case lili sees it

[austere vale]

yep.

[small osprey]

LOL

[little osprey]

I want dread.com

[wanton cliff]

taken, probably

[small osprey]

what about saralgbt.lgbt

[little osprey]

OFC ITS A BITCOIN SITE

[small osprey]

big brain

[little osprey]

Wait no

Its a weed site

[small osprey]

ssentii.com isnt taken

[wanton cliff]

[little osprey]

[small osprey]

[gusty abyss]

@mint dock give me until my new monitor arrives then I will send an updated photor

[mint dock]

Oooooooooooooooooh, I can't wait

[storm sun]

I am looking to buy a PC for my wifes b-day but I am rather tech stupid... I need to keep it under $1000 . I have considered both prebuilt and buy individual components. Firstly I have never put a Pc together and as such should I risk trying? secondly this is the prebuilt one I was looking at ... Any comments, suggestions or thoughts to help are welcome https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-ali415/p/N82E16883102993?Item=N82E16883102993

[wanton cliff]

build it

not hard

[little osprey]

Avoid Prebuilts

And if you have to, atleast you can use NZXT BLD

[muted patio]

Or buildredux

[little osprey]

Heard of it

don't know how they are.

[storm sun]

some of the issue I have with building it myself. is I don't know what parts are compatible with other parts. I really am tech illiterate

[little osprey]

I think i have time

B450, B550, X570=AMD

Ryzen

B450 Has gen3 lanes for m.2 iirc

b550, has 1 gen4 m.2 and x570 has two gen 4 lanes. Correct me if I am wrong.

[worn wave]

There's this entire discord here to help you build a system

[muted patio]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tcnXNP

Just find a GPU is all

[worn wave]

All you have to do is build it, which is the easiest part

[muted patio]

I have a 1660 listed but finding one is the hard part

[little osprey]

How is Segotep?

never heard of it

[muted patio]

Good

[little osprey]

Okay

[worn wave]

People will do the hardest part for you

[little osprey]

so its a not a bomb.

[muted patio]

Believe it or not

[little osprey]

Thats a start.

lol

[muted patio]

You think I'd recommend something that was bad?

-_-

[little osprey]

No, just never heard of it lol

sounded like aresgame in my head

or P-GM lol

[worn wave]

Still not sure what Segotep OEMs or anything but they are pretty good

[muted patio]

OH WOW

let me change that

That motherboard price is CRAZY

it changed, stand by

[little osprey]

Why is that 210 lol

hehe

[storm sun]

I appreciate the help but i also don't want t be a burden to those willing to help because I will ask ALOT of dumb questions

[little osprey]

Mushkin good/alright

[worn wave]

That's why this discord exists

[austere vale]

You gotta start somewhere 🙂

[muted patio]

no such thing

[little osprey]

Silicon ram idk

Sounds good

[worn wave]

Don't feel bad for asking questions

[little osprey]

^

i5-10400F, quite popular lol

[muted patio]

I'm changing that list

B560 is out now

[worn wave]

There are so many people here willing to help, some may be a bit more critical than others but no matter what there will be nice people to help

[little osprey]

What is the difference between all the intels?

I know the main difference between the AMD boards

H710 iirc can't oc

CPU iirc.

[muted patio]

Boom, much better

Cheaper board that will run the full 3200 mhz also

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gn6jCz

[little osprey]

Wait, so why do some intel builds have 2933 ram?

[muted patio]

B460 limits them

[little osprey]

Ah.

[storm sun]

well I will take a look and see what I can put together I will post the components I pick before making a purchase 😛

[hollow grail]

b460 moment

[little osprey]

Oh intel limiting chipsets.

forgot about that.

[muted patio]

Just use this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gn6jCz

[hollow grail]

at least usb works

[muted patio]

I already made a list for you

[little osprey]

You've seen sara? been lurking lol

[uncut pelican]

What is this

Got it with my case

[desert gulch]

pcie extension

[muted patio]

PCI-E vert mount cable

[hollow grail]

[muted patio]

however!!!

[uncut pelican]

Thought so kinda

[muted patio]

Need to set BIOS to PCI-E gen 3 for that to work right

[storm sun]

@muted patio oh that is the list I thought it was just a help site for me to pick .....see .... me = dummy.

[hollow grail]

happens to everyone

[muted patio]

No worries, that's why we are here

[little osprey]

GPU for vertical mount

[uncut pelican]

Im not gonna use

[little osprey]

PCIE Gen4 exist

but more expensive

iirc more common in the server space.

because they attach fast drives, and etc to them.

[hollow grail]

speed

[little osprey]

Wish they were cheaper

I need one for backpack pc

[storm sun]

so with the part on the list I will need to buy the OS seperate?

[muted patio]

Yes

That also

Also monitor, KB and mouse, forgot about those

[stone haven]

anyone got any good RGB AIOs?

[muted patio]

EK 240mm for RGB AIO

$120

Top of the line cooling as well

[storm sun]

ok thank you

[muted patio]

YW

[little osprey]

EK or artic?

Arctic

[muted patio]

EK for RGB

Arctic for non-RGB

[little osprey]

Ah okay.

So then time to prepare to buy arctic

been tempting to get a 280mm

[muted patio]

Just go 360mm lol

280 can be hard to fit in a lot of cases

[little osprey]

My case doesn't fit 360 top lol

[muted patio]

ah

[little osprey]

280

they just said you needed lpx ram

Which I have.

[stone haven]

im gonna get a 360

it looks alot better in my case, its a TD500 mesh

[muted patio]

ya, 360mm top mount looks great in my P500A as well

so clean

[balmy onyx]

hey so i just got my rm1000x off newegg.ca and it come with a "type I" power cable not a "type B " has this happened to anyone else?

[muted patio]

The EU style 3 prong?

[fossil halo]

type b is the right one?

[muted patio]

I'd honestly just message Corsair and they'll send you one

[fossil halo]

Type I outlets are found in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and China.

[little osprey]

Corsair was really nice for my RMA so far.

[fossil halo]

i just got hella poer cables lying around the hosue

[little osprey]

I got a dent in the case from their stiff psu's

and the 3.5 inch tray crushing it lol

[fossil halo]

the psu cable i got was too short

so i just replaced it with my monitor cable

[little osprey]

and they said, we'll replace your case, and responded pretty fast.

[fossil halo]

yea

[little osprey]

Even paid for a free label.

[fossil halo]

i've heard good things about corsair rmas

my friend had to rma his aio

takes a bit

but thats with all ecommerce rmas

vs just popping into the store and dropping it off

but yea 308 knight you should be able to pick up a power cable for like 5$

but thats only if ur like too lazy to rma

[muted patio]

Or if you have a spare one lying around

From a monitor or another computer

They're all the saem

[fossil halo]

yea

https://www.amazon.com/C2G-03134-Universal-Power-Cord/dp/B0002J20YI/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=power%2Bcable&qid=1614206541&sr=8-3&th=1

[balmy onyx]

ok thanks folks ill try contacting them and see what they can do for me

[fossil halo]

3$

[fossil halo]

yeppers

[muted patio]

EHhhh

[fossil halo]

i just realized

my pc

[muted patio]

taht's 18 guage

Wouldn't recommend

[fossil halo]

whtas the difference

[muted patio]

16 gauge at least

Amperage

[gusty pasture]

its only 1 ft

[fossil halo]

gauge is the thicc nesss of the wire right

[fossil halo]

thers options going all the way till like 20 ft

[muted patio]

Yes, thickness

1000 watts should be on 16 gauge

[fossil halo]

i remember

i had to get some mad thin wire

[gusty pasture]

@fossil halo not for 3$

[fossil halo]

for a science project

[fossil halo]

tru

for like 3$ more u get the 10ft one

bigger the gauge number the thinner the wire right

[little osprey]

Depends

[gusty pasture]

yes

[little osprey]

ive seen psu's with thick gauges and thin wire

yes

[fossil halo]

i had to buy some tungsten wire

and i got scammed

literal like 9502359748957289456284756892345 gauge wire

[gusty pasture]

nice

[little osprey]

seen PSU's with thin gauge but the wire was a bit thicker,

[sharp tundra]

Why is water cooling so damn expensive?

[fossil halo]

my dad literally couldnt see it

[gusty pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/curb-your-enthusiasm-larry-david-pretty-good-good-great-gif-4731991

[little osprey]

You mean custom loops?

[fossil halo]

aios arent too bad for what they are

pricing wise*

[sharp tundra]

yeah

[little osprey]

prob cause of tubes

[fossil halo]

yea and fittings

[muted patio]

and pump

[little osprey]

pumps

reso

lots of stuff

[muted patio]

rad

[little osprey]

^

[gusty pasture]

@sharp tundra because all of the fittings have to be checked and so on

[little osprey]

and that adds up

[fossil halo]

custom loops is a lot of work too

and u gotta pay for the heat gun and stuff too

[gusty pasture]

thats y cpus are expensive 2

[sharp tundra]

like EK and corsiar are both like $800

[fossil halo]

that seems a bit steep

[gusty pasture]

yep

[fossil halo]

what are you trying to water cool

[sharp tundra]

well the distro plate im getting is like $360

[muted patio]

wat

[fossil halo]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-harvey-shocked-terkejut-kaget-suprised-gif-12174657

[muted patio]

OH, for a full custom loop yeah

Blocks are expensive

[sharp tundra]

yeah

[gusty pasture]

like 80$ for a good 1

[little osprey]

[gusty pasture]

NEED to be cooled

[muted patio]

There's Byski too https://www.bykski.us/

[sharp tundra]

yeah, im selling thes pc once my new one is built

[little osprey]

Don't get the point of liquid cooling

[gusty pasture]

how much

[little osprey]

Also known as loops

chance of leaks increase.

more moving parts.

[fossil halo]

sheeeeeeeesh

[gusty pasture]

@sharp tundra how much?

[muted patio]

Ey

[sharp tundra]

im only keeping gpu, so maybe like $600

[muted patio]

[muted patio]

https://www.bykski.us/

[sharp tundra]

i seen

[gusty pasture]

This is another one https://www.xs-pc.com/

And of course Primochill

do tghey both have rgb options? for the increased performance

[muted patio]

https://www.primochill.com/

RGB blocks?

Yes

[sharp tundra]

yeah for the cpu

[muted patio]

Yes

They even have some with temp displays built in

https://www.bykski.us/collections/cpu-blocks/products/bykski-cpu-xpr-b-pa-amd-cpu-water-cooling-block-clear-w-rbw-am2-am3-am4-tr4

For example

[sharp tundra]

and will these brands work with my EK distroplate?

[muted patio]

yeah, just get the right connectors. no reason it won't, tubing is just tubing.

[sharp tundra]

okay, ill look into these brands, i assume theyre cheaper than ek too

[muted patio]

$50 for the aRGB block above

[sharp tundra]

okay, ill do some reseach, figure out which ones i like

[muted patio]

A lot of the top HWBOT guys use Bykski. Lemme check the other plcae for some I might have missed

[little osprey]

could anyone look at this build and tell me if its any good?

[muted patio]

change ram to this: https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164173

faster for another $2

[little osprey]

Number 1.
Try to find a better case with airflow. Big recommendation

H510 Airflow only has 1 rear exhaust and a tiny square mesh on top

[muted patio]

Cheaper better power supply: https://www.newegg.com/segotep-gp-series-650w-fully-modular/p/1HU-00Z0-00007?Description=segotep 650W&cm_re=segotep_650W-_-9SIAM7KB3V6505-_-Product

[little osprey]

Seagate.

Avoid the seagate barracuda like a plague.

ok

[sharp tundra]

Change Case, add a 250gb ssd for boot,

[little osprey]

WD.

works.

Change 3600 CL18 to 3200 CL16

[muted patio]

WAT

NO

[little osprey]

Wait

[muted patio]

i already linked ram

[sharp tundra]

3600cl16

[little osprey]

Oh

[muted patio]

https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164173

[little osprey]

Didn't see that lol

Damn Zen3 uses faster speeds?

was Zen2 the 3200C16?

[muted patio]

None are 3200c16

[little osprey]

cant find that on pc part picker

[muted patio]

Add it as a custom part down below with the link

[little osprey]

oh ok

[sharp tundra]

you could probably find a seasonic psu for same specs

[muted patio]

Pricey

hecka expensive

$100+ for 650W

[sharp tundra]

Really?

[little osprey]

Wait

then why did everyone go for 3200cl16

[muted patio]

yeah because the S12III is garbage

[little osprey]

I swear that used to be the go to.

[muted patio]

Because silly

They misunderstood a GN video about ram

[little osprey]

lmao.

[muted patio]

3200C14=3600C16

[little osprey]

OH

lmao

[muted patio]

3600C16 cheaper

[potent portal]

That was the affordable price/performance option in days past as well

[little osprey]

Ah.

Makes sense.

[muted patio]

That too

[sharp tundra]

new 4000cl15 ram go bRRRRRRR

[little osprey]

Yeah like Racer already said

[gusty abyss]

yeah, 3600 ram was kinda hard to grab for a bit

[little osprey]

Change PSU

[muted patio]

Already fixed PSU

[little osprey]

does this have flashback?

[muted patio]

yeah, the good seasonics are $100++ for 650W

I checked

[hollow grail]

u need 4133mhz cl19 clearly

[sharp tundra]

NO, my friend got that mobo and suffered for it greatly

[potent portal]

I'm really looking forward to my new ram. Going from 3200C16 to 4133C18 (with rgb lol)

[hollow grail]

wait falcie

is it that adata kit

[potent portal]

No lol

[hollow grail]

oh lol

that was the kit i was meme telling ppl to get

i kinda want

[potent portal]

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B088D9Z6DM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_PM22QKE45B9999DYRY5X

That's the one I bought

[sharp tundra]

i honestly would not recommend getting that mobo with that cpu unless you know a place you can go for them to flash it for you

[little osprey]

Wait

I really want to buy 4000CL14 now

But its gonna be hella expensive

[sharp tundra]

my friend got that same board and cpu and spent 1 week trying to flash it himself

[potent portal]

Or... Buy cheap zen1 apu for like $15 and flash with that

[sharp tundra]

only like $400

[little osprey]

oof

Was it the tool?

Or what

Lol

Thanks for reminding me

[sharp tundra]

i honestly dont know

[little osprey]

eventually i should buy zen3

since i have a 3700x now

[sharp tundra]

i havent had to deal with it

[muted patio]

Wait for AM5

[little osprey]

lmao i was thinking that

Also why didn't zen3 launch drop zen2 prices?

[muted patio]

3700 should be more than enough until then

[sharp tundra]

WHy doE?

[muted patio]

because going from Zen 2 to Zen 3 isn't worth the price

[little osprey]

I thought Zen2 would of been hella cheaper when zen3 dropped.

But it stayed relatively the same.

[potent portal]

Demand went up

[muted patio]

$550 for a 5800x is oof

and the performance increase isn't that great IMO for $500

[sharp tundra]

eh, its MSRP is $450

[little osprey]

How did helping Dallas find a motherboard for Zen3 go from, "I don't want to ASUS" to fine ASUS

lol

[muted patio]

Yeah, $450

Still

[little osprey]

and another one bites the ASUS.

no wonder 5800x is bad value

[potent portal]

It was worth the upgrade for me, 2700 to 5800X. I do a lot of single core limited stuff.

[little osprey]

cause 3700x was def hella enough

[muted patio]

That's idfferent tho, that's 2000 series

[little osprey]

quite an upgrade from i5-2500

Non K

[sharp tundra]

i think $450 for next gen stuff is pretty alright, 5600x is still like $300

[little osprey]

Also.

[sharp tundra]

same as last gen pretty much

[little osprey]

Will PCIE Resize bar make that much of a difference?

Cause its not on Zen2 iirc

[muted patio]

Don't know yet

nVidia driver isn't out

Supposed to be out with 3060 launch so hopefully tomorrow

[little osprey]

wait, but ASUS has support for it in theb ios?

Bios*

[muted patio]

they all have BIOS support now

[little osprey]

oh

[muted patio]

Need nVidia driver support

[little osprey]

ah

[potent portal]

MSI has it also, enabled and ready on my end

[little osprey]

imma be honest

a bit sad corsair dropped 5000D when I bought 4000D lol

More support for radiators, what i was looking for.

[muted patio]

Yeah, my TUF X570 is ready and waiting

[little osprey]

RMA Update: "The board is being repaired currently"

TBD: None given lol

[muted patio]

Well yeah, they gotta look at it first silly

[little osprey]

Lol, thats what the ASUS Update page says

no emails

just that

[potent portal]

Kinda glad I went with X470 instead of X570 with the usb and other issues

[little osprey]

Sorta happy zen2 aint having the issues lol

[gusty pasture]

me2

[little osprey]

20% of my icons are broken

lol

cause my board only supports 1 m.2 currently

[gusty pasture]

you ahve to reinstall them

[sharp tundra]

my biggest beef with tech companies right now is their lack of USB 3.1 Gen 2 right angle connectors for motherboard headers

[little osprey]

I have to reinstall the drive.

The files were on the other drive.

[gusty pasture]

i had the same problem

and reinstallign fixed them

[sharp tundra]

i dont want that stupit plug sticking up like a boner off my mobo

[little osprey]

Yeah cause they aren't on this drive...

lol

[gusty pasture]

oh

[little osprey]

1 m.2 is plugged in

i don't have another slot for my second one

ah yes.

Not TBD date lol

[potent portal]

They have right angle adapters, but iirc it was the special usb c header adapter you needed

[little osprey]

They do

[little osprey]

5000D comes with a right angle one

I was watching GN's video on it this morning

[sharp tundra]

yeah, but i dont have an asrock board

[little osprey]

Corsair bundles it in that case

[potent portal]

But not the C header, only the regular one

[little osprey]

Oh

[sharp tundra]

oh

[little osprey]

I meant the 3.2

[sharp tundra]

i need a type c, thats what im beefed about

[little osprey]

They ahve right angle 3.2 headers.

I didn't know you had c

yeah they only have this i can find

For USB

not C

[sharp tundra]

yeah, thats usless to me with the mobo im getting

[exotic vault]

Guys.

[sharp tundra]

cause itll already my right angle

[little osprey]

you gonna post a discord link?

or spam

[exotic vault]

Should i get the i9 10850K or the 5 5600x?

[little osprey]

Oh my bad

[potent portal]

Asrock gives x570 owners the C adapter free if you ask

[exotic vault]

Bruh

[little osprey]

thought you were one of those bots lol

[exotic vault]

Its ok

[sharp tundra]

5600X

[exotic vault]

no

lol

[little osprey]

Had like 10 of em today so far

"Guys"
Proceeds to spam a paragraph rant lol

My bad.

[muted patio]

What are you doing with the machine?

[little osprey]

^

[muted patio]

5600x has faster single core

[sharp tundra]

aorus board

[muted patio]

but gets SPANKED by the 10850 in multi

[little osprey]

so exact opposites lol

[muted patio]

For gaming ONLY, 5600x. For videos, photos, anything multi core, 10850

[sharp tundra]

5950xt for lyfe

[potent portal]

XT?

[sharp tundra]

isnt there an xt?

[muted patio]

No

[sharp tundra]

oh

[potent portal]

There's an X lol

[sharp tundra]

5950X for lyfe

[little osprey]

Ah yws

[potent portal]

5950 is good for workstations but 5900 is better for gaming

[little osprey]

Yes

5950xt nice

A new edition to the and lineup

Amd

[sharp tundra]

3960x is better for work stations

[little osprey]

With higher base and boost

[sharp tundra]

lol

[little osprey]

3700xt zen3

Lol

It would confuse consumers

You need flashblack lol

[potent portal]

It's already confusing having the GPU line almost the exact same naming as the CPU line

[sharp tundra]

right?

[little osprey]

Wut

Radeon and ryzen?

[sharp tundra]

yes

[potent portal]

Yes

[muted patio]

6800xt, 5800X

etc

[potent portal]

5700XT from last gen too

[muted patio]

Yep

[little osprey]

So an ever better reason for 3700xt lul

[muted patio]

Don't even get me started on the old nVidia 6800XT lol

[little osprey]

Lol

[muted patio]

ancient

[little osprey]

YI s

Yes

Can we go back to agp

Agp>pcie

Great i want to see my 3070 bottleneck on agp

[sharp tundra]

AMD 5600XT with AMD 5600X

[little osprey]

But no x16 to agp exists lol

[little osprey]

Nvidia 3070 with nvidia 3700xt when

[potent portal]

Most GPUs don't need x16 (yet)

[fervent hound]

Does anyone here know computer review webpages?. I forgot what the one was called that was suggested here

[little osprey]

Oh i mean the physical slot

[sharp tundra]

newegg

[muted patio]

Tomshardware?

[little osprey]

No adapter exists for agp to pcie

[sharp tundra]

??

[muted patio]

is a good one

[little osprey]

I think

[muted patio]

Gamers Nexus is another

[sharp tundra]

AmAzOn

[little osprey]

Buildzoid

[fervent hound]

I thought it was called something like ting

[muted patio]

Ting?

[potent portal]

Rting

[little osprey]

Does reviews on his page iirc for vrms

Ting?

[muted patio]

yeah, Rtings for monitors

not sure I'd trust for CPU stuff tho

[fervent hound]

Yes!!...it was rting. thanks.

[little osprey]

Lol

Didnt know that was a thing

[fervent hound]

I wanted to compare two computer monitors

[little osprey]

Sounded like a dating app

Ting

Lol

[fervent hound]

Better book mark it this time

I will check tomshardware too though

Trying to choose a new monitor for a 2018 mac mini because it doesn't play nice with Dell monitors.

[little osprey]

Hot like ryzen

Or fx

Lol

[fervent hound]

Rting had a section on recommended mac mini monitors that I was looking at.

[little osprey]

Time to text while biking lol

[sharp tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mbftbh Heres my new build, its gonna have an Aorus rtx 3080 Xtreme waterforce and a full custom loop

[fervent hound]

I was also looking at an Apple brand monitor sold on facebook marketplace.

[muted patio]

Going all out eh??

[sharp tundra]

ALso, prices are not msrp

[sharp tundra]

yup

[south jewel]

Ur getting that?

[sharp tundra]

that mobo is not actually $2400

yes

[little osprey]

Really going out

High end mobo

I can respect that

[south jewel]

That is crazy rip ur wallet ig

[fervent hound]

well that's confusing, the recommendations on Rting for mac minis just changed

[sharp tundra]

eh, maybe, but its as close as im ever going to get to a true dream PC

[south jewel]

Ye

[sharp tundra]

so i dont minde spending $3-4K on it

[fervent hound]

I felt like I was getting close to making a monitor choice and now I'm confused again

[sharp tundra]

so my new pc will cost me almost exactly $4000 with everything i need for it

including custom loop

[potent portal]

You can get a ticket for that (in most states) since bicyclists have to follow the same laws as cars

[sharp tundra]

and msrp price

[austere vale]

why 4 x 8gb and not 2 x 16?

[sharp tundra]

cause more rgb

duh

[hoary cloak]

My CPU just randomly stopped spinning

[sharp tundra]

and im not spending $700 on ram

[hoary cloak]

I’ve been using it for months and it just randomly stopped

[potent portal]

Reboot
Test another fan in that cpu header, and the cpu in another header as well

That will narrow down if it's the fan itself or something else

[hoary cloak]

Ok

[sharp tundra]

im building this pc to hopefully get BitWit to recognize me and have me work for him

lol

[fervent hound]

Can't find the tunderbolt monitor on the review site

[sharp tundra]

@muted patio so with watercooling, if i am getting 2 rads, do they need to be thick ones? or can i get away with having thin rads?

[muted patio]

With two, you can get away with going thinner

[fervent hound]

Picking a new monitor is...overwhelming:(

[sharp tundra]

EKs thin rads that i chose said they can cool up to 860Watts

[sharp tundra]

it really is

[muted patio]

Yeah, you'll be fine with dual rads for sure

Just make sure to get good static pressure fans like Vardar or something

[sharp tundra]

i planned on getting lian li unis

will those be alright?

[fervent hound]

I wanted to compare the newer model of m onitor to the apple brand one from 2011-2014...but it's too v\confusing for me to compare on different webpages

[muted patio]

If those are the SL fans, that's what they put on their own AIO's so yes

[sharp tundra]

so theyll be alright?

[muted patio]

Yes

[sharp tundra]

cool, i really dint want to have to cable manage 40 cables

[fossil halo]

ayo btw
my pc just crashed
and im spooked
it does this every once in a while
wehre it just freezes
and i just gotta cold restart

is that normal

dont think it is

happens like

once every two weeks

[sharp tundra]

specs?

[fossil halo]

r7 3700x gt 710

16gb 3200

512gb nvme

b550m ds3h ac

[sharp tundra]

GTX 710?

[fossil halo]

gt 710*

no x

[sharp tundra]

oh....

are you waiting for a new gpu or something?

[fossil halo]

yessir

precisely that

i have been waiting since december 9th 2020

[sharp tundra]

oh, well, that gpu sounds like a problem in its own

thas old stuff

[exotic vault]

ok

[sharp tundra]

@muted patio Hey, whats the best size tubing to get?

[exotic vault]

how about 7 5800x vs i9 10850K ??

[little osprey]

[stoic island]

10850k..?

[sharp tundra]

@fossil halo also, i honestly have no idea what the issue could be, maybe your using too much power sometimes and your system shuts off

whats your PSU?

[exotic vault]

My bad

[stoic island]

Get whatever tubing fits the rad/block you buy

[fossil halo]

hehe

psu

[exotic vault]

Witch one is better?

[fossil halo]

s12iii

[sharp tundra]

wattage and rating is all i care about

[stoic island]

@exotic vault no concrete answer, 10850k more cores, 5800x better per core

@sharp tundra NO

S12iii failure rate is interesting

[muted patio]

Yeah, 5800x better single core

[exotic vault]

Ok.

[muted patio]

10850 better multi core

Same as 5600x

[sharp tundra]

brand matters too, but for the most part, you can get away with any of the major brands

[muted patio]

no

[stoic island]

@sharp tundra please just use the ltt psu tier list

[gusty abyss]

yeah that's extremely not the case for psus

[stoic island]

It gives you enough info

[stoic island]

And about the "major brands good nuff"

Look at the Gigabyte p-gm, it literally blew up

[sharp tundra]

well lets just say gigabyte is better in other departments

thats why im getting a seasonic

[stoic island]

Even Seasonic, the S12iii has a pretty interesting reputation with failures on top of just being a bad unit in terms of quality

[muted patio]

S12II is poo tho

S12III is also

[stoic island]

Yep

[sharp tundra]

how about Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium?

[stoic island]

Just.. use the ltt tier list, you don't have to actually learn the PSU stuff, tier list gives you enough info

Also, prime ultra..? Just the normal prime titanium?

[sharp tundra]

i dont understand what youre trying to ask

i put the model name up there

[gusty pasture]

hi 🙂

[stoic island]

There's no model named prime ultra titanium

A prime titanium exists from what I can tell

[sharp tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NxWfrH/seasonic-prime-ultra-titanium-1000w-80-titanium-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-1000tr

[stoic island]

Lmfao

[south jewel]

500 holy

[stoic island]

Pcpp is being dumb

@sharp tundra it's just a normal prime titanium

[sharp tundra]

ah

[stoic island]

Was wondering if they made a new model

[sharp tundra]

but i assume its pretty gooch?

[stoic island]

Pretty good, but seems overpriced
