night

small tinsel
#

Thanks for your help!! ❤️

hollow grail
#

the clevo is more a computer id take with me while i travel

#

and less of a laptop

#

like i wouldnt really move it every day

small tinsel
#

hmmm. 👀

hollow grail
#

however it provides actually insane performance that will blow any other mobile workstation out of the water

small tinsel
#

is there also a major cost difference for that grand performance?

hollow grail
#

but ur looking at like 4k for the best trim of that laptop

#

however thats what u can expect to pay for a high mid range mobile workstation

small tinsel
#

true.. but yall said the thinkpad is made better right?

#

So like i would pay 4k and it would last a longer time

hollow grail
#

this is a pretty good config

#

and

#

ive owned some 7+ year old clevo units

#

theyre just plastic laptops

#

like if you hit it hard it might crack

small tinsel
#

did you make a custom config and try to link it? I dont think it saves configs in links

#

oof that sucks though about the quality

hollow grail
#

it does

#

click the configurator and it should populate with my config

little osprey
#

I found this

hollow grail
#

and i mean

little osprey
#

8k threadripper laptop

hollow grail
#

thinkpads are just above every other laptop

#

id say build quality with clevo is average

thorn willow
#

that's a nice modular bomb ngl thinkies

small tinsel
#

wow im building a thinkpad and man these arnt cheap hahaha

#

its like building a full sized pc XD

fossil halo
#

ayo rq

#

what is a good psu for a r5 3600 3060 system

#

preferrably 650+ watts for future

#

should i go with the amp

muted patio
#

Segotep modular

hollow grail
#

businesses have money

muted patio
fossil halo
muted patio
#

Almost as good

fossil halo
#

alright then

#

thanks

hollow grail
#

most end users dont so i think using a gaming laptop like the clevo

#

might be better

fossil halo
#

and is cooler master sickleflow a good fan

small tinsel
#

is there any benefit from going 4 16gb or 2 32gb ram?

fossil halo
thorn willow
#

seems like it

small tinsel
#

@fossil halo in a laptop you dont see it so I guess faster it is!

balmy patio
thorn willow
#

if only DDR5 rams were rolled out quite earlier 😭

fossil halo
small tinsel
#

what are these redline boost the operating system and overclocking the graphics card. I know what over clocking is but do yall think its worth paything the extra mula for?

#

I have no clue what the boost is

wanton cliff
#

Boost is usually for CPU

potent portal
thorn willow
#

ik but intel already added support for DDR5 ram with its alder lake cpu and new socket (LGA 1700)

wanton cliff
#

Possibly AM4+

thorn willow
#

would be 6000/7000 series by then 😂

#

idek

wanton cliff
#

Not going to be very good to start tho

#

Just like DDR4 and 3 were

#

Need to give it a year or two to mature first

thorn willow
#

5000 series still pretty costly

#

3000 it is 😦

#

but idrc

#

i just wanted PCIe 4.0 support under my budget

potent portal
#

Even 5600X is better than 3700X (in gaming)

muted patio
#

yes

thorn willow
#

i don't game tho

#

it's basically for my work

little osprey
#

Wait is 5700 multithread?.

potent portal
#

So what did you need the PCIe 4 bandwidth for?

thorn willow
#

yeah, relatively new CPUs are quite better than old units

wanton cliff
little osprey
#

5750?

wanton cliff
#

You mean 5800x?

little osprey
#

Yes.

wanton cliff
#

Dummy

little osprey
#

lol

wanton cliff
#

Yes, I believe it’s multi thread

potent portal
#

5800X is 8 core 16 thread

little osprey
#

PogU that might be useful in blender.

thorn willow
wanton cliff
#

Why that specific SSD

little osprey
#

and another in my rig

potent portal
#

So you plan on doing frequent sustained write operations? That's the only time it's useful

wanton cliff
#

Why not a 980 pro or a sabrent rocket

#

Or even a SX 8200

thorn willow
#

980 Pro is costlier than that atm

little osprey
#

Sabrent rocket is pretty good

#

running the normal rocket

thorn willow
#

yeah i tried sabrent but it's out of stock for now

little osprey
#

5000 mb/s

wanton cliff
#

Ok Garou

little osprey
#

Ohhh

wanton cliff
#

Fine

thorn willow
#

rip

little osprey
#

i think i purchased last m.2 lol

wanton cliff
#

Heh

#

Sell it to him

little osprey
#

I ordered it, 2 weeks ago iirc?

#

or 1 week

wanton cliff
#

You didn’t then

#

Because it was in stock a couple days ago

little osprey
#

damn lol

#

would of felt good KEK

thorn willow

#

how to tell if product is bad

#

check i its mafe by adata

thorn willow
#

lol sata hdd

little osprey
#

You want bad?

#

Intel branded hard drives

#

Or Toshiba

hollow grail
#

outside of low effort meme answers adata is the sketchiest "big" brand

little osprey
#

I've used adata before

#

They're....ok

#

Bit high on the price, but decent quality

muted patio
#

If you don't consider them changing DRAM and controllers willy nilly and nerfing their drives without saying anything

little osprey
#

Huh

muted patio
#

They've done that with the 8200 a couple times now

#

Really shady

little osprey
#

My favorite brand for RAM is OLOy

#

Besides corsair of course

#

i was supposed to get bundled oloy ram with my 3070 lol

#

didn't get ram

#

just got 3070

#

Oof

#

Supposed to

#

eh made combo cheaper

#

Maybe they ran out of the ram

when you wake up at 5:30 for gpu's that are now confirmed to come at 9 am

#

😫

static ravine
#

lol

#

I just pray I can get a 3060 for 350$ usd probs not going to happen tho

fossil halo
#

Wth is this

#

On my mac

#

Pls someone

sullen spoke
#

umm almost looks like a screensaver

fossil halo
#

it does

#

but when it comes i cant get rid of it

#

i have to restart the mac

#

could it be a virus?

sullen spoke
#

check settings for anything weird or maybe just turn screensaver off

fossil halo
#

i literally downloaded nothing sus on this mac

sullen spoke
#

you can do a malwarebytes scan if you think there is a virus

fossil halo
#

or wait no it is a screensaver

#

but it just randomly turns on

sullen spoke
fossil halo
#

thx

ruby ledge
wanton cliff
#

use this ssd

fair birch
#

also dont use that motherboard for a non k series cpu

quasi snow
#

you probably don't need that 3600 ram either with an intel cpu

wanton cliff
#

also yeah

fair birch
#

yeah

#

you can save money for a 9600 or 10600

wanton cliff
#

the return diminishes

fair birch
#

if you tone down the mobo and the ram

#

also that psu is a bit overpriced

dapper geode
#

I need a gpu that can handle cad 3d rendering and occasional gaming. The 3060ti is over $1000 in my area. Would a rtx 3060 do the job?

fair birch
#

yeah it should

little osprey
fair birch
#

at least better than other gpus

wanton cliff
#

jeez, intel boards are expensive

ruby ledge
#

or should i go with r5 3600?

fair birch
#

yeagh

little osprey
#

no

muted patio
little osprey
#

why would u

fair birch
ruby ledge
#

i can go with a r5 3600 b450 tomahawk

little osprey
muted patio
#

not in PCPP tho

little osprey
muted patio
#

So that part sucks

little osprey
#

but for now we use newegg

fair birch
#

but if you want get a 9600 with the spare money from the ram, psu, and mobo

muted patio
#

I haven't had enough coffee to minmax that yet but...Segotep Modular 650W for $72, B560 board for $109, can save some bucks there. 3600 ram not necessary for intel but not sure how much cheaper 3200 is, can save a few more bucks there.

fair birch
#

3000 mhz should also be good

#

its quite a bit cheaper i think

wanton cliff
#

cheaper

#

for 3200mhz

muted patio
#

Eh

#

leave it then

wanton cliff
#

might as well keep 3600

fair birch
#

3000 mhz should be cheaper

muted patio
#

But mobo and PSU definitely save some

fair birch
#

yeah

muted patio
#

Mmmm, 3200 at least for intel, sweet spot

fair birch
#

ig

muted patio
#

especially with B560 here now

#

10400 + 3200 mhz ram = AMD 3600 spanking in games

fair birch
#

Okay.

dapper geode
#

I need a gpu that can handle cad 3d rendering and occasional gaming. The 3060ti is over $1000 in my area. Would a rtx 3060 do the job?

fair birch
#

we said yes already

wanton cliff
#

yes

little osprey
#

now we wait for 3050Ti YEP

wanton cliff
#

weest

little osprey
muted patio
#

Nah

little osprey
#

any good?

muted patio
#

Sgg sgp

#

Ill grab a link in a sec

muted patio
#

I had the letters wrong

little osprey
#

hm

muted patio
#

GPG is what I was thinking of

brittle tinsel
#

Doesn’t razer chroma have a sort of game sync that syncs supported game scenes and rgb lighting?

#

Ok so it does, is it possible now a days to build a pc with all rgb (fans, ram, led strips on your desk, and even an led strip inside the pc) to all sync together?
I have heard issues of needing to re synchronize the leds but if that is just as easy as restarting the programs I’m fine with that, I just don’t wanna take it apart and unplug, plug something back in just to re sync lighting

#

Hey guys do you guys know Ashby he buying screen is going to come out on Newegg

#

For 3060

muted patio
#

newegf Shuffle for the 3060

wicked frigate
#

Wait there a shuffle

rancid lodge
#

AMD direct soon boyyyys

#

get your amd tab ready for hopefully another Thursday drop

wicked frigate
#

Wait

#

On what

muted patio
wicked frigate
#

@rancid lodge

#

Newegg

rancid lodge
wicked frigate
#

Form what website

rancid lodge
#

AMD direct

#

expect drops in around 15-20 mins

#

I'm hoping I can finally grab my 5900x

wicked frigate
#

Today

rancid lodge
#

I'm gonna drop my bot delay time to 1 second intervals lmao

muted patio
#

I hope you realize websites ban for that

rancid lodge
#

it's a webscraper

#

I'm doing 3 now

#

I can run 1-2 maybe

#

I've done it before and it's lasted longer so

#

time outs just are far more frequent when I drop it below 3

wicked frigate
#

@muted patio so is Newegg only doing an shuffle

muted patio
#

Yes

wicked frigate
#

Do you any news for b and h @muted patio

muted patio
#

no

rancid lodge
#

@muted patio I'm at 10k requests now with 3 second delays and it's only had short time outs a couple times as you can see

Imeanitsnotthatbad.PNG
#

usually at 3 it lasts 3-4k requests before it dies off but at 1-2 seconds it doesn't last very long, but I've never been banned considering it's a webscraper

wanton cliff
#

only games i know it works with are terraria, apex, and fortnite

#

it works best with terraria

rancid lodge
#

Why not Minecraft lol

#

ig it works better with terraria with all it's biome ambiance

#

but it could still work with minecraft

wanton cliff
#

I like terraria

#

nice, ambient game

rancid lodge
#

yeah

wanton cliff
#

it might work with Celeste too

#

if it doesnt

#

razer

#

what are you doing?

hollow grail
#

razer needs to pay devs to integrate it

#

its stupid anyways cause when youre playing a game you arent looking at your keyboard

hollow grail
rancid lodge
#

yep

#

It was an API based bot but uh well

#

yeah there's the issue with getting keys

hollow grail
#

even less likely if ur running from a non datacenter ip

rancid lodge
#

Running it locally

#

but yeah I didn't make it so I only sorta understand it

hollow grail
#

then yeah you gain a lot of imminity from not being in a datacenter ip range

muted patio
hollow grail
#

residential ip ranges get a LOT of leeway

#

exactly

wicked frigate
#

@muted patio one more thing umm how many people are going to be chosen for the shuffle

#

Do you have any clue

muted patio
#

We don't have access to any of that kind of information

wicked frigate
#

Oh ok

muted patio
#

no one does

wicked frigate
#

B and h doesn’t even have an buying option gets

#

Yet

stoic island
#

It's about how many of the items are in stock so

wicked frigate
#

Ok

little osprey
#

can i not enter the shuffle anymore?

wicked frigate
#

You have to wait

#

There is like 15 min

#

Jan I can enter

lmao I got banned from AMD legit as soon as the stuff dropped, 20 per minute was a bit too much

wicked frigate
#

Look

rancid lodge

went to VPN and it was too late

#

yeah it's out

wicked frigate
#

uneven fractal

what are the odds of getting the 3060

wicked frigate
#

Bro guys where u getting it 3060

hollow grail
#

you share a pool of ip with however many other users are there

uneven fractal
#

newegg

hollow grail
#

stop spamming

muted patio
#

No one knows the odds

wicked frigate
#

@uneven fractal it’s a drop so

#

It’s going to be hard

uneven fractal
#

ugh yeah

#

i heard performance wasnt the greatest

wicked frigate
#

I do t b and h are selling

#

I hope they do

rancid lodge
#

oh well time to enter the shuffle

wicked frigate
#

B and h

#

Good luck

#

I am hating b and h rn

brisk crest
#

Hi guys new here and new to the build world.. I have questions, maybe you guys can help

hollow grail
#

such as?

#

list your questions and someone will help

uneven fractal
#

wait is it sold out already

#

has anyone got it yet

brisk crest
#

Like an idiot I bought a computer on eBay and when it arrived it was absolutely junk even though it was Microsoft refurbished I would like to try to upgrade it I will get my questions ready at the moment thank you guys

uneven fractal
#

on bb it says coming soon

#

neweggs site is dead

muted patio
#

Newegg is shuffle only

brisk crest
#

For starters what do I need to look for if I want to update the processor do I need to be concerned about the motherboard and if so what am I making sure

muted patio
#

Yes, socket and chipset compatibility

brisk crest
#

How do I check socket and chipset capability

muted patio
#

On the motherboard website, it will list them under the SUpport section, CPU compatibility

brisk crest
#

So that should I assume since it's a HP computer it's a HP motherboard

#

Which I can see the words HP on the Green

muted patio
#

Mmmmm

#

That won't have great compatibility

#

need the model number from the PC

balmy patio
#

it might also say what chipset the motherboard is, somewhere in the motherboard

brisk crest
muted patio
#

Well, HP tends to lock compatibility so even that may not be helpful

#

Need the model number on a sticker, usually on the back of the PC

hollow grail
#

ah yes one of those

#

depending on the generation of cpu itll work with an i7 of that generation no problem

brisk crest
#

HP Compaq Pro 6305 sff

hollow grail
#

yeah

#

i mean you can upgrade the cpu a bit but

#

psu is extremely proprietary

muted patio
#

OH my

#

AMD A series

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

Yes, please don't upgrade

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

Save for a new machine

brisk crest
#

Yeah this is a A4 so you say junk it

muted patio
#

Pretty much

brisk crest
#

Okay no big deal I'll chalk it up to one expensive cup of coffee LOL so now I have another question on a different system

brittle tinsel
brisk crest
#

I have the HP AMD ryzen 5 with a GeForce GTX 1650 super and it I'm running it solely for the purpose of mining on nicehash so that's as far as my skill level goes not bad at average $2 a day I would like to add another GPU in this machine and I'm on VA disability so I'm not rich LOL what would be your recommendation are they not too too expensive GPU to put into the system

hollow grail
#

there are no inexpensive gpus

brisk crest
#

Well I mean 600 or less respectively

hollow grail
#

and id check your power usage

#

3060ti/3070

#

probs making almost nothing with that spec

muted patio
#

Yeah, mining with a 1650 isn't profitable. Even a 3080 nets you what, $200 a month?

hollow grail
#

for now yeah

#

im mining on cpu

brisk crest
#

What does anybody have any recommendations what I can do with the current setup to make it better prior to me looking at another GPU to add into it in other words tweaking it or something

hollow grail
#

mining is dumb

#

dont get into it

#

is my recommendation

muted patio
#

mining is entirely dependent on GPU and VRAM

hollow grail
#

there is nothing you can do to make current setup better and itll cost a decent amount to get a new gpu

#

since its a prebuilt youll probs also need a new power supply

#

and since its from hp thats gonna be a proprietary psu

#

id just give up on the dream of becoming a major crypto overlord lol

muted patio
#

The investment for mining hardware is silly

#

Takes so long to get your investment back

hollow grail
#

its a big investment for temporary gains since the main coin people are mining isnt even gonna be around for too much longer

#

and depending on how much you pay for power

#

its just not worth lol

brisk crest
#

Yesterday I purchased a MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 D6 128-Bit Ventus XS OC HDMI/DP/DVI 4GB DirectX 12 is this smaller then the 1650 super.?

hollow grail
#

dont use 1650s for mining keeeek

little osprey
#

1650s are prob not that effecient at eth lol

brisk crest
#

But since I own it can it be installed in this system?

#

I'm not mining for the money short term...

#

It's a long time investment

#

I pay .11kwh

muted patio
#

Long term is a terrible investment

little osprey
#

^

brisk crest
#

But I been installing solar and its getting lower

little osprey
#

Did you hear?

brisk crest
#

Why?

little osprey
#

Eth went up too high

#

and then investors backed down

#

and eth fell 19%

#

wait

#

thats not eth lol

brisk crest
#

I see my Bitcoin balance go up and down all day long not too too worried about that so if I mining today at 51 K and tomorrow at 42k no big deal to me

little osprey

#

big bux

brisk crest
#

How would I know when looking inside the system if I Can install a 2nd 1650

muted patio
#

slots and power supply. I'm betting the PSU isn't up to the task

hollow grail
brisk crest
#

I bought yesterday a system here

muted patio
#

HP's come with weak power supplies

little osprey
#

^

hollow grail
#

then give up on investing into it

little osprey
#

HP Psu's are very weak especially depending on the desktop.

#

for example, i have a SFF Pc i used to use.

#

it came with a 240w psu.

hollow grail
#

not weak they just dont have any headroom cause most users dont need too much headroom

little osprey
#

^

hollow grail
#

the actual units are fantastic

little osprey
#

Yeah, i don't think HP is expecting people to stick a RTX 3080 into a sff psu lol

hollow grail
#

at least with dell

little osprey
#

Dell PSU's are actually good

#

IIRC FSP plat

hollow grail
#

u get pog worthy 80+ platinum FSP units

little osprey
#

hollow grail
#

on like every desktop

little osprey
#

FSP is pretty POG

#

Why do people hate on dell?

hollow grail
#

i think my EMC stuff uses delta

#

Oh that system is a gaming computer.. did that make a difference

wicked frigate
#

What happening to b and h

little osprey

Is it the warranty thing they pulled in Linus's video?

I was looking at an XPS14

as for the warranty thing if i call support or sales and i get connected to someone overseas i just ask to talk to someone in america

It will take forever to pay that back

#

Your killing me... lol the 1650 GPU I have which of the 2 would u put it in?

hollow grail
#

like literally the call center philosophy is just "go to third world country, pay them $1 per hour, offer $1 extra per package they sell"

little osprey
#

^ More than forever.

muted patio
little osprey
#

3070 already can take ages to mine

even with 60 MH

to get the eth payout limit

now a 1650 YIKES

but all my dell reps were in the US

#

and they actually got paid

My ASUS RMA went to some nonamerican accented country.

#

Lol.

hollow grail
#

for non consumer most of the time youre talking to someone without an accent

little osprey
#

The phone number seemed to go to India tbh

hollow grail
#

for consumer you get "tom" from "chicago"

little osprey
#

Oh did you hear?

#

NVIDIA's driver thing/bios for mining can still mine 7$ a day

hollow grail
#

yeah lol

little osprey
hollow grail
#

and it only blocks eth

little osprey
#

Yep.

muted patio
hollow grail
little osprey
#

People might not get around it.

#

But i can see them using it for other coins

#

However prob not bitcoin.

#

isn't btc transitioning to ASIC's?

#

Thats what Mando told me.

hollow grail
#

and dread depending on budget id probs get a thinkpad

#

if u get dell get it thru business

little osprey
#

Alright.

hollow grail
#

that way you actually talk to trained people who know what theyre doing

little osprey
#

I wasn't sure, needed something better than my i3-6100u

and dont ask you to "kindly do the needful"

a lot of the premium support services are worth

since theyll send a tech to you

Mining for me is more of a hobby that's why I say it's a long-term investment because it would take me let's say 10 months to get my money back 2 months worth to pay the electric and I'm broke even after a year I figured add more computers to the system shorten the year down

my ASUS board went to Indiana

i dont pay the electric for that box and all it needs is single core

they had stock they said

so i gave the other 3 threads to xmrig

#

the performance was gonna be insane they said

#

did they say that?

#

Bestbuy took 3 of my broken keyboards and replaced them

#

and i don't think Bestbuy said that

hollow grail
#

so far i have made two pennies

No.

#

To high demand

#

Everyone wants a GPU

best buy is just cringe

Not really bots

bro I got a 5900x in my cart and was spamming checkout,

im like

and it wasn't even out of stock or removed yet

and they couldn't ship it to my area

I literally have a AIO from best buy

hollow grail

fr there was one if u scroll a bit

right next to me

hollow grail
#

its kinda sad because its such a money sink and like

brisk crest
#

Okay so since I'm running on poor-performing computers any recommendations to soup them up

hollow grail
#

if you didnt get in early you wont make much

hollow grail
#

please

#

stop wasting your money

brisk crest
#

Lol funny

hollow grail
#

thats the last bit of help youre getting from me lul

#

its insanely not worth

#

im not trying to be mean youre just gonna end up with less money than you started with

brisk crest
#

I understand about the money I'm not in it for the money

hollow grail
#

especially since you didnt even know how to find out if something is good based on hashrate

#

if youre saying its a hobby id advise actually learning how your hobby works before you spend another cent on it

#

otherwise youll just waste more money

wanton cliff

Lili

brisk crest
#

Well I thought I knew what I needed to know but I discovered yeah there is a lot more to know that I don't know that's what I'm trying to do here LOL

wanton cliff
#

Why can’t I upload a 107gb file to GoFile?

fair birch
#

its kind of hard to make money mining

hollow grail
#

did it stop you from uploading?

muted patio
#

RTX3070/RTX3080 for mining

hollow grail

what u even uploading lul

muted patio
#

Everything else is meh

wanton cliff
#

I can’t legally say here

fair birch
#

well for eth its easier now ive heard

fair birch
muted patio
#

Literally the only way to "soup up" a PC for mining is a GPu in an extremely expensive market

#

Processor, ram, motherboard, drive all have no effect on mining

fair birch
#

yeah]

#

i saw a video and the guy had liek 5 3080s and he enthusiastically said that you can be making 50 dollars a day with that setup

hollow grail
#

just stop burning money on something you know nothing about

#

youll just end up with less money

muted patio
fair birch
#

yeah

#

and they can break

#

not to mention the electricity bill

hollow grail
#

and no knowledge

muted patio
#

I mean, that's a bit harsh

#

But

hollow grail
#

not rly

muted patio
#

Mining on those GPU's is kind of a waste of effort

hollow grail
#

if ur dropping hundreds of dollars into a hobby

muted patio
#

Long term coin isn't a good investment

hollow grail
#

you should probably know the basics about the hobby

muted patio
#

Sell the PC's and invest in stock if you want long term.

hollow grail
#

^^

wanton cliff
#

Eth will go back up

#

Raven is mineable tho too

muted patio
#

Mining is only good right now if you can mine a lot of coin and sell it

@muted patio

uncut pelican
#

@wicked frigate the parts avalible in the shuffle change around

#

Or you could say

#

They shuffle

wicked frigate
#

So I can’t enter 2

times with different parts

#

@uncut pelican

uncut pelican
#

You can pick all of the items or three or none

wicked frigate
#

Ohh unpicked 4

#

I picked 1

#

I meant 4

#

Wait is it ok if I picked 4 @uncut pelican

#

Wait I entered again

#

Will anything happen

uncut pelican
#

Yes

wicked frigate
#

What

#

Will happen

#

Please tell me

prime plover
#

Can I enter for all of the 3060's and then only pay for one if I win multiple?

#

That would be fun lol

@muted patio am I allowed to enter for all the 3060's but only buy one if I win multiple? someone else would win the others so I don't see why it would hurt anyone.

@muted patio ye

your question would be better directed at the actual staff on the server/a support ticket

prime plover

I trust vintage. if he says its illegal i won't do it.

muted patio
#

IDK anything about the shuffle other than it exists

prime plover
#

oh ok

#

@fresh garden could I enter the shuffle for multiple 3060's? If I won multiple somehow, would I be able to pass of any extra for another winner? I don't want to hoard cards, but I want to increase my chances of winning.

not likely

plug it in and check boot order

i recently am wanting to build a pc, what would be good for 600$ im new to all this pc stuff so i dont really know what to do

thats a hard budget

lemme see what I can do

you are comfortable with building it, of course?

covert venture

i mean im not going to build it i dont have any idea on what to do but my dads friend said he'd do it for me

wanton cliff
#

you could build it yourself easily. I would have someone there for guidance tho

small osprey
#

building it isnt really that hard

#

tbh

#

and for $600 its probably gonna be an igpu build these days lol

#

unless you can find a good deal for a 570 or smth

covert venture

yea but i really dont know what to do and im scared if i do something wrong and i break some parts...

you can watch online vidoes, or get someone from here to help you

bc the gpus nowadays are really expensive

is there any way you could save up a little more?

$600 is very hard

doable, but hard

small osprey

and put in a $60 570

where can i find prices for ram that hasnt technically been released yet?

what RAM?

#

if its DDR5 you cant even use it so why bother

sharp tundra
wanton cliff
#

thats been released

sharp tundra
#

i see no prices anywhere

wanton cliff
#

but try and get Crucial Ballistix, it might be in stock on Wegg or Amazon

wanton cliff
sharp tundra
#

i dont want crucial, i want g skill

wanton cliff
#

...why?

sharp tundra
#

looks better for the rest of my build

wanton cliff
#

i mean

#

i like performance and having things in stock rather than it looking good

#

you know that it has RGB too, right?

sharp tundra
#

4000cl15 is good performance???

#

not just about the rgb

#

the design of the ram is what i want it for

wanton cliff
#

that RAM is likely b-die

#

id have to look at timings tho

#

just to make sure

sharp tundra
#

15-16-16-36

wanton cliff
#

plus Ballistix is usually cheaper

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

from 4000mhz cl15 i can immediately assume its b die

wanton cliff
#

always best to make sure

sharp tundra
#

i think this ram is around $450 msrp

#

i found a couple websites

small osprey
#

sounds about right for rgb bdie ram with those stock timings

sharp tundra
#

none are consistent though

wanton cliff
#

you chose a gronsk motherboard

sharp tundra
#

yup

wanton cliff

and a gronsk video card

#

oh crap

#

you are the guy who was shilling for this generation's worst cooling

#

nah

#

im not helping you

#

peace

small osprey
#

no cpu cooler?

#

what kinda build is that

sharp tundra
#

ek water cooling

wanton cliff
#

dont talk to him, ssenti

small osprey
#

get a 5900x at least

#

smh

#

and stick two 3090s in there

wanton cliff
#

ssentii

#

shush

small osprey
#

might aswell get 4 sabrent rockets too

#

and a ax1600i bc why not

sharp tundra
#

@wanton cliff dont be upset cause i can afford a machine like this😘

small osprey
#

why do you need such expensive mobo and ram

sharp tundra
#

why not?

small osprey
#

bc its with a 5800x

sharp tundra
#

10G networking on mobo

small osprey
#

do you need that

#

no

#

you dont

sharp tundra
#

does anyone actually need it?

#

no

#

its called a luxury

#

thats why people spend their money on it

small osprey
#

then why not buy a threadripper

you dont game on those

why not game on tr

more cores = speed

sharp tundra

no? more speed = more speed

yea

and tr

wanton cliff
#

5900x best gaming cpu

small osprey

has more speed

best single and multi core

@wanton cliff also i never see any techies complaining about gigabytes bad cooling, whats up with that, huh? i showed this build to 2 of them yesterday, not a word about the cooling

wanton cliff
#

the techies are the ones that alerted me to the bad cooling

#

and the reason you never see them are because they deliberately choose not to message when they are around you

#

i would know, im good friends with a lot of them

sharp tundra
#

i showed it to MR111 and Vintageracer79

wanton cliff
#

also the reason they rarely complain about it is because they actively avoid gigabyte products. I dont quite have that luxury in the case of my GPU

sharp tundra
#

but they would still need to be knowledgeable about gigabyte products right?

desert gulch
#

heres a techie rn

cursive wharf
#

also depends on mood of techie. General just causes a not so nice mood when you criticize a build

desert gulch
#

yeah general was going crazy last night

sharp tundra
#

and ill tell you again, i scoured the web looking for people erviewing bad cooling on gigabyte cards, and didnt even find a reddit post about it

cursive wharf
#

Before stopping being so active before, I also stopped critiquing builds already built a bit before cuz they took offense to it

wanton cliff
#

so, Hei

#

whats your opinion on gigabyte's cooling?

#

as a techie, who's opinions is valued more than a person who actually has gigabyte products (unfortuantely)

cursive wharf
#

honestly havent look at many 3080 reviews, and only really memorized PCBs or PCB issues (mainly EVGA)

#

heard of a few things, but havent looked into it

#

I just dislike giga PCBs cuz they are custom PCBs for no reason

#

(then again, so are 80% of Ampere PCBs)

sharp tundra
#

i quite litterally looked up, "Gigabyte GPU cooling problems", and nothing

cursive wharf
#

Well, 2060KO had bad cooling but that was usually ignored cuz cut down 2080

#

I usually recommended it to only those needing the special things, otherwise would tell people not to get it

#

I dont think anyone else really said anything about that

sharp tundra
#

and even if gigabyte 3080 cards had badd cooling, im not using stock cooler anyways. im actually getting the waterforce

desert gulch
#

you def arent looking hard

#

i legit looking up gigabyte 3080 bad cooling

#

and found a bunch

#

theres a bunch more sources too @sharp tundra

wanton cliff
#

LTT forums are a great place to start

desert gulch
#

mhmm

#

idk how he didnt find any sources if he actually looked it up

sharp tundra
#

thats the same problem someone else had with their GPU, and it wasnt even a gigabyte card, claiming 102C was "Normal"

wanton cliff
desert gulch
#

mhmm

wanton cliff
#

from Zantomako on LTT forums

#

damn ghosting on this kb

sharp tundra
#

seems like thats a Vision OC issue

#

not an Aorus xtreme issue

wanton cliff
#

Aorus thermal solutions are the exact same as gigabyte's own cards but ok

#

im trying to save you from a downright bad purchase

cursive wharf
#

AORUS Xtreme is custom blocked

sharp tundra
#

like i said, im getting the Waterforce anyways, so it doesnt really matter

wanton cliff
cursive wharf
#

tho, tbf I'd go strix with liquid cooling rather then gigabyte

wanton cliff
#

agreed

#

that EKWB is damn good from what i heard

cursive wharf
#

Eh, I'd not go ek

wanton cliff
#

the 6900 XT one from asus looks nice and performs well too

sharp tundra
desert gulch
#

liquid cooling complicated

cursive wharf
#

Heatkiller, Aqua Computer, Optimus for premium brands
Byksyki/Barrow for cheap

desert gulch
#

mhmm

sharp tundra
#

i probably gonna do Ek, but thats because they have the distroplate i want

cursive wharf
#

I'd search around, bykski/barrow has a couple nice distroplates

#

lot of EK stuff isnt really worth it

wanton cliff
#

their 240mms are good, according to Vintage

cursive wharf
#

AIOs? They arent bad for looks

wanton cliff
#

i know we were just talking about GPU waterblocks and such but yeah, their 240mm AIOs

#

idk about 280s or 360s

sharp tundra
cursive wharf
#

yeah you may need to go ek then for distro. But most of the loop I wouldnt really go ek

sharp tundra
#

but would i run into any alignment issues if i mixed EK with anoth brand?

#

or fitment issues

cursive wharf
#

no, fittings are standardized. There are only a few sizes

#

think like three standard sizes

sharp tundra
#

is it EKs rads that make them less than par?

Gotcha, thanks

#

I guess all I had to do was complain here, my package just arrived

cursive wharf
# sharp tundra well Hei said they were Mediocre, so im trying to figure what makes them mediocr...

performance. The temps you get on a CPU/GPU with ek stuff is meh in comparison to other competitors. Also, Aqua Computer has nice things such as software for temp monitoring/system fan control (which becomes nicer to control rad fans from CPU or GPU temps). Also EKs GPU blocks are kinda dumb in the aspect of the standoffs. They use a whack tooling (oval drive) which most dont have at home and is semi easy to come off the block and get stuck on the GPU PCB. Thus you either buy a new tool for no reason or use pliers and potentially damage the PCB.

I have a question: what’s better, AMD 5 3600 6 core atx, or an i5-10600k. Graphics is ASUS TUF-Gaming 1650 series. Fan is normal AC 120W. Right now I’m rocking an i3. So either way is an upgrade for me.

wanton cliff
#

10600k easy

dawn cosmos
#

Yeah? I am trying to see if the parts are all compatible and right now it is showing that the amd would only work if I get a ASUS prime X570. The 10600 works but I’d have to get a smaller motherboard. Can’t see what it’s telling me though.

wanton cliff
#

get a Z490 or something

sharp tundra
dawn cosmos
#

I built it the first time, but yeah this is the first time I’ve had to do some major upgrades with it

wanton cliff
#

if you already own the Prime X570, get a 5600x

sharp tundra
#

what they said

dawn cosmos
#

I don’t have the prime. That’s the only motherboard compatible with my PC now except for the processor. Which is telling me to go with an AMD ryzen 5 and not the 10600

sharp tundra
#

so you have an AMD CPU right now?

wanton cliff
dawn cosmos
#

No I’ve got an i3-10320 or something like that.

wanton cliff
#

oh

dawn cosmos
#

It’s really needing some upgrades

sharp tundra
#

oh, so are you looking to upgrade both CPU and MOBO?
