#

I need to change this

sharp tundra
#

dude, go tf to bed

thorny tusk
#

thank you

muted patio
#

Instead of 3600, should be Intel 10400F, more FPS in games and cheaper

#

B560 MB

little osprey
#

Thanks for making this. I guess the main thing for is me is that I’m pretty dead set on the ultrawide monitor. It’s got a 1ms refresh rate and is 200hz

#

So it’s 300

#

What would be the most logical thing to downgrade?

muted patio
#

CPU and MB to intel

sharp tundra
#

what games do you plan on playing?

muted patio
#

10400F and B560 get more FPS than Ryzen 3600

little osprey
#

Valorant, Minecraft, overwatch, maybe warzone on low settings

muted patio
#

Save you $50 right there

sharp tundra
#

cause i can guarantee that 200hz is not gonna be necessary for a lot of games

muted patio
#

Segotep GPP is $72 also, there's another $27 in savings

little osprey
#

Wait is that Kingston sad good? I could lower the piece of mine

wanton cliff
sharp tundra
#

kingston is good yes

wanton cliff
#

Better

#

The A400 actually sucks but ok

sharp tundra
#

dude

wanton cliff
#

Hmm?

sharp tundra
#

his budget is 1200

wanton cliff
#

Ok so I’ll tune it down a bit

#

Yours was only $50 less than mine

sharp tundra
#

tf you think im doing?

still roostBOT
#
NomadHorizon#8013 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

muted patio
#

PCPP has B560, NOICE!

wanton cliff
#

Yep

#

Don’t have to keep adding custom parts

muted patio
#

That PSU is overkill though

wanton cliff
#

The AMP?

muted patio
#

ye

#

only a 3060

wanton cliff
#

Makes sense

#

3060Ti*

sharp tundra
#

literally go to bed

muted patio
#

Segotep isn't in PCPP though so it's a pain

wanton cliff
#

Not while you are here

sharp tundra
#

since youre 36hours sleep deprived

wanton cliff
#

That I am

#

I’m going for a streak now

sharp tundra
#

mhm, sure

wanton cliff
#

See how bad I can screw myself up

little osprey
#

How badly would the A400 mess with performance?

wanton cliff
#

It’s slow, a pain to install in comparison, and gets beat in every way by the P31 including longevity

#

I made a parts list for you, check your pings

#

It’s significantly better than his

sharp tundra
#

dude, you literally went 140 over budget

wanton cliff
#

You went $90

#

In comparison to total budget, it’s really not too much

sharp tundra
#

and i told him if it was too much over, i could cut somethings

wanton cliff
#

I can always bring it down with a Mushkin drive and a B-tier PSU

sharp tundra
#

versus you who just went all out

wanton cliff
#

Tell me: do you see him saying to bring price down?

little osprey
#

Bring price down

wanton cliff
wanton cliff
sharp tundra
#

he literally told me before you stepped in to bring price down

brittle tinsel
muted patio
#

yes

brittle tinsel
#

Could one of you tell me if it’s single or multi rail? Please

#

It sucks trying to find out on mobile

muted patio
#

Single

brittle tinsel
#

Sweet thanks

little osprey
#

I’m dead set on my monitor tho

muted patio
#

$1200 with that monitor is really tight

sharp tundra
#

Honestly, you dont need that $300 monitor for those games

#

i promise you

muted patio
#

Like, gonna lose storage tight

sharp tundra
#

you wont even get 200fps in some of those games with a 3060ti

little osprey
#

So in theory, if I get a good gpu at original price from Best Buy (and wake up early and stuff) and managed to get my hands on a Best Buy graphics card, I could be able to afford it

muted patio
#

200 hz 1080 starts to lean on the CPU more than the GPU also

sharp tundra
little osprey
#

When do monitors go on sale

desert gulch
#

Depends

wanton cliff
sharp tundra
#

yes

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

y'all quit

desert gulch
#

Sara

wanton cliff
#

Ryan

desert gulch
#

Why 3600 c16 for 10400

#

3200 c16 fine for 10400f imo

wanton cliff
#

Because you recommend bad parts when better alternatives exist

muted patio
#

I ain't putting up with that from either one of you

cursive wharf
#

Intel also benefits from RAM to a decent extent

desert gulch
#

Yeah

muted patio
#

BOTH OF YOU stop

wanton cliff
desert gulch
#

But for a budget wouldnt 3200 be better?

wanton cliff
#

Plus it’s only $5 more expensive

muted patio
#

Go around the word filter one more time.

wanton cliff
#

Kek

desert gulch
#

I think silicon power has some good stuff

#

Mr1 seems to like it for budget stuff

muted patio
#

Help or be quiet

wanton cliff
#

S’far as RAM goes?

#

Lemme see

desert gulch
#

Yeah silicon power 3200 c16 is like 73 bucks

#

Or sumthin

#

Seems decent enough

sharp tundra
#

i dont need sara up my arse telling me what all needs to be fixed all the time

desert gulch
#

Bruh

#

Stop avoiding filter

wanton cliff
#

Yeah naw

muted patio
desert gulch
#

Mhmm

wanton cliff
#

It’s only a couple bucks cheaper at most

cursive wharf
#

doesnt really help the $100 that needs to be brought down for the 1.2k budget tho. Unless like $700 budget I'd go 3600c16

muted patio
#

hard to do for under $1000

muted patio
wanton cliff
#

3200mhz is only a few bucks cheaper

muted patio
#

Pulls ahead of the 3600 even with C16

wanton cliff
#

No point

desert gulch
#

Vintage where's the ssd?

muted patio
#

Dood neds to be 1200

#

with a 300 monitor

desert gulch
#

Oh

cursive wharf
#

I know, still go Intel, but with 3600c16

muted patio
#

Won't give the monitor up

desert gulch
#

Ok

muted patio
desert gulch
#

Hes wants 1440 144 I'm guessing?

muted patio
#

1080p 200hz

sharp tundra
#

he wants a 1080 1ms 200hz

#

ultrawide

muted patio
#

Completely unecessary

desert gulch
#

Ahh a 32 inch?

cursive wharf
#

It'd help with high refreshrate a bit tbf

sharp tundra
#

thats what i told him

muted patio
#

Should be $200 monitor, leave room for storage

desert gulch
#

Yeah

#

1080 144 hz more than enough imo

muted patio
#

1080P 165hz more than enough

desert gulch
#

Yeah I've looked at my friends 1080 240hz

sharp tundra
#

the most demanding game hes gonna be playing is maybe valorant and warzone

desert gulch
#

I can't tell a difference from my 1080p 144

#

Tbh

wanton cliff
desert gulch
#

Valorant isn't demanding at all

wanton cliff
#

‘Might as well’, you know?

desert gulch
#

Warzone is a bit if you crank up settings

muted patio
#

There are no 11th gen benchmarks out either

wanton cliff
#

I’m just saying, not saying I’m right or wrong

sharp tundra
wanton cliff
#

You and Hei are usually the authorities here

desert gulch
#

Yeah

muted patio
#

may as well get a 3070 then for future proofing there too

wanton cliff
#

That’s different

desert gulch
#

On my card I can do ultra 1080 144 hz easy

cursive wharf
#

I mean, Intel can still benefit from upto 10% from 3200c16 to 4000c15 I think it is. Not like there isnt perf to be bad on CPU/mem limited games

desert gulch
#

I have to lock it to 144

#

And 3060ti is a bit better than my card

wanton cliff
#

A 3070 is $100 more and barely delivers more performance than a 3060Ti

desert gulch
#

Yeah

muted patio
#

Y'all argue this out, I'ma go vacuum my house

wanton cliff
#

Alright

#

Have fun, I guess?

desert gulch
#

Vintage we want to argue with you tho

sharp tundra
#

in the list i gave him, it had a 1440p 4ms ips, for far less than that monitor he wanted

cursive wharf
#

Enjoy thy vacuuming

wanton cliff
#

I’m not trying to argue, just play devil’s advocate

desert gulch
#

Va-coom-ing

wanton cliff
cursive wharf
#

what 200Hz UW is even $300 tho?

desert gulch
#

Yeah I'd rather go 1080 higher refresh rate

#

Idk

wanton cliff
#

Same

desert gulch
#

Maybe lg ultragear

wanton cliff
#

I should change that

desert gulch
#

Those are expensive

wanton cliff
sharp tundra
desert gulch
#

Why not 165

wanton cliff
#

24”, 144hz, 1080p

#

$210

desert gulch
#

It's honestly not that much of difference

#

And is way cheaper

wanton cliff
#

Then edit the list

#

You have that ability you know

desert gulch
#

Nah I'm not talking to you

wanton cliff
#

If I made an actual mistake, feel free to correct me

sharp tundra
#

i assume he thinks the 200hz would help, which it would, but youre then defeating the purpose with UW

desert gulch
#

It rly doesnt

#

There was a vid made on it

#

By like ltt I think

#

With shroud

#

And really only way they could tell the 144 and 240 apart was high speed camera iirc

sharp tundra
#

well i assume he wants to be better at fps games, UW just makes your eyes wonder to far from the center of your screen to make it beneficial

cursive wharf
#

Dont feel like checking each retailer to see if there is one option, but none on pcpp

desert gulch
#

Yeah

wanton cliff
desert gulch
#

Ik

#

But still

#

I can't even see the difference

#

Side by side

wanton cliff
#

It does yield some actual results but most are muddied by bad experimentation practices

desert gulch
#

On my friends 144 and 240 mounted next to each other

#

I literally couldn't tell the difference

sharp tundra
#

shroud even said he could barely tell the difference in 240 and 120hz

desert gulch
#

Mhmm

cursive wharf
#

idk, I would only like for cuz then I dont have to deal with gsync issues that can happen. Screen tearing is so small cuz high Hz at that point

sharp tundra
#

but almost everyone could tell the difference in 60 120hz

#

obviously

wanton cliff
#

60 to 120/144 is a big difference

#

After that?

sharp tundra
#

barely any

wanton cliff
#

Most severe case of diminishing return I’ve seen

#

Ban

#

@ripe osprey or something

#

Spammer

sharp tundra
#

@little osprey Hey, all of us here dont think you need that 200hz ultrawide monitor, especially when there is better. Any way youre able to give it up?

wanton cliff
#

Also UWs generally suck for anything that isn’t coding

cursive wharf
#

Also, where the heck did you find a $300 200HZ UW

cursive wharf
wanton cliff
#

Especially gaming IMO, although thats a matter of opinion

cursive wharf
#

UW gaming is nice, fills peripheral vision

sharp tundra
#

UW ig are good for RPGs or very atmospheric games

#

but for FPS, not needed

wanton cliff
# cursive wharf Also I disagree

This one I will say is very opinion based. I and most of the people I know (with a select few exceptions) hate using UWs for gaming

#

And that applies to any game

cursive wharf
#

idk, any people I know like UW gaming

wanton cliff
#

This is, as I said, a big matter of opinion

sharp tundra
#

i dont like UW gaming either, only game i would ever consider it on would be Elite Dangerous

#

or maybe racing sims

wanton cliff
#

And maybe No Man’s Sky as well

#

Possibly Rocket League

#

Although I’ve never actually played Rocket League in UW mode

sharp tundra
#

but thats only because those games benefit from having big screens

wanton cliff
#

From being able to see everything

#

And at that point?

sharp tundra
#

exactly

wanton cliff
#

Get a Quest 2

#

Both those games are VR compatible

#

Better FOV anyways

#

Arguably more fun experience, as long as you don’t get motion sick

sharp tundra
#

literally 360 fov

wanton cliff
#

Lmao

sharp tundra
#

i want to start playing elite with VR, and HOTAS

#

be the best experience ever

wanton cliff
#

HOTAS?

#

Also NMS in VR is amazing

sharp tundra
#

Hands on throttle and stick

wanton cliff
#

Especially if you have a living ship

#

Omfg

#

So crazy and weird and beautiful

#

Nomad, do you have NMS?

sharp tundra
#

i used to play on xbox

wanton cliff
#

Got game pass?

sharp tundra
#

yeah

wanton cliff
#

Download it

sharp tundra
#

well, i think

wanton cliff
#

Saves sync

#

You download it, you have your Xbox save

#

I’ll make you Rick

#

Rich*

#

It’s only 10 gigs btw

gleaming quartz
#

hey guys

wanton cliff
#

Yeah

gleaming quartz
#

its been a while since ive talked here

wanton cliff
#

Ok

sharp tundra
#

yeah, i just have to see if i still have GP

wanton cliff
#

Game Pass App for W10 is cringe

#

Use MS store

sharp tundra
#

i kinda went like 2 months with no money, and had a lot of subscriptions cancel

gleaming quartz
#

what do you think vive is planning with their teaser on twitter? @wanton cliff

wanton cliff
#

Idk

#

Didn’t see

#

Mind linking it?

gleaming quartz
#

sure

#

lemme find it

wanton cliff
#

Tbh

#

Either that or they and Valve are planning something big

#

Probably something to do with brain interfaces

gleaming quartz
#

true true

#

i thought valve said they werent gonna do anything with that until 2022 though?

wanton cliff
#

Idk what they’ve been saying

#

I’ve mostly been off social media lately

#

Last I heard they were releasing something this year

gleaming quartz
#

hmm... thats intresting

#

im hyped

wanton cliff
#

Same

#

Maybe vive will release something that will completely blow the Index out of the water

#

Or maybe it’s just second generation trackers, which would still be cool

#

I’ve been waiting for a cheaper alternative to vive trackers for a while

sharp tundra
wanton cliff
#

Hmmm

sharp tundra
#

oops, no psu

wanton cliff
#

There are a few things I would change but I want to hear your reasoning behind some of those parts first

#

Also I want to keep this conversation civil

sharp tundra
#

i definitely know there is some things i could change, but i kinda decided i wanted an all corsair build

wanton cliff
#

All Corsair?

#

Odd company choice but I’ll allow it

sharp tundra
#

like i know the cooler, ram, and ssd could be better, but the cooler is only temporary, and im im getting a waterblocked mp600 pro 2tb

wanton cliff
#

TFW long hair stabs eye

#

Waterblocked MP600?

#

Interesting choice

sharp tundra
#

yes

#

i figured if i was gonna water cool everything else, why not water cool the ssd too

#

but the ram, i have no excuse for, i just wanted dominator

wanton cliff
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

At least get some faster Dominator RGB

ancient wraith
#

@potent portal my in game keybinds for my steam games reset i am so confused

wanton cliff
#

Don’t expect to be able to OC too well either

sharp tundra
#

but then i gotta have like 20cl

ancient wraith
#

after i did all the commands you told me too yesterday

wanton cliff
#

It happens

ancient wraith
#

so thats normal and not related too my issue

potent portal
wanton cliff
#

Steam may have been corrupted

#

Sometimes a scan on Steam games from the client itself (that being Steam) resets preferences to be safe

#

Idk what would have triggered Steam to do that but it has happened before

sharp tundra
#

@wanton cliff you wanna see the build i was gonna do before i decided to change it?

wanton cliff
#

Not completely unusual

wanton cliff
#

Fair warning

sharp tundra
#

like before my $5k one

#

be prepared lol

ancient wraith
#

so should i be worried

wanton cliff
#

If it’s all gigabyte you may just cure me of my muteness

#

Also, rq

#

Wtf is up with this weird ass proprietary mini-DP lookin thing

#

It somehow does power, video, and other info via USB all to the Index at once

small osprey
#

hand reveal

wanton cliff
#

I’ve done hand reveal before, Ssenti

small osprey
potent portal
#

Is that the one for the rift?

sharp tundra
#

alright, you ready?

gusty pasture
#

why are you buying a 400$ nvme?

sharp tundra
#

not actual list

gusty pasture
#

oh

sharp tundra
#

its before i realised i actually wanted a good pc

gusty pasture
#

oh

#

u fixing the listy?

sharp tundra
#

that list was from long ago

gusty pasture
#

oh

#

all aorus???

ancient wraith
#

so guys anything i should do

gusty pasture
#

@ancient wraith whaaaa?

sharp tundra
#

yeah, i love aorus, but then i decided that i didnt love them that much

gusty pasture
#

i still do

potent portal
ancient wraith
#

no

gusty pasture
#

what?

sharp tundra
#

i show you want my previous build was gonna before my newest one

gusty pasture
#

ok

potent portal
#

Then it's fine and probably just steam resetting like Sara said

gusty pasture
sharp tundra
#

i have to remake it, hold on

gusty pasture
#

ok

sharp tundra
#

uh oh

wanton cliff
#

Taking your setup apart and putting it back together is somewhat therapeutic

#

Oh lord it is all gigabyte

#

As long as you aren’t actually buying it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

gusty pasture
#

its his old list

potent portal
#

Agreed. I've been wanting to take mine apart and improve my cable management in the back panel just for fun.

gusty pasture
#

were all so bored y not?

wanton cliff
#

Want to see my cable management?

gusty pasture
#

sure

wanton cliff
#

You may have an aneurysm

gusty pasture
#

mines garbage

wanton cliff
#

Be warned

gusty pasture
#

ok

wanton cliff
gusty pasture
wanton cliff
#

I want no comments

potent portal
#

Hey that looks like my desk, how'd you get a picture of my desk?

gusty pasture
#

lol

wanton cliff
#

Heh

gusty pasture
#

OOF

wanton cliff
gusty pasture
#

naw

potent portal
#

Scratch that your desk looks way better than mine

ancient wraith
#

can i show you guys my setup

sharp tundra
wanton cliff
#

Left side is dad’s side, right side/corner is mine

sharp tundra
#

this one was getting a full EK loop and the gpu was gonna be the Aorus xtreme waterforce

gusty pasture
#

@sharp tundra nice

wanton cliff
#

Were you addressing me?

gusty pasture
#

srry didnt read caption

sharp tundra
#

i may still do that build

cursive wharf
sharp tundra
#

@cursive wharf yeah, im sorry

gusty pasture
#

y u downgradin g to r5?

wanton cliff
#

Money constraints probs

sharp tundra
#

i may do a 5800x

#

just havent decided

potent portal
#

5600X isn't really a downgrade for games

gusty pasture
#

also dont get corsair sp120 fans

wanton cliff
#

5800x is in regular stock now btw

gusty pasture
#

way overpriced

wanton cliff
#

For everyone that didn’t know

sharp tundra
#

its a full corsair pc, and those fans are pretty dang good

little osprey
sharp tundra
#

60cfm with like 25db

wanton cliff
#

Oh my is right

cursive wharf
#

not really, Corsair fans arent that amazing tbf

wanton cliff
#

I need to get some zip ties or something

cursive wharf
#

Go GentleTyphoon or smth

gusty pasture
sharp tundra
#

i am well aware of there being better fans, its just i want those ones

gusty pasture
#

oh

cursive wharf
#

You could get a 5600x/3080 custom looped for cheaper tho

sharp tundra
#

hmm?

gusty pasture
#

That corsair rams a rip off tho

sharp tundra
#

i know

gusty pasture
#

32 GB FOR 450 US!!!!

#

get like trident z or something

wanton cliff
#

Ballistix

gusty pasture
#

that 2

sharp tundra
#

this build isnt the best, i know that, its why im still considering the previous build

gusty pasture
#

no offence, but thats a huge waste of money

wanton cliff
#

I have absolutely no idea where tf I put my power cable

gusty pasture
#

oof

wanton cliff
#

Now I can’t power my PC

#

Wtf

gusty pasture
#

lol

#

how do u misplae it

wanton cliff
#

I have no idea

sharp tundra
#

welp, no more NMS for you

gusty pasture
#

?

wanton cliff
#

Wait, found it

gusty pasture
#

lol

sharp tundra
#

ah

wanton cliff
#

It was behind the P-GM box

#

Kek

gusty pasture
#

lol

sharp tundra
#

pgm...?

wanton cliff
#

My brain is square and I am often confused

wanton cliff
gusty pasture
#

LMAO

sharp tundra
#

oh i know

#

i just didnt think you would even have one cause you hate giga

wanton cliff
#

It was bundled with the GPU that I had no choice but to get, or risk waiting another month without a GPU

potent portal
#

I'd buy one just to put it in a load tester and watch it go boom

sharp tundra
#

well

#

you better hope the psu doent explode before you can get another

gusty pasture
#

lol

#

Quick delete the message before vintage comes

cursive wharf
potent portal
#

Nah I'm good, maybe once I have a backyard and not an apartment that doesn't like exploding things

wanton cliff
#

Heh

#

Alright

gusty pasture
#

@cursive wharf read the compatability issue

sharp tundra
#

better be careful with those hypothetical sells

cursive wharf
#

and I have no issues

sharp tundra
#

i got in trouble for doing that with Awesome

gusty pasture
#

LOL

wanton cliff
#

Macgyver something with a buzz saw or whatever

#

Ez

sharp tundra
#

i wish my 4000d was a 5000d so i could just go with that all corsair buils already

cursive wharf
#

I'd just get a 3090 build instead of corsair stuff tbf

full atlas
#

1st coat

sharp tundra
#

but i dont need a 3090

potent portal
#

If clearance was in issue with those kinds of glass side panels you could get spacers

sharp tundra
#

way overkill for anything i ever plan on doing

cursive wharf
#

So would be the art piece of all corsair PC, you look at it a few times but that's it. Dont see how that's worth losing a fair bit of extra performance

sharp tundra
#

hey, its the same reason i also want a raptor eye sti, itll make me feel good that i have some eye candy

cursive wharf
#

I mean, isnt a decent 3090 build nicer eye candy? Got better bragging rights

sharp tundra
#

yeah, but if i was getting a 3090, i would want the aorus xtreme 3090 waterforce

#

and thats an EXPENSIVE card

cursive wharf
#

I mean, okay 3090 + bykski/barrow block doesnt look that bad for much cheaper

sharp tundra
#

maybe, but its what i would want

cursive wharf
#

CAD

#

after 13% taxes too

blazing aurora
#

ah

#

my bad

sharp tundra
#

okay let me make the build where i think i could get the most performance and still be someone what i want as far as looks go

blazing aurora
cursive wharf
#

bit above msrp basically

sharp tundra
#

cause im a very aesthetics guy, if id doesnt look cool, i really dont want it. and that goes for a lot of things, not just my PCs

#

like cars, guns, furniture, houses, etc

#

i guess what you could say is, i have an expensive taste

#

but i also dont buy stuff that i dont think ill need

desert gulch
#

well isnt that the whole point of aesthetics? You dont need the rgb fans, but you get them for the looks...

sharp tundra
#

well yes, if i was on a tight budget, i would definitely go for max performance, minimal aesthetics, but im not, so i go with whatever i think looks nice

austere vale
#

I told myself I'd never buy into the rgb thing. Then the case I got came with three rgb fans.. then I had to match the rest or it would weird.. it grew on me lol

sharp tundra
#

now i absolutley could go buy a $8k computer, but i dont have a need or desire for something like that

austere vale
sharp tundra
#

yeah, like i could go buy a 3090 if i really wanted one, but i dont really want one, so much it could do that i myself would never use

desert gulch
#

yeah fact is for gaming 3080 and 3090 are near identical

#

3090 only worth it if you need it for rendering and want best of the best for gaming and workstation combined

austere vale
#

Yeah. I'm only going as high as 1440p the 3070 should serve me well enough on the gaming front

uncut pelican
#

I have a 3070

#

But 1080p monitor lol

gusty abyss
#

it's dangerous

austere vale
#

I just went with a 3700x for now and yeah that has the wraith prism. I get it haha.

#

@uncut pelican I have the exact same build as you. Stil just on 1080p but the intention is 1440 once I get around to getting the monitor.

Quick question. My GPU had one 1 hdmi port and 3 display ports. I want to hook up another monitor. What would be the best option. HDMI to DP converter or just a DP cable ?

desert gulch
#

Use a dp cable if you can

#

If monitor is dp use dp

#

I like to keep my hdmi port open in case I get a monitor that is hdmi

sharp tundra
#

i have one and i hate looking at it, even tho i love rgb

desert gulch
#

It's worse than a stealth in looks imo

sharp tundra
#

honestly, its big and ugly

desert gulch
#

Just like theo

sharp tundra
#

decent cooling, but its not eye candy

desert gulch
#

Mhmm

#

Prolly cheao to make tho

#

And that's what matters

sharp tundra
#

yeah, if ur on a budget, itll work

desert gulch
#

Hyper 212 looks so nice

#

Black edition is the best

sharp tundra
#

crucial ballistix rgb and g.skill trident z rgb 😍

desert gulch
#

Lol

#

Trident z royal best ram

worn wave
#

Hyper 212 is bad for the price compared to other coolers that exist

desert gulch
#

Yeah

sharp tundra
#

god no

desert gulch
#

I bought mine for 30 bycks

gusty abyss
#

the cooler master software for the wraith prism can do some neat effects

sharp tundra
#

oh wait, hyper 212 is a cooler

#

im dumb

#

some reason i thought you started talking about HyperX ram

austere vale
#

I like it. But then las time I built a pc was 13+ years ago before this one. So it's all new and shiny to me

sharp tundra
#

oh, nvm, you just built a new one

austere vale
#

Oh injust recently built a new desktop

#

Yeah lol

#

3700x, rtx 3070, 2 x 16gb 3600mhz ram, 980 pro 1tv nvme. It works for me

sharp tundra
#

13 years without an upgrade tho?

austere vale
#

I went laptop only due to life and work reasons

wanton cliff
#

So?

sharp tundra
#

did you have the original macintosh or something?

wanton cliff
#

A good high end computer can last 13 years no problem, even if it isn’t a gaming computer

little osprey
#

So how drastically do coolers affect speed

worn wave
#

What

wanton cliff
sharp tundra
#

thats ages ago in pc world is what im saying

wanton cliff
#

A low end cooler will thermal throttle

worn wave
#

You mean how does thermals affect CPU speed?

wanton cliff
#

Anything that cools semi decent won’t

austere vale
#

A desktop didn't make sense for a long time but now work and life is different and working from home for over a year I thought time to build one

wanton cliff
#

Simple as that

sharp tundra
#

@little osprey did you decide not to go with that sub par $300 monitor?

little osprey
#

I’m still in an Ish Dillema as I call it

#

Maybe I could get my parents to pay for it

sharp tundra
#

cause dude, im telling you there is way better

#

for much cheaper too

#

Ultra wide is gonna be terrible for those FPS games you wanna play

#

and youll never even see those 200hz

little osprey
#

Hm

#

So would I have to up the graphics card to make it worth it

wanton cliff
#

No

sharp tundra
#

no

#

just dont get that monitor

wanton cliff
#

Ultra wide monitors suck for games, especially FPS games

worn wave
#

Most professional gamers use normal smaller monitors actually who play FPS games

wanton cliff
#

27” is sweet spot IMO

sharp tundra
#

get yourself a 27" 1440p 4ms IPS 75hz monitor

#

or even 120hz

worn wave
#

120hz better for FPS

sharp tundra
#

cause past that, its almost not worth it

worn wave
#

Depending on the GPU

wanton cliff
little osprey
#

I found a 144hz one for 201

sharp tundra
worn wave
#

Which model and whats the specs of it

little osprey
#

Wait but I would shave to get a good graphics card that would let me run 1440p tho right?

worn wave
#

What GPU were you looking at originally?

sharp tundra
#

i gave him a FE 3060ti on his list

wanton cliff
#

Which will run any game at 1440p just fine, barring Cyberpunk

#

Cyberpunk will maintain around 40 FPS at medium default

sharp tundra
#

cause cyberpunk crappy game

wanton cliff
#

*poorly optimized and buggy

#

It itself is a good game

sharp tundra
#

crappy*

wanton cliff
#

It just has some... problems

#

I do agree that the bugs and poor optimization takes away from the experience quite a bit

#

But so far, ignoring all that, I’ve had quite a bit of fun with the game

#

More so than most games actually

little osprey
#

How about valorant

#

Like about how much FPS will that card

wanton cliff
#

Valorant can run on a potato with a battery attached to it

little osprey
#

What about the 1660 super?

wanton cliff
#

Lmao

little osprey
#

Like the ASUS Tuf OC

wanton cliff
#

Impossible to get for less than $500

#

We know what we are talking about

little osprey
#

But if I got lucky on Best Buy

worn wave
#

No lmao

little osprey
#

I know they restock at alright prices

wanton cliff
#

They aren’t sold at MSRP anymore

worn wave
#

they dont go in stock at MSRP at all

wanton cliff
#

They aren’t manufactured anymore

little osprey
wanton cliff
#

Only ones are on second hand market for $500

#

Or more

sharp tundra
#

@little osprey please just trust us, a 3060ti is gonna be better than a 1660super

wanton cliff
#

In every way

#

Except for power consumption

sharp tundra
wanton cliff
#

Lmao

#

No card under 3000 series is manufactured anymore

#

Excepting the 2060 and 1050Ti

#

But even those are scalped

muted patio
#

Those are only rumored to have gone back into production

wanton cliff
#

Ah shucks, really?

#

Thought I read an Nvidia blogpost or something

sharp tundra
#

if he wants a 1660super that bad ill just give him mine

wanton cliff
#

Well, that just reinforces my point

worn wave
#

If they are back into production most likely only for OEM systems perhaps

wanton cliff
#

Unlikely

#

Nvidia is mostly making them for the sake of having display adapters afaik

sharp tundra
#

i just dont understand why dude thinks a 1660super is gonna be better for him than a 3060ti

#

its cheaper, performs better

#

like what is there to argue about

wanton cliff
#

And is in stock sometimes

sharp tundra
#

yes

#

like the 1660super is good, but its not THAT good

wanton cliff
#

Would be the perfect card for Nvidia to manufacture tbh

balmy patio
#

^

sharp tundra
#

it really would, but i mean with the 3060ti out, really no need to anymore

balmy patio
#

everyone wants a 1660s if they can't buy anything better

sharp tundra
#

its the new budget card

balmy patio
#

i mean

#

1660s is like ~200 iirc

muted patio
#

used to be lol

balmy patio
#

well

worn wave
#

NZXT had refurb 1660 Supers for $180 a little while ago

wanton cliff

Heh

sharp tundra
#

bruh, why are products just straight up removed from pcpp, then readded

wanton cliff
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Wdym

#

No prices?

sharp tundra
#

no, like 5000d is just not here anymore

wanton cliff
#

Oh

little osprey
#

Uh

wanton cliff
#

Yeah that was weird

little osprey
#

Stock?

#

Ive seen things disappear when no stock

sharp tundra
#

well even if theyre out of stock they stick around dont they?

wanton cliff
#

I looked up the P400a on there earlier and all that came up was NZXT cases

#

Oh hey, real quick

little osprey
#

Ive seen some stay and some go

#

Both can happen

#

Or pcpp is having a stroke

sharp tundra
#

probably both

wanton cliff
#

Both of you, make a new list. Don’t add a CPU, just a board. B560 Pro4. Click the first one that says it is $99

#

Then check RAM compatibilty

stoic island
#

Uh it's there?

little osprey
#

Also maybe wrong form factor?

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff ye it lists 4866 and 4800 only iirc

#

Its just dumb

severe axle
wanton cliff
#

There was a 5100 one too

sharp tundra
#

its just not here for me

little osprey
#

If you pick eatx for 5000d it wont show up

sharp tundra
#

no filters

stoic island
#

Does 5000d support eatx?

#

Never saw review

sharp tundra
#

yeah

severe axle
#

if you have stuff in list then it will filter some things out

little osprey
#

Eatx is tr

sharp tundra
#

hangs over gromits just a little tho

little osprey
#

Iirc

sharp tundra
little osprey
#

Corsair rma was pretty great

little osprey
#

Its eatx

stoic island
#

Wegg says yes

little osprey
#

Like extra or whatever the e means

stoic island
#

Extended iirc

sharp tundra
#

so not just TRX boards is what im saying

little osprey
#

Well probably xeons also

#

But idrc any x570 board having eatx

stoic island
#

Pretty sure there's eatx lga1200 boards

little osprey
#

Even godlike is atx

sharp tundra
#

i mean there is AM4 and LGA boards that are EATX

little osprey
#

Maybe intel exists

quasi snow
#

Isn't the evga z490 eatx

little osprey
sharp tundra
#

like Hero, Xtreme, both EATX,

quasi snow
#

Yeah Evga Dark is

sharp tundra
#

well i think Hero is EATX

stoic island
#

Dark boards are usually eatx so the z490 dark was probably eatx

little osprey
#

Corsair rma good

#

Got my case back, says the mb is in montana

stoic island
#

@little osprey x570 godlike, x570 aqua, x570 aorus extreme, x570 creation, all EATX

little osprey
#

Ah oops remembering wronf

#

Wrong

#

Ahhhhhh

sharp tundra
#

bruh, 5000d just doesnt exist anymore for meBored

little osprey
#

Oof

#

Was debating buying a 5000d

sharp tundra
#

i kinda want one now that ive seen it

#

and seen a few builds in it

little osprey
#

Would be nice for more aio compat, side fan mounts and a magetic tray compared to 4000d

#

Atleast corsair rma wasnt trash

sharp tundra
#

i have the 4000d, and i like it, i just want something else

little osprey
#

Actually a really good rma

sharp tundra
#

and its either gonna be a 5000d or a o11d Xl

little osprey
#

Tbh 5000d

#

O11D unless like insane water cooled

sharp tundra
#

well i am gonna be water cooling,

little osprey
#

Tbh 5000d airflow could work fine for an air cool builded

sharp tundra
#

could work fine for both

little osprey
#

Its not that trash airflow with the front grill

#

O11d looks like a case with meh/ok airflow

#

Not amazing.

#

Not super terrible

sharp tundra
#

that case all depends on how you place your fans

small osprey
#

if your getting an o11d, its for the looks

#

and for an excuse to buy 9 ll120s

little osprey
#

Can tell you one thing, sure is better than h510

#

Kek

potent portal
#

A milk crate is better than h510

little osprey
#

Dont understand why you can mount intake on h510

sharp tundra
#

510 is purely for looks

little osprey
#

Lmfao

small osprey
#

milk crate has airflow

sharp tundra
#

you dont buy it cause you think its a good case

small osprey
#

h510 doesnt

little osprey
#

H510 can mount fans where there is a glass intake panel

small osprey
#

lmao

little osprey
#

Dont known if the designers were on crack

#

Or what

potent portal
#

There's "vents" on the side that are supposed to allow air to go in but it's not nearly enough space

little osprey
#

Intake fans covered by glass lul

#

Those vents

#

Ahhh

#

Just like when you have a car with close windows on a sunny day

#

I have my windows rolled down a 1/100 of a cm

sharp tundra

i think NZXT has prebuilts with 3080s and 5600x inside of them

#

i laughed

little osprey
#

Kek

#

Im sure my 212 keeps my cpu cooler than the 510 kek

sharp tundra
#

lets talk about that awesome H1 tho

little osprey

LL120 and QL120 are both different fans

sharp tundra
#

hes saying that he should have said QL

#

but yeah, you buy unifans if youre getting a o11d

#

no other way

worn wave
#

QL120 is ugly imo

#

Then again I like stock Noctuas

sharp tundra
#

🤮

severe axle
#

better than ll for rgb though

sharp tundra
#

noctuas ugly

severe axle
#

which is what you would be getting for an o11

sharp tundra
#

like cmon, they the best in the industry, and dont make a single rgb fan

#

thats just a missed opportunity

severe axle
#

rgb means less fan

sharp tundra
#

doesnt mean they cant have an rgb line tho

#

like im not saying stop making their fans

#

just start making rgb ones

worn wave

I love the look of their Puke fans

Would love to see the deal on that after a year

potent portal

They get to show off the top models and write them off as a loss on taxes, then sell it for nearly full price. Wins all around for the company.

That is >300 in ram
