just some features that are niche

#

get b550-f/aorus elite ax v2

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

btw

little osprey Mar 15, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

whichever looks better in your opinion

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

I've never seen this company that makes the fets for the b550-e

#

Monolithic power

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

little osprey whichever looks better in your opinion

but b550-f and b550-e looks the same

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

MP86992-C787

little osprey Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

Because most of the features that are different are inside the pcb/back ports

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

we've heard of the SiC654/651 that's on aorus elite ax and pg velocita but

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

warm swift but b550-f and b550-e looks the same

if you want to save a few dollars buy the b550f

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

long name

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

i mean @little osprey @stoic island do you think that the B550-E would be useful to me?

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

No

#

it would not

little osprey Mar 15, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

Not at all

#

esp if you're only turning on PBO

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

I never considered it better than b550-f for builds from the start xD

#

out of curiosity, lemme look at companies that makes fets

little osprey Mar 15, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

never would recommend it to anybody unless they want overclocking, most people who want overclocking know what they need at that point

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

ofc

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

i would overclock but if its something useful but idk how to even overclock thats the thing so idk what to overclock exactly

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

It's just

#

telling stuff to run faster, whether or not the parts were built to run faster

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

is that what people do with CPU's?

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

there's an explanation pinned in #overclocking , but kinda yea

#

well, less explanation, but more starter guide

#

same thing

#

:P

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:18 PM

overclocking is scary

desert scarab Mar 15, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

yoooo

#

i need help folks

#

If i download windows to my usb for my new build from my laptop

#

will it get rid of the windows on my laptop?

wanton cliff Mar 15, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

no?

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

stoic island there's an explanation pinned in <#610602203849162772> , but kinda yea

thank you but for me like, im a person building this pc for the first time, so is there anything to overclock other than that PBO?

wanton cliff Mar 15, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

why would it

desert scarab Mar 15, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

idk just curious

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

youll be just fine

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

Yes

balmy patio Mar 15, 2021, 9:20 PM

#

desert scarab If i download windows to my usb for my new build from my laptop

it just creates a tool to install it, not take windows away or sum like that

#

you'll need much more than 8gb to do that

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:20 PM

#

@warm swift PBO is the safer auto-oc

#

most of 'actual' OCing is manually editing settings in bios

celest horizon Mar 15, 2021, 9:20 PM

#

It's not like the chip is slow 100% stock

#

PBO is always an option once you have the system built

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

is there a possibility that PBO is leaving some performance on the table versus manual OC

celest horizon Mar 15, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

Not unless you're benching for hwbot or something

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

and PBO is cpu only correct?

celest horizon Mar 15, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

yes

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

stoic island <@!559580672227016714> PBO is the safer auto-oc

alright well, when i build that pc, can you help me out a bit with what i should overclock and what i should not

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

Well. If you just want it to work, overclocking gives you nothing but trouble for troubleshooting imo, XMP is the only "overclocking" I would suggest everyone to do. PBO is a bit weird, I haven't looked far enough into it

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

is there any auto oc for gpu's?

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

eh, MSI Afterburner has an auto-OC

celest horizon Mar 15, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

Modern nvidia cards already boost based on temps/power limit

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:23 PM

i dont really want to overclock, but like i want to do something that would be safe or it would help out my pc a bit

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

Yea, boosting is technically automatically OCing

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

celest horizon Modern nvidia cards already boost based on temps/power limit

So better temps = better performance

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

@warm swift Here's the thing, I'll give you a number to think about, at best, maybe 3% benefit from OCing with a good PC.

celest horizon Mar 15, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

Yep, it'll auto-oc itself down to -40c

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

stoic island <@!559580672227016714> Here's the thing, I'll give you a number to think about, ...

thats pretty low

#

dang

celest horizon Mar 15, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

3% sounds a bit low, but I'd say pbo vs stock is still single digit gains most of the time

warm swift Mar 15, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

so your saying im really fine with just not overclocking anything yeah? @stoic island

stoic island Mar 15, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

Yes

#

@celest horizon eh, I consider pbo just as good boosting (boosting under good cooling), so I don't consider it to be that much of a help, I also haven't really looked into pbo

#

but you really really can get away with not overclocking, other than enabling XMP, XMP is good

not really

austere wagon Mar 15, 2021, 9:41 PM

I’m just speaking in an upgrade ability sense

wanton cliff Mar 15, 2021, 9:41 PM

but not necessary

Not everybody has the need for 32

The average consumer

austere wagon Mar 15, 2021, 9:42 PM

I mean 16 is becoming the minimum now though

orchid charm Mar 15, 2021, 9:42 PM

Yeah nothing lower

#

In my opinion

celest horizon Mar 15, 2021, 9:42 PM

#

2 ranks/channel will give a performance boost at the same clocks/timings

2x16 is a good option if you have the budget

My brother already streams and games on it, but just plays Minecraft and rocket league, but when he tries to stream COD war zone or GTA V it doesn’t work well.

that cpu cooler is insufficient for the i7-10700 with removed power limits

True, true

Towers have less failure points

EK-AIO 240 D-RGB All-in-One Watercooler Review

EK looks to continue the onslaught against their competitors with the EK-AIO 240 D-RGB. Offering performance similar to its larger 360 mm sibling, it proves to be a better value for mainstream systems without sacrificing performance or looks.

#

Basic is just without RGB so it should be about the same as the RGB one

In some cases it's actually better

stoic island I kind of ignore rgb fans

i understand but im getting a lian li case so you know i want the stuff in my pc to look good, can i have pc and without any rgb in it and still make it look good? yes, but i prefer the look of RGB

stoic island Mar 16, 2021, 12:03 PM

#

rgb never comes on top in terms of performance, and I pay attention to the top end in performance

#

it's not bad, but it's not the best

#

:P

warm swift Mar 16, 2021, 12:03 PM

#

yes ofcourse

#

you are spitting some facts

#

but i guess i cant really have the best best you know?

Any opinions on pre-builts? Im kinda leaning towards the idea of something showing up and me not having to mess with anything - just plug it in and press the power button.

Best way to get a gpu atm tbh too, nothing wrong with a good prebuilt, there's just some that are overpriced, they just usually aren't easy to upgrade because of some propriety products if it's from an oem

nova spruce Mar 16, 2021, 1:29 PM

#

im looking at 2500 for a r9 5900x, gigabyte x470 mobo, 6800xt, 16gb 3200mhz ram, and suitable psu, case, cooler, etc.. sound decent?

#

ofc....all gpus are on backorder

#

unless you win shuffle

blazing aurora Mar 16, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

not really

#

2.5k is a lot for that

#

oh did you mean in a prebuilt or a regular build?

nova spruce Mar 16, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

prebuilt

blazing aurora Mar 16, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

ah okay

#

yeah 2.5k is a lot for those specs

Good morning everyone. Totally new when it comes to computers. I use my work issued one for most things. It is not good enough to run diablo 2 resurrected. It’s going to be the main game I play. Would it be better to build a pc or get a gaming laptop. Trying to spend $1000 or less if possible.

blazing aurora Mar 16, 2021, 1:35 PM

#

especially considering prebuilts often cheap out on core components

nova spruce Mar 16, 2021, 1:35 PM

i mean- if i could click faster tha a bot and even get anything - gpu or cpu, itd be a different conversation

if you value portability, get a laptop. otherwise, get a pc

#

for $1000 you could go with either one (for diablo) and not be disappointed, iirc diablo isn't a super intense game

don't overspend because of the current situation
