[halcyon swallow]

Yee ryzen 3

[brittle tinsel]

I could get a 1650 but it’s $432

That’s a bit steep for that card

[wary burrow]

Dont

[halcyon swallow]

Naah

[wary burrow]

Rip-off

[brittle tinsel]

I don’t want to but if these parts come and my gpu is dead I have no choice, I need to get back to work

[halcyon swallow]

I hate ppl who oversell gpu’s it really annoys me

[wary burrow]

On Evga the 1650 super come n goes out of sale for 185$

Stock*

[halcyon swallow]

Like wtfff

[halcyon swallow]

[halcyon swallow]

I’m only packing a radeon hd 7850 2gb

[wary burrow]

Will I’m packing no gpu rn

[stuck grove]

you guys program stuff im guessing right? Im new to programming im using C++

[halcyon swallow]

Hecc naw lol I dont

[brittle tinsel]

Is 1650 super all that much better compared to 1060 3gb, how much vram does 1650 super have?

[lyric thistle]

1060 3GB isn't that great

[brittle tinsel]

Quite a bit, yes. C-sharp

[lyric thistle]

1650 Super is much better

[brittle tinsel]

I’ve used one for 4 years lol

It’s not that bad

[halcyon swallow]

Like 4

[lyric thistle]

1060 3GB is compared to 1050 Ti

[halcyon swallow]

What about a 980ti

Ive been looking for one for a while

[wary burrow]

I’m looking for a 2060 or a 1660 super but I can’t find any I been looking for months now

[halcyon swallow]

You might find one if you keep looking hopefully not for $1000+

[wary burrow]

That’s impossible

[brittle tinsel]

What’s the dif between GeForce and titan cards?

[wary burrow]

What the my name is yellow now

Oh I leveled up

[brittle tinsel]

It’s light green

You have been active a bit

[wary burrow]

Same thing

[halcyon swallow]

Haha

[wary burrow]

Me n neo both “light green”

[halcyon swallow]

Idk I think one has more kuda corez than the other

Light green gang

[brittle tinsel]

Never mind, titan card is 2500 msrp

[scenic turret]

Titan has always been expensive

[wary burrow]

Yeah

[scenic turret]

Orientated as a workstation/machine learning card

[wary burrow]

Titan is kinda expensive

[scenic turret]

It's my favorite looking cards

[brittle tinsel]

Yeah, I literally can’t find any decent cards for an affordable price, rip

[halcyon swallow]

It rly be like that tho

[wary burrow]

U won’t stop trying

Is eBay a thing?

For gpu?

[halcyon swallow]

Yea but careful what you look for tho

[wary burrow]

Too shady for me

[halcyon swallow]

Yea like this is a scam

No way someone would sell that low

[scenic turret]

It's a scam

Don't fall for it

[halcyon swallow]

Yee

[wary burrow]

I might buy something from the ocean n it never gets to land so eBay is to shady for me

[jagged ember]

It's not if you have buyer protection

[scenic turret]

Ok true but y go through the hassle

[jagged ember]

And GN did a video telling you how to check for damaged gpus

You will if you're short on money

[scenic turret]

$92 could just be a piece of paper 😂

[jagged ember]

It'd be the box

Without the packaging

[halcyon swallow]

^

[jagged ember]

Just the box

[wary burrow]

Neo ur phone almost died

[halcyon swallow]

Ughh I hate those ppl

[scenic turret]

Free shipping - paper

[wary burrow]

Who doesn’t

[halcyon swallow]

Haha uhh ya

[wary burrow]

Lmao

[jagged ember]

Nah you gotta pay that shipping too

[halcyon swallow]

Tax

[wary burrow]

Shipping be like 100$

[scenic turret]

Alright time to sell GPU boxes I guess

[lyric thistle]

Sort by only in your country, sort by buy only, sort by price low to high, then sift through the results for a decent priced card sold by a reputable seller

[jagged ember]

Additionally with buyer protection

[halcyon swallow]

You have any gpu laying around?

[jagged ember]

Because you get your money back using that

[scenic turret]

Currently my spare gpu is a 1070

[lyric thistle]

Nice

[scenic turret]

Which I plan for my sister's itx build

[halcyon swallow]

Faaaaaakkk!!!

Lucky

[wary burrow]

Dumb ur sister wants to game

Damn

[scenic turret]

I mean I did purchase 8 30 series GPU in total now

[brittle tinsel]

Wtf

Why?

[halcyon swallow]

Hooww

Lmao

[wary burrow]

Lucky

[brittle tinsel]

^

[wary burrow]

Y tho

[scenic turret]

Canadian stock is easier

I buy and resell at MSRP + tax

[wary burrow]

I’m catching a flight to Canada tmmr

[brittle tinsel]

So your losing money!

?*

[scenic turret]

It started out as buying 3 cards for me and my friends

[halcyon swallow]

Bruh

[scenic turret]

Then I started buying more for more people

^

Sometimes I get cakes/treats as "payment"

Yep

[wary burrow]

Yeah u not making much

[halcyon swallow]

How much you sell one for

[wary burrow]

Sell for like a bit more but not 1000$

[halcyon swallow]

Haha

[scenic turret]

It sucked though, one guy who I sold a 3060ti ended up reselling on the market at scalped prices. Should of done more of a background check on him

[halcyon swallow]

I’d give more than cookies and some cake

[scenic turret]

Profits are worthless when you have integrity

[halcyon swallow]

Who would buy a $500 gpu for $1000+

[wary burrow]

U ain’t making nothing from it useless

[brittle tinsel]

Dumbass’s that’s who

[wary burrow]

At this point no matter what you do gpu prices won’t drop

[halcyon swallow]

I’m scared

[wary burrow]

Think everyone is

[scenic turret]

It's funny to see a few miners sell their whole build after crypto crashes

Worst one I've seen was 20 3070s and another one with 15 3060tis

[halcyon swallow]

Tisk tisk tisk

[scenic turret]

I expect to see more in July with ETH 2.0

[wary burrow]

Miners gotta go bro

[halcyon swallow]

Ik

[wary burrow]

Lokey anyone gettin into building a pc rn worst thing ever

[brittle tinsel]

$750 for 2070 8gb good price or nah?

[wary burrow]

Nah

[halcyon swallow]

Y-kinda

[wary burrow]

I wouldn’t say

That card goes for around 400$ y pay double

750 can get u a 30 series card

Yeah dude

[halcyon swallow]

That’s so rare tho

[brittle tinsel]

Damn what about a 2080 what is msrp for that?

[wary burrow]

Nah more like around 550$

[brittle tinsel]

This dude is selling for 900 f that

[wary burrow]

Nah

If u wanna spend 1000$ u can get a 3080 from

[scenic turret]

Honestly keep searching, sometimes you can find something actually priced properly

[wary burrow]

Rare dude

[scenic turret]

Also if you live by a microcenter, check weekly

[wary burrow]

I wish

I don’t know y Florida don’t got MC but Georgia does

[scenic turret]

Also keep applying into Newegg shuffle, it's not impossible. We had a few winners on this server.

[lyric thistle]

If I can find a good used market deal then so can you :)

[scenic turret]

^

designs a bot to find something every min given key words ~ literally my friend last October

[brittle tinsel]

$350 and $400 are a bit much for 1650 right?

[scenic turret]

Definitely

[lyric thistle]

1650 should be 150 bucks

[brittle tinsel]

What about 1650 super $200 is msrp right?

[balmy patio]

no i don’t think so

it’s gotta be less than that

[brittle tinsel]

How isn’t the super better than 1650

[balmy patio]

or it went down in value and sold for cheap afterwards

[balmy patio]

the super is better bruh

[brittle tinsel]

That’s what I said, I was wondering why you said it would be cheaper

[balmy patio]

istg i’ve seen them on retail for $160 or so

damn

and this whole demand thing came out of nowhere too

one day you’re paying 330 for a 5600xt

this whole thing started in november iirc

[scenic turret]

Oop, literally saved yourself without knowing the future

[balmy patio]

holidays made it worse too bruh

[brittle tinsel]

Only thing I’m finding is $350 for 1650 super, I may talk him down to $250-$300 since he already dropped price from $450

[balmy patio]

bruh

is that some guy selling it used or sum

[brittle tinsel]

It says new and has buyer protection

[balmy patio]

link?

[wary burrow]

$250 for 1650 super nah bra

[lyric thistle]

200 is okay

[brittle tinsel]

I’ll pass on this one it’s a local Facebook buy sell and trade

[balmy patio]

oh fb

if you can bring your system for testing, it’s fine

try to get him to sell it <$250 tho

[brittle tinsel]

He wants to meet at local pd I don’t think you can play video games in a pd lol

[balmy patio]

you can connect it

there’s most likely outlets on the outer walls bruh

most likely a pd parking lot

[lyric thistle]

Mm yes yes

[balmy patio]

bring sum generic monitor and a system you can run benchmarks on

ez pz

[lyric thistle]

Gaming in front of the police chief

Big flex

[balmy patio]

lol

[brittle tinsel]

I wonder if he would trade it for 3 rx 570s

Long story

[balmy patio]

why 3?

just keep the 570’s

[brittle tinsel]

For what? They are add

Adds

Ass never buying amd gpus again

[lyric thistle]

570s are decent

[balmy patio]

yeah

[lyric thistle]

Not amazing but decent

[brittle tinsel]

Can’t even watch YouTube at more than 2 FPS

[balmy patio]

huh?

[lyric thistle]

Lol

Probably reject cards

[balmy patio]

that should be a gpu problem

[lyric thistle]

You got the scam

[balmy patio]

shouldn’t

[lyric thistle]

Maybe they're actually GTS 450s

[balmy patio]

bruh i can run 4k yt vids on my macbook air

it’s not the gpu, or you got scammed, as mr maniac said

[lyric thistle]

My GT 730 can probably play 4k YouTube

I wonder

I wish I had my pc with me

[balmy patio]

it won’t output it

[brittle tinsel]

Idk then

[balmy patio]

but it’ll prolly play it

[balmy patio]

double check that they’re rx570’s

open the thing up if you’re willing to

[brittle tinsel]

Gigabyte rx 570

Has the metal back plate and all

[balmy patio]

run a benchmark if you can

[lyric thistle]

It can probably output actual 4k

[balmy patio]

and compare it with sum guy who ran the same ones with the same you

[lyric thistle]

Doesn't need gpu power to drive a monitor resolution

[balmy patio]

the 570 can def do that, and i thought only the 1030 and above were able to output 4k?

[desert gulch]

nah

[brittle tinsel]

There in a box, we got 1060 3gb to replace em

[desert gulch]

a 710 can output 4k

4k 30 but still 4k

[brittle tinsel]

This was like a week before the gpu surge in prices

[balmy patio]

ohhh, got it wrong then, so 1030 and above can output 4k60, right?

[balmy patio]

take em out and test them

[brittle tinsel]

It’s not a big deal bro

Everyone is asleep including the kids and I don’t wanna wake everyone up at 3am to test gpus that we don’t use

[desert gulch]

idk, no need for 4k 60 for most stuff imo

[balmy patio]

true

[desert gulch]

since you aint playing games with it

theres an asus 710 i think

[balmy patio]

understandable

[desert gulch]

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-Graphics-Single-Slot-Passive/dp/B08DS13LLZ/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=asus+710&qid=1616048951&sr=8-2

heres one

4k 30 on 4 ports

[balmy patio]

but tbh you’re better off with a 570 than paying 250 or so for a 1650

[balmy patio]

gonna start recommending that for people who need much screens tbh

710 has never failed in doing so

[desert gulch]

mhmm

100 is a bit much for one imo

but thats the only 710 i know of that can do 4 ports

[halcyon swallow]

980ti ?

[desert gulch]

no

710

[halcyon swallow]

Or 980

[balmy patio]

710

[desert gulch]

710

[halcyon swallow]

Oh is that good

[balmy patio]

no

well

[desert gulch]

for multiple monitors

not for games

[balmy patio]

only for screens

[halcyon swallow]

Oh

[balmy patio]

980ti is still a decent card nowadays tbh

[desert gulch]

ig

[lyric thistle]

9xx is still pretty good

Esp 970 and up

[halcyon swallow]

Yee I want one so bad

[desert gulch]

for gaming?

[halcyon swallow]

Vr

[jagged ember]

970 isn't gonna do vr

[desert gulch]

yeah

[jagged ember]

1660 or 580 and up will iirc

[halcyon swallow]

No 980 tiiii

[desert gulch]

nope

i still would go higher

[jagged ember]

Correct me if I am wrong

[halcyon swallow]

Waat I seen ltt play vr on a 980

[lyric thistle]

What's nvidias official vr ready list

[jagged ember]

But I think that's bare minimum

[halcyon swallow]

Hmm

[brittle tinsel]

Anyone ever use the shop app when online ordering? How accurate is it?

[halcyon swallow]

Tf is that ?

[brittle tinsel]

It says some of my parts are expected tomorrow but fedex says it’s still in Maryland, I’m in florida

[desert gulch]

also software in 10 series and up is way better for vr

[lyric thistle]

It says somewhere in GeForce experience what GPUs support vr

[desert gulch]

pascal and up is reccomended

[brittle tinsel]

It’s an app, it shows the exact gps location or so it seems, doesn’t seem too accurate

[halcyon swallow]

Wtf never heard of it I just use PayPal or Apple Pay or my debt card

[brittle tinsel]

Oh also this is the wire from my psu that surged or something.

[brittle tinsel]

I used my credit card, this app is used to track all purchases associated with your email

[halcyon swallow]

Ohhhhhh

[desert gulch]

cant you track that thru your bank?

[halcyon swallow]

^

[desert gulch]

i do

[brittle tinsel]

Track shipping?

Tf

[desert gulch]

no

[halcyon swallow]

Payments

[desert gulch]

just purchases made

[scenic turret]

Direct Bank tracking is alot more safer

[desert gulch]

mhmm

[halcyon swallow]

Yap

[brittle tinsel]

Yeah but this app shows a gps location on where the package is

[desert gulch]

i dont like 3rd party crap associated with my bank

[desert gulch]

track a package thru ups or usps maybe?

[halcyon swallow]

Mines just shows this

[desert gulch]

if you check email you should get a tracking number

[brittle tinsel]

According to shop, the package is in sparrow point Maryland, and says it will be here tomorrow and fedex says scheduled for Friday

[desert gulch]

i can do that by using the tracking number im given

without 3rd party crap in my bank

[scenic turret]

Watch them just hold the package for a day

[halcyon swallow]

Yee I’m waiting for it rn

[brittle tinsel]

This doesn’t link to any payment info at all

[desert gulch]

bruh

[desert gulch]

.

[brittle tinsel]

You just use the email that you use for purchases,

[desert gulch]

so it has access to ur email?

[brittle tinsel]

My credit card email and email that I use for purchase are different

[desert gulch]

whos it made by

[brittle tinsel]

It knows what my email is yes, has access to it, no

Shopify inc

[halcyon swallow]

Bruh

[brittle tinsel]

When I bought my chair it said I could track it with the app so I did

[halcyon swallow]

Why not the tracking number

[desert gulch]

this review is thinking the same thing im thinking

[brittle tinsel]

I wanted to see which was accurate and so far shop if a wee bit faster than fedex

[halcyon swallow]

[brittle tinsel]

What’s that?

[halcyon swallow]

It’s best if you just use the tracking number imo

The package locations

[brittle tinsel]

I don’t get any of that with fedex or ups

[halcyon swallow]

Oh

That weird

[jagged ember]

You should

I get that for every online order I make

[brittle tinsel]

Nope, I have to look up every single tracking number

Shop puts em all in one place for me

[jagged ember]

Through your email

[halcyon swallow]

^

[jagged ember]

It's the same step basically

But you're adding another middleman to do it for you

[halcyon swallow]

Seem sus 😳

[brittle tinsel]

I guess

[jagged ember]

I wouldn't use an app to do that for me personally

[brittle tinsel]

Oh and fair warning don’t buy from gtracing they have been nothing but a pain in my ass

[jagged ember]

Giving payment info to the seller is enough for me lol

[halcyon swallow]

Haha

[stuck yarrow]

can someone justify the rtx 3090 for me

[brittle tinsel]

Nope

[jagged ember]

Nah

[brittle tinsel]

Not at all

[jagged ember]

3080

[stuck yarrow]

is it really that bad

[jagged ember]

If you want max performance to price

[desert gulch]

this tbh

[brittle tinsel]

Not really just not worth it

[pure flame]

you want to get high 3dmark score? get it

[halcyon swallow]

This is my first time useing the newegg service so hopefully it will go smoothly

[stuck yarrow]

3080 is selling at 16k in my country

[jagged ember]

But if you've got older hardware amd will treat you better

[stuck yarrow]

the only card at msrp is the rtx 3090 thats why im asking

[brittle tinsel]

Then a 3090 may hit a million

[halcyon swallow]

Amd drivers are poopie dookie cheeks

[jagged ember]

Talking at msrp lol

[balmy patio]

workstation card branded as gamer cuz it can play @ 8k60fps high settings

[jagged ember]

I have no clue what prices are like in other countries

[balmy patio]

eh not really anymore

[brittle tinsel]

Do we even have 8k monitors yet?

[jagged ember]

Yes

[balmy patio]

yeah

[jagged ember]

They're called tvs

[desert gulch]

or if they want something that can be a beast of a workstation card aswell as the best gaming card

[stuck yarrow]

aight imma give u guys a rough estimate of the 3000 series card,

[balmy patio]

well dell has an 8k monitor

[brittle tinsel]

Then it’s not a monitor dingus lmfao

[pure flame]

if budget is not a concern, i guess why not?

[stuck yarrow]

3060 4k 3060 ti 5k 3070 7k 3080 12-18k 3090 is at msrp 7.2k

[pure flame]

oh yeah 3090 is way cheaper than work station cards

[stuck yarrow]

except the HOF 3090 its at 10k atm

[balmy patio]

^

[jagged ember]

Eh

Tv is technically a monitor

[brittle tinsel]

What currency if you don’t mind me asking?

[desert gulch]

a 8000 quadro is like 8k bucks lol

[jagged ember]

Just a big one

[stuck yarrow]

malaysian ringgit

[jagged ember]

Wtf

[pure flame]

samsung CX 48 OLED 4k 144hz ez

[balmy patio]

is that the one with 48gb of vram?

[desert gulch]

prolly

[jagged ember]

Might as well go for the 3060ti

3090 will literally see no usage for gamers

That extra like 3k is not worth it

[stuck yarrow]

wait really? like none at all

[pure flame]

oh i can post pics here

[brittle tinsel]

The 3090 in your currency is equal to almost 2 k, that’s a bit over msrp

[balmy patio]

not at 4k and below

[pure flame]

i made this quick reference chart

[jagged ember]

Like what are you gonna do, play cyberpunk at 8k?

[balmy patio]

^

[jagged ember]

We usually play at 4k max anyways lol

[balmy patio]

8k tv is also big price

[jagged ember]

And if it's competitive go even lower

To 1080p

[pure flame]

i want to feel 360hz

[balmy patio]

1080p 360hz 😳

[stuck yarrow]

hmm

[jagged ember]

So getting a 3090 isn't a smart option considering al the xtra horsepower goes to waste

[stuck yarrow]

imma hold the gpu off atm

[jagged ember]

Yeah

[scenic turret]

3080 > 3090 for value

[jagged ember]

Maybe wait a bit

[stuck yarrow]

yeah but its 12-16k for me

[pure flame]

talking about gpu is hard without knowing the expectation

[stuck yarrow]

aighttt

how bout cpus ryzen 5 3600 (909) ryzen 7 3700x (1011) ryzen 5 5600x (1599)

[balmy patio]

if you can find the 3090 cheaper than the 3080, then go for it, but tbh if you don’t plan on gaming at high resolutions, settle for a 3060ti or 3070

[desert gulch]

10400f for gaming

[balmy patio]

how much are intel cpu’s

[stuck yarrow]

10400f are like 1.2k

[pure flame]

oh what

[desert gulch]

Oof

Go 3600

[balmy patio]

yee

[stuck yarrow]

10500 is 2k

[pure flame]

yikes

[scenic turret]

How can a 10500 be more expensive than a 5600x

[stuck yarrow]

10700f is 2.4-2.9k

[scenic turret]

Now that's a weird market

[stuck yarrow]

easy, intel is dominating in my country atm

[balmy patio]

shipping costs prolly

[jagged ember]

That market is so weird

[balmy patio]

who knows there are lots of factors

[jagged ember]

But hey, amd is the value option there

At least that's normal

[stuck yarrow]

yeahh, like the new amd gpus are floating at 8k here

so gpu no go atm

[jagged ember]

Sad

[balmy patio]

smh

[pure flame]

when $150 3600 again

[stuck yarrow]

hey the gtx 710 is at 200 so thats cool

[jagged ember]

O wow amazing

An actual card for cheap

[stuck yarrow]

and comes with a passive cooler

[jagged ember]

LOL

That's why

[balmy patio]

i mean

[brittle tinsel]

Found a 1080ti for $350 but it says this

[balmy patio]

when have you seen a 710 with a fan

[pure flame]

nuked vbios?

[stuck yarrow]

200 my currency is 50 usd

[pure flame]

hard to tell

[jagged ember]

You know what, fair

[balmy patio]

you can prolly use it for its gpu power, but not for game smh

[pure flame]

use it as a space heater/miner

[stuck yarrow]

lets not forget about the limited edtion rtx 3080 valhala suprim X selling for 18-20k

[balmy patio]

a 1080ti still holds relevant power even based on today’s standards

[brittle tinsel]

I mean it would be nice as an encoder but i don’t have a display at all

3900x

And need a gpu

[stuck yarrow]

and the rx 580 selling at 1.9k-2.1k

[pure flame]

so it's overpriced there too

[stuck yarrow]

can anyone justify this for me , im planning on streaming 1440p gaming and content creation

[pure flame]

do you use cpu to render?

[stuck yarrow]

yup a gtx 1080ti is selling at 3k atm

[balmy patio]

3700x then

you’ll benefit from the faster multi core speeds

[stuck yarrow]

idk yet havent looked into it, im just doing basic video editing on my laptop atm

[stuck yarrow]

okayy thank you ill try n ask more people it need a lot of opinions cause the price for a 5600x is not cutting it out for me

[pure flame]

3700x is surprisingly cheap relative to 3600

[scenic turret]

^

Always on sale

[pure flame]

and it has similar performance as 5600x in content creation

[scenic turret]

And relative stock

[pure flame]

eww i said 3600x

[balmy patio]

ew

[scenic turret]

Lol

[stuck yarrow]

yeah and i can give the stock cooler to my friend so added bonus there

[balmy patio]

yee

[scenic turret]

Oh that's right it's the prism cooler

[balmy patio]

a stock cooler that actually looks nice

[scenic turret]

RGB nice quality cooler

[balmy patio]

rgb smh

[stuck yarrow]

god im sorry for asking u guys a lot, i picked a bad year to build a pc

[balmy patio]

i dislike rgb

[stuck yarrow]

i have rgb but my case is blacked out lol

[pure flame]

prism looks very clean

[balmy patio]

too much software and cable smh

[scenic turret]

RGB = frames

Jkjkjk

[stuck yarrow]

rgb looks clean if u dont over do it imo

[scenic turret]

I only use light blue or pastel purple lighting at night for the mood

[jagged ember]

At night I'd use like orange

[stuck yarrow]

now to look for a table and vinyl wrap it

[jagged ember]

But most visible rgb I have is non addressable

[balmy patio]

smh

[scenic turret]

Non-addressable = less addicting

[jagged ember]

It came with the fans so

[scenic turret]

I swear I've seen people spend hours on ICUE

[stuck yarrow]

ill just set it to white

[jagged ember]

Not much to do there

[stuck yarrow]

cause the easiest and match my theme

[balmy patio]

icue is cool

if you have like a bunch of corsair products

[scenic turret]

Yea for sure

Fun fact, I don't own any corsair items

[pure flame]

corsair = corsair tax

[scenic turret]

Yee

[balmy patio]

sometimes

[scenic turret]

Also vengeance is not worth it

[balmy patio]

corsair ram is cool

[jagged ember]

It's never worth it

[balmy patio]

but either too tall or wonky dies

[jagged ember]

Dont enact vengeance

[pure flame]

unless it's bdie

[jagged ember]

That's ripjaws speak right there

[pure flame]

ram go brr

[balmy patio]

dominator platinums looks good tho tbh

[scenic turret]

Dominator is a different breed

[robust lake]

Their price too

[balmy patio]

true

but doesn’t corsair hand select the dies for them or sum?

[stuck yarrow]

corsair dominators are pleasing to look at, but prices no

[pure flame]

every brand kind of do that in specific lineups

[stuck yarrow]

i bought the cheapest ram i can find in the store 3 weeks ago

the trident z neo rgb, are those good

i made a lot of mistakes in terms of choosing parts

[scenic turret]

Yea they're usually b-die. Trident Z Neo are quality

[pure flame]

depends. if the product number ends in GTZNC

its not the good stuff

[stuck yarrow]

wait imma check

[scenic turret]

Ok that I didn't know

[jagged ember]

Turn off your pc first

Dear God

Please don't pull a kenzie

[pure flame]

i mean it's fine. it's just you're paying for expensive rgb

[stuck yarrow]

its not even functioning atm

its gtzn

[scenic turret]

Wait those are AMD optimized ram lol

[pure flame]

what are the timings?

[balmy patio]

tbh, since i’m not into ocing or anything, if the ram runs at rated speeds, it’s good enough

[stuck yarrow]

cl 18

[pure flame]

3600mhz i assume

[balmy patio]

3600cl18?

[jagged ember]

What speed

[stuck yarrow]

yeah im not ocing i just want a good pc cause been a console player the last 7 years

3600 cl 18

[scenic turret]

Oh so GTZNC has Hynix

[jagged ember]

Hm

It's fine

Woulda gone with cl16

[balmy patio]

true

[jagged ember]

But eh

[pure flame]

did they have ballistix overthere?

[balmy patio]

but it’s good if it was the cheapest kit

[stuck yarrow]

cl16 nah the store doesnt sell those

[jagged ember]

Ripp

[balmy patio]

smh

[jagged ember]

Ha kanye east

[scenic turret]

Ballistix stock issues worldwide it seems

[jagged ember]

I get the joke

[stuck yarrow]

they sell those but in the trident z royals one

[balmy patio]

lmao

[jagged ember]

Has a daughter named south

[stuck yarrow]

which is 1.2k for 2 sticks of ram that looks tacky

[balmy patio]

😳

[pure flame]

ebay(US) is where I shop ram

[balmy patio]

do yk how much that would be in usd?

[pure flame]

he said 200 there is 50 usd

[jagged ember]

300 bucks

[pure flame]

so $300 for 3600cl18 2x16gb?

[stuck yarrow]

300 usd

[jagged ember]

For 3600 I thought

[pure flame]

oof that's pricy

[balmy patio]

damn

[pure flame]

oh i mixed up

[stuck yarrow]

the 3600 is cheaper than ram

lmaoooo

[jagged ember]

That's not great

[scenic turret]

Yea rlly pricy still

[jagged ember]

Bad pricing even

300 hecking dollars for 3600 cl18

[pure flame]

$300 in US will get you the good IC

[jagged ember]

It is what you have though so no backsies now

[balmy patio]

2x16 rgb should be about 200 bucks for 3600cl16 smh

[scenic turret]

My ram is 3600mhz CL16 2*16 for $225 CAD or $182USD

[stuck yarrow]

and my ram costs 125 usd

3600 cl 18

[pure flame]

oh you said 1.2k

[stuck yarrow]

1.2k were the royals

[jagged ember]

Oh what you have isn't the royals

[stuck yarrow]

noooo

[balmy patio]

if it’s for 2x16 that’s a fat deal

[jagged ember]

Lol

[stuck yarrow]

just standad trident z neos

[jagged ember]

Good

[stuck yarrow]

oh wait really??

[balmy patio]

yee

[jagged ember]

It's pretty good ngl

[scenic turret]

Yea especially for Neos

[jagged ember]

I wish I got that

My 3200 cl16 cost about the same

[balmy patio]

i remember when 2x8 3200cl16 used to be $55 : (

now it’s like $80 bruh

[jagged ember]

Ikr

Like go die prices

[stuck yarrow]

waitt mine were the 2*8 version

is that a good deal still or nah

[balmy patio]

oh 😐 moment

[stuck yarrow]

im guessing nah

[scenic turret]

A little on the higher priced side

[balmy patio]

but it’s a different country so it’s understandable

[stuck yarrow]

yeahh, fair enough

those were the cheapest so i got them

[pure flame]

you're paying the regular price for trident z's

[scenic turret]

When Neos are the cheapest

[stuck yarrow]

the doms were a solid 1.4k

[stuck yarrow]

yeahh. they had value ram but for ddr3

kingston ones

[pure flame]

ddr5 before this year ends if intel is on time

[scenic turret]

Nah Neos are still a great choice

DDR5 is going to be hell expensive at release

[stuck yarrow]

pretty pissed i got the b550 tbh

[balmy patio]

b550 is alr tbh

[pure flame]

which one?

[stuck yarrow]

but then i asked the price for b450f strix, and they were like oh its 1.4k

b550 aorus elite

[balmy patio]

b450 smh

[pure flame]

that's a very good board

[balmy patio]

^

[pure flame]

you can overclock 5950x on it someday

when you get big

[scenic turret]

B450F Strix had some issues. You made the right choice for B550

[balmy patio]

yee

b550 is pog

[stuck yarrow]

i hate how mine doesnt have wifi built in and it was the cheapest board apart from the a320m and the wifi instantly gets an added 300-500 price increase

[balmy patio]

smh

[stuck yarrow]

wowww really

[balmy patio]

just get long snakey boi

[scenic turret]

Lol

[stuck yarrow]

i got like them coloured cables thingies

[scenic turret]

Or a pcie wifi card

[balmy patio]

^

usb wifi card if you’re desperate

[stuck yarrow]

probably gonna go with snakey boi

[scenic turret]

Yessss

[balmy patio]

let’s go

(dababy reference)

[scenic turret]

Snakey boi for the win

[stuck yarrow]

cause if i have a wifi card the ps4 is still gonna pull my bandwith

[balmy patio]

it’s gonna pull bandwidth either way

might be less interference tho

[stuck yarrow]

n i got the aorus ssd 500Gb for the same price as my ram

[scenic turret]

I need a 40ft snakey boi for my room (my house is designed weirdly since it's on a hill ~ has many floors)

[balmy patio]

smh

[balmy patio]

power line adapter is easier tbh

or whatever it’s called

[scenic turret]

I was thinking about it, but I'm moving out in a few months soo....not worth it (wifi card for now)

[balmy patio]

fair

[stuck yarrow]

it was a gen 4 ssd kinda wanted to get the samsung ones but they were selling them for the sweet sweet price of 125 usd for 256 gbs

[balmy patio]

how did you plan on running it lmao

[pure flame]

oh no

you overpaid

[balmy patio]

gen 4 ssd smh

[scenic turret]

Gen 4 $$$

[balmy patio]

unless they’re hoarding it with data

[jagged ember]

125 for 256 only is kinda oof

Ngl

[stuck yarrow]

no those were samsung ones

[jagged ember]

Yeah

[balmy patio]

*500

[jagged ember]

I know

[balmy patio]

oh bruh

cringe

[jagged ember]

There are better options out there

[scenic turret]

980 Pros are just expensive

[jagged ember]

Mp34, sn750

[stuck yarrow]

yeahh but again the aorus were the cheapest ones

[balmy patio]

fair

[pure flame]

damn they didn't have any other nvme?

[jagged ember]

Pilot e

[pure flame]

[stuck yarrow]

[jagged ember]

Stuff like that

Maybe sabrent rocket

[balmy patio]

xpg cringe

[stuck yarrow]

whats a good ssd i want to get a second nvme and im not overpaying this time

[stuck yarrow]

sabrent rockets could go for 1.8-2.4k here

[jagged ember]

Mp34 sn750 pilot e

[balmy patio]

[jagged ember]

[stuck yarrow]

all of these are at 1tb btw

[balmy patio]

list them cheapest first expensive last so i get a better idea

wait nvm you put the prices on them

tbh crucial p5 ain’t so bad being the cheapest one

[potent portal]

Didn't realize USB 4.0 came out already 😛

[balmy patio]

heard that it runs relatively hot tho

[stuck yarrow]

the crucial are the most expensive

[balmy patio]

i’m disappointed it’s not called usb 3.2^2x2 smh

[stuck yarrow]

my moms office pc exploded last week so theres that

[balmy patio]

is the price of the ssd listed before the product name or after?

[potent portal]

Right? Missed opportunity for more pointless naming

[stuck yarrow]

after sorry for not disclosing that

[balmy patio]

it’s ok

[stuck yarrow]

still cant believe that the biggest suppliers of gpu in my country gave in to selling their gpus to scalpers and miners before the normal crowd

[little osprey]

yeah gt710 got it 3 years ago how far back are you?

[stuck yarrow]

at this point im honestly surprise why im still building a pc lmao

[balmy patio]

aorus ssd it is tbh

[stuck yarrow]

aight thanksss

[balmy patio]

i mean you can always slap a 1650 in an optiplex and call it a day

[stuck yarrow]

oh those gpus are selling for a solid 2k minimum

[balmy patio]

smh

[stuck yarrow]

and considering theyre the first ones people would buy at a loss for the store

they stop carrying it

the only they have in stock are the 3000 series which u cant buy

u need to buy a whole pc for u to buy it which sucks

[balmy patio]

smh

[stuck yarrow]

and when people do buy it it goes on facebook marketplace for double the msrp and reasons for selling was : dont game to much

[balmy patio]

bruh

[stuck yarrow]

market for gpus are kinda f-ed up rn in my state especially

the rx580 is going for 1.8k-2.1k

[balmy patio]

same here

[stuck yarrow]

honestly its sad, atleast my friend let me borrow his laptop so pog

[charred island]

Hey guys so I got this pc given to me and Im pretty new to pcs, but I wanted to figure out how to check the specs and figure out what needs to be upgraded. Anyone think they can help

[stuck yarrow]

if u just wanna check the cpu gpu n ram just right click my computer and click properties

[balmy patio]

if it’s a prebuilt then an online spec sheet would most likely be available

[stuck yarrow]

if u wanna everything about your pc just download cpu Z @balmy patio correct me if im wrong

[balmy patio]

never used cpu z so i can’t deny it nor confirm it

but i can vouch that it’ll contain good info

[stuck yarrow]

rtx 3090

lol

[potent portal]

Look for the app cpu-z and it will tell you everything you need to know. Alternatively, hwinfo, which also includes monitoring.

[stuck yarrow]

the pricing is a joke at this point

[charred island]

Alright I got it thank you guys @potent portal @stuck yarrow @balmy patio

Anyone mind helping figure out what’s still good in it and what I should look towards upgrading 😅

[potent portal]

Sure, post or DM me screenshots of your cpuz tabs

[stuck yarrow]

yeahh i wanna see them too but im not qualified enough to help

[potent portal]

Looks like a FX 6300, this should be interesting

[timber dragon]

ey guys, need help. Tryin to buy a Next-Gen Gaming PC (Ryzen 5000, RTX 3000 and so on) but i am also tryin to spend the least money. Any recomendations for a Next-Gen PC for cheap?

[potent portal]

Prebuilt, if you can find one. Only way you won't be spending $800 minimum on a gpu alone.

[timber dragon]

oh ok!

[sonic trout]

the 3 pin GDV on a MB is for strips and 4 pin BRG 12v is for fans correct?

[robust lake]

Yes

But to make sure

[sonic trout]

now a daisy chain is to connect multiple to that 1 port?

[robust lake]

Check your mb manual

[potent portal]

Daisy chaining usually refers to connecting multiple things together, such as connecting a fan to a fan, which then goes back to a single port/header.

You don't want to put more than 2 fans on a single fan header, or more than 3 RGB devices on a single RGB header

[sonic trout]

I'm replacing the 2 fans on my heat sink with RGB ones would recommend any?

The daisy chain cable.

[potent portal]

How much do you want to spend on a single fan? $5? $20?

[sonic trout]

Oh I already have the fans picked I'm looking for that cable that I can connect to a single port.

on new egg some of them were not brands I know or from china.

[potent portal]

Ohhh I see. Were you splitting the RGB header or the fan header? 3 pin or 4 pin?

[sonic trout]

4 pin I guess

[potent portal]

Those look like they should daisy chain together without an adapter

You'd connect the pins to the ones for the other fan, and then connect one of them to the motherboard

[sonic trout]

Ah

ok

Thank you

[potent portal]

Glad I could save you some money lol

[sonic trout]

Never had to deal with all this RGB haha

[mental steeple]

🐵

[mental steeple]

lol u high or sum

[wanton cliff]

heh

windshields

[sharp pelican]

Well, my class built pcs with r5 3600's

[cloud sparrow]

Whats a good 144hz montior for cheap

[balmy patio]

the only cheap drives i can think of from kingston and wd smh

[mental steeple]

silicon power a60

[balmy patio]

oh it was 1 am smh

[rough stump]

hey does anyone know of any good case fans? I am trying to keep it on the cheap side, rgb dosent matter, I just want some quiet ones. Any help?

[worn wave]

Arctic P12

[balmy patio]

p12 pst is 5 120 for $40

[rough stump]

and do they have good airflow while staying quiet?

[worn wave]

Yes

[rough stump]

ok

[balmy patio]

idk if they still have each fan selling for 9.99 tho

[worn wave]

Why would be recommend them if they diddnt

[rough stump]

and while i'm here I have one more question

do you guys know of a good, affordable, cpu cooler?

air cooled

[worn wave]

SSE-224

Gammax 400

[balmy patio]

gammax 400

damn beat me to it

[rough stump]

ok let me see here

[balmy patio]

gammax 400 ugly so 224-xt is prolly a better option

[rough stump]

ok which one do you reccomend?

[jagged ember]

Lol

[rough stump]

and is there a big difference?

[jagged ember]

I'm using the gammax

I'm okay with the look

[rough stump]

ok

[jagged ember]

But you may vary

[worn wave]

Either one are fine

[rough stump]

alright

[jagged ember]

Performance wise is all good

[worn wave]

It's just personal opinion when it comes to the looks.

[balmy patio]

yee

[rough stump]

ok, thank you guys so much

[balmy patio]

they’re both at generally at around the same price so it’s for you to use

choose*

[jagged ember]

Maybe one will be on sale

[little osprey]

Is it possible to overclock a 5950x to 4,6-4,7ghz with the Kraken z73 cooler sitting on it? (I have Arctic Mx-5 paste applied on my cooler)

[worn wave]

#overclocking would be a better place to ask

[little osprey]

Ahh thanks mate

[shut rampart]

hi

im back

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qhCH27

looking to buy more memory like 32gb

or what do you think I should upgrade for my pc?

I got $150 bucks to spare

[wanton cliff]

Ive never heard of the Team L5

I'm sure there are better terabyte drives

I know there are some for much cheaper at the very least

Do you already own that or are you buying all of this soon?

[stoic island]

@wanton cliff l5 3d does have dram iirc

[cloud sparrow]

how to find which ram is compataible with pc

[wanton cliff]

is your CPU's IMC compatible with DDR3 or DDR4?

whichever one it is, thats the form of DDR its compatible with

[stoic island]

Well, there's 3 main things to keep in mind, ram generation (ddr3, ddr4), ram speed (some motherboards will limit frequency), and cooler clearance (some hefty coolers might block tall ram sticks)

[wanton cliff]

what CPU and motherboard do you have?

@cloud sparrow

[cloud sparrow]

i have

a

ryzen 5 3600

[wanton cliff]

so 3600mhz memory is going to be your friend then

DDR4 obviously

[cloud sparrow]

B450

[stoic island]

@shut rampart personally I'd either save up for a new cpu or save up a bit for the good 2x16gb kits (usually 160-180$ nowadays). Also, no harm in buying 3600c16 ram even if the cpu imc can't run that high, if you're planning on Zen 2 or Zen 3 upgrades

@cloud sparrow what cooler, stock?

[wanton cliff]

I'd get a new CPU

[cloud sparrow]

idk

lemmie check

https://www.amazon.com/SkyTech-Blaze-Gaming-Computer-Desktop/dp/B08VYWYSWK/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=ryzen+5+3600+gtx+1660&qid=1616075871&s=electronics&sr=1-2

is link

just look at that

[stoic island]

Looks like stock

Any ddr4 sticks will work for you, preferably 3600mhz cl16 for performance, but 3200mhz cl16 can work if it's too expensive

[cloud sparrow]

whats 1 stick of 8g ram

that will work

send me link if can

[rough stump]

Hey when you guys have a second I need a good case, idk of one that will fit all my stuff cos I'm new to this, and this is my first build

any reccomendations for a case thats not too expensive but will fit what I have?

[stoic island]

@cloud sparrow mix matching ram is not reccomended by the way

[cloud sparrow]

ik

whats the ram

in that pc?

[stoic island]

You have it, we don't, they don't usually list those things

[cloud sparrow]

no it only comes with 8g

i wanna add 8g

[stoic island]

@rough stump well, send part list maybe? And what's the budget?

[cloud sparrow]

to make it 16g

[rough stump]

yeah I can send a parts list

I want to keep it around 1,000, a little over is fine though

[stoic island]

@cloud sparrow look, different sticks of the same capacity and the same speed and the same timings can have weird compatibility issues

Ram is weird

Fair

[rough stump]

@stoic island https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hRhcrr

parts list

I need a case

[balmy patio]

i don't think that cooler is enough for a 10900k 😳

[rough stump]

what do you think would be

[balmy patio]

cheapest i'd go is darck rock 4 or mugen 5

[cloud sparrow]

how to find the exact brand of the ram in my pc

[balmy patio]

if you don't want a relatively chonk cooler, nh-u12a, ek-aio (basic or rgb, 240+) or freezer ii (240+)

[balmy patio]

take it out and read what it says if it's old, if it's relatively new then look what it says in the heatsink and check your timings nd speeds

[stoic island]

@rough stump that's a lot more than 1000$

Remember 3080 costs 700$, and currently isn't being counted

[balmy patio]

3080 and cpu alone are 1000+ smh

[rough stump]

ah

the prices decieved me

i'll change it, what do you guys reccomend as a good gaming graphics card thats cheaper?

I also want it to be vr capable if possible, but if not thats fine

[stoic island]

@rough stump this is a 1000$ total list I made earlier including GPU price
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dzcnqp

[rough stump]

ok thank you

[stoic island]

I can explain choices if you want

[rough stump]

so should i stick with an i5?

i kinda wanted something a little better

[stoic island]

Well, the budget is kind of forcing your hand

[rough stump]

thats true

[stoic island]

But the 10400f isn't bad at all

It ain't no pentium

[rough stump]

ok

so there is no cpu cooler

is that a problem

[stoic island]

Well, it comes with a workable cooler, you can get a gammaxx 400 or SE-224-xt for 25$ if you'd like

[rough stump]

ok

[stoic island]

(no cooler in list was a cost saving measure)

[rough stump]

ok thats fine

imma probably get one in case I decide to upgrade to like an i7 later on

thank you for all your help

[stoic island]

:)

@rough stump I'll link you this in case you feel the stock cooler is too loud or you want it to boost a bit higher
https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-SE-224-XT-Cooler-Heatpipes-Cooling/dp/B082V7TCSB/

[rough stump]

how much better than an se 224 xt is that

oh wait

I already have that

lol

thanks though

[stoic island]

(in addition to my list)

[rough stump]

ok np

[verbal quarry]

OOF

[left onyx]

I need help ASAP. I am building my new pc with a 5900x. I am ordering a B550 Vision D and I am worried I’ll have to have another cpu to update the mobo so I’ll be able to use my 5900x. Help?

[static ravine]

if the board is 5000 ready it should work if not I recommend using a previous 3rd gen ryzen chip to update bios and drop in 5900x

[scenic turret]

It has QFlash meaning you can update via a usb and a fat32 file

[static ravine]

oh wait yea bios flash

[scenic turret]

basically you don't need a Ryzen 3000 to update, this feature allows easy updates with just a usb stick and no cpu, ram, memory, etc. Only needs atx power and the usb stick.

[left onyx]

Gotcha

Thanks guys

Also

Is it safe for me to get this board from a third party on amzn? Ik this is the Newegg disc but I need the mobo ASAP

Or should I move on to a diff mobo

[cursive wharf]

you dont need a $388 board for a 5900x

$115 b550 Pro4 is fine tbf

[left onyx]

I know. It’s marked up $100 and I need the bios flash

It’s also a white build

[cursive wharf]

goto local sellers and check for Zen3 ready boards, or upgrade the board there for $20 (lot of them do that)

[left onyx]

Gotcha

[little osprey]

Asus makes a white one too

[left onyx]

Thanks

Also thats ECC

Make sure your board supports ECC

[rough stump]

using pcp, will it tell me if my ram wont be compatible with my mobo, or if the mobo has enough slots for everything I need? I am just concerned about buying the parts then them not being compatible

[pure flame]

usually. send it here and people will double check

ram incompatibility is very rare for new mobo/ram

if you look at mobo picture, you see how many ram sticks it can take

[rough stump]

ok

i only need 16 gigs, so I think those work

I'm worried about having the right sized slots and stuff

[lyric thistle]

If you pick a board that takes DDR4 in pcpp it will only show DDR4 in the results

[rough stump]

ok then it must work

thanks

Hey guys

So I’m gonna go to a micro center soon to buy some pc parts for my build

I’m planning on getting a moderate graphics card for now, but I can’t really find one and that’s the only thing missing from my build

Any thoughts?
