[rough stump]

I dont know much, but personally I cant find any decent graphics cards

[lyric thistle]

970

1070 mayb

[exotic idol]

Yeah, something like that

I just want something for basic productivity and some games

[lyric thistle]

Could even go 980 or 980 ti

[exotic idol]

Can you try and find something like that that is not too much?

[lyric thistle]

On eBay, try this

[wanton cliff]

is this a joke?

[split hill]

No I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing or talking about

[wanton cliff]

oh

what motherboard and CPU do you have

[split hill]

Intel Core i5-4570

[lyric thistle]

Should not use ecc memory

[split hill]

Idk Gigabyte

Motherboard

[wanton cliff]

yeah

[balmy patio]

what chipset?

[wanton cliff]

nah

not a good deal

not imo at least

might want a second opinion

[split hill]

Gigabyte b85m

W/ IO shield

anyways what should I look for then?

[lyric thistle]

If you had a Xeon with a server motherboard you could use the ecc ram

[balmy patio]

i don't think that chipset supports ecc

[lyric thistle]

Look on pcpp and sort price low to high

[split hill]

Alrighty then

Thanks for the help

[balmy patio]

2x8 ddr3 1300mhz - 1600mhz should be able to work

*non ecc

[signal gate]

I lack ecc and need some 😭

[balmy patio]

lol nice status

[signal gate]

I have a couple ramless workstations that require ecc ram

[balmy patio]

sad

[signal gate]

Lmao

[narrow stump]

do I need to buy thermal paste when building if the processor already came slathered in that? I assume it was the paste

[wanton cliff]

what do you mean?

if you are putting a new cooler on?

[wicked frigate]

Guys what’s happened

[wanton cliff]

CPU fan error

how many fans do you have connected to CPU_FAN_1?

[wicked frigate]

Umm how do check

[wanton cliff]

looking

[wicked frigate]

??

[wanton cliff]

Should be above your RAM slots

CPU_FAN_1

[wicked frigate]

Umm let me check

I need to open it trigger

Right

[wanton cliff]

no

you dont need to take RAM out

just send me a picture of that area

[wicked frigate]

No like I have to open the case

K

Let me open up the case

I think one of the wire might’ve touched it

[little osprey]

400$ listing price for i7 11700k 🤔 is it really worth it ? 🤔

its same price as 10850k 🤔

[wanton cliff]

pretty sure 10850k is better but I would have to check that

11700k benches werent that impressive

[pure flame]

slightly worse than 10850k multicore iirc

[wicked frigate]

Didn’t even try to over locking it

Umm why

What do is o

I do

I didn’t even try to over locking it

[wanton cliff]

I would say reset CMOS and dont overclock

[wicked frigate]

Overclocking

I didn’t even do anything to overclockit

So reset the cmos

Ok for how long

[wanton cliff]

turn power off, unplug PSU cable, reset CMOS

[wicked frigate]

Wait so I have to take out all the psu cables

Last time I did it without it

Just unplugged it from the wall

[wanton cliff]

just make sure it isnt connected to power

[wicked frigate]

So like the power outlet right

And for how long do I take it out for

[wanton cliff]

10 minutes or so

when you do that, press the power button a few times as well

[wicked frigate]

Before I take the cmos out or after

[wanton cliff]

after

[wicked frigate]

K

I took it out just rn

Can someone tell me what the black slot is

[wanton cliff]

no you didnt

[wicked frigate]

Cause the gpu doesn’t work in the the dark blue

[wanton cliff]

the CMOS battery is still in

[little osprey]

why those z590 mobos are looking so beautiful 🙄

[wicked frigate]

It’s not

But can someone tell me what that black slot is

Because my gpu doesn’t work I t he dark blue

And idk why

[wanton cliff]

its a PCIe 8x slot in 16x size

[lyric thistle]

8 lane PCIe x16 slot

[balmy patio]

the black one is pci

[wicked frigate]

Should I put the gpu in there

What about the dark blue one

[balmy patio]

wait no, light blue seems to be pci

[wicked frigate]

Hi do which one to put the gpu in

[wanton cliff]

one thing at a time

[wicked frigate]

Asus I didn’t work in the dark blue

Kkkk

[balmy patio]

dark blue there's a x16 or x8 and the other one is either x1 or x4

[wanton cliff]

ONE THING AT A TIME, PLEASE

CMOS BATTERY

[wicked frigate]

Ok

[little osprey]

why people don't using cmos reset jumper 🤔

[wicked frigate]

Idk how

K I put it back in

I started it

I went in the bios

Now???

[wanton cliff]

reset XMP settings and get on your way

[wicked frigate]

How do i do that

[wanton cliff]

XMP settings is your RAM clock speed

you know how to set that, right?

[wicked frigate]

No

Sadly

[wanton cliff]

what board

[wicked frigate]

One of those

Here

[wanton cliff]

do you know the speed of your RAM?

[wicked frigate]

Umm I think this

[wanton cliff]

that might be normal speed

[wicked frigate]

Ummm than I don’t think so

[wanton cliff]

hm?

try and find your RAM max speed

[wicked frigate]

How

Online

[wanton cliff]

sure

[wicked frigate]

I don’t even know what ram

[wanton cliff]

or if you have your box

[wicked frigate]

I only know ddr3

8gb

No

[wanton cliff]

you can take a stick out and check that

[lyric thistle]

Open the computer and look at it

[wicked frigate]

Lol

K

Prebuilt

????

That’s all ik

Anything

Should I start it again

[wanton cliff]

sure

[wicked frigate]

Kk

I think it works thx guys

So now

What do I plug my gpu in

[urban totem]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rYfb68
Suggestions?

[desert gulch]

go for a se 224 xt

id go for a cheaper mobo

umm that psu is tier e from what i can find

ill get a second opinion on it real quick

[sour fox]

@valid yoke why does your plex server have an RTX?

[desert gulch]

ok yeah DO NOT GET THAT POWER SUPPLY

[urban totem]

Came with the 3070 😖

[desert gulch]

dont use it

potentially dangerosu

[urban totem]

What to do with it?

[desert gulch]

@ripe wedge didnt you get a p gm with your 3070 aswell?

idk dont use it tho

[ripe wedge]

with my 3080 yeah

[desert gulch]

mhmm

would you reccomend using it?

[ripe wedge]

im sending mine to Gamers Nexus

no

I havent opened mine

[desert gulch]

thats what i was thinking aswell

[desert gulch]

i would get like a segotep 700 or if you want a rly nice psu amp 650 or 750

[ripe wedge]

or a rm850x

thats what I have

[desert gulch]

mhmm

but for 3070 and 5600x you could do a segotep 700 fairly easily

https://www.amazon.com/Segotep-Gaming-Supply-Certified-Non-Modular/dp/B08D3Q2YZ7https://www.amazon.com/Segotep-Gaming-Supply-Certified-Non-Modular/dp/B08D3Q2YZ7

70 bucks

80+ gold tier b

[desert gulch]

or you could wait till gamers nexus does their review on jakes p gm and see if its good now...

[little osprey]

lmao

[robust tide]

Should I put in my radiator inside of my pc already I dont got all the parts yet

[urban totem]

What part are you missing?

[granite linden]

what would you guys suggest to be paired with a 2080 TI?

[wet prairie]

guys i need a lot, a lot of help so i was randomly in a game of fortnite. my pc crashes. i restart my pc. it doesn’t boot it says no signal. then, i go do a system repair, i restart my pc after i do that system repair. then it’s just like a constant loop it will not boot into windows. when i turn it on this comes up. i’ve also tried to reset cmos, doesn’t work, change the boot drive, doesn’t work.

[stoic island]

Might be clean install time if you don't mind losing data

[stoic island]

What budget

[wet prairie]

i don’t want lose any data tho 😩

[granite linden]

lets go wild

[stoic island]

What

[little osprey]

What does that even say

[granite linden]

$1500 not including the gpu

[stoic island]

Critical process died I believe

[wet prairie]

CRITICAL PROCESS DIED

[stoic island]

Lmao 1500$ can get you a build with 3080 if at msrp

Welp

I'll do 1000$ without gpu

[granite linden]

it wont be at msrp for quite a while

and yeah thats fine lol

[stoic island]

B e s t. B u y

[little osprey]

Well thats helpful

"Driver, Memory error, etc"

[granite linden]

impatience is my specialty

[stoic island]

BB does MSRP drops, although in store pickup only

Welp

[wet prairie]

i also turned off xmp and it still did nothing

[stoic island]

@granite linden what will it be used for?

[little osprey]

Mr1111

[stoic island]

Gaming?

Wot

[little osprey]

Couldn't it be actually bad memory?

Not XMP, more like physically bad ram

With errors.

[stoic island]

Unlikely, but maybe

[granite linden]

gaming and streaming whenever i feel like it

[wet prairie]

it’s never done this kind of stuff before

[stoic island]

@granite linden editing and such or no

[granite linden]

no edits

[stoic island]

What resolution are you going to play at

And do you want me to give you a monitor suggestion?

Hm

Screw it, going a bit over 1000$

@granite linden 1111 list
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m2wsfP

If you're ever going for a new monitor, Gigabyte M27q at 320-330$, great 1440p 170hz ips panel

[granite linden]

thanks sir 1111

[balmy patio]

the 10850k is cheaper at microcenter if you have one nearby

[granite linden]

i would have to go to a different state

[balmy patio]

smh

[granite linden]

what do you want me to do, move?

lol

[urban totem]

5600x?

[granite linden]

what

[urban totem]

5600x instead of the 10850k?

[granite linden]

more than likely

[elder comet]

@urban totem change ur pfp pls cause it’s making me horny

[little osprey]

[urban totem]

You’re welcome

[elder comet]

LOL

[urban totem]

It’s apart of the job

[ripe wedge]

[granite linden]

wtf just happened

[ripe wedge]

5600x if you are gaming. 10850k if u need cores

[oak kayak]

Hey Guys, I have a question about Origin PC's. I would like to order one just to get my hand on a 3080, and a 5900x. but I fear they just say they have them so they can get sales. then tell me "oh, My bad it will be 2 more weeks till be can ship the pc, cause BLA bla Bla". Anyone here have experiance with Orgin Pcs and if there trust worthy. according to the the sales rep they got the stuff in stock.

[little osprey]

I want two part lists one for a i9 and one for a R9. Both must have a 360mm aio and no rgb is preferred. Budget is $5k each. Request from a classmate of mine

[rough stump]

i cant put one together, but damn 5k is a hefty budget

you can get a lot with that

[urban totem]

Nzxt imo is the best prebuilt company rn

[little osprey]

whats the best case on the market rn?

[wanton cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/spit-take-laugh-lmao-gif-9271200

[wanton cliff]

depends

[stoic island]

@urban totem nah, nzxt kinda bad for prebuilts, xotic is where it's at :p

[wanton cliff]

I would recommend BuildRedux as well but not anymore

BLD is a joke

[little osprey]

@wanton cliff i just need one to buy but idk if i should buy lian li dynamic

[wanton cliff]

the O11 is so overrated tbh

only get it for entry level watercooling

imo

[little osprey]

then witch one should i get

[wanton cliff]

well whats the rest of the system you plan to get

and how much money do you have

[gusty abyss]

I only get my prebuilts from Falcon Northwest

[rough stump]

what does this mean and will i have to change stuff for my pc to work

[jaunty nacelle]

whats a good motherboard for the i5-10400

[wanton cliff]

B560 Pro4 from Asrock

[jaunty nacelle]

is the matx version good too

b560m pro4/ac

[wanton cliff]

its an mATX motherboard

[rough stump]

whats a good one for i7? because thats what I have and whats throwing the error at me

[muted patio]

That's just an M.2 slot, no big deal

[rough stump]

about the slot being non-functional

[muted patio]

What board?

[rough stump]

ok, im new to this. what is an m.2 slot

[wanton cliff]

its where you put an M.2 form factor SSD

[muted patio]

It's for NVME drives, what motherboard is that for?

and what CPU?

[gusty abyss]

sometimes for wifi adapters

[rough stump]

intel i7 and a b560 pro 4

[wanton cliff]

which i7

[rough stump]

10700k

[wanton cliff]

guessed as much

[rough stump]

is that a bad thing

[wanton cliff]

nah

[rough stump]

I figured it would be the best for my first build

[muted patio]

M2_1 works with 11th gen only

THere are two others to use

You will be fine

[rough stump]

ok thanks

[wanton cliff]

#cpus-mobo-and-memory message

speaking of:

[muted patio]

already saw it

day it came out lol

[wanton cliff]

it... came out an hour ago?

[gusty abyss]

try two days?

[little osprey]

@wanton cliff i have 1600

[muted patio]

It....came....out, 2 days ago?

[wanton cliff]

wtf

[gusty abyss]

lol yt notifications

[wanton cliff]

is my youtube broken?

[muted patio]

yes

[wanton cliff]

lmao

[gusty abyss]

no, youtube was just reminding you that gn uploaded that and you apparently hadn't watched it yet

the "1 hour ago" is for the notification, not the upload

[wanton cliff]

wtf

youtube being confusing as hell

its never done that before

[gusty abyss]

social media is cool and good

[urban totem]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4wDLxc going for a segotep 750w psu

[muted patio]

Which 750W?

Some are good, some are bad

[urban totem]

Segotep 750W Fully Modular ATX Black Power Supply 80 Plus Gold Certified

[muted patio]

GPP? GPT? Kinda hard to find their model names TBH

[urban totem]

GF750

[muted patio]

Hmm, haven't seen that one before

[wicked frigate]

What’s the black one for

My gpu doesn’t work in the dark blue one

[potent portal]

Where's your cmos battery?

That really needs to be in

[wicked frigate]

I did put that in

It’s just an old pic

But idk which slot to put the gpu in

[potent portal]

Ok
In theory the gpu will work almost the same in both slots

[urban totem]

I also have a gigabyte p gm and don’t know if I should use it

[muted patio]

That would be a no

[wicked frigate]

So thE gpu should work in the dark blue and the black

[potent portal]

What board is it exactly? You might need to manually set the pci version

[wicked frigate]

But by the black there are something in front of it

That

Wait what’s that thing in front of the black slot

[muted patio]

Socket FM1, PCI-E 2.0

[wicked frigate]

Liek cylinder looking things

[muted patio]

I don't think it's compatible with theboard

[potent portal]

Oh that's an old one

[wicked frigate]

Ye

[potent portal]

Definitely could be compatibility issues if it's a newer gpu

[muted patio]

I'm not sure the 1050TI likes the older 2.0 slots

[wicked frigate]

So it won’t work right

[muted patio]

You've already reset the CMOS and tried both slots. I'm going with no at this point but it might be a dud card too

You got it second hand so

[wicked frigate]

No i

Do don’t try the black slot

[muted patio]

You haven't used the other slot yet?

Give it a shot at least

[wicked frigate]

Not the black one

But

Wait

[potent portal]

If it's just a bad slot that would be best case scenario here

[muted patio]

Yep

[wicked frigate]

I see that thing in front of the black slot

The cylinder looking things

What’s that

[muted patio]

Capacitor

[potent portal]

^ for the onboard audio

[wicked frigate]

That’s

What’s that

Will that agency my gpu

[potent portal]

Usb

[wicked frigate]

Like I place it

Will that affect the gpu

[muted patio]

It's fine

And no

[wicked frigate]

Like how I place it

[potent portal]

The cable is usb, if it fits in the slot it's fine

[wicked frigate]

K I’ll give an a shot

[potent portal]

You can unplug the usb cable if it gets in the way

(and front panel audio cable too)

[wicked frigate]

How

Not that cable the cylinder looking thing

[broken osprey]

So I bought a prebuilt but I did some overclocking and im proud

@muted patio what’s the cylinder looking things

I front of the slot

[muted patio]

#building-and-recc-chat message

[wicked frigate]

Yah that thing

[muted patio]

What are real world benchmarks though, like Cinebench or something?

[broken osprey]

Ikij

[wicked frigate]

Will that effect my gpu and how I place it

???????

[muted patio]

Don't get me wrong, OC the heck out of it and have fun!

[broken osprey]

Tyty

[muted patio]

userbench just isn't accurate it is all

[broken osprey]

Userbench said my 1660ti is in the 98th percentile of the 1660tis

[muted patio]

Do things like Cinebench R20 before and after and 3DMark Timespy before and after.

Those will give accurate results.

[broken osprey]

Ale

Alr

Can they compare my 1660ti to other 1660tis?

[muted patio]

Comparing it to other 1660TI's is kinda.....not right. Other things in the system can affect GPU performance so, unless it's an apples to apples comparison, simply comparing to another 1660TI isn't exactly accurate.

[broken osprey]

Ok fair

Ty

[muted patio]

Like, how far mem and GPU Core OC?

[broken osprey]

Youre asking me?

[muted patio]

Yes

ON the GPU, how much mem and core OC?

[broken osprey]

I think I did +165 and +1500

So 7500mhz memory

[muted patio]

OH nice, that's a good OC

Stable in games?

[broken osprey]

And like 2085ish mhz core

Uhhh

Tbh

I have to test games tommorow

Im not 100 percent sure

[muted patio]

I'd recommend something like Unigine Heaven

https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven

[broken osprey]

I have unigine something

[muted patio]

Rather than games

[broken osprey]

Can I add u as friend

[muted patio]

I don't do friend requests but I leave my DM's open

[broken osprey]

Cause I gtg to bed pretty soon and wanna remember ur user

Ok

[muted patio]

NOthing personal

Just how I use Discord. 🙂

[broken osprey]

Ill just put a message so I remember

[muted patio]

If you look on the right

I'm pretty far up on the list XD

[broken osprey]

I just tapped on ur name

Im not on da pc rn

[wicked frigate]

Wait guys can I still return my 1050ti doesn’t msi have 3 year warranty

[austere wagon]

Warranty doesn’t mean return

[muted patio]

I thought you got it from your cousin or something?

[wicked frigate]

@muted patio yah but can I do something

About it

I can call him

And ask

And if he says test

Yes

Is there a way I can return it or smh

Something

[muted patio]

Probably not unless it can be returned? Warranty or RMA won't fix it. Try the black slot

[wicked frigate]

Ok but do you know if that thing will affect my gpu and if it will fit

The cylinder looking thing

[muted patio]

Just put the card in

[wicked frigate]

Ok I’ll do tmr and I’ll dm u

Cya I have to go to bed

[muted patio]

👍

[fossil cedar]

Oof

[muted patio]

This the one with the OS install heartache?

Gross

Might have just been a bad flash

BUt those are SO HARD to figure out

[jagged ember]

It probably just wanted to see you cry

[exotic vault]

is this build good (note the CPU is from Micro center) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pqRdW3

And yes i live near a micro center

[lime sinew]

.

[vapid bay]

prolly change the drives to mp34 512gb and wd blue 2tb

[exotic vault]

ok

[vapid bay]

find the cl16 of the ram

[exotic vault]

ok

[vapid bay]

there's a trident z neo 3600 cl16 and that's better (similar price iirc)

[exotic vault]

Ok you know witch one ?

[frozen ivy]

Just completed my first build and it doesn’t boot. Back to the drawing board 🥴

[vapid bay]

just find the cl16 version of the same ram you placed

[exotic vault]

Ok

[zinc quarry]

anyone familiar on how to work with Lian Li unifans? I cant seem to get them to work

[frank stirrup]

The rgb part isnt working?

[zinc quarry]

both rgb and the fans

they're both connected to the controller

[frank stirrup]

Motherboard?

[zinc quarry]

Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2

[frank stirrup]

also dm me the pics of what you have done if possible

Like dm me pics of the connections

[brittle tinsel]

If I only get half a gig download speed, would it be better to plug into 1g lan or 2.5g?

[frank stirrup]

I mean if you have 2.5g just go with that

[muted patio]

If your internet speed is only 500 mb, doesn't matter

[brittle tinsel]

Alright

Asking for a friend my speeds are only 20mb down

[frank stirrup]

unless one of them happens to be a frikin realteck ethernet thing

hate that company

[muted patio]

Only matters if you're using the PC as a server

I've never had an issue with realtek ethernet TBH

[brittle tinsel]

I’ve had issues with it not detecting Ethernet but after a reinstall of drivers it was fine

Same with Realtek audio

[dusk parrot]

Okay so I'm currently building In a P400 case and I dont really know where these wires go, if any one could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

[frank stirrup]

I threw a laptop away because I got way too frustrated with realtek wifi being moody

One major requirement for all my devices now is intel wifi adaptors

[frank stirrup]

Cant really see them clearly ngl

[dusk parrot]

Let me retake the picture, sorry my camera quality on my phone is rlly bad.

[frank stirrup]

np maybe take indivisual close ups then

[dusk parrot]

Got it

[little osprey]

Hello, i am currently talking with this person that is sellling me this pc for 1500

I want to know if its a good deal or not );

[limber atlas]

1500

[little osprey]

I would also like to know how i can test it at home because she’s coming to my house

[jagged ember]

Id ask about what psu

[limber atlas]

^

[jagged ember]

And correlate it with the psu list

Otherwise for 1500 that's not bad

I'd take it tbh

[limber atlas]

if she’s coming to your house it’ll be simple to plug everything in

no worries

[jagged ember]

The battery of tests would probably be timespy and cinebench 20 at least

Other tests I don't know

You'd need a techie to tell you

[limber atlas]

good deal tbh

[frank stirrup]

im going through the manuals gimme a bit

[dusk parrot]

Gotchu

[little osprey]

So i just plug the pc in into my monitor and the system will just do its thing? Its my very first pc and i really dont wanna ge scammed haha );

[jagged ember]

Oh run the tests I said earlier

At a bare minimum

Maybe prime95

I'd probably confirm these with a techie tho lol

[frank stirrup]

so basically if ur computer is booting with the prwer button on ur case, all the connectors that u sent pics for are for accessesorie that are not included.

[dusk parrot]

Oh. So they don't matter?

[frank stirrup]

Becasue im not seeing any front pannel usb headers so imma assume you already plugged em in

[frank stirrup]

Unless u buy accessories from phantecs, no they are 100% useless

[frank stirrup]

yee all the important stuff seems to be in place

[dusk parrot]

Also one more thing, I have a 3 pinned connector for my fan and it's to short to connect to any of the pins on the mobo, I tried looking for an extension cord but I'm not sure if this case came with one.

[little osprey]

Thanks for the help

[jagged ember]

I try

One day I'll be techie

[little osprey]

Hey hey I have a question if anyone out there could help me!! Im currently working on my very first pc build and I’ll just curious what cables am I supposed to use to connect my gpu to my psu?

I know I need two 8pin connectors but i dont know which ones they are

[autumn wolf]

normally theyll be labeled as pci or pcie or something similar which would connect to the gpu

[little osprey]

Is it this one?

It does say PCIe on the side so I think it is 🤔

[autumn wolf]

then yes, you would plug it into the gpu and psu. the right end is the one you plug into the gpu

[little osprey]

Ok so plug in the 6+2 to gpu right?

[autumn wolf]

and the other end you would plug where it would say pcie or gpu on the power supply

yes, plug the 6+2 into the gpu

[little osprey]

Gotcha thank you!! Appreciate it

[rose scarab]

Computer nerds I need you

I need a good Graphics card I’m currently building. Gaming pc I have the specs but I don’t wanna spend 1500 on a 2070 super

[autumn wolf]

gpu market is wack rn but the 30 series cards are good if you can find them somewhat near msrp

unless you want to really look and shuffle through the used market and try and find a somewhat good deal on older cards

best buy and newegg shuffle are pretty much you best bet on the 30 series cards

[little osprey]

Only thing YOU might find msrp is ampere

Turing and pascal production shut off

[little osprey]

I freaking did it!!! Thank you for your help!!

[autumn wolf]

ye, np. also you dont need to have both cpu pins in unless you plan on doing some serious overclocking. and if you have a second cable for the gpu id recommend using 2 cables instead of the 1 gpu cable with the split like how it is now

if you dont have a second cable then its fine

[little osprey]

That’s what I figured I think I have another I’ll have to check. I do plan on some overclocks but I’m just learning so who knows

[rose scarab]

What is Newegg shfulle

Shuffle

[rose scarab]

Should I try to wait for the 30 series to be back in stock?

[sharp tundra]

i would, it'd be more worth the wait than to spend just as much money on a card that is not nearly as good as a 30xx

[autumn wolf]

newegg shuffle is a raffle system in place where if you win then youll be given a chance to buy the product you want such as a 30 series gpu and such

[rose scarab]

How does one enter

[autumn wolf]

through their website or mobile app

[gusty abyss]

https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

[rose scarab]

How good is a 3060

[autumn wolf]

performance wise its about a 2060 super iirc

[rose scarab]

What does that mean

[autumn wolf]

its an alright card

3060ti is def better and would be more worth it over the 3060

[rose scarab]

Are those in stock or sold out as well?

[vapid bay]

every 30 series gpu is always oos so 🤷

[rose scarab]

Oos?

[vapid bay]

Out of Stock

it's always gonna be restocked but it's typically on stock for like, seconds

[rose scarab]

So what you recommend?

[vapid bay]

either 3060ti or buy the 6700xt on amd's main site

patience is highly needed

paying scalpers makes u stinky unless u rly need its capability

if mainly gaming, no no no paying scalpers

[rose scarab]

Yea I know been trying to build a pc for few months but been waiting for 30xx to be restocked

[vapid bay]

no u don't just wait

[rose scarab]

Tired of waiting

[vapid bay]

build assets to know when is the next restock of the place you'll buy one

[rose scarab]

Wym

[vapid bay]

then catch that restock coz it's not gonna last for a minute

[rose scarab]

Any clue how often restocks are?

[vapid bay]

depends

amd said they're gonna restock 6700xt every week on their site

just small amount tho iirc

[rose scarab]

What’s the best way to find out about restocks and such

[vapid bay]

idk talk to ppl that talks to shop employees

[still roost]

Vis#2160 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rose scarab]

Yea I’m just buying a prebuilt

[vapid bay]

at least buy a prebuilt with a 30xx card on it

then part out, sell it

[rose scarab]

Why not just keep it kekw

[vapid bay]

i mean, if the part sucks

especially psu

and drive

[rose scarab]

What are some pre builds around 1500-1700

I suck at this sorry

[vapid bay]

eh idk much bout prebuilts especially us market

not from there

[rose scarab]

What should I look for then

[frank stirrup]

If u gonna go for prebuilt DONT buy a dell

they are the worst

[vapid bay]

but yea getting a prebuilt is one of the best ways to get a good card (that's not scalped)

[vapid bay]

prob check if it has good specs and reasonable price

[rose scarab]

What counts as good specs?

[vapid bay]

hmmmm

[frank stirrup]

For 1500 dollars?

[vapid bay]

depends on budget and usage

[rose scarab]

Around that yes 1500-1700

[frank stirrup]

An i7 or i9 9th gen and up with a 3070 or 3080

[rose scarab]

Maybe 1800

[frank stirrup]

or a ryzen 7 or ryxen 9 3000 or 5000 series

[vapid bay]

for that prob 10700k, r8 5800x, then a 3070/80

drives and spu is least of the concern

cooler too but for that amount you'll prob get an aio already

[rose scarab]

Aio?

[vapid bay]

all in one cooler

[rose scarab]

Oh

[vapid bay]

kinda looks like this

[rose scarab]

I’ll try to find something

[vapid bay]

prob best one coz it looks like u need much infos, send th link/spec of the prebuilt then ppl will tell u if that part is bad or not, is it worth it, etc

[jagged ember]

Get an id cooling one

Or an arctic freezer 34

[vapid bay]

he planning to buy prebuilt instead

[jagged ember]

O

:(

[vapid bay]

to get 30 series card

[jagged ember]

Flip the rest of the pc

Fair

That's big brain

[rose scarab]

How would I know if I did flip the Pc if the parts are compatible?

[jagged ember]

If it works and goes thru cinebench and timespy at a bare minimum

It should be fine

Maybe prime95 for an hour or so

[rose scarab]

Huh

[jagged ember]

For more tests ask a techie

Those are the only tests I know so far

[rose scarab]

I’ll find some pre builds and send here

https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-blaze3-0-0161-nu-gaming-entertainment/p/1VK-005B-000R7

https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Holiday-Sale-AMD-Ryzen-3-2020

[fossil cedar]

Why are they putting a 3070 with a Ryzen 3 lol

[rose scarab]

Beats me idk jack abiut this kinda stuff just going off of what other people have said here

[tough pewter]

I've been thinking about doing a new Mobo and cpu combo (leaning towards amd 3000 series), with an aio, budget is $600, pairing it with a 2060, with intentions of upgrading to a 2080 ti

What should I get?

[tight sorrel]

MSI X570 Tomahawk, 5600x

[tough pewter]

I was thinking more 3000 series, because 5000 is hard to get atm

[tight sorrel]

oh, 3600 then

[tough pewter]

why not the 3700X?

[tight sorrel]

is ti just for gaming?

[tough pewter]

Yea

[tight sorrel]

then the 3700 doesnt offer much more perfomance per dollar over the 3600

[tough pewter]

Aren't core clocks much higher though?

[tight sorrel]

check out review for the 3000 series, overwhelminlgy dudes are like: 3600, if you want more coress, 3900

[tough pewter]

Alright, thank you!

[tight sorrel]

no worries

[jagged ember]

Price

And availablility

Everything is basically hard to get

You might as well go for the 5000 series

[fossil cedar]

I9 10850k and z490/z590

[jagged ember]

3600 overpriced last I checked

[tough pewter]

like $350 usd

[jagged ember]

Yeah msrp is 200

[tough pewter]

esh

[jagged ember]

Way overpriced

[tight sorrel]

also.. you already have a 9600k? I dont know how much more perfomance you will get a with a 3000 series

[jagged ember]

Oh true

If what's in your name is what you have

Just stick with it

[tough pewter]

My mobo is trash honestly

[jagged ember]

Its perfectly capable

Switch the mobo if you really feel you need it

[tight sorrel]

this

[tough pewter]

What would I switch it too?

[jagged ember]

B560

Or a z series if you do overclocking

[fossil cedar]

If you're changing motherboard imo 10850k

[jagged ember]

Meh

9600k is already pretty good

[fossil cedar]

Yeah but if they want to upgrade 10 cores will help especially when they going for 300

[jagged ember]

But why

[tight sorrel]

10 cores are not needed for gaming

[tough pewter]

I've got it over clocked but I get stutters like no tomorrow and no ram oc

[fossil cedar]

Ik but makes desktop experience better

[jagged ember]

Yeah you need a z series mobo to oc

What no

You don't need 10 cores for common use

[fossil cedar]

Ik but will just make experience slightly smoother

[jagged ember]

That's only for heavier cpu workloads

Blender and other things

[fossil cedar]

Fair

[jagged ember]

Not worth it for a slightly smoother experience

[tough pewter]

I run siege, discord and spotify at the same time

[jagged ember]

That's more ram

Than cores lol

[tight sorrel]

get better mobo, better ram, better cooler, you will do better than getting 3000 series cpu and mobo

[jagged ember]

Fair

[fossil cedar]

That's fine on 9600k, how much ram you have?

[jagged ember]

Better mobo first probably lol

[tough pewter]

16 gigs at 2666 because it wont oc on this mobo

[jagged ember]

Aaa 2666

[tough pewter]

it is 3200 speed ram

but I can't oc it on this mobo

[tight sorrel]

the mobo doesnt allow XMP?

[jagged ember]

Thats kinda sad

[tight sorrel]

wow... ya no, get a new mobo dude

[tough pewter]

It literally crashes and boot cycles when I go for XMP

[jagged ember]

Yeah

New mobo first definitely

[tough pewter]

It's an asrock mobo xD

[tight sorrel]

model?

[tough pewter]

I bought the system used, and upgraded everything except mobo

uhhhhh idk honestly

[tight sorrel]

lel

[tough pewter]

dirt cheap

lemme look

[fossil cedar]

Probs a h series

[jagged ember]

I feel like all you need is a new mobo and ram first

[fossil cedar]

Well his ram is 3200

[tight sorrel]

with a new mobo, might not even need ram if XMP is 3200

[fossil cedar]

So just new mobo i think

[jagged ember]

O wait sorry

[tough pewter]

Well I have 3200 speed ram, but it's running at 2666 rn because of the mobo

[jagged ember]

I forgot

Then new mobo and cooler

3200 is fine for intel

[tough pewter]

cooler is like 80 watt tdp or something

it's a huge tower cooler

[fossil cedar]

How are your temps?

[tough pewter]

mid 60's under load

[tight sorrel]

HAHAHAHA

dude, new mobo

[fossil cedar]

That's fine then

[tight sorrel]

easy

[tough pewter]

What should I get to pair with my cpu???

Micro atx

[jagged ember]

Whatever fits in your case

Atx for better size

[tight sorrel]

I dont know intel chipsets

[fossil cedar]

B360 i believe

[jagged ember]

B560 series tho if not overclocking

360 seems a little low for a 9600

[fossil cedar]

But it's 9th gen

[tough pewter]

Want to oc

[tight sorrel]

but Asus/Gigabyte/MSI is the go to

[jagged ember]

Ew msi lol

Customer support not great

[fossil cedar]

9th gen different socket tho?

[jagged ember]

Umm

Is it a different socket?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[tough pewter]

1151

[jagged ember]

I haven't actually checked lol

[fossil cedar]

Think so

[jagged ember]

Welp that's awful

[fossil cedar]

That's why i said b360 instead of b560

[jagged ember]

I see

Well, your call on the mobo then

Not familiar enough with the chipsets

[tough pewter]

@fossil cedar what's your recc?

[tight sorrel]

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-motherboards,3984.html

[fossil cedar]

Ehh idk that much but 9th gen but at least a b360 if not a z390

[tough pewter]

Ight, Thank you guys!

[fossil cedar]

That's only 10th gen and 11th gen intel boards

[tight sorrel]

socket 1151 is there

[fossil cedar]

Okay didn't see that but tbh they should have separated the sockets not mixed them in lol

[frank stirrup]

I mean they do say recent and 2021 in the title...

[fossil cedar]

Yeah but the guy has a 9th gen Intel so different socket to 10th and 11th gen

[frank stirrup]

I see...

[tough pewter]

yea, it's a 1151 socket, rather than the 1200 in 10th/11th gen

[stoic island]

1200 is 10/11th

but yes

[tough pewter]

mb

[sharp tundra]

man, played fallout 4 on pc thinking i could escape the crashes, i was wrong😔

[potent portal]

Mods help at least, unofficial fallout 4 patch and various engine fixes

[frozen ivy]

I can’t figure out where my power Led +/- cables attach to a z490A mobo. Anyone know?

[wanton cliff]

fun game

I have to set an FPS limiter via rivatuner in order to not get 10,000 FPS and speed up the game's time tenfold though

[stoic island]

@sharp tundra what'd you crash from?

[wanton cliff]

wdym 'what did you crash from'

its a creation engine game

[stoic island]

Surprisingly I've only crashed once on fo4

[wanton cliff]

that is very surprising

[stoic island]

And that was because I was doing dumb things with liberty prime

[wanton cliff]

heh

I'm not going to spoiler anything because FO4 has been out for years

[stoic island]

Yea me neither

[wanton cliff]

but some parts of that game were so fun

[stoic island]

People who knows of the game either already has it or have seen enough videos on it

[wanton cliff]

especially storming the Institute with Liberty Prime

[stoic island]

I really like BoS sooo

Never tried to blow up the flying ship thing tho, I don't like the institute

[wanton cliff]

I really liked the base building mechanics

[stoic island]

Base building was interesting

[wanton cliff]

Institute playthrough was my first

[stoic island]

Need to tell garvey to go away tho

I think I set up a base at red robin once, that gas station

[wanton cliff]

Elder Maxon came down from his virtibird at the end and tried to help fight us off but the Prydwyn blew up before he could even get off of it

they have these grenades that spawn Synths

[stoic island]

Lol

[wanton cliff]

pretty cool stuff

[stoic island]

I like going BoS, full power armor, and the triple laser you get from one of the early BoS quests

Zappy zap

[wanton cliff]

triple laser?

you mean the one from Danse at Arcjet?

[stoic island]

Yes

Haven't played in a while

[wanton cliff]

thats just a laser with a higher crit chance iirc

lemme check stats

[stoic island]

3 shots at once iirc

It burns through ammo

[fossil cedar]

Should be in your mobo manual

[stoic island]

I know for sure whatever I was using shot 3 lasers at once

Might be that might be different one

[wanton cliff]

There are different barrels you can add to it (like a laser splitter) but no exotics exist like that that are already modified

[stoic island]

It's possible I got it with a pre-installed splitter, and thought that was stock config

[frozen ivy]

I’m sure it is, I’m just not knowledgeable enough to know. There’s only one pin connector where it says plug_8pin_pwr1 but I have a + and - cord to plug in

[wanton cliff]

the Authority always comes with a longer stock and nothing else

[fossil cedar]

I'm not sure what you mean but try find a build guide with your mobo maybe

[wanton cliff]

The Brotherhood's weapons were always cool tho

definetly one of the cooler factions, without a doubt

those laser miniguns are always cool, especially the one that the Elder has that fires faster or whatever it does

and, of course, the Big Boy is cool

[versed rock]

Hey... This isn't gaming.

[wanton cliff]

oh dang you right

[versed rock]

If you are talking about the Power LED your manual should tell you where to plug it in on the little front panel connectors pin layout.

[frozen ivy]

22. If you’re still not sure, no worries at all.

[versed rock]

That's not for the power LED

[frozen ivy]

Perfect

[muted patio]

No, don't plug that there

[fossil cedar]

That's your cpu power up the top

[versed rock]

The Power LED is on the bottom edge of the board.

[muted patio]

They go on the FP connector, bottom right of the motherboard

[versed rock]

Along with the Power Switch, Reset Switch, and HDD LED

I honestly have no idea what that little 2 pin jumper is for.

I've never seen another board with that.

[muted patio]

BOttom right of the motherboard, not there. same place your power switch and reset switch go

[worn wave]

that might be some sort of LED

[muted patio]

22 is just an LED lol

[dawn cosmos]

how do i pull specs? I need help with 2 items I'm about to purchase as upgrade parts

[worn wave]

Which parts?

[dawn cosmos]

new processor and motherboard

[worn wave]

which ones

[stoic island]

What do you currently have, and what are you buying

[worn wave]

you can look at the companys websites

[wanton cliff]

Task Manager usually works too

or a DXDiag file

[dawn cosmos]

hey Mr1111! I spoke with you like a week ago. Um im buying these: https://www.newegg.com/asus-prime-x570-p/p/N82E16813119199?Description=prime X570-p&cm_re=prime_X570-p-_-13-119-199-_-Product and this one: https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-3600/p/N82E16819113569?Description=ryzen 5 3600&cm_re=ryzen_5 3600-_-19-113-569-_-Product&quicklink=true

I currently have an i3 processor

[muted patio]

Don't need x570 really, I'd get a B550 board

[dawn cosmos]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100 CPU @ 3.90GHz 3.91 GHz

i need to pull my specs. Because I was told these two parts are the only ones compatible with my current specs

[muted patio]

This board more than enough TBH https://www.newegg.com/asus-tuf-gaming-b550-plus/p/N82E16813119313 or something in that price range

[stoic island]

Hello again

@dawn cosmos and are you set in going 3600? Right now, Intel has some pretty great low end options like the 10400f and 10600k price wise.

(used to be more expensive than 3600, now 3600 price went up, 10400f 10600k price went down)

[dawn cosmos]

If I can swing upgrading these two without upgrading everything else then I would love to upgrade them to a more up-to-date model!

[tight sorrel]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-b550-f-gaming/p/N82E16813119312

id go with this mobo

[dawn cosmos]

Can i send these specs to you via a private message Mr1111? I don't want to spam this chat feed

[stoic island]

Well, it'd still be a cpu+mobo upgrade, just cheaper for better gaming performance. Just throwing options around.

Well, pcpartpicker works if you can have it in a list, DMs are fine if it's too big a block of text and bot wants to eat it

[dawn cosmos]

maybe i can just pick and choose. I'll send the specs right now. And yes I was using pc part picker and that's how I was told the parts I mentioned were the ones compatible.

[stoic island]

Sending the link to the list will be fine.

[dawn cosmos]

okay one second then

[versed rock]

Yeah, just send the link here.

[dawn cosmos]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CgCHj2 so i can't find my power supply on the part picker, its a basic gold 24W i believe. The CPU cooler isn't showing on my list either. But i'm pretty sure its a decent one if i remember right. 1 TB harddrive with external drive. Couldn't find exact part

well now its not even showing ryzen as compatible with my pc?

[wanton cliff]

old parts

[dawn cosmos]

oh no i had to change the motherboard before the processor

[wanton cliff]

reason it isnt going to be showing ryzen as compatible is because your mobo is an intel mobo

[dawn cosmos]

yeah i got it now. This is what I wanted to upgrade to: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C4Jcrr

But by all means PLEASE tell me something that is better!

[wanton cliff]

overspending

[muted patio]

THis is better in everything, and cheaper, just need to find a GPU https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BXztBc

[wanton cliff]

^

he had that list already ready lmao

[dawn cosmos]

yeah but that's a bit out of my price range, I'd end up having to get an entirely new PC at that point

[muted patio]

Uh

The parts you listed were $1300??

[dawn cosmos]

is this the most prevalent stuff here?

[wanton cliff]

yeah

but the PC you listed was $1300 anyways

[muted patio]

This is what you want to upgrade to though??? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C4Jcrr

[dawn cosmos]

no, i was only upgrading the motherboard and processor

no i have the video/memory

i just need the CPU and mobo

[muted patio]

OH

Upgrade the memory too

[dawn cosmos]

sorry for confusion

[wanton cliff]

10400f and B560 then

[dawn cosmos]

i was told to get 2 more sticks of the adata XPG spectrix

so i would do that

[muted patio]

Yeah, grab a kit of 3200 mhz ram

No

Don't get two more sticks

[wanton cliff]

spectrix cringe

[dawn cosmos]

what's the difference?

[muted patio]

speed

and timings

[dawn cosmos]

oo

i actually liked the spectrix xD It was an upgrade from what i already had

[wanton cliff]

spectrix is cringe RAM

[muted patio]

Mmmmm

hang on

[dawn cosmos]

so what's the 3200 mhz ram

[muted patio]

I'm making a list, hang on lol

[dawn cosmos]

Okay, thanks for the help

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/L7qhP6/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-32gb-2-x-16gb-ddr4-3200-memory-cmw32gx4m2c3200c16w are these good?

[wanton cliff]

better than spectrix

[muted patio]

oops

lemme edit again

[dawn cosmos]

yeah i've got the mobo and processor on my newegg ready to go. But I found it at best buy for roughly the same price as well

Damn what has spectrix done to hurt you echo xD

[muted patio]

Yeah, the mobo and processor you've picked are, eh, not good for the price

3600 and X570

[wanton cliff]

gets too hot

[dawn cosmos]

Oh

[muted patio]

10400f faster

[wanton cliff]

and bad die

[muted patio]

and cheaper

[wanton cliff]

looks ugly too

pretty cringe

[muted patio]

This list but with the motherboard from Newegg because it's $160 cheaper https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N3ryTJ

[dawn cosmos]

yeah it does look bad. I was enjoying having that extra RAM at the time tho! But now i need an upgrade because i'm running into issues

[muted patio]

If you want 32 GB ram

[wanton cliff]

me cringing is pretty cringe

[dawn cosmos]

lmao

its better to go bigger than to get 4 smaller ones right?

so 2 16>4 8B

[muted patio]

No

[wanton cliff]

2x16 usually better than 4x8

[muted patio]

Leave room for upgrades

[dawn cosmos]

gotcha gotcha

[muted patio]

2x16 is usually cheaper

also

[dawn cosmos]

are these compatible with the parts i've already got, vintage?

[wanton cliff]

yeah

[muted patio]

No, not the i3 7100

[wanton cliff]

pretty much

[muted patio]

If you mean GPU, PSU and all the other stuff, then yes. What case tho?

[wanton cliff]

going to get repaced anyways so

[dawn cosmos]

i've got a raidmax alpha white

[muted patio]

Doesn't really matter, I see the current motherboard is ATX so yes, it will fit

Yeah, board will fit

[dawn cosmos]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XTwkcf/raidmax-alpha-atx-mid-tower-case-a15wlw

awesome

[wanton cliff]

why is ATX so standard but EATX is... not?

[muted patio]

Because it's extended

and really only for HEDT boards

[dawn cosmos]

so this is my final list I've got

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sHrN7X

i filled in the stuff i was concerned with. Im going to check on these 3 parts now and get them

[muted patio]

Well, don't overpay for themotherboard

Should be $109

[dawn cosmos]

lemme find it on best buy and see if its the same

[worn wave]

Out of stock on Newegg rn

[muted patio]

Ye

[worn wave]

Wait until it's in stock or you could check B&H also

It is not on B&H

[muted patio]

Nope

[dawn cosmos]

tiger direct might have it lemme see

[muted patio]

Tiger Direct is still around?

oof

[dawn cosmos]

lmao i'll pass on that one

[muted patio]

If you don't need a lot of PCI-E slots, M-ATX is a good option also https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157994?Description=B560&cm_re=B560-_-13-157-994-_-Product

[stoic island]

~~https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157978~~ nvm it's on backorder

[muted patio]

Ya, all the good B560 stuff OOS lol

[stoic island]

Steel legend should be good board tho

[muted patio]

ONly $10 over the Pro 4

[stoic island]

eh, 20$ over matx pro4, 10$ over atx pro4

[dawn cosmos]

what's the difference between the two?

[muted patio]

Size

[dawn cosmos]

oh PCIe slots

yeah i see

[muted patio]

One is Matx
