Went the way of the dodo bird

dawn cosmos
#

that's what i was told too lol

stoic island
#

Actually, the only difference between the mATX and ATX Pro4 I can see is 1 less PCIe x1 slot

dawn cosmos
#

protection plan is always worth it right

stoic island
#

ehhh

dawn cosmos
#

if the only difference is PCI slot then it should be fine

stoic island
#

Imo, if it's DOA, you'll be able to figure that out within the 30 day return window, if you have issues with it later, you can contact manufacturer about a RMA

dawn cosmos
#

Okay

#

yall get commission for these purchases yeah?

muted patio
#

No

dawn cosmos
#

RIP

muted patio
#

dawn cosmos
#

Oh sick

#

muted patio
#

Pretty much XD

dawn cosmos

#

hi

wanton cliff
#

hallo

muted patio
#

Workstation for school or office?

mild axle
#

could you help me get a pc under £600 for a worstation without a GPU

muted patio
mild axle
#

maybe not THAT cheap 🙂

muted patio
#

Yo usaid under $600

#

The motherboard price isn't listed there

#

That will bring it to $520 ish

#

Motherboard is out of stock

mild axle
#

£600 is about $830

muted patio
#

if it's just a workstation though for office or school with no GPU and not gaming, could always save a few bucks

wanton cliff
#

wrong currency symbol

muted patio
#

I know exactly what it is lol

mild axle
wanton cliff
#

we were thinking of the wrong currency

#

I was at least

mild axle
#

ok

wanton cliff
#

and vintage too since he gave you a $600 list

muted patio
#

I mean, this one is $800 but motherboard and case are out of stock

muted patio
wanton cliff
#

I see

muted patio
#

Just don't see the nee to spend $800 for a workstation that won't do games or anything

wanton cliff
#

10400f?

#

as in no iGPU?

#

he edited it lmao

muted patio
#

Did you expect me not to?

wanton cliff
#

nah lmao

#

forget what I said

#

why has the Pro4 been sold out so much?

muted patio
#

Cuz cheap and good

wanton cliff
#

i've even seen that particular board scalped for $270 (and sold for that much) quite a few times

mild axle
#

it might do some gaming @muted patio

wanton cliff
#

so... GPU time?

mild axle
#

oh ihave a GPU

#

an rtx 2080

wanton cliff
#

ok

#

then do you need an iGPU?

mild axle
#

nah

wanton cliff
muted patio
#

a 2080??

mild axle
#

ye

muted patio
#

No

#

That PSU not big enough lol

wanton cliff
#

mighta been nice to know

#

sure it is lol

#

I know someone who runs a 2080 and 3600x with a white rated 500w PSU

#

Thermaltake smart or something

muted patio
#

Doesn't mean you should?

#

Whatevs

mild axle
#

imagine, i could sell on ebay and buy a 3090 :/

wanton cliff
#

mhmm

mild axle
#

great for workstation use 🙂

#

and a.i stuff

wanton cliff
#

here

#

better PSU

#

the Segotep one in the last list was not the safest/greatest for a 2080

mild axle
#

muted patio
wanton cliff
#

multi channel spam

#

/s

mild axle
#

what would be a decent system for an rtx 3090 blendewr

wanton cliff
#

5950x

#

minimum 64gb 3600mhz

mild axle
#

please put it on pcpartpicker

#

🙂

wanton cliff
#

that sounds like an order

#

anyone know how many fans the 5000D comes with?

#

or front panel clearance?

mild axle
#

nah

balmy patio
mild axle
#

maybe under $1500

#

excluding GPU

wanton cliff
#

heh

mild axle
#

i will be getting an RTX 3090 no matter what

little osprey
#

3090 Blender wuuut

#

Are you making a massive mesh

balmy patio
#

for how long will you be using the system as a workstation?

little osprey
#

Blender works just fine, on even massive meshes on a 3070

mild axle
#

AI as well

wanton cliff
mild axle
#

please may you make it on pcpartpicker UK

wanton cliff
#

cant you remake the list on PCPP UK?

#

takes a good few minutes to make a list you know

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff they need ya to make a new list based off uk prices

wanton cliff
#

I dont know UK prices

#

or exchange rate

stoic island
#

While you can just type uk. In front of the link to convert it, lists that get switched over is wack

#

Don't need exchange rate

#

Uk.pcpp uses gbp

wanton cliff
#

ballistix stayed in USD

#

thats fine

stoic island
#

I think I'll just go and make one xD

wanton cliff
#

im so tired rn

stoic island
#

I'm like 2 hours from going on break so I feel like I'm done with everything

wanton cliff
#

you know that feeling when you are just kinda done and start to do things that you know are rash and not good but you do them anyways?

stoic island
#

Yep

#

Many a 3am pcpp lists I have sent

#

@mild axle so, 1500gbp list not including 3090?

wanton cliff
#

the RMx looks weird

#

kinda long

#

the 1000w one

#

HXi as well

stoic island
#

oof the psu prices are wack

wanton cliff
#

mhmm

stoic island
#

revolt pro 1000w fine tho

balmy patio
stoic island
#

afaik 5900x shortage is as bad in the UK as it is in the US

#

so

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

I choose 10900k

balmy patio
wanton cliff
#

10850k is poggers

stoic island
#

Aorus pro should

wanton cliff
#

10900k is unpoggers

stoic island
#

eh

#

370gbp or 400gbp

#

might as well go for the higher boosting clocks

wanton cliff
#

fair

stoic island
#

afterall there was enough budget for me to go fancy and get a galahad 360mm

wanton cliff
#

how fancy

#

I just went for a Dark Rock Pro 4

balmy patio
#

i just went for a u12a smh

stoic island
#

eh

#

u12a nice

#

but eh

balmy patio
#

looks bad

wanton cliff
#

mhmm

balmy patio
#

i hope the black version doesn't disappoint

desert gulch
wanton cliff
#

5800x

#

coulda gone higher tbh

desert gulch
#

keep it pretty chilly?

valid yoke
#

@signal gate What GPUs are those?

signal gate
#

A 1060 and some radeon hd lol

valid yoke
#

Ah

#

I would have put my Vega 56 in mine as well, but there isn't enough room for both cards

#

What are you doing with the cards?

signal gate
#

Nothing rn thing doesn't turn on lol, probably mine

#

Definitely need more ecc though

valid yoke
#

Yeah, that's what I'm doing with the 3060, as well as using it for upscaling with my Discord bot

valid yoke
signal gate
#

Yeah

valid yoke
#

How much do you have?

signal gate
#

I think 4 gigs and I'm not even sure if it's ecc so could be the problem

valid yoke
#

Ah, ok

signal gate
#

Only a 4 core xeon

valid yoke
#

Yeah, mines a E5-1650 V3, so 6 cores, 12 threads

#

Not much better

signal gate
#

Lol

valid yoke
#

Though 128GB of ECC in there

signal gate
#

😳

valid yoke
#

I had 2 64GB sticks, so I just put them in

signal gate
#

If I actually want to get it working I could

#

LOL

#

How do you just have those

valid yoke
#

You should, might as well mine, free money, covers the phone bill or something

signal gate
#

Yeah

valid yoke
signal gate
#

Oh wow that's nice

#

I also get free stuffs

valid yoke
#

Yeah, lots of cases

#

Something I need

#

I have hardware, but nothing to put it in

signal gate
#

Lots of core 2 duos

sharp tundra
#

I was looking at mods in the in game menu, lost connection to Bnet, and them crashed.

stoic island
#

lmao

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, I love fallout. Actually just beat the game for the whatever time now, and decided I'll finally do a minutemen ending, I had to take down the entire institute, with no stimpaks. It was terrifying.

wanton cliff
#

heh

#

I remember I had to do the arcjet mission with no stimpaks

#

scary

sharp tundra
#

Oh that's cake walk

#

But dude, I hate fighting anything that resembles a human in FO4 because they don't know how to stay tf still.

#

Synths, humans, ghouls

#

Hate fighting them.

#

Oh that brings me to another thing, I finally found a game my 1660s won't 4k60 high,

#

Lol

signal gate
#

It shouldn't be that hard to find for a 1660

brittle tinsel
#

Fedex says my package is expected by tonight at 8pm local, but that’s in less than 6 hours and fedex site doesn’t even say the package is in Florida, it’s been in transit for 36 hours from Maryland to Florida

#

Should I stay home waiting on it or is delivery unrealistic

cursive wharf
#

They have rockets that they can steal, they can deliver quickly. Don't worry.

sharp tundra
signal gate
#

Kek

cursive wharf
#

Tho, realistically it's either someone being lazy to change from "on transit" to "in city whatever" or times are being whack

sharp tundra
#

People being lazy, and then them blaming it on CoViD

signal gate
#

Covid added extra air resistance that is slowing the whole process we are very sorry

sharp tundra
#

I hate that companies blame covid for EVERYTHING

#

But they do it cause they know they'll get a free pass.

muted patio
#

NOt like shipmesnts have increased 10 fold with Covid because people ordering more things

sharp tundra
#

Like, "Hey man, I ordered my pizza 2 months ago, and still haven't had it delivered"

"Oh, we're terribly sorry, but due to covid, we decided to cancel your order amd keep the money."

signal gate
#

But they also probably have to limit the amount of people in the facilities (usps has always been limited kek snail mail) so that probably doesn't help

#

Anything purchased on the us should have the option of same day shipping just with a scalable charge

wraith heron
desert gulch
#

wont work

#

not even the same socket

#

yeah you need a socket 1151

wraith heron
#

Thanks, i'm trying to update my rig since it's been awhile.

desert gulch
#

yup np

#

id keep current mobo if i were you tho

wraith heron
#

I can't, it's not supported anymore and one of the rams sockets has a mem leak.

desert gulch
#

hmmm

wraith heron
#

native HDMI ports fried too

desert gulch
#

what form factor?

#

atx?

wraith heron
#

Hero Maximus VIII

desert gulch
#

ok so atx form factor

wraith heron
#

Atx I think, haven't looked at it in awhile

desert gulch
#

yeah its atx

wraith heron
#

Mid tower

desert gulch
#

mhm

muted patio
#

10400F and B560 TBH

desert gulch
#

hi vintage

#

you think thats better than a new mobo for 6600k?

muted patio
#

Yeah, 10400f beats 6600k

desert gulch
#

whats a matx 1151 board go for?

wraith heron
#

100 to 300 I think?

muted patio
#

That's going to be Z170 chipset

#

Prices all over the place

#

Cuz not made for years

#

$400 gets you 10400F, mobo and ram. And a nice speedy upgrade as well

#

Actually, $350

wraith heron
#

I also need a upgrade to a Type A and C port. Fiance's an artist and needs some support for her wacom 1 tablet. I have a Gtx 1050 but i also need a Native Hdmi that works for split display.

#

I have a set of XLR8 DDR4 ram 2666Mhz, and an old red G skill set. 32gigs in total. 24 atm cuz of the memory leak

muted patio
#

WDYm by memory leak

#

Also, 2666 slow by todays standards

desert gulch
#

yeah 3200 c16 is where its at for intel atm

wraith heron
#

I mean allot of the time i run out of memory for programs/apps. Figured out that it was one ram socket doing it when i tried installing all four sticks.

#

Got to a point where it couldn't boot until i removed one of em on that specific port.

muted patio
#

Ah, that makes sense

#

i didn't understand the leak part, just a faulty socket

wraith heron
#

It's a ship thats floating at least 😅

wanton cliff
#

Vintage PFP change

desert gulch
#

yes

wraith heron
ancient wraith
#

which do i need too buy

muted patio
#

Uh, is that malware bytes?

#

don't buy anything, use the free version and Windows Defender

ancient wraith
#

it says the trial is gonna end

#

dont i need too buy something

stoic island
#

Yes, after trial ends, you can still use the scanning for free

#

It's just no more active protection in terms of blocking website things

ancient wraith
#

oh ok

#

so why get premium

stoic island
#

They call it real-time protection, but basically just blocking websites with malware, and not letting you download malware from websites

ancient wraith
#

sound like i should buy it tho

stoic island
#

Good adblocker like ublock origin should already do that anyways :p

ancient wraith
#

oh ok

#

do i have too do the scans Manually

stoic island
#

Oh and I think premium let's you schedule scans, but you only really need to scan once in a while anyways

ancient wraith
#

ok

#

thanks

signal gate
#

windows defender 👀

stoic island
#

:)

muted patio
#

WOrks just fine unless you're doing silly things that you shouldn't be

still bay
#

yo @wanton cliff @muted patio (@'ing u guys bc u helped me) so whenever im downloading something or sometimes its random, i hear my (what i assume is my hdd) like moving

#

like i dont care too much about the noise

#

i just want to know if thats bad

#

its gotta be the hdd

muted patio
#

That's normal

#

It's writing data

still bay
#

ok ty

desert gulch
#

yeah thats normal

stoic island
#

HDDs have spinning platters

little osprey
#

I wonder is 11700k really worth 400$ 🤔

muted patio
#

Spinning platters and moving heads

desert gulch
#

id honestly get 10700kf, its like 260 rn

muted patio
#

Well, not that we know of anyway. Real tests haven't been done yet

little osprey
#

Is this where I come for help... lol

#

Cuz my computer won’t boot into bios and I can’t figure what’s going on 😪

vagrant olive
#

is it normal for my fans to be making a kind of like almost gurgling sound, its somewhat infrequent and its not that loud and temps are fine but its kind of weird
im worried it might be scratching against something

#

@little osprey yeah you can ask here, ignore the fact that im trying to get help for something else lol

little osprey
#

NEVERMIND IM A TOTAL IDIOT LMAOO

vagrant olive
#

xd

little osprey
#

I was like “why the hell isn’t it booting into bios” I plugged the Fricking display port into the MOBO and not the GPU LMAOOO

ancient wraith
#

is there any tools too verify all my drivers cause im having some in game issues

desert gulch
#

nvidia or radeon?

ancient wraith
#

nvidia

desert gulch
#

hmm idk for nvidia

ancient wraith
#

in game my audio and game freezes and like my audio go like errrrrrrrr

#

like lags i guess

ancient wraith
#

anyone

little osprey
# desert gulch no

like its same price as 10850k 🤔tbh i want to buy 10700kf too but that z590 mobos looks so hottt

little osprey
balmy patio
#

if it wasn't a g cpu then 😳 funny moment

little osprey
#

I am curious tho why is it when I plug the fan cable header into the aio port like I’m supposed to it says cpu fan error? I switched it to the cpu fan port but it’s not supposed to be in there is it?

#

It makes the error go away at least but i dont know if that’s proper

exotic idol
#

Hey guys

#

So I am facing a dilemma

#

I can’t seem to get my graphics card to go in the slot

#

On the left where the grommet should be is some sort of standout that doesn’t let the bracket in all the way

#

I can send a picture

little osprey
#

Usually you have to pop it open like the ram slots and then it’ll click in

#

But maybe you already tried that i dont know

exotic idol
#

Yeah I opened it and it goes in only a little

#

It doesn’t go in all the way

#

Any thoughts?

little osprey
#

I’m not 100% sure what I’m looking at here

exotic idol
#

I’ll send a better pic

#

It’s the space between the mobo and case

muted patio
little osprey
#

Ahhhh I see now

exotic idol
#

What’s the issue?

#

This is the last thing in the build and I can start installing win10 and drivers

muted patio
#

Ohhhh, I read up

#

Check the tab at the bottom of the GPU to be sure it's perfectly straight

#

The metal one that fits in there

exotic idol
#

Ohh

#

It is slightly bent

little osprey
#

Yea I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit

exotic idol
#

I have removed the screws, but there is a little retention clip

#

I want to get just the IO shield

#

So I don’t damage anything when I’m flattening it out

muted patio
#

That part IDK about, I've never taken one off. Should just be all screws

exotic idol
#

It’s like that

muted patio
#

Ah yeah, it is a little bent

#

Probably why having issues then

#

It should just unscrew from the card itself

exotic idol
#

There’s a screw under the card and I don’t think I could get it out without unscrewing the entire panel

muted patio
#

Ohhhh, i see now yeah

exotic idol
#

Could I bend it back to place without damaging the card or removing the shield?

muted patio
#

Absolutely, just take your time and be careful and you can do it

exotic idol
#

What can I use?

muted patio
#

I would say a small crescent wrench and a pair of pliers

#

Like this, I use them to bend metal all the time

exotic idol
#

I’ll see if I can find one

muted patio
#

Or pliers

#

Or both

exotic idol
#

I found this

#

Would this work?

muted patio
#

No, that won't work

#

Needs to be able to grip the metal

exotic idol
#

Oh ok

muted patio
#

something like these?

exotic idol
#

Lemme see if I can find some

ancient wraith
#

can anyone help me

exotic idol
#

@muted patio

muted patio
#

Possibly, it's a bit overkill so just be careful!

exotic idol
#

I found these

#

They’re a bit tiny but could they work?

#

@muted patio

#

Installed, thank you!

muted patio
#

Sorry was dinner with my wife. Good job!!

muted patio
exotic idol
#

frank stirrup
ancient wraith
#

like four times and reinstalled my graphics driver

#

no not really

#

umm

frank stirrup
#

Ok so install msi afterburner

#

And use the heads up display function to keep an eye on cpu usage, cpu temp, cpu speed, gpu usage, gpu temp and gpu speed

#

And play the game for a while

ancient wraith
#

m gpu gets too 80 c

frank stirrup
#

80 c is fine

ancient wraith
#

cpu gets too 50 c max

#

usually 45ish

frank stirrup

But that’s not usually something you need to do

frank stirrup
#

@ancient wraith

Ok

#

Do I exit wallpaper engine even

#

Or is background stuff fine

frank stirrup
#

Quit each and every program except app center and bios util

frank stirrup

#

What about this

#

I'm scared

frank stirrup
#

Yeah now just wait 5 mins

#

go drink water

#

stay hydrated kids

ancient wraith
#

My pc restarted

#

I think

#

I've seen the eagle 3 times is that bad

#

I'm ba k in my pc

frank stirrup
#

Make sure to go into bios and re enable XMP

brittle tinsel
#

If an aio as a leak with it leak before building the rig and powering on?

ancient wraith
#

Wait

frank stirrup
#

bios update restores the settings to default

ancient wraith
#

How do I go into bios again

ancient wraith
#

Nvm

frank stirrup
brittle tinsel
# frank stirrup huh?

If an aio is damaged will it visibly leak without putting it in a rig and powering it on

ancient wraith
#

Is this even the right thing

frank stirrup
brittle tinsel
#

Oh I see now lol sorry I’m on mobile and autocorrect is kicking my ass

ancient wraith
#

Oops what now

frank stirrup
ancient wraith
#

Did I mess up bad

frank stirrup
#

I would recommend connecting the headers to the motherboard and testing it without putting it on first

frank stirrup

#

But won’t the water leak from where the heatsync is supposed to sit on the cpu?

#

I thought the heatsync was opened bottom to move cold water across the top of cpu

#

Wait how would that work with thermal paste lmfao I think I’m tripping

ancient wraith
#

hey @frank stirrup what was the other stuff you wanted me too try

#

should i actually do this

frank stirrup
#

and install them

brittle tinsel
brittle tinsel
#

As general rule, not if it’s damaged

frank stirrup
#

so no

brittle tinsel
#

Ah ok

brittle tinsel
#

Is $500 for a 1070ti (used “like new”) high priced? I mean that’s close to a 30 series cards msrp

#

I’m looking for a card better than a 1060 3gb for around $200-$300

#

Which I don’t think is realistic right now

lyric thistle
#

Msrp of like 450 usd

#

Should, without a shortage, be in that 200-300 price range I feel like

#

Maybe a bit higher up to 400

#

500 isn't a great price

vapid bay
#

is this good?

brittle tinsel
vapid bay
#

owh f

#

most likey gonna buy a used 1050ti lol

brittle tinsel
# vapid bay is this good?

In terms of psu, motherboard, cpu, aio, and case doesn’t look bad, all that other stuff I have no idea so maybe someone else will be more informed in this case

#

Also $60,000 in your currency is insane which currency is that?

#

Ssd, fans, thermal paste and monitor also look good.

vapid bay
brittle tinsel
#

I don’t know currency symbols I’m sorry

#

Roubles if I had to guess

vapid bay
#

P 60k is around $1.2k

brittle tinsel
#

Ah ok

vapid bay
brittle tinsel
#

Ah ok, I should have figured with the Philippine case

vapid bay
#

the case is from a local brand

brittle tinsel
#

Yeah

vapid bay
#

$35 mesh atx case PogU

brittle tinsel
#

Damn

#

The mesh atx case I’m getting is $200 including shipping

#

Without shipping it’s 170

vapid bay
#

it's not that accesible for other countries so yea it's v nice

#

and yea it has a vertical mount slot that doesn't make sense

brittle tinsel
#

When I went to your cases website it said out of stock, did you manage to grab one up?

vapid bay
#

no the case isn't selling on their site anymore

#

just manufacturing for the shops

brittle tinsel
#

Ah

#

Man I feel like I’m playing whack a mole with pc parts with everything being out of stock

vapid bay
#

i like the tecware forge too but yea i'll change it to it lol

brittle tinsel
#

Finally grabs the aio and cpu now just more whack a mole with the rest

vapid bay
#

already has fans

#

1x120mm and 2x200mm fans lol

#

like this but the shop didn't specify if it's rgb or not but anyways, i'mma change ram to rgb one to compliment this lol

#

if not rgb, better so i can see the polygonal mesh panel better

little osprey
#

435.61$ must have an ssd (not hdd)
At least 4gb ram (8gb preferred)
Warranty is a damn must
Must have amazons name in the transaction thingy
No scams, must have refundable things, return policy
and yeah thats it

#

help me find a laptop with these

#

i live in the UAE

fossil cedar
#

Lol a pls would he nice jeez

rich helm
#

So… what you are saying is find me a chrome book on Amazon?

#

@vapid bay looks pretty good. AIO is kinda overkill for that cpu but I don’t know availability for coolers in the Philippines.

That’s what got me by until now

It can’t be that bad

TBH I would cpu encode rather than use 1000 series encoder

brittle tinsel
frank stirrup
frank stirrup

frank stirrup
brittle tinsel
#

My old rig fried it’s self

frank stirrup
brittle tinsel
#

But at game performance no!

#

?*

#

Like the cost is game stability

#

And I’ve heard encoding with the cpu isn’t as high quality as with a nvidia encoder

fossil cedar
#

3900x has 12 cores you'll be fine cpu encoding

#

Nvm i thought you said 5900x

#

But 3900x should still be okay

brittle tinsel
brittle tinsel
#

Can’t afford one

#

I’ve heard 1650 super and up have the same as 2000 series

#

But those are sky high prices right now

fossil cedar
#

Yep 1650 super does

frank stirrup
#

1000 series non super gpu encode is big frame drop

fossil cedar
frank stirrup
fossil cedar
#

Yes that's what i thought, i said 1600 as in 1600 series ie 1650/1660

brittle tinsel
#

Anyone know of any close to msrp 1600 or 2000 cards?

brittle tinsel
#

Rip

#

And they said “2021 iS gOnNa Be A gOoD yEaR”

rich helm
#

And a 1000 series graphics card would definitely be the limiting factor when playing any game

#

I doubt you’d see anymore than like 40-50% cpu usage when playing any game

#

You would have tons of headroom to do cpu encoding

brittle tinsel
#

It got bad if I tried

rich helm
#

If you aren’t using nvenc gpu encoding is going to be trash

brittle tinsel
rich helm
#

Yeah warzone 60fps would be kinda difficult with a 1060

brittle tinsel
#

Mainly streamed tarkov and siege

rich helm
#

But cpu encode wouldn’t limit performance

brittle tinsel
rich helm
#

With or without cpu encoder running the game will struggle a bit because that’s a huge bottleneck

#

3900x is a pretty good cpu so I doubt you would ever see worse frame rates while gaming because of cpu encoding unless you had a 2080 or better I’m guessing

brittle tinsel
#

4gb gigabyte rx 570 to be exact

rich helm
brittle tinsel
#

Asus 1060 3gb

rich helm
#

When you play currently with your intel chip, is the cpu or gpu the one that’s the limiting factor

brittle tinsel
rich helm
#

Oh yeah the 3900x won’t bottleneck

#

You might not be able to get 60fps on high but on medium you could probably manage

#

Medium low ish

#

the 3gb of vram would limit you I believe in higher presets

brittle tinsel
#

I’m totally fine with lowest settings available I have played that way on all games for 4 years on my old pc

#

Only reason the psu Burned up is I didn’t know it had a bottom vent and it clogged up and that was it

#

(It was my first pc and I didn’t want to open it and break things, I’ve learned a lot over that 4 year period though)

vapid bay
vapid bay
#

but i placed the gte v2 before that lol

frank stirrup
frank stirrup
frank stirrup
#

I record at medium preset and run the game at 50fps average on my system

#

at low presets in warzone and anti aliasing upped to high

frank stirrup
#

3 gb gddr isnt really enough

static ravine
#

3gb is pretty small amount

long dagger
#

anyone who has a mini pc how much does it weigh

fossil cedar
long dagger
#

can i get a ball park with a 2 pound gpu aircooled

desert gulch
#

depends on case too

#

id guess 25-30 ish

#

could be heavier depending on case and stuff

#

it def aint as portable as a gaming laptop tho

desert gulch
#

Mhmm

#

That's why I went on the light side

#

I'm sure you could make it to 50 lbs with a chonky enough case and everything

cursive flare
#

is the ryzen 5 5600x better than the r9 3900x? for gaming and everyday usage?

vagrant olive
#

looks like 5600x is slightly better

#

dont quote me on that tho i literally just searched 5600x vs 3900x and watched the first benchmark video

#

for gaming at least

#

i have a 5600x and it does amazing for me with all my work

vagrant olive
#

but if you're doing very heavy workloads then 3900x has more cores

#

imo get 5600x

fossil cedar
#

5600x is faster for gaming but if you have a 3900x don't downgrade to a 5600x

vagrant olive
#

^

#

wym downgrade lol

fossil cedar
vagrant olive
#

ah

#

yeah its more just what ur gonna be doing

#

if its more gaming oriented, 5600x

#

if more heavy workload, 3900x

fossil cedar
#

Yeah, if you already have a 3900x tho don't bother buying a new cpu for at least another 2 years especially if you would replace it with a ryzen 5 but if you dont already have an amd motherboard you can get an i7 10700k for roughly same price as 5600x and if you live near a micro centre you can get a i9 10850k for 300ish

Nvm I’m just gonna leave this to a professional here, I’m not knowledgeable on the coolers and stuff, I went with a 3900x and an arctic freezer, that alone was $600 and msi tomahawk another $170, now I gotta get case fans and stuff, so I’m not the person to help on this

Im sorry bro

#

And that’s about all I know I didn’t research everything else because I needed the 12 cores for the work I do

fossil cedar
# jaunty nacelle

R5 3600's are same perf as i5 10400 and it's about 50 cheaper, unless you already have the motherboard would recommend the 10400

balmy patio
#

3060 for 500 bucks smh

muted patio
#

I'd change everything but the case, PSU and GPU

#

10400F, B560 MB, keep the ram, Mushkin Pilot E NVME drive

#

And an SSE224XT or Gammax 400 cooler

balmy patio

or 1k including the price of the 1660ti

Ye, 980 pro was quite the letdown. Dont know if 970 pro is EOLed or not but eh. mp600 Pro (not to be confused with non pro) and 4plus (not to be confused with 4 non plus) I believe are fastest, with SN850 second

#

Hello all, does anyone know where I can find this particular hd mounting bracket? Its for a Eluna 242v case.

potent portal
#

Looks pretty standard to me for a 3.5/2.5 drive

inland ledge
#

True, but I can seem to locate them via search. The mounting bracket simply slides into the drive-bay and clicks into place. It has small pins near the tabs that locks the bracket in place. squeeze the tabs inward it slides out.

#

I suppose its considered tool-less. Though, 2 screws are needed to attach the hd to the bracket on either the 3.5/2.5 type drives.

#

Unfortunately, there are no markings on the brackets.

potent portal
#

You're right, I've seen that design bracket with so many different kinds of cases but it's turning out to be harder to find than I thought. I'll look at case manufacturer sites for "replacement parts".

#

@inland ledge Were you planning to use this with another 2.5 inch drive or a 3.5?

inland ledge
#

At the moment, another 3.5.

potent portal
#
#

That looks like it will fit

#

That link 😫
Sorry I'm on mobile atm

LOL...thanks for the links will look into them...didn't think I would have to work so hard for these mounting brackets. LOL

its now showing its available lol

rich helm
#

On Newegg?

tulip dragon
#

so i can use the pilot e in both slots for my motherboard?

rich helm
#

Yes, you can buy two and use one in each slot

#

And either keep one as a boot drive and one as a game drive or raid 0 them together

tulip dragon
#

well i am not going to format since i am already using a solid state

#

so i will just use them in raid 0 as a gaming memory

rich helm
tulip dragon
#

yup

rich helm
#

Personally I would transfer the os to one of your nvme ssds

#

Because it would be much faster and os should be in the fastest storage

hallow grove

Just dont mess up your pc while doing that. I had a friend who had to reinstall windows via flash cuz he screwed up

hi anyone know why my pc is suddleny having loads of lag spikes in games and is slow loding yt vids??

fossil cedar

That sounds like an internet issue

potent portal
#

Reboot router/modem

#

If that doesn't work unplug/replug cables

sacred turtle
#

i tried that and its still laggy i think its hardware or software because my gfs pc is fine

Try update your WiFi/lan drivers

potent portal
#

Also run virus scan

Malwarebytes scan, does better at detecting things. Free version is fine.

Another thing to try is running "netsh int ip reset" from command prompt to reset network stack

reboot after

But I'd have nowhere to put it.

Motherboard if you're using ethernet, Wifi card if wireless

sacred turtle
fossil cedar
#

They're having random crashes by the sounds of things too tho

sacred turtle
fossil cedar
potent portal
#

If possible I'd narrow down the hardware, swapping parts for known good ones, starting from RAM

sacred turtle
potent portal
#

If it's not the RAM, SSD, GPU, or CPU, then it's definitely the motherboard

#

I check in that order personally

sacred turtle
#

i also put all my suff on my gfs mobo and it was still the same so yh oooooof

potent portal
#

Might be SSD, have you tested that?

sacred turtle
#

yh i swappped my side and main builds ssd but still laggy

potent portal
#

Are you able to swap the CPU?

sacred turtle
potent portal
#

And you said it's the same problem when you swap to another motherboard?
If that's the case then the only common factor is the network connection

sacred turtle
potent portal
#

I'm stumped then. You've swapped out every piece of hardware. You've reinstalled Windows. I've got no ideas left so I'm calling for help from @muted patio to see if we missed anything.

I can only think of a driver problem, I’m very inexperienced with this kind of stuff. But I know that my brother had a laptop that had a bad driver on it. The only fix was installing the new driver . But like you said you updated all the drivers .

It’s gotta be a hardware problem, right?

70-80C

@potent portal did you try a BIOS update?

potent portal
#

yes

wanton cliff
#

What exactly is the problem with YouTube?

#

It’s just buffering a lot or low quality or what?

sacred turtle
#

buffering

wanton cliff
#

So

#

Is it an Ethernet/WiFi problem?

potent portal
#

Happens on both wifi and wire

sacred turtle
#

my cpu is at around 1ghz

wanton cliff
#

Could it just be a problem with motherboard PCIe lanes?

wanton cliff
#

That’s low

sacred turtle
wanton cliff
#

You happen to have a separate LGA 2066 mobo lying around?

sacred turtle
potent portal
#

Is the GPU on a riser? That could also affect things

wanton cliff
#

If it’s buffering that would be a CPU problem I think?
