trim orbit
#

no what

fossil cedar
#

They shouldn't buy 3700z

potent portal
#

Or gen4 for mining rigs since you need half as many lanes per card

trim orbit
#

why

fossil cedar
#

They have a z390 mobo

#

They can just upgrade cpu

little osprey
#

@solar elbow bad its has a aio shuld of stuck with a noctua

open ginkgo
#

Yeah I was thinking about going amd too but I didn't really want to bother buying a new mobo cause I figured it would be more expensive

trim orbit
#

i just said to get a b550 you... person.

fossil cedar
solar elbow
open ginkgo
#

How much is the b550

trim orbit
#

s125t

#

wait what

#

125

open ginkgo
#

Lol wat

little osprey
open ginkgo
#

Oh

#

3700x?

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

and cheaper

trim orbit
#

or get a b450 steel legend

open ginkgo
#

Cause I could get a 9900k for $250-300 if I wait

trim orbit
#

both are good, b550 is just better

fossil cedar
trim orbit
#

yeah but i think amd is a little bit of a sweet spot rn

open ginkgo
#

Ok ty guys, so psu for that and a 3060 ti/3070?

fossil cedar
open ginkgo
#

I think if I had nothing and was buying all new I would go amd too

fossil cedar
open ginkgo
#

Ok

little osprey
fossil cedar
open ginkgo
#

3070 or 60ti

trim orbit
#

yeah mine is a 600 and it powers a 2060 and 3700x just fine

little osprey
#

450 and above

#

for 3070

fossil cedar
trim orbit
#

well you cant really buy those rn

little osprey
trim orbit
#

unless ur rich or willing tolet scalpers win

open ginkgo
#

True

#

Well

fossil cedar
#

Aswasa you never wanna run your psu at 100%

open ginkgo
#

I mean I could just camp drops

fossil cedar
#

I9

open ginkgo
#

It's not impossible

trim orbit
#

yup

little osprey
fossil cedar
little osprey
#

445 watts

#

my pc

fossil cedar
#

Yikrs

trim orbit
#

so, 7 3700x, 3060 ti, 600w psu

little osprey
#

i have a 450

open ginkgo
#

That's kinda crazy

little osprey
#

psu'

trim orbit
#

and b450 steel legend

#

that will cost you under 800

fossil cedar
open ginkgo
#

Ok fair

#

And wat about intel

fossil cedar
#

Wrong ping

little osprey
open ginkgo
#

700 ish

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

yes

#

at the moment

fossil cedar
trim orbit
little osprey
#

intel better

trim orbit
#

facepalm

open ginkgo
#

Guys people can have different opinions

fossil cedar
open ginkgo
#

Its just an opinion

fossil cedar
#

Intels way better value atm

open ginkgo
#

Theyre both good options

#

I feel like a 9900k is better than a 3700x tho

trim orbit
#

well yeah differewnt opinions are fine but when you state them like fact it crappy

#

and anoying

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

my queston

open ginkgo
#

How much for 3700x?

little osprey
#

why do you need a9900 for gaming

open ginkgo
#

9900k?

little osprey
#

yes

open ginkgo
#

I have a 1440p 165hz monitor

fossil cedar
static ravine
open ginkgo
#

Playing apex on high on that is hard

little osprey
fossil cedar
trim orbit
#

i would reccomend an i7 10700k then

open ginkgo
#

Well it's technically z370

static ravine
trim orbit
#

10 gen is nicee

static ravine
little osprey
#

i have a 4790k

fossil cedar
#

Exactly but @trim orbit is saying that my 9900k suggestion is worse value than 3700x and a new mobo lol

open ginkgo
#

Correct

trim orbit
#

well maybe just get a newer mobo and 10th gen cou

fossil cedar
#

There's no point

static ravine
#

9900k and like a 3070 or something is great

#

no point

open ginkgo
#

I mean it's already an upgrade

fossil cedar
open ginkgo
#

Do I really need an upgrade path

#

For an upgrade lol

static ravine
open ginkgo
#

Fair enough

fossil cedar
#

5000*

open ginkgo
#

Am4?

#

Ah ok

fossil cedar
#

So Ryzen 6000 wont fit in b550 board etc

little osprey
#

i need a new motherboard anyway

#

i broke mine

fossil cedar
#

F

little osprey
#

the hdmi port

open ginkgo
#

When does 6000 come out?

little osprey
#

not announced

open ginkgo
#

Ah ok

#

Ok well that's hype

little osprey
#

ok

open ginkgo
#

Talking $300 for cpu, $400-500 for gpu if I actually find one and like $150 for psu?

fossil cedar
#

Probs

open ginkgo
#

Yeah for sure

little osprey
open ginkgo
#

550 watt seasonic

little osprey
#

and 60$ for psu

open ginkgo
#

Gold

fossil cedar
#

Gold is good yeah

#

60 or 70 for 650/750w segotep on Amazon

#

I'd recommend 750/ above tho so room for future upgradability and it means your psu will be more efficient on the curve slightly

cunning knoll
#

hey guys can an evga 3070 ftw3 ultra fit into a corsair 280x micro atx?

open ginkgo
#

Ah ok sick

fossil cedar
open ginkgo
#

Oh wait

#

That is the case lol

fossil cedar
#

That's what they askin lol

cunning knoll
#

yea lol

open ginkgo
#

Thought it was a mobo

#

Mb

cunning knoll
#

it’s a 3 fan 😭

#

bruhhhhh

fossil cedar
#

If you google the cases specs you should see the max gpu len you can put in

cunning knoll
#

it’s a fat case

#

lmao

#

here’s the dimensions

fossil cedar
#

Could be okay just look at the length of the card now

cunning knoll
#

12 inch

#

that would be around 305 mm no?

fossil cedar
#

Yeah

cunning knoll
#

wait here’s the accurate one lmao

fossil cedar
#

Looks like it should fit

desert gulch
#

All you gotta do

#

Is go to case specs

#

Find max gpu length

#

Then find gpu length

fossil cedar
#

That's what they just did

desert gulch
#

Oh ok

fossil cedar
#

Hence the screenshots lol

desert gulch
#

O didn't see max gpu length in ss

#

Max gpu length is shorter than length of case

cunning knoll
#

i think the max gpu length is about 330mm

#

so i should still be good right?

desert gulch
#

Idk

#

I'd go find that in case specs

#

It should have max gpu length listed

cunning knoll
#

official gpu length should be about 300mm but people on reddit have posted theirs with with like a 330mm with a 25mm fan so a little skeptical lmao

ancient wraith
#

@wanton cliff i learned the freezing only happens after awhile of playing the game

fossil cedar
cunning knoll
#

thank you @fossil cedar

fossil cedar
#

Nb

warm swift
#

@stoic island the Commander Pro might be delivered to me either tomorrow or after tomorrow, case not yet :/ maybe like in 5 days

balmy patio
#

yee

#

it's not

#

tier b on the tier list

#

and it's not expensive

stoic island
#

Segotep gp-p is great

open ginkgo
#

poggers

stoic island
#

uh

#

why 9900k used

#

it's just 300$ at MC new

#

You can probably also sell the PSU for more

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

though it looks like 300$ 9900k is gone at MC :(

open ginkgo
#

almost bought it

#

hadn't thought it through yet tho

#

im gonna be watching it to see if it comes back

winter kelp
ripe wedge
#

like that back piece?

winter kelp
#

Yes

ripe wedge
#

not over the square properly?

winter kelp
#

Thats one lined up hole

ripe wedge
#

oh I see now

#

isnt the plastic flexable?

#

kinda

winter kelp
#

The bracket it metal

ripe wedge
#

oh

#

hmmmm

still roostBOT
#
Hans Greteltini#1195 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

winter kelp
#

Weird right

#

Keep getting blocked because bad words

#

Luckily my cooler manual is all in english

#

It says i dont use the bracket for 2011, im using LGA 1151

#

So i use it, doesnt fit

ripe wedge
#

what LGA is it

winter kelp
#

The board itself?

ripe wedge
#

oh

#

yeah its 1151

#

try a different one and see if it fits

#

could be mislabeled

winter kelp
#

Hmm

#

Do you wanna glance at the manual yourself?

#

While i try this

signal gate
#

Yeah iirc intel backplates replace the old one don't they?

#

And if it supposed to replace the old one that looks like amd so could be mislabeled

#

Could be an old way of installing coolers

#

Iirc it should look like this

winter kelp
#

Thats the only one they provided

#

At least for 'intel'

#

The other ones say AMD

#

Ill check the box

#

Yeah i dont have one likr that @signal gate

#

Even in the diagram

#

Im so frustrated rn

languid cedar
#

whats a good micro atx case?

ripe wedge
winter kelp
#

I am so happy right now

ripe wedge
#

they do???

winter kelp
#

Yes

#

I called corsair and the dude was pike

ripe wedge
#

doesnt look like it lol

winter kelp
#

Oh they slide

#

And as soo as i did it i started laughing

#

It literally looks like it doesnt

#

But they do

#

So FYI for everyone if you get a Corsair H115 series AIO the Intel bracket standoff slots slide

vivid isle
#

tryna check your boys list?

potent portal
#

Eww Barracuda

vivid isle
#

sawy:(

#

whats wrong with them

potent portal
#

The like to die. A lot. Like consistently 10% early failures, vs other brands at 1-3%

vivid isle
#

ohhh

#

suggestions for one then?

#

and is 55 bucks too expensive for a 250 gb m.2

potent portal
#

Western Digital Blue I think has a 2TB 7200 rpm

vivid isle
#

ok

rich helm
#

That’s like 500gb ssd

vivid isle
#

oh

#

can u suggest a 250 m.2 for boot?

vivid isle
#

tbh should ima just get a 1tb m.2

#

can someone suggest one?

balmy patio
#

pilot-e

#

$110 for 1tb atm

ripe wedge
#

pilot e is good

#

I have the 2tb

balmy patio
#

yee

desert gulch
#

Pilot e pog

ripe wedge
#

its hecka fast

balmy patio
#

basically a cheap sn750

desert gulch
#

If on a budget you can save money by going mp33

#

Idk how much a mp33 1tb is rn

#

I'd buy it at like 90 ish

ripe wedge
#

its faster than a sn750

#

mp33 isnt as good

#

mp34 is good

stoic island
desert gulch
#

What's the 2tb barracuda run at in terms of failure?

#

The 7200rpm one

stoic island
#

Don't have good data on it

ripe wedge
#

seagate p bad

desert gulch
#

Cause that's arguably the most common hdd in builds rn

stoic island
#

I use backblaze as general idea of the brand

#

But yea

#

I don't think Seagate is as bad as we made it look

vivid isle
#

ima just get a 1tb m.2

desert gulch
#

Yes

#

Pilot e if you can afford it

stoic island
#

Pilot e is great

vivid isle
#

yep

#

it ok?

static ravine
#

yes

desert gulch
#

no

#

i have a little suggestion

vivid isle
#

oki

static ravine
#

What suggestion?

desert gulch
#

10850k is 30 bucks more

#

id go with it tbh

vivid isle
#

do i have to get a better mobo?

#

is there a non k version

static ravine
#

10850k or 10900k are like 30 bucks more

desert gulch
#

10850k works on a b560

vivid isle
#

ok

desert gulch
#

but you cant oc it

vivid isle
#

oki

desert gulch
#

so id go with a cheap z490

#

or you can keep 10700f

vivid isle
#

im almost at max budget tho tbh

desert gulch
#

10700kf may be cheaper rn

stoic island
#

Eh, 10850k stock with b560 is just fine

desert gulch
#

yeah

stoic island
#

No need for z490

vivid isle
#

i could take off the extensions

static ravine
#

overall besides the two things Ryan recommended it was a swag pc

desert gulch
#

im just thinking 30 bucks for 2 more cores aint bad

sharp tundra
#

Does anyone here ever use the Creation Kit? I'm having troubles with it.

stoic island
#

Leave the peripheral budget in there, you'll want to use most of it up

vivid isle
#

yeah

#

ok ill go for it

#

should i take off extensions

stoic island
#

Something like 190$ G241, 50$ Keychron C2, 60$ Model O kinda thing

vivid isle
#

i could just go with an all back one

stoic island
#

No need for cable extensions

vivid isle
#

k

sharp tundra
stoic island
#

So what

#

It's wasted budget

vivid isle
#

could i get a better case?

#

not nessesarily better

#

but a better airflow for a bit cheaper

sharp tundra
#

Oh, I thought he had a budget for it

stoic island
#

Better in what way

#

P360a is great

#

There isn't much higher

static ravine
#

P360a is right on the money

sharp tundra
#

Cough 5000D Cough

stoic island
#

There's nothing cheaper that can compete other than mx330-g air but that isn't rgb

vivid isle
#

ok bet

#

idc ab rgb

static ravine
#

Maybe if you'd want a bigger a bit more upgradeable chassis P400a would be the best choice otherwise P360a is a swag case and it'll suit your needs

stoic island
#

Yes

vivid isle
#

oh ok ill stick with what i have

#

which is better btwn the two

static ravine
#

they're both good

vivid isle
#

ima go cheaper then

stoic island
#

Eh, p360a for ease of use, mx330-g for pure performance

vivid isle
#

and btw the 10850 is not 30 bucks more

stoic island
#

Since mx330-g air comes with 3 fans

vivid isle
#

and theres no non k?

#

is there?

static ravine
vivid isle
#

no pcpp shoing up for it

#

ohhhh

#

ic

stoic island
#

MC cheap stuff

static ravine
#

in the future I'd say shoot for gpu upgrade first

desert gulch
#

mhmm

vivid isle
#

yeahhh

#

ima go with the 10700df

desert gulch
#

1080 still a good gpu tbh

vivid isle
#

*f

static ravine
#

currently 1080 is still good gpu

#

but it being a 10 series means that in a few years its going to be a lower end gpu that wont be able to play the latest games at the desired settings

desert gulch
#

mhm

#

its rly gonna lack in rtx if you wanna do that

#

it doesnt have dedicated cores for it so its gonna struggle alot

vivid isle
#

yeah its kind of a placeholder till i save it

#

up*

desert gulch
#

oh ok

static ravine
vivid isle
#

fansk

static ravine
#

What time do you think would be right to upgrade your gpu

desert gulch
#

when prices are reasonable

vivid isle
#

im not building for a few months

#

yeap

#

thats what i was gonna say

#

wait what is the 5600x msrp

static ravine
#

ah okay so if that is the case get a 3060 ti to go with that build later on

desert gulch
#

300

static ravine
vivid isle
#

ok

#

is it worth it over the 10700f

desert gulch
#

but it has 2 less cores than 10700f

vivid isle
#

ok

#

soley for gaming btw

desert gulch
#

depends on use case

#

5600x may be faster than 10700f in pure gaming

#

idk tho

#

i dont keep up with those benchmarks

vivid isle
#

im laughing so hard rn

#

i went from an i3 build

static ravine
#

Tbh id say keep 10700f

vivid isle
#

to i5

#

10400

#

then 10600kf

#

then 10700

static ravine
#

why up from 10400 to 10600k?

vivid isle
#

then we started talking ab the 10850k 😆

#

over the months as i planned my pc and learned more

static ravine
#

oh

vivid isle
#

ima stay with the 10700

static ravine
#

build is good and will def serve well for years to come

desert gulch
#

yeah id guess a 5600x beats a 10700f in pure gaming

potent portal
#

10700f is a good price/performance as of this moment

desert gulch
#

but im guessing a 10700k would beat a 5600x barely

vivid isle
#

got it

desert gulch
#

in pure gaming

vivid isle
#

and its cheaper

desert gulch
#

mhmm

potent portal
#

5600X for pure speed, best "budget" gaming

vivid isle
#

and doesnt intel pair better with nvidia?

static ravine
#

@potent portal I didnt get to congratulate you on techie

vivid isle
#

yeah good job

sharp tundra
vivid isle
#

oh

#

heard that somewhere

stoic island
#

It doesn't just pair together better

static ravine
potent portal
#

Not any more, it used to be that way

vivid isle
#

k

stoic island
#

There's no pairing giving more performance

vivid isle
#

ok

stoic island
#

Other than AMD doing proprietary things with their GPUs

#

With SAM

potent portal
stoic island
#

Smh

#

@potent portal I was getting to that point

desert gulch
#

sure

potent portal
#

Yeah as I hit enter I saw lol

stoic island
#

But SAM and rage mode shows little improvement so far

vivid isle
#

WHEW

#

IM DONE

potent portal
#

Right, MAYBE 1-5%

stoic island
#

400$ for peripherals? Goodies time?? >:D

static ravine
#

400 for periphs?

stoic island
#

It's a good price

static ravine
#

does that include monitor?

vivid isle
#

yes

#

and keybaord

static ravine
#

oh ok

stoic island
#

That'll fit a monitor, decent keeb, good mouse, decent headset

static ravine
#

I thought just keeb and mouse

sharp tundra
#

Why did you put a $700 gpu on the list?

potent portal
#

Already has it

static ravine
#

He has on hand

stoic island
#

I think they already own it

sharp tundra
#

Ah

static ravine
stoic island
#

G241 for 190$, Keychron C2 for 50$, Model O for 60$, I want to say PC37x for 120$, but if too expensive, maybe like cloud ii or whatever it's called for 100$

sharp tundra
#

I might just pay someone to snipe a FE 3080 for me, lol

sharp tundra
#

Cause I'm either not awake or working during the times 3080s come in stock

vivid isle
static ravine
#

USB or XLR

vivid isle
#

what does that mean

static ravine
cerulean trellis
#

We had a power surge and my monitor started to smoke and we got our electricity fixed and when i turn it on it starts to flicker and a faint smell of smoke.Is my monitor broken?

vivid isle
stoic island
#

Wait

sharp tundra
cerulean trellis
#

ok

stoic island
#

Spend more on the keyboard then >:D

vivid isle
#

and i have my eyes on a mouse

static ravine
#

XLR mics use an XLR port then connecting to dac then to pc

stoic island
#

Keychron K8 maybe

static ravine
vivid isle
#

k

#

lemme put them in the pcpp rq

static ravine
#

iirc ive seen a usb mic thats a bit barebones but it was 35 bucks

#

I heard it was good

sharp tundra
#

I think I know which one ur talking about

#

My friend got one

static ravine
#

I believe it was called the Fifine K669B

vivid isle
#

ok

#

NOICE

static ravine
# vivid isle ok

if you want you can spend an extra 30 bucks or so for a full mic kit from fifine

vivid isle
#

with stand righ

#

right

static ravine
#

the K669B comes with a tripod stand

vivid isle
#

what gaterons are best

static ravine
#

while T669 (kit) comes with boom-arm, shock mount, wind filter, and the little tripod and the mic

vivid isle
#

ill see if i can fit it

static ravine
stoic island
#

Depends on what kind of switch you like

vivid isle
#

i like yellows

stoic island
#

Linear then

#

Gateron reds are linear

vivid isle
#

ok

stoic island
#

If you want to try tactile, that's Gateron browns

static ravine
#

Most people gravitate towards reds

sharp tundra
#

Tf is a Gateron?

stoic island
#

Company

static ravine
sharp tundra
#

Oh

stoic island
#

Eh, I think browns are the most common

#

Linears like reds are just gAmiNg

#

:p

static ravine
vivid isle
#

how much is the model o

stoic island
#

60 I think, wireless is 80

vivid isle
#

ok

#

ill be fine without wireless

sharp tundra
#

I'm still gonna get that fancy k100rgb se with the optical switches.

vivid isle
#

uless i can fit it in

stoic island
#

Lmao sold out

sharp tundra
#

Whatever, you get my point

severe axle
#

sounds like something they would make though

sharp tundra
#

And ACTUALLY

#

It is called K100RGB

sharp tundra
#

Just no SE at the end

vivid isle
cerulean trellis
#

ok so when i turn the monitor on it shuts off to

stoic island
#

Keychron keyboards are nice

sharp tundra
#

Man I can't wait for starlink to be in my area, this is how much progress my Creation Kit download has made in the past 10 minutes

static ravine
stoic island
#

Choose the layout you want

sharp tundra
#

Oh, you guys know Corsair has a 60% now?

stoic island
#

I have a K8 because TKL ftw

vivid isle
#

rllu?

sharp tundra
#

I thought that was kinda kewl

stoic island
#

Corsair just being Corsair

static ravine
stoic island
#

Please tell me it's actually gonna have standard bottom row now

#

Maybe just maybe they'll add hotswap in the future

static ravine
#

Corsair using mx reds or speedsilvers in that board

#

kinda boring switches ngl

stoic island
#

Tho the chances are nil

#

Hotswap is great

static ravine
stoic island
#

Until then, Keychron ftw

sharp tundra
stoic island
#

Tactiles are good

#

Clickies are

#

Ickies

#

@sharp tundra there's also a lot more linear switches

static ravine
#

on a more premium board I'd expect something well premium like some other switches not just cherrys

stoic island
#

Tbh

static ravine
#

corsair pretty much only uses cherrys

sharp tundra
#

True

stoic island
#

Corsair prob never going to use any nice switches

#

Too mass produced

sharp tundra
#

But they Garuntee 150mil clicks

static ravine
#

only other thing is their membrane or their new optical switches

wanton cliff
#

I’m so close to having enough money to afford the K4v2

stoic island
#

One day maybe we'll see like, dunno, tealios or something

#

Y e s

#

@wanton cliff remember shipping tho

#

But y e s

static ravine
#

Tbh Im not saying cherrys are bad

#

Just a bit boring and bland

stoic island
#

Cherry switches are just meh at best

wanton cliff
#

Yay

stoic island
#

Aparently vintage cherry stuff is good though

#

Ah on Amazon

static ravine
stoic island
#

From Keychron it's flat shipping fee

#

Rip

sharp tundra
#

Anyone know if Logitech G560 speakers are any good?

static ravine
#

however they're pricy

sharp tundra
#

$200 is pricey?

#

But it comes with bass

static ravine
#

for desktop speakers its a bit pricy

#

does come w subwoofer tho

desert gulch
#

you get what you pay for

sharp tundra
#

I was bout to say that

desert gulch
#

pay 30 bucks youre gonna get 30 bucks worth of sound

static ravine
desert gulch
#

mhmm

#

the audio nerds here would never pay 30 bucks for speakers

wanton cliff
#

Razer Goliath time

sharp tundra
#

Cause I want something that'll be good so I don't have to use headphones all the time.

wanton cliff
#

That’s what the name of their big speaker is, right?

#

Can’t remember

static ravine
sharp tundra
#

Thas lit

desert gulch
#

i got a z313 from logitech on a decent deal

#

was like 25 bucks

#

i dont use them too often

#

but decent enough to listen to yt or whatever

static ravine
#

I would just buy like some 30 bucks or under speakers for desktop use

desert gulch
#

mhmm

#

id go higher if you wanna use them a lot

static ravine
#

because you wont really need 200$ speakers

desert gulch
#

or want rly nice sound

#

depends on budget

static ravine
#

Unless you want to have a nice open sound

#

because for music most would like to go for headphones

#

but youtube using speakers is fine

desert gulch
#

especially diss tracks

static ravine
sharp tundra
#

I mean, I'll use them

desert gulch
#

you have to listen to diss tracks on headphones

static ravine
static ravine
sharp tundra
#

Cause I'll use them for just music in the room, cause I believe they have Bluetooth, and I'll use them whenever I don't feel like using headphones

#

Even tho my headphones are really comfy

static ravine
#

Then you might as well buy

sharp tundra
#

I was prolly going to anyways, cause it's Logitech, but just needed some reassurance that it would be a good buy.

static ravine
#

those are pretty good after all

sharp tundra
#

So will TVs sometimes not allow for a game to play in a resolution that is outside of the native resolution?

wanton cliff
#

The TV has nothing to do with it

sharp tundra
#

Cause I CANT play FO4 without 4k

wanton cliff
#

How so?

sharp tundra
#

Like I've tried to bring it down to 1440p and it just wacks out

wanton cliff
#

Well that’s cause it’s a creation engine game

#

And the creation engine is known for exactly two things: modding support and being the most buggy and broken engine in existence

sharp tundra
#

Well

#

You ain't wrong

wanton cliff
#

Correct

sharp tundra
#

But I should still be able to play in 1440p

stoic island
#

Not if Todd doesn't want you to

sharp tundra
#

You ain't wrong either

#

Literally FO4 is the only game my 1660s can't do 4k60high

#

Well, it can, just not when I'm in a loaded cell

wanton cliff
#

Not surprising

#

Wait what?

#

1660 super can’t do 4K60 in that game?

sharp tundra
#

Open world is fine

#

Cells take a huge dump

wanton cliff
#

Check the .ini file, make sure the FPS limiter isn’t on

#

For FO4

sharp tundra
#

Where can I find that?

wanton cliff
#

In the game’s files

#

If on Steam, you can right click the game and tell it to take you through the directory

stoic island
#

If the fps limiter is on, it shouldn't limit it in one place and not limit fps in another

wanton cliff
#

Can’t remember what the value is called

#

Would have to look it up again

#

But you need to change a ‘1’ to a ‘0’

sharp tundra
#

What Mr1111 said, of it was on, it wouldn't limit fps in some areas and not othera

wanton cliff
#

Does it ever go above 60?

sharp tundra
#

Well no, because I only have a 60Hz TV

vivid isle
sharp tundra
#

Also, I don't see this .ini file

wanton cliff
#

One sec

#

It’s called Fallout4Prefs.ini

winged lion
#

Is this a good budget build

#

Wait the link won’t paste

wanton cliff
#

Most of the values can be changed from the launcher but some, like the FPS limiter, can only be changed by the .ini file

#

And it’s usually locked to either 30, 45, or 60 FPS

sharp tundra
#

I've seen that folder, but not in the fallout 4 folder

wanton cliff
#

?

#

It’s not a folder

#

It’s a text file

#

Well, .ini file

#

But it opens in notepad

sharp tundra
#

That's what I mean

#

I've seen it, but not in the fallout 4 folder

wanton cliff
#

Where have you seen it then?

sharp tundra
#

Wait

#

It is

winged lion
#

Is it good?

sharp tundra
#

Do you already have the GPU?

#

Or is that what you chose for him?

winged lion
#

I chose that

#

I’m tryna find one rn

#

That’ll work

sharp tundra
#

Dont

#

Way to expensive right now

winged lion
#

I know

sharp tundra
#

Get a 3060ti

winged lion
#

That’s what I was and aiming for

#

For some reason he showed the gpu as msrp

sharp tundra
#

Much cheaper, more available, and WAY better performance

winged lion
#

But I didn’t check and ofc it was sold out

winged lion
#

Thru shuffle or something?

sharp tundra
#

More available new than the 1660s

winged lion
#

True

gritty bear
#

hay guys, can you help me with some new build trouble?

ripe wedge
#

ye

sharp tundra
#

1660s isn't made anymore, only find them second hand

ripe wedge
#

like dell sells em

winged lion
#

So where would I get the card

#

I live near multiple Best Buy’s Abe a microcenter

sharp tundra
# winged lion Know that

What I'm saying is, a new 3060ti is only $400, while a used 1660super is gonna cost you $600-700

gritty bear
#

I am able to power cycle just fine with 850w EVGA, brand new cpu Ryzen 7 x3800, sapphire nitro+, 64 gb RAM, all on b550 MSI WIFI gaming edge motherboard...

ripe wedge
#

is it boot looping?

#

or something

gritty bear
#

however, just tried to power on and smoke came through the gpu...

ripe wedge
#

uhh

#

rip

sharp tundra
#

Well then

ripe wedge
#

id call up the manufacturer or whereever you got it

#

asap

gritty bear
#

yeah. I want to say my gpu just died, but how can I test it?

sharp tundra
#

Nvm

#

I thought you said psu

ripe wedge
#

you could throw it into a spare system

gritty bear
#

can I test boot in the case without using GPU?

ripe wedge
#

if you have one

#

yeh

#

you dont need a gpu to boot

gritty bear
#

I will give that a shot first.

sharp tundra
#

It won't post

ripe wedge
#

just wont show anything on a screen

gritty bear
#

got it

sharp tundra
#

Unless it's intel or AMD IG

gritty bear
#

thx, gonna give it a go

ripe wedge
gritty bear
#

AMD

sharp tundra
#

It'll boot, but no post

#

@wanton cliff I don't see the line for FPS limiter

wanton cliff
#

It’s not called that

#

Obviously

#

I sent a link here

#

Look at it

ancient wraith
#

could ram be my issue @wanton cliff

wanton cliff
#

Idk, try reseating it

#

Computer off ofc

ancient wraith
#

its using more than normal

wanton cliff
#

How much do you have

ancient wraith
#

16gbs

wanton cliff
#

Program might have a memory leak

sharp tundra
#

Found it

wanton cliff
#

80% still normal for games like rust tho

ancient wraith
#

oh ok

wanton cliff
#

With windows and all that

ancient wraith
#

what should my cpu temp be

#

like is 58 c bad

wanton cliff
#

Only start worrying around 85 Celsius, come to us when it’s above 90

sharp tundra
#

iPresentInterval, they could've named it better

wanton cliff
#

Yeah

ancient wraith
#

oh wow

wanton cliff
#

Programming names 02shrug

#

Anyways change the 1 to a 0

ancient wraith
#

so 58 good

wanton cliff
#

Ctrl+s

#

And exit

sharp tundra
#

Done and done

wanton cliff
gritty bear
#

im back.

wanton cliff
#

Cool

gritty bear
#

Nothing at all happened

ancient wraith
#

and what is a bad gpu temp

wanton cliff
#

Same thing

sharp tundra
#

102C

gritty bear
#

it wouldnt even start up in the case...

ancient wraith
#

its 76 c

wanton cliff
#

Core or VRAM?

#

Or whatever else?

#

Also what are you using to check it

#

Cause task manager is dumb and doesn’t do temps for GPU well

potent portal
sharp tundra
#

I just reinstalled Creation Kit, so maybe I can actually use it now

gritty bear
#

just hooking up the entire pc, minus a gpu

ancient wraith
#

umm hw monitor

#

like cpuz

wanton cliff
sharp tundra
#

YES

#

Creation Kit works now yaya

potent portal
#

Well it was more of a "throw as much voltage at it as you can because it's getting replaced today anyway" kind of situation

wanton cliff
#

Ah

#

Still not used to than name tag being yellow

potent portal
#

ikr

sharp tundra
stoic island
#

Smh I've hit ~110c on my 3800x before

ancient wraith
#

is hw monitor decent

#

for temp measuring

stoic island
#

Use hwinfo64

ancient wraith
#

ok i think i have that

#

bruh

potent portal
stoic island
#

Don't do summary

#

@ancient wraith sensors only or whatever it's called on startup

potent portal
#

Sensors only mode

sharp tundra
#

I might do that with by 3600 and b450-m pro

#

Jk

potent portal
#

You totally can, when you move to AM5 instead of selling the old parts

#

Zen 2 does voltage weird though

ancient wraith
#

this show

sharp tundra
#

Imma have to watch some YouTube or something before I start messing with this Creation Kit, otherwise imma end up with flying deathclaws and armless npcs somehow

wanton cliff
#

Use Vortex to mod fallout

#

Not Bethesda’s mod engine

#

Or the creation club thing

potent portal
#

Vortex works well... for things that are already made

ancient wraith
#

whats power reportin g

wanton cliff
#

Oh is he making stuff

#

I thought he was just modding the game

#

Nevermind then

potent portal
sharp tundra
#

I want to tinker with making stuff yeah

wanton cliff
#

DAMN AUTOCORRECT RUINING EVERYTHING

ancient wraith
#

oh ok

sharp tundra
#

I want to add a couple weapons possibly that I really like irl, and maybe create a small quest line or something

wanton cliff
#

Make Halo in Fallout

#

But don’t rip assets from Misriah Armory

sharp tundra
#

Definitely not

wanton cliff
#

Make the covvie weapons in halo

#

Yes

#

This is good

sharp tundra
#

Add the flood to fallout

potent portal
#

I want to make my Fallout into Warhammer, the power armor is perfect

wanton cliff
#

Yes

#

The Flood

#

The Galaxy eating parasite hell bent on eating everything

#

Whom destroyed the entire Galaxy in a mere couple centuries

sharp tundra
#

Yup, And imma add it to fallout😎

wanton cliff
#

Do it and upload it to Vortex

#

That’ll be lit as hell

#

Oooh!

#

Make them replace the ghouls

sharp tundra
#

Or

wanton cliff
#

Or?

sharp tundra
#

I could just make a new enemy

wanton cliff
#

That too but having Ghouls and the Flood in the game would be weird

sharp tundra
#

But they're 2 totally different enemies with 2 totally different lores

#

If I added the flood, there would be a quest behind their appearance in the commonwealth, probably something like a alien ship(not Zetan) crashed in the commonwealth with a mysterious virus that mutats creatures into an infestation

potent portal
#

You'd probably have to do each variant of Flood creature as a separate species

gritty bear
#

welp. good news guys.

sharp tundra
#

Your gpu isn't dead?

gritty bear
#

my GPU isnt the thing that almost caought fire

#

nope, works all good

sharp tundra
#

Was it the psu

gritty bear
#

on the other hand, think i fried my motherboard.

sharp tundra
#

Oh...

gritty bear
#

for my new system.

#

not the old one tho

potent portal
#

Lucky you, MB is a lot easier to replace than GPU right now and you can just RMA the board

gritty bear
#

so I hope the cpu, RAM and all that are salvagable

#

brand new ryzen 7 x3800

sharp tundra
#

Just gonna say, I know this dude my son and all, but I hate this MF

gritty bear
#

agreed

ancient wraith
#

I cant figure out what is wrong with my pc

potent portal
#

In his defense, Shaun was raised by the Institute to have Institute values. It's not his fault he's oblivious to all the BS.

yayayay

if im sitting a little close

#

ok thx

#

how do u ping a section like that

potent portal
#

Just type it out, starting with #, and it will suggest as you type

hexed hull
#

Is this good or bad?

rigid oracle
#

is this a good pre-built

static ravine
#

GTX 650

#

!

rigid oracle
#

or maybe this

#

listen im working on a tight budget

static ravine
rigid oracle
#

i mean do you have any recommendations? my budget is 500 to 530 dollars

rigid oracle
static ravine
rigid oracle
#

is ddr3 still relevant or should i look more towards ddr4

static ravine
rigid oracle
#

i assume thats outside of my budget

static ravine
#

are you able to build one

#

or attempt at building one

stoic island
#

GPU situation too bad

rigid oracle
#

im willing to build a computer

#

got a build?

static ravine
#

do you need the pc rn

stoic island
#

At least a gtx 750 is a bit better than iGPUs

static ravine
rigid oracle
#

but im not really in any hurries

static ravine
rigid oracle
#

ah

#

how much should i spend on a gaming computer

#

i dont want to be overpaying

static ravine
#

Because the time the gpu situation hopefully settle you'd be able to buy a gpu

lyric thistle
#

Buy an old Xeon + mobo bundle, some used DDR3 non ecc, a new WD Blue 3D 500GB, and some RX 570 4GB or a GTX 960 or something

static ravine
#

used hardware is great at these price ranges

rigid oracle
#

used hardware..

#

monaks

#

monkas

static ravine
#

used is probs a better option than those prebuilts

lyric thistle
#

That's exactly what you've been looking at SpaceRat

rigid oracle
#

oh

lyric thistle
#

i5 2500, GTX 750

#

used, used

rigid oracle
#

but i mean the prebuilts are guaranteed to work you dont always know if the used hardware works, at least i think so

stoic island
#

Tbf those are like 7 years old components

rigid oracle
#

ye im aware

stoic island
#

And prebuilt QC can be questionable

rigid oracle
#

it runs better than my computer

#

are these specs worth the 1,000 dollars paid for this computer?

#

i dont think they are lmao

static ravine
#

if only amd apus were good prices now

stoic island
#

I mean

#

4650g is 300$

#

It's not bad

lyric thistle
#

You could sell your Mac and get a bunch of money from that

stoic island
#

I'd prob do a 4650g build and get a better dGPU down the line

#

But if you can't spend more, there aren't a lot of options

rigid oracle
#

what about the athlon 3000G

#

i hear its okay

#

but for my budget it should be good

#

i mean its already far better than what i have currently

stoic island
#

Uhh

lyric thistle
#

Isn't the 3000G too pricey now

rigid oracle
#

100 dollars right

lyric thistle
#

Eugh

rigid oracle
#

its msrp was 50 but eh

lyric thistle
#

i3-10100 should be 115 or so

rigid oracle
#

hm

lyric thistle
#

Way better

stoic island
#

I'd just do 4650g

rigid oracle
#

well what gpu should i use then

lyric thistle
#

Maybe not as great igpu in i3

stoic island
#

The iGPU on the 4650g is fairly competent

stoic island
rigid oracle
#

integrated?

stoic island
#

Yes, right now, the only thing that'd make sense at the price is iGPU

rigid oracle
#

well a few games i plan on playing are csgo, gta v, maybe minecraft with shaders, doom eternal definitely, and maybe doom 2016

#

do you think the 4650g can handle that

#

or the athlon 3000g

stoic island
#

Yes

#

Dunno how well vega 3 does, I'm assuming a lot worse

rigid oracle
#

ive seen it get 30 frames in doom eternal

#

to me thats playable

stoic island
#

Can it really..?

rigid oracle
static ravine
#

45 fps + to me is playable

rigid oracle
#

it doesnt run the best but it works

static ravine
rigid oracle
#

lol

stoic island
#

Ah 720p

#

I might go make a 4650g apu list soon

rigid oracle
#

so what integrated cpu would y’all recommend for my budget

#

it seems like it’s between the i3 and the 4650g

stoic island
#

And 10100 might be uhd620 not uhd630, need to check

rigid oracle
#

my macbook has an i3

#

and it performs like garbage

stoic island
#

1.1ghz dual core....

rigid oracle
#

ok yeah 1 ghz is slow

stoic island
#

A 10100 is 4 core 8 thread, I believe something like 3.6ghz base clock

#

Anyways

#

Ima go make list on mobile now

lyric thistle
#

What's with the vega 11?

stoic island
#

@lyric thistle wdym what's with it

pseudo forge
#

Best gaming mouse for FPS?

stoic island
#

Depends on hand size and grip

pseudo forge
#

I been using the glorious model o but the wire is damaged now

stoic island
#

Wat

pseudo forge
#

The wire ripped on my mouse

#

So I need to get another one

#

Is there anything you should look for in a mouse? To gain a competitive edge

stoic island
pseudo forge
#

Ahhh so it’s just personal preference

stoic island
#

@pseudo forge you need to look for the mouse fitting your hand and not being an office mouse, other than that, it's personal preference

#

Practically all gaming mice now are 1000hz pooling rate and such

#

There's very little in terms of performance you can actually get from going above that

pseudo forge
#

Ahhh I see thanks

#

Wireless or wired?

stoic island
#

Your preference

fading gulch
#

So my cpu temps usually just spike to almost 100c for the first few seconds of starting something intensive(like rendering), and the go down to about 70c. But if I render an animation, it spikes to 100 each frame, which adds up to a lot of time.

#

I'm trying to change the fancurve in the bios, but there nothing in it that has anything to do with cooling

stoic island
#

What cooler is it..?
