Why u using a corsair icue elite on a 3600?

#

VERY overkill and a waste

autumn wolf Mar 31, 2021, 7:07 AM

#

dont need the h100i and you can probably find a cheaper board and ram

little osprey Mar 31, 2021, 7:07 AM

#

My uncle gave me it

autumn wolf Mar 31, 2021, 7:07 AM

#

whelp

#

fairly dandy then, the ram you could switch out and find a cheaper board if you want and change the storage depending on your needs

#

unless you want corsair mostly everything then the ram is fine and if you really wanna only use icue, then a strix card if possible though thats me being a bad influence

robust lake Mar 31, 2021, 7:09 AM

850w also not needed

autumn wolf Mar 31, 2021, 7:09 AM

Anyone have an idea how many rgb fans blocks and such I can run off one header? As of right now I have 8 to be installed

autumn wolf Mar 31, 2021, 7:11 AM

#

for the case you could also get a better one like a p400a or something

#

for the fans themselves depends on the fans, some can daisy a decent amount and some cant. for the rgb itself, sometimes the rgb struggles through daisy chaining depending on the brand. but for the fans themselves you could just get a fan hub

The 10850k is an absolute deal especially in Europe

sharp tundra Mar 31, 2021, 11:17 AM

#

@frank stirrup why don't you get a 5600x? Cheaper and I assume all you're gonna be doing on this pc is gaming, then you you could upgrade your m.2 to 1tb, and you could probably find a higher-end case or psu

#

@golden forge that's what I plan on doing once I get started, it's risky business though for the builder, unless you send the parts your self and buy them yourself before hand, like you want to do.

sharp tundra Mar 31, 2021, 11:22 AM

#

Otherwise, the buyer wants the pc in hand before they pay, and if you finish buying all the parts, and they then decide they don't want to go through with it anymore, then you as the builder is out how ever much pc cost.

#

Some get around this by asking for a service fee and percentage of the supply fee. Say I charge $75 for service, 10% part markup, and require 25% down(after markup) then it relieves the stress a little, incase that person wants a $2000 pc, I still get $775 to partially cover what I lost.

They don't know what they talking about tbh, they recommended 5600x instead of 10850k even if you don't need the cores in games it's going to make anything else you do a lot smoother and means your cpu has longer lifespan

But tbf idk how trustworthy adata psu's are

But I mean, dood wants a £2000 to play minecraft.

#

I know he said he wants to play other games too, but main game is minecraft I bet, now I respect the 3080 decision, just not 10 core intel chip, it's unnecessary for gaming, and I would even go as for to say it's even a little much for streaming.

#

And the reason I said psu, is because you could get an 850watt plat, or even better, no need to cheap out on a psu, and I would've said ram, but since it wasn't on the list, I figured he already had it or something

I saw a few videos from steve indicating that highly tuned memory with a good mobo could squeeze out a bit of performance. But just for ease of mind, since those numbers were very rarely double digit and recorded on 1440p I should expect an even lower advantage at 1440p since we become more gpu bound correct?

Thats what should happen. They pay for the parts, send them to you, then you ship it out to them when finished. Make them sign legal agreement between you and them, to protect both of you. Like if a part gets broken before it gets there, you don't have to pay for it and if they don't pay you, you can sue them, etc. Could be a very good business.

Yeah, but some people like a finished product before they hand over the money, which I understand, it's hard to tell if someone is just gonna take your money and run, or actually fulfill the order. Sending the parts to the builder would be ideal, but I bet that rarely happens when it comes to trusting someone else with that kind of money. And, the builder doesn't make as much cause they're missing out on the 10% part mark up, and the down payment.

little osprey Mar 31, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

GIGABYTE AORUS 15G XC have 3070 but its for 1800 ig

stoic island Mar 31, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

They're honest about it

sharp tundra Mar 31, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

True

earnest olive Mar 31, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

2 hour battery life is long for a gaming laptop

#

the laptop I just sold had a solid 15 minutes of battery life for browsing

sharp tundra Mar 31, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

Yeah, that'll do it, batteries work better amd longer if they stay at around 50% full capacity

earnest olive Mar 31, 2021, 9:18 PM

stoic island Mar 31, 2021, 9:19 PM

Imo, if you need a laptop for like school or work sure, but if your gaming, rendering, editing, etc. Just get a desktop

10750h gets weirdly low perf in league though

stoic island Mar 31, 2021, 9:19 PM

There is situations where it is necessary, but I know some people just want a laptop for whatever damn reason, even if they're just gonna have it sit on a desk anyways

external cooling
