ancient wraith
#

i put a new fan on

#

like cause you can have two

desert gulch
#

try without that added fan maybe?

#

ohh

ancient wraith
#

but it was like that before

desert gulch
#

maybe you flipped it wrong way

ancient wraith
#

thats why i added a new one

desert gulch
#

so its pushing air into cooler

#

and not letting it out

#

are you sure there is intake and exaust on that cooler?

ancient wraith
#

logo is facing out

desert gulch
#

should be able to feel with ur hand

#

logo isnt always airflow in some cases

#

id just put hand near fans and see

ancient wraith
#

ok

#

its like one second ind 43

#

then its 35

#

its wierd af

desert gulch
#

hmm

#

so fans are both pushing air towards back of case?

ancient wraith
#

Yeah I just checked

#

I am doing a stress test and its maxed at 73c

#

Is that bad

rich helm
#

Decent

ancient wraith
#

Ok

desert gulch
potent portal
#

Idle is always higher on air cooling, especially if it's a quiet fan curve

stoic island
#

yea

#

aios have the benefit of the pump kinda running 100% at all times

#

but anyways

#

Idle temp doesn't tell you much other than room temp

#

Take your PC into a room that's 10c colder and your idle temp will go down about 10c, it's just how it is :P

#

put some load on it and temps might go crazy

desert gulch
#

same clocks, same voltage, same fan curve

potent portal
#

Then your room is a liitle cooler

stoic island
#

and... 45c idle for him doesn't sound unreasonable if his room was hotter or airflow a bit worse

potent portal
#

37 was the min temp anyway

stoic island
#

also run to run variation, background tasks, etc

ancient wraith
#

my room is cold af

#

i have a sweater and sweatpants on

#

but idk

#

and i have a h510

#

so it all makes a lil sense

wanton cliff
#

H510 keeping all the heat inside the case

#

Not letting it get anywhere else

#

That’s why your room cold

ancient wraith
#

i got it for free

#

my friend gave it too me so i took it

wanton cliff
#

It belongs in a trash bin tbh

ancient wraith
#

im thinking about getting a new case but idk what too get

wanton cliff
#

What kinda money do you want to spend?

ancient wraith
#

under 100

wanton cliff
#

Could get P500a or P400a

desert gulch
#

td500 mesh too

#

i think its 92$ rn

wanton cliff
#

P500a might be $150

desert gulch
#

4000d should be under $100 aswell

ancient wraith
#

td500 is 130

desert gulch
#

nah

ancient wraith
#

the 4000d is nice

#

i mioght just get that

#

is there dust filters

stoic island
#

Td500 mesh is better

ancient wraith
#

my room gets dusty so what case has good dust filters

stoic island
#

@ancient wraith the mesh is the dust filter lol

desert gulch
#

ye

ancient wraith
#

on which

desert gulch
#

td500

ancient wraith
#

ok

stoic island
#

Td500 mesh

desert gulch
#

ye

stoic island
#

Don't forget mesh

wanton cliff
#

Shorten your links bruv

desert gulch
#

waste of time

stoic island
#

No

ancient wraith
#

ok thnx

wanton cliff
#

Takes two seconds

stoic island
#

I take the time to shorten links even when I'm on mobile

#

It just takes like 5 seconds

wanton cliff
#

I’m on mobile rn and I shortened the link

cold sorrel
#

dances I won

stoic island
#

Nicee

wanton cliff
#

Pepega

cold sorrel
#

I have a 3060 on the way!

wanton cliff
#

Dallas won too, asking him about buying it rn

stoic island
#

Biggie poggo

#

@cold sorrel it's time for the build

desert gulch
#

makes a crazy short link

cold sorrel
#

Maybe it ain't a 3060ti, but it is a good GPU!

stoic island
#

Lol

desert gulch
#

whoops

#

xD

stoic island
#

LOL

desert gulch
#

stupid embed

#

here we go

#

now no embed >:)

muted patio
#

mmmhmmm

stoic island
#

@desert gulch next time just use duckduckgo as your search engine smh

muted patio
cold sorrel
#

I know it isn't maybe the most excellent value... but in this market, any GPU acquired for near MSRP is a miracle. It will still beat a laptop 1060 with a dead screen.

ancient wraith
#

will my mobo fit in the case

desert gulch
#

it should

#

unless like EATX lol

stoic island
#

Yea 3060 is quite nice still

ancient wraith
#

GIGABYTE B550 AORUS Elite

desert gulch
#

yeah you good

stoic island
cold sorrel
#

I'm just in actual shock I won. I thought I'd be trying for months still.

wanton cliff
#

What did you win?

#

3060 right?

cold sorrel
#

Yup

wanton cliff
#

Which one?

cold sorrel
#

The EVGA one

wanton cliff
#

Pepega

#

That’s the best priced one too

#

You got lucky

cold sorrel
#

It's 380, but again... in this market that is the best I can do.

earnest olive
#

considering used 2060 supers are going for 600+

#

380 for a brand new 2060 super not bad

cold sorrel
#

More like 390 with shipping costs

earnest olive
#

...and?

stoic island
#

it's still great

#

I don't think you've seen how some ebay shipping are lel

cold sorrel
#

But, didn't have to pay scalper prices or end up buying a prebuilt. (Which I'd begun considering)

earnest olive
#

hmm yes $50 optiplex with $140 shipping

cerulean trellis
#

ok so i got a capture card and when i use it in obs this happens how do i fix it?

drifting garnet
#

I coughed a little

strange swift
#

Does a Phanteks Eclipse P400A PH-EC400ATG_DBK01 Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case come with a USB cord that connects to the motherboard

#

I also can't find the cord that suppose to plug into power led port

junior crescent
#

Would someone mind if they could make a pc build for Gaming at 1440p ultra and streaming, My budget is 2000 Usd

tall flax
#

hey guys

#

i just finished building my PC

#

but i am having big problem

#

No mater what I do

#

I can't control my fans

muted patio
#

Are they 3 pins?

tall flax
#

I don't know what to do

#

yes

muted patio
#

Go into BIOS

#

Find Fan Control Section

#

Set to DC mode instead of PWM

tall flax
#

wait

#

i am confused

#

the thing is

muted patio
#

Where you control your fans there is DC mode and PWM mode

#

DC is for 3 pin

#

PWM is for 4 pin

tall flax
#

what is the difference between a 3 pin one and 4 pin?

muted patio
#

4 pin is PWM control

#

3 pin is DC/voltage control

tall flax
#

OOO i see

#

well you see

#

i got big thing/problem

#

in a way

#

my front three fans are 4 pins

#

they came with the corsair air flow case

muted patio
#

You can still control 4 pin with 3 pin control

#

It'll be fine

tall flax
#

yes but its bigger mess then you think

#

i got corsiar h150i pro xt

#

cooler for my cpu

#

which came with 3 fans

#

for 360mm radiator

#

these fans have 3 pins

muted patio
#

The bottom line is, if you have 3 pin fans, set them to DC mode lol. THe others will work that way too

tall flax
#

but they didnt have rgb

tall flax
muted patio
#

It's not a mess, 4 pin fans can be controlled in DC mode also. The only issue is if you're using a hub. Most of those don't support 3 pin control

muted patio
#

Set BIOS to DC mode

tall flax
#

and the three pin ones are connected to my CPU

muted patio
#

Connected to your cpu

#

?

tall flax
#

yeah

muted patio
#

CPU what

tall flax
#

well can i mean cpu

#

sorry

#

its connected to my watercooler

#

they are connect to the cpu cooler

#

h150i

muted patio
#

Oh

#

That's an issue

#

That needs 4 pin fans

#

Can't to 3 pins on that

tall flax
#

OOO

#

hmmm

muted patio
#

So return them or swap them

tall flax
#

thanks man

#

could i also ask

muted patio
#

Or get a splitter cable and connect themto MB

#

That's an option also

#

Connect 3 fans together and control them from one motherboard header

tall flax
#

but that wouldnt work

#

those three fans

#

are rgb

#

for the front

muted patio
#

RGB cable isn't separate?

tall flax
#

and they are going to connect to my water cooler

#

No its not

muted patio
#

Ah, so it's the 5 pin all in one cable weird thing then

tall flax
#

its a 3 pin

muted patio
#

Then RGB is separate yeah?

tall flax
#

I am not sure now

#

the cables bit weird tbh with u

#

I am so frustrated

muted patio
#

Pic then?

tall flax
#

okey

muted patio
#

Or fan model?

tall flax
#

thanks for the help btw

muted patio
#

yw

#

Gotta dip for a few, wife leaving for work. I'll be back tho

tall flax
#

oo actaully

#

i realised there is this led hub

#

with three connections

#

it must be the fans infront then

#

and these three cables that i attached must be the fan control

#

but like you said

#

3 pin to 4 pin wont work here?

#

@muted patio

muted patio
#

Ah those arent standard fsn connectors.

#

Those should be controllable.

#

And 4 pin

tall flax
#

okey

#

well you see

#

the three fans that are behind the case

#

are the actaully original fans that came wiht the cooler

#

but because they where not rgb

#

i thought i could just put the radiator with the rbg fans infront

#

and because the radiator is too big to put at top

#

and put it infront

rich helm
#

Those Corsair fans

tall flax
#

all of the fans are corsair

#

the front three rgb fans came with the case

#

so i thought okey

#

ill just plug in the 3 pin from the three fans in the front into the water cooler

#

and just put the other 3 fans that came with the cooler into the system instead

#

but the thing is now

#

I cant control any of the god dem fans

#

bios wont change any thing

#

icue fan controller wont work

#

ONLY GOT DEM THING I CAN CONTROL IS THE DEM RBG

#

AND THIS PC SOUND LIKE ITS TAKING OFF EVER SECOND

#

and its freaking water cooled for dem sake

#

i can provide more photos and what case it is

#

if anyone likes to help me

#

the case is Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow

strange swift
#

My memory ram rgb won't light up when I start the computer

stark nymph
#

hello guys i wanted to get the z490 strix e gaming motherboard but it is out of stock. what other motherboards do you guys recommend for someone who will not be over clocking

#

i have a i9-10850k

#

and the pc will be used for gaming/streaming

muted patio
#

If you're not overclocking, get B560 then. Fast ram with no overclocking support

stark nymph
#

oh ok thank you i’ll check it out

potent portal
#

If you're not overclocking there's not much point to a k chip, save some money and get 10850 non-k.

#

Or even better 10850f

stoic island
#

wait

#

those exist?

#

I only know a -k varient @potent portal

#

ka is stupid

#

we don't talk about ka

potent portal
#

Do they not? Huh they f every other model I just figured

timber crescent
#

Debating between a 10900kf ($330)or a 5600x($300) have to get new motherboard either way. Primarily for gaming and doing computer science classes in college (junior currently haven't done anything that took more than a few seconds) what are opinions think it won't matter to much as they have simular gaming preformace.

stoic island
potent portal
#

I mean... They have f every other model. Fun typo.

stoic island
#

@timber crescent Will you be doing more intensive code compiles in the future? If so, 10900kf, otherwise 5600x can pull ahead slightly in games if that's all that matters to you.

stark nymph
timber crescent
#

Currently unsure if I end up doing heavy compiling plan to focus on robotics and ai.

stoic island
#

Chromium code compile scaling:

#

If you do, 10900k is an easy pick

#

Since they're fairly close, although 5600x pulls ahead a bit, in gaming

#

Although 10900k also a good bit higher power draw, don't forget that bit

timber crescent
#

Motherboard wise do I need to focus on certain specs?

stoic island
#

Well, depends on the chip

timber crescent
#

The 10900

stoic island
#

If 10900k, what'll be your total budget?

#

It'll make more sense for a z390 board for OCing if you have the budget for it, if not, a b560 board with decent VRMs will do

timber crescent
#

Wanting to stay around 550 for chip and board.

stoic island
#

the rest is up to you feature wise, like how many usb ports, ethernet, wifi, etc

#

Lots of room then

#

I'll grab options

timber crescent
#

I have been looking a the msi z490 mpg with wifi.

little osprey
#

you pretty much get everything with z490

stoic island
#

Well, gaming edge wifi is just decent relative to other z490's, maybe on the lower end

#

looking at vrm list atm

little osprey
#

i have msi z490m gaming edge

stoic island
#

yea

little osprey
#

i got mine for 130usd

stoic island
#

the z490 gaming carbon wifi, which supposedly has the same vrm layout as gaming edge wifi, has a note of "Quite warm, crappy heatsinks"

#

@timber crescent Do you need wifi?

timber crescent
#

Yes if need be I can get a nic

little osprey
#

always a nice to have

#

allows freedom of location

stoic island
#

eh, imo it's on a need basis, it's either you have access to ethernet, or you need wifi

timber crescent
#

Thanks

#

They have on for 500 or would getting one of those be a waste as I won't have pci gen 4?

stoic island
#

z590 board is fine if you want to

#

I went z490 because we have good data already, too lazy to read through the reviews specifically for z590 :P

timber crescent
#

No vrm list for 500s yet ok forgot they where newer

#

Nvm I am an idiot they have a start to it on the next page in the sheet

stoic island
#

Just missing a lot of the data

#

there's like 3 boards that has data

desert gulch
#

on techtok

stoic island
#

lol

#

@desert gulch just flex some data they don't understand and you'll be good

wind osprey
#

Just crafted a new GPU anti-sag support out of an AIO thumbscrew and 3M rubber grip tape on both sides for friction and scuffing prevention. It's the cylinder looking thing between the fan and the 3070. So far it works great and won't budge at all unless I lift the card slightly to remove it.

Should I be worried about it falling into the QL120 fan any time soon, barring a major earthquake in my area?

autumn wolf
#

if theres enough pressure between the 2 holding that then you dont have anything to worry

#

if its fairly loose then ye, kinda worry

wind osprey
#

It won't budge at all if I try to move it on its own lol, it will only come loose if I pull the 3070 up

autumn wolf
#

then you dont have to worry about it falling

wind osprey
#

Good pointr

#

It is much tighter than a previous anti-sag support I had before I put the bottom fans in

#

Which I could probably knock down with a flick if I wanted to

#

Thanks guys

stoic island
#

Shouldn't actually be an issue even if it did fall

#

prob not

wind osprey
#

The FTW3 3070 does not come with a sag bracket. Even if it did, I would have to remove the expansion card flap from my case to fit it in.

#

The card is not heavy enough to create a black hole with its mass but is heavy enough to sag a little, so that's why the support is there xd

Hi, im new to this and I want to get a PC and a monitor for just school work and playing games like genshin impact, league of legends, minecraft and roblox. My budget is $1300 usd, any recommendations?

potent portal
#

Convinced into doing a first time build now ^

thick moss
#

Yeah :P

#

Ah my bad didn't change that

stoic island
#

1 1 4 0 0

#

maybe

#

I'll grab a decent prebuilt for comparison

#

Uh

potent portal
#

Don't be nervous about it also, you can watch a couple YouTube videos and you'll see how simple it is. Literally you just snap everything in place, add a couple screws. I'm on mobile so no list handy.

stoic island
#

I mean 11400+3080

#

not 3060ti

#

meh

#

depends on the person

#

some are still getting the BB FE drops

stoic island
#

It's for a comparison of what prebuilt gets you at 1300$ versus building itself

#

I'm also making one because might as well

merry crypt
#

can someone make me a 600-700 pc build list please im not good at this type of stuff

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff but does it offer wifi at 110$

#

:P

thick moss
#

Wifi

stoic island
#

also, @wanton cliff which asus board lol

#

b550m-a wifi doesn't have flashback button

#

welp, b550m pro vdh wifi offers wifi and flashback button at 110$, nothing can touch it atm

muted patio
#

No diagnostics tho, I hate that Gigabyte board

stoic island
#

what

#

msi you mean

#

@muted patio the b550m pro vdh wifi should have debug leds

muted patio
#

ONe of em doesn't

#

One of the VDH's doesn't and it sucks

stoic island
#

the HDV probably doesn't

#

that's the asrock board

muted patio
#

No, it's a Gigabyte board that doesn't

#

I remember

stoic island
#

ds3h

muted patio
#

Might be that one then

stoic island
#

ds3h is the gigabyte low end board without like anything

#

just board

muted patio
#

Ah, ye that one

#

The one everyone picks because it's cheap.

#

Then comes here when issues and can't do anything -_-

stoic island
#

wait wait wait

#

the ds3h has flashback?

#

WHAT

muted patio
#

Ye

#

but no diagnostics XD

stoic island
#

smh

#

no debug led

#

and you add flashback

#

ok

#

dunno man

#

dunno

thick moss
#

wait so are the two links you provided still valid?

stoic island
#

yea, veered off into side convo

#

b550m pro vdh wifi still find, has flashback and diagnostics

thick moss
#

this is out of stock so i just wait for it to be back in stock then buy the parts?

stoic island
#

Well

#

it's there with a good amount of budget left free for you to find a card

#

no u sara

#

I'm going to leave it to you

#

well I'm getting off first

#

all my games look grainy

desert gulch
#

most ppl dont need more than 1tb

ancient wraith
#

i just thought it may fix it

potent portal
#

System bios? They tend to do a few bugfixes a year at least, few more for important updates like agesa.

desert gulch
ancient wraith
#

any idea what could cause grainy in game graphics

desert gulch
#

dont fix it if it aint broke

potent portal
#

Bad cable or loose connection usually

ancient wraith
#

its both monitors and i have tried other cables

potent portal
#

Or port, that happens too

desert gulch
#

radeon or nvidia?

ancient wraith
#

nvidia

potent portal
#

Have you tried DDU?

ancient wraith
#

umm the newest

#

idk ill check cables

#

should i change gpu ports

#

ok any thing else i should try

potent portal
#

Is it just one game or all of them?

ancient wraith
#

all

potent portal
#

DDU in safe mode

desert gulch
#

did you change any settings in nvidia control panel recently?

ancient wraith
#

no

desert gulch
#

for example, radeon's adrenaline has an image sharpening thing where it can make stuff grainy

ancient wraith
#

g sync

desert gulch
#

Could always try a full restart on pc

potent portal
#

DDU deletes settings too if it was a corrupted setting

ancient wraith
#

wtd is ddu

desert gulch
#

full restart takes a minute to do

#

and may fix it

potent portal
#

Display Driver Uninstaller

desert gulch
#

if its a simple software bug

ancient wraith
#

where would i get ddu

potent portal
#

Give me a sec I'm on mobile

ancient wraith
#

ill see if its fixed

potent portal
#

Go to safe mode and run that app, check all the boxes related to your gpu

#

Then you can go back to normal mode and install drivers again

Is this a good build?

desert gulch
#

theres a handful of things id change

simple oracle
#

What GPU should I aim to buy (lol wish me luck) with the current build I have (the AMD Ryzen 5600X)? I currently use Google's CoLab for my Machine Learning (it's great, they give you like $10K GPUs to compute on remotely, for free), but it'd be great to have an offline option. Really conflicted as to whether I should be trying to get a 3070 or a 3060 (the latter has a lot more VRAM).

jagged ember
#

3060ti is generally better

#

unless your workloads involve buttloads of vram

muted patio
#

Even then TI still probably better due to smaller VRAM bus on the 3060

simple oracle
#

but they're not all of my workloads, so..ugh...choices lol

hm, vintage would probably know more about this than I do lol

700~

cold sorrel
#

Ouch

halcyon turret
#

yea a 1050ti in a 700$ build sucks

rich helm
#

160 mobo is the main concern here

halcyon turret
#

ye

rich helm
#

Z390 for locked chip is oof

#

Can you send the link @halcyon turret

halcyon turret
#

ye

cold sorrel
#

And why a 9th gen Intel? That's old at this point.

halcyon turret
balmy patio
#

nah bruh

halcyon turret
#

ok can you make a good list then?

balmy patio
#

yeah sure

halcyon turret
#

thx so much

rich helm
halcyon turret
#

Cool thx

balmy patio
#

and also @halcyon turret what's gonna be the use for your pc?

blazing aurora
#

for the most part 10th gen is really well priced

#

10100 and 10400 in particular

balmy patio
#

11400f is also nicely priced

#

about $10-15 bucks more than the 10400f and it offers up to 30% more perf 😎

potent portal
#

@cold sorrel What was your budget for the CPU, RAM, and mobo?

halcyon turret
balmy patio
#

ahh ok

balmy patio
#

was that his current list?

#

or the list he was planning on buying

halcyon turret
#

Current list he is still panning he is very new to building

balmy patio
#

i see

#

had a friend like that who bought a 3900x, used the stock cooler, bought a h510 and didn't even add any extra case fans

#

it got very hot very quickly 😳

balmy patio
halcyon turret
#

but imma change the cooler

balmy patio
#

why?

halcyon turret
#

cause he has the budget i changed it to a 212 evo

balmy patio
#

how much does it cost?

muted patio
halcyon turret
#

oh

balmy patio
#

^ yeah, outdated

halcyon turret
#

really

#

nvm then

muted patio
#

Vetroo V5, Gammax 400, ID Cooling SSE 224XT all cheaper and better

jagged ember
#

Vetrooo

potent portal
#

212 Used to be top dog for budget but now it gets outperformed by stuff half the price

jagged ember
#

Yep

balmy patio
#

yee, don't buy it unless it's like $10-15 ngl

jagged ember
#

Gammaxx keeps my 3600 on almost all core boost at 82 degrees in like 29 degrees ambient

#

Plus humid

#

Drops down to around 79 if its colder and dryer

potent portal
#

29 C ambient? Do you not have AC?

jagged ember
#

I do

#

I just decide not to turn it on until later

humble iron
#

is there anywhere to get notifications when the newegg shuffle goes live? ie discord etc.

jagged ember
#

Can't u sign up for email notifications

potent portal
#

Yes but they're awful at actually notifying you

humble iron
#

i understand, is there any discord servers that someone knows of that'll notify you

jagged ember
#

O ic

#

I do not know of any

potent portal
#

Even the Twitter page doesn't always update like they say

humble iron
#

i checked the twitter and it said nothing about yesterdays shuffle

#

i missed it, and i desperately need a card lmao

potent portal
#

I wonder what the admins would think of adding a self-assigned role for shuffle notice ping?

jagged ember
#

Hmmm

#

Mike get on it

humble iron
#

thats what i was thinking

#

it would be amazing

#

that would also limit the people since theres no email notifs, only people who join the newegg discord will get a notif if they select the role

potent portal
#

They could probably set the role so only people of a certain rank or higher can ping it too

sick arch
#

So I’m trying to pick a motherboard for a pc imma use for gaming and possibly recording. For VPN obviously high is good but how much do I really need? And how much do I need to go towards the RAM compared to the amount going to the CPU?

potent portal
#

What do you mean for VPN? You'll be running a VPN server?

sick arch
#

Oh hold on. VRM*** my bad

#

Typo

potent portal
#

Ah ok that makes more sense

stoic island
potent portal
#

What processor are you planning on using?

potent portal
sick arch
#

Intel i9 10900k

balmy patio
potent portal
sick arch
#

Thanks. I was actually just looking at a similar one. The MSI MEG Z490

potent portal
#

Oh stock drops does Shuffle notice? Good to know

rich helm
#

Yeah notification usually 10-15 minutes after it starts but yeah

potent portal
#

That's plenty of time, nice

cold sorrel
potent portal
#

Well unless you need extra cores for whatever reason there's not much need for anything more than a 5600X or 10400f, I'll pull some parts up

humble iron
muted patio
#

There isn't one

potent portal
#

On stock drops they mean

humble iron
#

yeah, im trying to find the role on stock drops and its not in the roles notif channel

cold sorrel
#

I do know I don't want to go $2k, because I'm pretty sure my mother would murder me if she knew I spent that much. (The stuff I bought last year I won't count against the budget for this year. Monitor's already started to pay for itself since I had to use it for my laptop after the screen died over the weekend.)

potent portal
#

Looks like most of the midrange Intel boards are currently sold out, looks like AMD it is

rich helm
#

Make sure you are looking at us ones

humble iron

#

For shuffle at least

potent portal
#

A little more context would be good. You're selling a 3070? What % rep does your account have, and how many reviews? How many things have you listed this month?

cold sorrel
#

Which memory are you looking at?

potent portal
#

Ah, yes ebay has had a lot of problems with stolen accounts being used for fraudulent listings so it probably got flagged as suspicious

#

Purchases don't count, only seller rep

cold sorrel
#

Yeah, since the price difference is so small.. might as well go for it.

potent portal
#

It's like $5 more than the ripjaws I was also looking at with the same timings

muted patio
#

Gskill tyupically has slower subtimings than Ballistix

cold sorrel
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DdtHt8
That's the list I made with the stuff I already have (well, didn't bother listing the mouse and keyboard) plus the M.2 I was considering from all the chatter I've been listening to since coming back to this server.

stoic island
#

@cold sorrel need the rest of the list..?

potent portal
tough kettle
#

not sure about the gaming plus for that price

#

it's just a b550 a pro with r gee bee

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

pcpp has been screwy for me, it doesn't display prices unless I click each individual item

tough kettle
cold sorrel
#

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about. I do need WiFi, until I can figure out a way to run an Ethernet cable to the router. (Which would require me convince Mom that running a cable is a good idea, optimally being allowed to put a hole in the wall to shorten the distance run. Router's in the living room, my bedroom shares a wall with it.)

potent portal
#

Other boards may be just as good for cheaper or better for same price

muted patio
fossil cedar
stoic island
#

@cold sorrel btw what'll be the budget for rest of list?

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

Most of the B560/H570 motherboards are out of stock so I went AMD

cold sorrel
#

Look, with the shortage right now... I took what I could get.

muted patio
#

So, kind of a moot point

cold sorrel
#

won the shuffle yesterday for that 3060

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

What'll be the budget for the rest of the list...?

fossil cedar
#

I'm on mobile so didn't see the purchased

muted patio
#

Its OK

potent portal
#

@cold sorrel Keep entering shuffles and see if you get something better, you could always resell the 3060 for more than you bought it for anyway.

cold sorrel
#

Well, it ended up being nearly $400 for the GPU. I think last year I was willing to go up to $1600 total, but would rather stay under that. (I have a case, keyboard, fans, mouse, and monitor already so don't need to buy those.)

#

Might have to wait a bit for the 5600x to come back in stock on Newegg/Amazon, though. (The Wal-Mart listing shows as in stock for MSRP, but when you click its being scalped for over $400 bucks.)

stoic island
fossil cedar
potent portal
#

Yeah you won't need to wait too long for it to restock

cold sorrel
#

And down the line I might get a better CPU cooler. But the stock cooler should be okay for a little while.

fossil cedar
#

Yeah for the first year and a half of my build i kept the stock 3600 cooler to save money, then upgraded

potent portal
#

If I thought you needed a cooler I would have put one on the list. It might be nice for overclocking later but you won't need to until you get a better GPU.

cold sorrel
#

I plan to set most of the lighting in the case to purple and leave it. I'm not planning to do anything real crazy right now.

desert gulch

Ooof

#

Random psu cable on flooor??

balmy patio
#

lmaoaoa

fossil cedar
#

Yikes

#

Just put the psu cable in a cupboard r sum tho don't even need to strap it lol

#

My cables used to be all over floor but recently fixed with some of these

stoic island
#

What are those

potent portal
#

Look like furniture tie downs?

fossil cedar
#

3m sticky things on back for cable management but no velcro that dies

#

The plastic thing slides

#

It's v nice

#

No velcro wear and tear

stoic island
#

interesting

fossil cedar
#

Lol

fossil cedar
# stoic island interesting

Yeah i got like 3 from work(before covid summer/holiday job) where they had redone the floors in the computer labs so we needed to put em back and they were making upgrades and getting us to cable manage as well

#

All we used was those they v nice no idea what they're called tho

#

Oh no

#

I haven't watched yet must do now

little osprey
#

Best used gpu for 150?

fossil cedar
#

Rx 570 probs

#

If not try 480/470

little osprey
#

Bet

fossil cedar
#

If worst goes to worst you can get an r9 380 for around 75 i believe

little osprey
#

SHEEEESH

#

I was looking at a gtx 770 for 100

#

But I might change my mind

#

Ik ik

#

It's on par with the 1050ti iirc

fossil cedar
#

R9 380 is equivalent to gtx 960 rx 580 bought same as 1650

Why random sata power cable on the floor?

#

Hello all

#

Trying to figure out something

#

I’m in the wrong channel once again

#

But anyways

#

I’m trying to figure out if I can use the monster led strip that’s 4pin and control them with my new motherboard?

#

It comes with the connector from motherboard to led plugin

potent portal
#

What motherboard? It'll need the 4 pin RGB header

hot tree
#

B450 gaming pro carbon max

#

It comes with the rgb header thing

potent portal
#

Yes it has 2x 4 pin headers and 1x 3 pin header, Mystic Light will control it

hot tree
#

I’ve gotta figure out how I will make the custom pc I’m doing work

potent portal
#

We're here if you have any other questions

hot tree
#

For this build I’m doing a dell XPS 630i case

#

With the b450, r5 3500, 16gb ram, GTX 1650

#

Oh and it has lights on the front too

#

This case with everything windows it as it sits right now is 53 pounds

potent portal
#

Dell likes to make things proprietary so make sure that you get a new power supply (yours might be 12v only) and make sure it will fit in place, and make sure there's no weird connectors for the front panel stuff.

hot tree
#

It’s got a evga 750w inside now

#

Instead of dells

potent portal
#

Ah you're okay then

hot tree
#

But if I have dells 750w psu if it has the right connectors for the board can I use it ?

#

So far it has the correct ones for the b450

potent portal
#

Yes but I wouldn't, protections tend to be bad on OEM units

rich helm
hot tree
#

Spending that much just to get a 2gb card lol

rich helm
hot tree
#

Ah

#

Fair enough

rich helm
#

So he would just need video output

desert gulch
hot tree
#

I have a got 710

#

Gt

#

One hdmi output

rich helm
#

Yeah if i did get this pc I probably would

#

Or gt1010 if they release it ever

desert gulch
#

how many outputs and which ones would he need?

rich helm
#

Idk he probably would only have one ultra wide

desert gulch
#

hdmi?

rich helm
#

Probably

potent portal
#

I helped a buddy move stuff and found a couple GPUs gathering dust, a 750ti and 1050ti. I'm going to test and clean them then sell them probably, unless another friend could use the 1050ti. (No, I will not be selling it here)

desert gulch
#

so i can run a bridge across my 5700xt to 1050ti

#

nvlink time

rich helm
#

Hmm

#

That sounds cursed

desert gulch
#

it may be

potent portal
#

Nah it'll totally work, you just use the 1050ti as an encoder and dedicated physx

desert gulch
#

yeah, im talking about a physical bridge lol

rich helm
#

What is cursed is 800 dollar 6700xt

potent portal
#

Most definitely cursed

#

MSRP is what, $480? They be scalping their own cards

rich helm
#

Decided to just not enter the shuffles for 6700xt anymore lol

#

After winning one and deciding even if I scalped it I would make less than 100 bucks profit

#

Pre scalped

potent portal
hot tree

🤧

potent portal
#

Ah yes, the inverted form factor

cold sorrel
#

Also, was there a reason you guys put an 850 watt power supply in the build recommendations for me? Does the 5600x really need that much, or is it future proofing so I can upgrade later?

It's a 3060.

Just a quick how to video on doing a BIOS flashback for anybody upgrading their X470/B450 board to the newest BIOS without a compatible CPU in order to use the new Ryzen 3000 Zen 2 chips.

That is actually the cheapest one I think

so on pc part picker if it doesn't have the price next to it does that mean it's out of stock?
