I use synchredible
very nice program; just gotta drag the ads off into a corner so they don't bother you
I used macrium
Gets the job done
Cloned ~300GB of stuff on a 1TB drive onto my 500GB ssd
Resizing the partition was a little finicky, I had a small small portion of the drive left over that I couldn't manage to allocate for the partition that should've been able to be allocated
Annoying but not the end of the world
Ouch
i have the worst specs ever
I have medium tier specs
it kinda sucks because it was good a while ago
Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 2060
16gb DDR4 3200mhz CVP Ram
B550 Tuf Gaming Plus
512 GB SSD
decent nuff
Doesn't suck lol pretty good for mid range
Thats still good lol
My goal:
Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 3060-3070
16gb DDR4 3600mhz
B550 TUF
2x 1tb SSD
whatever cvp is
My goal is a dedicated gpu lol
corsair vengance pro
3060 is like 5% max over a 2060 not worth 3060 ti tho
But tbh wait for 4000 series at that stage
3060ti maybe worth
Nah it's a lil better than 2060s
because dat 2080 pog
but 3060 not a big upgrade
better than the 2080
Still not worth the upgrade
It's like prolly 15% better than a 2060
something like that
eh
if I'm there I'd rather get a 3070
tbh
I hear it can work fine with a 3600
is that true?
Yeah
good
I'm happy with my current PC though
it can run some games at up to 300 fps
which is nice
Yep I've a 3600 and 3070 
Dang I cant send youtube links...
hell yeah
Well Marc made a video with that combo :P
Who?
ScatterVolt
honestly
I find it funny
I've never had any cooling problems
everything works at a steady temp
the highest my CPU gets to is like, 50c
Do you play at 1440p?
because of high graphics and cpu intensive work
1080
and my gpu gets to similar
Really? Does the 3600 limit you a ton there?
Nah
It can do 1440p fine
A bit yeah but cuz i play esports
3600 could even power a 3080 on like 1440p tbh
Lol I have a 3600 2070s
Same
I can get 100+fps on apex if most stuff is set low on 1440p
But want to buy keeb instead
Tbh only gpu i could get, wanted a 3060 or 3060 ti but couldn't get
3060ti was your only choice let's be fair
Is there really that much difference between 2070s and 2080s? I get 180+ uncapped on high settings in apex
With my 3060ti
I guess so?
I can try run apex on all high
Aw but not now I've got a bunch of tabs open
Will affect numbers
No i had an r9 380
Hm that's totally normal
hm
Actually that's very nice under load
I usually got really low temps before
That's fine
ye im playing Cities Skylines
which you know
very CPU intensive
ill try another game
Yeah but i can't get founder edition in Ireland because no Nvidia site or whatever for Ireland and usually they just send you through the uk site but brexit and they probs wouldn't ship outside UK anyway
oh yeah btw
i only have the stock wraith cooler
im looking to upgrade that to smthn else (mainly for cosmetic purposes)
So i almost had a evga 3060 xc3 for like €350 from evga but accidentally refreshed page
3600? Get a id cooling se 224xt, vetroo v5 or gammaxx 400(although gammaxx looks meh so the other 2 look better)
gammaxx gt gammaxx bk etc are other gammaxx varients that are still good
Vetroo is pretty i prefer the id cooling se 224 tho
GTE v2 isnt bad either
No it's okay i just think the fans on the gammaxx coolers look cheap
I would spend the extra 10 bucks or so on the arctic freezer 34
Id cooling or vetroo look better imo and better at cooling
Also id and vetroo have rgb fans
Idk about how good they are at cooling, but looks i prefer the freezer 34
Oh well, i mean i dont really like RGB lol
I mean Freezer 50 got a bad review
Vetroo rgb, id cooling has a white varient and a rgb varient
Lmao
👀 how evga is holding off for elite memebers for 24 hours on new products
I didn't get an evga card, i almost got an evga 3060 at launch
might be able to get a new card when a new onec omes out now
o rip forgot to change channel
but i might do that now
wait why u need 3060 when u got a 3070
Because i tried to get the 3060 before i got my 3070
o wait also i'm a elite member so i can compare price that pc parts picker won't show for that 🤦♂️ ill have to recheack my build now
oh ok
Also don't need 3070 performance
What ?
save money wait nevermind There are currently no ELITE Member products available. Please check back later.
vetroo has white too
30 usd Vetroo V5 performs similar to se 224 xt
Ohh i didn't know that I've only seen the rgb one
i think also ets t50 axe i dont remember
i meant white rgb
u can turn the rgb off if u dont like it kekw
Ohh i meant like white fan
Can you turn off the rgb tho? Thought it wasn't argb and there was just a power cable on the cooler
i built my first pc today! took 3 hours
lets see it
u can just not plug it in lol
1 second
its argb
i will post in the build pics
Ahh i thought it was just regular rgb
Nice
i panicked when putting in the GPU since it wasnt fitting
until i realized there was a small rubber case on the connector
not the best parts but miles ahead of what i had
otherwise it was really fun
Nice
gpu is 1660 super, cpu is i7 9700k, 16gb ram, mb is msi z390 a pro
case is diy skyline 06wr
Nice
only "rgb" is the fans. didnt spend extra on that
Fair rgb gets expensive
oh psu is coolmaster 750w 80 bronze
Nice
yeah going from low graphics witcher 3 with some lag to ultra with no lag is big
Nice, you probs upgraded from a laptop?
Great
what is a rgb, d rgb and other letter rgbs
has to do with customization as well
which is better
ok
Argb stands for addressable ie it's not just a constant rgb cycle, it can be changed to what you want in software or something
drgb stands for digital
and is just what some manufacturers call argb
no difference
argb/drgb is generally better if your hardware supports it
it can do anything regular rgb can do on top of rainbow/per-led effects
and more power efficient i believe
since it runs at much lower voltage
Phanteks likes using dRGB instead of aRGB.
yeah phanteks is the biggest one
has a Phanteks case
asus just calls it addressable gen 2
yea coler master MB311 has drgb fans
indeed
i hab intel celeron n3060 ;c
I'm happy I got my 3060. In this market, any recent card you can get your paws on is a good card.
I just posted a pic in build-pics let me know what you guys or gals think
Hey all, i'm a newbie at liquid cooling and am trying to plan my loop before i purchase all the parts. anyone have experience working in the Lian Li o11 XL and with the EK front distro plate?
check out watercooling discird
this build that i made depends on the shuffle, so it probably wont ever happen. The 0 dollars are from a bb gift card and I am planning on selling my old imac for 300-400 dollars. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ht3zwz is this a good hypothetical build?
case looks offensively horrible
rest is fine
better cpu coolers exist for cheaper though
that does not look like enough airflow for 500 watts of cpu and gpu
Put high static pressure fans in the front
do you already own this case
what is high static pressure fans
Just Yeet a p360a
if not definitely do not buy
no i dont
Fan with more torque 💪
Eww front drive cages
i've built in actual $20 cases that looked like this
Who uses that many 3.5" drives these days

$20 case with a 120mm front fan grill for intake
including a 120mm front fan and 92mm exhaust
front fan even had blue led
gotta say pretty solid for a case that costs as much as lunch
That's a fluffy lunch
Intel stock cooler 🤢
bro
it's an i3 and the case has no transparent panel
that stock cooler was whisper quiet
well you could kinda see it through the side vent holes
but still
stock cooler does great on an i3
I've seen i3 overpower that cooler lmao
is the 4000d good
oh
4000d airflow is one of my favorite cases of all time
highly recommend for beginners
the cable management in that case is excellent
if you aren't using liquid cooler then you should add some
i also did an air cooled build in it where i added 3 rgb fans to the front
is the arctic p12 good?
yes
ok
looks nice
air cooled 4000d airflow with the stock fans as exhaust and 3 rgb added to front
and the liquid cooled one
AI(O's don't really need maintenance

oh ok so u dont have to change the water
Nope
only custom loops need maintenance like that
ok
Most aren't water anyway, they're propylene glycol
what is a good aio
aios have very little variance
Arctic freezer II or EK AIO 240mm
most of them have the same asetek pump inside
you can pretty much buy whichever you think looks good and it'll do fine
galahad third one
evga clc is also good price/perf
galahad freezer ii and ek-aio are the three really good non-asetek bois
clc is loud boi
I think clc is asetek gen 6 or whatever?
I changed the stock fans of my td500 mesh
all I know is it has a tiny impeller
Gen 6 is newer
what about the fractal design celcius
it was a tinny plastic impeller
they weren't loud at load but they made a clicking sound at low rpm
drove me crazy
idk I just replaced them with $3 id-cooling fans
looks like same perf as d15 lol
took a quick peek at tpu testing
what about the enermax liqmax III 360 weird name
The one with the slime gumming up the block?
hmm
Time will tell
indeed
what about cooler master masterliquid ml240l RGB V2. im just gonna go for 240 and not 360
it's liqtech 1 and 2 with the issue
pretty sure 3 actually fixes it
ML240L V2 is meh, it's cheap for a reason
Specifically the TR4 versions also
yeye
EK AIO for $120 with Vardar fans and RGB is pretty good for the money
and freezer ii is very good too
k i have updated my build a lot https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bdMGz7
galahad is just good performing, pricing very meh, but people like the looks
not necessary for 3600c16 on Intel but your choice
OH, I thought they were AMD?
oh yeah i forgot it was a ryzen build first
Ah
i changed bc it was too expensive
3200 fine for Intel
C16 fine
ok
C16 refers to clock cycles, not nanoseconds. To find the timing in ns, "CAS"/("clock speed"/2000)
k updated the ram idk if u need a new link https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j8Py2V
ok cool
Psu?
oh yeah
forgot
ok https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jnjYCz the new psu is a tier on the ltt tier list
its on a promo so if youre waiting and the promo goes you might want to find a different psu because its 110 -30$, you could buy a enermax revolution df 750w for that price
i assume you already have the 10600k?
bb gift card that i have
fair
i would get 11400 if you dont have already tho imo unless youre gonna OC your cpu high
also where are you getting a 4000d airflow for 45$???
its with the bb gift card but its going over the 300 dollars
what do you mean?
He is using the gift card so he only need to add 45$
yeah
ahhh
hmmm
are you gonna do some heavy or semi overclocking?
well im just going to use it for gaming, i dont know anything about oc
then youre spending unnecessary money on buying an overlclocked processor
get a i5 11400 instead
with a b560 motherboard
ok
k
only went z590 because there was like 3 b560 boards
im going to add a custom b560 board from newegg pcpartpicker doesnt have all of the boards
fair enough
well tbh 180 is pretty decent and its a nice mobo but up to you
ohh nvm thought it was asus not asrock :/
sooooo, not as good?
also you dont need an aio but i assume you want it for the looks
eh
ehh asrock just doesnt like intel r sum :/ still cheap for a z590 tho
i dont really need it but someone recommended an aio
if you dont want it for aesthetics then you can get like a 30$ cooler instead
yeah
ok imma add some case fans bc the aio is gone
yeah thats what im adding
👍
are you going to change the motherboard or no?
nah
btw arctic have a pack of fans instead of single
hello guys
Hello
hi
ok
dang how did you manage to get a 3060
Sheer dumb luck. Won the shuffle last week.
Better than a failing laptop with a mobile 1060
Yep
Could def go cheaper mobo
For 180 for a b550 you'd be better off going for an x570
But for that build I'd go for the b550 pro-vdh wifi
Go b560
There was like 3 b560s in stock lol
true they said they were gonna wait for some to come into stock i think
but 180 aint bad for z590
Hey guys doing a build using an old deepcool tower. About to connect the the JFP1 cables and noticed that the power led are both labeled positive. It's obviously an error. One is grey cable and the other black. How would I figure out which on is actually positive?
Black is probs negative. If the LED doesn't work the way you hook it up, just power down and switch it. It won't hurt anything if it's backwards.
Cool thanks
I mean yeah that's true
So why do z590
idk i just said its an option but b560 probs better waiting for stock
I went ahead and took the hard drive in my external hard drive out of it and it’s so much faster now
It’s now going through sata instead of usb
i have fast internet speed but theres a weird pattern for downloading and getting 1MB per second
as we said earlier you said your internet is pretty slow, but take a screenshot of an internet speed test with the download paused and well see if theres anything wrong?
okay, is there a download tab in settings?
anything along those lines?
???
ohh yeah i misread
i thought they did in mb/s
you have a very slow connection to the internet
Yo, you think a 5800x would be good for Architectural design and rendering aswell as gaming?
how to improve?
im only one using it
Reason: Bad word usage
5800x is pog for gaming and multi core heavy tasks too, although idk if architectural design needs a good gpu tho 🤷
what did you have a month ago?
its a telstra moderm
Well I'm getting a 3080, so I think I'll be good either way.
i meant what speeds, at that speed any modem wont hold you back
But I'm gonna start learning and teaching my self architecture so that way I can make some big bucks, and build my dream house
wdym
yeah you should be fine, imo 5900x might be more pog if in budget but yeah 5800x good just meh value wise
what speeds where you getting a month ago, it doesnt really matter that modem you have
i was download at 2 - 6 mb
Alright, I may look into a 5900x, it's just I'm already planning on spending $4500 on this new pc, so I'm not trying to break the bank TOO much, lol
@sharp tundra Im using a 3700x for cad for engineering and it works perfectly fine so im sure a 5800x would be good
fair enough, you should be able to squeeze a 5950x into that budget tbh but idk how intensive the software is and if 16 cores is needed
What software is it?
Well, this pc wasn't being built on pure performance. And it's not that I have a budget, it's just I'd rather not spend $20k on a computer ya know?
@fossil cedar i was downloading 2 - 6mb's now im getting 200 kb - 1mb
Let me find the list of what I'm getting
mb call your provider then
thats still kinda low tho do you live in the country side or something?
^ in my past experiences for some reason my old provider loved to throttle me down
screw you optimum
America 
my exact reaction lol
that would be like super illegal anywhere but america
Gotta love having a 6mbps plan that's 55 bucks a month
Australia
I want to move into town where there's probably better options
wtf??????? do you mean mb/s? pls tell me you do
Amd then later down the line, I was going to get a full corsair custom loop
Mbd is too big
gen an ek aio if you want rgb
Nope
Absolutely not 
why not?
Because att
As much as a custom loop is cool i dont see a point if youre not doing massive OCing
Well one, I want an all corsair build cause I'm being picky, and two, I like the look of the corsair H150i Elite
nomad the mobo is too big for case
whats att
It's not too big. It's just pcpp doesn't include the lip under the cable cover as usable space, the mobo will only go underneath it by like a couple mm
AT&T I'm guessing
And since that mobo has all the cables going out the side, I won't have to worry about conflict with the cable gaurd
It'll be the cleanest PC you've seen in a while, lol
What about screw holes?
The screw holes are all ATX
But does the motherboard have an ATX screw layout?
Yes
ohhh america internet and mobile network rip offs, ik they have more space to cover but my internet is like €40 for 120mbps down and 15 or so up(idk why just dont get equal down and up speeds here most of time) and my mobile bill atm is €10 for unlimited data calls texts etc and going up to €20 i think in a few months after the promotional period ended
thats fine then
nomad do need the pcie 4.0 drive?
bit overkill unless youre doing constant large transfers
The only difference between ATX, amd Gigabyte E-ATX is that the mobo is about an inch wider.
I say gigabyte E-ATX because E-ATX isn't standardized
thats fine then
Maybe not, but I'm getting it anyways
okayyyy
but like if not you could get a 2tb pilot e or something and save like 170$
I mean, I don't need a $700 mobo either, but it looks cool so I'm getting it
thats the bump from a 5800x to 5900x
Yeah only reason why I have a $600 mobo is because I got it combined with a cpu for $400 with the cpu included in that price
Normally I’d never say to spend more than $300 on a mobo but if you think it looks cool go for it
Nothing wrong with that
Because I can
Personally I love Corsair
And also, if I every have a problem with anything, I only 1 company I have to talk to.
but for the sacrifice of your drive not being corsair, you could go from a 5900x from a 5800x
Not 30 different ones
Well, 4 companies, Gigabyte, Corsair, AMD, amd Nvidia
I’ve been search for one for weeks now and it’s a pain in the ass to even find a 3070 for $700
but still chances more than 1 thing goes wrong is extremely high
i got mine for €720 but that includes tax
lucky
I'll find a 3080 for $700, just you see
good luck soldier
I just haven't been looking right now cause I'm not worrying about the pc at this very moment, cause I'm working on getting a motorcycle instead
And I spend too much money on Legos, lol
the modem is not the problem as i said the modem hardly matters, the problem is with your slow ass internet speed lol
IDK WHATS WRONG WITH MY INTERNET
fair lol
should i reset it?
hm yeah
Like just 2 days ago I bought the new NASA space shuttle for $200
i also have 2 google connectors
2 weeks ago I bought the UCS A-Wing for $200 (nearly bought the Collesseum instead for $550)
its the speed from your provider that sucks just call them
oml
Ok
will it cost?
Yes
damn how much you reckon?
Depends on where you live, what the availability is
not to call your provider
Reason: Bad word usage
But you'll have to pay to increase your internet speed
well their getting a fraction of the speed they were getting a month ago
Providers will do that
Is this Pc good so far, I haven't decided on a Cpu and Mobo https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZQmy2V
its probably gonna cost ad least 200 dollars
What you need to do, is find a deal from another service provider, and tell them that you would like to increase your internet speed, amd when they give you a price that's higher than what the competitor is, tell them you may just go ahead and switch providers, and 9/10 times, they give you a better deal just to keep you as a customer.
But if your bound by a contract, then dont
Cause they won't care either way
Cappelix is overpriced, EK 240MM RGB for $120, Silicon power drive is also overpriced, Mushkin Pilot E $109 1 TB just as fast, Phanteks AMP 750W is a higher quality and cheaper PSU at $109
Cause they'll still get paid whether you leave or not
of the enermax revolution 750w is that price or 120 for 850w amd the ram is cl18
just call them and see if theres a problem not telling you to buy faster speeds
k
Without knowing CPU/Motherboard, I left the ram alone
Eh, Intel won't notice as much
true but still
true true
so my pc less than 3 months old is showing RAM failing. I just ran a memtest86 and the test failed in the middle of it citing too many errors to continue. I just checked with MSI that the RAM I had bought is indeed supported by this motherboard. So i ask ye, gods of newegg tech, I need to purchase new ram, and I need reliability for both gaming and sketchup designing which do I go with? I had the corsair vengeance LPX 2x8gb.
Ram speed? CPU and MB?
3600mhz? cpu; ryzen5 5600x msi mpg b550 gaming plus
that is correct.
correct as well. you actually helped me through the bios update vintage 😄
memory controller is on CPU, BIOS updates can affect ram.
Noice!
Well poo, bad ram sucks
Crucial Ballistix or GSkill Ripjaws 3600C16 ram then
Both are good
noted, looking now, thanks vintage
i gave you the wrong info vintage. I have in here the gskill ripjaws cl16 memory in this mobo (bad RAM). I was looking at the wrong saved part list i had for this pc >.>
i had ripjaws in my old PC too, never an issue
ugh not unless I ABSOLUTELY have to have it.
Well, it's that or possibly buy new ram
i'd give a free fix a shot first XD
Also
Now that it's working
You can update the BIOS from within the BIOS instead of using flashback
Much simpler
oh hmm
side note: on msi's site for my mobo, on the RAM infographic they say that 3200mhz is highest supported by JEDEC. while my current ram 3600mhz is supported by A-XMP OC Mode. and I never had those mode "switched on" when I set up my bios the last time. is this an issue?
It shouldn't be but try XMP.
will try that.
Nice
I need to find a m-atx motherboard that will work with an i5-6600k LGA1151 chip. How do I know which mother works.
What would be my search criteria?
Z270 chipset
2 140mm fans or 3 120mm fans?
2 140s. Quieter, less rpm
I believe I found my issue. Maybe. So I removed the b2 stick and left the a2 stick in. Booted up my satisfactory game and bsod crashed in about 3 mins. Then removed the a2 stick and put the old b2 slot stick in the a2 slot and have yet to crash 8nside of 20 mins playing. None the less I've got a pair of those ballistix ram on its way.
Ok I got a serious question. I'm upgrading my motherboard, CPU, RAM and PS. Keeping all the same hard drives. When everything is put toger, is there anything that needs to be done so this new setup starts and runs like normal?
Hope that made sense
What type of drive, SATA?
All right so what's the cheapest I got to spend to run a couple years beyond Assassin's Creed Valhalla at Max graphics. Or at the very least how much should I be spending when I only have a 1080 LED TV it is 55 in though but
It didn't work Mr 1111
hm?
Yes SATa
I got to get another board and I'm not going to do ddr3's
Hoping I can solve this before 7:00 at Best buy or at least Amazon a little bit later
It should work, might take a bit for first boot up, but new cpu+mobo+ram+psu should be fine
Well, if you get a new cpu, mobo, ram, we could not have to deal with any burnt out slots lel
Well I took it to PC shop but he certainly was not as knowledgeable as the other guy that I usually talk to
fair
He didn't know what I meant by when I referred to it as jumping the power
The 4770k (iirc the chip) only supports ddr3 by the way, ddr4 won't fit
also should i take the challenge of managing cables for these or give up and buy a fan hub
lol, jumping the pwr switch header
Right so I have a decision I mean the i7 is great but ddr4 which to choose?
cable management steps are unnecessary :P
I could also contact freaking what's it called the cooler mattress see if they have anything that I need to fix that part
So, ddr4 no go on current chip
If you mean which chip to go with ddr4, depends on your budget, prob Intel 10th gen or 11th gen.
Coolermaster for the case?
That case does look old
It's ancient and abused
yea...
But gigantic and breathable too
Eh, the simple solution to most PC things is to just throw more money at it and get a new one :P
I thought I might let geek squad at Best buy take a look and just see if they have a recommendation too
Geek squad is interesting..
Generally bad reputation, but I trust the PC shop guy
(I have a friend that works at best buy, they're... kinda bad at PCs, I wouldn't trust them with my PC)
Yeah they're small there's only three or four that work there I think three and I relied on them for years
Add one problems that this guy's a little dismissive
The other two are wonderful
0 boring as hell but wonderful
I mean who doesn't laugh at a good scarecrow gets his brain reference
All right motherboard it is
Well, if the current CPU (4770k iirc) still works fine for you, a motherboard swap means you will have to use ddr3 ram.
And that option is fine, just a note in response to this again
are netgear wifi adapters optimized for netgear routers
what?
are netgear wifi adapters optimized for netgear routers
cuz my adapter wont work with router from isp
in short i cannot answer your question
I had problems with my net gear adapter when using it with a desktop but that might’ve just been me
All adapters should work with any router
If you can definitely go with an adapter that plugs into your motherboard
They perform better than usb ones for sure
I could use a little direction guys... I did some upgrades. Got everything together. My hope was that when I turn on my computer it would load up and start and look like what I'm use to. But instead it booted to a screen that says MSI click bios 5.
I have no clue what to do from here. Can anyone help?
Also the date and time is off. It stating tomorrow's date.
What all did you change?
Ah
MOtherboard change will often bork the Operating System
To the point where it won't boot, OS should be reinstalled if you change the motherboard
Ok
So I understand what you're saying. I just cant think how to go about doing that.
Technical my OS is sitting on my hard drive
That is hooked up to this pretty setup that can't do anything.
🤦🏽
If you have access to another computer and a flash drive then it's easy, just use the windows media creation tool and boot from that to install the OS. There's other options if that doesn't work for you.
@potent portal thanks I'm working on downloading it now. But maybe you can answer something for me.
On my old setup I had my operating system and drivers on one drive, everything else on 2 other drives. When I finally get this thing going should I/or will I have to recreate my drives or what?
This is actually my second time putting a PC together. But the first time was in 2016 and I don't remember how I put the OP on it.
Scratching my head hard on that. Always considered myself to be smart
Since you have everything separate already, you've got it easy. All your old data will be where it is now, you just need to tell the OS where it is by changing library locations. It's simple, open explorer, right click a library such as "Downloads", properties, location, find target. Hit ok, confirm the dialog, and it's done.
Ok
You good for one more trivia...
My old CPU is a i5-6600k it's an 1151. I want to use it to build a m-atx. How do I know what motherboard works?
@muted patio thanks vintage. I asked that question before and you responded z270 but I didn't realize you were answering me. This app was recommended to me from newegg customer service. The guy was right you all are great.
Welcome!
We get random people in the middle of the night that help too, it's weird.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6CqqMv does the mobo on this have cpuless bios or ships with the new update or somethin? im tryna make something to game and workstation on
decided to go not very flashy on this one
id reccomend this board for that build
wifi and bios flashback
for a way better value
also for a 5600x id try to go for at least 3600 c16 ram if you can
also id reccomend going 1tb pilot e, since way better value and youll wish you had 1tb after you fill up 500gb
b550m pro-p also has BIOS flashback lol
it also looks more premium than the MSI . fixed io shield + VRM heat sink
Imo a fixed IO shield I just for convenience
just attach it to the case before putting in the mobo
Pro-p also wack price recently
It's just seems nicer, and really should be freaking standard these days.
mk
Yes it is >:(
Design tolerances make them wack
Reason: Bad word usage

Sad
tl;dr of what I was typing- valorant is a terrible benchmark, I realized why professional reviewers don't include it as a tool to compare performance
unfortunately I found it out the hard way
I did like ~25 benchmarks

Too much variblility?
WAY too much
and the problems I had with it are literally endless
there's a difference of an average of 70+ FPS between two similar tests
I re-did testing at first
thinking it was my fault
but I realized it isn't
it's the game lol
Lol
Anyone have any good suggestions for a mini itx case?
Should I buy components over time or save up and buy them all at once?
Just quality of life tbh
Io shields are a pain in the ass indeed :/
Buy the graphics card first before you bother with any other components or else they are just gonna sit there gathering dust if its a gaming machine
Newegg shuffle?
If you're looking at eBay be careful there is a lot of scams
Lian Li Q35, CM NR200
@vague oracle tu150 or nr200
Craigslist gpu
1080
For 200
Asked the dude
Said it was fine
make sure it works
Then sent me some video
price sounds a bit sus so make sure before you do buy
Though im not sure whether or not ill be able to buy it
They go for like 600$ on ebay so
Im getting out of school in 6 hours
try to make sure it works in-person
Indeed
Aaaand, the guy informed he just sold it.
😭
Who the hell goes to buy a gpu at 8 in the morning???
And who agrees to it???
People that don't start work til the afternoon?
hello
hello i’m doing a new build today and want to move an m.2 ssd from my old build to the new one. can i just take it out and pop it in to the new one or do i have to reformat it. it only has my steam games on it
you can transfer with no issues
if it is your boot drive you may have to reinstall windows
but if it has nothing but steam games that's fine
ok thank you very much 🙏
Np
Hello Guys, how are you all? I am trying to build an affordable personal Pc, which will include big Ram and Gpu, anybody got product ideas for me please let me know.
I’m looking for help with an upcoming build but I still need a couple of parts and I am still trying to figure out what would be the best for my pc and also thinking about looks as well
I have a Ryzen 9 5950x and a ASRock > B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax mobo and an Enermax aquafusion AIO but I don't really know the brand that well and haven't heard much about it so I just assume it isn't that good but I want to use what I have but if this aio isnt a good one then i'm going to sell it and get a different one but I'm going for looks too
Would it be wise to buy a 1050 ti on eBay for around $120-200
yeah thats a good price
Thank
@ember bone Well, what's the budget?
Sup & Around 2k maybe 500 more.
Heh that's a good bit above what I imagined with "affordable personal pc"
Do it big or don’t do it haha
a prebuild or nah
@ember bone what will it be used for?
I thought that first but isn’t it more fun to build your own ?
It's nice when it works
Just a lot of Hd graphics production
Hm, video editing or like photoshop kind of production, or like blender render for game graphics...?
mr 1111 do u think that a 3080 could fit in this build? idk the market price rn
Definitely
oop this is build chat sorry
ok
More like Cnc algorithms run ons
I'll make a list in a moment
Hm, is there any particular software you use? Like AutoCAD?
I work usually on Linux “run”
Different software pit different loads on different components. It just gives me a better idea what component will need to be focused upon.
Hm
Are you familiar with mining ?
Depends on which kind, eth and bitcoin and such are gpu accelerated, there are also some weird ones that are cpu accel and such.
I have a bit coin one but it takes soooooo much electricity bro
Eth is currently a lot more profitable for gpu mining as far as I know right now soo
Not many people still do btc unless they have a big operation
So I’m trying to build one more energy efficient and is faster than the most expensive ones or realistically something close to oh
Eth for ethereum btw
Ethereum is always hot bit coin is only for now
Bro your are intelligent!
Is that mocking a techie
?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Techie a crypto or
I have no idea what that means
But techie is a role given to the people most knowledgeable and most helpful people on the server
Also Bitcoin has been very consistently mined and ethereum is the hot topic right now
Yes but on Linux
Or if you have something better I’m all ears
You can run either windows or Linux or any other OS on most computers
EK-AIO is one of the best for the price
there was a dude saying it was bad here
who
who

@silver fulcrum y
?
what's wrong with ek aio
Bruh it’s similarly priced
performs better for 20 bucks cheap
If he wants rgb tho
then go with ek
😐
bruh
Ek is $120 for rgb thats cheap
ok so the ek is good?
Fan swap on the freezer ii to get rgb fans is more expensive
Change psu
ok to which one
and also, no, they're close enough to be within run-to-run variences
and yea p-gm blows up in some situations
literally blows up
...
Phanteks amp 750w is good
the psu is good
it is tier b
No pgm
oh
Tier e
oh crap
Also get sn750 instead of pilot e 500gb
is there a under 160$ motherboard for i7 10700f with wifi?
Slightly cheaper
I’m looking for help with an upcoming build but I still need a couple of parts and I am still trying to figure out what would be the best for my pc and also thinking about looks as well
b560 boards might
I'm going to go back to making a 2k$ list for that one guy on linux that wanted to mine..?
I have a Ryzen 9 5950x and a ASRock > B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax mobo and an Enermax aquafusion AIO but I don't really know the brand that well and haven't heard much about it so I just assume it isn't that good but I want to use what I have but if this aio isnt a good one then i'm going to sell it and get a different one but I'm going for looks too
You can get a enermax revolution df 850w for that price
ok
These zoom classes bro
What are your thoughts on bigger mother board for bigger hash rate ?
uh what
what does that have anything to do with hash rate
it's about more GPUs
but you can get more GPUs by getting pcie daughterboards if the motherboard doesn't have enough slots
Ok sensei
“Taking notes”
Daugherboard meaning 1x to 16x usb slot thing
Right ?
it's another board with slots on it
The life expectancy of processor
If you add lot of gpu with daughter boards and mother board
that doesn't do anything to the life expectancy of the processor
Oh ok I just wanted to know that.
@ember bone smth like this for a simple good all around build
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/thXHTJ
maybe more storage if you needed
maybe more ram if you needed
maybe different case if you want
Ok bet let me check that out real quick
maybe bigger psu if you want to run more GPUs to mine
You seems very found of GPUs in this case what are your thoughts on Ant miners
asic's?
Yes sir
generally just annoying
They cost like 3k
expensive, long ROI, power hungry, and no resale value after usage
You can sell your 3080 after a year if mining isnt efficent anymore
Or just use it for gaming
unless you have a big operation that can get a lot of them and power them all cheap, and are certain you will be able to run for a while, it's not worth it imo
Consumer GPUs are (if at msrp) Cheaper, quicker ROI, while still power hungry, to a lesser extent, and a large market that will buy it if you choose to sell it
roi for return on investment
You guys are forgetting the jet engine sound
?
From the cooling fans
on an asic?
Yes
My friend basement sound like the docking yard for 747’s
lol
For consumers
ASICs probably start making sense once you're spending like 200k on asic miners lol
What are your thoughts on buying preowned ASICS ?
And 200k lol maybe when I’m rich I’ll make all y’all my business partners
I personally don't mine and don't really get into it, but I assume preowned ASICs are probably in poor conditions
I see, I can’t imagine why you won’t want to mind you are great with this
Eh, maybe one day, too annoying right now to acquire the equipment to do so lel
Btw I just saw the list ty ty 🔥🔥
can someone make me a 1.3k$ budget amd or intel build
Nb
No
the only $400 3060 ti youll find is founders edition from bb, some aibs are around $500, newegg is easily the most expensive with their shuffles
If going 10th gen I'd go 3200c16
What’s wrong with the build only thing they should do is get sumthing like what @desert gulch suggested
I mean for gaming I wouldn't rly go 10700 tbh
11400 performs better and cheaper if they're just gaming they wont utilise the extra cores, and they downgraded the psu to 650w for no reason
