[south jewel]

Very true then again they didn’t state their intentions with the pc

[fossil cedar]

They did

[south jewel]

Oh bruh

My fault

DIDNT read @fossil cedar my bad

[wide sparrow]

@austere vale did you make that by yourself?

or did u find that online

[fossil cedar]

Is g

[grim fern]

how should i arrange fans on my icue 220t?

2 140mm on the front, 2 120mm at the top, and 1 120mm at the back

or

3 120mm on the front, 2 140mm at the top
(probably sounds confusing)

[desert gulch]

Any radiator or all air cooling?

[grim fern]

all air

[desert gulch]

Id go for second option but that's just my opinion

Is it a mesh front panel?

[grim fern]

yep

[desert gulch]

Yeah then I'd go for 3x120 in front

[marsh parcel]

Aight Ladies and Gents. Got my new CPU (R5 3600X). Installed and my PC Posts. A big thank you to all that helped me in my time of need lol. Much love all round. Don't know what I would have done if not for all of you.

[grim fern]

cool tyty

[desert gulch]

How much was that cpu?

[marsh parcel]

275 on Amazon

[desert gulch]

Damnnnn

[marsh parcel]

Couldn't get one on Newegg that I could afford

[desert gulch]

You can just about get a 5600x for that lol

[marsh parcel]

Indeed. Out of stock on Newegg and I think pushing 350 on Amazon.

[fossil cedar]

^ or 11400 if not b450/b550 board

[fossil cedar]

300, the msrp is way too much for a 6 core chip imo

[marsh parcel]

Correction I just looked and 400 on Amazon

for 5600x

[desert gulch]

https://www.shopblt.com/item/amd-100-100000065box-ryzen-5-5600x-wraith/amd_100100000065box~b8mz983.html

[marsh parcel]

Shopbit OoO

[desert gulch]

And while shipping may be a lil slower than amazon it's only 307 with shipping pre tax

[marsh parcel]

Trusted seller?

[desert gulch]

Ye

[marsh parcel]

Reliable?

[desert gulch]

Their shipping isn't the best but they're a legit company

[marsh parcel]

Then I may have to upgrade later on with them if they have stock

[desert gulch]

If I was going 5600x I'd probs just wait for a drop

On Amazon or wegg

[marsh parcel]

But Imma go with at least a 5700x if not a 5800x

I want those cores lol

[muted patio]

5700x doesn't exist

[desert gulch]

No 5700x

[marsh parcel]

Whaaa?

[desert gulch]

And if you wanted those cores why go 3600x

[marsh parcel]

Ok 5800x then lmao

[muted patio]

5600, 5800, 5900, 5950

[desert gulch]

It only has 6c/12t

[celest sun]

People always saying more cores more cores, until their cores start to bottleneck

[marsh parcel]

I can't afford anymore atm

I just needed a CPU to make my pc work

[austere quarry]

I panic bought a 5800x during an AMD drop a while back, thought about canceling but built around it anyway. Still no decent card but I like it

[desert gulch]

A 5800x is rly good for what it does

I wish pricing was just a bit better on it

[marsh parcel]

My PC is both for gaming and doubles as a sort of workbench

*workstation

[fossil cedar]

5700g tho but only oem :/

[marsh parcel]

Fecking Minecraft logic LMAO

So since I am getting a refund for the x570 I sent back, what should I get next? Or just hold off?

[desert gulch]

I mean for 3600x if you wanna keep it I'd go b550

[marsh parcel]

I have a b550 lol

[desert gulch]

Oh

[marsh parcel]

I thought the x570 was borked

[desert gulch]

Yeah then use the b550

[marsh parcel]

I could get a better case. I was thinking the Corsair 5000d

Or more storage

[desert gulch]

What case currently?

[marsh parcel]

Coolermaster Masterbox NR600 w/ front mesh

all black

My old case is a NZXT S340 white

TERRIBLE airflow I found out later

Oh NOW Newegg finished processing my refund. Still gotta wait 3-5 business days for it.

[sharp tundra]

Get the 5000d, godly case

[stoic island]

P500a

Godliest case

[olive kraken]

guys, I need the best gaming pc u can give me for 850usd

I alrdy have gpu, psu and I'll short it to turn it on for now

[verbal quarry]

What gpu and psu do you have?

[olive kraken]

I have a 3060ti, gigabyte 650w something. it came bundled with gpu

[verbal quarry]

Don't people recommend you not to use that psu?

[compact pebble]

Anyone have a good prebuilt for $700

[verbal quarry]

I cant remember

[urban venture]

should I enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling if my GPU is worse than my CPU?

[olive kraken]

It's not the one that blows up but one that's a little better

[rich helm]

If p-gm yes

[olive kraken]

Ik it isn't great but I need the pc like yesterday

I'll go baller on the next check and buy better parts either way

[rich helm]

Why do need it so urgently lol

[olive kraken]

I need it cuz my old pc died

[muted patio]

Man, those things are literal bombs

[verbal quarry]

Yea thats why I was so worried

[verbal quarry]

What is the wattage on your old psu?

If it still works

[fossil cedar]

Can you refund the psu?

[verbal quarry]

No not if it's a bundle

[olive kraken]

No

[fossil cedar]

Damm

[olive kraken]

550

[fossil cedar]

Sell to some poor soul on ebay? XD

[verbal quarry]

That's cruel xD

[rich helm]

If you have old parts then make it a required part to come with it

[fossil cedar]

Gigabyte making psus is cruel

[verbal quarry]

True

[rich helm]

Some of them are decent I’ve heard but most aren’t

[verbal quarry]

Basically bombs

[rich helm]

Afaik

[verbal quarry]

Why make your own bombs when gigabyte does it for you?

[fossil cedar]

Or just get a note 7

[verbal quarry]

Good point

But which is cheaper?

[fossil cedar]

Touche

But which is more portable

[potent portal]

Which is more conspicuous?

[fossil cedar]

You'd stick out like a sore thumb with a gigabyte psu XD

[verbal quarry]

Not if it's in a bag

And you'll never know when a note 7 explodes

[fossil cedar]

How you supposed to use it tho xd

[verbal quarry]

It could happen right in your pocket

[stoic island]

This is good, 32gb ram just because extra bit of budget
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zmJ82V

[fossil cedar]

Ohh wow that rams pretty cheap for 2x16

[round stream]

is this good

https://www.newegg.com/noctua-nh-d15/p/N82E16835608045?Item=N82E16835608045&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-Aul94IdAPFIqnVfYhzwBYA

[stoic island]

for what chip

[fossil cedar]

Too overkill for your 11400 build, just use the id cooling se 224 i put in your list i sent you earlier

Or gammaxx 400 or vetroo v5

[stoic island]

yea just use se-224-xt for 11400 lol

[round stream]

Intel Core i5-10600KF 4.1 GHz 6-Core Processor

[stoic island]

d15 is just going to be annoying for just a 10600k imo

[round stream]

ok

[stoic island]

Vintage OCed his 10600k under a se224xt iirc

[fossil cedar]

Why'd you change from the 11400 for a 10600k?

[round stream]

it looked better

[stoic island]

either way se-224-xt better

and excuse me what

[round stream]

/?

no its 4.1ghz the other was 2.6

[potent portal]

The 10600k is also going to need a Z490/Z590 motherboard, which is like an extra $40

[round stream]

what about Intel Core i5-11600KF @fossil cedar

[stoic island]

remember how boosting works

and remember price

[round stream]

?

[stoic island]

11400 boosts to 4.4ghz, 10600k boosts to 4.8ghz max

[potent portal]

The "f" just means it doesn't have an iGPU

[stoic island]

I think they're asking 11600 vs 10600 lol

[fossil cedar]

11400 best bang for buck

[round stream]

oh

[potent portal]

#building-and-recc-chat message

[stoic island]

base clocks are wack

[round stream]

cus my laptop is 2.4ghz so i wanted a beter one

[stoic island]

yea

[fossil cedar]

Chonk you gotta remember that you're not going to get a 3060 ti for $400

[potent portal]

Not until the 4000s come out at least

[round stream]

its gonna be in like 1 yr or something

[fossil cedar]

Then why even plan your pc now

[stoic island]

unless discord is trippin

[round stream]

idk

if you turbo boost will it stay at the same place the whole time

[stoic island]

@potent portal and also I kinda ignore suffixes on Intel chips, 10600k 10600kf same thing perf wise and all when we talking about perf

[potent portal]

Fair enough

[fossil cedar]

As long as the thermals are okay it can boost higher than boost

[round stream]

ok

yea so can i use aio

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hnq4Vc

[stoic island]

y

it's just

annoying for the budget

and not necessary at all

[round stream]

then would i need to buy fans

[rich helm]

Not if you get a case with fans included no

[round stream]

it onyl includes 3

[stoic island]

uh

@round stream all you need is 3

hell, it's not a good idea to fill a case with fans in most cases, just a waste of money beyond a certain point tbh

[round stream]

wait what i thgouth i need one top left

[stoic island]

It's the only one that'll make any real difference

not necessary at all

[round stream]

this is the case https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-masterbox-td500-mesh-w-controller-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119378?Item=N82E16811119378&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-dyWzkDjYlxCR9zqI0TUHDQ

[stoic island]

for example, all the Gamers Nexus testing with stock fan setup

those are with only the fans the case comes with

and again, td500 mesh performs quite well

[round stream]

wait so only 3 on the side

and no to the top left

[stoic island]

see how little a rear fan affects cpu temps?

and I'm assuming you mean rear exhaust with "top left"

[round stream]

the one next to the motherboard

here

[round stream]

yea rear exhaust

[stoic island]

as you can tell, they tested the system without any extra fans, and it performed very well

:P

[round stream]

so im just using 1 in front intake 1 top exhuast and 1 rear exhaust?

[stoic island]

uhhh

3 front intake all you need

that's how GN tested the case

[round stream]

ohh

ok

[stoic island]

it's what the case comes with

you don't need to move the fans at all

[round stream]

ok

[fossil cedar]

You could always buy a p12 for like 9$ and slap that in if you need another fan

[stoic island]

but not necessary

not needed

[fossil cedar]

Yes im sure not, that was an i needed to put like an if necessary * next to it XD only skimmed the convo

[marsh sonnet]

Hi, I bought a new pc and I am looking to get a monitor for my pc. So, I was wondering do I need to get 100hz+ to get the best perfoance out of my PC ?

[stoic island]

Basically, the monitor can only display what the PC gives out, but 144hz (144 Refreshes per second for 144 Frames per second) makes a huge difference over 60hz (60 Refreshes per second for 60 Frames per second).

[muted patio]

@nimble fjord Not for $1500, no way.

[verbal quarry]

Good lord

That's not even fair

[nimble fjord]

Ik but this is the max I can buy and Ik this is not extremly good but my dad and my mom said yes for thats but they don’t want to buy more than this 😭

[verbal quarry]

Isn't there one with a 30s card in it?

That's similar price?

[muted patio]

Yes

[verbal quarry]

Then it's worth getting the 30s card over a 2060

Would get alot more performance

[muted patio]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-14-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-1tb-ssd-moonlight-white-moonlight-white/6452913.p?skuId=6452913

Both of those smash the MSI

Ok, maybe not smash but better for the money

[nimble fjord]

This is good?

[muted patio]

yes

[nimble fjord]

But its 1500$

[potent portal]

Intel... please fix your CPU naming... please... for me?

[verbal quarry]

No

[nimble fjord]

VintageRacer79 what you have like pc?

[muted patio]

All custom desktop

[nimble fjord]

Can you show me?

[muted patio]

Total cost is quite a bit

[verbal quarry]

Must be nice

[verbal quarry]

Wow

[nimble fjord]

Holly crapp!!

And Static what you have?

[verbal quarry]

Whats the total storage you got?

[muted patio]

Uh

18 TB XD

[verbal quarry]

Good lord man

[muted patio]

It's a backup server for my wifes photos

[verbal quarry]

Gotcha

[muted patio]

We have backups of backups

😉

[verbal quarry]

I dont have it all yet but I can tell you the specs

[muted patio]

Personal storage is 4 TB of SSD/NVME

6 TB backup and an 8 TB backup

[verbal quarry]

That is insane

[nimble fjord]

Ok

[muted patio]

Wife is a photog on the side

RAW files take up space

It's also a media server

XD

[verbal quarry]

Rog Strix b550-f (Wifi)
R5 5600x
3070 fe
500gb Samsung 970 evo
Wd 2tb hdd
Phanteks AMP 750w

[verbal quarry]

Wow thats insane

[nimble fjord]

Nice

[verbal quarry]

Ty

The 3070 is being a pain to get

[nimble fjord]

Me I have :

[verbal quarry]

So in its place is a ready to retire 550

[nimble fjord]

A ps4

[verbal quarry]

Lol

[nimble fjord]

But I still appreciate what I have

Because I can play at a lot of game with my friends and I love PlayStation

[verbal quarry]

Playstation is nice

I just prefer the Xbox

[nimble fjord]

Yeah But they are the same thing but the xbox app is better than PlayStation app

[verbal quarry]

True

I have pretty much every xbox besides the first one xD

And ngl I miss the 360 parties

With cod black ops

[nimble fjord]

Yeah 360 and ps3 was the best ever

[verbal quarry]

Mine still runs even after the ring of death

Straight up champion

[nimble fjord]

Nicee

My ps3 still run

[verbal quarry]

Oh I never told you my ram my bad

I have crucial ballistix 3600 cl16 2x8

[nimble fjord]

16 ram is the best for first pc i think i donlt know if i am wrong but all of my friends have 16 gb ram

[verbal quarry]

16 is perfect but 32 is considered overkill

Which is my next upgrade after I get the 3070

[nimble fjord]

Nice but your pc cost how much?

[verbal quarry]

1600

[desert gulch]

What cpu gpu?

[verbal quarry]

5600x 3070

[desert gulch]

Dang I'm guessing you had to overpay for that 3070?

[verbal quarry]

No rog strix b550-f

[desert gulch]

Y

[verbal quarry]

200 mb

[desert gulch]

Y

[verbal quarry]

Why not?

[desert gulch]

No reason

You won't use any of it's features

Over any other b550

[verbal quarry]

Could it not just be person preference?

I like the board

And im pretty happy with it so

[nimble fjord]

Yeah it’s his choice he don’t care about this he just want to be happy with what he have

[earnest olive]

maybe he thought it was pretty

xd

i've wasted too much money making my pc pretty

[potent portal]

I haven't spent enough money making mine pretty, I've been more focused on performance...

[marble seal]

Ill legit downgrade my parts if i can get them with prettier rgb lol

we all know rgb = extra fps

[potent portal]

Even white can be an issue because you get just one fan that has a slightly off-white and the whole thing looks wrong

That's the problem I'm having with my RAM, the blue is just a couple shades off of literally everything else

Get one of the Aorus Master ones that are bundled with the Gigabyte 3080s

[verbal quarry]

But 3080

Very nice

[earnest olive]

i can't go much higher in performance

so i just make it pretty

[nimble fjord]

I litteraly don’t understand what everyone say🤣

[potent portal]

Lies

You can always go higher in performance

[earnest olive]

i have a 5600x, 3080, and 4 3070s

and my most graphically demanding game is league of legends

[potent portal]

Yeah, and why don't you have a 5950X? It's higher performance. Could probably get 600 fps in LoL.

[stoic island]

You know what you need

You need some EU4 in your life

[earnest olive]

600 fps won't get me out of diamond bro 😔

i only have a 165hz monitor

[nimble fjord]

I have 60 fps bc i have a ps4

[earnest olive]

my current setup does a lot more than 165 fps

more like 400 if i uncap it

and that's a hard cpu bottleneck

don't think 5950x would do better though

league was coded in 2007 by people of questionable competence (the engine was written by the guy responsible for big rigs over the road racing lol)

only cares about single core

[nimble fjord]

Ok

[potent portal]

Yeah and the 5950X has the highest single core boost performance out of all consumer processors available today, guaranteed you get more frames

[earnest olive]

u right

this is what will get me out of diamond

increasing my fps from 162 to 162

[potent portal]

Now you're getting it!

[earnest olive]

gotta get 2 3090s as well

[potent portal]

It's all about those 1% lows though, what's the point of running 165 average fps when you dip down to 40 and stutter in fights?

[earnest olive]

umm

my setup is definitely not dipping to 40 fps in league of legends

[gleaming finch]

Is this build okay? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/7ynHTJ

[earnest olive]

we already said it was terrible in general chat

[gleaming finch]

ooh

[earnest olive]

this wouldn't even turn on

[gleaming finch]

mean

[earnest olive]

no graphics card and no integrated graphics

[gleaming finch]

Dude i don't have the card yet

im waitng for a 3060

[earnest olive]

256 usd for a 3600x

coolermaster garbage 212

[stoic island]

lol

[gleaming finch]

What can i use instad?

[earnest olive]

i5-11400

[stoic island]

10400/11400 + B560

[gleaming finch]

for the cooler

[lyric thistle]

Blue 3D, switch out for a SN550 or better

Don't use Blue 3D m.2 ver

[still roost]

ISneaky_#8052 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[earnest olive]

much better than 212

[gleaming finch]

This looks like a piece of plastic that cost 2$

[desert gulch]

You keep reposting the same list, I already told you it was crap earlier

[earnest olive]

well

212 performs like a piece of plastic that cost $2

so your choice

[still roost]

ISneaky_#8052 has been warned

lmao

[desert gulch]

Lmfao

[desert gulch]

Gotta get that z490/590 board for ur 10400f

Is big brain time

Since b560 def doesn't exist

[stoic island]

lol

[desert gulch]

Big lel

Mr1 do u know basic maths?

[stoic island]

yes

[desert gulch]

Something isn't right here chief

1x1 in fact does not equal 2

Very sus moment

[stoic island]

kek

[desert gulch]

Im pretty sure sqrt doesn't mean you just divide by 2

Lol

[stoic island]

they might actually be 12 years old

[desert gulch]

Very sus

What abt this dude?

3060ti for 300 pog?

[stoic island]

lololol

[frozen junco]

I would love that

The real question is why are you not using dark mode

[frozen junco]

Same with 3 it is not 1.5

It is like 1.7 or 1.8

[obsidian wigeon]

mmmm

650w s12iii or grey cx750m?

The seasonic is 61, while the corsair is 81

[earnest olive]

s12iii is a fire hazard

[stoic island]

neither please

@obsidian wigeon segotep sg-g or gp-p

[earnest olive]

corsair cxm is also bad

[obsidian wigeon]

No such choices

I'm in thailand lel

[earnest olive]

if those are your only choices

the cxm is better

[stoic island]

you sure no one else

[obsidian wigeon]

There's superflower too

[earnest olive]

what model

[stoic island]

which model

[obsidian wigeon]

But it costs more

Okie lemme look

[stoic island]

Superflower is a good oem, but quality depends on the unit

[obsidian wigeon]

mmm, I found cheap one, forgot bout the more expensive one

It's a 80 white

[stoic island]

what's the model

[obsidian wigeon]

sf-700r12st

or mega, idk

It says it all lmao

The expensive one is leadex iii, rgb and 650w

About 99

[stoic island]

leadex iii rgb is amazing

tryna figure out the mess of a model name

[obsidian wigeon]

Mhmm

Yep, the cheap one is super flower mega

700w variant

[stoic island]

it's probably too poopy to be on the spreadsheet, oh well

[subtle lake]

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

[obsidian wigeon]

Ah well

I'm planning to slap a psu into the 1070ti prebuilt I'm gettin

It's got i5 8400 in it

Wanna replace the bomb on it

[grim fern]

ok so

i install fans

and now my pc is in automatic repair options screen thing

[stoic solstice]

Wut this

Came with my thermal past

[lyric thistle]

Looks like holes for amd and Intel brackets

Idk why tho

[stoic solstice]

Came wit this

[lyric thistle]

Maybe to avoid making a mess on the board when applying thermal paste ig

[stoic solstice]

Ohh ty

I was looking for so long

[lyric thistle]

Shouldn't really need that imo but if you feel like you need it there it is lol

[stoic solstice]

Yeah that was left over from my build last year

I just found it in a random box of mine

[lyric thistle]

Ah ic

[marble seal]

something I don't see nearly as often as pc cable management:

does anyone have any good guides or tips for good desk cable management? Mine isn't awful, but since Im setting up a new tower I figure Ill start over and get it done right this time, it kind of ballooned into a bit of a mess with all the extra cables added on later

[lyric thistle]

Try to sort of catalogue where all the cables come from and where they go, and piece together in your mind how many paths you need

Then unplug them and sort them out into those paths and cable tie them

See if they plug in again, some cables might be too short or too long for the paths you chose, so you'll have to do some looping of the long ones and removing the short ones from the cable tied path

Idk if that's a great way of doing it but that's what I can think of on the spot

[marble seal]

yeah that seems about right, thats kind of how i approached it last time, but then i add on a half dozen extra things later and it gets disheveled lol

[jagged ember]

Or just

Bunch them together

Hope the side panel closes afterwards

[marble seal]

my desk doesnt have a side panel lol

[lyric thistle]

Outside of the pc is what he's saying wideus

[jagged ember]

Oh oh

[marble seal]

like monitors and usb and peripherals

[jagged ember]

Still I bunch the ones going to the same location together

It helps a lot visually

[lyric thistle]

I need to get a larger desk

Mine is about the size of a lectern

I want something like a Steelcase Tanker

[desert gulch]

like in MC?

[lyric thistle]

Lol irl

You have enough room for keyb mouse and tiny monitor, nothing else

Very small mouse space too

[ember bone]

I hope your set up have strong grounding connection coz boy

[lyric thistle]

The computer goes on the bottom shelf

@glass dome https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Pack-2-Fan-Splitter/dp/B01DV1Z0Z4

[glass dome]

thanks but I already have a pair I’m just too lazy to put it in that’s all

[potent portal]

Oh ok lol

[timber crescent]

Fan spliters allow for speed control along as it goes into the motherboard right?

[potent portal]

Yes

Each header can power up to 1 amp, each fan is typically less than half an amp (but always double check)

[timber crescent]

Ok.

[sharp tundra]

I'm not a big fan of 32" monitors but I might have to get me that new Aorus 32" 4k 144Hz OLED monitor

Oh wait, the 48" only have OLED

[granite lily]

Who has a good PSU calculator? CAn I put 3 3070 RTX on a RM100i?

[blazing aurora]

do you mean 1000?

[granite lily]

yes sorry lol RM1000i

[blazing aurora]

newegg has one iirc

[granite lily]

underclocked I have them at around 150watts

https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/

[ember bone]

Can you over clock 3.6 to 6 ish ?

[jagged ember]

wrong chat for that kind of overclocking lol

[blazing aurora]

#overclocking

[fossil cedar]

For a 3070 get a 650w psu or abobe

[blazing aurora]

you could get away with 600w if it's a good unit

but ideally you should get a 650w, to be certain

[fossil cedar]

Yeah I'm running mine on a 600w with a Ryzen 5 3600 but (even tho it's an evga w1 or something) but if don't know cpu so and 650w safer

[blazing aurora]

true

[rich helm]

They want 3 3070s on a psu, probably to mine

[fossil cedar]

Ohh oof, bit late to start investing into mining unless it's personal rig imo

[sharp perch]

Hey my friend needs some help he just build a pc but he doesn’t go to the post screen it doesn’t give any connection could someone help?

[fossil cedar]

Do they have the monitors cable connected to the graphics card and not the motherboard?

[sharp perch]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

Do they have any leds lighting up on the motherboard?

[sharp perch]

Led lighting?

Wdym?

[fossil cedar]

Like an error led, some boards have it

[sharp perch]

Its an asus vIII I think

[fossil cedar]

Okay lemme look at the manual

But what cpu do they have in it?

It might need a bios update first

@sharp perch

[sharp perch]

5950x

He already did it

[fossil cedar]

Okay

[sharp perch]

Is what he claims

So I guess

[fossil cedar]

How did they supposedly do it anyway?

Using the bios flashback button?

[sharp perch]

I don’t know how he did it he did say he did it so I think he did it

[fossil cedar]

Did they make sure to put it in the right usb port while doing it?

Okay

Did they try reseat ram/check power connections?

[sharp perch]

He tried to reseat the ram but it still didn’t flash into bios power connections I don’t know about that one

He has 64 gb 4 sticks so

He tried

But couldn’t put the first slot in because of the CPu cooler

We tried 2 sticks

And 3 but I said I don’t know if it will flash the bios

[fossil cedar]

3 sticks should boot but ask them to check for an led with writing beside it and get them to try boot up with 1 ram stick in each slot for each ram stick just to make sure one of the sticks/ram slots are dead

[sharp perch]

So like the number thing on motherboards

The error code?

Is what you mean

Or

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[sharp perch]

Okay and will it work if he puts 1 stick in I think so right

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

Tell them to look for some code or colour of led here

[sharp perch]

Alright

Il ask him if he gets back

[fossil cedar]

Okay

[cold sorrel]

Is a 650w PSU enough for a 5600x and a 3060?

[rich helm]

Yes

5600x is pretty low powered

I have a 10600k and 3060ti on a 650w

[round stream]

@rich helm whats your build

[cold sorrel]

Or should I spend ten bucks extra and get a 750w?

[rich helm]

Literally just said 10600k and 3060ti

[rich helm]

What psu are you looking at

[cold sorrel]

https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-amp-series-ph-p650g-us01-650w/p/N82E16817987009

[round stream]

no the exact cus im using 11400f and 3060ti, ill just copy you so its like good

[rich helm]

I have 650w phanteks amp, it’s pretty good, upgrade depends on whether you think you are going to upgrade to 3080 level card anytime in the future

[rich helm]

Don’t copy me lol, my build is decent but not the best price to performance lol

[round stream]

ok

[cold sorrel]

Honestly, once I get this system built I'm likely not to mess with it again for three or four years.

[rich helm]

If you want to know, I have a 220t rgb case, phanteks amp 650w, 16gb of trident z neo 3600 cl18, msi gaming edge z490, mag core liquid 240r, and sn750 500gb

[round stream]

ok thank you

[rich helm]

Obviously there are much better price to perf

[fossil cedar]

Yeah I'm running s 3600 and 3070 on a 600w 650 recommend tho

[cold sorrel]

Sudden question is because I've found the 5600x in-stock and I want to move on it before it goes OOS again.

[fossil cedar]

Imo yes, for future upgrades you can then keep the psu but up to you model is more important

[fossil cedar]

Chonk I've put like 2 better price to perf builds for you lol

[round stream]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4MqpkX vs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M9YTgt

[cold sorrel]

I've had the Phanteks Amp on my list since last year.

[fossil cedar]

Both of those are so unbalanced, coolers are way to overkill and you're not getting a 3060 ti for 400 realistically

[round stream]

but you said that it need to be cool to boost clock or something

[fossil cedar]

To a point

[timber crescent]

Is it possible to make an old disk drive i have work on a USB so I can have out of the way and only use it when needed (just realized I bought a case without the slot).

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fCzYK3 the one i sent to you yesterday for 1300$ budget is way better

[round stream]

850w!

can i add a wifi motherboard

[fossil cedar]

Might as well it's 10$ more than the 750w

But drop to 750w enermax revolution df if you please

[round stream]

ok

[fossil cedar]

Yeah that's fine

[round stream]

can i use the Asus Tuf wifi board

[timber crescent]

That depends on getting the fe graphics card.

[round stream]

ok

[fossil cedar]

Yeah you'll have to wait for stock but should be in soon

[round stream]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W6PSC52?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

its in stock

[timber crescent]

Granted 3000 grahoics all are nearly impossible to find (at msrp) but if your target range is larger more of a chance of getting lucky.

[round stream]

can i change the case to rgb too?

[fossil cedar]

For 177?

[round stream]

134

$

[fossil cedar]

That's why i set the 3060 ti to 550 instead of 400

[fossil cedar]

That's fine then

[rich helm]

Decide whether if you would spend less than just buying this https://www.amazon.com/External-Blingco-Protable-Notebook-Computer/dp/B072BR5VWK/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=usb+dvd+drive&qid=1618502081&sprefix=usb+dvd+&sr=8-13

[timber crescent]

Oh I read that wrong saw the fe and 500 and thought it was the 3070.

Ok didn't even think of checking price of an external on figured it would cost more.

[fossil cedar]

They originally had 400 for 3060 ti which is possible but extremely unlikely

[cold sorrel]

Well, just ordered my 5600x and SSD off Newegg. The other parts I think I'm going to order from Amazon, since I have Prime (free shipping!) and some of the other things are cheaper there.

[fossil cedar]

Nice

[cold sorrel]

Yes, 5600x is in-stock on Newegg right now. I just wasn't going to say it directly until I had mine ordered.

[fossil cedar]

Nice lol

[round stream]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sBsXz7

i changed some parts

[fossil cedar]

Chonk for the millionth time you're not getting a 3060 ti for 400$

Why did you change the 3600 to 3200?

And why would you spend 130 on a 4000d they're msrp is 100

[cold sorrel]

I paid almost 400 bucks for the 3060 I have. Prices be wack right now.

[fossil cedar]

^

And best buy full of bots

That's acc a pretty good price for 3060 tho

[cold sorrel]

But for me, still worth it rather than keep waiting a year or more. Espacially since I'm worried this laptop is going to have something more major fail than the screen.

[round stream]

the rgb was 134

[round stream]

eh idk

[fossil cedar]

The non rgb is 92

For 3600cl16

Big perf increase

[round stream]

is this good i dont want the red one

[fossil cedar]

It's fine but lemme see if there's something else for small bit cheaper

Use the low to high price filter my guy

[round stream]

oh okk

wait the 10600f is 10 dolalrs more, would that be better

the base thing is 2.9 and the 11400f is 2.6

[fossil cedar]

@round stream fixed https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qhPXz7

[fossil cedar]

Base clock doesn't matter 11400 is way better

[round stream]

ok

the 11400 and 11400f is the same price?

[fossil cedar]

I'm gonna explain my changes, ram 3600 faster, corsair case, brought the price down to the real price 95 not 140, made 3060 ti REALISTIC PRICE and 850w psu cuz 2$ more than 750w

[fossil cedar]

Yeah the f went up by 10

[gilded dove]

i try build comptuer game with core 7 and cooler on cpu do i need add ?

[round stream]

ok

[fossil cedar]

And changed to 11400 cuz no harm having an igpu

[gilded dove]

may i ask guys if u think ?

[round stream]

wait can u have i gpu and gpu

[fossil cedar]

What specs where you thinking of and what do you plan to spend?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah igpu goes through motherboards hdmi out/possibly dvi

[round stream]

but im still using the gpu when i play games right

[merry cove]

It asus b550 good for amd RYZEN 5 3600

[fossil cedar]

As long as you have your monitor plugged into your gpu yes

[cold sorrel]

This is my build with the items I just bought marked Purchased.

whatd yall recomend for gpu if i have the 10700kf

[round stream]

then whats the point of igpu

[fossil cedar]

Do you have either at the moment, intel performs better and is cheaper in mid range/low end at the moment

[fossil cedar]

Nixe

If you have problems with getting a display you can connect your motherboard to the monitor instead and see if that works, if it does you know you have a gpu problem, if not then you know it's a different problem, also if you ever decide to sell your gpu while waiting for a new one you can still use you're pc for light gaming and everyday tasks

[round stream]

ohh

[cold sorrel]

And the MSI motherboard I'm just about settled on is cheaper over on Amazon than Newegg.

[fossil cedar]

If you're buying that all new? No unless you're getting some good discounts, try putting your list together in https://pcpartpicker.com

[cold sorrel]

You know, like I just did a few messages back

[fossil cedar]

You can get a 3060 ti or 3070 if you're lucky but be ready to watch stock drops discords etc or even an rx 67000xt will do

[fossil cedar]

Same lol

[cold sorrel]

I went AMD 5600x, because I feel the performance is worth it and I'm not planning to overclock. It's going to shred through anything I throw at it for the next several years I bet.

[fossil cedar]

Very nice cpu

[round stream]

waht does htis mean

[fossil cedar]

That's weird I've never seen that before, idk why it would be a problem but just double check and but in #cpus-mobo-and-memory and see if a techie or someone else has seen that error before

[devout field]

which one?

[rustic flare]

ahem

i finally got a 3070

my question is

what processor do i get

[fossil cedar]

What's the names

[fossil cedar]

What budget do you have?

For the rest of the system

[rustic flare]

maybe like

700?

probably 800 actually

[verbal quarry]

Do you have mobo?

[rustic flare]

i do not yet

[verbal quarry]

Ok

[devout field]

1. GamePower Warcry
2. Corsair Corbide Spec Omega @Patokav#2667

[round stream]

first one looks better

[devout field]

yes, many people prefer it anyway. but I'm caught in between

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pNxsQD

[rustic flare]

👍

[verbal quarry]

Crucial ballistix is the best imo

I have the rgb of that kit

[fossil cedar]

V nice and cheap ram

[devout field]

Anyone using Rog Delta S or Core?

[round stream]

waht does the mhz mean in ram

[fossil cedar]

Mega hertz basically how fast it is

[round stream]

ok

[verbal quarry]

Where do I plug in HD audio on my b550-f mobo?

I can figure it out lol

[fossil cedar]

Down the bottom beside the usb headers usually

In my experience usually on the left

[verbal quarry]

Ok

[potent portal]

Line out is for speakers

[fossil cedar]

Ohhh lol i thought they meant while building the pc woops

[verbal quarry]

No meant the pin connector

[potent portal]

Ohh for the front panel?

[verbal quarry]

I'm also trying to figure out where the power and reset pin connectors go

Yes

[fossil cedar]

Yeah bottom left beside usb usually

[fossil cedar]

Usually right hand side bottom, your mobos manual will tell you what the correct pins are

[verbal quarry]

Imma have to look online because I don't remember where my manual is lmao

[potent portal]

13 is the front panel audio, 14 is the power button etc

[verbal quarry]

Ty

[fossil cedar]

Yeah it's a bit confusing that its still called hd audio for front panel, kinda standard def now lol

[scenic turret]

Audio for B550-F is the left corner isnt it

[potent portal]

Pinout for the front panel connectors

[verbal quarry]

Also I have a fan hub where do I plug that in?

Just into a regular fan header?

[potent portal]

Depends on the hub. Usually yes, it plugs into a header to get PWM signal so the motherboard can control speeds, but if it has more than 2 fans it probably also needs extra power from 4 pin molex or sata power

[verbal quarry]

Welp I got 5 fans to it so imma have to figure that out

Actually 6

[sharp perch]

Can someone help me my friends cpu keeps overheating but the cpu cooler is on and running trying to cool it and when it hits 97 degrees in the bios it shuts off

[misty ingot]

new install or was it previously working?

[sharp perch]

New install

[lyric thistle]

Reinstall cooler with new paste

[misty ingot]

agreed

[lyric thistle]

Before that, press on the cooler a bit I bet it starts cooling better lol

If the cooler isn't installed snugly it won't cool properly

[sharp perch]

Yeah he is alone so idk if that is possible

Someone said it had an air bubble in it

But idk

[misty ingot]

is it an air cooler or aio water?

[sharp perch]

We mounted it first

Aio

Than it turned off

[misty ingot]

any chance he only has the fans plugged in and not the pump?

[sharp perch]

Cause of overheating

He says yeah

[muted patio]

What AIO exactly

[sharp perch]

Z73

But idk if he knows that it’s plugged in

[muted patio]

Yeah

Lots of cables with that one

Needs SATA power

[sharp perch]

He says it does

[muted patio]

And the USB cable plugged into motherboard

[sharp perch]

He says it’s plugged in

[muted patio]

AND the Pump Tach cable plugged into CPU_FAN slot

Or AIO PUMP connector

Which is also the pump power and needs to be set to 100% in the BIOS if possibly

[sharp perch]

Yeah but straight when we go to bios it keeps rising and than it shuts off

On its own

[muted patio]

Then it's not mounted correctly or powere correctly

[misty ingot]

yeah i would think even if it had a larger air bubble in it, it would just be warmer but not overheat that quickly

[sharp perch]

I told him to remove the cables and redo it

So we can do one by one

So we go over everything

[muted patio]

and check mount

[sharp perch]

We mounted it correctly before

But idk

I think it’s the power

[muted patio]

Did they take the plastic off the pump?

[sharp perch]

Where off the pump

At

[fossil cedar]

Where it makes contact with the cpu

[cold sorrel]

Yeah, gotta take the plastic protecting the thermal paste off.

[muted patio]

Yeah, some have it some don't

[sharp perch]

It is already off

[muted patio]

Then it's not wired correctly or the pump is bad

Or they used the wrong mounting studs

[sharp perch]

Yeah I think it’s the wires

[fossil cedar]

Did they apply thermal paste just incase 😅

[sharp perch]

He didn’t take it off

[muted patio]

Take what off, the plastic?

[sharp perch]

The paste

Or I mean

The block on top of

The CPI

Cpu

Didn’t change the thermal paste since we didn’t take it off

[fossil cedar]

The plastic on top shouldn't matter

[sharp perch]

I told him to take off the cables and we re put it back

[muted patio]

If the board has an AIO_PUMP header use that for the pump

rather than CPU fan

Or CPU_OPT

[sharp perch]

Ryzen 9 5950x
Asus Strix 3090
4x 16GB 4000mhz CL17
Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, 1TB
Asus Thor 1200W
Asus Rog Strix x570-e gaming

This is his specs

Does that mobo have that

[fossil cedar]

Probs

X570s usually have everything

[muted patio]

1 x W_PUMP+ connector

yes, yes it does

Labeled W_PUMP

[sharp perch]

On the mobo?

Right

[muted patio]

Yes

[valid basalt]

speaking of x570s, any reccomends on a sub 200 usd board?

[muted patio]

For ryzen 3000 or 5000?

[valid basalt]

5000

[muted patio]

5000 needs flashback which a good portion of X570 lacks

[valid basalt]

i can pay mc to handle it if i have to

[muted patio]

The cheapest board with flashback is the X570 Plus for $200

[valid basalt]

but that adds 30

also some of the boards at this point supposedly ship with the updated biod

bios

[muted patio]

If you don't need dual PCI-E 4.0 NVME slots, just go B550

[muted patio]

Don't trust it

Haven't seen one yet

And no one really needs Gen 4 NVME right now

to be completely honest

TUF Gaming WiFi sitll $192 and a great board but x570 is kinda overkill TBH

That could be rough, might not have NVME screws or Sata cables, etc

[potent portal]

Not much of a discount too

I only buy open box on things that don't include accessories, like SSDs

[fossil cedar]

B550 is best bet for most users tbh

[valid basalt]

I'd hate to get the box and then have to hit up the store for basics. Wish I didn't have a stupid reason for not liking tuff (color scheme)

looking for red and black or just black where I can, tuf generally has yellow accents although it won't matter much with my placement

I'd somehow feel odd putting a 5900 and 3000 series card in a b550, even though functionally, I know you are right

[muted patio]

Sorry, no buying and selling here

[valid basalt]

sorry

[muted patio]

No worries

🙂

[cold sorrel]

I can't stand the TUF mobos either, the yellow on them is so ugly.

[valid basalt]

it's going to take some side work or another paycheck to buy the rest of the parts I need, ram, power supply, cooler, that stuff is easy. Just stuck on the mobo. Doesn't help some people say it doesn't matter much and some people act like it's everything. But I don't plan on OC so that eliminates some concern. Just know I want some USB 3.x ports, at least 2 M.2, wifi+bt is a "nice to have" and I don't wanna blow 500 on a board :p I kinda want to get the cheapest flashback I can find that meets the other criteria so I don't have to deal with the bios other ways.

was it flashback I take it? Or did you need a loaner chip?

thought that was flashback, or am I mis-identifying the feature?

[potent portal]

You're correct that's called flashback

[muted patio]

ONLY the TUF X570 Plus has that

NOt the gaming

SO heads up to get the right board

Absolutely

only 1 TUF board has it

[valid basalt]

yeah I came across a list, debating how valuable that feature is... I guess it is worth at least 30 bucks -_-;;

[cold sorrel]

I had criteria for my mobo - b550, wifi, integrated i/o shield, bios flashback, and had to not be ugly.

[valid basalt]

I'll have to step back and be honest with myself about the b550, since it looks like I could save a chunk although just half a night delivering UE

I know the 5900 isn't "the best" but I kinda want to go as high as I can without being cray cray

[rich helm]

It’s the best for gaming performance without crazy overclocks

5950x has lower single core actually

[valid basalt]

thought they changed that this generation, or am I mistaken...

the 3000 series was that way

[fossil cedar]

Well the 5950x has slightly lower clocks then the 5900x because the 5950x has 16 cores

[valid basalt]

ah you are right, the all core boost is higher on the 5950 but the heat on that has to be insane

base clock is much lower

I wanted as many cores as I could get without going crazy for light(?) gamedev work

[fossil cedar]

If you don't want to go threadripper then 5950x is your best for high core counts although the single core perf of 5950x isnt that much less than 5900x

[potent portal]

The 5950X mostly has lower average boost clocks due to the added heat

5900X is best for gaming

Unless you get a 420-480mm liquid cooler to slap on the 5950X

[earnest olive]

how does 5800x compare to 5900x in games that fully load 8 cores?

since 5900x has less cores per ccx

would imagine 5800x might have better lows in such a case?

[potent portal]

Name one game that fully loads the 16 threads. You forget SMT.

[valid basalt]

I intend to change that >:)

but maybe 4 at most?

[potent portal]

5900X has better base clocks and boost clocks than 5800X

[earnest olive]

thinking about the future but there's like 3 games right now that load up 24+ threads

[valid basalt]

couple games might touch a few more?

[earnest olive]

star citizen, total war troy (if you have stupid settings), hzd

[potent portal]

Yeah 99.999% of games top out around 4-6 threads

[earnest olive]

i'm well aware

just raising a hypothetical question

[potent portal]

I was agreeing with @valid basalt

[orchid island]

Well I’m fixing my old gaming laptop not a build, but it’s almost working... just need to replace the ram, hope it comes in the mail today.

[fossil cedar]

And a game dev might want to mess around with using all 32 threads cuz why not XD

[valid basalt]

They may use more threads but typically those threads are small labor threads, the main game loop, possibly the physics and a few other operations take up the bulk

[earnest olive]

good on you for fixing instead of creating more e-waste

[potent portal]

Star Citizen is still in Alpha so I don't count it

[valid basalt]

I'm not sure if the physics engines are still offloading to the graphics card or not though.

[potent portal]

PhysX is mostly dead

[valid basalt]

@orchid island - using a HD or SSD? that can be a nice cheap usability upgrade

[earnest olive]

don't worry star citizen will come out of alpha around the time where the technology in the game is real

[valid basalt]

this is what I get for using engines as a black box

@rain tendon Build Pics is pictures only so I moved your post here:
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question? I'm in the process of ordering the parts for a gaming build and they have sold out of the MSI PRO H410I PRO WIFI LGA 1200 Intel H410 SATA 6Gb/s Mini ITX Intel Motherboard, is there another that can be used?

What CPU are you using for this?

[potent portal]

An ITX H410? Interesting

[rain tendon]

Intel Core i7-10700K Comet Lake 8-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1200 125W Desktop Processor w/ Intel UHD Graphics 630

[earnest olive]

10700K on an H410 board

frightening

[potent portal]

That's like... the worst possible combination

[earnest olive]

i've pushed that cpu to 300W

[potent portal]

Besides maybe an i9

[earnest olive]

that would cause chernobyl on H410 vrms

lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Xkyqqs/asrock-z490-phantom-gaming-itxtb3-mini-itx-lga1200-motherboard-z490-phantom-gaming-itxtb3 this would be alright for 10700K if mini-itx is required, for some reason asrock made the itx board their only non-garbage z490

there is also a slightly cheaper H570 ITX

[fossil cedar]

Ohh good thing the h410was out of stock

[potent portal]

With a K sku processor you'd want a Z series board like the Z490

[earnest olive]

do you specifically need a mini itx board

are you doing a small form factor build

if you aren't doing a mini itx build buying a mini itx board is a bad idea

[potent portal]

You don't get to buy one of the fastest processors and then cheap out on the motherboard 😉

[earnest olive]

big price premium on itx boards

excuse me fal'cie

i am going to hammer my 5950x into my socket 423 mobo and you can't stop me

actually saw a guy literally hammer his 2700x into lga1151 mobo until there was a visible hole in the IHS

[fossil cedar]

Good luck with that XD

[rain tendon]

Doing the build from the list for a Intel build

[earnest olive]

then he listed it on facebook marketplace saying "brand new don't know why it won't turn on"

what list?

[fossil cedar]

From what list may i ask?

[potent portal]

So you haven't bought the processor yet? Good

[rain tendon]

it has everything that is needed to get a computer up

[fossil cedar]

Where is the list from?

[earnest olive]

if the list is recommending you pair a 10700K with an H410 ITX board

throw it away

it is pure garbage

[valid basalt]

Out of further curiosity, what's the intended use of the PC?

[fossil cedar]

Or easier, what case are you getting rebecca?

[earnest olive]

probably recommends corsair vengeance 3200c16 and an nzxt h510 too lol

[rain tendon]

On their build page from their site has build lists

[earnest olive]

w h o

[rain tendon]

gaming

[fossil cedar]

Which site?

Gaming.com?

[rain tendon]

Newegg

[fossil cedar]

Ohh ignore that lol

Really? Newegg recommend a h410 with 10700k :/

[earnest olive]

i'm disappointed in newegg

[valid basalt]

Do you intend to use onboard, or do you already have a video card? (normally I'd say never use onboard, but... the current market)

[potent portal]

That must have been a meme build someone did

[fossil cedar]

Yeah gotta be

[rain tendon]

Yes as one of the things for the build, but it is sold out and I will need one

[potent portal]

Probably put 4400 memory on there knowing full well it's limited to jedec

[earnest olive]

not even a good meme build

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DAOKOfan/saved/pxpKXL

this is a good meme build

[valid basalt]

Anyone got a better list for them? 😮

[fossil cedar]

Lol

[earnest olive]

not without knowing any details lol

[potent portal]

What's your budget? start with that

[earnest olive]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DAOKOfan/saved/rDk899

this is my favorite meme build

[fossil cedar]

And do you have any parts already purchased Rebecca?

[valid basalt]

needs more drives

[earnest olive]

only room for 20 sorry

4 on board, 8 on each pcie adapter

[valid basalt]

MOAR

[earnest olive]

board is smol

[fossil cedar]

Get bigger board XD

[earnest olive]

but

this is the only board that supports a 9900KS and ddr3

smol baby

[fossil cedar]

Mmm fair

[rain tendon]

Ok this is what I have already bought, PowerColor Red Dragon RX 550 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (AXRX-550-4GBD5-DH), Fractal Design Focus G Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, FD-CA-FOCUS-BK-W, and EVGA 500 BA 100-BA-0500-K1 500W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Non-Modular Active PFC Power Supply

[earnest olive]

oh no...

rx 550 with 10700K

how much did you pay for the rx 550

[fossil cedar]

Ohh yikes

500w psu ;-;

[potent portal]

That's fine with a RX 550

[earnest olive]

BA is pretty bad isn't it

[fossil cedar]

Yeah but rx 550

[fossil cedar]

D tier iirc

[earnest olive]

rx 550 barely beats UHD 750 lol

i5-11500 time

[rain tendon]

$199.99

on the RX 550

[valid basalt]

curious how a 1030 compares...

[fossil cedar]

Ohhh no

[muted patio]

Can you return any of those parts?

[valid basalt]

I've still seen those available

[fossil cedar]

Can you refund it that's an aweful deal

[muted patio]

Keep the case and return the PSU and 550

They're honestly kinda bad

[fossil cedar]

^

[winged lion]

For a more budget build, which i5 should I get (non k because b560)

[valid basalt]

heh, I also have a focus g 😮

[muted patio]

11400/11500

[winged lion]

Ok

Non h?

[muted patio]

11500 for gaming while you wait for GPU XD

[winged lion]

Oh ok

[potent portal]

The EVGA BA was low C tier btw

[rain tendon]

this build is made with a budget in mind lol

[muted patio]

We know

[earnest olive]

$200 for rx 550 is hot garbage

[muted patio]

Can still do budget with better parts

[fossil cedar]

11400, 11500 if you need the better igpu

[rain tendon]

where?

[muted patio]

Give us your total budget and we can make a PC list for you

[earnest olive]

rx 550 is barely competitive with integrated graphics lol

[muted patio]

but you need to return that 550 and power supply

[fossil cedar]

We'll help you put together a list, but start by return the power supply and the rx 550

[earnest olive]

ryzen 5 3400g easily matches a gt 1030 with decent ram

and you can still buy 3400g for 150-200 on ebay

[valid basalt]

the evga PSU is hot garbage? 😮

[winged lion]

Got it

[earnest olive]

it's EVGA BA

the BA stands for BAd

lol gtx 1050ti flexing

[fossil cedar]

The evga psu is fine for low end builds but rx 550 for 200 is hot garbage

[earnest olive]

you can buy a 1050ti for ~$200 on the used market if you really wanna spend $200 on a dedicated gpu

it's more than twice as good as your rx 550

[fossil cedar]

You gotta make sure it's legit tho

[rain tendon]

legit?

[earnest olive]

always have to be somewhat careful buying used parts

but right now used is the only way to go on a budget

[fossil cedar]

Some people might put up broken stuff on ebay etc

[muted patio]

There are too many fake 1050TI's being sold right now

[rain tendon]

I won't buy used parts at all in regards to electronics

[muted patio]

ON all the major retailers

[earnest olive]

well you are going to have to buy an i5-11500 and use the integrated graphics then

[rain tendon]

I don't buy used parts for a car lol

[earnest olive]

$200 cannot buy any brand new gpu that's not a complete dumpster fire

graphics cards don't degrade like car parts though

linus benchmarked a gtx 480 running for like 10 years in a dusty office at high temperatures against a brand new gtx 480

after the old used one was cleaned it performed exactly the same

[rain tendon]

The GPU is costing $ 325.00

[earnest olive]

$325 for an rx 550?!
