yea it just says 64hz
idk why
my monitor says it's 120hz but i checked that and searched up a tester which said it was 64hz too
it's a 165hz monitor btw
dp
ok, what settings show up in the windows settings
hm
ok go to that same page and click Display Adapter properties for Display 1
then go to monitor and see if you can change the refresh rate there
Gotta go into settings on the monitor itself and cjange tefresh rate. ;)
Technically thats overclocking it
ive never gone into my actual monitor settings before and honestly i dont want to
aoc monitors got janky af monitor setting control
AYE
i got it fixed
now its 164.998 hz aye
lol
wait guys how do u check if cpu is fullying functioning
ctrl+alt+del then do task manager and click performance
itll tell you what the cpu is doing
I'm doing a new build. Have everything except for CPU, motherboard & RAM.
Should I get 11th Gen or 10th Gen? Build is for gaming & work. (Game engine, Buildbox, Blender, Photoshop etc...)
what if the fps on the game is getting less than expected?
ur being scammed out of .002 hz
lmao
😔
Who can help me with my monitor
can you show us the parts you have so far and your budget so we can help more with a balanced build
I installed it but its wrong
since you haven gotten your mobo yet you still have the option of amd, which may be better depending on ur budget
how do i bench mark my computer?
i use cinebench r23 for cpu, and 3dmark for gpu
cinebench still good for cpu bench
@vagrant olive
bro
theres a whole site called pcpartpicker.com
that does that entire spreadsheet for you basically
lmao
Um
my man created pcpp in google sheets
ok
im impressed lmao
First time I've seen that
how much should the 11500 get?
Looks real nice
cinebench will compare your cpu result to others with the same cpu
kk
Lol. Was just tryna keep track of the money I spent so far.
it can do that too, if you mark it as purchased
input what you paid
youll know what you spent and whats left to spend
how to u download cinebench?
lol
need those sweet hwbot points
@vagrant olive I'm ok with spending 2 additional grands for the remaindingparts.
ok so you still need cpu mobo and ram
Yup
you're not gonna need to spend 2k on those just fyi
I'm leaning towards the Strix motherboard, just not sure if I wanna go 11th gen or 10th gen cpu
but so hard to get lol
intels the budget option as of rn
so this is more of a workstation build right
(Game engine, Buildbox, Blender, Photoshop etc...)
Yes, but the gaming I do puts, my current system through more stress.
VR, Microsoft Flight Sim. COD.etc..
ah
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tJXTgt for intel
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L7B82V for amd
damn thats what i did except i was gonna give him an x570 aorus master
MY current system is good, but I'm giving it to my Son. That the reason for a new build.
oh yeah didnt see that ur right
i just got my 5600x for my very first build today and on first try it posted with no issues B)
id recommend the amd option @long fjord bc more cores and higher speeds
nice! did you have to update bios?
nope
I'm also buying two 2TB Gen 4 m.2 ssd's
damn lucky
it wouldnt have been to bad either i have bios flashback
tho my rtx 550 is hurtin pretty bad tryin to keep up
still waiting on a 3070
oh ok in that case i'd recommend this hue https://pcpartpicker.com/list/29cFMv
a bit pricier mobo but itll be able to utilize those gen 4 nvme speeds
just those three things alone is about as much as my fully built pc
ahaha
Wow, I already have about 3 grands spent.
good lord
top of the line gonna cost ya
xd
u all think this is legit lol

Thanks for Watching
-Franky
Looks like my total cost will be about $4,500.
you arent wrong but just looking at that my wallet is having a stroke
And a 5950x??
oh but that has a good like to dislike ratio?
did you see the rest of his build
i read the code, it seems legit
I mean if you can get one more power to you
but i have my doubts tho
oh wait you did
it bascially says
where would you guys recommend i get a windows key?
i found an rtx 2070 super on ebay but its used is it still a good idea to buy
You can activate windows for free dude
if this error code shows up, it types in an act key
and if this error code shows up, it types another one
depends on price
probably mined with, but if its a good price
There's actually a workaround for it lol
is it legit?
its 1000 canadian dollers
i just used a key from a laptop that i stopped using 7 years ago
thats quite cheap for a 2070s today
found it collecting dust in my garage
ye but its used
oh how do u get the key from those?
average used going price is 900 usd
Has buyers protection or not
My current setup.
if its an OEM key (like from a laptop that you bought that came pre installed with windows 10) it might not work
alr lemme c
oh so yeah its a good price then
but theres always a chance bc mine somehow did
it's a old computer tho idk if it works
yeah
i think windows on that thing expired years ago
was like 1 year windows
or mst
will that work lol
do them expire?
could i possibly have a key?
like windows on them
lol
no the windows doesnt expire
darn so close
they dont?
wait how do u find the windows key on a old laptop?
i can't find command prompt lol
you just go to the windows search bar and type cmd
nvm
i found lol
i searched command
instead of cmd
that cmd doesn't work
uh
it says the code can't be found
wait i got it

bro what
So i have my pc all set up however it’s saying I NEED to connect to Ethernet
How can I set it up with wireless wifi?
does your motherboard come with wifi?
I don’t know, it’s the Z490 a pro by MSI
It gives a long paragraph not answering if it was wifi
doesnt look like it comes with wifi
rip
are you unable to use ethernet, if only just to set stuff up?
Ah I need to get a Ethernet cable
you can get a pcie wifi card for pretty cheap
yes
PC isn't POSTING, any lights on the motherboard?
@vagrant olive does that thing you linked me give me wireless wifi?
It’s not expensive sooo I’m digging it
i remember i had to move my monitor to my build area to turn it on, and i turned it on for the big reveal and nothing happened and i realized i forgot to plug in the monitor's power
yes its a wifi card
yes
Okay sounds good
If it says no signal it has power LOL
Idek where to put it
can you send us a picture of ur mobo
on ?
im going to assume a b450M steel legend
wait a minute, what GPU is that?
1660
How are there 8 pins crammed in there
8 pin for a 1660?
yeah
i counted
still tho it doesnt look all the way in
Huh, Ok but it looks like they aren't seated all theway
the connectors have little tabs that you use to lock them together, and they're not locked together
kinda hard to make out in that image but
you see that little spot that looks like it bridges them
yes
it like clips the 2 pin onto the other 6 pins
i se
How long has it been like that?
an hr ago
thats how it should be
good pic
ty i just took it
Yeah, you're missing a hold down thumbscrew on the CPU cooler
nic
ddamn wtf just noticed one of my 8 pin things is like half out'
Bottom right
eh its prolly fine
is everything properly connected?
-_-
Do it right
is this good enough
That looks fine
very good
With no video out, the system isn't POSTing, I'd honestly unplug all of the SATA drives and see if it will POST.
now where's the cooler screw
relaxing
mmmmm oki
I wasn’t here for the conversation but is there an error light on the mob?
Doesn't have any lights
i checked his mobo manual i dont think there are error leds
There aren't
Mine had then
some mobos dont
Which is how I found out the ram was broken
Lol ok I was just suggesting
Broken as in it had weird xmp profiles
guys yk what it could be
Had to reset bios
my monitor wont change source
and click the buttons?
Yea and change from whatever it is on rn
i did
To dp
Or what u are using
Reason: Bad word usage
oh
it was to DVI or some [thing ] like that
anyways
What AIO is that
YAH
looks like idcooling pinkflow 240
Can’t you just switch input
It’s not that hard
im just saying what he said without word ask him
Oh nvm lol
And no signal right
What kinda of monitor
spectre
Not exactly sure what it looks on your end but how do u know u switched input if it doesn’t tell you?
thats why i said i dont know if it actually did
For example mine, which is an asus one, when u switch input it shows smt like now using dp
mine doesnt
Ummmm
So it doesn’t show if it switched input
Yea I mean u said but to confirm
Is there a manual
mhm
Check it out definitely will help
I don’t know what it shows on your end so I have no idea what happens when you switch input so it’s difficult to judge if it did
Can u send some pictures if that’s an option
yahh
Alr Alr
thats me trying to change the source
Well yeah, it's not gonna stay on DP if there's no signal to it. The PC isn't POSTing
We still don’t know if it’s monitor or system yet yk
u said to unplug all sata drives?
Maybe monitor is just not able to switch input
bruh LMAO
Ok ig so then
its not the monitor
Bios reset?
U think that will work @muted patio
Btw u are sure that u plugged everything in where it’s supposed to go?
And what works atm?
i think i did im pretty positive
my pc turns on
but
like i said
the keyboard and mouse
Doesn’t post ok
Oh that could be just the USB ports not connected
Did he ever seat the power correctly?
u plug into back of mobo or usb ports on the case?
back of mobo
RGB on cooler turning on?
you have 24pin power plugged in fully?
no
yes
was the PC turning on before you painted everything?
wdym
oh this is a new
damn thats a long time lol
yah it was my first time building one and i watched like 5 different tutorials 🧍♀️
mmm
YES
Let’s get one thing clear, what works atm?
Does the rgb on fans work for example
Picture
yes
Ok that’s good then
why would that matter
if it wasn't turning on that would be a horrible psu/mobo problem
Shows that he plugged power on lol
what
Picture of cpu power
Like the 24 pin is in
Nice build so far in terms of aesthetics
thank u !!
ALSO
what???
450 i think someone said it
Oh Alr
the rgb doesnt work on the top fans
Nvm then lol
Is there any indicators on the mob of any errors
I get that there might not be led indicator but there could
Is there a small red dot o
Show me the 24 pin/cpu power
uhhh no
It could be a ton of things
do u want me to unplug it @little osprey
We can’t really just test everything
oki
Could be mis plugged cables, ram, cpu malfunction, etc
So many things that can’t account for
Thus something like a led indicator helps a lot to narrow down the issue
All manufactures should have one of those smh
isnt it
Um lemme c the thing is loading lol on data rn wifi broken
looks like the 24pin needs a shove
its so hard
yea
Lmao yes
Supposed to be
It’s not in
it has a clip on the long side, make sure it's clipped on
oki
And remember not to touch it when ur testing if it posts lol
Is it posting?
no like the monitor drags in general to change source
its still not turning on?
nope
UGH
I’m trying me best lmao
Yes, top left white one
I just built one tdy and it wasn’t posting for a while
Same situation everything turned on
And I did bios reset since xmp
oki
Turn it on now
no display
Take GPU out, you know that little circle silver thing you saw under PCIe slot?
take it out
and put it back in
oki
The igpu in 11500 better and it’s worth the money
Change the CPU to an 11500
Yes that’s what I said
And change the CPU to a ID-cooling 224 XT
It’s not that much better admittedly but it’s worth the money
Given that u are not using gpu anything u can get from igpu is valuable
what little circle thing
Wait and mando, he should also prob get better power supply right
Yea
More than enough for 1660
Lol yea
And
While u are at it
looks like this
Get 3600 ram the igpu will like it
its SFX
yes that
not many options
I was thinking he gonna get better gpu lol
take it out, and put it back in 15 seconds later
Push the little metal pin and the battery falls out
Cause 550 not enough these days
It is
^
Never said it’s not enough for him
Thought he was gonna get high end gpu
Yea lol sorry for misunderstanding
You made a general statement and mando corrected you
why is it so hard to take it off
Press the little metal clip on the side
Itll fall out
your finger is likely too big and keeping the battery in
You pressing it towards the battery or away from the battery?
away
Don’t use knife lmao that thing should come off no need for knife
Good, now do that with some thin
its the only way it lets me push
i said something thin
"like" a knife
If u do it right, it’s not that hard to fall out
not everybody has long fingernails
Its not coming off according to him tho

Ig then
@formal wren Use a screwdriver to push it away
pls i dont know if u r joking or not
UHUH
It actually could work
no
Bruh what why
is the back panel on?
put it on and slap back of pc
Yes
while holding the metal pin away
R u guys joking huhhhhhhh
No
no
oki good
No
U shouldn’t need to slap it for it to come outtt
Again, it isnt coming out according to him
her
U can try to get someone else to pull that metal piece for you and u
🙏🙏
I stand corrected
How is that gonna help
U try to pull it
Are you pushing the metal pin far enough?
do that with your nails and use screwdriver to get battery out
Slap back of pc while pushing it back
Then get someone else to pull the battery out while u pull the metal part
It’s more safe lnao
ok nvm
Bruh slapping it isn’t that safe
im not doing that
😐

my hand slipped
Its very safe
U could drop the pc first of all
Reason: Bad word usage
omg
And there are so many ways it could go wrong
please don't tell me you scratched something
That’s exactly why u don’t slap it
Slapping isnt the same thing as exerting 1000 newtons of fore with a hammer draco
i didnt slap it tho
Bruh u are giving false advise to slap and possibly drop it
i'll ping a mod rn
She is supporting the other side via the clip
Do you are have dumb?
rule 6 and 11
Hello falcie
I’m saying u could drop the system, u have to get what I mean that thing is heavy....
@formal wren what happened
i dont know anymore
Exactly its heavy
A slap isnt gonna do a thing
record where you hit the mobo with screwdriver (im assuming what you did)
Why would you hit it while you're holding it? Tables exist
^
Send a pic too
this area 😞
But u get what I mean when I say u could drop the system while trying to slap it
omg bet
I don’t get how hard it can be I literally just did it
Not all mobos are the same
shut
I have the same one 😐
Just put the back pannel on and slap it while holding the clip down
Doesn't matter...
Production varies with stuff like that
random crap will bend
U can’t jump to slapping before u try something more safe first
Retention force is different on each one
Like a knife?
Thats less safe
Anywho, @formal wren you're sure you're pressing the pin far back enough?
So wait we're trying to get cmos battery out? Is there not a jumper or button?
Never said a knife lmao
Try smt like a thin metal piece
i'll check manual
So a knife then
Record you doing that
Or again, like I did, get someone else to pull the metal back while u get the battery out
Just hold the pin all the way back and slap the other side of the pc
It should fall out
Screwdriver might be pushing it in
whats that
From what im seeing in this pic, one side is out and the side towards the clip isnt
bottom right
use the screwdriver and put it inbetween them making sure it touches both
hold it there for 5 seconds
you do it?
If the screwdriver has a magnetic tip that might not work. If it does have a black tip like that use something else metal.
^
?best 1500 dollar prebuilt for games like warzone and fortnite?
never heard of that, why doesn't magnetic screwdriver work?
i just bought one recently
Because you need metal to short the pins
is magnetized steel not metal
I think some of them are
Some of them work, some don't. I think some have a thin plastic layer to protect it from being demagnetized
guys whats a safe memory temp on a gpu?
for what situation?
Any1 can help me build a pc
when bios is taking over 10 mins to turn the pc on😁
Uhhhol
do i need to upgrade the thermal pads or smthn
No just improve the airflow between the sticks, a small fan usually does the trick.
Oh I read that as system memory hitting 94 lol
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jxgRxc
just made this 1500$ pc list, whatcha think?
What gpu is it? A lot of 30 series cards have issues with thermal pads
3080
Unnecessarily expensive mobo
Slow ram
Bad ssd
Like value wise
Which one exactly?
one by hp
I see, I'm gonna make it better
Thank you for your advice
Np
Oh eww oem gpu
Let me see if anyone has done a teardown and what the cooler situation is.
Hp has a bad one iirc
Dell actually has a decent one somehow
bad in what aspect?
Cooling wise
Yep the hp 3080 is pretty bad
https://www.reddit.com/r/HPOmen/comments/lrt6dl/hp_3080_teardown/
It would benefit from new thermal pads and paste for sure. Get 1mm and 3mm pads.
best pads available rn?
Anything is better than nothing, which is what you have now
okay then suggestions on thermal paste?
Good old arctic silver would do the trick, cheap and a good standby
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ns877X
just updated my 1500$ pc list, whatcha think?
Get a mushkin pilot e ssd
better value than the samsung
650w for 120$??
B560*
My pc wont get out of the bios menu does somebody know how to fix this problem cause my pc is kinda useless now
I assume you have tried to press the exit option/
also when did this start happening?
I have tried to leave the bios but it kent sending me back
This started from the first time I have started it
It isnt the ram cause it shows them and I replacement them
@magic lotus
Alrighty here's a build i'm thinking of building but not sure about the pricing, either it's wrong or way too inflated
Then what is it supposed to do except go to bios if no os?
So I download windows on a drive and than put it in the pc?
And than use a windows key to boot
Ditch the samsung ssds dont need an x570 mobo don't need the 2 things of paste ram is overpriced
Are you crazy??????
Crazy ? I'll wait for the Ram to drop down and the for the motherboard, I couldn't find a Motherboard that's compatible for the Ryzen 7 5800x,
Wdym Crazy ?
For what purpose is this buil?
Build
Alot of things that wont give you more preformance and just a waste of money
I'm thinking of building this during college and some reasonable animation for classes
32gb should be fine
Mane, i guess i over did it on the parts
You dont need 2 thermal pastes
With the saved money u can mabye buy a new monitor or a second or third
also samsung ssds are realy expensive you can get cheaper ones
The 2 thermal paste is: One for me and the other is a gift to a friend of mine
Oh ok
I dont think that $10 is the problem
Hahah lol
And ofc dont buy a 3080 for 2500...
Ah, I was thinking of going with Adata or Kingston
It's being scalped sadly.....
Think thats smarter
Yeah just wait to get it for normal price
Just keep looping at prices and there will be some deals
I have a 1660 super in my build too
But I havent installed windows yet
I htg
Good Luck with your builds and everything
I'll have to revise it and see if the changes are decent
Still way overkill but budget better spent
Tbh just get 2 8TB hdds insted of the 860 evos
Thank you, I appreciate it it very much this looks more promising than more overkill with performance than Overkill on my wallet
If they want large ssds and can pay for it why not get faster storage
Np haha
It's much more reasonable but, i already have two hdds
I mean if he doesnt need it to be fast... he allready has 2x2tb of m.2 ssds
i want half of the parts silent like +100 sneak
ok
I mean they clearly want all the perf and have the money for it lol
plot twist: I don't have it yet, i'm start by saving it up with the help of 24/7 job service
Well there's def places you can save money then like you can get 4tb hdds for 80$
But no sneeak so
Or less ram if you dont need it
what are you planning to do with the pc?
128gb is way over what you will need for standart usage
Yeah 64gb is plenty
I'll be using it for College, while blendering, sfm, gaming and doing video editing at the same time
what are some good cpu fans for 10th gen i5
Se-224-xt
ty
Wait a moment, that thing is 140 cad?!
Should be 30usd
Yeah the se and vetroo pricing in cad is whack
For cad get gammaxx 400
Yea
That’s the model I got and it’s working out pretty well
Can barely hear it
Wait guys, is there any performance difference when it comes to atx vs matx
Or just size
Oh ok 64 should still be enough but if you are allready going for overkill pc and you want 128 go for it i guess
Anything wrong with this?
I tested out some games and feel like it should be getting more FPS
Yeah, UBM is a horrible comparison
There's no verification to it and it's honestly useless
Oh Alr
Compare to real benchmarks
Anything that is good?
Like in actual games
To test it?
3d mark
Cause feel like something is off
It's integrated graphics, it's going to be super low
It's still integrated
Compare benchmarks like Timespy or something
Or your FPS in game to another test of it of the same game
Size
Yea like other than that
Nope
oh
alright then
wait so it's prob not worht it to retunr this board and get a new one right
and get something like this
since it has wifi and after adding wifi to the first board, it's like only 20 dollars less
If you return and install a new board, have to reactivate Windows
oh yea
Just keep the board you have and add a WiFi card if you need wifi
um then it's prob not worth it
yea i got a 50 cad wifi card
but is the asus one better?
No
in terms of performence, features and such
There's no reason to switch
Quality PSU 650w fully modular that’s not loud?
Segotep 650w gold on Amazon
Post link
huh?
yep
Never raven heard of segotep
It's good, grab it
Do you really think we'd recommend it if it was garbage on a tech server?
Join segotep gang
lol
should i switch cus im not sure either
Im a little concerned about the cooler TBH
10600K can get warm
I know the Gammax 400 is good, not sure about the GTE
so should i go gammax 400 just to be safe
I would, we know that one works
k
lmao gte is better i think
i mean it has more rpm but not sure abt anything else
RPM doesn't mean much
Yeah, it is a good board tho. Got that and a 10600K for my wifes build a while back
I think regular price is 189 or something
MX4 is fine
is 80+ bronze 600wgood
Those ratings mean nothing
lmao
