Don't trust user reviews either

Most of them have no idea what they're talking about XD

For the one I am looking at, there is no reviews on it. At least from the website itself. I'm sure if I found it on Amazon or something there will be reviews @muted patio

There's no comparison for backlight bleed, screen tearing, etc

I'd honestly go ask in #old-monitors-and-tv

What are my options for making my power cables more manageable right know i have sleaved cables but they have electrical tape or something simular at the end by the connector making them stiff.

#

My case is an o11 dynamic i want to bend the cables so they get tucked into the back area but can't bend them to get behind the board until they are sticking out quite a bit.

how to I make this build cheaper. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YNTydD

System Builder

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

cooler comes with paste

#

extra fans aren't really a need, it's quite nice to have with 4000d but you can get away without it

hallow glen Apr 25, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

thats only 8 dollars

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

saving money comes one step at a time

#

You can step down to a phanteks amp 750w for 110$

hallow glen Apr 25, 2021, 6:18 PM

ok

not sure the prices in the us, but that ram should be cheaper

hallow glen Apr 25, 2021, 6:28 PM

ram prices are up i think

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 6:28 PM

meh, not much cheaper

hallow glen Apr 25, 2021, 6:28 PM

used to be 70 dollars

odd cosmos Apr 25, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

ok yea ig so

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

and imo ballistix is worth the 8$ over the other ones since tuning reve is op

#

and b560 allows you to do so

#

but if you have to, there's a xpg kit for 8$ cheaper for 3000c16

#

otherwise, it's fine

#

wait nvm I'm blind grab this kit @hallow glen

no

What

hallow glen Apr 25, 2021, 6:44 PM

no that is the latency

lower is better

Scaling on some random bench I found for example

2 generations old on a dead-end platform isn't great

#

Very annoying

queen dagger Apr 25, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

fair, do you have any suggestions? im willing to spend about another 250, i have a price limit of roughly 2000

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

My reasoning is a 10700k with a z490 board would perform basically the same, except the CPU is cheaper and the chipset has more upgradability (up to 10900k max)

queen dagger Apr 25, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

fair point, but i dont like how hot 10th gen gets

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

Well, 9900k is also very hot

#

At stock, 9900k pulls more power than 10700k, although 10700k OCs a bit higher all core and pulls a bit more

#

10th gen also filled the gap between die and ihs iirc

#

(better thermal conductivity)

queen dagger Apr 25, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

so uh i might actually be able to do a 10700k

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

Just depends on how annoying it is to swap z390 board for z490

#

9900k isn't bad, just sub optimal

queen dagger Apr 25, 2021, 6:59 PM

#

well its not installed its in my closet 🤣

#

mhm 😅

get usb stick, download and put driver on, stab stick into pc

but it might work without having to do so, and you can just get updated drivers again

Nope, not that i know of you have a way larger chance by using the stock informer site anyway because there is a big stock of them in a warehouse somewhere i doubt any shops are bothering to ship to each one

Whoever pinged me a link you can dm it to me

In NA, stock supply comes bi-weekly on Best Buy and through Newegg Shuffle. In the UK and Europe, stock comes when it comes. I suggest finding stock alerting servers and other alerting systems

Where do I install the 970 evo first slot of the m.2 or the 2nd one

Mobo is b550 aorus elite v2

fossil cedar Apr 25, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

restive mortar Where do I install the 970 evo first slot of the m.2 or the 2nd one

first

#

you can do 2nd too tho

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

Does it matter I do t think it’s pcie gen 4

#

So first one

#

vagrant olive Apr 25, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

the first one is better

#

since its most likely gen 4

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

So I should put the 970 evo I. The forst roght

vagrant olive Apr 25, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

just checked, the top slot is pcie gen 4

#

yes the slot covered by the heatsink

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

Ok

#

Ok thx

#

Wait so 970 evo is pcie gen 4

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

No

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

But can I put it in the pcie gen 4 slot

#

Also I have 32 gig 3600 cl16 ran

#

Ran

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

On a B550 motherboard, M.2_1 is connected via CPU lanes, which happen to be PCIe 4.0
Pcie is backwards compatible.

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

Will it work

#

Ok

#

On b550 aorus elite v2 is it A2 b2 for dual channel ram

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

Iirc yes

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

Ok so will my ran work

#

3600 cl16

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

It should

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

Ok

#

Also

#

Is it the 1 and 3rd a lot

#

For dual channel

#

It doesn’t say in the mobo book

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

Usually 2&4 away from the cpu

#

I'll check again

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

Ok

frank stirrup Apr 25, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

1 and 2 are one channel

#

3 and 4 are the 2nd channel

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

I want dual channel

#

CUse I got 2

#

Sticks

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

frank stirrup Apr 25, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

So technically you should still get dual channel benefits even with slot 1 and 4

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

Taken from the manual

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

frank stirrup So technically you should still get dual channel benefits even with slot 1 and 4

Usually wouldn't work tho

frank stirrup Apr 25, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

But 2 and 4 are always to be put in first

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

But ye 2&4 away from cpu

frank stirrup Apr 25, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

stoic island Usually wouldn't work tho

If it does, its technically still dual channel

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

frank stirrup Apr 25, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

Even if it doesn’t its technically still dual channel lol

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

Like that right

#

#

M.2 is under the heat sink

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

No

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:29 PM

?????

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:29 PM

2 and 4

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

Ohhhh

#

Sry

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

Second and Fourth slots away from the cpu

frank stirrup Apr 25, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

You put it in 1 and 4

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

Ok fixed it

viral ore Apr 25, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

thats dual channel, but the difference in trace length and layout could effect max stable speed, but if XMP runs like that than so be it

#

ofc its dependent on the board, it might refuse to boot like that who knows

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

@viral ore wouldn't daisy chain just refuse to work?

#

If you did 1 and 4

viral ore Apr 25, 2021, 9:34 PM

#

thats true

#

if thats the memory trace topology, of course

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 9:34 PM

#

Forgot the name of the other one, but the equidistant one should be fine

#

Ye talking about memory topology

restive mortar Apr 25, 2021, 9:46 PM

spice badger Would AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU 16GB DDR4-3200 RGB RAM AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT - 8GB ...

probs better but 1660 super and 11400 would be a good bit better than 5500xt and 3600

stoic island Apr 25, 2021, 10:01 PM

But ram

#

If it's 1x8 against 2x8, the 2x8 just wins

fossil cedar Apr 25, 2021, 10:01 PM

but add a stick

frank stirrup Apr 25, 2021, 10:01 PM

depends if you have bios flashback or not

it yes, you just plug in usb with bios on it then press button

#

if not, you gotta go into the bios with a working cpu and update it thru the existing bios

olive kraken Apr 26, 2021, 3:15 AM

vagrant olive thats def high

Ooh I never got noti, Yes they are spinning and my fans r high. I just find it easier to have a constant speed instead of making a curve and testing

#

I had HW info up all day and ran benchmark + played games and Gpu stayed at under 60c

#

But yeah 75% seems pretty high but I don't have a case and ai can't hear them whilst sitting a few inches away from it so as long as I don't break the fans...

this is my gpu fan curve

its a dual fan 3060

obsidian wigeon Apr 26, 2021, 5:45 AM

#

jet engine noises be like

vagrant olive Apr 26, 2021, 5:56 AM

#

its pretty quiet

#

i used to have it be 0% until 30C and then go to 40% at 45C but it would constantly hover around that temp and the fans would go off/on so i figured it would be simpler to just have it 40% base

So I just finished building my computer(I don't have an os loaded on to it yet), and when I turn it on, two of the four Ram sticks don't light up, but everything else does. All of the fans spin, but not the GPU fans. I assume yall probably need more info to help me, but this is kind of the general idea of what is going on. Just ask as many questions as you need

i can try a similar fan curve and see if it works

it probably depends on your gpu but I can't even hear the fans spinning until it goes over 80% which is like 2000 something rpm

otherwise considering that I dont play graphic intensive games, capped at 1440p 180fps I wont even hit 90% usage of gpu

the 360 is oos rn

@hallow glen went and watched that bit, linus is not giving enough context, reasoning that Linus may say it performs worse is because the IF can't handle 1:1 with that fast ram, and the gains are even lower nowadays since IF can do 2000mhz much more frequently, making running the full 5100c19 with 2:1 or something much less attractive than going smth like 4000c14 on AMD.

#

4800c14 was also the meta ram oc according to forky, and not that unobtainable

@frank stirrup Zen 3 with agesa 1.2.0 makes it easier

frank stirrup Apr 26, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

So basically beta bioses?

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

It used to be you need goldest of gold samples on Zen 2

#

@frank stirrup no 1.2.0 released like a month ago

#

1.2.0.2 or whatever the one with the usb fix was isn't out yet

frank stirrup Apr 26, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

Ahh I see

frank stirrup Apr 26, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

stoic island It used to be you need goldest of gold samples on Zen 2

Yeah

#

Thats really nice then

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

Like it's still not every chip

frank stirrup Apr 26, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

Silver+?

#

Or gold+?

#

Bronze sample definitely wont right?

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 8:56 PM

#

Its like Zen 2 5% of chips, Zen 3 20% of chips, with agesa update, 40% of chips kinda thing

(Pulling numbers out my rear, don't quote me, but that's the impression I get)

#

And I refer to "gold sample" as just really good chip, I don't go by any standards

frank stirrup Apr 26, 2021, 8:56 PM

#

Ahhh I see

#

Used to be like 5% or so that could go 2000flck

#

Maybe less

#

Idrk

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 8:57 PM

#

Probably less tbh

#

Most I saw only hit 1900, good amount couldn't even hit 1900

frank stirrup Apr 26, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

And running flck at less speeds than ram hurts perf in many cases right

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

Uncoupled or running 2:1 hurts performance

#

To a certain point

frank stirrup Apr 26, 2021, 9:00 PM

#

Yeah

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

Guys is the ek, artic, and Galahad best preforming aioa

#

Aios

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

theyre pretty good performing aios

#

and by that i mean exceptional performance coming from all of them

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

Is there better ones

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

what cpu are you pairing ?

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

Because I might go an but one today

#

5900x

#

I want the best one

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

For a 5900x you dont need more than lets say a 240mm ek aio or galahad. LF2 is also an options

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

But I want 360 cause I got the lian li 011

#

To look in ice

#

Nice

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

alright then go with a 360 rad

#

its your choice afterall

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

But which know

#

One

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

whichever one that looks good to you, all of them will cool your 5900x efficiently

#

at this point aesthetics is the determining factor, well also cost but I assume you have that figured out

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

Is there a such thing of best performing aio

#

Yah

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

There's nothing that performs better than freezer ii in noise normalized GN testing

#

Galahad slightly edges it out at 100% fan speed iirc

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

also a heck of a price deal to break for Lf2

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

Wdym

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

im talking about price to performance, its hard to beat that

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

Freezer ii is like 100$ for 240mm

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

probably should've worded it differently

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

What’s after artic

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

Ah I thought you meant price is deal breaker lmao

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:16 PM

thats my bad lol

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

Wait what’s after galihad

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

Ek-aio, galahad, freezer ii, all around the same

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

wicked frigate What’s after artic

well as Mr just stated, in gamers nexus testing nothing beats arctic lf2 in noise normalized testing (no obnoxious noise) and you get the chase

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

After that there's the rest of standard asetek

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

What’s if2

#

Artic freezer

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

Unless you like loud noises, liquid Freezer ii, galahad, ek-aio best options

#

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:17 PM

Espolan, do you prefer rgb ?

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

Yah but I got ll120 fans

#

So I should be good right

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

..

#

you'd be surpried about LL120's peformance lol

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

Why

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

for such expensive fans they really are..how should i put this? sub par at best.

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

Is it that good

#

Are they that good

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

simply due to the frame thickness, blade design, bearing quality, and overall price of the fans.

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

I got 9

#

I got them for 100

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:18 PM

I thought they were good

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

Arctic P12's are op fans

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

its just corsair being corsair, overpricing their products and people still buy them. probably because of their brand name

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

wicked frigate I thought they were good

Good looking, yes for most people

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:19 PM

stoic island Arctic P12's are op fans

arctic p12 cos 😩
mwah such great fans

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:19 PM

But there performance isn’t good

enermax tb silence advs are also nice

Good performance in general, not really

Your saying

Can’t anymore

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:20 PM

Literal best performing has to be between nidex GT and nf-a12x25 imo

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:20 PM

#

stoic island Gelid stellas sketch me out for some reason lol

pretty sure Mario (idk if you know him) did a teardown on them

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:20 PM

#

Don't know them, I mean the scarcity

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

ah yea they dont really have a big brand name do they

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

(buying is sketch, I don't doubt the quality)

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

Wait how do ll 120 look on artic

#

Looks

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

Who knows

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

but looks are subjective so

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

I'd think it'll be fine

#

Putting rgb fans on rads isn't a new thing yaknow

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:21 PM

clearly lol

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:22 PM

I mean cooling would be fine right

#

Ll120

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:22 PM

Nothing will overheat hopefully

@wicked frigate https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yLBhP6
looks like your on the fence with your decisions. personally i'd go with this.
as for the rest of the case fans something like stellas or squas would fit the chassis well

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

When they own the fans, freezer ii just fine

theres also ek basic as an option
it looks really good imo

I don't know

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

What would I guess

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

No one really fan swaps on freezer ii for rgb

#

But it should be just fine

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

Why

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

Who would

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

because Lf2 is meant to be a non rgb option
thats why its so cheap
would be futile to put fans such as Ll120's on them lol

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

If they want rgb they'd just get ek-aio or galahad lol

#

Ye

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

So should I get that

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:26 PM

stoic island Apr 26, 2021, 9:29 PM

Like I think galahad has a fill port

#

Or ek-aio, forgot

little osprey Apr 26, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

wicked frigate I am confused on which one to get lol

If you dont mind the non rgb pump design and the chonk vrm fan coming out of the LF2 go for that.
but if you want an RGB pump as well as some more well performing rgb fans the EK- AIO is youre route
also price should be play a factor in your decision.

wicked frigate Apr 26, 2021, 9:30 PM
