Yeah, true, but the my GPU helps my CPU only use 1/4 of what it was using.

potent portal
#

Yeah it does 1080p60 on the Intel igpu lol

empty cipher
#

Lol

#

Nic3

#

I play at 160 FPS on comp settings though. Steady frames too.

fossil cedar
#

That's like saying you can do csgo 1440p lol

empty cipher
#

Do not mention the devil's game lol

#

I miss the old CS:GO where it didn't stutter a lot.

fossil cedar
#

Csgo can still run fine on a laptop with an ipgu lol

empty cipher
#

Yeah, but when I played it on a ASUS Notebook with a GTX 1060 ti it stuttered. A lot.

#

Idk why either.

fossil cedar
#

Probs just weird settings

empty cipher
#

I expected the 1060 ti to be a really good GPU for a laptop.

#

Especially since it was suppose to be better than the regular 1060 GPu

#

I think? The laptop acted weird since I got it. I bought it brand new from Best Buy and it already had problems when I opened it up. I just didn't notice until it was too late. An update for windows completely busted my HDD and SSD and corrupted my memory for some reason.

#

1060 mobile is about a desktop 1650 in performance

The storage devices aren't even accessible

can talk in here or will i get ban

y would u get ban

#

wanted to thank those in here that helped me out (even if I didn't always follow your advice 😉 ). My build LIVES 😄

#

They bad

valid basalt
#

I've actually been happy with the westinghouse past few months

frank stirrup
#

Also the aorus elite has only 4 fan headers

valid basalt
#

I knew it was a bit of a risk but every other high hz monitor was costly at the time

frank stirrup
#

so you will need fan hubs if you wanna add more than 3 case fans

valid basalt
#

I am finding the fan headers a bit of a annoyance, but I'm not filling out the fans for now (I value quiet)

#

but I figured I'd just get a hub

fossil cedar
#

Why is that d15 2x price of non black wtf

valid basalt
#

the PSU I kinda bounced back and forth on- lot of people go high, but this one should handle it.

frank stirrup
#

Get a windows key off of ebay for like 10$ and spend the rest on maybe 750 or even higher W psu

frank stirrup
valid basalt
#

I got my windows key for free elsewhere

#

Legally

frank stirrup
#

Always better to go bigger

valid basalt
#

that's what she said.

frank stirrup
#

For a 5900X with a 3060ti I would go minimum 750W

fossil cedar
#

Also hope you didn't spend that much on a 1650

muted patio
#

5900x only pulls 150W

#

3060TI 200W

frank stirrup
#

Thats average tho right

#

not peak

muted patio
#

Nah that's peak

fossil cedar
frank stirrup
#

They said they have it on order

frank stirrup
valid basalt
#

patokov - gpu is a holdover from old system, as are the drives

muted patio
#

Absolute max if you tweak the heck out of the 5900x you might see 190W

valid basalt
#

thankfully I bought the super well before this... nonsense

#

main limitation on the PSU is going to be if I can somehow up the gpu. If a 3080/or the upcoming ti magically fell in my lap I'd gladly buy a new psu. For now... this will do

fossil cedar
#

Good good

frank stirrup
valid basalt
#

only issue I have so far is for some odd reason I thought the elite had a slot for a m.2 style wireless, it does not. Not that I use wireless but I do use bluetooth

frank stirrup
#

it has wifi 6 and bluetooth built in

valid basalt
#

Already purchased and up and running.

#

I think the "up charge" for wifi on mobo's is also kinda excessive for what you are getting.

muted patio
#

Depends on the board

#

My Tuf, it was a $20 upgrade, no brainer there

valid basalt
#

that's not too bad. For now I just popped the BT adapter I had extra in.

#

If I find myself in a wireless situation I'll either make do with one of my USB extras or buy a newer one.

alright gamers, so i know now is not the time to do either of the upgrades i want but im planning on upgrading some part of my pc the second it is reasonable. my current build is here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mbHF68 and i was wondering what you guys think would be the best upgrade. I have a 2tb hdd coming soon i just didnt include it because its not here yet

#

i wanna plan ahead this time unlike my first build ssadge

fading kindle
#

Yall have tech support ?

muted patio
#

From Newegg themselves?

stoic island
#

It's a pretty balanced build in general

muted patio
#

For a defective product or just in general?

stoic island
#

@upper condor what are you planning to gain from an upgrade?

fading kindle
#

I have a pc that displayed on a monitor before and i gave my sibling the hdmi cord and now it wont display once i plugged it back in

#

and its not from new egg

#

in general

upper condor
upper condor
#

and to run better

#

while in vr

stoic island
#

Hm, do you know what you're currently constraint by?

upper condor
#

honestly no clue

#

nothing is at 100% usage when im usin high settings

#

besides ram but thats cause i got a million tabs always

stoic island
#

Another kit of ram may help, I'm not too familiar with how VR puts loads on things

upper condor
#

uh well i mostly play blade and sorcery which is CPU intensive

stoic island
#

Either GPU or CPU, and whether it likes cores or single core perf

#

Might be worth upgrading CPU, although upgrade path is a bit weird

#

(5800x be dumb)

upper condor
#

yeah because id need to get a new mobo as well right?

stoic island
#

No, b450 Tomahawk max should support zen 3, just a slight upgrade to a 5600x.

#

Would've liked more cores, but 5800x dumb

upper condor
#

hm really? figured b450 tomahawk was kinda bad at this point

stoic island
#

It's usable

upper condor
#

when i got it the main reason was 100% compatibility with 3600

stoic island
#

Ye

upper condor
#

i shouldve waited a few weeks 😔

stoic island
#

Meh

upper condor
#

also; any clue if theres an idea on when the market will stabilise>

#

im planning on building one for a friend as soon as possible

stoic island
#

No idea tbh

upper condor
#

dang yeah figured ig

Prebuilts if youre getting a new pc atm

not that anyone cares or anything but i bought 16gb ram and one stick was defective 😩

upper condor

yeah im geting a full refund

median grotto
#

i have so much mix matched ram

#

it makes my brain hurt thinking about how much ive spent on ram

tired turtle
#

this kit i already have or black corsair dominator been trying to decide for a minute

IMG_3772-3.jpg
#

for new build ^

muted patio
#

Depends on speed and timings

tired turtle
#

they will both be the same kit, 3600mhz cl 16

muted patio
#

Neo then

tired turtle
#

thats what i was thinking because i wanna have some white accents so not using the rgb, the white line accents, and then the corners of the fans have hints of white, rest all blackout'

robust lake
#

8 ram sticks

fossil cedar
#

Neo yeah

robust lake
tired turtle
#

lotso shmemory

#

cant have my pc forget catcry

stoic island
#

Neo looks better than dominator imo

#

Solid stick of rgb over blocks of rgb any day >:p

tired turtle
#

neo has been my favorite for quite some time i have it in both my main systems

#

i just hate installing them, the corners are so sharp

robust lake
#

Yeah they look realy good

#

Also not so high

stoic island
#

I press down on the 'flat' sections so I haven't had any issues with installation

stoic island
#

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

tired turtle
#

this is true

#

swapping this out for the primochill praxis wetbench ofr the case, new mobo, ek custom loop on an external mo-ra6 360

#

although i dont think this is the threadripper ill be using either, im waiting till august to make a final decision to see if the new threadrippers are like sub 1500$ lmao, they should be 16 core enthusiast cpu's if rumor holds

stoic island
#

Oo very nice, I assume it's a 3960x in there atm?

tired turtle
#

70x ye

stoic island
#

Fair.

tired turtle
#

but i want the rig as my main gaming rig/giant showcase piece so i dont know if i can settle with the slow clock speeds of the 70x

stoic island
#

Ek custom loop is going to be on the expensive side, compared to smth like barrow or bykski, but it should be fair pricing wise

#

Well, it ain't great but it ain't bad either

tired turtle
stoic island
#

Fair

tired turtle

luckily most of the cooling goodies are external mounted to the mo ra6

I got a ton of rgb fans sitting around

pulled the stock rgb fans from my personal build

#

Is CCleaner bad

cursive walrus
#

yo ive been uncertian about this build for a while but if anyone has suggestions please tell me lol

#

ive never built a pc before so i dont know much

muted patio
#

Ditch the Samsung drive and a Mushkin Pilot E. Just as fast, save you $20

cursive walrus
#

ok

muted patio
#

I'd recommend getting higher refresh rate monitors too if you can afford them

cursive walrus
#

ok

muted patio
#

Or 1 high refresh to play on and the other be 60hz for Discord and stuff

cursive walrus
#

i just saw them because i wanted dual monitors but non expensive ones

muted patio
#

Maybe 1440p

#

kk

cursive walrus
#

i want them to look the same

#

just so its not off

#

i can see though

muted patio
#

Yeah, 27" at 1080p can look grainy though

#

Maybe 24" instead

cursive walrus
#

ok

#

refresh rate isnt that bad of a deal for me

#

do you think i could just ditch the both and just get this?

muted patio
#

Sure!

#

The other thing you could do is go to a local Goodwill and look at the monitors they have. Could probably get another cheap monitor for $20 if it wouldn't bother you that much.

cursive walrus
#

i already have some okay monitors

#

just for discord lol

#

and for the ssd what should i get?

muted patio
#

Mushkin Pilot E

novel flame
#

Can someone build me a pc with $1500 CAD

muted patio
#

Because for the price of that 500 GB you can get 1 TB instead XD

#

UNless you only want 500 GB?

cursive walrus
#

ok here is what i have

#

added everything you suggested

south jewel
#

$100

stoic island
#

Extra fans are extra

#

Windows key is unnecessary to buy full price

#

the rest look fine

novel flame
#

Guys can someone check out if ironside computers is good

stoic island
#

ironside wack

novel flame
#

as in

#

like horibble value

stoic island
#

(seen too many sponsors xD)

#

Not too sure about quality

novel flame
#

lol

stoic island
#

horrible value is kinda a given for any prebuilt, so unless it's atrocious...

novel flame
#

can u link

#

me any good prebuilt

#

at all

stoic island
#

oh god ironside....

#

wth is this

#

1640$

#

for 8gb of ram

#

and a 1660 super

#

what are you on

austere wagon
#

Ahhh

novel flame
#

uh drugs

#

prolly

stoic island
#

that's like a 900$ laptop

austere wagon
#

My computer is better and it’s 700 dollars cheaper

stoic island
#

anyways

novel flame
#

i have 1500 CAD

stoic island
#

cad makes it a bit weirder

austere wagon
#

What can you play with 8 gigs anymore

novel flame
#

I cant build a pc I DO NOT TRUST MYSELF

stoic island
#

I'll just look for 1200usd prebuilts, and assume shipping doesn't wreck the cost

#

actually

#

wegg time

novel flame
#

lmk if u find sumthin suitable for me

#

i just need skool and gaming

#

as in valorant, apex, rocket league

austere wagon
#

Tax I can’t trust myself either, I mean it’s up to you of course but building is really straight forward the hardest part is getting the correct parts and the people here I’m sure can help you with that and whatever budget you have

novel flame
#

ill see if I can get myself to build it

stoic island
#

Canadian GPU stock is horrible afaik so I wouldn't really recommend it atm anyways

novel flame
#

but i been savin for like 3 years

#

and its finally time

stoic island
#

(like Hei showed a screenshots of 30xx GPUs being 1-year pre-order on canadacomputers iirc)

austere wagon
#

Ah yeah I keep forgetting that prebuilds are really the only way to get a GPU

novel flame
#

yeaa

austere wagon
#

Im just praying I’ll eventually win a Newegg giveaway and having a faster system

#

My current system isn’t bad at all

#

It’s just not the fastest

#

The cpu won’t need an upgrade for a while

#

GPU will last maybe another 2 years as long as I don’t play any triple a games which I don’t

stoic island
novel flame
#

ok

stoic island
#

lemme find a kit rq

novel flame
#

lmme see

stoic island
novel flame
#

OOF

#

finna cry

#

in a corner

#

till prices go down

stoic island
#

?

#

that's in cad

novel flame
#

i swear that ram used to be way less

stoic island
#

1490cad for dat

#

Well, it did xD

#

but ram prices soaring worldwide as production focuses more on ddr5

novel flame
#

ill prolly keep this in mind

stoic island
#

it'll only go up imo

slate geyser

Is there another name for a JFP Header?

muted patio
#

Front Panel connector?

slate geyser
#

Hmmm

#

Does every Mobo have a JFP header?

obsidian wigeon
#

They should

slate geyser
#

I have a z590 but it is not listed on it

zenith plume
#

Im looking to build a pc I want a 3060, if I build it on newegg and pay for the building or whatever I can get it, but will i have to wait longer for that?

slate geyser
#

thats whay I asked if there was another name for it

stoic island
#

F_Panel

muted patio
#

Almost always the bottom right of the motherboard. JFP/Front panel is a collection of smaller headers where the power switch, reset switch, HDD light and other things go

stoic island
#

Panel

slate geyser
#

there is a system panel header

#

ill show diagram

stoic island
#

JFP

slate geyser
muted patio
#

Yeah, that's where all the smaller connections go like power switch, reset switch, HDD light, etc from the front of the case

#

I guess they just call it something different

slate geyser
#

ty

lament fulcrum
#

is there a set amount of leds that can be powered off a aRGB header on a asrock 450 fatal1ty?

#

i cant find anything in the manual for it and i wanna make sure my buddy can power all his leds through it

muted patio
#

Roughly 1 amps worth of LED's

#

Same as a fan header

lament fulcrum
#

so he's got 2 InWin sirius fans

potent portal
#

Usually about 3 "strips" or devices per header in my experience

lament fulcrum
#

and an led strip, no clue what the strip is

potent portal
#

The strip is built into the fan

lament fulcrum
#

no he has a seperate strip

#

i understand what you mean by that though

#

probably 8 to 10 zones

potent portal
#

Ah how many LEDs on the standalone strip?

#

Oh 8 to 10

lament fulcrum
#

no clue i have to look at it for him

muted patio
#

Generally 4-5 fans is fine

lament fulcrum
#

he's gonna have to get a argb splitter too, none of the cables have daisy chainability, probably on purpose for specific things

potent portal
#

Or a hub

#

If you want to be really safe

lament fulcrum
#

maybe but he's got a budget build, not really necessary if he doesnt have to spend that money

potent portal
#

Hubs don't have to cost a lot

lament fulcrum
#

looks like the fans each have 12 zones

#

oh jesus

#

46 leds on the strip

#

yeah he has to get a hub

potent portal
#

Oof yeah hub would be best, lemme find one

muted patio
#

That's aRGB

#

OH, NM, dealing with aRGB

lament fulcrum
#

yeah i know for sure the fans support aRGB

#

dont know about the led strip

potent portal
#

90% chance a long strip is ARGB

muted patio
#

3 pin or 4

#

that's the easy way to tell

lament fulcrum
#

fans are 3 pin

#

ill get more info on the trip

exotic fulcrum
#

Posted our game room pics

lament fulcrum
#

if its a big pos cable, ill just find one he can get that's actually meant for this application

#

it IS 46 leds so

#

and it may be 12V ill have to look

potent portal
exotic fulcrum
#

Hehe Sofie

lament fulcrum
#

his case is

#

so the fans and rgb strip are all part of it

#

it SAYS its supposed to come with an rgb controller included but he bought it second hand so whoever he bought it from mighta nabbed it

potent portal
#

Ah that's helpful is it still has the controller then

slate geyser
#

First boot, lights fire up but no image on monitor

jagged ember
#

check if display cords plugged into right location

#

into gpu instead of mobo

#

is the connection secure?

#

is the monitor on?

slate geyser
#

tried both GPU and MOBO connections secure, monitor is on and tried all channels

#

tried swapping to a diff HDMI that I know woks

#

tried a diff monitor no change

lyric thistle
#

I had to enable PCIe gpu in bios to get it working on a 2009 board

slate geyser
#

How I get to bios if I cant get display?

lyric thistle
#

Yea I don't expect it should require you to do that in a newer board bbnohappy

#

The board itself holds the igp on that old board, the cpu doesn't have any

slate geyser
#

Yeah I dont know what to do

marble seal
#

did you try cmos reset yet

slate geyser
#

Ill have to tear down and start over to see if I missed something

#

I dont know what that is

#

this is new build first boot

marble seal
#

do you have an igpu as well btw? i didnt see what processor, just z590

slate geyser
#

10900k

#

I took out GPU and booted as well and no change

marble seal
#

i just did a new build with a z590 and 11900k and it defaulted to the igpu first boot even with gpu in, i had to use the mobo hdmi slot and configure it in bios to use the gpu one :/

#

oh so it sounds like nothing even with that

slate geyser
#

Yeah I tried both GPU and MOBO HDMI

#

I even tried display

little osprey
#

did you unplug gpu when you trying mobo output ?

slate geyser
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

do fans turning ?

slate geyser
#

yeah all fans keep spinning

little osprey
#

hmm

#

nice build btw

slate geyser
#

Thank you

#

if I can get ot to boot it will be haha

little osprey
#

is there any post code screen or something on mobo ?

#

did you reseat rams ?

slate geyser
#

no, just an orange light on boot and then goes off

#

I reseated them

little osprey
#

hmm

marble seal
#

try unplugging everything from usb and only having the monitor in

#

are there any extra internal usb hubs?

little osprey
#

since theres no out on mobo too , gpu probably working . cpu also couse fans spinning . Id recommend reset CMOS it may help

marble seal
#

i had a bad usb hub add 30+ seconds before i got any display

slate geyser
#

I unplugged all USBs

#

no change

#

How do I reset cmos?

little osprey
#

unplug all power connectors from mobo

#

and take off cmos battery

marble seal
#

there might be a header to do it

#

but yeah pop out battery is easy

slate geyser
#

i dont think there id A BATTERY

little osprey
#

left it about 10 minutes and plug it back

slate geyser
#

THERE IS A HEADER

#

sry for caps

#

a clear CMOS header

little osprey
#

nevermind heather . theres just a white battery on mobo

slate geyser
#

i see it

little osprey
#

unplug power connectors like 24pin and 8pin cpu and take that battery off too

#

and press power button few times to fully uncharge it

#

then wait about 10 minutes

#

then plug all back and see if its comes to alive or not lol

slate geyser
#

How the hell I get this battrey out lol

#

Ok battery removed

#

unbplugged

#

pressed power button

trail nacelle
#

I got a question would a evga 3060 xc bottleneck bad with a i7 10700k?

lyric thistle
#

Bottlenecking isn't something to care about much

trail nacelle
slate geyser
#

plugging all back in

lyric thistle
#

If you have something like an i7-7700K and a 3070, you'd be leaving performance on the table by not having a better CPU

#

If you have a 5950X and a 1050Ti you're not gonna be able to play games at high settings or resolutions

little osprey
slate geyser
#

fingers crossed

#

batterin back in too?

#

battery*

little osprey
#

yeah

#

of course

slate geyser
#

no change

#

8(

#

last thing

#

i have 2 M.2 no other SSD or HDD

#

they are in the bottom 2 slots

#

in the manual it said the top slot is disabled unless its 11 gen

little osprey
#

do your mobo have another x16 pcie slot ? 🤔

slate geyser
#

Yes

lyric thistle
#

Asus mobo

little osprey
#

did you tried seat gpu to that another pcie slot ?

lyric thistle
#

Guess you'll have to get an adapter for a second drive

slate geyser
#

No, i haven’t

lyric thistle
#

Could that caveat cause the computer to not boot?

frank stirrup
#

What gpu do you have

#

and is it on a riser

#

@slate geyser

little osprey
#

m2 slot disabling is couldnt stop boot i think

#

he tried mobo out too without gpu

slate geyser
#

6900xt

little osprey
#

i dont think gpu is an issue

frank stirrup
#

Uhh 1 second

#

what cpu?

little osprey
#

just maybe try to seat that gpu to another pcie slot it may can help

frank stirrup
#

if he tried without gpu and no change its not that

slate geyser
#

10900k

frank stirrup
#

Ok so try changing the m.2 slot and forcing the slot to do gen 3 speeds in the bios

little osprey
#

🤔 maybe dead mobo ? 🤔 🤔

frank stirrup
#

you can boot to bios right?

slate geyser
#

no

little osprey
#

no nothing at all

frank stirrup
#

Hmmmm

#

Do fans spin?

slate geyser
#

yes

frank stirrup
#

Is it a brand new cpu or have you tested it in another rig?

slate geyser
#

brand new

frank stirrup
#

I would RMA the cpu

little osprey
#

we tried reseat everything and cmos reset but nothing helped

#

I have doubt about mobo

frank stirrup
#

Because fan spin means something about the mobo is working

#

I had a similar problem where fans spinned but nothing beyond that

#

was the cpu

little osprey
#

yeah idk if he having any post code or error beep or light

slate geyser
#

what does RMA mean?

frank stirrup
#

basically claim warranty

little osprey
#

maybe we actually should focus on post code or light maybe it can give us answer 🤔

slate geyser
#

My eyes are dry and fuzzy

#

I will have to pick this up tomorrow

#

I been at it for like 10 hours

frank stirrup
#

If fan spin and repeated loop but no display and its not the gpu its a cpu issue

little osprey
#

yeah probably its not gpu but

#

id try it with just one slot ram too

#

ram can couse it too

#

but usually ram error post code

frank stirrup
#

Oh you didnt tell him to do ram?

slate geyser
#

I reseated ram

little osprey
#

oh cra.. i forgot to try it

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

try with just one ram

marble seal
#

try just one stick

frank stirrup
#

from the cpu

little osprey
#

and maybe another slot

frank stirrup
#

like the slot closest to cpu is slot 1

#

furthest is slot 4

#

so what 2 slots you got ram in

slate geyser
#

A2 and B2

frank stirrup
#

Good stuff

#

try booting with only that A2

#

then try removing that stick and putting the one that was in b2 in a2 and starting

#

1 stick only

little osprey
#

how did i forgot to try one stick uh

slate geyser
#

tried 1 stick no9 change

#

swapping to try the other stick as 1

#

tried second stick in A2

#

no change

frank stirrup
#

try that again in all the 4 slots

slate geyser
#

no change

frank stirrup
#

Then is most probably cpu

little osprey
#

rip then xd

frank stirrup
#

see if you can ask a friend to test out ur ram

#

in their pcs

slate geyser
#

ok

#

I can swap CPUs tomorrow

#

and try that as wekk

#

well*

#

thanks for the help

#

I appreciate it

little osprey
#

any time )

spice shore
#

can someone build me a good 700-800 dollar build for gaming

fossil cedar
#

Unless you increase budget to 1k you're better off to get a console

obsidian wigeon
#

or laptop

fossil cedar
#

The 800ish market has kinda poofed

fossil cedar
robust lake
#

You can get an i gpu build

#

With 800

fossil cedar
#

Yeah but that's not a gaming pc

robust lake
#

Yeah

#

2nd hand laptop

#

Maybe

#

Or ps5

fossil cedar
#

Sure if they only wanna play Minecraft then an igpu is fine

frank stirrup
#

He said in #general-chat that he can get graphics cards from his friends

robust lake
#

Oh

fossil cedar
#

Still not to fit in that budget

robust lake
#

So 800 without gpu?

fossil cedar
#

That's a big difference

frank stirrup
#

You can fit in a 3060 in there for an 800$ build tbh

fossil cedar
#

Ehhhh

#

Ehhhhh

frank stirrup
#

11400f and a 3060 is very doable

#

at msrp

fossil cedar
#

That assumes you can get a 3060 at 329

frank stirrup
#

maybe even 3060ti

frank stirrup
fossil cedar
#

They just said they have friends they can buy from still assumes the friend got for msrp

frank stirrup
#

not just a shot in the dark

fossil cedar
#

Also 11400f and b560 will be more in the 900 range even with a 3060 at msrp

frank stirrup
robust lake
#

3060 cost 500 atleast now days

fossil cedar
robust lake
#

Even if you win shuffle you will be forced to buy a bomb with it for 550

fossil cedar
#

Apparently they have friends that might be able to get msrp idk

frank stirrup
robust lake
#

Its fine for stock

fossil cedar
#

Yeah it's fine for i5

frank stirrup
#

thats just me tho

fossil cedar
#

Next step up is 35$ to not as rock

robust lake
#

I think there is asus prime mini for 110

fossil cedar
#

As rocks bios is fine just put together an 11400 build with a hdv for my bro it's fine actually

fossil cedar
robust lake
#

Oh ok

flint sapphire
fossil cedar
flint sapphire
#

Seen the 570 for around 200-250

frank stirrup
#

add to the fact that their bios is the worst no way im taking anything back

flint sapphire
#

But pretty

robust lake
#

I dont get it they dont test their mbs

fossil cedar
#

Yeah but the b560 is for a i5 it's fine

frank stirrup
flint sapphire
#

Jewelers everywhere just went out of business

frank stirrup
#

Lol

flint sapphire
#

But like u gotta admit the taichi x570 looks amazing

fossil cedar
#

Meh

frank stirrup
fossil cedar
#

I think something like the msi mpg looks way better

frank stirrup
#

I like my x570 aorus elite much more

flint sapphire
frank stirrup
little osprey
#

should i buy this pc

unknown.png
flint sapphire
#

More of a b550 then?

fossil cedar
frank stirrup
little osprey
#

hmm i'm not that much in pcs can you help me

flint sapphire
frank stirrup
flint sapphire
fossil cedar
little osprey
#

about 500€

#

soo about 1k

#

ig

#

if it's like that for yall

fossil cedar
#

No

#

500€ is like 600$

little osprey
#

oh hm?

#

how

fossil cedar
frank stirrup
little osprey
#

oh lol

flint sapphire
#

Spammmm

fossil cedar
#

At that price but a console

frank stirrup
#

LMFAOOO

little osprey
#

then 1k is how much

fossil cedar
#

1.2k$

#

1k$ is about 900€ give or take

#

838€

little osprey
#

damn 1k in my cash is only 600$ for yall

#

lmfao

fossil cedar
#

Where you from?

little osprey
#

mostar you prob don't know

#

bosina and herzegovina

#

:)

fossil cedar
#

Ahhh

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

i will spend about 921.52 on a pc

#

bc here i would do 1500k

fossil cedar
#

You can't really do much with that for a prebuilt

little osprey
#

hmm

#

i mean what is a good amount to spend

fossil cedar
#

Also you should be looking at countries closer to you or in your country

little osprey
#

i mean i will

fossil cedar
#

You'll pay a fortune in shipping and tax getting stuff from the us

little osprey
#

yeah

#

true

#

hm ik what to do

#

there is a pc shop kinda

#

but idk what would be a good pc

#

to buy there

fossil cedar
#

You're probably better off getting an xbox /playstation unfortunately

little osprey
#

my cus bought a good pc for 500€ soo it would be 1k for me

#

it was and i5 smt i forgot

#

but it was a good pc

#

hie fully spent about 1500k

fossil cedar
#

You won't get a graphics card in a pc under 1k€ tbh

#

Also can't really look at us pricing through converter because in the us they dont include tax in their list price

little osprey
#

i mean his pc was good

#

it could run most games on max

fossil cedar
#

When did he buy it tho?

little osprey
#

like a month ago

#

or less 🤷‍♂️

fossil cedar
#

There's definitely a mis calc in currency there

#

500€ will get you sweat fa

little osprey
#

lol

#

500€ is like 1k for us

fossil cedar
#

Still lol all 500 will get you is an Xbox/ps

flint sapphire
#

Also super delayed response but heres my reaction

little osprey
#

soo

#

i mean it's double

#

soo 1M€ is here 2M€

fossil cedar
#

But idk what games they're running at max on a 1k€ pc

#

That's mid level atm

little osprey
#

hie spent 1500km on it soo about 700€

fossil cedar
#

That's like i5 and 1650 if they got really lucky

little osprey
#

the price dif is bad

fossil cedar
#

Which i wouldn't call max settings capable even at 1080p

little osprey
#

lol

#

i mean hie ran couple games

fossil cedar
#

Like what tho?

little osprey
#

not like games like apex

#

hie can run it

#

not on max tho

fossil cedar
#

Yeah probs got lucky with a 1650 then

little osprey
#

idk

fossil cedar
#

They retail for about 400$/€

#

Ever since shortage

little osprey
#

idk tbh

#

i mean i wanna buy a gaming pc when i'm about 15-16

flint sapphire

frank stirrup

I run all fans on red even tho they do be rgb

hallow glen
#

ah

frank stirrup
#

Is that dominator ram?

flint sapphire
#

It’s the typical Corsair kit think it’s dominator

hallow glen
#

is 650w good enough for 3080 and 11400

frank stirrup
#

Might pick up 4 sticks for my ram upgrade

muted patio
flint sapphire
#

I just like it cuz pretty. I’m kinda simple

hallow glen
fossil cedar
#

3080 should get 750w

#

Or 850w preferably

muted patio
#

Keep it from pinging off the OCP

flint sapphire
#

You could undervolt

fossil cedar
#

You could but why

hallow glen
#

is the bq good?

#

evga

#

850w

flint sapphire
#

It’s not too much of a performance downgrade still better then mobile

fossil cedar
#

No

muted patio
#

EVGA BQ? no

rich helm
#

Probably b or c tier

hallow glen
#

ok

muted patio
#

C

fossil cedar
#

Get something like an enermax revolution df

muted patio
#

has tripping issues with 3080's

hallow glen
fossil cedar
#

850w is 130$

rich helm
muted patio
fossil cedar
muted patio
#

nay, get a good PSU

fossil cedar
hallow glen
#

oh its 115 now? i thought it was 130

#

i can get that

fossil cedar
#

That's a 15$ difference

rich helm
#

120 and 5 off with promo code

hallow glen
#

yeah

fossil cedar
#

That's literally like 2 sandwiches eating out v at home bruh

hallow glen
#

shut

fossil cedar
#

Or like 3 coffees

#

The good ones aren't cheap for a reason and you shouldn't be getting a 3080 if you cant afford the extra 15$ or so tbh

muted patio
#

Is this going to be 1440p or higher?

hallow glen
#

well i want a 3060ti - a 3080

hallow glen
fossil cedar
#

Still just get revolution df 850w especially since its on sale atm

fossil cedar
#

Not really

balmy patio
#

opt for a 1440p monitor, or downgrade to a 3060ti if you're gonna be playing at 1080p

fossil cedar
balmy patio
#

ahhh

fossil cedar
#

I think at least

balmy patio
#

@little osprey can you send your og list

fossil cedar
#

Have you already bought the stuff or not I'm a bit confused

blazing aurora
#

oh my bad

#

i thought they already built

balmy patio
fossil cedar
#

Ohh then I'd go 11400 and a b560

balmy patio
#

they had already, just looking for upgrades

blazing aurora
fossil cedar
#

Yup

blazing aurora
#

11400 + b560 + 3060ti/70

balmy patio
#

yes

#

a cheaper pilot-e might also work, chuck in a 2tb barracuda or wdblue cmr and cheaper ram rated at the same speeds

fossil cedar
#

Nah

#

Well either you can find

#

Actually get a fuma 2 instead

full atlas
#

How much should I offer

image0.png
fossil cedar
#

What cpu do you have?

full atlas
#

2700x

fossil cedar
#

You already bought?

full atlas
#

Yes

fossil cedar
#

What motherboard do you already have?

full atlas
#

None

fossil cedar
#

Return the 2700x then

full atlas
#

I bought it used like 3 months ago...

fossil cedar
#

Ohh

#

Then that's okay i guess

#

I'd say it's worth 50$

full atlas
#

If I get it for 50$ then it would be a 95$ cpu/mobo combo😫

fossil cedar
#

You got the 2700x for 45$ damm

full atlas
#

Ye i bought it used with bent pins and fixed it

fossil cedar
#

Nice

balmy patio
#

that's quite good ngl

#

nice buy

lament fulcrum

rgb fans that are good and compatible with aura sync?

Yep

#

Yeah the bionix is a thick fan

little osprey
#

Is this good for a build?

rich helm
#

Not really

little osprey
#

Oh why

obsidian wigeon
#

ssd can change into pilot-e

rich helm
#

Use pc partpicker to put together a list

fossil cedar
#

why they delete it lol

rich helm
little osprey
fossil cedar
#

use pcparticker

#

x570 not needed

#

espcesially one at that price

#

corsair ram is meh

obsidian wigeon
#

4tb ssd

rich helm
#

4tb qvo ssd Cringe

obsidian wigeon
#

damn

#

lmao

rich helm
#

Just raid 0 two 2tb pilot e at that price

fossil cedar
#

yeah

#

well they already had m.2

#

so tbf they would still need like 2tb 2.5inch

rich helm
#

3 m.2 slots on mobos usually

#

Good ones at least

fossil cedar
#

really?

rich helm
#

Yeah

fossil cedar
#

ohh

#

i thought that was a rare feature

rich helm
#

Steel legend b560 even has 3 m.2 slots

fossil cedar
#

2 front 1 back im guessing?

rich helm
#

Probably

fossil cedar
#

i thought that was a high end board feature

little osprey
#

I would change the motherboard?

fossil cedar
#

You putting it together in pc part picker?

Idk they didn’t have one in the pics above

Uh

#

Uhh

#

There's no iGPU on 5800x yaknow

rich helm
#

Yeah

#

They can put their own gpu in

Especially since gpu choice comes down to what you can get

upper condor

tru sadge

little osprey

Or just use ness's list and add a gpu to that

Hi all im in the military and my Post Exchange is offering a HP Omen GT12-0060 for $1299 is this a good deal? These are the specs Powered by the 10th Generation Intel Processor - Intel Core i7-10700F (2.90 GHz)

Huh, that's actually not bad

#

In this market that really isn't bad

Good enough for Tarkov?

I'd say so yes

My 2060 played a lot of games at 1440P no problem

awesome TY

muted patio

YW and thank you for your service!

hallow glen

this is what the exchange does

unknown.png
#

99 cents off

rich helm
hallow glen
#

yeah

#

and also the 99 cents off is dumb

#

all of the pcs they have are either 2000 and up with a 3070 or better, or 1000 and below and 1650 or worse

which isn't terrible, but my budget is 1000-1500 soooo, nothing

Why do you need 32GB?

white blaze
#

mkae sure your clock timings are the same

bold turret
#

yh found some rams but not sure if i will have issues

#

was wondering can you do 3x8gb instead of 4?

potent portal
#

If you mix sticks you can run into issues, yes. Best chances of it working are if you have the same IC die and speed rating.

#

Don't do 3 sticks

bold turret
#

is ether i get same ram but just 1 for 24gb or mix 2x8gb of 1 type and 2x8gb of another

potent portal
#

It messes with the dual channel operation, and the third stick only runs single channel

little osprey

Very common in electronics and automotives.

@potent portal I got this old Radioshack little toolkit, but I don't think it has any Torx heads in it. Considering buying an ifixit kit.

oh wait dam

thing i found a steal

fossil cedar
bold turret
#

nvm i am dumb

#

this is just 1

fossil cedar
#

Don't bother getting

bold turret
#

i got this rams for 60 with rgb a year ago lmfao the stocks

fossil cedar
#

Welp

potent portal
#

Yup RAM prices be wacked out like all the other parts

bold turret
#

what about used rams would u guys suggest?

potent portal
#

No moving parts and most good brands have lifetime warranty, I'm usually comfortable with used memory

bold turret
fossil cedar
#

Mixing ram kits is not advised

bold turret
#

worth it?

#

yh thinking just to get this whole thing

#

and sell my old rams

fossil cedar
#

No it's cl18

bold turret
#

i am not mixing with the old ram if i get this

potent portal
#

If the XMP rating is identical then it's probably the same die and had a good chance of working.
If it's not identical rating, good chance it's the opposite.

fossil cedar
#

Yeah probs

bold turret
#

so cant i just put those in and remove the ballistix ones?

potent portal
#

That's an auction too, final price will be higher

bold turret
#

it got 0 bits tho

potent portal
#

With almost 5 days left

bold turret
#

not many review tho

#

so might get forgeten

#

but

#

do u think worth it

#

for 100£

potent portal
#

If the price stays at 100 sure, decent enough deal and should overclock to c16

fossil cedar
#

So who knows what die it has lol

potent portal
#

Honestly 3600c18 could be any one of half of the dies currently used

fossil cedar
#

Lol

#

Yeah my 3200cl16 got to 3600c16 but that was samsung c die

bold turret
#

how much diffrents between a 3600hz c18 and a c16

potent portal
#

On ryzen? Big difference

bold turret
#

on ram

fossil cedar
#

3600c18 is the same as 3200cl16 on intel

bold turret
#

but talking for ryzen cpu yh

potent portal
#

Yeah I mean on ryzen platform vs Intel,

#

Intel not much of a big deal

fossil cedar
#

But would be speed downgrade from 3600c16

potent portal
#

Subtiming tuning is where it's really at on ryzen

bold turret
#

so do u think is worth it over all getting used sticks x2 16gb 3600hz cl18 100£ or spend about 75£ on extra 2x 16 3600hz cl16 ram

potent portal
#

The c16 set could probably overclock even further down to c14
I don't think it's worth that much difference, though.

bold turret
#

i havent overclocked my ram

#

should i?

fossil cedar
#

You can

bold turret
potent portal
#

Doesn't cost you anything but time

fossil cedar
#

You're gonna need to clear cmos few times tho lol

bold turret
#

what is cmos

fossil cedar
#

It's bios settings

fossil cedar
bold turret
#

ikr

#

this guy must been doing a clearing

fossil cedar
#

Although i usually dont like adata because their known for switching out controllers an stuff on their ssds

That's a halfway decent drive too, unless it's one of the bad revisions

selling alot of good stuff

so guys what u think i should buy from this guy since he got a ''garage sell'' in ebay maybe i can contact him and get a nice deal
