looks fine
You can order even if they don’t have stock
do you pay them before there is stock?
Yep
but i kinda want a 3060ti and the ones they sell are overpriced
not really
uhh no
PERFECT
plus game pass
y
really only found one
that cost 900
Ha it was 550 when I ordered
idrc at this point
how long does it take for them to ship it to you?
I placed my order end of March
Haven’t received yet
if u rly want a 3090
So obviously I’m in front of you in line if you get that one
you sure they not scamming you
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174766583616?epid=19032163836&hash=item28b0e66f40:g:viMAAOSwQDRgm-DL should i, it seems ok
$300? ouch
big ouch
THEY ARE A PARTNER OF NVIDIA
is it that hard to understand
u can buy a gt210, which is available for the evga step up program, and step up to a 3090, and youll step up within a a couple days or weeks
ohhhhh
ik a person who step uped to a 3090 in 1 week
https://www.ebay.com/itm/124720514176?hash=item1d09ec0480:g:iKwAAOSwULNgXZfF a rx 570 for the same price
only 4gb 
a lot of reviews for insight saying they are scamming or just overall terrible customer service
ikr
randomly cancelling orders
who? Insight?
yes I said insight
oh mbmb
but they are partners of nvidia ness sent something
and it seems like you have to wait quite a while
about how it took 4 weeks to talk to customer service about a faulty part and another 4 weeks for a replacement
and the part was apparently critical to their business
someone complained that their cs rep used having covid as an excuse to not talk to them and questioned why they are working if they have covid
I was about to buy some 3060tis but reading these reviews I'll pass lol
https://www.ebay.com/itm/224456238131?hash=item3442a26433:g:7FIAAOSwWwNgmFSp 8gb rx 580 for 300, and its a strix card
should i
Well I let you know my experience when I get them
imma try to call them later
ik
and it's not even half over
but that should be ok if the bids dont go up very high
you must be new to ebay
probably will
im jk of course it will go up
but if it was buy it now it would be fine
that is frickin terrible
ew
but the fact people are willing to buy for that price...
i mean, the strix rx 580 isnt the best but during these times its ok
doesn't matter you won't get it for 300
Let's not post those types of gifs @granite field
that's not even biggest
wait wut.
done linking everything
hey guys btw 6900xt actually worth its actual price? i heard 3090 wasnt even worth its oriignal pricing cuz of peformance difference between 3080 and 3090
6900xt is better frames wise than the 3080 but not 3090 but nvidia has better overall features like dlss, nvenc and better ray tracing perf if that matters too you
Also 3080 better at mining
oh i mean price to performance is 6900xt worth it?
If 3080 and 6900xt where same price I'd take 6900xt if i wouldn't mine with it on the side and don't care about dlss, ray tracing or nvenc otherwise 3080 even if slightly poorer raster perf
See i can't really do price to perf atm because prices are all over the place
That migh help a bit
guys should a 11500 running minecraft with a gammax 400 (auto, not sure what percentage the fan is running at) have cpu temps of 50?
each core is under like 5-40% load
pulling around 50-60W
Sounds about right
you mining?
yea but it shouldnt run anywhere near hot since im basically doing nothing
and i have pretty good air flow so yk
but thanks
my 5600x goes above 50C idle with 360mm liquid cooler and 8 fans
is that good or bad
Does anyone know a vertical gpu mount that wont sag with a 3090 fe and will work with a O11-D
Ntb, if i were you I'd mine while not gaming/using for work 6900xt makes about 15/day profit atm
first buy a gen 4 riser cable or make sure you're aware of the potential problems pcie 3 risers can cause with pcie 4 cards/boards
yeah you can, it can cause problems when you reset cmos or update bios though
True
it's not a complete dealbreaker, you'll just have to install the gpu normally in order to set it back
can be annoying if that would require you to uninstall your vertical mounting hardware to fit the gpu in
Gen 4 risers are stupid expensive last I checked though
$63
if i'm already paying the premium for a 3090 and a vertical mount, $63 seems worth for the convenience of not having to do all that
I think it should be fine with pcie 3
hi everyone
Yeah that's the price of a nice 500gb nvme drive
anyone who has a 3090, O11, and is thinking about vertical mounting probably doesn't care a whole lot about money
Guess it's mostly preference and how much your time is worth to yourself
Yeah lol
it's not about bandwidth bottleneck
it can cause problems with booting
Reason: Bad word usage
Oh ok
which require you to undo your vertical mount to install it normally to boot
then change settings to make it bootable with the riser again
well nice i dont have enough money to pay the electricity bill i think though XD
which can quickly get annoying if you have to uninstall and reinstall your vertical mount
You get like 1000% more lol@teal linden
especially if you have one of those vertical mounts that adapts the whole pcie area
Power is a lot less than mining profit
15$ in profit tho that's covering the bill, the bill would only be like 20£ a month
my mining costs me $120/month in electricity for $2700/month profit and i live somewhere with some of the most expensive electricity ever

Geez I guess mine isn't so bad then, and I'm in California too lol
bay area?
Assuming a rate of 20c/kwh which should be standard, you would make £10/day profit, the bill would be like 30£ a month
. 10 off peak and .14 peak
wow
you must not live in one of the population centers then
(bay area and socal)
that is really cheap
I get 10c at from 12-8am and then 23c rest of the time yeet
how do i install a scythe fuma 2 120mm cpu cooler to a B450 AURUS M motherboard?

which ryzen mounts?
There’s literally only one
@fossil cedar here
okay well i didnt look at neweggs specific deals and its worth getting 3600 for 15$ more
not really..
i hope you're talking about 3600mhz ram
you can just oc the 3200C16
and not a ryzen 5 3600
yes
we're talking abt ballistix 3200C16 vs 3600C16 when 3200C16 is 19 usd cheaper or so
budget ram is binned at 3200c16 for a reason
its ballistix..
most of it won't oc much higher
micron rev e can easily hit 3600C16
ehh it's a gamble
can be the reject bins
there are samsung b-die binned for 3200c16 that will not oc a single mhz higher
they said that my choice of 3600 ballistix was a waste of money over 3200 for an 11400 lol
i'd just pay the extra $17 for the guarantee
and i said that it was the better valued option
yeah
my 3600c16 ballistix does 3800c14 easy
would not expect the 3200c16 bins to do the same
you might get lucky
might not
muh average consumer wnot even be ram oc'ing
why even pay for ballistix 3600C16 if ur gna be running xmp
3200C16 ballistix @ 75 USD is a great deal
it depends on the rest of the system and the budget
@earnest olivehttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/TjXfBc
was here
yeah i would say no point in getting higher binned ram unless you want to upgrade that gpu soon
3060 will be the bottleneck
3060 ti > 3060 in terms of price/performance and value tbh
...if you can find one
of course
all i said was 3200C16 @ 75 USD is a better option than 3600C16 @ 94 USD
keep in mind this is a build for an average consumer
i'm inclined to agree with the 3060
honestly just go with an mp33/helix-L for the drive and switching the ram can easily land a 3060 Ti
now if this was a 3060ti or higher i'd say go for the 3600c16 even for xmp
for a 3060 there is no point
hard disagree on downgrading from the pilot-e though
is the z73 AIO compatible with AM4 cpus
yea and a 100 usd case w a 3060 🤔
yes
ok
@stoic islandhii 
in fairness ballistix 3200 is like 87$ on pcpp
no it isntlol
id say not..
if you pay $17 more on a $1250 system that's barely 1% more
last time i checked it was
But does it give you much?
but i showed you a ss almost 5 minutes aog..
Does it though?
3200C16 vs 360016 wont be 5% increase in perf..
yeah but i still think its worth
this would be with 3070 prob
depends on the game and the rest of the system
like i said, 3200c16 with 3060 good
yeye
for a 3060ti+ i'd be looking at 3600c16 at least
lower end builds, 3200c16 gud
I say 3600c16 min on 3080, 3070 only when you have extra budget
dunno, nowadays I usually get over budget considering GPU pricing, so I really want to save every bit yaknow
3070 combos are retailing for 1.1k now
@fossil cedarhttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/dw6B3Z
buiild thats 20 usd cheaper than yours while having a 3070 vs 3060 lol
im just listing msrp 
ha lol im being realistic
funny
msrp hasn't been a relevant number in ages
450 for a 3060 isn't very realistic either tbh
street price is 800
newegg bundles are getting expensive too
3060 shuffle price 450 sounds about right
but its a lot more reasonable than a 500$ 3070 lol
lol i hate the best buy drop system so much i'd rather buy a scalped one than waste that much of my time
one today for 500, about 2 days ago the xc was alone for 400$
why spend 2 hours on best buy drops when i can build 3 pcs in those 2 hours flip for $400 profit and spend that on the markup and have more fun while doing it
lol
i tried a best buy drop once while eating
picked up a piece of food for 2 seconds
missed a 3070
lol
no thanks i don't want to stare at 8 browser windows for 20 mins each time
scalpers are only asking for like $250 markup on 3070s compared to new retail+tax prices tbh
fr?
the last 3070 i won from newegg shuffle was $833.51 after tax and it wasn't even in a bundle
only seen like 1200$+ 3070's
thx wouldnt that shorten my GPUs life though?
some scalpers selling 3070s for 1100
oh
mining is healthier for gpu than gaming
depends
as long as you're not an idiot
any miner with a brain, healthier than gaming
any miner that just slap an OC on leave it
card prob gonna die
well i got merc 319 black 6900xt so it got good cooling XD
mmm
there will be very little stress on the fans at 50%
core is rated for 83C max temp, gddr6x is rated for 120C max temp
so those temps are great
gets considerably hotter while gaming
no no
hell, g6 shouldn't get hot on it's own afaik (without thermal pad).
yeah gddr6 is not really an issue with temps
they don't include temp sensor for a reason
p sure 6900xt uses g6, right?
my hotspot is like 50-60c with 3070 gigabyte thermal pads :/
yes
aight
also my 3080 is in a less than ideal airflow setup
the 3070 above it is faring much worse in that regard though lol
lol
it still runs at like 60C so not a problem
i replaced my case fans with these
i have 0 case fans for that setup
i initially put 2 case fans on top of the graphics cards
but they made absolutely zero difference
so i just took them off and sold them
and my back one is this
well cuz your setup is in open space
nice you like tuf stuff too i got tuf g501 case
it's tucked into a corner but that doesn't seem to negatively affect temps
my monitor is tuf too
i can't just leave it in open space or my cat is going to break it lol
just get tuf case XD
cat gonna sit on graphics cards cause warm
XD
i got bigger case though i got gt501 personally but thats twice the price
yeah i replaced my stock fans too i heard from friends Arctic makes amazing case fans and are cheaper than nocutas so i got those ones earlier
hello
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-gaming-pc-amd-ryzen-5-3600-1tb-hdd-500gb-ssd-16gb-ram-rtx-3060-en/15386719 is this good its also canada thats why its expensive
Feel the thrill of realistic gameplay with the CyberPowerPC Gamer Master gaming PC. It's equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card to handle marathon gaming and multitasking with ease. Its multiple USB ports enable easy connectivity with various gaming accessories.
Not terrible but not amazing either
lol
Anyone got tips for attaching fans to a case?
screw go in corners
Mostly I was having issues getting the screws to go all the way down. Because I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to stick up from the case.
make sure they're in straight and use more force
you have to use a decent amount of force to screw in fans
they are self-threading screws
Tbf there is an abs system in the asus gt301 i think it is
wtf is this
mining?
yep
ah
yeah i dont feel like getting an actual rack so if i get more than two gpus idk what ill do just get a riser and put it on top of my case with a power supply next to it or somethign
i bought that 3080 to use as my personal gpu
but it makes my room too warm in summer
so i swapped it out for a 3070 for now
i mean i still mined on it while it was in my main rig
but my main rig is upstairs and this one is downstairs
so i just did a swap
3070 throws less heat into my room
That's fair lol
yeah ive got a 3070 coming in a week or so, might sell the 60 im on or i might mine on both
probably just gonna sell the 60 tho
Make a nice toaster come october lol
3060?
yeah
Mine tbh
who knows how long eth will last tho
you'd have to get a dummy hdmi (or plug a second monitor into it) and be locked to that one driver
so it's up to you if you don't mind being locked to that one driver tbh
oh yea Nvidia put the driver back on it
True
dont the latest 466.27 drivers limit mining for all 30 series cards
oh
And any 3070/80 ti
not true
In the future
yeah im hoping my 3070 isnt an lhr card, not sure when those are supposed to start shipping for all the aibs
only limit mining for 3060 atm
ah kk
Not yet anyway
i should have bought up scalped 3070s earlier
1100 would have been worth like 2-3 months ago
today probably not
I should have bought eth earlier, eth was still 500 in jan :(

Imagine all the miners selling in jan/dec cri
i had like $50 worth of eth back during the 2018 crash, but i forgot what wallet i used
since i didnt care about it that much
lol i sold like 0.8 eth at 1.4-2.5k
Oof
i am now holding everything i get
Smort
just started holding my payouts
have 0.18 rn
i don't expect current profitability to last
Nice
but right now i get 0.021 per day
ouch
i think dogecoin is going to die off
For my build, I need a 500W power supply. If I get a 550W, would that be bad or will it still work?
The drop after elons snl show 
it will work
power is pulled by pc, not pushed by power supply
what cpu and gpu do you have?
Ok and uhhhh.... let me get the link
the wattage calculator on pcpartpicker is not perfect
is in stoc
usually underestimates
??????????
Ik
Im*
is it
Get an i5 11400 and b560
ryzen 5 3600 for $235 is terrible
Yes
s12iii is a fire hazard
I already bought those 
i doubt it has a 3060
return them
ryzen 5 3600 is just overpriced but that power supply is genuinely dangerous
Oh ok. Would the power supply 550W on Newegg be better?
Also gl getting a 480 for 100$ i sold my r9 380 4gb for 170€
which one
also, I don't think s12iii lights on fire? pretty sure just frequent failures
w a c k
Yeah look at r7 290s mb
gt 710
I've seen r9 290s around 100
I got mine for free
The gpu?
What power supply should I get?
Segotep 600w
what budget and gpu
that's not exactly better
It's like 50$
but ye, I don't like calling things fire hazards when they don't actually light on fire
because that makes something like a N1 or P-GM seem less dangerous
if you return the ryzen 5 3600 and buy an i5-10400 you'll get enough money back to buy a $200 graphics card instead of a $100 graphics card
so like
a 1050ti instead of a gtx 760
anyways, close nuff
I have a GTX580
hmm
And I can always purchase another one
1050ti is like a 40% performance upgrade
but much more power efficient
no please do not buy another gtx 580
wait
SLI is long dead
580
But for right now, I’m trying to get a computer running and I’m not
does that support uefi boot
I just need the power supply unit and that is it
did you already open the ryzen 5 3600
No it is shipping
gtx 580 might not have fun with win 10
Why?
...
You have to understand I know nothing about computers.
did you purposefully ignore everything we were saying
yes
No, I just do not understand it.
It's a replacement not a slot in upgrade you'd be changing your motherboard and cpu
the ryzen 5 3600 costs $100 more than a processor that PERFORMS BETTER THAN IT
well
So then which one should I buy
buying a ryzen 5 3600 for $235 when you're already on a very tight budget is an incredibly poor choice
...we already said i5-10400
And a b560 motherboard
paired with this motherboard
Alright.
fun
Thank you and sorry again.
depending on use case maybe 500gb dramless budget ssd is better
costs slightly more
double capacity but less performance
I’m gonna be working a good amount this summer so my budget will expand.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jCvR3Z heres my dream system guys
weak
@granite field looks like a wacky varient of my old list >:p
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/pLkXkL
actually i need to update this list
do I need to take out my motherboard to install my new processor?
only if the new processor is not compatible with it
my motherboard is a MSI Z370-A PRO and the new processor is a i9-9900k.
yeah you can just drop it in
sweet
my editi ng rig is too op
that mobo will have a very difficult time overclocking a 9900K though
just a heads up
I'm not planning on overclocking at all, but thank you for the heads up!
you will see vrm throttling
vrm?
even at stock it may vrm throttle a bit
what does that mean?
throttle back the processor due to the power delivery system getting too hot
Voltage regulation module
Thing that turns 12v into 1.3v or whatever you use for chip
It can get hot when you're pulling a lot of power
ah, so new processor would be the next upgrade? another techie on this discord said it shouldn't be an issue..
It's not an issue
oh phew
OCing isn't important anyways :p
y'all had me worried for a minute
it will work fine, you just won't get the maximum potential of the 9900K in intense workloads
it's fairly straight forward right
Yes
i'm mainly using it for gaming. i currently have an i5-8600k
yes you can just take out the 8600k and put in the 9900k and boot it up
pretty much anything would've been an upgrade haha
it will ask you to reconfigure bios
then you're done
shouldn't be any issue with windows install upgrading from coffee lake to coffee lake
there is a chance it will automatically disable some cores in windows but if that happens you can just undo that
i couldn't find custom watercooling options onthere
ik,
fixed, gtg, rate build pls
guys help me out, I don't know why it says incompatible issue check my list out and then tell me to make the changes, give me good changes im in a budget for about 3k https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cgfpsX
@bold basin can you take a pic of the connector? Looks a bit wonky
which one?
@white patio it's just going on about bios updates, you can flashback the bios on that board anyways
@bold basin fan
wait so it's compatible with my ryzen 7 5800x?
@white patio I would change the SSD to a P31, and you'll be able to afford a 3080 with a 3000$ budget
Yes
After a certain bios version, it is compatible
Do i give the bios and update right after i build it?
@bold basin the one you're holding looks like 12v rgb, the one next to it looks like the standard fan connector
where do i plug in the 12v rgb?
@white patio here's the thing, motherboards ship with the newest bios version when it is made, so depending on when it's made, it may or may not have the bios version that supports the chip. If it does, great, if it doesn't, you'll need to use the flashback to flash it.
@bold basin what motherboard?
B450 Aurus M
One sec
is there any mobo that you recommend for the ryzen 7 5800x, if can i switch from the ryzen 7 5800x to the ryzen 9 3900x??
just get the 5900 x
5900x??
while the ryzen 7 5800x is a beast, ur downgrading from a 12 to 8 core cpu
ur losing 4 core
is the 5900x better than 5800x?\
yes
should i switch to that?
do you have the 3900x or the 3950x
if you can, thats great
yea
Oh b450 aorus m does it weirdly
how does it do it?
msi meg x570 unify
great overall board
Use the left 4 pins on this header, NOT D_LED
Wait
Actually
Gimme a sec
I might be being dumb
If the holes on the connectors are too big
That's molex
check this out, it's giving me a warning -_- https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lzckt8
no?
oh, its just a thing saying u might need a bios update
thats all
Oof
@white patio any motherboard above 200$ better have a damn good reason, x570 unify had a pretty good reason for 300$, but not for 500$
otherwise ur good, if it needs the update afterwards it should be smooth sailing from that point onward, anywasy gtg, have a nice day
you too mate
@white patio atm, I'd swap the Mobo for a b550 aorus pro ac, and swap the ssd for a 1tb p31
X570 unify is a good board and all, but msrp is 300$
how do you know soo much
Too much time spent looking at things
did u see?
lol, i am getting 1tb ssd for windows purely and maybe some files and a seagate barracuda for hardrive
Could go for a x300 4tb if you want, budget allows for it
rmx for 144 usd..?
is it the wbite cables 
@bold basin I think I'm being dumb and that's a molex connector
how do i plug in a molex conntector
Guys
@little osprey ye I'm leaving it in because white cables are expensive
I have a big issue
rev df is.. around 120 usd?
white cable extensions r 20 +???
Why does my GTX 1080 have a white light when I boot my system
i think 850w is 114
Hm, your psu might've came with a cable that has molex
@little osprey DF back to 130
And also
You haven't seen white cable extension prices
They're like 40$
damn
Im very concerned
would get rid of barracuda compute
And I couldn't find things that's compatible with df for some reason
I haven’t been able to use my pc
I would suggest x300 4tb but barracuda usable still
Because I think the GPU ain’t working
yo should i go for a white pc build or black
@woven summit reset cmos might as well
p300 is a better choice if this is a productivity rig.
White is expensive
How do I reset cmos?
Black tends to be cheaper
Defines CMOS technology and how to clear CMOS using the jumper or battery methods.
Battery method
It's universal
lever
how do I find the PC4 of my ram
should plop right out
Ye
pc4?
what is pc4
clock speeds and stuff
i need to get a second stick and it needs to be PC4 21300
@stoic islandhttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/qs3R3Z
what u think
alright
Dunno about it
Battery is going vack in
I know x300 is neato
better than compute kekw
@signal scarab 2666mhz sticks
mm pre sure CMR
thats all i can tell u
I'd also swap out the 970 overpriced
p31 moment
That weird measurement usually just normal thing * 8
do you have any black case suggestions for my build?
Corsair 4000/5000d airflow
I still have a slight distain for p400a >:p
should i remove my cpu cooler and put a processer there instead/
y
macho/scythe shill
Smh
Grand macho is just metal
I'm a u12a shill whenever it goes down in price
Or they release chromax again
CMOS doesn’t seem like it did anything guys
Need help guys. I built a new rig today! Cannot install windows. Get past the enter key part but when selecting a drive it appears to stop. I get a particition messge? Any help would be grand
@little osprey delete any pre-existing partitions
And select empty space once any pre existing partitions are deleted
should i remove my cpu cooler and put a processer there instead?
cut power
hold pwr button (idk ppl say this helps get rid of any other power)
remove batt
wait a bit like few seconds
reinstall
what..?
I will try and agin bud. Thanks. Enetering the key time and time again i wanna cry
I have a processer
yes
And a CPU Cooler
yes
They both go in the same spot right?
Where does processer go?

@little osprey you could also do the 'enter key later' and do it later to speed it up
I dont think there is space for that
pls just watch a youtube vid
of a cooler installatioon
I still get the same message but will try the delete all particition again.
how do you do a bios update
If it gives you the same message again, plz send a picture of the message
@white patio for boards with ability to bios flashback, something like this
https://youtu.be/iTkXunUAriE
In this demonstration, we’ll show you how to use Flash BIOS Button with MSI motherboard.
Ick
Ignore the bios.. fat thumbed it
Windows being weird eh
Yes :(
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 comes with a cooler?
@muted patio any ideas on why windows is being dumb during installation?
2600 should come with spire
whats a spire>
will the gigabyte b550 aorus pro ac need an bios update? btw im pairing it with a 5900x
is a aftermarket better?
@white patio back to this
Bruh
because i got myself a fuma 2
Fuma 2 is neat
I followed cmos steps and still nothing
@little osprey looks decent
Kk
@woven summit wack, any other symptoms?
so how would i know if it needed a bios update>
You can't tell until you have the motherboard
It's like all of them made before, dunno, august 2020 or something, will need the update, but all of them made afterwards will
Just vga light eh
And the gpu light is on
Remove it and check if there's anything on the contacts ig
Ok
should i get a corsair aio or lian li
Like contacts on the GPU pcie connector
Ah ol
Ok I cleaned it with a tissue
Probably a mistake
BRUH
NO WONDER
I UNPLUGGED PCIE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
IT WAS GETTING NO POWER
Lol
lOl
can you check my upgraded list out lol https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xCxfBc
@white patio change ssd to p31, change hdd to x300 4tb/6tb/8tb
Hey, can someone help me real quick?
I'd also try to get the 3600mhz cl16 version of those sticks
wth is a x300
toshiaba, isn't toshiba cancer?
Ask and you shall receive
Uh no?
Seagate is usually seen as the cancer one
But both are usable
Toshiba x300 is neat tho
Can someone find me a good PC that's gonna be used for Valorant, Minecraft, and other random games for around 1.5k? If it's a little over, no worries, I'll appreciate it.
Prebuilt or
here's the thing
its a birthday gift for my sisters 19th birthday we're getting her one
bruh don't you dare buy a prebuilt
and i need it to be white
why?
Aren't they bad?
They're decent nowadays because of the GPU situation
yeah
Since yaknow, prebuilt charging 200$ more is better than scalpers charging 500$ more
But time-frames matter
the spec pre builts come with is sad
yeah depends on the prebuilt
is there another way to update bios without the flash thingy
so for my 5900x i need to do that flash thing?
Again, you may or may not have to
I forgot if gigabyte needs you do rename the bios file, but otherwise, the process is the same as video
judging by times now, do you think it will require one?
Anytime this month should be fine
I say 80% no, but you should know about the 20% chance that you need to flash it
Hm ok
Probably a prebuilt then, lemme check some things
whats a 3800x
im kidding
cheers m8 i am gonna head off now, may come tomorrow for some more help lol
:)
eh, its ok i guess
Doesn't have to be Newegg, I really don't like it, so I'll be looking for alternatives
It's bad pricing imo
@spark bridge specs
i7 4770K
32GB RAM
Nvidia GT 620
no rgb sadly
because if it isn't I'm afraid your losing performance, you'll have to Email me your ram
lol
thats a joke btw mr @subtle sentinel
I'd say you should at least upgrade that video card to a GT 730 because those are very cheap lol
my friends getting a 1660 and hes giving his old 970, which is very nice of him
@stoic islandfind anything yet?
nice
thats good
rn im using intel hd 4600 graphics
oooooooooof
Honestly 960s are very decent and still handle modern games farely well
mine works fine and a 970 is better
I haven't even tried overclocking yet
as long as you aren't doing 1080p or lower its perfectly fine for the time being
i think overclocking is unnecessary
wdym not doing 1080p, should i be using 720p?
Are they choosing GPT partition type?
ok
How did you make the boot media? Did you use the Media Creation tool or just burn an ISO? Did you choose GPT as the partition type?
anything above 1080 is pushing it and youll lose frames
lose frames, yes i def would lol
but due to my pc limitations i cant play many games, and im stuck playing roblox]
my old system bottlenecked it lol
960 is a good 900p card
my old pc was 32 bit amd e2 1800 apu with an igpu, and 8 gigs of ram
900p thats not even a 16:9 res wtf
1600x900, yes thats 16:9
Lmao
im a stupid idiot
lo
its not a compatiple one
lol
dont be so hard on yourself, mew
it goes 720 to 864 to 1080
I'm very new to pc building bud. I know very little to be honest. I have downloaded the install media from the web in my Mac, and made it able to boot via the terminal following some instructions from the web. GPT I'm not sure how to get to or do. Being trying now for 4 hours and losing the will to live.
thoses are atleast the standarized ones
Ah, that's the issue. Using the Terminal on Mac just burns the ISO and doesn't create the Windows 10 Installation Media properly. Do you have access to a Windows machine where you can download it and run it there?
I can access one tomorrow that is the Mrs.
I guess just start the download again tomorrow via a none Mac PC?
my friend is questioning ddr3, is he right
Fantastic! Download this and run it to have it create a bootable USB on a Windows machine. Then try the installation again. When it asks you what Partition type you want, choose GPT. It'll make sense when you get there.......... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Why is your friend questioning ddr3
you want ddr4 but ddr3 is fine
Is ddr3 under investigation for conspiracy
he thinks its bad because theres ddr4 and ddr5 around the corner
is he right
ddr4 is much faster and is standardized on modern motherboards
Thank you for your help bud. Appreciate your time.
Youd better not say DDR4 lmfao
i use ddr3
You're welcome!
It's not really a matter of basing your computer hardware purchases on the DDR generation
rgb of course for higher performance
help how do i tell him
radeon 560
brb
You'll want to determine two things, what GPU and what CPU you want to get or continue using
no say intel is better lmao
And if the DDR gen happens to be 2 or 3 then that's what you're going to work with
he doesnt know much about pcs
Up until like last week it was a decent idea to get Haswell 1150 cpus, and a while before that GTX 970s were pretty low on eBay, so considering that you'd be going DDR3
So basically choose your CPU before you choose your ram, that's all
get a older ryzen or maybe older intel, Older ryzens are pretty cheap now and they'll definitely get you better performance
how do they make cpu transistors cuz theyre now like 2nm
i don't know the intel naming sceme that well
Nobody knows the Intel naming scheme well
CPU transistors are glass
Beside gen number. That is pretty easy
Just fricken s a n d
Pog I have glass windows they are best cpu transistor now? pog
That's why computers run on windows
Blowing my mind man
Google semiconductor
It's an insulator that becomes conductive when triggered sort of
i was on a call with the and my internal mic broke 😢
So what you are saying is, that if I coat my home's insulation in iron, my house's wall will be stuffed with semiconductors, got it 
ayo
