Yep

odd cosmos

idk if i trust it though

oh found one for 600

#

but thats still kinda overpriced is it

rich helm
#

Ha it was 550 when I ordered

granite field
#

idrc at this point

odd cosmos
#

how long does it take for them to ship it to you?

rich helm
#

Haven’t received yet

jaunty river
#

if u rly want a 3090

rich helm
#

So obviously I’m in front of you in line if you get that one

odd cosmos
#

you sure they not scamming you

$300? ouch

hallow glen

big ouch

hallow glen
odd cosmos
#

really

#

didnt know sorry

hallow glen
#

is it that hard to understand

jaunty river
#

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

hallow glen
odd cosmos
#

ohhhhh

jaunty river
#

ik a person who step uped to a 3090 in 1 week

odd cosmos
#

alr alr

#

do they ship to canada?

granite field
earnest olive
#

a lot of reviews for insight saying they are scamming or just overall terrible customer service

granite field
earnest olive
#

randomly cancelling orders

earnest olive
#

yes I said insight

odd cosmos
#

oh mbmb

hallow glen
#

but they are partners of nvidia ness sent something

granite field
earnest olive
#

a lot of these reviews aren't about graphics cards

#

a few reviews from businesses

odd cosmos
#

and it seems like you have to wait quite a while

earnest olive
#

about how it took 4 weeks to talk to customer service about a faulty part and another 4 weeks for a replacement

rich helm
#

You get a personal rep assigned to you

#

Idk

earnest olive
#

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

granite field
#

should i

earnest olive
#

it won't stay at that price

#

it's an auction

rich helm
odd cosmos
granite field
earnest olive
#

and it's not even half over

granite field
#

but that should be ok if the bids dont go up very high

earnest olive
#

you must be new to ebay

granite field
#

probably will

granite field
#

but if it was buy it now it would be fine

earnest olive
hallow glen
#

that is frickin terrible

granite field
hallow glen
#

but the fact people are willing to buy for that price...

granite field
#

i mean, the strix rx 580 isnt the best but during these times its ok

earnest olive
#

doesn't matter you won't get it for 300

Let's not post those types of gifs @granite field

i found the biggest scalper ever just now

obsidian wigeon

that's not even biggest

urban trellis
#

lmao

granite field
granite field
#

done linking everything

teal linden
#

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

fossil cedar
#

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

teal linden
#

oh i mean price to performance is 6900xt worth it?

fossil cedar
#

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

odd cosmos
#

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

muted patio
#

Sounds about right

teal linden
#

i got mine for @fossil cedar £1585

#

6900xt tbh

earnest olive
#

my 3080 has already more than paid for itself

teal linden
#

you mining?

earnest olive
#

yeah

#

making my hardware pay for itself

odd cosmos
#

i thought it was overheating bc of some virus

earnest olive
#

50C is nowhere near overheating lmao

#

you're fine

odd cosmos
#

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

wow i am stupid

#

Does anyone know a vertical gpu mount that wont sag with a 3090 fe and will work with a O11-D

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

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

potent portal
#

You can always set PCI-e version in bios

#

Before you install the riser

earnest olive
#

yeah you can, it can cause problems when you reset cmos or update bios though

potent portal
#

True

earnest olive
#

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

potent portal
#

Gen 4 risers are stupid expensive last I checked though

earnest olive
#

$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

robust lake
#

I think it should be fine with pcie 3

granite field
#

hi everyone

potent portal
#

Yeah that's the price of a nice 500gb nvme drive

earnest olive
#

anyone who has a 3090, O11, and is thinking about vertical mounting probably doesn't care a whole lot about money

potent portal
#

Guess it's mostly preference and how much your time is worth to yourself

robust lake
#

Yeah lol

earnest olive
#

it can cause problems with booting

still roostBOT
#
Simurgh the persian#6027 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

robust lake
#

Oh ok

earnest olive
#

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

teal linden
earnest olive
#

which can quickly get annoying if you have to uninstall and reinstall your vertical mount

robust lake
#

You get like 1000% more lol@teal linden

earnest olive
#

especially if you have one of those vertical mounts that adapts the whole pcie area

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?

fossil cedar
#

Look at the fumas manual

#

Use the ryzen mounts

#

Tada

earnest olive
bold basin
#

which ryzen mounts?

rich helm
earnest olive
#

literally pictures of exactly what you're looking for

little osprey
#

@fossil cedar here

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

not really..

earnest olive
#

i hope you're talking about 3600mhz ram

little osprey
#

you can just oc the 3200C16

earnest olive
#

and not a ryzen 5 3600

little osprey
#

yes

earnest olive
#

umm

#

sir

little osprey
#

we're talking abt ballistix 3200C16 vs 3600C16 when 3200C16 is 19 usd cheaper or so

earnest olive
#

budget ram is binned at 3200c16 for a reason

little osprey
#

its ballistix..

earnest olive
#

most of it won't oc much higher

little osprey
#

micron rev e can easily hit 3600C16

earnest olive
#

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

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

i never said it was a waste of money..

#

i just said that 3200C16 is 17 usd cheaper

earnest olive
#

i'd just pay the extra $17 for the guarantee

little osprey
#

and i said that it was the better valued option

fossil cedar
#

yeah

earnest olive
#

my 3600c16 ballistix does 3800c14 easy

#

would not expect the 3200c16 bins to do the same

#

you might get lucky

#

might not

little osprey
#

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

earnest olive
#

it depends on the rest of the system and the budget

little osprey
#

@earnest olivehttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/TjXfBc
was here

earnest olive
#

3200c16 ballistix for 75 usd is good yes

#

ah, a 3060

little osprey
#

was their list lol

#

not mien

earnest olive
#

yeah i would say no point in getting higher binned ram unless you want to upgrade that gpu soon

#

3060 will be the bottleneck

little osprey
#

3060 ti > 3060 in terms of price/performance and value tbh

earnest olive
#

...if you can find one

little osprey
#

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

earnest olive
#

i'm inclined to agree with the 3060

little osprey
#

honestly just go with an mp33/helix-L for the drive and switching the ram can easily land a 3060 Ti

earnest olive
#

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

signal scarab
#

is the z73 AIO compatible with AM4 cpus

little osprey
#

yea and a 100 usd case w a 3060 🤔

earnest olive
stoic island
#

3200c16 good nuff

#

3000c15 good nuff

signal scarab

ok

little osprey
#

@stoic islandhii waveyboy

stoic island
#

no need for faster ram on Intel tbh >:P

#

hi

fossil cedar
#

in fairness ballistix 3200 is like 87$ on pcpp

earnest olive
#

that's just not true

#

especially 11th gen

stoic island
#

yeye gains at higher freq and all

#

but does it really warrant the price?

little osprey
little osprey
stoic island
#

(talking budget builds here, <1500$)

#

if you have a 3000$ build go crazy on ram

earnest olive
#

if you pay $17 more on a $1250 system that's barely 1% more

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

But does it give you much?

little osprey
earnest olive
#

could increase performance by maybe 5%

#

worth imo

stoic island
#

Does it though?

little osprey
#

3200C16 vs 360016 wont be 5% increase in perf..

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

this would be with 3070 prob

earnest olive
#

depends on the game and the rest of the system

#

like i said, 3200c16 with 3060 good

stoic island
#

yeye

earnest olive
#

for a 3060ti+ i'd be looking at 3600c16 at least

stoic island
#

lower end builds, 3200c16 gud

#

I say 3600c16 min on 3080, 3070 only when you have extra budget

earnest olive
#

it's $17

#

if you can afford a 3070 then $17 is nothing

stoic island
#

dunno, nowadays I usually get over budget considering GPU pricing, so I really want to save every bit yaknow

earnest olive
#

3070 combos are retailing for 1.1k now

little osprey
#

@fossil cedarhttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/dw6B3Z
buiild thats 20 usd cheaper than yours while having a 3070 vs 3060 lol

earnest olive
#

$500 3070

#

good luck

little osprey
#

im just listing msrp shrug

earnest olive
#

msrp hasn't been a relevant number in ages

#

450 for a 3060 isn't very realistic either tbh

#

street price is 800

stoic island
#

I used to believe in 500$ 3070

#

but BB Drops are hard as heck

#

and wack

earnest olive
#

newegg bundles are getting expensive too

stoic island
#

3060 shuffle price 450 sounds about right

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

lol i hate the best buy drop system so much i'd rather buy a scalped one than waste that much of my time

stoic island
#

one today for 500, about 2 days ago the xc was alone for 400$

earnest olive
#

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

stoic island
#

lol

earnest olive
#

i tried a best buy drop once while eating

#

picked up a piece of food for 2 seconds

#

missed a 3070

stoic island
#

lol

earnest olive
#

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

stoic island
#

fr?

earnest olive
#

the last 3070 i won from newegg shuffle was $833.51 after tax and it wasn't even in a bundle

stoic island
#

only seen like 1200$+ 3070's

teal linden
earnest olive
#

some scalpers selling 3070s for 1100

teal linden
#

well i got merc 319 black 6900xt so it got good cooling XD

stoic island
#

I mean, heat is just half the issue

#

silicon itself deteriorates over time, but ye

earnest olive
#

mining for 1 month straight

#

at like 50% fan speed

stoic island
#

mmm

earnest olive
#

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

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

hell, g6 shouldn't get hot on it's own afaik (without thermal pad).

earnest olive
#

yeah gddr6 is not really an issue with temps

#

they don't include temp sensor for a reason

stoic island
#

p sure 6900xt uses g6, right?

fossil cedar
#

my hotspot is like 50-60c with 3070 gigabyte thermal pads :/

earnest olive
#

yes

stoic island
#

aight

earnest olive
#

also my 3080 is in a less than ideal airflow setup

#

the 3070 above it is faring much worse in that regard though lol

stoic island
#

lol

earnest olive
#

it still runs at like 60C so not a problem

teal linden
#

i replaced my case fans with these

earnest olive
#

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

teal linden
#

and my back one is this

teal linden
#

nice you like tuf stuff too i got tuf g501 case

earnest olive
#

it's tucked into a corner but that doesn't seem to negatively affect temps

teal linden
#

my monitor is tuf too

earnest olive
#

i can't just leave it in open space or my cat is going to break it lol

teal linden
#

just get tuf case XD

earnest olive
#

cat gonna sit on graphics cards cause warm

teal linden
teal linden
#

i got bigger case though i got gt501 personally but thats twice the price

earnest olive
#

i have a white td500 mesh

#

but i replaced the stock fans

teal linden
#

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

little osprey
#

hello

#
rich helm
little osprey
#

ik only thing in stock

#

and my friend wants ir

earnest olive
#

oh wow a prebuilt that has some kind of mesh

#

never thought i'd see the day

little osprey
#

lol

cold sorrel
#

Anyone got tips for attaching fans to a case?

stoic island
#

screw go in corners

cold sorrel
#

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.

earnest olive
#

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

stoic island
#

also

#

actually nvm

fossil cedar
vagrant olive
#

mining?

earnest olive
#

yep

vagrant olive
#

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

earnest olive
#

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

vagrant olive
#

its heating up where i am

#

after a day of my door closed my room is an oven

fossil cedar
#

3080 makes too much money to not XD?

#

It's like 20$ atm right?

vagrant olive
#

for eth yeah

#

$20 a day

earnest olive
#

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

fossil cedar
#

That's fair lol

vagrant olive
#

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

fossil cedar
#

Make a nice toaster come october lol

earnest olive
#

3060?

vagrant olive
#

yeah

fossil cedar
#

Mine tbh

stoic island
#

who knows how long eth will last tho

earnest olive
#

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

stoic island
#

oh yea Nvidia put the driver back on it

fossil cedar
#

True

vagrant olive
#

dont the latest 466.27 drivers limit mining for all 30 series cards

fossil cedar
#

Also need a good enough psu

#

Just 3060

vagrant olive
#

oh

fossil cedar
#

And any 3070/80 ti

fossil cedar
#

In the future

vagrant olive
#

yeah im hoping my 3070 isnt an lhr card, not sure when those are supposed to start shipping for all the aibs

stoic island
#

only limit mining for 3060 atm

earnest olive
#

getting normal performance on 466.27

vagrant olive
#

ah kk

earnest olive
#

i should have bought up scalped 3070s earlier

#

1100 would have been worth like 2-3 months ago

#

today probably not

fossil cedar
#

I should have bought eth earlier, eth was still 500 in jan :(

#

Imagine all the miners selling in jan/dec cri

vagrant olive
#

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

earnest olive
#

lol i sold like 0.8 eth at 1.4-2.5k

fossil cedar
#

Oof

earnest olive
#

i am now holding everything i get

fossil cedar
#

earnest olive
#

just started holding my payouts

have 0.18 rn

earnest olive
#

ouch

fossil cedar
#

Well euro

#

But still

earnest olive
#

i think dogecoin is going to die off

glossy mason
#

For my build, I need a 500W power supply. If I get a 550W, would that be bad or will it still work?

earnest olive
#

my mom asked me about dogecoin

#

that signals the beginning of the end

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

power is pulled by pc, not pushed by power supply

#

what cpu and gpu do you have?

glossy mason
#

Ok and uhhhh.... let me get the link

earnest olive
#

the wattage calculator on pcpartpicker is not perfect

earnest olive
#

usually underestimates

glossy mason
little osprey
#

??????????

glossy mason
#

That is my current rig

#

er.... what is building

little osprey
glossy mason
#

Im*

earnest olive
#

okay 550w would be fine for this but avoid the s12iii

#

also don't go ryzen 5 3600

little osprey
fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

ryzen 5 3600 for $235 is terrible

little osprey
#

Yes

earnest olive
#

s12iii is a fire hazard

glossy mason
#

I already bought those zack

little osprey
#

i doubt it has a 3060

earnest olive
#

return them

fossil cedar
#

Yeah lol

#

Also if you don't have gpu

#

No signal on Ryzen

earnest olive
#

ryzen 5 3600 is just overpriced but that power supply is genuinely dangerous

glossy mason
#

Oh ok. Would the power supply 550W on Newegg be better?

fossil cedar
#

Also gl getting a 480 for 100$ i sold my r9 380 4gb for 170€

stoic island
#

which one

earnest olive
#

wattage is not an indicator of quality

#

also

stoic island
#

also, I don't think s12iii lights on fire? pretty sure just frequent failures

earnest olive
#

8gb rx 480/580 are now $400+ btw

#

just saying

stoic island
#

w a c k

fossil cedar
#

Yeah look at r7 290s mb

earnest olive
#

for $100 the best you can hope to find might be like

#

gtx 770

stoic island
#

gt 710

fossil cedar
#

I've seen r9 290s around 100

glossy mason
#

I got mine for free

fossil cedar
#

The gpu?

glossy mason
#

What power supply should I get?

fossil cedar
#

Segotep 600w

stoic island
#

what budget and gpu

earnest olive
fossil cedar
#

It's like 50$

glossy mason
#

Sorry. I know nothing about computers

#

And I got a graphics cards for free

stoic island
#

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

earnest olive
#

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

stoic island
#

anyways, close nuff

glossy mason
#

I have a GTX580

earnest olive
#

hmm

glossy mason
#

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

stoic island
#

wait

earnest olive
#

SLI is long dead

stoic island
#

580

glossy mason
#

But for right now, I’m trying to get a computer running and I’m not

stoic island
#

does that support uefi boot

glossy mason
#

I just need the power supply unit and that is it

earnest olive
#

did you already open the ryzen 5 3600

glossy mason
#

No it is shipping

earnest olive
#

cancel it if you can

#

otherwise return it as soon as you get it

stoic island
#

gtx 580 might not have fun with win 10

earnest olive
#

seriously

#

motherboard as well

granite field
#

guys

#

my friend broke his discord web

glossy mason
#

Why?

granite field
#

how does he fix it

glossy mason
#

Couldn’t I purchase those in the future?

#

And replace the parts?

earnest olive
#

...

glossy mason
#

You have to understand I know nothing about computers.

earnest olive
#

did you purposefully ignore everything we were saying

glossy mason
#

No, I just do not understand it.

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

the ryzen 5 3600 costs $100 more than a processor that PERFORMS BETTER THAN IT

granite field
earnest olive
#

we already said that

#

multiple times

glossy mason
#

So then which one should I buy

earnest olive
#

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

fossil cedar
#

And a b560 motherboard

earnest olive
#

paired with this motherboard

glossy mason
#

Alright.

earnest olive
stoic island
#

fun

glossy mason
#

Thank you and sorry again.

stoic island
#

Don't like size of ssd but oh well

#

Budget is budget

earnest olive
#

depending on use case maybe 500gb dramless budget ssd is better

#

costs slightly more

#

double capacity but less performance

glossy mason
#

I’m gonna be working a good amount this summer so my budget will expand.

granite field
glossy mason
#

$15K

#

I barely make that in a year

earnest olive
stoic island
earnest olive
#

actually i need to update this list

marble knot
#

do I need to take out my motherboard to install my new processor?

earnest olive
#

only if the new processor is not compatible with it

marble knot
#

my motherboard is a MSI Z370-A PRO and the new processor is a i9-9900k.

granite field
#

thats my gaming rig

earnest olive
#

yeah you can just drop it in

marble knot
#

sweet

granite field
#

my editi ng rig is too op

earnest olive
#

that mobo will have a very difficult time overclocking a 9900K though

#

just a heads up

marble knot
#

I'm not planning on overclocking at all, but thank you for the heads up!

earnest olive
#

you will see vrm throttling

marble knot
#

vrm?

earnest olive
#

even at stock it may vrm throttle a bit

marble knot
#

what does that mean?

earnest olive
#

throttle back the processor due to the power delivery system getting too hot

stoic island
#

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

marble knot
#

ah, so new processor would be the next upgrade? another techie on this discord said it shouldn't be an issue..

stoic island
#

It's not an issue

marble knot
#

oh phew

stoic island
#

OCing isn't important anyways :p

marble knot
#

y'all had me worried for a minute

earnest olive
#

it will work fine, you just won't get the maximum potential of the 9900K in intense workloads

marble knot
#

it's fairly straight forward right

stoic island
#

Yes

marble knot
#

i'm mainly using it for gaming. i currently have an i5-8600k

earnest olive
#

yes you can just take out the 8600k and put in the 9900k and boot it up

marble knot
#

pretty much anything would've been an upgrade haha

earnest olive
#

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

marble knot
#

cool beans

#

if that happens I'm sure I'll be back here with more questions haha

#

where do i plug it in

white patio
stoic island
#

@bold basin can you take a pic of the connector? Looks a bit wonky

bold basin
#

which one?

stoic island
#

@white patio it's just going on about bios updates, you can flashback the bios on that board anyways

#

@bold basin fan

bold basin
white patio
#

wait so it's compatible with my ryzen 7 5800x?

stoic island
#

@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

white patio
#

Do i give the bios and update right after i build it?

stoic island
#

@bold basin the one you're holding looks like 12v rgb, the one next to it looks like the standard fan connector

bold basin
#

where do i plug in the 12v rgb?

stoic island
#

@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.

granite field
stoic island
#

@bold basin what motherboard?

bold basin
#

B450 Aurus M

stoic island
#

One sec

white patio
white patio
#

5900x??

granite field
#

while the ryzen 7 5800x is a beast, ur downgrading from a 12 to 8 core cpu

#

ur losing 4 core

white patio
granite field
white patio
#

should i switch to that?

granite field
#

do you have the 3900x or the 3950x

granite field
white patio
#

awesome

#

any mobo you suggest for the 5900x?

granite field
#

yea

stoic island
#

Oh b450 aorus m does it weirdly

bold basin
#

how does it do it?

granite field
#

great overall board

stoic island
#

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

white patio
stoic island
#

Oh gawd

#

X570 unify at 550$

#

No

white patio
#

no?

stoic island
#

How could they do that to the board :(

#

It should be 300$

granite field
#

thats all

white patio
#

Oof

stoic island
#

@white patio any motherboard above 200$ better have a damn good reason, x570 unify had a pretty good reason for 300$, but not for 500$

granite field
# white patio Oof

otherwise ur good, if it needs the update afterwards it should be smooth sailing from that point onward, anywasy gtg, have a nice day

white patio
#

you too mate

stoic island
#

@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$

stoic island
#

Too much time spent looking at things

bold basin
#

did u see?

white patio
stoic island
#

Could go for a x300 4tb if you want, budget allows for it

little osprey

is it the wbite cables monkas

stoic island

@bold basin I think I'm being dumb and that's a molex connector

And a CPU Cooler

They both go in the same spot right?

little osprey

no

#

cpu cooler goes on top of the processor

bold basin
#

Where does processer go?

little osprey
stoic island
#

@little osprey you could also do the 'enter key later' and do it later to speed it up

bold basin
#

I dont think there is space for that

little osprey

pls just watch a youtube vid

of a cooler installatioon

#

I still get the same message but will try the delete all particition again.

If it gives you the same message again, plz send a picture of the message

here's the thing

#

its a birthday gift for my sisters 19th birthday we're getting her one

white patio
#

bruh don't you dare buy a prebuilt

calm arch
#

and i need it to be white

hallow glen
white patio
stoic island
#

They're decent nowadays because of the GPU situation

hallow glen
#

yeah

stoic island
#

Since yaknow, prebuilt charging 200$ more is better than scalpers charging 500$ more

white patio
#

true, but if you have patience prebuilts are trash

#

if you build one yourself

stoic island
#

But time-frames matter

white patio
#

the spec pre builts come with is sad

stoic island
#

Not always but anyways

#

@calm arch when does it need to be there by?

white patio
#

yeah depends on the prebuilt

#

is there another way to update bios without the flash thingy

stoic island
#

When you don't have a compatible CPU, no.

#

The other way is in bios

white patio
#

so for my 5900x i need to do that flash thing?

stoic island
#

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

white patio
#

judging by times now, do you think it will require one?

calm arch
stoic island
#

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

white patio
#

okay

#

may i ask a question, what are the spec in your pc

stoic island
#

3800x+2070

#

Serves me well

white patio
#

whats a 3800x

#

im kidding

#

cheers m8 i am gonna head off now, may come tomorrow for some more help lol

is this a good price?

#

i know its not on newegg, sorry, just asking

hallow glen

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

it really helps on older cards

but I'm not messing with that yet

no i mean anything under 1080p

1080p and under

subtle sentinel
#

ok

muted patio
# little osprey

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]

Why is your friend questioning ddr3

you want ddr4 but ddr3 is fine

lyric thistle

Is ddr3 under investigation for conspiracy

subtle sentinel

is he right

lyric thistle
#

If you have a ddr3 system

#

What are you going to use

ddr4 is much faster and is standardized on modern motherboards

little osprey
lyric thistle
#

Youd better not say DDR4 lmfao

subtle sentinel
#

i use ddr3

muted patio
spark bridge
#

no use ddr2

#

in fact use 256 gigs of ddr1 go even further beyond

lyric thistle
#

It's not really a matter of basing your computer hardware purchases on the DDR generation

spark bridge
#

rgb of course for higher performance

subtle sentinel
#

help how do i tell him

spark bridge
#

radeon 560

subtle sentinel
#

brb

lyric thistle
#

You'll want to determine two things, what GPU and what CPU you want to get or continue using

spark bridge
#

no say intel is better lmao

lyric thistle
#

And if the DDR gen happens to be 2 or 3 then that's what you're going to work with

subtle sentinel
lyric thistle
#

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

spark bridge
#

get a older ryzen or maybe older intel, Older ryzens are pretty cheap now and they'll definitely get you better performance

subtle sentinel
#

how do they make cpu transistors cuz theyre now like 2nm

spark bridge
#

i don't know the intel naming sceme that well

covert vapor
#

Nobody knows the Intel naming scheme well

lyric thistle
#

CPU transistors are glass

covert vapor
#

Beside gen number. That is pretty easy

lyric thistle
#

Just fricken s a n d

subtle sentinel
#

but how do they get them to be 2nm

covert vapor
#

Pog I have glass windows they are best cpu transistor now? pog

lyric thistle
#

That's why computers run on windows

covert vapor
#

Blowing my mind man

lyric thistle
#

Google semiconductor

#

It's an insulator that becomes conductive when triggered sort of

subtle sentinel
#

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 Nice
