naw
me seeing alienware configurations with 5800x + 3080 + single channel ram + no ssd
wont fit

uhh
do people buy those
l9a?
sadly
thats where i got these systems
one day dell will figure out how to make a proprietary pcie slot for their oem 3080s
huh
that hurt me to read
nah that'd only hurt their sales they won't do that
What were they?
since they're 1000W 80+ gold fully modular ATX units
no name units?
oo not bad at all
i bought a couple EVGA W3 450W
that im replacing them with
and some EVGA BA 600W
im putting GTX 970's / 980's / 980ti in them
ah, not bad
yup
Do you get your keys wholesale somewhere or not activate them?
Ah, what about other builds?
i normally dont activate them
fair
if im asked i go buy a $3 key on ebay
3$ keys getting more rare sadly
i've gotten some used mobos lately that had keys attached to them already
it's nice
i have a R9 390 8GB i was going to use in one
but its too big
so ima sell it on ebay to get money out of it
then buy a 1060 or something
390's go for like $400
1060's are only 300ish
or i can buy a 980ti
wacky
for $400
How much fees are associated with selling on ebay?
I assume it's just impractical to sell entire builds, but what about parts?
10%ish
Does it scale with price or is it flat percentage fee?
Obsidian 1000D
Trash
Do I plug this into my motherboard for RGB?
Yes but make sure it's a 4 pin header and not a 3 pin
Alright cool it is
Yeah I already found it and test fit it just wanted to make sure before I short something lmao
ok lol
Thought so, I've been looking at it, but it's sooo expensive
Is it worth it?
That's a subjective question... it's very big, but it's great if you want a dual system, lots of room for liquid cooling. Wouldn't be worth it for an air cooled system. Also, it's very heavy... my build is 118lbs, so keep that in mind if plan to put it on a desk.
Ouch
So my RGB doesn’t work so any idea why? The slot I plugged it into is a MSI mystic light port so not sure if that would have anything to do with it but the fans are also MSI so idk
I plugged the cables in backwards…
Anyone here good with raid on NVME?
Why tho
like weight...
or currency
bc weight, that’s a little much
Imma assume weight lol
heavy boi
Damm that's 53kg that's like a 5'2 persons weight or something wtf
Imagine moving it to clean or something ;-;
There was a person who bought one of those and then sold and shipped it later for 200 shipping fee
And they bought it because 'why not'

Super excited to build all this! (3080,5800x ,16gb ram, rog strix b550-F gaming Wifi
good luck bro
@odd abyss weight, it can hold two systems and two 480 aios(front alone) in one
huh
It's a 500 USD case
what case
wait how did peeps change they nicknames on this server to their pc stats
thx
I just hold on my name and press manage user on mobile
Bought this the other day though
Got it for $60 including shipping and tax
Will be here tomorrow
Anyone know what the voltage should be for a 5950x when it's idle
Asking for someone else
Idle voltage is probs 1.4-1.5 then less as it loads
My 3700x idles at 1.1 sometimes tho, it fluctuates
I have a 3700x but since Idk nothing about cpu overclockinh I just use amd ryznr master and auto oc
Welp time to get back to day two of 4 of week 5 of 5 for my math class
careful with the fan hub in that case
it can only do 100% fan speed
@muted patio he said his cpu only boosts to 4 ghz at 1.4 volts
He's tryna get higher he has good cooling btw
360 mm radiator
What's the pump speed set to and what board is it?
X570
X570 what tho
Ok
Def should go higher than that
Then will he be able to oc higher???
also make sure on the latest BIOS
@earnest olive I'm not worried, going to be running cryorig 120s
just an important heads up
I'll also be plugging directly into mobo too
that's good
i was doing research into the case for a budget build with few fan headers so
I like cryorigs as they move the most air(from what I've seen
Might swap to a cryorig AIO too to match
360 can struggle on a 5900x lol
i personally like the build alot
maybe you could go for a 850w PSU imo
just to be safe

Especially if they OC
Even if they don't, 750W isn't quite enough but eh
3700x doesnt draw that much power
It doesnt
~120W on PBO but it's the 3080 transients that get you
mmhhmm
I used to OC a 7 3700x, used to have a boosted 2070S, 6 ARGB fans, 4 ARGB 16GB 3200mhz ram, a 360mm aio, 2 m2 SSDs, 2 sata SSDs, and 2 1080p 144hz monitors
And ran off a Asus rog strix 80+ gold fully modular 750w
Probs fine on 600-650W
TBH
3080's are a whole nother beast, 500W transient power draw
Got the PSU brand new for $50
Wasn't registered thru Asus and came with receipt from Amazon
Bought in person
Still in plastic wrapping as if it was straight off the shelf
Even used $50 for one of those is a good deal
They are good PSU
b550 aorus pro or b550 rog strix f/e

Or I shouldn't think much and pick either of that 2
if your 360mm aio is garbage, sure
@urban trellisDid you friend turn on the fmax power enhancement or whatever in the PBO settings?
if so, turn it off
bud bud aslong as you dont go installing everything you see, you dont even need an antivirus.
Nothing wrong with having an antivirus even if it's not needed
i guess its because i use a lot of stuff that require an antivirus off (dlls and such are needed) so i just go off rule of thumb: dont install anything that isnt trusted, worked for years.
once it failed because dev got caught for putting a crypto mining virus on peoples pc, updated the blank, and the update installed ransomware on everyones pc running it at the time. this is why you dont have auto updates on.
Dlss doesn't need your antivirus off lol
yeah depends
some are false positives
get deleted alot with antivirus on, its against tos to talk about what i have installed so not going into it any further.
I mean it's a good rule of thumb but auto updates are fine lol
for third party apps they arent. trust me, i keep them isolated aswell.
anything to make sure another blank dosent happen.
blue stacks is trust worthy right?
Unless you're using some sketchy 💩 in the first place auto updates aren't harmful
Afaik yes
i cant get mine too work ive looked it up and its so dumb
What's wrong?
if you have time just get Bliss OS or Android X86, just partition a drive or use a random extra drive.
mmmmm no
That's way more work then emulation lol
too compicated
more work, wayyyy more performance.
i dont care that much i just wanna play clash royale
oh then yes blue stacks is pretty trustworthy
you know its bad then some youtubers say to buy a prebuilt for the gpu :/
People have been saying that for a while
it is just stuck on this
give it some time
its been 30 mins
yah
Nah
oh
may i know... why someone is selling a 1070 8gb BOX for 89 dollars
Malware bytes tells you if it detects something
it just opend lol
another for $40
but this is the second time it has happend the bar doesnt load
why sell boxes for so much? if i want a box ill go to the trashcan and find a few :/
Because people think it's funny that some people/people botting ebay are buying them i don't think it's ethical even if it is a bot but it's annoying if you're actually looking for a gpu
You need to enable it in your bios
will it mess anything up
No
ok
ye and idk i feel like waiting, im tryna buy parts to build a pc, upgrading from a Probook 6475b, and i realized these parts have skyrocketed from cheap like a year ago, to donald trumps leg for a 1080Ti, might aswell get a 3090 or 2080Ti. :/
Probook? A laptop?
You won't be able to add desktop parts to that then
no im buying a real pc
reread bud bud
i said im upgrading from
not upgrading lol
someone is seriously selling a used 1070ti for $1,500, not botted because its a buy now thing.
Oof
claws out rwar
Fairly certain my psu has finally died on me, or atleast is kn the brink of death but due to money being tight atm I'm going to struggle for a replacements
That is what I have currently
Will this be a suitable replacement for the time being
God no
What specs/budget also how long have you had that psu? Evga has a pretty good warranty
Also you might want to blur your address
I bought it in 2018
I don't have a budget, I need it as cheap as possible
And I'm running a 1080ti, ryzen 5 2600x, b450 mobo, 16gb 2x8 ddr4
But I will be able to downgrade to a 1050ti of needed, but trying to avoid that
Don't buy a no name psu
Talk to evga
Their warranty is 5 years i think
Should be able to get free replacement
I need one ASAP tho, I can't wait a week for it to reply because I need my pc for work but will try
Well the psu isn't dead yet lol?
Talk to evga customer service rn then
According to evgas website bq is 5 year warranty so
Hopefully so
Definitely get evga. I’m running one in my pc and it works great
Yep
Calling Evga and all it says is press 1 for english
Repeats constantly
Unfortunately I bought it through amazon so not entirely sure I will be able to get a replacement easily
I need something tho
For EVGA, you need to register the PSU online, then go through there to get an RMA. Had to do that with mine to get a replacement.
Can I register something that is 3 years old tho...
yes, the warranty is 10 years
you might not need to register it beforehand
It's required to be registered if it will be exchanged.
went through it a few months ago when my 850 died out due to an issue with the 3000 series cards breaking the PSU
you'll need an account and the sales receipt as well. https://www.evga.com/support/faq/FAQdetails.aspx?faqid=58064
I guess but that 34£ ketchup and mustard justop psu looked sketch as hell
You get what you paid for I guess.
Yeah but there's evga models pretty close to that price which i would take anyday
Check if your warranty is still good before going forward: https://www.evga.com/warranty/check.asp
After my customer experience with EVGA I have more faith in their products.
Evga have good customer service yeah
I don't really care for what it is as long as it works tho, I need something til I get paid and next month and can afford to replace it with something decent
If you get a bad psu they can ruin all your other parts :/
Reminds me of smart light bulbs...tons of them out there, buy a no name brand and you get poor quality bulbs that overheat and flicker easily. spend the extra 5 bucks for a known brand and reputation and you run into close to zero issues.
moral of the story: don't cheap out
What you don't understand is, I can't afford a good psu
is there not a person/other PC you can "borrow" a PSU from? Buying a cheap thing while your EVGA gets relplaced is such a bad strategy, bud
So I need something to last ke the month
We're not saying you need a good psu, just one that won't catch on fire or actually fry your other parts
I don't have anyone I can borrow one from, possibly my cousin but idk what he has and he uses it for school
Thats why I was asking if they would be a working temporary replacement
It will be a month at most
I can vouch for my Antec NeoEco. its a cheapy, but has lasted me 6 years with no issues, and its semi modular
Not in uk tho
how low can you go for your power requirements?
I'd say 550-600w cuz 1080 ti
yes i know, not same country...but this is this much here, how much there?
Not even available lol
the beQuiet one looks good too
It's c tier so won't blow up pc
What about that 600w, will it be enough though?
The one i sent is 600w
If you can't spend the extra 5£ then the evga w1 600w will do in a pinch
But the one i sent is a lot better for 5£ extra
much better than that what it's name called
The one you sent is out of stock, I've checked, and.its £50
Think I will get that 600w and.hope to god its enough
Look at ccl
It's in stock in ccl
Ccl?
Just checked, I've got 5 year warranty on the one I have, so I can get it replaced, so might buy a cheap off brand one til the replacement arrives if I can't borrow one
Has your psu died yet?
If it hasn't just use the dying one til you get your replacement
do you have enough for a collateral? they could send you a new one and you can return your old one once the new one comes in
What are you gonna do with the cheap one when you get the replacement from EVGA
It will go in a box and e saved as a back up again
I can't get in contact with evga support for another 3.5hours, it's 9-5pst
ok. good luck bud.
The one you have atm is free lol
It's dying bad, I can barely open discord on my pc and hope it doesn't die, but just sort has a graphical glitch, then nothing and attempts to reboots and goes kapoot and turns off
I'm going to order a cheap replacement because I can always cancel it if I can sort an evga replacement within the next couple days then I might risk it with what I've got
But do I downgrade to a 1050ti so it uses less power in the mean time
have you got a 1050ti lying around?
If you have it laying around yes
Reason: Bad word usage
My cousin is currently borrowing it but sod him
well then you might not need a temp PSU. if you stick the 1050ti in your PC, it willd raw less power and might be stable enough
while you wait
He's got an xbox so he doesn't need it as much as I do
for the EVGA
I'll grab it and hope, of it works I won't bother ordering one
If it makes no difference then I'll give it back to him
I might be able to survive without my pc if I didn't need it for work, I do have a ps4 somewhere lol
I've just got to wait til my cousin gets back... ugh the boredom
Reason: Bad word usage
Replacement psu has been bought, is a cheap 600w with all the connections I need, can be cancelled anytime in the next 10 hours and returned with a full refund in the next 30 days
Please tell me it's the evga one
Now gotta wait 3 hours before I can start getting in touch with evga for a replacement
Nope not evga, I amt afford that replacement
No i mean the evga w1 600w
Youre actually going to fry your parts
Adios
I'll only use it for work and youtube
Doesn't matter
Would be better off getting a lower psu wattage but better quality
Alright but if your psu actually goes on fire or fries your parts don't be surprised
Literally only got £30 for the next 2 weeks
Hope it works out for ya :/
Was there a reason you DM'ed me the comment "dont act smart" @near iris
Hey guys quick question, i used to have notifications on my pc and i used to get liek twitter notifications does anyne know how to do it?
15 minutes!!! https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle
Go into your browsers settings and find notifications
Yeah
Go into settings first then use the search feature in settings then
¯_(ツ)_/¯ make sire they enabled?
Where do I do that
Wym?
Like my Twitter notis used to pop up in the bottom right corner
I have no clue what happened
ah, #building-and-recc-chat , a wonderful channel
you mean like a windows notification?
Yes
That’s exactly what I mean
They just dont come up anymore ever since I redownlosded windows
Do you know the problem? @uneven oar
a hunch. Type in 'notifications' in your windows search box or magnifying glass and open the 'notifications and actions settings', check to see that chrome is enabled.
or whatever browser you are using
also see if it's Enabled (get notifications from apps and other senders)
hmm. Well could be chrome then, not sure...both things should do it
It’s just so weird how it used to work
What if I download the Twitter app on pc could I get notis there?
yes
Ok so ik someone who has a nzxt h510 will they be fine if they have there side panel open?
Ya
Just clean it out more often because dust
Yeah lol
lol
And how?
hello all
hello
I'm looking to upgrade my pc a bit, I just upgraded my processor and I'm thinking I should probably upgrade my ram next, But i'm not sure If I can just upgrade my ram, or If I'll need to upgrade my moba too.
Not great you can get a 3060 or 3070 in a laptop for that price
What do you have atm, usually a motherboard upgrade is only useful if you're changing cpus anyway
RAM- Corsair 16GB RAM DDR4 2133 MHz 2 8gb sticks
cl timings?
it's already pretty slow
What's the cpu/mobo
But yeah some 3200cl16 or 3600cl16 depending on cpu
should just work
cpu, Intel i9- 9900k LGA 1151/ moba MSI Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
3060 is basically a 2060
2060S
it performs slightly better
man building without rgb is hard now adays. reason i am is its in my room and i like it dark at night and i dont want to have to do anything to the pc to turn the rgb off
but for a better amount
what would the 3060 12gb be equal to?
That's a good motherboard and cpu, i would upgrade to some faster ram tho yeah, what cpu cooler do you have as well btw?
also i will be building my new pc over the next few days
Basically 2060 Super
3060 is irrelevant as long as 3060ti exists
2060 super, also laptop parts are not equal to desktop
ik from experience 😭
2070S?
so i should put my 2080 super back in my pc over the 3060 12gb?
Laptop GPU is like 30% less perf than desktop due to power limitations and thermals
What do you mean? Amd equivalent?
Yes
ouch
No it's mot 3060 is still a good card just not if you already had a 2060/1660 super
I'll likely be upgrading that at the same time as I need a new cooler too. this is the new one maybe, if not this one, something similar
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280
Yes 2080 kicks the 3060s ass, sell the 3060 imo
3060 is like 2070 og
but the 3060 12gb variant i thought was equivalent to the the 3070
Wat
Since when lol
Great cooler, that what you have atm?
Vram isn't everything
Nah, the gb amount means nothing lol
It's on a smaller bus too
Charts are more similar to 2060S with a bit of a perf jump
no, but it's likely the one I'll be getting when I do the upgrade
Yeah v nice cooler, what are you running now?
so i will be using the 3060 as a streaming gpu then XD putting my 2080 back in my main pc
CORSAIR - Hydro Series 120mm
Ohh oof yeah
Anyways, basically 3060 = 2070
I have a second pc i am building atm my old pc has a i5 9600k in it and i am upgrading to a amd ryzen 9 3900x
i also have better cooler and everything for the new pc
Why would you use 2 different pcs, use the same pc for both
Oh ok, I usually reference to GN and Hardware Unboxed
Did you mean 5900x? Don't buy a 3900x now it's kinda old unless you got a great deal
Then just sell the 3060 and old pc lol
Put 2080 in new pc
Just use 1 pc
yeahhh, what Ram would you reccomend?
ye, but passmark is just so much easier
Ehh lemme check what your board supports
when I want comprehensive comparison, I check GN
Ah icic
passmark just gives you neat overall comparison
I'd get ballistix 3600cl16 probs, cpu might not be able to handle it, if so get the 3200cl16
what chip?
why wouldn't the cpu be able to handle the 3600?
like 95% of zen 2 can do 3600c16 easily
9900k
9900k is just fine
it's an i9-9900k so shouldn't it be able to handle a lot?
Intel IMC is better
I wasn't too sure on older intel imc
it can prob do 5000c18 xmp on 95% of chips tbh
I'm putting a 3060 in my build (because it's what I could get). Also, I upgraded from a laptop 1060. Nice upgrade for me.
I mean
Damm
bleach is getting like a 7700k and planning to OC to 4000mhz
but is the ryzen 9 3900x a good choice to upgrade over a i5 9600k?
Fair enough
so I should go with the ballistix 3600cl16
Ehhh don't buy a 3900x 5900x is like the same price and way better and 3900x is like a year older
when buying the 5900x was 300$+ over the 3900x
Wait for it to come back in stock on amd.com or something
That's a scalper
should I just buy 4 gb sticks or look for 2 16?
I mean
i'm looking to get 32gb of ram
I would prefer 2x16
that's what my thought was too
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TBB3Dc I have changed this list more, how does it look?
not proven yet but yeye
it's definitely proven for overclocking
Depends on the board/cpu
if you're just gonna run a 3600c16 xmp it doesn't matter
I'm talking xmp perf
Ye
but like 99% of boards are daisy chain
it was an 8700k and won't boot above 3200 LOL
Get the 512gb version of mp33 imo no point below that
lmaooooo
I made the most of it tho
lol
still got 40.7ns
neat
I'm not really seeing a 32gb version of that ram lol, am I blind?
or is it really just that expensive?
yeah
well yeah you would expect 32gb ram to be more expensive than 16gb
more expensive but ye right here
Ntb
ahh, I was on their website where it was lik 400$
Round the same price as 4x 8
that's why I was shocked
Where you looking at 2x32 mb?
That's actually a good deal sad
the crucial website, but now. amazon seems to be out of stock of the 3600 2x16
Try a diff colour?
didn't even think of that smh lol
now the question is, do I pay $20 more for RGB...
Lol
what do y'all think? Should I go with the RBG?
ah, brilliant. lol. why didn't I think of it that way haha
Lmao
rgb wack
should I keep my old ram in the off slots and put the new ram in the main spots?
or should I just remove the old ones entirerly
entirely
what are the old sticks
Sell em on ebay
bothhhh
Nice arctic liq 280mm?
yessirrr
Nice
so i spent 2 hours on the phone earlier on hold before i gave up with evga.... i have emailed them instead but was hoping to speak to someone on the phone 🤦♂️
i have tried contacting both the eu and the na office but hopefully they will get back to me soon regarding my psu
im trying to build a pc and i would like some help to see if this would be a good battestation with a budget £1200
put 10700f
give me link to build list
thanks
its ok
ill change it and dm it do you
ok
not great mobo, not great cpu, not great cooler, not great ssd for the price
Bad aio bad psu
If you're budget is pounds use https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ list not the us site
ram nice
Yeah
thanks @pato
@static ravine thank you so much
np
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cQkB3Z this is more realistic, you're not finding a 3060 ti for 369
thank you
Np
I need a 3090
No you dont 
Does anyone know's why when I start up my pc and and like after 10to15 min it keep restarting my pc. Does anyone know the reason why this is happening??
Specs?
i'd drop the psu a bit to upgrade the ssd a bit
rm 750 for 3060ti
a bit much
Wasn't bother cross referencing psus cuz it's a pain to do in eu and that was the first one i saw lol
But pilot not worth in uk imo
It's like 30£ more
some options
txm 650 gold is more than enough for a 3060ti
i ran 3080 + 3070 off of a seasonic 650 without power limits for 15 minutes by accident and it was fine 👀
and the txm 650 gold is a better unit than that
Yeah ik 650w is plenty i was just being lasy, and i ain't a drive expert so i just went to sn550 as a go too
GPU-2080 RTX CPU- Ryzen 9 3900X RAM- 16 gb ballistix 3600
just think such a budget deserves something a bit more midrange
1200 gbp is 1700 usd
then again
you can't really compare that 1:1
cause prices higher in uk
Ehhh try clear cmos, you could be unlucky and not be able to run your 3900x at 1800fclk
sx8200 pro is the cheapest of the midrange ssds i can find in the uk
And did you enable xmp or did you just put 3600 in the bios for memory speed
Fair enough yeah
idk
honestly if you just put 3600 on ballistix with jedec timings and auto voltage it would probably run lol
if the board is smart enough to auto 1.45 or something
@fossil cedar can we go in a call to find out?
oh wait
i forgot ballistix isn't 2133c15 jedec
it's 2666c19 jedec
so yeah just changing it to 3600 should run
open event viewer from windows search
look for WHEA errors
ok
ryzen cpus are very prone to these in inexperienced hands
...and experienced ones for that matter

Or since it's restarting I'm guessing it's a kernel code 41 error
Might need to download who crashed but i assume it's a memory issue
well there's whea correctable and uncorrectable
uncorrectable causes a restart, sometimes bsod sometimes no bsod
it's probably not whea but worth ruling out given it's ryzen
true yes that too
my 3600x was getting a whea correctable every 2 hours or so at some point
before they released a bios update that fixed it
with a ram oc that was perfectly stable on the bios before it with zero wheas

so what should I do rn to fix it
what shows in event viewer
alot of warnings and error
can you send a screen shot
click into it
and dont bother cropping the screen shot that much sometimes theres more info on the side that can be helpful
having a lot of warnings and errors is completely normal
click on the error
it's specific errors you should be worried about
i get distributedcom errors all the time on perfectly stable machines
ehh whats the other error say
go to device manager
yea im there
or check on the manufacturers website
right click your devices and check for update
my gpu or cpu
ok
okay can you send the link for the Amd thing
your audio drivers from your motherboards site
to downlaod
https://www.amd.com/en/support go here and use the auto detect tool
I have a question for anyone that can help
New builder got everything set just felt like I wasn’t suppose to download Windows 10 on the NVME. Correction?
installing windows on your nvme is good
Oh
I was worried I wasn’t sure
I also got this red dot that went away but now came back , maybe cuz I was trying to make the pc show my other drives
Send pic
It says boot
Fourth light
Any thoughts?
@fossil cedar do you recommoned me turning on XMP??
and how do i open up the chipset programs
what do you have atm?
do you have a ram overclock
idk
Also what should I use the nvme and ssd and hard drive for?
I want to do school and game too
But don’t know how and where to organize it?
Am I in the wrong channel?
its fine
just use them as you please, put the files you wanna access more often on the ssds
quick question. do yall think that a 10850k would be able to run at reasonable temps, or should I go with the Pro version?
Huh?
Depends on the cooler
lmao one moment
There's no 10850k pro
Ehh get neither as rock is meh
I'd recommend msi or Asus
Fine if okay price
Meh
Depends on prices of them
Got my case in today
Then ti
Ti always beats super
Nah
Yeah, running a 780ti
It ain't small
If price didn't matter you'd be getting a 3080
Lol true
@fossil cedar
💀
Go into bios and select an xmp profile

It's called docp then
This what I see
Looks fine
So leave it at that
Yeah save and exit
ok
If you're pc still crashing download whocrashed
okay thank you
Np
Hey guys, i bought a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL and just finished putting it together. I added the rgb hub into the daisy chain for my argb fans, however the LED strip on the front of the case just stays a solid color and doesnt sync with my asus aura sync. Also my AIO seems to be out of sync of all the fans and gpu. Any suggestions?
Is all the rgb parts from asus?
Asus rog strix 3090, asus AIO, asus z490f, fans are cooler master MF120 Halos which are asus aura sync compatible (and are syncing properly)
Just the asus aio and the Lian Li case strip arent syncing up. If I set it to do a rainbow pattern, the AIO does a rainbow just not in sync wity everything else. Different colors at different times
Lian li probs uses their own software no?
But idk why your aio is being weird, rgb is a mess tbh
My best guess would be to see if you can desync it then resync
I have the AIO plugged into the RGB header. All the fans are daisy chained off of the add gen 2 beside it
I'm not sure why then
Oh well. I am just happy it turned on and everything else seems to be working for my first time putting a PC together
Alright
Would it be worth it to sell my xbox to buy a pc with i5 6500 and 1060 3gb
mmmm, IMO no
Most demanding game I'll play would be like apex or cold war
And all my friends are on pc
Why so
10603GB isn't all that good
Yah, but imma mostly be playing csgo. Valorant, Arma, stuff like that
And cold war is a bit demanding
Yes
How come
This is coming from someone biased against Xbox btw
I'd rather do mobile than Xbox 😅😅
Why
Grew up with Xbox, hated it
It'll be low - med settings at best
CS GO will be fine
The rest will be meh quality compared to Xbox
Won't it get more frames than Xbox though?
Mmmmm
Quite an old cpu too
Yeah lol
But would it be worth the upgrafe
No
Save up more then mb yes
Like a budget of 850 or so would be grand but not a 1060 3gb
Lol I have a 7 3700x and a 780ti on my desktop
Why
My laptop is a 3rd gen i7 and dual Nvidia 670s
Well, my gpu budget is 300
350
No, I wasnt gonna buy a 1060 3gb for 350
That budget would be OK if things were available
Cause I sold my 2070S for $600, went to buy a 3060 12GB from an old co-worker, but he never showed
But the CPu is also lacking, 4 cores 4 threads
So I got what was available, which was a 780ti
I also have a Radeon r9 200 laying around
Ooof
Ok, what if I wasn't to play cold war, then would it be fine
I've kinda been hating it recently anyways
So many bugs and everyone either camps or tryhards
No
Sure go ahead. Just don't be disappointed
You're best option would be to keep the xbox or increase system budget and get a prebuilt for 850ish and get an i5 10400 1650 super type build
Wtf you basically payed 200$ for a 780ti
I had 64GB tho so.....
Not as bad but still
Hey it's better than eBay prices
I'd rather play on integrated graphics lol
Ryzen don't have integrated graphics on the market currently
Atleast not locally for me
Ok, what about a i5 6500 and a 1060 6gb, would that be bettwr?
Yeah ik you don't have an apu but I'm just saying
Ik it's BAD, but it's all I can get
Yes but that i5 is old af, and if that's going into a prebuilt it won't work btw
I don't feel like spending $300 on gas one way to go to microcenter and MAYBE get a GPU
Why wouldn't it work?
I assume it's a prebuilt because it's so old
Because the psu wouldn't be able to handle it
Also usually no pcie connections
I would do a psu upgrade
You cant
Oems use proprietary parts
And mobo
Ok, I have 600 dollars, what do I get, full pc
Save an extra 250
I cant
Shoot, I could almost make a build better than that lol
I have 450, and my mom is giving me a 150 dollar b day gift, and I have to decide fast
Just need $200 more lmao
Better than his original plan
Save up an extra 200 or don't buy a pc unless you want to be disappointed
You can do better for $600 than that PC on the used market
Gonna be a crappy laptop for 600$ gonna be worse then the 1060 i5 old edition lol
I already have a brand new x79 mobo, so I could go the xeon route, and get a cheap gpu, and keep the xbox and play cold war and apex on that, csgo etc on pc
I didn't say a GOOD laptop lmao
Ehhh return the motherboard
I got a Pentium gold 5420G laying around
And old xeons aren't cheap all the time either
So, my best bet would be to look for pcs on like Facebook marketplace or eBay or something?
And actually, I have a fully built PC laying around too. Gonna sell it after I finish with college
FB would be better, eBay is usually a bidding site
Alright
If you can't save an extra 200 yeah
You'll want to go in with atleast a $800 budget from what I've seen
Alright
Thanks
I'm on eBay daily too
Cya
Do yourself a favour and ask someone in here if anything you find is good or a rip off
Cuz there's plenty of those on fb market place and ebay
Well, I know about pcs, I just needed an opinion
The one I'll be selling has an i5-8th gen with an igpu
Does anyone know if it’s suggested to use the box cooler with amd ryzen 5 3600?
Ran box cooler for a WHILE
Then I got a 360mm aio for Christmas
That's def overkill lol
Well my family believes in being prepared
Which is fine
Which worked since I got a 7 3700x in February
Vetroo V5 keeps a 5900x at 65C under Cinebench tho
But I wouldn't do anything like extreme OC with the box cooler @main knoll
Thanks for the suggestion
Stock speeds are fine
Box cooler won't even let it boost properly
Lol
Ok I don’t think I’m going too insane
I'm using the name branded ID Cooling aio
Enermax liquimax III
I'm at 33°C OC to 4.2 GHz
Stock will do in a pinch but my cooler improved my temps and clocks when i moved to se 224
Load temps, not idle lol
That's why I said it would work, but not for extreme OC
It won't even work for stock boost clocks
Nah i don't have any oc
Processor will boost but not fully
run avx2 with small data set on OCCT for 30 min 
Turn on PBO and remove limits for the 3700x, it won't stay at 60C for long XD
They quoted idle temps instead of load lol
i know lawl
The 50-60°C was playing Cyberpunk 2077 at max graphics with a 2070S and while streaming via twitch
Playing games isn't a great way to measure temps
TImespy CPU test
Or occt or something yeah
Also, keep in mind, mines on carpet in a corner
...
So ...
Still tho
Choking you're poor pc
Im in Texas with my windows open 24/7 as well
I think those temps are great
Im planning on working in Antarctica,.my temps are gonna be COOOLLL there
Does your case feet sink into the carpet?
Not really
Okay then its not too bad i suppose
I came easily fit my hand in-between
That's okay then
Aight, how about dis, I still buy the i5 6500 pre built, put a gtx 750ti in it (doesn't need external power) and use THAT for csgo, valorant, etc, and play the other games on xbox
Help me out how can I make this bootable
