se-224-xt the heck out of them

austere condor
#

naw

earnest olive
#

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

austere condor
#

wont fit

earnest olive
stoic island
#

uhh

earnest olive
#

do people buy those

stoic island
#

l9a?

austere condor
#

yep, people buy those

#

just to pull the 3080

#

then sell the rest

stoic island
#

sadly

austere condor
#

thats where i got these systems

earnest olive
#

one day dell will figure out how to make a proprietary pcie slot for their oem 3080s

austere condor
#

paid $450 shipped per system

#

5600x, 1x8 DDR4-3200, 1TB HDD, 1000W PSU

stoic island
#

huh

earnest olive
#

that hurt me to read

stoic island
austere condor
#

so i pulled all the PSUs

#

listed them for sale for $150 each

stoic island
#

What were they?

austere condor
#

since they're 1000W 80+ gold fully modular ATX units

stoic island
#

no name units?

austere condor
#

OEM of a cooler master V1000

#

really good units

stoic island
#

oo not bad at all

austere condor
#

i bought a couple EVGA W3 450W

#

that im replacing them with

#

and some EVGA BA 600W

stoic island
#

what kind of build are you going to make them into?

#

5600x+low end gpu?

austere condor
#

im putting GTX 970's / 980's / 980ti in them

stoic island
#

ah, not bad

austere condor
#

upgraded them to 16GB of ram

#

and got 256gb samsung NVMe drives for them

stoic island
#

As they should've been

#

clean install of windows?

austere condor
#

yup

stoic island
#

Do you get your keys wholesale somewhere or not activate them?

austere condor
#

pull keys from the HDD

#

since they're already there

stoic island
#

Ah, what about other builds?

austere condor
#

i normally dont activate them

stoic island
#

fair

austere condor
#

if im asked i go buy a $3 key on ebay

stoic island
#

3$ keys getting more rare sadly

earnest olive
#

i've gotten some used mobos lately that had keys attached to them already

#

it's nice

austere condor
#

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

stoic island
#

wacky

austere condor
#

for $400

stoic island
#

How much fees are associated with selling on ebay?

#

I assume it's just impractical to sell entire builds, but what about parts?

austere condor
#

10%ish

stoic island
#

Does it scale with price or is it flat percentage fee?

austere condor
#

flat

#

as far as i know

#

The heck

#

I want to say it's DMA maybe but

#

So many coils

twilit salmon
#

Do I plug this into my motherboard for RGB?

muted patio
twilit salmon
#

Alright cool it is

urban trellis
#

it should say rgb something

#

if it says sys fan its for system fan not rgb

twilit salmon
#

Yeah I already found it and test fit it just wanted to make sure before I short something lmao

urban trellis
#

ok lol

little osprey
#

Is it worth it?

gusty nova
# little osprey 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.

little osprey
#

Ouch

twilit salmon
#

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

twilit salmon
#

I plugged the cables in backwards…

earnest olive
#

118 pound pc

regal parrot
#

Anyone here good with raid on NVME?

fossil cedar
#

Why tho

odd abyss
#

or currency

#

bc weight, that’s a little much

fossil cedar
#

Imma assume weight lol

odd abyss
#

heavy boi

earnest olive
#

considering the case he's talking about probably costs more than that

#

weight

fossil cedar
#

Imagine moving it to clean or something ;-;

jagged ember
#

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'

little osprey
wary canyon
#

Super excited to build all this! (3080,5800x ,16gb ram, rog strix b550-F gaming Wifi

odd abyss
#

good luck bro

little osprey
#

@odd abyss weight, it can hold two systems and two 480 aios(front alone) in one

odd abyss
#

huh

little osprey
#

It's a 500 USD case

odd abyss
#

what case

little osprey
#

top can hold two 360mm aio

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

urban trellis
#

Anyone know what the voltage should be for a 5950x when it's idle

#

Asking for someone else

muted patio
#

Idle voltage is probs 1.4-1.5 then less as it loads

urban trellis
#

Oh ok

#

Thx

muted patio
#

My 3700x idles at 1.1 sometimes tho, it fluctuates

urban trellis
#

I have a 3700x but since Idk nothing about cpu overclockinh I just use amd ryznr master and auto oc

little osprey
#

Welp time to get back to day two of 4 of week 5 of 5 for my math class

earnest olive
#

it can only do 100% fan speed

urban trellis
#

@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

muted patio
#

What kind of good cooling

#

and on what motherboard

urban trellis
#

360 mm radiator

muted patio
#

What's the pump speed set to and what board is it?

urban trellis
#

X570

muted patio
#

X570 what tho

urban trellis
#

Dark hero x570

#

He's not online rn I ask him abt pump speed

muted patio
#

yeah make sure pump speed is at 100% all the time

#

use the fans for cooling

urban trellis
#

Ok

muted patio
#

Def should go higher than that

urban trellis
#

Then will he be able to oc higher???

muted patio
#

also make sure on the latest BIOS

urban trellis
#

Ok

#

K I'll let him know thx

little osprey
#

@earnest olive I'm not worried, going to be running cryorig 120s

earnest olive
#

just an important heads up

little osprey
#

I'll also be plugging directly into mobo too

earnest olive
#

that's good

#

i was doing research into the case for a budget build with few fan headers so

little osprey
#

I like cryorigs as they move the most air(from what I've seen

#

Might swap to a cryorig AIO too to match

shrewd fjord
wide sparrow
#

mmmm

#

good build

#

the only thing wrong is..

#

how are u going to get a 3080?

little osprey
#

Be rich and Facebook

#

And/or ebay

wide sparrow
#

i personally like the build alot

#

maybe you could go for a 850w PSU imo

#

just to be safe

little osprey
#

Especially if they OC

muted patio
#

Even if they don't, 750W isn't quite enough but eh

wide sparrow
#

3700x doesnt draw that much power

little osprey
#

It doesnt

muted patio
#

~120W on PBO but it's the 3080 transients that get you

wide sparrow
#

mmhhmm

little osprey
#

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

muted patio
#

Probs fine on 600-650W

#

TBH

#

3080's are a whole nother beast, 500W transient power draw

little osprey
#

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

muted patio
#

They are good PSU

worthy zodiac
#

b550 aorus pro or b550 rog strix f/e

#

Or I shouldn't think much and pick either of that 2

how do i pause malware bytes

#

anyone know

little osprey
#

@urban trellisDid you friend turn on the fmax power enhancement or whatever in the PBO settings?

#

if so, turn it off

opaque frost
# ancient wraith

bud bud aslong as you dont go installing everything you see, you dont even need an antivirus.

fossil cedar
#

Nothing wrong with having an antivirus even if it's not needed

opaque frost
#

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.

fossil cedar
#

Dlss doesn't need your antivirus off lol

opaque frost
#

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.

fossil cedar
#

I mean it's a good rule of thumb but auto updates are fine lol

opaque frost
#

for third party apps they arent. trust me, i keep them isolated aswell.

#

anything to make sure another blank dosent happen.

ancient wraith
#

blue stacks is trust worthy right?

fossil cedar
#

Unless you're using some sketchy 💩 in the first place auto updates aren't harmful

fossil cedar
ancient wraith
#

i cant get mine too work ive looked it up and its so dumb

fossil cedar
#

What's wrong?

opaque frost
ancient wraith
#

mmmmm no

fossil cedar
#

That's way more work then emulation lol

ancient wraith
#

too compicated

opaque frost
#

more work, wayyyy more performance.

ancient wraith
#

i dont care that much i just wanna play clash royale

opaque frost
#

oh then yes blue stacks is pretty trustworthy

#

you know its bad then some youtubers say to buy a prebuilt for the gpu :/

fossil cedar
#

People have been saying that for a while

ancient wraith
#

it is just stuck on this

opaque frost
ancient wraith
#

its been 30 mins

fossil cedar
#

Yeah just be patient

#

Ohh

#

It's been at 99 for 30 mins?

ancient wraith
#

yah

fossil cedar
#

Ehh

#

Doesn't sound right

ancient wraith
#

could it be cause my anivirus

fossil cedar
#

Nah

ancient wraith
#

oh

opaque frost
#

may i know... why someone is selling a 1070 8gb BOX for 89 dollars

fossil cedar
ancient wraith
#

opaque frost
#

ancient wraith
#

opaque frost
#

ancient wraith
fossil cedar
ancient wraith
#

it says this

fossil cedar
#

You need to enable it in your bios

ancient wraith
#

will it mess anything up

fossil cedar
#

No

ancient wraith
#

ok

opaque frost
fossil cedar
#

You won't be able to add desktop parts to that then

opaque frost
#

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.

fossil cedar
#

Oof

uneven oar
#

claws out rwar

dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

God no

#

What specs/budget also how long have you had that psu? Evga has a pretty good warranty

fossil cedar
dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

Talk to evga

#

Their warranty is 5 years i think

#

Should be able to get free replacement

dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

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

dense oriole
#

Hopefully so

ocean ether
#

Definitely get evga. I’m running one in my pc and it works great

fossil cedar
#

But yeah better than a no name psu

ocean ether
#

Yep

dense oriole
#

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

uneven oar
#

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.

dense oriole
#

Can I register something that is 3 years old tho...

stoic island
#

and well

uneven oar
#

yes, the warranty is 10 years

stoic island
#

you might not need to register it beforehand

uneven oar
#

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

fossil cedar
uneven oar
fossil cedar
uneven oar
uneven oar
fossil cedar
#

Evga have good customer service yeah

dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

If you get a bad psu they can ruin all your other parts :/

uneven oar
#

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

dense oriole
#

What you don't understand is, I can't afford a good psu

tight sorrel
dense oriole
#

So I need something to last ke the month

fossil cedar
dense oriole
#

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

tight sorrel
#

I can vouch for my Antec NeoEco. its a cheapy, but has lasted me 6 years with no issues, and its semi modular

fossil cedar
#

Not in uk tho

uneven oar
#

how low can you go for your power requirements?

fossil cedar
#

I'd say 550-600w cuz 1080 ti

dense oriole
uneven oar
#

yes i know, not same country...but this is this much here, how much there?

fossil cedar
uneven oar
#

the beQuiet one looks good too

fossil cedar
#

It's c tier so won't blow up pc

dense oriole
#

What about that 600w, will it be enough though?

fossil cedar
#

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

uneven oar
#

much better than that what it's name called

dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

It's in stock in ccl

dense oriole
#

Ccl?

fossil cedar
#

Look at the second buy option in the link i sent you

#

This one

dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

If it hasn't just use the dying one til you get your replacement

uneven oar
#

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

tight sorrel
dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

Just use the one that isn't dead yet

#

Until you get replacement

tight sorrel
#

ok. good luck bud.

fossil cedar
#

The one you have atm is free lol

dense oriole
#

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

tight sorrel
#

have you got a 1050ti lying around?

fossil cedar
#

If you have it laying around yes

still roostBOT
#
𝘔𝘺𝘴𝘵3𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘌𝘨𝘨#9260 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

dense oriole
#

My cousin is currently borrowing it but sod him

tight sorrel
#

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

dense oriole
#

He's got an xbox so he doesn't need it as much as I do

tight sorrel
#

for the EVGA

dense oriole
#

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

𝘔𝘺𝘴𝘵3𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘌𝘨𝘨#9260 has been warned

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

fossil cedar
#

Please tell me it's the evga one

dense oriole
#

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

fossil cedar
#

No i mean the evga w1 600w

fossil cedar
#

Adios

dense oriole
#

It'll be fine

#

I hope

fossil cedar
#

Nah

#

Possible but most likely fry parts

dense oriole
#

I'll only use it for work and youtube

fossil cedar
#

Doesn't matter

dense oriole
#

Psssh

#

It'll be fiiiiine

fossil cedar
#

Would be better off getting a lower psu wattage but better quality

dense oriole
#

Can't find anything heap enough

#

Cheap

fossil cedar
#

Alright but if your psu actually goes on fire or fries your parts don't be surprised

dense oriole
#

Literally only got £30 for the next 2 weeks

fossil cedar
#

45£ is cheap enough lol

#

Ehh

dense oriole
#

I'll rip it out

#

I don't need my skin

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?

muted patio
fossil cedar
wet prairie
#

Ok

#

Like google ? @fossil cedar

fossil cedar
#

Yeah

wet prairie
#

Can’t find anywhere that says settings

#

I mean notifications

#

Nvm

fossil cedar
#

Go into settings first then use the search feature in settings then

wet prairie
#

Ok

#

I’m in

#

It says it’s already there

fossil cedar
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯ make sire they enabled?

wet prairie
#

Where do I do that

fossil cedar
#

Idk might be an option for it

#

Look over to the right of the twitter symbols

wet prairie
#

Wym?

#

Like my Twitter notis used to pop up in the bottom right corner

#

I have no clue what happened

hallow glen
uneven oar
#

you mean like a windows notification?

wet prairie
#

That’s exactly what I mean

#

They just dont come up anymore ever since I redownlosded windows

#

Do you know the problem? @uneven oar

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)

wet prairie
#

Yup

#

@uneven oar

uneven oar
#

hmm. Well could be chrome then, not sure...both things should do it

wet prairie
#

It’s just so weird how it used to work

#

What if I download the Twitter app on pc could I get notis there?

uneven oar
#

yes

urban trellis
#

Ok so ik someone who has a nzxt h510 will they be fine if they have there side panel open?

#

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.

fossil cedar
#

Not great you can get a 3060 or 3070 in a laptop for that price

fossil cedar
marble knot
winged lion
#

it's already pretty slow

fossil cedar
#

But yeah some 3200cl16 or 3600cl16 depending on cpu

uneven oar
marble knot
winged lion
#

3060 is basically a 2060

scenic turret
winged lion
#

it performs slightly better

gentle hull
#

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

jaunty river
#

but for a better amount

gentle hull
#

what would the 3060 12gb be equal to?

fossil cedar
gentle hull
#

also i will be building my new pc over the next few days

scenic turret
winged lion
#

3060 is irrelevant as long as 3060ti exists

fossil cedar
winged lion
jaunty river
#

2070S?

gentle hull
#

so i should put my 2080 super back in my pc over the 3060 12gb?

scenic turret
#

Laptop GPU is like 30% less perf than desktop due to power limitations and thermals

fossil cedar
gentle hull
#

ouch

fossil cedar
marble knot
#

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

3060 is like 2070 og

gentle hull
#

but the 3060 12gb variant i thought was equivalent to the the 3070

stoic island
#

Wat

scenic turret
fossil cedar
stoic island
fossil cedar
#

It's on a smaller bus too

scenic turret
#

Charts are more similar to 2060S with a bit of a perf jump

marble knot
fossil cedar
gentle hull
#

so i will be using the 3060 as a streaming gpu then XD putting my 2080 back in my main pc

fossil cedar
#

What?

#

Use the 2080 for both

marble knot
fossil cedar
stoic island
#

Anyways, basically 3060 = 2070

gentle hull
# fossil cedar What?

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

fossil cedar
scenic turret
fossil cedar
#

Then just sell the 3060 and old pc lol

#

Put 2080 in new pc

Just use 1 pc

Ehh lemme check what your board supports

stoic island

when I want comprehensive comparison, I check GN

#

Ah icic

stoic island
#

passmark just gives you neat overall comparison

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

what chip?

marble knot
stoic island
#

like 95% of zen 2 can do 3600c16 easily

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

9900k is just fine

marble knot
#

it's an i9-9900k so shouldn't it be able to handle a lot?

stoic island
#

Intel IMC is better

fossil cedar
#

I wasn't too sure on older intel imc

stoic island
#

it can prob do 5000c18 xmp on 95% of chips tbh

cold sorrel
#

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.

stoic island
#

I mean

fossil cedar
#

Damm

stoic island
#

bleach is getting like a 7700k and planning to OC to 4000mhz

gentle hull
#

but is the ryzen 9 3900x a good choice to upgrade over a i5 9600k?

fossil cedar
#

Fair enough

stoic island
#

and it's been done before on hwbot

#

like 4000c14 or smth

#

anyways

marble knot
#

so I should go with the ballistix 3600cl16

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
#

It's like 96$ iirc

gentle hull
fossil cedar
#

That's a scalper

marble knot
#

should I just buy 4 gb sticks or look for 2 16?

stoic island
#

I mean

marble knot
#

i'm looking to get 32gb of ram

stoic island
#

5900x is 600$ even scalped

#

price isn't that bad

#

yaknow

isn't that bad

#

:P

full atlas

#

4x8 for looks

#

2x16 for performance

stoic island
earnest olive
#

it's definitely proven for overclocking

full atlas
#

Depends on the board/cpu

earnest olive
#

if you're just gonna run a 3600c16 xmp it doesn't matter

stoic island
#

I'm talking xmp perf

earnest olive
#

on most boards anyways

#

t-top boards will prefer 4x8

stoic island
#

but ye

#

ofc

#

daisy chain would do better with 2x16 than 4x8

full atlas
#

Ye

earnest olive
#

but like 99% of boards are daisy chain

earnest olive
fossil cedar
stoic island
#

lmaooooo

earnest olive
#

I made the most of it tho

stoic island
#

anyways

#

that hwbot guy who got it to 4000c14 or whatever

#

is crazy

earnest olive
#

won't boot above 3200? i'll just do 3200c12

stoic island
#

lol

earnest olive
#

still got 40.7ns

stoic island
#

neat

marble knot
#

I'm not really seeing a 32gb version of that ram lol, am I blind?

#

or is it really just that expensive?

stoic island
#

what ram

#

2x16 ballistix?

#

should be like 170$

marble knot
#

yeah

earnest olive
#

well yeah you would expect 32gb ram to be more expensive than 16gb

stoic island
#

more expensive but ye right here

fossil cedar
#

Ntb

marble knot
#

ahh, I was on their website where it was lik 400$

fossil cedar
#

Round the same price as 4x 8

marble knot
#

that's why I was shocked

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

man

#

I'm sad I missed the $300 i7-11700K yesterday

fossil cedar
#

That's actually a good deal sad

marble knot
marble knot
#

now the question is, do I pay $20 more for RGB...

fossil cedar
#

Lol

marble knot
#

what do y'all think? Should I go with the RBG?

fossil cedar
#

Do you want rgb?

#

If so yes

#

If not no lol

#

Guess it's personal

marble knot
#

ah, brilliant. lol. why didn't I think of it that way haha

fossil cedar
#

Lmao

stoic island
#

rgb wack

hexed hull
#

Is 1650 for 180 good

#

Used 1650

stoic island
#

ick

#

it's decent for today's market

marble knot
#

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

stoic island
#

what are the old sticks

fossil cedar
#

No

#

2133

stoic island
#

throw them out

#

take old out

fossil cedar
#

Sell em on ebay

little osprey
#

I need a 3090

fossil cedar
#

No you dont wuuut

slate yoke
#

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??

earnest olive
#

rm 750 for 3060ti

#

a bit much

fossil cedar
#

But pilot not worth in uk imo

#

It's like 30£ more

earnest olive
#

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

fossil cedar
#

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

slate yoke
earnest olive
#

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

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

sx8200 pro is the cheapest of the midrange ssds i can find in the uk

fossil cedar
#

And did you enable xmp or did you just put 3600 in the bios for memory speed

slate yoke
#

idk

earnest olive
#

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

slate yoke
#

@fossil cedar can we go in a call to find out?

earnest olive
#

oh wait

#

i forgot ballistix isn't 2133c15 jedec

#

it's 2666c19 jedec

#

so yeah just changing it to 3600 should run

earnest olive
#

look for WHEA errors

slate yoke
#

ok

earnest olive
#

ryzen cpus are very prone to these in inexperienced hands

#

...and experienced ones for that matter

fossil cedar
#

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

earnest olive
#

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

fossil cedar
#

true yes that too

earnest olive
#

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

slate yoke
#

so what should I do rn to fix it

fossil cedar
slate yoke
#

alot of warnings and error

fossil cedar
#

can you send a screen shot

slate yoke
fossil cedar
#

click into it

#

and dont bother cropping the screen shot that much sometimes theres more info on the side that can be helpful

earnest olive
#

having a lot of warnings and errors is completely normal

slate yoke
earnest olive
#

windows likes to freak out about things

#

yeah distributedcom is nothing

fossil cedar
#

click on the error

earnest olive
#

it's specific errors you should be worried about

#

i get distributedcom errors all the time on perfectly stable machines

slate yoke
#

thats the error

fossil cedar
#

ehh whats the other error say

slate yoke
fossil cedar
#

looks like you have a dodgy driver

#

update your drivers

#

all of them

slate yoke
#

okay

#

where do I go to do that ?

fossil cedar
#

go to device manager

slate yoke
#

yea im there

fossil cedar
#

or check on the manufacturers website

#

right click your devices and check for update

slate yoke
#

my gpu or cpu

fossil cedar
#

your gpu in geforce experience

#

your cpu from amd, download your chipset drivers

slate yoke
#

ok

fossil cedar
#

then any other devices you have

#

like wifi cards

#

etc

slate yoke
#

okay can you send the link for the Amd thing

fossil cedar
#

your audio drivers from your motherboards site

slate yoke
#

to downlaod

New builder got everything set just felt like I wasn’t suppose to download Windows 10 on the NVME. Correction?

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

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?

slate yoke
#

@fossil cedar do you recommoned me turning on XMP??

little osprey
#

I was able to get the SSd to show up now I have to get the hard drive

slate yoke
#

and how do i open up the chipset programs

little osprey
#

Also I connected both HDMI and display port, is the hdmi necessary?

fossil cedar
#

do you have a ram overclock

slate yoke
#

idk

fossil cedar
#

go into task manager

#

and memory

#

it will say

little osprey
#

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?

fossil cedar
#

its fine

#

just use them as you please, put the files you wanna access more often on the ssds

queen dagger
#

quick question. do yall think that a 10850k would be able to run at reasonable temps, or should I go with the Pro version?

queen dagger
#

lmao one moment

fossil cedar
#

There's no 10850k pro

queen dagger
#

dark rock 4, i had a moment lol

#

theres the pro and the non-pro version

fossil cedar
#

Ehh get neither as rock is meh

#

I'd recommend msi or Asus

#

Fine if okay price

#

Meh

#

Depends on prices of them

little osprey
#

Got my case in today

#

Then ti

#

Ti always beats super

#

Nah

#

Yeah, running a 780ti

#

It ain't small

fossil cedar
#

If price didn't matter you'd be getting a 3080

little osprey
#

Lol true

fossil cedar
#

Ohg

#

Legit tho?

slate yoke

@fossil cedar

copper sinew

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?

fossil cedar
copper sinew
#

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

fossil cedar
#

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

copper sinew
#

I have the AIO plugged into the RGB header. All the fans are daisy chained off of the add gen 2 beside it

fossil cedar
#

I'm not sure why then

copper sinew
#

Oh well. I am just happy it turned on and everything else seems to be working for my first time putting a PC together

little osprey
#

Alright

#

Would it be worth it to sell my xbox to buy a pc with i5 6500 and 1060 3gb

muted patio
#

mmmm, IMO no

little osprey
#

Most demanding game I'll play would be like apex or cold war

#

And all my friends are on pc

little osprey
muted patio
#

10603GB isn't all that good

little osprey
#

Yah, but imma mostly be playing csgo. Valorant, Arma, stuff like that

muted patio
#

And cold war is a bit demanding

little osprey
#

How come

#

This is coming from someone biased against Xbox btw

#

I'd rather do mobile than Xbox 😅😅

#

Why

muted patio
#

Well yeah but 1060 3 GB ain't great for 1080p

#

1050TI better

little osprey
#

Grew up with Xbox, hated it

muted patio
#

It'll be low - med settings at best

#

CS GO will be fine

#

The rest will be meh quality compared to Xbox

little osprey
muted patio
#

Mmmmm

muted patio
#

WIth low settings yes

#

BUt the quality will be worse

fossil cedar
#

Yeah lol

little osprey
fossil cedar
#

No

#

Save up more then mb yes

#

Like a budget of 850 or so would be grand but not a 1060 3gb

little osprey
#

Lol I have a 7 3700x and a 780ti on my desktop

fossil cedar
#

Why

little osprey
#

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

muted patio
#

That budget would be OK if things were available

little osprey
# fossil cedar Why

Cause I sold my 2070S for $600, went to buy a 3060 12GB from an old co-worker, but he never showed

muted patio
#

But the CPu is also lacking, 4 cores 4 threads

little osprey
#

So I got what was available, which was a 780ti

#

I also have a Radeon r9 200 laying around

little osprey
#

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

fossil cedar
#

No

muted patio
#

Sure go ahead. Just don't be disappointed

little osprey
#

So....🤷‍♂️

fossil cedar
#

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

fossil cedar
little osprey
fossil cedar
#

Still

#

Grossly overpriced

little osprey
#

Paid $240 total

#

$120 per 2x16GB kit

#

So I actually paid $120 😁😁

fossil cedar
#

Not as bad but still

little osprey
#

Hey it's better than eBay prices

fossil cedar
#

I'd rather play on integrated graphics lol

little osprey
#

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?

fossil cedar
#

Yeah ik you don't have an apu but I'm just saying

little osprey
#

Ik it's BAD, but it's all I can get

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

I don't feel like spending $300 on gas one way to go to microcenter and MAYBE get a GPU

fossil cedar
#

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

little osprey
#

I would do a psu upgrade

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Why

#

Proprietary psu

#

Ik some have custom connectors

fossil cedar
#

Oems use proprietary parts

muted patio
#

instead of doing all these upgrades

#

Just get a decent PC to start with XD

fossil cedar
#

And mobo

little osprey
#

Ok, I have 600 dollars, what do I get, full pc

fossil cedar
#

Save an extra 250

little osprey
#

I cant

fossil cedar
#

Then get an i5 10400 1650ish build

#

You cant wait 2 months or so

little osprey
#

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

little osprey
fossil cedar
little osprey
#

I have another option

#

Get a laptop?

muted patio
#

You can do better for $600 than that PC on the used market

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

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

little osprey
little osprey
#

No, I didnt pay for it

#

I just have it

fossil cedar
#

Xeons suck for gaming

#

Also no cheap gpu in this market

little osprey
#

I got a Pentium gold 5420G laying around

fossil cedar
#

And old xeons aren't cheap all the time either

little osprey
#

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

little osprey
#

Alright

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

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

fossil cedar
#

Cuz there's plenty of those on fb market place and ebay

little osprey
#

Well, I know about pcs, I just needed an opinion

fossil cedar
#

Well don't go for any old cpus like you were proposing

#
