Aight
stoic island
well, @neon anchor why not smth like 10980xe?
neon anchor
The board doesn’t support it, diff socket
stoic island
ah, I thought you didn't have the board yet
frank stirrup
The board doesn’t support it, diff socket
Yes but you can get that cpu and a good board for the price of the xeon gold
neon anchor
More cores is better usually but the gold supports a higher ram speed
frank stirrup
More cores is better usually but the gold supports a higher ram speed
the 10980xe and the gold support the same speed
stoic island
10980xe itself is like 1000$, lga2066 board is like 200-400$
frank stirrup
thats 300$ cheaper than the gold
stoic island
it's a decent step over 6226R in performance, BUT it supports less ram
frank stirrup
it's a decent step over 6226R in performance, BUT it supports less ram
256 vs 1024
neon anchor
The 6226r is 16 physical core, more physical cores is better for the simulation software
frank stirrup
The 6226r is 16 physical core, more physical cores is better for the simulation ...
the 10980xe is 18 core

It’s only 8

I can do that
Better price that way too

You are correct
Yep get the 4000

Pretty sure 8x8gb ram is better than 2x32gb ram right

Aquantia was acquired by someone recently
They're a server thing
Hm maybe not
@neon anchor what prebuilt are you choosing lol
stoic island
@neon anchor I'll reccomend Puget systems too btw
stoic island
Lmao ok
frank stirrup
add another hdd in there for raid 1
frank stirrup
But looks good otherwise. Would be a pain to upgrade ram later tho
yessir
I strongly recommend reinstalling windows once you get the pc tho
dell has a ton of bloat
neon anchor
Puget systems has no sale, would be almost twice the cost
Also they don’t have the rtx 4000’s in stock

What's the budget, and how small and why small?
celest island
@fossil cedar Would like to keep it under $1000, cheaper is obviously better. needs to be small because the primary use will be streaming tabletop games(40k, warmachine) from conventions and tournaments so needs to be easy to pack and travel with, air travel included.
So smaller is better
would love to use this case if at all possible
Since its only being used for streaming just using a processor with onboard graphics would be absolutely fine, and it needs to be able to hold one PCI card, a magewell capture card

Do you not want to game on it?
celest island
this will not be used for gaming at all
celest island
the capture card is a Magewell Pro Capture Quad HDMI card
fossil cedar
Okay
It looks like it comes with a pcie riser anyway so should be able to use that case
Up to 2 slot card should be fine
celest island
cool
fossil cedar
Will this pc have any other use?
If it's just streaming an i5 10400 will probs be the way to go, will probs be a bit under budget btw
fossil cedar
Cool
celest island
As long as it can run OBS, a stream deck, and maybe some telestrator software if I can find something that will work
fossil cedar
As long as it can run OBS, a stream deck, and maybe some telestrator software if...
I'm not too familiar with the last software you mentioned is it demanding/what type of software is it?
celest island
just something that would let me draw on the screen in OBS, I dont even know if it exists and I doubt it would be anything intensive
fossil cedar
Okay that's fine then
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P4BTcT @celest island this should do
celest island
that looks fantastic, thank you so much
fossil cedar

celest island
If i wanted to go with a larger hard drive, is it important that its an m.2 drive?
earnest olive
m.2 is ssd only
an m.2 hard drive would probably break your motherboard and itself
fossil cedar
And i really doubt there's much space for a hard drive
earnest olive
you'd want to stick to m.2 in a small form factor build yes
fossil cedar
If needed you can get a 2tb m.2 instead
earnest olive
it's much smaller than other types of drives and does not need external cables
if you want a hard drive for the cheaper $/gb
fossil cedar
I just thought 512gb would be plenty because only streaming but you can definitely fit a 2tb ssd in your budget @celest island
earnest olive
keep in mind that this case only supports 2.5" drives (so, laptop hard drives) rather than full size desktop 3.5" drives
i'd also recommend some kind of aftermarket cooler
celest island
alright cool, I'll probably stick with that then and maybe look into an external storage to offload videos to
earnest olive
don't want to hear intel stock cooler roaring over your recording
if you try to use a raspberry pi to run h264 encoding
you're going to have a very bad time
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hZXngt added an aftermarket cooler and 5tb internal storage @celest island
5tb should be plenty to store your VODs
you could also consider this
minus 2tb but upgrade the cpu to an i7-10700
the 2 extra cores may be helpful if you're planning to stream higher than 1080p
celest island
cool, thank you for the additional options!@
earnest olive
i'm gonna go ahead and say that the aftermarket cooler is very important if you're going to stream with this
celest island
even if it wont be near the sound inputs at all?
earnest olive
hmm
even if that's the case
small cases are thermally constrained and the intel stock cooler is very weak
so you would likely see throttling and degraded performance while encoding
celest island
ok
earnest olive
h264 encoding is a VERY heavy processor load
celest island
well, one thing that may help with that is I believe the video switcher I'll be using does a lot of the encoding by itself
fossil cedar
the 2 extra cores may be helpful if you're planning to stream higher than 1080p
They're gonna use a capture card anyway so don't think it's really needed is it?

lapis rune
So slot 10 is the one right?

Hmm I see so what exactly is the difference between led and led cpu?
earnest olive
absolutely nothing
LED_CPU is placed closer to the cpu and may or may not be more convenient for cable management for a cpu cooler's rgb
that's all
it will not work if your cpu cooler's rgb fan is 3 pin
3 pin only works with D_LED

overclocking the GPU can yield good results

For AMD, manually overclocking is a waste of time
They boost very well
Are you in the US?
If so, I'd change just about everything on that list

Becuase the 5800x is easily available now
The ram should be 3600 C16
MP33 is kind of a bad drive for $100
marble whale
CPU?
muted patio
Mushkin Pilot E instead
The PSU is way overpriced, Phanteks AMP 750W instead for $109
Yeah
The single core IPC and speed of the 5800x will be far more useful in day to day use than the extra cores in the slower 3900x
Or spend an extra $50 and get a 5900x
Both of those should be fairly easily available now, especially from AMD.com on Thursdays

Why donyou think its dying. Tests out fine

looks fine ig

Probably due to read speed rather than corruption. Or fragmentation maybe but windows should do that on a schedule.

You really dont need 850w for the 3080
shoot i thought that was what nvidia recommended

evga makes both great and bad psus
Majority of the higher end are rebranded superflower units, so slightly overpriced compared to competitors. Most companies actually, unless companies like MSI where they’re just entering the psu market, have bad units
But yea more or less, EVGA has some alright units in the higher end
Low end (b series) is questionable, but instances of blowing up or causing issues aren’t very common. Not great for longevity and general safety, but not as bad as getting like a w1 lol
Oh hi gummy!
Didn’t recognize with that pfp lol

I'm new to this sight and not even sure I'm in the right spot but i
just bought a msi z590 gaming motherboard. I want to purchase a wd black sn750 nvme ssd. Will that be compatible with the m.2 ssd slots on the 590 or do I need to go another route?

Ok so i have a 3060 ti and my pc shut down randomly so I ran a benchmark thats really heavy and my pcie slot voltage is going in between 11.6 and 11.6 volts
Is that good
worldly sierra
It will be. Question is you should be asking, is if you need an sn750 @noble terrace

and the benchmark has been running for about 15 minutes and hasnt shut down

@muted patio on the hard drive its still freezing and the graphics are messed up
mystic needle
so guys i was updating my bios for my b550 taichu mobo and i put my ryzen 5900x into in the motherboard forgetting to turn off my power supply, keep in mind only the 12 pin power was connected but im worried i did damage
taichi*
ofc it is but b550 was cheapest
by 60 dollars at the time
anyway do you think i caused damage by putting my cpu into the mobo while the 12 pin connecter was in and psu was on?
oh okay
i can’t check until i get my graphics card😦
muted patio
The PSU doesn't actually turn on until you hit the power switch connected to the motherboard
mystic needle
The PSU doesn't actually turn on until you hit the power switch connected to the...
yeah no the power switch was on 😭
muted patio
yeah no the power switch was on 😭
ON the PSU?
muted patio
ok, taht's not what I said though
Power switch connected to the mobo
The one from the case
ancient wraith
it happend again
muted patio
The PSU doesn't turn ON until you use the power switch connected to the motherboard
Flipping the PSU switch just means it's OK for the PSU to turn on
not that it's actually on
mystic needle
OHHHHH
muted patio
Yeah
mystic needle
well there were lights on the mobo but i didn’t notice them cause they were so dim
sooo
muted patio
Well
mystic needle
i never clicked the power on the mobo
mystic needle
this is how it looked except the psu switch was on and the lights were on the mobo
the leds were on*
and i plugged in my cpu into the mobo while that was occurring
you can see the 12 pin connector was in the mobo but that’s all
where do u all think the damage went to if there was any?
@ me if anyone can help discuss this with me
mystic needle
also my bad i meant 24 pin connector
mystic needle
Why are you assuming there is damage?
idk im a pc noob 😭😭😭😭 and i also said 12 instead of 24
i messed up my words so im a true noob
24 pin is for gpu power supply right? LMAO
muted patio
idk im a pc noob 😭😭😭😭 and i also said 12 instead of 24
no. 24 pin is for Motherboard power
8 pin is also for CPU power
Assume there is no damage and carry on

Any ideas on how to route this splitter?
It barely doesn’t go through the top
It barely goes through the top I mean
muted patio
Use a different fan header and slide it through on the other side of the motherboard?
SHould be one on the other side of the board or on the bottom?
lapis rune
This one only has 2 :/ that’s why I have a splitter
The second is at the very top next to cpu power cord
muted patio
Nah, you've got more fan headers than that
at least 4
brb
Ah, you're already using the top one
lapis rune
Here’s the entire layout
muted patio
Any ideas on how to route this splitter?
Run it up through the bottom rather than through the top, if the fan cables will reach
CPU_OPT is tied to CPU FAN
lapis rune
Hm but the graphics card will be there
muted patio
You haven't listened to anything in the past so.......XD
muted patio
Hm but the graphics card will be there
It'll fit under the front of the gpu
lapis rune
Alright I’ll try that
muted patio
Alright I’ll try that
It'll be fine
lapis rune
Do I not need to worry about fans hitting wires
potent portal
EK Basic isn't great
You probably don't need X570, B550 is plenty
No need to get 2 SSDs, just get one 2 TB nvme drive for lower price, or more if you want. Pilot E 2 TB is $210.
Much better. I still say B550 is good for 98% of use cases though.

Scythe Fuma II CPU cooler
Better motherboard if you want to overclock/PBO
3600 CL16 memory
You can go cheaper on the power supply tbh, platinum isn't necessary. It's just an efficiency rating so it'll have no practical effect unless you have VERY high power rates.

I can't find CL16 is there a different name I should be searching. What is a better mobo?
spiral flame
this is what shows up might it just not be on PCpartpicker?
spiral flame
oh ok so 16gb is enough?
muted patio
It should be 3600 speed as well
3200 is a bit slow for AMD
and for just gaming, 16GB is enough
spiral flame
what about a mobo what is good
muted patio
What's the purpose of this PC?
I see small case but the 5800x could really use a better cooler
potent portal
desert gulch
this is what shows up might it just not be on PCpartpicker?
an easy way to do that is use the filters on the left side of ur screen'
you can sort by speed, latency, etc
spiral flame
yeah at first I thought it was a name of a product not a filter
desert gulch
ohh okay got it
spiral flame
to help pay for this I am planing on selling my current pc it is a dell prebuild it has a 570 4gb, ryzen 5 1400, 8gb ram, and a 1T hard drive should I sell it as is or spend sum money upgrade it and sell it for more if the second what should I upgrade in it?
potent portal
Keep the hard drive, sell the rest
spiral flame
what do you think I can ask for in this market?
desert gulch
for just pc 400 ish would prolly sell
potent portal
The GPU alone is going for about $250 so I'd do $400 for the lot too
desert gulch
The GPU alone is going for about $250 so I'd do $400 for the lot too
aye we came up with the same number lol
spiral flame
might put $450 or 500 so I can bargain
desert gulch
yeah
potent portal
Decent tactic
desert gulch
let them argue it down to 400 so they think they got a good deal lol
spiral flame
yeah
potent portal
Haggling is expected dealing in these things. And lowballers. Expect people to offer $200 or less.
spiral flame
would it go for enough more if I add like and ssd and stander mobe
potent portal
People are desperate enough, it'll probably go higher that $350
desert gulch
would it go for enough more if I add like and ssd and stander mobe
prolly not worth imo, ppl wont care to buy an ssd for it since itll have a good gpu atleast
spiral flame
yeah
desert gulch
since an ssd is p cheap
potent portal
Yeah they'll be buying it for the parts more than likely anyway
desert gulch
yea

alot of his followers are just tiktok comment warriors who worship him

like I put my list knowing it wasn't great but people said bad and did help at all
earnest olive
see if you can find a better deal than $400 on the 5800x
muted patio
IDK who carterpc even is lol
earnest olive
i see them selling lower than that pretty often on r/hardwareswap
got mine brand new in sealed box for $320
spiral flame
see if you can find a better deal than $400 on the 5800x
that is what the microcenter is selling it for but maybe I can
muted patio
For that price I might just upgrade lol
earnest olive
yeah i paid $300 for 5600x like a fool
time to upgrade to $320 5800x and sell 5600x for full price in a customer build
hehehe

You guys see the LTT wan show today? They showed the bottom of the new AM5 CPU. It's LGA 1718.
muted patio
Yes
spiral flame
lol I am at the end of it now
potent portal
Not sure how I feel about the move to LGA but I guess the mobo is cheaper to replace than the CPU if pins break
earnest olive
i like LGA more
spiral flame
I have never build a computer yet so I have no clue lol
earnest olive
amd socket feels kind of flimsy
muted patio
Having grown up with pins since the dawn of time..........
lyric thistle
it's easier for an amd cpu to pop out of the socket while it's still secured
intel can't do that lol
earnest olive
if an accident happens id rather replace $100-200 mobo than $200-500 cpu
potent portal
Yep every CPU I've owned has had pins on it. All the way back to my ancient Win 98 PC.
frank stirrup
it's easier for an amd cpu to pop out of the socket while it's still secured
Ive done that. very often
muted patio
Well yeah but you can resolder pins onto an AMD CPU with pins lol
lyric thistle
xd
frank stirrup
I have had a cpu that didnt have pins or lga socket
earnest olive
ah yes i love it when my cpu connects to the motherboard over bluetooth
spiral flame
lmao
edgy viper
Every cpu I've had has been LGA
potent portal
I think my first was a Celeron? Back when it was PGA
edgy viper
I've had 3 Intel and 1 AMD
earnest olive
ah yes

Thats the first cpu i ever used
earnest olive
the cursed slotted cpus

currently have an AMD LGA

Epyc is bad for gaming tbh
edgy viper
so I don't have to replace this $700 motherboard
lyric thistle
isn't opteron lga

i doubt someone with a 3960x is using it primarily for gaming

No way to tell until the testing is done
There's not a lot of room between the 3070 and 3080 so....we shall see
spiral flame
should I try to get it on release date?
earnest olive
3070ti and 3080ti are definitely not going to be anywhere near as interesting as the 3060ti
muted patio
I mean, 10-11% between 3070 and 3080 so

Well 3080 ti might be interesting
muted patio
gotta see where the pricing is
lyric thistle
all 3000 series is boring because I won't have first hand with it

I probably don't to be honest with you. @Whatever
If you’re just gaming, something like an sn550 / mp33 is perfectly fine

he has the extra $10 for an ssd with dram

Didn’t see the z590 O.o

yeah paying $109 for an sn550 to plug into your z590 board is probably illegal in at least 5 countries
