unfortunately, no. Not only are the pins different but the voltages between aRGB and RGB are different as well.

wet bane
muted patio
#

Maybe, if you're willing to wait 30 days for it, it will work

#

Not sure I'd trust that but you can if you want

wet bane
scenic turret
#

I've seen it in the past that those work now and then. It depends on the person's mobo and amount of connectors

wet bane
#

Same item, just from US

scenic turret
#

In terms of using onboard RGB software, it can work but alot of times it's janky

muted patio
#

RGB software in general is janky.

scenic turret
#

Lol true

muted patio
#

IDK about that converter, worst that can happen is it doesn't work and/or cooks something

#

Best case is that it just works

scenic turret
#

Yea I worry about that to, 4pin and 3pin have different voltages

muted patio
#

Ya, 4 pin is 12 volt

#

3 pin is 5 volt

marble whale
#

Do all the integrated graphics have 4 cores only?

muted patio
#

If it were 3 pin motherboard to 4 pin items, that would be different because you'd be direct feeding devices with less voltage, not more

Amd Ryzen 5

scenic turret
muted patio
#

If you're on a budget I wouldn't go the Ryzen router. Anything $1,000 or less should be Intel

wet bane
#

Yeah no doubt on the janky part, my old case had two Corsair strips controlled by iCue and they worked 95% of the time, but when they didn't it was heck figuring it out.

muted patio
#

Because the AMD cpu part is not good when you get a GPU

scenic turret
#

^^

muted patio
#

meanwhile, the Intel CPU part is great when you get a GPU

marble whale
#

ok

muted patio
#

Intel 10400 beats out Ryzen 3600 in gaming

scenic turret
#

Ye

muted patio
#

For less money

scenic turret
#

And 11400 destroys it

marble whale
#

6700xt?

scenic turret
#

Yea that's fine

muted patio
#

It's expensive for what it is though

scenic turret
#

As long as you don't need ray tracing

#

I mean any new GPU at this point is still hard to get

muted patio
#

more expoensive than nVidia counterpart by $150

#

That too yeah

marble whale
#

What's X-Ray tracing do anyways?

muted patio
#

Realistic lighting, shadows and reflections. It's still kinda meh but the AMD gpu's are really overpriced.

scenic turret
#

Besides Reference models

#

AIBs are stupidly priced

marble whale
#

What time is it where u are?

muted patio
#

Yeah, they aren't bad, just overpriced for what they are

marble whale
#

high fps

#

but cheap

scenic turret
#

Depends on the game

marble whale
#

with X-Ray tracing

scenic turret
#

And what resolution

marble whale
#

idk

scenic turret
#

1080p, 1440p, 4k?

marble whale
#

haven't thought about that yet

#

8k?

jagged ember
#

you serious?

marble whale
#

is that even a thing?

scenic turret
#

Yea think about the games you play and what resolution you realistically need. Note your peripherals must match your hardware too

jagged ember
#

sure but you're gonna need to fork over a lot

marble whale
#

fortnite and minecraft and GTA cod

#

and cod

#

Is 8k even a thing?

scenic turret
#

Not yet

jagged ember
#

honestly no it's not actually a thing

scenic turret
#

Even 3090s can't handle 8k gaming that well

marble whale
#

90k?

#

lol

#

going to put more money than I will for the GPU than the other components

#

first time builder

#

What's a good thermal compound price?

ancient wraith
#

defragging worked

#

my hdd was slow

#

now quick

lyric thistle
#

nice

#

do you have an ssd for windows

ancient wraith
#

yeah

lyric thistle

nice

ancient wraith
#

is this an good

marble whale
#

CPU?

ancient wraith
#

r5 3600

lyric thistle
#

that's pretty good for a hard drive

marble whale
#

AMD?

ancient wraith
#

i was having issues where assets in games were not loading right

#

i hope this fixed it

lyric thistle
#

hmm

#

doubt it

marble whale
#

R 4 integrated graphics?

ancient wraith
#

what bro

lyric thistle
#

maybe you could move those particular games to your ssd

ancient wraith
#

i did and it fixed it

#

so i thought it was my hdd

#

which i think it was

#

cause games on my ssd worked fine

lyric thistle
#

ah

marble whale
#

Does it have dedicated or integrated graphics?

muted patio
#

3600 doesn't have onboard graphics

ancient wraith
#

i have a 2060

#

but i just thought maby my hard drive was too slow

marble whale
#

Rpm's on it?

wet bane
#

Next question is since I purchased the Eclipse P500A DRGB Case that comes with 3 fans. and I have a MSI B350M Gaming pro motherboard, that only has 2 fan connectors... can I use something like https://www.newegg.com/deepcool-fh-10/p/N82E16811990016 or https://www.newegg.com/silverstone-cpf04-black/p/N82E16811999309 I know I can do a splitter to achieve the three fans I currently have but I heard anymore than 3 you should get a hub with it's own power so you don't burn out the header and since I could expand to 8 fans... I was thinking a hub. Anyone have any experience with them?

lyric thistle
#

in Minecraft, when everything was on my hard drive, I had a library of heads for creative building detail and whenever I first loaded the world in and loaded those chunks it would freeze the game for like 5 seconds just to load in all the head data

#

on my ssd it loads in lickety split lmao

muted patio
#

Works great

#

Tucked into the upper left with velcro

ancient wraith
wet bane
muted patio
#

I have the P500 case, non-RGB

ancient wraith
#

i bought this fan hub and it didnt work

muted patio
muted patio
jagged ember
#

that isn't sata powered, is it?

muted patio
#

Did you power it with Sata power?

jagged ember
#

wait it is

ancient wraith
#

yeah

muted patio
#

It doesn't just split fans

wet bane
#

yeah I love the case so far, just got it tonight, only issues was my motherboard LOL

ancient wraith
#

i even bought a replacent sata power cable

#

it just was dead

#

the light didnt even turn on

muted patio
#

Light?

#

Don't remember mine having a light

#

Hmmmm

ancient wraith
#

it had a led light on the front

#

i think

muted patio
#

I don't remember lol

#

And I'm not gonna look XD

wet bane
#

LOL

jagged ember
#

are you RMAing it?

ancient wraith
#

yah

jagged ember
#

cool

ancient wraith
#

sucks lol

jagged ember
#

yeah, that does suck

ancient wraith
#

i need new fans

#

recomendations

muted patio
#

Huh, guess it does have a light

ancient wraith
#

i have a td500 mesh

muted patio
#

Never noticed it

#

Maybe it's on the corner tucked up behind the edge of the case or something

ancient wraith
#

maby lol

#

and when i turned it on my fans didnt work so idk

marble whale
muted patio
#

Huh, just plugged it in and everything worked. SOrry yours didn't, it happens from time to time

ancient wraith
#

yah

muted patio
#

Budget AMD is oof

Hello, I have tried to update the BIOS on the B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 so I can use my recently purchased Ryzen 5 5600x CPU. I have downloaded the latest BIOS on a flash drive, renamed it to gigabyte.bin and plugged in the Power Supply to the board. Then I plugged in the flash drive and held down the Q-Flash Button for about 10 seconds. There was nothing in the motherboard except the 24 pin Connector and 8 pin CPU connector that were connected to the Power Supply. I could not see the Q-Flash LED light up. I am worried that I have bricked the motherboard now. I was wondering if I could get any help with that? Thank you!

ancient wraith
#

my post office could have broken it or while shipping

muted patio
#

Meanwhile, intel is 6 core 12 thread

marble whale
#

16 cores alot?

ancient wraith
#

yeah

wet bane
#

I only learned about the 3 pin to 4 pin converter by looking at that deep cool hub LOL

ancient wraith
#

i have 6

marble whale
#

8 cores good?

ancient wraith
#

yeah

#

not b ad

marble whale
#

what time is it where u are?

knotty sluice
#

Anyone wanna help?

ancient wraith
#

my pc makes so much noise

#

i hate it

marble whale
#

ok???

ancient wraith
#

like a buzzing noise lol

marble whale
#

ohh ok makes more since now

#

I thought u where pounding on it.

#

for a second

muted patio
#

The manual doesn't mention it and there's no renaming tool

#

Try just the 13i file on the thumb drive

#

It also needs to be on the root of the drive, not in a folder, and not zipped

marble whale
#

sounds complicated never did it before

ancient wraith
#

is this good

unknown.png
#

ssd

obsidian wigeon
#

it's not even done benching

#

but that's not good for an ssd

indigo prism
#

i can hear when i am on discord with my bluetooth headphones, but i cant hear youtube on in my games
the setting for the game is set to my headphones but it still isnt working

obsidian wigeon
#

it's on the bottom range of nvme drives tbh

marble whale
#

Boot drive?

obsidian wigeon
#

even as boot drive, a good ssd wouldn't be that slow

marble whale
#

How many gbs should a boot drive be?

#

ssd or he'd?

#

hdd?

ancient wraith
#

ok

marble whale
#

How many gbs should a boot drive be?

ancient wraith
#

so what do i do

knotty sluice
ancient wraith
#

how would i move my stuff easier too a newer one

knotty sluice
#

Also would it be that easy to brick my motherboard if I mess it up?

indigo prism
#

ok i have a very strange audio problem if someone can help i would be grateful

ancient wraith
#

what

indigo prism
#

basically im trying to use bluetooth and it wasnt working till i connected my wire headphones, now i can hear out of my bluetooth and can talk on discord,. but when i load up valorant, whenever my friend joins my party the sound cuts out completely

#

soon as i leave the group with them the sound comes back

muted patio
jagged ember
#

did you select the correct audio inputs and outputs ingame and in discord?

indigo prism
#

yes i have

#

they can hear me when im on valorant i just cant hear anything when they join

jagged ember
#

wack

#

are you using a desktop?

indigo prism
#

yes'

jagged ember
#

okay, go to the motherboard manufacturer's website, dowload and install the latest audio driver

#

see if that fixes it

indigo prism
#

ill try

indigo prism
ancient wraith
#

look up on windows search system info

#

what mobo do you have

indigo prism
#

asus rog strix b550 a gaming

ancient wraith
indigo prism
#

so you should in theory download all these things?

jagged ember
#

yeah, like that

#

just the audio driver

#

unless you see other drivers that interest you

ancient wraith
#

you should update them all if u can

jagged ember
#

eh, you don't have to

indigo prism
#

what is the diff between a driver and the thing that is automatically on there

ancient wraith
#

uh

jagged ember
#

they're both drivers lol

ancient wraith
#

lol

indigo prism
#

idk anything lmao

jagged ember
#

just what's on the website is the most updated version of the drivers

ancient wraith
#

yah

jagged ember
#

so you can download and run them if you want

indigo prism
#

ok fair, downloaded hte audio one now that is it or do i have to do something with it

jagged ember
#

I do that very erratically tho lol

#

it comes as a zip, right?

ancient wraith
#

just unzip and open

indigo prism
#

unzip is the same as extract? oh boy i have 0% knowledge

jagged ember
#

auto installer should appear and guide you through the process when you open it

#

lol double click it, and drag whatever's inside to the download folder

#

maybe into another folder for organization

#

then there should be something called setup or something that you double click to install it

#

i'm still downloading that driver to see what's inside so bear with me a moment

ancient wraith
#

mine just had a exe

#

and you open it

jagged ember
#

All the way at the bottom, run the Setup Application

indigo prism
#

This is what I get when I open it

ancient wraith
#

oh

jagged ember
#

so

#

scroll all the way to the bottom

jagged ember
indigo prism
#

omg

#

ok doing that

jagged ember
#

yep, that one specifically

indigo prism
#

currently installing

jagged ember
#

will restart at least once so don't worry about that

indigo prism
#

once this works in theory i wont haveto have my wired headphones plugged in to use my bluetooth i imagine /hope

jagged ember
#

it should fix whatever the heck is going on there lol

#

should

indigo prism
#

yes it seems to have worked

jagged ember
#

wait until full install, and do one more restart

#

that's what i do

indigo prism
#

cant comment on the valorannt part tho cause i have no friends online rn to test it with

#

thank you both

#

ok ill do that

#

never hurts

jagged ember
#

don't know if it's actually necessary but yeah

#

doesn't hurt

ancient wraith
#

ya

indigo prism
#

thank you !

indigo prism
#

so it only half wokred

#

worked

ancient wraith
#

how that

indigo prism
#

mic doesnt work on valorant

#

and had to restart headphones to get sound to go

ancient wraith
#

maby its ur head phones

indigo prism
#

maybe. but they could hear me on discord

ancient wraith
#

is your inputs right

indigo prism
#

mic would be input?>

ancient wraith
#

om

indigo prism
#

output is headohones input is default system device, if i do anything else on either in or out all sound goes away

earnest olive
#

considering it only happens in valorant

#

i'd sooner chalk it up to riot's incompetence than an issue with your system

#

riot = 🗑️

indigo prism
#

lmaoooo

#

deff my computer tho

earnest olive
#

i been playing league for too long to believe riot can code anything better than a wet horse fart

#

it does only happen in valorant yes?

#

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it

indigo prism
#

i havent tried that but i will

marble whale
#

How many cores does amd eyic have?

earnest olive
#

8-64

#

epyc is more than one product

cerulean trellis
#

Why does my motherboard ez debug led say vga

#

and then it just doesent show a light at all after mhmhmhmh

earnest olive
#

vga light means graphics card problem

cerulean trellis
#

yeah but then it shuts off

marble whale
#

Can u buy Linux like windows or how does that work?

cerulean trellis
#

like it blinks and the doesent blink for a quick second and then it goes down to boot

jagged ember
#

That's fine

#

It happens on some mobos, mine included

#

Linux is downloaded

cerulean trellis
#

but doesent display

jagged ember
indigo prism
#

tried reinstalling valorant no luck

marble whale
#

How do you get it on the computer?

jagged ember
#

Which distro

cerulean trellis
#

but the weird thing is i was playing a game and it just shut off the display and hasent turned on since

jagged ember
#

Reseat the gpu and it's power cable?

cerulean trellis
#

did that

#

could it be a bad cable

jagged ember
#

Different cable?

#

Yeah try that

marble whale
#

If you have another GPU try that.

cerulean trellis
#

bruh

#

im to poor

#

😦

marble whale
#

yeah

#

Ok

cerulean trellis
#

@jagged ember could reseting the cmos work?

jagged ember
#

Also possible

cerulean trellis
#

ill try that

#

how do you take it out of the socket?

jagged ember
#

There's a latch

cerulean trellis
#

yup

jagged ember
#

You gotta press it and it should pop up

marble whale
#

Pick it up by the sides

jagged ember
#

Not cpu

#

Cmos battery lol

marble whale
#

Ok

cerulean trellis
#

got it

#

do i wait like 5 min

jagged ember
#

Yeah

#

Wait

#

Make sure you've unplugged your psu and turned it off

marble whale
#

If its not plugged into the wall, you should be good

jagged ember
#

Or else you'll waste 5 minutes

cerulean trellis
#

well i didnt do that but i just unplugged it

jagged ember
#

Now start counting

cerulean trellis
#

k

#

thanks fir the help

jagged ember
#

Np

marble whale
#

Why wait 5 mins?

jagged ember
#

For all the power to leave the system

#

5 minutes is safer than 1

marble whale
#

ok

#

Can you update the bios on a 2014 pc

lyric thistle
#

idk can you

marble whale
#

win 7

#

idk

#

that's y I wad asking

cerulean trellis
#

lmao

lyric thistle
#

idk

#

guess you'll never find out

marble whale
#

What will happen if I do?

#

on like a mobo made from last year

#

What will happen if I update the bios

cerulean trellis
#

and it didnt work 😦

marble whale
#

factory reset

cerulean trellis
#

how

marble whale
#

oh

#

I guess that doesn't work if your screen isn't working

cerulean trellis
#

when i press windows ctrl shift b

#

it makes a sound

marble whale
#

What kind of sound???

cerulean trellis
#

hold on

marble whale
#

is your monitor plugged in?

cerulean trellis
#

yes

#

it switched to dram now instad of vga

marble whale
#

Try plugin it in to the mobo

#

instead of the GPU

cerulean trellis
#

plug what

#

hdmi

marble whale
#

yeah

cerulean trellis
#

i dont have integrated graphics

marble whale
#

Won't it still work?

cerulean trellis
#

hold on let me try

#

nope

marble whale
#

the GPU should put the video to the mobo

#

idk

#

then

cerulean trellis
#

dang im really sad

marble whale
#

I feel you

#

happened to me a few times

cerulean trellis
#

yeah

marble whale
#

I just returned it

earnest olive
#

do you have another gpu you can borrow from someone

cerulean trellis
#

no 😦

earnest olive
#

boot with it and have the 570 plugged into a different slot

#

see if you can diagnose it

cerulean trellis
#

boot with what

earnest olive
#

boot with other gpu

cerulean trellis
#

i dont have

earnest olive
#

buy $20 gt 210 from ebay

marble whale
#

will it work without the GPU?

#

idk

earnest olive
#

i bricked 2 3070s flashing rebar

#

but i just booted using a different gpu and reflashed to fix

cerulean trellis
#

bruh i got 0.2 cents in my paypal

earnest olive
#

asus rebar tool is awful

#

0.2 cents?

cerulean trellis
#

yes

earnest olive
#

they let you have a fraction of a cent?

lyric thistle
#

0.002 dollar

earnest olive
#

or are you converting from some other currency

cerulean trellis
#

yes sadly

#

usd

#

i will go to a repair shop

#

and see what they could do

earnest olive
#

you dont know anyone that could lend you a desktop for 30 mins?

cerulean trellis
#

nope

#

i dont have friends

#

with pcs

#

im down bad rn

earnest olive
#

i dont think you know what that means

marble whale
#

if you have another pc with integrated graphics you could take that and put it in yours.

cerulean trellis
#

dang i just looked it up but i didnt mean it in that way

marble whale
#

Windows 10/ or pro?

earnest olive
#

repair shops charge a lot of money

cerulean trellis
#

ik

earnest olive
#

your best chance is to get the cheapest gpu you can boot with

cerulean trellis
#

it cost me 245 just to get a new ssd at that place

marble whale
#

GPU amd or nidvia?

cerulean trellis
#

amd

earnest olive
#

245??

#

for what kind of ssd

cerulean trellis
#

dollars

#

a sandisk

earnest olive
#

i just bought a 1tb gen 4 ssd for $125..

cerulean trellis
#

1tb

earnest olive
#

got offered 1tb gen 3 ssd for $90

#

but thought it was expensive enough that i would prefer to pay slightly more for the much faster drive

cerulean trellis
#

well it was with all of the intall fees and stuff

#

it was 80 for the install

earnest olive
#

80?!

#

installing an ssd takes 3 minutes tops

cerulean trellis
#

ik

#

thats what i said

earnest olive
#

why not do it yourself then

marble whale
#

Did you just get it?

cerulean trellis
#

because we didnt know what was wrong with it

#

no

robust lake
#

Wait

marble whale
#

ok

robust lake
#

You fixed ssd

#

For 245$

#

?

marble whale
#

window 10 or pro?

cerulean trellis
#

no i paid someone 245 for install and to dowload windoes

#

windos 10 i think

robust lake
#

-_-

#

For windows key ?

marble whale
#

ok

cerulean trellis
#

ssd

robust lake
#

Or you had it

cerulean trellis
#

i paid like 120 for a ssd that cost 80

robust lake
jagged ember
#

Wait so you paid 120 for an SSD install

robust lake
#

I just got pro for 1 $ tho

#

On ali express

cerulean trellis
#

i paid for th ssd and the install and for them to install windos and in total it cost 245

#

and they had my pc for over a week

jagged ember
#

God, shoulda just saved that money

#

Ssd and windows install is very simple

cerulean trellis
#

ik

#

overpriced

earnest olive
#

why did you go to satan's pc shop

cerulean trellis
#

i went to als

marble whale
#

Is the GPU fans running

jagged ember
#

Basically satan

cerulean trellis
#

they turn on then of on then off

#

and it keeps going

#

is this bad

marble whale
#

Take it out and re insert it

cerulean trellis

Are there 5$ ones

subtle halo

#

maybe @potent portal can deal with it

marble whale
robust lake
#

Gt210 cost like 20 30$

Lol

marble whale
#

Try that

cerulean trellis
potent portal

potent portal
cerulean trellis
#

potent portal
#

Didn't think it would if it didn't post

cerulean trellis
#

yeah me neither

#

one time i did windows ctrl shift b and it made a noise

potent portal
#

Different video port?

cerulean trellis

potent portal
#

Dead ports are not uncommon

subtle halo

#

im using bluetooth

cerulean trellis
#

i have a hdmi to dp

subtle halo
#

eeeh

cerulean trellis
#

and it still doesent work

marble whale
#

2 storage devices?

cerulean trellis
#

i have a ssd and hdd

frank stirrup
#

Darth vader how many times do racer and I have to tell you ur gpu is dead

cerulean trellis
#

?

frank stirrup
#

RMA or buy a new one

cerulean trellis
#

i didnt talk to you

#

it was my brother

#

that as talking to you

frank stirrup
#

then racer told you

#

that ur gpu is dead

#

replce or RMA

marble whale
#

Take the one with Windows out and see if that works

cerulean trellis
#

i think he told my broother

#

but ok

frank stirrup
cerulean trellis
#

dang i didnt know till know

marble whale
frank stirrup
#

There

potent portal
#

I'm inclined to agree, sounds like a dead gpu.

frank stirrup
#

he spoke to you and your brother

#

both have dead GPUS

cerulean trellis
#

dang this is sad

potent portal
#

OH DANG brought the receipts

frank stirrup
marble whale
#

I'm not sleeping today

frank stirrup
marble whale
#

Did that work Darth vader

cerulean trellis
#

what?

#

what work?

frank stirrup
subtle halo
cerulean trellis
#

yeah there is no use

#

no

subtle halo
#

is gpu still under warranty? @cerulean trellis

cerulean trellis
#

idk

frank stirrup
#

If the GPU was working he wouldve seen the bios screen before windows even loaded...

subtle halo
#

do you have friend you can borrow a pc?

cerulean trellis
#

no

frank stirrup
#

if hes not even seeing that thats not windows being bad

subtle halo
#

this is why we need friends xD

cerulean trellis
#

ik

subtle halo
#

for gpu testing xD

marble whale
#

try taking the one with Windows out and see if that work?

frank stirrup
#

taking out the windows drive will achieve nothing

cerulean trellis
#

i guess i will try

#

i mean i wont hurnt anything

frank stirrup
#

Remove cmos instead

cerulean trellis
#

i did

potent portal
frank stirrup
#

yeah no then no need to remove drive

#

resetting cmos disables fast boot

cerulean trellis
#

ok

frank stirrup
#

so you will 100% see the bios screen

cerulean trellis
#

i mean it turns on the gpu

frank stirrup
#

as in the stuff your bios throws up on the screen before windows gets loaded

marble whale
#

It doesn't turn off?

cerulean trellis
#

nothing is on m screen

#

when i turn on my pc

frank stirrup
#

Yes as racer told you when you had the same problem a few days back

#

some part of the gpu is dead

marble whale
#

is the screen on

cerulean trellis
#

ok

#

yes

#

its dead

#

no use

#

of trying

frank stirrup
#

the whole part doesnt have to die to make it unusable

marble whale
#

ok

cerulean trellis
#

can you get it fixed at like a pc repair shop?

frank stirrup
#

I wouldnt trust it

cerulean trellis
#

or do you have to rma it

frank stirrup
#

at all

#

RMA always better

cerulean trellis
#

i might not have warrenty

frank stirrup
#

getting it fixed from 3rd party will void warranty

#

did you overclock ur gpu?

cerulean trellis
#

yes

frank stirrup
#

To?

cerulean trellis
#

1400

frank stirrup
#

tell me voltage and clock

#

on gpu and mem

cerulean trellis
#

2100 mem

frank stirrup
#

voltages?

cerulean trellis
#

i couldnt slide the voltage

#

but i think i deleted the profile

frank stirrup
#

You used afterburner?

cerulean trellis
#

yes

#

and one time radeon software\

frank stirrup
#

Ugh

#

Never use afterburner for amd cards

#

also if the memory voltage was too high you probably killed it

cerulean trellis
#

it wasent saved tho

#

on startup

#

and i ran a heaven benchmark

frank stirrup
#

So you benchmarked a OC without knowing what you were doing and ran it under stress without knowing what voltages you were running it at?

cerulean trellis
#

no someone helped me

frank stirrup
#

and now ur sad that ur gpu is dead?

frank stirrup
marble whale
cerulean trellis
#

hold on it was a pretty long time ago

frank stirrup
#

get a 710 instead

marble whale
#

Would that work for you Darth Vader?

frank stirrup
#

229 for a 1030 is worse than a 3090 for 4000$

marble whale
#

Ik

frank stirrup
#

there

#

better

cerulean trellis
#

i will not buy and gpu bellow a rx570

frank stirrup
#

Best of luck then

#

ur on your own

cerulean trellis
#

but anyways idk what his name was but he had a cat as his profile

frank stirrup
#

Floppa?

cerulean trellis
#

maybe

frank stirrup
#

If you did ask him tho he would not tell you to use afterburner

cerulean trellis
#

he didnt he

#

i used radeon software

marble whale
cerulean trellis
#

its fine i will find somthing else

marble whale
#

More gbs

frank stirrup
cerulean trellis
#

yeah lol

marble whale

frank stirrup
#

its gonna be a year

#

minimum

cerulean trellis
#

yeah well i dont have money

frank stirrup
#

Try to RMA

#

its your best bet

cerulean trellis
#

where do i do that

#

where online

robust lake
#

Where did you buy the gpu from

cerulean trellis
#

ebay lol i dont think there will be a warranty

frank stirrup
#

What brand is the card from

robust lake
#

Which brand

cerulean trellis
#

powercolor

#

is that a good brand

frank stirrup
#

Nope

#

cerulean trellis

frank stirrup

I dont accept challenges that are a massive and total waste of my time

Hello, I have just recently joined the server and I know nothing about PC's but I am trying to build a gaming setup and trying not to go over $1,200 and looking for a good PC I am considering becoming a Youtuber so is there anyone that have any ideas for me? I am also looking for a pre-built one.

Or just go private on a browser that oyu don't want cache

I have Firefox set to clear everything when closed.

And Chrome for normal usage

My memory bad

Need to upgrade to ddr5

compact pebble
#

Anyone know a good prebuilt for $800?

uneven oar
#

I mean, what are the expectations?

compact pebble
#

One for gaming and decent space

uneven oar
muted patio
#

GOtta be careful with those, some have GT730 GPU's etc that won't game well at all

uneven oar
#

1650 GTX, i5 10400

#

Can you wiggle around the price or are you at a solid 800?

fossil cedar
#

best youre gonna get for that price range tbh

#

paying a bit extra will only get you off the shelf parts instead of oem really

compact pebble
uneven oar
#

I mean, @fossil cedar has a solid point, best bet would have all oem parts

#

the only thing sticking out as somewhat decent for the price are the acer nitro series

muted patio
#

Well, at that price point

#

You really can't be too picky

compact pebble
#

Yeah, I mean unless y’all can find a good monitor plus pc for around $1050

fossil cedar
#

but you dont need a 250$ monitor

#

150$ish will do fine just fine

compact pebble
#

Ok👌

fossil cedar
#

id get that one

uneven oar
#

assume 150 for the montior, gives you 900 for the PC, up the specs of the previous model and that could work for what you need. not much of a jump but hey

fossil cedar
#

they so similar

#

name wise

#

but the 2nd one way better

uneven oar
#

well you know what you want then. I mean the acers look fairly decent for the price and what it has to offer with it.

fossil cedar
compact pebble
#

Ok

sharp temple
obsidian wigeon
#

that build has trash ssd

#

just change into pilot e tbh

uneven oar
#

sabrent would be 10 bucks more but meh

compact pebble
#

Bruh I want to send a pc but I can’t it’s from Best Buy

#

But what do y’all it had a 5 3600, 1650, 16gb ram, 2tb hdd, and 240gb ssd

#

Idk the watts or motherboard but I could check

#

It’s for $929.99

hallow glen
fossil cedar
#

thats a 70$ case

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
compact pebble
fossil cedar
#

it should be okay then

#

i mean not great but

compact pebble
#

Yeah I just need something to start off with

muted patio
#

Which exact cyberpower?

#

Dm me the link if you need to

sharp temple
fossil cedar
fossil cedar
hallow glen
muted patio
#

Why 3200g

sharp temple
#

Is there any good airflow cases with the solid rgb front plate?

muted patio
#

Intel CPU so much better when you get a GPU

hallow glen
muted patio
#

I'd still go Intel.

fossil cedar
hallow glen
hallow glen
muted patio
#

Yeah, 3200 is the max for that CPU

fossil cedar
#

id go 11500 if possible

#

but if not 10400/11400

hallow glen
#

ive tried doing 11500, but it ends up 650 or so

#

ill try again, im not sure how much storage they need, so i gave them a lot, ill cut down a bit

fossil cedar
hallow glen
#

for low end do i need a b560 board? probably not upgrading for a while

#

oh

fossil cedar
#

25$ over budget

#

but if you get 11400 instead it would be right price

hallow glen
#

that looks pretty good

fossil cedar
#

granted thats stock cooler

#

but if you can afford/add later

muted patio
#

Maybe less, lemme check

hallow glen
muted patio
#

No GPU, don't need 500W anway

hallow glen
#

kk

muted patio
#

Really only need about 350W if that

hallow glen
#

so, do they need b560? they wont be upgrading for probably 5 years or so

muted patio
#

Yes

#

for the ram speed

hallow glen
#

eh ok

muted patio
#

It makes a difference

obsidian wigeon
#

big*

muted patio
#

Also

sharp temple
#

Is there any good airflow cases with the solid rgb front plate?

muted patio
#

can't use 11th gen on B460

obsidian wigeon
#

nope

#

solid = no air

muted patio
hallow glen
#

ok so im combining you guys part pickers

#

lemme check that

#

can i go 250gb ssd and a 1tb hard drive?

muted patio
#

No reason you can't, I just did it for cost reasons

hallow glen
#

kk

muted patio
#

Should still be under $600

hallow glen
#

yeah.

#

his budget might increase bc he might not have to buy school computers, he will have 750 budget if that happens. we can prob squeeze in a 1050 ti or sumn

muted patio
#

In which case, def Intel. The CPU is just so much better than AMD"s current offerings

hallow glen
muted patio
#

Things will change once the 5000G's hit the market in August tho

sharp temple
obsidian wigeon
#

honestly

#

none sadly

sharp temple
#

😩

obsidian wigeon
#

meshify c has similar looks

#

but is also geometric

#

less crazy tho

sharp temple
#

Could you give a link?

obsidian wigeon
#

alr

#

lemme rummage thru pcpp

#

here ya go

#

no glass side panel tho

sharp temple
#

Yeah not what I'm looking for...

frank stirrup
obsidian wigeon
#

wait

#

howd i forget 5000d

frank stirrup
#

No clue

#

literally the best case out there imo

sharp temple
obsidian wigeon
#

when gpu wasn't in shortage

#

i planned a build with that case

sharp temple
#

Like sub 100

frank stirrup
#

you can get it cheaper

sharp temple
#

Where?

earnest olive
#

you wanted 3 rgb fans with flat mesh instead of geometric?

#

$90

sharp temple
earnest olive
#

can't go wrong with good ol p400a

#

good case good price

sharp temple
#

Does it come with fans?

earnest olive
#

the 3 pictured are included yes

sharp temple
obsidian wigeon
#

not an issue

earnest olive
#

you should not pay $225 for this mobo

obsidian wigeon
#

however ^

earnest olive
#

there are better mobos for cheaper

#

z490 aorus elite if you want z490 bang for the buck

sharp temple
#

Does it have integrated wifi

earnest olive
#

hmm nvm it's overpriced right now too

#

you don't need integrated wifi

#

you can add wifi to any board

#

what cpu are you pairing this with

obsidian wigeon
#

pretty easily too

sharp temple
#

I7 10700k

earnest olive
#

you can grab this to save some money

#

will be fine for a 10700K

sharp temple
#

And I want integrated wifi, I don't care if it is cheaper I just want it, leave it be I don't want to get into This argument again...

earnest olive
#

well if you want to pay $65 for wifi 5 instead of $30 for wifi 6 then be my guest

#

oh nvm that board has wifi 6

#

but still

sharp temple
earnest olive
#

i've seen that board struggle to sell for $125 on used market

#

its vrms might not be good enough for 10700K

#

lack of data

#

cannot make any conclusions

#

however the similar z490 gaming carbon wifi has not been reviewed positively

#

the carbon is said to have terrible vrm heatsinks.. and they look larger than the edge

#

but i dunno if you demand integrated wifi for some reason then your options are severely limited

sharp temple
#

No I would like to have the overclocking and the silver would go good with the 3060ti founders edition

earnest olive
#

i mean.. it can overclock, just not very well

#

i just want to know why integrated wifi is a requirement over a pcie x1 card or usb adapter

sharp temple
#

But I wanted to mount my GPU verticly
