after asking for pointers

tight sorrel
#

The NR200 does

fossil cedar
tight sorrel
#

he can get an SSD later

fossil cedar
#

Could also get a cpu cooler later imo way better :o

tight sorrel
#

does the 11400 come with a cooler?

fossil cedar
#

Ofc

plucky wagon
#

Yes but i thought getting a cooler would make better thermal performance,but in retrospect that the NR200 comes with 2 exhaust fans, one 12 mm one 92mm, using stock fan might also work since i dont do a lot of heavy task

#

120

#

Revised the build, took out the 8 gig ram, use stock fan and added sn550

fossil cedar
plucky wagon
fossil cedar
#

Ehh i would get 3200 16gb if possible

#

How much is you 1 8 gig stick?

#

8gb is kinda bleh

frank stirrup
plucky wagon
#

16 gig 3200 would cost 66

#

8 gig 3000 is 35

fossil cedar
#

Lemme see

#

Welp there is no pcpp china damm

plucky wagon
#

Of course

#

Is a single 16gig 3200mhz performs better than two 8gig 3000mhz?

#

The price is basically the same

fossil cedar
#

Even tho 2x8 is better than 1x16

#

1x16 better than 1x8

plucky wagon
#

Much thanks

fossil cedar

#

I gotta get me some ram lmao

#

2x4 ain't much kekw

#

I want to get 2x8 Viper 3 1600 CL9 any way I can shave off the DDR3 tax

little osprey
#

Can't you get a newer model of your board(same chipset) that allows you faster ram?

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
lyric thistle
#

On the Q87 chipset, 1600 is the highest you'll really go

#

Im not about to go overpaying for a Z87/Z97 lol

#

DDR3 goes up to 3200 in overclocking apparently

#

It's wild

Wild

#

I already upgraded from my CIH81M to my Q87M-E

#

My i7-4790 is in the H81, my i5-4460 is in the Q87

Looks like USB 3.0

#

But like

#

It's blurry lol idk

#

Yea looks like USB

#

Line up the notch when you plug it in

tight sorrel
#

yup, USB 3.0. Be very cautious when plugging it in

#

the pins are mucho delicate

keen fractal
tight sorrel
#

have you got a picture of the motherboard socket?

keen fractal
#

Wait

#

@tight sorrel

tight sorrel
#

cant really see

keen fractal
#

Uh

tight sorrel
#

oh yes!

#

yeah, that pin is very bent

keen fractal
#

What to do

#

Is my mobo gone?

tight sorrel
#

all those 4 on the left look lie they need fixing

keen fractal
#

How to do that

tight sorrel
keen fractal
#

I'll die

#

If my mobo is gone

tight sorrel
#

its not super critical for your PC to run

#

maybe wait for someone else to give advice on how to fix it

keen fractal
#

Idk whom to ask

lyric thistle
#

Get some plastic spudgers and gently bend them back

#

Be smart with leverage

#

There's only so much you can do

#

You could also get a PCIe card with a 3.0 header if you can't get that port fixed

fossil cedar
# keen fractal

Usually at ths bottom of your mobo beside the front panel connectors, btw it's a lot easier to do those without your gpu in yet

#

A what lol?

lyric thistle
#

Tool

keen fractal
#

Did I fix it?

lyric thistle
#

For moving things, bending things, opening clips, etc.

#

No lol

#

Still bent

#

Might be a good idea to get the board out and set it down on a cardboard surface on a clean workspace to work on it so you don't have the GPU and all that jazz in the way

frank stirrup
#

I would use a flat head wire tester

#

Or a small flathead screwdriver

#

@keen fractal

@frank stirrup @lyric thistle
My pc is running now

#

Idk how tf it is running fine now

#

I didn't even do smthing

#

USB 3.0 is non-essential for running lol

What does it even do then

#

Hello ppl

#

Im having problems with my msi liquid cooler and my ASUS (Motherboard) (ASUS ROG Strix B450-F GAMING):

#

Anyone can help me on it plz

muted patio
#

Describe your issues

shut blaze
#

Well first i want yo know if they are compatible

#

Cus all the water cooler system are 3 pins

#

And my mb has 4 pin connection

muted patio
#

Yes, it'll work

#

EK or Arctic Freezer II is better AIO tho

#

$100 for 240mm

desert gulch
shut blaze
#

From the cooler system wires has 4 but 1 of then is blocked

#

So i cant plug in it to my mb

#

And i dont wanna break one of my mb pins

#

It's for the jraimbow but my mb doesn't have it that connection

muted patio
#

So the RGB part

#

Is 3 pin

#

which is aRGB

desert gulch
#

Yea it's called argb, it'll look like it should have 4 pins but is missing one

muted patio
#

Which is not compatible with your B450 MB

#

It only has RGB

shut blaze
#

Damn

#

There's any kind of convertible for that or not?

muted patio
#

3 pin is aRGB/dRGB and 5 volts

#

4 pin is RGB and 12 volts

#

NOt really compatible

shut blaze
#

Ok so can u send me any water cooling system could be compatible with my mb plz?

stoic island
#

freezer ii

#

@shut blazeWhat case do you have

muted patio
#

AFII is also aRGB

#

have to go no RGB

stoic island
#

what

#

I'm talking about the normal freezer ii

#

not the argb version

muted patio
#

Ya

stoic island
#

normal freezer ii doesn't have rgb

#

hell, there's both rgb and argb versions of freezer ii now

shut blaze
#

Cougar panzer max-g atx full tower

muted patio
shut blaze
#

What about the 360?

stoic island
#

out of stock atm, rgb one is expensive

shut blaze
#

Ok

little osprey
#

where i live, theres a heat wave going on, when i opened one of my games the avg FPS dropped by nearly 100. could outside temps affect my PCs performance?

muted patio
#

Outside temps? No. Inside temps? yes, if you get hot and the hardware throttles

little osprey
#

oh okay

#

so like the temperature of my room doesnt really affect the pc is what youre saying?

muted patio
#

The temperature of your room CAN, yes

#

Not the temp outside of your house though

little osprey
#

oh yeah

#

thats what i meant

#

thank you

muted patio
#

Gotcha! Check temps with something HWINFO64

#

Can see GPU and CPU temps there to see how hot things are getting but keep in mind throttle temperatures are around 90-100C

little osprey
#

okay cool

#

so its back to normal now

muted patio
#

Might have had an update or something running in the background

little osprey
#

i have certain settings on valorant and it usually hits high 300 fps and yesterday it was scratching 200, still not bad i was just curious what the issue was

#

but now its back to normal

#

it had to be the room temp

#

it was like 80 at like 11pm last night for me

grand geyser
#

I'm so glad that the only thing with RGB in my build is the motherboard. I'm going to turn off those lights upon completion of my build.

muted patio
#

My build all blackout except CPU waterblock with red EVGA

grand geyser
#

My case, the Phanteks P600S doesn't even have a glass side panel. I ordered the solid panel version in case I need to evacuate with my PC. I live in an area that gets hurricanes. My motherboard is the ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero.

#

For those who are curious, my graphics card is a GT 1030. It would be an RTX 3080 if I could get one for near MSRP. Although I'd be willing to go over budget for a 3090 at near MSRP if I could find that instead.

fossil cedar
#

I'd keep an eye out for 3080 ti if you're only gaming

little osprey
#

Corsair spec-05 case any good?

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Under 100, maybe 80 usd

#

around that

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Alright thx

#

what does the "digital" after it mean?

#

rgb?

muted patio
#

yes

little osprey
#

Meh

shut blaze
#

@muted patio @fleet gyro thanks for the successful help u guys gave me

muted patio
#

YW

little osprey
#

This case looks hella nice

#

is rgb worth $20 more...

shut blaze
#

Qnd now im looking for a led or rgb light bar

muted patio
little osprey
#

Can I sync razer/Logitech RGB mice with Asus aura or will I need an Asus mouse?

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Oh

fossil cedar
#

P360a has a slightly smaller front panel but apart from that

little osprey
#

That probably won't matter

i think this is the right chat. my PC broke literally a phew days ago. i was trying to get pieces but they are off the chart. i been browsing and found some premade PC on new egg but my only concern is that i dont know if i can swap the rams inside with the one i have here.

muted patio
#

Which pC?

fossil cedar
wheat galleon
# fossil cedar What's the specs of your current pc and how did it just break?

its not really my pc but family member there specs were extremely old so anything im getting is a upgrade. the only problem is there is some requirement like 2 hard drive 1 ssd and one HHD. and 16gb of ram. but most of them that they sell on new egg are only 8 but i already possed 2 corsair ddr 4 vengence 8 gb ram 3200. im wondering if i can replace them instead of those

muted patio
#

Depends on the PC you're looking at, might not run at 3200 mhz

little osprey
#

HDD and hard drive are the same thing

fossil cedar
#

What's your budget tho

desert gulch
fossil cedar
#

And why sdd and hdd?

little osprey
#

Why do you need 3 hard drives and an ssd

desert gulch
#

Some ppl call hard drive any storage

muted patio
desert gulch
#

Ye

little osprey
#

ok ok but why would you need 4 storage devices

desert gulch
#

Hard Disk Drive

fossil cedar
#

Hdd and hard drive are the same tho

wheat galleon
#

cause he use the SSD to run any heavy loading games and the other HDD is to store the rest

desert gulch
#

Some ppl call ssds and stuff hard drives

#

Ive seen a ton of ppl do it lol

little osprey
#

Yeah you can buy one 500gb ssd and one 2tb hdd

fossil cedar
desert gulch
#

Lol ig

wheat galleon
#

my budget is only 1300 tops everything included taxes and all

little osprey
#

So kappa inc you need a new pc, you already have RAM from your old one?

wheat galleon
#

CAD

#

in us is aobut 1100

desert gulch
#

Ohh ok

fossil cedar
#

Btw don't compare to different regions

desert gulch
#

It's fine

#

What's your tax rate over there?

fossil cedar
#

@wheat galleon what's your tax rate

wheat galleon
fossil cedar
#

As sites don't show tax do they?

desert gulch
#

If they do tax the same way as the states do

fossil cedar
#

I think i heard they do but i can't remember

desert gulch
#

Ye I think ur right

#

Looks like it varies by providence

wheat galleon
#

14.98%

desert gulch
#

Oof

#

Ok

potent portal
wheat galleon
#

had to look it up i was not sure myself

desert gulch
#

So like 1140 cad ish

fossil cedar
#

Hi fal aworryWave

potent portal
#

Hi
And bye again lol

fossil cedar
#

Bye lol

wheat galleon
potent portal
#

Just popped in to see what was going on before I go

#

Spare parts never hurt

desert gulch
#

I think that just means I did better than the original machine that put the engine together lol

muted patio
#

Extra nuts and bolts means you did it right

desert gulch
#

Yup

wheat galleon
desert gulch
#

Could prolly even sell them online for a profit just about tbh

#

With current ddr4 prices

#

Idk when you bought them tho, and what market you bought in

wheat galleon
#

oh from new egg

#

i have the case and everything

#

i dont think i have the receipt still its been a phew years

desert gulch
#

Danga

wheat galleon
#

never really thought of reselling it

#

just was building a pc at the time

desert gulch
#

Ye

wheat galleon
#

im just trying extra hard to find something my nephew just went into vacation and his pc broke so his kinda bumb and im trying to get it as fast as i can x).

desert gulch
#

Yeh I can imagine

wheat galleon
#

is it hard to add storage ?

little osprey
#

No

desert gulch
#

Nah it's a couple cables at most. Super super easy, maybe 5 minutes at most

little osprey
#

The more you do it, the quicker it is

desert gulch
little osprey
#

Could anyone make me a pcpp list for a 1.2k usd budget?

shut blaze
#

Can i have the permit to upload pictures? Or isn't allowed?

little osprey
#

Which is better pre-built pc or buying every part for your pc and building it

muted patio
#

Right now, prebuilt just to get a GPU.

shut blaze
#

@muted patio i found the 360mm

#

So newegf gonna help me with the return and the price

muted patio
#

If you bought it from Newegg contact customer support for a return and/or RMA

shut blaze
#

So u think the 360 artic water cooling will fit on my case and MB?

muted patio
#

Motherboard for sure, IDK about case. I think someone else checked it?

spiral flame
#

my internet started connecting to a Miami server instead of Chicago

wheat galleon
#

thank you everyone for the help i found what i need it !

little osprey
#

Nice

#

This or the Logitech G604?

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

It COULD be useful

fossil cedar
#

No

#

Too many

little osprey
#

I use the scimitar RGB pro mouse

fossil cedar
#

You wont be able to hit each individual with your thumb

little osprey
#

And I use EVERY button on some games

#

For some I don't even use the keyboard

fossil cedar
#

Up to you then

little osprey
#

Can I use the razer RGB with Asus aura sync?

#

Or is Aura ONLY asus

robust lake
#

How is aura only msi

little osprey
#

Sorry, just got rid of my MSI motherboard

robust lake
#

No you cant use it

little osprey
#

Ok

#

Then that just means more software to download

fossil cedar
#

Well tbf chroma is integrated with a fair few thing you might be able to use it

little osprey
#

Ya know....trinity is wireless....

robust lake
#

The mouse might have on board memory

#

So you can just install set a profile and uninstall

that is enough for a gpu

Oh this pc is assuming everything is at marl

whatever your typing this on XD

Can get ya a 3090 system

did you mean 1k$?

mild axle

Lol

muted patio
fossil cedar
#

what country?

muted patio
mild axle
#

Lol

fossil cedar
#

ohh yyikes

#

well idk if theres a pcpp egypt

#

where would you be buying your parts

#

because converting currency doesnt actually translate parts wise

#

theres a newegg in egypt?

#

dont import from the US

#

youll pay a crap tun in imports and shipping

#

not really

#

but prices could be different in egypt

#

like we cant tell

#

really

#

but most likely no

#

what?

#

an xbox/ps will get you a way better gaming experience

#

for the price

muted patio
#

Oh yeah, for $500 PS5 or Xbox

#

Actually, brb

#

I can make it $500

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

Eh

fossil cedar
#

yeah

muted patio
fossil cedar

#

a;sldfjl;asdkjf;alsdkjf;alskjdf

#

$500.79

#

No

#

that's your parts list

#

for a $500 PC

fossil cedar
#

if you lived in US tho

muted patio
#

No buying and selling here

fossil cedar
#

that wont translate well

#

to egypt

muted patio
#

If you want a $500 or less PC, probs have to use Amazon or something

#

Well

#

that's what $500 gets you

#

Not to be rude

fossil cedar
#

its 500$ beggers cant be choosers

still roostBOT
#
the#1355 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

fossil cedar
#

the thing is you cant really becuase parts lists dont really transfer across regions

#

buy from somewhere closer so you dont have to pay an arm and a leg in shipping and import

muted patio
#

Not really

#

PC part prices have gone up

#

If you want a one with a graphics card, 800 is better, $1000 is even better yet

#

Ya, i understand

#

The demand for PC"s and parts has made the prices go up

fossil cedar
#

then get a console for that price

#

unless pc parts are a lot cheaper over there

#

how are we supposed to know that lol

mild axle
mild axle
#

Wdym

fossil cedar
#

why

#

everything

#

you made it worse lol ;-;

mild axle
#

It’s £100 under budget

fossil cedar
# mild axle Wdym

worse case ram cpu, kraken stoopid and any aio is not right in a build like that case is worse

#

and psu is more expensive for worse

mild axle
#

Ok improve it

#

And @ me when ya done

mild axle
#

I prefer ryzen as it provides backwar compatibility

fossil cedar
mild axle
#

Plus I’ve never actually used intel

fossil cedar
#

and backwards compatibility?

#

Intel is the best bang for the buck

#

Intel is also fairly similar build size @mild axle

#

Aye don't be a jerk

mild axle
#

I know @fossil cedar

fossil cedar
mild axle
#

Or forward compatibility

fossil cedar
mild axle
#

Oh ok

fossil cedar
#

Just windows 10 with new look

fossil cedar
# mild axle Oh ok

And even then you'd be better off buying the better bang for the buck now and in 3 years time etc

#

Rather than buying worse now than promise for better cpu

#

Just resign

#

Yup... Redesign of win 10

#

So far anyway

#

Mainly just aesthetic changes

little osprey

I think I f'ed up

New motherboard, Asus Tuf x570 wifi

It's doing this fast flashy (LEDs)thing for my cpu cooler but none of the fans turn on

I had $9 in my bank account

#

@fossil cedar can we do vid chat or something, easier to show then tell

My m.2 is slightly curved and not straight, is this a big deal or no

#

Even if I tighten the screw as little as possible it still is

desert gulch
#

Pic?

#

Oh wait

#

You need the standoff

#

It should have come with the screw you used

muted patio
#

Why channel hop -_-

#

standoff

little osprey
#

Because that was cooling chat

desert gulch
#

Yes standoff

muted patio
#

Should be under end of M.2

desert gulch
#

Yes

#

Should come with your motherboard

#

Check motherboard box

little osprey
#

That’s my issue then, not at my pc atm so I can’t see but I should be able to take off m.2 cover even with gpu on or no?

#

Will I have to take off gpu

desert gulch

Well that’s not too big of an issue

muted patio

Shouldn't have to take off gpu

had it copied already

Oh ok

Just like the motherboard standoffs

Alright when I get home I’ll try and find one in my 600 screws

muted patio

Should be in your motherboard box

#

Under the cardboard tray

In a little plastic baggy

What’s best method for thermal paste on aio

#

Just a thick dot or

desert gulch
muted patio
#

No

desert gulch

I use an X now

#

Oof big sad

muted patio
#

Can't use MB standoff for M/2

#

Different thread size and pitch

desert gulch

Would be nice of they were the same

#

Then ppl who lose m.2 standoff can just pull one off of case lol

little osprey
#

X across the whole thing or small x in the middle

#

Lmao

desert gulch
#

I do thin X across whole cpu

little osprey
#

Hm alright

desert gulch
#

Not quite corner to corner

#

But close

#

Kinda like this

little osprey
#

Wish the arctic freezers had thermal pads already on like some other aios

#

Alright

muted patio
#

Thermal pads?

#

Oh, you mean pre applied paste ya?

little osprey
#

Yes

What is the GitHub rep that will remove activate windows

From my screen

#

Ok

muted patio
#

I have no idea, sorry. Didn't know it was a thing

little osprey
#

Or I can buy a windows key for $10 if I can’t find it or a method to do it

muted patio
#

Ya, Ebay

little osprey
#

I’ll look in a dev

#

There’s sites that are for buying windows keys

#

Or eBay works

#

If I downloaded windows to a usb off windows creation studio or whatever it’s called

#

Will it be 21h1?

#

If so is there any way I can make it a different winver

muted patio
#

Should be the latest version

little osprey
#

Thought so, so is there any way I can use an older version

#

Should be

muted patio
#

Why older version?

little osprey
#

Mapping method I use dosent support 21h1

#

For

#

A type of software or application that’s against discord tos

#

Lol

#

Is all the windows creation tool doing is downloading an iso file? Arnt all the iso files for all the different winvers public and on Microsoft site

#

Or does it download more then that

muted patio
#

It's not an ISO file, it's a bootable UEFI installation disk

little osprey
#

There’s something called “Rufus” im being told

#

May work for it

If you want a Legacy boot, sure

Lol

#

How’s it gonna be different

muted patio
#

not sure Rufus can do GPT which Windows 10 should have. MBR is old, AKA Legacy

How’s it gonna be different from gpt

@visual tundra and it’s 100% in correctly?

visual tundra
#

what do you mean

little osprey
#

Did you put it it

#

In the correct m.2

#

How it should be

#

.....

visual tundra
#

yes i believe so

little osprey
#

Take ssd out and turn off secure boot

#

Then put it back in

#

And boot to os

visual tundra
#

what is os l0l imnew to the pc stuff

little osprey
#

And you say settings? Look in file explorer if the drive is there at all

#

Operating system

#

Windows 10

#

Go in bios

#

For secure boot settings

#

But look in file explorer

#

and see how many drives there are

#

Instead of settings

visual tundra
#

i looked in file explorer i only see apps

little osprey
#

Not sure what u mean by apps

#

But

visual tundra
#

like epic games launcher and uplay

little osprey
#

What

#

No

visual tundra
#

ok ima turn off my pc and take out the ssd and put it back in

little osprey
#

Ok so you don’t know basic computing

#

That’s probably the issue

#

Go in file explorer

#

There will be drives

visual tundra
#

yes

#

then ?

little osprey
#

With letters assigned to them

#

Like C and D drive

#

See how many different ones

#

There are

#

And tell me what they are called

visual tundra
#

thats what i see

#

idk what to click from there

#

@little osprey

desert gulch
#

You need to format the drive

visual tundra
#

ummmm dont knwo what your saying sir sorry i am a bit slow and new to all this

desert gulch
#

Follow these directions

#

When you get a brand new drive you'll have to do this since otherwise you won't be able to use it... Same thing happened when I built my first pc lol, I was stuck in the same place you are

visual tundra
#

i did it what do i do after this

desert gulch
#

You followd all the steps?

#

Then check to see if it's showing up in file explorer now

visual tundra
#

ok

#

i still see the same thing as before

desert gulch
#

That's cause you're on the desktop part

#

Gotta go to "this PC"

visual tundra
#

its there now

desert gulch
#

Yea

visual tundra
#

i think

desert gulch
#

Pog

#

Looks like it

visual tundra
#

ok so now i can begin installing my games that i need space for right

desert gulch
#

Yup

visual tundra
desert gulch
#

Yeah no problem... Enjoy your games man ✌️

visual tundra
#

thank you what games do you play ? wondering

desert gulch
#

Uhh mostly cod warzone and that type of thing

#

Whatever's trending

visual tundra
#

lol ok one more thing

#

what do i do about this 😐

obsidian wigeon
#

uh, get rid of stuff you don't need

desert gulch
#

No

#

Change install location

obsidian wigeon
#

or use the other drive

desert gulch
#

It'll ask where you want to install

visual tundra
#

explain pls

obsidian wigeon
#

you literally have empty one

desert gulch
visual tundra
#

yeah i just got a new ssd

obsidian wigeon
#

nice

visual tundra
#

sn550 1 tb

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah well, install the game again

little osprey
#

Does it give u the option to chose where to install to

obsidian wigeon
#

but this time choose the drive

desert gulch
#

It should ask before you install the game where you want it to go

#

Yeah this time choose the sn550 drive

visual tundra
#

no that just pops up

little osprey
#

Try and go in ur epic games settings and look for something related to install location

visual tundra
#

ok i had to type which drive and now its downloading thank yall

#

seriously yall are big help to newbies like me

#

😆

little osprey
#

Can somebody make me a build list with these conditions: under 900 usd, 144fps fortnite/valorant with LOW SETTINGS, 1080p

little osprey
#

And I don’t have that

#

Or it has disappeared

#

Could the one at the bottom be it

#

Pretty sure that came with aio but

#

...

potent portal
#

The longer ones look like the AIO ones, that short one looks like a standoff

little osprey
#

@potent portal which short one

#

Lmao

#

The tiny little silver screw is the m.2 screw

potent portal
#

The bottom one you pointed out, it's shorter than the other similar looking ones right?

muted patio
#

Needs to be m.2 standoff

#

Silver

little osprey
#

@muted patio that is the m.2 screw

#

@potent portal that ones screw head is too big to come close to fitting into the m.2 hole

potent portal
#

Oh the M.2 standoffs are usually pre-installed

#

Weird if yours wasn't

little osprey
#

The third hole is what I need

#

Well

#

It looks like it is?

#

But ssd is bent if I try to get it on there

potent portal
#

The standoff looks like it's on the 22110 spot

#

Move it over

little osprey
potent portal
#

Turn it counter-clockwise

little osprey
#

It won’t budge

#

I’ll get plyers

#

Still won’t move at all?

potent portal
#

Weird

little osprey
#

I mean all I can do to unscrew it is use my hands correct? Is there a kind of screwdriver that can fit in that hole or

#

That’s my problem

#

Probably

#

Oh

#

Wait

#

Well yea

potent portal
#

Lemme double check your manual

little osprey
#

Looks like some kind of screw driver I’ve never seen in my life

potent portal
#

There's supposed to be another thing to screw into the M.2 hole, it's small

little osprey
#

WAIT

#

I found it

#

Jesus Christ

#

Do I use bigger or smaller one

potent portal
little osprey
#

Just with my hands

#

I’ve been trying for last 5 minutes

#

And can’t get it started

#

Oh just got it

#

Alright thanks

desert gulch
#

Crescent wrench may work

#

Oh wait you got it out

visual tundra
little osprey
#

If I can get a RTX 3070 in a pre build for 1500 dollars is it worth it? 5800x on a Gigabyte x570 Gaming x on it too?

#

Or do I still make my own?

#

With a RTX 2060

little osprey
#

Looks chunky

robust lake
#

Not bad tbh

#

What ram does it have

little osprey
#

Only think I'm concerned about is mobo.

robust lake
#

The aio might be bad tho

#

5800x is hot

little osprey
#

No S/PDIF port :(

#

Yh aio is a cooler master. I think the ram is Corsair air. The specs are not in full.

#

Ddr4

robust lake
#

Oh they dont tell you the mhz and cl?

little osprey
#

No MHz only ddr4

#

I need s/PDIF port for my head set :(

#

I was mainly think for the GPU and CPU but rest of the gear it's not clear

robust lake
#

I mean gpu and cpu alone

#

Are worth 1k atleast

#

Its a good price if you can sell aio and ram

little osprey
#

This is what wanted and can buy for 1500 euros on Amazon,
Aorus x570 Master
5800x
Deep Cool Castle 360EX
GSkill Trident Z 32gb 3600
Samsung Evo Plus NvME 1TB
RMx 850
Corsair 4000d

#

I already own a 2060

fossil cedar
#

@little osprey what country

little osprey
#

Spain. I know everyone recommends an artic freezer but I'd like some RGB so need advice. With the SSD I'll find something else in that case. I guess the speed difference is very small?

little osprey
#

Doesn't appear I can get EK in Spain.

#

I can get galahad. Looks good.

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

@fossil cedar

#

I own the GPU and 2 screens

fossil cedar
#

Or you could do corsair 5000d airflow or p500a

little osprey
#

Nice one. Will look into that bud. Today is buy it day

little osprey
#

Trying to reduce the # of cables and get rid of my Corsair bandwagon

fossil cedar
#

It is but no top mount 360 support

robust lake
#

280 is good too

#

Thats what im using

#

Need a short ram tho

little osprey
#

Or you can do 360 front

robust lake
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

That's what I did

fossil cedar
#

They wanted rgb no 280 galahad

#

360 front is fine but top better

little osprey
#

Once I get better RGB fans, I'll be doing top

#

Tho I might stick with front

cinder field
#

@limpid dagger How you made your case window animated on the video you posted on built pc's;

forest nexus
#

I was wondering if there is anything I should change about this list

#

Will use it mostly for gaming and I’m planning to custom watercool the gpu and cpu

muted patio
snow wasp
#

Has anyone encountered -1% gpu usage?

muted patio
#

Task Manager spoop

#

Tells me I'm using 5% GPu in Cyberpunk 1440p with Ray tracing on

#

Don't trust it

snow wasp
#

Also am I limiting it by running it in x8 as to x16

#

Yea but my whole pc just started lagging

#

I was watching yt and the screen couldn’t keep up with the sound

#

And the refresh on the right just stayed on the screen

fossil cedar
#

Also those fans are very expensive

#

Although your probs already know that

forest nexus
#

yeah

#

budget wise I would like to stay under 3000€

#

what processor do you suggest instead?

#

Also custom loop mainly because I want to

fossil cedar
#

This

#

O11d mini won't have much room for a custom loop

#

If it was non mini or 5000d airflow or something would be way better

forest nexus
#

really?

#

I didn't think it was that small

fossil cedar
#

Yeah the mini is kinda small

#

Also i dislike the o11d

forest nexus
#

I really like the design

fossil cedar
#

It's a mess airflow wise

muted patio
#

Yeah

#

It looks nice but airflow is kinda meh

little osprey
#

It auto scrolls down

forest nexus
#

the thing is I wanted to put this distro plate in it

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

It limits your rad choices

fossil cedar
#

^

muted patio
#

For the compatibility of our distroplate with radiators, please note that only (!) "EKWB SE360 (2x)" & "EKWB SE240 (1x)" can be used.

little osprey
#

Going to switch to the Naga Trinity

fossil cedar
#

Return rma basically same thing

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Best buy

#

Logitech g604

muted patio
#

Depends if you can do two radiators or just one

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

Checking the manual

forest nexus
#

you can fit 1 360 top one 360 bottom and a 240 side

fossil cedar
forest nexus
#

thats quite a bit of rad space

fossil cedar
#

You don't really want a rad on the bottom

#

Having a rad under pumps can be awkward

fossil cedar
forest nexus
muted patio
#

Yeah, when you have to change the fluid you gotta take the rad out to drain it

little osprey
#

I'm not a fan of slim mice

muted patio
#

Or do some other hinky stuff

forest nexus
#

yeah just flip it

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
little osprey
#

It looked slim, unless I'm thinking of some other mouse

fossil cedar
#

502 if you wont a wide boi i guess but 403 is nice medium/large mouse

little osprey
#

I'm used to the Corsair scimitar pro style mouse

#

..OMG I can download fallout TWO

#

😂😂😂😂

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

And fallout 1

#

Let's goooo

#

Entire fallout series for $1 this month

forest nexus
#

draining might be a little bit

fossil cedar
#

And eventually air will get in

forest nexus
#

i just asked in the r/watercooling enthusiasts server and they said it would be fine

#

so im confused now

fossil cedar
#

Well bubbles will just mean less lifespan and more noise usually

muted patio
#

The bubbles will come out but draining the lower rad will be a pita

forest nexus
#

alright

#

sorry i gtg watch football

muted patio
#

You're good, I got to start yard work soon

fossil cedar
#

The case and psu was more of a preference thing

#

As well as not having to pay extra for a sff psu

forest nexus
#

Thanks a lot for the help

fossil cedar
#

Np

forest nexus
#

@fossil cedar Sorry to disturb but that list is like 150€ more expensive so if I get a gpu for like 1000€ that would only leave me with 500€ for water cooling parts which might be a bit tight

#

So I was wondering if I really need to spend that much on the cpu?

fossil cedar
#

It's a fat better cpu

frank stirrup
#

Pato quick while ur here

fossil cedar
#

I would

#

Yeye

frank stirrup
#

psu recommendations for a 3080

fossil cedar
#

Txm i think

forest nexus
#

I’ve looked at some benchmarks and it does not perform that much better that the i7 I had before

frank stirrup
fossil cedar
forest nexus
#

What was wrong with the mobo?

fossil cedar
#

It was an itx board

#

Why

#

In an atx case

forest nexus
#

Save space

fossil cedar
#

It gonna look dinky af

forest nexus
#

Idk

#

I could go Marx

fossil cedar
#

Either get an matx or atx mobo

forest nexus
#

Matx

fossil cedar
#

Also fyi you can't overclock on that cpu

forest nexus
#

Really?

#

I thought it just didn’t have integrated graphics

#

Is there one that is overclockable and doesn’t have integrated graphics?

fossil cedar
forest nexus
#

Ok

fossil cedar
#

But a lot of time regular k can be cheaper/almost same price

#

If it's less than 15€ price it's worth it

little osprey
#

yeah you can overclock K models and models with F do not have iGPU

forest nexus
#

Whats a good Intel matx mobo?

forest nexus
#

So I’ve made a new list

#

This one any better?

#

Also all parts coming from pccomponentes.es will be on a discount starting tomorrow

#

Summer sale

little osprey
#

Will you be able to get a 3080?

#

@forest nexus

forest nexus
#

That’s the only difficulty but

#

But I think I could get one off eBay

little osprey
#

Well I'm doing Newegg shuffle. Might want to look into that as well

little osprey
forest nexus
little osprey
#

Yeah, around $1500

#

1500 USD btw

forest nexus
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

41 bids too

forest nexus
#

But is I save enough with the summer sale I should be fine

little osprey
#

Ends in 8 hours ma dude

forest nexus
#

I know...

little osprey
#

Ok

forest nexus
#

There will be more though

little osprey
#

If you know what you're getting into

#

And if you can afford to bid that high

forest nexus
#

I might also try my luck with newegg shuffle

little osprey
#

Tbh, Nvidia stopped producing their 2000 series too soon

forest nexus
#

The only problem is that they don’t ship to Spain

little osprey
#

Really?

#

Get family member or friend elsewhere to buy it, then ship it to you and pay em back

#

Or ship it to a hotel room across the border lol

forest nexus
#

Haha

#

I think there are like services that do it for quite cheap

little osprey
#

I can't get a laptop delivered to me, so having it sent to a family member, and then I'm going to visit for 4th of July, and grab it then

forest nexus
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

So, why does fallout4 take so long to freaking load

forest nexus
#

If I can get all the other hardware for around 1000€ then I have quite a bit to spend on a gpu

little osprey
#

Another option is used

#

Do local meetups via FB and make sure they show you in person it working

#

That's how I got my Asus Tuf x570 wifi

forest nexus
#

Nice

little osprey
#

All my used parts, I did thru local

#

And great thing about FB is you can barter on prices. Can't really do that thru ebay

#

I'm about to put my 780ti on FB for local myself

fossil cedar
forest nexus
#

Oh

forest nexus
#

It’s kinda ugly...

#

Is there one in black

#

Also 2 ram sticks

#

What about the z490 G?

fossil cedar
#

Yeah it's better than 4

forest nexus
#

Really?

fossil cedar
#

I'd do this then

fossil cedar
#

And leaves room for upgrade

forest nexus
#

I don’t see why I would need to upgrade from 32 gigs

#

Also 4 sticks looks miles better

fossil cedar
#

It's also the same price for slower ram tho

#

The ram i have is 3600

#

Not 3200

forest nexus
#

Yeah I saw

#

Alright

#

What if I get 2 2x8 kits?

fossil cedar
#

2x16 still faster

#

You want rgb yeah?

forest nexus
#

Yeah

fossil cedar
#

There's not really any good kits for much cheaper

forest nexus
#

Looks are important

fossil cedar
#

Theres no good rgb 32gb kits for cheaper really

forest nexus
#

Alright

#

I accept defeat

fossil cedar
#

Sorry lol

forest nexus
#

Nono that’s ok

#

I’m trying to do something similar to this build

fossil cedar
forest nexus
#

This one

#

Sorry it was taking aeons to upload

fossil cedar
#

Nb lok

#

I see

forest nexus
#

I think 2 sticks of ram would look wierd...

fossil cedar
#

It doesn't lol dw

forest nexus
#

Sorry, what’s de?

#

Dw

robust lake
#

Dont worry

forest nexus
#

Oh ok

fossil cedar
#

2 sticks looks fine lol

forest nexus
#

Yeah it’s fine

little osprey
#

Here's mine

#

The fans will be replaced eventually

desert gulch
fossil cedar
desert gulch
#

Here's mine

fossil cedar
#

If you really want 4 sticks

fossil cedar
desert gulch
#

It's a Phanteks p400 eclipse I think it's called

forest nexus
#

Looks good

#

The rgb is nowhere near as good as Corsair or g skill

#

But it’s fine

#

And cheap

fossil cedar
forest nexus
#

Also could I change the mobo to the z490 G

#

I could get it for a bit cheaper

fossil cedar
#

Z490g?

#

Who makes?

forest nexus
#

asus

fossil cedar
#

Itx board will look weird af in there but if you want to

forest nexus
