[wicked frigate]

Now what

[muted patio]

Uh i doubt that old hardware is supported in windows 10

Definitely no drivers

For 10 and most likely 8

[wicked frigate]

I have the 1050ti drivers done so far I think

Cause when I check for updates it says I am up to date

[fossil cedar]

Download cpu z

[wicked frigate]

?????

[fossil cedar]

Easiest way to check

It's for checking your cpu and motherboard

[wicked frigate]

Ok wait

Me can u tell which drivers I need to install

[fossil cedar]

I'm trying to see what hardware you have first

[hidden cradle]

I am trying to install my motherboard and there is space inbetween the place on the motherboard where you plug stuff in like is a and hdmi and the io shield I think it’s called

[wicked frigate]

Ok

It’s downloading I think

Can I run games without drivers????

[fossil cedar]

Then it's not mounted correctly, the ports should be right up against the io shield

[fossil cedar]

Yes but it's not a great experience

[wicked frigate]

@fossil cedar how do I intakal this thing

[fossil cedar]

Just like any other program

Run, next next etc

[wicked frigate]

?????

Ok I think I got it

That

@fossil cedar there ya go

[fossil cedar]

Can you go to the mainboard tab too

And check your chipet

[wicked frigate]

Ok wait

Hope I didn’t leak anything personal

[fossil cedar]

Nope

Okay

Lemme see if there even is drivers for these

[wicked frigate]

Alright

[fossil cedar]

https://www.amd.com/en/support the automatic download thing will probs give you your best shot

[wicked frigate]

Alright

What else

Any wireless drivers

Ethernet

WiFi

Cause I keep have it this problem

Now it says dns severs couldn’t be found lol

@fossil cedar any mobo

How is my Ethernet speed 1Gbps

And my wifi 43.2 Mbps

When my plan is 100mbps

[fossil cedar]

Download your WiFi drivers

But idk tbh i sleep now

[wicked frigate]

How do I check which ones I need to install

[mossy flower]

Is 650w enough for 3060ti

[desert gulch]

what cpu?

[mossy flower]

Ryzen 5 3600x

[desert gulch]

yeah a 650 is great

[mossy flower]

Any psu’s you suggest

Cause i keep being told the s12iii is bad even tho i was told it was trustworthy IN THE SAME SERVER

[desert gulch]

phanteks amp is p good

idk pricing on it rn

lemme check

id get this tbh

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-cx-series-cx650-650w/p/N82E16817139200?Item=N82E16817139200&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-oxPwFcCiElkNuDKuLWjyPA

pretty good psu and for a decent price rn

[desert gulch]

it is bad

[mossy flower]

Ok

[desert gulch]

it would prolly work but it is not a great psu by any means

[little osprey]

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-tg01-1160xt-8mp64av-1?jumpid=ma_hp-gaming_product-tile_desktops_16_8mp64av-1_hp-pavilion-gaming-d Would this pc be worth it to buy since the GPU market is horrendous rn?

[shrewd fjord]

@little osprey gpu market is slowly coming back down so I am waiting . But I have heard some great things about the HP pavilion so if you are in need of a pc right now and with a budget of around $800 I would say yes get it. Although you should upgrade the RAM to 16 GB

[little osprey]

@shrewd fjord OK thank you. If I were to build a PC and wait for the market, this is my current build list without the GPU. What GPU should I look into if I want to get 165+ fps in fortnite and valorant with 1080p and LOW-MED settings https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FyRrbh

[deft harbor]

should i get a laptop or a prebuilt

[desert gulch]

do you want performance or portibility?

[deft harbor]

preformance

[desert gulch]

then get a prebuilt

[shut blaze]

finally my pc is alive!!!

[visual tundra]

give me a good non xlr mic recommendation

Please my mic is trash

[little osprey]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/133795488685?epid=2315640392&hash=item1f26d523ad:g:UvkAAOSwpLtg0PPB SHould I bid lol?

[desert gulch]

i mean if you want

itll be over 600 by the time its over tho

easily

its only been up for an hour

[muted patio]

6 days left already $200

It'll go up pretty high

[deft harbor]

so should i get a prebuilt like ibuypower or someone like that

[visual tundra]

any good non xlr mic

???

[little osprey]

Oh your right lol it just went up

[muted patio]

Like a mic on a stand or one that goes on your headset?

[visual tundra]

mic

the ones with like little llegs i dont want a xlr obe

[muted patio]

yeah, do you want one like a Blue Yeti? Or one you can add to your headset that's like a boom mic?

[snow wasp]

Yo guys any 11th gen cpu for less than 200?

[muted patio]

11400 should be but it's out of stock

MSRP is 189

Oh wait

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/intel-core-i5-11400-11th-generation-6-core-12-thread-2-6-to-4-4-ghz-lga1200-locked-desktop-processor/6452218.p?skuId=6452218

[snow wasp]

How’s this compare to 10600k

Aside from the pcie gen4 support I believe

[deft harbor]

hey guys should i get a prebuilt that one of those custome prebuilt make

[muted patio]

Faster single and multicore

Basically faster overall

[desert gulch]

just not able to be overclocked

[snow wasp]

Which one would u guys get?

10600k-$170

[muted patio]

11400K

[snow wasp]

11400-$189

10600k is on sale rn for prime day

That y xD

[desert gulch]

id get 11400 if it were me

20 bucks more but you have a better gaming cpu

and better igpu

slightly

[muted patio]

ON a aB560 motherboard

[snow wasp]

Ight thanks

Ik

My dude was getting a msi z490….

I was like

[still roost]

NoAngelol#1234 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[snow wasp]

Oof

My bad

I was like get that thing out ASAP lol

[muted patio]

Z490 requires BIOS update to run 11th gen

Probs wouldn't even work XD

[little osprey]

Actually 10700k is on big sale on Amazon

Oh and another great deal just in case if someone didn't seen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087QRVVVH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_JJB86HFJN7GF7YJQA858?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[obsidian wigeon]

10700k isn't as cheap as 11400 tho

[little osprey]

Yeah 11400is 190 and 10700k is 247 now

I bought it for 340 early times

[visual tundra]

i have a headset i just need a mic

[obsidian wigeon]

Eh, not bad

5600X is 299 msrp

[visual tundra]

a blue yeti like that or a stand fifine

[obsidian wigeon]

But you get 8 core for about 40 more

[little osprey]

11400 is almost catching 5600x on gaming

[obsidian wigeon]

Eh just a few fps different

It's basically margin of error

For games 5600X is bleh value

299 compared to 180-190 of 11400

[little osprey]

Yeah 11400 is definitely winner

I having 10700k couse I need some performance but for gaming 11400 is a great deal

[obsidian wigeon]

I think 10700k is better value than 5600x especially now

lga 1200 and am4 are destined ded anyway before next gen comes

ddr5 age's gonna start

[little osprey]

Yeah

10700k is permorms great on cad systems that's why I love it

[obsidian wigeon]

The ryzen advantage basically vanished with the demise of ddr4 coming

Unless you aim for higher end I suppose

Like a 5900X

Intel's high end that isn't hedt is still 8c, what a shame

[desert gulch]

yeah im thinking of selling my whole pc before gpu market is over so i can buy next gen stuff lol

[visual tundra]

a mic please recommendation

[visual tundra]

???

[stoic island]

samson q2u

fifine ok too

[urban trellis]

anyone know why when i launch davinci resolve it turns off my pc and while editing but it never happens while rendering. any potential fixes appreciated

[fading oyster]

is this a good build??

[stoic island]

ehm

no?

[fading oyster]

what do i fix

[stoic island]

gpu price way too high, aio bad, board being near the price of the chip is interesting, ssd bad, a bit low on storage space, case bad, could get better psu for the price

[fading oyster]

well im just keeping the gpu there as a placeholder

wait so the board should be more expensive than the cpu?

[stoic island]

less

[fading oyster]

ohh

i see

[stoic island]

but z490 board pricing is sad nowadays so... meh?

[fading oyster]

most of it is placeholder

[stoic island]

also

[fading oyster]

any psu's you can recommend?

[stoic island]

just link the list lol

[fading oyster]

oh i didn't kno u could do that

im new at this

[scarlet rampart]

😑

[fading oyster]

the pc im using rn is a prebuilt

[stoic island]

just copy and paste this link

[fading oyster]

can u recommend a psu and an aio i dont really know which ones are good

[stoic island]

if you really have to go aio, freezer ii, if not, fuma 2 will work fine

psu wise, grab a msi a-gf 750w, or a phanteks amp 750w, or a revolution d.f. 750w

[fading oyster]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YNdrxr/phanteks-eclipse-p360a-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-ec360atg_dwt

is that a good case?

[stoic island]

yea

p360a is nice

[fading oyster]

what's a good ssd that's only 500 gb

[muted patio]

Crucial MX500, hynix S31 is $45 right now prime day. Snag it

https://smile.amazon.com/SK-hynix-Gold-500GB-Internal/dp/B07SK5BNM1

[stoic island]

why only 500gb?

I'd grab 1tb

[fading oyster]

i don't really use that much space

i have 500 gb rn and it's perfect

still got 50 gb left

[stoic island]

I would really recommend you start with 1tb

you'll want some free space on your drive

[fading oyster]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Cj6W3

alright i finished

is it good?

[stoic island]

uhhhhh

h470 sucks

rest of it good enough

[fast dust]

im looking for new fans for my AIO as the ones i have now arent very good for an AIO, would Sickleflow 120 V2's work or should I spend $20 more and get MF120R's?

[fading oyster]

what motherboard should i get

[stoic island]

do you want to OC or no

[fading oyster]

what is OC?

oh no i don't

[fast dust]

Overclock

[stoic island]

p12 rgb

[fast dust]

shove some volts into it and it perform better basically

lol

[fast dust]

omg u right

[fading oyster]

no thank u

[fast dust]

i totally forgot about them

[stoic island]

then grab like a b560m bazooka

[fast dust]

if youre a prime member you can get a 1TB BX500 for $65 or a 1TB P2 for $75, better value for storage

[stoic island]

ahem

[fading oyster]

i could but im not ordering parts today i dont have the money yet

[stoic island]

b in bx500 stands for bad

[fast dust]

lol

but like its $65

[muted patio]

BX500 garbo

[fading oyster]

i was thinking of selling my pc rn

and waiting till prices go down to buy a new one

[shrewd fjord]

@fading oyster smart you can get more money for your pc now even tho it's used because of the market

So sell is now while prices for GPU are high and save money for when market settles down then you can get OP pc

[potent portal]

Well by the end of the year the next gen will start coming out for processors and motherboards, which means last (current) gen stuff will, in theory, drop in price. DDR5 is coming too but that'll be a weird launch.

[shrewd fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wcZVvf

I just made this tell me what I need to fix

@stoic island @muted patio
Can u guys help me with this build
^^

[stoic island]

well, 3600 right now is not a good value at all

[stoic island]

lets start off with what it's meant for

[shrewd fjord]

1080P gaming medium to high settings and btw I am not buying this rn

I will get when market calms down

[stoic island]

so

@shrewd fjord 11400 is just better value than 3600, and it seems that will hold for the next few months

next, aio is just kinda unnecessary for a chip that draws as little power as a 3600

[shrewd fjord]

I am planning on getting this in like 3 months probably

So I should still change the 3600

[stoic island]

Yea

11400 with a b560 board will do well

[shrewd fjord]

Ok will do. Anything else?

[stoic island]

ram, well, ballistix 3600c16 with rgb is 110$, you can go cheaper too

storage wise, 1tb hdd just doesn't make sense

consider for like 20$ more, you get good 2tb drives

sn550 from lenovo is actually out of stock, so I would put down a pilot e for now

[shrewd fjord]

Do you think you could change this stuff for me xd I am having trouble keeping up

[stoic island]

PSU wise, I'd just grab a MSI A-gf, slightly better, cheaper right now

yeye

ick I forgot how 11400 price went way up too for some reason

[shrewd fjord]

I do say this is probably better than the first build I ever made

[stoic island]

10400 it is then

[shrewd fjord]

Its okay man I wont get this for awhile

Do the 11400 if it has a noticeable difference

[stoic island]

I'll leave the gpu empty for later
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nQztDc

probably 3050ti if possible, that should theoretically come out in a few months

but if not, 2060/3060

[shrewd fjord]

I've heard so many times that AMD has better CPU for gaming is this intel going to be good?

[potent portal]

Intel is good on the low/mid end for price/performance, AMD is just better performance

[shrewd fjord]

I see

Most videos I watch always use a AMD cpu that's why I was asking

[stoic island]

well

here's the thing

Intel 10th gen and 11th gen outperform zen 2 for gaming

but zen 3 outperforms both

[shrewd fjord]

I see is there a huge price gap

[stoic island]

In a gaming performance general benchmark, it goes 5600x > 11400 > 10400 > 3600

considering MSRP prices goes something like 300$ - 190$ - 180$ - 200$, I think there's a clear winner

[shrewd fjord]

Mmmm so the 10400 will be fine

[stoic island]

11400 is a bit better

I would grab 11400 when possible

it's just out of stock at the normal msrp atm

[shrewd fjord]

Ok so here I am not wanting to build this right now so... can you try and make an entire list even if it's not available right now?

[stoic island]

that's like the only change

plus a 3060 in the list basically

[shrewd fjord]

And I would prefer a liquid cooler if possible in case I upgrade later on. Or is that not good idea

[stoic island]

this kinda thing
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZV3rbh

[stoic island]

nah

I'd just buy it when you need it

you could go futureproof on the air cooler tho

[shrewd fjord]

How so

[stoic island]

grab a fuma 2 and that'll be good for most consumer chip on the market for non-ocing

well

except like 5950x and 11900k kinda thing, but you kinda expect that with a 60$ cooler

[shrewd fjord]

Right. So I should make it a what, fuma 2?

[desert gulch]

Throwback to the time I almost bought a dark rock pro 4 for my 3600

Cuz it was on sale for $70

Lel

[desert gulch]

If you plan to upgrade the cpu at some point

Only if you plan to upgrade to a 10th or 11th gen chip someday tho

[stoic island]

fuma 2 is good for now

[desert gulch]

Mr1

[stoic island]

but se-224-xt will do fine for now too

[desert gulch]

But how likely is it that they will upgrade cpu

I doubt they will

So I'd go se224

[stoic island]

mhm

[desert gulch]

Since next gen Intel will be on different socket, and fuma 2 won't work on that

[stoic island]

since the next most likely upgrade will include socket change

[desert gulch]

Ye

[shrewd fjord]

Am confused xd

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ddCNbh

[desert gulch]

Ok

So basically

Do you plan on upgrading to like an i7 or i9 of the 11th gen Intel someday?

Or 10th gen Intel?

[shrewd fjord]

Not for long time

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kQ7Kt8 so I should do this?

[desert gulch]

If you plan on upgrading using the same Mobo, meaning 11th or 10th gen, keep the fuma 2

If you plan on getting a new Mobo next time you upgrade, go with the se224xt

[shrewd fjord]

So the list I just gave is good then since I wont upgrade for long time

[desert gulch]

Yeah

Also if you don't care about color of that se224xt you can save 5 bucks by going with the gray one

Up to you tho

[shrewd fjord]

Awsome thank you both so much. Now time to wait until I get done rebuilding my truck

And I like the black one but thanks

[desert gulch]

Lol what truck you got?

Ye np

[shrewd fjord]

1984 Chevy k20 custom deluxe

[desert gulch]

Ooh a nice one

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah. Doing a frame off on it.

[desert gulch]

Is it in pretty bad condition?

[shrewd fjord]

It was yes

[desert gulch]

Fun

Im done doing truck restoration for a while

[shrewd fjord]

I stripped it down to the frame and my dad and I are working our way up

[desert gulch]

Nice

[shrewd fjord]

What did you resore

[desert gulch]

I had a 2008 Duramax

Had to put new engine and transfer case in it

[shrewd fjord]

Oh nice expensive too

[desert gulch]

Previous owners locked up engine somehow

Yea

[shrewd fjord]

They locked it up wow

[desert gulch]

I heard they may have put gas in it but idk if that's true

[shrewd fjord]

Must have run it hard

[desert gulch]

Maybe

Atleast the transmission held up well

Those old Allison's are meaty

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah I've already put about 3k into my truck. I am working my ass off this summer make another 10k

[desert gulch]

Nice

[shrewd fjord]

16 years old and I'm working 2 jobs trying to save up

[desert gulch]

I wanna get a square body someday lol

[shrewd fjord]

They are beautiful

[desert gulch]

They just look so nice

Might do a Duramax swap on one someday

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah especially if you jack em up

[desert gulch]

Yuh

[shrewd fjord]

Wouldn't recommend a duramax swap on one. Well depends on the truck I suppose

[desert gulch]

Yeah

Would be fun to have a huge diesel in one

Yeah but now I'm running with a little Nissan pickup and a minty 3500hd duramax

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah. I was going to make mine a diesel but I did some research and the diesel engines in this year of truck did not last long

[desert gulch]

Gotta love the grandpa trucks

[shrewd fjord]

Haha yeah

[desert gulch]

46k on my 3500hd

2010

[shrewd fjord]

I'm driving a 5 speed dodge caliber for the moment....

[desert gulch]

Lol nice

I am going to sue someone at Chevy tmrw prolly lol

[shrewd fjord]

Daymmm only 46k how long you been driving it

[desert gulch]

Headlights on the 2010 are a pita

Just got it last week

[shrewd fjord]

😳

[desert gulch]

Gotta pull the whole front end apart to get the headlights out lol

[shrewd fjord]

Sad

[desert gulch]

My grandpa has a 2003 and the headlights literally hinge out so you can replace the bulbs easily

[shrewd fjord]

Oh I wish

Headlights seem easy but sometimes they can be a pain

[desert gulch]

Yea

Looks pretty mint tho ngl

[shrewd fjord]

Hell yeah it does

[desert gulch]

Almost completely stock

And I'm gonna leave it like that probably

Hasn't had a thing done to the engine

Other than oil and that stuff

[leaden mantle]

How much do u guys think i could sell a prebuilt with 2080 Super and i7 10700k for?

[shrewd fjord]

Those are the seats I want

[desert gulch]

Dangggg those seats look insane

[desert gulch]

1500

Easily

[shrewd fjord]

Not mine yet. But I will do something like that

[leaden mantle]

on ebay or wa?

[desert gulch]

Fb marketplace is my go-to selling place

[shrewd fjord]

@leaden mantle I'll give you 500 for it lmao jk jk

[desert gulch]

Lol

Gpu alone is twice that rn lol

[shrewd fjord]

Ik lol

I was being a smart ass

[desert gulch]

Yes

[leaden mantle]

Well look i found it on fb market place lol and i think i can negotiate it down to like 1300, u think i could sell it off for a profit in like 6 months?

[shrewd fjord]

I am good at that

[desert gulch]

Well, imma head out, cya around

[shrewd fjord]

Alr man cya

[jade spindle]

hi hello trying to build my first pc and i managed to get ahold of a ryzen 5900x at msrp. any suggestions on MOBO? i was leaning towards a strix x570-E but im not sure if it's overkill or if it's good? the crosshair dark hero seems like overkill but i kinda wanna future proof for at least 5-8 years. im worried that i wont get a MOBO that'll do the cpu justice since it was so hard to find lmao

[tight sorrel]

lot of people on here will advise you to get a B550 board

[potent portal]

Dark Hero is totally overkill unless you're doing liquid nitrogen or something

Yep B550 tends to be better VRM design

[tight sorrel]

if you really set on X570, I can recommend the MSI Tomahawk.

[jade spindle]

oohh sick the b550 are cheaper too

is the strix b550 gaming good?

[potent portal]

Yep and 99% of people don't need the extra features from X570 tbh

[tight sorrel]

yup

strix, MSI Mag, Gigabyte Aorus

[still roost]

Prince_Locke#0031 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[potent portal]

MSI B550 A-Pro and Gaming Plus are good too

[jade spindle]

oop i got word blocked soz weggbot

[chrome rampart]

Is the Newegg warranty worth it on gpu?

[potent portal]

Depends, which GPU? Some manufacturer warranties are BAD.

Then there's ones that have like, lifetime warranties

[chrome rampart]

Powercolor 6700 XT hellhound spectral white

[jade spindle]

(also sidenote im kinda worried about the overheating rumors with the 5900x so should i go AIO? If so do y'all have a suggestion on what one?)

[potent portal]

Arctic Liquid Freezer II

360mm

[tight sorrel]

yea, always AIO. 240mm at least. Lian Li, EK, Arctic

[jade spindle]

wig y'all are awesome thank you!!

[potent portal]

If you can't get the 360mm then the 280mm is probably plenty still unless you overclock heavily.

[chrome rampart]

I have a 5800x with 360mm AIO

[potent portal]

240mm is good for that if it's a good one (I have one)

[jade spindle]

sick okay im probably gonna go 360mm just to be safe 😭 thanks y'all!

[potent portal]

360 is overkill but future proof

[potent portal]

Powercolor only has a 1 or 2 year warranty, IDK which it is because it says both

[tight sorrel]

You got an amazing processor there. Happy trails!

[jade spindle]

thanks!!!

[potent portal]

Ah it's 2 years. I'd get the extended warranty personally if I planned on keeping it longer than that.

[little osprey]

Build time.

[fossil cedar]

Another advantage of b550 over x570 is no annoying wizzy fan for the chipset

[little osprey]

Do i need to flash my bios for using 5800x on a rog strix B550?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah most likely

[little osprey]

before or after build?

Lets gooooo!!!!!

[fossil cedar]

Either or tbh

I'd do now just to make sure it all works

[earnest olive]

less of a hassle to do it before

might as well

[little osprey]

is that 2700x?

[fossil cedar]

Thats a 5800x

[little osprey]

.

bruh

can someone also help me with this build? is it trash pls give rating

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/CwCNbh

[fossil cedar]

Well intel is the bang for buck budget cpu rn

You need an ssd

That gpu is way too overpriced

And the case is finnneeeee but it's a mess airflow wise

[fossil cedar]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/8LqGZZ

[little osprey]

thanks, what would you rate other one

This Galahad 360 is very nice.

[fossil cedar]

Nice

[fossil cedar]

Sure

[little osprey]

Ok guys its help time.

PC is up and running and im in BiOs. I have my windows media instal disk inserted but PC is not finding it? I am using a Rog Strix B550 any help or changes to BiOs??

[tight sorrel]

look for boot seqeunce settings and set USB as one of them

[tight sorrel]

that looks right

[little osprey]

with USB in everytime ut just loads Bios straightaway

[tight sorrel]

hmm.. thats very odd

[little osprey]

I'll download windows again.

Do I need to change any setting in the boot menu?

[tight sorrel]

doesnt look like it. remember downloading the tool from microsoft is one things, making the boot drive is somehting else

[little osprey]

Oh I'm an expert now haha.

[tight sorrel]

wait, why did you set your OS type as "Other"?

also, disable fastboot

for now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiqtpKQZPSo

[little osprey]

Nice. Cheers bud. Come to think of it I think I actually have not got window on this drive. I'm just glad it loaded.

[tight sorrel]

😆 👍

[little osprey]

Must say so far very happy with this build. The case is solid!

[tight sorrel]

nicely done!

[little osprey]

So now. Once windows is installed. Which drivers etc do I need to download and is the a better order to do them?

[tight sorrel]

I would do motherboard first, then GPU

there should be a download section on your motherboard website page

then last of all do any RGB software you want

[little osprey]

Nice. Cheers bud.

[tight sorrel]

Motherboards usually have a number of drivers (chipset/audio/networking etc)

just get the latest of each

[glossy venture]

Hey, so I built my pc recently without a gpu and without integrated graphics. It’s pretty much useless rn but it still turns on lol. I was wondering if this is bad for the lifespan of my pc as the parts are not in the box and I don’t leave it on for long periods of time. I only turn it on occasionally to see if there are any problems.

[frank stirrup]

wouldnt get em from there

usually are outdated

get em from manufacturer of the device

[frank stirrup]

What is gonna go wrong if you havent done anything to change anything?

[tight sorrel]

1. No wont damage your system.
2. How would you know if everything is ok without a screen? Does your system have a post code display?

[frank stirrup]

im betting he goes according to fan spin

[tight sorrel]

ah, got a "fan whisperer" in our midst? cool

[meager badge]

Finished my new build finally, just got it back home from assembling the pieces. It has one huge pro 😄 If any burglars hit my home, unless they have a heavy lifter with them, there is no way they can take it 😂

Of course, it still lacks a latest series GPU

[leaden oriole]

Hey can anybody help me?

[muted patio]

Ask your question, don't ask to ask

[leaden oriole]

I got a brand new graphics card and I’m building a pc

It’s a GeForce GTX 1650 super

This bad boy right here

I was trying to use pcpartpicker to figure out compatibility but it won’t tell me

I need to know what I can use to figure out what the best parts I can get with it are

[muted patio]

GPU is going to limit whatever you have anyway so post your budget you have left for other parts and ask for a list.

[leaden oriole]

Let’s say 1500

Wdym ask for a list?

[muted patio]

For example https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pNGrbh

[leaden oriole]

So you’re saying all that will work?

[muted patio]

Your GPU is going to limit whatever parts you get for $1500

so plan on a GPU upgrade in the future

to match the rest of the parts

[leaden oriole]

That was definitely the plan

So what youre saying is it will work but it’s optimized for a future upgrade?

[muted patio]

1650 will be the performance limiting factor

So get good stuff for everything else and upgrade it later

[leaden oriole]

Okay that makes sense

So what games do you think I can run on a rig like this?

It’ll be awhile before I can afford another gpu

[muted patio]

Should be able to run just about anything 1080p low-med settings with a 1650 super

[leaden oriole]

That’s good

I think

Any compatibility issues I should@be aware of?

[little osprey]

Hey guys. I cannot download LAN, wireless, bluetooth from RoGs website? Says does not support 64bit???

[leaden oriole]

And what graphics card should I save up for?

[muted patio]

What resolution do you plan to game at and refresh rate?

[muted patio]

Make sure you chose WIndows 10 64 bit from the drop down menu

[little osprey]

Did that bud. It downloads but when I click run it doesn't run the software

[leaden oriole]

Honestly idk I’ve never played on pc. Um, about where an Xbox series x would be at?

[muted patio]

What monitor do you plan on getting?

[leaden oriole]

Rn I just have an lcd

[muted patio]

what resolution

[leaden oriole]

It runs at about 1080 max I believe

Yup 1080p 60Hz

[muted patio]

Ah, do you plan on upgrading? 1440p monitor is 200-300

[leaden oriole]

In the future yes

But not now

[muted patio]

Still, I'd shoot for a 3060TI or 3070 down the road when things stabilize

and get a new monitor then

1080p 60 is good for a 1650 Super

[leaden oriole]

Awesome

So I’m all set to buy those parts?

[muted patio]

Which exact drivers, link me to where you're downloading from

[muted patio]

That was just an example, let me fine tune it for a $1500 budget

[leaden oriole]

Oh ok. I would prefer performance over budget for at least another hundred over

[muted patio]

Ya, no need to spend more TBH

[robust lake]

1500 without gpu is alot

You can probably get in 2tb ssd and 32g ram too

[muted patio]

List hjas that

Fine tuning now

[leaden oriole]

I don’t need 32 gn of Ram do I?

[robust lake]

16 is enough

For gaming

[leaden oriole]

What would you need 32 for?

[muted patio]

Future use

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M7WNbh

[eager heart]

nice list

[leaden oriole]

Dang

That’s a good pc right?

[muted patio]

Oh yah

[leaden oriole]

What’s ssd again?

Sorry I know I sound a bit dumb I’ve played on consoles my whole life

[little osprey]

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-wi-fi-model/helpdesk_download

This link bud

my window 10 is not activated will that matter

[muted patio]

What is the exact error message, those should work activated or not

[muted patio]

Use the other setup.exe

Not the ASUS one

[little osprey]

This is all I have bud

Can I download the LAN direct from intel website?

From this website I have only been able to download software and utility and chipsets

[hallow glen]

It's space in your computer for downloading things

Very fast

[little osprey]

I still cannot seem to download drivers from ROG website 😦

My bios is latest version

what drivers do i need before doing my gpu etc_

[muted patio]

You didnt extract them first?

Just opened the zip file?

Gotta extract the zip

[little osprey]

i just opened it

[muted patio]

Right click extract the zip folder

[little osprey]

thank you its working now. So i dont need VGA right as i have a GPU?

[little osprey]

nice

[leaden oriole]

Thank you:)

[little osprey]

🙂

Ok so now all built. Drivers downloaded and Nvidia experience downloaded. Can i now use HDMI on my screen (currently using DVI) and i another monitor can i add that too via HDMI? Anything else i may need to do to make this build finished? Thanks guys

[muted patio]

Should be good

Plug in anything you want to the gpu

[cold sorrel]

I've got a DisplayPort cable on the way for my new rig, but using HDMI until then.

[round stream]

display port is better?

[hallow glen]

K so I put a new build on pcpartpicker for if I do get a card. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FireDestroyer53/saved/ is it good?

[stoic island]

which one

[hallow glen]

The one that's says if I get a card

Lol

[stoic island]

you already have half of the things?

[hallow glen]

No.

BB gift card

[stoic island]

would prob change ssd/psu choice then depending on what bb has

they're not bad, just could be better, and/or cheaper

[hallow glen]

Those are the best that are there they have bad selection

[stoic island]

local bb?

[hallow glen]

No website

[stoic island]

oh I forgot how bad bb is

wait

[hallow glen]

I got help from pato and eats food

[stoic island]

a-gf
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-mpg-a750gf-750w-atx-80-plus-gold-psu-power-supply-black/6447783.p?skuId=6447783

better psu, good price.

[hallow glen]

Kk

[stoic island]

sn750 1tb decent price, I can check other drive pricing too
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/6338995.p

[hallow glen]

K everything is changed on all lists

Actually

Maybe I should add that as well

[stoic island]

bb drives suck

[hallow glen]

When I get back on my comp I will

[stoic island]

much sad

everything else is fine now

[hallow glen]

Kk

[hallow glen]

How much better is it compared to the SSD I have in rn? Or is it cheaper

[stoic island]

it's nvme, a only barely better in terms of real world perf, but a lot higher seq perf for whenever you do that

[hallow glen]

Kk

[earnest olive]

MuSt BuY gEn 4 FoR bIg NuMbEr

[stoic island]

we be talking nvme vs sata but yas

[earnest olive]

i haven't benchmarked my gen 4 drive yet

too busy overclocking ram

after 4 days the end is finally in sight

[stoic island]

and then you'll find out some random thing is making all of it unstable >:D

[earnest olive]

pls no

im testing every single change i make with full tm5

[stoic island]

hehe

[earnest olive]

the replacement motherboard and missing cooler cable are arriving soon

i just wanna finish this build

[stoic island]

heh

I bless it with my luck of not being doa

[hallow glen]

What is the build? Is it a job or personal

[earnest olive]

personal

[hallow glen]

Specs?

[earnest olive]

what happens when i find too many good deals to resist

[desert gulch]

how did you get a 6tb hdd for free?

[earnest olive]

my friend gave it to me

[hallow glen]

That's a great build for 1900

[earnest olive]

he has an IT job and his boss retired a NAS full of 6tb hdds after only one year to upgrade them all to 16tb

[desert gulch]

dang i need friends like that lol

[earnest olive]

so he let my friend keep all of the hard drives

and there were like 10 of them

[desert gulch]

damn

[earnest olive]

so he gave away 5 to our friend group

[desert gulch]

was there not a fear of any data left on them?

[earnest olive]

dunno what he did to the rest probably sold them

[hallow glen]

Chia miners be like

[earnest olive]

idk he and his boss are drinking buddies

but yeah most of the stuff i bought is like

[desert gulch]

nice

[earnest olive]

30-50% off of their actual value

[weak scarab]

random question will disabling windows 10s make it run slower

[stoic island]

?

[weak scarab]

Going to windows 10s to windows 10 home ig

[desert gulch]

Do you know what windows 10s is?

It's like a streamlined more basic windows

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/03/windows-10-s-microsoft-faster-pc-comparison

[stoic island]

I'm looking at what it does other than restrict

[desert gulch]

Here's an explanation on it

Ok

[stoic island]

because I thought all it did was restrict some things, therefore no impact on performance

huh

Windows 10 S won’t allow any access to command line environments or tools. You can’t launch either the Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell environment.

looks like the only real difference is still restricting things

should not affect performance

[weak scarab]

Ok cool thx

[earnest olive]

windows for babies huh

[desert gulch]

Yeah it's like chrome os lol

[ripe sonnet]

would this be where one could get a little help with troubleshooting a troublesome new build?

[earnest olive]

sure

just ask your question

[ripe sonnet]

i'm building my brother a new pc with these parts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3txXwz and it's having trouble once i put everything in and connect everything, but specifically the front panel drgb connector. without it, it starts up and posts just fine and the rgb works and all so idk what i'm doing wrong. the vetroo v5 drgb is connected just fine. it's just the case rgb that is having an issue.

i haven't built anything that used these connectors before. with the case drgb connected to the mobo, fans will spin, but it'll loop restart, flashing the lights and i hear what seems to be clicking from the psu so i assume there's some kinda protection thing kicking in

[muted patio]

Is the case rgb with a 4 pin connector or 3 pins?

[ripe sonnet]

3 pin

[earnest olive]

huh..

[muted patio]

Ya

[earnest olive]

RGB connector causing a failed boot

[little osprey]

Is 750w enough for 3080ti ? 🤔

[earnest olive]

I'd have to guess that the case has some defect causing voltage to go where it shouldn't

[muted patio]

Enermax revo 850 df for an affordable quality unit.

[earnest olive]

also I really hope you did not pay $750 for the worst rx 580

[ripe sonnet]

no that's my old gpu i threw in til he can find a new one

[earnest olive]

okay good

[little osprey]

Oh Im too lazy to change psu and ruin all cable management lol

[earnest olive]

the list price of that build is way more expensive than my 5800x + 3080 build

almost gave me a heart attack

[ripe sonnet]

lol yeah

[earnest olive]

anyways I'd assume that it's a case defect

shorting out the motherboard and preventing boot

[ripe sonnet]

also for the record, the problem persists with either of the 2 headers and even trying the piggyback that the vetroo v5 has

so i've at least confirmed it's not the mobo

[earnest olive]

could be sending 5v down the wrong pin

[ripe sonnet]

so worst case i gotta return/rma the case and hope that's it or just live with the case rgb not syncing with the mobo/cpu cooler

[earnest olive]

you said it works fine when that's not plugged in right?

[ripe sonnet]

yeah

[earnest olive]

then yeah you should be fine to just return the case

[south jewel]

What’s a good gpu pairing for the 3700x?

[muted patio]

What resolution and refresh rate is more important

[fast dust]

really depends on your budget, what you're doing with it, etc

[potent portal]

3700X still shouldn't bottleneck any modern GPU at 1440p+

[south jewel]

id just be doing gaming and schools stuff

[south jewel]

yea i got it for like 270 yesterday on prime

pretty good deal imo

[desert gulch]

270 for a 1440p monitor or 270 for a 3700x?

[potent portal]

I assume they meant the 3700X which is... yeah

[desert gulch]

Yeahhh

Especially with 10700kf for like 230 today

[potent portal]

TBF you need to spend more on a Z motherboard so the cost balances out, thanks Intel

[desert gulch]

Yea

Big sad

But it's about the same price for 10700kf and z490 and 3700x and b550

[south jewel]

3700x

[thorn heart]

Annoying thing about the X299 chipset is that the cheapest ATX motherboard I could find was $300 it's worth it but my free CPU turned real expensive fast

[dusty dome]

I have a 7740X that has never been opened from the box for that reason

Was planning to get a cheap board for it, but it just never made sense to

Since the boards were a bit more then cheap

[cold sorrel]

I'm still reinstalling and updating stuff. I forgot what a pain in the booty switching machines is.

[strong idol]

I’m adding a second hdd to my pc but I can’t find the other sata cable. I have the one that connects to the mb but idk where the one that connects to the psu is

Can I use one of the other slots on the cable that’s plugged into the other hdd?

[earnest olive]

yes they wouldn't put 3-4 on a single cable if you could only use 1

[strong idol]

Fair but I thought they may have put them on there for other things

Like one of my slots is plugged into the rgb hub

[earnest olive]

your rgb hub is probably drawing more power than a hard drive

[strong idol]

Word

Thanks for the help

[earnest olive]

np happy building

my friend even has a scuffed setup where she uses splitter on her sata power

idk why she has so many drives

[fossil cedar]

Some ppl use like 20tb somehow

[earnest olive]

and she lost all but 1 sata power cable

@fossil cedar they're all like 500gb

anyways it got to the point where we had to run calculations to make sure she wouldn't overload the rail or the sata power connectors

[frank stirrup]

AHAHAHAA

[earnest olive]

i've seen pictures of overloaded sata power connectors, it's not pretty

miners trying to draw 75w on sata

[stoic island]

ehm

damn

[potent portal]

The smart ones use molex adapters, and not the cheapest one either

[earnest olive]

yeah

molex to pcie = works

sata to pcie = house fire

[stoic island]

does molex give you enough power?

[muted patio]

Uh

Molex rated to 75W

So, not really XD

[potent portal]

More than sata at least

[stoic island]

yea single 8 pin is rated for what, 150w at least?

[muted patio]

225

I believe

[potent portal]

Cables are all overbuilt

[earnest olive]

2 molex + 1 pcie slot = 225W

that

is enough for a 3080

[potent portal]

150W is 8 pin technical spec

[earnest olive]

[muted patio]

Well cable is 150W then

slot is 75W

[stoic island]

fun

[muted patio]

molex to anything = fire

Just avoid

[earnest olive]

it's weird seeing mining motherboards with pcie power connectors on the board

but they need it for the slots lol

[potent portal]

Pushing 200W through a 8 pin cable is common, even though it's "technically" 150W, but you need a good power supply

[fossil cedar]

Bruh

[strong idol]

my 4tb hdd only says 3.63tb

[stoic island]

windows things

[strong idol]

im pretty sure thats normal but does anyone know why

[stoic island]

it uses a different measurement

[strong idol]

i thought capital TB was terabyte

also how did you do that so fast

[stoic island]

TiB is tebibyte

it's a quick search lol

[desert gulch]

y use duckduckgo?

chrome better

[stoic island]

ddg better

[fossil cedar]

?

[strong idol]

duck hater

[fossil cedar]

Chrome is no search engine lol

[desert gulch]

hows it better

well google is

i meant google but same thing

[stoic island]

it gives me absolute search results

[strong idol]

more rule 34 and stuff

[stoic island]

not influenced by any previous searches or any other data

[desert gulch]

oh like google censors stuff?

[fossil cedar]

As long as you aint using yahoo or bing i don't judge tbh

[stoic island]

No, what I want is for two different person to search the same thing to see the same result

[strong idol]

what he said

[desert gulch]

oh

[stoic island]

With google, they influence what comes at the top with their previous data on you

[desert gulch]

ight, im moving over to opera

[strong idol]

i accidentally downloaded opera in 2018 and it was so bad

[desert gulch]

lol ye

but its got GAMER RGB

and RAM LIMITER

and CPU LIMITER

lol

[strong idol]

the search bar was stuck on my screen at all times

and twitch attached

[fossil cedar]

Is it even a search engine? Thought was just a browser, but eeww anyway

[fossil cedar]

Ohh you mean running the browser limits your other potential? Well that's in all of them XD

[desert gulch]

no the opposite

like you can limit how much ram or cpu the browser is allowed to use

kinda cool actually

[fossil cedar]

Ik i was making a joke lol

[little osprey]

what's bad about bing

[fossil cedar]

All of it

[little osprey]

Y doe

I been using bingo for a while

*bing

[fossil cedar]

Icky

I cba pointing out it's problems

I'm currently deceased

💀

[fossil cedar]

Cbd?

[little osprey]

wht

[fossil cedar]

@elfin flame if you mean to ask what cba means it means cant be arsed fyi

I could not tell if you mistyped or what cuz a minda close to d on keeb

Lol

All the cbd oil

[sterile path]

i saw someone saying its better to get 2080ti with the ryzen9 5900x than a 3080, is it true?

[muted patio]

No

Resolution has more to do with GPU than CPU does

[marble whale]

how many fps is 4k?

[muted patio]

uh, depends on your GPU and the game

[waxen geode]

Hey can I get some help? I have an AMD 3000g and a msi b450 pro max and a 3060 in the x16 pcie slot I can't get the motherboard to run it faster then x4 speeds.

[muted patio]

Do you have an NVME drive?

[waxen geode]

Ssd

[muted patio]

Well, the CPU only has 8 PCI_E lanes to start with so the most you'll get is x8

SSD as in Sata SSD?

or M.2?

[waxen geode]

It is only showing up as 4x and sata SSD

[muted patio]

Do you have any other PCI-E devices plugged in like a WiFi card or anything?

[waxen geode]

I plugged in a USB wifi

[muted patio]

Are you getting the x4 speed from the BIOS or from something like GPU-Z?

I'd be curious to know what GPU-Z reports

[waxen geode]

Bios is showing 4x

[muted patio]

let me snag a manual and have a gander

Ok so looking at the block diagram, it looks like the Chipset takes up 4 lanes

Leaving the GPU with 4 lanes to the CPU

So the x4 connection is correct

[waxen geode]

Dang haha do I need to upgrade my CPU???

[muted patio]

Yes

XD

[waxen geode]

Thank you so much I was so confused.

[muted patio]

I was too TBH

I dind't know those CPU's only had 8 lanes

Learned something tonight

[marble whale]

is a gtx 2060 good for gaming?

[muted patio]

Depends on the price

and the resolution

good 1080p card, Ok 1440p card

Not worth the current prices tho

[marble whale]

ok

im trying to build a cheap gaminjg PC

[desert gulch]

Also if it's called a gtx 2060 don't buy it

Prolly a scam

The 2060 is a rtx

[muted patio]

I had one and it did well at 1440p TBH

[marble whale]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=06G-P4-1667-KR
good/bad?

[muted patio]

Good for 1080p, $299 a bit steep though

[marble whale]

?

[desert gulch]

And it's out of stock

Smh

[marble whale]

https://youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0
hey

what would be the cheapest and best GPU?

msrp?

[livid cairn]

wait yall i think im getting a PC soon since i need one for school and i think i want to get back into coding, editing (photo and video), and also just have it for gaming if nec. Also, in general I need more storage, ram, better gpu, etc (currently using a relatively old Macbook Air) so uh do yall have any specific recommendations. Im aware that rn, the GPU market is extremely high so I will probably have to wait but I want to be ready.

[odd cosmos]

if your not doing heavy gaming then something like the 11500 is pretty great till you manage to pick up a gpu

it has a respectable igpu where igpus are concerned

[muted patio]

The best part is that it doesn't have a crappy CPU like the AMD 3000G series does

[odd cosmos]

yup

[echo vale]

just to see what im looking at

anyone have a streamer setup template?

or more content creator ish lol

[quaint zodiac]

Anyone else running into a glitch on Neweggs PC builder feature when selecting a Corsair AIO and than trying to add a case? It says, "We’re sorry, there are no items that match your selections. Please adjust your selections to try again." Also, if you add a case first, the Corsair AIO's are no longer an option.

[desert gulch]

yeah same thing happens with me

[quaint zodiac]

Interesting! Than it is not just me.

[fast dust]

you could use https://www.pcpartpicker.com instead

[quaint zodiac]

Yeah, but I am buying all the parts on Newegg and I like the convenience of throwing all of them into the cart when I am ready to buy. I think a work around is to not add it to the list and just throw it in the cart when ready to buy.

[fast dust]

you can select retailers on pcpp

just select Newegg and everything you see on the list will be from them

[quaint zodiac]

Great, thanks for the help👍

[desert gulch]

also sometimes newegg wont have the best prices, which is why pcpartpicker is nice in some cases

[fast dust]

[desert gulch]

id spend the extra few minutes to add stuff to cart manually and save 100 bucks

[quaint zodiac]

This is true but I have tons of credit with Newegg.😆

[desert gulch]

lol nice

[quaint zodiac]

Well do, thanks!

[fast dust]

hes talking about from different retailers, btw

[quaint zodiac]

Noted! 👍

[hallow mesa]

Honestly i find white builds looking better than black recently

[tight sorrel]

they are very appealing, but would imagine its a nightmare to keep clean and looking as good as they do in pictures

[hallow mesa]

Ehh i dont know

I have a black build and the dust is attrocious

But you should take care of ur pc anyway

[tight sorrel]

fair

[bitter ridge]

Hey is 256gbs good for light gaming and web browsing?

[fossil cedar]

For ssds 500gb will be a better shot and hardly any more money, 250gb is just paying for the physical ssd almost and not the amount of storage

Also 250gb kinda small

[bitter ridge]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-f513ia-eb55-wh/p/N82E16834235513

[fossil cedar]

Ohh you mean in a laptop, i mean its a bit small but it will do most

[bitter ridge]

Ok

[potent moth]

Do I buy a 134$ refurbished z490 mobo or a 119$ b560 mobo

[muted patio]

what cpu

[potent moth]

I510600k

[muted patio]

I'd go Z490 then

[potent moth]

Why?

[muted patio]

K is overclockable. B series also dont' have the best VRM to power the CPU

Z allows you to OC the CPU

[potent moth]

Oc?

[muted patio]

overclock

[potent moth]

Oh thanks man

[muted patio]

YW

I'd also pick up an aftermarket cooler for that CPU

the stock one isn't great

ID Cooling SSE 224 XT is $30 and will do well on a budget

I have one on my wifes PC

[fossil cedar]

Scythe fuma preferably but if trying to save money gammaxx 400/vetroo v5/id cooling se 224xt whichever is cheapest

The cpu literally just sold out 😭

What about the 10600ka

The reason I’ve gone intel is because I don’t plan buying a gpu immediately

[muted patio]

KA? Let me look, haven't seen that one before

Oh, the Marvel edition processor

Sure!

[robust lake]

It is just the box no?

[fossil cedar]

I would go 11400/11500 with b560 or 11600k and z590 then they have a better igpu

[robust lake]

And cost more

Lol

[fossil cedar]

You get something avengerssy

And usually cheaper if in stock

[robust lake]

Oh ok

[lyric yarrow]

quick q

just got my freezer II

im planning on putting in the front of my cas with tubes down

should i flip the fans for pulling air in?

i dont want it exhausting out of thre front of the case

[fossil cedar]

If you cant top mount, yes but at front as intake

[lyric yarrow]

yeah cant top mount unfortunately

kk im flipping the fans

[exotic bison]

Question, I’m building a pc for my sister and she picked the nzxt h510i. Should I move the top mounted fan to the front for intake or is it good where it’s at? She will have a ryzen 5 3600x and gtx 1650 oc in the case.

[fossil cedar]

Ehhh I'd leave as an exhaust as it's gonna be better at cooling that way cuz nzxt cases are ovens and there's hardly any air to be pulled in

[exotic bison]

Alright, I was just worried. I have the fans from my case before I put in my rgb fans. Should I put those in the front as intake or would that do no good?

[fossil cedar]

I mean if you have them and they won't be used otherwise yeah

[exotic bison]

Alright then I will put them in

[bold willow]

at this point should I just get a 1650?

[fossil cedar]

Not one over $/€225

Imo

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/jLd8t8 yo this setup if i plan to buy it at the end of next summer, is it good? and for that price should i wait to see what will come out like ddr5 ram or things like that?

i mean even next summer the setup will still be good

[frank stirrup]

Make a list for next year well next year

doing it rn is stupid

as many people on here have already told you

multiple times

[sterile path]

but its so cool to plan on a build

[frank stirrup]

hopefully you understand this time

[frank stirrup]

Then plan it on ur own. Dont waste anyone elses time except urs by asking us to take a look at it

[fossil cedar]

I mean but you can use it as a baseline but it really wont carry over to next year

[sterile path]

i mean some people also like to plan build or look at other's one, so if someone want to take a look they can? and if they dont want they can just ignore?

[fossil cedar]

The thing is next summer half those parts will be stoopid to buy

Am5/ddr5 will be out

Better coolers/psus might come out

Etc

[sterile path]

but cause they will be rly new they will also be expensive?

[frank stirrup]

Pato Pato both of us have already told that to this guy multiple times

dont waste ur time

[fossil cedar]

Well the cpu will be normal cpu price, ddr5 might be a bit expensive but meh

[fossil cedar]

Yeah i aint that was all lol just explaining to them why lol

[sterile path]

and is it even wroth it to wait like big sold, black Friday of next year to buy a computer or the price wont vary as much

[fossil cedar]

[sterile path]

mb then, i mean idk much about the fluctuation of component, some market have almost no sold on blackf friday and others big one

[stoic island]

Big sales are nice

[sterile path]

ya

[marble whale]

hey do i need to be grounded when i take apart my laptop?

[stoic island]

It doesn't hurt to do so, but it's not completely necessary

[marble whale]

so do i unplug the battery?

when i open it up

[fossil cedar]

Ye

First step

[marble whale]

ok

so how do i unplug the battery with the case still on?

[fossil cedar]

Depends on the laptop

Some built in, some click out

Without talking anything off

[marble whale]

2019 laptop

lenovo

will that reset the bios?

[fossil cedar]

Depends on the model

[fossil cedar]

No it wont

[marble whale]

hey do i need to reaply thrmal paste if i take the cooler off?

[stoic island]

Good to do so

[marble whale]

so if i do9nt have any can i still use it?

[stoic island]

For laptops I would really replace the thermal paste whenever you open it up tbh

[marble whale]

same 4 desktops?

[fickle iron]

I would suggest reapplying thermal paste whenever the cpu cooler is removed

[stoic island]

Desktops it's just easier to access, it's that laptops you only ever open them up so often, better to take every chance you have to replace the paste

It's also that you don't know how old the paste is from when the manufacturer placed the paste on

[marble whale]

i o09rder somje but it wont come intil july 7

[stoic island]

What'd you order from....
