[stoic island]

6800xt msrp is like 650$ iirc

so reasonable price would be like 700$ for a 6800, maybe up to 800-900 for a 6800xt

[velvet otter]

guys is the gigabyte gtx 980 ti bad?

[wanton cliff]

gigabyte GPU = bad

how much would you be buying it for?

[velvet otter]

i actully got it as a gift

but is better than my old gt 1030

[wanton cliff]

oh yeah

if you got it for free lol

[dark rune]

Yo

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-2600/p/N82E16819113496?Description=amd&cm_re=amd-_-19-113-496-_-Product&quicklink=true

Does this processor have integrated graphics?

[wanton cliff]

no

only Ryzen processors with a G or U moniker have iGPUs (the U being reserved for laptop CPUs)

does Ryzen 3 have igps without the moniker?

lemme check

oh, btw, why the 2600?

[velvet otter]

im pretty sure my pc is goona explode with my core 15 7400

[wanton cliff]

why not literally any other processor?

why a 2600?

just out of curiosity

[dark rune]

Cheap and for work

[wanton cliff]

lemme find you something cheaper, newer, better

[dark rune]

Cool

[wanton cliff]

unless you only have an AM4 motherboard or anything else I should know about?

[dark rune]

new computer

[wanton cliff]

k

[velvet otter]

do u reccomend the fans that come with the cpu?

[wanton cliff]

the 10400 used to be $180

its $270 now

[stoic island]

Which cpu

[wanton cliff]

depends on the cpu

[velvet otter]

core i 5 10gen

[stoic island]

11400 at 190$ chillin

[wanton cliff]

generally AMD CPUs are decent, but Intel stock coolers should be avoided at all costs

[wanton cliff]

where

how

I'm looking on wegg

[stoic island]

Would get a se-224-xt

[wanton cliff]

I am blind

[formal garnet]

orders placed 🙂

Thank you all

[wanton cliff]

oh its ooc, I didnt see it

[formal garnet]

Spent $1,645 vs spending $2,300

[stoic island]

You're joking 11400 went out of stock just in a few hours

[wanton cliff]

https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i5-11400-core-i5-11th-gen/p/N82E16819118241?Description=11400&cm_re=11400-_-19-118-241-_-Product&quicklink=true use this with a b560 or something when its back in stock

b560 pro4 that is

[formal garnet]

Now I have to see about what I'm going to do for a GPU 😦

[stoic island]

Wait no it's still in stock

[wanton cliff]

ah, best buy

[stoic island]

Good luck!

[formal garnet]

I ordered the K6 and Deathadder v2 @stoic island

Thanks for everything again

[dark rune]

This i5 can get upto 4.4GHz?

[stoic island]

Nice, should work

[dark rune]

Yeah, we'll need a fan for this

[rich helm]

Deathadder v2 is nice

[rich helm]

Noctua passive cooler approaches

[shrewd fjord]

Okay yes I know I dont need that cpu cooler but for the price it's a steal. And it opens up doors for upgrades later

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Everlast05/saved/dsct7P

[formal garnet]

The fella in the other chat for #peripherals-and-displays wanted my hand size and that's what he suggested so I'm going to give it a go :-"

[rich helm]

That fella was me lol just wanted to say that I have that mouse and a similar hand size

Big hand gang

[desert gulch]

not rly, that cpu cooler is beat by a x62 even, its not really that great

[jagged ember]

Never heard of that cooler

Id just get an arctic freezer ii and call it a day

[wanton flicker]

hey I was wondering if anyone had an idea for some cheapish fans that have completely controllable rgb (I'm trying to do a red white and blue setup)

[stoic island]

p12 rgb

[wanton flicker]

thx

[wanton flicker]

what can i customize the lighting with

a program or what

[stoic island]

whatever rgb software that comes with your mobo

or some controllers if controller

[shrewd fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Everlast05/saved/dsct7P hows this?

[wanton flicker]

can you even find a 3060ti rn

[jagged ember]

Nice

If u can get gpu at that price

Go

[shrewd fjord]

See best buy 399.99

[jagged ember]

Woulda gone for no rgb ram myself

[shrewd fjord]

Always need a little rgb

I cant even get a pc right now anyway I just like making myself think I can

I still have another 10k to put into my truck

Working 13 hours a day trying my best to make money before school starts again

[jagged ember]

10k for cybertruck?

[wanton flicker]

this is the truck he's saving for

bruh i cant post it

[desert gulch]

post in build pics lol

[wanton flicker]

yes

[desert gulch]

that is cool

[wanton flicker]

yes

[desert gulch]

he should get an el camino

theyre really neat

[wanton flicker]

yes

[jagged ember]

The direct opposite of the cybertruck

[desert gulch]

ewww

[wanton flicker]

lmao

its so bad

[fleet pagoda]

Is the i7 11700k better than the 5800x

[desert gulch]

not in general

maybe in some synthetic benchmarks

[fleet pagoda]

So they are close in performance

[desert gulch]

pretty close

[fleet pagoda]

Alr

Ty

[desert gulch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8N_NFzu7kg

heres some quick game benchmarks

[fleet pagoda]

I need to change the case on the prebuilt i got and it should be relatively easy right

[desert gulch]

only times 11700k wins is when its overclocked a lot or the game optimizes it better

depends on the prebuilt

if it isnt a dell or hp then probably

[fleet pagoda]

Ill send the link

[desert gulch]

just gotta make sure its not proprietary

[wanton flicker]

I prefer amd just because its less confusing

[fleet pagoda]

[shrewd fjord]

@wanton flicker how do you know what truck I am rebuilding?

[fleet pagoda]

Case and cpu cooler need to be changed and i have some spair trident z cl16 3200 ram lying around should i swap it

And i didnt pay 2200 for this it was 1600

[shrewd fjord]

I am doing a complete rebuild on a 1984 chevy k20 custom deluxe

[wanton flicker]

i posted a picture of a funny truck

[wanton flicker]

dude thats nice

[shrewd fjord]

Thanks

[verbal quarry]

What would be a good place holder gpu

I'm trying to get the 3070 but I haven't been able to since launch

[little osprey]

I need a pc part picker list.

I have a evga GTX 960 with 4G VRAM already.
I have a pc case I want because of it being so small (I don't have a huge area for a mid size case) InWin A1 Plus Black Mini-ITX Tower with 650W Gold 80 Plus Power Supply

Please dm me the list cuz im taking a nap ❣

I am willing to buy used products. I will be playing modded sims 4 on it and maybe Java minecraft with some packs ❣
It needs to be under 900$ for parts + monitor and keyboard. I have a laptop in mind but idk if I should have that over building a pc.

This is the laptop, I prefer ryzen over Intel ❣
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XJXJSBF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_SN0SGKRS8MVSYBHGCE00?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[wanton cliff]

Expensive for what it is

But decent actually

[junior crescent]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HcCZYg Is it good for Ultra 1440p high frames and some 1440p editing. The games i play are DCS, Minecraft, X-plane 11, War thunder, Cod and GTA 5

[wanton cliff]

I recommend a 5600x instead of a 3700x but otherwise yeah

That’ll push high frames in those games

Maybe get a Revolution DF instead of that EVGA PSU tho

[little osprey]

So the laptop would be fine instead of building a pc?

[wanton cliff]

For what you want to do, yeah

Just don’t expect to run any Minecraft shaders or anything

[south jewel]

Cant they get a better cooler for $90? Ir am I buggin

[wanton cliff]

Better cooler?

Oh that system

[wanton cliff]

What would be the name of this cooler?

[jagged ember]

People need to learn to use replies

[south jewel]

Idk I’m just asking

[wanton cliff]

Cause AFAIK dark rock pro 4 is one of the best air coolers you can buy

[jagged ember]

Drp4 is that yeah

On par with nh d12

[wanton cliff]

Main difference is heat sink I believe

Both are good but I’m pretty sure DRP4 uses silver while Noctua uses copper

Silver, of course, being a better conductor of heat

I could be entirely wrong about that tho

[stoic island]

drp4 practically same as d15

practically same performance

[wanton cliff]

DRP4 looks better

[stoic island]

tbh it doesn't really matter with those things, just the performance in the end xD

like assassin 3 was advertising some crazy heatpipes that they didn't actually have iirc

[wanton cliff]

Yep

Just pointing out main differences

It’s a coin toss at the end of the day

[hollow grail]

yeah that was big kek

[icy kestrel]

Can anyone help me make a part list with a 3060 ti my budgets 1750

Just the pc

I found this pre built with a 3060 Ti but I don’t know how well it really is for the price

[earnest olive]

what price

[icy kestrel]

It’s a HP OMEN - Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - 1TB SSD for 1800 with tax

[earnest olive]

1800 is steep for the specs and the omen cooler is pretty underpowered for the 5800x

but it's not the worst deal if you're desperate for a gpu

[wanton cliff]

Not great

not horrible

Thinking of expensing $1-1.5k on a decent gaming laptop for when I’m away from home, what to get? Must be able to put windows 11 on it (dunno how that works with mobos from other companies)

[jagged ember]

Havent watched the vids on razer blade 14

But maybe

[sage crown]

HEY i need help

[frank stirrup]

with?

[sage crown]

so my ssd just stopped working for no reason

[frank stirrup]

how old was it?

and which ssd

[sage crown]

its not old i got in like april and its a WD black something like that

[frank stirrup]

model?

[sage crown]

i dont know man

[fossil cedar]

How you sure it's broke?

[wanton cliff]

Isn’t WD having some issues with drives connected to the internet?

Is that just HDDs?

[frank stirrup]

external hdds

[jagged ember]

i think that's their external ones

[wanton cliff]

Aight

[sage crown]

it wont read where it shows all the memorys like c drive and a drive

[jagged ember]

which has vulnerability or something letting hackers erase them

[sage crown]

its a M.2 ssd

[fossil cedar]

Sn850 probs then

[frank stirrup]

send a pic of how it was installed

[sage crown]

bruh how if i already installed it

back in april

[frank stirrup]

send a pic of it rn

[sage crown]

Like this

[frank stirrup]

maybe a better pic of the ssd itself?

not the heatsync

[sage crown]

dude im not going to uninstall it from my computer i will have to do that tmr but it wont show at all in the computer but i will try BIOS right now

[frank stirrup]

Not asking you to uninstall anything lol

just remove the heatsync

its 1 screw

[sage crown]

its 2 but i will do that tmr cause its 1:56 so sorry

[frank stirrup]

Why did you come for help then if you dont want it

[wanton cliff]

Rawr

Who are you

[frank stirrup]

RAWR

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-rawr-cute-punch-gif-14558168

[sage crown]

i thought you would help in like BIOS settings not me showing my ssd for no reason cause that doing that wont help at all i literately got it on April

[frank stirrup]

there is a very solid chance it wasnt installed properly

but see if the bios detects it

theres no real option to swap around that will make the pc detect it all of a sudden

[sage crown]

just checked BIOS and did a run test and it work dont know why it stopped working but ya it was INSTALLED properly

[icy kestrel]

Can someone help me with a part list with compatible specs for a asus rtx 3070

I have a picture of it but it doesn’t let me send it in the chat

[frank stirrup]

any mobo is compatible with it as long as it has a pcie slot

[wanton cliff]

Pretty much everything is 'compatible' with that, what exactly did you have in mind?

[frank stirrup]

need a budget

[icy kestrel]

My budget is 1800 but i already have the graphics and I’m playing 878 for it so 922$

[wanton cliff]

ok

so

like

[frank stirrup]

1 sec I got you

[dim nymph]

hi guys, could i get some help about tpm 2.0 and win 11?

[frank stirrup]

can neither confirm nor deny

[frank stirrup]

what cpu and what mobo

[dim nymph]

i have an i7 6700k and an asus z170 pro gaming

[fossil cedar]

I think i only had 980 in there cus was purchased lol

[fossil cedar]

Not possible

[frank stirrup]

I see that makes sense

[frank stirrup]

you cant do tpm 2.0

[fossil cedar]

But decent prices Samsung drives are a miracle lol

[frank stirrup]

True

[dim nymph]

oh cuz on microsoft page it said to cheach health on pc and if everything was checked it would soppirt win 11

but if i want to have win 11 do i need to upgrade both mobo and cpu? or can i buy a tmp 2.0 thing for my mobo?

[frank stirrup]

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/Accessories/TPM-M-R2-0/

[dim nymph]

oh i see, if i buy it will and install it, does it matter im my cpu doesnt have tpm 2.0?

[frank stirrup]

no it doesnt matter

[dim nymph]

thanks! When i get this tpm 2.0 chip do i need to do something on bios and windows or will it automaticly detect it and be able to run win 11?

[frank stirrup]

might need to enable in bios

im not sure

[dim nymph]

ok sorry for asking much, i just wanted to understand it a bit more my parents will probs ask me about it hahaha

[queen dagger]

anyone have a good suggestions for RGB case fans for a black P500a?

[fossil cedar]

Arctic p12 rgb

[queen dagger]

link please? i’m on my phone and i’m a horrible typer

nvm, they ship one by one? don’t most fans ship in boxes of 3?

[grand geyser]

it depends

[queen dagger]

well yeah if you get it from a 3rd party dealer probably

[fossil cedar]

There's a 3 pack or 1 by one

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ6p99/arctic-p12-pwm-pst-a-rgb-0db-488-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-acfan00232a

[queen dagger]

o didn’t see dat lol

what makes them better? apart from price

[fossil cedar]

The same thing that makes regular arctic p12s amazing, they're great value and one of the best fans, just barely beaten by the nh a12x25s

[queen dagger]

so basically best price to performance?

[fossil cedar]

Best overall imho

[queen dagger]

ok

and they would be compatable with the liquid freezer II, correct?

[fossil cedar]

They are the fans on the arctic freezer ii, just get the rgb freezer instead if you want to do that

[queen dagger]

oh ok

so i should still get two packs though?

[fossil cedar]

Nah 1 will fill up most cases if you have an aio too

[queen dagger]

right

does the liquid freezer II have preapplied thermal paste/thermal pad?

[fossil cedar]

Ehh idk if not it comes with a tube

[queen dagger]

oh no imma have to watch an unboxing video now

[fossil cedar]

Why lol

You either get a tube with it or it has it preapplied

Just check when you get it

[queen dagger]

well i still wanna find out

ig i enjoy torturing myself

[fossil cedar]

Okay lol

[queen dagger]

also it uses adressible RGB correct? or is it like a remote (i dont like remotes)

ok so it does come with thermal paste in a tube

also

will it still work? the P500a uses 140mm.

[fossil cedar]

Adressible

[fossil cedar]

Yep p500a allows for 140mm and 120mm fans

[queen dagger]

ok. so it uses software? if so, yay

[dark rune]

Hey guys, does the Procesor AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, 3,7/4,2GHz, 8MB Cache, 6-Core/12-Thread, AM4, Stealth Wraith hladilnik have integrated graphics?

[frank stirrup]

it does

[dark rune]

Noice!

[next hound]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TbXMkX

Is this a decent build for a first gaming pc, and what storage, psu and cpu cooler should i add, also ignore the prices as they are much different in my country

[dark rune]

ASUS MB TUF GAMING B550-PLUS, AMD AM4, DDR4, ATX This motherboard would work with it, right?

[frank stirrup]

check the cpu support list on the mobo page by asus

[frank stirrup]

sn550 500gb ssd, change the mobo to a b560 since b450 is bad, 3600C16 crucial ballistix ram

@next hound

[worldly sierra]

Why would you use american pcpp if you arent american

[next hound]

MSI MAG B560 Tomahawk Wifi, this one with wifi good?

[frank stirrup]

not all regions have a pcpp page lol

[frank stirrup]

yep

go for it

[next hound]

Ok thanks

[worldly sierra]

I know that, but often part prices vary a lot sometimes dont even exist lol

[next hound]

There isnt pcpp website for my country

[frank stirrup]

b460 will run ram at max 2666 speeds for an i5. B560 lets you go much much higher

[worldly sierra]

What store / site are you buying from

[next hound]

1a.lv

[frank stirrup]

thats the reason im suggesting parts and not editing the list lmaooo

[next hound]

Most stuff from there

[dark rune]

Expansion slots1x PCIe 4.0 x16, 1x PCIe 3.0 x16, 3x PCIe 3.0 x1

This is the PCI slot you need for SSD correct?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah your motherboard software/bios

[fossil cedar]

What's your budget

[frank stirrup]

depends on what ssd

[next hound]

1000euros, the prices in my country are very different

[fossil cedar]

B460 bad boards, that gpu is astronomically overpriced

[fossil cedar]

What country

[frank stirrup]

pato

y dum

[fossil cedar]

Then use your countries site

[next hound]

The price for the gpu isnt bad in my country, i just put it there to ask if the build is good

[frank stirrup]

he say ignor prices

[fossil cedar]

Y u dum

[fossil cedar]

There's most likely a pc part picker for your country btw

[frank stirrup]

no why YOU dum

[next hound]

There isnt

[fossil cedar]

Ahhh its so bright outside i cant read

[fossil cedar]

What country

[frank stirrup]

I cant read because im dum

its fine

[next hound]

Latvia

[fossil cedar]

Ahh fair

Use https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list as a baseline tho

[dark rune]

M.2

[next hound]

What psu should i get

[fossil cedar]

Corsair rmx, enermax revolution df, phanteks amp, msi apg 650w if there's options for that

[frank stirrup]

segotep GP

[frank stirrup]

what mobo did you say u had?

[dark rune]

https://links.si/osnovna-plosca-asus-mb-tuf-gaming-b550-plus-amd-am4-ddr4-atx-011207

[fossil cedar]

Not in europe, sad

[frank stirrup]

you know whats not in india

[fossil cedar]

That board has 2 m.2 im pretty sure

[frank stirrup]

literally anything

[fossil cedar]

Lol

I feel ya ireland has f all we gotta important from Germany/uk/france/spain etc

[frank stirrup]

thats where the ssd goes

[queen dagger]

does the ROG b550-f wifi have bluetooth? i cant find otu

[fossil cedar]

Yes but it's overpriced

[frank stirrup]

You know where I have to import from?

[fossil cedar]

Where lol?

[frank stirrup]

I cant

[dark rune]

Does this have a heat sink for the SSD?

[fossil cedar]

Big oof

[fossil cedar]

Not needed

[dark rune]

Really?

Wow, I thought these things got really hot

[queen dagger]

already got it, just wasnt sure, i dont care too much about bluethooth

[fossil cedar]

Only the gen 4 ssds

[frank stirrup]

The slot down there does

[fossil cedar]

Ahh fair lol

[frank stirrup]

controller needs to be kept cool

[next hound]

Corsair RMx White Series 750W (2018) Black , this psu good?

[queen dagger]

oh i have been told that the pilot - e is a great ssd, but others tell me that sn550 is better (both 1tb compacity)

i just kinda wanna find out

[fossil cedar]

Yeah, any other options?

Also you really don't need 750w for a 1650 super

[next hound]

ill take the 750w one incase i upgrade to a better card next summer

[fossil cedar]

A 3070 runs just fine on a 650w that's why i mean 750w is overkill

[next hound]

So should i get 650w?

[fossil cedar]

I would it's usually a bit cheaper, what's the price difference/other psu options

Things can be good but stupid prices if ya get me

[next hound]

Corsair RMx White Series 750W (2018) Black CP-9020179-EU
This one is 125e
Corsair RMx Series 80 Plus Gold 650W this one 115e

@fossil cedar

[fossil cedar]

Get the 750w then

[fossil cedar]

Sn550 is better in rand(real life perf)

[queen dagger]

wqhat really is that?

[fossil cedar]

Only for gen 4 is needed really

[queen dagger]

is that really saying the the sn550 is better in real world curcumstances?

[fossil cedar]

Huh?

Yeah

[queen dagger]

ok

[fossil cedar]

In the real world use sn550 better

[queen dagger]

which one do you think is better?

[fossil cedar]

In unrealistic workload for gamers pilot e is better at consistent writes

Sn550

[queen dagger]

mk

so how does this look https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DTMXcT ? the monitors are there so i remember the name, im getting some eventuually, i dont acutally own any

[frank stirrup]

gen 3 as well

[fossil cedar]

Looks good

[fossil cedar]

I mean it's nice to have but not needed

[frank stirrup]

Fair

does help as well a little tho

[fossil cedar]

I suppose that would depend on ambients etc

[frank stirrup]

ehhh

[jagged ember]

if it's chilling right next to the gpu

it might need a heatsink

[next hound]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/76ZWht ok i finished my pcpp list for my first pc build, asking again is this good, ignore the prices and what cpu cooler should i get.?

[wanton cliff]

That’s a pretty horrible list but realistically a SE 224 XT is all you need

[next hound]

What should i change?^

[wanton cliff]

Mobo, RAM, SSD, GPU, and probably get some fans as well

[desert gulch]

id change psu aswell

no need for an A tier 750 watt

[next hound]

Which mobo, ram, ssd should i get, and the fans im getting i cant find on pcpp

[desert gulch]

what fans are they?

[next hound]

There is like 7e difference between 750w and 650w psu, so im just getting the 750w

Im still thinking on the fans, but the previous ones i couldnt find

[desert gulch]

ohhh youre not in us

check the msi mpg 750

it may be cheaper

and check the segotep gp's

[next hound]

MSI MPG A750GF 750W

This one is much cheaper, so should i get this?

[next hound]

And what is that?

[desert gulch]

its another power supply

how much is the msi?

[fossil cedar]

Can you use https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list instead and set the custom prices for your country because it's really hard to recommend without the proper prices

[fossil cedar]

Tbf they live in latvia

[desert gulch]

where you do live

[fossil cedar]

I live in Ireland why?

[desert gulch]

nice

just wondering

[fossil cedar]

Fair enough lol

That's why I'm the resident eu person lol

[desert gulch]

ye

[next hound]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/xPpDW3 i have the exact prices saved on my laptop, but these are the about prices

[formal plover]

got a little crowded in general

@smoky jay

[smoky jay]

yeah true

[formal plover]

so what games are you hosting?

[smoky jay]

GMOD, TF2, Minecraft, S&box, Hytale

Rust

Those are what I'm thinking right now

[formal plover]

okay so you'll need good single core

the 1950x wouldn't have done too good at that

[fossil cedar]

Okay, is there an 11400(f) available in your country for a decent price? And is there any ballistix ram for around the same price/cheaper than the corsair ram?

[smoky jay]

GMOD and Minecraft will probably get eradicated once SBOX and Hytale are out

I'm also gonna be hosting a webserver off of it btw

website

[fossil cedar]

Wait do you have a threadripper smokey?

Because tr doesn't use regular coolers

[smoky jay]

I don't

and I know

[formal plover]

Do you plan on using windows or linux?

[smoky jay]

I was thinking about it for my server

Linux

[formal plover]

ok

[fossil cedar]

What cpu is it? Flite said 1950x, which is thread ripper

[next hound]

Procesor Intel Core i5-11400F, 4.4GHz, 12MB, BOX (BX8070811400F)
There is this one for 170e
Procesors Intel® Core™ i5-11400F 2.6GHz 12MB BOX
And this one for 200e, dont know the difference but these are the prices

[smoky jay]

@fossil cedar None, I don't own any CPU's yet - we're discussing what I should use

[formal plover]

They both say they're boxes

[smoky jay]

I thought about a 1950x but we decided against it for what I was going to use it for

[next hound]

Everyone of the cpus say thay they are boxes, idk

[formal plover]

what website are you looking at?

[runic flare]

Ive set my ram to xmp profile in bios, 3600 mhz, yet when I go into task manager it shows default speed of 2400mhz, how do I fix?

[formal plover]

Double check bios

[runic flare]

I have

[formal plover]

you might not have applied it

oh

[smoky jay]

Does your CPU or motherboard allow up to 3600mhz

[runic flare]

yes

[next hound]

1a.lv or oreol.eu

[formal plover]

what cpu/mb?

[smoky jay]

What CPU and motherboard do you have

[runic flare]

z590-f and i9 10850k @smoky jay

[formal plover]

never heard of those. what country are you in?

[next hound]

Latvia

[desert gulch]

you buy a cpu for ur rig yet?

[formal plover]

not yet :/

[desert gulch]

i found a good deal

7700k for 40 bucks

[formal plover]

oh?

dangggg

[smoky jay]

@runic flare your cpu only supports up to 2933 mhz

[desert gulch]

ye

[formal plover]

7th gen kinda dead but for the price that's worth it

[desert gulch]

no it doesnt

[formal plover]

link?

[desert gulch]

thats JEDEC speeds

https://www.ebay.com/itm/384230311858?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

[formal plover]

oh

bruh

[desert gulch]

lol

gotem

[formal plover]

[runic flare]

can I overclock or adjust that?

[desert gulch]

ur fine

youre on a z590 right?

[smoky jay]

he is

[desert gulch]

alright then he is fine

itll work far above 2933

[formal plover]

@smoky jay i'm still working on your server i didn't forget lol

[desert gulch]

you can run 3200 or 3600 or whatever you wanna run

[smoky jay]

@formal plover lol

[runic flare]

When I select 3600 in bios task manager still shows 2400?

[desert gulch]

like when you exit or after you select it?

[south dust]

Is it alright to install windows installation media on a 7.20gb usb stick that says 8gb on the actual stick ?

[runic flare]

When I exit and boot

[desert gulch]

if windows media creation will install to that then itll work

windows will stop you if its too small

[south dust]

Oke thanks

[desert gulch]

you saving and exiting?

[runic flare]

Yes, I've gone back into bios and checked and it still says 3600mhz

[desert gulch]

what slots is your ram in?

[runic flare]

XMP I or II in bios?

2 and 4

[desert gulch]

ok good

[runic flare]

So how do I get ram speeds working?

[desert gulch]

weird task manager isnt showing it at 3600

uhhh

you could install hwinfo64 and see what it says

[runic flare]

XMP 1 or 2 in bios?

[desert gulch]

prolly 1

you arent doing anything crazy with overclocking right?

2 is for the crazy overclock ppl

[runic flare]

Yeah I'm not

[wanton cliff]

I used to live in Lithuania so pog

[desert gulch]

any idea why task manager would show ram speed as 2400 when bios has it at 3600?

im thinking task manager may just be dumb

[wanton cliff]

CPU-Z it real quick

[desert gulch]

yeah i reccomended hwinfo64 since thats what i use

[runic flare]

Alright, do I just Google that for download?

[desert gulch]

yeah

ill grab you a link real quick

[runic flare]

Nah Ive got it dw

[desert gulch]

https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

alright

[runic flare]

Where exactly does it display speed?

I'll DM you a pic

[wanton cliff]

Can rookies/people without roles still not send pics?

[runic flare]

Nope

He's not responding, mind helping me if I DM? @wanton cliff

[wanton cliff]

Sure but Idk where it is in HWiNFO, only CPU-Z

I don’t use HWiNFO a lot

I might know where it is tho

So go ahead

Hey @runic flare

What’s the name of your board

And CPU

[runic flare]

z590-f

[runic flare]

i9 10850k

CPU only allowes ram up to 2933 but he said i can put up to 3600

[wanton cliff]

So it’s not a chipset issue

Or a CPU issue

[runic flare]

What does that mean?

[wanton cliff]

Sometimes the motherboard chipset throttles ram because it can only handle so much speed

More common on 400-series motherboards from Intel

[runic flare]

So how would I fix?

[wanton cliff]

Well, it’s not the problem

Ergo, no fix exists

[formal plover]

@smoky jay how much storage does the server need?

[earnest olive]

hwinfo should show 1800mhz btw

hwinfo shows real ram speed and not mt/s

[runic flare]

Says motherboard supports up to 5333 MHz tho?

[earnest olive]

what does memory clock say in hwinfo

I've never had an issue with task manager misreporting ram speed so it's weird

[wanton cliff]

One sec

[runic flare]

1200

[wanton cliff]

His photo^

Via DM

[runic flare]

Yes I don't have photo perms

[smoky jay]

@formal plover I was gonna do 1-2 tb

[earnest olive]

wack

[formal plover]

alright

ssd or hdd?

[earnest olive]

looks like it's still jedec

[wanton cliff]

JEDEC is usually 2133 isn’t it?

Or is that just AMD

[earnest olive]

does it take any longer to boot or visibly restart during boot process when you apply xmp

no, jedec goes up to 3200

[formal plover]

@smoky jay also are you using ethernet? if so, what speed?

[earnest olive]

I have a 3200c22 jedec kit in my laptop

[wanton cliff]

JEDEC minimum via BIOS I mean

[earnest olive]

...?

[runic flare]

I haven't noticed anything I don't time it

[earnest olive]

jedec is programmed into the ram too

some ram is binned for 2133c15 jedec

[wanton cliff]

Whatever, let’s move on

[earnest olive]

2133 is the most common

[runic flare]

Yes help me fix

[earnest olive]

2400c17, 2666c19, 2933c21, 3200c22 also exists

[runic flare]

Alright yes that's great but help would be much appreciated thanks kings

[earnest olive]

I mean.. what I'm saying is directly rated to finding your issue

[runic flare]

Yes but I don't understand any of it lol

[earnest olive]

it's not that the board is just deciding to apply 2400

it's stuck at default spec

which for your ram is NOT 2133

you should time the boot after applying 3600 see if it takes longer

could be failing to boot xmp and then falling back to default as a safety measure

some boards will tell you that boot failed

some will just auto apply default spec

[earnest olive]

I would appreciate if you didn't tell me to move on when I'm helping with the issue

thanks :)

[wanton cliff]

we were arguing about what the jedec standard was

I wasnt telling you to move on from helping someone

but ok

[runic flare]

It's 10 seconds slower when I apply 3600mhz

[earnest olive]

yeah probably failing to boot

[earnest olive]

but I was saying that his build is running jedec

you're the only one trying to argue

:)

@runic flare could you apply xmp and then manually set ram voltage to 1.4v?

see if that will work

1.4v is still safe so don't worry about that

sometimes boards droop a bit below set voltage

so it's possible that's why it won't boot

[smoky jay]

@formal plover gig

[formal plover]

alright

the motherboard has integrated 2.5Gb

@smoky jay https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X6kqF8

here's what I came up with

[runic flare]

Do I have to do manual profile for that? XMP 1 doesn't show voltage options

[formal plover]

Game servers like single core performance and lots of ram

[smoky jay]

Thanks @formal plover

[formal plover]

no problem

the cpu has an igpu but I left an available thing for a gpu

oh yeah and remember to put pics in #build-pics when you build it

[smoky jay]

Will do

[earnest olive]

@runic flare look around in the bios it'll be somewhere in oc tab

[runic flare]

@earnest olive DMs

[steep fern]

When running a loop would you say it's ideal to run more than a 360mm for a 9900k and 3090?

[earnest olive]

yeah for sure

a 9900k alone can overload a 360 rad depending on workload

I'd do 360 cpu 240 gpu

2x 240 enough if you only game probably

[steep fern]

@earnest olive thanks, was thinking the 240 and 360 but was a bit unsure if it was overkill, much appreciated!

[earnest olive]

360 cpu 240 gpu will cover you for everything you can throw at it easily

240 each will be okay

360 for both is a bit iffy but shouldn't explode or anything

just at that point you might as well aio

[steep fern]

I have a 360 and 240 so I will use them

[earnest olive]

yeah sounds good

[steep fern]

Thanks again!

[earnest olive]

temps will be fantastic with that much radiator

enjoy your beast system

[shadow crypt]

Hello! anybody know if this motherboard https://www.newegg.com/asus-tuf-gaming-x570-pro/p/N82E16813119353 will need an update or anything or will work straight out of the box for a ryzen 7 5800

[vague oracle]

It should

One of the reviews is saying it supported his 5900 out of the box

[fossil cedar]

That's fine, when i ordered 11400 for my bro on Amazon france it said 11400 box and it was from the official intel so just a weird translation thing i think

[shadow crypt]

Aight, thanks

[fossil cedar]

I would go b550 tuf btw it's cheaper and same pretty much

[earnest olive]

@shadow crypt it's hit or miss

sometimes you get old stock that isn't updated

sometimes you get new stock

usually it'll be updated

but the good news is that it has bios flashback

[formal plover]

hm ok

[shadow crypt]

I will look into it

[fossil cedar]

I was a bit sus but it was official intel and Amazon have great customer service anyway

[vague oracle]

Don’t all ASUS boards have EZFlash on them so you don’t even need to have a CPU installed to update BIOS or is that just the higher end ones

[stoic island]

never all boards, flashback is only on some boards

for example, x570-plus doesn't have flashback, x570-pro does

[wanton cliff]

B550 TUF has flashback, B550 Strix doesn’t (I think)

[fossil cedar]

Really? Ew

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok, it’s just a useful feature I’d expect ASUS to put it on all modern boards

[stoic island]

it's a feature I'd expect everyone to put it on all modern boards

and the brand that's been best at it has been msi

Gigabyte close behind

(mainly on getting flashback on most low end boards)

[vague oracle]

Gigabyte is nice with the whole dual bios

[wanton cliff]

Asus makes up for it by quickly flashing their own boards, but they should still include it as a standard feature

[stoic island]

I mean bios flashback is useful for way more than just the bios version you get

[wanton cliff]

True

[stoic island]

debugging, ocing, quickly testing things

[vague oracle]

ASUS RMA really was nice by getting my board back to me within a week when the board got messed up during a BIOS update

And updated it to the newest version at the same time

[earnest olive]

my b550 steel legend doesn't have it

I have spare zen 2 cpu but it came with the first bios to support 5000 out of the box

[hollow grail]

@wanton flicker whatcha doin with so many gtx 690

[hallow glen]

😉

[hollow grail]

interesting cooler

[potent portal]

The V5 is about the same performance as the SE-224 and such, the cheap good ones

[stoic island]

cxm is sad

but oh well

hope you don't get a whiney boi

[queen dagger]

can anyone suggest some good looking rgb dims (2x16) that are reasonably priced? i don’t know much about ram, but i do know i don’t wanna spend 210+

[stoic island]

crucial ballistix rgb 2x16gb 3600mhz cl16

[desert gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/33WBD3/crucial-ballistix-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k16g36c16u4bl

[queen dagger]

the P500a can fit 3 120mm fans on the top, right?

[rich helm]

Yes

[queen dagger]

other than that lol, i’m asking for a backup really

if the ram prices raise like they did a couple years ago

[fossil cedar]

Ballistix best and no other 3600cl16 rgb for that price

[fossil cedar]

They already went up, if you're looking more than 1/2 months in the future, there's not much point, look again then as things change a lot

[queen dagger]

what you mean by this? i will prob but ram when i go down to MC

*2nd sentence wasn’t relevant to the question

[grand geyser]

Ram is generally cheaper on Newegg than at Micro Center.

[fossil cedar]

Ohh i thought you were trying to make a list to buy for not a few months because some people do that

[queen dagger]

really?

[fossil cedar]

From what I've seen ye

[queen dagger]

i already have bough my sata ssd, mobo and cpu, and case

[fossil cedar]

Mc good for gpus and cpus afaik that's about it

[queen dagger]

fair

should i only go down for gpu then?

cause that’s rlly the whole reason i’m going down

[fossil cedar]

That's fine lol just some people want to make lists for 4,5 months in the future and there's like no point lol

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[queen dagger]

to be fair i started it last year with a 9900k 😉

the lost

lost

[grand geyser]

All of the Micro Centers now have a drawing for a GPU buying opportunity in the morning before the store opens. That's how I got my 3080 last Thursday.

[queen dagger]

yeah

i need to find someone that’s been to the MC in cambridge cause that’s where im going

[fossil cedar]

;-;

Why lol

[grand geyser]

Most people who entered the drawing got the opportunity to buy a card. They had a lot of cards that day.

[queen dagger]

i knew very little about some stuff

[grand geyser]

It's really your best shot at getting a card.

[queen dagger]

and was told that amd was horrible

by a baised intel user

[grand geyser]

AMD is fine these days.

[queen dagger]

ik

[queen dagger]

what store?

imma guess new york

[grand geyser]

I'm in Houston, TX.

[queen dagger]

ah

that’s a 2000 mile journey

[grand geyser]

I never could get there early enough to camp, and the weather never cooperated, either. The new system really came through for me.

I won on my first attempt.

[fossil cedar]

Amd 5800x and up are the best consumer cpus hands down over intel

[grand geyser]

The card finished my build. It's just a shame that I could no longer return my temporary card, a GT 1030 to Best Buy. That window ended the day before I got the 3080.

I've got a 5950X and I'm loving it.

[queen dagger]

i just feel like cause it the clossst to a lot of people and there will be little stock

in mass

[grand geyser]

Just get there at 9 a.m. and enter the drawing. Then, they'll call names in the order the machine picked them and line you up. At 10 a.m. you'll go in and get a card.

The names get called after 9:30 when the entry window closes.

The employees at the Houston store really knew how to keep things orderly and efficient.

[queen dagger]

i got a 5900x : )

i think that’s how most MCs are

[grand geyser]

The 5900X is a great chip, too. However, all of that stimulus money meant that I had room in the budget for the 5950X

[queen dagger]

is itvlike that for every store?

[grand geyser]

Yes!

I'll look for the link to where the details are on their website.

[queen dagger]

where a MC in maine

[grand geyser]

https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/8756/random-selection-process-and-faq

[shrewd fjord]

For your RAM use 3600 not 3200 you will increase performance

[desert gulch]

its 10th gen intel... it wont take that much of a difference

[shrewd fjord]

True but it's better to get the 3600 so if future upgrades

He can get 3600 for not much more

[potent portal]

It'll make a difference but not at the magnitude an AMD system would

[desert gulch]

11th gen would be a much different story

or ryzen

[stoic island]

Next gen is all likely going to be ddr5 so keep that in mind

[shrewd fjord]

True did not think of this

Thank you guys for correcting me

[stoic island]

It's like saying now you should upgrade from one fx chip to another instead of go from fx to like Zen 3

[fossil cedar]

Why lol?

[stoic island]

Making an analogy for updating already out of date hardware when newer hardware (ddr5 and such) would have been available already

[fossil cedar]

Keep in mind Latvia might have stoopid prices for 3600 lol

[stoic island]

So in the future, upgrading (by then) years old hardware with other years old hardware doesn't really make sense

[fossil cedar]

Ahhh that's fair lol

[grand geyser]

I've upgraded from a Core i7 3630QM laptop to a Ryzen 9 5950X desktop. 8 years between upgrades mean that my new system feels like a gigantic leap forward.

[desert gulch]

lol thats a hugeeee upgrade

[queen dagger]

fr

[steep fern]

Anyone have any idea why I wouldent get display with a 3090 9900k on a z390 edge mpg

[queen dagger]

they would all be compatable, i think at least

so possible a DOA

[earnest olive]

does it have debug led

[queen dagger]

oh yea

[earnest olive]

or post code

[steep fern]

Nope

[earnest olive]

msi should have debug led

[steep fern]

I can boot with inboard display tho

Onbored

[earnest olive]

jeez I hope your 3090 is not dead..

[queen dagger]

fr

[earnest olive]

that would be suck^2

[steep fern]

I have a vertical gpu mount

[earnest olive]

ohh

[steep fern]

I hope it maybe that

[earnest olive]

yeah boot it without riser first

[queen dagger]

wait how would you be using onboard graphics with a 9900k

[steep fern]

9900k has on bored

[queen dagger]

this good idea

oh i thought it didn’t

[steep fern]

So only issue without the riser lol is its in a hardliners loop

So this will be fun

[queen dagger]

very

but then your 3090 may work

[steep fern]

True it just dosent fit in my case the other way with a waterblock xD

[earnest olive]

oh man

gotta boot test stuff before building a hardline loop

[steep fern]

I had tested it all and thats why I was getting a bit worried

But I figured it out!

I didmt triple check the seating xD

[earnest olive]

oh nice glad it works

be sure to post in #build-pics

I love seeing hardline loops

[steep fern]

Ill.post it soon I have sys prep in it atm before I run my actual coolant

[steep fern]

Alright got a new issue lol, this one is throwing me off hard, ram slot 1 and 2 if any ram is inserted I get a dram light 3 and 4 have no issues, tried single ram in each slot and no matter what 1 and 2 throw a debug

[earnest olive]

bruh

the bad news is that that could be either CPU or board

CPU failures are rare though unless you bought it used

[steep fern]

Cpu was new, this bored had a 1070 on it 2 days ago and was working fine with all 4 sticks, so it's kinda blowing my mind that it's not reading slot 1 or 2,

Like the socket light above is showing its inserted and the rgb on the ram is going but just whenever anything is in the slots now I get the debug

[earnest olive]

is it the same 4 sticks as before?

[steep fern]

Yeah

Same order and all

[earnest olive]

CPU might have a defective memory channel

[steep fern]

Can it just go bad tho out of nowhere?

[earnest olive]

always a chance for new items to be defective

I know this all too well

once had 6 defective brand new items in a single build

[steep fern]

The 9900k was on the bored with the 1070

[earnest olive]

that was really fun to diagnose

oh

hmm

maybe you accidentally bent a pin related to memory?

while doing the swap?

did you even take the cpu out

wait

you had no reason to

[steep fern]

Yeah lol

[earnest olive]

idk then maybe you somehow accidentally damaged a trace on the board

[steep fern]

Hopfully not,

[earnest olive]

did you try a cmos clear

[steep fern]

Doing that now actually

[earnest olive]

good luck I'm gonna eat now

[steep fern]

Thanks for the help! Enjoy the food!

[earnest olive]

enjoyed it indeed

pizza crust stuffed with sweet potato is interesting

any luck?

[steep fern]

No luck

Slot 1 and 2 seem to be messed up

[little osprey]

diy test bench

[pale dust]

damn @terse tiger thats a really clean build nice job

i like where you put the screen too

[sharp pelican]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NkrtGq can anything be changed? Hate to be that guy lol

[queen dagger]

i would suggest a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 for a 5900x, thats what im personally building. You also dont need that expensive of a mobo really, i got a $200 one. Final thing is that that SSD is a horrible deal compared to other NVMe SSDs. I would suggest a sn550 or pilot-e. that case also doesnt have much air flow from prior experiences, I would suggest chaning it.

[sharp pelican]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gcsnTW/lian-li-galahad-aio-360-rgb-6917-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-galahad-aio-360-rgb-white ?

how about this one

im up for changes

just need the cpu, gpu and my white theme to stay the same

[queen dagger]

looks great, but the Liquid Freezer II retail for around 130 USD and i a top preformer for 5th gen ryzen from what ive heard

and i think it comes in white

[sharp pelican]

nice

ill check it out

[queen dagger]

oh nvm it doesnt

[sharp pelican]

aww

[queen dagger]

but that Lian Li is pretty good, should do the job

what do you intend on doing?

[sharp pelican]

gaming, streaming, and prolly video editing once i learn

[queen dagger]

this is my list, and ive put 6 months of research into it. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DTMXcT

kind of a reference

[queen dagger]

i plan on doing the same thing,

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-Strix-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B08F9VP2RC/ref=sr_1_2?crid=A6ZJCYP8Z2RK&dchild=1&keywords=white+motherboard+amd&qid=1625026514&s=electronics&sprefix=white+m%2Celectronics%2C207&sr=1-2 this is a better price and is still white

[sharp pelican]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MjVbMv this is what i got suggested from another server

[queen dagger]

granted not quite as much conectivity

[queen dagger]

thats a lot better, thats the case i went with ;)

[sharp pelican]

i have my moms old fractal case

[queen dagger]

set your 5900x for 550 USD and 3090 for 900 just for a refernce price btw

ah

if you want

[sharp pelican]

its the arc midi R2

its discontinued of course

but holy.

its amazing to build in

[queen dagger]

imma go to bed ill talk to you in the morning ping me if needed

[sharp pelican]

all right myman

[desert gulch]

id go 2x16 ram tbh

its cheaper and better upgrade path

[sharp pelican]

i want my computer to last a few years.

thats why i picked 32

Also, since im getting double my current core count i should be fine running more apps in the background

[desert gulch]

im also saying to get 32, just instead of 4x8 go for 2x16

same capacity

[sharp pelican]

i dont think id need to upgrade ram

id probably would upgrade an entire build before i need more/ new ram

[potent portal]

2x16 is easier on the memory controller too, overclocks better than 4x8

[desert gulch]

yea

less complicated for the system

[sharp pelican]

maybe

not entirely sure what im going to do

[frank stirrup]

no maybe about what they said

2x16 easier to run and also probably a little cheaper

[potent portal]

Yeah I've been seeing good 3600c16 32gb kits for around $160 lately, not bad at all per gb

[sharp pelican]

ive never built amd. I know higher frequency is better for AMD should i go 3200 or 3600?

[potent portal]

3600 with 16 (or ideally 14) cas latency

Should be around $80-$90 for 16gb

$160 for 32gb

There's literally a 15% increase possible in fps going from 3200 to 3600

Can anyone name a good EarBuds with a good mic at a reasonable price range

[potent portal]

I use these, fairly decent and not a bad price https://www.walmart.com/ip/Soundcore-True-Wireless-Earbuds-with-Charging-Case-White-AK-A3902021/737517526

No complaints from other people about mic quality on calls or discord chat

[keen fractal]

There is no Realtek option even though I plugged my headphone in

[grim lake]

hey i am kinda new to the pc community but i have a optiplex 780 and have ok stuff but is it worth upgrading the power and other things or in vest in a more upgradable rig i am on a budget of like 500

us dollars

[vagrant olive]

friend just sent me this image of his build

im currently crying

[keen fractal]

The cables

[frank stirrup]

Thats not a build

Thats wires

[lyric thistle]

Lmao

After building the PC I have with me I just don't understand how people can leave their cables so messy

[vagrant olive]

i know

[frank stirrup]

What port is it plugged into and do you have the drivers installed

[frank stirrup]

Same

[lyric thistle]

My cables aren't really pretty but they're at least routed in the right spots lol

[vagrant olive]

i have an o11d mini snow edition so the black cables are

pretty clashing with the case

but at least its mostly neat

[frank stirrup]

Pic for proof

[vagrant olive]

1 sec lemme find my phone

[lyric thistle]

I couldn't get a nice shot if my PC lol

No lights inside

[keen fractal]

It is plugged into the front port

[frank stirrup]

Flash

[frank stirrup]

And the drivers?

[vagrant olive]

need to get a white mobo and ram

[lyric thistle]

Yea

[keen fractal]

The pc is not recognizing the device

[lyric thistle]

Gaming

You can barely see the P14s

[frank stirrup]

That cable is why i have anxiety

[lyric thistle]

Didn't fit on the front side of the case with the front panel connectors so I had to put them on the inside lol

Looks fine ish

[vagrant olive]

hahaha it rests just above the fans

[lyric thistle]

I would just have front to back fans tho, nof that an o11d can do that

[vagrant olive]

whenever i next crack open my pc ill adjust it

i had to put them in a weird position because they kinda got stuck that way from my old case

they should be formed to this new thing now tho

[lyric thistle]

I might get a set of extensions

The PCIe and 24 pins are kinda bulgy

And the second 6+2 just sits there lol

[vagrant olive]

https://www.amazon.com/Asiahorse-Customization-Sleeve-Extension-Supply/dp/B07C735N9C

wait wtf they made them so cheap??

they were $40 back when i bought them

[lyric thistle]

Asiahorse 😳

[vagrant olive]

strong extensions

[fossil cedar]

Strongly good at fire

[vagrant olive]

nah

[lyric thistle]

I also want to get a USB 3.0 header elbow type thing so the cable doesn't stick out so much

[vagrant olive]

i need one of those so bad

atx mobo in an o11d mini

with the only usb 3 header on the bottom

[earnest olive]

asiahorse is a reputable brand

also, it is not that difficult to make cables

[fossil cedar]

I thought they caused issues? Mb I'm thinking of someone else

[potent portal]

Pssst... https://www.amazon.com/Female-Extension-Adapter-Motherboard-Mainboard/dp/B07FKLQ8JL

[fossil cedar]

I read that as xiaomi lol, are the phones doing that bad X)

[earnest olive]

@fossil cedar possible you heard of boot issues with their pcie risers but that's all gen 3 risers paired with gen 4 cards, not limited to asiahorse

[fossil cedar]

Idk mb i tripping i tired lol

[lyric thistle]

I've heard of plenty of asiahorse dissing

Probably thrown around here and there on this discord

[potent portal]

Asiahorse are usually ok as long as the gauge of the wire matches the load you plan to put through it

[earnest olive]

that's true of any cables

[potent portal]

There's also fake ones going around (hearsay, nothing confirmed I've seen) where they use an extra thick shielding to fake the wire gauge size being bigger

[earnest olive]

i've gone much cheaper than asiahorse with no issues

[fossil cedar]

[earnest olive]

$18 funtin cable set's 8-pin EPS had no problem supplying 250W cpu power to an 8700K

[potent portal]

Pro tip: avoid aliexpress cheap stuff for critical components

[earnest olive]

and the 8+6 pin has no problem feeding 215W to a 5700XT

[fossil cedar]

Do asia horse make custom cables or just the extensions? I'm pretty sure i was thinking of custom cables lol

[earnest olive]

extensions

[fossil cedar]

:o that's a linus level tip right there XD

[potent portal]

Only 215? I hope that's 290 including slot power

[earnest olive]

no, 215 total

i didn't test more but i'm sure it would be fine

if you really want i can humor you and toss them onto my 3080

[potent portal]

Well that means it's only pulling about 165-170W through both an 8 pin and 6 pin connection 🙃

140-150 even, I can't math this late

[earnest olive]

sure but i never said that was the limit of the cables

just that i've validated that to work

very long term as well

[potent portal]

That's far from a torture test is all I'm saying

[earnest olive]

it's the same power as a 3070

[potent portal]

I don't doubt they'd work with more current

[earnest olive]

you'd have to up to 3080+ or rx 6800 to push much higher

at that point you have the money to not buy $18 cables if you're scared

[fossil cedar]

Lol

[potent portal]

Even most 3080s aren't going to stress those cables tbh, with the load spread across 2-3 sets of cables and 75W from the slot
