yeah ur obviously trolling so im gonna not help you

marsh kiln
#

How am I trolling

#

I wad just asking what people thought about it

frank stirrup
#

and an xbox

#

and a pc

marsh kiln
#

When I go to a friend's house I do not a pc

#

When I get the pc I will use the pc and a monitor or a few other things

frank stirrup
#

Ok troll

marsh kiln
#

My TV is still in my bag

earnest olive
#

i mean

smoky fjord
#

Anybody with 3x8pin gpu, how did y'all route the cables to look pretty?

earnest olive
#

i carried a 27 inch monitor with me to gf's place

#

it's not impossible

frank stirrup
#

once

marsh kiln
earnest olive
#

i had to lift it up several flights of stairs too

#

and carry it quite some distance

#

it's not fun but it's definitely possible

marsh kiln
#

The rest is hooked up in my living room right now

earnest olive
#

wouldn't be so quick to write him off as a troll

#

mans just strong 02lul

marsh kiln
#

When I go I have so much in the bag the handles are starting to rip

smoky fjord
#

He's just a chad who uses a sturdy gym bag

earnest olive
#

hes the pokemon protag fitting a bicycle in his backpack lmao

marsh kiln
#

Lol

#

That's almost everything I don't keep my keyboard in there tho

smoky fjord
#

Just do what I did, get the Cougar Panzer max. It has handles.

#

Everything else goes in the backpack

marsh kiln
#

Lol

#

The case I am thinking about getting for my pc has handles

#

That bag has a handle on the top and bottom and has wheels with a handle

smoky fjord
#

It comes out a little heavy at around 55 pounds with my full build but it's sturdy and easy to build in

#

That's not a bad idea, might have to start throwing mine in a suitcase

earnest olive
#

55 pounds?

#

you got 4 3090s in there?

#

plus an nh-d15?

marsh kiln
#

It's so nice my TV just fits in there like a glove

smoky fjord
#

1 3090 and full water cooling

#

It's a full tower though

marsh kiln
#

I can also fit my two laptops as well for when looking things up on them

#

Best free bag ever

smoky fjord
#

Nice

marsh kiln
#

Yea I am just tired of playing bedrock alone

smoky fjord
#

I need to find a bag for my ps5 but I'm scared to put it in anything

marsh kiln
#

And want a pc

#

Lol I would be to

smoky fjord
#

I kinda wish they would have stayed with the square body

marsh kiln
#

Yea the darn thing is chunky

#

I am watching a 2 year old bitwit video right now and he is looking at gpus for a computer and I seen a rtx 2060 for 400😢 back when u could buy a gpu and not break the bank

#

2060 super*

smoky fjord
#

Just wait a little, prices are going back to normal

marsh kiln
#

yea my pc build i almost up to 3000

#

and i just lost my job everything is going just lovely

viscid jolt
#

Ok...so still new to this going thru the Newegg builder... For basic home use and the occasional games (Skyrim to Minecraft) a cpu intel i7 or i9 is what I’m looking for correct? That will also allow room for growth later I think?

#

Now how does one choose a motherboard, memory, and video cards?

fossil cedar
frank stirrup
#

something like an i5 11400 will do fine as pato suggested

meager nacelle
#

Anyone know what would happen if I tried playing a game on my pc? It has no GPU and no intergrated graphics in the cpu

earnest olive
#

unless you have a server cpu designed to be able to run without any graphics adapter

#

consumer cpus require a graphics adapter or it will not boot

#

many modern cpus do not require you to connect a display but graphics adapter must still be present

viscid jolt
stoic island
#

They're not needed

#

People just get them either for more intensive games or other uses, or go "i7 and i9 bigger number must mean better"

fleet pagoda
#

Will a aigo ac240 aio work for a 5800x

#

Kinda jus bought a cheap one ;-;

#

Now im unsure

stoic island
#

Who knows

#

Check if it has am4 mounting hardware at least

#

And hope cooling performance is enough

#

And also hope it doesn't break or leak

fleet pagoda
#

LMAO im an idiot it literally says for intel in the thing

fossil cedar
#

Well check to see, might just be a branding thing like ram for intel kinda thing

stoic island
fossil cedar
queen dagger
#

what fans does the Galahad come stock with?

earnest olive
#

@fossil cedar @frank stirrup I'm giving up on this 5800x

#

buying a new one

#

from now on never doing a non-daily oc

#

I never had passion for them to begin with just wanted to help team wegg thinking it was safe

#

but turns out a 5800x can be heavily degraded by 15 mins of 1.4v in medium loads

#

even if it never goes above 80c

#

oh I'm in the wrong channel

#

oh well

earnest olive
#

not killed but degraded

maiden pawn
#

I’m about to get a 5800x and know nothing about over clocking. Can you explain this more?

#

ELI5

desert gulch
earnest olive
#

corecycler errors

earnest olive
#

I'll ping you

desert gulch
#

so how long on that oc would it take to kill it?

stoic island
#

A long time to really kill a chip

earnest olive
#

there are two types of overclocking for AMD cpu

#

manual and PBO

#

PBO tells the CPU "hey do your smart self-management like usual but boost to higher limits"

stoic island
earnest olive
#

you can additionally take away some extra voltage and see if it's still stable which will reward you with lower temps and sometimes higher boost

#

manual is when you remove the protection and tell the CPU exactly how to run itself at one specific clock speed and voltage

#

this can cause the cpu to degrade (require more voltage for the same clocks or get lower clocks at same voltage)

#

commonly it has been said that pushing higher voltages for a few minutes for benchmarks is okay

#

and some benchmarks do benefit from having a manual overclock

#

mine apparently was not okay with a few minutes and is now degraded

maiden pawn
#

Ok, but if I choose to OC and use the PBO I should be fine?

earnest olive
#

if you just stick to PBO (which is better for gamers anyways) and don't manually set the boost scalar, you don't need to worry about degradation

#

I was just trying to push higher benchmark scores

#

which I will no longer be doing

maiden pawn
#

👌

#

Thanks for the explanation it’s helpful

earnest olive
#

no problem

#

it just sucks cause I've done it to many ryzen cpus with no degradation

#

but it just had to happen to my most expensive one

stoic island
#

How boosting normally works is basically working off a voltage/frequency table, and PBO kind of nudges it around inside that table, and taking some of the limits off

#

The table might say 4ghz at 1.2v, and 4.2ghz at 1.25v, and PBO can try to do 4.2ghz at 1.2v

jagged ember
#

So if i told pbo to go to a maximum of 4300ghz

#

On a 3600 im safe right?

zenith ore
#

hey are we allowed to post pc part picker links here? i wanna ask for opinions on a build i put to together and will be getting

jagged ember
#

Yes

#

Youre good

zenith ore
#

okay

#

5800x and 3060

#

the system will be used for gaming and game engine development, etc.

#

it's a $2500 budget and after tax from my state it's $2,416

desert gulch
#

id change a bunch of stuff

#

i can make a quick list one sec

fluid gale
#

how long have people been waiting for their PC?

desert gulch
#

heres a quick list

#

you could save a bit on the case and that type of thing but its about the best youll get for 2500 budget after tax

#

also keep in mind i put 800 for the 3080 which is highly highly optimistic, most likely youll be looking at around 900 if you're lucky

little osprey
frank stirrup
#

Dont think you can

#

Werf a try tho ig

earnest olive
#

yeah

#

i just bought a new one cause i dont wanna wait weeks for rma

#

but ill see what i can do with rmaing the old one

frank stirrup
#

Is this for your build or a flip?

earnest olive
#

my build

robust lake
#

Hm you can always just fry it and then rma probably

earnest olive
#

i uhh

#

don't really want to fry it

desert gulch
#

Maybe it could but I mean with pbo and stuff idk

frank stirrup
#

should be able to

#

barely

#

its a tier 3 setup

desert gulch
# frank stirrup barely

Yeah I'd rather just get a board that can for sure handle it tho, no use in cutting it super close

#

And if it's super close sometimes vrms can actually thermal throttle the whole system

#

And I can testify that the x570 tuf pro is insanely good vrms for the price

#

De8baur reviewed it against other x570 and it destroyed in the value field

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

dunno i'll figure it out

#

thinking ill try to rma and then sell the other in a flip

#

or just sell it

fossil cedar

annoying that the nice sheet that lists the comps with the ratings isn't up to date at all with b550's

#

so I have to use at least two sheets

all of them kinda incomplete

oh wait pato already fixed it

@desert gulch components to be specific for mortar vs torpedo

frank stirrup
stoic island
#

as you can tell, exact same controller and mosfets, torpedo just has more

#

and as seen above, torpedo has a pretty damn high rating for a maxed out 5950x

fossil cedar

keep in mind blue means good for the tier on this tier list, and the tiers here

#

i think it might be best to stick with my 1650 until prices drop or upgrade to a 1660 super or something like that until prices drop

#

1.1k is outside my budget sadly it would be closer to $3k total

fossil cedar
zenith ore
#

i have 2.5k budget

fossil cedar
#

But you can wait but you'll be waiting a year or 2

frank stirrup
#

Pato

fossil cedar
#

Rawr

frank stirrup
#

I got monterey working

#

on my hackintosh

zenith ore
#

would it be possible to fit 1.1k into a 5800x or 5900x build?

frank stirrup
#

It would be but wouldnt work well

fossil cedar
# zenith ore i have 2.5k budget

Ohh right, well you could easily get a 3070 in that budget, send me your parts list anyway and I'll have a look over it for you, see if i can improve it at all

zenith ore
#

i have the parts list i made and the one someone here edited for me which one would you like?

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
zenith ore
#

i at least want a 5800x because of what i'll be using the pc for and i'll need the extra cores and power

fossil cedar
#

And you are from the us right?

zenith ore
#

gaming, 3d graphics design, engine development

fossil cedar
#

Okay

zenith ore
#

all things that would benefit from extra cores and power

#

yeah i'm from west virginia and the sales tax here is 6 cents per dollar

fossil cedar
#

Do you need any motherboard features like wifi etc?

zenith ore
#

not wifi but i definitely want bios flashback

tight sorrel
fossil cedar
zenith ore
#

i always use ethernet

fossil cedar
zenith ore
tight sorrel
#

right

zenith ore
#

it uses both vulkan and direct3D 12

tight sorrel
#

then a 5900x would be really advantagous

zenith ore
#

yeah 12 cores would be great especially since it's in C++ and big projects can take hours to compile with low core count in c++

tight sorrel
#

if not for that, I would say rather spend more on the GPU

fossil cedar
#

@zenith ore how much storage you want btw?

zenith ore
#

i want to get a 1tb nvme ssd for both the space and the speed i have a few drives for other things already in m yo current PC

fossil cedar
#

Okay grand

zenith ore
#

i will be over clocking as well

fossil cedar
#

There ya goo

zenith ore
#

OK that's great! the only i'll change is memory because i'll need 32 gigs

#

i could probably save up a bit more to get the extra ram

zenith ore
#

it will be a little over after tax but i think that will work thank you

fossil cedar
zenith ore
#

$2,646.70

#

that's the total

#

that should be fine

#

just an extra hundred bucks pretty much

fossil cedar
#

@zenith ore if you want if you go 500gb m.2 it will bring it down to almost 2500

#

Also i can change to a cheaper case

frank stirrup
#

there

fossil cedar
#

With tax

fossil cedar
zenith ore
#

$2,568.10 that's even better that'll definitely work

#

one question does the provided motherboard require a bios update before it will work with the 5900x?

fossil cedar
#

Sometimes it will work

tight sorrel
#

rather be prepared for it than not

fossil cedar
#

Sometimes it will need bios update

#

It depends how long the specific board you get shipped has sat on the shelf tbh

zenith ore
#

okay if it doesn't work when i put it together my friend has an r5 3600 i could use to update the bios

frank stirrup
#

its been more than half a year

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
#

Doesn't need a cpu in the board to do it

zenith ore
#

that's right

#

alright! i'll let everyone know when i get it and build it

fossil cedar
#

Good luck

#

Usually i would say wait til you get a gpu but since you can rip the 1650 out of your system right now you can use that for the moment, btw remember to reinstall windows

wut

#

it's not m14, it's called m1 and the mac with it isn't faster than ryzen on the higher end spectrum, but apple doesn't care anyway as it's good enough for em

it did replace the outdated intel ones for em anyway

frank stirrup
little osprey

Omegalul m14

#

you are thinking of ios 14

frank stirrup
#

a14 more likely

#

lol

#

also my cpu beats the m1 in multi core

#

and im not gonna be gamin on mac so single core doesnt matter

also its a mobile chip

not a laptop/desktop chip

or have a 3k series

and its kinda cheap

fossil cedar

It's like 160?

what abt mem topo on those 2 other boards, have yet to look at them

frank stirrup
fossil cedar
frank stirrup
#

looks dont matter when it comes to perf

frank stirrup
fossil cedar
#

Yeah but that's extra money they could just get the normal airflow model

frank stirrup
#

They might have their reasons tbf

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
fossil cedar
#

It's daisy chain

little osprey
#

and unify x us 1dpc

frank stirrup
#

most amd boards are daisy chain iirc

little osprey
#

yep

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

1 dimm per channel no ?

#

hence the 2 dimm slots

#

2 mem channel cpu with 4 dimm board = t topo or dual channel/daisy chain iirc

#

smo confirm not a mem topo guy

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

hah no worries

fossil cedar
#

Is unify x 1dpc

little osprey
#

should’ve said 1dpc

fossil cedar
#

Ahh

Ohh thought it was 4 dim

little osprey

I just checked yeah lol

#

Fair

little osprey
#

low quality my bad oh gee

fossil cedar
#

Is fine lol

frank stirrup
#

having 4 slots woulda been nice tbf

#

even with daisy chain

fossil cedar
#

Yeah leaves room for upgrading

frank stirrup
#

also shouldnt make that much of a difference if you use 1 stick per channel any way

little osprey
#

for mem overclocking? 1dpc is rly dope Sip

#

if just running it xmp then go w whatever

#

The airflow panel is 5$

fossil cedar
#

If it's 5$ its probably the most flimsy damm thing every

#

The one on the airflow model is actually metal

desert gulch
#

yeah

fossil cedar
#

Or very strong plastic but i think metal

desert gulch
#

for 5 bucks quality you're better off cutting out your window screen and using that

fossil cedar
#

Lmao

full atlas
desert gulch
#

at that point its worth just getting airflow one in first place

fossil cedar
#

Shipping is probs gonna be 10$ lol

yeah

#

most likely

Even if shipping is 10$ it would still be 10$ more tho

Hey

cursive tusk
#

Anyone know when future restocks of RTX 30 Series GPU’s might occur

queen dagger
#

no one really knows

cursive tusk
#

I hope that by December I’m able to grab one for MSRP instead of resell price

queen dagger
#

best buy might be the best we have to a possible restock

#

im in the same perdiciment

#

need a 3080

cursive tusk
#

I need a 3060ti

queen dagger
#

oo

#

whats the cpu? jus kinda curious

cursive tusk
#

I recently talked to an Best Buy Agent and he said that common restocks are on Thursday and Friday

queen dagger
#

sounds about right

cursive tusk
queen dagger
#

with a 3060 ti?

cursive tusk
queen dagger
#

i mean it def could game

#

do you have a budget at all?

#

*obv you do everyone does

cursive tusk
#

I mean crypto market is pretty bearish rn so I expect gpus to just plunge in price

cursive tusk
#

Over time

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
queen dagger
#

@cursive tusk watch this stuff if u want like a monthly update. https://youtu.be/_yqzydXAd-k thats the latest one to my knowledge.

#

should be one coming out very soon

fossil cedar
#

3060 tis are best bang for buck so v popular and they are kinda just bad binned 3070s and I'm guessing they're not getting very many bad bins

queen dagger
#

cuz new month

earnest olive
#

really depends on how much you value your time and how desperate you need a gpu

#

i've seen 2080 supers as low as 800 without tax now

#

which is similar perf to a 3060ti

#

3060tis are still hovering 900-1000 no tax

queen dagger
#

damn

earnest olive
#

i don't want to support scalpers but hey if you're that desperate the prices are a lot lower than they used to be

#

3060tis were 1400

queen dagger
#

3080s havent changes :/

cursive tusk
#

I mean the most I am able to pay for a GPU before X-mas is 500 so I’m hoping I could get at least any RTX card.

earnest olive
#

3080s have definitely changed

queen dagger
#

especially the TUF version

#

you sure?

earnest olive
#

used to be 2200-2300 now 1400-1500

#

yes i'm sure i check r/hardwareswap at least 4 times a day

queen dagger
#

i still see them for like 2100 in most places

earnest olive
#

then those places are not worth looking at lol

queen dagger
#

i just blanked out anf forgot how to spell place

earnest olive
#

plenty of 3080s on hws that you can pick up for that price

queen dagger
#

hws?

earnest olive
#

like sure i can go on facebook marketplace and buy an fx 8320 for $200

#

doesn't make it worth $200

queen dagger
#

im an idiot elaborate

earnest olive
#

Remember when eBay was great for used GPUs?

cursive tusk
#

My last resort for a GPU is a GTX 1660 Super for 429.99 it’s still in my Amazon cart. But this is in case I am not able to acquire an RTX GPU before December.

queen dagger
#

i dont even understand how any of that stuff works

they're prob a little lower now

this was at the height of the apocalypse when 3080s were 2300

#

whats 6800 msrp?

earnest olive
#

but there was a really good banh mi place nearby so worth

#

banh mi > gpu tbh

queen dagger
#

theres a tuf 6800 for 1050 shipped

#

englidh

earnest olive
#

meh 6800 is only a tiny bit better than 3070 in raster

#

and nothing else

#

not worth

queen dagger
#

o i thought it would be a 3080 competitor

earnest olive
#

radeon gpu prices have been a giant meme

#

even at msrp

#

the 6800xt is the competitior to 3080 in raster

queen dagger
#

i mean its radeon laugh

earnest olive
#

but with rt/dlss even a 6900xt can't compete with a 3080

queen dagger
#

ouch

earnest olive
#

provided you actually play games that utilize those

#

6900xt trades blows with 3090 at 1440p raster

queen dagger
#

can we all agree the STRIX LC RX 6900 XT looks incredible

fossil cedar

the list price of this oloy ram is $324.74 after tax for me

queen dagger
#

well imma go grab sum stuff to eat brb

earnest olive
#

ive seen some around $650

#

i think it was disc with 1 controller

#

i dont really look at consoles

#

imagine paying double msrp for a console that barely even had any exclusives

#

just play your ps4 for a bit longer Sip

#

people went crazy for cyberpunk ig

#

you can still get like 300 for a ps4 pro

#

oop-

#

basically ps5 KEKW

#

but yeah pretty good deal with all those add ons

#

wonder how it compares to a $380 pc + keyboard + mouse

#

me saving my mom's work laptop from 92c idle

#

😌

#

ah yes i upgraded a customer's old office pc and there was a dead spider inside

#

it instantly disintegrated when i touched it to pick it up

#

wonder how long it w-

#

ok your friend might be a little gross

#

LOL

#

this guy got one spider in his pc in 7 years and i thought that was icky already

#

i was cleaning out the case in front of my air purifier and i watched the air quality indicator drop from good to fair to bad

#

had to wear my mask

#

once a friend called me in a panic cause after moving to a new house her fps in league went from 200 to 8 and stayed there permanently

#

she said she knocked over the pc by accident and thought she broke something

#

i had her show me the temps and it was 101C on all cores idle

#

so i had her open it up

#

the cpu fan cable had gotten jammed into the fan and made it stop spinning

#

so the intel stock cooler was being used as a passive heatsink in a case with no airflow Sip

#

pulled the cable out of the fan and fps went right back up to 200

#

she had an old old prebuilt with one of those late 2000s era office cases

cursive tusk
#

Just bought an NZXT H510 case looks promising

#

oh yeah i could hear her choking on the dust too

fossil cedar

#

:/

earnest olive
#

ironic that you say that while we're talking about bad airflow

#

LOL

cursive tusk
#

and I just came back from Amazon

#

Ain’t no damn way boi

frank stirrup
earnest olive
#

anyways i had her take the case outside to clean it

#

there was a thick layer of dust caked on everything

#

happens when you don't open your pc for 7 years

#

uhh

#

a big 14" circle of thermal paste

#

topped with 5950x pepperoni

frank stirrup
#

The umm one without cheese

fossil cedar
#

@cursive tusk cancel/return the case and get a p360a

cursive tusk
#

Well let’s look at the good side , I can make BBQS on my NZXT case

frank stirrup
#

510 is garbage

earnest olive
#

it would have cost you $0 to stop before saying crunchy

fossil cedar
#

Yep lol

#

P360a same price and way better

earnest olive
#

pls don't tell me you ate them

cursive tusk
#

Damn how long you haven’t opened ip the case

earnest olive
#

i used to have to clean my pc's dust filters every 2 days

#

then i bought an air purifier

#

being your cat's favorite does that to your pc

#

i run mine 24/7

#

left my pc on for 3 months came back don't see any dust

#

yeah it's for my health and for my pc's health

cursive tusk
#

Maybe I should get an air purifier? every time I wake up in the morning there are dust particles on top of my monitor and pc

earnest olive
#

probably

#

best $50 i've ever spent

fossil cedar
#

Really how do they work?

#

And how so cheap

earnest olive
#

it's pretty much just a fan and a filter tbh

#

except it's a better filter than the dust filters in your pc

cursive tusk
#

Doesn’t Dyson have air purifiers ?

#

The same company that makes vacuums

I took it apart in front of the other air purifier downstairs

desert gulch
#

O lol

#

5700xt be nasty

earnest olive
#

my mom saw mine and bought a much bigger one for the living room that also comes with a quality indicator

#

the 5700xt wasn't that nasty

#

it dropped the indicator from good to fair

#

not to poor

desert gulch
#

Nice

earnest olive
#

that 7 year old PC instantly dropped it to poor for like 15 minutes

#

I took that one into my room just to see what the indicator said and it said good so my smaller unit is definitely working

#

my room should be the worst in the house cause it's my cat's favorite place to hang out lol

I literally just downloaded then opened Asus AI Suite 3, clicked 5 way optimisation, all default settings, then clicked start and my pc completely froze on a blank AI Suite 3 progress page. Tried again 3 times, same thing happened, nothing works, screen and everything completely frozen

Why do you want that anyway

And what's it supposed to do?

runic flare

Overclock and tweak cpu and dram automatically

fossil cedar

What cpu and motherboard

#

Usually softwares like that are pretty meh

runic flare
#

i9 10850k and z590-f

fossil cedar
#

For ram overclock go into bios and enable xmp

runic flare
runic flare
#

It tweaks ram voltage I believe

#

Something like that

#

As well as overclock cpu

fossil cedar
#

If you want to overclock your cpu you're gonna need to do that in bios, or download intels software for removing any power limits if you don't want to oc

Is having a high texture fill rate better than having higher clock speeds?

Is it bad to re use ram that was in a different system

Yh

fossil cedar

If you feel like it, i would really try oc it to 3600mhz even if it's cl18

#

But ram oc isn't for everyone

Ehh doesnt rlly matter to much to me im probably gonna be doing light gaming even tho i bought such a good pc

I bought a new cooler for it tho

# fossil cedar Texture fill rate?

Idk, I’m looking at EVGA GPU’s and I’m looking at the difference between the 3060 and the 3060 TI. The 3060 has a faster boost clock but the 3060 Ti has a higher texture fill rate. I’m wondering if a higher texture fill rate is worth it

minor coral

hey let me know when yall are done

cause i dont want to interrupt

meager nacelle

Nice pfp Ven

frank stirrup
meager nacelle
#

Ik, but the specs are identical except for two things

minor coral
#

for sure 😎 🤙

frank stirrup
#

The 3060 has more vram than the 3060ti

#

But the 3060 is faster

fossil cedar
meager nacelle
#

Oh

#

So which would be best from these four?

fossil cedar
# meager nacelle

any 3060 ti that you can get for the least over the msrp of 400$ but as i said before, 3070s are way more common

meager nacelle
rich helm
#

3070 is better than 3060ti

#

Worse value though

meager nacelle
#

Yep ik, and I don’t need a 3070

#

I don’t play super high demand games and kinda on a budget

fossil cedar
#

theres like a 10% gap between 3060 ti and 3070

#

then aim for 3060

#

3060 ti if you can

#

but any 3060 or 3060 ti

fossil cedar
meager nacelle
#

Ah ok

#

Thanks for the help guys

frank stirrup
#

One of the 3060tis has lhr

meager nacelle
#

What’s the LHR stand for?

frank stirrup
#

All 4 use the same cooler iirc

frank stirrup
#

Bad for mining

meager nacelle
#

Oh so hash rate won’t affect gaming at all?

rich helm
#

It won’t

frank stirrup
#

Nope

frank stirrup
#

Lhr only drops hash rate while crypto mining

meager nacelle
#

Oh

fossil cedar
frank stirrup
meager nacelle
#

So if I mine with the card it lowers the hash rate, but if I do anything else nothing changes

frank stirrup
#

No memory modules on the back to cool

#

Cosmetic only

meager nacelle
#

is a metal backplate better than one that’s not metal?

frank stirrup
#

3090 on the other hand absolutely needs a backplate

#

Because rear mem modules

frank stirrup
#

Doesn’t matter to perf

fossil cedar

Oh so no cooling or performance changes

@fossil cedar @frank stirrup this list was good right

pato is aslep I reign supreme!

hehe

#

You shooting for a white build @icy kestrel?

icy kestrel
#

Yeah

#

Kind of

frank stirrup

#

Lemme see

But the one I have is good right

frank stirrup

yep

Can I see the cheaper one

#

That’s not white

sage crown

Is this good or bad

frank stirrup
#

B series board with k series cpu is bad

icy kestrel
#

It’s outa my budget

frank stirrup
#

Thats a better build

#

Cheaper and better

#

since Z series board for K series cpu

icy kestrel
#

I can’t change the gpu I already have the white 3070 asus

OH WAIT

IM DUMDUM

I FORGOT WAM

#

dw i got u

frank stirrup
#

@icy kestrel

#

there

#

same price but gooderer

icy kestrel
#

@frank stirrup I changed the ram case and cooler too white but is there a cheaper mobo

frank stirrup
#

since you have a K skew cpu

#

z series board is necessary

#

and a decent one at that

icy kestrel
#

Do I need a 850w?

frank stirrup
#

nah you can get away with a 750

#

lemme add one

icy kestrel
#

Oh and I’ve never found out what’s a decent amount of total wats

frank stirrup
#

also I recommend a 280mm aio instead of a 240

#

I would do that

icy kestrel
#

What’s the difference in 240 and 280

#

@frank stirrup and what more wats affect

frank stirrup
icy kestrel
#

Wattage

frank stirrup
#

like how does having a higher wattage psu help?

icy kestrel
#

Yeah

frank stirrup
#

See each component draws a specific amount of power. as long as ur psu can output that much, you really dont need a higher wattage psu

#

Like in ur case unless you really OC, you will see no difference between a 750W unit and a 1200W unit

icy kestrel
#

Is 240 and 280mm a big difference

#

Can’t I just get some fans

desert gulch
#

its all surface area

icy kestrel
#

Is this cooler worse or the same

desert gulch
#

worse

#

basically 240 vs 280

#

ratio wise

#

is 28800

#

vs 39200

#

so its like a 1/3 increase in surface area, which is huge

icy kestrel
#

I meant is it worse than the one in my last list

frank stirrup
#

the galahad 240 beats that 240mm cooler

fossil cedar

He has a 240mm galahad

in the list

im suggesting the 280mm freezer over that

360mm galahad is the best aio

icy kestrel
#

I put the 240 in there cause I wanted some rgb

#

And the 3 fan lian I would have to mount to the front

Also TWO, the server end.. Well; I and or we depending. Would use it for a Mining pool. 🙂 If you want to point me or tell me specs to build or view to purchase. Please DO SO!! If you want to add us/I and help FURTHER that would be payed for 🙂 Thanks! Not a bot just need help ha-ha
