u said u carry a 26 inch tv around with you
and an xbox
and a pc
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
Ok troll
My TV is still in my bag
i mean
Anybody with 3x8pin gpu, how did y'all route the cables to look pretty?
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
The rest is hooked up in my living room right now
When I go I have so much in the bag the handles are starting to rip
He's just a chad who uses a sturdy gym bag
hes the pokemon protag fitting a bicycle in his backpack lmao
Just do what I did, get the Cougar Panzer max. It has handles.
Everything else goes in the backpack
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
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
It's so nice my TV just fits in there like a glove
I can also fit my two laptops as well for when looking things up on them
Best free bag ever
Nice
Yea I am just tired of playing bedrock alone
I need to find a bag for my ps5 but I'm scared to put it in anything
I kinda wish they would have stayed with the square body
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*
Just wait a little, prices are going back to normal
yea my pc build i almost up to 3000
and i just lost my job everything is going just lovely
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?
What's your budget? And you just want an i5
i7 and i9 overkill for both
something like an i5 11400 will do fine as pato suggested
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
nothing will happen
it won't turn on
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
Really? Why is there even a need for those then? I see them in gaming systems but I guess I don’t understand the need then.
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"
Will a aigo ac240 aio work for a 5800x
Kinda jus bought a cheap one ;-;
Now im unsure
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
LMAO im an idiot it literally says for intel in the thing
Well check to see, might just be a branding thing like ram for intel kinda thing
For mounting hardware, it's one or the other, especially for cheaper coolers, but yea, check still.
Ohh yeah forgot they did that sometimes
@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
did you kill it?
not killed but degraded
I’m about to get a 5800x and know nothing about over clocking. Can you explain this more?
ELI5
how can you tell how far youve degraded a chip?
corecycler errors
I'll explain more when I'm done eating
I'll ping you
so how long on that oc would it take to kill it?
A long time to really kill a chip
alright here's the ELI5
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"
Pretty sure psycho pulled like 1.65v through a 3900x under ln2 for benching for like a month and it lived but degraded to bell
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
Ok, but if I choose to OC and use the PBO I should be fine?
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
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
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
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
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
how long have people been waiting for their PC?
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
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q1ZVXG4 would go well
Buy MSI MAG B550 Torpedo Gaming Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, Dual M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI/DP, ATX, AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Processors): Motherboards - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
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
Is this for your build or a flip?
my build
Hm you can always just fry it and then rma probably
I kinda doubt it's power delivery/vrms would handle a overclocked 5900x
Maybe it could but I mean with pbo and stuff idk
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
Rip 5800x, what are you gonna do with current one?
dunno i'll figure it out
thinking ill try to rma and then sell the other in a flip
or just sell it
Fair enough
https://newegg.io/c7fae65 can someone check if this is fine like everything is compatible
Think you sent the wrong link, but use https://pcpartpicker.com/list instead
oki wait lemme redo then ima send
👍
Lemme fix it
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wCrkMv do this, then you can add in a gpu later on, if it has to be a gt 1030 make sure it's not the ddr4 version
oki ty
Why not? The B550 Mortar is basically a Torpedo, but worse, with 4x2+2 of ISL99360's, and is considered able to max out a 5950x on ambient.
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
Bq psu meh tbh
Sorry :/
@desert gulch components to be specific for mortar vs torpedo
its fine for a system like that tbh
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
But segotep gp
fair fair
keep in mind blue means good for the tier on this tier list, and the tiers here
Me have good tier B then
there
fixed it gooderer
can the case be the same one i chose before?
I mean it can, but why have you already got it?
no im making this list thingy for the future so yah
Huh? Wdym
What's that got anything to do with the case
how far into the future
very far
Then you'll need a completely new list, come a lot closer to the time as things change
no point in planning rn then
prices change
part availability changes
Pato and Rawr the goat
You guys help me

ooo ok ok
yeah i doubt i'll find a 3080 for under $1500 even used not until prices start falling more
You can get scalped 3080s for 1.1k or so, that would be 3080 ti price
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
You could fit a 1.1k card into a 3k budget easily, send me your parts list and i can help you out
i have 2.5k budget
But you can wait but you'll be waiting a year or 2
Pato
Rawr
would it be possible to fit 1.1k into a 5800x or 5900x build?
no
It would be but wouldnt work well
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
i have the parts list i made and the one someone here edited for me which one would you like?
3080
Nope for 1.1k you either go intel i5 11400/11500/11600k or ryzen 5 5600x
Ik ye
Either or tbh
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
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wnx3TJ this is the edited one with a 3080 and 5900x
Your budget is 2.5k and what will you be using the pc for?
And you are from the us right?
gaming, 3d graphics design, engine development
Okay
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
Do you need any motherboard features like wifi etc?
not wifi but i definitely want bios flashback
what 3d software do you use?
That's fine just sometimes ppl from eu use pc part picker for america
i always use ethernet
Ahh yeah that's an ofc and on any good board basically anyway
blender, but the game engine im working on is built to use the cpu and gpu to their limits
right
it uses both vulkan and direct3D 12
then a 5900x would be really advantagous
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++
if not for that, I would say rather spend more on the GPU
@zenith ore how much storage you want btw?
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
Okay grand
i will be over clocking as well
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
Woops thought it was 32
@zenith ore https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xFz3TJ
Just under 2.5k
it will be a little over after tax but i think that will work thank you
Ohh hold on i can get it at 2.5k with tax then 1 sec, you said 6% tax right?
$2,646.70
that's the total
that should be fine
just an extra hundred bucks pretty much
@zenith ore if you want if you go 500gb m.2 it will bring it down to almost 2500
Also i can change to a cheaper case
@zenith ore https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gds2y4 here that's like 50$ over
With tax
this is sweet
Thanks
$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?
It's a bit of a 50 50
Sometimes it will work
rather be prepared for it than not
Sometimes it will need bios update
It depends how long the specific board you get shipped has sat on the shelf tbh
okay if it doesn't work when i put it together my friend has an r5 3600 i could use to update the bios
Nah most probably all have em at this point
its been more than half a year
Yeah but it could have been sitting their for a while ya don't know really but it should be okay, i would flash the bios anyway if it's like the 5000 release bios anyway
No need, the board has bios flashback, you just need to follow the specific flashback process for your board and you're all good
Doesn't need a cpu in the board to do it
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
and post pics.
Wait is that the m1 mac version?
its available on x86 macs
Ahh i see
none of them have ryzen cpus tho
there hasnt been a mac in existance using ryzen cpus
Ik ya, fair play lol
that's the plan!
They don’t need to m14 bionic is more powerful

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
m14 bionic isnt a thing
doubt it
a14 more likely
lol
also my cpu beats the m1 in multi core
lol
and im not gonna be gamin on mac so single core doesnt matter
Yh a14
for overclocking it’s unify x or bust

a14 isnt as good as my cpu
lol
also its a mobile chip
not a laptop/desktop chip
mr1 says it will work ig
lol nop
tuf gaming x570 plus can OC a 5900x on aio
gotta get the pro
or have a 3k series
pro has bios flashback, plus wont
Think they meant a14 bionic but that's only for the iPads lol
Completely false, there's a lottttt of great 150$ish boards that could handle that, msi mpg gaming plus b550 for example, unless you mean ln2 overclocking which in that case you're going with the rog crosshair
The b550 version can as well
The b550 might actually have better vrms i can't recall tho
mr1 said b550 torpedo can
Ye exactly
and its kinda cheap
It's like 160?
cheaper
Buy MSI MAG B550 Torpedo Gaming Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, Dual M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI/DP, ATX, AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Processors): Motherboards - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
120
b550 boards in general have better vrms model to model compared to x570
like x570 elite to b550 elite
Yep but a rare few have better x570 than b550
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2bMTwP/corsair-4000d-atx-mid-tower-case-cc-9011199-ww should I cop this case for this pc (and an airflow panel)
If airflow panel, insta buy
but unify x seggzy asf board
what abt mem topo on those 2 other boards, have yet to look at them
makes 0 difference to performance
No just get the 4000d airflow
looks dont matter when it comes to perf
he said he gettin an airflow panel
Yeah but that's extra money they could just get the normal airflow model
They might have their reasons tbf
It looks the exact same as gaming plus mpg lol
Ehh i can't recall off top of head lemme check

most amd boards are daisy chain iirc
yep
1dcp?
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
Ohh right I've just never heard of it being shortened to 1dcp
hah no worries
Is unify x 1dpc
should’ve said 1dpc
Ahh
pretty positive ti is
Ohh thought it was 4 dim
was a typo lol
low quality my bad oh gee
Is fine lol
Yeah leaves room for upgrading
also shouldnt make that much of a difference if you use 1 stick per channel any way
That’s more expensive
By like 15$, by the time you get an airflow panel it's gonna be the same if not cheaper to get the 4000d airflow
The airflow panel is 5$
Lets see it?
If it's 5$ its probably the most flimsy damm thing every
The one on the airflow model is actually metal
yeah
Or very strong plastic but i think metal
for 5 bucks quality you're better off cutting out your window screen and using that
Lmao
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/4000D-Airflow-Front-Panel%2C-Black/p/CC-8900440 basically 5$ + shipping, it is hard to get Bc it’s not in stock often tho
at that point its worth just getting airflow one in first place
Shipping is probs gonna be 10$ lol
Just get the airflow model or get a p360a or something instead
Even if shipping is 10$ it would still be 10$ more tho
No lol
Yes…
its cause of a mir
for 20 bucks
60+ 15 = 75
No mir
on the 4000d non airflow there is
Ohh it was 75
I would use it tho
Ohh
I was talking about the non airflow but yeah
I mean if you can get the front airflow panel first, then sure
I’m pretty sure the Corsair mir makes you sign up for Corsair spam mail tho lol
Then just unsubscribe
Rawr
Sure gimme 10 min to get my lazy ass outta bed
Sure sure take your time
neo air >
50 usd rn
dope case
fair that too
some enthusiast boards go 2 dimm slots for better overclocking
most users aren't overclocking ram high enough for it to matter so 4 slots is nice
but it's not necessarily a bad decision just a niche one
Hey
Hey
Anyone know when future restocks of RTX 30 Series GPU’s might occur
no one really knows
I hope that by December I’m able to grab one for MSRP instead of resell price
best buy might be the best we have to a possible restock
im in the same perdiciment
need a 3080
I need a 3060ti
I recently talked to an Best Buy Agent and he said that common restocks are on Thursday and Friday
sounds about right
i5-9400F
with a 3060 ti?
Yea
I mean crypto market is pretty bearish rn so I expect gpus to just plunge in price
Gl with that, 3060 tis are rare af, you're most likely getting a 3060 or 3070 they are way more popular
Rlly? Huh
Yep
@cursive tusk watch this stuff if u want like a monthly update. https://youtu.be/_yqzydXAd-k thats the latest one to my knowledge.

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - https://geni....
should be one coming out very soon
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
cuz new month
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
damn
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
3080s havent changes :/
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.
3080s have definitely changed
used to be 2200-2300 now 1400-1500
yes i'm sure i check r/hardwareswap at least 4 times a day
i still see them for like 2100 in most places
then those places are not worth looking at lol
i just blanked out anf forgot how to spell place
plenty of 3080s on hws that you can pick up for that price
hws?
like sure i can go on facebook marketplace and buy an fx 8320 for $200
doesn't make it worth $200
im an idiot elaborate
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.
ive heard good and bad things about this stuff...
i've done almost my entire build using parts from here
any problems are resolved by seller quickly
except one open dispute right now but i have mods and paypal on it

buyer protection is neat
guy sold me a lian li galahad 360 (best aio on the market) for $90
i dont even understand how any of that stuff works
i showed him a scratch on the cpu block
he refunded me $63
LOL
get a top tier liquid cooler for $30

OO
still barely cools the portable sun that is the 5800x
newegg is selling the tuf 3080 for 880 again not 1050
although i would havbe to win the lottery
It kinda sucks cause I’ve had a gtx 970 for like 5 years
newegg shuffle prices have been getting kinda sus
True haha
ive seen several shuffle cards that were actually more expensive than scalpers
make sure you are cleaning and taking care of it
give it a repaste if you haven't already
now would be a terrible time for gpu to die


i bought a gtx 970 for my gf's esports build
sounded like a vacuum cleaner as soon as i turned it on
how much are 970s? in the current market
sure enough seller said he had never opened it
i got a 970 strix for 180
they're prob a little lower now
this was at the height of the apocalypse when 3080s were 2300
but she was tired of dropping to 3 fps in league on her craptop lol what can you do
i'd expect them to be more like 160 now
haven't seen any listed recently
people post what they have for sale and if it's shipped or local
if it's shipped they'll send you a paypal g&s invoice so you can have buyer protection
i basicly live in antarctica so how would that work?
(i live in very scarce us place)
like 10x more trees than people
you're fine
maine
exactly
maine look good in autumn
anyway
should
time to scroll thought here all day and dehydrate myself
99% of shipping posts are full continental US
when you said basically antarctica i thought you meant falkland islands lmao
1700 no tax remember
so it's barely above msrp
$70 more than msrp with my city's sales tax rate
isnt 3080ti msrp 1500?
yay i was right
o damn
300 https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/oealht/usafl_h_corsair_vengeance_lpx_64gb_ddr4_ram/
for that
not bad imo
c16
Rip off
not the worst price tbh
ram prices are going up
that's $75 per 16gb with aftermarket rgb heatsinks
pick me up something?
exactly
last time i drove 20 mins to microcenter cause they said 5700xt was in stock
it was not in stock
whats 6800 msrp?
meh 6800 is only a tiny bit better than 3070 in raster
and nothing else
not worth
o i thought it would be a 3080 competitor
radeon gpu prices have been a giant meme
even at msrp
the 6800xt is the competitior to 3080 in raster
i mean its radeon 
but with rt/dlss even a 6900xt can't compete with a 3080
ouch
provided you actually play games that utilize those
6900xt trades blows with 3090 at 1440p raster
can we all agree the STRIX LC RX 6900 XT looks incredible
64gb of 3200 is like ehhh 320 brand new?
where
346.39 cheapest like i said
and no rgb
idk have u seen this bad boy
why
That's 3600
we are assuming that aesthetics have value (so 4x16 rgb beats 2x32 non-rgb) and also you have to consider tax
also thats very ugly imo but ik looks<performance
regardless of whether or not aesthetics have value to you, they do on the general market
Ehh true i suppose i didn't realize you we're talking bout rgb
the list price of this oloy ram is $324.74 after tax for me
well imma go grab sum stuff to eat brb
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 
people went crazy for cyberpunk ig
you can still get like 300 for a ps4 pro
oop-
basically ps5 
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 
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
Just bought an NZXT H510 case looks promising
oh yeah i could hear her choking on the dust too

No it's an oven
promising as a pizza oven
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
The umm one without cheese
@cursive tusk cancel/return the case and get a p360a
Well let’s look at the good side , I can make BBQS on my NZXT case
510 is garbage
it would have cost you $0 to stop before saying crunchy
Damn how long you haven’t opened ip the case
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

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
it's pretty much just a fan and a filter tbh
except it's a better filter than the dust filters in your pc
Goddammit i just bot a new fan (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Yep they do

i mean i can't say if it's the best one out there but it's working well for me
Very but they hardly make noise and heat too so
nice lmk
Yes but it does look like a good investment for our health
I think a normal one is just as good lol
For sure
Did it work well when you took apart 5700xt?
I took it apart in front of the other air purifier downstairs
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
Nice
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
Lol
What you guys play
pcpartpicker
pato plays that more and is better at it than I am
Yep
Me and pato overtook falcie rank wise tho
i put my build in #build-pics if yall wanna see it
Lmao
I SEE AMONG US
H510
also this ^
actually let me try without a light on so no more glare happens
jus saying can yall dm/ping me if you see a TUF 3080 on hws
What’s hws
prob only going to have local ones on hws
i dont think there is even a place you could get it in my state
Pc instantly freezing after pressing start in 5 way optimisation on AI Suite 3?
Can hou send a pic? That's not very specific
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
Yeah but i want to see context cuz i have no idea what 5 way optimization is supposed to mean
It's the option in the software
Yeah but i want to see what it looks like because idk what asus ai suite 3 is like
Overclock and tweak cpu and dram automatically
i9 10850k and z590-f
For ram overclock go into bios and enable xmp
I have no idea about overclocking I just build my first pc
Yes that's done
It tweaks ram voltage I believe
Something like that
As well as overclock cpu
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
Hop into #overclocking for help if you do
Usually auto software for that is pretty crappy anyway and will do something bad for your pc
That's true, wanted to do that as a starter
What do I ask? How to overclock?
Ehh just ask what people would recommend for an overclock on a 10850k with your motherboard and what cooler you have
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
Its also been sitting around for about 5 months
Nothing wrong with that, as long as you're not putting like 3000mhz ram into Ryzen 3000 or 5000
Texture fill rate?
Its 3200mhz into a 5000 the prebuild i got only comes w 1 stick so im swapping it
Prebuild was a rlly good price had to buy it
3200 isn't optimal but it's basically free cuz you had it spare
Yh
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
That's fair it's just wasted potential
Ntb
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
Nice pfp Ven
TI beats normal any day if the week
Ik, but the specs are identical except for two things
for sure 😎 🤙
no idea what that is, probs a marketing term but the 3060 ti is better but the 3060 ti is rare af, most likely gonna get a 3060 or 3070
3060ti smashes 3060 in performance
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
Oh so even if the specs don’t show a big difference, the 3060 Ti will still be better. But the 3070 is more common to get a hold of
Yep ik, and I don’t need a 3070
I don’t play super high demand games and kinda on a budget
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
the only differences between all the cards are the coolers, thats it
Nah. The difference between the 2 3060s was one had a metal backplate the other didnt
One of the 3060tis has lhr
What’s the LHR stand for?
All 4 use the same cooler iirc
Oh so hash rate won’t affect gaming at all?
It won’t
Nope
well performance wise
Lhr only drops hash rate while crypto mining
Oh
also that falls under cooling imo
They use the same cooler
So if I mine with the card it lowers the hash rate, but if I do anything else nothing changes
Backplate does nothing for the 3060
No memory modules on the back to cool
Cosmetic only
is a metal backplate better than one that’s not metal?
Cosmetic only
Doesn’t matter to perf
i meant between all 3060s not just evgas
Oh so no cooling or performance changes
Nop
Dope*
it only lowers the hash rate in etheruem, so you coul still use nicehash to mine at basically full speed
ik but it could be classed as cooling, also theres still the solder points of the mem
Nicehash mines ethereum doesn’t it
it mines the most profitable coin for your gpu, so you can mine raven etc and get paid btc which is more stable
Not significant enough to matter imo
no but its there
hey guys are zotac gaming gpus good?
Yep
ya i have a zotac 2060 and it's good
just gotta repad it if it's a 3080 or higher and you're mining
otherwise you're good
anyone hear any rumor/leaked stats of 3050/ti?
yeah
Jensen Huang just confirmed the release of new 3050ti desktop variants, with the Founders Edition launching 7/16/2021 on the major retailers.
read up
I’d be willing to bet it’ll be on par with a 1650/60
pato is aslep I reign supreme!
hehe
You shooting for a white build @icy kestrel?
If you arent going for an all white, i cut cut costs quite a bit
yep
Is this good or bad
OH WAIT NO
B series board with k series cpu is bad
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rR8pcT
This is if you wanna go white
It’s outa my budget
I can’t change the gpu I already have the white 3070 asus
trash price for that ssd
I used that 3070 as a general any 3070
OH WAIT
IM DUMDUM
I FORGOT WAM
dw i got u
@frank stirrup I changed the ram case and cooler too white but is there a cheaper mobo
Wouldnt recommend
since you have a K skew cpu
z series board is necessary
and a decent one at that
Do I need a 850w?
Oh and I’ve never found out what’s a decent amount of total wats
280 cools better
wat?
Wattage
like how does having a higher wattage psu help?
Yeah
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
worse
basically 240 vs 280
ratio wise
is 28800
vs 39200
so its like a 1/3 increase in surface area, which is huge
I meant is it worse than the one in my last list
yes
the galahad 240 beats that 240mm cooler
Pop the z490/z590 prime in there and it will be g
I am confusion
pato is going through old messages
no wait nvm
hes drunk
No u
look this one
pato moment
I forgot to add wam in the one u replied to
Not really i would take 360 galahad over 280 arctic
Also pop pilot e in there
No
Lol
He has a 240mm galahad
in the list
im suggesting the 280mm freezer over that
360mm galahad is the best aio
I put the 240 in there cause I wanted some rgb
And the 3 fan lian I would have to mount to the front
@icy kestrel this build is just for gaming right? And what's the budget you're going with again?
I seee my b didn't see the change
Lol
Yes just gaming and school and It was 1775 but I decided to go with a i7 1875
Okay
@icy kestrel do you want to overclock at all?
@icy kestrel https://pcpartpicker.com/list/33TGCz if you don't wanna overclock
any power supply recommendations for 700W
MSI A-GF 750w
Yeah ima oc
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3xy6Hz then this
@fossil cedar why don’t I just do this for more storage https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B9mXcT
Because hard drives are incredibly slow
You can add a hard drive later but you want windows and your most used programs on an ssd
Not that bad
As long as you have a boot ssd you can hdd everything else
Yeah but that list has no boot ssd
Hello! I need to build a PC or server computer cheaply as possible. What for?... Well; ONE , I or we need a 1-3 GPU or CPU mining rig or spec'd out PC that would mine Raven Coin well. 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

Ha-ha
Wym. You are asking for something to do with crypto
Boot to linux usb bootable

Woops nvm
I thought this was crypto channel and different convo
Any good rgb fans? Are corsair ones good? And exactly which ones?
Artic p12 rgb
Corsair does make some decent fans but at 30+ a fan it hurts the wallet
can someone help me find a good gpu, cpu(not rlly needed i dont think), ramsticks, and a ssd(but not a m.2 one already bought one not compatable with my current pc)
i think i got scammed by the guy i bought my pc from
Wdym you don't need a cpu?
And for what use and budget?
well i already have one
for gaming and i have a budget of about 1000 dollars
@fossil cedar
Ehh btw change your name mb
It's nsfw not allowed
oh



i am
