[fossil cedar]

Ehh but p360a is nice

[full atlas]

Well ye it’s nice, but more expensive

[fossil cedar]

True lol

[full atlas]

Considering they both come with basically the same stock fans, both come in black or white, both have decent airflow, but p360a has better too rad compatibility I’m pretty sure

[marble whale]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pwPtGq

lol

[fossil cedar]

Not good bro

@marble whale get this https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-mage-e-ala106/p/N82E16883102696R?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=0

[full atlas]

Impressive to se a good ssd in a prebuilt like that

[fossil cedar]

@marble whale https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k3FF2V this, but i would get the prebuilt, 1660 for that price is

[fossil cedar]

Idk how good the ssd is but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full atlas]

It’s a good sata drive

Sm2258

[fossil cedar]

Ohh i couldn't see the drive name?

[full atlas]

It’s the team l5 lite 3d

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

[frank stirrup]

Thats a ryzen 3…

[zinc ermine]

pretty sure the mx330-g only has 1 included fan at the rear

id get the df700 flux instead

[stoic island]

mx330-g air comes with 3

[zinc ermine]

oh

my mistake then

[stoic island]

mx330-g non-air comes with just 1

[echo vale]

is there a way to test the enermax revo df psu without plugging into important components so they dont get fried if its defective

[stoic island]

uh

paperclip test

and also, PSUs do go through a lot of testing so the failure rate is quite small

[echo vale]

ahh kk

if i was to do paperclip how would i go about it

[stoic island]

https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025085372-How-to-Test-a-power-supply-unit

[echo vale]

tyty

[fossil cedar]

It just test that it turns on tho

[stoic island]

they want to check if the psu will just blow up if you plug anything in afaik

[fossil cedar]

Fair enough lol

[echo vale]

mhm

[vague oracle]

Unless it’s a PGM

[stoic island]

p-gm n1 w1 etc are outliers

they like to either burn or blow up

[desert gulch]

Meh I'd use a P-GM 850 in my build anyday

[vague oracle]

I’d just one in a build on the 4th of July instead of fireworks

[desert gulch]

As long as you don't overload the pgm it's honestly a great psu

[stoic island]

meh

I hate it because once you overload it

boom

literally boom

[desert gulch]

Yeah

Just don't overload it

Ez

[stoic island]

transient

and also, when it blew up in testing, it was after being overloaded, not like it reached 1500w and then blew up

[desert gulch]

Yeah

[stoic island]

it reached some threshold that may be smaller than you think

that will make it blow up

[desert gulch]

It's protectiond aren't the best

But for a build like mine it'd do great

[stoic island]

the issue stands we don't know what exactly the issue is

we know it died after overload testing, but which part of overload testing killed it?

[desert gulch]

Isn't it just the ocp?

[stoic island]

no

[desert gulch]

Does it even have ocp

[stoic island]

what happened was they did overload testing, turned it off, when turning it back on, it blew iirc

"How did it die? I increased the load on all rails until the PSU shut down as it should. I left it to cool down and tried to restart it after five minutes, but was treated with fireworks and a loud bang."

[desert gulch]

Weird

[stoic island]

and it was OPP they were testing, but yea

[desert gulch]

So basically if you overload it and it shuts off throw it away lol

And you'll be fine

[stoic island]

we don't know if that's the issue tho

[desert gulch]

Yeah

[stoic island]

maybe if you are pulling just 500w, turn it off, turning it back on will blow up

[desert gulch]

Has gn done a review on Jakes pgm?

[stoic island]

gn hasn't published a p-gm piece yet afaik

[desert gulch]

Sad

Jake sent them his a long time ago

[stoic island]

we saw one blow up a few weeks back during a hardware news recap lol

[desert gulch]

Lol

[stoic island]

mid-video that was just a bam

[desert gulch]

I bet the verge will recommend pgm to everyone

I haven't seen the verge pc builder dude for a long time lol

Ever since that vid

[stoic island]

oh and apparently the ovp was bad too

[desert gulch]

What's ovp again?

Over voltage?

[stoic island]

ye

and looks like pwr_ok is really bad too

bad hold up time

[desert gulch]

Sad

Especially when they went thru all the work to make a gold fully modular lol

[stoic island]

meh

[desert gulch]

On the box I'm sure most ppl think it's good

It's box specs look p good

[stoic island]

*Went through the trouble of making someone else make a PSU for them

[desert gulch]

Lol yeah

[stoic island]

apparently the oem for p-gm is 'MEIC'

[desert gulch]

Who's that?

[stoic island]

dunno

never heard of them before

[desert gulch]

Explains why it's bad then

[subtle tundra]

Yo

[vague oracle]

Basically velocity’s Ethernet and wifi ain’t working

Any ideas yall?

[desert gulch]

Looks like a new company

[desert gulch]

Drivers

Check for controls on wifi, like parental controls restricting new devices

[stoic island]

mmm

[stoic island]

velocity? b550 velocita?

[desert gulch]

Ur turning into jp

[stoic island]

?

[subtle tundra]

Yeah that’s my guess I turned off and on my pc and then my WiFi symbol is gone and Ethernet does not work too

[desert gulch]

Velocity is a person mr1

[stoic island]

oh

person

lol

[desert gulch]

Was it working before

[subtle tundra]

Yeah my pc was working fine for months but now it’s like if it’s drivers erased itself

[stoic island]

could be windows screwing with you too

[desert gulch]

Try shut down and restart

[vague oracle]

^

[desert gulch]

Like full shut down

[vague oracle]

I don’t think drivers are missing because the wifi adapters show up in device manager

[subtle tundra]

Is there a way to re-download the drivers but into a usb I know you can do bios like that but does it work the same way?

I shut it down now

[desert gulch]

Ok

Then turn it back on

I've had drivers oof and restart has always fixed it

[stoic island]

just download driver files onto the usb and move the files on to the pc and run the installation application on the pc

and you could do the ipconfig things

[desert gulch]

But do that after trying restart

[subtle tundra]

Question were would someone move those files for them to work

[stoic island]

do the whole
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

[stoic island]

I mean like download the driver files from your laptop or something, move them onto the drive

[vague oracle]

Anywhere, they’re usually .exes

[stoic island]

and then just move them off

and use the exe to install

[subtle tundra]

I turned off (shut down) my pc but is it the same as shut down restart?

[desert gulch]

Yeah

[stoic island]

it works

[desert gulch]

I mean just shut down then start again

It should fix it

[subtle tundra]

Okay nothing worked after shutting down whats ipconfig

[stoic island]

run cmd as administrator

and do those three commands in order one by one

[subtle tundra]

Is it something thrown run

Okay gotchu

[native jacinth]

Any thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ColinPC565556/saved/#view=tqQQP6

[stoic island]

what's with the nzxt fans

kinda annoying

could just go with p360a and no extra fans

and swap the cooler for smth else

either ek-aio, galahad, or freezer ii

[vague oracle]

Mr1111 could you send a screenshot of the list?

[stoic island]

nzxt not great aios

[vague oracle]

My internet doesn’t like webpages rn

[stoic island]

their list

[vague oracle]

Thanks

[stoic island]

b550-e kinda expensive

[vague oracle]

Yeah I’d just swap out the AIO for an Arctic freezer II, Lian Li Galahad, or EK AIO. Fans for RGB P12s and the PSU for an Enermax Revolution DF

And ram for crucial Ballistix RGB because I’m pretty sure that’s the Hynix die tridentZ

[stoic island]

or just go p360a or p400a or p500a or td500 mesh and not have to get extra fans tbh xD

[vague oracle]

True true

[subtle tundra]

Would I put these codes together or enter them separately.

[vague oracle]

Or a Lancool II Mesh RGB

[vague oracle]

Seperate

[stoic island]

separately

[desert gulch]

Stop being a Phanteks shill, 4000d airflow and 5000d airflow exist aswell smh

Phanteks should change their name to Fantechs lol

[vague oracle]

But buying a Phanteks or Lian Li comes with RGB fans, 4000 d doesn’t hehe

Saves money

[desert gulch]

Cringe

Have fun with your shattered side panel the second you take it off

[vague oracle]

But the Lancool II’s doesn’t come off

[desert gulch]

When it breaks it will

Lian li moment

[vague oracle]

Can’t you say the same about the 4000d?

[desert gulch]

Nah

Lian LI more likely to have glass shatter

[stoic island]

what

[stoic island]

price

4000d airflow is same price as p360a, and which one comes with more fans?

which one comes with rgb fans?

answer me

[vague oracle]

Aren’t they both tempered glass?????

[subtle tundra]

Hey I’ve put them separately and ipconfig release says “no opperation can be performed on WiFi while it has its media disconnected

[stoic island]

the heck

[vague oracle]

^

[stoic island]

then try just ipconfig /renew

[subtle tundra]

Also no operation… on Bluetooth network connection 2 while it has its media disconnected

[stoic island]

hm

[desert gulch]

Uhhh 4000d does if you "lose" the stock fans off the p360a

[subtle tundra]

Yeah I’ve tried both they gave both msgs

[stoic island]

what

[vague oracle]

What?

I’m confused lol

[subtle tundra]

I guess ima have to hard restart

[desert gulch]

Don't worry Abt it

[stoic island]

could be reset cmos time

[desert gulch]

Just learn that Corsair cases are the best

[stoic island]

though it sounds more like a windows issue

[stoic island]

just learn that corsair sucks

[vague oracle]

Don’t think you used a Lancool II Mesh

The thing kills Corsair cases

[desert gulch]

Don't talk trash on my cx650m 😭😭😭

[stoic island]

whine

ripple

voltreg

efficiency

[vague oracle]

Boom roasted

[desert gulch]

My cx650m chooses to identify as an a tier non whining 80+ platinum

Now what you gonna do Abt it?

[subtle tundra]

You know what could be but I really appreciate this community and the help you guys gave me 🐐

[vague oracle]

Choose a PSU that actually identifies as an A tier

[desert gulch]

Mine does tho

[vague oracle]

Does it actually?

[desert gulch]

It told me so

It was "whining" about being a c tier earlier lol

[vague oracle]

It whispered to you on the shelf “pick me, pick me, I’m an A tier”

[desert gulch]

Doesn't whisper

Whines

Lol

[stoic island]

:)

[sinful vessel]

anybody know an actually good wifi/network cards? (ex: TP link archer tx50e but this is only an example of what type of card i’m referring to, not the exact card i want since i have that one right now and it’s super annoying)

please ping me if you have an answer or suggestion

[little osprey]

I'm looking to build my first computer. I have the parts priced out on PCPartPicker.com

[wide vigil]

So I'm looking to build a low end pc for a friend. He wants a compact atx case what would be some good options?

[tiny oriole]

@hollow grail what do you even use servers for? If you don't mind me asking :p

[little osprey]

what exact size do you define "compact" as?

[wide vigil]

@little osprey he was kind of looking around the cooler master HAF XB size.

[fleet pagoda]

Whats an app where i can check all mu specs

[sleek knot]

anyone use corsair commander pro

[steep fern]

@sleek knot I used it in the past

[sleek knot]

can you help me set it up i did something wrong and im not sure

@steep fern

[steep fern]

What are ya having problems with?

[shrewd fjord]

@fossil cedar @stoic island sorry for ping you guys but you have helped me so much I can trust your opinions

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CmPbMv okay I have been debating doing an AMD build instead of Intel. So please me hear what I need to change because I just made this from scratch

Compare the AMD to this intel one https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Everlast05/saved/dsct7P

[hollow grail]

Work and also hosting personal projects

[earnest olive]

eye twitch

another 3600 for above $200

[brisk mountain]

guys i need help

[tiny oriole]

Oh I see, thank you.

It would be nice to find work for something computer related that isn't tech support lmao

[hollow grail]

It's fun

I used to host vps

That's a fun place to start getting experience in datacanters

[brisk mountain]

hey guys i’ve just finished my first build, here are the parts in the system as of now (3060, 10600k, z590-p, 1tb samsung ssd 980, cnps10x optima, 16 gig crucial ballistix, NE650M, montech x3 mesh) and i get no boot but all power does go to the components. the gpu fan does seem to turn off after being on for a few secs. one of my friends said this could be because of the group regulated unit i paired with my 10600k and 3060. what do you guys think? so far i’ve tried, differentiating ram sticks, clearing cmos, cables are correctly into the gpu, clearing cmos. what do you guys think?

[obsidian wigeon]

doesn't seem to be why lol

group regulated psus works fine, but this could be a problem with anything, check connectors you could have missed

[brisk mountain]

connectors r straight man

[obsidian wigeon]

hm

got any other machine to test?

[brisk mountain]

nope

[obsidian wigeon]

well

it seems to turn on

seems like ram or something

try booting with one stick

and try every sticks one at a time

[brisk mountain]

i did

[obsidian wigeon]

might be a silly question, but

is the monitor connected to the gpu?

[brisk mountain]

i tried to gpu and to rear io

[obsidian wigeon]

alright, well since it's powering up i kinda suspect you might have to reseat the gpu

[brisk mountain]

mmm how would i do that

[obsidian wigeon]

take it off then put it back on again

[brisk mountain]

LMAO i did

[desert gulch]

dont get a 3600

its bad value rn

and def for your build 11400 is a great choice

and for that intel build you can def get away with a diff cooler

save 50 bucks easy

[queen dagger]

so i just got another $150 thanks to ebay, should i but the CPU cooler?

[frank stirrup]

What cpu?

[queen dagger]

5900x

cpu cooler being Lian Li Galahad

[frank stirrup]

Get an arctic freezer 360mm

Or the 360mm galahad works too

[queen dagger]

yeah i just hate the look of where it makes contact with the cpu

so ye

after that psu which my parents are buying for me for a gift when we go down to mass

case fans, and a nvme drive and i’ll be all set after that!

oh and graphics card 😐

[frank stirrup]

Just use that 1650 till ya get one

[queen dagger]

gon’ have to sell it most likely

[frank stirrup]

Dont

[lyric thistle]

buy first then sell

[rocky hound]

I just updated my bios and now it won’t boot to windows just keeps going back to the bios and I set the boot drive for my ssd with windows on it any ideas?

[queen dagger]

i would sell it in a system

how would i be able to afford a 3080 then?

[frank stirrup]

Who says u can find a 3080

To buy it

[queen dagger]

your not wrong

i’m never been lucky maybe i could get lucky with newegg

shuffle

[shrewd fjord]

I dont plan on getting my pc parts for another 6 months or so

[queen dagger]

also imma guess your a cat person

cause if so me too

[frank stirrup]

Dont get either of those lists in that case

[frank stirrup]

Was it the profile pic or the banner that gave it away

[shrewd fjord]

??

[queen dagger]

both

imma go to bed good night

[shrewd fjord]

@frank stirrup why say dont get either

[frank stirrup]

Because new cpus being released in that time

And also prices change a lot in 6 months

[shrewd fjord]

I wont be getting the new cpu xddd. And prices will most likely decrease right?

[frank stirrup]

Most likely

[frank stirrup]

Do you even know how much it will cost or the performance boost?

[jagged ember]

You'll also have more money

So

[frank stirrup]

@fossil cedar

3600c16 ballistix are 83$ rn

pog!

[fossil cedar]

Why would you go amd last gen, the intel one is miles better

[fossil cedar]

Uwu

[hallow glen]

Frick. Already bought for 90 something

Or, rather 32gb for 180 something

[shrewd fjord]

Nope

[frank stirrup]

then why decide you dont want it before it comes out lmao

[shrewd fjord]

I wont xd the reason I'm not getting pc now is because I am rebuilding my truck

[shrewd fjord]

Because I dont need top of the line stuff xd. Also it will be expensive when it first comes out

[frank stirrup]

Based on?

you dont have to buy the i9.....

[shrewd fjord]

What is the new processor?

Sorry am not good with this tech stuff. I just assumed that the new processor(s) would be expensive and way to much for what I want to do

[frank stirrup]

It isnt out yet

[shrewd fjord]

So we dont know how good it is?

[frank stirrup]

Its gonna be great

No clue how great

10nm finally tho

[cerulean trellis]

Is the r9 fury still a pretty good 1080p card because it the only one i can really find in my price range.

[rich helm]

I’m not sure how it compares to your current rx570

[cerulean trellis]

well im buying it because my rx 570 broke

[maiden pawn]

I saw a GN post about how Ryzen 3rd Gen improves performance a bit when using all four RAM slots on your board. Would I notice a difference if I got another two sticks of that Ballistix and go 4x8GB?

is this a good build?

and is the graphic cards double or single?

[steady pine]

It’s a good build I think it’s a double but don’t take my word I’m kinda new to this stuff

[fossil cedar]

Ehh its dependent on the motherboard but extra ram at the same speed and capacity won't hurt perf anyways

[jade scarab]

Hi

I need help

[fossil cedar]

It's decent yeah, single gpu, 2 GPUs have been pointless for a good few years now

[jade scarab]

Got a keyboard for 25

Tell me if it’s a good price pls

[lyric thistle]

Looks like a keyboard

[vapid kayak]

yeah I know it's single I mean the fans tho

is it 2 or 1, I can't tell

[jade scarab]

Razor Blackwidow

Lite

For 25

[fossil cedar]

[jade scarab]

Aluminium Metallic keyboard

For 25 is it good

[lyric thistle]

If I've learned anything it's that anything razer isn't worth it but a keyboard is a keyboard

[fossil cedar]

Ohh, it's either a 2 or 3 fan card

[vapid kayak]

okay

yeah I may get it

just needed recommendations

[jade scarab]

For 25 a Mechanical Keyboard not bad

?

[vapid kayak]

to see if it's good or not

[fossil cedar]

For 25$ i would get ye

[jade scarab]

I already copped

[fossil cedar]

It is good yeah

[vapid kayak]

alright thanks

[fossil cedar]

Np

[jade scarab]

Razor Blackwidow Lite 75% I think and alumni

[lyric thistle]

I think you usually get the typical Microsoft or hp keyboard at that price point, the K582 I got is normally 43 and I got it bundled with a M711 mouse for like 53 bucks or something and they're both very nice

[jade scarab]

Don’t know might get the Razor Basilisk Mouse ??

For 25

[lyric thistle]

I have a 2013 deathadder I got from a parts pc

[hollow grail]

lol razer

big kek

[jade scarab]

What’s Kek

[hollow grail]

[jade scarab]

Yh I have a big Kek

[lyric thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-kewkwait-issou-gif-21148982

[vapid kayak]

@fossil cedar you know if the Ryzen 5 3600 is a good cpu?

[jade scarab]

I got a 100 dollar keyboard for 25

What a deal

[lyric thistle]

I would never pay 100 for a razer lol

[marble whale]

https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/5496921400/us
is this a good GPU??

[fossil cedar]

Get Logitech g203 if your hand fits it nicely imo

[fossil cedar]

It's decent

[fossil cedar]

If you can get it for less than 600 ye lol

Pretty much the same, slight alterations in the coolers, get the cheaper one unless one is a single fan card, then the 2 fan card

[fossil cedar]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali473-gladiator/p/N82E16883360058R?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=4 if you have more budget get this, if not get the one you linked yea

[vapid kayak]

yeah I may actually invest into this one

[still roost]

night#2992 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vapid kayak]

👨

It's a lot better

[fossil cedar]

Yeah, if you have the extra budget it's worth, if you don't i would still be happy with the 3060 one

this a good monitor too?

[fossil cedar]

Get msi g241/g242

That's meh afaik

[vapid kayak]

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-Super-Narrow-Bezel/dp/B083K17XLH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=msi+g241&qid=1625768712&s=electronics&sr=1-1

[fossil cedar]

Or m27q if you're going 1440p@vapid kayak

[vapid kayak]

^?

[vapid kayak]

is that a good one I linked

[fossil cedar]

Yep that or the g242

[vapid kayak]

And it's really cheap

thanks mate

[fossil cedar]

@vapid kayak the msi g241 /g242 is 1080p 144hz, if you wanna go 1440p, get an m27q

[vapid kayak]

im going 1080p

[fossil cedar]

@vapid kayak get the g242 if it's the same price as the g241 tho because the g242 is just a newer g241

If you're not into first person shooters i would go 1440p if you're getting the 3070, if you are into fps games 1080p is what you want

[vapid kayak]

I'm only first person shooters

only games I play

[fossil cedar]

Than 1080p yeah

[vapid kayak]

How come?

[fossil cedar]

Because for first person shooters you generally want the more fps, sometimes sacrificing looks

And a higher resolution means the gpu gotta work more -> less fps

[vapid kayak]

oh yea makes sense

[fossil cedar]

If possible i would look at 240hz monitors then

[vapid kayak]

Ye I probably am staying with 144

[fossil cedar]

That's fair

[queen dagger]

what would yall say is the best 4.0 SSD? for a boot drive.

[steel musk]

It depends. Do you want more speed or more storage?

[queen dagger]

considering its a boot drive, im thinking 1tb to store commonly played games

and it would be paired with a 5900x

[steel musk]

I would pick a 2280 SSD but it might not be compatible with your computer

because it won't fit

[queen dagger]

wym it wont fit?

[steel musk]

Do you know if your motherboard is compatible with 2280 SSDs?

if it's not then it won't fit in. if it is then it will fit in

[fossil cedar]

Best is gen 3 which is the p31

[fossil cedar]

Any motherboard for the Ryzen 9 5900x will have at least one m.2 slot btw

[steel musk]

Looks like I need to read more into PC stuff

[queen dagger]

this is it im not finding anything yet

https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-b550-f-gam-wif/p/N82E16813119311?Item=N82E16813119311&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-Z7Yv6PaDl8IluaN1i3kLOQ

[fossil cedar]

That has multiple m.2 slots yes

[steel musk]

https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-black-sn750-nvme-1tb/p/N82E16820250110 this good for you?

[queen dagger]

what im confused about is what is 2280? i dont know much about ssds and i feel like it would be good to know

[queen dagger]

yeah, but isnt WD going through security issues? or is that only hard drivers?

[steel musk]

The form factor of the SSD, I think. Some motherboards are compatible, but some aren't

2280 is the length of an m.2 nvme SSD

2230, 2240, 2260 etc

[queen dagger]

is it measured in nanometers? lol

[steel musk]

It's hard to explain, since I'm kind of new to this

[queen dagger]

fair

[maiden pawn]

Here ya go

[queen dagger]

that a B I G ssd

[fossil cedar]

@queen dagger sk hynix p31

[queen dagger]

12 feet

[maiden pawn]

Most mobos these days have at least one slot for m.2 like @fossil cedar mentioned

[queen dagger]

so would you say the sn750 or the p31 is better for price to performance?

[fossil cedar]

P31 by miles, the sn750 is wack

[steel musk]

the P31 is an SSD right?

[fossil cedar]

Yes

Sk hynix

[maiden pawn]

Sn550 good, sn750 bad?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah sn750s rand is trash, sn550s rand is 2nd to the p31 lol

[queen dagger]

doesnt sk hynix make controllers or something? ik there specialize with storage

[fossil cedar]

They make ram and storage yeah

[queen dagger]

so when i go down to micro center ill hope there is a p31, if not, what should i look for? (aka a second option of all SK Hynix factories colaplse into the earth)

[maiden pawn]

Sn550 according to Pato

[steel musk]

You're pretty lucky that you have a micro center near you

[lyric thistle]

750 got a firmware update p sure

That makes random less bad

[queen dagger]

its 5 hours away....

[steel musk]

my point still stands

[queen dagger]

3 states or somehting

fair

[maiden pawn]

Nearest one to me is like 2 day drive lol

[queen dagger]

imma be buying storage, psu, fans, and maybe gpu down there if possible?

[steel musk]

the only tech store near me is a Best Buy, and they don't sell any good components

[queen dagger]

you from greenland?

[maiden pawn]

Onett

My coming was foretold by the Apple of Enlightenment

[steel musk]

Apple of Enlightenment?

[fossil cedar]

Well if you don't wanna order online, sn550

[steel musk]

I'm looking to upgrade my current graphics card with an rtx 3000 series graphics card, but I'm having a hard time finding one that has a length of around 9 inches or below and a width of 5 inches or below. Any suggestions?

[maiden pawn]

You might be limited there really. The coolers on most of the 3000 series are massive

And most of the cards have really long PCBs too. Except like the FE cards, but they have big coolers too

[steel musk]

Apparently, a 3070 founder's edition card was able to fit in my case

[maiden pawn]

Try and get one of those then

Or maybe a 3060 FE etc

[steel musk]

Maybe I'll upgrade the CPU while I'm at it, the 3070 FE might be a little overkill for it actually it'll definitely be overkill

[fossil cedar]

3060 ti or 3070 ti fe most likely only choices, will be easier to just get a bigger case

[steel musk]

Might be a little hard with the prebuilt I currently have

[fossil cedar]

@steel musk the thing is beggers can't be choosers and if you're looking for a card rn you're a begger lol

[fossil cedar]

Getting a new case will probs be easier tho lol

[steel musk]

You're pretty much right there, might as well get a new case

[fossil cedar]

Most likely the case you have has no airflow if it's that small anyway lol

[steel musk]

It has some airflow, but it's pretty small

Might be because of the hinge that the PSU is in that makes it hard to put in a graphics card, not sure.

[fossil cedar]

Possibly yesh

[static ravine]

M.2 22110 heh kinda huge

[marble whale]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-1357-KR

is this a good GPU?

[desert gulch]

whats your definition of good?

[marble whale]

minecraft and fortnite

[fossil cedar]

Then ye

[maiden pawn]

Are PC components at any great risk being in the heat for a while? Say if you live somewhere quite hot and are not home to accept delivery of your package? Or if some are more risky than others what are they?

[desert gulch]

how hot are we talking?

they should be fine tbh, since theyre made to withstand alot of heat for the most part

aslong as your cpu isnt getting over like 95c and stuff id guess itd be fine

[maiden pawn]

It’s like 48c here maybe a little hotter in my mailbox

[desert gulch]

yea youll be fine

[maiden pawn]

Won’t be ordering components in the Summer again just to be safe

[desert gulch]

Yeah you should be fine

[hollow grail]

hdds do not like it

[maiden pawn]

That about it? Fortunately don’t have any of those on the way

[hollow grail]

50c is "oh no" temperature for those

[desert gulch]

I had one sit on my porch in the sun in 117f heat and it didn't do anything to it, what happens to them at 50c?

[hollow grail]

they degrade quicker

or just pop

kek

[desert gulch]

Weird

Lucky my barracuda didn't do that lol

[hollow grail]

its ok itll probs pop in a year or two anyways

[desert gulch]

Yeah

It's already been a year

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ala250/p/N82E16883360154?Description=prebuild&cm_re=prebuild-_-83-360-154-_-Product&quicklink=true

anyone who has this pc know if its good? even if u dont have it whats your opinion

[fossil cedar]

is good yeah

[desert gulch]

It looks pretty decent for the price imo

[civic smelt]

good airflow and everything?

[fossil cedar]

not really but no prebuilts do

[desert gulch]

Side intake looks pretty decent

[desert gulch]

Has side intake

Actually not horrible

[fossil cedar]

yeah hence why i said not really to good airflow instead of straight no lol

[desert gulch]

O wait

It intakes from bottom

No fans on side

[fossil cedar]

side intake no fans kek

[desert gulch]

Bottom has 3 fans

[fossil cedar]

ntb

[civic smelt]

airflow was the only thing i was worried about thank you tho

good airflow?

[fossil cedar]

its decent for a prebuilt

[vapid kayak]

decent being good?

[fossil cedar]

It's as good as you're gonna get on a prebuilt tbh

open box ftw

[obsidian mist]

thoughts on this parts list for a first build (2k-ish budget)?? https://newegg.io/4fcb37c

[desert gulch]

I'll revise it and make a PCPartPicker list real quick

You going for a gaming build @obsidian mist ?

[obsidian mist]

ty, and yep!

[desert gulch]

Alrighty

[obsidian mist]

getting off an older laptop

[desert gulch]

I'll be back in a sec with a list

What resolution you looking to play at?

[obsidian mist]

Just 1080 for now. Nothing too fancy

[desert gulch]

Alright

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/gLfrkX

This is what I came up with

You could def go for a 3070 too if you wanted

Basically any 3060ti or 3070 you can find for a reasonable price try to snag

[obsidian mist]

Appreciate the help! But I don’t think there’s a single part there from my original list 😂

[hallow glen]

bc its better without those parts

[cursive tusk]

isn't a 3060 for 549.99 resell a steal?

[hallow glen]

eh. they are going for 800 about on this market, so I guess it's okay

[desert gulch]

It's meh tbh, Id much rather try and snag a 3060ti off of bestbuy for 400usd tho

[jaunty river]

hell no

[jaunty river]

[icy kestrel]

Is amd or intel better for overclocking?

[solid dust]

Depends

[solid dust]

Amd you kind of just push a button and it ocs, intel you have to tinker around a bit

[icy kestrel]

Thanks

[solid dust]

It’s a little more complex than that but I’d look a little more online

[earnest olive]

ummm

lol

properly tuning PBO with curve optimizer is many orders of magnitude more complicated than tossing a manual oc on intel

[icy kestrel]

@fossil cedar @frank stirrup could you guys help me finish this list with amd https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MrkcXb with a budget of 1800

[frank stirrup]

Sure

gimme 5

is it white themed?

[icy kestrel]

Yeah

[frank stirrup]

Aigt ill pick all white parts ten

[solid dust]

If you’re going amd, I would get 3600mhz ram, it benefits a lot from faster ram

And it’s not much more if you don’t have rgb

[earnest olive]

get white gaming chair too

[desert gulch]

and the fact its cheaper rn ye

[frank stirrup]

3600c16 do be 73$rn

absolute steal

[frank stirrup]

Any reccomendations?

[earnest olive]

no it was a joke gaming chairs are not good

get office chair for proper back support

[frank stirrup]

I know

if u suggested a chair i was gonna ask you how the airflow was like

[earnest olive]

nzxt chair

slow-cooks your back while gaming

[frank stirrup]

The only way to truly be hot

[earnest olive]

end your gaming session with some perfectly cooked ribs

[frank stirrup]

Not just ribs

@icy kestrel https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xTQz3Z

[kindred knot]

Ok so here we go. Went on a two day vaca and came back. Turned on my pc and the lights and fans work but nothing is displaying on the monitor

I already noticed something was off. The lcd on my aio reseted and my rgb on my fans were a different color. When I tried to turn it off with the power button it didn’t work so I had to unplug

[still roost]

imsly89#4787 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[kindred knot]

I tried to switch out the aio for my noctua cpu fan. That didn’t work

Got new custom cables. That didn’t work

Took everything a part and still diesnt work

Also the cpu fans spins on startup and after 1 second it stops working

Also the q-led indicators that show the ram and video etc doesn’t come on

So the only thing I have tried is single ram, installing out side of case, clear cmos, instal gpu directly into mobo without the riser cable.

[coarse coral]

[kindred knot]

Ordered a new mobo. Will come in tomorrow

[coarse coral]

is it beeping (if you have a speaker installed)?

[kindred knot]

I don’t have speakers installed

[coarse coral]

also have you tried a diff monitor cable

[kindred knot]

I have two monitors with dp and none of them is displaying

[desert gulch]

try hooking up a laptop or console to them

[coarse coral]

does the mobo have light those lights that tell you whats cycling

like green red white

yellow/orange

when booting

[kindred knot]

I only had three mobo stand-off too. I put the 4th one on and still nothing lol

[coarse coral]

@frank stirrup you're about to g et banned

[kindred knot]

Those are the qled lights and they aren’t on

Usually they show but nope

[frank stirrup]

What did I do uwu

[desert gulch]

troll

[coarse coral]

odd

[desert gulch]

you have another gpu you can throw in there?

or another psu that would work?

[kindred knot]

These are all new parts. Kinda. Built it in December but acquired a new gpu and cpu working the last 4-5 months

[desert gulch]

so no extra gpu?

[kindred knot]

I don’t have any other spare parts

[desert gulch]

o

what cpu?

[kindred knot]

Amd 5950x. Less than 2 weeks old

[desert gulch]

oof

[still roost]

imsly89#4787 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[desert gulch]

i was hoping for an intel one so youd have an igpu

[kindred knot]

80 ish is average

It runs hot. 89c is the highest it’s been

[robust lake]

In gaming?

[kindred knot]

Playing warzone for a few hours

[robust lake]

Thats weird

[kindred knot]

The mobo is an asus x570-i

I bought it used on eBay.

[robust lake]

Shouldnt be above 70 -75 gaming

[kindred knot]

Noticed that it didn’t supply enough power to one of the USB ports

[desert gulch]

what aio?

or cooler?

[kindred knot]

Nzxt kraken z53

[desert gulch]

thats ur issue right there

[kindred knot]

Less than 2 weeks old as well

[robust lake]

Thats a crappy aio

[desert gulch]

nzxt aios dont cool the best

[kindred knot]

Lmfao damn

[desert gulch]

a arctic freezer ii would keep that 5950x pretty cool

[robust lake]

Also 240mm

You need 360 or atleast 280

For 5950x

[desert gulch]

artic freezer ii is the best aio for ryzen rn due to its offset mounting for ryzen specifically

[kindred knot]

Yeah I have a small form factor and I wanted that cool lcd aio

[still roost]

imsly89#4787 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[desert gulch]

yeah

[kindred knot]

Put gifs on it lol

[desert gulch]

nice

[robust lake]

So get arctic freezer 2 or ek aio if you want rgb

[desert gulch]

galahad too

[kindred knot]

So do you think the cpu is fried?

[robust lake]

No

[desert gulch]

not at all

[kindred knot]

It says that the 5950 can handle 90-95c

[desert gulch]

if you want a screen on a cpu cooler that cools well id preorder the new EK AIO

[robust lake]

Well it can but you shouldnt be reaching those temps when gaming

[kindred knot]

I just returned the nzxt to Amazon haha

Was gonna test the noctua air cooler with three fans in the case

[desert gulch]

d15?

or 12?

[kindred knot]

15

[desert gulch]

nice

i bet that cools it better lol

[kindred knot]

I have the noctua nh-l9a am4

[desert gulch]

so if you got an aio what options do you have for mounting?

[kindred knot]

And two other noctua case fans

[desert gulch]

can you fit a 280 or a 360?

[kindred knot]

Nope. I can’t even fit this nzxt 240

[desert gulch]

dang

yeah then air cooling is your best bet

[kindred knot]

It’s slightly thicker than other 240’s

[long berry]

Thoughts on this? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/StarkOdinson/saved/GTgfyc

[kindred knot]

I was gonna shave down my 15mm case fanse to make it fit on top

[long berry]

Wha-

15 millimetres?

[shadow pebble]

Intel i7 11700 K cpu
Asus TUF 3070 Ti
Asus TUF gaming Z590 mobo
Corsair 4000d airflow case
Corsair rm850x PSU
Corsair vengeance 32GB ram
MSI MAG coreliquid 240R AIO
1 TB SSD NVMe

Thoughts on my build appreciated

[desert gulch]

looks pretty good, how good is that cpu cooler?

i havent heard of it

[kindred knot]

Yup. I ordered 12mm fans but gonna return those since I returned the aio

[desert gulch]

120mm?

no 12mm right?

[kindred knot]

I’ll stick to the noctua air cooler and check@out the temps once I get the pc to boot

[desert gulch]

super nice, love it!

[long berry]

I'm not sure actually, I originally added a U12S Chromax Black, but was told it wasn't enough and got recommended this

[long berry]

Nice, however, do you have a Microcenter near you?

[kindred knot]

So any idea what’s wrong with my pc?

[desert gulch]

id grab a galahad, ek aio, or arctic freezer ii

[desert gulch]

im guessing gpu or mobo

[kindred knot]

Poor mobo!?

[desert gulch]

but you said ur getting a new mobo right?

[long berry]

What that directed at moi?

[kindred knot]

Gpu is too new to have issues I think

[desert gulch]

yea

it was

[long berry]

Ohk lemme check

[desert gulch]

yeah

[kindred knot]

Yup. New one coming tomorrow. So no games for a few days now lol

[desert gulch]

a 10850k will def need more than that air cooler imo

[shadow pebble]

Thanks for your vote of confidence 🙂

[kindred knot]

My mouse and keyboard doesn’t light up when connected to the usb

[shadow pebble]

About 2 hours from me yes

[desert gulch]

nice, if that doesnt work id see if any friends got a gpu you can try or maybe ask a local pc shop

[kindred knot]

But my headphones Bluetooth does

[long berry]

Then consider getting a 10850K

They've got them for $320

[desert gulch]

yeah its a good deal rn

[long berry]

Indeed

[kindred knot]

I actually might have a 1080 gpu or something like that lying around

[desert gulch]

isnt it even more off when bundled with a mobo from them?

[kindred knot]

Gonna see if I can find it

[long berry]

Not 100% sure

[desert gulch]

damn if you have a 1080 lying around and you dont need it today is the day to sell it

[long berry]

There was a Z590 UD + 10600K for $280

[desert gulch]

theyll go for like 400 easy

[kindred knot]

It’s probably not a 1080 lol I think something less. I forgot. I got it from a friend when I started building this pc

[desert gulch]

dang

[frank stirrup]

not great aio. arctic freezer II 280mm or 360mm or lian li galahad 360 or ek aio 360 recommended. Vengence is bad ram get crucial ballistix instead. everything else seems good

[kindred knot]

Probably a 1050

[long berry]

Yeah, 250 for the CPU and 180 for the mobo

[kindred knot]

What’s a great 240mm aio?

[desert gulch]

didnt notice that aio lol

freezer ii

[long berry]

Liquid Freezer, Galahad

[robust lake]

240 isnt good

For 5950x

You better get air cooler

[desert gulch]

thats as big as their mounting is

sasdly

[robust lake]

Oh

Air cooler might be better

[desert gulch]

yeah

they have a d15 rn

so its about as good as itll get

[long berry]

D15 isn't enough?

[desert gulch]

they havent tested it yet

pc wont post

[long berry]

Oh

Have they tested connections?

[desert gulch]

said they left on a vaca and it wouldnt work when they came back

[long berry]

Also, does the mobo have an error light/code?

ohh

[desert gulch]

no debug light

im guessing possible power surge

[long berry]

likely

[desert gulch]

so either mobo or gpu or psu imo

[long berry]

surge protectors or pog

let's hope it isn't the GPU

[desert gulch]

ups= more pog

yeah i hope it isnt

[long berry]

indeed

[desert gulch]

itd be best to be the psu

[long berry]

Yeah

Cheapest part

Even CPUs are back to normal

[desert gulch]

mhmm

yeah

cpu would be the worst imo

5950x is one hell of a expensive cpu

[long berry]

True

[desert gulch]

but its justified

[long berry]

But not as bad as GPU

[desert gulch]

idk what gpu they have

[long berry]

You end up paying $900 for a 3070, which is $200 over the 3080

[little osprey]

corsair 360 platnium white radiator + 240 radiator, 6 corsair QL120 white fans, lian li dynamics water block (made specific for the case) lian li dynamics mini white case, asus rog strix z590 white lightning mobo, intel i9 11th gen 11900k unlocked cpu, two 16gb sticks of white ballistix 3600 ddr (tuned timings) ~$200 in waterfittings and piping, 850w seagate powersupply

Is this good for 2k

[long berry]

Even a 1650 goes for fricking $500-600

[desert gulch]

yup

[desert gulch]

no gpu?

[little osprey]

Yes gpu

[long berry]

Bestbuy has well-priced GPUs, btu they're always OOS lmao

[little osprey]

I chose gpu

But which is the best one to go with it

[long berry]

None

[desert gulch]

3090

is the best one

[long berry]

Use the 11900K for now

[little osprey]

I have 3090

But it’s expensive

[long berry]

Oh

[desert gulch]

i wouldnt buy it imo

[little osprey]

I have like 8 gpu

[desert gulch]

id rather a 5900x build

[long berry]

Why do you have 8 GPUs?

[little osprey]

I buy them

[long berry]

I concur

Why?

[little osprey]

Sell to ppl who build rigs

[desert gulch]

better perf

[frank stirrup]

11900k is pathetic

[desert gulch]

and you gain a couple extra cores

[frank stirrup]

its an overclocked 11700k

[long berry]

Not to you, to the 8 GPU guy lmao

[desert gulch]

11900k is like a 5800x in gaming

[long berry]

5900X is better

[frank stirrup]

it is an OCed 11700k

[desert gulch]

yeah lol

[little osprey]

🤔

[desert gulch]

o lol

[long berry]

The only thing it's remotely decent at is memory OC

[desert gulch]

yeah

[little osprey]

What’s better then

[desert gulch]

5900x

[long berry]

Obviously the 3090 lmao

[frank stirrup]

5900x

[little osprey]

Oh

[long berry]

But 5900X for CPU

[desert gulch]

and emptying your wallet

[little osprey]

Gpu not cheap these days

[desert gulch]

correct

[long berry]

Accurate lmao

[frank stirrup]

its an OCed version of a cpu thats a waste of sand

[long berry]

Anyone know when Bestbuy does GPU drops?

[long berry]

11400 is decent value though

For $150-170

[desert gulch]

yeah thats it

[long berry]

Good successor to the 3600

[frank stirrup]

Is the 11900k an oced 11400?

[desert gulch]

above like 400 intel has no value

[frank stirrup]

lol

[long berry]

Nah, I was just pointing out how the tables have turned

[desert gulch]

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i9-11900K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B08X6PPTTH/ref=asc_df_B08X6PPTTH/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507477922458&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6487043635531736231&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032850&hvtargid=pla-1227263958383&psc=1

[frank stirrup]

11400 and 11500 only cpus that are worth buying. AMD for everything else

[long berry]

Textbook role reversal

[desert gulch]

how convinient a 11900k is the same price exactly as a 5900x

and you take 2 less cores and worse gaming perf with the intel lol

[long berry]

I wouldn't really buy the 11500 though

[frank stirrup]

while being significantly worse at everything

[long berry]

It goes for like, $50 over the 11400

[little osprey]

My pc keeps crashing and freezing

[desert gulch]

better igpu

uhd 730 vs uhd 750

for some ppl its worth

[little osprey]

Interesting

Ok

[long berry]

That much is true, not sure if it's worth

[desert gulch]

yeah

[little osprey]

Good to know

[desert gulch]

id rather wait for a 5600g if i was in market for an apu

[long berry]

come on AMD, just drop your prices

[long berry]

Still pretty expensive

[desert gulch]

yeah

[lyric thistle]

It's like buying a GT card but instead of paying 100+ you're paying 50

[long berry]

Samne as 11600K

[little osprey]

I did intel with mine but I keep hearing amd is more reliable

[desert gulch]

will blow any uhd out of the water tho

[long berry]

Oh eyah without a doubt

Iris UHD is dogwater

[frank stirrup]

They reduced cpu cache in those cpus... the cpu part isnt as good as non G variants

[desert gulch]

same with the intel dgp's lol

[little osprey]

I have amd 6700xt and 6800

[desert gulch]

literally a gt1030 but worse lol

[long berry]

Pretty close to the 5700G iirc

[desert gulch]

yeah but still a good apu

[desert gulch]

yeah which is pretty sad for a dgpu

[long berry]

Very much so

[frank stirrup]

Ehhhh rather go 11500 for an apu

[long berry]

Cheaper

Significantly

[desert gulch]

yeah

[long berry]

Also, horrible iGPU

[desert gulch]

yeah

[long berry]

Which is really why AMD needs some products at the low end

3200G and 3400G are jokes

[desert gulch]

ight imma dip and fall asleep, see yall later 🤟

[long berry]

4650G and 4750G are... not well priced

Good night!

[desert gulch]

cya

[kindred knot]

I have an Rtx 3080 fe

[long berry]

How much did you pay

[kindred knot]

I only play warzone lol

I paid Msrp. Got it on bestbuy

[little osprey]

Fe very limited

[long berry]

Wha-

[long berry]

How?

[little osprey]

Best Buy is fun

[long berry]

Bot?

[little osprey]

Got all mine there

[kindred knot]

I had two Rtx 3070 fe and another Zotac 3070

[little osprey]

Pretty much

[long berry]

When do they drop them?

[little osprey]

Thursday

[long berry]

Zotac is kinda bad tbh

[kindred knot]

Nope not bot. I hit that add to cart button like crazy

[little osprey]

If u see them like first u can cart fast

[long berry]

yeah..

[kindred knot]

I had a 5600x and bought the 5900x. Then decided to just get the 5950

[long berry]

anyone know where you can get a nice bot?

[kindred knot]

5900 I was getting around 70c playing warzone. 5950 runs wayyyy hotter

[long berry]

Interesting choice

I would stay with 5950X

[kindred knot]

Got the aio to keep it cool but didn’t do anything

[long berry]

Not much point in the 5950X ngl

[kindred knot]

Yeah I just bought it for futures lol just in case I want to stream or something

I’m trying to get an Rtx 3090 fe

Hopefully it drops tomorrow

All this in a sff cass haha

[long berry]

If you have an RTX 3090 you can just NVenc lmao

[kindred knot]

Case*

[long berry]

oven*

[kindred knot]

What’s d15 btw? I thought you were asking the size of the fan

It’s all ventilated. Cnc’d

It’s called Formd t1

[long berry]

D15 is a cooler

It uses 140mm fans

Not 15mm

[little osprey]

So that build is good if I get 5950x?

[long berry]

Yeah

[little osprey]

And a good gpu

[long berry]

No

5900X

[little osprey]

Oh

[long berry]

Not 5950X

[little osprey]

5900

Yeah

What’s the difference

And gpu 3080 and above

[frank stirrup]

4 cores

5950x has 4 cores more than 5900x but it has lower single core

[kindred knot]

So air cooler is actually good for 5950? I assumed aio would be. I’m new to all this btw. Just started in November

[little osprey]

Alright

[frank stirrup]

No

absolutely not

[little osprey]

Do

So which gpu do u like

[frank stirrup]

I like 6800x

[long berry]

6800XT is decent

Personally, I would go with a 3080 due to DLSS and RTX

But atm, 6800XT is basically nonexistent

[little osprey]

I have 6800xt

[frank stirrup]

FSR is good enough

[long berry]

Yeah, but NVenc and stuff

Moreover, FSR isn't quite as refined as DLSS just yet

[frank stirrup]

HEVC and AVC is good enough

[long berry]

Feature. parity is kinda lacking, but that should be fixed with next gen

[frank stirrup]

never said it was. Just said its good enough

[long berry]

True

[vague oracle]

RT is still pretty much a gimmick and FSR works well enough

[long berry]

Really personal preference

[frank stirrup]

Im really enjoying my amd card ngl

[vague oracle]

Yeah same here

[long berry]

I'll take any dang card I can get my hand on for a good price lmao

[frank stirrup]

Do you have the 19th best RX570 ever created tho

[vague oracle]

Lmao nah I did have some insane RX480 tho

The thing OCed to the moon and back

Mem was like 2175 I think

[long berry]

2175MHz?

[vague oracle]

Core clock was 1450

Probably should’ve done benches in 3D mark

[frank stirrup]

weak

I do 1490 core and 2290 mem

lul

[little osprey]

AMD has created a CPU which is a true double threat, although the high price does reflect this capability. For those interested purely in gaming, there seems little justification for the $250 difference in price compared to the 5900X. However, if your needs do extend to both gaming and workstation use then the 5950X is unparalleled.

To wrap it up, if you’re building a powerful gaming rig then we’d recommend the 5900X. If you need a workstation PC that’s just as powerful when playing games, the 5950X could be the one for you, though we recommend waiting until after November 5th to see if the price to performance makes it worth purchasing over the 3950X

🤔

Workstation and gaming

[frank stirrup]

where is this copy paste from and why put it here lmao

[long berry]

lmao

Just get the 5900X

12 cores is more than enough

Go much higher, and you lose out on single-threaded perf
