[long berry]

What kind of stuff are you doing?

[stoic island]

Somehow then end up on the top despite having bad testing

[long berry]

yep

it's an endless cycle

[little osprey]

Me?

So what’s good for gaming and work

[long berry]

it's at the top of the search page, more people visit it, that pushes it higher up, so on

What kind of work?

[little osprey]

I feel

[stoic island]

Depends on the work

[little osprey]

Like not super super

[stoic island]

Be very specific

[frank stirrup]

anything thats good for gaming is good for work tbh

[little osprey]

I can’t

[stoic island]

Which application do you use

[long berry]

^

[little osprey]

Not very intensive

As of moment

[long berry]

5900X

[stoic island]

5800x works too

Decent deal from MC nowadays

[long berry]

Eh true, but he is looking for a flagship

[little osprey]

Ok

[frank stirrup]

AMD EPYC 7763

[stoic island]

Lol

[frank stirrup]

or ur doing it wrong

[kindred knot]

Just watched this guys YouTube vid and he had the same exact problem as mines. He tried everything and the last thing was a new mobo and it worked lol

[stoic island]

What is the issue tho

[long berry]

Lol, a little too flagship

[frank stirrup]

Only 8k for the cpu

pocket change

[long berry]

Is that the 64-core one or the 32-core one?

[frank stirrup]

64

[stoic island]

64 core

[frank stirrup]

zen 3 64

[stoic island]

Dual 7763 is where it's at tho

[frank stirrup]

Thats like 2 pockets worth of change

[stoic island]

Pretty sure it's still Zen 2

[frank stirrup]

nop

[long berry]

Oh hell yeah

128-cores

8TB of RAM

[stoic island]

It's third gen epyc

[long berry]

Nah Zen 3

Epyc Milan

[frank stirrup]

zen 3

and 3rd gen

[stoic island]

Oh it is Zen 3

Fun

[long berry]

it has much juice

too much juice, some would say

[stoic island]

Never enough juice

[frank stirrup]

yep

No juice is enough juice

[long berry]

Indeed

[little osprey]

Ppl say 5950 is better

Hmm

[long berry]

But Windows cannot comprehend the amount of juice

So use Linux

[little osprey]

But same time 5900 is 500 cheaper

[long berry]

Just get the 5900X man

[little osprey]

Aside from its bruising performance in applications, it’s even faster than the 5950X in gaming, even beating out Intel's overclocked flagships at 1080p, too.

🤔

[long berry]

It's also $200 more

[frank stirrup]

intel 11th gen high end is a pile of poop

[little osprey]

…

300

[long berry]

For less than single digit performance

Heck, the clocks are lower

[little osprey]

250

Yeah

[long berry]

You really don't need teh 5950X

[frank stirrup]

single core yes

[long berry]

Unless you're doing crazy rendering

[frank stirrup]

multicore absolutely not

[little osprey]

Huge core

[long berry]

I mean, that much is obvious

[little osprey]

Multi different

[long berry]

It has 8 more threads

[frank stirrup]

7763

[frank stirrup]

compared to?

[long berry]

That is significantly more expensive than most people's entire setups

[long berry]

core clocks are less than the 5900X iirc

[frank stirrup]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5900x

https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5950x

But yes the 5900x does boost a little higher because more thermal headroom

[long berry]

yeah

[little osprey]

Ok

[tight sorrel]

@vague oracle that lancool you posted in the build pics is gorgeous

[vague oracle]

Ikr I love it so much

That pic is making me want to try my hand at a custom loop in mine

[fading oyster]

I’m done

I can’t do this anymore

I honestly like i can’t go on

My 3060 finally got here

And in the first hour that i have it it breaks

[vague oracle]

How did it break?

@fading oyster

[fading oyster]

Bruh I don’t know

I don’t know if it’s broken I don’t know what’s happening

I went to setting then i went to updates then i went to recovery then i restarted my pc i erased all my files and i did a cloud recovery

And now my pc doesn’t work

It makes a loading screen for like 3 seconds then it blacks out

Then it briefly shows a page that says windows download 64% complete

Then makes a weird noise and it goes back to the loading screen

I’ve done everything

Unplugged it held power button down did windows v everything

But it’s still stuck in this loop

[vague oracle]

Does it work with the old GPU?

also what’s the wattage of the PSU?

[frank stirrup]

Reinstall windows

Windows is oofed

[fossil cedar]

Ohh mesh nice

[frank stirrup]

U talking is not nice

How I overtake u if u keep talking

Merd

Nerd

[fossil cedar]

I'd go with rawrs list ye

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/scheming-evil-plan-evil-patrick-star-gif-5437636

[frank stirrup]

AYY! Patos approval on a build list!

I am a god now

BOW DOWN TO ME NERDS

Jkjk im a dumdum

[hallow glen]

K

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qDVnfP i wanted to try to make a good pc at your 1800 limit for fun lol

[fossil cedar]

That board is a very budget board, nononono, the ram is slow but fine, main thing is the board

[obsidian wigeon]

eh 5600x

better off 11400

[fossil cedar]

Look at the board foxy

Also that board doesn't even have flashback

[obsidian wigeon]

link doesn't load for me anymore

[fossil cedar]

And rm power supply is fine but meh for the price

[obsidian wigeon]

what's with my internet ree

[fossil cedar]

B450m ds3h

[little osprey]

also guys idk why but my dads friend at work is trying to sell him a rtx 3070 USED for get this? $1.8k when its going used for $750 on ebay

[obsidian wigeon]

oh damn

well no

[icy kestrel]

You could swap 850w for a 750 and use the money into the mobo

[obsidian wigeon]

1.8k for a 3070, ew

[little osprey]

hold on let me make some changes on the list

[little osprey]

yeah ik he is kinda stupid

[fossil cedar]

It's not going for 750$ on ebay, they are scams but the 1.8k for 3070 is 3080 ti scalping price

[fossil cedar]

It's fine they were already made a good list

[little osprey]

used not brand new sealed

[icy kestrel]

I got my 3070 for 878

New

[obsidian wigeon]

not too bad

[fossil cedar]

Yeah ik, still they're scams, 900-1000$ for a 3070

[little osprey]

like i already told my dad that his friend needs to understand just bc you bought something at a stupid price DOES NOT mean you can sell it for a stupid price to

[fossil cedar]

Scalped

[little osprey]

rn i have a gtx 1080 but i do want a 3070 so im gonna hope my dads friend will grow some common sense and sell it for $800-850

[icy kestrel]

If I would’ve gon with a i5 would I be able to fit the 3 fan cpu cooler?

[fossil cedar]

Yes ofc, rawr made you a ryzen 5 5600x with the 360mm(3 fan aio) anyway tho

[icy kestrel]

He put the 2 fan cpu cooler

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xTQz3Z

[fossil cedar]

Ohh nvm

I thought was 3 fan

Hmm

Lemme see

[icy kestrel]

Since that’s gonna be my only rgb plus the gpu I atleast wanna light up a little of the inside

[old hearth]

ik someone shall complain about my pc build list but here it is.
yes ik the aio is not the best but it still works

zotac 3080ti, 32 gb ram 3600 cl16, ax850 watt, 5900x and 1.5 tb ssd both sn750 with 4 tb hard drive seagate. Coolermaster td500, with coolermaster ml360 aio with a tomahawk mag wifi x570

[icy kestrel]

Why not put it in the part list web

[old hearth]

because i did not use that

[fossil cedar]

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

[icy kestrel]

Nice

Amd a bit over budget for a decent built huh

[fossil cedar]

Is ntb, i would have gone td500 mesh version instead of non mesh, a different aio but yeah and also not the sn750 but that's a bit more nit picky, it clearly does the job for you i suppose

[fossil cedar]

Wdym?

[old hearth]

i did my bad for not clarifying

[frank stirrup]

yucky mobo

[old hearth]

with mesh

[fossil cedar]

Nice

[old hearth]

the aio i wanted to keep since it matched brand of case, and while not the best i read it shall work just fine, just no overclocking lol

[fossil cedar]

Then the only thing i would change is aio and possibly psu, idk what one you have and sn750 if it was from new but that's about it

[old hearth]

im fine with that as im a first time pc builder

[frank stirrup]

240 is good enuf for a 5600x

[old hearth]

psu i might upgrade later on to 1000 watt,but for now i got one of the best 850 that should work fine

[frank stirrup]

had to cut it down to fit an amd cpu in

[icy kestrel]

I meant if I go with amd wouldn’t it cost more

[frank stirrup]

sn550 beats the sn750, that aio is meh and the case coulda been better

[frank stirrup]

yes

it will

[icy kestrel]

But it’ll be better for oc right?

[frank stirrup]

thats why I had to cut back the aio to a 240mm

[fossil cedar]

Yeah it will do but they wanted the 360

[old hearth]

aio yes ik i like brand on brand, damn well at least the sn750s were half off, and case i liked trithfully

[fossil cedar]

Yes, especially if you want a white motherboard

[frank stirrup]

Well unless you get a k skew intel cpu, you cant OC on intel

[fossil cedar]

They already have hence why i said its fine lol

[icy kestrel]

Idc if the mobo is white

[fossil cedar]

850w is fine for a 3080 ti tbh

[icy kestrel]

I just want the cooler and ram white

[frank stirrup]

He also asked for amd tho

[icy kestrel]

So there’s majority white

Also case

[fossil cedar]

Ehhh manual oc is a nogo on amd, and if intel it will be over budget if you wanna oc

Ohhh lemme see then if you don't care bout mobo

[frank stirrup]

you can still get gains outta manual OC over PBO you know?

[fossil cedar]

For amd precision boost overdrive is better for gaming

[frank stirrup]

Its just not very easy since PBO absolutely kicks butt

[fossil cedar]

Pbo better for games

[icy kestrel]

Aren’t there apps for oc

[fossil cedar]

No, you gotta use the bios

[frank stirrup]

Nah you can get a manual OC that beats pbo in everything

curve optimiser for example

it just takes more time since PBO is already so great

[icy kestrel]

This part list is good

[frank stirrup]

Not good ones

[frank stirrup]

didnt you specifically ask for amd?

also the 11400 cant be oced at all

[icy kestrel]

I asked for amd cause I’ve heard it’s better for gaming but if intel will fit better parts you can choose

[frank stirrup]

bruh

[fossil cedar]

[frank stirrup]

but yes the 5600x does beat even the 11600k in most games

its just priced too high

price to perf not great

[obsidian wigeon]

uh no

11400 almost matches 5600x

[fossil cedar]

@icy kestrel https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7ct6wz

[obsidian wigeon]

in games and most cases

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LF6hQD is this better to meet your high standards?

[fossil cedar]

Nah 11600k does but 11400 isn't too close behind

[frank stirrup]

Not at all

[icy kestrel]

I’m gonna go to micro center and see if they have anything

[obsidian wigeon]

well i looked at gn tests

it seems close to me

however im not against 5600x with that budget

[fossil cedar]

It's better but, psu still meh, ram is slow,

And over budget

[fossil cedar]

Ohh if you live near to microcenter, you can get a 10700 for cheap af, i would get that tbh

[little osprey]

[frank stirrup]

slow ram meh psu and that board is meh at that price

Not a bad board

just a bad price

[little osprey]

3200mhz is SLOW????

[frank stirrup]

Yes

[little osprey]

what do you have then bigshot?

[frank stirrup]

in a world where 5333mhz ram kits exist its a snail

[frank stirrup]

3600mts

lol

[little osprey]

bro 3200mhz is not slow, who told you that?

[old hearth]

get 3600 cl16, thats what i got for around same price

[fossil cedar]

Yes for ryzen 5000 it is, 3600 min

[fossil cedar]

It is

For about the past year and a bit

[icy kestrel]

I’m gonna go and see

[little osprey]

umm every where i see it all says 3200mhz is good and 3600mhz being the best but nothing that says 3200mhz is the bare minimum

[frank stirrup]

When it comes to amd, the flck is literally tied to ram speeds

slow ram is very slow system

and 3200 is slow

[little osprey]

IT IS NOT

SLOW

ON GOD

ITS AVERAGE

3000mhz is slow tho

[icy kestrel]

@fossil cedar what are the prices on the intel and amd

[frank stirrup]

I mean 1600 is JDEC for some sticks...

[obsidian wigeon]

it is slow for 5000 series

[frank stirrup]

3200 is slow

[obsidian wigeon]

you actually lose perf below 3600

with ryzen 3000, 3200 was the sweet spot

[little osprey]

wanna know how ik 3200mhz is not slow for that cpu? its bc i own one

and i have no problems

[obsidian wigeon]

we look at benchmarks

there's actually a drop in perf

[little osprey]

and i use it?

by like 2 frames

[obsidian wigeon]

but missed potential

well but like 3600 kits aren't too expensive

[icy kestrel]

Opinions do be diff

[obsidian wigeon]

it's not opinions

[vague oracle]

This ain’t really an opinion

[obsidian wigeon]

it's facts

[icy kestrel]

mb

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mFkLZZ get this, the replaced prices are micro center, they have a deal where 5600x + that motherboard = 20$ off mobo

[vague oracle]

Numbers aren’t opinions

At least last time I checked they aren’t

[little osprey]

yall fr make me sad for humanity on god

3200mhz is not slow

[frank stirrup]

I mean its not a faulty stick to have problems

[little osprey]

its average

[obsidian wigeon]

not for ryzen 5000 series

[little osprey]

foxy

[obsidian wigeon]

we literally told you that

[fossil cedar]

3200 is average, but that's slow for ryzen 5000, fine for Ryzen 2000 and 3000 tho

[obsidian wigeon]

see

that's what we were saying

[frank stirrup]

Going from 3200 to 3600 on my 3600x got me 15% more perf

lmao

[obsidian wigeon]

damn

that's some big jump

[little osprey]

thats like an extra 4 fps

[icy kestrel]

All micro centers?

[obsidian wigeon]

what

[vague oracle]

For me it was like 20% or something

[obsidian wigeon]

15% more isn't 4 fps?

[fossil cedar]

A lot more than 2fps trust me, if you're on intel 10th gen sure, but 11th gen or amd 3000/5000 you wil notice

[obsidian wigeon]

what are you even on lol

[frank stirrup]

15% is not 4 frames...

[obsidian wigeon]

but i'll be civil, cause this is wegg

[vague oracle]

Lmao

[fossil cedar]

Nono, just the replaced(black) prices

[obsidian wigeon]

you do miss quite a bit of perf without going for optimal ram

ryzen is that sensitive

[fossil cedar]

Ohh misread, yeah all mico centers have that deal

[frank stirrup]

unless ur gamin at 30fps

then 15% is like 4 fps

[vague oracle]

Intel it doesn’t matter as much but it still matters

[frank stirrup]

Intel sees mad boosts after 3600mhz

[vague oracle]

Oh it does?

[frank stirrup]

like 4000+

[obsidian wigeon]

oh dang

[little osprey]

im just gonna be quite bc apparently everything i say is wrong and im mentally challenged

[frank stirrup]

if the imc can run it that is

like i7 or i9

[obsidian wigeon]

an i5 wouldn't benefit it? sad

saves cash then

[vague oracle]

Buy like a 3800 kit and OC it to 4000

[fossil cedar]

Noone ever said that lol, we are trying to let you know about some updated info etc

[vague oracle]

Tech changes really quickly

[fossil cedar]

Or 3600 ballistix

[vague oracle]

I wonder if I could pull that off with my kit

4000 Cl14

[frank stirrup]

imc wont be good enough probably

[obsidian wigeon]

yeah

[vague oracle]

Stock it’s a 3600Cl16

[frank stirrup]

doubt ur cpu will be able to

even if ur ram can

[vague oracle]

Yeah I know, 2000 FCLK is difficult

[fossil cedar]

@icy kestrel https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YrjX68 for intel i would go that

[vague oracle]

Is there any harm in trying to go for 2000 FCLK?

[frank stirrup]

Great build

[fossil cedar]

If it's ballistix possibly, but 2000fclk might not be stable on your cpu

[frank stirrup]

Hardware? no
windows? yes

[fossil cedar]

Nope you just wanna make aure it's stable

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

Harm for windows?

[frank stirrup]

unstable ram can destroy a windows install

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

[frank stirrup]

through a bunch of corruptions

[vague oracle]

Not that big of a deal, just wasted time

[fossil cedar]

Bugs n crahses and stuff, sips's left tm5 to run overnight at like 2000fclk and woke up to no windows

[vague oracle]

Yeah that’s annoying

[frank stirrup]

Like for example sippy oced ram and left it overnigt to test, woke up to find no boot option for windows in the bios it was that corrupt

[vague oracle]

How big is the chance of that happening?

[obsidian wigeon]

probably quite

[frank stirrup]

be sure to run sfc /scannow and dism restorehealth thingy every now and then if u OC ram

[obsidian wigeon]

running it very unstable gonna suck

[frank stirrup]

That extreme?

not high

some type of windows corruption is very likely tho

[vague oracle]

So I’d just have to reinstall windows?

[frank stirrup]

nothing sfc /scannow and DISM shouldnt fix tho

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

I already do that regularly

[frank stirrup]

If you do a quick test and go back to XMP that is

[vague oracle]

I’m already running an OC on my ram

Rn it’s at 3800 Cl14

[fossil cedar]

Well rip files too most likely

[frank stirrup]

Is it stable?

[vague oracle]

Yeah perfectly stable

[fossil cedar]

You could probs try cl12 or really tight cl14 timings if not

[frank stirrup]

Have you tested with TM5 Extreme Anta config?

[vague oracle]

Yeah I did

[frank stirrup]

Okay cool

[vague oracle]

It’s been running stable since I got it

Like 2 weeks ago

[frank stirrup]

nice

[fossil cedar]

@vague oracle send pic of zentimings?

[vague oracle]

Give me 13 days

[fossil cedar]

Ohh rip

[vague oracle]

Still in Poland

[fossil cedar]

Ehh fo you know most of the timings?

[icy kestrel]

How much did u spend on ur built pato

[fossil cedar]

Ehh, what iteration lol

[vague oracle]

One sec I have them in my notes somewhere

Yeah it was 14-16-14-34 I’m pretty sure

Not sure if there were typos so I’ll check when I get home

[fossil cedar]

@icy kestrel my original build in 2015/16 or something was like 600€ ish, which was amd fx6300 , r9 380, 8gm ram, 240gb ssd, some CIT case, then i changed to an nzxt s340 because the button power button broke, then i got ryzen 5 3600 with 8gb ram again, then i got a 16gb kit of ram after a while, then i got a tower cooler instead of stock, then i got a 3070, then i upgraded my case to a 4000d airflow, got a 1tb sn550 and an enermax revolution df 750w, to replace my old evga w1 600w

Sooo atm, 1 sec i can price out

[frank stirrup]

HAW u have a 4000d airflow

jealousy intensifies

[vague oracle]

My first build was in a core V31 for so long lmao

Not a bad case just I didn’t need all the space in it

[icy kestrel]

I’m upgrading from a iMac desktop

But Windows is installed

[fossil cedar]

@icy kestrel https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJrHHz this is what i have atm

And a 240gb ancient sata ssd from first build

[vague oracle]

This is my current build and I love it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LNCJLP

[fossil cedar]

Holy storage

[vague oracle]

Yeah lmao

A lot of it is just transferred over from previous builds

The 2 Samsung SSDs are just for aesthetic lol

Because of the glass panel on the cable and SSD sides

If that wasn’t a thing I would’ve bought something either better or cheaper

[icy kestrel]

Yeah lmao what u be doing with 9 tb

[vague oracle]

Oops I only meant to put in one Kingston drive in there

No clue XD

The Seagate I have in there because I shucked some external hard drive I bought for $20 and that’s what came out of it

[vague oracle]

Gaming nothing really, in my other PC I’m using about 16-17 Tb just for files

[frank stirrup]

I hould make my own list like that at some point

[fossil cedar]

Yes, do it, also you like my build X) i didn't realize how much it was worth(r9 380-3070 big more monies lel)

[icy kestrel]

spare storage?

[fossil cedar]

Did sell my r9 380 for like 180 tho so 3070 was basically 550

[icy kestrel]

@vague oracle

[frank stirrup]

Do u really have a ds3h and corsair vengance?

[fossil cedar]

Yep

[frank stirrup]

Performance wise ntb

[frank stirrup]

judging u

[vague oracle]

[frank stirrup]

But imo a mini board in an atx case looks bad

solid otherwise

[vague oracle]

What’s so bad about the DS3H?

[frank stirrup]

when mobo upgrade tho

[frank stirrup]

not much good about it except the price

[fossil cedar]

Keep in mind i bought launch of @frank stirrup 3600 basically and i didn't know enough bout mobos, also didn't know much bout ram when that was "bought" but it was gift so free

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

[frank stirrup]

Ill make make my list after dinner

[fossil cedar]

Not really, prices in Ireland/eu are more cuz tax included

[frank stirrup]

Makes sense

[vague oracle]

Lmao I did the same thing when I got my 3700x/Crosshair VIII Hero bundle

[frank stirrup]

Im talking in general

[vague oracle]

And we both bought Corsair LPX ram because we didn’t know much about ram lol

[fossil cedar]

When i upgrade cpu lol it's actually completely fine for a 3600, and could easily fit a 3700x or 5600x alright

[vague oracle]

My first PC upgrade was Corsair LPX ram

[fossil cedar]

Ahh well lol

[vague oracle]

$400 ain’t a bad price for them but I didn’t know anything at the time

[fossil cedar]

I think i just put ddr4 ram into Amazon and that was the cheapest

[vague oracle]

I did 32Gb DDR4 Ram

[fossil cedar]

That's fair yeah, but it was a decent deal in my case

Spensive 32gb wtf

[vague oracle]

When picking out motherboard and CPU I just searched up best cpu then best Mobo for 3700x

[vague oracle]

I got the kit for $100 or something like that

I didn’t know anything back then so I was “upgrading” from 16Gb 3000 to 32Gb 3000 because I didn’t know that speeds can be increased

[fossil cedar]

Ohh i thought you meant 400 for ram lol

[fossil cedar]

400$ for a 3700x and crosshair mobo is pretty good

[vague oracle]

Yeah I’d say so now

Newegg came in clutch for that

@pastel trout That pc in build pics is nice but almost everything by digital storm is overpriced

[fossil cedar]

The board alone is like 310 or something lol

[vague oracle]

379

[fossil cedar]

21$ 3700x xd

[pastel trout]

ya true

[vague oracle]

Imagine over paying for your 3700x

Couldn’t be me

[pastel trout]

is it hard to bild a pc

[fossil cedar]

Not really, kinda just adult lego

[obsidian wigeon]

^

You'd have more pain taking a laptop apart and putting it back on more than a pc tbh

Some laptops can be so complicated

[pastel trout]

ya like stand alone

[frank stirrup]

@fossil cedar

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jpt6wz

my pee cee

PSU is a lil sus

but power draw isnt high so its fine

next upgrade psu tho

[fossil cedar]

Nice, board big spens tho

[frank stirrup]

Yep

The mobo u have is like 160$ here tho

so yeah

not too bad all in all

[little osprey]

Hey guys I have a general question, if I intend to run virtual machine regularly would it be better to get a cpu with 8 cores instead of 6?

[frank stirrup]

depends what you gonna VM and what u gonna run inside the VM

[little osprey]

I intend to run a video game

Somewhat intense tasks to really unintensive stuff

Main system would be windows, and the vm would be linux

Or would it be better to dual boot, but get components that speed up the process of shutting down and restarting rather than getting a better CPU

[frank stirrup]

running a linux vm in windows is dumb for gaming

it achieves nothing

[little osprey]

I want to learn game hacking and a few repos have trainers written for linux systems

[frank stirrup]

and other than an ssd which you should 100% be getting is pretty much the only way to reduce boot times

[frank stirrup]

why do you want to learn to hack video games

its not nice

at all

I refuse to help or advice you

[little osprey]

Single player games

I understand, apologies for the inconvenience

[fossil cedar]

Yikes

[frank stirrup]

indeed

[fossil cedar]

Just dual boot linux

[desert gulch]

It's not like they will be hacking big multiplayer gamers and stuff

Anti cheat services used would shut down a hack p quick

[frank stirrup]

True but hacking any game is not something I would wanna help someone with

personally

[little osprey]

Need help

What cables do I put In it

[fossil cedar]

Into your gpu ? Thry should be labled pcie

[little osprey]

Never mine

[maiden pawn]

Normally wouldn’t you want your DIMMs in 1/3 or 2/4 when doing dual channel depending on your Mobo?

Re: pic above

[fossil cedar]

2/4

[maiden pawn]

Looks like he has his two in 3/4

[fossil cedar]

Yo, you want your ram in slots 2 and 4 btw, so from left to right, empty, ram, empty, ram

[fossil cedar]

I just noticed that yeah

[little osprey]

Need help with the gpu

Fans won’t spin

What do I do

?

[fossil cedar]

That's normal unless it's under load, but fix your ram, slots wise, as they are currently both running in single channel

[fading oyster]

It’s a 500w psu

[fossil cedar]

3060 needs a 600w psu min

[fading oyster]

I fu

I frickin knew it bruh

My friends are so stupid

[stoic island]

I mean

It works with 500w

Might trip ocp/opp if CPU draw is high

[fossil cedar]

^

[fossil cedar]

Also if it's a meh/bad 500w unit that's def a prob

[earnest olive]

umm

3060 definitely does not need 600w minimum

it's a 170w gpu

almost exactly the same as 2060

sure you need 600w if you're pairing it with an 11900K running avx512 workloads at 5ghz

but for a reasonable CPU pairing no

[fossil cedar]

Meant min recommend but fair

[earnest olive]

i5-11400 cpu? can oc the 3060 to the max on a 450w psu

I'd recommend 500 for that specific setup but 450 wouldn't cause a problem

[fossil cedar]

Fair

I prefer to overshoot wattage tho just cuz

[earnest olive]

r5 5600x? lol even 350w would work for oc

[fossil cedar]

That's fair yeah

[frank stirrup]

Case is utter and total garbage and shouldnt exist. Vengance RAM is bad. Get 3600cl16 crucial ballistix. AIO cpu cooler is also not great and bad for the price and horrible for the cpu. Get either an Arctic Freezer II 360mm or an EK AIO 360mm or a lian li galahad 360mm

@sweet dirge

[sweet dirge]

thanks

[hallow glen]

can I build my system w/o my cpu for now

just putting everything into a case

[frank stirrup]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

5900x is better for gaming btw

[frank stirrup]

it just wont boot up

[hallow glen]

well yeah ik

[frank stirrup]

Looking at other parts it looks like a workstation

[fossil cedar]

Possibly but idk

[frank stirrup]

but yeah that case will deep fry the 5950x

to a nice golden crisp

[fossil cedar]

^

[little osprey]

Is this build worth the price?

[fossil cedar]

What build?

[little osprey]

It’s not loading a picture

[frank stirrup]

send a PC part picker link

beats pictures

[fossil cedar]

Send a link

[little osprey]

It’s a prebuilt I found in store. It has a Ryzen 7 3700x and 2060 with 16 gb ram with 1tb HDD and 240 gg ssd

[desert gulch]

Price?

[little osprey]

$999 whoops my bad

[desert gulch]

I'd get it

You won't find anything better than that online anywhere

How many dimms of ram does it have? Like 1 stick or 2 sticks?

[little osprey]

Not too sure

[desert gulch]

Meh I'd still grab it

Pretty good deal

[frank stirrup]

at 999 I would buy it and new ram if necessary

[fossil cedar]

At 1000 yeah

[jaunty river]

100% worth it

[little osprey]

Ok thank you guys

[jaunty river]

but like they said whats the ram

[little osprey]

I will check

[buoyant peak]

All my parts arrived today and I put it together and it isn’t turning on and I’m not sure why

This is my fire time and I got no clue what I’m doing

[shrewd fjord]

Did you watch videos on how to assemble?

Make sure everything is in correct slot and fastened down properly

[buoyant peak]

im pretty sure it is though

i watched a video on it as welll

[shrewd fjord]

You have it plugged in right?

[buoyant peak]

yup its plugged into the wall

[shrewd fjord]

All cables plugged in to proper parts. CPU ect.

[buoyant peak]

i think so i double checked everything

do you want a picture?

[shrewd fjord]

Yes

Send dms

[buoyant peak]

alright one sec

[buoyant peak]

its still not turning on

[fossil cedar]

what are your specs?

[shrewd fjord]

Everything is compatible from what I can tell

I already told him to try different outlet and that didnt work

[fossil cedar]

@shrewd fjord what where their specs?

[meager nacelle]

Hey uh, I need help again

So I’m plugging in cables and noticed that I have one cable left over and I don’t know where to plug it in

These btw

[hollow grail]

just plug in power and leave everything else empty lol

[meager nacelle]

But then they won’t work no?

[hollow grail]

u dont need anything besides power

[meager nacelle]

Ik but if I wanted another button to work, where would I plug it in?

[hollow grail]

check motherboard manual

pinout is listed there

[meager nacelle]

Like I have a power button, LED button, and reset

[hollow grail]

i only ever plug in power lol

dont plug in the led

[meager nacelle]

Why not?

[hollow grail]

old standard that doesnt work with ssds

unless you want a strobe light

kek

[meager nacelle]

Ah ok

It’s just that there’s the led button so I assumed the LED sw cord would control that

[hollow grail]

no led is for like

[meager nacelle]

And I want to change the blinky lights on my fans or whatever

[hollow grail]

drive activity

[meager nacelle]

Oh

So the button will still work even if that cable is not plugged in?

[hollow grail]

led switch is probs different

[meager nacelle]

Oh

Here need pics?

So what does hdd led do?

[wicked frigate]

Can someone help me with routers and modems

[hollow grail]

oh this guy

[hollow grail]

when hdd is active it goes blink blonk

ssd always active so it just kinda strobes

[jagged ember]

Its nice for seeing drive activity i guess

But all you need is the power sw plugged in

[kind basin]

need SSD recommendations, anyone have any? looking at a rocket 4.0 right nos

w*

[wicked frigate]

Anyone knows about routers

And modems

[fossil cedar]

Sk hynix p31 for fhe high end

[shrewd fjord]

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

[fossil cedar]

Weird, i was thinking mb ryzen 5000, needing bios update or something but that should all be fine lol

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah

[fossil cedar]

I'm guessing a deam ram stick/wrong slots or something

[shrewd fjord]

I'm thinking he messed up on a connection or smth

[fossil cedar]

That too

Was their fans spinning btw?

[shrewd fjord]

It's his first time so its understandable

Nope

No fan movment

[fossil cedar]

Possibly power button wired wrong

[shrewd fjord]

He did smth wrong with power supply maybe

Idk

Pato what is your build

[kindred knot]

Ok I’m back. I got another used asus x570i mobo on Amazon. Connected and installed everything

[fossil cedar]

Cuz I've seen ppl jam the power headers into a usb port

[shrewd fjord]

Oh that hurts me

[kindred knot]

Plugged the power wire on and turned on the psu. The three rgb in the back are on but when powering it on it didn’t do anything. Won’t power on

[shrewd fjord]

@fossil cedar what is your build

[kindred knot]

At least my other mobo powered on. This one just won’t. I tried the button and I tried the screwdriver

[fossil cedar]

https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJrHHz

[fossil cedar]

I was getting it lol

[kindred knot]

Could I have purchased a dead mobo on Amazon used?

[fossil cedar]

All connections correct to board?

[kindred knot]

My wires are all fine. Correctly installed

Yup. Only two connections

[fossil cedar]

What do you have connected

And what specs

[kindred knot]

Psu to mobo and cpu to mobo. Along with the air cooler

[shrewd fjord]

POG setup xd

[fossil cedar]

Thanks lol

@kindred knot what specs for the pc?

[kindred knot]

Asus x570-I Rtx 3080 fe. Corsair sf750. Amd 5950x

Same exact mobo and my previous one that for some reason wouldn’t post after I got back from a two day vacation

[fossil cedar]

@kindred knot you need to plug in the gpu for it to boot

[kindred knot]

It’s all plugged in.

The mobo just won’t power on

[fossil cedar]

You said you just had, cpu and mobo power only

[kindred knot]

My old mobo would at least power on, fans and rgb. This new used one would not power on

[shrewd fjord]

*used

Sketchy

[kindred knot]

Connected to the mobo I meant. The gpu is connected to the psu yes

[fossil cedar]

And have you already updated the bios to support ryzen 5000 @kindred knot

[kindred knot]

I have not since I don’t have another cpu

Would that matter for the mobo just to power on?

[fossil cedar]

Bios flashback, if you have not done that with your previous mobo as well, that's most likely your problem

[fossil cedar]

Yes it can't post without a cpu

[kindred knot]

That’s the problem right now. Nothing is powered on

Not worried about post. Like I said. There’s no power to the mobo. The rgb and fans are not on.

The psu fan doesn’t even spin

[wicked frigate]

Does it really matter on which modem I get

[kindred knot]

Usually the rgb on the mobo and ram come on and the fans on the gpu spin and the psu spin for a sec and stops

[fossil cedar]

@kindred knot well that was most likely problem with last mobo anyway, just try it, sometimes it can fix it

It takes a few mins, worth a shot

[fossil cedar]

Some psus have a hybrid mode?

[kindred knot]

The bios on the last mobo was fine. Everything was fine until I took two as off. Then boom. Will power on but won’t post

[fossil cedar]

Until you what?

[kindred knot]

Two days off of not turning the pc on

[fossil cedar]

Hmm

[kindred knot]

I got a second mobo cuz I assumed the first mobo was dead. I had issues with receiving enough power from the usb. Also both the mobos are used lmfao

[shrewd fjord]

Redo everything jk jk

[kindred knot]

I just ordered a brand new one but won’t arrive until Monday

[fossil cedar]

@kindred knot could be a wack psu

[kindred knot]

Lol I did

Yeah I ordered a new psu too just in case

[fossil cedar]

Psu could have died

Imo that's most likely kinda thing by sounds of things or something

[kindred knot]

That’s crazy since it’s a brand new build since December

[fossil cedar]

Rma it i guess

[kindred knot]

I’ll reinstall the old mobo to see if the power comes on at least

[fossil cedar]

Good idea

[wicked frigate]

So I have a 100 mbps plan and is it overkill if I buy the Motorola MB8600 modem

[buoyant peak]

dms

[river wolf]

Anyone have any experience with slightly bent Ryzen pins? Debating on if it’s worth attempting the fix or if I may as well just get a new cpu.

[little osprey]

Any thoughts about evga psus ? 🤔

[little osprey]

If it fits into socket it would be alright

If its not fitting to socket you can try to fix it but need to be very gentle to it

[fossil cedar]

Why, easier to talk here, other ppl can give their input lol

[buoyant peak]

i cant send links

[fossil cedar]

Linus tech tips has a few vids on it, painful process tho

I'll repost them

[fossil cedar]

I can't see the canada computers page

Gotcha. Honestly only surprised that this is my first time having this happen in god knows how many years of AMD cpus.

[river wolf]

Oh dope I’ll go check those out

AZZA PSAZ-650W ATX Gaming Power Supply - 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified - Intel ATX12V - Single +12V Rail - 120mm Fan - 2x 6+2-pin PCI-E Connectors

[fossil cedar]

They do be but don't think that's the reason they aint booting lol

@buoyant peak you have your cpu, and motherboard power plugged in correctly?

[little osprey]

Lol I didn't scroll up just checked build

[buoyant peak]

im pretty sure how do i properly check?

[fossil cedar]

And ram in slots 2 and 4 so from left to right, empty, ram, empty, ram

[fossil cedar]

Give em a wiggle lol

/push

[little osprey]

Whats the case lol

No cooler spin up ? 🤔

[fossil cedar]

@buoyant peak also, check your mothers manual and make sure the front panel headers are wired up correctly for the power button

[buoyant peak]

ok one sec

yeah coolers arent spinning as well

[little osprey]

Yeah check power button connection . And is there any light on mobo ? Can you make sure it getting power actually?

[buoyant peak]

how do i check the power button connection

i dont think there is any light

[fossil cedar]

Check your manual

And check the headers are on the right pins

[buoyant peak]

i dont think i have any lights on the mobo

[fossil cedar]

@buoyant peak this section here

Re check they are correct

[buoyant peak]

wait for the front panel connectors are they supposed to be in a specific order?

[fossil cedar]

Yes

That specific order

[buoyant peak]

i kinda just plugged it in

without really paying attention to the order

[earnest olive]

..

i sure hope you didn't treat your entire build like that

[buoyant peak]

LOL

whoops looks like i made a mistake

maybe is that why?

[earnest olive]

if you're sending voltage down the wrong pins...

well you're lucky you didn't cause a fire or anything i guess

[fossil cedar]

@shrewd fjord called it lol

[fossil cedar]

Most likely, maybe just make sure your cpu pin is actually labelled cpu etc

[buoyant peak]

ok ill go try and uh correct the order

man i hope it works after

[fossil cedar]

Should do now

[earnest olive]

just hope you didn't break anything lol

if you just wired things randomly definitely could have broken things

[buoyant peak]

i hope so too

i have 4 pins

is that the normal amount

[fossil cedar]

@buoyant peak 4 pins for what?

[buoyant peak]

the. front panel connectors

[fossil cedar]

That's fine, just connect the ones that are there

[buoyant peak]

im nnot sure where to plug the reset sw and power sw

actually just the reset sw

[fossil cedar]

@buoyant peak look bottom row, on the lest

Reset is underneath the power one

[buoyant peak]

ok lemme plug it in

well i plugged it in the correct order and its still not turning on

[earnest olive]

possible you damaged it

some of those pins have polarity

[buoyant peak]

.

now what should i do?

the guy i watched didnt mention anything about the front panel connectors

[fossil cedar]

Check everything else i suppose, mb look at a build guide on YouTube

[fossil cedar]

Watch a different guy lol

[buoyant peak]

he just said its going to be a little tricky and thats it

[fossil cedar]

Was it the verge pc build guide?

@buoyant peak make sure your ram is in slots 2 and 4 so from left to right, empty, ram, empty, ram

[lyric thistle]

Look up your motherboard manual and your case manual

[buoyant peak]

i have them next to each other

[fossil cedar]

Change that

[buoyant peak]

alrighty

[earnest olive]

[lyric thistle]

Maybe you can get the right front panel pinout and plug it in right

[earnest olive]

his ram was next to each other too

maybe it rly was the verge

[lyric thistle]

Verng

[fossil cedar]

Low-key hope it was kek

[lyric thistle]

Tweezers

https://tenor.com/view/creepy-smile-creep-creeper-gif-15479010

[buoyant peak]

uhh nothing changed

[fossil cedar]

@buoyant peak https://youtu.be/v7MYOpFONCU

Follow that build guide

[buoyant peak]

should i restart my build then?

[earnest olive]

well there is a chance that you've irreversibly damaged your motherboard

not high but not zero

[fossil cedar]

Ehhh you can probs keep the cpu, cooler and ram and front panel headers in but the rest i would double check

But you could have damaged it ye

[buoyant peak]

thats scary

i hope not though

[buoyant peak]

what needs to be properly plugged in for it to work?

[fossil cedar]

Small chance but still a chance

[buoyant peak]

yeah my luck must be horrible for it to break

[lyric thistle]

The bottom most pin in my USB 3.0 is bendy

[fossil cedar]

Cpu, cpu cooler, ram, graphics card

[earnest olive]

i mean.. i made zero mistakes and my 3080 still decided to die

[lyric thistle]

Fidgety but it seems to work fine

[wicked frigate]

Guys is there a difference in speed by connecting a ether from modem to oc or router to pc

[buoyant peak]

thats must be tough

[buoyant peak]

but im pretty sure they are all plugged in

[lyric thistle]

Depends on your modem and router model

[earnest olive]

yeah at least i have warranty

[fossil cedar]

And the power for cpu, motherboard, and graphics (if it has graphics power)

[lyric thistle]

If it has a 10/100 connection rather than a 10/100/1000 it will be slower

Pretty sure I'm not brainleting and that's 100mbps and 1000mbps

[fossil cedar]

@buoyant peak make sure your power supply is connected up right too, if your power supply is modular

[lyric thistle]

If the modem is 100 and the router is 1000 it won't matter, but if the modem is 1000 and the router is 100 plug it into the modem

Make enough sense? Lol

[buoyant peak]

up right?

[fossil cedar]

Connected up correctly like

[buoyant peak]

my friend told me to search for something called error light

[lyric thistle]

Check your mobo manual general overview

Should indicate where the led is if it has one

[buoyant peak]

i see some with led but idk if its the correect one

[fossil cedar]

Your motherboard doesn't have one it's a midrange to premium board feature, you have a budget board

[buoyant peak]

oh

uhhhhhhhhh

[lyric thistle]

Mine has a simple power indicator led

[fossil cedar]

A stripe of led is that what tou mean?

[buoyant peak]

led_c1

what is that

[lyric thistle]

Shows when the board gets power and when it's all drained

Another thing you can do is get a little speaker to plug in and it should beep out a code

[fossil cedar]

Doubt they would have one of those tbh, kinda an older thing and it's their 1st time

[lyric thistle]

Yea

Comes with cases usually

Dunno if they have the speaker header on boards these days but if you bought a case you likely have it

[fossil cedar]

They do have the spots usually but none of my cases have came with one

[lyric thistle]

Ah

It might be a low end case thing

[maiden pawn]

Debug LED is so handy

Especially if you don’t build PCs all the time

[lyric thistle]

Diypc always have them I think

Building my first PC, im assuming i should start with the CPU first right?

[fossil cedar]

I just remembered how much you guys pay for college , accepts higher pc part prices now

[wicked frigate]

Yes

Mobo

Cpu

M.2

Ram

Yah cpu

I said above

Yes

[fallow patrol]

Thats the thing, im going to be financing it through my Work and that means ill be paying the Actual price rather than MSRP

[fossil cedar]

Do you mean picking out parts or actually building it?

[fallow patrol]

sorry, picking out parts

and ill be doing gaming and light streaming, but i dont play many hardcore games

things like roguelikes

[lyric thistle]

Mortgage payment

[fallow patrol]

my work actually had a 3090 in stock

[lyric thistle]

No 3090

[fallow patrol]

that was neat to see on the first day

They got a thumbs up from gamers nexus

[fallow patrol]

i sort of want the experience of building it though, and the full customization

[fossil cedar]

But gpu shortage

[fallow patrol]

so the two ABS pc's are running Intel, I would rather run AMD since I do plan to Upgrad the PC as thime goes on. wouldn't intel be a problem for that?

[wide sparrow]

[fallow patrol]

or am i just misremembering something

[marsh kiln]

Going through looking at used computers and I see one the person is asking 900 for this and I dm the person telling them its way over priced and he said they have someone buying it for 800 and I said "that poor fool but ok good luck"

[obsidian wigeon]

yes, am4 and lga1200 are ded once next gen comes

[obsidian wigeon]

lmao that's some bs, but not super bad tho the psu is pushing it for the 980

[marsh kiln]

Yea but throwing a used computer together for that same price 1080 ti for 750 and a old Dell optiplex

And I would not really say am4 will be dead but they won't be the newest am4 has a lots of fast good cpus that run that platform

[obsidian wigeon]

am4 is dead as in no more future cpus

I didn't mean dead as in people won't use it

[lyric thistle]

I might get ryzen 5 5600g or 5600x. Or something in a few decades when I can buy computer

[obsidian wigeon]

tfw i got 1660s machine for 780

much better value

[green pendant]

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best 3700x 3070 prebuilt that rarely has any problems?

[hollow grail]

building it yourself

and why 3rd gen?

[indigo forum]

Need some advise. Where do i place the last cable?

[marsh kiln]

Is it normal for people selling pc parts to want to meet in a police department?

[earnest olive]

yes

[indigo forum]

Ey guys. i got 10900k. upgraded motherboard to z590f gaming. Should i switch to 11 gen CPU?

even though its worse

[lyric thistle]

If you're concerned about meeting in a police station you either hate police or have something to hide

[marsh kiln]

No I was just wondering

Person selling a 3070 and im thinking about getting it

[lyric thistle]

Should ask the pd if you can set up your PC to test it

[marsh kiln]

Or a 1080

[hollow grail]

its so they dont have to shoot you if you try to rob them

cops do it for them

[marsh kiln]

Lol

It just feels kinda sus 3070 still in packaging sealed for 950

[little osprey]

then don't buy it or try to test it out on the spot

lol

[earnest olive]

if you are suspicious bring a thunderbolt enabled laptop with egpu

and use it to test

or bring it a desktop and portable monitor

[little osprey]

Or do it at the library and cram it in their pcs

[earnest olive]

preferably with touch

[little osprey]

[earnest olive]

yeah good luck with that

[little osprey]

Library could use a free gpu

[lyric thistle]

Core2 duo library computer

[earnest olive]

ask the cops if you can shove it into their dell

not gonna have the power connectors

if it's sealed it should be fine anyways

not much they can do to mess with a sealed box
