asrock usually kinda ew tho
little osprey
Lmao
jaunty river
Or dont work like their supposed too
fossil cedar
like asrock fine but only cheap boards imo they dont really have good mid range
obsidian wigeon
im kinda an asus shill
jk i just like em for some of their good stuff
had decent past experience too
so much so i almost picked an asus phone
little osprey
I’ve heard lots of good things about asus motherboards
Usually model over brand but
fossil cedar
honestly gigabyte has decent rgb control
msi ive heard complaints about dragon center sometimes being pain
obsidian wigeon
asus usually makes decent mobos
little osprey
Yeah msi software is usually bleh
obsidian wigeon
well, tuf at least would be good
little osprey
Well i was only looking at it but you get what i mean
fossil cedar
What do you recommend instead then
depends all on the cpu my friend
little osprey
intel
fossil cedar
b560 tuf probs
obsidian wigeon
^
obsidian wigeon
check wegg maybe
sweet dirge
obsidian wigeon
damn that's expensive
little osprey
the prime is like 120
little osprey
Im probably not buying it rn
little osprey
sometime after fall maybe.. depends on situation
12th gen is only releasing K this year right
obsidian wigeon
my 3600x asus oem has prime too
fossil cedar
I think they said the high end
obsidian wigeon
but it's kinda cheaped out
fossil cedar
Cameron you have 9400?
obsidian wigeon
missing headers, a phase of vrm gone
little osprey
Yes
little osprey
so like 12400
fossil cedar
Yup
little osprey
Yeah idek if ill be able to get one for 11th gen
fossil cedar
Cuz 12400 gonna have 10 cores
little osprey
10!!!
fossil cedar
6 big 4 little
little osprey
wow
little osprey
Nah im sticking win win10 for now lol
obsidian wigeon
well in the future win 11 is a need
fossil cedar
those are new odd core config
That's one of the main reasons for win 11 release
obsidian wigeon
ye
little osprey
I guess
fossil cedar
For 12th and am5 you'll need win 11
obsidian wigeon
besides 10 is gonna lose the plug in 2025
little osprey
Ah
I wonder how many different generations of Windows i've used
Vista, 7, 8.1, 10, and 11
I used XP like twice so that doesnt really count
obsidian wigeon
i went from 2000, me, xp, vista, 7, 8.1 then 10
little osprey
Wow
obsidian wigeon
i hopped on 10 so early
back in 2016
it was so glitchy
loves to have a critical start menu error thing
where i need to log out and back in to fix
obsidian wigeon
i've basically been thru every versions of windows 10
little osprey
I can always sell my non rgb on hws or something if i ever want rgb ram
So will current CPU coolers fit 12th gen?
obsidian wigeon
might have an issue
1700 is bigger
well taller afaik
just wait for the future
we might have an answer

my friend keeps insiting i dont buy a pre built everyone else said is good, so I made this in pc part picker and i am going to get a graphics card somewhere else, is this ok https://pcpartpicker.com/list/smFdZZ
this is the pre built I am talking about https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali484/p/N82E16883360079
stoic island
my friend keeps insiting i dont buy a pre built everyone else said is good, so I...
very very weird choices
thick sequoia
I'm not really good at building pcs or anything this is my first time actually trying
stoic island
can you explain the choices..?
little osprey
my friend keeps insiting i dont buy a pre built everyone else said is good, so I...
Budget and use case?
Gaming, content creation, rendering, etc
little osprey
You already got monitor, keyboard, and mouse?
stoic island
and headphones?
little osprey
and the headset?
thick sequoia
yes
thick sequoia
i have everything other than the pc
little osprey
Idk if i would stick with 5700g though
peak ginkgo
But, at the end of the day, its your money so if you prefer your build. Go for it
little osprey
400 usd for a cpu 😬
thick sequoia
ok
little osprey
my friend keeps insiting i dont buy a pre built everyone else said is good, so I...
Also its your money so you decide
peak ginkgo
Idk if i would stick with 5700g though
I missed that...
Here's the updated version
thick sequoia
I was just asking becasue i dont know as much about pc's
fossil cedar
my friend keeps insiting i dont buy a pre built everyone else said is good, so I...
The prebuilt is gonna be better by a good bit and cheaper
thick sequoia
Ok so he said it is bad because its not a good deal but
peak ginkgo
Yup. I would go for the prebuilt. You can upgrade parts in that
He's probably just biased against prebuilts is all
stoic island
quite annoying 11400 is just gone
fossil cedar
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zcBPZZ
Rm is kinda meh, I'd go msi mpg or enermax revolution df, also 3600cl16 ram 100% especially for igpu
stoic island
otherwise I'd do smth like this tbh
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MZqkp2
peak ginkgo
Its either the prebuilt or piece it together which costs more
peak ginkgo
Rm is kinda meh, I'd go msi mpg or enermax revolution df, also 3600cl16 ram 100%...
He chose that, I just left it alone
thick sequoia
I dont know what im doing
fossil cedar
Fair enough
thick sequoia
🦫
little osprey
If you dont know what you're doing i suggest getting a prebuilt
The 3070 prebuilt you sent is a good idea
fossil cedar
I dont know what im doing
Prebuilt vs not is gonna work out basically the same price but you don't have to bother building it, or waiting for 11400 to stop being scalped or hunt for a 3070
peak ginkgo
Prebuilt vs not is gonna work out basically the same price but you don't have to...
This
Now, if you get an Asus prebuilt, you'll run into issues like overheating and Asus using cheap parts but charging you an arm and a leg for it
peak ginkgo
But the ABS, I recommend them to anyone who's new to PC and aren't really technical when it comes to piecing one together let alone building one
little osprey
In your case, yes, but you decide
peak ginkgo
In your case, yes, but you decide
This
fossil cedar
So just the pre built is the better idea
Imo yes it would be for you, less hassle and same price roughly
thick sequoia
Okay
oh my gosh
now my friend is saying to look at this https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureView?urlLangId=&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&storeId=10151&catEntryId=3074457345619755318&quantity=1
but really
little osprey
HP 😬
No no no
what is this
This is basically my pc lol
And i do not recommend that you get it
go for the ABS one instead, or another ABS prebuilt
little osprey
3070 MSRP is 800
If the prebuilt is only 1400 that is a steal
you're basically paying 500 for pc components, 800 for GPU, and 100 for labor
Idk why your friend sent you an HP prebuilt with integrated GPU
desert gulch
3070 MSRP is 800
Is it a aib one?
little osprey
Idk, check the link they sent
thick sequoia
Everyone is saying its fine other than him
fossil cedar
now my friend is saying to look at this https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureV...
No offense but if you're friend recommended hp over abs they don't really know pcs that well
fossil cedar
God my friend keeps saying it’s overpriced but i feel like getting it
It's not
little osprey
Yeah
lmao
1400 usd for a 3070 prebuilt is not overpriced
thats an amazing deal
fossil cedar
700 is basically the lowest you gonna get 3070
thick sequoia
See thats what I thought
little osprey
Yeah idk where your friend is learning this stuff lol
If you're playing VR the 3070 prebuilt will be 
fossil cedar
Even if normal gaming it will be 
thick sequoia
Awesome
fossil cedar

fossil cedar
Hp uses proprietary stuff(basically all oems do)
desert gulch
Lenovo I think may too
fossil cedar
Hence the etc
thick sequoia
Whats great that it will last so i dont have to spend as much more
fossil cedar
Yeah, ik my it's gonne be like 6 years if not 7 til i update my 3070
But that's me
I mainly play esports
little osprey
i have a 1650 and it probably could last me another year or two
thick sequoia
Whats great to is that im learning how to edit videos soon
little osprey
Ooooh

Lenovo I think may too
Lenovo doesn’t, at least the 7i legion desktops don’t

Well the 2 of the ones I had didn’t use proprietary parts

Lenovo doesn’t, at least the 7i legion desktops don’t
im suprised lol

I bought my dad a legion desktop and swapped out the motherboard in it and I didn’t have to swap out the PSU in it
little osprey
Wow

And surprisingly the cases on those legion 7is are pretty good
Not sure about rad support or not but the entire front of it is mesh
fossil cedar
Lenovo doesn’t, at least the 7i legion desktops don’t
Nice, I'm sure the office stuff is proprietary tho lol
little osprey
Yeah
vague oracle
Most likely
earnest olive
Hp uses proprietary stuff(basically all oems do)
not always
their omen gaming desktops have been using standard atx mb and atx psu
nice change of pace
they actually use GOOD power supplies too
the cases and coolers still leave something to be desired
but.. baby steps

Ahh yes the h510 competitor

there's one that has some mesh in front of the intake fan I think
I don't want prebuilts to get too good though

Abs 
little osprey
Abs
earnest olive
sold the 4670 for $38 to buy xeon e3-1241v3 for $65
and added another 8gb ram
gonna use it as a core for a budget gaming system
prob a good pairing with gtx 1060
fossil cedar
Pog
earnest olive
ABS is my biggest threat LOL
actually good prebuilts
mine are still better quality of course but sometimes I can't compete with those prices
little osprey
mine are still better quality of course but sometimes I can't compete with those...
So humble
earnest olive
So humble
I mean... I'm pretty sure my custom builds are better than prebuilts
if they're not I'm a failure of a builder

#build-pics message, due to lack of space and college hardware needed I’ll be setting for a laptop, I think this is a right price/quality range, what do yah think?
little osprey
Are you going to be gaming on it?
3050ti will be pretty meh for gaming but it will work for low settings
obsidian wolf
It will not be for gaming, I mostly play Strategy games and Citie skylines, so no really looking forward to play games like call of duty or any of that. I will mostly use it for coding & video rendering since I’m looking forward to continue my YouTube channel + I’m trying to see what is my passion in the tech area, probably going for degree in a cyber security or a software engineer setting.
Not really looking forward to game anymore, probably in the future I’ll do my own pc. But for now this is right do to the quality/price range, what do you think?
little osprey
Probably fine
Not bad for the price in my opinion, id wait for more perspectives from others though
clever eagle
if you overclock from 3200mhz to 3600mhz and your timings are set to auto
do they change automatically?
clever eagle
not me
my friend who just decided to randomly go in bios and adjust the ram frequency
earnest olive
auto tends to go very very very loose
just don't bother ram overclocking if you don't want to put in the time
turn on xmp and forget about it
ram ocing is not meant for most users
the 3050ti is a baffling product
4gb vram in 2021 makes it worse than the 1660 super in some situations
clever eagle
i dont think he is using xmp
earnest olive
then tell him to turn on xmp
or actually put in the time to do a proper oc
don't just put 3600mhz with auto timings
you'll end up far worse than xmp
clever eagle
don't just put 3600mhz with auto timings
he did
clever eagle

@marsh adder bruh what's that one fan just under your heater
vast cosmos
Lol
marsh adder
It's a desktop fan strapped to a frankenstein laptop with zipties.
The memory controller is cooled by a Raspberry Pi heatsink and the Debian Server login always says 101°C, but I suspect the sensor is broken.
I host my parents' work's servers, my NextCloud instance, Matrix, and a couple other things on it. Definitely a terrible idea (esp since we have a cat) but hey why not have some fun.
Ah, and the best part is that there is no 4-pin fan header on that board. So the fan cable is split and connected using jumper cables to the SATA power's 12V rail.

General fix for random windows problems
From an admin command prompt or powershell, run:

If that doesn't work, try:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Then, try running sfc again.
Repeat as necessary
also is your pc overheating?
you can check temps with hwinfo64

Is it better to buy your build without a graphics card (or very low cost one) now and wait for them to go down or just buy prebuilds.... I wanna build my own xD but dang these things have taken off too much for me xD
The itch for a new computer is strong... Will prices even come back down haha
little osprey
Is it better to buy your build without a graphics card (or very low cost one) no...
Both works
If you build your own PC without a graphics card, make sure you get a CPU with integrated graphics (iGPU)
Prebuilts are fine too, i recommend getting them from a company named ABS on Newegg

Dunno if those are even close to being worth 10k

I'll check, they may be a little less
someone said it was worth because it was Origin

There's a lot of random 💩 thrown in there to make it seem like its worth it
Origin is owned by corsair
corsair also owns elgato

r3 1200 and 500gb hard drive with a 1080?
all the budget went into the 1080
1070 with better cpu and an ssd would have been such a better experience
icy kestrel
I'd get this power supply instead https://pcpartpicker.com/product/v3VG3C/msi-mp...
I already bought the psu

do fans spin
ripe stream
Yup
earnest olive
take out 1 ram stick, disconnect hard drive and all usb devices, clear cmos, and retry
no, you don't need a hard drive to get into bios
it'll either go directly into bios or complain about no boot media

Tried that on already to only left connect was graphics and cpu fan

@ripe stream some core part in there has to be dead then
frank rain
Hey guys. I got a question about WiFi card or cable. Which one do I should get?!?
earnest olive
if you have to ask, the answer is ethernet
only use wifi when you physically cannot use ethernet
frank stirrup
only use wifi when you physically cannot use ethernet
or ur too lazy to route ethernet
frank rain
Okay, then what kind WiFi card do I should get?
frank rain
Cuz I’m gonna move in new apartment, but the problem is I can’t plug Ethernet. So, I’m not sure which brand that work the best.

good cable management
specs? i think i see ballistix ram 😳
i5-11400, scythe fuma 2, b560 mobo, sn550?
earnest olive
can't see the ssd

just guessed based on everyone's favorite ssd here

Hahahah
Other than that
This is the cable management
Its my first build
I dont know much about computers
But I want the back to be as neat as possible
Even if its not visible

Not bad at all on cable managing
earnest olive
yeah after i got decent at it i started building them to sell

Damn
Looks really really nice
Wish i had rgb
Tbh i got atx board just because it looks better
When gpu is mounted lol
Cause its lower
I hate when theyre crapped up between each other
past bane
Not bad at all on cable managing
Thanks but i think theres still some thing that maybe could be better
earnest olive
rgb is always something you can add later
earnest olive
found one yesterday
paid
seller cancelled it
maybe he put wrong price
it was only $565 incl tax and shipping for a triple fan 3060ti
i need to find another 3060ti/3070 as well i have a customer that needs a good gpu for high end video editing workstation

ram on each side looks cool

Was the cheapest ATX board I could find for that socket, still have 4 more slots to fill

no u

just yoinked the braided cable from the old rig since the top rad hides the cpu cable anyways
oh
wait you meant my first build
yeah
I made a lot of cable management mistakes
part mistakes too
it's pretty awful

Lmao improvement is good
earnest olive
but it was my first build and I didn't get any help
all things considered it wasn't terrible
part wise
the cable management is definitely eye bleeding terrible

Decent but I'd go b550 msi gaming edge wifi or asus tuf b550 wifi
echo vale
just cause theyre better or is there another reason?
little osprey
Cause they are better
doesn’t mean strix b550f is terrible just means that there is overall better boards
echo vale
do those 2 have 2 pcie 4.0 ports? for m.2
echo vale
i dont understand tht at all if im being honest, my question is do those boards have 2 M.2 PCIe Gen 4 slots
cause i have 2 m.2s
stoic island
One is gen 4 one is gen 3
echo vale
hmm
stoic island
Forgot if some of those boards have 3 m.2 slots but yea
echo vale
so shouldnt i be looking for one tht can run both slots at the same speed or no
or is it not worth it
fossil cedar
so shouldnt i be looking for one tht can run both slots at the same speed or no
Nah gen 4 is pointless for general consumers(at least atm)
echo vale
oh
the m.2 i have is gen 3 anyway
thanks for answering my questions with only brain cell i have lol
fossil cedar
Np
stoic island
so shouldnt i be looking for one tht can run both slots at the same speed or no
They're at full speed for their protocol
stoic island
Ye
echo vale
okay cool
between tuf and gaming edge which ones better or do they both have basically the same amount of features?
fossil cedar
Only could if you bought gen 4 drives but p31s are 1 of the highest end anyway
Pretty sure gaming edge is better but both are solid
echo vale
kk thanks you very much
i couldve just linked my part picker list but its changed alot over the past couple weeks
didnt expect to pick up a 3080ti or a z73 cooler lol

With my current system of i5-8400 and GTX 1070, and 1080p 144, which is the first for gaming upgrade? Max is i7-9700 for proc, or gpu? Play Warzone 1080p 144. Looking forward to Battlefield 2042, Diablo 4. I would like to upgrade to 1440 eventually. Which of those three would be most benefit.

Hard drive is wd green 500 gb
Is the specs for my pc. I've tried my CPU in another computer works fine my graphics card in another computer it's fine ram fine. My computer will not post on my mother board. I was incredibly carefully putting it together. Grounded out static ban clean hands and such. Mother board had standoffs already setup for it. I still have no post it turns the fans spin. The ezled flashes my graphicss card CPU and boot device. I've had 2 mother boards and cpus do this to me so either I've got to motherboards from different company's that have the same issue I'm missing some stupid little thing. Or I've gotten to mother boards that are duds. For two different cpus. Please help
viral ore
disconnect the HDD and GPU, try again
see if the diag lights change in some way, or if they are the same
ripe stream
Tried this they flash but don't stay on which is according to my mother board the way it's supposed to tell me somethings wrong they stay on not flash
viral ore
ok, but is it different than if the HDD or GPU were installed?
ripe stream
It's acting like they don't exist. Now I see what your saying. They do the same plugged in or not
stoic island
might as well clear cmos
viral ore
is your CPU aux power cable connected?
also yeah, go ahead and pop the cr2032 battery out of the board
don't need it lol
for now, at least
stoic island
board doesn't have extra 4 pin
viral ore
but it has a single 4 pin, right?
ripe stream
No it's 8 pin
stoic island
single 8 pin
viral ore
so it's attached
ripe stream
I've tried clearing CMOS and resetting the bios
viral ore
double check it and make sure its seated properly
ripe stream
Yes I have CPU 4 plus 4 going into it

Just pulled them and reseated them.
Same issue
I've also tried three completely different ram sticks at this point

my laptop draws like 90W in bursts
but sticks close to tdp for a longer all core load like cinebench
my laptop is one of the few models that still allows comet lake undervolting
could be why

Ah probably related, less heat means more boosting time
I should probably bench my old laptop too, I can't imagine anyone else has benched a Turion 2 processor. Maybe I'll even slap in the original V120 single core.
