[earnest olive]

?

1tb hard drives can be found for $20

[worn wave]

A used 1tb HDD is not worth $100

[earnest olive]

and considering this is in a 10 year old system

[worn wave]

Is this system a Dell optiplex?

[earnest olive]

it's probably not that far from failing

[iron wind]

Hold up

[earnest olive]

even 1tb nvme ssds can be had for less than $100 lmao

[iron wind]

Lemme get the link

[potent portal]

Is there another kind?

[worn wave]

Wdym?

[iron wind]

Ok. Where can I send the link

[potent portal]

Only optiplex I know is dell

[worn wave]

Here

[earnest olive]

we don't need to see it

[worn wave]

Im curious

[earnest olive]

you should not look at a pc like this for $370

lmao

[worn wave]

It's awful and you should not buy it.

[earnest olive]

$100 tops

i'm sticking with it

[iron wind]

Ok ok.

[potent portal]

White name can't link

[worn wave]

Oh

[earnest olive]

it has a processor that was considered bottom of the barrel over 10 years ago

no ssd

a graphics card designed for office pcs that loses to modern integrated graphics

it shouldn't be hard to build a pc that's 6-7x as powerful for $370

[quaint swan]

Does anyone know if bots get all the gpus when they’re in stock on Best Buy

[obsidian wigeon]

It's not always bots

It's people

Lots just wants a gpu at this day

[potent portal]

Best buy has been doing in store drops lately too

[obsidian wigeon]

^

They're in huge demand so ya

[jagged ember]

Sometimes exclusively in store

[worn wave]

Most drops are in store I do believe for Best Buy

[quaint swan]

How can I make sure I get a gpu when its in stock?

[obsidian wigeon]

Go to your local best buy I suppose

[potent portal]

If you're near microcenter they have some in stock right now at most branches, mostly the expensive models but still...

[quaint swan]

Sold out at my local one. Is there a way to get an email when they’re in stock?

Well Best Buy sells 3060 ti for $399

[potent portal]

Each MC does it differently, you can ask

[potent portal]

That's the FE model only

[quaint swan]

So?

[potent portal]

Good luck getting that, it's literally the most desirable model because lower price

[echo vale]

the way my microcenter did it is they have a code u pinned the the front of the store u scan the qr code with ur phone camera and it puts u on a waiting list it randomizes ur position and they call everyone to the front who got a text saying theyve been selected to receive a voucher and usually its one or 2 cards

[earnest olive]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pMnJcT this is below $370 lol @iron wind

would run circles around that i3-2120 + gt 710 + no ssd

[echo vale]

the only thing is im pretty sure theyre getting mostly 3080tis and 3060tis cause when i was there 2 days after a drop occured they had remnants of 3080ti shipments

lol

[potent portal]

Circles? It's running whole laps around the 2120/710

[earnest olive]

practically achieving liftoff

i didn't even put dealhunter prices on the used stuff

those are just pretty normal prices

[iron wind]

I’m liking it. Will one fan be enough?

[earnest olive]

case comes with 2

[iron wind]

Oh ok

[clever eagle]

yes

[wispy matrix]

just give us a budget and amd or intel

prebuilt or built

[vague oracle]

Why specifically the i7 10th gen?

[wispy matrix]

thats what i was gonna say

[vague oracle]

What’re you going to be using it for?

[potent portal]

For around 2k you can do buildredux and get a 5600X/3070 system

[wispy matrix]

i would go with amd but its up to you

[vague oracle]

Rendering personally I’d go ryzen and nvidia

[vague oracle]

BuildRedux can really high markup on their parts right now from what I’ve seen

For rendering I’d go for the 5900x

[potent portal]

Ryzen 5000 are the top dogs right now in almost everything

[vague oracle]

5950x if you really need the 16 cores but I doubt you do

I have a 5900x in my CAD/ rendering and it’s handled everything I threw at it

[wispy matrix]

amd is also made for gaming

[vague oracle]

Ehhh

Not sure where you heard that

Don’t bother with build redux

[potent portal]

It's a processor
It's made for processing

[vague oracle]

This doesn’t seem to be that bad

https://www.amazon.com/GA15DK-Desktop-GeForce-Windows-GA15DK-AS776/dp/B08ZRTRLR9

[potent portal]

Yeah maybe nzxt-bld instead of buildredux

[vague oracle]

Oh god not NZXT BLD

Even higher markup than build redux

[potent portal]

Are they? It's usually one or the other is good

[desert gulch]

Kracken + h510 🤢

[vague oracle]

A 3060 build is 1900

With a 5600x

[desert gulch]

Bruh lol

[vague oracle]

These are your only AMD cpu options

[earnest olive]

custom building isn't that bad anymore that prebuilts would be cheaper

[potent portal]

Yeah better to do custom right now for sure but only if you can get a GPU

[earnest olive]

like if you have 2k to spend on a 3070 prebuilt you could definitely pick up a 3070Ti for 900 off of r/hws and end up below 2k total build cost

[vague oracle]

Sips what do you think of that Asus prebuilt I sent?

Any good?

[earnest olive]

that 3 heatpipe cooler and poor airflow case

prepare for 5800x to become chernobyl recreation

not a fan of the blower 3070 either

[vague oracle]

Oh shoot I didn’t see that 3 heat pipe cooler

[earnest olive]

though i suppose blower might be better in such a bad looking case

[vague oracle]

It’s a blower 3070?

Forgot those existed

[earnest olive]

looks like it to me

i don't see an axial fan there

[vague oracle]

Yeah looks like a blower

Nah it’s passive

[earnest olive]

$1955 + tax is a very premium price

[potent portal]

They usually slap whatever model they can get into those prebuilts, not always the one pictured

[desert gulch]

Ye

[earnest olive]

my city has pretty low sales tax and that would total out to 2126.06

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JvdYkX you could buy a scalped 3070ti, double the storage, get better ram/ssd/cooling, much better case, and still come out with significantly lower price

buying a prebuilt for the cheaper gpu is dead imo

[potent portal]

If you're rendering you probably want 32gb

11700 is comparable to the 5800X, worse than the 5800X in some cases

[earnest olive]

we're back to the point where buying a prebuilt is for buying a prebuilt

[potent portal]

Needs more cores for rendering, it wasn't just gaming

[earnest olive]

fair

[wispy matrix]

i was on clx gaming and this is what i found lmao

[potent portal]

They're delusional if they think that'll sell

[wispy matrix]

yeah

[earnest olive]

the sad part is it probably will

they just gonna find someone uninformed enough

[wispy matrix]

most likely

[earnest olive]

i ran 3070 and 3080 both 100% load on a 650w

it was fine

yall overestimate psu needs

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xmNFvf

still cheaper and better than the prebuilt

and thats overpaying for a 5800x

[potent portal]

If it's a decent quality unit sure, it's fine. It's the 3080 and up that have transient load issues where higher power is more helpful.

[earnest olive]

B tier

seasonic core gm

[potent portal]

Good 'nuf

[earnest olive]

started mining on it not realizing that afterburner decided not to apply settings

so they were both running full blast stock wattage

for 20 mins

r/hardwareswap

[potent portal]

20 minutes isn't enough to trigger OTP if it was too much power for the fan to handle'

[earnest olive]

wont take that long to find one

[inland yarrow]

Would yall say that a dell xps pc is a good gaming pc?

[potent portal]

NO

[earnest olive]

everything dell is bad

[potent portal]

Even Alienware, which is Dell

[inland yarrow]

Damn

[earnest olive]

except maybe their monitors

[vague oracle]

The fact that I almost bought an Alienware just to rip a 3090 out of makes me cringe

[earnest olive]

😳

yumy green pcb 3090

[inland yarrow]

Whats a $1000 pc yall would recommend?

[potent portal]

You saw that video too huh? Where the Dell 3090 was the only good thing in that system?

[vague oracle]

Wait the 3090 in it was good?

I ended up buying an NZXT prebuilt for 3k and ripped the 3090 out of it

[potent portal]

It didn't overheat or anything once it was removed from the hotbox it came in

[vague oracle]

Woah

Oh yeahhh that guy on tiktok

[potent portal]

Check Newegg for ABS computers, or do you feel comfortable building one?

[inland yarrow]

I dont feel comfortable building one

[potent portal]

Yeah ABS is a good enough brand

[inland yarrow]

Abs doesnt have a gaming pc $1000 and under

[earnest olive]

feel like he could point at a rock and that statement would still be valid

[potent portal]

Look local on craigslist, facebook market, etc, or check r/hardwareswap in the morning

If you're near a microcenter you could pretty easily get something like a 6700XT (3070 equivalent) for like $700

[earnest olive]

keep looking on r/hws i see a lot around 900

you just have to be fast

[potent portal]

You can ask them when their next shipment is, if you're lucky they'll tell you or put you on a notification list

Each one restocks different days but I've commonly seen Tuesday and Friday

[potent portal]

Found the video https://youtu.be/_8k5PCmFm7c

Puts $499 in title
Says in description it's $1500

Looks legit at least, I'd offer like $1200 and see if he'll meet in the middle at $1300 or so

[echo vale]

does anyone know where to buy thermal pads to replace the putty ones on a 3080ti?

[potent portal]

Amazon

[echo vale]

is it just called thermal pads?

[potent portal]

I got these ones personally, you can buy a few different sizes to try to match the height of the ones on there and return what you don't need https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YYJ299Y

[echo vale]

awesome thank you so much

[potent portal]

You want pads with a fairly high W/mK rating but you don't need to spend $100 on them, 12W is about the sweet spot for me

[echo vale]

kk

[earnest olive]

i've tested both gelid gp-extreme and thermalright odyssey

both are good

[delicate plume]

MSI MPG Series A750GF Power Supply?

[fossil cedar]

Good power supply

[little osprey]

Hello guys do i need an anti static shock bracelet or do I build in certain places/with certain clothes on

[jagged ember]

Just plug in the psu

And touch metal parts of it for destaticing

[fossil cedar]

^just plug your psu into a socket and touch every so often if you're worried but parts are pretty static resistant these days so i wouldn't worry hugely

Just don't build it on a carpet

If you have to build it in a room with carpet wear shoes and put it on a table

[jagged ember]

Oh yeah I should have said no carpets around if possible

[austere condor]

actually have a question for something i cant figure out
has anyone set up RGB control on an asrock motherboard?
the polychrome software doesnt work
how do i control the 5v header?
it wont even launch the program unless you have a asrock graphics card or asrock USB RGB controller
i just want to control the 5v header thats built into the motherboard

[fossil cedar]

Someone else had problems with this before i believe but can't remember if they got to work, @earnest olive has a b550 steel legend iirc tho they might know

[austere condor]

i figured it out

you have to go to the specific motherboard model drivers page

and download THAT version of the RGB software

not the generic one they post on the main page to download

[fossil cedar]

Lol

[earnest olive]

@austere condor even better use OpenRGB

[austere condor]

i figured it out

[earnest olive]

polychrome takes very long to start up

[austere condor]

you have to go to the specific motherboard model drivers page
and download THAT version of the RGB software
not the generic one they post on the main page to download

[earnest olive]

using an asrock board in my personal rig

polychrome was working but I ditched it for openrgb

neither one wants to control my ram though

everything else is dandy

[uncut pelican]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RGnrNP

Opinions?

[fossil cedar]

Like all of that needs to be changed

Budget of 500?

@uncut pelican does the buid need wifi?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NzbfQD

Cooler can be removed from the list and added later if needed

[quaint swan]

https://maingear.com/product/vybe-rtx-3060-ti/

Could someone explain why this has such good specs for $1699?

[obsidian wigeon]

I dunno about their quality so idk

Just look at newegg with abs systems tbh

They got a 3070 for 1499

That psu choice is not good

It could be a crappy evga psu

Even one that burns down, who knows. The N1 is known as fire hazard

[peak ginkgo]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali484/p/N82E16883360079?item=N82E16883360079&source

[quaint swan]

Is an i5 even that good with a 3070?

[obsidian wigeon]

it's enough lol

10400 ain't slow

it's like a 3600

[quaint swan]

Ryzen 5?

Idk much about cpus

[obsidian wigeon]

that 5600x vybe thing isn't safe to use

the PSU isn't enough for the gpu

[quaint swan]

Yeah it would need 650W 80 plus gold

[obsidian wigeon]

500w on a 3060Ti, eehhh

[icy blaze]

Whats the best Newegg pc for under 1800 AU?

[fossil cedar]

No it don't lol

[fossil cedar]

Better than 3600

[obsidian wigeon]

ah good

[fossil cedar]

The one infite linked is better

Cpu isn't as good but rest is better

[quaint swan]

Ok I was just looking at prebuilts because I was feeling lazy

I’m still probably building one myself

[fossil cedar]

Not really worth getting an abs prebuilt at that price, 1800 aud won't even get you the 2060 i5 10400 build

[icy blaze]

ive found a pc thats got a 3060 and 5600x for 1600 AUD on BPC tech

[fossil cedar]

Yeah that's way better

[quaint swan]

Will a 1660 super work with i9-10850k and is it easier to get than a 3060 ti FE? (Probably is)

[peak ginkgo]

@little osprey https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali484/p/N82E16883360079?item=N82E16883360079&source

[little osprey]

are prebuilts better than building atm?

[little osprey]

Damn that’s pretty good but my@budgets 1k or lower 😔

[peak ginkgo]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali416-master/p/N82E16883102994R?quicklink=true

[little osprey]

Ooo alr i’m probably gonna be getting that one

[fossil cedar]

1660 super will, is an okay gpu to do you until you can get better but only if you get if for like 250 or under, and no the 3060 ti is rarer than unicorns

Look at 3060s or 3070s

[peak ginkgo]

Its a good price and it comes with an RTX 2060 and meets your pricepoint.

[formal girder]

so my friend has their storage and their gpu but asked me to put together a list of parts to get a little upgrade under $500 and want to see if there is any adjustments i need to make https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Pdzxp2

[fossil cedar]

I would return the ssd for starters

[formal girder]

they wanted to keep it cause it pretty much gifted to them as a birthday gift for their old prebuilt

[fossil cedar]

Ehh okay

But the have 500$ for the non purchased parts?

@formal girder do they want micro atx?

[formal girder]

yeah

[fossil cedar]

Aight

[formal girder]

small small desk

[fossil cedar]

@formal girder they want wifi?

Or any other features?

[formal girder]

they run ethernet

[fossil cedar]

Aight

@formal girder https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7WCc8J

[peak ginkgo]

I like this build

[formal girder]

ok thanks ill send them the list and let them buy it cause when i go see them again they will have me build it

[peak ginkgo]

Nice, keep us posted

[formal girder]

will do

[fossil cedar]

I am not keen on the ssd but yeah rest is nice

[formal girder]

i said the same to her

[fossil cedar]

I mean it's not gonna be baddd

Like if it was 40$ then it would be reasonable but ye

Can get an mp33 for that

[formal girder]

yeah but it was a gift so cant complain for a free ssd

i just assumed the price on the price list for the ssd

[fossil cedar]

True

Ahh

It probs is 50$ tbf

[formal girder]

ive seen that at my staples for like $60 and i just stood there in disgust looking at the price

[fossil cedar]

[formal girder]

yeah i mainly go there to do pickups for friends when they need switches or adapters

[little osprey]

yo so sadly i wasn’t able to get the prebuilt due to like too much cost at once so is there any good pc part picker lists u know abt under 1k? plz and thank u

[fossil cedar]

Buying parts 1 buy 1 is a terrible idea, you want to order them all within like 2 weeks incase of any dead parts etc

[little osprey]

Oh dang, i just don’t really have the money sadly to buy it all at once or within 2 weeks

[fossil cedar]

Just save it up

[little osprey]

Wait@oh yeah i forgot lmao ok thx

But u guys have any good 1k or lower pc part picker list?

[fossil cedar]

Ehh lemme see

@little osprey 1k usd? You need wifi etc?

@little osprey https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VXjQrr

3060 but 3060 ti/3070/6700xt if you're super lucky

[little osprey]

O tysm

[fossil cedar]

It kinda relies on a lotta luck tho

And just as good as the 1k prebuilt

[uncut pelican]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TCpnxc

Would get the cooler if possible

[uncut pelican]

It's obviously very budget, its for my mom to do calls and her work

[fossil cedar]

Well that will be a beautiful office machine

Could probs save on psu if not adding a graphics card

@uncut pelican https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ghq8Dc I'd do that then

[zealous cedar]

My dumb ass forgot gravity existed so I applied thermal paste while the pc was standing

[desert gulch]

Why not 10105?

If tight budget

[uncut pelican]

Definitely won't add a gpu ty

[desert gulch]

Also a rly cheap b460 and wifi adapter may be easier

[fossil cedar]

you could but 6c nice but 30$ savings, suppose its up to them but i would pay the extra 30$

[desert gulch]

Its not like having faster ram will really help in office setting

[fossil cedar]

yeah mb i was avoiding adapter for gpu but imma reconfig a bit

[desert gulch]

You can find a z590 for the same price bro

[fossil cedar]

huh?

a crappy asrock one

[desert gulch]

Yeah but it's still cheaper

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mn7Fvf

I'd get the Mobo on this list

[fossil cedar]

@uncut pelican https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LV7Fvf this actually is what id do

[desert gulch]

Then you gotta buy a wifi adapter

One on my list has one included

[fossil cedar]

ohh actually the mobo you used ye

[uncut pelican]

Ebic

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4sXqj2

[desert gulch]

Also you can save like 5 bucks by going mp33 if needed

[fossil cedar]

this one ^

[fossil cedar]

yeah i was gonna but i think sn550 worth the 5$ if available

[desert gulch]

Maybe

[little osprey]

hm

[neat helm]

Dhhdbfir

[desert gulch]

What abt it?

[sand falcon]

The bigger hmm

[desert gulch]

Ye we fixed that

I just suggested the cheapest b560 with wifi lol

Was actually cheaper than crap b560 + wifi adapter

[sand falcon]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vibox-VIII-27-Gaming-PC-Processor/dp/B08XQXKNQW/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=gaming%2Bdesktop&qid=1628884544&sr=8-13&th=1&psc=1

Yes

[sand falcon]

Is that price before or after VAT?

[neat helm]

Idk but its not a big difference

Is vibox trusted

[little osprey]

cx 550 is like 15 usd more, is this build not going to have a gpu in it?

[desert gulch]

Forgot the PS5 ran at 30fps

My bad

[little osprey]

lol usb wifi dongle go brrr

[sand falcon]

I thought VAT was 20%

[desert gulch]

Look at it, it's not gonna be a high tier gaming build

[neat helm]

Ill see that for later but like is the company legit?

[desert gulch]

With an igpu build, it won't help at all to get a cx550

[little osprey]

i’d go with the cx 550w, would be a lot better for future upgrades

[desert gulch]

It's literally a cheap office build

We're trying to be as cheap as possible here

[sand falcon]

I've never heard of it, not feeling too great about the picture

[little osprey]

office building doesn’t really need a 10400. a used 10100 would suffice even.

[neat helm]

[little osprey]

and might as well just go dirt cheap on the B560 boards, unless ur tryna mess with 10400 power limits…

[sand falcon]

Do you need 32GB of ram?

[desert gulch]

I suggested 10105 but pato said no

[fossil cedar]

office pc

[fossil cedar]

Prices in the uk and rest of eu are after vat

[sand falcon]

It seems to be a competitive price for the UK, but the build quality doesn't look promising

[neat helm]

Yeah kinda

[fossil cedar]

They needed WiFi, cheaper than bottom of barrel board +adapter

[neat helm]

Person pato, please tell me your thoughts about this //www.amazon.co.uk/Vibox-VIII-27-Gaming-PC-Processor/dp/B08XQXKNQW/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=gaming%2Bdesktop&qid=1628884544&sr=8-13&th=1&psc=1

[fossil cedar]

1 sec

[desert gulch]

10900f and 3070?

[sand falcon]

Wegg has this https://www.newegg.com/global/uk-en/abs-ali484/p/N82E16883360079?quicklink=true

It'll need monitor, peripherals, and the extra ram

[fossil cedar]

it looks aight but id check scan and box for their builds

and newegg

[peak ginkgo]

This

[sand falcon]

No clue what the upgrades will run

[desert gulch]

The Amazon one may have a stock cooler

[sand falcon]

Maybe 300 pounds?

[desert gulch]

Altho it may just be a stock image

Since it has a GTX card in it

[peak ginkgo]

Probably, not sure about the build quality that's for sure

[desert gulch]

Mhmm

Never heard of them

[peak ginkgo]

The ABS one is better, imo

[fossil cedar]

Uk :us is roughly 1:1

[sand falcon]

reviews mention loose components and cables

[peak ginkgo]

Ewwwww

Talk about QC or lack of

[desert gulch]

Dell: "what's that?"

[sand falcon]

QC "if it posts it's good, right?"

[desert gulch]

It it lights up it's good

No need to post

Too much work

Only RGB matters

[peak ginkgo]

That's how most of these companies operate.

Turn on, verify power light, unplug and package

No customer support either, I'm sure

[desert gulch]

Probably

Only Amazon 30 day thing

[stoic island]

Hey, they can blame it on shipping xD

[little osprey]

then why board with onboard wifi + adapter lol..

[fossil cedar]

I didn't? If i did it was mistake and fixed anyway

[little osprey]

^

[fossil cedar]

@uncut pelican https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cTpL3Z btw just realized the wifi adapter at the bottom of the list was in there from previous one

[fossil cedar]

Just saw, i stg i took it off just an error

Wasn't on purpose

[little osprey]

budget is sub 500?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xRYYkX would do this.

[desert gulch]

Our build is more efficient

Since a gpu prolly will never go in that thing

[uncut pelican]

ty

[little osprey]

'efficient' explain?

[desert gulch]

Psu is running at close to half capacity full load on ours

PSU is most efficient at half ish load

In general

[fossil cedar]

No point spending more on that psu

[fossil cedar]

Yw

[little osprey]

no point in spending more on SN550 when mp33 is cheaper no?

[fossil cedar]

For this build*

[desert gulch]

Still a perf difference

Mp33 to sn550

[fossil cedar]

Sn550 perf diff

[desert gulch]

Bigger psu no perf difference

[fossil cedar]

Noticeable one at that

[desert gulch]

Yeah

[little osprey]

would be better for upgradabulity id say

[fossil cedar]

But it's an office pc for mom

[desert gulch]

Yeah

We ain't upgrading this thing

[little osprey]

Lol

10400 seems overkill for office pc..

10100 or 10105 minimum

10400 is good

dont need much more than that

used 10100 would save a lot of money tbf

[fossil cedar]

30$

[little osprey]

used

i havent seen many used 10100s

maybe its because i'm not looking for them

[fossil cedar]

Well you could say that about almost every used part

[little osprey]

I havent seen many used patos around

virginity probably

😳

[fossil cedar]

Havent seen many used camerons either

[little osprey]

[jovial radish]

so I'm rebuilding a system and I've got a "difficult" CPU cooler

it leaves almost zero room for one or two motherboard mounting points

think I should install it last?

I mean I could partially install it before it's in the case

[desert gulch]

Yeah install it last

You should be able to install it's backplate and mounting hardware before installing Mobo tho, should save some time

[jovial radish]

thought so, thanks

[vague oracle]

Goddamnit i went down 200 points in time spy

Also i noticed that SAM brought down my time spy scores

[fossil cedar]

sam is hit and miss depending on the game soo

[desert gulch]

Maybe the wegg egg is causing the issue

[vague oracle]

nah my cpu score went down 500 points and my gpu score went up 100

maybe i should go back to the manual OC instead of PBO when running time spy

[static ravine]

How do you unlock cpu tdp?

[vague oracle]

...you cant

tdp is how much heat it gives off

[desert gulch]

He's talking about power limits I think

Like on a locked board like b560

[fossil cedar]

Intel xtu or throttlestop

[vague oracle]

Wrong reply?

[fossil cedar]

Yep...

[fossil cedar]

Discord mobile playing me soz

[terse pebble]

Hi guys, I am changing my CPU and mobo. What do I need to do for my current storage with all the softwares that was installed and all other files and folders?

What will happen to the windows?

[desert gulch]

Link the windows key to your Microsoft account if you havent

Sometimes it'll get mad if you change parts otherwise

[fossil cedar]

Reinstall windows if you're not changing the drive

Make a backup of anything you need first tho

[delicate plume]

So in

So uhh

I feel like my cable extensions aren’t gonna work

Well. My cable management is so terrible and I twisted my mobo cable extension. Do u guys think it’ll work?

[desert gulch]

It'll still work

The 24 pin?

[wintry tide]

what do you guys think about the B550-A Rog Strix

[fossil cedar]

Nice mobo if you want white especially

If you don't care of colour there's better options imo

[earnest olive]

poop

I chose b550 steel legend over it for a white accent board

[fossil cedar]

Why it poop?

[earnest olive]

well

the main people paying extra for that board would care about aesthetics

however asus is allergic to argb headers

therefore it only has 1

it also lacks front usb-c compared to the steel legend

and it's more expensive

[fossil cedar]

Ahh but apart from that it's g right, was worried it had dog vrms or something

[earnest olive]

it's fine

and that's pretty much the problem

it doesn't offer anything more than "fine" for the price premium

[delicate plume]

Yes

I have the b550 f gaming WiFi

Is 101ms download speed good or bad?

[desert gulch]

What?

Ms is ping

[earnest olive]

download speed is not measured in ms

[desert gulch]

Mbps is speed

[earnest olive]

not necessarily

[delicate plume]

Oh yeah that’s what I meant

[earnest olive]

jitter is also measured in ms

[delicate plume]

My ms was 14

[desert gulch]

Ok

That's good

[delicate plume]

Is my download speed good?

[earnest olive]

speedtest ping measurement is meaningless

[desert gulch]

100mbps download is good enough

[earnest olive]

if you have to ask this question, the answer is yes

[desert gulch]

Yeah ping matters more on the games servers

[earnest olive]

if it's bad you will notice 🙂

[desert gulch]

Lol

[delicate plume]

Ok

This isn’t even my pc lol

Another WiFi related question

[earnest olive]

download speed usually has little to do with the pc hardware

[delicate plume]

Is the b550 f gaming WiFi good?

[desert gulch]

What's "good"?

[delicate plume]

With the antenna?

[worn wave]

lmao

[desert gulch]

Still need a definition of "good"

[delicate plume]

Wow.

[desert gulch]

Too subjective

[earnest olive]

again

if you have to ask if it's good or not

it's good enough

it supports wifi 6

[delicate plume]

Ok

[earnest olive]

probably better than your router

[delicate plume]

Yep

I’ll just update the drivers and hope for the best.

At least you didn’t say it’s terrible. I’m stressing out over this pc.-.

[fossil cedar]

If jitter was 101ms big yikes

[worn wave]

What are your entire specs?

[earnest olive]

lol i think id rather just skip the internet and play the dinosaur game

[fossil cedar]

Lol same

[fossil cedar]

Was bored in work today, chrome has a new feature, create a qr code instantly and i just mashed random keys and watched the dots dance

[earnest olive]

👁️

when i'm bored at work i just play games

working from home is nice

i'll miss it

[delicate plume]

Mine?

@worn wave

[worn wave]

Yes

[delicate plume]

R7 3700x, 1tb ssd, b550 rog strix WiFi, don’t gotta gpu, and I’m getting the msi 750w psu

[fossil cedar]

Dont tell the boss shhh

[delicate plume]

And a x53 aio

There u go

I’ll probably get a 3060 or 3060 ti if they r in stock

[little osprey]

Lol

[delicate plume]

?

[clever eagle]

it happens

[delicate plume]

Is a 650w psu good enough

[clever eagle]

for what system

[plucky kiln]

where do these cables go to

[plucky kiln]

came with case

[plucky kiln]

came with aio

[obsidian wigeon]

The one that comes from the aio is for the pump or fans

As for the case, idrk

Could be front panel or something

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8LkKvf

1.5k usd

This or 5600x?

[wintry tide]

someone make me this build in this chat. Do I need to make changes to this one guys?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CKgqt8

[little osprey]

not too sure about that ram or nvme

[desert gulch]

Other than 970evo plus

And maybe that monitor

I'd rather a m27q for that price

Cheaper too

[little osprey]

240hz tho

[desert gulch]

And way better

Yeah but m27q is 170

You won't be able to see the difference in fps

You will be able to see increase from 1080p to 1440p tho

[obsidian wigeon]

wew

expensive ssds

[desert gulch]

P31 is justified

[obsidian wigeon]

swap that to sn550 or 980

the 970 that is

[desert gulch]

Ye

[obsidian wigeon]

also idk why p31 seems to be secondary

when it's faster than the samsung

[wintry tide]

i just bought that monitor for 299$

[obsidian wigeon]

rip

[wintry tide]

lol

might change in the near future

[desert gulch]

It's just order they were added in

That's all

[wintry tide]

the one made me this build said that this ram is top tier right now

[obsidian wigeon]

mhm

[desert gulch]

I mean kinda but kinda nof

[obsidian wigeon]

it's expensive

[desert gulch]

Ballistix max 5100 stuff is the top tier

800 bucks for a 16 gig kit

[wintry tide]

damn

[desert gulch]

Yeah I mean for it's price you won't find better, that's for sure

The stuff you got

[wintry tide]

which mobo is better b550-a rog strix or aorus pro b550

[quaint swan]

I’m almost certain I won’t get the 3060 ti fe from Best Buy, so is this a relatively good price for a 3060?

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3060-gv-n3060gaming-oc-12gd/p/N82E16814932433?Description=rtx 3060&cm_re=rtx_3060-_-14-932-433-_-Product

Also this:

Or this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W8DGK3X?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[earnest olive]

no, no, and no

all more expensive than my 3080 lol

[little osprey]

Hey guys. Just wanted to ask, if I wanted to upgrade, what should I upgrade next?

Ryzen 5 2600x
GeForce GTX 1660 ti
Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM
Corsair RM750 watt
Asus ROG B450-F gaming motherboard
Silicon Power 1TB SSD

Mines decent.

[wispy matrix]

i would say either the Cpu or Gpu

but if you upgrade the cpu you might have to change the mobo

[earnest olive]

depends on what you do with it

[quaint swan]

How did u get your 3080?

[little osprey]

Just wanna upgrade for gaming. My gpu is able to handle smoothly with like non ultra settings lol.

I just would like to know for future reference.

[earnest olive]

click fast

[wispy matrix]

and be ready

[little osprey]

I’ve been told once, to upgrade either GPU or Mobo just wanted better experienced people opinion

[earnest olive]

it's a pretty balanced pairing so you'd be looking at upgrading both

[desert gulch]

It's been a long time since I've heard of someone having a 2600x

Dont see them super often

[potent portal]

Ideally I'd say upgrade the cpu and gpu around the same time, your motherboard is fine for like a 5600X.

[little osprey]

Haha yeah. Best I could do with my budget at the time.

I see I see

Thanks everyone

[desert gulch]

Yeah if you decide to put that gpu up for sale you will make a ton of money in current market

[potent portal]

At least what you paid for it originally if not more, yeah

[little osprey]

I’ve seen.

Ye

I searched it up and it’s up like

[desert gulch]

I'd say 500 could sell

[little osprey]

800-1k or something on Amazon one time

[desert gulch]

Mhmm

500 on ebay or something would sell p quick

[little osprey]

It’s outrageous

But probably

[desert gulch]

Yea

[potent portal]

And then buy a 3060 with that money, ez upgrade

[desert gulch]

Ye

[little osprey]

Never thought to sell my GPU first and then to buy a better one lol

Cant PCs run without a gpu

[potent portal]

Yes but it won't display anything

[little osprey]

Won’t be able to play games with it that’s for sure

😂

Right right

[stoic island]

It literally won't run without a GPU or iGP

[potent portal]

Get a 5700g apu and you can use the graphics on that while you wait for a real gpu

[little osprey]

But heck. To buy a 3060

I’d have to upgrade everything else

[potent portal]

Not necessarily, it'll just max out your 2600X. You'll still get more performance.

[little osprey]

I see. I’m learning.

Wanna see my pc organization

😂

Jk hahaha. It’s bad

[wispy matrix]

the only thing you would prob be good with is that 750w

[potent portal]

The mobo would be fine too, just not for anything too high power

[little osprey]

Oh heck. Alright. Thanks for the advice

Isn’t there like. Many different 3060s?

[potent portal]

Tons, every brand has at least 3 models lol

[little osprey]

Great god.

It’ll be hard to pick lol

[stoic island]

All 3060 cards have the GA106 chip tho

[potent portal]

Nah just get the one you can get, they're midrange so cooler and stuff doesn't matter as much

[stoic island]

All that changes is the PCB and shroud

[little osprey]

Well. If I can even get to sell my GPU

Oh wait what

NVIDIA EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB XC Graphics Card is only 670$

Thought it was in the thousands. Probably just the newer ones

[potent portal]

That's double the msrp of $330

I wouldn't pay more than $500 or so

[little osprey]

Oh wow they’re that cheap?

Well at least they should be

[potent portal]

Yeah, because the next step up is the $400 3060 ti (at msrp)

That one can be used for mining on the side too so you can get away with paying a little extra and mining when you're idle

[little osprey]

These prices are outrageous.

[potent portal]

It's basic economics, demand is far exceeding the supply so the prices go up. There's other factors at play too.

[little osprey]

That too but still

[potent portal]

Right, it still sucks

[little osprey]

I’ll just wait Until it gets back to normal

It’s not like I need it now

[low tinsel]

I’m uh

Building a pc at the moment

It’s been 5 hours

And I’m lost and idk if I plugged in the right things

[flint sapphire]

Is it just not turning on or have you not turned it on yet?

[low tinsel]

I’m not finished building jt

It

Like the wires and stuff I’m looking at the manual guid and stuff like that but still kinda lost

Already have my AIO and motherboard and fans plugged in

Getting a GPU Monday

[flint sapphire]

Ah don’t worry too much about it then, it’s fairly simple the most annoying cables are just like the power and power led stuff, since usually they are all tiny separate things

[low tinsel]

But I also

Don’t know if I put the normal cables in correctly

[flint sapphire]

Probably did

[low tinsel]

Like they went in yes but idk if it was correct place

[flint sapphire]

Usually the cables are well marked like one side will say psu and the other will say what it goes to

Don’t worry too much about it until you get tht gpu 👍

[low tinsel]

So if I were to turn this on to see if it works and it doesn’t turn on

Or parts of it does and others don’t

[buoyant patrol]

hey im new to building pc's and i was wondering if someone could help

[flint sapphire]

@fossil cedar if they are alive or any of our techs

[low tinsel]

What’s an In VDG

[flint sapphire]

It’s a rgb controller

[low tinsel]

Where would it go on a Arous elite V2 motherboard I can’t find it

[flint sapphire]

Little three pin thing

[low tinsel]

Yeah and it’s connected to something else

Says CH on it

I found it

[flint sapphire]

👍

[low tinsel]

Not the tiny part

But the Ch part

[flint sapphire]

Eh just look around if anyone else is around I’m a bit busy

[low tinsel]

Alr

[wispy matrix]

imagine owning this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gTNHCz just messing around again

[echo vale]

honestly if ur gonna make something overkill like that it definitely would be another 3090 in there for sli or watever they call it now and it would 100% be liquid cooled

pretty sure theyd toss in a bunch of sabrent roket 8 tb just for fun too lol

[wispy matrix]

okay ill add another

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f2Z37X

[echo vale]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Tz9ZNP

boom

just the cpu alone is enough to raise eyebrows

[wispy matrix]

beat me by 2k

[echo vale]

i beat you by more just didnt feel like putting the effort to find the custom loops stuff for this kind of pc

[wispy matrix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fW6ZNP

nope i win

[formal girder]

nah thats too cheap bro lol

[somber knot]

White or Black 🤔

[wispy matrix]

or

green

[somber knot]

Genius

[wispy matrix]

im jking black

[somber knot]

👍

[earnest olive]

we doing this again?

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DAOKOfan/saved/zrJ7XL

[wispy matrix]

yeah

let me start again

[desert gulch]

gottta put in scalper pricing for gpus

so expect around 20k per gpu

[earnest olive]

somehow I don't think people are scalping those

[desert gulch]

they probably are

gaming gpu

all that vram makes them very good for gaming

mosstly for fortnite

[wispy matrix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hVy2Jf @earnest olive

[earnest olive]

nice thermal paste

[wispy matrix]

ik shhh

[formal girder]

gotta make sure you have plenty thermal paste

[wispy matrix]

True

[formal girder]

but thats just a beginner build isnt it

[wispy matrix]

Wym Beginner build?

[formal girder]

is that your new beginner build? (just as a joke)

[wispy matrix]

Yeah fs

[still roost]

Dave17#3275 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[somber knot]

bruh

[somber knot]

The reviews on the Gpu 😂

[clever eagle]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/FhpYkX

this list much better price

[somber knot]

Dont hesitate to crap on me if it is bad build but i have to ask is it any good im learning or at least trying to. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qs7JcT

[wispy matrix]

@somber knot you want me to help you out

budget

please

[low tinsel]

I finished the of build

A few rookie mistakes

Like the 24 pin wasn’t plugged in 🤣

It looks nice though everything is all good

[marble whale]

how do i download linux for the first time?

[flint sapphire]

Looks good

[low tinsel]

First build, took almost 10 hours

Yeah it’s gonna be complete in less than a week

[flint sapphire]

Tht psu might have some issues down the road btw

Not sure why exactly but the ltt psu list puts its pretty far down at d tier

Just a heads up

[wispy matrix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vTkKvf

thats better Dave17

[low tinsel]

So it’s not good?

[flint sapphire]

Potentially

Plenty of good reviews out there though

[low tinsel]

Rip

[wispy matrix]

@earnest olive can you take a look at that list

i would guess budget of 1500

[low tinsel]

I’ll just have to see how it treats me

[flint sapphire]

Yeah

[earnest olive]

what am i looking at

[wispy matrix]

the list i did

budget of 1500

[earnest olive]

can i ban you for recommending to buy ryzen 5 2600 for $186 and gtx 1660 super for $638

this seems like a valid ban reason

this is almost the same price as my 5800x + 3080 build for what

[wispy matrix]

fine ill restart

[lyric thistle]

can't find Kratos M1 on the tier list

P1 and E1

[earnest olive]

i had a headache and this list made it worse

hyper 212

b450 tomahawk max

why

[low tinsel]

Gambias kratos m1

[lyric thistle]

yeah it's not listed in the tier list

[wispy matrix]

fine let me fix it Bleach

[flint sapphire]

[lyric thistle]

ignorance is bliss I guess

[low tinsel]

This thing

Seen it on a YT pc build and chose to get it cuz I didn’t have a psu

Before I knew about the Corsair ones and stuff

[flint sapphire]

Gamdias | Astrape E1 / M1 (Bronze/White) - Helios E1 White - Kratos E1

D tier

[flint sapphire]

It’s on there

[lyric thistle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wispy matrix]

i give up Bleach you can take @somber knot's list

[low tinsel]

What’s the lowest tier

[lyric thistle]

I just interpret it literally

[wispy matrix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qs7JcT but this was his first list

[lyric thistle]

if I find no Kratos and M1 in the same bit I find no Kratos M1

[wispy matrix]

not mine

[flint sapphire]

That’s the direct phrase it was listed under if u just search on the page

[low tinsel]

Is D tier the lowest

[lyric thistle]

yeah I know, but I still struggle to find things for the reason I said above

[flint sapphire]

E is the lowest

[lyric thistle]

E for everyone

[low tinsel]

So E then D

Right

[flint sapphire]

:x

[low tinsel]

Oh

It was kinda cheap

Maybe like near $100

[lyric thistle]

my EVGA 450BR is C tier

100 in what country :(

[low tinsel]

Usa

[obsidian wigeon]

100 for that

yuck

[flint sapphire]

Eh first build you tend to not research too much besides the cpu gpu

[earnest olive]

$100 for d-tier psu?

👁️

[old oasis]

what's the best gpu to pair with the 3400g before severe bottlenecking?

[flint sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-gif-20971723

[earnest olive]

depends on game settings resolution

in general I'd say 1060 is pushing the limits of the cpu

[old oasis]

1080p primarily

[earnest olive]

do you already own it and looking to upgrade to dgpu

[old oasis]

what about a 1660 super?

i have the cpu

but not the gpu

[earnest olive]

that's gonna bottleneck for sure

[old oasis]

but im just talking about theoretical

[earnest olive]

I'd consider selling the 3400g + mobo and picking up an i5-10400 and cheap mobo for it

will pretty much break even with current 3400g prices

[old oasis]

i was stupid and got a x570 motherboard for it

[earnest olive]

also please don't dodge the profanity filter

[old oasis]

my bad

[earnest olive]

3400g is very weak on the cpu side

you could sell the cpu and mobo separately

3400g is a pretty high demand item

used x570 maybe not so much but you could get rid of it for the right price

an i5-10400 or i5-11400 will be much better

but if you would rather keep the board

you could sell the 3400g and pick up a 5600x

[old oasis]

i want to keep the board for futureproofing

[earnest olive]

and probably end up paying like $100

futureproofing doesn't exist

next gen is new socket new chipset new ram

[flint sapphire]

Buy a chair and some nice speakers and a decent case. Those are fairly future proof

[old oasis]

i mean, it's better for newer cpus like the 5000 series

[flint sapphire]

[earnest olive]

not necessarily

in general b550 boards have better vrms than same price class x570s

unless you're telling me you have an x570 godlike paired with your 3400g

or perhaps an x570 waterforce

either way my b550 board was $90 brand new and barely even wakes up to run a 5800x and 3800c14 ram at full blast

[old oasis]

its a gigabyte x570 aorus miniitx

[earnest olive]

you have an itx system?

[old oasis]

i wanted to

i have the cpu, motherboard, and storage

[earnest olive]

I really recommend just selling the cpu and board

3400g is 4c/8t zen+ with gimped cache

gaming performance will be somewhere along the lines of an i7-2600K

[flint sapphire]

Personally would say sell the cpu and just keep the board

[earnest olive]

competing against 10 year old hardware isn't a high bar

[flint sapphire]

🤷‍♂️

[earnest olive]

I see no reason to keep x570 itx in a case that isn't even itx

[old oasis]

i dont even have a case for it yet

[earnest olive]

locks you into overpriced zen 3 as well

could probably break even with an i5-11400 + cheap b560

compared to spending an extra $100-150 upgrading to 5600x for practically the same performance

if you sell the 3400g at $180 and the mobo at $200 you get $380

buy an i5-11400 for ~200 after tax and a b560 that's not bottom of the barrel for ~150 after tax

compared to selling the 3400g for $180 and paying 320 after tax for a 5600x

anyways

if not upgrading the 3400g I wouldn't go higher than gtx 1060 6gb

if you upgrade to 11400 or 5600x then the sky's the limit

both will work fine with 3090s

[old oasis]

hmmm, got it

thanks for your input

ill think about it a bit

[flint sapphire]

It all really depends on if you can sell that board for 200

[old oasis]

*cries in ebay

[earnest olive]

it retails for 220

even if you get 170 for it you still break even buying the 11400

really a no brainer imo

11400 runs laps around the 3400g in cpu performance

and if you're going to pair it with a dgpu you don't need the better igpu of the 3400g of course

the 11400f would be fine too

[fossil cedar]

Nah i at 5.50am i tend to be unconscious xD thanks tho

Or if you can spend tiny bit more as you'll be waiting longer for gpu, 5600g is nicer to use til then

[cursive patio]

Im thinking about upgrading my ram but i dont want to spend to much so is Team T-Force reliable or should i spend 20 more dollars and just get corsair vengance

[fossil cedar]

Corsair is the opposite of reliable, team make decent ram ye

[cursive patio]

ok would ripjaws be more reliable then team

[fossil cedar]

They're all basically the same if you're not overclocking

[cursive patio]

ok thanks for the help

[fossil cedar]

Speed and latency is more important@cursive patio

[cursive patio]

ok

[fossil cedar]

What cpu are you going to be using?

[cursive patio]

ryzen 5 3600x

[fossil cedar]

I wouldn't buy that in 2021!

[cursive patio]

i already have it

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

[cursive patio]

im not making a new build

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

[cursive patio]

just upgrading ram

[fossil cedar]

Are you adding to an existing kit?

Or replacing it?

[cursive patio]

replacing

rn i have 16gb of 2666

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

Good idea

[cursive patio]

and wanna get 32 3200

[fossil cedar]

I'd go 3600 instead

[cursive patio]

ok

[fossil cedar]

Cl18 is fine

You in the us?

[cursive patio]

yea

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PJ6qqs/team-t-force-vulcan-z-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl18-memory-tlzgd432g3600hc18jdc01

This wil do nicely

[cursive patio]

ok thanks for the help

[fossil cedar]

Np

[cursive patio]

now im looking at the whole build and im worried that my power supply isnt strong enough and its a 500w so do you think i might have to go to a 600w or should the 500 be ok if im not overclocking

What GPU do you have? 500W is probably ok for a mid or low tier GPU.

[cursive patio]

I have a 2060

[potent portal]

That'll be fine then

[cursive patio]

ok

thanks

@fossil cedar and others

Is this good deal?

Cyber power is not the best thing in the world

[potent portal]

That's a pretty garbage deal tbh, CPU and GPU are worth maybe $750 if it's a good model 3060, the rest of the parts bring that to a $1000 PC

[fossil cedar]

Terrible deal

Way better deal ^

Do the newer strix cards 3080Ti+ sag a lot?

[echo vale]

it doesnt sag as much as you think but it does sag a lil

[fossil cedar]

Ehh the 3 fan gpus are quite chonky so there is a possibility of sag, if you're worried about it you could always get a bracket

[ripe relic]

can someone help me find a new gpu for this https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Yaboy2412/saved/#view=2BWZJx

vecause i heard not good things about the 3060ti

[potent portal]

What bad things have you heard? It's fine overall

[fossil cedar]

@ripe relic what's your budget and have you bought anything yet?

[potent portal]

One of the best value/performance ratio cards

[ripe relic]

1300ish

and i bought the motherboard already

[fossil cedar]

Okay

Ehh can you return it?

Ehh actually it will be fine

Lemme put a list together

What's the use yaboy?

[potent portal]

It'll be fine sure but keep in mind that mobo has features that you'll never use and a fan that can potentially fail

[ripe relic]

just general gaming and maybe streaming/recording

[fossil cedar]

Okay

[peak ginkgo]

The 3060 is really good. A lot of people talk bad about something because they're jealous that they don't have one so they try to make you feel bad for having it

[ripe relic]

oh

someone said i should just get 3070 because it's only a little more expensive and like 2x better

so it's fine?

[potent portal]

It's not 2x better, not even close

Like 5-10% over the 3060 ti

[ripe relic]

ahhh alright

how well will my build run doom eternal?

anyone know?

[potent portal]

https://youtu.be/On8YYgkpCOo

Max settings, 4k, RTX on, 80 fps lol

[ripe relic]

ok uhh

[fossil cedar]

@ripe relic https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vckZNP i woo do this, a 3060 ti or 3070 if you're really lucky but a 3060 will do as well, i went 5600g so you can use the pc while waiting for the gpu

Cuz it's gonna take some time to find a gpu

[ripe relic]

yup

i've been stalking the stock for so long lmao

[potent portal]

The APU he picked out will run things that use less GPU like cs:go really well, but high performance games won't be playable

[fossil cedar]

Where have you been looking?

[ripe relic]

i've been looking at a youtube livestream that tells me which websites have it in stock

idk though

[fossil cedar]

It will run older/lowe end games until you get a gpu ye

[ripe relic]

and why did you down grade my cpu?

[potent portal]

You can do a stock drop discord too, you can sit in the voice chat and you'll hear a tone when something is in stock

[fossil cedar]

Ahh, there's a guide in the pins of #graphics-cards if ya need a hand

[potent portal]

It's not a downgrade

[fossil cedar]

I didn't it's better/sameish performance depending on the workload

[potent portal]

It has less cores sure but those cores are up to 20% better

[ripe relic]

ryzen 5 is better than ryzen 7?

i didn't know that

[fossil cedar]

And it has integrated graphics
