[vague oracle]

Best Buy has drops quite often

[jagged ember]

That's your choice then

Oops ping

[frank stirrup]

Get an 11400 and a b560 instead @young fox

[young fox]

just because. Im not actually getting

[jagged ember]

3300g when 11400 or 11600 exist

Or like the 4000g series cpus

[frank stirrup]

Why do your wife and kids have to come with you tho?

[frank stirrup]

Then whats the point

[crimson thicket]

@little osprey ya I know BB is more than 2 hours away as well. I'm not stressing we have a 3060 ti, 2060, rx580, rx570, r7 270x between myself the wife and kids I'll just be patient and keep doing shuffle there are other ppl that have no GPUs.

[young fox]

i just want to know i might get it in the future

[frank stirrup]

And I told you dont.

11400 and a b560 board is the way to go

[karmic mirage]

im going for a prebuilt that has in i5 8500 in it but the problem is idk if the board has the front io of that prebuilt case soldered to it

[young fox]

i saw online that it is a pretty good cpu and it's cheap so I might get it

[vague oracle]

What prebuilt is it?

[little osprey]

Prebuilts are overpriced

[vague oracle]

Not really depending on the price of it

[little osprey]

Name one prebuilt that you can get for the same price as just building it yourself with msrp parts

[karmic mirage]

hp prodesk 400 g6 sff i5 8500

[karmic mirage]

inculding motherbord ram cpu ssd sometimes gpu and a casr

[karmic mirage]

im gonna replace the 8gb of ram and i already have a gpu

[crimson thicket]

@frank stirrup because I work 70 hours a week and it would get turned into family time as I'm rarely home and they hardly see me. I just know how things go lmao. Like I said tho I'm not stressing we have 5 GPUs in the house :)

[little osprey]

Just stick with getting gpus online, that’s where I’m getting mine

[crimson thicket]

Yup

[karmic mirage]

there are also enough prebuilts underpriced

for what they ship with

[little osprey]

Send one

[karmic mirage]

some hp pavilions

[karmic mirage]

wait a sec

[little osprey]

But do they have actual good parts in them?

yall poopie stinky

[crimson thicket]

Crap mobos and psus typically in prebuilts

Oem gpu variants

[little osprey]

Yeah the mobos always suck

[karmic mirage]

decent

[little osprey]

Not available

[karmic mirage]

ik

but the price

[little osprey]

It didn’t show the price???

[karmic mirage]

we were talking about the price

[karmic mirage]

its around 700 bucks

[crimson thicket]

I've yet to see a prebuilt that's decently priced with quality parts, cooling ect

[little osprey]

Idk if I’d call that underpriced

And it’s not even available

[karmic mirage]

you can buy the gpu of the price of the whole system

[little osprey]

Before I knew anything about PCs I was gonna buy a r5 3600 with a guy 1030 for $700

[karmic mirage]

oof

[frank stirrup]

It was a bad cpu when it released a fair few years ago

[little osprey]

First of all, that’s not even close to true. Second of all, I said msrp prices (which would mean deflated prices for older gpus) , and third of all, it wasn’t even available so you can’t use it in an example

[karmic mirage]

im happy that i got a decent gpu from someone for free

[frank stirrup]

Ahh makes sense. Family time important

[young fox]

but good enough for me now

[karmic mirage]

1660 super for 770 bucks

on amazon

same site

[little osprey]

On Amazon.

🤦‍♂️

[frank stirrup]

But why when theres better stuff for not a too much?

[karmic mirage]

980 on newegg

and 667

i could buy the same system from hp with more stuff then only the gpu

[frank stirrup]

ebay

[little osprey]

No one buys old gpus from Newegg or Amazon

Was it a 1660s or Ti?

[young fox]

i dont know any good cpu's i just want a good cheap one

[karmic mirage]

1660 ti

6gb

i dont need it

but still

[little osprey]

$500 on eBay for buy it now

[steady finch]

I'm here for the PC competition

[little osprey]

In an auction you would get it for way less

[frank stirrup]

11400 cpu on a b560 mobo

[little osprey]

And in a normal market you could get it for under 200

[karmic mirage]

2449 for a 3080 system

with stuff in it

[young fox]

my budget is under 500

[little osprey]

That’s terrible

3080 msrp is 700

[frank stirrup]

11400 with a b560 board.

[karmic mirage]

damn lol

[little osprey]

You can build a great pc for 1500 with a 3080 at msrp

[frank stirrup]

Ehhhhhh

[karmic mirage]

no

[little osprey]

Yeah

[frank stirrup]

Yes but actually no

[little osprey]

Yes but yes

[frank stirrup]

Ok build one rn you have a week max

[karmic mirage]

i9 10100k or ryzen 9 with it

no

just no

[little osprey]

I don’t need a week but okay

[frank stirrup]

Okay link all the components in stock rn then

[karmic mirage]

aio cooling then

[karmic mirage]

yeah do it

3669 for a 3090 prebuilt

but i wasnt here to argue about that a 3080 is 700 dollars

btw the prebuilt i was buying with an i5 8500 was 412

oo also i could do a i5 11 gen or an ryzen 5 prebuilt for 100 euros more

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2zHmXb $15 over

If you want to go under you can get a 500 gb ssd

@karmic mirage @frank stirrup

[karmic mirage]

is everything in stock

thats the question

or its still useless

[little osprey]

All but the 3080 but that’s expected of course

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TyLmXb $7 over

[karmic mirage]

the case is lame

[little osprey]

How

It’s a great case

[karmic mirage]

out of stock

[karmic mirage]

it is but i dont like it

im gonna use my own case for it

[little osprey]

Ok..?

It wasn’t a build for looks anyway

[karmic mirage]

true

well im gonna go

it was fun arguing tho

[little osprey]

Ok

[little osprey]

It was fun winning 😎

[karmic mirage]

no

3080

out of stock

and also

[little osprey]

It doesn’t matter

The gpu is obviously gonna be out of stock

It’s not hard to get one anyway

[karmic mirage]

i could buy the newest i5(with 1125gb of storage hdd and ssd) or ryzen 5 (with 256 gb) for like 555 euros

but it doesnt matter

bye

[vague kelp]

YO FELLOW HUMANS

so

um i want to make pc

i have an idea of what i want to make but i need someone to fill in the blank for me

[modern bone]

whats your budget

[vague kelp]

$2100 cad

problem is cad has like no supply compare to UK or USA

[modern bone]

gaming or work?

[vague kelp]

gaming

i want anything lol i have a 7 year old pc

with two cores.....

[modern bone]

Sheesh

[vague kelp]

yes....

i am dying

i need to beg my bother to play on his pc

or i cant play any games

[modern bone]

well, your not gonna be able the get much of a graphics card rn

[vague kelp]

ya i did noticed i waitted 2 years

[modern bone]

ya, not a good time

you should be lookin at the APU market

[vague kelp]

want to hear my specs?

[modern bone]

sure

[peak ginkgo]

You can technically get a GPU but it's going to be scalped to hell and back

So I would just wait unless you're that desperate for one and just want to pay two or three times the MSRP

[vague kelp]

2 core Base speed 1.60 L1 224KM L2 2MB

the rest are some random chinese stuff that came with the pc

[peak ginkgo]

That's pretty old

[vague kelp]

i know

[peak ginkgo]

But you gotta do what you gotta do

[sick shadow]

was planning to add new rgb ram for a recent build. I upgraded mobo and cpu and the old ram is not what is optimal for new build. But with the local Canadian retailers all selling pretty much everything final sale i worry about cpu/heatsink clearance with rgb ram and being stuck with ram i have to offload 😦

[vague kelp]

dont add new rams

use the sames one you have

[sick shadow]

i have noctua dh-15 atm and will be getting an AIO for new build in a week or two and also getting rgb ram.

[little osprey]

I disagree

[modern bone]

Ok

[little osprey]

GPU’s aren’t that hard to get

[modern bone]

They’re expensive

[sick shadow]

@vague kelp the ram i am using currently is from a 4 channel kit with 2300Mhz speed. I am going to get a kit that is 3600mhz with cl15 or cl16.

[vague kelp]

do you guys think i should still get windows 11 on my pc when i make one or windows 10 pro

[little osprey]

Best Buy does online drops, Newegg does online drops, amd.com does online drops for msrp (Newegg has a tiny markup)

[crimson thicket]

@sick shadow add a clc then you don't have to worry about clearance imho

[vague kelp]

in best buy there is 3600 4x8 its on a sale

if you really want an upgrade

[sick shadow]

@crimson thicket i plan on grabbing an aio next week

[little osprey]

Are you using Intel or amd Cpu

[crimson thicket]

Then no worries on clearance

[vague kelp]

@sick shadow but it is in Cad bestbuy idk where you are sooo....

but still 4x8 3600 is good

[sick shadow]

@little osprey i am using an amd 5950x in a Asus x570 Strix E gaming

[vague kelp]

sorry i mean 4x8

my brain

[peak ginkgo]

Still hard to get. With NewEgg Shuffle, its you against 100K other people. With Best Buy, you typically have to camp outside the night before to stay in line for a ticket. Most online retailers, you're going against bots used by scalpers, miners, and other gamers trying to get a GPU

[vague kelp]

@sick shadow want the link?

[little osprey]

Best Buy does online drops and iirc you can’t use bots on it. amd.com i know for sure has bit protection

[sick shadow]

going to grab it from memory express and i plan to get a 32GB RGB kit with cl-16 timing

2 x 16GB DDR4

3600

[vague kelp]

what price you looking for?

you from us?

[sick shadow]

its on sale for 219 CAD atm

Canada

[vague kelp]

cad

O

hello fellow brother

[broken kernel]

crucial ballistix rgb?

[fossil cedar]

I'd get a b550 instead if you don't already have the board

[sick shadow]

add 30 percent for usa dollars

@fossil cedar i have board and cpu installed already lol

[fossil cedar]

Just don't convert prices btw, different conditions in different countries etc

[sick shadow]

i wanted asus strix and ended up getting a bundle deal that saved me 400 dollars

[fossil cedar]

Ahhh okay*

[vague kelp]

ne0 you know memory express had MSRP rtx 3000 for 2 hours around BC i forgot which one it is

[fossil cedar]

2x16 better

[sick shadow]

@vague kelp i am broke after buying cpu/mobo and will need a few weeks to get money for a gpu lol

[broken kernel]

only reason someone would get 4 sticks is if they're running a quad channel cpu

[peak ginkgo]

Re-read what I said about Best Buy

[little osprey]

Re-read what I said about Best Buy. You do know they do online drops, right?

[sick shadow]

Best Buy Canada has almost no pc parts except for rtx 3000 series cards. They have poor prices for what they sell excepting rtx cards.

[vague kelp]

you from BC?

[sick shadow]

Yes

[vague kelp]

on i hear

heard*

[sick shadow]

Born and raised and currently live in lower mainland BC

[peak ginkgo]

Best Buy ended online drops a month or two ago. They only do in person now

[vague kelp]

rtx 3000 msrp are coming in 1 month so thats going well

[sick shadow]

Best buy had a drop on Aug 12th locally

[vague kelp]

at memory express

around BC

[little osprey]

Whoops. Still, Newegg shuffle and amd.com. People often forget that amd cards aren’t bad by any means

[vague kelp]

for rtx 3000s?

[sick shadow]

memory express has had cards recently and i could have bought a rtx 3080ti or 3090 or a 3070 they were in stock

[modern bone]

Can we start threads? This is getting confusing

[vague kelp]

what?

we talking about GPU in Cad at BC

[sick shadow]

AMD cards are fully available at memory express last i checked

[vague kelp]

its not too bad here

[vague kelp]

not any more from the ones near me

inless i willing to take 5 hours lol

[peak ginkgo]

AMD cards aren't bad but their drivers leave a lot to desire causing crashes, blue screens, etc. They still have stability issues not 100% of the time but often

[little osprey]

Do they not have amd cards?

[sick shadow]

well i mean they have cards for sale which location is hit or miss. That is still a vast improvement of the last year.

[vague kelp]

more like had

i missed it i live 5 hours away from one

so i cant even beat those CAMPERS

and cuz i dont have a car so i cant camp over night

[sick shadow]

@little osprey i have no idea if best buy has amd cards but it would be marketplace only and not in store. They sell things like memory and hard drives and ssd but very high inflated prices here in Canada.

I saw a drop happen in newegg Canada and had an rtx 3080 in my cart last tuesday but i missed it 😦

[vague kelp]

from what i seen only RTX 3060 are lefted

and even those there the same price of an RTX 3060 ti compare to other places

[sick shadow]

@vague kelp yeah the cards sold out really quick

it was last week when i was deciding on ordering parts

[vague kelp]

yes and you cant fricken pre-order

there like come the the store and check

we cant tell you if we have it

cuz we dont want to

[sick shadow]

When i bought the bundle cpu/mobo/cooler it was sold out by the time i was at store and i only got it because i reserved it before heading out

I phoned them about it

[vague kelp]

dude you know what i hate

my fricken friend trolled memory express he booked a 3060 ti

and then canceled it later

and told me the next day

I WAS LIKE BRUH

i wanted that

[desert gulch]

Lol

[vague kelp]

IT IS FRICKEN MSRP WHAT DO YOU WANT

like this dude

uncool

uncool

[desert gulch]

Unfriend him rn

[vague kelp]

i was thinking about it lol

[modern bone]

I agree

[vague kelp]

he had a 2060

still pissed

i wanted it 😦

[sick shadow]

i'm running a gtx 1080ti atm cause like u know why

[vague kelp]

WOW rich

i have some random chinese gpu from 7 years ago

from this pre-build

[modern bone]

What’s it called

[sick shadow]

well i bought it when gpu prices were inflated in 2017 and it cost more than an rtx 3080ti costs atm

[vague kelp]

i hope memory express add pre-order back

[crimson thicket]

@vague kelp you know what I hate even more? my friend bought 6 6800xt's at best buy in Feb to mine Ethereum.

[stoic island]

It'll be year-long preorder again

[vague kelp]

bruh

thats sad

like man

WAIT I AM GREEN

i am not a nobody

[sick shadow]

Canada computes will let u preorder for about half the cost of gpu. Not refundable and u cant change order either.

[vague kelp]

LETS GO

[modern bone]

I wanna be green

[vague kelp]

ya and the fact that when you pre-order

you have to pay the price it was at when you pre-order

even if the cost goes down later

so kinda a scam

who this?

?

um ok

very cool? i guess

[stoic island]

Indeed very cool

[vague kelp]

all good

[peak ginkgo]

Lol, @haughty void

[vague kelp]

but yes very cool

[vague kelp]

want to join the expose the @haughty void ?

[haughty void]

never happened

XD

[vague kelp]

lol

ok budy

buddy

[crimson thicket]

@vague kelp he doesn't even play pc games he only plays on Xbox but he's got 6 6800 xt's mining. Needless to say we haven't spoken much lately lmao.

[vague kelp]

i know like i can get a rtx 3060 ti even a rtx 3080 if i really wanted it

[vague kelp]

Dang what a not cool dude

[modern bone]

He gotten anything?

[vague kelp]

but i have people i know in china but bad part is they never seen a fricken gpu or cpu in there life

so they can get scammed

[crimson thicket]

@modern bone he's made his money back like 5 times over mining and trading crypto. I still hate it tho. It's just making this market worse because miners are willing to pay scalped prices as long as the ROI is still decent.

[serene pulsar]

whats up boys

cannot build the computer i wanted to anymore

[vague kelp]

same

[serene pulsar]

anybody got any prebuilt recomendations with price of 1500-1800?

[vague kelp]

where you from

[serene pulsar]

USA

[vague kelp]

dang you got it luck

[peak ginkgo]

Why a prebuilt? A custom built one by yourself will always be better

[serene pulsar]

pato gave me a nice ABS 1500$ one

i dont know i just need something fast

my computer freezing and ruining my professional esport matches

[peak ginkgo]

I would go with Pato's recommendation since I would of recommended an ABS as well

[vague kelp]

you can all ways just watch the youtube videos rev and see what you want

[peak ginkgo]

If you want to go prebuilt, they're the ones to go with

[vague kelp]

that way you know what there really like

cuz alot of pre-build get there facts wrong COFF COFF lying

[serene pulsar]

what you mean custom @peak ginkgo

is that like somebody building for you

[vague kelp]

like i saw some and they said duel-ram but it only had one stick

so ya

[peak ginkgo]

You building your own is what I mean by custom

[serene pulsar]

i cant

[peak ginkgo]

With all the needed parts

[serene pulsar]

no gpu's

[peak ginkgo]

The last one is 200 more but it has a 3070

For 1500 budget and below, a 3060 ti or 3060 is what you'll get GPU-wise

I'm sure that Pato recommended something similar

[broken kernel]

wouldn't the 10700f be better for their esports matches since it has lower latency

[serene pulsar]

pato gave me a mesh one

he said the glass makes the heat so bad

[broken kernel]

solid panels of any kind suffocate airflow

mesh is gud 👍

[vague kelp]

i would get the 2 link

it seem to me like the best one

[serene pulsar]

ABS Master Gaming PC - Intel i7 11700F - GeForce RTX 3060 Ti?

[peak ginkgo]

Very true which is why I said go with Pato

[vague kelp]

i like that one but you should ask around

for better ideas

[peak ginkgo]

Other prebuilt PCs aren't good. Stay away from Skytech and CyberPower, their quality and customer support are below average but it's your money at the end of the day. You can go with what we recommend or what someone else recommends

[stoic island]

Skytech is actually okay afaik

Definitely stay away from dell/Alienware/hp

[vague kelp]

lol

[peak ginkgo]

Ew, Alienware

[vague kelp]

MSI dont go for those too

there builds are.....

um

[stoic island]

I mean MSI Corsair are kinda one off prebuilts but ye

[vague kelp]

special

[stoic island]

All of them are wacky

[vague kelp]

they really are specail

[peak ginkgo]

Asus PCs are bad as well, they use cheap parts and the case never have any vents except for the one exhaust fan vent at the rear of the case

[vague kelp]

you know MSI scammed some youtubers when there doing rev?

[peak ginkgo]

You're going to pay for Corsair but you're paying for quality though

[vague kelp]

they let you choose one stick of ram or two

he got two

when he opened it only one stick

bruh moment

[peak ginkgo]

Ewwww

[vague kelp]

i know right

[modern bone]

Pugetsystems.com

[peak ginkgo]

I think the worse prebuilts are the ones that Walmart sells online

[vague kelp]

LOL

[peak ginkgo]

Yes, Walmarts sells them as well

And the wiring is horrific

[vague kelp]

all i can say is bestbuy is not as bad as walmart

[peak ginkgo]

Truth, Best Buy has great customer service and a really good return policy

[vague kelp]

the fact that they have phone online chat and more is just better

lol @modern bone what happen there

[modern bone]

Idk

[vague kelp]

you msg went poof

[modern bone]

Mee6 hate me

[vague kelp]

lol

[modern bone]

@serene pulsar google Puget Systems they make custom pc that are built for specific tasks or programs

[vague kelp]

idk about it lol

[languid stone]

Somebody got a rtx 3090 for me?

hmu

🤣

[vague kelp]

sure pay me $2k i will take the extra as tax you know

[little osprey]

$1800 and you take me out to dinner how about that

[vague kelp]

i will do $1800 but you need to give me 3 star dinner

is cheap if your trying to buy a 3090

[little osprey]

$1780 3 star dinner

[vague kelp]

$1779 3 satr dinner

choose me

[little osprey]

$4

(No scam)

[vague kelp]

?

where you guy a gpu for that

[little osprey]

Uhhhhh wish

It was free on wish

[vague kelp]

O

i get it

[little osprey]

It’s real trust me 💯💯

[vague kelp]

let me try

bet

i will try doing it with $0.01

hope it works

my wish is a RTX 3090 founders

[crimson thicket]

@vague kelp MSI scammed me on a laptop and refused to do anything about it

[vague kelp]

i did say they scam...

like the duel-ram stick

[serene pulsar]

can you help me find it

never heard of custom computers

im new in this whole thing

scared to build a computer tbh

[modern bone]

I’ll dm you

You can’t send links here

[serene pulsar]

oh ok

[vague kelp]

can you dm me too i too like to see about it

[crimson thicket]

They listed the laptop as having a 500gb nvme m.2 ssd on their website and Amazon. It shipped with a 500gb sata m.2. The MSI rep told me there is no difference and that I didn't know what I was talking about. @vague kelp

[languid stone]

bro

[desert gulch]

Lol

[languid stone]

I'll sk dk for rtx 3090

[vague kelp]

they did that with the ram stick youtuber had to PAY $20 more for 2x6 not 1x12 right he not no refund

[languid stone]

hit me up

🤣
🤣

[vague kelp]

msi being dum trash as ever

[desert gulch]

Paying more for dual channel makes sense

If they tell you what you'll get

It's honestly a good marketing technique

[vague kelp]

but he did not get the duel-ram

thats the point

he got scam

[desert gulch]

He paid for dual tho?

[vague kelp]

yes...

[desert gulch]

O

Then yeah he should return it

[vague kelp]

why you think i calling it scam

[vague kelp]

its the same thing they said

while charging $20 more LOL

msi being funny better do something about there jokes

[desert gulch]

Sad

[grim wraith]

The build pics chat is still read only for me. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

[vague kelp]

you need to be level 3

to do that

[desert gulch]

Shouldn't need to for build pics

[grim wraith]

Oh okay thank you

[vague kelp]

then idk man maybe the file has to much pixals

[desert gulch]

You only rly need lvl 3 for posting pics in any other chat than build pics and build chat

Like in general and stuff

[grim wraith]

I literally can’t post anything it says read only channel

[desert gulch]

Weird

Maybe they changed it

[modern bone]

You have to be regular

To post pics

Read #roles

[desert gulch]

Not in build chat

They changed stuff since then

Cause ppl would need help and try to send pics

[grim wraith]

The roles said that as a “rookie” I can post pics in the build live chat

Build pics not live

[modern bone]

Are you a rookie?

[vague kelp]

he is

the rookie

[still roost]

:XMARK6: couldyounot, that command is disabled in this channel.

[crimson thicket]

[crimson thicket]

But I got that little EVGA 3060 ti for her

[hard cedar]

[crimson thicket]

Off shuffle

GPUs ? @hard cedar ya you take what you can get here for 30 series

At msrp anyway.

[hard cedar]

oh

here I can just get some 3060 ti

if I had the money for it

most of em are in stock

[crimson thicket]

Can't be picky on GPUs in the states ppl are camping out in front of stores to get any 30 series cards

[hard cedar]

dude

wtf

I can just order any 30 series here lol

[formal girder]

Yeah cards can be hard to come buy but i lucked out eith my location cause amd is a more predominate choice so yeah me lol

[crimson thicket]

I got lucky on a shuffle at msrp

[formal girder]

I can walk in with money and out with 2 3080tis and a 3090 like its nothing

[hard cedar]

why don't you do it then?

[formal girder]

Thats great to hear you got lucky with it and wish luck upon others

[formal girder]

Actually i do for customer builds

[hard cedar]

ohh

well

[formal girder]

And i did one a while back for myself

[hard cedar]

if I just was rich enough for the 3050 ti

id order it

[formal girder]

No 3050ti not worth

[hard cedar]

3060*

[formal girder]

Ok yeah 3060ti is worth it at msrp

[hard cedar]

859 euros

they said 340

will be msrp

but it got to the point of 859

[formal girder]

Rip

[hard cedar]

so yea

but still

if I had 860 euros

Id get it

probs need 865 cuz the shippig

[formal girder]

Yeah

[crimson thicket]

$399 USD is price of 3060 ti Founders but board partner cards are always more

[hard cedar]

but

I am on my way to the 859

still need oround 700 euros tho 😂 I am on my way!

[crimson thicket]

@hard cedar that's double MSRP

[formal girder]

In two days i have to go and grab a 3070ti for another person along with a Ryzen 7 5800X which i will not use stock cooler

[hard cedar]

I know

[formal girder]

If anything i think they want me to waterblock the whole system

[hard cedar]

probs when I have the money the price dropped al little bit

[crimson thicket]

@hard cedar I can get any gpu I want at double MSRP in the states as well lol.

[hard cedar]

I am trying to get this one

[formal girder]

Not worth double the price imo

[hard cedar]

it looks nice 😂

[crimson thicket]

Ya thats like $550 USD MSRP

[formal girder]

Imo try not to go for a specific model but rather try to stay away from certain brands you will get better luck that way

[hard cedar]

wich one should I get then?

[formal girder]

Evga is a more reputable company for such cards

[crimson thicket]

One near msrp

^^

[hard cedar]

but 1 they are ugly 2 they are the bad ones

I am not getting one with 2 fans or 1

[formal girder]

And evga tends to be a lower priced ones along side with founders edition

[hard cedar]

this is the top when I search 3060 ti

dont mind all the dutch

just look at the names and the price

[formal girder]

Stay away from the ventus

[hard cedar]

Videokaart means gpu tho

[formal girder]

Fully aware but helps clarify for others

[hard cedar]

why?

[crimson thicket]

Those are all scalped prices

[formal girder]

Ventus on 3000 series is just horrible

[grim wraith]

I’m trying to get at least a 2080

[hard cedar]

ok

the rest is out of stock

should I get this one?

[vague kelp]

wait till Dec

[formal girder]

High priced but a well reputable card imo

[vague kelp]

it may lower

when RX new gpu comes out

May*

[hard cedar]

so I need to get that obe

one

[crimson thicket]

Ya the ftw3 is prob the best card in there imho

[hard cedar]

I just wait

cuz I dont have the money for now

[vague kelp]

ya wait for it man

[hard cedar]

probally next year

I am 15

my money wont come fast

[formal girder]

RX cards tend to be too high priced and are not worth the value

[vague kelp]

well

it will fix the gpu price abit

[hard cedar]

yea

thats what I thougt

[crimson thicket]

But the price of the ftw3 3060 ti should be lower than 600 euros @hard cedar

[vague kelp]

all i can say thank Jesus

[hard cedar]

yea

I hope it dropped 100 to 200 when I have the money for it

[vague kelp]

same

[crimson thicket]

I wouldn't pay more than 600 euros and even that's above MSRP

[vague kelp]

back to 100 dollor away from msrp will still be good

[hard cedar]

then I can spend the extra money on case fans, nzxt z73 and the second ram kit

[vague kelp]

yes

pls God

[hard cedar]

yea I hope to get that

[vague kelp]

maybe then

[half junco]

What’s the budget

[vague kelp]

they will make it so we can buy AMD non-x

with out buying prebuilds

[half junco]

What do you think is the certain amount of money u spend on a good 1080p

[vague kelp]

3060 ti

best pricing if it was msrp

[hard cedar]

just watched a review on it

ma man talking about 450 dollars! 😂

me at 900 eruos belike 😭

like dude

[half junco]

3060 Ti

[hard cedar]

yes

[half junco]

Hmmm

Around America

[hard cedar]

the amount of time thats going to take it for me to get that gpu

[half junco]

Its about 100

1000

[hard cedar]

is insane

[vague kelp]

cad is around $ 540 msrp

[half junco]

Which I would hold in my area

[vague kelp]

but real cost $1000

so 800 in usd

[half junco]

Until the gpu prices die down a little a bit

I would get it

Or your desperate

[snow wasp]

microcenter evga 3060ti ftw3 was only 509.99

[half junco]

Oh

[snow wasp]

and it was available for walk in

[half junco]

Then go for it

[hard cedar]

If I have the gpu and some extra money id upgrade the rest of my pc then id get a new desk, monitors mic chair and of course the rgb strips all around my room!

[half junco]

I have my gpu card

3090

Asus rog white

Jesus that thing was expensive

[vague kelp]

ya

life for gamers these days

[half junco]

And honey didn’t help me

[vague kelp]

ya

it did not help any more

it is GARBO

[half junco]

Ikr

Clickbait ads be like

[vague kelp]

when MrB was like it will find any discount

WOW GPU price lower now?

nope all lies

[half junco]

Ikr

[stoic island]

Corsair prebuilt kinda crappy tho

[half junco]

Ikr

[stoic island]

Not exactly paying for quality

[half junco]

Corsair ain’t doing good in its prebuilt

That much

[vague kelp]

never was

[stoic island]

Corsair doesn't really do anything that well by themselves

[vague kelp]

ya is sad

[half junco]

Being f if people are rlly buying that garbage

[vague kelp]

ya

with there life savings

[half junco]

The cpu market ain’t that bad

Ehh still the same

[vague kelp]

cpu got back kinda to norma

normal but gpu being trash

[half junco]

Yea corona made a little high

But then it died back down

Gpu shortages and scalpers have been making gpu so hard to find

And then it’s litterly overpriced

[vague kelp]

they say GPU shortage you know what i think is happening?

[half junco]

The world is enduring

[vague kelp]

no

[half junco]

Ending

[vague kelp]

Invida is holding 50% of it in a storage

[half junco]

LOL

[vague kelp]

and they want to sell it at over price

[half junco]

That’s what I kinda thought

[vague kelp]

then when it goes back to normal

then they give the last 50%

it does seem like a real thing

[half junco]

I wish there was like something reasonably

Priced

[vague kelp]

ya

they want all the money

[half junco]

Bro my life savings went into a gpu

[vague kelp]

my has not

[half junco]

Not my whole savings

I still have about 3000$

[serene pulsar]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W8815S1?tag=homeercom-us-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

bad or good

[vague kelp]

is good but i would like if the Ryzen 7 3800x change in to any 5000s

[desert gulch]

pretty bad

[vague kelp]

if your going for the rtx

3070

[desert gulch]

meh pretty bad price to performance

and 2k for a 3070 pc is not great

[vague kelp]

true

you can go for a 1.4k for a 3070/3060 ti

but the cpu sucks even more

[inland parrot]

hey should I get a FreeSync monitor

[earnest olive]

@crimson thicket that 3060ti is adorable

[vague kelp]

are 3060 ti adorable?

[earnest olive]

look in #build-pics

it's so tiny

[vague kelp]

ya i see now lol

it is the adorable

which one?

i guess we will never know

[serene pulsar]

any reccomendations?

pato's got sold out

[desert gulch]

yeah id wait for those abs ones to go on sale again

[woeful trench]

hey guys should i buy hyperx fury,corsair vengeance or tridentz royals?

[vague oracle]

Crucial Ballistix

[kindred cairn]

Can someone help me? I just built a new pc and for some reason it’s not turning on, The PSU is working fine cuz I can hear it turn on when I flip the switch but the the pc itself won’t turn on

[prime birch]

Have you tried just shorting the power headers?

Or making sure you power switch is connected properly?

[clever eagle]

so the fans dont spin and nothing turns on other than psu?

[kindred cairn]

Yeah basically

Oh wait I think it might Bcz of these cables not plugged in

[little osprey]

Check to see if your cpu fan cable is plugged into the right spot and

[kindred cairn]

So the cables that have LED+ and LED- as well as some other pins are they important?

[little osprey]

There is usually a page in your motherboard manual that says where to plug everything in at because every mother board is different

[kindred cairn]

Alr

[desert gulch]

bruh that has nothing to do with a pc not even lighting up lol

the only thing that will do is cause a little error message if your pc doesnt detect a cpu fan being plugged in

[little osprey]

I have a fan that isn't detected on bios but it runs what could be the problem.

[desert gulch]

you sure youre checking the right port?

[little osprey]

All of my fans work and are spinning but when I try and adjust the fourth fans speed it's not showing.

[desert gulch]

using a splitter or hub?

[little osprey]

Ain't got a clue I bought the PC from digital storm.

[desert gulch]

im guessing youre plugged into a aio header/pump header

[little osprey]

I'm new to PCs.

[desert gulch]

aio pump headers wont let you adjust speed, they stay pegged at %100

[little osprey]

Lemme look how would I check if that's the case?

[desert gulch]

should be able to just see where that fan is plugged into on your motherboard

look for a header labeled PUMP or AIO or AIO_PUMP

or something along those lines

[prime birch]

Yes those are important. The header pins for the power switch should be by those. So guessing you don't have the front panel pins plugged in.

[desert gulch]

front panel may not have lighting needed off that

may just be sata powered or something

[crimson thicket]

@vague kelp https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P5-3663-KL

It's that one

@earnest olive I know I wish I could have won a ftw3 in shuffle but it is what it is

[earnest olive]

no it's cute

[little osprey]

Any 3060ti is cute

[desert gulch]

Dell 3060ti: thanks!

Hp 3060ti: thanks!

[cursive patio]

I was wondering were would be the best place to get a prebuilt rn

[desert gulch]

Newegg

Their abs systems

[cursive patio]

right i forgot about that thanks

[desert gulch]

Yeah np

They'll prolly go on sale too if you wait a lil bit

[cursive patio]

ok cool

[quasi apex]

i ordered one of their abs systems and i’m nervous cus there’s a lot of reviews saying doa 😰

[stoic island]

It's more likely that most of the people just had a cable come loose during shipping and didn't notice

[little osprey]

I’d take that

[little osprey]

They’re misusing the terms

They think if it doesn’t work the way they want it to is DOA

some of them still boot to bios and stuff and they say they are DOA

[cursive patio]

does anyone know when the holiday season for newegg starts

[little osprey]

Y

[sage agate]

should i upgrade my 5500xt 8gig and my ryzen 5 2600 or am I still good?

[desert gulch]

id hold out a bit and wait for next gen stuff

like ddr5 and pcie gen 5

then buy in after the early adopter fee is gone

[subtle halo]

molex?

[desert gulch]

good point i forgot about that

i was thinking aio pump header

[little osprey]

Molex?

I'd take a picture but I gotta grind my lvls first to be able to post pictures.

[subtle halo]

yeah we all done it xD just last year when im not a mod yet

lvl 3 is easy

[little osprey]

Yep

[formal girder]

Dont forget the new AMD LGA sockets as well in future

[frank stirrup]

6/10. Also overriden gpu so cant buy rn so u insta failed

[little osprey]

Doesn’t count

Also, why 6/10? Care to explain?

[frank stirrup]

Does.

[still roost]

brooksy#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[little osprey]

No

Well, explain why it’s a 6/10 then

[frank stirrup]

Meh ssd coulda gotten a slightly better cooler, meh ram, and coulda gotten a better case too. Also aesthetics are whack. White ram and case while everything else is black

[little osprey]

That’s kinda how white builds work?

[frank stirrup]

No how? Literally the whole point was to make a list where all parts were available. Gave ya a week you said ya didn’t need it so yeah you failed.

[frank stirrup]

Nah

[little osprey]

Then wait until Thursday and get a 3080 at Best Buy, done

[frank stirrup]

Usually the cooler is also white

[little osprey]

The cooler is light grey

[frank stirrup]

No but you said you didn’t need a week

[little osprey]

I don’t

4 days isn’t a week

[frank stirrup]

Another colour to break up the aesthetics then lol

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bbx3LP white cooler

[frank stirrup]

So ur saying there is a 100% probablity that i can get a gpu from best buy on thirsday

[little osprey]

If you get there at the correct time

[frank stirrup]

4/10

[little osprey]

[frank stirrup]

Theres 2 cpu coolers in the list

[little osprey]

🙄

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n3vJJf

[earnest olive]

@frank stirrup it's CPU cooler SLI idiot

step up your CPU cooling game

i would not put that cooler on an 11600K

the se-224-xt

you are not gonna have a good time trying to cool an 11600K on that

i just put a cooler of similar quality on a 7700K delidded with liquid metal

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cbZYvf spray paint cooler ez

[earnest olive]

ran a 2 hour realbench and it spent the whole 2 hours pegged at 100C

yeah no you need to be looking waaaaay up

[little osprey]

Idle temps tho

[earnest olive]

if you built your pc to make it idle 24/7 then go for it ig

[frank stirrup]

Ahhhh makes sense

[little osprey]

He just said I couldn’t make a list with a 3080 for 1500

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/smKr4d

This is 8 or 9/10

[earnest olive]

i don't like that mobo

[little osprey]

Rgb ram

[earnest olive]

z590 prices for a b560

[frank stirrup]

List with 3080 with everything in stock

[frank stirrup]

Yeh but had the money and it looks great in a white build

[little osprey]

Looks > performance

[frank stirrup]

Dumb but ok

[little osprey]

[frank stirrup]

Looks dont do a thing to ur pc

Half the time u arent even gonna be looking at it

[earnest olive]

i mean does it look that much better than the $60 cheaper prime b560-plus

i don't really think so

[little osprey]

I meant performance > looks i mistyped

Lol

[earnest olive]

you get one extra m.2 heatsink

big deal

[frank stirrup]

Also

Wifi

But i see ur point

[little osprey]

Also 3600 mhz RAM with 11400

[earnest olive]

whats wrong with that

3600 works fine

just because intel lists official support for 3200 doesn't mean you can't go above that

[little osprey]

Why spend the money though

[earnest olive]

...performance?

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QtqFRT

[frank stirrup]

Because intel sees perf gains at higher frequencies too

[earnest olive]

one thing to note about the se-224-xt white version

you cannot turn off the white led

[frank stirrup]

Also the igpu gets more bandwidth if and when you use it

[frank stirrup]

ITS A FEATURE SIPPY

[little osprey]

Why would you use an igpu with a 3080

[frank stirrup]

For troubleshooting, multiple monitors, flashing the 3080 with another vbios, etc

[little osprey]

Also where is the 11400 in stock for 180

[earnest olive]

in my dreams :(

[frank stirrup]

Where is the 3080 in stock for 700$ in ur list lmao

[little osprey]

Best Buy?

[frank stirrup]

Rn?

[little osprey]

On Thursday’s?

[earnest olive]

if 3080 is in stock at 700 I'll buy 20

omw

[little osprey]

1 per household sorry

[earnest olive]

time to bring the squad

https://tenor.com/view/get-in-loser-were-going-shopping-regina-george-mean-girls-gif-3543826

[little osprey]

That works

[frank stirrup]

So you can wait till Thursday and call ur nearest microcenter and best buy everyday and you will get an 11400 fairly soon

[little osprey]

Will you 100% get an 11400?

[frank stirrup]

Its far easier to get it than a 3080

[earnest olive]

still kicking myself for not buying 11400s for $150 when I was near microcenter

[frank stirrup]

Lmao

[frank stirrup]

You should be

Nerd

[earnest olive]

oh yeah?

well at least i don't have intel tattooed on my butt

[frank stirrup]

LMFAOOOI

[earnest olive]

nerd

[frank stirrup]

I love that kato keto whatever hes/she is called

Straight up stand up comedian

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BXNC7X not everything in stock but a 3080 build that doesn’t look bad

[earnest olive]

me watching 3080 FE prices climb beyond 1500

[frank stirrup]

6-7/10

[earnest olive]

whats wrong with it

[frank stirrup]

No no sips its 800 because this guy says so

[little osprey]

What

[earnest olive]

looks like a decent list to me i'd just drop the board to a b560 and maybe a little on the psu

aio is.. well, if you value the tubes aesthetic and/or quiet that much

[frank stirrup]

That cooler is a waste, no igpu, z series chipset for non k cpu and a p500a completely doable and is better

[little osprey]

It’s supposed to be future proofed for 12th gen btw

[frank stirrup]

Also no rgb ram

[earnest olive]

uhh

12th gen is on a new socket

[frank stirrup]

Its not

[earnest olive]

so you can't really future proof for it lol

[little osprey]

Well shush

[frank stirrup]

Lmao

[little osprey]

Just get a new mobo ez

[frank stirrup]

Sippy tgats whata wrong with it

[thick lava]

Hey anyone here that can help me I’m Building a PC with R9 5900x and need help with choosing a motherboard to pair along with it any suggestions would help my budget is 500 CAD

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4GRWgt this?

I FORGOT TO DELTE THE AI

O

[frank stirrup]

Not a thing

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/42NC7X

[earnest olive]

you really like cooler SLI huh

[frank stirrup]

The cpu is 500$

Without any other part

[earnest olive]

would choose asus prime b560-plus over that pro4

[little osprey]

@desert gulch

[frank stirrup]

I despise how this cooler looks

[little osprey]

WTF

[frank stirrup]

Da hek is that white ring doing on the fan

[little osprey]

ARE TOU OKAY

[frank stirrup]

Yea. I am.

That cooler looks like garbage.

[little osprey]

The p12 is a beautiful fan you are on something

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cYBVxc

[frank stirrup]

Garbage looking

Good looking

Big difference

[little osprey]

😑

[obsidian wigeon]

looks are subjective but i do like the grey one than white

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rgx3LP anyway this is my build, probably will add a 2tb hdd later on

[frank stirrup]

The white ring looks like garbage

[frank stirrup]

7-8/10

[little osprey]

Elaborate

[frank stirrup]

650w on an rx6800 is cutting it very close

That board is very very meh

[little osprey]

Amd recommends 600

[frank stirrup]

So?

[little osprey]

It’s pretty good for the price range and it looks great

[frank stirrup]

Not really

Its meh

[obsidian wigeon]

6800 is hungry card

[little osprey]

What are other options then

[obsidian wigeon]

650w better choice for psu

[little osprey]

[little osprey]

I have a 650w

[obsidian wigeon]

oh

yeah then that's fine

[frank stirrup]

650 seems to be fine. Card draws 300w peak my bad

[little osprey]

I had that and you said

[still roost]

brooksy#0001 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[frank stirrup]

Lol

[little osprey]

“650w on an rx6800 is cutting it very close”

[little osprey]

^

[frank stirrup]

It is if you overclock or have a power hungry cpu but I corrected myself

[little osprey]

Mhm

[frank stirrup]

Also the ssd you have is meh. Sn550 beats it everywhere.

[little osprey]

Elaborate

And where is this info coming from?

[frank stirrup]

Not needed. Sn550 amazing rand

[little osprey]

^^^

[frank stirrup]

Tomshardware

[little osprey]

Link pls

[frank stirrup]

Cant be bothered google it

[little osprey]

Fair enough, you win

[jagged ember]

Get the sn550 before you get the nerfed one

Wd betrays

[little osprey]

What

[jagged ember]

Silent swap of the cache

Lowers performance on long read/write operations iirc

[little osprey]

And what are better options for the mobo?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HBpc9N so far this is it

[karmic loom]

Hey can anyone tell whether I should buy a rtx 3070 for 700usd right now or wait a couple of months.

[potent portal]

#graphics-cards message

$700 usd isn't that bad right now tbh. Make sure it's not a scam.

[little osprey]

I’d get one for msrp but it’s your choice. That isn’t a bad price by any means

[karmic loom]

Ok

[warm pasture]

I’d get it if it’s legit. I just paid $650 For a rtx 3060ti

[karmic loom]

Ya the price is like 700-750 usd, so I also don't think it's a bad deal but he, from whom I am getting the deal is telling me to wait for couple of months saying price will drop

[potent portal]

It won't get any better by then. Shortages are set to last until 2023 at the earliest.

[warm pasture]

Also to add, a computer store where I live has ALOT of gpus in stock but they make you bundle them and limit one per person. I was already starting from scratch so it worked in my favor

[warm pasture]

Yep!!

[karmic loom]

K so best would be to grab it

[warm pasture]

Yep get it

[potent portal]

As long as it's not a scam. Local deals are best.

[warm pasture]

And tbh idk if prices will drop. I’ve been wait a year to start my build. You’ll be waiting forever if you wait for price drop lol

Unless you get lucky enough to snag one on a website like Best Buy or Newegg

[potent portal]

Yeah there's always going to be the one group that says "nonono wait for X to launch and Y will go down in price" but there's always another launch around the corner...

[warm pasture]

Exactly, when I found the computer store in my area selling them I just went and got what I needed. Yeah it was over msrp but it wasn’t too bad.

[tame socket]

I got some things for sale anyone interested?

[potent portal]

#rules number 9

[warm pasture]

You’re not allowed to sell stuff here

[tame socket]

Oh

[small tinsel]

So I upgraded my GPU from a 1080 to a 3080 TI
My CPU is a i7-6850K and it seems to be often maxing out to 80% during some games and 100% during content creation stuff ever since the upgrade.
Does this mean I need to get a CPU upgrade or is there something else going on?

essentially my rig is running worst since the upgrade and that sucks XD

[potent portal]

Yeah you can't really upgrade to the latest high end GPU without having a newer CPU

[obsidian wigeon]

cpu is bottlenecking here

[fathom grove]

what load is your GPU running and it does sound like your CPU is the bottleneck

[small tinsel]

okee dokee. I was just about to order the 5900 X but wanted to make sure that was the issue before spending the money XD

what load? Not sure what that means XD

[fathom grove]

also what is your TPU when under load? and clock speeds?

[small tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-nick-young-what-question-marks-idk-gif-14135308

[potent portal]

In this case you'll need a new motherboard, cpu, AND memory. Keep that in mind.
5900X is more than needed, if you want you can save some money and get 5600X with B550 mobo.

[small tinsel]

Grim. Your speaking a crazy language. Sorry XD

[fathom grove]

sorry 😛 i forget that sometimes I say things people wont understand

[small tinsel]

@potent portal why the new memory?

@fathom grove put it in.. kinda knows computer but not really language haha

[potent portal]

Most 6000 series boards were DDR3. New platforms need DDR4.

[fathom grove]

he shouldnt need new memory it should be DDR4

[small tinsel]

yeah my ram is DDR4
