[clear sparrow]

one 1T and one .5T if that's not compatible i'll change it

[young jetty]

?

[stone pendant]

what you tryna run tho??

[clever eagle]

depends you could go for better

[young jetty]

FH4, snowrunner, general driving games that are decent

[fossil cedar]

@clear sparrow https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZmDL8J

Get this instead

[young jetty]

Yeah although I’m really budgeted and it’s the cheapest sub 200 aud 4gb gpu I’ve found

[obsidian wigeon]

gtx 960 can do those without any issue

also how cheap is it for you atm?

like what price

[shrewd trout]

181.99

for a 4gb compared to like 150 for the 2gb

amazon

[obsidian wigeon]

amazon isn't a good source for used gpus

r/buildapcsales, r/techswap or r/techdeals is a good place to look at

[shrewd trout]

nvrm newegg

[obsidian wigeon]

or just fb marketplace sometimes

[shrewd trout]

thought I was on amazon

IDK why lol

[young jetty]

There are multiple for around 80$

[obsidian wigeon]

nice

if they're legit then you can get em

make sure it's the 4gb version

[clever eagle]

they would do pretty good
great price

[young jetty]

Yeah I’m thinking so

[wheat coral]

MANGO

[fossil cedar]

Cube

[young jetty]

I’ve stopped looking at amd cards because they have SKYROCKETED in price

[young jetty]

Yiss?

[warm pasture]

Ouuuu nice purple

[wheat coral]

amd bad anways

[warm pasture]

How long did that take lol

[little osprey]

[warm pasture]

Here’s mine https://pcpartpicker.com/user/twinliciouz/saved/#view=vprKXL

[wheat coral]

smh mango

[warm pasture]

Lol I share mine free

[frank stirrup]

TAKE THAT BACK NERD

[warm pasture]

Lol

[young jetty]

Hmm?

Oh yeha

[shrewd trout]

first off lol I did too...and also now I know why you asked about whats wrong with Zotac 😅

[young jetty]

I was making a month ago but I gave up when I was getting spam pinged about the accounts not working when the peeps who bought them were entering them wrong…

[shrewd trout]

I was just waiting for it LOL

[warm pasture]

Yeah I was like what’s wrong with it lol. I got it brand new from computer store near my house. I also watched reviews on it and it was positive reviews

[wheat coral]

LISTEN

BOTH MY AMD CARDS SUCKED DRIVER WISE

[shrewd trout]

yeah my bad 😅 I do really like MSI the most tho...well so far I might try a different brand later

[frank stirrup]

YOU BAD NOT UR CARDS

I SIMP AMD

BAD FLOPPA

[warm pasture]

I got what I was able to get budget wise and what was available

[fossil cedar]

[shrewd trout]

LOL ROFL

[warm pasture]

I think I did pretty good for my very first build

[shrewd trout]

I agree it looks like a great build cleaner put together than mine even 😅 I keep telling myself I need to redo the cable management on it especially before I start streaming gaming on youtube and twitch

[wheat coral]

AMD BAD

[still roost]

twinliciouz#6532 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[frank stirrup]

DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT ABOUT MY BAE

[warm pasture]

Like I already wanna move that one cord in front of the gpu

It bothers me

[shrewd trout]

on mine?

[warm pasture]

No on mine

I didn’t say a bad word

I am very particular about cords

[shrewd trout]

oh lol it looks cleaner so "shrugs"

[warm pasture]

There’s one in front of my gpu that is bothering me lol

[frank stirrup]

ana word is bad

[peak ginkgo]

From someone who has to deal with AMD cards at work and at home (family PC), I can attest to this.
AMD drivers (latest ones) tend to make the card or system unstable. I almost always have to rollback the driver to a previous version to keep it stable

[wheat coral]

my 280x sucked ass driver wise

my 570 was stable on a few of the drivers

[frank stirrup]

My card always on latest drivers

even optional ones

im on 21.8.1 rn

[warm pasture]

I always see mixed reviews on amd vs intel

[wheat coral]

now ya see

myt card can be on the latest drivrs

with almost no worry

[warm pasture]

Like some ppl like some ppl don’t

[wheat coral]

if its gonna work or not

[peak ginkgo]

Nice, that's really good

[peak ginkgo]

I like them both. There's pros and cons for each as well and it depends what you want and need them for. Plus, most people judge one bad experience and make their minds up about something

Also, you have the fanbois that will hate on the other for no reason

[warm pasture]

Yeah that’s why I don’t listen to ppl when they only say they don’t like it cuz of what happened to them

I’m not a fan boy I just got what was best for me and what I need to do

[peak ginkgo]

Yup, lots of those. There are two types of people who has issues with something. One person who gets the remedy and are happy and the other who despite efforts to fix the issue, they will never be happy

[warm pasture]

If anything happens no biggie I can fix it. It wouldn’t be a huge or expensive fix

[peak ginkgo]

A fanboy is someone who loves one thing and will hate on the other for no reason

[warm pasture]

Yes I know lol

[real flicker]

Amd is incredible

[warm pasture]

I do fanboy on certain stuff 😂 like hair products

[shrewd trout]

Speaking of the most fan boys in the world Coughs "Playstation"

[warm pasture]

Oh god

[shrewd trout]

LOL

[warm pasture]

Okay story time

[shrewd trout]

I have both no story

[wheat coral]

xD

same

[warm pasture]

I showed my friend the video of my build and he said “you opened your console” lmaoo

[shrewd trout]

unless you have one

[wheat coral]

i just dont like amd from my previous exps

[warm pasture]

He told me I woulda been better getting a ps5

[shrewd trout]

Bwahahahahahaha

What a ....

[warm pasture]

I do have a ps4 tho. I told him it was time to upgrade

[real flicker]

You tryed them recently though or seen much on them

[peak ginkgo]

One of the worse fan boys are PS owners, tbh

[shrewd trout]

LOL yes it was

[wheat coral]

tried

bot h of those things lol

[shrewd trout]

thats why I said it...

[peak ginkgo]

"You opened your console" LMFAO.

[real flicker]

What was wrong with them?

[wheat coral]

drivers

[warm pasture]

I can totally understand esp if it was a thing that kept happening

[warm pasture]

I was cracking UPP

[real flicker]

What about the drivers

[peak ginkgo]

Both for me as well, I work in IT and we use AMD cards for our workstations but Nvidia for our laptops. We almost never have issues for the laptops but always have issues with our desktops

[shrewd trout]

LOL

[wheat coral]

they suck

[real flicker]

Just curious as I've literally never had any issues with both my cpu and gpu drivers

[wheat coral]

ive had plenty

you also dont have anything close to the same gen ive had

[real flicker]

So you've had problems with old stuff?

[wheat coral]

not particularly old

[peak ginkgo]

Latest drivers causes stability issues, blue screens, crashes, freezing within apps, etc. For my company any ways. Rolling back a driver is normally the fix. We've worked with AMD and their engineers just recommend rolling back the drivers as well since a lot of updated drivers cause issues on their cards

[wheat coral]

with my 570 i even had issues

[shrewd trout]

ok I've got a better meme you might appreciate more

[warm pasture]

Well if this happens I know who to ask for help ahahahah

[real flicker]

Strange guess just got lucky with it all cause never had an issue but fair enough if you don't like them

[wheat coral]

my 280x was driver hell

could barely launch apex without crashing

let alone play it at decent framerates

[warm pasture]

I crash in apex everyday on my PlayStation

It’s so horrible

[real flicker]

That's a rather old gpu with not great specs

[shrewd trout]

I never had Issues on my xbox HMM LOL

well except dying

[real flicker]

😂😂

[warm pasture]

I haven’t started gaming yet on my build. I’m waiting for a desk to come and we’ll see how it goes

[peak ginkgo]

My experience with AMD GPUs are their production side of it. CPUs that costs over 2K a piece and they even gave us some 6800 and 6900 XT cards to see if it fixes any thing but some drivers are good while most of the time, it causes crashes or stability issues. We're even on their Dev program so we get drivers before beta releases and talk to them constantly

[wheat coral]

hence why i was rweferencing my 570 at first lol

[warm pasture]

😂😂😂 yeah it’s honestly the hard drive it’s old and I’m not gonna replace it.

[peak ginkgo]

So yes, by experience since I deal with AMD, Intel, and Nvidia everyone, I strongly dislike their GPU but its more on software than it is hardware

[shrewd trout]

let me know when and I'll play if you want I'm gonna be playing mainly destiny 2 but whatever is cool I'm still trying out new games

[warm pasture]

It’s a nay for me on destiny 2. I didn’t like it much. I’m a division fan boy 😀

[peak ginkgo]

We use the AMD Radeon Pro W6800, W7100, W5700, Radeon Pro VII, 6800 XT and 6900 XT here at work. The hardware's fine but the software is what causes all the issues.

Now, we have Nvidia Quadro, RTX 3000, RTX 4000, and RTX 5000 GPUs and they run without having hiccups or issues.

[real flicker]

Whats that like a 4gb card in there old 14nm process

[warm pasture]

I do pkay hella games tho so it won’t be hard to find a game we can play together

[wheat coral]

still not really old lol

vram amount =/= old lol

theres 4gb 5500xt's

lmao

[real flicker]

Wish I could get my hands on those kind of cards 😂

[shrewd trout]

how dare you LOL no its all good I love division OMG I hope I can transfer my character because otherwise thats a Megaton of grinding

[real flicker]

No not old just not great spec for apex

[warm pasture]

Some stuff can’t be transferred over. Like from apex.

[peak ginkgo]

Lol, I work for an engineering firm so we get them by the bulk. AMD, Intel, and Nvidia will ship to companies like ours since we're high production and by everything in high volumes

[wheat coral]

570 is fine for apex xD

[warm pasture]

And rainbow 6 siege too. But soon they’ll allow to switch over

[wheat coral]

esp if you just want a 60fps exp

280x not so much

[real flicker]

That's pretty cool

[peak ginkgo]

I like them both, honestly but Destiny 2 has gotten uber grindy the past several seasons. I just wish they would kill it off and give us D3 instead of all of these DLCs

[warm pasture]

I have a lot of progress in a lot of games I wonder what can’t be transferred over

[warm pasture]

Yep!! Or make them cheaper to play. I would play it but there’s too much catching up to do now

[shrewd trout]

Joins discord makes friends actually now I have two well I used to be on discord because of a clan for destiny 2 for pvp but they literally said I had to be on and play every day I finally left after all that ugh anyways lol

[real flicker]

Been looking to get a 6800xt for my set up pair with my cpu, up my ram to 32gb

[warm pasture]

I can’t be in clans for that reason

I can’t be on everyday sometimes I take long breaks. I have 2 kids and a whole life- clans be trippin with that

[shrewd trout]

yeah I don't remember if it was DPJ but they had around the same amount of members and actually another guy left because he didn't like how they handled that.

but I was on their pvp team as a specialist for pvp

[peak ginkgo]

Same here, the wife and I are both gamers and we can no longer game together as often as we used to due to have two children

[shrewd trout]

the leader was a real .... and yeah it was just dumb

[warm pasture]

It’s just me and my 2 kiddos. Lucky me they’re gamers too ☺️

[shrewd trout]

but I mean its whatever now thats also why I'm basically in a clan with only my raiding friends from D1 days

[shrewd trout]

thats awesome

[warm pasture]

I have my gaming friends and we just hit each other up whenever we have time to play the same game

I got lucky cuz I won a grant to help w hardware upgrades

[shrewd trout]

what thats awesome

[warm pasture]

Yeppp I honestly wasn’t expecting it I just applied and hoped for the best

[shrewd trout]

well congrats then 😀

lets see if their still awake....

[warm pasture]

🎉 thanks!

I am in too many chats

[shrewd trout]

@frank stirrup

[frank stirrup]

[peak ginkgo]

My boys are also gamers

[warm pasture]

Lmao

I have one similar

But it’s a metal meme

[peak ginkgo]

Nice

Congrats

[warm pasture]

Thanks!

[shrewd trout]

I couldn't help it I'm actually surprised they didn't say anything

[peak ginkgo]

Any time

[wheat coral]

floppa

[shrewd trout]

floppa floppa flame yes that'll do nicely 👍

[warm pasture]

I have 2 boys as well. 16 and 9

[shrewd trout]

I was the meme king last time I was on discord so I apologize if it seems personal its usually a joke usually

[warm pasture]

Noooooo it’s completely fine

[peak ginkgo]

8 and 2

[warm pasture]

That’s a nice gap

[peak ginkgo]

It is, my oldest is my stepson but I treat him like my own. My youngest is my biological. I met my wife when my oldest was 2

[shrewd trout]

I found a meme for intel LOL jesus

LOL

[warm pasture]

Do they fight all the time? Mine do. Boys are ROUGH lmao

[frank stirrup]

I was joking when I said what I did about amd

[warm pasture]

It’s me

It should say DEAD INSIDE

[frank stirrup]

i dont have too much of a preferance

[warm pasture]

😂

[clear sparrow]

Remember when I said my friend had a gpu I could use? He sent me these two pictures and I have no idea what gpu it is but I think I need to fit a gpu in my budget as well.

[wheat coral]

uts a 750t0i

[peak ginkgo]

They do but its always the little one starting it, he's the bully

[shrewd trout]

aww man here I was wanting to stir the pot a little LOL not really just for fun

[fossil cedar]

It will do til you can find a better card

[warm pasture]

Same for mine hahahaha

[fossil cedar]

Better than integrated graphics still

[warm pasture]

Lmaooo your plan has backfired

[shrewd trout]

right

[warm pasture]

I need some hot tea

[clear sparrow]

I don’t think it has DisplayPort tho

Or does it? I can’t tell

[fossil cedar]

No it has 1 hdmi, 2 dvi and one vga

[frank stirrup]

And once again pato. HDMI is proven to be the master race

[fossil cedar]

Ree display port bae

[wheat coral]

fool rawr

[warm pasture]

I thought it was IMDH

😵‍💫😵‍💫

[wheat coral]

i have 3 dp 1x hdmi and 1x dvi

[warm pasture]

😂

[flint sapphire]

[frank stirrup]

HDMI more versatile

hence better

logic

[flint sapphire]

dp more data and cooler

[fossil cedar]

Just more popularer

[shrewd trout]

this sounds like when you needed more ooga boogas

[frank stirrup]

and popular things always good for you.

like smoking

[warm pasture]

How do you do that

[fossil cedar]

[clear sparrow]

What’s the name of the gpu so I can put it in the parts list

[wheat coral]

[earnest olive]

no

I thought it was general lol

cat pics and memes in build chat

I just woke up

[potent portal]

Yeah I don't know what was going on there, I was playing skyrim lol

[clever eagle]

dead'

[calm pecan]

i was thinking about financing a pc what you guys think https://www.scan.co.uk/products/scan-gamerrtx-intel-core-i5-10400f-16gb-ddr4-12gb-evga-rtx-3060-1tb-m2-ssd-win-10-see-info

the cpu isn’t too good

[potent portal]

10400f isn't top of the line sure, but it's not bad by any means

[calm pecan]

£25 a month

i could always upgrade that cpu anyways

it’s between to pcs to finance ill link the other one now

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/scan-gamer-amd-ryzen-5-3600-8gb-ddr4-6gb-evga-gtx-1660-super-1tb-m2-ssd-win-10-see-info

[potent portal]

Nah that first one is far superior

[calm pecan]

but i’d need to buy another 2x4gb ram so i get 16gb or just get to 8

the 2nd link is £5 cheaper per month

[potent portal]

But you also get half the GPU performance

[calm pecan]

true true

u reckon i should go with the 3060?

[potent portal]

Yeah the 3060 is superior in every way

[calm pecan]

okay

[potent portal]

And the 10400f is about equal to the 3600

[calm pecan]

i only have a 74hz monitor right now

i’d need to wait a while to get a 144hz

[potent portal]

That's fine, you can run high details so you're not going too much over the refresh

[calm pecan]

lemme try find my monitor to link u cos i only use it for console gaming

https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/gaming/pc-gaming/gaming-monitors/lg-ultragear-24mp59g-p-full-hd-24-ips-lcd-gaming-monitor-black-10204158-pdt.html

75hz sorry

i bought this last lockdown

first lockdown i mean

[rugged nebula]

whats the difference between B450 and B450M

[calm pecan]

@potent portal do u know a 24inch 144hz monitor

[potent portal]

The M is smaller, Micro ATX form factor

[potent portal]

MSI Optix G241/G242

[rugged nebula]

thanks

[calm pecan]

ty bro

[potent portal]

It also has 2 hdmi ports so you can still use it with your consoles

[calm pecan]

oh so i could have my ps5 plugged into that monitor aswell as my pc

idk if this is stupid but do u have to use a hdmi cable for ur pc to ur monitor or is there a wireless way

[potent portal]

Yep no need to swap cables. You could even have the PC plugged into displayport and have 2 consoles on the other inputs

[calm pecan]

ohhhh that’s rlly good cos i’ll stay play my console

for games that i can only play on console

[potent portal]

Tech isn't quite there yet, the speed and low latency needed for competitive gaming means wires only for now

[white osprey]

best laptop for about 400 dollars?

will be used for gaming but nothing heavy

send links pls ❤️

[potent portal]

You'll just have to look at local used listings

[calm pecan]

oh rite okay jw because i seen somone have like an HDMi stick in their pc and monitor

[potent portal]

Probably a capture card

For recording

[calm pecan]

oh yeh

do u recommend getting a counter top and alex drawers or just a desk

i have a 135cm width space for the desk

[fossil cedar]

Pretty nice pc for 1k

[calm pecan]

thanks

i’m gonna change case tho

to the 4000d airflow mesh in white

[carmine ivy]

Howdy, I was going to post my build in build-pics (like the #roles outlined) but I am unable to. Anyway, can't wait to show off my first ever build.

I practiced by playing PC Building Simulator. That game was honestly really great for a beginner like me.

[fossil cedar]

@celest horizon , saw you're online, rookies can't post in build pics anymore, but roles say otherwise btw

[carmine ivy]

Understandable! Just a bit confusing, haha

[warm pasture]

I had to level up before I could post mine

[fossil cedar]

Yeah, used to be like that, but think it's outdated or something wrong with roles

[warm pasture]

Like it was read only and when my name turned green I was able to post in the channel

[carmine ivy]

Well it's not a very impressive build. It's got a 1030 in there, lol.

Also I have no concept of cable management

[stoic island]

cable management is not needed at all

[obsidian wigeon]

cable management is optional

tho with decent enough case

you can always put the mess away

[carmine ivy]

Yeah, most of the mess is hidden by the back panel. But, you open that up and it's spaghetti

[celest horizon]

They don't need to, but they can upload photos here for troubleshooting purposes

[fossil cedar]

Fair enough, just in #roles it says they can

[celest horizon]

Oh you mean regulars not rookies?

regular role can post images

There is no rookie role, but role-less can't

[fossil cedar]

Right

Just thought I'd mention it

[carmine ivy]

I understand splitting hairs, but the #roles channel explicitly says Rookies can do xyz, which is where my confusion stemmed from.

I'm not, like, trying to call you guys out or something, rofl.

[analog hearth]

ok

[wary path]

How much does rtx 3080 used cost in ur country guys?

[analog hearth]

the redundancy is strong with this one

[light marten]

how much rgb should i have to get the most performance out of my system?

[wary path]

The more the better

you should go with full rgb fans, ram, gpu and cpu waterblock

[light marten]

should i leave the colors on rainbow vomit? heard mixed opinions about it affecting performance

[wary path]

and probably should add like 5 led strips around ur case

heard it will boost performance over 200%

[light marten]

hm i heard anything over 4 is redundant

[wary path]

rainbow vomit is quite good

[light marten]

ig i may as well go 5 to make sure

[wary path]

i just go with fast strobe

helps me run 4k games

[light marten]

ill put rgb on my gt1030 and then I'll be able run 4k games

[formal girder]

This physically hurts to read

[wary path]

:D

[carmine ivy]

Don't hate on the 1030

It does some work

[formal girder]

Not the 1030 but the rgb comments

[still roost]

Libakoer#9417 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[carmine ivy]

uh ohhh

[wary path]

oh no

[warm pasture]

The more lights the better you play

[formal girder]

Lol

[wary path]

i was just ranting how i actually have a bad pc and i prefer my rgb on the table, like keyboard and mousepad

[warm pasture]

Get a 50ft led strip and put it in the case

[celest horizon]

epower it

[light marten]

I'll make sure to have my rainbow pc on almost the very edge of my peripheral vision to maximize annoyance

[wary path]

since my pc is under the table it doesnt really matter how much it flashes and tbh rgb cases look dumb in my opinion

[warm pasture]

It’s purely aesthetics

[carmine ivy]

My PC is to the left of me, so I don't even get to see all the pretty lights

[wary path]

ofc u can make a pretty one, but who does really care about how ur pc looks, the preformance is what really counts

in my opinon for sure. But sadly i have neighter

[celest horizon]

Nah, you need a custom loop for the flex

[warm pasture]

I see the appeal you want it to look nIce for yourself

[light marten]

fr i have every light disabled in my pc. the only lights are power and my keyboard

[wary path]

Yea. Id rather go with cheaper components than getting fancy rgb

i like when my keyboard looks fancy. Thats all the rgb i want!

recently bought pudding keycaps and i love em

[carmine ivy]

Can't wait to show of silly lights on the PC I just built. It makes since when you know who the client is but, yeah, rainbow vomit to the 9s

[wary path]

:D

anyone still rocking fx cpus? :DDD

[carmine ivy]

I heard they're making a come back

[wary path]

wish i was able to build a new one. id definetly go with ryzen!

[carmine ivy]

yeah I went with ryzen

[wary path]

my giga gaming pc has 64gb of ram but a fx 6300 and r9 270x :DDD

accidentally bought 4 sticks of ram

i guess i can now have a couple of chrome tabs open ;D

[light marten]

i bought 4 sticks before i found out what single rank and dual rank were

[wary path]

:D the thing is i payed for 2 of them, but got sent 4

[light marten]

oh nice

[celest horizon]

Unless you're sweaty overclocking, don't usually have to worry about rank count.

[wary path]

otherwise i would have never bought that much for my lil sadboy gamerpc

[carmine ivy]

Wait that actually happened? I see posts on reddit but I think they're all fake

[light marten]

i am sweaty overclocking

[celest horizon]

IC can matter depending on your target clocks and total ram

[wary path]

yeah i literally got 4 instead of 2

[carmine ivy]

That's amazing. How does that even happen.

[celest horizon]

64GB on a fx 6300?

[wary path]

oh no 32gb

my bAD

[earnest olive]

surprised fx 6300 even supports that much

oh

[wary path]

still 4 sticks

[earnest olive]

lol

[wary path]

yea

[celest horizon]

8GB is maximum / stick on ddr3 udimm yeah

[wary path]

yes

[carmine ivy]

Oh. yeah I got 32gb with 4x8 as well. I was a little jelly of the 4x16

[earnest olive]

FX 6300 with 8 dimm slots pog

[wary path]

hahaha

i mean the mobo i have is quite good

when it was released

[celest horizon]

Opteron 6212 or something is basically a quad channel 6300 lol

[light marten]

i wish i did more research before i got my x570 aorus elite

[carmine ivy]

Well, 2 dimm slots is optimal anyway

[wary path]

gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 rev 4

[light marten]

good mobo but cant get past 3733mhz 1867 if on my ram

[carmine ivy]

If you're going purely for performance

[wary path]

that was top of the line from what i remember

[celest horizon]

Those are great boards for the price tbh

[carmine ivy]

But our little animal brains see 8 dimm slots and go "ooo more is better!"

[wary path]

someone sold a used one for like 50€

i cant remember it was a long time ago

maybe was cheaper

[light marten]

yep it's a really nice board just sad i cant oc my ram anymore because of a bios/agesa bug
1900 IF doesnt post, and anything higher will post but spew whea errors. happens on 2 and 4 sticks

[celest horizon]

1 dimm/channel boards only really matter a lot for well over 4000mt/s

[wary path]

i was looking to get fx9k

something

the best fx cpu for like 25€

but i really dont think its too worth to waste money on this build

[celest horizon]

Upgrade to a modern platform lol, fx was obsolete before it was released.

[wary path]

yes i know

the thing is, its just so expensive

in my country our salary is low

[celest horizon]

But yeah, I think that one giga 990 board is strong, I use a crosshair iv extreme for benching on 990 , but the c4 formula's are popular as well.

[wary path]

yea

if i ever was going to upgrade i'd wait for the gpu prices to come down

no way im wasting so much money for a gpu

[carmine ivy]

Yeah... stupid economy

[wary path]

in my country rtx 3080s used go for like 1100-1300

€

[carmine ivy]

I am angry I didn't buy that 3080 before the tariffs and shortage. I could have.

[earnest olive]

I would say an upgrade to a cheap fx 8 series might be a decent stopgap if you can get it for really cheap, like 25 like you said

if you aren't going to be doing a full platform upgrade for a while

going from 3 to 4 cores will help even if they're not very strong cores

[wary path]

the thing is, going for a fx 9000 series requires a psu upgrade also

[earnest olive]

can go 8000

[celest horizon]

$100 on a PSU is an investment that can last over 10 years

[wary path]

i got a deal for 25 for only the fx 9000

[earnest olive]

ah

[wary path]

ya

[celest horizon]

Even $70 can get you something decent if you only need 550w

[earnest olive]

well yes like forks said you can just buy long term psu

[wary path]

still an amazing deal, tought i could buy it and sell it on ebay for more or something

[earnest olive]

I'd do it for 25, you can also sell your fx 6300 probably for nearly that much

[fossil cedar]

I mean the segotep gp 600w is a pretty decent b tier for only 50$

[earnest olive]

isn't it C

[fossil cedar]

B

[earnest olive]

ah they moved it up?

[wary path]

whats the difference between bronze/gold/platinum. Just higher qualitly internals and hardware?

[fossil cedar]

Wait its in c and b?

[vague oracle]

Better efficiency

[wary path]

ah, i see

[earnest olive]

different models

segotep GP-G is C-

[earnest olive]

that's the $50 600W one

[carmine ivy]

LTT was saying Bronze is not really something to be proud of these days, but hey it's still something.

[fossil cedar]

Ohh wait nvm I'm blind

[vague oracle]

Bronze is the bare minimum

[earnest olive]

the ones in B tier are GP-P and GP-T

[fossil cedar]

Yeah i misread

[earnest olive]

GP-G is still usable but I wouldn't put something too high end with it

a 3060ti is a fine pairing for it

but pushing it a little depending on cpu

would stick with an x60 class gpu on that psu most of the time

spikes shouldn't be much of an issue on lower tier gpus

as long as you're not going crazy and pairing it with an i9-11900K for some reason it's a fine unit for an x60 class gpu

60ti fine if going with a lower powered ryzen 5

still would recommend going a bit higher unless your budget is really tight though

[vague oracle]

Just to make sure 750watts is fine for a 5900x and 6800xt?

[earnest olive]

yeah you're fine

[wary path]

im trying to get a good deal on a used ryzen 5 3600x

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[earnest olive]

alright I'm gonna drive home now pce

[fossil cedar]

Don't bother tbh

You can get 10400's for cheaper

[wary path]

i could get one for like 120-150

[fossil cedar]

Oh damm prices gone down?

Last i looked it was like 150

[wary path]

for the used ones in my country yes

i never go with new parts since i just cant justify getting them

it really doesnt matter to me if its brand new or not. im not going for any records

i just cant wait to game with over 60fps :D

or i will just win the intel giveaway and become a megagamer

[fossil cedar]

It's not that, just old tech is just not as good as new tech really

[wary path]

yeah. i get that

[fossil cedar]

They make improvements each gen(usually)

[wary path]

i dont want the best of the best. Usually even lower tier parts cost more than 1 gen older top tier parts

or thats what i have seen and reasearched

not a fact :D

[fossil cedar]

I would say the 11400(f) would be a bit more but their stock has been iffy(at least in the us)

[wary path]

i5 11400f is 188€ and if 11400 is around 200€

[carmine ivy]

Yay I got to post my pictures. I got to say, the hardest part of the build was the fans. The CPU fan and the case fans all took waaaay longer than installing anything else.

[fossil cedar]

Where?

[wary path]

europe

northern europe

[fossil cedar]

What country in Europe ;-;

[wary path]

estonia

[fossil cedar]

Ohh I've no idea about that

[wary path]

:D

i get that alot

[prime birch]

@carmine ivy It would really clean up your build if you run your 24 pin and the 8 pin EPS behind the motherboard tray and pass through the holes by where they plug in. That way they aren't in front. Congrats on your first build!

[carmine ivy]

Thank you! I tried but it's just not long enough. I really wanted to run them behind the case as you say.

I tried. I got scared I'd break the 24 pin with how much force I was using, I wussed out.

[prime birch]

They should be. Standard PSU cables and that case isn't big

[carmine ivy]

Maybe if I flipped the PSU around.

[prime birch]

Doesn't hurt performance. Would just make it looks nicer.

[carmine ivy]

lol yeah, it would I totally agree

[prime birch]

Does your case have a vent at the bottom?

[carmine ivy]

Yes

But there isn't much space from the bottom to the shelf. Not much at all. So, I think that would be a bad idea

[prime birch]

Yeah better to have the PSU with the fan down. Although you probably don't have that hot of air in the case

Either way the cables should be long enough if you wanted to route behind the mobo tray.

[carmine ivy]

Well, where to put fans is always a tough call. The case documentation suggested I do it this way. With 3 120mm intake fans, I think it's more than fine, but I debated the decision a lot

Good to know! Next time I open it up, I'll give it a try.

[prime birch]

Good luck!!

[carmine ivy]

Ohh you know what, I hadn't removed the HDD tray when I tried the first time. I've since removed that. I bet it'd work better now...

Damn it I don't wanna open it up again, hahaha

[prime birch]

HAHAHA I get that. I always try to cable manage as I go as I hate having to go back too

I watercooled my system and then it took me about 2 months to clean up all the cables.

[formal girder]

why cable manage when you can hide the cables behind the door panel on the corsair 5000D

[carmine ivy]

Seeing pretty colors was the 1 and only requirement my client gave me.

[formal girder]

i also have returned with a 3090 white edition strix and gonna go do this client build and make some good money

[brittle tinsel]

My brothers pc suffered a hard drive failure, he has tried to reinstall the contents into a different drive but it keeps saying it already exists. He has tried deleting those items and it says it. Can’t access E drive (the one that failed) is there a way to fix this? Without a clean slate preferably

[carmine ivy]

Okay I feel silly asking this but you gotta start from square one. Did you boot into the bios and change the boot letter?

Looks amazing, @prime birch!

[rancid lodge]

Anyone got any good laptop suggestions for the 700-800$ range? Looking for something with a nice display (doesn’t really have to be above 60hz) that can act as a work laptop and a low-midrange gaming laptop.

No real size constraints, and trackpad doesn’t matter too much as I’ll get a mouse to use with it

[prime birch]

Thanks!!

[rancid lodge]

I have a chonk enough PC that this doesn’t need to be super powerful as I’ll just be modeling and texturing on it along with a fair bit of typing so a good keyboard is preferable

[brittle tinsel]

Would that help at all? There is no drive detected at all, and I don’t have a drive to plug in to change it, the only remaining drives he has are a 250gb boot ssd and a 500gb hdd

[brittle tinsel]

Those are both damn near full

[limber solstice]

Anyone have any good advice for the best performing gpu for $250-?

from any site

[fossil cedar]

Usd? Probs like a used rx 580 or something

[limber solstice]

k

thats what everyone says so ight

[limber solstice]

One last question is a 8gb for 225 too sketchy or nah

[fossil cedar]

225 is not too much for an rx 580 8gb, it's quite good actually, I'd make sure it's not a scaam

[limber solstice]

k

[earnest olive]

look into a 6gb GTX 1060 at that price point

if the 8gb rx 580 for $225 falls through

[limber solstice]

Its gone now

[earnest olive]

8gb rx 580 is usually more like $300

yeah

[limber solstice]

Now its just a 255

[earnest olive]

8gb rx 580 is more attractive to miners than 6gb gtx 1060

but they have similar performance in games

[limber solstice]

k

[earnest olive]

so you could look for a 1060

1060 is also more power efficient in gaming which is nice

[fossil cedar]

Falls through?

[earnest olive]

doesn't work out

[fossil cedar]

How come?

[earnest olive]

huh

[fossil cedar]

Like you mean ir doesn't happen?

[earnest olive]

idk maybe "falls through" is an american expression

a deal "falling through" just means it didn't end up happening

[fossil cedar]

Afaik it just means it doesn't happen i think

But not used at all here lol

[earnest olive]

yeah that's what it means

I'm sure irish people have different vernacular

[fossil cedar]

Ahh yeah rx 580 8gb for 225 if legit would be nice tho

[earnest olive]

there's even different vernacular between people in the same state here lol

[brittle tinsel]

Could anyone help me with this please

[limber solstice]

Yeah

now the cheapest for a 580 is 255 that i see and for the gtx 1060 its like 200 but still sketchy

[fossil cedar]

1060 6gb tho?

[brittle tinsel]

It’s against the rules to sell/advertise in this discord isn’t it?

[earnest olive]

yes

[fossil cedar]

You need to really need to make sure they legit tho

[brittle tinsel]

Damn

[earnest olive]

but he's not selling or advertising

[limber solstice]

Yeah

[little osprey]

thoughts on the most recent post in tech deals? looks rather nice tbf.

[limber solstice]

I found one for 177 with a good rating by 60 ppl

[brittle tinsel]

I was asking regarding me, I have 3 570s and no one is buying lol

[fossil cedar]

It's cute idea but that's about it, nothing special imo

[brittle tinsel]

I think I’ll keep em for replacement parts now

[fossil cedar]

Hella sus

[limber solstice]

Yeah

[little osprey]

143 USD for the case, equipped with 4X gentlye typhoon fans, along with a 650W 80+ Gold unit

[stoic island]

Nidec GTs are nice

[limber solstice]

Ok theres one for 202 dollars

Is it sus?

[fossil cedar]

See if there's a mesh panel option mb?

[brittle tinsel]

Any ideas on how to fix would be appreciated, even a link to an article in the right direction. I just can’t find anything that works

[peak ginkgo]

No, its a bid with 6 days left so it'll be well over that when it ends

[limber solstice]

Oh

[fossil cedar]

It's a bid with 6 days left, gonna go up in price

[limber solstice]

Found this on rec

Sus?

prob

[little osprey]

ill look further

[peak ginkgo]

Not worth it

[vague oracle]

Is that a water cooled PSU?

[fossil cedar]

It's a 550 ti.......

[little osprey]

lol

[vague oracle]

Lmao

[fossil cedar]

It's kinda like a proprietary seasonic thing that's kinda like 12vo from that bar?

[little osprey]

you can remove the bar actually

wouldnt work tho kekw.

[earnest olive]

seems fine just cause that power supply doesn't need an upgrade

[peak ginkgo]

Looks cool

[earnest olive]

there's a bundle with a 750w option as well

I'd go for the 750

[fossil cedar]

750w is a good bit more tho

[fossil cedar]

124 after mir vs like 164*

[peak ginkgo]

Really good, actually'

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[little osprey]

Anyone here wanna show me their pc build like their parts they used?

[stoic island]

There is a factor of "do as I say and not as I do"

[lyric thistle]

it could be anything from the low end 400 or 500 series

[earnest olive]

the 750 one also has mir

it's 135

I'd definitely pay 10 bucks more

that psu would be a pain to upgrade if ever needed

[fossil cedar]

Ohh i thought it was 164 after mir

[earnest olive]

nvm it's 128 actually

lol

yeah that's a no brainer

[brittle tinsel]

If you really want to see my list, give me a minute to find it. I will definitely end up being made fun of lmfao

[fossil cedar]

Ohh dammmm

[fossil cedar]

As mr1111 said, mines a bit of do as i say not as i do but https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/list/Khp6Gq

[little osprey]

I can’t make fun of someone when I know nothing about building PCs (the parts that is like what is good and what isn’t) except how to put it together

[brittle tinsel]

So you want the part list or a pic of the build??

I@ confuzled

[little osprey]

The parts list and a pic I guess cuz it’s pretty cool to see what a pic looks like when it’s done and built

[earnest olive]

will I get made fun of

[little osprey]

No

[fossil cedar]

no your build segsy

[earnest olive]

people made fun of me for being weeb

good thing I don't care

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/thQqqs

[brittle tinsel]

I don’t care either but mainly everyone hates on me for the cpu/gpu combo, then tend to forgot the shortage makes it hard

[little osprey]

Maybe if I knew more about pc building I wouldn’t be so scared of buying part for a pc

[earnest olive]

5950x geforce 210? 👀

[brittle tinsel]

It’s scary at first but honestly once you do it, you will realize it’s super easy

[earnest olive]

delicious

[brittle tinsel]

Who snitched

Nah 3900x 1060 3gb

[earnest olive]

I'm your local fbi agent

I am watching

your ram is running at 560 tRFC

are you scared yet

[fossil cedar]

[little osprey]

I ordered all my parts the same day. Everything comes in today except the tower comes Friday. Thanks Newegg. How bad would it be to wall mount everything instead?

[earnest olive]

wall mount everything?

[fossil cedar]

what????

[earnest olive]

you gonna glue your mobo to the wall?

[little osprey]

Yes

Yes

[fossil cedar]

ehh no

pls

[earnest olive]

I mean

you better get some nice sag support for your gpu

or else it's gonna snap out and hit you

[little osprey]

Maybe just lay it all out on my desk

[earnest olive]

that works

as long as you uhh

don't accidentally hit it or spill stuff on it

or have a pet or child

lol

[fossil cedar]

yes you can do that, just run it on the motherboard box

[little osprey]

I’m thinking of buying me a gaming laptop from like razer but an issue I have with it is I want it to last longer than 3-4 years which is what online says they last for

[earnest olive]

razer sucks

[little osprey]

Maybe I can just use the box they all shipped in

[earnest olive]

they make tiny laptops with terrible cooling and power throttled gpus and then charge you a premium for it

[little osprey]

Can you find me a good gaming laptop?

@earnest olive

[stoic island]

what budget

[little osprey]

I’m willing to go to $2k

[stoic island]

usd?

[little osprey]

Yeah

[stoic island]

prob gonna leave it to bleach to look more

I'm lazy

but 2100$ for this thing
https://www.newegg.com/shale-black-acer-nitro-5-an517-41-r3nx-gaming-entertainment/p/N82E16834360064

[little osprey]

No reviews on it?

[earnest olive]

setup goals?

[little osprey]

Looks pretty good

[jagged ember]

Nice specs

[earnest olive]

hmm I don't like it

it doesn't show the wattage of the gpu

which means it's probably low

cause the good ones usually like to advertise it

[stoic island]

I was confused in tech deals yesterday

my train of thought from yesterday because I don't remember any of it

review here
https://www.laptopmedia.com/review/acer-nitro-5-an517-41-high-end-hardware-and-a-good-price-tag-in-one-place/

[earnest olive]

85w? yeah that's garbage

[stoic island]

nono

[stoic island]

the frequency observed indicates like 115w+

but review says 85w

and then acer website says 100w

[earnest olive]

I looked up acer website

says 100w

yeah

my 130w 3070M I see hitting 2100mhz so

[stoic island]

and then frequency on acer website correlates to 85w pl

[earnest olive]

3070M and 3080M have practically identical performance at the same wattage

I'd look for a high power 3070M laptop

[stoic island]

I mean

it's still a bit better

[earnest olive]

I'm pretty confident my 3070M would slam the 3080M in this laptop

[stoic island]

moar cores, but yea

[stoic island]

what are you even making your 3070 pull

[earnest olive]

130W

I didn't modify it in any way

[stoic island]

ah

[earnest olive]

I used liquid metal on CPU but not GPU

[stoic island]

wacky

maybe you can run benches on your 3070 mobile and compare w results from the review

[earnest olive]

my 3070M hits the same time spy as stock desktop 3060ti

sure I have time spy

does review have time spy

[brittle tinsel]

I cant attest to their laptops, but my peripherals are all razer minus the blue snowball microphone. they have lasted a very long time

[stoic island]

@earnest olive review has fire strike, you got fire strike?

[earnest olive]

I should

https://www.3dmark.com/fs/25168299

29532

[stoic island]

graphics score of 23987 according to review

[earnest olive]

yeah

my 3070M chokeslams it lmao

[stoic island]

but I'm not sure if it's overall of fire strike

[rigid relic]

ordered this monitor (was 200 when i got it) what do y’all think? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-g27c-10-27-led-fhd-curved-freesync-monitor-hdmi-raven-black/6404029.p?skuId=6404029

[stoic island]

well

I don't know

[earnest olive]

it says graphics in the title bro

85W is a huge bottleneck for ampere

[stoic island]

I don't know if it's supposed to say
Fire strike - Graphics benchmark
or Fire Strike Graphics - benchmark

[hard cedar]

my dream pc

[stoic island]

but prob

[earnest olive]

trust me a 3080M 85W does not beat a 3070M 130W

reminder that they're the same chip as well

[stoic island]

oh I'm not saying it will

[earnest olive]

3080M is GA104

[stoic island]

I'm just saying it has more cores

[earnest olive]

more cores enabled but not enough power to feed them

[stoic island]

6144 v 5120 SUs

but true

[earnest olive]

the core difference doesn't matter much at such a low wattage

[stoic island]

might be low as heck pl

[earnest olive]

if you limited a 5950X to 85W it would get slammed by a 5900X at 130W

[stoic island]

prob not the best comparison but maybe?

[earnest olive]

it's the same concept

I already showed you my 3070M embarrassing that 85W 3080M

[stoic island]

(5950x generally just better silicon that's more efficient but yea)

[earnest olive]

well 3080M should also be a slightly higher bin than 3070M

[stoic island]

true

[earnest olive]

sadly I can't recommend my laptop model cause it's been out of stock forever

[stoic island]

sad

but maybe you also just got lucky on the silicon

[earnest olive]

this one is really good though

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834233457

if I was shopping today I'd insta buy

5900HX, 140W 3070, 144hz IPS

[stoic island]

other laptop gets you 360hz xD

kinda crazy

[earnest olive]

yeah as if it'll hit 360hz in anything besides league of legends

more expensive and significantly lower performance

[little osprey]

What about Minecraft? 👀

[earnest olive]

uhh

turn on rtx and watch it suffer

if you're serious about buying a $2000 laptop

literally just instabuy the one I just linked

[little osprey]

You: speaking smart stuff
Me: listening and not knowing a thing about it 👍

[earnest olive]

I don't expect it to stay in stock

[rancid lodge]

Uh yeah since this got buried ima post it again

[earnest olive]

that's about as good as current gen laptops get

[rancid lodge]

Anyone got any good laptop suggestions for the 700-800$ range? Looking for something with a nice display (doesn’t really have to be above 60hz) that can act as a work laptop and a low-midrange gaming laptop.
No real size constraints, and trackpad doesn’t matter too much as I’ll get a mouse to use with it

[earnest olive]

without paying the useless 3080M tax

[earnest olive]

r/laptopdeals

that's where I found my laptop

go browse

[rancid lodge]

hm alr

I'm just not sure what to be looking for exactly

[little osprey]

Do you think Walmart would have a good laptop to play on? 😐

[earnest olive]

lol

[rancid lodge]

but whatever I find that looks good is what I'll research lmao

[earnest olive]

walmart

don't make me laugh

[little osprey]

Walmart my best friend sometimes 👀

No but seriously, do you think Walmart have anything good? Or nah?

[earnest olive]

something as good as what I just linked?

about as likely as you finding a $10 A1 wagyu steak on EVGA.com

I'm telling you that is literally perfection in laptop form until next gen comes out

literally tempted to sell my laptop and buy it

[little osprey]

If I was to buy it and it doesn’t work or has problems, is it refundable?

@earnest olive

[earnest olive]

yes

[little osprey]

Okay, I guess I’ll look into it

[brittle tinsel]

I dont have access to get a photo for you but here is my specs. its taken a few years to get to this point, 5 years to be exact. dont take this path, the tower is the size of a mobile home, and this whole system weights around 150 Lbs making it impossible for me to move with my dyskinetic cerebral palsy

[sharp pelican]

its in

[vague oracle]

I should’ve taken a picture of when I put mine in yesterday

[stoic island]

Sad photo quality not the best, can't really tell production date

[vague oracle]

What does production date tell you about the cpu?

[stoic island]

Earlier chips tend to be worse bin than later chips

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

[stoic island]

Prob less so for Zen 3 but it made a reasonable difference for Zen 2

[vague oracle]

Might be why my 3700x wasn’t as well binned

[stoic island]

Prob

[sharp pelican]

should be better to read

idk, this is my first AMD build

[stoic island]

2021 week 21 it seems

Good to have the photo down the line

I was curious about mine and having to remove the cooler and clean off thermal paste was annoying

[sharp pelican]

so i got a good bin?

[little osprey]

150 lbs?!?

[stoic island]

Can't say much about bin other than it's not early sample

[sharp pelican]

ah, gotcha

ngl, im kinda stressed

only bc amd has pins on the cpu

got past that part though

[stoic island]

It'll be fine, just don't force it

Drop it into the socket yaknow

[sharp pelican]

yep

pretty much what i did

[stoic island]

Ye

[sharp pelican]

a gentle let off

i gotta buy a fully modular psu eventually

i have a semi modular psu rn

[stoic island]

Doesn't matter that much

[sharp pelican]

less cable management to deal with

and considering i have to connect 7 fans somehow

[stoic island]

Semi mod has most of the optional cables optional so

Meh

[sharp pelican]

i got a 360 aio and 4 140mm case fans

[misty heron]

hello i need a laptop for school. I don't want it to be too slow since i only need it to take notes and code. My budget is like 1k but anything less than that will be even better

yep

i mean does coding really take up that much space?

u said in other chat i should get like 512

[stoic island]

good to have

[misty heron]

oh hey mr1111 😄

[stoic island]
