misty heron

2rsfrs#0169 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

misty heron
#

it says in one of the reviews that the wifi chip is bad

#

i dont see anything about battery

stoic island
#

should just be bog standard 802.11ac chip

#

oh I see that review

misty heron
#

Battery charges super fast and lasts a long time

stoic island
#

that doesn't really matter unless you expect to have like 1gbps wifi

misty heron
#

1 month tho

#

of ownershiip

#

true

stoic island
#

single band 802.11ac can still do like 400mbps max iirc

#

well

misty heron
#

alright thanks for the help mr1111

#

will get now

stoic island
#

433mbps

misty heron
#

time to play FORTNITE on it!

stoic island
#

go do you

misty heron
#

the cons mostly consist of bad webcam but idrc

#

awe man is this really only at newegg

gotta see if i can get a discount on iit

awe darn its not there

#

Let me ask the first question
Do you have speakers right up against the screen next to or in front of the monitors?

vernal dirge
#

Try to move them farther away.

#

Give it like 2-3 inches from the monitor.

#

And then give the monitor time to fix itself.

#

Like 24 hours.

#

Report back if it’s still flickering.

#

I mean you can but first check if that’s the problem.

#

Had the same issue with my monitor though.

#

Might be perm damaged if it’s been doing it for while

#

I’d separate them, see in 24 hours If the issue is resolved. If it is, commit with the tape. If not, then idk.

@charred quail

#

Here

#

It’s less active

charred quail
#

My questions are done lol

#

Since I'm being forced into the chat here

#

Is the Kracken Z 73 any good

#

Looks soo good

broken kernel
#

it looks good but doesn't perform the best

earnest olive
#

@charred quail I immediately reject all nzxt aios by default because they'll require you to install the eldritch horror known as nzxt cam

#

which will directly reduce the performance of your PC

charred quail
#

Oh no

earnest olive
#

while also having below average thermals compared to other aios of the same size class

charred quail
#

I will delete that

#

Maybe ill try to learn how to water cool

earnest olive
#

nzxt cam is a software that takes an absurd amount of system resources for a background task and also doesn't allow your PC to go idle

charred quail
#

Yikers

earnest olive
#

yeah it's pretty stinky

charred quail
#

Think learning custom water cooling would be hard to learn?

earnest olive
#

custom water really isn't worth the time and effort unless you really like the aesthetic, really care about squeezing out single digit performance gains at the cost of a couple hundred bucks, or really care about making your PC quieter than your breathing at idle

#

I don't bother with custom water because I enjoy the ease of swapping out parts whenever I want

#

and don't want to bother with doing loop maintenance

charred quail
#

Whaaa? Water cooling that quiet?

earnest olive
#

depends on how far you're sitting from it

charred quail
#

Alright maybe I'll settle for an AIO

earnest olive
#

you can get an air cooled PC quieter than your breathing if it's a couple feet away

charred quail
#

I have the brown nocturna thing

#

It's quite but I also want my pc to look amazing

little osprey
#

what yall thinkin about AMD 3D Chiplet?

#

Need help wiring my pc

mystic needle
#

my gpu needs three 8 pin connectors on it and i have a corsair psu

#

does that mean i need three of these?

#

or can i just use two

#

since there’s a second connection

#

i’ve heard that it’s not good to connect the second 8 pin thing but idk if they were wrong

little osprey
#

yeah it isnt good

#

its recommended to use a seperate one ive been told in the past

mystic needle
#

okay thanks!

little osprey
#

what gpu do u have?

mystic needle
#

im getting the msi gaming x trio 3080ti😎

#

it’ll arrive next week though

formal girder
#

Dont daisy chain your gpu cables

little osprey
#

oh thats a nice card

formal girder
#

Nice choice

little osprey
formal girder
mystic needle
#

i just rushed to get whichever 3080 i could reach my hands on 😭

little osprey
#

im hoping u got it for msrp

mystic needle
#

i’m using corsair’s rm850x

#

i very much did!

formal girder
#

Good job

little osprey
#

oh then that is good

formal girder
#

And that was a deal and a half you got in todays market

#

What are your other specs if ya dont mind me asking

mystic needle
#

it’s just 3080ti’s are easier to get than the 3080 that’s why i said i rushed haha

formal girder
#

3080ti can perform as well as a 3090 in some cases so you snagged a wonderful card

little osprey
#

Eh

#

Send a benchmark pls

unborn flicker
#

Love my rtx 3090 kingpin

little osprey
#

3090 costs more than my build at msrp

mystic needle
# formal girder What are your other specs if ya dont mind me asking

im running with a b550 taichi since it was on sale so i didnt get x570 rip, 16 gb trident z neos, a 5900x, 3080ti, 1tb teamgroup nvme(kinda wish i got a better one), nzxt kraken x63 aio, also got a 2TB samsung 870 evo ssd, and of course my rm850x. all inside a p500a rgb case👍👍

formal girder
#

Neat just a little worried for cpu with that Nzxt aio

earnest olive
#

@mystic needle you only need 2 cables for 3 8 pin gpu

#

it's recommended not to daisy chain for 2x8, you should use separate cables there

#

but for 3x8 it's fine to have one daisy chain and one lone cable

mystic needle
earnest olive
#

nzxt aio bad

mystic needle
earnest olive
#

yes that's fine

mystic needle
#

ah okay i’ll see 👍

#

any recommendations for a cooler?

earnest olive
#

nzxt aio performs below its size class and requires you to install their garbage bloatware

mystic needle
#

rip😔☝️

earnest olive
#

ehh just go with what you think looks good as long as it's not one that requires bloatware

#

like nzxt or corsair

#

most aios don't need special software to control

#

can do with bios

stoic island
#

orrr, go for arctic liquid freezer ii because performance is nice

#

there's also lian li galahad that looks quite nice

#

also ek-aio

earnest olive
#

they're the best absolute performance yeah but

#

most other aios also perform well enough while being cheaper or maybe looking better to the purchaser

#

I won't stop someone from buying a liqmax iii for value or a silverstone pf360 for liking the look

#

as long as it's not a bad unit

stoic island
#

like if they spend their money out of their own choice after acknowledging the recommendations I provide, yea, definitely, that's their choice

#

but I gotta at least give them the recommendations :D

earnest olive
#

yeah

median sleet
#

what happens if my gpu is too big for my case and i have to mor moneyz left

earnest olive
#

you do this

#

case is optional

median sleet
earnest olive
#

(but seriously it hurts nothing to go without a case for a while until you can get another one)

median sleet
#

ok

earnest olive
#

just don't accidentally hit your PC or spill stuff on it lol

stoic island
#

just need to clean the dust off a bit more often

real flicker
#

Are you running two gpus

stone pendant
#

and dont put your finger in the fans of course

earnest olive
#

I mean

#

why not

#

@stone pendant does it hurt you

#

I poke the fan

real flicker
#

3070 and what's the other one?

earnest olive
#

3070

stone pendant
stone pendant
earnest olive
#

well I just overclocked it to 0 rpm

#

does that count

real flicker
#

How well does that run?

earnest olive
#

yeah the tuf one that i just booped is supposed to go into a gaming pc for someone but he flaked so now i'm just mining on it while i wait for another person to buy the pc

median sleet
#

is the msi rtx 3070 ti suprim x overkill?

earnest olive
#

evga one was just way too cheap for me to resist i don't have a pc to put it in

earnest olive
median sleet
earnest olive
#

league of legends? yes
cyberpunk 4k ultra psycho rt? 3090 is too weak

#

isn't tf2 an ancient game

median sleet
#

yes

#

i also sweat in roblox

earnest olive
#

there's your answer

#

i see tf2 running at 300 fps on a gtx 970

real flicker
#

A potato can run roblox

earnest olive
#

can't imagine what you would need a 3070ti for

real flicker
#

What cpu you running mole?

earnest olive
#

in that rig?

#

a 3600x

real flicker
#

Nice

peak ginkgo
little osprey
stoic island
#

all suprim x models are kinda overkill

#

mostly overpriced but also overkill because of how overpriced it is

median sleet
median sleet
obsidian wigeon
#

2k

#

yeah no no

jagged ember
#

Not for that damn price

grim wraith
#

So I’m trying to find a graphics card for my wife she currently has a 1060. Should I look for a 2080 for myself and give her my 3060 or get a 3060 for her as well?

obsidian wigeon
#

uhm, well that's a hard situation

grim wraith
#

I have someone willing to sell me their 2080 super just trying to weigh pros and cons

stoic island
#

What price tho

obsidian wigeon
#

^

stoic island
#

Wouldn't really take it above like 600-700$

obsidian wigeon
#

it's defo upgrade from 3060 but only if price is right

grim wraith
#

He’s asking 700

desert gulch
#

Hmm

#

Which one exactly is it?

earnest olive
#

$700 is pretty good for a 2080S

#

similar performance to 3060ti

small tinsel
#

@obsidian wigeon I was just about to order the parts we talked about yesterday and I saw an error in pc part picker that had me worried, can you look at it for me?

desert gulch
earnest olive
#

hopefully a good triple fan

#

inb4 bios update warning

desert gulch
#

Like a dell or hp or anything

earnest olive
#

hey ryan

desert gulch
#

Hey

earnest olive
#

dell 3090 won the better than dell award

obsidian wigeon
earnest olive
desert gulch
#

Yes

obsidian wigeon
#

im busy eatin atm

#

gunna help moar soon

desert gulch
#

Very gud

#

Sippy did you see the gn vid on the aresgame crap psu?

earnest olive
#

saw thumbnail and title and r/hardware discussion

#

didn't watch

small tinsel
#

@obsidian wigeon not the bios one. I wasnt worried about that. Its something to do with a 4 pin connector from the power supply to the mother board

desert gulch
#

Loo

#

Lol

grim wraith
#

So 700 for a 2080S is good?

desert gulch
#

Ye

earnest olive
#

what model

desert gulch
#

Aslong as not hp or dell crap

grim wraith
#

I’m waiting on a reply from the dude

desert gulch
#

Ight

obsidian wigeon
#

i dont wanna scroll up so much

grim wraith
#

From the video it looks like an evga model

earnest olive
#

if it's dual fan it's pog

#

if it's triple fan it's POG

#

if it's blower it's no longer pog

small tinsel
#

@obsidian wigeon We can wait till your done eating if you want ❤️

grim wraith
#

2080 super xc gaming ultra

earnest olive
#

@small tinselit doesn't matter

grim wraith
#

2 fan

earnest olive
#

that extra 4 pin cpu power is only for extreme sub ambient overclocking or avx512 on an 11900K

grim wraith
#

So with that model is it a good deal?

earnest olive
#

good enough

#

one of the lower end 2080S coolers but it'll do

grim wraith
#

Okay I might keep looking but it’s definitely my best option at the moment

small tinsel
earnest olive
#

@small tinsel am i invisible or what

small tinsel
#

@earnest olive lol
Hello, your not invisible, I was eating my food. XD

earnest olive
#

why $500 for this psu

small tinsel
#

Im not sure what I paid for it. I bought it 5 years ago but the website currently shows it at 550

#

Do they normally go for 200?

earnest olive
#

it's prob worth like $80 brand new rn

#

being sold for more than it's worth

#

i would upgrade

#

actually no this is a really old model $80 would be a stretch

small tinsel
#

5 years ago? Thats not that old 😮

earnest olive
#

i wouldn't pair this with a 3080ti

#

i don't think psus from this time were designed to handle a single gpu spiking above 500 watts

#

wattage isn't the full story

small tinsel
#

😮

small tinsel
#

if Ima buy another one, any harm in just getting the 1000W? I would prefer to future proof

earnest olive
#

don't know if the older CXM units have the same coil whine issues as the newer ones

#

uhh

#

a decent 1000W unit will cost a lot more and you're really not getting any benefit out of it

#

what are you futureproofing for? dual 4090 machine learning rig?

small tinsel
#

LOL
Dont the current 3090s need a 1000W?

#

Thats what I read online

earnest olive
#

no

#

whoever wrote that is a clown

small tinsel
#

Oh the internet. 🙃

earnest olive
#

high quality modern units are designed to handle short spikes above rated power

#

cards spike to 500-600w for tiny fractions of a second

#

my 750w psu trips at 1kw

#

happily powered a 3080 and 3070 at the same time for 2 months

stoic island
earnest olive
#

yeah

#

like i said

#

not something i'd pair with a 5900x 3080ti

stoic island
#

mhm

small tinsel
#

hm. okay
💸

stoic island
#

a-gf 850w is neat

small tinsel
#

💸💸💸

earnest olive
#

you have a $2500 drawing tablet

#

i think the money flew away long ago

#

my $30 drawing tablet is staring at me

small tinsel
#

I use my Cintiq a lot 😄 One of my favorite and most useful purchases

#

0 regrets with that expensive purchase HAH

#

lets not forget that it doesnt come with its stand. Its stand was another $500 💩

#

@earnest olive does the rest of the build look good to you?

#

I updated the power supply

little osprey
#

Fr tho are the aio and mobo fine? If not what should I change them to

obsidian wigeon
#

well

earnest olive
#

looks fine i assume everything marked as purchased you already own

obsidian wigeon
#

sips helped ya it seems, just finished eating

small tinsel
#

@earnest olive yesss

pale dust
#

money is just a number

#

i cant do anything with it

earnest olive
#

then yeah you're fine

small tinsel
#

@obsidian wigeon yeah. Sounds like the answer was amy power supply was a piece of bs 😄

obsidian wigeon
#

a gf is always the answer

earnest olive
obsidian wigeon
#

joke not implied

pale dust
#

woah

#

ok i see a very bullish pattern here

earnest olive
#

oops

obsidian wigeon
#

it used to be 50k a week ago

pale dust
#

the only logical progression from here

earnest olive
#

there

pale dust
#

is for the 4 to become a 9

#

clearly

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah bullish pattern

earnest olive
#

now this is a budget build

pale dust
#

completing the sequence

obsidian wigeon
#

90k would be pog

pale dust
#

yes

#

i wanna see

#

96969

#

on btc

obsidian wigeon
#

lmao

small tinsel
#

lord

#

yall making my pc look like a joke

pale dust
#

lmao

#

budget maplestory

obsidian wigeon
#

we're here to fix all your horrible builds™

#

some doesn't like to listen sadly

#

cause they think they know better

small tinsel
#

My build is decent right? I dont want to buy some sucky part

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah

#

after our suggestions

#

it's good now

small tinsel
#

xD

#

Thank you, my lord and pc savior

obsidian wigeon
#

just yell at us if the thing doesn't boot when it comes or something

#

jk, i meant askin us lel

small tinsel
#

I mean of course. If something borks, yall are the first ill complain to 😄

obsidian wigeon
#

haha

small tinsel
#

I was getting case recommendations, since i pretty much have to buy a whole new pc, might as well get a new case and just sell the old one. So whats your case preference?

obsidian wigeon
#

I prefer Corsair 4000D/5000D myself, love the white version

#

The airflow version tho

#

Fractal Design Meshify C is also my fav

#

So is Phanteks P300A/360A/400A

#

Any of those should work decently and fit your existing AIO, assuming it's 240mm

#

I always prefer mesh front and looks at the same time xD

#

Max airflow does make things cool down well

small tinsel
#

is there a reason I would go ether 4000d or 5000d?

obsidian wigeon
#

Size

#

4000D isn't that small just to add tho

#

But if you want bigger the 5000D exists, or even 7000D

#

But the 7000D is huge

small tinsel
#

how big is the difference between 4000 and 5000? Is it an extra fan worth or just more spacious?

obsidian wigeon
#

More spacious iirc

#

I'll have to check spec sheets

#

But 4000D is enough imo, unless 5000D happens to be cheaper

small tinsel
#

im seeing a lot of reviews saying the front dust filter hits the fans D:

obsidian wigeon
#

Hm, looks like 5000D has side vent too

#

Well, depends on what fans lel

small tinsel
#

side vent?

obsidian wigeon
#

If they're so thick, it's a problem

shrewd trout
#

I like my ASUS tuf case myself the breath ability is really good

obsidian wigeon
#

this

small tinsel
#

oo. thats cool for cooling

obsidian wigeon
#

4000D lacks that side fan mounts

#

But you don't really need it tbh

#

Save cash n go 4000 instead

#

Tho 5000D sure is more spacious even if you don't use the side mounts

shrewd trout
#

How much those run?

obsidian wigeon
#

idk, just lookin at corsair it's 94 bucks for 4000D airflow

#

5000D is about 120

#

Newegg probably has it cheaper

shrewd trout
#

Oh that ASUS one was I think 170 but breath’s amazing for what it is a little more 😅

obsidian wigeon
pale dust
#

4000d is great

#

it looks very nice

obsidian wigeon
#

They're not supposed to put the fans on the front of the mounts, between the front panel

shrewd trout
#

Like do you have a pic

pale dust
#

i wouldve gotten a 4000d instead of td 500 mesh

obsidian wigeon
#

It's actually supposed to be mounted behind

shrewd trout
#

I can show you the ASUS one

obsidian wigeon
#

like dis

shrewd trout
pale dust
#

no rgb fans with the case though

#

which kinda sucks

obsidian wigeon
#

idc about rgb myself

#

fans can always be added

shrewd trout
#

That’s actually mine but I like rgb that’s why I have so much you should see the room lol

small tinsel
#

Do you think the 5000X Tempered Glass version reduces the airflow by a lot?

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

#

and it costs way more too

shrewd trout
#

I wouldn’t mind one of the open rigs those look cool

pale dust
obsidian wigeon
#

just get 5000D and rgb fans if you wish instead

pale dust
#

does one come with the corsair?

obsidian wigeon
#

gotta check

#

Not icue case, so no hub

small tinsel
#

I love the exterior look of my case but the interior is annoying to deal with

obsidian wigeon
#

wait a review does say 4000D has a hub

#

hmm

small tinsel
#

But im smol and my case has handles so I love it

pale dust
#

hmm yeah it does

#

i guess maybe?

shrewd trout
pale dust
#

idk adding fans in after seems like a pain

pale dust
shrewd trout
#

I’ve seen it but I’m not sure

obsidian wigeon
#

4000D and 5000D does indeed have fan hub

pale dust
#

yeah

#

hmm

#

its tough

#

because then you gotta take the fans out and then rewire them

#

not hard but for me

#

id probably take 2 hours to do that

#

im not even kidding

obsidian wigeon
#

two fans are connected on 5000D

#

cause ye one front, one back

#

the hub supports 6 fans

pale dust
#

wait wait wait

#

theres a

#

new td 500 mesh

#

"2021 upgrade"

obsidian wigeon
#

huh

#

well id prefer 5000d myself still

pale dust
#

well

#

it seems like its just better case fans

obsidian wigeon
#

4000d seems to lack a hub

#

only 5000d has it

#

checked with techpowerup reviews

#

uh, english?

#

nah

#

it's plain ass hub lel

desert gulch
#

It's a TikTok thing

obsidian wigeon
#

oh lol

desert gulch
#

Lol

pale dust
#

F

#

for chinese kids

obsidian wigeon
#

wtf

#

wow lmao

#

3 hours per week

#

china be china

desert gulch
#

It's not my fault some ppl are dumb and don't use TikTok 🤷

obsidian wigeon
#

dumb for not using tiktok, wew

#

alright kek

desert gulch
#

Like Newegg discord kekw

lyric thistle
#

tok tik

#

app

small tinsel
#

I only use it to try and grow one for my dog LOL

#

Downloaded it like 5 weeks ago. Its a huge waste of time for sure lol

lyric thistle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

small tinsel
#

hmm. Im half tempted to go with a black and white build now

#

Whats an equivalent of this that is white?
Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard

obsidian wigeon
#

white mobos tends to be spensiv

small tinsel
#

how much more spensive for one of the same specs?

#

just flipping through the build pics, im kinda tired of seeing black and red builds. (Which is what I have curently as well lol)

obsidian wigeon
#

erm well, usually enough to put me off

#

cause im all for max value

small tinsel
#

could you link me to the card I should get if i was to go white?

obsidian wigeon
#

hmmm

#

depends on what series of the card ya want lel

small tinsel
#

shrug
Whatever is like the one yall recommended yesterday? (one mentioned above)

#

Yall would know better than me honestly hahaha

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

#

you can get pcie wifi+bt cards

#

they should be pretty easy to find

#

just make sure they have intel chip inside

#

like ax200 or something

#

they take up 1x pcie slot

#

i meant pcie x1 slot

#

mobos should have like one or two below or above the pcie x16 slots

small tinsel
#

oof. 100 bucks for a wifi card?

brittle island
#

Why do you need wifi when you can have ethernet

small tinsel
#

I have ethernet, but I like having wifi as a backup

brittle island
#

O ok then go on for a 100 bucks wifi card

small tinsel
#

that seems crazy expensive

sage ivy
#

hey guys should i get a ryzen 5 3600 or a intel i5 10400f?

brittle island
sage ivy
#

i am going to the the 1660s

brittle island
brittle island
sage ivy
#

ok! Thanks

brittle island
#

Happy to help

pale dust
#

its a lot cheaper

brittle island
#

You do not get the pcie gen 4 speeds

pale dust
#

something that makes little difference anyway

obsidian wigeon
#

ones for les should exist

#

like random brands

#

it doesn't have to be brand name lel

shrewd trout
#

Yes it does

obsidian wigeon
#

as long as it has the nice chip and decent reviews

#

it should be okay

shrewd trout
#

Ok yeah what you said after that

obsidian wigeon
#

no

#

pcie wifi cards

Oh mines built into my motherboard

#

ASUS hero xi WiFi

obsidian wigeon
shrewd trout
#

“Built in”

obsidian wigeon
#

or this

#

still good enough

shrewd trout
#

👆

#

Pretty much identical specs it looks like

#

Mostly

obsidian wigeon
#

same chip actually

#

ax200

shrewd trout
#

Hmm

#

Pick the red one it’s perdy lol

small tinsel
#

ugh. I wish there was a part picker website that has a 3d render of all the stuff your getting together. That would be sick

obsidian wigeon
#

for the generic, no name cards

#

you can obtain drivers thru intel

#

they don't provide their own drivers

#

just uses generic intel one

shrewd trout
#

I run off of WiFi myself my rooms too far away from the main router but I have a aimesh system on the ASUS rog 11,000ax router and nodes

obsidian wigeon
#

i have the ax200 myself

#

it's pretty nice

#

tho it's not soldered, it's a pcie adapter that fits e-key m.2

shrewd trout
#

Yeah the 11,000ax is expensive af

obsidian wigeon
#

for the wifi card

#

i can probably steal it and slap it into the laptop, but naaah

#

too lazy

viral ore
#

so i finally got around to figuring out exactly how much i spend on my pc setup

odd meteor
runic flare
#

Monitors randomly go black then say "no signal" whilst the PC is still on, any idea how to fix this?

lyric thistle
#

new moniter

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

odd meteor
#

or just giove it to service

#

servicing is a bit bad idea

#

once something bad happens to tech gadgets it is just done for life, servicing will not last long

small tinsel
#

I just realized I was planning to remove the cpu cooler from my current pc which I dont want to do. Whats a good cpu cooler? Prefer white if possible

brittle island
#

Deepcool gammax gte v2 white

obsidian wigeon
#

erm

#

lian li galahad

#

wait i got confused

#

you're gonna keep using the existing pc

#

i say get id cooling sse-xt or something

small tinsel
#

just gonna sell it probably or use it at a second. "shrug"

obsidian wigeon
#

se-224-xt

#

that's the exact cooler

#

it should keep the 6850k cool

small tinsel
#

the only component that is in it that I would be taking out is the cooler lolll

obsidian wigeon
#

it's dirt cheap too for performance it offers

small tinsel
#

6850k? I got the 5900X

obsidian wigeon
#

oh

#

i thought you're gonna use the h115i

runic flare
runic flare
obsidian wigeon
#

can you just explain what you're about to do?

small tinsel
#

@obsidian wigeon your talking to me right?

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

odd meteor
small tinsel
#

@obsidian wigeon so pretty much I was just gonna upgrade my pc but yall telling me pretty much all my parts need upgraded. Only thing yall havnt said needs an upgrade is the cpu cooler LOL. Is my current one (h115i) gonna do the job good? Or should I leave that in my old pc and get a new one as well?

obsidian wigeon
#

It'll do it fine

small tinsel
#

@obsidian wigeon okee, will my old cpu run okay without a cooler with a 1080 or should I get a cheaper cooler to throw on it?

obsidian wigeon
#

Yah, you need a cooler once you move that into new build

#

I've suggested a cheap air cooler for that

#

Gonna keep your old cpu run cool

small tinsel
obsidian wigeon
#

hyper 212, meh

small tinsel
#

what do you recommend?

obsidian wigeon
#

lemme get you the one id recommend

#

get this, cheaper and better

#

212 is ancient

small tinsel
#

oh LOL
It was on the best selling list

#

That list lieeesss to meh 💩

obsidian wigeon
#

well best selling is best selling

#

the one people keeps buyin

#

this cooler has been released since 2009 btw

small tinsel
#

wow long time

#

radiator fans can be replaced with different fans right?

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah, i think

#

just make sure they're same size as ones on the cooler

#

i meant rad

small tinsel
obsidian wigeon
#

that's expensive, lemme find cheaper ones

#

popular but expensive xD

small tinsel
#

🥲

#

yeahhhhhh.

#

ill see how the pc fits before I buy em.. LOL

#

I dont wanna spend 250 in fans

obsidian wigeon
#

you can get two of these

#

wait the fans are 140mm?

#

huh

small tinsel
#

hu?

#

it says 120 on the link you just sent

obsidian wigeon
#

the ones i showed are 120mm

#

doesn't fit with your radiator

small tinsel
#

oh is my cpu radiator 140? I hadnt looked it up yet

obsidian wigeon
#

it uses two 140mm fans

#

so it's 280

small tinsel
#

my gpu radiator is 120 I believe

#

yeah just looked. your right, them cpu fans are big bois

obsidian wigeon
#

which model of 3080ti did you get?

#

just wondering

#

cause if it's just plain air cooled you won't have to worry about the fans

small tinsel
#

its a hybrid

obsidian wigeon
#

damn

small tinsel
#

so I have two big ol radiators in my pc takin up space XD

small tinsel
obsidian wigeon
#

looks like 240

#

nah im just surprised

#

you have something nice

small tinsel
#

yeah 240, 120 fan size

obsidian wigeon
#

why do you want to change the fans on the cpu cooler exactly?

#

are they getting old or

small tinsel
#

just looks. Like if I wanted a black and white build, would be cool to put white fans on it

obsidian wigeon
#

ah

#

do you want to retain rgb?

#

cause the 140mm fans with rgb are kinda expensive lel

#

the ones i could find that is

small tinsel
#

I ordered the 5000d case. Then I can put that second radiator on the side wall and still have the front for asthetic fans.

#

BIG RIP.... I mean luckily I only need 2

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah

#

you can probably put the gpu's cooler on top

#

then cpu on the side or front

small tinsel
#

I wouldnt want to put it on the front since your just gonna see the back side of a radiator if I do that XD

obsidian wigeon
#

well putting it on top would be best for your setup it seems

#

also ye lol

small tinsel
#

technically they are both suppose to go on top but aint no case 4 fans long 😆

#

so yeah one has to go on the side

obsidian wigeon
#

well they're not rgb but they're white

#

if you're willing to shell out rgb+white i can show you

#

but i myself would suggest keeping aio fans stock, saves money that way lel

small tinsel
#

LOL

#

yeah Ill hold off on that.

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah, the price makes me cry

#

might as well get new aio that's white at that point lmao

small tinsel
#

yeah 🥲

obsidian wigeon
#

but at least for case fans

#

they'll be cheap

#

arctic does have 5 pack for 140mm fans

#

not white ones tho apparently, black

#

p14 or f14, doesn't matter

#

they work equally well

small tinsel
#

so maybe you know
😄 awesome

#

can you fit a radiator on the side of the 5000D while also having fans on the front? I cant find a photo of a radiator on the side to be able to tell.

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

#

you definitely should

#

the case has cutout for the aio to sit in the side

#

shouldn't be a problem as it's in there to the side

small tinsel
#

Okay. All I see is photos of fans on the side so I wasnt sure if it was deep enough

#

cause the radiator doubles the thickness practically

obsidian wigeon
#

mhm, that's why it's deep in there

small tinsel
#

and btw. yall call 5000D the big one. This is the size of my current case. I cant imagine what the 4000D is. It must be smol

small tinsel
obsidian wigeon
#

wait

#

it's not that deep, my bad

#

only fits the fans on the side with rad on front, shame

small tinsel
#

Really? 😮

obsidian wigeon
#

yeeeeeah

#

just looked at pics

#

i assume it'd hit the fans if you put the radiator on the side

small tinsel
#

I really cant tell

#

it kinda looks like there might be room?

obsidian wigeon
#

maybe

#

you can try if you actually get the case

#

it does have a fan on front

#

like one black one

small tinsel
#

I already ordered the case XD I hope it works LOL

obsidian wigeon
#

if it doesn't ya can either refund or do with it

small tinsel
#

yeah Ill return it if it doesnt work. I dont want to see the back of the radiator on the front of my case. Thats just wrong. 😮

obsidian wigeon
#

mhm

#

i think if the case doesn't work out for ya

#

i have another suggestion, altho more expensive lel

#

what's the price of 5000d ya ordered?

#

on newegg lian li O11 dynamic is about 149

small tinsel
#

159

obsidian wigeon
#

mhm

#

yeah oops

#

i forgot about this case the whole time lmao

#

sorry for the time you could waste with this

small tinsel
#

LOL tis okay

small tinsel
#

thats a cool case

obsidian wigeon
#

should fit your stuff

small tinsel
#

its a smol case :3

obsidian wigeon
#

you could mount fans and stuff on side, top or bottom

#

but for radiators, i suggest you place em on the side and top

#

rad on bottom is nono

#

it'll kill the aio faster

#

also the case is actually big, looks on it are deceiving haha

small tinsel
#

is the power supply in the back?

obsidian wigeon
#

it's in the other side of the case

#

hidden behind motherboard

#

you can see it in this vid

#

it's basically as tall as mid towers, but wide

small tinsel
#

😮

#

how many drive spots does it have? I dont see any in the video

obsidian wigeon
#

It can mount many drives if you don't put on the side fans

#

However it does have a bay on the side, behind the mobo again

#

You access thru the back

#

Right above the psu

#

There should be bay cover on the rear of the case

small tinsel
#

ahhh okay

obsidian wigeon
#

it can be pulled out btw

#

for two psus lmao

small tinsel
#

lolll

#

There is a dynamic and a dynamic XL 😮

obsidian wigeon
#

ya

#

well here's the vid that explains everything

#

that the review missed

#

designed by der8auer, pretty well known extreme overclocker

small tinsel
#

that was a good video

potent portal
#

Most people don't use that case for 3.5" mechanical drives. Most users these days have M.2 as a main drive (possibly a secondary as well) and 2.5" drives for other storage.

obsidian wigeon
#

it could still fit 3.5" tho

#

the bay in the back

potent portal
#

It could but it's more of an afterthought imo

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah true, least it supports that at least lmao

serene pulsar
#

Lian Li XL Dynamic is best case in market for big builds

small tinsel
#

I wish when they release smaller and bigger versions of things, that they would make a size comarison video o-o

serene pulsar
#

Hands down

obsidian wigeon
#

there's the mini

serene pulsar
#

Huge rgb flashes or fan spaces for cooling

#

So much customizability

obsidian wigeon
#

but mini only takes sfx and sfx-l psus

#

sfx psus are expensive compared to atx ones

potent portal
#

I don't know about "best" but it's the most common for liquid cooling builds because it's got plenty of decent features at a reasonable price.

valid trout
#

where do i go to ask for building/setting up help?

obsidian wigeon
#

here

potent portal
#

Here works

tight sorrel
#

@terse tiger your build is amazing! ruined by the under desk cable management.

serene pulsar
#

Well I mean there is no one best case of course cause everyone has their own preferences

#

Just one of my favorite ones even though I still haven’t built a pc

obsidian wigeon
#

why'd i not recommend the o11d to em before ree

brittle island
#

Does an matx mobo fit inside an atx case?

obsidian wigeon
#

didn't know their 3080ti is a duckin hybrid lol

potent portal
serene pulsar
#

Yeah

obsidian wigeon
#

they can even fit itx

potent portal
#

Ehhh usually

serene pulsar

Some but depends on size

valid trout
#

What should i do if i cant download drivers nor access the internet? cause the drivers they gave me came as a disc and my pc dont have a disk reader

obsidian wigeon

#

you need a usb drive and other machine that could download stuff to the usb drive

#

then slap it on the pc and install drivers

@obsidian wigeon ❣️ is there a recommendation for thermal paste?

tight sorrel
#

😆 got jokes. But trully, everything on TOP of your desk is chefs kiss

terse tiger
obsidian wigeon
#

mx-4 is the easiest one to apply, also cheapest

#

kryonaut is harder to apply but is the best paste that's non conductive

#

gd extreme is even harder but better iirc?

small tinsel
#

Define hard to apply. I've never applied thermal paste before, it was preapplied when I got my cooler

obsidian wigeon
#

well

#

it's like harder to spread

#

thicker, should i say

small tinsel
#

Ohhh

obsidian wigeon
#

but those shouldn't be so hard lel

#

gd extreme is the kinda difficult one

#

mx4 is like a piece of cake

small tinsel
#

So probably get the grizzly?

brave hound
#

Hey there

#

People

obsidian wigeon
#

up to ya

#

they perform basically like 1-2c apart

#

but mx4 is somewhat cheaper

small tinsel
#

Thanks foxy! I'll take a look!

brave hound
#

Do you think a GTX 1650 SUPER + 16 GIGS RAM + i5 10400f be good for $1060?

obsidian wigeon
#

nah

#

that's bad

brave hound
#

With all the other components included?

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

brave hound
#

Is it bad or good (all components = $1060)

obsidian wigeon
#

get this instead

#

about 100 more but worth every bucks

as i have been fairly long out the system of pc building and now looking for an upgrade, was wondering if this was lacking something obvious i need or just a dumb mistake i might attempt by not picking the "obvious better option"

obsidian wigeon
#

Also I'd suggest an AIO instead

#

It'd be better for the chip

fossil cedar
obsidian wigeon
#

^

tacit plaza

#

But thing is if i go for a AIO i'll probably need to change cases ://

fossil cedar
fossil cedar

fossil cedar
#

Ohh right

tacit plaza
#

fractial design black pearl r5

#

but have drives and such still in it

fossil cedar
#

I would not put more than an i5 10400 cpu in that case lol

#

You will want to change cases

#

To something with airflow

#

In order of preference, p500a digital/lian li lancool mesh ii/215, p500a/corsair 5000d airflow, p400a digital, p400a/Corsair 4000d airflow I'd go with one of these

tacit plaza
fossil cedar
tacit plaza
#

I’ll look into the cases later on

#

Yea fair

fossil cedar
#

Do you need x570 for any specific reason btw ?@tacit plaza

#

Cuz otherwise b550 is a better choice

obsidian wigeon
#

^

frank stirrup
tacit plaza
#

and what RAWR said ofc

#

Don't feel like doing a big upgrade to instantly bottleneck myself with a simple downgrade

fossil cedar
#

I wouldn't recommend something worse

tacit plaza
#

Thought they wouldn't allow it to boost as high as x570

real flicker
#

I've got the lian Li mesh 2 performance it's a very good case great thermals quite big for a mid tower lots of room

tacit plaza
#

@fossil cedar where did u read about b550 mobos being better for a 5950x as i read that x570 is better

stoic island
#

where did you read that

#

what can the x570 chipset do for a 5950x?

#

the chipset aren't that different

#

chipset lanes being gen 3 vs gen 4 doesn't exactly matter

#

better VRMs on a specific b550 board will make it better than x570 boards for a 5950

tacit plaza
stoic island
#

haha

#

chipset doesn't affect that

#

a b550 board can definitely have better VRMs than a x570 board

fossil cedar
#

A lot of good b550s will be just as good if not better than am x570

#

And no chipset fan to worry about failing

stoic island
#

especially when you have x570 boards that'll just hit 130c on vrms

stoic island
fossil cedar
#

Yes

#

I was just editing that lol

stoic island
#

every board is different

tacit plaza
stoic island
#

and when b550 boards offer better vrms than low end x570 boards for cheaper

#

kinda no brainer

tacit plaza
#

but the picture u show has the board i put on the list, and it scored 60c

#

wait no thats -F not -E

stoic island
#

grab like an aorus pro ax for like 150 euros

tacit plaza
#

ye 259 i think

stoic island
#

and you get practically the same performance

fossil cedar
#

Or you could get the gaming edge wifi or rog gaming f b550 for 160

stoic island
#

spend that money on a better cooler

#

perhaps a case upgrade is necessary

fossil cedar
#

Actually arctic liquid ii 360 is only like 20 more anyway

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

but then grab like a freezer ii 360mm

tacit plaza
#

xd

stoic island
#

ye, use that 100 euros saved for like a td500 mesh

stoic island
fossil cedar
#

Or p500a or something

stoic island
#

:p

tacit plaza
#

why would someone get a 5950x and then try and go budget

stoic island
#

go budget?

fossil cedar
#

What?

#

It's not

stoic island
#

aorus pro ax can literally be considered to have better VRMs than x570-e

fossil cedar
#

More money not = more better

tacit plaza
fossil cedar
#

Basically

tight sorrel
stoic island
stoic island
#

but yea anyways

tacit plaza
stoic island
#

over a x570-e, yes, saves you money for basically same performance

tacit plaza
#

Alright i'll check in it later tonight when i have some time

#

And will have to check dimentions in my current case and what not and if i can be arsed to fit a AIO in it

stoic island
#

what case is it

#

might as well upgrade the case if it can't fit like a 360 rad :p

tacit plaza
#

Fractial design define r5

stoic island
#

surprisingly supports 360mm top

#

even up to 420mm maybe

#

might need to remove optical drive bay tho

tight sorrel
#

get an X570 if you want to run 2 or more PCIe 4 NVMe drives

tacit plaza

yo i got a question... does a RM850X fit in the o11 mini ?

stoic island
#

either way

worn wave
#

No, it requires a SFX PSU

stoic island
#

b550 still supports a pcie 4.0 m.2 drive

tight sorrel
#

I think the mini only supports SFX PSUs

stoic island
#

and b550 supports pcie 3.0 in all other slots

#

and pcie is backwards compatible

tight sorrel
#

yup, only SFX

ufff well any recommendations for a good SFX power supply that is like 750 wat and 80+ gold rated that aint gonna break the bank....

maybe later

@stoic island but if u have time make a pcpartpickerlist edit for me (like swap the mobo and cooler for what you would advice)
