You can do 1080 240hz or 1440 120hz

[earnest olive]

it confuses me why people say things like "omg 3070 is a 1440p card"

1080p is perfect for 3070 if you want to play with rtx on and/or ultra settings

[hearty pumice]

Ultra settings dumb in sum game

[earnest olive]

i usually just game at high but some people just want to max it out

like.. if you mainly play flight sim

[hearty pumice]

I know, its still dumb

[potent portal]

Depends on what you play, ultra is not great for esports but cinematic stuff like assassins creed looks gorgeous

[earnest olive]

1080p with a 3070 is good

[vale epoch]

What about 3060 mobile?

[earnest olive]

3060M should definitely be 1080p strictly lol

1440p is not gonna be a good time

also, 1440p is kinda just dumb on laptops

can you really tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p on a small laptop screen

[hearty pumice]

True, i play alot of shooter, but planing go get fh5 when it releases and playing the crew 2 at ultra cause i can.

[earnest olive]

i couldn't tell between 1080p and 4K on a 15" laptop screen

[potent portal]

I know I can't tell

[vale epoch]

I remember seeing a 2k laptop with a 3060 somewhere lol

[potent portal]

I'm sure it exists, it's just not a great idea in most cases

[vale epoch]

What about a 17inch screen

[earnest olive]

i run my phone at 720p for battery life, can't tell the difference between 720p and 1440p on it

[potent portal]

same

[vale epoch]

Ic so the msi ge76 I found is pretty good

[potent portal]

1440p you can start to tell the difference between 27 and 32 inches usually

[hearty pumice]

I can only tell it in games

[earnest olive]

i don't play games on my phone

but even if i did i prob would have to stare really closely to tell any difference

and that's just not how i use my phone lol

[vale epoch]

Alright thats on my list now still gonna check out some other laptops at microcenter the day after tomorrow

[hearty pumice]

I mean i have a s21 ultra so idk

[mystic needle]

how do u tell apart a hard drive and ssd in files on windows

[hearty pumice]

Label them.

[mystic needle]

i barely set them up

[frank stirrup]

task manager

[earnest olive]

are they the same size?

[mystic needle]

one said disk 0 the other said disk 1 they are the same size

[vale epoch]

I- am- a 11pro max owner

[mystic needle]

oooooh

[potent portal]

Click it

It says on the bottom

[frank stirrup]

look what drive letter is marked with ssd and which is hdd

@mystic needle

[mystic needle]

alright thanks!

[frank stirrup]

Yep no problem!

[mystic needle]

quick question how do i change the letters without messing anything up

i went to disk management and pressed to change the letter and it says that some programs that rely on letters might not work correctly

will it be fine since it’s a fresh drive?

[frank stirrup]

if it has no data on it its fine

[mystic needle]

alright cool thanks again 👍

[earnest olive]

240 aio on a 2200g

[analog pulsar]

this is my friend current specs

[earnest olive]

why lmao

[analog pulsar]

why what

[earnest olive]

why a 240mm aio on a 2200g

[analog pulsar]

OC brrrrr

[earnest olive]

could've used that budget to get 16gb ram

[analog pulsar]

idk

i can look at other pcs

no ssd sad

just trying to find a cheap upgrade to what they have now

trying to find something cheap we can upgrade in future

[potent portal]

$430 is almost what that rx580 alone is going for

Even if it is the 4gb model

[analog pulsar]

well yea they arnt scapling most computers on market arnt scalped

if its gpu alone its scaled

but if computer is fully buildnt most prices are okay

[wheat zinc]

How are the pc part prices right I’ve they gone down any im waiting till prices get better or build

[potent portal]

Mostly fine except for GPUs. Those are still insane.

[wheat zinc]

Damn so I’ll have to wait longer I’ve been wanting for 3 years and I was going to buy before the prices went up but my money needed to go to something more important now prices are way to much

[potent portal]

Best estimates we have for when things get back to "normal" is 2023-2024, unless something else happens before then like a massive drop in demand.

Might help find a GPU #graphics-cards message

Embed fail, thanks discord. You get the idea.

[earnest olive]

i don't understand the embed fail meme

someone explain i am boomer

[potent portal]

What, the meme that failed to embed or the fact that it failed to embed?

[earnest olive]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-ballin-mars-bars-gif-19910027

is this just gen z humor

[potent portal]

Pretty much that yeah

Kinda like it's making fun of the program for failing

[frank stirrup]

11400

[clever eagle]

a

[frank stirrup]

nah

11400

[clever eagle]

is it that good

[wheat zinc]

So I’ll probably won’t get one for years I plan on going to military it’s hard bringing something like that when you move around to place to place

[potent portal]

Yes it can be difficult. Maybe a laptop in that case?

[potent portal]

11400 is on par with 5600X

[wheat zinc]

Yea I’ll probably have to do that how are the prebuilts in this instants are they up in price?

[potent portal]

Prebuilts are quite inflated, laptops too. What budget are you working with?

[frank stirrup]

its like 1-2% worse than an 11600

for a lot less money

like a LOT less money

11600 is like 225

[wheat zinc]

I was hoping for no more than 600 500 is perfect but I’ll pay 600 for a good one I have a gaming monitor already I just need keyboard and mouse and the pc I use the monitor for my Xbox

[frank stirrup]

11400 is 180

[potent portal]

It'll be really hard to find anything you can game on for under 600

[covert vapor]

When the 11400 is in stock from normal vendors that is, otherwise it gets jacked up to about 280-300 USD

[wheat zinc]

That’s what I thought how was a $600 pc before the prices went up?

[frank stirrup]

second hand parts

depends on luck

[clever eagle]

deader

[chilly prism]

well I wanted to post pics of my recent project but apparently I can't post pics 😕

[potent portal]

It's part of the anti bot and spam measures, you have to wait until your name turns green

[little osprey]

Is this a good computer?

[potent portal]

Chat in general for a bit or something, it doesn't take long

[little osprey]

Well okay then

[potent portal]

Same goes for links lol

Avoid Alienware like the plague

[little osprey]

So I have to level up b4 I can send the link?

Why?

[potent portal]

It's owned by Dell, and the build quality is beyond garbage with very few parts actually usable or upgradeable

[little osprey]

I’m not planning on upgrading it

[potent portal]

I've seen an Alienware computer have a 10400f throttle, and that's a low power processor

[covert vapor]

Well, replacing something that is broken is very hard, usually have to go through Dell/Alienware themselves to get a new one rather than just buying any old part

[potent portal]

https://youtu.be/8ulhFi5N2hc

[little osprey]

I finished my first build and it works! I'm a real computer nerd now!

[little osprey]

And how much that cost?

@little osprey

[clever eagle]

lol

[little osprey]

I think a total of $1,479. This doesn't include my ancient 1060 I'm using until I get a 3080

Pre-built woulda cost $3600+. I don't know why people think they're a good deal right now. If I bought a scalped gpu and paid for assembly it would still be cheaper to build

I've pc gamed for years on pcs others built for me. This time I took the time to research, ask questions, learn the parts, choose and buy them and even build it on my own

[clever eagle]

ok

what specs

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HgKHXb

[clever eagle]

that seems good

[little osprey]

Thanks. Will be really good when I get a 3080

I have a sealed 3070 I'm gonna try to trade up for one

Some prebuilds are kinda good, but not all of them.

And depending on how much time u want to spend on just getting all the pc parts ( depending on where u live )

they just seem to be much more expensive than doing it yourself, even paying someone to put the parts together. you can order everything online and shop for prices

Why does it always say that the mother board supports the cpu but if it’s using an older bio or whatever that it’ll need to be updated?

i think that's some stupid disclaimer

it won't work without an update but it will be fine

Depending on the prebuild, my friend got a nice prebuild at around 2.1k ish

I think I might steal your build @little osprey 👀😂

I’ve never had the chance to get a good gaming pc so I’ve never bothered really to learn how to build one

What is a good gaming pc tho

One that runs 😐

There are alot of factors.

[little osprey]

That's 250$

Nah im just playing

xD

I swear my phpne keyboard hates me, it swapped to my font keyboard

( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)

Smh

Yeah it’s stupid sometimes

I mean a "good" gaming pc is around 1k

Though then it's hard to gather parts

I just wanna steal somebody’s parts and just build the same one as them 😂 but like upgrade the parts on it to be more up to date

I'm too lazy for this trick, but u can subscribe to most of the tech channels and just enter every giveaway

[urban quest]

Hey will my a320m - a pro fit in an nzxt h200?

[little osprey]

Google knows everything

[urban quest]

I googled it and got a ton of different answers

[sacred gale]

You guys mind if I get some help?

[little osprey]

@urban quest

Is this what you talking about?

[sacred gale]

I want to buy a custom pc but I'm at a halt between where to buy, how my pc will preform and people who have pcs and their opinions

[urban quest]

No its matx rip

I found a used case for cheap and hoped my stuff fits

[sacred gale]

,_,

[little osprey]

Tbh, there's ton of information about this on YouTube.

@urban quest is the motherboard you talking about micro atx?

[urban quest]

Yes

[sacred gale]

I've been on YouTube for about a week. I haven't learned jack other than what's parts do what things

[little osprey]

Okay

[little osprey]

In 1 week you could've of learned every aspect of them

[urban quest]

I wouldn't buy a pc in the market we are in now imo

Top one

[little osprey]

You said it’s a h200 right? Is that the case chosen or is it a different one?

[sacred gale]

Well I haven't, and I thought this was supposed to be about helping?I just started and I was wondering if my build at the minimum looks good. But nevermind

[urban quest]

What's your build?

[little osprey]

What's your build

[little osprey]

Just steal a build from someone that has about the same budget cost and ask them if you can copy theirs

That’s what I’m planning on doing

[sacred gale]

Okay so this is what I've gathered :
I'm on the nzxt website designing a custom but this is what I have.
Nzxt H710 case
Nzxt kraken x63 (fan)
ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming WIFI(motherboard)
NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX™ 3060 TI - MSI VENTUS 2X OCV1 LHR
Intel Core i7-10700K 8-Core 3.8GHz
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W G5 Gold(powersupply)
Team T-FORCE XTREEM ARGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 4000MHz(Ram)
And I need to find another storage thingy
I had copied this from the last people I asked and they told me that this discord could help me look for what I wanted in a pc

[little osprey]

Why would you need to ask if u could copy someone's build?

[urban quest]

Yea I don't reccomend designing your own pc unless you have proper knowledge of parts

Lmao right

[little osprey]

Bruh how much does that setup cost

Looks around 2k ish

[urban quest]

Frfr

[little osprey]

Well to be nice I guess 😂

[sacred gale]

2.8

[little osprey]

Bruh

[urban quest]

Damnnn Richie rich

[sacred gale]

Budget isn't really a problem

[little osprey]

True -. -

[little osprey]

I could get that right now and I’m not rich 😐

[sacred gale]

I have a really good job and I have no responsibilities at 18 so...

[little osprey]

I mean throwing that money in pc

[urban quest]

Then just buy all top end parts most are in stock low end parts and in high demand and are hard to find from what I've seen

[sacred gale]

I just wanted to know what you guys would do

[urban quest]

Go watch linus tech tip builds

[little osprey]

I just want to stay around the $2k ish side

[little osprey]

Just search on yt "best 3k gaming setups"

[urban quest]

And copy one u like

[sacred gale]

Where would I buy it from?

Cause I have no idea how to put it together.

[little osprey]

World Wide Web

Since I alr got the Asus strix 2080 super and g. Skill Trident neo 32x2gb ram it only will take me 1.4k for my setup

[urban quest]

It's easier than you think to build a computer

[little osprey]

It isn't hard if u got no worries for budget.

[sacred gale]

Maybe

[urban quest]

I watched like 3 vids and learned everything

[little osprey]

Same

[little osprey]

Unless you don’t know about stuff not being compatible or not

[urban quest]

LMAO

[sacred gale]

Bingo.

[urban quest]

Yup

[little osprey]

Bruh it's not that hard.

Just search on yt

[urban quest]

Use pcpartpicker for compatibility

[little osprey]

If Z590-a pro is compatible with i5-11600k etc.

That kind of questions

[little osprey]

Also yes ^^

I thought you could just get any part and any case or whatever at first until I learned about compatibility and size issues

lmao

Legit I got smacked in the face on the first video I watched about tech

[urban quest]

About my case? Will it for or will I have to drill my own holes lol

Fit*

[little osprey]

"compatibility" like what is that

I’m pretty sure it’ll fit if I found the right case on part picker

[sacred gale]

What about cooling I get the cpu the gpu power supply and what not but I have no idea about cooling especially since my build has a i7

[urban quest]

The guy said they don't make them anymore idk if he's lying but it's a 25 dollar gamble I'm willing to take

[little osprey]

Bruh all that info is easily found on YouTube

[little osprey]

About this I mean

[urban quest]

If your that worried and have alot of money pay a local tech repair shop and have them build it

[sacred gale]

Back to research I suppose

[little osprey]

I've always had a good gaming pc because others built it for me. I knew it was good but couldn't tell you how or why. Now that I did research i got what I gathered to basically be the best I could get that's worth getting. I'm not opposed to copying my pc but I recommend learning it too

[sacred gale]

But can anyone give me an opinion on my build for now so j can see what I can go off?

[little osprey]

Just type logical questions on YouTube

[little osprey]

Oh ima just steal yours 👀

😂

lol

[urban quest]

I reccomend ethernet if u don't have fast wifi

[little osprey]

But I did change the ryzen 9 out for a ryzen 7 5800x just to get a 3060

Tbh when I got myself my g. Skill Trident ram sticks I though they're slow

But apparently 4000mhz is fast

My WiFi router is in the kitchen

[little osprey]

Someone gifted me them

[urban quest]

They make 500ft ethernet

[little osprey]

My mom would kill me if I start raging in the kitchen 😂

Lmao

"Try not to rage" available on steam from 26th of September

Me: buys it just to make my mom mad

Horror, single-player

[urban quest]

Looks good to me, where are you going to get the 3060 lol

[little osprey]

3060 in my country is 827€

In stock

[sacred gale]

On the website is says it's in stocks but I might go for the 2080ti since I want 4k gaming.

[little osprey]

What monitor u going for?

[urban quest]

This is your first pc?

[little osprey]

If u want 4k gaming

4k gaming is like around 500€ in my country for monitors

1440p is alr 300€+ xD

[sacred gale]

Yeah I'm getting a new moniter

[little osprey]

Whitch one?

[sacred gale]

Not sure tbh, suggestions?

[sacred gale]

Yes.

[little osprey]

not really, I gave up on 4k,cause in my country it's just aids

Not paying 500 euros for that

[urban quest]

Your lucky bro I still have a 1060 6gb and I have a good job

[earnest olive]

why such an unbalanced build

[sacred gale]

I just got a promotion and our max payroll pay was just lowered so it's easier to reach

[earnest olive]

going anything higher than i5-10400 for a 3060 doesn't make sense

no reason to pair a $450 cpu with a 3060

could have just done 5600x 3070 instead at that point

[urban quest]

I make 1500 a week but high rent and everything that I'm obligated to buy leaves me with like 300 at the end of the week

[earnest olive]

3070 is like 50% stronger than 3060

[urban quest]

Month*

[sacred gale]

I make around 8-900 a week I live with my sister and her husband for 350 a month and that literally all my bills. I've been saving 200-300 a week for 2 months

Small town low responsibilities just turned 18

[urban quest]

That's great ur in a good situation, take advantage of it while you still can

[sacred gale]

I know I very great full for what I have

[urban quest]

Well definitely keep doing some research and if your still confused by the time your ready to buy recommend buying pre build if ur budget is like 2.5 to 3 you'll get what your looking for just don't get ripped off do some research on part cost in pre builds and find the best deal

[little osprey]

Okay then build me a balanced computer for $2k, I’ve already stated multiple times the other days that I know nothing about pc building and even today

[urban quest]

3080ti!?!?!

[sacred gale]

I am very confident on my built mostly because I did all the research on what I have the only thing I'm hesitant on is the cooling

[earnest olive]

my 2k build has a 5800x 3080 in it lol

anyways avoid the 3060

2k budget is much too high to be looking at a 3060

[little osprey]

Just build me one

[sacred gale]

I'm switching my 3060 to a 3080ti and i need a new storage

[earnest olive]

3060 is the black sheep of this generation

3060ti = 2080S
3060 = 2060S

[urban quest]

Bruh I wish my rent was 350 lol

[sacred gale]

Sorry >.>

[little osprey]

Bro ima just ignore you if you keep saying nerdy stuff

[urban quest]

I'd be buying a 3080ti too

[earnest olive]

get a 3070 first

no point making a part list until you have a card

also

you're in a server dedicated to "nerdy stuff"

[little osprey]

Make one for me

[earnest olive]

and in a channel of the server even more dedicated to "nerdy stuff"

[urban quest]

Gtx 1060 6gb superior to all thoes cards, change my mind

[earnest olive]

if you don't want to hear "nerdy stuff" why are you even here

buy a prebuilt and be done with it

[little osprey]

I said make one for me

[earnest olive]

.

[urban quest]

Don't say that don't make him get ripped off

[sacred gale]

@earnest olive could I get your opinion?

[earnest olive]

some prebuilts have been quite good lately

[sacred gale]

Love your name btw.

[earnest olive]

sure

thanks orange mushroom is the best

[urban quest]

Reeled lemme see if I can find some of my old builds

[sacred gale]

Absolutely 💯

[little osprey]

Lies, everything I’ve showed was talked down in every way possible even the good ones I’ve found

[frank stirrup]

Leave the server then.

[earnest olive]

then the ones you found weren't good

we literally help people find prebuilts all the time

not everyone wants to build a pc and that's okay

[frank stirrup]

Then they werent good lmao

[little osprey]

Yes they were

[frank stirrup]

Nope

[little osprey]

Yes

[earnest olive]

by what standards

[frank stirrup]

They werent

[little osprey]

Yes they were

[sacred gale]

This but replace the 3060 with a 3080ti and don't worry about budget but if you think it'll help it'll be about 3,400

[frank stirrup]

Dumpster diving

[earnest olive]

my opinion is that you should avoid nzxt

if you want to upgrade a prebuilt

there are better options

[sacred gale]

It's a custom the prebuilts they had were for 1440 or 1080p I was looking more towards 4k or are you meaning the website in of itself?

[frank stirrup]

I love orange mushroom

[frank stirrup]

NZXT products in general

[earnest olive]

custom prebuilt is still a prebuilt

[sacred gale]

:(

[earnest olive]

but yes nzxt is not great

[sacred gale]

What would be a good place to get my sleep build then?

[formal girder]

If you were to go with a prebuilt newegg has a great lineup with ABS and some reasonable prices with great performance to fit most budgets

[sacred gale]

Same*

Ah

[earnest olive]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali555/p/N82E16883360185

here's a pretty good deal

[formal girder]

Honestly if i didnt build mine i wouldve done abs

[earnest olive]

already has a 3080 in it

way below your budget

actually decent case and cooler (very rare for a prebuilt)

[formal girder]

^^

[earnest olive]

full mesh and 240mm aio is solid

[formal girder]

And its on sale

[sacred gale]

I'll look into it I really just want it to be able to push a good fps and 4k graphics, Ray tracing is a bit far for me personally

[earnest olive]

3080 is a great 4k card

[sacred gale]

I don't need to look at a Wal and see atoms

[earnest olive]

lol I have tried ray tracing on my 3080

I can only notice it if I'm staring at side by side screenshots

if I'm actually... you know, playing the game

I do not see a difference in any game so far

performance is there though

been able to push 100 fps in AAA games at 1440p high with rtx on

I can't realistically tell the difference between 100 and 150 without an fps counter thanks to freesync

[sacred gale]

Well new games are coming out and personally can't wait for halo infinite with the beautiful graphics I'll be able to push with a 3080

[earnest olive]

yeah

I'd just buy the prebuilt I linked you

[sacred gale]

But 100 fps ..

[earnest olive]

and you don't need to upgrade

[formal girder]

3080 will do wonderful on those titles along with that I7

[earnest olive]

cause already 3080

well I'm at 1440p, at 4k it would be closer to 60 fps

[sacred gale]

Where do you see Ram/storage?

[analog pulsar]

i literately have a nzxt product and its great...temp for cpu is uh meh like 85C but gpu stays cold

[formal girder]

There is 16gbs of 3200mhz ram

[earnest olive]

it's in the title

[formal girder]

Slightly overpriced as well tho

[earnest olive]

16gb 3200mhz ram, 1tb pretty good nvme ssd

[frank stirrup]

You got it for free

[sacred gale]

Wait yeah my bad I'm dumb

[earnest olive]

kenzie

[frank stirrup]

Thats infinite price to perf

Its not worth paying for

[earnest olive]

go ahead and try overclocking in your nzxt case

I dare you

[formal girder]

Lol

[analog pulsar]

yea i talked to the mods they also said starter series is not worth it

[analog pulsar]

OKAY WATCH ME

[earnest olive]

I pinned a liquid cooled 6 core at medium voltage to 100C instantly in that h510

have fun

[formal girder]

Oh no

[earnest olive]

CPU oc

not GPU oc

[analog pulsar]

no gpu bad

[earnest olive]

CPU is what really suffers in nzxt cases

[formal girder]

This finna be like that california gender reveal all over again

[analog pulsar]

cpu is 85C

[earnest olive]

85C at stock?

[analog pulsar]

but its 5.0ghz

[earnest olive]

in what workload

run prime95 small ffts avx512 and see if it's still 85c

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive ummm idk i dont remeber

[frank stirrup]

idle

[earnest olive]

10600K @ 1.325V was hitting 100C in under 1 second in small ffts avx2

[analog pulsar]

no

[earnest olive]

with 240mm aio

[earnest olive]

[formal girder]

My cpu never goes above 70°C with 100% load and 4.9ghz on all cores for over 4 hrs

[sacred gale]

I am going to look more on abs for a prebuilt but thanks for the help guys, I'll be back!

[earnest olive]

have fun

0C pog

[analog pulsar]

LOl

[earnest olive]

kenzie is subambient overclocker confirmed

[earnest olive]

run prime95 small ffts avx512

100C time

[analog pulsar]

i use OCCT

[formal girder]

Forget kenzies thermal throttle it finna thermal shut down

[analog pulsar]

[earnest olive]

more like thermal chernobyl

[analog pulsar]

BOI

[formal girder]

Lol

[analog pulsar]

CHILL

@earnest olive well my cpu pulls 200 watts no wonder its hot

[formal girder]

I smell something cooking oh wait thats just NZXT builds

[analog pulsar]

boi

[earnest olive]

if it's pulling 200w you're not pushing it hard enough

[analog pulsar]

CPU

[earnest olive]

it's not that hard to push 11900k to 400w

[analog pulsar]

MY PC WOULD SHUT DOWN FROM LACK OF POWER

[formal girder]

Imagine

[earnest olive]

I even pushed 10600K to 265W

[analog pulsar]

sheeeesh

[formal girder]

Not having a psu strong enough ha comedy

[earnest olive]

10700K 330W

[formal girder]

I wonder what i can push this 11600k to

[analog pulsar]

well i have 850 watts

[formal girder]

Rip

Swap that for a 1000w

Cause dont ya have a 3090

[little osprey]

Why are nzxt builds bad?

[urban quest]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Lol prolly trash just threw together

[formal girder]

Over heatings with bad case airflows, poor aios, overpriced and simply not worth it

[analog pulsar]

my power only is 350

i got a semi bad 3090

[formal girder]

Until it power spikes

[analog pulsar]

i can only do a 5% power increase

[formal girder]

Rip i can do i think either 10% or 15%

[analog pulsar]

lol

[formal girder]

But thats with firestorm software i have to try with afterburner

[analog pulsar]

awe im using X1

[earnest olive]

push it harder

it's not sweating enough

[analog pulsar]

[formal girder]

Ive used afterburner before so i can use it

[analog pulsar]

okay should i apply @earnest olive

[little osprey]

I think it’s showing the list I have made

[formal girder]

Ya tryna burn down the house?

[earnest olive]

upping voltage doesn't do anything

[urban quest]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ltzfqp

[earnest olive]

all it does is unlock more voltage states

which get power limited anyways

[urban quest]

Did that work?

[formal girder]

Oof no ssd and no gpu rip

[little osprey]

No video card?

[earnest olive]

@formal girder I'm on my phone fill out the build chat bingo for me

[urban quest]

I'm not putting in a gpu on a part picker list bc they are way too much

[earnest olive]

that one might be a bingo lol

[urban quest]

Find a good deal

[formal girder]

Lol im on mobile too

Im at work rn actually

[formal girder]

Well better yet whats your budget

[urban quest]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qhhkxc

I'm building a random thing for him bc he was demanding someone build him a pc

[analog pulsar]

what if i keep upping

[formal girder]

Just slap a gtx 1030 and a little maxtor 246gb ssd and call it a day lol

[little osprey]

It go 💥

[formal girder]

I wanna see +450W power draw

[analog pulsar]

Oh no

It crashed

My system restarted itself

@earnest olive I got so far

[little osprey]

No 💥?

[formal girder]

Lol core was too unstable

[analog pulsar]

Yea I think that did it

Round 2

So my gpu can handle 200+ clock on gpu but not 300

[urban quest]

I have a a320m - a pro gtx 1060 6gb long boi 16gb ddr4 3200 with two 500gb hard-drives and a 500gb ssd

And some cheap power supply that's bronze rated

Idek the cpu bc I got it free from a friend and it fit

[formal girder]

My 3090 cant support 300+

[earnest olive]

inb4 5950x

[analog pulsar]

On what

[formal girder]

Core

I can do +255 core and +1630 mem

[earnest olive]

holy

I can only do +135 and +435 lmao

I have the world's worst 3080

[analog pulsar]

Idk maybe I can do 250

But I did 300

[formal girder]

Try 245

[analog pulsar]

Crash

Not core

Memory can't do 1k

Wait

I'm dumb

I set occt to only run 20 mins oops

Nevermind

No crash

Can I do 1.1k

[formal girder]

Idk gotta try

[analog pulsar]

1.1 successful

Trying 1.2k

1.2k successful voltage increased by 50%

1.5k success

[analog pulsar]

This is yours

What gpu

[formal girder]

I have the Zotac Rtx 3090 Trinity OC 24g

[analog pulsar]

Something went wrong

System failure

[formal girder]

Hmm

[formal girder]

Rip

[analog pulsar]

[formal girder]

2485 errors holy chicken legs

[analog pulsar]

um

im gunna set everything back to default

[formal girder]

Best choice

I only oc to get higher gpu scores on timespy

[analog pulsar]

What about mining

[formal girder]

I dont mine

[analog pulsar]

Oh

[formal girder]

I render and play vr at max settings thats why my 3090 is for

[clever eagle]

typing

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive help what did I do

[clever eagle]

what headset

[west haven]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sfqmbh can any 1 tell me if this is a good build for high performance gaming and watching vidios?

[formal girder]

Quest 2 but soon to upgrade to a Pimax 8KX

10 uni fans oml yikes

[clever eagle]

nice
i have quest 1

[west haven]

yh they look ghood

good*

[urban quest]

Imma ask again bc I didn't really get a straight answer

Do you guys think a msi a320m - a pro fit in a nzxt h200?

[clever eagle]

y a320m?

b550m exists

[urban quest]

Because it's what I already have

[west haven]

but is is any good?

[urban quest]

I'm just trying to get a cheap smaller case

[formal girder]

I have both quest 1 and 2 and still use both

[frank stirrup]

a chipset bad

get b

[clever eagle]

nice

[fossil cedar]

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/ cann you redo it in your countries pc part picker? It's not viable to give advice on that, as all out advice is based on prices

[urban quest]

It's wayy to big so I need a smaller case

[formal girder]

I bought both headsets day one launch lol and soon to get some better vive trackers and base stations and maybe get an upgrade on haptic if they drop a vest with more than 64 point contact

[clever eagle]

i wish i could get that now
i use vr for eye therapy tho
and watching yt at night

[west haven]

no man idc toi much about the price just if it is around 2000-3000 euros and it is buit around a 3070 ti founderedition and in a 5000d

[fossil cedar]

Well also availability is different in different countries

[formal girder]

5000d is a chonker case just as a heads up

[west haven]

well iof should be in swedish then

[fossil cedar]

Prices aren't consistent around the globe

[frank stirrup]

hewwo pato

[urban quest]

Rip no straight answer again :((

[fossil cedar]

I can recommend you the id cooling se 224xt for an i5 11400 or something, but in Canada that's like 120$ when it's supposed to be 30$

[fossil cedar]

That's personal

[west haven]

what is a 224xt

[fossil cedar]

Hai

[frank stirrup]

name of an air cooler

[west haven]

and i think about using an i9

[urban quest]

Lmao thanks that really helped

[west haven]

thx

[fossil cedar]

It was an example

[west haven]

ok

[fossil cedar]

Can you just put the list into https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/

[west haven]

this is my list

[fossil cedar]

Seriously cant give you recommendations without knowing the local pricing etc

You need to send me back the link

[west haven]

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/sfqmbh

[fossil cedar]

Okay

White theme?

[west haven]

yes sir

[fossil cedar]

Do you already have the 3080?

[west haven]

and main focus o the 3070 ti fuondersedition and in a 5000d plz

nope

3080*

or actualy can you change it to a 3070 ti founders edition

[fossil cedar]

Then give yourself some more budget to actually get s caed lel

[fossil cedar]

Why

[frank stirrup]

3070ti waste of money

[fossil cedar]

Don't focus on a specific model

[frank stirrup]

3070 or 3080

[fossil cedar]

Unless same price as 3070

[west haven]

cuz it is between the 3070 adn 3080 and it is good

[frank stirrup]

its really not

[west haven]

ok just go the the 3080 then

[frank stirrup]

its marginally better than a 3070

[fossil cedar]

@west haven what's your budget?

[west haven]

in kr?

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[west haven]

20000-30000 ian idc if it is a little more

[formal girder]

[rugged nebula]

$3.5k

[fossil cedar]

Kr nor euor or dollar mate, it's like 2-3k

[west haven]

yh

[fossil cedar]

Just for gaming?

[rugged nebula]

3k = 3.5k in dollars

[fossil cedar]

And white theme?

[west haven]

high en gamin

end gaming*

[rugged nebula]

thats a good budget

._.

[fossil cedar]

White theme??

[west haven]

🙂

yes

[fossil cedar]

Okay

You need wifi?

[west haven]

imma use a cable so idk if i need it

just so you know idk much about pcs

[rugged nebula]

you can always get a dongle if you end up needing it

[west haven]

sure

[fossil cedar]

Then why are you building such an expensive one

[rugged nebula]

._.

[west haven]

cuz i want it

[frank stirrup]

prebuilt my dood

[rugged nebula]

will you be able to put the parts together?

[west haven]

just bc iudk much about does not matter if i want 1

[fossil cedar]

@west haven can you link me to a shop that sells graphics cards in sweeden

[west haven]

yh i have some friends

[rugged nebula]

good den

[little osprey]

hi

[west haven]

@visual bone can you change the cpu cooler cuz teh galahad is mad ugly ngl

[fossil cedar]

What lmao

It's nice and it's the only good white aio

[west haven]

i dont like the punp

[fossil cedar]

Well the rest are pretty garbo

[west haven]

is the lc 360 good?

[fossil cedar]

Nah only ones worth spending money on are Arctic liquid freezer ii(black only), ek rgb(black only) and lian li Galahad

[west haven]

well thx for the help man

[fossil cedar]

Np

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/7PxRsY/corsair-icue-h150i-elite-capellix-75-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060051-ww i mean you could go with this

But it's not worth the money

[west haven]

¨can you chage the pump rgb?

or rather say am i able to change it?

[fossil cedar]

Yes to both i believe

If you don't like the Galahad pump it also comes with a little thing you can use to cover it lol

[west haven]

no i mean for the corsair

[fossil cedar]

Ye both of them can change rgb

[west haven]

okey thanks alot for all ur time and effort man 😦

[fossil cedar]

Np

[clever eagle]

what

[stiff sand]

I want to buy a new PC
around 100K INR budget
can anyone help me with this.

[clever eagle]

ok

[fossil cedar]

I'd probs ask @frank stirrup #9999 for help with this

Wth i tagged guy called raw instead of rawr 👀

[clever eagle]

a

[frank stirrup]

Whomst has summoned the lazy one

[frank stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-ramsay-rage-raw-shouting-kitchen-gif-17087812

[frank stirrup]

Hmmm

[formal girder]

In other words in usd thats around 1369usd

Or better yet 1370

[frank stirrup]

nah

maybe 800

parts are much more spensive here

[formal girder]

100k indian rupee converted to 1370 usd

[frank stirrup]

doesnt matter

parts dont cost the same here as they do in the US

its completely different

and parts prices are whacky

[stiff sand]

oh i thought they are close to MSRP

[frank stirrup]

a 1370$ build here will be the same as a 800 or so $ build in the us

[frank stirrup]

yeah and they remain at msrp

dont drop much with next gen

[clever eagle]

IK
anything branded/imported costs a ton

like almost double

especially tech related

an iphone 12 can cost 94000 INR

[stiff sand]

rip

so i have to wait some more time?

[frank stirrup]

10400 + ASUS TUF GAMING B560-PLUS WIFI + gammax 4000v2 + 2 x Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR4-3600, MSI MPG A650GF any case you want and whatever gpu you can get with left over money

[fossil cedar]

Converting currencies is a waste of time for tech

[frank stirrup]

buy from mdcomputers, prime abgb, amazon, newegg and local

look for cheapest price

@stiff sand

[stiff sand]

cool

[wicked frigate]

I need help it says cpu fan error

And I have an aio

[formal girder]

Do you have the aio pump plug inserted in aio pump header or cpu fan header on your motherboard

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[formal girder]

Actually funny enough i couldnt use the aio pin out on mobo for mine due to artics mounts making it nearly impossible so i used the cpu fan pin out and it works fine

[wicked frigate]

Irk

Idk

[obsidian wigeon]

ye aio pump header or cpu fan header works

[wicked frigate]

Ok

It’s fine right

[obsidian wigeon]

well

It has that error

So you have to be sure the aio's connector is connected to either of those headers

[wicked frigate]

I I go red

I ignored it

[obsidian wigeon]

They're labeled on the mobo

[obsidian wigeon]

like cpu_fan or pump_fan or something

[wicked frigate]

I didn’t plug anything there

[obsidian wigeon]

yeah that's why

the fans won't spin

and it'll run hot

[wicked frigate]

The th

Ohh

[wicked frigate]

How do I do it

[obsidian wigeon]

just an example

well you look at your mobo's manual

[wicked frigate]

And

[obsidian wigeon]

it'll have a page about installing aios

[wicked frigate]

Ik when they are located

[obsidian wigeon]

or coolers

you have to connect the aio's cable to it

[wicked frigate]

I plugged it into aio pump

[obsidian wigeon]

Is the bios error still happening?

[wicked frigate]

I ignored it

But I think

And idk why

[obsidian wigeon]

well

[wicked frigate]

I have it plugged into aio pump

[obsidian wigeon]

if the radiator fans are spinning

it should work

[wicked frigate]

Ok do you know what the code AA mean

Does anyone one know why my fans suddenly make noise than go back to quite mode

[formal girder]

Thats just a fan curve probably kicking in settling back down when cool enough but code AA 40 or 30 is a All Okay code

Can you pull up bios and take a picture?

I wanna see what the fan curve for it is

[wicked frigate]

Ok

[formal girder]

I also wanna see the cpu temp as well

[wicked frigate]

K

Why doesn’t my bios come up

Is nineteen trustable

[formal girder]

code 19 that means "Pre-Memory PCH Initialization is started"

Keep reading off any codes your motherboard decides to sing so we can get a full understanding if any errors occur

[wicked frigate]

It’s just Aa

AA

Nothing else

But I can’t access bios

It does t give the option to

[formal girder]

Hmm aa is the all okay code tho

[wicked frigate]

But how do I access bios

I need someone to check all my bio on hints

[ocean portal]

im think about upgrading my rx580 to a 2060 is that a good idea?

all my friends said get a 3060 but i cant afford it:(

[obsidian wigeon]

ehhh, 2060 tends to be expensive too

[formal girder]

So turn your pc off and when you boot it up before the post screen shows spam the delete key until it appears

[ocean portal]

yea i have found them for me 400 bucks

[wicked frigate]

I did

Let me try

I am bios

What I guys wanna see

[formal girder]

Take a picture of whole screen forst

[wicked frigate]

Main

Which’s creek

Screen

@formal girder

[formal girder]

Main

[obsidian wigeon]

well that's nice, get it before it runs out lmao

it's basically msrp

[sweet dirge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/djqHHz is there anything I could improve?

[ocean portal]

The monitor

if u want high fps get a 240 or a 280

its better than a 170

get a benq

their good

[wicked frigate]

@formal girder

Ok

[formal girder]

I see nothing wrong with the build itself tho on the pc side the peripherals idk much on

[wicked frigate]

One sec

[formal girder]

Alright

[ocean portal]

get a 240 hz benq monitor insted of the 170hz trust me cuz benq monitors have bluelight tech in them so you can game for long hours its better

[wicked frigate]

My code is A9

[jagged ember]

Blue light is a gimmick

It doesn't matter if it's on or off

Also m27q is a good monitor

If you can find a similarly specced or better monitor for a similar price, then go for it

Otherwise, you definitely won't be disappointed with the m27q

It's not all just about refresh rate

My eyes get tired if blue light is on or off lmao

[formal girder]

Press F7 and show what that screen looks like

[jagged ember]

So it doesn't work, but adjusting the brightness helps a lot

[vague oracle]

@wicked frigate What’s the problem? I’m fairly experienced with the Asus BIOS

[formal girder]

So he just needs to set a fan curve but im not sure if the pump is on until they show EzMode on the bios to show if aio is up and running

His cpu 5900x idles at 48°C just in bios alone

[vague oracle]

48C is fairly normal for a 5900x last time I checked

What are his load temps?

Mine idles around 43-44C

[formal girder]

No clue we just got passed his issue of the aio not being plugged in but need to check his curve so he doesnt encounter thermal throttle

[vague oracle]

All he needs to do is click F6 to get into fan control

EZ mode is horrible

[formal girder]

He was getting the all okay code and memory initialization code

I just use EzMode so i can read it but i told him to go to cooling for the curve portion

But no response from him

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

[formal girder]

For now we fixed their biggest issue of an aio not being powered lol

[sweet dirge]

thanks

[sweet dirge]

tbh im looking for a mintor good for programming and gaming at 4k

[formal girder]

Hmm ok odd

That man just vanished from existence before my very feathers

[ocean portal]

ahh k

[stoic island]

I'd still grab a M27q over a benq 240hz monitor, afterall, it's 1440p170hz vs 1080p240hz

and low bluelight can be done with software too if you really want that

[obsidian wigeon]

^

f.lux could do it

or even windows 10 itself tbh

[wicked frigate]

can someone help me check my bios and cpu fan error

These are the cables my aio has

[jagged ember]

Basically what they said, blue light isn't anything special

[jagged ember]

And ofc BenQ 240hz is lower res

[olive cypress]

What problem it has?

[wicked frigate]

@olive cypress

I also have a question

So I have a cpu fan error

[olive cypress]

Ok

[wicked frigate]

Do I have to plug something I t here

In there

[olive cypress]

The cables?

[wicked frigate]

Or can I put it in an fan header

So I have an hub in the back

Where I connected my fans

And the hub to an fab header

[wicked frigate]

So do I have to use the cpu fan header

[olive cypress]

This one has to be obviously connected

[wicked frigate]

Yah one is connecte do to aio pump

And other into d rgb header

But I get a cpu fan error message

So I don’t know what to do

[olive cypress]

Is maybe the fan not spinning?

[wicked frigate]

Let me see

There all spinning

[olive cypress]

Mmmh....

[wicked frigate]

Idk what cpu fan error is and what it means

[olive cypress]

Is there a particular message?

[wicked frigate]

No it just says cpu fan error!

[olive cypress]

Oof

Disconnect and reconnect fan?

I don't think it will help...but try

[wicked frigate]

Which one

[olive cypress]

All the connectors

Try connecting just the one that gives power to the fan

[olive cypress]

This one ^

[wicked frigate]

Ok so listen

I have one hub wick cab plug in 6 tabs

Fans

[olive cypress]

Oke oke

And?

[frank stirrup]

@wicked frigate could you tell me what the issue you are facing is?

So I can help

[olive cypress]

Fan error (CPU aio)

[wicked frigate]

@frank stirrup

So I have an cpu fan error

[frank stirrup]

what mobo?

[wicked frigate]

Yes

So

I have one hub

Which plus 6 fans

[frank stirrup]

no like what mobo u got?

and you have an aio yes?

[wicked frigate]

I plugged that hub fan header into a fan header

Than I have a 3 fan splitter

Which I also plugged into an fan header

[frank stirrup]

Just answer the questions I ask please

I dont need all the details

[wicked frigate]

My mobo is dark hero

[frank stirrup]

exact model?

[wicked frigate]

Asus rog dark hero

And I also need help checking my bios please

[frank stirrup]

EXACT model please

chipset as well

[wicked frigate]

Ok wait

ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

[olive cypress]

The 3 fan splitter is connected to a 4 pin named (sys_fan)?

[frank stirrup]

chipset?

[wicked frigate]

Am4

[frank stirrup]

thats socket

[wicked frigate]

Oh

Ummm

[frank stirrup]

I need the chipset

get the mobo box and send a pic

[wicked frigate]

Ok

[olive cypress]

X570

Just look on google

[wicked frigate]

Yes

X570

[olive cypress]

?

[wicked frigate]

Idk I am checking

[frank stirrup]

Ok so first off espso

you wanna have your aio fan going to NOT the fan hub

[olive cypress]

Because I think the 4 pin connector should be on the pump connector (theoretically on the top right of the MoBo)

[frank stirrup]

connect all the case fans to the fan hub

Please just stop confusing him LoFabio

you quite clearly dont know what is happening

[wicked frigate]

Okkk

[olive cypress]

But he maybe connected the 4 pin to the hub and not directly to the pump connector

[wicked frigate]

So I have the splitter plugged into CHA_Fan3 and the hub into

[frank stirrup]

Espso im giving ur mobo manual a read

gimme 2 mins

[wicked frigate]

ISB_E56

[frank stirrup]

till then disconnect the aio from ur hub

[wicked frigate]

USB

[wicked frigate]

I can’t do that

It’s like way to hard

[frank stirrup]

why not?

[wicked frigate]

Everything is zip tied all that

[frank stirrup]

well figure out a way

cut zip ties

[wicked frigate]

Do I need to plug it into cpu fan

[frank stirrup]

you need to get them seperate

[frank stirrup]

yes

[wicked frigate]

Does it matter

If so please how

[frank stirrup]

yes it does

with an aio you want the pump to be running at 100% all the time

[wicked frigate]

Oh

One

Omg

[frank stirrup]

with a fan hub you cant ecactly control each fan seperately

[wicked frigate]

I have to cut everything lol

Nooo

Dang it

[frank stirrup]

and if it sees no fans on the fan header on the mobo, the mobo gonna freak out and say imma not boot because cpu gonna die of overheat

[wicked frigate]

But it did boot

I could play games all that

[frank stirrup]

so all case fans go to the fan hub since temp control not as necessary

[wicked frigate]

I was rubbing this

I have 9 fans I total

In

3 aio

[frank stirrup]

but aio or cpu cooler fan goes to cpu header

[wicked frigate]

And rest case

I have the aio into aio pump

[frank stirrup]

you need to have the aio fans in the cpu fan header

[wicked frigate]

Ok

Do I start rn

It’s going to be a long process

[frank stirrup]

it clearly says cpu fan error as well here

[wicked frigate]

Yah

[frank stirrup]

start whenever

[wicked frigate]

Ok

[frank stirrup]

it just what you need to do

[wicked frigate]

So can u summarize it up for me

Please and thx

I have an hub and splitter

That’s what I got

[earnest olive]

technically you don't

it's better to put them there tho

[wicked frigate]

What

I am so confused now

[frank stirrup]

@earnest olive

you can have any fan in the fan header yes

[earnest olive]

if you disable CPU fan error you no longer need to

[vague oracle]

I heard dark hero what’s the problem

[earnest olive]

you're my hero

[vague oracle]

Nope, on the dark hero/hero it won’t boot if you don’t have the pump on the cpu_fan header

[earnest olive]

well this is rad fans not pump

[wicked frigate]

So can someone tell me if I leave it or not

[earnest olive]

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

[wicked frigate]

Or do I cut all my hard work apart

[earnest olive]

you can just press f1 to enter setup and disable the cpu fan warning
