[ancient crown]

A mc

[limber solstice]

I cant and i gtg again

[fossil cedar]

@full atlas https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xNtzt8

[full atlas]

Lemme fix it with the prices at mc I could get

Oh dang wait they don’t have 10400f anymore

[fossil cedar]

That is with the prices at mc

You could do 10400 and b560 and mc for same price as 10400f and b560 elsewhere

[full atlas]

I might just go with the i3 at this point or used 10400(f) Bc the new one is almost 2x as much

[fossil cedar]

I mean if you can't afford thats fair

10105 aint horrible

[lyric thistle]

10300 😎 🔥

[full atlas]

It’s not that I can’t afford It’s just I probably don’t need the extra 2 cores for that much more, if mc still had the 10400f for 140$ then I definitely would consider it

[lyric thistle]

10325 🔥🔥🔥

I wish the i3s were priced better so a 10325 could be a compelling chip

super fast i3 cores

[fossil cedar]

10320 😎

[fossil cedar]

Fair enough

You can always upgrade to an 11400 later on or something

[worn aspen]

Can you mix 16 gb ram with 32 or up

[ancient crown]

You can if they have the same specs

[worn aspen]

Cas and speed you mean

[ancient crown]

Yup

[worn aspen]

Thank you

[ancient crown]

I think someone said they don't recommend it but they were specifying like 16 + 8

Don't know if it is across all sizes.
But shouldn't matter too much as long as you have the same specs besides size

[stoic island]

Mixing is just not reccomended in general

It's a it can work but it can also not work thing

[ancient crown]

Ah fair enough. My bad. I misunderstood

[ancient crown]

Listen to mr.1111

mr1111 smart

[analog pulsar]

what are some good fans

[lyric thistle]

p14

[analog pulsar]

these

any in 120mm

[lyric thistle]

p12

lol

[analog pulsar]

okay i found them

[lyric thistle]

👍

[analog pulsar]

so would these be okay to put ontop of gpu

[lyric thistle]

yeah probably

not sure how effective it would be but idk what the gpu looks like

but

people dothat

[analog pulsar]

does this only blow one way

[lyric thistle]

that would pull air up

you could probably flip the fans tho

[analog pulsar]

well both my pcie slots are 16x 4.0 so i was gunna move my gpu down a slot and put that in

[lyric thistle]

probably best to leave it pulling up tho

what for?

[analog pulsar]

I need air to blow on top of my gpu

There's fans on bottom of gpu so that's fine

[lyric thistle]

oh wait the top slot is covered by the gpu?

[analog pulsar]

Wait

[analog pulsar]

Gpu is in first slot but I was thinking of movinf gpu to second slot and put fan in first slot and blow air into it

[lyric thistle]

yeah that makes sense

you can put the fan above the m.2 slot tho

it doesn't actually occupy a pcie socket

[analog pulsar]

ohhhh

[lyric thistle]

it's just fans x

d

[analog pulsar]

wait would i need to remove the heatsink

[lyric thistle]

no

the m.2 heatsink?

or the backplate of the gpu

[analog pulsar]

okay

would you pick this gpu cooler or another one

rgb lol

[lyric thistle]

idk I'd probably get p12s

but in your case either oneof those I guess would work

[analog pulsar]

will this be good

[analog pulsar]

im getting p12

ew shipping

[lyric thistle]

lol

[dark island]

Helo

I’m bored

[fleet pagoda]

How to i take out a hdd this mf stuck

The wire is hard to get at

[little osprey]

what are some fun or cool things you guys suggest i could do with a 1U rack server that has two e6 2650s, 8gb of ram, and four 146gb drives

[fleet pagoda]

I got it

[winged lion]

@austere condor YOU USED A PA120 ARGB WHITE IN THAT BUILD

SICK

never knew it looked that good

defo buying that before price increase

[analog pulsar]

ran out

[winged lion]

sadge

[little osprey]

no suggestions?

[stoic island]

I mean

what are you going to do

[little osprey]

thats why i was asking if anyone had cool ideas

[stoic island]

run a server sounds like a normal thing to do

[little osprey]

um.. yes

[stoic island]

I mean game server

minecraft, rust, ark, whatever you want

[little osprey]

yea I had actually considered that, but I dont have time to manage or develop my MC server while living at college

I was developing a public 1.17.1 PaperMC server before the semester started

[stoic island]

could try to host a unturned server for fun

[little osprey]

Oh shoot I used to play that game a bunch back in 2016

Hmm yea that could be an actual option

Unturned servers with plugins tend to be way easier to put together than an MC one

might be fun to return to that game too

[stoic island]

I set up a lan server in like 10 minutes although couldn't get it to work because network issues

[little osprey]

I remember the biggest unturned servers were PandaHut servers, which the communities were so bad

[stoic island]

oh yea I remember playing that from time to time

the first few servers were always full

so I would play on like pvp 8

[little osprey]

the roleplay servers were especially bad

the admins always sucked

[stoic island]

never encountered admins because I never played on that server that much

[little osprey]

thats fortunate lol

[stoic island]

spent a lot of my time on a gold server few years ago, knew the people on there, became staff

[little osprey]

dang

[stoic island]

pretty sure the server still shows up in the server browser but it just doesn't work

[jagged ember]

they already came out with working 1.17.1 PaperMC jars tho

[little osprey]

Yea I might actually consider starting an unturned server, that could be fun for a while. Not sure how I'd get my server out there though. I've never really been part of the Unturned community much

[stoic island]

oh damn

they added achievements to unturned

I'm at 46/54 achievements now

might have to do those

[stoic island]

People will probably just stumble upon it

[little osprey]

true

Does whatever is used to run an unturned server prefer cores or clockspeed?

I know with minecraft it's a decent balance of available cores that can be used if it's on a network like BungeeCord, but mainly a high clockspeed is the most beneficial

[stoic island]

not sure

[little osprey]

The system I ordered has two e5 2650s, which are low clockspeed 8 core 16t cpus

it also only has 8gb of ram...

but i got it for a good price

decent hard drives too. probably gonna run it in RAID 5 though since it's only four 146GB drives

[stoic island]

could try raid 10

[little osprey]

True

Im not too familiar with it though

im gonna read up on it real quick

[inland parrot]

hey what is a good hot-swappable mechanical keyboard

[stoic island]

keychron

[little osprey]

Hmm yea I had considered RAID 5 because I can have the storage-worth of 3 of the drives instead of just 2, as compared with RAID 10. Right? @stoic island

[stoic island]

raid 10 is just faster

theorhetically at least

[little osprey]

Yea, it probably would run faster in practice too. But they're already 10k SAS drives, which should be more than adequate for running an Unturned server (maybe not so much for MC though as my player-count gets larger).

[inland parrot]

@stoic island one that has light

[stoic island]

fair

[little osprey]

hmm yea i have some things to weigh

[stoic island]

every keychron board I can think of has hotswap and rgb options

not all are on amazon

[inland parrot]

oh

[stoic island]

some from keychron directly

[little osprey]

a BungeeCord server with 100 players would definitely like fast storage. But then I'd only have about 240GB of usable space with RAID 10 lol

[jagged ember]

I was gonna say mcss

But not Minecraft

[stoic island]

ye

[jagged ember]

Also wait that's for windows too

Server windows bad

[little osprey]

Yea I've heard that plenty enough already. I don't need to run another operating system in my case. Windows will do just fine

[jagged ember]

Oh nvm

[fleet pagoda]

Will this work w a 5800x

[little osprey]

yea

[stoic island]

aorus pro works

[fleet pagoda]

It wont need a bios update either

[stoic island]

if it does, it has flashback anyways

[fleet pagoda]

Ok

[little osprey]

run windows 98 on it

maximum performance

[fleet pagoda]

I was changing the case of my pc and the motherboard is stuck lmao

Like

[little osprey]

uh oh

[stoic island]

oh fun

[fleet pagoda]

The io is jammed

And its completely stuck

Can i clean thermal paste off my cpu w a q tip

[stoic island]

Uh

Why?

That just sounds annoying

[stoic island]

Smth like paper towel is just easier

Isopropyl alcohol wipes are the best to get it off easily if available

It's not like the CPU ihs is fragile

[fleet pagoda]

Ill see if i have any

[stoic island]

Thermal paste just doesn't come off cleanly usually

The point of thermal paste is to fill in tiny gaps between the ihs and coldplate anyways

[fleet pagoda]

This good?

[stoic island]

Good nuff for now

[fleet pagoda]

Thanks

[bold root]

I have AORUS GeForce RTX™ 3080 XTREME WATERFORCE WB 10G (rev. 2.0). Does anyone have any recommendations on what cooling kit I need? Is it possible to hook this up to a non-DIY cooling option?

[kind vortex]

HOW DID YOU GET A RTX

[hallow glen]

i has an rtx

[kind vortex]

ok

[hallow glen]

its not that hard

[kind vortex]

but like howw

it so expensive

[bold root]

i got it in the newegg shuffle

[vague oracle]

There are the EK cooling kits which are good for beginners

Or you can try the loop customizer on the EK website

[bold root]

thank you

[vague oracle]

What’s your cooler on your CPU?

Because you might as well also add the CPU into the custom loop

[kind vortex]

[bold root]

It is an all new build. Would that be best?

[vague oracle]

If you have the extra money then I would definitely do that

I’ve been in the same place as you’re in now and I decided that a GPU only custom loop isn’t really worth it

[bold root]

I am a noob with custom cooling, so would I need to separate kits to incorporate the CPU

[vague oracle]

Just go through the EK loop configurator and it will set that all up for you

Just make sure that you select that you already have a GPU water block

[bold root]

that is very helpful, thank you

[stoic island]

@bold root remember that you should not do hard tube to start off if it's your first custom loop

[bold root]

I appreciate that. I just am reading about that and hard tube needing a heat gun. I am not ready for that.

[stoic island]

Also, keep in mind ek kinda really expensive

Well, custom loop in general is expensive

For very little performance gain

[bold root]

I would be ok NOT doing custom job. But I have been trying to get a 3080 for over a year. I got this GPU because I was selected in the shuffle. I wish this could just hook up to a prebuilt cooling option

[earnest olive]

you could try to trade it to someone for a normal air cooled model

[bold root]

I would be worried about getting scammed.

[earnest olive]

well you can try doing a local sealed box trade

custom loops will add a lot of cost to your build

if you're not excited about the idea of building a custom loop better trade

[vague oracle]

Yeah kinda forgot to mention that 😅

[earnest olive]

you're looking at like $200 for a basic loop

and the more advanced ones exceed $500

[vague oracle]

More like $400 for just the gpu if you want something well performing

[earnest olive]

and I know those wb 3080s from shuffle aren't cheap

[earnest olive]

you should be able to get away with a single rad and single pump no? assuming WB cost is already factored

even if you 480 rad I don't see how it would hit 400

[vague oracle]

Fittings, res, tubing

[earnest olive]

well yeah

I figured those didn't need to be mentioned

a 240 rad should be good enough

[vague oracle]

Earlier this year I was planning out a gpu only loop and pretty much everything I did came out to around $400

[stoic island]

I know ryo spent like 400$ or so for his watercooled card

[vague oracle]

And that’s not including the waterblock

[earnest olive]

do they still sell the bykski kits on aliexpress

apparently not

[stoic island]

Bykski kit? They should

[earnest olive]

I remember they'd give you everything for a single 240mm loop for under $200

[stoic island]

@cursive wharf gib updated link plz

[earnest olive]

and bykski is decent

[stoic island]

This still here
https://aliexpress.com/item/33018591972.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail

[mortal void]

whats a fast and easy way to completely wipe a boot drive?

[stoic island]

This also
https://aliexpress.com/item/32899782878.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5cf562285UYWPR

[stoic island]

Easy would be the usual wiping options you can find in bios, good way would be like DBAN

[mortal void]

well I'm not sure the limited bios on this crap hp thing can do that

[earnest olive]

this was what I was thinking of yeah

could just sell the cpu/gpu block

[mortal void]

in any case gonna test my new PC build

probably broke it

[stoic island]

I've heard good things about dban so it's here
https://dban.org/

[kind vortex]

danm free nuke

[cursive wharf]

@stoic island I like the soft tubing one. Can ask to switch over to hardtubing as well, or look for a hard tubing kit.
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000807277229.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.846036benAy4WR

[stoic island]

Yeye I like soft tubing too

[hollow frigate]

What do you guys think of this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LZqGy4

[stoic island]

it's a start, good amount to improve upon though.

@hollow frigate To start off, SSD.

[hollow frigate]

Do you think it will run warzone?

[stoic island]

the list needs improvements to be a well rounded list first.

For example, having a SSD

Do you want warzone to load in 50 seconds or load in 10 seconds kinda thing

[hollow frigate]

10

lol

[cursive wharf]

As well as doing more budgeting for GPU

[stoic island]

so ssd

[hollow frigate]

My budget is $1100

[stoic island]

ig it'll be simplier to just edit the list

[knotty relic]

Hell never last 10 seconds get outta here

[obsidian wigeon]

1100

[hollow frigate]

who

[obsidian wigeon]

Well that's better off spent on prebuilt

gpus be spensiv

[hollow frigate]

I've noticed

[stoic island]

@hollow frigate updated list that gives you 80$ extra to spend on a GPU, hopefully a 3060 if possible, otherwise 2060/super, or at least a 1660 super would be nice
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P7yGy4

[cursive wharf]

@stoic island 11400F gone still?

[hollow frigate]

Thanks

[obsidian wigeon]

11400f too popular kek

[stoic island]

don't like suggesting -f considering current situation but yea, gone...

[obsidian wigeon]

Meanwhile my country has normal pricing

[stoic island]

:(

[obsidian wigeon]

Different markets

[earnest olive]

when the world needed i5-11400 the most, it vanished

[obsidian wigeon]

Also is something like i5 3570 say worth 50 bucks in a mobo combo?

[earnest olive]

which mobo

[obsidian wigeon]

It's some asus P77 I think

[earnest olive]

it's not bad

what are you gonna do with an i5-3570 though

[cursive wharf]

There is 10400F tho. Not as good, but better over all honestly cuz more GPU

[obsidian wigeon]

I just randomly stumbled into one

[earnest olive]

yeah i'd rather go 10400F + 2070S > 5600X + 2060

[obsidian wigeon]

Not actually buyin kek

[cursive wharf]

Actually 10400 just $5 more then F and is apparently in stock

It is by Adorama tho so idk shipping

[stoic island]

yea prob better option atm

[mortal void]

PROBLEM

Razer keyboard don't work to get into bios

so going to my mom's work to borrow a spare keyboard she has

[jovial radish]

plugged new nvme drive into first m.2 port as is recommended

neither windows installer nor my motherboard see it

checked if it was installed properly, it is

[earnest olive]

@jovial radish do you have an intel 10th gen cpu in a 500 series chipset?

[jovial radish]

trying the other port tomorrow (I don't feel like tinkering anymore today) but I don't see why it isn't being detected

no, ryzen 3700x in a b550 motherboard

[earnest olive]

unfortunate

is it an asus board?

i had a z490 strix that really struggled to detect ssds

might be an asus problem

[jovial radish]

msi b550-a pro

[earnest olive]

ah

welp

one of them might be defective

or maybe you didn't plug in the drive all the way

not much else you can mess up with an m.2 drive

no cables

[jovial radish]

yeah

[lyric thistle]

Maybe you forgot to turn it on with the power button

Didn't you know ssds have power button

[jovial radish]

lol

[earnest olive]

[jovial radish]

new motherboard too

[lyric thistle]

/j aside my grandpa has an older Intel HEDT platform with some Samsung m.2 drive and it always messes up boot order according to him

M.2 weird

[jovial radish]

my m.2 is a cheap offbrand one

could be my system just doesn't like it

it won't make a difference if I have to use the other port as it's not a 4x4 drive

just hoping it's not dead

[mortal void]

no keyboards worm

work

the hell is happening

[jovial radish]

all usb?

[mortal void]

yeah

[jovial radish]

got a ps/2 port?

[mortal void]

yeah but no PS2 keebs

[jovial radish]

uh oh

see if you can get an adapter or borrow an old ps/2 keyboard

if anyone still has one

if that doesn't work

my guess is something shorted

but it's a very rough guess

[mortal void]

I would say bios is the issue and I should flash to the updated one. But it boots to the screen that tells me press del or f2 so I don't think that's the issue

[jovial radish]

I would tend to agree

but it's really odd to me that of all things it won't detect any keyboards

[inland parrot]

well i might just get this https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32018253054041

[jovial radish]

speaking of keyboards

lol

sometimes but rarely ports can short

[mortal void]

maybe I'll just flash bios

I'll try one more thing

dram light is also orange so hopefully I didn't mess up the ports or something

I'll try swapping it around

[obsidian wigeon]

ye that's good

[inland parrot]

and I will just try them out

and since they are hot swapable that is even better

and should I get Optical Switch or Keychron Optical

[stoic island]

neither

[stoic island]

get gateron hotswap

I am a K8 owner

[inland parrot]

nice

let me see a pic

and it is small

[stoic island]

Older pic but whatever

[stoic island]

tkl is tkl, it's basically the same size for most tkl boards

big or small is relative

[kind vortex]

[stoic island]

yeye

[inland parrot]

oh okay

i was trying to look for a full size but it was sold out

[stoic island]

eh, keychron c2 hotswap is a thing

[inland parrot]

i was talking about this one https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k10-wireless-mechanical-keyboard

[stoic island]

k10 is still new afaik

it's just not around

[stoic island]

tbh I really like tkl, you don't really need numpad

wat

how

is your sister like 6

wat

ineffective

excuse me what

take the keycap off

show her

use a switch puller

take it out

show her the big ol' Gateron on it

[stoic island]

yea okay

perhaps she is colorblind and didn't know

[potent portal]

"they're reds"
And I'm a potato

[plain grove]

I’m having trouble installing a sea gate hard drive to a Bgears b-Voguish case can anyone help me with that?

[stoic island]

wat

how can she

what

[stoic island]

should be able to screw it in from the bottom

I can't even

[plain grove]

Tried its too big

[potent portal]

Cheap cases 🤷‍♂️

[plain grove]

Idk doesn’t fit when I try putting it in

Yeah I was on a budget

[stoic island]

oh wait

yea holes usually on the side

something like this

[potent portal]

It's supposed to fit how you have it in the picture, but cheap cases you might need to bend a little

[plain grove]

Damn

[cinder crystal]

Had a question about using a Samsung 870 qvo 2tb ssd in a desktop and a set of teamgroup xtreem argb 3600mhz CL18, ddr4 288 pin ram, either 8gbx2 or 16gbx2, and if anyone had recommendations

[kind vortex]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/458491593129852928/867891361066909766/image0-3.gif

[earnest olive]

keybord is keybord

[kind vortex]

huh

it keyboard

[potent portal]

What do you mean recommendations? 870 is a halfway decent drive, 3600 c18 is meh, and most people don't need more than 2x8gb

[earnest olive]

compoopor is compoopor

[stoic island]

you know what, send her this
https://keyboard.university/100-courses/switches-101-xnyng

3600c18 sad

3600c16 usually same price or cheaper than 3600c18 rgb sticks

[potent portal]

Some people put looks over performance 🤷‍♂️

[cinder crystal]

Well thanks for the info, or lack thereof, will just stick to the 500gb ssd and 16gb 2400hz I already have

[potent portal]

You never really said what info you wanted though?

[cinder crystal]

Was wondering if itd be worth buying as upgrades, but being dunked on is all I needed. Thanks.

[stoic island]

I mean, the info is that this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083V93HJG
performs better and is cheaper than
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T1Q32H7

[earnest olive]

definitely worth upgrading from 2400mhz ram tbh

[stoic island]

but yaknow

I'm lazy

[earnest olive]

as for storage needs only you can answer how much storage you need

[potent portal]

What's the budget of your upgrade? We can give better suggestions

[cinder crystal]

About 300, why the ssd was just a booster to store games on, the rams the real upgrade at need

[stoic island]

do you have an extra m.2 slot capable of NVMe

because smth like mp33 2tb will cost pretty close to 870qvo 2tb

[kind vortex]

ⁱˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵃ ᵇᵉᵉᶠʸ ᵖᵒᵗᵃᵗᵒ ᶠˡᵃᵗ ᵇʳᵉᵃᵈ ᵗᵃᶜᵒ ʷⁱᵗʰ ᵉˣᵗʳᵃ beans ᵃⁿᵈ ᶜʳᵉᵃᵐʸ ʲᵃˡᵃᵖᵉⁿᵒ ˢᵃᵘᶜᵉ? ᵐᵐᵐᵐᵐᵐᵐ

[jagged ember]

beans tho

[cinder crystal]

I have it, but Ive heard doubling on nvme might start drawing off of the 3070 gfx

[stoic island]

Depends on the board

what motherboard?

most should not split pcie_1 bandwidth with m.2 slots

usually shared bandwidth is like if you use m.2_2 you can't use SATA_5 and SATA_6

[kind vortex]

m.2 3090

[stoic island]

or like PCIe_4&PCIe_5 that are both x1 slots kinda thing

[cinder crystal]

B560M DS3H, Gigabyte mobo

[stoic island]

11th gen chip?

[cinder crystal]

Yes, 11th gen I7 11700F

[stoic island]

damn ds3h does it really weirdly

won't do anything if you have an NVMe ssd in m.2_2 but apparently SATA_1 will be disabled if you use a SATA m.2 ssd for m.2_2..?

but anyways

doesn't share bandwidth w pcie slots it seems

shouldn't affect any of that

[cinder crystal]

Ah ok, like I said, mem was just a dump tank for games so could double that since it has two slots, just heard from a friend it might start interfering with how the gpu operates

[potent portal]

In some cases it might but not this case

[stoic island]

I don't know of any setups where m.2_2 will interfere with any x16 slots

anyways

keep in mind mixing ram makes the ram run at the lowest speed, and does not always even run

[jagged ember]

So always run ram of the same speed and timing

[cinder crystal]

Why I was planning a full upgrade to keep it at 16gb with higher mhz minimum

[jagged ember]

Preferably just the same sticks

[stoic island]

(2x8 2400c15 + 2x8 3600c16 = 4x8 sticks running at 2400c15)

[cinder crystal]

Again, just gonna rip those lower ones out cause it wouldnt be worth underutilizing the better ones

[jagged ember]

My m.2_2 will disable pcie_4

[potent portal]

This drive: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08CDM2HSS
Plus this memory: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B083V93HJG
That's what I'd do

[jagged ember]

Which is a separate pcie x4 lane

Which is good that I have my wifi card in pcie_3

[stoic island]

yeye

[jagged ember]

Spicy

Wats their budget again

[potent portal]

$300 or so they said

[jagged ember]

Ah

Yeah I doubt I'd find a better 2tb m.2 lol

At the same price

[cinder crystal]

Yep, hits all points, work was generous, giving me a few 50 gc

[cursive wharf]

That'd be pretty hecking whack, chipset lane usage affecting CPU lane usage

[jagged ember]

Since sn550 is off the list now...

[stoic island]

yeye

[jagged ember]

:( rip sn550

[cinder crystal]

Id say higher, but this is a comfy spot between price and performance

[stoic island]

sn550 still okay

[potent portal]

Pilot E is the next cheapest good one at $219, SN550 is even more

[jagged ember]

They swap cache tho

[potent portal]

That only affects certain power users

[jagged ember]

Hm

Fair

Still sucks they didn't make an. Announcement tho

[potent portal]

You'd have to fill the cache in order to get the speed issue, and it's a pretty good size cache still

[cinder crystal]

Thanks for the suggestionsat least, and the info, will def look at these for payday

[mortal void]

bios update fixed it!

everything is fine

[jovial radish]

hooray

[mortal void]

is 36 degrees idle good for a 5600x?

I have an aftermarket cooler

34 eSports duo

[potent portal]

Idle doesn't matter, only full load temp

[mortal void]

I'll rephrase, is it average for idle temps

[potent portal]

It could idle at 60 but if it peaks at 80 it's still fine

[stoic island]

All average idle temperature tells you is your room temperature

[jagged ember]

Again, idle temps don't mean jack

Run it under load and if it's under 80

Good

[mortal void]

yeah alright nevermind then

and yes I will

[jagged ember]

Ay

[stoic island]

Hey if you want to see 90c+ just run smallfft

[jagged ember]

Like mine idles around 50 but never goes above 80

[stoic island]

Hehe

[jagged ember]

Except with smallfft

[mortal void]

sorry for being dense, mind is broken from doing nothing but PC building and troubleshooting

all day pretty much

[jagged ember]

Smallfft is just insane

[stoic island]

Smallfft fun

[jagged ember]

One of the fs stands for fun

[little osprey]

whats prime 95 then

[potent portal]

It calculates prime numbers, but it makes a good stress test for CPUs

[tawny violet]

If you take him as satirical it's actually really fun to watch

[inland parrot]

Just purchased the keyboard https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32018253054041

Just purchased the keyboard

[obsidian wigeon]

noice

[inland parrot]

cant wait to try this out and its my first mechanical keyboard

[edgy fossil]

MKBHD uses this keyboard.

[inland parrot]

really

[edgy fossil]

yes

[inland parrot]

nice did he say anything about it

[sour sage]

how much would a high end pc cost after the gpu shortage

[frank stirrup]

define high end

[sour sage]

rtx 3090

intel core i9

64gb

1tb ssd

[frank stirrup]

by the time gpu shortage ends, 5000 series nvidia cards will be out

high end rn will not be high end then

lol

3090 will be 2 generations old

amd might still be better than intel

and with ddr5 ram capacity will go up

so the pc you described could be midrange by the time stock shortage is over

lol

[sour sage]

then what will the price of rtx 5090, intel core i11, 256gb ram, 5tb storage

estimate

[frank stirrup]

whats an intel i11 lmfao

[sour sage]

what i ment by originall question if the shortage didnt exsist what are the prices

[frank stirrup]

depends what 3090 you want

also whats the point of the question?

[sour sage]

founder edition

just intrested

[frank stirrup]

then go build a system in https://pcpartpicker.com and google msrps for the cards and parts

[kind vortex]

nice

[sour sage]

ive choosen an rtx 3080ti and the full pc not including the gpu is 1500$ and the gpu made it 3500$

bruh

[formal girder]

Welcome to shortages and scalpers

[fossil cedar]

@fast dust why are you using a 3080 with a 650w psu?

[fossil cedar]

If you wanna send a https://pcpartpicker.com/list link with your parts can probs reduce the price a good bit

[sour sage]

ive probably done something wrong

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L32hCz

am sure i did

[fossil cedar]

Ohh

Jeez

What's the use case and what budget would you be aiming for @sour sage

And have you bought anything?

[formal girder]

Yeah that can easily be changed up and still have a better budget with more performance

[fossil cedar]

Why do you need 64gb ram?

Ignore that forgot storage

@sour sage https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pbLzt8

Comes out at 3080$ to match the 3080 😎

[formal girder]

Lol i was about to make that edit for ya pato with the same storage https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NqR2Xb

But i see ya beat me to it lol

[winged lion]

two things

you dont need an aio

[fossil cedar]

For 5800x you kinda do

[winged lion]

wait thats one thing

[formal girder]

Its a 5800x a miniature sun

[fossil cedar]

^

[winged lion]

lol it's not incredibly hot

you can cool it with an fs140

still, hot though

[formal girder]

Try to take a bowl of boiling water then try to blow on it in Arizona weather then tell me its not burning itself to the point of evaporation lol i will never air cool a 5800x

[fossil cedar]

I mean technically but poor choice

[winged lion]

https://www.computerbase.de/2021-03/thermalright-frost-spirit-140-test/2/

[fossil cedar]

Paywall ;-;

[winged lion]

wdym

[fossil cedar]

Ohh nvm

It was an accept thing

[winged lion]

oh the cookies

[fossil cedar]

Just stuck in translate lol

[winged lion]

what

[fossil cedar]

@winged lion they tested that on a 1700x ;-;

[winged lion]

oh wait

oops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uZjp2a0tHY

this one is testing on the 5800x

[fossil cedar]

Yeah it's hitting around 85c ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Not very optimal

Especially with pbo the lower the cpu temp the higher it will boost

[winged lion]

def below throttle though

[winged lion]

ok thats true tho

[winged lion]

wait, in what testing

[fossil cedar]

This

[winged lion]

haven't been able to watch the video in a while

[winged lion]

no i mean what RPM and stuff

[fossil cedar]

Ohh you mean what bit

I cannot remember 1 sec

[winged lion]

thank

[fossil cedar]

Don't like these temps either

Keep in mind that's already with -15 offset

[winged lion]

ok so those temps are actually like 105c

[fossil cedar]

Not good temps anyway lol

[winged lion]

i mean, i do want to know temps without all core curve and just pbo

you are right though 5800x is a beast on oc

[fossil cedar]

Miniature sun

[sacred kayak]

How do you install the rear fan on the 4000x

What screws do I need

[formal girder]

How to make an easy bake oven (list Nzxt case, air cooled 5800x, ventus 3090, 1200w psu flipped inverted with fan pulling air from inside of case)

[clever eagle]

image not load?

[clever eagle]

agreed

[winged lion]

lol u forgor 11900k?

[clever eagle]

mini itx case with no vents
marshmello as thermal paste

[peak ginkgo]

Works for me

[clever eagle]

screenshot it

[winged lion]

you also forgor replacing psu fan with nf-f12 because noctua good

[clever eagle]

u forgot this psu

the fact thats its 3 usd and has a 2 year warranty

ok i got a better screenshot

[sacred kayak]

Oh thx I thought they didn't fit

The screws

[peak ginkgo]

You're welcome

[fossil cedar]

600w psu

[clever eagle]

@fossil cedar this

[fossil cedar]

[formal girder]

Bro dont use thermal paste

[topaz kestrel]

Imagine not having a 10000watt power supply

Losers!

[fossil cedar]

Best cooler

[topaz kestrel]

Thermal bacon

[sacred kayak]

What cables should I start managing?

PSUs cables, fan headers etc.

[sacred kayak]

First

[topaz kestrel]

Don’t manage just cram

Strat

[fossil cedar]

Just do it as you build

[sacred kayak]

Oh I'm done building

[topaz kestrel]

Then just put in the cables that need to be plugged in lol?

[sacred kayak]

Yeah ok

[topaz kestrel]

Make sure you actually plug them in

[formal girder]

Thats actually bologna

[topaz kestrel]

And don’t plug them into your dog

[sacred kayak]

Ok

[topaz kestrel]

Don’t eat the cables either

[fast dust]

I already had it.
This FTW3 3080 only spikes to around 500w anyways which leaves 150w for my little 3600 XT plus rest of my system, and I never 100% utilize the 3080 anyways

[fossil cedar]

I mean fair but ideally you don't wanna use more than about 520w of a 650w psu as it's better for life span and energy efficiency of psu btw

Surprised it doesn't trip

[fossil cedar]

Sorry thought it was an 80 ti as well

[fast dust]

Bruh I play valorant at 1440p 170Hz low settings the 3080 is a bit much for me lol

It gets 60% utilized maybe

I’m not boutta spend another $110 for a new psu when this one will work just fine for me

Unless there’s another $70 sale on a 750w Leadex III or something I’m sticking with this AMP

And I’m probably gonna undervolt a bit too for more added security

[fossil cedar]

Fair

[sacred kayak]

Omg

No no no

@fossil cedar do you remember when only the motherboard rgb turned on

Well it was fixed and now it happened again

It had something to do with the bios

What do I do?

[fossil cedar]

I cannot remember sorry ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest olive]

@mortal void if you want to improve that cable management try routing all of the front panel cables along the bottom of the mobo instead of using the bottom routing holes like this. best way to make matx in atx case look good imo

[proud galleon]

Was consider going from a 2070 / 3700x combo to a 3070ti / 10850k combo

is it a worthwhile upgrade if i’m fortunate enough to win a shuffle on newegg for the card? I game pretty heavily and love my graphics with performance when doable and want to move to video recording and editing in the near future

[earnest olive]

you can also try hiding that rgb strip along the top it would help hide/diffuse it and also help with the cable management

[earnest olive]

depends on the price, shuffle has been selling some cards for more expensive than scalpers

[proud galleon]

I found one today for a little bit less than 1k usd

[earnest olive]

i would say there's not much point in upgrading the 3700x

[proud galleon]

i usually wait until i see one that’s not in a combo

[earnest olive]

focus on the gpu

if you want a cpu upgrade wait until second gen ddr5

3700x is still very capable for video editing and it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to invest in a whole new platform

if you really want to get serious about professional video editing, a drop in upgrade to a used 3900x or even getting a 5900x would be smarter

i would not buy a 3070ti for 1k usd

3070ti offers like 5% more performance over the 3070 for 40% more power draw

i feel like 3070ti is the real black sheep of the ampere family and nobody talks about it lol

even worse than 3060

[fossil cedar]

Well what motherboard do you have? If it's a good one you could do a drop in 5900x upgrade

[earnest olive]

just look at these two builds i did, one with a 3070 and one with a 3070ti

[proud galleon]

i guess the only reason i thought about a platform switch is because i’m probably going to create a whole new system, ready to sell my matx build

[earnest olive]

3070ti winning by 2.9% lol

[fossil cedar]

If you needed more cores

[proud galleon]

i have the b550 tuf

[earnest olive]

and the 3070ti is running way hotter

[fossil cedar]

That's a good board

[earnest olive]

cause the power draw is so much higher

both oc to practically the same frequency

[proud galleon]

i guess at this at this point i’m looking at maybe just a gpu upgrade

i’m hoping i can find a decent deal on a dual fan card though to fit better in my build

not looking to top mount my aio again

[earnest olive]

3700x to 10850k would be a lot of money for a small upgrade on a dead end path

why not? top mount aio is superior

top mount aio gives you better gpu performance

[proud galleon]

in the corsair crystal 280x i’m not so sure

i’ve had better temps with the front mount

[earnest olive]

ah, a glass oven

[proud galleon]

yup

yet another motive for making a new build

want a mesh atx case

[earnest olive]

this actually upsets me LOL

[proud galleon]

something more low profile than my rgb mess

it was 2nd ever build and i thought it looked cool lmao

but i’ve managed to get over the aesthetics phase and now i want performance and low profile

[earnest olive]

oh i'm not upset at you

i'm upset at corsair

like come on corsair we know you hate making quality products

but don't you think this is taking it too far

no top exhaust... just a sheet of glass

no front intake... just a sheet of glass

💀

[proud galleon]

people suggest putting some type of washer to create more space

no thank you

[earnest olive]

may as well take off the glass panels so you have a functioning case

[proud galleon]

i used to have to with the top mounted aio

turned my room into a sauna

[earnest olive]

i went for an o11 cause i like the glass panel look but i'm not willing to sacrifice performance for it

bottom intake is superior anyways

having 3 fans blowing directly on my gpu does very nice things for the temp

[proud galleon]

i considered that case but i think i’m eyeballing the phanteks p400a

but also the o11 looks rlly good imo

[earnest olive]

i found a used deal on it for $100

would have a hard time justifying full price on it

p400a is a great case

[proud galleon]

i’ll definitely have to do more research but i’ll think about saving and investing a little more for a 5900x and possibly go for a little bit more than the 3070 ti

basically need to do more gpu research

[fossil cedar]

Just think of 3070 and 3070 ti as the same gpu btw just whichever you can get your hands on for a decent price

[earnest olive]

i'd argue the 3070ti is worse but i care about power draw

[hazy wadi]

Guys buy 4 3090s

[earnest olive]

40% more power draw for 5% more performance is not a good trade imo

[fossil cedar]

Yeah true but if you just ignore that lol

[earnest olive]

some people would happily ignore it but not me

3070ti is still worth buying if you get it at a very nice price

but i'd rather have a 3070 if i had the choice

[fossil cedar]

I mean beggers cant be choosers tbf

[earnest olive]

yeah i'm just saying in a situation where there was a choice between 3070 and 3070ti at the same price

i would personally pick 3070

[proud galleon]

if only i had this much to my name LOL

[proud galleon]

honestly if i can find any of the dual fan cards to fit in my current system for a decent price they would be ideal

[tawny violet]

@potent portal I just got a job
So I'm planning a 2000 dollar game build for 1440p
What's the sort of setup I can get away with (if a 3080 can fit into 2k, all the better)

[visual sun]

ive got a build for a 2070

i mean 3060

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9Vffqp

no operateing system

still saveing up for it myself

[earnest olive]

do dual fan 3070tis even exist

[visual sun]

yes

can u find one... no

[earnest olive]

oh

there is literally only one model of dual fan 3070 ti

and it doesn't sell in the US

well, except FE

but FE is super rare

[analog hearth]

i wish they made more single-fan 3070s

[earnest olive]

https://www.galax.com/en/graphics-card/30-series/3070ti-series/geforce-rtx-3070ti-oc.html

[visual sun]

reeeeee why

[analog hearth]

but idk how difficult that is

[earnest olive]

this is the only dual fan 3070ti besides FE

[visual sun]

why less fans?

[earnest olive]

leaf blower mode engaged

[ancient crown]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[fossil cedar]

You don't really want a dual fan 3070 tbh

[fossil cedar]

Yeah you can

[proud galleon]

yeah it was either that for my compact space heater of a build or a new build

[jagged ember]

3070 hotter than 2070

[fossil cedar]

You'll want to get 3600 ballistix instead and change the case and get a larger aio if possible

[proud galleon]

personally was looking at a new build but gpu stock is obviously an issue

[tawny violet]

3080 under 2 grand
While having to buy all peripherals?

unlikely

without peripherals tho
Oh hell yeah

[fossil cedar]

Didn't realize you meant including peripherals

[tawny violet]

I can get those later

Get a shitty-ass keyboard and reuse the very old mouse I have with my laptop

so I'll probably do that

[tawny violet]

okay if I include peripherals as well
What can be done
AMD is preferred in terms of CPU

[fossil cedar]

Do you need wifi etc?

[tawny violet]

it's a nice bonus, but not mandatory

[analog hearth]

i need a USB PCIe expansion lol

[tawny violet]

if it's like 20 bucks price difference, sure

[still roost]

BlAckH0le#3965 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tawny violet]

but if it costs a hundred more, hell no

[analog hearth]

i think a nice PCIe WiFi card is around $70(?)

[glacial umbra]

any recommendations for a 600-700w PSU for a 3060ti and 5600x

[formal girder]

Whats your budget?

[runic relic]

opinion on the samsung 980? 🤔

[glacial umbra]

80-100 USD

I'm fine going a bit over though

[formal girder]

Over priced for its performance

[little osprey]

Hey I have a sorta complicated question that's related to running 2-3 gameservers at once. DM me if you'd like to help (i dont wanna post it here because it's a lot of info and I dont wanna disturb any conversations)

[fossil cedar]

@tawny violet you could do something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mt4yGq

[fossil cedar]

Msi agf 750w

[little osprey]

ah, the good old fuma 2

[formal girder]

MSI MPG A-GF 750w is a perfect choice

Oh pato beat me again crud

[little osprey]

maybe you could help with my question lol

[formal girder]

If its based on running a server im not the one lol rip

[little osprey]

alright lol

its a little niche so yea

[fossil cedar]

Get a mushkin pilot e or sk hynix p31 instead

[tawny violet]

Crucial P2 1TB?

[glacial umbra]

@fossil cedar @formal girder thanks, almost exactly what I was looking for and it's on sale right now

[tawny violet]

it's cheap
But is it good?

[fossil cedar]

It's meh

[fossil cedar]

Np

P2 is pretty crap for the price

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YwptMv@tawny violet you could do this

[glacial umbra]

im already hooked back into PC building

and it hasn't even been a year since my first build

[fossil cedar]

It's fun

[glacial umbra]

fun and expensive, a bad mix lol

[fossil cedar]

Indeed

[formal girder]

Can confirm

[runic relic]

oh no i dont need anymore storage

just wanted to hear what yall think

[formal girder]

Yeah samsung isnt really worth it imo

If i ran up to a rock and slapped a samsung logo on it, the value would skyrocket but with no reasoning other than "Name"

[fossil cedar]

Ahh well yeah it's decent for 100$ but poor price

[idle nimbus]

woah

no one chatted here

for like 1 hour now

usually this chat is insanely active

W O A H H

[little osprey]

lol

[vague oracle]

Not really

[idle nimbus]

yes really

wdym

[vague oracle]

It’s fairly active but not really insanely

This chat is dead quite often

[fleet pagoda]

I screwed through some radiator fins is my aio broken lol

Or is it fine

[stoic island]

Uh

As long as it's not leaking

The fins are just metal fins, more important is that you didn't screw into the inside

[glacial umbra]

are AIOs difficult to install compared to a regular air cooler?

interested in getting one but I don't know if I wanna spend the extra time getting it setup

[hearty pumice]

Not really, same process, just you need to install the rad.

[fleet pagoda]

So is this okay?

[formal girder]

If its not leaking it should be fine

There will be performance difference but just hope it doesnt leak

[fleet pagoda]

Guess ill find out tmr if it leaks or not when my mobo comes

[glacial umbra]

alright, thanks!

[solid dust]

[queen heath]

@solid dust tell me did I get scammed and buy a rtx 3060 or is it a 3090? 🤣

[formal girder]

?

[solid dust]

Probably a scam

It’s most likely the box

That’s USD right

[formal girder]

Yeah thats usd

[queen heath]

Yea it’s usd

[fleet pagoda]

U deffo got scammed

[solid dust]

Msrp for that 3090 is like 1400 I think

So that’s very suspicious

[formal girder]

But its an open box product so it can be defective

[fossil cedar]

Thats a scam

[formal girder]

Msrp iirc is $1500

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[queen heath]

Wait give it a sec I’m tryna send a pic it’s slow as hell

[solid dust]

Could also just be the headspreader and someone bought it just for the pcb to put a water block on

[queen heath]

They have proof of holding gpu

[fleet pagoda]

Open box someone probably dropped it

Lol

[solid dust]

But they could mail the open box

[fossil cedar]

Then they gonna send you an empty box with a tracking number

[formal girder]

Could have missing thermal pads

[solid dust]

@queen heath is it an irl deal, or they mail it

[queen heath]

[fossil cedar]

That's a 100$ fix if you got someone to do it for you tbf no way in hell

[queen heath]

They’re gonna mail it

[solid dust]

That’s fake

[fossil cedar]

It's a scam!!!

[queen heath]

It’s a 3060 isn’t it?

[fleet pagoda]

Please do not buy that

[formal girder]

no its just box

[fleet pagoda]

There isnt gonna be a gpu inside

[solid dust]

That’s a 3090 box or just a 3090 heatspreader

[fossil cedar]

It says 3090 in the listing but it's not gonna be a 3090

[formal girder]

Lol watch there be a Gtx 1030 in there

[fossil cedar]

Most likely a 3090 empty box or nothing at all

[solid dust]

I paid more than that for my msrp 3070

[formal girder]

My 3090 was $1600 so thats a scam you got on your hands buddy

[solid dust]

I wouldn’t go for that unless you want to pay 750 for a mystery box

Or it’s a printed picture trying to bait bots to resell

[queen heath]

Wait there’s more

[formal girder]

Lol imagine if it was real and some father was selling parts from his sons pc as punishment and guess how much it cost lol

Its a scam

[solid dust]

It’s probably a real card, but they won’t send you the real one sadly

[formal girder]

They can take all the pictures in the world but not send you the actual product

[solid dust]

^^

[wispy matrix]

turns out its a 2060

when you open the box

[formal girder]

Gt 710

[queen heath]

I’m just gonna return them with a gtx 1030 and sell the graphics card for close to msrp and make a profit.

Depends on what it is

[fossil cedar]

IT IS A SCAM sending more pictures for us to look at wont change that lol

[wispy matrix]

did you already buy it?

[solid dust]

Idk, I wouldnt even buy it, it’s allowing them to make money

I would just wait and buy a legit card from a retailer

[fossil cedar]

Then can ship you an empty cardboard box, and then disappear off of ebay

Not even the gpu box

[queen heath]

Oh no I was just saying if it’s a 3060 now I obviously see now we’ll then at least profit

[solid dust]

Or ship a picture of the card in an envelope

[formal girder]

Imagine 3d printing out the card and painting it

Lol

[fossil cedar]

You won't be getting a graphics card if you buy that ;-;

[solid dust]

That’s a very thin slab of ice, I would just buy one legibly

Legittly

Legitimately

iPhone autocorrect

[fossil cedar]

Don't buy it just buy a legit scalped 3060 at that price ;-;

[queen heath]

I already bought is the thing which really sucks money back guarantee tho

[fossil cedar]

Start the refund process asap before the seller disappears off of eBay imo

[queen heath]

Your right might as well wait for 3080 to reach msrp or $1k at least.

[little osprey]

hey guys to remove preapplied thermal paste what is the best type of alcohol

[fossil cedar]

You can get 3080s for 1k

[wispy matrix]

vodka

[fossil cedar]

Anything 80% and up

[little osprey]

[fossil cedar]

Way too low and full of water

[queen heath]

Where 1k is pretty rare these days people pulled it up to 1.5

[fossil cedar]

Rubbing, isopropyl,

[little osprey]

thanks

[fossil cedar]

#graphics-cards pins

Np

[queen heath]

So I have wait for drops or something on the channel?

[jovial radish]

so my m.2 drive is detected in m.2 port 2 but not m.2 port 1, which the manual suggests to use

it's fine since both the second port and drive are gen 3x4 but kinda odd

[celest horizon]

Honestly, just a paper/shop towel takes paste off well enough. Don't need iso, but might as well get it clean if you're only mounting once every few years.

[little osprey]

what about the little fibers that paper leaves?

[celest horizon]

It's not hard not to leave many, won't matter

[jovial radish]

paper towel doesn't leave much behind at all

[celest horizon]

If you really want, you can buy the low lint shop towels for like $3 a roll

[jovial radish]

in fact a dry wipe the first time will get a pretty good amount of the paste off, then you can use iso to get the rest

[celest horizon]

If you do use iso at all - do this

[jovial radish]

don't use toilet paper

lol

[potent portal]

No-lint Microfiber is ideal

[glacial umbra]

should I get a 31' monitor or 27', for 1440p

[idle nimbus]

e

[formal girder]

27 inch would have a better feel imo

Wait... Your saying 31 foot not inches cause '-is foot "-is inches

[glacial umbra]

my bad lol

you know what I mean

so 27 then?

[little osprey]

yeah

it feels pretty comfortable

from my personal experience my 27inch curved dell monitor feels pretty big and is perfect to get the jjob done

[glacial umbra]

I'll grab a 27" then, it'll take a bit more saving but it'll be worth it

[little osprey]

how many hertz are u looking for

[glacial umbra]

144

[little osprey]

nice thats what i use

[glacial umbra]

[little osprey]

[glacial umbra]

idk how to shorten links lol

[glacial umbra]

all good

oh that's 1080p

[formal girder]

Get a Gigabyte M27Q or something in that name

[little osprey]

but secret upscaling 😈

but if ur getting a 1440P or higher monitor dont get the dell one

[formal girder]

The M27Q is brilliant monitor choice

[glacial umbra]

https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_700_1104&item_id=173546

is this decent?

it's G27Q

M27Q looks good too

and it's only a little bit more expensive

[formal girder]

M27Q will do what you wish but im a little unfamiliar with the G variant of it

[glacial umbra]

I might go for the M27Q then

[potent portal]

Here's a quick comparison

[formal girder]

Its so much better and wonderful for 1440p gaming

[glacial umbra]

basically same price but the M one looks better

[glacial umbra]

M27Q it is thanks

[formal girder]

M performs better

[glacial umbra]

alright cheers!

[abstract pike]

I got half my PC today! The case, cpu cooler, and monitor. Everything else comes tomorrow. I'm am very excited

[stoic island]

nice

[glacial umbra]

nice! send your parts list, what'd you get?

[abstract pike]

MY PC

CPU: 5800X
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra Gaming 8 GB
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz (2 x 8 GB)
STORAGE: 1 TB M.2 ssd, and 2tb HDD
PSU: 750W psu
MOBO: TUF X570 Gaming Plus WIFI
CASE: Lian li lancool II mesh rgb
CPU COOLER: Scythe fuma 2
MONITOR: Tuf VG27WQ 1440p 165hz
KEYBOARD: iKBC CD108 v2

and it came with a free copy of battlefield 2042, and a extra mouse

The ram I would have gotten the cheaper ripjaws or vengeance, but it came bundled for about the same price as those.

The entire thing cost $2500 ($2680 ish with tax)

with bundles and sales i got about $700 USD off
.

i cant help but want to take everything and open the case and open extra pieces bags and start building it. except i dont have the internals of the pc to build it with

all i got open is the monitor because my family wanted to see it, and i checked to make sure it works. and i got the case out of the box and just sitting wraped up in the plastic cover to save space

[plain grove]

Where are the motherboard screws supposed to be because they weren’t in my motherboard

[cursive tusk]

Which screw bag for mobo

[plain grove]

Bottom left

[cursive tusk]

Check the case for any boxes

Mine was inside the hdd bay

[plain grove]

Pc case?

[cursive tusk]

ye

[plain grove]

Alright

[desert gulch]

I really hope you get the updated version of that x570 or have a compatible cpu

[full atlas]

Motherboard box😩

[desert gulch]

X570 plus wifi has no bios flashback sadly

Even tho at it's price point it def should

[abstract pike]

a 5800x is a am4 socket. and i checked, it will be updated on arrival

[obsidian wigeon]

Socket doesn't matter, it's the bios

[stoic island]

it was released p early but yea

[desert gulch]

Yeah it's all bios
