#

Probably gonna cost the same cause denser nand does save costs

long rock
#

Ive spendt enough on my current stage of upgrades lol, the plan for the next stage is going to be a new case and peripherals

#

And prolly throw the SSD on there too

vague oracle
#

Lancool II Mesh is such a nice case

#

What’s your current case?

obsidian wigeon
#

I prefer P400A/P500A digital myself

#

n also 4000D/5000D, airflow versions

long rock
#

It’s an IBuyPower case, no model that I can tell of, lemme go find a pic of one

#

I need a lot more air moving though that case though

#

I currently only have an exaust fan

#

Looks like this but the front doesn’t light up anymore sadly

vague oracle
#

If you care about RGB the Lancool II Mesh comes stock with 3 ARGB fans that are actually pretty decent

long rock
#

I would love to add some RGB, I’ve always wanted a really lit up case and stuff

vague oracle
#

Want me to send a pic of my build?

#

Example of the Lancool

long rock
#

I was looking at Corsair stuff, sure!

vague oracle
#

The 4000d airflow and 5000d airflow are both really good

#

But then don’t come with RGB fans

long rock
#

It’s so pretty

vague oracle
#

I moved the stock fans to the back and top

obsidian wigeon
#

P500A is also an option

#

But it could look ugly to some

vague oracle
#

Yeah the P500A is also an option but it’s more expensive by $30

#

Only benefit is that you can top mount a 360 rad

obsidian wigeon
#

P400A if ya wanna save dem muns

vague oracle
long rock
#

I guess here lol

#

That looks awesome

vague oracle
#

Personally I’m not a fan of the P400A because of the side panel mounting

long rock
#

cries in poor lighting

#

That is a really great case though lol

vague oracle
#

The choice really depends on if you want the option to top mount a 360 rad or not

long rock
#

I guess here

#

As much air and eventually water if that helps as possible going though there would be great tbh

vague oracle
#

Are you planning to custom loop?

obsidian wigeon
#

An aio is enough for most cases tbh

#

280mm Freezer II is less than 100

long rock
obsidian wigeon
#

It's like 80 iirc

long rock
#

I don’t need water atm, it would be cool tho

obsidian wigeon
#

And it works like a charm

long rock
#

How cold can I get my components while running?

obsidian wigeon
#

Basically one of the best performing and value aio cpu cooler in the market

long rock
#

I know the normal operating temp is like 80 Celsius

obsidian wigeon
#

Well, it depends on your case, airflow, fan setup and specs

#

80c is normal, but it's on the higher side

vague oracle
#

Both my CPU and GPU are running at about 50-60 C load

obsidian wigeon
#

60-70 would be what I want in a desktop

#

The lower the better, but don't overspend on cooling

vague oracle
#

On a good day by gpu is in high 40s under load

obsidian wigeon
#

nice

long rock
#

Bloody hell thats nice

#

My GPU sits around 85 under load

#

👀

vague oracle
#

New pads/paste and better airflow and that’ll be a lot better

long rock
vague oracle
#

That’s an even worse H510

long rock
#

Yeah it’s an oven currently

vague oracle
#

I see why there’s only 1 exhaust

#

There is no intake whatsoever

#

It’s a vacuum in there

long rock
#

I have a spot for an intake up top lol

#

And on the bottom but idk if that’s a good idea

vague oracle
#

Intake up top is bad because it’s fighting the hot air

#

Hot air always rises

long rock
#

Ah right

#

So you want to push all the hot air out the top and push cool air in through the front

vague oracle
#

Exactly

#

Or from the bottom in the Lancool’s case because the bottom flap is completely mesh

long rock
#

Wow. My case is amazing. It does absolutely none of that

vague oracle
#

That’s what those 2 fans are under my gpu

long rock
#

Ahh

#

Are you water cooling too?

vague oracle
#

Yeah my CPU had an AIO on it

#

GPU is air cooled

long rock
#

Oh cool

#

I’m guessing my 5600X I am ordering sometime in the near future runs a lot cooler than my FX6300 I have now?

obsidian wigeon
#

No

#

It runs hotter

long rock
#

Lord

obsidian wigeon
#

5600X is pretty dense in heat

#

So yeah, defo needs case swap

long rock
#

I am making a EZ Bake oven

vague oracle
#

It runs A LOT hotter

obsidian wigeon
#

And a nice cooler

vague oracle
#

Sips’ was running at around 90C

still roostBOT
#
GM 2 Ton Specialist | DaveBeee#7165 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

long rock
#

Jesus

obsidian wigeon
#

AIO is optional but optimal

long rock
#

I could heat my room with that

obsidian wigeon
#

You can get like vetroo v5 or id-cooling se 224 xt

vague oracle
#

Arctic Freezer II 360, Lian Li Galahad, or EK-AIO are all the best options

obsidian wigeon
#

They're like 29 bucks for starters

#

Should do okay

long rock
#

I guess the stock cooler prolly doesn’t do much?

obsidian wigeon
#

But aio is recc

#

Ya

#

Stock cooler is not enough

long rock
#

Wow

#

What have I gotten myself into lol

#

So, I guess I probably need to look into cases and coolers now too lol

obsidian wigeon
#

It's zen 3 for ya

vague oracle
#

Stock cooler is good enough for a 5600x

long rock
#

I have the new motherboard and Ram

vague oracle
#

Bit toasty but good enough

obsidian wigeon
#

Well it'll run toasty

vague oracle
#

I haven’t tested it but demonmit said it will work fine

long rock
#

I will probably run it on the stock cooler untill I find something that will keep it chilly

obsidian wigeon
#

But amd says it's ok even at 90c

#

It's just toasty

long rock
#

That is damn hot

obsidian wigeon
#

It won't kill it, just hot

vague oracle
#

The 3 AIOs I mentioned earlier are all around $150

long rock
#

That’s not too bad I guess

vague oracle
#

The Freezer II is keeping a 5900x around 50-60C load

#

I’d say it’s pretty good

obsidian wigeon
#

5900x runs cooler tho

long rock
#

I need to get a list of all the stuff I want to do on my PC, and get it in order and prioritized

obsidian wigeon
#

Less dense

#

5800X is the hottest out of the lineup

long rock
#

Damn, that’s pretty good I’d say

obsidian wigeon
#

But yeah

vague oracle
#

5900x runs hotter than a 5600x I’m pretty sure

#

5600x<5900x<5800x

obsidian wigeon
#

Perhaps

long rock
#

Priorities?

#

And I added RGB under that lol

#

Better

#

I need to check on that return status I think on the 3600X

#

So it says Return Compleated

#

Completed

obsidian wigeon
#

nice

long rock
#

So I guess the money has been returned to me then

#

Oh and a desk pad mousepad thingy, I need to add that

#

I need a Bluetooth chip thingy too

#

I want to commit wireless keyboard and mouse

long rock
#

So, I’ve been looking in build pictures for inspiration on how to clean my space up, and I think moving my tower on top of my desk would be a good start, then gruadually getting wireless stuff, and rbg lighting

#

RGB*

calm heron
#

anyone knows why there a white light on my motherboard
it turn to red when the cpu tempterature was 99

potent portal
#

Which board? That's probably some sort of warning light if I had to guess. There's usually about 4 in a row there that show status during POST, and sometimes when the system is running.

calm heron
#

i guess its a warning light since it turn to red when the temp was 99

#

but what does white means

#

temp now is 31

#

but the light is still there

potent portal
#

They're tiny but these should be the lights

calm heron
#

what does it mean xD

potent portal
#

Here's what the manual says

calm heron
#

what do i have to do

potent portal
#

It seems it found some sort of error, maybe do a cmos clear and see if that fixes it

#

I think it might be warning you about the CPU having been over-temp before and wants you to fix that. A cmos clear will clear error history.

calm heron
#

reset cmos ?

#

can i just leave it ?

long rock
#

God, I’m sitting here scrolling though everyone’s cool builds all lit up and stuff, idk what to do about mine, like, I wish I had more stuff that lit up, I ordered DDR4 for then new board but it doesn’t have RGB, idk, I’m kinda sad about my PC now

potent portal
#

Right by your front panel headers is this

potent portal
calm heron
potent portal
long rock
#

Idk what any of that means, but sounds cool I guess lol

potent portal
calm heron
#

o i get it now since it will reset it

#

Thanks

#

i will do it after finishing today's classes

#

:3 ty

long rock
#

I guess I’ve got all the time in the world to make my build how I want it

#

It’s my first computer, I’ve had it for a few years, I guess it takes awhile for most people to get a nice established setup

#

Ugh, I guess I’ll just go to bed lol, I’m probably tired, it’s been a long day

void mango
#

is a 750 watt psu enough for a 6900xt + 5800x? i will try to overclock the 6900xt

obsidian wigeon
#

I suggest 850

#

MSI A-GF is pretty cheap for 850w

void mango
#

damn, well i guess ill just straight up get the new 2021 rmx 1000watt just for future upgrades

dense field
#

Please critique this build. It's not mine

obsidian wigeon
#

Lemme show ya something

#

5600X is both cheaper and better than 3700X, assuming gaming

dense field
#

Yes I am just getting some people to agree with me

#

@obsidian wigeon but why is the Mobo bad

potent plinth
#

Is r5 3200g and b450-m ds3h good for some office work and like surfing

obsidian wigeon
#

It's expensive for what it gives

obsidian wigeon
dense field
#

B550 tomahawk?

potent plinth
#

Honestly 2200g and 3200g are the same pricd

#

People say I should get intel igpu but there arent any here soo

obsidian wigeon
#

There's tuf b550 plus wifi

potent plinth
#

Yo i meant r3 3200g

#

Sorry

obsidian wigeon
#

Also well, If 3000G is possible

#

Just get it if you don't even game, but 3200G is fine too

potent plinth
#

Its for my dad

#

He is using 2008 hp office pc so he wants a new ond

#

One

obsidian wigeon
#

ssd is optional

potent plinth
#

He says he needs something fast and stable with like 500gb ssd

obsidian wigeon
#

Just there if possible to squeeze into the budget

#

3000G is enough

#

Just focus on the ssd

potent plinth
#

Is that to me or?

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

potent plinth
#

R3 3200g
Hyper HX Fury 8gb DDR4 2666mhz
B450-M DS3H Gigabyte
ThermalTake LitePower 650w RGB
Gigabyte ssd 480GB sata3
Pc Case anything for like 25euros

#

That build is 370€

#

New with warranty from best shop

obsidian wigeon
#

the psu is meh but it won't pop with such little load kek

#

at best it'll probably draw 100w

wispy matrix
#

i thought pato helped you already

potent plinth
#

Yeah just wanna see what other ppl think

obsidian wigeon
#

Well then just listen to pato

#

He's great with it

potent plinth
#

He says its good he found some used parts but meh its not safe

wispy matrix
#

i would listen to pato he is good with it

obsidian wigeon
#

Used is fine

potent plinth
#

My dad doesnt like it

obsidian wigeon
#

cpu, mobo and ram, those are stuff that's fine with used

#

but ah well, that's a shame

potent plinth
#

Yeah

#

Is 370€ good price

#

For my build?

wispy matrix
#

i dont think so

potent plinth
#

Hmm

#

Idk

#

Myb I should see some 250€ prebuilts

#

There can be some good stufc

#

This is 175€ stonks

#

PSU will pop when I run chrome but hey its alrightYawy

potent portal
#

I hope that isn't one of the fake 750s

#

If not then that's not terrible for the price

potent plinth
#

Yeah

#

But I do not plan to buy that lol

ionic osprey
#

Have an build for 5600 xt with that cpu?

potent plinth
#

AOC 24G2Uey

#

what country are you in

potent plinth
#

bosnia

lyric thistle
#

doesn't have a pcpartpicker dropdown 😔

potent plinth
#

yeah

lyric thistle
#

Dirt Cheap Build :)

#

idk if you'd be able to get the parts in it but it's a list

#

at the desired price either

potent plinth
#

i cant find anything good but cheap here

#

429 is the lowest I can go

#

If I go lower pc will be trash

little osprey
#

Even my school computer's parts are better

fossil cedar
#

Fair enough lol

#

11400 if the price wasn't wack in the us, for intel budget you go 10400 or straight to 11600k in the us, but 5600x is cheaper than 11600k cuz 11600k needs a z590 board

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

get a 1650 super or smt

fossil cedar
#

Well that's easy to say but they selling for dummy numbers

formal girder
#

Just wont have same performance tho but idk

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
formal girder
#

Oh i wasnt sure about the performance

warped canyon
#

is a 3000g athlon enough for office use?

fossil cedar
#

Yeah but if they can get an i3 instead would be optimal

warped canyon
#

i want cheap power consumption

fossil cedar
#

I3 will still be cheap power consumption

#

Computers aren't very expensive so run anyway

#

What country are you in?

#

And what budget you have?

warped canyon
#

want gen of i3 should i pick

fossil cedar
#

10th/11th

#

But it depends on country

formal girder
#

11th gen i3 exists?

fossil cedar
#

What country are you in

fossil cedar
warped canyon
#

but athlon cost less than i3

frank stirrup

Yeh country matters for suggest

formal girder

why u consider i3 much better?

it all depends on that

just get that 3090

unless 11400 happens to be cheaper in where you live

the us? nah

30 day money back garantee

Whitch is better, arctics liquid freezer II 360 or NH-D15?

Oh and, will the arctics liquid freezer II 360 fit in cooler Master masterbox TD500?

kind vortex

just put a AIO in it

#

or some badass fan

obsidian wigeon
kind vortex
#

gotta say not a bad build

obsidian wigeon
#

the psu sure is overkill for what it is

kind vortex
obsidian wigeon
#

but imma just leave it there cause upgrade room

kind vortex
#

dont why a 750w

#

650 would be enough tho

obsidian wigeon
#

best to buy a psu once and not need to swap

#

once you have money for a gpu or something

kind vortex
#

ok

formal girder
#

Swapping psus can be a pain and emotionally hurt after all that wonderful cable management you completed you have to undo and redo with new cables.. Yeah ughh

obsidian wigeon
#

And that you gotta spend more muns

formal girder
#

Yup

topaz kestrel
formal girder
topaz kestrel

lol

formal girder
topaz kestrel

imagine you had a house fire and the only thing that got destroyed was the cable ties on your pc

formal girder
#

If i catch someone cramming cables im sending them back to the middle ages so fast with a backhand

topaz kestrel
#

ok i guess i wont do that in my next build

#

if i showed you the back of my pc rn you'd prob die

formal girder
#

Id take flight to your location and cable manage your arterys

lone orbit

Hi. I have a question about memory - cpu compatibility - I do not find this specific memory on the AMD QVL, but it's the memory that NewEgg includes with the default build. Will this work, or is there better route to go at roughly same price point?

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
Mem: G.SKILL Ripjaws Model F4-3200C16D-32GVK

ya it was lazily done

There's rgb version too if you want

crucial best in the world!

lone orbit
#

@obsidian wigeon Thanks. I will check it out.

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

#

Like what pato linked

topaz kestrel
#

anyways pato idk why i didnt just ask here but is that gpu any good?

formal girder
#

I use crucial ballistix 3600mhz cl16 and it cant be any better

fossil cedar
#

What gpu?

obsidian wigeon
#

It's a good 570 model

topaz kestrel
#

POG

fossil cedar
#

Depends what price it is

obsidian wigeon
#

4 gigs is eh but whatever

topaz kestrel
#

i guess ill go with that instead of the 550 then

obsidian wigeon
#

Yeah price?

topaz kestrel
#

like 150 ish

#

i forgot

obsidian wigeon
#

not bad

#

it's just fine, but pretty decent for 2021

topaz kestrel
#

thats all i need im going for 60fps on apex lol

#

so idrc about higher than that

obsidian wigeon
#

fair

topaz kestrel
#

idk why i always pm pato about stuff instead of asking here

#

ll

#

lol*

obsidian wigeon
#

asus strix cards are always good

#

but when they were new

#

they're also expensive compared to others

topaz kestrel
#

yeah

#

asus name

#

anyway s

#

ik this is a boxy boy

#

but is it decent?

#

i really like the look and idm if its a little hot

#

lol

obsidian wigeon
#

Nah

#

Blocked off front, big ew

#

Look for cougar mx330 ngl

topaz kestrel
#

that looks ugly lol

#

so long

obsidian wigeon
#

Just anything that has mesh front will do

#

But not non mesh front, nah

topaz kestrel
#

i am so mad

#

the case comes in atx with mesh

#

but not matx

fossil cedar
#

Ye

topaz kestrel
#

is this a joke

fossil cedar
#

Ye

obsidian wigeon
#

Small cases usually doesn't have mesh

fossil cedar
#

@topaz kestrel why do you want matx anyway?

obsidian wigeon
#

idk why but it's the way it is

topaz kestrel
#

idk i just like it

fossil cedar
#

All you save is vertical space

obsidian wigeon
#

^

topaz kestrel
#

i hate the long look lol

fossil cedar
#

Then get compact atx

obsidian wigeon
#

it doesn't look long irl

topaz kestrel
#

i prefer smol boi

obsidian wigeon
#

well for compact atx cases

topaz kestrel
#

my atx atm is pretty long

fossil cedar

Like the p360q

#

A*

topaz kestrel
#

compact atx?

#

tf is that lol

#

atx mini tower?

#

nop

obsidian wigeon
#

then

#

look at focus g mini

#

it's matx

topaz kestrel
#

thats kinda ugly too

#

idk why

#

bruh im so picky

#

wtf

obsidian wigeon
#

if you're so picky then rip

#

meshify c?

topaz kestrel
#

ill look at it 1 sec

#

that ones not that bad

#

wait

#

1s

#

since its the same design just bigger

obsidian wigeon
#

Yeah that's fine now

topaz kestrel
#

also the arctic p14 are the exact same than the arctic p12 but bigger right?

obsidian wigeon
#

Kinda

topaz kestrel

i would like recommendations for a dirt cheap pci or pcie wlan card (it will be used for a cheap office pc, workload on it really is just going to be web browsing and youtube probably)
also a dirt cheap sata ssd (500gb or lower, it just needs to be enough to install windows and maybe a few software stuff) for a boot drive for that same office pc

Sounds accurate, since the smaller capacity drives are out of production and that's probably a third party seller.
Heat sinks on wifi cards help if you like to do torrents and other heavy use tasks.

i think this was the cheapest wifi card with amazon prime on amazon ca that also had people buying it

Nice strategic censor btw, what program did you use for that?

it's $20 more expensive in cad

would it even be worth it to go to 512gb

that pc is almost 100% certain to not have any games installed

it's the adata su800

also that desktop isnt really going to store anything, plus it already has a hdd with the current windows install on it

it would be on the bottom right corner of your main monitor

so I pay on the microsoft website for a key?

also you would have some reduced features, but it will still be windows

yes, or you could buy a key off somewhere like ebay for cheap

quaint swan
#

ok

dusky hearth
#

usually those are like OEM keys or such though, which means you might not be able to transfer it to another computer

but it's usually quite cheap so it would be worth it

as long as you dont change your pc often at least

# fossil cedar That is not legal afaik ;-;

i dont see why it wont be legal, microsoft is the one who gave you the "demo" of windows, so it's not like you're pirating it, all you are doing is editing the registry, and not even reverse engineering the OS which would be illegal

Cheap fans, budget power supply

Idk about others, but it seems this power supply only has OCP on the 12v rail
Because as soon as the melt reached the first 12v pin the power supply shut off and it stopped burning.

So I’m headed to Microcenter to get my 5600X, should I ask about a Windows 10 key aswell since I need to re download it?

You got a USB drive?

Not that I’m aware of

little osprey
#

Windows install is like 100usd
An adequately sized USB drive is like ten dollars tops and a keygen is free
It's up to you, but I think most people are gonna recommend you just pirate windows rather than pay for it

Pirate windows.....

#

Enlighten me

I guess I could buy a USB aswell

little osprey

If you have a working PC rn and a USB drive with at least 16gb free you can download the windows install straight off their website, boot from it on the new PC, and then when it asks you for a registration key google "windows 10 keygen" and copy the code when the windows installation wizard asks for it

Okay

brittle copper

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

No they don't

brittle copper
#

In other words, they are efficient than 3060’s

sand falcon
#

3060 should be more efficient in pretty much any mainstream algorithm

#

A 3060 doesn't have significantly higher power draw than a 1660s

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

I just upgraded from a 1660s to a 3060, increase in power consumption under full load was marginal, 10-20W

fossil cedar
long rock
#

Oh, okay

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

Source?

brittle copper
#

Which is the only algorithm that matters right now

sand falcon
#

Also incorrect

brittle copper
#

To most people at least

fossil cedar
#

still true for 3060 LHR

fossil cedar
sand falcon
#

For example, if you have an lhr card you probably shouldn't use eth

brittle copper
#

This is the same reason why that algorithm is the only one that was limited by lhr vbios

sand falcon
#

Eth is probably not most profitable on lhr cards

brittle copper
#

And the 1660 super is not an lhr card

#

It can pull 32 MH/s on 86W

sand falcon
#

3060 lhr still beats a 1660s on eth

#

Demolishes it on any sensible algorithm

#

3060 non lhr obviously demolishes it

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

Prove it

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

Interesting, that's false

#

I clocked mine at 32 with no tweaking

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

90

fossil cedar
dense field
sand falcon
#

And then if you bring in any actually sane algorithm to run, the 1660s just dies

#

No competition

fossil cedar
sand falcon
#

It can maybe trade blows if you shoot the 3060 in the knee, in a fair fight it gets pancaked

fossil cedar
#

woah the 3060 beats it...

sand falcon
#

So let's make the same comparison, the most efficient algorithm on the 1660s vs the most efficient on the 3060

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

Ya know, the comparison that means something useful

fossil cedar
#

You legit picked the worse algo for lhr and it still wins

brittle copper
#

32 MH/s at 86W(1660super) is more efficient than 34 MH/s at 103W(3060)

sand falcon
#

Cause I got 32 @ 90W with no tweaks on my 3060, which is virtually identical

brittle copper
sand falcon
#

If it was after optimization the 1660s probably loses

#

Fwiw, my 3060 is also a bit choked for airflow, so take that into consideration too

brittle copper
# sand falcon Cause I got 32 @ 90W with no tweaks on my 3060, which is virtually identical

This dude got 34 Mh/s at 77W on his 1660 super https://youtu.be/OIKSPpmpUNc

In this video I show you how to get 34 mhs on a GTX 1660 Super while mining Ethereum on your GPU. This works for 1660 supers with Hynix memory and we do it by easily flashing the bios on the graphics cards to a newer version that allows the Ethereum mining hashrate of the 1660 super to reach 34 megahash per second. In the video I start by showin...

#

Not the link I was looking for

But its something ig

sand falcon
#

Looks like 34 @ 82W after optimization?

brittle copper
#

Wait my eyes are bad that’s 33.21

#

my mistake

sand falcon
#

So that's still within reasonable variation of my 3060

brittle copper
#

I don’t get why people always get so insecure about their purchases

#

I’m not saying it’s bad

#

I never even implied that

sand falcon
#

I don't mine on my 3060 lol

brittle copper
#

I’m just saying the 1660 super is more efficient in ethash

sand falcon

I just benches it for grins and giggles

Not yet, hasn't been worth my time

Might be fun one day if you have extra time

#

Yee

But well, can't just say 1660 super is more efficient than 3060 considering this example of stock 3060 vs tuned 1660 super

I have a question might seem silly I'm really new to buying stuff online and what not but if you go through the PC builder on the Newegg website or app do they build it and send it to you or are you just selecting parts and they send it to you and you have to build it yourself

sand falcon
#

It might be marginally better in the one comparison where the 3060 is nerfed to all heck, but it's gonna be within reasonable variation

stoic island
#

For the PC builder on Newegg, there's an option for ENIAC to build it for you, with a build fee, or you can buy each part separately yourself and build it yourself.

We all know how the silicon lottery is, it's possible I got lucky and the dude in the video got a dud
