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
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
If you care about RGB the Lancool II Mesh comes stock with 3 ARGB fans that are actually pretty decent
I would love to add some RGB, I’ve always wanted a really lit up case and stuff
I was looking at Corsair stuff, sure!
The 4000d airflow and 5000d airflow are both really good
But then don’t come with RGB fans
It’s so pretty
I moved the stock fans to the back and top
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
P400A if ya wanna save dem muns
Personally I’m not a fan of the P400A because of the side panel mounting
The choice really depends on if you want the option to top mount a 360 rad or not
I guess here
As much air and eventually water if that helps as possible going though there would be great tbh
Are you planning to custom loop?
It's like 80 iirc
I don’t need water atm, it would be cool tho
And it works like a charm
How cold can I get my components while running?
Basically one of the best performing and value aio cpu cooler in the market
I know the normal operating temp is like 80 Celsius
Well, it depends on your case, airflow, fan setup and specs
80c is normal, but it's on the higher side
Both my CPU and GPU are running at about 50-60 C load
60-70 would be what I want in a desktop
The lower the better, but don't overspend on cooling
On a good day by gpu is in high 40s under load
nice
New pads/paste and better airflow and that’ll be a lot better
That’s an even worse H510
Yeah it’s an oven currently
I see why there’s only 1 exhaust
There is no intake whatsoever
It’s a vacuum in there
I have a spot for an intake up top lol
And on the bottom but idk if that’s a good idea
Ah right
So you want to push all the hot air out the top and push cool air in through the front
Exactly
Or from the bottom in the Lancool’s case because the bottom flap is completely mesh
Wow. My case is amazing. It does absolutely none of that
That’s what those 2 fans are under my gpu
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?
Lord
I am making a EZ Bake oven
It runs A LOT hotter
And a nice cooler
Sips’ was running at around 90C
Reason: Bad word usage
Jesus
AIO is optional but optimal
I could heat my room with that
You can get like vetroo v5 or id-cooling se 224 xt
Arctic Freezer II 360, Lian Li Galahad, or EK-AIO are all the best options
I guess the stock cooler prolly doesn’t do much?
Wow
What have I gotten myself into lol
So, I guess I probably need to look into cases and coolers now too lol
It's zen 3 for ya
Stock cooler is good enough for a 5600x
I have the new motherboard and Ram
Bit toasty but good enough
Well it'll run toasty
I haven’t tested it but demonmit said it will work fine
I will probably run it on the stock cooler untill I find something that will keep it chilly
That is damn hot
It won't kill it, just hot
The 3 AIOs I mentioned earlier are all around $150
That’s not too bad I guess
5900x runs cooler tho
I need to get a list of all the stuff I want to do on my PC, and get it in order and prioritized
Damn, that’s pretty good I’d say
But yeah
Perhaps
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
nice
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
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*
anyone knows why there a white light on my motherboard
it turn to red when the cpu tempterature was 99
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.
ASUS Prime B560M-A
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
They're tiny but these should be the lights
what does it mean xD
Here's what the manual says
what do i have to do
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.
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
Right by your front panel headers is this
Probably, but it'll be on and annoying
so i just have to do this and it will be gone ?
There's RGB controllers that don't need a RGB header, either with their own remote or through the USB 2.0 header
Idk what any of that means, but sounds cool I guess lol
Probably. You'd need to turn on XMP/DOCP and do whatever other stuff you've done in bios again after.
o i get it now since it will reset it
Thanks
i will do it after finishing today's classes
:3 ty
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
is a 750 watt psu enough for a 6900xt + 5800x? i will try to overclock the 6900xt
damn, well i guess ill just straight up get the new 2021 rmx 1000watt just for future upgrades
Please critique this build. It's not mine
CPU, Ram and mobo are all bad
Lemme show ya something
5600X is both cheaper and better than 3700X, assuming gaming
Yes I am just getting some people to agree with me
@obsidian wigeon but why is the Mobo bad
Is r5 3200g and b450-m ds3h good for some office work and like surfing
It's expensive for what it gives
Just get 3000G tbh if all you do is that
B550 tomahawk?
Honestly 2200g and 3200g are the same pricd
People say I should get intel igpu but there arent any here soo
There's tuf b550 plus wifi
Also well, If 3000G is possible
Just get it if you don't even game, but 3200G is fine too
He says he needs something fast and stable with like 500gb ssd
Just there if possible to squeeze into the budget
3000G is enough
Just focus on the ssd
Is that to me or?
ye
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
the psu is meh but it won't pop with such little load kek
at best it'll probably draw 100w
i thought pato helped you already
Yeah just wanna see what other ppl think
He says its good he found some used parts but meh its not safe
i would listen to pato he is good with it
Used is fine
My dad doesnt like it
cpu, mobo and ram, those are stuff that's fine with used
but ah well, that's a shame
i dont think so
Hmm
Idk
Myb I should see some 250€ prebuilts
There can be some good stufc
This is 175€ 
PSU will pop when I run chrome but hey its alright
I hope that isn't one of the fake 750s
If not then that's not terrible for the price
Have an build for 5600 xt with that cpu?
AOC 24G2Uey
ey
I have built a pc for 345 euros
RYZEN 3 3200G
A320M-S2H
HYPER HX FURY 8GB 3200MHZ DDR4
PATRIOT BURST 120GB SSD SATA 3
HDD SATA3 7200RPM HDD 1TB TOSHIBA
CROSAIR VS450 450W PSU
Reading this I noticed that when I add pc case for 25euros its same price as the other pc i built
what country are you in
bosnia
doesn't have a pcpartpicker dropdown 😔
yeah
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
i cant find anything good but cheap here
429 is the lowest I can go
If I go lower pc will be trash
Might aswell go for console or smt 😅
Even my school computer's parts are better
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
There is no 5600xt cpu, 5600x? And 5600x isn't good enough to stream off of if you don't have at least a gtx 10 series card
get a 1650 super or smt
Well that's easy to say but they selling for dummy numbers
Well if you can find a Z490 with the bios updated then you dont need z590
Just wont have same performance tho but idk
Hardly any boards on Intel have flashback and bar asrock boards cuz not good, some z590s are cheaper and better
No there won't be a perf diff
Oh i wasnt sure about the performance
is a 3000g athlon enough for office use?
Yeah but if they can get an i3 instead would be optimal
i want cheap power consumption
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?
want gen of i3 should i pick
11th gen i3 exists?
What country are you in
I3 10105
but athlon cost less than i3
Yeh country matters for suggest
Thats 10th gen not 11th gen
athlon sucks
That's why i said if you can
iwant to build 23 pc
It's for office
What?
yes but actually no
?
its 10th gen but launched with 11th gen
Oh hmm
It's 10th gen refresh but launched with 11th
but the f version has no igpu
yes
u think athlon enough or?
@warped canyon what country are you in?? We can't really give recommendations without pricessssssss
23 blades of grass?
is just for excel n word
It will run but i3 will be a lot better
why u consider i3 much better?
What country are you in
What's your budget and country??
???
it all depends on that
Better
Reason: Duplicated text
lmao
Finally
same
Australia
prices for everything are scuffed
20% more for an i3 is deff worth it
but my boss is fkn sht
yea thats true
which i3 tho
@warped canyon what's your budget?
Lol
u think psu on pc case good or fireworks?
hi ur infected too
theovirus gets us all
I am protected from the theovirus ha
im too dumb to get the theovirus but i still got it
LMAO
Then im doomed
not a thing
is it fortnite limited edition psu
lol
10000watt psu for $3
I just thought my level of idiocracy could save me but guess not
i thought so too
athlon 3000g 8gigs memory, 500 hdd, 128 ssd, n cheap case with psu
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/wzWdK3 @warped canyon
wait whats ur budget again?
150-200
facebook marketplace then
Okay so you're trolling
yeah
me or .han.
Han
yes
the chat died
oi
can you build me a pc (600$ :) )
Aren't definitely not in the us?
usd?
ye

10000w
GO BUILD ME A PC @clever eagle
pato makes them best >:)
he is 100% already doing it lol
lmao
😫
sorry 😭
lol
Aren't you in like somewhere in asia tho lol?
GO BUILD
so you want a pc not in your country?
nope i can search it later
?!?!?!
you realise if you just tell him the country he can just make one specified to you lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n8wnYg @kind vortex im bad at setting a budget
welp ok
you can save $50+ if you get these
ok
lmao
and where tf do you find those
i can get you a 10000000 mah powerbank for 12 bucks
🙃

i know it sucks
no dgpu
atm?
yap
just get that 3090
it a decent price
30 day money back garantee
5600g it is
i didnt know US prices were scuffed too
scalper
ah
they are everywhere
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?
freezer 360
yes, it will
the psu sure is overkill for what it is
ye :/
but imma just leave it there cause upgrade room
best to buy a psu once and not need to swap
once you have money for a gpu or something
ok
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
ok
And that you gotta spend more muns
Yup
thats where the technique "cramming cables" comes in handy

lol


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

If i catch someone cramming cables im sending them back to the middle ages so fast with a backhand
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
Id take flight to your location and cable manage your arterys
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
Segotep psu, 3600cl16 ram and metallicgear neo atx or cougar mx330
Just go with crucial ballistix 3600 C16
It's basically best value
There's rgb version too if you want
crucial best in the world!
@obsidian wigeon Thanks. I will check it out.
Yeah the qvl is nothing to worry about, I'd recommend this instead though https://pcpartpicker.com/product/njvqqs/crucial-ballistix-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k8g36c16u4w
anyways pato idk why i didnt just ask here but is that gpu any good?
I use crucial ballistix 3600mhz cl16 and it cant be any better
What gpu?
It's a good 570 model
POG
Depends what price it is
4 gigs is eh but whatever
i guess ill go with that instead of the 550 then
Yeah price?
fair
asus strix cards are always good
but when they were new
they're also expensive compared to others
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
Nope oven
Ye
is this a joke
Ye
Small cases usually doesn't have mesh
@topaz kestrel why do you want matx anyway?
idk why but it's the way it is
idk i just like it
All you save is vertical space
^
i hate the long look lol
Then get compact atx
it doesn't look long irl
i prefer smol boi
well for compact atx cases
my atx atm is pretty long
ill look at it 1 sec
that ones not that bad
wait
1s
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/8nt9TW/lian-li-lancool-205-mesh-atx-mid-tower-case-g99oe764x00 maybe ill just go with this
since its the same design just bigger
Yeah that's fine now
also the arctic p14 are the exact same than the arctic p12 but bigger right?
Kinda
sick one
so they are decent fans right?
cus ik the p12s are giga chad fans
ye ik but the p14's are actually pretty cheap for a 5 pack
which is nice
so i thought i may aswell
Bitfenix nova mesh is also nice option for the uk btw
Big p12s yes
I like white cases but I fear I'd get em dirty real quick
i saw that but the weird lines behind the mesh look odd lol
im going for a full black build
Yeah ik
I understand that
ye white is expensive
Might drop again
yeah ik
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/boiledgoose/saved/6DTGP6 @fossil cedar so this is fine (obviously have to change the case)
lol i forgot that was its name
xd
Why do you need so many fans
212 eh
No se 224 black in uk
anywas there is only gonna be 5 in the pc
:/
anyways*
Gammaxx 400
Vetroo v5
Fs140
Fuma 2
Mugen 5 rev b
Pa120
i dont want rgb
Add them in later if you need them, ATM you'll be better off getting better stuff now
So don't plug in the RGB
this is gray
There's a Mugen 5 black edition
Would have said but they want plain black lol, and already suggested vetroo v5
and its cheap
it looks awful
Performance matter more than looks anyways
as long as i get 60fps and my pc doesnt kill itself idc lol
One is quantifiable, one isn't ;p
too big of a word for me to understand
Do you need storage?
Okey
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/fsQnYg just removed the fans and changed the case basically, case already comes with enough fans you don't need more
Just don't plug in the rgb
the fans are white not plugged in
Or get case without rgb fans
well i wanted the non mesh version which apparently has decent airflow to the reviews i watched and looked at but being told its an oven made me chose that
I got my refund money, yay!
@topaz kestrel consider this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/rmcrdD
The non mesh doesn't have decent airflow lol
the closer it gets to when im buying it ill consider the cases, just waiting for the i5 to go down in price and hopefully find a cheaper 570
Alrighty we are gonna go pick the chip up at Microcenter later today, yeet we
nice
Good luck
hyper 212?
POG! Which one?
5600X
Gud
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
products on amazon or newegg is preferred
pricing in CAD
It's just dirt cheap pcie wifi card, any of them will work
SU800, or SN550 if you have a m.2 slot, both looks to be 60cad
yeah i didnt see a m.2 slot in the pc from a quick look in
They want only black and no rgb and no se 224 black
For the same price you could get a v5 and p12 but yeah of whatever
It's a bit more but yeah i never thought of that
Yea cause the hyper 212 mounting clips are a pita if you ever have to take them off
Horrible design
Sips knows lol
lmao the 128gb model is 55 dollars cad while the 256gb model is 40 cad 
on amazonca
HEAT SINK TECHNOLOGY
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?
er, i was using the opera gx built in webpage screenshot thing, it had the blur tool which is quite useful. it's all manual blurring
Oh cool, I figured it was manual but still a nice feature
Thats bout right lol, honestly 128gb and 240gb are just bad choice to buy because they're usually 10$ less than 500gb
it's $20 more expensive in cad
😔
from 256 to 512
would it even be worth it to go to 512gb
that pc is almost 100% certain to not have any games installed
Depends on the ssd but usually totally worth
Doesn't matter if it has games or not, storage is good to have for any system lol
it's the adata su800
Yeah go for the 500
also that desktop isnt really going to store anything, plus it already has a hdd with the current windows install on it
she has a laptop supplied from her work for her work purposes
Depending on the controller used a larger drive could be faster too
is it possible to install windows for free with the media creation tool?
just with a flash drive
im just going to get the 256 gb since a smaller bill will look better for "the client", and im not getting much information about what specific controller is used on each size of drive on the adata site, nor the cache sizes
yes, you'll just have a watermark if you dont register your windows install after like 3 days
it would be on the bottom right corner of your main monitor
so I pay on the microsoft website for a key?
also you would have some reduced features, but it will still be windows
yes, or you could buy a key off somewhere like ebay for cheap
ok
usually those are like OEM keys or such though, which means you might not be able to transfer it to another computer
but it's usually quite cheap so it would be worth it
as long as you dont change your pc often at least
Yep there's also ways to remove the watermark without paying
How you do that is not within my knowledge but someone here will know
There's some pretty easy ways to do it using registry editor, bunch of tutorials online
yes
you just lose some features
Mobo and psu Fans spinning but not graphics. What to check? I am using the igpu. Afraid it's the cpu
wdym by mobo fan?
Oh cpu
Oh, could be the fan curve idk
Oh I mean no display
I5 6500
Yes just don't activate it
Or you can get it for 20$ here if you don't want the watermark https://www.urcdkey.com/microsoft-windows-10-pro-oem-cd-key-global_1966-20.html
That is not legal afaik ;-;
ok. Can I turn my pc on and get into the bios if everything is plugged in except for the gpu. my cpu has ig
@obsidian wigeon
Ok it works
nice
If you cpu has integrated graphics yes
But I broke my CPU cooler ;(
oof
well rip
If you can afford like 30 bucks for a new cooler, it'd be nice but still that's sad to hear
What about the cpu cooler is broken?
If the fan died you can just slap a new one on
The mounting things
ah that sucks
Ok now I can get into bios but the USB drive just boots into a black screen.
is it the USB drive?
Yes
The boot image is corrupted then
Re image the drive
^
use tape to keep it on!
ok whatever the flashdrive was just broken or something
@topaz kestrel Thermaltake Versa H18 TG is a decent full front mesh micro ATX case
It's not much smaller than an atx case in actual size but it's a micro tower nonetheless
idk
Bruh eBay keys are like 1/4 the price
And can get deactivated cuz they're volume licence keys and illegal
Meh just buy another then
When they're 1/4 the price you can buy 4 and still be at same cost of your link
I'd rather have the real legal one or just use with watermark
I updated to WIN11 to get rid of the win10 watermark 

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
Lots of eBay keys are actually OEM keys
Pretty sure there's something in the clause somewhere that makes it illegal
A lot are volume licence keys too
Whatever it's not like you'll be charged or arrested for buying one
Who even cares about legality tbh
Record labels care. And then use illegal tactics on top of their heavily stacked deck of legal ones
Question 1660 super or 3060
Rip fans
Even better try for the 3060ti
How'd you manage that?
Cheap fans, budget power supply
Not sure which component actually did it but I'm replacing both
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
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.....
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
Iirc, it's been a bit
A couple things may be slightly off with my instructions, but I promise you it's a really easy process
Sharing how to pirate stuff is against server rules. Don't do it here
When I get home, I need to find my windows key I got with the computer, or I’m gonna have to spend another 140 dollars on a new key
Reason: Bad word usage
is netgear a good company for home network solutions like multiport switches?
windows 10 key doesnt have to be purchased btw you just have a watermark or you can buy for like 20$ here https://www.urcdkey.com/microsoft-windows-10-pro-oem-cd-key-global_1966-20.html
it can also be reused from an old pc
I don’t have an old PC, this is my only one
I wish I was made of money so I could afford multiple though lol
i mean you can just leave it unactivated anyway
Why would I do that? I need the software
to feed all of these internet from one router how would you do that? and would one router at 940/940 Mbps be enough for a household of 8?
Wdym? It lets you use windows, only reason to pay for Windows is to remove the watermark, it works perfectly fine without a key
The watermark is the logo isn’t it?
he is right, all 3 of my brothers dont use an activated version and outside of the watermark in the bottom right and its a bit harder to set a wallpaper you can still do it.
maybe I should just stick to cars, PCs are money pits
Ooh
I can say right now a little logo is not worth 140 dollars
this is the main thing a key makes go away.
insert mandatory free operating system plug here
Okay
1660 supers are significantly better for mining
No, the 3060 is better for mining pretty much any algorithm
1660 supers (plural) yield better hash rate than 3060s (plural) per watt
No they don't
In other words, they are efficient than 3060’s
3060 should be more efficient in pretty much any mainstream algorithm
A 3060 doesn't have significantly higher power draw than a 1660s
They aren’t for ethash
I just upgraded from a 1660s to a 3060, increase in power consumption under full load was marginal, 10-20W
No it says please activate windows or something
Oh, okay
Completely incorrect
It is true for ethash
Source?
Which is the only algorithm that matters right now
Also incorrect
To most people at least
what algo you should use depends entirely on what card you have
For example, if you have an lhr card you probably shouldn't use eth
Obviously but given how etherium is most profitable right now, most people that are mining will be using ethash
This is the same reason why that algorithm is the only one that was limited by lhr vbios
Eth is probably not most profitable on lhr cards
Exactly
And the 1660 super is not an lhr card
It can pull 32 MH/s on 86W
3060 lhr still beats a 1660s on eth
Demolishes it on any sensible algorithm
3060 non lhr obviously demolishes it
This is incorrect
Prove it
3060 lhr maxes out at 27 mh/s
What wattage?
90
@brittle copper proof right here
In this video put the original RTX 3060 head-to-head with the revision 2 aka LHR RTX 3060 on Ethereum (using the latest T-Rex Miner LHR unlock), Ravencoin, and Ergo to see what is and isn't limited in performance.

And then if you bring in any actually sane algorithm to run, the 1660s just dies
No competition
It can maybe trade blows if you shoot the 3060 in the knee, in a fair fight it gets pancaked
woah the 3060 beats it...
So let's make the same comparison, the most efficient algorithm on the 1660s vs the most efficient on the 3060
So from the video I’m seeing 34 Mh/s at 103 W with LHR
Ya know, the comparison that means something useful
And mining eth with lhr isn't as profitable as other algorithms....
You legit picked the worse algo for lhr and it still wins
32 MH/s at 86W(1660super) is more efficient than 34 MH/s at 103W(3060)
Where are you getting those numbers for the 1660s?
Cause I got 32 @ 90W with no tweaks on my 3060, which is virtually identical
Lemme get the links hold on
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
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
Looks like 34 @ 82W after optimization?
I see 33.71 at 77W towards the end of the video
Wait my eyes are bad that’s 33.21
my mistake
So that's still within reasonable variation of my 3060
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
I don't mine on my 3060 lol
I’m just saying the 1660 super is more efficient in ethash
I just benches it for grins and giggles
I see
Also, Bob, tried optimizing it and seeing hashrate?
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
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
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.
Ok ty I'll go check it out
We all know how the silicon lottery is, it's possible I got lucky and the dude in the video got a dud
Silicon lottery is fun
Also, what about 3060 with the beta drivers that didn't have lhr?
An absolute slaughter
Mmm
Those are kinda hard to find though
Two different dies, one is locked down independent of the drivers
Oh interesting
Wait
Are you talking about the cut down ga104 version that came out recently?
Most of the 3060 on the market should still be the og ga106 version
Dunno the exact SKUs
When I get my new case I really want to take the time and tune those GPU
Talking about this

Okay, so I’m looking into the windows 10 activation thing, and it says it is linked to my Microsoft account, so I still need to find the key for when I install the new motherboard?
Does anyone know what this code means. I have looked it up and it is ethier telling me tpm is on or it is reserved for future codes?
It is an asus motherboard
Okay, so I do, l need to contact my hardware manufacturer. Interesting
Swapping one part in a build will usually keep the key activated
depends on the motherboard but id recommenced cleaing cmos
shorting the two pins?
yup or unplugging pc and removing battery
for a few pins
im swapping a new motherboard, CPU and RAM
so it seems it is code to state tpm is on, i enable tpm and the code turns on. Do you know how to get that display to display(LOL) the cpu temp, i heard you could do that?
Did you get it to boot I'm a bit confused?
yeah, it was booted just fine before, sorry i did not clarify that, just wondering what it meant.
No idea lol
me too, supposledly means tpm is enabled, kinda like aa
Their Mobo prolly has a button for it too since it's a higher end board
Well i didn't know what mobo
Weird that it shows up as an error code, sorry i assumed it wasn't booting because of that code
well, it is an unassigned code
It's in their name kek
Well i didn't really see the e, could have been any x570 lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Lol
Hello, Costumer support for Newegg has led me here, I need help finding a laptop with some requirements for school. Is anyone willing to help me here?
sure
Can I DM you here (build-chat) the specs? @hearty pumice
sure
we could also go to #tech-deals-discussion
Reason: Duplicated text
It wasn't duplicated text
you can also dm me in my messages
Ok, that is much better ;D
hey guys quick question, my asus prime b550 randomly beeps with no set intervals and at random times, any ideas? i havent noticed any patterns and sometimes it wont do it all day but then do it a couple times the next day
reseat your ram
Geek squad has kept me waiting for an hour, dad found a program that scans my system and can hopefully find my windows 10 key lol
usually it wont randomly beep, unless its faulty
it will be a code telling you smth is wrong
This is probably the hardest part of the PC upgrade, new mobo and all that, after all this, it’s downhill from here, I’m proud of myself for trying to tackle it
I mean there's tutorials on how to do it using terminal
Or you could link it directly to your Microsoft account
Or you could find it in the about section of the settings iirc
But as long as the program isn't malicious you're good
I’ll try that thank you
np
It’s linked directly to my Microsoft account, I just need the key for when I go to restart the thing for the first time with the new components
dont mind me over here balls deep in a complicated (for me) part of my PC upgrade
😂
I’m a brave soul for venturing this far lol
The media tool....
Have you done the command prompt?
You don't really need to if it's linked to your Ms account
It'll automatically activate a new computer when you log in
I don’t????? 👀
That's how it worked for me
When I switched from my laptop to my desktop
All I did was log in on the desktop
But it’s stored on the motherboard, which I’m changing
Are you using an OEM system?
I guess? I’m new to this if y’all can’t tell
Dell, HP and etc... are OEMs
Oh, no lol
It’s IBuyPower which is shite
First ever gaming pc, gotta start somewhere
You can usually use command prompt to get the Windows key if you are really concerned
Okay so this uh windows media tool
Whaaa
Oooh, download somewhere to re install it later
So @jagged ember say I change the components out, mobo, CPU and RAM, and boot the computer, Windows 10 will still be there and all I have to do is log in?
I am going from DDR3 to DDR4 if that helps lol
I guess, I've never done something like that with Windows 10 though, so I dunno personally
Microsoft has a page for hardware changes if that helps
Learn how your Microsoft account can help you reactivate Windows 10 after a significant hardware change.
Yes I read through all that lol
Key has been obtained
We are starting the swap
Unplug PC, then unplug the fans and such, take lots of pictures, then unplug the GPU, then unscrew the mobo, and ye
I guess I’ll update y’all when I get into it a bit
Ffs, I just now found the case number and model
God
How do I disconnect my 24 pin connector?
Got it
Lol
I think the cpu connecters are worse. Any time I have to do anything regarding them I have to shove my hand into a tiny corner to try and get them out or unscrew the motherboard to get access to them
Yes
when I took apart my grandma's laptop I labelled and segregated a lot of the parts and screws lol
mostly just numbered both on the container the part is in and the spot on the machine it came from
Motherboard fits!
I’m currently re-installing my aio
Can someone confirm if this is good placement?
Oh shoot I can’t send images
***t o e s ***
very fascinating, beautiful toes.
no wrinkles at all.
XD
jkjkjk
nice pc u got there
looks sick
what gpu?
@little osprey
Don’t get NZXT build it’s a little overpriced for what it is
Plus you get the oven and overpriced kraken
Huh
Okay
Ive beem wanting a pc for so long but people keep telling me this place then its bad idk where to buy frome
We do be making progress
