There's a blue light on the power button

[prime birch]

And when you push the power button nothing else?

[hidden oracle]

Nothing

Oh and the leds on the fans are working (except the CPU one)

[jagged ember]

I'd just return and ask for another

[jagged ember]

least cost and risk

[hidden oracle]

But I didn't bought a warranty

[jagged ember]

you know product returns?

[quaint swan]

Anyone that got a gpu from evga waitlist, how long did u have to wait?

[jagged ember]

within 30 days of purchase if it doesn't work you can exchange it for another?

[quaint swan]

I’ve waited 1 1/2 months already and no notify

[hidden oracle]

Oh hum okay

I'Il ask for one then

[jagged ember]

yeah, like orange said you shouldn't be expected to troubleshoot it yourself

[hidden oracle]

But I'Il try to go to a computer shop

[quaint swan]

Maybe it’s bc I put in 1 notify for a 3060ti and one for a 3070 at the same time

[prime birch]

@hidden oracle make sure the CPU power cable at the top left is fully plugged in. Try unplugging it and then fully plugging in

[hidden oracle]

Uh okay

[jagged ember]

but then you'd spend extra money, no?

[hidden oracle]

Maybr

Maybe

But

[jagged ember]

what's stopping you from returning it to where you bought it

i don't understand

[hidden oracle]

It's just that I don't want to wait and all the stuff

[prime birch]

Something is probably just loose. It's a lot of work to rma and send something back

[hidden oracle]

It's annoying

[jagged ember]

well, it's your choice in the end

[hidden oracle]

Yeah but you're probably right

[jagged ember]

so i can't really say much else haha

[quaint swan]

Yo @jagged ember

[prime birch]

Try replugging in the 8 pin CPU cable top left like I mentioned. Very possible CPU isn't getting power

[hidden oracle]

Okay

It's hard

I cant unplug it

[prime birch]

It will probably be hard with the CPU cooler in. If you can't unplug make sure it's fully push in and seated

[hidden oracle]

Yeah it is

[prime birch]

@hidden oracle you can also try clearing CMOS. Unplug the computer and then take out the little battery. Leave it out about a minute. Put the battery back in and plug back in

[hidden oracle]

I'm not very handy with computers to be honest

I don't want to mess with everything

[prime birch]

That's the only other basic thing I can suggest. It's not hard. Just removing the button. Battery under your GPU. Otherwise you're stuck taking it somewhere or RMA it. Good luck

[jagged ember]

Don't do it if you're not comfortable

and certainly don't pry it out with a screwdriver

[prime birch]

...thats the easiest way to get it out 😂

[jagged ember]

that's how you scratch the traces on your mobo

and cause unexplainable errors or death

[prime birch]

Lmao. I use a screwdriver every time.....still alive

[jagged ember]

well, i wouldn't reccomend it for a total newbie

speaking from experience, i've stabbed my motherboard trying to do that

thankfully it was fine, but you won't always be so lucky

[prime birch]

If you don't have motor skills don't do it

[jagged ember]

theres a little latch on the side you can push anyways

[hidden oracle]

I'Il just return it

How much time does it take?

[obsidian wigeon]

idk

It can take a week or more

[little osprey]

sort of looks like a hospital helicopter right?

if it is, i hope whoever was in it is alright 👀

[runic flare]

Can someone help? https://twitter.com/hardmanios/status/1445992232817885184?t=ny5vtr6HAB-XzJIUDisKKA&s=19

hardman (@hardmanios)

My PC monitors randomly black screen then say "no signal" whilst my pc is still on and I can hear audio for 5 seconds then it disappears. Anyone know what the issue is?

Twitter · Oct 7, 2021, 5:59 AM

It was happening when I first got my pc then went away after a month for a month, just came back 30 min ago out of nowhere

Didn't touch or change anything

It's just keeps happening

Everytime I restart it happens again

[little osprey]

So I have a question, can u use Samsung 980 Pro ( Gen 4 ssd ) with ROG STRIX Z490-F Gaming motherboard? (i5-1600k cpu)

[fossil cedar]

Yes but it won't work at gen 4 speeds, I'd recommend an sk hynix p31 gold instead

[fossil cedar]

Are you running ant overclocks?

[runic flare]

Yes on the GPU but temps are fine

[little osprey]

then ill go for 970 evo plus.

[fossil cedar]

Did you stress test the overclocks?

[fossil cedar]

I'd get the sk hynix p31 gold if it's available in your region but go with Samsung if you want

[runic flare]

Yes I also just reset it and the same thing happened

[little osprey]

it isnt available

thats why i will go for 970 evo plus

[fossil cedar]

Fair nough

[little osprey]

legit 980 pro costs only 50euros more than 970 evo plus

[fossil cedar]

I'd recommend using ddu in safe mode and reinstalling your graphics drivers

[fossil cedar]

Unless you're doing video editing or lots of moving large files 980 pro isn't worth it as sequential speeds, the marketed fastest number means nothing to most People

[little osprey]

oh

btw, do u know any good 750W psu's?

that are under 100$

[fossil cedar]

What country?

[little osprey]

Latvia

i said $ cause itll be the same price in euros anyways

[fossil cedar]

Can you order from Amazon.de ?

Or what sites would you use to get pc parts?

[little osprey]

balticdata.lv

I found Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 V2 full modular, but idk if its good

[fossil cedar]

It's good

[little osprey]

oh aight then

When i checked it at pcpartpicker website. It says the motherboard usb3.1 type A header is lacking to utilize the casing's front usb port

[fossil cedar]

It doesn't have conflicts but i would change the power supply its not great(fine but if you have a 6900xt you want it on a great power supply) and it's a bit low wattage

[summer yew]

How much power you would recommend then?

850W?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah, I'd also recommend a power supply from the a tier in this list https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40/

[summer yew]

Which rail for my case?

First time hearing multi rail and single rail

[fossil cedar]

Either multi or single rail, as long ws its a tier tbh

@summer yew , did is it a typo, or are yu getting 2 GPUs?

[summer yew]

No no, just one

Rx 6900xt only

Ahh i just notice it now

It is a typo 🤣

[dense sparrow]

Why 3070 barely in stock even if it’s not in msrp?? Why 3060ti mostly come in

[tight sorrel]

🤣 cool. Sick build, but as mentioned a more powerful PSU.

[summer yew]

All that left is the motherboard, i don't want another fried or lacking header 🤣

[idle nimbus]

i went to washington dc a month ago and i saw the helicopter flying in the air which the presidents use

and i even saw it land in the white house's lawn

like the big plot of land there

it was really cool

i even saw it over the tidal basin

[obsidian wigeon]

supply is also short lol

people keeps buying em despite the insane prices

[dense sparrow]

i barely see 3070 but mostly 3060ti is in

[obsidian wigeon]

Hm odd

[analog hearth]

chip shortage because nobody is working to make chips

[tight sorrel]

@frank stirrup, thats not a build... thats a proto-build 😆

[fossil cedar]

I'd recommend msi b550 gaming edge wifi or asus tuf b550 or asus b550 rog f or gigabyte b550 aorus pro/elite or msi b550 tomahawk, that should give you enough choice

[summer yew]

That, between strix b550-f and b550-a. I cannot find much difference

[frank stirrup]

Ill send pic later with it built

[tight sorrel]

do eeeet!

[cloud grove]

Anyone here running a 5950x under water? Just getting weird temps coming from a 3950x. Under 60c during a 20 minute long R23 loop, but on the desktop, just using normal app with 8-15 cpu utilization, I can see temps spike to 68. I know it’s a synthetic load, but it has me thinking I have a bad Mount, or paste application. pbo2 work well for anyone?

[potent portal]

That's just a really hot chip. With PBO on it can pull 250-300W.

I'd recommend lowering your voltage offset a bit

[cloud grove]

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been reading. Just seeming off to me for being under water. I’ll try pbo2 and see where it gets me. I don’t need 5ghz spikes on the desktop 😐

[fossil cedar]

Those temps are good

[earnest olive]

zen 3 is a lot hotter than zen 2

also, your fan speeds and pump speed is likely a higher constant value under load than on desktop

[cloud grove]

Even with an open loop? I’m just not used to seeing temps like this. I rarely, if ever hit 60 on my 3950x and that was after a 24 hour, 100% utilization, real work load

[earnest olive]

which is why your idle temps might spike more

[cloud grove]

I have my d5 running at 100% and same with the fans

[earnest olive]

to give you a point of comparison

[stoic island]

also might want to hit it with something worse than r23 for stress testing

[earnest olive]

my 3600x would do 70c in prime95 under a 360 aio and a mesh case with 7 fans

5600x with exact same cooling setup would run 90c

[potent portal]

68 is fine like Pato said but I still say lower your offset (do negative if you need to, I get better results from a negative offset than any positive one)

[earnest olive]

in cinebench the numbers were more like 60c on the 3600x and 75c on the 5600x

zen 3 just runs hotter

68c is already incredible

[potent portal]

I hit 90 on my 5800X even after tuning, but I'm only on a 240mm

[earnest olive]

also, amount of time you've been running the workload doesn't matter that much, temps usually hit steady state in a few minutes of sustained load

worth noting that the 5800x runs hotter than the 5950x and 5900x

[potent portal]

Which is why I want to open loop my system

Which I can finally do now that I have a FE model gpu

[stoic island]

For air coolers, it tends to be around 3min or so, AIOs, up to around like 8min, perhaps up to 15min with a big open loop before it reaches steady state (GN testing)

[cloud grove]

Yeah my single core temps went up to 65, and that’s a 20 minute run. I’ll play around with pbo2 when I get a little time. I knew the 5950x would run hotter since it’s hitting 5ghz single core, just thought I’d be a little lower on temps. Yeah I understand the heat soak, just have 2 30mm 360 rads. Was just expecting better I guess. My 3080ti temps are amazing, but my cpu is just throwing me off

[earnest olive]

man

my 5800x is under the best 360 aio

[stoic island]

(not actually best, freezer ii better w offset mount)

[earnest olive]

and it hits 90c and thermal throttles in about 4 seconds in prime95

it's within margin of error isn't it

[stoic island]

Freezer ii without offset mount is within margin of error

[potent portal]

Depends who you ask, VRM fan is nice at that load

[stoic island]

offset mount gives it a bit more margins

[earnest olive]

ah

my vrms never get hot so I don't care about the vrm fan

[stoic island]

Like ek-aio freezer ii galahad all close enough in general

[earnest olive]

vrms chilling at 40c in prime95

[stoic island]

but freezer ii with offset mount nice for Ryzen

[cloud grove]

Yeah I have an open loop, d5 at 100% and 10 fans at 100%. I’ll do some other benches. Haven’t seen cpu temps like this since I ran Intel extreme lmao

[earnest olive]

asrock board with good vrms 😳

[stoic island]

efficient vrms op

[little osprey]

the board i got for free yesterday is actually an asrock x99 extreme6 board lol

I plan on OCing the 5820k i got with it soon too

Although im gonna get an AIO before then, likely the 240 CLC since its 70 bucks rn

[earnest olive]

the asrock z370 extreme4 I used was garbage

[stoic island]

clc is nice if you don't mind the noise

asrock tends to be bad on Intel for some reason but yea

[little osprey]

yea i use it in my personal system and im pretty happy with it

[earnest olive]

the CPU temp was fine but vrms would hit 110c after 30 mins of prime95 and then the CPU would throttle back to base clock

[cloud grove]

I just got the dark hero, and so far, I like my x570-e better.

[stoic island]

ACTUAL APPLICATION OF FREEZER II????

[earnest olive]

with 2 fans blowing directly next to it

yeah freezer ii would have helped

because bad vrms

lol

[little osprey]

i was just thinking that, but then i was like, "would it really even do much?"

[stoic island]

Perhaps it's time for you to invest in a freezer ii

[earnest olive]

with my current board I couldn't care less about the vrm temps

but then again

[little osprey]

might as well jsut get a 5 dollar 80mm fan and ziptie it above your vrms

stonks

[earnest olive]

maybe freezer ii would provide some ram airflow lol

[stoic island]

lmao yea if you oriented it the other way

[earnest olive]

my ram is fine as is though

[stoic island]

but reve doesn't really care

[earnest olive]

eh

not completely true

[stoic island]

well

you're doing like 9999c1

:p

[little osprey]

seems legit

[earnest olive]

actually

it's not frequency or cas that destabilizes

[stoic island]

terts

always the terts

[earnest olive]

my tRFC destabilizes at 63C

nope, tRFC is a secondary

[stoic island]

sad

[earnest olive]

63C never happens under a real workload, only tm5 with 100% GPU load

but I fixed it anyways

by using argus monitor to set case fan curve off of ram temp as well

[stoic island]

I wonder if like memtest86 or tm5 would make the ram run hotter

or just like loop aida64 bandwidth test

[earnest olive]

I can pass anta x arshia config now

[stoic island]

arshia made a config?

[earnest olive]

yeah

it's a modification of anta

which is why it's called anta x arshia

[stoic island]

huh

What does it do?

[earnest olive]

it's more intense and longer than extreme1

my ram takes just under 1 hour to finish extreme1

[stoic island]

ah

[earnest olive]

but anta x arshia takes 7.5 hours

[stoic island]

damn okay

[frank stirrup]

Did it

[formal mauve]

@brazen berry my bad didn’t know you couldn’t reply in that chat but thanks it took a few months trying to find components that were all white I wanted the rgb gpu cable so bad and I didn’t find out that you can actually take it apart easily until after I bought multiple after market cables only for it to look bad until I came up with that idea

[brazen berry]

Okay cool

[tender zodiac]

how long is that live build going to be? lol

[mortal mural]

dumb question but can i have 2 ssds?

[desert gulch]

Depends

Sometimes and sometimes not

[little osprey]

You almost always can. Just make sure you have enough sata ports left for it if it's a sata ssd, or enough pcie lanes/m.2 nvme slots if it's an nvme drive. Or a m.2 sata if it's an m.2 sata drive.

[mortal mural]

ok i just dont know cause im new to this im trying to get a ssd i just dont know if i have the materals

its a wd black nvme ssd i just need to see if i have the spot for it

[stoic island]

What motherboard do you have

[mortal mural]

intel core i5-10400f

[topaz kestrel]

Honestly just get the sn550

[topaz kestrel]

…

What motherboard

That’s a cpu lol

[mortal mural]

lmao im looking hold on

[topaz kestrel]

Just send a picture of the specs

[topaz kestrel]

Please tell me you are joking

@mortal mural type cmd in the search bar in the bottom left and when you open it type “wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer”

Then send that

@mortal mural you done that?

[kind vortex]

i think he done that

[mortal mural]

Lenovo 3717

Sorry I went to the restroom

[topaz kestrel]

Are you using the legion t5 prebuilt?

[mortal mural]

Yes

Only thing changed is ram

[topaz kestrel]

It has 1 m.2 slot

So I’f you aren’t using an m.2 you can

I recommend sn550 we

Wd*

@mortal mural you should also open your Xmp in your bios and fix your ram speed

[mortal mural]

I was only getting the wd black nvme ssd cause it had the space I need and the bf 2024 download

[topaz kestrel]

Sn550 has space

It’s also cheaper

@mortal mural what country are you from us uk or somewhere else?

[mortal mural]

Oh yeah I saw that on Amazon too

I’m from the US

I’m just not big into computers

[topaz kestrel]

https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-sn550-nvme-1tb/p/N82E16820250135

That should be fine

[mortal mural]

Alr I’ll keep that in mind I’m just making sure my drive isn’t a nvme/m.2 drive

[topaz kestrel]

Open the back of your case and the front and if there is an ssd in there, then its not nvme

@mortal mural what graphics card is in your pc?

[mortal mural]

It’s a wdc pc sn730 nvme ssd so yeah the slot is used

[topaz kestrel]

I believe it already has a 512gb ssd

Thought so

@mortal mural you can always upgrade it or get another ssd running with sata

Or a harddrive

[mortal mural]

I’m checking my graphics card rn

[topaz kestrel]

@mortal mural you can also get an nvme enclosure but at that point I’d just get a 2tb hdd lol

[mortal mural]

160 super

[topaz kestrel]

Doesn’t matter anymore, I was checking for the type of ssd that was on the pc lol

[mortal mural]

Oh ok

Lmao

[topaz kestrel]

All t5 have a 512gb

Anyways just get either a hdd, an external enclosure for an nvme, or a sata ssd

[mortal mural]

Yeah I keep seeing a sea gate ssd on Best Buy but are those even good?

[topaz kestrel]

As in a sata drive?

[mortal mural]

Yes

@topaz kestrel is it cool to send a link to you?

[topaz kestrel]

Feel free

[mortal mural]

It leads to Best Buy and Ik that might be against the rules so should I just dm you it

[worn wave]

Why would that be against the rules?

Posting links is allowed?

it didnt have to be this way

Sli looked so cool

[viral ore]

ofc you dont need gpus to be in sli to use them

[plain grove]

Could I have 2 sticks of 8gb ram and 1 stick of 16gb ram?

[potent portal]

Theoretically yes

The long answer is much more complex

The short version of the long answer is XMP will set the lowest supported timings, and it may not work at all because of dies on RAM.

[obsidian wigeon]

It's either dice or no dice

[little osprey]

usually mixing ram still works, sometimes just not super well

thats what i figured! thank you! a colleague wants to snag it

imma go full scalper mode n sell for 1kl MUAHAHA

jk

[fossil cedar]

Lol

Tbh you could keep that psu and swap it out for something cheaper because txm is very good

[ancient crown]

Yeah? I don't really have a use for it tho tbh. Don't really plan to build another pc that only needs 650. Unless my wife wants a pc. But she doesn't haha

[fossil cedar]

I mean literally up to 3070 ti/rx 6800 can do 650w so i guess if you have no use for it not worth but if you could use in better build would have been nice to bring forward

Can anyone help me? I was trying to see if there was an update to my Audio Driver and I seem to not be able to find the manager anymore

[peak ginkgo]

Do you have a prebuilt or a custom built PC?

[onyx oxide]

prebuilt. I know it's a bad idea... But I was trying to update Realtek audio and can't seem to find or get back the manager

[little osprey]

Pre-builts aren't a "bad" idea. You've just gotta know which are the good ones. If anyone craps on you or makes fun of you because you didn't built your own system, whoever that person is, is probably a loser.

[undone gorge]

k i have $1500 aud can anyone help me fine a pretty powerful pc for this much?

its kinda hard because everything is more expensive 😦

[little osprey]

I know a number of the ABS systems are quite good. I can't recommend a specific one though since I'm not 100% sure which are the best, so I'll have to leave that for someone else to answer

I’ve never been good with hardware, I tried doing it myself and using PC Part picker but I had no idea what I was doing. So I thought it made more sense to get a starting point and then just upgrade it overtime. But now I accidentally got rid of my Realtek Manager or whatever it’s called

[little osprey]

It sounds like just downloading Realtek audio drivers should fix the issue. The problem is that your sound isn't working and the driver is gone from device manager right?

[jagged ember]

if so, find the driver from the motherboard manufacturer's website, download it and install the driver

should fix it up

[earnest olive]

if someone makes fun of you for buying a prebuilt pc

make fun of them for buying a prebuilt car and house instead of learning how to do it themselves

[jagged ember]

lol true

prebuilts in today's market is a good idea

[topaz kestrel]

Nothing wrong with a prebuilt but I’m sure a lot of people here would gladly put you together a custom if you wanted to build it

[earnest olive]

imagine inhabiting a prebuilt body lmao

just build your own body

[jagged ember]

i think most of us do that

only those who undergo stinky brain transfusions or whatever

[earnest olive]

nah my body is custom built liquid cooled with liquid metal

I delidded my brain

[jagged ember]

damm

[topaz kestrel]

Im liquid nitrogen cooled

[jagged ember]

orange flexin on us

[topaz kestrel]

[jagged ember]

i'm soft-tubing watercooled

brain hasn't been delidded

I'll get to that one day

[earnest olive]

delidded mushroom cap

[desert gulch]

Uhhh Alec you good?

Aud not USD lol

[vague oracle]

Nope I’m not good

[desert gulch]

Lol

[undone gorge]

rip

[fast dirge]

Can anyone help me with something that will run Diablo 2 Resurrected on somewhere between min and recommended settings for $700?

[kindred crater]

Hey guys, what would you recommenced for motherboards nowadays? i have a i7-10700k and RTX3080 and im running on DDR4 3200mhz 2x8GB

[celest horizon]

You have those parts without a board?

[tough shell]

should I set up my new ssd as a dynamic or MBR disk?

nvm im dumb

[kindred crater]

just unfamiliar with what board to get for this combo, used to have gigabyte z490 UD AC but i didnt really like it much

[jagged ember]

no swore ree

[dusky hearth]

[earnest olive]

Z490 UD AC is fine

if you didn't like it, might as well just get whatever you like as long as it's not worse than the Z490 UD

what features do you like?

more rgb? lol

[kindred crater]

honestly just looking for something thats reliable and will last me, i have a Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 3080 and i7-10700k

[earnest olive]

then your Z490 UD AC is fine lol

[kindred crater]

what brand would you recommend for boards ?

[earnest olive]

brand doesn't matter

your current mobo is fine

if you don't want a specific feature that it doesn't have then just keep it

[kindred crater]

thing is im getting a new one anyway so whats hot rn for getting something higher end?

[earnest olive]

why tho

define higher end

[kindred crater]

returned it for power suge issues, i had the gigabye power supplys that were blowing up

[earnest olive]

you want one of them $800 mobos?

😳

[viral ore]

😤

[earnest olive]

oh the power supply damaged it

[kindred crater]

nah under 500

[earnest olive]

you could have said that earlier

I thought you were upgrading just for fun

I'd recommend a z490 aorus elite for a good balance

[kindred crater]

no lol, wish i had a money tree

[earnest olive]

but it might be hard to find z490s in stock

so some lower tier z590s will be fine as well

but on some z590 boards you will lose access to one m.2 slot with a 10th gen cpu

[kindred crater]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-z590-e-gaming-wifi/p/N82E16813119367?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-Future+Publishing+Ltd&AFFID=2294204&AFFNAME=Future+Publishing+Ltd&ACRID=1&ASUBID=UUwpUdUnU44470YYwYg&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.windowscentral.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2294204&ranSiteID=kXQk6.ivFEQ-ZZih6zRGTespRLkx6I0sOA

wait can i send links ?

[viral ore]

is newegg link

so yes

but plz trim

[earnest olive]

I mean there's nothing wrong with that board

[viral ore]

363

[earnest olive]

but it doesn't really offer anything to justify that $364 price tag

strix tax is a meme

[viral ore]

^

[earnest olive]

it won't make your system any faster than it was on the z490 ud ac

z490 ud ac is already plenty capable of overclocking the 10700k

I'd stick to something cheaper

it's just pointless to spend that much

[kindred crater]

What about asus TUF gaming plus WIFI

[earnest olive]

price?

tuf boards are good

[kindred crater]

259

[earnest olive]

259 is pretty steep

[kindred crater]

yeah i heard TUF r good

[earnest olive]

but still less bad

[flint sapphire]

I mean it’s not pointless they’d certainly maybe learn something like a lesson 👀

[earnest olive]

he is here so he doesn't have to learn things the hard way

[kindred crater]

[earnest olive]

we only apply that thinking to people who ask AFTER buying

[kindred crater]

literally

[flint sapphire]

[earnest olive]

people who ask AFTER buying are clowns

smh

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[earnest olive]

"hey is a 2080ti for $3000 good"

"lol no"

"well I already bought it so screw you"

[obsidian wigeon]

people who buys then asks are so

[kindred crater]

just looking for a good brand and name motherboard under 500 and i hear TUF is good, so is ROG but im not a big fan of the gigabyte bios. Is msi any good or should i pull the trigger on the ASUS boards ?

[flint sapphire]

Whoever sold that must be a happy person

[obsidian wigeon]

where's their brain?

[earnest olive]

MSI is fine

[obsidian wigeon]

probably surgeon stole it from em

[earnest olive]

MSI z490-a pro and z590-a pro are fine boards for the 10700K

I have personally pushed 10700K to 5.5 on the z490-a pro

[obsidian wigeon]

but yeah whoever sold that 2080ti for 3k would be the happiest person in the world

[earnest olive]

some guy in general chat said he got a really good deal

[obsidian wigeon]

that literally gets you more than an upgrade, but whole new rig

[earnest olive]

a 2080ti for 3300 but it's worth it because it's waterblocked LOL

[flint sapphire]

Who knew buying a new graphics card every once in a while would give you a huge return like that

[obsidian wigeon]

bruh

just cause it has waterblock

[earnest olive]

I showed him 3 water blocked 2080tis for under 3300 total and he told me to shut up

then I showed him a 3090 + 3080 for under 3300

[obsidian wigeon]

the shame

dude probably felt so dumb

[earnest olive]

he said he was gonna buy a scalped 3090

and the scalper told him he was out of 3090s

[obsidian wigeon]

and 2080ti waterblock

[flint sapphire]

Would’ve been a better deal even if he went to a diff scalper

[obsidian wigeon]

is better than scalped 3090?

like scalped 2080ti even

[earnest olive]

and offered him a 2080ti for the same price BeCaUsE iTs WaTeRbLoCkEd

[obsidian wigeon]

3090 is like a good chunk faster than 2080ti

right?

cause 3070 is 2080ti perf

[flint sapphire]

A large chunk even

[obsidian wigeon]

wew

[earnest olive]

that scalper must be the godliest salesman in the world to convince that guy that a 2080ti waterblock is worth $2400

[obsidian wigeon]

4200?

he paid that much?

[earnest olive]

he paid 3300 for 2080ti + block

lmao

[obsidian wigeon]

holy duck

yeah still insane

[earnest olive]

my entire 5800x 3080 rig was under 2k

and he paid 3300 for a single 2080ti

mannn

[obsidian wigeon]

3300 usd prebuilt would still even have 3090

and like 5900x maybe

[flint sapphire]

“This bad boy here was the head honcho in the last generation of graphics cards! It even has a water block pre installed for easy assembly! now for 6 easy payments of $500! Buy now while supplies last.” -the scalper

[earnest olive]

my new laptop isn't that far off of a 2080ti

and I paid 1265+tax for it

and that includes a 240hz screen

[earnest olive]

6 and 500 are both small numbers

neurons activated

[flint sapphire]

Ah right *taxes not included

[earnest olive]

lmao paying tax to a scalper

[flint sapphire]

Oh and *shipping not included

[earnest olive]

throws 2080ti over

[potent portal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7c9ncT

Should be able to get a 960 from ebay at $150 easily, if not a 950 will do.

Oh and get the 4gb model, not the 2gb

[earnest olive]

970 is doable for $150 from r/hws

[potent portal]

Gotta get lucky for that though

[earnest olive]

it's not that rare

also definitely worth stretching another $10-20 to get a 970 over a 960 if the best you can find is $160-170

[kindred crater]

going with the Tuf z590 gaming plus motherboard

[fossil cedar]

Why bother spending 12$ more on 3200cl16 ram? I mean just as good as the 50$ ram lol

[latent sandal]

What spec should I choose for a pc around 1400usd

[fossil cedar]

Building yourself or prebuilt?

[latent sandal]

Building it myself

[fossil cedar]

Okay I'll make you a list

[fossil cedar]

Do you need wifi?

[latent sandal]

Yeah

[fossil cedar]

[little osprey]

Hey I have a b450f strix too

Nice

[fossil cedar]

Can you afford to upgrade is the question

[little osprey]

What res do you play games at

[frank stirrup]

cpu

[fossil cedar]

And possibly power supply but i wouldn't worry bout that til get better gpu

[frank stirrup]

yeah

[little osprey]

What do you do with your PC? If you play games, at what resolution?

[fossil cedar]

Well they're hardly playing 1440p with a 1060 3gb

[solemn rampart]

I play at 1 monitor 1080p 144hz

[little osprey]

Well hey, I try 4k with my 1070 lol

Hm alright

[frank stirrup]

cpu

100%

[little osprey]

Yea

[fossil cedar]

^

[solemn rampart]

What to

[frank stirrup]

budget?

[little osprey]

You should get a 3600X or 5600x

[fossil cedar]

5600x and an id cooling se 224xt cooler

[fossil cedar]

3600x trash value

[frank stirrup]

3600x sucks

price wise

[little osprey]

Don't they sell cheaper now

[frank stirrup]

nope

[little osprey]

Used I mean

[fossil cedar]

No more expensive

[jagged ember]

3600x just bad

Forever

Same with 3600

For buying

[little osprey]

Um no

[fossil cedar]

Used are like what they should be new pricing lol

[fossil cedar]

Yeah they're awful value

[little osprey]

The 3600 is definitely not a bad processor

[frank stirrup]

:(

[jagged ember]

Terrible value wise

[little osprey]

I meant the 3600 lol

[fossil cedar]

@little osprey

[jagged ember]

Lmao I have the 3600

I know

[fossil cedar]

Same

[little osprey]

Ok?

[jagged ember]

Big sad

[fossil cedar]

It used to be good value

Now its not

[jagged ember]

It was poggers but no longer

[fossil cedar]

It's same price as 5600x

[solemn rampart]

Uhh budget is a kid who walks dogs for like 25 a week

[fossil cedar]

What's that look like?

[jagged ember]

As in what's your budget

[frank stirrup]

how much can you sell kids for in ur country

[little osprey]

Well that's still something at least right lol

[frank stirrup]

since the kid is ur budget

[jagged ember]

How much you wanna spend on it

[solemn rampart]

No

I am the kid

[fossil cedar]

We know we're gonna need a number tho

[solemn rampart]

I walk dogs for a decent chunk

[frank stirrup]

yeah budget is a number

100$ 500$

[jagged ember]

Gib number

[little osprey]

Try getting into the business of selling other people's livers perhaps

[jagged ember]

Mmm yes

While you still can

[solemn rampart]

400

Us

[little osprey]

Good old liver snatch

[frank stirrup]

kidneys are useless

[fossil cedar]

5600x and an id cooling se 224xt cooler

[jagged ember]

Kidney dum

[frank stirrup]

i wanna suggest a 5800x but i dont

[little osprey]

Who was talking about kidneys bruh

[frank stirrup]

not with that gpu

[fossil cedar]

No point for gaming and they need cooler

[jagged ember]

Eh, 5600x already real good from 2600x

And cooler ye

[frank stirrup]

not the other cooler boi thats great for amd

the 140 one

i don rember nam

[solemn rampart]

Honesty you could sell your kidney a ton of times, just sell a third of it and then let it heal

[fossil cedar]

@solemn rampart actually ignore the cooler just 5600x the cooler you have will do

[frank stirrup]

exactly

[solemn rampart]

Liver sorry

Not kidney

[jagged ember]

Lol I was just about to say

[frank stirrup]

i mean you dont need kidneys when ur an adult

[jagged ember]

I don't think that's how kidneys work

[frank stirrup]

you need adultneys

[fossil cedar]

Frost spirit 140 but they actually don't need they have aight cooler already just checked

[solemn rampart]

But livers do do that

[frank stirrup]

heh

[little osprey]

We all actually have healing factors

[jagged ember]

Heh

That's a me level joke there

[frank stirrup]

our jokes on same wavelength

pog

[frank stirrup]

which one

[fossil cedar]

@solemn rampart buy a 5600x, update your motherboards bios then use the rest of your budget to save up for a new gpu

[jagged ember]

Brain is on 1hz

Makes sense you linked with it

[fossil cedar]

Bq pure rock 2

[frank stirrup]

oh yeah thats 100% good

[fossil cedar]

Not 100%

[frank stirrup]

my 1 brain hurtz

good

not optimal

[fossil cedar]

Its decent for what they have

Yeah

And will do a 5600x just fine

[stoic island]

P sure u12s beats pure rock 2

[fossil cedar]

Probs it's only a 40$ cooler lol

[stoic island]

U12s redux is 50$

And bunch of other options that should beat u12s

[jagged ember]

Drp4?

[fossil cedar]

I mean pure rock 2 is

[jagged ember]

And scyth fuma 2 I'm guessing

[fossil cedar]

They already have it too

[frank stirrup]

fuma beats a lot of stuff to be fair

[stoic island]

I'm saying it's ok, not great in general

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[stoic island]

I'm talking like se-224-xt vetroo v5 fs140 and the other thermalright cooler

[little osprey]

Yea the scythe 2 is pretty good

The se224xt is a good contender too

[solemn rampart]

But i also just bought the cooler, i have the cpu overclocked in the bios for tower

[little osprey]

It's just a great value

[stoic island]

Fs140 beat fuma 2 in some testing

But anyways

[fossil cedar]

On amd

Pa120 beats it on intel

[solemn rampart]

Like two weeks ago I bought it

[fossil cedar]

Fuma 2 is the averaged between am4 and lga1200

[fossil cedar]

Could you return it?

If not it's fine

[little osprey]

I'm actually gonna need a new cooler for the stuff I got for free the other day. But I'm definitely gonna go for the 240 CLC since it's 70 bucks rn

[jagged ember]

Its within return window

[frank stirrup]

Im finding the deepcool gammaxx gt to be a great cooler too

[jagged ember]

So definitely consider it

[jagged ember]

Ayy

[solemn rampart]

Nope, got it off amazon, and installed it already

[frank stirrup]

peerless assassin is

[fossil cedar]

Basically gammaxx 400 soo

[frank stirrup]

but argb

[jagged ember]

Gammaxx gang

[stoic island]

Fuma 2 also bit too quiet

[frank stirrup]

it looks SICK

[fossil cedar]

I mean you could still return but fair enough, just get a 5600x then

[fossil cedar]

Too quiet?

[frank stirrup]

5600x

[solemn rampart]

Im also goong for an anti rgb asthetic

[fossil cedar]

That's fair

[solemn rampart]

Going*

[stoic island]

Fans don't run fast enough to get great results

[frank stirrup]

you can turn it off

[jagged ember]

If it's argb

[fossil cedar]

Thought that was the ninjas problem?

[stoic island]

Like it's quiet but it puts a cap on how much it can cool tbh

[jagged ember]

Otherwise it just r or g or b

[stoic island]

Ninja has it worse

[jagged ember]

Or rainbow

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

[solemn rampart]

No like no prts no thinthin, everything is pitch black

[frank stirrup]

if it its non adressible rgb, just dont plug in the rgb header

[stoic island]

Fuma 2 still doesn't hit the 35dba used for noise normalized in GN testing

[frank stirrup]

if its through pwm header tho its problem

[fossil cedar]

There's better black options if you don't mind returning but it's fine if you don't want to do it that's all

[fossil cedar]

Ohh really?

[jagged ember]

That's what I was talking about lol

Can I cut a wire on the stupid fan to turn off leds

[solemn rampart]

I have no clue how to return and on top of that the 400 is in like a couple of months

[frank stirrup]

you can cut off the leds

[solemn rampart]

I dont have the 400 rn

[jagged ember]

Lol

Fair

[frank stirrup]

they should be in parallel anyway

so wont affect anything else

[stoic island]

Although it's closer, it's 34.4 dba

[fossil cedar]

Just get a 5600x and update your bios and call it a day then

[solemn rampart]

So by the time i get the new cooler, the return date is possibly going to be over

[fossil cedar]

Ahh that's ntb

[jagged ember]

Will be cool enough

If non pbo

[fossil cedar]

Yeah dw about a new cooler

[frank stirrup]

even with pbo on itll be cool enough

[fossil cedar]

Looks fine even for pbo

[jagged ember]

Oh?

[frank stirrup]

just wont boost as much

[solemn rampart]

Oh ok

[jagged ember]

Ohh, right

I forgot

noo running out of coffee

[solemn rampart]

Im not really lokking for perfect frames, just stuff thats playable for mid and occasional high demand gaming

[jagged ember]

Oh, wow that's a relief

[fossil cedar]

.

[frank stirrup]

get the cpu and start saving for a gpu

[jagged ember]

Unlike that one dude lol

[solemn rampart]

K

[jagged ember]

There's your action plan

[frank stirrup]

bro blessed beams is just...

[solemn rampart]

Coming from a previous xbox 360 user, i can shoot at 30-40 fps

[jagged ember]

Asks about the 10700k 50 times

[solemn rampart]

Ow

[little osprey]

Did you ever try running crysis 2 on it

[solemn rampart]

Thats gotta be annoying

No, possibly should i expand my library instead?

[frank stirrup]

wait who u talk about

[little osprey]

Whenever I played it on my Xbox 360, it was overheat, throttle itself, and I'd get a buttery smooth 15 fps

[jagged ember]

'will it get me fps boost'

[frank stirrup]

BLESSEDBEAMS

[jagged ember]

The beans man

[frank stirrup]

YES

Beans?

[jagged ember]

It just feels like has asking literally the same question

[jagged ember]

Over and over again

[frank stirrup]

istg

like bro

[jagged ember]

Didn't he already buy the pc

Like chill

[frank stirrup]

we cant calculate what fps you will get on a certain thing

this will improve pc

BuT hOw MaNy FrAmEs MoRe ThO?

[jagged ember]

Even linus tecc tips hotline wouldn't help him

[little osprey]

What did he ask

[jagged ember]

Because his question is too damn specific

Or questions, I guess

[jagged ember]

Kept asking if this thing or that thing would get him better fps in warzone

For what felt like the same parts over and over again lmao

[frank stirrup]

And the whole ram thing today

like bruh

[little osprey]

Dedotadid wam

[frank stirrup]

if you dont know about stuff take our advice

[jagged ember]

Wasn't he stuck on the speed for like

Forever

[frank stirrup]

dont keep questioning it

[jagged ember]

Then he got stuck on the timings

[little osprey]

Yea, I think he gets it

[jagged ember]

And then the number of sticks

Number of sticks he understood pretty quick comparatively tho

[little osprey]

I'm gonna hopefully be putting together my x99 system I've been blessed with lmao

Gotta allocate the money for the parts though, and I don't wanna sell any hardware I have on hand even though I don't have much of a use for it atm

Time to snatch some livers

[jagged ember]

He's back at it again

[frank stirrup]

Indeed

He always asks in general as well

Never a chanel specific to his problem

[granite imp]

Cpu cooler fan isn’t alway on. Seems to kick on when cpu is under load. Is this normal? Also it’s a static blue led fan. The led turns on at boot but then turns off. Sometimes it turns on for a second when the fan first ramps up.

[granite imp]

I feel attacked.

[fossil cedar]

no not normal

[granite imp]

Any ideas?

[fossil cedar]

go into fan curve in bios

[granite imp]

That’s what I’m doing right now

Was making sure everything was updated just now

See at boot, everything is working as it’s supposed to.

[granite imp]

It was on DC instead of PWM

🤦‍♂️

[fossil cedar]

that shouldnt cause it to not move tho hmm

is it working now?

[granite imp]

They would move. Just not all the time

[granite imp]

Well as soon as I switched to PWM they spun up and leds came on

It definitely seemed like power delivery issue with the way they’d act

[fossil cedar]

ohh weird

[granite imp]

Like when the cpu was under load they’d suddenly spin up, and sometime the led would turn on and then fade to like half the brightness and then go off

Weird

[limber solstice]

My pc wont boot help

Plz

[fossil cedar]

Weird, hopefully is good now

[granite imp]

So far so good

[frank stirrup]

Ur hot so you can get away with it

[granite imp]

🤣

[fossil cedar]

[fossil cedar]

Is it h510?

H200 mb?

Wtf is with the weird gpu cable extensions

And put aio on top if space

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

Looks like they can top mount the aio

No?

Looks like it

Lemme check nzxt site

@elfin flame they have 2 fans at the top but theres only 1 whole for fan

You sure it's h200i?

Is there wholes for 2 fans up the top or is it just shoved up there against solid metal?

Lol

Shame they got aio in there cuz nzxt cases work off of negative pressure and making the pressure even actually worsens the thermals@elfin flame

Pls say exhaust

Skience

Did you find out the story with the weird pcie cable extension things ?

Awful

It looks so bad coming from around the side as well

Use the cable bar

Ohh i thought you had it already with you

Thank god

Do they have a good enough power supply btw?

Ahh grand

Oh lol

Definitely on purpose

Why bother?

Oh no

[jagged ember]

idk what he's doing with his cables tbh

but it aint managing them

thats for sure

[fossil cedar]

Do rosewill even make 1000w psu

Whyy

[jagged ember]

more like rosewillnot

something wrong with brain today

i keep makin bad jokes

isnt there a lot of space on the rear panel area to stuff cables in

[fossil cedar]

Plenty for 3070 anyway

Yeah

Lol

[jagged ember]

hell no

he hasn't earned one yet

when he learns how to manage the inside of a pc then maybe

low chance maybe

lol

you givin him the good fans

[fossil cedar]

Well they got nzxt case so

X)

[jagged ember]

mm fair point

it do be choking

[fossil cedar]

P12

[jagged ember]

actually, arent pressure optimized fans best for nzxt intake?

instead of airflow optimized ones?

[fossil cedar]

P12/p14 if space for 140mm

[jagged ember]

lol true

i shoulda gotten p14s for my intake

my case can fit em

:(

Sad

I could have gotten 2 140s but it would stop me putting 3 120s so

[jagged ember]

at 50% fan speed my gpu sits at 35 idle lmao

at least the fans work

[fossil cedar]

It do be nice when things work kek

[jagged ember]

do be like that

man, this case would not fit a 3070 i think

p12 thicc

[vague oracle]

I wish there were RGB P14s

[jagged ember]

could move fans to the front instead of inside the case

but thats how i broke my last cheapo fan lmao

kept sticking the front panel into the fan

[cerulean root]

the 6600xt is the 3060 counter part?

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[cerulean root]

and the cheapest one is how much, ive looked at a few websites now and the cheapest ive seen is 379

[fossil cedar]

380 iirc yeah

[sterile path]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/VytrTJ should i get an other motherboard?

[fossil cedar]

Motherboard is nice, but I'd get 3600cl16 ram

And a better cooler than stock

[sterile path]

for around same price u know a good cl16 ram?

and i will upgrade the cooler but many people told me that the stock was ok

[fossil cedar]

Nah not for a 5600x fairly warm cpu, it will do if you have to but like 30$ investment will be worth it

Do you need wifi?

[hallow glen]

wifi is cheap

[fossil cedar]

Also you have no storage in that list

[sterile path]

i want to get the nzxt one with the cpu temp on it cause it look rly sick, but when i buy the pc ill prob not have enough so ill wait a little

[sterile path]

already gat the samsung evo 1tb in my current pc

[sterile path]

na

[fossil cedar]

Please don't it's soo expensive and mediocre

[sterile path]

its SICKO

[hallow glen]

thats its only selling point

[fossil cedar]

It's like 450 cad

[sterile path]

na 250

and its rly that bad?

[fossil cedar]

Very mediocre not bad

Just overpriced and fine but meh

[sterile path]

bro momento

[fossil cedar]

The best aio is arctic liquid freezer ii (rgb) and it's like 140$ish

[sterile path]

yeah when i think about it my case will have a teint glass so dark i probaly wont even see it

[fossil cedar]

You want rgb ram or no?

[sterile path]

well if its 20buck more yes but honestly as i said it dont rly matter cause the glass is so dark

and it will be under my desk

[hallow glen]

on a carpet?

[fossil cedar]

@sterile path https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/m2GVJf

[sterile path]

wat? no u donkey

[fossil cedar]

The rgb ram is like 25$ more but there ya go

[hallow glen]

ok good

[fossil cedar]

You can keep the 4000d airflow if you want btw but p400a would be a better option imo

[sterile path]

it already come with the fans?

[fossil cedar]

yeah comes with 3 rgb fans and one non rgb fan in the back

p400a is

[sterile path]

and the rgb is fully customizable?

and also why did u change the screen the one i had was good na?

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

The m27q is better

[sterile path]

ok thx think ill buy this. only only 2 mounts to wait

[fossil cedar]

Why you gotta wait 2 months?

[sterile path]

i kinda hate my life at the beggining of the summer on the site of amd for about 12h i could bought rx6800xt freely and now i need to do queue on thursday at 10am

[sterile path]

cause i need to wait for the gift money

[fossil cedar]

Ohh, you might want to make a change or 2 to that setup in 2 months time and buy the gpu first before anything else btw gl with getting one from amd directly

[sterile path]

why was i able the buy it constantly for like 12h at the beginning of the summer and it didnt said out of stock

[sterile path]

what type of change

[fossil cedar]

Can't predict the future, prices might change a bit etc

[sterile path]

but do u know any other place when i can get a 6800xt for the same price as on amd.com?

[fossil cedar]

Not for that price

[sterile path]

or 3080 for 820$ cause both card are pretty equal

[fossil cedar]

You can try best buy for 3080 near that price

[sterile path]

yeah thats the probleme the probleme any other person other than amd will sell it at a higher price

[sterile path]

its also super hard to get one on the best buy site

[fossil cedar]

Yeah cuz we're i a shortage tbh settle for a 3070/6700xt/6800 and be realistic as it's just the way it is and sure if you can manage 6800xt or 3080 would be great but like cmon

[potent portal]

Even Best Buy only got like 6 3080s or less per store at the last drop, they're getting harder and harder to find.

[still roost]

Ahegao Boomer#4978 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sterile path]

bruh

damn i hate my self for not having bought one when i could

[potent portal]

Hindsight is 20/20, no way you could have known then it would be this bad

[sterile path]

it was only 4 months ago

i knew there was a shortage but because when i got on the amd site for the first time i could buy any graphic cards i wanted except 6700xt and lower cause they were out of stock i tought it would be easy to buy my 6800xt later just before building my pc

boi was i wrong

[fossil cedar]

It is what it is

They drop on Thursdays anyway

Between 9 am and 12 noon us central time

[sterile path]

the exact right time for me not to be able to buy it or any of my other familiy memeber

[potent portal]

No dodging the censor

[sterile path]

oh no

[jagged ember]

I don't think there's another way tbh

If u want reasonable priced

[jagged ember]

However, if you wanted to overpay them there's more options

I linused my phone again

I get what I deserve

[sharp temple]
