fast respond, soft

#

Yeah reds

#

I don't get the fast bit though

#

Any key is fast if you click it fast

#

Any key is slow if you click it slow

#

So long as it isn't jammed jensen2

TYG (thank you guys)

obsidian wigeon
#

well

smoother and lighter equals faster

#

i like red cause i don't mistap much

#

and it's linear

clever eagle
#

i have apex pro
their switches are basically reds

cerulean root

cerulean root
#

at msrp i think idunno

#

its used but everything works so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

odd crypt
#

No I was just wondering

cerulean root
#

idk thats what i seen

#

i think i seen 150 and i lowered price just in case

odd crypt
#

That's honestly not bad

#

Yeah I've been trying to find a graphics card for 2 years😭

lyric thistle
#

2400 should be like 20 bucks or something

odd crypt
#

Hm

serene pulsar
#

Challenge for someone to find a nice prebuilt for under 1000$

#

For gaming

LMAO ARESGAME

serene pulsar
frank stirrup
#

pc go bye bye

#

aresgame go boom

obsidian wigeon
#

aresgame, that brand that pays people to shill em

#

it's not good at all

frank stirrup
#

@fossil cedar I STG IF YOU FIND A PREBUILT FASTER THAN ME I WILL CUT YOU

obsidian wigeon
#

pato will tbh

#

he has consistently been fast

#

even faster than me

frank stirrup
#

HAH I AM ASSEPD

stoic island
#

Pretty sure aresgame got caught trying to cheat on 80+ certification too

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

odd crypt
#

Hm

odd crypt
#

I got it so I guess I'll try it out once I get my graphics card then I will leave a real review

#

Idc if they try to "shill" me

#

If it's bad then I'll leave a bad review 👍🏼

frank stirrup
#

i wouldnt connect it to the gpu if I cared about the gpu

stoic island

It's been 1 year

#

I think it's to late to refund

serene pulsar
#

“I’m surprised intel 5 is still this high!”

fossil cedar
#

Damm

odd crypt
#

Yeaaa

#

Like I said tho I'll leave a real review

serene pulsar
#

My friend told me that for the prebuilt rawr gave

odd crypt
#

And they do give u a free mousepad if u leave a review on there page

#

Which is stupid

serene pulsar
#

That’s what we paid for an intel 5 like 9 years ago

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
odd crypt
#

Go look on the reviews on amazon

fossil cedar
serene pulsar
#

yeah I know it isn’t

frank stirrup
serene pulsar
#

I’m trying to remember your phrase Pato

#

Model over something

frank stirrup
#

the one i linked is last year

#

but yeah theres easily over a 100 i5s

serene pulsar
#

Yeah I know some i5 are better then i7 it’s just the model number

#

Is there any others @frank stirrup @fossil cedar

#

Or is this the only one you’d actually suggest

frank stirrup
#

10400 is a great cpu

fossil cedar
serene pulsar
#

I mean I know realistically I can’t build one for under 1K

#

The graphic card would set it way over

trail sundial
odd crypt
#

Hm

#

I saw a gtx 980 somewhere on newegg

fossil cedar
#

Probs from china for like 400$ 02pepekek

little osprey
#

Maxwell is still pretty competent these days

little osprey
#

Is ASROCKASROCK is a good mother board?

worn wave
#

They have a few good motherboards but what model is the board that you are looking at?

#

Model is more important than the overall manufacturer

#

Lmfao Aresgame was willing to send me a PSU and I only have 600 followers on insta

earnest olive
#

silicon power sent me a 3600mhz rgb ram kit to review

#

and i don't even use social media

worn wave
#

Oh dang nice

earnest olive
#

they literally hit me up in pcpartpicker dms

#

and was like "yo wanna review this"

#

i thought it was a scam but i figured sending an email can't hurt

#

turns out it was legit

#

i looked up the email they provided me and it was their actual media outreach person

worn wave
#

Lmfao

#

They really are desperate

frank stirrup
earnest olive
#

it was a pretty nice ram kit

#

worth like $100

#

they didn't contact me again after that though

#

i bought a bunch of cheap siliconpower ssds

#

and they saw me dominating the review pages for their ssds i guess lol

#

i gave them pretty good reviews, they were absolutely fine

#

i've bought quite a few p34a80s, still have 2 500gb in the house rn

worn wave
#

I should see if I can get them to send me a CPU cooler

little osprey
#

I would love to get sponsored by those chinese motherboard manufacturers

#

mainly Atermiter, Machinst, Jingsha, and Huananzhi

mossy venture
little osprey
#

interesting lol

worn wave
#

I have been wanting to properly make a Instagram page and stuff so I might actually do so

sharp tangle
#

god i cant wait to start my build i have everything but my 3070

#

i need

#

it

little osprey
#

what are you gonna do? wait till prices go down or what

hardy owl
#

newegg rly teasing me with these out of stock 6600s

fossil cedar
hardy owl
#

tankq for this

#

I got really excited unnecessarily-

sharp tangle
fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Yea, but itll likely be another year and a half before prices go back to normal, and you cant just have a build sitting there that long unused lol

sharp tangle
#

yo what I thought they did online still

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

fossil cedar

that sucks

fossil cedar

#

dang two hours to reach a best buy, i feel bad for you

how far is your closest microcenter

#

what you mean @fossil cedar No more online?

sharp tangle
little osprey
#

oh alright

fossil cedar

sharp tangle
fossil cedar
marble gust
#

😦 really @fossil cedar That is gonna be bad. If they are not doing online drops anymore.

sharp tangle
#

ah yep nearest drop location is 2.5 hours

#

that means I'd have to skip a few classes to get one

#

rip

fossil cedar
marble gust
#

But more fights at the stores

sharp tangle
#

I'm afraid of getting one in person I'm gonna have to skip class, drive 2.5 hours and be there by like 6 in the morning, all that just to get beat up in the Parking lot

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

okay, maybe the other stuff is true, but i highly doubt you'll get beat up lol

#

ill be your bodygaurd B)

marble gust
#

nice

#

I rather wait and get lucky online. I should have brought the 3080ti gigabyte gaming two drops ago. 😦

sharp tangle
#

man it's starting to get cold out too I'd have to camp in the cold

#

I have 2 roommates that are looking to buy a 30 series so it could be a good time I suppose

little osprey
marble gust
#

LOL. Or get some GPU from Antonline

little osprey
#

Ill accept an RTX 3070 or 3070Ti as payment, thanks.

sharp tangle
#

LMAO bet

little osprey
#

business partners

sharp tangle
#

gonna identify the irl scalpers and Rob them

#

ofc

little osprey
#

doing the lord's work lmao

sharp tangle
#

someone's gotta do it 🙏

fallen cloud
#

alr so i talked to my friend and i finally convinced him that he should go for performance instead of rgb

fossil cedar
#

I mean you can have both for a bit more budget, or at least make a decent sacrifice

potent portal
#

You can have both in a decent budget, a lot of RGB parts are only a little more or even sometimes cheaper than non-RGB

spice prairie
#

Would a 3070 and $800 be good for a 3080ti

potent portal
#

Like trading the 3070 plus cash for a 3080 ti?

#

In a perfect world yes that's a good trade

spice prairie
#

Really? I thought it was a bit much cash wise

#

I found someone willing to do that trade

fossil cedar
#

well considering 3080 is 1200 msrp (which is dumb in the first place but anyway)

potent portal
#

If you're looking only at msrp and trading FE model for FE, then $800 is a bit much. But if you look at AIB models, the gap closes since many 3080 ti models are $1500 or more retail price.

little osprey
#

crazy to think just a year and a half ago i got a 1070 ftw for 150 bucks

#

sheesh

#

now im wishing i kept it lol

potent portal
#

Yep, and a couple years ago I got a refurb 2070, one of the best models, for $400. It's like $700 now.

little osprey
#

dang

formal girder
#

2 yrs ago i got a 1660 for $150 and now i pay $1600 for a 3090 woulve been funny if i paid $1660 for the 3090 an upgrade worth the money for sure

fossil cedar
#

1600 for a 3090 🤤

spice prairie
#

Scored a 980 for $20 before

spice prairie
potent portal
spice prairie
#

Perfect

little osprey
#

Um.

#

It's official guys. Im an actual idiot.

#

I just destroyed my 5820k, and two 8GB dimms of 3200MT ballistix memory

#

god Cringe

#

this is a big enough L to last for a month.

#

honestly the CPU doesnt matter too much to me, but the RAM was a real loss

#

Damn

#

Psu fail?

#

no

#

i dont wanna talk about it

#

im so stupid

#

Lmfao

#

i just did something really dumb

potent portal
#

Sounds like a bad voltage setting to me
RIP computer

little osprey
#

nah i wasnt OCing

#

its dumber than that

#

like something actually dumb that i wont admit to

potent portal
#

Oh no
You didn't put the pci power in the cpu slot did you?

little osprey
#

no

#

even dumber

potent portal
#

Wow, I'll stop guessing now then

cerulean root
little osprey
#

good idea

#

stay curious lol

#

unless you send me a new cpu

cerulean root
#

plz

#

is it an amd build or intel?

cerulean root
#

wrong soccet type?

#

or did you bend the pins?

little osprey
#

that wouldnt even kill a cpu or ram, it just wouldnt post

desert gulch
#

Im here

little osprey
#

now i have a dead HEDT cpu and half a ram kit to place on my desk to remind me of my idiocy lmao

#

bruh

#

stay humble guys

#

💀

desert gulch
#

What'd you do?

little osprey
#

killed about 150 dollars worth of hardware

#

like super dead

#

i just tried testing them

desert gulch
#

How?

little osprey
#

the world will never know

desert gulch
#

Tell us so we don't do it lol

#

Help us out by learning from your mistake

little osprey
#

oh trust me, you wouldnt do it

#

nobody here would

vague oracle
#

You’d be surprised

#

What did you do?

little osprey
#

dang you guys really wanna know

#

let's start a fundraiser to get me new hardware then ill tell you kekw

potent portal
#

You can't dangle it in front of us like that and expect people to drop it lol

vague oracle
#

^

worn wave
#

Honestly it most likely is not that bad

little osprey
#

ok

#

i pulled out a DIMM while the system was running

worn wave
#

That killed it?

worn wave
#

I have done that before

#

For fun lmfao

vague oracle
#

…that shouldn’t have killed the system

potent portal
#

That's just bad luck

little osprey
#

yup.

#

and small brainedness

#

Im assuming the dimm slot made contact with the wrong 2 pins and shorted or something

worn wave
#

Most likely

little osprey
#

doesnt explain why the other dimm is dead though

potent portal
little osprey
#

but theres nothing else that could've cause it

worn wave
#

I pulled RAM from an iMac before and all it did was yell at me

#

Insanely loud beeper

little osprey
#

guess i just got super unlucky

potent portal
#

Yeah it shouldn't have killed it, so it must have just been extra sensitive for some reason

little osprey
#

Well it was a high-end platform

#

is*

#

the mobo still works at least

#

and my other 2 dimms

#

lol

worn wave
#

Not an insane loss tbh, the CPU was free right?

little osprey
#

yea all the hardware was free

#

but it still really sucks

#

i just wasted a bunch of stuff

vague oracle
#

Why did you even pull it when it was on?

little osprey
#

and now i cant use the board until a spend money to get new parts

drifting timber
#

how often do you guys clean out your pc from dust buildup

fading oyster
#

like once a month

#

but it depends on where you keep it

fading oyster
serene pulsar
#

Bro is 3060 ti even bad to get

#

Like I feel like it’s fine the way the market is to buy

obsidian wigeon
serene pulsar
#

Well I’m looking to just buy prebuilt at this point I give up looking for gpus

#

3060 ti are all around 1200-1500

#

Prebuilts

obsidian wigeon
#

Are you in the us?

#

I can give you some

serene pulsar
#

Yeah

obsidian wigeon
#

Like prebuilts ofc

#

kk, gimme a sec

fading oyster
#

what

fading oyster
obsidian wigeon
#

lol no

fading oyster
#

yk where to get them then?

obsidian wigeon
#

nah

#

How about this?

#

Cheapest I could go with 3060ti that's not too bad

#

But cooler defo needs swap, 11700f can't run cool with that thing

#

Like an se 224 xt should do ok on the cheap

#

Or vetroo v5

#

this one has 3060 at 1299

fading oyster
serene pulsar
#

No

serene pulsar
#

3070s be only 100 more then that one

obsidian wigeon
#

well cheapest with abs lol

#

just show me the others, i'll see

serene pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

ah

#

I wasn't looking hard enough, mb

#

Good find tho, ya can go with it

serene pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

no stock tho that one

#

woulda been nice

serene pulsar
#

Oh dang

#

These all out of stock tf

#

Why do they put them on here🧢

obsidian wigeon
#

nah the 1349 one has stock

#

the ali 568

serene pulsar
#

Is 3060 way worse then ti

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

#

3060ti is like 2080s perf

#

and 3060 is like 2060s

serene pulsar
#

So what is 3070

obsidian wigeon
#

2080ti

serene pulsar
#

So why do people even buy or want 3000

#

Just stick with 2000

obsidian wigeon
#

well, value

#

3070 was like 500 msrp

#

and 2080ti was 1.1k

#

see the difference here?

hey everyone, i have this problem about a new PC that i built like 3 weeks ago. the Screens keep on flikering and sometime it stay in "fliker" mode and restart the computer but isnt sending any info to the monitors.
i tryed uninstalling/updating my drivers (Gpu mostly).
tried changing RAM of slots,
tried to remove and re-install GPU/ unplug re-plug all my wires,
tried to remove and re-instal my M.2 (where windows is installed.

Im really out of option and so are my friends. this PC is brand new. thanks in advance !

serene pulsar
#

Yeah

#

And now 3000 higher then 2000

#

For lower perf?

obsidian wigeon
#

uh no

#

it's not lower perf

#

many people doesn't even have 20 series cards ngl, or wants to upgrade from their existing cards

#

not everyone one has a 2080 or something

serene pulsar
#

I’m just tryna go from my laptop to something better for gaming lol

#

I don’t see the needs for huge graphic cards like 3080

#

I’m sacrificing the 300$ out of a 1800$ budget for a monitor

#

So only got 1400-1500$ for pc

#

@obsidian wigeon how is RX 6600 XT

drifting timber
#

anyone waiting for next gen amd tech?

#

like ddr5 pcie 5 ryzen

fading oyster
#

i feel like that's a bit far in the future to be looking forward to

drifting timber
#

ohh

#

hopefully gpu prices will drop by then too

fading oyster
#

ya

#

i think they'll drop soon enough

serene pulsar
#

I don’t think gpu prices will drop until 2023

fading oyster
#

really?

serene pulsar
#

Drop to their msrp

fading oyster
#

i was thinking more like next year

serene pulsar
#

I was wishing this year or next year

#

Gave up after seeing how much is going on in the market

#

Stuff has been going downhill in every area

#

Bots will be bots as well

fading oyster
#

ya

#

i had to get a prebuilt to get close to msrp and still it was a bit expensive

serene pulsar
#

I’m surprised people here don’t ever buy prebuilts

#

They must’ve all been lucky and got gpus before this

fading oyster
#

ya

#

i definitely understand the hate on them though

serene pulsar
#

They sit happy with their gpus

fading oyster
#

the prebuilt i got was disgusting

#

had to case swap immediately

serene pulsar
#

What brand

#

Sky tech?

fading oyster
#

and still temps are horrible on the gpu bc of the horrible heatsink

#

it's an hp omen prebuilt

serene pulsar
#

Oo omens heat up

fading oyster
#

ya

serene pulsar
#

I’m sticking with abs

fading oyster
#

i would have one tab of chrome open and the cpu and gpu would be at high 80

serene pulsar
#

Not sure when I’m ever gonna settle on one lol

#

Ouch

#

Yeah I have a laptop I know the feeling

fading oyster
#

i use the case as decoration now

serene pulsar
#

There was 3070s for 1400-1500 2 months ago

#

ABS prebuilts

#

I just stared

#

And now they are all 1800-1900$

#

It sucks

fading oyster
#

mm rip

serene pulsar
#

Even 3060 ti is 1500-1600$

#

Kinda crazy

fading oyster
#

ya

serene pulsar
#

And ya know building computers so many times in pcpartpicker get boring when you can’t find gpus lol

fading oyster
#

my first prebuilt was an i5 10400 with a 2060 1.5 tb storage 16 gb memory and nice temps and it was only 1k

serene pulsar
#

DANG

fading oyster
#

fr lmaoooooooooo

serene pulsar
#

Lucky

#

I got i3 laptop

fading oyster
#

ya it was like 2 years before the shortages

serene pulsar
#

I been broke lol

fading oyster
#

lmaooo

serene pulsar
#

I never could afford that

#

I’m still in school so I mean

#

Summer jobs only get so much

fading oyster
#

ya i started a side hustle of flipping electronics on offerup which actually worked really well to afford that

serene pulsar
#

Oo nice

fading oyster
#

and then for my current pc had to pick up a real job in between school

serene pulsar
#

Dang

#

Must be nice to have a pc atleast

#

college?

fading oyster
#

high school

#

im a junior

serene pulsar
#

weirdo me too

fading oyster
#

barely get to use my pc for gaming though

#

usually get home at 6 and then most times i just got work and then go to sleep

serene pulsar
#

Yeah I had Covid so I mean I’m getting time.

#

But no pc to spend time better lol

#

Oh I was a server I feel that

obsidian wigeon
fading oyster
#

i remember laptop gaming was just roblox and old ass games on steam

obsidian wigeon
#

it can't even compete with 3060ti

serene pulsar
#

Seriously)

fading oyster
#

lmaoo ya

serene pulsar
#

Gaming was just Minecraft and roblox

#

No need for graphics

#

Now every game needs top notch stuff I feel like

#

They kinda force you

serene pulsar
#

3060 ti is good enough for gaming right

obsidian wigeon
#

More than

serene pulsar
#

Don’t need no 3070 probably

obsidian wigeon
#

Assuming 1080p

#

But ye

serene pulsar
#

1440

#

Gigabyte

obsidian wigeon
#

1440p is also decent

serene pulsar
#

Monitor

obsidian wigeon
#

Is it m27q?

serene pulsar
#

Yes

obsidian wigeon
#

nice

serene pulsar
#

It was recommended to me

obsidian wigeon
#

ye it's good

serene pulsar
#

It’s the 300$ out of my budget lol

obsidian wigeon
#

lol

serene pulsar
#

Could be getting 3070

#

But I need a screen

obsidian wigeon
#

3060ti is still adequate for a while at 1440p

serene pulsar
#

If it can run league and cod I’m good

obsidian wigeon
#

Ye those are easy lmao

serene pulsar
#

Does pc mining mean you scalp

obsidian wigeon
#

No

#

Scalping is buying new stuff then reselling for higher than msrp

jagged ember
#

I don't see how that logic works

obsidian wigeon
#

Mining is mining

jagged ember
#

oh, wait

#

he misunderstood the term

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

jagged ember
#

mining is indeed mining

serene pulsar
#

Meaning?

jagged ember
#

there is no other word for it last i checked

#

okay

#

no

obsidian wigeon
#

Mining means using gpu to mine mainly

jagged ember
#

mining does not mean you are scalping

obsidian wigeon
#

It's putting your gpu to do calculations and such, or hashing

jagged ember
#

because they are separate things

obsidian wigeon
#

It's a way to process transactions for many cryptocurrencies

#

Proof of work is what it's called

#

Also ye

#

Mining is not you reselling the card

#

You buy it to mine

#

Scalping is reselling for above msrp after buying it at that msrp

serene pulsar
#

Confusing but thanks

odd crypt
#

Thoughts?

celest sun
#

you forget that new intel 11 series chips have IGPU that has it's own internal VRAM, which means that the 3050 ti can utilize the entire VRAM load without windows hogging any

obsidian wigeon
#

11th gen doesn't have vram in its igpu

potent portal
#

They share system memory

obsidian wigeon
#

the igpu uses system ram ye

#

not the gpu's ram

#

3050ti is still meh with its 4 gigs vram

celest sun
#

If you're on the go, it's more than acceptable, trust me

#

It's not my 3090 at home, but it's very much viable

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah igpus are fine for non gaming usage

#

even light gaming these days

frank stirrup
#

they use a part of sys mem

obsidian wigeon
#

im just saying that was you said was wrong

celest sun
#

right, misspoke w/e

frank stirrup
obsidian wigeon
#

ye

celest sun
#

Unless you want perfect 1440p gaming, that's like a $2000 difference

#

meh

obsidian wigeon
#

3050ti is like

frank stirrup
#

or perfect 1080p gaming

obsidian wigeon
#

weak as hell

frank stirrup
#

3050ti sucks

celest sun
#

Raytracing is garbage on it

obsidian wigeon
#

for what it is regardless

#

not only rt

frank stirrup
#

its as good as a 1660 super

#

lol

obsidian wigeon
#

its non rt perf is meh too

#

not worth paying for that

#

just go 3060 laptop instead kek

#

similar pricing

frank stirrup
#

or a 1660 super

#

or a 2060

#

3050ti sucks

#

and i have rgb

fossil cedar
dreamy aurora
#

i mean i dont run all over the map like call of duty

#

and i sometime dumb brain and forget to do the command

obsidian wigeon
#

you actually have better gpu than me lol

#

i was actually one time browsing thru used laptops

#

and there were two choices i had to make, pretty tough

#

4710hq and ddr3 850m, or 7200u with gddr5 940mx

#

of course i went for the former

dreamy aurora
#

it was worse than this actually v1 has a half dead hardrive and no ssd

#

the hard drives suck

#

100% evertime over heats takes 7 mins to load into a cs map and google chrome crash hahahaa

#

an ssd is a great choice

#

why you gone for 850m doe

obsidian wigeon
#

well the cpu is the thing i also don't wanna lose

#

2c/4t was already becoming eh in 2019

dreamy aurora
#

4710hq has more than 2c ?

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah it's 4c/8t

dreamy aurora
#

you wanna trade laptops ?

obsidian wigeon
#

lol im sure mine is worse

#

it heats up and throttles

dreamy aurora
#

i mean csgo is a cpu based game

#

clean da hair

#

nah

#

cant do links here

#

but acording to the internet your laptop can do gta with around 50-60fps

#

mine can only do 30-45 i believe

#

at 1080p

hey everyone, i have this problem about a new PC that i built like 3 weeks ago. the Screens keep on flikering and sometime it stay in "fliker" mode and restart the computer but isnt sending any info to the monitors.
i tryed uninstalling/updating my drivers (Gpu mostly).
tried changing RAM of slots,
tried to remove and re-install GPU/ unplug re-plug all my wires,
tried to remove and re-instal my M.2 (where windows is installed.

Im really out of option and so are my friends. this PC is brand new. thanks in advance !

fossil cedar
dreamy aurora
#

if no then ill say gpu

haughty burrow
#

Wires are new and i try to unplug/re plug many times

dreamy aurora
#

could be the ports

haughty burrow
#

On all 3 screens?

dreamy aurora
#

no

#

like

#

pc

#

idk like gpu display port be broky :v

haughty burrow
#

:/

dreamy aurora
#

try another displayport if you have one or if your cpu has graphics then try that

haughty burrow
#

Like i said, i tried all 3 ports on 3 screens

dreamy aurora
#

my lap has been flickering alot and i thought it was the gpu until i pluged in the new display

haughty burrow
#

When it flickers, they all flickers at the same time

dreamy aurora
#

3 ports ?

#

like on your gpu ?

haughty burrow
#

Yeah

dreamy aurora
#

your cpu has graphics ?

haughty burrow
#

Oh my bad i miss read

#

My cpu doesnt

dreamy aurora
#

try a diff cable?

#

if not then i fear it might be the gpu

#

which isnt good

#

id imagine if it was the ram then the pc wont post

#

i mean i could be wrong providing i have no real actually good hardware on my hands

haughty burrow
#

I tried switching ram of places or placing only 1 in to see if it would stop it, it isnt my ram unfortunately

dreamy aurora
#

idk maybe it will work

#

defacto gpu would be bad

dreamy aurora
#

ask newegg staff i guess

#

i have no brain so i could futher damage your stuff

#

so yea

haughty burrow
dreamy aurora
#

well

#

idk then

haughty burrow
dreamy aurora
#

i mean all i know is that you shouldnt go super man on the gpu

#

tell me if it worked i would look like a total baller. if not then ill go back to the shadow realm of laptops

haughty burrow
#

I wont try it tonight, it's actually 5 am where im at but i will tag you if you want when i do try it

dreamy aurora
#

what da gpu you have ?

haughty burrow
#

Rx 6800 xt

dreamy aurora
#

wut

#

dont tell me you got that in msrp

#

i am still knife fighting people just to get a good 1650

haughty burrow
dreamy aurora
#

manufacturers suggested retail price

#

normal price basically

haughty burrow
#

Nah i paid like 300$ more CAD

dreamy aurora
#

damn thats pretty good ngl

#

in my place its more of like 700 USD

#

nvidia gpus arent that diff

#

amd gpus are rare here so it makes sence but nvidia ones are just dumb pricing

#

have to sell my limbs for a mid range

serene pulsar

Yo

I think I found a rlly nice prebuilt

Cooling might be bad

frank stirrup

yeah bad cooling

serene pulsar

Best gaming gpu

serene pulsar
#

Mm

fossil cedar
serene pulsar
#

I looked it on a benchmark website

#

It calculated that

stoic island
#

plz no ubm

serene pulsar
#

Some games only 5 fps difference

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

Also with an oc the 3060 ti could get within 2% of 3070 with any luck

#

Istg

#

If its userbenchmark

stoic island
#

if it's ubm or a bottleneck calculator it'll be very sad

mossy venture
#

Can we start a petition to delete ubm?

serene pulsar
#

It says it’s UserBenchMark

mossy venture
#

God damn it

#

Awful site

#

Useless

worn wave
#

Userbenchmark is an awful inaccurate site

serene pulsar
#

Really?

mossy venture
#

Very much

#

It misleads many people

serene pulsar
#

Surprised it’s the first option when comparing the two gpus

mossy venture
#

You're far from the first

frank stirrup
mossy venture
#

Yeah it normally is

#

It just sucks

serene pulsar
#

Is there a better website?

mossy venture
#

I told my friend his 2700x was better than my 3600 bc of ubm

serene pulsar
#

If I need to compare parts

mossy venture
#

Nearly anything else, but I promise you we know just as well as those sites do

worn wave
#

Passmark is pretty good for a ballpark comparison

#

But application specific benchmarks like some youtube channels and videos are better

obsidian wigeon
#

just look at reviews

#

like techpowerup

#

gamer's nexus and such

serene pulsar
#

Mkay

#

I’ll do so

obsidian wigeon
#

tpu has charts that's quick to check on their site

serene pulsar
#

And for the ABS prebuilts are you able to switch out parts

#

PSUs or coolers

worn wave
#

Techpowerup is a really good resource for reviews and such

#

Yup

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

worn wave
#

ABS pre-builts are all off the shelf parts

obsidian wigeon
#

they're all off the shelf parts

#

unlike hp and dell

serene pulsar
#

Meaning?

obsidian wigeon
#

standard stuff you can buy

#

like atx

serene pulsar
#

Ah

#

So reliable parts

worn wave
#

All parts that you can buy from stores, no special parts

#

Nothing proprietary

obsidian wigeon
#

Off the shelf doesn't always mean reliable

#

It's just not proprietary

#

But abs puts ok psus in em for most cases

serene pulsar
#

ABS brand probably is reliable

mossy venture
#

Very reliable

obsidian wigeon
#

So they won't pop

serene pulsar
#

Is Skytech okay?

worn wave
#

No

serene pulsar
#

I found the first under 900$ pc

worn wave
#

What are the specs?

serene pulsar
#

Friend wanted something cheap but can still do a little gaming

#

I figure it’s a good deal

mossy venture
#

HELL NO

serene pulsar
#

??

mossy venture
#

Skytech is AWFUL

#

They screwed me over so badly on the same model, different specs

#

1200$ pre built went to over 1800 bc I had to replace everything but gpu, cpu, and ssd

serene pulsar
#

But for 800$?

mossy venture
#

Don't EVER touch skytech

#

Not to mention they used a 500w white psu instead of the 600w gold it was supposed to be

serene pulsar
#

It’s not gonna be in a situation where heating gets bad

mossy venture
#

And a 3600 instead of 3600x

worn wave
#

ABS has some $1000 pre-builts that I suggest you look at

obsidian wigeon
#

skytech received okay reviews on gn tho

#

so idk

mossy venture
obsidian wigeon
#

it's luck based

mossy venture
#

You will regret it

serene pulsar
#

😂😂okay @mossy venture

worn wave
#

Most of skytech stuff is overpriced though

serene pulsar
#

That much of trauma huh

mossy venture
#

Out of four people I talked to other than me with skytech builds they all had awful experiences

obsidian wigeon
#

but that price and those specs

#

big ew

mossy venture
#

One the case broke

serene pulsar
mossy venture
#

Came* broken

obsidian wigeon
#

799 for those, you can build one and still get better gpu with a mix of used and new parts

Hey team, currently in the middle of a build. I purchased a DIYPC Shadow H3 which came with a fan hub installed. It looks like to connect the fan hub I can either use a 5V 3 pin or a GDV connector. Mobo is MSI B550 Gaming Edge Wifi. I've plugged the 5V into the "JRAINBOW" port with no luck. Any ideas?

anyways not sure how to hook it up to mobo I don't think I used mobo sync with it

I just had it hooked up to the reset switch

I've had $20 cases that don't even have cable management holes or a glass window still include 3

I’ve had a couple $50-60 cases they didn’t include them

#

It really ain’t a big deal lol

I didn't take off 2 stars for that

worn wave
#

I got a Phanteks Revolt Pro recently and it came with a crap ton of zip ties

#

Usually PSUs dont come with as many as this did

earnest olive
#

I took off 2 stars for the crap fan hub that would basically force you to buy a splitter instead

#

which then puts the case into like, 4000d airflow price point

#

and at that point it's just... why

#

there's definitely better cases for the money

fossil cedar

Just get a p360a instead of rgb potato

not even being able to use the cable management holes with most motherboards is a problem

I think they designed the case around some kind of nonexistent form factor

I just tested out my i7-950 on geekbench, and unfortunately the single core and multi-core scores were pretty weak, I think single core was 500ish points and multi core was 2000 something, is this going to create a bottleneck for gaming if paired with a gtx 980?

I want to upgrade the whole system
