mossy venture

Aus

#

But some newegg pcs ship to aussie

#

Someone here was utilizing that the other day

coarse mesa
#

mhm

frank stirrup
#

switch country to us

#

and look how bad shipping is

fossil cedar
#

Yikes, arw you in the us?

#

Ahh no point currency converting btw

frank stirrup

# coarse mesa mhm

I'm looking at the site you're looking at, thr same pc. Don't buy that, it's not only overpriced but uses awful parts

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

That mobo is prolly cheap asf

coarse mesa
mossy venture
frank stirrup
#

all abs prebuilts that dont suck in that range are out of stock

#

pato

coarse mesa
#

:/

mossy venture
# coarse mesa :/

Ehat would you think of a newer apu build till you can find a gpu to throw in it?

#

Depending on how bad the shortages are there hopefully you could find a 3400g or similar apu for close to msrp and make a build around that

#

Id say 5600g but I'd bet those are being scalped to heaven and back

coarse mesa
#

not too sure

frank stirrup
#

they fine stock wise

mossy venture
#

Even in aus?

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

Oh cool

coarse mesa
mossy venture
#

That's better than any pre built you'll find for that range

#

Do you think you'd be comfortable building one yourself?

fossil cedar
coarse mesa
#

Yeah my friends and I were hunting

#

Everythings overpriced

mossy venture
#

Silicon shortage, pandemic doesn't help

coarse mesa
#

perfect time for my pc to completely die

#

graphics driver crashed alert while it was in sleep mode, i need a new pc fast

mossy venture
#

I'm guessing you're gaming?

#

What games do you play?

#

Or want to play?

coarse mesa
#

Gta, warzone

#

common games and a few others

mossy venture
#

Yeah you'll want a 16 series or better then

coarse mesa
#

but i need good multitasking and stable recording

mossy venture
#

Warzones min reccomended gpu is 1650

coarse mesa
#

yea

mossy venture
#

A 10400 would be more than enough

#

Nvidias nvenc feature would help with recording

coarse mesa
#

yeah i5 10400 and 11400f are pretty much what im set on for cpu

mossy venture
#

10400 is more than enough

#

I have the amd equivelant of a 10400 paired with my 3060 ti

coarse mesa
#

nice

#

well thanks for your help, really appreciated but i gotta jump off, have a good one

dusky hearth
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8f9sqp any revisions to this? note that this is for a vtuber streamer's pc, so it should be quiet, and be able to handle a vtuber avatar, streaming, and gameplay at the same time. (they were going between the 3070 ti and 3070, but i told them to go for the 3070)

mossy venture
#

I'd go with a b550 and a different ssd imo

dusky hearth
floral ore
floral ore
#

And a b550 f gaming WiFi mobo

mossy venture
#

Check ssd buying guide in pins in storage channel

#

As for mobo I'm not 100% sure, but b550s tend to have better vrms. B550 f I believe is up there with the ones to go for

#

There's not much you can get for $500. Are you in the us?

#

Wait

#

Oh

#

Bruh

#

You don't have to give anyone crap to help you

#

One sec

#

I'll find a link

#

Are you gaming?

#

Are you comfortable with building one yourself?

#

Or having someone build it for you ig

#

It'll be more balanced and higher quality

mossy venture
#

Sick

#

@fossil cedar you happen to have a parts list for a 5k budget?

#

Should be, a lot of people do, but assuming you have throw away money you could just pay someone to build it

#

Whichever you want

#

@frank stirrup you happen to have one?

#

I dont know psus/cases enough to give a complete parts list

frank stirrup
#

a 5k build?

mossy venture
#

Yeah

frank stirrup
#

what do you intend to use it for?

mossy venture
#

I figured 5900x/10900k with a 3090

#

It's for gaming they said

frank stirrup
#

Ahh I got you

#

1 sec

#

maybe like 2 mins

#

but yeah

mossy venture
#

I was gonna just grab an abs build but they seemed to be less worth it for 3090 builds

#

The only decent priced one I saw had 10850k and no reason for a 5k budget

little osprey
#

Good 1440p 240hz 24 inch monitors ?

#

they said no budget

mossy venture
little osprey
#

Nah they keep asking for 240hz but they are still doing esports games

mossy venture
#

Bruh

frank stirrup
#

@little osprey

#

the 3090 is just a placeholder

#

buy whatever 3090 you can get ur hands on

mossy venture
little osprey
#

Yes

#

I suggested that already

mossy venture
#

Yes?

#

Yo @frank stirrup

Nice discount from og price

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

jagged ember
#

Ebeg detected

#

Reeeeeee

#

Lmao ik

#

I like joking about ebegging as well

serene pulsar
#

Isn’t 3070 ti better then 3060 ti and 3070

obsidian wigeon
#

3070ti is a tad better

#

like very miniscule

mossy venture
#

2%

obsidian wigeon
#

but more heat

mossy venture
#

And much hotter

obsidian wigeon
#

cause gddr6x

fossil cedar
#

3060 ti is like 10% worse than 3070 ti

serene pulsar
#

@fossil cedar not rn

#

No prebuilts in stock

#

Still waiting a month I just check everyday

#

Imagine if I wait till cyber Monday and everything is out by then🥱

potent portal
fossil cedar
#

Well i mean newegg have a black friday garuntee if you buy now

serene pulsar
#

Wym

#

Bro we talked about that metal can

#

No way

serene pulsar
#

More money gonna need to be spent then worth

fossil cedar
#

Fair nough

serene pulsar
#

Is the i7 11700 nice?

fossil cedar
#

It's decent yeah

little osprey
#

O i must have missed

#

Sorry fal

potent portal
#

They don't make a lot of 24 inch 1440p displays, at least not many good ones. There was 27 inch ones I gave though.

#

.

fossil cedar
#

Why 24" 1440p

#

What's the point lol

#

And 240hz sweatblob

little osprey
#

They have money but not much knowledge of pcs

#

they scalped 2 3080tis and kept a third

potent portal
#

It's a 95% chance they can't tell the difference between 120 and 240

little osprey
#

Ye🤣

#

They are on 60hz rn

#

Lmao

fossil cedar
#

M27q is like 180hz

#

Close nough xD

potent portal
#

M27Q is the budget king though, there are better, more expensive displays

little osprey
#

They said 27 is way too big

#

They are very confusing

potent portal
#

It's... 3 inches bigger diagonal

little osprey
#

exactly

#

🧐

obsidian wigeon
#

27 inches too big?

#

wth

#

it's barely any bigger

potent portal
#

Well I stand by what I said, there's no good 24 inch 1440p 240+Hz monitor

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

#

only 1080p

#

1440p makes no sense to be in 24"

little osprey
#

I tried convincing them

fossil cedar
#

24" 1080p 240hz 👌 , 1440p 240hz 24" Cringe

little osprey
#

Saying 4k is useless on 24 inches

obsidian wigeon
#

Then they're gonna have a bad time

little osprey
#

And 240hz is iffy for 24 inches

fossil cedar
#

Unless they sit bang in front of their monitor like 30cm away 27" fits nicely in their view

little osprey
#

and the reply they came up with is “sure i’ll get a 240hz 1400p 24-25 inch”

obsidian wigeon
#

bruh

little osprey
#

Mmhm

potent portal
obsidian wigeon
#

0

little osprey
#

Like 24-25 inch

#

Just why 🤣

mossy venture
#

I use a 1080p curved I think 24in

potent portal
#

Mr unlimited budget should upgrade his desk if he can't fit a 27 inch monitor

mossy venture
#

Maybe 22in

little osprey
#

Curved 💀

mossy venture
#

Tbf

#

I bought it when I knew nothing about pcs

mossy venture
#

It's not a huge curve

#

Was a 140$ aoc monitor 165hz so good price

#

Let me find the link one sec

#

It's gone way up in price

#

Goes up every time I check it

little osprey
#

The amount of curve isn’t what im worried about

mossy venture
#

Not the best monitor but I could've bought worse considering I didn't know anything lmao

little osprey
#

It’s that it is curved in the first place and VA panel

#

Sadge

#

My first monitor was 1080p 27in 75hz

#

IPS

mossy venture
#

Sorry, I still don't know a ton about monitors

#

Whats wrong with that?

#

My first monitor was a 60hz 1050p lmao

#

Awful color accuracy on it too

worn wave
#

My first monitor was a CRT :)))

potent portal
#

My first monitor was CRT also

#

And I overclocked it too 😎

mossy venture
#

I tried ocing my 1440p 75hz monitor

#

If I coulda hit 90 I'd use it for my main monitor

#

Couldn't even do 76 kek

#

My main I can oc to 170 but no point

worn wave
#

This one right here

little osprey
#

Wait so was there a good 240hz 1440p 24 inch

mossy venture
#

My other side is the 1050p monitor, never tried ocing it and never will

little osprey
#

Or should i just send the 27 inch ones

potent portal
little osprey
#

#

Finally got my wifi card in, and I even managed to install it without having to ask how! Even better, didn't break anything!!! 😄

#

although I did get scared, my pc couldn't find bootable drives at first, so I just powered off and started up again then it worked

#

much pog

#

I now can play stuff like league on 55ping instead of 98 😄

frank stirrup
#

remember to install drivers!

#

GG tho

tough shell
#

it automatically works?

#

how do I install drivers then? zonkom

stoic island
#

What wifi card?

frank stirrup
#

^

tough shell
#

the one you guys recommended >.<

#

gimme a min ill find it

stoic island
#

Ax200 drivers will be from Intel

tough shell
#

EDUP WiFi 6 Card AX 3000Mbps PCIe Network Card with Bluetooth 5.1 & Heat Sink AX200 802.11AX 2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz Wireless PCI Express Wi-Fi Adapters Dual Band Antenna for Windows 10 64-bit

frank stirrup
#

AX200

#

there ya go

stoic island
#

Ye

tough shell
#

I tried doing it through device manager and it didn't find any newer updates

#

am I good then, or does that not show all of them?

frank stirrup
#

download and install

stoic island
# tough shell it automatically works?

On installation, windows usually automatically gets you a driver that allows it to work, but you'll usually want to update it again as windows usually pulls older drivers

tough shell
#

😮

tough shell
#

these are the only ones available

stoic island
#

What the

tough shell
#

the top one is what I want?

stoic island
#

Wait

frank stirrup
#

click that

#

should directly start the download

stoic island
#

Yea that specific link should work, I'm confused on why the screenshot is missing that specific option though

tough shell
#

lol

tough shell
#

anything I need to change in here? or good to go?

#

already turned off the "shut this off to save power" thing

frank stirrup
#

you can keep that on

tough shell
#

i don't pay for power

#

so tbh idrc

frank stirrup
#

also you just needed to install the drivers

tough shell
#

done and done

#

🙂

#

already restarted too

frank stirrup
#

Nice then

#

ur good to go!

#

Quick question where the smart build people at

#

I have a cooler master 850w gold plus PSU from 2014.currently upgrading GPU CPU SSD AND MOBO. And ram. Do I need a new PSU or is this one sufficient

hallow glen
#

2014 sounds kinda sus but idrk. the watts are fine tho

stoic island
#

Keep in mind capacitors lose capacitance over time

#

So keep that in mind as a reason if you do run into issues

stoic island
#

Older PSU might also have tripping issues

teal musk
#

Idk it’s never had issues.
Upgrading to 3060 TI

#

computer has never ran under a full load or for too longer

#

Long**

stoic island
#

Ampere does spike quite high in terms of power draw

teal musk
#

Yeah but 850 w should be more than enough right? I know it’s like 6-7 years old… should I just try without upgrading PSU like would it be harmful to do that?

stoic island
#

That kinda thing

teal musk
#

What are the cons. Like would it just go out? Fry my GPU? What

stoic island
#

Well. . . Worst case it blows up maybe, protections prob can't take into account deterioration over time, it might just overheat, but I doubt old tt smart has otp, so it wouldn't shut itself off that way

#

It's just eh, the model is kinda bad

#

I don't really want to trust the protections on a 7 year old tt smart

#

Wait

#

Not tt smart

#

I'm blind

#

@teal musk what PSU is it?

teal musk
#

Cooler master 850w gold plus

#

From 2014

stoic island
#

Do you know the specific model?

#

Like V Gold 2013?

teal musk
#

RS850-AFBAG1-US

#

V850 gold yes

#

Idk that’s the model number there^

stoic island
#

It should be okay then, protections should kick in if anything does go wrong

teal musk
#

Awesome THANK YOU been standing around Best Buy for a minute lmao

stoic island
#

It's also 10 year warranty afaik, so you can also go yell at Coolermaster if anything goes wrong, and they should be able to refund and/or help you

teal musk
#

Did not know that thank you lmao

#

Helps a ton

stoic island
#

It's either 7 year or 10 year actually, might've misread

#

But you're welcome

#

It's really a seasonic unit rebranded by CM

teal musk
#

Any quick tips on copying my OS and uploading on new computer parts?

#

I know I could probably google it but I have a feeling you’d be more quick and to the point

stoic island
#

Fresh install windows can be helpful with random crappy issues that have popped up on your old windows install over time, it also helps with you being able to see what you actually need to install and what's practically just bloatware you installed at one point and never used again

#

But also, windows doesn't really like being directly copied over from one drive to another (weird issues can pop up), there's also just random weird registery things

#

You can always copy over the actual files you want after clean installing windows too

teal musk
#

Sorry shoulda been more specific. I want a fresh install just need to copy my license ?

stoic island
#

You can also link it to your Microsoft account and activate it that way

teal musk
#

I think that’s how it works right? So I don’t have to repay

#

Whatttt really?

#

How lol

stoic island
clever eagle
#

ok

serene pulsar
#

Opinions on better one for the buck

potent portal
#

First one

stoic island
#

I think there are still better options, I'll check in a bit

potent portal
#

11700 can be actually worse than the 10700

#

And 3070 ti is definitely worth $200 more than 3060 ti

serene pulsar
#

My budget is 1600-1800

serene pulsar
stoic island
serene pulsar
#

But that’s surprising

potent portal
#

I was referring to the second one having the 11700f

stoic island
#

It's close to the same performance chip

potent portal
#

Yeah, it depends on what you're doing with it but sometimes it's 5% better sometimes 5% worse

serene pulsar
#

The 3070 ti is only 8 GB tho

potent portal
#

So? That's enough for 4k gaming

stoic island
#

.....?

serene pulsar
#

Oh it is?

I don't see why "only 8 gb" would be an issue

serene pulsar
#

I just see 16 GB typically next to all the 3060 ones so I’m used to it

potent portal
#

Yes, don't let the GPU companies tell you that you need more because right now you don't

#

16gb would be system memory

stoic island
potent portal
#

3060 non-ti is 12gb

serene pulsar
#

I meant ti yeah

stoic island
#

Well 3060 has 12gb gddr6 but yea

#

3060ti has 8gb gddr6

serene pulsar
#

So where do you guys see better ones in Newegg

But bigger memory bus

I filter from lowest price to see and don’t see that many options below 1800$

Thoughts?

#

anything not work?

little osprey
#

I'd get a better memory kit and maybe power supply if i were you

#

I'd suggest a 16gb kit of 3200MT/s memory, or if you're sure you only need 8gb, then an 8gb kit at 3200

coarse mesa
#

memory is not really a priority for me

#

and that can easily be changed later but this is already pushing my budget

does anyone have any alternates to a 3060 ti or when it might restock somewhere

zealous edge

Or would you not mind amd?

buoyant flare
#

yeah i would prefer it but if its the only option i dont mind too much

zealous edge
#

Well you can always keep trying to get a 3060ti.

#

It's ultimately up to you.

#

You can look at some AMD alternatives, but they also may not be in stocks as you may know.

#

Do you currently have a previous gen GPU?

#

Use that as a place holder and keep trying to get the 3060ti.

buoyant flare
#

no im trying to start a first build and it seems i chose the worst time to do so 💀

zealous edge
#

Ok.

#

So I would say, just keep looking everywhere.

#

For the card that you prefer, it also depends on luck, and of you are ready when the cards are in stocks at that moment.

buoyant flare
#

yeah im hoping that they possibly restock in November, if not i'll wait and see in the new year but try look everywhere

zealous edge
#

Yea.

#

Maybe get on the wait list if you have a computer store near youm

#

you could start by building a pc with integrated graphics

and then upgrade later

a lot of people took that approach

Yea or that.

Ooh those are always fun. Everyone always has different ideas for an all out build.

Is open box risky??

autumn wolf
#

depending on the product but for the most part no its not risky

#

at most youll probably be missing a manual or some other form of paperwork

serene pulsar
#

I mean I was just surprised seeing a 3070 build under 1700$

#

Wanted to buy and make sure I wasn’t ripped off

#

There is also this

#

750W compared to the other 650W

mossy venture
serene pulsar
#

It actually has a Gammax cooler and the other only has rgb Cooler

#

Bacca there is a third one too

#

Can you check that out for me

mossy venture
#

650w is fine for a 3070 and i7

serene pulsar
#

Compared to the second one

#

The third looks like it is mesh front cover I’m not sure

mossy venture
#

Yes that's mesh

serene pulsar
#

And it has deepcool cpu cooler

#

With still rgb fans

#

No peripherals or warranty with these but I’m sure it’s fine

mossy venture
#

Idk, the first of these two has better case cooling and a worse cpu cooler, second one has better cpu cooler and worse case cooling. I'd prolly throw an extra fan or two in and get the second (third) one

#

Also the first one doesn't say a model of 3070 so you could end up with a ventus or smthn

#

Oh wait

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

That third one has fans on the front

#

Didn't see them

What's the best cooler for the 10400f?

#

best and cheapest I should say

mossy venture
trail sundial

I had been lead to believe that the stock cooler is basically useless

mossy venture
#

Stock cooler is rated to I believe cool it enough so it doesn't throttle, but I could be wrong

trail sundial
#

thanks, I guess that should be sufficient

stoic island
#

well, it'll get loud and it'll boost lower than it otherwise would

stoic island
trail sundial
#

I am very budget limited, but in general should I just save longer and go for a 5600X build?

stoic island
#

uh

#

what gpu

trail sundial
#

gtx 980, but I do a lot other than gaming

stoic island
#

what board

trail sundial

such as cad and just general multitasking

#

I do not have a board yet

stoic island
#

uh, so do you have 10400f yet...?

trail sundial
#

no, I'm trying to figure out what I should do for my build

stoic island
#

if you live near a MC a lot more fun options do come into play

trail sundial
#

I unfortunately do not

#

I'm kinda limited to online providers

stoic island
#

still have 400$ 10850k options tbf

#

but well

#

10700f around 300$

trail sundial
#

so the 10700f over 5600X?

stoic island
#

I mean, cad, depends on the program, but 8 cores can help

Yeah I couldn't find a cheaper 3080 build by abs, i think 10900k is unnecessary but it's the cheapest in stock so 🤷

Hello. I am a beginner WRT mini PCs. Trying now to buy a barebones one on NewEgg and have questions. Called manufacturer twice and they hang up on me both times without answering questions. Hoping someone here can help. NewEgg chat sent me because they don't have answers either.

earnest olive
#

what questions

#

just ask

gusty crest
#

Main question is this: I am looking for a small personal computer. I look at this: https://www.newegg.com/asrock-4x4-box-v1000m/p/N82E16856158065 - All ready to buy it, however I am not sure if it has a cable to connect my SSD, or do I need to buy a cable. I called ASRock to ask, and they tell me that machine is a SERVER not a personal PC. So** WHAT** is the Difference?

#

I don't want to buy the wrong machine.

potent portal
#

It has M.2 ports for SSDs, they require no cables

earnest olive
#

you can use it as a personal PC, that's fine

#

and yes, you will need an m.2 ssd

gusty crest
#

I have a SSD for it.

potent portal
#

Servers aren't that different from standard PCs

earnest olive
#

no cables, plugs directly into the motherboard

#

your existing SSD may not work with it

#

is your existing SSD a big plastic rectangle larger than a credit card

#

cause that won't fit

gusty crest
#

It's a 2.5" one

earnest olive
#

yeah

#

you need m.2

mossy venture
#

M.2s plug right into the motherboard

#

Theyre a version of ssds

#

Tend to be faster and a bit more expensive

gusty crest
#

The "product specs" says it has 1 x 2.5" HDD/SSD

rugged spear
#

They tell me the machine is a SERVER and not personal PC. So WHAT is the Difference?
No monitor, no OS and no DE probably. ||(I don't know what I'm talking about)||

gusty crest
#

I have monitor, plan to use linux and don't know what DE means.

potent portal
#

It does indeed say sata 3 port, it's probably like a laptop then where it still doesn't need a cable

rugged spear
#

Desktop Environment. If you are planning to use Linux, then that's good for you then.

#

I think.

#

maybe.

earnest olive
#

it's got integrated graphics

#

you can use it as a personal PC no problem

#

the only problem would be if it was intended to be a headless server

#

and didn't have any display outputs

potent portal
#

You'll need to buy some so-dimm laptop memory if you get that computer too

earnest olive
#

but it does

#

should be fine for daily work use

#

don't expect to do anything heavier like video editing very quickly

#

it'll be doable but not amazing

gusty crest
#

I don't do much video editing.

#

It seems to want laptop-size memory.

earnest olive
#

yes

#

that's what sodimms are

rugged spear
#

To be honest, $300 for a small PC with three-monitor output doesn't sound like a bad deal at all.

potent portal
#

And a vesa mount so it attaches directly to monitor

#

Not very powerful but for the intended purpose it doesn't need to be

gusty crest
#

One of the reviewers says it runs well with Linux.... my only remaining hesitancy is that if I happen to need any tech support I will probably have to call those surly guys who hung up on me. All I did was ask them to speak more slowly so I could understand them. They yelled at me and said "To us, YOU have a heavy accent and YOU are hard to understand".

rugged spear
#

newegg can also support via emails, no? If you have a thick accent, noisy phone lines may not be the best way to get support maybe.

earnest olive
#

outsourced tech support

gusty crest
#

I don't have an accent if your native language is US English.

earnest olive
#

ahh

#

gotta love it

rugged spear
#

oof

gusty crest
#

These guys sounded like maybe Japanese, Korean or Chinese. I couldn't tell. Not East Indian or Filipino.

potent portal
#

Well, there's always us. Plenty of people here can guide you through 9/10 problems.

rugged spear
#

People here literally guided me to build my first PC from scratch.

gusty crest
#

Yes, but only after I get it up and running. 9/10 chance the only problems I will have will be setting it up.

#

I do not have or use a "smart phone".

rugged spear
#

I mean, you can grab a cheap camera and take pictures maybe?

gusty crest
#

I have built desktop PCs and repaired laptops. Never had a "mini" PC before.

potent portal
#

They're basically the same as laptops in a smaller form factor

gusty crest
#

What I mean is that I won't be able to get on discord until I have it up and running. All I have now is a dead laptop. I am at a friend's house using his computer to buy a new machine.

rugged spear
#

I would have never guessed that till you told us that.

gusty crest
potent portal
#

Well chances are the only issue you'll have is how to make an install USB

gusty crest
#

The "memory finder" on NewEgg doesn't work for this so I am not sure it will be the right thing.

#

An install USB means Linux on a flash drive, right?

potent portal
#

Looks right to me

#

Yes that would be one way, depending on what OS you want to use

gusty crest
#

Linux.... how many are there?

potent portal
#

Too many to count

#

Most people start with something Debian based like Ubuntu and Pop

gusty crest
#

What's the difference?

potent portal
#

User experience and interface mostly

#

Both have decent app stores that will have just about any kind of software you'll need

gusty crest
#

that I don't use a smart phone?

rugged spear
trail sundial
#

Is there a point to get a z590 for a i7-10700f?

potent portal
#

No

#

B560

#

If not a "K" processor you have literally no use for "Z" board

gusty crest
#

OIC. Yes, I have an 11-year-old Toshiba Satellite but the power button is shot and I can't turn it on. I have a new power button waiting to be installed but I'm afraid I'll goof it up.

Yeah Z490 would be fine, probably about the same price as B560 and still unlocked

earnest olive
#

anyways it's a fine build for the budget, rx 580 may not be good enough for some VR games though

#

VR games tend to be even more sensitive to frame drops than regular games

potent portal
#

Agreed, 580 is getting up in years

rugged spear
#

Is asrock B450M a good fit with AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (assuming manufacture had updated their BIOS to support 3rd gen)?
