Lol

earnest olive
#

okay I thought you meant it in a good way

potent portal
#

Could shoot for a 5600/XT, better than the 580

#

Thank you!

potent portal
earnest olive
#

5600xt is around $500

rugged spear
zealous edge
#

5600xt is definitely a better alternative.

earnest olive
#

5700xt is the mining meta though

zealous edge
#

But then again... price...

zealous edge
rugged spear
#

5600xt is around $500
Ooo... I don't know. A bit on the high side...

earnest olive
#

it just depends on how much budget you have, the rest of that build is good enough to support up to a 3070

zealous edge
#

Just before GPU prices staring going ballistic

earnest olive
#

would be fine with a 3090 if you had a better case and power supply

#

considering it's not going to be at 1080p

#

the 3600 is enough CPU for the 3090 at higher res

#

so just scale up the GPU as much as you can afford, don't worry about bottlenecks

zealous edge
#

It is.

earnest olive
#

that case and power supply will do okay with a 3070

rugged spear
earnest olive
#

np

full atlas
#

How’s this

earnest olive
#

if you could manage to cop a 3060ti FE for 400 or 3070 FE for 500 from a BB drop that would be the best of course

#

but easier said than done

zealous edge
earnest olive
#

oh wait

#

I forgot you don't want nvidia

zealous edge
#

religious reasons

#

LOL

earnest olive
#

well, I've heard very bad things about AMD drops

#

apparently their website likes to ban humans instead of bots

fossil cedar
zealous edge
#

What's wrong with Nvidia lol?

earnest olive
#

he doesn't like proprietary drivers

full atlas
#

Those cases are bigger tho

fossil cedar
#

Yeah nvidia is best bang for buck atm and their drivers unless on Linux really then ppl dont like sometimes

zealous edge
earnest olive
#

I know radeon drivers are open source on linux, dunno about windows

fossil cedar
#

Yeah didn't think they were open source on windows but haven't looked into it

zealous edge
#

Iirc they are not.

#

But not 100% sure.

earnest olive
#

aiming for an FE 3060ti or 3070 and mining on the downtime to compensate for stretching the budget would've been the best option for sure though

fossil cedar
#

6600xt/6700xt would doooo but ehh not as good

earnest olive
#

6600xt does 32 mh/s at 55w so it's pretty goated from an efficiency standpoint alone

#

but that doesn't factor in price per card or the fact that you need 2 to match other cards

#

6700xt, well... there's a reason why miners straight trade BNIB 6700xt for used 5700xt

earnest olive
#

5700xt is still the best all things considered

zealous edge
#

Yea

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

not really when you think about rdna2 architecture

#

they use infinity cache to alleviate the fact that they're using gddr6 non-x on a 256-bit bus

#

in terms of gaming performance

#

much less focused on the actual vram

fossil cedar
#

Yeah i guess

earnest olive
#

technically 3070 laptop GPU should be the raw efficiency king over 6600xt

#

but that's a laptop so

#

hard to shove multiple of them into one board lol

fossil cedar
#

Yeah but laptop lol

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

😳

#

desolder laptop gpu

#

someone in china or russia is crazy enough to try it

fossil cedar
#

I mean probs

earnest olive
#

chinese dudes are making BGA to LGA adapters and russian dudes are soldering more vram to their 3070s lol

fossil cedar
#

I mean Nvidia does run laptop gpus on pc hardware to test gsync so it's not not doable

earnest olive
#

gotta love aliexpress engineers

#

i9-9980HK on Z170

serene pulsar
#

Wait lol can someone explain the whole part difference between skytech and other companies versus ABS

#

There was some terminology I didn’t get. Something about ABS using the normal market parts

#

And the other companies using something else

earnest olive
#

most of the smaller system integrators will be using off-the-shelf components

covert vapor
#

OEMs use proprietary parts, ABS and others use normal parts that you can just go out and buy yourself

earnest olive
#

because they don't have the scale to manufacture their own stuff

#

off-the-shelf parts means you can upgrade whatever you want by yourself down the line

#

bigger companies like d*ll will use proprietary parts that only work with other d-ll stuff

#

it's designed to not be upgradable so you just buy a new machine and spend more money

#

HP also used to be like that but lately their gaming PCs are starting to use parts that aren't quite off-the-shelf, but are compatible with them

#

so you can upgrade them yourself

gusty crest
#

Can someone tell me what kind of glue I need for replacing a laptop's power button? It's a Toshiba Satellite P770D.

earnest olive
#

I'd imagine any glue that bonds to plastic is fine but I have no idea

gusty crest
#

It's the little thing that attaches to the motherboard, not the external button.

earnest olive
#

ehh just make sure it's nonconductive

gusty crest
#

thanks

earnest olive
#

the conductive parts are covered in solder mask

#

at least I think so

#

a nonconductive glue that can bond to materials such as plastic and resin should do the job

little osprey

#

This guy really doesn't listen lol

analog pulsar
#

could someone make a pc part list for 800-900 buget

potent portal

That's a 10100/950 build probably, I'm on mobile and pcpp hates my browser or I'd do it

okay ill send them this

xps13, total with tax included 1915

fossil cedar
#

Jesus no

#

That's a 4 core cpu I'm pretty sure

fair quartz
#

ok i originally wanted a macbook, especially the new one that just came out but too expensive

#

any other recommendations, linux preferably

zealous edge
#

1915 lol

fair quartz
#

i can afford up to $2000

zealous edge
#

You can get a better G Series for that much.

fossil cedar
zealous edge
#

Fr

worn wave
#

You can install Linux on pretty much any laptop

fair quartz
#

i need it for school and work

zealous edge
#

Ok

#

What about the older generation M1 Mac?

fair quartz
#

i need something heavy duty since i code a lot

zealous edge
#

Any gaming or no?

fair quartz
#

and also do video editing stuff

#

no gaming

#

i have a pc for that

zealous edge
#

And only considering a laptop?

#

Ah ok makes sense.

fossil cedar
#

Ehh programming is pretty light weight, compiling can take a bit if working on very large files but apart from that it will run on a potato monitor and keyboard

fair quartz
#

yes i need it to be a laptop, i work remote, plan on working on the go for the next couple of months and also starting computer science school in january

worn wave
#

It depends

fair quartz
#

so yea i need something good

worn wave
#

Some languages can require lots of RAM

#

Also depends on the size of the actual program

fossil cedar
#

Like definitely don't need a 2k laptop for it

#

Video editing will make it worth it ish

worn wave
#

Hell no but compiling and debugging can eat RAM up

fair quartz
#

i want something that will also last, not buy this week and i have to get something new next year or the other

worn wave
#

If you are just a CS student, you do not need lots of RAM most likely

fair quartz
#

if its < 32gb i dont want it

#

any recommendations would be much appreciated

fossil cedar
fair quartz
#

I'll check it out. thank you

stoic island

How much is having Linux on there worth to you...?

gritty ruin
#

For some reason, my monitor isnt recognizing my pc. Right now I have it connected through my hdmi port fpr the motherbord. Wasnt working for the graphics card either. Anyone know a reason for this?

stoic island
#

@gritty ruin was it working before?

gritty ruin
#

Nope. Never. No matter what, it wont show.

#

It can only turn on and thats it

stoic island
#

Yay normal troubleshooting steps time

#

@gritty ruin take a picture of the insides of the PC

gritty ruin
#

Kk give me a sec

stoic island
#

Also, tried different HDMI cables yet in case broken cables?

gritty ruin
#

They worl with my old pc

#

Work

topaz kestrel
#

new monitor?

gritty ruin
#

Ok check this

#

Im gonna fix that ssd later on.

topaz kestrel
#

@gritty ruin what cpu?

gritty ruin
#

I5-10400f

topaz kestrel
#

doesnt have integrated graphics

gritty ruin
#

With gammax 400 V2

topaz kestrel
gritty ruin
#

And plugeed it in

#

Still didnt work

topaz kestrel
#

well plugging it into your motherboard wont be doing anything

#

dead card prob

gritty ruin
#

Im new to this so i didnt know

#

The card was working

topaz kestrel
#

you got a display port cable?

gritty ruin
#

Fans were spinning

#

Yes

topaz kestrel
topaz kestrel
gritty ruin
#

I just got it brand new

#

Brand

topaz kestrel
#

couldve been doa

#

worst case scenario

#

but plugging it into your motherboard wont work since its not a cpu with igpu @gritty ruin

gritty ruin
#

I see

#

Im gonna change it to display port

#

And see if it works

topaz kestrel
#

on your gpu

#

not mobo

#

it wont work on mobo xd

#

also what psu do you have?

gritty ruin
#

Ok hold up

topaz kestrel
#

that shouldnt be the issue

frank spire
#

happened to me

topaz kestrel
#

@gritty ruin did it not work with the display?

topaz kestrel
#

i was expecting him to try that anyways

frank spire
#

i was using displayport then it happened and i needed to use hdmi

gritty ruin
#

My hdmi wont fit in it

topaz kestrel
topaz kestrel
#

ofc it wont fit in the display port

gritty ruin
#

Muffin

#

I noticed that my 24 pin cable isnt all the way in my motherboard socket.

#

Does it need to be all the way in?

topaz kestrel
#

what do you mean? like its not in properly?

gritty ruin
#

Hold u0

#

Yes It is not flushed

worn wave
#

Push it all the way in

topaz kestrel
gritty ruin
#

Wouldn't it break my motherboard though? I applied alot of pressure but never went in

#

Ill try to do it

topaz kestrel
#

wait

#

is that in the wrong way?

#

it looks odd

worn wave
#

Does not look like it

topaz kestrel
#

guess not

gritty ruin
#

It is not the seperate one

topaz kestrel
#

it looked weird

gritty ruin
#

Alright im gonna give it a try

#

Thanks guys

sterile path
#

well remeber when i said i needed the money of the gift to get enough money, well i got a lot more than i expected so i can buy my pc now.

#

but its almost impossible to get 6800xt, so what should i get as a temporary gpu

pine junco
#

Would anyone be able to dm me and help me find out if my stuff is compatible?

little osprey
#

Just post it here, im sure a lot of people would be willing to help

kind vortex
#

maybe

wispy matrix
#

So whats the usuage for the build?

kind vortex
#

holy

wispy matrix

so we got a budget of 1k

kind vortex
#

as i can see

#

not a bad build

wispy matrix
#

do you have the 3060ti already?

cerulean root
#

no

#

i has case and fans

wispy matrix
#

kinda hard to find that one for that price

earnest olive
#

was gonna say that's a whole lot of power supply for a slot powered 1050

kind vortex
#

holy

cerulean root

but i see you want to upgrade to 3060ti

warning about the sn550

wispy matrix
#

mushroom im making a list

earnest olive
#

it has been stealth nerfed... it's not as good as reviews may lead you to believe

cerulean root
#

no dram or something?

wispy matrix
#

its been nerfed

earnest olive
#

they just nerfed its performance by downgrading it without telling anymore lol

cerulean root
#

why?

earnest olive
#

$$$

#

why else

cerulean root
#

bs

#

and the price went back up im changing lol

#

wait nvm

#

that tb version

#

what would be the easiest gpu to get?

#

i have a 1050 for the meantime but.

wispy matrix
#

@cerulean root do you already have the 2tb?

cerulean root
#

accually 3

#

couldent find exact model

kind vortex
#

gay

earnest olive
#

be warned that montech cases are a bit on the flimsy side in terms of structural integrity

earnest olive
#

yeah, it's a very good budget case besides that

cerulean root
#

lol, so just be careful when building

earnest olive
#

the steel they use is a little flimsy to keep costs down

#

yup

cerulean root
#

kk

earnest olive
#

don't bend the panels

cerulean root

k

#

im going to put it on my bed until im ready to build with it, cover it every night and cuddle

#

lol jk

#

what are chances a person wins newegg suffle?

#

shuffle*

earnest olive
#

overall a very good part list. i'd recommend changing the ssd to 1TB Team MP33

#

shuffle prices aren't great

cerulean root
earnest olive
#

often more expensive than just straight up buying from a scalper

#

for example, the 3090 bundle in today's shuffle was ~40% more expensive than buying a 3090 from a scalper

cerulean root
#

even the cheapest option?

earnest olive
#

and the bundled item was just a motherboard

wispy matrix
#

i would change the gpu price

cerulean root
#

hahahahahahahahahahahahaa

wispy matrix
#

give me a sec

cerulean root
#

omg i seen that motherboard too

#

is it worth to go to atx?

#

is there a real upgrade or just nice and look better?

wispy matrix
#

actually that gpu price is somewhat near msrp

cerulean root
earnest olive
#

the b560m pro-vdh wifi is one of the best b560 boards

#

i am pretty sure the board he put is worse

cerulean root
wispy matrix
#

lemme change it

earnest olive
#

do you need wifi?

wispy matrix
#

pato is around i think

cerulean root
earnest olive
#

then there you go, the pro-vdh wifi is cheaper

cerulean root
#

ye

earnest olive
#

just stick with it

cerulean root
#

is there rgb ballistix?????

earnest olive
#

yes

cerulean root
#

yes mine

#

there goes my wallet

wispy matrix
#

you want me to put that on the list?

cerulean root
#

ye

earnest olive
#

go Team MP33 over Team MS30

wispy matrix
#

ill change that give sec

earnest olive
#

you really don't need 750w but for $5 more i guess why not

wispy matrix
#

thats why i grabbed it

cerulean root
#

or almost

earnest olive
#

uhhh

#

power supplies are generally not being scalped lol

wispy matrix
#

ye

#

its only gpu's

#

i think

earnest olive
#

and some cpus

cerulean root
#

cpu

#

lol

#

ok, guys, what is the best advice you can give me for getting a 3060, 1660 super, 6600xt, 2060 super, ect.

wispy matrix
#

also show me your current 3tb storage so i can add it

earnest olive
cerulean root
earnest olive
#

ah

#

well

cerulean root
wispy matrix
#

well if you want one rn you can get one for like 400 dollars more

#

like whats it called

cerulean root
#

i know its a contellation sed es.2 or something

#

it has 3tb

earnest olive
#
  1. camp outside at best buy
  2. buy one of the 3080ti or 3090 that gets left behind
    3a. scalp it
    4a. buy a lower end gpu with the markup
    5a. pretend you got it at msrp

3b. trade for lower end gpu + cash

cerulean root
earnest olive
#

get lucky or wait until 2023

cerulean root
#

so what time do i have to be at best buy?

#

couldent i just get a 3060 ti fe?

#

or are they online only

wispy matrix
cerulean root
#

or cant i just get a 1660 super? or something slightly cheaper

earnest olive
#

the thing is

#

most people at best buy are like you

#

and want to buy the lower end ones

#

so the chance to get the lower end ones is much lower than one of the higher end ones

cerulean root
#

what time must i be there

wispy matrix
#

this is the cheapest one ive seen so far

cerulean root
earnest olive
#

depends on how populated your area is

#

some people start camping the day before

cerulean root
#

other than go outside and look?

earnest olive
#

i don't bother camping

#

i couldn't tell you

cerulean root
#

frick

wispy matrix
#

there is a 6600xt for 599.99

earnest olive
#

i'm a full time student with 2 jobs i don't have the time to camp for a gpu lol

cerulean root
#

lol

earnest olive
#

he said he can only afford msrp

cerulean root
#

i can go up a max of 500$ for gpu

earnest olive
#

scalped 6600xt from r/hws tends to be around $580 but no tax

#

in my city that's equal to $533.33 + tax

Ok can someone help?

I have a ABS gladiator. Wifi is great but I guess Bluetooth is not built in? Also one of the fans up top isn’t on. Did it get disconnected during shipment or do I need to turn it on manually on the software?

earnest olive
#

did it advertise bluetooth

stiff halo
#

Yes

earnest olive
#

take a pic of the inside of the pc let's see if any fan cables are loose

#

go to windows settings and search bluetooth, might be turned off

stiff halo
#

I see the wifi card but it just says wifi no Bluetooth text next to it

#

I can’t turn on Bluetooth and it’s also not listed under device manager.

earnest olive

does it say something like intel ax200

I already own a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. I am trying to build a pc around that for $500-$550. I would like to go the AMD way. I already picked out the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and the B450 Tomahawk too. Could anyone give me a solid build around that? If so, I would really appreciate it if you could DM me. I am new to building PCs.

cerulean root
#

so you guys are saying, that only chance that i get a gpu, is 1. buy scalped, or 2. go camping for 1-3 days

#

is there a way to tell when a gpu going to restock soon? at bestbuy?

earnest olive
#

you are really gimping yourself if you demand to go AMD

#

intel has been the budget option for a while now

#

i'm not going to get into the reason unless you really want to know

#

but you'd be much better served with an i3-10100 or i5-10400

cerulean root
#

how good is the i3?

#

like would it bottle neck a 3060 ti?

earnest olive
#

also, ryzen 5 1600 is at an absolutely comical price right now

#

so you really should not get it

earnest olive
#

you can almost never say a gpu bottlenecks a cpu or vice versa as a blanket statement

#

in general, you would not want to pair an i3-10100 with a 3060ti

#

but there are situations in which the 3060ti would be bottlenecking the i3-10100 as well

stiff halo
#

Okay here

#

Oh. I can’t add photos here lol

you need to be level 3 to post pictures

that is a wifi card

:concern:

#

oh

#

nvm

stiff halo
#

It looks like there’s no Bluetooth eh? Just wifi

earnest olive
#

i can't tell you

#

the card pictured there is merely an adapter

#

the actual wifi card is on the bottom and i cannot see it

stoic island
#

Wifi usually means bt too

earnest olive
#

go into device manager and see what the wifi device is named

#

i also can't see where that fan ought to plug in, looks like the case is too cramped to offer a good view of the edges of the motherboard

#

you should use your finger to feel for cables coming out of that fan

#

give a gentle pull to help you figure out where that cable is going

#

i must warn you that if you do find the loose connector, do NOT plug it in while the pc is on

#

turn it off first

is there a way to tell if a bestbuy is going to restock gpu?

crap it didn't work @earnest olive

perhaps the bluetooth portion of your card is just defective then

last time i helped someone find a laptop they ended up being in canada

@earnest olive I was just letting you know that in that build I got the MB, GPU, and PSU in a trade for labor. So im just looking for parts to pair with it to flip.

Does anyone know if the p400 comes with screws that fit in the rog strix b550-f gaming?

earnest olive
#

$200 is a bit steep for a 3600, try to find a cheaper used deal

fathom shoal
#

mb i meant 3080

earnest olive
frank stirrup
#

Maybe 2300

urban trellis
#

Are the shortest screws the one for the motherboard?

earnest olive
#

the manual will clearly indicate which screws are to be used for the motherboard

urban trellis

It doesn't say which screws it needs

but you know

if i were you

i would sell the mobo and use that money to get a lower end cpu+mobo

putting a 3100 in an x570 aorus elite is... well

lol

People need to give a number instead of "budget" or "cheap"

I might have a 3700

sell the mobo

restive halo
earnest olive
#

work? yes

#

be a sensible pairing? lol no

restive halo
#

lol

#

to much?

earnest olive
#

...obviously?

#

you are pairing one with your 3060ti

#

think for yourself for a second ok?

restive halo
#

yes

earnest olive
#

rx 570 is less than 1/3 of the gpu of a 3060ti

restive halo
#

but I was also thinking that they could upgrade later

frank stirrup
restive halo
#

I have never done a flip

earnest olive
#

free rx 5700

#

you're welcome

restive halo
#

Just built PC's based on the parts they give me

frank stirrup
#

I wouldnt go higher than a 3600 for an rx570

#

Ideally 3100

earnest olive
#

i did 3700x + rx 570 once

#

but it wasn't for a gamer

frank stirrup
#

Watch me sell a kidney to buy a 5950x with my rx570

earnest olive
#

primarily photoshop with some gpu accelerated effects

restive halo
earnest olive
#

be a decent person and build a rig that makes sense for the budget

#

don't screw over someone that doesn't understand what they're getting

#

sell the pointless x570 mobo and buy something lower end to make a more sensible pairing with the rx 570

#

sell it for cheaper since you no longer need to drop $200 on a cpu that's too much for the rx 570

restive halo
#

What should I sell if for?

earnest olive
#

the mobo?

restive halo
earnest olive
#

what condition is it in

restive halo
earnest olive
#

...

#

😐

#

does everything on it work?

#

physical condition?

restive halo
#

the guy bought a prebuilt for the computer he already had and only took the gpu and cpu out gave me the rest

#

the ram is trash though

earnest olive
#

try selling the mobo for $150 asking price

#

it's retailing for $197

restive halo
#

would that motherboard pair well with the 3700?

earnest olive
#

yes but then you'd want a better gpu

restive halo
#

I was also thinking of sellint them as a pair

earnest olive
#

works

restive halo
#

what do you think I could get?

earnest olive
#

3700x + x570 cpu + mobo only $370 bundle deal

restive halo
#

that would buy most of the parts for the flip

earnest olive
#

yup

restive halo
#

so say I do that the all I have is a gpu and a psu. What do you recommend to build it out for a good gaming build flip

earnest olive
#

@frank stirrup hows ram oc going

kind vortex
#

holy that linus

kind vortex
#

i shall take the ram

earnest olive
#

i assumed you already had the ssd + ram

#

i would leave out the hard drive and offer it as an option instead

kind vortex
#

is the 10100 a good apu anymore?

earnest olive
#

apu?

kind vortex
#

i mean integrated cpu

earnest olive
#

it's still good for a budget build yes

kind vortex
earnest olive
#

oh

#

you meant without a gpu?

#

would not use the 10100 without a dgpu

obsidian wigeon
#

3200g is pure sad

earnest olive
#

3200g is fine for an integrated graphics build

#

but not good to upgrade

kind vortex
#

ima go for 10100

earnest olive
#

cause the cpu side is very weak

kind vortex
#

but only 2666mhz ramssadge

earnest olive
#

you can run the 10100 with faster ram as long as you are using b560, z490, or z590 mobo

there's lots of em

@earnest olive whats the mining program called

earnest olive
#

t-rex

your 3070 is going to be nerfed for crypto mining

whats that mean

earnest olive

all of the new cards are LHR

obsidian wigeon

they don't mine as well as the non-nerfed cards

i dont mine

restive halo

then why'd you ask and say that

serene pulsar

i was just asking what the mining thing is

#

?

earnest olive
serene pulsar
#

im not educated in that

obsidian wigeon
#

alright

#

well lhr cards makes you earn less with mining

#

that's as basic as that

earnest olive
#

mining allows me to not feel like i'm wasting my 3080 playing league on it

obsidian wigeon
#

there's still some people around here, mainly white names that thinks mining is bad

earnest olive
#

when i tried uncapped fps on 3080

obsidian wigeon

and that it's taking gpus away from gamers

#

tfw a gamer mines too

it's just not the biggest problem

alright mate, grab the cardboard box your case came in

you can build even on tiled floor

I once replaced a cooler and cpu on a carpet lmaooo

Did they die?

vague oracle

But it wasn’t like one of those shaggy carpets, so it barely builds up static

Nope they still work fine

Oh nice

Still not recommended tho

static is unlikely to kill pc parts

extremely unlikely

obsidian wigeon

I one time did an impromptu ram upgrade on my laptop, on my chair

but extremely unlikely is still more likely than zero

and it's an easy risk to avoid

why i picked i3-10100F over ryzen 5 1600: mostly single core performance

Is it a bad idea to remove the HDD cages just so I can have more room to put my hand in and connect the cables to the psu

doesn't matter that you have 6c/12t if the 6 cores all suck

you can get rid of the cages

sips was right

i can't help ya

earnest olive
obsidian wigeon
earnest olive
#

any board with no vrm heatsinks is really just bad

coarse mesa
earnest olive
#

unless you are going to use some heavily power limited T series CPU or something

#

and even then you still really shouldn't skimp that hard

restive halo
earnest olive
#

b560 is a better choice compared to b460 because it allows you to use higher frequency ram

#

ram speed is very important for cpu performance in gaming

#

the cooler was what you already had, but it's a fine cooler and not much reason to change it if you wanted red lighting anyways

#

the vetroo v5 is also fine

obsidian wigeon
#

10400f and 2400mhz ram

#

that's a huge performance hit

vague oracle
earnest olive
#

source?

vague oracle
#

Give me a few, a guy explained this to me way back

earnest olive
#

i have a few vetroo v5s

#

interested

vague oracle
#

Im just going to copy and paste what he said once I find it

earnest olive
#

thanks

restive halo
#

Yea I put one in my wife's build to

vague oracle
#

“There are no reputable/thorough reviews when it comes to the Vetroo v5, the only things we can rely on are personal testing as well as the huge amount consumer reviews. The Vetroo uses a hydraulic bearing, hydraulic bearing are very vulnerable to dust and tend to have a short life span, and the Vetroo isn’t an exception as we can see from the mass amount consumers who have reported loud noise or fan failure. The only way I could recommend the Vetroo is if the consumer were to do a full fan swap. Some possible considerations if doing a fan swap are Gelid Stella(if you want RGB) or Arctic P12s(If going for a color neutral build), the Stellas coming in at $11 while the P12s are coming in at $10.”

#

Said by Perky on the flipping central discord @earnest olive

earnest olive
#

not at all surprised that it's using a cheaper bearing

#

it's still the cheapest way to get a fully black or white argb cooler into a build

vague oracle
#

What about the 224XT

earnest olive
#

replacing the fan with another cheap argb fan down the line isn't a significant downside to me imo

vague oracle
#

Isn’t the V2 all black?

earnest olive

$10 more than the vetroo

So, I was going to scrape bottom of the barrel for a new laptop (10300h, 1650, $650) but then I stumbled across this for $200 more when looking though pre-black-friday sales (seems a bit early for those imo, but I'm not going to complain). Laptops are not my forte, so I don't know what's considered "good", spec wise or for the money. Is this worth taking a look at or waiting for Black Friday proper?
