Ohh how the turns have tabled

[frank stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/for-sure-just-friends-ryan-reynolds-chris-brander-gif-17915156

Oh speaking of ryan reynolds

Im watching the red notice rn

[fossil cedar]

Ohh is it good?

[frank stirrup]

idk started 5 mins ago

Cant go wrong with the rock, gal gadot and ryan reynolds

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[jaunty tulip]

Good morning

Quick question,if I have a question based on ram in my laptop, would I ask it here on in memory?

[fossil cedar]

Sure, what's your laptop and i assume you want to upgrade your ram?

[jaunty tulip]

Yes, but here's the thing

One of my DIMM slots has 2 tabs on it (slot 2). Furthermore, ram I put into that slot don't appear in my PC once I turn it on and check the uefi

[stoic island]

What laptop?

[jaunty tulip]

This is an hp pavilion 15

[stoic island]

And what ram?

[jaunty tulip]

Ddr4 memory sodimm

Hhhmmm

Well nevermind, I'm all good

The solution was just "seat the memory even farther back and be VERY CONFIDENT seating the memory in"

[stoic island]

Oh lol

[fossil cedar]

Yeah sodimm can feel like it's in but not be sometimes

[jaunty tulip]

I still don't know why one DIMM slot has those 2 tabs. Is it for a better friction fit?

[stoic island]

I hate HP's manuals though, can't view them on mobile

[jaunty tulip]

Manual? I looked up a video

[obsidian wigeon]

sodimm is a bit hard to put in correctly

[stoic island]

Manuals tell you why things are there and what is there

[jaunty tulip]

I know that, but in this case all I was doing was changing the memory. I've disassembled this laptop before, so I knew there were no components between opening the case and unseating the memory

[frank stirrup]

Which tabs u talking about?

Circle em in a pic or something please

[stoic island]

I was saying manual could tell you what the tabs are for, since I can't open up the manual and check for you

[jaunty tulip]

Oh that makes sense

[dense sparrow]

Since Black Friday is nearly there, I need some help to make sure it’s good 100%
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/pHymwz

is this parts good?, mines for editing and gaming, editing gaming meme videos

[obsidian wigeon]

The tabs are to hold the ram in

So that it won't pop up

[frank stirrup]

Oh the clips at either side?

Yeah those hold ram in

[jaunty tulip]

Look on the left DIMM slot. There are 2 extra tabs that aren't on the right DIMM slot. They protrude a few millimeters inwards and a few upwards

[obsidian wigeon]

I wouldn't do hyper 212 on 5600x

[dense sparrow]

lian li galahad 240?

[frank stirrup]

Those are just to keep it securely in

[jaunty tulip]

That's what I assume they are, but I wonder why they are on one DIMM slot (the one without memory from the store) and the one with pre installed memory did not have those same tabs

[obsidian wigeon]

ye I recc aio

[frank stirrup]

Arctic freezer 280

[obsidian wigeon]

Or get arctic liquid freezer ii

[dense sparrow]

aside from that, all good?

[jaunty tulip]

Thanks for the help lads

[obsidian wigeon]

Well 280mm aio would be nice

If possible

[dense sparrow]

ill get the lian li 240 since im getting lian li lancool 2 mesh

[obsidian wigeon]

But ya it's all good apart from cooler

Ballistix is nice

[dense sparrow]

dominator?

[frank stirrup]

Get a 750w psu

[obsidian wigeon]

Corsair ram is bad

[dense sparrow]

so no dominator

[obsidian wigeon]

ye

[dense sparrow]

theres no 280 lian li

its 240

[frank stirrup]

Get the msi agf 750w

[obsidian wigeon]

Well if you're fine with liquid freezer ii

[frank stirrup]

Arctic freezer 280mm

[dense sparrow]

more watts?

[obsidian wigeon]

They have 280mm

[dense sparrow]

its fine, im getting 240

[frank stirrup]

Yeah

[dense sparrow]

why? just wondering

[frank stirrup]

Dont

[obsidian wigeon]

better value and cooling performance

[frank stirrup]

Lil bit of power headroom

[dense sparrow]

why?

[jaunty tulip]

I like crucial memory, but also it was the cheapest option at microcenter... So

[frank stirrup]

Arctic freezer has a great great cold plate and mount for ryzen chips

Galahad is great on intel but arctic freezer is the best when it comes to amd

[frank stirrup]

Its great ram for sure

I have my kit runing at 3800c14

Brrr

[obsidian wigeon]

I got samsung ram so that it matches the samsung stick currently in lappy

[stoic island]

Crucial is good

[obsidian wigeon]

Ballistix ddr3 was oof tho

As far as I've heard

[dense sparrow]

why do i need more? seems like i dont

[worn wave]

great value, more headroom

[frank stirrup]

More headroom and upgraade to better gpu don the line easier

Since power supplies last a heck ton of time

[fossil cedar]

Well my first question is why do you need a high refresh 1080p and a high refresh 1440p? Or are they just 2 options?

[dense sparrow]

2 option depends on gpu, 3060ti- 1080p, 3070- 1440p

[fossil cedar]

Fair but fyi 3060 ti is only like 10% worse than 3070 so not a massive difference

[fossil cedar]

Id do this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/C2PD68

[dense sparrow]

i get 3060ti?

u mean like 3060ti and 3070 dont have much difference?

[fossil cedar]

Whichever you can find

Yeah 3070 is like 3060 ti +10%

[dense sparrow]

i see

ok

so 1080p if i get 3060ti

@fossil cedar

[fossil cedar]

Either

@frank stirrup trying to reinstall windows from usb on olddd laptop, can't get into bios for some reason or boot menu, is there a way to reboot direct to usb from windows?

[dense sparrow]

i think 1080p? what u think

[fossil cedar]

Do you wanna play mainly fps games?

[dense sparrow]

prob like warzone

idk

[frank stirrup]

Yessir

[fossil cedar]

Up to you

[frank stirrup]

Hold down shift and then hit restart

Oh wait

That works only on win 10

[fossil cedar]

Tried that

It's on win 10

[frank stirrup]

Lemme send u a file

[fossil cedar]

I'll try thanks

[frank stirrup]

@fossil cedar did that worky?

[fossil cedar]

Idk the battery kinda poopied and i think the charger just gave up

Nvm the switch tripped

@frank stirrup still brings to this

[frank stirrup]

Hmmm

[fossil cedar]

Yis odd

[frank stirrup]

@fossil cedar is the disk mbr or gpt

Like the internal hdd

[fossil cedar]

God knows lemme check

[frank stirrup]

If its mbr use mbr2gpt

[fossil cedar]

It's gpt

[frank stirrup]

Stronge

Uninstall one key maybe

Since thats interferinh

[fossil cedar]

Hoowww

[frank stirrup]

Search it in the windows search thingie

Go to its folder

[frank stirrup]

Hmm

[fossil cedar]

Lol

It's not a windows program afaik

Because it launched out of windows when i try every time to boot to bios it brings me there lol

[frank stirrup]

Ok so

[fossil cedar]

Where i put that

[plain grove]

I bought a new gpu but when I turn it on it turns off

[frank stirrup]

Ignore that

[fossil cedar]

You have the display connected to the gpu?

[fossil cedar]

Okie

[plain grove]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

Can you send a pic of your pc?

[frank stirrup]

Maybe use the reset function in settings to get rid of all data and reinstall

[plain grove]

Wdym

[frank stirrup]

Because one key is interfering

[frank stirrup]

A pic of the motherboard and everytging attached to it

[fossil cedar]

^

[fossil cedar]

This was talking to me not you btw

[fossil cedar]

Can you show a pic of the back of your pc

Also holy wires

[frank stirrup]

Like where all the usb and stuff is

[fossil cedar]

I'm gonna launch the exe off the install usb and try that first

[frank stirrup]

Oh yeah that does the same thing

[frank stirrup]

@plain grove

[plain grove]

Now it’s running but it’s on the vga light

[frank stirrup]

Thats the back of the pc

That we want to see

[fossil cedar]

Hmm try a different port

[worn wave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhNAYq7zcXA

[plain grove]

So how do I get it to connect

[frank stirrup]

Those many cables cannot be anything but bad for airflow

Tell me what mobo and gpu u have

[fossil cedar]

Take out the hdmi cable and try a different port first

[plain grove]

I tried that

[sharp tangle]

is ur monitor on the right input?

[fossil cedar]

Should have an auto mode

[plain grove]

Wdym

[sharp tangle]

welp nvm ignore me

[fossil cedar]

What motherboard and cpu?

[fossil cedar]

Referring to this

[plain grove]

It’s not the monitor it’s the gpu and the pc because I use to use a 650 with it before

And it worked

But the gpu is msi GeForce 1650 super

[flint sapphire]

Allow me to also add to the chaos

[frank stirrup]

Man answer our questions please

[fossil cedar]

Cpu and motherboard?

[plain grove]

Cpu is i5 10th gen

[frank stirrup]

Which one

Theres like over 10

10th gen i5s

[fossil cedar]

Doesn't matter tbh no bios issues with 10th gen

[frank stirrup]

We need exact models

[frank stirrup]

IGPU very helpful in scenarios like this

[fossil cedar]

True

[flint sapphire]

Any chance a faulty old 650 driver could be messing with it?

[plain grove]

MSI B560M PRO-VDH ProSeries Motherboard (Micro-ATX, 11th/10th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1200 Socket, DDR4, PCIe 4, M.2 Slots, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2, 2.5G LAN, DP/HDMI) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZJDXZ62/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FMNV5PJHH8G3YDEW8JTY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[frank stirrup]

Would boot

[fossil cedar]

^

[flint sapphire]

Tru

[plain grove]

Intel Core i5-10400F Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.3 GHz Without Processor Graphics LGA1200 (Intel 400 Series chipset) 65W, Model Number: BX8070110400F https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086MHSTWN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_7A13NHVB1E3RE1C1BCE5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[fossil cedar]

@plain grove what exact cpu you got btw?

Ahh okay

F cpu damm

[frank stirrup]

No igpu

[flint sapphire]

Ah f

[plain grove]

So currently my pc is working but it’s on vga

[fossil cedar]

Huh?

Your gpu doesn't have vga

[worn wave]

So your HDMI cable is bad?

[flint sapphire]

Wait so the gpu works just with a vga cable?

[worn wave]

Oh the Debug LEDs

Try reseating the GPU and the GPU power

[plain grove]

It works but the vga light is on in the motherboard

[fossil cedar]

Just make sure the power cable to the gpu is in all the way

And if not reseat the gpu

[plain grove]

It is

[worn wave]

Try reseating it

[fossil cedar]

^

[flint sapphire]

Make sure its all the way in

[fossil cedar]

Yep

[plain grove]

Wait so could grounding screws be the issue

[fossil cedar]

What

[worn wave]

No

[flint sapphire]

I’m out

[fossil cedar]

Just take out the gpu and gpu power and put them back in

[plain grove]

I did that

[fossil cedar]

Already?

[plain grove]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

Hmm

Try clear cmos

If not, reseat the ram

[plain grove]

Alright can you can me the instruction manual real quick

[fossil cedar]

What?

[plain grove]

Nvm

I reset my ram and it’s still not working

[fossil cedar]

Reseat?

[plain grove]

I already reset it

[fossil cedar]

Took it out and put it back in again?

Reseat btw not reset

But yeah, I'd clear cmos

[fossil cedar]

Okay? Looks fine

[plain grove]

Alright any other reasons it could say vga?

Could the gpu be the problem?

[fossil cedar]

Possibly but just try clearing cmos first

[plain grove]

What’s cmos?

[frank stirrup]

Unplug pc from the wall

Remove circular looking battery from mobo

Wait 5 mins

That battery

@plain grove

[desert gulch]

Or use a jumper

[plain grove]

Alright I’ll do that when I get home

[frank stirrup]

Why do people ask for help when they arent home...

Or when they have to leave soon

[frank stirrup]

F

[little osprey]

anything i should change and what case should i get? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BWczz7

[frank stirrup]

Whats the budget

[little osprey]

under like 1500$

[still roost]

Caiden#5025 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[frank stirrup]

You need more storage or is 500gb all u need?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wqhL68

@median inlet Maybe split up the message into various parts

[little osprey]

i actually didn’t think abt that

i edit so i need storage

tysm

[frank stirrup]

You can grab a 2tb barracuda hard disk if u want btw

Like extra

Its 50$ or so

[little osprey]

i got money so bet

hehehe

[median inlet]

It is in various parts

[little osprey]

also should i get a cooler for the cpu

[frank stirrup]

Various messages is what I meant

[frank stirrup]

Crap didnt see that there was no cooler

Sorry

[little osprey]

it’s alr

it’s cause i have extra money and idk if the stock cooler is good enough

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qvbzz7

Overkill cooler but yeah

You can get away with a frost spirit 140

Or a se-224-xt

Frost spirit is a lot better than se 224 xt

But the freezer is the best cooler for ryzen cpus

So yeah its ur call

If you want to spend all that money I would recommend a better psu like maybe an msi a-gf 750 or a revolution df

But yeah all ur call

[little osprey]

alr thx

[median inlet]

Ok l will try

[little osprey]

the pc is def perfect for me so i probably won’t be upgrading it until next next christmas lmao so ima keep it like that

[little osprey]

ty again

[frank stirrup]

No worries!

[median inlet]

I just put my message as a screenshot

[frank stirrup]

[little osprey]

also with that compabiloty warning thing what should i do to fix it?

a bios update right

[frank stirrup]

Why are u using the backplate the mobo came with over the backplate that shipped with the cooler

[frank stirrup]

You most probably wont have any issues

But yeah if you do, its a bios update you need

Its been nearly a year since zen 3 dropped so unless the mobo has been sitting on shelves since last year, it should ship with a compatible bios

[little osprey]

also i gotta question

so rn i got a prebuilt pc already

1500$

and i’m wondering

[median inlet]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. It came with an intel backplate not an amd backplate

[little osprey]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-trace-mr-gaming-desktop-intel-i7-11700f-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-6gb-480gb-ssd-1tb-hdd/6465329.p?skuId=6465329

that’s the prebuilt i got rn

should i return it and get the parts from pc part picker

[frank stirrup]

https://www.amazon.com/Mounting-Bracket-forfor-ID-Cooling-ZOOMFLOW/dp/B08SBL4KS2

[little osprey]

or should i upgrade that pc with some of the parts from the pc part picker

if i go for the pc part picker i gotta go return the computer

[frank stirrup]

I would use that with the 3060 u have in ur list and the cooler I linked

[median inlet]

I already put that on the cooler

[frank stirrup]

On?

Send a pic?

The backplate includes which you think is intel only has holes for amd and intel

Make sure to use the correct one

[median inlet]

This is what l need

[frank stirrup]

Nope

You need

Those

That come with the cpu cooler

[little osprey]

so i should upgrade it next year and get the 3060 and the cooler?

[frank stirrup]

Please read the manual

[frank stirrup]

You can yeah

[earnest olive]

flip it around

[full atlas]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7MTxy4 how’s this cheap list

[minor garnet]

Yo got a Corsair ice 220t case and was wondering could I mount the fans that are at the fro t o the outside? Cause I’m using a 360mm rad so I could get more space for a bigger gpu??

[median inlet]

You can’t

It told me to keep the backplate

[little osprey]

alr yea i’ll wait i can probably still run games good i think

[median inlet]

It says use the intel backplate but if l don’t use intel then use the motherboard backplate which l did but l think something is wrong because when l went into bios my cpu temp was 84 degrees Celsius

[frank stirrup]

So the mobo backplate obviously isnt it

Flip the one the cooler came with as orange said

[median inlet]

Correct

[frank stirrup]

If you know this why u refuse to use the intel one flipped

[earnest olive]

you could also try holding the backplate in place if slipping out is the problem

i've had to do that on some aios with poorly designed backplates

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jqN4K3

[frank stirrup]

Also try tightning the screws

Should help with slipping

[fossil cedar]

Have you already bought the stuff?

[full atlas]

I’ve bought the case and ram, they used to be in my pc but I upgraded them

Then the gpu is my dads he said I could have it

I was sent the psu and cooler

Got the ssds at micro center for free

[earnest olive]

fwiw that gpu gets chokeslammed by modern integrated graphics

you're better off getting an APU

even the UHD 630 in an i3-10100 non-F can beat it

and igpus can access 2gb "vram" as well

1gb vram is going to be a big problem in almost 2022

[full atlas]

i mean It works for easy to run games like valorant, rocket league, and other easy to run esports titles

[earnest olive]

debatable

[fossil cedar]

1gb ram is rough

[frank stirrup]

And the non f 10100 will run em even better

[little osprey]

20 DISCOUNT GAHD DAMN

[earnest olive]

i would not call sub 60 fps in esports titles playable

[full atlas]

It’s about 60 FPS

Low settings ofc

[fossil cedar]

Huh?

[frank stirrup]

On the pee es you

[earnest olive]

nvm that benchmark had a terrible cpu bottlenecking it

found a better one

yeah it runs valorant fine

[fossil cedar]

Ohh the rebate ya

Even tho that gpu had 1gb vram

It's still tiny bit better/equal to uhd 730 so

[full atlas]

Ye and like a 10105 would have 630

[earnest olive]

the igpu probably has more oc headroom than the hd 7750 lol

you could get the uhd 630 to win

[full atlas]

And costs like 30$ more than the 10100f

[frank stirrup]

Eh get a 3400g or something and call it good

[earnest olive]

lol oh god i found a benchmark of warzone on fx-6300 and hd 7750

why did they even try

[frank stirrup]

No

Stop

Bad

Grrr

[jagged ember]

lol did it even run

[full atlas]

Lmao

[earnest olive]

they managed to get it to like 20 fps at 800x600 lowest settings

this is at 720p

ouch

[frank stirrup]

surprisingly playable

[fossil cedar]

#playable technically

[earnest olive]

sus

my god fullscreen this image and look at those graphics

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/positively-scrumptious-snail-eat-eating-spongebob-gif-19810305

[earnest olive]

hes playing roblox

[frank stirrup]

Wait you mean yall dont play like this?

Cries is non 30 series card

[earnest olive]

me playing league of legends at lowest settings on a 3080:

[fossil cedar]

Me playing csgo at 1080p on a 3070

[earnest olive]

me playing a mobile game at lowest settings and 60% render scale on a 3080

[frank stirrup]

Oh I actually get more fps than u in that

3600 c14 ram go brrrrr

[earnest olive]

only 3600?

pathetic

[frank stirrup]

No that was typo

3800c14

[fossil cedar]

Wouldn't be surprised, at 3600 and a rx 580 your def still cpu bound

[frank stirrup]

Yeah

[fossil cedar]

Also even tho your 3600x degraded, you have late sample i have early am pretty sure

[frank stirrup]

Yeah it holds 4.35 giggy higgies

[median inlet]

I followed the directions but this is the problem

[fossil cedar]

If you push the backplate in, can you screw them in further?

[median inlet]

No

[fossil cedar]

Okay, what directions did you follow?

[median inlet]

If l turn the backplate around the AM4 standoff screws aren’t long enough

[median inlet]

The id cooling directions that l posted before

[fossil cedar]

Can you repost?

[median inlet]

Yeah one sec

[fossil cedar]

Hmmm

Odd

Did you thread them in the right side or are the standoffs equal on both sides?

[median inlet]

They are threaded how the directions say too

[fossil cedar]

Hmm, whats the name of the aio again? Ik Id cooling but what model?

[median inlet]

It’s the zoomflow white

[frank stirrup]

Which backplate u turning around btw

[median inlet]

The backplate that the motherboard came with

[frank stirrup]

Please just use the backplate the cooler shipped with

And turn it around to the am4 side

[fossil cedar]

@full atlas btw forgot to send this to you https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZrfcdD

[frank stirrup]

Itll solve all ur problems

[fossil cedar]

Rawr your supposed to use default mobo backplate for ryzen usually

But yeah i guess if they shipped you an am4 backplate use that

[frank stirrup]

Nah

Coolers say you CAN use that

But most suggest u use the one they ship with

The same backplate that fits the intel socket fits amd

Just different holes for the 2

[median inlet]

An amd backplate did not come with the cooling system

[frank stirrup]

Use the intel backplate

And the screw holes that say amd

[frank stirrup]

This is from ur manual

Please read

[fossil cedar]

@median inlet

I can't zoom out on it for some reason but sam backplate, different holes

[frank stirrup]

Thats how almost all coolers work btw

[fossil cedar]

I was able to keep on stock backplate fine

🤷‍♂️

[frank stirrup]

Yeah but it isnt exactly optimal for all coolers

The one they ship with the cooler is

[fossil cedar]

Hmmm

[frank stirrup]

It can fit just fine

But the one made for the cooler does fit fine

No can or maybe

[median inlet]

I am trying to figure this out because l did use the motherboard backplate and it worked but the temp on the cpu was high and wasn’t used properly

[frank stirrup]

Look either listen to our fix or just stop asking

[fossil cedar]

@frank stirrup https://youtu.be/7DsJhwaFLno how to video from them lol

For my cooler

No manual on their site for the 224, odd

[fossil cedar]

So, take off the motherboard backplate, use the one they sent, with the holes i showed above instead

[median inlet]

The amd backplate is on the left it is rectangular and it came with the motherboard. The installation instructions say to keep this backplate. The backplate on the right is for intel. The screws in the backplate are fixed and cannot be taken out

[frank stirrup]

Yeah its cooler to cooler

[median inlet]

I am using a amd mounted motherboard

[frank stirrup]

Always better to use the one they ship tho generally

[fossil cedar]

They didn't send you anything else in the box?

[median inlet]

No

[frank stirrup]

Ask for replacement

Or write to support asking for an am4 backplate

[frank stirrup]

This is better option

[median inlet]

I did but they sent the same stuff

[frank stirrup]

Then you probably didnt write to em properly

[median inlet]

I did though

[fossil cedar]

Can you show us everything that they sent you, minus the actual aio and fans?

[frank stirrup]

Then they would have sent you the right thing

Id cooling support very nice

[fossil cedar]

Are they? Good to know

[fossil cedar]

You tried both those backplates?

[frank stirrup]

Send a side on view of the way the standoffs are inserted btw

[median inlet]

They are the same ones that id cooling sent

[fossil cedar]

Hmm, try with the amd backplate again, and just do the bracket on the front bit, because you missed that step i think

[frank stirrup]

Caiden send a side wise angle pic of how uve put the standoffs into the backplate btw

[fossil cedar]

Nvm this, thread is first

But ehh make sure you threaded the standoffs in the right way

[median inlet]

I will send a pic then but I’m messaging Amazon which is where l bought it from

Btw my cpu is a ryzen 5600g

[frank stirrup]

Thats gonna do nothing

Like literally useless

Did you contact amazon the first time too?

[median inlet]

Yes l did and they sent the same stuff

[frank stirrup]

So when I said contact id cooling support and you said you did, u didnt contact id cooling support?

No wonder you didnt get the right thing

Can you PLEASE just listen to us

[median inlet]

Id cooling sent the stuff

[frank stirrup]

Or dont ask for help at all

[frank stirrup]

AMAZON sent the same stuff

You never contacted id cooling

Please

Use ur head a little

[median inlet]

I contacted id cooling

[frank stirrup]

Send screenshots of what you asked em for

And what they said

[median inlet]

They didn’t say anything back

[frank stirrup]

So then show me what you said

Screenshots

[median inlet]

They just sent us the same stuff that originally came with my aio

[frank stirrup]

That was amazon sir

You already said that

[frank stirrup]

[hushed vortex]

lighting kill it

[potent portal]

[hushed vortex]

[little osprey]

and 1000w for 180$ https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-RM1000x-Fully-Modular-Supply/dp/B08R5PH1VY/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3JJ1PHYUMC3SP&keywords=1000w%2Bpower%2Bsupply&qid=1636836410&sprefix=1000w%2Caps%2C351&sr=8-4&th=1

[hushed vortex]

1660

[fossil cedar]

Bro

[median inlet]

It is an email and it is not a note my phone is on dark mode. I cropped the email because l don’t want anyone to see it

[fossil cedar]

You need a 500w psu

[little osprey]

1660+ 9700k should be ok even with 600w lol

[frank stirrup]

Im sorry but i dont believe you

[fossil cedar]

@hushed vortex https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3F2rxr/corsair-cx-2017-650w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-cp-9020122-na get this

[hushed vortex]

when i order my pc it did not let me pick lower wat power supply

[fossil cedar]

Okay so

[frank stirrup]

Because u have a dell pc

[fossil cedar]

Bro

Dell is proprietary

[frank stirrup]

And they enjoy making u pay more for garbage

[fossil cedar]

You cant even use any of these

[little osprey]

i use 1000W with 12900k and rtx 3090 lol

[frank stirrup]

Alienware to be accurate

[hushed vortex]

yes

[frank stirrup]

But same difference

[hushed vortex]

it was only 400$ pc

[fossil cedar]

If you have Alienware you need a dell psu

They're proprietary

[hushed vortex]

no

im rebuilding

[fossil cedar]

And surprisingly dell makes really good psus

[little osprey]

i wonder if their mobo have custom connection to psu

[hushed vortex]

the bord die

[fossil cedar]

Ohh

[hushed vortex]

the bord is 300$

[fossil cedar]

Then get this

YOU BOUGHT A 300$ 3 YEAR OLD BOARD??

[potent portal]

Oh so you're getting a new case, motherboard, and power supply?

[hushed vortex]

no lighting kill it

[little osprey]

z390 mobo is 130$ max

[hushed vortex]

hear all the part im replaceing https://pcpartpicker.com/user/bunnytv/saved/#view=4HkxHx

[frank stirrup]

Btw kids remember that bunnytv has been known to troll and lie in the past

[vague oracle]

My real question is why he is VIP/rookie at the same time

[little osprey]

i would change mobo to z390

[frank stirrup]

He

[hushed vortex]

yes guy

[blazing saffron]

Hey, i working on my first build, i mean the list here, do you think i should change some stuff? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/RJk3K3 THX

[potent portal]

The cooler for sure needs to change

[hushed vortex]

i seee Compatibility: Warning! These parts have potential issues or incompatibilities. See details below.

[potent portal]

That's normal

[little osprey]

im not sure about 750w psu for 6900xt

[blazing saffron]

that the update maybe

[vague oracle]

What’s the budget and use case?

[fossil cedar]

Do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qQWL68

[little osprey]

why 175$ mobo lol

[hushed vortex]

no fan cooling

[little osprey]

heres very cheap z390 mobo lol https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157855?Description=z390&cm_re=z390-_-13-157-855-_-Product&quicklink=true

[hushed vortex]

not for a 9700k that is over clock

[hushed vortex]

i have that bord in my amz cart

[blazing saffron]

ok thx guys i will look at this

[frank stirrup]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/8dhL68

[fossil cedar]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/qpPd3Z I'd do this

[fossil cedar]

Next cheapest was a 95$ asrock

[fossil cedar]

Where the vrms tho

[little osprey]

i remember i got msi z390 for 110$ when i had built 9700k build lol

[hushed vortex]

for cooling im going with a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082DYKB1F/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

[fossil cedar]

Huh that's a very good cooler and will handle a 9700k perfectly

[vague oracle]

Ahh no fan cooling because overclock yet goes for NZXT

[frank stirrup]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/jgMQF8

This look better

All white

@blazing saffron

[vague oracle]

Looks like bunny is back at his trolling

[fossil cedar]

If you wanna go aio get an arctic liquid freezer/lian li Galahad/ek rgb

[little osprey]

or asus rog strix lc 360 lol

[fossil cedar]

If you want all white https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/4Tk3K3

[hushed vortex]

[potent portal]

Less money, better parts. Keeps the white theme. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/WLmpqp

It's good but not as good as the 3 I mentioned

[hushed vortex]

LINK

[little osprey]

[fossil cedar]

Ngl I'd have to go with my list over yours for 15$ more :p

[frank stirrup]

?

[little osprey]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-liquid-cooling-system-rog-strix-lc-360-rgb-white-edition/p/N82E16835101048?Description=lc 360&cm_re=lc_360-_-35-101-048-_-Product&quicklink=true its very expensive

[frank stirrup]

It ist as good as the 3 he mentioned

[potent portal]

That $15 is just your windows license too

[fossil cedar]

Yeah that's the best aio

[fossil cedar]

Ohh yeah lol

I mean mobo not white but yeah

[potent portal]

Yeah the Asus Prime I picked has the light accents to better match the theme

[hushed vortex]

i do not care about rgb

[frank stirrup]

Arctic makes a 420mm freezer ii

[fossil cedar]

4000d airflow/p400a

[little osprey]

my 12900k hits 85C while rendering with cl360 🤔

[fossil cedar]

Yes ik i was just confirming that that was right one

[frank stirrup]

No im just saying the 420mm better than 360mm

So that one isnt the best aio

Hehe

[fossil cedar]

Shame the steal legend doesn't have flashback because that would be a nice pick

[hushed vortex]

i found it for 94$

[fossil cedar]

The 240mm maybe?

Not the 360

[hushed vortex]

it the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 - Multi Compatible All-in-One CPU AIO Water Cooler, Compatible with Intel & AMD, Efficient PWM Controlled Pump, Fan Speed: 200-1700 RPM (Controlled via PWM) - Black

[little osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Liquid-Freezer-All-One/dp/B07WNJCVNW

[potent portal]

420 needs a bigger case

Moves it up to 5000d/p500a territory

[hushed vortex]

what case im going put a biger gpu in it when i can buy a 3090 at retail price

[frank stirrup]

It appears im not gonna finish my math assignment

[little osprey]

idk i just dont like its look 🤦‍♂️

[fossil cedar]

Lol mood

[frank stirrup]

I have 6 pages to go and its 2:40 am

All nighter

Time

[little osprey]

any white aio good than LC360 ? 🤔

[potent portal]

I'd go p500a digital

[fossil cedar]

Lian li

Galahad

[fossil cedar]

Yikes

[little osprey]

how can i compare aios lol

is there any way to check which one is better lol

[potent portal]

Youtube reviews often compare, GN is good about testing too

[little osprey]

hmm

actually not planning get new aio soon couse luckily my LC360 already had lga1700 mounting kit but it hits 85C when rendering which is not cool

[hushed vortex]

i like this one but https://www.newegg.com/p/2AM-000Z-00082?Item=9SIA0ZXGPK3559&cm_sp=SH-_--_-8-_--_-9SIA0ZXGPK3559-_-lian+li+q58-_-lian+li+q58-_-1 it too small i like big tall case tou fit lots of ssd

[potent portal]

Yeah that's a mini ITX case, you'd need to change just about every part on your list to fit in that

[hushed vortex]

i know

case the last thing i need to find

how about this one https://www.amazon.com/Lian-Li-LAN2MRW-Tempered-LANCOOL/dp/B08DXQMFRG/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=Lian%2Bli&qid=1636837955&s=electronics&sr=1-7&th=1

[potent portal]

Those would fit a 360 but not a 420

[hushed vortex]

😦

[little osprey]

85C is safe for 12900k right ?

[potent portal]

Safe? Yes. What's the hot spot though? It's probably throttling a little

[hushed vortex]

i never got that high with my 9700k

high i saw waas 58c

[potent portal]

That's comparing apples to oranges, 9700k uses WAY less power

[little osprey]

i had 10700k with 360mm aio nad it was keeping cool but upgraded to 12900k and it heating and consuming power as hell

hwinfo shows max 85 while rendering it settling around 80-85c

[hushed vortex]

so what case do i need to order for a 420

[potent portal]

I told you, p500a digital is probably the best option, or the 5000d airflow

[vague oracle]

But like why a 420?

[hushed vortex]

this https://www.newegg.com/white-corsair-4000d-airflow-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811139157?Item=N82E16811139157&cm_sp=SH-_--_-8-_--_-11-139-157-_-5000d-_-5000d-_-1

[hushed vortex]

94$

[little osprey]

idling 55-60C while easy works but getting up to 80 while rendering

[hushed vortex]

it open box

[potent portal]

4000d only fits 360

[hushed vortex]

with a warranty

[earnest olive]

get a phanteks enthoo 719 so you can fit 480 rad

480 and 2 360s

[little osprey]

thats crazy lol

[earnest olive]

and a rear 140 because why not

[hushed vortex]

no im good with just one

[sharp tangle]

barely fits a 360, I just crammed a Arctic 360 in a 4000d she's tight in there

[potent portal]

Isn't the Enthoo pro 2 the upgraded model?

[hushed vortex]

and

[fossil cedar]

You're gonna spend more on a larger case (bout 60$) than getting a smaller case and spending the extra 25$ for a 360mm btw

[hushed vortex]

witch one is it

[fossil cedar]

They were joking you shouldn't get that case

P500a would be a better option

[earnest olive]

oh wow you can fit another 480 rad in this lmao

2 480 rads, 2 360 rads, and 1 140 rad

[hushed vortex]

will the 420 fit in it

[earnest olive]

might be enough to get an 11900K below 100c running prime95 avx512

[hushed vortex]

it a real good price if it will

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[hushed vortex]

ok good

[fossil cedar]

But p400a/4000d airflow and the 360mm way cheaper lol

[hushed vortex]

is it 90$

[potent portal]

I'm considering a p500a myself for my custom loop build. I'd go O11 but that's too mainstream.

[hushed vortex]

42090$

[fossil cedar]

@hushed vortex https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZdX8Pn vs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2g9YVc

Yes but the larger case costs more

~35$ more

For 420mm

[fossil cedar]

P500a better thermals anyway

[potent portal]

Yeah and I like the look. I'd probably put dual 360s so I can still use the 6x p12 fans I bought.

Not the digital version for me either, I don't have the 3 pin argb header and I already have plenty of good fans.

It's like $116 for the non-digital

[hushed vortex]

35$ is not that bad

plus when go upgrade i have better upgrade path

[frank stirrup]

I finished my assignment

I sleep now

[hushed vortex]

good night

[fossil cedar]

Wdym? Not really they're both cases/aios you can put 3090 12900k in lol

[hushed vortex]

but the other one will not fit a 420

[fossil cedar]

Nvm do whatever you fancy just saying it's cheaper to go 360mm and smaller case

[hushed vortex]

i consider a 360 tho

[hushed vortex]

will this case work it 116$ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088SZTN3Z?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1

[fossil cedar]

Yeah, just comes with less fans but that's fine yeah

[hushed vortex]

ok

[little osprey]

which is better intel i5 10600k or ryzen 5 5600x

[potent portal]

Better for what?

Gaming?

[fossil cedar]

I wouldn't buy a 10600k in 2021, either go 10400 and b560 and save the money or 5600x and b550 if you can fit into budget leaving enough room for gpu in budget

[little osprey]

i5 10400?

[fossil cedar]

Yep

[little osprey]

o alr

thx

well i’m baller so u know

jp i wish

[fossil cedar]

Happy to help

[jaunty nacelle]

worth getting a card on r/hardwareswap?

no warranty so..

[fossil cedar]

As long as the price is decent, you get them to send a pic of the date their username and the gpu out of the box and use PayPal goods and services only you should be fine

[jaunty nacelle]

alr thanks

[potent portal]

Some brands have transferable warranties, even lifetime ones. You just need to ask for original receipt.

[jaunty nacelle]

evga doesnt transfer warranty right

[fossil cedar]

It does

[jaunty nacelle]

thanks again

[opal tapir]

Hello looking for suggestions on a X-box / Playstation -sized PC for living room to run basic Windows-10...

Thinking we would have small desktop PC in media center with wireless keyboard / touchpad, use TV with HDMI for monitor and a couple of USB-remote game controllers for old emulators like MAME, etc.

[viral ore]

so you've looked at mini dell optiplexes

anything that made you decide they weren't suitable?

[opal tapir]

Hello -- I guess they seemed perfect just a bit spendy for what we needed -- was wondering if there were more 'basic' options.

i.e. couldn't tell if the Optiplex I was looking at had a souped-up video card, for example, which we wouldn't need.

[viral ore]

what kind of TV is it?

[opal tapir]

Hmm how do I add a link to the Optiplex?...

[viral ore]

oh I dont think you have permission to send links here yet

[opal tapir]

Not a fancy TV -- basic 55" Samsung.

[viral ore]

you can DM it to me

[opal tapir]

Guess not -- the Optiplex 3080 seems perfect.

[viral ore]

so would you say its 1080p, or is it 4K?

[opal tapir]

But expensive?

Funny think it's 4K but we don't like 4K!...

[viral ore]

dells website has one for $680

[opal tapir]

Yep $680.

[viral ore]

so yeah its a bit much

thoughts on using sites like ebay?

you can score loads of systems like these off ebay quite easily, as most of them are retired from business environments after 3 years or so

[opal tapir]

I wasn't sure if $700 was a fair price.

Hmm was wondering about that.

[viral ore]

it would be an OK price

not great

lemme look around ebay

[opal tapir]

I will too -- I'm active there.

I guess my question is do all the major PC manufacturers make a 'small' PC? Is there a specific name like 'Mini PC'?

Thanks for helping, BTW!!

[visual notch]

I just did a build on PCPartPicker and it came to $669.95

So yeah....

[opal tapir]

Hi Thankful -- thanks.

[viral ore]

they usually do, but at that size nothing is standard

[opal tapir]

Yeah - so, yeah...

OK Sassy suggested looking on eBay, too.

[viral ore]

dell specifically uses the term micro and usff

[opal tapir]

For like a used small desktop from a workplace.

Yep I see lots of Dell Optiplex 'Micros

'Micro-PCs'

that would well.

Thanks, guys -- I'll come back here with more questions.

[viral ore]

Intel NUCs are pretty good imo

and cheap

[opal tapir]

Sassy -- quick question -- how do I know you're responding to me here?

re: Intel NUCs

(Sorry for the Discord advice, too...)

[viral ore]

youre the only one here im talking to, so generally I will be talking to you

I can reply to your messages if thats easier

[opal tapir]

No just curious. Just pulled trigger on eBay listing.

[viral ore]

like this

[viral ore]

nice, intel nuc or just an optiplex?

[opal tapir]

Oh interesting.

[viral ore]

it will ping you and highlight

[opal tapir]

Dell Optiplex 3040M Micro Mini Tiny PC G4400T 2.9Ghz 8GB RAM 500GB HDD Win10 Pro

$188

[viral ore]

that'll do, honestly

[opal tapir]

Should be just what we need.

Thank you!

[viral ore]

i would definetly suggest replacing the HDD with an SSD tho

[opal tapir]

Uh oh I knew you were going to say something like that!

; )

I get it re: SSD tho.

Is the chasis on those things easy to open? Easy to swap hard drive?

[viral ore]

yes, for running windows 10 an SSD is a must

[viral ore]

yep! the cover will pop off with a few thumb screws, and the drive should just be exposed

[opal tapir]

Hmm I've never changed a drive before -- batteries, fans, etc.

Will a SSD be plug and play?

[full atlas]

I built a pc with an i7 today😩

[viral ore]

https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-500gb/p/N82E16820250087
yep, this will be a simple drop in replacement

but then you will need to reinstall windows 10

[opal tapir]

Snap I see a few SSD listings for not much more!...

= (

Ah - thx for that link to 500GB SS drive.

[viral ore]

I would recommend the one i linked, a lot of the cheaper ones arent very reliable, and honestly arent even that much cheaper

[opal tapir]

OK -- just sent seller a note that I'm hoping to cancel. There an exact same Optiplex with 256GB solid state drive for same price. Don't really need more space than that.

Hey thanks for all of your help -- my 7th grader is asking for dinner!... Take care.

[minor garnet]

Hi just got new cpu. Don’t have any rubbing alcohol to remove thermal paste off old cpu any alternatives?

[full atlas]

Just use paper towels and no ipa?

[obsidian wigeon]

q-tip works too

[full atlas]

Or go to a store and spend like 1$ on some ipa maybe

[sly nacelle]

Here is where I can ask questions about building a PC ?

[worn wave]

Sure

[sly nacelle]

Really

[worn wave]

Yeah?

[sly nacelle]

Cool

This is my 1st PC

I tried to do a lot of research But it's confusing

The only hint they my friend gave me it was getting the graphics card 1st

other than that I don't know what else to Get

Check this out on @Newegg: ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 Overclocked 6G GDDR6 Dual-Fan EVO Edition VR Ready HDMI DisplayPort DVI Graphics Card (DUAL-RTX2060-O6G-EVO) https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-2060-dual-rtx2060-o6g-evo/p/N82E16814126349?Item=9SIAYBAGBB8910&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIAYBAGBB8910-_-11132021

So he told me to get this one

So what else can I get

Does the motherboard matters with the graphics card ?

[vague oracle]

First of all what’s the budget and what are you planning to use the PC for?

[sly nacelle]

I'm getting one thing at a time so my budget is not that big

Gaming
Editing
VR
3-D printing

my question is like

Does the graphics card Has to have a specific motherboard ?

[frank stirrup]

Ouch 660$ for a 2060

[frank stirrup]

No

Any mobo is fine

Btw if you make a parts list on https://www.pcpartpicker.com

[sly nacelle]

???

[frank stirrup]

And send the list we can help better

[frank stirrup]

That card is not worth that much

You can get a much much better card for less

Look at the pinned message to patos gpu buying guide in #graphics-cards

Look for a 3060 ti or a 3070

[sly nacelle]

T-T)/ Well oh well

Those ones are expensive

[frank stirrup]

Look at the gpu buying guide

All gpus are more expensive than they need to be

[wide sparrow]

Hmm

[frank stirrup]

Theres kinda a shortage going on rn

[sly nacelle]

🥲

Well

That graphics card is coming on the way so

[frank stirrup]

Return it

A 2060 is NOT worth 665 usd

[sly nacelle]

So what do you recommend

I cannot get the ones that are like bigger

[frank stirrup]

3060ti or 3070

[sly nacelle]

I could save up and buy later on to upgrade it

Those ones are expensive as hell

[frank stirrup]

Also please put all the parts you have selected into https://pcpartpicker.com

And send a link here so we can help better

[frank stirrup]

Are you not reading patos gpu buying guide

Please go do that

[jagged ember]

660 for 2060

my soul experiences pain

that's the cost of a damn 3060ti or something

[frank stirrup]

3070

[earnest olive]

technically if we're going by msrp it's closer to a 3080 than a 3070ti

but even on scalper market a 2060 should be $450 tops

[sly nacelle]

🥲 Those ones are out of stock or the price are too high

I already checked with a website that you show me

Can I not use that 1 For now

[rocky grove]

is an all white build generally more expensive?

[obsidian wigeon]

ya

[frank stirrup]

Read patos buying guide and follow it. You should have a much better gpu in a few weeks

Or just tell me ur budget and ill send over a prebuilt to buy

[sly nacelle]

The same price

Or less if it's possible

Parts has to be new I don't like buying use parts

[sly nacelle]

The graphics card is not good What's the problem with it

[rocky grove]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/px7JsX

can you guys see this? what do you guys think?

[earnest olive]

i think there is no ram in this system

[potent portal]

That's because they're all sold out in pcpp

[rocky grove]

oh yeah no wonder i couldnt see any dd4s i didnt want to pick a dd5, but what type of DDR4 ram should i choose then? what do you guys think about the rest?

[frank stirrup]

Wheres the cpu

And whats ur budget

[sly nacelle]

I don't know what To put

What CPU you recommend

Intel Core i9 9th Gen - Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

[earnest olive]

if you try to put an Intel processor in an AMD motherboard you are not going to have a good time

also, why do you have a $400 ssd, $550 case, $350 psu, and $450 mb paired with a midrange GPU?

if you have that much money just get a 3090 along with more sensible supporting components

[jagged ember]

everything in that list is super pricey

and not in a good way

[rocky grove]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/px7JsX

what about mine?

its giving me an error for the motherboard and case :/

[earnest olive]

lacking a cooler

lacking ram

overpriced case and psu

that monitor is a joke

don't know enough about other peripherals to comment

but they look overpriced too

overpriced ssd, get a 1tb p31

no point getting a 5000d unless you custom loop which really doesn't make sense for an i5

that's also a pretty suspicious price on the 12600K (I know it's cad but still)

why do you have 2 keyboards

[rocky grove]

I like that nzxt cpu cooler that shows the temp, but I can’t find it there so I left it blank and hoping for suggestions

[earnest olive]

and why are they like $550 total

[rocky grove]

Ram no DDR4

[earnest olive]

well yeah you picked a ddr5 board

it's not showing you ddr4 because of the compatibility filter

pick a ddr4 board if you intend to use ddr4, they usually say something like D4 at the end

[rocky grove]

Oh I can’t decide between those two keyboards for FPS CSGO purposes and also office typing too

[earnest olive]

nzxt aios are kinda bad

but if you really really like that aesthetic and are willing to pay for it sure

[rocky grove]

Hmm don’t understand this

[earnest olive]

you chose a very large and expensive case that is designed for custom water cooling

you can downsize the case because you are not doing custom water cooling

$900 is revolting for a 1440p270 monitor

what are you going to run at 1440p270?

[rocky grove]

Mainly CSGO and dota 2 gaming

[earnest olive]

:|

[rocky grove]

How’s the Lian Li O11 case? I currently have water cooled for my PC, is water cooling not good anymore?

[earnest olive]

there's a difference between aio water cooling and custom water cooling

o11 is fine if you like the aesthetic

pricey

large as well

but at least it's got a unique look that the 5000d doesn't really offer

the components you intend to run with would be perfectly happy in a $100 case

so you can make an argument for the o11 but for the 5000d well the 4000d looks the same just smaller lol

[rocky grove]

What case do you recommend then?

[rocky grove]

Half the cost, I guess I can utilize the money on better GPU

What about PSU? I have a seasonic and told it was good because it’s very quiet

[earnest olive]

p400a, 4000d airflow, td500 mesh, lancool ii, all great options depending on the current price

feel free to buy a case you personally like, I just don't think the 5000d is a good option there bc it's just a larger 4000d

power supply noise is not really a factor

if you can hear your power supply over your cpu/gpu coolers something is wrong

[sly nacelle]

I'm buying one at a time not all of that at once

[earnest olive]

I've done >40 builds in every budget range and never once heard a power supply

[earnest olive]

how does that change anything

you cannot put an LGA1151 CPU in an AM4 motherboard

doesn't matter when you bought it

it physically will not fit

[plain grove]

Mushroom

[earnest olive]

yes?

[plain grove]

When I type this serial number it fails to detect it

[earnest olive]

think that's something you should be asking MSI about

not sure what I can do about it

[plain grove]

Hmm

[rocky grove]

Hm so mushroom, if my budget is between like 2-3 maybe 4K max what would you recommend based on my taste of what you saw on my list?

Is there such thing for good airflow and super quiet for case?

[rocky grove]

I like either the 4000D or Lancool both around similar price $120 cdn

[earnest olive]

depends on what you think is super quiet

that's very subjective

[rocky grove]

Silent don’t want to hear a single thing LOL

[earnest olive]

gotcha, spend $1k on custom water

[rocky grove]

But obviously that’s not reasonable

[earnest olive]

and then shove it in a different room

[rocky grove]

😂😂😂

[earnest olive]

you're going to need to get rid of that monitor

and those peripherals all look overpriced

[rocky grove]

Awww really… I already have a 144hz though I wanted something better

The peripherals can wait until there is a sale no worries

[earnest olive]

you don't have the budget for a $900 monitor and a 3080

and even if you did

there would be no point

I'm watching my 3080 struggle to maintain over 100 fps in some titles at 1440p

in valhalla it'll average 80

at high settings, not ultra

if you want to play AAA games at 1440p and get high fps in csgo

just get one 1440p144 monitor and one 1080p240 monitor

will still be cheaper combined than that monstrosity

or if your 144hz monitor is already 1440p then there's no reason to upgrade it

[vague oracle]

Oh boy what did I stumble in on

[earnest olive]

a $900 monitor

[vague oracle]

US?

[earnest olive]

CAD

but CAD is only like 1.25:1 now

[vague oracle]

Slightly better but still bad

[rocky grove]

You came to orange spanking me giving me a lesson

[earnest olive]

hey

not so loud, my gf is in this server

[rocky grove]

[vague oracle]

Hold up, SIPS HAS A GF?!
