£1000
Used for blender
Wifi or no?
Nice to have but not strictly required
Okay it's 5£ more so
If it fits then yes
How much storage?
At least a terabyte total
Okay
if you have time, take look at this build lol https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/6NKWVc
for halo infinite and general productivity
budget is currently unknown yet but ik they want to save money

No clue about the PSU but it looks good
@fossil cedar could you help find one with more ram?
i'd go a little easier on the pings lol
Ok
Looking at the one he sent, you can have 32Gb for about 70 more
Nvm then
ty
16gb not enough?
why not 11400 tho?
I’m doing blender fluid sims
Universe how much ram do you have now?
100$ cheaper
In my fx system, 6gb
How much of it are you using up when running blender?
yk what that's completely fair
16gb is so much more, it's crucial ram anyway so super easy to match down the road if you need 32gb
While running blender I hit 14gb ram usage a few times, when I had 14gb installed
Personally I was fine with 16gb of ram until I started doing CAD professionally
Cad does not involve simulating water at high resolution XD
If you were using up all 14gb then yeah go for 32
And I wonder what rendering water at high res falls under
Idk how to get a system with: Core i5 (10/11th gen) an rtx 3060 and 32gb ram for under £1k
I got close
So save up
Like within £20
I can guarantee you you’ll be happier if you save up a tiny bit to get the 32Gb than you making comprises in other places
32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 10400f 3060 good case no proprietary, actually removing wifi -5£

That's what usb to dvd drive for smh
Lol
I have in the past made custom optical drive bay things
This case
Wait
@fossil cedar
Mhm
Fck
Bro spend the extra 16£ lol
Mines cheaper 😜
better case ram and mobo too
Not like the ram matters cuz it will be locked to 2666mhz anyway but yano, can reuse/sell for bit more
Ye
Hi there
Hello
Got a GP66 Leopard 11UG-018 from newegg and I would like to add some ram and SSD
Ok ask gumball
Un it’s not 3:30 am
But cya
As all of the clocks are offset by hour increments, all of the minutes of clocks are synced up, only hours are changed
Any idea?
it seems to use standard 2280 M.2 ssds and sodimm ddr4 memory
do you know what the laptop has in it right now?
as far as ram and ssds go
its for 2 sodimm slots and 2 ssd slots
how much ram do you want the laptop to have?
32gb
and how much storage?
2to ssd if possible
how much ssd is in the laptop now?
i assume its got a 1TB ssd right now?
would you like to add an additional 2TB ssd for 3TB of total ssd, or just add an additional 1TB ssd?
it will work with whatever ssd you want to put in there
most 2280 M.2 ssds go up to 2TB
a 2TB ssd costs a ton though
so if you only need an additional TB, it will be much cheaper that way
So 1tb 2280 M.2 ssds will be fine
Got it
Nice8
Thanks a lots for your recommendations
np
I was a little bit....lost
Hey guys, my buddy needs a gaming laptop for $1300, any recommendations?
hi im building a new pc and wanted to know if the Noctua NH-D15 is compatible with a new intel chip like the i9-12600k? @ me if you can tell me.
I don't think noctua has added hardware support for LGA1700 yet for the D15
sorry, I had to give an online presentation at 5:15 lmao
but it shouldnt
if you are in US, i know you can take back panel off of laptop and not lose warranty
if there are warranty void if removed stickers, they are scare tactics and have no meaning
have not looked into warranty related things in other countries tho
Designed in Austria, Noctua's premium cooling components are renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and thoroughgoing quality.
do u know if it will work with that motherboard because all i can find is that you will need an adapter for the cooler to work
Noctua has the mounting bracket free on requesting it when you have proof of purchase, but it doesn't come with the cooler yet
@limpid hull https://noctua.at/en/noctua-announces-free-of-charge-mounting-upgrades-and-updated-cpu-coolers-for-lga1700
Designed in Austria, Noctua's premium cooling components are renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and thoroughgoing quality.
Well that's the topic I was bringing up, the new z6xx boards will have the new lga1700 socket for Intel 12th gen, I said I didn't think noctua had mounting hardware for it yet, but it appears they do, you just have to request it separately after purchasing the cooler.
okay thank you
So you can go ahead and buy the cooler, and when you have a purchase receipt, contact noctua customer support and tell them you need mounting hardware for lga1700 for the NH-D15
Hey idk what I’m looking for in PCs I’m new to the pc stuff so idk of any one can link me to one but I want something under 1000 mainly under 800 but 1000 is fine but a good gaming pc to play and good FPS anyone know what to look for or have one
That's gonna be really tuff considering the gpu prices right now.
Ok I’m also looking into building my own people said it’s cheaper I just don’t know how and what to look for and such
Aww pato is not online.
Like i said, gpu prices are through the roof right now, build is typically cheaper, but not if you want a gpu.
I would go with the one we sent it general since it has a 2060 for 1k but you would have to find one used.
Also The cpu is prices are up as well
The first thing before anything else is to try to get a gpu for a not horrendous price. The buying guide pinned in #graphics-cards might help.
Um, what in the heck is this? AMD Instinct MI250x?
graphics processing daughterboard
owo
depends
they both good chips
just depends on how much you wanna pay
well
3600 for 230 is a bad deal
If you're budget is $1000 I would not get the 5800x
That chip is $350 alone
Oh ok
A third of your budget gone and you'll be missing many other components
focus on this
because you cant buy gpus at the moment
so make sure you know how and where you are getting your gpu from
then we can talk about the rest
another option is to just buy a prebuilt system
really just depends on what you want your system for specifically
Tomorrow at 10 am eastern time there may be a gpu drop on bestbuy.com, check there and see if you can snag a 3060 ti before the bots buy them all up
You gotta be ready tho and you gotta be fast.
Because all of them will sell out in a matter of minutes
If even that long.
Honestly i wouldn't, it'll run too hot, I'd grab an arctic liquid freezer ii 360/420 or lian li Galahad 360/ek rgb 360
I thought d15 was a good cooler?
Like really good
It's good but ofc aios are gonna beat
Hmmmm, alright
@sharp tundra have tou seen how hot the 12900k is lol
It's just I had a discussion about this several months ago with some other techies and they all said air cooling would beat AIO
I'm not in disagreement, I'm just saying that's what they told me
@sharp tundra this is the 12900k stock
Jeez is that idle?
They're.... Wring
No ofc not, under load
Oh okay, had me concerned a bit
All idle temps to is measure room temp lol
Blender all core workload as mentioned in graph
70°C isn't THAT bad tho is it?
Tech power up(tpu) oc'd to 5ghz it ran at 102c on a liquid freezer ii 360
No but that's with a liquid freezer ii 360, literally the best aio
What the actuall....
Kinda messed it up
Not for the price
Ok should I go for a 5
The price tho 
you should tell us where you are getting a GPU first
secure gpu
then we will help
or we can find a prebuilt
or you can get a cpu with a decent iGPU
Amazon
Model matters and rest of build, I'd go for an i5 10400(f) atm
ohh ho ho ho no you arent lol
I have no clue what that is
its something you cant buy
😐
and also something you need
Is that where I’m going wrong
yes
What a brain
@vocal lava what's your budget?
Amazon is like the number 1 seller for gpus right now, everyone and their grandparents are buying from Amazon, you ain't getting a gpu from amazon
800-1000
go to goodwill
I want to get a head start on stuff
get 20 dollar monitor
Honestly man, just buy a series x or ps5
You can?!?!
@vocal lava I'd get this https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali491-challenger/p/N82E16883360086R?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=0
Well I also didn’t see website want to order from this website because idk if it is safe I never seen it will the pc end up at my house if I order it
you didnt want to order from newegg?
Yea
You joined newegg to tell us that newegg site isn't safe?
dw about it
Oh
amazon sus asf
True
Yeah man, this discord is literally run by newegg
newegg is geared towards computer hardware tho
so they are a very good online retailer for all things tech
So it’s like a Amazon for computers but much much better
And a few other bits n bobs like car stuff and flowers lol
I have to find a good but cheap ish monitor
yeah, they do sell a handful of random things too lol
And vacuum cleaners
you can find 1080p monitors at places like goodwill and salvation army
craigslist
facebook marketplace
those are my top suggestions
something like... 20-60 dollars
Craigslist? 
craigslist pog
Okay.......
Violas too
just avoid obvious scams and talk to people for a bit before wasting time going to pick something up
I think I'm gonna by a Dyson fan to put right in front of my pc for Max airflow.
It's $700
Then my build will truly be complete.
I gave him the invite link to here
Is a CV 550 enough to drive both an I5 10400f and an RTX 3060
No
The cheapest 600w unit in a or b tier on this list https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
Go on
Oh you're a troll
pc wasnt near the fire but was in the house for the time of the fire
Hmmm
Oh thought you were saying the pc caused the fire
I see
so cmos reset didnt work, unplugging gpu didnt work, unplugging a ram stick didnt work
There is a few more
Ehh well I've never had to treat a pc with fire damage but make sure all the connecters are plugged in properly
Like all the power connecters
Hmmm maybe just don’t trust it for a bit
wires look okay
Show the full list lol, and where's the priced for them
Full list
maybe solder melted somewhere?
Uhhh this is build chat? I’m confused
i didnt know where to go im sorry
Whats the price diff between txm 550w and 650w?
like i said i didnt know where to ask
Please be nice to others
Here is perfectly fine they're being a jerk for some reason
thanks
Not an excuse
I’m just here looking for a power supply
i know yall are really knowledgeable on pcs but i think ill go elsewhere
@fossil cedar hey, you know of a good gaming laptop for $1300? Got a buddy who's making the switch from console.
I can't think of anything else unfortunately, sorry about the other guy, he doesn't represent the rest of us at all
Like what’s wrong with one joke.
No jokes are funny
idk maybe the fact he has no house to live in? but idk
Hey man that's not right, my house just burned down and I have someone trying to help me shut up dog, chill out, you need to step down rq
Alr I’ll cya later
Cya pus
Yeah man, making jokes about someones house that just burnt down is not really a laughing matter. Especially if you don't know the person.
Just a quick question, why did you send my a friend request on discord?
Thanks, I think I'll show him the msi one cause it has a bit more storage.
Because I forgot that I was in this discord so i was gonna put you in your place
well thanks for the help Pato
What happened is not a joking matter, that's what people like you don't realize
But yes pato thank you for the help
he'll ask if he needs something else tho
what i need is lower gpu prices tho but thats for another day.
Dw I'd say he'll get a stern warning I've told the mods so if they choose not to ban him he will be heavily ignored my me and hopefully a few others
Yo thanks man means a lot
That day won't be around for a LONG time
Sorry i couldn't help more
Np
sadly @sharp tundra
Your good, I think my components are fried tbh
1070 ti is uhhh yeah
@mild axle also I think you owe them an apology
Hi
I don't want an apology from that child
Mindset of a 15 year old making jokes like the one he made
why is this a bad PC? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Systems/CORSAIR-VENGEANCE-Series-Gaming-PC/p/CS-9050011-NA
Step up your game with a CORSAIR VENGEANCE a7200 Series Gaming PC, built with a full range of award-winning CORSAIR components, and powered by an AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series CPU and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Series graphics.
Cause you can build that exact thing for cheaper
Kinda
Price is disgusting
Are there any prebuilts similar to this one on Newegg? I checked all around the site and couldn't find any cheaper
I'll admit, corsair is expensive, but that just means it's for the prestigious few.
Like me 😎
So please can someone help me get advice for my psu?
No
Think you kinda lost help from us mate, come back later and try again?
nah
I thought he was trolling to begin with, so did pato
?
But did pato make a joke about it?
Didn't think so
@mild axle 4 minutes later and wow you edited your post, such a joke
You'd be saving for like 5 months just to get something usable
Wait til you have ~700$
But on the bright side, gpu stock and prices MIGHT be fixed by then
For gaming at least
Highly doubt it tho
For office work etc you can do really cheap pcs
Mid-'23 at the earliest
🙄
So actually 2027 is what you mean?
When the rtx 7090 will be out
I mean at least your being straight up but 5 months is crazy
Nah, there's several new production plants coming online late '22-'23
Well assuming you're starting from 0 lol yeah
How confident are you that that will fix the situation tho?
Don't we still have a silicon shortage issue?
It won't be immediate but at least the plants won't have to run at 120% capacity any more
You can do 3.5/4 months
Can't make semiconductors without it
That's an easier fix than the finished chips. There's plenty of ways to make silicon.
lots of sand 👀
Bye bye beaches
They can suck up the whole beach if they need to, we need GPUs 
refining it is just a bit of a pain
Mr beast is swinging his fist in the air right now for that comment
Call me ignorant but who is he? I've heard the name but nothing besides that
social media guy who got famous by swinging around a lot of money
that he gives to his fanbase
Huh. Weird
Is his whole thing spend money to make money, or is it just handouts for no real reason?
Pretty much, but he's a good guy, very selfless
the only video of his I saw was
he put 4 guys in some kind of tent
and last one to leave won $10k
so they were just trying to stay there for as long as their sanity would hold lol
He pretty much just takes his youtube Anderson money and puts it right back into his videos, he gives away houses, cars, electronics, money etc.
Well knowing how much ad revenue some of those influencers can make I'm sure he got more than that from the single video
Oh yeah, and he spends a f*ck ton on his videos too, I think he spent over $2 million on one video at some point
Recently he started a charity called #teamseas that's to raise $30million to remove 30millions lbs of trash from the ocean.
I know this is out of stock atm, but when it comes back is it worth getting? https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali549/p/N82E16883360169
Now teamseas I've seen, that's gotten a lot of coverage. I didn't know he started it, though.
I'm not entirely sure if he officially started it, but I think he was the main guy to get the name out there
Getting a big influencer to spread the word and getting other influencers involved is genius, whoever started it.
whoever started the idea of exams is an idiot
Same concept but to plant trees for every dollar donated
Blame ancient Rome then
this year team seas
in what way is this relevant to PC building 
yes
hm
idk
😳
how is mr beast relevant 😉
jk ily pls dont kill me
Phew, had me sweating there
dallas your laptop still gaming fine without vrm repaste?
dallas?
Mr Beast gives away PCs right? That's how he's relevant
😳
Exactly
yoooo my man dallas the city in texas woah
"Corsair is bad though"
Get a box fan and paint in corsair colors
It'll last longer too
so I gotta settle for what I can get smh

when 500mm argb fan compatible with PC argb header
wonder if anyone will actually use it as their side panel at that point
wonder how much power is needed to drive a 500mm fan motor
can a normal 1A fan header do it

They covered that at GN
It needed like 5A or something
You'd need a whole 3 sata power slots
Just receive a brand new mobo/psu/cpu/ram and it does not boot. am I in the right channel to get your input on that ?
Well you're missing a case, storage drive, and gpu, so yeah, it's not gonna boot
Do you guys think this PC has good specs and price? https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali575/p/N82E16883360210
lol !
The case isn't absolutely necessary but it does help a lot
Fr tho, do you have a storage drive and gpu?
nor the GPU or drive...
Definitely debatable
:p
So it's not worth?
True a gpu isn't absolutely necessary but you better have igpu
And a drive, yeah
You need that
Ryzen 7 5700G
MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX II
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model
Got red led on "EZ Debug" CPU led
try another PSU, same
properly seated, no bent pin on CPU
properly seated ram
It didn't POST... who care about drive !
A B450 will need a bios update before it works with 5000 series
🤦♂️
That's something usefull...
You'll need an older CPU to update the bios with since that board doesn't have flashback
It's not all bad news, you can get a cheap Athlon like $20
and those EZ diag led, are they reliable. If it is the CPU led, could it be bad ram ?
They're usually pretty good indicators, but not perfect
and that "G-SKILL Ripsaws" should be compatible for that MB/CPU ?
G.skill are some of the most compatible kits in general
thanks, i'll try to find older amd cpu to flash that mobo...
I thought I had ordered wrong ram
Nope, should be fine with that memory. Faster would be better but it'll do.
You should also consider a boot drive
Never heard of pxe ?
Version
7C02vH4
Release Date
2021-02-09

Hey, tbf, when you first came here for help, you said it didn't boot, you didn't say anything about no post.
See
Reason: Bad word usage
Oop
And you literally didn't say anything about pxe until literally just now so please don't be an A**hat about it.
Anyone have a pcpartpicker with a 3070?
What budget? And you'll want to get the gpu before anything else
around 2k
a drive what holds your pcs apps software and what helps your pc boot up.
Thanks for your help Fal'Cie. I have open a case with MSI so they can confirm what bios version was burned at factory.
Im guessing you weren't keen on the pc you sent me earlier?
Ask fal if it's a good deal
Cause that's about the only way you'll get a 3070
The preinstalled bios version is usually printed on the box
Ok
Usually something like "AMD Ryzen 3000 ready" or others depending on which mobo you get, mine said "AMD Ryzen 5000 ready" on it
I don't know what it says for intel, lol, probably "Intel 11th gen ready" or something of the sort
For Intel there's no such things sadly
i got it too lol
but stock cooler
and 3600x/1660s
ah
well it's mining so idc
not too loud
but i think i need to fix my fan curve for my cooler i think
yep
tune it and you get like 120
Should be good for upgrading to a 3060 ti also, maybe a 3070 if you don't overclock much
Artesian not the best SI
Why
and why is it 850w sfx PSU in an o11
Idk
I’m just trying to make a good build for me
Explain I’m confused
Is it good ?
Will it work fast
they tried to do some funky things that might've been trying to scam Demonmit
but well
that list is very unspecific
What SSD? "1tb NVMe SSD" can mean a lot of SSDs
"850 Gold SFX" can also be many different PSUs
Sure image looks like a specific product but they just aren't specifying
I was just wondering is there anything I need to install to add a gpu to a computer that uses an apu is it like plug and play
As long as the PSU will support the GPU, and you have a mobo with a PCIe slot and enough space in the case
Bigger case
Sure it looks like a V850 but it makes no promises on what it actually is, it could be any SFX 850w psu for all we can know
@stoic island would I need to install drivers and software
that comes after you physically install it, but yea, just get drivers and you're done software wise
@stoic island oh ok thank you
I'm just going to offer xotic as another SI option
https://xoticpc.com/
but well
Ok
I don't like how they were basically trying to scam demonmit out of 3000$
I can't even tell what CPU is in it lol
and I'm just going to make the assumption its just overpriced as heck
Well I tried nzxt but their sold out of pcs
it's just, practices we would avoid while building a PC, like splurging for a 500$ board when a 200$ board does just fine
or the ram, corsair is just bad for the price
nzxt is even worse for aios
liquid freezer ii is great
or ek aio
they both have rgb versions
👍
Oh really?
so it's fine
It works fine for me though
just gonna link what would be the equivalent config on xotic because yea
https://xoticpc.com/collections/gx77-savage/products/gx77-savage-z490#product_info_customize_block?conf=518370
GX77 Savage elevates itself above all other desktops as the dominant king of the hill. Its elegant design isn’t only about looks but about functionality. Its large tempered glass panel displays your components for not only one but possible two systems within its frame. Its RGB lit exterior and roomy interior capable of
it works fine
I don’t really need 750 but I had access to it so I got it
^
How about evga 650bq
that's tier c too
tier list in question
https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
they list their sources and such if you're curious about reasoning
I’m trying to make a pc build for my friend
I probably also should've stated that I am in no way affiliated with xotic, I haven't used them, but I know a good amount of people that did
with a budget of under $800
can probably do better than that, maybe 1050 ti 10400f
Hey guys whats alternative to Mushkin Pilot-E 1TB SSD and Phanteks Revolts Pro 850W?
this with 5600g
and another
i think this one sure is better value
with all new parts
this other one has 10400f and 1050ti
But 1050ti has better perf than the igpu in 5700G
Wait I meant 5600G
And it's still faster than the igpu in 5700G regardless
10400F has similar perf cpu wise too
Compared to 5600G
Cause 5600G loses the cache in 5600X to make space for igpu
way better
APUs are great sure but they're not any faster since what
3 years?
igpu perf wise ofc
no one is saying it isnt good
battery life wont be the best
Why
Cant i jus leave it plugged in
@obsidian wigeon I should probably say that he will be doing mostly online work and light gaming I will probably give him a 1650,1660, 5600xt,980/970 later on if i can find one
not great for the battery
so no
unless you wanna take it out entirely so it runs straight off ac
the stuff i gave ya should do fine
ok
but yeah going used with gpu will do good
or unless there's a bios thing that allows it to stay under 80% charge or something
@obsidian wigeon thx
Could prolly save a few bucks on your list by going h570
i dunno
But that b560 is p good value ig
h570 is usually more expensive
It's been around 70 recently usd
Sad
I have an HP envy i5 and wanted to upgrade to i9 would that affect it in any way or do I need to upgrade everything else?
Which model exactly?
HP 15.3 envy convertible x360
Manuals or user guides for your HP ENVY 15-u000 x360 Convertible PC
yes, memory 12gb, 1tb HDD storage, i5 7200U, 2.5 ghz, 3 mb cache, 2 cores,
You'll have to replace the motherboard and power adapter. The CPU is soldered in, and the higher tier processor needs more power.
ouch

It also looks like your max option is i7 8550U with a GeForce MX150
This is probably your model, it has part numbers to search http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05527167.pdf
will adding case fans reduce cpu temps or is that just the cpu cooler?
It depends. What case, what fans, what cpu, what cooler, what ambient temp...
In general adding fans is considered helpful but it doesn't always make a difference
11700kf, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-11700kf-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-2tb-hdd-512gb-ssd/6455824.p?skuId=6455824 is the case/pc, i'm wanting to add 2 120mm noctua case fans, i'm using a vetroo v5
That doesn't look like it has a whole lot of airflow options, chances are a better case is a good investment
the vetroo v5 is performing nice, but it's still a bit loud (i probably just have to adjust fan curve) but temps are reaching 80+ still sometimes on demanding games, while my gpu stays 50-60
seems super hard, i just installed a cpu cooler for the first time today and i was sweating thinking i was gonna brick my pc lol
A good way to test if the case is your issue is to pop open the front panel and see how much lower your temps are
But a V5 will struggle a bit with a 11700k
It's considered "budget" tier, while something like the scythe fuma 2 would be more recommended
the case is definitely the issue. all the reviews on the pc are all saying it sounds like a jet engine without a cooler swap and case swap
i'll note that
is it hard taking out everything from the case and moving it to another?
It's like building a new PC basically
Except you don't need to remove the CPU cooler
thank god
that part was a pain
mostly because it was my first time and i barely knew what i was doing
They really can be a pain, even for more experienced hands
should i try building a pc on pcbuildingsimulator until i'm comfortable?
i heard that works wonders
Sure, not a bad idea
Yes
Probably 4000d or p400a digital
i'll do a 4000d
i could get it for a discount because of my bestbuy points anyways
thanks
Sweet, no problem
will a case swap have a big change on the cpu temps?
No doubt
Idle doesn't really matter, that's more your fan curves
i was idling at 70ish with the old cooler lol
ah
should i adjust mine for now until i get a case?
Probably wait, it's fine for now as is
4000d has to be airflow version btw
but yeah everything in that prebuilt can be easily moved to a diff case
oh yeah that was the version i was gonna buy
good
the painful part looks like putting the motherboard inside the new case and organizing the cables
Placing the board is easy, especially with mATX. The cables won't be fun.
Nah, it just takes patience for cable management. Not nearly as frustrating.
anyone build a z690?
@frank stirrup
Ahh yep different person
I haven't but I've looked into the boards a lot, what's up?
guys i was installing the latest nvidia driver and should i accept the licensce agreement
pls tell
yes. lol
If you dont accept it you cant install drivers
So the question here should be should I or should I not install nvidia drivers

@urban trellis can you help my boy @twilit sigil build a pc
Pretty sure he already got advice
Lol
Yeah u have
No I havent
I’ve been asking around and only started asking around the other day lad
And people gave you advise
Yes they have and I’m seeking further advice
My point is u got advise
I mean if all u ask for is advise u arent gonna get any
Hm
You need to tell us what u want advice on
!ask
I was looking at the Thermalright PA120 which was reccomended to me but it doesn't have RGB in black on amazon. Is their any other coolers for about the same price with similar performance and RGB? If not could I just add some 120mm RGB fans if I wanted?
You've been dming me and talking in here for like 3 days 😭
There's frost spirit 140, not as good as peerless assasin on intel, but yes you could
DEEPCOOL AS500 Plus
fans arent RGB, but the cooler has some
Doesn't fit in some cases*
the deepcool?
oh, good to know, thanks
Is it this one? Doesn't have ARGB just regular RGB and doesn't look as nice as the PA120 imo.
Yep, you only have argb pins on mobo free?
I have RGB but you can't have cool effects like argb right?
Just different pins that's all
Oh I thought that RGB was just a solid color.
RGB is a color you can change
LED is the single solid color
aRGB is just RGB but you can address more of the lights individually
And pins different
aRGB is 5v, RGB is 12v
Well I know its changeable but like could I have a rainbow effect for example on regular rgb or is that only argb?
Or like the spin effect stuff
Usually no, but why even need that
It looks nice lol
I think I like the black on the PA120 better than the Frost spirit 140 better anyways.
Because that one is like a silver color
then do that
Ok
Because I don't want to have too much worse cooling just to have rgb.
Probably not worth it
Thanks for the help
You're welcome

what do you guys think, is there an alternative for the Mushkin Pilot SSD and Phanteks Revolt PSU?
depends
If you want a cheaper drive just for boot drive and don't need it for much else, mp33 will do fine, and revolt x is just having a really nice sale right now
gaming
Absolute best with no regards to budget or anything, right now, is 12900k
Oh the thing is, i might not be able to find the Mp33 in Canada

oops thought you were referring to the Pilot E
Well if i can spend a little extra what would be something better for the SSD? Samsung Evo 970 pro?
nah, don't need much more, like sn750 maybe as a sidegrade
I'd probs go mp600 core over 970
yeah!!! cuz i cant find Mushkin Pilot-E at Canada computers and i didn't want to do shipping and get it quicker
$2059 cdn for a 3080 Ti. is that a reasonable deal?
Imo bit high
is this price better than scalper price?
Don't know the cad scalper price but they can go for that retail in the us, but it's too much money imo
3080 ti are normally 1k
3080 ti msrp is 1200 usd let alone cad lmao
Seen most on Newegg for about
$1500 to $1800 when its buying from Newegg themselves. Depending on the card your looking at. For its like I am paying $1800 for a 12 gig might as well wait pay the $2400 for the 3090.
Not if you're gaming
3080 ti can beat 3090 in gaming. I know from experience.
Your poor 300w 3090 😭
It was 350W with 370W max tho
I flashed kingpin bios on it and got more performance, but it still can't touch my 3080ti FE
I don't get it how a 12gig card is going to be better then the 24 one or even a 16 rx. But then again seen others having issues with their cards that my 2080 didn't
Because in gaming you won't get anywhere near 24GB, even 12GB is ultra rare
It's not the capacity that matters, but the bandwidth. The extra memory modules also draw power away from the core.
Ohh but still lol
12gb maybe like 8k lol
Or 4k ultra cp277
So the 3090 and 3080ti are better then the rx6900 because their running with 320 verse the 256 even though the rx is usually running at faster clock speeds?
Nope, the 6900xt is overall the best gpu for pure raster(fps non ray tracing)
Not by a huge amount tho
They trade blows at the high end really, Nvidia wins at 4k and raytracing but AMD wins at 1080p, 1440p is a battleground
Running my rtx 2080 on max settings 4K had no issues running cyberpunk, avengers, or lost ark. Granted only running it on 4K 120hz 85" TV
"Only 4k 120Hz" lol
3080 are $1k
Only thing is it ran really hot, got a crap looking cooler and brought teps down to 40c from 85+. Want to upgrade figure be cooler run better. Finding it hard not to get the radeon sapphire toxic, as its available. But figure would want a amd processor over my Intel to go with it. Plus the gigabyte 3090 waterforce card I want is usually only $600 more then the toxic but also like the toxic with a 360 radiator over the 240
The GPU doesn't really care if you have an Intel or AMD cpu
Rage mode turned out to be just a gimmick
Ahh ok that's why I thought to get the amd to go with the toxic,
All rage mode really did was an auto overclock and higher power limit, nothing you can't do in afterburner
Though right now after getting all the extra rgb parts I think i need to find new rgb ram. I have and love my trident Z royals but everything else is like light pastel colors which makes them stick out, looked better with them with less rgb parts. Currently have 32gb 3200 cl14 was going to expand above 32gb just don't know speed better then cl or what ram to get to replace them to go with all the other rgb
It's a combination of cas latency (and other primary timings) and clock speed that matters
The main reason people get 3200 14-14-14 memory is it's almost 100% b-die, which overclocks REALLY well
If you're not going to overclock it then 3600 16-18-18 will be better on AMD and about equal on Intel
Think mines like 14,14,14, 34. Don't know if its the front 3 numbers or last one thats most important. 3200 speed seemed good. Noticed as you go up in speed the cl goes higher
Right now got the 9900k at 5ghz with the ram at 3200
3080 isnt = 3080 ti tho
Vram not bottleneck here
not bottleneck just something like that would get closer to 12gb like
Ehhhh
If you wanted you could experiment with overclocking that, it's a b-die kit most likely so you could increase voltage to 1.5v and set frequency up. Try 3400, test stability, then 3600 and test stability.
is there any video about a dell inspiron 570 disassembly?
There's pictures in the service manual https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-560_service manual_en-us.pdf
i want to sell mine, and disassembly and clean the heck out of it
It looks pretty simple to me, just a bunch of screws. Even the hard drive cage comes off with just a couple screws.
my pc turns on for 2 seconds and the home screen is visible, then it comepletely goes blacck
could someone help
sometimes it also goes white
and sometimes this weird purple
not sure whats wrong
Try another video port and cable
It's not unheard of for hdmi/dp ports to fail
the thing is
i can see the home screen with the apps etc
for like 2 seconds
so its def giving off a signal
but perhaps it only does for a couple of seconds
If the cable is bad it could lose signal integrity after a few seconds like that
ok
im trying a hdmi
rn
give me a sec
welp
hdmi
also failed
same result
white screen now
Try reseating the GPU in its slot
like removing it and putting it back?
Yes
i did it yesterday
You can also try another slot if you have one
If that still doesn't work see if you can get a picture in bios
yo whoever linked the Amazon m27q thanks I got bestbuy to refund me the difference from when I bought it, extra 65 dollars now 😎
like going into the bios instead of loading into the home screen?
by smashing f11?
Right, but most modern boards delete is the key you want
it says windows did not load properly
Is that screen working at least? If so it's probably a driver problem and you can fix it with DDU in safe mode
