@mild axle what's gour budget?

mild axle
#

£1000

fossil cedar
#

1k?

#

Okay

mild axle
#

Used for blender

fossil cedar
#

Wifi or no?

mild axle
#

Nice to have but not strictly required

fossil cedar
#

Okay it's 5£ more so

mild axle
#

If it fits then yes

fossil cedar
#

How much storage?

mild axle
#

At least a terabyte total

fossil cedar
#

Okay

jagged ember
#

pato hi

#

good timing

mild axle
#

Also make sure it’s available by Christmas

#

@fossil cedar

jagged ember
#

for halo infinite and general productivity

#

budget is currently unknown yet but ik they want to save money

fossil cedar
#
vague oracle
jagged ember
#

its a tier a

#

so i think its okay lol

#

a gf was more expensive than it so

mild axle
#

@fossil cedar could you help find one with more ram?

jagged ember
#

i'd go a little easier on the pings lol

mild axle
#

Ok

vague oracle
#

Looking at the one he sent, you can have 32Gb for about 70 more

mild axle
#

Hmmm

#

It doesn’t fit in under 1000

#

Then

#

With 32gb

vague oracle
#

Nvm then

jagged ember
#

ty

fossil cedar
jagged ember
#

why not 11400 tho?

mild axle
#

I’m doing blender fluid sims

vague oracle
#

Universe how much ram do you have now?

fossil cedar
mild axle
#

In my fx system, 6gb

vague oracle
#

How much of it are you using up when running blender?

jagged ember
fossil cedar
#

16gb is so much more, it's crucial ram anyway so super easy to match down the road if you need 32gb

mild axle
#

While running blender I hit 14gb ram usage a few times, when I had 14gb installed

vague oracle
#

Personally I was fine with 16gb of ram until I started doing CAD professionally

mild axle
#

Cad does not involve simulating water at high resolution XD

vague oracle
#

If you were using up all 14gb then yeah go for 32

vague oracle
mild axle
#

Idk how to get a system with: Core i5 (10/11th gen) an rtx 3060 and 32gb ram for under £1k

#

I got close

vague oracle
#

So save up

mild axle
#

Like within £20

vague oracle
#

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

mild axle
#

Yea

#

Lemme show you mine

fossil cedar
#

32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 10400f 3060 good case no proprietary, actually removing wifi -5£

mild axle
#

Brb

#

Ye it’s about as close as I got

#

Except I also had an optical drive bay too

fossil cedar
#
fossil cedar
#

Lol

mild axle
#

I have in the past made custom optical drive bay things

#

This case

#

Wait

#

@fossil cedar

fossil cedar
#

Mhm

mild axle
#

Fck

fossil cedar
#

Bro spend the extra 16£ lol

mild axle
#

I have that in ctrl v

#

On here an rtx 2060 super cost more than a 3060

fossil cedar
#

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

mild axle
#

Ye

rustic mountain
#

Hi there

mild axle
#

Hello

rustic mountain
#

Got a GP66 Leopard 11UG-018 from newegg and I would like to add some ram and SSD

mild axle
#

Ok ask gumball

frank stirrup
#

@fossil cedar i sleep just walk him through it

#

Thanks

frank stirrup
#

Im off to bed

#

Sorry

mild axle
#

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

frank stirrup
#

I live in asia

mild axle
#

Ye ik

rustic mountain
#

Any idea?

viral ore
#

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?

rustic mountain
#

32gb

viral ore
#

and how much storage?

rustic mountain
#

2to ssd if possible

viral ore
#

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?

rustic mountain
#

Yep 1tb

#

Don4t sure if it can work with 3tb

viral ore
#

it will work with whatever ssd you want to put in there

rustic mountain
#

1tb+1tb max I think

#

oh?

viral ore
#

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

rustic mountain
#

So 1tb 2280 M.2 ssds will be fine

viral ore
#

whatever you need

#

i would suggest 1tb tho

#

due to costs

rustic mountain
#

Got it

viral ore
#

helix L, good cheap drive

rustic mountain
#

Nice8

viral ore
#

and heres some real good memory that will pair nice with the 11800H

rustic mountain
#

Thanks a lots for your recommendations

viral ore
#

np

rustic mountain
#

I was a little bit....lost

viral ore
#

understandable

#

thats why newegg service points people here lol

rustic mountain
#

And about my 3 year protection plan when adding those parts?

#

Do I lose it?

sharp tundra
#

Hey guys, my buddy needs a gaming laptop for $1300, any recommendations?

limpid hull
#

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.

sharp tundra
viral ore
#

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

stoic island
limpid hull
stoic island
#

Noctua has the mounting bracket free on requesting it when you have proof of purchase, but it doesn't come with the cooler yet

sharp tundra
limpid hull
#

okay thank you

sharp tundra
# limpid hull 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

sharp tundra
vocal lava
#

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

wispy matrix
#

Aww pato is not online.

sharp tundra
wispy matrix
#

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

potent portal
sharp tundra
#

Um, what in the heck is this? AMD Instinct MI250x?

viral ore
#

owo

viral ore
#

depends

#

they both good chips

#

just depends on how much you wanna pay

#

well

#

3600 for 230 is a bad deal

sharp tundra
#

That chip is $350 alone

vocal lava
#

Oh ok

sharp tundra
#

A third of your budget gone and you'll be missing many other components

viral ore
#

i would recommend an intel chip

#

but first

viral ore
#

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

sharp tundra
# vocal lava Oh ok

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.

fossil cedar
sharp tundra
#

Like really good

fossil cedar
sharp tundra
#

Hmmmm, alright

fossil cedar
#

@sharp tundra have tou seen how hot the 12900k is lol

sharp tundra
#

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

fossil cedar
#

@sharp tundra this is the 12900k stock

sharp tundra
#

Jeez is that idle?

fossil cedar
#

No ofc not, under load

sharp tundra
#

Oh okay, had me concerned a bit

fossil cedar
#

All idle temps to is measure room temp lol

#

Blender all core workload as mentioned in graph

sharp tundra
#

70°C isn't THAT bad tho is it?

fossil cedar
#

Tech power up(tpu) oc'd to 5ghz it ran at 102c on a liquid freezer ii 360

fossil cedar
sharp tundra
#

Oh....

#

Would custom loop be any better then?

fossil cedar
#

Depends, but custom loop definitely can be better yes

#

Holy link

sharp tundra
#

What the actuall....

sharp tundra
#

That link was longer than my life span

#

Lol

vocal lava
#

Kinda messed it up

vocal lava
#

Ok should I go for a 5

sharp tundra
#

The price tho weggCringe

viral ore
#

secure gpu

#

then we will help

#

or we can find a prebuilt

#

or you can get a cpu with a decent iGPU

fossil cedar
viral ore
vocal lava
#

I have no clue what that is

viral ore
#

its something you cant buy

vocal lava
#

😐

viral ore
#

and also something you need

vocal lava
#

Is that where I’m going wrong

viral ore
#

yes

vocal lava
fossil cedar
#

@vocal lava what's your budget?

sharp tundra
# vocal lava Amazon

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

viral ore
vocal lava
#

Trying to stay under 800

#

But if have to go to 1000 I’m fine

viral ore
#

what kind of monitor do you have?

#

or do you not have one yet

vocal lava
#

Nope

#

Im gonna save money

viral ore
#

go to goodwill

vocal lava
#

I want to get a head start on stuff

viral ore
#

get 20 dollar monitor

sharp tundra
vocal lava
#

You can?!?!

fossil cedar
viral ore
#

thats p good

#

well

#

good nuff

#

lol

vocal lava
#

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

viral ore
#

you didnt want to order from newegg?

vocal lava
#

Yea

sharp tundra
viral ore
#

dw about it

vocal lava
#

Ok

#

I never heard of it

viral ore
#

i trust Newegg 100x more than amazon any day

#

thats why im here

vocal lava
#

Oh

viral ore
#

amazon sus asf

vocal lava
#

True

sharp tundra
viral ore
#

newegg is geared towards computer hardware tho

#

so they are a very good online retailer for all things tech

vocal lava
#

So it’s like a Amazon for computers but much much better

viral ore
#

its so much better

#

in a lot of small but meaningful ways

vocal lava
#

Ok

#

Well I will maybe order a prebuilt from here

fossil cedar
vocal lava
#

I have to find a good but cheap ish monitor

viral ore
#

yeah, they do sell a handful of random things too lol

sharp tundra
viral ore
#

craigslist

#

facebook marketplace

#

those are my top suggestions

#

something like... 20-60 dollars

sharp tundra
#

Craigslist? kekw

viral ore
#

craigslist pog

sharp tundra
#

Okay.......

fossil cedar
viral ore
#

just avoid obvious scams and talk to people for a bit before wasting time going to pick something up

sharp tundra
#

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.

wispy matrix

#

Is a CV 550 enough to drive both an I5 10400f and an RTX 3060

fossil cedar

mild axle

There is a few more

fossil cedar
#

Ehh well I've never had to treat a pc with fire damage but make sure all the connecters are plugged in properly

tacit maple
fossil cedar
#

Like all the power connecters

mild axle
#

Hmmm maybe just don’t trust it for a bit

gaunt fiber
#

wires look okay

fossil cedar
fossil cedar

Could be bit loose

gaunt fiber

And plus I’m tired

#

Anyway

fossil cedar
#

Not an excuse

mild axle
#

I’m just here looking for a power supply

fossil cedar
#

You were clearly just wanting my attention only

#

Good luck looking

gaunt fiber
#

i know yall are really knowledgeable on pcs but i think ill go elsewhere

sharp tundra
#

@fossil cedar hey, you know of a good gaming laptop for $1300? Got a buddy who's making the switch from console.

fossil cedar
gaunt fiber
#

gotcha

#

i think either melted solder or psu

mild axle
#

Like what’s wrong with one joke.

fossil cedar
#

No jokes are funny

gaunt fiber
#

idk maybe the fact he has no house to live in? but idk

little osprey
mild axle
#

Alr I’ll cya later

little osprey
#

Cya pus

sharp tundra
# mild axle Alr I’ll cya later

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.

little osprey
#

Fr man

#

Was not a good 2 days for sure

mild axle
#

Just a quick question, why did you send my a friend request on discord?

sharp tundra
little osprey
#

Because I forgot that I was in this discord so i was gonna put you in your place

gaunt fiber
#

well thanks for the help Pato

little osprey
#

What happened is not a joking matter, that's what people like you don't realize

#

But yes pato thank you for the help

gaunt fiber
#

he'll ask if he needs something else tho

#

what i need is lower gpu prices tho but thats for another day.

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Yo thanks man means a lot

sharp tundra
fossil cedar
#

Sorry i couldn't help more

gaunt fiber
#

sadly @sharp tundra

little osprey
#

Your good, I think my components are fried tbh

gaunt fiber
#

1070 ti is uhhh yeah

sharp tundra
#

@mild axle also I think you owe them an apology

tribal tendon
#

Hi

little osprey
#

I don't want an apology from that child

#

Mindset of a 15 year old making jokes like the one he made

sharp tundra
#

Kinda

little osprey
#

Are there any prebuilts similar to this one on Newegg? I checked all around the site and couldn't find any cheaper

haughty void
#

lol

sharp tundra
#

I'll admit, corsair is expensive, but that just means it's for the prestigious few.

#

Like me 😎

mild axle
#

So please can someone help me get advice for my psu?

sharp tundra
mild axle
#

I thought he was trolling to begin with, so did pato

haughty void
#

so trolling back would be ok?

#

just ignore if you think its a troll

mild axle
#

?

sharp tundra
#

Didn't think so

fossil cedar
#

@mild axle 4 minutes later and wow you edited your post, such a joke

haughty void
#

lol

#

imagine

fierce rune
#

So like

#

Say you make 100$ every two weeks and are looking for a gaming rig

earnest olive
#

@mild axle let's show a little class please

#

consider this a formal warning

sharp tundra
fierce rune
#

What would be the best way to go

#

Damn

fossil cedar
#

Wait til you have ~700$

sharp tundra
#

But on the bright side, gpu stock and prices MIGHT be fixed by then

fossil cedar
#

For gaming at least

sharp tundra
#

Highly doubt it tho

fossil cedar
#

For office work etc you can do really cheap pcs

potent portal
sharp tundra
#

So actually 2027 is what you mean?

#

When the rtx 7090 will be out

fierce rune
#

I mean at least your being straight up but 5 months is crazy

potent portal
#

Nah, there's several new production plants coming online late '22-'23

fossil cedar
sharp tundra
#

Don't we still have a silicon shortage issue?

potent portal
#

It won't be immediate but at least the plants won't have to run at 120% capacity any more

fossil cedar
sharp tundra
#

Can't make semiconductors without it

potent portal
#

That's an easier fix than the finished chips. There's plenty of ways to make silicon.

#

#

Call me ignorant but who is he? I've heard the name but nothing besides that

earnest olive
#

social media guy who got famous by swinging around a lot of money

#

that he gives to his fanbase

potent portal
#

Huh. Weird

#

Is his whole thing spend money to make money, or is it just handouts for no real reason?

sharp tundra
#

Pretty much, but he's a good guy, very selfless

earnest olive
#

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

sharp tundra
potent portal
#

Well knowing how much ad revenue some of those influencers can make I'm sure he got more than that from the single video

sharp tundra
#

Recently he started a charity called #teamseas that's to raise $30million to remove 30millions lbs of trash from the ocean.

little osprey
potent portal
#

Now teamseas I've seen, that's gotten a lot of coverage. I didn't know he started it, though.

sharp tundra
#

I'm not entirely sure if he officially started it, but I think he was the main guy to get the name out there

potent portal
#

Getting a big influencer to spread the word and getting other influencers involved is genius, whoever started it.

sharp tundra
#

The was the entire idea

#

Last year they did teamtrees

idle nimbus
#

whoever started the idea of exams is an idiot

sharp tundra
#

Same concept but to plant trees for every dollar donated

Mr Beast gives away PCs right? That's how he's relevant

#

#

can mr. beast give away the corsair 500mm fan

#

I want one

idle nimbus
#

yoooo my man dallas the city in texas woah

sharp tundra
#

"Corsair is bad though"

earnest olive
#

I mean true I'd rather have a 500mm arctic fan

#

but only corsair made one

potent portal
#

Get a box fan and paint in corsair colors
It'll last longer too

earnest olive
#

so I gotta settle for what I can get smh

sharp tundra
earnest olive
#

when 500mm argb fan compatible with PC argb header

sharp tundra
#

Praise thee

earnest olive
#

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

potent portal
#

They covered that at GN

earnest olive
#

oh really

#

what was the verdict?

potent portal
#

It needed like 5A or something

sharp tundra
#

You'd need a whole 3 sata power slots

#

I did hear that it wa-

#

lol !

sharp tundra
#

The case isn't absolutely necessary but it does help a lot

#

Fr tho, do you have a storage drive and gpu?

karmic cipher
#

nor the GPU or drive...

sharp tundra
#

Definitely debatable

karmic cipher
#

:p

little osprey
#

So it's not worth?

sharp tundra
#

True a gpu isn't absolutely necessary but you better have igpu

#

And a drive, yeah

#

You need that

sharp tundra
#

I don't see a boot deviceweggUh

#

I.e., a drive

karmic cipher
#

It didn't POST... who care about drive !

potent portal
#

A B450 will need a bios update before it works with 5000 series

sharp tundra
karmic cipher
#

That's something usefull...

potent portal
#

You'll need an older CPU to update the bios with since that board doesn't have flashback

karmic cipher
#

great...

#

and newegg sell that as a kit... fml...

potent portal
#

It's not all bad news, you can get a cheap Athlon like $20

karmic cipher
#

and those EZ diag led, are they reliable. If it is the CPU led, could it be bad ram ?

potent portal
#

They're usually pretty good indicators, but not perfect

karmic cipher
#

and that "G-SKILL Ripsaws" should be compatible for that MB/CPU ?

potent portal
#

G.skill are some of the most compatible kits in general

karmic cipher
#

thanks, i'll try to find older amd cpu to flash that mobo...

#

I thought I had ordered wrong ram

potent portal
#

Nope, should be fine with that memory. Faster would be better but it'll do.

#

YES

#

i spent like 2 hours trying to change the cpu cooler

#

it was my first time ok

obsidian wigeon
#

i got it too lol

errant fiber
#

i'm gonna do a recase soon

#

rlly?

obsidian wigeon
#

but stock cooler

errant fiber
#

ew

#

how

obsidian wigeon
#

and 3600x/1660s

errant fiber
#

ah

obsidian wigeon
#

well it's mining so idc

errant fiber
#

nevermind

#

it's kinda loud still

obsidian wigeon
#

not too loud

errant fiber
#

but i think i need to fix my fan curve for my cooler i think

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

errant fiber
#

if i started mining with my 3080 i'd be able to get 101mh/s

#

is that good

obsidian wigeon
#

that's basically non lhr

#

so yeah

errant fiber
#

ya it's non lhr

#

is it hard fixing fan curve

obsidian wigeon
#

tune it and you get like 120

errant fiber
#

and where do i do it

#

holy

obsidian wigeon
#

well

#

in bios

little osprey
#

feedback?

obsidian wigeon
#

nice

#

that's all imma say, no faults

little osprey
#

W

#

thanks

potent portal
#

Should be good for upgrading to a 3060 ti also, maybe a 3070 if you don't overclock much

little osprey
#

Yeah definitely

#

3060ti would make that build perfect

pliant schooner
#

Is that build good and how many wats am I going to need ?

stoic island
#

Artesian not the best SI

pliant schooner
#

Why

stoic island
#

and why is it 850w sfx PSU in an o11

pliant schooner
#

Idk

#

I’m just trying to make a good build for me

#

Explain I’m confused

#

Is it good ?

#

Will it work fast

stoic island
#

they tried to do some funky things that might've been trying to scam Demonmit

#

but well

#

that list is very unspecific

pliant schooner
#

Wdym

#

Unspecific

stoic island
#

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

jovial bough
#

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

pliant schooner
stoic island
pliant schooner
#

Bigger case

stoic island
# pliant schooner

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

jovial bough
#

@stoic island would I need to install drivers and software

stoic island
jovial bough
#

@stoic island oh ok thank you

pliant schooner
#

So I changed the car anything else

#

Case

#

Will the build work ?

stoic island
#

but well

pliant schooner
#

Ok

stoic island
#

I don't like how they were basically trying to scam demonmit out of 3000$

pliant schooner
#

Well

#

Will my build work and run good

stoic island
#

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

pliant schooner
#

Well I tried nzxt but their sold out of pcs

stoic island
#

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

pliant schooner
jovial bough
#

Oh evga 750gq is decent PSU I have it

#

gold +

obsidian wigeon
#

nzxt is even worse for aios

#

liquid freezer ii is great

#

or ek aio

#

they both have rgb versions

jovial bough
#

👍

pliant schooner
obsidian wigeon
#

the 750gq is actually

#

tier c

jovial bough
#

Oh really?

obsidian wigeon
#

so it's fine

jovial bough
#

It works fine for me though

obsidian wigeon
#

tier b is 850w and above

#

well tier c is in the fine range so yeah

stoic island
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

it works fine

jovial bough
#

I don’t really need 750 but I had access to it so I got it

stoic island
#

Tier C is just lower end

#

It's usable, it's definitely not bomb tier

obsidian wigeon
#

^

jovial bough
#

How about evga 650bq

obsidian wigeon
#

that's tier c too

stoic island
#

they list their sources and such if you're curious about reasoning

jovial bough
#

I’m trying to make a pc build for my friend

stoic island
#

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

jovial bough
#

with a budget of under $800

obsidian wigeon
#

I can help ya with that

#

5600G build is possible

mossy venture
obsidian wigeon
#

ew

#

but i can try i guess

rocky grove
#

Hey guys whats alternative to Mushkin Pilot-E 1TB SSD and Phanteks Revolts Pro 850W?

obsidian wigeon
#

this with 5600g

#

and another

#

i think this one sure is better value

#

with all new parts

#

this other one has 10400f and 1050ti

little osprey
#

Dude

#

Apus are good

obsidian wigeon
#

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

mossy venture
#

5600g close enough to a 1030

#

1050 ti obviously better

obsidian wigeon
#

way better

#

APUs are great sure but they're not any faster since what

#

3 years?

#

igpu perf wise ofc

little osprey
#

I have a ryzen 7 5700g

#

Which performs good af

mossy venture
#

yes

#

1050 ti still beats it

little osprey
#

And when I get an actual gpu it’s just even better

#

Lol

mossy venture
#

no one is saying it isnt good

little osprey
#

Yeah I get it

#

I run 90 fps on gta

#

High 1080p

@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

so no

#

unless you wanna take it out entirely so it runs straight off ac

obsidian wigeon
jovial bough

ok

obsidian wigeon

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

#

will adding case fans reduce cpu temps or is that just the cpu cooler?

potent portal
#

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

That doesn't look like it has a whole lot of airflow options, chances are a better case is a good investment

errant fiber
#

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

errant fiber
potent portal
#

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

errant fiber
errant fiber
#

is it hard taking out everything from the case and moving it to another?

potent portal
#

It's like building a new PC basically

#

Except you don't need to remove the CPU cooler

errant fiber
#

thank god

#

that part was a pain

#

mostly because it was my first time and i barely knew what i was doing

potent portal
#

They really can be a pain, even for more experienced hands

errant fiber
#

should i try building a pc on pcbuildingsimulator until i'm comfortable?

#

i heard that works wonders

potent portal
#

Sure, not a bad idea

errant fiber
#

awesome

#

i have a mATX mobo, it should fit in an ATX case correct

potent portal
#

Yes

errant fiber
#

i'm thinking of a lian li mini or a 4000d

#

which one should i do

potent portal
#

Probably 4000d or p400a digital

errant fiber
#

i'll do a 4000d

#

i could get it for a discount because of my bestbuy points anyways

#

thanks

potent portal
#

Sweet, no problem

errant fiber
potent portal
#

No doubt

errant fiber
#

awesome

#

i'm idling at probably 49ish

potent portal
#

Idle doesn't really matter, that's more your fan curves

errant fiber
#

i was idling at 70ish with the old cooler lol

#

ah

#

should i adjust mine for now until i get a case?

potent portal
#

Probably wait, it's fine for now as is

obsidian wigeon
#

but yeah everything in that prebuilt can be easily moved to a diff case

errant fiber
#

oh yeah that was the version i was gonna buy

obsidian wigeon
#

good

errant fiber
#

the painful part looks like putting the motherboard inside the new case and organizing the cables

potent portal
#

Placing the board is easy, especially with mATX. The cables won't be fun.

errant fiber
#

worse than a cpu cooler?

#

god my experience today was so bad lol

potent portal
#

Nah, it just takes patience for cable management. Not nearly as frustrating.

errant fiber

hm alright

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?

fans arent RGB, but the cooler has some

Doesn't fit in p400a

#

Oh I thought that RGB was just a solid color.

fossil cedar
#

Confusing names tbf

#

Rgb is mess

stoic island
#

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

fossil cedar
#

And pins different

stoic island
#

aRGB is 5v, RGB is 12v

drifting garnet
#

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

stoic island
#

Usually no, but why even need that

drifting garnet
#

It looks nice lol

stoic island
#

it's on a fan

#

that's not even facing you

drifting garnet
#

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

stoic island
#

then do that

drifting garnet
#

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

Well if i can spend a little extra what would be something better for the SSD? Samsung Evo 970 pro?

stoic island

nah, don't need much more, like sn750 maybe as a sidegrade

I'd probs go mp600 core over 970

stoic island

I mean, don't really need pcie 4.0

and the mp600 core is qlc btw

SN750 actually on sale! $124.99 on newegg.ca for me!

$2059 cdn for a 3080 Ti. is that a reasonable deal?

Don't know the cad scalper price but they can go for that retail in the us, but it's too much money imo

tribal crater
#

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.

fossil cedar
#

Not if you're gaming

potent portal
#

3080 ti can beat 3090 in gaming. I know from experience.

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

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

tribal crater
#

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

potent portal
#

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.

fossil cedar
#

12gb maybe like 8k lol

#

Or 4k ultra cp277

tribal crater
#

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?

fossil cedar
#

Nope, the 6900xt is overall the best gpu for pure raster(fps non ray tracing)

#

Not by a huge amount tho

potent portal
#

They trade blows at the high end really, Nvidia wins at 4k and raytracing but AMD wins at 1080p, 1440p is a battleground

tribal crater
#

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

potent portal
#

"Only 4k 120Hz" lol

fossil cedar
#

Me with a better gpu running 1080p 144hz

little osprey
#

3080 are $1k

tribal crater
#

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

potent portal
#

The GPU doesn't really care if you have an Intel or AMD cpu

#

Rage mode turned out to be just a gimmick

tribal crater
#

Ahh ok that's why I thought to get the amd to go with the toxic,

potent portal
#

All rage mode really did was an auto overclock and higher power limit, nothing you can't do in afterburner

tribal crater
#

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

potent portal
#

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

tribal crater
#

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

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

signal merlin
#

ill use hdmi

#

instead of dp

potent portal
#

It's not unheard of for hdmi/dp ports to fail

signal merlin
#

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

potent portal

If the cable is bad it could lose signal integrity after a few seconds like that

hdmi

also failed

Try reseating the GPU in its slot
