Column Access Strobe (CAS) latency, or CL, is the delay time of your RAM receiving a command and then being able to issue it. The numbers for the timings will look something like this; 15-17-17-35. Those numbers indicate how many clock cycles it takes for the RAM to respond to the command. However, faster MHz RAM with slower CAS timings might be slower than lower MHz RAM with faster CAS timings.
fossil cedar
i also found a evga 2060 for $120

If your concern is speed and price, $10 for a lower CL seems reasonable.

Better than what I have.
I am not a gamer, really. I played consoles when I was younger, but really haven't played much at all since 2003 or so. I have a Nintendo Wii and did put it down before finishing Skyward Sword.
I'll do a nostalgia tour every now and again and queue up my RetroPie to play old SNES and N64 titles, maybe one or two PSX.
But I started building my first PC in 12/2019. Micro ATX SFF build. It was fun.
That list has evolved, but it had a 1060 6GB EVGA GPU I found on Craigslist for $150 around July last year.
I used it so I could use 2x DisplayPorts.
But I really didn't need it, because I am focused on business and work, local politics, volunteer work...

Hows the 12600k treating you?
young sierra
Waiting on the z690 and getting the retention plate for the AIO back still.
It is sitting in its box, next to me still.
I know you do this a lot, but we have been talking since Monday.
I returned the z590, the i5-11600K and the 2x32GB 3200 Crucial vengeance sticks
anyway, I started about a month ago on this new build and with the z590 having HDMI and DisplayPort on the board I really had no use for the 1060 6GB.
So I put it on Ebay.
Then wegg put KOTOR on sale for effectively free, and someone mentioned how they would love to play it for the first time again. I remember all the hype, but I never played the game, so I sprung for the $2.99.
Then Battlefront 2 was also $2.99 and now the Intel UHD is a problem.

I've had heat issues with the 5800x granted im using a 5600x stock cooler but I came across this video that completely shocked me. I was getting 90-91 degrees playing rainbow six seige on max settings and it was bad. After doing this I'm at a stable 55 degrees. You maybe wondering if this lessens fps but it actully increases your fps by letting the gpu do a little more work. I just wanted to share this before you upgrade to a new cooler this saved me money. https://youtu.be/I3Nujm8D8ys

it's
only a workaround tbh
but works to keep cpu from throttling if thermals are so bad

That's really hard to see. Would you be able to put that into PcpartPicker ?

Yes 16 go is basically a need in today's gaming.
Valorant does not need 16 but COD is better with 16.

okey ive been looking at these drgb cables more
This needs to go into a thingy that is connected to something by motherboard, because I don’t have pins directly on the motherboard
And these need to go into one of the top thingys also coming from somthing else, idk
i cant put them together otherwise my side lighting and the little light on top of the case dont work
so idk
i cant explain this
basically what do i need to make my front fans light up, i know it has to do with these

Show me hard to justify that much for b series board that is z series territory
mossy venture
Show me hard to justify that much for b series board that is z series territory
z or b doesnt classify how good a board is
especially for amd
that being said, i wouldnt pay that much for a b450, especially with a decent b550 board being under 150$
bleak hound
I paid 100$ for my b460 ,put a 10400f,16gb and a 3060ti and called it a day i don't think mobo natters that much for performance
mossy venture
disagreed
motherboards VRMS can weigh in heavily on performance
a cheap motherboard can fail easily
bleak hound
Depends on the cpu
mossy venture
such as most biostar motherboard
for a 10400f, motherboard doesnt matter terribly
b560 is better because then it can run XMP
but exact model wont matter much, since its not like 10400f gets hot or uses a lot of power
as for most b450s (keyword being most) i wouldnt put over a 5600x in one
bleak hound
But what CPU he planning on getting he did not tell ys
long rock
yeah i have a 5600X in my B450 Tomahawk max
oh yeah, i was gonna run a splitter on my front 3 fans
i just still dont know if i need a new board or not for my front fans to light up
long rock
ugh i need a controller, nvm
earnest olive
b560 is better because then it can run XMP
you can run xmp on b460
just that whatever xmp profile you run will be limited to 2666 frequency
if you apply a 3200 16-18-18-38 profile you will get 2666 16-18-18-38
still better than 2666c19 jedec

lookin at you asus

ehhh
nova tinsel
Companies that manufacture large amouts of prebuilt PCs usually use the same case for a large portion of their products so if a machine assembles the computers it's doing the exact same movements to assemble certain models so they only need to move in one specific way in order to assemble the computers
Or maybe the cases are designed in a way that makes it easier for machines to organize the cables
As far as I know they just throw all the parts to a truck and it magically assembles when they arrive to your home or store
frank stirrup
mostly those tiny little power button ones and stuff
thats where a robot would excel actually
cable management however
desert gulch
thats where a robot would excel actually
doubt
youd have to have it so insanely precise
and finding a way to reliably grip the connector would be difficult
frank stirrup
youd have to have it so insanely precise
that is why robots are used on most assembly lines
desert gulch
they use them on tiny little 2 pin case connectors?

No, only on asus amd boards asus calls it docp instead of xmp because they don't want to pay intel the 50c fee for it lol

Also how did you come up with the 3200 number ?
it's just the next step down from 3600mhz in terms of xmp
2933 iirc is just default mobo settings

if that didnt work I would unplug all hard drives and restart the pc with none connected then shut down plug in the hard drive with windows on it and start it up and see if it goes straight to bios if not plug in the remaining hard drives and should be good to go. Motherboards can get stupid if hard drives move around
mossy venture
yeah the boot order was fine i believe
If nothing else works you could try reinstalling windows
I dont see how that would fix it tho
Could also run a chkdsk and sfc/scannow
tight sorrel
I dont know man, its going to bios, thats way before boot sector is read, or am I talking out my rear?
zealous edge
yeah the boot order was fine i believe
I recommended trying this of it did not work already.
Do you still have the USB drive windows was installed on?
Take out any other drives, except the boot drive.
Delete all drive partitions on the boot drive.

That's a personal question, like what do you have no, ram gpu and cooler wise because you might need to buy new ram and cooler/save up for better gpu and what is your use case?

Np
raw crane
Does it not have one of those things by the USB ports?
Like the plastic cover or something
Idk what it’s called
raw crane
Oh sick, just ordered it i APPRECAITE it
Now for the cpu
Wait is it fine if I get the i7 12 series? @fossil cedar
Orrr does it perform basically the same?
I got the i7 😊
fossil cedar
Wait is it fine if I get the i7 12 series? <@!191276897227898880>
Yeah, i would wait til 12700(f) is back in stock tho, going paying the premium for an oc cpu without the mobo to do it not worth
fossil cedar
I got the i7 😊
I'd get different mobo then
raw crane
What mobo then
raw crane
Okay I returned the mobo gonna get that one then
raw crane
Make sure ddr4 version
Yeah I cleared that already
bleak hound
@fossil cedar there are boards with both ddr4 and ddr5
He might be tempted to get ddr5 later on

@fossil cedar what does this review mean about it?

From who biostar lmao
Probs gonna suck

<@191276897227898880> there are boards with both ddr4 and ddr5
Those don’t exist, it’s two completely different dimm slots
fossil cedar
Those don’t exist, it’s two completely different dimm slots
Think they meant a combo board, biostar did one or 2 swapping from ddr3 to 4, they sucked tho
vague oracle
Like it has both ddr4 and DDR5 dimm slots on one board?
fossil cedar
Like it has both ddr4 and DDR5 dimm slots on one board?
Yeah i don't know of any tho
bleak hound
Like it has both ddr4 and DDR5 dimm slots on one board?
Yeah something like that exist during beginning of all ddr generation

Hey guys do you know if a Ryzen 7 5800x can work with a ASRock b550 steel legend?
fossil cedar
It should, only problem with that board is no bios flashback, apart from that great board

Wdym by bios flashback?
fossil cedar
It's a way of updating bios without needing a supported cpu

I'm looking to take some old PC parts and use them for a project. Only thing I'm missing is a power supply (and a gpu, but for what I'm using a bare minimum gt710 is all I need). What should I be looking for in a power supply, and do you have any recommendations?

No igpu. It's an old athlon 860k

Ahh

No igpu. It's an old athlon 860k
Personally I'd look for a cheap power supply on r/hardwareswap

gigabyte psus
a lot of thermaltake psus
any random non branded psus, i wouldnt trust smthn without a name
frail valve
Ah there we go. Thanks for that.
mossy venture
any budget for the psu?
frail valve
The reason i was asking for pointers was because my dad searched "power supply" on Amazon and was like "oh look at this"
It was from a brand I had never heard of
mossy venture
if you cant find something cheaper thats decent quality https://www.amazon.com/BitFenix-Formula-Standard-BF-650G-BP-FM650ULAG-7R/dp/B0776XSRJJ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3I0YIEBNFLXXT&keywords=bitfenix+formula+gold&qid=1642445350&sprefix=bitfenix+formula+gold%2Caps%2C72&sr=8-3

i think thats the one pato reccommends
fossil cedar
Is there anything I should avoid?
Anything D tier preferably but really E tier in the list in the pins
fossil cedar
i think thats the one pato reccommends
Yeah but that's overkill for 1st Feb cpu

Ok thanks for reminding me of the tier list

and if i dont have any hard drives? would this apply to the ssd i have installed
narrow rose
@little osprey yeah I would still try it
yes any storage drive including nvme,sata,pcie,ssd,hdd,ied all of them
take them all out and start the pc with no drives

Sata ssds

then put the one with windows on it back in and see what happens might have to do one restart after this

does your laptop have a dgpu?
it looks like a laptop gpu
fossil cedar
CPU should be the die under the heat pipe thing above
Think they wouldn't put heatisnk on gpu?
stoic island
Looks like thermal pad on there so I assume it might be cooled with like the bottom chassis
fossil cedar
Oh you're right i thought it was colour of die for a sec
stoic island
But it could still be smth like chipset, although never really seen a chipset chip on a laptop
frank stirrup
its either the cpu or the gpu its too big to be the chipset tbh
fossil cedar
its either the cpu or the gpu its too big to be the chipset tbh
Well i didn't know how old the laptop is 
Just realized ddr4 ram tho
frank stirrup
my money is on cpu
stoic island
my money is on cpu
My bet is CPU is under here
mossy venture
Well i didn't know how old the laptop is <:steveconfused:722597717465104414>
yeah took me a min for that lol
summer tusk
my best guess was the chipset but i feel like it would get really hot without any cooling
stoic island
Could you take the thermal pad off and see what's written on the chip
frank stirrup
My bet is CPU is under here
this even got the cpu alignment trianles tho
summer tusk
its not a thermal pad. its reflective
stoic island
What
summer tusk
chipset then?
stoic island
That's weird
frank stirrup
my money is still on cpu
stoic island
Why is it like that
summer tusk
the CPU is under the heatpipe with the GPU
stoic island
Coloring still looks like thermal pad to me but what
fossil cedar
Id cpu and gpu under heat pipe it gotta be chipset
stoic island
If it's CPU or GPU die there would be something that would be inscribed onto the die
frank stirrup
not cpu die right
summer tusk
give me a sec to take the back plate off my laptop again

give me a sec to take the back plate off my laptop again
what gpu is in the laptop?
