building-and-recc-chat

[viral ore]

of course, it wouldnt to much of anything else

maybe minecraft and csgo at the lowest settings

[fringe sequoia]

i honestly trust whatever you suggest, if you think I should get a new system entirely I will

[viral ore]

you should get a new system. but that doesnt mean your wallet will allow it

you could revamp that small system for less than 100 dollars

[fringe sequoia]

$1000 max is my budget

[viral ore]

a whole new build would be closer to 400

oh

well then

what else do you want this PC to do?

[fringe sequoia]

I was thinking of maybe streaming as well

but that's a whole other thing\

[viral ore]

yeah lol theres nothing you can do with your current pc to make that feasible

that would definetly require a new pc

[fringe sequoia]

gotcha!

[viral ore]

the market for graphics cards sucks right now, so you can get modern cpus with iGPUs built in

they should be good enough for what you are looking to do

what do you have for a monitor right now?

[fringe sequoia]

oh let me look behind it to check

[viral ore]

of course, your other option would be to get a laptop

[fringe sequoia]

I have an Asus VS278Q-P LCD Monitor

[viral ore]

ahh, pretty standard 1080p60 display

thats good

[fringe sequoia]

as well as a Viewsonic vx2770smh-led monitor

but currently im only using the asus

[viral ore]

i assume you would like to use both

[tardy knoll]

@stoic island here is a 3060ti for 1450$ what you think? others recommended it with same role as you, and youd said they normally run closer to 100 https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali565/p/N82E16883360195

[fringe sequoia]

in a perfect world yes haha

[viral ore]

shouldnt be an issue, theyre both only 1080p

you would just need an hdmi and a DP cable, all modern components have support for more than 2 displays

[fringe sequoia]

Right

[viral ore]

if youve got 1k to spend, then maybe going for an APU isnt the best option. whats your opinion on ebay?

[fringe sequoia]

I trust it, never really had any issues

[viral ore]

good, thats the best place to get GPUs right now

[fringe sequoia]

but i dont think ive done purchases this big on there before

[viral ore]

the rest of the stuff you can get elsewhere, im just concerned with the gpu

[desert gulch]

Hwswap can have decent used gpus too

[viral ore]

true

[fringe sequoia]

I'm not really too picky, although again I'm really not confident on building my own

[viral ore]

its pretty easy, we can pick simple parts that wont complicate things

[fringe sequoia]

oh okay

would I be using the newegg build your own pc page?

[viral ore]

nah, ill just send links

eventually

[fringe sequoia]

oh okay!

[viral ore]

look, heres one now

https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i5-12400f-core-i5-12th-gen/p/N82E16819118358

going with this chip would set you up to have a system you could use for a very long time

[fringe sequoia]

nice!

[viral ore]

but, the resulting system would probably be in the 7-800 dollar range

[fringe sequoia]

That's fine

[viral ore]

if youre willing to actually go ahead and spend that much

some people like to say they have a 1k budget, but when the time comes to actually pay 1000 dollars, they dont want to lmao

it is a lot of money after all

[stark quail]

whats the best psu for a r 7 5800x and 2070s

[fringe sequoia]

Yeah it is But I definitely think its worth it, I've heard lots of friends push me to get a good one

[viral ore]

investing in a good system is definetly worth it in the long run

in your situation at least

[fringe sequoia]

right

[viral ore]

do you need wifi?

or do you have ethernet cable

[fringe sequoia]

I have a ethernet cable

[viral ore]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119543

motherboard

https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-500gb-black-sn750-se-nvme/p/N82E16820250190

ssd

[fringe sequoia]

would i get multiple of those?

of the ssd

[viral ore]

nah, just one

i honestly doubt you would use more than 512gb of storage

plus, if you need more, secondary HDDs are cheap

and you can get one either now or later

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232880

ram

oh, when are you looking to order everything?

im making decisions based on whats on sale rn

so some of these things will increase in price soon, or just go out of stock

[fringe sequoia]

Yeah def not now, I was planning on getting these after I get my taxes back

[viral ore]

ahh

so ignore everything ive sent

[fringe sequoia]

gotcha lol

[viral ore]

because it will all be irrelevant by next week haha

but yeah, now you know what to expect, come back the day you plan to order and someone here can whip together a list of things to buy

whether that be me or someone else

[fringe sequoia]

Sounds good! Thanks!

[viral ore]

np

[tardy knoll]

Im about to order this

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali565/p/N82E16883360195?Item=N82E16883360195

and this

https://www.newegg.com/27-g5-odyssey-gaming-monitor-with-1000r-curved-screen-lc27g55tqwnxza/p/N82E16824022901?Item=N82E16824022901

any advice???

[stoic island]

Case not the greatest but its fine

[tardy knoll]

diff than one u linked??

[tardy knoll]

tried to use affirm but they wanted 1k$ down on a 1800$ purchase

it appears i could order monitors though. didnt get the physical card of course but amazon doesnt skip a beat i already have it on file now in my amazon account lolol

damn with that gift card itd cost me 470 for the pair of monitors lol

[stoic island]

uh, I wouldn't get 2 of the same monitor for money reasons

second monitor usually doesn't need good specs

[coral linden]

I need help, is this good?

I5 7600
Asus 1060 3gb
Gigabyte 250 mb
8gb ddr4 Corsair
1tb hard drive
500w psu
With wifi and wind 10 for 675$ cad

[earnest olive]

no

[coral linden]

How so?

@earnest olive

[earnest olive]

overpriced

this would be considered an entry level rig in 2016

[coral linden]

Mhmm

If I could haggle him down to 600$

[earnest olive]

at current prices, $40 cpu, $30 mb, $15 ram, $160 gpu, $20 hdd, $5 psu, $15 wifi adapter

do the math yourself

[coral linden]

Here the prices are even more

[earnest olive]

wait thats usd prices

lol

[coral linden]

It’s Canadian

[earnest olive]

675 cad still overpriced

but the market prices i said are in usd

[coral linden]

So ram is like double almost triple

The cpu is about 200$ here rn with inflation and demand

Mb are cheap yes

But still like 60-80$

Gpu’s

God

Don’t get me started on gpu

There’s a freaking nut case asking 400$ for a 960

270$ for a gt1030

I remember when 1030’s were 60$

Like wtf

A gtx 1060 is like 300$ rn

And that’s the base line 1060

Not a ti

Or 1060 6gb

A 6gb would be like 350-400$ used!

It’s like insane here in Manitoba

I think I’ll try and haggle him down to 600$ and see if he bites

[strong raft]

Don't limit yourself to items in 1 town or "province".

[white flame]

got a friend building a PC. NVME M.2 drives are pretty new to me and we want to put 2 of them in this build. so my question is: should we go for the samsung 980 or the 970 evo plus? not much difference in price and from what i could find online, no difference in write speeds.

[south cliff]

are there and thermal pads for a rx 570 red dragon? As a replacment?and fans

[frank stirrup]

send me over a list of all your parts and what your budget is in https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[white flame]

we got everything else figured out. its just the boot drive and video game storage drive left. I know samsungs are leading the curve with M.2's right now

[frank stirrup]

just put everything uve figured out in the list

[white flame]

just want to know if i should save the $2 USD for an evo plus or just for the 980 lol

[frank stirrup]

ill make suggestions on everything

[frank stirrup]

neither drives could be worth it

just send me the parts list

[white flame]

kk working on it right now

[white flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yGMH9r

[frank stirrup]

what cpu?

[white flame]

waiting for the ryzen 7 5800X3D

its not out yet, but i know its the same AM4 socket

[frank stirrup]

pls tell me you arent getting a 3070 for 2k btw

please

[white flame]

no i got one already, just added it to the list to show you what i am planning to have or already have

[frank stirrup]

oh ok ok cool

2k 3070 gave me a heart attack

[white flame]

oh it gave me one too lolol

but we have the case, PSU and GPU already. he's ready to buy the RAM and storage right now. hence my question so I can tell which ones to buy and be on the look out for sales

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DdPkcb

[white flame]

I've seen that SK P31 model thrown around a lot. are they really that good? the price isnt that much different from the 980

[frank stirrup]

yes

[south cliff]

what are the thickness thermal pads of a rx 570 red dragon

[white flame]

alrighty then, I'll add them to the list

thank you for the help

[frank stirrup]

dunno google it

[south cliff]

i cant find anything

[abstract escarp]

[ruby sentinel]

Can I make a computer that runs on pickles?

My PC
Pickle computer

[potent portal]

You can run pickle juice in a custom loop. And make the reservoir a pickle jar.

Not advised for long term but would be fun for the memes

[stoic island]

Someone tried to make a PC run off potato but it really didn't generate much electricity

[potent portal]

You'd need a lot of potatoes for that

[stoic island]

They used a lot of potatoes

And they ended up making like a ras pi or smth like that run

[potent portal]

Apparently boiled potatoes have more energy

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/a-potato-battery-can-light-up-a-room-for-over-a-month-180948260/

[fossil cedar]

Yes

Just the hp one needs it

[tardy knoll]

I found a 3060ti for $1450 was gonna go with that

[tardy knoll]

@fossil cedar this combo here... Actually got a $150 gift card for signing up for Amazon credit card...the two monitors will run me only $470 and even got an offer to do 18 months, $26 a month zero interest. Shocked how decent that card is lol.

[fossil cedar]

That sounds decent too

[tardy knoll]

So just deciding how I want to purchase the tower itself

[fossil cedar]

Good idea

[tardy knoll]

26$ a month is really easy an I'll pay it off sooner. But that's a very convenient minimum and zero interest is awesome

[fossil cedar]

Nice 👍

[toxic wraith]

what is a good budget motherboard thats compatible with the p400a?

[fossil cedar]

For what cpu?

[toxic wraith]

just say

[fossil cedar]

Also depends what you consider budget but i wouldn't put a budget mobo in a more premium case personally when you can get like 50$ cases and have more money for better parts

[toxic wraith]

pls

[fossil cedar]

I can't need to say what CPU it's going to go with

[frank stirrup]

Crosshair VII

[toxic wraith]

im new to building pc

sry

[frank stirrup]

/s

[toxic wraith]

i wanna build my first pc

[fossil cedar]

Any non eatx board will fit in the case but like

[frank stirrup]

Send us the parts list on pcpartpicker

We improve on it

[fossil cedar]

Need to say what cpu

[toxic wraith]

i cant do ti rn

im in a game of val

[frank stirrup]

Then why ask questions

Dont be wasting our time just because uve got time to waste

Lmao

[toxic wraith]

sry i wasnt trying to get anyone mad i was just asking a question cuz i want a decent pc as my first one

[frank stirrup]

Dont ask when you dont have time for the answer

Common sense

[toxic wraith]

i thought i would just get a quick response mb

[flint sapphire]

Pheeny try to decide on what cpu you want or what your budget is with the case you want.

Budget would make the most sense if you already own that case

[tardy knoll]

After some quick mafs...I'm only 100$ away really from buying that 3060ti

Got $500 Amazon credit..and then Newegg/affirm approved me for $840 credit. Such a odd number.. but that's 1340 right there only need 1450 before tax

[tardy knoll]

So are there any 3060ti builds yalld recommend with a better case?

[fossil cedar]

Nah that's the best you're getting in a prebuilt, it's okay bit of proper airflow at least

[tardy knoll]

Mesh front I'd think is better than a solid plate atleast

[fossil cedar]

Yep

[tardy knoll]

I don't like the cloth looking straps though.

Oooo and do any of y'all run like a ozone machine near the PC if you smoke/vape/any of that jazz?

[fossil cedar]

The straps come off

Please DO NOT smoke near a pc, makes it DISGUSTING

[tardy knoll]

I just mean bud on occasion. Like in the same room if I had a purifier. That's all I was asking

Yea cig smoke is horrible, especially someone smoking right at the desk constantly.

[fossil cedar]

Same room will have same effect

[tardy knoll]

No one has tried those ozone machines?

[fossil cedar]

Just slower to build up

[tardy knoll]

Gotcha.

[fossil cedar]

Idk what an ozone machine is also i don't smoke

[tardy knoll]

I don't really, but like to once in a blue moon.

Just never been a concern as I havent had a nice PC before

@fossil cedar idk much about em either just seen people talk of them. Some ozone machines are purely for deodorizing a room and gotta be empty, but here's an active air purifier. https://www.greatvacs.com/products/powerful-6-stage-air-purifier-ozone-generator-by-new-comfort?currency=USD&variant=14206145331318&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6NOPBhCPARIsAHAy2zCrsl9wCbijj0D4IS-AaINdPsTZtnWmMJ5wQaKVj1f2oGhmRVL__50aAsJsEALw_wcB

[fossil cedar]

I mean up to you if you don't mind cleaning out the gunk

Ahh just an air purifier

[tardy knoll]

Oh and I totally forgot to mention it's not just smoke. I was thinking about dog hair and dander mainly 🤦... I have a golden retriever. Sorry that was crucial to leave out LMAO

The smoke was a random one off "could I do that now?". And answer probably still no. But the dog hair... Huge issue, I vaccum all the time but it's still around lol

I was thinking running something next to the PC would keep it cleaner basically.

[fossil cedar]

You'll be able to hoover the mesh panel shouldn't be a huge issue, you just needa do it often, less if you have your pc on your desk

[tardy knoll]

Ok. Yea we have our towers on our desks at work because of the dogs. All but one engineer, but he's also still using autocad like 20 freaking 13....whatever the last year was before they went subscription based... Talk about stubborn lol. The guy refuses to even have a recycle bin next to his trashcan for all the paper he throws away 🤦

I snuck one in there and he yeeted it into the hallway when he noticed it. So Im forever pulling hundreds of pages out of his trash to put in recycling because I'm a decent human

It's literally like cleaning up after children, working with engineers.

[fossil cedar]

Oof

[tardy knoll]

Lol I find it hilarious. Plenty of room for engineer jokes.

They had a $6000 office phone system that the end result of having was, no one would answer it and the stubborn engineer starts cursing every single time it rings.
So I disconnected those phones and made my cell phone the company line. Problem solved, I don't even gotta be in the office to take calls now. I'll be at home acting like I'm at my desk lol

[fossil cedar]

Lol, you could have just forwarded the call but yeah 😆

[tardy knoll]

No point in paying for extra phone service though. It's like having house phone and cell phone

And they'd only ring like 3 times before it went to voicemail so if I wasn't at my desk I'd always miss it. My cell phone rings now for all calls so doesn't matter where I am

[fossil cedar]

Suppose

[tardy knoll]

Now days you can even have your old house number set to forward to your cell number .. perfect for elderly people that are attached to the house phone. My grandma has both and it's ridiculous, she can't ever remember where either one is so say the cell rings, she goes looking for it ..then it stops ringing before she finds it...then the house phone rings from elsewhere and switches to looking for that. When I visit I always suggest having the house line forwarded to the cell and just having the cell but no one listens to me

[little osprey]

@earnest olive

[earnest olive]

why are you posting this in build chat lol

[little osprey]

ban this kid

[earnest olive]

done

next time post it in general chat or dms though

[little osprey]

i was already typing lol

is windows 11 bad on ryzen 5600g

[earnest olive]

no

win11 performance issues with ryzen were fixed long ago

[little osprey]

ok

[serene hedge]

hey pato

can you make me a $550 budget build?

i'll compare it to mine and i'll see if i'll use it

[mossy venture]

Do you need a dgpu to fit in?

Pato made me one earlier for a friend

If you dont, here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HFVWYg courtesy of pato

[serene hedge]

a what?

oh wait

do you mean dedicate gpu DGPU

[mossy venture]

Dedicated gpu or is igpu enough

[serene hedge]

so for the psu is my 750W bronze worse than the 650W gold?

[mossy venture]

The one in that is an a tier I think

[serene hedge]

want to see mine?

[mossy venture]

If you already have a psu and it isn't below a c tier I wouldn't worry

[serene hedge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GXLYPV

[serene hedge]

well, idk if it is or not

it's a corsair psu

750W

[mossy venture]

What's the name

[serene hedge]

CX750M

[mossy venture]

That's a b tier iirc, I'd check the list but I start work soon

[serene hedge]

that did not work

[earnest olive]

that psu has coil whine issues

also you can do much better for $550 if you just buy a used gpu

[serene hedge]

uh, i tried posting a pci of it and that happened LOL

[earnest olive]

at least double the performance

[mossy venture]

Oh crap

That's the wrong build

One second

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HFVWYg

There we go

Sorry

That's courtesy of pato

[earnest olive]

why 10400 igpu

[mossy venture]

It's cheaper than 10400f

[earnest olive]

but

then you have to use uhd 630

[serene hedge]

i was going to just get a 5600g

[earnest olive]

used gtx 970 > 5600g

[serene hedge]

i can't afford a new gpu lol

[earnest olive]

...did I not just say used

[serene hedge]

oh yeah

iv'e been looking on ebay and i can't find a 970 lol

[serene hedge]

$200 used

[earnest olive]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap

[serene hedge]

hey

i just found a 1650

super 4gb

for 6 cents

[mossy venture]

Lol

[earnest olive]

I've gotten GTX 970s for $135

just put in some effort

did a $400 build with an i7-6700K + gtx 970 + 16gb 3200c14 that would run circles around a 5600g

[serene hedge]

ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 OC 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

is that good for $61

That's a scam

[mossy venture]

I forget, is 10100 4 core or 2

[serene hedge]

^

[viral ore]

is 4/8

[mossy venture]

Thought so, ty

[viral ore]

i used one for a friends build a year or so ago

[earnest olive]

anyone remember the i3-7350K

lmao

[viral ore]

yes actually

and then the 9350K

[earnest olive]

overclockable dual core requiring an expensive z270 mobo

[mossy venture]

My friends doing a budget build for a deaf friend, 10100f is available used for 65$

Leaves more room for gpu

[viral ore]

it was literally built for hwbot points

[earnest olive]

lol

true

I've heard at least one story of a real user being suckered into buying it by a best buy salesman tho

[serene hedge]

GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB

[earnest olive]

"oh yeah you just need single core performance for games"

[serene hedge]

for $61

[earnest olive]

the salesman sold him a 7350K + Z270

he got it to 4.9ghz

and games were still unplayable

ayy lmao

[mossy venture]

Wouldn't spend more than 75$ on a 2gb card, 4gb is barely enough right now, let alone 2gb

[worn wave]

Also sounds like a scam

Or it is broken

[serene hedge]

come on!

[earnest olive]

I mean the 5600g is limited to 2gb

1050 2gb still smokes a 5600g

[serene hedge]

also what is hardware swap?

[fossil cedar]

reddit page

[worn wave]

It is a subreddit for buying and selling computer hardware

[little osprey]

Prepare to have your post deleted for making 1 tiny formatting error

[serene hedge]

so i could sell an old PC there?

[worn wave]

Sure, just read the rules

[little osprey]

The 300 lines of rules

😔

[earnest olive]

it's really not that hard

[little osprey]

Yea I'm just dumb

[midnight mountain]

I'm new to building PCs but to be honest I've been wanting to build a pink sakura cooler master pc, yet I don't really know the best hardware parts. The first thing I wanna know is what the heck a PCI Riser is. Not familiar with that.

[little osprey]

It has arrived @fossil cedar

It looks like the 5000d

[autumn wolf]

because the 5000d is based off the 4000d, just bigger

[little osprey]

Ok

lol

[gritty rover]

Do you have link to it

[little osprey]

to what

[gritty rover]

The case

[little osprey]

why

[gritty rover]

It looks nice

[tardy knoll]

How often do these sales in Newegg happen? Is it all the time and just the appearance of pressure or was there some big sale event going on? Shows the PC I want goes from $1450 back to 1699 in 9 hours... I need more time than that honestly. Without making a risky move

[gritty rover]

Sorry, I just wanted to see it bit more

[little osprey]

corshair 4000d airflow amazon

[gritty rover]

Ohhh okay

Thanks

[little osprey]

on my phone

so i dont wanna link it

[gritty rover]

Ohhh okie

I found it

[mossy venture]

You were looking for a 3060 ti build?

[tardy knoll]

Yes.

[mossy venture]

Here's one https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali565/p/N82E16883360195?Item=N82E16883360195&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-83-360-195-_-01292022

[tardy knoll]

And the build I was looking at with 10th gen and 512gb for 1450... If you switch the CPU to 11th gen and then 1TB SSD its the same exact price but the sale ends in 9 hours.

[mossy venture]

Im personally not a fan of the case, but I say functionality over looks

[tardy knoll]

I know what I want. It's that it says the sale ends in 9 hours and goes back to 1699$

[mossy venture]

Ahhh

I see

I thought the sale already ended

[tardy knoll]

You just linked the 10th gen one

[desert gulch]

You're correct, you are a person, not a fan installed in the case. Very punny

[mossy venture]

There's normally one ABS build on sale every day, but whether it's a 2060, 3060, 3070, 3060 ti, etc is random

[tardy knoll]

I'm going thru my disc golf discs back up stock to sell some stuff

[tardy knoll]

So need to jump on this one if that's what I want.

[mossy venture]

Yeah, there will eventually be a similar sale though, but whether that's tommorow or in two months I can't say

[tardy knoll]

The 11th gen and 1tb SSD is marked down to same exact price as 10th gen with 512gb.

[tardy knoll]

Yea it's tricky lol

I'ma sell some disc golf stuff that should help me do the zip pay in 4 deal I think..

[wide sparrow]

Hhm

[desert gulch]

Hmmmmmmm 🤔

[tardy knoll]

Got it figured out per their chat thing. I should be good to go on Monday, hopefully lol.

@worn wave GPU power on the end still looks way better. 🤘

[little osprey]

Why

[strong raft]

I meant if it's gonna be on the ground, but people do casters so it's easier to move. Disregard perhaps.

[little osprey]

witch one should i get

ima enter for two of them

what one

[mossy venture]

enter for all of them, more chances

why enter for only 2

[little osprey]

i dont want one thats bad at cooling

[mossy venture]

its a 3050, as long as your case and airflow isnt terrible itll be fine

[little osprey]

ok

i shouldint get the asus or zotac one huh

[mossy venture]

why

idk the msrps

as long as its msrp is under 300, go for them

[little osprey]

isnt zotac notorious for bad cooling and the asus is single fan

[mossy venture]

ah, single fans yeah avoid those

forgot about those :p

[little osprey]

and the evga gets hot

[mossy venture]

i doubt it

[little osprey]

reviews say so

[mossy venture]

what reviews

[little osprey]

gamer nexus

is zotac bad at cooling

?

[mossy venture]

model over brand

and as i said, any 250$ 3050 card is worth going for

even if its bad cooling you can replace thermal pads or just get a good case with good airflow

[strong raft]

Unless we see a disassembly of each card, I'd aim for the evga on warranty alone. Of course skip the single fan models also. The 3 we see earlier, bet their cooling is close enough overall unless 1 of them is built weird.

[little osprey]

ok

[stoic island]

I don't think GN said the EVGA 3050 was too hot...?

[little osprey]

i think he did

but idk

[stoic island]

I don't think he did, but they also got sent a version with a higher PL vbios that was supposed to be a different model

[little osprey]

ohhhhhh

[stoic island]

But I still don't remember GN saying its too hot

[little osprey]

does the zotac one get hot?

[stoic island]

It's a 3050, thermals are probably not going to be an issue

[little osprey]

ok

[obsidian wigeon]

you can get any 3050

[strong raft]

Seems like the main one to skip is only the Gigabyte or Palit. A normal 3050 is only 150ish TDP.

[obsidian wigeon]

like a single fan is even fine

[earnest olive]

damn ive updated my personal part list and am now realizing how much money i've blown on this pc lol

oof

still a lot lower than it's technically worth but still a lot of money

[strong raft]

It often be like that.

[earnest olive]

my setup is easily worth over 4k

but i'm at $2900 now

time to calculate the total price if i paid retail for everything

considering the gpu is 2500 msrp

this is going to be an eyewatering number

[autumn wolf]

ive spent too much money on my setup

[earnest olive]

turns out i way underestimated how much my setup is worth

with everything at msrp

$5354.19

damn, i got almost 50% off in total then

not bad

setup twins too???

close enough

almost same

we really are twinning in everything

i'm at $2900.89 including everything

pog

[formal girder]

Ik if my setup went based off current market pricing then it would slam over $23K only because full haptic setup for vr is expensive

[little osprey]

can anyone help me out please?
my friend got a gaming laptop, and she wanna know if its powerful enough to run a monitor, a keyboard, etc
and like, if its good enough to play most of the games existing out there
please ping me or dm me if you are free to help ^^

[fossil cedar]

As long as it has a port for a 2nd monitor, hdmi or usb c with display port capabilities you can use a 2nd monitor, keyboard etc are just usb so of course , weather it's good enough for games will depend on the specs and what games and what they consider playable

[little osprey]

alright, thank you so much ^^

[fossil cedar]

Np

[vague oracle]

Everything at MSRP for me is about the same too

[urban light]

Hey so I’m trying to sell the lian li pcmr edition case and I can’t find a price anywhere to sell it at

[hollow fern]

The sad thing is that somebody like me will never achieve something like that.

[formal girder]

Well actually you can but it won't always be immediate just takes time and a lot of effort to save

[viral ore]

i paid like 4600 in total for my whole setup lol

ion even know what its worth, prolly not what i paid haha

nah, my stuff just spensive

yeah thats including headphones and dac

and 600 dollar keeb O_O

think it was closer to 550 actually dont remember

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q6hhht

nah keeb was only 460

phew i feel better about that now

also whole setup was only 4200 pogger

cheaper the better

[frank stirrup]

Sassy

hi

[viral ore]

hi

Rawr

[frank stirrup]

i thought this was special channel

[viral ore]

is not

[woeful storm]

Sassy build is pretty up there rommy what's your build looking like?

[frank stirrup]

but pato bought cold war too

pogger

we peer pressured him

[viral ore]

much pogger

yay

[fossil cedar]

Why 2 cases lol

[frank stirrup]

and rommy threatened to go to wallmart to pick up a pew pew

[viral ore]

its the phanteks vertical mount

[frank stirrup]

my build is the best

no one else comes close

/s

i think sassy has seen how ghetto my setup is

[woeful storm]

Bro don't even try to flex on my 6500 xt it will send your gpu to the shadow realm

[frank stirrup]

have you seen my psu shroud and my webcam?

my webcam mount as well?

PAINTED PAPER

smh

respec the hard work

[woeful storm]

His camera is a 2009 Nokia ducked taped to a USB

[frank stirrup]

bro its literally 2 cloth pins i slap onto my phone to make it stay upright

its beyond jank

[woeful storm]

Bro my 6500xt will nibble on you're 3090 then what huh

[frank stirrup]

my rx580 kills ur 6500xt dead as well

[woeful storm]

That 4gb vs 24 got nothin

[frank stirrup]

vram doesnt mean perf

[woeful storm]

Make you so uncomfortable your 3090 leaves

6500 xt scootes closer

[formal girder]

Ngl I'm scared to see what your setup looks like now

[woeful storm]

Lmao

[fossil cedar]

Ahhh

[woeful storm]

So I have my build finalized you lads down to judge it? 🙃

And rommy is a pc mcgiver

XD

dies

[fossil cedar]

Just as long as the 6500xt isn't running gen 3 i won't absolutely destroy you

[fossil cedar]

Footage of amd turning 6600 into 6500xt?

[woeful storm]

Lol https://pcpartpicker.com/list/snPrxs

[fossil cedar]

D15s and 6500xt are my only gripes with that

[woeful storm]

The 6500xt I got for 200 on release its just a filler as you can tell by the psu <3

And the d15 was a tough choice I wanted an AIO but every review I'd read said they go out in 6 months to a year as to where air coolers typically last the same but you can just swap a fan or so

Idk what I'm doing with my life when it comes to cpu cooling

[frank stirrup]

mine?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah that's inaccurate even the crappy ones last longer than that

[woeful storm]

Any solid suggestions for a 360 AIO AM4 socket? I heard artic liquid freezer ii is good?

It's probably the only AIO I found where the most recent reviews isn't 3 to 5 people saying how it's failing

[formal girder]

Yes

[vague oracle]

It’s the best performing/value AIO

I use it on my 5900x and my load temps are around 55C

[woeful storm]

Much appreciated I really couldn't find a better one ill probably go that way then and save a bit on fans

[vague oracle]

It comes with Arctic P12s which are the some of the best performing fans

You can get slightly better but you need to spend a lot lot more

[woeful storm]

I updated the build list to have the liquid freezer should make the case look better as well the noctuas are chunk

[frank stirrup]

lmfao

[fossil cedar]

Yes, i mean d15 is fine, if you have d15s tho I'd pop an arctic p12 on the other side instead of just the middle but the d15 is probably fine since you have it

[woeful storm]

I dont have that part yet :) I updated the list to the artic liquidfreezer ii 360

I'm hoping with this setup though in the future I can just get a 3070 or 3080, or a 6800 and pop it in and then the build should actually be solid

[fossil cedar]

Oh nice

[little osprey]

same here brother, same here 😔

my fallout 4 install would benefit from a gpu upgrade the most lol

[woeful storm]

Itll probs take me 4 months or so to get a better gpu anyways so I'm not to worried about it the 6500xt will play any game just maybe not at high settings wich I'll be using my old TV as a temp monitor don't need super high graphics xD. And I don't play anything competitive mostly rpgs

I mean I guess I want to get into halo infinite but I don't need it to look good to do headshots and throw grenades

[toxic wraith]

Guys is the ASUS Prime B450M-A good for a build with no rgb?

[fresh stag]

what are the best websites for pre-builts?

[worn wave]

Newegg

Amazon or Best Buy sometimes, but usually your best luck will be with Newegg

[fossil cedar]

I would not be buying a b450 in 2022, what country and what cpu are you doing?

Hp can also have some decent deals on their site

[long rock]

I got screwed on a pre built many years ago and don’t want to touch another one lol

[warm brook]

Is there such a thing as an argb extension with a 90 degree connection?

My only argb header on my mobo is blocked by my monster truck gpu -__-

[potent portal]

https://www.performance-pcs.com/wire-management/connectors/rgb-12v-led-light-strip-4-pin-male-female-90-degree-angled-connector.html

Argb is the same but with one less pin, so you can just bend off the one you don't need

[humble hearth]

Hello , i want to to upgrade my pc and for now i bought a EK-AIO Basic 360 and an B550 AORUS Pro AC with an Ryzen 7 5800x and an Fractal Design - DEFINE 7 XL and i want to have a ram to go with my AIO. I was looking for a patriot viper 3600 or an patriot 4 blackout 3600, because the price is between 150euro and 130euro. Any recommendations?

[potent portal]

What country?

[humble hearth]

im from france

[potent portal]

16gb or 32gb?

[humble hearth]

32

2x16 both

[potent portal]

You'd probably need to spend a little more to get 32gb worth getting. The cheaper ones have bad latency.

Is that a good gpu for the 5600?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah it's fine, price is terrible tho

[humble hearth]

if i buy a 32gb ballistic 3200 kit , can i overclock for more performance?

[fossil cedar]

yes

[warm brook]

thanks !

[warm brook]

But argb is 5 volt and not 12 ?

[potent portal]

True. But metal and wires don't care what voltage is running through it.

[little osprey]

Until it melts

[humble hearth]

what m.2 is the best to take? : Samsung 980 PRO vs WD_BLACK SN850 vs PNY XLR8 CS3140 (all have 1t)

[stoic island]

Any pcie 4.0 drives with 176l being options? Like atom 50 or s70 blade or mp600 pro xt or kc3000 or firecuda 530

[stoic island]

Also, what are the prices on those for you, what's your budget, and your use case?

[humble hearth]

because for me the pny is 155 euro the wd is 180euro and the samsung is 180euro

[cold imp]

is there anything i should change in this general use build for email, browsing, and other small tasks?
large storage for reasons

[runic flare]

My monitors randomly disconnect whilst my PC is running without my touching anything, has been happening ever since I got my PC but I just ignored it, does it mean I have a faulty GPU or can this be fixed?

For them to work again I have to force restart pc

[cold imp]

i was thinking about changing the mobo but i don't know enough about mobos to make an educated decision

and i know lpx isn't the greatest ram but for menial tasks i figured it should be fine and shipping times on the neo forzas seem to be a little more than what i'm looking for

[mossy venture]

ill take a shot, one second

the 10105 is cheaper atm

afaik the msi b560 a pro is fine for an i3, but im not sure if theres any other features its missing that you might want to utilize

im not the brightest when it comes to mobos either :p\

[cold imp]

also quick question

[mossy venture]

?

[cold imp]

the intel integrated graphics wont like

choke and die if im watching yt on 1440p

right

[mossy venture]

i mean, its youtube

i doubt it

[cold imp]

ok

ty

[mossy venture]

sips plays league on high settings with intel uhd 730

[cold imp]

lmao

[mossy venture]

you could wait for a second opinion but i highly doubt it

heres one mobo-less https://pcpartpicker.com/list/byDLrD

case, could go cheaper

not like your temps are going to be crazy

and unless youre ocing your ram the one i put in there should be fine

idk if 10100 can oc on b560, i know 10th gen i5s can

and the psu could go cheaper but i wouldnt cheap out on a 35$ psu

i had a bad experience with a cheaped out on psu recently

wouldnt reccomend

[cold imp]

so i was reading amazon and i read something about 10100 and ddr3 or something

[desert gulch]

not related

[cold imp]

ok

[desert gulch]

idk why someone would discuss that

10100 is a ddr4 thing

[cold imp]

ok

[mossy venture]

also

do you plan on adding a gpu later?

[cold imp]

probably not

this build is meant to be like an old people pc

[mossy venture]

ahh

[tardy knoll]

What do y'all think about the M27Q

[mossy venture]

its good

[tardy knoll]

And their customer service

Alot in here recommend it, but the reviews I'm reading make it sound risky. Like you might get a properly working great monitor for a good price..or might have to deal with their customer service that apparently isn't great at all

[mossy venture]

m27q best price/perf 1440p monitor

[tardy knoll]

It's not just about price though in some cases.

[cold imp]

haven't heard many qc issues with the m27q

[tardy knoll]

I already placed the order for a pair a little earlier but I'm second guessing myself on not going with a different brand. I'm no expert with this stuff so don't wanna put myself in a bad spot

[bleak ether]

Anybody on that could help?. Got new build finally, however not booting. Red CPU light comes on, shuts off, then DRAM light comes on and stays on. Strix B660-A mobo, 12400, 4 sticks ripjaws 3600/CL16.. RAM has been reinserted multiple times, CPU remounted as well.

[tardy knoll]

@mossy venture what would be a brand with better CS. Though I'm not sure the return policy wouldn't be solid thru Amazon?

[mossy venture]

?

wdym

whats cs

[tardy knoll]

Customer service. People say it's not good for Gigabyte. People in here are saying that so I'd assume it's true

[mossy venture]

also itll still have a warrantee with gigabyte

[tardy knoll]

And could I not go with curved and still have same features? Alot say they don't like curved, it distorts lines etc. But Ive used them at work and gotten used to them nothing is curved for me it all looks straight. So I think I want to stick with curved. But also want this IPS feature etc y'all are recommending

[cold imp]

rtings.com is your home

[mossy venture]

sorry stepped away for a moment

i personallty dont have experience with gigabytes rma service, so i cant speak on that

i also dont really know much about monitors other than a few specific models, so tbh id rather let someone else help you then give you false info

[tardy knoll]

All good. There's so many options. I'm sure the M27Q is legit. Just with my experience level etc I'd rather pay a little more for better customer service etc. And ideally curved

[cold imp]

rtings

[mossy venture]

are you set on 1080p?

[tardy knoll]

1440p is what's been suggested. Going with the 3060ti build

[mossy venture]

i run 1080p on 3060 ti, either works

[tardy knoll]

I'm not necessarily stuck on 27" monitors though.

[mossy venture]

as long as it aint 4k, it doesnt matter lol

[tardy knoll]

Thats why it was suggested mainly. For the 27" size I guess

[mossy venture]

could take a look at i believe m241 by msi?

i think thats the name?

[tardy knoll]

There's a g241

But that's under budget

[mossy venture]

i think theres two

ones 1080p ones 1440p

[tardy knoll]

I see it

What were the 3 options people said there are and that IPS is preferred? TN and one other

As I don't see that listed in alot of descriptions

I know I'm bugging the crap out of some in here with these noob questions but I want to make the right choice for my needs. The Samsung ones I was looking at seemed good enough for me, but I have no clue if it was IPS or what

[mossy venture]

we all start somewhere

ive asked a lot of dumb questions recently lol

[tardy knoll]

I hate to push back on some people but I truly think the curved screen hate is a matter of opinion. And some people literally take a few weeks to see straight lines... It was a non issue for me

[mossy venture]

the good part is youre ready to learn instead of ignore the advice you ask for like some

[tardy knoll]

Or they think it's not worth the money etc. I'm still taking it into consideration and I read further into it when someone said they disliked it for autocad. I personally love my work ones and never thought twice about it so idk overall what to think honestly lol.

[mossy venture]

nah some people will start to lecture us lol

[tardy knoll]

It was IPS, VA or TN I think someone said. IPS is apparently the more preferred. If I can't get that in a curved monitor without breaking the bank I may stick with the Samsung ones I had picked out

What are the best graphics the 3060ti could run I guess is worth asking? I suppose I want to make sure I get a monitor that won't hold it back. Originally the 1440p was suggested because I was going with 27" screens as that's what I have at work. But I see no need to not explore all my options. Maybe one nice ultra wide could work

[mossy venture]

3060 ti can run most, if not all games currently out max settings 1440p

[tardy knoll]

Which is solid still for now days I'd assume

[mossy venture]

itll hold up well at 1440p for a good while

[tardy knoll]

1080 was all the hype the last time I was current on tech lol

4k been out a while but doesn't seem many truly achieve it

[mossy venture]

i have a 1080p 165hz for my main monitor and then a 1440p 75 hz for gaming when idc about fram rate

[tardy knoll]

So how much are people spending to actually game in 4k lol

[mossy venture]

a lot

first off i wouldnt do it with anything less than a 3070, and even a 3070 is pushing it

i think the cheapest 4k high refresh rate monitor is 600$

[tardy knoll]

What's the difference in 3440×1440 and 2560×1440?

[mossy venture]

screen size

[tardy knoll]

Ohh ok that was actually my guess

So don't some say going above 27" you want to go to 4k for like 32 and 34"?

[little osprey]

4k gaming became more attainable when pascal released imo

heck, i can still play some games at 4k with my 1070

[mossy venture]

depending on how far away the monitor is, 32inch can be fine on 1440p

[tardy knoll]

I'm just trying to see what my suitable options are for that build. I don't think I can get a better prebuilt for that price and that's enough for my first build at 1450$ for a 1699$ build

[tardy knoll]

Hm. Some people crapped all over the idea of 1080 on anything bigger than like a 24"

With high up roles too

[mossy venture]

i wouldnt do 27inch on 1080p

my 22.5 on 1080p is nice, 24in is decent

[tardy knoll]

And said need 1440 for 27". Then that it wouldn't look right on other screens. I'm not sure id notice the differences if I'm honest.

[mossy venture]

i went from 1050p on 22.5in to 1080 on one so, i dont have much to compare lol

[little osprey]

do i install my case fans or mobo firstr

[tardy knoll]

So we agree 1440p is probably the best option for my 3060ti build

[mossy venture]

if you want 27in, yes

[little osprey]

Yea i'd go for 1440p

[tardy knoll]

Well as I said I'm not stuck on 27"

I'd like whatever will provide best experience. And I personally like curved screens they're easier on my eyes.

[little osprey]

You just get optimal ppi with a 27 inch

[tardy knoll]

How much would it be to step from a 3060ti to a 3070 that would put it up to near 4k level?

[tardy knoll]

What's that mean?

[little osprey]

pixels per square inch

[mossy venture]

3070 better for 1440p

its possible for 4k but not exactly recommended

[little osprey]

it depends what game really

[mossy venture]

especially if you want it to last 4 years for gaming

[little osprey]

id say 3070 can handle 4k in most recent game without much issue

[mossy venture]

recent games yeah

[tardy knoll]

How much is a 3070 in comparison to 3060ti?

[mossy venture]

not so much upcoming games

its about 10% better than 3060 ti in most games

[tardy knoll]

Ok. So seems that's the best option for the price range

I'll stick with the 3060ti. Idk enough anyhow I'm probably getting way more than I'll know how to appreciate. Now to decide on monitors

[little osprey]

do you guys have a hwbot profile?

[worn wave]

I just made one today

[little osprey]

oooo nice! have you made an submissions

[worn wave]

Not yet

[little osprey]

what do you plan on doing for your first one?

[worn wave]

No clue

[little osprey]

hmm, what hardware do you have?

[worn wave]

12900K

[little osprey]

is that in your personal system?

[worn wave]

I am planning on getting a water chiller for doing some OCing

Yes

[little osprey]

what board?

[worn wave]

Z690 Edge WIFi

[little osprey]

nice

[worn wave]

Would have gotten a Hero but I was too lazy to wait for DDR5

[little osprey]

fair enough lol

[worn wave]

Also good thing I did not because of the problem with them

[little osprey]

the only sub-ambient OCing ive done so far has been with a ice bucket setup

it's kinda funky but really fun

[fringe flicker]

someone help me pick out parts

[worn wave]

Do you already have a GPU? If not it usually is suggested to just buy a pre-built, like an ABS from Newegg for example.

[fringe flicker]

i dont but i have 3k to work with

but i dont want to use all of it

but if i have to i will

[gritty rover]

Hmmm

Which gpu are you going for

And what cpu

[fringe flicker]

i dont really have on in mind i just want to build one that would preform good and look food

[gritty rover]

Hmmm

[fringe flicker]

the case i want is a 011

o11

and ima get a kraken z73

[gritty rover]

Evga was doing the diy configurator thing where you can get a gpu and get other parts

Im not sure if you’d want to go for a 3080/ti since you said you have 3k

Intel or Ryzen?

[fringe flicker]

ryzen

[gritty rover]

7 or 9?

[fringe flicker]

i want to get a 3070

with 3 fans

[gritty rover]

Ohhh okay

[fringe flicker]

i was thinking a ryzen 5 5600x

but i could go for a ryzen 7

[gritty rover]

Go for ryzen 7 probably

[fringe flicker]

ok

ima go on new egg and pick out everthing to see how much it will be

[gritty rover]

^

Good luck

I think they’re having a sale?

Should be able to find some good stuff

[fringe flicker]

also what are two good monitors that i should get i want one thats 100hz or lower and one 17hz or lower

[gritty rover]

:0

Usually people go for higher hz

I thouhht

[fringe flicker]

like how much

240hz

[gritty rover]

17hz is lower than hz in a tv

Average hz is 60

[fringe flicker]

ya thats for my second monitor but then i need one for gaming

[gritty rover]

140-165hz are the most common ones I’ve seen but I’ve also seen 240hz

60hz should be bare minimum for gaming, I wouldn’t go any lower than that

[little osprey]

get gigabyte m27q

[strong raft]

Intel 4th gen (ie; 4770) was pretty much last gen to use ddr3 in desktops, just so ya know.

[stable tinsel]

What should I get
Msi b450 tomahawk max II or gigabyte b450 aorus pro wifi?

[strong raft]

Remember for at least a month or more you'd deal with Anazon instead.

[mossy venture]

5600x more than enough for 3070

And don't use newegg for that

Pcpartpicker is better

[mossy venture]

I thought 6th gen was?

Didn't it use both?

[little osprey]

no

really mediocre overall

go get an EK nucleus vision

o11 isnt good either

it needs 6 fans to even have respectable performance

[little osprey]

S2721DGF

[little osprey]

unless you already have an AMD board dont go with ryzen

12700K/12600K are so much better

even the 12400 is just as good or better than the 5600x

and is $100 cheaper

[mossy venture]

I second this

And so do most people here

12600k=5800x but cheaper

12400f=5600x but cheaper

12700k=5900x but cheaper

As for 12900k, I have no clue what the price is rn

[gritty rover]

Ohhh yeah

I think I saw 12900k for somewhere around $500

Newegg

Oh yeah, I got a 3060 from the evga diy kit thing :> now I just have to get the rest of my parts, I’ll be able to build it next month

[mossy venture]

Alr, are you custom building or do you want a pre built

[arctic jungle]

custom, i just want a list

i alr have my cpu mobo and ram tho

i just need - everything else

[mossy venture]

Oh please don't tell me you bought ryzen for msrp currently

Worse than intel price/perf rn

[arctic jungle]

nah i bought it a while ago

threadripper 3970x

[mossy venture]

Alr, what is it

Ahhhh

What's the point of the pc

I'm guessing not gaming

[arctic jungle]

i alr have a quadro, but I want an rtx card for gaming

[mossy venture]

Ah

[arctic jungle]

also just it to look cool

non of that rgb bs

just white lights

[mossy venture]

I'm guessing you have cooler too

[arctic jungle]

mhm

[mossy venture]

White lights

Hmmm

[arctic jungle]

just like the corsair rgb ones are fine, i'll keep them on white

[mossy venture]

So you need storage, case, psu, gpu?

[arctic jungle]

yeah everything except cooling ram mobo and cpuu

:)

[mossy venture]

Mmm

I'm thinking

[arctic jungle]

just ping me when you have a list, thanks

[mossy venture]

For gpu definitely either 3070, 3080, 6800/xt

[arctic jungle]

nvidia

[mossy venture]

Just depends on price you can get them for

[arctic jungle]

price rlly isnt a concern

[mossy venture]

Other than that I'm a bit lost here honestly

I have no clue what to do for white lights, might he better to wait for someone else

P31 2tb is a solid ssd that's on sale as well

[arctic jungle]

just rgb and keep it white? i just want smth i can turn on and off to illuminate it

[mossy venture]

I'm guessing you're looking for an 850-1000w psu as well

[arctic jungle]

whats the best performance ssd I can get

[mossy venture]

I mean

[arctic jungle]

price really isnt an object, as long as its somewhat reasonable

[mossy venture]

Does money literally not matter to you

Alr

So within reason

[arctic jungle]

as long as im not paying way through the roof for something idrc

like I wouldn't spend more than 200-250 on a psu, but I dont mind pumping out way more on a gpu

[mossy venture]

I think the 2tb p31 is a decent choice atm

[arctic jungle]

i'll probably grab an rtx 3080 from a friend's dad, he has access to the employer shop so i never rlly worry about cards being overpriced or whatever

[mossy venture]

Psu, it's something agf I think i was told is a good 850 or 1000w psu by pato

Leadex superflower as well

[arctic jungle]

i'll just take whatever's reliable and clean

[mossy venture]

I think this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8z7p99/super-flower-leadex-iii-gold-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-sf-850f14hg

Might need a 1000w though

[arctic jungle]

again, if you could just put it all in a list with a ping i'll take a look soon

thanks sm

appreciate it

i have to get to work now, but i'll ttyl, yeah?

[mossy venture]

Yeah I'll cya

[jagged hill]

has anyone built an emulation box here?

meant for that, rather than native high-end pc games

i was considering putting an x86 scb in my fightstick

[little osprey]

@arctic jungle what gpu are cpu are you running?

well want to run in your new build

[mossy venture]

3770wx

And going to get a 3080

They have mobo, cpu, cooler, and ram

[little osprey]

is he in the US

[mossy venture]

I believe so

[south cliff]

Should i get a 12600k and a new motherboard and cooler and case or should i try and save up for a 3060 ti?

[mossy venture]

Hes at work atm

[south cliff]

i have a 9600k and a rx 570

[mossy venture]

Id go for 3060 ti

9600k good enough for one

[shrewd peak]

Anyone know a different gpu i can get that will be compatible cause i cant find a 2060 super for cheap https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ty-_-/saved/#view=p3DW4D

[mossy venture]

Not too much worse than a 3600

[south cliff]

try and get a 6600xt

or like a 1660ti

[shrewd peak]

me?

[south cliff]

ye

[shrewd peak]

okay thx

[south cliff]

1660 ti is still good

also what is your price range?

[shrewd peak]

500-600$

just for the gpu

[south cliff]

yeah get a 6600xt

[shrewd peak]

Radeon RX 6600 XT?

[south cliff]

yeah

its about the same as a 2060 super

[shrewd peak]

Appreciate it

[south cliff]

its better in some games to

[shrewd peak]

Do you think i would be able to run Warzone etc?

[south cliff]

of course

you can try and snag this one up https://www.ebay.com/itm/185275058366?epid=16048631506&hash=item2b234108be:g:kIcAAOSwy2hh9iTu

[arctic jungle]

@mossy venture I think i've settled on grabbing corsair stuff

i'll probably build an ek custom loop later this year when i'm not so busy with school

[south cliff]

i would go for the 3060ti but its like 250 dollars more than basically upgrading my whole pc

[mossy venture]

Well if you're gaming

3060 ti is a bigger upgrade than 12600k

[south cliff]

true but i would have to wait till they go doen to like 600-650
down

[little osprey]

whisper M is a better choice now

since a-gf ocp is just set insanely high

it's basically nonexistent

[oak galleon]

When I try booting up my pc I get this message, “Memory over locking fail. System is boot up with default settings. Press F1 to run BIOS setup.” Can someone please help.

[stoic island]

tbh not really

[south cliff]

try and take one out

[stoic island]

140% is high, but not insanely high

[south cliff]

or take cmos out

and wait like 5 min and put it back in

[oak galleon]

CMOS? Idk that much about computers

[stoic island]

Cmos battery

There's like a small lever thing you can pull on and it'll just pop out

[south cliff]

doesent it reset bios settings?

[stoic island]

It does.

[south cliff]

thats what i thought

[south cliff]

Did it work?

[oak galleon]

I’m getting a blue screen now that shows a bunch of options

Wait I’m so confused

It just shut itself off I turned it back on and it booted I think

[south cliff]

show me

[oak galleon]

How

I can’t send pics

[south cliff]

well did it get to windows

[oak galleon]

Yea it works now

[south cliff]

yeah it was just somthing wrong in your bios

[oak galleon]

I tried something else before I pulled that thing and it worked so idk

I just turned the xmp overclock profile off for my ram

And it worked so 🤷‍♂️

[potent portal]

Isn't that what p-gm was at? Or was theirs up to 150%?

[south cliff]

what are your pc specs?

[oak galleon]

Rtx 3070, ryzen 7 3700, 16 gb of 3200 ram,

And an nzxt aio

[south cliff]

well at least it works

🙂

[oak galleon]

Ik I would’ve been so upset if it didn’t

Thank you for helping though

[south cliff]

your welcome

[worn wave]

Is it Corsair RAM by any chance?

[little osprey]

PGM's ocp is exploding

simple enough

also i think it was 140

[faint cedar]

hi, I want to upgrade but i'm on a budget, I currently have a _geforce_GT__210 gpu and am wondering if I can buy an i5 11400f to save a penny, and want to wait a bit before I buy a new gpu, or would it be un-usable?

any help appreciated

[tight sorrel]

if you want to use an igpu, then the AMD 5700G will give you better performance

intel igpus are quite bad

[faint cedar]

@tight sorrel oh I was wondering if i can take the **f **version and use my gt 210 for the time being

[tight sorrel]

sorry. I missread. doh!

sure you can use the gt 210 with an 11400f

[faint cedar]

so it won't cuase bottlenecking?
Thanks!

[tight sorrel]

well ofc it will. the gt210 is nto really meant for gaming. but yi fyou dont have a choice...

[faint cedar]

@tight sorrel yeah not for gaming(3d art), but I agree...

[potent portal]

Even the intel igpu should be way better than the 210. By many leagues.

[tight sorrel]

you think?

[potent portal]

[muted geode]

obligatory warning about varying usefulness of UserBenchmark

[potent portal]

As long as you don't use it as the sole source of info it can be ok for quick checks

[muted geode]

that's funny

IGPUs just c l a p p i n g old DGPUs now

[potent portal]

It gets worse when you compare the 5700g

But the vega graphics it uses share a name with an older model (amd and their infinite wisdom) so it's hard to find accurate data sometimes

[muted geode]

amd naming schemes just be chef's kiss sometimes

[potent portal]

Oh and rdna2 graphics are set to push the bar even further. Gaming on it shouldn't be terrible.

[muted geode]

cant wait for future IGPUs to be better than our current DGPUs

[potent portal]

Just wait for that intel 19900k igpu to beat a 3070

[muted geode]

lets go baby

[toxic wraith]

what decent motherboards are compatible with the amd 3 3100

[tight sorrel]

look for B550 chipset boards

[runic flare]

My monitors randomly disconnect whilst my PC is running without my touching anything, has been happening ever since I got my PC but I just ignored it, does it mean I have a faulty GPU or can this be fixed?

[tight sorrel]

hqve you tried using another port on your GPU?

[strong raft]

And/or cable. Worth a try.

[mossy venture]

680m with unoptimized driver was around a 1650 in leaked benches about 2 months agk

[runic flare]

Yes both my monitors do it so not a faulty cable or port

[runic flare]

^

Should I get replacement thro warranty?

[stoic island]

Yea but GN proved P-GM's issue wasn't that, it was blowing up at like 20% load, and for reference, Amp, a focus plus gold platform, has ocp at 140% too
