building-and-recc-chat

[fossil cedar]

Yeah would have saved some money on some bits but ntb

Gpu overpriced af, 12th gen awful choice for their budget, case is just random and looks suitable as an oven, power supply is good just overpriced, you forgot ram

[mossy venture]

Ssd and heatsink I'm guessing?

Wait

I put the 1tb in there not the 500

I'm making too many parts lists god this gets confusing lol

I need to start saving them

[desert gulch]

PSU too

[mossy venture]

What would you change it to?

Oh the 750w version

[desert gulch]

While the Formula is a pog modified cwt gps unit, rmx650 is cheaper

[mossy venture]

Thought I put that in there

[desert gulch]

Or even the 750

[mossy venture]

Oh is it?

[desert gulch]

But rmx 650 is 65 and modular

Which is pog

[mossy venture]

Ah alr, I'll keep that in mind for other lists

Thanks

[desert gulch]

And cx550f is there if they don't need more than 1 pcie cable

Np

[mossy venture]

I deleted that one alr since I had to make another already... so can't edit it lol

[desert gulch]

Or ig daisy chain can happen with cx550f

Just gotta realize it's only 1 port for pcie on PSU side

[mossy venture]

Isn't cx c tier?

[desert gulch]

Cxf is b

Cx is b iirc

Cxm is c

[mossy venture]

Ah

[desert gulch]

Depending on the cxm

Technically cxf is a 80+ silver too

[mossy venture]

I dont know too many psus, I just know my old was terrible and a few specific models that are good for builds

[desert gulch]

Even tho they advertise it as bronze

Yea

[fossil cedar]

500gb ssd, cheaper cooler, cheaper mobo, cheaper ram and get the 750w formula or cheaper psu

[fossil cedar]

After rebate?

[fossil cedar]

Cxf is c tier

Nvm im mistaken swore it was c

[paper magnet]

So I think this question would belong In build chat, but um is someone able to help my dumb self find a suitable replacement wifi antenna to replace the one that came with my motherboard? I accidentally broke mine today while moving my heavy pc in preparation for surgery

Mine came with my motherboard I belive. This is its link https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144214

I feel dumb for asking

[earnest olive]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082SHKT3Q

[fossil cedar]

This shows do
https://www.amazon.com/Kaunosta-Omnidirectional-Wireless-Computer-Security/dp/B092QLCKYV

Dam sippy beat me

[earnest olive]

I bought the one I linked for a prebuilt that was missing the wifi antennas

had no problem with them, worked very well connecting to a router on a different floor and maintaining good 5GHz speeds

[paper magnet]

Thanks so much

My hip gave out when carrying the pc and in an attempt to not drop it I bent the antenna against my chest and it well um, got smothered to death

[fossil cedar]

Sure it could happen to anyone, luckily they're dirt cheap

[paper magnet]

Can the computer connect via wifi with just the remaining antenna if nah? Incase it can't connect via a cord in the new location

[fossil cedar]

Yes you can

Signal might not be as good tho

[paper magnet]

Alright thanks so much

[earnest olive]

better to break a $7 antenna than the whole PC or one of your bones or something

[paper magnet]

If I break it they'll fix it tomorrow

My bones anyway

[earnest olive]

carrying heavy PCs is scary

bones usually take more than one day to heal

[paper magnet]

The fact the sides are glass scares me

[mossy venture]

When I put in my heatsink I dropped a screw driver on my motherboard three times

[paper magnet]

Ohh no

That gave me shivers

[earnest olive]

I accidentally drilled into the pcb of a 3090 and broke it

[mossy venture]

Wait that's how that happened?

[earnest olive]

yeah, the screw went too deep and drilled through some traces

[paper magnet]

Ouch

[mossy venture]

Completely different topic, but the gpu market is slowly getting better. I'm seeing a lot more 3060 tis on the market

Less 3080s tho

[potent portal]

Maybe less 3080s because they want people to pay for 12gb variant?

[mossy venture]

Prolly

[little osprey]

Does a 3070 work on a 650w g5 psu

[earnest olive]

yes

[little osprey]

Tysm

[earnest olive]

[little osprey]

gammaxx 400 enough for 12400f?

Or nah

I’m going to go with no

but just wondering

[mossy venture]

should be fine, not a very hot cpu i dont believe

[little osprey]

bet

damn this might not fit my case

[potent portal]

Which case?

[cunning bobcat]

hellooooo world......for those who remeber me......just saying thks to @fossil cedar for helping me achieve a dream....building my computer with ok-ends component

really thks XD

[little osprey]

sadly it does not fit

[little osprey]

some HP thing

[little osprey]

Woohoo! post your build in #build-pics when you finish

[cunning bobcat]

yep i just bought the parts i soo proud...a 2 years dream is finally coming to an end

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cry-crying-tears-broken-gif-15062040

[little osprey]

love to see it

[potent portal]

Cut side panel and profit from increased airflow as well

[cunning bobcat]

XD

[little osprey]

how about i just remove the side panel... lol

i have two 80mm intake and one 80mm exhaust

[earnest olive]

that's what you think

[cunning bobcat]

...............................

[earnest olive]

I started with a $1000 budget build 2 years ago and was like yeah this should last me 3-5 years

[cunning bobcat]

i know the paint isn't over yet

i just need to build it

[earnest olive]

2 years later I've done full upgrades like 4 times and now I'm sitting on a $5500 build

too much upgrade fever

[cunning bobcat]

yes...........but i've got the time XD

[grim fog]

If anyone has the time I'd appreciate some help. Putting together my new build after waiting for all the parts to come in and the computer won't turn on. The motherboard (Strix b550 f) light is on but nothing happens when I press the power button.

Triple checked that the power button connections are on the right part.

The fans don't turn on. Only thing that seems to get power is the logo light.

[stable tinsel]

motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated with a PCIe-based M.2 drive, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.

What does it mean

[stoic island]

if you use a nvme drive in that m.2 slot, some of the sata ports won't be usable

[earnest olive]

@grim fog what CPU?

[grim fog]

Tried both a 7 5800x and a 5 3600

[earnest olive]

hmm interesting

was going to suggest updating bios but 3600 should be compatible out of box

[stoic island]

Should have debug leds iirc

[earnest olive]

can you try shorting POWER SW directly instead of using the case power button?

[stoic island]

If mobo lights up, I assume it can turn on fine, but could just jump it

[earnest olive]

no sign of life except mobo lighting up sounds like it's just not turning on at all

a lot of mobos will have some lights in the off state

including mine

as long as psu is switched on

[stoic island]

Weird

Typically that wouldn't start unless it is turned on afaik

no reason to be fed power without pwr ok

[earnest olive]

it's a feature

asrock bios calls it "onboard LED in power s5" or something like that

[grim fog]

I think I tried that. It's pressing a metal bit like a screw driver onto where the power switch plug on the mobo goes, correct? Nothing happened

[earnest olive]

yeah

hmm

100% positive you have the right power sw header?

[stoic island]

No fans spin and no debug LEDs?

[grim fog]

No and no.

[earnest olive]

absolutely sounds like it's just not beginning to turn on

[grim fog]

Yeah, triple checked the manual and the board itself

[stoic island]

perhaps clear cmos just in case, and doesn't hurt seeing what happens if you turn psu off and back on again

[grim fog]

Entirely possible I was sold a dead board then. Bought it second hand so that's unfortunate but since he didn't use the shipping label Offerup provided it returned my money. I was gonna send him it back after I was reassured it worked so I guess that's convenient

[earnest olive]

these two pins, correct?

so you got it for free? even more reason to try to get it working lol

[grim fog]

Correct! The reset switch is right under it.

[grim fog]

I mean I imagine the guy is gonna message me and ask for the money but I'm not gonna send him anything if the board doesn't work. If I can get it to work then I'll pay what I owe

[earnest olive]

perhaps you could try using bios flashback to flash bios anyways, maybe he bricked the bios and decided to sell it not knowing what to do?

the fact that it's second hand opens up a couple more possibilities as to what's wrong

that included

[grim fog]

I will try that and the cmos thing Mr1111 mentioned. Never done either of those things before so I'll have to look it up lol

I appreciate the help, I'll keep yall updated

[earnest olive]

good luck!

you're a good person for wanting to return the money if it works, a lot of people would pocket it lol

[grim fog]

Thanks lol I'd feel horrible if I did that but would not be surprised if someone did that to me

[stoic island]

Prob worth clearing cmos while grabbing bios file for flashback, do check manual for flashback instructions, Asus should have a dedicated program for renaming the file.

[grim fog]

Will do!

[stoic island]

simple general clear cmos instructions, battery method is neat, but jumper can work quickly

[fossil cedar]

You're welcome

[wooden quartz]

Hello everyone I have a few questions

Is there any concerns about the pc running like this

[fossil cedar]

That's all good, 60c is perfect temp wise

[wooden quartz]

Is a 100% utilization okay

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[wooden quartz]

And I think I want to upgrade my ram and psu

This is what I’m working with

[fossil cedar]

100% utilisation just means it's using all that it can of x component, in this case the graphics card

[fossil cedar]

What cpu and ram do you have?

Because rx560 is really holding you back

[wooden quartz]

They cpu is a ryzen 5 2600 ram is 8gb hyper x

[mossy venture]

That mobo

[wooden quartz]

Well the gpu is better then the one I had in the pc it had a 1650 gtx

[mossy venture]

Why does the mobo looks so empty

[mossy venture]

1650 is better than 560

560 iirc loses to 1050

[wooden quartz]

Because it’s a omen no it was a wanna be 1650 looked up the part number the thing was so small

[mossy venture]

Doesn't matter, performance is performance

Temps were probably worse on 1650, but its still a good bit better

[wooden quartz]

It could not even play gta v

[mossy venture]

That wasn't a 1650 then, unless it was running at 100c

[wooden quartz]

No it wasn’t that what I’m saying is someone said made it say it was

[mossy venture]

What??

Did it come in the pre built?

Or did you buy it off someone

It sounds like you mean someone changed the vbios or smthn to display it as a 1650?

[wooden quartz]

Prebuilt

[mossy venture]

Then it was a 1650, omen wouldn't bios mod an old gpu to scam someone

No original manufacturer would

[wooden quartz]

Well they did

[mossy venture]

@fossil cedar can you explain this, I don't feel like arguing this so can you just give a second opinion

And if they did, why wouldn't you just rma it/return the build

[wooden quartz]

I’m not trying to argue

[mossy venture]

Neither am i

I dont feel like starting one, which is why I asked for pato to explain

[wooden quartz]

Because I bought it from Aaron’s when I was younger lol I just thought it was so cool to get a gaming pc but yet to find out it was the best idea to buy it from Arron’s

I’m not saying hp mod bios I believe Arron’s did

[mossy venture]

What's arrons

Local pc shop?

[wooden quartz]

It’s a place here in the sates where you can buy stuff in payment anything you need for a home as electronics for living rooms

If you know what Conns home get it or Rent-A-Center are very similar

Conns home good or**

[mossy venture]

Mmm

If they're not reputable it's possible

[errant fiber]

aaron's is still around?

[wooden quartz]

Yeah but I’m just trying to make a decent pc is all I know I need a better gpu but there to expensive right now

Yeah there scammers

[fossil cedar]

1650 is 2 times as good as a rx 560

[fossil cedar]

No vrm heatsink and barely any vrms

[wooden quartz]

So gpu is a 1150ti 4b according to the part number

That use to be in the pc

[fossil cedar]

1150 ti is not a gpu

1050 ti?

[wooden quartz]

This is what it looks like

[little osprey]

Could be anything honestly a lot of cards look like that

[jagged ember]

1150ti isn't a card tho yeah

[wooden quartz]

L34260-001. That’s part number

I can’t find much on it

[dense ravine]

Sounds like it’s a 1650

Not much info online but there’s a few Reddit posts where op says it’s way more powerful than a 1050ti

[wooden quartz]

Yeah but it don’t work to good lags a lot

[mossy venture]

https://appuals.com/gtx-1150-ti-or-rtx-2050-guess-well-find-out/

What

[wooden quartz]

See I’m confused is it a 1150ti or a 1650?

Is it better then what I have

[mossy venture]

The issue is 1150 ti doesn't technichally exist

Which is why we're lost

[wooden quartz]

Oh I see

[wooden quartz]

That’s really nice

[strong raft]

https://tenor.com/view/key-and-peele-messed-up-aaron-gif-9848731

[strong raft]

Matrix screensaver would match that nicely.

[earnest olive]

lol what 1150ti

[earnest olive]

what on earth is this

I thought it was a troll article but it seems like they were being serious...

[mossy venture]

Yeah thats what I'm saying

[obsidian wigeon]

That gpu is 1650

[little osprey]

My gpu 😔

[flint sapphire]

oh hey guys

im just over here looking at my 2080ti

[obsidian wigeon]

oh ye

it's an hp 1650

[earnest olive]

are you trying to flex or something

[flint sapphire]

i flexed on a 1650

it wasnt an attempt

[earnest olive]

nice 2080ti

[flint sapphire]

thanks i payed msrp

https://tenor.com/view/sips-tea-gif-10558867

[earnest olive]

and I paid 56% of msrp

literally who asked

[flint sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/narc-copium-spoon-gif-23613894

[earnest olive]

you might be the one who needs it :)

[flint sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-rogan-powerful-jre-annoyed-cannotdeal-frustrated-gif-18174869

[little osprey]

sobbing

[frank stirrup]

oh u got an upgrade?

[fossil cedar]

Pretty sure they always had one

[frank stirrup]

thought he had a 1080ti

[flint sapphire]

so, use to have a 1080 for a minute, picked up the 2080ti when my bro upgraded to a 3080ti

[fossil cedar]

[little osprey]

Better be Baja blast in there.

[vague oracle]

The new laptop finally came in

Huge difference between 75hz and 165hz

[fossil cedar]

Sheesh that was quick, did you get the gigabyte?

[vague oracle]

I went with the Asus, the 16gb of vram would make a difference

And it was only $1700 out of pocket

[potent portal]

75 to 165 is a huge jump, I agree

[vague oracle]

Now I’m trying to figure out why the hell my gpu drivers don’t want to update

[fossil cedar]

Asus probs wants you to use armory garbo crate to update them

[potent portal]

You did a clean install I hope

[vague oracle]

I already reinstalled Win10

Ahh just had to turn off the iGPU

Is there a way to get it so it automatically switches to the DGPU whenever I turn on an intensive program?

[potent portal]

It's supposed to do that by default

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok

[potent portal]

As long as all your drivers are installed it should work

[vague oracle]

Weird, it doesn’t want to use the dgpu at all

[vague oracle]

This is the first laptop where the speakers are actually good

[serene hedge]

is intel 12th gen better value than AMD

[fossil cedar]

Yes for everything but multi core where the 5950x still wins vs the 12900k

[mossy venture]

not for igpu though

[vague oracle]

What are good temps for a laptop 3080?

[fossil cedar]

Well that's not a comparison literally 0 igpu

[fossil cedar]

Yes

Under 83 preferably

[mossy venture]

i just mean comparison between 12th gen and 5000 series

[vague oracle]

Mine is sitting around 80

[mossy venture]

not 5950x and 12900k

[fossil cedar]

83 is when it will stop boosting

[vague oracle]

With no adjustment to the fan curve

[mossy venture]

if youre using igpu on anything above 12400 and its not a stop gap for the shortage, youre doing smthn wrong

[fossil cedar]

Oh well that only applies to the g cpus ehh

[fossil cedar]

Can you adjust fan curve?

[vague oracle]

I’m going to do that now

[fossil cedar]

At least you can adjust fan curve

[vague oracle]

I think I can

[fossil cedar]

If not you can always UV

[vague oracle]

Yep I can, it’s in armouryvcrate

[serene hedge]

well i talked to someone and they say that AMD is better than intel

opinion?

[mossy venture]

in current generation

for cpu performance

intel is much better than amd

12400f=5600x, but cheaper

12600k=5800x with more cores, but cheaper

12700k=5900x, but cheaper

[potent portal]

The igpu on amd is nice. Even the vega graphics on the 5600g beat the intel one by a lot, and it'll only get better with rdna2

Early leaks point to 1050-like performance on the 7000 series igpu

[mossy venture]

remembrant apus are already supposed to destroy that tho

with possible even beating 1650

[potent portal]

I'm sure it will once the drivers mature

[slim hazel]

can someone tell me if a build i made will work together ?

[potent portal]

Of course. Is it made in pcpartpicker? That's easiest

[slim hazel]

its made with newegg and i picked the part myself is it what you mean ?

[potent portal]

The newegg builder works too. I'll translate it to pcpartpicker.com so you can find the best prices. A lot of the time it's newegg with the best price but not always.

[slim hazel]

ok good thats the link to it https://newegg.io/7b2249e

[desert gulch]

Have you already bought the parts?

[slim hazel]

no didn't bought it because i don't know if it will work together

[desert gulch]

Ok

Do you have a way to get a gpu at a decent price?

[slim hazel]

not really

[desert gulch]

Hmm

I'd go 12th gen

[potent portal]

That list will technically work together but you can get better stuff that's cheaper

[slim hazel]

like what and where can i build something better and cheaper, im from canada

[grim fog]

@earnest olive @stoic island so when I tried to flash the bios, the button you press to start it immediately broke off and fell inside the board 💀💀

[mossy venture]

much cheaper for better

[earnest olive]

bruh

fell off???

[mossy venture]

is this in your budget? change gpu as needed https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7NCtJM

well i guess the right question is, whats your total budget for the pc?

[grim fog]

I'm dying laughing. The damn thing is just gone. It didn't click or anything. I just went to push it and it just plopped straight back into the board

[mossy venture]

what thing?

[grim fog]

The button to flash the bios on my strix board

[slim hazel]

my budget is max 3500$ canadian

[earnest olive]

well, good thing you didn't have to pay for it

[grim fog]

Legit.

[mossy venture]

what psu is good, 850w. bitfenix whisper isnt in canada

i know rmx is decent but i think its overpriced rn

[desert gulch]

Rmx may be good prices

Oh

Uhh

Revo df

[mossy venture]

rmx 850 is 155 cad

[desert gulch]

Hmm

Rm without the x?

[mossy venture]

d.f is worse

[potent portal]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/9XN9W4

[desert gulch]

What gpu are you putting on there

[mossy venture]

rm is 130

12600k+3080

[desert gulch]

In price?

[mossy venture]

yeah

[desert gulch]

Rip

[mossy venture]

why that ssd

mp33 1tb is 105 in canada

[potent portal]

2tb tho

One of the better priced 2tb drives there

[mossy venture]

ah alr

[desert gulch]

Ayo

Why 2 different kits of ram?

[potent portal]

Whoops forgot to delete one I guess

[slim hazel]

but isn't the I7 11700k better than the I5 12600k ?

[mossy venture]

prolly two options

[desert gulch]

No

[mossy venture]

no

12600k=5800x

[desert gulch]

12600k even beats a 11900k in some things

[mossy venture]

11700k barely beats 5600x

[potent portal]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/KzRM8r

[desert gulch]

Agf bad

[mossy venture]

if you plan on ocing id get the 360mm lf2 (barely more than 280)

[potent portal]

Like gaming

[desert gulch]

I'd change that out

[potent portal]

Since when

[mossy venture]

isnt it b tier?

[desert gulch]

Aris did some testing

Idk where they put it

I think they still have it at A

Hold up time and power Ok don't hit ATX standards

[potent portal]

A tier

[desert gulch]

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/msi-mpg-a750gf-power-supply-review/1

Here's the review/testing

[grim fog]

@earnest olive took off the cover, looks like the switch is bent backwards. Think it could still work?

[stoic island]

Sounds like RMA time

[slim hazel]

i have a question for one of you ...

[grim fog]

So the little green bios light is flashing quickly now. It miiiiiiiiiight work??

[slim hazel]

can someone build me a pc with a budget of 3500$(canadian)

[grim fog]

I gotta wait until the light turns off (if it does) and check again. Doubtful but nothing to lose

It goes back and forth from flashing more slowly and more quickly.

[earnest olive]

@grim fog try it you have nothing to lose

[stoic island]

Want a list?

[grim fog]

If it works I am not gonna send the money at this point cuz I've done enough to earn it back tbh lol I was thinking maybe I'm dumb and was doing something wrong or it's an easy fix but this dude sent me a board broken in more ways than one.

The light just turned off now. Ima try it lol

[slim hazel]

yes please

[stoic island]

What use case and do you have a GPU already?

[slim hazel]

i have nothing but i know that the video card that i would like is an rtx 3070 at least

[stoic island]

I mean what are you going to use it for?

[slim hazel]

gaming

[stoic island]

Cad GPU situation is still looking quite sad

[slim hazel]

what you mean by Cad ? like canadian ?

[stoic island]

Canadian

[slim hazel]

yes it is thats why im not sure at all

[stoic island]

Welp, let's just start from the bottom and work it up, here's a start, 2400cad, can def improve upon things, just a possibility of what you can do even with a scalped GPU
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fcsPsL

[grim fog]

Eh, nothing. I noticed one of the chips on the motherboard does get quite warm but besides that nothing besides the logo light turns on

[stoic island]

Now, how much do you care about features on Nvidia GPUs? Dlss nvenc RTX and such? For a higher end GPU, 6900xt is at a more reasonable price but also lacks some festures relative to 3080/3090

[slim hazel]

honestly would really love to have an nvidia 3070 ti or a 3080

[slim hazel]

but the one you put is good

[desert gulch]

3070ti is a hard bargain for it's value tbh

It's just a slightly faster and hotter 3070

[stoic island]

Ye

[stoic island]

It's just that 3080 is going to cost you 2000cad retail right now. A 6900xt, which performs same if not better than 3090 at 1080p, is 2100cad retail

But 6900xt doesn't have dlss rtx nvenc and such

[slim hazel]

but the one you put does the jobs

[stoic island]

I would note now that 1250cad for a 3070 is NOT a good deal, it's only in the list because it's one of the only options on pcpp as GPU prices are wack

[slim hazel]

yeah gpu price are high in canada

But thanks

[stoic island]

You're welcome, just note that everything in that list can be upgraded

could go 12600k+z690 as one step up for around 200cad

more storage is more storage if you want more

etc

[royal dagger]

rate this build and give advice https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RD6PsL

[desert gulch]

solid 4/10

[mossy venture]

I would change nearly every single part

If not all

10400, b560 pro vdh, same ram ig if you need 32gb, but 16 is enough for the parts you're working with, NEVER spend that much on any gpu below a 3060 ti, and even that's pushing it, bitfenix gold 750w is much better and not much more, ssd can stay ig but mp33 is a bit cheaper

Case is a heater

Mx330-g air is better

I didn't feel like opening pcp

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RFZHNc

[mossy venture]

Ram a bit on the expensive side

I think there's a gskill 3600c16 kit for 75 rn?

[little osprey]

Meh. Ballistix ❤️

Up to them

not like they’ve looked at it anyways

[queen dock]

hey there, i have a dell precision 5820 that was gifted to me by my friend and he told me that the nvidia graphics card (p1000) was broken and irreparable(?). I have it sitting around and not doing anything and my current pc is also in a downhill spiral. I am not too sure what to do with this 5820 so I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions on what to do, whether it be getting a new graphics card and selling it, selling individual parts, or anything like that. Not too knowledgeable in this area so let me know if clarifications are needed. Thanks :)

[frank stirrup]

what cpu does the dell have and what cpu and gpu does ur current pc have and what do you mean by its in a downhill spiral

[queen dock]

ah yea sorry about not clarifying that, here are the specs for both my pcs:
The one i am currently using (used for editing, recording, gaming) is a dell precision tower 5810:
Nvidia k620
Intel Xeon CPU E5-1630 v3 @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz
—
Broken one (has a broken p1000)
im not too sure if this is the cpu, but this is the stock one
Intel Xeon W-2223 (8.25 MB cache, 4 cores, 8 threads, 3.60 GHz to 3.90 GHz Turbo, 120 W)
—
and by downhill spiral is i’m needing it for more and more demanding work and i am in need of an upgrade

[little osprey]

a xeon you say? 👀

You're trying to upgrade your whole PC? @queen dock

[uneven gulch]

What is a good white micro atx case on amazon?

[fossil cedar]

Not really any

[uneven gulch]

well then can you put a micro atx motherboard in an atx case

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[gritty rover]

I did that

[uneven gulch]

it doesnt matter

[fossil cedar]

P300a is bleh, p360a and p400a digital

[plain grove]

I just put my m.2 in my

Anyone know why this is blinking red

[queen dock]

yes, that’s the ultimate goal. whether it be upgrading specific parts or getting an entirely new one

[uneven gulch]

Does the corsair 400d come with fans, if not does the nzxt h510 flow come with fans?

[bold prism]

can someone build me a 2.5k -3k pc on pc picker not including the gpu cause i already have it

[fossil cedar]

4000d airflow comes with 2 fans, h510 flow is overpriced and mediocre

[fossil cedar]

What use for the pc? And what gpu do you have?

No point spending that much excluding gpu for gaming anyway

[bold prism]

gaming will just be a part of it but ill be doing other work. i wanna stream and other stuff. i have a 3070 right now

[fossil cedar]

Gaming and streaming all of it?

[bold prism]

yea

[uneven gulch]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DPVYQXW/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=AEHA1AAWZIC3L&psc=1
Is this a good pc case? I saw a youtuber, his name is Zach's Tech Turf, he frequently uses this case.

[fossil cedar]

@bold prism
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dxvhqm

[fossil cedar]

Not for the price anyway, get a mx330 g (air) or p360a instead

[uneven gulch]

ok thanks

[bold prism]

@fossil cedar thank you

[uneven gulch]

one more thing sorry, does the phantecs p360a come with fans

[stoic island]

Yes

[stoic island]

If you go to the description of the case it'll tell you

[uneven gulch]

Oh ok

Ty

[fossil cedar]

You're welcome

Sassy yo pc look like a power ranger

[uneven gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NWhZ8r
Alr so this is the completed build, the total of all the items on amazon is $990 (monitor included), a few bucks less than what it is here, just want to make sure everything is compatible and if it is worth the money? (the monitor is included btw)

[stoic island]

Would rather get ballistix for the ram, 2 dimm board is sad, would rather go with b550m-a or the b660 plus

GPU is sad but that's how things are today if

P360a price is sad now, might as well go p400a for that price

BQ isn't a great PSU, would rather go formula gold, better PSU and iirc 70$ for 750w and 60$ for 650w

SSD wise, I'd just go single mp33 1tb

[potent portal]

@viral ore Ok but why tho? That pic with no context is very confusing

[stoic island]

Yes it'll take you over 1000$ but perhaps you can take some cost off with swapping to cheaper case like mx330-g air, GPU could be forgone temporarily and grabbing 11400 for temporary iGPU, and finding a better used 200$ GPU

[mossy venture]

650 and 750 both 70 now sadly

[stoic island]

Oh well, still good

[mossy venture]

Also mx330-g air imo

Agree on the rest tho, maybe switch cpu to 10400f

[stoic island]

?

Oh ye, it's just p360a basically p400a price now

Mx330-g air for saving a bit of money

[mossy venture]

It's still a good case and comes with what, 4 fans?

[stoic island]

3

Led and not rgb though

[mossy venture]

Still fine, can always add more

True

Imo I'd rather have a better pc than one that looks better, but i know a good few people disagree on that

[viral ore]

which pic?

idk what ur talking about

[fossil cedar]

The power ranger pc

[plain grove]

So why does it blink red

Kinda weird I’ve been hearing it’s the app that’s flawed but if that’s really the case why would anyone spend 150 dollars on this trash if it can’t work properly

[viral ore]

ok but I gave context

thats why am confused

[plain grove]

?

[viral ore]

you did buy a corsair aio, after all

[fossil cedar]

Here ya go
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6qcjcb

[fossil cedar]

Yeah idk i just wanted to pull your leg

[fossil cedar]

What's blinking red?

[viral ore]

the rgb in the waterblock i think

[fossil cedar]

Ohh i seee

[stoic island]

Icue sucks and Corsair is pretty bad in general might be your answer

[potent portal]

The last one. Why the pigtail on the 24 pin connected to molex?

[viral ore]

oh, because the motherboard doesnt use a real 24 pin

needs more 12v

[potent portal]

Lolwat

[fossil cedar]

@viral ore does it have triple channel ram?

[stoic island]

Dell thing?

[viral ore]

yos

[viral ore]

hp thing

[stoic island]

Even worse eh

[fossil cedar]

What board/cpu is that lmao

[viral ore]

z400 iirc

w36xx

[potent portal]

Ah repurposed oem board, weird

[fossil cedar]

Mm i definitely know of that

[viral ore]

it was only like 20 dollars

plus a 40 dollar chip

when i bought it years ago

[fossil cedar]

Sassy imma 1 up your ram channels

[viral ore]

single channel sheeesh

[plain grove]

So what water cooler would you recommend with good rgb

[fossil cedar]

Ek rgb , Arctic liquid freezer rgb, lian li galahad (if you're not on intel 12th gen, they're not great at shipping out the brackets for that)

[plain grove]

I’m 10th gen

[earnest olive]

need some ideas to fill an empty 5.25" slot in a mini office pc

anyone know if there are 5.25" brackets for rgb fans? lmao

[fossil cedar]

Ejectable rgb fan

[earnest olive]

it just looks ugly having a hole there

I could put an actual disk drive there

but meh

I wanna put some rgb there for memes

[fossil cedar]

I mean you could probs just put a plastic thing there from a different pc?

[uneven gulch]

Nice ty

[fossil cedar]

Ik dawid bought a pc before with an infinity mirror in the 5.25" slot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fossil cedar]

Np

[uneven gulch]

What abt the asus 165hz monitor though, it is only $10 more and it has a 0.5ms response time and it is 165hz

[fossil cedar]

The msi g242 is actually better, response times of 1ms or .5ms are marketing, what you really wanna do is check the monitors review on rtings or hardware unboxed

[potent portal]

Fan controller, usb hub, monitoring lcd, liquid reservoir, plenty of things you can put there

And yes they have fans for the bay too

[visual sun]

thats only 3 ram channels tho...

all the expansion card slots tho

[jovial radish]

building a system with an matx board but only 5/6 motherboard screws will tighten

is this alright?

I mean it sort of tightens, but not really - tried 2 different mobo screws

[desert gulch]

See if you're cross threading

[jovial radish]

cross threading?

[desert gulch]

Is there a bunch of resistance while screwing them in?

[jovial radish]

no

appropriate amount except the one that won't cooperate, it only has a little bit of resistance

[desert gulch]

And the standoffs are installed in the right spots in the case?

[jovial radish]

yes

[desert gulch]

Hmm

[jovial radish]

I think the standoff that won't take the screw is the only one preinstalled

[desert gulch]

Weird

[jovial radish]

I guess the board's secure enough lol

[potent portal]

Preinstalled ones don't always need a screw, if it's one that holds the board in place. That's usually the middle one.

[jovial radish]

yeah it's in the center

I see

it was just there to guide

other weird thing though

the pack of screws that came with the case, none of them were motherboard screws

they were all psu and fan lol

had to use leftovers

[tropic olive]

These good?

[obsidian wigeon]

don't use coretemp

but if that's accurate it's good

[little osprey]

yea ive always used hwinfo but ive been seeing a lot of people suggesting coretemp recently for some reason

ive never used coretemp and im not sure i had even heard of it until a few months ago

[tropic olive]

I just left from home rn and I had restarted my Pc and I got a message saying “the system has only detected a single 4-pin connector connected for the cpu”

But it booted up normally

[desert gulch]

well d you have the 8 pin eps plugged in?

[tropic olive]

Idk what cable that one is
I had changed my fans and out a 24pin connector and for the gpu

[strong raft]

Tbh for mobos with cpu power that is 8+4, generally only need the 8pin. If some only plugged in the 4 pin instead, no good

[potent portal]

The cpu power probably came loose

[strong raft]

would be this. Just double check they're firmly inserted

[desert gulch]

Is it pushed down fully?

[tropic olive]

Yeah

I unplug it and replug it back in and it still has the same thing

[strong raft]

With no game crashes or such, of course we just ignore the splash screen message for now 😅

[fossil cedar]

Actually 1 channel just 3 slots

[frigid night]

So, I believe I will not be able to put an optical drive in the corsair 4000D airflow?

[earnest olive]

nope

use a USB dvd drive if you must

[frigid night]

I just noticed that the 6900 xt came with an install disc? So I was kinda worried for a second.

[earnest olive]

it's just drivers

you can download newer ones from the website

[frigid night]

Oh ok

[earnest olive]

driver discs are just ewaste now, not sure why they still get bundled

it's 2022 not 2007 lol

ehh they were probably ewaste in 2007 too

1987?

[frigid night]

Thats a few years before my time.

[earnest olive]

i didn't get into pcs until 2020, so i dunno

but i am pretty sure i could find drivers on the internet in 2007

[frigid night]

I'm pretty sure yeah.

I know that in 2004 when I was just learning about computers at a pc repair shop, they were having me update drivers from the web.

[earnest olive]

yeah, so no need to worry about that driver disc

you're good

[frigid night]

Alright cool. I decided idc about Ray tracing so I'm going with the 6900 xt over the 3070 ti

[earnest olive]

sounds like a plan

I have a 3090 and I don't care about ray tracing

[potent portal]

Too far, that's floppies

[tropic olive]

I don’t even know what ray tracing is

[tropic olive]

Lol

[dense ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RP4vVw

Thoughts? I already have a 500GB M.2 with Windows on it

[fossil cedar]

What's the pc for?

I'm assuming gaming?

[unreal bison]

I am so confused right now guys

So I look for Corsair Dominator Platinum 64gb in Intel version

[fossil cedar]

Ew you don't want to buy that corsairs ram is consistently overpriced and meh

[stoic island]

There is no "Intel version" of ram anyways

Ram is ram

[unreal bison]

It’s get me confused

[stoic island]

Lmao Amazon is confused

Corsair labels some of their ram "optimized for AMD" for marketing

Either way it's a horribly overpriced kit for what it is

[unreal bison]

I need dominator plat with 64gb for my z690 a motherboard

[stoic island]

Why dom plat though

[unreal bison]

=((

[stoic island]

Why not like trident z neo or royal

[unreal bison]

The way it’s look

[stoic island]

Then ballistic rgb

[unreal bison]

Can you show me

[unreal bison]

…

[stoic island]

Neo

[unreal bison]

White???

[fossil cedar]

@unreal bison assuming you actually need 64gb one of these would be a way better option
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#Z=65536002,65536004&S=3600,6400&L=30,160&sort=price&page=1&X=0,41388

[stoic island]

Royal

[fossil cedar]

Do you actually need 64gb of ram?

[unreal bison]

hmmm how $$

[serene hedge]

i have a question on crypto

[stoic island]

Ballistix

[serene hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/money-rain-expensive-gif-15011884

[stoic island]

Ballistix is the cheapest and best option of the ones listed lol

[serene hedge]

RGB RAM is very expensive

[unreal bison]

Throw me some white color skim rgb ram/64gb/brand

[fossil cedar]

What do you need 64gb of ram for?

Also yikes overpriced

[serene hedge]

some people have more than 200

why they need that, idk

[fossil cedar]

Max on ddr4 for consumer is 128gb

[serene hedge]

iv'e seen bigger

[unreal bison]

I need that amount for because I think I will use more tasks

[stoic island]

Ballistix rgb
https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164228

[serene hedge]

also how much does a 3050 do with crypto

[fossil cedar]

Like? Because you probably don't need it

[fossil cedar]

"whattomine 3050" google that

[unreal bison]

What are your recommendations

[fossil cedar]

32gb ram is probs plenty

[unreal bison]

Alright

[unreal bison]

So I got this motherboard and I need the rams that match with it

[stoic island]

Anyways, linked is 145$ 2x16gb ballistix rgb

[unreal bison]

I like 4? Instead of 2

[fossil cedar]

@unreal bison I'd do this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wB2NNc

[stoic island]

And I like spending less money

[fossil cedar]

4 is harder to run, and costs more

[stoic island]

Royal is more expensive option too

But anyways

[jagged ember]

4 is kinda pointless

[fossil cedar]

The ballistix you gave was 3000mhz tho :(

[stoic island]

Ye but reve

[unreal bison]

Hmmmm

[jagged ember]

oh wait this isn't general

[fossil cedar]

Yeah but they sound like they aren't wanna manually clock it

[stoic island]

And I think 3600c16 ballistix is like 180$

[unreal bison]

Idk guys I am just listening to your best advice

[fossil cedar]

3600 ballistix white isn't in stock

:(

[stoic island]

Mobile discord being wacky atm

[fossil cedar]

It's on backorder but here the link

https://www.adorama.com/ctbl2k16g3wa.html

[unreal bison]

Is it good for strix z690 a

[fossil cedar]

Ram is ram

So yes that's good ram

Also I'd recommend grabbing the z690 asrock steel legend instead and save 100$

[stoic island]

The end of ballistix is sad

[fossil cedar]

Yeah i grabbed another kit so I'll have 32gb for when i go 13th gen at least

[unreal bison]

But I already got that one though asus

[fossil cedar]

Fair enough, I'd personally return it

[fossil cedar]

[earnest olive]

running 64gb over 32gb can actively decrease performance in games

[unreal bison]

Yikes

I will go for Trident Z

[earnest olive]

I still run 16gb ram with a 3090 and don't see any performance issues in AAA games at 1440p 200 fps lol

[unreal bison]

I have 3080

[stoic island]

Tbf technically you can lose performance from sr 2x16gb sticks relative to Dr 2x32gb sticks

[fossil cedar]

The only time I've hit a limit with 16gb is playing COD

Only English in the server mate

[fossil cedar]

Yes but 2x16gb sr are a sin anyway so

[unreal bison]

My bad mistaken I m sorry

[fossil cedar]

Np

[stoic island]

Hey iirc micron rev j or whatever is 16gb dies

[earnest olive]

lol some guy in general chat didn't believe 16gb was enough for cod

[jagged ember]

impossible

it only runs with 1tb ram

[unreal bison]

So you guys think 32gb is enough

[earnest olive]

I had cod running at 1440p 200 fps, 5 browser tabs, discord, spotify, rgb software, teamviewer, argus monitor, all open PLUS youtube playing a 1080p60 video at the same time

[jagged ember]

yes but 16 is enough

[earnest olive]

ram usage was chilling at 13gb

game stayed at 200 fps

[jagged ember]

you're good with 16gb

[earnest olive]

and nobody is watching youtube while playing cod I hope lol

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[jagged ember]

same at one time

[stoic island]

I watch YouTube while playing tarkov so

[jagged ember]

I died watching a video

[stoic island]

Uh

[earnest olive]

👀

y'all trolling

[jagged ember]

I'm dead now

[fossil cedar]

How? When i play zombies it jumps to 16gb usage lol

[jagged ember]

it killed me

[stoic island]

I have clips of me playing tarkov with a video in the background

Even though sound matters a lot

Music is nice

[fossil cedar]

[jagged ember]

anime music as you murder the enemy

[fossil cedar]

I'm not mad I'm just disappointed

[jagged ember]

tbf no real point in trying if it's cod

[stoic island]

Literally true

[earnest olive]

skill issue

[fossil cedar]

teach me your ways

[earnest olive]

did you debloat windows

that's all i've really done lol

this is what i have with 5 browser tabs, discord, spotify, miner, and all of my background tasks

[serene hedge]

any Ethereum wallet that's not coinbasez?

[stoic island]

There's tons of wallets, unless you're asking about exchanges...?

[earnest olive]

why are you asking here when there is a #846508336543301653 channel

your question has nothing to do with pc building

[serene hedge]

kinda dead, that's why

[earnest olive]

then wait for an answer

most people don't want to talk about crypto

[olive cypress]

I managed to get "good" components for a <250€ build
Very very cheap
R5 2400g used 100€
MSI a320M a pro 43€
16gb 3200 56€
Home-made case form old Mars gaming mcx (45€)
Old Mars gaming PSU that I used for a while a time ago (40€)

+random 500gb HDD my dad gave me

[fossil cedar]

Yes it's just with cod that kills it lol

[earnest olive]

dunno what to tell you then my 16gb has no problems with zombies even with a crap ton of background stuff

[fossil cedar]

Activision prolly just hates me

Either that or you have a bigger 16gb than i do xD

[olive cypress]

Case Mars gaming mcx: 40x45x20cm

I modified it and now it is (~36)x27x20cm
A bit smaller

[serene hedge]

coinbase wanted a phone number plus they wouldn't let me close my account because i couldn't access it

lol

[fossil cedar]

Most will want a phone number

In fact anyone that doesn't i wouldn't trust

[serene hedge]

i don't have a phone number though

what do i do there

[fossil cedar]

Are you like 12?

[serene hedge]

15

if i was 12, i wouldn't be on discord right now

[fossil cedar]

How do you not have a phone number? Also because you're a minor you won't be able to sell in any trust worthy exchange

[serene hedge]

also, is there an HDMI 2.1 cable that does 144Hz

[serene hedge]

exactly

well, i was using un minable

[serene hedge]

for my new monitor i'll be getting

[potent portal]

Not like I've never lied about my age on the age gates

How else are all these 8 year olds playing cod?

[serene hedge]

what

[potent portal]

You've never lied about your age to get on sites you're not supposed to be on? Come on, they're basically asking for it lol.

[fossil cedar]

On my google account I'm probably like uhhh 8 years older than i am ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[serene hedge]

sometimes...

well, not like cod and stuff

[fossil cedar]

But yeah fhr you're probably best off using that software that lets you claim gift vouchers and doesn't ask for ID, ehhh can't remember what it's called @mossy venture knows the name

[mossy venture]

coinbase acts for ssn

[potent portal]

I know, but discord doesn't

Plenty of people under 13 breaking ToS

[mossy venture]

ah

yeah

[fossil cedar]

But yeah idk maybe you can tell fhr the name of the software you use bacca i cannot remember the name

[serene hedge]

not coinbase, noo

[mossy venture]

i thought i was in crypto chat

mb

[potent portal]

They're required to ask. Anonymous people on the blockchain is bad.

[fossil cedar]

Yeah understandable they kept asking here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fossil cedar]

Well they also report to the govt

[potent portal]

Yeah. It's the gov saying they don't want anonymous transactions. That's how money gets laundered.

[serene hedge]

can't they just send a verification code to your email?

[potent portal]

No because emails don't verify your true age/identity either

[serene hedge]

great...

[fossil cedar]

If they did you just create a gmail account with the name Your Mom or something and boom it's avoided

[potent portal]

I've got like 6 different emails lol

Maybe more

[fossil cedar]

All verification codes do is make sure that you're not a bot and the person that created the account owns the email they used

I've got 2 personal, 1 school, 1 work, and infinity if you google "10 minute mail"

[potent portal]

Ah yes, good old throwaway 10 minute mail

[serene hedge]

for coinbase, before you send them a contact us email, they send you a verification code.

[fossil cedar]

Okay

Doesn't verify your name or age tho

Just verifies you own the email tied to that account

[sullen spoke]

forget lying about age to coinbase, you need an id lol

[serene hedge]

what about others

[fossil cedar]

Any legit one will, apart from the ones that give you vouchers instead of usd

[sullen spoke]

any exchange that will convert to usd and such will require photo id

the only work around which isn't really a workaround is using a service that accepts crypto as a payment method. ex: many vpns offer payment in crypto, newegg i believe accepts some crypto

some wallets can exchange different coins built in but can have heavy fees

[serene hedge]

hey @fossil cedar, i need you to make me a list

my friend wants to go into PC gaming and his budget is $700

that looks like your about to rob a store

[fossil cedar]

1660 super upgrade, 5600g upgrade if they want and ram listed below

Can I PLEASE have your 12700k?

[fossil cedar]

Can i please have your bank balance?

[desert gulch]

0.01 being paypal'ed to you rn

[fossil cedar]

[desert gulch]

After you gib 12700k

[dense ravine]

Yes it’s for gaming

[serene hedge]

is there a way it cannot be a pre built

i mean, i really like the PC you did

[mossy venture]

not without sacraficing performance

[wraith estuary]

Good afternoon everyone. New to this site, so please forgive me if questions are repetitive? I'm really needing help with my (Father and son build) for my son and I. I was directed from the previous Newegg site to this one. General build questions. I've tried to do most of the footwork prior to showing up here. I've done all I can do via my son and I. And I've 99% taken over the build. My son is 15y/o and myself and my wife have prepared for the build. I just need help confirming parts compatibility?

Current items purchased: AMD RYZEN 9 5900X, Gigabyte Aourus 3080 Extreme, and ASUS ROG CROSS HAIR VIII DARK HERO AM4 AMD X570S SATA 6gb/AMD processor.

[mossy venture]

the motherboard will work but its still extremely overpriced

[wraith estuary]

I would like to purchase the G.Dkillz Ripjaw DDR4000 Ram, but I've been told this processor & board combination can only go up to DDR3600, If I'm even able to find that spec. Do you guys agree?

[mossy venture]

i would not recommend running anything over 3600mhz ram on a ryzen cpu

[wraith estuary]

Your reasoning? Is that what they referenced as having to "decrease" my memory or ram efficiency or something like that? Lol

[mossy venture]

because it doesnt work well on ryzen

it will cause issues

bsods, blue screens

[wraith estuary]

Got it....

So DDR3600, Or DDR3600...?

[mossy venture]

3600c16 is the best idea for you

whats up?

i prolly cant help but whats the issue

[wraith estuary]

Got it. Thank you

[mossy venture]

ah

[mossy venture]

i will always admit when someone is smarter than me lol

i know very well that many people in here know more about pcs than me

i know about speed and timings

thats about it

[left lake]

I actually just got ram and was wondering if I should go with a 4000mhz kit instead of the 3600mhz that I bought since the 4000mhz one wasn't that much more expensive, but you mentioned that 3600 would be more stable for ryzen, correct? (CPU is a ryzen 7 5800x)

[mossy venture]

4000 is only stable on ryzen apus, or intel cpus

[left lake]

alright sounds good

[mossy venture]

well

5000 series apus

3000 series apus wont handle over 3600, and thats on a good bin

[left lake]

I was actually about to buy an apu but I noticed a pretty noticable gap between 5700g and 5800x in terms of strength so I went with the latter

[mossy venture]

no reason to get 5700g over 5600g, and no reason to get an apu if youre not using the igpu

also

[left lake]

also pricing was barely any different

[mossy venture]

right now theres no reason to get a ryzen cpu unless you have a ryzen mobo already

12th gen is much better price/perf rn

12600k beats 5800x and is cheaper

[left lake]

Yeah that's why I got ryzen instead because I wouldn't have to buy a new mobo

[mossy venture]

ahh

what mobo?

[left lake]

but i agree with you

the asus tuf one or whatever the x570

[mossy venture]

yeah not bad

bit expensive of a mobo but if you already have it no reason to switch to intel

[left lake]

yeah kinda pricey but it was on sale so I just yolod

but ofc return window closed before 12th gen became mainstream so now I'm kinda stuck with it but I can't complain lol

[mossy venture]

yeah not the worst thing

not like ryzen is bad now

[serene hedge]

is there a gpu that's a bit more expensive or cheaper than the 3050

[left lake]

I wonder if there's going to be a new socket type for the next ryzen gen

[mossy venture]

yes

[left lake]

for 6000 series?

[mossy venture]

oh

thats mobile only

on am4

[left lake]

oooh

I thought there was going to be desktop 6000 but I forgot that it was actually mobile only

[mossy venture]

it does support ddr5-4800 though

[left lake]

oh dang

[mossy venture]

the fiurst 6900hs laptop is on sale, paired with a 6700

i was goign to wait for one without a gpu but a 10500h and 3050 ti laptop went on sale

was too good to pass up

730 after tax

[left lake]

I think the only new ryzen cpu that's coming with am4 is the 5800x 3d if I'm correct but idk

[mossy venture]

yep

[left lake]

the rest will be a new platform

[left lake]

that's really good pricing especially for a gaming laptop

[mossy venture]

yeah, i shoulda waited tho

the battery life will be dismal in a few years, and ill have to sell it and buy a new one for college

[left lake]

That's what I don't like about laptops is that you have to be very sure before you buy one since they can't be upgraded that much

[mossy venture]

its enough for me as of now though

[left lake]

that's good

Not for that budget and that performance

[grim fog]

@earnest olive so that same guy also sent me this. Long story short he had to use the shipping label so he sent me something random and sure as hell was random

Why is the heat sink so goddamn big

[covert vapor]

Why isn't it bigger smh

GTX 260 more like GTF 260

[earnest olive]

lol GTX 260

I'd take it

[strong raft]

Funny that's an average size tbh. The 260 was a fantastic value. I had a pny model before my 970 and both served be for a long time. Look at the test system in 2008 lol, yikes. o.g. GTX models were the beginning of an era & decent DX10 stuff. Even the 260 trounced the $700 8800 Ultra before it. 🤘 CoD4 fps pic for some nostalgia.

[serene hedge]

just downloaded a wallet

also, ever heard of salad

i mean, crypto salad

[mossy venture]

still in the wrong chat

[serene hedge]

chat dead

that's why i'm here

[mossy venture]

doesnt change that youre in the wrong chat

[little osprey]

if your 3060 ti disappears one day

and you dont know where it is

it was prolly me :>

[serene hedge]

what

[red dragon]

I just ordered a 12400F and an asus B660 plus d4 board but I know the processor is coming just the chip. Any good recommendations on a cooler choice?

Obviously not worried about overclocking so something that can handle its normal output should be fine

[south cliff]

Then stock should be fine

[red dragon]

There's no stock cooler

It's just the processor

[south cliff]

do you want an air cooler or aio

[red dragon]

Well I just thought about this

I'm using a hyper 212evo right now but it's from 2014

[south cliff]

i mean air would be fine

[red dragon]

Could I just buy the new bracket and use that?

[south cliff]

yeah

should work perfectly fine

[red dragon]

My case is that lianli one with the giant fans so it should be fine cooling wise

[south cliff]

ye

[red dragon]

Keel c:

Kewl*

[south cliff]

or u could scower the internet an find a aio that is compatible for cheap

i just bout a thermeltake th360 snow for 42 dollars

practiccly brand new

[obsidian wigeon]

12400f doesn't even need an aio

[south cliff]

i know just if he wants his setup to look better

[obsidian wigeon]

if possible they could just request lga 1700 bracket

for the cooler

[south cliff]

ik i told them to do that

could the thermaltkae th360 work fine with 12600k oc?

[obsidian wigeon]

eh nah

just spend some more for arctic liquid freezer ii

[south cliff]

thats what i was going to get but i got the Thermaltake for 42 dollars new

[obsidian wigeon]

42 for that ain't too bad

[south cliff]

but i had to buy new case

i got the p400

[coarse cove]

Where should I be plugging in a sata power cable? (resolved)

[red dragon]

Where at?

I have the Evo v1 so it's not gonna be compatible:(

42 is less than most air coolers even

Was looking at the noctua nh-u12s redux but that costs 50

[obsidian wigeon]

instead of the nh-u12s

you can get something like peerless assassin 120

or frost spirit 140

both from same brand

[south cliff]

I got it off facebook marketplace

[obsidian wigeon]

both are cheaper and perform better than the noctua

[south cliff]

comes tommorow

[obsidian wigeon]

i mean the noctua is decent, don't get me wrong. but it's just meh perf to price

[red dragon]

Jesus that thing is huge

[obsidian wigeon]

yeah, gotta check if it fits your case height wise

[south cliff]

yeah some people giving out good deals for stuff they don't use anymore

[red dragon]

What about ram clearance

I guess I should check fb too

[obsidian wigeon]

eh not much of a worry

that cooler is high enough to not hit most of the ram sticks out there

or those two, rather

[south cliff]

how much is it?

[obsidian wigeon]

they're around 40 bucks

last i checked

[south cliff]

thats not bad

my rx 570 on 1hp

i had to tape one fan down becasue it makes very bad noise

and the bracket it falling down and i had to tap e that to

[red dragon]

Hmmmm

According to lian lis website I have 166mm of cpu clearance

That should be fine for either of those right?

[south cliff]

im pretty sure

[red dragon]

Anything will be better than what I'm doing now

[south cliff]

[red dragon]

There's no header for my rgb controller for all my fans do everything is on full blast 24/7 rn

So loud

[south cliff]

go to bios

and change it from there

[red dragon]

Fan controller is through the rgb controller

All fans are routed through it

Changing settings doesn't affect it at all rn

[south cliff]

is it plugged into your motherboard?

[red dragon]

Power yes but the header controls the speed

My case is the lian li lancool 215 x and current mobo is asrock z170 pro4s

[south cliff]

that is a pretty old mobo

b ut you should have enough room

[red dragon]

Yeah I think so too

[red dragon]

@obsidian wigeon Thanks for the suggestion, I went with the rgb peerless ass

[obsidian wigeon]

yw

[south cliff]

[vapid jolt]
