[obsidian wigeon]

don't get that

[mossy venture]

ew

[untold vessel]

i only have an intel 670 512 GB

what should i do

also can i even have two ssds at the same time

is that a thing

[obsidian wigeon]

if you want the best for not so much, there's sk hynix p31 gold

depends on your mobo

[untold vessel]

sounds nice, may I have a link?

[obsidian wigeon]

a lot of mobos has at least two slots

[untold vessel]

i have a b560

if that helps

[obsidian wigeon]

what cpu?

[untold vessel]

11400f

[obsidian wigeon]

okay

[untold vessel]

got that $999 deal back 3 days ago

[obsidian wigeon]

the second m.2 slot should work if the mobo has it

you can look for the ssd up, i don't have time to hunt deals rn

[untold vessel]

https://www.amazon.com/SK-hynix-Gold-500GB-Internal/dp/B08DKB5LWY?th=1

this good, people?

[obsidian wigeon]

yep

109 bucks for 1tb variant is pretty nice

[solar rapids]

Hello. I have an old Cyberpower tower that I want to convert into a server rack. Has anybody ever proceeded with such a task?

[coral wasp]

Anyone have a display issue with z690 xtreme

[rose torrent]

@earnest olive are you familiar with RealBench

[potent portal]

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Getting the whole thing bolted to the rack or transplanting the parts to a 4U server chassis?

[earnest olive]

yes

it's not at all useful in my experience

i tried it, passed it

proceeded to crash in a game

[little osprey]

[proud lance]

Would these be the appropriate steps to install windows on a Linux running machine? 1. Remove SSD with Ubuntu on it
2. Install new ssd with nothing on it
3. Plug in windows usb
4. Boot up computer
5. Set up windows
6. Turn off computer
7. Install Linux ssd again
8. Boot computer
9. Open BIOS
10. Select Linux drive (wd black) so that it opens up the boot menu every time I start the computer
11. Boot into Linux to check
12. Boot into windows to check
13. Done!

[frank stirrup]

yes

you can leave linux ssd attached tbh

just make sure you select the correct ssd to install windows to

[proud lance]

I don’t wanna risk anything so ima just remove it

Thanks btw

[celest horizon]

Image your disks with macrium reflect if you're worried

[potent portal]

You can set the Linux drive to be the default on boot and have grub handle both operating systems that way

That's the kind of thing grub is really good for

[proud lance]

Ok but my current steps will be functional right

[potent portal]

Yeah. And you can have both drives in and pick which to boot on startup.

[coral wasp]

I’m trying to q flash my z690xtreme because I’m not getting a display. Is the last file the one that i rename to gigabyte.bin

[potent portal]

Should be yeah

[uneven gulch]

Does anyone know if the nzxt h510 flow comes with rgb fans?

[fossil cedar]

No but it's bad and overpriced anyway

If you want a similar style, phanteks p360a or p400a

Or corsair 4000d airflow

[uneven gulch]

Ok and one more thing i think i asked this question already but i cant remember what u saidn
Which monitor is better?
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-FreeSync-Optix-MAG240CR/dp/B089Q5K7GK/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=3CNXQAOTVZEP3&keywords=165hz+monitor&qid=1647878627&sprefix=165hz+monitor%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-4

https://www.amazon.com/VG248QG-G-Sync-Compatible-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B07TNM8L6S/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3CNXQAOTVZEP3&keywords=165hz+monitor&qid=1647878627&sprefix=165hz+monitor%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-3

[fossil cedar]

Are you looking for Curved or non curved?

[uneven gulch]

Whichever one's better

It doesnt matter to me

[fossil cedar]

Well I'd go with msi g242

[uneven gulch]

It doesnt necessarily have to be one of those 2 monitors btw, it just has to be 165hz and around $200

[uneven gulch]

Ok

But is there any monitors you will rather go with around that price range or do you think the g242 is the best

[fossil cedar]

G242 is the best option at the moment

It's 180$ which is nice

[uneven gulch]

Ok ty

[earnest olive]

curved and non curved aren't objectively better than the other

just personal preference

I prefer curved because it makes it easier to see the edges of your screen quickly (great in games like league where you need to see your minimap)

[fossil cedar]

I prefer flat \o/

[earnest olive]

you do typically sacrifice some image quality/viewing angles/etc compared to flat IPS screens (since curved panels are practically always VA)

[fossil cedar]

Curved ips is dummy expensive

[earnest olive]

for me the tradeoff is worth it, but it's all preference

[little osprey]

It’s all budget

[desert gulch]

Isn't g24f better?

[fossil cedar]

Maybe a tiny bit but not good price atm

[desert gulch]

$200 seems p fair for it imo

[fossil cedar]

Ehh but 180$

[uneven gulch]

https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Monitor-Display-Response-FreeSync/dp/B096YGM2WS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NPWXAO2WHN60&keywords=g24f&qid=1647885731&sprefix=g24f%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-1
This?

If this is better then ill just get that instead it's only $10 more

[digital oracle]

let's say : kid in candy store has Ryzen 5950 CPU & ASUS X570 Board . . . . what graphic card would you recommend right now to not hold back the capabilities of the CPU & Board (assume using 64GB RAM) (for mass data processing / multiple rendering, hard multi-apps background simultaneous usage) ... ?

[fossil cedar]

3080/6800xt/6900xt

[earnest olive]

I'd trade the kid some candy for it

[digital oracle]

first choice 3080?

[fossil cedar]

Depends on price, usually it's the same price as 6900xt, so that for number 1 - assuming ray tracing isn't something you care about

Technically 3080 ti should be in there but it's stupidly priced unless you can snag a founders edition

[digital oracle]

6900 xt priced immaterially less vs. 3080 ti non founders . . . what's the move?

ray tracing nbd

and . . . may be out of left field, tell me if this is . . . but could i just go with a 'workstation' graphic card specific and cut out the fat of the all the flash and marketing for the gaming ones?

[vague oracle]

Not really, if you want to go for a workstation esque card go for a 3090 because of the extra VRAM

You’re paying extra for very tiny features on the quadro line

[digital oracle]

feel like ya'll are in a syndicate and i'm just proceeding to wanting more and more costly items

[formal girder]

You ask and we provide

The performance is what you seek the price is what needs to be paid for salvation

[vague oracle]

I’m recommending the 3090 because that’s the route I took

[digital oracle]

3090 blows the 3080 out of hte water no doubt no qualms

basically priced 40% higher pure play on the memory?

[vague oracle]

Basically yeah, and because it’s the highest performing Nvidia card rn

[digital oracle]

your experience, your reality, you say no question, it's like the formula 1 car and the other one is like formula 3?

[vague oracle]

The actual performance between the two cards is about 10-15%

Between difference is one has 10gb of vram, other one has 24gb of vram

Now the decision between the two comes down to how much vram you actually need

[digital oracle]

i don't think i'd be rapidly exceeding the offerings of the 3080 , but the idea of having extra artillery is a comfort, maybe it's misguided...

[formal girder]

I can confirm as well and 3090 isn't the gaming card unless this is a little of my biased opinion the vram does help a lot in vr games

[mossy venture]

6900xt oc formula is much cheaper too

[vague oracle]

If he is using this is a workstation the Cuda cores will help a lot

[formal girder]

6900Xt would be the go to card for gaming or a 3080ti

[vague oracle]

Which it clearly seems like he is

[formal girder]

3090 is going down in price so it will help like I found one for under $2k

[vague oracle]

That’s not a bad price at all

I got both of mine for MSRP from best buy

[formal girder]

I got mine for $1600 best buy

[digital oracle]

alright i appreciate all of your mind insights, very beneficial, wish you all well

[untold vessel]

Can anyone please explain the classification of Samsung SSDs and whether or not they are good for PC Building? I've always seen them as the premier SSDs in my head without actually doing my research.

[formal girder]

Model or brand is the way to see things depends on the price to performance per GB

[south cliff]

Should i go for a 30 series or wait for 4000 series?

[little osprey]

id wait tbh

ive been waiting 2 years

[celest sun]

Asus is still king

[formal girder]

Shilling

[strong raft]

980 is nearly pointless, 980 Pro is good for tons of write intensive tasks, 970 Evo Plus is $110ish/TB & generally a good choice. Another great option is SK Hynix P31. Oh yeah, samsun 860/870 evo are sata so avoid those unless perhaps you ran out of m.2 slots

[coral wasp]

Anyone familiar with flash q on the z690 mobo

[rose torrent]

@earnest olive the washer mod reduces mounting pressure btw

[desert gulch]

better than a warped cpu

[strong raft]

Still helps temps, sometimes.

[earnest olive]

like i said, doesn't help every system

[rose torrent]

I think you misunderstood

it supposed to reduced mounting pressure between the ILM and the IHS

[earnest olive]

yeah

cause of the bending

[rose torrent]

yup

[earnest olive]

too much pressure can be worse than not enough

[rose torrent]

yeah, I ended up doing the mod but I ran out of thermal paste at the worst time

[earnest olive]

i put a hilariously overkill cooler on a delidded quad core today

[rose torrent]

so I'll have get some more and repaste

[earnest olive]

44c in prime95 small ffts

[rose torrent]

what the hell

[earnest olive]

with default fan curve

[rose torrent]

thats possible!?

HOW

[earnest olive]

it's a 240mm aio on a delidded quad core

xeon e3-1241v3

undervolted

draws like 60w in prime95 at 3.7ghz all core

such a ridiculously large die for a quad core as well

so heat density is quite low

[rose torrent]

ahhh

[earnest olive]

22nm chip

[rose torrent]

it wasnt soldered was it?

[earnest olive]

nope

[rose torrent]

damn i miss those days

[earnest olive]

they started using solder for 9th gen, and K only

you can still delid an i9-10900 the classic way lol

newer than that not sure

[rose torrent]

wait so

would a 12900 non K be doable?

[earnest olive]

not sure after 10th gen

[rose torrent]

hmmm

[earnest olive]

only know for a fact for 9th and 10th gen

[rose torrent]

eh i probably shouldnt mess with it anyways

I'm not sure what else to do to bring down my temps at this point

[earnest olive]

oh you think you're brave? delid your power supply capacitors

[earnest olive]

put rad in ice bucket

direct die and liquid metal

upgrade to custom loop

[rose torrent]

lmao

[earnest olive]

get a water chiller for daily

[earnest olive]

some people actually do this for benching

[rose torrent]

Yeah that doesnt surprise me

[earnest olive]

I remember getting my first hwbot trophy from putting an ice pack on my laptop

I had to wipe off condensation between every run

[rose torrent]

damn that actually worked?

[earnest olive]

yup

maybe need to try with my current laptop lol

it's scarily close to liquid cooled 5800x performance on stock air

[rose torrent]

5900hx?

[earnest olive]

i7-11800h

[rose torrent]

oh even better

[earnest olive]

I put liquid metal on it and oced it to 4.6 all core

can sustain 125w

[rose torrent]

ooooo

[earnest olive]

I put liquid metal on both cpu and gpu

runs great

basically 5800x + 3060ti performance

in a $1265 laptop

including 240hz screen

[rose torrent]

is it the omen?

[earnest olive]

msi

gp66 leopard

[rose torrent]

good choice

[earnest olive]

MSI is the only one I know of that allows you to fully oc ram in a laptop

[rose torrent]

Wow, i thought at least asus would too

thats bad

[earnest olive]

also the 3070 is 140W

so that's nice

it can outperform stock desktop 3060ti

I see it doing 1800mhz-1900mhz in games

I messed up the CPU power reporting to make it think it's never taking more than 10 watts

so that it tricks GPU dynamic boost to always be on

so I always get 140W instead of 125W

I did so much stuff to this laptop lol

almost made it explode once

[rose torrent]

how?

[rapid jewel]

Ello I came to ask if my pc setup is good enough for 1080p gaming
i5-10400F
RTX-3050 8GB
16GB DDR4
500GB SSD NVMe

[earnest olive]

dropped liquid metal directly on motherboard

a big drop

I was worried that even if I clean it there will be some microscopic particles that will short it out

but it's still working like 5 months later

[earnest olive]

depends on your definition of 1080p gaming

[rapid jewel]

Well ig 70-80 fps on mid-high settings

[earnest olive]

in what games lol

cyberpunk with psycho rtx at 1080p is very different from league of legends at 1080p

the 3050 can only do one of those

[rapid jewel]

Eh I’d say stuff like csgo, gta

[earnest olive]

yes absolutely fine

[rapid jewel]

Ah very good to hear

Cuz planning to build one with that specs

I just ordered parts

[earnest olive]

should do like 100 fps in gta and 300 in csgo

[rapid jewel]

Splendid

[earnest olive]

can always look up some benchmarks

[gilded bone]

I know this is more for preference but want your guys insight on it. I have a Gigabyte Aorus Master 3070Ti. It is 70mm wide and is a 4 card slot. It is a secondary card and honestly takes a lot of space in any case I try. I am trying to build a small form factor PC for my office area since it's pretty much just collecting a bit of dust right now. Someone came to me and offered me a 3070Ti FE and albeight much smaller and will pretty much fit anywhere, I wanted to know your guys opinion if it's a worthwhile trade?

[fossil cedar]

Not unless they're also offering you cash

[gilded bone]

Yeah, I agree with you. The card price difference is pretty big for a 3070Ti. I guess I'll have to just give up on the small form factor case and go with a small case that actually fits a 4 slot GPU. Anyone have any recommendations for one with good cooling?

[frigid night]

My recommendation is... go with Pato's recommendation.

[fossil cedar]

I don't know any sff type cases that fit 4 slot cards but a good few will fit 3 slot cards, if i were you I'd go onto r/hardwareswap or Facebook marketplace asking for smaller card or at least if it's worse cooler like FE, add cash onto it on their side

[gilded bone]

Ok. Thank you. Didn't know about hardware swap TBH. That helps a lot.

[fossil cedar]

Np

[fossil cedar]

@outer blaze nice paint job

[outer blaze]

Pretty fair priced and work fully with corsair icue

@fossil cedar

[fossil cedar]

Nice

[fleet pagoda]

How do i fix red vga light

Its not clicking into place and i cant use the bottom slot bc there isnt enough room

[potent portal]

You might need to pull on the plastic tab to get it out of the way of the slot

[fleet pagoda]

I got it in now

But

It posts without the gpu

But with it no post

It lights up and fans spin

Still red vga light

[potent portal]

Did it click when you put it in the slot?

[fleet pagoda]

No it wont click

Idk why

I got it to click in but still nothing

[obsidian wigeon]

have you plugged gpu power connectors in?

it might not be getting enough power

[fleet pagoda]

Yeah ive re connected them a few times

Ill try from the psu end now

Nope still nothin

[potent portal]

You've got the correct end connected to the GPU right? It should be the 8 pin connector that splits into 6+2

[fleet pagoda]

Using these

Are those wrong

[potent portal]

That's correct yeah

Sometimes people get the wrong end plugged into the power supply

[fleet pagoda]

What should i try next

[potent portal]

Check if there's a cable near the slot, it could be blocking the GPU from inserting all the way

[fleet pagoda]

There isnt one

It looks like one of those golen pins that goes into the slot is broken off

[potent portal]

Depending on where that pin is and how much broke off it could be fine.
Pic?

[fleet pagoda]

Cant get a good pic but it looks like this

Mine is identical to that

[potent portal]

It's on that end of the GPU too?

[fleet pagoda]

Yeah

Just on the gpu i believe

[sage crown]

Mine also has that on the end but it seems fine

[potent portal]

That side of the GPU is just data and ground pins, nothing important

[sage crown]

I need help also

[fleet pagoda]

Well could there be a problem with the gpu it self idk what else to try

[potent portal]

If it was on the shorter side, those are power pins

[fleet pagoda]

Only other thing i can think of is to take it out of the case and try another slot

[potent portal]

With what?

[sage crown]

Would this be reusable

[potent portal]

That's for the m.2 right?

[sage crown]

I also got these but I don't know what these are

@potent portal yes

[potent portal]

Yeah you can reuse those

[sage crown]

Okay

But what are these little squares stuff tho for the m.2

[potent portal]

It's a spacer for if you only have chips on one side of the drive

[sage crown]

Oh

[fleet pagoda]

I fixed it @potent portal

[potent portal]

Awesome!

[fleet pagoda]

Does this mean my pump isnt working

[earnest olive]

did you plug the pump into that header?

if your pump isn't working you should see some very high CPU temps

so it should be pretty obvious

[fleet pagoda]

Its plugged into cpu opt

[earnest olive]

then it's working lol

[brittle tinsel]

a buddy of my buddy is wanting to come to the pc master race. He said his budget is preferred less than 3k.
He said he doesnt care about graphics he just wants it to last a long time without swapping parts.
He said "if the graphics run like a ps4, Im set!"

any ideas for a system? im not too sure on what older gen cards will still last a while, I have a 1060 3gb but its on its way out the door

[fossil cedar]

I'll put a list for ~3k for you

[fleet pagoda]

Well he definitely doesnt need to spent any where near 3k

[fossil cedar]

Yeah he doesn't

[brittle tinsel]

I also dont know if he will be doing any content creation, he does have a lightly moderate following on insta, so I didnt know amd vs intel.

his content is normally short clips and pictures of games he plays

[fossil cedar]

When you're getting to 3k you're really getting into paying extra for not as much perf usually

[fossil cedar]

[mossy venture]

Imo https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZCZzNc

[fossil cedar]

But intel 12th gen is crushing it

[mossy venture]

If he wants to save money could get a 12600k and b660 prime

Oh wait

[brittle tinsel]

isnt b660 amd?

[mossy venture]

Is 5000d better to go for rn than a p400a for that budget?

[mossy venture]

No

x50 is amd

As well as x70

[stoic island]

too many rules to remember, just know by a chipset to chipset basis

b660 is intel

b550 is amd

[mossy venture]

If he wants cheaper https://pcpartpicker.com/list/frpmgb

[brittle tinsel]

would either of those processors have power to play games and screen record with medal or OBS?
I doubt he screen records but rather just clips with medal.

[stoic island]

would get 5000d airflow

but yes

[brittle tinsel]

alright, appreciate it folks

❤️

[mossy venture]

I beat you to it pato, get rekt

[earnest olive]

if the graphics run like a ps4

that's like

hd 7870 tier lol

can do that with a $200 budget

[little osprey]

Lmao.

Fail

[fossil cedar]

@brittle tinsel for max perf
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nh2b8r
but you're paying for a bit of the extra couple %, I'd personally do this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RP7p8r

[jagged ember]

Pato always makes good build lists

[tacit hollow]

Hey guys i have a question regarding powering a gpu
Should I power it with one cord that splits in the end or just 2 cords

The gpu is an rtx 3070ti

[fossil cedar]

2 separate cables

[tacit hollow]

Ok thanks

[tacit hollow]

what happens if i use 1

[fossil cedar]

You'll be limited to probably 180-220w instead of like 270-300w

Just use 2 separate

[tacit hollow]

i am i was just curious

[cursive wharf]

Cables can typically do way more then that my friend. Each cable can do like 350w - 380 or smth. Tho, you do need to make sure the cables are in good condition for that.

Sketchy cables I wouldn't trust for that. I pushed 300w on my one 8P for my old 1080Ti, still doing it with my 3080.

Connector is usually the weak point. They ideally shouldn't be hollow connectors, not corroded/oxidized, fully plugged in, and are properly solder to the cable itself.

[subtle anchor]

Heyo! Any suggestions of a good b660 mobo?

To go with my i5 12400

Mid tower

[little osprey]

asus prime b660plus ddr4

if you want to spend $140

otherwise you go broke getting a better board

[subtle anchor]

I think I'm gonna go with MSI Pro b660M-A

[mossy venture]

I always recommend the b660 prime

That's mobo is super overkill for a 12400

[subtle anchor]

You think so?

Not much a price difference

They're actually both $140

[little osprey]

i think either is fine for $140

but the prime is atx

and the msi one is micro atx

just be aware of that

[coral wasp]

Anyone have any success with z690mofo

I’m doing my first build and having issues

[mossy venture]

I must've been looking at the wrong one

[wooden quartz]

Hey so my audio jack wont work I tried to update drives and reset computer won’t work but will play out the hdmi

Audio cable is connected to motherboard also

[formal girder]

What issues are you having?

[strange wadi]

Anyone know a good $150 build ?

[little osprey]

Uhhh

Not really

Theres $150 computers but they are not good

[strange wadi]

I can increase to $1k mid range stuff shouldn't be that expensive still

After the gpu crisis

[little osprey]

$1k would get you loads more

lemme look real quick

[strange wadi]

Alrighty, and thank you!

[little osprey]

whats a realistic amount you think you're gonna spend

[strange wadi]

I would say $900 for the overall build, and $100 for extra storage(s) and stuff

I already have a pc, but wanted to make a second one

for casual stuff, not exactly a main pc

[little osprey]

You want a part list or like a prebuilt

[strange wadi]

Part list

If that's alright!

[potent portal]

What's the purpose of this pc?

[strange wadi]

Puprose for the second pc would be, inventory management, and data transfers, like a job pc but at home instead in a receptionist place.

I don't want my main pc, become a mess from having like all lot of files from work

Second pc, would make it easy to manage

[little osprey]

Do you need a graphics card? it sounds like you're only doing casual work

[strange wadi]

Oh my, I forgot to say I already bought myself a GT 710 1gb

That should be good

[little osprey]

Ah. Good to know

Honestly, you wouldn't even need 12th gen intel for this, but if you did, you could maybe go for -> https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rBkWbK

Might need someone else to take a second look at it

[potent portal]

Totally overkill for an office type pc

[strange wadi]

Which part is overkill or overall overkill ?

Is it the 12th gen intel ?

[potent portal]

Mostly the 12400 and B660, and the power supply

[little osprey]

yes. im making another list for a more toned down build

[strong raft]

10400F saves $50 right there.

[strange wadi]

10400F, I swear I've heard of it before

I don't remember

[little osprey]

Intel core i5 processor

[strange wadi]

Ah

[strong raft]

yeah it's 10gen, the F means no igpu of course. $130 and 11gen 11400 was barely an upgrade. 11gen mainly just allowed an extra m.2 ssd slot on some mobos.

[potent portal]

And you could do H510 chipset mobo also, no need for memory overclock

[little osprey]

eh is h510 that much cheaper?

i was gonna add

for $89

the cheapest h510 on pcpp at least is like $83

[potent portal]

If it's that close B560 it is

Or B460 for that matter

[little osprey]

Yeah, idk what ram to put in this tho. Im unsure of the $50-60 budget range and the quality of those ram sticks

[potent portal]

3000 c15 sticks are fine

[little osprey]

red crucial ballistix it is

[strange wadi]

And thank you everyone for helping me finding the right parts for this office build pc, I really appreciate y'alls help!

[strong raft]

G.Skill ripjaws or another well known brand wouldn't hurt. 3200c16 or 3000c15 too, doesn't matter they're close enough. 32GB kit of ballistix is currently well priced but idk about the 16GB kit(s). Would be a nice option while it's still around.

[little osprey]

Does the 10400f need an air cooler? for office work, stock should be fine... right

[little osprey]

Ya no problem

[potent portal]

Stock cooler is fine

[little osprey]

256gb or 512gb storage? i feel like 512gb is a little too much and 256gb is not enough

[potent portal]

256 is just bad price when 512 is $15 more

[little osprey]

noted, thanks

mp33 it is

[strange wadi]

mp33 ?

Haven't heard of that one before

[little osprey]

Nicely priced budget m.2 nvme drive

[strong raft]

WD SN550 would be another option, but afaik it's not currently a great price. I impulse bought one at $44.

[little osprey]

Yeah, it fluctuates it bit for sure

[strange wadi]

Ah, understood!

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZnPQqm Ok. might need another look on this but so far this is what i've got

[strange wadi]

Alrighty this build looks nice, I thought I would need to chuck another $1k for a work pc and thank you guys!

[potent portal]

Here's what I wound up with https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xnbTC6

[little osprey]

Also an awesome build for around the same price, especially if you want a glass side panel

[potent portal]

Mostly picked the case because it has fans

[lean berry]

I recently just bought a 3070ti and I currently have a EVGA SuperNova 650w G2 power supply. My current setup is: i7-10700k , 16gb DDR4, 1tb Hdd, 1.5tb SSD. I have around 4-6 usb plugged in and a VR headset. I’m concerned about the power supply being enough. I’ve read multiple sources that have said it would be fine and I’ve even used multiple psu calculators. I guess I’m just stressed about ruining something in my pc. Any help?

[potent portal]

650W should be fine

[lean berry]

Thanks 😊

[potent portal]

You'd only need to move up to 750W if you got a 3080/6800XT, they spike a little higher when gaming

[little osprey]

oops

[frank stirrup]

So the reason for that case is only fans?

Ill let myself out now

[fossil cedar]

Even still it's not a good idea

[vale mulch]

hey just joined, anyone got best build 3k or under.. too lazy and too many options to choose from.. will be first build since 2016, spent hours googling last night and head spinning from everything out there now

[little osprey]

@strange wadi you could try x79 or x99 :)

[fossil cedar]

for max perf
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ddpQqm
but you're paying for a bit of the extra couple %, I'd personally do this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tWWJbK

No wait the 3080 is gone

Lemme get different gpu

[vale mulch]

tbh i could use a 3060

im using it for work i dont need the best gpu

[fossil cedar]

I fixed the links

[fossil cedar]

What kind of work?

[vale mulch]

tickets, so i need plenty of tabs open at once ram more important to me.. your first link looks just about as what i was about to go with

[fossil cedar]

All i did with the first link was change the power supply

But yeah that should do you nicely

32gb of nice fast ram 12700k

[vale mulch]

can you do 64 gb on that set up?

[fossil cedar]

I mean you can but i highly doubt you'd use 64gb

[vale mulch]

thanks man just what i was looking for and yeah ill probv leave battery also cause i have a 1200 p2 at home

[fossil cedar]

@vale mulch https://pcpartpicker.com/list/87fx6r

Ohh yeah if you already have a good psu no need to get a new one

[vale mulch]

@fossil cedar appreciate the help! have a great day

[fossil cedar]

No prob you too 😊

[wooden quartz]

Hey so my audio jack wont work I tried to update drives and reset computer won’t work but will play out the hdmi Audio cable is connected to motherboard also

[analog hearth]

did you try the troubleshooter built in with Windows?

also check for Windows updates

[fossil cedar]

The jack on the motherboard or on the case?

[wooden quartz]

Pc up to date And did do troubleshooting

@fossil cedar Both don’t work it shows it’s plugged in but no audio and speakers do work when I plug es it in to mu phone

[jagged ember]

tried a different cable?

[wooden quartz]

No it’s only one cable on speakers 🔊

It dose make slight buzzing noise when plugged it

In*

[jagged ember]

but did you try playing sound through a different cable

[analog hearth]

sounds like a software issue

[jagged ember]

mm

just to be sure, yk?

just takes a couple seconds

[analog hearth]

I would download the drivers directly from your motherboard's webpage

[wooden quartz]

No

It’s a omen board

So how do I do that

[jagged ember]

ohh

so it's a laptop?

[jagged ember]

still, this is a good step to take regardless

[wooden quartz]

No it’s a pc

HP OMEN Obelisk 875 Series 875-0014 Edoras Motherboard L23867-001 L23867-601

875-0018 I mean

How do I Re-download drives

@analog hearth

[jagged ember]

you go to the motherboard website and download the latest audio driver

[wooden quartz]

I understand that but idk why websites I would go to

[jagged ember]

omen?

that's who made the motherboard, right?

[little osprey]

https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/pc-audio-codecs-high-definition-audio-codecs-software

@wooden quartz

[wooden quartz]

@potent portal told me a wile back when he looked it up it’s a omen board claiming to me a micro Sox

Apx*

I’m so lost on this computer sorry guys

@little osprey What about window 11 I only see windows 10

[little osprey]

Should work the same

[wooden quartz]

Ok sweet

So I uninstall old file and install new file?

[little osprey]

Ok wait, what’s the problem here

You plug in HDMI and an audio cable, but your audio is stuck going through HDMI.

Do you want to switch the output? Like switch from HDMI to your headphones

[wooden quartz]

I can play audio out my hdmi put when I tell it to play audio out my headphones it shows it playing but no audio I checked the speakers on another device and it will work but not on my computer

[little osprey]

I see

[wooden quartz]

Neither on the front or back jack will play audio

[little osprey]

It’s just static sound?

[wooden quartz]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

Well for the front panel at least, make sure the HD audio header is connected to the board

And uhm update your chipset and audio drivers

[wooden quartz]

It is concerned I checked

I checked for updated and it up to date

[fossil cedar]

Have you tried a different speaker/headphones/tried the speaker/headphones on different pc

[wooden quartz]

Not tried different speakers but have tried the speakers on a different device

[fossil cedar]

Yeah considering it's a hp I'd just contact them tbh

Sounds like a faulty board

[little osprey]

If you’re under warranty, that is

they won’t allow you to chat for tech support otherwise

[fossil cedar]

Bruh

[wooden quartz]

I’m not under warranty

[unique haven]

Do I need a sata ssd or a hdd?

Or can I just use a m.2

[mossy venture]

whats the budget for the ssd

[unique haven]

Well I already got a Samsung ego plus 1 tb ssd

Evo*

[mossy venture]

hdd should be fine

[unique haven]

Oh so I need it

Frick

[mossy venture]

?

what?

an nvme ssd by itself is fine

you dont need a sata drive

[unique haven]

Do I have to get the hhd?

[mossy venture]

no

i thought you were asking what to do for more storage

[unique haven]

Oh

Just for now I was gonna go with just the m.2

[mossy venture]

nvme ssds are great

[unique haven]

Later imma get a hhd

[mossy venture]

also btw its hdd

[unique haven]

Oh oops

[mossy venture]

not an issue, jsyk

i used to make the same mistake lol

[unique haven]

Lol

Thanks!

[mossy venture]

np

[tropic ginkgo]

help me with the GPU choice for a sub 600$ build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kM9n78

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mvzp8r

[mossy venture]

pretty sure they meant sub 600 for the whole system

[fossil cedar]

ohhhhhhhhhh

yikes

[mossy venture]

imo id save a bit more and https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JZgZfv

[tropic ginkgo]

no its alright they mostly say RX6500XT is dog water but man I don't care at this point

[mossy venture]

for your budget its probably the best youll get without waiting too long

[tropic ginkgo]

yeah and its the only one you can find at a reasonable price in morocco ;-;

[fossil cedar]

you realise that would cost a fortune in import tax most likely right

[tropic ginkgo]

no actualy I will try and find the products in morocco and match them as closely as possible to the list

[fossil cedar]

but if you were to go 600 build - this with 1650 super and this ram kit
https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureView?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&catEntryId=3074457345619965322&urlLangId=&quantity=1

[fossil cedar]

then theres no point going off US reccomendations

prices etc will be different

[tropic ginkgo]

just read HP.COM ain't buyin' it

[tropic ginkgo]

they largely base it on US even when they import it from EU

[frigid night]

NICE lol

[fossil cedar]

but availability will and pricing will be different

would be better off sending us links to where you would buy from

[fossil cedar]

that is the best 600$ pc you can do atm, hp prebuilts are actually ok

[tropic ginkgo]

yeah I garrenty a 20% price error on this

[tropic ginkgo]

the motherboard is disgusting ngl :/

[tropic ginkgo]

oh this yeah sure

[fossil cedar]

the proprietary one... yeah but its miles better than anything else sub 600$

[tropic ginkgo]

I give you that

fun fact did you know that the import fees in morocco are based on material and weight not on size and weight

[fossil cedar]

wierd

[tropic ginkgo]

yeah its more about europes importing stuff getting into here and they changed it

OH 130$ for an i3 10100F in a local website!

should I consider it?

[fossil cedar]

With your budget ye

[tropic ginkgo]

but then here comes the issue

motherboards

they are so gosh darn expensive

especialy for the LGA 1200 and let alone LGA 1700

[subtle anchor]

Hey, anyone recommend a decently priced antistatic mat?

Some claim antistatic but aren't effective

[subtle anchor]

$140 is a decent price for most LGA 1700s

[fossil cedar]

The motherboard box is more than enough, but gamers Nexus have some

[fossil cedar]

They live in Morocco

[unique haven]

Why does gpu have to be so expensive

Is static really that big of a problem?

or do i not need those anti static mats and what not

[autumn wolf]

depends on where you live and where you're building. static really isnt much of an issue but if you do want to be safe then you can buy one

[unique haven]

then ill probably just not worry about it

im building on a marble table

[fossil cedar]

If you want just plug in psu and touch it every so often

[unique haven]

ok

[jagged ember]

that's what i did

[desert gulch]

The big area you'll get static is by peeling those protective plastic peelies on the side panel and stuff

[desert gulch]

Make sure it's switched off too

[fossil cedar]

Indood

[desert gulch]

Also, standard laptop chargers are a great way to ground too

The outside of them is usually the neutral/ground

[unique haven]

should i get a rx 6600 xt amd radeon or a RX 3060 XC gaming?

[desert gulch]

What are you going to do with the PC?

[unique haven]

gaming and coding

[desert gulch]

For gaming I'd def go 6600xt, but idk if coders have a preference of Nvidia/ATI

I'll let someone with more knowledge on that answer the question

[unique haven]

its fine i think ill go with 6600 xt

[desert gulch]

Yeah it'll definitely have more power in games and all that

Just not sure if there's issues with support or whatever for coders

[unique haven]

it should be fine

[little osprey]

depends on pricing

[potent portal]

Coding is almost 100% CPU. Barely any use while writing code but test compiling slams single cores.

[subtle anchor]

Oh really?

[earnest olive]

i've had a few builds just running on top of the motherboard box lol

your components are safe (from static at least) on there

[subtle anchor]

lol

So I shouldn't need to invest in a mat?

[earnest olive]

friendly reminder that a case is an optional component

[earnest olive]

absolutely not

[subtle anchor]

Sweet. That whole mat with the antistatic wristband is just a gimmick then?

[mossy venture]

im debating grabbing this 1050 ti for $100 and canceling my order for that 1650

since that thing was so overpriced

[subtle anchor]

lool

[subtle anchor]

dang that's cheap

how much vram

[earnest olive]

yeah they're pretty unnecessary, if you have any static concerns just put your hand on a doorknob every 5 minutes

4gb

[mossy venture]

1050 ti is barely worse than 1650 right?

[subtle anchor]

oh ok

i have a gtx 1050 2gb vram

[earnest olive]

the anti static wristband is slightly less useless than an anti static mat

[subtle anchor]

it's pretty outdated

[earnest olive]

but you absolutely don't need either

[subtle anchor]

phew

kk thanks for saving me $20

also, amazon couldn't expedite my mobo

[earnest olive]

it's also pretty hard to damage modern components with static nowadays, protections exist

[subtle anchor]

even though they said they could originally

so I cancelled and went with newegg lol

[earnest olive]

but still better to just touch a doorknob every once in a while and don't build on carpet

[subtle anchor]

they're sorta pissy about me cancelling the order

[earnest olive]

that's pretty much the extent of how anyone's static concerns should be

[subtle anchor]

I have a carpet lul

[earnest olive]

ehh it's a noticeable gap

[subtle anchor]

could I put a cardboard box above the carpet?

[earnest olive]

yeah

[little osprey]

Yes

[subtle anchor]

to step on while i build?

[mossy venture]

the issue is the 1050 ti is 115 after shipping, that 1650 cost 220 after tax

[little osprey]

No

No

[mossy venture]

difference is 1650 is new

[earnest olive]

just stay in reach of a doorknob or some metal that you can ground yourself on

[subtle anchor]

cardboard doesn't produce static yea?

[earnest olive]

while you're on your cardboard island

[little osprey]

You might skip

[subtle anchor]

yeahh

[little osprey]

Slip

[subtle anchor]

that sounds like the vibe

[earnest olive]

i had my friend build on a cardboard island on his carpet

lol

[subtle anchor]

yeahh

I'm doing that 100%

[mossy venture]

and 220 on a 1650 is still hard to swallow

[little osprey]

Bruh

[subtle anchor]

cardboard island doorknob paradise

[little osprey]

With pc

[earnest olive]

put something heavy to weigh down the cardboard if that's your concern

[subtle anchor]

lol the pc will be on the ground

[little osprey]

Grabs the nearest human

[subtle anchor]

on the cardboard island

[earnest olive]

115 is a great deal for a 1050ti in the current market

ah

that's uhh

not great for your kneecaps

[little osprey]

I saw a 1060 3gb for $110

[subtle anchor]

yeah true

[little osprey]

Idk if it’s still up

[subtle anchor]

wood desk?

wood desk standing on cardboard island

[mossy venture]

i think im going to wait a few more days and try to grab that $90 1650 or 1660 from evga

otherwise ill just keep the 1650 and ill keep trying for a card for the next month till return window expires

[subtle anchor]

that sounds like the play

[little osprey]

In a wood house on a wooden platform on a wood planet in a wood universe

[subtle anchor]

i recently got some money I think I could use to upg my graphics card

[mossy venture]

i have trouble trusting marketplace non local deals

[mossy venture]

whats your cpu?

also power supply

[subtle anchor]

i5 12400

[mossy venture]

oh yeah, def time for a gpu upgrade

[subtle anchor]

corsair CORSAIR CX-M Series CX650M 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE

[mossy venture]

theres supposedly going to be a bb drop tmrw, as well as evga

[subtle anchor]

well, I am rocking a i5 6400 until it arrives

bb drop?

[mossy venture]

best buy

[subtle anchor]

ohhhh shoot

drop in price?

[mossy venture]

im pretty sure that psu is low priority c tier

[subtle anchor]

or just new gfx

[earnest olive]

i mean my friend just had a desk in his carpeted room

[little osprey]

stock availability drop

[mossy venture]

in stock graphics cards

[subtle anchor]

ooo

[earnest olive]

and stood in front of the desk on cardboard island

the desk doesn't need to be on cardboard it's not going to conduct static

[subtle anchor]

dang I might have to snag one

[mossy venture]

might want a change if you get anything over 3060

[earnest olive]

desk can be on carpet

[little osprey]

I live in a cardboard box

[mossy venture]

if youre lucky enough

[subtle anchor]

yea true

[mossy venture]

they sell out fast

[subtle anchor]

half the desk is on wood floor, half on rug

[earnest olive]

buy a corsair 7000d and live in the box

[subtle anchor]

tomorrow, as in 3 hours?

[earnest olive]

free rent

[subtle anchor]

or sometime mid day?

[mossy venture]

probably around 10:00-2:00 est

most likely around 11:30, if there is one

[subtle anchor]

mid afternoon tomorrow?

[earnest olive]

don't you need to buy the bs $200 membership for BB drops now?

[mossy venture]

evga drop if theres one any time throughout the day

[subtle anchor]

sheesh

[mossy venture]

so far theres only been one like that

we wont know if its needed for this one till it happens

[subtle anchor]

you said the psu was mid-tier?

I figured it'd do the job

[little osprey]

Mid tier is okay

[mossy venture]

not really

its low priority c tier iirc

[subtle anchor]

oof

[mossy venture]

i could be wrong

[subtle anchor]

better than my current psu

[little osprey]

Do you have a list of parts?

[subtle anchor]

I'd have to make one up real quick

[little osprey]

Did you buy basically everything already

[subtle anchor]

I have all the parts except mobo and cpu coming in tomorrow

[earnest olive]

which year is that psu from?

some of them are known to have horrible coil whine issues

[subtle anchor]

i'll check- my current psu is ancient

[earnest olive]

well, you can still buy new units of the 2017 model

[subtle anchor]

ouch

February 09, 2016

[earnest olive]

or the 2016 model

[subtle anchor]

first available

[little osprey]

Which specific year is yours

[earnest olive]

the 2016 model is the best of the CX line

[subtle anchor]

oh interesting

[little osprey]

he said first available so that doesn’t guarantee his is 2016 model

[subtle anchor]

would it say on the box?

i can check

[earnest olive]

CX 2016: B+
CX 2017: C
CX 2021: C-

[little osprey]

Isn’t one like grey label and one white or smth

[mossy venture]

hmm

i found some 570 4gb for 150 before shipping

[earnest olive]

the B+ one has a gray label

[little osprey]

Meeeeh

radeon is mid

[earnest olive]

570 4gb destroys 1050ti

beats 1650 as well

[mossy venture]

i know

only issue is the tdp

[little osprey]

Yes but it’s like 1650S right

[earnest olive]

good sample 570 4gbs can beat 1060 6gb

[mossy venture]

might be too high, i still dont know my partners psu and they cant check without taking the whole pc apart

[earnest olive]

floppa's 570 beat my 1060 6gb iirc

[mossy venture]

because of how weird the case is

[earnest olive]

@wheat coral what was your 570 time spy again babe

[little osprey]

Isn’t his 570 special

[subtle anchor]

idk what year my psu is

specifically

[earnest olive]

well now it gets a score of 0

[earnest olive]

send link

[earnest olive]

haswell ready

that's an old boy

[subtle anchor]

ouch

I mean, it'll do the job

[earnest olive]

haswell is 2013

[subtle anchor]

dang

[little osprey]

I mean it works

[earnest olive]

the psu tier list doesn't have any data about this psu

so i dunno

[subtle anchor]

I got a $20 rebate on it

[little osprey]

It’s probably fine until your pc blows up

[subtle anchor]

so I spent $43 instead of $63

my current psu is only 400w

or something

[little osprey]

Mines is 300w get rekt

[subtle anchor]

lol dang

yeah my current psu is meh

i figure 650 will do the job

[little osprey]

Yes should be fine

[subtle anchor]

i heard lots of people overpower their machine

[earnest olive]

hmm

[little osprey]

That’s not really a thing

[subtle anchor]

i mean like

they get higher wattage than what's necessary

[little osprey]

Future proofing

[subtle anchor]

meh yeah

[little osprey]

So you have room to grow

[earnest olive]

i'm not finding any mention of a 2013 cx650m existing, and it seems you bought the 2016 model

[subtle anchor]

Oh nice

[earnest olive]

i wonder why they advertised it as haswell ready in 2016

[subtle anchor]

yeah

[earnest olive]

6th gen was out by then...

[subtle anchor]

It looks like an up-to-date box

[earnest olive]

haswell is 4th gen

[subtle anchor]

at least to me

[earnest olive]

you're pairing it with 12th gen

[subtle anchor]

yeah

[little osprey]

whatever if the 2016 model is fine then hes good to go

[earnest olive]

anyways, this is a B+ tier psu

should be alright

[subtle anchor]

oh not bad

[little osprey]

"alright"

[earnest olive]

should be able to run up to a 3070ti without issues

[subtle anchor]

yeah I'll take it

[earnest olive]

3080+ no

[little osprey]

W

[subtle anchor]

so, with my setup

[earnest olive]

well, depends

[subtle anchor]

what gpu upg

what are we thinking?

anything better than a 1050

idk if I need a 3080

[little osprey]

3060 should be fine

[earnest olive]

3080-3090 possibly would run on this paired with the 12400, but i wouldn't trust 3090/3080ti

[subtle anchor]

budget is say, maybe $300

dang

[little osprey]

maybe go for a 3050

[earnest olive]

3080 should be fine with an undervolt

[subtle anchor]

what's the pricepoint on the 3050?

[little osprey]

$249 - $350 ish

[earnest olive]

3080 should be fine at stock settings too depending on the model

[subtle anchor]

Oh wow

scalpers aren't screwing me over today I guess

[earnest olive]

prob don't want to push it to 450w, but 320w should be fine

[little osprey]

It depends where you buy....

EVGA has had multiple restockings recently

[earnest olive]

rx 6600xt has been available for attractive prices recently

[little osprey]

that too

[subtle anchor]

oh wow

6600xt? never herad of that

[earnest olive]

seen a few around $400

[little osprey]

theres loads more options

[subtle anchor]

that's a new one then?

[little osprey]

fairly new

[subtle anchor]

dang, a 3050 will be a substantial upgrade from my 1050 yea?

1050 is oollld

[little osprey]

Yes

3050 has dlss and will allow you to hit higher framerates

search up "3050 game benchmarks" on youtube to find out how much fps you would get on your favorite games

[earnest olive]

3050 should be 2.5-5x more powerful than the 1050 depending on the situation

[subtle anchor]

wow, so retail they go for $250?

[earnest olive]

5x if you're running like dlss ultra performance or something

[subtle anchor]

but scalpers suck em up

[earnest olive]

2.5x baseline

[little osprey]

the cheapest model at EVGA does

[subtle anchor]

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3050-rtx-3050-ventus-2x8g/p/N82E16814137715?Item=N82E16814137715

[earnest olive]

may not translate to 2.5x fps because cpu and ram bottlenecks exist

and game engine bottlenecks

or just turning up the settings

[subtle anchor]

my current gpu is 2gb lol

[little osprey]

Meh ventus has a mediocre cooler

[earnest olive]

should be fine on a 3050

[little osprey]

its only a 3050 though i wouldnt be so worried

[subtle anchor]

yeah but either way, should be real nice for music production

[earnest olive]

looks like the same cooler that they put on the 3070 lmaooo

[little osprey]

yes it does

[earnest olive]

hmm ok no it's slimmer

[little osprey]

quite. i think CPU is used more for that type of thing tho

[subtle anchor]

yea it is

that's the main reason I was looking to upgrade to a hefty one

thanks to orange mushroom for the suggestion of an i5 12400 vs the i7 I was looking at

[proud lance]

Uh my gpu is plugged in and my entire comp is working but the gpu fans aren’t spinning and there is no display

[subtle anchor]

it's 10x better

[little osprey]

did you plug in the power connectors to your psu

[proud lance]

Yep

[earnest olive]

are there any lights on the gpu

[proud lance]

No

[little osprey]

damn

[earnest olive]

are there supposed to be

[proud lance]

It’s an msi rx580

I don’t think so

[little osprey]

like rgb that type of thing

[proud lance]

No

[earnest olive]

logo might light up

which model

[little osprey]

these?

[earnest olive]

or this?

[proud lance]

This

alright no lights then

[proud lance]

It was working fine until I took it out to install a new ssd

[earnest olive]

turn it off and reseat the graphics card as well the power cables

yeah sounds like you didn't seat it perfectly i'd guess

[little osprey]

^ was about to say

[proud lance]

I alr reseated it

Twice

[earnest olive]

just the power cables to the graphics card should be enough

[subtle anchor]

so, optimal price for a 3050?

you'd say $300-350?

[little osprey]

$249

[subtle anchor]

$249 optimal

got it

[little osprey]

$300 is ok and $350 is a stretch

[earnest olive]

optimal? lol, if we were in a sane market it would be $179

[bright notch]

hey, if I wanted to use two monitors, do I need another gpu?

[subtle anchor]

anything over 350 is overkill

[earnest olive]

no

you can drive up to 7 monitors with one dgpu and one igpu depending

[little osprey]

does your computer only have one display out?

[proud lance]

I have it going through a pcie extension thing cuz I’m using an itx case

[earnest olive]

or 4 with just one dgpu

or 3 with no dgpu and 1 igpu

[proud lance]

And then a 6 pin power connecter

[earnest olive]

did you reseat both the riser and the gpu into the riser?

[proud lance]

Ye

[little osprey]

try removing the ssd you just put in, and try the GPU again

[bright notch]

No. I just wanted to know if I need the extra gpu

[little osprey]

Shouldnt need to

[earnest olive]

it's hard to tell whether or not the gpu is the problem if no lights

cause no fan spin can just be a sign of normal fan stop function

[bright notch]

Thanks for the info.

[little osprey]

well by going back to the original config you can see if the gpu still works or not

[earnest olive]

when rgb is actually a useful feature

[proud lance]

I’ve had this problem before and it fixed itself after an hour

[little osprey]

maybe try leaving it out for an hour 🤨

[proud lance]

I did

[earnest olive]

if you insist you've seated everything perfectly

maybe try power cycling your system

[little osprey]

its probably your gpu riser ngl

[earnest olive]

what you just said makes me think of that

[proud lance]

What does that mean

[earnest olive]

switch off psu, hold power button on your case for like a minute

then switch on psu and try to turn it on again

[proud lance]

What will that do

[earnest olive]

drains all the capacitors and stuff

[little osprey]

power cycle your system

[proud lance]

Ic

[earnest olive]

for a cold boot

[wheat coral]

4513 iirc

[proud lance]

Ok I’ll try that

[earnest olive]

oh

not quite 1060 level then

but close

[proud lance]

I haven’t touched it in hour

So ill see

Now

[little osprey]

me with 4013 😭

[earnest olive]

floppa did you see what i did to my xeon

[wheat coral]

delid

[earnest olive]

no

[wheat coral]

o

[earnest olive]

i put a 240 aio on it after delidding it

lmao

[little osprey]

bruh

[wheat coral]

but why

[earnest olive]

that's with stock fan curve

[wheat coral]

worse than i thought

[earnest olive]

ok but thats at 26c ambient

[wheat coral]

youd get similar results out of a d15

[earnest olive]

well yeah

d15 is on par with most 240 aios

79F room temp

toasty

[wheat coral]

doesnt a d15 lose to like any aio at 100% pump speed

[earnest olive]

no

definitely the prettiest PC I've ever built

[little osprey]

still prettier than mine

[earnest olive]

testing the new cooler to make sure it works

[wheat coral]

oh its a mag 240

[earnest olive]

i got this back from the msi recall

cause i gave a customer a coreliquid that failed

[wheat coral]

its definitely an aio

[earnest olive]

she doesn't have time to bring her pc over yet

so i just tested it first

[little osprey]

nice monitor

[earnest olive]

thanks

[little osprey]

i could use one of those and a raspberry pi

mini pc build

[proud lance]
