also, seriously, you should reconsider spending 2.5k on a pc if you can't afford it without installments

potent portal
#

I linked one for 2k with a 12700kf and 3070 ti already

mossy venture
earnest olive
#

nobody needs a 2.5k pc for gaming

mossy venture
#

3060 ti 10400f for $1.2k

obsidian wigeon
#

see now that's something fair

#

im sad to see people overspending on a pc

mossy venture
#

A million times better price/perf (and better perf) than that cyberpower pc

little osprey
#

well its for my gf if i can find one cheapper it will be better

obsidian wigeon
#

dang it's on a big sale

mossy venture
#

At the one

#

I just posted

earnest olive
#

take it from someone with a 3090

#

this kind of performance is not necessary

mossy venture
#

And got downvoted five times

#

Idfk why

earnest olive
#

you can be perfectly happy gaming on a 3060 without breaking the bank

little osprey
#

10400 is meh but it should be ok...

potent portal
#

Yeah unless you're doing high end gaming at 4k you don't need to spend more than 2k max

mossy venture
little osprey
#

it has has 512gb

little osprey
earnest olive
#

10400 is absolutely fine for a 3060

mossy venture
#

A 2tb hdd is $50

little osprey
#

your right

obsidian wigeon
mossy venture
#

Or 1tb ssd is $80-100

obsidian wigeon
#

it's amazing wtf

#

probably "hurr durr i5"

potent portal
#

At that point you want a custom loop

earnest olive
#

nobody downvoted my first ever tech deal

#

feeling cute

mossy venture
#

I wonder what my first one is

#

Time to check

little osprey
#

like i wanna make her a good custom and all

#

but she dosent want one : (

untold beacon
#

Well I hooked up my 1070 from my other build but still that’s not gonna solve the issue

obsidian wigeon
#

eh getting that 3060ti abs rig is good value

mossy venture
#

My first tech deal is a scalped 3080 lmao

little osprey
#

ik that 3060 is good

#

Hmmm

potent portal
#

Yeah I can't find my first message that got votes there, I've been here too long lol

little osprey
#

terrible deal.

#

my first official tech deal was Cyberpowerpc 😂

#

ooof

potent portal
obsidian wigeon
#

my first post was like some ssd

#

and some combo with cpu+ssd

#

Question about replacing broken graohic card

#

I have a dell 8940 with a broken 1060 super nvidia oem card

#

Any recommendations on what to replace it wirh

earnest olive
#

1060 super doesn't exist

#

did you mean 1660 super

#

any graphics card that physically fits in the case and your power supply's power connectors will work

polar veldt
#

That's the one. Hard to read numbers

earnest olive
#

since it's a dell you won't be able to easily change the power supply

#

how many power pins does your card have? 6-8?

#

can you tell if your power supply has any extra graphics card power connectors?

south cliff
#

oem 1660 super i think has 8

#

nb its a 6 pin

#

@earnest olive

potent portal
#

It's also a 125W max power, can't adjust up. Oof.

south cliff
#

is that bad 125 watts?

potent portal
#

Most can do 135-150W

south cliff
#

well its a dell oem

#

card

potent portal
#

More power more frames

#

In theory

south cliff
#

rx 570>any card

little osprey
#

yo guys is this pc good

south cliff
#

its good

obsidian wigeon
#

why do you keep pushing for cyberpower?

little osprey
#

what you guys think

south cliff
#

ikr

little osprey
#

X

#

D

obsidian wigeon
#

also what price is it, I can't get in there rn

little osprey
#

idk

obsidian wigeon
#

i need vpn lol

south cliff
#

also i think a 120 mm aio isnt going to work with a 12700k

little osprey
#

1700

south cliff
#

1829

obsidian wigeon
#

oof

#

that's kinda bad

south cliff
#

yeah

#

it is

obsidian wigeon
#

no, it is bad

#

120mm aio on that thing

south cliff
#

thats wha ti said

#

you need like a good 280-360 on a 12700k

potent portal
#

Yep, that's a 280mm minimum needed I'd say

#

Stock power draw is crazy

south cliff
#

how much?

obsidian wigeon
#

200w is expected

potent portal
#

Spec says 190W

#

200+ is totally possible

#

My overclocked 5800X draws a lot less than that

obsidian wigeon
#

but if you're willing to use a tad perf

#

it could be efficient

south cliff
#

i cant elive gpu prices are going down

#

alot

potent portal
#

Right? It's amazing how fast they dropped

south cliff
#

only like 200 above msrp for a ftw3

#

3070

#

wellll

#

nvm

potent portal
#

3070 ti for $700

south cliff
#

500 for nvidia version

#

717 for ftw 3

#

im very happy

untold beacon
#

Hey guys

south cliff
#

hi

#

did it break

#

?

#

or is it alright?

untold beacon
#

Since the 980 is a PCIE 3.0 ssd

potent portal
#

It's fine in a 4.0 slot don't worry, PCIe is fully backward compatible

untold beacon
#

Okay

south cliff
#

i was about to say

untold beacon
#

So listen it pops up in task manger but it won’t let me use the ssd

potent portal
#

Go to disk management

south cliff
#

is it partitioned

potent portal
#

Shortcut by right clicking start button

obsidian wigeon
#

it has to be initialized and partitioned

south cliff
#

yeah

potent portal
#

It'll ask if you want to initialize GPT or MBR, pick GPT

untold beacon
#

I’m a just call it a night I’ve been doing this for the past 4 hours so I’m a head to bed

#

I’ll fix this problem tomorrow

south cliff
#

ok goodnight socialcredit

Goodnight man

I'm waiting for RTX 420

#

Asus TUF model has been that price very often lately. 🤘 Pog

potent portal
#

The one I found was the Gigabyte Eagle OC

fossil cedar
#

@plain cobalt what cpu cooler is that in build pics btw?

plain cobalt
fossil cedar
#

Ahh how is it?

plain cobalt
#

pretty good, rated at 280W TDP, enough to cool stock 10900

frigid night
worn wave
#

Nothing near that price

#

It's a Core 2 Duo

frigid night
#

I was thinking its worth closer to $200.

worn wave
#

Not even that

frigid night
#

Its an aio thats still pretty ok

worn wave
#

The specs are not worth that much

#

2GB of RAM, low to mid range Core 2 Duo from 2007

#

What would the use case of this PC be anyways?

frigid night
#

Alright. Well, I bought one for $10.

worn wave
#

It's no where near worth the listed price.

#

Well for $10 not bad at all then

#

Because that is all it is worth in reality

frigid night
#

Was hoping I could clean it up and get it running good and make a profit on it.

mossy venture
#

And even that's pushing it

worn wave
#

You would need to spend more than its worth to make it useable for modern day tasks

#

SSD and RAM upgrade at least

#

Unless you literally just clean it reinstall windows and try to sell it

#

Windows 10 would run awfully on that without a RAM or SSD upgrade

frigid night
#

Hm ok. Maybe I can just use it as a 2nd monitor.

fossil cedar
obsidian wigeon
#

^

earnest olive
#

you can get core2 duo PCs for free and 1080p60 IPS monitors for $25

#

no shot that's ever worth 200

frigid night
mossy venture
#

whatever you can find on facebook marketplace

earnest olive
#

check fb marketplace

mossy venture
#

i think the best i saw was a 1080p144hz VA panel for $55

#

ive seen 1080p60 for as low as 15

earnest olive
#

I've gotten multiple 1080p+ monitors at that price range

#

my current second monitor is a 1920x1200 IPS with full ergonomics that I'm currently using as a vertical monitor

#

also cost $27

mossy venture
#

i bought my third monitor for too much

#

i thought it was a good deal at the time

earnest olive
#

also most all in ones do not allow you to repurpose them as a monitor

mossy venture
#

thought 1440p75hz was sooo good for gaming

#

much better than my 1080p165hz

earnest olive
#

that pc is complete ewaste and it's a joke that they think they can get 400 for it

mossy venture
#

paid $120 for it off reddit

#

ooh

#

sips

#

p31 is on salefor $93 rn

#

its normally 115 right?

little osprey
#

around that

earnest olive
#

I think it's normally higher

#

good deal

mossy venture
#

should i post in tech deals

little osprey
#

if you think it’s a good deal

mossy venture
#

nvm

#

just posted it

earnest olive
#

for reference if you're trying to get into flipping @frigid night $400 got me a build with i7-6700K, 16gb 3200c14, gtx 970, 512gb dram SSD, vertical mount, custom cables, 3 RGB fans, 650w gold psu, all on a red theme

#

flipped for 650

#

that's the kind of hardware you should be looking at for 400, not a core2 duo all in one

mossy venture
#

my grandma spent like 1.5k on a god damn all in one

#

with a 4600h

#

when i found out it hurt me

earnest olive
#

and this was during the shortage so the GTX 970 was $140 of that

#

all in ones are a disgusting technology that needs to die

mossy venture
#

agreed

#

we should cool and all in one with an all in one

#

because that works

earnest olive
#

creates even more ewaste than your usual dell proprietary non upgradeable pc

#

12 year old dell monitors are still solid

frigid night
#

I only bought it because it landed in my store and the dude wanted smokes.

earnest olive
#

12 year old dell PCs are not

#

you bought that thing?

#

for how much?

#

oh no

frigid night
#

$10

earnest olive
#

still too much

frigid night
#

Lol

#

I'll find a use for it i suppose.

earnest olive
#

use it as an extremely power inefficient shop display

#

idk, the year is 2022, I'm seeing 4th and 6th gen desktops being offered for pennies/free sometimes

#

saw a full build with an i5-4590 + 8gb + 320gb hdd posted for $20 the other day

#

had a customer give me his old i5-4670 + 8gb + z87 mobo for free after upgrading his pc

mossy venture
#

i tried to sell a 3470 and 1030 build for $150 and didn't even get any interest lol

#

and that was back at the height of the shortage

#

when 1030s were going for 100-120

earnest olive
#

probably would have gotten a lot more interest if you put a 1050ti and asked for 200-250

mossy venture
#

yeah and i would've had to buy the 1050 ti for 150-200 if i didn't want to wait too long

#

also prolly wouldnt have fit

#

tiny case

#

barely fit the 1030

earnest olive
#

ah I was assuming it was an optiplex or something

mossy venture
#

if youve heard of it, thinkcentre

earnest olive

Office pc moment

frigid night
earnest olive
#

i use it solely for marketplace

#

ebay is an awful place to sell

frigid night
#

ah, I have it disabled on my phone. I deleted my account years ago.

#

just not my thing

#

no social media. Discord is about as close to it as I can handle.

earnest olive
#

facebook marketplace is really not social media but alright

frigid night
#

can I get to marketplace without having to access through facebook?

jagged ember
#

it's in the name

#

I don't think you can

frigid night
#

right I understand that, yall saying it isn't social media, but if I can't acces it without first going through facebook, then that makes it part of social media

jagged ember
#

but

#

that's not social media

#

Facebook itself is

#

a marketplace is not social media

stoic island
#

Facebook marketplace is somewhat separated from Facebook

#

You just log into Facebook

fossil cedar
#

Just google fb marketplace and login with Facebook

stoic island
#

It doesn't have much Facebook functions

frigid night
#

ok. I just don't have a fb and don't really want to make one,.

#

I might, but I really don't

fossil cedar
#

Need to have an account anyway

#

Or someone elses

analog pulsar
#

It's in the app itself

mossy venture
#

Marketplace still isn't social media

#

The marketplace is separate from social media. You don't participate in the social media aspect to use marketplace

analog pulsar
#

We still get photos and talk to people on market place

jagged ember
#

then every market place is social media?

#

ebay, best buy, newegg, amazon

#

Alibaba, taobao

analog pulsar

Isn't ebay and stuff categorized under social media in the play store and Apple store

they do have an entire category named 'shopping'

Any decent 1200w+ psu ?

at that wattage, most of them

the real question is why you need more than 1200w?

ornate condor

3090ti + 12900k hmm

viral ore

ok so like 850 will do it

#

1000 would be good

ornate condor

I currently have 1000w but I wonder if I overloading it

viral ore
#

oh psh not at all

if it were having problems it would shut off

ornate condor

12900k drawing almost 300w and gpus is almost 500w hmm

thats 800

Hello, Im planning to upgrade my PC and was looking for a new motherboard. Is there any difference in performance with 2 ram slot motherboard and 4 slot ram motherboard? I will only put 2 8gb 3200mhz ram on it.

No performance difference they're botch dual channel actually

140? oof imo jist wait till you can afford something better

get something worth paying for

@potent portal remember the problem I was having yesterday

#

Isn’t the 980 a gen three ssd

strong raft
#

The non-pro is, but 980 pro is solidly a top tier gen 4.

untold beacon
#

Ya

#

I made a stupid mistake @strong raft

#

I put the 980 in the gene 4 slot

#

🤦🏻‍♂️

earnest olive
#

a gen 3 drive is supposed to be able to work in a gen 4 slot

#

pcie is always backwards compatible

#

in fact, pcie is even backwards compatible with pci if physically adapted

potent portal
earnest olive
#

plenty of people running gen 3 ssds in motherboards that support gen 4

untold beacon
#

I mean

earnest olive
#

you can put a graphics card from the 90s in a z690 motherboard with pcie 5

#

and you can put a 3090ti in a motherboard from the 90s

#

and they will work

untold beacon
#

But if the slot even says gene 4 specifically on it

earnest olive
#

that's called marketing

untold beacon
#

Wouldn’t that mean gene 4 only

earnest olive
#

there is no such thing as a gen 4 slot that does not support gen 3

untold beacon
#

I mean then my ssd just might be

potent portal
#

Not if it's backwards compatible, that's the definition of backwards compatible

untold beacon
#

Screwed up

earnest olive
#

if your car advertises going from 0 to 60 mph in 14 seconds, does that imply that your car cannot accelerate to 30 mph?

potent portal
#

It's like playing PS4 games on a PS5

#

Who the crap knows

earnest olive
#

...we do

#

and we told you

#

lol

#

most things designed to go a certain speed can also handle going half of that speed

potent portal
#

You can try another slot if you really want but if it doesn't work then it's a bios issue, which I already recommended updating

earnest olive
#

your fans can run at 50% without exploding

untold beacon
#

Bro you don’t understand

earnest olive
#

your cpu can downclock to idle without exploding

untold beacon
#

It won’t even let me out of the BIOS

earnest olive
#

your psu can supply 375w without exploding

untold beacon
#

There is nothing for it to boot up on

earnest olive
#

why do you need to leave bios to update bios?

#

there is a tool to update bios... in the bios

untold beacon
#

I’ve even updated BIOS

#

It’s a infinite

#

Loop

earnest olive
#

then it's a faulty ssd

#

simple as that

potent portal
#

You didn't say you got the bios updated, I thought you were still a year behind

untold beacon
#

I just sends me back into the BIOS over and over and over again so as I said probably just a bad SSD

earnest olive
#

the first thing i said was that bios loop is normal behavior when a storage device is not detected

#

something's wrong with it

#

try a different one

untold beacon
#

I’ll just get a new one with the warranty

potent portal
#

A test for you: take out the SSD and try to boot the Windows installer usb

nintendo dsi and gameboy? nintendo switch and anything before it?

potent portal
earnest olive
#

i don't think a ps5 runs games from playstations older than 4 does it?

potent portal
#

Yes, there's PS2 and PS1 games on the PS store

earnest olive
#

virtual console emulation?

potent portal
#

But not PS3 only titles because Sony made the processor too weird

potent portal
earnest olive
#

i remember the original nintendo DS had the original gameboy advance cpu included to run the gameboy games with

#

that was kinda cool

#

running completely natively

strong raft
#

Oh I meant maybe the ps3 couldn't run ps2 games, or maybe ps4 couldn't run ps3 games. Something like that. -- anyways what about removing all drives and rebooting then trying to enter bios, then shutdown and pull cmos. Then reinstall a drive.

earnest olive
#

bios update would replace the need to clear cmos

potent portal
#

Original PS3 had hardware emulation of PS2, second gen had software emulation

earnest olive
#

it could be a physical seating issue

#

dunno if that has been tried

#

my friend has a 1tb nvme with no screw in her pc being held down with tape and prayers lol

#

still working so far

potent portal
earnest olive
#

listen to fal'cie

#

very smart guy

ornate condor
#

Umm sometimes wrong boot mode can couse not boot up 🤔

#

And not detecting drive

#

I would mess with boot options on bios

#

I had similar experience before lol

strong raft
#

Idk, but hopefully already tried uefi vs legacy boot settngs. Funny my z77/3rd gen was uefi but obviously doesn't have nvme.

potent portal
#

That wouldn't prevent the Windows installer from booting though

#

It boots both UEFI and CSM depending on config

ornate condor
#

I had similar issue like bios loop and not boot option were not detecting I fixed it by changing modes

#

And you have to save and restart after changing modes to boot options show up

strong raft
#

Idk, I'd personally still lean towards the P31 Hynix even w/ lower sequential specs that's aren't really a factor in general use or gaming.

potent portal
#

That's the same tier as the P31

#

Which really speaks volumes that most of the other A tier drives are 4.0 and the P31 trades blows

untold beacon
#

Update

#

Didn’t do what you said @potent portal because I thought of something else why not use my Storage unit from my old pc

#

So I used that for the build and I booted right up into it

#

And right now I’m selecting the 980

#

To be my main boot up drive

#

Well it’s taking a lot bit but I’ll get it done

#

Well that was a fail

#

So I’m going to get my windows hard drive now and see if I have to have windows with the boot up or what

untold beacon
#

Well can’t find the hard drive so

south cliff
#

did you partition the drive?

ruby sentinel
#

What if I use a fork for a pizza cutter?

native dew
#

Ok so basically

#

For context, I’m in the process of getting parts mainly for video editing, gaming, and streaming. So far I have a case, 850w PSU, 2x16 RAM, 4TB HDD, and a RTX 3060 shipping soon. I was told to get a better RTX (3070 or above) to compensate for the more higher end specs and I haven’t picked out a CPU/Motherboard yet.

I’m getting paid tmrw and I can pretty much afford most combos I see on Amazon.

What do y'all think?

#

I’m also getting a grant of $1,700 soon from my school but uh
Idk when that’ll be deposited to me so can’t rely on it rn he

A grant? You better keep your grades up or else

native dew
#

It’s all good I got straight A’s

ruby sentinel
#

I'm proud of you

potent portal
#

A good Z690 with a 12600k or 12700k would be good. Most of your usage tasks rely more on the GPU.

native dew
#

And my tuition this semester is already paid off

ruby sentinel
#

A 12700k is the best bang for your buck.

#

It gives you better performance than the 12600k and almost as good as a 12900k

You can get a 12700k for about 350

native dew
#

I heard Ryzen was better for Video Editing though

#

Unless it doesn’t really matter

ruby sentinel
#

I payed 374.84 for mine.

potent portal
#

Doesn't matter, 12th gen Intel matches or beats comparable Ryzen.

ruby sentinel
#

I mean. I guess you can go Ryzen.

potent portal
ruby sentinel
#

Intel is just way better.

potent portal
#

$340 12700k

ruby sentinel
#

Yup. But you aren't taking into account that taxes are added first and then the discount

#

So depending on where you live you could pay more.

potent portal
#

Taxes vary by region

#

If they're in Oregon there's no tax at all lol

ruby sentinel
#

That's what I said.

#

Oregon has no sales tax?

native dew
#

In Virginia

potent portal
#

Yep no sales tax in Oregon

ruby sentinel
#

Sales tax %?

vague oracle
#

Should be around 5% iirc

native dew
#

Yea

#

5.3

ruby sentinel
#

Damb

vague oracle
#

Close enough, I’ll take it

ruby sentinel
#

We have 10.25 over here.

native dew
#

Christ

ruby sentinel
#

Yup

vague oracle
#

I got 4% where I am

ruby sentinel
#

Lucky

#

Texas?

vague oracle
#

New York

potent portal
#

Do you need wifi on your motherboard?

vague oracle
#

Combined its around 7.25%

ruby sentinel
#

New York has 4%

#

Holy crap

vague oracle
#

You have to add in the county sales tax

potent portal
#

8.75% here

ruby sentinel
#

Alabama, Georgia, Hawaii, New York, and Wyoming, all at 4%

#

Colorado is the lowest.

#

2.9%

vague oracle
#

Pennsylvania lowest

#

0%

ruby sentinel
#

I feel scammed

native dew
ruby sentinel
#

I have to pay so much taxes.

ruby sentinel
#

It's just for flexible

potent portal
vague oracle
#

Nevermind, PA now has sales tax again apparently

native dew
#

Wifi

ruby sentinel
#

If you can't use a Ethernet than you need WiFi.

native dew
#

Excuse my dumbassery BlaneyPog

potent portal
ruby sentinel
#

Also, WiFi motherboards have Bluetooth

native dew
#

The instructions on my tower case also says it requires an aRGB 3v5pin motherboard iirc

potent portal
#

It has that

native dew
#

Ballin

frank stirrup
#

that board has everything u need

ruby sentinel
#

Yup

#

I personally don't like messing with extra cables and the lights are too much. But it can be cool.

native dew
#

Thanks for also picking out the CPU Cooler but I already had my sights on the Kraken Z63

ruby sentinel
#

Wow

#

Rich boy

native dew
ruby sentinel
#

I'm poor so I have a EVGA CLC 360

potent portal
#

That's the 280mm one right? Should be fine

ruby sentinel
#

There is only one size for the z63

frank stirrup
#

im so poor i have a smaller hyper 212 that idles my cpu at like 65C'

#

lolololol

ruby sentinel
#

Guys. You didn't look at my build. TwT

#

Look at it.

#

The link

native dew
ruby sentinel
#

Only 2 fans.

native dew
#

Or is that the x version

ruby sentinel
#

The z73 has 3 fans

native dew
#

Once again excuse my dumbassery

frank stirrup
ruby sentinel
#

Holy crap. My CLC is 5th best water-cooler

ruby sentinel
desert gulch
#

Hella loud

potent portal
#

It moves up a rank if you change the fans

ruby sentinel
#

But mine wasn't very loud.

#

Like 36 dbs at high

desert gulch
#

Sheesh you measured it?

ruby sentinel
#

Yes sir

desert gulch
#

Or other pples testing?

ruby sentinel
#

Wanna see?

desert gulch
#

Ye

ruby sentinel
#

Jk

#

I'm poor. Don't have the tools.

frank stirrup
#

lemme make my build list

ruby sentinel
#

Only have drills and construction stuff.

#

Don't have fancy sound stuff

frank stirrup
ruby sentinel

Not reliable

Headset mic

potent portal
ruby sentinel
#

I didn't know that it came with the LGA 1700 installed.

#

I asked the person to please send me one and they did.

potent portal
#

What case though?

ruby sentinel
#

I feel bad

#

No case, my dude.

potent portal
#

Open air? Rock on

ruby sentinel
#

I am building a custom case out of a furniture thing

#

No open air. Too much dust.

#

I'm allergic to dust too.

#

This is the work in progress

#

Just seeing how to put everything

potent portal
#

Interesting. It'll be fun to see when it's finished, put it in #build-pics

ruby sentinel
#

That's the plan.

#

Just need to wait like 2-3 months to get a GPU

potent portal
#

Can't afford right now or waiting for prices?

ruby sentinel
#

For the new ones to be announced

#

I want to see if it's worth.

potent portal
#

Ah, well those won't launch for at least 6 months

ruby sentinel
#

But supposedly the 4060 is as good or a little bit behind the 3080

#

It's okay. I can wait.

#

I'm pretty patient.

potent portal
#

4060 will be closer to February

ruby sentinel
#

Nah

#

They will probably need to put them first since Intel is going to put their first cheap GPU up for sale.

frank stirrup
#

my build

ruby sentinel
#

Nvidia will try to get a comeback

#

It's private.

frank stirrup
potent portal
#

Not from what I've seen, they're launching 4080 and 4090 first

ruby sentinel
potent portal
#

Because AMD is tougher competition than a newcomer like Intel

frank stirrup
frank stirrup
#

i thought about it

little osprey
#

Nvidia and intel always release the high end ones first

frank stirrup
#

and no

ruby sentinel
#

lol

little osprey
#

budget always follows Q1 or Q2 of the next year

ruby sentinel
#

I can't find any to buy!

#

I need the 3600

little osprey
#

you cant find 3600mhz ram?

potent portal
ruby sentinel
#

And yours is all mixed up. Why have 3200 and 3600

frank stirrup
#

me at one point

unknown.png
#
  • 2 more were in my pc
ruby sentinel
#

Nice fingers.

frank stirrup
#

sorry for causing ballistix shortage

little osprey
ruby sentinel
#

No!

#

I already bought the 3600

little osprey
#

ballistix is dirt cheap for eu

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

and its in stock there too

ruby sentinel
#

I don't want to buy 32gbs of 3200

frank stirrup
#

3200 was cheaper

#

by like 50%

little osprey
frank stirrup
#

so i got that when i upgraded to 32gb

potent portal
#

You need to know what to look for if you're doing 3200

ruby sentinel
little osprey
#

ok didnt say you did

#

i just mentioned it

frank stirrup
#

ballistix 3200 is as goos as the 3600 kit really

little osprey
#

yes

#

ballistix good

ruby sentinel
frank stirrup
little osprey
#

3200cl16 is fine

ruby sentinel
#

3600 cl16

little osprey
#

oh

frank stirrup
ruby sentinel
little osprey
#

overclock moment

ruby sentinel
#

UwU

frank stirrup
#

but imc cant take the load with 4 sticks

little osprey
#

w build

frank stirrup
#

so 3600c16 is what i do now

little osprey
#

case seem kinda expensive for that price

frank stirrup

#

That's what I got

little osprey
#

570 lacking but still better than my card i think

#

im biased to give you a better score because my pc is trash

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

yes but in general still better than my card

frank stirrup
#

top 15 globally bin

little osprey
#

so its good in my books

ruby sentinel
#

You're good in my books

potent portal
#

Get a GPU when you can and it'll be good, and also 5800X3D

little osprey
#

bruh

#

5800x3d lol

ruby sentinel
#

Great for gaming

#

Sometimes.

little osprey
#

i mean yeah after a gpu upgrade thats a good option

potent portal
#

By the time it's a good price in India next gen will be out, and it's cheaper than a platform upgrade

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

i think the cpu is still okay even after gpu upgrade

ruby sentinel
#

A maiden upgrade is better.

frank stirrup
#

and i fully plan a cpu upgrade next year

potent portal
#

As it stands, the parts are outdated but still halfway decent. I say 6.5/10

#

You'll need a new cooler for an upgrade too

frank stirrup
#

i built it 2020

potent portal
#

But you already know that

frank stirrup
#

so yeah makes sense

frank stirrup
little osprey
ruby sentinel
#

2 years old?

little osprey
#

i like how you bought corsair fan for $15

#

and 3 pack of cm 120mm fan for $30

#

why cant i send the image

ruby sentinel
#

My laptop is a HP pavilion x360 and it can beat up your desktop

little osprey
#

uhhh

#

oh my god

#

didnt mean for the image to send that many times

frank stirrup
ruby sentinel
#

Buy it

frank stirrup
#

i bought far far cheaper fans

#

amazon shipped these ones

frank stirrup
potent portal
frank stirrup
potent portal
#

I'm sure limited part selection played a factor

frank stirrup
#

it really did

#

good psus are hard to get here

potent portal
#

It's great for what it is then

frank stirrup
#

a tiers are very very tough to get and almost impossible to find in shops

potent portal
#

You wouldn't really need an A tier for that at least

frank stirrup
#

yeah but just saying

#

an a tier psu will start at 150$ converted

#

that pc will get my rx570 when i upgrade tho

#

also the prices listed arent what they say

#

i just dont remeber how much it was

potent portal
#

Figured

limber oyster
#

so....my co-worker asked me for a parts list for a dual gpu crypto-currency mining rig....

#

i have no idea what to look for

#

can anyone help?

fossil cedar
#

Not to make profit

limber oyster
#

he's the manager as well so...

potent portal
#

There's not enough time to pay off the investment cost before mining stops

fossil cedar
#

1 that's illegal and stealing from work, 2 still not worry it

limber oyster
#

and what you mean by mining stops?

potent portal
#

Ethereum mining is ending this year. 5 months give or take.

limber oyster
#

what about bitcoin or something?

fossil cedar
#

Eth is the most profitable to mine on a GPU

limber oyster
#

ahh

fossil cedar
#

Bitcoin is not mine-able on gpus anymore... To complex you need an asic

potent portal
#

Bitcoin cannot be profitably mined on a gpu

limber oyster
#

gotchya

#

so...how do people do it then?

fossil cedar
#

You would have to move to ergo or something which is meh

fossil cedar
limber oyster
#

whats that?

potent portal
#

Other coins might make about half as much per watt

#

Assuming they don't end too

limber oyster
#

(ik next to nothing about crypto if you cant tell)

potent portal
#

The current return on investment time is a year and a half for a LHR 3080. Ethereum mining ends this year. Then you're stuck with a GPU you have to sell at a loss because it's last gen.

limber oyster
#

so what im hearing is crypto mining is dying out comepletely?

fossil cedar
#

Basically your friend needed to get into this at least a year ago

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

There's been widespread criticism of crypto mining for how much power the network uses. There's a lot of social and political pressure on mined coins. Some countries and regions are banning it outright.

limber oyster
#

ik Cali banned it, they tried to ban pc gaming as well

potent portal
#

No that's a clickbait headline

strong raft
#

Eh all they did was stop prebuilts over a certain wattage

limber oyster
#

ahh

potent portal
#

Not even that, it's new efficiency standards. Some companies and some models didn't meet it.

limber oyster
#

the so called pcie 5.0 right?

#

that some advertised as using but didnt really

potent portal
#

No, that doesn't exist yet

strong raft
#

Well lots of "high power" prebuilts can't be shipped to CA anymore. Not a big deal though. Gpu prices alone got a lot better already

potent portal
limber oyster
#

so.. just tell him he's SOL?

potent portal
#

He'd be throwing away money

#

It's too late to invest into mining

#

Take that same money he would have put into a mining rig and buy some Ethereum.

limber oyster
#

gotchya

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

The standard exists yes but nothing uses it

fossil cedar
#

3090 ti does

potent portal
#

Sort of

fossil cedar
#

For the power connector

limber oyster
#

did the 3090 ti even release yet?

fossil cedar
#

I mean it does and there's a handful of psus now with the connector

#

Yep

potent portal
#

Yes

limber oyster
#

god, i cant imagine the price

fossil cedar
#

2k

limber oyster
#

or even needing a gpu with that much VRAM

fossil cedar
#

Good for editing workloads

#

And production stuff

limber oyster
#

and yet advertised as a "gaming GPU"

potent portal
#

4k HDR video editing

#

Yeah, it replaced the titan tier for this gen

limber oyster
#

i got into an argument with someone that the 3090/3090 ti is more akin to the Titan Class cards and NOT a gaming gpu. they tried to tell me that 3090/3090ti were gaming cards because that what nvidia advertised them as

potent portal
#

I can advertise a bottle of lemon water as revolutionary breakthrough in hydration, doesn't make it true

limber oyster
#

my point

fossil cedar
#

3090/ti is the titan card

limber oyster
#

or chevy's/ford's being advertised as the best quality vehicle

limber oyster
#

thats why it has 20+VRAM

celest horizon
#

They game better than the 3080/ti, that's all we need to know. Those who can justify the price (for gaming) can enjoy the marginally higher framerates.

#

Or if you just need more vram.

mossy venture
#

i need a 3090 ti for roblox

#

oh also for tetris

viral ore
#

I need 3090ti bc its so cold in my house

glossy gull
#

6700 xt just arrived got it for 560 from Newegg but now I wanna return it cuz I have the budget for the 6800 xt I’m going for 1440p 170 fps comp settings and 100 ish fps on single player games

#

Should I tho

#

Cuz I saw the 6700 xt only gets 130 fps on apex and I want 170 or 144 gos on comp games

#

And struggles on games like metro and stuff

fossil cedar
#

Maybe at high settings but I'd imagine you're going to be running medium/low if you're playing comp games?

glossy gull
#

Ya

#

Ned

#

Med

#

I have the m27q and I wanna get the most out of it

fossil cedar
#

Should be perfectly fine

#

I haven't played apex but the latest cod runs at like 200fps at 1440p low for me with a 3060 ti which is a bit weaker

glossy gull
#

What cpu

fossil cedar
#

R5 3600

glossy gull
#

I get 12400

#

Tomorrow

mossy venture
#

12400 is a great cpu

#

Good enough for a 3090

glossy gull
mossy venture
glossy gull

That’s why I’m so sad

Like I wanna die

mossy venture
#

Anyways, whatever you want to do. Could post to r/hardwareswap looking to trade your 6700xt + cash for a 6800xt

#

6900xts also available for 1k fairly often, or 3080 on evga available for 920 fairly often too

glossy gull
#

Damn

#

I can refund

#

But it’s 100 usd to refund

#

Like ship it

what's the price difference if you'd bought the 6800xt instead

That ain't worth it imo

ish

glossy gull

Ya

jagged ember
#

not worth a return imo

rich void
# glossy gull Wdym

Some places charge a restocking fee for returns idk the exact Newegg policy but if you opened it that may matter

#

imo not worth a return as well

glossy gull
#

Damn

rich void
#

I returned a card to Newegg unopened and they refunded me everything but the initial shipping ($10), both reps I spoke to specifically asked if I opened it (did not)

jagged ember
#

could do ebay or fb marketplace

glossy gull
#

So depressing lmao

jagged ember
#

then buy 6800xt

rich void
#

That was also right around when the returns scandal hit though so idk I may have gotten lucky

#

FB marketplace or something is probably better, ebay fees will hurt so you'd have to sell for a good bit over MSRP to break even

glossy gull
#

So rip

glossy gull
#

So they 100 percent won’t refund it

#

?

obsidian wigeon
#

They will

#

But you pay shipping fees

glossy gull
#

Damn

#

Only cuz it’s opened

glossy gull
glossy gull
#

Fees is 130 euro

#

6800 xt is 950

#

If I refund

obsidian wigeon
#

oof

#

that's a steep fee

glossy gull
#

Ya

#

Israel

#

Idk what to do

#

6800 xt is 20 percent more performance

#

12th grade?

#

Or collage

#

Congrats man

#

Lmao

rich void
#

You done this/next month?

glossy gull
#

Like it’s back in the box

#

I opened it for a sec to see it

rich void
#

I mean it's a good card, imo just stick with it.
Your other option is to try to sell it at MSRP locally imo

glossy gull
#

The thing is

#

I have a 2060

#

Used

#

For a year

#

I can sell

rich void
#

Ah, so got a bit to go. Glad you're done with that final, keep at it!

strong raft
#

Still build chat, lol.

glossy gull
#

Even if I pay 100 usd for shipping

rich void
#

I personally do not. $400 more for 20% more performance is rough

glossy gull
#

More then 400

#

I mean

#

The 400 for the card yhe 400 more

#

But 100 more for shipping

rich void
#

Feels like a lot to me, but it's not my money/I wouldn't be the one trying to sell the 6700xt

mossy venture
#

p400a digital, 4000d airflow

rich void
#

I mean it depends on what kind of water-cooling support you want, how much glass you want, if you want RGB, etc

rugged sparrow

I have a prebuilt right now and want to switch cases during the summer

mossy venture
#

p360a

rich void

P400a, lian LI mesh 2, cooler master td500 iirc, there are a bunch of good ones

I'd personally look more at the lian LI if I was building my PC again (I have the p400a)

rugged sparrow
#

Also is there a way to see what cpu cooler you have

mossy venture
#

by looking at it

rugged sparrow
#

Hmmm

strong raft

It's probably crap. Could take a pic and show us. Pepe_KEK

my favorite part of the strix prebuilt is that it doesn't use any strix components

glossy gull
#

Ironic

#

People buy prebuilt like it’s ice cream

Then their ice cream falls on the ground like the money they wasted

rugged sparrow

I got it in January for 1700

little osprey
#

Eh

rugged sparrow
#

Should I get a new cpu cooler because I did a stress test and it peaks around 90.5

rich void
#

That's hot.

#

Case is likely an issue too though tbf

rugged sparrow
#

Does only come with one exhaust fan

Lmao

glossy gull

Like visuallyngood

But 0’airflow

desert gulch
rugged sparrow
#

b-550m asus prime does it support rgb fans and AIO, I don’t know much about mobos

desert gulch
#

5800x can be the hottest running 5000 chip out there

#

It'll support aio

#

And should support RGB aswell, it's more a question of the amount of ports/headers

glossy gull
rugged sparrow
#

I could care less about the money part of it

earnest olive
#

90c is normal for a 5800x

#

look at how much power it's drawing at 90c

#

my 5800x hits 90c under a 360mm aio at 165w

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

if it's 90c at 105w that's a big oof

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

probably

rugged sparrow
#

If I get a 4000D airflow case what would be a good cpu cooler

fossil cedar
#

That's a case not a cooler

#

But it would be a better case yes

rugged sparrow
#

Well ya I was just wondering if there is a certain cooler that works best with the case

fossil cedar
#

Arctic liquid freezer ii 360mm would be the best one

rugged sparrow
#

I would assume you would have to front mount it right?

earnest olive
#

ye

#

top mount doesn't support 360 in that case

#

you can do 280 top

fossil cedar
#

280 is almost as good but 360 is better if you can

rugged sparrow
#

The 4000D come with 3 case fans as well, so I would be able to put 2 on the top and one on the back

fossil cedar
#

2 case fans

#

But yeah you can

#

I think the budget went from 400 to 600 maybe even 800

frigid night
#

I am trying to get that out of her.

#

she all of a sudden stopped responding when I posted that lol

fossil cedar
#

Lol it's g 1 sec

frigid night
#

I guess the most demanding use would be light gaming.

desert gulch
#

looks fairly good to me

#

i personally would swap to 12100f and b660

#

if really looking to cut costs, even swap to h610, but youll lose out on a bit if you doo

#

but if looking at a 3200cl16 kit, h610 makes sense for a 12100f

mossy venture
#

So it will clock down to jedec

desert gulch
#

yes

#

but

frigid night
#

idk that she really needs more than that. She'll want to watch movies and do facebook and play games here and there

desert gulch
#

itll work at 3200

mossy venture
#

No it wont

desert gulch
#

so doesnt really matter too much either way

#

ye it will
