Ah

unborn mesa
#

Okay?

mossy venture
#

Makes no sense to pair it with a 6900xt

#

It's not because it has an igpu that makes it bad

unborn mesa
#

Regardless ive said multiple times i built the pc without the graphics card

mossy venture
#

It's because of the performance

unborn mesa
#

For me ive had decent performance out of it

mossy venture
#

I'm not telling you what to do, making suggestions and stating facts

unborn mesa
#

Yea but still dealing with the gpus so thats why ive kept it

#

For example this gpu i have made my temps for cpu rise of higher than with a red devil

#

Which i might trade

#

Then might use that money to get a 5900x

broken lake
#

What should I look for in a good mother board?

mossy venture
mossy venture
#

Or is it p

unborn mesa
#

Which is what i asked but everybody was saying it wasnt worth it to change

#

Its a

frank delta
#

That’s the lowest I’ve seen a 5900x I’ve been seeing them for $399 on Newegg and amazon

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Yea they have

mossy venture
#

12700f is $310 and same perf

#

But go away has a b550

unborn mesa
#

How you remember my specs tho

mossy venture
#

Or x570, but more likely a 550

unborn mesa
#

Yea bundled for a discount

broken lake
mossy venture
#

One second

broken lake
#

Oh nvm

#

Found it

#

There was a dash before the a

unborn mesa
#

@mossy venture 5700g 250 at microcenter how much could i resell for

mossy venture
#

@broken lake

unborn mesa
#

Usd btw

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Hmm

#

Should i take apart the pc and have it rebuilt by the weekend?

mossy venture
#

Idk

#

Depends what you're doing with it

#

And what you're changing

unborn mesa
#

Wont be able to get cpu until i sell the 5700g

#

Cpu and gpu

mossy venture
#

Ah

unborn mesa
#

Imma do it get max performance that i can out of it and not have to upgrade for like 2-4 years

mossy venture
#

Can list the cpu while it's still in your pc

unborn mesa
#

Yea but during the week since im at work all day i dont use it

#

I would return it but its been longer than 60 days

#

If i had put some warranty on it i could break some pins and return it and they would give me my money back

broken lake
#

I need to sell my current pc

#

It’s booty

unborn mesa
#

What specs

#

I got a dude that lowkey got scammed

broken lake
#

I use sli 1080 tis

#

And it’s Alienware

#

So it’s outdated and bad

unborn mesa
#

Bruh lemme find you what he got from microcenter

#

For according to him 1200

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

But he has an ultrawide monitor so im guessing he paid 1200 for the pc and the ultrawide

#

Pretty booty

broken lake
unborn mesa
#

Nah you got better build than alot of people

earnest olive
#

do you care about overclocking?

#

3090 FE is significantly weaker than some other more premium models

#

my strix is maybe 10% better than FE

#

it's also got mediocre cooling

unborn mesa
#

Orange lets do some benchmarks after i get my new cpu?

earnest olive
#

but if you just undervolt it and don't push max performance then it's fine

earnest olive
unborn mesa
#

Undervolting comes in clutch for me and my fish tank of a case

earnest olive
#

time spy is radeon favored

unborn mesa
earnest olive
#

air cooled 6800xt can already beat 3090ti

unborn mesa
#

Imma change to that and buy a 5900x

earnest olive
#

lol why on earth are you moving from a 6900xt toxic to a 6900xt red devil

unborn mesa
#

Yea i saw some dude overclocked it and beat a 3090 by a bit

earnest olive
#

isn't that a downgrade?

unborn mesa
#

Not really

#

Same thing

earnest olive
#

like they're both XTXH but red devil is air cooled

unborn mesa
#

Only aio is the difference

#

Yea

earnest olive
#

yeah that's a pretty big difference

#

i'm thermally limited to 550W

#

because it's an air cooled card

unborn mesa
#

But the toxic is messing with my cpu temps and ion want it.

earnest olive
#

could probably push 700-800W

#

...no, your stock cooler is

#

lmao

unborn mesa
#

Nah

#

Stock cooler was fine with the red devil

#

was always under 60

earnest olive
#

why on earth would you want to downgrade your gpu just to keep your stock cooler

#

i do not understand

unborn mesa
#

Cuz its cheaper for basically same performance

earnest olive
#

just get a $30 air cooler and watch your temps drop by 30C

#

lmao it's really not

unborn mesa
#

Plus then i can get better cpu

#

Already got a 60 dollar air cooler

#

Just not here yet

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

💀

unborn mesa
#

Yea ik

#

But still i can use that money to get some storage

earnest olive
#

how much is the price difference

unborn mesa
#

Well red devil is msrp at 999

#

And toxic is 1300

#

Red devil will end up at 1075 with tax

earnest olive
#

oh wait

#

red devil isn't xtxh

unborn mesa
earnest olive
#

yeah the toxic is gonna have better performance and the gap will widen if you oc it

#

i was thinking about red devil ultimate

unborn mesa
#

Price dropped

earnest olive
#

red devil non-ultimate isn't xtxh

unborn mesa
#

I had the ultimate card

earnest olive
#

at the current $50 difference i'd pick the toxic every time

#

$50 is worth it for the aio

broken lake
unborn mesa
#

Imma have to see because im not tryna throw more money into pc for storage and cpu

earnest olive
unborn mesa
#

Fe 3090 looks clean imo

earnest olive
#

if you don't overclock the differences between models are almost nothing

#

for nvidia cards

broken lake
#

Bet

earnest olive
#

radeon cards can have some wider differences between models at stock

#

due to the "hidden" XTX and XTXH bins

#

still nothing too significant unless you OC them and maybe BIOS mod

#

i honestly really want a 6900xt toxic lol

broken lake
#

If I ever changed my mind could I still overclock the fe?

#

It just wouldn’t be as good?

earnest olive
#

of course you can, it'll just have noticeably worse performance than some more premium models

unborn mesa
earnest olive
#

could be as much as 15% weaker than a kingpin 3090

#

full OC vs full OC

unborn mesa
#

You have a 3090 right orange?

earnest olive
#

that i already barely use

unborn mesa
#

Yea no stay

#

Keep the 3090

#

Not a huge difference but why downgrade if stock

earnest olive
#

i want a 6900xtxh purely because radeon OC is more interesting

unborn mesa
#

Somewhat

earnest olive
#

i definitely do not run cards at stock lol

unborn mesa
#

Yea i figured

#

But still

earnest olive
#

i'll die before i run a gpu at stock

#

gpu overclocking is way too easy to give up on the free performance boost

#

language

unborn mesa
#

Bruh

earnest olive
#

as it is i can hit 3090 performance at 3070 power or 3090ti performance at 3090ti power

mossy venture
earnest olive
#

what case do you have anyways

mossy venture
#

Even when playing val I leave my mining oc and miner on

earnest olive
#

i mean.. why wouldn't you

mossy venture
#

Ye

#

Still get 165fps at max settings and 40mh/s

earnest olive
#

my laptop still pulls like 40 mh/s while running val at 440 fps uncapped

#

or 50 mh/s at 240 fps capped

mossy venture
#

Mm

earnest olive
#

i get 110 mh/s on my 3090 while playing league or genshin

mossy venture
#

Only times I've turned it off recently were for call of duty

#

And those were like 6 hours total in the last month

earnest olive
#

yeah i only turn it off for heavier games

#

which i almost never play

#

but you know

#

mining is pretty much dead now and i no longer have gf

#

maybe i play heavier games more now

mossy venture
#

Yeah, I make like $2 a day

#

Less actually

earnest olive
#

i tell myself as i queue up for another game of league

mossy venture
#

Im either spending my mining profits on a g27q soon or on a new cpu and mobo

#

Still broken between the two

#

But leaning towards monitor

earnest olive
#

i'd expect a 3060ti to be making like $1.70/day now

frigid night
mossy venture
#

About that

earnest olive
#

my profits instantly nosedived from $15/day to $12/day as soon as LHR was defeated lmao

frigid night
earnest olive
#

please post your resume

unborn mesa
mossy venture
#

My miner shut off yesterday, but in about 14 hours I've gotten 1.1

earnest olive
#

yeah

mossy venture
#

Higher than I would've though

earnest olive
#

you seem to hate your case a lot so i wonder why you bought it

unborn mesa
#

An ole glass fish tank called antec p129

#

120

#

Its looks good

#

But sucks for airflow

earnest olive
#

looks like an o11 clone

unborn mesa
#

Which i realized lately after cpu started hitting 85c

earnest olive
#

airflow should be fine

#

...no, that's your stock cooler lol

#

not your case

unborn mesa
#

How if in the same case it was staying under 60

earnest olive
#

my 5800x hits 90c under a 360mm aio

#

zen 3 just runs hot

unborn mesa
#

🤷‍♂️

#

All ive noticed is a spike in temp after i changed gpus

#

So im blaming that

#

Which isnt smart but helps ease my mind 🙂

earnest olive
#

you should expect an increase in temps when using your gpu aio as air intake

#

but not 25c

#

it's 100% your stock cooler

unborn mesa
#

Yea ik

earnest olive
#

but hey, at least you're aware you're wrong

unborn mesa
#

I was meaning to change it but ya know its alot easier to ignore issues when you only use the pc for a couple hrs every weekend

#

But nah it started when i started playing cod again so maybe that could be doing sum “poop”

earnest olive
#

i hit 82c in loading screens in cod with 5800x + 360mm aio

unborn mesa
#

Loading screens it drops

earnest olive
#

in a better case

#

with 12 case fans

unborn mesa
#

But in the game im getting very decent fps and just high temps on cou

#

Cpu*

earnest olive
#

and half disassembled for better airflow

unborn mesa
#

I took my panel off last night so

earnest olive
#

don't care about dust buildup i got a leaf blower to clean my pc

unborn mesa
#

Lmao nice

earnest olive
#

can dust it every day if i want to

unborn mesa
#

But yea the intakes on a radiator isnt smart

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Imma just use a pressure washer 👌

earnest olive
#

my case is the one that your case is cloning

#

except it's got a top radiator mount

#

so i can mount radiator as exhaust

unborn mesa
#

Yea i was looking at that case but was out my budget👌

earnest olive
#

i bought it used for 100

unborn mesa
#

Got it on a veryy good discount

#

Got mine for 80 new

#

Cuz nobody was buying so very good discount

earnest olive
#

almost every part in my pc was bought used

unborn mesa
#

Oh everything in mine is new

#

Especially the 7 gpus ive put in it

earnest olive
#

got a ~$5k pc for ~$2.5k that way

unborn mesa
#

Nice

earnest olive
#

7... 3sKannaSus

unborn mesa
#

Nah was like 4 with the toxic

#

1660 super cuz i got bored of roblox on a 5700g

#

Then from that to 68 red devil then to 69 red devil and now 69 toxic

#

Brooo i could see if i can get my old 69 red devil for 899 😯😯😯

earnest olive
#

i'll take your 6900xt toxic

#

going to bench it on a pcie 2.0 x1 slot

unborn mesa
#

You can buy

#

Since if i sell to you i cant buy till next month

#

Lemme get msrp ill ship to you at ur expense

#

@earnest olive is the 5950x much different from the 5900x

earnest olive
#

i was joking i don't need it

#

also no selling in this server

#

sell it on r/hardwareswap

#

5800x3d > 5800x > 5950x > 5900x in gaming

#

not sure where the 5700x fits in there

fossil cedar
#

We told you yesterday there's no point just get a 3080 12gb for like 1k - no FE version of it

earnest olive
#

5800x > 5950x > 5900x but they're all within 1-2% of each other

#

if you're just gaming get a 5800x3d and be done with it

mossy venture
earnest olive
#

5700x is probably below 5900x but basically the same?

mossy venture
#

5700x is a 5800x with 200mhz lower clock speeds

#

and much cooler

earnest olive
#

and he told me one of his clients dropped 10k on a pc that can't launch csgo

#

i don't even want to know how

mossy venture
#

jesus

unborn mesa
#

Ayo what

earnest olive
#

2x 3090ti

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

yeah

fossil cedar
#

💀

earnest olive
#

it's really weird, he says they just like to brag on social media that "oh yeah i spent this weekend getting challenger in north america"

#

everyone knows it wasn't them

fossil cedar
#

Time to grind overwatch 2

unborn mesa
earnest olive
#

oof

#

prob just get a 5700x then

#

or hop over to alder lake and sell 5700g + mobo together

unborn mesa
#

Hm

#

Mobo was 199 cpu was 250

fossil cedar
unborn mesa
#

No thanks

frank delta
unborn mesa
#

785 almost enough to buy two

#

Whoever selling that making a good profit

mossy venture
#

My friends 3080 build cost 1.6k

earnest olive
#

at that price you're not buying a 5800x3d anymore

#

just a 5800XD

fossil cedar
#

It's a 3rd party seller, doubt anyone is buying tho

unborn mesa
#

Yea most likely

#

5900x still cheaper

earnest olive
#

also

#

i bought an antec case yesterday

#

i had to return it for false advertising

frank delta
earnest olive
#

👍

fossil cedar
#

In what world is 5900x cheaper than 5700x?

earnest olive
#

think he means cheaper than 5800x3d lol

unborn mesa
#

449 micro center for 3d

#

370 for 5900

unborn mesa
earnest olive
#

well, the 5800x3d is a significantly better gaming cpu than the 5900x

#

so buy the 5900x if you actually need 12 cores

#

otherwise just get the 5700x lol

fossil cedar
#

Oh yeah 5900x has been going for like 380 on Amazon

unborn mesa
#

259

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

item description said ARGB fans

unborn mesa
earnest olive
#

it was actually molex

#

the fans and lighting were both controlled by some proprietary molex solution

unborn mesa
#

Wack

#

5700x 259

earnest olive
#

antec nx410

#

returned it and bought ol' reliable p360a instead

frigid night
earnest olive
#

serves me right for trying to cheap out a bit

#

well, haven't returned it yet, going to on the way to school today

#

in like an hour i guess

unborn mesa
frigid night
#

I wanted to suggest it earlier, but I didn't want to be "that guy"

unborn mesa
#

Go ahead and suggest stuff its ok

#

Im just tryna see how i can try to upgrade a bit without hurting my pockets too much

earnest olive
#

board i'm using for this build doesn't have any ARGB headers so i was hoping to use an ARGB splitter on one of the included "ARGB" fans to power the ARGB on the CPU cooler

#

but nope, not gonna work

frank delta
#

Even though the 5700x is 259 if it’s just for gaming I’d go to 12600k

earnest olive
#

P360A i've built in before and know for a fact that the built in case controller supports an extra ARGB connection

#

so i know for sure it'll work for what i'm trying to do

unborn mesa
#

If i do another build imma do an intel build tho

#

Depending on what its for ofc but yea

frigid night
#

the 12600k is so perferct for gaming

frank delta
#

See Ryzen makes sense sometimes but I’m an Intel fan boy makes me feel like I’m not broke

frigid night
#

overclocks easily/nicely

earnest olive
unborn mesa
#

Intel cheaper

frigid night
#

but better 😛

#

right now anyways

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

apparently ryzen owners are broke 💀

#

damn

unborn mesa
#

Not spending as much money on amd parts so dont spend much money therfore not broke

unborn mesa
earnest olive
#

i'll take my crappy little 3090 build and go back under my bridge now

unborn mesa
#

Nah

#

Lemme see ur build tho

frigid night
#

yeah orange we'll show you ours if you show us yours

earnest olive
frigid night
#

😛

frank delta
earnest olive
unborn mesa
#

Yea take that back

#

He aint broke

frigid night
earnest olive
#

ah yes, form your entire opinion based on a ryzen 3 1200

frank delta
#

Probably makes 2x more than I do

earnest olive
#

maybe you should try dailying what intel had in that segment at the time

#

nice dual core i3-7100

#

LOL

unborn mesa
#

Lmao

frank delta

🤣

Orange flex on me😫

frigid night
#

Orange. How much do you make?

unborn mesa
#

Nice set up tho

#

This mine

frigid night
#

your answer depends if I submit that resume 😄

unborn mesa
#

Lmaoo

frank delta
# unborn mesa

How do you like the p120? I’ve always thought about getting one but idk about the psu being mounted up top

frigid night
#

I mean not so long ago most psu were top mounted

frank delta
#

Fair.

unborn mesa
#

Eh alot of people said its bad for airflow but imo just keep the bottom lifted decently and the back away from a wall and you be alright

earnest olive
#

i am a student mushstare

frigid night
#

wow

#

what do

earnest olive
#

i work two side jobs, do a bit of mining, and have some money in stocks

frigid night
#

ok

earnest olive
#

comp sci

frigid night
#

makes sense

#

duh

unborn mesa
frank delta
fossil cedar
unborn mesa
#

Yea o11 should be great for airflow imo

earnest olive
#

i don't have to pay my own bills yet so that income goes a lot farther

#

o11 isn't great but it's not bad at all

#

great would be fractal torrent or something

frank delta
earnest olive
unborn mesa
#

Well a bit better than the p120 since itll fit the 3 exhaust up top

frank delta
#

See how bad the bottleneck is

unborn mesa
#

Rn i have 1 exhaust and 6 intake

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

yeah

#

but still

#

2 core i7

#

in 2019

fossil cedar
#

Yeah very intel moment

earnest olive
#

should not be legal lmao

fossil cedar
#

Indeed

unborn mesa
frank delta
unborn mesa
#

Oof

#

Uhh itll come close

frank delta
#

Lmao

unborn mesa
#

Maybe throw a led strip and you beat orange by a few feet

frank delta
#

Nahhh I think I can get a percentage or 2 higher

fossil cedar
unborn mesa
#

Most likely not in stock

fossil cedar
#

It is in EU anyway

unborn mesa
#

Out

#

Wanna ship me it 👉👈

fossil cedar
#

Lol just click the link n check if it's available in us

unborn mesa
#

Its not its out of stock

#

Thats what i meant by “out”

#

Its fine tho ill just get the 59x and be able to do other stuff other than games

frank delta
#

I like how the 5900x is still MSRP on amd website

unborn mesa
#

Its discounted on microcenter which is why im tryna get it

#

But i dont get paid til thursday

fossil cedar
frank delta
#

I almost got the 5900x but I settled for a 11700kf for like $260

fossil cedar
unborn mesa
#

Lmao

frank delta
#

That actually is pretty funny lmao imagine if the 3d was in stock and someone still bought the 5800x from amd website

mossy venture
frank delta
#

I believe it was last Thursday I think

mossy venture
#

rip

#

id return it if you can

#

12600k better and cheaper

frank delta
#

Well I’d have to buy a new motherboard then as well

mossy venture
#

when did you buy the mobo

frigid night
#

quick question before I turn PC off. my LFII is front mounted in 4000D with the fans in between the chassis and rad.. I'm about to change the fans out.. should I completely remove the AIO (like from the cpu) or will I be fine moving the rad a bit without messing anything up?

frank delta
#

A week ago

unborn mesa
#

You be itht

#

Ight*

mossy venture
#

you can return that too then :p

#

it wont be a huge difference ig, but 12600kf is $260 and a mobo is $130

unborn mesa
#

Just return the pc built and charge them for building it

mossy venture
#

and equal to a 5800x

frank delta
#

Eh see that would be the smart thing to do but im lazy and honestly 11700kf with 3080 it’s not bad at all

#

Def better options I could’ve gone with but🤷‍♂️

unborn mesa
#

Just like mf fr

#

Mf clone at this point

broken lake
unborn mesa
#

Pato saying theres no point to a 3090

mossy venture
#

or just get a 6900xt

broken lake
#

It’s $500 more

mossy venture
#

which performs better than 3090 half the time

broken lake
#

And yea

unborn mesa
#

Thats the prices of 3080 and 6900xt for me atm

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Yea microcenter waxin for 1200 for a 3080

#

Id rather get on newegg

mossy venture
#

legit $890 more for 10% more performance

#

all to "flex" on people that do not give a damn about what you wasted money on

broken lake
#

Yea

#

Pretty much

unborn mesa
#

Bacca so you said to keep the toxic card and just change cpu and add a the ak620 right?

mossy venture
#

i believe sips said to

#

i dont know enough about diff amd models to give input on that

unborn mesa
#

@broken lake imma be honest dude thats pointless nobody is gonna see ur pc

mossy venture
#

sips knows his stuff though

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Sips?

mossy venture
#

i will not help with that

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Oh sorry im new to alot of people here

mossy venture
#

youre fine

broken lake
#

What about 3080 ti compared to 3080

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Isnt it a 200 usd difference

mossy venture
#

only difference between 3080 12gb and 3090 is maybe 10% gaming perf and 12gb more vram

#

which in reality will never be utilized for gaming

#

and most other tasks as well

frank delta
#

12gb can be found for cheaper then some 10gb models rn

unborn mesa
#

@broken lake i would recommend just get a 6800xt

#

6900xt also kinda pointless

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

But it is a 100 dollar difference

mossy venture
#

great price

unborn mesa
#

That is decent ngl

mossy venture
#

meh cooling, might need new thermal paste/pads

mossy venture
frank delta
#

Yea I wish I would’ve saw that before I got my 3080 but then again mine fits the build for an extra $200🤣

unborn mesa
#

Decent

mossy venture
#

3080 10gb hasnt even been that low

#

cheapest 3080 weve seen that doesnt sell out instantly

frank delta
#

My 10gb was 1k

#

It’s the vision oc model

mossy venture
#

i bought a pre built

unborn mesa
#

Wanna trade?

mossy venture
#

had to rebuild

#

then bought an overpriced case and overpriced terrible psu from a local pc shop

#

bc i didnt know any better

#

and ended up with a 1.8k 3060 ti build

frank delta
#

Hell yea

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

meh model, but decent enough

#

and cheap asf

frank delta
#

I could really return my 3080 get that one and still have about $200 to spare

fossil cedar
#

Nice, bad model but hey it's a 3080 12gb nonetheless for 840 or 810 if you do the rebate

unborn mesa
#

Do it rhe

#

Then

mossy venture
#

new thermal paste would make it decent enough

fossil cedar

Im financially stupid but i make more than what i spend stupidly

Im a highschool drop out whatever i make above minimum wage is good

I spend like 16 hrs a day driving dude

frank delta
#

With all the benefits I make I technically make like 2k a paycheck but I don’t see a lot of the money

broken lake
#

Ok so I feel like if I buy a 3090 I’m gonna get bullied

mossy venture
#

indeed you will

frank delta
unborn mesa
#

Tbh dude buy what you want everybody already gave you advice now its up to you

broken lake
#

So if I buy a 3080 what cpu should I get?

earnest olive
#

i bought a 3090 for one reason only

#

pays itself off better than a 3080ti

#

but now that LHR has been defeated, no reason to not just get a 3080ti

broken lake
#

You use it for mining?

unborn mesa
#

Mining orange?

earnest olive
#

i mine on it whenever i'm not fully using it for gaming yes

unborn mesa
#

Whats ur hashrate on that

earnest olive
#

and i mostly play lighter games with my friends or do homework so most of the time it's mining to some degree lol

#

125

unborn mesa
#

Dang

earnest olive
#

you can do 120 on a 3080ti now though so

#

no reason to get a 3090

unborn mesa
#

6900xt only hits 60-65

earnest olive
#

3080ti used to be limited to around 90

unborn mesa
#

Yea i heard about that

earnest olive
#

lol yeah rx 6000 series sucks for mining

unborn mesa
#

Yea it does tbh

earnest olive
#

you can push 58 from a 5700xt

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

But i enjoy it for gaming and other stuff

earnest olive
#

6800xt?

#

lol what

mossy venture
#

not as good as fhr 3060 ti/70/80 or 5700xt

unborn mesa
mossy venture
#

gets like 62mh at like 150w iirc

earnest olive
#

LOL

#

that's "good"???

#

5700xt can do 58 at <100w

unborn mesa
#

Thats not good at all tbh

Hey guys, so I know basically nothing about pc. I bought one for my little brother for gaming. We put it together and I’m having trouble connecting to the internet. Im using a wire and it’s not working. I YouTubed it and someone videos are talking about updating the drivers, I have no idea what that is. Hope someone could point me to the right direction. He has a evga 3070, b550-a motherboard. Not sure if that helps. Thank you!

earnest olive
unborn mesa
#

6500

mossy venture
#

its not good, but it doesnt "suck at mining"

earnest olive
#

it sucks relative to the investment

#

you can buy 2 5700xts for the price of a 6800xt

mossy venture
#

close enough

unknown.png
earnest olive
#

at peak prices for the 5700xt the 6800xt was still 50% higher

unborn mesa
#

5700xt is more cost efficient

earnest olive
#

more cost efficient and way more power efficient

unborn mesa
#

But nvidia is preferred for minign

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Im just saying not going against you

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Im at work so im jumping in and out of conversation

earnest olive
#

if the justification for it doesn't suck is "there's worse" then we can say the gt 710 doesn't suck because there's worse

#

nobody buys a 6800xt with mining in mind

#

3060ti/3070 is also much better for cheaper

#

or 2x rx 6600/rx 580

unborn mesa
#

Orange what do you mine

earnest olive
#

way too many better options

#

eth

unborn mesa
#

How much does the 3090 make a day?

earnest olive
#

way too little now

#

i'd stop mining if i didn't have solar

unborn mesa
#

Ah

#

Thats smart ngl

earnest olive
#

down to $3.61/day now

#

yeah

unborn mesa
#

I tried mining for a full 24 hr

earnest olive
#

as a bonus having solar means i don't have to feel guilty about environmental impact of mining

#

👼

unborn mesa
#

Only made a bit over 2.30

#

Lmao

earnest olive
#

technically, me mining infinitesimally reduces the profits of big mining farms

#

helping the environment?

#

that one's too much of a stretch

stoic island
#

Nah, because they make less money they get more rigs to make more money

earnest olive
#

damn

#

u got me

stoic island
#

Monie drives people

earnest olive
#

i am evil mining villain

unborn mesa
#

whats the performance difference between a reddevil and a sapphire toxic

snow obsidian
#

@fossil cedar

#

do u mind sending that setup u had a pcpartpickers for my revised build again

#

im tryna add all the parts to amazon

fossil cedar
unborn mesa
broken lake
#

What in this could be made cheaper without losing much performance?

stoic island
#

For doing what, gaming?

broken lake
#

Gaming and streaming

#

And vr

stoic island
#

CPU down to 12700f, Mobo could be slightly cheaper but meh

#

32gb of ram will do just fine for now

#

You should be able to get a cheaper 3080

#

PSU to a Revo d.f. 850w

#

Cooler could be swapped for like freezer 34 duo for now

broken lake
#

I thought you needed 1000 for a 3080

stoic island
#

MSRP is 700$, nowadays you can find them for 900$ retail decently commonly

mossy venture
#

Needs new paste and pads but good price

stoic island
#

Prob don't need pads or paste unless mining

mossy venture
#

True

stoic island
#

But ye

mossy venture
#

Personally I would, but more so of a want than need ig

stoic island
#

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

broken lake
mossy venture
#

No

#

850 enough for a 3090 lol

#

Atleast, as long as you're not doing crazy ocing and ocing a 12900k

stoic island
#

It's b660 so no OCing 12900k anyways lel

mossy venture
#

Rmx 1000 is $170 though, considering you have 12k you seemingly don't care about

stoic island
#

Or g6 1000w for 175

#

But Revo df saves another 50$

broken lake
#

Is that better?

mossy venture
#

Go 12700f

#

12700k identical on a b660

stoic island
#

You can't oc on b660 anyways

#

K sku does nothing

broken lake
#

Ok

mossy venture
#

I'd also do 2 sticks of 3600c16

stoic island
#

Or for saving money, just having 2 sticks of 3200c16 instead of 4

#

Also why rm

#

It's worse than Revo df :p

#

Rmx is also acceptable

#

And 3080 for 810$ as bacca pointed out

broken lake
#

Enermax?

stoic island
#

Ye

viral ore
#

64gb ram?

stoic island
#

I would edit list but I'm on mobile and mobile is annoying

viral ore
#

same lol

broken lake
mossy venture
#

There

stoic island
#

I swapped drive and cooler

mossy venture
#

Eh, if going air cooler I'd do ak620

#

Personally for the budget I'd just do the aio

stoic island
#

I just go 34 duo because I know pcpp doesn't throw a fit about mounting

mossy venture
#

And the 4000c18 gskill kit will perform slightly better and is cheaper

#

Nice price on the p31

stoic island
#

Meh, I've been too annoyed helping people troubleshoot getting 4000 on adl sooooo

mossy venture
#

Fair

stoic island
#

Saves me half an hour :p

viral ore
#

oh

#

yall already got too it i took too long lol

mossy venture
stoic island
#

Lol

viral ore
#

another option would be to go with ddr5 lol

#

just because

#

i think the price has gone down some

#

ick ok maybe not lol

broken lake
#

Ddr5 would just triple the price

fossil cedar
broken lake
#

Pato I have learned

#

I have decided to get a 3080

unborn mesa
#

Stock cuz i dont overclock

earnest olive
#

buying an XTXH chip and not overclocking should probably be a crime

fossil cedar
unborn mesa
fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

you're under arrest

broken lake
#

Aren’t you proud of me

broken lake
unborn mesa
#

@broken lake how long it take for that decision

fossil cedar
# unborn mesa No because i dont know how

For gpu, pull power slider as far as possible, increase core in increments in between 3d mark timespy(3d marks demo on steam) until crash, roll back til stable, same with memory except not until crash, until you start loosing gpu score from your last run, then go back

earnest olive
unborn mesa
#

Sounds simsple

#

But you would like to get my 5900x cpu

earnest olive
#

GPU overclocking is the easiest form of overclocking

#

and also usually the most practical

broken lake
earnest olive
#

because people are usually gpu bottlenecked even with a 6900xtxh/3090ti

broken lake
earnest olive
#

it's better

stoic island
#

P31 is great

#

I'd say better than Evo plus in general

fossil cedar
#

Around equal to the Samsung 970 evo plus

broken lake
#

Bet

unborn mesa
#

Orange

broken lake
#

Also doesn’t an aio cool everything instead of just the cpu?

stoic island
#

What

#

No?

#

You might be thinking of waterblocks?

fossil cedar
#

That would be a custo loop

stoic island
#

Like a z690 aqua that has the waterblock over the VRMs too

broken lake
#

I think I’m stupid lol

#

I knew that

stoic island
#

But that's not an aio

fossil cedar
#

All in one refers to the liquid cooling is all in one package, radiator, pump, etc all built into one package

broken lake
#

Yea I knew that lmao

unborn mesa
#

@earnest olive you want the toxic 69xt?

earnest olive
#

no lol go sell it on r/hardwareswap

unborn mesa
#

Nahh

#

They not gonna give me what i paid

#

The store will

#

Might try sell my cpu tho

earnest olive
#

oh it's in return window

unborn mesa
#

Yessir

earnest olive
#

just return it then

unborn mesa
#

I am

#

Gonna get 6900xt red devil and the 5900x cpu

earnest olive
#

I'm not buying a 6900xt unless it's like $500 lmao

#

can't justify it

unborn mesa
#

Lmao nahhh its brand new not even a week old

#

Never been mined on

earnest olive
#

I'm not crazy enough to go from a 3090 to a 6900xt

unborn mesa
#

Yea dont

stoic island
#

Bleach just doesn't have an use for it

unborn mesa
#

3090 is a beautiful card

#

How much could i get for my cpu tho?

earnest olive
#

dunno maybe 200-220

unborn mesa
#

It cost 250 msrp

#

I think

earnest olive
#

I'd be interested in buying it if it was like 2 months ago

#

not anymore

unborn mesa
#

Nah its a g

mossy venture
earnest olive
#

I know

mossy venture
#

much different

unborn mesa
#

I got it about a month or two ago

earnest olive
#

I was considering getting a 5600g or something to drive my monitors with igpu and let the 3090 mine fully

#

lmao

unborn mesa
#

Not very on the amd software you can make it show the sliders

unborn mesa
#

But i just connected it to my gpu so 🤷‍♂️

#

@mossy venture how much should i ask for my cpu? I got it on march 23

mossy venture
#

depends where youre listing it

#

id assume you can get atleast 180

frank delta
#

Processor and ram was just delivered 😎

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

without it best i could do was 20400 on timespy

#

you also have to lower voltage

fossil cedar
#

It doesn't

#

Maybe with stock card

mossy venture
#

maybe

fossil cedar
#

But not with a toxic

unborn mesa
fossil cedar
#

Toxic wouldn't require vbios modding to get good oc results

broken lake
#

What’s a good place to sell pc parts?

unborn mesa
broken lake
#

I got a couple 1080 ti to get rid of

earnest olive
#

facebook marketplace or r/hardwareswap

mossy venture
#

ill buy one for $10

broken lake
#

I’ll have to pass on that one lol

mossy venture
#

damn

earnest olive
#

I'll up it to a generous offer of $11

frank delta
#

If we are bidding on it I’ll offer 11.99

mossy venture
#

big spender

frank delta
#

Yesssurrrr😎 gotta find ways to blow through my whole paycheck in a week

unborn mesa
#

Ill give you 12 dollars and something from the mcdonalds dollar menu

desert gulch
#

ill give you 13 dollars and a happy meal

unborn mesa
#

Hey

#

Stick to the dollar menu

stoic island
#

I'll give you an egg mcmuffin

unborn mesa
#

Hey this getting out of hand

unborn mesa
#

How much ram do i need for roblox 🤔

analog hearth
#

none

unborn mesa
#

Nah i just figured out what to do with my cou

#

Cpu*

broken lake
unborn mesa
#

Whats a good cheap am4 mobo?

unborn mesa
broken lake
#

I have 2 1080 tis

unborn mesa
#

Gimme a price imma need one for this build imma do

#

If not ill just leave it with the igpu

cyan ravine
mossy venture
broken lake
#

I was told they are worth like $400

cyan ravine
#

Oh wait mine was to the am4 question lol

broken lake
#

Haven’t done any research into it yet tho

unborn mesa
mossy venture
#

does it need to have internal wifi?

unborn mesa
#

Most likely not but would be prefered

#

Yea nah she gonna probably only play roblox so minimal build until she gets into other games

mossy venture
#

ah yeah

#

will be fine then

#

want a full build list?

unborn mesa
#

I have a case and cpu

#

I have a lian li 205 and that 5700g

mossy venture
#

so psu, ram, mobo, and storage needed?

unborn mesa
#

If you could do a build list that would be great

#

Yup

#

16gb of ram

broken lake
#

I’m seeing used 1080 ti selling for $350-$400

mossy venture
#

regular lian li 205 btw?

#

non m?

broken lake
#

So like around that

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Uhh one sec lemme check lemme go hide thi

#

Tho

mossy venture
#

i think the m is smaller

#

i could be wrong though

#

also do you want room for a gpu to be added later on?

#

as in, on the psu end

unborn mesa
#

Yea like a 650 w probably

mossy venture
#

550 enough for a 3060 ti

unborn mesa
#

Ah nice

mossy venture
#

and i assume enough for a 4060

unborn mesa
#

Doubt it

mossy venture
#

why?

obsidian wigeon
#

it definitely will be

mossy venture
#

3060 current tdp is what, 180w?

obsidian wigeon
#

a 4060 sku won't consume a lot

mossy venture
#

4060 wont be over 250, and thats a high estimate

obsidian wigeon
#

it has no reason to

unborn mesa
obsidian wigeon
#

at best it'd probably get 200w tgp

mossy venture
#

alr

unborn mesa
#

That ine

mossy venture
#

then yeah that list i made should be alr

#

@obsidian wigeon is the mobo alright?

#

or is there any better options

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

#

it's just 5700g tbh

#

not gonna stress the vrms too bad

mossy venture
#

figured itd be good enough, wasnt sure if there were cheaper options with similar perf tho

unborn mesa
#

How many nvme does mobo have

obsidian wigeon
#

cooler other than stock is recommended just sayin

mossy venture
#

for roblox itll be fine lol

obsidian wigeon
#

there's like assassin spirit 120 for around 21-32?

mossy venture
#

theres 2 m.2 slots

obsidian wigeon
#

price fluctuates

#

gn reviewed it

unborn mesa
#

I have the stock fan but if it comes to it ill buy one later

obsidian wigeon
#

it outperforms vetroo v5

mossy venture
#

and more than enough sata slots

unborn mesa
#

Her room is actually cold unlike mine

obsidian wigeon
#

stock cooler is ok for roblox then

#

im just suggesting some dirt cheap but still ok cooler

#

if you want

unborn mesa
#

Imma have to add 150 to get the 5900x but not terrible

#

@mossy venture should run fine on a 1080p monitor right?

mossy venture
#

the 5700g?

#

yeah, igpu plenty strong enough for games like roblox lol

unborn mesa
#

Build in general i guess

mossy venture
#

definitely

unborn mesa
#

Ik i used it for fortnite 😂

obsidian wigeon
#

sometimes roblox games rapes a gpu like no tomorrow

mossy venture
obsidian wigeon
#

but generally, 5700g's igp is ok

#

for roblox

mossy venture
#

5600g igpu with 4400mhz ram ran warzone at 50fps 1080p

#

rawr showed me that a while back

#

50fps being the low

#

averaging around 55

obsidian wigeon
#

but roblox is p heavy in a dozen games

#

more than actually

#

its engine is just not optimized to run with a lot of assets

unborn mesa
#

Its a strong little igpu

#

If it comes to itll ill buy her a used gpu or a 6600 type of card

obsidian wigeon
#

im not saying you need a gpu, just kinda a warning lel

fossil cedar
unborn mesa
mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Does it have rgb or argb headers?

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

mossy venture
#

afaik all recent mobos do

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

?

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Bacca made the list so 🤷‍♂️

mossy venture
#

they can use the $20 rebate towards that

#

i like the segotep but the cables are kinda ugly, with the cxf rebate rn i prefer it

#

also bc its modular

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

idfk maybe they do

obsidian wigeon
#

rebates are basically gift cards

mossy venture
#

point is they can use the $20 for something else in the parts list

fossil cedar
#

That would also mean order psu.... Wait wait wait wait, fill out rebate wait wait wait buy ram

mossy venture
#

and the cxf is modular and slightly better

obsidian wigeon
#

oh rebates are like a gamble too

stoic island
#

Rebate usually only for the company you buy from

obsidian wigeon
#

they either come quickly or never

#

lol

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

Corsair rebate -> Corsair gift card only for Corsair things

fossil cedar
#

+50w more

mossy venture
#

also at that point id grab the 700w one for $57

#

it doesnt show up on pcp

fossil cedar
#

Not for a rig you gonna sell

mossy venture
#

have to go to the amazon link and then add in custom part

fossil cedar
#

Not worth it for a rig you gonna sell, plus it being a gold psu is a thing you can advertise

mossy venture
#

its for their sister

unborn mesa
#

My rig might be sold later but not this one im building now

fossil cedar
#

Oh right

frigid night
#

These Antec Prizm X fans at full speed are quieter than my Arcitc P12s running full speed

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

Which waiting thing

mossy venture
#

For the rebate

unborn mesa
#

Wouldnt be doing rebates anyways

#

Which is beneficial

#

I was ok with the first list btw @mossy venture

fossil cedar
#

If not doing rebate go segotep and not cxf

mossy venture
#

Well, pato linked first

#

I just changed wattage

unborn mesa
#

Oh nice everything in amazon

#

Do you have any fully modular psu? @mossy venture

mossy venture
#

pricing on psus sucks atm

#

could look for used

unborn mesa
#

Ill get cxf

#

Its only 60

#

Any recommendation for some more rgb in it?

mossy venture
#

uhh

#

rgb strips exist if you really want rgb

unborn mesa
#

Gotta make her think its a great pc one way

mossy venture
#

unsure on quality of the ram though

#

hard to mess up on ram

unborn mesa
#

That ram you put on the list has an rgb model

mossy venture
#

corsair is the only one i say to hard avoid

unborn mesa
#

I don’t particularly buy corsair razer or alien ware

mossy venture
unborn mesa
#

114 for 32 gigs

mossy venture
#

if you want to spend the extra on 32gb go for it, but honeslty idt your sister will care either way if the ram is rgb or not

unborn mesa
#

Nah theres a 16 gb kit

frigid night
#

can I not choose individual led lights in my fan with mystic light?

unborn mesa
#

unborn mesa
frigid night
#

yes

unborn mesa
#

Should be able to

frigid night
#

I seem to not know how then

unborn mesa
#

Do want a static color or a theme

frigid night
#

I"m wanting to make each fan green/purple static

unborn mesa
#

Download openrgb

frigid night
#

I did

#

it's not detecting my fans

#

I ran as admin as well

unborn mesa
#

Hmm

#

What fans?

frigid night
unborn mesa
#

It should find only 1 fan

#

And all of them gonna copy it

frigid night
#

not finding any and I have 2 sets of these

#

with 2 controllers

unborn mesa
#

Hm

frigid night
#

both hooked to seperate jrainbow headerss

unborn mesa
#

Oh try to find ur headers

#

Lemme get out if work ill help you

frank delta
#

Is it worth getting 32gb nowadays?

#

Of ram

mossy venture
#

a 32gb 3200c16 kit is $105

frank delta
#

That would cost less then me adding another 16gb dominator plat kit😂

mossy venture
frank delta
#

But I’ll probably get another set of the ram I have now to keep the aesthetic going and I love the look of dominators

#

Ah g skill aegis the budget dream

mossy venture
mossy venture
#

would not recommend

#

corsair makes terrible ram

#

half the time it cant even run xmp

frank delta
#

The kit I had in my old pc was trident z royals

known for mixing dies in the same kit

Not built yet I’ll have everything by Thursday
