not needed just nice

[orchid apex]

Question, I'm trying to buy RAM and this sounds dumb, but I'm using a AMD series cpu with an x570 motherboard.

My question is, do I have to buy RAM that is compatible to cpu/motherboard?

Please excuse my rant, I'm very new at this 😆

[mossy venture]

no, whats your budget for the ram

[orchid apex]

Anything less than 200

[mossy venture]

what cpu?

[mossy venture]

^

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zcH8TW/gskill-ripjaws-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-32gvkc if its a 5000/3000 series non apu this would be nice

[orchid apex]

Ryzen 5 5600, but going 9 5900 eventually

[mossy venture]

kk

that works then

tho tbh not worth the upgade if youre gaming

from 5600 to 5900 that is

[orchid apex]

Yeah, I plan on doing some video editing.

[mossy venture]

ah

amd might be releasing more am4 cpus sometime, so those could be an option too

[orchid apex]

My current build is sluggish, and have to keep my apps to a minimum.

[mossy venture]

whats the build?

[orchid apex]

I have asrock x570 steel legend, nvidia rtx3070, triedent z neo ddr4-3600 16gb

[mossy venture]

mm, with the tasks youre doing its most likely cpu or ram then yeah

[orchid apex]

Standard fans for now, but going aio in the near future

[rich void]

wait if you already have 16gb of ddr4 3600 why are you considering new ram?

If anything you could add another 16gb of the same RAM you already have, but 16gb is sufficient for most

[orchid apex]

Yeah, for gaming it's perfect. but not the same when i tried to edit videos.

[rich void]

Ok, so if anything upgrade the CPU and get 16 more gigs of the same memory

[orchid apex]

Ahh, I see

Save a few bucks like that.

[mossy venture]

4x16 running 3600 might be a bit too stressful on the imc, no?

[rich void]

The other alternative to that would be maybe a 2x16gb kit of a cheaper brand of memory

[rich void]

Maybe, it generally runs fine at 3200 doesn't it?

[mossy venture]

depends on luck

[rich void]

It'd be best to figure out if it's really the RAM limiting it right now though, could easily be the CPU

So upgrading RAM right now might do nothing

[mossy venture]

16gb for photoshop is really not enough

[orchid apex]

I plan on upgrading my cpu, ram, and cooling system all together.

Was just scrolling through newegg for some RAM and saw that some were labeled "intel xmp compatible" or "ryzen compatible." And was wondering if there was a difference.

[rich void]

Gotcha, yeah don't worry about that. Doing it all at once sounds like a good plan to me

[orchid apex]

@mossy venture @rich void yeah, it's a slow process, but very exciting.

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it 🙏

[mossy venture]

Yeah thats just marketing, dw about it

[analog pulsar]

will 3080 work on 650W

[fossil cedar]

Probably if it's a good one with low cpu wattage if you're lucky

[potent portal]

If you lower the power limit sure. It better be an A tier unit though, or it'll risk shutting off under load from transient power spikes.

[analog pulsar]

well i was gunna get this "kids build" and use this for now bc i have to build all the pcs at the end of the day but i could use this had its more modern or one moment

[potent portal]

I have no idea what the end of that sentence is supposed to mean

[analog pulsar]

one moment

sad thing is my pc i wanna build my aio is gone its on newegg but for $216

im confused

the AIO is on amazon but PCpartpicker saying out of stock

[potent portal]

It takes time to update the prices on pcpp, and it doesn't know every link to the same item

[analog pulsar]

well i clicked on the product that says out of stock and it has price with it

I can build this but its gunna take a longer to build but

[analog pulsar]

Let me explain

im building 3 computers

1 for myself and 2 for the kids

[potent portal]

I get that, it's the "but I could use this had its more modern or one moment" I was confused about.

[analog pulsar]

it is more modern rn my computer is i7 3770 and ddr3 and pcie 3.0

[potent portal]

Oh you meant and instead of had

[analog pulsar]

brain to words typing out some times get lost in traslation

@wide sparrow whos build is that

[wide sparrow]

[wide sparrow]

i edited it. the name is there

[analog pulsar]

LOL

[wide sparrow]

solid 10/10 build

[analog pulsar]

i was thinking about getting that case but GN said Y60 has some thermal issues and that the o11 is a better choose

[wide sparrow]

eeeeehh

nothing is perfect

theres not going to be an extreme temp difference

[winter marsh]

Howdy Ho, was someone gonna bit the MX410 Mesh bullet?

[wide sparrow]

still within acceptable ranges, kenzie

[analog pulsar]

https://youtu.be/QNfsG-Ai2PA?t=1323

[wide sparrow]

200 dollar case. yikes

but its soo nice

[analog pulsar]

LOL

buy it JP

[wide sparrow]

hm

when i have money

[winter marsh]

Wow

That worse than anything I used to use lol

[stuck juniper]

i want ittt

[analog pulsar]

okay im about to buy pc and i just wanna double check that the i3 cpu does come with a cooler

i3 12th gen

so is this pc still good guys https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yw7sKp

I did it

thats 1 computer off the list

[humble hearth]

Hey i want to know something : for now i have a GTX 1080 and i want to upgrade to a 3080
Until now i made a new pc with a Ryzen 9 5900x , and now i want to change my 1080 to a new gpu but i don't know if the are the same in term of performance;
I have 3 gpus i want to chose from :
1:ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 V2
2:EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING
3:ASUS ROG STRIX NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 V2 OC Edition
They are in from 1000 to 1200 euros on the France Amazon.
What gpu should i chose or it doesn't matter?

[wide sparrow]

@humble hearth when it comes to overall boost clock the strix is your best option

[ornate condor]

https://tenor.com/view/cocaine-strix-gang-strix-3090-rtx-white-gif-22429477

[wide sparrow]

best looking card to

second best would be the FTW3

[ornate condor]

White strix gpu is most beautiful card

[wide sparrow]

I always wanted one. never got it

[ornate condor]

And I don't recommend gigatrash

I got white strix 3090

[wide sparrow]

nice

[ornate condor]

Best temps and best looking card

[wide sparrow]

mhm

[analog pulsar]

@wide sparrow JP can you help me

[wide sparrow]

ok

[analog pulsar]

so ill have to buy 4 fans for the pc then

also should i do a 4 intake and 1 outtake system

[wide sparrow]

one intake isnt enough. needs to be balanced

[analog pulsar]

yea i was gunna buy a 5 pack of p12

[wide sparrow]

the two in the front are intake, while the 3 in the back are exhaust

[frigid night]

@fossil cedar @frank stirrup finally done cleaning that pc. #build-pics

[analog pulsar]

is 3/2 still okay for a case

[frigid night]

a nice good repaste decreased thermals by 14c idle

[wide sparrow]

5 in total, sure. the diagram for whatever case you have does show a max of 5 120mm fans

[analog pulsar]

im gunna have 1 fan extra from the 5 fan pack bc theres already 1 installed

[stuck juniper]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3070-gv-n3070aorus-m-8gd/p/N82E16814932466?Item=N82E16814932466&Description=gpu&cm_re=gpu-_-14-932-466-_-Product

cool there are 3070's for 600 but can that card say OwO?

https://tenor.com/view/owo-gif-14123081

[analog pulsar]

gunna have to get fan hub or something

[potent portal]

Yes

[analog pulsar]

Oh no we have an issue

The ssd has no heat sink the GPu heat will be pouring into it

I hope it doesn't over heat

[frank stirrup]

no

not an issue

also the m.2 will be above the gpu

[analog pulsar]

I had it in my last pc my ssd got to like 65C max but that was about it

[frank stirrup]

thats ok

nand likes to run a lil hot

[analog pulsar]

Oh

Are all ssds nand

[frank stirrup]

nand is the type of storage chips that an ssd uses

[fossil cedar]

Much better

[frigid night]

I"m waiting for my 5000D to come in so I can take the defective argb that work as rgb fans out and put them into that instead

[fossil cedar]

Stonks

[frigid night]

then I'm selling it for $600 and a EVGA 1650s

[frank stirrup]

what case u using btw

on the pc u cleaned

[frigid night]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Carbide-Series™-Air-540-Silver-Edition-High-Airflow-ATX-Cube-Case/p/CC-9011034-WLED

[tough jungle]

NAND is part of it, yes

But basically all SSDs use some type of NAND

[analog pulsar]

Oh

[tough jungle]

Battery backed DRAM is a thing too

But these are generally either dedicated servers or with old stuff you would slot in a small cache

I have one of those modules somewhere

Literally looks like a weirdly shaped SODIMM with a battery on the back

[potent portal]

Those are fun. They don't really have a limit on TBW like other drives, at least not one I've seen

[tough jungle]

TBW as a whole is flawed

[potent portal]

Yes it is but it's all we've really got to measure with

[tough jungle]

Fair

But yeah, enterprise as a whole takes a lot to break

With a ton of overprovisioning, overbuilding and brutal QC

Which costs reflect

[frigid night]

Just ignore me. It's fine. I hate you too.

[cyan ravine]

How do you guys add the custom entries into pcpartpicker? Like let's say I wanted to put a "Used 1070" into the list, how do I do that?

[stoic island]

Bottom of the list, "add custom part"

Will have to be logged into pcpp though iirc

[cyan ravine]

Oh is that pc only

[stoic island]

@cyan ravine on mobile too, you just need to be logged in

[cyan ravine]

Ohhhh

No wonder

Guess I need to make an account at some point then

I've been wondering about that for ages haha

[stoic island]

heh

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F7zdqm under $850 budget

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TRj9Kp $650 budget

Are these dumpster fires or no

[desert gulch]

6500xt 💀

may as well go 12100f to save money tbh

[little osprey]

what else are you supposed to do with under $650 with amazon only

12100f is more expensive on amazon iirc

[potent portal]

At least it's on a 4.0 platform

[desert gulch]

nah

[little osprey]

Fr?

There isn’t even a price listed on pcpp

[desert gulch]

pcpp just weird

[potent portal]

Click them, might need to update the prices or it's out of stock

[desert gulch]

i mean, 12100 on amazon is like $150

🤷

[little osprey]

Idk 12100f appears on amazon website for me but it’s from third party seller

Looks fine tho

[potent portal]

Lots of ratings for the seller at least?

[little osprey]

yes

[potent portal]

Should be fine yeah

[little osprey]

Ok well aside from the fact the 12100 is overpriced is the rest of the stuff acceptable

Both builds are mainly for apex and other esports titles

rocket league valorant etc

[desert gulch]

if okay with rebate, cxf better imo

you get full mod which is really nice, esp for a matx build

[little osprey]

What does fully modular have over non modular if they’re not going to be getting custom cables?

Is it easier to route when it’s not attached to the psu

[desert gulch]

less crap in the shroud

[little osprey]

i’ll skip the rebate

One of the builds is for someone who probably isn’t even going to attempt the rebate sooo

[potent portal]

2/3 people don't, that's what they count on

[little osprey]

Think that I found the two people … lmao

Probably better just to stick with the tuf

[desert gulch]

sure yeah

tuf is still good psu

[little osprey]

I think they would both care less if they had fully modular or not

Not like they know what it even is so no harm done

[desert gulch]

tuf is a cx greatwall which is nice

[potent portal]

Once it's built it's unlikely they'll care yeah

[little osprey]

i know that both of the builds are kind of iffy in a sense but as long as it hits 120fps in apex on 1080p for any settings both builders will be very happy

They come from xbox one, not great performance there

[analog pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yw7sKp was $681 but gpu gone

i could of gotten cheaper but parts wouldnt have shipped until june 21st

[little osprey]

Budget build time

[analog pulsar]

B stock might have a 3050 for $200 something

[frank stirrup]

To be fair all builds are budget

[desert gulch]

💀 CV

[analog pulsar]

Fal did it

[desert gulch]

at least the 650 is much better than the 550...

[analog pulsar]

Yea I mean like 250 and up

Oh

[little osprey]

Lol my friends are too lazy to watch for drops

And i’m too broke to buy it for them

[analog pulsar]

Well they can buy a 3050 when one becomes available for $350 and up

[little osprey]

Ew

[little osprey]

Nah

[analog pulsar]

[little osprey]

6600 for $300 is much nicer

Lol an 11 year old waiting for gpu drops? nah

They aren’t even buying it themself so I doubt their parents will be spending time to wait for stock drops

Idk man i’m not the one buying

I tried to explain to them that they could wait a day or two if stuff isn’t in stock but they’re not into that

[analog pulsar]

I mean 6600 is good too

Or xt

[little osprey]

Dudes like a 6th grader who just wants to play apex

[potent portal]

Then that dude is a 6th grader that needs to learn the values of a dollar and patience. It'll cost more for less being impatient.

[little osprey]

They’ll learn with time

[potent portal]

6th grade is the perfect time though

[little osprey]

Im not personally spending an hour or more with them to explain how to save them $50 over discord

Im pretty sure his parents are just getting a shopping list for amazon

[potent portal]

Yeah it's not your job to teach him

[little osprey]

I mean your first pc doesnt have to be the perfect build

Mine is far from perfect and far from ideal

it’s not a build but like you get the idea

[potent portal]

I started with a prebuilt from iBuyPower that I traded a buddy my PS3 for

Phenom processor and all

I think I'm aging myself by saying, but that was a college friend too. Back in the good old days.

[little osprey]

kind of off topic but like my pc is struggling big time and idk why

[little osprey]

Good old days

[potent portal]

I'm still a millennial... Technically. Just one of the first years you were considered one. Borderline gen X.

[little osprey]

Im going to blame my cpu here and just call it a day keep trying to convince myself i don’t need to upgrade but my stupid computer is telling me otherwise

[little osprey]

Sheesh

[analog pulsar]

lol imagine saving money

[potent portal]

Isn't it funny how that works? You start shopping for an upgrade casually and then it breaks

[analog pulsar]

buy a i9 12900ks

[little osprey]

Pull out another round of copium

😔

Anyways thanks for the help/guidance guys, gonna head out now

[potent portal]

This is why I'm not bothering with cable management, I know I'll do something like that

The side panel closes? Good enough

[analog pulsar]

lol

i forgot to plug gpu back in once

[frank stirrup]

I cable manage the front and just remember where each wire goes in the back

[stuck juniper]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/LLGMFg thoughts? the gpu ram and cpu price is all on gpu

I know you can get a lot better system for this price

[frank stirrup]

id wait till @fossil cedar gets on to take a look

hes the resident EU expert

[stuck juniper]

[stuck juniper]

You can get a lot better system for this price, but its my first build so i want it to look good

[strange epoch]

I took of the plastic film I think it's the manufactures fault because j had stable temps the first week

[stuck juniper]

And i would want to watercool it one day

[little osprey]

the best method

[little osprey]

Ya know, here is the thing. I have always thought of my computer as a continual work in progress, always needing updating, improving, and expanding. But, right now, even though I don't have the "best" stuff, what I have works as far as what is in the box. It plays the games I want, it runs MSFS fairly well, and I didn't have to spend more than $1200 for it. Now, everything I need to improve is outside of the tower, and it all involves more hardware for my simulator, and that takes time and money. However, I still find myself constantly going to newegg and amazon looking at computer components, and remembering that I don't "need" that really big 3080 ti; that's the case, usually after I have spent about an hour looking at different computer parts Now, what I have, though it isn't fancy with lots of unicorn puke and glass panels, does the job well. While this is a good position to be in, meaning that I don't need to spend exorbitant amounts of money on overpriced pc parts, it does make me sad that I am not really in pursuit of the seemingly unachievable "perfect" computer setup.

[cyan ravine]

your wallet isn't sad though

lol

[flint sapphire]

Well buy a keycron keyboard and get thrown into the hobby/enthusiast category of a keyboard enthusiast

Perfect setup will never be achieved

[cyan ravine]

I firmly believe that there is always something else that catches your eye. Humans are greedy, enough is never enough

You'll reach that perfect and have everything but then you'll see someone who does it better and in your head it's just "AAGHH I want THAT one"

[flint sapphire]

I’ve built a very limited number of pc’s, and I’ve found pretty much my happy stopping point… but it’s a pretty expensive one

[fossil cedar]

Smh why just sort low to high and use filters

[frank stirrup]

Was busy have exam

[fossil cedar]

There's really no point putting a aio on a 12400 but i assume you like it for the looks so, if you don't really care you can replace it with a gammaxx 400
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lgy2k9

[fossil cedar]

Smh, is finished now?

[frank stirrup]

Walking to college rn to giv

[fossil cedar]

Good luck

[frank stirrup]

Tanks

[fossil cedar]

Sending in the tanks

https://tenor.com/view/the-majority-of-world-of-tanks-players-gif-18079549

[stuck juniper]

I think aio is better in y60

[fossil cedar]

Sure if you're willing to spend the extra in looks that's your choice

Just giving alternatives

[frigid night]

Heck it.. just get a full custom loop for it...

[unborn mesa]

Im thinking about it ngl

But my gpu has built in aio so might have to trade it out

[frigid night]

I was talking about doing it for the 12400 haha

[unborn mesa]

Yea ik but just sayin

[frigid night]

But since my girl bought me the 5000D airflow I'm going to start looking into a custom loop.

[unborn mesa]

Plus it would also be 600 dollars for custom loop

[frigid night]

For just cpu right? I was under impression for a quality budget loop for gpu/cpu it'd be at least 800

[unborn mesa]

Must be nice

[unborn mesa]

Uh i think so

Not quiet sure how much it would be for my gpu tbh

I mean it would just mean looping in a gpu waterblock right?

[frigid night]

All I did was send her the link while it was a on sale and said this is the case I've been eyeing and it's on sale. Next thing I know I'm getting a screenshot of it being ordered lol

[unborn mesa]

Lmao nice

[frigid night]

Yeah, but I think you'll want another rad as well.

[unborn mesa]

Probably

Honestly imma just wait till my gpu warranty is up and then do that cuz of the aio it has

[frigid night]

That sounds the smartest.

[unborn mesa]

Waterblocks for my gpu 😐

But just gon use the one it has👌

[frigid night]

Does it allow for aftermarket connection to the waterblock?

[unborn mesa]

Probably

If not we gon figure sum out

[frigid night]

Hm

That seems like a surefire way to end up building a new pc... lol

[unborn mesa]

Lmao having to

[frigid night]

You are?

[unborn mesa]

Nah

If i mess with aio and it leaks imma have to buy new gpu for sure

Since the connectors for aio tubes are inside gpu

[frigid night]

Sounds like it'd be cheaper and better to be safe than sorry to just grab a waterblock you know will work.

[unborn mesa]

Yea but also dont wanna take apart my gpu to add new waterblock

So id probably just trade somebody the same model but the air cooled one

Oh dang there isnt an air cooled one 😅

[frigid night]

:P

[unborn mesa]

Limited edition one is only water cooled 😭

[frigid night]

I can't see taking a waterblock off to much different than taking the air-cooled off?

I mean, harder

[unborn mesa]

Eh gotta heat up thermal paste and it barely goes above 50c

[frigid night]

Hm ok

[unborn mesa]

Ez

Just run cyberpunk on max settings with ray tracing

Ez 80c

[frigid night]

Do it.

Could just unhook aio from chassis and fans so there is no active cooling going on to get that temp to raise faster as well.

Obviously watch the temp closely so you don't go to high to quickly yeah?

[unborn mesa]

Yea once my warranty goes out

[analog pulsar]

I need different ram ASAP

[frank stirrup]

then buy some

[fossil cedar]

Sort low to high for 3200mhz minimum speed cas latency max 18 and select the config you want e.g 2x8 and pick the cheapest one

[analog pulsar]

i just went back in chat and got the yesterday ram

[analog pulsar]

so pato i actuality saved $20 bc amazon had ram for $20 more so luckily i went with this ram instead

[fossil cedar]

Nice

Price of the ram i chosen must have gone up

Which is why we say the lists are only valid for like a day or few at most

[idle aurora]

is it against the rules to post a link for my pc build here? just asking

*of, not for

[fossil cedar]

Nope, that's allowed although because you haven't ranked up you can only link pc part picker, newegg and Amazon links

[idle aurora]

https://newegg.io/3eea5f7 1k budget build

[fossil cedar]

You in the us?

[idle aurora]

i live in the us but in another country rn

[fossil cedar]

But you'll be buying in the us?

[idle aurora]

yes

[fossil cedar]

Okay 1 sec

[idle aurora]

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kYWvRv

[idle aurora]

i dont have to worry abt storage i got hard drives

[sweet lion]

Anyone have a $6k budget build

[stoic island]

usd?

[fossil cedar]

Well you will at least want a 500gb ssd for Windows anyway

[fossil cedar]

In that case you might do that
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3TpkDq

I'd personally opt for the 1tb ssd tho it's nice

[idle aurora]

i got 2tb hard drives

[sweet lion]

yes

[rich void]

Putting your OS on an SSD is a HUGE QoL improvement

[fossil cedar]

There's no point spending 6k on a pc unless it's like a workstation you'll use for rendering/equations etc even then especially now with 4090 in like 2 months or so

[mossy venture]

Hdds are only useful as secondary storage

[idle aurora]

my dad said he’ll grab one for me so i dont really have to really worry abt ssd

[idle aurora]

https://newegg.io/103ff00 somewhat similar

[fossil cedar]

Okay then exactly that list minus the ssd

[hot holly]

Fr

[fossil cedar]

No point spending more and just buying from newegg

[chrome jackal]

hi

[idle aurora]

ik but its just somewhere to start with

[fossil cedar]

Bad motherboard, bad case, power supply is expensive and no point in it

[hot holly]

Sup

[fossil cedar]

I gave you a list that's completely done lol

[chrome jackal]

You remember me Pato you told me what to buy

@fossil cedar

[fossil cedar]

Hi honestly no, a lot of people ask for help here

[sweet lion]

im playing alot of games

[hot holly]

I can’t imagine running windows on a hard drive

[chrome jackal]

most office pc use hdd

[hot holly]

True

[idle aurora]

fair

[idle aurora]

ill just wait until prices drop further

[rich void]

Not in my experience. The last three I have had over the last 5 or so years have only had an ssd

[desert gulch]

^

Same here

[fossil cedar]

Even a balls to the wall gaming PC would cost ~3k and I'd recommend waiting because new cpus and gpus will come out in September that's even better

[desert gulch]

The ones at my office are all ssd

[chrome jackal]

who wants this as a gaming pc

[desert gulch]

And they're like 4-5 years old basic dell/ho workstation

[chrome jackal]

office look

yuck

[hot holly]

I gotta agree

[fossil cedar]

List will probably not be valid then but you do you

[rich void]

I don't see why a company would buy a workstation without an SSD given how much it speeds everything up

Penny wise, pound foolish right there

[chrome jackal]

i had that pc i thought i was in a office

[idle aurora]

[fossil cedar]

A lot of office pcs out in the wild are still like 4th gen i3s with 4gb of ram tbf lol

[hot holly]

Cause most companies don’t know anything about computers

[hot holly]

That would be just fine for a office use

[hot holly]

4gb of ram tho yikes

[chrome jackal]

they used 2nd gen lga 1155

[rich void]

Well that's fair. My last employer had like a four year cycle for PCs

Current one idk, but my station dates to like 2017 I think

[chrome jackal]

ddr3

[rich void]

They should still have some kind of upgrade cycle in place

[chrome jackal]

after that i built my own pc

to get rid of the proprietary bs

[hot holly]

When I was in a Public school are school had chromebook that couldn’t even load a tab without like 80+ cpu usage

I’m in a private school and I mainly see people with mac books while I am rocking my old gaming laptop

[rich void]

Well schools are ridiculously under resourced. They're not typical

[hot holly]

True

[rich void]

Especially many public schools

Private schools are sometimes loaded, but it depends on the type of school

[hot holly]

We have to bring are own computer

[chrome jackal]

really i thought they have it setup different

email and pw

[hot holly]

No

My gaming laptop costed 500 cad and had a gtx 1650 ti the performance is around equivalent to an 1050 ti desktop gpu as far as I am aware

[hot holly]

Since gtx 1650 ti isn’t a d gpu and doesn’t have a d gpu verison

[vague oracle]

My current job still uses windows XP

[fossil cedar]

Sounds about right

[hot holly]

I would expect it to use windows 7 tbh

[chrome jackal]

that’s past old

[formal girder]

Some french airports still use windows 3

[mossy venture]

the french

[formal girder]

Oui

[mossy venture]

french (derogatory)

[ripe spear]

Id use that if it had a 3rd gen or 4th gen i7

[chrome jackal]

lga 1155

2nd gen @ripe spear

[ripe spear]

So 2nd gen/3rd gen

[chrome jackal]

2nd gen

[ripe spear]

Can easily replace it with a i7 3770

[chrome jackal]

dell it’s proprietary front panel

[ripe spear]

which that i7 can now cost in the used market for like 20 to 40$

[chrome jackal]

everything is proprietary on that office pc

pc fan cpu fan

[little osprey]

🤨

[chrome jackal]

office look

[ripe spear]

On a Optiplex you can still replace things like the CPU, Memory and GPU

[little osprey]

Would you prefer this

[chrome jackal]

umm

i got one already 11th gen

[ripe spear]

You can replace the PSU but you need to buy a special connector since if i recall it doesn't use a 24 pin connector for the board

[chrome jackal]

i have a custom built

front panel

[ripe spear]

Also you're unaware that people does this to an Optiplex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKQlEKPBZWM

[chrome jackal]

yeah

[little osprey]

I used to have an optiplex as my daily system, it was pretty nice

lemme see if i can find a pic

[chrome jackal]

i still have it

[little osprey]

yea im too lazy to go digging for the pictures nvm

it had a 3770, 12gb of ram or 14, i forget. and a gtx1050ti

[chrome jackal]

ok i have a mag b560 tomahawk wifi

[upper condor]

For 350-400 dollars, what's the best GPU you can get?

[fossil cedar]

Rx 6650xt

[mossy venture]

beat me to it pato

[ripe spear]

I recently watched a video of someone using a RX 6400 with a i7 3770 and for games like GTA V on high settings was getting 45+ FPS

[fossil cedar]

😛

[upper condor]

If I could get a used 1080 ti for the same price would it be better?

If it was good condition

[chrome jackal]

yeah

[mossy venture]

not really

6650xt beats it

[upper condor]

Idk the state of gpus 😅

[fossil cedar]

Nope 6650xt is better and new for 400$

[upper condor]

Thanks a ton

🙏

[little osprey]

but it isnt nvidia 🤓

[upper condor]

LMAO

They fixed Radeon drivers mostly so yknow

[little osprey]

but muh nvenc 🤓

[ripe spear]

You could always get a 3060 for like 400$ from EVGA

[mossy venture]

6650xt better

[ripe spear]

Well another thing than performance is features that a person could also want

Like i use the Nvidia Broadcasting software so i don't have to play around with the sound settings in OBS to get my mic working right

[frank stirrup]

amd has a great hardware encoder now too

[ripe spear]

For GPU's that has the support for it lol

[quasi sun]

6700xt if you go used

[quasi sun]

That’s really overpriced for what it is lol

Me with a $550 3060 in my main

[desert gulch]

heh, used?

[quasi sun]

Yes Used af 6700xt ❤️❤️👀

[desert gulch]

nah

[quasi sun]

What’s wrong with a used 6700xt

[desert gulch]

microcenter had like a $370 6700xt brand new not too long ago 👀

thats whats up

[quasi sun]

ayeee $370 for a 6700xt seems like a deal

[desert gulch]

hella deal

it wasnt a great model ofc but still

[quasi sun]

I mean for a card like that model isn’t everything

6800xt and above is when I start caring

[desert gulch]

still

yeah

[ripe spear]

400$ for a brand new RTX 3060 is over priced?

[desert gulch]

kinda

[ripe spear]

Not really since it is still very affordable

[wet nymph]

I can't get my network adapter to work and I have no clue why. I have a B460M Pro4 which has 802.11a compatibility with an intel 9560. I've tried entirely replacing the 9560 network adapter and I've installed the driver more times than I can count but for some reason i can't even detect the adapter anymore. Would anyone possibly be able to help me out with this?

[desert gulch]

Newegg a couple days ago had a $410 3060 and A tier 750w unit bundle

That's a deal

[light mauve]

I am building a pc for one of my friends their budget is $600 USD, let me know if I should change anything.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoVwZL6x6gs

wrong thing sorry

https://newegg.io/0978708

[quasi sun]

Kinda

[ripe spear]

Depending on the game expect something like this but a little lower from the i5

[quasi sun]

I have been buying 6600xt’s for less than $400 and it’s arguably a better card

[ripe spear]

That is with the RX 6400 @light mauve

[quasi sun]

Something with like a 1070, and worry about the rest

[light mauve]

Ok thank you

[quasi sun]

Getting a 1070 for $170-180 will set you up well

[ripe spear]

Really depends on the game and resolution

@quasi sun for 1440p gaming for high/ultra settings you can see the 3060 and 6600 XT is neck and neck

[quasi sun]

Yeah, that’s generally true

[quasi sun]

Yeah I have a 3060 for my 1440p personal

I enjoy it

I upgraded to that from my 6700xt

[ripe spear]

But with Nvidia cards there are features on it people might like more

I use this which when i would voice chat with someone or stream i sound really clear and also for streaming i don't have to play around with the OBS sound settings

[quasi sun]

I generally go nvidia for streamers I work with

And amd for my homies on a tight budget

[ripe spear]

The camera feature you have this

[quasi sun]

Finally I can post my child

[ripe spear]

That AIO is not PG13 though

[quasi sun]

The whole setup

[ripe spear]

@light mauve Got to ask what does your friend mainly play

[quasi sun]

But yeah been trying cards out

See what works best for me

[ripe spear]

This case in his list the reviews doesn't match it https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811353210

This is the case he has in the list

This is in the review

[quasi sun]

Diypc is weird

[ripe spear]

I personally would go with this case https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-masterbox-nr600-without-odd-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119368

Side panel is easier to take off without worry of it dropping like that mounting setup and i like how the glass isn't going over the PSU shroud

Also it is a full mesh front panel and you can see in the second image what it would look like with RGB

[quasi sun]

No airflow for $90 or additional fans nty

[ripe spear]

You have 3 points for airflow

and with 2 140mm fans in the front it would be quieter

[quasi sun]

Check this out on @Newegg: DIYPC IDX6-BK-RGB Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811353221?Item=N82E16811353221&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-11-353-221-_-06062022

[quasi sun]

Still, for a solid front panel case I would rather get a H510 Flow

[ripe spear]

NR600 isn't a solid front panel

I just said it was a mesh front panel

[quasi sun]

Ohhh I thought it was the solid panel model

I only use the td500

And I think that’s a better looking case

[quasi sun]

Just so good

[ripe spear]

That is what i am using now

[quasi sun]

I just have o11’s on reserve

[ripe spear]

Rommy you mean like this lol

[quasi sun]

Have you seen the $150 z690i

[ripe spear]

This is how it looks now (except for the top fans which i did flip after that image i took)

You saw the new Lancool case right?

[quasi sun]

The meshifyC?

[ripe spear]

Rommy if you didn't see the Lancool III https://youtu.be/Oox5q1Sy0XE?t=74

[ripe spear]

When the Lancool III comes out i might replace my case for that but i am going to get it in black

[ripe spear]

If you can find this then your problem is solved lol https://www.amazon.com/Fathers-Day-Gifts-Conditioner-Individual/dp/B09NLX6NN7/

[quasi sun]

Seems fine with the air cooler u have no?

[ripe spear]

I don't know why it says mothers day gift when the link says fathers day gift lol

But ya fill that up with water put in some ice cubes and it will cool down your room for 8 hours

I plan on getting one cause in the summer the day time is super hot and the night time is really cool

But that would also cool you down as well

Our eyes though

[quasi sun]

Wow, my friend would be malding if he heard that

[ripe spear]

https://tenor.com/view/backawayslowly-awkward-gif-9584750

[strong raft]

Weirdos, lol. No idea on the malding comment. People act like D15 is always gonna be plenty for every cpu.

[formal girder]

This my 12700K under the LF2 360mm

The minimum was caught middle of rendering when I decided to pull up hwinfo sensors

[quasi sun]

My friend is a noctua shill anti aio person

[nova apex]

So, Im collecting parts for a new build, my first ever build, I need help though, i heard this thing called Static? Looked it up but i need some easy ways to keep a non static area? I have a fairly large mousepad, would that work? if not need some other ways

[autumn wolf]

doesnt really matter all to much where you build so long as you dont build up static like wearing socks on the carpet and rubbing your feet on the carpet and then touching stuff

[mossy venture]

youll be fine on a table

this does not sound right

[nova apex]

i have a wood table so im assuming thats okay?

[autumn wolf]

ye

[nova apex]

from a non experienced, that sounds just wrong 💀

[autumn wolf]

again, just dont build up static like wearing socks and rubbing your feet on the ground and stuff. for the most part youll be fine

[nova apex]

you sure?

[strong raft]

@mossy venture can delete the msg(s). 🤣

[potent portal]

You could even do most of your building in the box the motherboard came in. You don't technically need a case.

[autumn wolf]

built 2 pc's on carpet and one on a bed, its fine

[nova apex]

Okay, thank you!

[autumn wolf]

whats a P?

[mossy venture]

have you bought all your parts yet?

[nova apex]

not quite. Looking what i should get next with my 80 bucks i got from my birthday off amazon https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PJn8Q6

[autumn wolf]

dont know how to make potato salad, sorry

only rice, eggs, and yakisoba

[mossy venture]

have you bought anything yet?

[strong raft]

[nova apex]

My gpu and psu

[mossy venture]

alr one minute

[mossy venture]

do you want wifi on the mobo?

[nova apex]

i have ethernet

[mossy venture]

kk

[mossy venture]

id do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VzYGk9

[nova apex]

why so?

[mossy venture]

5600x more expensive than 12400 and same perf

970 evo not very diff from mp33, you wont notice a diff if youre gaming

case is opinion, if you care for looks 4000d airflow is good

[nova apex]

I dont care about looks, just perf

[mossy venture]

mx330-g air good case then

if you wanted to spend $80 on an ssd, id go for the 1tb mp33 pro

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LvGbt6/team-mp33-pro-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fpd001t0c101

[nova apex]

okay

[dapper sapphire]

how to list in pc part builder that you already purchased an item?

[potent portal]

Click the gear icon next to the price. Click manually enter price, and you can mark it as purchased.

[dapper sapphire]

ty

[south cliff]

i have been looking at some of the gpus and i have stumbled upon the 6700xt for like 469 dollars is that worth

[frank stirrup]

yes

[south cliff]

how much less in perf from the 6800

[frank stirrup]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VnyAqH6VJE

[south cliff]

also i only got a 650 watt psu

so i might have to go woth 6700xt 3060 ti or 3070

[frank stirrup]

6800xt gonna be wayyyyy too close for comfort with that

6700xt/3060 is probably most u should go

what psu btw

[south cliff]

its b teir

segotep

[desert gulch]

LLC one or what?

theres like 3 diff variations of some segotep models xD

[south cliff]

how should i know if its llc

[desert gulch]

what model is it?

[south cliff]

let me look it up rq

[frank stirrup]

dont look it up

send a picture

[south cliff]

i dont feel like opening up my pc

[desert gulch]

digital receipts also work

[south cliff]

give me one sec

[desert gulch]

ye ofc

[south cliff]

i cant belive i piad 70 for it

its a gf650

[desert gulch]

sfx?

[south cliff]

not an sfx psu

https://www.segotep.us/products/cp-psu-st-p650f

this is it

[desert gulch]

ye

i dont even see it on the tier list...

im trying to look up the model

[south cliff]

i didnt knwo what psu to buy when i bought it

[desert gulch]

@tough jungle any info on a non-sfx GF650 sego?

cant find it on tier list at all

[south cliff]

im sorry if its bad i didnt knwo

[desert gulch]

nah you good

luke may know something about it

if anyone knows anything about it, itd be luke

[south cliff]

is the 100 dollars worth it to go for a 3070 over the 6700xt

[desert gulch]

gonna depend on your use case

[south cliff]

gaming thats all i do

and 1080p

yeah i think i will get the 6700xt

but i kinda want the nvidia software

[frank stirrup]

bro

nvidia software sucks

[south cliff]

im just kidding

[frank stirrup]

amd software so much better

drivers wise

[south cliff]

well dlss 2.0

[frank stirrup]

ahhh

nvidia features

fsr 2.0 is out

looks to be as good as dlss

[south cliff]

do you have to have amd cpu?

[frank stirrup]

just wait for games to support

[frank stirrup]

yes i do

[south cliff]

i ment do you have to have one

[frank stirrup]

no lol

mb

i read wrong

[south cliff]

well i thought you had to have one it might be another feture tho

like where cpu acceses full memory of gpu

or smt

[frank stirrup]

you just loose smart access memory feature with intel cpu

[south cliff]

ok i will get 6700xt

on thrusday

what is good price?

for used

[cyan walrus]

guys should i pair my 1st gen intel celeron with a rtx 3090 ti

[frank stirrup]

yes

[south cliff]

yes

[cyan ravine]

yes

[uncut rivet]

helllo

[south cliff]

hello

[uncut rivet]

actually i want to bulid a pc but is not able to find the correct compatible motherboard for the CPU

can anyone help

[south cliff]

i can what cpu is it

[uncut rivet]

i want to build with RYZEN 5 5600G

and the budget for motherboard is under 7000 ruppes

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B09147LZJ8/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

i have selected this motherboard but having some doubt that is it compatible with RYZEN 5 5600G or not

[south cliff]

its not

wait give me a sec

[uncut rivet]

MSI A520M PRO-VH Motherboard is not compatible with ryzen 5 5600G ?

[uncut rivet]

ok np

[south cliff]

i think it is but you gotta update bios before your pc will work

[uncut rivet]

ohk

[south cliff]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FWY246F?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[uncut rivet]

okie

[forest epoch]

Built my first rig about 2 weeks ago I gotta wait til I’m lvl 3 to post a pic of it haha

[potent portal]

Just chat for a bit in general, you can usually get it in like 30 minutes

[forest epoch]

Forsure , thank you for the info @potent portal

[deft solar]

Hello

[frigid night]

@fossil cedar I know the CPU in the build is old, but I feel like the "lag" I feel is from the RAM. What do you think? Is it worth upgrading? I don't think this PC will ever need over 16gb.

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/tiraniss/saved/qndJnQ

[mossy venture]

So aside from the question you're asking

That psu is E tier

For what you're asking, id say it depends on what you're doing

But imo it's more likely cpu

I would very much recommend replacing the psu before changing anything else

[frigid night]

maybe it feels laggy to me because I'm used to my pc.

[fossil cedar]

Please don't tell me you paid 40$ for a h212 evo 💀 also nah i think it's just the cpu, rams fairly decent for 6th gen

[frigid night]

nono, this is the build I bought for $150.

[fossil cedar]

Nah it is a 6 year old cpu after all

Makes sense

[frigid night]

I'm just seeing if there are any cheap upgrades to squeeze what little performance I can.

[fossil cedar]

I guess make sure xmp is on lol

[mossy venture]

Ahhh that explains the psu

[frigid night]

yeah it's on

says xmp 2 though I thinkj

[mossy venture]

Same thing

There's two xmp profiles

[frigid night]

and this bios is basic as heck and doesn't give me an option for any other xmp

[fossil cedar]

@frigid night do a checkdsk on the ssd and also if you haven't reinstall windows maybe

[mossy venture]

Can you ask neo why they have me blocked?

[frigid night]

windows is a fresh install

like 2 days ago

[fossil cedar]

Hmm

[frigid night]

I just spent the last 3 days redoing everything on it from the ground up

it's like kosher to go to as new home.. there is just some little

uh

idk that word for it

sometimes it like hangs for a second

also

I did run Rawrs utilities

no errors or anything.

[fossil cedar]

You ran chkdsk?

[frigid night]

yeah

that's the one that

[fossil cedar]

Hmm idk then

[frigid night]

turns pc off and back on and does a test right?

[fossil cedar]

Oh run a crystal disk mark bench

Maybe the ssd is just crap

[frigid night]

ok

could be

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[frigid night]

do I run 64 or a64?

[fossil cedar]

Uh 64?

[frigid night]

ok lol

I just have 4 differnt .exe

[mossy venture]

Can you mention to them the psu in there is E tier

[frigid night]

31/64 a32/a64

[mossy venture]

Apparently they have me blocked and I doubt they read the message

[frigid night]

PSU has been used for years with no issues.

[fossil cedar]

Reorxist has you blocked?

[mossy venture]

Idk why but apparently

[fossil cedar]

Oop i mean psu won't affect the lag anyway

[frigid night]

@fossil cedar

dangit @desert gulch , yours pops up first lol

[fossil cedar]

Lol

Hmm

That looks adequate?

Lemme try my sata drive see what it gets

[frigid night]

also, equipped with an arctic p12 that thing keeps the cpu around 40c with p95 small ffts

[fossil cedar]

Nice

Just doing test now

[frigid night]

awesome

I"m going to munch on some cina powdered mini donuts and regret it when the sugar hits the one tooth that gives me issues

[fossil cedar]

Lol

Shouldn't be the drive

[frigid night]

whats yours look like?

[fossil cedar]

Looks similar or close enough to mine

[frigid night]

oh ok

[fossil cedar]

Some areas yours beats mine

[frigid night]

guess I should have waited to ask lol

[fossil cedar]

All good

[frigid night]

hm. ok maybe is the cpu then.

[frank stirrup]

look at updated pc in #build-pics btw :)

[frigid night]

I like the rock candy

[frank stirrup]

YES

I NEED MORE

[frigid night]

can have a snack while admiring your build 😛

[frank stirrup]

BUY ME SOME GSKILL ROYAL RAM

NAO

[frigid night]

NOU

[frank stirrup]

NU ME

REKT

[frigid night]

Rawr...

I love your utlities

[frank stirrup]

Thanks

glad you like em

[frigid night]

no...

I LOVE them

lol

jk I"m tired and been cleaning all night

so I'm loopy

about to set up my dual monitor arms

that I got for free from newegg because they did an oopsie

[frank stirrup]

go sleep then smh

[frigid night]

nuuu

to much to do

I've been finding a good stable OC for the other build for several hours now.

the 580 8gb 0is sitting at 1457ghz and 2250mhz

at 1.13v

[fossil cedar]

Emoted the crap out of it, you're welcome

[frigid night]

has passed timespy at least for the last hour and a half. and temps stay around 68ish

I added an emote for you

[frank stirrup]

sheee

[frigid night]

If there were any errors on the chkdsk... how would I find those?

because I was not paying attention to it and now my PC is back into windows.

[fossil cedar]

They should be auto fixed if it finds any errors

[frigid night]

oh ok

well then I guess I'll see if the little hang ups here and there go away

Tomorrow I'm supposed to get my 5000D.. I am so excited

[fossil cedar]

Pog

[frigid night]

I still have to wait until friday for my thermal paste though

I used the last of what I had on this other PC.

I almost don't even wanna sell it, but the profit is 533% lol

[frigid night]

I'm a little worried that I am going to have an issue with my cpu cables reaching from my psu to mobo in the 5000D.. They were already a little short for the 4000D

[quasi sun]

buy sleeved cable extensions

[frigid night]

So.. it's ok to use extensions with a psu as long as I don't use different psu cables than what came with my psu?

[quasi sun]

Yes

[frigid night]

you just made my wallet hate me even more.

[frigid night]

so uh.. any good reputable sites to get nice extensions from?

[desert gulch]

cablemods is one of, if not the best, but they arent very cheap xD

[frigid night]

my wallet already hates me

[desert gulch]

LMFAO

oh, also cablemods lets you pick the color of every single little cable

apologies to your wallet in advance

but if looking for other ones, pretty sure amazon has some. I’d let someone here who knows a bit more about amazon extensions reccomend them tho

[frigid night]

hmm I'm almost thinking of the UV ones since I have a light...

I might just go with the amazon ones for now and look at cablemods later. seems like something I'll want to map out exactly what I want..

and my case shows up soon so I need something quick

@desert gulch I suck at the cords thing, but I can use the 3 smaller ones... 2 for my cpu and 1 for my gpu right?

https://www.amazon.com/Supply-Sleeved-Extension-Connector-Adapter/dp/B09WDB47FM/

oh, I need 2 8 pin for my cpu

I'll keep l[ooking

[desert gulch]

probs dont need 2

Second one is generally for extreme oc

but yeah im not really too well informed about who on amazon has the best cable extensions currently, so thats kinda out of my area

yup

[frigid night]

I would like to have both hooked up as an OCD thing.

otherwise I will think about it and I will go nuts

It's the same cord for my gpu right? That was what I was trying to get at by my question. I know I don't NEED 2x8 plugged in. I just WANT it because I like the look and I don't know what the other reason is, but it's there lol

[desert gulch]

no, cpu and gpu cables are different

[frigid night]

oh ok.. I for some reason didn't seee the specs

but it comes with 2 8 pin cpu and 1 8 pin EPS which I believe is for the gpu right?

[desert gulch]

eps is cpu

pcie is gpu

[frigid night]

as you link that pic lol

[desert gulch]

xD

[frigid night]

alright.

I won't. that is why I am asking questions

I actually had thought that extensions were a nono

[desert gulch]

i mean some people probs dont like them

@celest horizon opinions of cable extensions?

[celest horizon]

Don't use them

[frigid night]

I don't think my cpu cables on my a-tier psu will reach the mobo in the 5000D case though..

I don't feel like spending a premium on a premium psu when I already have one.. 😦

ughh I knew they were badd.. idk why I got my hopes up

I'll just hope they'll stretch their little hearts out without pulling.

[quasi sun]

Just get a $16.99 set lol

[frigid night]

I don't want something that is cheaply made.

everything in my PC is rated quality.

[quasi sun]

Ok get some asia horse $21 ones

I do a lot of builds using those and I love them

Like 30+ pcs

[frigid night]

is there a website or is that on amazon?

[quasi sun]

Amazon

[frigid night]

seems like they only come with 4x4 gpu cable. I need a 6 pin

[quasi sun]

They have 6 pin ones

They always have at least one or 2

[frigid night]

I keep getting eps/pci-e mixed up

[quasi sun]

So you see any u like

[frigid night]

eh. I am going to see if my cables will reach and if they don't then I will grab whatever.. If I like how they work then I will probably order custom ones.

I am thinking of white ones though because the case that comes in tomorrow is white.

[quasi sun]

Dang, I have never ordered custom

[quasi sun]

White ones are great

[frigid night]

but if I go custom then I will probably go a purple/green combo

[bold prism]

Anyone know what might be the cause of random screen freezing on my new computer? I would have to press the power button on my case to restart the pc. Only happens when I’m using the web and not in games.

[mossy venture]

could be any number of things

id run a chkdsk

or just the batch file pinned in #windows-ios

[vital prawn]

[elfin flame]

[vital prawn]

[runic smelt]

Hey guys I have a b550m pro4 and my wifi isn’t working. Just threw in an m.2 wifi card and I can see the wifi networks, but the signal is really weak and I can’t connect to any, and when I have connected it was only 1 bar of wifi for a minute

Had a usb wifi thing before and it was really weak too, I don’t think it’s the wifi because it works on my phone and ps4 in the same room

[stoic island]

Might need antenna

[earnest timber]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pQpPfv how good is thus build

[mossy venture]

bad

[earnest timber]

what could i upgrade

[mossy venture]

one sec

id spend the extra for this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K93YXy

better build all around

[ornate condor]

stock cooler ?

[mossy venture]

for a budget build, its fine

[ornate condor]

yeah if you don't like stock coolers you can add extra few bucks for any tower cooler

[mossy venture]

the psu you had in your list is a literal bomb, the case is bad as well

hdds are not good for primary storage

1650 much worse than 6600 and not worth $210

[ornate condor]

I guess intel needs better looking stock coolers

[ornate condor]

1650 is eww

[mossy venture]

aio uneeded for that cpu

@earnest timber

[deep spruce]

Can I use my WD Blue 500GB 3D NAND SSD for my Games?

[ornate condor]

why not lol

any ssd good enough for gaming i'd say

it will not affect your fps but loading times

[deep spruce]

Ok that's good to know cause my Laptop died on me an I was able to pull my SSD witch has Windows on it

[ornate condor]

you can plug it to your computer , format it and use it as regular ssd

[deep spruce]

Thats what I was thinking of doing but I Question I have driver bays for normal HDD/SSD an I do have a Hot Swap

[ornate condor]

I mean you can tie ssd to anywhere lol

[deep spruce]

OK thank you

[ornate condor]

ssds are not affecting by how it stands lol just make sure it have airflow around it

[mossy venture]

my hdd used to sit on the bottom of my case lol

[deep spruce]

Hey that's where mine sits at

Is that enough air flow?

[earnest timber]

is this any better @mossy venture

[mossy venture]

you didnt link anything

[earnest timber]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p8TyFg

[mossy venture]

i would just do the list that i linked

:p

its not much better

psu is still terrible

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K93YXy

[earnest timber]

a little out of range

[mossy venture]

whats the budget

[earnest timber]

Around 630

[mossy venture]

i would highly recommend saving up a bit more

actually one sec

https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=8&associatecode=DCIZQ79WVS4ODJZ grab the 1660s off of here

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VKBV4s getting that gpu would do this for you

@earnest timber

[potent portal]

You could also save some money going for used parts from last gen

[mossy venture]

mm

that too

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cQZYXy could do this if you really need to save the money, but id go for the 12100. Its a much better cpu

doing the 12100f build with the 1660s youll be within budget

[mossy plaza]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/w3c48d/deepcool-gammaxx-400-blue-7434-cfm-cpu-cooler-deepcool-gammaxx-400-blue

I'm thinking of getting this cpu cooler since people here recommended this to me since its cheap and reliable should I change it out or keep it as is?

[mossy venture]

believe this is a bit better https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zr8bt6/id-cooling-se-214-xt-argb-682-cfm-cpu-cooler-se-214-xt-argb

[mossy plaza]

alrighty thank you I think I'm gonna buy that rn since I've been meaning to buy another part for my pc

[potent portal]

They're pretty similar performance-wise. The same "low budget but very acceptable" tier.
That RGB is nice though

[strong raft]

Yea don't worry about it. Being limited to 500ish MB/s, sata ssds don't get really warm. Also they're often close behind the load time for a game on an nvme, partly because games don't have the "Direct Storage" thing yet.

[near nacelle]

Hi, Id like help finishing a Build before I settle on it and buy the remaining parts; though I need help on what mobo and gpu to get. was recommended a z690? not sure if a better option is avaliable now

also unsure if the p300a or p400a cases suggested is better

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Migweegwee/saved/vMY2xr

already bought the seagate 2T and the RAM but not the other major parts

[tall shard]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TByCwc

[mossy venture]

[tall shard]

[tall shard]

800

[mossy venture]

if possible, id do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7LbMFg

[tall shard]

let me check it out

[mossy venture]

otherwise this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BCMkDq

extra 500gb of storage is very useful

tho you can always add more later

[tall shard]

Theres a comp issue tho

[mossy venture]

its just pcpartpicker being stupid, dont worry about it

[tall shard]

k

[mossy venture]

i can guarantee the board works fine with that cpu

[tall shard]

Is the

6600 the best one for that price

for just gaming

[mossy venture]

yeah

[tall shard]

is there anything that would be very good for roblox and like fortnite and apex?

or is that it

[mossy venture]

thats good for those games

[tall shard]

k

[mossy venture]

overkill tbh
