you used the pc part picker for the US so we assumed you where in the US

#

ohhh well ill remake a list for poland

quartz kayak
#

unfortunately not supported

fossil cedar
#

can you buy from amazon.de and list some sites in poland you can buy from

Lemme have a look

seems like it

#

I get lamer stuff this week

#

A new case and AIO

fossil cedar
winter marsh
#

not ready for a new vga and monitor just yet

quartz kayak
#

about 4000 PLN

#

most important question is, will the LGA 1700 socket get any new CPUs or will i have to rely on 12th gen for an upgrade

stoic island
#

13th gen should be on lga1700, don't remember if confirmed or not

potent portal
#

13th gen is confirmed same socket, 14th is unknown

desert gulch
#

14th is rumored on a diff one sadly

winter marsh
#

A new Star Wars movie out soon?

olive cypress
potent portal
#

They usually change every two years

desert gulch
#

there were orignally rumors that intel would have 3 gens on the same socket (12th,13th,14th) but it seems those are false

potent portal
#

All AMD has to do is finally commit to a life cycle for AM5 that's at least 4 years and they've got next gen in the bag

ripe spear
#

The only Gen Intel only did once really was 1st and 4th

#

Hi everyone I have a problem with my m.2

#

I can see the m2 in bios but not in disk management and in easeus it’s labelled as lost partition

winter marsh
#

The Ryzen 7000 series is why I didn't bother to build a Z690 mobo

#

That and the current prices of DDR5

ripe spear
#

7000 series will be the end of APU's

#

AMD has shown that 7000 series will have RDNA2 GPU's in their CPU's

#

which that was like the point of APU's before was to have a good enough GPU

#

But if you have a iGPU in your CPU that could perform like a RX 5300 as an example then you'd be able to play games with that CPU alone

potent portal
winter marsh
#

Motherboards on the other hand are B for entry level, X, and E for high end

ripe spear

#

For Intel it is a little confusing to someone new because you have 2 H's, B, Q and Z

winter marsh
#

True but I have no interest other than the Asus X670 TUF, plus I hate auto-spell

south cliff
ripe spear
#

It also has RGB on it lol

south cliff
#

rbg give way better performance

ripe spear
#

I would try out Ryzen again but with a B series board and with a Ryzen 3

winter marsh
#

I will be a very sad day for that mobo

ripe spear
#

If i am able to play Kingdom Hearts alone with a Ryzen 3 7000 series that would be nice

#

Oh ya and the Prime board would be perfect for white builds

winter marsh
#

I'm gonna stuff it in my Zalman case unless it needs a AIO

#

And for that I'll recycle my two week old 240mm Arctic Freezer 2 I am using on my 5800X3D

#

Btw I'm heard nothing about the PSU's the mobo.s and vga's require yet?

#

Even the Asus boards post look like they run off two 8 pin connectors for the cpu

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

unless you're doing extreme subambient overclocking

#

you will thermal throttle with a 2x360 custom loop before you can actually overdraw an 8-pin EPS on alder lake

analog pulsar
cursive wharf
#

But I dont remember the actual recommended max anymore sadly

winter marsh
#

I am assuming the new mobo's will still need a 24 pin main power cable as well.

earnest olive
#

it's 334W iirc for 8-pin EPS

#

plus however much the socket can deliver

#

meanwhile 420mm aios struggle to hold down 12900K @ 240W

tough jungle
#

It depends

#

Terminals and wire gauge mainly influence it

#

EPS can go as high as 480w

earnest olive
#

😳

tough jungle
#

On 12v, anyways

earnest olive
#

what's the spec number?

#

like how pcie 8-pin spec is 150W but most cables can do way more

tough jungle
#

I had it somewhere, but not on hand

#

And yeah, PCIe is underspecced

cursive wharf
#

Isnt spec 300w for EPS?

earnest olive
#

i remember 334W being the spec but i'm not 100% sure about it

tough jungle
#

Regardless, a mainstream CPU will do fine on a single connector

#

Dual only makes sense if you're going towards either HEDT or sub-ambient cooling

earnest olive
#

yeah, subambient required to even have to worry about it

#

it's an lga1700 board so it can be assumed hedt won't be in the equation

tough jungle
#

I consider lga1700 as mainstream

#

Then again, a lot of PSUs come with it these days

#

Never hurts, but it doesn't benefit much either

strong raft
#

Big sad that gpus didn't use EPS. This is the only reason atx3/pcei5 is a bigger deal than otherwise

Looking to start my first build on a budget. Where should I start? I’ve read some things and watched some YT videos, but would like some real time input. I’m not extremely savvy when it comes to this stuff, but I’d like to give it a go. 😋

Hey I'm looking to buy a rtx 3080 ti anybody have a good place to buy online rn?

# boreal notch Hey I'm looking to buy a rtx 3080 ti anybody have a good place to buy online rn?

If you really need a 3080 ti this one is $1050 right now https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-gv-n308tgaming-oc-12gd/p/N82E16814932436
But personally I'd recommend a 6900 XT, which is more equivalent to a 3090 and cheaper https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gKnypg/msi-radeon-rx-6900-xt-16-gb-gaming-x-trio-video-card-rx-6900-xt-gaming-x-trio-16g

boreal notch
potent portal
#

Who said that? They're pretty competitive right now. RTX just has a couple extra features and RX has the same performance for cheaper

boreal notch
#

so rx doesn't have rtx capabilities?

#

like ray tracing?

potent portal
#

If you mean ray tracing it can do that, just not quite as well.
Most games don't do RT very well right now anyway.

strong raft
#

RTX hype sure is moderate.

potent portal
#

What games do you want to play that use ray tracing? Because really it sucks in most games because they only do shadows or single sources of light

#

And it's not worth the 30% reduction in performance when using a 3090

little osprey
#

I can’t change the cpu, or ssd

desert gulch
#

in terms of value, i think theres def some things that could be changed

#

oh your bought those already?

little osprey
#

Yeah but just those two items

desert gulch
#

EVGA CLC 280 for 60/AK620 for 65/maybe some other cooler on rare occasion
2x8 3200c16 SP for 50
maybe throw in a 4TB WD Blue for 60 if needed
Pulse 6600 for 300/Speedster 6600XT for 360/Speedster 6700XT for 480/Sonnet 6800XT for 700/Ventus 3080 12GB for 800
MX330-G for 52/MB311L for 75/NX260 for 78/Lancool 205 Mesh for 86/P360A for 90/Lancool 215 for 100/TD500 Mesh for 100
650 GA for 60/650 GT for 65/750 GT for 80/750 G6 for 90/850 G6 for 105

#

those are all kinda the basic good value stuff in usa market

#

where would you plan on getting the gpu? those FE are fairly elusive tbh

little osprey
#

I am gonna wait till next Christmas and by then the 4000 series will be out and I’m sure there will be some available. If not, there’s always the 6600xt

desert gulch
#

i wouldnt wait

little osprey
#

I’m broke rn I just spent money on a new cpu

desert gulch
#

waiting while you have 2 spendy components you have no way of testing is not a great idea. Having a dead part you didnt know about is kinda risky

#

i mean, by xmas, new cpus should be out aswell

little osprey
desert gulch
#

are you not able to return those parts?

little osprey
#

Nah I got them a bit ago but I got advice from orange mushroom to get it and isn’t he super good with computers

#

He said in my situation a 5900 is good

#

Because I wasn’t looking to upgrade my mobo

desert gulch
#

yeah hes good, but with no way to test them, kinda iffy

#

oh you already have a board, you didnt mention that

little osprey
#

Sorry forgot to mention that

desert gulch
#

all good

#

so are you able to test your 5900x to make sure its working?

little osprey
#

Not currently I still have to set it up but Pc part picker says it’s compatible

#

I just got it around a week ago and I need my brothers help setting it up

#

is this a big upgrade from a gtx970?

#

wait the website doesnt really have a buy button, where would that be

spring belfry
#

can someone take a look at my build?

#

I can send a link to it, i want ddr5 and aircooling. Trying to futureproof it.

desert gulch
#

Ddr5 really doesn't future proof currently, esp with the extra you spend just to get equal performance to current ddr4

#

Also, if looking for overclocking the CPU, which I'm assuming you are, any half serious overclocking is not going to be happy on a air cooler, even a top of the line one

Guys guys

#

DDR5 ram

#

175 for 6000mhz

potent portal
#

2x8gb DDR5 is godawful

#

Completely cursed

analog pulsar
#

Why

potent portal
#

It's meant to be 2 banks per dimm but 8gb is only one so you're losing half the performance

analog pulsar
#

Wym

#

Why did they do that for

potent portal
#

To cut costs

#

By sacrificing performance

analog pulsar
#

Sad

#

How's 32GB ram then or 16Gb sticks

potent portal
#

2x16gb is good

analog pulsar
#

Okay

little osprey
#

Hey is someone able to help me? My pc just I think killed itself

#

just got it, 2 of my 3 hard drives are dead

#

for some reason

#

I mean they were old but my pc got stuck on the boot screen even though both had nothing to do with booting

What kind of games?

mossy venture

#

nope

#

no expertise

#

but i was wondering if somebody could help find a system that price thats better than a gtx 1650/i5-10500

#

i doubt it but i was able to find builds like that for $700

mossy venture

you definitely can

#

patos linked one before, but ill have to find it

meager dew

ah kk

#

ill check back in the morning

does it?

desert gulch

you may have to go uninstall every bit of xtu if it comes preinstalled tho

and then grab a old version and xmp it

No I like it most of the time.

#

Just some words it thinks it knows better than what I want.

You don't know what you want thought that is why auto correct does it for you lol

frigid night
#

Meh

#

So bored. I just wish my accessories would show up already.

winter marsh
#

Hmm new parts just means more work right?

fossil cedar
#

Huh?

winter marsh
#

In most scenarios you would have to power off the PC and install the new part, cases require a entire rebuild, and UI like mice, monitors, and keys require no effort at all.

#

I'm waiting on a new case and AIO, after that two CPU, and headsets or ddr sticks

analog hearth
fossil cedar
#

For case you can leave cpu and ram in mobo and if small tower cooler/stock/aio you can leave that on the cpu too

analog hearth
#

ah

#

the annoying thing for cases is the front IO connectors

#

I wish there was a standard single cable on the case that plugged into the motherboard with that single connector

olive cypress
#

Some cases have a single connector for that

#

Like nzxt

#

I hope it becomes a standard too

analog hearth
#

and then sometimes you get positive and negative stuff switched around

fossil cedar
#

They do that on their cases

analog hearth
#

at least somebody’s thinking lmao

winter marsh
#

The only easy install in the Lian case will be the easy AIO rack

fossil cedar
#

?

winter marsh
#

Easier than squeezing a fat lady into blue jeans

fossil cedar
analog pulsar
#

but also it seems thiccer rad will still get more direct cooling to mobo bc it will make that 110mm go down

winter marsh
#

Correct

#

The Liquid Freezer II – 240 has an aluminum radiator measuring 277 x 120 x 38mm. The thickness of the radiator is 38mm. The overall thickness would be 64mm after installing the fans

fossil cedar
#

Yeah but i don't see why not just only have the large one

winter marsh
#

The 240mm Arctic is merely referenced for measurements, a 360mm Arctic will be installed.

#

Right now the Arctic 240mm resides top mounted in a Cougar MX410 RGB case that has no air flow

#

It's not a mesh front and Cougar Support hasn't responded to sell me the Mesh front panel, which leaded me here to debates for a high air flow mesh front replacement case.

#

Front mounted AIO space became the priority and I settled on Lian after my Antec choices where rejected 🙂

#

I started with Antec but built in Cooler Master, NZXT, Cougar, Fractal Design, Raidmax, DYPC, MSI, and Sama PC cases.

#

The MSI case is great for the kids MSI themed build

#

Anyway back to bed unless something is delivered or something comes up in chat

jagged ember

winter marsh
#

Not really, I was being grateful with “Build Chat” helping me select the Lian case, and compared it to the previous MSI case I purchased to build a kid’s MSI B550 Gaming Edge WiFi mobo

@quasi sun just to let you know your about me is against the server rules so if you don't want to change it you're gonna get a kick if not a ban :)

south cliff
#

do i have to do anything when i get my new gpu?

obsidian wigeon
#

what gpu?

obsidian wigeon
#

if radeon, i wouldn't worry about the drivers

quasi sun
#

I spend thousands on newegg plz no ban

south cliff

but just to be safe, run ddu before you put new gpu in

fossil cedar

No harm just just letting you know if you don't change I'll have to :/

#

It didn't seem on purpose :)

winter marsh
#

I literally slaps the kids computers together with recycled parts, Z97, 970A, and FX990 motherboards

#

So next topic is selecting a good video card for Ryzen 3600XT/5600X CPU’s on B450 motherboards

quasi sun
winter marsh
#

I originally thought about using used RTX 2080 Supers

#

But price to performance favors the RTX 3070

mossy venture
#

but yeah 2080s tends to go for more for some reason

winter marsh
#

I noticed that, plus I don’t want to purchase a possible burned mining card

mossy venture
#

mining cards are in better condition than gaming cards most of the time

#

ive mined on my 3060 ti for over a year and its perfectly fine

#

mining does not damage cards if youre not stupid

winter marsh
#

I haven’t been able to research the performance of a PCIe4 card on PCIe3 mobo

mossy venture
#

as long as it isnt a 6400 or 6500xt, its fine

winter marsh
#

I’ve purchased cards that had shorts in their display ports that rendered the port inoperable

mossy venture
#

doesnt mean it was a mining card

#

even if it was, doesnt mean its causation

winter marsh
#

Just avoiding used cards at this point

#

To date only Asus has RMA’d outdated hardware for me

ornate solstice

who wants to make me a build list

#

$1200 is price range

oh right i forgot to run p95

fossil cedar

#

lol near identical lists pato

#

you just have the cheaper ram, couldnt find the kit

fossil cedar
#

You can grab the motherboard baka recommended but i would pay the 9$ for a board you could happily upgrade to basically any 13th gen cpu in and yeah can just use stock cooler which is a quick 15$ add on fix after if your temps are too much/too loud for you

fossil cedar
mossy venture

obsidian wigeon
#

alright

desert gulch
#

h610<b660<h670<z690

obsidian wigeon
#

it's a bummer how b660 boards lack flashback

desert gulch
#

yeah

#

esp with risk of some msi ones coming without a compatible bios for 12400f, the most common adl cpu

obsidian wigeon
#

yee

#

it's just sad

desert gulch
#

yea

#

you also get usb c on the rear io with h670 riptide pg, which is nice

fossil cedar
desert gulch
#

doubt youll upgrade to a k sku 13th gen i7 on a board like this

#

cause if you are planning on goin crazy on it, may as well grab z690 if planning on a k sku upgrade

fossil cedar
#

Could wack in a 13700(f)

#

Probably wouldn't in the riptide as comfortably at least

desert gulch
#

except we dont know much about it other than speculation

fossil cedar
#

Well look at it this way, gonna be better than the a pro even if same components bazooka has better heatsink

super weird inspiriation for a naming line but now you know xD

Everyone, I'm looking to purchase a prebuilt PC with Newegg's Build to Order Service. The Budget is $1,250, and we can go about $50 overboard if we can justify it. I did note that the Eniac Build Fee is $99, but we're willing to pay it, effectively making our true budget $1150

We're looking to build it with Intel, Use DDR4-3200MHZ RAM, have at least a 3060 in it, and can just use the free version of windows 11 with the watermark, so no OS is necessary to purchase (I know, I know).

The use case for this PC will be mainly Gaming and Video Streaming, light schoolwork and perhaps dabbling with Digital Art & Drawing.

No Peripherals will be needed, and no fancy RGB will be needed, we're looking to put 100% of the budget into pure performance, even if the resulting PC is a little ugly.

What do you guys think? What can we 'scrounge up here?

#

>>Ooh, also, no storage is needed. Purchased the Sk Hynix 1tb already.

nah 11400 3000mhz is better than 10400 3200mhz

fossil cedar
ripe spear
#

I know cause when i was setting up my memory on my system they only give 2933 or 3200

untold vessel
#

This is all so intriguing, thank all of you for this

ripe spear
#

I have 3000MHz memory

fossil cedar
#

2933 11400 is still better than 3200 10400

mossy venture
#

the 500gb extra storage on the 11400 one makes it a done deal imo

#

will have to spend more to put more storage in the 10400 one

ripe spear
#

I checked with mine which is a ASRock B560 Pro4 and 2 others which was a MSI and gigabyte

restive halo

#

All 3 checked was B560 boards

fossil cedar
untold vessel
#

yeah to be fair 11400 does seem like the winner

#

free game too I suppose

ripe spear
#

Only reason i am suggesting 12th gen is because more upgrade headroom

#

Meaning if he uses a 12100 now he would later go with a 13400

When it comes out

Yes 3060 ti is about 25% better

Guys

#

is Seasonic more or less the undisputed king for PSUs

#

And would it be worth it to go with a DDR5 Mobo if I know for a fact I'll be upgrading when intel 14th / 15th gen is out

potent portal

#

DDR5 still isn't worth it

mossy venture
#

ddr5 is a waste of money atm, youre better of getting a new mobo later on

untold vessel
#

i know DDR5 is laughed at, but considering upgrade room, can we make the slightest feasible case?

#

32 GB of ddr4 beats 16 gbs of ddr4 everytime yes?

fossil cedar
untold vessel
#

So, for the build I'm about to do, i'm better off saving money, going ddr4, and then upgrading to ddr5 when it and mobos are more advanced?

First gen of any DDR is just rough. Barely matches the best of the previous iteration.

fossil cedar
#

They have half the banks

untold vessel
fossil cedar
#

Neither are good options

untold vessel
#

hmmmm

fossil cedar
#

Ddr5 isn't worth it unless you're going super high end and willing to fork out ~250$ for 32gb

potent portal
#

Better off waiting for it to get cheaper in a couple years once supply lines stabilize

fossil cedar
#

And they'll be faster

fossil cedar
untold vessel
#

ah

#

I see, I see

#

anyone know what's up with the Build to Order tab on Newegg's website?

#

I try to view other mobos and it says no results found

nvm just started an entirely new build

Good and Cheap Mobo recommendations for that 4000cl19 kit of 2x16 ripjaws, anyone?

Oh i am picking up a Zotac 750 Ti for 30$ Canadian tomorrow

it costs way too much for what you get

better off getting the pre built

and then paying for it to be assembled

Okay

that ram is absolute garbage

its godtier

mossy venture
#

3200c22 is about as bad as you can get aside from 2133mhz

#

or 2333mhz

untold vessel
#

why

mossy venture
#

timings

untold vessel
#

actually why, I don't know

mossy venture
#

c22 is the main timing, subtimings are like 36-36-50 something or some high crap like that

#

the performance from 3200c22 kits are terrible

#

and youd have to buy 4 of those to hit 16gb, which 4 sticks of ram is worse than 2

untold vessel
#

explain timings to a 4 year old

mossy venture
#

latency

#

CL stands for CAS latency

untold vessel
#

explain latency to 3 year old

mossy venture
#

how long it takes for the cpu to access the ram i think?

#

im not an expert

untold vessel
#

ah

mossy venture
#

pato, sips, or rawr could explain much better than me

#

as well as other people

#

but i dont feel like making a list of those people

mossy venture

near identical kits aside from looks

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

ah

frail valve
#

When getting a 4k monitor, should I aim to get it in 27/28in or 32in size?

mossy venture
frail valve
mossy venture
#

then whatever monitor size you think fits your need

frail valve
#

ok

mossy venture
#

though 1440p would do just fine

frail valve
#

yeah local shop has a 4k 27in for $199, so I was just weighing my options

fossil cedar
frail valve
#

I know, I still have my 1080p acer 144hz monitor for gaming

fossil cedar
#

Ahh

#

But yeah imo 27" usually 1440p better option

#

Or at least should be able to save a bit of money although 4k 27" for 200 not bad

frail valve
#

but given that its name is LG 32UP50S-B and the description says LG 32UL500-W, im skeptical

ripe spear
#

Eww 60hz

#

I don't like MSI and i would say to go with MSI

south cliff

How do I get to safe mode just got my new gpu

strong raft
#

Yea that or the 1 right below. Also could just run ddu instead like we probably should.

south cliff
#

Well people have told me to do it in safe mode

strong raft
#

Oh my bad, yea perhaps. I forget which thing we actually select.

mossy venture
#

what would yall say the order is to building a pc?

oak jay
mossy venture
#

whats the total budget

oak jay
#

around 1300

mossy venture
#

much better

oak jay
#

last person i talked to reccomended cheap ram and a way overkill gpu

mossy venture
#

corsair makes terrible ram, nzxt makes terrible case

#

that psu is not great

#

get arctic p12s for fans

oak jay
#

im gonna do that case either way, and its crucial ram

mossy venture
mossy venture
#

i would highly not recommend it

#

id get the p360a or 4000d airflow

oak jay
#

what about a full atx motherboard

#

would that cause issues

south cliff
#

got everything working now installing drivers

mossy venture
oak jay
#

ok

mossy venture
#

but the mag bazooka is one of the best b660s, especially for the price

hot holly
mossy venture
hot holly
#

It is cheaper

oak jay
#

what about this?

mossy venture
#

theyre both good casess

hot holly
#

So

mossy venture
oak jay
#

ok

#

i have a different version of it in my current pc

#

the new ones for my brother

#

also opinions on the hyper 212 evo

#

not evo

mossy venture
#

its garbage

oak jay
#

alright

mossy venture
#

any 212 variant is trash

oak jay
#

i assume an aio is overkill for a build like this

mossy venture
#

though if you want one, the clc 280 is on sale for $62

#

it would be super super overkill for anything under an oced 12600k

oak jay
#

i mean

#

why not its not much more

mossy venture
#

it is a bit loud

oak jay
#

i dont think he cares

#

probably gonna end up on the floor either way

#

i may upgrade to a 500gb ssd and a 2tb hdd

#

is that m.2 ssd reliable?

mossy venture
#

yes

#

the 512gb is $40 rn

oak jay
#

alright ill keep it and add a 2tb hdd

#

hes not very good at storage management so more fast storage is a good idea

hot holly
#

Mp33 is pretty dang good for the price I would recommend going with a sn570 if possible

oak jay
#

im gonna swap to the sn570 just because its a more well known brand

#

the total for he build is like 1500 now but thats probably fine

hot holly
oak jay
#

forgot to remove the old ssd 1400

hot holly
#

Instead of spending 60 bucks on a aio

oak jay
#

maybe, i might still go with the aio just because

#

650 watts is going to be enough

#

?

hot holly
#

Ehh

#

I would go with more

oak jay
#

750?

hot holly
#

650 watts would be fine but

#

I would personally recommend a little more

oak jay
hot holly
#

850 watts is too much

oak jay
#

alright

#

it is cheap tho

hot holly
#

Ye

hot holly
oak jay
#

no

#

gaming

strong raft
#

Better off w/ a higher tier 750w tbh. 3070 doesn't need an 850 for sure

oak jay
#

its for my brother

#

yeah he just goes gaming

hot holly
oak jay
#

32gb ram because he loves leaving tabs open

hot holly
oak jay
#

like?

desert gulch
#

I'd pass on ga

#

Esp for higher up units. It has transient issues

oak jay
#

evga?

desert gulch
#

Yeah

#

If you want a nice 850/750, grab a g6

#

If you don't really plan on upgrading GPU much, grab a EVGA GT 750, decent HEC unit

oak jay
desert gulch
#

If wanting to save money, aio isn't needed for that chip

hot holly
#

@oak jay

oak jay
#

i would rather go nvidia

desert gulch
#

Id toss a se-214-xt on there, it's like a $20 air cooler

#

The stock one should work but it wouldn't be very quiet

hot holly
oak jay
hot holly
#

Your main use is gaming

#

So

desert gulch
#

I'd dump the HDD, if you need more than 1tb, may as well grab a 2tb ssd

oak jay
#

its basically the same just different gpu, less storage, and a different case

#

the case isnt locked in, at some point we will go to microcenter and pick one

desert gulch
#

If going to a microcenter, I'd revamp a good part of the list

oak jay
#

hes got a 500gb 2.5 inch ssd in his laptop rn so maybe that can be moved over

#

i mean yeah some stuff is gonna change depending on what we can get

mossy venture
#

650 is enough for a 3070 with a 12700k

oak jay
mossy venture
oak jay
#

not what could be better any issues

hot holly
mossy venture
#

yes it is

#

stop talking out your ass

hot holly
oak jay
#

im doing the sn570

mossy venture
oak jay
#

from a known brand lol

desert gulch
#

Sn570 is better than mp33, just worse value

mossy venture
oak jay
#

this isnt a budget pc

hot holly
mossy venture
desert gulch
#

Why pay more for something you won't notice?

mossy venture
desert gulch
mossy venture
oak jay
#

no im not

desert gulch
#

You're getting real close to p31 territory, which smokes a sn570

oak jay
#

its whatever my brother likes lmfao

mossy venture
#

👍

desert gulch
mossy venture
#

idk why i try anymore

mossy venture
desert gulch
#

I've built in it

#

It's alright for the price

oak jay
#

i have a normal h510 in my current pc

#

perfectly fine

desert gulch
#

Better than a h510 non flow

mossy venture
#

not when p360a is the same price

hot holly
oak jay
#

i just put massive noctua industrial fans on the front

desert gulch
#

@wheat coral thoughts on h510 flow?

#

I loved building in it personally, and it seems well put together and all that for the most part

oak jay
#

its basically the same as any other case lmfao

wheat coral
desert gulch
#

Yup

mossy venture
desert gulch
#

Not a meh case

#

It's def a good case

oak jay
desert gulch
#

Gamers Nexus reccomended it for when it hit $80 ish

#

Everything in the h510 flow is REALLY well thought out, I have to say

#

Routing cables and stuff in it is great

wheat coral

im not a fan of the cables

i hate this bar

if you have full modularity its fine

point#1776 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

wheat coral
#

full atx with matx is no

#

never ever suggest that

#

its the ugliest thing you could do to a build

desert gulch
#

Then grab the full ATX version if you want

wheat coral
#

literally its so awful

desert gulch
#

Like $20 more for full ATX iirc

hot holly
wheat coral
#

well worth it imo

#

lol

#

just look at it

oak jay
desert gulch
#

Gaming x ax better imo

oak jay
#

my standpoint is full atx should be with full atx

desert gulch
#

Should be like $170

oak jay
#

no wifi

desert gulch
#

Ax means wifi

oak jay
#

oh

desert gulch
#

Thats gigabytes way of saying wifi

#

Kinda weird but yeah

oak jay
desert gulch
#

Just grab the non "M" version

#

Yeah

#

If going to microcenter, I'd honestly not go 12400f tbh

earnest olive
wheat coral
#

ax is for wifi 6

earnest olive
#

wifi 5 = IEEE 802.11ac
wifi 6 = IEEE 802.11ax

wheat coral
#

802.11ax

desert gulch
hot holly
#

I would put a mini itx in a m atx case for all I care

desert gulch
#

If going to microcenter, I'd go Ryzen 5 5600

earnest olive
#

mini itx boards tend to carry a price premium

oak jay
desert gulch
oak jay
#

i have ryzen and its fine

desert gulch
#

5600 at mc is like $130 after coupon iirc

oak jay
#

what motherboard is good with it

#

that has wifi

mossy venture
#

pro vdh wifi

wheat coral
#

no no no

#

vdh is awful

desert gulch
#

Hdv is awful

#

Vdh is fine

oak jay
#

they are all micro atx

wheat coral
#

i have seen 3 people in the last week say its an awful board/has die don them

desert gulch
#

Here's the coupon for microcenter 5600

#

Brings it down to $125

#

Which is a amazing price for it

oak jay
#

yeah i paid like 200 for my 3600

desert gulch
#

Mhm yea

earnest olive
#

pog i think i found a buyer for my 5700xt rig

#

yo $125 for a 5600?

oak jay
#

what chipset is best atm?

desert gulch
#

Z690 if talking consumer grade gaming

earnest olive
#

if you're on ryzen b550 is good for 99.9% of users

desert gulch
#

But yeah value wise b550 is great

#

Depends if they pick up the 5600 at mc or not

oak jay
#

ok im calling is this is what im going to go off of

#

stuff is probably going to change but in general this is the build

wheat coral
#

how much is a p31 gold 1tb

mossy venture
#

110 i think

winter marsh

Howdy ho

Btw you can find used 5600X CPU's on Ebay for as low as $175.99

similar to superposition

Is it just a 12700F? Or 12700KF?

nah bro that is a really good cpu

just F sadly

is it ?

desert gulch
#

yeah

dapper crypt
#

it's clock speed is 2.1GHz tho

desert gulch
#

base?

#

thats not boost at all

cyan ravine
#

It's good. But you won't benefit from Z690 with it unfortunately.
Fortunately the board might be somewhat ok with it, in a twist of irony

south cliff
#

Also i have a question is it fine if my cat sits on top of my pc?

potent portal
#

I highly doubt they're giving you a Z690 board if they're just giving you the non-K

desert gulch
potent portal
#

If they do they're dumb

dapper crypt
desert gulch
dapper crypt
#

but that's overclocking it, is it not?

desert gulch
#

sooo

#

nah thats just boost

dapper crypt
#

they are giving stock cpu cooler most likely

#

oh

desert gulch
#

but its a great cpu

cyan ravine

What you want is a good B660 board with a 12700F like an MSI A Pro
