[strong raft]

So did we confirm you're trading that z590 mobo for a suitable b550 (AM4)?

[fossil cedar]

Uh then it's 3ed party seller, 125 is 12100 for mew

[manic kettle]

Amazon was playing games with my money so I went with new egg

The chip was new

[ripe spear]

You keep forgetting i am Canadian https://www.newegg.ca/intel-core-i3-12100-core-i3-12th-gen/p/N82E16819118370

That is how much an i3 12100 is in Canada

[fossil cedar]

I'm not

[ripe spear]

I know you're not Canadian

[fossil cedar]

10100f

[manic kettle]

I'll see what I can get for value trade in at a comp shop

[fossil cedar]

12100f

[ripe spear]

Ya i don't buy the F variants

[fossil cedar]

It's 40$ cheaper and if You're that tight on budget you should

[manic kettle]

Maybe highest Intel chip and a dim or 2

[ripe spear]

Also the optiplex i was talking about earlier was for me to slap in a GPU and sell it for more

[manic kettle]

This amd was like $450

[bitter mason]

I mean watch ebay

[manic kettle]

Well ima go look around

[bitter mason]

I got a Z590 Pro AX with some CM air cooler & a 11600K for $230 the other day

[ripe spear]

For building an actual system as well i could get a Xeon X5650 for 60$ CAD and this GIGABYTE GA-EX58-DS4 for 55$ CAD

Slap it in a decent mid tower case and slap my old not used thermal take smart 600w PSU LOL

oh with a 240gb 2.5" SSD lol

[bitter mason]

sometimes woot.com has good deals (they're an amazon company, free shipping w/ prime account--dunno what that means in the Great White North)

[ripe spear]

I tried woot and for most things doesn't ship to Canada (for the things i wanted)

[manic kettle]

Doing water cooling corsair, with EZDIY moon RGB fans, a hellhound graphics board, thermaltake rgb power supply, 4 rgb pny 16 gig Dim cards

[bitter mason]

which optiplex is it again?

[ripe spear]

i7 6700 with 16gb memory and a 256gb SSD

[bitter mason]

not this one right?

[manic kettle]

My cpu box is 2ft x 2ft tall

[ripe spear]

6th gen and up would be the newer "sleeker" looking cases

[bitter mason]

which case?

which CPU?

[manic kettle]

Thermaltake 900 tower

[bitter mason]

I love thermaltake

[ripe spear]

There now he can post images lol

[bitter mason]

every wednesday they do thermaltake live stream

[manic kettle]

Cool

[bitter mason]

I've won RAM twice & an argent mouse haha

[manic kettle]

My whole system is gonna be lit

[bitter mason]

I did a 5900x in a Level 20 GT

& 10900K in a View71

[manic kettle]

Using uv blue on my cooler fluid

[bitter mason]

trios in the level 20 & quads in the View 71

[manic kettle]

My ezdiy are the moon color type

[bitter mason]

I started with EK electric purple

don't ever buy that trash

unless you wanna clean your blocks for hours

I just put some mayhem's dye in distilled now

[manic kettle]

I figure push all the air out and ur good

[bitter mason]

opaque coolant is for taking pictures of your build & that's it

[manic kettle]

Still gotta bend pipes and stuff

[bitter mason]

stuff is a nightmare

ah that's the fun part

/nightmare haha

[frank stirrup]

Gary have u seen official ryzen 5 5800?

[bitter mason]

took me 14 hours to do 10900K

[frank stirrup]

[bitter mason]

I have not

[manic kettle]

Getting the kit

[bitter mason]

ya definitely get the bending mold things & the insert

[frank stirrup]

Official amd account btw

Lmao

[bitter mason]

16mm OD?

[manic kettle]

Lol looks like a predator

[bitter mason]

what the heck lmao

[manic kettle]

All the black tubes

The gun on shoulder

Needs a 3 point Lazer sight now

In shape of a triangle

[bitter mason]

& Sylvester Stallone riding on top

[manic kettle]

A predator helmet would be a cool cpu build

[bitter mason]

oh so if you have to do some crazy offset bend here's the way to cheat (but you have to be willing to cut or ruin your bending insert lol):

[manic kettle]

The eyes a cd drive

I bought a extra set of hard pipes

You use a heat gun

[bitter mason]

put the bending insert all the way inside the pipe so that it's flush with the end

put the piece into the first connector

heat it a little to get it close to where it needs to go

[manic kettle]

I'll deffinately get creative

[bitter mason]

then cut it with the bending insert in it so it ends up flush on that side too

then heat the heck out of the pipe

[manic kettle]

I may do a design

[bitter mason]

force it where it needs to go

cut more if you have to

then force it into the 2nd connector

let cool, force bending insert out with a screw driver

profit

[manic kettle]

The kit has all that including bends and saw

Also bevels

[bitter mason]

is it acrylic?

the pipe

[manic kettle]

It's hardliners so probably

[bitter mason]

acrylic is harder to bend & cut but has higher melting point than PETG

[manic kettle]

Yup

[bitter mason]

like it suckkksss to cut

gotta use the saw or it'll crack cuz it's brittle

[manic kettle]

Lol there's a circular cutter

[bitter mason]

PETG is a lot easier

[manic kettle]

Corsair is good stuff

[bitter mason]

oh alright cuz I was gonna suggest get a tubing cutter or PVC cutter from home depot instead of using that saw

[manic kettle]

Heat the saw blade and bam like butter

[bitter mason]

I have the Corsair hydro block that I used on 10900K in the first loop

[manic kettle]

I think it's same 1

[bitter mason]

it was pretty good

[bitter mason]

I can't really make a fair comparison tho cuz I used liquid metal on the thermaltake one I used on 5900x & the EK I used on 10900K second attempt

[bitter mason]

uh

Z590 is an Intel board tho

[manic kettle]

Live and learn

[bitter mason]

B550 or X570 (or X570S for no chipset fan) for 5900x

[manic kettle]

I will go higher end and break even

[ripe spear]

You forgot A520 lol

[manic kettle]

Still things I need to get

[bitter mason]

true but I need overclocking lol

[manic kettle]

The pny cards are tight

[bitter mason]

you're blocking the CPU only then?

[bitter mason]

check out performance-pcs.com

they have like everything ever for custom loops

[bitter mason]

is that PNY the 4600c19-26-26-46?

[manic kettle]

I have 4

[bitter mason]

damn what are you gonna do with 6 SATA cables? lol

[ripe spear]

ah custom loops a good like 3 to 9 hours of building

[bitter mason]

lol took me 14 last time

[manic kettle]

I do it little by little

I'm an artist

I want to play scorn on it

[ripe spear]

If i was to ever do a custom loop i want to do copper tubing (cause i would do a whole steampunk build)

[bitter mason]

definitely have a plan

that pipe gets expensive quickkkk

also, that performance-pcs has an ebay store where you can do OBO

[manic kettle]

Lucky I work a civil job too lol

Civy

The copper sounds cool

But copper turns green

[bitter mason]

copper pipe or copper cold plate on the block(s)?

[manic kettle]

Try gold or silver plate

Electroplating

[bitter mason]

I get the nickel-plated cold plates cuz they don't react with liquid metal like copper does

[manic kettle]

I know a guy who does chrome plating

[bitter mason]

that would look bad ass

do all your bending & all that before you chrome plate tho

[manic kettle]

Yeah he does bike rims and pipes and handlebars

I just like colors, I own a harley lol

My pipes change rainbow colors

[fossil cedar]

Cancel the psu

[manic kettle]

Vance and hines

[bitter mason]

I saw this yesterday & thought it looked pretty bad ass https://www.ebay.com/itm/234315197522?hash=item368e462c52:g:7bcAAOSwj5RhqPtn

[manic kettle]

I got my Thermaltake tower, I've installed my 12 EZDIY fans

Insanely lit

[frigid night]

Not enough fans. Need moar.

[manic kettle]

Going to be massive air flow

[manic kettle]

There will be

Lol

[bitter mason]

block the gpu bro haha

[manic kettle]

I wonder if I can shape my pipe like a big hand flicking off Intruders

Or I dunno a independent cross

[bitter mason]

if you have the time & patience

might need some 45 fittings tho

[manic kettle]

I got all the time in the world for some choice art

[bitter mason]

it's hard to do bends over 90 degrees

well in tight space I mean

plenty of space in that case tho

[strong raft]

Under* 90 degrees?.

[bitter mason]

eh 45 degree bend in tight space is easy

180 degree is not

like for edges of independent cross or something

albeit I'm assuming I know which one that is lol

[manic kettle]

My art

[bitter mason]

lol you bend that & I'll freak the hell out

nicely done tho. wish I had that level of artistic talent

[manic kettle]

I made the orriginal art on the monster import can, the tattooist stole it

[bitter mason]

gotta hide a watermark in there next time or something

[manic kettle]

Tattooists are tracers

I do my own art

I'm an ex REACH arts student

My crew serves

Well gotta get going, gonna look up local shops

[jagged ember]

isn't that the grenade launcher

needs an 6-10x scope on it for long range grenading

[sharp temple]

Is there any company that does something like evga step up but instead of first 90 days it's all time?

[rich void]

I don't know of any other company in the space that has a step up program at all

[manic kettle]

1st is 50 cal or mounted deuce, and other is bravo 240

Wideus the right was discontinued because it was bulky and dangerous

It's a separate piece that goes on a bravo 249

The 50 cal is the oldest and only riveted weapon in the army

It's also the heaviest gun without the newer tripod It's 95+ pounds

[sharp temple]

Worth custom watercolor this system? 3060 5600x?

[desert gulch]

Not at all

The aio is also quite overkill unless looking to turn on pbo 👀

[boreal notch]

This might not be possible but does anyone know of a motherboard under a $100 with a USB-C port?

[stoic island]

for what CPU?

[boreal notch]

well right now I have a ryzen 5 3600 but I plan to upgrade to a ryzen 9 5900 x very soon

[stoic island]

I would like to note you can just use a dongle or extra usb card or something like that, but this might be the cheapest b550 board with usb-c
https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b550-pro4/p/N82E16813157941

[boreal notch]

well I'm running vr and a dongle slows it down. and I had a usb card but my new GPU is too thick for the usb card to fit on the motherboard

[stoic island]

With 3.2 gen 1 port and dongle it wouldn't be too bad

and there's always internal usb

[latent junco]

Anyone have a recommendation for an adapter/bracket that would make a Intel i7 LGA 1700 Compatible with a iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Water Cooler?

[stoic island]

You'll have to go ask corsair for the bracket

[green egret]

Can someone help me with my case fans argb / rgb. I just don’t want to mess up

[wheat coral]

plug in the thingies

[green egret]

I short circuited my motherboard one time by doing that

[wheat coral]

read the manual

theres not much we can help about

[obsidian wigeon]

if it shorted out

you did it wrong

like floppa said, read the manual

[green egret]

Ok

I can’t find my manual online anywhere

[stoic island]

What motherboard?

[green egret]

For my case argb

Td500 mesh

[stoic island]

What motherboard is it though

[green egret]

Msi b660 mortar wifi

I remember the case manual said specific companies use rgb header and others use argb

And I got confused with my gigabyte motherboard and fried the whole thing and all the fan colors

[stoic island]

manual:
https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/MAGB660MMORTARWIFIDDR4_MAGB660MMORTARDDR4.pdf

td500 mesh is argb

[green egret]

Wow it spec if ally says that in the msi manual? That’s awesome

[stoic island]

manual for td500 mesh is at the bottom of the page here
https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-td500-mesh-2021/#item1

[green egret]

It doesn’t specify in the online manual anymore

[stoic island]

I mean use the td500 mesh manual for installation

product page tells you it's argb

[strong raft]

[south cliff]

hola

[winter marsh]

time to plot my next upgrade

Prices haven't dropped on graphics cards yet so I may skip forward to the monitor

[south cliff]

well they kinda have been going down

well i just oced and undervolted my 6700xt this was before score

and aftedr

this is after

and max temp was 62C

[frank stirrup]

what clocks u running?

[south cliff]

these some of my settings

@frank stirrup

[frank stirrup]

my daily

[south cliff]

do you got 6700xt?

[frank stirrup]

6750xt

same card

just higher clocks

[south cliff]

you should lower your voltage a little

[frank stirrup]

Ehhh

[south cliff]

well my gpu driver just crashed

[desert gulch]

its not even paying attention to the voltage xD

its at like 2600ish mhz that the card wont care about the volt slider and just crank whatever voltage it needs to hit those clocks

youd need to be like 2550-2600ish to have the card obey your volt slider

[frank stirrup]

IDK about that one chief

[frigid night]

Hey, I have a customer that is wanting me to build him a pc just to be able to play Microsoft flight Sim or whatever it is.. He already has the peripherals and stuff to play except the 3 monitors that he'd like to use. He has a budget of anywhere between $800-$1000. Do you guys have any suggestions?

[frank stirrup]

not gonna happen tbh

unless its 1k without monitors

with monitors, its a nop

Id assume its monitors too since he said "He already has the peripherals and stuff to play except the 3 monitors"

@frigid night pls confirm

[weak grotto]

Does any one know how to fix no display from a b550f ryzen 7 5700g

[frigid night]

1k without monitors

[weak grotto]

Boot led is on

[frank stirrup]

ok cool

[frank stirrup]

[frank stirrup]

aio irrlevent

do u have teh wifi version?

[weak grotto]

Yes

[frank stirrup]

If you can make it cheaper.. then by all means please.

[frank stirrup]

u would be surprised

He is also wanting storage for all his movies.

He doesn't access them all the time though.

Lol

He has a hdd with movies on it, but his hdd is ollddd

[frank stirrup]

format a usb drive to fat32
put the correctly named bios on to it
plug it into the back of the motherboard
Press the bios flashback button thats also on the rear io panel of ur board

@weak grotto

teh download link has a description on the bios download that tells you how to rename

[frank stirrup]

ok gimme 5 mins

usd yeah?

[frank stirrup]

Has to book 12hr flight + taxi to go to nearest microcenter

[frank stirrup]

yeah its a very nais but cheep case

[visual notch]

Gurl, that case is $57. For $57 dollars, it's an amazing case.

[frigid night]

Pfft.

[visual notch]

lol

[frigid night]

Lol nah.

Nope

And they won't ship to me

[frank stirrup]

motherboard box is free

[frigid night]

Yeah

[frank stirrup]

motherboard box bes case

ultimate price to perf

penultimate airflow

microcenter only good for cpus and ram anyway

prices for everything else is ehh

there is convenience in not having to leave your house too

Amazon does same day in my city

theres more cities with amazon same day shipping than cities with microcenters too

[earnest olive]

technically if I make an 8 hour drive to microcenter it's still same day

how much is rent

[visual notch]

Free

but you're slave labor

[earnest olive]

on my way

[visual notch]

and they have you selling 6500XTs

only

[earnest olive]

wait

[visual notch]

on commission

[earnest olive]

okay wait

I bundle 6500xt with i3-12100 non-f

problem solved

day saved

[ebon nest]

can someone send a 500-600 usd pc part picker list

[earnest olive]

I can't I'm poor

[frank stirrup]

u live in the us yeah?

[ebon nest]

no uae

[frigid night]

My beautiful @frank stirrup Rawr, is there a cheaper build that'll run msfs that isn't so new? Or is that gonna be the best budget option?

[ebon nest]

but prices are relatively the same

[frank stirrup]

usd useless then

[earnest olive]

for msfs the budget option is a 3070

[frank stirrup]

There are cheaper things thatll walk msfs

not run

[earnest olive]

I did a 10600k 3070ti build for my customer and he was so stoked to see 60 fps at 1080p finally

lmao

oced the 3070ti as well

[frank stirrup]

ive played 60fps on my rx570

[frigid night]

Ok. I'll just let him know that's about the best price:performance.

[frank stirrup]

at 720p all low

[earnest olive]

I benched it at 100 fps, but he said he was using some really complicated plane/scene or something idk

and he was using ultra settings

[upper condor]

I'm planning on upgrading my setup, what would be the first step?
Here's my current full setup:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RjDck9

Built it early 2020 so the part combinations might seem weird lol

[stoic island]

Seems a bit soon to be upgrading for me, but new monitor and GPU perhaps

[upper condor]

I think a part I have is faulty or something, it runs a lot of games it should run fine really badly

And is super glitchy a lot of the time

Might've installed something wrong 😅

[stoic island]

GPU drivers always the first thing to check

Random bloat can be a factor

There was something about new agesa update fixing some stuttering issues but haven't looked too much into that yet

1.2.0.7 or whatever

[upper condor]

I don't think I have those so I'll check

[still roost]

agiraffe#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upper condor]

Oh woops

Some games just have really messed up graphics and I can't seem to find anyone else who has similar problems with it

It's mostly games with TAA; it just makes it so INSANELY blurry that it's unplayable

But most people it seems fine

[fossil cedar]

Ddu time

!ddu

[still roost]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[fossil cedar]

But yeah assuming you're playing gpu bound games, gpu, maybe upgrade to 32gb of ram, upgrade to 1440p?

[upper condor]

I don't think I've run DDU once for 2 and a half years LOL

Im going to do that now

[fossil cedar]

Follow the guide

[upper condor]

And is there a way to update BIOS without a flash drive?

[frigid night]

@fossil cedar Success on 12 fans plugged into 1 argb

[fossil cedar]

Uhh you don't have one? It's the best way, sometimes you can do it in windows but I really don't like that

@earnest olive is this why you dont ship pcs

[winter marsh]

@analog pulsarThat was hit by a forklift...

[analog pulsar]

bro a forklift would have done more damage

[merry badger]

I need some opinions

would y'all use a refurbished SF750?

[frank stirrup]

price?

[merry badger]

$90 off of a guy on hws

[frank stirrup]

nope

why do u need an sfx psu btw?

[merry badger]

downsizing my current build

[frank stirrup]

itx?

[merry badger]

yuh

[frank stirrup]

what cpu and gpu

[merry badger]

3600 and 1080ti

Those aren't great prices

G6 650 and asus tuf cheaper

For 750 earthwatts or g6

[frank stirrup]

sfx?

[south cliff]

Well I just got a Alienware r5 with a i5 9400f 1tb hdd 8gb of ram and a gt710 I just put in there because it didn’t have gpu for 10 dollars

[frank stirrup]

but

whyy

[south cliff]

Wdym

[frank stirrup]

u have a better pc already

[south cliff]

I can resell it

For profit

[analog pulsar]

gunna become demon 2.0

120 rad

[south cliff]

It says 360 on the parts list

[analog pulsar]

i see that

[dense zephyr]

Does anyone know what this warning is and how to fix it

I can’t pull up the photo but it is taking about who I might need to upgrade the mother board with bios or smth

[frank stirrup]

dm me

the photo

[earnest olive]

that looks so disgusting LOL

[earnest olive]

what did you do kenzie 💀

[analog pulsar]

[frank stirrup]

9700k doesnt even support quad channel mem

its 2dpc

[fossil cedar]

Yeah that's just someone not pc knowledgeable

I see their logic tho

[frank stirrup]

also too spensive for the parts

[fossil cedar]

Someone tells them 2 sticks is dual channel therefore they think 4 must be quad

Embarrassingly expensive yeah

[frank stirrup]

you aint gon becom demonmit 2.0 by thinking that pc is a deal

[fossil cedar]

Demonmit is a one of a kind being with the god given ability to get amazing pc deals don't think anyone can be 2.0 xD

[visual notch]

He's a Demon, what do you expect?

[south cliff]

Should I buy gpu for the pc i bought and resell it?

[frank stirrup]

maybe demonmit 0.1.3 pre release alpha

[analog pulsar]

yea

[merry badger]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/ver2yk/usatx_h_cm_850w_sfx_gold_arctic_liquid_freezer_ii/ any glaring issues with this psu?

[frank stirrup]

yes its unecessary when you can get the 650W one thats more than enough for you for a lot cheaper, and get good service for it

[earnest olive]

i'm like demonmit 0.5

[formal girder]

Im just me 1.0

[fossil cedar]

Apart from poor pricing on this, no

[mossy venture]

Oh didn't realize

[south cliff]

Got the pc all working just reinstalling windows

[full atlas]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jdvCrD might build this for my grandpa

[mossy venture]

I'd get the g5 or asus tuf for the psu

Oh wait, sfx

[full atlas]

No it’s matx

Anyways I’ve changed psu to the tuf

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GrCvZw

[full atlas]

Monitor and case are too big but I’ll keep the psu change

[fossil cedar]

24" is too big?

[full atlas]

Yeah 22” is the biggest that will fit where it’s gonna go

Ripppp

[manic kettle]

So the person who had my hellhound graphics card bailed on sale and part of my refund came back from New egg so I'm getting the right processor chip this time

My Asus Maximux ROG XIII will have an Intel 9 unlocked chip

Maximus sorry

The Maximus is a Hero version

I will save the AMD for another board

Maybe a crosshair

I will tweak more fans in mix to keep hard drives etc cool and lit

I have hotwired some really cool stuff

Made a small laptop cooler out of a fan and a DVD case before

USB access

[potent portal]

So the 10900k is what you want then. It's actually better than the 11900k in almost every way.

[manic kettle]

I had the Ryzen 9 5900x processor but I'm keeping it for future build

New egg has zip so on payment plan it's easier

I'm like Bruce Wayne on a budget

Just think of the first Ironman suit.

Big and effective

[potent portal]

Ok just keep in mind for the price of a new 10900k you can buy a Z690 motherboard and 12700k

[manic kettle]

I have most of my stuff the processor was holding me up on the build

My corsair cooler setup is on way

[potent portal]

Ok well I just double checked and the price difference isn't as big as I thought, so go for it

[manic kettle]

Those EZDIY fans are gonna look tight on my build

The moon type colors whatever they call em

Turquoise, blue,purple

I want as much heat out as I can get

My Thermaltake power supply had a funny smell when I got it so before I do water cooler I will check to see if it cuts on, possibly they may have done a smoke flush to see if it was pushing out air flow.

It was an RGB version

I watch a lot of Jay's 2 cents

YouTube is a wonderful thing

[potent portal]

Is it the toughpower rgb one?

[manic kettle]

It was a gold series but not sure on type

Maybe

[potent portal]

Do you have a link? They have a lot of RGB power supplies and even the gold ones can be C tier

[manic kettle]

Usually before I build anything I collect all the parts but this I do a little at the time

[potent portal]

Oh even better they have an E tier RGB one

So it could be literally any quality

[manic kettle]

Tough power rgb grand 850w

[potent portal]

Ah good that's one of the A tier ones

[manic kettle]

Welcome to my mess

[potent portal]

Wait... no it's B tier for the gold, the A tier is platinum

[manic kettle]

Fans like this on both sides still got 2 left

12

And I fixed a Thermaltake fan I took out so I got 2 big ones to vent out more heat from bottom

I love hot wiring 2 volt stuff

9 to 12v I mean

Shoulda seen my old dell, had a blue skull

Lit

Starting off with a WD red 12TB hard drive

[analog pulsar]

so do i have to buy more ram to run game

[manic kettle]

Depends on the type of game

[analog pulsar]

Satisfactory

[manic kettle]

Smaller games should play without it

I bought 4 16gb pny xlr8

[stoic island]

just go play factorio

[manic kettle]

Steam seems fun

I normally buy my games hard copied

[analog pulsar]

ew

[analog pulsar]

well i was just wonder if i need to run to store and pick up a 32 kit of ram

[manic kettle]

There's various prices but I like PNY myself

Decent price

I hear MSI stuff is good

[analog pulsar]

it crashed again

[manic kettle]

A terabytes might help depending on game

Terabyte

Wouldn't hurt

[analog pulsar]

huh

[fossil cedar]

Set page file size to auto

[analog pulsar]

i think it is

[manic kettle]

I see the problem anything Unreal Engine crashes a lot

[fossil cedar]

Double check

[manic kettle]

I hear this a lot from gamers

[analog pulsar]

@manic kettle its not an issue for its just we download mods

[manic kettle]

Alright

[analog pulsar]

where

[mossy venture]

can also shut down stuff running in the background

[manic kettle]

I watch a lot of streamers on twitch

[analog pulsar]

there nothing running in background

thats about all

[manic kettle]

Any old cache you got off sites you can free up would help. Check your history

[fossil cedar]

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/opw/8.2.0?topic=tuning-optional-increasing-paging-file-size-windows-computers steps 1-5

[analog pulsar]

this didnt help

ram thing isnt under this

gosh darn it

gotta go under perfromace then advance

[manic kettle]

The way I do it is look up the setup of all physical parts to see what it can take

[analog pulsar]

@fossil cedar

[manic kettle]

Gotta look at your options

[manic kettle]

My dumb self got an amd when clearly my motherboard box had Intel core z590 printed on it

[fossil cedar]

That's it uesh

Hmm

[manic kettle]

Live n learn

I like to go big on anything I buy

Esp showing build skills

[analog pulsar]

what i do now

[manic kettle]

I like lights,bells n whistles so to speak

I have some cheaper Bluetooth color change speakers that will make my rig pop

[frigid night]

Why does your discord take up so much ram?

like.. it's taking up as much as a full blown game lol

[fossil cedar]

What was the error?

[analog pulsar]

i think low ram

hows this ?\

[fossil cedar]

Send the error?

[frank stirrup]

Garbage

[analog pulsar]

i talked to tomie she thing its bc ram issue]

[frank stirrup]

Dont think. Know or let someone who can figure it out take a look. Otherwise ur just wasting money on things that probably wont fix issue

[frank stirrup]

Copy paste error pls cant read in the pic

[analog pulsar]

yea but it happened twice i showed pics ram goes up then gme crashes

[frank stirrup]

Too low res

[frigid night]

skill issue 😉

❤️

[analog pulsar]

i dont have the error i closed the report

[potent portal]

Looks like memory filled up and it died when it tried to page out

[frank stirrup]

Yep

I wonder why it failed to page tho

[potent portal]

Poor programming can do that, or if page file isn't big enough

[frank stirrup]

It do be a beta game too

And page file is on auto

[potent portal]

Programming is definitely sus then

File it as a bug report, crashes when memory fills

[analog pulsar]

so do i need more ram orrrrrrrrrrrr

[potent portal]

Then lower settings

[frank stirrup]

Set a static page file to like 20 giga or so and try again

[potent portal]

I don't think that much is necessary lol

A good 5GB should do, just make sure it's on nvme and expect it to slow down a lot

[frank stirrup]

You would be surprised at how awful windows can be at managing page files... Ive crashed in games because my 20gb page file filled up

Apex especially

[analog pulsar]

its at 8Gb rn with crashing

[potent portal]

Then yeah it's probably just not well programmed for reading paged out addresses

[analog pulsar]

also i would like to say im playing with mods

[potent portal]

Lowering some ram related settings could help

[analog pulsar]

mods in incrase ram some times

[frank stirrup]

Every time pretty much

[potent portal]

They can depending on the function and complexity of the mod yeah

[frank stirrup]

More stuff to load in either way

[analog pulsar]

yea bc i loaded into game i saw then loading screen popped up then game crashed

[potent portal]

Especially if it's textures it's loading for the mod, has to pass it all through memory to get to the GPU

[fossil cedar]

Apparently page is set to auto soo

[fossil cedar]

25gb wasn't enough for COD

[analog pulsar]

i increased ram page file

20GB

[fossil cedar]

Just set to auto

[potent portal]

Guess we need 64GB RAM now after all

[analog pulsar]

autos not working pato

we already tried that

look at pics i sent above

they were all set to auto

[fossil cedar]

Indeed xD i had 16gb ram + had 25gb page and only cod + disc open

[analog pulsar]

my ram rn

[potent portal]

211GB commit XD

[analog pulsar]

rawr said 20GB

i think i did it

maybe i added to many 0s

[fossil cedar]

It should hmm

@analog pulsar you need to restart after setting page files btw

[analog pulsar]

i did

[potent portal]

Only if you decrease or change start value, just changing max doesn't matter

[fossil cedar]

double check it looks like this

[analog pulsar]

im in game now

[analog pulsar]

PATO I FREAKING PINGED you

qwgkmheniorethiojhte

AUTO

[fossil cedar]

just double checking because 2nd was too cropped lol

[analog pulsar]

well yea bc i had to click change to see if it was auto'

[viral ore]

yall trying to help kenzie with another "issue"

gl

[analog pulsar]

@viral ore just leave if you not gunna help why you gotta create issue for

[fossil cedar]

Yeah just set it higher than 20 if it crashes again then

[analog pulsar]

okay

@fossil cedar okay lets see what happens

@fossil cedar i think the commited was getting full

[fossil cedar]

That's fine as long as it doesn't crash

[analog pulsar]

okay im in

looks like it was crashing bc page file full

its fixed thannks @fossil cedar

lol

@fossil cedar AHHHHHHHH PATO

it crashed again

it froze then ram started to get eated then boom

[potent portal]

Hard drive got slammed too, something was loading in

[analog pulsar]

yea game froze hard drive wehn to 100%

[potent portal]

The CPU/GPU usage dropped at the same time as hard drive spiked, so there's a bottleneck there also

[analog pulsar]

idk

i was getting 170FPS in game

[fossil cedar]

More page file i guess

[frigid night]

"This is.. what's happening now..." sneezes I flippin lost it lol

I'm weird, don't judge

[desert gulch]

Hi weird, I'm Dad

[soft sable]

Sara told me to come here and ask for an opinion on this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xkc7C6

[mossy venture]

I would buy none of this

Where do you live, whats the budget, and what are you using it for

Only decent thing in there is the ssd, and while not worth the price the psu is atleast good quality

Ssd is a great one, id just recc 2tb mp33 if you're gaming

[soft sable]

My budget is just kinda under 2500 and I plan to use it for a lot of things, including gaming

[mossy venture]

Do you do productivity? As in, cpu intensive?

And foes 2500 include monitors and stuff, or just the tower

[soft sable]

Just the tower

[soft sable]

I do a little 3d stuff

[mossy venture]

Here you go https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jQDFXy

[soft sable]

Thank you

[mossy venture]

Np

[winter marsh]

Howdy ho

[soft sable]

Hello

[winter marsh]

Is it normal for a AIO to run two fans and limit the third by activity?

Or is that because it's plugged into a cpu fan controller?

[desert gulch]

That would mean the one plugged into the CPU fan header is on a separate curve

[winter marsh]

Yeah I tried increasing the response in BIOS but the system wouldn't boot from fan errors set at 100%

And the AIO headers don't work at all, as if meant for a open AIO system

It works as intended under a normal cpu fan setting, no Turbo or Max permitted....

[little osprey]

I have a terrible idea

something i figured i could use some opinions on

basically i dont want to drop $1k on a build for the summer because i dont have the money and for other reasons as well but i still want to upgrade

Would it be ideal to make a "zombie" computer with parts from my current computer and new parts i buy

[mossy venture]

Depends on your current build

[little osprey]

9400f and 1650

[mossy venture]

Can keep mobo, cpu, and ram

[little osprey]

Yeah

[mossy venture]

I'd get the g5 650 personally

Tho ig for the budget it'll be fine

Also there's a $390 6650xt

[little osprey]

oh i forgot to change the gpu

[mossy venture]

And lastly, new gpus drop soon enough. If you can survive with your current build for a bit longer, I would really recommend it

[little osprey]

i was thinking of putting it in my current case but then i forgot about atx standards

[little osprey]

nah im getting this build for the summer

i've waited 3 years

[mossy venture]

Theyre dropping in July, likely

[little osprey]

im too broke for that 💀

[mossy venture]

What's another month

[mossy venture]

Prices on current gpus should drop

Do what you want, if it were me I would but it's up to you

[little osprey]

You bring up a good point

As much as i would like to get new gen stuff or wait for prices to drop

its not that im impatient i just kinda want to be done with this computer stuff

my pc is full of problems and consistently lags during games

Maybe ill just cope longer

Yes

I do not plan to go to 1440p

My eyes are too 💩 to notice the difference

[viral ore]

24" 1080p all you need

[little osprey]

^ what i've been thinking

[little osprey]

i have g271

[viral ore]

good nuff

[mossy venture]

I was moreso talking about prices dropping

[viral ore]

1080 ultra

144fps

ez

[little osprey]

rn 6650xt is cheaper than 3060 right?

[mossy venture]

Yes

Normally

[little osprey]

6650xt is also in stock consistently

[mossy venture]

Both in stock all the time

Stock is no longer an issue

Oh wait

How much money do you have to spend rn?

[little osprey]

i have $900 but i'd rather not spend it all

[mossy venture]

There's a psu gpu bundle on newegg that might work for you, depending on what you can spend

[little osprey]

i would probably try to spend $600 max

[potent portal]

Midrange stuff usually launches Q1, so around February

[mossy venture]

Nvm oos

Was a 3060 ti and psu bundle for like 470 earlier

$505*

[boreal notch]

I got a quick question would this case: https://www.newegg.com/matte-white-black-nzxt-h-series-h510-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811146317?Description=tower case with usb c&cm_re=tower_case with usb c-_-11-146-317-_-Product&quicklink=true work with my motherboard and gpu? I have a Gigabyte Technology A320M-S2H-CF and a rx 6900 xt?

[mossy venture]

Please don't buy that

P400a, 4000d airflow, 5000d airflow are all much better choices than that

Also

Why the absolute hell do you have a 6900xt and an a320

What monstrosity are you putting together

Have you bought anything yet?

[boreal notch]

because I made a cheap computer a few years ago and now i just upgraded to a 6900

[mossy venture]

Well that answers that

[boreal notch]

so I should go for a new motherboard

[mossy venture]

Please don't buy the h510 though

[potent portal]

What processor do you have?

[mossy venture]

I mean, motherboard isn't exactly an upgrade

[little osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-ACFAN00137A-Value-Pack-Pressure-Optimized/dp/B07HC782D5 this is the right one correct

[mossy venture]

You'd want a cpu, mobo and possible ram upgrade

[boreal notch]

ryzen 5 3600

[little osprey]

4pin pwm

[boreal notch]

I plan to upgrade to a ryzen 9 soon

[mossy venture]

12700f is better value

Much better value

And same perf as 5900x

[mossy venture]

But for case, I'd get one of these

[potent portal]

That might hold back the 6900 XT in some games, and there's no way in hell an A320 board can handle a Ryzen 9. Most of them have no VRM heatsinks 🔥

[mossy venture]

3600 and 6900xt at 4k work surprisingly well together

1440p a bit less so, but not as bad as you'd think

I was expecting the cpu to be 3300x, 3500, 3400g or something 2000 series lol

[little osprey]

Hmmm.. If the hp motherboard doesnt line up nicely with atx standoffs could that cause a short on the motherboard? since some of the components on the back could be touching the case standoffs

[mossy venture]

Oh, also, what's your power supply?

[potent portal]

Yeah but still some more CPU heavy games like fs2020 and cp2077 will CPU bottleneck

[mossy venture]

Oh very much so

3600 is def a bottleneck, just less so than I used to

[boreal notch]

cougar gex 850 watt

[mossy venture]

Fal have you heard of that psu?

[boreal notch]

its 80 plus gold

[mossy venture]

Doesn't mean anything

Fal I'm on mobile can you check the tier list?

[potent portal]

B tier

[mossy venture]

Should be fine enough then

Wouldn't be my first choice to run a $1k gpu on, but not exactly worth replacing

[potent portal]

High end cards like the 3080/6800 XT and higher can trip protections on B tier units with power spikes draining caps too fast

[mossy venture]

6900xt doesn't spike as much as nviida cards do

[potent portal]

Even some A tiers have trouble

[mossy venture]

My 6800xt never spiked over 310w

And didn't trip on my 650w rmx

[potent portal]

They're micro spikes, like 5 ms

[mossy venture]

Well ig it hit 318

[potent portal]

And RMx is definitely not going to trip over that lol

[mossy venture]

Mm

[potent portal]

Micro spikes on the 3080 can hit 450W for 1-2 ms, long enough to drain a main cap and trip OCP

[mossy venture]

Is it high pri or low?

The cougar that is

[potent portal]

High

[mossy venture]

30 series def spikes higher than 6000

[autumn wolf]

@warped canyon do I have the cable for you, lol

[mossy venture]

From what I've heard/seen

Unless they're doing heavy ocing the psu should be fine

[boreal notch]

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do because I'm trying to run vr well but I still get pretty decent lag

[mossy venture]

What headset do you have?

Also don't nvidia cards work with vr better than amd?

[potent portal]

6900 XT still spikes above 450-500W according to Igor

[boreal notch]

quest 2. a big part might be the dongle im using I have no usb-c port

[mossy venture]

Still leaves ~300 on a bad day for the rest of the system

Which is plenty for a 12700f and fans and such

If it has trip issues I guess it could be an issue, but if it's high priority I doubt it does

[potent portal]

Yeah but it's more about the sudden load draining a cap before it can ramp up

[mossy venture]

@tough jungle any info on the cougar gex?

If already owned, is it fine to run a 6900xt on it?

[boreal notch]

yeah I already own both the gpu and psu

[potent portal]

Frog was pinging our resident expert, who literally helped write the tier list most people use

[little osprey]

If i use standoff risers for my motherboard, would that potentially make the gpu interfere with the side panel?

[boreal notch]

so how bad would the side affects be if I have the wrong psu

[potent portal]

It would shut off during heavy gaming load and require you to flip the switch on the back, wait a few minutes, and flip it back on in order to reset it

[boreal notch]

oh

I have had it for a few days and played some intensive games and nothing like that has happened

so it wouldn't just make my games laggy?

[potent portal]

Then you've not played a game that would trigger a sudden load spike

No it wouldn't have anything to do with lag

[boreal notch]

ok

so do you have any idea what would cause that

[potent portal]

What? Lag or shutting off?

[boreal notch]

lag

I think its probably the dongle

but normal games also lag

[potent portal]

A lot of the time it could be memory, cpu, or motherboard settings

But yeah if it's not on a fast enough USB connection it can cause issues too

It doesn't have to be USB C but it should be at least 20 Gb

[boreal notch]

is my cpu not good enough for my gpu?

[boreal notch]

how do I tell if its 20 gb?

[potent portal]

For most games in 1440p it'll be fine, 1080p you will get CPU bottlenecked

The port itself and any adapters, as well as the cable, all need to support the speed

So what motherboard, which port is it in, and what dongle are you using as an adapter?

[boreal notch]

so vr will bottleneck my cpu

[potent portal]

No the quest 2 is 1920x1832 so it's closer to 1440p in total pixels

[boreal notch]

its 3.0 from my case to a short what I believe is 3.0 to usb-c. motherboard is gigabyte a320m-s2h-cf

[potent portal]

Right but USB 3 has about 8 different standards and speeds

Which port on the motherboard do you have the adapter in?

[boreal notch]

I am not sure how to check what usb

[boreal notch]

my case port

[potent portal]

Ok so which case is it then

[boreal notch]

i could try a port on my motherboard. case is cooler master q300l

[potent portal]

3.1 Gen 1 is the max your mobo does, which is 5 Gb/s

[boreal notch]

oh

well it doesn't matter anyway if the adapter isn't good enough

[potent portal]

The official Quest 2 cable is 10 Gb/s so you might be throttling it a little there

Keep in mind also this is theoretical speed and actual throughput is much lower

[boreal notch]

so could that be why its lagging the cable just isn't good enough?

[potent portal]

The port itself

[boreal notch]

usb port?

[potent portal]

Yes

The motherboard is only capable of 5 Gb/s

[boreal notch]

so I should get a new motherboard?

[potent portal]

You kinda have the lowest of the low end chipsets on that thing but there is an alternative, using a PCIe adapter to get a higher speed port. That would be cheaper.

[boreal notch]

I think I have one, this? https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Extension-Bandwidth-External-RedComets/dp/B096ZK6C37/ref=asc_df_B096ZK6C37/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=545942253969&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15616674270477424583&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028786&hvtargid=pla-1393552538346&psc=1

[potent portal]

That would work, but still limits you to 8 Gb because it's only 1x on PCIe

That might be enough though

[boreal notch]

If so, I cant use one because my new gpu is so thick it blocks the port on the motherboard

[potent portal]

Ah right, micro atx

Welp there goes that idea

Unless you want to do a riser but that's getting close to cheap B550 board in cost

[boreal notch]

no new motherboard

any recommendations?

[potent portal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PDsnTW/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi

[boreal notch]

It doesn't have a usb-c port

that's probably a good idea

[potent portal]

The internal header supports 10 Gb speed, and some of the rear do too

[stoic island]

(looks to be specced to 5gbps too)

[potent portal]

I just walked away from my PC so I can't check

It said 3.2 gen 2 where I was looking

[stoic island]

msi does weird things sometimes
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B550M-PRO-VDH-WIFI/Specification

[potent portal]

It's possible pcpp has the spec wrong

[stoic island]

mobo sheet makes a note

pcpp prob being bad as usual

[potent portal]

Rip

[stoic island]

screw usb naming anyways

[boreal notch]

yeah I'm looking for usb-c and newest generation cpu support

[potent portal]

I'm glad USB 4.0 is only going to have 2 variants

[stoic island]

so far

[potent portal]

They specifically said they were only doing the 2

Well, not including the USB PD specs

As far as speed there's only going to be 20 and 40 Gb

[boreal notch]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144389?Item=N82E16813144389 is this any different?

[stoic island]

uh, for what cpu again?

[boreal notch]

well I have a ryzen 5 3600 but I'm gonna buy a ryzen 9 5900x

[stoic island]

z490 and z590 won't support amd chips

[boreal notch]

oh

[desert gulch]

Youre looking for a good b550 in terms of value, unless you need a ton more pcie gen 4 lanes

[frank stirrup]

What board u got rn wity the 3600

[boreal notch]

a really bad one

a320m-s2h-cf

[frank stirrup]

If ur upgrading board and cpu don't go amd

[boreal notch]

even though I have a amd gpu?

might be a dumb question

[frank stirrup]

Yes

The gpu doesnt care what cpu you use

And vice versa

[boreal notch]

so what would you recommend for a cpu and motherboard?

[frank stirrup]

Whats ur budget

[boreal notch]

well I was planning $400 for cpu and at most $200 for board

[frank stirrup]

So 600?

[boreal notch]

yeah

[cyan rune]

i know you didnt ask me, but the i5 12600k is a good cpu

[fleet heron]

I agree

Even though I know nothing lol

[cyan rune]

nope, i agree

[cyan rune]

same

[fleet heron]

The k is good apparently

So ye

[cyan rune]

i hired a friend to help me build my pc

[fleet heron]

Aw

Should have called me lol

[cyan rune]

by hired, i mean i sent him $1 on paypal

and demanded help

[fleet heron]

Daym

Should have send max .50

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dNj8LP

@boreal notch

[cyan rune]

i wanted the best of the best. so i paid top dollar

[fleet heron]

Fr

[cyan rune]

I still would reccomend saving the money and getting an i5 12600k

[frank stirrup]

Ehhh

[boreal notch]

and thats good enough for the rx 6900 xt

[frank stirrup]

More than

[fleet heron]

I wanted to build a PC last week and I lost my wallet 😭😭

But now I got it back lol

[cyan rune]

oh hey thats the same motherboard i have

[cyan rune]

we go bowling to celebrate this

[fleet heron]

I can't even afford bowling lmao

[cyan rune]

On me

[fleet heron]

Like your vibes tho

[cyan rune]

To congratulate

[fleet heron]

Yuhh

[cyan rune]

oh yeah so i put a figurine in my pc, because that's popular i guess

it's not really a full pic build, where do i post that kinda thing?

[boreal notch]

I am assuming I can't use the new motherboard with my current cpu

[frank stirrup]

Correct

[boreal notch]

alright

thanks for the help

[empty pollen]

saving money getting a k version? wut?

[cyan rune]

I meant to say save money getting an i5 12600k, versus an i7 12700k

[empty pollen]

oh, in fact he can save more money buying a 12700 or 12700f, better price/performance compared to the 12600k

never understood the k version on an i5 like... who wants to oc an i5 anyway?

[frank stirrup]

12600 sucks

12600 vs 12600k isnt just clock speed difference

12600 has no e cores

12600k does

So ur actually getting extra cores with 12600k

[empty pollen]

oh, now i get it

not for oc but just overall better

[cyan rune]

didnt know any of that until about 6 seconds ago, but yeah he's right i think

[obsidian wigeon]

12600k/kf and above has e cores

it's just kinda weird

12700 non k does have e cores

[empty pollen]

indeed, unlike the 700k and nonk version

they are virtually the same

[obsidian wigeon]

ye

and 12700f is usually cheap enough nowadays

like 320 bucks range atm

[empty pollen]

yeah, like 40 bucks more from a 12600k

less than 320

[obsidian wigeon]

and you get higher perf

[empty pollen]

more like 310

[obsidian wigeon]

oh damn

that's even better

[empty pollen]

yup, the non-f version is about 350

[obsidian wigeon]

last i saw it was higher

[empty pollen]

hoping for a similar price on the 13700f, or somewhat similar on a 7600x

[strong raft]

Was $90ish difference when 12600K was $230, lol. I should've bought it then

[frigid night]

Uhh.... me.

12600k has amazing oc capability

5.2 p core, 4.0 ecore 80c under 100% normal load. Takes 30 min of small fft prime95 to hit 100c, but only on 2 p cores.

For the price to performance ratio when I got it.. it was a no brainer lol

[frank stirrup]

Depends on silicon lottery

[frigid night]

That's with any pc part though?

[frank stirrup]

Yems

[frigid night]

Is that the opposite of nomz?

[frank stirrup]

I no kno wot nomz meens

[frank stirrup]

Ah

No

Yems is yes

[strong raft]

all 300ish mhz. Would be more exciting if stock max turbo wasn't already near 5ghz.

[frank stirrup]

@keen bobcat the pc you built looks exactly like this prebuilt

[tough jungle]

Pretty much an mwe gold

[frigid night]

You're just jelly over that extra 300mhz.

[strong raft]

Could do that on my 3550. (we love that extra voltage too huh)

[frigid night]

I'm undervolted

2.78

It wanted to push 3.4

On auto anyways.

I feel like with a nooiiice custom loop, I could get a substantial oc.. but idk much about the cooling effectiveness of custom loops.. I assume they can be way better than an aio.

But I wouldn't custom loop an i5 lol

[warped canyon]

Where did you buy that

[analog pulsar]

why OC when you can have manual boost

i just found this pic in another server 👀 they running just a tiny bit hot

[sand falcon]

Some decent power draw there too

[analog pulsar]

Its 6800xt

[glacial umbra]

so i've had my pc for a little while now

and just recently ive been having an issue where ill leave it running with nothing open except for maybe wallpaper engine and other background stuff

i haven't seen it happen but i come back to my pc "running" with a black screen on the monitor and the fans running at full speed

happened twice so far, once today and once a few days ago, not sure how to recreate it

nothing in windows logs and all my peripherals except for my mic turn off

Try ddu, if not you might have to rma the gpu
