This stuff is expensive and it is still an electrical component, safety should always be at the front of your mind when dealing with these things. Again you don’t know this guys skill level, and you can probably imagine someone who isn’t as knowledgeable as you seeing something potentially unsafe might not make them feel too great about you or your advice.
So that’s why you follow up with an educational resource to help them understand.
I learned it isn’t a hard task, and it’s relatively safe if you follow the video.
Therefor I would be more inclined to following your advice.
Ok, understood. I'll try my best next time,
Btw I'd like to know how it's going @gentle shale
Off with his head!
I’ve tried to do everything except do the jump start with the power supple
Cause I need to go buy paper clips lol
you can use anything that can conduct electricity like a screwdriver
wait i thought you meant jump starting the mobo, ignore me
Uuuh
a small cable you don't need? Nothing?
what is the best prebuilt for $1000 dollars right now
This has to be a pricing error or not legit seller( it would have to be an antonline impersonation)
https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-000F-01FP1
Excluding that one
https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali569-master/p/N82E16883360199R?item=N82E16883360199R
well 350k sales and almost 90%
must be a price error
prices seems ok on other hardware from them
very sus indeed
Worth a shot, will they honour it maybe not but if they do
yeah my friend is gonna try that one, and if not he will buy the other one
Lol
||definitely not going to steal it||
yeah maybe a huger error, thats 2tb of hard drive
1 ssd and 1 hdd
the 3070 alone is worth the 500
tempted as well
well, my friend is pulling the trigger right now soo im hoping it works out for him
that would be a hell of a deal
too good to be true
he bought it
Building a Rtx 3060 build for a friend, is this a good one: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/BmNXnt ?
PC Builder - Intel Core i5-12400F, GeForce RTX 3070 LHR, Lian Li LANCOOL 215 ATX Mid Tower
scrolling down and looking at the spec tab, it says the cpu is a 11700f
I bet the web site screwed up the links
yeah its kinda sus
but antonline name is on the line
indeed
the 3070 alone is worth the shot
anyhting else is just a big plus
he bought it and its shipping from the 15th to 17th lol
they can cancel the order at any moment, just pray
Unless the price changed, that looks normal
$950 for an open box 3060 build
Oh
Thought it was the same one, just linked weirdly
Yeah, forgot a 1 at the start lol
🤞
🙄
My guys upset no one answered his question in a discord where none of us get paid to help. Aside from the power supply and ram, it looks fine
He will only be gaming at 1080p
Get anything off of the A or B tier sections on the tier list pinned in #cases-psu-and-cooling
For ram, corsair makes terrible ram
There's a g.skill 3200c16 32gb kit cheaper than thwt
corsair is terribly overpriced in almost anything
And I've helped before looks to be same list they used that they made changes to
Looks like the price got corrected, any changes to your friend's order?
haven't checked yet ill check w/ him
i want a new build but should i wait for the 40 series and ddr5?
ddr5 is out, its just overpriced
sure but pcie 4 isn't
Can get ddr4 that's 4500c20 btw.
. Z690 has pcie4...
for a very loooong time
Perhaps he's thinking of AMD only. 
pcie is backwards compatible
so even if new gpus are pcie 5.0, it will still work on pcie 4.0
but then again new gen cpu's aren't here yet so that's my debate
im waiting for 13th gen before buying
pretty sure new gpu's won't be pcie5.0. current ones don't max pcie3.0 iirc
so then whats the point of waiting for 5.0
by the time pcie 5.0 is utilized properly, your cpu will not be holding up
pcie5 already exists in 12th gen
3770 says shush. 
like a year old by now
i'm aware but 13th gen better plus w.e amd cis coming with next
3770 says put me out of my misery
4790k here with 980ti
they won't be releasing pcie6 or 7 anytime soon
they'll release specs but that's about it
tech advance very rapidly, youll be amazed
thats why you cant plan on "future-proof" builds
idk when rumors state l1,2,3 caches will be much larger it makes me want to wait out
every generation release larger caches
thing is, on tech, waiting could end in an endless game
13th gen is Q4 of this year, really not far away. Finally AMD is going lga. AM5 and those cpus will be interesting to see
and 14th gen is next year
i can wait for 14th, but then i can wait on 15th as well and so on
thats how tech works
that's how it works for sure but the tech won't be changing...ex. pcie5.0, wifi 6, mb socket
So even though 40 series cards are supposedly coming out, I should just get a 3080 and go and even if the new ones are better, I’d be in a good spot
i suppose that stands considering dlss2.0 is out and you won't be needed fsr ugrade from amd. but it all depends on your usage i suppose. do you 4k game?
do you like building at end of life cycle or hop on next gen tech?
I plan to 4k game
But also there probably not a chance I get new tech at MSRP at launch
msrp is also going to be higher this time around from what i've read/heard
but 40 series 4k performance will beat 30 series no doubt
Imagine that. For 4k probably should think about the 4070 though, unless you can't wait those 6-7months
So should I build my whole build to be read for the 40 series and then just buy them as soon as I can?
what card do you have now?
i would personally wait then for the 40 series. i'm a bit desperate since i'm on a 980ti.
But then I could just buy the card and be 1000%
I’m not gonna buy a new GPU
But I’d rather build for it and be ready
one of my concerns with upgradability is that current sockets are at the end of their lifespan
Well the new 12pin is definitely way better for sure. Simpler for future 1st time builders also not dealing w/ 2 or 3 power ports on the gpu.
that is another major concern. great point. it will definitely be much more stable and hopefully power spikes will be a thing of the past.
I’m just worried about grabbing the card
Rn no matter what I’m getting a gem 4 ssd for my computer so I can boot windows faster and put some games in there
Even though my mobo has a gen 3 slot. It’s mainly for when I upgrade I can easily move over and be good
by then ssd prices will probably be better though
the boot speed difference between gen 3 and gen 4 is barely noticeable
lots of people will still be aiming for a discounted 30 series just based on budget. Btw P31 is still a great pick for ssd. Even a sata mx500 is barely slower during boot and game loading. Quite a few gen 4 ssds gettting well priced at least though.
buying new 30 series will be hard to come by since some production has been canceled to focus on 40 series sales (among other chips)
Pfft, can still easily get ballistix and that was discontinued 6-7 months ago. There's way more 30 series than those. Plus the used market is getting flooded as mining rigs are sold
have those psu's launched yet?
So should I just get the ssd now for my pc and then when next gen comes our, buy all my stuff then?
Because also I wouldn’t get DDR5 now when it will def get better
you'll get a better deal on ssd then as well
I mean do you need an ssd right now? I'll still suggest P31. Currently $170/2TB is pretty good, the P41 is $221. Some gen 4 are $200ish but it's about if those speeds are used.
I need an ssd now
And I was told it needs to have dram or whatever the heck it is
when in need there's never a better time then now. buy what you need.
P31 has dram, but actually dram by itself isn't a big deal. Sn770 proved that. P31 is basically the best gen 3 btw.
A lot of recommendations here are dramless lol
Yeah
And I wouldn’t need a heatsink with the p31
also power design phases is suppose to increase on next gen mb's right?
if you always wait for next gen, surprise, there's always a next gen to wait for
supposed to? dunno about that one, current mobos are getting overkill already
and mobo manufacturers are all predicting lower sales
mobo prices are too high now
i believe i read 18 phase will be here soon
they potentially will upgrade it but most are pretty overkill now
well then i'm not wrong lol
i think my gpu has 22 phases
Well duh
But if I build for next gen, that makes sense since we know it’s coming soon
22 if you count SOC phases
AMD next gen is this year righrv
supposedly
by this year q4 means you'll be buying it next year most likely due to availability
oof
i hope not
i remember how hard it was to get ryzen 5000
people were buying scalped ryzen cpus lol
What are phases, by the way?
Nah 12th gen was ez to get pretty quick. Bet 13th is similar. AMD is the wild card. I sure as heck not being a beta tester for amds lga
like vrm power stages
I know low phases are a bad thing for vrms, but I dont think I know what they actually do
Kk
Filters power for cpu is part of a vrm. Google it, voltage regulator something something. More is ok but a certain amount is "plenty".
I mean for gaming and multi tasking tho would next gen AMD be better then getting intel
We can't answer that
That's like asking a meteorologist what the weather will be like in a year
Not the best conparison, but true. Ask Doc Brown.
(Shame on whowver doesn't know this reference)
The 7900x could absolutely destroy the 13900k, while the 7600x could destroy the 13400
Or amd could absolutely sweep the competition and beat 13th gen all around, or vice versa
We have no way of knowing
Well you could predict that, not 100% certain, but predict
We cannot predict the performance of something that does not yet exist
I know but saying you can’t predict weather in the future isn’t true lol
you can always predict. that's the meaning of the word.
13th gen just adds/adjusts Ecores & ups the ipc a bit. Am5 will be Pcore & Ecore also afaik. Hah jimbo, guess vs predict.
We literally cannot
We have exactly zero way of knowing what the performance of next gen cpus will be like
For all we know, 12th gen could beat both of them lmao
you literally can. you can make an educated prediction based on the information you know is true today. we are not talking about wishful thinking here.
We know no information, because the cpus do not exist
Benchmarks do not exist
5600X3D on the way.
edit: someone needs to lookup the definition of predict vs guestimate.
All we have are core counts and leaks saying the caches on 7000 series will be higher
Which do not translate to us having guesses as to the performance
to get back to using the weather example, you don't need it to be raining now/here to predict it will rain. smh
Its like talking to a wall
that is why both intel and amd release architecture roadmaps. there is definitely information available. and then plenty of rumors.
While we have the roadmaps
We do not have any knowledge about the performance
Because that requires
The cpu
it's like talking to a frog? lol
you can almost certainly bank on the fact that a next gen product will outperform a current gen product.
And when comparing
Two things
That don't yet exist
We cannot tell you what will be better
furthermore when you consider things like new cpus will have more l cache fast memory you can safely predict that they will be better for gaming for instance.
There's more to a cpu then cache
Raphael could have higher cache, but still lose to raptor lake. Because that isn't all that matters
And we cannot tell you what will be better
Because we have no f***ing clue
a lot of times, like a weatherman, people get it still wrong despite all the information available lol
i guess time will tell. remember this convo. lol
You literally haven't said what would be better
This convo has amounted to nothing
because it was all based on predictions. that's all it is. predictions.
we should do a poll to see who here thinks a next gen product will be worse than a current gen.
Still clogging up build chat w/ broken records.

11th gen, with the exception of i5s, was worse than their 10th gen counterparts
10700k beats 11700k 9 times out of 10
Same with 10900k and 11900k
10900 was a 10core though... ill admit Simply having pcie4 or an extra m2 slot probably wasn't worth it.
that can certainly hold true but the fact remains that generally when a next gen product is released it will outperform current gen. it really isn't rocket science.
Yes, however
you make predictions. finshed it for you
Jimbo my man. We don’t need to be condescending.
Oh I'm being condescending too
To a much lesser degree
rocket lake certainly wasn't rocket science 
If this server wasn't sfw, I'd have cussed up and down by now
lol
no need to break a sweat. was just trying to help the other user decide whether to buy now or wait. but somehow we need to discuss on what the meaning of a prediction really means.
this reminds me of the latest exynos chip, that was predicted to be good but look at it now
you shouldn't get offended on a discussion chat. mute away.
1630 who? Haha
1030 super 
😂
they said similar things about 11th gen perf improvements though lol
intel 11th gen vs 10th gen?
9900K's done right have parity with 10th and 11th gen
yes i remember they weren't recommended versus previous gen iirc
another good example is the current gen exynos, and that was a product AMD had input with
not sure what they were saying at the time though. although companies due lie all the time.
exactly though, you reached the roundabout point of what we're saying
we understand they will try to release something better, but in reality, you don't know until it's out
companies love using in house benchmarks which rarely equate to real life performance comparisons in tasks users do
that's why even making educated predictions is grossly unreliable
there's too many variables
i understand that 100%. i wasn't saying it wans'nt the case
anyhow hope it's water under the bridge. not that serious.
I'm not mad, I've said more than I should by now 
def water under the bridge here lol
came in here to ask for build suggestion lol
Wouldn't even hurt if the past 100ish* msgz here were just purged 
I joined halfway so I wouldn't know 
can't log into my account in forums
indeed, my man, none around here can predict nor guess anything now, there is no chip yet, just rumors here and there, and no.... a newer gen dont automatically outperforms an older gen
i took my time to read all the chat, very... educational
weren't both the 10th and 11th gen on the same nm node process?
Yes 6th gen? and 11th gen whwre technically the same nm just revision
14nm+++++++++++++++++++++++?!+£-#!#+++++
also both used the same socket
hence why i was predicting improvements from one nm process node to another
i think it was Samsung or another manufacturer that said they were discontinuing fabrication of larger chips
Thicc dies save lives
Well yeah they're not gonna keep making an old node, you don't see apple still making the iPhone 11 
Tbf amd was minutes away from going bankrupt lol
very true
true which is why moving from a larger node process to a smaller one typically means improvements.
How many cpus have been ruined by bent/broken pins? INTEL = 
i think amd is moving to pins now also
lga yes
How many motherboards have been ruined by bent/broken pins?
Intel: 🤐
Much fewer.
Less innovation because of no competition = more profits 
Next gen is gonna cause so much confusion lmfao
Intel on lga1800, amd on am5
Both LGA CPUs, I wonder who's gonna try what we all would love to see
Am5 is gonna be lga 1718 anyway right?
Yeah
Talk about confusion
Intel is lga1800 tho
1700 atm
Lga 1700
Lga1800
confused already
Intel just doesn't use all the pins currently with 12th gen
But RPL will be on lga1800 and fit in the same socket ADL does
Which is gonna cause wayyyy too much confusion
What
Hell nah
uhh
Thank Intel for doing that
I think the latest slide said RPL was 1700
I aint counting pins screw that
gimme a sec
RPL is 1800
porbably ltt
Current adl mobos are 1700pins, and will simply work in lga1800 mobos
same size for the cover
it's still a 1700 socket lol
Current boards are lga1700/1800
12th gen just doesn't use the extra 100 pins on there
maybe 800 series mobos will have lga 1800 but both will be the same size for cooler brackets... and the cover
thats why cover says 1700/1800
same size
different pinouts
Here's this
Read it if ya want
14th gen being lga1800 would be smart for Intel for a change
tldr plz 😄
in the article
What I've been saying above lol
lol
This was right before ADL came out
so, alder is using less pins from the socket?
man, cant wait for raptor lake! i want my new pc now!
Which is gonna stir up a ton of confusion next gen, which is always fun
Atleast this confirms we will at least get RPL on 600 series boards, lol
yes
Never know with intel
all i need to buy for my new build is a cpu and mobo
Wouldn't be surprised if they switched to 1 CPU gen per socket lmfao
Damn traitor!
Keep the Raisin 5
intel is doing 2 cpus for next socket. amd will likely support there's for longer
i will only consider am5 if it supports ddr4
Getting like 5 years out of a am5 board would be sweet
Looks like you're going RPL buddy
They didn't guarantee anything tho it could well be 2 years
i'm thinking am5 with 40 series? is this the move?
I'll be watching all the lga1718 beta testers
no idea yet. lol
40 series may be insanely late, there's been some rumors of January lmfao
In which case rdna3 could be the way if everything is right
Can't know until we see reviews and pricing
The idea is cool but their execution isn't anything crazy
Mcm will just be for cache and io
It won't be like a 2x gaming perf type of deal
yeah but even still, they supposedly downgraded the specs
But it'll help them get their foot in the door with it
that could imply it was maybe too good? too much power? I'm extremely curious about it
especially the 32gb variant they apparently want to make
might be pointless if it's no good for workstation though
32gb but Nvidias most budget option still gonna slam it with cuda and tensor in productivity 💀
that's what I mean 🤷
Some people def gonna buy the 32gb version tho to "future proof"
I wanna see what they do with that one 👀
😦 well you know it already, confrimed no support for ddr4 😦
either raptor or am5+ddr5
as long as it offers decent gains over 12th gen
Dw, biostar 100% will make a d4 board 💀, now we just gotta have a diff CPU...
who knows maybe will be a ddr5 gear 1 imc on raptor lake 😄
if it doesnt, and am5 is decently better, then i might consider it
or i might just get a 12th gen cpu used
Thank you for that ^

Scrum
So who here is gonna put a zen 4 in a 600 series Intel board?
I want to see it
And you have to latch it btw
that looks terrible lol
But it's a rog thing, y'know
it's missing rgb though lol
Gl trying to fit any tower cooler on your board
to add to the confusion
Yeah screw Intel this gen
Atleast they learned and hopefully wont repeat lga1151 again...
That was a nightmare
history has a tendency to repeat itself. i wouldn't hold my breath.
i haven't used amd cpu's in years. how well do they hold up in reliability?
i remember i hated how hot they would get. and their gpu's.
for gpu's it's why i tilt to nvidia for their driver support. not sure on cpu's though.
5800x3d is basically a small fire but everything else is fine.
that's what i hate about this day and age of tech. let's make it juicier to squeeze performance vs power efficiency and performance
nono, the 5800x3d is perfectly efficient, just the ihs seems to not be as effective since theres a layer of l3 cache ontop of the cpu cores
so it kinda heats up real fast
only draws ~120watts at max
liquid cooling doesn't solve the problem?
depends on the aio
oh it does, its just a hot little chip
do any of you run the chip?
I do on air.
they also put like weird insulating glue inside the 5800X3D ihs
doesn't help much either
what aio would be sufficient? not sure i want to close loop.
id say at minimum A 360
lian li galahad 360
atm im running a dark rock pro 4 with some kryonaut for the memes, hits 90 in about 2 minutes of full load.
that's hot
DRP4 isnt a baby air cooler either, it's pretty great for most cpu's just the heat on tht chip is kinda nuts
i lean towards water cooling. my aio failed just under 5 yrs and corsair replaced it no problems
i'd probably go ek this time around
supposedly amd's new stuff is coming out around September 👀
maybe but since it's a new socket i'm sure it'll be a pain to grab a mobo i like and a compatible aio right off the bat.
rumor says spetember 15th
It'll be fineeee
all am4 socket aios will be compatible
*for a few cpu's, we aren't even certain about that I thought
thought they were gunna release some am4 editions
what is your opionion on mobo's like this? all this new cooling stuff.
i've seen some other crazier ones
trying to look them up right now
Very neat, if you have like $1k burning a hole in your pocket
love the look, not the price
Ain't much better xD
plus thats going custom water cooling, aka another price bump
just an example though. i was asking about the cooling features. do you deem them as worth it? i will be going water cooling.
yes i might buy an ek water cooling kit
oooo looking foward to this build now
reservoir and all. why not? lol
carbon ek x is supposed to be the cheaper waterblock included mobos isn't it?
i'm serious and anxious. wallet is open lol
It's not really worth it, in most cases... but money burning a hole in your pocket... maybe 👀
i'm very undecisive so buying process can be very tedious for me
I'd just get a lf2 if you want almost best of the best for consumer aios
link?
oh is this the x570s?
Liquid freezer 360/420, on mobile atm
the look of it is kinda meh tho especially compared to a custom loop
Almost as good as it gets
it is the x570s, yeah no not necessary, just a liquid freezer 2
Sure performance is pretty much the same, so price to perf wise its great.
afraid of doing it plus thinking of the maintence headache or whenever i need to upgrade/install new hardware
No maintenance on a liquid freezer ii or most aios
oh yeah then just go with the aio.
get a good b550 with a liquid freezer II offset you'll do just as well for cheaper
100% better than a custom loop for most things
aren't z boards better?
that's the x570s you put up there tho?
Z boards are intel
They have active fans, which are noisy (x570)
yeah my bad current build is intel
Yea
and no, b550 is for normies, x570 is for people who need more pcie lanes
that would be me
What do you need extra for?
not normal. r you could say.
x570s has no fan but that's basically the difference 
B550 already has a gen 4 16x slot and m.2 slot
well be aware the tiny fan on tht x570 can be annoying 
So for most people it's totally good
jimbo, what are you plugging into the pcie slots of your next motherboard
i always like to put a sound card/dac and also just in case i want to install more m.2's with an adapter
that msi board is not what i'm going for. it was just an example for your opinion.
you're using that much storage?
i have those. i want m.2 now
there's very little reason for that even with direct storage api
sata ssd's are still plenty quick enough
you'd be saturating money on that when you didn't need to
this is my current board from 2015/16. not going the cheap route lol
here's a board that will likely oc better, it's cheaper and it's b550
you are correct. although i most definitely need 1 for the OS. games could stay on my ssds
sure, but b550 has a dedicated slot like x570 does for m.2's so it's still fine
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X this was the recommendation right?
that board will run a 5950X no problem
think it was the 5800
5800X3D as well
I would def pick a 5950X if I had to choose between that or a 5800X3D, or a 5900X for a much better choice
buying into AM4 rn not the greatest idea tho
same i think i want 16 cores vs 8
why?
you'll be better off on 12th gen, it's generally cheaper and you get pcie gen 5 as well as the performance gains over Ryzen 5000
isn't amd the king in gaming rn? plus more cores
5600 is slightly worse than 12400f, and more expensive
same with 12600kf to 5700x/5800x, and 12700f and 5900x
They're pretty equal in average tbf
Some games really love the extra cache the 5600(x) has over the 12400f
depends how you approach that one though, tuned, 12th gen is usually faster
this was my understanding
So games like valorant, for example, lean heavily towards amd
But in value, 12th gen is the way to go
which one pulls less voltage
i'd love to give intel the middle finger for once
yes
Intel in games is lower wattage
which is more efficient
idle is also lower on 12th gen than ryzen
productivity tho AMD wins by a quarter mile
Yeah amd is awesome for that
Altho Intel with igp is nice for encoding/decoding stuff
indeed
i just want to game, have tabs open, and maybe stream at the same time. but i'm going top of the line.
what's your budget?
it isn't really a problem
more of wants so i need it atm lol
been gaming on my 4790k and 980 ti for too long
my 20 series laptop is great for portability but i need a new rig
esp for games
ddr4 rn due to pricing and really not that much of an advantage
which i do like that intel you can ddr4 or 5
But asrock taichi z690 👀 (it has a moving cog)
ok, so 12600K has practically the same performance as 12900K in games, would you do that?
cores vs cores?
sadly covered by the gpu xD
nono its on the io shield
technichally speaking, 12400f with unlocked power limits does at times
the one on the io moves as well?
e cores means it doesn't really matter
id honestly just go 12700k pretty much best of all worlds
12700f
kf
if anything i will be underclocking
you also have to add the extra price of a z690
the taichi is absolutely over priced and more of a meme, its $400
PC Builder - Intel Core i7-12700F
if you want oc just go for 12900k, no point in ocing a 12700k
taichi is $210
the power consumption is insane tho on the i9
12900f can run on a b660 mag bazooka
power efficiency is something i do take into consideration
personally ill go for a 13700f, best for gaming, best for work 😄
maybe a 13700 if my pocket allow it just for troubleshooting
not out yet though
PC Builder - Intel Core i7-12700F, Radeon RX 6900 XT, Phanteks Eclipse P360A ATX Mid Tower
i know, im planning to
something like this
ram isnt worth it over sp 3200c16
worse timings
supernova gt is $50 for the psu btw but it wasn't on there
oh I didn't know that
one sec
g6 also $15 cheaper
was
also id go for the mag bazooka
but ye, id go for the GT off b stock
I'm a winder!
i dont think b-stock is on partpicker
it isnt
btw if i buy now i'm probably going 3080ti or above
above 3080 is a waste
3080 12gb performs within 3% of the ti
3080 ti is not worth the extra
current psu is 860w plat so i'm buying 1000+psu
3080 12gb was so good they're trying to kill it
i like to leave ample room on my psu
850w is ample room
talking about a psu from a 2015/2016 build
still doesnt mean anything
there are some extremely good bronze ones and crappy gold ones as an example
if you have a B or A tier 850w psu you will be fine
80 rating means nothing on quality, just on power efficiency

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3080-rtx-3080-ventus-3x-plus-12g-oc-lhr/p/N82E16814137712? ik the ventus kinda blows most of the time.
but tht price tho
$60 more for one of the best models
honestly gaming z trio worth it for that bit more
Lmao
yeah 2015 lmAO
It's not like an AX so I would imagine the cultist recommendation would be "it may be time to change"
yeah i'm not putting that in my new build
current build will be downgraded to 1080p gaming or a server
i wouldn't buy that psu
why not?
low wattage
it's a decent b tier
sure
eh 850w pretty high for current gen
850w is enough for a 3090
forget the power spikes?
I ran a 3090 on an 850W
with what cpu?
I have a 750w with a 3080 Ti. Works great
I run a 1650 super on 1kw
ive run a 6800xt on a 650w
mine was 10850K
going 1000 minimum
1000 and above is overkill most of the time, only 12900k overclockers can really use those
but I mean if you're too worried about it, G6 will save the day, top tier psu
cpu you won't need more than a 12700f, value per performance gains drop into the single digits
i got the gt 850 off of b stock
half the catch lol. It'll still be better than most 1000W on the market
going to be sleeping with my 3060 ti, but plan to go for either 40 or 50 series
adapter time
bruh
adaptering it
the man wants to plug himself with his card, let him be
bios support......amd or intel? which is better?
Alright I made a meme build for you jimbo. Do not actually buy this please. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pHh66r
PC Builder - Intel Core i9-12900K, GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower
12900ks.
Your list sucks tho frfr, not even a ks
I think it needs a 5000D instead of the 4000D 🙂
pfff 5000d has too much open space
i'll take a look. what is the meme exactly?
pfffffffffffffffff
i currently have a cosmos full tower lol

today is a fun day lol
new meme build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RdX978
PC Builder - Intel Core i9-12900KS, GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, Corsair 7000D AIRFLOW ATX Full Tower
double the fans tho
woops
taichi 
youre right as always of course how could i be so short sighted
a future proof build
How dare you?
Where's axi
my current tower
you need a raijin aio as well
Gotta get godlike too
best performance no doubt
What about the 4k 4 monitor setup?
your pcp is full of performance holes
nono i wanted a mechanical gadget like a cog in the case.
shame
i'm working on it 
raijin aio and godlike... or go home
gotta fill out all the sata
ew carpet
yeah i gotta put tile in the rooms
yo anyone got 40k layin around https://pcpartpicker.com/list/24nsmr
PC Builder - Intel Core i9-12900KS, 2 x GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, Corsair 1000D ATX Full Tower
Rip your components when static electricity strikes.
$20 discount NICE
all those monitors lmao
bro 4 vertical side-by-side
i don't need those monitors for that lol
also i'm not looking to buy a new monitor atm
||(it's a meme build I'm not being serious)||
when is dp 2.0 coming to monitors?
i like that you didn't underestimate me on psu though
ok real talk? If you wanna spend big on a psu, an AXi is really good, but with atx 3.0 around the corner, even that one is not worth it in the slightest
I mean, I'm running a 12600k/2070 super on a 1kw lol
850W G6 is enough for pretty much anything conventional for gaming in 2022 (Maybe not 3090 Ti/12900K? 🤷 )
The only reason I went for a 1kw is because there was an A tier that was on super sale so I figured why not.
a tier b tier....is this the new psu quality name rebranding?
no this is from a collated list from a group called the cultists network, they literally pour half their life into psu's
they take sources from tons of reviews, compare platform internals, oems, everything
They don't compare oems a ton from what I understand, it's more just about how it does in testing
a lot of the discussion I see in their discord is about which oem is this psu or that psu lol
Ye but tier is just testing stuff, and fan stuff etc
and all kinds of protection built on those
is it better to water cool the cpu and gpu separate or will one closed loop be best for performance?
Closed loops aren't worth it unless you're doing heavy overclocking
Hell, gpu water cooling isn't either
For a closed loop, you're looking at an extra $1000 minimum
gpu with aio also exists if you really want one
Like it would theoretically be better to do separate loops, but it's crazy expensive and a pain in the bottom
And more points of failure
separate loop needs way more maintenance too
thinking of possibly buying this for my build https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-4998-KT
For why
3090 ti is maybe 10% better in gaming than the 3080 12gb
An oced 3080 12gb would beat a stock 3090 ti
double vram for minecraft of course
It's still not enough
ah yes that 3090ti kit
Minecraft is a game that scales almost infinitely
Yeah
i can't wait another 2 years for a 4090ti
And then watch as the resource packs are upgraded to bring the 40 series flagship to its knees
More like a few months. We're very close
3090ti was launched towards the end of the cycle. i'm assuming 4090ti will be the same case. can't wait too long.
4090 though
And then hope that the 4090ti is as small of an upgrade as the 3090ti was
Or that it comes out fast enough to do the EVGA upgrade program
Even the 3090 Ti KP isn't worth it when the regular 3090 KP is in b stock on sale
3090ti from a 980ti is enough of a jump for me
Let alone 3090 itself for games
3090 and 3090ti are very similar cards
3090 KP and 3090 Ti KP should be very similar in normal use, both are binned, one just has 2% more cores
Not worth the what, 700usd more? Again, let alone 600 more for kp over 3080 12gb
@trim acorn don't forget a PSU upgrade for that jump
Might as well just get my original meme build at this point 
i typically let software auto tune clocks and performance giving temps
Okay, probably looking at a 850W PSU then
The FTW3 hybrid is on sale in bstock for 1300, add 120 or so on top for a PSU and you're good to go
About $1000 cheaper, almost identical performance if you aren't going to do crazy tuning
that is true but i want to water cool my card
yeah my bad hybrid
1 yr warranty vs 3
No biggie
The kp is 1399 on b stock
If it's not doa and you treat it good the chances of it randomly dying are slim
I would really not worry about 2 years of warranty for 800 more $$$
please explain what is b stock....i saw it also but i've been out of the tech loop for a minute
Returned stock or stock that has known visual/aesthetic damage but still known to be in full working condition
Basically there was a little scratch on the finish, so they sell it discounted
And the discount is usually incredible 👀
i'll be reaching out to ek and seeing what they suggest i purchase to cool the rig....maybe they'll suggest a certain card and then fit it with their hardware
Or considering it's gaming, you could cross the floor to an $850 OCF 6900XT and be just as quick in games
They have that all documented
Don't buy a hybrid GPU if you want to do a custom loop though
yeah i know
Honestly the benefits of going full water imo isn't worth it over something like a hybrid kit or eiswolf on 30 series, speaking from experience
Even a good air cooler is still solid
The differences get really slim
air is out of the question for me. full closed loop would be my first time doing it on a build.
this is going to be my 2nd build btw
EVGA's hydro, gigabyte water force, or Asus ekwb would be more what you'd be looking for if you wanted a custom
Any reason why air is out of the question?
Yes if you get one that comes with a waterblock it'll be significantly cheaper
Except for the Asus one
That one loses an 8 pin doesn't it lol
better performance....i air cooled the gpu in my current rig but now i want liquid
Not really better
also this build I'm aiming for better aesthetics if possible
Unless you have a horrible coldplate on the card air cooling is quite good on 30 series for the most part
You could even end up with a card silicon limited so it does nothing putting it under water
water cooled room will get less warm from less hot air. at least that's my idea
More just paying the Asus and ekwb tax
3k+
Might as well pay the taichi tax at that point and have a cool moving cog 
May as well take the strix tax and get better vrms
what is a moving cog?
You want a cooler room, buy a 3060
If I upgrade my gpu do I need to change out any wiring? I have a gtx 1660 and I’m thinking about going up to a rtx 3070ti
My motherboard is a asus z490-e gaming motherboard
I7 10700k cpu
And Corsair rm850x 80+ gold psu
That'll be fine
I had to read that twice darvan 
That’s a moving cog btw @trim acorn
yeah i don't get it
Don’t mind me I’m just projecting a bit. I just want a stupid novelty board cuz reasons…
Hotter room because the water locked cards are setup to draw more power, and because of that dump more heat in the air @trim acorn
Also is a 3070ti decent 4k graphics wise? Googling says it’s good but I wasn’t sure if anyone here had other opinions
I dontnget what you're missing
3080 12gb games within 10% of the 3090 ti
And is a third of the price
4k gaming is a meme
I'd stick to 1440p
OCF is a third and games even closer
Listen I just want my forza horizon 5 gaming to actually look decent
It'll work but it's not great, you'll probably have to lower some settings. If you want pretty go for 1080 or 1440 and max settings
Then get 1440p
It'll look better at a lower res and higher settings
1440p looks plenty good
4k gaming os a meme, meaning that it's not exactly achievable atm. In some games, even the 3090 struggles to hit 60fps at ultra settings 4k
I get this photogenic mood in the game and then my photos look poopy compared to others who can have the graphics hella boosted up 😅
1440p on FH5 ultra will push that 3070 Ti well enough and look really nice
4k doesn't mean better graphics lmao
4k is the opposite of boosted graphics
it's just extra res for the screenshots
1440p will let you max out and have more perf
On most games, you'll have to turn the graphics down for 4k
then that'll look amazing
To hit 60fps
I actually used to do those FH comps, what you want are better reflections and details not better resolution
Right
1440p is plenty can confirm
Considering you were willing to spend the money on a 4k monitor
You could go for a 3080 12gb and g27q
Quality settings are king, res is pretty much just how big of a screen you can get and still look decent
That depends on how long the gpu is 🥴
4K on medium to low 100% looks worse than 1440p on high-ultra
What case do you have?
And also, those guys taking the pics, a lot of them use a series x btw
Corsair Icue 220t airflow
Nice case
I love it
Supports 300mm gpu, right?
Just sucks fitment wise haha
Yeah
Kk, one min
Also I will add I have a aio attached to the front
What model?
I'd go for a 3070 then
Bet
I forget if that 300mm clearance includes an aio attached or not
3070 ti isn't worth it over the 3070, unless they're the same price
It's just a hotter, higher power usage 3070 for maybe 3% perf gain
Cause some people have said there’s more clearance than just 300mm
Is it one of the Corsair aios?
What size fans and how many
H115i rgb pro 280mm
If you had a top rad and slim fans, yes there's a bit more clearance
Pretty decent aio for the price. I haven’t had temp issues at all. Only one issue is the rgb lighting acts all whack on boot up so I usually have to restart my computer for them to cooperate on the aio
It'll support that 280 as a top rad
So good to go on the full 300mm clearance with the GPU after some tweaking
Is top mounted usually not recommended? I don’t remember
I think it's technically "best"
Or maybe I’m thinking front mount with the tubes plug-ins at the bottom of the aio lol
My 220t doesn't lol
Maybe if I ever want to get that little more clearance for a bigger gpu. But In all honesty. A 3070ti I think is what I’m gonna shoot for
Are founders edition gpus a no no?
How much are you paying for it
I think the 3070ti founders edition is at like 740 right now?
But I probably wasn’t gonna buy one for a few more weeks
EVGA has 3080s for that price
Minus a bit if you Google an associate code to use
I think that takes another 5% off
I don’t think I have the space for a triple fan
That link took me to like 8 different 3080s so I’m struggling to figure out which gpu you’re talking about haha
https://pcpartpicker.com/b/J2BZxr
Here we go
The cheapest one, xc3
240mm top rad, but besides that should be same dimensions wise
yeah I could only fit 240 on top
Case seriously reminds me of a meshify c 👀
3070 ti isn't worth it over 3070
Also 3070s new are $600
Some are anyways
For a triple fan it kinda is yeah lol
Would it be worth just seeing if it’ll fit without moving my aio to the top?
yes
Let me find the length of my gpu I have
just measure from the pcie slots to the aio with a ruler
Also I’m mad they have all that and didn’t go with rgb ram
So I think my gpu is 229 inches?
I really don’t know I’m laying in bed and am not getting up rn
No worries
I was gonna put a pic in the build chat and could probably mentally measure
But it won’t let me put in a picture
You should be able to put it in #build-pics
It won’t let me unfortunately
Odd
