You followed up your advice about the correct pin out with a picture that shows what the cables are and what header they belong to.

#

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

forest briar
#

Thank you.

#

No hard feelings man

frigid night

#

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

what is the best prebuilt for $1000 dollars right now

fossil cedar
empty pollen
#

well 350k sales and almost 90%

#

must be a price error

#

prices seems ok on other hardware from them

#

very sus indeed

fossil cedar
#

Worth a shot, will they honour it maybe not but if they do

hallow glen
fossil cedar
#

Cool

#

Hopefully antonline honours it that would be sick

hallow glen
#

yeah

#

he will have an amazing pc

#

and i will kill him

#

jk

fossil cedar
#

Lol

hallow glen
#

||definitely not going to steal it||

empty pollen
#

yeah maybe a huger error, thats 2tb of hard drive

#

1 ssd and 1 hdd

#

the 3070 alone is worth the 500

hallow glen
#

yeah ik

#

but it's worth a shot

empty pollen
#

tempted as well

hallow glen
#

well, my friend is pulling the trigger right now soo im hoping it works out for him

marsh sluice
#

that would be a hell of a deal

empty pollen
#

too good to be true

hallow glen

marsh sluice
#

scrolling down and looking at the spec tab, it says the cpu is a 11700f

#

I bet the web site screwed up the links

empty pollen
#

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

marsh sluice
#

except maybe the case

#

a big no

empty pollen
#

ram as well, probably those are 3200c50 sticks

#

😛

hallow glen
#

he bought it and its shipping from the 15th to 17th lol

empty pollen
#

they can cancel the order at any moment, just pray

mossy venture
#

$950 for an open box 3060 build

#

the rog one is nuts

mossy venture
#

Oh

#

Thought it was the same one, just linked weirdly

#

Yeah, forgot a 1 at the start lol

fossil cedar
mossy venture
#

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

sharp bear
#

He will only be gaming at 1080p

mossy venture
#

For ram, corsair makes terrible ram

#

There's a g.skill 3200c16 32gb kit cheaper than thwt

empty pollen

corsair is terribly overpriced in almost anything

#

i want a new build but should i wait for the 40 series and ddr5?

mossy venture
trim acorn
#

sure but pcie 4 isn't

strong raft
#

Can get ddr4 that's 4500c20 btw. kekleo. Z690 has pcie4...

mossy venture
#

pcie 4 has been out for a long time

empty pollen
#

for a very loooong time

strong raft
#

Perhaps he's thinking of AMD only. pepepoint

trim acorn
#

i meant pcie 5.0 my bad

#

but upon checking out newegg i see some i think

mossy venture
#

pcie is backwards compatible

#

so even if new gpus are pcie 5.0, it will still work on pcie 4.0

trim acorn
#

but then again new gen cpu's aren't here yet so that's my debate

mossy venture
#

im waiting for 13th gen before buying

trim acorn
mossy venture
#

so then whats the point of waiting for 5.0

trim acorn
#

faster lanes

#

more expansion cards

#

future proofing as well i suppose.

mossy venture
#

by the time pcie 5.0 is utilized properly, your cpu will not be holding up

empty pollen
#

pcie5 already exists in 12th gen

empty pollen
#

like a year old by now

trim acorn
#

i'm aware but 13th gen better plus w.e amd cis coming with next

mossy venture
trim acorn
#

4790k here with 980ti

empty pollen
#

and we are at one year away from pcie6

#

and 3 from pcie7 most likely

trim acorn
#

they won't be releasing pcie6 or 7 anytime soon

#

they'll release specs but that's about it

empty pollen
#

tech advance very rapidly, youll be amazed

#

thats why you cant plan on "future-proof" builds

trim acorn
#

idk when rumors state l1,2,3 caches will be much larger it makes me want to wait out

empty pollen
#

every generation release larger caches

#

thing is, on tech, waiting could end in an endless game

strong raft
#

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

empty pollen
#

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

trim acorn
#

that's how it works for sure but the tech won't be changing...ex. pcie5.0, wifi 6, mb socket

astral holly
trim acorn
#

do you like building at end of life cycle or hop on next gen tech?

astral holly
#

But also there probably not a chance I get new tech at MSRP at launch

trim acorn
#

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

strong raft
#

Imagine that. For 4k probably should think about the 4070 though, unless you can't wait those 6-7months

astral holly
#

So should I build my whole build to be read for the 40 series and then just buy them as soon as I can?

trim acorn
#

what card do you have now?

astral holly
#

2060 super

#

I know it’d hold the stuff back

trim acorn
#

i would personally wait then for the 40 series. i'm a bit desperate since i'm on a 980ti.

astral holly
#

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

trim acorn
#

one of my concerns with upgradability is that current sockets are at the end of their lifespan

strong raft
#

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.

trim acorn
astral holly
#

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

trim acorn
#

by then ssd prices will probably be better though

empty pollen
#

the boot speed difference between gen 3 and gen 4 is barely noticeable

strong raft
#

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.

trim acorn
#

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)

strong raft
#

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

astral holly
#

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

trim acorn
#

you'll get a better deal on ssd then as well

strong raft
#

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.

astral holly
#

And I was told it needs to have dram or whatever the heck it is

trim acorn
#

when in need there's never a better time then now. buy what you need.

strong raft
#

P31 has dram, but actually dram by itself isn't a big deal. Sn770 proved that. P31 is basically the best gen 3 btw.

cyan ravine
#

A lot of recommendations here are dramless lol

astral holly
#

Yeah

cyan ravine
#

example

#

lol

astral holly
#

And I wouldn’t need a heatsink with the p31

trim acorn
#

also power design phases is suppose to increase on next gen mb's right?

earnest olive
#

if you always wait for next gen, surprise, there's always a next gen to wait for

earnest olive
#

and mobo manufacturers are all predicting lower sales

#

mobo prices are too high now

trim acorn
#

i believe i read 18 phase will be here soon

cyan ravine
#

they potentially will upgrade it but most are pretty overkill now

earnest olive
#

18 phase?

#

we had 20 phase z170 board for quad cores

#

lol

trim acorn
#

well then i'm not wrong lol

earnest olive
#

i think my gpu has 22 phases

earnest olive
#

z690 godlike has 20 105A phases

#

jesus

astral holly
#

But if I build for next gen, that makes sense since we know it’s coming soon

earnest olive
#

22 if you count SOC phases

astral holly
#

AMD next gen is this year righrv

trim acorn
#

supposedly

earnest olive
#

probably?

#

13th gen is probably going to smack it though

#

guess we'll find out

trim acorn
#

by this year q4 means you'll be buying it next year most likely due to availability

earnest olive
#

oof

#

i hope not

#

i remember how hard it was to get ryzen 5000

#

people were buying scalped ryzen cpus lol

mossy venture
strong raft
#

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

earnest olive
#

like vrm power stages

mossy venture
#

I know low phases are a bad thing for vrms, but I dont think I know what they actually do

earnest olive
#

i'll explain in a sec i'm at work

#

or someone else can

mossy venture
#

Kk

strong raft
#

Filters power for cpu is part of a vrm. Google it, voltage regulator something something. More is ok but a certain amount is "plenty".

mossy venture
#

Will do

#

Thanks

astral holly
#

I mean for gaming and multi tasking tho would next gen AMD be better then getting intel

mossy venture
#

We can't answer that

#

That's like asking a meteorologist what the weather will be like in a year

strong raft
#

Not the best conparison, but true. Ask Doc Brown. Kekw (Shame on whowver doesn't know this reference)

mossy venture
#

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

astral holly
mossy venture
astral holly
trim acorn
#

you can always predict. that's the meaning of the word.

strong raft
#

13th gen just adds/adjusts Ecores & ups the ipc a bit. Am5 will be Pcore & Ecore also afaik. Hah jimbo, guess vs predict.

mossy venture
#

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

trim acorn
# mossy venture We literally cannot

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.

mossy venture
#

Benchmarks do not exist

strong raft
#

5600X3D on the way. Kekw edit: someone needs to lookup the definition of predict vs guestimate.

mossy venture
#

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

trim acorn
mossy venture
#

Its like talking to a wall

trim acorn
#

that is why both intel and amd release architecture roadmaps. there is definitely information available. and then plenty of rumors.

mossy venture
#

While we have the roadmaps

#

We do not have any knowledge about the performance

#

Because that requires

#

The cpu

trim acorn
#

it's like talking to a frog? lol

mossy venture
#

To find

#

The performance

trim acorn
#

you can almost certainly bank on the fact that a next gen product will outperform a current gen product.

mossy venture
#

And when comparing

#

Two things

#

That don't yet exist

#

We cannot tell you what will be better

trim acorn
#

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.

mossy venture
#

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

cyan ravine
trim acorn
#

i guess time will tell. remember this convo. lol

mossy venture
#

You literally haven't said what would be better

mossy venture
#

This convo has amounted to nothing

trim acorn
#

because it was all based on predictions. that's all it is. predictions.

mossy venture
#

Then tell me

#

What will be better

trim acorn
#

we should do a poll to see who here thinks a next gen product will be worse than a current gen.

strong raft
#

Still clogging up build chat w/ broken records. Kekw harold

mossy venture
#

10700k beats 11700k 9 times out of 10

#

Same with 10900k and 11900k

strong raft
#

10900 was a 10core though... ill admit Simply having pcie4 or an extra m2 slot probably wasn't worth it.

trim acorn
#

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.

mossy venture
#

Yes, however

mossy venture
#

When comparing TWO THINGS THAT DONT EXIST

#

We cannot tell you what is better

trim acorn
#

you make predictions. finshed it for you

forest briar
#

Jimbo my man. We don’t need to be condescending.

mossy venture
#

Oh I'm being condescending too

If this server wasn't sfw, I'd have cussed up and down by now

trim acorn
#

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.

mossy venture
#

Anything I say to you will get me muted

#

I'm done talking to a brick

cyan ravine
#

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

cyan ravine

1030 super leokek

late fjord
trim acorn
cyan ravine
#

they said similar things about 11th gen perf improvements though lol

trim acorn
#

intel 11th gen vs 10th gen?

cyan ravine
#

yes

#

iirc they said 20%

desert gulch
#

11th gen = 9th gen refresh

#

No cap frfr

cyan ravine
#

9900K's done right have parity with 10th and 11th gen

trim acorn
#

yes i remember they weren't recommended versus previous gen iirc

cyan ravine
#

another good example is the current gen exynos, and that was a product AMD had input with

trim acorn
#

not sure what they were saying at the time though. although companies due lie all the time.

cyan ravine
#

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

trim acorn
#

companies love using in house benchmarks which rarely equate to real life performance comparisons in tasks users do

cyan ravine
#

that's why even making educated predictions is grossly unreliable

#

there's too many variables

trim acorn
#

i understand that 100%. i wasn't saying it wans'nt the case

trim acorn
#

anyhow hope it's water under the bridge. not that serious.

cyan ravine
#

I'm not mad, I've said more than I should by now LUL

#

def water under the bridge here lol

trim acorn
#

came in here to ask for build suggestion lol

Wouldn't even hurt if the past 100ish* msgz here were just purged Kekw

cyan ravine

I joined halfway so I wouldn't know LUL

trim acorn
#

can't log into my account in forums

empty pollen
#

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

trim acorn
#

weren't both the 10th and 11th gen on the same nm node process?

cyan ravine
#

11th gen was 10nm backported yes to 14nm+++++++

#

++++

fossil cedar
#

Yes 6th gen? and 11th gen whwre technically the same nm just revision

#

14nm+++++++++++++++++++++++?!+£-#!#+++++

trim acorn
#

also both used the same socket

#

hence why i was predicting improvements from one nm process node to another

fossil cedar
#

Well yeah...

#

😔

How many cpus have been ruined by bent/broken pins? INTEL = kekleo

trim acorn
#

i think amd is moving to pins now also

cyan ravine
#

lga yes

desert gulch
strong raft
#

Much fewer.

fossil cedar
desert gulch
#

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

fossil cedar
#

Am5 is gonna be lga 1718 anyway right?

desert gulch
#

Yeah

fossil cedar
#

Talk about confusion

desert gulch
#

Intel is lga1800 tho

fossil cedar
#

1700 atm

desert gulch
#

So you may be able to jam a zen 4 on a b660 or z690 or sometin

#

Boards are 1800

fossil cedar
#

Lga 1700

desert gulch
#

Lga1800

trim acorn
#

confused already

desert gulch
#

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

fossil cedar
#

What

desert gulch
#

Count the pins on a z690 rn

#

There's 1800

#

Or look at the little plastic protector

fossil cedar
#

Hell nah

desert gulch
#

It's a lga1700/1800 socket

#

💀

cyan ravine
#

uhh

desert gulch
#

Thank Intel for doing that

cyan ravine
#

I think the latest slide said RPL was 1700

fossil cedar
#

I aint counting pins screw that

cyan ravine
#

gimme a sec

desert gulch
#

RPL is 1800

strong raft
#

Current adl mobos are 1700pins, and will simply work in lga1800 mobos

desert gulch
#

This is a current socket on your 600 series boards

empty pollen
#

same size for the cover

cyan ravine
#

it's still a 1700 socket lol

desert gulch
#

12th gen just doesn't use the extra 100 pins on there

empty pollen
#

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

desert gulch
#

Here's this

#

Read it if ya want

strong raft
#

14th gen being lga1800 would be smart for Intel for a change

empty pollen
#

tldr plz 😄

cyan ravine
#

in the article

desert gulch
#

What I've been saying above lol

cyan ravine
#

lol

desert gulch
empty pollen
#

so, alder is using less pins from the socket?

desert gulch
#

Yeah

empty pollen
#

man, cant wait for raptor lake! i want my new pc now!

desert gulch
#

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

cyan ravine
#

yes

desert gulch
#

Never know with intel

mossy venture
desert gulch
#

Wouldn't be surprised if they switched to 1 CPU gen per socket lmfao

desert gulch
#

Keep the Raisin 5

mossy venture
#

but like

#

new build

desert gulch
#

No

#

Raisin 5 > intel

trim acorn
#

intel is doing 2 cpus for next socket. amd will likely support there's for longer

desert gulch
#

We can hope

#

I may buy into am5 if the price is right

mossy venture
#

i will only consider am5 if it supports ddr4

desert gulch
#

Getting like 5 years out of a am5 board would be sweet

desert gulch
fossil cedar
trim acorn
#

i'm thinking am5 with 40 series? is this the move?

strong raft
#

I'll be watching all the lga1718 beta testers

mossy venture
#

been planning on it

cyan ravine
desert gulch
#

In which case rdna3 could be the way if everything is right

cyan ravine
#

i would like it to be january tbh, I wanna see how mcm goes

#

before I decide

fossil cedar
desert gulch
#

Mcm will just be for cache and io

#

It won't be like a 2x gaming perf type of deal

cyan ravine
#

yeah but even still, they supposedly downgraded the specs

desert gulch
#

But it'll help them get their foot in the door with it

cyan ravine
#

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

desert gulch
#

32gb but Nvidias most budget option still gonna slam it with cuda and tensor in productivity 💀

cyan ravine
#

that's what I mean 🤷

desert gulch
#

Some people def gonna buy the 32gb version tho to "future proof"

cyan ravine
#

I wanna see what they do with that one 👀

empty pollen
mossy venture
#

ye

#

which is why im going for 13th gen

empty pollen
#

either raptor or am5+ddr5

mossy venture
#

as long as it offers decent gains over 12th gen

desert gulch
#

Dw, biostar 100% will make a d4 board 💀, now we just gotta have a diff CPU...

empty pollen
#

who knows maybe will be a ddr5 gear 1 imc on raptor lake 😄

mossy venture
#

if it doesnt, and am5 is decently better, then i might consider it

#

or i might just get a 12th gen cpu used

desert gulch
#

Thank you for that ^

forest briar
#

Scrum

desert gulch
#

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

desert gulch
#

But it's a rog thing, y'know

trim acorn
#

it's missing rgb though lol

desert gulch
#

Gl trying to fit any tower cooler on your board

cyan ravine
#

rgbll Gamers rgbll

#

DDR4 to DDR5 strix rgb white edition

trim acorn
#

to add to the confusion

desert gulch
#

Yeah screw Intel this gen

#

Atleast they learned and hopefully wont repeat lga1151 again...

#

That was a nightmare

trim acorn
#

history has a tendency to repeat itself. i wouldn't hold my breath.

desert gulch
#

Yeah

#

11th gen is gonna repeat itself??? 😳

#

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.

flint sapphire
#

5800x3d is basically a small fire but everything else is fine.

trim acorn
#

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

flint sapphire
#

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

trim acorn
#

liquid cooling doesn't solve the problem?

mossy venture
#

depends on the aio

flint sapphire
#

oh it does, its just a hot little chip

trim acorn
#

do any of you run the chip?

flint sapphire
#

I do on air.

cyan ravine
#

they also put like weird insulating glue inside the 5800X3D ihs

#

doesn't help much either

trim acorn
#

what aio would be sufficient? not sure i want to close loop.

mossy venture
#

liquid freezer ii 360 or 420

#

clc 360 with fan replacements

#

a lot of EK aios

flint sapphire

id say at minimum A 360

atm im running a dark rock pro 4 with some kryonaut for the memes, hits 90 in about 2 minutes of full load.

trim acorn
#

that's hot

flint sapphire
#

DRP4 isnt a baby air cooler either, it's pretty great for most cpu's just the heat on tht chip is kinda nuts

trim acorn
#

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

flint sapphire
#

supposedly amd's new stuff is coming out around September 👀

trim acorn
#

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.

empty pollen
#

rumor says spetember 15th

flint sapphire
#

It'll be fineeee

empty pollen
flint sapphire
#

*for a few cpu's, we aren't even certain about that I thought

#

thought they were gunna release some am4 editions

trim acorn
#

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

desert gulch
#

Very neat, if you have like $1k burning a hole in your pocket

flint sapphire
#

love the look, not the price

trim acorn
#

1k is not a prob

#

$449 atm btw

desert gulch
#

Ain't much better xD

flint sapphire
#

plus thats going custom water cooling, aka another price bump

trim acorn
#

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

flint sapphire
#

oooo looking foward to this build now

trim acorn
#

reservoir and all. why not? lol

cyan ravine
#

carbon ek x is supposed to be the cheaper waterblock included mobos isn't it?

trim acorn
#

i'm serious and anxious. wallet is open lol

flint sapphire
#

It's not really worth it, in most cases... but money burning a hole in your pocket... maybe 👀

trim acorn
#

i'm very undecisive so buying process can be very tedious for me

desert gulch
#

I'd just get a lf2 if you want almost best of the best for consumer aios

cyan ravine
#

oh is this the x570s?

desert gulch
#

Liquid freezer 360/420, on mobile atm

flint sapphire
#

the look of it is kinda meh tho especially compared to a custom loop

desert gulch
#

Almost as good as it gets

cyan ravine
#

it is the x570s, yeah no not necessary, just a liquid freezer 2

flint sapphire
#

Sure performance is pretty much the same, so price to perf wise its great.

trim acorn
desert gulch
#

No maintenance on a liquid freezer ii or most aios

flint sapphire
#

oh yeah then just go with the aio.

desert gulch
#

Just dust out the radiator once in a while

#

It's great

cyan ravine
#

get a good b550 with a liquid freezer II offset you'll do just as well for cheaper

desert gulch
#

100% better than a custom loop for most things

cyan ravine
#

that's the x570s you put up there tho?

desert gulch
#

Z boards are intel

flint sapphire
#

They have active fans, which are noisy (x570)

trim acorn
#

yeah my bad current build is intel

desert gulch
#

Yea

cyan ravine
#

and no, b550 is for normies, x570 is for people who need more pcie lanes

trim acorn
#

that would be me

desert gulch
#

What do you need extra for?

trim acorn
#

not normal. r you could say.

cyan ravine
desert gulch
#

B550 already has a gen 4 16x slot and m.2 slot

flint sapphire
#

well be aware the tiny fan on tht x570 can be annoying sadge

desert gulch
#

So for most people it's totally good

cyan ravine
#

jimbo, what are you plugging into the pcie slots of your next motherboard

trim acorn
#

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.

cyan ravine
#

you're using that much storage?

trim acorn
#

i don't but i like to have all games i cycle through downloaded

#

on ssd's

cyan ravine
#

you could just get a sata ssd instead

#

lol

#

B550 LUL

trim acorn
#

i have those. i want m.2 now

cyan ravine
#

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

trim acorn
#

this is my current board from 2015/16. not going the cheap route lol

cyan ravine
#

here's a board that will likely oc better, it's cheaper and it's b550

trim acorn
cyan ravine
#

sure, but b550 has a dedicated slot like x570 does for m.2's so it's still fine

trim acorn
#

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X this was the recommendation right?

cyan ravine
#

that board will run a 5950X no problem

trim acorn
#

think it was the 5800

cyan ravine
#

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

trim acorn
#

same i think i want 16 cores vs 8

cyan ravine
#

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

trim acorn
#

isn't amd the king in gaming rn? plus more cores

cyan ravine
#

no

#

12th gen is

mossy venture
#

5600 is slightly worse than 12400f, and more expensive

#

same with 12600kf to 5700x/5800x, and 12700f and 5900x

desert gulch
#

They're pretty equal in average tbf

#

Some games really love the extra cache the 5600(x) has over the 12400f

cyan ravine
trim acorn
desert gulch
#

So games like valorant, for example, lean heavily towards amd

#

But in value, 12th gen is the way to go

trim acorn
#

which one pulls less voltage

desert gulch
#

Like wattage?

#

Voltage isn't really a whole story

trim acorn
#

i'd love to give intel the middle finger for once

trim acorn
cyan ravine
#

Intel in games is lower wattage

trim acorn
#

which is more efficient

desert gulch
#

Intel probably pulls a little more power

#

But at idle Intel can idle lower on power

cyan ravine
#

idle is also lower on 12th gen than ryzen

desert gulch
#

So it's kinda a tradeoff

#

Basically, not something to really consider

cyan ravine
#

productivity tho AMD wins by a quarter mile

desert gulch
#

Yeah amd is awesome for that

#

Altho Intel with igp is nice for encoding/decoding stuff

cyan ravine
#

indeed

trim acorn
#

i just want to game, have tabs open, and maybe stream at the same time. but i'm going top of the line.

cyan ravine
#

what's your budget?

trim acorn
#

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

cyan ravine
#

ok new question, ddr4 or ddr5

#

I would opt for ddr4 98% of the time

trim acorn
#

my 20 series laptop is great for portability but i need a new rig

cyan ravine
#

esp for games

trim acorn
#

ddr4 rn due to pricing and really not that much of an advantage

empty pollen
#

just have a lil patience

#

i rock a 4770 and im waiting on am5/raptor

trim acorn
#

which i do like that intel you can ddr4 or 5

flint sapphire
cyan ravine
#

ok, so 12600K has practically the same performance as 12900K in games, would you do that?

trim acorn
#

cores vs cores?

empty pollen
flint sapphire
#

nono its on the io shield

mossy venture
empty pollen
#

the one on the io moves as well?

cyan ravine
flint sapphire
#

id honestly just go 12700k pretty much best of all worlds

mossy venture
#

12700f

trim acorn
#

kf

mossy venture
#

ocing doesnt give much extra perf

#

not worth the extra

trim acorn
#

if anything i will be underclocking

mossy venture
#

you also have to add the extra price of a z690

flint sapphire
#

the taichi is absolutely over priced and more of a meme, its $400

mossy venture
empty pollen
#

if you want oc just go for 12900k, no point in ocing a 12700k

trim acorn
#

taichi is $210

flint sapphire
#

the power consumption is insane tho on the i9

mossy venture
#

12900f can run on a b660 mag bazooka

trim acorn
#

power efficiency is something i do take into consideration

empty pollen
#

personally ill go for a 13700f, best for gaming, best for work 😄

#

maybe a 13700 if my pocket allow it just for troubleshooting

cyan ravine
empty pollen
#

i know, im planning to

cyan ravine
#

something like this

mossy venture
#

worse timings

cyan ravine
#

supernova gt is $50 for the psu btw but it wasn't on there

#

oh I didn't know that

#

one sec

mossy venture
#

g6 also $15 cheaper

cyan ravine
#

was

mossy venture
#

also id go for the mag bazooka

#

but ye, id go for the GT off b stock

cyan ravine
#

lol

#

GT for $50 is the winner

frigid night
#

I'm a winder!

empty pollen
#

i dont think b-stock is on partpicker

mossy venture
#

it isnt

trim acorn
#

btw if i buy now i'm probably going 3080ti or above

empty pollen
#

above 3080 is a waste

mossy venture
#

3080 ti is not worth the extra

trim acorn
#

current psu is 860w plat so i'm buying 1000+psu

cyan ravine
#

3080 12gb was so good they're trying to kill it

mossy venture
#

platinum means nothing

#

what is the model

trim acorn
#

i like to leave ample room on my psu

mossy venture
#

850w is ample room

empty pollen
#

yup

#

dont spend on psu rn

#

wait for next gen psus

#

850w is more than enough

trim acorn
empty pollen
#

still, brand?

#

and model

mossy venture
empty pollen
#

there are some extremely good bronze ones and crappy gold ones as an example

trim acorn
#

seasonic

#

looking for a pic

empty pollen
#

if you have a B or A tier 850w psu you will be fine

#

80 rating means nothing on quality, just on power efficiency

trim acorn
flint sapphire
#

but tht price tho

mossy venture
#

$60 more for one of the best models

cyan ravine
#

honestly gaming z trio worth it for that bit more

trim acorn
cyan ravine
#

that psu so old it's not on the list

forest briar
#

Lmao

trim acorn
#

yeah 2015 lmAO

cyan ravine
#

It's not like an AX so I would imagine the cultist recommendation would be "it may be time to change"

trim acorn
#

yeah i'm not putting that in my new build

mossy venture
#

theres a 1200w psu on B stock, thats A tier

#

i think its $120

trim acorn
#

current build will be downgraded to 1080p gaming or a server

cyan ravine
#

or g6

#

but gt 👀

trim acorn
#

i wouldn't buy that psu

cyan ravine
#

why not?

trim acorn
#

low wattage

cyan ravine
#

it's a decent b tier

trim acorn
#

sure

cyan ravine
#

eh 850w pretty high for current gen

mossy venture
#

850w is enough for a 3090

trim acorn
#

forget the power spikes?

mossy venture
#

including the power spikes

#

that psu can handle transients

cyan ravine
#

I ran a 3090 on an 850W

trim acorn
#

with what cpu?

rich void
#

I have a 750w with a 3080 Ti. Works great

frigid night
#

I run a 1650 super on 1kw

mossy venture
#

ive run a 6800xt on a 650w

cyan ravine
#

mine was 10850K

empty pollen
#

850 low wattage? wut?????

#

waaaaaaaattt??

trim acorn
#

going 1000 minimum

empty pollen
#

1000 and above is overkill most of the time, only 12900k overclockers can really use those

cyan ravine
#

but I mean if you're too worried about it, G6 will save the day, top tier psu

trim acorn
#

anyhow i haven't decided on cpu yet

#

1 yr warranty? lol

cyan ravine
#

cpu you won't need more than a 12700f, value per performance gains drop into the single digits

mossy venture
#

i got the gt 850 off of b stock

cyan ravine
mossy venture
#

going to be sleeping with my 3060 ti, but plan to go for either 40 or 50 series

pfffffffffffffffff

5000D is just enough space.

double the fans tho

i don't need those monitors for that lol

also i'm not looking to buy a new monitor atm

cyan ravine

||(it's a meme build I'm not being serious)||

trim acorn
#

when is dp 2.0 coming to monitors?

frigid night
#

alright. I think I'm getting a 1000D

#

sold me on it

cyan ravine
#

88tb btw

#

of ssd's

trim acorn
#

i like that you didn't underestimate me on psu though

cyan ravine
#

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

frigid night
#

I mean, I'm running a 12600k/2070 super on a 1kw lol

cyan ravine
#

850W G6 is enough for pretty much anything conventional for gaming in 2022 (Maybe not 3090 Ti/12900K? 🤷 )

frigid night
#

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.

trim acorn
#

a tier b tier....is this the new psu quality name rebranding?

cyan ravine
#

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

desert gulch
#

They don't compare oems a ton from what I understand, it's more just about how it does in testing

cyan ravine
#

a lot of the discussion I see in their discord is about which oem is this psu or that psu lol

desert gulch
#

Ye but tier is just testing stuff, and fan stuff etc

empty pollen
#

and all kinds of protection built on those

trim acorn
#

is it better to water cool the cpu and gpu separate or will one closed loop be best for performance?

mossy venture
#

Closed loops aren't worth it unless you're doing heavy overclocking

#

Hell, gpu water cooling isn't either

obsidian wigeon
#

^

#

just get an aio really

mossy venture
#

For a closed loop, you're looking at an extra $1000 minimum

obsidian wigeon
#

gpu with aio also exists if you really want one

sand falcon
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

separate loop needs way more maintenance too

trim acorn
mossy venture
#

For why

#

3090 ti is maybe 10% better in gaming than the 3080 12gb

#

An oced 3080 12gb would beat a stock 3090 ti

trim acorn
#

double vram for minecraft of course

sand falcon
#

It's still not enough

obsidian wigeon
#

ah yes that 3090ti kit

sand falcon
#

Minecraft is a game that scales almost infinitely

mossy venture
#

If you're looking for that level of performance

#

Wait for 40 series

sand falcon
#

Yeah

trim acorn
#

i can't wait another 2 years for a 4090ti

sand falcon
#

And then watch as the resource packs are upgraded to bring the 40 series flagship to its knees

sand falcon
trim acorn
#

3090ti was launched towards the end of the cycle. i'm assuming 4090ti will be the same case. can't wait too long.

sand falcon
#

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

cyan ravine
#

Even the 3090 Ti KP isn't worth it when the regular 3090 KP is in b stock on sale

trim acorn
#

3090ti from a 980ti is enough of a jump for me

cyan ravine
#

Let alone 3090 itself for games

sand falcon
#

3090 and 3090ti are very similar cards

cyan ravine
#

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

sand falcon
#

@trim acorn don't forget a PSU upgrade for that jump

flint sapphire
#

Might as well just get my original meme build at this point pepehmmm

trim acorn
#

it's bundled

#

comes with 1600 psu

sand falcon
#

You going to do extreme overclock?

#

If not, they're ripping you off

trim acorn
#

i typically let software auto tune clocks and performance giving temps

sand falcon
#

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

trim acorn
#

that is true but i want to water cool my card

sand falcon
#

It is water cooled

trim acorn
#

yeah my bad hybrid

sand falcon
#

Hmm, didn't keep sort order

#

Second from the bottom then

trim acorn
#

1 yr warranty vs 3

sand falcon
#

No biggie

cyan ravine
#

The kp is 1399 on b stock

sand falcon
#

If it's not doa and you treat it good the chances of it randomly dying are slim

cyan ravine
#

I would really not worry about 2 years of warranty for 800 more $$$

trim acorn
#

please explain what is b stock....i saw it also but i've been out of the tech loop for a minute

cyan ravine
#

Returned stock or stock that has known visual/aesthetic damage but still known to be in full working condition

sand falcon
#

Basically there was a little scratch on the finish, so they sell it discounted

flint sapphire
#

And the discount is usually incredible 👀

trim acorn
#

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

cyan ravine
#

Or considering it's gaming, you could cross the floor to an $850 OCF 6900XT and be just as quick in games

sand falcon
#

Don't buy a hybrid GPU if you want to do a custom loop though

trim acorn
#

yeah i know

cyan ravine
#

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

trim acorn
#

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

sand falcon
#

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?

cyan ravine
#

Yes if you get one that comes with a waterblock it'll be significantly cheaper

cyan ravine
#

That one loses an 8 pin doesn't it lol

trim acorn
cyan ravine
#

Not really better

trim acorn
#

also this build I'm aiming for better aesthetics if possible

cyan ravine
#

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

trim acorn
#

water cooled room will get less warm from less hot air. at least that's my idea

cyan ravine
#

Noooo

#

Hotter room in fact

#

Haha

sand falcon
#

3k+

cyan ravine
#

Ehhhhh

#

What a terrible card

flint sapphire
#

Might as well pay the taichi tax at that point and have a cool moving cog pepehmmm

cyan ravine
#

May as well take the strix tax and get better vrms

#

Also is a 3070ti decent 4k graphics wise? Googling says it’s good but I wasn’t sure if anyone here had other opinions

mossy venture
#

3080 12gb games within 10% of the 3090 ti

#

And is a third of the price

mossy venture
#

I'd stick to 1440p

cyan ravine
#

OCF is a third and games even closer

dark nova
sand falcon
sand falcon
#

It'll look better at a lower res and higher settings

obsidian wigeon
#

1440p looks plenty good

mossy venture
#

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

dark nova
#

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 😅

cyan ravine
#

1440p on FH5 ultra will push that 3070 Ti well enough and look really nice

obsidian wigeon
#

4k doesn't mean better graphics lmao

mossy venture
#

4k is the opposite of boosted graphics

obsidian wigeon
#

it's just extra res for the screenshots

#

1440p will let you max out and have more perf

mossy venture
#

On most games, you'll have to turn the graphics down for 4k

obsidian wigeon
#

then that'll look amazing

mossy venture
#

To hit 60fps

cyan ravine
obsidian wigeon
#

^

#

no one cares about res really, as long as it's not too low

dark nova
#

Right

flint sapphire
#

1440p is plenty can confirm

mossy venture
#

Considering you were willing to spend the money on a 4k monitor

#

You could go for a 3080 12gb and g27q

sand falcon
#

Quality settings are king, res is pretty much just how big of a screen you can get and still look decent

dark nova
cyan ravine
#

4K on medium to low 100% looks worse than 1440p on high-ultra

mossy venture
#

What case do you have?

cyan ravine
#

And also, those guys taking the pics, a lot of them use a series x btw

dark nova
#

Corsair Icue 220t airflow

So no 3080

sand falcon
#

What model?

mossy venture
#

I'd go for a 3070 then

sand falcon
dark nova
#

I forget if that 300mm clearance includes an aio attached or not

mossy venture
#

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

dark nova
#

Cause some people have said there’s more clearance than just 300mm

sand falcon
#

Is it one of the Corsair aios?

dark nova
#

Yeah

#

H115 capilix I think?

sand falcon
#

What size fans and how many

dark nova
#

H115i rgb pro 280mm

cyan ravine
#

If you had a top rad and slim fans, yes there's a bit more clearance

dark nova
#

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

sand falcon
#

It'll support that 280 as a top rad

#

So good to go on the full 300mm clearance with the GPU after some tweaking

dark nova
#

Is top mounted usually not recommended? I don’t remember

sand falcon
#

I think it's technically "best"

dark nova
#

Or maybe I’m thinking front mount with the tubes plug-ins at the bottom of the aio lol

trim acorn
#

top mounted preferred

#

fans as exhaust

cyan ravine
dark nova
#

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?

sand falcon
#

How much are you paying for it

dark nova
#

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

sand falcon
#

EVGA has 3080s for that price

#

Minus a bit if you Google an associate code to use

#

I think that takes another 5% off

dark nova
#

I don’t think I have the space for a triple fan

sand falcon
#

It's a 285mm card

#

Lemme see if I can find any builds with it in that case

dark nova
#

That link took me to like 8 different 3080s so I’m struggling to figure out which gpu you’re talking about haha

sand falcon
sand falcon
cyan ravine
#

yeah I could only fit 240 on top

sand falcon
cyan ravine
#

maybe if the mobo had lower ram placement

#

it's hard against the sticks in mine

flint sapphire
#

Case seriously reminds me of a meshify c 👀

mossy venture
#

Also 3070s new are $600

#

Some are anyways

cyan ravine
#

damn that xc3 is short

#

worse cooler but compacc

dark nova
cyan ravine
#

that kinda looks like it'll fit

#

it really looks like it'll fit

dark nova
#

Would it be worth just seeing if it’ll fit without moving my aio to the top?

cyan ravine
#

yes

dark nova
#

Let me find the length of my gpu I have

cyan ravine
#

just measure from the pcie slots to the aio with a ruler

dark nova
# sand falcon

Also I’m mad they have all that and didn’t go with rgb ram

#

So I think my gpu is 229 inches?

cyan ravine
#

inches shockdoge

#

you mean mm lol

dark nova
#

Inches LOL my b

#

It’s like 2 am

cyan ravine
#

so how much clearance to the aio do you have

#

since you're measuring

dark nova
#

I really don’t know I’m laying in bed and am not getting up rn

sand falcon
#

No worries

dark nova
#

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

sand falcon
dark nova
#

It won’t let me unfortunately

sand falcon

Odd
