[jolly inlet]

I heard the chair was a rebranded $400 they were selling for $600

[stoic crest]

oh jeez

lol tf

amd's only ssd lineup was named radeon r3

nah there's r7 too

[cloud hornet]

Nah, AMD wouldnt be that nice. It's a rebranded $76 chair sold for $600.

[jolly inlet]

It was overpriced already by a "premium gaming chair" brand

So you're not far off

[cinder kiln]

Red Devil ultimate 6900XT is 799. We have a new lowest price XTXH

Dammit I got the slowdown timer lol

Lol

[light holly]

This has an unlocked power slider doesn't it?

[cinder kiln]

Ye it's unlocked and binned

3 minutes until I can post

I mean you can really set any rdna 2 to pull wbatever power you want but the core def goes higher on the XTXH cards over the XTX ones like the cheap gigabyte and asrock

[light holly]

So is my sapphire xtx or xtxh?

[cinder kiln]

Yours is xtxh

[light holly]

If this one work, I'm gonna be ocing it as much as I can.

[cinder kiln]

Yours is xtxh with a fully unlocked vram slider

And better binned memory

So it's definitely better on a 6950XT

But it's not a world of a difference over 6900 xtxh

Over 6900* xtx it is tho usually

[light holly]

I see. I watched the GN vid about the sapphire, but I was wondering if a repaste/thermal pad replacement would be a good idea?

[cinder kiln]

Test it first

If it's fine then don't worry about it

[light holly]

Ok. I should also wait until warranty period is over?

[cinder kiln]

That's up to you lol

[light holly]

Yeah, ill wait since I've already had issues

If it needs to be done

[high radish]

Ordered this monitor for 300$ https://www.adorama.com/msiop281urf.html

it's in backorder now

[grand orbit]

Yooo

That's a sick price

You should put in tech deals

[high radish]

idk if it worth since it's in backorder

[grand orbit]

Thats 4k ips monitor for 1440p ips monitor price tho

[cinder kiln]

[light holly]

Can you even get to 144hz/fps with 4k?

[grand orbit]

Me? No

[light holly]

I mean. Anyone

[grand orbit]

Oh yeah

And it heavily depends on the game too

[light holly]

I thought it was hard even for highest end gpu to get to 70-80 fps 4k

[grand orbit]

Like i could probably do 300fps in csgo at 4k

[cinder kiln]

• reees in CS:GO *

Dammit

[fair moon]

In modern AAA titles probably

[grand orbit]

If you play med/low shouldn't be too bad also yeah that's more aaa games rather than others

[light holly]

Dang. I might be grabbing me a 4k monitor to play ff14

[fair moon]

But older stuff or esports titles should be able to run high frame rates and resolution

[steel wren]

try doom eternal

[light holly]

Hard to run?

[steel wren]

you can get to 90 on 4k as well xD

[light holly]

Ah ok

[steel wren]

no, its well optimized

[light holly]

I've never really played doom

[steel wren]

you can run doom eternal on a tamagotchi

no problems

[light holly]

Maybe doom 3 for like 10 minutes once

[cinder kiln]

Vulcan go brrrr

[grand orbit]

Ultimate way to play doom is playing doom in doom at 8k

[cinder kiln]

Iirc that's a solid 30 fps in 8k on the 6900XT, much older drivers too

• tries hard to remember that one LTT video *

[light holly]

So with Linux you can force dx11 and below games to run off Vulcan I believe right?

They would run smoother than on dx?

[grand orbit]

Only if it has Vulcan as an option

But same as with on windows

If you launch some games from steam it will ask if you wanna use dx11 or vulcan etc

Only from the steam app not from shortcut ime

[light holly]

I see.. that link that rawr posted in #linux-and-android had a linked vid that showed the gal switching games to vulkan

[grand orbit]

Idk then

[turbid locust]

Okay now what's the deal with levens ssds

[cinder kiln]

i approve, now that I learned about them, they're decent

[turbid locust]

The JS300 is the same price as the JS500 and JS600

[cinder kiln]

and I upvoted both yours and forks

[turbid locust]

https://a.co/d/de9OT1K

[cinder kiln]

[turbid locust]

This is a $99 JS600

[cinder kiln]

rebranded EX900

according to that page

[turbid locust]

Guru3D have reviewed the 1tb model

[cinder kiln]

wait I think EX900 is a red herring

[grand orbit]

That's noice deal if it's decent drive

Sheesh

[cinder kiln]

I think so too

found it, SM2259XT, Dramless, a lot of people are saying it's QLC

dramless? hang on I'll double check that lol

yea dramless

the SSD data sheet is labelling all the Sata drives of this type as entry level

that's still not bad, there are a few in here that aren't rated nicely lol

EX900 is a red herring tho by the looks of it, it's not an nvme it's more similar to like a crucial bx500

[light holly]

I.. feel like felix is gonna be a techie in the future.

[turbid locust]

XT is the worse controller right?

[cinder kiln]

if I refer back to the convo earlier today I believe so yea

[cloud hornet]

Based on SM spec, seems like it

[stoic crest]

yes

xt means dramless

[turbid locust]

WD have done some really interesting things without dram, SN570 and 770 are quite the performers

[slow sluice]

Yeah, but those are nvme drives that can use off board dram over pcie. Sata drives don't have that option, so dramless can really hurt

[stoic crest]

hmb is good

dram is practically useless anyway as long as the ssd can use system dram

[grand orbit]

pog

[dull flame]

@light bay
Eat my socks.

[light bay]

Still spendy spendy when 6800(xt) is priced the way it is

[dull flame]

What if they don't want a AMD GPU? I found a really good one and I'll cry about it.

[slow sluice]

If they're doing something that they wouldn't want an AMD GPU, why would they want a 3070?

[cinder kiln]

Why spend 589.99 when an eagle 3070 is 519.99

[slow sluice]

Also, it shows as $620 for me, where is the extra $30 off coming from?

[cinder kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/newegg/xfGbt6

[cinder kiln]

I'm seeing this too

[slow sluice]

@dull flame can you double check the price?

[dull flame]

I mean.

I think it says 589.99 but idk.

[light bay]

Why wouldn't they want one? Unless you do something that needs cuda specifically, may as well go radeon

[cinder kiln]

I wanna believe it. I'm searching each region

[dull flame]

3070 Ti

[light bay]

3070 tie

[slow sluice]

Which are pretty much the same thing

[light bay]

It's just a slightly better binned 3070 with a couple more cores and g6x

Not a huge deal over a normal 3070

[dull flame]

Central USA

[slow sluice]

aka harder to cool

[light bay]

Yes

[slow sluice]

On a line of cards known for its less than spectacular cooling

[light bay]

Aka you get more fps (a few percent)

[dull flame]

Geez. I didn't know. I just saw a GPU below MSRP and so I shared. Twt

[slow sluice]

Mine is also showing as 620

[dull flame]

TwT*

[slow sluice]

I'm going to try that code and see if it accepts it

[light bay]

Ye

[cinder kiln]

Definitely not seeing 589.99

Also again this:
https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/newegg/xfGbt6

[dull flame]

NOW IT CHANGED!

[light bay]

xD

[dull flame]

Scam

[light bay]

Now it's above MSRP 😳

[dull flame]

TwT

[light bay]

Well, Fe MSRP atleast

[dull flame]

I no like Nvidia anymore

[cinder kiln]

Just get the eagle 3070 for 519.99

Or go amd

[light bay]

Only nvidiots use nvidia

[dull flame]

I already have a GPU.

[slow sluice]

I call shenanigans

[dull flame]

A 6700xt. Will upgrade when 4070 come out.

[dull flame]

Buy it

[fleet marlin]

You act like Bob doesn't already have something much better.

[dull flame]

Who is bob?

[slow sluice]

I have a 3060 👍

In my personal rig

[cinder kiln]

Yo, 60 gang

[light bay]

Let's talk about the a100

[slow sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/maybe-i-am-gif-20068247

[slow sluice]

It's fast

But doesn't run minecraft very well

[dull flame]

Ah. But your name is Robert.

[light bay]

Make a100 your main gaming rig

And then flex on all the haters

[slow sluice]

What do you think Bob is a nickname for

[cinder kiln]

Bobert

[light bay]

Boberto

[dull flame]

Sorry. American thing I don't understand.

I am a pee brain Canadian

[slow sluice]

I'm pretty sure that'a a universal English thing

[dull flame]

I speak French?

And Español

No Ingles senior

[slow sluice]

Les langues autres que anglais ne sont pas autorisees

My French is probably a bit rusty

[fleet marlin]

Hopefully someone would at least understand Rob also comes from Robert. Rob, Bob, usually just what someone prefers (if not the full "Robert"), lol. -- (ignore how I 1st said Bob instead of Rob, partially reflex). Anyways, that GB 70 ti would definitely be a good deal at $420.

evga 1650 bstock 149$

[stoic crest]

bad price lol

[civic portal]

Not when they had the 1060 3gb for $80 on b stock like a week ago

[lofty moss]

80? would rather find a 580 8gb

tbh

[stoic crest]

how does that relate to this?

1650 for 150 is terrible for a used 1650

[daring depot]

boy are you tryna sell a bottle of soda?

[jolly inlet]

Truth
My home server has a 1650 and it's excellent as a Plex/storage server CPU

[gaunt agate]

I need some help here if someone can offer, i have a problem recently with that launcher of epic games, i updated my gtx 1050 ti graphics card driver 2 days ago and everything was normal as always, but when i opened epic games, it was showing me an error saying unsupported graphics card, so what? Bc obviously my card is way more than enough to run any game and i have been using it since 2 years now

I tried alot of methods like reinstalling the launcher and troubleshooting and nothing worked

[cinder kiln]

tried DDU?

!ddu

[ebon stratus]

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

[gaunt agate]

is it gonna fix anything bc as i said i have the latest vergion of the gtx 1050ti drivers according to nevdia

it didnt

[gaunt agate]

As i said it didn't the problem is weird and it happened out pf nowhere, i really even Began to get a bit mad lol

[tiny heron]

I got a similar error with my 6750xt. I just reinstalled drivers and it fixed it

Although my error was that it was an unsupported driver. Even though it was the latest recommend one

[fleet shore]

I am going to buy a gaming PC at a budget of 750$

but the best I found around that price is a pc with a Ryzen 5 3600 and a GTX 1660 ti

tell me if that's ok

one detail tho: its lightly used

[grand orbit]

Country?

[fleet shore]

morocco

its kinda hard :/

and did find another one wich is GTX 1070 8gb + i7-6700K

[grand orbit]

Then it sounds decent

[fleet shore]

its 770$

my dad did accept but I was looking for optimizing the price for a monitor

its pretty much impossible to find a decent resolution, size and refresh rate at under 120$

[fleet shore]

should I take it?

[fair moon]

I would do the first one

3600/1660ti

[fleet shore]

yeah okey

but my dad is a sceptical person ya know

[fair moon]

the 1070 is pretty close to 1660ti but the 6700k is definitely worse than the 3600

[fleet shore]

its 1%-7% less than the 3600 in most cases

not totaly a deal braker

[azure pond]

not true

the 3600 is most similar to the 8700k

[fair moon]

also 4 core vs 6

[azure pond]

where are you getting that comparison from?

[fleet shore]

youtube benchmarks and trusty calculator

[azure pond]

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i7-6700K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/2565vs3481

it's a huge difference between the two

[fleet shore]

I meant in games

with the same GPU

[azure pond]

maybe not when paired with a 1660 ti/1070 for gaming, but if you ever upgrade the 3600 will be miles better

the mobo the 3600 is on will also likely support a better cpu, so it has a bit of an upgrade path

[fleet shore]

lemme give bit of context

I am going to buy a PC

one has a 6700K+1070 and another one with 3600+1660TI

[azure pond]

yes, i know

i read above

[fleet shore]

oh good

[azure pond]

3600 one all the way

upgradability, and much better cpu

[fleet shore]

AM5 is coming

[azure pond]

yeah, so are new gpus

am5 will require ddr5

which i assume is super expensive in morocco

[fleet shore]

lol yeah

400 buck

damn

so okey then 3600+ 1660 ti it is

thanks guys

[azure pond]

3080 fe in stock at my bb

Mmmm

[fleet shore]

how much?

[azure pond]

700

Too bad I'm a broke nerd

[fleet shore]

that's on discount or not

[fleet shore]

a feel ya

[fair moon]

700usd is msrp for FE cards, just really hard to find them that low in stock at best buy lol

[pulsar fable]

Not for long*

Well great, do I get a 3060ti fe or a moto edge+?

[fair moon]

3060ti 😍

[azure pond]

depends on your current phone and gpu

[pulsar fable]

Gpu: 1650 super
Phone: moto stylus

Both equally Meh
They do their job, but the alternatives do them better

[azure pond]

Imo 3060 ti

[pulsar fable]

:[
The 3060ti went out of stock at all my local best buy in the last hour

And there isn't one for another 250 miles

That's what I get for not paying attention I guess

[azure pond]

makes the decision easy atleast

[gaunt agate]

i did reinstall it but it didnt change and the annoying thing is, it happenes only with epic only, steam and other programs are alr

[azure pond]

i bought that monitor, I'll rationalize it later

i still stand by 240hz is kinda pointless over 165h, but at barely over m27q price? I had to

[grand orbit]

@azure pond says 420 for me for some reason

[azure pond]

yeah, oos

was only 4 left when i found it

figured still worth posting tho

[grand orbit]

Ahh that's v nice deal tho

[azure pond]

yeah, couldnt pass it up

[grand orbit]

It's also rgb instead of gbr panel which fixes any text unclarity that could slightly appear on m27q

[pulsar fable]

Model > Brand

[grand orbit]

Gigabyte probably make the best monitors overall imo

With msi and lg and a joint 2nd

[pallid geyser]

Hmm, the m27q 165hz is on sale for $279

Wish I’d of caught the other one but still

[jolly inlet]

Oh good it came back down

I'm biased against HP and Dell, but that's just me

You could have good experiences, my friend didn't tho

[light holly]

This will be better

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali564/p/N82E16883360194

because the one you posed is 11th gen

12th gen i5 is better than 11th gen i7

oof yes

sorry

sorry. I'm half busy trying to help. I'll have to help later when I can focus my attention on helping

[pulsar fable]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali633/p/N82E16883360298

Wait no that's 1.2k

[light holly]

and a suffocating case

[jolly inlet]

It's not just you, proprietary garbage you can't upgrade is destined to be e-waste very quickly

[pulsar fable]

Especially the power supplies and/or motherboards

[jolly inlet]

And case, and cooler

[chrome peak]

i feel like hp laptops are those disposable cameras

[jolly inlet]

I can kinda give a pass on laptops because they're pretty upgrade restricted usually anyway

[chrome peak]

yea

but they become slow in like a week of use

[pulsar fable]

If a part breaks, we'd like you to be able to replace it with an off the shelf part rather than buying a whole new system

[chrome peak]

i have one and it barely runs windows 10 😭

[jolly inlet]

If you don't do a clean install yeah

That's my default, new laptop, new OS

[pulsar fable]

First thing I got when I got my Dell laptop, fresh windows 10 install

[chrome peak]

yea thats good

[jolly inlet]

... PC stands for personal computer

[pulsar fable]

Hopefully I didnt need to keep the extra partitions that were on it

[jolly inlet]

They're the same thing

[chrome peak]

isnt that what a desktop/laptop is

a pc

[jolly inlet]

Your phone counts as a PC

[pulsar fable]

Macs technically also count

[chrome peak]

yea

has a cppu

ram

etc

case

[azure pond]

not really, check the one that pato linked

for sub 1k, check this out https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-void-x-ryzen-5-5600x-6-core-4-6ghz-radeon-rx-6600-8gb-desktop-pc-for-gaming.html

psu is a lil sus

[light holly]

link?

[azure pond]

hp builds are kinda meh, if that's what youre talking about

they overheat, have bad customization, and are overall just not great

if you ever decide to upgrade, you'll have to make pretty much a new pc

https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-td300-intel-i5-12400f-six-core-4-4ghz-nvidia-rtx-3060-ti-8gb-next-day-gaming-pc.html also take a look at this one

it's also a good bit better than that HP build in just regular performance

[chrome peak]

i paid like 115 for an rx 6500 xt and i have mixed feelings abt it like its good but i kinda have doubt idk

[azure pond]

3060 ti reams the 3060, and the 12400f is enough for even a 3090 ti for gaming

better overall quality too

[light holly]

that other pc you linked for $150 less will have more issues out the box

[azure pond]

you should look at the UK hp site

i dont even think the US site ships to the UK

what

[jolly inlet]

Do you have a PCIe 4.0 system? If not your performance is being nerfed

[azure pond]

OH

IM AN IDIOT

i thought you were someone else

who came here asking about a 1-2k pound pc for the UK

wow i feel so stupid rn

[light holly]

I mean.. it's a crappy pc for the cost and you will have issues the second you pull it out of the box

It's going to overheat and cause you a headache

[chrome peak]

think mine is 3.0 i have a gigabyte a320 s2h cf

[azure pond]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali617-master/p/N82E16883360282R?Description=3060 abs&cm_re=3060_abs-_-83-360-282R-_-Product anyways, if you're fine with open box I'd do this for the US

dell is also pretty mid

[chrome peak]

if ur right then ri[

rip

[azure pond]

I somehow doubt that

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali583-master/p/N82E16883360218R?Description=3060 ti abs&cm_re=3060_ti abs-_-83-360-218R-_-Product this is also a great option

[light holly]

how old is it? what are the specs?

[ebon stratus]

Jim Bean#7119 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[light holly]

then that's why

stuff nowadays needs efficient airflow/cooliong

our advice is to stop looking towards dell/hp. they suck

that includes alienware

[chrome peak]

asus is cool

[jolly inlet]

Yes that's 3.0, and since the GPU only has 4 PCI lanes you're losing a fair bit of performance

[azure pond]

meh

not their pre builts

they have some decent parts

[chrome peak]

oh hes looking for a prebuilt

[chrome peak]

yea i was refering to that

i thought he was just refercing off of prebuilts or something to build a pc

[chrome peak]

dang thanks tho

[light holly]

their overall prebuilds are bad perf/value

performance to value ratio....

You spend more for less when you go with HP or Dell

[chrome peak]

so i would just go for a new mobo that has 4 pci if i were to upgrade something in my pc later on

[light holly]

what?

Look at it this way. You buy something with a case that chokes your airflow.. your hardware will heat up and in turn will throttle your hardware causing it to perform bad.

as well as cause damage to that hardware if it gets hot enough

correct.

[jolly inlet]

You would need a new mobo for sure but also processor unless it's a 3000 or 5000 processor already

[chrome peak]

yea i got a 3000 but im looking into a 5000

ryzne 5 5000

[jolly inlet]

So yeah a B550 mobo will let you use the full potential of that 6500 XT

[chrome peak]

alr sounds good

thanks man

[jolly inlet]

Or X570 but no need for that

[chrome peak]

lmao

[jolly inlet]

Np

[light holly]

yes and possibly whatever cooler they have on the CPU as well as they could be using a crappy PSU.

The ram may be crappy as well

[grand orbit]

Just don't go 5500 or 5600g

[tiny heron]

Isn't the 5500 just a dumbed down 3600

[grand orbit]

Yes

[chrome peak]

i was gonna go r5 5500x

[jolly inlet]

Do the 5600 instead, it's far better

The non-letter and X model are good

The 5500 is PCIe 3.0 so you'd end up with the same GPU problem

[tiny heron]

I believe the 3600 is cheaper atm than the 5500

Pcie 4.0 and bigger l3 cache

[jolly inlet]

Just upgrading the motherboard alone so that it is 4.0 compatible is the best move. If you already have a 3600 or something upgrading to 5000 series isn't a big jump, especially with a low end GPU.

[grand orbit]

I assume you meant 5600x but yeah what falcie said

Cuz afaik there's only 5500, 5600, 5600x

[jolly inlet]

Correct

[chrome peak]

yea typo

[slow sluice]

@mortal blaze 12100f is cheaper

[torpid night]

also doesn’t have graphics. but if you don’t need that, then go for it

[surreal cliff]

A Lenovo ThinkPad L460 with display not working, no RAM and SSD (removed by the seller) for $20

Do you guys think it's worth the gamble?

[grand orbit]

Sounds like a lot of effort for one with a broken display kinda ruins the point of a laptop

[stoic crest]

^

Laptop displays are also not cheap to replace

They run at least 50+

Overall I think you're looking to break $300 mark so easily

[azure pond]

not really

[light holly]

Idk much about ram prices, but I know this ram is recommended a lot.. is this a good deal for it?

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232091

[loud sandal]

no RGB ew bad deal

[shut spoke]

Eagle OC 3070 now down to $520

[brittle lagoon]

It's good but not great, this is basically same price
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MLX5Z1D

[light holly]

alright. Thank you

[surreal cliff]

What does that mean, if I may ask?

[pulsar fable]

Think of it like a broken car that looks good. Sure it may be cheap but you'd be spending as much if not more to fix that car into a working state

At that point, you'd be better off buying something new

[surreal cliff]

Ahh ok ok, thank you for the explanation

[lean briar]

[jolly inlet]

5000D has the airflow option and is cheaper. 5000X is solid glass only. It looks nice but it's bad for high end components.

[stoic crest]

^

Toasty case

[lean briar]

You cant change the front panel?

[slow sluice]

You can, but as far as I've seen Corsair support doesn't send it out for free since it's a "different product." That adds a good 15-20 to the cost assuming that you can find the replacement panel in stock somewhere

[jolly inlet]

The anti X99 crowd is coming out in force I see

[quasi pasture]

indeed

I agree that just because you found a used one in your area that no one else has access to that saying what was posted isn't a good deal is.. lame.

Funny thing is I posted an lga2011-3 socket CPU a bit ago and it got a lot of upvotes

[pulsar fable]

It's all about audience

I don't speak for everyone, but a lot of us want raw gaming performance. Not sure we're gonna be getting more performance out of an old server board over a 12100

[quasi pasture]

Its not even a server board

X99 is still king for budget multicore performance

[fleet marlin]

How is a 2014 high end CPU better* than a modern Ryzen, even in a budget setting?

[fleet marlin]

Btw that pny for $770 feels like crap when the strix has been $800 & TUF at 750, etc.

[cinder kiln]

[grand orbit]

Basically clocks and ipc improvements

The old haswell has clocks and ipc improvements? Or the Ryzen. I slightly changed the question and that changes the context

[cinder kiln]

[grand orbit]

The newer cpu

Oh i see

[cinder kiln]

IPC gets better the older it gets man

[cinder kiln]

Moor's law is reversed

[azure pond]

6600 is $250 and beats it

[fleet marlin]

Cpus are like wine, sometimes they turn to vinegar

[grand orbit]

Get an rx 660 for like 10$ more

Geah

[azure pond]

And 6600xt is $300 and destroys it

[quasi pasture]

It's more of a performance per dollar thing, because of how cheap the cpus are, and how many features you get on this platform. It just so happens that you can get better multicore performance as well because the CPUs go up to 18 core chips on haswell-e and 22 cores on broadwell-e. Though for high core counts, haswell-e is the better deal right now since it's really cheap and can be modified to boost on all cores

[quasi pasture]

That doesn't even make sense

[pulsar fable]

EVGA has the 2060 ko cards for $210. Do those still have the binned 104 chips in them?

Same as the 2080/2070s?

[oak sentinel]

Ur brain just too smooth

[raw inlet]

Like where? On Amazon and many other websites I always see 140

About that

[grand orbit]

Feel free to check yourself https://it.pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#S=3200,6600&Z=32768002&sort=price&page=1

Amazon search sucks anyway

Their sort low to high is horrible

And so is the rest of their filters

[raw inlet]

It's real
I always searched on Amazon and found 130-150€ 32gb but... There are these ones, there hidden in the backrooms of amazon

Thanks pato

Didn't know it was possible to get cheap ram here

I knew about gskill ones but they've always got the lowest prices

However they're not many, after those 5 cheaper ones they're almost all over 120

Thanks

[grand orbit]

Yup no prob

That's why i always use pcpp

[jolly inlet]

Amazon search suuuuucks

[raw inlet]

Now I can confirm

Because even if you select "from lower price" listing it starts showing you also 8gb modules, 16, different freq

[jolly inlet]

The search results show socks when I search for a SSD using the joke of a filter selection and sort

That's not a typo, I said socks

[raw inlet]

I guess I found one of the chepaest ram on Amazon
Ddr4 3200 sodimm for 10€

1Rx16

[grand orbit]

Literally tried using Amazon search one time to sort low to high, in default view there was a item lower than anything after i sorted from low to high @raw inlet

[cloud hornet]

@grand orbit @raw inlet Use browser search engine. site:amazom.com 32gb ddr4 (Use whatever italy ending is tho for Amazon). Doesn't help a huge amt for sorting by lowest price, but can really help with finding correct results. Can prolly use browser shop option with cool search functions to sort by lowest price tbf, but I haven't looked into it.

[raw inlet]

I guess I'll start to look on pcpp and see the best products from lower to higher price and then check the product on Amazon

It's probably the best way to

[pulsar fable]

I'd keep this guide in the back of my head while looking for stuff

In the filters section you can filter by merchants and only select Amazon if you want

[jolly inlet]

I assume you mean carrier unlocked? Probably direct from Apple

[mortal blaze]

refurbished is good 4 me

Refurbished Apple products are super rare outside of local retailers and eBay where they claim it's "refurbished" but they only cleaned it and factory reset it

[fair moon]

No reason for an aftermarket CPU cooler with the 5600's stock cooler

If you want your PC to sound like it's prepping for flight, sure.

Unless they've updated the design?

I have used my stock cooler that came with my 3600x on both that and my 5600x. Quite loud and not great performance.

[mortal blaze]

@quasi abyss stop sendin msi periféricos 😭

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-gif-19124743

[jolly inlet]

The difference is the 3600X is a 95W processor and the 5600 (and 5600X for that matter) is 65W

[fair moon]

My 3600x came with a Wraith Spire which I've also used on my 5600x and even on a 65W tdp it isn't good

[jolly inlet]

Yeah the stealth was kinda bad, it's been updated

[fair moon]

It's a Spire my bad

But the new CPUs come with an even smaller one

The Stealth

Shorter heatsink

[jolly inlet]

It's not ideal but it shouldn't thermal throttle

[fair moon]

Yeah but it's the very bare minimum to not throttle, hence why I was disagreeing with the Reddit op's statement about "no reason" for an aftermarket cooler

[jolly inlet]

Oh yeah there's definitely a reason for aftermarket, it's just not required

It's fine for lower budget builds

[azure pond]

$1400 2080 ti on b stock

Vs $420 3060 ti on b stock

Hmm

It is so damn tempting to get that 660p and abandon my hard drive

[jolly inlet]

Also compare that $1400 2080 ti to the $1050 3090 ti on b stock

[azure pond]

If you know, how does the 660p compare to the mp33 and p31?

I guess comparing drives like that isn't very exact

I'd assume 660p is better than mp33 by a decent margin, but still noticeably worse than the p31

[slow sluice]

Mp33 would be better than the 660p

[jolly inlet]

It's pretty comparable to the mp33 actually

Depends on the metrics you're looking at

[slow sluice]

Main thing is the 660p is old QLC

[jolly inlet]

Ah yeah that would be a black mark on it's quality

[slow sluice]

It's a nice budget drive for bulk game storage

[jolly inlet]

Oh definitely, as long as you're not doing too many writes. It wouldn't be a good chia drive lol.

[slow sluice]

If you're looking for a boot/system drive though idk how much I'd trust it when TLC drives aren't that much more expensive

[loud sandal]

@quasi pasture I wanna get cpu just cause but what mobo would I need haha

[quasi pasture]

the cpu i listed?

you'd need a board with a 2011-3 socket lol

like an x99 board :)

[azure pond]

What's a rough comparison for it if you know off the top of your head?

Might be putting together a cheapish build for a friend soon

[grave delta]

Like a ryzen 1600 or something

[quasi pasture]

2600

but faster

and better overclocker

so basically a 3600

[azure pond]

Alr, better to reuse their 3400g then

Ty

[light holly]

@sonic grail eh deal because of the rebate. Could be a VERY long time before you even for the rebate card. Listing seems sus to me anyways.

[sonic grail]

Yeah that was what I was thinking.

Last time I tried to get a rebate they never sent it to me. 😭

[light bay]

Theoretically it's legit but I'm on like a year for my $10 enermax rebate rn 💀

Ofc sample size of one so YMMV

[sonic grail]

You waited 1 year?

What is YMMV?

[light holly]

Ime, all of my rebates have taken at least 6 months, from other well known vendors like MSI and Gigabyte.

[light bay]

Yea

Corsair so far has been my favorite for PC parts

[light holly]

Your mileage may vary.

[sonic grail]

Ahh gotcha thank you.

[light holly]

I haven't had any rebates from corsair yet.

Although corsair customer service seems pretty

[sonic grail]

Corsair design is usually pretty too.

[light holly]

I only have 2 of their cases.

Actually have 3 cases and 2 sets of fans from them as well as a psu

1 case and the fans and psu I got as a package deal for $50

Most likely won't use the fans or case unless I build something to sell

[fair moon]

My gigabyte one only took a couple weeks, it probably just depends on how congested the mailing centers and receiving end is

[light holly]

I suppose. I've done 3 mir for gigabyte at different times.

It took forever for them to approve each one and after months of no updates, I call them only to be told they don't have access to see where it is in processing. Then I get my rebate a couple weeks later.

[fair moon]

Huh

[light holly]

What do you mean huh?

[fair moon]

Just odd that it's taken so long for all 3 of yours

I've done one and had a friend do a couple and they both went thru pretty quick

[light holly]

@mighty otter it actually looks like that case is $99.99 if you take advantage of the MIR as well. Might mention that it's a good case IF you get an airflow panel through Corsair Support, but may have to pay for it.

[mighty otter]

You right I thought it was already added lmfao

It's still a stellar deal

[light holly]

Eh, The 5000D is only $5 more atm and you can get the airflow panel for free from Corsair support.

[pulsar fable]

Hmm, I'd be weary of that enermax deal. I got a bunch of those fans with the rebates for Christmas, but none of the rebates materialized

[light holly]

For the 5000X to be as good you'll have to pay extra for the airflow panel which would put it above the 5000D price at that point

[light holly]

yeah DPCL was saying the same thing

[pulsar fable]

The fan itself is actually quite nice, but not worth $15 when you can just get some arctic p12s or f12s

[pulsar fable]

Sorry I just woke up and I'm late to the party

[light holly]

Not a problem. It's welcoming to have others input.

Especially on something like this. Don't want people to spend that much if they never will receive the deal that is posted.

Now that there have been multiple reports of the rebate pretty much being a sham... can we delete the listing for the enermax fans please? @grand orbit

[mighty otter]

Yeah but with the 5000x u get free fans

Free RGB fans that are pretty ok

It's like sp 120 elites or something in the 5000x?

[high radish]

I got hyte y60 but I'm too lazy to move my build in it lol

[high radish]

We have Chromebook at amazon treasure truck https://www.amazon.com/ttgo

[grand orbit]

Yeah but 3 rgb fans ( i think pwm too) vs not as good 2 black fans dc fans makes it even better

[light holly]

pfft. I'm shilling over here. Leave me beeeee

❤️

[light holly]

Ok, It's a better deal.

[grand orbit]

lol

[shut spoke]

Been waiting for a 4000/5000x to be cheap in white but ig the deals are only for the black versions

[verbal kraken]

@shut spoke are you looking for the Corsair 4000/5000x case?

[shut spoke]

Yep. I really like the fans and I’ll just swap the front panel for the airflow version

Saw that the lowest for the white 4000x was around $108 so I’m waiting for it to get to that price

Tempted to get the black 5000x but I’d prefer the white version at the cost of the 3 side fans

[verbal kraken]

@shut spoke What model fans are they?

[shut spoke]

I think the ones on the X version are 120sp elites PWM from what I saw

Abt $80 for 3

[verbal kraken]

yea I like the 5000d airflow, there's so much room to build in

[shut spoke]

Also, does anyone know the the top panel can be swapped too for the airflow version?

It looks like both are glass

[stoic crest]

4000x doesn't have glass top

[shut spoke]

Ahhh ok. That’s good then

[high radish]

andd 5700x is oos already

[light holly]

@vague pine Do glass skates make your mouse glide easier?

[fair moon]

Afaik the main upgrade is lower initial friction

Like when beginning a movement after being still

[slow sluice]

Weird, I would have thought ptfe would work better for that

[fair moon]

I could be wrong, that's just what I remember hearing about glass

[light holly]

After watching vid, it offers low static pressure, so whether its initial friction or not, it's just gonna glide easier than non glass. Even on high friction pads.

[light holly]

[brittle lagoon]

Prob gonna change it back soon

It's good, for good gen 4 drives, compare to s70 blade or xs70 price for reference

(those 2 tend to be best value)

[steel wren]

just help the bois here with your budget and im sure they will help you tailoring your friend pc

his/her budget anyway

[brittle lagoon]

S70 blade and xs70 2tb average 200-220$

[mortal blaze]

i just send that
https://a.co/d/ikYRDBI
and i said her im goin later for upgrade SSD and RAM

[brittle lagoon]

Sub 1000$ prebuilts tend to not be priced well

@lunar thorn btw for clarification you can say the M390 is equivalent to like Samsung 980 and the M490 980 Pro

Just to make it easier for other people

Lol

[light bay]

anyone looking at that 240r just something to keep in mind - msi decided to spread out the pump throughout the radiator, its not in the block. just a thing to keep in mind

[brittle lagoon]

Yea, afaik v2 has pump in rad, but not sure which other versions does so too

[grand orbit]

You can get new b560s for like 70$ still not worth it unless going like i3 10100

[pulsar fable]

Micro center has a b450m + 5600 for $180. Not saying people should get it just that it's oan option

[grand orbit]

Ohh that's nice what b450?

[pulsar fable]

Also a b550m + 5600x for $220, but the extra $40 for a 550 board with wifi over a b450 board without plus the "x" in the CPU can be debated whether that's a good deal

One sec I'll get the links

This is the 5600x + b550m wifi
https://www.microcenter.com/product/650540/amd-5-5600x-oem-(heatsink-not-included),-msi-b550m-pro-vdh-(wifi)-amd-am4-microatx-cpu-motherboard-combo

And here's the 5600 + b450m
https://www.microcenter.com/product/650539/amd-5-5600-oem-(heatsink-not-included),-asus-b450m-pro-s-tuf-gaming-amd-am4-microatx-cpu-motherboard-combo

The other two deals currently are a 5700x + x570 for $300 and 11700k + z590 for $270

[grand orbit]

Both are good but the b450 and 5600 is way better imo

[pulsar fable]

For $40 less? Heck yeah

[grand orbit]

You should post in tech deals

[pulsar fable]

Gotta wait, already posted the 2tb 970 Evo for $160

I can post the links to the other mobo+CPU deals here, but I'm not sure the performance improvement for a 5700x or 11700k is worth the extra $100

[grand orbit]

Oh right slow mode

[pulsar fable]

I take back what I said that 11700k deal no longer exists

[grand orbit]

Honestly would have rathered 5700x x570 for 300 anyway

[azure pond]

https://sellout.woot.com/offers/asus-am4-tuf-gaming-x570-plus-motherboard-open-box-2?ref=w_cnt_wp_1_34

Hmm

[grand orbit]

Ehh for 130

Same price as x570 aorus master

[azure pond]

110 with Amazon prime

[grand orbit]

Ntb

[shut spoke]

Master is oos on woot I think. Can’t check the price for it but $130 is great

[grand orbit]

Think it's on wegg or amz can't remember, pcpp will tell you

But ehh cus ryzen cpus atm are badly priced

[shut spoke]

I got the 5600x when it was at $165 but I want to replace my old b450-f

[grand orbit]

No reason too without upgrading cpu which would be pointless especially with new cpus coming out in like a months time

[mortal blaze]

x570 aorus elite 129

[azure pond]

I'm so tempted to get that ram and ssd for am5

@steel wren think i should?

[high radish]

That ram ssd bundle is good but backorder

Heres another deal

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4512606&isPLP=true

I think it's worth to share at deals channel

[grand orbit]

It's ntb ram works out at like 120$ ish

[high radish]

Mobo is 250$ at amazon

[quasi pasture]

Dang that lot of 1660V3's I posted a few days ago is down to 38 now

actually nuts deal

[steel wren]

damn, im not sure... altho ddr5 prices are already falling

still 670 mobos are the real paywall, those extreme versions are way overpriced

hmmm ddr5+nvme... damn, so juicy

still on backorder... im too tempted as well

[grand orbit]

B650 tho

[steel wren]

dont think those will be available this year

[grand orbit]

X670 non e will anyway

[steel wren]

amd need to milk the big cows first

prolly, yes

5600c36 not that bad tho

i mean, they are not that good either, but hey! a pcie4 2tb cardea drive

[grand orbit]

5600 c36 ehh probably crucial which is sad if you wanna oc

[steel wren]

1st review tell us about easy 6600c32 on a b660i oc

hynix die

👀

[cinder kiln]

That'll be samsung or hynix cos T Force sku

[grand orbit]

When its under 6200mhz it's a gamble on what die you get

[steel wren]

true

[grand orbit]

6200+ is hynix

[cinder kiln]

Tho my info is a bit dated on t force delta so that might be different now

[grand orbit]

Over 5600mhz is samsung or hynix

[cinder kiln]

But shouldn't be micron afaik

[grand orbit]

5600 could be micron

[cinder kiln]

T force likes sammies and hinnies

[grand orbit]

But maybe they not

[cinder kiln]

Either way it's kinda meh in the sense that you got better ddr5 on the way rn with new hynix, but still the total price on those kits is pretty good

[steel wren]

yeah, the nvme was the hot deal

2tb on pcie4 for free

[brittle lagoon]

Lol

Fun tale of two cities reference lol

But hey the m390 is oos now, partly to you buying it

Rip

[cinder kiln]

I MISSED OCF

[jolly inlet]

What a weird bin on that memory. It even claims to have different timings between AMD and Intel lol

[quasi pasture]

the amd and intel thing could make sense, but yea that's a bit weird

[jolly inlet]

It's not even like they have an odd cas latency or anything, it's more like they're hiding the fact it's a terrible die that hates Ryzen.

[quasi pasture]

or ryzen just sucks at mem oc

distinguishing it by chipset and not architecture doesnt make any sense though

[turbid locust]

Good

[turbid locust]

There's no such thing

ICs not liking a platform is frequency bound, it's not gonna magically run looser timings

Usually they'll run even timings just to play nice with GDM

[jolly inlet]

That's what we're saying, everything about those sticks is super weird

The "Intel Z490" timings would work just fine on Ryzen, there's no odd numbers

[cinder kiln]

This is marketing at play
