I'm looking for a gaming desktop price range $500-$1000
I I saw some good deal
Genshin, lol, andsome open world, new York, res as long as the game is playable
grand orbit
Can you also narrow down your budget? 500 will get you pretty low end, 1k will get you mid high end
granite fjord
500 to 1k
granite fjord
Also does that include a monitor etc?
No
Just need the desktop
No mouse or keyboard needed
Yes
The best deap
With cm discount and etc
❤️
But do I need to install any software?
Or startup?
brittle lagoon
Windows
granite fjord
Like the pc this is for is a completely new
brittle lagoon
If you build a new PC, first thing you do is install windows (or whatever other OS of choice)
granite fjord
Do u have one that's pre build?
Luke tge best out of all the deal on cyber monday?
azure pond
Pre builts for that budget are almost nonexistent
brittle lagoon
If you get a prebuilt, first thing you want to do is uninstall bloat most of the time, and enable xmp
azure pond
Not unless you spend closer to $800

Just need the desktop

Also catched 64gb ddr5 6400kit for sale

Nope need class 4 pistons on the chair, we're on the heavier side and the kids like to sit in our laps

high radish
I don't know if I should switch to 4k monitors or not

Oh and my wife doesn't like mesh seats

AMD CPUs had amazing sale as well 
jolly inlet
Don't go out of your way looking for one just if you happen upon a deal
A totally expected and planned sale yes, they were expected to drop prices hard. It was an early adopter fee.
high radish
I sold my used 12900k for 400$
jolly inlet
Finding the 5800X3D consistently for $330 is nice too as a final upgrade on AM4
high radish
idk why but 5800x3d dor 330$ not looks like deal anymore lol
Maybe because it's been for that price for a few weeks
jolly inlet
Why not it still goes toe to toe with the 13600k on a cheaper platform
high radish
Looks like 13th gen gonna keep its crown for awhile 
jolly inlet
If by a while you mean until February yes
molten halo
That l3 cache might make the 5800x3d a long lasting gaming king 👀
high radish
I honestly thinking single core performance is more important
jolly inlet
That l3 cache might make the 5800x3d a long lasting gaming king 👀
Again, only lasting until February with the 7800X3D and 7950X3D
jolly inlet
I honestly thinking single core performance is more important <:hmm:885706594564...
To production tasks yes but modern games love that cache
molten halo
But graphs and it’s not like it’s gunna have all the new features that come with new platforms, just mean it’ll likely stay more competitive longer
high radish
Which where amd have been avoiding to push core speeds up to avoid power consumption and thermal issues
molten halo
Meanwhile the thiccccc ihs on tht 7000
jolly inlet
7950X is pretty damn efficient in 95W eco mode
high radish
But recently amd being more sneaky than intel and nvidia lol
jolly inlet
Meanwhile the thiccccc ihs on tht 7000
Just makes it easier to slide that cache in there later
molten halo
Think amd should’ve just gotten rid of of cooler compatibility in favor of better thermals
Tru
People were already spending a arm and a leg on the new platform might as well have
jolly inlet
That was one of the main issues with the 5800X3D, they had barely enough room after shaving down the IHS and die to fit the cache. Yields were terrible.
molten halo
Not to mention the cache kinda acted like a heater
jolly inlet
*insulator
high radish
molten halo
Like a warm sweater for them chiplets
jolly inlet
Heat generation was the same but thermal transfer worse
At least the IHS problem is easily solved with a bit of sandpaper on 7000
molten halo
Tru
jolly inlet
And the right cooler to close the gap
molten halo
Considering the type of cooling people needed off the start for 7k think they probably all own a decent 360+
jolly inlet
Honestly I've seen testing and there's very little difference between a 240 and 360mm AIO on a 7700X
It gets like 50-100 mhz boost which is barely anything
They really did design them to hit 95 before anything else
It took using the old wraith cooler to artificially limit the cpu
molten halo
Maybe some bios tuning would help, but tbh my brother was messing with a 7950x and could barely get much of a boost out of two thick 280s in a custom loop
Def needs a delid or a shave
jolly inlet
Undervolt it, they're pretty aggressive with the voltage
The more thermal headroom the more voltage it crams in
molten halo
He’s done a decent job with it, but then of course one update later his ram wouldn’t boot at 6k
Took like a week+ to get stable again

I've used quite a few different mouse peripherals through the years. Never found it necessary to worry about weight or most other specs. mostly as long as it works, i'm good with it. most notable difference I have ever found was wireless for wired lag. Even that is shrinking to be almost negligible
My current mouse has weights I can add to it. probably not a great mouse by most people. Never had an issue with it though

I am just not very impressed by a $370 27" 1440p monitor. I mean sure 240hz but also still seems kinda high

to me 1440p should top a 165hz.... 240hz on 1440p is a waste onf money (on my opinion ofc), better to jump to 4k at that point

thats why i said, just my opinion 😛
to me games on 1440p over/at 150fps so/so at ultra are more than enough for my tastes
the budget spent on a 240hz could be put to better use (on my case ofc)
4k at 60hz is a no no for me on gaming, to even consider it i will need a card like a 4090 to justify a 144hz gaming 4k escenario

any linux > arch

yeah i would just toss it on fb marketplace for like 400

It's the 512GB model though so it's the $650 msrp one

No point, they've actually been in stock lately in the steam store
bro kids on their parents phone will buy anything
lofty moss
It's the 512GB model though so it's the $650 msrp one
ya but i want to actually sell it
light bay
take the people paying like $700 for a 1660 super for example
lofty moss
and not just have it sit there for a year
jolly inlet
I didn't say sell it for msrp I'm saying you can get more than $400 for it
lofty moss
but yes i could probably get closer to 550
light bay
im saying sell it for 999.99
then set original price on marketplace to 1999.99 so it looks like its half off
lofty moss
i actually couldn't remember what the steam deck cost at all so i was just throwing out a random number
jolly inlet
That anti glare glass upgrade on it is nice too over the 256GB model

Depending on how long the event runs they're easily giving out 100+ top spec decks so I like my odds

and leave the rest at default
my default voltage is 1175
i was undervolted btw
not oced
yea
im wondering if i should oc
or not
go back to it i mean
cinder kiln
Pretty sure it was the oc cos you had stuttering after the fact
You could do stuff like normal instead of fast vram timings
nocturne temple
yea but i was stuttering with stock settings to
nocturne temple
You could do stuff like normal instead of fast vram timings
like what
nocturne temple
soo just fast vram timings
cinder kiln
And a much more conservative clock oc
cinder kiln
soo just fast vram timings
No normal timing
nocturne temple
ohh alright
cinder kiln
Fast timings can lead to instabilities
As well as too high a frequency target
As was said you get clock stretching
cinder kiln
To me on a regular XTX, daily frequency shouldn't really go higher than like 2500
Mins you can bring up but depends on stability as dyno said, don't want stretching
Vram turn it up to 2100 then try normal timings
If that's still unstable then you will need to go lower and at that point you may as well go stock
But I thought stock was pretty stable for you?
nocturne temple
But I thought stock was pretty stable for you?
Well at stock with my gpu I wasn’t even getting the correct frames to begin with that’s why I OC
But it might be fixed now since it’s stable on stock

"supports lga1700 brackets"
Almost makes it sound like it'll work with other general brackets
Like, it's not a specific lga1700 bracket you need
cinder kiln
Some lga1200's just work with lga1700
I had that with my eisbaer LT
It's not good but it works
Cos you can shift the location of the screws on some of them
Here we go, one sec I have a pic
Those little squares on the corners are the screws, they can slide inwards or outwards
It's stuck with adhesive onto the stock cpu backplate for my z690
(I later took both off for an alphacool apex)
But this is supposed to be lga1200
It fits on the z690 tho

Pretty common for those plastic brackets to have multiple mounting/screw positions
