[shut spoke]

Mp34 good for a boot drive?

[azure pond]

yes

[shut spoke]

I’m considering a 970evo plus for a boot drive and might use the mp34 as a game drive

Is it dramless

[azure pond]

yes, dram is near irrelevant for performance

atleast for gaming/boot anyways

maybe like 2-3 seconds in boot time

but that's about it

[fair moon]

yeah especially for modern nvme ssds it really isnt that important

[shut spoke]

Is it reliable? I heard Samsung and wd black is reliable but I want to be really safe with my os

Any bad experiences?

[azure pond]

yes it is reliable

every single product has bad experiences

including top end drives like the 980 pro

[shut spoke]

I’ll get the 2tb and a 1tb then

And get rid of my hdd

[azure pond]

hdds are fine for secondary drives

just suck for boot

[pallid geyser]

ehh that monitor seems

ehh

https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-vg24vq1b-23-8/p/N82E16824281165? Here’s a new one, ASUS & $149 after rebate, I’d honestly say worth the extra for a new monitor & ASUS over ONN

VA panel tho

But this one was on sale for $119 on Black Friday iirc

[slow sluice]

It has one of the highest durability ratings of all drives in that general performance class

[slow sluice]

Also don't spend more than $70 or so per TB on the 970 evo plus, any more than that and you can almost definitely find a better deal elsewhere

[shut spoke]

Alright thanks. Hopefully the mp34 arrives quickly

[shut spoke]

With the hdd cage in, there’s about an inch of work room for cables so I am eager to remove it

[vapid wraith]

hey guys

i just want to see if i made a good purchaseee

i bought a laptop with an i711800H and rtx 3050ti for 500usd

[azure pond]

that's pretty good\

[vapid wraith]

what if i got it for a 1000usd

[azure pond]

no

not in any world

[vapid wraith]

i cant refund

what do i do now

[grand orbit]

Well what price did you buy it for lol?

[vapid wraith]

1100 usd

[grand orbit]

Then why did you originally say 500?

[vapid wraith]

to feel better abt myself 😥

i got it 3 months ago

just wanted to cross check again

what do you think i should do

now

[azure pond]

not really much you can do

[vapid wraith]

oh

guess im screwed

happy new year

good bye

[loud sandal]

[slow sluice]

I'm a bit worried about that launch

[trim pier]

just upgraded my 12700k to a 13600k for $2.16 LOL

[daring depot]

The hell?

Good on you but REALLY?

[fleet marlin]

I downvoted because $300ish feels like such a normal price, haha. Nice score skyveha. 12700k is holding value pretty well it seems. I check em on Ebay sometimes. Gotta sell 12400 1st.

[grand orbit]

same price as KF so basically free igpu

[fleet marlin]

Ah that's true, good point. keep realizing I should've got 12600K when it was only $214 after an extra 5% back at Amazon. --- didn't* use 12400T (for bios) so I couldn't go straight to 13th gen anyways.

[loud sandal]

Yea lowest I seen is $280 then I remember Amazon and newegg had for $320

$300 is mid

[trim pier]

yup

[loud sandal]

But I upvoted bc it's $20 less

[trim pier]

issue is

micro center didn’t tell me I needed to upgrade bios

[daring depot]

Oof. I mean it's a cpu

They are kinda painful to swap

Ignore that

[loud sandal]

Bro my microcenter did he was like you have a mobo I'm like yes he was like you know you need bios update and I'm like yes he's like okay good

[trim pier]

So i’m stuck with a 12th gen no flash back mobo and a 13th gen cpu..

[trim pier]

they never talked to me like this.. bruh.

[loud sandal]

Haha

[daring depot]

I'm still here with a 9600kf

Enjoy!

[trim pier]

man St. louis MC be like.

30 minute drive too

i’ll just have to go to a best buy or find a friend with a 12th gen and see if they can help lmao

[trim pier]

I bought the 12600k and mobo deal on black friday for 300$, then 2 weeks later they had the i7 12700k mobo deal for 22$ more and I had my brother give me his 25$ off cpu coupon, then last night they lowered the i5 to 300$ so.. 2$ upgrade

it’s one month of upgrading for the same price lmao

[fleet marlin]

That rpl ipc is great in games at least. Eh, reseating a cpu to me always feels more of a hassle than it really is. Yea, cheapest 12th gen I've seen lately is $60+ for a certain 1 on Ebay that retailed for $42.

[trim pier]

now that realized it, i’ve upgraded from a i5 12600k to an i5 13600k in a month for only 1 cent LOL, just looked at both receipts.

[pulsar fable]

I know nothing about ram, all I see is that the neo Forza kit there has RGB, says 3600, so I assume it's at least decent?

[fleet marlin]

OC headroom is possibly 0 (unless forks or someone chines in), but indeed I feel it's a pretty decent pick around that price. Even generic-ish silicon power 3200c16 is often $65ish.

[brisk sphinx]

If it’s anything like the 4400cl19 kit then yeah the OC headroom was zero according to techpowerup

[cinder kiln]

Someone posted a screenshot showing hynix cjr but take it with a grain of salt

It's a good ddr4 budget kit, comes in just shy of the SP gaming 3200 kit we suggest in builds

Just avoid suggesting it with certain tower coolers (tall) and non-K ADL chips (3600 in gear 1 is a lottery)

[high radish]

Why is Neo Forza logo looks like 💩

[shrewd aspen]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NPJDPVG found this while using pcpp but not too sure how genuine it is

$100 usd seems off

[azure pond]

Yes it's fake

Look at the seller

[high radish]

Sus seller . From china with no reviews

[shrewd aspen]

oh it wasnt showing me the seller in general

[fleet marlin]

Would've known it was scam an hour ago if you saw the buildapcsales reddit & such, lol

[opal flume]

Ew, good thing I didn't buy that, I was thinking about it to see if it'd OC well

[fleet marlin]

White 3070 makes it nearly 3080 price, cool.

[cinder kiln]

It's Canadian

[fleet marlin]

I am aware. I suppose people will pay an extra $150ish usd for white.

@edgy prairie tech deals are for when there are for when there's multiple of an item to be bought that is a good deal not a once off ebay listing

[pulsar fable]

Is this overkill?
https://www.newegg.com/nextorage-2tb/p/0D9-0106-00005

[azure pond]

I would just get the nv2

Or mp33/mp34

[pulsar fable]

Yeah nv2 for $110 is hard to beat

[light bay]

Except that you can get the crappy one and probs will

Part swapping kinda kills the deal imo

Just another crucial p2 in my eyes now

[brittle lagoon]

P41 plus redemption arc

[light bay]

Yes

[pulsar fable]

Please don't remind me of the p2

[light bay]

I have a p2, so it's always in my mind

[pulsar fable]

So do I

I keep it under a heat spreader so it stays hidden

[brittle lagoon]

thankfully no one has caused me to remember my ms30

[light bay]

Tlc or qlc?

[pulsar fable]

I don't know and I don't know how to check honestly

All I know is that it's the 1tb model

Don't you uwu me

[pulsar fable]

Didn't someone post an ms30 for $100 recently as a ""deal""?

[quasi pasture]

ive checked ebay for new x99/x79/x299 boards daily for many months now but seeing garbage like this never gets any less annoying

[brittle lagoon]

I hate ms30 so much I've already unconsciously suppressed the memory of seeing it 3 days ago

[high radish]

that mobo is cheaper at antonline https://www.ebay.com/itm/304674361011?hash=item46f001ceb3:g:2owAAOSwmQRjWhGV

I think I saaw it for 175$ at black friday tho

[loud sandal]

omg thats who its by

[high radish]

lol antonline is legit seller I shopped from them a lot

[loud sandal]

yea thats why i posted him but lol ebay cheaper

[loud sandal]

well i already bought the mobo im not gunna cancel it just for $30 plus its already being shipped

[high radish]

[loud sandal]

@high radish can you help me really quickly have you seen any ram or power supply sales and or storage

not high storage sales like 1TB at most maybe

[high radish]

hmm that ddr5 kit is still abviable lol https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1668417-REG/xpg_ax5u5200c3816g_dclabk_ddr5_u_dimm_5200_32gb.html

not the best one but good price

[loud sandal]

oops

[trim pier]

should I run a pa120 SE or that arctic AIO on ebay for 50$ on my 13600k?

[loud sandal]

DDR4 oh maybe i can get that deal

[high radish]

its been awhile I dont following 1tb ssds lol let me see hows current prices

[loud sandal]

i mean Ig i dont need a deal

[trim pier]

true, just i’m so close to building my first pc already

I don’t wanna wait an extra 6 days I think 😭

but i’ll do it lmao

mp34 better tbh

[high radish]

looking for some teamgroup bundles lol

they having good ram ssd combo sometimes

[loud sandal]

oh

[trim pier]

that B stock LFII is great n all just the thing that connects to the CPU is not only ugly asf, but practically costs the same as a AG620/AK620 😭

[high radish]

cant really see good ram deal except this ram which its logo looks like 💩 lol https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00075

[trim pier]

it’s logo looks like the fortnite save the world type 💩

but for practically 65$, that’s a real great deal.

too bad I ordered the same type of ram just from teamgroup in black for 78.99..

[high radish]

yeah its good deal but idk why they didn't paid graphics designer well lmao

that logo is worst logo I ever seen lol

[trim pier]

it is possible to change the cpu block/aio pump on the Liquid Arctic Freezer 2?

[cinder kiln]

Why?

It's decent for 13th, idk why you'd do that

[short kindle]

@loud sandal I posted that a few days ago.

[loud sandal]

Posted what

[short kindle]

That mobo

[loud sandal]

Oh

Really

You did

Where

[short kindle]

[loud sandal]

Oh

I see

26th

[loud sandal]

[fleet marlin]

Why can't it be the ddr4 version, lol. Got my pro art b660 mobo sold in 1 day on Ebay. Guess I should've bought a few of em, haha. Now I can go z690 perhaps.

[trim pier]

ikik it’s just not that pretty looking, looks like i’m putting a hair clip onto my cpu 💀

[loud sandal]

DDR5 better

[cinder kiln]

Personally I wouldn't try mutilating it

They likely use their own standard parts

[trim pier]

ah

[cinder kiln]

So changing things is sketch

[trim pier]

I thought they would have parts available for it alreast

[cinder kiln]

I would keep it but if you had to change, sell it and sidegrade to a deepcool ls720

[trim pier]

cause there’s like some brands where you can change it and have like a useless led display on it or something

[cinder kiln]

Ah yeah

No those aio's aren't good

[trim pier]

ik that lol

sticking with my pa120 se otherwise

[short kindle]

Are they serious?? 🧐

[pallid geyser]

Do it

[jolly inlet]

Best seller

[cloud hornet]

Bstock Arctic AIOs seem to be unlisted on eBay, but can still find hyperlinks to them online. Found (RGB) 280mm options by doing this in Google search engine: site:ebay.com "ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II" "b-stock".

Finding hyperlinks is such a blessing when searching for unlisted content. I know it also works for BestBuy and Steam.

[jolly inlet]

That $80 one shows out of stock

[cloud hornet]

Welp, I cant see stock if it doesnt ship to me ig

Oh wait no I can, is just a small warning at top of page so didnt notice it. Thought lack of buy buttons were due to lack of shipping options.

[trim pier]

should I buy a 6750xt rn?

or wait a bit.

[steel wren]

prices are already low

i dont see any point in waiting anymore

[trim pier]

not as low like 3 days ago lmao

[dry flume]

I don't think prices will go down

at least not on 6000 series

[cinder kiln]

Most likely won't as they're basically moving last gen stock until new gen is out

[trim pier]

i see

cause they were around cheap 400 high 300’s range

same with like 6650xt some are close to msrp atm

[cinder kiln]

If anything they've been slowly trending up

Since black friday

Wouldn't bother waiting

[trim pier]

now i’m really debating if I should buy a 6750xt or a 6800 once the price is right 🤔

but tbh I gotta find a server with a bot that shows price and restock changes.

[high radish]

Me with 2.4k white strix 3090

[high radish]

any cheap 360hz monitor ? damn valorant players lol

[cinder kiln]

360hz?

I hope you mean 1440p

[high radish]

no lol just 24.5 fhd 360hz

[cinder kiln]

What gpu are you using with it

[high radish]

its not for myself lol I think his build is 12600k and 6700xt

[cinder kiln]

Ah

Ok that sounds realistic

A lot of the 360Hz screens use similar panels

[high radish]

yeah I using 2k monitors currently . still odyssey g9 laying around couse waiting for new desk lol

[cinder kiln]

They're very expensive the 360hz ones tho

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XBC48d/asus-rog-swift-pg259qnr-245-1920x1080-360-hz-monitor-90lm05q3-b01370

This would probably be the go to choice

[high radish]

I see all of them for 400$ I saw one for 200$ at black friday

[cinder kiln]

Cheaper than the regular, difference only being it has reflex analyser

Yeah they start at 360

[high radish]

so still 240hz looks better value

[cinder kiln]

The oculux is probably the same panel:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/J6BG3C/msi-oculux-nxg253r-245-1920x1080-360-hz-monitor-oculux-nxg253r

But I haven't verified it so maybe not

[high radish]

I saw this one for 200$ at black friday

I didn't know regular price for them is 400bucks lol

[cinder kiln]

Ah actually Rtings likes it

It's likely the same panel as the other good 360Hz displays

240Hz you'd be likely to get for a far better price tbh

Hell

Edit: nvm omg expensiveeee

Frametime pacing between 240hz and 360hz is a fraction of a second difference anyway so realistically the difference is minimal

[high radish]

actually I looking for max 27inch fhd high speed monitor

I think theres few cheap 27inch 240hz monitors around

[cinder kiln]

27inch 240hz you'll have not the greatest ppi

For fhd

[high radish]

[cinder kiln]

Fps matters but being able to see details in the frame kinda help a lot too

Lemme find a video that I think is great info on this

Brb

https://youtu.be/np--4AZxUBg

I believe this is the one where OT talks about details as well

[high radish]

[cinder kiln]

Yeah this is kinda important

Not that I'm saying don't go 360hz, just be wary of the actual marginal benefits about it tbh

[fleet marlin]

Bingo. 165 or 240hz is already a pretty good "refresh rate". Great solid monitor looking nice at 240hz would definitely beat some monitors at 300+. Although Dyac sort of stuff, that's another matter. I don't see much that reminds me of using a CRT like that.

[cinder kiln]

When you have a much clearer display with less ghosting at 240hz over 360hz just tryna brute force, personally I think that tradeoff is worth it

[cinder kiln]

Yeah, beyond 240 we really enter into serious diminishing returns

[high radish]

so any decent fhd 240hz one ?

[fleet marlin]

Oh 1440p240 isn't crazy lately either, but yes. I haven't gamed at 1440p yet, but I still feel 1080p is fine, lol.

[cinder kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Lnvbt6/asus-rog-strix-xg248q-238-1920x1080-240-hz-monitor-xg248q

I believe this uses one of the new 24" panels

[light holly]

1440p160 is def enough

[cinder kiln]

Hang on lemme check

Yeah it's an innolux panel

[grand orbit]

Buying a high end 1080p monitor in 2023 🤮

[cinder kiln]

I believe those are supposed to be a lot nicer than the 24.5" ones for high refresh iirc

Hey man, fps gamers who want it

[grand orbit]

Me who literally only plays fps

[cinder kiln]

U also use a D15

[grand orbit]

Honestly tho 27" is a comp advantage

[cinder kiln]

Weirdge

[grand orbit]

A free d15

[cinder kiln]

$30 d15

Reee

[grand orbit]

Or well 10€ if you count the lga1700 bracket

[high radish]

I don't think 6700xt is capable of 2k 240hz lol

[grand orbit]

Depends on the game init

[cinder kiln]

In light enough fps games it definitely can

Lol

Valorant runs on a toaster dunnit

[grand orbit]

So does overwatch and csgo

[high radish]

I barely getting 165fps with my 3080 couse I play gpu hungry games

[grand orbit]

Looking at fps numbers without saying what game it's from is useless so

[high radish]

Mostly playing battlefield 2042

And some dying light 2 , metro Exodus etc

All gpu hungry games lol

[grand orbit]

See i mainly play COD, csgo, overwatch which are all cpu demanding games all on low-med settings whatever gives best comp advantage

[high radish]

Gaming at 2k ultra with RT is amazing

[high radish]

Yeah the kid at my hood also playing games like that and I trying to find best monitor deal for.him

[jolly inlet]

But I get 500 fps and won't say in what or what settings

[grand orbit]

ah yes, inb4 csgo at 480p low everything disabled HUD stripped windows

[jolly inlet]

When does csgo hit engine limit

[grand orbit]

its actually very insteresting

it hits a server limit

https://youtu.be/5GneP6MuVOk

very interesting watch

[jolly inlet]

I've never actually checked before that's kinda cool

Source Engine ftw ig

[grand orbit]

yeah in certain spots with no hud etc he can get like 2500fps

kekw

on an offline map

but around 1000fps or something you get server limited because otherwise you would get speed hacks

even if you dont play its really interesting

[jolly inlet]

At 20% gpu usage tho?

[molten halo]

[jolly inlet]

And you didn't make me one?

[fleet marlin]

Yep, 500+ fps alone does most of the coil in my experiences. Besides 160ish cap in some games to match my refresh, I do the global cap at 480 (normal max of rtss for me even if punched in higher)

[jolly inlet]

She probably would tbh, she's always making me food without me asking

[high radish]

[vague pine]

i just need the v2 pro to go on sale for $100 flat and id buy it 😩

[minor nimbus]

what v2 pro

[cinder kiln]

Viper?

[jolly inlet]

Yay for killing the planet with single use plastics and papers

[fleet marlin]

I'm digging the viper ultimate was $55. Supposed 80hr battery is fine probably because of being on the dock when not used? Rvu is definitely way better than DA essential. Wireless is

[vague pine]

highest battery im pretty sure because it auto sleeps which you cant turn off sadly, and if you have the rgb off on the light

but still long enough

[fleet marlin]

Yea I figure around a week if it was 10hr game days is plenty (lately might last me 2wks per charge tbh). Another model had 200+ hr runtime but it's latency or somethin was worse.

[trim pier]

@vague pine what country are you from

dunno if these are the same but the charging dock + viper ultimate is 55$ still on best buy

60*

[vague pine]

theyre different mice

ultimate is older and heavier

the v2 pro is for those that like lightweight mice and also has 4k polling

[trim pier]

bro the ultimate is one of the lightest mouses i’ve ever held

compared to my dad’s 1.3 inch company mouse he got but otherwise

[vague pine]

theres still lighter

[trim pier]

I think the specs would be the only comparison

not the weight

[vague pine]

v2 pro is still better in specs

[trim pier]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/compare?skus=6384937,6384930,6502754

[vague pine]

it also has better battery if you arent using the 4k polling

its literally built better in every way

just a matter of what you want from a mouse

[trim pier]

honestly weight doesn’t matter in a mouse unless it’s too heavy or too light, cause your hand gets used to the weight and shifts it’s muscle memory for the sensitivity. the battery life, how light it is doesn’t really matter to me considering you could probably just plug the mouse in for wired gaming.

for your 4k polling, dunno what the heck that is, DPI there’s a 10k difference between the vipers and I have no clue how much of a difference you can really see with that.

i’m just saying I think the viper v2 would probably be a waste of money, I really don’t think a 4k polling and a 10k dpi could make such a huge impact between the two but I could be wrong of course 🤷‍♂️

[vague pine]

like i said, its a matter of what people want in a mouse and also even if weight doesnt matter to you, it does to some people and again

specs, regardless of weight

its still better than the viper ultimate

im starting to feel as though the reason why theres 3 dislikes on that deal is that people dont know the difference between the viper ultimate and viper v2 pro and who the mice is catered to

and if weight doesnt matter, there wouldnt have been such a big push for lightweight mice thats been going on for the past year and a half-2 years

[trim pier]

lightweight mouses are kinda getting to the point it’s your paying extra for less 💀

[vague pine]

same with phones

your point?

sorry im paying more for a well engineered product

[trim pier]

wdym with phones?

phones aren’t getting any lighter or heavier man 💀

[fair moon]

well yeah it takes more engineering/design to make lighter mice

[vague pine]

mans thinks it requires little to no knowledge on how to make a mouse

totally doesnt take time to make a shell, doesnt require resources to make the shell, doesnt take time to make switches, doesnt take time to design a scroll wheel

doesnt take time or knowledge on making a board for the mouse

doesnt take time at all or knowledge on making a mouse that isnt going to break the moment you touch it

doesnt take time to know how to make a good sensor

doesnt take time to know how to make your sensors and switches better than the ones you made before

[trim pier]

true but your just paying probably too much for it to be lighter by 20-30 grams, then again there’s a bit more features with its dpi or whatever. That’s not even 1/10th of a pound.

[vague pine]

i really dont understand your logic at all

if thats how we're going, then the 6900xt should cost $300 for consumers

[fair moon]

20-30 grams is a lot for a mouse btw

yes there are some diminishing gains of the cost/performance of premium products but that's normal

[trim pier]

ya, but I honestly don’t understand on really the lighter than light mouses.

[vague pine]

then why argue if your gonna agree on everything else 💀

[trim pier]

your practically throwing the best parts of a mouse into an egg shell.

[trim pier]

we’re talking about cost/performance, not viper vs viper..

[vague pine]

what the hell do you think super cars are made of? carbon fiber is pretty easy to break

[fair moon]

lighter mice are easier to move

quicker to accelerate/decelerate, less friction

less strain over time

[trim pier]

no brained but considering most mouses weigh what..? half a pound? maybe more or less?

brainer*

[vague pine]

this guy 💀

troll at this point

[trim pier]

i’m not even gonna argue anymore at this point, waste your money for same performance honestly.

unless it’s a visible difference via wired or wireless, but once again your choice.

[stoic crest]

with mice it's down to preference

that's basically all there is once you break $60 barrier

of course more expensive isn't always more better, but more expensive tends to give you more choice of what you could do to make the mouse fit your taste

[fleet marlin]

4k/8k polling is pretty gimicky. Many games have issues above 2k. I figure rvu is also close to wired DA weight. Suits me.

[stoic crest]

imo I would be willing to pay for better quality

modern mice are plenty good anyway

[grand orbit]

I mean that monitor price is okay but honestly when you can get ips 165hz 1440p for like 250$ I don't see the point in a high end 1080p monitor (coming from someone who only plays fps games) imo it would be a better advantage to have a larger screen as refresh rate over 144 really has diminishing returns

[short kindle]

27” Samsung G50a is $280 and is $250 regularly. Well worth it.

[azure pond]

X32 been cheap recently too

See it at $190-$230 often

[molten halo]

It’s really just for those valorant esport pros who purposely lower their res even more then 1080p for max gains

300 for 360hz is a pretty solid price even with the substantial diminishing returns personally I wouldn’t buy it but somebody looking for a deal on one might

[grand orbit]

thing is you dont need to lower rees cuz theyre so cpu bound kek

[grave delta]

huh, thought the 5500 was vermeer for some reason, it's cezanne

[candid comet]

yo

what case better

this bad boy with 4 fans already instaled

or

this one but i need to buy 4x fans that will most likely be p12

[candid comet]

the first case is cheaper

[candid comet]

this one is beter quality

[fleet marlin]

1st case also has not great airflow w/ the front design.

[azure pond]

I would look for something with a full mesh front if you can

[candid comet]

like this?

[grand orbit]

much better

[candid comet]

ok thanks

[candid comet]

this one is has mesh panel

and i can take of the metal part

oof

[grand orbit]

that one would work fine then

[candid comet]

and the usb are on the side

this case is the cheapest one but no fans included

so i will buy p12

4x

[candid comet]

easier cable managment

but no c usb

[quasi pasture]

god dang im tempted to buy more ram I found on ebay

@cinder kiln should i

[candid comet]

yo whats good psu for 3060ti and 5 5600

?

[grand orbit]

a 600w thats A or B tier on this list, c tier if nothing else is available for a good price https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[candid comet]

650 W

[grand orbit]

What i said above

At least 600w*

[candid comet]

o thanks

do i look at multi or singe rail?

[jolly inlet]

Single is fine

[jolly inlet]

Cheap option that would work (C tier) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xLtKHx/apevia-prestige-600-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-atx-rp600w

COOLERMASTER MWE White V2 700W?

or maybe CORSAIR CX Series CX750

[azure pond]

Second is OK iirc

[candid comet]

any more models?

the nzxt is good one

you can freely add 700W

what about this one

CORSAIR RM650x Series 650W

[candid comet]

almost same price like in usa

[jolly inlet]

RMx is one of the top models

[fleet marlin]

750 jumped $100 to 115. -- (still waiting for another crazy $50-60 deal like that ROG a while back, although big UV should let even a 3080 be ok on my A tier 650w).

[grave delta]

But maybe not

(I don't)

Lil bit of excel

Lil bit o wiggle

[jolly inlet]

If it's a pcpartpicker list for each tier I have that already

Interesting

Oh you were serious about it being for wegg then, the real wegg not the here wegg

That's super useful sounding

[grave delta]

That would be nice - or have it show a tool tip while browsing reddit/SD/other deal aggregators

[brittle lagoon]

Try checking if you could add notes like from here
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eL0893Ramlwk6E3s3uSvH1_juom7SMG5SCNzP2Uov8w/edit#gid=768908462

[fathom nebula]

So as you're searching, it'll show you a list of places with the same PSU for cheaper if any on the little pop up you can extend.

I could probably add those notes, will tinker with that later.

[brittle lagoon]

although the notes on the tier list itself probably covers most of that if not all

I just like working with spreadsheet

easier to just lookup stuff and copy

hey i need some help bro

some guy i selling 3060ti Vision for cheap price (in my area) 486$
they have only 1 avaible
i asked is it new or used, he said its used barely and he did beachmark and said it works as new

i asked is it mining he said i dont know but i know it wasn't minig in the shop

so you buys baraly used gpu and sells it ? if im not wrong

also i have a warranty on the card for 2 years

i dont know should i take the deal?

pls help

[elder ingot]

are you in the us?

here in the us you can find 3060ti's for 250-300, assuming youre from there

[candid comet]

no, im in bosnia

[naive wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/armija-bih-caco-10brdska-brigada-gif-24453062

[elder ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/bosnian-mode-bosnian-bosnia-gif-15907171

[naive wedge]

is there buyer protection?

in whatever site you're using?

[candid comet]

eh not really, but im buying it from shop

and there is warranty

[naive wedge]

hmm

if it's a good deal in your area

sure

[candid comet]

there is also other shop selling it for same price too. they said its NEW

[naive wedge]

same model?

[candid comet]

yes

[naive wedge]

if it is new

then probably get that

[candid comet]

but normal price for that gpu is like 810.46

idk

in my country

[naive wedge]

USD?

[candid comet]

ya

[grand orbit]

They're in Albania iirc and i believe that's the price converted ye

So that's a pretty good saving

[candid comet]

but i dont know how are they earning anything from selling that card for that low price bro

if i wanted to buy it frop america i need to pay shippin like 150$

idk

its kinda expencive

[grand orbit]

Well when you're selling used you have to sell for less but that is a big discount

[candid comet]

and risk?

but they are giving a 2 year warrany so i shount worry right?

shouldnt*

[grand orbit]

Uh unless it's a retailer they won't give a warranty

Sounds suspicious

[candid comet]

they are giving a 2 year warranty

and physical bill

"fizikalni racun" - how is it said in my language

is there any diffrence betwen kingston beast and kingston renegade?

[cinder kiln]

Just the heatsinks typically

So really the answer is aesthetics

[candid comet]

how do i know which one is better

[candid comet]

oh

[cinder kiln]

Usually the one without rgb is better but not for reasons that will apply to you

Both are fine

Whichever you fancy or whichever is cheaper

[candid comet]

oh okay thanks

[cinder kiln]

Np

[candid comet]

Yo

Is 8x2 gb 3600 cl17 good?

Ik 3200 cl 16 is same as 3600 cl 18

But i dont know about cl 17

[cinder kiln]

It'll be essentially the same

[grand orbit]

If going ryzen get the 3600 kit if it's a bit cheaper but on ryzen cl17 is cl18 unless you manually change it so the cheaper is the best choice

[candid comet]

Ok thanks

[tiny heron]

I know a lot of people hate on this cpu. But coming from a 3200g on my emulator pc this thing is a godsend for the price.

[grand orbit]

It's just a r5 3600 tbh

[steel wren]

sure its an upgrade, but extremely minor upgrade

not worth on my opinion

[grand orbit]

For like 20-30$ extra the 5600 is a big upgrade

[tiny heron]

For playing ps2 and wii u emulators? 😂

Right

[steel wren]

your money pal

we only gave you our opinion

[tiny heron]

For the purpose it serves a 5600 would have almost no difference though. Why waste the extra money

[steel wren]

to inject a lil more life to that pc?

also for the same purpose it serves.... why bother a very minor upgrade? just save that money

[tiny heron]

It got rid of the micro stuttering and now my frames are pretty solid.

[tiny heron]

Jumping 50-70 more frames in some games is not a minor upgrade imo. Yes I could squeeze an extra 10-20 with a 5600. But for $40 more atm. Not worth it for its purpose.

[steel wren]

yeah i thought about more uses, but if yours are met, then you are right.

best gaming headsets for less 30$?

is for a gift...

with good sound and mic 😄

[light bay]

I don't think anything in that range will come with both a great mic and sound. Would reccomend pushing for the hyperx cloud ii at $50 (couple places still have that sale) if going $20 over the budget works

Because <$30 is typically just really cheap headsets that don't have great mics, comfort, or sound

My reccomendation is also assuming you live in usa

As your market really would dictate choices and prices otherwise

Typically cloud ii, mh751/mh752 are the good budget options

[grand orbit]

Hyperx stinger? I think is what they're called, are decent from what I've heard

[mortal blaze]

one time i bought A10 in 19.99

new, but was a hypermega deal

so, i go to look if some appear

is good for me only mic too!

suggest?

[mortal blaze]

is just watch pages and deals...
openbox wireless 29$

not bad

but, for 5 $ i prefer buy new

[brittle lagoon]

This is good for 30$
https://www.amazon.com/Koss-GMR-545-AIR-Headphones-Detachable-Microphones/dp/B0759XHKQK

[stoic crest]

that z590 mobo is a bad deal tbh

11th gen old platform

[azure pond]

Yeah, the only people that should be buying that is if their current mobo broke and they want to keep their current cpu, even if someone buys a used 10th/11th gen cpu I'd imagine they'd be buying a used mobo too, considering they'd likely be on a very low budget

[shut lava]

Its also Gigabyte, so if you are in the US your chance of good RMA support(if you need it) is greatly decreased.

Also make sure it's the pst. I accidentally got the non-pst & didn't save any more. No big deal. Great fans though. Set 1100-1300rpm & no buzz.

The 5600 and 12400f are the same price and a good bit better

13100 is cheaper and better

[light bay]

I'd even take this over that 10600k https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vrhmP6/intel-core-i5-10400f-29-ghz-6-core-processor-bx8070110400f

$104 2tb ssd???

[fair moon]

$104 2TB *nvme ssd

Can't believe just a few years ago I was spending 100-125 on 1tb sata ssds

[daring depot]

I've still got a 9600kf, hasnt failed on me yet...maybe

[pulsar fable]

And the low end pcie4 drives go as low as $110 for 2tb (p41 plus and nv2)

[light bay]

And that's even if you classify nv2 as a gen 4, which idk if that's very reasonable anymore

[azure pond]

[grand orbit]

Lol

They used more pritt stick this time

[pallid geyser]

I’ll take it

only if it’s Pato’s

[pulsar fable]

Does it need a pato sticker on it or something?

[fleet marlin]

Plenty 3070 under 400 on Ebay of various brands, & a chance for more than 1yr warranty.

[grand orbit]

How far under tho? Plus how many from known retailer at that price which is main advantage

[azure pond]

It's also refurbished vs just used

Likely cleaner

That ram from silicon power is still in stock

5600c40 for $117 still

[fleet marlin]

Not tough to find a good seller/card & just an option if we don't want a refurb gigglebite even if it's from a big retailer. 350 days left on my evga warranty, lol.

[grand orbit]

They're getting pretty close in price

[fleet marlin]

Evga/asus service > NE

[stoic crest]

user damaged mobo? baah, new mobo, here you go

[grand orbit]

@fleet marlin they are close in price tho 380$ refurb vs $360, $355, $370 lol

[fleet marlin]

Still so hung up on the price(s) when I mention under 400.

Must have been an error wtf

[cinder kiln]

AAAAAAA

the sound you make when you miss a deal

[molten halo]

A buddy of mine managed to grab one before it got removed, we’ll see if they honor it.

[grand orbit]

That's insane

Even if you sold the parts alone

Actually enough money on the gpu alone

[shut lava]

I ordered early and got a tracking number. I told a few friends about it, they placed orders, after that it was sold out. Then the link went dead.

[molten halo]

Huge hopefully you both get one

[shut lava]

It seems that orders before 3 PM eastern got tracking numbers.

[grand orbit]

No freaking way that's promising

[shut lava]

I didn't know it, but they had both 13700K and 13900K systems up on the site around 12:37 PM east coast time for a little more than the AMD system

[molten halo]

Dude someone is excellent at misspelling $4000

[grand orbit]

I mean on the numpad 4 is right above 1

[shut lava]

That site had other desktop PCs on clearance for 50-70% off this weekend.

[cinder kiln]

jesus were they folding?

[shut lava]

Their financial news doesn't look good.

Conn’s Inc. plummeted after the home-goods retailer withdrew its full-year guidance and said Chief Executive Officer Chandra Holt has stepped down effective immediately.
The seller of furniture and home appliances sank as much as 23% on Tuesday to the lowest since May 2020 after it said in a statement that the macroeconomic headwinds that have hurt consumer spending are “disproportionately” impacting year-over-year sales in some of its businesses. Conn’s expects third-quarter revenue to drop 21% to 23% and operating margin to be in the negative mid-single-digits range.

Net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2022 was $24.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to net income for the three months ended October 31, 2021 of $18.2 million, or $0.60 per diluted share.

[pallid geyser]

Hmm

That’s..definitely sketchy

Hopefully you get the right thing

Keep us in the loop

[loud sandal]

Oh man

I missed out

[shut lava]

I almost missed out. I was going to do some cleaning this afternoon, but decided to check discord first. People who ordered not long after me didn't get a tracking number.

[loud sandal]

🤔

[quasi pasture]

dang that is tempting lol

[stoic crest]

[quasi pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-gif-25421939

[fleet marlin]

Tempting even if a nonK (13400F) goes in. Hey, what discount?

Which cpu(s) you putting in? The temptation is strong. I want that $13 off, lol. Anyways, this the value winner? 12400(F) now seems not quite worth the $40ish savings. --- cpu is from Georgia though, more wait

Good setups. Actually, I wonder if I should do 12400(T) again for $140-150 on Ebay. Perhaps not, partly because I'm tired of later reselling to "upgrade" or w/e. -- I don't want Win11 though.

[quasi pasture]

I could buy that z690 board if i didnt buy the extreme11 LMAO
