[high radish]

in gaming yes. In workload no

[fiery zephyr]

13, 600k is baller for the price, once compooper overclocked his it blew my 5900x out of the water in alot of things

[brisk sphinx]

How much does a 13900k go for on HWS?

Out of curiosity

[fiery zephyr]

So close

16 days till I'm 16

💀💀

[brisk sphinx]

Oh so only really $100 less than what I paid

I’ll take it

[fiery zephyr]

We love forks chips 😭

Atleast my 5900x wasn't that bad 😭

Yeah

(It's also a board killer)

Or did you find out what the issue was

Yeah lol

Hopefully everything goes well

[quasi radish]

Rejects by forks are a true reject experience

[fiery zephyr]

So true

[marsh sphinx]

Asking for used parts in here , a problem?

Sure

I'm looking for b550m asrock , or I5 10400th gen with h410 mb

I'm not EU or US based

So preferred these sites world wide shipping

Currently in the Middle East

Oman to be precise , sadly vast amount of electronic devices aren't allowed to enter Oman via Emirates (Aka Dubai!) , else wise Amazon UAE would do it

It's the only option I have for now , most of items low/free shipping

Which suits my budget

[quasi pasture]

is your CPU uber garbage or something

[fiery zephyr]

Not completely garbanzo

I could do better than Felix's

4.85 all core was my limit tho

[quasi pasture]

maybe felix just has skill issues

[fiery zephyr]

Real

[molten urchin]

Ok questions

[azure pond]

Ask away

[molten urchin]

Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT Liquid CPU Cooler with this ca. I plug the 3 pins on the Aio-pump or cpu opt?

Or it doesn't matter?

[molten urchin]

I'm confuse for one of the 2

[molten urchin]

BROOO I DIDNT REALIZE THIS CARE WAS GOING TO BE THIS HUGE!!

And this case broo I got it a couple of months!

[warm thicket]

You would want to plug the fan header cable coming out of the AIO's CPU block into the AIO-PUMP header.

[grand orbit]

It's a standard size case, the tiny dell/hp machines you see and are probably used to, don't have a gpu and don't really provide any airflow

[molten urchin]

It's a corsair 4000D

Air flow :/

[grand orbit]

Yeah i could tell it's standard size

[molten urchin]

And I got it a couple of months ago

-_-

[light holly]

I remember when I got my 4000D. It was huge to me. Now I look at it and I'm like.. there's no room!

[molten urchin]

Right

Ok sooo

@grand orbit I finish building it and now turn it and it turn but no screen display .

[light holly]

Do you have the DP cable plugged into the GPU or the Motherboard?

[molten urchin]

Gpu

And I plug in the 6 pins only on the gpu

[light holly]

6 pins? Those are 8pin plugs

[molten urchin]

Soo these?

Connect that 3-4 pin on to that convertor?

@light holly

Like all together ?

[light holly]

Like that, but you gotta align that 2-pin so it's flush with the 6-pin.

But you also have to plug another 6+2 (the connector we are talking about) into the other plug that's coming out of the GPU.

[molten urchin]

Ah okay

[light holly]

There are little notches on the 2-pin and 6-pin, if you look close, you'll see that they fit together like a puzzle piece.

[molten urchin]

Soo this one to the other Pin connector right? Both of them too?

Like this? @light holly

[quasi radish]

Not ideal but it’ll work

[light holly]

Yeah, I do recommend making sure that 6+2 is flush though. I personally would use a separate 6+2 cable for the other GPU plug.

[quasi radish]

Ideally you want to use two separate chains

[molten urchin]

Like this?

@quasi radish

[quasi radish]

Uh no

You need the +2 section plugged in

[molten urchin]

Ooohh ok

[azure pond]

im still looking at my p360a thinking its huge lol

[umbral horizon]

has anyone had any problems with the TForce Vulcan SSD

[azure pond]

it's likely worse than other drives at similar prices

how much is it and what country are you in?

[umbral horizon]

$25/512gb USA

[azure pond]

do you have an nvme slot available?

if so https://pcpartpicker.com/product/94gQzy/silicon-power-p34a60-512-gb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp512gbp34a60m28

[umbral horizon]

oh lovely

[azure pond]

or if you can spend $15 more https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7tCFf7/silicon-power-a60-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp001tbp34a60m28

[umbral horizon]

i was looking for an OS backup incase of any crash

[azure pond]

ah ok

yeah if you have an nvme slot either of those would be a good bit better

[umbral horizon]

roger roger

[azure pond]

and more reliable

[umbral horizon]

ty

[azure pond]

yeah ofc, np

[molten urchin]

@quasi radish it works now thank you!

Ok now I need to spend more money now to get another Case but got this one couple of months soo lol

Okay soo I just update my bios

But of a problem

[light holly]

How come?

[molten urchin]

Soo now everytime when I remove a ram or part it work but when it needs to restart same issue

[light holly]

I don't understand. Can you elaborate more what the issue is?

What issue are you having?

[molten urchin]

Ok soo after the bios update. I'm not getting anything on display but it turns on

But if I remove a stick of work it fix it the issue but when I want to restart it. Same issue.

[trim pier]

@azure pond imo that case is kinda of a rip off of the lian li 205 mesh type c, but more fans and better for spacing ig

still an amazing case for builds if you wanna find a good case for a budget build really, front ports lacking but idm, though I wish top was a 280

[stoic crest]

205 looks diff tho

[trim pier]

only 2 fans and uhhh

less wider I guess you could say? it doesn't hold 140's I believe

oh! and apparently it doesn't come with front fans.

[stoic crest]

yeah

i love how fine the mesh looks on the new g300a also

[trim pier]

if i was a 360 front, 140 exhaust, 280 aio support up top, and had a bigger width with an extra front io port then it'd be so great

[trim pier]

it does look nice, very slick

[stoic crest]

it's almost like it's a solid panel

but you still get airflow

[trim pier]

I think it looks like that at first

cause it doesn't have rgb on

but I could be wrong

would that mean it's daisy chained or fan hub though

considering it's just ONE fan.

[brittle lagoon]

g360a

360 front 360 top

[trim pier]

ik ik but I don't like the front ig

[brittle lagoon]

g300a is just improved p300a

[trim pier]

kinda going with the lian li 205 mesh type c design ig

minimialistic, rectangular box like and so on

but otherwise it's a great case, should of gotten it tbh

[molten urchin]

Ok soo clearly I keep getting the orange light of death

Everything is connected nothing loost and still no post

I'm gonna try it again tomorrow and disamble and reconnect it

Idk or check if the cpu pins are bent

Like it work once in the blue moon but every time i restart samething and swapping the ram

[grand orbit]

Make sure you use 2 seperate cables from the power supply, daisy chaining is not good

[fiery zephyr]

I daisy chain 2 cable's to 1 connector🗿

[molten urchin]

Sooo you saying I can do 2 pci connector on the gpu converter?

What does Daisy chain means @fiery zephyr

[grand orbit]

Basically using 1 cable from the psu that splits into 2 in your case

But you want to use 2 seperate cables from the psu

[molten urchin]

In which I did. Same problem but now it act like it doesn't want to work but it does so I remove a stick of ram and idk if it resolve the issue.

Unless I just got back go Win10 idk

I keep powering down reconnecting the stick and powering on and works but if I restarting same issue

The orange light like there is something else.

Either it's the Rams I have I guess due to the CL

[fiery zephyr]

I took two from the psu and converted it into one🗿

[grand orbit]

Confusion

[grand orbit]

Try just reseating things

[fiery zephyr]

Plug the end with 2 8pins into the psu

Joking

[molten urchin]

hmm it have to be the rams but i'm gonna clean with Alchohol and air spray the slots

[grand orbit]

no need for that

wouldnt reccomend

[molten urchin]

Well I just remove the 2 stick of ram which kinda resolve the problem

No need for 4 stick inwhich kinda causes the whole issue I think

[quasi pasture]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/125937136885? @quasi radish you know what to do

[fiery zephyr]

YOOO

[quasi pasture]

I want it for ddr3 OC out of curiosity

might actually prove interesting

but i dont have a spare 250 to spend on an x79 board

[jolly inlet]

That liquid cooler is the best I've seen on Intel LGA1700

[grand orbit]

It's very noice

[raw inlet]

Should I get a r7 1700 (used) for 30€ to replace a 2400g?

[pulsar fable]

I can't say for certain whether or not that's a good decision because I don't know the current state of the PC market in europe

[azure pond]

what's the gpu being used

The 2400g actually has a better single core than the 1700 apparently

1700 nearly twice as good multi core

[raw inlet]

1060 6gb, but just to know if it's worth getting it in case I need it for a cheap build in the future

[jolly inlet]

That's what happens with twice as many cores 🙃

[azure pond]

oh thought it was 2 more, that makes sense lol

[jolly inlet]

Yeah 2400g is 4c8t

[quasi pasture]

definitely not

[quasi radish]

Yes

The APUs suck in many ways, and the 1700 is still a minor upgrade for games

[grand orbit]

@jolly inlet kill embed smh my head

[jolly inlet]

I was don't worry. I had to force quit mobile first so I could edit <> around the link.

[gusty willow]

is the game that bad they can barley give it away for free

this is the third time its been free

[jolly inlet]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that lol

No it's actually a really fun, if old, game

[jolly inlet]

You know it took more effort for you to type this than it would take to remove the embed yourself

[grand orbit]

I'm on mobile so I couldn't

[jolly inlet]

Ah fair enough

Mobile strikes again

[daring depot]

Wasn't death stranding free not too long ago?

Or did I just waste...idk 5 bucks on something that could've been free

[jolly inlet]

It's been free a couple times now yeah

[pulsar fable]

It was free during Christmas time I think

Why not

[umbral horizon]

$110

[quasi pasture]

[fiery zephyr]

Woww

Me when z690steel legend costs 10 more (joking keep doing what you enjoy lol)

[quasi pasture]

This board has a lot more features

[fiery zephyr]

So much sata💀

[quasi pasture]

SAS 3

Only 6 or 8 are sata iirc

[molten urchin]

Okk soo

update

Soo i got it work and i know what was the problem

Soo clearly when i put in the other two stick of ram for Dual Channel it had problem trying to read the ram due to the orange light

Soo i remove the last 2 rams on it for Single channel and works fine

but i really think that the Rams i have are 2 different brand and teh CL which cause teh whole problem

i have the G.skil RigJaw and the other Flare but 2 different CL

so i'm trying to figure it out on how to get both them to work on Both CL so figuring that out.

maybe it could be the Bio update that cause it.

[stable robin]

is 680 for a 4070 ti a good deal?, i feel that its still too high a price

[gusty river]

Is that a good deal for the current market value? Yes, it is

If you want to get into whether the market value should be that high is a whole other conversation

[marsh sphinx]

it's barely faster in RT anyway. 3090 makes far more sense imho, although $800 is pretty steep

[fiery zephyr]

3090 3090 3090 3090

SHUT YO GOOFY DOOFY BALLER ASS UP

You and alex are fr gonna bully me into 6950xt

RAHH

Me when 6950xt and 5900x for 1440p csgo

[jolly inlet]

Say what you want that 6950 would CRUSH csgo. Low driver overhead go brrrrrrrr

[fiery zephyr]

Im kidding but yeah it really would haha

[shut lava]

I always laugh about CS:GO framerate junkies. Unless you are a top 1% pro CS:GO player, FPS in CS:GO won't make a difference for most people. No matter how many FPS they have their lack of reflexes and skill will hold them back.

[fiery zephyr]

Im complete ass at cs

[quasi pasture]

You're probably worse than 98% of people here at csgo ngl

[fiery zephyr]

Oh I def am

[pulsar hazel]

ah, so you bought that listing that was listed as an extreme4 with the picture for an extreme11

[brisk sphinx]

Buy one fat ass

[brisk sphinx]

6950xt and 13900k for 1440p CSGO>

[fiery zephyr]

Ok 13900k is a bit much

I think my 5900x is enough...

[daring depot]

yeah for csgo of all things

[jolly inlet]

Noooooo 600 fps isn't enoooooough

[daring depot]

ITS A 13900K

[brisk sphinx]

Nahhhh it ain’t enough

I need to upgrade already, my 13900k is too slow

[jolly inlet]

KS time

[brisk sphinx]

Can a KS do better than 6.2 GHz all core on an AIO?

Because if so, say less

[stoic crest]

it's honestly down to binning

sometimes you can have trash bin KS

[brisk sphinx]

Aren’t KS chips supposed to be like god bins?

[stoic crest]

Not always

[jolly inlet]

Yeah their binning process is mostly "what can run these slightly higher clocks at lower voltages", not what can clock the highest

[stoic crest]

^

[brisk sphinx]

Ahh ok

[jolly inlet]

I've seen a garbage IMC on a KS also, so sad. It could barely get 7200 no matter what.

[brisk sphinx]

my 13900k already can’t get higher than 6800

But that’s 64Gb

[jolly inlet]

Well yeah that'll do it lol

I'm talking a single stick

[brisk sphinx]

Single stick couldn’t get over 7200?

Damn that’s sad

[tawdry dragon]

I'll leave with my 1.5k fps in minecraft

[forest prairie]

[high radish]

And there's lots of 7000mbps for 120$

[stoic crest]

you meant mb/s?

mbps usually implies megabit

Mb/s yeah

[forest prairie]

You can't just do that

https://tenor.com/view/doggo-boop-gif-22290017

[marsh sphinx]

it is megabits though

mbps is perfectly acceptable and accurate

[grand orbit]

Pretty sure they advertise in megabytes no?

[marsh sphinx]

no

2 bits per clock for ddr, 7000Mb/s would be DDR 23000mhz lol

bits, not bytes

[grand orbit]

Oh my b though they did for some reason

[brittle lagoon]

they were talking about storage

it's mb/s

[grand orbit]

I'm aware of ram but though they had MB/s in advertising

Oh yeah it is MB/S yeah

Just looked it up they use caps

[marsh sphinx]

oh my bad. I saw 7000mbps and immediately thought they were talking about ddr5

sorry lol

[brittle lagoon]

ye 7000mb/s common gen 4 high end drive r/w speed

[grand orbit]

Saying ram speed in mbps is just confusing imo use mhz or mts

[light holly]

Nono, it needs to be measured in rams

[marsh sphinx]

mhz isn't accurate unless you halve it, and mt/s is stupid because data rate is what is actually relevant. the number of transfers happening per second is far less relevant

[light holly]

https://tenor.com/view/sheep-gif-4520105

[grand orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/rams-charge-jump-gif-14672264

[marsh sphinx]

one hundred gigarams per terasheep

[grand orbit]

Eh latencies can take care of that and especially since they're advertised in mhz*2 using that is fine even though technically it's wrong

[marsh sphinx]

sure it's fine, everyone understands what it means, but if you want to be "correct" I stand by mbps being superior to mt/s, and both being actually true whereas mhz is just marketing

ultimately all that matters is that you're communicating an idea. any measurement suffices

[quasi pasture]

My ddr3 do 3400mhz

[barren gyro]

?

[fiery zephyr]

It doesn't even fit on my screen

[barren gyro]

oh lmao sorry ye the ebay links go crazy 🗿

oh ye cheers

lol sry

[fiery zephyr]

Lets go

Free 4090s for everyone

[forest prairie]

I will

[marsh sphinx]

worst case scenario it runs a bit warm and loud, but ampere undervolts like a dream, so you can pretty easily fix that for the most part. 280 quid for a 3070 ti is really solid imo

also looks to be an ex mining card, so likely very well taken care of. I'd snag it if you don't mind the 8 gigs of vram ;) (which tbf is far less of an issue at sub $300)

[barren gyro]

okay ty :)

[stoic crest]

That deal is good but, referral slipped in there is kinda greedy isn't it

But eh, it's free money so I guess it's not bad

[fair moon]

I don't mind it as long as people don't try and spam deals hoping for referrals

[quasi radish]

It’s probably a referral from another server

[jolly inlet]

Referral links like that have been ruled as fine previously, as long as the referral is in the link. Ones that you have to go out of your way to enter were ruled as not acceptable. Why? Don't ask me.

[stoic crest]

That's unusual

[fair moon]

@kind rover just delete that power supply bro

[kind rover]

no, I accept my shame

[jolly inlet]

Normally I'd say avoid the mech 2x 6700/6750 but at that price... as long as you've got direct airflow to the gpu it'll be ok

[brisk sphinx]

…what makes a PSU PCie 5.0 ready?

[jolly inlet]

It would have the 12VHPWR connector probably, used by only the nvidia 40 series so far.

There's a whole new spec that needs to be met for true ATX 3.0 certification so I don't know if any exist yet with that badge, but there's plenty of units with the connector.

[trim pier]

@grand orbit it’s a good deal but it’s not 165 hz

i’ve seen some monitors from like acer or hp being cheaper or around same price with the extra 21 hz but they just 💨💨💨 on the market

[grand orbit]

not as good colours and the diff isnt noticeable

[trim pier]

true, and tbh nobody really cares about the colors unless they’re doing like something artistic or have an ick and like high quality movies .

[grand orbit]

nah, IPS is visually better than VA in everything but blacks

[trim pier]

ya. https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-vg27bq-90lm04z0-b013b0-27/p/N82E16824236991?Item=N82E16824236991&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-24-236-991-_-05232023

also idk if that would be a good monitor.

[grand orbit]

def not thats TN

[forest prairie]

Even my 2006 or something Fullscreen monitor was something like IPS or VA

[trim pier]

ew wtf

that's TN?

oh EW. tbh I do like how the monitor is built but otherwise disgusting

[forest prairie]

Replace the panel with one that's IPS

[shut spoke]

I was excited to try out the IGZO panel but it’s discontinued now unfortunately for monoprice

[azure pond]

@tawdry dragon https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-7600x-ryzen-5-7000-series/p/N82E16819113770? and that's still meh

$210 after the promo

[cinder kiln]

Would be a lot more enticing if it was the non-x

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-7600/p/N82E16819113787 when the stock cooler stonks is worth the $5

[tawdry dragon]

It'd be less enticing, to me at least

https://www.microcenter.com/product/662008/Ryzen_5_7600_Raphael_AM5_38GHz_6-Core_Boxed_Processor_-_Wraith_Stealth_Cooler_Included (better deal on the non-x)

[cinder kiln]

If you can find a micro center sure, worth the $5 less

Even the X3D stuff on zen 4 run fine with the stock cooler lol

[tawdry dragon]

I think most people would be getting an aftermarket cooler anyways on most cpus

unless you're trying to save every dollar

[cinder kiln]

Which is half the point of the 7600 so yes you would be trying to save

Especially with the next gen adoption difference, that stock cooler is difference between ddr4 and ddr5 between the platforms

[tawdry dragon]

I think there's still a point in getting the 7600x over the 7600, because it's more of a performance uplift compared to what the 5600x is to the 5600

[cinder kiln]

Nope

You can unlock a 7600 and it becomes a 7600x

Similarly you can lock a 7600x and it becomes a 7600

One has a cooler and one doesn't

[tawdry dragon]

You can still oc the 7600x

[cinder kiln]

You can oc both

[tawdry dragon]

I know that

[cinder kiln]

The difference is 100MHz which translates to 1% or less performance difference

[tawdry dragon]

Fair enough

I retract my statement

[cinder kiln]

I mean I don't blame you for thinking that way, marketing and social engineering go a long way in the tech space

But yeah, the difference is basically placebo + $15-$20 extra in a cooler which is some 10% extra spent for maybe 1% more

If this was like a 7950X or 7900X I'd be swayed to a dual tower instead

But the non-X all run on stock coolers (even 7900) and X3D can get away with a stock cooler too

It's Zen 4's stupid IHS at work

Thick as hell so heat transfer is terrible

The chips feel way heavier than the 12th/13th ones cos it's a block of copper alloy over the top lol

[tawdry dragon]

I haven't been paying much attention to pc parts since the release of the 4090, so I haven't really been caught up with all the new pc parts and their differences. So I apologize for my obliviousness.

[high radish]

7600x hits 95c with 360aio lol

[cinder kiln]

@high radish

[tawdry dragon]

I though ryzen 7000 was zen 5 💀

[high radish]

yeah so this makes whole product sux lol

[cinder kiln]

I ain't upset man, I aim to educate 💀 you're fine don't worry about it

(I say educate jokingly)

[brisk sphinx]

Lol, still more knowledgeable than me most likely, last gen of PC parts I know somewhat well is around middle of 30 series and 6000 series

[high radish]

non x versions looks like they have better power draw and thermal mass

still not got one to test

[tawdry dragon]

That's when I started helping tons of people with pc build lists and getting familiar with all the pc parts possible lol

around 6-8 months ago iirc

wait I'm dumb

[cinder kiln]

If you set your 7600x to eco mode it runs much the same as the 7600 just a slightly higher limit

It's just bad thermal transfer, there are both good and bad things about that IHS

For one you can technically run windows on a 7600 without a cooler

Lmao

[tawdry dragon]

But why would you want to?

[cinder kiln]

But the cpu's popping and dying have everything to do with the poor thermal transfer of the zen 4 ihs

[cinder kiln]

In the event someone is stupid enough to try it, it won't die lol

[tawdry dragon]

stupid proof

[cinder kiln]

Ye

[high radish]

honestly its not just ihs . design itself is sus . they put smd comtonents on top and made cpu smaller but smaller surface area also reason to bad thermal transfer

those caps under ihs is very bad placed

[cinder kiln]

If the Zen 4 IHS was better then those dead Ryzen 7000's wouldn't have inflated like popcorn and killed their mobos

[cinder kiln]

Nah it's just the thickness

Think thermal pads and thermal paste, efficacy drops significantly the further away the heatsink is to the heat source, the IHS is just a big copper spacer

When the transfer isn't great, all energy will take the path of least resistance

[high radish]

when I see that cpu design first time I was like man this cpu looks like gonna have thermal issues lol

[cinder kiln]

i.e not enough heat moved via ihs>heat goes into substrate

Etc etc

Cpu pops

Hi

[high radish]

just building 7950x with asus x670 prime mobo

I hope it will not blow lol

[cinder kiln]

I saw

Lol

I can't bother to bite

[cinder kiln]

Try to avoid b650 primes if you're building PC's

The lower end asus primes are literal ewaste

[high radish]

actually avoiding any b650 mobo lol

[cinder kiln]

B650 is fine

B650 prime isn't

X670 is just two b650's slapped together

[high radish]

wait theres good x670 mobo for sale and I forgot to share

[azure pond]

don't b650s tend to have better vrms than x670s

[cinder kiln]

Yes, some b650's also have better traces and eclk

It depends by model but most zen 4 boards are fine besides the obvious like asus prime, biostar (more of just a never touch it ever) or the crosshair hero etc

Wait that board is showing 260

Some a620's are cringe too like hdv

[high radish]

i using asus prime mobos alot becouse I like their design theyre easy to build , most things are well placed

[tawdry dragon]

It's 20% off, not $20 off

[high radish]

its 20% off. not 20$

[cinder kiln]

Ah my bad

Rare for % off* not $ lol

[tawdry dragon]

20% off is a lot

[high radish]

yeah if you use referall youll get extra 20$ so that mobo for 204$ is great

on mobile orders ofc

[tawdry dragon]

this is a pretty decent deal I think https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-12700KF-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B09FXKHN7M/

[high radish]

I ordered couple of newegg combos so I dont bother with standalone intel cpu now lol

[tawdry dragon]

I'd get the microcenter combo, but I don't have a microcenter under 1k miles away from me

[high radish]

microcenter sux lol

[tawdry dragon]

Best deal ever https://www.newegg.com/a6-7th-gen-amd-a6-7400k/p/N82E16819113370?Item=9SIASGMGAG6964 (joke)

[high radish]

theres few MC around me but I dont feel like I have to leave my works and drive 2 hours to get pc parts lol

after gas prices and sales taxes it becomes same price as other retails

[tawdry dragon]

can you send a link on where to find newegg mobo combo deals?

[high radish]

hmm theres easy way actually

oh heres some semi decent combo https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4547347

[high radish]

search for something , go to filters , useful links , combo deals

[tawdry dragon]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006465/intel-core-i7-12700k,-msi-z690-a-pro-wifi-ddr4,-gskill-ripjaws-v-16gb-ddr4-3200-kit,-computer-build-bundle better deal at micro center imo

though the newegg one is ddr5

[high radish]

yeah MC usually having better combos

but I hate to pay sales tax

[azure pond]

there's sales tax online too...?

[high radish]

not in my state

[tawdry dragon]

In my state it's 9% sales tax for everything

Except food iirc

[high radish]

my state don't have sales tax

[tawdry dragon]

I was planning on asking my cousin to get a combo deal from micro center for me and just ship it over

[high radish]

heres some combos I got

[tawdry dragon]

sheesh

Pretty good deal right there

For some reason I really want to build a new pc, even when I have no need to and I need money for other things

[tawdry dragon]

That's a deal that not enough of a deal to make me want it

Are you in the business of building and selling pc's by chance?

[high radish]

I building Pc's and shipping them to overseas lol

not only PC but also personal shop. a lot of people around the world , especially in middle east and eastern europe loves shopping from US

[jolly inlet]

cough cough https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006461/intel-core-i7-13700k,-asus-z790-p-prime-wifi-ddr5,-gskill-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-combo

[tawdry dragon]

Over $100 more?

[high radish]

yeah been looking for this one for long but still MC sux

thats good combo tho

13700k is solid cpu

[jolly inlet]

Very. Beats the 12900k in everything.

[tawdry dragon]

Oh shoot I didn't realize it was 13700k instead of the 12700k

And z790 as well

[high radish]

cant find my orders now but I bought few 12700k + z690 mobo for 320$

[tawdry dragon]

How much of a markup do you put on it?

I'm looking of doing something similar, except just in the us while I have summer break

So I can make a bit of extra spending money

[high radish]

thats main reason I living in Delaware lol . its tax free state and theres tons of cargo forwarder companies around

[high radish]

mostly like 250$ at the end per pc

[tawdry dragon]

I've been trying to sell a pc on facebook for the past month and a half and I haven't been able to get it to sell

[high radish]

middle east people are rich lol

[tawdry dragon]

I'm selling more of a budget pc

i3 9100f and 6600

I might just get a $40 i5 and list that as one of the selling points

Or just list it on Jawa or something similar so more people see it

[high radish]

in most countries , shopping from us is actually comes cheaper than local repailers

[tawdry dragon]

I know that

[high radish]

they paying extra for my service , shipping , customs fee and stuff and it still comes cheaper than retail prices there lol

[tawdry dragon]

The market there is horribly overpriced, but what are you gonna do about it ig.

[high radish]

all I can do is offer service and get paid lol in the end both side being happy lol

[tawdry dragon]

Fair enough

[high radish]

also they loves US fashion brands that dont exist there lol fancy girls loves shopping US brands I go and shopping from outlets for them

[tawdry dragon]

I mean it's free money

I might try selling things overseas as well, but the problem is that I have to get shipping materials

Which I have no idea where to get

[high radish]

Most cargo forward companies located in Delaware . You have to look up for those forward companies to see where you can forward your goods so you can find customers from that country

[tawdry dragon]

county

[high radish]

*country lol

[tawdry dragon]

Lol

I live in the pacific northwest where not many cargo companies are, and I'm more inland so that makes it even harder

[high radish]

I love living in US honestly. There's a lot of work and business opportunities winning greencard was big W in my life lol

[tawdry dragon]

also not sure how good this is but it's a deal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TLYWMYW?

Pretty sure it's not the best deal

[brisk sphinx]

That’s not terrible imo

[high radish]

I mean 2tb ssd prices are more decent now

I would go for 2tb instead

[tawdry dragon]

I'm still young so I'm not sure what career path to take yet, but I can work in a place where I can do what I love doing.

[high radish]

I'm 27 now and I came to US when I was 19 and I only had enough money for live here for 2-3 months now I have almost everything I wanted. I have good work , well business etc its not easy to leave everything behind and move to country that located overseas but if there's always price you have to pay lol

[tawdry dragon]

Alright, good for you man

[high radish]

idk what to think about that i5 13500 13400f were 165$ at amazon recently and 12700kf is for 235$

[azure pond]

recently yes, but not now

[cinder kiln]

13500 would be good for a cad build

Or render/edit

[azure pond]

multi core comparisons

single core

[cinder kiln]

You know what not even light

[forest prairie]

I too build computers for the Canadian dollar

[cinder kiln]

How many Canadians have you captured so far

[jolly inlet]

Just shy of a 12700k, multi and single

[forest prairie]

I don't capture, I catch and release

[azure pond]

imo not worth $35 extra and the extra heat for the 12700k

[forest prairie]

Canadians need to be free and in the wild

[jolly inlet]

Not unless you're overclocking yeah

[cinder kiln]

Ah yes, good for environment

[forest prairie]

[trim pier]

haha imagine not living near a microcenter

if you buy their current 349.99 12700k + mobo + 16gb of ram combo, you can upgrade to the 13600k for free or for 14$ (depending on if they charge total price on the cpu)

[pulsar fable]

Welp, it may be time to shove more money at micro center

[light holly]

1tb mp33 is a good deal at $36.99 right?

[jolly inlet]

Yeah

[pallid geyser]

Insane to think around this time last year the 1tb mp33 was still like $80-100

[tiny heron]

Fine I'll buy another mp33 1tb

[cinder kiln]

Nvm pcpp didn't update

[fiery zephyr]

Oh my

[cinder kiln]

Pretty good

[kind rover]

bro for the game i need to install the cpu i dont have my mobo yet...

[jolly inlet]

Yeah AMD makes you install a program that scans your hardware to check if you actually installed the CPU and didn't just resell it to get a free game

[high radish]

That arctic have 18$ shipping yoo

[trim pier]

you might aswell buy B stock..

I wanna buy a 280 but like I don't really need it for my 13600k considering it never reaches above 20% usage..

[jolly inlet]

Yeah that's when I bought it. No regrets. Even though it only fits in a few specific cases, mine not included 🙃

That recall did a number on their prices. It won't get that low again.

[quasi pasture]

Same, I bought mine for benching, though now it's in my daily temporarily

[flat junco]

For the Liquid Freezer II 420

[quasi pasture]

yea i use his for benching lmao

[jolly inlet]

I've got mixed feelings on that Dell monitor. Sure you can consider it $100 after the gift card but that basically locks you into buying another $100+ item off the Dell shop later.

[light bay]

Yeah

[pallid geyser]

True, but you could use it for a ssd

[jolly inlet]

They sell SSDs on dell.com?

Oh no they do. And they're $80 for a white label 256GB.

These are the worst priced SSDs I've seen in years

[light bay]

they sell samsungs, they arent the best price but still

[jolly inlet]

$75 for a 1TB SATA drive
Literally more than a 2TB MP33

This is where Dell is still getting value out of that "deal". You either buy something else that's a good deal but also expensive, or you buy something that's marked up 2x.

[light bay]

you can get a $90 1tb 980 pro

not the best value but still decent enough

[fair moon]

also might be good to note that 280 is the 'OC refresh rate'

native res is 1080p 240hz

probably not a noticeable difference for anyone buying that monitor though

Also Dell accounts are free and get you 5% 6% back in rewards

[torpid night]

even cheaper if you’re a student. they give a somewhat generous student discount

[brittle lagoon]

@lofty moss Titanfall 2 is a wonderful game, but it's EA.

[lofty moss]

very true

very sad

[trim pier]

like the game is pretty much dead and from what i last heard, game is still broken/buggy

it’s like buying a game of call of duty ultimate edition after 20 other versions came out

simply not worth my 3$ 😭

[worthy reef]

i think its multiplayer is dead

[lofty moss]

was dead

it went on sale so people are actually playing it now

you are paying 3 dollars to experience titanfall 2 for the last time

experience it for the first time and last time, at least, for most people who are buying it

heads up on that discord nitro deal. you cannot claim if you have been a nitro member in the last 12 months.

but it does say you can send the link to a friend to claim

[daring depot]

Darn I was just about to ask that

[fringe olive]

Any recommendations for a prebuilt pc (for a friend far away that does not want to build) primarily for gaming around 1350 usd?

[trim pier]

I mean with a budget like that in the current market you could build a good ass pc rn

[stoic crest]

Which country?

1350 bucks still allows for a decent prebuilt

Assuming it's the US

[cinder kiln]

how far away are they from you?

[fringe olive]

US and they live 2 states away.

[fringe olive]

US

[stoic crest]

https://nzxt.com/product/player-one-prime @fringe olive

This so far seems to be the best I can gather

There's others that fits right at the budget, but their quality is.. questionble

Yeyian, unknown brand and skytech who's known to have some issues

[daring depot]

Can I ask what's wrong with that Sabrent deal?

[stoic crest]

There's now better drives

The rocket is one of the earlier gen 4 drives

But now others have come out with better gen 4 drives priced the same, if not cheaper

Even P41 Plus now beats it

A dramless qlc drive

P41 Plus is only $75 for 2tb too

Okay, not outright beat it. But again P44 Pro exists

[heavy swallow]

Anyone know if this is worth it? https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/victus-by-hp-15l-gaming-desktop-tg02-0366qd-bundle-pc?jumpid=ma_hp-gaming_product-tile_desktops_4_33t61aa_victus-by-hp-15l-gam

[stoic crest]

No, you could get better elsewhere

This prebuilt is full of proprietary parts

There's $900 3060 lenovo legion as far as I remembered seeing today

Yeyian is a bit sus tho

[grand orbit]

if not, theres this https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-arch4-0556-w-ne/p/3D5-000Z-000X1?Item=9SIA08CJSB5617

oh is it?

[stoic crest]

There's some reviews from newegg customers that said they had their rig come with no fan cables connected

[grand orbit]

ah okay

[stoic crest]

Support team from yeyian helped them nicely, but still

Not that optimal for someone in the market for a prebuilt

[heavy swallow]

@stoic crest okay thanks. I’m just not good with building so I’ll buy a pre-build. Not sure where to look I’m a noob with this stuff.

[grand orbit]

id probably get the skytech one i linked then

[stoic crest]

Pato gave you a link to the best one

Tho arguably best buy has a legion 5 tower with 5800+3060

Instead of an ssd only setup, it has 256gb ssd with 1tb hdd

It's about $899

[heavy swallow]

Can I have the link?

Oh I see now. Is it good even though it has only 9 reviews? @grand orbit

[grand orbit]

out of stock sadly

[stoic crest]

rip

And yes, Skytech is decently reputable enough

[grand orbit]

yeah, user reviews on these kinda things are never really worth much credit

[heavy swallow]

@grand orbit is there a way to tell how long it’s on sale for? I don’t get paid until next Thursday.

[grand orbit]

nope, things change price all the time though so there will probably be a decent option even if that specific one increases in price

[stoic crest]

Come back to us again once you're about to pull the trigger

@grand orbit do you think running (Fortnite or Overwatch)+Obs+Spotify. Will it be able to handle all this at once?

Both aren't super hard to run, and you'll probably be running them on lower settings for maximum frames anyway

[shut lava]

@fathom nebula Is that NR200 deal counting the same rebate twice? The two rebate forms have the same rebate number.

[grand orbit]

looks fine to me

[shut lava]

Both rebate forms linked on Amazon have the exact same rebate number.

On both: "enter the promotion number 95078 to register online for your rebate"

[grand orbit]

well they say 59 after rebate so even if it didnt amazon would honour it if you sent a pic of that tbh

[shut lava]

With the price of SFX power supplies, the HYTE Revolt 3 with the 750W PSU included that is on sale now for $70 off might be the better deal.

[grand orbit]

you can stick atx in the nr200 i believe

[shut lava]

Doesn't the ATX PSU bracket for the NR200 cause clearance issues with graphics cards?

The bracket specs say max 260mm GPU length, but I didn't see that there are 2 positions.

Longer GPU in other position I guess

I found a good way to cool a 3090 or two.

[grand orbit]

very practical

[shut lava]

I was thinking of doing a SFF build with a 280mm radiator. I'm just looking at options now.

would probably not recommend using this case though 💀

copege

[grand orbit]

meshilicious is bae

indood

best itx case imo

ssupd that is

[shut lava]

From a price standpoint, the HYTE Revolt 3 with the 750W PSU costs less than the meshilicious and the riser cable. Any downsides to going with the Revolt 3 over the meshilicious?

The revolt includes the PSU and can do a 280mm rad

Well I just bought a lot of drives

Even if they’re “only” single 6TB drives, not the worst deal ever.

[pulsar fable]

Yeah the most "Price/GB" on PCPartPicker is still 100 for 8 tb

So 80 for 6tb is bad but far from the worst I've seen

[jolly inlet]

You know if it's listed as a 20 pack and you only get 1 Amazon will refund 95% of the price when you complain

[fair moon]

I figured they'd make me return it for a refund

[fiery zephyr]

They simp for prime members

[fair moon]

ah

[cinder kiln]

Doesn't it depend on what the retailer wants

I've had times where amazon said "Keep it" but more often I'm asked to send it back

[jolly inlet]

It's determined by the value of the item and the seller's policy

[cinder kiln]

I mean a single 6tb drive that is still nice

[jolly inlet]

In this case the drive would be $4 (80/20) so they'll probably say keep it

[cinder kiln]

But also weirdge

Within the same screen there is already another 2tb nvme for only 75

there shouldn't really be any variation except for low, mid, and high end

it's just a storage device 😂

970 evo plus is a good drive just not for that price

980 pro and 990 pro are also good drives (if you ignore the firmware issue)

[quasi radish]

me when I got a bunch of 970 EVO Plus for free

[grand orbit]

Well duh

[quasi radish]

they're good drives if you ignore the whole data loss issue

that doesn't make for a good drive lmao

[grand orbit]

Yeah exactly think it's fixed now tho

[quasi radish]

supposedly yeah

still won't touch them because of their reputation

the SN850X and P41 Plat are much better drives

[grand orbit]

Oh hell no

But would i tell people to through them away no

[quasi radish]

yeah fair - I wouldn't tell someone to get rid of their drives

[grand orbit]

If it was a really good deal I'd also consider it

Assuming the firmware has fixed

[jolly inlet]

Except for the part where if your drive bricks itself they don't honor the warranty, since it reads as you exceeded the TBW rating

Bruhh

Basically their response is "we don't know if you killed it with chia mining or if it was our fault so we're just going to deny it"

[quasi pasture]

Yea those are a couple examples about 1 type of hardware

I just mean as a general trend when it comes to samsung hardware

[grave delta]

On the plus side, we get 990 pros for 140 because everyone is scared to buy them. Just need to flash firmware

Sad to see the ssd reliability king botch the recent stuff

[jolly inlet]

@azure pond I'm not seeing that monitor for $400, it might have been an error and got corrected

p44 pro is 10 cheaper tho 😎

[grave delta]

Do those have the same EID64 issue p31's have?

[grand orbit]

What was the issue with the p31?

Never heard of eid64

[grave delta]

EUI64*

All the drives have the same eui64, minor annoyance for some use cases

Mainly esxi, there's a workaround, but yeah

[grand orbit]

Never heard of those either tbh

Had 4 in a bifurcated riser

[grand orbit]

Ohhh interesting

[quasi radish]

guess what

it's a known issue, and there's already a kernel patch for it

Wonder why VMware hasn't ported that patch to whatever *nix variant they're using

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/nvme/host/pci.c

honestly this should be a "don't buy" list for ESXi drives, anything with BOGUS_NID and/or IGNORE_DEV_SUBNQN is likely to be problematic on ESXi

[trim pier]

why is there things that say “supports 4k uhd”

kinda like TVs, where it says 4k but it’s reality 1080p?

[jolly inlet]

Because it can receive a 4k signal

[trim pier]

ah

[jolly inlet]

Much like some HDR monitors can accept a HDR signal but don't meet any kind of HDR certification

You can buy lunch with that

Wow what a discount! I knew Intel was serious about competing!

[daring depot]

ik right! I might consider buying the latest cpu!!!

5$ off just shows how far they are into their 14th gen processors!

[quick stump]

Is this a good deal for 700 euros? (Ignore the Finnish)

[jolly inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-no-definitely-not-gif-10506241

That's worth 400 max, assuming a weak local market. That's a 5 year old system that probably cost 800 new.

[quick stump]

Thanks

[kind rover]

for the LG 27GR95QE-B I find it odd they would use matte if it has low brightness...

since the target use would be in a darkroom

[fiery zephyr]

It's 200nits with a peak of 1000 in hdr

[trim pier]

😭

no way you guys think it's an actual good deal

[lofty moss]

Think of all the different combinations of coffee you could buy with the money you saved

Technically it's a deal xD

5$ that's like an easy 300g chocolate not insignificant 😤

[cinder kiln]

what if you can't eat chocolate

Well luckily they give you the savings in cash not chocolate so you can choose what to spend it on

This guy trying to get as many referral link clicks he can?

[grand orbit]

Referrals are allowed in links and it's probably a ref link from the wegg site or something

[cinder kiln]

as long as the deal is good

[light holly]

I thought a referral here and there was fine, but it all looks like it's the same referral source

All his links are the same

[grand orbit]

That's the only one that had a ref from them that i can see

[light holly]

3/4 of his links are to him lol

But eh. I thought it was stated somewhere to not do that, but I suppose I'm wrong.

[grand orbit]

Can't find it but i think someone else like rombert said as long as it's good deal it's fine

[jolly inlet]

Too bad we're almost out of 6950 XT cards. They've been that price for a while, but we're down to the last few models in stock.

Hopefully that means AMD is going to launch a new GPU at that performance class and price soon.

2 things, if you live near an MC you can get it there for what newegg is listing for w/o shipping + you can use a 25$ coupon if you create and submit a build on their website.

and the 2nd thing is, mesh panel better than glass panel right?

even with air cooling?

alr alr

cause I don't really wanna buy an aio for the north itself

i wonder if they'll sell the panels separately

ah also forks

mesh only comes with the fan hub for powering

glass doesn't.

just gotta lyk if you didn't lol

👍

aghh that glass panel is so tempting though

but I wanna base the design off a fiery orange with RGB

cause I kinda image it looking like a fire place from the front

what's the cheapest wireless mouse with programable side buttons?

[stoic crest]

How many buttons do you want?

[light holly]

This is a solid cheap mouse with rgb customizability. Has onboard profiles that you can alter with the software. You can also change how heavy it is to an extent. I have had 2 of these mice in the last 10 years and I loved using both of them very much. Super comfy in hand and solid build. Never had a single issue with either of them. (Had to get second one because I lost first one in a breakup).

No reviews on that monitor besides customer reviews, so it's a gamble but... at that price for those features it's a decent gamble.

[grand orbit]

Also based of the x32 and x27q they have a decent track record

For that price

It's worth
