youre overpaying 250$ for nothing 😭

[hoary lodge]

Looks :P

[earnest storm]

youre overpaying 200$ then

[hoary lodge]

circle panels not my favorite AIOs too

[earnest storm]

youre still paying 200$ for nothing

[hoary lodge]

[thin bolt]

Yeah @hoary lodge that’s a reallllllly bad move

[hoary lodge]

Hey man, if I could have a vibrant GIF playing on a AIO that looks good and performs well, especially the gif and good looking part, u got me sold, the price doesn't bother me

[earnest storm]

you can get that for 200$ less

[hoary lodge]

the one you recommended kinda looked ugly imo no offense

[thin bolt]

You can get that for $200 less

i put in ones that were?

oh im

thinkning backwards

[hoary lodge]

if there aren't any I can buy the lian li reversed ones no prob

[earnest storm]

no

ew

why do you like wasting money on nothing

actually worse than nothing

[hoary lodge]

bc it looks good

[earnest storm]

and it performs terribly

I got an even better waste of money for ya https://a.co/d/i1YTMzu

[earnest storm]

oled

for something you wont look at

why

[uncut plume]

Tryx at least has slightly better performance than other top models and innovated something with their wrap around screens rather than just being a rog tax.

[tawdry dragon]

Why not

It's the best performing, best looking, best specced aio for those who have money to burn

[fair moon]

Wouldn't the thicc artic rads be higher performance?

[hoary lodge]

Call me strange, but those types of AIOs don't rlly catch my eyes

dis good?

thoughts anyone

[earnest storm]

eh

12gb gpu

not great

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gqVG3R could get this for double the storage and a better gpu, and much better ram

[uncut plume]

I'd just get a 5070 prebuilt instead if you can't find a real 9070 or 9070xt in your price range.

[earnest storm]

also that looks sketch, doesnt list the vast majority of the specific specs

[uncut plume]

Is that ram meant to be $530 or did the price just change?

[earnest storm]

530 for the ram and the ssd

Middle of nowhere

[high radish]

Tax free and business friendly state at least

[thin bolt]

Have it shipped to me, I’ll ship it to you, I’m in PA

[high radish]

Lol

I would if I needed it necessarily but I think I can catch something else tho

[balmy lake]

Why can’t they ship to Delaware?

[torpid night]

What is a delaware

I think it is a song sung by Perry Como

[balmy lake]

I’ll do you one better: WHY is a Delaware?

[thin bolt]

Where is a Delaware?

[balmy lake]

Up and to the right

[high radish]

Idk I seen it couple of times on woot lately

Maybe they don't like tax free states? I seen someone having same problem in Oregon too

[cursive sage]

At least it’s not New Jersey

[earnest storm]

True

[opal flume]

Yeah, thanks for the 29.5% APR on my credit cards

[sick spade]

Issue is Mexican market. It is what it is, I got mine 25% cheaper than what Amazon and other local vendors wanted for it.

[delicate lake]

Order it to your us address

[uncut plume]

Sold out now. I think I would have gotten one and side graded from a 7900xtx if I could get the nicest model like that for $650. Might have even made a little money on the deal.

[delicate lake]

I doubt you use rt but if you do it would actually be an upgrade believe it or not

[uncut plume]

I'd probably use it in cyberpunk. The native fsr 4 support with fp8 would be good too.

[delicate lake]

The engineers clearly thought so too

But ms su does not

[mortal blaze]

@cursive sage include original box? AOC monitor

[cursive sage]

well, it is refurbished but i would think so

this is a little bit more than a third of the price it's selling for normally

[mortal blaze]

MSI refurbished by Starpartner include originally box and sealed

[hoary lodge]

which is better, 120mm or 140mm

fans

🌚

[delicate lake]

If your case can take 140s then get 140s

You can run them at lower rpm or move more air at the same rpm

when comparing a good 120 vs good 140

[hoary lodge]

Is this a good deal? https://computers.woot.com/offers/belkin-connect-usb-c-6-in-1-core-gan-dock-1

For a MacBook user this seems insanely good price and performance

[fair moon]

Overall seems nice. Would be cool if the other usb ports were > 7.5W

Yeah she doesn’t really need power from most ports since it’ll be like wireless usb dongles or flash drives.

[bold willow]

welp that got me like 100 karma on reddit

yay

[hoary lodge]

what are some other things to bling up my pc besides a RGB GPU holder from ASUS & lian li RGB PSU power strips

[bold willow]

RGB fans if that’s what you’re going for. There’s also RGB diffused strips / pipes you can put in your pc.

[hoary lodge]

mb, forgot to mention I got RGB fans alr, but RGB pipes? oooo

[shut lava]

Not really a Deal, but Newegg still has the Lightning in stock. MSI's online store and BestBuy sold out already. https://www.newegg.com/msi-rtx-5090-32g-lightning-z-geforce-rtx-5090-32gb-graphics/p/N82E16814137999

[latent stone]

5090 for 5090

im dead

the newegg weekend doorbuster 9850x3d how much yalll think its gonna discount

[shut lava]

I never understood the 1 stick of RAM Microcenter bundles. All of the testing I've seen shows decreased performance when running a single stick of DDR5. Some of the game benchmarks show about 20% lower FPS with a single stick vs two sticks of the same RAM capacity. So you are negating much of the performance benefit the X3D CPU gives you. #tech-deals message

[acoustic trout]

It’s mostly about pricing I’d assume. Those are the budget options and an additional stick is basically the price of the whole bundle

[fringe olive]

Even more so with AI eating all the ram

[uncut plume]

You can get the 7600x3d bundle, swap the ram to the 2x16 crucial and it comes out to $470.

[fair moon]

the performance hit isn't as bad as it is with ddr4. It's not ideal but ram is crazy expensive rn. 8gb sticks of ddr5 also SUCK so having 1x16 is honestly probably preferable to 2x8

[uncut plume]

It's still worse than 2x8, but 1x16 is better for ease of upgrading.

[shut lava]

You might want to read that again. Microcenter said the 32GB RAM upgrade is only for bundles that already have 32GB of RAM included. "Upgrade to Corsair RGB 32GB for $50 More. Only available with 32GB 3-in-1 combos"

[shut lava]

20% isn't bad?

[fair moon]

Is it really 20%?

[shut lava]

Yes its 20% in many games according to multiple benchmarks that I've seen.

[uncut plume]

Go to the page with the bundle lists, click on build with it, click on change on the ram part. Should apply the correct pricing and put the crucial kit at $200 without changing the combo price of the CPU or board.

Worked last night for me.

And crucial isn't the ram upgrade they have, it's the default cheap one in the higher end bundles with 32gb.

[shut lava]

The "Build with It" doesn't show up as an option for the 7500X3D Bundle at any of the three microcenter locations within 2 hours of me.

[uncut plume]

76

[fair moon]

I was under the impression ddr5 saw 10-15% hit when gaming from single channel while ddr4 saw 20-30% but I don't recall where I saw those numbers

[uncut plume]

It'll depend a lot on specific games used. And that's always an up to. If you're fully GPU limited anyway it could make no difference.

[shut lava]

Most of what I've seen is single channel DDR5 is a 15-20% performance hit at 1080p and 1440. People looking for the lowest priced bundle aren't likely to be playing at 4K and GPU limited with their 5090 and high refresh OLED.

[uncut plume]

I understand the 4k part but why would them having a halo tier GPU make them more likely to be GPU limited?
The realistic situation of it not mattering is entry level 1440 with a mainstream to midrange GPU.

[shut lava]

That's my point, they won't be GPU limited

[uncut plume]

Or a couch gamer on a 4k TV who doesn't care about >60 anyway.

I'm not saying getting a suboptimal ram situation is good. I would say it's not always going to affect everyone by some set amount.

[delicate lake]

plus x3d mitigating it even further

since it is single channel i guess you could cope more by increasing frequency and tightening timings lmao

[uncut plume]

You can't go much past 6000 without having to change the fclk ratio down.

[shut lava]

The tests I saw comparing single stick vs dual stick of the same capacity were on X3D CPUs. They saw a 15-20% reduction in FPS in many games at 1080p and 1440p.

You can only limit the RAM so much before even an X3D CPU shows a drop in performance.

[delicate lake]

true

[uncut plume]

2x8 vs 1x16? Do you have a link?

[shut lava]

I didn't bookmark it but I'll search for it later tonight. It was 1x32 vs 2x16. The 2x8 might be awful because at least some of the 8GB DDR5 sticks have low bandwidth and some other issues.

There were also some extreme outliers that had a larger than 20% difference.

[uncut plume]

That seems like an odd test. Who would actually buy a 1x32?
There are cases for 2x8 sucking, each stick only has a 1x32bit bus instead of 2x32 bit like a 16gb+ stick, and 4x8 you can run into the 2dpc frequency problems. That seems more realistic though and something a person on a budget might actually end up deciding between.

2x8 vs 1x16 they are both getting kneecapped in different ways.

[shut lava]

I think they did 1x32 just as an equal comparison because the 8GB sticks have bandwidth issues. So it was the most equal test you can do to eliminate the other factors.

I can do a 2x16 and 1x32 DDR5 6000 CAS 30 test here with the RAM I currently have.

[uncut plume]

2x8 and 1x16 both have half the max theoretical bandwidth. 2x32bit for each. 2x16 would have full bandwidth and 1x32 would have half but it's dual rank so you get a small boost from that.

2x16 vs 1x32 it's obvious what'll happen. 2x16 is running like intended and 1x32 is hopping on one leg. That's not a very interesting test imo.

[shut lava]

Going back to the original point the 1x16 in the bundle hinders the gaming performance vs the 2x16 kits that microcenter offers in slightly more expensive bundles. Microcenter doesn't offer a 2x16 bundle upgrade for a reasonable price for that 7500X3D bundle. Its $225 at Microcenter for another 16GB stick of the same RAM. So I don't think its worth buying the 1x16 bundle. You are better off saving some more money and getting a 2x16 bundle because some of the 2x16 bundles cost less than what microcenter charges to add another 16GB stick of the same RAM.

For $50 more than adding the second 16GB stick, you can get the 7800X3D bundle with a better motherboard.

[ashen rune]

gonna try and get a 9850x3d with the doorbuster deal tmrw, I also need a mobo though, any idea if the discount will apply to their bundles? or should I get it separately

[uncut plume]

You can swap it out on the 7600x3d one.

You just have to do it manually.

That's another one of the gen 4 b850s but that's not that big of a deal and the b850 tuf plus is +$30 for an upgrade.

[shut lava]

True, however you can't swap it out with the 7500X3D bundle that was posted. That makes it less of a deal.

The 7500X3D bundle has the MSI B850M-VC Pro WiFi so the standard B650E-E TUF Gaming WiFi is a significant upgrade.

It was the 7500X3D bundle that was posted as a deal originally and its that bundle that I had concerns about it being a deal.

[uncut plume]

I agree that one wasn't very compelling.

[bold willow]

I'm really debating if to get another monitor or not.

Especially that 1440p 27" one

[thin bolt]

The monitor I have in my pcpp list(in bio) has worked fantastic for me for being so cheap. Even has decent hdr

[bold willow]

I have a 1440p 27” oled

But I do a ton of coding and homework

I also don’t think I could fit two monitors on my desk

It would probably be another impulse buy

[sonic grail]

Thanks for the ping @cursive sage ahh I'm super tempted but I think Imma wait for one with adjustable stand actually. Really hoping one from AOC like 165 hz ips can go down to $120-$130 ish 🙏

thank you for pointing out

[earnest storm]

oh actually can i ask you for help with smth

i need to see how much my systems will fetch

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KRbrZc im gonna sell this, how much would it sell for? keeping keyboard/mouse/headset
also the monitors ill sell seperately, how much for them?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v3RGXf and also this pc

pictures of them if that changes anything, i did go pretty heavy on looks for the main one

im HOPING for ~2k for the main pc, 700 for monitors, 650 for second pc

[high radish]

yeah limit is 2

[cloud hornet]

I mean knowing actual HDR quality isnt smth CS would know. They'd only know the BS marketing, stuff like those "HDR" ips/va displays lol. Typically you'd want a decent reviewer for that like Monitor Unboxed or RTINGs

[thin bolt]

I just asked how to turn it on
A little confusing out the box

[high radish]

I'm not exppert in US market but yeah roughly 1.7k-2k for main one can sell (depends of marketplace on your area) . second one I roughly think it's like 500-700 range

[earnest storm]

dont we live in the same state 😭

[high radish]

Delaware gang

[earnest storm]

yeah

ok that makes sense, what about the monitors

[high radish]

I think you can get like 450-500$ from oled and 100 -120 for each others ?

[earnest storm]

100-120 each or total? im guessing each

[high radish]

each

[earnest storm]

hmmm alr thanks

now i just gotta find what laptop to get lmao

[high radish]

lol . I mean you kinda may need go little under what you expected because marketplace is full of lowballers

[earnest storm]

fine with me

[fair moon]

I'd guess probably 120 for the 1440p LG, 85 for the 1080p Samsung, 400 for the dell oled

[earnest storm]

400????

no way

[fair moon]

the dell is availble new rn for 500

[earnest storm]

its almost new

[fair moon]

and there are (lower hz) oleds new for under 400

[earnest storm]

it went down 😭

[high radish]

thought same but it's 360hz so I think its worth 450

[fair moon]

maybe if the $500 sale ends

[high radish]

yeah I recently bought 240hz oled for 350$ from amazon tho . but it's not all time sales

[fallen idol]

which one?

[fallen idol]

Ohhh

Congrats

is that your first oled? or nah

[high radish]

no I have G9 oled as well

[delicate lake]

Oh yeah the price on this is crazy

I think earlier it was 380 and went down to 360

[shut lava]

I thought that CPU was always $199.99, its just never in stock. The discount price is a fake discount since its been $199.99 for months. #tech-deals message

[uncut plume]

Why downvoting that? I know the market sucks currently but $180 is like 25% off the going rate for a decent 2tb.

@gilded zodiac is it possible to get Newegg to ship refurbished hardware outside of the US, for example Mexico.

[gilded zodiac]

@foggy coral Can we do that?

[foggy coral]

checking

[sick spade]

I personally really liked buying the refurb AM5 cpus when I was in the US but now that I am based in MX for a while, I currently don't have access to those refurb parts

[foggy coral]

https://www.newegg.com/global/mx-en/p/pl?d=refurbished

Depends... unfortunately, we ship only the refurb accessories and fans of CPUs, not the refurb CPUs themselves

[sick spade]

Oh, are the refurb cpus from a separate vendor and Newegg is just a POS for them?

[foggy coral]

The link I sent you will include both us as the shipper and other Marketplace sellers as alternative shippers

[sick spade]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16819113771T?Item=N82E16819113771T

take this for example

I bought 1 when i was in alaska

but it does not ship to mx it seems

[foggy coral]

Yeah, this one is not available within our Mexico portal.

[sick spade]

Is there a reason for this?

Seems odd to limit your target market.

[foggy coral]

Sales rate & demand. Our Product Teams allow if they know if people will actually buy it and how often

[sick spade]

Isn't it just a matter of adding the additional import cost upon the customer and using a courier that ships international? Because it isn't saving Newegg money to not have that option for the cunsumer.

[foggy coral]

Yes, but also they care about the demand, which is how many customers in Mexico would want to buy a refreshed CPU.

I can ask if they can temporarily open it in the portal. It's just a request, not a guarantee.

[sick spade]

I appreciate that. I will submit a request when I am able to order.

AliExpress heatsink and mini blower fans

I have a plain lil heatsink model on my sn850. It's more a help during sustained writes, rather than simple ssd reads

[tawdry dragon]

The problem is that Mine idles at 60C

Gets up to 80C under regular load

From startup it's 50c on a cold machine

[fleet marlin]

Oh I see, deffo try some heatsink on it for sure. A lil airflow afterwards is even better

[tawdry dragon]

I have the default mobo heatsink. But it's not doing nearly enough

No room for airflow due to case layout

Yea mobo heatsinks are more like big heat spreader & stuff

Might flip the CPU cooler so it's pointing up and giving a little airflow to the sdd

buy a 3rd party heatsink

and maybe invest in more/better fans

here you go btw

Akko/Monsgeek/VPSO

These are all confirmed to be using the same PCB.

They have a reported latency of almost 30ms, which is insanely high, and higher than even the cheapest mechanical boards
If talking about Akko’s v4/YOTD/Santorini: "Roar Mode" enables 8k but only for wasd, and everything else is stuck at 125hz (aka the same as bluetooth), and if you're not in "Roar Mode" wasd is 1k, and everything else is 250hz (just checked and it appears the numbers haven't changed, and screenshot attached from eyejoker (https://eyejokerdb.com/benchmarks/keyboard).
On top of that, there's basically no updates, Akko support doesn't exactly have a shining reputation, they're missing features iirc (like SOCD)
Stuck with bad Outemu family HE switches that are rattly and leave you with a lack of options (<5) for aftermarket switches.

[fair moon]

I have one and it does have socd/snaptap/whatever they call it

Personal experiences DO NOT EQUAL reliable data/evidence.
This is what we call an Anecdote in research. Anecdotes can be mildly useful if you're considering a specific item in tech, and you want to do a little more research on it for things you may want to expect for your own experience with the product. However, these reported personal experiences are not logical to use as a means of displaying research, evidence, or data when trying to make a factual point about said product, mainly used as a means to vaguely call a product good or bad. Reliable data and evidence comes from extensive reviews, controlled testing, and aggregated user feedback over time. When making an objective assessment, prioritize verifiable research over isolated personal accounts

People done research on these boards for a longgggggggg tme now

[fair moon]

Ok so yes but also no. I have the exact model (fun60) and it has socd

They also advertise it

As for the latency (this is anecdotal) I haven't noticed any issues. I have the height set to 0.25mm which is far less than even a "speed" style mechanical switch

Kailh speed silvers are 1.1 +- 0.4mm and cherry speed silvers are 1.2mm

I'm assuming (and hoping) that's a typo on kailhs part and it's supposed to be +- 0.04mm

[kindred portal]

👍

[fair moon]

The fun60 pro literally has a web app/driver and socd so I don't know if the review is outdated or what

If windows lock is turning off the win key I'm pretty sure it has that

And auto calibration is included in the app iirc

Maybe the X is a "yes"?

I don't think it can be though, because it does not have a palm rest but does have angle adjustment and led

Any problems getting refurbished oleds?

Obviously Bluetooth isn't great but the board comes with a 2.4g dongle so you'd always be using that or a wire

This 30ms claim honestly smells like BS.

They do lose a little brightness over time as they're used. Just depends how hard and long it was used for though

Should I get this? I’ve only had budget IPS monitors my life

Just check for burn in when you get it

The best way to check is those grey screens right

Oh it is one of them at least

Yes. Im not expecting desktop performance.

Dang nice deal

[agile saffron]

Would yall say 165 for a Kraken 360 a good deal? Sealed

[ashen rune]

assuming you mean elite 360 and not core, then definitely, I don't think there is another name brand with a custom lcd screen anywhere near that price

[agile saffron]

Indeed the elite

[uncut plume]

I'd probably just get a thermalright instead.

[ashen rune]

i mean if you're only looking at price to performance sure, but i dont know the budget or aesthetics or anything, so if the question is "is this a good deal" hard to say no

[brittle lagoon]

I'd still say no, aesthetics wise it's not much different from one of the thermalright aios with an LCD screen at around $70 new, and performance wise the kraken is going to be worse unless they updated the pump since it released

Brand name wise, well, NZXT is the company that tried to charge something like 200% interest on rentals

[earnest storm]

no\

you can get a brand new thermalright one for 50$

[agile saffron]

Yee I looked at sum other aios w a lcd screen

Thermalright grand vision is prolly my best choice

what will you be using the laptop for

School

But I need it to last

[slow cove]

yeah itll be fine

more than fine

in fact you could play minecraft on the side

if possible though, upgrade to 16gb of ram

How much is it?

14" but that actually looks better with a 1920x1200 than 15.6 does.

[slow cove]

thats pretty good

[uncut plume]

Better battery life and graphics too.

I'd really avoid 8gb ram on windows if possible

even if its just for school?

[delicate lake]

Yeah they increased its l3 cache too

Which is why it has 96 mb

And not 80

Because the 5500 has 16

So they gave it another 16, like the 5600, and then the vcache block

Pretty cool

I thought the 5500X3Ds were faulty 5700X3Ds

[fair moon]

Oh maybe idk

Because I know the 5600X3Ds were chips that failed to meet 5800X3D specs, which is why they were so limited

Any good, possibly tech deal?

[uncut plume]

It's ok. You can get the 256v version pretty cheap, $530 new at microcenter and best buy should price match that afaik. They also have the 226v version refurb for 400 on their eBay store. Unless you care about multi core for something those should just be better. It's still an aspire though so you're getting what you pay for, mediocre screen and lowest bidder plastic throughout.

[stoic crest]

adding onto this, most oleds also have very low pwm modulation frequency

so those with sensitive eyes can be negatively affected by it

If you want something higher end a crucial 710 is cheaper than the sn850x.

[delicate lake]

dam... 4 tb ud90 is qlc

[stoic crest]

qlc for 4tb is sad

[uncut plume]

Other than maybe the g50 I'd expect they all are. The vp4300 lite used to be pretty good for hmb but has had revisions crappifying it too.

[fair moon]

Qlc is honestly fine for a non OS drive

And yeah finding a non qlc 4tb m.2 is probably gonna be difficult

[uncut plume]

I'd also be fine using one for a games drive or similar if I was getting a good enough discount.

[delicate lake]

yeah g50 is tlc

[fair moon]

"best buy has some insane sales"

Proceeds to link 4tb drive that has been "marked down" from $1700 to $600

💀

[stoic crest]

i got a tlc dramless 3.0 drive for games and storage and it's honestly pretty nice

granted it's 1tb but still

[delicate lake]

the g50 has a decently large cache size but it is super slow once exhausted

[stoic crest]

fancy ssds aren't really necessary unless like you really need the sustained speeds

[delicate lake]

slower than sata

but the cache is very large which is good enough for basically everybody

[stoic crest]

i even boot off a dramless drive

it's.. been written a heck ton tho

last i checked it was already 80% on its life

after about 3 years of use

[fair moon]

Dramless NVMe is aight because of HBM, as long as the drive is otherwise decent quality

Dramless sata however...

[delicate lake]

good hbm implementations have more or less killed the need for dram for the 99% of people

[stoic crest]

my boot drive is a micron 2400

it's qlc

hence the life decreasing somewhat quickly

speeds though? i have no issues

but the write life is definitely shorter than a tlc drive

[uncut plume]

I'm using sn850x but I paid about half that much a few years ago. And $100 for a second 2tb one. I've also used hmb boot drives with no issues or feeling like it's holding anything back, samsung 980, sn570, patriot p400 lite (was free in a bundle).

[delicate lake]

each bit added to the cells exponentially increases the damage dealt to them

[stoic crest]

yeah

plus it's also only 500 gigs so yeah..

[delicate lake]

over

[stoic crest]

that adds salt to the wound lmao

i expect about 3-4 more years outta this thing before it starts going read only

the tlc? still chilling at 99% after 3 years or so of use for games and storage

[neat obsidian]

If you can show me a good deal on a 4TB SSD then I'm all ears, but all you guys have done so far is tell me that that's a ridiculous price and give me nothing

[delicate lake]

slc cells can do up to 100,000 program/erase cycles on their own, tlc only being able to do a few thousand on their own

[fair moon]

Get the UD90 if it's not gonna be an OS drive

[neat obsidian]

Came for help, but I've never been able to just get help with building my PC. Everything I do or think is wrong and people are so quick and happy to inform me of that and not actually give any kind of guidance 😭

[stoic crest]

can you kindly explain to us what you do with your pc?

[uncut plume]

[fair moon]

Actually someone did give you guidance and you dunked on them

[delicate lake]

you probably chose the worst time to build man ima be real with you

not even trying to get under your skin or anything

if you can wait it is better to wait

[neat obsidian]

Here's a fun reread for you

#tech-deals-discussion message

[uncut plume]

That's why my first question for you was 'what's it for?' if you don't need it to be a great drive you can go cheaper.

[fair moon]

Might find better pricing on 2tb

[stoic crest]

just saying though

[neat obsidian]

The PC is already built, I just want more storage. That's it. Maybe a GPU upgrade in the next couple months, but I'm still making my mind up on that

[stoic crest]

a "shitty" ssd can be a decent drive depending on your use

[neat obsidian]

Gaming mainly, animations secondarily

[stoic crest]

i have bought a wd green sata 120gb like 6 years ago, used as a boot drive

it's still going to this day

[fair moon]

Heck I still have 2tb of sata ssds for games and can't tell the difference between those and my high end nvmes

[neat obsidian]

I just don't want to have to get another, third drive later. Feels like a headache. C, D, F

[fair moon]

I have 4

5 if you count the external

[neat obsidian]

A little cheaper, I wish best buy wasn't completely out of stock. I prefer to buy through them

[neat obsidian]

You're better than me, I'm lazy and easily agitated

5 drives on one PC, jesus

[fair moon]

I mean it's really not hard when launchers do all the file management for you. But if you're limited on m.2 slots then maybe going for the 4tb is worth it

[uncut plume]

If you want a 2tb the crucial p510 is about $250 on amazon. For a cheap 4tb I'd probably look at the g50 for a little over $400. I don't see anything particularly compelling on best buy. If you are going in store they do price matching with some places though.

[fair moon]

There's a klevv cras c910 4tb for $500 which at least according to techpowerup is a TLC drive

[stoic crest]

Steam does make things somewhat trivial when you happen to reinstall the OS and keep your steam games on your storage drives

You can easily locate the games folder and you will have your games back in no time

[fair moon]

Oh wait is the g50 4tb also tlc?

I think it might be

Def take that over the c910 then

Just over $400 for 4tb gen4 tlc really ain't that bad

[delicate lake]

information on the g50 is limited

i do know know of any part swaps

the klevv did swap a good bit and i do remember some nightmare scenarios people had with the driving going read only after a few weeks

i assume all that is ironed out by now though

[thin bolt]

99% of people will not have failures or issues. Speeds don’t matter outside of mostly careers that depend on them.
Most people would be fine with a gen 3 a60.

[balmy lake]

1tb nvme boot drive
1tb nvme “media” drive
(2) 500gb “internal” HDD’s on external USB-SATA bridge. 1 for back up, one for lossless archive. Need to upsize it as it’s getting full already.

*just started re-ripping my CD’s to lossless.

The HDD’s are 10+ yrs old, the one nvme is about 6-7yrs old. The other nvme is nee as it came with the laptop.

[trim pier]

I’ve always wondered, does woot like to drop deals at random times or certain times other than 12am?

[high radish]

woot generally drops their main daily drop at 12 am CT. They have clearance/open box stuff that drops at 10 am CT, but not every day. Then there are other random things that drop around 12 pm CT

[neat obsidian]

Turns out my MB only has 2 PCIe slots anyway

Rog strix B850-A

Nevermind I'm stupid

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b850-a-gaming-wifi/

It's confusing, since the extra storage slots are covered. I might be reading it wrong, but it looks like it has six

Four M.2 slots and 2 SATA.

What the heck is M.2?

[stoic crest]

m.2 is pcie, typically nvme

they're all M keyed so they're all nvme slots

[neat obsidian]

Found this 2TB NVMe for $299, and I still have a $75 gift card from christmas. I feel like I might go with this, since I like crucial as a brand

$225 sounds like a steal for this, what do you think?

[stoic crest]

P310 is a good gen 4 drive

It's QLC though, so do mind that

[uncut plume]

The p510 is faster, tlc instead of qlc and $250 on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Internal-Compatible-Desktop-Software/dp/B0DZ5XQNLM Looks like best buy is sold out so you couldn't even ask them to price match it if it has tobe best buy though.

[neat obsidian]

What are TLC and QLC?

[opal flume]

Types of memory on SSDs, QLC is higher density but lower endurance and performance than TLC, though that may vary depending on specific ssds

[polar gust]

Do we know when is Newegg going to apply the new AMD promotion prices like every other retailers?

[thin bolt]

@gilded zodiac

[uncut plume]

Generally TLC can sustain higher write speeds after you run out of cache and it lasts longer and holds up better against being repeatedly over-written. They're pretty much always rated for higher endurance but you're also very unlikely to get past the write limit on a qlc drive before your 3 or 5 years of warranty is up. If it's just for a storage and games library drive then qlc can be fine if you're getting a discount.
For example the write endurance on the p310 is 220x, 440TBW (Tera-Bytes Written) for the 2TB model, on the p510 it's 600x, 1200TBW on the 2TB model.

[delicate lake]

Honestly

You are likely to never get over that rated number

You will lowk probably get a new drive well before that one wears out

[fair moon]

My oldest SATA SSD is at 107 TBW rn. Altogether my 4tb of ssds have 262 TBW

The drives being used as OS drives have a lot more. Now that I think about it a decent chunk of that is probably shadowplay I'd imagine

Maybe I should move my temp location to a different drive

[delicate lake]

I can’t wait to see the rated lifespan for PLC

2tb probably 100 tbw

That tech will probably only be used for enterprise archives

[uncut plume]

Check the crucial e100 if you want a laugh.

[delicate lake]

80

For 1 tb

I didn’t know this drive existed

[delicate lake]

Impressive, in a way

It’s 232 layers of tlc though… how is it still so poor

[delicate lake]

Ok so it is because they are using bottom tier flash that is just good enough to be sold, combined with a controller that’s not very good at its job

To put it mildly

[brittle lagoon]

The nand itself is rated for 1000 pe cycles, so 1000tbw equivalent, lower than usual but definitely not the reason for having such low drive tbw

[uncut plume]

The part I was the most confused by was why they sold it under their own brand instead of just letting it go on aliexpress.

[gilded zodiac]

@foggy coral

I don't know how Newegg handles all our promotions, but let me see if I can find out for you.

[foggy coral]

Can you please DM me for further details?

[balmy lake]

Dam… i guess i got my price way too high. No wonder im not getting any hits.

#tech-deals message

[cunning flame]

i think that was a pricing error, i wouldn't count on that being the norm for a loooong while

[delicate lake]

Lots of pricing errors recently

Wonder if they are using "ai" for this

[warm reef]

I initially thought it was inventory clearing or calculated errors to drive up traffic and fish people who might pay regular price.

This makes more sense.

[delicate lake]

right

[shrewd aspen]

Oops made this 9.9% off product 99% off

Depending on companies it can be human error or ai eating profits away

[dull flame]

Is the last post a scam? Why does it have down votes if it's a good deal?

[thin bolt]

It’s not a good deal.

HDDs can be found for cheaper.

That 4tb ssd can be found as a hdd for half.

[fair moon]

Uhh

Yeah so notice how it's an SSD and not hhd?

With current ssd pricing that 4tb is actually a nice deal

$35/tb

Actually looking at the listing it's maybe a little sus? But ebay has really good buyer protection

[thin bolt]

I still don’t think it’s worth.

[dull flame]

Welp. Is it faster than a HDD? Just need it for a server.

[stoic crest]

listing looks sketch as hell

[fair moon]

Seller has good reviews tho

Oh wait nvm

That was for a different listing but if they're selling fake nvmes they're probably selling fake sata drives too

[uncut plume]

Real 870 evos generally cost significantly more than samsung's nvmes. Not 1/3 as much as a budget nvme.

[high radish]

It's definitely fake . Listing don't mentioning Samsung either. Its brand name is '870evo' definitely it have 64 or 128gb flash drive in it

3D printer.

[balmy lake]

I never got a response when i asked before so let me ask this way.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rWncck

Am i asking too much at $2000? Only 3 people have even bothered look at it on ebay. More have looked on marketplace but I’ve only gotten 1 offer i am sure was a scam and 1 offer to buy the CPU only.

On that note, should i part it out instead?

[shut lava]

A 500GB SATA drive really kills the desirability of the system for that price. I've seen other new 9800X3d/RX 9070 XT builds sold on Jawa.gg recently with 2TB NVMe SSDs for the same price with similar components.

The lack of ARGB fans also hurts its ability to sell for 2K.

[balmy lake]

I had a 2TB nvme in it but with prices what they are, i put it in my laptop. And swapped in the spare 500GB i had.

[shut lava]

Most people spending $2K+ on a PC want something that looks "trendy" with ARGB fans and a single color scheme. The Black, White, and Grey doesn't go well together to many buyers.

[balmy lake]

Yeah, i built it for cost/function and not aesthetics. Guess that’s biting me in the butt now. Maybe i should sell it as parts.

Luckily i kept the original packaging on most things.

Also, thanks for reminding me about jawa.

[cunning flame]

$1600-1700 gets a brand new 5070 ti build, albeit with a worse CPU. but consider also that it's $300 cheaper and brand new

with an NVME too

i'm pretty sure this was a pricing error, but newegg had a refurb 9800x3d + 9070 xt build sold and shipped by newegg for $1000 the other night

[balmy lake]

Yeah, i saw that. And i think it was a one-time thing or error or whatever but it did get me thinking. That’s kinda why i brought it up.

[cunning flame]

i'd probably refer to the $1600-1700 5070 ti builds as a price anchor

[lament ingot]

Cheap ah 3d printer, why it was deleted i have no idea

[pallid geyser]

Ahhh

3d print 3d printer

I guess because it wasn't a great deal, just an average price. It often sells for $50-$90 less than the price listed in the deal.

[thin bolt]

Final shape was end of a saga

Edge of fate has since had other games release with new content like arc raiders, bl4, marathon, etc. game is also delayed dlc

[warm reef]

They should have ended it after Final Shape, taken a year and done Destiny 3 in a different universe, maybe even more Halo than live service. Marathon was a mistake.

And I was a HUGE Destiny player from Beta up until Witch Queen.

[thin bolt]

They don’t own halo.

343 owns it.

Marathon was not a mistake. I don’t play it, but it has a decent player base.

[warm reef]

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant a Halo-type shooter.

[thin bolt]

So…. Destiny.

[warm reef]

No. Destiny is basically an MMO shooter. I mean like HALO. Single player/co-op game.

Marathon has a solid base, but the development costs as reported are way too high for what it is expected to make in terms of revenue.

[fallen idol]

It’s gonna be free to play eventually

hi

its not letting me upload pics

but i am curious between 2 deals

[cunning flame]

it's a mee6 perms thing, what are the deals/what is your question?

[open brook]

could we dm? I wanna upload the bundle, and im Curtis if I should get the ram and case with psu or with motherboard, but the thing is the case and motherboard are white eith black ram, the other deal is full black but more expensive

[cunning flame]

sure, i'll upload the pic here and we can discuss

[open brook]

im leaning to the one on the right what do you think

the ram is 32gb

and its all black which I like

I prefer a solid color

my current budget is around 1.5k cad, I was hoping to get a ryzen 5 7600 with a Radeon rt 7700rx

[cunning flame]

unless that case is way more expensive than i remember i'm pretty sure you can get an equivalent parts list for considerably less. lemme check

[open brook]

okay thanks

[cunning flame]

even paying for new ram you can save like $75

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bKkWbp

but used DDR5 is wayyy more affordable than new

[open brook]

idk if I wanna risk it with used

[cunning flame]

if you get it on ebay you have a money back guarantee if it's faulty

dram is dram, the same 3-5 manufacturers produce all of the modules, there isn't any difference between brands

[open brook]

whata dram?

[cunning flame]

ram

[open brook]

oh

[cunning flame]

reason i ask is because OEM hynix A die is like $200 and you can punch in some really basic settings to make it way faster than any stock XMP kit

[open brook]

isnt ebay like Facebook marketplace? would i have to pay shipping to return it to the owner

[open brook]

that looks like word vomit to me I dont understand

wait are these prices cad or usd?

im cad

[cunning flame]

depends on the item. i had to pay return fees on some dram i ordered a while ago, but i put it in an envelope so it was like $1 and some change

[cunning flame]

USD

[open brook]

so conversion it would be the same as what I showed u

[cunning flame]

gotcha, didn't realize that bundle was in CAD

[open brook]

534 is 700 cad

[cunning flame]

yea that's a pretty solid deal actually i'd snag it

[open brook]

alright

so get the full black right

32gb

[cunning flame]

yah

[open brook]

Okay

thanks

is that ram reputable?

thanks @cunning flame for all ur help, im prolly gonna look for a ltle longer and prolly buy this deal soon, godspeed

[open brook]

@cunning flame do i wait for ram to drop

[cunning flame]

corsair is a shit company, but they don't actually make dram they just put a heatsink on it and sell it, so it's as reputable as any other stick of dram

[cunning flame]

if you need an upgrade soon ish there isn't much reason to, but if you can wait 1-1.5 years sure, prices should fall considerably one OpenAI runs out of money and their uncut wafers enter the market

[cunning flame]

that's only 16GB of ram. AM5 boards are like $140 CAD, so you're paying $230 CAD for 16GB of ram

[open brook]

its cheaper then current prices, and I only have 20 bucks left over so I cant get 32gb

[cunning flame]

my main issue with doing the 2x8 kits and upgrading later is that 8GB DDR5 sticks are inherently slower than 16/24GB sticks even at same clocks and timings. so upgrading down the line will both limit how fast you can run your memory (boards hate having all four dimms populated), and your memory will be slower than it 'should' be on paper

honestly i'd just buy a used 1x16GB OEM hynix stick, and then upgrade to a second one whenever you have money. they're not that expensive at all and you can get really great performance out of them with some pretty plug-and-play settings

[hybrid void]

new 250k sells for pretty much the same and you get a decent free psu on top

[cunning flame]

6 un-hyperthreaded P cores vs 8

[hybrid void]

less cores but better performance in games, 10% slower in productivity but significantly lower power consumption, also has gpu and is new

[cunning flame]

worse performance in games with 200s boost enabled, which all z890 boards support

it's sold by a retailer so it carries a warranty either way. newness is pretty irrelevant in that regard

i'd rather have the faster CPU that scales threads better without leveraging E cores for basically the same price

[hybrid void]

are there any tests showing that 265k with d2d, ngu and ring overclocking better then 250k?

[cunning flame]

dawg it's the same silicon but clocked higher with more cores. you don't need a test for that. the uplift the 250k sees is by increasing D2D to 3ghz, boost clocks are practically exactly the same. 200s boost pushes d2d and ngu to 3200mhz

[hybrid void]

I though there were more internal changes besides these clocks

@fringe olive it’s their “revival” series aka save the earth series

So they still have their B stock/refurbished psu’s on the website, just harder to navigate to since they updated the UI

Just these revival series are something else, it’s a partnership for sure but I don’t know about the quality of the PSU’s.

Oh I just realized that the revival set doesn’t include “ non-essential parts or accessories”

And the quality is Grade B-A, meaning scratches, dents r cosmetic defects

Let’s hope it’s worth it 🤞

How'd you get the $75 in rewards?

[uncut plume]

That's cheap but that's the super dim one isn't it?

[fair moon]

yeah like 200 nits

but I mean for $266...

[fallen idol]

If you made a new dell account between March 2nd-April 17th, you got $25 in rewards then if you get approved for a dell credit account you get $50 in rewards. Along with the 10% off code you get for your first purchase.

[fair moon]

ah, credit card

[fallen idol]

It also says up too 9% cashback but it only gave me 3%. Or unless it gives cash back to both dell account & credit account.

Yoz when do nrwegg deals refresh i wanna get a 906p

[pallid geyser]

man. need me a good ol nvme like 2 or 4 or 200tb that isn't $50,000,000

[opal flume]

Ok. 200tb NVME for $125,000,000

[fair moon]

I have a feeling 200tb would be pretty easy to get for $50,000,000

[pallid geyser]

man that oled just keeps getting more and more tempting

how do they have so many refurb tho

[uncut plume]

They must have a deal with aoc. There are official ones for acer and msi (stralit partner) too and probably other brands.

[fallen idol]

Be careful if you do. Most of them don’t come certified refurbished. I should have read the reviews before but this is one I ordered from Acer.

[pallid geyser]

Damn that sucks man. Wonder if it was done during shipping, though.

[cunning flame]

tbf you just get your money back through ebay. bit of a pain, but for a $200 oled... i wouldn't mind refunding and then getting a second one lol

[fair moon]

I've only had bad experiences with Acer refurbs. Bought monitors twice and they were at a great price but not actually refurbished

[pallid geyser]

yeah

i bought a prebuilt from them on ebay

and couldnt get a refund or anything from them or ebay lolo

literally the biggest pain in the ass ever

[cursive sage]

can't believe i missed the oled deal, normally for that they last longer

753 sold in 1 day

wonder if they will mark it down cheaper

[fringe olive]

Well unless something happens to stagnate oleds. I think they will only become cheaper and better.

The PC Cooler $99.99 1200W PSU review: https://hwbusters.com/psus/pccooler-ys1200-atx-v3-1-psu-review/

[fallen idol]

It was packaged pretty bad but something tells me it broke before hand & they just wanna make a claim from fedex.

[fallen idol]

Yup, I also got that new Alienware oled for $270 but I think I’m going to return it tbh.

[fallen idol]

Just a waste of time imo. Plus gas aint no joke rn.. 😭

[stoic crest]

gold/plat efficiency is nice for 100

gold for 110v, plat for 230v

[dull flame]

[fair moon]

It was a reel from aggro crab I believe

[bold willow]
