14 pin connector

[brittle lagoon]

you know what we need

[dark notch]

4 pin pairs is enough

[brittle lagoon]

200w through pcie slot

[dark notch]

unless ur running 3 RX 480s

[dark notch]

4 pin pairs can handle that

thats only 4A per 12V connector

and theres 4 of em

[brittle lagoon]

what was it, 470 already pulls like 120w through the slot

but also, multi gpu

[dark notch]

RX 480

[brittle lagoon]

hehe

[dark notch]

150W TDP + single 6 pin

and the TDP is a "TDP"

[brittle lagoon]

t d p

[dark notch]

and when you increase power limit to "180W" it splits it evenly between PCIe and 6 pin

so thats 100W per 6 pin

then people run 4 of em in crossfire or use a 20AWG psu and KABOOM

[brittle lagoon]

The dreadful power

[willow niche]

[brittle lagoon]

that's why you use 00 gauge wire for everything

anybody here looking to get a graphics card?

[willow niche]

no buying or selling here

[marsh sphinx]

inb4 rtx 3070 for 2000 dollars

[uneven void]

Wait 3070 were scalped to 2000 before?

[slow sluice]

No, that's MSRP

[uneven void]

Oh I see my bad

Dang then I should start buying all the 3070s on ebay

And resell them at msrp

[marsh sphinx]

Yea I sold a 3070 i sniped for 5000 on ebay

I bought myself a lamborghini for it

heres the pic of the lambo i got for my 3070

[pulsar fable]

Mice counts as tech right?

[marsh sphinx]

of course

[pulsar fable]

Is the hero sensor in that Logitech mouse still up to par or are we well beyond that?

[brisk sphinx]

Still a very solid sensor

The G PRO Superlight uses it

[spiral kelp]

Hero is great

[hallow stump]

If u can sell me a 3060 for under 700$ sure

[fluid nebula]

@hallow stump sry bro, already sold it for 725

[grand orbit]

#rules bruh ;-;

youd be surprised man

[spiral kelp]

Read this cameron

[spiral kelp]

Ur not cameron

Smh

[minor lava]

i dont care

[spiral kelp]

Don't read it

[pulsar fable]

@prisma halo what better about the g pro? If the g pro and the mx518 use the same sensor, what's the reason to pay double?

[minor lava]

oh we talking about peripherals

this is my territory now

[brittle lagoon]

lol

g r i p

[pulsar fable]

Oh, that works*

[spiral kelp]

#peripherals-and-displays

KIDDING

[minor lava]

logitech g pro vs logitech mx518
G Pro has a different grip, G Pro is lighter, G pro uses better switches from what I can see, G pro has some poggers wireless

[spiral kelp]

Pls keep going

Yeah the g pro wireless is dang good

[brittle lagoon]

Not gpw, different mouse

[spiral kelp]

Same mouse. Just wireless

[pulsar fable]

Just g pro. The wireless is an extra $50

And the 518 is $25 less from that. So, half of half of the price

[minor lava]

ah

well the thing about switches still applies

and it is lighter iirc

lemme just chefck

[pulsar fable]

That's good to know

[minor lava]

yeah its lighter

by like

30g

different shape tho

[pulsar fable]

I just know the 518 because I used the mx500 throughout highschool IT class (it was a multi year* shop, so we kept the same PC and peripherals year in and out)

[spiral kelp]

https://www.gamergear.net/compare.php?a=HPC&prod_catid=2&prod_idA=1122&prod_idB=1464

[pulsar fable]

Thanks for that

[spiral kelp]

This says mx518 doesn't use hero

Wait disregard

They confused me

Frick that website

It looks like it really just depends on your grip like they mentioned

[pulsar fable]

Yeah I was about to say best buy claims the mouse has 16k dpi, while the site says it only has 12k

[spiral kelp]

I'd go for the mx518 cause I'm a palmer

[pulsar fable]

I will take both mice into consideration, and thanks for the feedback

[spiral kelp]

I got a g502. No complaints tbh. I like the customizable weight. And the infinite wheel

[marsh sphinx]

[forest prairie]

G502 scam

Dang

[jolly inlet]

Since when is G502 a scam? I'm on my second one after they replaced the first under warranty (I wore out the left click playing MMOs lol)

[spiral kelp]

That's what I'm wonderin kek. Haven't heard or seen anythin bad on em

[jolly inlet]

The only issues I've had with both my SE and regular hero models are the scroll wheel being too loose when unlocked and randomly scrolling a bit. Easily solved by locking the scroll wheel. I love how adjustable the weight is.

[molten halo]

G502 scam? Just buy the g pro superlight instead!

[west coral]

why is there a 10 minute thingy on the deal channel

[jolly inlet]

To discourage people from burying the links in discussions

[west coral]

but but mah deals

[jolly inlet]

I can turn off slowmode for a bit if you have a few links to post

[west coral]

please

[jolly inlet]

... I still don't know the new syntax

Or I'm not allowed to

Tell you what DM the links to me and I'll post them

[west coral]

sure

[brittle lagoon]

Might just need to petition for a new rank of like dealer that allows you not be affected by the slowmode in tech deals

[jolly inlet]

That's what I was thinking too, new role that's immune to slow mode

[civic sun]

you have 1 minute post now

it is disabled

https://tenor.com/view/duffy-duck-looney-tunes-daffy-waiting-bored-gif-16631284

[minor lava]

👏

[civic sun]

would have to ctrl + r discord if it still locked

[west coral]

whoops just dm’d him

[marsh sphinx]

is a abs prebuilt with a i5 10600k and rtx3060ti for 1269 a good deal?

[jolly inlet]

That's not too bad yeah

[civic sun]

ok it's back on now, try to keep all links in one message if you send multiple

easier that way

[marsh sphinx]

what would be better its the best price ive found

[jolly inlet]

It's just the current market is bad, but with that in consideration that's a decent PC and price

[marsh sphinx]

so if i would build it my self would it be cheaper?

[jolly inlet]

If you could get a GPU at all for a good price, probably cheaper to build yes

[marsh sphinx]

i looked on ebay and the 3060tis are like 900

usd

[jolly inlet]

ebay is a bad metric, check the pinned buying guide. It can take a month or three to get a GPU if you're persistent.

[marsh sphinx]

right but i cant be online all the time

[jolly inlet]

You don't need to be, just look at the guide

[marsh sphinx]

wherer

[jolly inlet]

#graphics-cards message

[dark notch]

best buy drops aint worth

just enter evga queue

and newegg shuffle

and try for amd

[jolly inlet]

If you get the info on best buy drops early enough you can hang out in line for a couple days and you're guaranteed a GPU

[dark notch]

dont spend 10 hours camping best buy or showing up every day for 2 weeks just use that time to make money

[marsh sphinx]

Irl?

[dark notch]

[jolly inlet]

Yep, best buy is only doing in person sales for GPUs now

At least in the US

[dark notch]

friend spent 10 hours at best buy (previous day 4PM) and didnt even get a 3080

[marsh sphinx]

so if i get this pc i prob dont have to go through heck

[dark notch]

had to cope and buy a 3090

and funny thing is they didnt even sell out of 3090

[jolly inlet]

Yes prebuilt is just the easier option for most people right now

[marsh sphinx]

yeah ima just go with it]

[dark notch]

so if he just arrived there in the morning he woulda got the same thing

[marsh sphinx]

is abs a good brand?

[dark notch]

its fine

[jolly inlet]

Good enough yeah

[marsh sphinx]

ok thankyou bye going to bed

[jolly inlet]

It's not Dell

[marsh sphinx]

Nice pc

[verbal tangle]

Yessir

Im assuming unless im blind

[grand orbit]

Ye

Regular atx

[verbal tangle]

Phew

Just have to get father approval

[pulsar fable]

@west coral I'm not sure if a Costco promotion counts as "tech", but I will take advantage of it nonetheless. Thanks for that

[grand orbit]

I mean you can buy some tech at costco so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@west coral the ram is out of stock btw

[marsh sphinx]

i was thinking of getting a pc with a 2060 for 1200 and when i can get a 3060ti at msrp i sell the 2060 for 230$

whens the next newegg shuffle

[grand orbit]

If you have a budget of 1200 usd get this instead https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali564/p/N82E16883360194?itemPosition=1-11&exactIndex=0

[marsh sphinx]

that has a crap cooler crap mobo and crap ram

[grand orbit]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali559/p/N82E16883360189?itemPosition=1-11&exactIndex=4 or just buy this if you want a 3060 ti

[grand orbit]

Nah it doesn't

[marsh sphinx]

and crap psu

That cooler is horible

look at how tiny it is

@grand orbit oh i was looking at a smaller one anyways so i will have room on my desk

[grand orbit]

Cooler is fine for an i5 10400, 3000mhz is also fine, it has a b560 board which is fine, it doesn't say what psu it has @marsh sphinx

[marsh sphinx]

i went on reddit and looked at the reviews

[grand orbit]

You can move into matx case if you please

[grand orbit]

https://youtu.be/b2vrvQydVIw

[marsh sphinx]

but he also says the problems watch the vid

[grand orbit]

He does but it's better than any other prebuilt

[grand orbit]

Yeah those temps are good

[marsh sphinx]

i was thinking of a skytech with a r3600 and a 2060 and decent mobo and that small formfactor

[grand orbit]

Well not good but not bad either

[grand orbit]

Skytech have screwed many people over, and the specs and built quality are worse

What mobo does the skytech one have?

[marsh sphinx]

https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-chronosm-0193/p/1VK-005B-000S1?IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

b450m gigabyte

@grand orbit look at this one

[grand orbit]

1 it doesn't say which motherboard it uses just that it's b450, 3000mhz ram with Ryzen not great, and having a significantly worse gpu

[marsh sphinx]

right

[grand orbit]

1 that's the same board as the abs one except abs is using the b560 variant because intel CPU, 2 pictures aren't always accurate

Sometimes they reuse pics

[marsh sphinx]

the abs one on reddit alot of people said they got screwed over

what should i do

[grand orbit]

I'd go abs

[grand orbit]

You can ask @azure pond about their skytech experience if you want, it was awful

[marsh sphinx]

wdym

[grand orbit]

In what way where they screwed over??

[marsh sphinx]

abs is fine

[marsh sphinx]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Newegg/comments/m6o4ul/warning_before_purchasing_abs_prebuilt_computers/

its mixed reviews

interesting

[marsh sphinx]

read it

for my peace of mind

i did.

[marsh sphinx]

Really dude

[marsh sphinx]

ty

You come in here for help and give us that attitude

[marsh sphinx]

wdym

@grand orbit so i should go with abs?

[grand orbit]

1 doa gpus aren't really abs's problem, 2 usually the problem is people plugging the monitor into the motherboard instead of the gpu, 3 majority of the time these "reviews" don't have much credit to them

[marsh sphinx]

I’m not gonna let a reddit post with like 27 upvotes sway my opinion on ABS

[grand orbit]

Yes

[marsh sphinx]

ok

The people who go on abs to review the product are people who don’t even know how to use computers

Real pc builders and users know abs is the way to go … lmao

[marsh sphinx]

ive built 3 computers in the past

[marsh sphinx]

I meant majority of the people writing reviews know close to nothing about computers

[marsh sphinx]

oh

they say any issue is “doa”

right

If the boot order isn’t right or they plugged into non-existent igpu then it’s “doa”

According to these noob buyers

[grand orbit]

A decent amount of "doa" is probs the gpu fans weren't spinning on bootup

Or plugged into mobo display out

[marsh sphinx]

Lmao

guys

[grand orbit]

I mean it makes sense if you don't know that modern gpus have a 0rpm mode

[grand orbit]

Yes?

[marsh sphinx]

im finding the one i saw yesterday

ima send link of it

[azure pond]

skytech is awful

literal dog ***

[marsh sphinx]

@grand orbit

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali472/p/N82E16883360057?Item=N82E16883360057&Description=abs gaming desktop&cm_re=abs_gaming desktop-_-83-360-057-_-Product&quicklink=true

@marsh sphinx wanna look at this one?

Says out of stock

ik but when its back in stock would it be good?

[grand orbit]

There's no guarantee it will any time soon

[marsh sphinx]

It’s a good pc

but 3060ti

high demand

[grand orbit]

Yeah good

[marsh sphinx]

yeah

[grand orbit]

But doubt it will come back in stock

Or at that price

[marsh sphinx]

ok wahts a good one with 3060ti

that one

[marsh sphinx]

dang its not gonna be instock anytime soon tho according to pato

He’s right tho

sadly

what about this one https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali559/p/N82E16883360189?Item=N82E16883360189

should i go 3060 or ti

[grand orbit]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali559/p/N82E16883360189?itemPosition=1-11&exactIndex=4 the one that's in stock

[grand orbit]

I mean it's not impossible i just wouldn't count on it

[grand orbit]

3060 ti is significantly better

[marsh sphinx]

but the specs tho

[marsh sphinx]

how much

like 10% or 20%

[grand orbit]

But the specs of what?

[marsh sphinx]

are not as good as the other one for same price

the one thats in stock vs not in stock

[grand orbit]

20% better

[marsh sphinx]

ohh thats alot

[grand orbit]

10600k is less than 10% better, 10600k one has better motherboard because you can oc if you want but the cooler is inadequate for oc, case airflow looks bit worse smaller ssd

[grand orbit]

Yeah

[marsh sphinx]

right

[grand orbit]

But tbh unless you playing csgo/valorant low you wont notice the difference

[marsh sphinx]

hows the cooler on the one with normal 10400

[marsh sphinx]

no im playing stuff like battlefeild and rdr2

[grand orbit]

It's fine for a 10400, could be better but gets the job done, if you want a better cooler you can get a 23-30$ cooler that will cool it better anyway

[grand orbit]

Then 10400 to 10600k is negligible

[marsh sphinx]

will that void waranty

[grand orbit]

No

[marsh sphinx]

but what if theres issue and i need to send it back

[marsh sphinx]

what if i send it back with that cooler

[grand orbit]

Then you can remove your cooler i suppose and reinstall the one it came with

[marsh sphinx]

right

[pulsar fable]

Not a tech deal, but I find it funny that the hyper 212 evo and the Corsair a500 air cooler* go for the same price now (not including rebates)

[grand orbit]

The a500 is 40$? 👀

[pulsar fable]

$45

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-A500-High-Performance-Cooler/dp/B0829SLJSF

Newegg probably would have it cheaper, but it's out of stock there

[grand orbit]

The 212 goes for like 30$ lol

212 black is 25$ after 15$ rebate, not terrible

[pulsar fable]

The Corsair also usual has a $15 rebate on Newegg. That's where I got mine. Again though it's out of stock there*

[grand orbit]

It's not a great cooler anyway had a lot of ram compatibility issues iirc but it's not bad for 45$

[grave delta]

SE 224 beats a 212 though, doesn't it?

[grand orbit]

I believe the 224 beats out the 212 black by a bit but they're close? Not great deal because that's the price it should be anyway

[grave delta]

Yeah, 212's only problem is msrp, fine on a sale tbh.

[marsh sphinx]

@grand orbit do you know of any promo codes that take 10%off

[grand orbit]

You can try honey but usually all neweggs promo codes come up on the page for the item

[willow niche]

a500 is not good

especially when pa120 is 41 bucks

[pulsar fable]

I did not know that cooler existed until you pinged me

Thanks for that

[brittle lagoon]

btw where is it 41$

doesn't show up on pcpp and I'm lazy

[warm thicket]

Amazon

[brittle lagoon]

fun

[grand orbit]

Is there a full name for it? When you search pa120 it comes up with other weird things

[warm thicket]

Gelid phantom is also an excellent CPU cooler for $30

[lusty ridge]

Any deals on an rtx 3060 laptop in ireland / dubai?
i prefare lenovo legion 5 or asus zyphrus g15

my budget is 1500$

[grand orbit]

They are very separate regions.?

[lusty ridge]

yeah i know but i can ship them

i live in syria and i cant find an rtx 3060 laptop for less than 2000$ there

[grand orbit]

Ahh

@lusty ridge this is an alright shout

[lusty ridge]

yeah there is also the lenovo one , but the screen is 120Hz
i was trying to look for 144hz+ screen but it seems there isnt many

[grand orbit]

@lusty ridge https://m.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9308095/c_1/1|category_root|Office,+PCs+and+phones|14418968/c_2/3|cat_50000560|Laptops|50000564.htm

[grand orbit]

The difference from 120hz to 144hz isn't noticeable tbh

Both of those are pretty good options for Ireland, idk where to look for dubai

[lusty ridge]

yup i agree , if i didnt find the 165Hz one iam going to go for that one

[grand orbit]

Happy to help

[lusty ridge]

is ebay good for buying laptops?

[humble crystal]

Yes, if you're patient and make sure that you buy from a good seller

[devout elm]

is r9 270 x good

?

amd phenom 2 x 4and a gtx 770

for 270 euro

[devout elm]

help me a sec

[humble crystal]

What's up?

[willow niche]

😏

[brittle lagoon]

@pulsar fable why the hell do they market that sn750 as pcie 4.0

Like

That's slower than rocket 4q speeds iirc

[grand orbit]

Those bad prices

[pulsar fable]

I just posted the item. I don't dictate their marketing

Besides, people don't buy that drive for the drive. They buy it for the game, with a $30 nvme on the side

[brittle lagoon]

Oh lmao

[slow sluice]

sn750 se

it's weird

[grave delta]

Uses a Phison E19T

[brittle lagoon]

Yes

It just really bothers me how useless it being pcie 4.0 is

Sure it's fun it's one of if not the first dramless pcie 4.0 ssd

But it's more competing with a 980 than even a rocket q4

[pulsar fable]

I'm just waiting for the new CPUs and pcie gen 5. Hopefully the price of the previous gen's* stuff will go down

[brittle lagoon]

The main thing that bothers me is how people are going to stick those in current gen consoles

Despite the reccomendation for r/w being like 5000mb/s

[slow sluice]

It won't really

[brittle lagoon]

And yea

It won't

There's no reason for gen 3 SSDs to become cheaper atm

[slow sluice]

As far as consumer space goes, gen 3 is current gen

[brittle lagoon]

It's like HDDs

Making a 10000rpm HDD doesn't phase out all the 7200rpm HDDs

[pulsar fable]

That is a good point

[brittle lagoon]

Nand prob won't be getting any cheaper from this point on

The controller, well, it's somewhat of a shortage atm

[slow sluice]

It theoretically could, the process is still maturing

[brittle lagoon]

Oh yea development in nand/controller manufacturing can directly affect SSD prices

But next gen SSDs won't directly affect current gen SSDs

Anyways I'm still just kinda mad at WD for marketing that as a pcie 4.0 drive

[slow sluice]

It technically is

Wonder how it would run in x2

[pulsar fable]

I doubt people are gonna stick that in ps5s given the marketing towards PCs in the promotional pictures

I'm not even sure if the bf2042 code would work on console

[minor lava]

People will do whatever they can to make their console “pc worthy”

[brittle lagoon]

I like how a bunch of reviews say they didn't get 2042 codes

[pulsar fable]

Nice xD

[brittle lagoon]

But you know how current gen consoles have been saying grab pcie 4.0 SSDs

[pulsar fable]

Yes

[brittle lagoon]

That's where I see where a good amount of those drives will go

[torpid night]

this is now general-chat-2

[brittle lagoon]

You KNOW people are going to search pcie 4.0 SSD and sort by cheapest

[pulsar fable]

...wow you're right

[grave delta]

Damn, some 64GB kits of rev.b down under $200 recently

[grand orbit]

Forks why the up and down emote on your super flower post lol?

I updated the pins

[grand orbit]

Ahh good idea

Can’t u make the bot do that

[grand orbit]

@verbal tangle that 9900k is a pretty bad price btw especially considering you can buy a 10700k for cheaper or a 10850k for that price in mc

[verbal tangle]

True but for a best buy cpu( trash prices) its a decent deal

[grand orbit]

Not really you can get a 10700k from best buy for 10$ cheaper....

[verbal tangle]

Oof

[grand orbit]

Not to mention gl finding a z390 board for a decent price if they not upgrading just the cpu

[spiral kelp]

This good ram stickies?

Oh?

[light bay]

Lpx can sometimes not even run at rated xmp

Not a super reliable bin

[spiral kelp]

Got a link for Better by chances? Woukd keep looking myself but my connection is being sporatic

[grand orbit]

@spiral kelp what cpu is it for?

[spiral kelp]

5600x

[grand orbit]

Why 32gb ram with a 5600x?

[minor lava]

Becuz

Speed

[grand orbit]

And you'll want 3600mhz ram

[spiral kelp]

Future proofin

My ram is old as ballz

Like 2400mhz

There's minor future proofing

[minor lava]

You’ll have your 32gb for future proofing and they’ll drop 512gb ram in 3 years

[grand orbit]

@spiral kelp https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KkqBD3/crucial-ballistix-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl16-memory-bl2k16g36c16u4b or just get this or get this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WPvqqs/crucial-ballistix-rgb-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k8g36c16u4wl / https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fDn8TW/crucial-ballistix-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k8g36c16u4r and get another kit of that later if you need 32gb

[spiral kelp]

That's future me problem

[grand orbit]

Coolers psu and case the only thing you can really future proof

[spiral kelp]

Didn't say it was

[grand orbit]

Why not?

[minor lava]

Liquid cooling stinky

[grand orbit]

Noooo

[minor lava]

That’s just air cooler gang propaganda

[grand orbit]

Arctic ek and lian li would never !-!

[spiral kelp]

Liquid cooled ram plz

[grand orbit]

Arctic liquid freezer rgb 😍

[spiral kelp]

Ty for the recommendations. I'll probs get that middle one

[grand orbit]

Ddr5 liquid cooled ram might actually be a thing

[spiral kelp]

Oh? Sounds interesting

[grand orbit]

The white rgb nice price atm indood

Corsair has

[spiral kelp]

The black one is 10 bucks more for some reason kek

[grand orbit]

Ddr5 supposed to be hot so in bit with higher frequencies n stuff looks like might need active cooling

[grand orbit]

White on sale afaik

Pretty sure it was?

Custom loop only tho no aio

Ahhh

Cuz not needed lol

The ssd hardly saw any improvements with water cooling vs within lmao

Yeah you available in like 4.5hrs time can hop on a call?

[spiral kelp]

Think they'd just develop like some sort of "sleeve" to put over it or smthin?

[grand orbit]

I can do either

[grand orbit]

No idea

[spiral kelp]

Sounds like a market someone can corner

Do it rommy

[brittle lagoon]

They'll probably just look like high end ddr4 sticks to start off

like I can see dark pro being used again for ddr5

[spiral kelp]

Interestin

[dark notch]

liquid cooled ram has been a thing

ever since DDR1

its very viable on DDR2/DDR3

It's very rare and I've only seen useful for ram oc'ers

359 for i9 9900k

breeeeeh

that's a trash deal

[civic sun]

i got mine for ~200-250usd

[stoic crest]

now that's what i call a decent deal

[spiral kelp]

I got mine for 69

[stoic crest]

nice

[dark notch]

$359 is 10900K price

[stoic crest]

ye

or 5800x

but 10900k is spicy for dem oc too

[brittle lagoon]

77$ seems kinda normal for ballistix but that's just me

[grand orbit]

It was but it's been hanging around 90$ for a while

Last 60 days

[oak sentinel]

@verbal tangle the I9 9900k "deal" you uploaded isnt really a deal... You can get a 10850k for like 280$ if you buy a mobo sometimes

[void whale]

also puts you onto a dead dead platform

[grave delta]

I'm just gonna delete that so he doesn't get more spam pings

I think the 13 downvotes got the message over

@west coral Nope, not b-die

[west coral]

oh mb i saw an sd thread about b die think i got confused with a different timing

[grave delta]

Remember to at least include a price shipped in your post, if it's after rebate an "AR" will suffice

No need to state discount codes if they're listed on the page anyway.

[grave delta]

That 3200c14 b-die is normal price

Junk pcb too

[marsh sphinx]

$84 is usual price

That's a terrible kit for the money lol - This stuff is $350 msrp when in stock https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820374180?quicklink=true @grand orbit

[grand orbit]

ohh yeah nvm idk why the cl16 trash timings is so much more

[grave delta]

Paying $$ extra for the gold/royal heatspreader is one thing if someone so chooses - but yeah that ram is junk lol

My current recommendation for top tier 2x16 b-die is still anything on https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007611 601275378 600531833 601301279 - except the ripjaws

the 4000c16 bin is close - but not much cheaper

[grand orbit]

@grave delta just looked at those again but the kit i linked was 2x32 so twice the capacity lol

[grave delta]

oh, oops, yeah with the promo, not so terrible - but only if someone really wants that gold lol

Otherwise you can get a better dual rank rev.b kit for $50 or more less

[grand orbit]

yeah thought it was decent for trident royal tax

[grave delta]

I think it looks tacky - but to each their own

[grand orbit]

So do i but some ppl like

[tribal pollen]

Bro I think that monitor was a steal! The gigabyte one

Is this a deal or psu bomb waiting to happen? https://computers.woot.com/offers/cooler-master-mwe-white-650-80-psu?ref=w_cnt_wp_0_3

[minor lava]

mwe is b-tier iirc

i have one

[grand orbit]

Alright for the price, 80+ white is fairly inefficient so not to kind on the electricity bill, it's c tier tho

[grand orbit]

Mwe gold and mwe v2 are b tier

[minor lava]

ohhhhhhhhh

[grand orbit]

That one is c tier

[teal vine]

Hello. I'm new here and just saying hello.

[stoic crest]

wth

a

tr cooler for 29 after rebate??

that's insane

[minor lava]

Would it be worth getting even though I don’t have a tr

[stoic crest]

worth reselling maybe

you'd still legit profit lol

[jolly inlet]

Assuming you actually get your rebate, they tend to do everything they can not to pay out

[stoic crest]

oof

rebates sucks that bad?

[jolly inlet]

Yeah rebates suck. If you do eventually get it, it's like 2 months later

[stoic crest]

wow

that's painful

[jolly inlet]

They like to put asterisks on the rebate form too like
*While funds last
And then not say how many funds there are left when you submit the rebate, only to be told "oh we ran out"

[stoic crest]

lol rip

[marsh sphinx]

enermax rebate sucks

Its been more than 30 days since i mailed the stuff to them

i think i bought the product on like the 13th of august

and mailed it a couple days later

[merry void]

Uh

Who’s gonna tell him that most rebates take 1-3 months

[cloud hornet]

Am pretty sure my three rebates I did were 2 months

Two AsRock and on Azza

[merry void]

I’ve done rebates for a lot of brands

Corsair, cooler master, thermaltake

All were around 2 months

[raw girder]

....Did all the WD Blue 4TB drives actually get bought out in an hour and then...resold on marketplace for the pre-sale price? (moved from tech-deals). All the 4tb SSDs sold out before I could even drive home(was in my cart) and now there's a lot more on the market place than I thought I saw the last few days.

[grand orbit]

You should post this in #tech-deals

[azure pond]

There's some less than par reviews though

Oh mb thought I did

Take a look at the reviews before I do

[grand orbit]

I wouldn't really give much merit to user reviews like that, i mean it's abs they got good build quality

[azure pond]

kk

just posted there

[jolly inlet]

User reviews don't mean jack these days. A brand could pay to flood another brand's products with negative reviews.

[azure pond]

yeah true

[jolly inlet]

And it works both ways. You see a lot of "give us 5 stars and we'll send you X" stuff on Amazon, which is against terms so report when you see that.

[loud sandal]

That's why I just buy what looks good

[grave delta]

They can still be useful to skim through IME

[jolly inlet]

There's trusted review sites and YouTube content creators that you can absolutely look at, though. It's usually obvious when a review site is paid for a positive review because of the vocabulary used.

[grave delta]

The fakes are usually painfully obvious as are the ones where it's the user's error.

[marsh sphinx]

Doa, won’t turn on. black screen

[brittle lagoon]

but my 9700k wouldn't work with this z590 motherboard, 0/10 bad intel motherboard

arrgh gee bee

Not really worth of it's own post - but man, good deal on a 1200w in today's market given that 1600's are sold out @ $500+ https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-platinum-se-sf-1200f14mp-v2-1200w/p/1HU-024C-00037

it has 10400f, 3060, 16 gigs of ram and all

1tb ssd too

Ouu that's a real nice one.

[graceful pollen]

Can anyone tell when will there be a offer

[exotic barn]

Offer on what? @graceful pollen

[graceful pollen]

Pc parts

Like some discount

[exotic barn]

That's pretty vague.

Look on #tech-deals @graceful pollen

Maybe scroll up here and see if anyone posted anything good.

[graceful pollen]

👍

[exotic barn]

Now I didn't say to ask there lmao. I meant to browse what people have posted already. @graceful pollen

Also nobody is gonna search every store looking for specific deals you want.

Look what they've posted and decide if you want it or not.

That's pretty much all the deals people think is worth anything. Any time someone finds something worth it, they'll post it there.

[graceful pollen]

😅

[grave delta]

[graceful pollen]

Sorry

The 5700 g is 358 $ but here is 458$

Why?

[dark notch]

taxes

ask your parents about them

[jolly inlet]

This Dell might be worth getting just for the GPU and CPU at that price, #tech-deals message
Mostly because that case is garbage and all the parts are totally proprietary so you can't swap anything better.

[light bay]

@dark notch I approve of that leadex iii

[dark notch]

arr gee bee

based

[light bay]

It's like 5 db quieter than the non argb for some reason

The non argb 750 iii is louder than a 1000watt gold from leadex lol

This argb 750 iii is comparable to a non argb leadex 850 iii in noise

Much better

[dark notch]

lmao

[light bay]

I bet even that crappy aresgame 850 is quieter than the leadex iii 750 non argb tbh

30db average for a PSU is not a very good result at all

Ok wait nevermind cybernetics just released data on the new aresgame 850 and that sucker runs average 43db

Holyyyyyy

Same as their 750 watt lmao

Keep in mind be quiet has a 1200 watt that will run at 16db average lol, basically completely silent

[dark notch]

thats well below noise floor

[exotic barn]

Wow that just sounds gross.

[light bay]

I'm surprised tbh

I expected team to start doing that

They should have to include a liquid cooler for their p5 in the box

At no extra cost

[grand orbit]

Lol

[grand orbit]

@fringe hearth the 1st one is awful for the price

[grave delta]

@marsh sphinx Great deal, but OOS now, lol

[marsh sphinx]

oos? lol

idk what that stands for

[brittle lagoon]

Out of stock

[marsh sphinx]

oh

dang there were 6 left

they got snatched real quick

[brittle lagoon]

Mmm

Good deal

[marsh sphinx]

I would've gotten one if I wasnt holding off on upgrading my server

well ,two actually

[brittle lagoon]

Forky might've bought them all to bin and bench for hwbot >:p

[marsh sphinx]

lmao

exposed

[brittle lagoon]

Perhaps demonmit got em

[grave delta]

lol, no sense binning this type of locked chip, I did just pick up two 2670 v2's for $30 each though

[brittle lagoon]

Some will boost slightly better so yaknow

[grave delta]

The 2650 is a better deal - but compared to the total cost / time spend on the server, it's not saving much. base/boost clock is 100 mhz higher though

[brittle lagoon]

Bin for the 5mhz higher

[grave delta]

But they'd be useless for both single/dual socket global core counts, and barely worth anything for hardware points

[brittle lagoon]

Ah

[marsh sphinx]

30 bucks nice

[brittle lagoon]

I don't really know how hwbot gives out points so

[grave delta]

global points based on core count, hardware points based on how popular that chip is on hwbot

Not every bench gives global points

[grand orbit]

And sell for 2$ more kek?

[brittle lagoon]

Hm

[marsh sphinx]

I LOST BY A FREAKING DOLLAR

@uneven void whats wrong with CX?

[brittle lagoon]

might just be understandably disappointed by MIR

[willow niche]

ye I can see that

[uneven void]

oh its not a bad brand, it will work fine but i just recommend people 80+ gold or better

[lofty moss]

80+ bronze is a BASIC rating

if it cant achieve that

its dog

anything 80+ bronze and up is worth looking into

but it totally depends on which model you looking at specifically

my 1000W gold G5 supernova tho

make me coom

😩

[dark notch]

G5 is the cursed evga

its like G+

but worse..

somehow...

[lofty moss]

not G5

G5 supernova

there is in fact no difference

nevermind

even drunk me realized this in half of a second after a google search

it was cheap and im running it at half cap so whatev

[brittle lagoon]

g2 is what receives the shilling here atm

[willow niche]

??????

there are quite a few 80+ gold power supplies that are worse than this one

please don't judge by a measly rating

there are many other factors that have much greater importance when determining the quality of the power supply.

[grand orbit]

coughs in gigabyte

[uneven void]

Alright sorry

I don't even understand how gigabyte made their psus so bad

[grand orbit]

The PSU doesn't trip when it should is a big problem anyway, could be using low quality parts as well not 100% certain

[stoic crest]

^

[uneven void]

Oop

[willow niche]

gigabyte isnt even the only one.

they're a common example

but there are a LOT more

[thick locust]

Name one

Other than gigabyte

[willow niche]

evga b5

any unreviewed 80+ gold unit (there are a lot)

gold zen isnt very good iirc

evga gd

agm

[shut flame]

Keep in mind, too, it's not every Gigabyte PSU, just a particular few.

[thick locust]

Yeah

[willow niche]

yea ik

the aorus pgm is fine

[brittle lagoon]

pretty sure NE gold zen is fine?

but yea ap-gm fine

[willow niche]

wdym

[willow niche]

any orther gigabyte psu is sus except for that one THOR copy

that one has to be good for the price they asking

[brittle lagoon]

Oh nevermind, I see

mistook NE gold yellow label for NE gold zen

NE gold yellow label is just seasonic focus platform

NE gold zen some andyson thing

[willow niche]

andyson = seasonic though ????????!??

[shut flame]

For PSUs, I try to stick with Seasonic. They could release a bad one, too, but it's less likely. I am still a fan of the older EVGA models (G2, G3, T2, and P2). The new G5 series is not reviewing as well though.

[brittle lagoon]

seasonic focus = name platform

andyson PAD07 (?) is not

[willow niche]

cringe

[stoic crest]

i just look at models

never stick to one brand

[willow niche]

joking

[shut flame]

Actually, I don't follow the Seasonic Focus line. I assume they are OK.

[willow niche]

lol heres the image

[willow niche]

oh theyr fine but dont buy the older ones

[brittle lagoon]

anyways, most things seasonic focus, leadex/leadex iii, and cwt gpu are good

ye older focus lineups had tripping issues

[willow niche]

cwt gpr also p cool

[brittle lagoon]

who wants a psu with tt branding tho

but yes gpr good

[stoic crest]

thermaltake psus

yuck

[willow niche]

inb4 "what is gf1"

[brittle lagoon]

there's a-gf, there's gf1, there's p-gf, and there's a gf2

#tech-deals-discussion message kek

[stoic crest]

lots of girlfriends

yes but tt generally is yuck

avoiding em is good practice imo

[brittle lagoon]

tt logo yuck

[willow niche]

doing research is good practice imo

[stoic crest]

fair

[willow niche]

accoriding to that logic we may never have found the gf1

[stoic crest]

i just don't care about thermaltake

they're out of my sight

[brittle lagoon]

nah, I as a cwt gpu shill would've at one point found that cwt gpr exists >:D

[willow niche]

ok and

[stoic crest]

ik im still not right

your argument wins, im just adding my opinion

don't mind it

[willow niche]

i as a cwt shill

[brittle lagoon]

oh yea cwt gps good too

[willow niche]

cwt/thermalright one example where i can shill the brand

[stoic crest]

anything cwt related i have is my laptop's power brick

[brittle lagoon]

just non-mod

thermalright is good but I can't shill brand, I will still shill Noctua as a brand, perhaps not the products for the money, but what Noctua does is great

[stoic crest]

i kinda shill arctic

[brittle lagoon]

I'll shill Arctic p12 still, great fan for price

[stoic crest]

ye

esp those packs

[willow niche]

what do they do that is so great

[minor lava]

Noctua?

[brittle lagoon]

free brackets

long warranty

[willow niche]

not like other comapnies do those things too

they just overpriced their stuff so much

[brittle lagoon]

gib source for thermalright shipping free upgrade brackets then

[stoic crest]

thermalright makes my brain sometimes go "thermal alright" when i don't pay enough attention

the letters are so close together

[brittle lagoon]

Noctua also just does such fun things

[willow niche]

like what

[brittle lagoon]

have you seen their noise canceling prototype thing?

https://youtu.be/-atLQYr14zI

Noctua also making a desk fan

[willow niche]

desk fan 😳

[brittle lagoon]

such nice and fun stuff

[willow niche]

also it seems thermalright has been good with supplying new brakcets

at least in recent times

[brittle lagoon]

but free?

:p

[willow niche]

http://thermalright.com/en/2017/02/21/thermalright-amd-am4-cpu-mount-upgrade/

wait not sure if shipping is free

oh it isnt

[brittle lagoon]

"for you to pay the delivery fees and handling charge."

pretty sure Noctua is free

but yea

good to know

[willow niche]

i mean is not paying that worth the 'noctua tax'

[brittle lagoon]

?

[willow niche]

look, you could pay 5 dollars for shipping or pay 30 dollars for a different cooler that performs very similar but has free shipping

[brittle lagoon]

but anyways I shill Noctua as a company, not their products for price to perf

[willow niche]

hmm i kinda see that

just dont like supporting their company because their products define them so much

[brittle lagoon]

D15 has stood at or near the top of charts for the past like 5 years, and they're making next gen d15 in half a year

no

enlighten me

[brittle lagoon]

Noctua PR guy said they tested it with 100 fans running at once

it has a physical knob for controlling rpm

it has a no fan mode

it is sata powered

it's tiny

[marsh sphinx]

its weird how some people think this platform is still worth that much 🤡

the cpu alone goes for around 75 bucks, the motherboard around 150 at the most expensive end

[stoic crest]

cuz i7 tax

[grave delta]

Not even a good board

Look at that vrm

[stoic crest]

yeup

[grave delta]

I don't fault people for listing stuff like that on ebay, costs them nothing, small chance someone might buy it

[marsh sphinx]

time to sell my i7 870 for 300 dollars

[light bay]

With rgb on that board it'd be worth that $400 for sure

But sadly no rgb

[marsh sphinx]

just glue some RGB strips on the back edges of it, problem solved

engineering

[light bay]

Yes

[grave delta]

The vrm will become a light emitting resistor if you push the chip too hard

[light bay]

Sounds fun

[marsh sphinx]

woah

the board's components produce its own rgb

now that is gamer.

[grave delta]

59xxK chips overclock real well

Like, intel 2nd gen levels of "real well"

Check out the silicon lottery binning data vs intel's stock speeds

[marsh sphinx]

ive never been able to put in the time, so ive never been much of an overclocker let alone have much in-depth knowledge on the topic

i would like to get into it more one of these days

but im too busy 💀

[grave delta]

Depends on what hardware and use case you have - but the benefit definitely varies.

e.g. 2600k running 4.8 all core when stock max turbo is 3.8

[marsh sphinx]

I had overclocked all-core my R5 2600 to 4.2GHz, and I noticed a nice performance boost

[grave delta]

Wheras a 10900k all core turbo stock is 4.9 lol. Most can do 5.1 /5.2 with good cooling,

Something like a 2600 - I'd focus on ram tuning

[marsh sphinx]

yea I tried overclocking it but didnt mess with the timings since my knowledge on that isnt super great either

plus my ram kit is garbage and I couldn't even OC it past 200MHz

let alone mess with timings lol

[grave delta]

I still run my daily at stock/xmp lol, but I don't game on it so 🤷

[marsh sphinx]

tbh I haven't been playing many games either, im always too tired to play anything

[light bay]

Yeah my 5900k and 5950k are p good

I oc them on my b450 tomahawk max

With a argb black hyper 212

[grave delta]

Yeah, I meant that whole family

[dark notch]

same price as 8700k

but mobo was $$

only $50 more than 4790k

[grave delta]

Weird how they're differentiated by both the 8/9 in the SKU as well as the k/x when they're both haswell E, 4 channel, ht chips

[dark notch]

5820k was 6c12t no?

oh

5930k was a tiny bit faster

oh

5820k has less pcie

[marsh sphinx]

[dark notch]

5820k only 28 lanes

which is still plenty for SLI

16+8

and 4 to spare

[marsh sphinx]

exactly :(

the nearest MC to me is over 2 hours away

[spiral kelp]

[jolly inlet]

Nah call it giga center and make it warehouse style like Costco

[forest prairie]

I would call it stupendously large box store

[slow sluice]

Pity that mc doesn't do franchises

[slow sluice]

Just 10^-6, no fraction

[torpid night]

[grave delta]

Make or find one

[light bay]

Just make a emote with the words "devious lick" on it lmao

[marsh sphinx]

[grand orbit]

@west coral that ram has bad timings and exact same timings can be gotten for 10$ cheaper

[thick locust]

Nice deal? PNY GeForce GT 710 2GB Single Fan Graphics Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L6X8LGB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_6DS9PQRFVC0NBPK335T1

54 dollars

[warm thicket]

no lmao

[cinder tinsel]

I think integrated graphics is better

Newer integrated graphics is definitely better

710 is kinda known for being the worst card on the market

Like there is no reason to get it since the 1030 exists

[grand orbit]

Yeah uhd 630 is about 2x the perf of a 710

[minor lava]

..

[cinder tinsel]

Get the 5600g if you can afford it
