[lofty moss]

so comparing that to this one with the ti, i think i would go for the ti

[plain glade]

I agree, with the 200 extra he can buy a better case AND an SSD

[lofty moss]

only if you have more money

[plain glade]

Which is what I think he wanted

[rose timber]

I mean is the ti reall worth the 200 more still needing to upgrade storage regardless

[lofty moss]

the ti is a decent jump in perf

[azure pond]

yeah it is

[lofty moss]

i would say worth 200

but

if your out of money

and you have to use a 1080p 60hz tn panel

was it really worth it?

[plain glade]

And if you’re gonna go for the 3060 ti, it’s borderline overkill for 1080p

[rose timber]

😵‍💫

[light bay]

Nah I'd draw the line at 3070

[lofty moss]

unless you want 1080p 240

[azure pond]

disagree

[plain glade]

True, but only on certain games, he seems to like more intensive ones

[azure pond]

i struggle at 1080p with a 3060 ti to hit ultra 120fps

[brittle lagoon]

Same here.

[lofty moss]

once again, game dependant

[ebon stratus]

TheFartMaster#7423 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[brittle lagoon]

Depends on the game ofc, tarkov kinda hard to run

[plain glade]

Maybe I just play some bad games then

[light bay]

Based.

[plain glade]

Or watch them anyways

[brittle lagoon]

I struggle to get over 100fps at 1080p :(

[azure pond]

especially if you like rtx

with rtx on in cold war zombies i barely get 60fps

[lofty moss]

if hes got 1200 for the build, 60 for a 2TB HDD, and 170 for a monitor, plus like 100 or so for tax

then i would do that

[brittle lagoon]

ye

[lofty moss]

and get 3060 ti

if 1300 is your absolute limit, things are different

[rose timber]

Well i just meant like 1300 for the build alone

[light bay]

Is he building his own or prebuilt?

[lofty moss]

prebuilt

[light bay]

Oh

[lofty moss]

he could build himself, but ya know, gpus n all that

[rose timber]

The monitor if im going 1080 i assume i can stay sub 225

[plain glade]

He said he just got into pcs

[light bay]

He could do a good one for 1200

[ebon stratus]

xPuRpLePaNcAkEx#7561 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[light bay]

6700xt

[plain glade]

so building is sortve out the window unless he’s an amazing YouTube tutorial watcher

[brittle lagoon]

I mean, there's a first build for everyone

[rose timber]

Id deff break something

[lofty moss]

oh yeah, amd is like, in stock

[azure pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BBMWbK

[lofty moss]

nahhhhhh its super easy

[light bay]

Even try chances with AMD direct

[azure pond]

building yourself will be either cheaper or just as expensive as that pre built

[light bay]

It's a good chance

$480 6700xt

[azure pond]

if you feel comfortable building yourself, if you can snag a card from amd direct, best buy or evga you can save quite a bit

and evga is dropping more constantly

amd direct is getting better supply

@rose timber

[lofty moss]

plus we can pick parts that make it super easy and not complicate things

[azure pond]

theres also this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bqGZfv

$470 6600xt

[light bay]

But 10th gen old

[azure pond]

thats actually great

[azure pond]

10400f fine for a 3070 ti

[lofty moss]

12400f is where it at tho

[light bay]

Ye

[lofty moss]

single core go brazzy

[azure pond]

eh

for a 6600xt its more than fine

id save the money for the other parts

[plain glade]

y’all think I can run a 3070 with a 600 bronze

[rose timber]

Which video card would be better?

[azure pond]

i mean depends on the psu if its smart

but yes

[light bay]

Depends on the bronze

[lofty moss]

the 6700xt

[plain glade]

3070>6700xt , 6700xt > 3060

something like that

[azure pond]

6600xt is about equal to a 2080, 3060 ti to a 2080 super, 3070 to a 2080 ti

6700xt is somewhere between 3060 ti and 3070

depends who you ask

[rose timber]

Odd that the 3060 ti is $200 more

[light bay]

It's cause it's nvidia

[azure pond]

3060 is about equal to a 2070

[light bay]

Nvidia cards are generally worse value rn

[plain glade]

I’m running a evga with a 9600k + 1070, so I got a little wiggle room but I’m scared that if I go under load it’s gonna explode with a 3070

[azure pond]

an evga what

[plain glade]

ion know

[light bay]

Except the 3070ti EVGA drops, those are good value

[lofty moss]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P5-3785-KL

[light bay]

Yeah ^

[plain glade]

“EVGA BA 600 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

[lofty moss]

its not like PSUs are expensive or hard to come by

just replace it lol

[plain glade]

Agreed but all that work man

[lofty moss]

lol

with a 3070 it would probably be alright

[stoic crest]

eh modular psus exist

you don't have to deal with all cables

[light bay]

What tier is it?

[lofty moss]

plus it gives you an excuse to clean it out

[stoic crest]

^

[rose timber]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bqGZfv. So this the move then?

[lofty moss]

the BA? i thought it was b

[light bay]

Huh

[lofty moss]

its

alright

[light bay]

I'm gonna bet c

[lofty moss]

probably

lol

[plain glade]

hey stop tier listing my psu ad give me advice

[azure pond]

my experience with evga bronze psus left me less than satisfied ima be honest

[lofty moss]

I vaguely remember encountering the BAs before

[azure pond]

the tier list is part of it...

[lofty moss]

thought they were mid but usable

[azure pond]

the tier is how good the psu is

[plain glade]

ohhhh

[lofty moss]

nah gimme a moment

[rose timber]

Uh ohhh

[lofty moss]

you need wifi?

[azure pond]

assuming your hard limit is 1200 for the entire setup, yes

[lofty moss]

or do you use an ethernet cable?

[lofty moss]

nah stop suggesting 10th gen

[azure pond]

my guy

[lofty moss]

L

[rose timber]

😂

[azure pond]

just because it isnt the newest doesnt mean its bad

its all relative

[lofty moss]

do you need wifi

[rose timber]

Id rather not but i can

[lofty moss]

or do you use ethernet

[azure pond]

if you want the 12400f, then here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BbqZfv

[lofty moss]

ethernet better

[azure pond]

oh wait

[rose timber]

Id like both but ik eth better

[lofty moss]

obv

[azure pond]

thats with a 500gb mp33

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MVJ3tn there

[rose timber]

Alright so this is the move 😂

[azure pond]

if you can go above 1200 for the whole setup, yes

my understanding was it was a hard limit

[plain glade]

Not sure if this help but I saw this combo https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4486907

[rose timber]

Yea i wanted to stay under 1200 for the desktop

[lofty moss]

also, 1tb of ssd for most people is overkill

fyi

was there any specific reason you wanted that much ssd?

[rose timber]

Im assuming the monitor would be like 200 since im only doing 24” 1080 so 1400-1500 pre tax

[lofty moss]

like for certain games

[rose timber]

Well before my one x got the red ring of death i had 1tb and could only hold like 5-6 AAA titles (warzone,gta,rdr2,forza,warthunder,seaofthieves) and 2or 3 360 games tht only take like 8gb

[lofty moss]

yeah, thats what HDDs are for

all those games

you can get 2TB for 45 dollars

my 4.6k setup only has 512gb of ssd

[rose timber]

What just get and external plug in hdd?

[azure pond]

you can get an internal hdd

[plain glade]

or an internal

[lofty moss]

no! you put it in the case

[azure pond]

you can have more than 1 internal drive

[light bay]

Nah nah nah

At HDD price just grab a 2tb 970 Evo plus and then you'll be better off

One drive for whole pc

[azure pond]

fair

people have been saying theyre having issues with it though

[light bay]

What issues?

It's a great Sammy drive

[azure pond]

no like

ordering it

[plain glade]

this poor guy

[light bay]

Oh

I ordered one yesterday for $129.99

[rose timber]

Ik I am so sorry guys 😦

[azure pond]

.

[lofty moss]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KmnRk9

so

[light bay]

Maybe it's related to payment method

[azure pond]

why that motherboard over b660 prime

[light bay]

Their site is also prolly flooded

[azure pond]

and rmx 650 is $60

[light bay]

H670 better chipset

[lofty moss]

same price

[lofty moss]

rev df better tho

O_O

[azure pond]

theyre both A tier

[light bay]

Basically same thing

[lofty moss]

is it?

[azure pond]

yes

[lofty moss]

i can switch it

[fleet marlin]

I bought Asus VG259QR for $206 https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-1080P-Monitor-VG259QR/dp/B08K2GYHD8
240hz is excessive depending on gpu and settings, but:

[rose timber]

Also guys i really do apologize one of the last times used a pc for gaming i was playing tonka build it! In 2003

[fleet marlin]

that and/or the samsung site just being dumb, but it's been hounded. 200+ comments on the reddit thread for it. I have a pending paypal pay in4 charge, but not getting my hopes up.

[lofty moss]

that RMX 650 is 20 off with mail in rebate ;-;

[azure pond]

bitfenix formual gold 750 is the same price as the d.f then, if you dont like mail in rebaits

id take the extra 100w for the asme price then

[lofty moss]

nobody does mir

such a hassle

[fleet marlin]

Yep, plus considering MIR is to a specific company that's not amazon/newegg, etc, it's often never of use. That DF w/ 3 pcie ports could potentially handle a future badarse GPU.

[lofty moss]

ya know what nvm im sticking with my rev df recommendation

[azure pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

wait

wrong link

[lofty moss]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KmnRk9 @rose timber so this list is pretty good for 1075, after tax prolly closer to 1200

[azure pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2pqZfv

[lofty moss]

then the g24f is 170 open box on newegg

[azure pond]

why not take the "free" 100watts?

[lofty moss]

because its non modular 🤢

the whisper m is modular

[azure pond]

oh i thought it was semi

[lofty moss]

nope

just a pita

[azure pond]

https://www.servers4less.com/accessories/power-supplies/evga-220g20750xr?honestly id just get this. best psu

very cheap too

[lofty moss]

LMAO

truee.

[fleet marlin]

nice spam, lol

[azure pond]

happy?

[lofty moss]

ironic domain name

[azure pond]

mm

alr im out

[lofty moss]

also @rose timber dont actually buy through pcpartpicker

[rose timber]

What a decision the prices varies by pennies

[lofty moss]

manually add these items to your cart

[lofty moss]

theres more to it than cost, some things are worth paying more for

[rose timber]

Urs right

[lofty moss]

even if they look like the same thing from the outside

[rose timber]

Bc its modular

[lofty moss]

also 3 of those items are on amazon, so just buy em on amazon

[rose timber]

Whats the packing like my ups/amazon guys are savages

[lofty moss]

eh

i would assume its good enough

[rose timber]

Lol yea i figured this gonna be Russian roulette

[lofty moss]

it always is

[rose timber]

Idk the last few boxs ive bought from amazon were pretty messed up even ordered a book that looked like it was literally ran over and just put back in box

But eh theyre smaller so maybe they wont

[rose timber]

Odd shows me 2 which parts are on amazon im trying to add them not

[lofty moss]

oh huh

i swear there was 3

welp

[rose timber]

Do i need to buy windows or anything?

[lofty moss]

you can just run it unlicensed

nothing is stopping you from doing so

ms literally gives you the windows installer for free, you just need an 8gb usb to boot from

[fleet marlin]

Perhaps prices changed. Build list just often shows the where stuff is lowest priced. @rose timber here's 2 things that are similar price, but slightly more $$. edit: there's no harm running w/o a key, and there's various (semi) legal ways to get a key for 1/2 price or less.

[rose timber]

I mean if geting windows just gives me word paint and annoying security pop ups then i dont see a point bc i can still do everything

[lofty moss]

running without a product key gives you an activate windows watermark on the screen

thats p much it

[rose timber]

I dont need $200 worth of antivirus right lol

[ebon stratus]

@robust leaf deal* discussion here. Code works til maybe April 1st, but having an order go through is the real issue. Maybe 2% of people have had success. I read most of the 200+ messages on the reddit thread for it.

[light bay]

yeah

site seems to be gettin flooded sadly

[robust leaf]

Thanks for answering

[fleet marlin]

Also I do have a pending charge from Paypal pay in4 for this, but it's probably just a temporary charge and might go away.

[quick stump]

Any good laptop recommendations under 1000€ for a student?

[jolly inlet]

Depends, what kind of student? The kind that only needs MS Word or the kind that's doing 3D model rendering?

[quick stump]

MS Word, I don't need it to be extremely powerful just good quality and for it to last a while

[jolly inlet]

@viscid cloud This is a better place to ask, #tech-deals is only for posting deals. I know the earlier chatter makes that confusing.

[marsh sphinx]

I should probably start including links in my messages

lol

[grand orbit]

It tends to help

[opal flume]

@versed escarp Discussion of tech deals go here 😩

[versed escarp]

Samsung code doesn’t work they killed it. Please dont spend 10 minutes if your time trying to purchase it.

[marsh sphinx]

Hey, we don’t make the rules lol

[pulsar fable]

Ok, so the code can be still be entered on the website but it just won't work?

[azure pond]

BEST BUY DROP

@fathom nebula

looks no like no fe cards

[grand orbit]

I'm guessing they're complaining that the code is expired lmao?

[pulsar fable]

Maybe, I was asking because I went to the samsung website and I can still enter the code, so I was confused when people were saying they pulled the plug on it

[grand orbit]

Idk maybe they're a different country or something lol

[pulsar fable]

All i know is that once I saw that the deal was on reddit, that marked the end for people like me having a chance to get it

even edited carts from tech support wont help get an order through

[grand orbit]

Lol is samsungs payment system just packed?

[pulsar fable]

Maybe, but 24 hours of trying to get this stupid item is eating away at mine (and my father's) soul

[grand orbit]

Ripirino

[versed escarp]

Correct. You can enter the code and it will take the price and bring it down to $149 but when you go to check out it throws errors so I got on chat support with them and they said it’s a bad code.

Tried yesterday and again today

[fleet marlin]

So would the order go through w/o the code? I just figured Samsung.com was overwhelmed since the reddit thread. I still have a pending Paypal (pay in 4) charge, but it's false hope probably.

[versed escarp]

Sure will go thru without the code but I don’t think it’s that enticing without it :-))

[grand orbit]

Still very good for 180

Even good at 200

[azure pond]

@marsh sphinx price

[marsh sphinx]

Mb

Thanks

[fleet marlin]

Yea $180 for those edu emails. Indeed at $200 I'd pass because would be $190ish at Amazon for me any day. Gonna try coupon 1 more time then let it go.
EDIT, code is totally dead btw.

[marsh sphinx]

i swear i forget something every time

[azure pond]

Dw I've done it plenty

[south grove]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

3090ti

such a affordable card

[marsh sphinx]

i miss the 1080ti

[south grove]

mhm

[stoic crest]

pascal was when nvidia priced their cards too low

1080ti was too good

and it still is decent

[civic sun]

Well I wouldn't say too low

[stoic crest]

699 tho

it's a bit low for how much prowess it offers

[cloud hornet]

$700 was higher then average

Flagship single die GTX cards: $499 GTX480, $499 GTX580, $499 GTX680, $699 GTX780Ti, $649 GTX980Ti, $699 GTX1080Ti

[stoic crest]

2080ti did the huge jump i suppose

and it went up from there

3090ti rn is.. so expensive

[cloud hornet]

1080Ti perf jump wasnt really an anomaly either. Lots of generations had a ~50% best case raster perf jump on their single die flagships, Pascal was like 60% or smth.

Average game perf jump was only a bit better comparative to other generations

[jolly inlet]

3090 tie is a joke. Nvidia wanted a card that could keep the top of the charts against the upcoming 6950 XT.

[cunning breach]

Guys

Which is worth getting more. A 1600 Watt titanium power supply or a Ryzen 5950x

I can only get one

[grand orbit]

Definitely not a 1600w... What do you have now and what's your budget

And what do you use your pc for

[cunning breach]

The idea is to future proof my pc when it comes to power supply

[cunning breach]

600

[grand orbit]

1600w is so high wattage that it costs more than what a 1000w would be now + a 1600w when /if it becomes relevant imo

Also what about the other q's

[cunning breach]

Gaming, editing videos, and school work

[cunning breach]

I can get one for 490$ the EVGA one. I’m only thinking of getting such a high Wattage so I have so much room for over clocking in the future

[grand orbit]

What do you have now tho

Overclocking doesn't need that high of a power supply unless you're using a very high wattage cpu and multiple high wattage gpus

maybe replace psu list with https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[pulsar fable]

bookmarked

[cunning breach]

Ryzen. 7 5800 x

And 850 PSU

[grand orbit]

gpu?

[cunning breach]

3080 Ti

[grand orbit]

what do you do with your pc?

also what ram?

sounds like theres no point in you upgrading unless you do multi core workloads

[pulsar fable]

Unless you're planning on getting a high end rtx 4k series, I don't think 1600w is necessary. But that's just my two sense (two cents?)

[azure pond]

1600w still wouldn't be necessary

4090 ti won't use more than 600w

[grand orbit]

leaked wattage is a max of like 600w.... nothing a 1200w couldnt handle

[azure pond]

Maybe spikes up to 700 at the very most, and even these are high estimates

[pulsar fable]

Oh thanks for the numbers

[cunning breach]

32 gb 3600 mhz

[azure pond]

A 1200w would be more than enough for a 13900k and 4090 ti

[grand orbit]

you just game?

youre perfectly fine just wait then if so

[cunning breach]

Gaming, editing videos, and school work

[azure pond]

He said editing videos and school work

But both are less intensive than gaming

[pulsar fable]

What is school work?

Just wondering

Like, 3d modeling?

[azure pond]

Imo you won't see much improvement from your current cpu

Not anything worth the price anyways

And the psu is way overkill

And it'll be cheaper by the time it becomes relevant, if ever

[grand orbit]

just wait

[pulsar fable]

Was just looking at the #tech-deals and found that x570 Mobo. While I trust the rebate will go through, looking at the reviews doesn't give me hope.

[azure pond]

Which x570?

Ah, mpg

[pulsar fable]

https://www.newegg.com/msi-mpg-x570-gaming-edge-wifi/p/N82E16813144319?Item=N82E16813144319&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-13-144-319-_-03292022

[azure pond]

I've no clue about it, but b550s tend to be better

[grand orbit]

what dont you trust? its a decent board and AMAZING for 50$

[pulsar fable]

The reviews are claiming things like broken pcie lanes or broken nvme slots

[azure pond]

Sounds like a simple rma fix

[pulsar fable]

It's refurb. Doesn't that disqualify it from rma?

[cloud hornet]

Also, people run 600w 3090s (liquid cooled XOC vBIOS) on 850w PSUs

[grand orbit]

yes although they will get shutoffs now and a gain lol but was being generous with a high power cpu too

[grand orbit]

ehhh worst case scenario return to newegg

[cloud hornet]

Havent heard of shutoffs happening in that scenario, unless one has an objectively bad PSU (either actually bad or really sensitive OCP)

[grand orbit]

i have especially on 850w's because of the power spikes

[brittle lagoon]

Do remember tripping on focus based units and such are from separate issues

[cloud hornet]

Yeah I'd put that under objectively bad PSUs

iirc even some semi-popular 1kw PSUs from EVGA or Seasonic had issues on 450w - 520w 3090s (werent terrible, but dont think they were high ranking PSUs)

[inner grove]

It's on bstock for 50 is it worth it?

[brittle lagoon]

If you need an okay psu, it'll work

[lofty moss]

yeah, pretty good for 50 dollar

ofc that 1 year warranty should tell you how long to expect out of it

oh wait no, its b stock

[jolly inlet]

It'll probably last longer than that, it's basically a refurb is all

[grand orbit]

or damaged cosmetic wise right?

[lofty moss]

ahh they usually give it a 7 year warranty

so yeah absolutely worth 50

[shut lava]

Newegg actually put the ASRock OC Formula on sale for real this time instead of marking up the price for 24 hours and "reducing" it back to the regular price like they have done twice a month since October 2021.

[azure pond]

also cheap 3060 tis and 3070s now

nvm 3060 tis oos

3070 xc3 for 650

[vale onyx]

Is 1200cad an okay deal for 3080LRH 10gb?

[azure pond]

eh

not bad ig

[vale onyx]

So okay but not good

[azure pond]

i mean

i think the shortage in canada isnt as bad as in the US

but i could be wrong on that

i think its decent

[marsh sphinx]

probably more expensive tho

[light bay]

@marsh sphinx

what does Bh really mean?

wouldnt be bstock right?

[marsh sphinx]

Don’t think it’s b stock

could be anything i personally haven’t seen it yet

[light bay]

some context would be neat

[azure pond]

it seems like it was returned and the box was damaged or smthn like that?

[light bay]

idk tbh

[marsh sphinx]

Idek

Figured it would be a good heads up for people who are looking at one with a -BH tag

[fleet marlin]

Or don't. $1200 for used w/o a box or access, lol. Edit: $1200 gets a new msi gaming z trio right now, before $100ish mir. 👍 remember it's money grab folks. $300+ more than most 10GB models.

[marsh sphinx]

Didnt mean that the gpu was a deal, sry

just meant the heads up for the added tag that there wouldnt be boxes with some gpus but i guess everyone took it their own way

[fleet marlin]

Me too, thought it was on the main thread. There are deffo some well priced b stock stuff sometimes

[marsh sphinx]

Well

Gpus and no longer unobtanium

[grand orbit]

It's better in the US than anywhere else.... Evga is dropping 2-3 times a week there when in eu queue is only way and it's still closed to new members

[grand orbit]

us gets the most stock out of any county even %/demand wise for some reason

Ye big sadge

[cloud hornet]

CAN gets less stock, but way better AIB prices

Also means better third market prices
Now might be pretty close to US tho cuz of price changes and such. FE prices are higher cuz BB be scalping, AMD Ref cards are same price cuz AMD good.

[azure pond]

Apparently best buy did an online FE drop earlier

Non total tech

[azure pond]

Best buy might be dropping in waves

Thry did an fe drop and then dropped like 6 non fe cards about 40min later

Could've also just been canceled orders

[chilly hemlock]

Is this a good price for the 1650?
($160)

[grand orbit]

That's decent

[chilly hemlock]

Awsomee

[south grove]

Fr

[meager vessel]

I've been looking at the Adamant built workstations on Newegg. I can't find but 2-3 reviews about the company .
Anyone have any info or recommends on these builders?

[jolly inlet]

Mostly gamers here, I'm not sure how many would be familiar with workstation SIs

[meager vessel]

sorry, my 1st time on here, I believe they build game machines also but I'm not sure.

[azure pond]

would you be comfortable with building yourself?

[grand orbit]

What kind of work are you looking to do and what's your budget?

[brittle lagoon]

And I would probably reccomend puget systems as a workstation SI

[meager vessel]

I have built before but this time I'd just like to get something in and running. I do photography and some video. I'd like the ability to run LR and PS at the same time. Maybe have a browser or some other app open at the same time.
I am looking at a system with a Ryzen 5900, 64 GB ram, 1tb SSD, 5tb HHD, Quadro T600 4Gb 4x

[grand orbit]

Uhh from my knowledge a graphics card doesn't help PS or LR

[marsh sphinx]

basically everything else does

Minus psu and motherboard

[grand orbit]

Honestly for stuff like that I'd just build yourself and get a system with intel integrated graphics or get someone like newegg eniac to build it for you

[fair moon]

Iirc Lightroom does have some GPU support but even then it's not very gpu heavy

And I believe Photoshop is almost completely CPU

And ram

Lots of ram

[jolly inlet]

The funny thing is that the $2k 3090 ti is still cheaper than a lot of 3090s at retail

[fleet marlin]

What's funny is how many people spend twice what a 3080 often costs to get those 2 top tier models, especially when how not so far away 40 series is.

[jolly inlet]

That too. And it's totally not worth paying almost triple cost for a 3090 over a 3080 when it's maybe 8% better

[dim bay]

Ye, and if you look hard enough you can find 6900 xts for 1200 USD or less

Unless someone wants an Nvidia card instead which is somewhat understandable

[dim dagger]

consider a deal?

CAD btw

[marsh sphinx]

sure it’s roughly evga price

[dim dagger]

wait a minute

this is better

[cloud hornet]

Lower then CAN BB FE price lol

[dim dagger]

YEAH

IKR

[cloud hornet]

Third market prices really pulled it off I guess. CHWS has 3080Tis going for $1700 - $1800 CAD which is lower then post tax price for many CAN places.

[dim dagger]

Companies did say they'll reduce pricing

[marsh sphinx]

less people in canada = less gpu buyers

[stoic crest]

That gpu deal

6700xt for about $800 in cad

Is this a joke?

[obsidian lodge]

found some kinda suspicious looking deals

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gaming-PC-RTX-2060-Super-Alienware-Aurora-R12-i5-11400F-8GB-RAM-1TB-HDD-Win10/165408448269

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gaming-PC-GTX-1080-Alienware-Aurora-R12-Intel-i5-11400F-8GB-RAM-1TB-HDD-Win10/165408439753

they literally have some of the same pics

and they're from the same guy

the internals are different on each pic but I don't know why they wouldn't take unique pictures for both of them

coupled with the fact that the description is clearly copy pasted and the price idk

I thought I'd let you guys look

[marsh sphinx]

Even i wouldn’t want to go there

Long drive

[grand orbit]

It's normal price yeah lol

[grand orbit]

Sus don't buy either - i mean they'd need to be a good deal to buy Alienware anyway

[stoic crest]

that alienware is indeed very sus

1080 obviously doesn't come with somethin with 11400f from factory

gpu got swapped

[grand orbit]

for the better

[stoic crest]

but would it even be able to keep the gpu cool?

[grand orbit]

Still no unless the gpu screams at.100% fans

[oak sentinel]

Might need to oc fans actually

[grand orbit]

Lel

[cloud hornet]

Kinda sorta. First party MSRP wise was, but third market prices are typically pretty low. Ref 6700xt lasted on CHWS for quite a while at $700 CAD. One off "deal", but eh.

[grand orbit]

Ohh that's nice... I was referring to retail tho but that's a yikes

[obsidian lodge]

I mean it’s a crazy good deal like 600 or 800 for all those parts

That’s the only reason I was considering either

[grand orbit]

yeah those prices are decent but i would be suspicios with those pics and especially the 1080 one

[obsidian lodge]

Yeah I really wasn’t gonna go for it it’s way too untrustworthy

https://www.ebay.com/itm/234472888526?hash=item3697ac58ce:g:posAAOSwH4JiNSbG

This one seems much more reasonable

[light bay]

Hell nah that's horrible

[marsh sphinx]

gtx 970

bruh

you could get like 10400f/1650s for like $550 and thats still not really worth thinking about

[jolly inlet]

And the 1650 super would be more powerful too

[light bay]

And you wouldn't be paying for ewaste

Double win

[marsh sphinx]

wouldnt be paying for an oven

[obsidian lodge]

True alright

[dim ingot]

I think the most affordable prebuilts are on NZXT

[jolly inlet]

Eh, sometimes

Often it's ABS

[dim ingot]

Also good.

[marsh sphinx]

nzxt has semi-affordable ones but you also get nzxt parts.

it was a better choice during the height of the gpu drought when prebuilts were the only option

[dim ingot]

I do like the way the HP Omen looks

[marsh sphinx]

the new ones

the 30L

those are actually not bad

no proprietary parts and a decent case

this is coming from someone with a first gen HP pavilion gaming prebuilt

[dim ingot]

big price tag though for some people.

30L is beautiful, though.

https://www.newegg.com/hp-omen-30l/p/3D5-0005-00XV2

looks like lots of airflow on top of the liquid cooling

[grave delta]

@dim ingot Why pay 192 for an 8TB lol

[jolly inlet]

Ooh that SAS drive is tempting for my home server. It's a repurposed workstation so it has SAS onboard.

[grave delta]

@jolly inlet Another good option https://www.ebay.com/itm/304271240063

[jolly inlet]

$15 per TB, nice

And uses 1.5A

[grave delta]

@solemn forge use this channel

[solemn forge]

hit me up with them dell percs 💀

[grave delta]

Those cards are great, I used to use one in a file server.

H310 on the left, HP SAS expander on the right https://i.imgur.com/MPSSfQf.jpg

[marsh sphinx]

so much ram

[grave delta]

16 whole gigabytes of ddr2 800 mhz

[marsh sphinx]

Wow

[plain sphinx]

that deal for 300 for a 3050, is that worth gettin or keep waiting for the 3060ti to come in stock for 170 more?

[marsh sphinx]

3050 and 3060ti are for different markets

what resolution are you playing and what games

[plain sphinx]

i play lol, runescape, and some minor games, but i also do 3d modeling for fun (thats the real reason i want a card tbh, some programs require them now)

[marsh sphinx]

3050 should be enough for that

Lol doesn’t even need a dedicated graphics card

Same for runescape i’m p sure

[plain sphinx]

its over the 6gb so it works for blender so thats my main thing atm XD

[marsh sphinx]

3050 will be fine for 3d modeling if you’re just doing it for fun and not for work

Yeah you’re fine i use a 4gb card with blender and i survive

[plain sphinx]

sweet, iv been getitn by with my ryz 5 5600 and 64 gb ram for awhile till that darn update lol

also is display port 1.2 and 1.4 compatable? i just noticed my screen is 1.2

[marsh sphinx]

Yeah it’s fine

1.4 just has higher bandwidth capabilities

shouldn’t matter at all

[plain sphinx]

sweet, ill give it ago! bought and waiting 🙂

[marsh sphinx]

@grave delta that sas drive is a good find

ive been trying to find good speed focused sas drives that arent super expensive, heck, i'd even get them used since they're just for a fun project

[dim ingot]

Helium. And reliable

[fleet marlin]

If short term purchase, 3050. If longer term, 3060/Ti. 👍

[azure pond]

[azure pond]

@grand orbit can we get a delete

or @steel sapphire

thanks

[grand orbit]

Thanks

[slow sluice]

F#

[azure pond]

The new 5000 series cpus are in stock at micro center 👀

5700x for 300

5500 for 160 kekw

5600 for 200

Which is funny, considering the 5600x is in stock commonly for 210

[boreal depot]

Question bigger number = better CPU?

So the 5700 is like better than the 5600?

How that work

[cloud hornet]

Kinda sorta. Usually larger number means more cores and/or better quality cores. It isnt always definite, such as changes between architectures. R9 3950x will be better then R3 4100 for example.

[boreal depot]

Ah I see

[cloud hornet]

Also depends on workload and where the bottleneck is (every PC at any workload will have a bottleneck). iirc 5900x is best gaming Zen3 CPU despite 5950x having more cores due to boosting behaviors (might be wrong, cant remember gaming perf off top of my head, also Intel ALD is now the better gaming CPU so kinda dont try to remember Zen3 stuff anymore).

[boreal depot]

Kk

[marsh sphinx]

not always but for a given generation (like zen 3) yes that’s kinda how it works. so to answer your second question yes the 5700 is better than the 5600

[boreal depot]

Thx

[cloud hornet]

Worth noting that you can see different archs in a generation. Also different types of designs. 5600G and 5500 are laptop Zen3 SKUs which are vastly different then 5600(x). Or you can look at R5 1600AE which is Zen and 1600AF which is Zen+ (a R5 2600 more or less). Ryzen Athlons have typically been one generation older then what they are currently in (200GE is part of the 2000 series but is Zen).

[marsh sphinx]

^ good point but lengthy for me to want to type out 😂

[grand orbit]

1600 af*

Wait what

There's a 1600 ae too?

[cloud hornet]

AE is first gen

AF is second gen

[grand orbit]

Bruh

[civic sun]

lol

most people don't use the name for first that's why

[cloud hornet]

People only start using AE name after AF came out

[grand orbit]

Whyyyyy

To confuse people

I literally never heard of ae

[cloud hornet]

AE was always part of the model number

1600AF

[grand orbit]

I see but like why call first one ae lol

[cloud hornet]

Only difference in the model names. Also might relate to arch used

[azure pond]

Lmao, $410 3050 at my local bb

[pulsar fable]

Is that good or bad

I'm still recovering from when my brothers 1660ti was worth almost $800

[gusty willow]

could be worse could've been a 6500xt for 370 at mine

[grand orbit]

WHAT

[grand orbit]

bad... 350 one one wegg rn, there was an itx for 300 on wegg the other day

[light bay]

I call cap

There's a difference between listing price and what people actually buy for

No way someone would ever pay $800 for a 1660ti

[marsh sphinx]

1660ti could have been worth $600 max but i wouldn’t even believe $600

$500 is more reasonable given that a 1650 was worth $300 at some point

[pulsar fable]

Oh dammit my memory is already failing me. $800 was for the full system with a 1660ti

[marsh sphinx]

Is it corsair?

Sorry terrible joke

[pulsar fable]

Terrible but still funny

[marsh sphinx]

[pulsar fable]

I forget what it was, but we found it at an old video game store/electronics repair shop

Someone didn't want it I guess

All I remember is that it has a 3600 in it

I'd need to get a good look at it for specs and "manufacturer"

[marsh sphinx]

I still have a 1070 😔

[azure pond]

I mean, nearly everything but case and psu can be seen in system info

[pulsar fable]

No I physically can't see the system. I'd need to go to his room and look at the machine. I'm currently at college

[azure pond]

Ahh

[marsh sphinx]

Don't worry I'll go for you

[azure pond]

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-5700X-16-Thread-Unlocked-Processor/dp/B09VCHQHZ6/ mmmmm

Tasty

and yes i know 12600kf is still better value

im expecting 5700x price to come down quickly from msrp

[static star]

ok my bad

[fleet marlin]

12600K was an extra good deal when Newegg had it for $230

[azure pond]

nah, 5800x for 450 is a better deal

or even better 3600 for 300 from amazon

[light bay]

12600kf kinda bad value imo

[azure pond]

this is great too https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3234ZO9HL0TJE&keywords=ryzen+3600&qid=1649117059&sprefix=ryzen+3600%2Caps%2C71&sr=8-3

[light bay]

12600k is like 10 bucks more

Plus you get igp and that opens up quicksync and all that great stuff

[azure pond]

eh, i just said the f variant since the amd equivelants dont have igpus

[light bay]

Sounds like a Ryzen moment

[fleet marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-14359850

[azure pond]

evga borked for me

was gonna grab a 2060

for 320

[shut lava]

The 2060s sold out fast it seems.

[azure pond]

i just cant get on the site anymore

[shut lava]

No idea why, the site works fine for me.

[azure pond]

i got a 2060 to cart

was ordering it

and site timed out

[shut lava]

Did you try deleting cookies for EVGA's site then go back?

Some peoel said their anti bot thing blocks people with a cookie if they hit refresh too often.

[azure pond]

nah i didnt

too late anyways

ill try it next time

didnt work tho

just tried it

works on my phone

maybe not

just lagging now and wont go to checkout

[azure pond]

evga decided to work

grabbed the 1650s for 175

better than a $210 1650

[marsh sphinx]

Nice

at least it’s 1650S

[azure pond]

Yeah... only issue is apparently their psu might not have any extra cables on it

Guess I'll find out when I go visit next week

[marsh sphinx]

I mean if it’s over 300w it has to… or else wtf are you going to use more than 300W on without pcie cables

[light bay]

its funny how bstock psus are still bad value

just like evga psus in general normally

[marsh sphinx]

Lmao yeah

Last i recall evga isn’t really worth getting

[light bay]

some of theirs are decent

[marsh sphinx]

Like the product isn’t too good and it doesn’t help the pricing sucks

[light bay]

esp in other countries

[marsh sphinx]

They have a ton of bombs

[light bay]

usa just doesnt have great evga pricing on psus

yeah their w1/n1

[marsh sphinx]

lmao

[light bay]

ngl $30 for a bomb isnt a bad deal

[marsh sphinx]

yeah just use lower power components

I mean if you only have $30 for a psu you probably have low power / performing components anyways

[light bay]

a cx550f isnt much more tho

and way way better psu

[marsh sphinx]

that is facts

[light bay]

you gotta question if your whole pc is worth more than the $20 difference

if the answer is yes, then you should step up above "bomb" tier

[azure pond]

There was an A tier 850w for $70 one time

And a B tier 750 for 45

But otherwise pretty much

[azure pond]

Fair, but i technichally don't know the wattage

All I know is it's atleast 200w, since it can give 75w to gpu and like 80w to cpu

Might just look for a dirt cheap c tier or low priority b

Like $35 450w or smthn

[grand orbit]

Could prolly do molex to 8 pin if no pcie power

[azure pond]

Does molex to 6 pin exist?

[grand orbit]

Yee

[azure pond]

Are they psu specific or universal? I've been tryna stay away from molex because of what I've heard about it

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Pack-Molex-Inches/dp/B01DV1Z22K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?

[grand orbit]

As long as its not pulling more power than molex should handle you're fine

[azure pond]

Maybe should get a bit longer lol

But smthn like that?

[grand orbit]

I would see how many separate connecters - not daisy chained they have

[azure pond]

Alr

[azure pond]

How does molex work?

Do they plug into half of a connector on the psu or smthn?

[grand orbit]

Huh?

[azure pond]

Where do molex cables plug into

[grand orbit]

Uhh nowhere on a modern system

[azure pond]

So then how would a molex to 6 pin help? Is it likely not a modern psu?

The builds from early 2020

[grand orbit]

No on the psus usually

Just not in pcs

[azure pond]

Ah

[azure pond]

That z690/12400 ddr5 bundle isn't that bad on newegg shell shockers

Still nkt as good as getting a ddr4 version but pretty decent

[grand orbit]

Can you link? I'm curious

Also z690 12400 ddr5 kinda sad combo

[azure pond]

No yeah terrible pairing

But considering ddr5 prices I think it's all below msrp

Won't let me link so here

$550 after combo

12400+b660 prime +$55 3200c16 still much better

[grand orbit]

Oh god 8gb sticks of ddr5 are cursed

Nono

Half the banks it's supposed to have

[azure pond]

oh really?

i just thought it was stupid didnt know it was bad

[grand orbit]

Yeah

[azure pond]

@grand orbit is the segotep gp 700w lower tier than the 600?

It's $55 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D3Q2YZ7?

Was just curious

[grand orbit]

What model?

Gp? Still b tier afaik

[azure pond]

Good price then

[grand orbit]

Yeah

[oak sentinel]

gp 700 w is b tier

lower wattage gp is apparantly c tier

[azure pond]

600w is b tier too i thought?

[shut lava]

I noticed that some of the EVGA B Stock prices on older generation stuff are a bit high when you consider how mny RTX 3000 series cards are in stock at various retailers now.

[grand orbit]

Yeah that's odd

Now if evga would kindly do a goddam drop in eu ☺️

[shut lava]

$1349 for a B stock 2080 ti when they have the 3080 12GB and 3080 ti in stock for a similar price.

The B stock Titan Black card price is comical.

[slender spoke]

Hi guys i'm "new" on this group, I hope that you're all having a good day ☺️☺️

[marsh sphinx]

Hello

There’s more activity in #general-chat at the moment if you’re wanting to talk to others

[slender spoke]

I tought to write there because I have a tought about the new gpus and I Was wondering if I Was right or not

[grand orbit]

Shoot your question

[slender spoke]

My tought Was about my pc, which i build in June 2021 and now has a i5 10400f and a 1650 and I Was thinking about upgrading the GPU because as you know is pretty old, so I Was looking for a 3060ti and noticed that the recommended wattage of the psu Was of 750 and mine is of 500, do you think that I would be able to run it anyway at 100% or I should go for another GPU or change also the psu?

Sorry if it's pretty long

[azure pond]

youll be fine on the 500

i ran my 60 ti on a 500 for months without issue

[azure pond]

on the other hand, this is a good psu and is pretty cheap

if you end up wanting to replace it

[true agate]

Oh also

That is the lowest price right now

There is another for 5% off

It’s 15.99

So you end up saving a couple cents

[slender spoke]

Ok, thank you very much, I Was worried, because I didn't Want to change for the 5th time the cable for my pc 😂😂

[tiny heron]

That mouse has been on my wishlist for awhile 🤣

[true agate]

It’s a great time to buy

[slender spoke]

Which mouse?

[true agate]

5% off

All metal skin

[tiny heron]

Hopefully it will work with my samsung dex

[slender spoke]

Wait are there mouse not compatible with dex?

[tiny heron]

I've just never tried wireless with a dex station

[true agate]

Yo I don’t want to spam tech channel so here is another good deal rn

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GHBUTK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_42K3ZS983371V9MVRS15

Logi presentation remote

For $24

$29*

[slender spoke]

Cool

[grand orbit]

Recommend for 3060 ti is 650w but no you'd wanna upgrade psu

[slender spoke]

BTW i use my g305 on dex with no problem at all

[slender spoke]

Thanks

[azure pond]

why?

500 is fine for a 60 ti with a 10400f

together they use like 350w at the very most

even thats pushing it

[grand orbit]

Ehh in theory kinda

[grand orbit]

Ehhh

[azure pond]

my 60 ti was fine with my 3600 on a 500w white for months, and i even oced the 3060 ti a bit (not properly, i just moved some sliders in afterburner lol)

another 1650s in b stock for 175

still not great

but not terrible

so pato

with the molex to pcie, you said look at how many empty slots on their psu right?

[grand orbit]

3060 tis can take up to 320w

[grand orbit]

Uhh no see how many if they have any molex connecters

[azure pond]

thats what i dont understand

where are molex connectors

what are they on

[grand orbit]

Psu

Just like a sata connecter

[azure pond]

the psu is ont the top of the case and they cant see it the front of it with taking either the back or the front panels off

well

two side panels ig

also can you post this in tech deals pato https://pcpartpicker.com/product/64MTwP/team-mp33-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fp6001t0c101

im on cooldown

[grand orbit]

Ehh not worth imo

[azure pond]

isnt it normally 85?

[grand orbit]

Not iirc

[silent rampart]

@azure pond #tech-deals message got a 3060 for about this same price 😦

actually more

[azure pond]

rip

[silent rampart]

lmao

what was that

[azure pond]

dropped my phone on my keyboard

[silent rampart]

lol

[light bay]

At stock?

My card could also take up to 320w but never in normal use without modifying stuff

[grand orbit]

Tbf I'm taking worst case scenario including oc

On avg about 220w

[undone bronze]

i hav question

[azure pond]

!ask

[ebon stratus]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[undone bronze]

ah

this is what ive found

all based off of the cpu deal

pre good deal

[grand orbit]

Cad pricing?

[undone bronze]

yep

[grand orbit]

Meh

[azure pond]

ram isnt great

[undone bronze]

ye i was thinking to switch it out

[azure pond]

mobos overpriced

[undone bronze]

fr?

[grand orbit]

Just don't get the bundle then

[undone bronze]

o

[grand orbit]

Mobos not overpriced but it's way more than you need

[undone bronze]

mhm

what would u recommend as a mobo for the 5600x

[grand orbit]

I wouldn't recommend going 5600x atm

You doing whole build?

[undone bronze]

nah

[grand orbit]

What you got ?

[undone bronze]

its in between 5600x and 12600k

rn just peripherals

looking into getting something when it goes on sale etc

[azure pond]

12400f is 5600xs' equivelant

id get 5600 or 12400f

[grand orbit]

Ohh so yeah the whole build

[undone bronze]

mhm

[grand orbit]

What's budget

[azure pond]

5600 is within a few percent of 5600x

[undone bronze]

like 1800

cad

[grand orbit]

1 sec

[azure pond]

does that include peripherals and monitor?

or just the tower

[undone bronze]

just tower

[azure pond]

kk

[undone bronze]

i been struggling with gpus but thats abt it

[grand orbit]

you need wifi?

[undone bronze]

uhhh

i dont think so

im fine to leave it out

[grand orbit]

id do this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/QGn8JM

[cloud hornet]

Do note Vuugo has some pricy shipping usually

[undone bronze]

u can put a micro atx in an atx mid case?

[cloud hornet]

Yes

[undone bronze]

huh

interest

[cloud hornet]

I'd also probs get an 6800xt from CHWS, should be about 1k CAD

[undone bronze]

regardless W pato fr

nah a 3070 works

[grand orbit]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DkWBcb maybe do this then

[undone bronze]

not tryna go overkill

[grand orbit]

cuz the 3070 is way cheaper than the rest

[grand orbit]

ohh thats nicee

[undone bronze]

how long do u think these prices will hold

[grand orbit]

[undone bronze]

like a 1 week span around there?

[grand orbit]

possibly

[undone bronze]

nice

[cloud hornet]

Id just change case, only one included fan. Should be able to get smth better

[undone bronze]

was thinking abt buying around the weekend

[grand orbit]

ohh yeah forgot only 1 fan

[cloud hornet]

Also 3070Ti for $100 CAD more
https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00117441

[azure pond]

also $230 1660 on b stock

not for that^^

in relation to what i sent in tech deals

[undone bronze]

regardless for 230💀💀

[grand orbit]

id probs do this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fTpmk9

[undone bronze]

w deal

[azure pond]

nvm lol

1660 went oos already

[undone bronze]

lol

ty @grand orbit btw

[grand orbit]

np

[cloud hornet]

I'd check local CC/ME for cases first tho, could find better deal on that

[undone bronze]

is that high of a GPU necessary tho

like wouldn’t going for a 3060 or 1080/be more reasonable

[grand orbit]

A 3070 is never necessary

If you have a 1.8k cad pc .... Play 1440p

[light bay]

Yeah I doubt someone who is already cutting it kinda close is gonna oc like hell

[cloud hornet]

Main issue is that pricing is still kinda whack, 3060Ti can still be close to 3070 price, and 3070 price is closeto 3070Ti price.

how bout a 6600

would it work

well

[azure pond]

id look for 6600xt

[grand orbit]

Just worst case scenario but even with like 10400f and 220-250w + like 80w + rest of system power cutting it close

[undone bronze]

mhm

[light bay]

It'll fall under the %80 tho

[grand orbit]

Course it would but do you not want to spend 1.8k or something?

[undone bronze]

bro im just tryna run valorant and some multitask that’s it💀

[light bay]

80% would be 400 watts

[undone bronze]

True true

[light bay]

So it should fall under

[grand orbit]

Would be close

[light bay]

Yeah but 80% is just a reccomendation ofc

[undone bronze]

also for buying it

online or in store

what is recommended

[grand orbit]

yeah but also 500w psus are probably not a A or B tier

[light bay]

Could be

[grand orbit]

whatever is most convenient/ cheaper

[undone bronze]

ok:)

[azure pond]

mine survived on a thermaltake white

[grand orbit]

Yeah but is not good

[azure pond]

[azure pond]

how do you cancel an order on evga

@marsh sphinx you happen to know?

[marsh sphinx]

Nope

Too broke to order in the first place

[azure pond]

looks like you cant if its shipped

:/

[tiny heron]

Yeah most likely will have to return after it's arrived. 😔

[cloud hornet]

Depending on how long ago you placed the order, CS might be able to help.

[azure pond]

doesnt look like it

not from anything i can find

[cloud hornet]

Did ya ask them? Might help with return shipping/restocking fees

[light bay]

Or just sell it on local market for a fair price

[cloud hornet]

Smth like 3080Ti is selling for under posttax FE MSRP in my area. Could lose an okay amt of money depend on which GPU it is that way, so return could be better

[azure pond]

That'll prolly be what I do

$200 plus shipping, which is what I paid after tax and shipping for it

[light bay]

Yeah

It'll make someone's day

[light bay]

One of the worst value Nvidia cards isn't selling for MSRP?

[boreal depot]

How is it the worst value?

[light bay]

cause 3080 12gb and 6900xt exist

3080 12gb is basically a 3080ti with a cold

and a 6900xt good aib model sells for like 3080ti price and you get better than 3080ti perf

i only said one of the worst

[oak sentinel]

waiting for fsr 2.0

3080 12 gb is awful value tbh

3080ti is better value than 12gb 3080

6900xt is amazing tho if u dont care about some features

[light bay]

not always

ive seen some for $1k which isnt horrible

new

[oak sentinel]

thats still not great value

[light bay]

whats better perf for the same price?

[grand orbit]

68/900xt

[grand orbit]

@steep marsh maybe calm down with the evga stuff considering theyre meh deals and your product code

also the screenshots just clog up the chat

[steep marsh]

Reporting new in stock cards, and pictures make look nice 🙂

I cleaned up old ones 🙂

[grand orbit]

yes but theyre not really deals and you get a kickback, youre threading a close line to self promo

[steep marsh]

I'm not promoting anything.

These fine cards sell themselves.

[grand orbit]

youre putting in your promo code

[steep marsh]

I based it on chat history of others doing it. 🤷‍♂️

[grand orbit]

Youre allowed say promo codes yes but this one directly benefits you - pretty close to self promo just dont over do it

[steep marsh]

Might I present a counter argument?

https://gyazo.com/a01ec7192c3bc624d6cf3d97929013f5

he gets an up and I get yelled at. 😭

https://tenor.com/view/sad-sorry-im-sorry-stitch-apologetic-gif-12304217

[grand orbit]

1 didnt realise it had promo, 2 he did it once and didnt clog chat with it

[steep marsh]

it's not clogging chat, you're just looking at it on phone 😄

would you feel better if i removed pics?

I like visuals 😐

[grand orbit]

anddd thats still clogging chat lol

would be better ye

[steep marsh]

better? 😛

[grand orbit]

ye

[azure pond]

There's a 5900x on sale rn for $300 but reviews of seller seem very sus

[grand orbit]

That would be stonks

[azure pond]

Check the link I deleted pato

I'm not sure

[grand orbit]

Shows as 449 from Amazon for me

[azure pond]

Ahh

[slow sluice]

@grand orbit already gone lol

[grand orbit]

FFS

[grand orbit]

Dammit i was debating getting one :(

[slow sluice]

That was fast

[grand orbit]

yeah i think it was a pricing error... looking at there store now they have the 5600 at that price lol

[marsh sphinx]

Rip

[azure pond]

@slow sluice oh so it is real

i saw it earlier but i assumed it was fake

thats a sick deal

if my mobo wouldnt die with it id buy it

[slow sluice]

I think it's real? I'm not sure

I've seen this vendor before, never actually bought from them

[azure pond]

a few sellers reviews i saw looked very sus, but overall they have good reviews it seems

this is part of why i was weirded out

an odd thing to include for an official seller
