roblox is probably the reason

you probably have some background service or program running that is using up a ton of cpu

when it goes to 100% what are you running?

games? discord?

anything else but the usual stuff?

lapis jackal Jan 30, 2023, 6:11 PM

games, screen sharing on discord, and watching screen shares makes my cpu go up

even listening to spotify sometimes

this is how it looks before I open something

if a game isnt using the gtx 1650 built in with the dedicated vram, it may be using the intel igpu instead and sharing system ram for vram

you should try running discord in the browser and see if it reduces cpu usage

you might have to uninstall discord app to do that if it forces it to open when you log in

you dont need to do that. the task manager will show igpu and gtx 1650

it only tracks specific gpu utilization

what do you mean not properly?

#

you dont ened to track it you only need to see that it;s using it

#

if the gtx 1650 gets used at all it means something is using hardware acceleration on it

if it has 0% usage when roblox is running then it tells you the game is using igpu

ok so then roblox is using the 1650 and discord is probably using the igpu

so maybe if you can swap discord to the gtx 1650 it might work better but i have no idea if you can do that

It's already pretty normal to see high CPU util..the chip doesn't have many cores

#

If it's using a low power state and not boosting high 90-100% util is normal there's probably a ton of background stuff and bloatware running as well

there's no way the fan is cooling it down to 50 so that's out of the picture but I don't know

simple plaza Jan 30, 2023, 7:05 PM

So if the chip is actively consuming more power - it will be hotter. Modern chips generally have pretty good power saving behavior so when they are not in use they limit power consumption

I'm only really confused on like motherboard compatibility

simple plaza Jan 30, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

Give your budget - games you play - resolution you want - and anything else...like games you plan to play...any productivity tools e.t.c

#

Motherboard compatibility depends on the family/architecture of CPUs you're looking for

#

Like, Ryzen 7000 is only supported on AM5 motherboards

lapis jackal Jan 30, 2023, 7:30 PM

#

around 1200 USD to like 1600

#

also if it's a simple answer whats the pros and cons between ryzeen and intel cpus

simple plaza Jan 30, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

Tbh it's not so simple generally, they both offer pros and cons. Really it's down to use-case and what you want from your system.

#

Especially with you having a MC so close, you could have either of their newest products for fairly cheap I imagine.

lapis jackal Jan 30, 2023, 7:32 PM

for lets say, roblox 💀 what would show better performance for around the same price point

simple plaza Jan 30, 2023, 7:32 PM

simple plaza Feb 1, 2023, 1:04 AM

Wdym?

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 1:05 AM

#

Like with a motherboard

#

If I pick a CPU and if it works with the motherboard, etc...

simple plaza Feb 1, 2023, 1:06 AM

#

Intel 12th/13th gen use "LGA 1700" socket

#

Whether or not the CPU works with a motherboard is dependent on the socket of the CPU/MB and the software running the board

#

It needs to fit

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

Uh huh

simple plaza Feb 1, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

And if a chip comes out after a board comes out - it needs to be sure to have software to support it.

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

ah

simple plaza Feb 1, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

So. LGA 1700 boards may look like the following for gaming

#

B760 B790 are raptor lake chipsets optimized for 13th gen iirc. But it supports 12th and 13th

#

b660 and z690 were made for alder lake but support raptor lake (13th) gen with the proper software

#

Because both generations of chips fit in the mb

#

AM4 includes b350 x370 b450 x570 b550 x570 and it supports from Ryzen 1000-ryzen 5000 with various configurations of bios updates e.t.c

#

AM5 is B650 and X670 and supports Ryzen 7000 only

#

Your motherboard will decide what RAM you can use DDR4 or DDR5 and your CPU/MB will decide what configuration and speeds of ram are actually supported

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 1:10 AM

#

ok

#

I'm a bit lost mb but I think I understand

#

Just as an example which cpu between these two performs better

#

simple plaza Feb 1, 2023, 1:11 AM

#

The name of a board "X670" will tell you what family it supports and what socket it is

#

You can look it up and see what CPUs are supported.

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 1:11 AM

If you need more cores then the chip with more cores has an advantage

If the 780ti came out for 400 dollars - it was great then

Because it's garbage compared to a 3060ti or 6750XT that you could get right now for 400 dollars

#

this isnt a professional opinion

#

but oyu can buy a windows key online for like $10

broken rose and you can get free ram with the ryzen 7000 if you have a microcenter near you

also, if you get this instead of that 7950x, if you still want to use the extra $300 or whatever you would save, you could possibly upgrade to a 3070 or 3070ti

#

and have the build stay at about the same cost

alr

#

i just didnt wanna cheap out on a cpu

#

considering the one i have right now, i've had a bad experience with them

#

would this be "better"

#

lapis jackal i just didnt wanna cheap out on a cpu

you were wayover compensating to the point of throwing money away

#

you could get a 7700x and be good for at least 2 gpu upgrades before you really need to consider a new cpu and possibly in 4 years you could upgrade to ryzen 9000 if amd has the same long support of the new cpu socket like they did with ryzen 1000 to 5000

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

Yeah that's pretty much what I picked when I heard it was overkill 😂

#

and if anyone is still here is there any where I can spend less on these parts with around the same performance currently?

#

I've got it down to $1500

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

Best place normally to spend the least is if you have a micro center near you

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

Yeah I do

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

They normally have a lot of combo deals where you can save a lot

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

I just don't always have time to go there that's why i used the website

#

if i get a psu thats over the need wattage is that vad

#

bad*

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

Not really

#

But a certain number over can become overkill and a waste of money

#

Like if your components require 400w recommended to get like a 500w

#

For wiggle room in case you ever want to overclock etc

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

Is this overkill

#

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

Very

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

alr alr

#

i should get around 500?

#

watts

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

Probably

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

is 600 overkill

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

Not really

#

But more than that is

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

alr

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

For example my pc uses 600-699 watts

#

And I’m running an 850

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

uh huh

#

alr

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

Anything more than over 150-200 than you need is overkill

lapis jackal Feb 1, 2023, 4:01 AM

Does atx/sfx make a difference

urban willow Feb 1, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

depending on your case size

#

atx psu are bigger than sfx psu

so a few suggestions if this is what you are looking at. 1. You can post the link in the yellow portion of partpicker and it will be easier than doing screenshots. 2 If you're going with am5 you should be looking at better and faster memory 6000 cl 30 is the sweet spot...also grab a full size ATX board to properly fill out your case, grab a rocket 4.0 it's faster, cheaper and has a better endurance than the 970 evo, grab a newer h5 flow case if you want to go with NZXT (the original h510 is a horrible case) and a 750W PSU will be enough so you're not overspending but leaves you enough room to were you can upgrade and not have to worry about immediately having to buy a new PSU

urban willow thats a performance bottleneck and a half

No..it isn't. To clarify - a bottleneck exists in every single system but more specifically it is one component that's holding the rest of your system/or another component back...In that case the CPU was "overkill" compared to the GPU under the assumption that we're doing something like 4k gaming....OP did not need the CPU for their use case but in no way would it be holding a 3060 back in 1080p......OP doesn't need an extreme GPU to run roblox...Can't be recommending builds without knowing their use case...if they didn't play games and just ran servers that build would be relatively fine.

#

Im already said..none of this matters if OP isn't buying the system tmr.

#

Mentions they want it in a few months but proceeds to build like they're getting it tmr.

urban willow Very

850w is not overkill 😐

simple plaza Feb 1, 2023, 9:22 AM

#

simple plaza Im already said..none of this matters if OP isn't buying the system tmr.

and it would be...pretty awkward to build the system tmr given the components coming out and price drops.....and microcenter close bh.

urban willow Like if your components require 400w recommended to get like a 500w

For real though..dont recommend someone cheap out on their PSU. 0/10. Under the assumption OP upgrades to something like a 4090 in 3 years...850w is a minimum recommended...may as well account for that.

#

I learned the hard way..you do not want to be on the edge of your power delivery or your system shits the bed.

#

Getting a 750w unit might save 20 bucks lol...getting a 500w unit would save like 70 bucks..trying to save money in the wrong place

#

Microcenter discounts on CPU/MB/RAM will more than make up for the price of a decent PSU....

Facepalm

You saved 20 dollars on a PSU while paying 370 for a 3060

#

I'm gonna re-iterate, cuz I can't spend forever on this. If you are buying this system "In a few months" then there's no point to focusing on pricing. Pricing will change and new products will be available

#

And PC partpicker is mostly invalid because you have a local microcenter

#

If you just wanna have fun looking at builds and picking parts then you need to look up performance and value perspective elsewhere...like...this is supposed to be "tech support"

#

We can't realistically just keep recommending builds with 0 context....and it would be ridiculous for someone to recommend a 3070ti for someone playing roblox in 1080p...that's about as ridiculous as getting a 7950x in the first place...and it's just showing a fundamental lack of knowledge

#

You didn't "DO anything wrong" but this is just dumb being here and should be in #design-a-build if that's all we're gonna do. Otherwise if you're going to be buying this in a few months...then you should really wait a few months to worry about specifics and just learn how this works unless you're going to do it again in a few months when you're ready to buy it.

#

Otherwise this is waste of time and could be done on youtube.
