Why do techtubers keep making this shit clickbait for what feels like 6-7 years now? At this rate we're looking at a financial crash next quarter before the next-gen GPUs even launch.

>>100142601
>The 5800X3D is the same price as the 13600KF, how is that not a recommendation?
Did you not read? It is recommended for a drop-in AM4 upgrade. 13600KF currently costs $244 in the United States and can use both DDR-4 and DDR-5, while the 5800X3D currently costs $310 and can only use DDR-4.

To earn money. What else do you think?

WTF is wrong with the GPU market?

There has been 0 fluctuation in pricing for months now here.

Same exact price

So my uncle asked my for a nice pc with a budget of $600, is this good?

Dude, at this price point, you might as well go for AM5. Plus, you'll easily be able to play current AAA games on high settings at 1440p and high frame rate.

Picrel is my build which I got late last year and it's only a 100€ more.

Oh fuck, here we go

Anyone using CPU AIO for a long time? Ever had a leak or other issue?
Can't decide between air cooling and AIO on ryzen 7950x3d

>>100148164
I'm not trying to start shit. I just picked random things, so I'm guessing the one you posted is better

>>100148142
Well you have much more SSD space and a slightly weaker CPU and GPU. You have allocated more to storage than most people here, but there's nothing wrong per se.

>>100148171
>ryzen 7950x3d
Do you really need that CPU?
Probably AIO. AMD recommends it.

>>100148200
>I'm not trying to start shit. I just picked random things, so I'm guessing the one you posted is better
I'm NTA that posted the other one, it's just that posting a build with a 7900 GRE will cause instant kvetching from the resident Nvidia shill

>>100148142
That really is a lot of $ on storage alone, are you sure you need that much space? If you do, consider a fast 1 TB drive and a much cheaper 3 TB drive.

Will I get much of a benefit going for a 14700K over a 146000k for gaming? My GPU is going to be a 4070 TI. My friend recommended I get a 14700K, but I don't really know anything and just want a second opinion.

>>100148280
In 1440p, you'd get about a 5% increase in performance for a 16% increase in cost.

Alright, >>100147217
got my build as is, should be fine ( I hope)

>>100148280
Check benchmarks to verify yourself but generally no. Even with the deliberately CPU-bottlenecked settings reviewers use the difference is maybe 5%. You'll probably be running higher settings than those so would see even less in practice.
The one reason I would recommend the i7 (for gaming alone) is if you want to run a serious overclock. We're talking serious enough to disable the e-cores for cache ratio OC, mind you, not basic multiplier tweaking. In that scenario the i7 should have a bit more clock headroom and lets you keep 8x p-cores for those games that can utilize them.

>>100148329
7800X3D has the same issue. It's about 8% better than a 14600K, but costs $83 (27%) more.

>>100148371
I have already covered this here.
>>100148335

>>100148385
Thank you for the image anon. It reinforces my point well.

>>100148372
you should get the power savings over a year anyway and the 7800X3D will last longer.

>>100146782
i just bought a 7800x3d, the OPs mainboard and ddr5 ram

>>100148372
Indeed. Though the X3D chips can be radically faster in certain games. Often ones that are naturally CPU bound too. If you want to valuemaxx then you ought to consider the 12600K(F). Probably the cheapest CPU that could comfortably drive a 4070Ti.

>>100148372
7800X3D has much better lows though so it should give a more consistent experience, it's also much easier to cool, not really shown on that chart above.

Reminder you will need the BEST gaming gpu money can buy to even come close to not get bottlenecked by the 7800X3D and beyond

Honest thoughts on this 4070s/7900gre comparison? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5ZlW69rAfw

>>100148239
>need
Probably not. I want GPU passthrough, 2-3 NVMe SSDs.
Anyway, better question is: do I want that? And yes, yes I do. I'm not planning to upgrade for at least 5 years.

Need more anons to share their AIO experience.

>>100148815
Seems basically in line with everybody else's results. A slight lead in raster for the GRE and, though not tested, a large lead for the 4070S in RT.
The consensus is that you buy the GRE if you genuinely don't care for either RT or DLSS and you buy the 4070S if you do. That's a fundamentally subjective assessment so there's no point arguing about it.

any guides for undervolting the 7800x3d?

Found a guy selling this 2nd hand PC for 60% of MSRP which is about 2k$ in my country.
Seems crazy good to me, can anyone give a quick look and tell me if this looks ok.

>>100148915
Same as OC except you need to test low-load stability too. For example GPU-bound game benchmarks, browser benchmarks, and windows diagnostics. Throw on a "safe" offset and titrate it down until you encounter instability. After that you can try a per-core offset or just leave it. Frankly you might not even want to bother because that CPU is ridiculously efficient at stock.

How do I know if a cooler is good enough, or overkill, for my cpu?
google told me about a thermal design power, but most coolers don't have this in the specs page.

>>100149172
>google told me about a thermal design power, but most coolers don't have this in the specs page.
That's false. It's called TDP in the spec sheet usually.

>motherboard offers m.2 22110 slot
>pretty much most of SSDs are 2280
Am I missing something? I am just curious about this form factor. My guess, it's thing of the past and most manufacturers managed to squeeze capacity inside 2280.

>>100149064
There's this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/khtx1o/guide_zen_3_overclocking_using_curve_optimizer/
Goes into more detail than I did but the premise is the same. Offest, test, iterate. There's no esoteric knowledge that can substitute for actually testing /your/ CPU.

So unless your local prices are wildly different I don't see it as that good of a deal.

>>100149324
So that make hardly any use case for consumer grade?

>>100149172
>>100149221
The cooler will list the socket compatibility. If it works for AM5 then it's safe to say it will cool a 5800X3D and 7800X3D. How well it will obviously depends on the rest of your setup and room temp.

>>100148915
>>100149048

im the guy that was having issues with his new pc not booting after installing the drivers and the gpu fans not running. basically i went to bed, plugged my gpu power connection back (after testing just the MB), and it was able to boot. so i guess it was a 'turn it off and turn it back on' issue. the gpu fans still arent doing shit but the drivers are installed and its windows is running. i guess ill have to wait to see if when my game (aoe4) is done downloading to see if the gpu is good.

I bought a new pc a few months ago. And now today it suddenly takes forever to shut down. Normally It would take maybe 5 seconds? And now 2+ min. I did another 3 shutdowns and the same every time. No windows updates pending, no errors. My screen stays on, doesn't go into standby, but is black. What could be causing this?

Seems reasonable in the context of giving broad advice. Nvidia is the standard in GPGPU applications. If you know your suite works with AMD you don't need the OP reccs.

>>100150094
This will vary wildly from game to game, but assuming the specs are actually accurate then your CPU might bottleneck your CPU, but at high/max settings, the CPU bottleneck will be less than if you were to use lower settings, also, do not expect high FPS (more than 60 FPS) in any circumstance.

For the tech chads ITT, will future high-res monitors like 4k and UWHDQ (with a 3440x1440 dimension) be able to push out 360hz? Or is it a weird limitation?
I want to be able to enjoy the size while also having a high refresh rate (yes I know 240hz is already high), but only smaller monitors like 1080p are commonly able to push 240hz and above to 500hz.
My dream monitor is the Corsair XENEON FLEX 45-Inch 240Hz OLED at 2k USD (which is the only 3440x1440 that can support 240z to my knowledge), but I'd rather save money if I can get it years down the road at 360hz.

Try to look for unbiased reviews (or at least reviews from shills on both sides) and make your own decision based on that information. The correct decision will be ultimately subjective. Each brand has its own advantages and disadvantages over the other

I want to buy a couple of 140mm fans for my build but why the fuck are they so expensive? A fucking fan you use for your room is cheaper. I can afford them, but paying the same I did for 1 TB of SSD storage for a toy fan leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

With normalfags and boomers, when they mean "powerful PC" they just mean something that won't lag or visibly slow down while doing normalfag and boomer things. Might be better off getting him one these and shove it in an ATX case. It'll use less power and smaller to boot.

>>100148171
You can either get a thermalright dual fan that will last forever and turn on curve optimizer in Ryzen master if it runs too hot (just test it with hwinfo64) or you get a cheap AIO. They don't leak but the radiators simply fail at a much higher rate than fans. If you get a 7800x3d you don't need to.

>>100148372
The 7800X3D is a CPU that's simultaneously over and underrated since where it excels is not covered at all by current CPU testing methodology. A lot of people blindly recommend it because its "da best gaming CPU!!!!!" because X/Y/Z techtuber said so, but that ends up with conclusion like

>It's about 8% better than a 14600K, but costs $83 (27%) more.

which is true based on the benchmark result, but those benchmark are usage scenario that don't take advantage much of the large L3 cache. In those games (usually AAAslops) there's no reason to go the 7800X3D, but there's no reason to go the 14600K either when the 12600KF is $150 and will do the job, and the price difference is better spent on the GPU. If you play any kind of MMO/open world/simulation game with a heavy CPU load and memory latency requirement, the X3Ds are unmatched. Those usage case will never show up on benchmark though, because they're not easy to run tools for people who don't really play video games (reviewers)

>>100151588
>better performance is... LE BAD!

>>100148915
Its already a 65W part effectively. The 5800X3D has a ton of undervolting headroom because it was their first time making it and they were cautious. The 7800X3D is a 120W TDP part on paper that behaves like a 65W part in practice, if you manage to push it beyond 88W PPT (58W for CPU on monitoring software + 30W from the IO die), you've made techtube news, take a screenshot and send it to techjesus.

Just forget about the heat and adjust the fan curve so it doesn't ramp up full blast when it spikes to the 70s.

I've been out of the game for a while, last time I checked upscaling was big right now with games coming out built around the technology. Are Nvidia way ahead of AMD and their FSR technology that's just not there yet? Im planing on getting a 7900xtx and hope by the time I'll need the tech they will catch up.

>>100151722
FSR right now is undeniably trash
AMD has shown curated samples of FSR 3.1 that look like a big improvement but you should reserve judgement until its actually released.

>>100151722
>Are Nvidia way ahead of AMD and their FSR technology that's just not there yet?
for games that are specifically supported, yes. dlss is objectively better than fsr. nvidia framegen is objectively better than fluid motion frames in games where they're put back to back.
but you can throw FSR and fluid motion frames at any game you own, DX11, DX9, doesn't matter. ARMA with frame interpolation? fuck yeah, hit that 120FPS multiplayer arma server high. you can't do that with nvidia because while their solution is better in a direct comparison, it's curated enough that you can't just throw it at the wall and see if it sticks.

Aside from the parts regularly mentioned in the sticky, what else do I- as a first-timer- need before I can start putting together a PC? Do I need an anti-static mat to assemble it on?

>Do I need an anti-static mat to assemble it on?
No, just set the motherboard on top of the cardboard box it comes in.

It's a good idea to touch something metal before to start building or if you take a break and come back to it but you're not going to building up a charge while working on it (it's not a good idea to do it on a carpeted floor).

>first time builder
no soldering required. all you usually need are different size philips heads. don't use a drill for anything on your board. drill is fine for like fan screws, psu screws, drive trays, maybe PCIe lane screws but it's easy to strip those with a drill.
you ust need a ball of thermal paste for the cpu die.
static isn't a big deal but maybe it's a good idea to not put your pc on a rug or something.
depending on what parts you have you may need a fan or rgb splitter but it's unlikely.
don't forget to take off the plastic film from the bottom of any NVMe heatsink you have.

as far as building process goes i would suggest you start with any external case fans you may have (read about fan orientation i.e. outake or intake). you want positive pressure.
then install cpu/ram/nvme in mobo, then screw in case screw risers for mobo, then put in mobo and screw it down, then cpu cooler/aio and psu, gpu only after you've plugged everything in.

don't zip tie anything until everything is screwed down. feeding cables in ways that make sense ahead of time helps making cable management less time consuming. make sure you orient components in a way where cables can route to places that make sense, namely the back of your pc, out of the way from the front and bundled/zip tied at the end.

you will probably fuck up the fpanel headers because theyre small and sometimes aren't labeled. read your mobo manual.

Not ideal either. Basically the same.
However, in reality it is very hard to do major damage to any components by a static discharge. It's more or less a precaution measure. In practice you could probably build it anywhere no elastic band or grounding and you would be fine. Don't do that though. Why would you risk expensive equipment for a minor annoyance

Standardization
There are AIO coolers you can get for gpus but the variations of layouts is huge so they're going to cost more because economies of scale.
For a CPU you just need a mount to fit a small flat square, but every GPU is going to have different layouts for the VRM/Memory/Die which all need cooling.

>>100153407
CPU coolers use standardized brackets defined by Intel and AMD.
GPU coolers are defined by the board partners which is why there's a clusterfuck of cooling blocks for GPU boards, and why a lot of companies only support Nvidia Founder's Edition cards or reference boards to keep things simple.

It's more of a hassle for everyone involved, that's why liquid-cooled variants have a price premium.
The card manufacturers also don't provide long-term support for these water-cooled cards, I think only EVGA provided an option to buy a compatible video card AIO.
You see plenty of guys here using their VGA for over five years, that's not as likely to happen with a water-cooled video card.
It's also harder to resell these products after you've used them.

How do you find a decent monitor for gaming?
The tech is there to make some high spec things, but the prices of the old standard just stay the same.
What would you all recommend? I've got a 1080p 144Hz monitor right now that I want to add to. would it be better to just double up on the same specs, or should I try and go higher resolution?
Obviously, I'll be using it for gaming, but I also do 3D art, and programming.

I don't really have a budget for this, but I just want a good deal. I'll decide if it's even worth getting after I see if I'm missing something.

assuming you're not running an framerate cap or running into an some other bottleneck like a game engine bottleneck you'll see one or the other with more wait or more busy than the other, high gpu wait with high cpu busy means it's bottlenecked by the cpu, high cpu wait and high gpu busy means it's gpu bottlenecked

Of course you can, the mid-range motherboard has enough VRM for those processors, even more so if you don't plan to do any overclock, it would be exaggerated to put an i9 on it (especially the 13th and 14th gen) it would still be able to handle it. Apart from that (although with AMD) I have seen Ryzen 9 on cheap b550 boards and it works quite well today.

>>100155474
They're usually warranted for 5-7 years which means the actual average lifespan will be a bit longer. Maybe 10? Though ofc things get tricky to judge that far out.
IMO you shouldn't push them much beyond the warranty period because one failure mode, that is leaking, is so catastrophic. Yes it's a super rare thing but it can destroy the entire PC. False economy.

Your choices seem to be VA panels.
Avoid cheap VA panels. Just moving your mouse on a dark background turns your cursor yellow. And the smearing in games is pure awfulness.

>>100155896
what would be considered cheap for a VA panel?

>>100155914
it doesnt really matter.
get whats cheapest, its all trash

>>100155914
nta but AFAIK there's only a few VAs fast enough to avoid smearing. Off the top of my head there's the Samsung G7 and Gigabyte FV43U. Plus rebrands of same. You should look for technical testing of that KTC to see if it's using one of those fast panels. I kind of doubt it because the two I mentioned are $500+ but it's possible they're repackaging mildly defective panels at a steep discount.
With that said, your use-case and budget basically scream "IPS". Doing 3D work on a curved screen is sketchy at best. There's plenty of decent 1440/144 IPS monitors in the $200 range now. The panel tech makes up most of the difference between them so they're all pretty similar. Get one with the features you want and check a review or two to confirm.
Going by https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=256001440&F=355600000,711200000&D=144000,540000&P=2&sort=price&page=1
The standout at $200 seems to be the Dell G2724D due to its significantly better than average contrast. Just don't use the "HDR" mode.

>>100156022

thankfully i didnt have much on it, it used to be a windows drive but once I started getting BSODs I quickly moved everything to my nvme.
I think its fucked now.

Yesterday I shat myself thinking my 4080s is artifacting. Turns out this is a red dead redemption glitch and only happens in cutscenes with particle effects set to ultra instead of high. No other games past 3 months since i built it (cyberpunk, baldurs gate, tarkov) do this. Though it left a sour taste in my mouth. Should I do some sort of testing, even though I have received 0 problems of this kind with any other game?
temps are 64c average playing RDR2 at ultra. Hotspot average is like 73.

>muh ass
that's what you get for being a fag.

>>100157480
I had a diffferent glitch with RDR2 where I thought my GPU was dying. Suddenly a black void would appear randomly. It' never happened with any other game, only RDR2. It's probably just that game.

>>100157359
You can use Xess on Nvidia GPU's?

>>100157528
Googling it seems RDR2 has like 5 different graphical glitching that are identical to GPUs giving out. Jumpscare game. Did you do any sort of testing (furmark, etc) or did I just not see it appear in any other game and said good enough?

This is hilarious
You guys are experiencing a game glitch
But are scared and confusing it for a hardware/driver error
This is what AMD goes through everyday and it happens to people on 4000 series daily now.

>>100157569
I didn't test shit, my 2080 still works. It's just RDR2 it would sometimes have an issue with.

>>100157411
I don't trust ADATA or it's sub brand XPG
they're a worse version of Teamgroup

>>100156067
Wtf, why? What if you are 18, you don't have a good monitor yet, and you are finally building your first PC? Fuck you.

>>100155887
what do you mean it's slow? it's 5200mhz

>>100157643
I'm glad it's at least funny. It is my first build so I'm quite paranoid about everything. Like you said everything points to it being a game glitch, but how can you tell just from a screen grab? Is this not how interfacing looks?
>>100157646
thanks for the reply anon

>>100152831
>75000 refresh rate
Wtf
Can you even reach 75000 FPS in any game?

>>100157643
>everyday
Every day*
If something happens every day, it is an everyday occurrence.

>>100157742
That type of artifacting would be memory related if it was a older GPU but newer GPUs have ECC like correction so instead of seeing green artifacts you just get worse fps. If it's showing up it's a game glitch.

>>100157765
Pokemon red emulated

>>100157773
Huh I see. I always thought artefacting would show up as colored dots/pixels/squares.
Well nice to know it's fine then. Thank you anon!

Are Silicon Power nvmes fine? They have the best TBW warranty of the budget ssds.

Get anything else. Crucial, Samsung, SK Hynix, Sabrent, etc.

>>100158284
Not from what I've seen, get a Solidigm P41 if you want a budget NVMe

https://www.centrecom.com.au/sapphire-amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-pulse-24gb-ddr6-graphics-card

1080ti died in a move what do? these only like 850usd posted need something to last until 8900xtx next year or intels whatever

not going with nvidia again too expensive and really hasnt made a gpu ive been interested in since the 1080ti or 2080ti i had

Retarded first timer here, does this build make sense? https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/hKFRxH
I want something that can run single players games like Baldur's gate 3, Kingdom come deliverance etc that I can't play on my current shitty prebuilt. I have a 75hz 1080p monitor that I'm not planning on changing. I'm also interested in local Mixtral 7b . Budget <1000eur Finland, I'd like to get lower but don't know where to go cheaper or if I should.

How much are used 6700XTs in Ausland? Should be enough to hold you over until next year but idk what the used market conditions are like over there.

>>100158779
fucked i saw a 79xt used for 500usd months ago
had a 69xt i had to firesale 3 years ago sadly

>>100158715
First off, you don't need an AIO to cool a Ryzen 5600, get a cheap tower cooler like an ID-COOLING SE-214 XT
>ANUS
get an ASRock board, better feature set for about the same price
Memory is fine, but your NVMe choice sucks, if you want a cheap one get a Solidigm (SK Hynix's sub brand) P41
Is there anyway you can squeeze a 6650 or 6700XT for the GPU? 6600 is getting long in the tooth
Case and power supply are good

>>100158789
Damn, that blows.
Any reason why you wouldn't take the 79XTX and keep it for the long haul? Seems like a better plan that relying on the used market over there.

>>100158698
What about 7900 GRE? how much they goin for down undah?

>>100158715
In your place I would bump up the gpu to a 6650XT or 3060 12GB.
I would get the money from using a cheap air cooler instead of the AIO. That is complete overkill for a 5600 which can run even with its stock cooler.
picrel is entry level GPUs from .fi partpicker.

waiting on meta quest 3/4 or vision to get stupid cheap
might render ai in the meantime idk getting insurance to pay for this and a 75" 120hz tv anyways
>>100158878
literally cheaper to buy a 79xtx

>>100158938
>literally cheaper to buy a 79xtx
Wait what? That's completely fucked, it's fucking weaker than the 79xtx

>>100159000
yep literally 200usd difference and i mainly want more vram

BG3 is fairly CPU heavy so I specced a 5700X3D, else drop it down to a 5600 and get a better GPU. Other changes are just sanity check fixes.

>>100159038
Well you might as well pull the trigger on the 79xtx considering it will probably be faster than the RDNA4 top card

>>100159057
wait what? cool ! ill go beg mummy moneyboobags

>>100159067
No you're catching on, it is the American way after all

>>100158924
Looking at this, I would probably give the A750 a shot, the drivers are getting better with every release, as is XeSS and they'll be releasing their frame gen tech soon

>>100159184

>Well you might as well pull the trigger on the radeon vii considering it will probably be faster than the RDNA top card
bad advice all around

>>100159249
Except Vega was a shit arch designed by an overhyped street shitter
AMD have already confirmed they're not aiming for the high end and the 79xtx is the last high-end GPU they will be making, the generational improvements will be minimal

So is integer scaling a meme or is that a viable option someone can take advantage of if they have a GPU that can support it? (Mainly talking about playing at 1080p on a 4k monitor)

After all... why shouldn't I buy a new PC right now? Intel+Nvidia specifically.

>>100159292
from what I've read other anons post who use it, it is a viable option

>>100159247
MOMMY MILK

>>100159278
The last good amd uarch was rdna2
Rdna3 is streetshitter trash

>>100159323
So what can I expect realistically? Will a game look better than using a native 1080p screen since there is more pixel information to work with.

>>100159336
Only the best for you baby

>>100159315
13th and 14th gen is pretty mild
Degradation issues, unstable stock clocks out of the gate, inconsistent xmp and IO lag that older cpus intel just don't have... the list goes on

>>100159429
she loves her titties sucked

>>100159441
zens been dogshit its entire run my 59x would not oc at all my 136k has been nothing but smooth
ddr4 tho

>>100159337
Incorrect, 79xtx is faster than the 6950xt

>>100159513
The i5s are clocked very far away from the edge of stability so those are fine
Its the i7 14700k, i9 13900k and i9 14900k that are running way past what they're capable of and having stability issues

>>100159500
Any woman worth their weight does

>>100159581
It launched late, barely matches ampere in RT, and had severe hardware flaws that caused it to miss performance target
Its a FUBAR of a product

>>100159513
The 59XX series is a workstation series, you're a fucking idiot for buying one thinking it would overclock well
5800X3D shits on your i5

>>100159592
shes a big girl
>>100159614
had a 5600x it was shit
>>100159587
yeah i avoided those espeically the high end ones because i was sick of 300w housefire gpus and wasnt especially looking forward to 300w housefire cpus AGAIN
the 59x for it day actually used less power than my 136k but was alot slower

>>100159601
>it launched late
good shit takes time to make, also QC
>several hardware flaws that caused it to miss performance target
Such as? AMD was late to the game when it came to ML and RT bullshit, miss me with that bullshit nigger
>It's a FUBAR or a product
24% performance improvement over the 6950xt is the opposite of FUBAR

>>100159655
>I had a 5600X, it was shit
In what way? Currently sporting a 5700X rn ong fr fr

>>100159655
>>100159614
13600K performs better than 5800x3d

the 9950X is gonna have the same problem.

>>100159685
nocap its slow in certain games

if i took off her bra would she plop?

which is why i chose one over a x3d

So I adjusted some things from feedback last week, $200 over budget, but this is where I finally landed.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K4PPTY
Only thing I'm iffy on is paying so much for a 1000Watt power supply, but future upgradability and reliability are key so I think I'm stuck at that expensive price.
Anything drastically wrong before I start ordering?
