Sound absorbent maybe, but marble as a worse thermal conductivity (2-3 watts per metre-kelvin) than aluminum @ 237 W·m−1·K−1 (which you could use thicker gauge for). The most conductive material that isn't a precious metal a case could be made from is apparently copper @ 401 W·m−1·K−1

Learn how to undervolt it, power & performance voltage sweet spot for Ampere is between 800~875mV.
Undervolting instructions in >>101088183 apply, just use the above cutoff point of max voltage.
You can set the same core offset between +105~150MHz. If it's crashing @ 150MHz, lower it by 15MHz (1 bin).

rule of thumb is dont exceed the power spec of your cables. if you have two eight pin cables for example then don't exceed 375-400W. the psu shouldnt trigger OCP because it takes transient into account

MSI board? What is the default load level? Mode 9?
CPU Lite Mode changes the AC/DC load line characteristics of the board, lower values mean the VRM is providing less voltage compensation as current flows.
If the CPU asks for 1.1V, the VRM can't just send the exact 1.1V because there are voltage drops along the way. It's a physical characteristic.
CPU AC/DC loadline is meant to compensate for that VRM impedance.

This seems to also affect the CPU's IMC as lower AC/DC load line can crash my PC with memory OC enabled, including XMP.

Those aquarium-style cases are a generally pain if you aren't using an AIO. That said, the King 95 is probably one of the most reasonable options:

Old CPU on a dead end platform. Sure it's dirt cheap but you can easily get a better one (e.g. Ryzen 7600) for a little more money that also leaves you room for an upgrade a few years down the line.

No reason to not go for 32GB now if you don't want to upgrade again soon, especially since it's not even double the price.

I am making a new computer. My current laptop is a 6th Gen and 1060 6GB. I play vidya, do video editing, and photoshop on occasion.
With that being said, the video editing is hobby level, nothing crazy.
I am looking at the 7800x3D. I was going to go for Intel initially. I just found out that apperently Nvidia graphics cards would do the productivity work that I was going to get an Intel chip for? Is this correct? If so I don't need to think about what CPU I want

Sorry for triple posting I'm a fucking idiot and forgot to ask the more important question:
What cooler is recommended for this thing? AIO or a Nocturan (sp?). This is my first actual build so I dunno shit about cooling and if this thing is a heat source like current Intel chips.
The case I want to get has a ODD slot that I intend on using so that'd probably make the fan sizes on top smaller. If it's a two fan AIO would that be a disaster? Do I even need a AIO or 3 fanned AIO?

Also just get a used 3060 12gb and wait for 5000 series. There is no good value in the 4000 series. Maybe 4070 super if you have to but it only has 12gb of vram. I would just get a 3060 or 3060ti used and just wait for 5000 series. Hopefully they will have cards worth buying. If you're memeing about blowing a bunch of money now and want to spend less then get a 7600x and a 3060/ti then upgrade later when games actually exist that are worth playing and stick with am5 for a while. Gta6 won't come out for pc until 2026 and there isn't really anything woth playing that won't run well on a 3060/ti right now. All the people who got 2600s/3600s and are now maxxing out with x3ds are quite happy. Or just blow your wad if you really want to now it's up to you. If you build a mid tier/budget like that then just get a peerless assassin cooler. Oh and don't be an itx cuck, build a full size atx and case with 4 dimm slots so you can double your ram later, add more hdds, and add up to 5 pcie slots.

I got a 1070 that I got from my uni's surplus for $10 I can use in the meantime. I'm gonna wait for the 5000 series and see if it's worth while.
I also work with a guy who has 5 3080 (forgot if they're TI or not) and he used 3 for mining. Might just buy one off him if the 5000 series dissapoints or if he makes me think he wants to just get rid of one of em.
>>
>>101095339
AIOs pumps fail in 5-6 years, the liquid also leaks around then. A fan fails and you just replace it. Then there is the price for the 2C difference that a nice AIO will actually do. A nice air cooler is $36-110, a functional AIO that won't break before 5-6yrs will be at least $200. The cheap ones fail pretty quickly. Considering you're using a laptop from 2018 says buy an air cooler.

>>
>>101095587
I mean based on how long you have lived with a 1060 mobile, you probably aren't going to be building another PC before the aio gets old. And the performance difference isn't large enough to necessitate the price on top of that. They seem cool but really aren't worth it unless you just want to go all out and build something that looks cool and buy an extremely hot cpu and will be rendering long videos for many hours. Even then the benefit of them is that they get cooler faster but once they warm up the difference isn't as substantial, meaning over time the initial difference begins to nearly even out. If you don't buy a hot cpu you can just use the stock cooler and be fine. Also the AMD 7800x3d is like 10C cooler than a 14900k at full load maxed out. A nice AIO might make sense with a high end intel housefire.

what's up /pcbg/, I'm conceptualising a sff high powered gaming rig. I want to watercool it to have more room for bigger cards.
Here's my question: I have a rainwater collector and have access to the piping in the room the pc will be in. would it be sufficient to just attach the system to my piping with a classic PCIe watertube slot, or will the poor waterpump in the pc have way too much load?
Pic related is the type of build I'd be aiming for.
>>
>>101096223
You want to use distilled water + silver coil or a pre-mixed liquid cooling solution. Otherwise you'll either corrode your water block with the rainwater as it still has ions in it that could react with your water block or it could clog up with precipitates and organic matter.

>>101092501
Have a friend that has a frozen notte 360 that seems to always run at max under load. It's cooling a 7600x (105 TDP). It is maxing out at the thermal limit under stress test, fans blaring, but the radiator itself is cool to the touch. I have a silent assassin on a 7700x and can cool it just fine, well below the thermal limit (it hits power limit under max boost clock). So I have a hard time thinking the cooler is set up properly.

I personally thermal pasted both of them (and yes, before you ask, no sticker), and used the same paste/amount. Pump is set to always run at max currently. I don't bother with liquid coolers myself. Is there something I should look out for, or is there something possibly wrong with it?
>>
>>101096559
For office/web it doesn't matter. The larger AMD ones, on the G-series, are capable of light gaming (think esports/indies) while the basic models are not.
Assuming this is a Facebook machine you're probably going to go Intel just because they have CPUs with an IGP in the ~$100 range while the entry price for AMD is higher.
>>
>>101096663
Yeah it could be DOA. It happens. Do you have a spare cooler to test?
If not, try turning the fans way down and listening for the pump noise. No noise = dead pump. Could also be a bad mount so try remounting it if you have some spare thermal paste.
>>
>>101096714
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. It's too noisy here for me to be sure, but I think I can hear it. But yeah, next step if so is to reseat it.
>>
>>101096792
A really loud pump would also indicate failure.
>>
>>101096872
Nah, it's not that loud. I can feel vibration on the pump, and hwinfo reports pump is running ~5000 RPM, which matches the spec sheet. Guess I'll try reseating it when I have the chance.

Temps go down rather fast once load is done, fwiw.

You might get lucky though.

Need to build a PC to take with me to work for a few months, current rig is old, thicc and slow, but I'm going to take its 2060super (X5690 @ 4Ghz, over 10+ years old)
Trying to work out what CPU to get, its going in a micro atx case, and most likely going to replace my current rig when I get back
Either thinking of the 5700X or 7700X, only thing im worried about is thermals, it needs to go in a mATX
Also not sure on what mobo / cooler to get, either way it needs a PS2


tldr; 5700X or 7700X? Micro ATX build

I'm planning to do a dual monitor setup.
My second display is primarily going to be internet browsing, music or watching a video on the side while the main display is going to be where I game.

Is it okay to hook both of them up to the gpu or is it a fast way to make my gpu go nuclear? Should I just hook up my second display to the integrated graphics of my cpu?

It's just a regular ass 4060 btw.

Why would a case need to absorb heat?
Good airflow will always trump a case acting as a passive heatsink, to such a degree that the material the case is made out of is completely irrelevant.

there are different types of use cases, you might put your PC in your room which is very clean, no carpet, no pets, etc. so you can just pump air through the case.
others want their case to have limited or no external airflow due to the environment. maybe the air needs to go through a mesh/filter first, that means either less flow rate, increased area, or exponentially more noise. sometimes its better to run everything at 60°C than to sputter your components with dust particles. some setups need to work for 10+ years. a metal case helps a lot in that case.

>>101098706
>they're called tvs
TVs consume a fuckton of power, have high latency, and have poor pixel density.

It's been a little over three months since I switched from a 3070 to a 7800xt. I sold the 3070, made back $350. For $200 I've gotten:
>30-40% better performance in games
>A better driver UI
>AV1 encoding using relive (which shadowplay doesn't have)
>Better HDR support, I keep HDR on at all times now
and I've had (almost) zero issues besides some weird screen flickering when on my desktop, which was caused by amd freesync. In fact I've actually had less driver issues because relive doesn't shit itself and constantly corrupt videos like shadowplay does, and on windows 10 ltsc nvidia has some hardware acceleration issues with steam, which kept crashing the overlay. All of that, gone.

Go ahead and explain to me why I should hate this card. (nvidia shill need not reply)
>>
>>101098827
wtf are you talking about?
that's due to the size of tvs, tvs are far more efficient compared to monitors of the same size.

"Retina" level displays are 218-220ppi.
Once you've used one, you cannot go back. 4K at 27" isn't even on par with a retina 5K. It's so crisp, so clear, and in the future when subpixel antialiasing gets removed from Windows entirely (it's already been removed from all "modern" apps), you'll need one, just like on a Mac, if you want anything to look good.

In the vast majority of desktop computers, the components generating heat aren't touching the case at all, so whether it's made of aluminum, plastic, or wood, it's doing fuck all to cool it.
Things like laptops and rackmount servers where the components are squished into tiny spaces can benefit from their case being a conductor.

> the components generating heat aren't touching the case at all
except HDDs which generate a lot of heat, sure but there are still fans distributing the heat to the internal air, which transfers it to the case. which is enough for a system to dissipate like 150W, depending on the case and target temeprature, with just passive heat exchange with the case. there are literally tens of thousands of x86 systems running in all kinds of industries this way.

Most HDDs are in cages to both prevent and protect them from vibration. Also, in a consumer environment, almost nobody uses HDDs anymore, and that's where these wacky case trends occur. You're not going to find tempered glass and wood on an industrial machine.
Air is a fantastic insulator. If the drives aren't up against the metal of the case, likely with some sort of thermal pad, then the fan is doing 1000x more to cool them down than the case.

the water absorbs heat more readily so whatever heat spikes that are momentary results in less heat in the chip and less fan ramp up noise

Less stuff inside the case itself so theres no 2kg cooler weighting down the gpu and air gets around better for other parts.

Well most recent amd gaming cpus eat like 30-70watts and you really dont need much to dissipate that. A dual tower will be essentially silent and get the job done

Properly water cooled system can sustain higher CPU and GPU’s core boost clocks.
You can even push memory OC higher if it’s cooled by a water block.

Arctic P14's are fucking garbage, but the P12's I bought are good. The 14's have a really obnoxious loud humming sound between 800 to 1200 rpm, making it so you have to peg the speed constantly to above or below that.
No problems with the 12's.

Had a lot of BSODs before but it turned out to be a win11IoT issue, switched to a different iso (win11pro). Screws on the ssd heatsink are dogshit and i had to use the knife to install it.

Bought 2x Artic P12's to replace the front case fan and another to add to the rear, since the front panel has a mesh with a dust filter on it and they told me the P12's are the best for that type of panel.

Did I make a mistake in believing him?

Also, what type of fans should I go for for CPU heatsink? Cause I wanna replace that was well and go for a push/pull dual fan setup.

Thing is, I can’t buy another pair of P12's because the fan sizes are different. I have a Hyper TX3 EVO, so I can only fit 92mm fans onto it.

New boards will be expensive, expect the ones worth buying to cost at least $300.
Board manufacturers know AMD plans to support AM5 for an extended period, they are going to milk early adopters dry.
It’s also generally better to wait at least two or three months for more stable BIOS updates.

Sorry anon but you're just fiddling. A bigger cooler is going to have a lot more impact than marginally better case fans. Ideally you'd have asked first and spent that $30 on a basic dual tower. Even now though, if you only have $20 left for the upgrade, buy an Assassin X or similar 120mm tower instead of replacing the perfectly functional fans on your current one.

No desktop CRT from the past 30 years does that.
That's a TV thing.
Desktop CRTs are typically at least 800x600, usually 1024x768 or 1280x1024 and good high end CRTs do 1920x1440 or even higher. Super rare ones are even 16:9 or 16:10. Usually they run at at least 85hz to prevent noticeable flickering and reduce the whine to imperceptible.
CRT TVs on the other hand are typically 320x240 or later ones are 640x480 and they're limited to 50 or 60hz. They suck compared to desktop CRTs, but do have their place for retro game consoles as they're the type of display those consoles were designed for.

>DLSS is unplayable
This. Even at it's best, it's still blurry. I have to enable it in Talos Principle 2 to get it to run at 120fps on my 3070 Ti and if it weren't such a slow paced game it'd be unplayable. All the textures are noticeably blurry until you stop moving and it takes a second or two for it to correct itself. You can literally see the textures get clearer.
Other games I've tried with DLSS (Yakuza series, Death Stranding) look even worse, backgrounds are always blurry and it fucks things up like character's eyes when blinking, but at least my GPU can run those games at native 1440p without issue. I really don't understand anyone who says DLSS is better than native. It's a crutch, which is fine for old hardware, but it shouldn't be the default option.
>>
>>101103221
TDP is a marketing number really - you need to see actual reviews for actual power draw and (important here) the transient spikes. It isn't much good if the card pulls 250w most of the time but then spikes to 350 and trips your psu OCP. For the FE at least in techpowerup's testing they saw it hit 289w for example. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-founders-edition/31.html

FSR is even worse. Upscaling should NEVER be needed to run a game on recent hardware. If it is, it's poorly optimized and the devs should work harder to make it work natively.
DLSS is the worst thing Nvidia could've ever released. It's made devs dependent on it.

Because it's 1st person. I can do 60fps in 3rd person games, but anything 1st person feels so stuttery if it's not 120fps+. I do regret buying a high refresh rate monitor. 60fps didn't feel bad before, but now it's unbearable and I have to have a much higher specced computer than before to run games at double the framerate.

Many modern games support 16:9 and 21:9 only now. Anything using UE4 or UE5 for instance and most console ports out of Japan.

I know gaming at 4K is mostly GPU bound, but I have a 3900X currently and I'm wondering if it'll be worth upgrading to a 5800X3D.
It's temporary, I'm planning on a new build late next year but I don't want to blow a huge amount on switching from AM4 at the moment.
It's paired with a 4080.
>>
>>101103540
I went from 3900x to 5800x3d at 4k with a 7900xtx and noticed quite a jump in some cpu bound titles - particularly some older titles that can't scale past 4 threads for shit which meant the 7900xtx was stalling out waiting on the cpu. The two specific examples that stand out in my mind are far cry 3 and 4 - you need to limit them to 4 threads anyway but my fps doubled going 3900x-> 5800x3d in those two titles.

Garbage card not worth $5. Unless you're upgrading from integrated graphics, you can get something better. A 3060 will use less power than a 2060 or 2080 Ti and cost way less that the 2080 Ti.
