its over for amd

am I, a below average human, going to notice the difference between a 137ppi density screen and a 163ppi screen?

I'm currently using old 24" 1440p monitors and am ready to upgrade. I like the idea of having 32"s being significantly larger than what I'm used to (even mix of gayming and cad work), but I'm sure i'll be fine with 27"s if the increased pixel density is significantly and noticeably "better"

>>101171231
also I've never had larger than a 24" screen- would a 32" look weird with shit like the task bar?

>>101171290
people generally get used to larger screens very fast and dont want to go back to a smaller one
32" 4k is pretty standard for productivity

First time building a PC, trying to make sure it's fairly portable since I'll have to carry it around a lot. Planning on using it for college (data science) and gaming (Most intensive game I plan on running is probably Arma 4 when it comes out). I just want to confirm with you guys if the parts look good (also I have to get all my parts from Amazon since they're a gift from my parents and they don't want to buy parts off other websites).

I need help upgrading.
I've been using an i5-9400f since 2019 and up until I started playing Cyberpunk 2077 I did not feel it was bottlenecking my 3060ti.
Friends are saying ddr5 has its issues such as boot times and some boards are finicky on the am5 side. I do not want to be stuck on an older generation again just because of the socket on my motherboard. Where do I go from here?

AYYMD was always a second source supplier living in the shadow of Intel. Their response to Hector Ruiz still holds true to this day.
>Intel pointed to AMD's "playing it safe... with anemic investment in manufacturing capacity, leaving Intel to shoulder the burden of investment to enhance the usefulness of computers and enhance the market." In addition, Intel claims that AMD has been "dogged" by a reputation of being unreliable as a supplier, has traditionally lagged in innovation, and has seen products delayed well beyond original launch dates.
>AMD has only itself to blame for failing in the marketplace. When AMD delivered on time, it gained market share. Intel has no control over their delivery schedules, that is completely in AMD's hands, they just aren't living up to their customers and it shows with their market share.
>Intel said it has demonstrated over a 30-year period that it can deliver faster, better, and cheaper products to consumers, in part because of its continued multibillion-dollar investment in new capacity and research and development even during downturns in the semiconductor market.
>"In short," Intel wrote in its response, "AMD's colorful language and fanciful claims cannot obscure its goal of shielding the company from price competition."
Particularly bang on pointing out AMD's poor reliability as a supplier (especially now since they are fabless) and lagging behind in innovation and launch dates whilst investing little in R&D and capacity. It's less of Intel and NVIDIA being bad and more AMD just being stupid as always.

Am5 is fine if you avoid MSI boards and non-hynix branded ddr5 ram
>>101172747
Ram is too fast
6000cl30 is better for a plug and play expo profile

>>101173075
Cope. Intel and NVIDIA used every lever at their disposal to gain market share and deny it to their competition, "rules" within the market are just dressing for pencil pushers. If they didn't think they could get away with it, they wouldn't do it. Especially considering the incompetency of their main "competition", particularly in diplomacy and marketing.

>>101173087
RAM can be too fast?
Also I don't really plan on using it as a plug and play, it's just that I'll be moving around every couple of months so I don't want carrying it to be hassle. Besides that though everything looks fine? Also a big concern I am having is that it seems like only 1 of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers is connecting to the case despite there being 2 headers and 2 ports, anyone know why that's the case?

>>101171429
Depends on how you see it
You can see it as these drives have been running constantly for 5 years in a rigorous operating environment and that alone make them untrustworthy to use
Or you can see it as these drives are otherwise in exceedingly good heath despite how long and hard they have been ran and thus likely have lots of life left

Personally I see it as it's $80 for 12TB, a new WD red is $240 for the same capacity, you'd have to get very unlucky for a new drive to be worth it.

>>101173218
6400 is too fast for most am5 CPUs since you'd have to run the fabric at 2133mhz where most CPUs max out around 2066mhz (6200mt/s ram)

Plug and play means that you'll not have to fuck around with voltages, clocks and timings manually to get it working reliably. If you're into overclocking, by all means get a 6400 or 6800 kit to play around with.

My pc is from 9y ago. I got an RX 6700 XT on a discount some time ago and I would like to upgrade my pc. It would have to be basically a new pc. I don't know much about pc building but I was thinking about jumping to ddr5. Any advice or some builds to recommend?

>>101173218
Its a quirk of the architecture, if the memory speed is too high the infinity fabric can't keep up and switches to a lower speed ratio to the memory speed which hurts performance

Not him but why do you people exist. You will never have any of this benefit you because you are not a shareholder. Competition applies positive pressure to provide people like you and me better products and services, certainly. But the result of eschewing the 'dressing' you're dismissing is borderline scam products like the 4060 Ti 8gb, and more and more predatory price rigging.

>>101173273

>>101173274
That said I agree AMD is retarded.

>>101173364
Absolutely. I mean who fuck just glues cpus together? That shit was outdated by 2004.

It really surprised me how much of cooling is just diminishing returns
Like, a perfectly good dual tower air cooler is $35, yet a 360mm AIO over 3x the price is only marginally better. Lots of fans are also unnecessary, just 2 intake and 1 exhaust will significantly decrease your temps vs no fans, but adding more case fans barely does anything, I guess unless you need lots of low rpm fans for a quiet build but still with good temps

>>101173274
Let's not also forget that prior to the onset of the 2010's how AMD has been making virtually no money or growth from their product sales due to Intel simply being able to shut them out through bribes towards retailers and OEMs among other unfair tactics all over the board as the US DoJ put it. Most would probably be able to remember how you literally couldn't find systems with AMD parts in the early 2000s even when they were dominant for over 7 years, or that most people would be completely unaware that they even existed or had better performance in both desktop and servers.

That, and the decades of litigation since the 1980's where Intel was trying to kill off AMD from the start and have the x86 market to themselves. Had they succeeded, and AMD went bankrupt come 2010 due to having no money left to invest in R&D or fabs (which Intel likes to poke fun at deliberately ignoring why they don't have the resources to spend in the first place) then NVIDIA would have also likely been shut out of the market overnight as Intel controls the PCIE and ATX standard. They were that close to becoming a total monopoly.

This would also trickle into the graphics market, as Radeon GPUs would become neglected and sidelined in favor of CPUs. So even the current GPU market can be partly to blame on Intel's corporate antics.

>>101173381
>yet a 360mm AIO over 3x the price is only marginally better.
it is all about what heat load you are throwing at it.

In that case think I should just use this?

>>101173381
Everything outside of CPU and GPU is diminishing returns pretty much
It actually annoys me how much people try to convince others to spend so much more on what ends up being small changes. Like I get your excited a $25 fan is 15% better than a $5 but that doesn't make it good for everyone.

>>101173406
With CPUs being as heat dense as they are it's not all about heat load. A 360mm AIO should be able to dissipate 300-400w but struggles with certain CPUs well under that wattage

>>101173651
>liquid cooled gpu
I don't recommend this, it's going to be annoying to maintain and resell in the long run.
It's going to need an air-cooled shroud or a custom water block when the pump fails or the coolant evaporation affects performance.
Practically all of the air-cooled 4090s have oversized coolers to keep it relatively cool & quiet.

NR200P is based, that is all

>>101173651
Both platforms are pretty stable as long as you only install 2 ram sticks, so, up to 2x48gb would be fine.

I wouldn't buy below gen4 though, those you can still use with normal heatsink
gen5 I think you actually start needing active cooling for the memes to function

those shitty gaymes need to implement that new loading thing that was supposed to happen but nothing happened yet so yeah

is 1100€ for the lg 32 4k oled a decent price?

it's even 100€ less than the cheapest 4k 240hz oled then which is the alienware one here
where are you getting it this cheap
the ppi and wrgb clarity seems doable yes, but I think 100% scaling at normal desk viewing distance would be miniscule, even at the same ppi at laptopt distance it's quite small, I'm using like 125% browser scaling at laptop distance

check lg website, on my socialist shithole it has a base price of 1399€, but there's a 15% pre order discount, 5% coupon for first buy, 2% discount on everything for being a member of lg website and i also added a 1% cashback because of my card

>>101174782
It's supposed to be cheaper so that's a negative. GRE has more VRAM and slightly better raster, 4070S has better features and is more power efficient.

>>101174795
>no way it costs 1700€ lmao
https://www.lg.com/se/monitor/ultragear-gaming/32gs95ue-b/
it's the most expensive one out of all of them by far here
the alienware is "only" 1200€

>>101174858
it's possible that they will update the price, on my country's website the price was 1599€ until the 24th and then it was lowered and the pre order discount was also added
oleds are overpriced anyways

>>101174881
same price on all other retailers
if it's cheaper than the alienware buy it easy choice

How hot is too hot for a hard drive these days? There's around a 5-10C temperature difference If I stick my Toshiba drives inside my chassis versus laying them outside separately. They're cooking at around 46c right now. versus 35-41c.

>>101174782
GRE is only worth it if you only need raw rasterization (no RT) and it's considerably cheaper, the 4070S is just plain better otherwise

>>101174789
>>101173833
>>101173835

>>101175213
>Wouldnt it be too much for it to handle?
No it's fine, and you can cut power consumption quite a bit with an undervolt.
>between the 7700xt or the 7600xt which one is the best value?
Neither are really great. The 7600 XT is pretty weak and the 6800 performs the same or slightly better than the 7700 XT but with more VRAM.

If someone could help me with understanding PCIe SSDs and NVMe and stuff I would greatly appreciate it.

I am in the process of building a brand new PC but ran into trouble late last night while installing windows. Both windows and my bios did not recognize my ssd. I have a gigabyte b650 eagle ax motherboard and my ssd is a team group 2tb 4.0 x4 with NVMe. I installed the ssd into the first (top) PCIe slot on the motherboard, which I am now seeing is actually a 5.0 slot. Is this why it is not being recognized? I see there are two other PCIe slots behind where the GPU would sit that are apparently 4.0. To be honest I haven't built a computer or dealt with new parts in over 10 years so this is all very new to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on taking the GPU out and trying those other 2 slots today, but I just want to know if that is actually the reason why the ssd was not recognized.

The image reconstruction technique used in FSR's upscaling algorithm has a lower image quality ceiling because it uses less frame data from the game with no AI-trained upscaling technique.
FSR only looks at current frame data whereas XeSS & DLSS uses data from current & past frames for image reconstruction.
AMD just wanted to make something that even works on PS4, Xbox One, and even the Switch hardware.
They don't prioritize delivering the best possible features for their Radeon dGPU customers.

It's just faggots trying to validate their purchase.
NT-H2 is fine. Kryonaut is wasting money because it was never developed with maintaining long-term optimum heat transfer in mind, it's probably going to perform worse than MX6 in the long term.
Thermal Grizzly showed off new pastes for long-term application purposes during this Computex.

How much should I value a dGPU in a laptop? Looking to buy a gift and I've got the choice between 12650H for $320 and a 12450H + RTX2050 for $400($500 for same ram/ssd).
They mostly play older games, but modded to hell and back to the point of >10GB mods per game.

Why the fuck do companies stagger releasing their new products instead of pushing it all out at once? Why wait longer for X3D chips or lower end GPUs?

Der Bauer has the integrity to tell people to just buy Hydronaut instead of Kryonaut for standard application.

Most common AM3+ board from the 990FX chipset I can find is the ANUS Sabertooth, for FM2+ it's Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-DS2 along with ANUS A88XM Pro boards. But I am certain there are much better models if I want a complete build from this era.

You'll be running in DLSS Performance in new games most of the time, and occasionally you'll have to optimize around the VRAM for the best performance. But generally the VRAM will be the least of your worries. High end RTX 50 will be out by the end of this year, at least the 5080 if not the 5090.

I've always been a bit of a wristlet (probably because I've slept on them my whole life).
If you just take a few days off any time you notice some discomfort you should be able to avoid any actual persisting damage. Carpal is a meme if you just pay attention.
Playing low sens and using your whole arm to aim is really strong in AFPS and that also happens to reduce wrist fatigue.

Why would you be looking at a 1650 anyway? The 3050 6 GB is the best GPU if you need mobo only power, otherwise you obviously wouldn't be considering a GPU like that. You8 can get a 2060 used for a little over $100

Trying to do the impossible and hunt down a single slot GPU for a reasonable price (equally impossible). The RX 6400 is another overpriced piece of shit that floods this category, but it is useless due to the lack of features like hardware encoding unlike the RX 550.

>>101182039
thermal goo is a solved problem. you want something that doesn't pump out, lasts a long time, and performs well. mx-6 according to arctic lasts for 8 years after its applied which is about the time you upgrade your hardware. if you want to go the extra step theres ptm which lasts forever.

pretty sure that's the advertised shelve storage time

>>101182608
MX-6 and MX-4 both state they can last up to 8 years "after application". If you properly store it with the cap on it will last forever.

Need a low profile PCIe wifi card. Was looking at this on amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NFMSGGR/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

Is there a better option on the used market? This is for a emulation box SFF PC.

> I was able to boot into BIOS before by removing one of my 2 sticks of RAM, but now when I try it it doesn't work
Of course not. Always clear CMOS after changing DIMMs or CPU to reset BIOS to default values. Default means the BIOS does not expect a configuration it learned before. Once you found your optimal settings for a specific hardware configuration save them to a USB stick so you can just load them in after a reset instead of dial in all 9000 settings manually again.

Why mutts always mention micro center? But every time I see information about it people driving there for hours.

Hey anons, please help me understand what's wrong.
I bought a used CPU and a new PSU. Installed everything, but the computer doesn't boot nor beep, it just manages to turn on, and the red light next to the power button does never blinks, just stays continuously on, even though it usually blinks.
GPU's fan spins, cooler's fan spins, PSU's fan spins, so I presume they are working alright. What I'm wondering is if the CPU is the culprit or if I might have fucked the RAM, because I took it out and used a brush on it due to dust.

You better have buyer protection on that thing.
Check the debug LEDs on the motherboard. Try using only one memory module, it's usually recommended to install single stick in A2 (depends on manufacturer).

I been there, its really nice. Its a really quiet and clean place and everything in it is just tech stuff. It's a type of store you really don't see anywhere so you're just kinda of amazed by it. Its really hard to describe it, you really have to visit it to understand.

Give the system a minute or two to initially train the memory.
I'm guessing you reverted BIOS settings to defaults before you upgraded the CPU.

>>101183682
I don't think I changed the bios, just took the old CPU off the socket and installed the used one in its place. The bios is already updated to support this used CPU

It only shows how flexible their platform is for not needing new boards for new CPUs to work

>>101183957
That's because zen5 is just copy and paste from zen4 with most of the ipc work done by tsmc. amd right now is very reminiscent of intel during skylake era with 0 innovation

>no one wants to make AMD motherboard
Socket longevity is probably one of the reasons
It's great for the consumer who doesn't have to buy a new motherboard every second generation like on Intel's side.
But it screws the board manufacturers because now they have to support their older boards for longer and they can't even guarantee additional board sales when people upgrade within the same socket.
