What are they thinking right now?
The cable of the USB 3 header of the front panel of my case is shorting, how can I fix it? Can I just use electrical tape on any suspicious part?
What's the bare minimum one can breadboard a motherboard with? Only the CPU + cooler and the 24-pin cable? Or do I need the 12V cable as well?
>>107987722you'll probably need the eps
toasting in a shill bakepeople are going to have sour grapes when the 5070 ti goes to $1200 or higher and they waited because nicofag's op told them 829$ was "insane".Ah well, no sympathy for poor waitfags or canada parasite invaders.
>>107987722Yeah you need it.
>dollar crashes against my currency the same month GPUs and SSDs skyrocket in price
>>107987794yes waitfags are retarded but kill yourself for dramaposting
>>107987794Quit being a brand fag for nvidia it doesn't care about you retarded konata poster. Telling people to not buy a 1000 dollar 5070 ti isn't shilling nor does it make me the nicotroon. This is is not nvidia pc building general. You can make an nvidia thread if you want to tell people to buy their cards no matter what price out of some kind of cult like loyalty
>>107987792>>107987796thanks
>>107987822you're the one telling people not to buy nvidia, im not telling people not to buy amd. you're the braindead brandfag who claims to know how prices are going to go and giving bad advice in your shitty op.
>dont buy 59 series its a terrible product>ok, we'll sell to businesses only >NOOOOOOOO BUY 50 SERIES NOWlolplayed urselves
>>107987822it's not $1000, you're nicotroon, he's the only one who thinks it's priced insanely. You can go buy an MSI Shadow for $830 right now. Stop being a faggot.
>>107987822>This is is notRings true.>>107987794>>107987855Shut up you /faggots/. I come here and "steal" the OP from the amdanon for the lulz, I have lost count now of how many times. I'm a certified nvidiot who also recommends AMD cards for budget-conscious users. And at the moment I think all GPUs are overpriced but WTF are we going to do about it?>Tech neutral.

Is it worth getting a soundcard for anything still in 2025?Are there any benefits over mobo audio?

Above is an nvidia brand cultist that thinks telling people not to pay the currently super inflated prices for two specific models of 50 series is "AMD shilling". The GPU still has more nvidia cards recommended then AMD. This retarded brand fag is losing his shit over two models undergoing a shortage not being recommended
>>107988046no.one.cares.>>107988027>Assless chaps are the mandatory uniform.
>>107988046your posting pattern is recognized, nicotroon. probably mystifying that we can do that but it comes with having higher iq than a chimpanzee.
I just figured out that my 5600 mhz kit I bought used is a Hynix M die, what are my odds to be able to get 6000mhz 32/36/36/36 without increasing the voltage to 1.35?
>>107988100>>107988091
>>107987988Bump since my post just got buried a bit
>>107987930Are you implying AMD cards are not subject to tax...?
I can't bring myself to actually pull the trigger on a build and I keep missing out.
So why are the cpu coolers increasing in price?
>>107988155copper shortage
>>107988100you can do up to 6000cl30 up to 1.35v but you probably have to loose up the sub timings like 38/38/high tras if AM5
Post your unpopular PC building opinions
>>107988153I'm currently sitting at my desk surrounded by parts and I genuinely cant decide whether I should build it or return all of itThe pricing situation has me on edge, im not quite broke but having the money would be nice, at the same times, everything is getting more expensive to waitfagging will likely fuck me overWhy does everything have to turn to shit, why cant we just have nice things
What case on the market has the best airflow? Fractal North?
no answers for ppl posting in a shill thread
>Other thread deletedLmao. Looks like the jannies decided throwing a tantrum and making duplicate threads because two overpriced models got recommended not to purchase isn't valid.
>>107988177Everyone should have a ram fan
i swear to god i gotta tell you something let me let me tell you something bitch
>>107988204The other thread died...
>>107988229Wat? Waiting on my bracket to cool my RAM, my AIO setup starves the mainboard of air wash.
>>107988252Once you go 65k trefi and 120ns trfc you cant go back to whatever the fuck you were using before and you need a ram fan for that.
Report all flamewarring, trolling, spamming posts. Long live /pcbg/!Remain vigilant, /pcbg/, report in silence, and above all - have fun.
>>107988262Certified retard here what do those numbers even mean
>>107988229my choices are either an ugly rattly corsair ram fan bracket, 3D print one or buy the new Asus Glacial motherboard that has a snap on ram fan

whats the trefi meme number for ddr4?
>>107988390130k if your cock is big but 65k if you've got a pindick like >>107988262

>>107988177Most of the time stock coolers are fine.
>tfw trfc/trefi = 0.03I am truly a ram overclocking god, I still could push one of two timings a little bit more, but I'll wait for the 7800x3d in am4 to do that
>>107988578Not untrue, but aftermarket ones can certainly be quieter. Considering replacing my old wraith stealth with a royal knight or something since the spin up is starting to bug me.
>>107988605you can't even adjust tREFI on AM4
>>107988621yes you can
