Brehs, Pc just restarted on its own with a distinct click on the PSU. It's been stuck on a bootloop since, with the PSU click each time.

Yes sorry the drive cage is not the way to go. You'd want to use the HDD tray kit(s) in "storage layout". Found this pic with a rad and T30s up front so there should be plenty of room. Obviously the drive itself will block some airflow but that's unavoidable.
If you /only/ need 3x HDDs maximum then I think you could put a multibracket on top of the PSU shroud. Best for airflow but you said "at least" so I'm assuming there will be more drives added in future.
One caveat - if your 3090 is a particularly large model then you may want to go up to a full tower.

Is be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX a good case?

Asus prime AP201 vs Lian Li A3, any thoughts?
seems to me that A3 is extremely compatible with most parts, considerind the very small size for what it is, but the cooling, especially fully on air, seems to be compromised by using botton to top air path with fully closed front
I think I prefer the ap201, even it it's bigger by volume, basically the same footprint, not small enough to put either of them on the desktop, but a3 has the front panel connectors on the bottom
why the fuck do they make these supposedly "small" cases so fucking long instead of tall, do they not fucking realize that table space is valuable for people
I'd fuck with the thermaltake tower shit if they made a proper one and not shitty connectors placement with glass all around

Possibly. TPU did their testing and found it and the Lancool III within 2C of each other, noise normalized in both CPU/GPU load temps. Living up to its name, it's about the same noise as the Lancool at full tilt, but 3db quieter at idle.

1: Standard advice - clear space, no carpet, take your time, RTFM.
Watch a detailed build video and follow along. This is what I used last but I'm sure there's something more recent out there if you care to look (not that much has changed). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5jFXl0GZJo

2: Everything should be included. Be aware that some components will be in "odd" places eg. M.2 screws in the mobo box. You will need a Phillips head driver. Ideally both PH1 and PH2.

3: It's compatible with Windows 10 but I can't speak to LTSC CCP ACAB Edition or whatever. If not, it'll be because of a M$ lockout; not by nature.

Check the mobo bios and flash the latest one if it isn't currently installed. The fun part is (iirc from skimming the documentation) LiveMixer can do it without the cpu installed if you really wanted to.

If money's burning a hole in your pocket then I'd suggest a pair of good pair of headphones, a cheap USB DAC and Amp for sound setup. Consult /hpg/ >>101404491
Also if you find your monitor's ergonomics lacking you can get a cheap gas spring VESA-mount monitor arm for maximum flexibility like this example (€25):

Nothing major. The video I linked has a sequel detailing what to do on first boot. Enabling XMP/EXPO and confirming the boot order are the main things to do in the BIOS. Check the revision while you're in there - just make sure it's reasonably recent i.e. you didn't get old stock.

EU user seeking advice on optimal airflow PC case

Looking for recommendations on a PC case with efficient dust prevention:

Seeking positive air pressure setup
Prefer configuration: 2 big front fans or 3 smaller frontal, 1 rear fan or so
Standard tower size for best airflow
Budget: 100-160 EUR
Prioritizing functionality over aesthetics
Prefer darker colors, not white

Main concerns:

Effective dust prevention
Good airflow
Reasonable noise levels

Not particular about brands, just need a cost-effective solution that meets these criteria. Any advice on specific models or general tips for selecting a case with these features would be appreciated.

>>101468326
What country?

>>101468339
Romania.

>>101468110
It is just an i/o shield/retention bracket. How did it come off? Those things are normally screwed in so the damage to tear it off would be catastrophic and if it just rattled loose just screw it back on. Option B I guess would just find/make something to prop the card up to stop it pulling all of its weight from the pcie slot.

>>101468110
>sends a 4090 unprotected
fucking kek

Just google I/O shield gigabyte 4090, there are a couple ebay listings up for like 15 buck, though if the mail company dropped it hard enough to bend the io shield something on the card itself may've been knocked loose in which case you ARE fucked

I just realized GPUs point downwards when mounted horizontally. Why? Can't you mount it upside down so the fans point towards the ceiling, helping it cool down much more, with the CPU cooler and case fans helping the hot air evacuate faster?

>>101468853
Fans do much better pushing than pulling.

File: 5jcwr.jpg (81 KB, 1024x736)

>>101468853
GPUs pull cold air to cool itself, the coldest air residing at the bottom of your case, while releasing heat from its sides. Mounted like this the GPU is also isolated from the heat-producing CPU. Last but not least, you can't mount it backwards because the PCI slot works one way only, and if you try to force it you'll break it.

How much do I have to spend to get a good OLED monitor?

>>101468326
>>101468344
Okay. Here's a jumping off point for your locally available modern cases (with Type C front USB connectivity) in your budget (apparently ~800 RON is equivalent to €160):
https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#X=0,82531&D=16,4,8&sort=price&f=2&page=1

You'll want to take a close look at each and see how many fans that come preinstalled to meet your requirements and importantly if a removable front panel dust filter is included. Of those the ones that stick out to me are the:
be quiet! Pure Base 500DX (need to reposition the 2nd top intake to the front)
NZXT H7 or H5 Flow RGB (not the vanilla H5 that only has 2 fans preinstalled)
ENDORFY Arx 700 ARGB
and Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact.

Possibly the Deepcool CH560 too if you find a good deal for it.
Check individual reviews for them.

>>101469009
Oh, 27" and 1440p, sorry.

>>101469010
>>101468326
Lancool 216 is the go-to imo, it's 95€ in Romania. Its 2x160 1x140 fans are enough for most users so you don't need to buy any more case fans.

>>101469009

About $720 for a good QD-OLED (360Hz):
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TfQKHx/msi-mag-271qpx-qd-oled-265-2560-x-1440-360-hz-monitor-mag-271qpx-qd-oled

There are cheaper 27" OLEDs but they are based on older/less-good 240Hz WOLED panels that have worse color volume and matte coatings that ruin contrast and clarity. The latter is especially bad as 1440p OLEDs already have issues with color fringing on text which is why I typically recommend the 4K 32" models instead for around $1000 which isn't much more than the smaller lower-PPI 1440p SKUs.

Does anyone here know a source where *ALL* major RTX cards, preferrably 4070 (Super), are compared including metrics like PCI powerdraw?
So far I have only found Igorslab to measure it but they only did so for very few cards.
Why does it matter? Some aftermarket cards are at the limit and potentially exceed specs e.g., KFA/Galax.

Yeah, this ain't it chief. With that money you can buy two good LCD monitors, one VA one IPS, and they'll serve you much better.

>>101469144
Thanks, should've mentioned I'm in EU as well. Sorry, the heat is getting to me. I have a 27" IPS that I want to keep for work/text display because I do use my monitor a lot for that. The OLED would be strictly for vidya/video content. I much prefer 1440p to 4K for performance reasons.

>>101469280
>The OLED would be strictly for vidya/video content. I much prefer 1440p to 4K for performance reasons.

>>101470150
BeQuiet if you care about noise otherwise whatever is cheapest or you like most.

>>101470089
Depends. Some people are introduced to vidya as children/adolescents and because it's an activity where you can achieve success and be rewarded for comparatively little effort, it's easy to get sucked into it. Add to that a proclivity towards being shy or finding social interaction difficult, or even something like being on the spectrum, and well, you're almost guaranteed to spend your developmental years playing vidya and not building the skills that allow you to be successful with girls.

I'd suggest getting a better CPU anyway,
1. loading is faster the faster your CPU
2. LOD buffering is lesser the faster your CPU and RAM
3. this is personal experience and hearsay, but the better your CPU AI less prone to bugs, not kidding, you know when AI gests stuck and glitches out, a common thing on consoles

There was an important HUB podcast update about how much the Acolyte sucked.
And I guess how we still don't have any info or leaks about Zen 5 pricing.

I have an RX6700XT as my main GPU and want to install an R9390 to watch Netflix while gaming or whatever. Can I install just the driver for the 6700 since the 390 is EOL and has years old driver? How could I go about undervolting the old card so that it consumes as little power as possible?

I have some old shitass HP Pavilion with an I7-8700 CPU and 6GB GTX 1060. It's unupgradeable since it has a proprietary PSU, case and mobo where nothing fits. I have a spare PC case and 580W PSU lying around, is the processor still good enough to shell out a couple quid for a standard mobo and some newer entry level GPU like RX 6600 to extend its use as second machine? Or would the performance gain not enough to justify the upgrade?

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION

Are SSDs safe to buy from the grey market? Vendor says it's new, with the unopened box and everything. I'm pretty sure there's ways to tamper with the box, so I cannot trust what the sticks says, so I have to open it in his presence. Is there a way to check if the SSD is genuine then? And even if everything is fine, how rare are defective/suboptimal SSDs? Specifically a Samsung 990 Pro.

>>101472742
Sadly there are no good Nvidia GPU's in the 300-400 range. Purchase a used 3080 or 2080 Ti.

Gonna be completing my PC build recently and the news about intel cpu crashes has spooked me a bit, 14700k which has like the 4th or 5th most crashes. Is there anything I can do to reduce the possibility of crashing?

Easy method: buy amd
Difficult method: underclock the cpu so it doesn't crash, it will lose performance though

>>101475365
That's what I heard but I didn't know if there was anything else. Is "underclocking" easy? 14700k is beefy so it probably shouldn't matter in most scenarios outside of actual intensive shit like 3d rendering or w/e, right? I don't even think most games would utilize that much "power"

>>101475398
Just update your BIOS and then set the CPU profile to "Intel recommended limits" or whatever. You'll lose 20-40% of the max perfomance based on the particular game, but it won't crash anymore.

>>101475398
Don't know if it's simple down clocking, maybe you need to fiddle with the power limits as well. Look up actual solutions.

I don't think RT will stay a meme forever. When Nvidia is this dominant in marketshare for such a long period of time they are going to have their way eventually by shoving it into more and more games.

>>101475691
RT was always going to eventually take over - this has been known for 30 years. The problem is today is not that day and while what we have now is all kinds of insane from a computing perspective that isn't particularly relevant to the end user who is just looking at their games and going "yeah looks nicer but my framerate being a quarter of what it was is not worth it". I could see within 5-6 years the big games being made with RT in mind and traditional methods of lighting being fallback mode but it is likely a good 10 years until RT is just how games are made. Consider not only the hardware side but the amount of work that has to be done with software and developers learning the tools.

Anyone bought those chinkshit mobos in aliexpress? How long have you had it and how are they holding up? Looking to buy a really cheap NAS. But most PC parts are catered towards gaymin'.

>>101475913
>I could see within 5-6 years the big games being made with RT in mind
Try even less. The new ratchet and clank game (from 3 years ago) somehow is able to run at 60fps 1080p with full RT reflections and lighting. The game technically has a mode that disables RT and renders at 4k50fps but there is no reason to not just use RT whether you want 60fps or 4k.

I think we'll see a lot more games be built with RT in mind when even console games can run it at 60fps.

>people larping like electronics don't have a life span or if it's even relevant.
Even if lots of people will throw away a monitor after 3 years, what other people don't want normalized is an engineering focus on making products last only as necessary.
People are going to want to hand down their electronics, sell it or put to reuse elsewhere. Or maybe someone's upgrade cycle just isn't as short as yours.

>>101476951
It's alright. The only demanding games we get on PC are console ports, these days. Plus these RTX cards are way more powerful with the Supers cheaper than the OG 4000 series non Super cards. Whatever you get at a 4070 Super or above, it'll practically last forever.

Are these needed for all GPUs now, or only the 4090 due its size/weight?

>>101477794
>Are these needed for all GPUs now, or only the 4090 due its size/weight?
it is purely for the big chungus gpus. If you want to believe the rumours the 4090 was specced as a 500w card and coolers were built to handle that only for nvidia to revise the power limit fairly late and everyone just went "fuck it, we've got the design, ship it". Not many gpus beyond the 4080 and 4090 are so massive though I think the nitro 7900xtx comes pretty close.

>>101476951

Always better to turn whatever resolution you can run into a higher resolution with DLSS. 1080p DLAA doesn't look as good as 1440p DLSS Quality, and they cost the same in terms of performance. 1440p monitors are also dirt cheap these days, and you can even get one with passable HDR for under $300 if you're in the USA

>>101476550
Not worth spending your money on a 1080p monitor unless you have some specific esports use for it, and in that case you'd already know what you're buying.

DLSS? How would that help using wrong resolution? If I ever need to go from 1440p to 1080p on a 1440p then the image will be blurry. How would DLSS help? And also isn't it like dependant on games and whether or not they support it?

Newer versions of DLSS don't invalidate the old ones.

>>101479345
>How would that help using wrong resolution?
You seem confused. DLSS is reconstruction technology. 1440p DLSS Quality has an input resolution of 960p (IIRC), but it looks substantially better than 1080p full resolution. The performance cost is also similar. Study the image I posted previously and maybe you'll understand

>whether or not they support it?
Most demanding games support DLSS. Almost 100% of new Unreal Engine games support DLSS, and that's by far the most commonly used engine

and what about older games that neither support dlss nor 1440p resolution?

NTA but that's terrible advice. I've built entire PCs out of second-hand components and saved thousands of dollars, and I can count on just one hand how many scams I ran into, and I'm talking minor stuff, a few hidden flaws of the components, not broken or fake ones. As long as you follow common sense (does the vendor have good ratings, age of the account, what else does he sell, is he hesitant with basic questions you send him, etc.) you're unlikely to get duped.

Need some help pls. Just gonna try my luck here since not many people browse the windows thread. So i started a reset of my windows 10 PC for the first time ever. I choose the Keep my files and then Locall install route. Checked in every couple of mins to see the progress but now it is stuck for ~90mins in a blue screen with a dotted circle that is frozen and under that a text: Windows is being installed 9%. Please dont turn off your computer.

Yeah so like I said the percentage hasnt moved from 9% and also since the circle is frozen and not spinning I dont think its progressing at all. Im close to just turning it off and seeing where that gets me but I thought i might ask here first.

No no no, if the card is 2 years old or more it's toxic and will explode and you must buy the new one.

>>101481294
I'd tell you to wait longer, but not much anyone can do for you here. If you have waited less than an hour, I'd recommend you wait 2-3 just in case, because you chose to keep files instead doing a clean install like you should have.

If he lets you open the box you can try to register the serial number (it also tends to ask for the model number) on Samung's website after making an account. Unless he somehow tampered with both the box and the sticker on it, which seems unlikely, you should be safe. Best option is still and will always be testing before buying if the vendor is in your area and accepts that; with an SSD it's not even a hassle to do, but I can understand vendors not allowing strangers into their homes.

Is their a recommended heatsink for gen4 nvme drives?
>motherboard heatsink
The ones supplied are kind of shitty and just screw on top of the drive. Nothing to attach it to the heatsink properly. I want to be able to remove the drive from the slot, I do it often and don't want to have to fiddle with the thermal pads and reinstall the heatsink every single time

>>101481718
Thermalright's heatsinks like the HR10 sit right on top of the controller chip and NAND memory chip, and you have 4 screws ensuring contact, so the temps are exceptional. You're not gonna gain accessibility with it or any other heatsink; if you want to be able to quickly pop it out and in at all costs, no heatsink is your only option.

>>101481590
I turned it off and thankfully after failing one more time it reversed it back and rapired itself or whatever. Guess i learned my lesson this time. With clean install you mean getting windows with the media creation tool onto an usb stick and installing it from there?

>You're not gonna gain accessibility with it or any other heatsink; if you want to be able to quickly pop it out and in at all costs, no heatsink is your only option.
Why wouldn't a double sided heatsink work?

>>101482126
Right now I'd recommend the usual AM4 upgrade path of the 5*00X3D, 32GB RAM, and the best card that fits your budget. Leave it much longer, however, and it could be better to replace the system wholesale.

>>101482126
What >>101482145 said, but the price om 5800X3D has really skyrocketed recently to unreasonable levels so if you can't find a good deal on one consider the 5700X3D (especially off Aliexpress) which gets you most of the perf. Make sure your BIOS is completely up to date first before upgrading the CPU.

With only a 2x8GB setup you might also want to throw some extra RAM in the other 2 DIMM slots later for edged cases as HUB showed recently (or just replace them with a 2x16GB kit and keep the 8GB DIMMs as spares if the motherboard decides it doesn't like having all slots filled, they can be fussy about that sometimes):

>I am going to install it under a DH15, I'm a little concerned about the clearance of that
It's 43.8 mm, but you usually can't install it with most fans from my experience, DH15 defintely won't fit on its width, so you gotta move it to a secondary or tertiary M.2 slot.
>Why wouldn't a double sided heatsink work?
If you meant just removing it with the heatsink on it, then my bad, I misunderstood the question. That's no problem, it's one screw to unscrew, only an issue if you want pull out the drive too.

Are you retarded? I'm saying that 1) old games aren't demanding so you'll have no problem running 1440p and 2) if they're so old that you can't use modern resolutions without problems (unreadable text, etc), you can run the game in a low resolution, either fullscreen 720p with integer scaling or windowed if you want

>>101481072
The main problem with the game is that it only uses software Lumen, so every surface is absolutely crawling / boiling. Software Lumen is straight fucking garbage, and you can thank AMD's trash tier console RT for that

What's a good build for CAD & 3d modeling?
Current setup is a Ryzen 9 3900x w/64GB RAM, a 5700xt, and 2 27" curved displays. Honestly, it still pretty much crushes whatever I throw at it, but it's getting a little long in the tooth (got it end of 2019) and I'd like to upgrade. Plus it's a tax deduction, so fuck it.
Country: USA
Budget: keep it under $3k

>>101483024
If you want to keep it cheap, get a 5950X and whatever card is suitable for your software stack. If you do want to burn through the whole budget then you can build something pretty much TotL. However, I will caution you that next gen CPUs are weeks away and Nvidia's net gen is EoY. God only knows how expensive the 5090 will be though.

>>101483840
I'd say it's disingenuous to claim the 216 is bad just because it gets mid(still decent) performance in GPU thermals. Also the lancool 3 is heavy which can be a big downside for some people.

>>101474147

>>101476314
I'm honestly not sure. I tried to figure that out myself before pulling the trigger. I pretty much looked at everything in the 90-120$ range for 1080p monitors. Everything I found either was no-name chinkshit brand or had some kind of problem in the reviews. People were saying good things about the MSI in the reviews, both on Amazon and Microcenter's page. I looked at some of the video reviews, and it looked like the best option in that price range compared to some of the other stuff out there.

The other monitor I was looking at was the KOORUI 24E3. I've read that KOORUI makes panels for other, bigger, well-known companies. The reviews looked pretty good both on youtube and the review sites. But the thing that just ended up putting me off was the no-name brand. It probably would have been fine, but those upper capital chink brands on Amazon usually just give me bad juju for some reason, so I just ended up ordering the G244F E2 because had equal-better specs for a lower price.

If anyone has any other comments about the G244F E2, I'd love to hear them
