this might be a giga inept tier question
but if my pc while playing counter strike 2 sits at around 40% utilisation for both the cpu and the cpu, why does my framerate tend to average in the 90s, being as low as the 60s during the beginning of matches on maps like ancient on my 144hz monitor? why doesn't the cpu and gpu utilisation go higher to achieve that 144 frame rate limit? maybe it has something to do with my gpu sitting at 40w while playing when under heavy loads it can go up to 215w? oddly enough i get the same performance regardless of gpu settings, yet my cpu utilisation is never close to maxing out, so it's not like the cpu doesn't have more to give
other games perform as expected with the exception of this one

Only thing brainlets or even normal IQ & careless people mess up is the orientation, which is easy to figure out if you pay attention a little, since the "teeth" on the memory aren't uniform, a little notch in both the RAM and DIMM slot lets you know if you aligned right or not.

Im upgrading my failed RX 480
On one hand i dont want to spend money on unnecessary power that i wont use on a 60Hz FullHd monitor, on the other hand i dont want to get something that is already outdated

RTX 30__ seem to be strictly outclassed in either cost and/or performance by RX 66__

Since the 6600 is most likely perfectly enough for my needs, is there any reason im not taking into account to spend ~50% more on the 4060 for 25% more performance?

>>101567540
Check prices for the 6600XT, the 6650XT is a factory OCed version of it.
If the 6600XT costs less than 230, it's worth buying.

>Incompatible with every motherboard on the market

I've recently built my own PC, which is my first ever build. For some reason, whenever I boot up I will get intermittent drops in my internet connection that last between 5 and 15 seconds. When I look in Event Viewer, I get the following message: Event 1014 "Name resolution for the name push.services.mozilla.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."

I have no idea what this means and have exhausted every resource to try and fix this. Does someone here know what this is and how to fix the issue? And whether it is a hardware issue or an ISP issue.

PC specs:
CPU - AMY Ryzen 7900
Motherboard - Gigabyte X670 Gaming X AX
Ram - 64GB 6000MHz
GPU - Radeon 7900XT

I need a whole new PC minus the keyboard and mouse.

Just watched it and it appears this "recall" is a nothing burger. Based on AMD's official statement to them the reason they recalled them is that they found out some of the first batch had issues so they had retailers send them back and they're already shipping them new stock. The 1-2 week delay is to make sure that satores have enough stock and to make sure they get there in time. Steve(HUB) even said that the review samples for creators are currently being shipped per his AMD rep.

Cpu wise, a 12400F/5600 would be nice. The single threaded performance on even just these is enough to obliterate anything a few generations older, so they should run your games. i3 12100F should also be fine.
Emulating PS2 is something you could do with a 4670k and a 750ti no problem, so no worries here
For the latest games, it'll depend which ones really, but an RX 6600 should run the vast majority of them at 60fps 1080p low. And anything that isn't Alan wake or Cyberpunk-tier should run much better than that

i don't just mean it's a bad idea in practice, i mean some mobos will give you the cpu error light if it doesn't detect a cooler

Anyone here who has owned and can recommend a decent budget 24 inch, 100 or more hz monitor for 1080p Gaming? I want to spend 140$ max and its really hard to pick one out. Plese recommend if you have one that you owned and used for over a year without any issues.

Was essentially going for "whatever is cheap while still being a decent quality part"

16gb 3200cl16, 1tb of an alright ssd, R5 5600X + RX 6600
aftermarket cpu cooler since the stock one isn't amazing, a decent airflow case that's pretty roomy even if it's a little old, and a 600w psu so you have some room to upgrade to something like a 4070 down the line for example
if you want you can add an extra 120mm at the back of the case too, honestly just about any fan is fine for that purpose

it's nothing fancy but the IPS panel should give you alright colors, and 100hz is unimpressive but a very nice upgrade over 60 today

I'm using it on my desktop cpu, gpu, and my laptop.

Honestly, did not notice a difference in temps but didn't make much attempt to measure and compare, but my temps did not get worse, pretty much stayed the same. It was a pain in the ass to apply and a lot of it got thrown out until I started putting it in the freezer before trying to apply it.

I'm going to use it from now on because when I went to replace the paste on everything including my 1 year old video card, there was effectively no paste remaining and just a chalky mess.

>>101570621

>>101570322
I used a carbon pad on a radeon VII gpu once and that helped temps in a very minor manner. I recently put some of that ptm stuff on my 7900xtx as the stock paste had started to pump out (first time i've ever had that happen) and temperatures didn't change compared the stock paste when it was new but I don't have to worry about it pumping out ever again.

If most 4080 super's are fucked by their thermal paste, which one should I get if I have no experience in repasting GPUs?
Should I just get a 4070 super ti instead?

>>101570322
I use ptm7950 on everything. my 5800x3d, my 6950xt, my 980 pro 2tb.

>>101570858

>>101570322
The best thing about them is they're reusable. Paste isn't.

>>101570858
also I don't think it's just the 4080S that have shitty paste, I think it's a general problem across the entire gen

So apparently my gpu has only 1 hdmi port and 3 dp ports. Right now i use that 1 hdmi port for my monitor but i also want to connect my tv to the pc to watch some movies from time to time. Can i just get a dp to hdmi cable and use this to connect pc to tv or would it better to get a long normal hdmi cable and use the 1 hdmi slot for the tv and then use the dp for my monitor. I dont really know what the difference between those 2 is so im not sure which is the better way to go

>>101570941
best to buy a dp cable and use it for your monitor and leave hdmi for the tv

>>101570941
TV HDMI, displayport monitor

Don't buy converters if you don't have to. Displayport is better than HDMI for monitors generally anyway.

>>101570941
If sound is being played out the TV speakers, use HDMI
If sound is coming out through computer speakers use DP

>>101570941
Sorry if this is confusing but basically i wanna know what is better. Option A: Use the single HDMI slot for my monitor and a DP slot for the TV with a DP to HDMI cable. Option B: Use the single HDMI slot for my TV with a long HDMI cable and use a DP Slot for my standart monitor.

Nvidia cards can do gsync and freesync. Amd cards can do freesync. Consoles use freesync.

Gsync is proprietary and mostly rare (only in monitors not TVs). Just make sure what you buy either does both or freesync, and make sure the freesync range doesn't suck (ie: you want something like 30-144hz range not 100-144hz or some dumb shit).

>>101570928
>>101570858
its affects everyone (amd+nvidia+intel). its their board partners. reference/FE are using ptm or pads already. the people with higher end cards (4080 super, 4090, 7900xtx) are going to complain about it harder since it they run hotter and you notice the fans/temps rising.

4060 or 7700XT? How true is the AMD drivers are bad meme?

>>101571047
The drivers are fine.

What's your opinion on the AOC Q27G3XMN? Is it better than just getting the IPS dell G2724D?

>>101571047
remember that for both gens every gpu is a tier behind. so a 4060 is actually a 4050 and a 7700xt is actually a 7600xt.

the 7700xt is still better.

>>101571047

The shit paste seems to be a recent issue seeing as we're only hearing about it from latest gen GPU owners. My hope is that all AIBs move to ptm7950, some of them already ilise it anyways so it can't be that expensive.

That's a good suggestion, and something I'll probably end up doing if nothing else works out. Some of the monitors, like Lenovo's g24-20, look fairly ordinary if you just replace the 1337 epic gamer design stand. It's just an additional cost

Thanks for the suggestions. My budget is somewhere around 200, but if I can get a good one for cheaper that's good too. These are all pretty clean looking, I like the Benq in particular

>>101571689
A 3070 ti perhaps

>>101571691
For up to 200 you can definitely get a better one but for me personally i think unless you wanna play fast pace games or competetive shooters you can save a lot of money and go with a cheaper one. For 1080p 24inch and 100hz is great for normal/singleplayer gaming and other stuff. But I would definitely get an IPS panel. Good luck with your search.

>>101571689
>6800
Default choice for minmaxed 1440p builds right now.
>4060Ti
If DLSS or low power consumption is desirable at the cost of significant reduction in raw performance.
>Used 3080
Ideally the 12GB model but take what you can get. Has both good perf and DLSS but sucks power like the Chris Chan straw.
>6800XT
Current lowest price on PCPP is $430 but worth mentioning if you can stretch. Best raster out of the cards here and plenty of VRAM. Also pretty power hungry.

>>101571818
100hz is definitely enough. Just jumping from 60 to 75 was pretty impressive. I think I'll still pour in some extra money for G-sync compatibility. Good luck to you too anon

Is there a reason why to avoid the silent cases especially the Corsair 4000D?

Which is better, i7 14700k or the ryzen 7 7800x3d?

>>101572007
The 14700K is do-not-buy until Intel releases their microcode update. Once that happens, and assuming it actually works and doesn't cripple the CPU, pick the 7800X3D for gaming and the 14700K for workstation/multicore (with or without gaming).

depends on what type of error you're looking for. a gpu is a complete system basically.
gpu core error? test a demanding game or something like furmark.
memory error? test an app thats memory controller heavy like https://github.com/GpuZelenograd/memtest_vulkan
vddio/vddci error? you need a multimeter to poke around the board.
anything more advanced than that involves board repair

So I got a 3090 recently and now my pc makes a super high pitched noise barely within audible sound, which gives me bad tinnitus thay sticks around for ages. I'm guessing it's either the 3090 or the psu. The 3090 has its own coil whine when under load which is much lower pitched so completely manageable, but this is an extrememly high pitched noise perfectly constant in volume and pitch. Any thoughts on what it is and how I can remedy?

>>101572417
The cheapest card is almost always going to have crappy cooling - extra metal costs money. If you want a cool/quiet build you'll have to up your budget or lower your performance expectations. That or learn to undervolt.

>>101572421
it can be both the gpu and psu. not much you can do about it besides replacing.

>>101572398
But isn't "G-sync compatible" just a certificate? Online sources say adaptive sync works on Nvidia cards just fine on monitors without the label, it just isn't turned on by default. Wouldn't this mean any monitor with just some kind of adaptive sync (and decent range) is okay?

>>101572421
If it's relevant at all, there are suspect capacitors on my mobo too. I know this because the bios resets to factor settings when there is a power cut.

>>101572465
g-sync compatible labels means they had no issues using freesync on nvidia gpu. certain freesync monitors that arent gsync compatible can have compatibility issues with nvidia ranging from vrr flicker at best to black screens at worse.

>>101572465
Yes G-Sync Compatible is just Nvidia's certification program for the VESA Adaptive Sync standard and yes most monitors that support that will also work with Nvidia cards regardless of the certification. That said there's not much, if any, price difference between certified and uncertified monitors so no reason to risk it.

>>101572493
>>101572496
Alright, thanks for the clarification

crazy. the psu was from seasonic who as far as I know are not cheapskates, and I just got the gpu the other week second hand. My old pc had this tinnitus white noise problem too. Who eoudvle thought it would reappear on a build with completely different parts!

>>101572160
Just because it's coming out in 3 weeks? If the release weren't just delayed, I'd be more amenable to waiting because I don't really want to wait any longer. Shouldn't the 7800x3d or 7950x3d be good enough? Sure, they'll fall off faster since they're older, but they'll still be a colossal improvement over what I have now.

>How true is the AMD drivers are bad meme?
Still true. The drivers crash regularly, Radeon lacks software features, and the drivers have systemic flaws, such as problems with memory
management or DX11.

>4060 or 7700XT?
They're in different price classes, unless you mean the 4060 Ti. Personally I would avoid Radeon, although if you're obsessed with the $400 price class, you can find arguments for the 7700 XT in contrast to the 4060 Ti, which can't be said for most price classes. The 4060 and 4060 Ti have their own problems: they have mediocre VRAM (which can occasionally mean lower settings than a card with higher VRAM), and they have x8 PCIe lane connections, compounding the VRAM issue when the card needs to transfer a lot of data back and forth over the cut down bus, especially if you're not using a PCIe 4.0 system.

7700 XT: Radeon's systemic flaws, such as shitty reconstruction (FSR). Not worth the money if you can avoid it
4060 Ti: Too much money for an 8 GB, x8 lane graphics card
4060: An option, decent for people with PCIe 4.0 systems who want a (((((cheap))))) graphics card. Has DLSS Frame Gen, but the 8 GB memory cache means that Frame Gen will be sometimes difficult to use, as it takes VRAM, so in some games you'll be deciding between Frame Gen and higher texture settings or other settings that use VRAM, like RT in some implementations (although the 4060 isn't generally strong enough for RT anyway)
3060 12 GB: Slightly less powerful than the 4060, but has a full x16 lane PCIe bus and was designed for PCIe 3.0. Good for upgrading older systems. Lacks DLSS Frame Gen, but has more VRAM, meaning FSR Frame Gen will be easier to use and you won't have worry about performance problems related to VRAM

Better than IPS, as the IPS has horrible contrast and glow. The Q27G3XMN has decent response times for VA, higher native contrast, and enhanced contrast because of the FALD miniLED backlight.

>I'm just worried about it's longevity
Not a concern. 8 GB only occasionally causes any problems (i.e., less than max settings); 12 GB will be fine through the end of this console generation and into the next

>>101571629
The other notable option is the q27g3xmn, which has budget HDR capabilities

>>101573686
when you slap your cpu with high turbo load instantly, heres the difference:

>aircooler revs up fans instantly
>watercooler is silent until 5 mins later it warms up

Should I go for 64gb ram or is that overkill for gaming/browsing?

3 140 fans or 2 180 fans? I want the lowest temps possible while keeping fan speed down.

>>101567289
dang, nice, do most CPU's not pass?

>>101573756
that assumes you actually have a setup that lets you set fan speed based on water temperature which many don't

>>101573776
if you have no specific reason to get 64gb you'll be fine with 32

>>101573776
I'd say 32 is more than you'd ever need. 16 is probably the minimum these days. I see no value in 64.

>>101570208
that's a nice card anon, enjoy it guilt free

>>101573796
the pump is doing most of the work. most have it running at 100% if the fan is running at 40% or higher. depending on you setup you need more or less. the bigger the radiator, the longer it takes for the water to heat up. a 360 aio for example takes more like 20 mins.

That's an unfortunate price class, as there's nothing good at that price point. Read >>101573610. My advice would be to either punt with the 3060 12 GB or 4060 non-Ti for under $300, or up you budget to $600 for a 4070 Super. The latter is preferable from a performance standpoint. If you can find a decent 3080 on the used market (and undervolt), probably the best option if you want to stick to the $400 price point

>>101572007
The 13th and 14th gen i7s are in the midst of stability woes, do not buy. Between the two, if you're only gaming, I would get the 7800X3D anyway, as gaming doesn't care about muh cores, which is the benefit of the 14700K. The 14700K is a multicore CPU primarily (i.e., CPU Blender rendering, video editing, etc.)

>>101572269
I would say no. The only Gigabyte cards worth buying are the ones with the Quiet BIOS switch (and of course you have to use it), meaning the Gaming and (I believe) Eagle variants are acceptable

>>101573835
steve said your pump should always be at 100% thoughbeit

>>101573835
yes, but the core temps still rise at load, so unless you have the fan speed set based on water temperature or have static speed then they will still quickly spin up in response to load

Remember to ignore the shill.

>100hz
There are no decent 100 Hz monitors. The minimum is 144 Hz, as they're recent panels with good adaptive sync implementations.

>>101572465
>without the label
You definitely want to make sure that monitors without the G-sync compatible label have good adaptive sync implementations. A lot of them have major flaws, which means you need to be able to find a professional review that addresses adaptive sync quality

>What do we think, can we play path traced games on a midtier rtx 5060
I would say no or barely. Right now I would say the 4080 Super is the minimum for good performance and image quality with path traced games like Cyberpunk 2077 with RT overdrive. Likely the RTX 5070 will be nearly 4080 Super performance

>>101573353
Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing, Metro Exodus Enhanced, Portal RTX, Dying Light 2 with RT, Alan Wake 2 with path tracing

>>101573678
>I do, since you could see the difference at normal desk distance from 96ppi vs higher at 60-80cm
doesn't really matter if you notice a difference being that you'd get used to it + the OS isn't designed for a high PPI.

>>101573870
the liquid freezer 3 pump at 100% is fucking annoying though, are you seriously supposed to run that all the time?
considering it's one of the quietest I can't imagine what dealing with other AIOs is like

For $3,200 would you rather get a 14900K/4090 build or an M2 Max Mac Studio? No memes. They're both drastically different when it comes to benefits.
Apple's RAM/SSD pricing is a scam but I'm liking their silicon. I could run Windows in a VM comfortably even though it'll be crippled so that's a good cope.
The delays, Intel's CPU issues, and AMD's drivers have me considering switching.

Who the fuck said AMD was ever better than Intel? They're just cheaper.

I'm in EU so no used market, no 200$ aeron or free leap v2, most brands don't export shit here

>>101574414
AMD runs Gear 1 while Intel runs Gear 2. AMD has lower memory latency (up until you hit the meme fabric).

I sold my 7950X and I'm waiting for the 9950X, should I upgrade my RAM too or are 6000mhz enough? A 32x2 6000 kit was outrageously expensive already

>>101574247
>14900K/4090 build or an M2 Max Mac Studio
7800X3D and Asus ROG Strix 4090. Or better yet, wait for AMD 9800x3d, 5090, x870e

I bet they cut corners just like Intel. Probably the exact same shit causing oxidation off the CCX module connects. And they're trying to hide it as a packaging error or something because they have good yields on TSMC's yesteryear fabs.

There needs to be an actual regulatory body like the FTC that does what the fucking FTC is SUPPOSED to do

is this reasonable?

-I could go for aGygabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX instead of the b650 but I was like "eh, I dont need that many USB ports"
-vulcan z is for a cheapo boot drive
-psu is for a later monitor/gpu upgrade

>shilltel copelets are still seething

Lol no, they are just having issues hitting boost clocks (safely) because of the wider cores. TSMC does not cut corners.

>>101574613
>TSMC does not cut corners.
>Both AMD and Intel start having issues when they 100% commit to their fabs
Sure Chang.

>>101574625
AMD committed to TSMC 5 years ago. Apple has been using TSMC for a very long time, and they aren't hesitant to cut off a partner that screws up.

They both love TSMC because their chinkshit is absolute trash and constantly prone to breakage. Keeps the customer coming back regularly.

Intel is just late to the party out of ego.

its kinda crazy how much lower temps you can get from delidding a cpu and using liquid metal
its dangerous as fuck, but its still cool

>>101575782
If you want to go crazier there are cpu coolers that can reach the freezing point of water.
then you have a new problem to solve, water condensation inside your case or you fry your motherboard.

>>101575595
Maybe I'll upgrade when DDR5 prices start to come down

>>101574889
Yes, but half cache, so the 4600G is actually worse

>>101567540
Why not a 6700 XT or 6750 XT? Same price as the 4060 with better performance and 4GB more VRAM.

>>101574889
No. It has only 8MB of cache.
5600G is comparable to a 3600, a tiny bit faster on average on account of the Zen 3 cores and extra clock speed.
