Not really a build, but I'm hoping you guys can help me since it's desktop hardware related.
The only game I play anymore is Minecraft (Java) on my really shitty laptop. It has a fucking dual-core i3 and 8GB of slow-ass DDR4 in it. After installing Sodium the game generally stays locked to 75 FPS (max refresh rate of the external monitor), but when loading in new chunks it grinds to a halt with the framerate dipping into the low 20s for a few seconds. Sodium/Fabric are the only mods I have installed and I'm not using anything fancy like shaders.
That all being said, what should I get if I want to just play the game at a stable framerate? I'm thinking the issue is CPU-related since it's a mobile dual-core from 2020. Currently I'm looking at 8th gen intel Optiplexes and they seem to fit the bill, but I'm not sure if the quad-core CPUs in those would suffice especially since they're the T-series ones.
Can I get something decent for like $300 USD?

>>101964514
2hu is so lame, I'm convinced people just pretend to like it because it's "weeb culture" anyways, good luck with your build

>>101964514
$300 is cutting it pretty close. Like you'd need to wait/look for an uncommonly low-priced Optiplex and used GPU to make it work. I'd say the more typical "brokefag gaming rig" starts at $400 - ~$300 for the office PC and ~$100 for the card.
With that said, unmodded MC is pretty damn light on the GPU so you might be able to get away with the Intel HD IGP on those machines. Can always save up for a card later if you like.
If you can save $400 upfront then DIY also becomes an option eg. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MdKGrv (left some room in there for expansion/tax). Naturally the other route would perform better for general gaming but DIY would allow for later expansion/upgrades.

Should I be going based off of what the QVL of the motherboard manufacturer for ram or the company selling the ram sticks? Was looking at a few and noticed that they don’t always line up, particularly the non RGB variants that I’d rather have.
On a side note, are there ram sellers I should specifically stay away from? I was looking at G.Skill, Team, and Kingston for CL30 kits for the 7800x3D.

Imo unless you need your screen to be flat for professional reasons just get the alienware, you'll get used to the curve which isnt as big a deal on ultrawides. Your monitor is relatively new so going ultrawide+oled is the best way to get to feel you have made a substantial upgrade without spending $1200 on the 4k 240hz oleds.

>>101965125
>Since I already have a 1440p should I get 4k? Is it even worth it I mostly play ARPGs or casual single player in general.
The improvement in picture sharpness 4k offers over 1440p is marginal. As for OLED you might want to avoid it if your games have lots of static content due to burn in. OLED is the biggest jump in display quality after +60hz, if you're not afraid of babying your monitor go for it.

Is SMT off better for latency for X3D CPUs???

>>101966407
HT / SMT does have a latency impact and is measurable.
Will you notice it? No. So just leave it on as in some cases, games benefit from HT/SMT.

>>101966407
Not for the 7800X3D, there's so much cache it barely goes out to memory

Good case but not worth the value. You need to bring your own fans as the stock 2 are dogshit.

what exactly is the difference between ram timings of 30-40-40-76 and 30-40-40-96? i'm looking at 2 different pairs of 6000MT/s CL30 64gb ram and the latter is $50 more

>>101966504
the stock 2 are fine, just cheap and you only get 2.
It would cost Corsair SFA to add 2 more fans and a hub

>>101966533
The fourth number is tRAS. If you're into RAM tuning, secondaries not listed are more impactful to performance. tRRD_S, tRRD_L, FAW, tRFC, tREFI

>>101966429

Since when can you not buy two kits of the same ram and not run them both without issue? they have the same XMP profile, same timings, etc.

>>101967710
Two sticks of RAM can be overclocked easily since the CPU only needs to keep track of 2 RAM sticks. 4 and you will not be able to achieve the advertised 6000MHz speed.
Long story short:
If you want to OC your RAM and get the fastest speed then go 2 RAM sticks.
If you just want large amounts of RAM and not the speed then go 4 RAM sticks.
You cannot have both.

Very common on DDR4. You could buy two 3600C16 kits from the same brand, one would be DJR and the other would be Rev E, those would never work together.

The speed. Because RAM speeds are so fast now CPUs can't really keep up.
CPU can keep track of the timings for first RAM stick easily, same with the second. Add in a 3rd and 4th it starts to lose the timings of the first and second stick leading to instability.
There's a lot of RAM sticks with no RGB. Just stop looking at name brands.

Because people don't realize that paying an extra $100 (ONE HUNDRED) for marginal, like 1-2C, cooling is down right retarded. Your CPU will run fine at 70C or 68C. Paying $100 for 68C is dumb.

"Do you want your ram to cycle LED colors?"
Yes - you idiot.
No - Run long and hard.

Nephew: DDR5, was cycling colors... machines crashes... ram turns solid white. ALL four spids now have lost XMP profiles. ALL.

Run your ram as fast as it can by design, and turn OFF THE ****in RGB.

Noctua is worth it for lifetime support and autism engineering, if you're willing to pay in that price range. Saving $30-50 on some deepcool or bequiet! premium chinkshit isn't worth it. If you don't want to pay just get a thermalright that has 90% of the performance for 1/3rd of the price.

>>101968184
Later batches are also equally good but beware 12th gen launch year (2021) Asus z690 motherboards, those have a serious defect with ram overclocking which limits them to 5600-6000mt/s max stable

>>101968159

their fans??????????????????????????????????
it's literally a chunk of metal with two 120mm fan on it. the fan is busted just buy a second fan once it happens
holy shit, that is literally the stupidest reason i heard for people going with a noctua cooler

>>101968159
it's not $30-50, it's $80-$100, Noctua is overpriced, especially when you consider you can get an Arctic Liquid 3 AIO for the same price as a D15

>>101968219
aio has expiry date tho

Noctua will mail you out free adapters for platform changes for like a decade and won't dump trash on the market like the Assassin IV with its fan resonance issue.
>>101968219
>AIO
top tier retard.
>>101968234
I actually chose a phantom spirit over the the d15 g2 for my newest build since noctua are tards and their fans are incompatible with modern DIMM sizes.

Any corsair case that is good and cheap?

>>101968249
>Noctua will mail you out free adapters
all cooler manufacturers offer that
>top tier retard
that would be you noctuafags paying four times a product value

>>101968249
>Noctua will mail you out free adapters for platform changes for like a decade
And how often does this happen? Every 5 years? 3? Not only that, how expensive are those adapters anyways?
Let's say you need an adapter change every 4 years and it costs $30 for it. You would need to use the same cooler for 12 years before you get your money's worth.
lmao
And AIOs are fine even with their limited lifespan. If it lasts for 5 years and it costs you $90? It's definitely worth it.

>>101968315
The adapters are more like $10 so it's even longer

>>101968288
>noctuafags paying four times a product value
t. buys chinkshit marked up 10x. Noctua needs to cut prices by about a third but you at least get some value from the higher prices. Most air coolers more expensive than a thermalright are a total scam that would be outperformed by a single fan D15 G1 setup.
>>101968315
>You would need to use the same cooler for 12 years before you get your money's worth
Yeah, that's called quality engineering. You shouldn't need to ever replace your cooler if you stay roughly within the same TDP. Anyone who buys a new cooler because it cools by an extra degree in some controlled GN benchmark is a tard.
>AIOs are fine even with their limited lifespan
The problem with liquid cooling is the rest of your PC getting destroyed with a leak.

Anon, CPU advances and won't be the same TDP 12 years from now. And it's not quality engineering because it's literally a radiator with a fan. If a fan lasts 12 years without the bearings wearing out I'll be surprised.

As for AIOs the pumps fail first before it even leaks.

Even a thermalright can handle a 200W TDP and I doubt that 12 years from now, there will be more than 16 physical cores per chiplet even in an enthusiast grade cpu. I don't see any reason to believe that a nock tuah or any other well engineered cooler couldn't last a decade in a consumer PC.

>>101968529
When you consider 120mm fans are as cheap as $4, you are retarded for buying Noctua.
But hey, it's your money. If you are not going to listen to advice then why even post your build? Go buy whatever you want to buy. I ain't stopping you, what I will do is just call you retarded.

Alright, I’ve narrowed down memory picks to this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/. Got the Taichi for $270 at Microcenter and now I just need to get some RAM compatible with it. According to the QVL the Kingston and Team sticks are supported (Hynix A-Die and M-Die respectively) but the G.Skill kit is a wild cars: the vendor says it works but ASRock doesn’t have it listed. Am I fine to go for the cheapest set or is there a major difference between the dies that I should be aware of?

The 245K is slower than the 14900K which means it's slower than the 7800X3D, even doomfag uplift still buries the 14900K and 245K even further.

What RAM is better:

>>101969434
Intel would love this naming scheme

>>101969456
It will expose their tricks if they ever try to refresh that cpu as a new "gen"

I recommend using letters for sockets.

And, I think we can come up with our own naming scheme.

I suggest the first letter is the company. So the first letter is either a or i.

the next is a number. it's the year of release, in 2 digits.

next is the socket. we can use letters. after the 25th, we'll switch from lower case to upper.

next is the number of cores, total, without any indication of quality etc. it is a number padded by zeros, and is 10 digits long, for future-proofing.

...0000000004 is a 4 core cpu.

we finish with memory type, designated by letter in the fashion previously indicated.

the ending is list price, and this time we use 100 digits, padded by zeros, to harris-proof the convention.

00000 00000 00000 00000
00000 00000 00000 00000
00000 00000 00000 00000
00000 00000 00000 00000
00000 00000 00000 00350

to indicate $350 msrp (spaces should be removed, I added for clarity)

>>101969467
They could just refer to the socket by its letter for the refresh V2-6p8k, it's a whole different sku

Supermicro X11SSM-F with Xeon E3-1240 v6. 32GB of ECC UDIMM. I hate Noctua but their coolers fit a lot of Supermicro boards with no hassle so I went that route. Inside a Fractal Design Define 7 XL. Quadro P4000 for Jellyfin, a 8i SAS HBA but only using 22 HDD, 19 raw storage with 3 parity. Last two slots are kept empty when I need to swap out a HDD. And a 10GbE NIC.

I might need to upgrade soon. X12 is going EOL soon and Xeon E3-1200 v6 and v5 are already EOL. But I'm in no rush. It's expensive to upgrade. Only thing I really want is rather than UDIMM I wanted to use RDIMM but RDIMM Supermicro boards are expensive.

>I've had it for 2 years, I'm thinking until 2030 it will be good for me. I'm going to squeeze all the juice out of this AM4 I can before then.
I've had my 3300X since 2020 when the 3600 was $300 dollarydoos and the 3300X was $220, right now the 5600 is $170 dollarydoos and I'm tempted.
planning on keeping this system until AM6, the 2060KO is doing fine so I doubt I'll upgrade that until then either.

pathtracing is bullshit nvidia pushing for marketing, it's like trying to run RT on 1070 back in 2016, you technically can do it but why?
DXR GI is alright if devs spend a bit of time on it, Wukong devs clearly only copy pasted nvidia dlls, because their main market traget is consoles and game runs perfectly well without RT

Please suggest me a GPU

>>101971415
The market has spoken, PT will be the future whether we like it or not.

>>101971357
>60fps, RT with upscaler
Should be fine then. At least for RT - full PT will be a stretch but to be fair even the 4090 struggles with that.

>I don't think it will survive for 5 years
Agreed but, again, no card on the market today will do that. Meaning you'll have to decide if it's better to buy a 4090 now and reduce your demands over time or do a mid-cycle card upgrade.

Looking to upgrade my monitor. Since desk space is limited and I sadly have no space for 2x27" I'm considering a 34" ultrawide.
Use case is mostly programming (work and personal), music production (Reaper, VCV Rack) and some gaming, although I do that more on my TV. GPU is a RTX4070.

Been eyeing the Gigabyte M34WQ for a while.
34" 3440x1440p 144Hz flat IPS with KVM so I can hook up my work laptop easily.
Currently at €439 where I live.
Don't think I can get a curved non-VA ultrawide at this price, can I?

Any better alternatives?

>>101971425
unironically rx 580, insanely cheap for the perfomance, if ur not gaming it will work perfectly fine with 4k, 3 hdmi ports, 1 dp port and 1 dvi port
tho idk if it will last 10 years but its like 60$ will last at least 5-6 years if it hasnt been mined on

>>101971426
>PT will be the future
yeah, in 5 generations if we are lucky, we are nearing 2nm node dead end, GPU will reach it's limits, remember "20nm" years of suffering? multiply that x3
PT is bruteforcing method, that doesn't even look that good outside showcases(look at 2077), you cna't magically make a chip that will run something like that if you run out of space for the cores, I'd rather they focused on tech like lumen from UE, hybrid approach, consoles clearly doing that

Removed the 1x16gb and this time enable XMP or whatever it was called.
I remember I wanted 32gb for some labs/vms I had to run, which I now don't nor will need anytime soon.

Still would appreciate input about the monitor

USA, soft budget $1,500; hard budget $2k. Monitor is a 1080p 60Hz Samsung. How retarded is this build? I'm trying to upgrade from a potato PC I've had since 2014, and I'm aiming for something that can run Elden Ring and GTA V at mid to high settings. Could this do the job or is it under/overpowered? Also, is using a micro ATX motherboard in an ATX case a bad idea?

>>101971558
that's severely overpowered, upgrade your monitor.

What do you mean you don't have desk space? Why not get two monitors that have vesa mounts and a chinesium single mount dual monitor holder? It might be better than a gimmicky ultrawide.

How big of a jump will be going from Zen+ to Arrow Lake

I have bought almost all of the new parts to assemble a new computer to replace my old system. The only thing left is GPU, which I am still undecided on. I live in Denmark so prices are a bit odd, but the choices are:
7700 XT for about 3500 DKK
7800 XT for about 4200 DKK
7900 GRE for about 4900 DKK
I'm playing games at 1440p, and ideally I'd like to buy a GPU that's going to last me as long as my last one did (GTX 980 from 2015). I know it's impossible to tell what will happen in future, but my understanding is that there's a fairly large jump in performance between each of these cards, so is it worth paying the bit extra today for the 7900 GRE to prolong the period it's good for. I don't play AAA slop.

>>101972099
7800XT is best value, you get a 20% jump going from the 7700XT to the 7800XT but only a 10% jump going from the 7800XT to the 7900GRE.
are there any 6900XT/6950XT's still available in Denmark?

No, it's fine. Actually makes building easier on account of the extra clearance from the extra space afforded from the "oversized" case.

>>101971963

Good move. Was still overpaying for the cooler, PSU, and NVME drive. Also that 2TB HDD is a terrible deal for $/TB, when this 6TB SKU is triple the capacity for only $3 more.
Trimmed about $140 of fat off your build for no performance loss:

Also with the savings under your budget please listen to >>101971631, 1080p@60Hz in 2024 is sub-bottom-of-the-barrel. There are many cheap but well-recommended 1440 high-refresh gaming monitors for available now for very little that WILL be a night and day difference in your gaming/computing experience like the ASRock PG27QFT2A & Dell G2724D both well under $200:

>upgrade from potato PC I've had since 2014

Morning, homos! I have the most retarded question the history of PC building questions. I have a NVME raid card in my current PC that I have a fuckton of games installed. I would like to move it to a new one in a couple months. Can I just unslot it from the PCI slot and move it to a new PC and Windows will recognize it, or do I have to unraid and wipe them first? It's not my OS install drive, and it's a software Raid0 config. And what's a good AM5 motherboard that supports more PCI-E lanes and bifurcation so I don't have to put my GPU in the 8x slot like an asshole. Intel looks to be my best best for that, but I don't want to buy Intel for obvious reasons.

>>101972133
>are there any 6900XT/6950XT's still available in Denmark?

>Have a fat gaymer laptop with shit tier battery life

I don't feel like dropping 1.3k on one of those Snapdragon elite X laptops with 25 hours of battery life just yet, but I am fucking tempted to just not to have a fat piece of shit not gonna lie
might wagecuck and just drop some bands to not have to lug that fat shit because this is gonna be painful

TLDR anyone have any opinion on the HP OMNIBOOK X's?

>Poor man's question
A friend gifted me his old GTX 1660 Ti. For me it's a great upgrade from my old 1050 Ti.

My cpu is a Ryzen 3 3100. I could get a second hand Ryzen 5 3600 for like 45$ or a 5600 for around $75. Is it worth upgrading the cpu for a better match with that 1660 Ti?

>>101967914

I did that, it has zero issues since I got it, I lucked out it seems. I'll probably repaste it next year, so far the thermals are great too.

>>101973304
It's not worth it, no. I have a 1660S with an R5 2600. Almost nothing ever stresses the CPU whilst the GPU often reaches 100% utilisation. At this level of GPU you don't need to think much about CPU.

>>101971700
Desk is 120cm wide and there's studio monitors next to screen. Can't move the studio monitors any further apart and between them would fit at most a 34" ultrawide. It is what it is.

>>101973304
Maybe not for the gpu but in general tasks that 3600 is a nice upgrade for your 3100. If you can get it for 45$ I think its worth it

>>101973416
>doesn't know about CPU limited games

I currently have a RTX 3060 12gig graphics card and an AMD 2600. Is this causing a bottleneck in my system where I should upgrade my CPU? I have 16 gigs of DDR4 memory and a 165hz 1080p monitor

I'd prefer to keep the same motherboard, it a Gigabyte x570 AM4 socket
