Because my 5800x3d can't do 3800mhz/1900mhz, it can only do 3733/1866mhz. My old 3600 did 3800/1900 with the fans same ram. Most 5800x3d can't do 1900fclk

Yeah after researching monitors all day that is pretty much my conclusion. Looking at the 271QPX right now, would prefer 32" like the AW3225QF but I cannot stomach spending $1000 on a monitor and do not really want to deal with 4k so 271QPX seems like the best bet right now.

>would prefer 32" like the AW3225QF but I cannot stomach spending $1000 on a monitor
It will serve you longer than a GPU. So 1k for 5 years at a minimum is alright I think, also look at MSI MAG 321UP, it's 165hz 32 4k for $800. But yeah, 4k is not for the faint of heart, I'm going 4k only because I'm tired of messed up video upscaling, it will be so easy to upscale 1080p movies to 4k or plain download 4k rips. Nobody makes videos in 1440p.

6700xt or 3070? Both are used for 320usd. or is a used 6600xt for 220usd a better deal? Pairing it with a 5600 to play lol and soulslike games. A new 6600 is 230usd for me.

>>
>>102006430
hmm, not worth it.

ill just wait.
>>
>>102006356
I'm only familiar with AMD's FSR3/AFMF
>is it implemented in games or is it in the driver?
FSR3 is in game and only affects frames generated by the engine, AFMF is driver based and affects everything generated by the game including UI elements.
>Does it work with fixed frame rate?
It does and can make games/engines that only operate at 60FPS generate additional frames usually up to 120.
>>
>>102006356
>Does it work with fixed frame rate?
yes, it works very splendidly on Elden Rings which is locked to 60 fps
>>
What makes AFMF2 really good is it just needs DX11/12, opengl or vulkan to work. This means for old games (DX10 and older) with fixed frame rates if you use a DX wrapper like dgvoodoo2 you can inject framegen as that is all it needs. Or even just games that run like shit in general - framegen ontop of DXVK in GTA IV id pretty sweet.
>>
>>102006556
>>102006633
I see, thanks. I just checked a video about it, it doesn't look that good on lower frame rates, seems very glitchy.
>>
>>102006684
Yes, ideally the sweet spot is 80-140fps. A stable 60 is fine as well for engines that are locked to 60. That's why >>102006299's post is so accurate, AFMF works wonders on my 6800XT.
>>
>>102006684
Sorry, turns out it was actually LSFG I watched, that doesn't look good at all. I guess FG looks somewhat better, that's actually implemented in the game.

ideally you just need to hit half of your monitors refresh rate. for example 120hz = 60fps, 144hz = 72fps, 165hz = 83fps, and so on.

>>102006433
rtss and specialk allow you to inject reflex into games now on nvidia and amd has antilag in the driver.

That's exactly what's going to happen
If you're not looking to start doing it as a business but just as a single guy posting ads on facebook marketplace or whatever, then you're at the mercy of your customers when it comes to reputation.
The best you could probably do is power the PC on and show them it's fully functional before you hand it over to them, and be clear that any warranty claims will have to go through the parts' manufacturer rather than you, because your only responsibility is giving them an assembled and functioning system, and that you don't offer after sales support (unless you want to offer that as an additional fee).

>>
>>102006962
what bout the screen tearing?
>>
>>102007037
there is no tearing because you're within vrr range or if you dont want to use vsync just do -1fps of your monitors hz via rtss or chill.
>>
>>102006980
Hmm.. Okay, thanks anon
>>
>>102007037
If you're using this stuff you probably already have a hrr monitor with free/gsync and configured properly to prevent screen tearing
>>
>>102007057
aren't you supposed to leave the cap out to benefit from the input lag reduction?
>>
>>102007064
see >>102007053
>>
>>102007064
cpu based framelimiters (rtss/chill/reflex) dont have input lag when used properly. the input lag comes when vsync is engaged but you prevent vsync from engaging in the first place by never hitting or exceeding your monitors hz cap.

I've never understood the autism about vsync input lag
High refresh monitors are a relatively new thing in the scope of PC gaming, and virtually every single console before this current generation used v-sync, most of them not even having triple buffering. Nobody had a problem playing older games, many of which require much more precise timing than modern games.
Personally, I can identify changes in frame rate very easily, but I can barely tell the difference in input lag with vsync on/off. I leave my 144hz monitor at 120hz because I frequently record gameplay and having it being a multiple of recording frame rate gives smooth recordings, and I always use vsync.

Reposting the list from last thread as I'm ordering at the end of the day. This is for servers and gaming with NAS so I was trying to get 128 RAM and a fat graphics card in as small a package as possible.

So my questions for this list. I picked a random monitor but am still open to suggestions, I upgrade from the 7600 to 7700 with the extra money, as the higher end motherboards seem too expensive to justify. I want this one to last at least 8-10 years with only a few upgrades before having to start fresh.

The cooler clearance with the RAM is potentially a problem, IDK how to check it but people online were saying you have to move the fan to fit ripjaws in. They were suggesting an AIO cooler, is this difficult to install/worth it? I'm a mechanic so putting shit together is not hard but I've never done this before.

Is there a better motherboard in the same price range that might save me some trouble down the road or is the B550M pretty much good enough?

Thanks for all your help last thread, it's been 12 years since I built a PC and someone did the hard part for me.

Quad rank per channel at 3600c18 seems pretty intense anon
I recommend you look for a board that prioritises 4 dimm configurations (i.e. t-topology) for the best chance at getting quad rank per channel working. I believe most of Asrock's 500 series boards are t topo as are older 400 boards from most vendors
>>
>>102008285

Yeah QVM says it only supports 3200, but I heard some boards can push it to 3600. I'll take a look for something in the same price range but frankly I know nothing about motherboards.

Google says the B550M Elite (one in the build) has daisy chain topology though which, I can only guess at what that really means but it seems to be t-topology?

A used 6800 XT or RTX 3080 10GB is going to be a respectable bit faster than the 7700 XT and are going for $350-360 shipped on Ebay (so $40-50 less):
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=6800+xt&_sacat=0&_sop=15&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=3080+10gb&_sacat=0&rt=nc&_odkw=6800+xt&_osacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/xfx-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-magnetic-air/31.html

If you really want to spend around $400 on the GPU, I'd pickup a used 6900 XT instead which trades blows with the 7800 XT.

The RMe-series from Corsair only comes with a 7-year warranty (the RMi and RMx lines have a 10-year one), while the same spec PSU from Thermaltake has a 10-YR Warranty:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/x4hv6h/thermaltake-toughpower-gf1-2024-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0750fnfagu-p
^It's also $15 cheaper to boot.

>I picked a random monitor but am still open to suggestions
Going to level with you, that $80 27" 1080p 60Hz monitor you picked is going to look hideous in person. At 27" you want at least a resolution of 2560x1440 or higher so that the pixel density is adequate for sharpness/clarity. 1080p is only really acceptable for a 24" panel. Also 60Hz is bad for gaming because it inhibits pixel response times (leading to higher motion blur) and also high input latency. You want something at 120Hz refresh rate or more, the difference is night and day,

If you can't justify spending much more on your display and don't mind 24" I'd swap that monitor for this one:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sm6NnQ/titan-army-p2510g-245-1920-x-1080-180-hz-monitor-p2510g
If you CAN justify your budget for a nicer display I STRONGLY recommend the Dell G2724D mentioned in the OP as the current price/performance sweetspot models:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vyqrxr/dell-g2724d-270-2560-x-1440-165-hz-monitor-g2724d
You'd have to spend well into the $500 range to get something that looks noticeably nicer.

I've had a corsair PSU in my current computer with no issues whatsoever, so part of me wants to autistically stick to Corsair if only because I know it works.

>Monitor
I have a D2104 right now which is a 1920x1080 24 inch piece of shit so I could justify 100 bucks more if it's that much better, yeah. I was just picking something close to what I had.

>>102008487
Ah I see. Well, the RAM speed is actually not my concern it's the capacity. I run a lot of programs at once that need dedicated RAM but they don't necessarily need to be super fast. They're for running LAN WoW servers, minecraft servers with friends, faster would be better but the speed is going to be less important than internet speed for those applications. Frankly, I only got the 3600 because the 3200 was only 10 bucks cheaper. I know higher mhz means 'faster' but I also know it doesn't mean 'better'. Really, I do not comprehend how it affects performance.

>>102008550

Seems to check out, 6% better by whatever metric, but how? Also buying used is a pretty big risk, how much is a new 6800?

3600 is pretty fast. The problem is that fast and capacity dont go well together. There's a high chance you'll have stability issues (causing corruption & crashes) with any random daisy chain board if you enable the xmp those ram sticks you picked.

My corsair psu since 2013 started giving me surging issues a month ago. I took the opportunity to just tear down the whole build (i5-4670+1060) and only bring the ssds with me to my next one.
>>
>>102008628

If necessary I think I can keep them at 3200, or buy the 3200 ones if the stability is that much of an issue. Unless 400mhz is going to rock my world I see no reason to risk it with overclocking, I am not doing anything major. I'm not making money off botting 30 apex legends accounts or whatever you use 3600 ram for. Is 3600 worth it, or should I just downgrade to 3200c18 and keep that mobo? Or, if you have a motherboard suggestion link I'm open to spending a few bucks, but I can't justify something like 500 dollars for the 650.

>>102008639

>Retard question but, isn't higher number newer/better?
The first number in the model name indicates the generation and the second indicates the placement within that generation. What happens is that a given tier of the latest generation card matches the performance of the previous generation's next-lowest tier card but because they've been on the market for longer means they get discounted.

>By trades blows do you just mean they're about the same but saves some money?
Yes.

>I've had a corsair PSU in my current computer with no issues whatsoever, so part of me wants to autistically stick to Corsair if only because I know it works.
That's okay, but just know that Corsair not Thermaltake actually make the PSUs they sell. Only like 3-4 OEMs with factories in Asia actually produce the world's supplies of PC PSUs and all the brands you buy from just slap a sticker on them and call it a day. That's why though Corsair is a fine by itself if another known brand has a same-spec unit with a longer warranty for less money there isn't much reason to paying for more and less.

>I have a D2104 right now which is a 1920x1080 24 inch piece of shit so I could justify 100 bucks more if it's that much better, yeah. I was just picking something close to what I had.
It is 10,000% worth the splurge. Your monitor is what you are literally staring at 100% of the time you are using your PC. Like I said you are used to 1080p on 24" which look okay but spread across a 27" panel would actually make you think you downgraded.

>Seems to check out, 6% better by whatever metric, but how?
The chart was simply taking benchmarked numbers and normalizing them. Here's the same data represented in 1% Low FPS numbers

> Also buying used is a pretty big risk, how much is a new 6800?
Realistically as long as you keep it dusted, should be fine. I'm still posting this from a GTX 980 I bought used (10 years old this September). But I can understand wanting a new card for warranty.

*Forgot to add, unless you play a lot of AAA titles and/or game at 1440p then I'd recommend the 6700 XT as 8GB VRAM might be insufficient in those cases.

>>102008738
>why do you think 64GB in 2*32 isn't enough for you ?

The sheer amount of servers I run at once. I will likely not max out 128, but I will definitely run over 64. 32 was already too little and I figure a few years in the future, running a war within server, wotlk, classic, and a minecraft server- also my background bullshit/factorio that I do on the side, it's going to chew through it and I want to be prepared.

My computer is a glorious communist machine that serves the people, and though those people may be few, they each expect a chunk of that pie. I could start with 64 and RAM might get more efficient in the future but I want a motherboard with a long upgrade path. I figured if I'm gonna get 128 eventually I might as well start with a full kit.

>>102008762
I swapped to this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WrNypg/seasonic-focus-plus-gold-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-650fx it's around 100 watts bigger than my projected draw, but I'm open to a 750w if future upgrades would be likely to cut into that power draw.

>>102008817
As for the card, I'm still a bit lost. The 6800 XT vs non XT? What's the difference? I was hoping to go with XFX, I heard good things about them. I went EVGA once cause they were cheap and the card was an absolute piece of shit, was a 980 and would constantly fail, had to downclock it, so I'm careful about just picking whatever when it comes to graphics cards. Is ASrock good? I can spend a little more money on a higher end graphics card, not the 900 the 7900 is asking for but ~500 bucks esp if I drop the ram kits and pay for them later.


>>102008823
>if your CPU's memory controller is weak

Frankly I can afford more than 1500 bucks but, since you have to start over in 8-10 years anyway due to the speed of technological innovation, 'top tier' machines aren't really worth it. I fully expect to chunk whatever I'm building 10 years down the line so I focus on making it last that long and not worrying about it.

$1500 is low budget if we are talking whole PC with monitor.
But even if you buy high end it won't last you that much longer because you will get used to better experience so you will want to keep it that way.
End result is upgrade in 4-5 years in both cases if not sooner.

Only other question I have is on the NAS stuff, I have 4 8tb wd golds that I'm moving to a NAS, but worst case scenario this mobo has 6 SATA and I can use my old case with 6 drive bays, but google is recommending the DS423 from synology as a 4 bay diskless system.

I'm probably going to hold off until panther lake, specifically A-P, but it's certainly shaping up nicely. removal of hyper threading, and retarded power levels while still keeping performance parity with the previous gen is very good news for this new architecture. Also the new Pcore<->Ecore logic is much simpler and should (lol) eliminate the cuck cores cucking your game's performance problem

I know there's more to it than this alongside the $300 MSRP of the card alone, but apparently the PS5 has like 10 TFLOPs. So, even getting an RTX 4060 with 15 TFLOPs will give you MUCH better performance? Supposedly PS5 Pro will have like 17 TFLOPs.

Easily. With technology these days, even a $1,000 will last you more than you'd need.
I'd avoid a $2,500 budget. Either $2,000 or jump to $3,000 because that's insignificant when you're already spending that much.
A $2,500 budget makes no sense and there's nothing in that range anyway.

I have a unique situation when it comes to a cpu cooler

I use the top of my GPU to heat up medication. Yes I am serious.

I have some kind of 90 mm Cooler Master in my current computer because it was the only one I could get in my area that fit in the height limit of my case. It was only months off the building it that I discovered that was a perfect way to heat up medication.

Now I am building a new system, it's been 4 years. And I need to make sure I still have room to heat my medication in this manner.

I'm going to use a 7700 and 3080ti in an m-atx case. So.moving the GPU down isn't an option.

I was looking at something like the be quiet pure rock. It's 121mm wide compared to the 90mm cooler master I have.

Be quiet also has a 97mm cooler that has been very well reviewed. Noctua has a wide 125mm sized range, but that is getting a bit tight. And they have some 95mm wide cpu coolers

Or should I get a low profile cooler to completely sidestep the issue? I don't intend to do any overclocking and am only concerned with the cpu being quiet

I think that many of you have the wrong idea when you choose your CPU Cooler.

Almost all of you recommend enormous double Tower coolers for even 7600 cpus. The number of 3600 CPUs I've seen that have Noctuas the cost more than the CPU is absurd.

Right now A lot of people are getting AMD 7600 that have a TDP of 65. Basically any modern cooler will be able to handle that even at maximum load. The 7700 doesn't even get thermal throttled when using the beefy stock AMD cooler it comes with, although the wraith stealh is insufficient for the 7600.

Unless you actually intending to do some overclocking, which 90% of you are not going to do, coolers are usually an aesthetic choice.

But everyone keep recommending the same couple of coolers that are big and ugly. Giant Noctuas, the thermalrite monsters etc. As if they're going to get some more performance.

And you get very aggressive here, and I've looked through Peddit, and people there are ridiculously aggressive to the point where if a cooler gets one point lower than the meme cooler on a test they recommend everyone never buy from that brand again.

They freak out if a GPU goes over 75, and act like that CPU will die if it goes to 80°. When 95% of them have the base level AMD anyway

>>102014500
Mostly correct. The 65w Ryzens don't need a massive cooler. I used to run an OC'd 1700x (95w). When I built it, I used the OG Coolermaster 212 (v.1) that I spent about an hour lapping on my kitchen table. Also had 2 Noctua 120mm fans on it in push-pull. It ran 4.2ghz all core and hit 92° under stressing. I had tried higher OCs and it was stable, but anything over 4.2g sent the temps to over that, which I was was not comfortable with. I ended up getting a NH-U14s. I was able to take my 1700x to 4.4ghz all core stable and about 87° under stressing.
Replaced the 1700x with a 3800x (105w) Haven't even started OC'ing it yet and it will do 4.1ghz all core and 4.475 single core. Picrel. Love me some Noctua (and Delta).
