i've got 2x16gb g.skill trident z5 neo ddr5-6000 cl30i would like to upgrade to 64gbshould get another 2x16 pair, or get a 2x32 pair?i only ask because i've seen some off hand comments about stability when doing the 2+2x16 thing. is that mostly a meme?

Thank fuck. The TR Silver Soul 135 mobo bracket fits on my MATX board inside the NCase M2 where the PA 120 mini didn't. I suspect, looking the the pics, that the Noctua D12L bracket would also fit too.Some 120mm fans do fit in the top too even with this large board. This shits coming together nicely. Tiny form factor with air cooling and no compromises. I'm still pretty interested to see how the C4-sfx v2 turns out too.
Anyone have the AOC 24G4? It's only $125 at best buy now.
>>102047608i'm seeing conflicting reports because of improvements in bios updates.i think i might just end up buying another 2x16 to start and if isn't stable i'll return.
>>102047416Mostly not a meme, alas. Also, more sticks = more strain on the CPU's RAM controller. So even two of the exact same 2x16 @6000 kits may not run as 4x16 @6000, at least not without some fine-tuning of RAM settings.
>>102047809He will probably have to buy a 4x kit since buying another 2 kits and adding it to his first might not work together too well.

Pretty silly since I do not care about the extra high refresh rate but I do want that new 480hz PG27AQDP just for the new woled subpixel layout since it would finally be a 1440p oled with decent text. Probably should just get one of the 4k versions of the panel especially since the 32GS95UE is cheaper right now but I do not want to give up the performance of 1440p.
>>102049580>>102049553yeah a new(or used) mobo+cpu+ram is needed for it at the very least. given the current used market, you could prob find a used i5 9th or 8th gen + or ryzen 3000+ gen for ~$100 on ebay. imo thats prob a valid path if he's low on cash.
>>102049581Sure, you can always upgrade to another 16gb stick of the same series few months later
>>102049581>Is it fine to build AM5 with one 16Gb RAM stick for now?>Also, is this mobo passable at least?Eh it'll run but it rather defeats the point. In that you won't really be getting the benefits of AM5. If $100 (which would be enough to both get 32GB and a good mobo) is going to break you then you should consider saving more or building AM4/1700.

>>102046807>pic relDoes this mean this new port won't be backwards compatible with power supplies with the current standard?
>>102049702I don't know what to tell you man. Other than "it won't".The problem is that any single upgrade just won't do what it's meant to do. A new card won't let her play modern games because the CPU will hold it back. A new CPU won't do it either because, well, 1050 Ti.
>>102049702>>102049834CPU will bottleneck the new gpu by anywhere from 30-50% imo. It just wont be able to keep up with cpu calls in modern gaming.
>>102047416DIMMs sold as dual kits are only ever rated to hit their advertised speeds when only that kit pair is installed. Even buying two of the same kit is not technically supported by the manufacturer, and is why quad kits with high speeds aren't as common/more expensive. Of course, most people just make two dual kits work because 95% of the time it will just work fine.Hell in my current system I'm mixing 1Rx8 x2 with 2Rx16 x2 for 48GB of DDR4 @ 3200MHz on a board that only "supports" 2933MHz and it's been working fine for years.

Will the single CCD zen5 CPUs (9700x3d or 9800x3d) be 65W, or more or less

>>102050064i thought the 3D cache needed to be volt limited compared to the non-X3D, and that meant the wattage would be lower.Are they just going to go full retard intel style and pump excess voltage into their chips?
>>102048790DIY zen 5 is basically irrelevant. They spit out the 9800x3d and 9950x3d (lmao why the 990x3d exists), retake performance crown and this will all be forgotten. What will happen is OEMS and especially the server big bois will sit up and take notice of power:performance and be all over it.
>>102049660That makes things a lot easier, thanks.>>102049678Is the motherboard a part of the problem or just the single RAM stick?

>>102050761AMD fanboys are pathetic.What does AMD have? Nothing. Their chip design is still inferior to intel. They rely on chinks to manufacture their design and because intel fabs were temporarily behind that was their only advantage for 2-3 years. Intel will have the most advanced fabs in the world in 2025 and also make chips for others which will kill the chinks and as for AMD.... I have very bad news for you but they will have no choice but make their inferior chips at intel before going bankrupt.

>>102051032>>102052003There isn't a huge difference between 5700X and 7800X3D whether in video encoding or gaming. However the 7950X3D can encode twice as a fast as a 5700X, but it's almost $200 more than the 7800X3D. 7900X probably makes most sense price-to-performance in your case and still having a significant improvement in encoding than the 5700X.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d/17.html

>>102052173>1 single stick of ram
>>102052013I work at nintendo>>102051911cause it's 10nm vs 5nm (meaning higher power consumption, smaller transistors switch faster and do that with less voltage and less energy) and without v-cache (more cache means the cpu has to fetch data from RAM less often which costs energy and leads to the cpu waiting for data and doing nothing on that thread in other words more cache makes the cpu faster and more efficient) and it's remarkable that intel despite this beats AMD or is on par.
>>102049125You should be worried about over-tightening, not the cooler being lose. A tight cooler does literally nothing for heat, the goal of a cooling unit is to just attach to a CPU and then not move. Your thermal block isn't a brick, it doesn't need to be viced to the motherboard, that can crack the board.

If monetary consequences of importance you need to think if you should and if can cover the cost in few years without losing money.>Also are higher refresh rates a scam?no, we ideally want 3000hz monitors
>>102052820>where you can actually get those framesyou don't need the frames to take advantage of high refresh being able to refresh fast enough so you don't see any tearing if fps is at even divider
>>102052689Oled became widely available and affordable for TVs in 2017-2018, but for monitors it took until 2023 (no the LG CX/C1 doesnt count)Just buy whatever you want now, or you'll end up like the dudes holding their breath for MicroLED since 2016

>>102052839>been waiting for sed since ~2006
>>102052685>and a small fan is cheaper than a slightly larger heatsinkGiven how cheap heatsinks are, I really think it had to do with aesthetics.MB vendors are deathly afraid of putting actual effective passive heatsinks on much of anything nowadays. Everything is a chunk of aluminum with a few slots cut into it, they'll even put heat pipes for all the little it does. Even gigabyte who does have actual finned heatsinks on some very higher end boards put them way too close together to be effective.Finned heatsinks started to go away on boards when they started to make them look more cohesive and not a mis-mash of different colored parts.

>>102050141Zen 5 tracks its heat more accurately, and the CCD will be directly interfacing with the heatsink instead of how Zen 3 and 4 did it, where the cache was against the heatsink. It's feasible to think they'll at the least try to boost more.

>>102047185the mount that comes with a monitor is always useless for anything other than putting it on the desk as-is. Some of them don't even have tilt adjustment. Get a screen with a VESA mount and a dual-screen stand/monitor arm.
>>102052969Nah, naked copper needs to make a comeback
>>102053010the actual flagship is in the cards, not for RDNA4if I was AMD I would push RDNA5 in the middle of Nvidia generation, sadly 2nm won't be ready in a year. MCM 2, perfection of ray tracing hybrid tech, 3d stacked caches? Who knows.AMD side is fun to look for, nvidia does same thing for a decade now, like Intel. AMD has to push new tech to compete without touching nvidia patents.
>>102053059your pic isn't copper, it's just anodized aluminum. You can anodize aluminum to any of several different colors depending on how you do it, black is most common, but you can do blue, green, or, as shown here, a vaguely light-gold kind of color.
>>102053059that's orange anodized aluminum, you were lied to.
https://youtu.be/yDzVWqncMFAwhens 24h2 coming out next month?wonder if it boosts shitels rust
>>102053059Copper is only viable on extreme cards since its so expensive
>>102053112Copper got a lot more expensive a few years ago.
>>102053112>>102053136yeah its why the copper slugs in stock coolers are actually a copper disk/cap with an interference fit to the aluminum heatsink, the tiny bit of copper costs more than the rest of the aluminum.
Went ahead and put that contact frame on my 12700k, temps are looking MUCH better during cinebench. I was hitting 95 before I put it on, now hitting around 83-85. Very cool
>>102053157That's fine, at least you know what you're getting. The heatsinks that try to hide the base so you can't tell if its copper or not is not okay. Some of them are just copper heatpipes mixed with aluminum, all anodized to be one color so you can't tell. They just say it's a copper plate. This doesn't cool as well as a copper plate interfaced to aluminum.

What am I missing with RAM?All the 6000mhz CL30 ones are "tested speeds", SPDs seem to be 4800mhz 40-40-40-77 (but these numbers are harder to find). Which is 120m operations/secondMy seven year old sticks are SPD 2400mhz 16-16-16-39 (150m operations/second)Does memory interleaving mean the higher speeds are more important than latency, is there some other spec I'm missing, have I found bad examples, or have they been stagnant this last decade (outside of size)?>G.Skill F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5RS>Corsair VENGEANCE RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL30>(current) Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz

>>102053300based goalpost moving dubposter
>>102053301Do you actually think that all RAM operations are completely random? If the CPU needs 2KB of data then the RAM doesn't encounter a latency spike every 64 bits because that's a sequential read.
Agree?
>>102053301Those 6000CL30 kits blow every ddr4 kit out of the water save for specially binned b-die like dual-rank 4400cl17 and 4000cl14DDR5 is way better designed as a single stick is now two 32-bit channels which are easier to saturate than a single 64-bit channel like ddr4, meaning you get closer to the theoretical max perf of what the ram can do. On DDR4, you'd actually need two ranks per channel (2x SR or 1x DR) to get the most out of it because the 64-bit channel is very inefficient and don't gets saturated easier, leading to weird situations like 3200 CL16 dual rank ram outperforming much faster 4000 cl17 ram because the former can be interleaved and have more addressable banks than the latter.

>>102053419We call that a well-priced PC.There is nothing that demands a fast GPU that is worth playing. Cyberskunk and Alan Cuck 2: Electric Boogaloo aren't video games worth playing.

>>102053455in the middle of the range
just because jensen huang is a subhuman nigger doesn't mean $600 is a good price for a "midrange" GPU, btw.$300 is the absolute highest that should be paid for a GPU
>>102053419$600 gets you entry level/low endanything under that is an office machine.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bdjPRK
>>102053471You forgot that this is the NVIDIA shill thread where 3 or 4 chatbots shill and gaslight potential visitors into thinking a 4090 is the minimum requirements for rendering 2 flat triangles
>>102053462Because it was kind of hard too.There was a time where the highest end CPU was $1k and existed at the same time with $650 flagship GPUsIf you min-maxed with a high end GPU and an i5 then you could get a GPU to be 60% of the price of a PC, but it was very easy for the rest of the build to just eclipse a GPU.Even an entry level system with an i3 something like a GTX 550 TI, you paid only $150 for the GPU with $350 going to the rest.
>>102053512There was never a time where the $1000 CPU was good for gaming. If you bought a $1000 Athlon X2 or Pentium D then you'd get WORSE performance than just buying a good single core CPU. Games take years to catch up to CPUs.The only time CPUs legitimately cost the majority of a gaming PC was in the days of software rendering. Once the Geforce 3 and then Radeon 9000 series came out, you legitimately spent $250 on a gaming GPU back when a self-assembled PC altogether would cost you just $750.

do you think future oleds will have more preventative measures for burn in, or do I go with an picrel (27GS95QE) as soon as prices drop.All I care about is a high refresh rate 1440p w-oled panel with good color accuracy and quality, preferably cheap.
>>102053672I am upset, now I am aware.
>>102052915>Zen 6 and Rubin/RDNA 5But we know nothing about those. Hell, we don't even know much about the upcoming RDNA 4 so how can anyone confidently say the generation after that will be worth the wait? I think RDNA 4 is the limit I'm willing to waitfag.

>>102053780>4K 240 Hz OLED is the way to goI don't really need 4k mate, given that the only card that can run high fidelity games without compromises on it is a 4090.

>>102053815>high fidelity games without compromises on it is a 4090.nah, I'm going 4k even with 7900XT. Movies going to look way better on 32" 4k.
>>102053811>PG32UCDP or LG 32GS95UEthey use the same panel though, right?>you can inject ICC profile directly into monitorhow? I've seen most people complain about how lackluster the color correction settings are on LG oleds, and how you can only pick between "Gamer 1" and "Gamer 2" presets. That'd be a huge selling point if I can adjust it myself.

>>102053837>66% upscalingI'm assuming that's without RT? If that game even supports it.Idk man, ~50fps on a 240hz panel doesn't sit right with me, not even considering future titles which I don't think will be any more optimized than the current ones. Movies do look better though.
>>102053878>~50fps on a 240hz panel doesn't sit right with meThe monitor is one of the longest lasting parts of your system. It's ok to have a little room to grow into it, especially since you can lean heavily on DLSS
Are mobile 13th gen affected by shittyness like the desktop ones, like say the i5 1340P or the i7 1360P?
>>102053876>Wukong's performance will be typical of UE5 gamesnah, consoles aren't getting a new gen for anothr 5-6 years, it's going to be fine, cinematic settings are retarded high looks exactly the same, chinaman simple cranked internal resolutions for effects to 16k I bet>>102053878see >>102052934VRR is a scam, high refresh has it's benefits for low fpsthat game has PT which looks meh to me
>>102053876>4K DLSS Quality looks better than 1440p DLAAI don't doubt it, but again, it'd be a moot point because of the huge headroom in refresh rate.
>>102053850please understand, Nvidia didn't expect to hit 4k 150fps with RT enabled so quickly so now they need to push developers to adopt path tracing to sell new gpus.
>>102053899yes
>>102053908the last thing they want is their gpus to hit 200hz+ at modern resolutions and being cpu bottlenecked 100% of the time making their higher tiers pointless to buy
>>102053924at least they've got 8K to fall back on in a few years.
>>102053905>huge headroom in refresh rateWith frame gen, you're often doubling your FPS. Easy to hit 100+ FPS in the most demanding games, even at 4K>>102053924Frame Gen not only allows doubling of the your base FPS, but also it ignores CPU bottlenecks
>>102053898I guess, but the maybe 2 or so years I'd be spending waiting for a return on my investment, I could just buy a lower resolution panel that fits my needs perfectly and look at 4k monitors when they've had more room to breathe in the market.
>>102053951frame gen is a way to scam poorfags into buying lower tier cards
>>102053955To me, the only reason to punt with a cheaper monitor is that you want some feature that's not out yet. For example, Nvidia Pulsar is only available on LCDs for now, but at some point in the future I can't imagine that it won't be available with OLED
>>102053968well, you want 60 real fps for responsiveness, doubling with framegen just makes picture smoother-ishframegenning under 50fps gives zero benefit because game feels bad to play
>>102053951Frame gen always feels off to me. Maybe it's placebo, but it makes the image look "fake" especially during motion, not to mention the input lag. At least DLSS blurs the line between AI and regular rendering pretty well, but with FG I always notice it, no matter what.
>>102054008yea, soap opera effect? not quite that maybe, but you can tell, game start to feel like you are watching youtube video of it, it's weird
>>102053924>>102053908why is Nvidia trying it's hardest to prevent another 1080ti tier card to emerge? It feels incredibly forced at this point, do they just genuinely hate consoomers?
>>102054032why do you think their GPU margins are around 80%?
it is insulting to force me to install armory crate and run the service on startup to turn the rgb off on my gpui should be able to save it to the firmware once or have the bios control it ffs
>>102054021pretty much. It's way too smooth. In a way that feels fake when you compare it to "real" high fps experiences.
>>102054032they love consoomers but they love money more
>>102054008>not to mention the input lagGenerally, there's not much additional latency. It's just that latency doesn't improve to match the perceived framerate. But keep in mind that without Reflex, a lot of games have way more input lag than with Frame Gen. Reflex is always implemented with Frame Gen

This is driving me crazy, I really need to make a decision and just actually decide on a monitor. Just keep running myself in circles about which one to get and settle on one only to change my mind later. Main two are currently going between wait for PG27AQDP, get a 32GS95UE even though my graphics card can probably not handle it well also could just get the much cheaper 27GS95QE.

>>102046807Man, I need new glasses. I thought that pic was some weird new modular server concept
>>102054604acer is fairly new to making gpus, i think they started like 2 or 3 yrs ago? and they have few models available.
>>102046807>1080p: RTX 3060 12 GBwhy wouldn't i go for a 40 series card? whats so good about the 3060?
>>102054604I think most people just go sapphire/powercolor or whatever is cheapest
>>102054647heres minemiss gpufuus
>>102054671just go for what is cheap because your obviously poor
>>102054647Sometimes I like to plug in my gtx480 in the winter and turn off the heat for old times sake
>>102054671Vram is king for AIIf you're not using AI, you're cutting off functional use case of building a PC. Ofcourse the other use of PC building is gaming but even that will make use of AI
>>102054606For me its the difference of keeping my current pc on top of a box next to my desk vs being able to fit it on my desk amongst other of my work/station materials.
>>102051970NTA but can you redpill me on cheap and good Aliexpress RAM? DDR4, DDR5 or both. And what's up with the chink mobo brands? Do I actually buy them or go for the usual ones like ASUS and MSI?
>>102054604Just check out sapphire's nitro or powercolor's red devil and then question why you need anything else
>>102054604>acerWalmart brand
>>102054693>>102054647lamo even
>>102054940why would i buy a Asuka 4090, my Radeon 6970 HD will last until>the Rei 5090 comes out
is there a noticeable noise/cooling benefit to deshrouding a dual fan gpu and putting two slim 90mm noctua fans on the heatsink compared to the stock fans?
>deshrouding>noctuanot even gonna quote
>>102049422she looks like she needs something more than a laptop. I wouldnt mind giving it to her
>>102054940>worst girlYeah makes sense it would be nvidia
>>102053010RDNA 5 will be reintroducing a much more refined chiplet arch without (hopefully) all the buggyness that's plagued RDNA 3 and they've had a long time and plenty of developments on the fab side to get everything figured out, should feature a high end that outperforms a 5090>>102053706RDNA 4 will be announced very soon and top N48 is targeting 4080 performance below $600 to seal off midrange for at least a few months, top end RDNA 5 is pushing for at least 2x that performance by reintroducing chiplet arch with a very advanced node
>>102055194while this is very cool... the 5090 will be a year old when the rdna 5 comes out> what if AMD thought to be better than Nvida... BEFORE they released their cards
>>102055215What's the point nobody buys them anyway
>>102055105Kek
>>102055215>the 5090 will be a year oldThat doesn't matter unless nvidia wants to go full retard and introduce a generation every year
is getting a 4k monitor worth it? is playing a game at 1080p or 1440p on one going to look like ass? not sure how that works
>>102055377no even a high end gpu 79xtx 4090 will struggle with that with rt/vr and or whatever bs
>>102055105>no girl on AMD cardsyeah, makes sense that AMD would cater to hoeless nerds.
>>102055377Yes.
>>102055377>1080pwill look fine because 4k is easily divisible by that resolution>1440pwill look kinda assJust buy 1440p and avoid the headaches.

>>102055465you can delete this now
>>102055465Holy where can I buy this

>>102047185get a lenovo g24-20 24" and a North Bayou H80 monitor arm and be done with it.
>>1020474162x32.You're likely to run into issues trying 4 sticks of DDR5 at that speed.You can also run into issues like I had on my old PC where I bought a 2nd set of identical sticks, except they weren't actually identical, G.Skill had swapped the actual memory chips they were using and it made it completely impossible to run together.
Is there any such thing as a wifi webcam that is powered by a regular power point (or a USB-C wall charger)?
>>102055733ewaste smartphone
>>102046807Realistically how many fans does a PC need to function right? I work at a thrift store and collect piecesI have a deep cool wave v2 case which looks very bare bones. Doesn't even come with fans (pic related). It does have a 120mm slot in the front bottom and a 120mm slot in the rear.The PSU is mounted at the top too. I do have access to fans. From brands such bit Fenix and a bunch of fans from that NZXT brand (raided a messed up case)Are those enough for the following build?i5 4590 (stock cooler)Asus GTX 970
>>1020558312 intake 1 exhaust
>>102055831depends what it doesan htpc can be entirely passively cooled and have no problems
My 7800xt amd card is sometimes crashing, idk if it's hardware or software, it just freezes, amd adrenaline crashes and reboots, also resets any tuning settingsIs my card just bad or is this some software bullshit or what's going on. Does anyone else experience this?I recently upgraded psu aswell for atx3.0 ready one. 850w happened before this aswell, it died and I replaced it but it seems to still happen
>>102055985Try limiting the max clock speed it can go above in adrenaline.
>>102055985download the latest drivers and DDU, turn off the internet, use DDU to wipe all drivers, install the latest drivers, turn on the internet.
>>102056032>>102056032>>102056032
>>102055831Those specs you probably only need one in the rear exhausting (plus whatever fans are on the CPU cooler) but it would be better with a 2nd in the front intaking. If you can figure out what types you have, the fastest RPM capable PWM fan should go in the front and control it through bios. 800 to 1200 RPM below 40c, then ramp it up until it's at max speed above 80c.
>>102055974I guess it's going to be used for games and browsing. Im not sure if I'm going to keep it as a shared open area PC or give it to my 8 year old nephew
>>102056040Lol it looks like it doesn't even have 2 fan spaces in the front. Just the one on the front bottom. I also just noticed that the rear fan is a lot smaller. Not sure if I even have a fan for it. It does have a door panel fannslot but I'm not quite sure if it would fit once the GPU is installed.
>>102056078specs say it's a 90mm fan, however it has a 2nd set of holes so it probably fits an 80mm fan as well.>door panel fannslotUnless you're using a giant CPU cooler it should fit just fine.Silverstone and arctic make slim 120mm fans so one of those might be an idea if you want to spend cash on it and a normal fan won't fit.
>>102053016>>102052721yah bro that shit is so fucking oxidized. ive seen a lot of corrosion in my time and i can tell that is definitely rust by looking at the pixels. and the problem is removing that patina will actually lower its value.
>>102052969if it aint white it aint right
What CPU should I get for best performance at 50 watts?
>>102055985Your tuning is unstable then, bump up the voltage. Benchmark stability =/ in game stability.
>>102056066as long as you keep the paste fresh and keep the dust at bay all you need is an exhaust
>7600X>7700XT 12GB>2x16GB Is this a 1440p build or a 1080p one?
>>102056332Probably an undervolted 7800x3d.
