correct, but you could likely put it into number 4 (check if your soundbar can go into a usb2 port), and save a usb 3.2 port

I literally was about to post something similar.

I bought a Torrent because of some perceived problem that I had bad airflow and wouldn't miss my 5.25

Regret it basically every day I'm absolutely maxed out on drive bays and don't have a 5.25 anymore. The 1% of the time I need a CD DVD drive I get pissed off because using USB adaptations of things that used to just be native just makes me irrationally angry.

I came from I believe an R5 or R6 and before that an R2 XL. I might get an R7 XL for my next case because this USB donglegate is horseshit and I never need to move my PC so I don't give a fuck if it's gigantic. If I do, I have a gear grip to turn it into a 80lb messenger bag. I'll grow a back. The airflow on the torrent doesn't actually matter, I don't and never have seriously practically overclocked and I have no interest in doing so. I will simply buy a better CPU if I feel it is lacking which I literally never have. I'm completely content with my 1800X. All I get from the extra airflow is more cat hair stuck to the front vent.

The torrent is a fine case but it's just not for me. Too many compromises in ways I do care about, to make way for things I don't care about.

tldr got minimalism/downsizing memed and hate it.

>>102246572
Doesnt a 2070S perform like a 1080Ti, a card that in 2017 was considered 4k60+? If you play old stuff mainly you could simply jump to a $200-250 1440p144 monitor without even upgrading your gpu

Can you ask about desk recommendations in this thread? Desk is kind of a part of the whole "system".

I cannot get my 12700k to have consistent temps with an nhd15. I've resat the cooler thrice now. Everytime I reseat it, temps show massive improvement. 22c or 25c at idle and light browsing. Now a few weeks later we're at 35c while doing the same thing. It doesn't really matter as it never goes over 70 while gaymin, but it's bothering me. I'm not seeing others have this issue. It's 23c ambient, on w10 iot ltsc. Any thoughts?

I've thought about taking the AIOpill, but my case wouldn't really allow for it so that would require a new case(this is fine, I hate this torrent compact).

>>102246655
1080Ti wasn't a 4K card even for it's time. 2070S is even worse with 8gb of VRAM. If 4K is the goal even for older games, what is your definition of "old games" like 2015 games? Maybe with high settings.

What? I doubt there's even a single review from when it launched saying it's bad at 4k.

>Is there a good reason to upgrade any of it if I just play old shitter games and occasionally some AAA?
well, presumably your old games do fine now, but AAAs don't. whether that warrants any expenditure is up to you.

>Do 1440p shills have merit enough to upgrade both gpu + monitor?
absolutely.
if anything, you should consider leapfrogging straight to 4k, assuming ofc you don't mind paying more for the monitor and the gpu. or accepting fewer fps.

>>102246989
You're clueless
Also the point is that the reviews from back then have 4k benchmarks, and none will write off the resolution as unsuitable for the card

>>102247132
I though about jumping to high refresh rate 4k, but I don't like half assing shit and the only card that seems to be able to run every AAA game consistently on at least 70-80 fps is a 4090.
But considering the power draw, price, and the fact that it can't even run the meme technology that it was advertised to run on 4k is putting me off from it.

I’ve been gaming on a 27” 1440p 165Hz monitor (capped at 144fps) and have never had any issues. However, I recently switched to a 34” 1440p ultrawide and have been experiencing horrible frame times in online games for some reason. 3440x1440 will obviously be a bit more taxing than 2560x1440 but these are rather simple games and my hardware is pretty OK (5800X3D, 4070S). I still maintain a solid 144fps but the frame times are awful creating a lot of lag. What might be causing this? It shouldn’t be hardware related but I’ve been looking around for quite some time and can’t figure out what might be causing it but I guess it has something to do with the transition to UW since that’s when it began.

Any ideas?

>>102247266
I found that PUBG exhibited massively less stuttering when not using the resolution scaling feature to increase internal resolution. Set everything on low and also use a normal 16:9 aspect ratio to see if the frametimes improve

ofc, it'll be hopeless trying to run wukong or whatever the other 2-3 most demanding games ever are called. but normal games, good ones, it'll have no problem with.
also keep in mind that benchmarks typically report fps when rendering natively. if you have an nvidia gpu and aren't running dlss at 1440p and 4k, you're doing it wrong.

The old 12700K is a bit faster than the 7600 in applications and roughly on par with it in gaming for the same cost, but also lets you use cheaper DDR4 RAM which is a big savings when you are buying 64GBs worth of it for video editing.
See benchmarks: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-9-9950x/27.html

The Phantom Spirit is cheaper than the AK620 and will be plenty to cool most chips except i9s or R9 flagships.

The speed differences in NVME drives are not going to benefit you much in the real world even for video editing (at least not if you aren't being paid for it). Certain not enough to spend over 2X the price for the same capacity.

An 8GB card is going to choke in a lot of unoptimzed console port games being released now, so it's not generally recommended. Here a last-gen closesout deal on a 6750XT will give you better than 4060 Ti performance with 12GB of VRAM frame buffer,

PSU is admittedly a little overkill, 750W is plenty but this unit was a good buy for not much more so eh why not?

>My display is 1080p@60hz
>2024
My god please take some of the saving of this build and upgrade your display!
A larger higher resolution display really makes your PC experience so much nicer and the reduction in input lag going up from 60Hz makes everything feel snappier including drag & dropping stuff in the desktop not just playing games.

I see. Upgrading to the 7900 means you'd have to dump your Mobo and RAM, so I'd suggest just grabbing the used 12-core 5900X or a 16-Core 5950X and calling it a day.

>>102247660
>budget
Compared to HEDT I guess

>>102247486
Biggest issue is mobo. Overkill and expensive. Check hardware unboxed videos on b650
Second biggest is 4060, it's just bad at that price. You are already wanting to upgrade and you haven't even bought it. My advice would be check the used market if your plan is to upgrade soon. Shit a 3080 performs almost the same as the 4070 and it's usually like $400 used (idk about the used market in spain though)
Things you could probably save money on are PSU, CPU cooler (both are overkill), getting a plain 7600 (X models sometimes include a free game which can offset the tiny price difference so check that) and cheaper non rgb RAM

>on AMD things just fall apart, with not a single Radeon card reaching 30 FPS at 1080p (!), and you get sub-10 FPS at 4K. It seems nobody tested the game on Radeon with ray tracing, because they would have noticed the white trees that turn to the correct green color once you walk up to them.

You posted RT + Frame Gen on the 4070 Ti as evidence that it can't be recommended for 1440p. The subject is still the same, and it has been determined that no Radeon can be recommended for 1440p based on your own testing standards. Where's Radeon's Frame Gen? And why does Radeon have to pay the excessive native tax in Hogwarts?

It really doesn't. 50W for 8 hours a day is <$100 a year even with Hawaii-tier electricity prices.
To put it another way, you could spend the time you would have spent researching this working at Mcdonalds and just about break even.
If you want to minmax your utilities, a fine thing to do, look for heating and cooling first. Turn your thermostat up/down, do your laundry at 20C, try the eco cycle on your dishwasher, line dry your clothes, etc. Deal with the kW stuff before you worry about the watts.
Anyway, to answer your question, anywhere between about 20 and 80W is normal for x86 desktop systems. It'll depend on your exact components and power config.

Yes, they work just fine

As an added bonus, you can just pop them in instead of having o mess with a PCI bracket.

For around 300-350 which is the Best Video card? Will mainly be used for CAD software and 3D rendering like Lumion. I don't see any convincing Nvidia (NEW) at that price, only 6750XT and 7700XT

Anyone have the Phanteks XT Pro Ultra case?
Is there a way to turn off the RGB?
Considering this case since it already has 3 frontal fans installed but not a fan of RGB.
Some people they there's 2 separate plugs for fan/rgb but then some say they're the same plug.

This looks like one of those GPUs designed for server racks. A single fan won't be able to cool it down. But if you have six 40 or 80mm fans spinning at max RPM then that fan only needs to pull cool air.

How good is the antec atom b550? Seller pivoted from selling a raidmax to a unique super channel to the antec. Seller has good reviews but most of the reviews I see for antec are pajeet reviews (yuck) with some meh opinions from English users but I'm on a budget.

Okay, just need a bit more info:
1. Is this system primarily for gaming?
2. If so, at what resolution?

>I wanted to future-proof so I went with a DDR5 system because of that. Or is the difference between DDR5 and DDR4 not as much?
Don't buy parts on the promise of future proofing. By the time you'd want to upgrade and re-use DDR5 memory, DDR6 will be out. Just get what gives you the best performance for the price now. DDR4 vs. DDR5 on it's own is worth maybe 10-15% uplift but that's mostly using higher-end CPUs that push your total way outside of budget. Again it's basically 2X the cost for the same 2x16GB kit so I don't recommend it at this level.

On the other hand, if you don't mind used and it won't interfere with your tax evasion plans I'd recommend the 16GB 6800 XT for $360:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Radeon-RX-6800-XT-16GB-GDDR6-Graphics-Card-/126659014735
It's $40 (13%) more but absolutely destroys the 12GB 6750 XT (20 to 25% faster).

>If I'm going there anyway what would the best AM4 option be? a Ryzen 7 or a 9 thank you for your help
Rendering loves cores and threads and so the more you can afford to throw at it, the better.
Actually in this case a 13700K + 32GB DDR4 would give you more performance than an AM4 system or a 7700 + DDR5 at almost the same platform cost like so ($424 vs. $410):
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jpvj4M

Also if any of your 3D/Rendering Apps make use of CUDA shader acceleration it might be worth swapping to an Nvidia GPU for that reason alone (you should check this!).

this good?

ok, guys, i need some actual advice

I want my computer to be quiet, but i've struggled tiwh PSUs.

PCpart picker has said i need 524 watts, so i was looking at 750watt units. Oh but i have a 3000 series card, so 850 to be safe. but then i started reading reviews and realized if i just got a big ol fuck off 1000w+ PSU it would always be so underloaded that it would be super quiet.

Is this a good idea? like the NZXT C1000 has zero fan RPM until about 600w

If you don't intend to upgrade for that long, yes. It may even be worth waiting for Black Friday and splurging for the 7800X3D where it will likely be discounted again as it's currently spiked back up to $400 because of how shit Zen 5% was but it traded around $360-375 most of the year (so put a price tracker notification on it) and that might be worth a 50-75$ premium for an extra 2 cores long-term after next-gen consoles release.

If you are JUST gaming, the 5700X3D for $143 on AliExpress would be the better buy:

But as an all-around general usage CPU for both Productivity & Gaming it's great.

>Is this a good idea? like the NZXT C1000 has zero fan RPM until about 600w
Yes that's a classic way to do it. I presume you either run a big air cooler or a giant AIO (280/360mm) with fan curves optimized?

>>102251781
high airflow case with 4 120mm Arctic P12 max intakes, and the same for exausts.

CPU cooler will be Arctic 34 with the fans replaces with P12 maxes. I was going to go with a bequiet! cpu cooler originally. It's only cooling a 7700

with the airflow from the Arctic fans blowing directly into the GPU, it shouldn't need to rev up it's own fans until under significant load

It's all about low fan noise at low load, and overdoing the cooling not for performance, but to prevent anything from having to rev up it's cooling anywhere near max levels

>>102251848
Sounds good.

>>102248545
Okay? Exactly, why is a 7900GRE 1080p then? 4070Super doesn't have the power to use the settings that require over 12GB. If it could push a playable framerate and VRAM was just holding it back you'd have an argument. If using some buggy Ubisoft game that locks away texture settings for some unoptimized texture streaming system is your example that's honestly sad. You having this "12GBbutYouCan'tLoadTextures.png" saved to your computer to totally pwn those 4070Super owners is hilariously degenerate behavior. I own a 4080 I just think it's funny telling people they need a $800 GPU to play games at 1440p because some random shitter game the entire internet laughs at is badly optimized. You people have two examples, Hogwarts and Starwars Outlaws, two terrible games. Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk with PT + FG use over 12 at settings the 4070Super cannot actually use, not because of VRAM, lack of RT cores and raw GPU power. The 4070Super could have 16GB and it would still struggle at these settings.

I would say not at the price it's fallen to.
>The 12600K is falling far behind and has basically nothing to upgrade to that has meaningful uplift
A good B660/B760 board should be able to take up to a 14900K (not that you'd necessarily want to) but the performance ceiling on the upgrade path for LGA1700 far and away exceeds that of AM4.

Hell no. Not when the MSI QD-OLED is still in stock for $950:

>2nd question: looks like it's about 230$ off if I get an open box version of it rated at excellent condition at a best buy near me, anyone happen to know if those are worth getting (as in it won't likely crap out on me)?
So about $1150 for Open-Box? It's probably okay in all likelihood but again makes little sense if there are new 4K OLEDs monitors for less money. Could also have some stuck pixels/vignetting, etc. that you don't know about pre-purchase that isn't worth the gamble for no real savings.

Also the main reason you'd go with the LG model or any other 4K WOLED right now is the 1080p@480Hz mode or you prefer a matte finish because you can't control ambient lighting in your environment with things like shades/curtains over adjacent windows.

Otherwise, the QD-OLED in the MSI model above will look sharper and more rich from the glossy coating, have better colors due to superior gamut and volume saturation, and a more uniform image (less dirty screen effect).

So, after playing Black Myth Wukong, my PC has started crashing all the time, even when I'm not playing the game. Now, when I turned it on, the computer blackscreened. I haven't been getting artifacts, so I don't think it's the GPU, which is a 3060ti. My CPU is a 1500x and an AM3 motherboard. Maybe the CPU just cooked itself? I've had it since 2017 without issues

>>102252243
>>102252226
Well since me being stupid looks like baiting (?) I want to expand on what I'm trying to do. I posted here a few days ago asking for tips because my pc died in a power surge. After assessing the damage the things I managed to salvage were my SSD/HDD, GPU and RAM sticks. Everything else pretty much died, so I'm buying a new setup. elp

Wild. This is getting to the point where a home computer is going to need its own dedicated breaker and outlets.

>>102252278
Could be overheating. Tried dusting out your PC (especially the CPU cooler)? Tried resetting CMOS (either with a dedicated button on your mobo or physically taking the little battery coin out of the board for 30 seconds and putting it back in)? Does your mobo have any integrated graphics you could swap your display connection over to just to rule out the GPU if you still get a blackscreen? Failing that I'd suspect the PSU went belly up as the most likely culprit.

>>102252149

>>102252310
no you retard they said the same fucking thing about 40 series

a 14900k and a 4090 dont even use as much power as a microwave when both are at 100% (never happens in the wild unless you're compiling all cores on the cpu and rendering on the gpu at the same time)

>>102252395
>no you retard they said the same fucking thing about 40 series
I've read a theory about that the pre-launch info Jensen gave AIBs about the 4000 series power requirements wrt the 12VHPWR connector was purposefully higher-end than they were designing for internally so that the board partners would all put out cards with overkill coolers and not cheap out on their cards to make their temps look good on launch day and reduce RMAs over the life cycle of the generation.

>>102252278
Its a radeon thing, upgrade to a 4070 and it'll go away.

>>102252395
>a 14900k and a 4090 dont even use as much power as a microwave

300-400w i9 and 400-600w 4090 depending on power settings. Pretty close if not spot on some microwaves. 1000w is the average microwave, some low end ones draw 600w, some 1200w. To be fair you can undervolt a 4090 a lot and keep most performance but point still stands.

Thank you! By picking the 12700K I might have more leeway to grab better RAM. I'm looking into getting the Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2x32GB), 5200MHz, DDR5. What do you think?

No problem. Keep in mind the issues with Intel currently don't even impact 12th Gen.

Just for the CUDA support (again only if your rendering apps support it), might take a look at used 3070/3080s.

My issue is that if you also run speakers, monitors and any other random crap on the same outlet you run the risk of a breaker trip. At full load you are pushing 8 amps on just the computer alone. Add other random crap onto the circuit and you get a tripped 15 amp breaker. Note that 15 amp breakers are only really supposed to have loads at 12 amps.

you will never see a 4090 draw 600w unless it is overclocked

Hey /g/uys I'm a solo dev doing my own art and rendering my own cutscenes, I've got a decent skeleton of a PC (32GB RAM, AM4 mobo, solid PSU), but I've been turbopoor my whole life and haven't managed to get a real CPU and GPU in this thing since I built it years ago.

Just one SSD is the simplest solution. You can partition it so you have two different drives in your operating system.

If you need a lot of storage, 4 TB 2.5" SSD is about $40 cheaper than a 4TB NVME SSD, so while you save some money it's not a huge difference. Buying a single 4TB NVME SSD is probably your best bet.
