Realistically, could I assemble a PC in one (1) hour if I haven't done it in 10 years? I recently got a build I saw here:
>https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/GfVWxH
Everything has arrived as of yesterday, I read all the manuals, prepared all the usb drives, got all the drivers, read all the guides and videos, and have already cleaned and set the space, put down the mats and tools, and separated the PSU cables I will need.

But, I only have ~70 minutes to get it done today, because I have to leave later, but then I won't have time until Sunday. Doable or do I wait?

>>102336704
It's doable if you don't bother with cable management

Well, I everything is laid down already, so I didn't want to pick it all up if it wasn't really necessary, but I guess an hour is not enough to get everything done right. I'll wait until the weekend, thanks.

I'm in the same boat, I think I'll pull the trigger this month but for me it's a huge upgrade (currently on a 1080Ti).
Used cards are almost always worth it if you get to inspect and test them properly, but don't expect huge savings if you're after the top GPUs.

When 5090, I want to play 4k

>>102336825
>for me it's a huge upgrade (currently on a 1080Ti).
I'm on a 1070, but it's been almost enough for me. I'm starting to struggle on a few games, especially since upgrading to 1440p, and the vram is limiting me...

I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger too in large part because AMD won't have a flagship this upcoming gen, but I'm still plagued by doubts: what if their new "midrange" is enough of a performance boost to compete with the XTX, just more efficient and cheaper? Or if the new nvidia cards are just massively better and actually come with VRAM, making the XTX obsolete? Or even if they still come with only 16GB, but the performance is good enough that the XTX prices drop? Argh.

>>102336904

Yeah I guess that justifies the jump right now. Personally I'm sticking with 1080p forever (my eyesight is shit so there's no benefit in going further).

>Yeah I guess that justifies the jump right now
Honestly, barely, I've been doing this for like a year and a half by now - I've just finally gotten the itch to get something better.
Which is also contributing to making me feel stupid, because if I haven't upgraded by now, I should just wait a big longer, right

>>102336950
Elaborate - I've not seen any reviews where people say their cards are "broken". What's the practical impact?

>>102336962
people report driver timeouts in certain scenarios. idk maybe they use degraded intel cpus

>>102336976
>>102336950
its not "broken on a hardware level".
some games just dont like chiplet gpus at all because they are expecting monolith gpu.

I used to think the same, until recently when picking parts for a new build I read that even for people who spend all their money in preserving things that were on CDs (specifically games), an external reader is technically better because the vibrations of the rest of the computer could technically affect the imaging process... however tiny the chance might be.

Sounds like a driver issue, not a game issue

>>102337086
TDR is set by Windows not the driver.
By default it timeouts if no calls are done in 5s.
But the game could take 10s to do the call and be fine.

>>102337025

>>102337098

>>102337098
5s for a GPU call seems insane, not just a chiplet problem but something going really wrong.

>>102337121
If you were paying attention, it's the games fault. It's making an invalid call.

>>102337128
Okay, fair, but then in THAT case how is it the AMD GPU's problem that games make invalid calls
Unless you're saying that it's a proprietary nvidia-only call, in which case it's still the game's problem but I can kind of understand why it would be an issue (also aren't GPU backends supposed to be unified these days? it's only compute/CUDA that's still proprietary)

But in neither case is the chiplet architecture the culprit

>>102337143
The code is optimized to make calls specified for Console architecture (RDNA2) or Nvidia architecture which are both monoliths.

That's what I get for being a waitfag....

>>102337682
>best cheapest
Without a doubt a used AM4 kit.

can anyone help me with this ram problem i've got a pair of 16gb corsair 6000mhz ram paired with a asrock b650m-hdv/m.2 motherboard. The issue is that i set the expo settings in the bios however if i restart my computer the ram will reset to stock speed which would be 4800mhz, I know the cmos battery is fine as i got the motherboard this year. Did i just get a crappy motherboard?

He has some sort of blood disease where his body doesn't iron properly. He doesn't have cancer but he has to go to a cancer center in Los Angeles to get massive iron infusions so he doesn't get anemic. Either way he's not going to be slim again.

>>102337721
Either your board or your CPU doesn't play well with that specific memory kit and profile. This is why you don't cheap out on RAM unless the exact model is on your mobo's QVL. You can go beyond stock speeds manually, maybe even match the profile you tried, but it takes some research and up to a hundred restarts.

This cannot be real. Do consoleturds really? In 2024? I thought the 30fps->60fps upgrade had definitively happened in the early 2000s or so. Ever since then, resolutions are getting bumped but 60fps should be the minimum playable framerate. Did consolefags seriously just shrug and go back to making their games unplayable by default?

The PCI ports themselves have a power limit, I think it's 75W or so? Look it up.
I have no idea what the mobo needs extra power for, but it's going to be intended for its own internal components. If your card can't live off of 75W or whatever the port is rated for, the mobo having more power won't help it.

consider someone whose main computing device is a phone (especially iphone, but honestly stock android is much the same), and then they either have a laptop at work that they never use for personal stuff, or often not even that and maybe they have e.g. an ipad for when they need "more" than their phone and so they literally never use an actual computer

now if they had a gaming pc they'd need to interact with the actual OS, install steam, worry about compatibility, figure out how to connect a controller (assume they don't want to just kbm, because many people don't, especially those types), even worse if you wanna figure out how to drive your big screen tv in the living room... (and they don't wanna buy a fuckoff expensive monitor just for their pc, either)
plus you gotta know the components market, because you're responsible for your own performance, you gotta worry about how high you can turn up your settings, etc.
that's not even talking about actually assembling the PC, but this is assuming they might use a prebuilt service for example, all of the above still applies

meanwhile with a console you just buy a black box that you stick on a shelf, plug into your tv, and it lets you play games, that's it
you get exactly the performance that everyone else gets and that the developer expected you to get (even if it's bad, point is you don't have to think about it, cause it's not your responsibility to change it)
nothing can be incompatible
you just buy the "game playing box" and play games with it

pretty old card (vega frontier) which was starting to show its age a bit much for me last time i was gaymin on it (elden ring release)
mostly just been using my macbook in the past year, but want to get to PC gamin again, and experiment a bit with local LLMs
so nothing massively important or urgent. i can do my work on my macbook.

oh, I'm not exactly poor, not rich either. I can afford it. I tend to not upgrade constantly. I guess that's the primary thought process, I'll probably not buy a new one for at least a few years, so value/dollar is nice and a decent baseline of performance is good. i.e. if paying a bit more for much better perf/dollar is what the 5090 is, then i would value that even if the price is higher

if it's just gonna be scalper central again with an even higher MSRP from the gate then idk, getting a 40xx rn sounds good

>>102339071
Ah. So, what is the solution? I don't have the game, just curious.

>>102339377
I think it's likely they'll jack up the price but it's also likely that the 40 series might drop in price. Certainly used cards will probably become more abundant, but maybe new cards will become cheaper too.
As for when, speculated to be some time this autumn. So most likely not more than 2-3 months to wait.

The biggest issue is that since AMD won't be releasing high end cards this generation, it's very likely nvidia will quite simply not put as much effort into the ones it makes, and/or overprice them to shit with no competition. Kinda how allegedly a 4080ti got cancelled because AMD's top flagship could barely compete with the 4080, let alone the 4090.

>>102339470
Value usually tends to kind of drop off for the top of the line cards, and especially the xx90 cards are often priced at fuck-you price points because they know whales will want the "top one" no matter what, and everyone else won't afford it no matter what. Though I've heard that the 4090 is actually fast enough that's it not as horrible as it could be in that regard, but afaik it's still notably worse than a 4080, and there's no reason not to expect the 5090 to be worse again in terms of value.

If I were you, I'd wait for the next gen to drop just to see where things stand, and then take a decision based on that. That might mean picking up a 4090 for cheaper now that the whales who only buy the top have a new top to go for; that might mean buying a cheaper 4080 if prices drop across the board; that might mean picking up a 5080/5090 if by some miracle nvidia actually doesn't scalp the fuck out of them; that might even mean picking up, say, a 5070, if for example hypothetically it performs better than a 4080 while costing less, or something like that.

We don't know for sure yet what will happen, except for two things: there's almost no way the 40 series will get MORE expensive, and we will know for sure in just a couple months or so. So it makes a lot of sense to wait.

Esteemed gentlehumans and others, I am in need of advice. Or confirmation.

Is an RTX4070 a wise choice for a $600 budget? Wall of explanatory text below.

Currently running a vintage HP Z840 (so, PCI GEN 3) with dual
Xeon E5-2697 v4s and 128GB of (slow) 1866 RAM (at least I get quad-channel performance) and a Quadro M4000. The PC was free to me so no complaining about the slower RAM. The fan on the M4000 has been making noise of late and it's a crap card by any modern standards (the PC was used in a test environment 24x7x365 from 2016 to 2023, so I don't question the quality of the PNY OEM fan).

I want to upgrade the M4000 to improve the DX12 rendering speed of Chief Architect and general cat picture viewing use (not a gaymer).

Power is not a problem as I have the 1125 watt PSU and one mechanical hard drive (but 4 NVME and 4 SSD drives), I'm well within spec for the PSU even with all that RAM.

I've had bad experiences with Radeon drivers so Nvidia is my preference.

Advice is appreciated.

Some people just want to sit on the couch and have a system that works all the time. If you're willing to accept the graphic, settings, and mod limitations compared to PC, the current consoles are a fine value for the latest AAA slop especially with how cucked PC part pricing has gotten. PC dominated during the PS4/Xbone generation but consoles have caught up a lot on power/value in the current one.

Besides having to give up on half the ram because 192gb wouldn’t work, everything else went well.
Ryzen 9600x, 96gb of 5600mhz ddr5, 16gb 4070ti super
Using my decade old HX850i, based Corsair

However this aio fucking blows, it’s just a cheap ID cooling one, I’ve used their stuff before and it works fine, it’s quiet, but I’m still hitting 75c under sustained load.
Contact pressure is fine, I know airflow in this chassis is limited with basically no active intakes.
So I wonder how much of that is the cooler itself versus it having some pretty mediocre conditions to work in.

>>102339881
wait a minute, how much % difference is 290 and 310?

>>102339920
I wipe it off and apply mo own to the cpu

>>102339920
I don't know for sure, but I'm fairly certain "adding more" is never the answer. If you don't think their paste is adequate just remove it and use your own, if you trust it then keep it.
Personally I would be inclined to assume that factory-applied paste is probably mediocre ultra-cheap garbage, and if you have a tube of good quality paste on hand I'd use that. But on the other hand, the stock paste will probably at least work (they wouldn't sell effectively a fault cooler out of the box), so if you're lazy or if you don't have your own tube of paste and don't wanna wait to order one, it should be usable.

Paste is also one of those things where there's so much snakeoil, and even the good stuff is pretty cheap, and most of the "bad stuff" is only going to be a few *C worse unless they REALLY fucked up.

Wrong thread, but what's your usecase? Do you want a gaming laptop, or do you only care about CPU? Do you care about performance at all for that matter, or is it just to have a shitposting machine until you get something better?

You can go ask in /tpg/ for more details, but generally a used T480 for <$150 is a pretty decent deal. If you really just want a shitposting machine though, you could scour ebay for the cheapest thing around.

>>102340021

Adding thermal paste is fucking easy, use anything plastic to remove the old one without scratching the metal too much then wipe with alcohol (and something lint-free)
Then put a pea of your own paste and press down, ez pz, watch some youtube videos if you want a better feel for the volume necessary but it doesn't have to be exact

Why not do pull then? Suck in cold air through the radiator.

The VRAM isn't limiting you, you fucking retard. The performance of the GPU's core is limiting you. The 1070 is extremely weak even for 1080p these days, to say nothing of 1440p. The stronger 2060 6 GB became too weak for 1440p (even with DLSS) before its VRAM ever was a problem

Radeon has no high end this generation. I would expect high end RTX 50 to be pretty expensive with """"normal"""" gen over gen improvements (e.g., RTX 5080 = RTX 4090). In the midrange, Nvidia, AMD, and Intel might slug it out but don't count on it. Likely they'll all effectively collude to keep prices high

>>102339920
I always keep it. Because the first run is always a test run.
Build the PC out of the case, install the AIO, stress test for 24 hours. If things look good then disassemble it, install in the case, apply the new paste since I had to wipe down the old paste anyways, stress test again to make sure.

Is there a 4k 27" mini led gaming monitor that isn't shit?

>>102340075
there's no way of knowing yet. AMD apparently isn't even going to try to have a high-end, though. if the 4090-5090 is the same jump as 3090-4090 was, then the 5090 will be an endgame GPU, basically. once you factor in all of the upscaling/framegen tools, there'd be no real reason to upgrade for video games. 4090 is already so close such that it's basically already there if you understand that 1440p>2160p

>>102340251
>The VRAM isn't limiting you, you fucking retard. The performance of the GPU's core is limiting you.
That's great to hear when I see my VRAM filling up and have to take measures to prevent it to avoid huge stutters due to swapping, thanks for letting me know that the actual problem is more compute when that happens
Now I'm not saying I couldn't use more compute (which is why I'm looking at relatively expensive GPUs) but the VRAM is absolutely a problem for me

>the 1070 is extremely weak even for 1080p these days
>these days
Cards don't get weaker over time, the 10 series was excellent on release and is exactly as powerful now as it was back then. It's only a problem if you want to play the very latest AAA slop and want to max out the settings despite the game already having way too many polygons and effects, in which case it's a self-inflicted problem.

>>102340302
>Radeon is garbage, especially at that price point.
>Shit tier RT, shit tier upsampling, shit tier drivers
Fair opinion but I don't play any games that meaningfully benefit from RT, and I don't have any reason to render at anything other than native resolution. With this in mind, what are the issues with AMD?

>>102340366
>if it doesnt, ehh its not throttling so who cares, but id like it to run cooler

i killed it after trying to overclock the GPU too much, getting some kind of display artifacts while playing Company of Heroes, and in a fit of autistic rage, taking the tower outside and stomping on it with the side panel off to destroy the inside. grim. i only had the thing for like 2 years. really stupid.

you're gonna get the biggest gains from RAM overclocking, especially if you aren't maxing out the infinity fabric (1866-1900 FCLK)

2. buy 7500f + B650 + DDR5 for approx 300
I can't get a PCI-e add-in card because it would block my GPU fans as I already have a wifi card in the bottom slot

is this monitor good to go for gaming?

>>102340606

It seems that the KS usually have overheating issues.

i9-15900K or whatever it will be called I think then. This together with the biggest baddest Noctua air cooler. I am a bit tired of the AIO stuff. AIO's make a lot of noise, if you ask me.

>>102340713
don't buy a whole new am4 setup. it's too late for that. go to am5

What is the best case for the lowest noise possible while having good thermals?

>>102340574
That's all about the price difference and your taste, white build is for faggot tho

>>102340771
Thanks anon, I'm thinking of selling my current build to help with the cost too, I think that's reasonable

>>102340761
I think it's the Core Ultra 285 or something silly like that. I like my nhd15, but benchmarks are showing that there are cheaper AIO that perform better. I think when I upgrade this 12700k I will be putting an aio on the cpu. Especially for the price noctua expects for their latest.

Doable, yes, but not enjoyable and prone to making mistakes out of hastiness. Take your time. You will only get to use it on or after sunday anyway. There's no good reason to rush it.

I am quite certain the system will live up to my needs for a very long time (by computer standards). I figure I can get another 4-5 years out of this old workhorse but the video card is annoyingly slow compared to the rest of it.

>>102339883
Thanks. What I get from the video is that PCIE 3 is not going to be the system limitation on any modern card I throw in here, rather I am constrained by the RAM speed and older CPUs. No matter - not a gamer, just some CAD rendering.

I guess I'll check in next year and see how things go. I hope the best value offerings once again end up in the $500-600 range because I don't play enough modern games to justify spending more than that on a gpu.

Running five 4k monitors at 144 hertz with animated backgrounds while rendering 4k images natively in Stable Diffusion and making an automated pipeline to upload these images to all the major art websites, defiling the internet and arts even further.

Check the tab at the bottom of the bracket, sometimes the tab has to be tweaked to fit into the little slot at the bottom of the case.

Honest question: How do they keep winning so hard? How can they apparently provide such great value at such low price points? Are there any strings attached? Are there known cases of them breaking down spontaneously or something. I am highly inclined to use one of their coolers for my next build, but I am still wondering whether it may or may not be too good to be true.

R&D costs a lot and they're probably just copying some noctua design or something, patents expire, et cetera. who knows.

>>102341708
Yes. It was just released and it's the best performing air cooler

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/noctua-nh-d15-g2-cpu-cooler/10.html

the problem is that you're really paying for it. you can get like 95% of the performance for like $35 if you buy the phantom spirit. your call to make.

>>102341697

This makes the most sense in terms of price versus value, but buying a 4090 now would be stupid.

>>102341740

official response Noctua: The chromax version of the d15 g2 is currently scheduled for Q1/Q2 2025. The reason why it is coming later than the regular version is that we need new injection moulding toolings for the black version, and we have to make sure that mass production is running stable before we can initiate the manufacturing and validation process for further toolings.

>>102341740
>phantom spirit
is this the new peerless assassin?
or a different product line?

>>102341762
well the top of the line is the phantom spirit EVO. there's a peerless assassin, then the phantom spirit, and then the phantom spirit EVO, from worst to best.

If you have a card to use in the meantime then I'd say use what you've got, but if you need a card now, then I'd get anything between an RTX 3060 to RTX 4070 super. You can also sell the card when you don't need it anymore and then buy a more powerful card later.
