>buying a cuck core CPU
Ishygddt

Brehs, help me with some RAMs
1. 6000 CL30-38-38-76
2. 6000 30-40-40-96
3. 6000 30-36-36

2. is cheaper, what am I losing by not buying 1.? I retarded, not smart enough for RAMs. 3 is the cheapest, no AMD expo and only XMP and its from a website. Between 1 and 2, which one and is 3 so much better and should I get it?

What are the practical differences between a $100 B550 mobo and a $140 B550 mobo (ATX)
Google searching tells me cheaper mobos have older LAN chips, shittier audio cards/chips, worse VRM? But I have no idea what this shit means

VRM is the power delivery to the cpu, it really is only important if you're running a 5950X.
as for the older lan/audio chips etc, its just FOMO.

Is it over?

>>102713229
Why were you waiting this long to buy one anyway? It only made sense to buy these mid-gen refresh cards closer to launch.
Those were restocked plenty of times between Feb and Oct.

>What are the practical differences between a $100 B550 mobo and a $140 B550 mobo (ATX)

given the details you shared, I'd say about $40.
you gonna have to be a lot more specific and maybe list some actual board models.

>>102713268
Can you just recommend me a B550 motherboard under $150

>>102713267
Might as well wait until RTX 5080 launch because it's pretty dumb to buy a 4080 Super at/above MSRP atm.
The only justification you buy it now is you're sure the 5080's price won't justify the added performance.

>>102713229
buy a strix then

>>102713298
I need a new card for monster hunter wilds in February and I cant imagine the 50 series is going be a massive upgrade compared to the 4080 super for the price difference

>>102713278
go to pcpartpicker, select a b550 mobo with price under $150, and pick one that matches your use case (number of required ports, slots, isn't shit like "ports on the back of the board" or 12VO, etc).

Need case/cooler (or general) suggestions. I really like the NZXT H6 Flow and Artic Liquid Freezer III and Lian Li Galahad but it seems like their compatibility is reliant on unpublished motherboard specs. I really like the diffused RGB from the Galahad (pic related).
Price target is $1800ish but I'll spend a bit over $2000 if it's worth it.

the 7900XTX is now $850, so there's no need to buy a 4080 Super.

>>102713675
Buy the case and AIO you want, you don't get to build a PC very often.
You shouldn't have to worry too much about board, AIO, and case compatibility.
The AIO base should be compatible with almost all mid to high-end motherboards.
H6 Flow is a relatively new case, it should account for the more common fan & radiator setups.

>>102713675
If you're building that PC for mostly gaming, the 7900X's gaming performance is barely better than the 7600X's (higher boost clocks).

>>102713675
I generally don't suggest AIOs because they tend to have worse cooling than air coolers at equivalent noise levels on account of the added pump motor on top of the radiator fans unless you dial the fan/pump speed settings back. Also the pump motor can fail, the coolant if they didn't treat it properly at the factory can grow biogunk inside that gums up the cold plate microfins as happened to some Enermax & MSI units not too long ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7uBkjehgQk
Also there's the issue of coolant permeability (evaporating out of the loop very slowly over time).

However, that said if you do want an AIO make sure to get at least a 280/360mm or larger to firmly beat air as well as a case that it'll accommodate it (not a big deal these days fortunately:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDB3ZBHh5Rk

For what model to get according to recent testing and checking prices on PCPP I'd say either the
Thermalright Frozen Prism ARGB ($55) or ID-COOLING FX360 PRO ($60) would be your best bets on a 175W TDP AMD chip:
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/id-cooling-dx-360-max-aio-liquid-cpu-cooler/6.html
https://gamersnexus.net/coolers/thermalright-strikes-again-5690-360mm-liquid-cooler-frozen-prism-review

Cases are subjective and with AIOs the number of included intakes and exhaust isn't AS important but I'd still like to see 2x Intakes + 1x Exhaust for the GPU, Chipset VRM, Memory etc. since they won't get the benefit of extra air circulation from a normal CPU Tower Cooler. Also some kind of USB 3.2 Type-C front panel connectivity (your GB AORUS board picked out has Gen 2x2 speed headers).

>>102713793
Chip development takes a long time, about 4~5 years.
RDNA 2 and 3 were designed before people at AMD were able to realize the impact of hardware-accelerated upscaling and RT to a lesser extent.
They weren't expecting DLSS to improve as well as it had.

It's like Intel's Alder Lake and Raptor Lake processors being designed before Zen 2 CPUs with CCDs released.

>>102713696
It's very tempting but I think I'll make enough use of CUDA, NVENC, and RTX to make it worth buying a 4080S over the 7900XTX.
>>102713746
Gaming is going to be my main use case, but I'm also going to be doing video editing and general CPU intensive stuff. Most of my gaming takes advantage of multithreading so the 7900X seems like the right choice, unless I'm missing something?
>>102713703
The H6 Flow officially supports up to 30mm rads but both the Arctic and Lian Li are larger. I've seen builds with both but some fit and others need to be mounted cockeyed to fit and that doesn't seem very good long term.
>>102713874
I'll take a look at those. I originally switched to AIOs because I like that they have more thermal mass and can be tied to coolant temp to have smooth noise levels instead of jumps. Volume doesn't bother me since I wear headphones all the time. I think I'm just going to pick hardware and find a case that fits it instead of going case first.

>>102713969
Buy one of the Lian Li O11 cases (Vision, Dynamic) or the 216 if you want better compatibility with the Galahad AIO.

If your main case is gaming, and multi-threaded workloads are secondary then wait for Arrow Lake to launch on Oct. 24 for the Ultra 7/9 SKUs and the 9800X3D soon after. The former will be an all-around good chip for both gaming & video editing thanks to Intel's IPC gains in the Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-Cores, while the latter will be the best gaming chip for a few years but still no slouch in occasional editing, see how the 7800X3D does currently.

Hello anons, can you guys tell me what GPUs would fit my needs on this PC, please.

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600
RAM: 32 GB, 6000 MHz, 36 CL (Kingston Fury Beast Expo)
Monitor: 24'' 1080p, 165 Hz (Gigabyte G24F)

Basically, I want to play CS2 with a lot of FPS on performance optimized graphics settings (low resolution, low details etc.), I guess 300 or more would be nice to ensure stability. But I don't care about FPS in other games, as long as I can run it on 60 at high settings I'll be fine. I'm not a big gamer, aside from CS2 most of the other stuff I would play is probably real easy to run like Rain World, Spyro Reignited and such, and I am not following new releases. The only difficult newer game I would be interested in trying out is Cyberpunk. Also, I don't plan on moving up from 1080p.

So, what GPU could I pair with my hardware to be satisfied? I am buying new, not used. Some people said RX 6700 XT would be perfect in the long term, unfortunately I can't get it anywhere, and 6750 XT is still a tad bit too expensive here so I'd rather not go over but under. So I guess the next best thing to it would be good enough? Which one could I get, 6600, 6600 XT, 7600, 7600 XT... ?

Sorry if my question is a bit too long and retarded but I played on shitty laptops for almost a decade and I'm completely out of it all, I can't even eyeball what the performance of modern GPUs is like. Of course I watched some test videos but all these use different hardware, It just makes me more confused and unsure, so I'd rather ask directly like this. Any kind of advice would be great.

A 240/280mm AIO if you can make enough room for one.

I have a lancool 216
I did tests with fans on the bottom and they're fairly negligible, maybe one on the middle is worth using, maybe not
I don't have hard drives so the space at the bottom is empty
I have a shift PSU so the space at the bottom is even emptier. The PSU shroud area is basically a whole space of nothing.
There's this metal cover on the shroud that covers the area where fans would be mounted at the bottom. Should I remove it to have airflow completely unrestricted at the bottom? Does it even matter really? It'd be like removing the PSU shroud basically.

Using the 7800 XT at the 100% Measuring Yard stick @ 438 avg fps (1080p):
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/xfx-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-magnetic-air/11.html
Anything about above a 6700 XT should get you over 300.

https://bestvaluegpu.com/
I'd say a used 6800 XT for $350-360 would be a good deal and give you some GPU horsepower buffer.

Doesn't matter, I wouldn't bother.
Bottom fans are impactful on smaller cases, ITX mostly. Or cases with terrible overall airflow.

PNY is a reliable card manufacturer, they also produce workstation RTX/Quadro cards.
But avoid their Verto MSRP models, their XLR8 card is worth buying though (good cooling & relatively quiet).
Inno3D I don't know well to comment on.

NVIDIA shares reference card designs with their board partners, every GeForce card has to meet this minimum build requirement.

IMO single-gen upgrades are seldom worth it. In this case you're looking at a ~30% increase which is noticeable but shouldn't make the difference between playable and unplayable - turn down some settings and/or up the DLSS. The exception would be if your performance is suffering due to VRAM limitations. If that's true then you could see a lot more than the nominal improvement.

Dedicated miners, sure, but anyone who bought a 3090 in 2020/21 can be assumed to have at least run Nicehash to recoup their costs. Frankly you'd have been a fool not to.

>>102715729
Yeah usually I would wait for the 50 series, but dlss 3.5 and more vram for ray tracing is tempting (especially as the 5070 is rumoured to only have 12gb of vram)

seems to be 450€ with an upward trend where i live. was 380€ at its lowest

i have a bad feeling about how the economys ass will fall out after the election and component prices will skyrocket for years, so maybe i'll just buy a 7800x3d and give/sell it to a friend if i do get a 9800x3d. hopefully won't have to switch motherboards for it

Yeah the 5070 isn't looking great but equally the 4070S is kind of borderline for RT at 1440p - you'll be looking at DLSS balanced on the heavier games. Ofc that might be a tradeoff you're willing to make but that's a subjective judgement so you're answering your own question.

Moved to a new country, don’t have a gaming computer right now. Going to stay here for two years minimum and decided to build a new one vs. getting a gaming laptop, and gonna sell off the parts when I leave. Is a $500 USED RX6600/Ryzen 5 5600 build viable for the next two years and within budget? What would these two parts cost used nowadays on average? Are there any games even worth justifying spending more for a high end computer? I’m not planning to keep this long term as I’m only in the country temporarily (at the moment)

a step up from that pc isn't exactly a "high end computer"
If you're leaving it behind, it's likely not worth trying to build a pc with new parts, however I would try to lowball the seller. If he doesn't take it, he likely either hasn't been trying to sell for that long or he's holding out hope. If he does take the lowball it likely means you'll struggle to sell it back when you're leaving but at least you lose less

I clicked a random button in Windows and it wasn't working, so I restarted. Then windows wouldn't load, telling me "it looks like windows hasn't loaded correctly". Recovery comes up and I can't repair it. My boot drive is still visible and I can even browse all the directory and files (through recovery driver installation tool), so it's not dead.

What the hell happened? It's a WD SN850. I have no experience with SSDs dying. I've ordered a new SSD to get me back up and running, and an enclosure for the failing drive so I can hopefully access my files. Could it just be that windows has corrupted all of a sudden, or is this a sign of a failing SSD?

I'm assuming these are AU/CA prices because otherwise you're getting ripped off by like 50%.

>CPU
It's fine. Will drive a 4060 no problem. Check pricing on the 12600KF - it's worth another $20 or so.
>Card
As others have mentioned, the 4060 is poor value. It's not a bad performer but you're paying for shit you can't (RT) or don't want to (DLSS) use at the target resolution.
>SSD
This model is QLC. Might run in to durability issues when used as an OS drive (or not - depends on your habits/uses).
>RAM
Fine I suppose if the price is right.
>PSU
Is this the Decathlon from like 2006? It was decent back then but I do hope they've updated the design for modern computers.

If it does what you need it to do it'll be fine. Looks expensive but might be par for the course in your region.

First order of business is fucking with the ram. Then checking all psu cables. Then reseating CPU. If none of that helps, mobo might have shorted or scratched a trace with a bad motherboard mounting screw that wasn't where it was supposed in your case to be for your mobo

>>102717662
Looks like you broke something, or something was broken when you bought it, so diagnosis is imperative. No point in upgrading random components when there's a short in there somewhere killing things. You probably don't have spare hardware to test so taking it to a shop is your best bet.

>some opinions on good cases
Watch a recent GN case review and go through the top ~third of the noise normalized thermals chart until you find something a) you like and b) fits your stuff.
My picks are the Lancool 216, 4000D Airflow, and Meshify 2 (with the Air 903 as a good budget option) but there's loads of good cases out there now that manufacturers are prioritizing airflow.

>if there's anything i should upgrade like the PSU or mobo
No, you need to replace the defective component first. One of those two is the most likely culprit but realistically neither needs upgrading - a 1:1 replacement would be fine. Can be the same model or an equivalent.

>>102717688
something something, give us your money pleb.
I hate motherboard vendors.

>>102717688
PCIe5 and DDR5 are more expensive by nature. You need more, and better, metal to get enough signal integrity. There might have been some clever engineering hacks in the early days but PCIe 5 has been around since 2017 so manufacturers will be using them already.
With that said, CAMM2 might actually help on the RAM side. Right now it is being pushed for the high bandwidth potential but that does give you more margin to play with when designing a cheaper board. Of course that potential will take time to trickle down into the low-end market so don't hold your breath.

>>102717837
No your build is very solid and well-rounded. You almost certainly got a defective component (or fucked up the install somehow eg. mobo standoffs).

how does air move in a case with no fans? does hot air find the nearest hole to escape? but then some colder air would still get sucked in because hot air just escaped right? or is it all stagnant and it doesn't escape at all?

>>102719238

I have an old office pc with a gpu I added and no case fans at all, and I vape, but somehow no glycerin residue has gotten into the case over the years, I assume it's because it has no case fans. An older pc I had with a single exhaust fan was collecting glycerin inside, dripped from the cpu cooler and onto the gpu shorting it.

>>102719326
Does it not have reviews? Do they not have a return policy?

Is there anything akin to a budget VR ready PC? Let's take a random game, for example VR chat, what would be the absolute cheapest budget pc one can build to a point where its usable and preferable to have it run through the PC?

>>102719468
I'd ask around in the VR chat general if they have that in /vg/.
From what I've read, NVIDIA cards are better at running VR content.
You'd want the beefiest GPU you can afford.

i really like rgb, but is it possible to have a whole gay pride parade inside my case?

>>102719759
Of course you can, RGB fans, AIO, video card, memory modules (Corsair Dominators) and motherboard just to start with.
They even sell aRGB strips. Don't limit the freak show though, GAYMEN monitors have ARGB as well.
You could probably upgrade to a better CPU/GPU from those added RGB costs, but it's not my pc!

how likely am I to be fucked if I buy a used GPU? these things almost never fail so it can't be that likely, right?

>>102719817
I'd only buy used cards where you have fraud protection (eBay).
Avoid RTX 30 series cards with GDDR6X chips if you can (3070Ti and up), those VRAMs ran pretty hot and many of these cards were Ethereum mining.
3080 12GB and 3090Ti are exceptions because these were released towards the end of the GPU mining craze.

>>102719349
Thanks mate. The Define is a bit expensive and the Pop Air looks OK so I think I might go for that one.

>>102719759
Hardware is easy as there are more choices than ever
The problem is with most RGB software tending to be borderline malware and open source ones being janky and not supporting all available rgbware

Dont forget to install and update your NVME drivers guys

Microsofts nvme driver in Windows 11 is from 2006

If you get crashes or weird performance issues its because of this piece of shit bottlenecking your nvme drive which is likely the system drive.

>>102719936
Are they gonna shrink the 3d vcache from 7nm to 4nm?
I doubt it'd help improve thermal conductivity and clocks though

What are the odds AMD GPUs have a price drop any time soon?
This one https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0BTPK5J68 is suddenly significantly cheaper than before, and cheaper than most other cards, even lower-binned ones. Most of them start at £800 and the third-party OCed ones are often £900 or more, so this looks pretty sweet.

I've been wanting this GPU anyway, just hadn't made up my mind to pull the trigger so far; is this a good price to jump on the opportunity, or should I just hold off? I'd probably be looking at a full system upgrade within a few months anyway. But if, say, the RTX5000 series release is likely to push down AMD prices, I can still wait.

Oh and also, I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with this particular card and OC and it's just amazon pricing being schizo, right? Or is there any reason I should avoid asrock and/or this particular aftermarket one

>>102720074

1) GN deal with many different companies
2) 12vhpwr is (currently) explicitly a gpu connection that was pioneered primarily by nvidia
3) Shitting on anything nvidia does gets loads of clicks
Do you think the world is flat because you can't see over the horizon and as such assume the world just stops? Rhetorical question obviously.

Can be risky buying ram sticks separately like that but you might be aware

>>102720474
GN does good quality and factual reporting I have no reason to believe they are doing this simply for clicks, Nvidia fucked up with the 12pin connector that is clear so stop being a faggot and calling it an AMD sponsored video and take your meds

would I be pushing it by having a 4070ti super and a 5800x3d on a 650w psu, will my balls explode

>>102720511
Do not buy memory sticks separately, buy one pack of 2x 8GB or 2x 16GB. CL40 is pretty bad btw, get CL30 if you can at those speeds.
CPU cooler is way overkill/overpriced relative to the CPU it's cooling.
be Quiet air coolers don't perform well on AMD CPUs because the genius designers didn't supply an offset bracket to optimize CCD cooling.

>>102720567
are you using your balls as your psu, those are some pretty high wattage balls, nice man

>>102720567
gettin pretty close but should be ok

>>102719468
like >>102719519 says the biggest nvidia card you can afford, plus if you go ask >>>/vg/vrg they'll just tell you to get a 3090/4090 for Vrchat because it's a vram hog.

>>102720548
I never knew there were risks, thanks for letting me know.

>>102720569
Someone suggested Thermalright, but I can't find any of those on the local market.

>>102720567
Even assuming it's a quality unit, personally I would get something beefier just for peace of mind. Lack of power can manifest in really weird ways which are hard to figure out

>>102720388
God intended that you hook your high end GPU to 3 PCIE power cables. Remember the Baldurs Gate 3 analogy. 3 can control the brain, 2 causes chaos, 1 destroys the solo

>>102720605
Memory kit manufacturers test XMP/EXPO speed for the packaged set of modules only.
In your list, that means the manufacturers only tested whether each of those sticks can run at 6000MT/s CL40.
They don't guarantee the same stick from a different package will seamlessly work together when you try to toggle XMP/EXPO on.

If you can afford the Dark Rock Pro 5, it's going to cool that CPU just fine, you're just overpaying for the cooling performance.
Scythe Mugen 6 (dual fan) can be an alternative if it's available in your region.

>I'll get a single 16gb stick
Don't run DDR memory on a single stick configuration, you're reducing system performance.
It's either a single set of 2x 8GB or 2x 16GB.
A single set of two identical sticks.

>>102721037
Lower cas matters more on ddr4. Get the cl16.
