I'd consider the Freezer 36, likely gonna save you a pretty penny & while it's not top tier, it should do fine for a 7600x.

HYPER 212 is also an option but honestly it's kind of overpriced nowadays because it got so popular.

Ram you are just getting FUCKED on, sadly.
I'd get this, you're kinda fucked on the CAS Latency but it's not the end of the world. Check if you can't get it from somewhere else

If it's a new build, I'd suggest going 7xxx series, not because of an increase in performance but because it'll make upgrading in the future WAY cheaper. In like 3-4 gens you just buy a new cpu, slot it in & you'll be good to go.
SN850X is more than what most people need. You can opt for cheaper or bigger.

With shipping to serbia it seems to be 125€? So 14.6k dinar, 10€ or 1.4k din more than the ram I linked.

By the way, unless they're basically the same price, consider stepping down to a 7600 like this one
https://www.itsvet.com/graficka_karta_gigabyte_radeon_rx_7600_gaming_oc_8g_gv-r76gaming_oc-8gd-pdaa1-25.i?id=6335
The main (only?) difference between 7600 & 7600XT is added VRAM and the card isn't powerful enough for that VRAM to matter much, it mainly plays a role when you're using high resolutions or RT but in both cases the GPU will struggle regardless.

oh shit you guys get customs on shit coming from europe? Rip then. Though maybe the customs fee is already included, since the shipping costs are 23€ which seems abnormally high. Then again, cheaper ram is the same shipping fee so I don't think it is included.

Sounds like normal range. Mostly a function of your fan curve - if you want lower operating temps, for whatever reason, turn the fans up.
Basically the thing to understand about AMD boost behaviour is that it'll clock as high as possible given the thermal/power/current headroom. You can tweak all of those variables up or down to get the CPU to behave exactly as you want.

What is your ambient temp? Use HWinfo instead of that app btw.
If you feel the cooler's underperforming, check the mounting pressure of the tower heatsink.
You needed to apply an even amount of torque on both mounting screws alternating between every 1~2 rotations.

The build on the whole looks fine. Maybe room for a little optimization but you're close.

>I suppose [the U12S] wouldn't be enough anymore?
It'll absolutely be enough. The 7600/X is extremely efficient. Go find that receipt and claim your AM5 mount.

>I preferably need at least 3+ SATA and a bunch of USB ports.
It'd be a lot cheaper to buy a LiveMixer and a HBA. Or really any B650 and some expansion cards for your desired IO.

>another simple looking case for <100€?
Try these:
H5 Flow - super minimalist aesthetic
Pop Air - 5.25" bay, option for windowless
4000D Airflow - proper dust filter

good SSD, but overkill for most people, if you don't know you need it, don't feel afraid to get a reliable but cheaper SSD (NV2/SN770/MP33 PRO)
>7600 and 7600X are about the same price.
15€ difference is not "about the same price" to me, anon. 7600x is basically just OC'd out of the factory (and slightly binned to perform a tad bit better). I'd just grab a 7600, run it stock until you feel like it's getting a little sluggish and then spend like half an hour or so getting a stable OC and running that.

>>102722541
AMD, as usual, excels in the budget GPU space.
If you're looking to game at 1080p, AMD is likely the best option
If you're want to push high resolutions or crazy high framerates, you'll likely want a higher end GPU where Nvidia then simply offers more through DLSS/DLAA
Basically, if you're thinking of getting anything past the 7700XT I'd go Nvidia, however AMD is apparently cutting prices on their GPUs at the moment so maybe it becomes interesting again

All three of them make decent mid & high-range cards.
ASUS card owners complain about coil whine, but I think this complaint is overrepresented due to their popularity.

The days of like 24c idle and 48c max load are over. Especially AMD products. They push the limits on every task they do so the temps fluctuate like crazy. It's never damaging level temps though.

The card is the same (maybe with some tweaks) but the cooler design is different.
Yes there's a difference in how well the cooler works, but the main difference is how much support you'll get IF something goes wrong
With some, you're shit outta luck & won't be able to get in contact with anyone. This matters less in europe because unlike Americans we aren't fucking cucks getting bent over by corporations so you can usually return it to the store within a reasonable period

I don't think so but in general no other country in the EU beats Germany on the prices.

Not all german stores ship abroad any more THOUGH, the typical german perfidiousness. The hyperautists use mailbox de to get around that while the regular upstanding austist just use the ones who do.

The only things I don't order from Germany is things like cases since they're prone to get smashed by the postal services.

It's actually disgusting how much cheaper it is in Germany, like coolers and shit, the Arctic Liquid Freezer III is around 40 euros cheaper with shipping from Aquatuning than it is to buy in Swedenistan. On a whole build it's like 200 euro difference.

For something like a warranty claim with Intel. Why should I ever follow their directions when it comes to "testing" that it definitely is the CPU when it obviously is the problem? They demand a bios update because it's not the newest and latest and "might" help. But on the chance your PC gets screwed because of a power outage or something, then who will be liable for it? Will Intel cover the cost considering they demanded you update the bios to keep the RMA going forward?

I just do not see this as acceptable for 13th/14th gen CPU's. I suspect most people will not do a BIOS update or even know how to and I really doubt support will guide you by hand either besides maybe a poorly edit guide that fails within 3 steps because of the various mobo's out there.

Can Intel stop being a bunch of kikes and release their new cpus already?

Anyone else too spooked by Intel atm to consider a 15th or even 16th gen atm? I need to see them go 2 CPU gens without issues like this so 17th gen is the earliest I'd consider in a best case scenario. Doesn't help that they seem to require a new mobo socket way to quickly, would hate to get surprised by an issue on a 17th gen and going to 16th or even 15th fail to help. May have to just wait for 18th gen for extra insurance so something like 4-6 years. I don't upgrade my builds I just buy something new after a long time so this is easily achievable.

>>102723705
Don't be a hardass and understand 99% of the RMA staff are not paid much above the bottom end of wages.
Just say yes if they ask you to update BIOS and report back in a day saying you still have issues. Regardless of what you have actually done.

Don't try to be intelligent and get ahead of them, they need to hear what they need to hear before proceeding with replacement hardware.

I've gotten a free UPS out of a trash picked one because I was patient and told them what they wanted to hear and said nothing that would incriminate me.

>>102723889

It's a bit wonky with autism games.
With DF it probably depends on embark size and dwarf number.
X3D is good, but eventually you have so much shit going on it spills over the cache size and you lose the advantage.
E.g Factorio was reported as amazing with X3D, but the benchmark used a small map, and the advantage vanishes the more you increase map size.
I've seen some anecdotal evidence that X3D chokes in lategame Stellaris, again because the working set starts to exceed the cache size.

No, it's real but it's pretty hard to bottleneck a CPU. If you're running a weak GPU, your CPU should keep up unless it's horribly outdated. If you have a strong GPU, you're likely not running 1080p medium settings, so your GPU will be getting hit harder.

Issue is you can't really do an accurate "bottleneck calculator" because life isn't that simple, there isn't one single test.

All the prices here are converted to USD from their price on PB Tech, who have a monopoly on parts here (no amazon warehouse yet), hence why the RAM is pricy and the selection is dogshit. Surprised at the price of the SSD though. This is about my budget, but I have part-time retail disposable income I don't otherwise spend, so eh.

I have no clue about the case or cooler, and the RAM is a compromise, but I think I did decently otherwise.

In order to understand bottlenecks, you need to understand the function of a cpu in gaming and similar workloads. A lot of people don't actually understand this and you read retarded comments whenever you see someone test cpus. In the simplest term possible, if your pc is a vehicle, the cpu is what decides the speed limit. Now, your engine (gpu) might or might not be capable of hitting that speed limit, there are many variables to that. If your gpu let's say is capable of going to 300 fps in a certain game at a certain resolution, but your cpu is only capable of a "top speed" of 250 fps, then you have a cpu bottleneck. If your top speed is 250 fps, and your GPU is only capable of making 200 fps, then you have a gpu bottleneck. Hope that clarified that. There's alot more to it but I tried to make it as simple to understand as possible.

Black.
White requires more cleaning/dusting to look nice, and sticks out more unless the room is also very white. Black fits in with more room types and colors. Anything that's white and plastic also has a tendency to yellow in sunlight, even if it's indirect.
And, if you don't care, black is the default anyways because it's cheaper.

What I really miss are side-mounted fan vents in pc panels. What I'll probably do when I replace it is get a case with a solid side panel option, make some measurements, draw a pattern to follow, and drill holes in it for a DIY solution. Would probably work best on a full tower. Function is more beautiful than form ever will be.

But yeah, the Define 7 does make it look nicer, and I need to spend another $20 to relocate the O11's I/O ports to the top, and then again they're in a weird centered position.
The D7 also comes with 4xUSB-A as well as opposed to O11's 2x.

We're not talking about VR gaming, pal. These are real use case scenarios that AMD is just hopelessly behind on, and that's why they're not even going to try in the coming generation. They're literally ducking out of the race because they can't compete. Buying an AMD card now is absolutely retarded unless you just want to run 15 year old games at 500fps and that's it.

however the 7900XTX is better than the 4080 which is what we were talking about

7900GRE Red devil for $620

Or wait for RDNA4?

>>102727493
I would wait®, don't be surprised if RDNA4 cards don't release until June/July of next year though.

Curiously, it seems like there's Chinese copies of old ATI Rage XL PCI cards being manufactured for sale, and I'm in the market for something better than the old S3 card in my Pentium MMX rig.

Any anons happen to know whether these cards are legit, or whether I should be looking for an original GPU of the era instead?

>>102727481
>the 7900XTX is better than the 4080
Only in pure rasterization, which is becoming less of a focus in future games. As said above, modern devs are using frame generation as a crutch, so you either use it or you play at 40fps native going forward. DLSS smokes anything else.
Saying ray tracing is a meme is like saying anti-aliasing is a meme. It used to be hard on systems, but now it's a basic feature. AMD isn't even in that fight, and they're pulling out of it by targeting the low/mid market.
AI and professional uses are miles ahead on NVIDIA. It's not even close. Even if you decide you want to screw around with a local AI program, you might not even have the option with AMD GPUs.
Sorry but buying AMD now is just stupid unless you're a 1080p gamer.

>>102727518
>have to use the igpu of the 7600x until 0625
Surely AMD wont be so incompetent.

>>102727569
The 8800XT just needs to be released ahead of the RTX 5070.
Its performance isn't going to sway anyone who plans to buy the RTX 5080 or 5090.

I mean liquid metal is the best, but high risk of damage if you fuck things up.
If you're bad with thermal paste or don't want to change the paste out when it starts to fail, the honeywell pad works really really good

>>102726442
White is better functionally speaking, allowing you to spot imperfections, contamination, and mosquitoes easier. The room becomes brighter too and it is less likely to heat up in the sun.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to find parts in vanilla white ABS or PVC plastic nowadays. Especially monitors.

Got 5700x3d 32gb ram and 3080ti. IN throne and liberty at 1440p I barelly get 30fps in 1% lows in city (outside ~100fps). Is my GPU totally outdated or this game is very badly optimised?
If outdated, grab 4080S or wait for new gen?

I would assume it would be this.

>>102728019
For a 240mm radiator, I'd probably stop at a 7800X3D or 7700X.
Intel CPUs are out of the question due to higher power draw during high workloads.

It's a phase change pad that transitions to a paste-like substance when the processor's running at higher temperatures for better thermal conductivity.
It hardens at lower temperatures, preventing the material from pumping out.
This characteristic made it popular to use on laptop processors and GPU dies.

It takes a bit of thermal cycling for material to cure over time (heated then cooled).
After that curing process, it is superior to thermal pastes.
Graphene pads like Kryosheet lasts longer, but it's not as performant.

>>102728115
paste bros, this isn't fair

>>102728126
No, I think the material will start to fill in microscopic gaps as it's heated and then cooled repeatedly.
Apply the usual amount of mounting pressure when installing the baseplate/heatsink.

The chart might show PTM7950 to be underwhelming compared to a paste, but the cooling performance of a paste will degrade faster.
Look what happened to the factory-applied paste after just six months.

fuck amd

>>102728115
whats to stop it from pumping out when it gets hot and turns to a paste-like substance?

>>102728152
Do you have any tips for handling PTM7950? A lot of people say its very difficult to handle. A few have said to put it in the fridge first?

>>102728182
>>102728182
>>102728182

>>102728058
It's great for direct die cooling but bad for CPUs that have an IHS

>>102728161
I'd guess only the excess material would pump out during thermal cycling.
You'll know if it's not working correctly if the temperature's degrading.

>>102728179
Watch application guides on YouTube, and store it in a cool place or a refrigerator.
I'd seal it in a Ziploc if you're going to put it in a fridge.
It's easier to handle when it's in cool, solid form.

Moddiy sells a paste version of it.
