>>102914716probably for everything except>muh games
>>102914718Only the scaling sucks its the best resolution for 27" right now
>>102914724The Lion Cove P-Cores suck, it's being padded by the E-Cores.
>>102914724you're being baitedthe stock power profile is 125w however you can remove the limits or set them to 4096w in the bios. The cpu in this mode will pull as much power as it can before thermally throttling. the fact that it reaches 370w before throttling is actually impressive.
arrowlake is generating a lot of seething lately
>>102914738does an x3d chip even provide more fps at 4k with the best video cards?
>>102914742>paddedYou mean Intel is using goysumers as beta testers for Skymont ahead of the Clearwater Forest launch.
>>102914777perhaps? i think the new craze is focusing on 1% lows, which the x3d chips do a better job of maximizing >I already pre-ordered my 285k
98000X3D incoming, Intcels on suicide watch.
this isn't looking good for amd>>102914817clearwater forest uses darkmont
>>102914821im genuinely considering going x3d but i play at 4k so i'm wondering if i should even bother upgrading at alli have a 12700k atm
>>102914844are you already on DDR5? I would focus on saving for a 5090 if that's your thing.CPU wise, the x3d will be the best for gaming.value wise, it might be worth picking up a 14th gen at a massive discount>don't crucify me for a 14th gen rectl;dr 12700k is fine
>>102914844I wouldn't upgrade from a 12700k to anything at this point. The only scenario in which an X3D would be worth it is if you play a particular game which gets a huge boost, like Factorio for instance. If you spend a lot of time in such a game and are hitting the performance cap on your current CPU, then get one since the uplift is huge. Otherwise I don't think there's any need to bother.
i honestly don't have any idea whether to buy Intel Arrow Lake or AMD 9800X3D :\
>>102915053its not hard. arrowlake for productivity and x3d for overpriced gaming
I have a 2TB 970 EVO+ in Gen3x4 slot , an empty Gen2x4 slot and $100Should I get another EVO+ and raid them , get 1TB 970 Pro for the MLC meme (and swap it in the faster slot) , or sell EVO+ to get some cheap 4TB instead?

>>102915372Nice "low latency".Trash dimms
>>102915403yes i agree. cudimms kits sent in the 200s review kits from gskill and others are around 8200mt/s with cas timings starting around 40 which would be a much better option.
Blackpill me on gaming laptopsIm strongly considering getting a 14900HX + 4090 one custom built Im not 100% on a laptop, but i will probably have to be without a dedicated gamer pc for upwards of 1/3rd of the year otherwise

>>102915313Any leaks on what's so different this time to call it "reimagined"?Both CCD have X3D?Stacked L2+ (faster than L3 but split up into smaller pieces directly connected to each core)?HBM in place of one CCD?
>>102915704isnt the 5700x3d better tho?
Can PBO settings fuck with the GPU in some way?I noticed that after setting PBO to auto instead of doing some manual values and CO settings I don't get my GPU to crash when trying certain overclock/undervolt settings on it.
Why are there no good budget options for inexpensive AM5 boards with wifi and zero RGB, and also isn't fucking butt-ugly? The closest I've found was ASRock PG Lightning X670E but its got an ugly ass print on the board plus doesn't have wifi and there's the Gigabyte Gaming X AX V2 where it's less ugly and has wifi but it's a tad pricier
>>102915760General idea is solid. I've optimized it somewhat here:https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/wXBNkJOne thing I will say first is that I'm wary of giving normies AMD cards. They always seem to fuck them up somehow (or maybe AMD does but that's a separate topic).Here's the changes I've made and my justifications:>CoolerYou want one. Even the cheapest tower is miles better than the stock slug. Don't forget to put some hysteresis in to the fan curves so he'll actually benefit from the extra mass.>BoardMatter of a small cost saving and avoiding the crappy Mediatek WiFi. If he needs WiFi, add an AX210 card.>RAMCost saving.>StorageHDD in 2024 is a firm no IMO. Also moved away from the QLC boot drive.>PSUCost saving.>FanYes the 5-pack is better value per fan but the 4000D only needs one extra to get good cooling. Maybe put it back in if you're going to use them yourself?
Who the FUCK gives a shit about whether a blurry snoyglop movie made with Unreal 5 that nobody will remember in 6 months gets 0.1 FPS more or less?Why do no """game""" reviewers benchmark autism games that actually care about CPU?I think the only one is GN with the recent addition of the Stellaris benchmark.
>>102915992Why X670? B650 would be the logical choice for a budget board.Also best to add your own WiFi card on AM5 because 99% of them have a Mediatek chipset with dropout issues.
>>102915687>>102915606This are good points, thanksCurrently running an old Lenovo legion and heating seems like a bigger bottleneck than hardwareMight actually just go for a mid tier rig and a mid tier laptop for around the same price
>>102915779>HBM in place of one CCD?Not even HBM3e is nowhere near as fast as the current L3 X3D cache.
>update bios>suddenly ram has issues even though I'm using same settings
Brother needs a work laptop that can also do some light gaming like League and shitAny recommendations under €500?
>>102916168this happened to me and i could never run XMP again>pain
>>102914743>4096 wattsKEK what the fuck
>>102916174Thinkpad P51
>>102916190Same shit as removing the limit. Means it'll boost to the thermal maximum instead.
>>102916056Slop is popular and gets the clicks but yeah I wish somebody would bench KSP or Minecraft. Though in a way it doesn't really matter because there's a high chance every chart would mirror the rankings of a Cinebench 1T run.
>>102914641Xiaomi G Pro 27i should be on the 1440p Monitor recommendations

>>102916188Sad thing is I have to update if I want to upgrade to 5700x3d, my old bios was version 2xxx
>>102914743125w is stock with the boost profile being 250W again.
>>102916229>inb4 intel manage to create a cpu that actually draws 4096 wattsGod just IMAGINE
>>102916258I wish reviewers would benchmark as many game engines as possible. Monecraft on the other hand, I wish was a regular benchmark using the vanilla version, modded with optimization mods, and with shaders in a standardized repeatable fashion somehow, such as when generating a world, loading chunks, boot times, running through a worldwith contraptions, etc.
>>102916258>there's a high chance every chart would mirror the rankings of a Cinebench 1T runThat's not really true, cache and latency are still important for sim-heavy games.
I can't wait for 5060 ti 16gb
>>102916259What is this monitor about? Been seeing it brought up a lot lately.
>>102915992B650m HDV, add a WiFi card. X670e is not budget. I'd say x870 pro rs WiFi is the best value right now.
>>102916364>5060ti getting 16 gb when 5080 barely gets itKek
>>102916165Yea it won't replace cache, but a 16~24GB HBM stack can upgrade or for some use cases even replace RAM.It's already been done on some server CPUs so modern OS are aware of tiered memory.
>>102916174ThinkPad and dell Latitude, go to tpg/
Is this the longest wait between GPU generations? It's gonns be like 2.5 years if it launches during CES next year.
>>102916364you mean 12 gb
Brehs, build is not final yet, need to replace the ram. Qube 500 is pretty cool.
Amd fans are rabid
>>102916436>Stock cablesBreh
>>102916447Shintel fans are delusional.
>>102916390I expect tiered caching will become more popular as top grade silicon gets more expensive. Designing a good HBM interconnect will start to look mighty attractive when you're staring down a $50k wafer.
According to pcpartpicker I can add a 120w TDP CPU (say 9800x3d) on top of my 4090 and be fine with my 750W PSUTime to give it a shot
3d cache gpu's when?
2 more days until the cpu arrives 2 weeks later than the first part
>>102916339Would be nice.>>102916346Yeah true. Factorio is the obvious counterpoint.
>>102916449So cable sleeves or can I get super flower compatible cables?
>>102916468AMD has infinity cache on RDNA
>>102916463Should be fine if the PSU is strong. The 4090 itself can run at 350W with minimal performance loss as well.
>>102916463Is your PSU ATX 3.1 though anon?
>>102916486Hopefully it'll hold, I've set a temp limit of 84° but maybe I'll just run it at 90% power limit for like 3% performance loss.>>102916490I don't know, probably not. It's gold certified and A-tier in the tier list though, I'm trusting it...
>>102916564Don't use it for 4090. Get one with 3.1 and check hwbusters instead of LTT.
>>102916584I've already been using it with my 4090 for ten months, been fine so far.
>>102916564A temp limit will do basically the same thing. Though as I recall you can go quite a bit lower than 90% before you see a 3% drop; Nvidia seems to have given it the power limit for a much larger die.>>102916584If it meets the requirements for A-tier then the worst thing that'll happen is a shutdown. No sense tossing a working PSU based on speculation.
>>102916591House fire pilled.
>>102916007yeah the fans were just because the reviews on the case said the stock ones werent enough so might as well get a few for futureyoure probably right about storage lol, just used to having a HDD for everything else that isnt boot drive so put it in therethanks for the suggestions
Day 564 of waiting for next-gen GPUs.
>>102916601>If it meets the requirements for A-tier then the worst thing that'll happen is a shutdownI did get a complete shutdown once without any error message as I was playing a heavily unstable and porn modded Skyrim, the game froze and my screen turned black then the PC entirely shut down. I wonder if that was the PSU, nothing else happened since then.
>>102916667>heavily unstable and porn modded SkyrimY-yeah definitely the PSU.
What if.... cpu's with 4d cache
>>102915767rayquaza limited edition or bust
Not that it's replacing DIMMs anytime soon I'd imagine, but which is supposed to be the future of desktop memory down the line? CAMM2 or CUDIMM?https://videocardz.com/newz/gigabyte-preparing-z890-aorus-tachyon-ice-motherboard-with-camm2-memory-supporthttps://videocardz.com/newz/colorful-showcases-ddr5-cudimm-memory-overclocked-to-10000-mt-s
>M.2>now CAMM2how long until there's no more room to put pointless garbage on motherboards?why is onboard m.2 even a thing?what was the problem with putting an expansion card with a bunch of m.2 slots into a PCIE slot? Now you get m.2 drives cooking themselves due to sitting in a deadzone, and retardation like nvme drives downgrading your GPU's lanes.
>>102916463you did multiply 120w by 1.3 to get the real tdp first right
WHAT AM I WAITFAGGING FOR
>>102916584>Get one with 3.1 and check hwbusters instead of LTT.Seriously, quit referencing the shitty Tier-list written and managed by nobodies.HWBusters/Cybenetics is the reason why Gamers Nexus don't bother setting up their own PSU reviews because they'll repeat the same shit at best.GN's recent 12VHPWR video soured information from Cybenetics.The most reliable units on that crappy list are the ones reviewed by HWBusters anyway.If a PSU manufacturer didn't send a review sample to HWBusters, that model's probably not worth your money.It's that simple.
>>102916707you have to get those lanes from somewhere anon, pcie slot or onboard makes no differencex670e supports 1 gen 5 pcie slot and 3 nvme slots with zero performance downgrades, that's plenty
>>102916719The 7800X3D has an 88W PPT and pulls more like 50W in games. Stands to reason the 9800X3D will be similar but even if it isn't the rig would still be well under 750W.
>>102916803>But ratings mostly tell nothing, like 80 Plus certificationThat's why Corsair's completely ditching 80 Plus certification and just going with Cybenetics.https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/power-supplies/corsair-ditches-80-plus-for-psus-here-are-the-cybenetics-ratings-itll-use-instead/
finally, arrowlake and blackwell are here. time to start waiting for novalake and rubin
>>102916803Why is the tier list bad? Are there negative feedbacks of people's PSUs blowing up because they listened to them?
>>102916856It's fine just outdated. Been a year since the last revision.
>>102914777Generally not, but it depends on the game and settings (pic related).Of course, playing on 4k high rather than ultra, or using a 5090, might make it a more common situation.
>>102916834>NVIDIA might leapfrog 3nm process, moving straight to TSMC 2nmAbsolutely based
>>10291637127-inch QHD IPS Mini LED Quantum Dot panel with 180 Hz, Adaptive-Sync, HDR1000, 1,152 dimming zones and a wide color gamutAll of this for 369$ on AmazonIn Europe though, I can find online shops selling it at 315€So overall an amazing price/performance monitor
>>102916868it is on 3nm tho
>>102916707>how long until there's no more room to put pointless garbage on motherboards?>why is onboard m.2 even a thing?Laptop integration is driving PC design now, with Desktop DIY more of an afterthought than ever I'd imagine. It's like how even many $300-400+ motherboards don't have more than 4x SATA ports anymore. In addition to hogging precious PCB real estate on the ATX-dimension'd spec, requiring EVEN MORE screws to install and swap stuff when simple push/pull latches on DIMM Banks & PCIe Slots were already there is not the direction I would have taken. Given how dense CPU chips are getting I wonder if we'll get to the point where they just start combining the die and socket all-in-one and have the IHS fused into the VRM heatsink or something like there too.>>102916791>WHAT AM I WAITFAGGING FORI guess to see final confirmation on how good or bad Arrow Lake & Zen 5 X3D is. Otherwise nothing I find interesting until true 4K RGB OLED arrives next year.
>>102916856It's redundant, all the reliable ratings in that list are sourced from Cybenetics reviews.The rest are mostly subjective/anecdotal/amateur opinions.
>>102916813You're right, I just looked up some reviews of the 7800x3d power draw and it's suprisingly lowAMD truly fucked Intel up when it comes to gaming
Is Zen 6 confirmed to be on AM5?
>>102916681

my 9950x box is still sealed...surely i can just... wait... until the x3d...sell it at a 100–150 bucks loss and pay an extra 150 minimum... surely that's sensible... haha...
>>102916936It makes a bit of sense if you understand that AMD invented their TDP formula to give OEMs an idea of what Intel-equivalent cooling solutions they should use. 3D cache makes the chip harder to cool so a higher TDP was, quite literally, chosen.

>>102917176Are you building a new rig? Because with AM5 the CPUs dont have pins anymore, it's on your mobo.Which means it's riskier than ever to insert a CPU.
Add another $100 to the 5090 MSRP!In fact, add another $100 to every class MSRP!
>>102917031>if you could buy, say a pure fantasy, an integrated board design in a chassis bigger than a NUC but only able to host a single GPU that had a really high performance Threadripper-like CPU on it on with only two RAM slots and PCIe slots and a modest number of USB external ports and good integrated cooling vs an all separates (mobo,CPU, etc.) the same CPU with 5 slots and a dozen USB ports - which would you prefer?If it was cheaper than buying everything discretely and putting assembling it myself, yes actually. And it very well could be much cheaper on account of economies of scale in production. There's never really been a major play into a real Enthusiast-class AIO other than what Minisforum does on occasion.

Is it worth geting a 7800XT or should I wait for 8000 series cards
>>102917332lol what 8000 series cards They will never exist
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9000x3d-officially-arrives-november-7th-9000x-series-now-30-to-50-cheaper>"Holiday" promotionLOL those prices ain't ever going back up. Also still ~$50 more expensive that equivalent Zen 4 models. This cycle of AMD releasing products at stupid MSRPs, getting raked over the coals by consumers and reviewers, only to then drop prices a weeks or months later after stock begins rotting on shelves has got to stop. Is it really worth destroying their reputation and not having good sell-through of inventory for protracted periods of time just to poach a few fanboy whales? Good sign for Arrow Lake though that they are doing this days before it's launch.

>>102914641brosI'm planning on doing a full setup upgrade in the next 3 to 4 monthsmy current rig is nearing 9 year of age, it can't run most games past 2020 (even Northen Journey crashes it), it even chokes on software like VSC and MatLab (Unreal as been impossible to use for months) - overall it's time I put it to restI already decided on most components and peripheralsonly the mobo, cpu, gpu and psu remain undecised - the first two will be choosen after Intel 15th gen and 9800X3D come out ; for the gpu I'm thinking of waiting until CES 2025, by which time AMD 8000 cards will release and NVIDIA 5000 cards will also be already available ; the psu obviously will be bought once I've decided on the previous componentsbut that's not what I've come here to ask you todayrather, I'm thinking of buying every component and peripheral (again, save the mobo, cpu, gpu and psu) during Black Fridayis this a good idea?do stores really have significant discounts (10% would already be quite significant imo) during this time?will I still have trouble with stock even if I reserve?
>>102916983No but you're kvetching
Anon here that broke his gpu yesterdayWent the entire day with no issues after setting bios settings back to normal. GPU only crashes if I increase 150mhz or more the core clock from stock through MSI afterburner. I can do +75 fine still and +1000mhz memory without trouble. I tested this with some games that always fucking seem to crash if there's a hint of lack of stability.The temps while lower are nothing outstanding. I'm afraid of opening the fucker again so I'll just have to eat it up.
Does anyone know if there's a spiritual successor to the Themaltake Core X9? I want a large case which supports a horizontal motherboard, but can't get my hands on a good one.

>>102917509>rather, I'm thinking of buying every component and peripheral (again, save the mobo, cpu, gpu and psu) during Black Fridayis this a good idea?>will I still have trouble with stock even if I reserve?Non-performance governing parts like the Case, RAM, & SSD are "fine" to buy ahead if there's a good deal on Black Friday. However for the SSD & RAM I'd only do it if you have a system you can test them with to make sure you didn't receive a DOA part rather than only finding out in January past your return period.>do stores really have significant discounts (10% would already be quite significant imo) during this time?Yes. If you see something that looks like a good deal, you can use price history trackers like CamelCamelCamel or Keepa to see if it's actually a good buy compared to in the past.
>>102917570sorry to hear that, fren.

>>102917509>rather, I'm thinking of buying every component and peripheral (again, save the mobo, cpu, gpu and psu) during Black Friday>is this a good idea?Don't buy stuff if you won't be able to test if it works. it's much easier to return to the store than to do a warranty rma.
Is it a bad idea to PTM and deshroud a new GPU on day 1?Bought a 4070S Ventus with two shitty fans and a dogshit cooler because it was the only thing over here and really thinking of doing both with 120mm fans as soon as it arrives.

>>102918053OC + undervolt the card first before you make any physical modifications.You should be able to match stock performance with an overclock set at 950mV GPU core limit.+105~150MHz GPU core & +600~800MHz for the memory is usually fine.https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia%20Overclocking.mdhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOUIf you don't set a positive GPU core boost frequency offset, you're just setting a voltage limit to the card.

so amd will always be last place in upscaling tech from now on?
>>102917236Go check out the Erying boards on AliExpress, they offer decent prices on 14th Gen hx DDR4 boards that can OC pretty well, I bought the tiger lake ES board a while back to use on a test bench and the BIOS was surprisingly good, only issue with that board is the dogshit VRMs.
Looking for a new monitor for bo6. Should I get a 240hz ips or 240hz oled? Right now I’m looking at the LG 27GR83Q-B and the ASUS XG27AQDMG. I would pony up and get the PG27AQDP but it’s severely backordered and I want something I can play day 1.
>>102918448They have eyes on console APUs and mobile gaming handhelds, both upscaling and frame generation help AMD's clients use smaller chips that draw less power. It will get better for those reasons alone.They don't care as much about dGPU customers.FSR 1/2/3 upscaling is as bad as it is because AMD wanted their solution to work on consoles.Major console titles like Zelda, Hogwarts, and D4 all use FSR to run at 30fps.
>>102917821putting an oversized cooler is one way of making a GPU quieter.but you kill 2 birds with one stone if you just use a frame limiter. you will make the game smoother, colder, and quieter.Also I just realized that the 4070 runs cold. Maybe there is something wrong with my 1660 TI, but it always runs at 80C with max fan speed, but every review shows the 4070 running 60-70C which is enough for the GPU's to lower the fan speed to 50% which is my target when I use a frame limiter (I need to lower the FPS down significantly to reach that).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr3QN-vSGd0>It's so much quieter and colder!That is already a very quiet PC, 50% fan speed is much more quieter than 100% fan speed.I thought that I have autism for using a limiter and caring about noise, but maybe my GPU is just loud AF?
>>102918491i head fsr 4 is moving to ai upscaling
what happened to all the blower style cards? Is shit just running so hot these days that they can't cool them enough? my founders 1070ti ran just fine without heat problems.
>>1029185821070Ti was 170W hard cap4070Ti is 285W typical before spikes
Reminder that Intel was running PL1 and PL2 at 250W vs the Zen 5 gaming benchmarks, Arrow-Lake is a joke.
>>102918582Blower cards are really niche and just shit, the only time you’d want a blower card would be if you’re using a case with really poor airflow (like a prebuilt) and you don’t want the gpu to expel its hot air into the case. It’s a combination of gpus being hotter, blowers being loud as fuck, and modern cases being much better than ones from like 15 years ago
>>102918516Limiting fps to 60 in a game you can only run at ~70 is a good idea but not going to make much of a difference in this regard. Undervolting might.>but it always runs at 80C with max fan speedMy 2060 was thermal throttling (83C) for a long time before I replaced its shitty half-broken fans with other shitty but functioning (for now) fans. Then I figured why not go further and replaced the thermal paste, undervolted, and bought a case with good airflow. Now it doesn't go past 71 at 100% load.>1660ti - 120W>4070 - 200WSo it definitely generates more heat at full load, although the cooling may be better. Also, 100% is usually overkill and probably shouldn't be kicking in at 80C, just set a custom curve.
If I drop a few frames, say somewhat consistently dropping to 56-59 while my GPU utilization sits at around 80-85% (Never going anywhere near even 95%) is that a sign that my CPU is bottlenecking me?
>>102918696Yes, unless you set a frame limit between 57~58 fps.The game could have dogshit coding too.
>>102914641If i have 7800x3d And use 2x16GB 6000CL30Should i oc the ram or leave it stock
>>102918657blower cards allow for pictures on the front
>can’t use top pcie slot with am5 offset bracket installed on cooler >have to reinstall the cooler, reapply thermal paste, and sacrifice temps to install gpuFUCK Always make complete sure every single thing in your build is compatible, bros
Which of the 2 spots should I put an extra fan in? Or should I just say fuck it and fill both? Or is it not going to do much so I shouldn't even bother?
>>102918199doesn't really answer my question. monitors unboxed guy says 3-4 years until you get noticeable burn in under favorable conidtions.
>>102918842What’s the point of dressing as an anthro if you’re taking away the best part about the characterGod I hate egirls so fucking much
>>102918842does her phone case sayEATSLEEPBRAPREPEATWhat the hell
>>102918842The answer is that OLEDs will always develop burn-in, it is just a matter of time. Even LCDs can develop burn-in, I had an old VA monitor with the Windows task bar burned in.
>>102918873I've had a IPS from 2008 "burn-in" in like 2012 after using the same back ground a lock screen picture for like 3 years straight.I eventually got it unstuck with those pixel refresher apps after like a week or two of using it.
>>102918817Doesn't really matter unless your GPU's cooling is kinda garbage and could use extra air straight from the bottom2 front 1 back is enough
>>1029147181440p at 27" is the sweet spot where everything looks sharp without being a performance tank like 4K.
>>102914718agreed. we need 4k at 27"
>>102918817The only use for fans in that position is when deshrouding your GPU and the fans should be higher touching the GPU's heatsink.Anything else is just RGB zoomerism to shove more fans with gay leds inside the case.
>>102918895>>102918989I saw it helping somewhat in GN's tests (case is lancool 2 mesh), but I imagine it still depends on various factors. Like my GPU's length, which is the reason I'm asking. And its cooling is probably kinda garbage indeed.
>>102918896Yeah, but on the other side if you go 4K you can actually utilize DLSS as it was intended. DLSS is more or less a meme at lower resolutions than that, people claim its good at 1440p but I've yet to play a single game where I don't notice that I'm upscaling with DLSS and I'm always using quality mode. at 4k, dlss is good enough that you're probably not going to notice it.
RDOA4
>>102919048DLSS looks bad only at 1080p, at either 1440p or 4K it's fine. Plus not all games support DLSS.
>>102919080
>>102918896It's a fucking waste, there should be more 1440p 32" monitors.
Is there s resson why I couldn't repaint all of my electronics (cases, monitors, gpu shrouds) to be white instead of black? I need the visibility in the room. If so, what paint should I use?
>>102916940yes, but HWunboxed are pretending its not so they have something to criticize AMD over
>>102919364seems easier to get a light instead of dealing with repainting and masking fucking everthing
>>102919388>get a light>use the sun>monitor becomes hot to touch >other peripherals still dark and absorb light like black hole making screws and mosquitoes difficult to spotIf this bitch doesn't look like Mirror's Edge then it ain't bright enough.
>>102917821you'll be fine just taking off the fans and replacing them with 120mm's, ootb paste will be fine
>>102918662Wow, you are correct, I messed around and applied this curvehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM6UDYeoY8MIt's significant I can increase the fps by like 20% with the fan being at 50%, and with a fan curve I can make the fan run slower a little lower so it's extra quiet, but it's not enough to remove the frame limiter. But it has more to do with my monitor being 1080p 165hz, I think for most games at lowest settings + 720p 144hz would be reachable frame limit with quiet fans.
>>102919364https://youtu.be/zY8R7XFkda4For monitors you probably should be also disassembling them instead of using masking tape.
>>102919363Is this with all devices combined including laptops?
>>102919579based on the gpu skus it appears its mostly from desktop
>>102919669>it's another Athlon era episode
how exactly does temperature affect a CPUs lifespan? i thought staying at 90c was something really bad for a cpu, but from what ive heard of am5, it aims to be that hot to squeeze as much performance as you can get from it. what about a cpu constantly staying at 50 or 60 c?

I think it was a good deal and it's been working perfectly and still is but around a month and a half ago this smell started that comes and goes. All the temps for the components are normal. It will go entire days with no smell or longer even but sometimes it will be quite strong before going away again eventually. Best I can come up with for a description of the smell is that it smells almost like cooked food??? Coil whine type sound that is even less frequent and I think has been present since I first got the computer and for some reason yesterday when I finally bothered to change the ram speed to something higher it got quite loud and at one point started doing this weird stop start pattern where it would go nearly silent for like half a second ramp back up and so on. Still whining a little bit today but not like last night. TLDR: Weird smell started a month ago, also some pretty bad coil whine immediately after I changed the ram speed.Should I be worried about anything? Worst case scenario it could be something with the power supply I guess. I'm gonna open up the case regardless and take a look.

>>102920709They are gonna have a new type of Vram on the 5000 series. I think the 5060 will be about 20-30% slower than a 4090, the 5070 around the same as a 4090 with the 5080/5090 having a huge 60% performance increase over the previous generation.

>>102920858Nvidia thought that RDNA3 was going to be a bigger threat because on paper it should have been, the coolers for the 4090 were built for 600W because Nvidia were expecting to push the power that high. When it became clear that RDNA3 wasn't able to punch at its theoretical weight they dropped the power limits and all the cards had overbuilt coolers.
>>102917509I would wait, because what you would pick up now could not fit into the later bought partsthe mobo might not fit into the case, some of the new pcie 5.0 ssds have their own cooling system which are not suitable for some mobos, some ram sets have profiles only for amd or intel, etc.

Which AIO 360 is the strongest? Which one has the best price/performance ratio? There is a lot of different producers and even more models, many of them have similar stats, and most of tests aren't really helpful, as they pick only few different ones instead of like 15+ ones.Also, are the 420 AIOs worth it? There is way less of them to select from, also not so many cases can fit them in the top.
>>102921199Arctic Liquid Freezer III
>>102920669It'd be 4070+5% performance
>>102921199liquid freezer iii is the best on the market, what cpu do you plan on using? you might not need a 420mm, but itll definitely cool your chip faster, and considering the 420mm liquid freezer is only $8 more than the 360, its definitely worth getting if your case supports it
Solid options for an ultrawide oled curved monitors? I've been mulling around on it for a while and haven't been wowed by anything yet.
>>102921298I'm not 100% sure yet, but definitely an am5 one. Perhaps 9800X3D, maybe 7950X3D, right now I'm waiting until January for the RTX 50xx and 9950X3D releases. Haven't picked the case either, I wanted to settle on the cooling first, but I was perhaps thinking of something from the fractal design.
>>102921199>Which AIO 360 is the strongest? Which one has the best price/performance ratio?Depends on whether you're cooling AMD or Intel. Absolute best is generally the ID-Cooling DX 360 MAX or Lian Li Galahad II Trinity around ~$100. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/id-cooling-dx-360-max-aio-liquid-cpu-cooler/10.htmlBest price/performance is the Thermalright Frozen Prism around $60.https://gamersnexus.net/coolers/thermalright-strikes-again-5690-360mm-liquid-cooler-frozen-prism-review>Also, are the 420 AIOs worth it? There is way less of them to select from, also not so many cases can fit them in the top.Only if your workloads are long enough that the added heat capacity give you more extra time to perform the work with higher boost clocks before the loop gets totally heat soaked.So for small burst workloads like photoshop, short video editing/encoding, or compiling there's no advantage over a 360 or 280mm AIO (they perform about the same) and like wise for hours long gaming sessions there's no point because both size rads will still be heatsoaked to the same level by the end of playtime. See this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDB3ZBHh5Rk>>102921204The Frozen Prism undercuts the LFIII units at same rad sizes in both cost and noise normalized tests now.

the last AMD GPU i used was a sapphire RX 580, and it was extremely loud when under loadi'm now looking for a new AMD GPU, are they usually really loud? i always heard about sapphire being a really good brand, which always confused me considering how loud it was. i'd like my new build to be a lot more quiet
>>102921512it was probably because it was single fan
>>102921528it was a dual fan
>>102921553in that case it probably needed repasting, dual fan cards are usually a good compromise of sound/price for cards under 200W. the 4070 for example is a 200W card and there's plenty of 2 fan models and 3 fan models.
ignoring price and physical space compatibility, how stupid would it be to buy a mining-oriented board (the kind with a bunch of Pcie1x slots) then slap in a bunch of HSA cards and cram a case with SSDs as a dodgy storage box?

Plan on getting a 5090 + 9800X3D. Haven't shopped for a PC in a while, Logical Increments is recommending some X70E boards by MSI and ASrock. I'd like to run the best ram kits and overclock, don't have a pressing need for a lot of m.2 slots though or even ssds. Recommendations?
>>102922240Lisa Su absolutely isn't just Jensen Huang in a bodysuit and wig, stop making silly accusations.
>>102922014Ok but AMD is genuinely trash tho
why the fuck does no gpu reviewer ever do a sound testthe gpu is almost always the noisiest part of a build i should be able to know what it fucking sounds like
>>102922255Ryzen works best on 6000cl30 or 6400cl32 kits so you don't need to spend a gorillion dollars on overclocking parts
>>102922255Asrock Taichi seems to quite good for a nice price. The best MSI Godlike motherboard is not yet released for unknown reasons, but it will probably cost thrice as much as the Asrock Taichi and it seems to have only better ethernet/wifi than Taichi.
>>102922255>I'd like to run the best ram kits and overclockYou're buying the wrong CPU then. The X3D chips can't (easily) be overclocked and aren't sensitive to RAM speed.
>>102922313because nobody but söyboys give a shit about noise
>>102922327Okay and I'm assuming most mobos will be able to do 6000cl30 without having to delve too deep into right? I'm only really concerned with not being able to use premium parts or being randomly inhibited by buying the wrong mobo.>>102922387Is overclocking just not a thing anymore?

>>102922410>most mobos will be able to do 6000cl30 without having to delve too deep into right?Yes. All but the cheapest A620 boards should be able to hit 6000. Right now DDR5 speeds are generally limited by the IMC not the board.>Is overclocking just not a thing anymore?Not for performance' sake. It's not like back in the day where you'd slap on your 212 and get an easy +30% all-core with a voltage bump. Partly because the boost algorithm is doing basically that OOTB and partly because the modern nodes are so efficient that the manufacturers don't have to leave any frequency on the table to meet power targets.I will say that there's still fun to be had if you enjoy tuning for its own sake. It's just not as easy as it once was to get real performance gains for your time investment.>I'd like to run things cool and quietLook into undervolting and power target tuning though, of course, the easiest way to do that is to buy a bigger cooler than you need and make the fans run slow.
>>102922452because le jewtuber said nvidia good of course
>>102922410>Is overclocking just not a thing anymore?Basically.>At the very least I'd like to run things cool and quietShould be doable with a good case and aio.> I'm assuming most mobos will be able to do 6000cl30 without having to delve too deep into right?You shouldn't need to set anything to run 6000cl30, those should run out of box, you might be able to boost the ram to something like 7800-8000, that's what most mobos officially support.
>>102922465what youtuber actually says this thoughevery reviewer ive seen says the same thing, "get amd because their price/perf is better unless youre interested in DLSS or other nvidia feature"
>>102922313everyones ears are different and even giving weighted measurements can be misleading depending on the environment they were taken in
>>102922478and of course that very same youtuber is using a 4090
>>102922410>Okay and I'm assuming most mobos will be able to do 6000cl30 without having to delve too deep into right? I'm only really concerned with not being able to use premium parts or being randomly inhibited by buying the wrong mobo.6000CL30 is the current sweetspot and 99.9% of boards can use it fine. Many will do 7200+ but support at that level or more is seriously hit or miss.>Is overclocking just not a thing anymore? At the very least I'd like to run things cool and quietNo. AMD & Intel have mastered the art of binning to the point that modern chips are clocked to the hilt with turbo boost out of the gate with no real headroom to speak of.Either get a giant 360mm AIO and set the radiator fan and pump speed to very low, or get a Thermalright Phantom Spirit EVO that is the current best reasonable TOTL air cooler (without forking over for the NH-D15 G2) at least until they finally release the Royal Preytor UItra in a few months. Also a over-spec high-wattage PSU with a 0 RPM mode that won't turn on the fan in normal operation for 70-85% of your workloads. It's far easier to build a silent PC these days now that the boot drive can be a solid state NVME.
>>102922478i didn't say reviewer i said jewtuberas in the kind of retard you get on /v/
>>102922449I see, thanks for the reply. So CAMM2 will be the vertical GPU mount of memory.
>>102922452you know whats upsetting, more people own the 3050 6gb than the RX6600 which is the same price and 60% faster
>>102922535why does this fact upset you?
>>102922587its ensuring the nvidia monopoly
>>102922515nta but CAMM2 probably has a higher frequency limit because it's screwed down. Better contact = better signal integrity. It does remain to be seen if any CPU/board can leverage that - 1DPC setups are still capable of higher speeds than 99% of IMCs can handle. Perhaps it will need DDR6 to really come in to its own as an enthusiast option.
Anything I should know when buying a CPU when my longterm goal is to switch to Linux? I know AMD GPUs (or their drivers to be more precise) are WAY better for Linux but how about CPUs?
>>102922676Interesting.
>>102922683If you're going to gayem you probably want to avoid the dual-CCD X3Ds until an "easy" core scheduler is developed (which might have already happened depending on your definition of "easy"). Might not even be an issue if the Zen5 X3Ds have the cache on both CCDs. Other than that there's no difference.
stop kvetching and buy intel
>>102922595thats on amd not providing cards people actually want to buy
>>102922683what do you use the pc for?
>>102922866did you not read what I said, its 60% faster and the same price...
arctic has a sale on their site, snagged a freezer 36 for ~25€ including shipping for a new build. underrated budget cooler option IMO, also looks sexy af
>>10292288030% videogames, 70% average internet stuff. The videogames part is the only reason why Im still hesitating to move to Linux. While I dont play that often I still intend to do every once in a while. Im also stuck with an Nvidia card right now and want to use a distro that moved to Wayland. But things get better at that front, I just want to avoid doing the same mistake on the CPU side. Apparently Intel fired a bunch of their Linux driver staff, so that might be another reason to avoid Intel. All I want is an efficient CPU. Right now Im thinking about Core Ultra 265k, Ryzen 7 9700x or even 9800x3d (7800x3d seems to be efficient as fuck for a purely gaming CPU, just overpriced at the moment, so might as well get the new model).
Why is AMD graphics okay for xbox and ps5 but nobody wants them for pc
>>102922975All of those are going to be pretty similarly efficient at equal power limits. The 265K slightly moreso but not enough to justify a big investment. It will have more multicore performance too but you're not doing anything that needs that. I think on balance I'd take the 9800X3D if you're buying a high-end card and/or want to play at high FPS. If not then get whatever is cheapest overall.
>>102923102because the people engineering the xbox and ps5 arent retarded zoomers
>>102922888obviously thats not enough to make people want to buy them as evidenced by the paltry sales of amd products

lian li a3 case, with how my configuration is, this is how the fans between the cpu cooler, psu, and case fan would interact. is this fine or should i avoid it? ive always heard it was a bad idea to have your components "fight for air" between each other, like having two intakes face each other, but should this be fine considering the case fan intaking air right in between them?

Whats the best standard 870 board between MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte? Price is not a factor, only performance.
>>102923449Just buy a SSL 2 MK2 or 2+ MK2, headphonejack on the front, speakers and mics or one synth at the back. And big button and small button for volume on top.
>>102923505Forgot about the old D10.https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-d10-balanced-review-usb-dac.25094/https://www.amazon.com/Topping-D10-Balanced-ES9038Q2M-PCM384kHz/dp/B099W3335QIt's in the realm of state-of-the-art transparent resolution and at $140 gives more budget space to put into the pre/power amp stages for speakers.
>>102923553>Whats the best standard 870 board between MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte? Price is not a factor, only performance.None of them. The best X870 board is a X670-based board with more PCIe Lanes and USB 20/10/5 Gbps ports because AMD crippled the next-gen chipset for God know's what reason. It's not like USB 4 or PCIe 5.0 is useful at the moment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0axuzyN_1s

How much does the blue light filter on something like a benq matter? Is it actually any better than just using the build in blue light filter on windows 10?
>>102917573You can rotate Thermaltake Core V21 and change its panels whatever way you want. The case is widely available in my cunt, but I don't know how better/worse X21 is compared to X9 though.

>>102923732by the time we get mass adoption of usb4/pcie5 the board will be in a landfillthough 10gbe isnt exactly going mainstream anytime soon either, let alone 2.5 or 5
>>102923732>>102923768 ThisBy for the feature set that it actually useful now. Only USB4 could plausibly be argued as a realistic future-feature and if it comes to it, you could also get a cheap PCIe USB4-expansion card.

>>102923760NtaNot autistic enough to read these articles to check, but do they anything for sleep? I heard specifically avoiding blue lights late at night can make it easier to fall asleep
>>102923760I do use blue light filters and they have genuinely helped with eye strain, so no I don't think they are meme.
>>102923760From the top three links, the first one is basically irrelevant because they were testing whether blue light damages the eyes, which isn't the point at all since no one actually believes it does permanent damage to the eyes, just that it tires them faster.The other two were just inconclusive, which doesn't support either way,if anything the third once even claims that it probably does help.
>>102923768>>102923789>>102923815Yes that is true but I meant when you want to upgrade to a 9000 series cpu then you'd have to get a new motherboard if you went with a X670E.
Opinion on this?https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tqwwwgDoes a ryzen 7800x3d really make a big diff in gaming?
>>102923950update the bios and pop the new cpu in just like its always been done

>>102923984i wouldnt go for am4 unless youre getting a 5800x3d, youre just spending more money in the long run when you eventually upgrade
>>102923984Personally, I think it's a bad idea to build a zen3 build at the moment (from scratch at least)I'd suggest either going 12th gen intel if you wanna stay very budget or zen4 if you want to save money in the future.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mB4FWthttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/BVC2KX
