I know you american friends have different sales tax for each state. But when you say a product costs, say $500, are you including the tax in that?
When a Youtuber says "I got this CPU for $500", is that with or without tax?
Say, for example, if I buy something on Newegg or Amazon, at what moment does the tax show up?

>>103188272
it shows up at checkout

How difficult will it be to acquire a 5090/80 when they release next year? I've never bought new but I've got money these days and I am deciding if I go with a 4080/90 now, or wait.

If I went 80s I would go 1440p, but if I went 4090s I would grab a 4k. My only concern is that 4090s don't seem to always hold 60fps in 4k.

Changed my case because the old one was too small with terrible airflow.
The good, baby's first attempt but I didn't break anything and I'm using it right now.
The bad, I've underestimated how shitty a prebuilt pc for this.
>PSU cables are too small, right now having it sit on top of the case is the only way I could plug everything
>The motherboard is also small so it sits on 4 screws instead of the 6.
>There's also only 1 fan socket on it.
>Can't find the motherboard power specifications online so I can't connect the new case +/- power connectors, I have no idea where I'm supposed to plug those. Right now I'm using the power connector from the old case to boot up the machine.

As for the case itself, looks like there's only one sata storage spot? I'm using my old HDD but I wanted to add another SDD since the motherboard can handle 2 sata. Also unsure where I'm supposed to put the dvd reader from the old case.
I want to keep the upgrades to a minimum. It's an old i5 7400 GeForce GTX-1050 but they're both not worth upgrading with that motherboard. I just plan to build a completely new PC in around 2~3 years. I'm unsure if :
>I should pick cable extensions or invest in a new PSU
>Same for external SATA powered extensions for both the fans and the new SDD.

Wait what. 4090s should be maxing everything with 0 effort. Unless we're talking about unoptimized messes like Wilds.

>>103188517
yes because you can migrate this cooler to a newer build in the foreseeable future

Are you monitoring the temps on that cable ? Not a fan of the 12vhwpr connector ever since it came out 4yrs ago

Why is it that only 8600 is the only newer amd cpu without dedicated gpu.

>>103188611
Theres a couple at $3099. If you're going to drop 2x the price of a 4080S is the extra 100-300 bucks really the make or break here? You're already in wasting money territory as is.

If you already have the 3060 Ti, it's fine, but if you're buying new then there's way better choices than that card.

Rough go at making a build. It's kind of unrealistic to make a build with this budget and hope for double the performance but I tried. You can use your old RAM and storage, and probably sell some of your old parts for a bit more budget.

You need to define your screen first and what games you play.

2160p + 140 fps. Not happening this gen easily with modern games being so poorly optimized. Maybe 5000s, we don't know.
2160p + 60 fps. 4090, barely.
1440p. 4090 is massive overkill, but that isn't necessary a bad thing, its a good card but overpriced, you will max everything and never think twice. 4080 is the more sensible option, I doubt you will ever have an issue running anything max.
1080p. Any 4000, you're fine.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but yesterday I finally built my PC and all I had left to do was prepare a windows boot drive and transfer my data from my laptop.
The problem is I got unlucky and after turning it on again my laptop completely died out so now I'm stuck without an OS. I planted my laptop SSD into my PC but UEFI isn't detecting it so I assume either it's incompatible or maybe I need to install Windows 10 on my new blank SSD before accessing my data again.
Basically what I want to know is how can I boot my old laptop SSD to access Win10 and/or my files on my new PC, I have my important stuff like my password manager on an external hard drive but I still don't want to lose almost a decade worth of data.
I know USB to M2 adapters exist but I'm hesitant on spending $20 for one in case it still doesn't work or if I don't need it. If it helps the SSD is a Toshiba KSG60ZMV256G (picrel) and the motherboard is an ASRock B650M Pro RS on BIOS version 3.01

honestly the 5080 is a step back from even the 4090d

>>103188628
Price rumors were that it's going to be about the same as the 4090, which would make sense since the perf boost probably isn't going to be particularly impressive.

>>103189029
Barely anyone has a 4k anyway, do we even 'need' 5000s.

Some of us want our games to look better than they do on consoles, Anon. It's going to be very funny when every single Rockstar fanboy buys it thinking that they're going to get graphics anywhere close to what was shown in the teaser on their Xbox One S or PS5.

>>103188951
You'll find out when the video card fans run faster & louder.
It's most likely due to a bad batch of thermal paste supply.
It can't be deliberate because RMA is painful for margins, especially if they have to provide free shipping.

Peerless Assassin came onto the scene like 3 years ago, it's become the standard recommendation for dual tower air coolers, since it has high performance at sub $40. In terms of longevity, it's an air cooler, so even if it fails the most you have to do is replace the fans, which would cost less than the price difference for a NH-D15 anyway.

>>103189186
I thought generally speaking, they're worse than non-founder cards. Look pretty, run hotter.

>>103188911
I did which is exactly why I'm confused, I put the SSD back in just now and nothing different happens, in storage configuration it only sees the blank one in the first slot. I tried both slots 1 and 2 (haven't tried slot 3) as well as with and without the other SSD which is why I want to know if it's a compatibility problem or something. I'm 90% sure the SSD itself is fine so I don't know what the issue is.

>>103189186
Yes, they are dual axial fans, one on the front and the other in the back. They are not quiet ootb whatever the shills say.
I own the 4080 Super to know it. I have a very good GPU but it's thermally limited by the FE cooler, which is supposed to cool a 600W draw 4090 (4080/S FE uses 4090's cooler).

Keep this in mind.

my 7800XT was CAD$598
a 7900XTX would cost approx CAD$1200
I would pay 2x the cost to get maybe +50% performance increases at higher resolutions
That doesnt seem worth it

my CPU+mobo+RAM was CAD$498. + $598 so total CAD$1096 for the core components
The total cost would increase to CAD$1700 if I got the 7900XTX, representinbg an increase in total cost of +54% for performance gains of around +50%, so the 7900XTX is in fact worth it

All of them, but as soon as you put in one in the Gen 5 M.2 slot's connected to the CPU it'll cause the PCIe slot for your GPU to run at x8 instead of x16 because the lanes aren't deprecated. Additionally, if you use the M.2 slot that shares bandwidth with the PCIe x4 slot, it'll disable it and vice-versa. If you don't care about any potential performance hits from x8 then whatever, but it's entirely up to you and real-world testing. Ultimately, you'll have one Gen 4 M.2 slot that won't fuck with the GPU slot but it'll turn off the PCIe x4 like I mentioned.

Google "AM5 Motherboards Sheet", I'd post the link but 4chan thinks it is spam.

Slide the bar all the way over horizontally after clicking on the X870E tab and look for the word "Bifurcate". If you don't see that, then somewhere, something is gonna share bandwidth. Only like three or four boards bifurcated their lanes currently. NZXT apparently has a prosumer board coming out that also bifurcated their lanes. That said, there are some boards which, depending on if they are pulling from the chipset or the CPU... it doesn't really matter all that much. Just read carefully, and if you're confused, pull up the manual for the board and look for the layout/board diagram to show you how things are interconnected. It may seem confusing at first, but if you cross-reference it against that spreadsheet it becomes considerably easier to figure out what does what.

>>103188342

i mean like "setting it up right" not involving the computer gimping brightness randomly or something like that. It seems like with OLED you can either pick bright or durable but not both.

There's gotta be a reason why everyone moved up to 32" for 4K with OLED's. Sure, you can find IPS and TN panel 4K monitors in 27" but fuck me, the 27" OLEDs aren't numerous and aren't good. There must be some sorta weird fuckin' thing going on there.

If you need to use DLSS Quality (upscaled from 1440p) to have playable framerates then you might as well just buy a 1440p monitor.

Also obviously don't buy a 4090 now unless it's deeply discounted by some second hand seller and in a good state.

Ill be honest I mostly play indie slop and A/AA games which will barely use the power of a 4090. The only thing thats coming that I would love to see flawlessly with 140fps and 1440/4k would be MH Wilds and Elden Ring 2/Whatever slop From throw at me in two years.

So I think I'm pretty much sold on the 4090 just so I don't ever run a risk of performance issues on a 1440p.

Show me. I gotta see this. Regular disk drives have pretty much lost the price battle because they weigh so much and are still a pain to manufacture due to the delicate components. The only time they really win on price per gig is when you need a shitload of space. Like, yes, you are objectively correct that you can buy a 20 TB Enterprise drive for the same price as a 4 TB 990 Pro, but are you going to need a 20 TB Enterprise drive? Are you even going to need 4 TB?

Seriously though, nowhere in my post did I tell you to buy the $130+ cases. Even I didn't, because I'm probably even more poor than you. Just don't cheap out, that's all. Especially if you actually want good airflow and not just "whatever works".

It was probably running near 1500~1600 RPM, the cooler & metal housing, that test result was from May of this year.
The cooler can't even sustain 2900MHz boost at stock fan curves, setting aggressive fan speed isn't worth the added noise.
The maximum I got @ stock fan curve is 2880MHz due to thermal limits.
The GPU is capable of running 3GHz effective @ 1.075V if I water cool it.

>>103189889
If you stick with the lower core count processors (8 cores and below), you will find that they run pretty cool. The more important factor thermally in an ITX build is probably the case, since it can decide how much cooling you are actually capable of.

Is it worth getting a 9700x over a 9600x processor? I'm not really doing anything hard but I also usually go like 4+ years before an upgrade so I want to know if going for the next level up is a noticeable difference. I could save even more with a 7600 but it feels like a mistake to buy previous gen at this point no?

>>103188272
They aren’t including the tax. It can be as low as 3.5% though. I believe some state have zero sales tax.

>>103189989
look at the benchmarks between 7700x vs 9700x first, it's mixed sometimes it's worse and more often it's only like 2% better

you could save more just finding 7700x on clearance or on some bundle deal where the mobo is basically free

Having base game on steam is almost mandatory for modding, steamcmd scripts are a fucking pain (rip steamworkshopdownloader)
But installed mods get linked to your game profile and show up in gog-games version too. Or just use one of those dlc unlockers.

How do you orient the PSU on an Antec C8? Y went from a Td500 to that one, and my CPU temps went up to 70c Idle compared to 35 to 40 idle. I think that's the culprit, or I guess I have to go and buy a Frezer cooler 3 or something.

That you're a fucking retard. Not really, but in retrospect I should have told you that right away.
>oh no I can't spend $60 on a case, best I can do is idk maybe 100 chinese yuan; it needs to have good airflow though!
I wouldn't tell you to buy an OLED due to inevitable burn in, or to buy larger/faster drives than you need. I have 3 fucking hard drives and a small SSD in my case, because that's all I need at the moment.
But a case can survive an indefinite number of builds, so spending just a bit more this once won't bankrupt you.

No, people always overstate fears. OLED is a mountainous improvement over its competition and you're not going to have issues, or if you do it'll be after years of you jizzing with happiness at the better color profile.

>>103190086

Do you want good airflow or just non-shit airflow? Honestly the main reason I even had to mention the premium cases is because most airflow-optimized cases under $100 nowadays come with a glass panel for some fucking reason.
But if you just want something that won't deprive your components of fresh air then pretty much any modern design that isn't pants on head retarded will do. I have nothing to recommend, but if all else fails just search "budget pc cases" on google and then look up reviews per model. Still, make sure you're not buying something you'll want to replace later.

Yeah X3D chips are generally better due to the 3D cache they implement, however I'd get the CPU by itself and an Asrock or MSI B650 to go along with it.

7600X3D is exclusive to burgers in microcenter though.

Depends on what you're doing. If you're mainly gaming, go for the 7600X3D or even the 7800X3D, but if you're doing any production stuff on top of that it's probably better to get the non 3D 7700X.

>It seems like it might be better than the 7700X somehow despite being a lower number?

One thing to know about the computer hardware industry is that bigger number does not always equal bigger better.

>>103190226
>7600X3D is exclusive to burgers in microcenter though.
Luckily I am a burger with a microcenter about 40 minutes away. Yeah both of those mobos they list seem to be kinda shit so maybe I just buy the proc and get a seperate mobo and ram. The cpu by itself is 299

Slower drives like NVMe Gen 3 and SATA SSDs typically need DRAM to keep up with the demands of the OS. Faster drives like Gen 4 and 5 NVMe SSDs can keep up with these demands without DRAM. That SN770 should be fine, since it's PCIe Gen 4.

Anyone use CableMod before? What's their reasoning before wanting to know what PSU you are going to use for their cables? Are they specifically using cables from those exact models of PSU's that they have on hand and then resleeving them? Just seems like a weird thing for them to make a big deal out of when they could just use not shit cables.

>>103190737
cables are model specific and will destroy other components if you dont get the correct one for your psu

Yo, is the Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO any good?

>>103190749
That seems impossible given that cables aren't merely form factors but also underwritten by specifications in terms of draw power and so forth. You could swap out a hundred different PSU's with a 24-pin on the exact same motherboard and they'd all let the thing post because the god damn draw is the same. I get that some cables are shit quality, that's a no brainer, but to assert that you couldn't just use good cables because... it'd blow up your build sounds like nonsense.

>>103190792
No one here owns one. Pretty much they're all the same at that price point, but avoid MSI. If you're looking for specifics search for the AM5 spreadsheet on Google. It doesn't contain reviews, just technical information that you can compare and contrast against the other X870E boards including how their lanes are shared (if they are).

Just upgraded from a Meshify S2 and bought a Meshify 2 XL. I am not looking forward to transferring everything. Will post pics on the 18th.

Not really, but if you are still worried, don't get an oled from a company that doesn't provide explicit burn-in warranty. I know samsung does not.

I'm trying to upgrade my 1050Ti to something new, but I'm not looking for the best of the best. This guy has been with me for a while and I feel like it's probably best to look for something to take it's place eventually instead of waiting for it to die on it's own. My CPU is a 5600x Ryzen and I have a 750w gold PSU I think, any recommendations? I'm not really familiar with GPU shit and the wattage always concerns me when trying to consider stuff like this. Are new GPUs using more wattage or are they the same or what exactly? I don't really want to rebuild for liquid coolant or whatever.

>>103190944
make your own with 3d printer and arduino

Is an AIO overkill for the 9800x3d?

>>103191100
not if you wanna overclock it a little, temps are also more stable but air should be enough for most usecases.

>>103191070
4070 super and under

>>103191100
It can get really hot and more cooler isn't a waste. That said, aios aren't good at cooling this CPU since it's hotspots are off-centre. You'll probably do better with an air cooler unless you have TG's am5 offset mounting kit to offset your aio

>>103191100
Not if you want rounded 1% gains for 50 more watts.

>>103191070
they are generally using more wattage. I thought as tech advanced they'd consumes less but no. Recommendations it depends on your money? The lowest I'd go is 200 for an RX 6600 or a used RTX 3060 or RTX 2060 Super

>>103190621
modern tech and money supply don't go hand in hand, it means that old shit often gets more expensive as time goes by which is counter intuitive

>>103191119
Your anus ever gets jealous of your mouth with all the shit that comes out of it?

>>103191070
>Are new GPUs using more wattage
Yes but performance efficiency is also getting better with every generation.
I would not risk getting 4080 or higher with a 750W PSU
At lower end RT gets impractically slow even with all the nvidia trickery, so if you don't need AI you'd be better off with 6800 or 7900GRE depending on budget.

>>103191129
ew what a disgusting anally focused homosexual

>>103191124
they only consume less when they chose TSMC fabs when they go samsung new generation consumes way more and it also melts

>>103190853
No, but it's not that good either. It's not worth 300 bucks. And it's dreaded MSI.

I was planning to get a 7900XTX, but I am poor and didn't manage to save enough money.

Would a 7800XT handle everything max 1080p/ mid 1440p?

>>103191170
What's a good Mobo in the <$300 price range then? It does have a ton of stuff I wanna use eventually and the alternative I'm looking at is the B650E steel legend or pg riptide. Idk if the riptide wifi X870 is a good alternative either.

>>103190844
ASrock's Nova. If you can wait for it to become available again you should. It puts all other boards to shame.

So Nvidia is just a scummy company that lucked itself twice into being the first with novel and good tech, both AI focused in a way, cuda cores and DLSS.

>>103191198
B650e taichi is going for $270 right now
Also b650 steel legend is better than the b650e variant

>tfw every day check to see if theres new news on the 50 series
i know there wont be, but i cant help it

>>103191198
> What's a good Mobo in the <$300 price range then?
Honestly: there is no good one in that price range. But the best one is only 50 bucks more: ASrock Nova. You either wait for it or get some overpriced crap.

Are 13th/14th gen Intel cpus safe now that the instability has been patched through bios updates? I'm on lga1700 and I want to upgrade but I don't want to buy a new motherboard

>>103191240
>Nova
Overpriced garbage with features 99% of people will never use

>>103191275
yeah its safe. but raptorlake is kind of a hard sell since its far less efficient than 12th gen. its not an exaggeration to say that the 13900k and 14900k uses 150W in light loads and 200W if even 30-40% of the cpu is used.

>>103191275
If you NEED intel for the productivity gains, I'd unironically get their newest processors due to the efficiency alone, having to buy a new mobo is shitty though.

>>103191275
yes, goy. just buy our overpriced and inefficient product that might explode when plugging in.

>>103191288
It's got by far the most value of all X870(E) boards. If it was overpriced then all other boards were ridiculous.

>>103190801
The connectors on the PSU itself are not standardized AT ALL, they can wire their connectors in whatever fucking way they please on one side and still have a standard connector on the other.

>>103191215
NVIDIA wasn't as complacent as Intel with regards to investing in future growth markets, and AMD/Radeon were too busy saving themselves.
Jensen was all-in AI during the early/mid-2010s, and NVIDIA's directors tried to stop him from spending so much into the business.

>>103189717
Asus AP201 is about $85 with no gay glass.

>1440p: ASRock PG27QFT2A, Dell G2724D
Are these really the best? Which is better out of them?
The former is on newegg for $142 right now. The latter is pretty much $200. Is it $58 better? What else is there? up to $200

>>103188033
Buying computer parts is a form of gambling.
You're addicted to the computer part industry because you have a gambling addiction.

>>103191488
I gambled in crypto and that's the only reason I'm able to afford a high end PC and live with commodities my usual job doesn't give me.

Keep gambling.

Is there any real difference between the B650 Steel Legend and the X870 Steel Legend? The main difference I'm seeing is the WiFi generation, a couple ports that get routed to the CPU instead of the chipset, and that's really about it.
The 9800X3D is making me look at upgrading from my AM4 machine, and it seems like AMD has almost re-branded their mobos. It looks like the chipsets are identical, and after a BIOS update, I can run the 9800X3D with no problem in either of them, which kinda makes me wonder why the X870 version even exists. Just want to make sure there's nothing actually important that I'm missing like a retard who hasn't built a new PC in its entirety since the Ryzen 2000 series. Pic exclusively for attention

>>103190368
It's a workstation, not a gaming machine. It's half the price if a 4060. I might occasionally play 8 year old minecraft modpacks, and for that it's better than a GPU from 5 years ago.
I just wanted an RTX card because I hear they're the only ones getting their drivers open sourced, and this is for a linux machine. I'm not spending more on my GPU than my CPU.

>>103191534
>the two differences are that the X870 board guarantees a PCI-e 5.0 connection to the primary PCI-e slot and USB 4.0.
>An Extreme E-variant of a B650 board will have the PCI-e 5.0 connection, so the only advantage compared to a B650E board is the standard inclusion of USB 4.0.

PCIe 5.0 slot for the primary slot (x16) might matter if you plan to own a 5090 or 6090 in the future, it's all speculation for now.
4090 doesn't fully saturate the 4.0 x16 slot.

Why are external hard drives still so fucking expensive?

>>103191680
They probably don't make as many anymore. It's all about economies of scale. Double check that, I'm just reasoning from first principles and didn't check the figures.

>>103191665
Awesome, cheers.

>>103191488
nah I dont buy 10 of the same cpu to find a golden sample so theres no gambling

I remember getting a 1tb toshiba one 5 years ago for around 40 bucks and now I can't even find one with those specs at that price.

Do these PCIe to NVME adapters have any caveats? It's a 1x slot.
My newer motherboard + older Ryzen seem to have issues with bifurcation and my Asus Hyper M2 card isn't working. My backup plan is to use two of these instead.

>>103191617
Grats, setting the pump to a constant speed (50~60%) will improve longevity compared to a variable pump speed.

>>103191680
>external
never mind the external-ness of it. a 3.5'' HDD is a 3.5'' HDD. whether it comes in some shitty plastic enclosure and you extract it, or you buy it as is and add an enclosure yourself, is irrelevant.

> so fucking expensive?
they aren't.
for me, in yuroland, prices are
> 14€ per TB for 3.5'' HDD
> 26€ per TB for 2.5'' HDD
> 46€ per TB for 2.5'' SSD (sata)
> 48€ per TB for NVME SSD
these are all the cheapest $/TB example i could find searching in my local eshop aggregator, in practice you'd probably pay a bit more to get better quality/speeds/cell type for the SSDs.
in any case, the relative pricing is obvious. 3.5'' HDD is by far the cheapest option here, nearly 2x as cheap as the next best which is 2.5'' HDD, and 3x cheaper than SSDs.

in the real world, right now you can spend 200-250 $/€ and get 16TB or so, which should suffice for a VERY large movie/tvshow/animu/pr0n collection. i mean, sure, you can easily fill it up if you're going for remuxes all the time, but for a normal(er) person who's happy with the far more common 5-10gb movie rips, 16tb is really quite a lot.

>>103191804
Can this be done in BIOS?

>>103191747
You're gambling that the computer parts will work and the chinese guy at the store will care if it doesnt work

>>103191828
yes its controlled through the bios

I feel so fucking pissed for not picking up one of these Enthoo Pro's for $50 used when one popped up here.

>>103191800
They're generally a lower gen PCIe, so slower, and using less lanes so even slower.
Both are almost a positive for M.2.

Is $45 for a set of five P14's too expensive for what it is?

>>103191811
Damn I never even considered doing that but it's a really good idea and way cheaper than any external hard drive, definetely getting a fat hdd + enclosure. Thanks anon.

the 5090 has 33% more cores alone not counting architectural improvements

>>103191190
It should run everything natively 1440p at max settings without raytracing, except maybe the monkey game and what was that latest unoptimized slop called. With framegen enabled it's going to handle everything with moderate RT. For 1080p I wouldn't even worry.
