Should I change my i7 12700F for a 9800X3D? The only thing I see my CPU working at 100% is on fucking COD, but I have the feeling that's going to happen with any CPU.
Why does every case come with a vertical GPU mounting option nowadays? Nobody does that.

It's not that much more $."Mini" "Micro" "Nano" etc is never a good idea for obvious reasons but if you think you really need it "cute" I will just let you suffer the consequences.Consider a larger NVMe SSD unless you intend to dedicate the 1TB to OS and User Profile only and get another SSD for games, work and storage. 1TB is not much cheaper than 2TB. Other than 2TB vs 4TB.Have you ever used a curved display IRL?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nz7zyWAny recommendations on how to upgrade my build with a 9800x3d? Ideally shoo1440p144hz/4k60hz. Ignore storageWill probably be upgrading from the 3070 some time after 50 series comes out
>>103210812anyone here bought the intel 265k or 285k?
>>103211135>anyone here buy a box full of trash
is a 5700x3d a smart upgrade if i'm already on AM4 or should I bite the bullet and go to am5? I upgrade cpu every 3-4 years usually, currently on a 3600 and want something stronger. The prices on ali are making it hard to resist
>>103210993He has said publicly he wants to pay off his mortgage by the end of the yearAnd we know his consults and intel bundles earn him a lot of cashExpecting neutral content from his is madness
>>103211135Its a high latency PoS. You'd have to pay me to use one of those desuIf you insist on intel, just get a 14900k

>>103211160yes, its basically the fourth fastest in some games and like the twelth in others, its a perfectly cromulent upgrade if you want to skip AM5.>>103211208they are, however get the phantom spirit dual tower cooler.the single tower would be fine with the 9800X3D but its a $500 cpu so spend the extra $16.
>>103211236>its a perfectly cromulent upgrade if you want to skip AM5.But is this smart? Also I only have 16GB of DDR4 RAM and sinking even more money into AM4 to upgrade that seems like a mistake since it's end of line for the platform. And yes, 16GB has been becoming an issue for some things I do so the 32 being standard with DDR5 is appealing now that prices have come down

>>103210812I’m going make kokkoro play with my BBC (Big Black Card) (BlackedWell) (RTX 5090)
>>103211242well the 5700X3D = 9600X/7700Xeven if you go stupid cheap on the motherboard and ram for AM5 its still $250 over the price of a 5700X3D or $200 over a 5700X3D + a 32gb of 3600 CL18https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GyHwPJso the question is, do you want to spend $200 and hold on AM4 or $400+ on AM5 for the same performance, bearing in mind that AM6 will probably be 2028.unless you think there might be something wrong with your motherboard I would stay AM4 but that is the option. of course you can get a better motherboard/ slightly worse cpu on AM5 for about $330 btw if you get a 7500F off Aliexpress. its the 7600 but with an IOD that has the igpu disabled.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gQMRBq>>103211244give it to a niece or nephew
What am I missing out on by buying the cheapest 32GB CL18 3600mhz DDR4 ram from T-Force instead of more expensive sticks with the same specs on paper? I realize the actual modules that the ram uses may not be the same... CPU is 5800x3d.
>>103211429>unless you think there might be something wrong with your motherboard I would stay AM4It's kind of shit vrm wise and only has a single m2 slot which when populated shuts off half the sata ports. I am leaning towards just biting the bullet and going AM5 for the faster memory and newer platform for future upgrades. I could definitely go 7500F but that only shaves a tiny bit off a 7600 and having an igpu can have its uses. An extra 250 isnt going to break the bank
>>103211446nothing

Hello pcbg, I would like to build my first PC. I will also need a monitor but the rest of the peripherals I already have.My budget for both the monitor and PC is $4-5K USD. I live in the USA.Should I plan the build out and start ordering parts during this Black Friday sale coming up or wait until after Christmas maybe in January when the new nvidia series is supposed to release?Which do you think it the better option to get the best deal?
I'm tempted to splurge on a case that's going to last me multiple builds and I'm especially drawn to the Fractal Torrent and Lancool III from what I've looked at so far. It seems like I wouldn't have any reason to complain about airflow with either so it's coming down to other considerations.I like how the Torrent can actually come with solid panels rather than everything being glass since I don't care about faggy RGB, and I like its overall shape and silhouette. A lot of the smaller design choices around the Lancool III give it a premium feel like those hinged panels. What do you guys think? Is there anything else I should consider alongside them?
>>103211924I'm going to buy now, personally. With a budget like that you don't really need to worry about Black Friday deals, and with tariff shit there's probably going to be a run on parts around then so you may as well get what you want while you can.
how many fans can I realistically put connected to each other using only a single motherboard port?
>>103211945Fair enough, thanks anon.
>>103211933I got torrent compact with tinted glass, it's nice. Fractal makes solid cases. I fucked up though, my GPU doesn't fit without removing lower fan. So don't take Compact if you got chunky GPU.Temp wise it's slightly better than my old R5, but I run all fans at ~600RPM and it's somehow quieter.Easy to buld in too, and the fan hub is nice. No clue about Lancool, but from what I remember it's not that good at lower RPM.
>>103211954depends on RPM, calculate it, all fan voltage data is availableI'd use a hub with separate sata power connection though.
>>103211924CPU suit and peripherals get now, everything top tier is out and next gen is in 2 years.But wait for next gen GPUs, the best time to buy is first month after next gen comes out to squirm out every bit of max performance in most amount of time.
>>103211968so if the port is 1A and each fan is 0.3A only 3 then, thanks
Why do I want to build a new PC on lga1700 platform with 12600/12700k instead of extremely popular Ryzen X3D? Does anyone know?
Is it reasonable to upgrade from a 5600x to a 5700x3d?
>>103212046because a nice man from delhi told you it was the best option
>>103212046been there done that 2yrs ago you should build something more obscure>>103212050yes absolutely might as well get some nice ram too cl14 3600 64gb
>>1032117943070 if you upgrade often6700xt if not
>>103212046you do not want X3D, you want 9700x or if it's significantly cheaper 7700x

>>103211794this>>103212060
>>103211794new? 6800used? 68xt-695xtxh
>>103212050Yes especially now that it's still extra cheap on ali.Some anon postet getting it for $140 yesterday.
>>103212069no. here is my logic: X3D is worth it only for high fps targets, which are not achievable in anything but e sports and 9700x can do that anyway.for gaming you want moar cores and high IPC, for quicker loading, to brute force shit optimizations, quicker shader caching, less pop in etc. it is also better for all rounder application because of slightly higher clocks.X3D and 9700x have same IPC and multicore basics.I wouldn't touch current intel because of e-cores, but I guess if you want to tweak something all the time it's the way to go. How the times have changed.
>>103212111WRONG
>>103212046when you feel like spending 2.5x on a grossly overpriced processor
>>103212123i got a z690 and 13600k cheap but their showing their age in cpu bound games
>>103212111wrong
>>103210812Is there a 1000W+ PSU where you can regulate the rpm? I'm sick of hearing a fan spool up and down the entire time.
>>103212111LOLLMAO
>>103212149wow my 13600k is almost at the bottomgetting a 9800x3d next week
>>103212149>baldurs gate30 fps is fine in a dating sim
>>103210812I have scored two 9800X3D's, one for me via Newegg 15m before launch, and one for my friend via Best Buy online this evening, but it was at a store 20m away, so I figure best buy now has in-store stock. No excuse anons! FYI if you are near orange California you have a shot at one. No one else in the friend group needs one now.
>>103212111x3d "fixes" zen 5's io bottleneck so yes you do want x3d
>>103212156dont do it. your getting scammed
>>103212050imo no, if you're on Zen3 you should be looking at getting on AM5 if you want to upgrade.
>>103212178AMD really needs to do a Zen5 refresh next year.
>>103212144Corsair has some fan tuning functionality on their higher end models but that does mean installing iCue bloat. Maybe better to go overkill, wattage-wise, on a hybrid unit so that the fan basically never spins.
>>103210915never played that game but are those npcs always at static locations at certain times or something?

Has anyone’s 12700k been bent by the clamping mechanism of the Z690 boards? I am afraid that I will have to replace my CPU cooler one day and inevitably notice an slight curvature on the CPU’s surface. Though mine has been working fine for the last 3 years.
>>103212254>going through unthinkable hoops to expose the liesthats why the kikes fear the autists

Is the NM790 really okay as an OS drive? It's DRAMless
>>103212273The last time I've memorized an npc's loop(5 second guard patrol back and forths don't count), I was maybe 8 and back in the days of replaying the same singleplayer game endlessly because what else are you going to do?
>>103212279Yes it's a great drive, one of the best.nvme drives use system ram as cache
>>103212279i have a 2tb as my os drive and its only early days (~7 months) but its been flawless and as fast as the reviews tout
>>103210812When do the deals actually start? I'm getting impatient
>>103212294>>103212307Well shit, I guess times have changed. I'm finally moving to nvme for os drive
>>103212279Shit it costs more the same as the 2TB 990 pro I bought a year ago. Why did storage prices jump?
>>103212318Sn850x 2TB is the same price, I think maybe this lexar drive is inflated due to hype

Hey everyone, anon who messed up their build a few days ago.I swapped the MSI for a Gigabyte due to a ton of issues with the former. I also got a new case that has much more clearance for the 420mm rad.Ready for the 5090.
>>103212482That's a 420mm radiator? The lancool iii I have is really cramped in comparison. I'm envious.
Dumb question about OLEDCan I use BFI (through software, not supported by the monitor) on OLED without damaging it?I heard that OLEDs are good for it but I'm not exactly sure.
>>103212599How much of a meme is this? I'd rather not get a liquid cooler if I don't have to
>>103212620BFI via software is pointless, makes the motion feel choppy as it has to literally refresh one black frame it's not like strobing where every single frame is refreshed but during a % of it the backlight is off creating the same effect but without damaging the motion
>>103212643They say that about every CPU that doesn't include a cooler. 120W TDP I know is fine to air cool, the 170W TDP ones I would still try it and see, if it hits 90-95C during your usual workloads then water cool it. If it only does during benchmarks, don't bother, it'll throttle itself at the worst of times.
>>103212669?It's much smoother on RetroArch and MAME than not using it. I can use it on a 360hz OLED and that shit has practically no motion blur.Problem is if there's enough CPU usage it doesn't work all that well, and obviously you get much lower brightness.
>>103212691>?black frame insertion>insertion>frame
>>103212620OLED doesn't need BFI it's already sample and hold technology.
>>103212699I'm just saying it doesn't feel choppy to me, in fact it's the opposite
>>103212715It's a very high refresh rate if you game at 360hz so you might indeed not feel it too much but my point is that in those 360 frames many original game frames are GONE, they do not exist anymore, their part in the feeling of motion is gone also on OLED I don't think it works too well since BFI reduces your perceived or measured brightness and I don't think you have the headroom on OLED.It would feel very bad for movies or video games at 60-120hz range.
>>103212712BFI is a method in software or hardware to reduce the sample and hold blur :P you're confused or uneducated on this topic
>>103212178>"bottleneck"again, it's useless if you play at 60-120fps for 98% of games. but important parts still intact without X3D. >>103212149they are doing some retarded shit again, how did I run this game 144fps 1440p on 7900XT and 7700x? that's why I never trust them and techpowerup, it never lines up with my experience.
>>103212724Also for your original answer, would it hurt IT? You bet, your individual organic leds have to push twice or more the brightness than they would without BFI at all times pretty much.
>>103212712sample and hold is unnatural and causes image retention
>>103212728it's irrelevant at 240hz+>>103212736you can't make it any other way with individual pixels, CRT worked same way.
>>103212745>what about x y zanyway you were wrong before, you realize? Also last time I'm entertaining your random drivels:You cannot play 90% of video games at 240hz and it's not irrelevant, otherwise pro gamers wouldn't use BFI to cope with the blurriness at 240hz even if they have the pixel response time to alleviate it a lot, maybe 500hz we're speaking of pretty similar territory
>>103212763>otherwise pro gamers wouldn't use BFI to cope with the blurriness at 240hzpro gamers are using TN monitors, BFI works on LCD.

>>103212730they set games up to be repeatable and they average the results, you might have gotten a best of 144fps but not an average.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAjQXdwkgEE
>>103212797let's go about it this way, for the duration of 100h game I can run it at 144fps for 87h of it and at 90fps for 5-7h, the rest of the times is spent in menus. Is this testing method relevant to real life expectations for the people making purchase decisions?I'd rather people spent less on hardware for the same experience.
>>103212482Tweaked the 9800x3d yet? Cant wait to have fun with mine
>>103210915This dude gets more pathetic every video.
> Lian Li Lancool 216/IIIAre these still good? I'm looking for an easy to build in PC Case (first time builder), that supports E-ATX and has great airflow, under 150 dollars
>>103212829if they're all tested the same way then yes it is relevant as they're all given the same chance to perform in a mixture of areas.
>>103210915Is he lying about the windows lag too? He says that the 3d chips are horrible at everyday tasks, that you have to wait seconds to open a program on Windows and even browsing a web is a bad experience.
>>103212855Yeah sure. Cases move much slower than other components. They do lack a dust filter but it's sold as an optional addon which I would recommend picking up in either case.
>>103212881>is the guy caught lying compulsively also lying about the lag nobody else has ever reported on
>>103212881>Is he lying about the windows lag too>and even browsing a web is a bad experienceof course he is well, maybe not on his machines, because he does weird shit that makes them unstable, but on a normal person computer ryzen is just as fast and responsive as intel
I regret waiting for Black Friday. There probably won't be any good deals but then again, I'd probably regret not waiting for that 1% chance of saving some money.
>>103212881I've only heard about "windows lag" with those faggy E-core cpus that have scheduler issues
>>103212867and that's my issue with averages, median is a better metric, exactly what I tried to explain.remove outliers from equation.
>>103212724>many original game frames are GONE, they do not exist anymoreyes. replaced by a brief period of black frame (for bfi) or screen going black (strobing)thats the whole reason why our eyes perceive it as smoother motion
>>103212915in the initial 12th gen release windows put all programs in the background on the E-coresi don't know if they still think that's a good idea or if it's been fixed
>>103212745crt didnt work the same way. they were impulse displays aka rolling scanwhere the fuck do you get your misinformation from?
Why did we skip 1800p?
>>103212918it's not replaced at all for strobing, when you strobe you show every original frame but a percentage of it, say 30% is with backlight turned off so the held previous frame is not perceived by you, you just see a series of frames that are perfectly updated but with flicker nowbfi does indeed replace an entire frame in its process, it tells every pixel to turn black for a full refresh again a strobed frame is a full frame with a percentage of it being "black" due to the backlight being offline

>>103212955motion is the same as with sample and hold you just do not perceive the blur anymore but with BFI you perceive something new, choppy motion that's incoherent because game frames are gone and it skips around now

>>103212957I'm not updating from windows 10 until someone tests it with OSRTT/LDAT. Last time someone tested it during a previous version w11 was pathetic, added so much latency in the chain.

anybody got the Gigabyte M27QA?I despise monitors with an external power-supply, but this looks like best bang for buck in my Region with my wanted features please shill it to me or offer another monitor (at least 27" 140hz with KVM capabilities)
>>103210915the asset loading meme was a meme? it's overkeking at this drama every daywait for the response sirs
>>103213239this is extremely petty, but i hate how those gigabyte monitors only have a single "joystick" to control all menus because you have to press and hold it to shut it off. i would very much prefer a simple button.
>>103213251>the asset loading meme was a meme?it's not in general, you would see a difference between modern CPU and a CPU from 10 eyars ago. Trying to find out the difference between same exact IPC values even from opposite brands is retarded though.

I got a 4070S hereWith an undervolt I get around 20W less on load at around the same performance, maybe a slight bit higherIs that good as far as efficiency goes?

hello guys, I currently have a 3440x1440 monitor and I'm looking at some gpu benchmark.Is it a good idea to make the 4k benchmark as a closer reference rather than the normal 1440p resolution? there's not a lot latest of ultrawide benchmark i see
>>103213379yes. UW is difficult to run.
>>103213361I thought it would be obvious? You still get the benefit of lower temps/power consumption, but you might get equal or better performance out of it. In my case it's more around equal.
>>1032133792560x1440=36864003440x1440=49536003840x2160=8294400standard 2K is slightly closer, but realistically you are at the halfway point between the two
>>103213287the difference is the intel memory system can run way faster though and amd bottleneck being the ram every time it goes out side the cachebut idk>>103213310for productivity and casual games I can see it, but any time you would play fps I would want 240 or 480can't decidemaybe we are back to running multiple screens againone tv and one desktop monitor>>103213316just pick up a 480hz 1440p 27"simple as

>>103213706basedI went from using a 24" on desktop with 90ppi to starting using a laptop 140ppi at first everything felt tiny and used 125% scaling but it was fucking retarded with blur and even less space on 1080p so swapped to 100% and now it's fineonly using 125% scaled in browser mostly
>>103213711WarCraft 3, Counter-Strike Source, CS2, Battlefield 3+4+1, Delta Force, sometimes racing games. I've tried. It's just too big, I don't like it.

is there a reason why the corsair 4000D isn't in the OP? I was thinking of getting it for my next build

>>103213932>i'm using intel stock coolerthats normal then. but seriously, spend the $30 on a good cooler like the phantom spirit evo 120 and you'll definitely get better performance since your cpu is throttling at 100c

>>103214096>7700XT>$589what the fuckthe only redeeming quality of that card is that it costs $350otherwise get 6800 instead
>>103214038Buy the MSI one. It's literally the same panel. The only differences are that it doesn't come with G-Sync, and it uses a different proprietary operating system that controls the features and so forth. MSI's is apparently more restrictive in that they try to retard proof the monitor from getting burn in, but Asus is considerably more lax in your ability to turn stuff off and seems to compensate for this by using the built-in motion sensor that I think you can't turn off.
>>103214090Nope, I looked far and wide for this, there's nothing that converts between the NVME/PCIe protocol and SATA.
>>103214090What you can do is buy a PCIe card that adds 2 NVME m.2 slots. But no way to use SATA connectors with NVME drives, only m.2 SATA drives which is a totally different thing in the same form factor.
How many parts can you upgrade/swap in a pc before it becomes a new pc? At what point are you playing on a complete different pc?
>>103214090Oh and this is really stupid but you can also use an external USB NVME enclosure, and an internal USB to external USB port adapter, then put it in your case. Why nobody ever just fucking made a protocol adapter to use the internal SATA ports, I do not know.
>>103214226That's a purely philosophical question with no right answer.

>>103214269This. Even if you keep every other part the same, your motherboard treats all those other parts as new. Further, it requires you to pretty much disassemble your entire build and then reassemble it to replace the motherboard. No other part requires this or has the sort of impact/time involvement as the motherboard. If you didn't change the RAM? Well, maybe your new motherboard doesn't like that RAM and you have issues with hitting the same timings and speed. Same for the CPU. Blah, blah, blah.
>>103213956Look at 5000D instead if you insist on corsair. I seem to remember 4000D having clearance issues with some of the 4000 series gpus
>>103214226when you need a new platform
>>103214226look up The ship of Theseus>>103214269yeah thats how Microsoft sees it for licensing purposes but if you take a build, change nothing but the motherboard for an identical motherboard is that the same PC?>>103214272list it on marketplace but it might be more trouble than its worth.
>>103214305I had to take out my mobo to unscrew my top fan. It has long screws that go in from the bottom. I made it an intake fan so I have positive pressure.
>>103214277idle looks alright, the 9700f and 9th gen in general are just hot cpus. intel put solder tim on that line of cpus but left the die too thick (they later fixed it on 10th gen) which made them really bad at passing heat to the cooler.
>>103214346i see, thank you very much
>>103214215>What you can do is buy a PCIe card that adds 2 NVME m.2 slots.Those are tricky, most have 1 m.2 m key for nvme and 1 b key (or was it a or e I forgot) for sata plus an external sata input. Basically it adds 1 nvme m.2 slot and converts one sata to m.2 sata.There are bifurcation cards but those require a full x16 lane, and my motherboard only supports x8x4x4. So that means 3 NVME slots, and an inability to use any videocards.There's a chink x8x4x4 adapter that gives two x4 nvme slots and a x8 PCIE low height card, but that leaves you with exactly two options for videocards which are faster than even AMD onboard graphics.>>103214233Yeah, I figured this was my only choice, my mobo only has two 10G USB ports (one USB-A and one USB-C). But I guess any external enclosures would still be backwards compatible with 5G USB ports.

>>103214025>>103214077>>103214346i kept looking for fixes and found on reddit some advice that said to disable intel's turbo boost. i did that, and now it's totally fixed. idle temperatures are lower, pc is quieter, and even when gaming the temperatures get to 70° max. i don't know what turbo boost is, but it totally isn't worth it. my fps in game are basically the same, but the temperatures dropped -30°.
dont know if this is the right place to ask but are there any good modern monitors in something like 4:3 aspect ratioaccurate color is the most important for me along with a higher resolution but thats secondaryprice is not an issueor am i just fucked and have to get a normal wide monitor

>>103214543that's like an hour's wagesfuck yeah
>>103214713the last few mhz take up a disproportionate amount of total power (think final 0.3ghz for 30-40% of total power) because power scales exponentially with operating voltage

>>103214713What do you mean so much power
>>103214791thats because you're hitting the frame cap of 60in games that are heavy or if you have unlocked fps where cpu performance is the bottleneck, you'd see a 10-30% reduction in performance from the reduced clockspeed

>>10321315432"4k240hz with 480hz 1080 dualmode makes more sense if you think about it logically. When you use 480hz, you're going to be turning down your graphics quality anyway, so 1920x1080 is fine.

I see that my micro center has the 9800x3d. I was planning on waiting for a good 9700x deal.I don't really game anymore and would rather use Photoshop or Lightroom.Should I bite the bullet with the 9800x3d?
>>103214798makes sense on ultrawides but the most tempting thing is the price
>>103215031Yes. Get 9800x3d and never worry again.
>>103214874the negative part here is I hear the dual mode thing can be buggy and jankyand 1080p on 32" is not that goodand obviously you are losing 1440p480 which would be the potential oneand while we are at it dualmode vs non dualmode 4k now we are comparing woled vs qdoled, the newest qdoled is probably the best in terms of clarity and its glossy too plus hdr plus colorshard choicesthere are also no good sales on the dual mode ones either rn
>sitting on the 7800X3D>everyone is having fun tinkering with their 9800X3D'snot like this...
>>1032151437800x3d is pretty good but its just boring from a tinkering standpoint since its factory locked
>>103215143DUUUDE LMFAOOOOO
>>103215143>fun>tinkering
>>103213040Non K cpus are trash
>>103215143I got a 7900. Not X just the basic one. It's very boring but it is low TDP and more cores for me to use for multi-core stuff like I dunno running make -J12 or something, opening a lot of tabs in Firefox maybe. Whatever I do at the computer that isn't games. And all my games are on emulator I don't think they even use GPU? Like SNES and N64.
>>103215143well don't sit on a CPU then, just use it
>>103215318you can run n64 on a chromecastsell your pc and get a core 2 duo for $5
>>103215517I think it's mostly the web browser that drives my need for more memory and CPU cores. Modern internet is super bloated.
my hydro ti pro is getting delivered today, please pray for me that it's actually the updated 3.1 model and not the old 3.0 one
What is the best 1080p monitor under £200?For:>gaming>colour>low min brightness>low power consumptionIn return:
>>103215992you can barely get wide color gamuts on the 1080p ones with high hzidk
>>103215992theres like 10 1080p monitors listed in ops post
>>103215992you're paying too much for a legacy resolution screen
>>103216126>>103216042>>103216026well thanks anyway boys. And yeah, the ones in the OP weren't convincing
>>103214384I don't think 7600x3d is worth it for 300. If it was 7800x3d sure but right now if you're not trying to spend 9800x3d money I think 7500F/7600 is the only move that makes sense and you can upgrade down the road
