Is it easy to hit 6400cl32 on 98x3d? z690eGonna build it next 2 weeks and I'm sick of my fucking 13666k being such a slow 3200cl16 why was I a cheapass I found the one game that's memory starved and it's bloody beam ng and it won't OC for shit reee reee reee
>>103224783Fuvk that's hot you design gonna break 3 day nofap bro don't post that
>>103224784its pure lottery whether you can do it at 1.15v vsoc or need 1.35v (i.e. impossible due to 1.30v hard-limit)
Anons, I dont like this chunk of metal I call my cpu cooler. I want something smaller, not an AOI, a lowprofile cooler. Which ones the best besides noctua in the $50 range. My cpu is a 5700x

I remember some discussion about AMD cards pretty much having a hard FPS limit because of their drivers, is that still the case? I'm considering a 7900XT for 1080p@240Hz.

>>103224979Running my 79xtx at stock that's howNvidia lost it. Got a atx3 1600w PSU just in case AMD udna or Intel's celestial hop onto that gay connector
>>103224988>AMD cards pretty much having a hard FPS limit because of their driverswhat? like 10000fps?
>>103224996>Running my 79xtx at stock that's howI mean, yea, but I really hoped all those rumors about ada gen being a dud were true, and this time nvidia will deliver Maxwell tier again.
>>103224988there is no hard fps limit. you either have vsync on or off.
>>103224988>I'm considering a 7900XT for 1080p@240Hz.should be fine, you will likely be CPU bottlenecked at that though
I wouldn't be surprised if Blackwell FE came with a water cooling radiator.
There were some issues regarding Samsung 990 Pro SSDs, about chewing their lifetime. Is it safe to get or is there a better alternative to it?
>>103225049"cough"
>>103225064Samsungs are overpriced and you shouldn't buy them, but the issues were solved with a firmware update so new ones should be fine.
>>103225064firmware update should fix it
>>103225070we must innovate and dominate
>>103225070I briefly had a R9 295x2, huge waste of money but man it had SOVL.
What would be the best cpu for a fanless pc with noctua nh-p1? Heres the noctua compatibility listhttps://ncc.noctua.at/coolers/NH-P1-cooler-68Im also going to buy a Palit Kalmx 3050 fanless gpu.
>>103225094I'd take APU and limit it to 50w.
>>103225049It better fucking not. FE cards are already sketchy on QC, now throw a water cooler into the mix? Also, that'll be $3200 plus tip.

>>103225094a used 7800X3D for $300
>>103225106I was considering a 5600g,7700,7600 for the cpu. The problem is that i dont really understand cpus. I just want a completely silent pc where i can play some vidya on.
>>103225115
>>103224955>>103224992aight thanks anons
>>103225119>I just want a completely silent pc where i can play some vidya on. it would be fine for games before 2012.
>>103225119>completely silentJust because you're using a passive cooler doesn't mean you can get away with not using case fans. Instead of gimping yourself just build a normal computer and put it in another room if noise bothers you that much.
>bought 7800x3d for $340>sold it for $380t-thanks lisa...
>>103225094>The bestFor what?For gaming, you could probably get away with a 9800X3D and some PBO tuning. Pairing that with a 3050 seems dumb though, unless you love your autism sims, so a 7600/9600X would be more realistic.For work it's probably the 7900 non-X (or the X limited to 88W).That's all assuming you're going full passive - with some case airflow, or even just the A12x25 add-on, your options open up a lot.
>>103225147why did you sell it
I hate my pc. I dont know what the fuck is up with this piece of shit but i always had problems from day 1 with the build. From coil whine to psu whine to my ssd (that has amazing reviews) being a piece of shit with 1/10 of the advertised speed. My built in motherboard sound being a piece of shit aswell. I just want to start over... I spent money buying different fans aswell because i thought my issue with the noise was with the fans and then that didnt fix anything even though i bought the "best" fans. I "tuned" the fans in the bios and i was never satisfied. I just cant stand it any longer. I hate this piece of shit and i shouldnt have dumped my money into trying to troubleshoot it more and more.
>>103224766https://news-zp.ru/society/2024/11/18/407497Only the Nazi white pigs enslave them. Go to hell you Nazi retard subhuman pig
I'm going to buy at the peak, just before prices crash and better alternatives are announcedI can feel it
Also fuck fractal design. Meshify C is a fucking terrible case.
>amd cpus sold out everywhere or at huge markupBros, is it that time of the cycle again
>>103225207Coil whine sure is unfortunate, I only ever experience it with some games that uncap the framerate and it goes into thousands and it was fixed by capping system framerate on nvidia control panel.Psus should be quiet, idk why yours wouldnt be. SSDs typically cant sustain speeds for large file transfers so thats normal.If you want you can buy a 100€ dac/amp with a volume knob and get headphone sound through that.Case fans do need rubber connetors so they dont vibrate the case and cause noise that way, other than that you can prob cap the fan speed with software.
>>103224783I didn't know powercolor catered to trannys.
>>103225126Noctua are wrong.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B31PwSpClk8
>>103225159NTA, but I'd use the monies to buy 9800x3d.
>>103225243>SSDs typically cant sustain speeds for large file transfers so thats normal.Well that sucks but for clarification it was the kingston kc3000. Just terrible speeds from the get go. Everyone else seems to have amazing speeds.>If you want you can buy a 100€ dac/amp with a volume knob and get headphone sound through that.Buying a dac/amp is something everyone should do. It certainly was a improvement over my shitty motherboard built in audio.
>>103224988Seem to be more CPU bottlenecked
>>103225217The GPU right? I'm at the same place, wondering if I should buy one.
>>103225009Oh great so in 2029 we might get a pascal I hope they drop rt shit
>>103225284>The GPU right?Everything. I missed a killer CPU deal, and it feels like the current gen isn't a huge improvement over last, so I'll spend money only to get BTFO next gen.
>>103225159I bought it to use temporarily until the 9800x3d launched. I bought it in summer while the 7800x3d deals were still on and people were waitfagging for the 9700x.
>>103225240We're in a bullrun yes.
>>103225217these are the best amd prices right now. for nvidia just wait.
Anyone know the quality of this SFX PSU?>Chieftec CSN-650CCorsair SF750 Platinum is twice the price
>>103225591That thing screams 'im going to nuke myself just out of warranty and take your motherboard with me'
>>103225591>ChieftecSounds like housefireBruh, if not corsair, try Cooler master or silver stone sfx psus. I couldn't find anything from super flower. If you are poor, don't build sff pc. Go for mATX and save mad bux.
>>103225628>>103225639So is the Cultists tier list wrong? (this will be for a low-end machine)
>>103225591Cultists list has it in Tier B* so I wouldn't trust it with an i9+4080 type build but should be fine for midrange components. On the other hand I would ask why you're considering this? SFF is for moneyed people; if you're on a strict budget just build (m)ATX.*required to have OTP (claimed), to have OPP tested (detier to tier C if failed), be based on ACRF or ZVS primary, DC-DC secondary topology, and have APFC with full VAC input range (100-230V); voltage regulation and ripple should be in spec under 110% overload; 12V ripple below 100mV under 110% overload; should be rated for continuous operation at minimum 40°C ambient
>>103225639also this is for building a spare machine from parts I already own> Ryzen 5 5600X> NCase M1 v6.1> 32 GB DDR4> SSDsJust need a SFX PSU + cheap GPU
>>103225673see >>103225662Those components will pull <300W (assuming a <200W GPU) so it should be okay. Not what I'd put in a main rig but it seems this will be some sort of secondary.
do I need the realktek wifi driver or the mediatek wifi driver? Both?t. never had a motherboard with built in wifi before
im gonna get a 7900XT
>>103225656If its on cultists, you should be fine for the most parts, but what if they tested some golden sample and now the qc has dropped? Bruh, get a good atx 3.1 psu and it should last you over 10 years.
>>1032257255090 is coming out and for 3k it's a bargain for the performance
>>103225740hmmm... i don't even have 3k in my bank account...
>>103225728>Bruh, get a good atx 3.1 psu and it should last you over 10 yearsThis is for a secondary machineAlso there are no ATX 3.1 SFX PSUs here
>>103225704depends on the rev of the board. rev 1.0 is mediatek. rev 1.1 is realtek.
>>103225591how poor are you? pic related should be the minimum in 2024.keep in mind, listed efficiency is never achieved. you gotta do 850*0.9 here
>>103225743you should for the 5090, will be fun the see the new fps peaks with a oc'd 9800x3d. just sell your house bro.
>>103225754Take the cooler master one. 3.0 is close enough. 3.0 is more rigorous that 3.1 in some tests.
>>103225763How dense are you?Keep in mind this is going in NCase M1
The only two 4080 supers that I consider reasonably sized enough to own are the proart and expert. Unfortunately the latter performs like absolute shit so it's really just the proart. With 5th gen raising tdps significantly again... will reasonably sized cards even exist above 70 class?

I would have thought they'd release the 5000 series before tariffs hit
>>103225839Probably going to be one of the best. I wouldn't buy msi for other reasons. Asrock nova or taichi lite would be my first choice.
>>103225926Njudea, shipped the gpus already. They will launch it after the tarrifs hit so they can pocket the difference. The fucking Jews.
>>103225894>Anyone?I have M32U and can say it's great. M32UC can't be that much worse for being VA. there's plenty of reviews online saying how good it is so don't be afraid to buy it. you can't go wrong with Gigabytehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N3vsACX0Rw
What’s a good gaming laptop?Not for me. My brother is adamant about getting one .
>>103225999It would be the first time I buy a VA monitor and I was worried if modern ones still have problems with white text on dark background when you scroll the page, though I heard this one uses a fast VA and it shouldn't be a problem. Anyone with better experience with VAs can correct me
guys.. what pill do I take?the 42" c4 pill or the 32" qdoled pillboth will be near the same price, I am tempted by the more ports and speakers on the tv and it even has audio outs + larger size in general, but 32 is qdoled and higher refresh
>>103226045don't buy va unless you don't mind black smear and more ghosting

does bitcoin rallying again have anything to do with GPUs being barely cheaper than 2 years ago?like 7900xtx being only $100 cheaper from its msrp 2 years ago??

>>103225883>purposefully put 40 series supply in the shitter so nvidia doesn't lose sales over 50 series when it drops>initial supply for the 50 series will probably be shit due to the above for a while>resulting in retarded scalped prices for maybe half a year because it's very likely nvidia didn't make enough supply to begin with
>>103226087i have one. it's a good case overall but it has some annoyances.i have the rgb version and the fan cables are really short so you're forced to chain them together. cable management is a pain, more so if you use the hdd tray on the back.the front buttons/ports are on top which means they collect dust unless you cover them up (i just used tape but you can buy little dummy plugs).the ones with coloured interior look nice but they make it so you're forced to either use one specific colour of lighting or turn rgb lights off because if you use, for example, the rainbow glow the whole thing looks mismatched.

>>1032264374080 super is pretty much equal in raster to the 7900xtx and better in every other way (rt, upscaling, framegen, driver stability, cuda) except vram. Unless you're working with llms or fine tuning stable diffusion Lora get the nigvideo.

Which brand has the best 4070ti super?
>>103226537is $50 that much of a difference? it's not much better, more balanced I guessAsus is alright too.
>>103226531i acutally did see it in stock in etobicoke a couple days ago but honestly the drive + gas both ways would prob be worth ~$50 to me so I was hesitatingbut definitely shoulda gone for it since it's a $120 savings
>>103224766computers are extrinsic positional possessions.Everyone here is always comparing their computers to other people's. Those who have a more powerful or kino set up derive higher /g/ status, which is a seemingly desirable achievement when social market value outside 4chuddies is unobtainable, or simply uninteresting.Buyers remorse sisters? Please just take it easy.Comparison sisters? Please just be happy with what you have.Upgrade sisters? Don't think going from a 4060TI to a 5090 is going to change your life. You'll hedonistically adapt to it and be left feeling lonely.
>>103226547>is $50 that much of a difference?yeah but then thats get me into the decision of why not get a 4080 super for another $50 mpre insteadonly reason Im hesitating on the 4080 super is because windforce 2x model seems kinda unknown and prob shitty
>>103226557my computer is much better than yours
>dell has not given me a discount coupon yetit's fucking over
>>103226503Yes thats why Im heavily considering itI'm only hesitating since it's Gigabyte Windforce which seems to be their budget model, a quick google search hasnt landed me any decent comparisons yetreally dont wanna be stuck with a coilwhining noisy overheating card
>>103225115I fucking wish they were that cheap. Most I've seen used are like 360+
>>103226571Yes, maybe to you, because you likely built yours yourself, and you have a bond with it. I totally understand that.
>>103226578also anyone redpill me how important port selection is, my old monitor I used for a decade+ I did not use anything other than display output to the pc and used the pc audio ports for whatever else and so onI would prefer the pg32ucdm since it has 3,5mm spdif and literally anything you want if you wanna consolecuck it up, even though you have usbs and 3,5mm on controller outputs tooare there any circumstances I am forgetting here or does it not matter?

Just ordered an MSI 4070ti Super shadow for $712 before tax. Putting it in my current setup will bring my total TDP to 464W so I'm wondering if my 600W platinum corsair PSU will handle it, or if it could end up frying my new shit. I do know its not ideal in terms of efficiency however.Also, I opted to trade in(Newegg) my Powercolor red devil 6600xt in for $121. Is that good enough of a deal to follow through with sending it in once i get the new gpu in or should I just keep as a spare/throw it into my home lab?
>>103226678could it be just a smell of ne warm plastic? that happens sometimes, worst case your board shorts and PSU protection kick in before anything actually bad happensI'd plainly run some games and see what happens.

>>103226778Well that's a good sign I guess. Because I think if I did a regular 7600 build after buying mobo and ram I'd be over 400 for a "worse" build even though I don't really play any of the usual titles people mention for x3d

>>103226811Timespy is more like a GPU compute workload not gaymen raster
Bros I have the Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER on the way and I'm looking for a solid 850W psu. The cables are confusing me though, will any modular PSU rated for this have the correct and correct amount of cables?
are chassis fans supposed to suck cool air from the outside and blow it inside, or suck up the hot air and blow it outside?
>>103226881The NVME heatsink? Nope, both were off. Same with my CPU cooler, removed the plastic.
>>103226915It'll need either native 12VHPWR or 3x 8-pin connectors for the adapter. It doesn't technically need all three separately - daisy chaining would be fine for that card - but any decent 850W unit should have one or the other. Since 12VHPWR, in some form or another, doesn't seem to be going away I'd suggest an ATX3.X model.All the other cables - ATX, EPS, SATA, etc. - are fully standardized and any PSU will have them.
>>103226903I tried to do the 25 off 100 coupon but it seems it's dead, never arrived on my phone. Might still be able to get 15 off coupon which I guess is something.But I'm definitely going to ask if I can swap mobo because the asus mobo lacks a feature I really need
>>103226967front/bottom suck inrear/top blow out
>>103226970how long was your 1650s shelved ? Dust can build up in crevices. I'd try the PC without GPU since your 9800x3d has integrated graphics, and then do some benchmarks whilst looking constantly at hwinfo64
so are new Nvidia cards coming out in February or what? I guess they will just wait for CES now.
>>103227004The front top fan should either be intake or not be mounted at all, it's detrimental as an exhaust.

>>103226620migtht just go for the 7900xtx honestly for the raw performance and since im really skeptical on the gigabyte model (so really i'd need to spend cad$300 more for the 4080 super properly), ill wait for raytracing to be more widespread7700x cpu in a lian li a3, I'm actually not sure the asus tuf can fit in this case and i'd rather not return/get another case when i already got the matx mobo bundle so i'll prob just pay extra for the merc310 7900xtx off amazon

Is there any software visualizer for what's connected to a mobo? An old MSI mobo had the feature I'm looking for, accessible only in BIOS, but I'm wondering if there's a real-time runnable one.

>>103227930I mean something that shows an image of the mobo with it showing what ports are currently occupied.
>>103228035I don't know of one, sorry anon. In the worst case you could always read the mobo manual and compare it to the hardware you have installed. Most consumer mobos don't have that many slots/ports so it won't be a big job.

>>103228100>buying amd gpu 1 gen before they move onto ai upscaling hardware
Going to upgrade my build later but for right now just looking to increase my storage. From looking at motherboard and manual, it has a total of two nvme slots.Just wanted to double check that I could insert a SN850X or Samsung 990 Pro there. For right now it's mostly going to be used archiving but would likely be used for games later.
>>103227661The impending tariffs along with not wanting to spend over a grand for a half decent gpu is why I took the plunge and upgraded.In reference to >>103226685 ,pic rel is my what i'm going to be dealing with when the card gets here tomorrow. Should I run the card in with the 600W PSU platinum and see how it holds up or should I just swap in my spare 750W gold(has shitty stiff cables and only semi modular)?
>>103228128yes. sn850x and 990 are both 2280
>>103225084Why is it still 3 slots when it has an aio built-in?
I plan on moving over to AM5 yet choosing ram is more tiresome than I originally assumedI heard 6000mt is the 'sweet spot' yet going to 6400 will slightly increase performance and anything higher than that is slower up until >8000 which requires a bit of tinkering around to get workingShould I just buy a 6000 kit then overclock it to 6400 and adjust the infinity fabric or whatever the fuck it's called? The main issue is there are a bunch of decent 32gb kits yet my use case would benefit from 64gb which has less options

is there a good way to search for specific things on motherboards? shopping on merchant sites seems to be a lost cause as they tend to input the information wrong. Specifically I'm looking for on am5 the cheapest option that will give you 2 full bandwidth x16 cpu slots and 1 x8 slot that can be either chipset or cpu and can even provide as low as x4 bandwidth, I need x8 more for power to the card rather than bandwidth. I don't trust any brand so whatever's the cheapest I'll get.
>>103228110What's wrong with taking that now? we don't really know much about AMD's next gen
>>103228340FSR upscaling is generally considered poorMost people bu nvidia because dlss has best image quality and most games these days launch assuming you'll use upscaling.AMD did ai based upscaling for ps5 pro and next gen gpus will doo too but like nvidia and intel it likely requires specific hardware that makes the software not work on previous gpus.

>>103227902It’s because they (not all schools tho) got rid of phonics in the 00s
>>103228897i want to buy 2x2tb but i cant justify it yet, i can barely fill up 1tb halfway right now
Is the ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi ATX a good mobo, or am I better off with a steel legion?
>>103229045Don't get addicted I got 6 m2s I can't possibly fit over 1 pc
>>103228894I don't think I wanna get 1440p thoualso it's a discussion if it has real 80gbps dp2.1, but it seems soalso, it will cost as much as the asus most likely that is out right nowalso, it will drop jan 2025 or somethingalso more manufacturers will use the same panelbut we will see
>>103224988Same use case as this guy, which combo would work best: 9800X3D + 7700XT or 7800X3D + 7800XT?
>>103228816If I had to guess around 2032-2033 for 60fps but if you absolutely can't stand fps dropping below 144 much sooner maybe 2028 or 2029
>>103228879I hope you enjoy it anon. I could never convince myself to spend so much on a CPU or never would use it to its full potential
>>103228876>even a 5800x3d beats it by alotwhy lie?>so a 9800x3d is light years aheadit also requires DDR5 and a new motherboard. Not worth the money if you ask me.>>103229086>maybe 2028 or 2029I usually keep my CPUs for around 3-4 years,. I can't imagine using the 12700k for another 5 or so.>>103228861>So keep the cpu until you upgrade the gpuseems reasonable
>>103228865>13600k you'll feel it now getting stutters and lows on vryou sure you didn't just get one of the shit intels?, my 12700k is still going strong after 2.5 years of use.
My eve online autismboxing rig is complete. The 3060 is back in my old rig which will be used for 12 afk Ishtars while I drop dreadbombs with this beast.
>>103225816Msi """""slim""""'"
>>103229193Isn't that literally just the ventus with a different shroud and maybe fans. Same heatsink. Slim my anus.
>>103229050it seems to be good board. but it has a lot of usb 2.0 ports
>>103229070yeah it's just it's cheap than getting 4TBbut at the same time again i have like 2x1TB backup portable HDDs i cant fill up anyways regardlessnever thought i'd reach this point after suffering with 2GB PC as a kid having to uninstall aoe2 to play diablo2
>>103229145>why lie?you intentionally skipped past the first part and failed to read
>>103227714>Yes. I often download 30GB movie torrents. And keep some.you know what i should start doing this tooi will get 2x2TB
Do I just pick OS migration when I get to install my new m2? Just need to clone my current SSD to the m2.
>>103228340If it's anything like this gen, people will be recommending you to buy discounted 7900XTX's since the 8800XT whatever will prob be priced at a terrible value, and that would be AFTER the scalping craze for anything new the first couple months
>>103229267Of you have the monitor for it, it's worth it for the stuff you really like.
>>103229288>Do I just pick OS migrationdepends on what you wanna do. I would just clone the current install, then just make the partition bigger.
>>103229173>case average temp 80C
>>103229288>>103229325This Vs Macrium Reflect thoughts?
>>103229324i dont yet but i have been tempted to buy an LG OLED tv while still having 2 secondary LCD 1440p monitors for daily stuffif i could somehow figure out the setup or space for it

>>103225271>Buying a dac/amp is something everyone should doWhat’s the best dac/amp combo for under 100 dollars? My DT770 doesn’t sound as loud as I believe it should when connecting it to my mobo for some reason.
>>103229361Nice. I have a new 27 2K 165hz and enjoy the kinos a lot. Coming from an Asus 23 HD 60hz.
did LG fix the overly aggressive auto dimming long ago? TPC and GSR no longer needed to disable? On C3 and C4 ? pic related
>>103229328Running an aida64 full cpu+gpu test for an hour with temps visible just to make you feel stupidSee you next thread...
>>103229381i was gonna say fioo e10k but it seems to have been phased out, theres prob a better small dac/amp available nowpoint is to just avoid the interference within the mobo, dont bother with the crazy snake oil audiophile stacks that cost over 200 dollars
>>103229381nta but DACs are basically solved. You're just looking at features vs. price and that's if you even want a separate DAC - plenty of good combo units out there (if it takes USB or optical then it has a DAC in it).I'm a speakerphag myself so I don't have a great recc on the headphone side. I have a little FIIO dongle for when I do use headphones but, while it does work well, it's probably not what you want as a dedicated headphone user.
>>103229468im getting sleepy anon
>>103228770wow found a build online where somehow the 7900XTX still somehow fits in the Lian Li A3, despite the GPU being plugged in from the 2nd slot downguess the lian li A3 can fit anything
>>103229606Why the fuck do people do this. Just get a normal case, its not like they are gonna travel with their pcs and it's not like they don't have the space.
>>103229381Because mobos have shit ampsGet a sound blaster x4 avoid the x3
>>103228156I just got a 96gb 32cl 6400 kit from ali for around 250 shippedHaven't gone wrong with their ram OCS better than brand name stuff in my opinion
>>103229299Amds frame gen afm2 or whatever it's called is good enough
>everyone getting a 79xtx all of a sudden Wtf? Everyone was shitting on me for buying one just 3 months ago LOL!now that 5000 and 8000 series confirmed suck who's laughing now. Me because I got it cheap heheh
>>103229736>frame gen
>>103229692this. with normal size case you can decorate it with cute things
>>103229692this is my old "normal" case, it's so bulky i hated it even if it's only 2 times i moved it every year, never mind the tempsthe lian li a3 will have better temps given my experience with my ITX phase on the NR200granted the GPU should ideally be able to access its own air from the side panel mesh so im not sure about this build specifically
>>103229796>>103229796>>103229796
>>103229207I thought slims were trio but smaller, and msi lineup goes suprim > trio > ventus, so is slims are just ventus now? Wtf
>>103225903yes.the 7800X3D uses less power than the 7600
>>103226055I don't know, stop calling them pills, you spastic. Also TVs have horrible input lag.
>>103230239Tvs haven't had bad inputlag for ages now Mr boomer, how old are you
>>103230690Sure, when you turn on game mode. Just be a reasonable human being and get a monitor for monitoring.
>>103230707>Y-y-you can't use the mode for PC use!>Why? Y-y-you just can't Ok!
