I plan on moving over to AM5 yet choosing ram is more tiresome than I originally assumed

I 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 working

Should 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

Btw there is 1 decent 64gb kit yet with XMP only. Would configuring stuff manually be tiresome? I do not intend to run memtest for 2 days

>>103233951
if you want something that just works get 6000
if you want to tinker for 2% gains get 6400

Presumably you're making some money from this PC then so just get 6000C30. The upside from going higher isn't worth the potential instability. A bad RAM OC can, among other things, silently corrupt files i.e. your capital.

Good news my melanated friend; all of the CPUs mentioned so far have ≥8 cores.

>the single core benchmark i seen...
Actual gaming benchmarks generally show either parity or a small regression. It's not enough to dismiss the product alone but it is when a demonstrably superior model is significantly cheaper.
Don't get me wrong - Arrow lake is /fine/ in isolation. It works, it's more efficient for the ~same performance, and it genuinely does do better in some workloads. It's just not worth the money for a streaming rig.

>>103233951
what is your use case? i went with a 64gb 6000 kit that was on my mobo qvl because i use the thing for work.

265 will be fine for your needs
of course a 9800x3d would be better but it cost a lot more

>>103234238
i dont trust techpowerup or toms hardware, i haven’t looked at their reviews since high school, none of the popular review sites either, they get paid to promote products and i cant trust that. the benchmark i look at is passmark, specifically the single thread benchmark chart

is 6000mt in ddr5 the equivalent of the 3200mt in ddr4?
by that i mean is just plug and play and no tinkering?

14900k and 9950x are much better options than that

>>103234290
14900K is a downgrade compared to the brew Intel lineup

>>103234254
Maybe you'd have a point if there was some disagreement among reviewers but "slight downgrade to parity" is basically unanimous. Passmark is a good synthetic but it's not a gaming workload. Gaming is heavily dependent on IO latency where Arrow Lake suffered a notable regression. The higher throughput, which Passmark measures, is almost, but not quite, enough to compensate.
Again, I'll reiterate that these CPUs are fine. Feel free to buy one if you've got a flexible budget and don't need to minmax. Just don't expect us to have much first hand experience.

Why, though?
It doesn't do any better than the 9700x for gaming, and recording/streaming is better done via GPU encoding.

>Data corruption is not really an issue since everything gets copied over to my network anyway
That's why it's an issue. Unstable memory can corrupt files in the background, for example when your SSD is TRIMed, which then get copied to your network storage.
Now to be fair that is almost a worst case scenario (actual worst-case would be system corruption) so you shouldn't necessarily dismiss it out of hand. It's just that the payoff, i.e. <10% performance gain, isn't worth the potential loss. If you've really got enough work coming in where that gain is noticeably profitable then you might want to go for HEDT.

so this is a shill right? nobody is actually this stupid right?

>>103234353
i think the marginal performance increase with arrow lake is because of the ai functionality, like groundwork or foundation for it then the next gen after will be much better compared to previous gen to gen performance gains

>>103234279

>>103233951
There are plenty of good 6000cl30-36-36 64gb kits available
6400 is a huge gamble since a lot of am5 CPUs max out at 6200

>>103234270
I have no need for it at all, I'd be buying it purely on things I MIGHT do, like video editing, blender stuff, maybe monero mining, etc. I fucking love virtualization, but if I upgrade then I can repurpose my old build into a server, and I probably won't make use of the 9950x's full potential. But with fear of price hikes, I might actually trick myself into buying it.

Those Taiwanese ram companies haven't bothered making a good kit for Ryzen. There aren't even any expo 6000cl30 2x48gb kits available other than the intel xmp ones made by Corsair

my guess is that the RX7650GRE is meant to be AMDs budget card under $180 now that Navi 23 is finally sold and the RX8600 is probably going to be RX6700XT tier and likely $250-ish

>>103234653
why do you expect vastly more performance than what Nvidia got for the same die size on the same node?
the 8600 will be around 150mm2 and as mentioned, perform like the 6700XT. For reference the 4060 is 160mm2 and performs like the 2080.
the 5060 is probably going to be around $350 on 180mm2 and perform like the 3070

When the fuck was it that you genuinely couldn't even find a product due to artificial scarcity even? Even njudea launches arent usually this bad.

What happens when hardware reaches the limits of the typical North American home?

AIO vs. air cool?

I had an NZXT Kraken on my last rig and it was supremely aesthetic with that sort of infinity effect but I remember it being quite whiny at that annoyingly high decible with the pump noise. Great temps though.

From what I read air coolers can reach just about the same temps while being more quiet since the only noise is from large fans, who are whisper quiet at low RPM. i dont think most people bother with overclocking anymore anyway...

Is there much of a difference?

I currently don't have a functioning PC and am looking to build a new system with about $500 (minus GPU, I'll deal with that later). Should I go for Alder Lake, Zen 4, or something else? I considered Zen 3 but concluded that it's probably a rather sub-optimal decision at this point.

>>103236860
>I considered Zen 3 but concluded that it's probably a rather sub-optimal decision at this point.
I wonder how you could come to that conclusion. Zen3 CPUs hold up well.

>>103236313
QD-OLED always, it's just way more fit as a PC monitor.
If raised blacks and light reflections are issues to you, don't buy OLED altogether. It's simply not made to be used in brighter rooms if you care at all about HDR.

>>103236879

>>103236915
the Zen3 top end were outrageously performant for their time. their price/performance in the here and now is very tough to beat. buying a 5800x3d or 5900x is a great idea if you need a decent PC for dirt cheap. especially because you can get B550 motherboards for as low as 50 buckaroos, max speed DDR4 RAM and gen3 nvme drives similarly being thrown out for almost nothing, etc. if you have no PC right now and depend on getting great value, buying into AM5 or God forbid a recent Intel platform is not wise in my opinion.

Should I get a 4k monitor or 1440p?
And is the resolution drop down noticeable if I go with 4k?

>publicly states he failed the litmus test
>look goys, I'm officially retarded

>>103237081
My advice is to test both resolutions before making a decision. Some of us are more sensitive to aliasing and pixel density than others. If you want to future proof and have the budget, then 4k is an obvious choice. But by the time 4k gaming, whether upscaled or native, is actually something the average pleb will engage in, 4k panels will be far cheaper than right now. Plus if you want a 4k OLED you're gonna pay shittons.

>>103235460
>>103235479
Shit anons I was gonna go Aorus Elite AX b650 but maybe I should consider this x870 pro rs, it's not that much more

>>103237138
I'm considering a 4k OLED but the smallest one I see is 32 inches and I dunno if I really want a monitor that big. I've been pretty content with smaller ones
I heard there's supposed to be 27 inch models coming out soon but I haven't seen anything about it so I dunno if I want to bite the bullet and hope for a decent black friday deal or just wait

>>103237144
do itttttt
more people that buy it the better, we can all collectively bitch at ASRock to give BIOS updates for every new feature

>>103237237
Consider my advice. Experience both resolutions first. Maybe you'll be like me and fall in love with the crispness of 4k monitors (been using a Dell P2715Q for years now). Maybe you won't care for it and can save some money in the mid term. The 5070 is probably gonna be more comfortable with 1440p anyway.

>>103236313
Another decisive C series victory.

>>103237081
Depends, I used to find the difference in picture quality pretty obvious but ever since DLSS became a thing I haven't really cared that much.
I liked 4k for how much it helped with aliasing, but DLAA solved the issue. If your games benefit at all from running DLSS, the difference between 1440p and 4k isn't that crazy either.

In the end it's a matter of whether you prioritize FPS with high refresh rate monitors or picture quality. I find I care a lot more about the former so I went with 1440p for my primary display and I don't regret it.

>>103237237
Wasteful. If you're not going for a huge screen, go 1440p @ 27". It's prime. You can either pay out the ass if you really really want to, or you can get a Dell G2724D and get something pretty cheap while still being really fucking good. 1440p, 165hz, 10-bit VESA certified HDR (400), and DP1.4 and HDMI 2.1 so you can actually use all the features provided.

If you're looking for a 240hz QD-OLED, just pick the cheapest one available to you as they all use the same panel.
There's not much point making recommendations about OLED with how similar they all are. As long as you get a 16/9 QD-OLED at the resolution you want it's fine.

>>103237946
the ones without those bulky heatsinks at the top and top left overheat their VRMs and end up bottlenecking the CPU

so basically all the budget mobos that dont have an integrated IO shield will only be good for the less power hungry CPU, some mobos also straight up cant power past 100w on the CPU

Steve stole it for his personal computer

I've read that AIO's aren't as good as air coolers for the current AMD CPU's because the hot spot is off-center. I saw someone recommend buying an off-center mount for this, but then I read up on the few ones I could find and pretty much everyone who talked about them anecdotally said they actually made their AIO perform significantly worse than just center mounting it. This makes me feel like it's a nothing burger and the solutions are snake oil. I was wondering if someone knew of a good review that went over this specific problem and testing off-center mounts to see the results.

>>103238827
Get a $35 phantom spirit and try it out for a week then compare with your AIO

>>103238844
You aren't wrong, but I was hoping that maybe someone who actually does in-depth tests had already covered this, particularly utilizing the off-center mount with an AIO. I can't find much besides just people leaving reviews on the mounts saying they are seeing 8-10c temp increases after switching to off-center.

If you mean partitions then you can just create them. Right click on the grey area, choose "New" and in the new window set size, file system, etc, it's quite straightforward. Nothing changes automatically until you click "Apply all operations" in the main window, so you can fuck around.

Motherboards often have intrusion detection pins, if enabled and triggered it can lock down boot and/or storage and prompt for password.

If you wanted to wipe the hdd, why do you care about partitions? Actually being able to find them after the wipe would be a bigger issue, meaning that your wipe is not working.

I know this is barely /g/ related but so far PSSR seems to be a flop, right?
It only looked good in Ratchet & Clank and that's because it has an extremely high input resolution (basically Ultra Quality) and the Sony devs hand-tuned it to perfection.

But as soon as PSSR was integrated into other games with the same low input resolutions other upscalers have to work with, it immediately ran into such a shit-ton of issues that it doesn't even seem reliably better than FSR2. Jedi Survivor looks worse with PSSR due to visual issues, same with Alan Wake, same with Silent Hill.

Maybe it'll get better with time but it's not a good first look for PSSR.

owen made a video about this. there's a case of old pssr that looks like crap and new pssr that looks fine and it's really up to the devs what version of it the game uses if they even bother updating it later. it's not like on pc where you can just google latest dlss/fsr version and just drop the file in to the game folder... on console I think this can't be done

>>103239624
Not the best Mobo and Ram.
Ask if you can swap them out for something better like CL30 ram and a b650e Steel Legend. Tell them you don't mind any price adjustments.
Do Not take the install service. Do it yourself.

>>103239651
Whats wrong with it? I forgot to pist price ($400)

>>103239655
>It's already is
Cringe.

>>103239669
I would never pay them to do that stuff

Do microcenters really let you swap things like that and adjust prices? Btw they have a different mobo bundle for $50 more(same ram):
ASUS B650-A ROG Strix wifi
If I want to bargain, should I still reserve it online? I can also wait for BF too.

I guess i should ask of theres a mobo youd recommend I try to swap for

I'm on a 3700x and will soon upgrade to a 9800x3d, and I have a gen 1 NH-D15.
I read somewhere noctua was giving out free adapters for the new socket, is that true?

>>103239711
the mobo is not the problem, the TUF one gives you everything you'd need for gaming, you're paying extra for the more expensive mobo but what are you getting? both are still pcie 4.0 for the GPU so you're not even futureproofing

>>103234480
Should've listen to your mama, if you were smart you would only need one job to pay for your pc parts.

>>103239669
>>103239711
Oh you did recommend a mobo already
>>103239764
So one with pcie 5.0 would be the main feature to look for

Do you guys recommend the cooler master gp27u?

assuming the same exact price would you go 990 pro or sn850x? If price difference are they close enough to just buy the cheaper?

>>103239741
Yes, fill out their form if you have the receipts of your d15. I've got a lga1700 from them a while back, I only had to pay some import tax because my cunt sucks dicks.

>>103239764
The cpu itself costs $300 supposedly, so for $100 you get a shitty mobo and ram. Is that still a good deal, or wait for bf and something shippable? Ill still try to get them to swap parts and price adjust.

>>103239843
I assume an amazon digital receipt works as well, right? That's great, thanks.

>>103239843
Why not just get a new peerless assassin/phantom spirit at that point?

Can a B660M handle a 13900ks, I'm not planning to overclock it. Cousin is getting rid of his pc and he gave me the cpu

>>103239871
They are fine.
>>103239872
The d15 is fine, besides being overpriced, no reason to buy something new if the old one still works perfectly.
I wouldn't buy another noctua cooler thought.

>>103239833
First off, I wouldn't buy either one for a pure gaming rig. There's almost always something cheaper that does just as well.
If the PC is for work then check out the TomsHardware reviews of each. I forget which way it goes but one is slightly better at sustained writes while the other has better burst performance. That would decide it based on your specific workflow. Super marginal but you asked to debate angels on a pin so here we are.
Finally, per the OP, there's some issue with running a 990Pro on Linux. Cuts the speed significantly so prefer the 850X if you work on Linux.

>>103239741
>>103239843
AM5 does not require new adapter, it's the same holes as AM4.
Or do they give offset mod for free?

Also I still do not consider upgrading from AM4 to AM5 worth the price vs getting AM4 X3D and justwaiting.

>>103239811
buggy miniled, or something I read
regardless, buy an oled instead, very close in price
and in my region its even more than oleds

>>103239960
Thanks for that, I run mostly Linux, so I'll avoid the 990pro.

>>103233657
Looking at fractal north xl case
Am I making things up or has the price of them gone up?

>>103239970
They have it, but I think you have to buy it. If I recall correctly, the free stuff is just the basic mount for intel or amd.

I'm a eurocuck looking for an AM5 mobo, what's the price range I can expect?
Right now I'm eyeing an MSI Tomahawk at eur 323, but mostly just because it has a buttload of rear usb ports.

>>103240030
Wait for januare-febriary if you can, there's going to be B840 and B850 release.

>>103239973
It's cheaper than OLEDs on mine, I was also looking at the pg32uqr as it's almost the same price as the gp27u

Im not seeing wtf ATX has over mATX,

For instance ASRock taichi x870 vs B650 for AM5 its just Wifi 7 vs 6, 1 less USB4 port, I think 1 fewer PCI slot (what the fuck do you need a second one for anyway?), and I cant really see what else.
As far as I can see ATX can fit more drives, but why not just get a NAS that draws less power than keeping your PC on all day?

Im Debating between the Fractal North and Lian Li Dan case (muh wood), but even though the north is more aesthetic, I can barely justify the ATX form factor because I just don't need the extra space...

>>103240118
what region
literally look up all current oled monitors and compare
cant be much different

>>103240097
Sure, it just means sitting on my current system a while longer with an unopened cpu.

I'm waiting for a dell discount code to be active and it will reduce price 5-20% more not sure how much it is too

>>103237591
nah I got a feeling new games are going to need better hardware, either waitfag for the game BEFORE you buy the PC, or be disappointed.
also I used to shill the 12100f, which has 80% of the performance of a 7600 in gaming for half the price (i own it and it's good for basically everything except productivity, you get what you pay for), but it might actually be better to get a 9800x3d at msrp price (+ you need to bios update for most mobo's), since even running games at 1080p lowest settings above 60fps is getting difficult (like mohun wilds). And I care a lot more about FPS than quality.
However game developers are still making games that are trying to target the largest audience, and that audience are poorfags with a 3060 / 1650 which are the most popular GPU's on steam, so depending on the games you want to play, it's possible that you don't even need a new PC (tell us your specs, we will tell you what improvement you will expect, it's possible you have a gtx 1060, a 4060 would easily give you 2-3x more fps, it's possible you have a ryzen 3600, a 7500f is only 40% faster at best, same core count).
Also note I don't think 7900xtx is bad with VR (assuming you would ever be interested) but I still think there probably are still issues because nobody actually buys AMD (75% of users on steam use nvidia) because the 7900 XTX tricks people into thinking it's a 4090, when in reality it's closer to a 4080 super (the 4080s is like 5% faster), and a 7900 XT is a 4070 super (the 7900 XT is like 5% faster). So with AMD you get what you pay for, it's not actually a cheaper GPU. Also nobody cares about vram except for AI coomers (amd has a lot of issues with AI), and people who turn on raytracing ultra settings (you are never going to ray trace using AMD).

brazil, there's barely any good options here

hello gamers.
i kind of want a laptop so i can game in comfy places and watch movies and stuff too without having to sit at my desk. i know it's not a pc, but im not sure what other general to ask.
as far as games, the only games im looking to play on a laptop would be like 2d indies, low poly/cartoony 3ds, VN, etc. do any of you have recommendations for any mid-tier spec laptops, reasonably sized? my priority honestly is just a nice screen color and at least 1 or 2tb internal storage. or if not, point me somewhere i could ask this and get a good answer. thanks.

>>103236261
I'd switch to a Phantom Spirit Evo for the cooler. Same / better performance for like 30-35$ less. Although maybe prices are different in EU. I would also wait for an Asrock x870e Nova if you're going to spend $350+ on a mobo. Ram looks like shit, go CL30 6000mhz.

>>103240254
>Also nobody cares about vram except for AI coomers
MH Wilds hits 10gb vram and this is before the hi res texture DLC they have planned

Just get any laptop with a 4060 (a 4070 laptop should cost the same, but it's not faster, it's the exact same GPU but overclocked). Note the 4060 is overpowered for your use case, but I assume you want to run unoptimized indie shit
good color screen is going to put you into the $2000 laptop section, you just need to deal with the same old IPS screen every laptop has (avoid VA).
If you really care about the screen, and you are open to having a PC, but you just REALLY don't want to build it, I got you something:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnnc3W9vExc
Then for a "nice" screen, you can get a IPS/VA mini-led which helps with higher contrast in the dark (BUT it's a curse, if you have OCD over the zone artifacting you might disable the local dimming while you are not gaming or watching film. But at the same time this is half the cost of OLED and you get rid of the most annoying parts of basic IPS backlights (when your whole screen is dark, like in a horror/space/etc you will easily notice the backlight glowing). Options:
Q27G3XMN (VA, 300 zones, but it's one of the better than average VA's, and VA is good for contrast, note VRR flickering is when your fps drops, and the review runs 10fps->180fps->10fps to cause to most flickering, not realistic, miniled artifacts are more noticable)
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/q27g3xmn
xiaomi g pro 27 (it is IPS, 1000 zones, note more zones != to better, what matter is if the zones are noticeable based on the algorithm, who knows?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icYY_z3VQEk
OP has good suggestions for 1080p monitors.
Personally, you could probably get a macbook, just run a windows VM and deal with latency (maybe emulators work better).
>>103240340
10gb vram fits on a 4070, and I'm not a graphics autist, I'm a FPS autist, I lower my settings so I can get the most FPS possible. The second you lower the settings the vram drops down to whatever the min req GPU supports.

>>103240531
I think I'll want a beefy mobo with the 9800x3d anyway, since it supposedly overclocks really well.
I just wish I didn't have to drop 500 on it.

>>103240539
*oh yea, you don't need to buy the e-gpu, that makes NO sense, just build a PC you save yourself like $100 and you get better hardware.
The EGPU is there as an upgrade, so if you can't run a game, just spend the $70 on the dock+cable, then buy a used GPU off facebook marketplace for $80 (1660 super /TI works well), and you will get 4x more FPS (8x more with a 4060, but that's $300).
Like the miniPC should be able to run VN's perfectly well.
