There has to be a better/faster way to be notified of deliveries. It's insane how long it takes. I had a package dropped off at 4:14, and was signed up for text alerts from UPS. I didn't get the alert until 4:32. And I just now received the email alert from the merchant. The only reason I know the exact time is because that's what it says on the delivery, and I happened to answer the door when the guy dropped it off. I haaaaate the idea of my several hundred/potentially a few thousand dollar packages just sitting outside for even a few minutes these days. I am considering renting a PO Box specifically for the 5090 when it drops in January. >inb4 get a RingNo, fuck you. I know all that information goes straight into their databases. They don't get to know when I come and go.
>>103240752I want to build but there's no mobo with backside power connector
Hello frens. How's this build looking for a brand new pc (no previous one) just to play some BG3, TWWarhammer and Space Marine II at 1440, and hopefully to last for a bit. Budget is about 1.3k € (spanish eurocuck)https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/xgQGfd

Can anyone explain to a retard how do I setup a fan curve that won't fry my gpu but doesn't sound like a fucking jet engine? Got myself 6800xt and so far it's great but in some games (CP2077 or some UE5 shit) it just starts taking off.
>>103240723*smooch*
>>103240778You buy an overbuilt 40 series card with fuckhuege heatsink+ cooler and never have to worry about it hitting 70c even when pulling 300w, my card at full load sits at 65c at 60% fan speed
x870e nova or msi carbon? both same price
>>103240754>They don't get to know when I come and go.and yet you keep your phone with you at all time?interesting.
>>103240794Nova. This isn't even a question.
>>103240778new or used? if its used it needs a repaste, preferably with ptm7950 or kyrosheet.my sapphire pulse never went above 38% fanspeed.
>>103240778how is your airflow in the case looking?
>>103240752>265Knobody is buying that shit.
>>103240853He asked the same thing yesterday and was told the same thing. I don't think he's being sincere.
>>103240778find out how hot your GPU gets during cyberslop or ue5. then test how low you can go with the max fan speed at that temperature before it starts rising even more. from there you adjust the max fan speed up to a noise level you can live with. my GPU stays well below 75 on about 60% fan speed which is pretty quiet.obviously make sure your GPU gets the airflow it needs. bottom intakes work wonders if they have enough pressure and breathing room.
>>103240818why exactly?
>>103240898Google 'AM5 Motherboard Spreadsheet'. Open the document, click on the X870E tab and compare the lane-sharing, bifurcation, and other notes sections between the two. I can't link it here because 4chan thinks it's spam, but it should become extremely obvious once you look at the Nova's notes and then look at the Carbon's notes.
>>103240774splurge a bit more on gpu, the build should usually be more lopsided towards gpu nowadayswith that gpu you will never hit 180hz anyways, so either downscale with monitor and go higher on gpu or find some more money to pour into gpustick with amd of course, and keep in mind new gpus are coming so think about your time horizon and how that's going to affect the prices
Is there anything wrong with this build (aside cancerous prices)? How important is it to choose RAM from the recommended mobo list?
>>103240723Should I be buying a high end cooling solution if I pony up for the 9900x/9950x?
>>1032408523 intake fans on front and 2 out on the top/back. To be fair, my case has a pretty bad intake.
Waiting on Dell to register mail so one can acquire discount code, can take up to 72h for it to work, still not working. 48h has passed now. We wait.
>>103240774Everything looks fine for the most part imo. The only hangup is probably the RX 7600XT, since the performance increase over the regular RX 7600 is not worth the price increase. The only thing the XT has going for it is the increased amount of VRAM.That build should be at least competent at 1440p, but I agree with >>103240929 , if you can spend a bit more on the GPU.

>>103240778Put your case under the table like an adult person
>>103240778undervolting my 1660 ti worked really well with getting a bit higher FPS while being silent, I used to only use a frame limiter and it didn't work very well.I also should try redoing the paste, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
>>103241266i wouldn’t know how to upgrade it though. they have trade in deals to

Never did end up filling all of the hard drive bays with anime porn, only 3 and 2 SDD.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBhmn21ylkcIs one fan in the front and one in the back really still enough when I get a 4070tiS and 5700x3d?Kinda want a smaller case without pointless disk drive bays but everything I see I don't see any HDD bays?
Just got this for $60 was it a good deal? It went up to $80 the right after i bought it for whatever reason
I have a Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMesays online it has 2,500MB/s and 1,500MB/sIs it actually worth upgrading the m.2 to Kingston KC3000 that does 7k read/6k write? Is it even noticeable unless you are copying huge files which almost never happens?
>>103241819>speedNo. High loading speeds are a meme right now.>512gbYes, 1tb+ is already today's standard.
>>103240723>run rx560>need to upgrade cause games run like trash>most games are trash>refuse fake framesIs it over for me now that AMD has given up?
>>103241797It's a pretty good purchase. I'd buy one if I could.

>Use CaseVidya and general use>Resolution1440p>Currency/CountryAustraliaCurrent build is an RTX 2080 + i5 9600k + 16GB RAM from very early 2019. Is pic related alright? I'm now on neetbux for a few months so I'd like to squeeze in an upgrade. I already have the OS, storage, peripherals, case (forgot to remove it so ignore the cost it adds), and some aftermarket fans. I'm gonna rip my current build out and put it in an old case to give to a friend (or sell for very cheap) so he can put his own storage and OS in later.
How big of a jump will I get going from a Ryzen 3600 to a 5700x3D at 1440p? I'm thinking of just upping my ram to 32GB and dropping in a 5700x3D and riding out AM4 for another 5 years.

>>103241537You can just as well buy 2x2x kit. Just don't mix the sticks of the two kits. You can get 6000MHz stable but you need to go deep into manual memory settings in BIOS. Why do you own a ROG Crosshair Hero if you don't know this?

Thoughts on the Kingston KC3000? Is it still a tier-1 SSD? Or is the phison bug too much of a problem?
>>103242284oouuhhh
planning on building a cheap linux pc as a christmas gift for my dad. simple web browsing nothing fancy. usa, budget about $600. planning on getting 2 cheap $70 philips monitors from amazon as well. any suggestions for a better mobo so i dont have to worry about updating bios?
>>103242336Didn't know that, now I know better.
>>103240936Not too important, is the PSU atx 3.1? For this price I'd personally go for corsair or superflower. Why is the mobo so expensive? The monitor is probably very good, I got viewsonic 27" 1440p 240hz for around the same price. How much more is wd black sn850x?

are OLED monitors comparable to phones now in terms of reliability (and lack of burn in)havent noticed any burn in on my phone despite the static UI in the usual areasalso going through this review and im really tempted to just dump the $1k+ for a monitor
>>103242624well you do suffer from having to baby the monitortheres the pixel refresh you need to wait out, pixel shifting, automatic brightness limiting on some models, need to hide taskbar and honestly you'd be better off having 2 monitors where the OLED is only used for media like games and anime
Please shill me your favorite full/mid size cases that do NOT have windows or RGB.
Noctua needs to take the stick out of their ass and start producing all white/black fans with RGB. They should also abandon their air coolers and start making AIOs.
>>103242489Woo, it works now, I think the ram wasn't seated properly. It's uncomfortable how much force it takes to put some of these connectors into place on a 1.6mm thick circuit board. The main PSU plug was even worse.Still have yet to put the GPU back in though.

Are there any recommended 1440p monitors that are better than, say, the aoc q27g3xmn, but still come in below $500? It seems like they all have huge drawbacks in that price range until you get into OLEDs at around $600 or so

Picked up the 7600x3d bundle tonight, had a $25 off coupon so that brought it down to 375 pre tax. I'm going to replace the ram and resell the ram that came in the bundle, but it still saved me a huge amount from buying these parts separately.They absolutely would not budge on substituting parts in the bundles. Said corporate got on their ass about it a month ago and they no longer can. In fact it's so rigid, if they're out of one of the parts for one of the bundles they can't sell the bundle until said part comes back in
>>103243396OLED can struggle in well lit environments because it usually dont get as bright as LED displays and max brightness accelerates burn-in too

Is cable management and figuring out which cables go where actually the only hard part about building pcs? And even then, most of that is easily guided by just reading your case’s manual?

>>103243610There are some quirky shit like some ASRock boards not playing nice with a few Corsair SSDs.The cause of some of these issues were the drive being in MBR format when Windows installation need them to be in GPT format.Then there's some other strange shit below.https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/98798915/#98803488It's probably sorted out by now because of the popularity of Corsair SSDs.

>>103243528I'm thinking of going AM5 in around 5-6 months so I'll have enough money. Only main requirements I need are 3 M.2 slots for my motherboard.
>>103241028to guy last thread:thanks again for responding. i think i will steer clear of mac simply because of the compatibility issues with a lot of games, plus i know how windows works already. like i implied, battery wouldnt be a *huge* factor because i will likely be in a situation to at least charge it in use. that is very interesting to know that you can simply turn off the gpu to save battery; is that easy to do? also, i actually do have a steam deck... but the model i have doesn't have wifi 6 compatibility for some reason, so unless i have the chance to use hotel wifi or a wifi 5 network (i've looked at the places i frequent, no dice), i can't really download more games onto it. very disappointed in valve.overall though, i would say i just want the uses of a desktop (gaming, browsing, media storage) in a mobile format, and i want to have it all in one device; im willing to suffer non-maximal gaming performance and lesser quality than a thousand dollar monitor for the sake of it being mobile. so, i decided i would probably like a laptop. it would game better than my phone/deck, it would be less of a headache to organize media than an android tablet, and have the QoL (wireless mouse, usb slots for external storage, desktop websites, actually good size screen, easy to mod games) that those other devices lack.browsing amazon, ive found an hp victus 15.6 gaming laptop with just a 3050, which sounds fine enough for the games i would play on it. what do you think? is hp a good brand these days?
Wondering if someone can help a retard out. I bought a PSU off Newegg and it came with "Super Flower MEGACOOL 140mm fan, Triple-Pack, 12-pole motor" model: SF-PF141-BK_3P. It comes with a remote control to control the fans, but I have no idea how this is supposed to work. Each fan obviously has their own fan cable, and then an extension, and they threw in a SATA cable with a female connection. I want to use these for the top of my case because apparently they're very good and I got them free, so bonus, but I don't know how to control them. Let alone how I am supposed to daisy chain all of them together. The box came with no instructions aside from a note that the SATA connector needed to be used if I was using more than one of these fans together but as I mentioned I've got no idea how to daisy chain them since the cables that came with them don't allow for it.
>>103243610If you're building something in the middle of the pack? Yeah, basically. Mainly because at that price point all of the stuff will work without a fuss. There is basically a bell curve. If you are buying very cheap, you are likely buying what you have to and that can mean you are buying substandard parts with bad QC, or has more quirks about what works with what and is poorly documented if at all. Meanwhile on the other end, if you are building something very high end with all of the newest parts and using some niche stuff and you're pushing performance then you are also likely to run into QC issues due to these being new batch products, there being undocumented or unknown conflicts, a lack of software updates, critical flaws that were overlooked, etc.
Hello all!US, budget of around 15-1600. Is this a good first time-PC build?I'm just trying to upgrade from my shitty "gaming laptop" I got that's like, a 3050https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7q3gLc
I found a prebuilt with a Ryzen 5 7600 for around 540 euros or 570-80 usd. The other components don't really impress me, it has a gtx 1650, one stick of 16gb ram, stock cooler, as for ssd and motherboard i don't really remember.Is it a good price for an AM5 prebuilt that I can upgrade? All I'm really thinking about upgrading are the cooler and the ram, for which i'd have to spend roughly another 130 euros, 140 usd.Is it a good deal?
>>103240723where's the ventral fishnet?

I'm getting a cheap gaming laptop (need the portability).Right now i'm between Lenova LOQ (83JC0023MX) and Acer Nitro V15 (NH.QPEED.00C).

>>103242844Not if you're serious about your 1% lows. Also if someone is serious about 1% lows chances are that keybinds are his second nature so there's no need for a second monitor.
>>103244279on the other note, it seems like MI350 is decently popular too, moronds chase the serverfire hazard Blackwell smart people just build supercomputers on cheap for 90% of the result.If RDNA4 pricing is right they may even make profit this time with gamign GPUs, which is stretch but fingers crossed nothign etarded happens, I'd say AMD is in a way solid position thatn Nvidia.Nvidia can crash and burn ack to being only gaing company any moment if AI doesn't make profit in these two years.

Does it make sense to reuse a Gen 3 NVME with DRAM cache as main drive over a newer Gen 4 DRAM-less?Current NVME is a 970 EVO Plus, I know it's "slow" for today's standards but I wonder if it might still provide better latency and general performance for Windows and softwares.

>>103244305Does a second monitor seriously impact 1% lows?This is very important to me.
>>103244427no
>>103244464It's just fascinating how they haven't came up with the idea yet. It could be a CGDCT while roasting every brand.
>>103244401It probably doesn't matter but I'm doing a new build so might as well set things up and install Windows on the optimal drive.
>>103244452Of course. Everything your computer does effects 1%s. Fan control software, all those services for rgb you run, programs that poll for updoots, everything.
>>103244305Please post benchmarks of this having any relevant, not within margin of error, impact on performance.If you were to overload your GPU with multiple 4k monitors trying to run DSC then maybe I guess (though it'd prolly just drop out video), but I highly doubt it has any impact whatsoever otherwise.Also would need to be tested with DXGI flip models and MPO to confirm Windows isn't doing something fucky with DWM in dual monitor setups.
>>103244491You ought to check reviews for both drives. In theory on-board DRAM should have lower latency but the 970 is old now so a modern HMB drive might well beat it by dint of incremental optimizations. In any case I'd expect the difference to be super marginal and not worth worrying about.Indeed, in your position I'd allocate them by capacity - use the smaller drive, presumably the 970, for Windows and the larger one as a game drive. Makes reinstalling easier since games are generally tedious to reinstall. That is assuming the 970 still has a good chunk of life left in it - if the NAND is worn you should use it as the game drive since it won't be written as hard in that role.
>>103244503>Fan control software, all those services for rgb you run, programs that poll for updootsI'm on loonix and I use none of thoseSo everything effects 1% lows, but just how significant is a second monitor?

>>103244718We're so back intelbros
>>103244727Doesn't really matter. Get the cheaper one. If they're the same price, Team is better known so maybe more likely to honour warranty. Maybe.If it's DDR5 you're presumably buying a guaranteed Hynix A/M bin (i.e. ≥6GT/s @ ≤10ns 1st word). PCBs are standardized and you're not pushing crazy voltage so the heatspreader just needs to "exist".If it's DDR4 then you're presumably buying mystery meat 3200C16 stuff.The exception is if you want to manually OC it. In that case look for a teardown to make sure the heatspreader is properly attached. Again with price equality I'd favour Team.
>>103241865You can buy a 2080 Ti for $200. Why would it be over lmao. Great value deals all along for the low budget gamer.

I am planning on buying the MSI PRO H610M-G DDR4. The MSI site says it has addressable RGB lights but none of the vendors I am looking to buy it from say it has any sort of RGB connectivity. As far as I can see there aren't multiple versions of this specific DDR4 board, but who am I to trust here?I was going to trust MSI since there is no version of it I can see with no ARGB but I find it weird how everyone I am looking at seems to exclude them.
>>103244904Are they the same spec? Should have mentioned that less obliquely.
>>103244911The first pic on the product page has an RGB header clearly visible (bottom left). I will say that you shouldn't really be spending money on RGB if you can't afford a B-series board but it's there if you want it.
>>103244939The other board I am looking at is basically at the same price but just with no argb and less connectivity. I think it has slightly better VRMs but I am using a 12100f so it doesn't matter.And I already have argb because my case included it, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way for it. But since it's there, I may as well.

I assume it reserves 2 individual XHCI controllers (hopefully from CPU and not chipset) for 2 dedicated ports?>WiFi, ethernetInternet maxes out at 2.5Gbps in my country currently, in the future it would likely go straight to 10Gbps in which case I'd get a dedicated card with SFP.Kind of a blogpost but I'm curious to hear some more opinions, especially if I'm missing something.

>>103245093>>103245104You don't need pbo on 7800x3d, especially since all it does is shoving more voltage to try get higher clocks, but due to cache being placed on the die it heats up too fast and it cannot dissipate the heat so it has to downclock soon after.Instead of pbo, use curve optimizer and put a negative all core value of 20 or higher to have better sustained clocks.

>>103245175I put PBO on advanced and set the curve optimizer to -20. Will run some tests
>>103245253EH. Don't you have anything better to spend your money on?

I'm not saying you shouldn't go for it, but buying an OLED is pretty much a luxury thing.
>>103245308>I live right next to a substationah yeah that'll do it. A UPS would certainly be the best thing to put out precisely 220V from 250V.otherwise you would have to find a 10:11 transformer or something.

Is it worth getting a 1440p monitor if I mainly watch yt and browse? I got a new pc this summer but had to use some trash decade old 27'' 1080p monitor and it looks and feels terrible for my eyes. Initially I wanted to go back to a 24'' 1080p one (which I used in the past and was fine) but I do kinda like the larger screen size, I just dont know if its really worth if i dont play that much videogames.
>>103245219My 7800X3D barely breaks 80-82c on cinebench and I cool it with a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE.you probably have poor contact/didnt use enough paste/both. remount the cooler
>>103245272Most good PSUs are rated for 100-240V so 250 should be within the safety margin but you really don't want to eat those margins as a matter of course. You could try finding some sort of "ruggedized" model with >250V input capability but frankly that sounds more expensive than a UPS. With that said do make sure the UPS can actually reduce the output voltage - overvoltage is not what they're "normally" built to prevent. Also, like the other anon said, you maybe want to get this fixed at the utility level. Should end up saving money in the long run provided a simple solution is available - if it's been decades since the last visit something might have come on to the market since.
Holy shit, turning off PBO and using curve optimizer dropped my max temp to 79 and under 100% load it's at 70 max. Way cooler. My coreclock is also reaching 4.99 Ghz, before it was topping out at 4.8.
>>103245353Yes, the difference is huge between 1440p and 1080p, but you might wanna consider 4k at this point. If you don't game you can easily run 4k on desktop, but you also have to set some scaling, as on 100% everything is very small.
>>103245370make sure it's stable. I had a -30 working for 5 mins before it crashed, -25 crashed too, and so did -20 but it took longer
>>103245370You can also set a power limit, so the temps may go down even lower.
>>103245370That's great but make sure to run a stress test with variable loads (I like OCCT) for a few hours, undervolting tends to cause crashes particularly when switching to a low power state.
>>103245385What did you run to test it
>>103245353In that case I'd be thinking 4k. 1440p has benefits for browsing - more real estate - but it's a compromise resolution that lets you get good gaming FPS without spending $3k on the PC.Since you're not gaming you could easily drive 4k on an IGP and get both more real estate and integer 1080p scaling. Do bear in mind that you may need to move some stuff around to fit a properly sized 4k panel - the 27-32" ones have a pixel density (generally) too high for native scaling.
>>103245370Why do people like you mess with settings that you don't understand or know what do? There are so many resources online that explain what those settings do, but you go ahead and do things your way and then complain that your shit might be defective.

>>103245408I knew PBO was an in-built AMD overclock that worked by increasing power.
>>103245007>>103245036I hated rdna lol it's only good in VR raster which is my niche so thankfully it works well
>>103245395cinebench and various prime95 tests
>>103245007i like amd. i like their cpus. my first ever custom build had nvidia gpu and amd cpu
Whats the difference between QHD and WQHD? Im currently looking at a 27 inch monitor and in the title it says its WQHD while on the pictures along other information like IPS, hz etc iz says QHD. Some googling says WQHD is for a wider screen but from what Im seeing its just a standart 27 inch screen im looking at so not extra wider or anything.
>>103245385>>103245389If his pc didn't crash with level 3 pbo it won't crash with -20 offset.
>>1032454912560x1440p is both QHD and WQHD, don't pay attention to this.we used to differentiate widescreen monitors (16/9) from normal monitors (16/10) back then and 16/9 1440p monitors were rare
If only AMD and Nvidia joined forces we would have the world's best APU.
>>103245528We already have him
>>1032442106-7 years is the normal Playstation product cycle, it will either be November 2026 or 2027
>>103245420Are you oc?

Since the 9800x3d is supposedly an oc beast, does it make sense buying a high end x870 board with really good VRMs?I have never overclocked before so I don't know how much they matter.
>>103245619>does it make sense buying a high end x870 boardThey're mostly for I/O, if you're just looking for OC performance all X870 boards are more than adequate for the 9800x3D. Supposedly some handle 8000mt RAM better but it's still mostly luck-based.If you can afford something like the X870E Nova then go for it, but the X870 Pro RS is perfectly fine too. Don't get a B650 unless there's a huge price gap, Steel Legend is fine for a 9800x3D too though.
>>103245528An apu that can rival a gpu? Lets say somthing of a level 4060.Thats bad for the business.

>>103245649you mean like Strix Halo?
>>103245640>check local x870 pro rs price>280 euros>check x870 steel legend >260Clown pricing.There's no reason not to go for the steel legend, right?
>>103245715yes its all around a better board
>>103245725As far as ram goes, I heard that the equivalent of Samsung's B-die for DDR5 are these hynix m-die, do you happen to know what kit can guarantee that?
>>103245748>>103245748>>103245748
>>103245744any 2x16gb and 2x32gb kit with 6000cl30-36-36 timings are 16gbit A-die that's currently the best as it has the tightest timings2x24gb and 2x48gb kits that are 6000cl30 are 24gbit M-die which clock higher (useless on ryzen) and have slightly looser timings
>>103245763Oh alright, that's great then I'll just grab some 6000mhz 30-36-36 sticks then. Thanks.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T7vD8QSince Black friday is about to be on the doorstep, I was wondering what you guys think I should upgrade from here.I got like 600 Euros and live in germany.Thinking CPU/Cpu fan+ Mobo+ Ram most likely
>>103245619IMHO I think anything over a x670e is massive overkill
>>103245770the technical best is 6000 cl28-36-36 but those are only available in 2x16gb capacities and are really expensive
>>103245338If you're on an x3d processor it's negligible I think
>>103245763who makes A-die 2x32 600030-40-40?
>>103244647Apparently that's what nihon people like.
>>103242741Weird, I wouldn't think you'd even be able to clip the ram in if it wasn't seated properly.
>>103244032A wired Realforce is unironically the final boss of keyboard durability, both in theory and in practice. The capacitive switches do not require physical contact to trigger a keypress and they simply do not fail. For mice, optical switches generally solve the usual problems but most mice with optical switches still have other points of failure. For example since Razer switched to optical switches for the main buttons it has become a common complaint that the mousewheel or side buttons fail early. Honestly you're probably better off forgetting about mouse durability and if cost is an issue then opt for cheaper chinkshit brands instead to save on each purchase.
