Is it ok to leave thermal paste in the empty resistor area of the am5 cpu? It already is running, I don't know if I should take it apart and clean it out.

The response time number on the box is effectively useless, excluding OLED. Actual response times of LCD panels will reach double-digit ms depending on the content and refresh rate, or they'll be fast but have overshoot which is just as bad.

>>103260828

Upgrading from a 2700X to a 5700X3D, but I remember having a lot of trouble with memory compatibility when I first built this system, had to return like 3 kits.

Also would it work to add another identical 2x8GB kit or is getting 4 sticks to work a gamble?

Not really. The problem is only a few motherboards actually do error correction and, by and large, they're not cheap. The L1Techs forum has info on which boards work with it if you're curious. Alternatively, buy an old Xeon/TR/Epyc for guaranteed support.

>Is an AIO minimal maintinance?
Yes. Same as an air cooler. Though obviously when the pump dies you can't just replace it like a fan. Expect about 5 years from it.

>Can i squeeze a little more performance out of the build for slightly cheaper?
Hard to say because you're locked in to Microcenter pricing. Which, to be fair, is usually excellent so it won't be far off.

Thermal putty on vram > pads

Is it worth going for 2x32GB kits right now or are memory prices too overpriced and I should stick to 2x16GB?
I don't keep up with the memory market, I just remember being able to go 16GB back in 2013 because shit was super cheap at the time, and staying on that for nearly a decade.

It's for a Ryzen 8600G so I'd need to use some memory clocked fairly high for the iGPU. The cheapest 6400MHz 64GB kit I see is the PVV564G640C32K (Patriot Viper 64GB 6400MHz and I'm guessing CL32).

>>103261308
Best advice when using any form of watercooling is to have an emergency air cooler on the ready so you can keep using your PC in case your loop runs into problems. If your CPU came with a stock fan you're all set, otherwise grab an Arctic.

>>103261381

>>103261413
Yeah that's how Microcenter works. They get you in the door with good bundles and hope you buy something else to make up their margin. Never having shopped there I can't tell you if they'll let you split the bill like that but IME most stores will. You should call them and ask.

>Could have bought the Nova restock that happened ~15 mins ago
>Decided against
Am I really missing out on anything by getting the $100 cheaper Steel Legend? I don't need 5 M.2 slots, 3 (1xGen5, 2xGen4) is more than enough. I don't care if using all 3 M.2 slots disables the PCIE_2 slot on the Steel Legend, because I have never used a 2nd PCIE slot. The GPU Ez release is probably nice, but I've never had trouble without it before, and I don't fuck around with my PC that much once its assembled.

What I can't assess the value of is the backplate, 5G lan instead of 2.5G and a 20+2+1 Power Phase versus 14+2+1. What does a backplate even do and why would I need one? Would I even be likely to be able to utilize 5G Lan as someone with burger internet? Is 14+2+1 enough to overclock a 9800x3d to moderate/respectable speed? If anyone could help with these questions, that would be great, because these are the only things giving me FOMO to buy a $350 Mobo.

AIOs are "minimal maintenance" as long as they work, but that does not mean they are immune to all the bullshit problems involved with water cooling. The pump can fail, water can slowly evaporate, the plates will need cleaning because they may get clogged which kills the water flow, etc.
So if anything breaks, you'll need to top them up with coolant, or even take them apart, scrub the cold plate with a toothbrush if it is clogged (repeatedly if there's more gunk in the tubes), change the pump if it failed, and so on. Not so fucking minimal maintenance.

vs. with even a cheap air cooler, nothing will fail, at worst you may need to change the fans every 4 years IF you find them getting noisier as their bearings wear out, or redo the thermal paste... both which you also have to do with AIOs too anyway.

there are amazing quality air coolers now, you don't have to bother with AIOs.

>ts performance doesn't justify the price any more.
The recent G2 noctuas are considered the best performance 140mm fans on the market (at a considerable markup).

>>103261693
Their heatsinks, sure, but their fans are crazy good in literally all edge cases you can think of. bearings last fucking forever, startup voltage/pwm is lower than any other fan and extremely consistent and reliable, they may have the same noise level in dBa as other coolers but at a different frequency that is more pleasant to the ears, etc. And their warranty is ridiculously good. Like, if you make a recording for a 12 year old fan that it developed a dull, slightly audible clicking due to the bearings wearing out, THEY WILL REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE despite it being out of warranty and the fan otherwise working perfectly. It's fucking absurd.

>>103261706
No clue about their warranty, but as far as I can tell they have similar build quality but at the lowest possible margin they can get away with. Like, 1/3rd or even 1/4th the price. I don't know the fans they use, they look like they use similar blade arrangements but I honestly never used them because I have a bunch of spare noctuas.

Full sized or 80% (aka TKL) are the only two valued options. The TK is literally for office drone work given that if you need a ton of buttons to hit on demand these days you can buy a mouse designed specifically for MMO's and run a macro off each button (usually with software that they provide), consequently nullifying their entire reason for existing in the first place since you never need to move your left hand or take your right hand off the mouse. Economy of movement, baby. But for FPS players? Retardation, mostly. Using a 60% or some shit isn't going to make you better at Valorant.

It doesn't really matter for a data drive. You're mostly just price shopping - sometimes an M.2 will be cheaper based on what deals are running at the time.
Generally NVMe should be preferred since it has the option of HMB and more theoretical durability but slots are obviously at a premium so you might want to keep that open for something slightly more demanding than bulk media.

Vram packages arent as even as dies so medium that is more malleable and can fill in those gaps are better. Also less stress on your cooler since they squish out => better gpu core temperature and less likely to get weird hotspots. Also the top of the line putties are cheaper than pads. The only downside is that cleanup is a bitch.

There's is this guy who's been religiously testing a shit load of putties, go look at the data yourself

if you use 27-32" screens that are flat you probably naturally get led into not using the sides of the panels because stuff looks uncofortable small there
you literally get more screen real estate by using curved

If you dont sit in the middle what are you doing, not playing video games or watching anime thats for sure.

>>103262306
The game is fun but it’s not grindy enough to keep players playing.

try and get 5700x3d at least

>>103262366
well for poor people its important to find ways to invest more to get something genuinely good so theres no feeling of needing to upgrade early because you bought cheap shit

In that build 5700x3d would be better value cpu
16gb ram is fin
1tb ssd is kinda shitty, you'd rather just buy 1x 2tb one since the mobo has limited slots and you run out of space pretty quickly.
psu is just about fine
mobo seems a bit shitty, why does it have vga. Then if it has wifi/bt built in that saves trouble later if you need it.

With gpus you'd want to just buy used since gpus generally arent prone to breaking and they simply get more out of the money you invest. Like a used 3080.

>>103262378
>>103262382
5700x3d would be a waste of money since he'd be capped by the rx6600.

>>103262392
it doesnt cost that much and the cpu is more important at lower res + these days you get games with shitty code where cpu bottlenecks arise, npc ai coding is bad, unreal5 has stutters that get minimized with better cpus

How much impact can a case have on temps? I have a really shitty tiny mid tower from 2016 with only 2 case fans and pretty bad cooling, was thinking about getting a newer case.

I suppose I could toss in another front case fan as well.

I dont think thats important in 2024

Compatability fears can be eased with online part checkers that will alert if anything major is wrong.
The biggest issues would come from trying to buy parts for a small case, a normal atx case its less problematic.

the p14 max runs at almost twice the rpm + noise for less than 3% better performance, so if anything it's noctua doing the mogging.

If you're going linux 7700xt maybe? Someone else can put their two cents in on this, I'm not an amd gpu guy. I'd be concerned with PSU, they tend to draw more power than nvidia. But honestly the difference isn't that big these days, I was able to use my 3070 in linux

So do we wait for g2 chromax or will other competitors make something better by the time?

No one says a 4090 is enough for 4K. 4K is such a stupid and demanding meme that you need all the power you can get. While it's no PS5 Pro, which can easily do 5K as it says on the box, the 5090 should be a significant leap due to all the new architectural changes coming. It'll also likely be $2,000. You'll still have to use DLSS though.

I tested my cpu with prime95 (9800x3d) and it's at 66 degrees. It uses a 360mm aio. But when I run the GPU and both cpu and gpu are at 100% the cpu temp gets up to 88 degrees, despite the water temp still being 37. Is the gpu just putting out too much heat or is the cpu water cooler not attached properly? Not sure if this is normal.

pretty sure it's offered at a discount for students or people on some form of social security

I want to pick up a 4070 ti super but can't decide on a model after reading some reviews.

Some say ASUS cards are made poorly, other say the TUF line are the premium card line that run silently.
Some say Gigabyte are the middle of the road card line, others say that they have poor customer service and use low quality parts.
That MSI make terrible cards and to never pick up the Ventus line. No actually MSI make great cards and have good customer support.
Coil whine
etc, etc

So I am asking for some guidance. If I want a 4070 TiS, and am not going to put it through the wringer, what should I be looking at?

>>103262766
It's a hyte y70. I kept the cpu test going and stopped the gpu one so it wasn't at 100% and the temp goes back to 66 quite quickly. That's why I assumed the gpu was heating up the inside of the case. But maybe I need to rescrew the aio back in or reapply the paste, I don't know.

>>103262841
Gigabyte IS middle of the road and they have shoddy customer support because its basically automated with little help
TUF line is typically their better stuff but its like comparing a supermarket to walmart
MSI can be good and their customer support back when I needed them was helpful for my RMA but they kinda fucked my fans on my old card and it sounded like a jet engine ever since I got it back(gave it to my brother but its been running fine so eh)

It depends on your cooling and psu and your own tolerance.

TDP only matters if you're skirting the line with your PSU or running parts notorious for spikes.
CPU temps only matter if you're running budget/midrange with poor cooling, or exclusively doing prolonged high-load shit.

any estimate on when the nVidia RTX cards are coming out, and when the next Ryzen chips are coming out? Wondering if I should buy Ryzen 7 or 9 now, or wait for a new line to drop and buy the current-newest line at a discount.

I bought this Ryzen 5 as a placeholder a while ago, because i had to upgrade my mobo for new ram, and thus needed a newer chipset as well. I told myself I'd buy a more powerful CPU shortly, and then... forgot.

I'm starting to feel the pain being CPU bottlenecked in higher end games these days, and my GPU is feeling a bit old now too. I usually like to buy the second-newest gen stuff, because it ends up so cheap while the newest gen stuff is usually more expensive without a proportional power difference cost-wise.

Im trying to get a good deal on a desktop for Black friday. A coworker told me i should get a 4070 super on amazon and a cheap prebuilt with integrated graphics to upgrade. Anyone know of a good prebuilt that would mesh well with a 4070 super?

>>103262885
If you're cold storage archiving I'd just get as many TB for as low as possible that's usually used enterprise drives from WD/HGST from places like serverpartdeals.com. Do note these drives are a lot louder than regular drives.

If you want to use that in a NAS/Server I'd also buy used drives but always double the amount needed for offline backup or you can forgo that and cloud backup if you trust a cloud service. IF you want to buy new drives, usually Seagate Ironwolf or WD Red are the ones to get but WD have been overpricing their shit way too much recently imo. Toshiba is fine too,

The Barracudas are Seagate's cheapest drives, fine for storage and access not really for 24/7 use. I had one running in a NAS for a couple years thinking it was fine but Seagate's gonna Seagate and it went and corrupted a bunch of shit. Replaced it with a WD Red. But that is a decent price for a new 8TB HDD.

>>103262841
MSI is chinese junk tier.
ASUS is either best tier or it burns down your CPU. Plus they have brand tax in their prices and their support is downright scamming you into buying a new item.
Gigabyte used to be the best but they fell down a lot over the years, they are still respectable however.

If I had to buy a new board it would be either Gigabyte or Asrock.

>>103262885
Toshiba and HGST are the best brands for HDDs. Seagate is mcdonalds tier (cheap, plentiful, bad for your health). WD is a mix of their own drives (for low size items, RED PLUS drives) or HGST (for high size items, they acquired HGST and keep it as a brand).

If you want to do archiving, only buy helium drives. They are higher end and higher capacity. Anything non-helium is either too small to be worth it over SSDs, or it is consumer garbo tier.

And for fucks sake, stay away from Amazon when buying drives, they sell refurbished drives (which in reality have 50k hours in them), sometimes even OEM/white label ones, with packaging so bad you'll be crossing your fingers so they still work. They are cheap for a reason, only really worth it if you are building ZFS Z2 arrays.

>>103263073
>how big of an issue is it?
You'll get only meme answers here.
If you want to trust me:
Guaranteed within 2-3 years, which is why buying new with warranty is almost mandatory.
Depending on model + luck + workload, can happen as early as three months. You can google "oled burn in three months" and get dozens of stories if you want proof.
A lot of newer oleds claim to be burn in resistant but what it actually means is it fucks with your colors to keep you from noticing, which makes it useless if you care about color accuracy in productivity.
There's also firmware issues out the ass, like some Samsung qd-oled monitor that accidentally forced a burn in within a month if you forgot to update.

They have to put electricity in the cpu somehow and the little electronic doodads that convert 12V DC to a more palatable 1.2V will get hot.

I'll check it out anon thanks, I might do a Cold Storage later on, would a Server Rack be overkill for that? There are some cheap1s near me. So a Barracuda wouldn't be good for Gaming, I was hoping to use it for 5 years maybe 10 years. I am willimg to spend a little more if it means its better in quality.

I've seen a lot of HGST HDDs for as low as $80 for 10TB, maybe its time to snipe a few of them but those are on Amazon so. And thanks anon I don't know a whole lot about HDDs but I want at least 50TB of Storage just incase.
>And for fucks sake, stay away from Amazon when buying drives
Thanks for the headsup anon, I haven't bought anything yet but I can checkout BestBuy, maybe Target will be good I've heard they have a few good Tech deals happening...What about NewEgg? Only reason I haven't used it is because I was banned for buying a MOBO&RAM, then unbanned like a Week later for some reason.
>>103263070
I know but there more pricey, I can put up to 2 in my MOBO so depending on how much I may get another just for my Games.

>>103263265
why are you stupid, because you use a monitor a lot?
you can always buy some shitty ips monitor to keep static elements up 24/7 and only use oled for gaming/anime.

>>103263073
>worried about burn in
resident oledfag here and I mostly agree with >>103263132
burn-in can both happen exceptionally fast or moderately slow depending on how you use it and if you take care of it.
currently I would not recommend any OLED as a main display unless you have casual hours (2-3 hours a day) and only consume dynamic media (vidya or animu).
>>103263265
I don't get why people WFH have an obsession with OLED, it's literally the most pointless and inappropriate thing you could buy for that.
anyways regret is part of the deal when you buy OLED, comes with the realization that your $1k monitor is killing itself for you to browse the web

Its only $20 more expensive for 18X more speed. ~400 MB/s vs 7400 MB/s. The perf difference is HUGE.

2 extra slots for $5.

>>103263401
Nothing. I have an 8TB, and I sucked it out and put it in my NAS. It's just a hollow enclosure.

I need a new mouse/keyboard pad, but I don't want one made out of fabric because it accumulates dead skin and there's no way to clean the fuckers, so I am looking for a rigid one but I'm not certain what to search for.

>>103263365
turn your old machine into a nas

>>103263432
Just change the numbers in photoshop. You literally will not know the difference, ram speed is placebo.

>>103263432
buy a legally purchased copy of AIDA64, you brown-skinned retard

>>103263432
go into bios and increase your ram speed
thaiphoon burner will tell you what ram you have so you can cheat and copy timings from other people

>>103263365
You'll be enjoying it for a while, all new shit has various stability issues. No newer computer I've had has been as solid as my 6700k.

I've seen several bad reviews for the nzxt c850 2024 model. People saying they came DOA. It seemed a bit too good to be true for the price anyway.

What are some of the better priced AMD cpus to look out for on Aliexpress? R7 5700X3D looks good on Ali, anything else? Is RAM something you should avoid on Ali?

Is there a website where I can go and compare all these GPU variations?
Find out exactly what the difference between OG, OC, and OG + OC is?

I know very little about GPU speak. Is it just marketing?

How the fuck do I fix this shit? It should be working just fine like everything else I have connected.

just bought the aw3225qf
how bad did i fuck up

>>103263470
You sure you have it plugged into the GPU instead of the motherboard?

>>103263470
plug it in

>the MSI monitor was only discounted by $100 while the ASUS one was discounted by $300.

I am beginning to shake the buyer's remorse now. It's only a hundred dollars more than the MSI after the discount, has better features, and comes with G-Sync.

If I have to replace my AM4 mobo due to it being a pile of shit is it still worth going with 5700x3d or at that point should I just move to AM5? Cost to stay on AM4 with 5700x3d and replace mobo would be about $220. Cost to move to AM5 with 7600x3d would be about $400.

AM5 is the move at this point right?

>>103263494
Just get the 9800x3D at this point if you're chucking away your motherboard.

>>103263494
dead mobo + want new cpu = platform upgrade

>>103263362
Thank you anon :)

>>103263502
I know 9800x3d is the best but I don't have a GPU on the level that would make spending almost $500 on just the CPU worth it. Is the 7600x3d that bad? I'm coming from a 3600x, my GPU is a 3070

Believe me I have thought about just saying fuck it and getting the 9800x3d. Maybe it is worth it even though future proofing is not real

1. find your max stable FCLK by booting in async mode (keep RAM speed the same while increasing FCLK incrementally), almost always 1866-1900 MHz
2. increase your memory speed to match your max FCLK
3. lower memory timings, start by setting tRC to <= 60 and tRRDS/tRRDL/tFAW to 4/4/16 or 4/6/16 (these are crutches to make bad memory sticks stable)
4. draw the rest of the fucking owl

What's the easiest way to OC with AMD through the BIOS? I know there are two functions everyone says to turn on and just call it a day after undervolting.

What's the best SSD SATA to run the OS, I've got a nvme but I want to dedicate it entirely for gaymes. Running Windows on it while working is grinding my gears.

>>103261679
I think i will wait a few days so i can have abigger budget

get a regular 7600 non X. 3D is a meme and ramlet cope.

>>103263550
that is a dumb idea. Run everything on the nvme

Is it normal for motherboard usb ports to be flaky? It seems like every so often I reboot and have to unplug and plug back in my keyboard or mouse. What would cause this?

>>103263561
I know about the bottle neck when it comes to write/read due to the SATA interface, but that's not a problem for me, I just need something faster than a 7200rpm hdd. And I'm protective of my nvme.

Why? How do I fix it?

why not just get the 9600x? it shits on the anything below the 7800x

if yoou dont buy the canada version, you dont have a warranty or something really tedious at least

I remember looking into it long ago and basically started buying WD or anything else for SSDs because of that, maybe it's changed now who knows

>>103263589
I updated it a few days ago, and disabled fast boot.

>>103263583
Truly? I have not heard this anywhere and benchmarks don't seem to reflect this in any meaningful way. More efficient maybe, but not that much more powerful

How easy is building a PC

>>103263630
Easier than you think.
Hardest part is the PSU connections, and maybe the seating of the CPU due to nervousness.

>>103263630
the hardest part is picking the parts

>>103263630
Really easy just watch a YouTube Video and follow along, for me the hardest part was the CPU but it was actually easier than expected but I took a few days to build mine because I'm a re+ard and was trying to troubleshoot it thinking I broke something when I just needed to hold down the powerbutton. Also don't screw down your CPU Cooler too hard when you do.

>>103263630
the hardest part is putting the RAM in for the first time

>>103263660
good thing i have fren sourcing the parts on amazon for me

>>103263630
There's a bit of attention to detail required, such as peeling stickers off coldplates and heatsinks and plugging in front panel connectors correctly

4)free kingston 1tb nvme

the only thing holding me back is all the shitty review the mobo has...

>>103263693
Could pick a different mobo since you're getting an atx case yet you picked a microatx mobo. It's also pretty poorly priced for a b650 board imo. Other than that looks decent.

>>103263703
That is a good deal for the parts included, the mobo is always the weakest link in bundle deals in my experience. You could replace the mobo and flip that one and still be very happy with what you paid

>>103263703
That’s the mobo I got from microcenter with my 7800x3d bundle and it was doa
