It is pretty easy NOT to fuck up your pc. Some advice i have for you if you decide to build your own (which i think everyone should do) is to relax and take it easy. If you dont understand something then dont rush it. You have all the time in the world. You will probably fuck something up if you rush it. Try to understand what you're doing before you're doing it. Really. Building a pc isnt that difficult but some things i had to youtube because it wasnt in the manuals such as where to connect the cables and where to connect the led cables from the case to the motherboard. It might be better for you who knows but dont rush it. I didnt fuck it up and i knew absolutely nothing about building a pc. As i said the hardest part for me was connecting cables after i had built the thing.

>>103288085

>>103288059
I also didnt wanna accidentally fuck anything up so what I did was tell my budget in places like this and ask for builds/advice (usually people will select a list of parts on pcpartpicker) and then go to a site with a good reputation where you select those parts and pay a small fee and they will build it and ship it to you. Out of laziness I even had them install windows for me and do benchmark tests to confirm it works well before they sent it out. From my experience you will get a better result for the money you pay.

>I'd like to build a pc but I don't want to accidentally destroy a part that costs hundreds of dollars
Many shops have "build your pc" option, especially if you order most of the parts from them. You pick the parts you want, they assemble everything and also can advice if there's something wrong with your build.
As for the prebuild - I wouldn't buy it. The CPU is good enough but it's maximum you can squeeze from AM4. 3060 still holds 1080p but barely, wasted money for Windows license, etc. I would flip burgers a bit longer and build something like

Building a PC is not that bad like that other anon said just dont rush it. The only way you can really fuck it up is by not being delicate and breaking pins or slots. Its hard to fuck up a PC build because most pieces just fit together like legos, putting square peg in square hole is usually enough but just be careful and read before you assemble, ive rushed builds and made some pretty funny mistakes because of it, my current build has a screw permanently fused to the mobo that doesnt fit in the case because I wasnt paying attention and jammed the wrong one in. Even as much of a dumbass as I was being the mistake caused no functionality difference.

I wouldnt get that prebuilt because its on the AM4 socket and basically has the max you can get out of it meaning if you ever want to upgrade your CPU or RAM you'll need to buy a new mobo too.

Got the H6 Flow and it comes with 3x 120mm fans.

Should I install some additional 120mm fans or is it okay for a Ryzen 7800x + RTX 4070?

Also apparently the fans are loud so maybe I should just get a new pack? In that case, should I get 3x140mm or 5x 120mm ?

>>103288434
Swap in the spare CPU and see if it still reboots on idle
If it continues, swap the board out for the spare and put in your current CPU and test again

>>103288455
I'd get more fans, a few intake bottom, if the case allows for it, a few exhaust in the top and back. You don't have to replace the case fans, the 7800x3d + 4080tis is not going to produce too much heat.

>>103288455
Don't buy anything until you build the PC and bench it. If the temps and noise are acceptable after curve tuning you don't need any more. Those parts are going to be sub-300W in your most common workload (gaming) so 3 fans is almost certainly plenty.

>>103288330
I'd buy one.

>>103288467
Read that again. I DON'T have any spares to test with.

>>103288503
It is quite high end for gaming, more cooling is required for workstation builds, 7950x or 7900x. In terms of GPU, there is 7900xtx etc which consume more watts, so more cooling is required.

I dont know which case to pick

>>103288492
It's an overpriced meme, if you want Nvidia the 4070 is bare minimum.

>>103288503
They are but they're also extremely efficient due to the advanced nodes and sensible stock power limits. The absolute top tier stuff does away with the second one and so might require more cooling. I say "might" because you get diminishing returns from adding fans - the internal case temp can't go any lower than the room ambient.

Looks like they do make an rgb version of the p14, thanks for the suggestion. Surprisingly expensive here in Aus though, $30-35 AUD each or $75 for the 3 pack puts it in more direct competition with the other 140mm rgb fans. For comparison the p14 maxes are only $17 each here.

Lowest-binned retail CPU for its platform and generation. As such, silicon quality could be anything from "basically a 7600x" to "dodged the trash can by a hair."
Not a hueg issue if you run it at stock, but since you wanna go passive, you probs should be undervolting, or otherwise reducing power draw, for best effect. In which case the better-binned 7600x will tend to offer superior performance and/or wattage, if you tell it to draw the same amount of power you would tell the 7600.

My point exactly. Moreover, most of that drop likely came from the first 2-3 fans you added.
Don't get me wrong, it's fine to push in to the low return region to hit some target temp/noise level. It's just not good value if you don't have a particular target.

I'll get a 5700X3D, a new SSD and RAM for my PC. Pic related are the specs
I want to get to 32GB ram but I can't find an identical Crucial memory. Can I mix ram with matching speed/latency (4x8GB) for enabling dual channel or should I get 2x16GB kit. It's the safer yet more expensive option.
I can get 2TB Kingston KC3000 $160, or 990 Pro for $185. I don't know if the additional $25 is worth it but might as well I think.
5700X3D is self explanatory. I got a Fuma 2 to cool it, I'll grab an MX-6 paste along with it.

running ram at 2133 beats your 5600 and has near no effect (No I am not debating this again)

>Can I mix ram with matching speed/latency
You can but probably shouldn't. Better to take the hit with a fresh kit - it won't be massive when you sell your old one.
Reason being that this is a DDR4 system running 3200C16 mystery meat. If you buy another kit there's good odds it'll have different ICs, Higher chance of needing manual tuning for stability. Given how cheap DDR4 is right now it's just not worth the headache.

>2TB Kingston KC3000 $160, or 990 Pro for $185. I don't know if the additional $25 is worth it...
Frankly even the KC3000 is overkill for gaming. Games aren't made of massive files so big sequential speeds don't improve your load times.
If you're in the US try these:
>MP44L $102
>SN770 $113 (may need a firmware update for W11)
>980Pro $120

That's why I was asking if I can safely get away with the even cheaper option of getting another 2x8 to compliment my current RAM instead of getting new 2x16.
>>103288697
I suppose I'll go with a cheap 3200mhz/cl16 2x16 option. I'm not in the US but those prices are really good.

tweaking ram and running jedec dog shit 2133 on x3d is near useless and wont do shit
but schizos here will cope and seethe over this fact that it is in fact useless in gaming

>>103288794
The first anon has a bit of a point in that a 5700X3D with 2133 (your expected worst case from mix&match) will outperform a 5600 with 3200 but the price difference is so small that it's hard to justify the saving. A fresh 2*16GB 3200 kit should only be like $10 more than adding sticks and covers you for those edge cases where the cache doesn't. It's hard to beat that kind of return especially as games demand more data over time.

>>103288790

So I'm at a loss for what my next step should be. The fact that I could game without reboots and the 30 min benchmarks ran fine leads me to believe that my CPU and GPU should be fine.

My PSU was suspicious, but often the reboots were not really in high load situations, so I have my doubts.

Some anons suggested that my NVME drive could be the culprit. I checked for firmware updates but I already had the latest firmware.

Do you guys have any advice on what I should try next?

>>103288048
I guess there is not much point but you can passively cool a 7800x3d with that thing no problem.
I also think you might be better off trying to cook up your own passive GPU somehow. Maybe use the morpheus 8069 on an efficient card like the 4070. Unless a 3050 is all you need.
For the PSU don't spend all that money on a passive one as an rm850x will not spin it's fan to power that. It doesn't start spinning until like 300w, 350w.

>>103289089
11 has autoHDR which is probably the only solution you can force into a few pesky games that don't even like RTX HDR. Alongside some calibration tool.
Linux is primitive as fuck. You need to practically run shit on a different TTY for it to "work". You need to use gamescope everywhere. It's a general annoyance. On nvidia it's quite broken as well. 2/10 experience.

I don't know if you're still here anon, but what I learned is that the Venus 3X has a plastic backplate and is made with cheaper parts. Though with how manufacturers are always releasing models made with leftover parts to get rid of them this isn't as meaningful as you think it is anymore.

ASUS meanwhile charges a premium and their products are supposed to be more "reliable" as a result, but they apparently have terrible customer support and return policies in the event something does go wrong.

How much do modern CPUs really degrade? I'm not talking about the Intel housefire models, but it seems like every chip made in the last 5 years or so will slightly degrade over time to the point where, for example, it won't work with the same high memory frequency or will require a bit more voltage to be 100% stable.
