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.

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.

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?

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.

How much do modern CPUs really degrade?

Unfortunately, they don't have an X4 PCI-E slot from the chipset. I would have to run my GPU at X8 if I want to use my NIC. ASRock was my first pick when I started my research. The 5gbps integrated NIC might be enough for my needs, but I already have the Intel x540 and the other boards meet all my requirements.

>>103290074
The 800 series hasn't really been out long enough for knowledge of defects/problems to spread. Least of all because $300 motherboards are three niche-layers deep. To my knowledge there hasn't been any news about that sort of stuff yet so we're all basically going by specs and, indeed, by that metric they're all fine.
Historically, i.e. 600 series, Gigabyte has had the worst coil whine and MSI the worst boot times. Again, not sure if those translate. ASUS, as usual, offers the least features for your money but clearly you don't care to valuemaxx.

>>103290178
Running the card at x8 isn't a big issue. The 4090 isn't much hampered by PCIe2x16 and future top tier cards will be PCIe 5. Obviously you have the cash to just sidestep it but don't sweat it too much.

All of them fuck you over if you want more than 1 gen 5 SSD. It's a limitation of the CPU. 24 CPU lanes in total, 16x for GPU, 4x for gen 5 SSD, 4x for chipset which bifurcates to the gen4 slots. Some mobos just offer the option to run 2x or 3x gen 5 SSDs if you are willing to give up your GPU lanes

>>103288851
Anon, I have a 2 TB WD SN850X as well. I traced the reboots back to it and several WD NVMEs based on the event viewer and searched up the error code. They cause Kernel panics. Even funnier: My SN850X is loaded with Bazzite, not even mounted within Windows, and still verifiably causes the kernel panic crash and restart due to the drive. Check Event Viewer. Genuinely helped me understand why WD crap is so cheap. I will be taking it out for use as an external SSD when I have time.

>>103290522
To be fair though, things may look different if the GPU is used as well and heats up the case too, but at that point its the fault of the case, so whatever. Nothing that cant be fixed with better airflow in a bigger case.

There is a valid reason, have you ever heard of USB 3.x 2.4ghz interference? It's a real thing and it sucks, the more active USB 3 ports you got throwing off signal back there, the worse it gets. After looking at ALL I/O layouts for the last two gens, Asrock has the most balance short of the ProArt series. Still have SPDIF, they always implement dual USB 4 with DPAlt, and have a range of speed and power profiles for their USB ports so you use the best port for what you need. Makes sense! I don't want more interference back there./\ If you want something to complain about, go enjoy the trend of single USB 4 ports on $400 boards when Asrock puts dual USB 4 on its $200 boards, then talk about cheapening out! I use 4 USB 2.0 ports and it isn't an issue, if you want throughput, you should know where to get it. The only complaint I have: need more boards with Dual LAN, preferably 2.5gbe+10gbe like the ProArt.

>>103290617
they had to get creative to keep pushing higher speeds through the USB-A, it is interesting but reading the history felt like damn, these guys kind of made USB-A a lot worse in certain ways when the real solution was around the corner with USB C/4/Thunderbolt.

After months of saving up and not spending it all on fast foods like a fat fuck I used to be, should I get a 4090 now? Now that I have enough $$$ to buy a NASA computer, I mean I know the 5000 series will be coming next year but I literally can not wait to get rid of this piece of shit potato as soon as possible already. I want to reward myself NOW, but parts of me wanted to wait for the 5090
Current pc:
>gtx 750 4gb
>i7 4770k
>16gb ddr4
>HDDs
What I wanted:
>4090 (5090 if I can wait)
>ryzen 9 7950x3d
>32gb ddr5
>nvme ssds

>>103290660
Listen to me carefully: wait for the 5090 and 9950x3d + buy 64 gb of ram even if it's worse than 32gb

I know it's torture yet seeing benchmarks of the 5090 after saving up for a 4090 will be even more painful

Wait for the samsung gen 5 too

>>103290660
Nvidia is absolutely gonna pull a fast one on you if you buy a 40 series card now.

what's the difference between display port and hdmi?

>>103290698
HDMI has lower bandwidth yet is more reliable if you buy a decent cable

It's also far more popular and supported. Unless you have a > 4k 240hz display there is no reason to buy a display port cable

RX 7800 XT 16GB for $420 really that good of a deal? I need a GPU to finish my build, and 400-500 is around the budget I have for GPU

exclusive fullscreen in dx12 only games like resident evil 4 remake just sets it to borderless + your native resolution. borderless is borderless & whatever custom resolution you have set.

Sup dudes i havent built a pc in a very long time so im a bit out of the loop but im decently knowledgeable still
I'm looking to build a midrange pc. whats the price these days? mostly light gaming and fast enough for browsing the interenet and shit. no super intensive games. what parts are the best for around $1,000 if possible? (no monitors yet but that wont be in the final cost of the build)

thanks for your time guys.

>>103290753
Btw the 5090 will likely get sold out in minutes hence you should really prepare for waiting

Brother, they already discounted the PG32. It was 1299 the entire time until this week started and they dropped it by $300 on BestBuy. I guarantee you don't see a price lower than $900 anywhere else, and BestBuy just moved first because they had the most stock to get rid of. That's basically a 33% discount as is, you can't hope to see literally the top of the line 4K QD-OLED monitor slashed by half or some shit. It's not even a year old. Wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday if you want, it's not like it'll sell out, but if you aren't happy with paying at least $900 then don't consider it at all.

Anons, I'm already dead set on the P14 Max fans, but I'm having second thoughts now. I took a second look at the Corsair LX140 fans.
The Arctic P14 Max has the best airflow (CFM) and static pressure. The LX has the best static pressure compared to the P14 Max and Corsair's own QX140, but loses to P14 Max on airflow.
>https://hwbusters.com/best_picks/best-case-heatsink-radiator-fan-picks-hardware-busters/7/
I'm really OK with the P14 Max's looks, even if I lose the RGB that comes with the LX140.
But because my case is a Lian Li O11 EVO XL with Corsair QL120 fans (bought them during lockdown), I guess I'm a bit inclined towards aesthetics, even if I sacrifice a bit of performance.
Fuck. I also don't know if I should buy the black P14 Max now or wait for the white ones to come out.
Please help me. I'm so close to buying the P14 Max black online. I guess I'm autistic for aesthetics in the end.
Sorry for the long-ass post. Really just stuck here.

First ever build. Any advice or optimizations?

Main use is gaming, web browsing, watching films. Maybe some video editing and Ai but will be casual. Budget is £1200-£1300 might go a bit higher if something is considerably better. Already own the GPU, got it cheaper as well.

NVIDIA is set to announce the 5000 series by January 2025. It's only a stone's throw away. Just celebrate the holidays until then.
Give your old PC a proper send-off once you get the new one.
Buy the 9800X3D, 64GB DDR5, and Gen 5 NVMe if budget still allows it.
You can save a couple of bucks by going for Gen 4 NVMe. They're really cheap on Amazon now, especially the 2TB ones.
For reference, pic related used to cost around 400 USD when it launched.

>>103290831
if the user doesn't care and won't perform an in-socket upgrade, an AM4 5700X3D is perfectly fine for 90% of people, especially when it still tops the charts quite often, and fits the budget. They want to build NOW, 5070 is months away and certainly $100+ more. 32GB isn't enough? Eat shit, he had a budget.

>>103290760
There probably won't be a much better deal than this for a $400~ GPU for the next few months, right?

>>103290831
What price will the 5070 be? Surely it will be more expensive that the £539 I spent on a 4070S. I can still cancel though.

Didnt they just release their new Nvidia App? Youre saying they STILL didnt bother to implement undervolting even with a brandnew program?

>>103290927
Whats difference between GRE and XT?

>>103290931
And of course no upgrade path since AM4 is out of support. Literally the entire system will need to be upgraded in a few years just to be up to modern standards

>>103290931
well fuck you opinion, post you build

>>103290831
P14 Max used Fluid-Dynamic bearings instead of Double Ball bearings. The problem with the P12 Max was that they went with DBB first on Rev. 1, then FDB on Rev. 2 due to complaints about noise. P14 Max is FDB right away on Rev. 1.
And yeah, I can already feel that Corsair's proprietary shit will cost me a lot.
Corsair's new iCUE LINK ecosystem is supposed to solve the problem of having too many cables in an RGB system.
Lian Li was the first to solve that problem. I like their implementation. I'm going to watch some reviews of their fans.

I'm trying to build some kind of budget "living room" PC which will be used primarily as a NAS, but also for torrenting and light gaming on the TV. Here's what I came up with : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/y7twVF (prices are in canadian monopoly money, some of our prices are awful up there, budget of approx. $1000)

What do you guys think?

I keep going back and forth between the 5700X and 7700X, there's a bundle deal here for the latter which would increase the build cost by about $200. I know there's no real upgrade path with AM4, but at the same time I don't think I really need a 7700X for what I'm going to use the PC for...

Then again, if I had to spend $200 more on the build, it might make more sense to upgrade the 7600 XT to a 7800 XT...
