QD-OLED is superior to WOLED, the latter tends to be more expensive due to LG (panel manufacturer of all WOLEDs) being more stingy with pricing compared to Samsung (panel manufacturer of all QD-OLEDs).
If you have to pick one, get a glossy QD-OLED and don't look back, both 4k and 1440p options are great.

You had 3 years to buy a 4000 series. I'd wager the vast majority of the thread that wanted to build a new PC has a 7800X3D or 7600X plus some sort of 4000 series card.

>>103307303
You probably missed it, but when the 4090 was released there was some major cope movement about waitfagging for the 5090.

Perfect upgrade from my 1080 Ti. Why not?

what other glossy QD-OLED options do I have

was first considering Samsung, Alienware, whatever now I'm leaning towards the MSI MAG 321UP (only 165Hz but same 3rd gen panel just tuned lower apparently) since it's glossy
Monitor will be used indoors so why matte

Is there any reason to go for MPG 321URX (240hz) over the MAG 321UP (165hz)? Like better build quality or something?
The difference is like CAD$250

Hello, any Ap201 pccase enjoyers here? I need a bit of help. I needed a new PSU and bought a Corsair Rmx750. When it arrived it was the Shift version(connectors are on the side). Question is should I bother to see if I can make this work or should I just send in back and get the right one

Does anyone ever combine their hobby server with their pc build in any way or are they completely separate all the time

Why does HDMI VRR behave totally differently on 10bit vs 12bit color?
On 10bit it's rapidly jumping in 115-118hz range on desktop and sometimes 48hz sometimes 72hz when playing videos.
On 12bit it's solid 122hz on desktop and floating at 119-121hz when playing videos.
12bit is using DSC but since the panel is 10bit anyway it should be indistinguishable from native 10bit, right?

>>103307697
im going to run the 7900xtx with a 7700x because the 9800x3d is not in stock and only the 7700x was on a bundle discount anyways

thats why im going to buy a 4K screen so help minimize the bottleneck a bit, though i understand in some scenarios even in 4K a 9800X3D can give a huge boost. It'd cost me the equivalent of US$350 to step up from the 7700x to the 9800X3D though

>>103307708
fair, you will be in a prime position to upgrade to vanilla Zen6 let alone the 11800X3D

>>103307720
and then the 7900XTX will be the bottleneck, then the cycle starts over

A Super Flower. The cables are insanely stiff, and laughably long. The shortest cable, I shit you not, was the 24-pin. The SATA cables were each at least two feet long, the CPU cables required me twisting them around backwards to actually plug them in (keep in mind these fuckers are sincerely the stiffest things ever). This is a fucking dual chamber case and literally 90% of the available space is occupied by the cables from the PSU. The worst part is I haven't even plugged in the VGA cables, and don't think I could without taking off the rear cover for the case. This shit is absurd. I am going to take all the cables out and start from square one tomorrow and see what I can do until the replacement cables from Cablemod show up in a week or so.

I want to build a tiny ITX computer for my tiny wife. Any ITX Case and Build recommendations? Thinking about a $1000 to $1500 budget, minus monitor or nvme ssd. She borrows my gaming laptop, but now she wants her own computer to personalize, do arts, and music-making on. Would also be good if it can do 720p recording with gaming or can comfortably do gaming at 120-144fps at medium/low graphics because she gets easy motion sickness. ITX for versatility of upgrading, but ease of moving around, and minimal aesthetics leaving more space in her area for her arting. Fractal Design Terra may be good for upgrading, but I wanted her to have a pretty small case. The idea of having her backpack around a little cyberdeck makes me smug. And 4060 TI or 4070? Would having more VRAM benefit OBS and other graphics programs running at the same time? Also just tempted by the 16GB Vram for a 2nd computer to use with AI. Looking at having the unit run Reaper, OBS, Photoshop, Blender, & gayming.

Is there a downside to just getting one of these cheaper business-oriented motherboards? I don't really overclock things, i'm usually fine with stock.

>>103306884
eh if it's normal I'll leave it alone, might overclock the ram later

>>103308180
where from?

>>103308190
the 5700X3D will be miles better than the 8400, the funny thing is if you bought Ryzen when you built it would be drop in but its not going to cost much to buy a cheapy AM4 motherboard and a 5700X3D and use your existing ram.
Stellaris results are probably Interchangible for CK3 and the 7800X3D and 9800X3D are leaps ahead of the 5700X3D but that doesn't mean it is bad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-lFgbzU3LY&start=540
the R7 2700 is probably the closest thing to your CPU and the 5700X3D halves the simulation time compared to it, the 9800X3D almost quarters the simulation time.

>>103306804
>>103306884
>>103308265
this is called spread spectrum, you are running at 3200C18
the frequency fluctuates by a few % to reduce electromagnetic interference
there's no real harm in enabling or disabling this but any overclock right on the edge will be more stable with SS off

>>103308269
How much more expensive is a am5 motherboard than a am4? I just want to play the game stat to finish without major lag. If it only costs ~$300 more I think I could do that. Especially with the prospect of future updates.

Also I only have 8g of ram, it's barely enough for minecraft and a video in the background. I definitely want more.

>>103308192
It's insane. I don't know who the fuck over in China thinks you need four foot long cables that are as thick as your ring finger, and as flexible as steel bars, but here we are.

>>103308289
People are going to tell you not to buy AM4 (correctly I might add) because it's a dead socket. AM5 is the new thing that AMD will be supporting for a while.

The stiffer cables mean they can safely transfer more current at lower temperatures (wire gauge).

How do you feel about this combo? I was looking to upgrade my PC at the base level and I see this combo on the front page. All I really need is

CPU
Mobo
RAM

It's competing with this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4730598&cm_sp=product-combooption and I don't know which one would be the better deal because I haven't had either of these motherboards before.

The cables aren't actually that thick. Hilariously, the 12VHPWR cables aren't covered in molex and shit and are you typical very cheap looking black rubber cables, so they're very thin. They just look awful. All of my other cables are insulated beyond belief, and stupid long. Those two things don't mix well. I will actually take a picture of my bay to show you what I mean.

Welcome to the rat's nest. Look at how cramped the area where you plug into the PSU is. This is largely because the fucking cables are thick as fuck, and inflexible. I can do better than this, but I didn't bother (see: didn't remove the drive bays) because I realized I would need to fit the VGA cables and couldn't be bothered spending my evening doing that when I could spend it on making sure my parts weren't defective, downloading Windows, starting to do burn in tests, etc. Either way, we both know Cablemod makes high quality stuff without this kind of annoyance.

No, you're right, I couldn't afford a Spectre 4 and the DK07 was out of stock.

Are there any good cases with the power button on the front? My current pc fits perfectly on this in my desk. It's in there in a way that means it can never fall down and I like it a lot, but there's very low clearance on the top (I had to unscrew a couple screws to get it in), so I wouldn't be able to access the usbs or jacks on the front and turning it on would be a pain, if everything was on the top.

Also is now the right time to wait/hodl? I know the next generation of GPUs is soon, will that bring prices for Ada cards down?

4080S + 9800x3d

So I grabbed a 2k QD-OLED, cant use it. The text looks awful and I instantly got eyestrain from it. After an hour of gaming I feel sick.

Between a 2k or 4k IPS which would be better? Can I downscale from 4k to 2k if performance isn't doing well without any issues?

>>103308986
You'll be relying on DLSS for most of the newer games @ 4K.
Even @ 1440p for relatively high refresh rates.
DLSS 4K quality is upscaling from 1440p internal resolution.

How retarded is going for OLED if there will be static shit like taskbar for 6+ hours a day use?

>>103309017
Mm, I should stick to 1440p then until a few GPU gens later when we can do 4k more reliably.

Is this fine?

What do you guys think of this build? I want to upgrade my computer and future proof it for a bit since I have no idea whats going to happen to the price of computer parts once the tariffs hit. I want to keep my budget around $1000 but its flexible. Technically I'm upgrading from a 6700xt but I'm going to be selling that to a friend and I want a card that can do blender and make ai smut. Aside from that I'm aiming for 1440p 140 fps gaming.

Is the CPU i choose a good choice? I honestly just chose it based off of OP. I was looking at the 9800x3D(with a different MB) and I dont mind waiting for it to restock, I just dont know if it would be super overkill or not.

The power supply is something I already own, but would you guys recommend a stronger one?

Im kind of torn on the 4070 ti super. I like that it has 16gb of vram, but man thats already more than double the price of everything else and the cheap bastard in me feels really bad about buying that. I didnt like that the 3060 was already weaker than my 6700xt and the 3070 ti looked good but that 8gb of vram is depressing. Is there any hope of these cards decreasing in price even a little? Is this the best im going to get in terms of nvidia cards that arnt literally $1000

This is my first time buying computer parts during the holidays, is it worth it to see what cyber Monday offers or is this generally the best its going to get?

At that price, the Ventus is fine.
The heatsink is a bit thinner and the fans are slightly smaller than the Gaming X, with no extra power headroom for overclocking.
But you don’t get much extra performance out of overclocking NVIDIA cards these days.
NVIDIA is done with selling affordable and performant cards.

>>103309082
Go amd. Intel's 12700k is ded platform, if you can't get 9800x3d, get 7800x3d or 7900x or 9900x. PSU might be fine, but I'd be more comfortable recommending 750w. Sell the PSU along with GPU if you can.

What was your previous monitor? I also have a 1440p QD-OLED and despite people complaining about text fringing, it's probably the only OLED issue that doesn't affect me at all.
>Between a 2k or 4k IPS which would be better?
I'd go 2k because I'm a framerate addict and I can't really tell the difference between DLSS Performance at 4k and DLSS Quality at 1440p.
There are great 1440p IPS for $150-200 that will do you just fine.
If your budget allows you could also try a 4k QD-OLED, according to users the higher PPI makes text fringing a lot less noticable.

Found a 5800X3D for $205 new on Amazon, will be replacing a 3700X. My gpu is only a 3060Ti (waiting for 50XX to drop). Will I see decent gains in my 1% and 0.1% lows at 1440p?

This is going to run like poop unless you have a 5090 and 9800X3D, at least for the beta it didn't matter whether I was running 1080p or 4k as both were still highly CPU-bound with a 7800X3D and 4080S.
You can always use DLSS in modern games at 4k, Performance should render at around 1080p.

there is a lot of such cases from china, cheap too.
nobody needs an HDD cage anymore when decent HDDs start at 10Tb, you need only one.

That is new. Googling it, it seems to be a known issue for 2 months already so, it might be fixed already?
Other than that, I see some workarounds from reddit so I think we're still good..

You could 3D print a new PSU basket but the problem is that Corsair Shift has connectors on the wrong side (for you) if you still want the PSU to suck fresh air from the front side and not from the inside like Lian Li A3 has. IMO you better send it back and get a normal PSU.

I would unironically consider the upcoming top Intel GPU for my build but I doubt they fixed their drivers, especially for Linux (and I'm not an Arch-fag to constantly glue broken software together). I prefer flawless experience and AMD is much more mature on Linux but we will see, maybe Intel got their shit together.

The model in >>103310150 is QD-OLED so Samsung not LG. They may beat them to market with a 4K 27" OLED monitor next year but if LG pull out a true RGB-subpixel panel it still might be worth waiting on. I wonder if this development isn't related to Samsung being a client of that new MAX OLED breakthrough that just came to light.
https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/applied-materials-max-oled-screens-touted-to-offer-5x-lifespan-tech-claimed-to-produce-brighter-and-higher-resolution-screens-too
>The core advancement is said to lie in transitioning OLED production from Gen 6 to Gen 8 glass substrates. This shift allows manufacturers to produce larger and more cost-effective OLED panels as Gen 8 substrates provide higher yield efficiency, reducing costs by optimizing the number of displays produced per sheet of glass. This scalability directly addresses the growing demand for larger and more versatile screens, especially in consumer electronics like tablets and laptops.

>MAX OLED technology also promises significant improvements in display performance. Panels produced using this system are said to achieve up to 3x brighter screens, offer 2.5x higher resolution, and enjoy a 5x longer lifespan compared to traditional OLED displays. Additionally, these advancements are achieved with 30% lower power consumption, making the technology more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

>The platform integrates new materials and precision engineering processes to overcome historical challenges in OLED manufacturing, such as uniformity and material waste. Its unique co-evaporation process enhances material deposition accuracy, while proprietary tools streamline production workflows. By improving material utilization, MAX OLED not only reduces costs but also minimizes environmental impact.

>Leading display manufacturers, including Samsung Display, Visionox, and Japan Display, are adopting this new system

the thing is, people thinking the B770 to be a 4070 competitor are setting themselves up for disappointment. it would mean a 65% uplift.
I would be surprised if they get a 50% uplift that brings it to 3070ti tier.

>>103310200
I can't really be 100% sure but I tested it with a multimeter and I also monitored the voltages and its temp while the system was at full load. I don't see how it could be the PSU if I can boot once, get a restart in 5 minutes at idle, then not get another one while at full draw for hours (or vice versa). I could RMA it but I can't work without my PC and I'd have to waste money on another unit (that I'll end up not needing).

>>103307950

>but I tested it with a multimeter and I also monitored the voltages and its temp while the system was at full load.
multimeter wouldn't show you udner load behaviour
and digital voltages from BIOS won't show you if it drops because of pweor loss
is your house outlets alright? measure that too

>>103310360
voltages could all be okay and your PSU could still be broken and you'd only find that out with a proper tester that tests for ripple and the timings.
easiest way would be to borrow a PSU and if the behavior still occurs then it might be the motherboard but then again it might be something else random in your system, its one of those kinds of problems that needs basically one of everything to isolate one by one and repeat the issue.

>>103310396
Power in my area isn't great but I'm on the overvoltage side of things and PSUs are supposed to handle that pretty well (as opposed to brownouts). Fuck me, I guess I didn't try another wall outlet but my previous system had a higher power draw with a shittier PSU and I never had issues.

>>103310446
Don't have anyone to borrow from, but a dedicated PSU tester sounds useful, I'll get one if it's not ridiculously priced.

Lots of ram is a no brainer for her build, but I feel like a ryzen 9 would be overkill in her case, would a ryzen 7 be fine?

About £2600. Half of which is the audio system.

>>103310467
>I'll get one if it's not ridiculously priced.
unfortunately proper ones are like $600
the cheap $10 ones let you know if there are any voltage issues and the PSU self check response time/power good time which should be under 500ms but it doesn't tell you anything else.

if you don't have access to another PSU then you could always buy one and return it if the behavior remains.
what country are you in? maybe you could meet up with a /opg/ anon who wouldn't mind mixing and matching some parts to see if you could find the issue definitively.

We need competitive cards in every price segment, not just the low end. With that being said, Battlemage won't be competitive whatsoever. It's shaping up to be a completely pointless release and will definitely be Intel's final attempt at breaking into the discreet GPU market.

She is currently in school for game dev and wants to specialize in 2d/3d assets making, but has no job lined up after graduation, so imo I feel like overinvesting in a new system doesnt sound like its worth it to me especially when they can get the job done on laptops, but I get that she does not want to buy a whole new pc and have her programs feel laggy.

I was thinking a 8700F or 9700X, they are both cheaper than a 7900X at the moment (euro prices)

Yes absolutely stick to the lower side of things. I always recommend starting with a budget and seeing what's possible. I'd also say to consider a laptop if she doesn't already have one - unless the course is remote she'll probably want something to take to the library for group study.

>7700X
Should be the default unless the 9700X is only trivially more expensive.

>8700F
An odd choice but its lack of demand might make the price attractive in your region. Do remember that these GPU-less APUs are architecturally different to the mainline CPUs which sometimes impacts performance significantly. Mostly in gaming, to be fair, but it'd be wise to check benchmarks on her production software as well.

>7600/X/7500F
Also an option if budget is tight. Like you said most students do this shit on laptops and compute time shouldn't be a big issue.

stupid retarded question but i don't understand how to choose a compatible cpu cooler.

i have the stock intel cooler and want to upgrade.
i see that on amazon cpu coolers list various sockets, and have found cpu coolers for my socket.

but they look so different.
i mean the stock intel cooler vs these new coolers.
the mobo has those 4 holes for the intel cooler.
but in new coolers i cant find those 4 things that go into these holes.

Aftermarket coolers typically use their own mounting hardware. It'll be included in the box along with instructions.

Yes she does have a laptop already, but mostly its remote so she sits on her desktop 90% of the time at least.
>I always recommend starting with a budget and seeing what's possible
its about €2000 but local prices are a bit different. I could fit a 7900X with a 4060ti 16gb but that would leave her with not enough budget for a new monitor, I feel like a 7700x would be a better fit for that reason.

I mention the 8700F because its like €250 while a 7700X runs for €350, but the 7700X fits the within the budget better so I might go with that one.
Thanks!

>>103310939
you can turn it off with openrgb

>>103311024
€2000 strikes me as a lot for a student's PC but I suppose it's fine if you're moneyed. The 7700/X/9700X will be more than good enough. 8700F is an option too if you'd prefer to move more budget to peripherals (a drawing tablet seems like a good idea if not already present).

Do I need a heatsink on an M.2 SSD drive for everyday use? I'm not planning to run SSD benchmarks on it 24/7 or constantly write/read hours of UHD videos. Mostly just gaming.

Only Gen5 have heatsing mandatory, Gen4 can live without it unless the SSD came with one. Use mobo heatsinks if you can.
