probably cheaper than the MSI 4K OLED 165Hz (but this one is flat though)

Enjoy your burn-in issues, you chump!

might be the right place to ask.
im planning to upgrade my pc and i already ordered new parts.
i have a r5 1600 on a b350 prime plus asus motherboard with 16gb of ddr4 3200mhz corsair vengeance ram.
i dont want to reinstall windows can i just plug in my old nvme into the new motherboard and have windows update all the drivers?
im upgrade to a msi mpg b550 board and a 5800x3d along with doubling the ram to 32gb.
anyone familiar with such a thing?
its a windows 10 install.

Thoughts on this build? Going for 1440p gaming, but I really to play a whole lot of super new AAA games. I already have the gpu, so my aim is to future proof everything surrounding the gpu then upgrade that when the 50series launches. If the 50series is as disappointing as the 40 series I think ill just look for a used 4070 ti super and then just not upgrade again for like a decade (please let me know if this is retarded).

Does anyone know if the NZXT H7 Flow is a good case? Originally I was going to go with the Laincool 216 ATX cause I saw it recommended here, but the H7 Flow is on sale for a better price.

Is the power supply good? Originally I was going to get a 750W one but then I noticed this 850W one was on sale for nearly the same price and just figured why not.

Is there a way to know if this CPU cooler will be enough? I just got it from the OP and its cheaper than the AIO options.

banking more on rakuten 15% to even out the shitty sales tax, other leafs have reported getting $150 even with the 10% off coupon + sale so total cost should ideally be under CAD$1000 even with tax, equivalent to approx US$700

you can do worse things with US$700 i guess

You need to spend $1000 to get a 1080p PC that can handle high settings nowadays. Might as well spend $1000 more and get the latest.

It costs about $1900 to get the newest cpu, gpu, and 1440p oled monitor

>>103319370
>why would I spend all that money just to buy a PC that can only play 1080p.
Because you said you don't want to spend 2000 on a gaming pc.

Right, so it's not even worth it.

The people that are truly the most retarded arent the consoomer spending $1900 on a 9800X3D+7900XTX and a 1440p $400 OLED

It's the regular jim bob who is buying a 5600x+6700XT gaming PC and spending $900 to get old shitty parts to play at 1080p with shitty graphics.

how important is the chipset?
Will I notice huge differences between B650E and X670E when going for a 7800x3d?

>>103319650
chipset is mainly I/O. if you have to ask then you don't need the beefier stuff.

Haven’t done any tests with it yet because I just popped it in and let it do a TrueNAS replication of my raid for 3 hours, write speeds looked normal. I’ll set up a samba share with it and dick around.

>>103319744

>>103319811
Buy a regular office chair, gaming chairs are well known to be uncomfortable and you’re paying more for the color or branding.
I’ve never had a chair that’s tolerable to sit in that was less than $300. So just get a slightly decent one and be done with it. Otherwise you end up replacing your $80 chair for a $150 chair and then a $200 chair, and still not happy.

>>103319855
>And fuck off with that $300 stuff, I ain’t rich bro.
if you dont care about what your sitting on then youre better off getting a 3ft tall wooden stool at that point.
But seriously if you want to be cheap about it youre going to have to go to a thrift store or something and check the brand of whatever office chair you find. I got a howarth zody for $5 that way.

>>103319665
people like you keep saying it since ps5 came out about every game, wake the fuck up already.

>>103319620
any b650 board above $150 will handle 9800X3D

Does RAM ranking matters?
There is a ddr4 32gb kit on sale, but ram is single rank and I can't figure out how does it affects performance relative to speed and latency.
Dual rank kits cost more so there is should be some difference.

>>103319855
Get a $90 Amazon basics or the Branch chair that’s on sale for $200 right now.
Don’t go looking for anything fancy like an ergonomic or one with a foot rest, at this budget you just want something basic that won’t make your ass and back hurt after 15min.
Also consider plugging your pc into the tv and chilling on the couch.

9900X doesn't belong in a "bang for your buck" build, maybe the 7900X does if you need the multicore workload for productivity loads.
Gaming, settle with the 7600X

Anyone actually able to grab the 9800X3D at MSRP? I got an email from Newegg saying it was back in stock, and was sold out again in 20m.

Also, since I'm basically re-building my PC from scratch (only keeping PSU / GPU / NVME from my current rig), is it worth getting Windows 11? Got a notification recently about them stopping support for W10 soon-ish, but I believe there was some issue with W11 limiting gaming performance last month.

>>103320366
honestly no idea what is better, I ordered same MSI one because it's only $500-ish and LGs still go for about $900 here
maybe they will ship it soon? wait couple more days
WOLED is nice if you have a bright room too, I live in bunker conditions so don't care

I was looking at the price history of the 7800x3D and it looks like it was on sale as early as 4 months after it released. Would it be worth it to wait for the 9800x3D for a similar drop in price?

i just farted and sharted my pants. should i wipe or should i just leave it?

>>103320420
4060ti for 1440p is too optimistic. Wait for 5070.
I'd keep CPU if it doesn't bother you, shader caching may take a while longer and some UE5 sutter but it's a minor inconvenience.

>>103320484
>Would it be worth it to wait for the 9800x3D for a similar drop in price?
would have to wait a year.

>>103320366
>I'm going to use it for work as well
samsung QD is somewhat tested at this point, it has a better chance of surviving work conditions I think
nobody ran LG in torture conditions, at least I'm not aware of it

>>103320484
Once the initial hype dies down and they stop moving in droves AMD will cut prices. That's usually how it works. However with Intel essentially being non-existent they might not do this.

>>103320484
yes, people buying from scalpers are very dumb.

Qualcomm wants to buy intel fabs now, what the fuck is going on, will it be a good or a bad thing?

>>103320455
win11 if anything improves performance apparently ever since 24h2, but you might want to install ltsc to keep bloat to a minimum. go to the windows general.

Why are so many hardware reviewer types strongman tier? Between this video and a bunch of case reviews I watched earlier today, like half of the presenters look like they bench at least two plate, probably more.

>>103320539
Cheers. Been getting trouble with the "Update" to W11, something about Secure Boot not being enabled, then when I enable it, I just get sent to the BIOS all over again. Google says something about partitioning that I don't understand. I'll check there

You might look for memory compatibility and pick something from the official support list just to be sure it's going to be plug-and-play and you won't have to tinker it manually.

Does my M.2 SSD need a heatsink? It doesn't seem to have one in the package and my motherboard doesn't seem to come with a heatsink for it. It's a Kingston KC3000 btw.

Pcie4 nvmes are very unlikely to run hot enough to cause deterioration during regular use but if you are gonna make heavy use of it a heatsink will make sense
I'd just get one in any case, they're cheap enough and can't do any harm
Arctic makes a decent one for less than 10 bux iirc

Do you not have any covers over the m2 slots? They serve as the sinks and come pre-mounted.

>>103320484
was able to get a 7800x3d for $300 last november. the general view of 7xxx series and am5 was that it wasn't worth upgrading to an entirely new platform, so all am4 upgraders went for 5800x3d, and fomo drove that thing almost up to $400. after initial demand is gone, the 9800x3d won't get that cheap like the 7800x3d did since they are both on the same platform, so upgraders to am5 would go for a 9800x3d anyways

I guess I'll check the temps once I've got it set up and buy one if it's getting hot (or I'll just get one anyway if I end up needing to buy anything else).

What's the best case for thermals I can buy? I want it to be small like the meshify c but is there a better case for thermals? I dont mind spending more money as long as it isn't over 200 dollars. I dont mind spending extra for fans too. Also is there a sight I can see for case temps that compares models?

That score looks extraordinarily low for OpenCL but probably early drivers. Seems like somewhere between Nvidia 4060 and 4060 Super or AMD 7600XT and 7700XT. Probably around the ballpark they will want to be in but the issue will probably come down to pricing.

So my case came with 6 pre installed molex fans, all chained together. I removed the top 2 exhaust ones since they are basically completely useless for my build. Is this connector being left like that a problem? I connected everything else.
From what I see every fan is connected with each other as it is and there is nowhere to connect this one anyways.

>>103321014
It's on the smaller side so not much surface for cooling, XFX, Asus, ASRock and Gigabyte make units with bigger radiators if you don't want the fans to run too fast. Gigabyte's is the only triple fan 6600 I think.

You need extra thermal paste on hand just in case. There is nothing worse than having your PC down for days waiting on thermal paste. Ask how I know.

>>103321330
Keep the pre-applied thermal paste for the first time you mount it, you'll get to use your tube when you need to remove your cooler to access a part, clean the radiator or just to repaste it. Thermal paste stays good for years, not really a waste of money.

>>103321372
Don't, you'll overpaste it. The pre-applied amount is enough, you'll get worse cooling if you put more paste between the die and base plate.

>>103321025
>Seems like somewhere between Nvidia 4060 and 4060 Super or AMD 7600XT and 7700XT
Not bad for B580 since most people use budget cards anyway according to Steam data.
https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/
Guess B750 and B770 are going to have 7800XT/4070 and 7900GRE/4070S performance which is enough. Alchemist GPUs already have better raytracing than RDNA3 and if Intel delivers good drivers (and marketing) it unironically might compete on the market.

If the Ryzen 5 7600X3D CPU wasn't a dead giveaway, I'm in the States near a Micro Center.

Speaking of the build and Micro Center in question I stopped by there last week and they gave me a different build that had an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU and an ASUS B650M-A Prime AX II AMD AM5 microATX. I wasn't too happy with it, and the only thing I kept from it was the Micro ATX mini case (due to spacing), using a MicroATX mobo over a regular ATX mobo, and the PSU. The downside to doing all of this is that I miss out on any savings.

>>103321947
Ideal circumstance might be nonsense though. Vt3 might be loading up numbers that are 10x bigger and have 10x lower throughput if you have 10x more ram, I'm testing 192gb or 5.4gb per core which could account for the low throughput since I selected stress test it'll run whatever is the most stressful not necessarily the fastest. If that's how it works, ideal circumstance is like the smallest ddr5 sticks you can get at the highest speeds and you can get a completely meaningless result

Anyway, its clear I'm not talking to people that know what vt3 actually is (it's not just some random synthetic algorithm(ie. what physical parts of the cpu it loads)) and why its "speed" is actually important for measuring cpu performance, and more importantly, that it is not being limited by ram speed.

Sure, you should not buy the bottom tier boards. But any board is not better just because it is 5C cooler than another board, and the coldest doesn't mean best. Period.

Acer Nitro XV275K or InZone M9 II?

>>103322436

All the load on my HDD and SDD is gone when I'm gaming. A lot more RAM in use though.

>>103322747
On water 650w? Probably! Unless it's another shit node!!??

>not being limited by ram speed
Wow I'm getting expected performance now when I'm not loading over 5gb per thread. It's almost like you have Dunning-Kruger syndrome.

>>103322772
did you just... move most of the test into cache and then claim you aren't making my point?

Anyone on here selling a 4090? This 79xtx can't hit the speeds I want it to. Cbf waiting for a 5090 9900xtx
Hopefully the rest of my x670e 9800x3d build comes this week missing case aio ram Mobo but have CPU and bracket and psu

you still didn't post adrenalin settings. I'm willing to bet my left nut that you have no idea what the fuck you are doing.

The Acer, but if for a 27" 4K LCD the 27M2V2 has slightly better image quality and is usually a bit cheaper:

If you don't mind the lower pixel density of a 32" 4K panel or the aggressive curve as a deal breaker the Samsung Odyssey Neo G75NB is a Mini-LED VA panel which reduces the blooming that happens on Mini-LED IPS displays:

You aren't wed to 4K LCD at the price you can get 27" 1440p OLEDs which are would be a night-and-day upgrade in image quality for the same price or less:

^Cheaper Matte 1440p WOLED

^Slightly more expensive Glossy 1440p QD-OLED

And for not much more than 27" 4k LCDs you can splurge for a 4K OLED if you really want the resolution bump:

If it were me I'd spring for one of the OLEDs depending on budget. The lack of LCD defects like IPS glow, blooming on MiniLED, VA smearing, narrow viewing angles, etc coupled with perfect colors, contrast, and motion response times regardless of refresh rate and FPS is too overwhelming for a home display. LCDs are good for Excel and browsing 4chan and that's it.

I thought you were the guy who said I'm not getting expected performance and said my explanation of why throughput of a ram test is meaningless for measuring cpu performance is retarded.

>>103322815
I'll just type them out
Core min:500mhz (for all runs)
Changing max from 3000mhz to 2500-3500 made no difference
Card wasn't stable under 1150mv sits around 800-1000 under load anyway pwr limit+15% 415w pegged constantly
Ram fast timings runs 2650-2750 no issues temps very good hot spot doesn't go over 80c with fans screaming at 3300rpm core and mem temps don't go over 65-70

Unless you can get the LG for significantly cheaper, I'd go with the QD-OLED as every color, other than white, is is significantly both brighter and purer on it which adds up to cumulative advantage in color gamut & volume. See this quick-read if you have time:
https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/exploring-oled-brightness-improvements-woled-vs-qd-oled-and-the-need-for-new-metrics-and-specs
Really adds to the pop and richness of games and video, particularly with content containing a lot of bright solid colors like in anime.

yeah thats me. we can start over since you cant keep up.
>anon 1 has low performance on vt3

>anon 3 screeches NOOOOOOOOO
>anon 1 or 3 idk said throughput measure is retarded for this
>i say you don't know how this actually works
>anon 1 unironically accuses somebody of dunning kruger while demonstrating it himself (why the fuck would anybody assume you aren't using the default allocation of memory for vt3)
