Brehs I did it, I joined the chad VA mini led gang and boughted AOC Q27G3XMN/BK.

Issue is Im months away from building the rest of the computer and Im currently rocking 1050ti powerhouse. Should I use the new display at 1440p while browsing and some crippled 1080p cropped mode when gaming? Or just use 1080p for everything and deal with blurry image?

>>106644080
Why is this even a question? Desktop at 1440p for multimedia and browsing, and then game at whatever the fuck you want, including 1080p.

>>106644080
why? this is $200 bucks https://www.newegg.ca/msi-mag275qf-27-qhd-180-hz-rapid-ips-metallic-black/p/N82E16824475390

>>106644080
Looks like a standard LED ("W-LED", white LED) to me. Not Mini-LED...

Just realized I put my cooler the wrong way and had to take it off for a few minutes, do I gotta apply thermal paste on the cpu again?

>>106644080
Please tell me your gaming experience with it. I’m still torn between miniLED VA and IPS and not sure if the black smearing on VA is still super bad nowadays. Been using IPS for years now so I’m used to its drawbacks.

r8/h8 please. first build in a long time (currently on a gtx1080/xeon). not on the list is the monitor i'm planning to buy which would be the lg ultragear 27GR83Q. also just upgraded my speakers from a 20 year old logitech 2.1 system to the kali lp-unf and I'm liking them so far (tested the nubert nuboxx, kanto ora, argon audio studie3)

How much did you pay for it Anon?
If you are still in the window to cancel the order or return it I'd strongly suggest doing so and getting the successor model, the AOC Q27G40XMN instead ($270):

Still MiniLED-VA but with better colors and 3x the Zone Count for better effective contrast and less blooming.

Just gather all the paste in the centre before installing the cooler. Paste doesn't age super quickly and can be reused this way

Should you set your AIO pump to a constant 100% or have a curve like with radiator and case fans? I've tried googling this but lots of conflicting information. P.s. the frozen edge is really nice, mounting it was a pain though, can't imagine the freezer 3 if it's specifically mentioned as having a finicky mounting solution.

Alright. Here's my suggestions: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/wyPth7
The 9800X3D is just not worth what AMD is charging for it over a tray 7800X3D IMO (only 3% uplift @ 1440p for over an extra 100€), see here:
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/27.html
I'd save your money with the "last gen" X3D chip right now and upgrade to an end-game 11800X3D later on when AMD ups the core count and gives an IPC gain worth your time/money. To put it another way you haven't maxxed out your GPU yet so there's little point in maxxing out your CPU.

Saved you a bit of money on the RAM/Mobo (there's little difference between the B650 & B750 chipsets, but check it's feature set to confirm it has everythign you want).

4TB NVMEs carry a premium while 2TB models have the best €/TB value at the moment (remember your board has 3x slots if you need more space later). But if you have a larger boot drive the UD90 would still save you a chunk of money:
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/2BvD4D/silicon-power-ud90-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp04kgbp44ud9005

Likewise the Toshiba 18TB is a poor €/TB value when for 15€ more you can get an extra 6TB.

Cases are subjective, but it's a fine selection.

Saved you a bit on the PSU with a quality unit from MSI that has a 10-Year warranty.

>I have too much static content going on and i hate the idea of buying something of which i know that it will degrade and is shit for text/excel stuff or i would go with an oled. I'd prefer the PG27AQN but I can't justify the price as it's still around 800 in the EU.
For less than the price of the 27GR83 you might also consider the MSI MAG 274UPF E2 (4K@160Hz IPS):
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/q9fxFT/msi-mag-274upf-e2-270-3840-x-2160-160-hz-monitor-mag-274upf-e2
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/mag-274upf
Your GPU could handle it and you might appreciate the PPI/sharpness more than the refresh rate.

It's not especially known for it but you are probably sensitive to it. I'd move something large between the sunlight rays being cast from the window and your PC (or add windwo shades/curtains).

It would actually be worse in this scenario (but better if you could control your lighting more and at night).

That werks. Also if you haven't already, you can color calibrate your monitor with just a piece of white office paper as a reference point to get rid of any tinting you may not even be aware of:

>>106644576
thanks for your input, I really appreciate it! the monitor is already a compromise as I mainly play cs2, otherwise I would have chosen a 4k and/or an oled. I looked at some 4k models that can do 1080p at a higher refresh as well but they all had somewhat mixed reviews.
I created the build list (minus the gpu) some time ago and remember that it took me quite a while to decide between the 7800x3d and 9800x3d and think in the end the 9800 maybe being a bit more future proof swayed me but I think the 7800x3d would probably work just fine in my usecase (mainly gaming, some light cad/sketchup, excel,video editing work). the toshiba and super flower choices were down to good reviews in the super flower case and me thinking the toshiba enterprise stuff will longer, but your choices make up for some good saving if I'm being rational.

>>106644460
nah. some 'tuber tested it recently at increments of 10% on an arctic aio and higher isn't always better. like on his particular unit, 80% cooled nearly as well as 100% while being quieter and 90% worsened temps over 80%
whatever % you choose, setting it at a constant speed wouldn't hurt

Can someone help me fathom the bugbear I was dealing with yesterday? So I have had a Ryzen 7000 system for awhile now and I finally solved this issue I have been having. Basically I kept my PC on for 98 days which ended yesterday because a strange issue I can't explain that prevents me from booting back into windows. Yesterday I was forced to restart and of course I couldn't get back into windows. So I basically narrowed it down to U.2 to M2 adapter. When that wasn't plugged in I could boot to windows. But with it plugged in even if I did make it to windows I had strange crashing, randomly losing ethernet stack, ACPI error bluescreen and the drives in the question were unaccessible. Interestingly enough I have my os installed on a optane drive which is connected via the U.2 to M.2 in the second M.2 slot and it still worked without issue. I finally managed to get everything to work by using every other M.2 slot and skipping a slot. It seems if a device is plugged into the problematic slots it will make my system unstable and unbootable, even if it is a normal M.2 drive. I have RMA'd the board before and they said it "passed tests" is there anyone else who had this happen before?

>>106644613
>Fair, you Euros get boned on monitors.
Speaking of which, has anyone tried buying monitors from aliexpress before? They apparently opened some warehouses here this year so they deliver shit within 2 days or so with free returns. https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009897708581.html

>the toshiba and super flower choices were down to good reviews in the super flower case and me thinking the toshiba enterprise stuff will longer, but your choices make up for some good saving if I'm being rational.
You really can't count on Enterprise HDDs to last any longer than the drives that are sold to consumers (no disk maker is spending money running multiple separate production lines with special hardware under the hood for better longevity to only certain buyers). The differentiation is mainly firmware for RAID arrays/warranty/post-sales service to large data center buyers who buy enterprise drives by the pallet.

Always have an extra disk you are periodically making backups with.

For the PSU, yes Superflower is one of good OEMs. That MSI unit is made by CWT on their GPX ATX 3.0 LLC/DC-DC typology platform (as good as it gets design wise) and passed Cybernetics testing so it should be fine:

I see then that makes sense for your gaming style as the GR83 is well tuned. Only other option worth considering might be the ASUS VG27AQM1A which is a 1440@260Hz (OC) IPS panel and is a bit cheaper:

nvme drives are part of pcie and when you do u2 to m2 bullshit you can potentially fuck up something on the pcie side whether its the mobo or cpu. theres a qvl list not just for ram but also pcie devices for mobos. they usually list nvmes and gpus but they barely list those conversion adapters.

really sursprised I didn't stumble upon that one already, looks pretty good for the price except for the massive input lag at lower refresh rates. I will go with the MSI psu and the cheaper hdd then, makes sense. still debating the whole 7800/9800/11800X3D thing in my head, but given that I could just switch to the 11800X3D I think the 7800x3d would make more sense atm and I don't see what kind of benefit newer motherboards could provide me when the 11800 comes out. thanks again!

>>106645452

>>106645281
for video games you would take the 1070 since it's nearly 2x a 1650m + has 8gb.
There are games released since late last year that would be literally unplayable on either though.

You've never used miniled

So a lot of cases seem to include 2 or 3 front intake fans with no exhaust fans, which I guess is for the manufacturer to save money.

If I were to get such case, is there any downside in buying a cheap rear exhaust fan? I don't know much about this stuff, but it seems like it's worth it to get the extra fan to keep decent temps.

>>106645452
>>106645491
No problem.

>>106645519
Most of the time rear exhaust does very little. I would buy a cheap arctic p12 or 14 just to populate an empty spot.

>>106645519
no, even the fractal torrent with it's massive 5 intake fans benefit from an exhaust fan (even if it is just 1 degree difference from testing)

It is the best current monitor panel due to least fringing but if you consider 32" the truegloss ones have a better coating and less raised blacks/magenta meme tint due to woled
but you are trading one shit for another so, depends
and if you know you don't want actual good HDR and can go 55"+ for a TV size then it's another thing

Idk anything about ram other than more is better, so I wanna double check on this. I'm building a pc for 2d animation, video editing, and light gaming. Of these two, bottom is definitely better right?
Top is 6000 mhz, $190 with 30-40-40-76 timings. Bottom is 6400mhz, $165 with 32-40-40-84. Cpu is a i7 265k.

Alternatively, this one is also $165 with 28-40-40-100 timings.

>>106646545
6000cl30 is ideal for ryzen which is why it gets price inflated. conversely, 6400cl32 is faster and better but doesnt run well on ryzen so its cheaper.
the 265K has a very good memory controller and runs memory speeds up to 8000mhz stably

>>106646545
Doesn't matter for your use case. Those kits use the same ICs, but since you are not aware of that I won't suggest you should manually tune timings.
Just grab 6400 and enable XMP.

Why does miniled cause so much seethe? Is it just oled bagholders?

I'm so retarded, I thought the metal parts on the motherboard's io shield had to be out of the case and spent a solid hour trying to wiggle like that, then I just aligned with the metal side on the inside of the case and the standoffs were perfect...

I really want to go with the 4k Ktc M27P6 but I'm worried about IPS glow when local dimming is off. I had a Acer Predator XB283K that had atrocious IPS glow that was visible even in daylight

M.2 to U.2 adapters are pretty delicate
Just make sure your not putting too much physical strain on any of the connectors
Also PCie 4/5 drives can be problematic depending on the quality of the cables.
You can only trust pcie 4.0 signals over short cables or with a redriver
Best thing is a AIC if you can spare the slots.
For PCIe 3.0 drives, look into PLX cards and you can run mutiple drives with one slot.
There is also the LSI 9500 for pcie 4.0 drives.

>>106646913
Since you already have a 1440p@170Hz IPS monitor and don't want OLED, the only upgrade paths for you are VA like the KTC M27T6 if you want HDR on a budget or 4K MiniLED M27P6.

>>106646915
It's the nature of the beast, you can always order one off Amazon and try it out and return it if you don't like it.
But if you're ordering a MiniLED IPS and not using the FALD all the time there is almost no point in buying one to start with.

Yea, if you only want default EXPO/XMP it's all good.
FCLK is just infinity fabric frequency.
UCLK div is setting which allows you to run high frequency DDR5, mostly not worth changing.

12 vs 16 it's very likely (almost certain) it isn't going to matter over the cards realistic lifespan ( 6ish years) and even past that point just having a faster gpu would likely be more useful. Go look up modern comparisons of a 2060 6gb vs 1080 or 5700xt to see what I mean.

so its only one slot? is it a slot that uses cpu lanes? if so then its possible the x4 pcie lanes on your cpu's io die is unstable. you might be able to mitigate it by over/undervolting vsoc or it might be FUBAR and require a cpu rma

AM5 contract frames, what are we thinking?

>>106647256
Expensive but if you can afford one go for it.

>>106647159
>5070 is + $100 for upwards of 30%-40% more
NTA but this is basically the case in my country: cheapest 5060 Ti 16GB (MSI) is ~490 euro and the cheapest 5070 is ~620 euro (Inno3D). The 5060 Ti is so much slower that I'd say by the time you crank settings and resolution up to fill 16GB of VRAM it's going to run at sub-30 FPS.

so FSR 4 for RDNA3 is a thing now on windows

>>106647326
Yea but in many games it doesn't work at all, even with optiscaler.
It's limited to DX12 right now.
Image quality is much better than FSR3.1 tho.

Thing is I already RMA'd the CPU once. This was before I was messing with the U.2 to M.2 drives. Don't know what happened, didn't even have PBO or anything and it just died one day. Still using the same RAM and mobo that I had with the dead 7950x3d.

In my diagram you can see how I have things. HOWEVER it should be noted that the ACPI error and unbootable to windows is not EXCLUSIVE to when I use the U.2 to M.2 drive. Even if I put a spare M.2 drive in the slot labeled "SKIP" it results in the same issues.

I also found an interesting tidbit from the MB manual itself "* The PCIEX2 slot shares bandwidth with the SATA3 4/5 connectors. The SATA3 4/5
connectors will become unavailable when a device is installed in the PCIEX2 slot." however the most I have ever occupied would be 3 of the SATA slots for 3 HDDs which is below the amount indicated in the manual. The behavior persisted regardless of how many drives I had connected. Last night I had only 1 HDD connected, the SN850X and the Optane boot drive and it still resulted in issues. Today after moving the drives around I have no issues and can restart fine. I even reconnected my other two HDDS. It really is strange behavior that is hard to simply blame on a connector. It seems the slot itself is bad. I tried messing with bifurcation to 4x4x4x4 (which shouldn't change anything) and manually setting all the PCIE slots to 3x and it still resulted in the issues if any drive was plugged into a slot labeled skip. All is working today, but it really confuses me.

>>106647658
As a bonus tip, don't be scared of going second hand if you find a great deal. You might be able to get a used 3080 or 3080 Ti for 300 bucks. Unless you get literally scammed with a non-functional GPU that either died on its own or got fried by unsafe voltages during OC, there's nothing to worry about even if it's been used for mining.

>>106647256
I was thinking of getting that silicone thermal paste guard since it would function like a gasket but one of the reviews mentioned it melted

>Had any more fuckery with yours since the firmware update?
nothing has changed with the updates
the annoying things are as always 1) the blackscreening thing 2) the game bar which you can mod in service menu 3) pixel shift is slightly meh maybe can be modded 4) menus are not the greatest because os again 5) matte screen is okish but can also be fixed if you want

so 1-2 is the only real most annoying things

entirely depends on how cheap other oleds are and the features they have

>>106648026
oh and I guess pixel fringing can still be added to the list of issues

>>106648026
Its pre tax so $634.94 to my door based on my local taxes.

Thanks for the update, didnt see that post.

Yeah the other options for a comparable OLED in its class are easily $300-400 more at this point.

I am still hesitant desu, its a lot for something I really dont need at all, and those glitches are a bit disappointing for the price point.

My IRL friend has one and he loves it but he also doesnt use it a ton currently due to his work and kids. He didn't mention any of the issues you have been having but clearly its a mixed bag with them

One of the main things is 32" is a touch big for my desk, and it seems like the G81 might be a better choice, although I have no fucking idea how you found them for 499 for one. Shits are highway robbery here in burgerland

>>106644986
>I have RMA'd the board before and they said it "passed tests"
It could be a faulty board issue if they didnt replace yours with a new one despite what they say, or if they did replace it, maybe its a design issue. I'm leaning towards some motherboard fuckery going on if its consistently that same slot having problems.

>>106648168

>>106648145
Yeah they ballooned up in size with the 4080 and 4090 since Nvidia told aibs early on to design for 600w tdp for the 4090 and they reused the cooler for the 4080. The 5080 and 5090 continues that tradition of four slot coolers

>>106648177
It was the cheapest by at least 50 euro than other options. It doesn't run particularly hot, the highest I've seen is 77C, but often around 70C in real world gaming and not "artificial" load like generating batches of images in Stable Diffusion.

>>106648077
The workaround for the black screening is to use the hdmi port instead which allegedly should fix it, it's a dp thing with nvidia, allegedly
allegedly amd gpus might not have these issues

the workaround for an annoying game bar is just changing the setting so it does not auto pop up in service menu with color control app, there is also settings for pixel shift and stuff you can mod, you have more mods too like brightness things idk if they even work

I would say possibly the starting the monitor and having a black screen flicker is less annoying than having a buggy forced 16 hour pixel refresh thing which is exactly why I wanted to this this instead of other ones

kinda annoying it does not ship with a usb-c out either for dp alt and so on, no 3,5mm jack either

matte is just worse than glossy but it does reduce fringing a bit which is good

hard to say the pricing has been even cheaper than another sale on the philips 32" qdoled, so it's been the cheapest 32" 240hz qdoled here ever so far

if it was even cheaper than this I would keep it due to it just being ridiculous

>One of the main things is 32" is a touch big for my desk
I'm barely using it a 50cm distance right now, 60cm desk I don't have it all the way back
32" is not that large, alot larger than 27" though which is kinda small too
I need a new desk later

>G81 might be a better choice
keep in mind they have an alleged horrendous coating which is way heavier and oilier than g80sd, which has a pretty good "matte" coating, it's like bordering glossy from the side if you see reflections

>although I have no fucking idea how you found them for 499 for one
that was the 27" and it was on a flash sale, both the g81sf's and the g80sd sale price since last black fridays and so on when they go on sale and on samsungs site has been like 1k€ here, that's the sale price, without a sale they have been 1.5k€ consistently
which is all way too much

12GB VRAM isn't an issue for the vast majority of 1440p game settings, and the ones that cause problems don't deliver a noticeably superior visual difference.

Asus gave me a little support, but it's too big to fit on the PSU shroud and too small (fully extended) to reach from the bottom of the case. Should I get something else to support it? The PCI-e slot is 'reinforced' though, but I'm not sure that's enough.

Aye I read about the G81's coating being ass and definitely a downgrade compared to the G80. The matte doesnt bother me a ton since the way my office where my shit is is setup there is a decent amount of light from behind me facing the display.

I feel like most of the OLED monitors have some flaws or issues or another and any other alternative is $1000 and up.

I was hoping they would have gotten better since it has been some years since they were introduced but they are fairly stagnant in price and features, annoyingly.

>>106648478

Oh yeah more things, having a remote is so vastly superior to navigating a display compared to the things behind it, not that you should need to once you have done it one time on a PC but still, makes one want to get a tv instead in general more, which is an upside, even though the osd is not designed for a monitor and lack so many quick settings that could have been possible with the standard Samsung remote, but anyway

Also people have reported the monitor does not become recognized some times after pc off and stuff, forgot it was with HDMI or dp, never experienced it

And yeah the monitor does not have ddc/ci support

I'd say yes if you're upgrading to ge 5070 Ti, but it's worth waiting for Zen 6. You will probably have to wait for over a year.
Maybe get a 7600/X or 9600/X during holiday sales and resell it when Zen 6 comes out.

>>106648580
ASUS OLEDs still cost an arm and a leg, unfortunately. Can damn near get a 55" TV for the price of one anymore.

And yeah I dont want to deal with a cheap OLED to save me a couple hundred when its not worth it long term. I know they all use the same couple panel manufacs but the way they interface with them is what is worth considering.

27" is convenient because I dont have to fuck with my monitor arm mounts like I would with a 32, but thats not a big deal, really. I do like the idea of the pixel density of 4k at 27" but they are more expensive than the 32"s or as much so bleh.

This is why I have been sitting on my hands just biding my time desu lol.

Oh, one more question, have you been using the hiding taskbar on it? That alone is something I really dont wish to do

>>106648605
They are usually fairly consistent here apart from a couple sales per year. In the case of these Slamsungs, they are clearly trying to move the old models out, which is why the G80s keeps going down on price right now.

gunna be a linux machine

I'm setting up a partlist for my friend who is new to PC gaming and playing games with streaming on Discord. His standards are not high (1080p60) and he isn't (yet) interested in any especially hard-to-run games. Right now, the list has a 9600x CPU and a 5070 GPU (it's priced well at a local store). I want to use the remaining wiggle room to better futureproof it in case he does start trying prettier games later (or >120hz framerates, which his monitor is capable of), and I think upgrading the CPU from 6->8 cores would be the right call.

Would we be better off with a 9700x for $100 more, or a 7800x3d for $150 more?

Why a pcie5 ssd? For video games do 2x16 or 2x24gb. I don't know enough about am5 to suggest a motherboard but surely you can find one for less than $500. 1000w is overkill if you don't plan on upgrading the build, the psu that costs half that (or less) will last just as long.

just plan your consumption around when something you have becomes a problem. i built my current pc 8 years ago and it only recently started to become a problem, I think i spent like 4500 on it at the time and it was top of the line. now i don't feel bad that i am building a new one and making it overkill for what i am going to use it for. i also completely forgot about new computer technology after building my computer though, that's an important step.

>>106648825
>would you recommend just dropping it to 64 (2x32) and getting cl30 instead of cl32?
Going by your other replies I would recommend halving both the budget and the upgrade cadence. But, if you're dead-set on this, it should be fine. Just check the motherboard compatibility and update the BIOS if necessary.

Hey guys sorry for blog post. I learned most of what I know about PCs and building/repairing them from you guys and in this past year I've built 4 pcs for various friends/family and have taken to doing repair odd jobs for people I know to make a few bucks. I'm gonna be looking into registering an LLC to do some more business locally in town as a side hustle. Just want y'all to know how grateful I am for this thread and y'alls community/support. Much love and I wish you dudes the best, technology is fun!

>>106643348
the best fan control is just plugging whatever cables came with the case into the motherboard that were loosely attached to the case fans, and letting the BIOS figure it out. Its what i did, no regrets.

>>106649020
most of the monitor shills/autists ITT who sperg out about the latest gimmick-tech in monitors happily suffer issues like blinding levels of brightness because of their buyers remorse. I'd honestly just consult AI or tech review channels on youtube for monitor recs, and read the comments over anything anyone says here.

>>106649028
>he's gonna try to make his own pc repair store and fix retarded normies pcs for a living
oh you poor soul. I'd suggest watching a channel that repairs laptops, that'll be the majority of your work if you want to take it seriously, and they require alot of specialist parts and components, also you will need a crazy amount of tiny-storage containers and lots of magnetic shit to hold onto metal gadgets.

>>106649008
You don't need that motherboard, you don't even know what it does or how to use it. You're wasting 90% of it's potential. You don't need that storage, you aren't going to use it.

>>106649028
Good luck but realistically you're probably not going to have a good time if you actually need to make money off of it.

Why did you change the video card? You're already getting a mid tier one you don't need to go lower. And you can buy whatever you want, it's your money. I just think if you are going to over spend do it on parts that will make an impact.

I'd probably upgrade other components like the PSU for future upgrades before the CPU. Make sure the RAM is lowest latency and whatnot. You don't gain much for that extra hundred with the 9700X in gaming, and is the extra ~8% perf at 1080p really worth another $150 for the 7800X3D?
I'd probably still go with the 9600X then take a look at what Zen 6 has to offer since that will be on the same socket.

>ill build and service only desktops
youll get shit pre-builts and dell/hp shit, same deal as laptops except you can actually repair them for the most part but youll also get very little customers since most normies are on laptops
either repairng, servicing or building for you to make any money youll have to scam your customers by giving them shittier cheaper parts so you can actually make a profit

If that is the only thing you'll be doing, there a few things you should consider.
First, it's possible your touer has a USB port on it that allows you to plug in an external hard drive. Plug it in and enable to FTP, SMB, whatever your router uses, and you're done.
After that, how much stuff are you storing? The answer changes whether you can look at boards that just fit an SSD or whether you need SATA ports, or even PCIe ports for expansion.
On CPU you can get by with the weakest of the weak if it really is just for serving files. An Intel N100 is a popular choice because of the incredibly low wattage and so low power bill from having an always on device.
Just be aware these things often spread out into more than file servers.

I'm trying to put the BIOS update on my pc (newly built), but when I put it as in MSI.ROM file, it quickly shuts down.

what are the average temps for a 9800X3D? im not using paste but the sheet from thermal grizzly and I was at 45-50C but right now im at 55C. curious if its worth it to de-lid and or do some other method to lower temps. unless what im getting right now is normal
