Continuing from the latest thread my build then looks like this:Cpu: ryzen 7 9800X3DBoard: Asus TUF gaming B850Gpu: asus prime rtx 5070tiDrive: samsung 990 pro 2tbRam: patriot viper venom rgb 32gb 6000 cl30Fan: thermalright phantom spirit 120 sePsu: cooler master mwe Gold 850 v3Case: msi mag forgeThank you for warning me about the asrock board.What do you think about the ram? is this one good?No overclock in mind, I will make it last many years, probably a gpu swap down the line, mostly for gaming an 3D modeling, sculpting, texturing and rendering.
>>106717348>and ran my stress testsIs this a real thing I need to care about? I don't remember anything like that when I built my first computer 12 years ago. How do I even do this, what am I supposed to be figuring out with these tests?
>>106720804if you're just doing the standard 6000c30 you can just download occt and run auto stress test
>>106720804>Is this a real thing I need to care about?maybe>I don't remember anything like that when I built my first computer 12 years agointel wasn't pushing their CPUs as hard back thenAMD was (FX-9590) but no one bought those>what am I supposed to be figuring out with these tests?if the system is stable or not
>>106720804right up until people decided to use ram that didnt work at the claimed speeds and there was a trend of "undervolting" you did not need to be worried, but here we are
Why do cringy PC-building youtubers/tiktokers call themselves "system integrator"? Hermano you're online marketer.
>>106720804I'm the poster you're replying to. I have never stress tested a build before, but I plan on selling this rig so I figured it was good practice. Like the other anon said, I just ran a few 5 minute OCCT tests. Could have been more thorough but I was satisfied personally.
can this piece of shit handle an i9 13/14k?
As a budgetfag with a relatively strict budget, should I go for a 'high end' 5060 TI 16GB (Asus Prime) or a 'low end' RTX 5070? (Zotac, I think?). I know that the 5070 will have better raw performance, but I am only doing 1080p, and I'd prefer a quieter card, which I assume the 'better' model 5060 will be.
>>106720906Both pretty quiet you dont need "high end" cooler for a 180W card. Either save money and get a cheaper 5060ti or the 5070. The 5070 undervolt pretty good and you can easily run it at the same tdp as the 5060ti without losing any performance.
>>106720901it's right on the edge of acceptablenote that they're using 125W PL2 in the power limited tests, which is not stock behavior on a 14900Khttps://www.hwcooling.net/en/msi-b760m-gaming-plus-wifi-a-cheap-motherboard-with-a-surprise-review/34do you already own the board? 14700K and a board that can handle higher power draw/memory frequency would give you better performance
>>106720948>do you already own the boardyeah and already have the 12700k, i was just thinking of a possible future upgrade i was thinking of returning it and getting an aorus board which i assume has better vrms but i really like my ps/2 keyboard
>>106720679bumping this, my build looks similar to this and i wanna know what other anons think
>>106720976i'd get a 14700K and set a power limit of like 200 Wshould keep the VRMs nice and cool and if you undervolt it will still maintain stock performance or betterall you get with a 14900K is 4 more E-cores (so the same as 1 more P-core) and a higher default turbo binthe 14900K needs higher voltage to run 60x than a 14700K needs to run 56x, so it's not like the silicon is significantly betternot worth it IMO
i have a 1060 6gb, feel just a tiny bit of need to upgrade but i'm a cheap fuck so should i wait? what's good on the horizon
>>1067210145070 super is worth waiting untill around Q1 next year if you have >600$ budget for the gpu.

Where are people buying their Windows 11 Pro keys nowadays?
>>106721014if you're not upgrading your whole system consider getting something used, i was looking into getting a 5060 but it seems as though a 3070 will preform better on my AM4 system because PCIe bandwith.
>>106721209I buy them from the AMD leaker man’s link, they seem pretty low priced and I’ve never had an issue.
>>106721209i buyded mine from newegg.

Anyone have monitor recommendations? It seems the only one worth getting is the gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P.
I know this might be a dumb question, but I'm looking into getting a new monitor, particularly an ultra wide curved one. Should I go with a OLED if I do anything besides play games/watch movies/surf the web? I draw/write a good amount and like to have multiple file explorer windows open with tons of reference up. I've read burn-in can be a major issue with OLEDs after a few years and I don't really want to replace a 1k+ usd monitor after after 2-3 years.
