I have a quote for a C210 with 6 RTX6000s in it. It's 3ru...
Did I make a mistake getting a sff gpu when I have a large case and could have got a regular size gpu for the same price?

>>106754539meh. That card as I know it isn't even that much smaller than most. Probably not worth dicking around returning it or anything like that.
>>106754561>wishing violence and death over cards that display graphics on a monitor screenthe only nigger ITT is you. get a life
>>106754539Maybe. Sff doesn't automatically mean it's crap since noise depends on the fans used and default fan curve
>>106754539and potentially worse cooling since it has a smaller heatsink
>>106754113who would pay for a 9900X for workstation when a 265kf is cheaper and outperforms it?nonsensical OP
>>106755044You're arguing with a brand-loyal schizophrenic

PCI-E 5.0 for GPU>2 or more NVMe>As many PCI- lanes as can fit for the cheapest price, (at least 1 x4 gen3 card)>A token USB socket>Fastest LAN possible, 5 if possibleSo far i've found the MSI B850 gaming. Can i go cheaper? Since i don't care about wifi or USB all that much

>>106755044niconigger is just an AMD shill.
Trying to nab a RTX4060 used for 270$ off facebook marketplace, good deal?My only other real option is shelling for a 500$~ 5060ti 16gb
Day of atx 3.1 psu being delivered for my 5070.>Woke up to monitor having a vertical purple line down the middleFuck.
Still building am4, bitches don't know about my long-life robust non-x3d parts.
>>106755427I think you've got it.
>>106755676What does a new 5060 run in your country? Nominal MSRP is ~$300 but obviously your local market price may vary.
>>106755846about 300$ yeah, honestly way better deal, thanks random anonDidn't even think to check lol, for 300$ that's a really good buy
Some anon recommended to disable PBO as soon as I got the 9800x3d installed. Is there much difference in performance with PBO active and disable?
>>106755897PBO is an overclocking tool that changes power limits - it shouldn't be enabled by default. Just leave everything stock until you bench+stress the system. Then enable EXPO (obviously) and retest. After that you can fiddle with PBO if you want to change the power/efficiency curve.
I decided to build my PC around intel Core Ultra 9 285. How fucked I am?>whyNever bought ryzen before. Don't want to step into unknown territory.>why not K or 14900The colder the better. I don't need maximum performance, but rather a stable new chip, that will be working for me for the next 10-15 years.
>>106756046>I decided to build my PC around intel Core Ultra 9 285. How fucked I am?It's fine, just don't expect any upgradability on the LGA 1851 socket. That's a single CPU generation motherboard you're buying into.
>>106756046Arrow lake is fine tbqh. It's not frequently recommended because AMD is slightly better overall for client applications but it's not a /bad/ product by any stretch. I would say to get the K version to get access to the full clock/voltage range (you can limit it yourself). Plus it's cheaper right now.
>>106756046core ultra isn't gonna last 5 yearsthough to be honest a 9800X3D probably won't either
>>106756046Core ultra 9 285 is a very strange CPU. It's built with very advanced tile packaging technology and tsmc N3B but has a lot of latency bottlenecks in how it's connected that it performa no better than a 12700K in games, provided you have fast ram. With slow ram it's about the performance of a 12600K. Honestly a 12900K or 12900KS would be a better daily CPU IMO unless you get the 285 and it's motherboard really cheap
>>106756097Probably the only thing I'll upgrade would be next generation videocard, 6090 or 7090. I doubt I'll need to change CPU.
>>106756128Then you better get your 8k display ready because that CPU will be a huge bottleneck for those GPUs at 4k and below
>>106755942Thanks anon
>>106754539The card will have worse thermal performance than average but on the plus side, SFF cards tend to hold their value better on the used market.
>>106755044My question is why are you building a “workstation” with a consumer CPU? You either don’t need a powerful CPU or you should get a threadripper. GPU does everything that most people need nowadays.
>>106756046What a weird thing to say. That’s like saying you wouldn’t buy a corvette because you’ve never bought GM before. What the hell does that have to do with whether or not it’s the best fit for you? What did you do the first time you built a pc? Do nothing because you hadn’t used them before?
>>106755897PBO overrides amds power limits so you can push the chip further as the boards can handle more. Of course you will probably hit any one of the other potential limits first such as fmax, htfmax, and of course the tmax. You can raise fmax, htfmax may not apply to your cpu and tmax is sorta fixed. You can still play with the curve optimizer / boost clock offsets with pbo itself disabled.I like to run a negative boost clock limit so it hits around 5ghz, boosting over 5ghz is silly.
>decent enough cheap micsanyone got any recommendations? most ones i see that people recommend are 200-300 USD which is a bit insane
>>106756231Logitech G435, if you can’t afford $30, then save up until you can.
>>106754561>SARR YOU MUST BUY NJUDEA SARR PLEASE DO NOT REDEEM AMD!>>106756196anyone looking at a threadripper to do XYZ tasks, has no need to come to this general. Even knowing what a fucking threadripper IS alone, is enough to transcend the need for most peoples advice in this general. And it goes both ways, anyone needing to be told what a threadripper is, doesn't need one.>>106755044a 265kf has no upgrade path and the motherboard for a 800 series will be good for another entire generation at least. Also i doubt any intel-aviv cpu will outperform a 9900x in productivity outside of a couple of niche programs that always favoured intel cpus.
>>106756245ok i stand corrected, the 265kf definitely outperforms the 9900x productivity wise, but not the 9950x, or 9950x3d. Not even close, it even gets beaten by other intel cpus like the 14900k.
>>106756264retarded animal fanboy subhuman niggerjeet DEMANDS you pay twice the price for AMtalmuD for WORSE PERFORMANCE YOU ARE A NIGGER265k cheaper than 9900x and outperforms it 285k cheaper than 9950X and outperforms it AMD NIGGER PAYS MORE FOR LESS PURE GOYCATTLE
>>106756245Ryzen CPUs are a total nonstarter for productivity due to how bad Ryzen's IO is, every AMD mobo is a joke and totally gimped for lanes
>>106756231Best way to get baseline quality is to skip your mobo's probably shitty ADC by using a USB mic or plugging a regular one into an external audio interface. Even a basic USB C dongle can be a massive improvement. That's enough if your goal is to avoid raping other people's ears during calls. If you're doing content creation, the more expensive stuff is way worth it.
