i will use it for gayming and video editing
i have a 5070ti and have been using a dell e207wfp with a vga to dp adapter since i ran out of money after building my pc 2 weeks ago, and it was the only monitor i had lying around. I would continue using the dell but the refresh rate is dogshit
or are there better 1440 monitors? i dont like oled and the miniled looks really good to me but ips is also fine if theres a better monitor

If you are considering an AMD 9000 series GPU because you have been influenced by Reddit, Twitter or a wealthy tech YouTuber, it’s worth understanding AMD’s track record. While their GPUs are often great at beating cherry-picked benchmarks, they normally fall short in real-world gaming performance. Every year, an army of influencers target first-time buyers declaring AMD a godsend for PC gamers. Every year a small percentage of users get duped. Since almost all PC gamers use Steam, the February 2025 Steam statistics are relevant: AMD’s combined market share for discrete 5000/6000/7000 series GPUs is 3%. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s 4060 alone has 9% market share. This reality starkly contrasts with influencer hype. The reason is simple: influencers rarely play games and gamers rarely buy AMD GPUs. Experienced gamers know all too well that high average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, black screens, excessive noise and a limited feature set. It’s notable that AMD’s GPUs have not historically had these problems in consoles because, unlike PCs, consoles operate in a closed environment which is less dependent on robust drivers. Using influencers for hardware performance data is less effective than using foxes to babysit chickens. [Mar '25 GPUPro]

Anyone here have any experience with thermalright cpu coolers? Been thinking about getting a royal pretor 130 or a phantom spirit 120 se. Either of those are pretty cheap but would it be useless to spend the extra 15 euros on the pretor? Would be cooling a 5800x. Just wondering if the pretor could be a bit quieter with the larger fan?

Looking to get this parts list rated. For the cpu, I'll get a used one for 900 Romaniabucks instead of 1400 new. Add in a cooler (the used one doesn't have it), and the total is 4100 lei (938 usd) without a case (I also already have an ssd). Hopefully I can find a case that's not needed so I don't have to spend an extra 200 lei/40 usd on one. I'm using an AMD gpu because of Linux.

thoughts on a 27" 4k oled to pair nicely with a 5070ti build? The cheapest 32" 4k oled is $1100. Was just wondering if a few extra inches should really cost over 500$, and how much of a difference would it really make if you're sitting on a desk.

Want to upgrade my GPU but it feels like all my options are shit. I went from a GTX 970 and even with 3x performance I didn't really feel it, though I was massively CPU bound. I fear going from a 3070 to a 9070XT (70% uplift) will be a boost but not that big, though I won't get vraped anymore. I don't really want to lose Nvidia features but if I go with the 50 series I lose PhysX which I'm not exactly happy about even if I rarely use it.

More DIMMs = more stress on CPU's memory controller, so you might need use lower speeds and/or worse timings for stability.

Antec Flux vs Lain Li Lancool 207?
Flux
- wood looks nice
207
- built in gpu sag support
- kinda boring looking
- cable routing issues?
- I like how the bottom fans are sunken into the psu "shroud" area, rather than just sitting on top like the flux

They are almost exactly the same price in my country ($165 nzd = ~$95 usd, tax included). I'm leaning towards the 207 unless someone tells me the cable routing really is that bad.

It shouldn't lock you out of anything.
It's simply not guaranteed to work.
Unless you are very unlucky 3200 is just going to work even with 4 DIMMs.
DDR4 isn't as sensitive as DDR5 when it comes to using all the DIMM slots.
Sometimes you will simply have to raise the memory controller voltage.

I bought it because I wanted to start playing with ai video and I saw it on amazon for $140 each. my 32gb of ram wasn't cutting it. this was back ordered a month ago right before the most recent price jump to $300 per kit.
seems like it's not using more than 64gb though with the little testing i've done so it should be fine. How much slower is my current setup though? is it really that big of a deal to run it how I am?

>seems like it's not using more than 64gb though with the little testing i've done so it should be fine.
I don't think I typed that sentence out well. I mean my system doesn't seem to be using more than 64gb load, so i should be fine to return one of the kits.

Adjust pcpp to your country
It can maybe be slimmed down a bit but not much, in my country its 1300~ euromonies
So you are paying 200 more for a similar build in power but its all newer tech. And its all brand new.

>>107044652
Do you mean it doesnt have extra fans in the case beyond whatever is attached to the cpu and (i pray to god) an exhaust in the back of the case?
It would help airflow (and hence temps) to install a couple (or three) intake fans on the front of the cage, it will have a frame for them.
You just screw the fans the right way to they pull air from the outside into the cage and then connect their little wire to the fan controllers in the mobo (it will have several). You can buy the fans already daisy chained so you only have to wire one of them to the mobo.
As the other anon you can watch vids for that shit.

So you are paying 250 euro more for a brand new pc on new architecture (am5). less but faster ram 32 to the other pc's 64, less storage 2tb to the other pc's 4tb
The advantage is that in 2 years, or 3 you can buy a better cpu and just slot it in there and go on with your life. The second hand pc is on am4 which is a dead platform. The day you are done with it you are taking the 5070 out and throwing the rest away.

you can shove a 9950x3d and 5090 in there. you just have to undervolt and powerlimit it to the max.

>>107045208
if you want dogshit but with the highest perf per watt, get a 12100f with a h610 mobo from aliexpress.
the big downside is that you only get 2 ddr4 ram slots and the nvme SSD might not be as fast (this is kind of a big deal for pcie gen 3 SSD's, but for gen 4, unless you have a samsung 990 pro or a gen 5 SSD, it won't matter for copying files longer than 10 seconds because all SSD's slow down after the cache runs out and gen 4 is fast even at half speed, I think you could find a mobo with 1 nvme slot that's full speed, but 2 slots is always better).
The 8500g has the same power efficiency but I would not recommend it over a 8600g's APU, or a 7600x/9600x with a GPU due to the fact it reduces your PCIE lanes (it's complicated I don't understand what it limits, but the main issue is that the 8500g is overpriced).
If you want something stupidly overpriced, but good gaming temps, you could get the framework AMD AI max 385 mainboard for like $800 (you need a PSU, 120mm fan, and an NVME, and it has soldered ram, and it lacks FSR 4 but I think linux has a hack, the GPU is as strong as a 4060, which is pretty sad but it does the job for 90% of AAA games, and 395 is not worth it unless you want 64gb for AI which is 4x slower compared to a 5070 TI so we are talking like 4 tokens per second on a 48gb model vs 2~ tokens per second on a regular CPU).

It's not out yet, so it is unobtanium and expensive unobtanium at that. Not enough bays for my liking too perhaps. I was gonna get a Cooler Master Elite 370 and paint it because it is spacious, has good number of drive bays, has good enough airflow with 120mm fan mounts and even a 140mm fan at the front. Pure Base 600 is too airflow limited for my liking and I have no machine tools.

I can get some nice midi towers with 4-5 5.25 bays and 2 3.5 inch bays at the front, but again the airflow is the only problem.

To the Nico poster this is addressed to you. I come not as somehow who has battled with you but as just someone who came to this general seeking advice and I am here asking for peace. I don't have a big problem with the brand wars and other pasta that gets posted here. That kind of stuff is what every general has and it keeps them from being ghost towns.
If you want to fight over the OP and other things that's all well and good. It might piss some people off but it's not what I'm making this post about.

What worries me and I hope you can come to a mutual understanding with me are the necro posting of old posts asking for help.
While it might seem funny at first I think it could have a very negative effect on the general over time. I'm already seeing people questioning help posts and not being sure if it's worth answering their questions.
I've gained so much from this general, I wouldn't be able to get my computer half as well built if it wasn't for this place.
I would hate to see future anons lose out on that and be forced to search elsewhere for advice because people stopped wanting to be helpful because they can't be sure the questions are legitimate.

I'm asking you from one anon to another, just in this one instance please see reason and lets call a truce on this particular battle. If you aren't the one doing it I apologize, I know sometimes people will take advantage of a known poster and use it as an opportunity to stir shit themselves without getting noticed. If that is the case I ask whoever is doing it to please move on and let this place keep it's main purpose free from trolling.
Thank you for reading this and I hope we can move on and reach a positive outcome where everyone gets a little bit of what they want and the general thrives.
I'll post this a few more times in the future to make sure you have a chance to see it. No need to respond if you don't feel like it, all I ask is that you consider my words. Take care hope you are doing well.

there are going to be 6 hdds in the chasis
i have 2 arctic bionix f140 and 3 dynamic x2 gp-14
whats the optimal fan configuration

none of those should give you any trouble, however the answer to your question in my experience would be the kingston fury beast

>>107046636
Looks like you can fit 3x140mm in the front as intake and one in the rear as exhaust.

yeah you deserve to lose your money, decent refurb units are either sent out as replacements for warranty-jobs, like my current mobo is, or they're onsold to reputable sellers, not fuckin ebay.

Don't get me wrong, i love ebay, but i wouldn't buy high-spec pc parts from them.

>>107046668
Perhaps, but I felt like it was worth a try. Really don't want to see help posts going unanswered because people think they are just shitposts. I can put up with all the rest but that would kill the general.

I even opened up HWInfo to check the core usage, and none of the CPU threads exceeded 30%.

>>107046714
Im not worried about the fan noise, my pc has a total of 15 fans ranging from 60 to 140mm + aio pump and its pleasantly quiet
what worries me is the pwl clicking of the drives, so im opting in to keep the sound dampening top panel
>no basement
the conundrum stems from the huge performance difference between the fans
arctic fans have 3x the static pressure and a bit higher flow rate

Many professional/workstation cases had big tall feet that often would swing out to look cool

Make large holes on the bottom of the case and place 120mm fans to make use of the air gap granted by the feet

Heads up.

Apparently in a week or so this MSI 1440p OLED will be available @ CostCo if you live near one for $380 according to mailing flyers that are going around:

>>107046851
Usually 4-5 SATA devices per connector.

>>107046910
Nice but all I want are reasonably priced HDD's for the love of God.

>>107046913
I'm thinking about how even with custom cables that newer PSUs are impractical for my NAS
My EVGA G2 has 4 of it's connectors just for HDDs and they are fully loaded with 11 HDDs per cable.
Still need a few sata/molex on top of that to power some cards, so only 4 modular connections on the PSU would be kinda messy to figure out.

Luckily I have a spare EVGA G+ PSU so I don't have to worry for a long time, but I did buy it on the basis that I knew new PSUs will be clipping sata/molex connectors soon

Should be a nice QD-OLED with decent factory calibration.
The only notable issue besides burning/text-fringing is that MSI doesn't let you disable the Pixel Shift OLED Care feature.
But you can change how often it triggers. I think most people can get used to that.

You should also update the scalar firmware to extend the mandatory Panel Protect cycle from 16 to 24 hours.

I'm trying to make a portable pc to watch movies at my friends' place (tv + hdmi) and also experiment with things like Jellyfin before I invest in a larger, stationary home media server. Also I just wanted an excuse to try building a mini ITX.

Did I overlook anything? Is it overpriced/overpowered? In particular, do I actually need 32 gigs of RAM or is that excessive for my use case? Thanks in advance.

>>107047093
That means proprietary backplanes, SAS controllers or even motherboards depending if it's a full server or a JBOD
I'd have to buy two of them to be comfortable.
Despite the HDDs, a setup from non-proprietary parts will also be quieter, can use low speed 120mm fans versus the screamers.

Besides the case, everything can be replaced with a generic part.

How did you connect the 44 hdds

>>107047129

>>107047197
Not the anon you're replying to, but in my experience those enterprise parts end up cheaper. I usually go with HPE stuff (don't start with the paywalled updates, they're out there) and after a few years it's dirt cheap because of the volume. Also I've been able to migrate SAS arrays through their controller lineup going back to the Nehalem era.

You're not wrong about the fans though, the 2U disk shelves can be had for cheap but they are noisy and you can't change that without a lot of work.

>>107047129
> 5tb 2.5'' hdd $145.52

I'd just use a decent 4TB SSD. HDDs are a lil too fragile to be comfortable with using them in portable setups anyway.

hi /pcbg/, i bought one of those nvme enclosures from amazon (the brand is orico). i have like 3 or 4 sata 2.5" enclosures from them and they all work perfectly. but the nvme one has always kind of sucked and today it just seemed to totally crap out.

i plug it in, get a solid light and after 10 seconds i get another drive added to the system. but i cant open the drive, i get a cryptic "function error" when double clicking the drive and thats it. I tried updating the firmware on the enclosure but it still didnt work. I took the drive out of the enclosure and put it in my computer - works perfectly.

Can anyone suggest a high quality enclosure? It seems like the chinesium ones mostly all use a similar realtek controller, I don't know if thats the culprit but I'm surprised that there isn't really something that seems reliable. There are a couple of Asus ones but they are $80+, which is kinda steep.

>>107047051
I have
>C2 48" and 360hz 1440p qd-oled

I just wish tv's had higher refresh rates like monitors to 240hz. I like the qd oled color pop & brightness, but the woled tv white and 10% window brightness is better because its much bigger panel and beats out the monitors in this respect.

>>107047497
You need to check that the power button on the front of your case is properly connected to everything and just recheck all cables in general. If you triple check everything and it still won't boot you may have DOA PSU which can happen
