Anons, I want to buy gskill ram (F5-6000J3038F16GX2-FX5) and on Newegg its for $229 and sold & shipped by Newegg while on Amazon its being sold by a third party "Racerspeed INC" For $225.

Which site should I buy the kit from?

>>107068733
The drivers work so bad that Steve could barely produce and edit the NVIDIA hit piece on his 5090. Quite a shame.

I slapped a 9070 XT into my rig running a 3700X + 16GB RAM. What now?

>>107068828
You play some fucking games you bitch. Congrats

>>107068828
You download 25.10.1 specifically because 25.10.2 is a buggy mess and games just crash any time you try to use Adrenalin

>>107068828
Download cyberpunk and enable path tracing to get yourself excited for another round of upgrades

>>107068816
I never liked using them, but that is the "official" G.SKILL seller on Amazon. It feels fishy, but I had no problems using Racerspeed INC twice.

>>107068833

Tl;dr
Had case #1 with AIO mounted in front of the case with fans pushing in air through the radiator
GPU(4070ti)/CPU temps were always fine
Never even reaching anything worrying
GPU would only turn its fans to full blast during some AAA games that I tried playing with higher frame rate/no DLSS

Bought case #2
Swapped everything over
AIO radiator mounted up top now
3 front intake fans + 2 exhaust fans
Played same games
GPU still goes ape shit with the fans

So was swapping cases a huge waste of time

>>107069387
is the AOI in your new case in intake or exhaust configuration?
new case may be blowing all the air over the back of the gpu since there's so much exhaust on the top and back creating a low pressure area

for 1440p. gonna wait for black friday so i can maybe snag some of this shit cheaper
or take the L and just go 1080p so i can downgrade the card and maybe cpu

>>107069408
Forgive me
I have 3 intake fans in the front
and 1 exhaust fan in the back
and 3 fans attached to the AIO and are intake (blowing air out up top)

AMD drivers really suck, if I use anything other than the 25.4.1 drivers for my 9070xt I have lots of issues.

You can get a CL36 6000MT/s memory kit if you need to trim costs; it's not that big of a performance hit if you're not planning to manually OC the memory.

>>107069387
Which 4070 Ti card model is it? If you're not seeing any benefit from the new case, I'd return it.

>>107069429
>intake (blowing air out up top)
so they are pushing air from inside the case through the rad to the top of the case? or from the top of the case through the rad to the inside of the case?
either way I would try swapping the AOI config because you can't really change the front and rear fans from being intake and exhaust, respectively

>>107069485
yeah they are pushing air through the radiator and out of the case
I've already tried using a front config and this was my first time using a top config for my AIO
I'm believing swapping cases was pointless since it's pretty much the same exact temps yet there's more airflow in this new case

>>107069503
an AOI in any reasonable configuration should be more than enough for most cpus, it just comes down to gpu which is a matter of case design as much as overall airflow
a case with good bottom intake fans like a fractal torrent will have better gpu temps than a traditional case with a power supply shroud on the bottom

>>107069521
considering both cases basically performed the same
returning this case would be the best choice right?
although I get a better setup with the radiator being up top
my main concern was the GPU fans going ape shit
and like you mentioned, a better case with bottom intake fans will help out way more

>>107069483
yep gonna re swap tomorrow and return

>>107069446
Is that the best/most stable drivers for AMD cards?

all this AIO talk reminds me
does orientation between
radiator at the front of the case with the tubes up top vs being mounted at the top of the case matter that much?
I see too many varied opinions online

>>107069446
Same but nvidia, Im still on 561.09 from 9/11/24

Just bought a 1tb SN5000 for $US 64.99 did I get ripped off

>>107069695
tubes should go upwards from the cpu mount / pump if possible
if the pump is above where most of the water is (the radiator) it's easier for bubbles to go through the pump and ruin its efficiency

>>107069704
If it was cheaper than the SN7100, not too bad I guess.
SN7100 1TB costs $60 in the US.

>>107069387
Are you genuinely retarded or what? Better air flow in a case doesn't make your GPU run cooler under load. It's the same reason why engines on a car are fucking hot even during winter. All the heat is produced there and it take time for the heat to dissipate. The reason your GPU ramps up in games is because it's under load, that's fucking normal. The only time I would worry is when after 1+ hour under load and the temperature still increases.
If you don't want to hear your GPU's fans, then watercool it.

Was 74-80 everywhere I looked

Get MSI Afterburner and learn how to undervolt (+overclock) that 4070 Ti.
It will make your card run more power efficiently.

GPU Core offset can probably handle +120~150MHz, memory around +800~1000MHz in the main Afterburner offset slider.

Set a voltage cap between 925~975mV, the lower the more power efficiently it will run and generate less heat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOU
https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia%20Overclocking.md

If that is too complicated to follow, you do the GPU Core & Memory OC I mentioned earlier, and set a lower power limit on Afterburner (75~80%).

>>107069756
I have a fully air cooled build and the gpu fans are way quieter than the case and cpu tower fans even at 100% speed
only huge 350W+ gpus should be loud on air cooling

>>107069808
I undervolted the GPU as my first step before I tried swapping cases. It was already at 80%.
I knew I could return the case if it didn't work out so I just figured I'd test it myself.

>>107069826
It sounds like you have a dual-fan 4070 Ti; those have thinner coolers too.

So i bought a 9600 (non X) and i can see the die temps hitting 95c with the stock cooler, for now i dialed down the PBO curve to not boost above 75° and now i can feel some micro stutters, i'm guessing i should get an aftermarket cooler right

Do not buy be Quiet CPU air coolers for AMD CPUs; their cooler designs prioritize Intel CPU cooling performance at the cost of poor AMD chip cooling.
Even $30 coolers like the A620 Pro can be better than the cooler you picked.

Why are you donkeys admitting you have a zoomer attention span? I've built a great 5070ti+9800x3d rig and I'm enjoying all triple A games of the last 5 to 10 years in 4k lustfully. Skill issue!

I need the best monitor that's 1080p and not an oled
120hz at least but it doesn't need to be giga high
preferably around 27 inches

>>107070020
Same. I built my PC 3 years ago, 14700k, 4080, and I barely play any demanding games. I sometimes play MMOs, like FFXIV but that's mostly it. I haven't touched any really demanding games in a long time. Mostly playing indie games.
I really regret spending so much money on my PC. I even went full white build, with a glass panel case and RGB. I hate how it looks now and I turned off all RGB that I can. I've been thinking of buying a 5U rack case and just shove my PC in my server rack so I don't have to see it anymore.

My 9950x3d is going to last forever lol

i don't plan to keep up with vidya soon so it's going to be great knowing all future devices will be able to play games from 2025 and before without issue

>>107069031
as other anons mentioned the 8gb will have trouble keeping up with textures at 1440p
Consider the 5060TI 16gb version or a 9060xt 16gb
Should be about 120 or 90 extra $ respectively (roughly).
It sucks spending more but its money well spent, a 5060 for gaming will fall short too fast

At least there's always a chance you'll want to play something which actually requires a good rig, and if nothing else, the smoothness and higher speed of the system is pretty gud already.

Perfectly fine for a while
The best bang for your buck would be the 5070TI or the 9070xt
In fact on the price of a 5070 i personally would pick a 9070xt instead which should pbe priced similarly
But after yesterday's news any recommendation of amd has to be reconsidered a bit.
You'll be fine with the 5070, you'd be better with a 5070TI (which would be the top dog of 1440p and entry level 4k); and you ll be fine with the 9070xt but its amd and Lisa Hu might enter your house in the middle of the night and steal the support to the gpu in the next few years.
Let us know what you decide anon.

>>107069551
nta
Does the new case have a psu shroud / bottom mesh that you can attach more fans to?
Those would blow air from the bottom straight onto the gpu, that might help
Do you have a fan curve for the gpu? At what temperature does the card start going into helicopter mode?

same, you should come over so we can jerk off under RGB lights

>>107070251
It does, that was going to be my last attempt before I returned it.
Going to try one fan directly under the GPU once I'm off work.

I set up the curve too and it seems like the GPU overrides any curve I set when it reaches a certain temp / usage % which is as soon as it touches 80c or passes 90% usage (which it rarely does)
It can be 79, 78, etc and the curve helps keep the fans at a decent volume but once 80c hits for even a second, the fans ramp up to 100%.

How long do you think a 5070ti will last at 1440p with reliably 60+ fps? I'm fine with DLSS quality and turning down settings as long as it doesn't look like a total mess

>>107070352
At max settings? 3 years or so
At medium/high settings just to play smoothly? probably 6 to 8
Its a card capable of doing decent 4k
It should be doing 1440p until the heat death of the universe anon
You will be fine

>>107070352
Enough to last you 5-8 years which is the usual recommended time to upgrade from one setup to the next
I personally upgrade every 10 years

You'll be good especially if you don't mind using DLSS

The 3070 still gets ~60FPS @ 1440p minimum and that card was released 5 years ago, so I'd say 6 years comfortably or 3-4 if it's AAA slop at ultra settings.

>>107070273
Disclaimer im stupid and dont know shit
It seems like a decent point for the card to go full retard no?
If it reached 80º its probably still rising if the fans don't start to work
Which temp would you be comfortable with before the fans go in full speed? 90º?
Im just trying to learn, i have no advice to offer sorry

>>107070366
>>107070377
>>107070382
Cool, thanks. Without my glasses on I can only barely tell the difference between 1440p and 4k at arms length anyway.

>>107070385
Your gpu may be ramping the fans based on memory temp while you are looking at the core temp
if the core is hitting 80 regularly the memory may be 95+
either way that's hotter than I'd expect, should double check that all three fans are working and nothing weird is going on with the case

Should I return my 5070 and get the 9070xt for 150$ more? I may have to pay a little fee for the 5070 because I've used it over 30 days. I'm happy with it though but the 9070xt is going on sale right now.

>>107070400
do you need the extra 4gb ram? are you considering running linux? can you get a good deal on a high end 9070 like a sapphire nitro+? if yes then it might be worth it

>>107070400
The xt is a better card overall (model depending) but thats something only you can really value, money is different for everybody.
That said in my country the cheapest 5070 is only 80$ cheaper than the cheapest 9070xt (553€ to 605€)
150$ seems steep

The 9070 XT has ~20% more performance, but I doubt you'll spend less than 20% more with the extra $150 + Fees to make it worth it especially if you're already happy with the card as is. If you were gaming @ 4K it might be more worth there for the VRAM.

Thanks. I play esport mostly on 1440p so the extra vram isnt needed but it's a stronger card that I can afford. I don't plan to keep the card more than 2 years anyway so this could be a sidegrade that I may regret.

1440p 165hz+, some gamedev and gaming. Is a 5070 enough for now, I wanted to wait for the supers or next gen while holding a cheaper gpu for now, I save 250$

>>107070707
CMR stands for conventional magnetic recording, as opposed to SMR (shingled magnetic recording)
It does not apply to SSDs
There is a vaguely similar dichotomy for SSDs with TLC vs QLC, with QLC being slower to write and having less durability
But for the purposes of loading models, it doesn't matter that much - all you really care about is sequential read speed.

If you don't play video games made after 2008, sure. Meanwhile, I have been playing games on my 4K 144Hz display for years now. With that old of a PC, I would have been missing out on that.

Zen 6 won't be cheap, and the X3D variants will take another quarter or two to launch.
Intel is launching Arrow Lake Refresh next year; Nova Lake-S is more likely to be a 2027 product.
RTX 50 Super is probably launching late Q1 or Q2 '26 .
RAM and SSD prices won't get better.
Watch ASRock "refresh" their entire AM5 board models near Zen 6 launch (to address potential hardware defects).

I’ve just finished upgrading my pc from a 6750xt to a 9070xt and added 16gb of ram to have a total of 48gb. Also had to upgrade PSU from 650 to 850 watt. Now when I play games, specifically elite dangerous or DCS, when I’m close to the ground in a plane or ship I’m getting a lot of static and audio distortion through my headphones. As soon as I move away from the ground the static stops and audio clears up. Any ideas on what could cause that? I’ve got a b450 MSI tomahawk max and 5700x if that matters. It’s started about a month after doing the upgrades. I’ve tried re-setting and cleaning my ram but it hasn’t made a difference.

>>107072950
have you tried connecting the headphones to a different port (usb?) some of the new parts might be creating a bit of static near the port that is routing the sound?
I hate minor sound issues, they aren't enough to upend your stuff and halt everything until they are fixed but they remain annoyances forever

>>107072950
>added 16gb of ram to have a total of 48gb
why would you do that
i would say that your IF is unstable

>>107072963
Yeah I’ve tried the jacks in the back and front, no difference. It’s almost like when the gpu is rendering the ground for whatever reason it creates a huge amount of interference with the audio chip in board. It also passes through to my monitor (4k tv) if I play sound through that instead. I’ve got a light undervolt on the gpu and a moderate over clock on the cpu. I’ve also noticed that sometimes when I shut the PC down usb ports will continue to supply power, so my keyboard stays lit up. Doesn’t do it all the time, which is weird.

>>107073012
Problem remains even when the extra ram was removed. DCS is ram hungry I was planning on buying 64gb kit but with the price of DDR4 now, fuck that. It’s all Corsair ram 3200 cl16.

>>107073038
DDR4 3200 is a complete crapshoot, there’s basically a 0% chance those two kits have the same memory chips in them.

>>107073055

For immediate context, my monitor is 2560x1440@144hz, I'm not really concerned about budget, I just want to avoid spending unnecessarily, and I live in the USA. My use cases are gaming, large image editing, large video editing, and other regular daily task stuff.
I don't know what kind of motherboard I need.
I've heard names like "B850," "B850E," "B850F," "B650," but I have no idea what is good for my purposes.
Can anyone look at the parts I've chosen so far and let me know what they think is reasonable for me and my use cases? I want something that's reliable and won't cause hardware issues.
Feel free to tell me if there's any better alternatives to any of the parts I've chosen so far, too. I'll figure out a case and PSU at the end. This is the fourth time I've built a computer but every time I never know what motherboard to use.

You should check on forums of the programs you use while editing how the 9070 performs
I know for example that ppl in here use to say that amd is weak on Blender. And goes without saying that you should pick the 9070xt
Mobo 650 and 850 (860 870) are just the 2 current motherboard lines for ryzen cpus on AM5.
Basically the 850 will be more modern with native faster PCIE and overall (usually) more modern wifi usb ports etc

I made this mockup list, im not in the states so i limited it to amazon just in case, feel free to shop around and im sure some other anons might comment on it.
We both picked a fairly bottom of the barrel build of the gpu, feel free to spend an extra 50 or so and get a better model if you think its worth it.
Still misses case and psu (850w+)

Frankly depends on your budget and needs.

>>107074257
The issue is many apps simply refuse to support AMD CPUs to the point where even if you contacted the devs once you tell them you are using AMD CPU/GPU they will tell you to fuck off. For example AVID doesn't support anything AMD at all. It might work, they don't care if it does or doesn't. Blender's support remains a joke.

>>107074854
Not him but an 850 cost minimally more and gives you room for upgrades.

To those of you with a MAG B650 Tomahawk, how's BIOS version O treating you?

I'm currently on version E. I once attempted to upgrade to a newer version (I think the newest at the time), and it caused a thing where waking up from sleep mode made my PC blue screen after a few minutes.

Then again, I was also on legacy boot. Maybe that had something to do with it. Even though I'm on UEFI now, I was never in much of a gambling mood.

First time building my PC since 2001. Haven't been using at all. Worked only on macs and linux, mostly work and programming, never been a gamer (besides Diablo II which I ran on Wine). Finally decided to build something since I had some spare cash. Tried looking for decent build first, but got horrible headache of all the drama with these fucking tech youtube channels so I decided to figure it out on my own. Of course didn't want to spend too much money, but wanted something decent. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 was a must. Also fast storage. How did I do /g/?

What the other anon said, right now a 750w is cheaper than 650w (in a lot of cases) as they have become the standard.
850w are on a similar boat that are just ever so slightly more expensive than 750w and allow for a bit of extra headroom
You probably would be fine with a 750w and this thread has a tendency on overshooting on the psu but it will be just a bit more expensive and it can only help.
Nothing wrong if you decide for a 750

>>107074957
>Of course didn't want to spend too much money
>buys expensive shit
You could get a cheaper motherboard, RAM, storage, CPU, CPU cooler. Don't fall namebrands.
For motherboard you don't need to go for an ATX build when you only need one PCIe slot, go for a mini/micro ATX or something instead. And ASRock brand isn't that bad.
RAM, don't buy Corsair. It's so overpriced.
Storage is the same, Samsung is overpriced, you don't need that 990 PRO.
The CPU cooler could also be cheaper.

>>107070251
>>107070273

Update:
I installed a fan right under the GPU over the PSU shroud. Tested the fans at low, mid, high speeds.
It definitely cools the GPU by 5-10 degrees. Before it was sitting around 75-77c while under load.
Now it'll sit around 65-68c which is great but my GPU will still reach 80c when it reaches around 90% usage during short bursts of heavy load while gaming and the fans will go ape shit for a few seconds then calm down.

So it seems no amount of new cases, extra fans, or anything will help this 4070ti not sperg out.
It seems it's really reliant on DLSS to not reach that high usage percentage and not reach 80c.

The only upside with this new case is that I can finally mount my AIO's radiator at the top of my case unlike my previous case, where I had my radiator at the front of my case with the tubes up top + no other intake fans since I had no room.

Debating whether it's worth keeping this new case just over this aspect.

>>107074957
Where are you and whats your budget?
The other anon has a point that some of your picks could be switched by cheaper sensible replacements even when i dont agree on the mATX mobo that he proposed, but thats a personal peeve of mine.

>>107070990
AI data centers planned for 2026 are strongly affecting HDD and RAM prices. Also SSD prices, but maybe not as much (yet).

>>107075133
Better overall temps can only help, and depending on the amount of money you paid for the case i would just accept it and move on instead of moving all the shit back to the previous case.
I asked you something on the previous thread, dont think you answered me.
You mention the card starts going apeshit at 80º, when would you want it to start going all out with the fans? dont you think that 80º is a good point to start trying to curb the temp raise? If the fans were to start on full throttle at say 90º wouldnt that be "too late"?

>>107075113
>>107075137
There were more pricier options for these parts and I thought I was getting a good deal, didn't know I overpaid. To get the biggest case and board was my conscious decision, I wanted enough room for whatever I might want to add or to tweak the cooling.

>Where are you and whats your budget?
Eastern Europe, the whole thing cost me 1400 eur

But for the storage I looked everywhere and that 990 pro was the fastest one. Didn't want to cheap on that. Could've gotten a different RAM though...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your build its just that there were cheaper options (availability in your country pending) that probably you would have never noticed a difference.

If im to critique the parts i would have gone with a 9600x which is 25€ more expensive on my country than the 7600 and maybe a cheap b850 board which might have been another 20 or 30

Again absolutely nothing wrong with what you are getting. Its just that it probably could have been a bit tighter.
Enjoy it anon

The case was only $79.99 which isn't breaking the bank

I have the fans set at 70% even while the temps reach around 70-75c.
The fans are actually not loud at all around this speed and the GPU maintains it's temp fine.
It's only when the game demands more from it and the usage reaches past 80% that the fans turn up faster. It doesn't matter what I set the curve on in the program, the GPU overrides this and turns on the max speeds.

I might've applied a bit too much thermal paste to my CPU and now it's at 60 degrees idle, why? (AMD 5800XT) The CPU fan is literally at full load. I live in a hot climate but right now it's only 28 degrees

Is it possible for thermal paste to go bad?? I used one I had stored for quite a long time but it didn't feel weird or anything

There's no such thing as too much thermal paste.
1. Make sure your CPU cooler is properly making contact. Tightly screw your cooler. If it's an AIO make sure the pump is working.
2. Make sure your system doesn't have a virus. Boot in safe mode to check.

I use a UPS, it doesn't fix crashes. All it does is it keeps your PC running when there's a power outage. If your PC crashes while you still have power in your house then it's a different issue you are having.

Fuck I didn't want to but I played some Battlefield 6 and after years of not playing any shooters I want to get back into them. All my shit is outdated especially my 1080p60 monitor.

I'm gonna get a barebones 'MINISFORUM UM890 Pro Mini PC' and I need to pick out the ram. I know how desktop ram works and assume it's the same for mini-pc's. I'm looking at 2x16gb DDR5-5600 SODIMM CL40, which I assume is the best but I'd like confirmation
any other things to look out for with this mini-pc in particular?

Thoughts on this?
It's extremely outdated. But I don't need a strong system when I just want to run my NAS. I need ECC memory which means I need a Xeon CPU and board. DDR3 doesn't bother me, I am not running anything in it that requires fast RAM, I am limited to HDD and network speed first before RAM becomes the bottleneck.
At least 2 x8 PCIe lanes (1x16 and 1x8) is also good, my bare minimum but I don't think I'll even be running any more than that. 6 SATA ports is a bit low but I could always expand.

There are newer boards out there, but I plan on sticking to X10s since X11s are still fairly expensive and pretty much gives the same features (ECC, at least 2 PCIe lanes in x8 or more and multiple SATA ports). The other X10 boards gives DDR4 memory, more SATA ports, and at least 1 more PCIe slot but the prices pretty much doubles.

I ask about a UPS because on the last two computers I owned (both while living in this house I'm living in now) I'd get crashes while playing games that are GPU intensive, my computer would basically completely turn off but the fans would keep running and I'd have to reset it. I discovered that reducing my GPU's max frequency stopped the crashes in almost all games except one. My theory is that the GPUs were trying to pull more power than my house could supply or something. In both cases I had PSUs rated for one or two hundred watts higher than necessary, so I don't think they were PSU issues.
Considering I experienced the exact same crashes on two different computers made up of all completely new parts, and the only thing common between these two computers was that I'm still living in the same house, I think it's related to my house. Please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere, I'd love to fix this.

>>107076342
You're dumb.
Power goes from your house, to your PSU, to your GPU. You said underclocking your GPU fixes the issue? Then look at your PSU. Does it have enough wattage to power your system? If it doesn't then even with a UPS and a shitty house (highly unlikely) it won't fix your issue.

>>107076337

I know that for desktop it's better to have two (and not more) but I have no idea how laptop/mini-pc ram works, can't hurt to ask. the chosen speed and CL is good too? 5600 CL40

What are some cheaper SSDs around 1TB I can use as a secondary drive? I can sacrifice some transfer speed for cost, no DRAM is ok. They can be M.2 or sata, doesn't matter (sata is probably cheaper)

>>107076342
as the other anon said this reeks of an overloaded PSU
always overshoot when it comes to the wattage. Moar expensive upfront, sure, but also likely w/ much better components that are going to last longer, paying up for the extra investment. Think 5-7 years into the future

X10 is about the bare minimum you'd want.
I use the same board on my router and an LGA2011 one in my NAS, when the BMC is updated you get the HTML5 remote control so it works on a modern browser.
The board I got from plusbaords was fully updated.
I used A-tech ECC RAM and it seems fine.
I think it's a decent deal if you want a board with server features. Once you use a BMC/KVM you won't want to go without.

Worst comes to worst, you replace it quicker than you intended, but what the fuck it's $80 once you factor in more RAM, you'll spend more on everything else.

I don't really plan on running a server or any VMs on it. I just need a dedicated NAS, OpenMediaVault with SnapRAID. Or maybe UnRAID, but I hate their payment model.
I have a ThinkStation P510 with a Xeon 2690 v4. It run's Proxmos baremetal and OMV in a VM. I really want to migrate my NAS out of Proxmox. So I'll have a dedicated NAS and a dedicated server.
And yeah, ~$80 isn't that much considering my PSU and case are $150+ for each.

Really wonder whether I should try out VA/IPS + MiniLED stuff or stick with a classical IPS+200Hz and more refresh rate.

>>107076780
>I'd go with a RTX 5060ti, and installing a new dedicated SSD to put my vidya in.
You said SSD but added an nvme, which is probably what you meant
I personally would buy a 1 TB nvme, or skip the drive altogether (as in postpone it) for now and put that money towards a better GPU than the 5060TI
While its an upgrade over your curent gpu its also just about the lowest gpu on the totem pole and you are sure to outgrow it.
But if you can't swing it or if the extra drive is mandatory then just ignore me, the new GPU will be a big upgrade either way. The rest of your build is very solid to the point that the 3060 seems out of place

>>107076780
>I'd also like to get some monitor recommendations.
Thats out of my depth but i just went to pcpp checked the boxes of what i wanted (2k 166+hz ips 27" [or 32?]) and then went one by one checking the ones in my budget.

I would like to caution everyone that AMD GPUs really seem to be mediocre for anything related to AI right now.
You might see something like "DirectML" and think your AMD card can do the same tasks just a little slower than a Nvidia card with CUDA, but everything is just solidly worse.
Stuff just doesn't work or isn't supported, while the Nvidia boys get all the best official and community support.
Just got done wrestling with openAI's whisper and trying to get some basic transcription done...had to fallback to the CPU because it just doesn't work.

As for the GPU I don't mind staying low, I don't have any particular needs. I just needed something better than my 3060 that was up to current standards.

>>107077309

Blender benchmarks use scenes that are efficient. If you're a normal person you will very easily soak up all your vram.

nvidia cucks out on vram, perhaps so amd can stay relevant.

If you can find a 7800X3D for much cheaper that's usually the better buy at it's only ~5% slower on average. Either way, you can run the chip with a cheap dual-tower air cooler instead of AIO.
Do you have already applications that you know can take advantage of 64GB of RAM? If not 2x16GB is more than plenty if just gaming/general desktop stuff.

This would be my recommendation (found a 9070 XT for not much more than the cheapest 5070 that has much better perfromance w/16GB of VRAM):

Alright, but I still say the 7800X3D is the better buy:
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/29.html

As for AIOs, the Arctic LFIII PRO is tuned for hotter Intel chips and is subotimal for hotspots of X3D dies. Your best bets are any of Thermalrights options (doesn't matter which), the ID-COOLING FX360 PRO (currently OOS in SE) and the ENDORFY Navis F360.

You can pretty much guarantee they'll either be the same at worst or a little better as 24" panels are always the last size monitor makers spend any R&D money refreshing so they tend to keep using older-gen panels to scrape margins. 27" 1440p is where most of the mainstream competition is.

https://www.oled-info.com/lg-finalizes-sale-its-last-large-area-lcd-fab-tcl-csot
There's no such thing as a "Name Brand" LCD anymore. They're all made by the same 3-4 Chinese OEMs like BOE, Innolux, CSOT, etc. So the question is do you Chinese Panel Rebrand A for $100 or Chinese Panel Rebrand B for $150? That's how you shop these days especially at the lower-end.
