>>107203824Because it's AI generated.
>>107203824>>107203851>why this dude using two mouse matsImagine if mouse sensors worked better the more layers of padding there were stacked underneath them. You'd have progamers/streamers running setups that resemble the Princess and the Pea.
>>107203827You fuckers are so fucking retarded. I know Reddit is fucking retarded, but I would have thought you guys would be smarter.A million small writes is not going to kill your fucking SSD. Those log files are less than 10kb. AMD is not the only one doing this by the way. A mid range SSD usually has 200TBW before it's considered 'bad'. That means SMART is going to give a WARNING that your SSD endurance are getting low, that's not the total amount, it can reach 500TBW if you push it.10kb is 0.00000010TB. You have 200 TBW. It means it needs to write 2 BILLION times before you get a warning.So no, your log files aren't killing your SSDs. It would take 10+ years before you see any wear on an SSD just for the log files.
>>107203824Double precision
>>107203827>he doesn't use an optane SSD as a boot driveuser error
>>107203894This thing just came out and it has 4,800 TBW.SSD longevity is not a fucking issue at all nowadays.
>>107203947That SSD also costs more than a 5080
Does the manufacturer of the gpu matter?Like asus, pny, gigabyte, zotac etc ...
>>107204001For the base GPU card itself, no.If you want extra features, then yes.

AMD piggies are still oinking for FSR4 on RDNA3
>>107204026Bigger heat sinks so better cooling.Better OC, like bigger power limit.Bigger VRMs.RGB.If you don't care about any of these just get a founders edition card, if you can find one.

Once you try oled, it's overyou are forever cursed to be a slave to ityou might try and cope and go back to lcd and inferior displays, but in the back of your mind you will always know it's pure shitlcds are too slow, tvs too largeI kneel, I admit defeatI will go back to a 27"-32" 240hz-540hz QD/Tandem 4k/1440p OLED, there is simply nothing elseI was already at endgame, I might aswell just admit defeat and join the Republic right nowonly now there is the question if 500+hz is actually more preferrable to 4k, or if 1440p really looks that bad and the hz does not outweigh itI undervalued hz and 0 smearing, it's importantit might be overI should have bought the g81sf 27" or two of them when it was on sale for 499€, will literally never see such a deal again, could have even peeled the matte coating
>>107204181OLED freed me from CCFL slavery, I can finally buy new monitors after using same old shit for over a decade because literally every LED LCD was worse for my use case.>tvs too largeIt's the opposite, 42" TV freed so much space after using dual 24" I don't even need desk as big as before.
>>107204208I was considering taking the C4 42" pill, but had to test if 55" is viable firstI know now that it's just too big for no reason, not sure if 42" will be better since it's woled+144hz max anywaymight aswell go back to a 27-32" at this point
>>107204208I even think dual monitors would be more preferable, I think single screen window management is literally gay, so a larger screen would not really add anything eitherI think monitors wonI don't even know if I think gaming on a larger screen is bettertruly overthis might be the end of shilling the tv pill
I'm completely new to PC building, and I got all of the parts from a random pcpartpicker list I snagged from an anon's post almost a year ago while lurking /v/ (I wanted to try to build a powerful gaming PC that costs less than the shitty $2,000 MSI MPG Trident 3 10th prebuilt PC I bought in 2020, and the anon's list was perfect):https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QgJGb2I managed to assemble the PC a few months back and I tried Windows 11 on it (I despised it so much), so I put Linux Mint 22.1 on it instead. However, since this was my first time building a PC, I didn't know what I was supposed to do about the BIOS updates and settings, and there was way too much conflicting info everywhere on the internet. Most people were saying to updoot to the latest BIOS version, so I downloaded the latest stable BIOS file for my MB from the official MSI website, but that's where all of my problems began. After updooting, I noticed that if I disable secure boot and/or delete the secure boot keys, the text would start changing to chinese letters and the BIOS eventually freezes and locks up, and I would have to force a shutdown. I ended up making this meme because of it (I used shotcut):https://files.catbox.moe/tgczp0.mp4I've read so many bad things about the B650 Gaming Plus WiFi MB, and I'm considering switching to a different AM5 MB (looking for something that has good stability, good Linux compatibility, compatible with current parts, and no built-in WiFi because I'm sensitive to EMF). I'm also probably going to switch to another distro because the latest versions of Linux Mint is shit (21.3 was the last good version), and I'll give Arch Linux another shot before trying Cachy OS, but if Arch Linux still hasn't fixed the PAM bug (instant password lockout when using sudo or syu commands even when the password is typed correctly), then I'll have to go on a hunt for another distro. Picrel is the PC I built (first time I've ever built a PC).
I was thinking about just going to Microcenter tomorrow and buying (almost) everything I need for my PC.Or should I waitfag for black friday deals? Will there be significant discounts?
>>107203970Pretty sure I ordered the 9800X3D from that listing. It's the image in the OP.All the serials check out, it came in a tray and seems genuine. Won't know until I get the MOBO and PSU later in the month. But, it's not a brick at least.
>>107204063with inferior performance and image quality to RDNA4
>>107204181I'm not going OLED until Samsung releases an OLED version of their 57" g9.
>>107204347
>>107204447cheapest 5070TI in germany seems to be 750€ so for that price would be a steal, the question is "how used?, what model? how comfortable are you buying 2nd hand tech?" etc
>>107204500i wasn't judging im on a bunch of 2nd hand hardware i would walk on cinders to have a chance to buy a 5070TI for 500€ or fucking hell 400$ as you posted, too bad im far away.BUT those are 750+ cards, that kind of drop in value doesnt scream super safe buy to me.Just do you due diligence anon, good luck
>>107204384It's not that bad. It's better than native still in both quality and fps.
>>107204181I'm still alright with glossy LCDs with good contrast ratio. The biggest advantage of oled displays is its many glossy options available on the market unlike LCDs
is it fine? i cant find any cheaper ram than this that is 64gb, other ram are super expensive.. above 100$+ from this one (360$)
>Today my pc humbled me, please listen my cautionary tale of how my hubris brought me low.>I always thought i was at least decently pc savvy, i have offered help in these threads of stuff i knew about and learned from others...>I had problems with my gpu, constant crashes and problems, none of the advice on the internet help.>But anon do these crashes happen even when you have the gpu at factory settings!?>Yes they do, i tried the same apps and programs after having closed Afterburner>And there it was, i didnt know that i needed to reset the settings first then close afterburner, on my hubris on my stupidity, my vanity, my ego, my pomposity and complacency, i wrongly assumed that once shutting afterburner down since it dissapeared from my taskbar shortcuts any change would be undone.>Alas.... that lasted for so long>At least there is a happy ending, i learned something and now those crashes are gone with a more conservative OC of the card.>Learn from my tale of woe and always keep an inquisitive mind for those demon machines we call computers hold many secrets still.So yeah i wasted a fucking year roughly with an overbearing OC that was causing crashes on games cause im a fucking retard underserving of love.
Can you guys help a monkeybro? What PC from here should I buy if I want to run everything on 1080p 60fps for the next 5 years? https://www.lojanovaera.com/amd-ryzen-7000-series
>>107204576Sure, get itThough tRCD and tRP of 40 suggests that this is based on older Hynix 16gbit m-die which overclocks slightly differently from a-die
2nd hand 5070TI german anonSomething happened? you deleted the posts, im legit curious, did you find something wrong with the listings or what happened?
>>107204376seriously thoughbeit
>>107204376buy RAM/NVME now while you still can, everything else can wait for sales >Will there be significant discounts?3% on your case fan for sure
>>107204599Jannies were jelly
>>107204591You would have caught it almost instantly if you had used a monitoring program like hwinfo64 to show the GPU voltage, GPUs, temps and power...
>>107204605GPUs too since they contain ram and prices are about to rise for those
>>107204618absolutely, im a retardyou can't imagine the amount of shit i tried cause it OBVIOUSLY COULDNT BE THE OC CAUSE THE OC PROGRAM IS CLOSEDim not joking that it humbled me that something so simple caught me like that
>>107204630think if it this way, you're still retarded but less retarded now
>>107204477https://files.catbox.moe/eew135.mp4
>>107203947should I get that or an sn850x? or samsung 990? I usually use samsung but idk
>>107204595obviously none of the super cheap ones with 3050s and shitnone with a 5060 since the 2 i checked were 8gb versions, i wont even bother checking them anymoreSo its either 5070 and 5070TI models, i dont think i saw any with 9070/9070xt which would have been worth a checkPicrel would be my pic, one with a 5070 the other with the TI, i skipped the ones with 64 ram cause its a waste in your case.NOW for 1080@60hz you can do with less but getting a 5070/ti now gives you some room, you can get a 1440p screen later on your life and move to 1440p@120hz which those cpus will do for you.If you are on a way tighter budget let us know, i just dont want to buy a fucking 5060 8gb card in 2026
>>107204677Dios mios... el /g/oblino de /pcbg/...
>>107204628It feels like GPUs will lag quite bit as the real hit on them should be in the first two quarters of 2026. Meanwhile RAM is already flying to the moon and each day adds like 20% on top, any scalper worth his scalp is buying, once these creatures will figure out that NVME will take the biggest hit next year they will start scalping it too killing the market for good.
>>107204677Thats good anon, i apologize we had some problems with necroposting not that long ago and yours was a weird ass postAgain, i apologize.....but that image could have been made by anyone....Alas i dont fuck with the penguin so there is not much advice i can offer other than just clearing the CMOS so you get the mobo at factory settings if you believe that updating the bios is what started it allAgain i have no idea what the fuck im talking about
Straight up, I want to buy all the PC parts I want to upgrade my PC with now, I know I'm in a bit of a spotty financial situation, but I just don't see it getting any better with the current market.
>>107204723ok
>>107204347>the shitty $2,000 MSI MPG Trident 3 10th prebuilt PCI get that consooming is fun and all, but couldn't you have just stripped her down and jabbed a throbbing single fan 4060ti in the slot and maybe unloaded some sextra RAM in those there open slots, that way the old bitch could have competed with your newer thiccer machine.
>>107204605alright I'm too lazy to wait I'll just buy everything now
>>107204694Nah, I can afford the right one. Thanks anon. I will wait tho to see if it's cheaper on BF but I can afford it now.
>>107204774I assume the rest of the pieces are the exact same and just switching the gpucheck the price difference of a 5070 with the TI version in case either of them is overpriced/underpricedThe CPU they chose in literally all of them are not... "gaming" focused cpus not the ones you would usually see recommended in these threads, and i have to assume the rest of the builds are also made with profit in mind, in case you can at least think about maybe building your own, but i have no idea how available specific pieces would be in brazil.Also keep in mind picrelThey dont list a cooler so i assume they use the stock cooler which might not be enough, also might want some extra fans, maybe you can talk to the shop when you order it, so they can add other pieces or whatever (again like a real cooler)
don't mind me, just testing to see if i'm banned
>>107204826>are not... "gaming" focused cpus not the ones you would usually see recommended in these threadsnothing wrong with them either, just is weird to see that not a single unit is made with a more "gaming" chip
>A520>inb4 nooo anon you can't put a high end gpu in such low end mobo!11
>>107203770My LF3 VRM fan started rattling horribly after a week of use.One email to Arctic's support and they told me they're gonna send a replacement VRM fan to me immediately. That's surprising, I didn't think it was gonna be that quick and easy
>>107203807>turn on TV>immediate ad for some total crapI don't know how tv plebs accept it
>>107203894>just endlessly constantly write to your ssd for your monitor to work bro!lol AMD garbage
So, when are we going to see an onslaught of super cheap surplus office boxes and laptops due to lack of Windows 11 support? I was told there would be a flood of cheap computers....
>>107204995they were scrapped for rare earth metals and recycled.
>>107204347MSI mobos only officially support Windows 11 They don't care if anything else doesn't work
>>107204723do it nowshit is not getting cheaper and we are 1+ year away from ram dropping in price again
>>107204995Because of ESG they don't dump those computers anymore instead they are shipped straight to africa to be harvested for elements
>>107205006So the merchants win again. Sad.
If I buy the GPU I want I won't have enough money for the monitor I want If I buy the monitor I want I won't have enough money for the GPU I want
>>107204957Their support is great. They will even send you free thermal paste if you ask.
I thought this thread would be full of black friday deals by now but it's just doomerposting
>>107204747Last year, my troon brother told me that I would need to do some soldering in order to upgrade the power so that it can handle the newer gpus, but he never told me exactly what I needed to solder. Unfortunately he began treating me like shit back in august, and then he permanently severed family ties between me and him/mom in september, so I can't get any more information from him. That's the only info I have in terms of upgrading the MPG trident PC.
>>107205069Sorry, black Friday is cancelled. Please understand.
>>107204957That's why Arctic AIO is recommended to people.Competitive price + good customer service.Mounting hardware isn't the best for single CCD Ryzen CPUs, but it's still running the 9800X3D under 80°C @ high loads.
>>107205012I kinda figured as much, which is why I'm looking for advice on a new AM5 mobo that supports the current parts I have.
>>107205062buy the GPU and just get the monitor at a later date
>>107205099this GPUs are low right now. seconds before they rugpull black friday goys and double GPU prices because muh RAM
>>107205069why do you think anything will have a deal anymore when the "sales" are 24/7 and rigged to rape you in the ass for the past decade and more? u have boomer brain. imo best time to buy is june to now. thanksgiving to april is when they supply shortage and fuck everything up.

AMD is dropping the ball on their desktop APUs. The best one only has 12CUs, but the APU they made for the PS5 has 36
>>107205275I'd ride the year out if the GPU is still good enough for you.RTX 50 Super cards are rumored to be delayed to the second half of 2026, and NVIDIA will probably raise the MSRP because of the memory shortage.
