Anyone tracking the Biwin opal series? 2000 TBW is pretty crazy for a fairly "budget priced" 2 TB nvme drive. I'm wondering what the catch is? Do these fuckers have high failure rates outside of the write/read limitations inherent to nvme drives?

Could you guys help me choose a GPU for up to about 2300PLN from the website below? I'm having trouble with all the weird titles. I've already sorted and price capped the entries.

He and I have the same memory modules. His 6750 XT is running slower than my 1080 Ti.

>>107261436
They are all different brands of 5060TI 16gb and 9060xt TI 16gb
Either pick the cheapest 5060TI or try to find a review that compares 5060TI models and pick whichever seems to have an edge

>>107261613
depends on what you mean by fine. i just randomly mentioned in the last thread that i was in that exact position and my two 3600mhz kits together would only run at 3200 without errors >>107260660
from what i gather this is typical. 16 extra gigs of ram without having to pay for an entire 32gb kit is worth it though

>>107261620
spent more money on the motherboard than on the cpu, really should get a 5700x3d or a 5700x

>>107261613
im on 4x8gb 3200/16 ram, no problem putting them at that on expo (they are 2400 base i think) but i assume that if i wanted to push them further they might give me trouble

>>107261613
Max clocks may be limited with 4 sticks. I had to overvolt slightly to get my 3600 CAS 16 kit to run stable at its stock settings.
I don't think AMD can do hybrid dual-channel like Intel, so 3 sticks isn't a thing. (Intel will do dual-channel for 2 sticks and prioritize that RAM usage, and then use the 3rd stick in single-channel mode. I believe AMD just drops it all to single-channel. [Though I may be wrong])

>>107261405
Impossible to know.
Me personally I only stick with SSDs from brands who have a stake in OEM business. Samsung, Micron, WD, seagate, etc.
These companies have a reason for their numbers to be accurate and to be reasonably reliable because the reliability of any OEMs PCs and servers depend on those SSDs and they don't want excessive RMAs

Unless you have a reason for needing a high TBW and want to see if they aren't lying, I wouldn't be interested in any of the random Chinese/Taiwanese brands you see that only serve DIY/retail sales

my guy they just bout out all NAND, they will buy out all DRAM production next. Its not about sellers lowering their prices, its about them not having shit to sell you because there is no one making it because the silicone supply is cut at the start of the supply chain.
Soon enough your options will be to either scavenge phones for RAM and than play backer with green plate because only phone companies with long-term contracts will get the silicone or to hunt down scalpers who haven't cashed out.

>So this Eagle, Saphire, Steel Legend don't matter?
Thats the names of the models and brands Eagle is from gygabite, Sapphire is a brand their models are usually pulse, pure etc, Steel Legend is from Asrock. So sometimes those names show you if they are from the better or more budget lines of those brands.
As i said try to find a video or article that compares 5060TI build quality, see if any of those stand out in such article, else just pick one on vibes, the chip will be the same, maybe one with 3 fans?

all true. I hope paypigs get what they deserve after this AI rabbi bullshit. these datacenters won't need this much stuff tho it's some kinda glowop because squad made too many faggots buy PCs to play an unreal engine 5 shooter and boomers are trying to carrot on stick them away from gaming.

good, computers hsould be used to advance the human civilization and not for random nerds to watch porn and play vidya

AI is an arms race, they will spend as much as they want to win, but they will lose to the chinese in the end, and the rest of the world will celebrate.

>>107261832
thermalright is fucking goated dude, those massive 150mm ty-150 fans are thermalright fans i bought in like 2017. they max out at like 1100 rpm but also make a wonderful wooshing noise

same thing with cougar with their old vortex fans. they're extremely solid fans that have a very pleasant noise profile even at 1800 rpm

i cannot say the same about noctua and they cost astronomically more than their competition

>>107261662
In Biwin's case, they are the OEM manufacturer for a few different brands (Acer, HP and Lenovo mainly). They seem to have a good reputation, but I've never bought anything from them before.

The reason for the high TBW is I was going to use it as both a scratch disk and a project drive for my engineering simulation renders. In a busy month, that can end up with ~10-15 TB of read-write.

honestly it doesn't matter as much as it used to when there were brands and models that were to be avoided at all costs. the spendier options will generally be a little cooler and quieter but perform within margin of error of the cheapest ones.
if you do look around for a 5060ti roundup that contains some of the options (this short list I found is far from exhaustive, I'm sure there are better out there) you should prioritize noise over tiny differences in performance from the brands trying to one-up each other with 50mhz ocs

>>107261866
This is horrible when actually building your PC. Nobody talks about that. Get a cooler that's more like that one on the right, way easier to build with and have to hook up fans etc.

>>107261972
you simply put the cpu fans last after mounting the cooler, I know how annoying it is to plug the cpu power cable after you have your assembled tower in the case

>>107262037
What the hell are you talking about, that surely is impossible in a case like the 4000D airflow. Have you even build a PC before? You put the CPU cooler, including the fans, on the motherboard first. I was talking about daisy chaining the case fans and having to plug them into the motherboard.

perhaps the great AI shittening will result in games being made for lower spec hardware and try and reduce ram usage

Are DP cables necessary or should i just stick with the hdmi cable i got with the monitor. Its a 200hz monitor btw

How much is that of your budget? i remember you were in poland and it was like 5k poland coins?

consumers are 100% to blame for GPU prices gradually increasing every generation, because every 2 years they bite the bait of "20 more fps at 4k!!!" and think it's reasonable to spend 1200 on a 5080 or 2000 on a 5090.
the fact that jensen found an even bigger sucker to sell his snake oil, the AI consortium and the US government, doesn't excuse gamers from being so gullible and unreasonable with their purchasing
pc hardware and videogame toys are to manchildren what shoes are to women, you go to those places that discuss chink handhelds like r/SBCgaming and you'll find autists that buy literally every thing that gets released and own 10+ handheld pcs, and they are always americans, germans or brits, yeah, they are to blame too

>>107261783
Out of those the only 5060 TI that its worth is the INNO3D X2, even then thats a little bit expensive so the Swift 9060B for 1589 or the Saphire Pulse are good options, if you only do gaming i think you could live with the 9060 XT but if you ever wanna mess with blender, AI gen, or do some work/streaming the 5060 TI its better, but again anything above the 1949 for the INNO3D is overpaying, only other reason to take the 5060 TI over the 9060 XT is if you are sure you'll be using that pc after the next 5 years as nvidia is more future proof in terms of features or if you really really care about upscaling, RT and PT.

The motherboard is not a big deal, but if they are similarly priced a b850 might last you "longer"
Another anon mentioned that the cpu cooler but the 9600x doesnt bring his own, so dont skip it
if you can find a more suitable ram then the rest is fine if accounting for a more limited choice of parts, you can also check for other cases, i always recommend the montech 903 but there might be cheaper suitable options

>Memory suppliers like Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), opens new tab, SK Hynix (000660.KS), opens new tab and Micron (MU.O), opens new tab are already facing shortages of older dynamic random-access memory products after reducing production to focus on high-bandwidth memory, which is necessary to make the advanced accelerators that power the global AI boom.

The new "normal" yes, they will scrap everything they have for rare earths before they conciser selling it to consumers. Best bet is that someone overproduces and we get a market crash because otherwise it will take several years after the fact for the prices to normalize.
Also if AI bubble pops you main concern won't be RAM & SSD prices, it will be beans & rice.

AI bubble is nothing but reddit tier bullshit and stock manipulation, the real schizo theory is that they are pushing everyone into cloud computing and making sure hardware gets too expensive before people figure out what they can actually do with the amount of compute power current hardware provides, open lengugae AI models have been getting progressively shit and that is not a coincidence any model that could become good enough to threathen an industry and disrupt the economy quickly become closed and quickly degrades as government interference happens the real goal is that no one is able to run anything sophisticated locally

I just remembered i installed my ssd without the standoff. Im at work right now, is my ssd cooked chat?

Nope, bubble has both western and eastern components, a good metaphor would be a tiktok retard video, american is holding the grenade but the chink is the one filming it point blank. USA will get blown the fuck out but Asia is not coming out unscratched. These two combined are the only manufacturers of silicone goods on the planet so no matter how far you are from the splat you will feel it.

Can't use negative voltage offsets to undervolt with that B660 board.
Just set a 125W PL1 and PL2 maximum power limit for the 14600K and leave everything else alone.
You could adjust CPU AC/DC load line in the Ai Tweaker tab (DIGI+ VRM or Internal CPU Power Management) if you can access that section.
But you also need to make sure the AC/DC LL values are set to the voltage regulator's correct Load Line Calibration level, or this will trip Intel Current Excursion Protection and downclock your CPU at high CPU loads.

These videos will cover the topic, many tuning options will be disabled in that ASUS Prime board.
The more noob-friendly ASUS CPU tuning feature automatically syncs the VR LLC to the CPU's AC/DC LL values, but I don't know if this feature is available for PRIME boards.

What's the deal with RAM overclocks? I have cl30 6000 2x32GB with a 7800x3d and 5070ti. Is it really as simple as turning on expo in the bios? Will I actually notice a difference?

>>107263227
yes yes it is, no no you wont

>>107263227
Anything faster than 1600mhz DDR3 is unnoticeable in 99.99% of use cases.

>>107263227
Expo is not overclock. JEDEC defaults are extra safety mode.
If a ram stick, cpu or motherboard can't run at their respective advertised speeds it's faulty and should be replaced.
Manually settings speed (or timings) faster than advertised maximum is overclock.

please tell me there is a way to control a Lian Li Hydroshift AIO with Linux.
this shit is making me insane

>>107263301
Expo is an OC
Any thing that deviates from JEDEC is an OC of both the IMC and the DIMMs themselves.
Seems people don't understand that your 6000mhz cl30 DIMMs where originally 4800mhz that the DIMM vendor binned and is guaranteeing for 6000mhz

>>107263344

You plug your fans into it, plug them into the motherboard and not the proprietary controller, then you set the fans to 100% in your BIOS so the OS is no longer part of the equation.

anyhow adding a filter is often possible (not always).

in general:
-do not use compressed air in a way that it spins your fans, use your finger to keep the fan from spinning when blowing near it
-do not use a vacuum cleaner in there. this can create static and even if it does not immediately zap something it can set up a "latent failure" in ESD sensitive parts (pretty much everything in there)

there are lots of guides on cleaning your PC out there but remember: the more often you poke around inside the greater the odds you will break something

If that fails unplug every thing except your fans and test with only mainboard, no storage, no GPU and see if it will at least POST or get you back into the BIOS.

I just want UDNA already. give me 5090 amd edition.

My SSD in my desktop has been installed like this for the past few years with a screw (before I even knew what a standoff was) and I haven't had issues with it. You're probably fine, but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to redo it properly.

I had forgotten how much of a fucking chore installing windows is.

I'll move that fan over so the little jack isn't resting on it.
Maybe get a vertical mount so there's more space between the CPU cooler and GPU. Move the fans to the basement.

Either way. Now begins the long chore of software configuration.

Learning how to juggle debt is a good skill to have though. I remember when I didn't have any, I was terrified of going into debt or hurting my credit score. Already got a mortgage though so I finally said fuck it and started carrying a balance. Dramatically reduced my stress and improved my quality of life desu.

Apparently B850 is just top notch for 7800x3d + RX9070 combo. Plus 2 m.2 disks and wi-fi.
But there is just THAT much mobos to choose from I can't even. Not every mobo provides good diagram with pcie line sharing.

Based on reviews from some e-commerces
- some misses VRR heatsink
- shitty built in Realtek Wi-Fi card which tend to break

I am just tired at this point.

any historical equivalents on what's happening right now to DRAM?

how tight should the screws on case fans be to minimize noise?
does tightening them as far as possible make them quieter? or does it make them louder by moving the vibrations to the case?
does it even matter or am i being autistic?

I checked the manual. From my understanding it's for the 20 Gbps Type C front Panel connectors if you want the 60W fast charging and PD3/QC4+ support. I have exactly one type c in my case that I never used so far but I connected the cable cause I didn't like the LED being on. Maybe I should test it.

depending on the price
it would be above the 5060TI a bit and definitely below the 9070/5070
also keep in mind tha the card belongs to the previous generation for whatever thats worth after that scare amd gave people with the maintenance drivers

Install single RAM (you do have two or more right?)
Also you should be able to get into BIOS/UEFI screen.
Don't plug any disk to make access easier.

>>107265372
Check HWUB's B850 board comparison, but that board should easily handle a 7800X3D.

>>107265371
>doesn't matter at all for temps or airflow
it matters to the bearings on the fan and it makes the fan draw a little more power if the airflow is restricted enough

not that i >>107264920 clean mine often - thorough internal cleaning once a year or so though i do brush the dust and dog hair out of the intake slots on the front when i clean my desk about once a week.

thats not real FSR4, it uses INT8 insutrctions and has no way to access motion vectors which leads to artifacts, ghosting and blurrines as it has no way to deal with temporal antialiasing, basically is dogshit and you are better using the new XESS over it when it comes out as shown here.

>>107265241
>does tightening them as far as possible make them quieter

no. finger tight is enough, all it needs to do is hold that fan so it' doesn't move. if you still have vibration noise from your fans for some reason you can get some silicon rubber fan mounts to use in place of the screws (not recommended for CPU or GPU fans, case fans only).

With installing single RAM you might deduce if particular RAM stick is faulty.

the ram alone may be worth $100 or more and may continue to increase in value
