Upgraded from my ancient TN panel to IPS. Is this fucking normal? How cooked am I?

>>107265679
Are you sure that's IPS

>>107265679
Yeah that's what modern IPS is now. I told you, it's not 2014 any more, good IPS panels are only kept for professional displays. Everyone else get mid tier slop. OLED is the consumer high end, there is no IPS high end anymore.

>>107265679

>>107265686
Yeah.

>>107265693

Is waiting for the gigabyte mo27q28g monitor going to be worth $500? Is paying that much for a monitor really sensible even if it's a cheaper alternative?

Nvidia is worse at Vulkan than AMD?? So emulators?

>>107265679
fuck sake sorry to hear that anon. this makes me very paranoid to buy an IPS panel. I bought one years ago, it had bleed and an issue with displaying the color orange; it would have black dots scattering through that color. i took it back and bought a 1080p TN panel. just got a new PC and want to upgrade to 1440p, is OLED the only option to avoid this kind of stuff?

>>107265693
AW2725DM. It's not as bad in person but definitely noticeable in dark scenes. So far I don't mind though because I have an OLED TV I play AAA games and movies on this is just for browsing and some fps games.

>>107265679
Unironically that bleed is so bad you might actually be warrantable at reputable brands. You should always buy a monitor in person thoughbeit. I bring a laptop and use my car's inverted outlets to test the blacks if they refuse to let me test in store (they always do) then return it immediately if unacceptable. Still every IPS you're gonna get is gonna have some dumb chink child's little manufacturing error.

>>107265728
>Nvidia is worse at Vulkan than AMD??
at what? parallel proccessing? singel data multiple threads? warps? triangles? dense geometry? memory maganement? vector rendering? data compression? what scene are you even benching to claim shit like that, maybe the code is more optimized for AMD on a particular program or engine but to say shit like that is retarded

Why would you do that to yourself, you could have gotten any non-gaming 1440p and it would look miles better with same MS/HZ.
Or dish out ~$100 more and get a ProArt display.

I'll use it a few days and see if it bothers me. It looks alot less bad in person and I usually sit in a bright room and play cartoonish games like Valorant, Overwatch or WoW. Probably return it for a miniled VA if I can't stand it. I think buying IPS screen is like playing the lottery because when I watch/read reviews on this model people say it almost has none.

what I can tell you from my experience is that it shouldn't bother you even during dark scenes, if it bothers you - return it

>>107265706
horey sheets. i mean, when i got the BenQ I paid good money for it (BL3201PH) because I needed a good 4k display and it was a "budget" 4k at $1000, i figured by now the IPS market would have trickled down the good stuff to the consumer market.

>anon should return that IPS and get something else

This is ridiculous. A $300 board at MSRP that fails at such a basic level. Most people would pair a X board with a GPU that would most likely get gimped by bandwidth in PCIe 4.0. Banking it all on PCIe 5.0 (which only works in ryzen 9000, ofc) is bullshit.

>just want to see how bad it is relatively
that's the thing, you can't
unless the pictures you are comparing are taken with the same camera and settings, it's meaningless
even just a small change in camera exposure can make it look 5x worse
the average phone camera is calibrated to make pictures resemble a reference, which not only varies with every model, but also means it will greatly amplify a small IPS glow, but also reduce it if it's too bright
that's why there are so many pictures of IPS glow that look basically the same and why they all look so awful, despite being a lot different in real life

>>107266119

The idea that quality gaming IPS monitors exist died years ago and I like IPS you have to find professional ones though. VA is garbage no matter what anyone says I see even the so called good ones black smearing immediately and don't understand how anyone can possibly use them.

I was hoping I'd find some cheapish refurb 7950x3d for work and gaming but nothing has popped up. Realistically, what's the lowest price 7800x3d could reach these days?

I have been overthinking cases for days with my new parts just sitting here wanting to be used :( help

>>107266300
>7950x3d
Why though? That CPU has way more driver and OS issues with windows than the 9950X3D does.

7800X3Ds have dropped as low as $320 but they're back up now better hope for that BF drop again

>>107266260
always thought that a good VA panel is considered better for /gayming/ and /media consumption/ because better overall contrast?

agree that a good IPS is better for text

cheap displays of any kind are a crapshoot though.

Since RAM prices are fucked and i need to upgrade I'm thinking about reusing my existing DDR4 16gb kit.

Are the 5000 seres ryzen cpus still good? they seem like the last ones built for DDR4.

they are ok, but the X3D are extremely overpriced and hard to get as they no longer produce them even on the 2nd hand market,so its a waste of money going for anything else besides a 5700x, (some recent games need the extra cores otherwise the 5600x would be the best)

When you have an aio with a display with the USB slot and software.
Do you have the USB cable to be permantly connected for the custom bg and settings?
Also do you need the software to be running all the time for said stuff?

Why don't they just produce more RAM?

>>107266740
300 buckaroos minimum

>>107266924
why would they bother ramping up production (which costs money) when they have enough orders outstanding on contract to keep them rolling in money for the next couple of years?

>>107266924
Market uncertainty. The last time they did that due to a demand surge, it suddenly went down and they were left holding the bag. Just increasing margins for now nets roughly the same profit with reduced risk.

Don't use IPS monitors in a dark room; this is like using a QD-OLED monitor where sunlight is hitting the panel.
IPS monitors need relatively bright ambient light + a bias lighting behind it to fool your eyes.

>>107267270
>it only comes with the 3x120mm front fans, think adding a rear exhaust would be a good idea? ill be using a 360mm rad up top
Yes, it's helpful. Also, if you aren't necessarily wedded to the 4000D Frame's aesthetics there are cheaper cases like the Montech 903 MAX (also supports 360mm rads) that come with 3x Front Intakes + 1x Rear Exhaust preinstalled just as one example:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2MwmP6/montech-air-903-max-atx-mid-tower-case-air-903-max-b

>>107267270
I don't think the rear exhaust fan is mandatory for these new cases with good airflow, especially if you're using an AIO to cool the CPU.
But it will cool the case by a few degrees (probably 2~3°C max).
Don't spend too much. I'd probably buy a 140mm fan like the Arctic P14 Pro or the RS140 fan if you want to match the fan brand.
P14 Pro runs a bit loud past 1000 RPM, btw. Best to keep it around 800~900 RPM if you're a fan noise schizo.

This general sorely needs the monitor schizo back.
The display is the actual hardware you're staring at when you use your new/upgraded PC.
Get the best possible display that's within your budget. Don't be stupid with your spending, though.

Is it pretty solid, like it doesnt feel cheap/flimsy?
>>107267311
Ive been looking around at different cases, the phantex XT pro ultra seems like a great cheaper buy for getting more fans. But I do kind of like the new trend of mesh panels for the basements on say the 4000d frame, 207, flux, etc

I think in Premium category 9100 Pro should be added because they're functionally the same. The 9100 Pro is also the only one that offers top Gen 5 speed with cache and 8TB, the final boss.

Ah my bad. Looks like it's nearly double the price though. I forgot to mention the T710 as well which is slightly better than the 9100 Pro and also super cheap right now. I picked one up. There are a lot of good options in the gen 5 space but only two with 8TB. When the price is right I would pick the cheapest of the three. $170.99 +5% cash back on Amazon for a 2TB T710 was certainly right.

I think it'd be great if they slowed down the releases. A more realistic pattern would be midrange is skipped for every other generation. Moneybags can replace their class 80s and 90s every single gen, selling it off to 2nd-rate moneybags, however the common working man might pick up a midrange card and hold onto it for multiple generation cycles. Then it will be up to game devs to make their games properly unless they really do want to have a market size of just class 80 and 90 owners.

They might have one generation where they have no midrange, get burned for it, make a full range for the next gen afterwards, then try to do this again, and so the above pattern forms naturally.

fuck I cant decide if I want to switch to linux or mess with AI gen. I would rather get a 9070xt but 5070ti is better for work. I do art professionally and feel like I'm going to be forced to use AI but it still seems kind of shit and I dont know if its better to wait for more VRAM 2-3 years from now.

you should buy an NVME drive, it's an ssd you put directly on to your motherboard. 1tb will run you 50 dollars for one without a dram controller (thing that makes it a little better) and 80-100 for one with the controller. If you drive is already failing it's a good idea to do a fresh install, but drive cloning exists if you don't feel like it. if you care about dram on your NVME use the borecraft website in the op, if you don't just buy the cheapest one from Newegg/Amazon that's from an established company with a lot of reviews. one last thing is if you're a windows 10 user, if you clone your drive onto your nvme you need to use massgrave to extend your security updates to 2027. if you're doing a fresh install you should download "windows 10 ioT LTSC" from massgrave/wherever for security updates until 2032. check /fwt/ for more if needed, and always check NVME reviews on other websites too, good luck

>>107268119

>Toshiba TR200 240gb

is an SATA 6Gbit/s ssd, you can buy most any 2.5" SSD and use that but your system may limit the upper size boundary you can use. a 512gb or 1tb SSD should do the job.

>>107268142
if you have NVME check the slot - they have different specs so make sure the drive you buy fits the socket, this explains it well: https://www.atpinc.com/blog/what-is-m.2-M-B-BM-key-socket-3

you can find (free) software to duplicate the drive but sometimes a clean install is the better way.

Gigabyte control center is still recommending amd stuff after switching the graphics card from amd to nvidia.

I'm looking to get a 4tb nvme drive. What's the big practical difference between gen 4 and gen 5? It seems like the gen 5 has roughly twice the write and read speed as gen 4, but what applications will that be useful for? Do even local AI models need ~14000mbps read and write speed? Should I get a heatsink for either of them too?

Also I'm looking for an internal HDD of larger capacity, to store media files mostly. Does 7200rpm make a big difference vs 5400rpm? If there's not a crippling speed difference then does the 5400 rpm usually have longer longevity?

i bought a 5090 even though i don't need it because i fear for the future

>>107268630
>>107268642
me too. but I got a GPU under MSRP. I know a guy who paid like $800+ for a 9070xt not long ago. the MSRP GPU offsets the gape caused by the RAM prices, thats my cope and im sticking to it

>>107268632
Yes but on my board the boot light is white. What was showing before i plugged in the boot drive was yellow . Im so confused. As of this moment im waiting for windows to finish installing and the yellow dram light hasnt came back on again

Apparently the psu starts clicking if my gpu and cpu power usage is around 100-120W combined. It almost never happens but this nvidia upscale feature hits this exact sweet spot.

>>107268638
historically superflower was superchinkshit but that was a long time ago

>how long is the warranty on those?

>>107268648
>the gape
i have a pic for that but as i've been minded this is a blue board

>>107268651
It's probably memory training I shat myself too when my build took more than 2 minutes to boot.

>>107268648
$889 CAD is the going rate for the 9070xt here in Trudeauville by the look of it, that's already on sale and I don't even want to try waiting for Black Friday atp

>>107268596
I've never seen vsr use more than 35ish watts on a 5070

>>107268684
The only condition for it to happen is if I put it on the highest upscaling quality, play fullscreen on YouTube at 1440p60fps while my resolution is 1440p aswell. Which is regarded why would it upscale 1440p to 1440p?

>>107268654
>b650
damn that doesn't seem right you're under 300w for cpu/gpu at full tilt, maybe the PSU is dodgy. Can you warranty it?

>>107268656
I thought superflower was one of the big name OEMs in PSUs to be trusted, like seasonic.
I actually cant find any warranty info for the superflower PSU. not on the amazon listing, or their website. apparently they dont deal with the US sales and such directly. the be quiet has a 10 year warranty. I think that might be the one to go for here

>>107268671
>$889 CAD
is this really the state of canuk PC building? holy fuck i am sorry anon..that is over $1,200 USD
is there anyway for you to order a GPU from the US? like even a US ebay listing or some shit ?

>>107268720
other vendors have long warranties as well.

them being an OEM does not mean as much as you may think, e.g. the PSU designs are not likely shared, internal components can be very different quality, etc..

>>107268719
I don't think it's at full tilt from watching a youtube vid. Its a common problem for this psu model and I already got a replacement. They offered me a higher tier psu for 50$ more but I refused. I can request it again whenever I want however.

No it isn't, it's like 640, the Canadian dollar is Monopoly money compared to USD.
>is there anyway for you to order a GPU from the US? like even a US ebay listing or some shit ?
No fucking clue, I'm a total beginner when it comes to building in general and I don't know my way around anything.

>>107268748
when i said at full tilt i was referring to CPU/GPU working at theoretical maximums.

why not just spend the $50 and upgrade? what-if you get some /gayme/ that triggers this in the future?

Are montech cases shit? I feel like they should be given how fucking cheap they are but I've never seen anything bad about them online

I bought a 9800X3D from MSI and a Belgian flax linen duvet cover from Pottery Barn.

>>107268759
Yeah I'll probably do it when I have the time been busy lately. Corsair costumer support is top tier however they told me to contact them again during warranty period if I change my mind.

>>107268763
>montech
cheap does not mean bad but none of their cases appeal to me

>glowie with glass, nothxnotforme

>>107268754
Oh im very retarded and did the CAD to USD conversion backwards. yeah $640 is not too bad for a 9070xt honestly.

>>107268782
I honestly don't care that much about the aesthetics of something that's realistically going to sit to the side on my desk or maybe even on my floor, I was just looking for ways to cut back on the costs of certain shit without sacrificing too much

>>107266207
>10+ years without noteworthy degradation.
>OLED
Lmao. I know you keep name topping the brand to brag but it's not special lol the lifespan for any OLED is 5 years max. Meanwhile I have old LCDs kicking around from 15+ years ago.

Any thoughts or advice on these?

I'm building in a full tower so there's tons of space.
It's a solid black side panel so looks don't matter.

>>107268806
I bought the PNY triple fan OC. reviews show it preforms better than the MSI ventus. gigabyte has issues with their thermal compound. no idea who palit or gainward are besides recently seeing people claim their cards are shite. havent heard people saying much good about asus's PRIME cards. for me the PNY was $50 cheaper than everything else, and seemed like a reliable no nonsense utilitarian kind of card so I got that.

>>107268804
as a confirmed cheap bastard i agree with the low-cost sentiment but would (myself) still look for a cheap case that has no glass and no glowie at all.

>>107268707
>Which is regarded why would it upscale 1440p to 1440p?
Is there a setting for that? Mine turns off even for 1440p to 4k, it's just 1080p and below.

>>107268821
>gigabyte has issues with their thermal compound.
why every other gen has these. it's such a lottery to buy a GPU these days, just slap PTM everywhere you cursed penny pinchers!

My OLED experience this year.
3325 hours of active time, mixed use. no burn in issues. My only issue is gamma curve is fucked on mine, I have to -10% brightness in everywhing or it looks washed out.

>>107268221
The X50 is one of the best airflow cases ever made

>>107268940
is it comfy to build in though?
why no torrent in there? it's very nice to build in

Any reason I shouldn't get SN850X over SN7100?
Same price here, for 1tb, don't ask me how it works.
Also if my board has m2 heat dispenses, do I remove a sticker on top of NVMe or not? or just don't use motherboard ones?

>>107268978
The sticker is always metallic and meant to spread heat, never remove them.

STICKER

>>107268978
if by "sticker" you mean the manufacturers label, then do not remove it, it won't hurt anything being there and removal voids warranty

I was thinking of getting a 9070 XT. I have been considering between asrock steel legend dark and powercolor reaper, both are at the same price, cheapest I could find. I'm guessing there really is not much of a difference between these two?
Looks like the asrock has a thicker heatsink, would that make it better in anyway?

>>107269006
Don't let them tell you what to do, anon. If you wanna peel it off, then peel that shit right off. Feels good to peel stickers, doesn't it?

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Wd236Q

Any other Mobo/PSU people would pick?

Got the RAM now before it gets even more expensive a few days ago.

>>107269052
Continued:
Seems like the reaper has a PSU requirement of 750w while asrock has 800w.
I have a 750w so I might be going for the reaper but I still somehow doubt it matters all that much.

>>107268198
Update.
So those things were related to my amd cpu.

Among other things how do I check if I installed my graphics card properly?

I’m a bit of a retard.

>>107269075
Run some benchmarks maybe, play your fave game and look at the stats?

almost pulled the trigger on an m2 ssd until i saw the "frequently returned item" label on its amazon page

>>107269101
which one?

how shit is windows 11, should I just pirate W10 on my new machine?

>>107268978
but no advice of SN7100 vs 850x, you guys are useless, but everyone is a sticker expert
I want to know which one is more reliable. I need the thing to work at least 5 years, which is hotter?

>>107269075
>Among other things how do I check if I installed my graphics card properly?
Do the DDU in safe mode before installing a new card like a normal person.

>>107269101
which one? also retard break them apparently, it's a really small device. I have a chinese m2 Netac from 5 years back I got for $35, it started "not responding" only recently. I don't know the reason though, when it's in sue it's fine but when I don't use anything from it half a day it "falls off"

Am I right in thinking I can top mount a 420 Arctic LF3 in the meshify 3 XL?

https://www.fractal-design.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Meshify-3-XL-Manual-V1.1.pdf

p.50 says it can only take a 420x140x30 in the top, but it looks like that's to keep clear of side mounted fans. p.51 has a thicker rad in the top slot, so I'm assuming it's not a motherboard clearance issue.

Planning to just leave the stock 3 front fans in place and top mount the 420 AIO.

does it matter that my gen4 nvme drive is on m2_4 and connected to the chipset instead of directly to the CPU?

I don't see a mice/mouse or peripheral thread so I figure I should ask here

I have used the Razer Deathadder platform since they first came out when I was a kid so it's my preferred mouse style
I want to move away from Razer because of their ridiculous third party software and because I read that their quality has further dropped with the V3 and V4 Deathadders

Do any of you know of any mice with similar ergonomics and side buttons? I use the back side button for sprint and the ergonomics on this mouse are unmatched for my hands
Nothing I've felt in stores has felt as good as the Deathadder

Im starting to think amd is insane
I got 7800x3d and to watch a youtube video it uses very little cpu power
but one core will TURBO BOOST TO THE MAX UNTIL IT REACHES 89C because MAX POWER
this means 7 cores are like 40c but 1 is >70c and the fan has to immediately ramp fan speed up to cool that 1 fucking core
then it immediately cools down a lot, but then it turbo boosts AGAIN and fan has to follow it
so out of any cpu in existance got the one that will produce the absolute max fan ramp up and down imaginable by default

thanks amd.

>>107269257
>>107269257
>>107269257

do you need an aio for the 9800x3d? those thermalright $50 coolers like thermal assassin 140 should be enough, right?

>>107269268
I know you have the whole amd schizo thing going on but this thread will not archive for like 10h and you can just keep using it
its so pointless

alright lads
I have a R7 5700x3d/RX 5700XT build and am considering two upgrade options: Cheap blower 2080 super for $160 or a 6700XT for $150-180.
Which makes more sense to get to have RT/mesh shader support?

>>107269260
have you tried a logitech g403?

>>107269274
I'd just spend extra on an AiO, it'll help your GPU out too

>>107269312
I think I tried that one in stores once and the side buttons felt bad to me
I also have heard that Logitech has had similar QC issues to Razer over time, but I'll keep it in mind

>>107269313
I dont like water stuff near the pc, I don't upgrade often

>>107269283
neither upgrade option makes sense. Aim to double your performance. 5700XT can raytrace, should do you fine for another year.

>>107269267
Just use an aio bruv

>>107269382
