>>107361557>>107361591Thinking about Kingston FURY Renegade 48GB-8000 CL38. It has all round nice price.
>trying to get used to accurate colors on my monitor>everything looks washed out dull and yellowishthis is torture
>>107361640If you have intel, that seems fine. That will be hell on an AMD cpu.
I CAN'T BUY A GPU
>>107361644If you're not doing color sensitive work, just make it look good to you. Color accuracy is a meme for content consumption, especially if you need to pay for hardware to calibrate it.
just bit the bullet and bought picrel as per the op recs in these threads out of fomo, it was mainly between it and the Cooler Master Tempest GP27Q which was about $65 more expensive.I would have went with the Cooler Master if it came in white as i'm migrating to white hardwareshould i cancel?
>>107361640I thought AM5 couldn't really go above 6000 as of right now
>>107361640If the price is fine, that kit is okay.Just downclock the speed to 6000MT/s and use a common primary timing like 30-38-38 or 30-40-40.If you like to memory OC, you can decide whether to run 6000MT/s or 8K.Pic isn't my PC setup, his memory OC is cooled with a 120mm fan pointing at the memory slots.
>>107361717if it's anything like the gp27u, you dodged a bullet because it is plagued with firmware issues that cooler master either can't fix or doesn't care to fix
>>107361697>>107361718>>107361722Okay thats good to know then i will go back to 6000 then
>>107361717I don't see the point in caring about the back of the display's color.
>>107361644Define "accurate".Are you calibrating for specific target?Is your specific target sRGB? Or are you matching a display with your own cameras and printers?Do you konw how and why sRGB should and should not be used? Do you really want to limit your display range to "typical office and consumer devices" circa 1995?If you are worried about oversaturated skintones in live action videos you can define color profiles in player, no need to fuck over your entire OS UX for that.t. own a calibrator for work but use "full gamut" settings at home
What's a good price for a 4070/Super/Ti tyese days?
>>107361718It's board dependent as well as gambling on the IMC but 8000 even as high as 8400 is possible. 6000 is the default recommendation cause it just werks but if you can escape 1:1 mode in favor of 2:1 that's were these speeds come into play.
Just bought an OLED monitor, I want to know what all the hype is about and I can classify it as a business expense. I'm going to use it 16 hours a day 365 days a year but don't worry I'll turn on all the care stuff I'm not a psycho.
>>107361704Yes, you can. Just believe in yourself. More importantly, WE believe in you. God speed, anon.
Do I really need a pc if I spend 8 hours a day on boards.4chan.org/g/
>>107361765There's a bunch of shit you will need to calibrate. Also may need to order longer cables for it.
I can't find my old PSU box with the cables, I am using 1 8pin cable that has 2 8 pin exits on my current gpu, the new gpu needs 2 8pinsI know the best practice is to get 2 cables, 1 for each 8 pin, but.... can I just use one pin until I buy a new psu?
>>107361708>>107361737cool it with the autismi'm tired of windows fucking up my hdr profiles (windows keeps using the wrong profile on the wrong monitor etc) so i've decided to just leave them default and not add any oversaturated colors using the hdr calibration tooli have a calibrite spectrometer or whatever but i'm not even using it because i can tell the default calibration on these monitors is good enough (if it's washed out and yellow/orangish it's probably srgb from my experience)anyway im just venting and the main issue is windows being shit as usual
>>107361765Based, I've been doing that since 2023 on my OLED G9. Fuck the "burn-in mitigations". I have the same static wallpaper and taskbar showing at all times.
>>107361809one cable****
>>107361811>cool it with the autismNigger I'm telling you to just eyeball it if you need to, I wouldn't buy anything for color accuracy. I just play video games and generate ai slop.
>>107361809It's fine to use the pigtail cable if the PSU brand is somewhat respectable.https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/individual-8-pin-vs-pigtail-connectors-for-gpus/
>>107361809>>107361830Which GPU and which PSU?
>>107361793>may need to order longer cables for it.which cables?
>>107361856>>107361858it's a 8 years old corsair TM850, something like that, semi modular 80 gold, I'm plan to buy a new psu 2 months from now
>>107361878Use the pigtail cable, set a stricter power limit for the video card if you're worried.
>>107361858>>107361878the gpu is a 9070 xt
>>107361497But Jay said that GPU prices will be stable, and VRAM is safe from the shortage.
>>107361644Disable all Windows Color management, it's trash.Then use novideo_srgb if you are on Nvidia. If will calibrate your monitor based on your monitor's EDID data assuming it's accurate, or ICC profile which you can get from Hardware Unboxed patreon for monitors they have reviewed.And if you find srgb too washed out, you can add digital vibrance on top of that without clipping as long as your monitor has the gamut, personally I use 54%.
>>107361901When has Jay ever been right about anything?
>>107361907He's right and wrong like the rest of us. Here, he is absolutely wrong.
>>107361497seems like all the panic shilling confirms the next gen leap is bigger than previously thought
Are Asrock motherboards still housefire tier?
>>107361930What if I were to tell you DDR6 will be delayed for a long, long time.
>>107361932I'd avoid their boards until the refreshed products for Zen 6 are out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_price_fixing_scandal>On 27 April 2018, Hagens Berman filed a class-action lawsuit against Samsung, Hynix, and Micron in U.S. District Court alleging the trio engaged in DRAM price fixing causing prices to skyrocket through 2016 and 2017.[8] Between June 2016 and January 2018, the price of DRAM nearly tripled.>To date, five manufacturers have pleaded guilty to their involvement in an international price-fixing conspiracy between July 1, 1998, and June 15, 2002, including Hynix, Infineon, Micron Technology, Samsung, and Elpida.[3]Hmmmmmmmmm
>>107361739Well under $400 for a base 4070, other 2 just buy a 5070
>>107361927Jay is always wrong. It's almost impressive. I just watch his channel because I like seeing him stick his fingers in running PC fans. He's a clown and is only good when acting as one. You don't take him seriously.
>>107361972the difference in 2025 is that they will get away with it this time
>>107361979I enjoyed his Bazzite installation video. I wanted to try it and that eased the process immensely. I hated Bazzite, but that's beside the point.
>>107361647Well, I'll see tomorrow for sure when it arrives and I can install it all, but I hope it will kill the retarded downtime Wan 2.2 has between bursts of the GPU being fast (which I assume is a combination of decade old RAM, SSD and CPU having shitty speed and not enough capacity to avoid swap thrashing). And being able to compile things faster is always nice (even my fastest homelab server is ~3x slower). So if there's nothing obviously retarded in the component choice, then hopefully that'll last me another decade. And with AMD there are at l ast upgrade perspectives, as opposed to Intel.
>>107361901what don't they understand about OpenAI buying the wafers? Where do they think the dram, vram, gddr, lpddr, hbm, nand all comes from to begin with?
With all the price increases, what's the chance that vendors and sellers are doing a little scalping on top of the actual DRAM increases?
>>107362032
>>107362008Most likely, yes.
>>107362032it's a scam, openai doesn't have the money, and the chinks will release deepseek 2.0 in a few weeks and the AI bubble will be raped to death because everyone will realize the chinks can make it better and faster and set it for free, bankrupting like 5 of murrica's biggest companies because they bet it all in ai
>>107361531now you can finally play the game>I could try 1.13 vsoc 3800mhznot happening even at 1.2 VSOCbut feel free to tryyou might get it to boot but it's gonna die within ten seconds of starting a stress test
>>107362077two more weeks bro sure
>>107362049they've been doing that for like a decade now
>>107362049>what's the chance that vendors and sellers are doing a little scalping on top of the actual DRAM increases?Of course they will, because the number of buyers will decrease.Manufacturers will milk more of what's left.
>>107361644Your monitor doesn't come with factory calibration report cards?
Is getting a 4TB SSD a bad idea?
>>107362119Seems like it's a bad idea for you if you need to ask.
Is there anything wrong in buying a B650 motherboard over a B850 one?
>>107362119If prices are right, hoarding storage is never a bad idea. Most users would be better off with a 2tb ssd + 4tb hard drive than a single 4tb ssd though.
>>107361497I might just order a spare 5090 out of pure FOMO.
Just pulled the trigger on a 9060xt even though I don't play that many new games. But I've been waiting for the GPU market to "get better" since 2018 and it hasn't.
>6090 on a new node>memory pricesit will be $6000.
Was it a good purchase or a stupid idea?
>>107361932I have a b650 Lightning and it works perfectly fine
>>107362116what does this have to do with what i said
>>107362119Depends on the price, I recently bought used 7.68TB U.2 SSD with only few TB written for around $200 and it's great to have decent space and no spinning drives on my main desktop.
>>107362194Don't vertically mount it (Giga Thermal Gel slipping).
>>107362142Depends on OS, if you're planning on Win 10 650 is the one you want if you want working wifi and bluetooth. But even then you have to check each 650 board before buying if they have working drivers.
Newegg can go fuck themselves. Never buying anything from them again. Was in the process of buying one of those RTX 5060 Tis and then OOP. UHOH. OUT OF STOCK.Fucking nonsense. Absolutely botted to hell, if they were ever actually for sale to begin with.
>>107362214Wifi 7 works on 10, you just don't get the full speeds.
>>107362219Newegg hasn't been good since 2010. Absolutely horrifying the level of enshittification they went through.
>>107362219>Not just using Apple Pay to buy it instantlyGrim
>>107362213Yeah I've read about it. I didn't even know you could mount GPUs verticallyApparently it's only for the first wave of gigabyte 5000 cards though
>>107362224post proof
>>107362194You'll be laughing when they announce the new DLSS either before redstone or during CES, apaprently AMD its about to get btfo
what is the best AMD gpu for 1440p@144hz gaymin? preferably costing less than $500
>>1073622479070 is good, 9070 xt is great, maybe you can get the first one around 500
>>107362247Best: 9070 XTLower than 500: 9060xt or 9070 if you live near a Microcenter.
>>107357578>any higher than 8bit will make use of temporal dithering. just be aware, since it might tire your eyes.Could anyone expound on that? What is temportal dithering and why should I be worried about it? I changed my setting from 8 to 10 bit last night and I can't honestly tell any difference, it doesn't look any better or worse. Feels like most of these settings are complete placebo.
>>107362234https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19351/intel-wireless-wi-fi-drivers-for-windows-10-and-windows-11.htmlYou just can't use 6ghz on 10.
>>107362232I set it up to use Buy Now, pressed Buy Now, and then the site shit itself. Everything they had for sale was bought within 20 seconds. It was all bots. They're probably already all back up for sale for $380 on third party vendors.It should be legal to go door to door to those who do that shit and execute them with a fucking shotgun blast to the face.
>CPU/Mobo bundle I got 3 weeks ago - out of stock>RAM I overpaid for 3 weeks ago - more than doubled in price and out of stock>GPU I got last week - back to msrp >SSDs I got weeks ago - prices went up 50% >PSU I got 2 weeks ago - same price nowBlack Friday and I would have been totally fucked if I waited
>>107362244AMD was never on the charts for me, I keep my GPUs for at least 7-8 years out of principle and no AMD card will last that much
>>107362290Waitfags always lose
>>107362194Good purchase, it's a great card.
>>107362268>any higher than 8bit will make use of temporal ditheringThat entirely depends if the panel is 8bit + FRC or a true 10bit panel. FRC is frame rate control, a dithering technique that rapidly alternates between colours to simulate other colours. The swapping can cause eye strain if you're susceptible to it.
>>107362352I have an LG C5, does it do that? Also what does it even look like because I don't see any difference after switching.
>>107362364>>I have an LG C5, does it do that?FRC? No
>>107362364True 8 bit is 16.7million colours, true 10bit is 1.07 billion colours. you can simulate 10 bit with 8 bit+frc which is what cheaper monitors do to achieve "10bit">LG C5Is a true 10bit display so it doesn't need dithering. And you probably wouldn't be able to see the difference desu.
how retarded is this build? it's for a normie, light gaming (no AAA), no ai sloppin. i took some random build and swapped out the shit that wasn't availablehttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/NqZyv4
>>107362415Gigabyte b650 sucks (coil whine), get Asrock b650 LightningThe rest is good
Brehs... the 4080 for $685 isn't happening...
>>107362431thanks anon
>>107362432Why would you buy a 4080 when you could get a 9070xt which is better for 599?
>>107362432>He waitedGrim
>>107362432told you about waiting....
>>107362438I thought AMD cards were for homosexuals? Can straight people legally buy them?
>>107362512>I thought AMD cards were for homosexuals?They are, that's why AMD only supports them for 3 years, fags have much shorter life expediencies. Nvidia supports their cards for at least 10 years.
>>107362512They can't. You need to present a gay card when purchasing an AMD GPU.
>>107362438I'm in Europe, the 9070 XT does not exist here nor for those prices and the 5070 Ti is way more expensive.>amdhg>>107362454Less waiting and more I was busy with real life matters.

>everything so heavily discounted it offsets the ram price increase
>>107362576Worked out that way for me too but I'm still seething about that ram increase
>>107362084Nta, but I've got a 4000mhz b-die kit which I've been running @3800mhz w/ the 4000mhz xmp timings. Figured I could either drop the voltage or improve the timings but never got around to it. Which would be the bsst improvement do you think? Pic related is what I'm currently running
>>1073625505070 Ti is one of the best price/performance cards in Europe at just 800€ for a card that will easily do 1440p60fps until 2035, and 4000 series cards don't exist anymore outside of the used market (where they still cost more than a 5070 Ti). Why did you expect to buy a 4080?
>>107362605>Why did you expect to buy a 4080Faster than the 5070 Ti for less money, obviously. Even at $830 it still is a cheaper purchase than a 5070 Ti.
>>107362598my kit is not samsung b die, it's hynix CJR 16gbit, I can not get those timings in any way at all, and I am keeping the vdimm at 1.35, not overvolting as well
>>107362629Oh shit did i reply to the wrong anon? I thought you were the ram wizard
>>107362598>Nta, but I've got a 4000mhz b-die kit which I've been running @3800mhz w/ the 4000mhz xmp timingsyeah you had more luck with your max IF speedit's just silicon lottery, i've never seen any meaningful improvement from tweaking voltages for getting 1900 FCLK to work>Which would be the bsst improvement do you think? Pic related is what I'm currently runningyour tRC and tRFC are autoyour subtimings are probably all auto generic B-die timings should be easy to find but the only problem is it's really temperature sensitive so what works with good airflow is very different from what works with bad airflow>>107362629no die has ever done gigachad tRCD like that since, sad!

>>107362550>I'm in Europe, the 9070 XT does not exist here nor for those priceswhere in EU in Spain i can get a couple models of 9070xt at 600 flat and a plethora of other models at like 650
>>107362626There are no 4080s for sale in EU for less than 1000-1100 euro. Meanwhile there are 5070 Tis for 750 euro everywhere you look.
>>107358476>High-end: Fractal Momentumwould it be worth picking up some of these while they're on sale for $20 to replace the stock fans in my old define 7?

>>107362556I'm not sure I'm buying any more PC shit. The industry wants to ping pong between scams. Crypto scams, AI scams. The next big thing, all officially pushed by the hardware industry to get their numbers up. The technology to cure disease and explore space twisted into a never-ending series of pyramid schemes.

>>107362655So dropping the voltage would be best then, eh? Xmp is 1.4v for the 4000-16-16-16-36, so I figured it surely doesn't need that for 3800 @ the same timings. Didn't know what temps to shoot for that would even improve anything because buildzoid said b-die is perfectly fine @1.45v even. Don't mean to bug you though
wtf am i even supposed to do with a 10gb lan
>>107362704>there is a guy actively shilling ktc to get more buyers because he wants KTC to release a firmwareJoke's on that guy, KTC & AOC rarely release user-upgradeable firmware.Buy something else if you want monitor firmware updates.

already have a rig but my younger sister wants a computer worth salvaging my buddy's 8~ year old microcenter prebuilt? i think the PSU is busted but the rest should work or should i just start from the ground up with the cheapest amd microcenter bundle i also have a 32 gb DDR5 kit somewhere but one of the sticks may be non-functioning her budget is 500ish US
>>107362871Not after 23% VAT and retailer markup
>>107362231Newegg is great if you use the combo maker. Had no problem with it every worked and I saved a bunch. It's pretty much the only way to get a decent bundle discount if you don't live by Microcenter
>>107362896Depends on the game she plays.Keep that DDR4 memory if it's at least 3000~3200MT/s.Keep the storage drives.AM4 will be cheaper than a DDR4 14600K build.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BRBnZc
Shall I get the Gigabyte MO27Q28G Tandem OLED monitor? It will be my second monitor purely used for gaming while my ktc m27p6 will be used for everything else. I have a 5070ti, and while it can run 4k, I sometimes prefer getting double the fps on max settings at 1440p. It's 520€ where I live. Worth it? Or are there better options? I like it cause it's a very new monitor with relatively good features.
>make order late Thursday EU time>go refresh the order page>already shipped SOOON
>>107362786My second monitor is a ViewSonic from 2016. I think it's by far the most uniform IPS I ever had in terms of backlight.
>>107362896Storage is salvageable and same with the memory if it's any decent (ideally 3200). Could build around it with an am4 build.

I've been using this thing 12+ hours a day for 12 years over 4 builds and the fan is finally going out. I'm scared it's going to overheat and blow up my RTX 4080. I guess it's time to buy a new one. RIP
>>107363223hehehehe...I was just thinking about this. I can't image the "sales" come Monday. 5% off the $445 32gb 4800 CL40 ram that's still in stock. Maybe 25 kits.
>>107363257With good VRR implementation even 90hz is fine
>>107363276You're extremely fortunate to have caught it before failure. Now, get off /g/ and order a new one.
>>107363276>12 years over 4 builds and the fan is finally going out. I'm scared it's going to overheat and blow up my RTX 4080The PSU has Over Temperature Protection so it will shut down before anything bad happens to your system.But you should definitely buy a new PSU, there are good discounts atm like the $90 RM850x.

Is it worth it to spend extra on a Ryzen 9600 over a 7600 if im going to upgrade in a year or two anyway?
>>107363364no
>>107363364Have you ever been bottlenecked by your CPU for your use cases? The answer is probably no.
>>107363257>>107363305theoretically once you get high enough hz you don't even want vrr just let the monitor refresh and it's fine
>>107363335The phrase "You people have phones, don't you?" comes to mind. That went over well.
>>107363364If you think the 9600's resale value will make up for that price difference, sure.If you want the better AVX-512 performance, sure. This doesn't make much difference for gaming (except for emulators).
what is a safe stable undervolt for the 9070xt? not some crazy -90 that you can run benchmarks with but will crash watching youtube because the offset is too high for low wattage content
I feel so bad for my wallet. It stopped talking to me after it saw the order for 32gb of RAM at 270$
>>107363257>>107363305144hz is unplayable for cs players right now
>>107363467Depends on the silicon lottery. I wish there was an exact answer, but you'll have to test and go from there. Start at -20 and if it's stable, try -30. But, you have to stress test each time. A simple run through Time Spy won't tell if it's stable for a long load on the CPU.
uooohhhhh
240hz is the bare minimum, poorfag territory .Hz-lets shouldn't be allowed to make recommendations itt
>>107363570I'm not gonna stress it with this old psu, gonna try -40, I will run it at -30% PL forever as well, I don't need all the power
5060 16gb vs 5070 12gb for 1080p gaming? I'm broke, no ti for me

>>1073635834k is more important than any hz, 4k and 120hz is all anyone will ever need.
>>107363603All things being equal, the 5070 will hang in there longer in future games.
>>107363063Damn, I kinda like that simple white glow
Looking at getting Radeon 9070 (currently on 6700XT) since GPU prices have approached some vague sanity, though still overpriced - I would get the 9070XT since the prices are very close together but it recommends an 850W PSU where I only have 750W. Worth getting it at just over £500? I'm on leenucks so AMD is preferred. CPU is 5800X and with 16GB RAM
time to setup windows......lol I don't own any usb drives
>>107363620forgot to add, monitors are 1080p165 and 4K60 (usually upscaling on the 4K one), I don't play hugely demanding modern games but high refresh rate is always nice to be able to meet 120Hz+
>>1073636209070 and the xt are both very good and better than the 9060 by a lot, get the best deal and yes upgrade your psu
>>107363617Thanks. It's actually a very light blue, but I like it as well. The one on the left used to be all red when it had an i7, I decided to switch things up.
>>107363620750w is plenty for a 9070xt + 5800x

this years Black Friday was fucking shit. The only good deal was the Newegg's 9800x3d + Asus x870e crosshair apex but it was only good with PayPal's cashback.just awful
>>107362943>>107363071>>107362943memory is 2400mostly non-AAA? she gave me kingdom hearts, dispatch, poppy playtime as examples. nothing super graphically demanding but just to be safe i want to be able to run most everything out today (with adjustments and concessions) at 1080/1440. lets assume that memory and storage isnt going to factor into the 500-ish budget because i can just give her the ddr5 16/32gb ram kit and the storage can be literally whatever ive got lying around
Can someone explain to me why would I need something more than a RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU to play whatever game I want? I don't care about 4K or whatever are more than 1080p/100Hz. Just tested a few off Steam because they were hugely discounted and they all run fine on ultra settings with ray tracing and all the ML shit like DLSS DISABLED. Like, shockingly good. And all are AAA titles released in the last couple of years. Sure, my RAM is 6000mt/s 32GB and everything is on a 990 PRO 2TB but still why the fuck are people buying GPUs that cost more than $400 at all? For 4K only?
>>107363653>>107363666>>107363674thank you, I'll grab the XT version then. I ended up with this 750W PSU almost a decade ago so probably needs replacing soon as it is, 850W may be a safe bet

idk if this is best for here or the sqt but i'm gonna try here. i just bought a gigabyte 5080 and i currently have a gigabyte 3070, do i need to use ddu before i swap them out or is it not gonna be an issue since theyre both nvidia and/or both gigabyte? never upgraded just a gpu before
>>107363702probably 7500f/7400f + b650 + 9060xt system then.
>>107363753their own fault for shilling the S95 so hard
>>107363674I will never buy a GPU that uses more than 300W
>>107363758You should always DDU in safemode before replacing a gpu.
>>107363758no need to use ddu if its same gpu core brand
>>107363790only when swapping to a different gpu core brand aka nvidia -> amd or viceversa.
>>107363758I wouldn't bother I'd just clean install
>>107363772all normal retailers here sold them out last sale nothing in stockseeing as it's the only qd model nothing else is buyablesad!

I remember the incompetent fella in the OP image and the crossdresser sending me an email a few years back. They'd done a comparison against two card, but were making incorrect claims, I told them how to verify the performance per wat metric by limiting TDP and locking clock speeds to stock and boost frequencies and neither of them could pull it off.Do people still watch those retards? The only thing I understand that they were ever good for was pixel counting console slop and finding "equivalent" settings.Bunch of retards, I tell you what.
Currently this is my PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/t6TcWcPlus 48-64GB of RAM (technically have 4 cards but one isn't detected for whatever reason, the compatible ones are all DDR4 and so should the "invisible" one be) and a 1TB NVME (a kingston that doesn't show up in the list).If I have a budget of 400$ tops, what would be the recommended upgrade to consider today? CPU (and I guess MB to go with it?) or GPU?

Why the fuck is the 9070 xt so loud at 304w?Can I let it go to 95c hotspot at 1800-2000 rpm so my ears don't get raped?Or should I power cuck it to 275-280 watts?
>>107364358the only ssd i ever bought without a dram cache, died on me in 6months (teamgroup, they just gave me a refund instead of fixing it too, it had a pile of sensitive documents on that drive, im still mad). I don't trust non-dram m.2's/ssds. Its your funeral.
>>107364700it varies on the model. my taichi doesnt go above 85c at 1200-1400rpm.
>>107364347Well, that certainly looks familiar. A better GPU and a bit more storage, but quite similar. Mine's solid. Crushes 1080p and runs 1440p decent. Yours should crush 1440p. Be sure to have the motherboard updated to the latest bios and don't overclock it. You might need to up the power limits SLIGHTLY. Going from 181w to 195w gave a massive performance boost. No, 64gb is overkill unless you're rendering videos or working with very large data bases.Mine: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4M3mwY

I recently opened my laptop to clean its insides (and I got the CPU about 10°C cooler by doing that) and I realized I have an unused RAM slot on the motherboard so I figured I would buy one. However according to speccy the RAM stick I have right now is>8.00GB Single-Channel DDR4 @ 1330MHz (19-19-19-43)and I couldn't find a RAM stick of exactly 1330 MHz, would it hurt to mix sticks of different speeds and/or sizes? In any case, how could I possibly know what's the maximum speed my motherboard supports? According to speccy my motherboard model is>Dell Inc. 02VK51 (CPU 1)but a google search didn't give me any spec sheet. The (very faded) sticker on the laptop says it is a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series, bought like 3 or 4 years ago.

If I'm already paying $410 for 32 GB, $580 for 64 GB doesn't actually sound so bad.
I am building 3 budget gaming systems for my kids, I got 3 14600k processors and wanted to keep the budget as low as possible so I thought going with ddr4 was cheaper, I can get 16gb for only 140cad, ddr5 is more than double that. I bought 3 MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 motherboards, and am about the order the 3 sets of DDR4. Should I pull the trigger on the ddr4 or return the DDR4 motherboards and get DDR5 motherboards and pay double for the memory? I am just trying spend as little as possible to get good value and need the computers to be decent at least.

>>107364847Just get a Hyte X50
>>107364347It looks good but if you already have a rig that you can use and if you dont mind waiting a few more months then you should buy the ram, gpu, storage and psu/cooler/case now and wait until next year to complete the build as the ram shortage will reduce the CPU/MOBOS prices, specially with a new gen of CPU's coming out in q3/q4 of next year
>>107364873>Recommending waitingKill yourself
>>107364834Entirely up to you, but me personally? I never had a use for that much ram. Your mileage may vary. I'd either bank the money or put it somewhere else in the PC.
>>107364795just stick any old ram in there it'll run at whatever both can run at I assume you care more about size than speed on something that old
>>107364845I already have the Samsung 980 1 TB in my current system. so I would get the Western Digital WD_BLACK as a new drive and then just use both of them in my new rig.
>>107364834Corsair is mega Jewish that's whyTheir ram sticks aren't better than gskill's
>>107364834>Why is the Corsair Vengence $300 more expensive if it has the exact same stats? Just brand fuckery?uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, idk how other brands do it but waythefuckback in 2016, 2017? When I went for 64GB of RAM, I remember Corsair's site had verified average OC's for the ram in the vengeance series, above the XMP speeds advertised. Now, back then you weren't paying $300 more, you weren't even paying $30 more so...take it as you will, bubble prices will knock this stuff outta alignment maybe.Check the corsair site for the kit, down at the bottom in docks, there'll maaaaybe be a good set of documents and benchmarks on it, mighta stopped that though, nearly 9-10 years ago after all.
>>107364653Depends on what you want to put in there. Being smol often necessitates only supporting certain sizes for some hardware types (e.g., mobo, GPU, CPU cooler).
>>107364700Not power limiting your card is the cuck move1-2% performance drop which can be offset with a clock curve bump, and you get way better thermal performance.
>>107364916back in the ddr4 days it was pretty difficult to find quality b-die ram made by corsair since they kept selling fancy looking 3200cl16 crap for premium prices and people kept eating those up
>>107364977>fancy 3200c16kek I remember those days and got b-die 3200c14 from teamgroup with nothing but heatspreaders. Seeing those expensive 3200c16 filled me with disgust and contempt.
Well I bought everything I feel like I made a mistakeThat was a lot of money spent.Feel a little sick actually
>>107365022Well, at least you can laugh at the waitfags in a month or so.
>>107361497>I know this is worrying, goy, but I really, really need you to do two things now>>Step 1: PANIC.>Step 2: Buy my products.
Are there any good 1440p monitors with matte coating, 144hz, HDR and maybe Gsync?
>>107364838buy ddr4, its totally fine, they're kids
>>107365022I only felt that way after my first PC. I spent like $300 on a motherboard in 2008 that supported Tri-SLI and a GTX 280. I was going to get two more GPUs but realized how unbelievably fucking retarded that was. Now I just buy midrange parts and it feels much better.
>>107365022and you still have to build it and troubleshoot it
>>107365022That's completely normal unless you are a goycattle retardIt's normal and expected to feel bad when you spend your hard earned money on vanities like hobbies and entertainment
>>107362856Oh wow okay. Thanks anon! You're the ram wizard as far as I'm concerned though; that shit got complicated fast and I had to rely on dram calculator before but it's not helping much on this kit. Anyways thanks again!
>>107365059>Now I just buy midrange parts and it feels much betterI think this is the right idea. I've always had junk so I went all out and spent a fortune. But I worry about it constantly, the fear of so much money being tied into one little box and a mistake could cost thousands of dollars is too much pressure.
Can unstable ram OC fuck up my windows install and other data?What's the safest way to test it then?
>>107365061NTA but building takes like an hour even if for an amateur, maybe 2 if you go really slow, read manuals and you're anal about cable managementThe only 'troubleshooting' you'd need to do is making sure everything's plugged in, and the RAM is seated properly.
>>107365205some people said it can, but it never happened to me
upgraded from gtx 1070 to 9070xt, its too powerful, I feel like I don't need 30% of what the card gives me, I am on 1080p and will move to 3440x1440 next year, maybe then the purchase will be justifiable
>>107365205It can, if it happens to error during a write operation with critical system files. Can also corrupt your own personal files during a copy operation. Not terribly likely to happen, but it can happen. Use memtest to check but honestly it's not really worth it to manual OC RAM nymore, just use EXPO and call it a day.
get them while you can lads
>>107365205open cmd as adminsfc /scannowdism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
>>107365302That shit does literally nothing
>>107365306it does work
>>107365272Already boughted a 5070 Ti, I'm done with GPUs until 2030 minimum
>>107365306I thought so too but no, it does actually fix some random weird shit.
>>107364847how many miles of airtime can that get?
I thought finding the right mobo was hard but it turns out the monitor is the absolute hardest part to pick when building a PCSo many options and features
>>107365335and none of them good
>bought a 200mm fan>it doesn't fit the screw fuckingfucking Js, I'm just gonna leave it on top of the case blowing air out
>>107365354fit the fucking screw holes*I'm exhausted from ram ocing, installing a new gpu, new fans, etcpc building is a workout
>>107365354You have a case that supports 200mm fans on the top?
>>107365395>>107365395>>107365395
>>107365400yup, this one
>>107365400>200mm fansAKA the coolermaster special
>>107365430How does the screw not fit? I don't understand
>>107365321>>107365328I'm going to give it a try right now to try and fix some weird issues I've been having with Firefox lately. Sometimes when I play video on a tab (like on youtube or reels on instagram), the tab will crash and it will leave the system very unstable. In that state I can't use ffmpeg to convert videos because it will give me and error about not being able to set an encoder or something like that. My hypothesis is that something might be wrong with video drivers? Anyway I'll give it a try right now
>>107365454the screw holes on top of the case are rectangular, on my fan they're squareish, on older 200mm fans they have many screw hole setups on the fan bracket, mine is chinese, just has one
>>107365302Good tip, but you flipped the order.https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e
>>107365491I'm pretty sure Noctua has all the patterns built into their fans. I used to use them on my old cooler master case.
>>107365555they do, coolermaster sickleflow also seems that it'll work, I'll buy one later, it's fine the way it is right now
>>107365306nah, it can fix acl's iirc, particularly useful if doing recovery
What's the best GPU I can get that works with a 450W Platinum power supply and is at most 250mm long? The machine currently uses ~120W at peak but that's with the iGPU + overclocking, if I turn those off that saves a third of the power.
>>107363276you could just, y'know, replace the fan
>>107366216Go on pcpartpicker, filter GPUs by 250mm length and tdp = ~250w
>>107362119Got mine last year for NZD$319. Hasn't been anywhere close price wise since.
Upgrading an ancient gaming rig I got from a friend awhile back. Keeping the case, SSD, and PSU. Trying to keep it close to $300 but I can probably do up to $400. Is the 5700X worth the extra $45 if I'm only going to have the 980Ti? I might get a better GPU or more RAM a few years down the line if I feel like I need it and prices aren't absolutely fucked.I'm not big into gaming but my I had to refund RDR2 because it was unplayable and modded Minecraft is starting to get a bit choppy.
>>107367543That many generations back? No point. Six core would be plenty.
>>107367693I figured, thank you.
