Anyone recommend some decent compact speakers?
>>107481730Forgot to say also cheap <$50
If there's a memory shortage affecting SSDs/RAM, would it not make sense to buy the GPU with the most VRAM right now?
>>107481730Why do they look so ugly? They should give them an actual pebble appearance and texture. What happened to proper speakers like Roland MA-12C's?
>>107481658>High-end: Fractal Momentum, Noctua G2 (140mm or 120mm)And the king, the one and only 200mm Noctua, sole PWM fan of this type.
>>107481013>is this the end of /pcbg/?it's the beginning of pc building special (or elite) - /pcbs/
rate my system for another 3 years
>>107481748We've been telling people to buy the best possible video card within their means during this discount season for that reason.AMD's already announced memory chip price increases to their board partners.NVIDIA's supposedly telling AIBs to source their own VRAM.NVIDIA used to order VRAM for GeForce cards as part of their GPU bill of materials sent to AIBs.https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-reportedly-raising-radeon-8-gb-16-gb-graphics-card-prices-by-20-40https://www.tweaktown.com/news/109145/nvidia-stops-bundling-vram-chips-with-gpu-dies-tells-aibs-to-source-their-own-gddr-chips/index.html
>>107481748Buy the GPU you need/can afford. If VRAM supply starts messing with GPU prices, everything will climb anyway (retailers and scalpers will just pocket the margins on SKUs that didn't climb as high). If it has an influence on your budget, assume that upgrading might get very hard for the next handful of years.
>>107481842should've bought an x3d chip when you had the chance
>>107481843Is it over if I didn't order on black friday?
>>107481891Yes. Beyond over. My build went up £400 soon as December hit.
Small survey, please respond with your CPU, cooling setup, and idle temperature. I'll start: 9800X3D, Phantom Spirit, 38C.
>built a PC for a buddy in February>only went for 1TB storage and 16GB of memory because of his tight budget (got decent stuff otherwise)>told him I'd get him "the other half" as a gift for his birthday>only remembered this today, his birthday is in a weekDo I take the loss or make an excuse?
>Just paid £520 for 64GB 6000CL30It's a fucking steal at the current prices, tempted to horde it and sell it and just keep my current rig another 2 years.
>>107481207>Ryzen 5 5800X3D>[Used] RTX 3080Ti>32GB DDR4 RAM>[Chink] 1440p MonitorWell, this is what I was planning to build and hopefully expecting it to last for the next 10 years, but now I don't know anymore, I'm actually wondering if I could get away with a downgrade (currently using a stinkpad)
>>1074819495700X3D (CO -15), Peerless Assassin 120 (year old mount with TG Kryonaut), 31C idle (with 20C ambient), in a Lancool 216 full of Noctua fans. Want my shoe size too, mister glowing man?
>>107482025>Ryzen 5 5800X3D>32GB DDR4 RAMso overpriced now you may as well build on a modern platform
>>107481993Get the storage and a graph of ram prices
I got 3 DIMMs from 3 different manufacturers. One of them is even 1333 but I just clicked 1600 in the BIOS and it werks.>your timings?fuck if I know kek
>tfw decided to just ride out the storm with my 5700X3D/3080/32GB buildIf there were a game worth upgrading for on the horizon then I would panic buy, but there isn't. If this is truly the end of affordable local compute then it's just delaying the inevitable. I'll just go bowling or something.
>>107482049ExactlyI'm actually even considering a 5500X3D instead
>>107481843>We've been telling people to buy the best possible video card within their means during this discount season for that reason.But is that best video card necessarily going to be the card with the most VRAM?
>>107482061Poorfag shaming aside, it's probably not 100% stable, but it does depend a lot on the CPU and motherboard. There'a also the retard method of upping the voltage, even mediocre DDR3 can perform at like 1.6V and with even a little case airflow that isn't too much.
>>107482084I almost got a 5700X3D last year but got cold feet last second, so anyone who didn't buy that on AM4 is retty much fucked.
Looking to buy a laptop in the UK, £1500 budget, would use it for gaming and watching stuff, ideally looking for something with a 4060 or a 5060 and 16GB of RAM, 1080p screen, don't need anything fancy like OLED. prefer a reputable retailer for shipping or somewhere it can physically be picked up. Anyone got any recs?
>>107481993Hope you know how to give head anon
>>107482086>5500X3DVaporware
>>107482094It's an ol bastard PC I got up and running so I can fuck around with Linux (Mint) on something with a decent amount of memory and not a shitty old laptop or an ARM based SBC like an RPI or similar.I'm getting one more 4GB DIMM this Saturday (my father has a load of them) and maybe I'll look into the voltages then. The CPU and MOBO are an i5 4440 and an ASRock B85M Pro3.I also plan to upgrade the CPU to a 4770 or 4770k as well, and maybe upgrade the RX 570 to something better like a 6600/XT. It's my project PC if it makes sense. Something to work on and tinker with while I have my main rig that just works for the real gaming and productivity.
>build a budget ~$1000 rig that can comfortably last the next 5 or so years until the market and future is more clear>splurge now and spend $2000-3000 and not have to worry about the next 10 yearsWhat's the better play right now?
when will this end
>>107482139>>build a budget ~$1000 rigspec it out and see what it gets youit'll be even less than it would have got you only 8 weeks ago
>>107482116>Looking to buy a laptop....>... Anyone got any recs?Yeah, KYS.
>>107482142Why are big box stores that got these supplies out of inflation now following online retailer trends?Do they not see how this hurts their reputation?
>>107481843>supposedly telling AIBs to source their own VRAM.Does this mean they are allowed to add more VRAM than what NVIDIA specs or is there a clause that punishes them for trying that?
Welp, one of the 170 mm fans on my Lian Li 217 is cooked straight out of box. Tries to spin but fails and stops over and over. Any experience with Lian Li customer service?Other than that build went smooth, Im moderately happy.
>>107482196>Any experience with Lian Li customer service?
>>107482156C'mon anon don't be mean, it's a present for someone. I'd love to build them a tower but there isn't room
RAM ticked up again lmao
>>107482196custom fans are on their aliexpress page, go there
JUST KEEP WAITING DON'T BUY
>>107482116for that price im pretty sure u can get a 2560x1600 240hz oled screen + 5070 or something laptop or am I crazysomething like thatgood display on laptop is super underrated if you gonna main ithave not had a single problem with lenovo legion for a while so maybe they are good idk
>>107482258This is all speculative pricing which makes this even worse. Just ignore it and watch them seethe once they are holding the bag
>>107482142>>107482258rookie numbers
>>107482272this is what waiting led us to thoughwaitkeks took the biggest L of their livesand things are looking like they will get much worse soon
>>107482272YES IT'S ALREADY WORKED OUT SO WELL HASN'T LET'S WAIT 1 NO 4 YEARS
>>107482267Pretty cheap, 7 bucks for fan, 10 for shipping. Sucks that its such a weird size, literally nobody makes them. Oh well.
>>107482142its 100% worthwhile to break down that glass and take all of those FULLY STOCKED sticks
5600mhz 128gb kits are now over 900€could have bought 128gb 6400c42 for 390€maybe I should have scalpmaxxed
>>107482135I'm kind of giving away where I am from5500X3D exists here, while 5600X3D is the vaporware one instead
>>107482196>meme fan sizesHonestly, deserved for purchasing and supporting that shit.
the prices will cave in less than a month, DIY retailers and AIBs are already panicking, soon it's AMD and intel, as they are server companies and servers need tons of ram, people are dumb and think the only server buyers are the mag7 companies but there are hundreds of thousand small business that need to upgrade and they can't, AMD and intel will be losing a lot of money with that
>>107482331they are cheap because they are just spare partsAtleast they are good and don't cost $40 like HAWN 180mm meme fans but the quality is much higher Lancool cases are cancer if your enviorment is very prone to get dusty
>$470 for 32GB RAM + a 870E mobo + a 280mm AIOReally debating boughtering this. Talk me off the ledge, /pcbg/.
>>107482391lol lmaothis will last atleast a year not a monthAnd laptop are next on the chopping block, HP and Dell laptop prices are expected to go up by 15% next month.All the fucking small medium business will have an hard time getting laptops for their employees
>>107482142The only quick way out is an AI crash. As long as hyperscalers have infinite money to throw around for HBM and enterprise RAM, they'll outbid the consumer DIMM market.If this lasts and manufacturers get confident that it's not a bubble, supply will eventually adjust, but that's years away.
>>107482424no it won't, this is a psyop, companies that have no fabs, no employees, no customers like openai buying 40% of all the ram produced in a year? it's obviously a scam and it's going to fall like a house of cards, it's not going to last longer than january next year, when the public companies have to show Q4 data and the scheme will be exposed
>>107482391Prices can't come down when all the wafers for next year are already purchased. No product, no price drop.
>>107482272Actually do wait. I bought today and with my luck that only means it will get better very soon.
>>107482391The US government is convinced that they need to let the techbros build their AI god so China doesn't reach muh singularity first, no one will intervene. Memory manufacturers are happy to sell their chips for more no matter who's buying. Unless China's industry catches up, most DRAM is made by like 3 corporations so it's not like those businesses will be able to bring their money elsewhere, they'll pay up or wait like everyone else.
>>107482423X870E starts at $235.95 rn. Given current RAM prices, this seems like a nice deal.
>>107482423I wouldn't use a rad smaller than 360, but I really don't have another argument.
>they think this will end soonNormies love the AI slop alreadyYou can make them pay a subscription for an AI that generates ads for you to watch
>>107482275my bad i guess i didn't realize that this is mainly for building PCs not laptops
>>107482522that is a laptop though
>>107482508280mm and 360mm have near the same cooling capacity funnily enough.
So what happens if the 9850X3D had a much better memory controller than the 9800X3D
got one for 200 euroshekels. what do you guys think?
>>107482358you can always ropemax
>>107482505It's one of the cheapest X870Es, MSI's Tomahawk. It's not a bad board by any mean, but it retails for $250.So it's basically $500 worth of parts for $470, except I don't need the AIO.Fuck it, went ahead and bought. FOMO too strong.
>>107482664It's a no-brainer for that price. I was a bit disappointed by mine but I got it for 700 eurocredits lol.
>>107482655nobody cares because there gains will be too minor, it's bunker time.If your system works you're comfy and you don't need to look at another man's system or be a jealous goblin
>>107482638The designation doesn't account for surface area after all. It's only about 1982 vs 2082.
>>107482664For that price it's probably stolen, but who cares, great deal. Go ahead and max out the clock and power limit, but don't touch the memory, it's pretty shit and will cause instability.
Is CPU bottlenecking generally a meme? What would be the minimum you would pair with a 5070 Ti?
>>107482742Maybe a 12700k?
>>107482088I don't give a shit about your financial situation; that is a question only you can answer.>>107482182They follow NVIDIA's spec, or they get 0 GeForce GPUs.
>>1074819497950X3D with the non X3D cores disabled, load boostit disabled and a negative 20mV offset in curve optimizer, be quiet! Dark Rock Elite set to "Performance Mode", idk what temp exactly you are interested in
>>107481748> right now?It doesn't make sense to buy ANY hardware "right now" because prices are inflated across the board because of Christmas. Wait until early January.
>>107482742not with modern slop games that run bitcoin miners in the background, no
>>1074819499800X3D, ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme, currently 36°C
>>1074819499950X3D Cooler master Atmos 360mm36CIt typically stays there even during summer
>>107482742yeah, if we're being reasonable about your cpu choices any ryzen 5000 series will dojust get the highest one your budget allows
>>107482742It depends on resolution, desired framerate and specific game. Personally I'm an FPS whore with a 1080p@540Hz monitor so every CPU is a bottleneck. But for the average person (either 1440p native or 4K with some upscaling) I'd say get an AM5 X3D CPU if you want to have a good experience in every title.
>>107482731the seller said it was defective since it crashed the system under full load but after testing it for two weeks i haven't found a thing wrong with it. i kinda assumed that he just had a shit psu for testing. i also bought a fully working 7800xt for 275 from the same seller since he had a lot of "second-choice goods"
>>107481842> 48GB DDR4WTF! For dual channel use one or two kits of two DIMMs, not three DIMMs.
>>107481949Hello agent.>5800X3D>Scythe Fuma 2>46C
>>107482782am5 x3d is overkill for the average person even with those resolutionsyou'd be surprised how few people care about ultra upscaling slop
so wtf happened
>>107482793At 3200MHz with modest timings it's probably stable. If he needs the capacity (for some reason) more than a higher frequency, it's fine.

>>107482742I was getting some nasty CPU bottlenecks with my 12400f at 4K120, so, definitely not that. I upgraded to a 9800x3d, so idk. Maybe a 9700x/14600k?
>>107482799The 7800X3D can barely get 1% lows of 60 in Stalker 2 and below that I'd consider it unplayable. I get it that it's a niche game and most people are used to some stuttering anyway but that's a really sad thing.
>>107481949Meaningless info without ambient temperature.
>>107482692Could sell the AiO, or use it as a Christmas gift.
>>107482749>>107482768>>107482779>>107482840fug, I shouldn't have skimped on the CPU back then. Oh well, I shouldn't have skimped on the GPU either. Guess I'll grab a 5070 Ti and something better than my current 7600. At least I won't need a new motherboard.
>>107482851Stalker 2, MHW, Witcher 3 remaster, CP77, etc. There's plenty of games that turn into stuttery messes with slow CPUs.
>>107482828what a lazy collab lolthe only design element that isn't a stock image on flat background is the side nameplate thing
>>107482655the 9800X3D already has a good memory controllerit doesn't matter because the point of 2:1 mode is to get your IMC synced with the infinity fabricif they've done an upgrade of the infinity fabric so you can do 2450 FCLK (9800/4) synced then that's a different matterdoubt it for a refresh, but sure)
Should i believe all this fear mongering? I have a 3080ti and i'm thinking of upgrading to 5090 and get a couple of ssd's to be future proofed. Is this worth?

Do I buy this and also can it run off the stock Intel cooler? If not then I won't buy it, not paying as much as a whole ass high end CPU (from 12 years ago) for a blowy metal thingy.
>>107483163> sold my 2x32gb ddr4 for $325Did you urgently need the money? Prices won't come down a lot anytime soon. Remember the history of GPU prices. This will be similar if not even worse.
Deal on Newegg.
>>107482084I'm curious, with your system specs does your pc actually feel outdated when using it? I'm starting to feel it but I'm on a 1080ti and 7700k so I'm curious if people like you just want to upgrade to have the newest parts, or if it's because your pc actually feels slow to use.
>>107483246Are those bad deals?I don't think that is when you consider the cost of these Mobos alone.I paid 280 for my GIGABYTE X870E AORUS PRO ICE
>>107483216i dont see how it can be worse than GPU prices. ram is easier to manufacture and not everyone needs more than 16gb ram so it's still relatively cheap unless you need more.
>>107483246We've gone from CPU/MOBO/RAM bundles to CPU/MOBO bundles to MOBO/RAM/AIO bundles
>>107483285It's a good deal if you need all the components.
Please roast
>>107483301AgreedI only buy my stuff typically in one go but I think that resolves most dooming for the multiple threads of retards dooming over building new. That's really generous when you see that mobo alone cost over 250 to begin with

Hey anons this might be the wrong general but i have hope that someone might know the answer in here since i didnt get any replies in the stupod question breadI need urgent help please.i'll try to keep it as short as possible>shake shaker at my desk, shaker breaks, some of the stuff gets on laptop keyboard>turn laptop off and try to wipe up the mess>remove some of the keycaps to see how bad it was >clean it some more and let laptop "dry" for a couple hours>later turn it back on, works, so far so good>notice arrow down button is the only one not working>decide to buy isopropyl alcohol to better clean the arrow down button>dry the button off and try to boot up laptop but nothinh works. Fuck it>starts disasemmbling it, all mayor component dry so far get to the keyboard>plastic welded shut>break of 100 pieces of plastic to get keyboard free >see some residue from shaker and what i assume isoprop that mixed with the crusted proteinshake still a bit moist.>dry it of and try to reasemble everything but a little tear in keyboard flexcable >fuck this shit, ill use a external keyboard >finish reassembly, still no working power button So my question now is, if its possible to jump the laptop via the mainboard lile you do with desktop mainboards and if someone knows the exact pin or lettering asus uses for thisThanks in advance

I'm returning my 9070xt Powercolor Reaper. Should I get a different model, or the same one?I have a FormD T1, so there is quite a bit of room for a larger card. But I'm not sure if it's worth it in terms of airflow or future cases/uses.

>>107483516> it's a 200W CPUOnce you enable PBO in BIOS it's 250W and beyond.If you don't want the CPU to get throttled you need all the cooling power you can get.My ALF420 runs full speed in Cinebench Multicore just to keep the temps below 78°C, an NH-D15 may get the exact same temps but doesn't allow for the same high clocks, the CPU will inevitably get throttled to keep the temps under 78°C.

>>107483724Better 0.1% lows, for the most part. But there are a few situations where you get bottlenecked by the CPU. It's only really worth looking into if you already have a pretty good GPU.
>>107483678That's pretty high end and being on AM5 means a CPU or GPU drop in when you want itI don't get it, gaming PCs aren't race cars, you don't need to spend $5000 every year on them on maintenance or anything like that. At the most maybe a few hundred bucks every couple years to upgrade a part. You guys should stop acting like it's a blood covenant where you are locked into it for the next 10 years minimum.

>>107483724The CPU is the one that sends instructions to the GPU. If your CPU is slow at sending instructions then your entire PC becomes slow. Just look at PS5 Pro how they have a stronger GPU but same CPU as the base version so games don't really run better.

Is this ram gonna work well with this mobo?Kingston Fury Beast, DDR5, 32 GB, 6000MHz, CL30 (KF560C30BBE-32)MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI
AMD WILL make the AM4 6800X3D on a 6nm node shrink with 3D-Vcache under the cores layer and an upgraded memory controller, it's going to happen, it's the only good thing to come out of the ram shortage, it WILL achieve 5ghz thanks to the 6nm lithography and make the AM4 -> AM6 jump real

So is there any reason to not get the OC version of a card if the price difference between it and its non-OC model is negligible? Like an ASUS Prime vs ASUS Prime OC. Noise and such should be more or less the same because it's the same model physically, right?
I bought a 990 pro 4tb, but this shit has me sweating. Should I return it and get a 9100 pro 4tb instead? It's $100 more expensive, but it's pcie 5.0 and twice as fast.

>>107483989There's no way the AI bubble will last til 2030, never mind 2035. Losing billions each month is unsustainable.
Where I am, second had am4 builds are dirt cheap even with current jewish tricks, what's the catch?
>>10748401755 is too much. I use a 42 and I think 48 is the most you could go comfortably. You also start losing out on PPI. I wish sub-50 inch TVs werent gimped on brightness.
>>107484197daed platform
>>107484190Not if you frame it as facing an existential threat. US tech CEOs and their friends in the government think they're in an AGI race with China akin to the nuclear arms race of the early Cold War.
>>107484203Decent enough for gaming though? 5600 should be enough to drive a 9070xt/5070ti at 1440p
>>107484190the whole US economy is now built on AI growth, they cant back down from it.
>>107484233not for 2025+ AAA

>>107484252The normies will go new years shopping, then go "uh oh, need to withdraw some funds from my portfolio" when they see their bing bing wahoos jacked up 2-3x because of memory costs, and the house of cards will go crumbling down
>>107484233Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the game. 5600 isn't that powerful now, but surely if you can still manage to bottleneck the GPU somehow with huge resolution the 5600 should do the trick. However I think you'd lose 10-15% performance easily compared to any modern chip + DDR5 speeds.
>>107483506That's pretty accurate desu, I think it's a decent build but not what I thought it would have been when I decided to upgrade
>>107483568Thought I'd play it safe with the GPU I have, but yeah the AIO was a mistake for sure
>>107483389I bought one at MSRP and was happy with it until FOMO pushed me into a 5070Ti and the B580 will either stay as a backup or I’ll build an HTPC with it. It’s a great card for the price and the drivers for me were rock solid. I hope Intel doesn’t give up their GPU business.
>>107484252going all in on it at this stage is unironically even stupider
>>107484269I mean, as a last resort in these trying times it's ok
450 euro CPU135 euro moboIt will be fine
>>107484309>eurono it won't. now go get droned in ukraine, anon.
>>107484300im sure they'll find something else even stupider to invest in right before that bubble collapses.
>>107483316>not getting 6000mhz rami know its a bad time, but seriously? you're gonna be running that pc with a ~1% bottleneck, for the next 5+ years because of that ram bro.
>>107484302I guess? I play older games, like BF4, BF5, some non-demanding, like WuWa and a bit of MW2, even if I PPT limit my 7600X to 65W max I still get the same frames with a 7800 XT. I lost interest in new games, so I'm totally fine with the performance, I think you should be also fine with that 5600, unless you really want to run very recent games at relatively high FPS. A 5600 will surely bottleneck a 9070 or 5070 Ti, but you can still upgrade to a 5700X3D or 5800X3D, but you'll see the GPU utilization anyway with Afterburner.
so Redstone tomorrow? I'm prepared for the 6-7000 series seethe.
>>107483380he doesnt need a 1000w psu for that specific combo no. 850w is 'fine', but it does mean if he ever wants to upgrade in the future, a new gpu may need more power.
>>107484309>>107483911
>>107484347X3D chips are way less sensitive to lower memory speeds. I only found a 4800 Mhz so I went for the 7600X3D to not feel the pain too much. Got the 32 Gig kit for 90 bucks a few days back so no way I am complaining about that absolute gift.
>>107484208Propaganda is certainly helpful, but at the end of the month, someone still has to pick up the tab for all these billions.China isn't anywhere near as scary as the USSR was, and quality of life for US consumers isn't anywhere near as secure as it was back in the Cold War days, either.>>107484252The AI bubble isn't magic. The housing bubble was hueg too, but still brought us the 2009 recession. Also, houses tend to have at least some lasting value. Data center hardware, not so much.
>>107484354Retards here think they are saving money by buying a new PSU every two years. Just let them do it.
>>107484296Awesome, my plan is to get one for a build, I've watched reviews but wanted inputput on real usage not just game testing, thanks king.
>>107484347>>107484406this but i was just too lazy to sell and buy new one
>>107483281It does not, even on 1440p. The only recent game it struggled a bit on was MGS3 remake, but it was still mostly smooth sailing. It was the recent chaos making me seriously consider buying, but there's just no point. I can play any game out right now and any game I'm somewhat interested in 2026 will likely play fine too. I bet I could make it through 2027 as well if necessary.Crazy to think that my B350 mobo is nearly 8 years old and I'm still playing new releases on high settings. Thankfully it's easy to replace if it suddenly dies, assuming it doesn't take anything else with it.
>>107484315You're thinking of rubles.

>>107484522my vega 64 had those leds above the two 8 pins and the more power it pulled the louder the coil whine got. honestly. the leds were just adding salt to the wound despite looking very cool.
>>107484489Do you have the AIO already? While the 9800X3D has like a 100+ Watt TDP rating, it usually needs way less. You could probably get away with a smaller AIO and a good fan profile without any impact to gaming performance. Then a smaller case would be possible
>>107482754Financial situation is irrelevant, the question is whether you go for performance or memory capacity.
>>107483995> but it's pcie 5.0 and> twice as fastOnly theoretically, practically it's not worth it. You won't read/write large enough files again and again from/to RAM to save a second or two on. Random access of smaller files shows hardly any difference. This is a great opportunity to safe money and invest it in something else that actually makes a difference.

>>107484850>Top: constant tinkering for a month+ prior to "stability" achieved, LONG assembly time, you have to disassemble the gpu first, and you potentially risk damaging VRAM from a bad OC.And yes, you'll OC the card, because who the fuck watercools a gpu to NOT OC it? Best case scenario you have to spend time flushing out the water and occassionally replacing a valve every ~6months, and a full clean out and reassembly every ~2 years, which is tedious, slightly risky and takes time.>Bottom; you install it, plug it in, setup 1-2 gpu stands to prop up the gpu, install the drivers, and you're done.
>>107484954i count crashed, instablity as down time that i could spend using the computer. so if something doesn't work and i have to trouble shoot. i just move to something else. no reason to waste time on something not working.
>>107484915meh, Arc Raiders has been working fine for me since launch day, even when i got weird popups saying the drivers weren't supported. I had like 1 crash ever, and it was after a 6+ hour simultaneous session, the vram obviously got clogged up. I restarted the game and still did a couple more rounds before stopping play.AMD's bad drivers are fine these days, it was more a problem with bad gpu architecture with the 6000 and prior generations.
>>107484309why not build 60 processor 60 mobo 40 memory basically same but slow
>>107484978I have had 0 problems with the driver, I DDU'd and installed it and it always worked, the problem is how little games use FSR4, AMD needs to push the technology to the devs faster, you can enable it with optiscaler on every game, but I want it native, I think redstone will have the same issue
>>107484954>>107484974you become faster than a 4090 just by using water and a different bios. as in you get a $3000 gpu upgrade just from switching cooling.
>>107485027very cool for running benchmarks, very wasteful for playing games
My goal is just to have a decent PC that can play things comfortably, 1080p is fine and I don't care about AAAsloppa.How much worse would a solid DDR4 build be than a DDR5 one? And how much money give or take would I save for going with a DDR4 build?
>>107485095ideally you would want to get a x3d cpu on am4 for that but they hold their value very well
fast forward to 2029>zen 7 on AM5 with super cheap DDR5 ram from all new supply built in 2026~8>amd UDNA2 cards with 64GB vram (flagship) 48 (midrange) and low end models with also 48 vram (lpddr5x)>CPUs will have more pcie lanes because running 2 GPUs in the system will be the norm for AI developersthat's when using local AI will start making sense, if you have an AM4/AM5 system that works and plays games today you should wait to upgrade unironically
>>107485095you can do 1080p with an APU, you don't even need a gpu these days
>>107485095issue with 1080p is, CPU will be a bottleneck faster than going with a higher res. While a 5600 might be fine for 4k with a 9070XT, it will slow down on lower resolutions. X3D will be your best bet on AM4. My 5800X3D is efficient enough and after checking some benchmarks, you won't see much difference in power draw, unless going for the 7600X3D with its 65 Watt TDP.
>>107484032or maybe the s95fOR maybe I just realize they are all too large for deskin' and return to tradition with the C5 42"but maybe that is not large enough toomaybe I return to ppi and 27" 4k32" -> ok size but not fun enough, still possible to play gaymes55" -> retarded huge on a desk and impossible to competitive game42" -> goated?!>>107484038nothing matters except subs>>107484094not a good one, think of it as a beta test for better onesbut yeah 60hz VA sucksI'm going back to oled>>107484202height wise yes 42" seems to be about the limit might even be slightly too high but at the edge, idk in setups people place them even higher than desk level like wtfbut yeah kinda annoying you can't get the best perf below 55but yeah 42" might be goated after all not sure, only one I have not tested size wiseno point in going 48 either I thinkmight have to try a c5 42"if it's more fun than a 32" but not as retarded as 55" then maybe it's goatedif not, back to cope with a 32" or 27"
>>107483316I wouldn't have chosen that motherboard... no postcode, 2.5g lan, doesn't seem to have anything to justify its price (good VRM but pretty much every x870 has that). Unless you got a bargain on it.
>>10748512014900k is the end game ddr4 cpu and best you can get if you are locked in on ddr4
>>107485163how's waiting working out for you? Sure the next perfect deal will come around in 2032 when god emperor Huang makes a mistake, allowing 10 additional fps for your government mandated VR hour. So generous!
>>107485292working great, I have a great machine
>>107485301only one? ngmi
>>107485163vram is cancelledmid range cancelledlow end cancelled8gb vram is the max you gonna get now
>>107485291this might be the only cpu that is going to be very rare in the future because of their failure rate. sorry i don't think this is a good ddr4 platform for someoen who wants to use this pc for a long time.
>>107485316it's ok to have wrong opinions
>>107485338estrogen cores
>>107485316if you haven't gotten your 14th gen chip replaced and the BIOS updated by now you kinda deserve it
>>107485373i didn't buy a defective cpu to begin with so i'm still one up on everyone else who bought one
>>107485227I just assumed more resolution = more expensive or better hardware. If that's not the case I'm not married to 1080p. The RAM price right now is more of a bottleneck than anything since DDR5 is on its own around $350 more than the DDR4 equivalent
>>107485383i know, you're still on a ryzen 1600loud and proud
>>107482452>companies that have no fabs, no employees, no customers like openai buying 40% of all the ram produced in a year? it's obviously a scam and it's going to fall like a house of cards, it's not going to last longer than january next year, when the public companies have to show Q4 data and the scheme will be exposedI doubt the actual money movers don't already know everything about the AI companies financial situations we do.
>>107485393yeah sure. talking into the void again?
>3080ti>12900k>64gb ddr4How fucked i'm i if i don't upgrade before the massive price increase?
>>107485536You're fine for now. Don't FOMO. I have a similar system and it'll easily last for another three years. Obviously if you're making money from your system, or if there are annoyances and you have money to burn, why are you even bothering to ask?
>>107485536it's over you can't even run minesweeperyou are cooked
Leakers just said Direct X12 Shader Model 6.9 is releasing soon and some big announcements will happen afterwards
>>107485554will you get any ssd's at least?
>>107485536you are absolutely cooked and should just trash the whole system. i can take it off your hand if you want.
>>107485586I already have 3 TB of SSD storage and 16 TB of HDD storage
>buy a tv>can't run higher than 60hz due to no hdmi2.1 port on my shit top>buy a 4k240hz oled monitor>can run 4k240 with dp flawlesslymaybe I should just buy a pg32ucdmr or a xg27ucdm and call it quitsthere is nothing better

>>107485638no.
>>107485400the second a small server farm, can man and coordinate ~100 military drones with decent synchronization and perform operations to real-time standards, the future of AI will be ensured. Maybe not at this current ambition and scale, but AI server farms will 100% be a thing well into the future, and at worst, it will be major governments militaries that will pay for them.

>>107476960welp i >>107476904 looked into it and realized i was fooked. i was trying to shoehorn the 9800X3D and an RTX 5070 2.5 slot into a Jonsbo T9 for <reasons related to minisforum having shit quality> but decided to get a Lian Li A3 and an Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 for this (re) build>the T9 is really good minimalist ITX tho>kek they lie about SFX-L in pic related, SFX PSU only
>>107485238>height wise yes 42" seems to be about the limit might even be slightly too high but at the edge, idk in setups people place them even higher than desk level like wtfHeight is not the problem. Most of the time I'm looking down if I'm using it fullscreen, which I think is actually better for your eyes but less comfy on the chair. I've considered putting the TV on a stand to gain desk space, but eh, it's not a big deal. The big compromise with these larger screens is pixel density. Maybe a 48 G5 would be better than a 42 C5, but the differences will be minimal as the 48 G5 is gimped in comparison to the 55.
>>107486216>Height is not the problemit is though, put a 55" on your desk and the natural line of where you eyes land a 32" fully bottomed out is around the max height to be looking down, 42" probably a touch higher55" you have to look up to see the topyou wanna be able to just look horizontal and downit's kinda straining on your eyes looking ulooking up not even once
>>107486216>The big compromise with these larger screens is pixel density.also ppi is not bothering other than it looks like ass yeahso yeah I guess ppi matters after all past a point but more than that the tv i tried had like scanlines and the fucking subpixels were like not aligning correctly as a pc out put yeah it was a messlow ppi iteself is not that bad ... I would guess
>>107486261>not bothering other than it looks like ass>are you guys blind or something? 4k on anything more than a 32" looks like absolute shit unless it's a dedicated /gayming/ screen
>>107486377not sure how much it was purely to faulty tv rendering and how bad low ppi actually isfucking VA
>>107481669the thread is about to sage but thanks for the you on my old gfx card pic :)
