Reminder to not get shilled by the intel shills that have been ruining these threads for months. Iceberg Tech just tested the 285k with 8000mhz memory and the 200S boost and it loses to even the 7800x3d on BF6. If you are a gaymer buy X3D. Intel CPU's are only good for people that do work on their PC, the E-Cores are wasted on gaming and you are just getting an 8 core cpu without all the cache X3D chips have that helps way more for gaming then 8000 mhz meme memory.

> RX 9070 XT or 7900XTX?

Unless you very specifically need the vram, there is absolutely no reason to get a 7900XTX over a 9070 XT. The 7900 XTX is more expensive, has less of the fancy features, and generally performs worse on basically every benchmark I have seen. If you intentionally turn off all of the upscaling and ray-tracing and all of that nonsense, you only get about a 5% performance boost on benchmarking for most games, and they are both such good cards that you probably wouldn't notice that difference unless you're playing on 4k ultra all the time.

Really the only reason to get the 7900 XTX is if you really wanted the 24 gb of vram over the 16gb of 9070 XT or you need the 24 gb of vram for something productivity related like ML/AI/3d modeling/video editing etc. You probably aren't getting an AMD card for productivity stuff though. CUDA wipes the floor with ROCm in pretty much every circumstance.

Brother, Micron literally shit down their consumer RAM brand and have scaled back their ddr5 production (both of which are on pubic announcements from their corporate office) because consumer parts is such a low profit game considered to HBW.

Consider this, HBW uses dozens of times more wafers per batch of units because its architecture is inherently less efficient. If Micron makes the HBW modules they get to charge tens of thousands of dollars for the same amount of raw material as a few hundred dollars worth of ddr5. If Micron doesn't get the contract for the HBW, they can still get the contract for the wafers, which they can charge more for because HBW sells for so much more.

It's like wondering why NVidia has shifted away from consumer cards and towards business, datacenter and workstation cards. For the same fab capacity, they could make 2 dozen HB1000's that they sell at $60k per unit, or they could make a about 100 5080's which they sell to AIB's for about $650 per unit. Which one do you think they want to prioritize?

>>107512204
I prefer spending half as much twice as often. It's about even (or slightly better) if you average out the performance over a long period of time, but you never hit these walls where things are too hard for your hardware to run. Also, you can delay an upgrade and not feel so bad.
If you only upgrade once every 5-7 years, you might get fucked by bad timing right when you plan to upgrade.

Plus you get to build more PCs and you end up with more spare hardware.

>>107512204

You're right, in situations like this and with the fact that graphics have hit a plateau there's really no reason not to max out your build. This is the perfect time for pc gamers to practice what they preach and build that 10 year machine.

If you're really building a 10 year machine, I would waitfag for a little longer. AMD is moving from 5nm to 2nm with Zen7 which should be a massive leap, not to mention ddr6 and a brand new socket for upgradeability. Same with RDNA4 -> UDNA.

You should be buying low-profile memory modules if you plan to use a large dual-tower CPU cooler (GSkill Ripjaws, Klevv V Bolt, Corsair Vengeance, Teamgroup T-Create, etc).
Find the RAM module's height from its spec sheet; the low-profile ones are usually under 40mm.
Worst case, you can set the CPU fan a bit higher than where it's supposed to be.

Did I fuck up?

RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200)

>>107511976
Current market situation is a result of a manufactured shortage cased by the collective efforts of NAND/RAM cartel. For the past 3 years they were CUTTING DOWN PRODUCTION LINES AS THEY HAVE "OVERSUPPLIED AND "LOWMARGRIN MARKETS WERE FURTHER DEPRESSED" The datacenter buildup has begun in 2023~ unsurprisingly this is the year when the first production cuts begun.
The plan is to cause a shortage, profit from it, screw the market for at least half a decade and blame it on the AI boom.
Naturally they were fully aware of the upcoming demand spike as all parts of the bubble are at least partially owned by Blackrock & Vanguard and every cartel exec is Jasen's dinner buddy.
The actual shortage comes down to wafers, math is fairly simple: us consumer dogs, manufacturers and datacenters are competing for the same wafer. Guess who pays more.
ANY STATED PRODUCTION INCREASES ARE NOT AIMED AT THE CONSUMER OR MANUFACTURER MARKET
Currently there is no shortage on any of the consumer market segments, the price hike is entirely down to collective psychosis
Real shortage
- is expected to hit q2-q3 2026
- will last at least until q-4 2027 if they hate money and q2-q3 2028 if they are sane capitalists
- will affect GPU prices starting from q-2 2026, sooner because psychosis
- will most likely affect consumer DDR6 implementation
- it becomes effectively impossible to oversupply for the next 5+ years so the price will be stable and high
The results are self evident, RAM/NAND doubles in price, everyone important gets a cut, PC/console/phone costs up to 1500$ more and local LLM movement gets its legs blown from under it.
Maybe some legislator will get prodded enough to pretend to care and then some Hyung Pak Cuck goes to a one room apartment for like 5 years, he will have to settle only for one underage prostitute visit a day, 2* michelin cuisine and the true horror, no cocaine. Once he is out he will become a top Samsung exec.

you want to be grounded. just go literally barefooted (no socks). It's annoying, but I always do it when installing components, up until I am booted up. If more tinkering in the case is needed, back to barefooted (since I'll have the power off at the power supply).

>>107513299
you high? its the current gen, CPU & mobo aside pick fucking anything you want it will work.
CPU dictates what motherboard you get and what is your limit on the GPU and RAM

>>107513299
easy. you might need to lower the speed of the ram a bit if you get 6400+ with an amd cpu but otherwise there shouldn't be any compatibility issues.

>>107511675
Does anyone have any experience delidding older intel CPUs? Specifically 6000-8000 series? My CPU now has a 40c spread across the cores and throttles. I can only presume the paste below the IHS is now dust or has an air pocket. My NHD15 is mounted flat and fine. This CPU always ran very hot despite only a 90W TDP.

jeez all it needs is a cable, dude.

What price are we realistically looking at for the 5070 Super if it doesn't get cancelled?
I'm really thinking hard on the video card thing because I can't decide if I should go 1440p or commit to 4k for my monitors. How do people who play a lot of old games navigate monitor choice knowing they won't support more than 1080p rendering if not less than that?

Currently Considering upgrading the storage on my pc. Probably gonna get a maybe 500gb-1tb SSD so I can dual boot windows just to run some editing software and a few games that don't work on linux.

But I'm also considering getting some HDD's just to have that extra bulk storage, I currently only have 2TB of storage since I was stupid and when building thought 2TB was more then enough.

Have HDD's gotten to the point where its perfectly fine to just use them as game/other storage? or are they still horrible? I had a friend who only had HDD and it would take him ages to load into any multiplayer game, that was a while back so I'm unsure if they are better now

>>107513559
price??

>>107513513
If it doesn't get cancelled? +$50 to +$75 over the base 5070. It is supposed to be a higher binned chip with more cores active (all cores?), so it is unlikely that it will be the same price. It is not considered to be in an overpriced position at the moment so there is no justification for a refresh to keep or lower the prices to make it more enticing. Realistically memory prices are going to make this a very very silly clown deal if it isn't cancelled. I think the 3GB modules are relatively new and so Nvidia couldn't possibly be sitting on a stockpile of those while they waited for more high bin chips.

Technically speaking 4k monitors will scale 1080 output accurately while 1440p ones will not, but you are not a career pixel hunter and so you shouldn't really care. Going 4k with a basic 5070 will severely hamstring your graphics options freedom.

>>107511877
Pulse is a decent card, but it's got more mind share than other better cards because it's Saphire, and because it was one of the few that cost $600 at launch. You can still get a hellhound (medium-long but 2.5 slots) or Steel Legend (shorter but 3 slots) for $630 and they are as good (steel legend) or better (Hellhound) than the Pulse. Only reason I'd pay extra for a pulse is if you absolutely needed two HDMI ports.

that's... my current config

Should I just get a 5070TI at this point to replace my aging 2060, or keep waiting on seeing if nVidia even bothers with a 5000 super series? My card's 6gb VRAM is such a complete bottleneck in my Substance Painter projects. Modern games also looking aids due to modern-day devs forgetting the art of texture streaming. Mainly wanting to hit 1440p/120hz at respectable settings here on most games.

It's between MSI & Asus for price-points I'm after (most of the makes are CAD$1000'ish at present), even though the former has noise issues, and the latter has aids customer support. At least the mid-range cards are back in stock in general of late, compared to most of the year prior.

>>107514089
the kit I bought for $400 3 weeks ago is now being scalped for $800

>>107514169

>>107513991
Ryzen is ok. The degradation issue was with 13th/14th gen Intel.

>>107513247
rma your 13700k then if you have ddr5, sell the cpu replacement and board and switch to ryzen. if you have ddr4, sell the cpu replacement anyway and get a 12900k(s). do not bother with the 5950x since its a downgrade in every way to the 13700k and 12900k

How likely is a 5070ti to fall off for 1440p anyway? I feel like 90% of increase in demand in the last half decade is raytracing adoption, and that's done now. Is there any similar BS meme incoming to make everything run 20x shittier for no reason?

>>107514257
all gpus will fall off quickly by getting gamedevs to increase ray bounce from 3 spp to >4 which linearly increases the gpu load. 5090 can be made into a 1080p60 gpu easily if nvidia wishes it be to one

>>107514278

16gb vram is already falling off if you do any sort of modding or AI

B650 or b850 for my 7800x3d brehs

What are some good fans for GPU deshroud modding? I heard people put Noctua NF-9's for their static pressure but I thought about putting be quiet! fans. My cooler is heatsink limited so it makes no difference if the three 96mm fans spin at 1850-2050 RPM for 160-200W TDP due to the vBIOS. So 3 pins could also work.

Was directed here, but am building a new PC soon (well paying a company to do so but whatever) and while I do not have complete specs here are the main parts I am planning on buying. Just wanna make sure there is nothing important that could cause issues I am overlooking.

Just take it lol. If you're worried about melting issues, you can always get a $200 wireview pro II to monitor the current distribution

>>107516100
>PSU: Corsair 1500W HXi ATX
also, get an atx3.1 psu that has a native 16-pin connector implemented. I have a similar corsair psu with the 2x 8-pin to 16-pin cable and there's too much play on the psu side's sockets which severely fucks with current distribution and is a major melting risk.

>>107516143
Should I worry too much about that since I play 1080p? I am concerned about melting and general hardware issues that I know plague the 5090. I wanted to get an ASUS ROG ASTRAL but the company ain't offering it.
>>107516159
I'll keep that in mind. Major melting risk for the PSU right? I had a PSU crap out on my on my current machine a year or two ago, had to replace it obviously.

>>107513247
Mostly yes, some CPUs are still degrading but they are a small batch compared to the original mayhem. I do think the issue was indeed (mostly) solved as I have seen Dell/HP prebuilds with i7 14700 still sold brand new.
If you want to err on being cautious, you can just limit the VID request to 1.4v on your motherboard config. That works very well.
I have a i9 13900k that I bought used like 6 months ago in a bundle. It is not degraded in any way or form, but in order to keep it safe, I capped the VID request to 1.4v. I don't use it daily, but till now, that CPU works fine. Zero instability.

>>107515887
What the actual fuck is this design? Fans blow hot air onto the cable?

don't buy just keep waiting

>>107516324
>Major melting risk for the PSU right?
For the psu and gpu. I'm using an astral 5090 and just having it seated on a random try creates a huge variance in current anywhere from 4-13A on the best and worst pins at 600W which is not great since its supposed to be up to 9.2A as per the atx spec.
it takes a couple of reinsertions and moving the cables just in the right position over 10-30 minutes to get all pins to balance +/-5% or 8.0-8.7A on amperage draw

>>107513247
since you're asking "Is the degradation on 13th gen really fixed with the new updates?" i'm gonna assume you didn't update the BIOS after you received a new chip
if you did then provide more details, how do you know your 13700K "shit the bed again"?
>>107516438
>I do think the issue was indeed (mostly) solved as I have seen Dell/HP prebuilds with i7 14700 still sold brand new.
raptor lake is still being produced, i have a 14700K produced in 2025
which means intel is still manufacturing new chips with 5 year warranties
>It is not degraded in any way or form, but in order to keep it safe, I capped the VID request to 1.4v
that's a little low if you're at stock voltages
not a big deal really, but you might be stuck at like 5.4 GHz most of the time

I'm mad I didn't buy 64GB when I built my PC ~2 years ago. I had a 64GB kit but returned it because expo wasn't working, and settled on 32GB instead because it was half the price.
other than that it looks like I built at the perfect time. everything has already peaked. nothing will improve from here.

Just now when I turned on my pc the orange light on the motherboard that usually shows up for just a few seconds lasted 20 seconds and it took twice as long for my pc to boot. No other lights came on and it seems to be functioning normally. Can that happen every once in a while? Should I be worried?

why get a passive cooler then use case fans anyways?

For lulz.
Got a normal air cooler stashed somewhere too.

But passive coolers like this are designed for high airflow cases first, open bench second. For full passive build you'd need a custom case that doubles as a heatsink.

For that reason I got the nano texture. It's a nice screen, but if you don't need the screen that gets brighter just get the air, it's super light and jus as gud

Follow up, just noticed one of my hard drives was missing. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it showed up again. Ran crystaldiscinfo and it's reading as caution. I don't understand all the other numbers, how worried should I be? Could that have been the cause for the previous light and long boot time?

>>107516698
bro, there will be no new hardware in 2026, it's that simple, by 2027 all new fabs will be operational and AI demand will be largely satisfied and then we'll get new gpus, new consoles, new laptops, etc etc

I measure it after doing it with everything else on default settings, and the core was boosting to 5.7Ghz. So I lost just 100mhz. After undervolting and theaking Load lines it worked fined.
From my experience, most i9s do not need that high voltages to get their boost working, the problem is switching from low load to high load and vise versa.

Did any tower cooler come out that shits on the NH-D15s? I mean not by a small margin.

>>107517147
>After undervolting and theaking Load lines it worked fined
yeah that's different then
if you run it out of the box with the new microcode and set a 1.4 V cap it will limit your boost somewhat
5.7 is good, you don't need more

I see no reason to not use AIO now that they are dirt cheap unless your case is tiny or you have hydrophobia.
Twin towers are fucking bulky and block a lot of shit.

Yeah then go MBP. I got the smaller one, but again I sit outside in a chair under a tree and work with the laptop on my lap, so I wouldn't want much bigger.

I don't mind 60hz for work, but shit for just about everything else. If you're gonna be in sunlight, get the nano texture. For upping the brightness I use better display tool.

I have too fully loaded M3 ultras whatever (the one with the memory that gets posted) so I could use one of those as a desktop but honestly the MBP is more than enough to drive my monitors. I had to have work get me a nice Thundergay 4 docking station.

>any uninterruptable power supply brands you guys like?
After seeing that pretty much all the brands have their own shit-tier, same-manufacturer-different-branding line of products in the sub-$200 price bracket, I would say trust none of them. A lot of the time people will recommend the enterprise UPS suppliers, Eaton, Vertiv/Liebert, etc, for their perceived quality, but you can still get duds/bad units from them too.

That said, I've got a Vertiv-Liebert UPS that's been rock solid through power outages (aside from an obnoxious beep that happens every few seconds until it runs out of juice or you forcefully shut it down). It has some mixed reviews on Amazon and is allegedly not very good for offsite UPS-use due to issues when the battery drains completely, but for keeping a gaming PC alive long enough to safely shut down and the price I paid (got it half off from a local store trying to liquidate), it does what I need it to do.

I have a APC 1500 Lion. Keep in mind if your UPS is small, or sized "jus right" it might spin up annoying fans when it's working (not even on battery) when you pull a high watt load. Get one that doesn't do that or is oversized.

Hi guys, I'm this mexican guy from the previous thread >>107510687
who thought about buying a 9060xt, a new PSU and just slapping it into an old system, I did some research and realized how stupid this is, the best option is just getting everything new, so I'm trying to put together a PC for 1080p high to 1440p medium graphics on a tight budget
Pic related is what I've thought about so far, I don't even know if this actually fits inside the case, I'm very illiterate when it comes to all this, but the case is what I care the less about, idc if it looks ugly as long as everything fits well and the air flow is decent
This would cost me 18k MXN so 1k USD, I know it sounds super expensive but that's because of the importation taxes, there's no way around it, and the second hand market here is practically non-existent for PC gaming
I really need you guys' suggestions to make this a little bit better without making it super expensive, or maybe even decreasing the total price if possible

On AM4 can I disable boost frequencies to cap CPU to its base speed but keep PBO enabled for Curve Optimizer?
