is this worth itt. poorfagfor 1080p gaming
>>107538905yeah that'll do itit's a blower so it'll be loud as fuck though
just paid 310 for a 4tb nvme drive and 340 for 64gb ddr5 6000 ram fml
>>107538952why?
>3080ti just died
>>107538967afraid it will get worse price wise and I have been using my old system for almost a decade.
>>1075389052080 Ti should still be alright for 1080p, yes, but $210 for one seems crazy to me. Are prices really that fucked?
>>107538989imagine how much money you could've saved if you upgraded after 9 years instead of 10let that be a lesson to never wait
It's hard to choose between 27" 4K and 32" 4KThere's a lot more options at 27" 4KI thought I always wanted 32" 4K everything monitor but I'm beginning to think it's not possible. Monitors seem too specialised now. Gaming/Office/Art you have to pick a lane or get multiple
>>107538905Probably the best you can get for $200, go for it.
>>107539015having 2 monitors is pretty standard and having monitor arms makes positioning convenient for different tasks
Ok so now thanks to DDR5 retardation, DDR4 prices just doubled and it's not over, and I can't find a 5700X3D or 5800X3D under 350 bucks, and no way I'm paying those prices for oldass CPUs.I can get a 5950X for 250 bucks though. Y/N? Feels like a waste, the 3D ones would be more useful to me, but what can you do.
>>107539015I wouldn't bother with 4K at 27".
>>107538974Time for you to just die, anon.
>>107539052it was working fine until i did a bios update on my mobo. igpu works but dgpu is no longer detected. i tried everything.
>>107539135Have you tried it on a different PC?
>>107538989would be funny if you bought the top
It is time boys.
>>107539246how did you afford all that ram
can somebody tell me where the difference between the MSI A850G, A850GLS, A850MPG psu is? they are all 80+ Gold, PCIE 5.0 ready, modular and cost exactly the same
>>107538943>it's a blower so it'll be loud as fuck thoughis a blower really going to be that much louder than your average dual fan gpu? my main worry is that it'll get so hot that it'll throttle its performance regularly
>>107539298https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/
I bought this case and this is how I oriented my 6 fans. 3 intake bottom 3 exhaust top which is the AIO. Any tips on where I could add more fans if I need to?
since getting my 9800x3d i could hit 165hz more often on the games i play but hotspot temps hit 100c much quicker as a result unless i tone down mv and pl. should i be adding more fans at this point cuz im gonna need a new case for that too
>>107539234That would be a bummer but I'd survive. probably my last pc anyway
I got a 9070 XT and the only game that I'm interested that can fully utilize it is RE9 next year.
I'm thinking about buying a 40 something inch tv or monitor as my side monitor, I'll then retire my 2011 monitor.Move my newer AOC monitor to the side as a vertical.using oled as my main, the TV as a side, and a vertical as a browsing aid.What are my choices for the dedicated media one on the left.I'm thinking no need for anything over 120 frames.response time is whatever also, I don't really plan on gaming on it, don't want something expensive, and since I plan on just letting youtube sit on this monitor, no OLED too
>>107539300If you cover her mouth, she looks like a chicken Yeah blower hits throttle way too fast, hence the louder fan to compensate. It's a cool concept, but only works on isolated airflow like how modern PSU are set
>>107539318>9070 XT and the only game that I'm interested that can fully utilize it is RE9Kek'd.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyHBDhwotpohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc82Li1tn_0
>>107539314Another 3 intake at the side, and exhaust on back
>>107539364MHW showed Capcom don't give a shit about performance he'd better buy a 5090
>>107539267My wife's boyfriend gave it to me.
>>107538905Arc B580 for like $40 more
>>107538974gpus only last 4 years now before dying?>>107539015swap to oled and there's less options at 27 than 32>>10753903213900k or a 14900kcome home white man>>107539246are you that guy with 4 8tb 9100s from last thread>>107539323I mean if you are physically gonna pay for it there is no other option than a c5 42" oled unless retardedyou do not want a VA tv under no circumstancesI can guarantee you you will hate your life is you do not follow my advice for multiple reasonsthere is simply no other option
>>107539565I'm not buying an oled, I'm well aware how much static image I just let sit on those side monitors.oh yeah, I tested the vertical monitor thing with my old as fuck VA2448m-LED Viewing angles are a thing I hadn't considered.I can't see shit in vertical mode with my old ass monitor.
>>107539246>one single drive for all your data, your OS, and your vidya>one single point of failure>one set of internal DRAM for literally everything.You really should have gotten 1x 1TB for OS+important drivers, and 2x 4TB's for games + storage separately. Otherwise, aside from all the asus products, great choices. NZXT are a great brand but im in love with TRYX's aesthetics atm and wish i had gotten one of theirs over my trusty arctic freezer III 360.>>107538974were you OCing it alot? did you get artifacting before it died?
Gem alert (sponsored by NVIDIA)
>>107539318>utilize it is RE9 next year.Uh oh, someone doesn't know Nvidia sponsored the game and is being shown off with path tracing
>>107538952340 for ram like that is a bargain, what brand?>>107539234this aint the top, but waitcucks getting eternally BTFO is comedy gold to me. Sooo glad i jumped on a full dream-system build early this year the second the 9950x3d's came out.
pic rel or a fractal north or hyte x50?
>>107538905If you have the psu for it yes. It can be compared to the 5060
>>107539672kingston fury. not my first choice due to the rgb stuff but only thing that looked somewhat reasonable priced
>>107539677out of the 3, the HAVN are the best afaik.
WuWa still crashes on Nvidia
>>107539677havn with the included fans or north because they are quite cheap. hyte is in the middle and iirc doesn't come with fans
>>107539583everyone has abandoned the 40"+ 16:9 monitor segment unless it's some ultrawide going only thing left left is lg tv and all other tvs are either budget shit or some some vait's over for 42" enjoyers
>>107539732Well...what are my options then?It has to be at the very least bigger than my center monitor.Which is currently a 27 inch oled
>>107539677I'd pick x50, the monochrome ones, purely on looks
>>107539677It really depends on how much you want those fans if your goal is low spinning damn near silent fans still moving a boatload of air go for it the FLOW version doesn't come with the bracket to use regular fans on the front though, have to get the other model that comes with no fans, which sucksthe x50 is cute but that price with ZERO fans is a bit of a slap in the faceAt this point I'd pick Meshify 3 over a North
>>107539677All are good choices imo. I'd throw in the Lancool 207 as a budget pick as it looks like you are after air flow
>>107539643>1x 1TB for OS+important drivers, and 2x 4TB's for games + storage separately.buying 1tb for main drive, kekmaybe 4tb if you wanna conserve money seeing as they some times are like 3x as cheap to 8tbwhy would you ever buy that?just use as main drive and install all your slop there8tb as main drive is chad, just install slopmaybe have backup of dogshit elsewhere>>10753974142" lg on salepeople have been running static shit on them for years they wont break in a secondif anything u will get dead pixels in 5 years more than burn in im guessing40" there are no options42" c4 was like 699€ lowest here before, good value at that pointwhy would you not?I should have buyed
Is there any way I can unfuck the audio jacks on my case? I may have bent them from the weight of my cables or from the adjacent USB broadband modem. I just reconnected the jumper cable back into my soundcard and now front audio doesn't work at all even if I wiggle around my jacks.
>>107539565>are you that guy with 4 8tb 9100s from last threadI wish, I only have one :,(>>107539643After I boot it, I plan to move my current pc's SSD, a 4 TB 990 Pro, into it. Oh yeah, I love the screen of the TRYX with panorama, but I have good experiences with the kraken in a previous build, so I wanted to go with the safe and proven option.
>>107538775MFW selling my DDR5 RAM on my main driver
brother gifted me some shitbox dell optiplex with no graphics card and i want to put my old GTX 970 in it but the PSU is some trash that doesnt have the 6 and 6+2 pins needed for the GPUwould it be safe to use some molex adapter or do i need to buy a brand new PSU just to get this working?
>>1075398561. good luck finding an external drive that isn't mechanical that is 8TB's2. i see my point went over your head, you'll learn in time, the hard way.500gb for OS drive then, whatever, it doesnt matter, the quality of the drive matters, and there's not many good storage drives to be found new anymore at the 500gb range.
Should we expect cases and mobos to tank in price since everything else is too expensive for people to buy new PCs?
>>107540013no, be a retard, by a psu cable adaptor, i wanna see you crying with a selfie of your house burning down.
>>107540024They could also just increase prices to squeeze more from whales
>>107540024could be they halt production and put all the inventory in warehouses to wait
>>107540015>1. good luck finding an external drive that isn't mechanical that is 8TB'splenty 8tb external ssd even cheap>2. i see my point went over your head, you'll learn in time, the hard way.what was the point?

A friend of mine has had a PC with i7-11700k, 32GB DDR4 and RTX 3070 for about 4 years now, and he only ever plays games in a 768p window, on a 60Hz 1080p monitor, and caps them to 30 FPS because "he can't tell the difference" between 30 and 60+.I think he has unintentionally future proofed himself for a decade by playing like this.Hell, Halo Infinite was what made him upgrade from his old i7 4790k and GTX 760 Ti PC to this one, because it was the first game he was unable to play at 768p30 on that.I wish I could be like that. Just have low enough standards that would allow me to drag my PC along for many years. For me, 60 FPS at settings which don't ruin the game's artstyle (e.g. disabling Lumen in a UE5 game) is the bare minimum.
I'm a fucking sleep deprived fool. I connected my USB card reader to my SOUND CARD.
>>107540092do sound cards have USB? I'd assume only 3.5mm jack and that bigger one, as anything with a USB or Type-C plug should have it's own DAC theoretically
>>107539364It's expected. I didn't want to spend another $200 for a 5070 Ti nor settle for 12 GB.
I need some help with this, is the task manager supposed to show low GPU usage while some games have subpar performance without HAGS?In pic related the performance is basically the same but in the Wukong benchmark I get around 120fps with HAGS on and 60-75fps when off, stress tests also only show a few % GPU usage when HAGS is off specifically aida64 and occt.It feels weird that HAGS has such a huge impact.
>>107540154post some hags from WuWa
>>107540088I only upgrade when my hardware is straight up dying. I lasted 8 years before needing to upgrade.

Should I buy one 32-27 inch monitor or dual 24 inch monitors?
Can someone tell me if a motherboard with a USB 3.2 gen 2 header will work with a PC case that has a USB 3.2 gen 2x2 front panel port/cable?I understand that it will only run at 10gbps but I just want to make sure the cable and header are compatible

Odds of my wife forgiving me if I buy the 57" Odyssey Neo G9 Gaming Monitor G95NC? She already let me buy a 5090 matrix for xmas.

>>107540478these ain't intel days enjoy your hour long memery training
I'm thinking in getting an actual GPU before the prices hikes, I've been relying mostly on my vega 8 in a CPU Ryzen 7 5700g and honestly I didn't want to spend too much money on a GPU but the clock is tickling and Warhammer doesn't run well with vega 8so, do you guys think the RTX 5050 will increase it price next year? and if it is worth it at all, for what I've see online even an RTX 3050 6gb would be a big upgrade compared to my humble VEGA 8 but I fear that the RTX 30 Series ended up without supporting one day and I ended up being forced to buy 'the new thing"Also, is the RTX 5050 better than the RTX 3060 because the RTX 3060 has way more vram but not sure
>>107540478cpu cable
>>107540499the psu to cpu one?
>>107540478Literally me but in reverse. it works, it's time to go to sleep, I shut down the PC, Windows closes off, the screen doesn't display anything anymore as expected and... fans as still spinning, hard drive are still spinning, GFX card is still spinningPC is shut down but at the same time it's not shut down. What in the fuck. It's completely random, most of the times it shuts downs completely as expected, sometimes it does this.

But I now have to sell off the HAF 932 I was prospectively looking to build in because it was fucked by cigarette tar. I was gonna 3d print so much shit for it and put wheels on it.
goddamn i already bought the parts i wanted why am i still visiting this general

>>107540653i think this might be where i went wrong toomy mb installation booklet feels kinda misleading, do i need to have both the ATX_PWR slot AND the CPU_12V_1/CPU_12V_2 slots plugged in to my PSU?

>>107540700it is a stupid location. since beafy cpu air coolers came out it hasn't been the same. aio bros got this one thing over air coolers. evga just rotated the socket and vrm which was based.
Why don't they just put RAM slots on the back of the board to minimise the distance to the CPU and prevent any intersection of cooling?

>>107541300oh and my budget is probably $400 for PSU, I can go over but I really, really don't.
>>10753901532" is much better for 4k than 27". Pixel density is already very high and you will run into UI problems with older games and applications, problems that are ONLY EVEN WORSE on just 27" to the point of total unusability. I "suffer" 4k on 32" since 2016. If you want a 27" for some reason, get one with 2k resolution. I own both and I never felt the desire to have 4k on my 27".
applefags be like anything below 1600p on 13 inch screen is too low ppi
>"okay this isn't so bad">now use your fat fuck fingers to slide in this extremely small gap of cables and components and plug this tiny ass cable into the motherboard>make sure its lined up the right way and you don't bend any pins on the way in
>>107541328Theres some stupid posts about ppiI assume its just some mix of living in the apple bubble and not understanding what people use pixels for.
>>107541300Get 850W and you will be able to upgrade to a Zen6 10-core and a 70Ti class GPU and still have some reserve to add internal storage or draw power from the USB4 ports of your super duper X870E.
>>107541328>1600p
>>107541393genuinely what can you even do with all of them pixels?
32gb or 64gb ram?
Would you?
>>107541463if it makes you happy sure>>10754145132gb is enough unless you do something specific for work
>>107541463> eye cancerDo you get it for free?
>>107541389Thanks, I know Im definitely getting at least 1000W.I'm very torn -- I look at the HSP Hydro TI 1000W, but apparently everyone says the cables are very stiff + I dont like the idea of 12V-2x6 (Id rather 2x6+2 Pin per other anons)I looked at Corsair HX1200i (2025) but apparently its a lottery whether you get one that 'clicks' while low usage/idle ... otherwise its overkill but the cables do look niceand Seasonic candidates are also overkill/super priced or I missed the Woot boat with that Prime 1200 the past week. Fuck.Super Flower is off the table, Ive never heard of them and I heard support is terrible. be Quiet scares me of tons of "pop" and explode situations when they get their first boot and filling the capacitors.Fuck me I am overthinking this.
Should I upgrade peripherals now (monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard,etc) or wait until Jan 2026 CES?
>>107541463Does't that gpu cost like 6 grand?
>>107541486> getting at least 1000W.If you can afford it why not? It doesn't hurt anything else but your purse.
what's the point of the SATA ports on my mb? it looks like i'm just running a cable from one section of my motherboard to another
>>107541501I can afford it I just want the best 1000W that has nice cables and lasts fucking forever and doesn't have any clicks/whines.10 years ago there weren't these many PSUs on the market with 2 different ATX standards (3.0+3.1+3.0 that are technically 3.1 but use different headers(?))
does anyone know if the corsair 1200e comes with the cable for the 12VHPWR connector? i read that the 1000e doesn't in the cultists tier list but i can't find a single review for the 1200e or even someone showing the packaging
Should I get 1tb of ram?
>>107541486I own several beQuiet PSUs and never had issues except for an outdated fuse failing in my home's power supply because the capacitors of the PSU sucked in all power at once when I switched on my Dark Power Pro 11. The same happens when I switch on industrial vacuum cleaners or other high power tools.An inrush current limiter solved the problem.
Didn't have a vertical way to mount the 3090 with semi-broken notch/dog ear looking thing, the one used for securing it in the slot.
>>107541300if you have plans of ever getting 90 class gpu 1000w >>107541316how niche are your problemsalso disregarding the oled fringe>>107541328phone level ppi would be good but you gotta make trade offs all the time>>107541451not gonna get good kits anyway so might aswell buy low binned 128gb at this point for the same price>>107541489monitor sales still goingthe rest of the shit idk
I just tried NVIDA Super Resolution with VLC, I'm so glad I have an RTX card. I had no idea the feature even existed.
>>107541650It's borderline mandatory to get Anime to look good on a 27 inch 1440p monitor. 1080p and 4k have it much better for media consumption due to easy 1:1/2:1/1:2 scaling, but 27 inch 1440p is just such a sweet spot for gaming it's hard to pass.
>>107541624Gotta do what you gotta do.
>>107541674just buy a crt
Is the arc b580 the most poorfaggatory friendly option? What would be the cheapest CPU you could possibly par with it without having CPU overhead issues?
>>107541674Yea I just downloaded an old TV series that only exists in 720p and looked like ass at 4k. Super Resolution fixed it up
>>107541541I would get a beQuiet Dark Power 14 because all my 3 PSU from them still work silently, they have great support for even their older PSUs, and the warranty is long enough to cover any issue. They are also relatively cheap here in Germoney ~€220 for the 1000W.
>>107541579As much as you can. The more you buy the more you safe.
>new build is so quiet now I can hear all the noise from outside
>>107539032You chose the wrongest time to shop for PC hardware. Don't you have other hobbies that could distract you while you waitfag for better times?
>>107539032>thanks to DDR5 retardation, DDR4 prices just doubledcome home white man
>>107540532> $500 plus tipI got the AsRock Nova for €247 early October 2024. And I didn't tip.
this is why i have trust issuesa guy on reddit saying the top qd-oled text is much clearer than the bottom oled text despite every single letter having terrible purple fringing when i see that i just don't get how anyone could not be bothered by it or even prefer it then another guy is saying there's barely any difference between the two
>>107541799bottom better
>>107541799that's not how monitors look like at all, what the fuck are you using to photograph them?
just got 2x8gb for $200, 4x8 total. feel like a total retard and I should just sell it off the second I get it, try to at least break even. Then just seethe in 16 gigs for a few years waiting to upgrade to 2x16 of shit that doesn't suck. 5600x already dies when I put my matched 4x8gb@3200, I don't have high hopes for 4 individual sticks of gutter RAM on am5. could also wait and see if the price keeps climbing to sell, but this shit is nuts already. could also just keep it and repress the memory of how much I paid and pretend to be happyim lost bros
I have an urge to populate all 7 of my expansion slots with something usefulUnused pcie slots are wasted pcie slots
>>107541894this is very sad, anon, i'm sorry you made that bad decision
>>107541894meanwhile on DDR3 I bet you can get 4 sticks of different sizes, manufactuers, and speeds, and they'll all run stable at 1600MT CL9 1.5V
How many years will I have to waitfag for realistically
>>107541739Alright, I heard they can blow up, I have a German friend as well who is helping me (though I am USA).He loves geizhals.deSee image, this is the list he linked he recommended because of multi-railThe 1000W review is what scares me... be Quiets seem to explode for some people.>>107541772Once I build my new PC Im redoing all my fans and CPU cooler for my old PC and wiping it for a dedicated Linux build to play on (i4770K)BTWIch liebe all meine deutschen Bros hier, es macht mich traurig, dass eure Regierung euch alle hasst.
