Thank you anons. I don't want the monitor to be too big so something like 27-32 would be ideal. I'm sitting close to the PC so a TV would be uncomfortable. Though maybe even 32 would be too big?

Well my keyboard died just now(corsair k95 rgb platinum), on the bright side I can get a similar replacement for way cheaper nowadays(corsair k70 rgb pro). But while im at it I wanna upgrade my gpu, ive been running a evga 1070ftw with my i7 7700k since I built this pc in 2017, and as I only really play league of legends there hasnt been too much issue getting along with this. But since this past year idk if riot upgraded something but my system has trouble having me play and watching yt videos on my second monitor. So I wanna know what gpu I can get to "modernize" my pc. Have around $250 budget for the gpu.

It's the safest way to support your GPU. The microvibrations on that fan will eventually loosen that screw holding your GPU.
But it's up to you. If you have the money to replace your GPU when it eventually breaks then keep using it.

Thank you anon. I'm actually highly considering pic related as it's within my budget, there's a small sale (-100$ off) and I got a gift card for 50$ from Samsung this month since it was my birthday. It's looking like the best deal out there right now.

I'm kind of on the fence about the Silver frame. Maybe it's distracting? Always had black monitors.

You need $500 to play at the gpu table these days

>>107659289
buy the one that's on sale at your local retailer

The gpu I bought dropped in price, it's now £25 less than what I bought it for

The ram I bought dropped in price, it's now only £325 more expensive than what I bought it for

Thoughts?
Still undecided between the Flux Pro and Meshify 3 XL as the latter is a lot longer but still barely leaves room for the psu but I hate the mesh at the bottom for some reason.

I think RAM prices will go up next year and then start going down ion 2027 unless something happens to fuck prices again. Nvidia announced that they will stop production of some of their cards and lower the production of others due to shortages and those will continue.

Just bought some RAM from an ebay user with 0 feedback. Seemed legit though since it wasnt a stock image. Any ways to tell if I got scammed once I get it? Only thing I can think of is to compare HWiNFO reports since I already have identical RAM installed.

The 1000W gold PSU I inherited is rated B- on the 9/17 PSU tier list. Should I be worried using it with my 9800X3D and 5080 or is it fine?

I already had this ram from when it was cheaper. Sounds retarded when I’m already paying the nvidia jews but the ram jews can get fucked. I can live with 32.

Well maybe they should try writing and reading every cell without the old sticks in the system

>>107659435
As long as it's not one of those things that blows up, then yeah. Those ratings are pretty arbitrary and they test PSUs on the extreme side of things. They never test for practical home usage. A B- is still a good PSU.

Alright. I'm going for this one. Thank you very much for help.

how long can a CPU last without a heatsink just booting up into BIOS and preforming basic functionality tests? if I want to swap out motherboards and CPUs to test a few things is it fine to leave the cooler off or will it fry the chips?

>>107659754
i wouldn't try it personally, I've always at least sat a block of aluminium/copper ontop of the CPU at a bare minimum as a basic heatsink even if there is minimal contact pressure.

>>107657962
This is why you buy a fucking external dock and just buy good quality drives and store them in their original cases in a plastic container.
Or learn how to NAS.
Or buy quality drives and put them in a quality enclosure with a fucking fan, and make sure they're horizontal unless you're using a dock temporarily.

They are attempting to push cloud gaming. So far it's only Nvidia pushing for it with their 'gforce now' cancer and artificial scarcity created by their AI faggotry. That said, since the heads of amd and nvidia are cousins, it wouldn't surprise me if AMD ends up following nvidia's fuckery.

I want to go for an AIO push/pull config since I have extra fans that came with the case and my temps kinda suck.
now I need those long screws you usually mount fans to the rad but they need to be slightly longer since I mount the fans through the case to the rad.(that's how you do it, right?)
what are those called?

>>107659992
push/pull doesn't really offer much benefit on an AIO. The exhaust fans won't really pull more air than what's already being pushed through. Instead, focus on getting as much air into the PC as you can, and have the AIO exhaust through the top of the case. Plus, the standard one exhaust fan at the back.

>>107660036
Is... is it May again? Are we in a time loop? Is that Sonny and Cher I'm hearing?

>>107659992
rad mounts to case with one set of screws, fans mount to rad with another set of screws and the AIO should come with all you need to accomplish install as long as your case already has a cutout of the radiator.

>>107660036

>>107660113
fwiw, the radiator design factors in heavily and that chart is not a one-size-fits-all. The delta T, i.e. change in temperature, increases with fin density far more than thickness of radiator.

I have 4x8GB installed in my PC.
Would it be bad practice to use 3x8 in my PC and use the other stick for a NAS I’m putting together?

>>107660125
