<shameless report edition>question for all my /pcbg/ ARGB "expert" builders - i never used ARGB in a PC, and i want to use a couple of ARGB LED with my asus board and OpenRGB - by this I mean one, two, three, four, five, etc. LEDs, not a huge strip of them, I just want one each RGB that can change color depending on CPU/GPU/RAM/SSD temperatures so as to have a sort of idiot light display - is this actually even possible? which is the best DIY site to learn how to make my own?>inb4 noob, i never thought i'd want to use any of this glowie faggotry but now i'm curious
>>107663040stop being gay. openrgb prob has a plugin for it. now gtfo with your faggot lights.

Is it a good deal?New price seems to be about $1500I'm planning to buy and then sell the 9800XD for 9600X and the 4060 for 9060 XT 16GB
>>107663048>stop being gay. openrgb prob has a plugin for it. now gtfo with your faggot lights.this is truly an excretionary post, anon, and no amount of toilet paper will remove the last traces of it>i called for the "expert" builders and i got .. (you)
>>107663050Yes
>>107663048>plugin>faggotsounds about rightthis anon >>107663053 is a raging incel trying to hijack my very important technical question and i hope their next bowel movement is loose and unending
>>107663053ou are welcome and a marry christmas to the less fourtinate of your sociaty like the mentally disabled and people who struggle with their own gender and sexuallity.>>107663050would buy but i would keep the 7800x3d because it's an x3d
>>107662999look at all that dolphin porn
>>107663050Forgot to include a cooler master fan>>107663060How old are those parts? Most of them would still be pretty new and still in warranty right? >>107663077Wouldn't the 9060 XT bottleneck the X3D?
>>107663103You can't count on warranties with used parts.A gpu cannot bottleneck a gpu, the cpu tells the gpu what to do.
>>107663050That'd be a good deal even if prices weren't fucked right now. I'd flip the 4060 ti to offset the cost of something better with more vram.
>>107663103>Wouldn't the 9060 XT bottleneck the X3D?yeah prob all the time even. but almost any gpu would bottleneck the x3d the question is buy how much. i wouldn't toss away a cheap x3d cpu for anything else if you just want to gayme. like i don't see the problem with a gpu bottleneck. you won't have to upgrade the cpu in case you upgrade to a new gpu. you like want the maximum from your gpu don't you? a balanced system just means you have to upgrade both when you do a major upgrade like the gpu. buying a 7800x3d with a 4060ti 8gb was stupid but buying a 7800x3d system for 950 is not and upgrading it to a 16gb gpu.
>>107662999unused ram is wasted ram, i gues...
>>107663126well you can. if your gpu is below like 98% usage like in e sports games at low settings and low resolutions. your cpu is doing everything it (on like one, two or four cores that is) can but the gpu sits at 50%. but that is the nature of the games really. it would also be the case with a i3 2120 and a 5090 in any modern game. like full cpu usage and a gpu with nothing to do.
>>107662971the ssd i bought on black friday isnow 100 dollas more expensive
>>107663180so when are you selling it?
>>107663182i actually bought 2, but i need them so i'm not selling
>>107663103>>107663143i have a 9060xt with a ryzen 5 9600xis it a bad combo?i don't know much about these things
>>107663249That's a great pairing.
Do I have to take apart my PC to clean it? How are you supposed to use the air canister without blowing the dust further inside your PC?
>>107663249it's a perfectly fine combo since you prob bought it new. i just don't see a reason to downgrade a system just not to bottleneck something that is going to bottleneck any gpu really.
>>107663103>Wouldn't the 9060 XT bottleneck the X3D?no.>>107663143>yeah prob all the time even.No.>>107663249no
>>107663268contrarian
>>107663273>reading comprehension failureok
ok
>>107663288not much reading to be done when you just write "no".
Is the 4060 ti 8GB that bad? I'm also planning to upgrade mine. Looks like the 9060 XT 16 GB is a good upgrade? I have an intel cpu tho.
>>107663306correct answers to questions.yes.but contrarian somehow? no. so you or they, failed at reading
>>107663320There is not performance difference between 4060ti and 9060xt to justify the upgrade
>>107663320Looking at reviews the difference is 1 fps. Maybe your cpu is older than Alder Lake and holding you back?
>>107663323a bottleneck occurs when one component in a computer system (such as the cpu or gpu) can’t keep up with the others, limiting overall performance and preventing faster parts from reaching their full potential. i have a 7800 xt and a 7950x3d with its non‑x3d cores disabled (essentially turning it into a 7800x3d with a ~200 mhz boost). in cs2 at 1440p, i get around 500 fps with about 88% gpu usage at low settings. if you replaced my 7800 xt with a 9060 xt, which is roughly 20% slower, my cpu would not reach the maximum frame rate possible in this esports title. that would be a gpu bottleneck in a game many people play at similar settings. it’s not bad or unusual to have the gpu bottleneck the cpu — it's actually ideal in most games because it means you're getting the maximum performance out of your gpu. having a potential cpu bottleneck in cs2 at over 500 fps just shows that he is going to be gpu‑bottlenecked almost all the time. so i don’t see anything wrong with my original statement.>>107663320the 8gb of vram make it obsolete
Beginning of the year i bought some stuff, not knowing much about anything. I got a i7-14700k as it seemed to me it was pretty much amongst the fastest there was. I then got 192GB of DDR5 (4x 48GB 5200MHz, runs at 4800MHz with 4 and 5200MHz with two sockets) because i thought i can run large LLMs with it. My GPU was a 4090 that i sold as soon as the 5090 was available.The RAM isn't fast enough for large LLMs, i get 4 t/s or so. Smaller models run fast enough, particularly the ones i can run in the GPU are really fast.Is there any other CPU for the LGA1700 socket that maybe has 4 memory channels, so i can get more throughput? I feel i wasted a lot of money by not buying the right hardware.
>>107662998I just to make fun of waitfags. but they have proved to be the winners. I am scared to wait until I need it to buy ram
>>107662971>still two power cables in three GPU power connectorsthis gives me the ick
>>107663375No, consumer platforms with the exception of Alder Lake Atom and AMD AI MAX have 2 memory channels.
>>1076633209060xt 16gb is a sidegrade4060ti 8gb has good performance but is held back by its 8gb vram
>>107663409i keep hearing people saying stuff like this about the 9060xt i just bought one to upgrade my 6600please tell me i did good
>>107663385It's over then. I'm cooked.
>>107663431hell from something like a 6600 that's a decent uplift
>>107663126>>107663143>>107663268>>107663135>>107663268Thanks anons. One more thing, should I do some testing other than running a few games? Memtest, furmark or some shit like that?
>>107663495i would use prime95 on the cpu, furmark on the gpus and memory you probably won't have enough time to fully test but you can also run the prime95 mem test as well. with hwinfo for like monitoring of the temps and stuff.
>>107663050>shit motherboard>shit gpu>no ssdIt's still a good deal, sell the mobo and gpu and buy something better
is the AW2725Q as cheap at (You)r place as it is here? it's pretty discounted right nowdid they fix the random dying of it though? it went black and just doa'd or some shit, allegedly according to leddit post new batches have fixed it? idkmaybe worht a buytrying to get dell to give a discount code again they changed their verificaiton now they are not approving meits over
>>107663381Daisy chain for one of the connectors is fine
>>107663533>AW2725Q> Dell US$900> Microcenter US$800> Best Buy US$700
>>107663533https://geizhals.de/dell-alienware-27-4k-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw2725q-210-bqwv-a3474923.html
>>107663550>>107663546still seem to have various issues I guess idk seems bad
>>107663375>I feel i wasted a lot of money by not buying the right hardware.you earned money on the ram thou
>>107662971my new GPU has been put to sleep by boredom. i don't even play games. it's at a permanent 20C and wondering why it even exists
>>107663658F
>>107663641Only if i sell, and why should i sell if i want to run large LLMs?
>>107663716changing platforms should be cheap if there is anything elseif there is nothing else then you made money regardless
Im biting the bullet on another PC tomorrow, here are my old PC specs:OLD>Ryzen 5>Nvidia 3080 8GB>16GB RAMNEW>Ryzen 7>Nvidia 5080 or AMD 9070 XT>32GB RAMPurpose will be for playing Rust (game) at 4K, as i currently do, live in Australia, max budget is $4000 dollarydoosShould i go the 9070 XT or the 5080, i prefer AMD, my last GPU before the 3080 was a Radeon 7970.Also, anyone know how i can get a copy of the current version of Windows 10 (Enterprise) i dont want to run Windows 11, an AMD machine would be better for eventually moving to Linux, but i need Windows to play RustAnywhere to buy Windows 10 enterprise key and what version to run would be appreciated too
>>107663753>>Nvidia 3080 8GB>>107624420
>>107663753>Ryzen 5>Ryzen 7theres a monumental difference between a ryzen 5 1600 and ryzen 5 5600x3d anon. just like there's a difference between a ryzen 7 5800x and ryzen 7 9800x3d
>>107663753gotta buy 9800x3d for that cpu limited slop or something atleastjust run win 11 lol
>>107663760Thanks fren>>107663779I had a 5600x3d im pretty sure>>107663787Might have to
>>107663753Don't buy a 1000 dollar 5080 just to play rust holy shit. 9070 xt
>>107660163>should forget about the 5.25 drive bay.i know but i dont want to, i like optical media and I collect musicalso, again, that case is nearly $300 - i dont want to spend more than $100 i cant justify it
