>>107673118spend a little more and get you a decent GPU
I spent my day yesterday putting together my new build and even troubleshot the most obvious issues. Then I realized I could hear it. The thing is idling louder than my old PC sounded under load. I’ve messed with some of the curves despite never having done that before and got a tiny bit of improvement but it’s still a very apparent constant sound. The default curves started at 50%.I’ve got 3 Thermalright c212c’s daisychained, the fans that come on a Fractal North, and my cooler is a Peerless Assassin 120 Digital. How would I go about seeing my next course of action? Unplugging each set and seeing which one makes the most noise?
>>107673118slow games on the 1440p60 monitor and fast games on the 1080p100
I think I'm actually going insane.everytime I move my wired mouse I can hear a faint high pitched noise coming from my speakers.
>>107673141>Unplugging each set and seeing which one makes the most noise?yes do thati heard those thermalrights have rattling issues on some of them so hopefully its not that. if its just noisy, then you'd have to learn to live with it or drop some cash on another fan
>Redditor buys cheap Microcenter branded 1050w PSU because he only looked at recommended wattage>Wonders why it blows up his 600w GPU (playing Wuwa of course)
>>107673144Used to get this on my laptop.I just assume it's coil whine or something. I think it's normal.
>>107673159It was just so jarring I was expecting a similar noise level to my old pc and this is comparatively a plane taking off. The old pc had 2 beQuiet silent wings 2’s, a FUMA Scythe 2, and the single fan that comes on a Phanteks P350x.
>>107673141>ThermalrightAdded you to the list
>>107673198are you using an x3d cpu too? those have pretty drastic temperature spikes compared to old intel cpus and those spikes will greatly affect how quickly the fans ramp up and down
Currently I've got>B450 tomahawk m>32gb 3200cl16>r5 3600>5060TI 16gbThe ram and gpu are fairly recent, I got them on the cheap from a colleague that was upgrading. Considering that I've got an actually decent gpu now, I'm considering upgrading the cpu as well. The 5600 is currently going for about 120 euro here, the 5600x for 140, 5700x for 150, and 5800x for 175. What would you guys recommend I go up to? The 5600 and 5600x are pretty much the same if I've understood correctly, so not much point in paying 20 more for the X. Whereas the 5700x and the 5800x are also pretty close to eachother. So at first glance I'd think it was between the 5600 and 5700x.
>>107668681>because I hear the Radeon drivers are rock solid nowWe all need to make our own experiences. I will never buy an AMD graphics card again
>>107673214i hope a christmas miracle happen in your life and you find a real job, based schizo

>>107673133>>107673148Realistically it would get you 100 fps at bestAlso if you apply DLSS to 1080p you can possibly get 144hz>>107673140This is the stats of the best GPU I could get :(>>107673142I can only get one bro and play native. I don't know if I want to play some games reduced to 1080 while on a 1440 monitor.
>>107673243get the high refresh 1440p monitor and use upscaling where necessary to hit high framerates. 1440p is useful even outside of games so it'd be silly to get the 1080p just because your gpu can't run native 1440p above 60hz in games
>>107673238>pay 4k premium to play 1080p and 1440p>probably compromise on refresh rate????
>>107673214Fuuuuck…Guess I gotta spend a little bit on a new cooler and fans.>>107673216Yeah. 9800x3d. But even at idle the pc is pretty loud.
>>107673144You might be insane but should start using external DAC anyway.
>>107673222The six cores get saturated easily. The 8 core 5700X and 5800X are 100% identical, get the cheaper X. The non X 5700 is a scam cpu, make sure you don't get that one.
>>107673264>use 4k res every day outside of games on desktop which most likely is more usage than pure gaming>4k 240hz is the sweetspot(tm) currently
>>107673238>but 3.1 certified and 1050wDoesn't mean it's 'good'. You get 12V-2x6 instead of 12VHPWR, able to handle 100% power spikes better and higher efficieny I believe. Nothing about most of the internals as we saw with the cheap Chinesium cables.
>>107673141Lower the fan curve to minimal and acceptable noise under load. If temps are good then leave it alone. You may not need a million rpm to cool. Some setups can even do zero rpm at idle.
>>107673118If you can run 1080p, you can run 4K.So 4K 100+ FPS
>>107673266>But even at idle the pc is pretty loud.If you really can't lower the curve lower then dump those fans for something else
>>107673367That’s probably gonna be the move. I can at least return them, I think. I’ll buy new fans/cooler, make sure they work, then ship out the returns. I just have to make sure it’s also not the included case fans being loud as fuck, too.Like I said in a post before I had beQuiet fans and a FUMA Scythe 2 on the old build, but I built that almost 7 years ago and I’m not sure how the quality on those are these days. I don’t plan on running this PC like a rented mule but I do want to enjoy my 5080/9800X3D. Any recommendations?
>>107673395case fans are pretty tricky. i'm using lian li's for the aesthetics currently and have had a pretty shitty experience with them starting to rattle so i can only recommend avoiding them. i've also had a pretty good experience with scythe's fans, particularly their kaze flex for use as case intake fansfor high pressure applications like heatsinks and radiators, i'd say that noctua's a12x25 G2s are the current best but they aren't cheap. I'm not too sure about bequiet's fans as i've never used any of them

>>107673222Probably not worth upgrading to a 5600 from a 3600. Find a good deal on an X3D used

>>107673590Doublechecked my manual. Yeah, this is the problem. Oh well. 6500/7500 is good enough.

Undervolted 5070ti. Fps tiny bit higher but thermals are lower. Nice I guess?

I've not really seen that one being sold much here, so I hadn't even looked at it yet. >>107673576>>107673660>He won't, in current year.Yeah, getting a deal on a used X3D isn't really happening here it seems. The 5500x3d and 5600x3d practically don't exist, and the 5700x3d goes for 350 on a good day, 400 generally
>>107673768has like half the cache or smth. don't buy it. unless it's like really really cheap and for a non gaming system.
>AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Real, Coming this CESwhere are all the FAGGOTS that told me it was fake and was never going to happen and was too expensive to exist and was pointless and was retarded to even ask for WHERE ARE YOU COWARDS EXPLAIN YOURSELVES YOU FAGGOTS
>>107673814no refunds
>>107673789From a quick look it doesn't seem much cheaper here, if at all. So I guess that means between the 5600 and 5700x, the 5700x is the way to go since it's only 30 eurobucks more?
How did I do?Got tired of my lead acid battery UPSs needing new batteries every few years.
>reddit thinking asus is a wholesome chungus that will save pc gaming>they unironically think they're not going to just put out $700 ram to try to get a piece of the pie they're missing out onHow are they always this stupid
>>107673860yes
>>107674019>Implying it's not just astrotrufing via Reddit "memes"
>>107673938Considering how retarded the pricing is on lithium ion UPSs from respected manufacturers (Eaton/APC/Vertiv/etc) you did as good as you could.Still rediculous that lithium UPSs from "good" brands are $1000+.
>>107674019more supply will always lower pricesobviously it's not going to be sub 150 anymore but still
I miss how smooth single core CPUs were. Any multicore is inherently stuttery
>>107674062just play old games nigga
>>107674062This is pure delusionSingle core CPUs were the age of mechanical boot drives with tons of latency from your storage device, let alone the CPU.
>>107674076lies, old games were loaded from disk and the fit entirely in ram>>107674068still stuttery because the OS is multithreaded
>>107674062if you want better locking then go contribute to CPU development
>>107674084Then go buy ancient hardware for absurd prices to play outdated boring shit and leave the rest of us alone. I'm sure you'll find something to doom post about at that point anyway since you're just that kind of faggot.
>>107674099no im not going to accept that things should be bad
>>107674062get a better pc
>Cooler Master G600 GoldIs it a good deal?
>>107674122not possible. nobody sells new single core x86-64 cpus
>>107674062modern 25h2 is optimized for multicores. single core is not smooth.

>>107674019Retards fucking WORSHIP the Taiwanese PC cartel.Even here there are a few that adamantly assert that can do no wrong, and even when they do it's not their fault.>>107674054The supply is constrained at the fab level, before it ever reaches Asus' hands
>>1076731181440p 60
>>107674163consume oled. 330hz is really smooth.
>>107674084If the OS being multithreaded is the problem, then the issue isn't "multicore" CPUs it's scheduling latency.A single-core CPU running a modern multithreaded OS would be a slideshow because it has to context-switch 1,000x more often on a single pipeline. If you want that analog smoothness, you're actually looking for low DPC latency, not fewer cores.Have you ever actually run a LatencyMon test? It'll show you exactly which driver is 'stuttering' your OS, and it’s usually just a bad Wi-Fi driver, not the CPU architecture.
>>107674134you can buy a new i3 or smth. and just disable all cores but one.
11th gen intel is the last stutter free CPU generation
>>107674019Asus is one of those few companies which have insane amounts of undeserved fanboyism IMOThey make good extreme overclocking mbs and gpus but everything else they make are dumpster fires
>>107674265I was thinking of getting a 11900k for OCing fun but every launch review of that chip reminds of how crap it was compared to the 10900k that kills any motivation I had to buy one
>>107674062you can convert any modern cpu to a single core by flipping a single setting in bios, nobody's stopping you from doing that.
>>107674019>>107674275>>107674047>>107674054slowpoke.gif
>>1076742659800x3d proves this whole shit wrong. its literally the fastest consumer cpu for gaming. you are least likely to get stutter on a single ccd where all the cores share the same fat 100mb cache.
>>107674324reading between the lines, they didnt say they arent becoming a memory ODM like gskill or kingstonin the first place, expecting them to compete on equal footing against sk hynix, micron and samsung is preposterous
>>107672993>invest in a noctua air cooler>put a fatass anime girl statue at the front of the case to block the air intake???
>>107674374Don't forget leaving the protective film on. Retards and anime are like peanut butter and jelly.

>>107674019Anyone who believed this for a second is a moronFabs do not appear out of thin air in under a year from companies with no experience or IP
>>107673938Now you can buy new Lithium batteries every few years.
>>107674374cables don't matter for air flow. same goes for underage waifus.
>>107674481Lithium cells last 8-12 years no problem you might have only 60-80% battery life, but they'll still work.Lead acid cells will die within 5 years even if they're never used.
>>107674473its reddit. they like to act like experts about complex topics while having barely or no prerequisite fundamental knowledge about the subject at hand

How much does the make of a GPU matter ultimately? If I look at a particular GPU there's at least a dozen makers and versions of the same card model and there is price variance among them. Is there a right or wrong choice here?
>>107674374aww
>>107674551the wrong choice is the oem i didn't buy and the right choice is the oem i did buy from. enything else is for poorfags or cucksoomers.
>>107674551they all have different cooling. the noise does matter.
>>107674537Not to anywhere near the same level as lead acid.Lead acid batteries, even high end ones will last at MOST about 7-8 years, and only 2-3 years at the low end. Lithium cells last 8-15+ years.
>>107674551Is basically do you want to pay a premium for better cooling and less noise
>>107674551the wrong choice would be whichever one has unreliable or rattling fans, loud coil whine (yes they vary by model), some sort of design issue or cost too much compared to the rest
>>107674527>qdoledQD-OLED can have bad text quality and green/red lines on horizontal borders due to the odd pixel structure. LG just came out with an RGB tandem panel that is likely to be better for PC use.
>>107674124Or maybe a Cooler Master MWE GOLD V3 ATX 3.1?
>>107674551There can be differences like cooling or bin of chip. For most people buying a non-5090 graphics card, you can get one of the cheap(er) models and have no drawbacks
>>107674613>>107674610>>107674594>>107674590So what do I want to look for when part picking so I get one with good cooling and less noise?
>>107674551To answer your internal question directly, the core electronics of the GPU is sourced entirely from Nvidia. The AIBs don't touch that component at all, though everything else is their responsibility.
>>107674614>QD-OLED can have bad text qualitythat's why I said the 27" 4k ones, literally better than the older 32">green/red lines on horizontal borders due to the odd pixel structurewoled has different fringing>RGB tandem panel that is likely to be better for PC use.people already complaining about the uniformity and some going back to qdoled after testing the 540hz meme monitormaybe the TRUE RGB subpixel 4k one will be better, maybe it will have crazy nerfed brightness? colors?maybe 5k qdoled will be betterin short it depends
>>107674601I don't know. I have loads of lithium battery cells for RC cars etc. They have storage voltage that must be kept just like all Lithium batteries. It's about 60 percent charge for long life. I don't know how they manage the batteries without degrading them. It's the reason phone batteries bloat up. They are kept stored at a full charge and some uses don't draw them down enough during a day's use.
>>107674631theres no general rule. you'd want to look for user reviews of gpus you're considering. every brand makes good or bad cards depending on the product tier and product generation. E.g. asus' 4090 strix were godawful because of terrible coil whine while gigabyte's 4090 gaming oc was amazing for having minimal coil whine. another example would be msi's 5090 ventus being garbage because of its weak cooler while their 5090 suprim is the quietest air cooled card among all brands
>>107673814thing does not exist yet?serves you right
>>1076731181080p imo. I kinda regret getting a 4k monitor tbhfamalan. at least it is dual mode
>>107674527Nobody can run new games at 4k at 240fps so paying 100$ less for the 165hz is better. Woled is also better than qdoled. 5k is useless because no media will support it.
>>107674643I bought a G5 TV for a monitor and it gets blindingly bright compared to the C4-C5. It's really nice. It's the brightest on the market, by a bit. Monitor tech filters down from TVs so hopefully it pans out, and proves decent.
>>107674631noise normalized test results are ideal. because they put everyone on an even playing field. the 1 or 2% in clock speed boost i don't really care about usually.
>>107674688Not really, there are a lot of flaws with it as a methodology. The efficiency of a fan and cooling system isn't going to be tied to a certain noise threshold, especially not one as arbitrary as 40dBA. It also looks at cards in isolation and disregards passive cooling elements like backplates and elements of the card intended to be cooled via air circulation in a case rather than the GPU's own cooling. Real-world, nobody is gaming with their card hooked up to a fanless test bench and locked at 40dBA with a sound meter, so what it says directly is kinda meaningless and deriving values from it is just a review trying to convince you they know best. It's often just because they can't be bothered taking the time to more thoroughly test it.
>>107674656Anon, it's a UPS, it'll always be plugged in and it'll top the batteries off automatically as needed.I have zero concern about long term storage without power.
>>107674750I wonder how much of this is only being said because it's asrock on the top
>>107674770this. 40dba is great for any pc under my desk.
>>107674770Well, I like Asrock and really wanted a Tachi motherboard, but I was put off by the burnings. So, not really that. More just a hatred for tech reviews, I guess. It's your job to get given free PC hardware and make videos about it. Stop being a lazy piece of shit and actually test it in a realistic way. Stop whining about needing an "easy access test bench so it doesn't take me 2 days to test a card!!!", it's your fucking job to test products as people are going to use them.
>>107674767>it'll always be plugged inThat's what kills lithium batteries. Unless it stores them at 60 percent. Being fully charge degrades them. That what scared me off of a lithium UPS. They need to be used or stored at an appropriate level when not in use. I'd say its ok, but the same thing happens with laptop batteries that are constantly plugged in and batteries never used. Maybe they have a workaround somehow.
>>107674673you can run plenty in 4k240you don't need to render at 4k to get benefit from 240hz if running in 4k modewoled is literally worse, except now people are dicksucking the new (asus exlusive btw) coating5k wont be useless because the ppi increase which is goated res for 27" in all actuality, you finally have enough ppi to brute force away the bad subpixel layout, if 4k is not enough>>107674684based and tv pilledI could have buyedboughted the g5 55 WITH STAND for 1444€ on bf mind younow the sales were worse and also now they are completely removed and even worsebut I still think qdoled will be bettersamsung has no fucking sales going AAAAAAA
>>107674767You don't understand anonLithium batteries that are always charged up to the top of their limits will degrade well before 10 years.Lifespan of lithium batts are heavily dependent on how they are managed with charge and discharge limits.As an example, a hybrid battery meant to last 10 years is only allowed to use about 40% of it's nominal capacity. From about 40% charge to 80% charge. Both extreme discharging and charging degrades lithium significantly.This wouldn't be an issue if you could replace the battery but I doubt you'll ever able to replace the lithium battery if it ever does fail. In which case the reliability of the UPS itself is dependent on how the battery is treated.Lithium UPS's trade no battery replacements to a potential the whole UPS is junk

>>107674804Your phone uses Li-NMC (Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides) which you're correct, can degrade from being kept at 100% charge.Lithium battery UPSs use LiFePO4 (Lithium iron phosphate/LFP) Li-LFP, and while Li-LFP batteries ALSO prefer sitting at 50% charge, they don't degrade ANYWHERE near as quickly at 100% charge compared to Li-NMC.Also, Li-LFP loses 1-3% of charge per month, and they're generally designed so they charge to 100%, then let the batteries naturally discharge until it hits 90-95% over a few months, then it'll top it off again instead of constantly going between 99-100% every week or two.And finally, Li-LFP UPSs will generally be "smart" in that the cells it uses might be 100% full at 3.65V, but the battery management system reports 100% charge at 3.45V so it doesn't ACTUALLY charge the cells to 100% ever.

>>107674845See >>107674943You're applying phone battery logic to a battery system designed to combat exactly what you're talking about
have a chance to donate my 12400f to a family member. rolling on b660, 64gb of DDR4 & 4070 Ti. whats my best upgrade path?>alderlake e.g. 12900>raptorlake or raptorlake refresh? are 13/14th gen cpus still cracking? would they be too gimped by my ddr4?
>>107674798I would agree but it's neigh impossible to standardize on a case, fans, etc.Truthfully I feel like reviewers are just an arm of the marketing departments for these companies at the end of the day anyway. Even if the reviewers themselves are unwilling participants.Every review is just a measurement of how much they cared to meet the review criteria with bad products showing they don't care or are using a shitty model to steer you into the higher end ones. (you see this alot with Nvidia)
>>107674669>dual modeHow is it? Does your 1080 look better/worse than native? Isn't 4k a waste?
>>107672993isn't this bad for the figure? figures bend at the knee, and it's probably more likely to happen at higher temperatures. I'm seeing more and more people do this but it seems retarded
>>107674845NTA, but by the time the lithium cells need replacing (and remember this is a battery backup that only comes online during a power outage, not an electric car that gets driven almost daily), the rest of the UPS will likely need replacement too. I wouldn't recommend using the same lead acid battery powered UPS for 10+ years even with battery swaps every 3 years, the control electronics age and degrade too.Also it looks like that particular unit (goldenmate) while it doesn't have a hotswap user replaceable battery, the cells (packs) are standard consumer batteries and the internal wiring is all standard terminals, if you're confident with a screw driver and know basic electronics repair, you can likely replace the cells (packs) yourself, but at 10+ years old I'd probably just replace the whole thing anyway.
Did Scythe ever release the FUMA 3 Rev B? I can’t seem to find any info.
How do I know if cheapass mobo can take an i7? It's a $100 mobo (B460M D3H), I was told back when I bought it that it can handle an i5 tops. Think it was all about how my VRM is straight dogshit and can't handle but I don't know much about it. Is there any way to know why or how to see the limit? I mean, there are i7 that run at 65W just like my current i3 does. So how can I know?
dang soon 16gb kit will cost more than a ps5
