>>107752912You didn't go all-in on sucking off any one brand, which is better than normal.
>>107752937i >>107752912 am an unhinged but tech-neutral shitposter who just wants anons to get their /pcbg/ on.
>>107752978he cute

>>107752912dammit i did screw it up, didn't put a comment. my humblest apologies.
RAM is killNVMe are about to be killHDDs are climbing up at scary paceGPUs are days away from playing tag with RAMMerry Christmas and a Happy New yearoptimistic eta for the end of the shortage q2 2028
>He brought Wait you fuckers it's going to pop soon
>>107753027too lateshould have boughted before christmas
I panic boughted like a retard with too much money. I was going to save up and wait for the 6090, but we might not even see that card until 2029 (or longer if the AI bubble doesn't pop and NVIDIA abandons the consumer market)Well, there it is.
>>107753044and that's assuming AI datacenter demand doesn't continue to rise.
people really thought that we'd have competitive high capacity SSD pricing, lol
We need to wait a while longer. Trust.
>>107753057Probably could've saved $2-2.5k doing it yourself.But at least you've got a good computer for the next 5+ years.
>>107753046AI is not a bubble it is an extension of the USA and is directly funded by it's money printer. Just like MIC which can burn 2.4 trillion a year without anyone asking questions, AI companies can do the same. They won't pop before USA does.
>>107753061They're literally building these datacenters and just leaving them dark because they are waiting for more power stations to be builtThey're buying and building shit just because they can
>>107753055anon how much of that is the VAT or whatever you call it in kielbasaland?
>>107753065How much is that in a first world currency?
>>10775308523%
Rate my 9070 XT undervolt/tuning anons. Seems stable so far with everything I'm running. Wonder how much further I can push it.
>>107753057in 6 months you can sell that 5090, recoup the full cost of this rig and probably have 1k on top for burgers & fires.
>>107753074USA might never pop, and if they do they're gonna drag my country along with it
>>1077530892350 dollars
>>107753105That's like twice the price of an 8tb sn8100 on amazing
>>107753046they will not let it pop because its a government funded scam anon
>>107753091damn nigga thats insane, 461 borgarbucks for 1tb sata before VAT>we are boned
What should I do as an AM4 user with a mediocre octa-core chip right now?
>>107753065>>107753105How can a sata be this expensive wtf
>>107753095>how much further I can push ituntil it crashes, anon, then dial it back a notch. thats how it's done.
>>1077531302TB dramless SATA SSD with TLC was 155 dollars just a few weeks ago here
>>107753133accept that it is over
>>107753095Why would you bother? Surely you'd be better off just using that time to do a bit of overtime and get a 5080.
>>107753142Crucial OUTSamsung OUTDRAM UPSSD with DRAM go UP
>>107753157>5080loooooooooooool no
>>107753104Naturally. USA will be around for quite some time so don't expect any "bubble pops" this decade. AI is here to stay. The real issue will be time it takes the memory cartel to pull the finger out of its ass, stop hoarding trillions of USA cash and start building more fabs. Datacenters won't stock themselves and the current production is simply not up to the task.
>>107752937No, sucking off one brand is required for making these threads, so OP failed.
last realistic option for AM4 users at $250 new is now gone too lmaoAAAAAAAer ist vorbeithe 9th army is lost

>>107753172AM4 users lost the second you stopped being able to find the 5700x3d without spending hundreds for a used one
>>107753167AI also means the end of everyone who is not rich very soon because that shit needs so much fucking water, we're cooked anyways
>>107753186That happened precisely one year ago and I FUCKING HAD THE 5700X3D BOXED IN MY HAND BUT DIDN'T WALK OUT OF THE STORE WITH IT

This is how much I paid for my computer in 2015. How does today's equivalent compare?
>>107753251>rather be messing around with our computers but we can't
>>107753183I have 0 pol posts throughout my entire 4chan history, I mostly post on /a/ occasionally in /pcbg/. The cause of the current shitshow is USA treating AI as an arms race and thus allocating sufficient funds towards it support, how it happened is mostly irrelevant, what matters is results. AI "bubble" has effectively unlimited money thanks to the printer and won't go down, period. This means that 500+ datacenters per year for the next 5 years is happening. Current production capacity of the memory cartel - the only 3 companies on the planet earth who actually make memory wafers Samsung/Hynix/Micron will not be enough to fulfill that task on time. More so over the last 3 years they have been actively cutting down NAND production and closing multiple fabs, even though the datacenter buildup has started in 2019 and went int overdrive in 2023. This indicates clear collusion and the goal is to nickel and dime USA's wallet by increasing the price per wafer to the maximum possible level during the period of exponential increase in demand. It is working and they are getting away with it. We, the consumer became the collateral victims of this scheme. The only thing left is to wait it out until the cartel makes all the money in the world twice or somebody in the USA doesn't get their paycheck and gooks get into legal throuble.Sit tight, pray to chinks and if you can still buy shit at mostly reasonable price, do it now. It will get worse and it will stay worse for at least 2 years.
Due to the last anon's recommendation, I have one final question.Is the Meshify 3 XL and the Meshify 3 XL RGB Ambience Pro the same case but one just has the fancy lights?Also do both of these come with case fans installed?
>>107753271kek every developed country has jumped on the AI bandwagon. You need to read more /sources/.
>>107753273The one with the fancy lights has better performing fans not even kidding lol
>>107753289I see. Who bought out and paid upfront for every NAND wafer on the planet that will be made in 2026 and 40% of RAM? the "every developed country"?
>>107753273>Is the Meshify 3 XL and the Meshify 3 XL RGB Ambience Pro the same case but one just has the fancy lights?Same case, the Ambience Pro has the light strips and a fan controller bundled.>Also do both of these come with case fans installed?Yes.
Why did nvidia only give 16gbs of VRAM to the 5080 what the hell
>>107753318not one country, anon. one company has contracted for the majority of the supply, it just happens to be in the USA. the rest of the supply is being gobbled up by all the other AI players and device manufacturers worldwide, leaving us /consoomers/ screwed by the RAMmageddon. the faggotry of rampant capitalism is a global phenomena.
>>107753362Oy vey you only need 8gb of vram in this day and age, 16gb is overkill for you, only AI companies need more
>tfw didn't boughted the 3090 at 700 dollar
>>107753362phones do the same pricing thing with storage, bad bad almost passable overkill, it is simple, effective and sells more high end cards.
Bros, I need your advice. Should I buy the 9060xt or save a little more ($50) for the 5060ti? My biggest concern is that I'm planning to switch to Linux soon and I don't know how well the Nvidia card will perform
>>107753362Why did nvidia only give 49% of the shader count of the flagship to the 5080 what the hell
>High-end: 5070ti, 9070xtNeither of those cards are "high end" not with a 256 bit memory bus nvidia started gimping the memory bus after GTX 700 series and even amd doesn't class the 9070XT as high end it's listed as a mid range card
>>107753362>>107753431Because they're enough to beat whatever AMD throws at them.
>>107753433Those are both arguably high end with the performance they have
>>107753431Because that's all it took to own the entire AMD lineup.
>>107753416Fucking true, like iphones and samsung phones with only 256gb or even less sometimes I believe laptops also do the same shit What a fucking waste, this is sad
>>1077534309060XT, 5060ti whats the point of buying an entry level card that has been gimped so much seem pointless honestly
>>107753431why don't you just buy a 5090
>>107753430Just buy the 9060 XT.
>>107753445entry is more like the 5050
>>107753437>Those are both arguably high end with the performance they have>upscaling>frame Gen>Aiokay bro
>>107753433then buy a 4090 or a 5090
>>107753430If you wanna play anything with ray tracing then 5060ti, if you don't go for the 9060xt >>107753445Cuz we're broke
>>107753459Yes because of all the new games that are being released without >upscaling>frame Gen>Ai
>>107753430yet another copypasta shitpost deigned for the (you)s. we all know both will work with the following considerations: amd has open source drivers, nvidia drivers are closed source, and it you /gayme/ the weighting goes to amd because they give a shit about the 2% global market share that linux has
>>107753460>then buy a 4090 or a 5090>more overpriced fire starter slop Dude were you dropped on the head as a baby nobody is this retarded
>>107753459>>upscaling>>frame Gen>>ai
We warned you for a full fucking year. The ball is rolling, even the orange man warned you. This is a IQ filter taking place in real time. Soon you faggots are going to have to start turning out tricks and offering your lips and assholes just to get a entry level system.
>>107753470Oh, you're here to cryBuy a 7900XTX then
>>107753466>Yes because of all the new games that are being released without>upscaling>frame Gen>AiYou know you can make games without this shit and indie devs have AAA gaming is fucking dead dude why are you poking a dead horse
>>107753479Here that guys gaming is dead we can all go home
>>107753474
>>107753450I wanted a 5070 that didn't suck.
>>107753494Well you don't have that
In my hellhole the 3060 12gb costs the same as the 5060ti 16gb, prices never seem to go down for whatever reason
>>107753476>Oh, you're here to cryPure projection you sound upset dude have you tried touching grass
>>107753500seems you're the one crying about there mislabeled graphics cards in a 4chan OP
>>107753490>Here that guys gaming is dead we can all go homeAAA gaming has been dead since they killed native raster optimisation and added fake gay tracing and upscaling stfu retard
>>107753479New games released by "indie" devs ship with DLSS4 & FSR4 if they're hardware-demanding titles.
Just buy a 5080 right now. Don't cope about how you're going to wait, you've already waited too long as is. Don't cope about the bubble popping it's propped up by the United States as a whole now. Don't cope about waiting for the next gen, the next gen is years out and is being made for AI companies. Just get the 5080. Right now.
maybe I should buy a TV as a display, maybe
>>107753508>AAA gaming is dead because my card is shit at running RT & upscalingTold you to avoid buying an RDNA3 card.
Chink RAM when?
>>107753508oh native raster is dead first i'm hearing of that in /pcbg/ that always says it's the most important thing ever
>>107753507OP >>107752912 here.>mislabeled graphics cards in a 4chan OPwhere mislabel?
>spending thousands of dollars to play ue5 slopdont tell me you people actually do this
>>107753536you'll have to take it up with >>107753433
Do the mainline resident evil games count as AAA games? Those are still very good imo, but you need a certain kind of autism for horror, item management and limited resources to like themAnd they're also not hard to run thankfully, the re engine shits it's pant in open worlds games apparently tho
>>107753538We're not the ones who bought a 7900 XTX to lock it at 60Hz vsync or to run Speedometer all day.
>>107753547i use my 6600xt to play classics like halo, red dead redemption and warthunder

>>107753711youll go bankrupt buying ddr5 ram for the 7800x3d
>>1077537117800X3D is a better gaming chip; 100EUR isn't that much of a premium.Get the 14600K bundle if the savings help you buy a better video card.
>>107753711those are a totally different class of CPU 14600K's main selling point at this point is ddr4 is cheaper than ddr5 and put the money into gpu14600k's price is rising now too though
>>107753302>>107753329Is that really worth like 50 bucks in price difference?I kind of want to have the case work out of the box.
>>107753688He's a huge part of why global RAM prices and AI are out of control. The tech companies are now run by the money printers.
>>107753607most of the boomers i know either DGAF about whatever and just buy a prebuilt or worse some shitty Dell or HP or chinkshit minipc box or do exactly the opposite and way overspend on GPU and CPU just to look at porn when their GILF takes her afternoon nap.
>>107753720>>107753742I didnt even realize 14600k was ddr4, this actually means I wouldnt even have to buy any ram, just a new mobo to fit it
>>107753746The fan performance difference isn't worth $50. The ARGB + fan hub stuff is personal preference.I bought the regular Meshify 3 with a solid side panel, 100% happy with it.
>>107753623>not worthy of myold budget card that can't run the latest modern technology, we get it. you're making yourself look bad.
wait no the 14600k is for ddr5 ram so that literally doesnt matter
>>107753757Intel 12/12/13th gen CPUs can run on DDR4 or DDR5 platforms, but you'd want the DDR4 memory to have at least 3200 or 3600 MT/s speed.I would buy a Z690 or a Z790 board to have access to all of the CPU tuning options.
>>107753767modern technology is a downgrade from old technology
>>107753761Thank you Anon, will get the solid side panel XL regular version then.
>>107753775Unfortunately mine are 2666 shitters, so I guess im fucked either way
>>107753785The RGB Momentum fans generate more airflow only if you use nylon dust filters.Fractal and most other PC case manufacturers stopped including these nylon filters after Gamers Nexus bitched about dust filters worsening case airflow.
>>107753795I would still buy 14600K if you need to save some money; the cost of better DDR4 or DDR5 memory kits won't justify the performance gains.
>>107753605Guess that bussy is gonna get tore up when it's time to upgrade
>>107753815Im in a bit of a shit positionOn one hand, the games I want to play recommend something like a 7800x3D, which im obviously currently under, and this would require me to effectively make an entirely new pc, save for the gpu I guessAnd while I can probably still make it work, with whats going on right now, I might not have another chance, my cpu is atleast 5 years old now and if it croaks in a year im gigafucked, its not showing signs yet but knowing my luck itll die just as everything becomes either unaffordable or straight up unavailable
>>107753828Buckbrokenbros......
>>107753831have you considered not playing ue5 slop?
>>107753831post current CPU so anons can tell you if there is any hope for a reasonable upgrade
>>107753805But my 5 degree increase in hot spot! Who gives a fuck, less dust is nice. I had two case fans die and I didn't notice any temp increase for six months.
>>107753805>removing dust filters because retards whinedfucking influencers ruining it for everyone
>>107753831People "recommend" shit all the time, doesn't mean you'll necessarily have a bad experience or it won't play at all.As far as the normie population is concerned a 14600k even with slow ram might as well be a super computer. It's not a bad position.
>>107753851Ryzen 9 5900XIt was part of an upgrade kit I panic bought when my system died a day before a big release I was gonna play with my friends
>>107753677Oh that's different here, boomers with money will throw all of it at their hobbies like it's nothing.
>>1077538725900x is still a really good cpu. also cpus dont die unless you overclock it to an absurd degree
>>107753872No point switching to a 14600K if you have a 5900X, especially for gaming.14600K isn't much better to justify the expense.
>>107753878I dont think I ever OCd it, it had been heating up a little more than comfortable a while back but I have since repasted it and I think its fine nowI guess ill see when the game actually releases
>>107753853based reply. when i built my current rig i went for /silentmax/ with 0rpm idle mode GPU, AIO, and one.single.case.fan with dialed-in curves, fuck that muh low idle temps, shit is all still well within spec>inb4 hurrr even sustained low heat causes damage GTFO with that stupidity
>>107753795You could probably OC it
>>107753893Check the chart in >>107753231A 5900X runs slightly better than a 5600X in gaming, because very few games utilize both 6-core CCDs on that CPU.
>>107753912I guess it should be fine?I mostly play at 60fps anyway, though I did fall for the widescreen memeMaybe I should get a new monitor and just sell this thing
>>107753574she installed windows. Fucking disgusting
the 6600xt can play any game worth playing
>>107753973True, that's equivalent to the 3060, which is the most used card in steam
Tech illiterate here. I'm getting a 5070 ti and I'm having trouble getting around the whole connector thing. So the standard now is the 12V-2x6 if I understand correctly, so I should get a 3.1 PSU to avoid melting but in some cases it seems that it would be safer to buy something like https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920284/600w-pcie-5-0-12v-2x6-type-4-psu-power-cable-cp-8920284 instead. I don't know if that would be the case for me since I'm not playing at 4k and I'm pairing it with a 5800X and a 750 W PSU.
>>107753973so, anon-kun, i mentioned some relationship stuff to you last time, i mean, so.. ummm... like... what are we?>>107753715>one of my favorite things is the lone post tagging no one but now we see the variation on the theme, the plaintive bleat of the amd shillposter, anything to get some some part of the brand out there, a one-liner just to flood the vapid minds of the unwashed masses.IDGAF what anons buy, except maybe i'll kek if you buy an Arc but whateva.
>>107754030the only use case for a 5070ti is to play ue5 slopwhy are you playing ue5 slop?
>>107754030I mean the 5070 Ti doesn't pull too much power for the cable to melt. You're fine don't think too much about it. Just fully seat it and don't bend it. In any case, nothing will happen.
>>107754030That 2x 8-pin to 12V-2x6 connector isn't a silver bullet, according to this user >>107750889Make sure the cable has enough straight clearance (30mm minimum) before you bend it sideways on the PSU side.You shouldn't have to worry to much since you're getting a 5070 Ti, not a 5090.The article in my image is written by Corsair's PSU research director.
>>107754055E33 and Arc Raiders are some of the best games ever made
My new gpu was supposed to arrive today. It just got delayed until the 30th. Amazing, cool.
>>107754055because it's fun and it looks great.>so no answer on the relationship thing?
>>107754093what gpu did you get anon. From where? What country? Tell us more
>>107754087e33 is a boring movie game and arc raiders has no point in playing because any gear you find is not any better then the free loadout
>>107754103Coping and seething
>>107754103>boring movie gameThat's like, your opinion man.>arc raiders has no point in playing because any gear you find is not any better then the free loadoutI don't play the game but if this is true, yeah that's a weak game mechanic. I did play during the free weekend and I had a blast. So idk why you are seething.
>>107754030The 5070ti only draws like 350W max and there will most likely be an adapter cable in the box which will have 3x8pin connectors, no need to buy a new PSU.
>>107754175>5070 Ti 350W maxCan't this thing be undervolted so it draws only like 250W?
>>107754186You can power limit to whatever you want with the correct tool. You will lose performance tho. Idk about 250 W, silicon lottery, blah blah
>>107753641Update: I have my eye on the CORSAIR 6500X MID TOWER DUAL CHAMBER. I have a Corsair Carbide so this feels like a logical upgrade from that. Any thoughts? I am pretty confident about it.
>>107754186of course it can be undervolted, I'm saying the maximum isn't a problem for the new shit connector, it gets bad north of 500W
>>107754186Unless you're trying to push like 4K@100fps it's hardly going to try to ever pull more than 250W at stock in anything else
Why is there still 12VHPWR autism? Just get a good PSU and don't worry about it.
>>107754099The ASUS 9070XT, I just ordered it off Amazon, I don't know where it's shipping from.
>>107753095what aib
Can you guys tell me how to pick a good monitor? I'm mostly going to be playing at 1440p so I checked out the KTC and ASUS monitors in the OP but they seem a bit expensive. I mean I can afford the KTC but I'm just wondering if it's that much better than similar monitors from different brands at lower prices.
>>107754261>wonderingit is. also there are a million online reviews you could use to learn about monitors so you can make up you own mind, after all only a fool takes advice from the /pcbg/ OP without fact-checking it.
>>107754261If you have a 1080p 120+ Hz monitor just keep that. You don't need more than 1080p. If you don't have a monitor yet, just buy whatever cheap 1440p monitor you find. VA or IPS doesn't matter nothing matters.
>>107754281>just buy whatever cheapcheap monitors always suck tho amirite?
>>107754327yes but so do all monitors. That's why it doesn't matter
>>107754246Asrock. It's just an Asrock "Challenger" model, but it seems to be running well so far even though I didn't opt for a higher end model.
PC Gaming is dead because Sam Altman and Jensen Huang want to relive their The Epstein Experience™ with AI to themselves :(
>>107754500nigga you can be sure they get their freak on somehow that isn't fapping on /gif/, i surely won't believe they don't.
I hard fomoed and spent fucking 2k3 on a 5090 I hope it was worth it because damn it's the first time I ever spend that much on a gpu
>540Hzwhy? what could possibly be a usecase?
>>107753362To incentivize you to go for the 5090, same as they did for the 4080 and 4090, that much is obvious
>>107754540How much money is left on your all your bank accounts combined? If it's more than 10k ur fine
>>107754554smoother boobjiggla effect, just don't buy one if you don't care
>>107754554my 6600xt can get that much fps in warthunder
>>107754563Yeah more, but it's like spending 300 on a pizza, shit stings like hell
>>107753362i think half of it was probably to intentionally leave room for the super series with the 3gb vram modules to come along and provide an almost effortless refresh but things happened and here we are
>>107754554the 540hz is a TN panel for esport
>>107754563>keeping 10k in a "bank account"just no
>>107754068>>107754175That's reassuring. I was aware of mostly being the high end cards that had this issue but better be safe than sorry.>>107754073That was really informative both the article and the other anon's post. Thank you. So it seems there is just not perfect answer. I think I'll do what the article in your pic suggested and protect at least the PSU in the very unlikely case something melts.
>>107754637NTA but I have a high-yield savings account (just under 5%). It's an online-only bank though which can be a bit annoying, but I just do wire transfers to my local bank where I do my primary banking to move funds when I need it.I usually have ~$40-60k liquid at all times, but 90%+ of that is in the high-yield account unless it's needed. Local bank does CDs, 401k, IRA, checking, credit cards. Online bank for high-yield savingsFidelity account for stocks

what's up with the 990 Pro and Linux? I bought a 990 Pro to get in front of the price increases last month and I'm just seeing this now, but I can't find much online about it, just that you can't (easily) update the software on linux.
Some feedback on this build?I don't have a clue about if these parts would actually work together or not.
>>107754763The controller is only optimized for Windows and shits itself if used for anything else like Linux, Mac, Consoles. Various SSD controllers have niche bugs like P41 platinum from SK Hynix having the SLC cache bug that rapes write speeds until you Secure Erase it.
>>107754801well fuck. i was planning on switching to Linux with this build too. do you have a link that explains it?
>>107754763someone noticed that this review shows that samsung drives suck dick under linux: https://www.phoronix.com/review/wd-black-sn8100-linux/3the article itself doesn't mention a cause and the comments for the article don't indicate any actual reason for thisthe original samsung 980 review indicates the same relatively poor performance for that drive https://www.phoronix.com/review/samsung-980-linux/3 and that appears to have carried over to the 990
I'm thinking of adding a superdisk drive to my sleeper PC...... should I?
>>107754768>rm1000
>>107754768>ddr4-2133 cl15>4x4gbGet a single 16gb stick at least so you can upgrade by just adding another stick (or more) instead of populating all 4 slots.
>>107754814It's all on Level1Techs and Server Forums. You can also run your own tests like copying games. Many people aren't even aware of SSD issues because the dropoff is still faster than a SATA SSD.
>>107754829Didn't even occur to me that they were 4x4gb sticks the price point was the important part, is this build overall slightly worse than a steam machine, just curious?>>107754826What do you recommend as a power supply instead in that price range?
>>10775481999.999% of people use windowz.Samsung knows this.They optimize their physical hardware for windows.Use the F2FS on Linux when using Samsung hardware, they developed it.Sorry for Redditspacing, I love hogging screen real estate.
>>107754768That power supply is definitely overspecced for a 5500 and 9060xt build. So unless you plan to upgrade the pc in the future a 650 watter should be enough.Also don't get a 45 dollar CPU cooler for a Ryzen 5 5500. Use the stock cooler for it. Or on ebay you can get a brand new tray version of Ryzen 5 5600. Then get a cheap CPU cooler like the Artic Alpine 23 (slightly better than the stock cooler) and you'd have a good CPU upgrade.
>>107754829>Get a single 16gb stick>>107754850Do not get a single stick, do 2x8GB or 2x16GB.Never do single stick, you lose half of your memory bandwidth.
>>107754768That's a pretty expensive build for what you're getting>1000 watt power supplyextreme overkill wattage for that build>CPU cooleryou can get a better CPU cooler for a better price>RAMSlow speed in quad channel, I'd recommend doing 2x8 GB modules or even a single 16 GB stick that you can maybe upgrade laterHere's a build that is not only cheaper, but imo, much betterhttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/2RbmVF
>>107753362nigga they gave 16GB to 4060 Ti and 12GB to 4070 Ti. fuck those thieving (((motherfuckers))).

>>107754954>returns his 3rd chinksium motherboard this month because it saved his 20 bucks
>>107754936Rosewill VMG PSUs are made by Andyson for Newegg and are good, I use them in many buildsGeIL CL16 3000MHz kits are sourced from Samsung dies
>>107754768My improvements for this build:>CPUDrop the CPU cooler and the Ryzen 5 5500. And instead buy a brand new Ryzen 5 5600 on ebay for $120 (it's a tray cooler so no CPU cooler included) then buy Arctic Alpine 23 B stock on ebay from Arctic's official store for $7.80. This is a big CPU upgrade for less than 3 dollars more.>RamInstead of getting a 4x4gb kit of 2133mhz ram. You can on amazon buy GeiL Evo Spear 16gb kit that's 2x8gb kit which leaves you upgrade room to 32gb in the future. AND it's 3000mhz so it's much faster as well.>SSDFor $135 you can get a WD SN7100 which is a much better NVME driver over that QLC Samsung SATA drive>PSU1000W PSU for a 5500 and 9060xt build is overkill. Only buy the 1000W PSU if you know that in future you will upgrade to like a 5080 or 5090 class GPU. Get either an MSI MAG 650GLS for $80 or a Rosewill VMG 750W for $76.>CaseNot best value case. But if it's the cheapest case you think looks cool get it. But you can save like 40 bucks by going for a cheaper but similar looking case.
>>107754936>RosewillIt's a Newegg house brand just like Powerspec is Micro Center's house brand. And just like most PSU brands not named Seasonic, FSP or Super Flower they don't make their PSU's. Just like Corsair doesn't make their PSU's but rather source from like 6 different PSU OEM's. The Rosewill VMG PSU's are actually rated quite well on the PSU tier list.>AdataSince when did Adata become an "non proper brand". They are one of the most well known SSD makers out there.>GEILYour Corsair's and G.Skill's don't make the memory chips. Only Samsung, Micron or SK.Hynix does. And those GEIL sticks use one of those brands.
>>107754768Don't listen to the fags. 1000w has overhead but who cares for $150. It will last you 10 years. You buy for your needs 10 years from now. There's a nice Seasonic on Woot for $150 as well.
>>107754954I find it most annoying people who don't recognize PSU brands. Like I still remember when people shat on the Walmart PC for having a Great Wall PSU. Even though a lot of those people probably had a Corsair CX series PSU that was also made.... Great Wall.Honestly most shocking is how even big Youtubers like Linus (who has a fucking PSU review channel) don't recognize brands like High Power.......
>>107755006What games would that improved rig not be able to play at high? Just trying to see if it is worth more to wait for the steam machine.
>>107755065Steam machine is going to be great. Not because the hardware will be the best ever, but because the OS is going to be finely tuned exactly for that specific hardware. From what I have seen of the Steam Deck, it has only improved, just look at how far Linux game compatibility as a whole has advanced in only the past year.
>>107755065i dont think that rig plays any modern games at high
>>107755065Steam Machine's GPU for example is worse than an RX 7600. That 9060xt is 36% faster than an RX 7600. So probably around 50% faster than the Steam Machine's GPU.
>>107755065the 16gb of ram will kill you trying to play video games while having a web browser open, everything else is fine
>>107755065What resolution is your monitor? 1080p? If so, every single game at good frame rates.
>>107755098I was purely asking from a hardware perspective. I know that Valve opens up Linux for most people but being competitive in the pc market is about knowing and fine-tuning your specs for specialized use-cases. If it can't compete with a pre-built or self built pc why would I invest into a mini pc that runs containered arch Linux when I can just install arch on my pc that is also extendable in the future. It would make more sense if Valve would adopt a Framework kind of approach to their hardware.

>>107755065Borderlands 4. But even RTX 5090 gets 45 fps at max settings on that game so it's because that game is unoptimized trash.
>>107755154how long do you typically like to wait to see if something is decent? minimal complaints over like 2 weeks? maybe a month? maybe waaayy mooore?
Is there any chance that Intel will launch Bartlett Lake soon? Or are the rumours fake? I have a 3090 but only a 12400f and the reason why I haven't upgraded is because I have been waitfagging for Bartlett Lake for over a year. It already caused me to miss out upgrading my slow JDEC speed DDR5.
>>107753057TF is 2TB SATA SSD good for? Where do you install the OS? Makes no sense.
>virtual memory load 99,7 % when gamingshould i be concerned? everything else look in order

>>107755210I mean it's not really embedded isn't it. And the right now we they have launched the Core 7 251E. And they recently rebranded basically the 12400 as the Core 5 120 for regular LGA 1700. So that gives me hope that we will get Bartlett Lake seperately as well.
>>107755220Not if you're going to use it normally and responsibly, and use a good PSU/cable. If it acts fucky, you can see if they can exchange it for you within 30d (though idk how swaps work with potentially low inventory), and they'll have years of warranty down the line regardless.
>>107755220I mean unless you had the option to have protection beyond the 3 years your GPU already has warranty for. And the protection for like say 5 years isn't a completely ridicilous price.If you are really worried you can just call Micro Center and see if they can add the protection plan afterwards. I'm sure they will likely be able to do that.
>>107755220depends, would it offer better conditions than Nvidia's warranty regarding house fires?
>>107755220how much is the plan?

How do my GPU (9070 XT) temps seem and wattage seem? Hotspot delta okay? I left HWInfo on for around an hour while I played Hogwarts Legacy (cranked, native 2160p, no RT). I started the testing during load-in, and restarted the game a few times as I tested various settings. So, the minimums aren't accurate since they didn't capture idle. FPS/etc shouldn't matter either for the same reason; I'm just looking at my thermal and watt/voltage here.>>107755363No, I added it to my post, but it didn't upload for some reason. I renamed it, so hopefully it sticks this time.
>>107755237>is low ppi woled fine for textabsolutely not and do not believe any lies you are told online buy and see your yourself and return it if it's sucksYou cannot trust anyone They are all coping with their choices you will find people today saying QD-OLED has perfectly fine text readability and no fringing or that it's not noticeable at all, completely delusional beings. We'll see what CES has to offer with the 5K2K monitors
>>107755371Delta is alright, anything 25° or below is fine and 20° is great, would start worrying at >30°. Memory's a bit hot but I guess that's normal if it's hynix.
>>107755371Memory is bit too hot. Other than that not really too bad. But the memory isn't that hot yet that you would be afraid of it dying or it thermal throttling your PC. I guess you can always ramp up your fans or something.What model 9070xt if I may ask?
>>107755224> He install the OS Probably to the 4tb Samsung 9100 proWhat a waste! The OS can't make any use of the speed, it reads many small files on startup and then writes/reads only few small files during uptime. There will be no noticeable difference to a OS on a PCIe 4.0 drive. A PCIe 5.0 drive should be used for large file operations like working with media data. The OS should be installed on a much smaller dedicated drive or partition of it's own.
>>107755371don't worry AMD told everyone 95C is not hot
>>107755257Rather the new normal.
>>107755436Hynix memory just runs that hot, Samsung would be sitting somewhere between average and hotspot.

>>107754768If you want a GPU that's probably 30% slower, you could get the framework AI max 385 32gb mainboard for $800.https://frame.work/products/framework-desktop-mainboard-amd-ryzen-ai-max-300-series?v=FRAFMK0002But no fsr 4, soldered ram, 1 year warranty, hard to add a GPU to it (but it's still worth putting in a 5090 if you want 4k, but the pcie 4x slot needs some sort of adapter).You also need the psu, ssd, case, and 120mm fan.I would get a cheaper PSU, and a better NVME, smaller case (matx, itx if it's cheap and fits an ATX psu?, the framework desktop case is +$300).I would find a $30~ 650watt PSU from like facebook marketplace (check the PSU with cybenetics, and maybe a review that tears down the internals).And sometimes noctua a12 / bequiet pure wings tend to sell for like $5.Might as well also get a PC case as well on facebook (but you are probably going to be missing screws or the USB hub will be 2.0 which is OLD, but you could probably buy a usb 3 hub that fits into the CD slot in aliexpress if you ask /csg/).
>>107755484Not sure, I meant on the RX 9000 series specifically. They completely randomly come with either Samsung or Hynix, I don't think Micron even produces GDDR anymore.
>>107755488why not
My second monitor is blackscreening when I'm watching a YouTube video in fullscreen with modded Minecraft on the main monitor, GPU running at 100% usage with no OC. Anyone have any solutions?
>>107755549dont have gpu running at 100% while trying to use it for other things
>>107755501>6-7
>>107755549fps cap minecraft
>>107755501based i had a seagate barracude in my last 4 pcs and not a single one failed me to this day
>>107755488it does matter but there's a thing called diminishing returns. subtimings matter more, trfc+trefi affect latency a crap ton.
>>107755506>or not worth nitpicking in your opinion?Those look like normal settings for a 9070xt, though the increase in max frequency offset could cause issues in certain games (BF6 for example tends to cause a DX error if the GPU boosts above roughly 3200mhz)>So it's rated to endure sitting at this kind of tempIt's rated for 105° if I recall correctly. But lowering the memory clock a little could be worth it imo, if that positively affects the temperature.>I couldn't find anything on their product page about thisGPUZ will tell you what kind of memory the card has, the manufacturers just use whatever they can get and won't tell you.
>>107755549If you have iGP, make sure it's enabled in BIOS and connect your second monitor to that
>>107755488>>107755547>>107755597hey we've seen this one before, the thread gets old and the bot farm/paid shill/schizo spams the thread to bump up the post count using little snippets of text that almost (but not quite) fit in.>shitpostanon-kun you have been ignoring me all day. i thought we had a thing going, it's making me sad. are you upset with me?
>>107755597kys zoomer
>>107755674you are the schizo fren
>>107755683well, i >>107752978 think you may be right, anon, thanks for the diagnosis.
>>107755319like 250 bucks
>>107755717If you're already shilling out thousands for the 5090 why wouldn't you insure it for another 250

>>107755664Thanks I'm going to try this
>>107755717a horrible deal. good thing you passed on that scam.
taking into account prices, this mini pc doesn't look so bad. 8060s performance is ~4060
>>107753186>>107753198if you are still at am4 see if you can convince a spic to toss you a ~$200 5500x3d. it is quite decent on a budget build. Will suck on workstation stuff
