The OP should be changed to encourage noobs to buy second-hand DDR5 and not care about the timings, 100 extra bucks towards the GPU can help more than getting 6000CL30 or whatever.

>new build>New os>Copy old VMs>VMs don't work>Have to upgrade them>No longer licensed because hardware changes Fuck you Microsoft
>>107840217How can I check if a SSD is truly TLC or QLC without resorting to what marketing says? According to reddit there was a time when Crucial allegedly jewed out with silently going QLC on MX500 4TB?
>>107840217>-Check your 12VHPWR connector due to melting issuesConstantly checking your 12vhpwr cable ironically makes it much likelier to melt so don't do that
>>107840329You can check the databasehttps://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/They keep track of hardware changes.
If they did revive the 3060, would it be just pulling out existing cards in deep storage warehouses or spooling up those long-term 8nm machines to make more? Could it even be possible for them to try engineering in some new features like FP8 support on this old node just so that it can benefit from newer DLSS better?
recommend me the best GPU for $150 and why not RTX3050 6GB?
>>107840372There's minimal chance of them adding features since it would cost them additional money and manpower to debug the changesBut hey, it's Nvidia and they likely have a spare 50 million laying around to throw at such projects without blinking
>>107840374>why not RTX3050 6GBbecause even the 8gb version is slower than a 2060see if you can get a 2080 or something
Currently have a 2080super, 9070xt is ~€700 and 5070ti is ~€850 here in the Netherlands. Should i upgrade now? I'm fine for now with the 2080, but im unsure when the price hike will start and how long it will last..
>5090 arriving tomorrow>Wireview house fire alarm won't begin shipping until the end of the monthFuck you Jensen you dumb retard why haven't you moved on from this shit connector yet I shouldn't have to spend €130 just so I have some protection against my PC spontaneously combusting
>>107840459You can still justify (to yourself) that waitfagging is possible with the 2080 but the cutoff point will be the 60 series (4 generations). Even then you could go for a lower class of card like a 5070 and save some money, if you are "okay" with the 2080's current performance, which gives us an idea of your standards.
>>107840374cuz its slightly better and worse than some gtx 1660 supers

>>107840244The screen going black from static isn't surprising. I had this happen when I stood from my fabric desk chair, when I switched to a higher resolution and refresh rate screen. Changing the DP cable for a better one solved that problem.If it's a reocurring problem you could get a better, insulated cable, but you have nothing to fear, it's signal interference, not electricity damaging components.

I had to travel for 2-3 weeks at a time few times last year. Each time i unplugged pc from the wall, and when I came back pc would boot correctly but then after a few minutes bsod would hit. Chkdsk, sfc, and DISM showed no issues, no SMART warnings, memtest was fine.This time before i went on a trip i left pc plugged in, after 2 weeks i boot it up and no issues at all. Is this dead CMOS battery or something else?

>>107840809Some used parts will go up in price but not those, sell (but there's no rush).
>>107840828What exactly does an Nvidia card builder do? Arethey just buying a full pcb board and building stuff around it, or are they buying gpu chips and designing pcb, sourcing memory, etc?I've always wondered what they do since there's so many of them, figure it can't be that hard.
>>107840873They get the GPU cores (and used to get memory but not anymore), everything else they have to make themselves. They still have to follow some guidelines (which have been very strict the last couple of gens) but they're still free to, for example, overbuild the power delivery system.
>>107840843Notice how they don't talk about the CPU coresIt must be terrible
>>107840873They design and manufacture the PCB (you can check techpowerup for photos) and heatsink, source the memory chips.Premium brands might offer one extra video out, extra power connectors for overclocking and shit like RGB(T) lights and meme cooling solutions.
>>107840873They build cards and handle the distribution of goods to regions/retailers and handle customer service
>>107840781They're a "budget brand" because they sell so many cards they can afford to not be as jewish as everyone else off of sheer volume, but they're very solid. A hundred times better than the other budget brand in zotac at least

For the purpose of cooling DDR5, is it enough to have the top 120mm/140mm fan (directly over the RAM) set as intake or is it recommended to get a small 80mm fan specifically for immediate/direct airflow?
>>107841055just buy dram heatsinks

Is it good to buy peripherals now or waitfag?I need a new monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc
TL;DR: Monitors for workstation: 2x 24" monitors stacked using monitor arm vs 1x 32" (or bigger) monitor (or TV) in vertical mode?I have 3 monitors:- middle (main): 24" 144hz (Dell S2716DG, ~5y old)- left/right: 21,6" 60hz (~15y old)The right monitor decided to die and now I'm thinking whether to replace it with 2x e.g. 24" stacked monitors using monitor arm or just a single bigger (32" or more) monitor (or even TV) and using it vertically.I use the PC for working (programming) and gaming and I have shit tons of stuff on other monitors (background video/stream, idle game, discord/whatsapp, documentation etc) and 3 monitors don't feel enough anymore.The left one is also probably living its last years, but I guess I'll replace it with a single similar monitor only.Any recommendations on 2x stacking vs 1x vertical, on monitor arms, or some simple 60hz 1080p/1440p IPS 24" monitors?
>>107840843Now do from amd instead of the entry level one>>107841485What the fuck would you wait for Unless you're interesting in getting the latest $1000 1000Hz pro gaming monitor, there's nothing new on the horizon

>>107841537Yeah, probably should in a few years. The Dell S2716DG has been good enough for me.Also I still need the side monitors, the main issue is desktop space, not monitor quality.
Thoughts on a 12900k for $280?
>>107841573x3d from aliexpress is relatively cheap, the biggest problem is ddr5 prices for platform upgraders

>>107841573mehyou could get a brand new 14700K for that price a few months ago, 12900K is an <$200 CPUbut if you have to you have to
i need a 750-850 watts power supply, my budget is 60 bucks, my gpu is 2080ti and i got this case, modular if possible, please help
>>107841573For gaming? The 7800X3D is better and I've seen it as low as about $315. For other stuff? Yeah the 12900K might be best.
>>107841595Linux build for media hosting, RSS, running scientific programs for uni, ect. 12900k supports ddr4 and ddr5 both which is useful at this point since I have to find ram. I have a 9800x3d/5080 build for gaming but don't want that one running all the time.
>>107841634makes sense i guess. intel cpus are better at idling efficiently toothough i'd suggest you get the ram first before deciding on which cpu to get. if you can get ddr5, you have all sorts of cpu options available to you like the 245k, 265k or 9900x
>>1078413543.0 vs 4.0 doesn't really matter on a 3090 as long as you're using all 16 lanes
>>107841659I already boughted 5700X before they announced they will be bringing back the X3D on AM4 socket. Also, it's still unknown when they will be bringing back that CPU, so in worst case I'll just sell this Ryzen 5700X to someone.Just wonder if upgrading to Atmos Stealth 360 will be good option in case I want to move to AM5 in 3-5 years
>>107841463Just some games though? Better than all games.
>>107841602https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX750M-Modular-Supply-Bronze/dp/B093ND8LML
Should I just say fuck it and grab a 3090 until it breaks with this ongoing market instead of buying a new 5070? I fucking hate being a VRAMlet when I had 96GB of DDR4 long before AM5 existed owned a 16GB GPU in 2019 before selling it for $300 in anticipation of Ampere.
I'm getting parts to build my first PC and I'd really like to have a VGA on it the CPU I already bought has no integrated graphics so a VGA on the motherboard won't work I thought I'd get a display adaptor with VGA found some really cheap ones on ebay (one I'm looking at right now is the "ATI Rage XL 8MB") but those usually have PCI and I can't find any motherboards with the socket I need that have PCI slots. Wat do, /g/entlemen?
>>107841177fent us
>>1078402764060 Ti has more VRAM and better efficiency
>>107841795get some ptm7950 and thermal putty too if you're going with 3090the 3090 i bought had totally evaporated pastes and thermal pads were making the vram throttle under loadif you do it right, you should even have quite a lot of overclocking headroom which will let it perform close to a 3090ti/4070ti
You know what's retarded, used 4060 Ti's are still over $400 second hand where I live, double the price of my 3060 Ti second hand right now. There has been zero generational improvement for my tier since 2022 unless I spend $750 again.
>>107841799You don't need a VGA port directly on the computer, look for an active DP or HDMI to VGA adapter (but check reviews, some are pretty bad).
>>107841828Yeah, I'm aware of the pad issue. I hesitated on a refurbished and repadded Gainward 3090 the other month despite testing it in person and getting good temps at stock voltages (memory still got hot though). My only remaining option is a Strix model at $720-$750 which needs fan replacements, though I'll likely deshroud it if I buy it (assuming its as good condition as the last one which is not certain unless I test it).I remember some suggesting copper mods on the VRAM but I don't trust it.
>>107840461>so I have some protection against my PC spontaneously combustingthat alarm won't protect you from your pc spontaneously combusting. it will only notify you that your pc has spontaneously combusted
>>107840635>>107840664>>107840710Funny this was brought up. Mine are coming today.
>>107841833>zero generational improvementI know it's not groundbreaking but even ignoring the gayscaling "improvements" there's still almost a 30% difference between the 3060Ti and the 5060Ti.
>>107841892Forgot pic gdi
>>107841860dont copper mod. its only great for short term overclocking but not long term reliability since it stresses the solder balls and can crack it which will require the vram to be resoldered to work again.and i think its best you deshroud the strix. that's the one i have and its fans are very mediocre in noise / cooling.
>>107841542>the new improved oleds have been announced and will be rolling out in monthsWhat is this referring to?
>>107841863You think the connector just explodes as soon as one pin goes over 10 amps?
>>107841916CES announcements?first ones prob drop in q1 or q2
>>107841851>HDMI to VGA adapterI've used one of those before and didn't particularly care for them they're clunky and sometimes don't even work. I'd like a VGA directly on the computer for CRTs I'm not sure if that makes a difference but again in the past I struggled getting them work with just a VGA-HDMI thingamajig whereas they always worked fine with actual VGA ports. Are there maybe any PCI boards I can connect to a motherboard or something like that
>RAM price will never return normal in your lifetime
>>107841905Did you really pay $30 for 2 tiny pieces of plastic?
>>107841321>wait until amd releases refreshed am4 x3d cpusI want to believe that. A 5950X3D would be nice.
>>107841968$30 for 4 Yeah, and accessories
>>107841955if my computer or laptop ever breaks down before i'm done using it i will most likely cry
Saved up a chunk of change and waitfagging isn't going to do me much good anymore. About how much is a reasonable price for a 4090 so I dont get ripped off buying used? Last I checked it was like 2.5-3k but that was a while ago.
>>107841909>short term OCYeah no, I'm probably going to UV this card heavily to try and keep it alive for the next few years while this shitshow market blows over (or not).>that's the one i have and its fans are very mediocre in noise / cooling.Interesting, I was under the impression the 3090 Strix was the best one you could get for cooling unless that excludes fans and their noise. I recall the Gainward Phoenix not being terribly noisy, not too dissimilar from the three 120mm Zephyr fans I tied to my GPU at 30% fan speed.
>>107842089msi's 3090s are the quietest by far. the strix's cooler is actually pretty underbuilt IMO. it feels like its made for a 300W gpu but the 3090 strix OC is allowed to pull up to 390W by default.
Just as a heads up, it seems like gpu listings on amazon are finally starting to disappear. The one I bought just a week ago is now nowhere to be found and if I click on it it just gives me a 404. Most of the alternatives at around the same price are also gone.
>case repaired over 15 years ago>one of the jumpers got rewired>can't figure out the jumpers current configurationhow over is it?
I want to switch to Linux because im tired of getting my ass fisted by Microsoft but im worried by 990 pro/870 evos will perform like shit? Is there a fix?
>>107842097>strix's cooler is actually pretty underbuilt IMOThat's surprising to me because by mass I think it is second heaviest to the FE, and it also has that 450W power limit on top of a quieter BIOS profile.
>>107842097Fans run faster than on the MSI Gaming Trio models, and they have something different in the backplate too.
>>107842144Cases aren't expensive and you're replacing something 15yo, what's the problem?Why does your case even have a jumper plug anyway?
>>107842178I believe the gaming trio use normal cold plates instead of vapor chamber gimmick like the higher end models. In practice this means a 1-2 degree difference and NOT having your performance vary significantly depending on card orientation so I like it more. Glad I got the trio 5080.
why are they still doing this shitI installed the cables wrong first time around and my power led didnt worktheres like 2 different slots that say power led too, whats up with that
Have you tried DLSS4.5 on your RTX 50 series card yet? How do you feel about it?I noticed a minor quality upgrade over DLSS4, particularly in the Performance preset. But I'm not sure if the minor performance drop is worth it compared to just running DLSS4 at Quality or Balanced.This is about Oblivion Remastered at 1440p on a 5070.Please tell me about your usecases and impressions of the new model, I'm curious how it does in other games/resolutions/cards.
>>107842178yup 3090 gaming trio > 3090 strix in noise
>>107841931Anon told you to get a good one, not the shitty dongles you're used to. You won't find any gpu with VGA worth using.>>107841955It's a new normal, get used to it. You'll rent your ram from AWS and you'll like it.
>>107842235Why can't you read a manual anonAlso nobody uses any of that shit anymore apart from power switch and power led
>>107842362even with manual its the most confusing partwhy isnt it just 1 usb c cable that you plug in or something
>>107842184My problem is that it isn't even labeled like >>107842235 so kindly illustrates, it's just "red whire, blue wire" like a bomb in the movies
Lessons taught by pc building>If you are poor you will always suffer>If you are rich you will never suffermoral of the story, Just Don't Be Poor
>>107842462I disagree in recent years it's really just:>If you are you will suffer
>>107842462Prices randomly going 4x hurts way more if you're after highend parts
>>107842462pc building was always a poorfag hobbywhat are you doing spending time building instead of having it ordered and built by your dealer?
>>107842493>Is it worth?no
>>107842501if you are rich you can just eat the cost and move onannoying yes, but it barely mattersagain you can't suffer>>107842502maybe for the enjoyment"built buy a deal" bro stores offer builds for like 100€ extra not like it's a rich problem>>107842498you can't suffer if you are rich though
>>107842380because legacysome mobos come with a piece you can plug everything into beforehand instead of fiddling around on the board directly
>>107842594my gigabyte came with thatwas cute
>>107842602On that note just figured this out like half an hour ago, you have to enable this "disable front jack detection" option in the "realtek audio manager" in order for your front audio jack to work
>>107842235you should have boughted case that comes with combined cables for easy install
>>107842619>using front panel audioShiggydiggy
>>107842631why notmore accessible
>>107842639you should have an external dac amp with a physical volume control
How can people put up ith MFG X4?X2 FG is already very noticeable
>>107842540Everybody will suffer when the consumer base is an ever shrinking market of whales.IDK of any hobby thay actually got better because prices continually went up, just becomes a downward spiral. Pokémon TCG right now is damn near dead as an actual game at this point for people who enjoyed it as a game.
>>107842643Or you can not spend money on that and use the front panel.
>>107842643well i don'ti have a creative soundblaster play 3 usb dacwas using it on my laptop because the headphone jack port broke
>>107842502>pc building was always a poorfag hobbyA gaming PC is genuinely quite expensive, if you go for good components anyway. Even a mid-range PC is hundreds of dollars.And it's a hobby for the young, or at least we get into it when we're young so unless you have a trust fund or sugar daddy, it's probably hard to afford on a student's disposable income.>what are you doing spending time building instead of having it ordered and built by your dealer?I won't have that kind of income until I graduate and get a job.
>get an expensive PC>enjoy shit games at max settings>get a high quality oled emuchinkheld>enjoy the best vidya of all times in the best conditionswhat a conundrum
>>107841955I've already seen people saying $400 for 32GB RAM is ackshually not a bad price
>>107842719I assure you, it's not fear, but pity.
>>107842643I have my front panel audio connected to my sound card, noob.
>>107842687It's actually not that expensive when you consider that the difference between a gaming PC and an everyday one was just the inclusion of a dGPU.We just pretend today that a PC is wholly unnecessary and you must spend alot extra on everything even outside the GPU to make it a "gaming" PCThis ends up making a gayming PC $1000+ and is looked at solely as a discretionary purchase rather than a small cost addition to what was regarded as a necessary device in the household
I'm not ashamed to say itNoctua products give me a bonerTheres something great about their engineering that gives my autistic brain a nice handy by looking at their products, accessories and packaging Austrian perfection
>>107842689I literally just spent 1600$ on a PC and bout a 180Hz 2K monitor to play Starsector and Stalker
>looking at cases>see one with a one-star review>I got it because it had 3 fans. Didn't know they were molexs. Luckily I have a spare 3pin fanMotherfucker, what kind of a review is this? I wanted a review of the whole case, not one swappable part of the package.
>>1078428653 DC fans is insane I'd 1 star it too
>>107842810wat
>/r/arcitccooling is full with lf3 pump and vrm issues>people start to recomend the lf2 as its a proven design>residential pajeet still spamming the lf3
>>107842810Least strange noctua owner
>>107842895Noctua products are sexy>>107842917Glad to hear it>>107842898Buy something mid and wait for Noctua's first venture in AIO later this year with the top tier asekek pump (V6?)
>install new battery on macbook>first thing i did to test was head to bed and load pornin other news battery went from 100% to 27% after 2:27 hours
>>107842942>Noctua's first venture in AIOif you blow 250$ on an AIO you could build a superior custom loop out of cheap ebay parts for a bit less
>CPU coolers now going up in price tooFuck off, I should buy a Phantom Spirit for later even if my Hyper 212 cools my 3700X fine. Would have got it if I didn't skip on a 5700X3D last year.
>>107842302You can set custom resolutions on the nvidia app, performance is 50% while balance is 58%, maybe try something like 54% which should give you around the exact fps and image quality you had with dlss 4.0 while keeping the ghosting, particle, volumetrics improvements, dlss 4.5 is better used on 4k though, so maybe try using DLDSR to upscale your monitor resolution to 4k and see if you like the preset L ultra performance mode, then set custom resolution to 40%-42% if you dont have enough fps on performance M
>>107842808the difference nowadays is that almost nobody besides gamers use a desktop PC. Hell, there's a large number of people who don't even have laptops and do everything on their phones.
>>107843027interdasting. I would have assumed ancillary components like case/mobo/psu/coolers/etc would start decreasing in price because the shortage on ram/gpu will bottleneck anyone looking to build a PC, so there will be all these excess coolers and power supplies and such left on shelves to get discounted.
