>>107942773That's a beautiful PC. I'd buy it if I could afford it.
>>107942736https://www.ibuypower.com/store/rdy-x50-r01about $150 plus whatever shipping is over your budget, but you get a 5070ti with a 7800x3d, 32gb of ram and 2tb of storage, not a bad deal
>>107942808https://www.overclockers.co.uk/techforge-sakura-amd-ryzen-9800x3d-radeon-9070-xt-modded-gaming-pc-sys-tcf-00087.htmlIt's an overclocker's build.You're paying about an extra 600 quid for the paintwork. But, it is nice. The lack of 5090/5080 option does feel kinda bad though. If you're spending that much you'd want something with a bit more to it than a 9070XT.Not that there's anything wrong with a 9070XT but, I wouldn't put it in a PC costing nearly 3K.

>>107941281my autism is a little bothered by that clearly being an am3 stock fan but the cpu is intel
>>107942773https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qwGbspI didnt need to upgrade the GPU in 2016 for the games I played but I was hoping Overwatch would captivate me. Instead I'm here still playing 20 year old games and I'm not even using the RX 480.The watt calculator is way off. The system + monitors pulls 90-140 watts between idle and gaming. With the GPU installed it would be higher but still < 350 watts.Always hate these things because they dont have my optical drive or hard drives on file.
I love my 5090 and OLED.
>>107944378Why not step up to an 9060xt and 750w PSU? Would that make it too many shekels?
>>10794442699.9% of my gaming for the last 15 years has been:Quake Live (tarted up quake3)Quake Champions (gave it up in 2019 or so)Starcraft BroodwarMinecraftBanishedIf I had a game that demanded it or friends to influence me and say hey come play X with us I might. I've never spent more than like $250 on a GPU. For a long time the sweet spot was that or below. Not over the last 8 years or so with the crypto/ai boom but before then at least thats how things were.
>>107944426Again my gaming systems have never topped even 400watts power draw while gaming. I have 4-5 hdd's installed at all times that arent in the list.I dont know what I even could be using my PC for that would ask for more wattage.
>>107944453Maybe you'll find a new /gayme/ or something, you will have the system for some time.
>>107944405At this point the lag is me not my computer
>>107944479I've seen my CPU pull over 350w.
>>107942773>>107942808ever since the fizzle pop bang meme ive taken all watercooling out of my pc and its only a 5070ti. fuck knows how anxious id be if it was a 5090. not like arctic are going to buy me a gpu if their liquid frzr 2 fails.
>>107944544>anxiousChickenshit. Real /pcbg/ anons fear no cooling solutions.
I have a 4060 Ti 8GBIs upgrading to a 9060 XT 16 GB or a 5060 Ti 16 GB make sense? How much of an upgrade will it be?
>>107944751im not rich enough to just buy another gpu so yea, unless arctic say they will replace the gpu if their cooler leaks i wont be using liquid again. even though i saw they extended their warranty and send out kits to replace degrading gaskets
>>107944861about 10 to 30% but i recently saw a video where a man bought his son a new pc with the same upgrade path and he was shat on for not getting a better pc for his son.
>>107942773>P14 Proyou were right, these are loud as fuck
>>107942773no motherboard recs on op, kind of confused because a lot of these look identical?model number's different, one costs $20 more... and has the exact same specs type thing.kind of just baffled on what to grab
>>107944967i got the asus prime b850m A wifi. works well enough it seems.
>>107944967There's too many motherboards bro.
>>107944997ikr, i'm honestly just looking at the msi mag x870 and thinking about just grabbing that. the price difference doesn't change all that much between and i'd rather have something that leaves me with lots of options and room to grow
>>107944967sometimes those 'identical' boards are because the power delivery is cheap on one of themfind a roundup somewhere online. make sure you get a board that isn't from asrock that's in the better half of the vrm temp measurements and has the features you want. that's it.
>>107945018which is to say there are already b850 boards out there that can't run a benchmark for an hour with a 9950x without failing https://youtu.be/CFqd7lnXlIk?t=1585>but i'm only getting a 9800x3d like everyone elseam5 is expected to last another generation or even 2 and we already know they're increasing core counts, the board you buy has to be able to handle that 16+ core x3d2 that suddenly isn't bleeding edge top-end but the new best buy
>>107945018didn't even know i was supposed to be looking for that! looks like the one i was already considering in >>107945015 ranks just fine, so probably grabbing case + that soon
>>107942773Is Asus Prime B850M-A (namely -CSM version) shit and why
>>107945072nah, my 7800x3d sits around 5ghz whilst gaming. 5070ti boosts to 3000mhz with a small oc. thought it would be on this list>>107945042
https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada/comments/1qk6dlt/psa_canada_computers_online_card_skimmer_canada/serves these fuckers straight for shilling CC deals. CC "deals" are never in-stock
>>107945092I genuinely want this this on the news headlines. I called in to get a replacement card a few hours ago.
>>107945072then again it is on this list and the vrm was over 100c but thats a faster more tdp chip than mine.
>>107944861State your use case, retard. Is one less expensive for you than the other, if so by how much? Are you interested in high-quality simulations of boob jiggling physics? DLSS is all the rage right now. Using what OS? What CPU? etc..
>>107944861If you only do gaming get a 5070, if you need the 16gb for workloads or AI get the 5060 ti 16. 5060 ti 16gb is 30% faster than your card, while a 5070 would be around 60% faster. You can see how both cards perform here and then decide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRxNgWNk2Wo
>>107945092lol. reading the 2nd link deep comments, that's just hilarious. someone's nephew was hired for webdev on that Canadian website. that's why I only shop the big names and use PayPal on all smaller sites
>>107945108I didn't see any ASUS Prime in the list
What are ya building?
>>107945164>PrimeRun away
the recent cuckers of the cucksoomer out of reasonably priced ram and flash storage is a secret plot to bolster oem and system integrator sales to keep them afloat, but nobody wants to admit the deeper layer where the supply chains are being “accidentally” disrupted every fiscal quarter like clockwork. due to the mass literacy of normalfag building and upgrading far cheaper and better pcs it was eating into the profit of the oems and other system integrators, and the suits started sweating because the spreadsheet priests told them the margins were collapsing. it also encourages the mass adoption of the recent nsa-backed release of windows 11 so they are complicit and maybe even working together, pretending it’s all coincidence while the telemetry pipelines glow red-hot. they are all actually secretly working together with the nand storage mafia, who definitely aren’t real but somehow keep showing up in every supply shortage like clockwork. by buying a prebuild you are supporting the very thing that brought us here, feeding the ouroboros of planned obsolescence while they laugh in firmware. prebuilds kill.
>>107945173The usual 9800x3d and 5070ti combo you've been hearing around these parts. Just need to decide on a case, heatsink, and psu.Might get a new keyboard as well. Don't need a new mouse but if I run with a different brand, using logitech right now, I might get a new mouse too.
>>107942797Pull saar on deez nuts
>>107945175Honestly believable.
>>107945174>Primeonly reliable choice when it comes to motherboards that get actually used by oems and system integrators. republic of gaymers scum has lost again.
>>107943473see >>107942820you really just have to shop around, stick to amazon, ibuypower, skytech, etc etc
>>107945182you may ask why all this effort? just for money? i would say yes but money alone isn’t enough because control is the real endgame. through those sales from the oems and system integrators they can not only spread the botnet virus called windows 11 but also force ai cpus, ai motherboards, ai ethernet controllers, ai gpus and even ai case fans down our throats. paying for hardware nobody asked for just because we have no other choice just so they can yank us over the table with high prices while eroding whatever scraps of choice we had left. they would also use those new and complicated backdoor technologay to surveil us even better and more efficiently, because nothing says “progress” like turning your pc into a glowing telemetry shrine. it also artificially bolsters the adoption of new and useless tech that isn’t needed, letting them cut support for old and still perfectly working hardware because “everyone else has the new features” even if nobody is actually using them. with those actions they’re screwing both groups: the people who build and the people who buy prebuilds. the whole ecosystem gets dragged along for the ride while they sit in a boardroom chanting the sacred mantra of quarterly growth. we have to fucking nuke japan.
>>107945164didn't let it scroll down far enough right there at the bottom
>>107945217Higher is better, right?
>>107945226yeah and the orange and red colors mean it's fast
>>107945132kek the pricing from 7 months ago makes me want to cry. Latest driver releases from team red and team green obsolete these numbers and image quality observations though.
>>107945184Prime is worse in every aspect to budget boards from gigabyte, MSI and asrock
>>107945175Welcome to the capitalist world that provides us with our /pcbg/.>also you may need to get your levels checked.>just sayin'.
why would someone blame amd for only making 8 core cpus? blame intel for not countering with higher core cpus at better prices that people actually want to buy, this would force amd to create more core cpus at cheaper prices. that's how the market works after all.
All I'd have to do is work 2 weeks at a grocery store and I could build my dream PC but even that is too much for a lazy neet fuck like myself
>>107945215>we have to fucking nuke japan.That already happened and we got tentacle porn and NEC computers out of the deal. No thank you. I do agree on the "muh AI" thing, it's like the sales teams went way over the two drink minimum.
>>107945247>how the market works after allNo, no, >>107945175 has it right.
>>107942820case is ugly as hell but not a bad deal compared to the individual componentsspeaking of cases, the ones in the OP are kind of meh? xt pro's front panel sucks + supposedly the hardware's weird, 903's mentioned to be kind of flimsy and the fans are mid, lancool is mATX, flux pro is lame, meshify looks like some kind of art piece and is PRICY, 4000D frame doesn't come with fans but is the least offensive of the lotX50 makes me want to barf. Abomination.all in all the candidates are not impressive. anons what are you cramming your $3k of parts in in 206
>>107945254Bullshit. No way you can earn enough in 2 weeks working at a grocery store.
>>107945217Well I already know Prime B850 is not for top end stuff, I'm only using Ryzen 7
>>107945272you are just a dirty communist then. if you are not enjoying and praising the free market as it screws over the consumer, when it's supposed to improve prices, drive innovation, and improve society because of those things.
>>107945247if anything blame microsoft. the os by design favors 8 threads which happens to be 4 cores with hyperthreading or 8 cores without.
smelly, dumb, lying frogposter scum
>>107945300i love playing the blame game on behalf of multi million dollar corporations.>>107945305not an argument againt my schizo takes. cope and seethe.
>https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/issues/8091Shader Model 6.9 finally has a release date 02/19/2026 - Target Release DateMain features it brings is SER and OMM which mainly boost raytracing and pahtracing loads for nvidia cards there is a good chance they'll be avaliable on resident evil requiem which launches on the 29th,
i don't need one but denying a data center a gen5 nvme is worth it
So what's the consensus? Should I buy now if I know I'm going to need a new PC in the next year? There's no way the prices of anything actually goes down from this point right?
>>107945314we cant take advantage of cool shit on our cpus precisely because of microsoft. the os assumes you're running on a x86v2 cpu when linux can already do x86v4 which speeds up various stuff namely browsers.
>>107945341AI bubble bursts any time now. The more you wait the more you save.
>>107945341buy prebuilts asap theres still deals to be had. parts market is cooked unless you're buying used.
>>107945342who is we? i don't care. my browser works just fine as is. there is nothing stopping microsoft from implementing those features for browsers that want to use those features. just because freetards insist on creating multiple packages and distros doesn't mean microsoft can't solve this problem as well if there is a need for it.
>>107945276a fractal design define S i bought more than a decade ago. i took the front door off at some point because back then it was common to block off the front fans with solid plastic and just leave inadequate little slits for the airidk it's just a box that holds my shit. i had to search my order history to even remember the exact model. i have it turned around with the back facing towards me for access to the back i/o so whatever old usb it has routed to the front doesn't matter either
>>107945361Microsoft would have to completely break backwards compatibility to do so and thats not their plan as they want their OS to run on shit as old as bank ATMs.
Good new everyone! Prices are guaranteed to go down now that I fomo'd and bought a 5070 ti. Enjoy your 5090s at $500.
>>107945370>break backwards compatibility to do so and thats not their plan as they want their OS to run on shit as old asThis schizoid rant smells of pure, unadulterated Truth.

>>107945426crucial is discontinuing as a brand so no RMA stock
>>107945445ssds too? I thought it was just ram.
>>107945437kek.
>>107945453Micron shuttered the Crucial brand as a whole. Crucial no longer exists.
>>107945473Oh, so that's why they're cheap I guess. But if there's no support...
What real-world situations can I use to compare two CPUs? I know that benchmarks can allow fine tuned control, but I just want some ideas on a battery of programs with tasks I can run to compare real-world performance of two whole computers.
>730€ in november
>>107945482>But if there's no support...They'll still honor warranties/RMAs/etc as long as their current supply lasts, but no new Crucial products will be made.
>>107945499Hm. What happens if it overheats because my motherboard heatsink isn't good enough? Does it throttle or die early?
>>107945482They'll replace your crucial products with micron equivalentsIt's over
>>107945505I've had a phison+micron nand gen4 SSD die early because of overheating. It ran at 70-90C for about 20 months before kicking the bucket

>>107945515>ran at 70-90C for about 20 months before kicking the bucketYou retarded monster. Why u do that?
>>107945515Scary, getting a gen 5 one seems risky then.My current gen 4 one seems to have run at crit temp for 7 mins total it says.
>>107945516Doesn't shader compilation happen on the GPU?
>>107945515Read this as 20 minutes, and thought >>107945523 was overreacting until I re-read it.
>>107945489Just use PassMark, it's pretty reliable (unless you run dozens of benchmarks with the free version all in one day, then the nice folks at PassMark have coded it so that it fuxors some of the tests on purpose, they want you to buy it). But for a couple tests it's pretty consistent.
>>107945532no
>>107945532The GPU driver provides the compiler and that work is done your CPU
>>107945541That's unfortunately a lot of variation, then, right? Wouldn't the GPU driver have special optimizations between editions that change the performance there nontransparently?
to that anon was asking about prebuilts, if you’re near a microcenter they have a pre-built powerspec pc that’s exactly $2000https://www.microcenter.com/product/698879/powerspec-g758-gaming-pcAMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (4.7GHz) ProcessorMSI Pro B850-VC WiFi Motherboard32GB DDR5-6000 RAMNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Graphics Card2TB NVMe SSD5GbE LAN, WiFi 7 (802.11be), Bluetooth 5.3Windows 11 HomeDon’t think you’ll find anything better if you’re aiming for a 5070 ti
>>107945549Those low level shader optimizations with drivers stopped happening after DX12/Vulkan came out. The game developers are in charge of optimizing GPU memory, GPU commands, pipeline state object management,etc. For example you could call an official VK extension to make it easier without needing to contact AMD or Nvidia.
what if unreal 5 shader compilation was invented to move more x3d cpusotherwise they have like no impact on game performance at 1440-4k res gaming over cpus that cost half as much
Thinking about rotating my monitors and moving my current 1440p 27" miniled main to secondary duty, are there any new 4k 27" VA minileds coming out this year? 4k 27" tandem oleds shown at ces should be releasing this summer right?
>vendor asked for an extension on my ssd order. yea this shit ain’t comin innit. at the very least i hope they honor the abominably low price (comparatively speaking) they listed it at. also holy hell online’s full of fake ssd listings now. is stock really that low?
>>107945579why not go 1440p oledget high hz gaming and you maintain same res as the secondary
>>107945585>vendor asked for an extension on my ssd order.Welcome to the club. $1000 5080 and $320 4TB gen 5 SSD both "Delayed" and then canceled without warning a week later.
How's the 9060xt? I don't really need the 9070xt, nor do I want to pay the price. The 9060xt is somewhat cheaper and it sounds like it's not too bad. I assume it's suppose to compete with the 5060(ti)?
>>107945592I would really like more room for activities when I have my old mmos windowed and multitasking. If I was going to stay at 1440p then I would probably just grab a Q27G4ZMN.
>>107945608TT3TT
>>107945585>>107945608I feel like this is happening to the external hdd I got just for cold storage I bought. Then again it's apparently already been shipped. Just the usual carrier shenanigans.
>>107945608I had 3 ssd orders cancelled in a row before finally actually getting one to ship. Also had some second hand ram cancelled only to be relisted with a +$50 premium by an enterprising capitalist. Meanwhile my electricity bill is up almost 50%. How long will it take for normies to realize how bad things are?
>>107945619>I assume it's suppose to compete with the 5060(ti)?9060xt is actually worse than the base 5060, if you have to, just get the 16gb version of the 5060 ti
>>107945619it's a good card, this general is full of schizos brand warring now, I have the 9070 xt tho
>>107942820How do they sell prebuults for ~$1000 less than you'd buy the parts for
>>107945569good deali also like the idea of some college bro ending up with a glowing pink build because how could he afford not to
>>107945632I'm going to Linux, so NoVideo is out of the question.>>107945647I would consider that but the cheapest option now seems to be $300 more. I'm not sure it's worth that to me. I don't tend to play new AAA games either. The most intensive game I care to play would be Cyberpunk 2077 and I assume it will play that fine.
>>107945628Both the 4TB SSD and another SSD I ordered actually shipped, and even made it to the local warehouse before getting hit with the "Delayed" status. Can't trust any of these retailers.
>>107945679>novideo out of a question 2010 called, they want their memes back
>>107945648Probably in part bulk pricing they get from making multiples of these, and probably hoping to sell you warranties and support.
>>107945619>suppose to compete with theDLSS 4.5 might sway your decision if that is important to you *and* the two cards are close in price.
GIRUGAMESH
>>107945679>I'm going to Linux, so NoVideo is out of the question.Shillpost pattern detected. Either brand works with *nix.
>>107945687perf on linux with nvidia sucks ass. you basically bay more for an nvidia gpu to get the performance from one tier below.
>>107945687Okay sorry now it's someVideo with halfPerformance because they only give a half ass attempt with Linux.>>107945700>worksThere's working and working well. I've already been researching this, don't try to fuck with me you fucking nigger.
>>107945702Not the case anymore.
I didn't come here your faggot ass meme wars, I came here to ask for personal experience. Go back to /v/ like the children you are if you're going to spout gay nigger shit.
>>107945711>professional experience >uses hard r word and g wordNot very professional...
>>107945710so that was a lie
>>107945575Really? I thought I had seen some people talking about how games after nvidia driver updates (which happen often) run faster
>>107945648volume but also contracts and on-hand stock of components means prebuilts are slower to react to pricing trends than the individual components that go into them. saw the same thing during covid and crypto etc where prebuilts are temporarily sold for less than the sum of their parts
>>107945716>last year benchmark

I IDC about /gayming/ but the latest stuff I've seen about it tells that team green has mucho improved things for the 50xx line as far as image quality goes and that the red team has mucho improved their drivers. It stands to reason that the /troons/ who do benchmarking are busy this week.

>>107945718>>107945692Yeah I remember hearing similar during Covid about it being better to buy prebuilts. I assumed it was always other parts they cheaped out on, but these would still be selling at a loss if the was the only reason. Are deals for more top end prebuilts as enticing or are 9800x3d/5700ti prebuilts sort of the be best bang for your buck. I haven't upgraded anything but my gpu since 2011.
>>107945799You cant even buy a nvidia card anymore, yet you are still shitting the thread with your paranoid conspiracy theories, if you are so happy with your card why cant you let other people enjoy theirs

>>107945799>>107945814at least the amd schizo posts some benchmarks to support some of his claimes from time to time.
>>107945835>from time to timehave you seen the catalogue, he spams the same pictures, sometimes he even post benchmarks form 2021. The only differencei s now he is finally stop trying to convince people his card is not garbage so now he focus on obsessing over certain cards, he shitposted about the 5080 FOR WEEKS, then it was the 5070, and now its the 5060 ti turn, the only card i have never seen shitpost about its the 5070 because he is confident that his 9070 XT is the better purchase because of the vram
this is the latest 9060 xt 16gb benchmark video from a decent channel on youtube, for the guy who's thinking about buying ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtLieh5yst8
NTA but I'm sorry, how can you even begin to justify buying AMD when DLSS support is ubiquitous in games and works on hardware dating back to 2018?Not using fake resolution is no longer an option if you want to play the latest and greatest AAA slop running on UE5, so don't give me that.Fake frames are also not as bad as you'd think as long as your base framerate is 75+, ideally 100+.
>>107945843>then it was the 5070,then it was the 5070 ti*, also forgot to mention but now that he think DLSS schizo is back he also shitpost about the 4070
>>107945845Thanks.

>>107945723>They do fix them a bit more quickly than [literally the one other competitor]
>>107945952actually to reply to myself here, the one thing i have fucked myself with is multiple(!) instances of getting just adequately sized PSUs and having to upgrade them down the road. efficiency gains iso performance are well and good but when you upgrade usually it's going to be to a higher tier of components than what you've got
So I applied paste put on my cooler, but then had to take it off to fix something under the heat sink, will I have ruined anything by taking it back off and back on without repasting or should I be ok?
lmao waitfags. this is exaxtly why i fomoed into buying a 5070ti. microcenter increased my model by $200.
>>107945962>the oneArc drivers are not quickly fixed either, at least not historically. Not that it matters as their presence in the market is pretty small.
>>107945972should be fine, hell I reused the paste leftover on the cpu I bought from another guy and it worked fine the past 2 years.
>>107945997Thanks I was hoping just didn't know if it would create uneven surfaces or something, need to go sleep so can't test tonight.
>>107945969was aiming for an 850w PSU, seemed like it'd be enough?as for the mobo, could spend that $100 on a 9800x3d instead of a 7800x3d then, but i'm wary since people talk like it has thermal concerns + asrock only being talked about frying 9800s not 7800s. the perf difference at a glance doesn't seem huge...
>>107946010get the 9850x3d to avoid the mental damage
850W or 1000W PSU?
>>107946023I swear some of the 1000W PSUs I've seen are just like $20-30 more than the 850W so I might just go with one of those.

Thoughts on using one of these 38mm fans as a case fan?
>>107946044bad idea
>>107946046why tho
>>107946036Really just depends on how smart/update to date the seller is. I'm pretty sure a lot of people these days will just google what they have to see how much they can sell it for. So you might even have people who are going to try asking for higher prices now.One would hope the person selling would just sell it for less than what they paid for, but you're definitely going to have people who see new market value. You might even get scalpers who buy up cheap used components to turn around and try to resell them for the new asking price.
The Intel b50 actually seems cool... How bad are these cards now?
>>107946046Nigga you are being trolled.
>>107946036I just checked Facebook marketplace around my area. There's already a guy trying to sell a 5070Ti for over $1000. Apparently people can react to it because there's several laughing emojis reactions.
>>107946022not a bad idea >>107945931>>107945952same case with an MSI b650 then for $140, wait a moment for 9850x3d to come out then that? last two pieces will be mem and storage then, which are going to be for sure the most painful parts>>107946060it's tempting to keep instead of return on the one i panic bought. but then i'd have two of them and no buyers, profit would be garbage anyways
>>107946010maybe but desu 1000w feels more like a reasonable top end for most people for now and the pricing is similar. but it's really that <850w range you want to avoid even if it's adequate for your current build. even for a midrange system you probably want a psu capable of supporting a high end system kind of thing.and i actually like the 7800x3d a lot at $100 less than the 9800x3d. it's incredibly power efficient and if i were making an sffpc build or on a budget i'd think it a perfectly reasonable choice. the other guy is right though, if you're going to get a 9800x3d get the 9850x3d if you can
>>107946051Nigga I literally have 2 9cm delta fans strapped to my gpu and they work infinitely better than the stock fans, that's why I'm even asking this.Even the popular T30 is only 30mm.
>>107946065eh, whatever i spend now is money i won't be agonizing over spending later. none of the parts i'm buying right now are going to come down any time soon, so either i can shaft myself now and feel bad about it later or eat the 20% extra cost for performance. if it was just 7800 v. 9800 i might be more flexible on it but 9850 numbers look worth it.
>>107946076You posted a pic of a 120mm fan and asked about a 38mm fan, trollposter.

>>107946117Dang. What did you end up buying?
>>107946117Yeah I'm sticking with air cooling. Half the time I see benchmarks it's after OCing the CPU anyway.
do people really use facebook marketplace? whats stopping someone from just selling you something broken>used with prices higher than msrp
>>107945288At least In europe you can. Of course if you dont have to spend money on peasant shit like rent
>>107946119B650 = Pcie 4.0B650E = 5.0B850 = 5.0If you have no desire for an X870 then at least try to get an easily available B850. This as opposed to scrounging around for a 650E.
>>107946155half the fun is in sniffing out the grain from the chaff to begin with. also pretty convenient if you’re looking for items near u and your average joe is terminally online anyway so responses are fast. sold my old rig and a kit of ram there meself last december
>>107946155Ask to test the system if you can, look if they have a bunch of reviews otherwise. I mean also you know where they live if they choose to do something fucky too.I've been selling and buying in there for a very long time and haven't had any real issues. You can usually tell right away when people are untrustworthy on there. For all the shit I've sold on Facebook I think I've only been asked if they could check something like 3 times
if you're good at computers you won't ever get thermal throttled with a 8 cores cpu with a good air cooler
are those newegg combos ever worth buying?

>>107946217just amd making more stock of ddr4 capable x3d chips would be huge. a waitfag dream at this point really
>>107946130Tried NZXT and Corsair.NZXT had similar issues too.Both of these brands had weird faulty issues on every single model. I then bought a bequiet AIO since it was on sale for around 110$ and it had 0 issues. I should've gone with this brand from the get go since I used their air cooler previously.>>107946147Smart choice
>>107946201They were back in December. They're not terrible now, but they're not that great either.
>>107946167saw a b850 for $180 pre-tax and grabbed it, less painful of a jump from $140 to $180. pcie 5 over 4 didn't look like something that'd matter too much with the hardware i'm getting but little bit of futureproof is probably worth it.>>107946147air cooling is also what i'm going with, too antsy about the computer juice to trust it
>>107946235I'm sure that it'll happen, makes economic sense to do so, 5800X3D relaunch minimum, but zen 4/5 ccds for am4 would be far betterit would cost a fortune, but it would be worth upgrading
So i remade this prebuilt that they are selling on Game(stop) on Spain for 1299€Obviously is not worth the 1800€ that ends up on pcpp since for example the 5060TI is about 150€ more expensive than a similar model by MSI or the hard drive is about 40€ more expensive than similar 1tb units.Then it also has the problem of a shitty psu/mobo and the memory is 5600 40CL which obviously is not even close to optimal but seems fine.So while i dont think its worth the 1800€ of the pcpp mockup i made it seems to be punching above the 1300€ price tag isn't it?https://www.game.es/ordenadores/sobremesa/pc-gaming/gamepc-pro-gigabyte-edition-25r560tc-ryzen-5-7600x-rtx-5060-ti-16gb-32gb-1tb-ssd-ordenador-sobremesa-gaming/248089https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/JYdd8QIm on a 3060TI AM4 rig that i can probably sell cheap or outright giveaway to a good friend for his daughter that is 14 or so and probably could use a dedicated computer on her room for school and shit instead of having to use the laptop the family has.So could i get any opinions on this? Thank you.
>>107946254no way they're doing that. their engineers would already be too busy working on zen6/7/8/9 to bother with a zen5 am4 backport that's only made financial sense because of short term market conditions
>>107946254yeah they did basically say more zen3 is coming so we'll see https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-ryzen-chief-teases-return-of-older-zen-3-chips-to-fight-soaring-ram-prices-thats-something-were-actively-working-on-right-nowand desu if just the 5700x3d were still available at it's lowest prices a few months ago i'd probably have one of those and be trying to ride this out instead of fomo'ing a full new build
>>107946264I would go for a 750w PSU myself just to have more headroom, it should not be too many more shekels.
>>107946268who's gonna buy zen 6? it'll sell half as much as zen 5 did because no one is going to jump in the platform, the only people that will buy it are people that already have an am5 setup and it'll be very few people because they just launched the 9850x3d and the 9800x3d are good cpus, it's not normal to upgrade just the cpu every 2 yearsmeanwhile there's millions of users still in AM4 who would die for a cpu upgrade, they can charge $500 on the 9800x3d on am4 and it'll fly off the shelves because people don't have to spend on ram or motherboardI wouldn't be surprised if zen 6 launch was post poned to 2027 and zen 7 to 2030
>>107946288their ccds can easily be allocated to server or desktop skus
>buy western AIO brands>noisy with QC issues>lasts you 5+ years if a good model>buy chyna AIO>works perfectly as advertised, every single unit of the bajillions in circulation>lasts you 3+
>>107942773Why are there two threads?
>>107946291they already have fabs for epyc cpus, they don't need extra, the demand for am4 upgrades is far biggerI also think that nova lake launch will be postponed to 2027 and if they don't do that it'll be a failure despite the generation looking good, no way people are going to pay $500 on ram, $300 on motherboards and $500 on cpus all at once, and nova lake requires you to buy all of those
So the OP mentioned Intel cards, but what the consensus between manufacturers?Intel, sparkle, and asrock seem the biggest, but are there any real differences between them? Sparkle seems to be the most expensive?
>>107946326The real question is: why are there *only* two threads? >>107945081
>>107946326theres a spammer who is set to disrupt these threads and makes OPs with shitpost recs and push brand wars its been going on for like a year now
>>107946326>Why are there two threads?Some local tards fight over what's in the OP, I don't even know what the difference between them is.
>>107946288>who's gonna buy zen 6AMD Unboxed viewers, who are very interested in platform upgradability**most are not actually going to upgrade
>>107946337>what the consensus between manufacturersThis is an interedasting question and I would like to know as well. I have not seen a lot of Arc users in the threads so maybe it will take a while to see an answer from someone who has actually used these.
>>107946239>Smart choiceI really just want to never have to open my PC besides dusting. I hoard my PCs and want to make sure I can still throw a HDD or SSD into them years later and still work without worries of needing to replace anything.>>107946251It's just easier to deal with. I'd like the cooler temps, but I don't want to deal with the trouble. I'll just try undervolting the CPU.
>>107946341>brand wars>its been going on for like a year nowA year now. Really./noob/
>>107946363the brand wars have been on since forever, they are part and parcel of these threads but the retard bumping the posts near limit with spam to make the next op and fill it with retarded recommendations to push his shit? then yeah maybe a bit less than a year actually
>>107946365Odd.
>>107946284well a decent gold/modular 750/850 is an extra 90-100€i would probably end up picking it up at some point but if im looking at a 7600 cpu and 5060TI gpu is because im looking for a very budget build, so if it runs well with the silver 650w psu included i'd probably leave it for a whileWhy was i born handsome instead of rich
>>107946372>budget buildEntiendo eso.>born handsome instead of richAccording to 4chan you can turn handsome into money for /pcbg/ parts but - since this is a blue board - we can't get into the details here.
>>107946337>>107946351Other than cooler design/warranty service there isn't much difference between them, all of the B580s have the same core clock.I've been happy with my ASRock steel legend
>>107946395Is the Asrock as quiet as the chart would indicate? Noise is important to a lot of anons, 24 dBa is preddy gud.
>>107946155>whats stopping someone from just selling you something brokenI don't buy used parts, but I was considering buying up used stuff and reselling it since goodgoys love spending their bux. I was going to have a testrig in the bed of my truck to test parts.
>>107946408It's inaudible to me
>>107946332>no way people are going to pay $500 on ram, $300 on motherboards and $500 on cpus all at once, and nova lake requires you to buy all of thosemost people buy prebuilts anon. the diy market is only a small sliver of the consumer pc market which is yet again small compared to the datacenter segment

those psu calculators are so dumb accounting for case fans to be spinning at max rpm, case fans should only every spin at 30 or 35 or 40 % max speed since all they need to do is guide the cool air to the components and guide the hot air out, they don't cool anything directly
>>107946488typically you can just buy a 850w since itll support everything that isnt 5090 and doesnt cost particularly muchno need to calculate anything
>>107942773>https://youtu.be/0lS1S_VhUK4?t=569der8auer confirms that 5070ti is effectively dead with supply being cut greatly
thermalright phantom spirit is sufficient enough for a 9950x right? not sure if air cooling is considered okay for the more powerful CPUs b4 anyone questions my CPU choice, I do gaming on the side and focus on productivity stuff so the x3D isn't worth spending $100+ more on
>>107946506yeah we knowim just confused even bother making that video
>>107946492I have a 5090 and a 1600w PSU with a fancy watt display. I think I never went over 800w while playing. I don't think my rig would ever get past the 1200w even with everything maxed out
>>107946521he's mostly reporting that nvidia has stopped the OPP program meaning that msrp priced cards are no longer being subsidized by nvidia's cashbacks and they will stop existing
>>107946488maybe you are not into fan pwm run 100% and select max rpm from fan specs
i have choice paralysis never building that pc
>>107946522I'd also put in a recommendation for a 1200w+ PSU for a 5090 build. I've got a 9800x3d and 5090 on a 1000W PSU I was hoping would be fine and before I undervolted the card my system did that hard shutdown thing once when running at full tilt, so it's right at the edge, and forget a cpu upgrade from here.

Arrow Lake's application performance was fine so at least from the outside it doesn't seem like anything should stop them from coming out swinging.would be nice to have some competition again for gaming cpus
The 5060ti (16gb version) can handle 1440p pretty well, right? Assuming I'm aiming for like +-100fps, am willing to go down to medium-high settings and I'm using dlss and such? And if a monitor is listed as 180hz/200+hz or what have you, there no real problems if you're getting less fps in your game? Reason I'm asking is that I recently upgraded from a 2600+RX580 to a 5700x+5060ti, thanks to a coworker selling his old hardware for peanuts. I've still got the 2 shitty 60hz monitors that I 'long term borrowed' from work like 7 years ago, but I figured I might as well replace one of them with something actually good now that I've got a good machine going. Mostly because my current monitors have always had slight colour/tint problems. But unless I'm missing something, there aren't really many 1080p monitors made with the fancier stuff like miniled and oled. So it seems it's 1440p or bust?
>>107946747it'll sell poorly because ram is too expensive, nand is too expensive and drumpf literally destroyed the economy with his inflation, by the time people have money to buy hardware they'll have zen 6 to compete with, terrible terrible timing
>>107946871I now how you feel, I was going to buy 2 2tb 990 pro, but they went haywire pricewise so had to panic order 2 2tb 990 evo instead that still had an ok price of 160 euro a couple of weeks back. And then I've convinced myself that who cares about dram anyway
>>107946678>>107946871AlrightI'm going to order everything today
>>107946753pcb cracked cards are worth $0
>>107946871hey anon i'll sell you an msi gaming trio 5070ti for $1400this is a lie btwthat thing's getting returned lmao
>>107946908let's see the list
>>107945784>And black friday just passed by - where the heck were people on BF (yeah, I know, some of you have these things called families, I know) - there was a PayPal 20% CB deal that basically made these cards have a value similar to like - 2015 prices.americans have zero reason to complainrest of the world doesnt have those deals like you do
>>107942797I'm also curious about it, and I hope nothing stops AMD from implementing the same thing
>>107942797too expensive to be worthwhile
APOLOGIZE
>>107946682yes, keep waiting. wait for rtx 6xxx series
>>107942797it's hot
>>107946879>>107946985>asus
>>107946985I really dont understand whats difficult about dissipating heat on a display that has really, really low wattage per areaLike when LG had monopoly on oled and excess heat causes degradation they didnt bother putting in metal sheets that would dissipate heat
>>107946990>>107945217
>>107946994>someone posts picture in question>adds as text the monitor has no fans>other people who have the monitor as well say this is not normalIt's a defective unit but you know just like everything these days it's now used as engagement bait by anons who act like this is the norm
On what page should i bake the new thread? We're not going back to the nicotroon thread I hope.
>>107946945>5070ti>9800x3d>pure loop 3>x870 elite>32gb RAM>990 Pro>MSI MPG A1000G>4000Dshould be fine
>>107946879At this point, it's gotta be an AMD thing, right?
>>107947042buy everything except for the cpu then get the new one
>>107947028>It's a defective unitThat's right. Reddit can confirm this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1q8rtfj/asus_xg27aqngv_pulsar_constantly_overheating/
Fuck this """hobby""", I'm buying a used car as my first instead with my cash savings.
>>107946876again thats a premade for 1300 i can't chose the partsi just remade the list as a mockup choosing the exact same pieces so i could have it as a reference
>>107947042should be fine
>>107947045shades of 14000k where it was blamed on motherboards before intel finally started taking the heat
>>107947048oh, will do. thanks.>>107947077right? i'm satisfied
>>107946901i wouldnt waste a 5060 ti on a 1080p monitor
>>107947069you need to be over 18 to post here lil bro
>>107947069You know who caused the price issues right
>>107947103I'm not American. You need to be at least 18 to drive here and qualifications are much higher, so most don't get a license until their mid 20s.
You know its kinda strange to live in realityeverythings going fine and then 1 asshole somewhere decides to ruin everything for everyone>everyones going fine, then some invest cryptocoins and people start using pc hardware as room heaters with warehourses full of gaming gpus causing shortages>people are fine having no epidemics and chinks decide to cheap out on protective measures in labs developing new viruses that spreads more easily between people>russia decides now that covid is over its a great time to invade europe and start a war over some shithole desert full of slavs>jews decide to buy all of worlds ram to subsidize 4chan indians making AI replies on redditLike humanity would've worked just fine without those things happening, they just have to force the issue. They didnt need to happen.
>>107947151>everythings going fine and then 1 asshole somewhere decides to ruin everything for everyonemany such cases (ahem)
>>1079470424000D or FRAME?
>>107947034shut your sissy mouth, we are going back
>>107947151its amazing we even have functioning countriesi'd have thought earth would better resemble 2b2t with so many asshats like that around
>last minute only could get meme gigabyte gpu with their retarded gel instead of something like ASUS that now goes for 700-750 euro +300 euro over euro msrpi am not looking forward to repasting year or so down the road
>>107947245the gel isnt that bad. it cools well and doesnt flow if you install the gpu horizontally. the bigger problem is that gigabyte used bog standard thermal paste on the gpu core instead of phase change material that msi/gigabyte are using which will pump out within 12-18 months and start making your gpu run really loud
>>107947245https://youtu.be/qPdJqlEiMhk?t=566lol yeah good luck when it comes to that
>>107947264>msi/gigabyte msi/asus*
>>107947272>>107947264i am so fucked.
>>107947272>unironically posting jayz two shekels
>>107947272>>107947307jay is a clueless moron, i sincerely believe he has the lowest iq of all the "major techtubers". It's gotta be in the 90's or high 80's. He should not be doing this job.
>>107947304On the plus side they didn't put any on the backplate.Of course that makes the backplate totally useless and just there for aesthetics but hey, no extra thermal gloop to leak everywhere
>>107947316high iq is a curse that makes you unhappy anyway, nobody needs that
>>107947185FRAME 4000D RS
>>107947328it's fine to be a retard if you're a grocery bagger but not if thousands of people are relying on your brain to process and relay information about technology properly.
>>107947151dont worry, amerimutts won't take this for much longer, they all have guns and they'll start killing powerful people, sadly mutts are too dumb so they get easily swayed by propaganda about muh gommunism but even that has it's limits
>>107947338then i shall join you as it is the case i was already looking at. we shall suffer the same if our choices are misguided
>>107947304not really, the thermal goop performs decently and the only downside is the thermal paste which you can repaste anyway. its not like the vrms are combusting or the boards are breaking when put 0.50lbs of force on it
>>107947339I remember that he claimed the GPU first voltage sensing on ASUS PSUs would do load balancing when in reality it just stabilized the 12V
>>107947359thats because he doesnt actually understand or believe anything he says himselfhe should stick to wholesale repeating of review guide talking points instead of putting his own (wrong) spin on things tbqh
>>107947345nice. i dont think there is much to worry about. it's a popular case for a reason.what's your build?
>>107947359as much hate as hwu and linus gets for the shit they do at least they aren't literally stupid. Their issues stem mostly from ego. Jay is just frustrating to watch because of how little understanding he has on shit.picrel is when i first realized how cooked his brain is. Imagine not understanding the difference between a uarch and a process node. I feel bad for anyone who was able to sit through that entire ramble without clicking off the video. They must be just as cooked as him.
>>107947386he got popular because he did retarded open loop watercooled builds when it was cool to do it, 15 years agonowadays chips are so efficient you can get by with air cooling everything no problem
>>107947386>They must be just as cooked as him.well yeah thats the conclusion i came to too. he's basically only tricking other low iq people or kids who understandably dont understand any of this shit either
>>107947371let me put together a tentative list rqcpu: 9850x3d (when it drops)cooler: thermalright phantom spirit has good talk about it.gpu: PNY 5070timb: MSI MAG b850case: frame 4000D as mentioned, the ARGB is actually cheaper right now funnilypsu: /looking/ at rm850x SHIFT. should be enough.memory: hahahaha. storage: also funny. seeing what i can find secondhand & waiting on deals
>>107947460You sure about that air cooler?
>>107947045No, Asus is known to be aggressive with their stock voltage to win benchmarks, it's likely just Asus being aggressive with voltages, paired with a bug (either on the CPU, or Chipset, which could be AMDs fault) that in certain conditions causes extremely high voltage demand, which ends up frying the CPU/socket.It's too isolated to be a generic AMD issue in general.
>>107947460get the thermalright peerless assassin 140, this should be the cheap cooler goat, or the frost tower 140 if you want to spend more money but it's a bad purchase
>>107947468i don't see why not, i sincerely doubt i'll be pushing the thing hard enough to need something more complicated?
>>107947490why would any mobo manufacturer mess with voltages at allwhat benchmarks? No one does cpu testing on different mobos
>>107947490why cant amd make cpus that dont kill themselves from a little bit of overvoltage? ._.
>>107947151https://xcancel.com/OunkaOnX/status/2014626061896634691stop listening to the tiktok, goy
>>107947100Alright, so 1440p is the way to go then.It's no problem if you get less fps than the monitor can do right? Say if I'm only getting 100-120 on a 280hz monitor, it won't start behaving wierd? Also, seems like the recommended types are VA mini-led, IPS mini-led, or Oled. I checked out some reviews, and I'm getting the impression that IPS mini-led is sort of the good in-between option. Close enough to Oled but without some of the drawbacks? I tend to play singleplayer rpg's and 4x games mostly, and I'll be using it during the day for non-gaming stuff, so it'll be in a well-lit room and with static UI elements. Which I seem to recall isn't great for Oleds, unless they've fixed that already?
>>107947501Maybe I'm imagining things but I recall we had at least one or two anons who where rather dissatisfied with an air cooler for their 9800x3d but you never know it those weren't just shitposts. The 9850x3d should get slightly hotter I'd assume. You have to try honestly but I personally wouldn't want an air cooler that takes so much space with the potential of sacking
>>107947460looks goodmaybe a deepcool assassin iv could work, too
