Report all flamewarring, trolling, spamming posts. Long live /pcbg/!

Post your /pcbg/ anyway but know that we have enraged the amdshitposter to the degree that he has vowed to shit up this thread with trash with the goal of killing it.

remain vigilant, /pcbg/, report in silence, and above all - have fun.

Spotting the shitposters: the shitposters may be working at gunpoint in a bot farm, paid shill/bot farm, lone schizo, etc. the shitposters rarely ever just tags the OP and asks for it to be updated or changed as asked for in the second part of the sticky. they also resort to things like ad hominem, racism, cherry picked benchmarks, false information, etc. and one of my favorite things is the lone post tagging no one but responding to some previous reply to whatever argument it felt it was losing or with a one-liner just to flood the vapid minds of the unwashed masses with <specific vendors products>. the shitposters necropost old tropes to flood the threads and bump post counts e.g. random garbage questions that any /noob/ would just google or disingenuous descriptions of problems that are copypasta with a few words changed in them. Single line, low-quality posts are often the copypasta. Most recently the OP appears to be trying a super stealth approach - creating the OP with only "subtle" alterations like "-Avoid Nvidia Due To Possible Melting Connectors & Driver Problems", griefing /g/ by creating and self deleting the thread after a short while, deleting the OP img, shilling native vs upscaling, etc.

Thanks, anons.

There was also some deal on amazon where I got $70 off this order, too. So I got this drive for like $480. Which is way better of a price than you'd be paying for even Gen 4 4TB drives right now. And well under MSRP.

I hate so much that the market is the way it is.

Any glass mousepads that aren't either shit or gigantic? Mostly just want something durable and easy to clean. Better mouse speed would be a bonus but not a priority. Current cloth mousepad is 28x36cm so something that's similar in size is what I'm looking for. Maybe 30x40cm at most.

>>108169386
All major mobo manufacturer had reported dead x3d. However the last time I saw the list it were around 200 cases with most of them on assrock having 100+ followed by ASSUS with around 30 and then the remaining brands. Unlisted were all smaller and more unknown manufacturers. The problem is that we don't know the market share of each company. Assus is supposedly huge AF compared to others but no idea.

>>108169675
So in short its still a relatively unlikely occurrence?
Is there any known correlation or cause or its just a freak accident thing that just happens?

It's not uncommon, its extremely rare. You should avoid Assbutt boards because its better to be safe than sorry when their failure rate is outsized compared to the rest. Asus is a worldwide giant so their reported failure *counts* are to be expected.

Man why IS Asus a giant when they have a brand tax that makes them distinctly more expensive than the rest outside of their Primes?

That's just investing I suppose, or gambling if you're trying to time the dips.
It just feels bad to pay 4x for a thing that had a "normal price" just a few months ago. Of course if we had infinite money that wouldn't be a problem, but paying $400 for RAM instead of $100 it means $300 less that could've been spent on a better GPU or literally anything else.

The fact there are failures at all with CPUs reaching 2% is pretty significant.

Thank you to that anon last night who found me rhat PHAT GPU support that goes 125mm+ (5 inch)

I'm very tempted to now splurge another $150 on a good vertical riser kit that hopefully won't rape my PCIE case slots so badly

I just want my shit to last forever and the last time I bought a GPU was in 2015 when they didnt weight 3-4kg and didn't need anti-sag or other shit

>>108171727
>Do et.
Possibly. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on some Light Wings 3-packs second hand for 85 dollars, but I then watched some more reviews by channels like STS and sites like HWCooling on top of finding the fan guide from be quiet! and discovering that no, the regular Silent Wings 4 actually move the most fluid for their rated noise output at their rated RPM from the looks of their offerings. Noise profile and CPU cooler fans remains to be seen...
>Use the silicone fan plugs instead of screws.
I'm trying to find some at a reasonable price because testing has made me aware of the finite nature of plastic screws. Was also thinking about getting some butyl, epda, and polyurethane (PU) foam and whatever other material to just wrap everything in, even the sides of fans and cages. Hopefully it doesn't make airflow that much worse due to reduced volume or increased surface friction or whatever.

Also yes having more anti vibration material on the side does impact air flow and heat absorption, that's the trade-off.
I would not wrap your fans in anything. Just use the silicone plug mounts instead.

Remember, purchases are like poker. You are spending $2k on parts -- what's an extra 1-10% to make it sound and cool better? $20 for silicone plugs (if you need the ones that don't come with either the Inlet kit or fans with Noctua, I.e. I think the SAV4 which was in my pic the flush end). $200 on fans.

Checking the Astral measurement frequently at 600W without it my 12V-2x6 cable would probably have melted already. Slightly changed the cable position? Too bad direct change of 0.2A. The worst is that the pins can be moved a bit by 1-2mm and depending on their position, the way your cable is placed and some randomness cause of production variations you can get hot 10A when the max is around 9.5A while another pin sits at 7A or somewhat decently balanced sub 9A on each pin.

I'm thinking that I should finally start modeling some of my own case ideas in 3d or out of wood especially when there's a lot of mileage you can get out of ATX if you just don't conform to a boxy exterior, go full Adrian Newey mode or something with creating one wind tunnel after another and add further modularity, who cares if it costs 400 dollars in practice.

Not sure what's funnier, looking up the new cost of German fans, or the fact that inventory seems to be low enough that there are customer limits... or maybe the system is trying to stop me from even thinking about wasting $32 per fan... Noctua fans are even more expensive than that here funny enough. NF-A14 is 40 dollars per fan... LOL!

Still, looking at the claimed numbers, 13.6 dba for 0.92 air pressure at 1100 RPM is CRAZY and I'd really like to know where the P14 Pro stands at that RPM in regards to air pressure and noise.

I am the first and third reply. I hold tight on the alternating resistors because it literally was a eureka moment when I did it for my old case right before my new build. The beat pulse that could occur during gaming was driving me wild as the fans aged plus minor dust. The rpm offset really makes sense from sine wave calc.

Besides, look how much air the Arctic fans move through obstructions compared to the pitiful 0.92 h2o the be quie fans move in some cases, that is very weak and basically means you should only use them in open front panels which defeats the point of the solid panels be quiet has.

Anon can't advise on the "best" cpu+mobo but you do know that anons complain about 990 series and Linux? Plz. research for yourself.

>>108174255
as for cpu, there is only 2 options, the budget: 7800x3d, the best: 9800x3d

>>108174270
Or better yet, a 5070.

>>108174255
Just get a 9700x, the X3D are not that important unless you're targeting high FPS in some games. Or you exclusively play Factorio and Baldur's Gate 3 all the time, which in that case, find a 7600x3d if they exist in your area or go to 7800x3d. The 9800x3d is definitely the best performant for those games but you either can or cannot pay the premium.
Also >>108174270, most recommended ones are the MSI B850 Tomahawk but really get whatever has the features you need.

what are some common ways to reduce system latency that everyone should know but isn't really talked about??? for instance you're supposed to use a fps cap to prevent vsync input lag.

Not everyone is a /gaymer/, anon. X3D is the patricians choice for overall performance /gain/s and may very well be worth the extra shekels spent in the long term.

I'm going to keep asking you HDD chads


What brand and what retailer do you buy your HDD from? Nas drives okay for once a week backup? What else to look for? If it's a weekly backup should I aim for 5400ish or 7200 drives?

So no I will not stop asking every week until I know more

It's yet another front of the brand loyalty wars. The entire discourse around 13th and 14th gen intel issues would have you believe the failure rate was at least 70% for them, when in reality it was around the same rate the current gen of AMDs are encountering while facing none of the backlash.

>>108172420
Obviously there is. Even the creators who will tell you in their videos how much they hate these dumb shit thumbnails, they'll tell you in the same breath they get more views with them than on videos without them. It's the one part of the omnipresent "algorithm" that actually holds water.

No and I'm not a waitfag I just have anxiety and my drives are hitting 5 years old so either they are fine for another 5 or they start shitting themselves due to the tail end of the tub curve
And since they're out of warranty I'm fucked
I got 2x other HDD but those are 1 for 1 mirrors of my "work" drive so I always have a backup in case one shits the bed and I don't lose my portfolio and I use almost ancient drive just as a backup-backup to keep for 6 months in the bank off-site

I don't doubt its overpriced but realistically I don't have options besides waiting and hoping for a deal, or not building.
9070 XT is about the same price so if the money is better spent there, I'm not opposed to going with that GPU instead

This used to be a toss-up but with DLSS 4.5 out now it's hard to recommend the AMD option, see >>108174417 and img >>108174478.

>>108174532
damn, what about the 9070?

>>108174552
Yeah, Nvidia cards are going to last way longer with DLSS.
It's kinda of up to AMD to make something to equal it now.

>>108173870
Yes and it should be for the foreseeable future. People forget 8gb cards have been around since 2012 and only now like 15 years later is it hitting a limit in a few new games. 2080 ti's from 2018 and 3080's from 2020 with 11/10GB vram are still more than fine today with vram headroom to spare even at high resolutions at high settings. Also it's worth noting that by the end of this year we'll probably see a fully functional steamOS for PC and the windows equivalent, and both have shown noticeable decreases in both sys ram and vram usage.

>>108174660
Damn, so Nvidia can't just use RADV either? It's AMD exclusive?

>>108173870
no, 12gb is totally fine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPGDVh_cQb0

>>108174720
>steamOS for PC
The Steam console will have 8GB VRAM, correct? Game devs always have to account for the lowest common denominator so 8GB will be fine for casual /gayming/ for years to come, 12 is of course better, and more than that is just dick-waggling for most anons.

>>108174734
AYYMDEAD UNBOXED is a retard that clearly rigged his reviews to favor AYYMDEAD, untrustworthy bitch

No one has complained about running out of memory on Nvidia forums or X or even leddit

>>108174725
>It's AMD exclusive?
RADV is the vulkan user space driver for AMDGPU, Xe (Intel) has ANV, NVIDIA has NVK in the open source side but is nowhere near ready, it is like 50 to 80% slower than the proprietary driver.
The supposed Holy Grail will be NOVA (new in development kernel drivers for Turing and later) plus NVK, but that combo is probably like 4 years away.

The windows full screen experience has already shown that it can save anywhere between a few hundred to 1GB of vram, and 1-3GB system ram. So if a game is just about pushing over the vram limit now, in 6 months time it should actually run just fine whether on windows or steamOS. Most people will be on windows.

>>108174828
there is no difference between 30 fps, 7 fps and 0 fps, it's all unplayable
so the more you paid for it the worse it is, all those cards will be made obsolete in one generation when everything turns towards full RT (PT) so if you paid $1500 for a 5080 instead of $600 for a 9070 xt you lost the most amount of money

>>108174851
The whole AMD cope this gen is just bizarre to me.
Companies have bad generations sometimes, it happens. It's not like the 90XX series is the new Bulldozer, it's just mediocre, not actively bad.
I hope AMD do better next generation because competition is ultimately a good thing.

>>108174871
The difference is 23fps and 30fps, actually.

That's how numbers work.
