Got extra money. Is it worth upgrading from 7700x to a 9800x3d? I had a 5600x before that. Thinking one big upgrade that lasts me years n years is better than incremental ones.
>>108529354make the jump to 9800x3d
>>108529354no, wait for zen 6 at this point, it's 8 months away
>>108529354pass, maybe next gen if it's good.
anon my am4 mb died. recommend me a new one
>>108529461b550 msi or asrock
>>108529354It's hard to give advice in that.Like >>108529362 said.We still don't know jack shit about zen6 and am5 still has atleast one more generation with zen6...As far as future proofing theres no way to tell what will be valuable in the future. If your thinking about getting an x3d chip then zen6 'supposedly' has a larger increase in x3d cache that will blow zen5 out the watter. But if your focused on just getting an x3d chip now then the 9800x3d is going to be the most relevant cpu thats available today in the future, atleast on am5. A 9850x3d would be better, but so would a 9950x3d 2.
Why does no one want amd
I have a 5070ti and 12400f. just doing 1080p gaming at 144hz. sometimed im getting stuttering on multiplayer games. do i need to get a better cpu?
>>108529514probably, get a 14600k, shouldn't be too expensive, undervolt it and tune the memory
>>108529514heavily depends on the game but probably something else at play>>108529509same reason rdna3 doesn't get fsr4
>>108529514Get a 14600k, tune the memory, but overclock it until it can pull 300w for sick benchmark scores
>>108529354Just wait for the last gen of cpu's on am5. Then you can entirely skip the next socket.
>>108529195>>108529218amd + nvidia or you're just a jew shill.
>>108529684sounds about right.

looking for a pvp mmo to play with my pc and it's so sad that throne and liberty is the only one that fills those boots these days.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY-h6Vjztlg
>>108529809play esports games for pvp. mobas fill the rpg role.I play MMOs to chill. LotRO just got better UI upscaling support for higher resolution displays so I'm back to playing that outside Deadlock.
>>108529354get the 9850x3d or 9950x3d2
>>108529825speaking of chill mmos, swtor will be getting a directx 12 update this year, it's a fun game for the story alone
>>108529855SWtOR is probably the only F2P Western MMO I haven't tried.
>>108529901each class has it's own story and they are all pretty fun to go through, I would recommend trying the game after the graphical update hits

Anyone in here buy a pulsar monitor?
>>108529954use case of 1440p IPS at the price of 1440p/2160p 240+hz OLED?
>>108529921when is this supposed to release?

I've tried dynamic frame gen and it's cool and all but it doesnt cap at my monitors refresh rate for some reason so I get screen tearing.
>>108529759cope
>>108529993so why spend OLED money on IPS?
>>108530061Because it looks cool
>>108529954I got an OLED monitor & the Pulsar doesn't justify the cost.It's also better to wait for these first gen implementations to mature.4K Pulsar might be interesting, but it will need 1080p dual mode for competitive multiplayer games.
>>108529739its been like this since last year, the nico nigger (amd schizo) and now the Intel schizo always snipe the general and if someone else makes the general they make one themselves anyways, confusing or misdirecring the people that actually need help. Theres no chance of things getting better unless they block their ass from the whole board
>>108529514Might be a stupid question, but why not upgrade to 2k? Your GPU could easily handle it.
Anyone need cheap monitors?https://www.ebay.com/itm/306684447526
Optimal fan set up for 5 fans?Opinions on fans below the gpu as intake? ive read you shouldnt put the farthest back fan since it could block/interfere with the exhaust of the psu if its bottom mounted
>>108530150post a picture of the case
>>108530155its a corsair frame 5000dIt has 4 140 mm and I bought an extra one (same as stock) I was wondering if I should also get extra fans for below the gpu but the ones mounted in the shroud can only be 120theres also space for side fans but Im gonna put that side of the case near a wall
>>108530184red and blue is how I would do 5 but I would buy 3 more and finish the job (purple)
>>108530199I forgot to mention Im gonna use an air cooler (dont like aios after 2 broke on me in 2 years each)I didnt consider a top fan as intakeill think about this set up, thanks anon
there's another intake I didn't draw
if amd would launch new and better am4 x3d chips and back port fsr4 int8 to rdna 2 and 3 people would instantly love them, but they want to be evil like nvidia
>>108530132What intel schizo? It's literally just nico and maybe like 2/3 people trying to bait him into having a melt down
>>108530263chip design takes years to complete. by the time they're done backporting zen4/5 to am4, zen6 would already be 1-2 years old
>>108529984This is true, but we really need rtings to put gsync pulsar monitors into their burn in benchmark.It's really hard to actually burn in the display, since the backlight is just bunch of rows, and it would have a similar burn in as a mini-led (which is hard to burn in as well), but it should be possible in theory.Also I want to see a pulsar display with a dead zone, to see how ugly it would be. I tried to search google but it seems nobody has experience it. yet.
>>108530332I've never heard of burn-in outside OLED, and isn't RTINGS paywalled now?
>>108530323at this point a 5800x3d rerun would be sufficient for the unwashed masses
anon I have>5070ti>850w psuwhat is the lowest possible spec for AI gen img workloads? I want it to be power efficient and cheap.
Somebody talk me out of buying a 1500w psu for the 7800x3d and 5070ti build.
>>108531137you do youfyi i'm using a 1000w gold psu with my 9800x3d+5090 build
>>108531137what you think happens>buy 2000w psu>run at 500w full load>save money from platinum power efficiency what really happens>2000w psu>500w max load>still 1200w away from hitting efficiency band
>>108531160>still 1200w away from hitting efficiency bandQRD?
>>108531183buy a psu that does 15-20% more wattage than your system pulls under max load. pcpartpicker has a decent wattage calc when you list your items
ill pretend its /pcbg/ related, do i get a vertical mouse? thinking about getting a logitech lift, my g pro superlight started double clicking and reverse scrolling
>>10853121815-20% sounds like dangerously low headroom for power spikes.
>>108531183optimal efficiency is about 60-80% of the psu's rated wattage>power spikesirrelevant if you get atx3.1 since the spec requires larger OCP margins on the 12v rails
>>108529954would be good if it would be a set and forget kind of thing but now to reach 60hz and whatever else you have to change settings and get out of the pulsar mode plus the flickerall these hoops just to cope with a 1440p lcdplus it's expensive as fucknot sure I care that much>>108529993>I'm not buying an oled monitor ever again.now you can buy an oled tv>>108530149kinda close in price to a 260hz ips imagine buying a 100hz>>108530332>schizoing over burn in on lcd evenwe are declining
any list for cheap SSDs? even 500g is fine.

Really disappointed in the lack of solid panel cases. There’s some fractal and the Antec wooden one. Literally everything else has a window, unless you go really alternative. I’m at the point in my life where I’ve completely abandoned rbg and only care about function.
Any thoughts on the Antec HCG1200 Pro PSU?
>>108531920If you’re looking for an affordable psu just get a superflower one
I'm way out of storage with my b450 tomohawk mobo. (4 SATA / 1 M.2) and that's the max limit.

>>108532606Okay, go buy one then.
>>108532597you can return it and buy a 270k plus with that money. it's such a great cpu.
>>108532623Or I could keep my current CPU and not do what you say because I don't fucking want to?

What's funny is I could literally buy a 9950x3d and keep my 285k and this retard still wouldn't understand

AIO’s are the biggest trap for gamers especially new builders. After your second build you’re pretty much over aesthetics.
>>108532888They don't put your bank balance on your tombstone
>>108532910personally I don't classify better cooling performance under aesthetics but you do you
>>108532969like 5 degrees better
>>108532983We don't classify better cooling performance under aesthetics.
>>108532983>makes less noise>cools 15% better>cpu performs better>why yes this is purely aesthetics
I'm thinking about getting into computers. How many giggas do I need in them
Do you people actually use your hardware? Or do you jerk off over optimization tuning and synthetic benchmarks?
>>108532913They also don't put your rape convictions, so there's a lesson there.
>>108533047The people in this thread would be fine with a console and a chrome book.
>>108532910If your CPU doesn't need it sure but once it takes a huge and heavy fan that fucks with your clearance for a somewhat equal performance to an AIO fuck no.
>>1085330443.5>>108533047yes
>>108533047My 5090 pulls it's weight when browsing 4chan, watching YouTube, and playing old MMOs and VNs
>>108533059Fan clearance isn’t an issue unless you’re doing itx
>>108532910Nah I use mine to clear the socket and ram area to allowing ram cooling for significantly more stable OCs
I’ve built computers since 2013 and I pretty much never do fan speed/curve adjustments. It’s plug n play for me.
>>108533145Literally the pc equivalent of having a big ass pickup truck just to drive through suburbia with a flatbed full of groceries.
>>108533158I hate computer noise. I replaced all my HDDs with SSDs. My case fans don't spin at all at idle until they need to at load.
>>108533154OCing is a valid excuse for an AIO though. OP’s point is your average gamer who’s using 32gb of ram that probably doesn’t even know how to enable expo, barely knows how to get into the bios, with their sole 2tb nvme, and does no overclocking whatsoever has zero reason to blow 250 bucks on a Kraken Elite just because it looks pretty. A trusty thermalright tower hovering over gskill flare sticks isn’t going to be the death of your marvel rivals match.
