>>109143170Which of the cheapest models do you recommend?
Do people know that there is no difference between maxed out 2026 build and mid tier 2019 build is your OS is not bloated?Also for the last like 5 years gamedevs and nvidia were shipping slop and slopmachines, so when it comes to resolution and frame rates, there is no GPU in the world that can run gaymes in 4k 240Hz without fake frames and upscaling etc.Basically you're better off with 1080p, that's what all GPUs render anyways. And then it makes no sense to have more than 8GB VRAM or 16GB RAM.As for your CPU, it can be 10 years old and it's ok, basic things will work just fine, most software too. If you're a salty dude and have pre cloud era software in active use, you know it's snappy and works perfectly well. Getting 2026 hardware is just diminishing returns at this point.So why do people build these things? Besides the obvious reasons, like falling for marketing and rainbow LEDs.
>>109143203I like pretty looking games on my 4k qd oled monitor
>>109143196the one i posted the powercolor hellhound
>>109143196>>109143211i stand by it.
you dont need more than a pulse
>>109143209>pretty looking gamesWhere? Any examples?
>>109143236that hole was meant to have a 92mm fan exhaust on it, surely
>>109143236This vexes me.
>>109143241Pragmata has nice scifi environmentskc2 has really impressive forests, alan wake 2 is another with its baked lighting007 first light pushes dense high detail crowds in particularzero parades has this neat painterly environments lookTheres sorta an overabundance of high quality games out and you dont even have time to play them all
4070ti currently running a 27" IPS 1440p, do I:replace with a 32" OLED 2160p monitor, watch movies at 2160p, games set to run at 1440porsupplement with a 85" OLED 2160p TV, watch movies at 2160p, games on the old 27"The TV is only a few extra hundred $ but I've never plugged a TV into a PC before.
>>10914327932" monitor would be my picknot having 2 monitors kinda sucks you can just dlss upscale games to run 4k and get playable fps
>>109143278no need to interrupt the hog busy at his trough
>>109143279second option, 100%, movies are meant to be watched on TV and laying down
>>109143263that whole gpu is made for deshrouding.>>109143268i checked and it's not like that anymore. you can sleep well today.
>>109143290i actually do have 2 monitors, an old 24" TN 1080p - it'll be replaced by the 27" if i get a 32"couldn't i treat the 86" TV as a 2nd monitor, even if its 6 feet away?
>>1091433162 monitors are there next to each other and you dont need to turn your head much to see whats happening
>>109143279I second the TV option, some OLEDs are great monitors as well look up your TV in review sites/YouTube to check
I'm thinking of getting a WD Black SN7100 2 TB as my boot drive for my 14700k/6800 XT rig. They run about $280. Is there anything else I should consider for that price or is this one good to go?
>>109143377it has no dram cachewhat prices are Samsung 9100 Pro or 990 pro available for u
ive been keeping an eye on monitors and it looks like its kinda dry this prime day? I have a 1080 60mhz monitor and ive been looking at mini led since the oled look to be stuck 450~+. is there some likelyhood with 5k monitors showing up that would it be better to just wait for black friday/monday for better offers?
>>109143395The 9100 pro is $340 and the 990 pro is $370 for the same capacity. Will the DRAM cache really make that much of a difference? This will be for games, especially flight sims, and some light video editing. I'm in the US.
>>109143422Id get 9100 pro then
Gonna build my pc later today, it's a Ryzen gen 5 with a 870 board. In theory it works out of the box without needing to update the bios, but should I do it anyway? Or should I only update it if I encounter any issues?
>>109143433Id update it afterwards using the mobo brands windows app
>>109143377buy the cheapest 2tb you can find, they are all the same
>>109143448They're obviously not. Do you just mean that they are functionally the same in most real world use cases?
>>109143203nothing is wrong with upscaling.what's wrong is 4k. it's not meant for desktops. you shrink everything down to 1440 or 1080 just to make it legible, but still pay the 4k render tax.
>>109143481as long as its nvme then they all perform basically the same. even a ssd thats half the speed of a ps5 ssd can still play ps5 games just fine.
>>109143279I would go TV for TV.
>>109143481they are all the same, just buy one that is new
Is there a BIOS setting that sends more power to fans, or the motherboard in general? One of my two CPU fans isn't starting. But when I isolate it by itself, it's fine.
>>109143578the fan headers are usually limited to 1 amp. if you have a pump header they can do 2-3 amps.
>>109143567Cache-free SSDs are slower than spinning discs in many cases such as random read/write.I have yet to see any definitive proof that HMB is just as good as DRAM or that it even makes a compelling advantage versus cache-free.The cheapest drives aren't even going to have HMB for that matter.If you're spending $300 on an SSD you might as well spend $400 and get one that'll be twice as good. Being a cheap cunt has consequences.
>>109143578sounds like you don't have it plugged in correctly. you should only need to tinker with the fan speeds based on temperatures, not power levels being sent to individual fans.
>>109143585HMB all depends on the OS implementation. Windows by default gives HMB drives 64mb. Custom nvme drivers and Linux can modify it to give it as much as you want from none to gigabytes larger than SSD cache.
Are there any guides or go to tier list for PSUs? One of the few parts that confuse me when shopping for what is considered “good”.
>>109143618I think ltts forums had someor ask llms
>>109143618>look for PSU in your budget>look it up on cybernetics website>if it has a good grade buy>if not look for another It's how I do it.
>>109143618theres a PSU tier list in the OP. you want something with more than enough 12v amps for your needs. for example AMD officially says: >Recommended power supply for AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card is minimum 800W or greater power supply with 12V output > 65A. read the 12v label on the box and it should say 65A or better on the 12V rail.
https://youtu.be/6O5XGVaPDZohttps://youtu.be/-ot96M9RM6ohttps://youtu.be/P-KSUt4F7ZYhttps://youtu.be/5yzSmc2rioIwho is right and who is wrong? are intel cpus really that shit?
>>109143633intel speedstep / amd coolnquiet cause lots of latency because it puts the cores to sleep and low clock rate. turning it off forces the cores awake and high clock rate and makes things snappy but you also drain a lot of power which can make intel or amd very hot.
>>109143633why do benchmarkers who have access to every piece of hardware choose the 800x3d CPUs to compare GPUs?
>>109143649they are fast
>>109143649For 5 years amd has been dominating with x3ds, and intel simultaneously undominated with their shitty fabs. Its weird whenever I hear about some guy using intil 13-14th gen and its usually some loyalty ritual, they always used intel so the thing eating 3x more watts doesnt bother thme somehow.
>>109143657>they always used intel so the thing eating 3x more watts doesnt bother thme somehowwe have been here before >>109143655
>>109143657people are retarded. it's funny watching streamers over the last few years make a big deal about switching to an amd cpu for the first time in their life, because all their sponsors were calling them fucking retards for wanting an intel prebuilt from them.
>>109143657>eating 3x more wattsin video gaymes it's going to be closer if not less depending on which incel processor you're talking about exactlyThey eat a lot of power actually doing something heavy on all cores, but so does ryzen
>>109143657That's my friend, except he now has a 285k+. When he got it I asked why when he already had a 9800x3d system, dude said the same bullshit Intel "feels better" "I read AMD is bad on reddit", and when he saw I wasn't buying his bullshit he accused me of being a shill. All I told him was he should've just gotten the 270k as it's just as good at gaming, his response was that he needed to have the best Intel CPU. I just don't get some people.
>>109143655>Benched @ 720pI get what they're doing but how many retards are going to look at this and go>zomg guys I can get 30 more frames fps per frame seconds if I just buy this better CPU!and not understand they're gaymin at 1080p medium settings.
>>109143663Most of them have switched right back to Intel now that they're not being made fun of anymore.
>>109143675what if you upgrade your gpu? that incel cpu you bought won't get any faster. x3d is held back by current gpu tech.
>>109143669Offer to buy the shitty AMD system off him for cheap since it's so shitty.
>>109143623>>109143628>>109143631Thanks
>>109143681I did, he said it was for his nephew.
Intel does feel better. You know why Sandy Bridge is the best? They moved the interrupts from the bridge to the CPU. This has insane low latency compared to AMD today that has to rely on the SoC to tell it to interrupt or worse the CPU has to interrupt itself to interrupt other things through the chipset driver.
intel bros went from bragging about muh max fps to>muh it feels betterintel really fell off kek
>>109143694Intel was better up until the 10900k, afterwards they're worse than AMD.
>>109143633>Youtube tech stars are wrong and dumbdo you agree with this statement or not?>>109143669>he needed to have the best Intel CPUand then he bought a 285k>>109143694you don't know what an interrupt isschizo central
wait chads, how we holdin' up?
>>109143706He's a normie, to him bigger number better, therefore the 285k is better than the 270k.
>>109143703this is the whole point behind nvidia reflex / amd antilag2. you give up some max fps for better smoothness and max latency so it FEELS better.
>>109143711Badly, shit is gonna go up in price again by the time I save up enough for a new build. I'm looking at needing $5k for my next build and it'll probably be a mid tier build instead of a high end one like in the old days.
I currently have a 5600. Today I purchased a 5800X3D. Am I retarded? My logic was that I'm priced out of buying a new motherboard + ram setup, so I may as well buy the best cpu I can for future proofing
>>109143713even the most retarded noromalfag knows that newer = better270k is not only newer but cheaper and also faster qöq (still sucks tho)
>>109143722No, if I was in your shoes I would have done the same and just rode that shit out for the next 8-10yrs.
>>109143722if you ignore the previous pricing and just focus on what's available right now, then it's a fine move
>>109143711I skipped DDR4 entirely. waitchads never lose.went from an i7 860 to a 7800x3d. I think the first gpu in the computer was a gtx 260, to a 1060, to a 4070 with new build.
>>109143717reflex doesn't even do anything unless you're GPU limitedoverhyped meme tech just like everything else NVIDIA has released in the past 10 yearsnot saying it's bad to have the option but game developers could easily implement it themselves if they weren't retarded>>109143725it's the same chip
>>109143717sounds like cope because 1% and .1% lows are worse on inteltheir cpus just suck for gayming your cpu doesn't have a rendering pipeline like a gpu. it's not holding onto anything.
>>109143706>you don't know what an interrupt isyou're right I don't. because I manually interrupt my cpu.
>>109143703Brother you don't understand they just FEEL it. It VIBES with them.JIVES maybe even.
>>109143733I'm going to skip ddr5 entirely
>>109143588Only one way to plug, desu.>>109143584This was the help tip needed. I use my pump header for something small. I just switched the tow. CPU fan didn't start up the first time until I gave it a spin. Seems to work with a couple power offs so far. Will keep an eye on it.
>>109143725Normies do not look up reviews, unless it's one that validates their retarded thinking. If I asked my friend to look up a review of the 285k, he wouldn't go on Google and type in "is the 285k the best Intel CPU" he would type in something like "285k is the best Intel CPU" and then he'd get some no name YouTuber telling him he's right and the 285k is the best.
>>109143722nope. buying the end of a platform AND the end of a RAM generation is the correct move.
>>109143737reflex/antilag2 are always doing something. thats why esports use for counterstrike 2 & dota 2.>>109143739wrong thats why cs2 and dota2 esports all use intel.
>>109143744i'm joe vibin right now.

>>109143757wrong, x3d is amazing in dota2, one of the games that benefits from it the most
>intel sponsored events >oem sponsored events>hardware sponsored events yeah. i am vibin'.
>>109143722>Am I retarded?i don't think so. it makes sense to do that in some situations. i'm considering that, except in my case it's an i7-7700k -> 5800X3D. i can re-use everything else and not pay the RAM cartel the AI tax.
I hereby declare the 270K Plus to be VIBELORD CPU OF THE DECADE.
>>109143773250k plus is better

>>109143585The drive I was looking at has HMB. Will I really notice the lack of DRAM cache for games, flight sims, and light video editing? Also how the fuck is a spinning drive faster at literally anything???

>intel the poorfag option since x3dKeK
>>109143809There is no poorfag option with current RAM prices, in fact the only poorfag option is to live next to a microcenter and get one of their bundles.
>>109143782Myself? I'm unsure. Like I said, I'm yet to see definitive proof that HMB can hold a candlestick to proper DRAM.I follow the train of logic that if the most expensive SSDs still use DRAM then it's obviously the better choice.In your use-case? Ehhh... I think not. >Also how the fuck is a spinning drive faster at literally anything???This actually may be incorrect. I had a quick look right after I posted that because I wanted to see where I got that information from but I can't find any actual sources. This might be straight up bullshit, but I remember someone mentioning that cache-less SSDs are poo in comparision. Might even be that shill Linus faggoT Tips.
>>109143807zen 6 has max 24 cores rightits going to reduce the multicore gap between amd and intel, depending on how they price itsince its am5 + ddr5 unobtanium I cant image it being too high
>>109143799what is this image meant to portray?
>>109143818>>109143809
>>109143817Yes, ost supposed to be moving to 12 core per ccd, so the max would be 24cores on 2 ccds. Unless they use their own e-cores then they could have 12bug cores and 24+e-cores on the second ccd. But everything points to AMD sticking to big cores only on their CPUs.
>>109143818GPU bottleneck, if he really wants to make it more obvious he should post the same chart but with 4k resolution.
>>109143799why is the 250k+ highlighted but the 270k+ in the chart on the right?
When will AI bubble pop so ram prices can go down?
>>109143866In 10 years, but the price won't go down. It's the new normal, RAM now costs $500 for 32gb.
>>109143816Linus Race Mixing Tips did shit on DRAMless SSDs, but noted that it depends on your use case and other cache types can make up for it. He was MOSTLY angry at manufacturers for not explaining which units had DRAM and which didn't.

If I just got a 9850X3D for 380$ on sale, there's no way it would be worth it for me to upgrade to a Zen6 CPU (assuming it's on the AM5 platform), right?

>>109143973>Like I feel the 9850X3D is about as fast as it can possibly get for gaming. My 5070Ti is already the bottle neck in my set up.Cpus are way ahead of gpus considering gaming bottlenecks. In actuality it's the architecture of the cpu thats holding gaming back, but the developers create games with dogshit consoles in mind and then give the options to fuck with graphics. Inevitably that means that gpus are going to be the greatest bottleneck. What menu options does the game you play have that would hit the cpu harder? In most games there are none.

If 3D cache is so good on cpu's, why isn't Intel doing it? Checkmate, Mr. Goldstein.
>he doesn't know
>>109144352>>109144358>>109144364How good is ARM for desktops/laptops nowadays? For both performance and software compatibility. The battery life is good but intel's lunar lake processors and wildcat/panther lake processors also are doing well for battery life.>>109144393They are going to do it for nova lake though.
>>109144364I don't want locked down garbage
>>109144406At the start, ARM had fantastic battey life but still couldn't compete with heavy work loads like x86 processes. But Intel has already closed the gap with their Ultra line of laptop cpu's when it comes to battery life versus ARM.I think realistically the only ARM processors that can compete with x86 in terms of workloads is Apple's M series. But of course, apples M series chips do come with their own set of problems.

Which is the superior processor for gaming Ryzen 7 9800x3d, or Intel Core Ultra 7 265K?
>>1091445659800x3d
>>109144579damn, i managed to score a 64gb 5080 machine with 2400, but its got the damn intel processor. I might go down to a 32gb of the same price for a ryzen instead. fucking prebuilts man
>>109144595>>109144565keep the 64gb and 265K imo. x3d's and am5 boards constantly go on sale and switching out the board+cpu will be cheaper than switching out 32gb for 64gb on the 9800x3d+32gb+5080 prebuilt

Thoughts on this build?
>>109145260Free case wtf
>>109145266Huh, I only noticed that now too, builder is providing some case selections for free.
>>109145260Can't find any worthwhile reviews on Gamdias, I wouldn't touch itYou can get tighter memory for cheaper.I would be skeptical of ssds from some random builder, could be fake.
Are we back to the era where pre-builts being on sale are cheaper than building your on?
>>1091452601TB drive is pretty small.You should get a larger drive to bulk store stuff. Unless you're really willing to be frugal with your storage.
>>109145324I think so. I think even with the bundles at microcenter their prebuilts are probably a better deal.
>>109144902It's all I do considering my PC died months ago and I can't afford a new one.
>>109145260>that CPU >that motherboard >that RAMThat's the microcenter bundle

I'm trying to keep things at around the $2700 range but 2TB doesn't seem to be that terribly more expensive so I'll think about it anon>>109145376Should I go up to the 9900x?>>109145386I'll take that to heart, thanks.Thanks for the answers btw you guys
>>109145100get a 5080fe thenyou're not poor, are you?
>>109145417Doesn't haver to be seasonic, just something that has existing reviews that are searchable, since sometimes even cheap brands have good components.Also that PSU is not modular so you'll have the bundle of unused cables in your case.>>109145426>xx80retard

maybe a stupid question but what reasons are there not to do a micro ATX build? i can either upgrade my motherboard to a fullsize ATX or downsize my case to a micro ATX.
>>109146492micro atx have poor airflow. your components get hotter and louder and boosts slower.
Physx in your browserhttps://oimo.io/works/cloth/
>>109146492matx is as small as i would go. you get a good size reduction without losing much (if at all) and shorter air flow paths. you just have to get a good case and do some research on the part lengths (gpu, ram, cooler, etc.)gpus are so big now that they take up the size of an matx board anyways when it comes to the pcie slots so you might as well.

Hello frens. Im from the Philippines and looking for a laptop around 650-750usd for my brother. Will be used for school work and light gaming (warcraft 3, valorant etc). I've built my own pc 5 years ago but now Im super confused on intel and amd cpus naming schemes. Not looking for a specific model but just advices on what cpu should I look for around my budget
>>109146853ask an llm, maybe they can keep track of laptop soc names

>>109143152NIGGA please dont tell me (you) overpaid for it... cause that'll be really fucking gay
>>109147004>jailbroken PS4>Golden Age of gaming
>>109147019I consider it golden age not because 2014 and onwards is such. That's more like dawn of the golden age. But PS4 is backwards compatible with previous titles. Right before PS3 stopped being relevant it actually had games (shocking, I know) the same ones as xbox 360, plus there's some good ones from ps2 and ps1 even. I have not tried any emulation stuff myself, as there were plenty of remasters and such.Also jailbroken 360 is very cool as well. I have both. Just in case. Barely fixed 360 after it died. They clearly planned it's obsolescence as reason it died was stupid. Some voltage regulator that is not worth even 1 cent. The guy in the shop gave me a replacement for free, not even joking. He was about to close it when I showed up and just gave me 3.3V voltage reg and wished good luck.

I'm a retard and I didn't have any foresight last year aside getting a 2TB 990 EVO months before the RAM shitshow happened, so I'm currently forced to build a DDR4 with a R5 5600XT for work using Adobe shit. Not the best pick but for some reason AM5 CPUs are priced lower than AM4 and I can't spare more for tight budget reasons.Is there any substantial difference between an R5 5600X and a R5 5600XT aside the extra 100 Mhz on the later? I found the XT slightly cheaper.Also, what's a good use for a spare FX6300 with 32GB RAM? Is it worth setting a NAS or some other home server on this? I'd rather reuse this than send it to the trashcan.>>109143203I'm still rocking a FX 6300 with 32GB and an RX 580. It has always been way below subpar with anything rendering, but for some reason Adobe shit still works fine, mostly.If anything it's disgusting how a lot of post COVID game titles have gotten so terribly unoptimized. CPU has always cucked me to different degrees but a good chunk of later "AAA" titles are straight unplayable thanks to Denuvo and other unneeded DRM trash. I played through Elden Ring by basically disabling Denuvo + multiplayer, kusoge has freezes every 2-3 mins otherwise.
>>109147112>some reasonamd released 5800x3d if you want something decent for gaming

>>109147123I wish I could afford that. It would be like over 600-700 dollars for me after taxes, I'm not 'murican and I'm a poorfag so I have to deal with "premium" prices. If I could spare that much I would have gone for the AM5 platform with the current DDR5 RAM shitfest.Sad that AMD never had a mobo chipset that allowed for DDR4 and DDR5 on AM5. Intel got the ASROCK H610M at least.
>>109147168>I'm a poorfag so I have to deal with "premium" pricescheck with local retailers if they're really charging "premium"
>>109146517yeah, because good games haven't been a thing past covid
Cheapest 5060TI is the same price as the cheapest 5070 in my country.
>>109147112am5 is cheaper because ddr5 is more expensive, so there's less demand for processors that use it.
>>109145674I played pragmata, 007, & stellar blade recently on a 5600x and a 3060TI and they all ran fine007 and SB did push my gpu temps to 80-88ºC when playing at 1440p@60fps, pragmata was always at like 50ºC to the point i was thinking on increasing the fps to 75 or 90 to push the card a bit.Just play videogames
>>109147112>what's a good use for a spare FX6300 with 32GB RAM? Is it worth setting a NAS or some other home server on this?Absolutely not. Just keep the old hardware like this for use with old software, for a rainy day in the dystopian future. Install win7 or even XP on it and the software from the corresponding era. When you get some nostalgic fever on a random weekend. It's actually nice to have something like that, stashed in the closet.> CPU has always cucked me to different degrees but a good chunk of later "AAA" titles are straight unplayable thanks to Denuvo and other unneeded DRM trashTrue, but you should consider the fact that 2012 hardware is 14 years old. There was a considerable jump in CPU quality around 2016. 10 yo hardware is very different from 14 year old hardware. Compare it to something like Intel Core i7-6700K, huge difference, although they're only a few years apart.
Does a 5800X3D bottle neck a 9070XT?
>>109147634in some cases, but generally not
>>109147634an am5 x3d would probably be better in some games, but its hard to sayit is kinda old cpu at this point
>>109147634It will in autism-sims.
>>109147644It's really not old. But I would not get one new today, that's a bit weird.If you have something like that already, you keep it. If you have nothing, then get something better than 5800. Either that or a used CPU. Because CPUs are that kind of hardware that rarely breaks and when it does, it's very obvious.
>>109147668it's old enough to be slower than an intel e-core these days
>>109147168If you cannot afford current or even prev gen mid hardware, just buy used. It is better than hunting for binned e-waste.>>1091473555600 are actually great CPUs, They were once also very cheap used, a lot of people had them and tried to migrate to next gen. Not sure if it's still a thing, but I've seen people asking like 25-50 usd for one. Like dirt cheap.Maybe not something to be hyped about, but when you have to build a PC or two for your family members, you quickly start ot prefer big value over latest hotness. 5600 priced like that is very high value per dollar.
any anons have this unit:>Alienware 27 240Hz AW2726DM (QD-OLED) worth the $?
>>109147722Sorry Mr Anderson, but this is a mandatory pic.
Ok show me what you got.Let's assume you have an optiplex SFF desktop you bought for around 130$So your task now; make this dell optiplex more performant than a steam machine but you are not allowed to put the system into another case.
>>109147735my qdoled ships with ULMB but it halves framerate, doesn't work with HDR and VRR making it a meme
>>109147743the flat single slot 4060, it even exists in a narrow variant, whatever cpu with a flat cooler. Idk about mobos tho because the prebuilt usually have proprietary mobos and normal ones might now fit inside.
How bad are the temps on the M.2 slot behind the GPU? I imagine it's worse than the one above it because of worse airflow.
>>109147743You know, from what I've seen recently, it seems like Gaben won again. Everyone is talking about steam machine and companies (multiple of them) are trying to build a better steam machine for the same money.Key detail: they're all building steam machines in the end.
im stressed out from thinking about my ram suddenly failing, and when I rma the store says "out of stock" and refunds me 120€ for 32gb of ddr5
>>109147921Ok sure but can you make the optiplex build, please?
>>109147907It might be hot but not because of lack of airflow, GPU will simply dump a lot of heat under load straight into the m.2.But how many times are you blasting your GPU and transferring huge amount of data at the same time?
>>109147950>€Didn't your shithole decriminalise theft? Just go steal RAM from a bestbuy or something.
My current pc is from 2011, mostly intact. Is there any chance a pc built in 2026 will survive for 15 years under regular use?
>>109147954True. Probably a custom shroud would help avoid this. Something that would act like a wall between SSD and a GPU, without preventing airflow for neither.In general, 99% of the airflow and cooling problems in modern PCs are solved by cheap plastic shrouds. But they require custom CAD work, manual labor (even 3D printed parts require post processing), so nobody bothers. Easier to buy bigger goyming PC case with more LGBT LED fans.
>>109147976Sure since hardware progress largely plateaud The biggest gpu thing would be getting a lot of vram, so if you bought a 5090 that would last the longest. Otherwise theres 4090 with 24gb or upcoming 50xx supers For cpus theres a trap of getting an 8 core cpu which is terrible for multicore. Zen 6 cpu where 1 ccd has 12 cores + large amount of l3 cache would fare better.Ram is another problematic thing, youd want 64gb for long term but its so expensive.Psu, nvme, coolers, case are less problematic since theyre either reliable, dont impact perf or are cheap
>>109147962That only works if you're black
>>109147962>Didn't your shithole decriminalise theft?Pretty sure that happened in 'Murrica. In EU theft is only decriminalized for members of organized crime groups they imported from Africa and ME. Those are the ones that famously get no punishment for wasting men and raping women and EU cucks then proceed to larp as merciful as if they have a say in what desicion the bribed judge will rule out.Shit, world is kinda complicated these days. But was it simpler before?
>>109148010I'm not talking about vrams. I'm talking about failing components.
I was going to buy a Steam Machine, but Gaben shafted me with the wait list. My current PC is an ancient AM3+ (FX 9590 and RX 6600) machine I built ten years ago and upgraded about five years ago, so I really need a new one and waiting a year isn't going to cut it.I have some DDR4 I bought providentially before the RAM crisis. If I build around a 5800X3D and a 9070XT will I be good for another decade? Mostly for 1080p, I don't even have a 4K display right now.
there was a used 9070 xt going for 799 canuck bucks last week and I didn't buy it
>>109143809>>109143813the poorfag solution is an android tv box
>>109148041Your most likely failure would be 1 not maintaining thermal paste or putty on cpu/gpuMobo it perhaps the most likely to have a random failure somewhereOtherwise each individual component that doesnt have some big manufacturing flaw would have a 1-2% chance to fail in the first 5-8 years. Silicon itself is unlikely to fail unless theres a software bug that pushes too much volts.
>>109147976No. If you want it to last, get "cold" used hardware. Aim for 14-22nm. If it's consumer tier hardware, make sure you UNDERclock it to make it run cooler. Ideally pick something that was not ever overclocked and temp cycled a lot.Old hardware usually lasts decades. Newer will maybe last exactly one decade. But time will tell.
>>109148051There was a used PC with 128GB RAM, Ryzen 9 5950, 3090 with 2TB ssd that I did not buy last year for some ridiculously smol amount of money, don't even remember. Literally a maxed out AM4 rig.It was cheaper than the RAM alone today.

(b550/x570 are only worthwhile for the ram overclocking.) Or maybe something like a i7-12700k if you can get if for cheap.

>>109148763Not at all but you can tell these retards are just naysaying each other and constantly contradicting themselves, sprinkled with some diehard AMD haters.
>>109148603OpenRGB, and like other anon said, you want to fully disable that shit. Those RGB can heat up the sticks, and the DDR5 is sensitive to temps, high temps can cause instability if you have low tRFC/high tREFI
>>109148761>do you really need a new case when you are on a budget? Can't you just recycle an old one?I would get rid of my current build altogether and sell it to a friend on the cheap>you could save some shekels by buying slower cl36, since you aren't doing ai anywaysI just checked and there is currently 6000/36 ram for 100€ cheaper, so yeah when i pull the trigger i will be checking other speeds, this was more to get me an idea of where i stood>ssd looks kinda slowthats good info, i have no idea, i just set up a parametric on pcpp for the cheapest 4.0 nvmeThank you anonIf anybody else can chime in it would be greatly appreciated.
Im really REALLY glad i bought DDR4 64gb of ram before all this shit going worse
>>109148811Same, twin.
>>109148811People called me retarded for getting a 96GB kit for $280 a few years ago.Now people are FOMOing over 64gb.I rather have enjoyed "sensible" builders just get fucked.They all the same same shit>I don't NEED 64GB of RAM>I don't NEED 10TB+ of SSDs>I don't NEED 50TB+ of HDDsYou're already building a PC why are you trying to be sensible about it?Fucking Reddit brained nonsense the last 10 years
>>109148591you maybe want an x3D cpu for gaming
>>109148895>you maybe want an x3D cpu for gamingOut of my depth here but it is my understanding those mainly help with online games and autism simulators/builders with big ass worlds?I just play Single player slop, movie games, action 3d, survival horror,rpgs, etcBut to my layman understanding an x3d wouldnt help me that much with those.And a 7800x3d is like 130€, even a 7500x3d is like 50€ over the 9600xWorth a think about anyhow.Thank you
>>109148857yeah I learned that lesson years ago when I got told "i5 is enough for gaming" and believed them. These faggots never think of the future at all. I learned my lesson.
>>109148857>I don't NEED 10TB+ of SSDsBased. Anyone who told me "you don't need that much space" when I got my 8TB gen4 nvmes a year ago can suck it.
The only thing i regret is Choosing Ryzen 5700x instead 5700x3d.Oh well.
>>109148924>I just play Single player slop, movie games, action 3d, survival horror,rpgs, etcThere's two main things a X3D CPU will do for you here.1. Vastly better 1% lows on your FPS.2. Vastly better latency. (more accurate character movement).While you're right, they do help online games more. They are still a huge advantage for single player games as well.
>>109148591Get the 9070 XT over the 5070 if it's an 80€ difference.Treat this PC as the last one you can afford to build.
>>109148993There is no such thing as enough storage.
>>109148857>>109148993>>109148811It's mostly those retarded tech tubers/tech sites. One site in my country is doing monthly builds list for various budgets. Even for the 3k or even 4k builds they wouldn't put more than 32 GB RAM, and they and their fanboys would retaliate with>BUT WHY YOU NEED MORE??>ENJOY PAIN MORE FOR NOTHING LOLetc.Obviously it's not only problem with those, it was mentioned many times that when you look at their actual PCs they look nothing like those they "recommend", sometimes it's exact reverse evenIronically, they started to put more RAM into those builds after the prices went insane, kekt. bought 64 GB RAM DDR5 6000Cl30 for around 200 USD
>>109148857Yes people are fucking retarded. The favorite thing to do here for years has been recommending saving 20-30 bux by getting an inferior PSU that barely handles the system.As if anyone even remembered or felt that saved pocket change even a week later.I got myself a 1500W PSU and I'll never need to upgrade it as long as it runs.The mentality of "You don't need that bro" is so god damn stupid.Mid range is a trap that will force you to upgrade more often and becomes more costly in the long run and with worse user experience.
Jewfus sez nand prices are never coming backLenovo sez its the new normalits over
I feel like building a PC for fun, and am just going to sell it.Should I do a classy looking low profile build with nice wood accents?Or should I build a gaudy RBG vomit fest with lots of flashing lights, a fish tank case, neon colors?
>>109149062>>109149062>Treat this PC as the last one you can afford to build.Yeah this is what is moving me to build a whole computer instead of just slapping a new GPU on my current rig and truck on, i do believe darker times are ahead.>>109149004>While you're right, they do help online games more. They are still a huge advantage for single player games as well.I'll keep it in mind but i fear that in the best case it would be a 7500x3d, the 7800 seems out of reach right nowIt is what it is
>>109149087Any new Jewfus memes?
>>109149090i feel fish tank flashing lights would sell faster.
>>109149094>in the best case it would be a 7500x3dThat's honestly fine. CPU technology is way more advanced GPU technology. Your GPU is going to bottle neck your build way more than the CPU. You would need to hit like 380 FPS in 1080p to throttle a 7500X3D. Which you're not going to do unless you put everything on lowest of low settings.The only way an older X3D CPU will hurt you is if you do workload related stuff, such as video editing or large file photoshops.
>>109149106idk I haven't been watching since the consumer hardware halted to a stand still and i didnt buyed in tme and now im poor and priced outits over
you know its bad when you can smell the heat coming off your gpu
>>109149215I stopped trying to play any games at all and my TV overheated so I had to turn it off
>>109149062>9070 XT
>>109148455at 1440p? M at 4k?performance + L depending on the game

Guys please help me because I'm going crazy. TLDR: I'm trying to perform a clean install of windows 11 but after the first reboot of the installation I'm stuck in the bios and it won't load the SSD nor the USB drive to try and reinstall it again.I originally ran into a Windows activation issue and, after troubleshooting, decided to perform a clean install of Windows 11 (also to reorganize my disk partitions). My system is:>Motherboard: Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4>CPU: Intel (12th gen platform)>SSD: WD Black SN770 2TB NVMeWhat I did:>Created Windows 11 USB using Microsoft Media Creation Tool>Tried multiple USB sticks (SanDisk 32GB + another USB drive)>Created USB from both Windows 11 and Windows 10 PCs>BIOS settings:>CSM: Disabled>Secure Boot: Enabled (deployed mode, cannot be modified)>Boot mode is UEFI only>USB is detected correctly as “UEFI: [USB name], Partition 1”When I select the USB from the boot menu the screen goes black for 1 second, then immediately returns to BIOS / boot menu. No Windows installer ever starts.Things already tried:>Recreated USB multiple times (Media Creation Tool)>Changed USB ports (rear USB 2.0 and USB 3.0)>Reset BIOS to defaults>Power drain (held power button with PSU unplugged)>Verified EFI folder exists on USB (bootx64.efi is present)The system always detects the USB in UEFI mode, but refuses to boot it and returns instantly to BIOS without error messages. I have no idea how to fix this. The computer has run without an issue since 2023, I just had to update the BIOS to the version F34 a week ago but everything went smooth until it started telling me the license was not activated because "error 0xC004F211 hardware change detected". What do I do now?
>>109148289Those are actually 0GB sticks.
>>109143895dgaf it was $1200 + tax Christmas special
good goy
