buy a 9070xt
>>109289705I will, it's an great card.
>>109289705I already have a 9070 non-XT dough.
>>109289803buy a bios flasher and make it a 9070xt dough
>>109289811you do it through software
>>109289705still less compute units than the 7900XTX
do not upgrade your gpulast good games were made over a decade ago there's no point in upgrading

>>109289963>not black and mildsshieeeeeeeeet
If your BIOS is set to show the POST screen but you get a black screen until the OS loads, scale back your CPU overclock or undervolt.Low-frequency voltage instability can cause the Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) handshake to fail during early boot, the usual stress tests won't catch this.Once the OS starts loading, its graphics driver re-initializes the PCIe link, bringing the display back.An unstable memory overclock (specifically memory controller desync) can also cause this behavior.
from the last thread, people complaining/waning about the Nitro+ 9070xt connector, I looked into it out of curiosityIt seems that the solution is to use the 12v cable inlcuded on the PSU, and not the one in the card, since its not divided, and that basically fixes any possible issues, so farIF, im wrong please tell me why, for future reference, as I said im curious
>>109290187If you're considering a 9070 XT, I'd get the Red Devil over the Nitro+ because it spares you that power connector bullshit.Build quality is top tier, Gamers Nexus Steve wanted PowerColor to set a more aggressive default fan curve because it Red Devil's card length (352 mm with bracket) could cause case fitment issues.These guys both limit their gaming GPU warranties to two years, btw.>But Red Devil costs $850You're past the point of financial responsibility if you're considering the Nitro+.https://www.powercolor.com/product-detail210.htmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1-rWNgZKRU
>>109290236the mercury oc is better, bigger heatsink
>>109290187It's always best practice to use the cables that came with your PSU instead of third party alternatives.But even if you use genuine first party cables you still need to ensure they are totally fully plugged in just the slightest sag will cause issues
>>109290236>You're past the point of financial responsibility if you're considering the Nitro+.its red devil is 40-50% more expensive than the Nitro+, at least here, if even available
>>109290236>because it*because it was running rather quietly & left plenty of boost clock headroom @ stock settings.XFX Quicksilver or PowerColor Hellhound are more reasonably priced 9070 XT that I would consider buying.
Keep using Windows 10 with ESU or upgrade to W11?
>>109290187You'd kinda an idiot in the first place if you get a 9070XT, desu.It's like $800, can only really run old games well and there's nothing new out right now that's even worth playing.You should just get a last gen card and use that and wait for AMD/Nvidia to release something actually worth buying once games worth playing are out.It's like you're buying a new GPU for what? Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remaster?
>>109290257IDK where you're from, but the Mercury OC @ $760 is the one to get in the US.Regarding that Nitro+, all those guys with burnt up power connectors fell for the "it won't happen to me" memes.
>>109290281the are 650 to 700 here
Red Devil 9070 XT is currently discounted to under $725 in the Amazon US btw, 89% claimed.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWD7DNTB
>>109290289Pre tax?
>>109290311after
>>109290253The cables that come with the GPU aren’t third party. If AMD can’t include cables that won’t start a house fire then trusting any one of a dozen PSU companies is also out of the question. The problem is with the card and the connector, not random party designations of the cables.
>>109290283fair, I might actually just get the sapphire pulse and call it a day, and there's other's in the same price range im looking into, I went Nitro+ because, its among the cheapest here, maybe because availability I assume, but didnt knew about the connector stuff, might as well try to avoid possible bs
>>109290276HDR gamers should use Windows 11.
>>109290333
>>109290353It's about your risk tolerance.There should be lower risk of the power connector causing issues if you pair it with a good PSU and set it all up properly (on both ends of the power cable).If the Nitro+ is sold at a good deal, it's something to consider.Undervolting the GPU also lowers the risk of the connector melting because the GPU needs less power and draws less current through the power cable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naBqsSfGX3AYou can set a 280~300W power limit and retain most of the stock performance with a proper undervolt + OC.
hmmmm i cant help but notice the lack of a 9950x3d2 and a blackwell 6000 in the op.
>>109290341You are a stupid fuck. You see those people with RGB cables in their rig? Those aren't first party
Where is the AX1000 thermaltake?
>>109290542phanteks made new enthoos, they're better than that
>>109290548Noe enough rad spaces
>>109290542Just buy a cabinet from IKEA and put your components in that.
If I have a top tier X370 chipset motherboard, flash the BIOS, and just slam in a 5800X3D 10th edition, would I suffer any major performance loss? I currently have an R7-1800X. Same with my cooler. It's a Be Quiet Shadow Rock 3 single tower rated for 150w tdp if i'm not mistaken. That should be enough for a bone stock clocked newer CPU right? I know the platform has pcie 3.0 instead of 4.0 or 5.0 but I don't think in real world use that's a huge drop even I'm upgrading to a 16GB 9060 XT.I game at 1440p and intend to get another 2 1080p side monitors. Motherboard is an Asus Crosshair ROG Hero Wi-Fi. Pic related.
>>109290755no, do it, tune the cpu so it uses less voltage and limit it's ppt to 100w
>>109290400I see thankshere's the other 9070xt in the same price range of my budget>Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT PULSE>ASUS AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Prime OC> Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC>XFX AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Triple Fan Gaming Edition>Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING (nitro+)>ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (challenger)in price low to high, the rest start jumping a lot, at least on this storehttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/dC2ZQythe rest of the stuffany suggestions would be appreciated
>>109290879well, nitro+ and the prime are the premium models out of those, nitro+ has the nvidia connectorhow much more expensive is the mercury oc or the red devil? Id get the mercury oc if the case was big enough and the price not too high
>>109290908>mercury ocjumps in prize, and import only>red devil same and only available on importI did find the "reaper" at the same prize as the Nitro+
>>109289699The best part about this case is the 180 exhaust fan, I've long suspected that a measly 140 fan is insufficient for exhaust when you've got 5+ intake.
>>109291482Maybe, but air is still going to find its way out of the case either way in a 5 intake setup.
>>109291380Reaper is the budget brand for power color I don't recommend it as it's pretty loud and people have reported coil whine. Out of your list the best is the pulse imo follows by the nitro if you're willing to go 12v.
>>109291514My tard thinking is, the faster I can get the hot air out the faster I can get cool air in and the faster I can feed my components cooler air and keep them lower temp.
>>109289904No thanks I'll be buying my 192CU 10090XTX to pair with my 24 core 10950X3D2 next year.
>>109291380I'd get the prime out of those then
Swapping my PSU out for a new one tomorrow and I'm hoping I don't have to remove all the other components in order to do it. My PC case encloses the PSU for some reason so I can't just unplug leads + pull the old PSU out + put the new PSU in + connect leads again. Probably will be a total ballache but oh well. Anyway thanks for reading my blog.
>>109289699If only it had a metal side panel, wheels or the option to install office chair casters, more USB sockets in the front I/O panel and could take a ALF3 420 rad in top like my superior ProArt PA602. But it's probably cheaper without wood and Asus tax.
>>109291482If you have a radiator in top with 3x120mm or even 3x140mm fans you don't need more than a 140 in the rear. What you don't want in a case is negative pressure.
do you really need noctua memepads when duct taping 92mm fans onto some dying gpu heatsink? I'm thinking I shan't be paying $10 extra for a bunch of foam
>>109291539AMDelusional
>>109291611for context the cheapo made in china builtin fans started failing and rattling, and just trying to unscrew them their (proprietary btw) connector got shreded, they're just not worth the copper to solder it back
>>109290879Nitro+ is worth buying if the price difference isn't that big from the ASUS Prime or the Sapphire Pulse.You're going to want to undervolt the Prime or the Pulse anyway, they might run a bit loud to your liking at stock settings.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP0axVHdP-UYou might as well get the Nitro+ if you're confident about setting it up properly (300W power limit, undervolt + OC)..It's important to leave some slack at both ends of the 12V-2x6 cable, do not bend the cable tightly right at the connector.
Ship my fucking package Amazon
>>109291627Mad
>>109289662Where do I find PC cases with HDD bays?I need room for 4 HDDs and 2 SATA SSDs
>>109291888any eshop worth a damn should have filtering for this
>>109291627>AMDelusionalWhy, because I'm gonna buy the AMD halo products. Would you say the same shit if I talked about buying the 32gb 6090 and the 52(((core))) Intel nova lake?
I bought some "PTM7950" from Aliexpress and I'm going to use it. What can I expect?
Why the fuck is used 7700k like 100 merkelshekels?
>>109291971fastest windows 7 cpu if you put it in an old 6th gen intel motherboard
>>109291971Just buy a 7700X or 7700X3D.
>>109291976Update your malwareOS winfags, I want cheap old shit.
>>109292010buy a cheap am4 system. those are dirt cheap.
>>109291695I find it hilarious that people are afraid of the 12v-2x6 connector when the GPU doesn't even come close to 500w. The only small issue I see with the Nitro+ is that you have to awkwardly bend the cable sidewards but there seems to be enough room for this to not be a problem.
>>109292010People are going back to 7 because 10 and 11 are hot garbage.
>>109291638does the GPU still work without the pins being connected?assuming you are just going to plug the fans onto the mobo as a case fan and just using fan control to set the fans to cool using the GPU temps.
>>109291482This can be put on top of the GPU on motherboards where the GPU is mounted lower.
>>109292018I have an old am4 board but it's fucky and only has 2 RAM slots so I'd have to get another one. I don't want to invest shit into old secondary case, I just wanted to throw that 7700k on the Intel board since the 6600k it's using now is apparently holding back the 9060 XT.
>>109292094there are people selling r5 3600, mobo + ram combos for under 165 bux
they should make custom gpu heatsink again like they did 10 years ago

Why is the 5080 so god damn expensive? It's not like they are selling out either. Local Microcenter has 25+ of the same SKU.
>>109292110Yeah but I wanted to throw like 20-30 bux on the 7700k.
>>109292287Because Nvidia wants people to get used to the 80 GPUs being priced at $1k+, I'll be surprised if the 6080 isn't $1200 MSRP

>>109292339That place is nothing but underaged spamming indie garbage
>>109292287Basically a perfect gb203, one off from being put into the higher level workstation cards. Unlike the 5070ti which significantly flawed. Same with the 5090 basically being a trash die that didn't make it into the workstation cards.My 5080 is great and runs at basically room temperature and 40% power even when gaming. Sure i could crank up the frames past 60 but why even bother when I can cruise at 38 degrees and pull 130w on a hot summer's day.
I'm waiting for Nova Lake~
>>109292287the 5080 is a tranny faggot gpu that will never be a real 80 classit's basically a 5070ti if the 5070ti didn't exist
>>109292392So what is the 5070ti then?
>>109292429it's a 60ti/ 70 class gpu
>>1092924299070xt eco mode
>>109292438>classIt's gb203 doh.
>>109292392Based. 5090, 4090, 4080ti, 3090ti, 3090, 3080ti and 3080 are the only NVIDIA GPUs worth buying.
>>109292457not enough cuda coresnot enough memorynot enough memory buslast real 80 class was the 3080
>>109292470What class is the 1080ti compared to the 4090?To be fair the gb203 die is a mobile gpu.
>the gpu I want for my built sold out at my seller of choice>It's 50-70 more at the other optionsaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>109292491
>>109292429A gpu for fujos like me.
Is the Nvidia tax worth it like the Apple tax?
>>109292539the apple tax isn't wprth it.
>>109292539Only if you are into 3d art rendering, local llms and if you think that a switch 2 emulator is ever going to come out.
>>109292539Not anymore.$1000 for a 5070 Ti is taking the piss.Get your company/employer to procure an NVIDIA card for you if you genuinely need one.
>>109292519What a retarded graph.>>109292533Based.
>>1092920468.1 mogs
>>109292584your gpu sucks >>109292519
>>109292519GPU performance isn't measured in pure CUDA cores any more though. Tensor cores are becoming increasingly important.
>>109291718>>109291924Difference is the 6090 will actually launch and compete (win)the other product won'tThe COPE must go ooooooN wooooo-oooaaaa-aaah
>>109292612still won't make the 5080 a real 80 class gpu.
>>109292622>You can't ever advance beyond CUDA cores, because even if you're running games better and with better visuals, I just care about CUDA cores for some reason???
>>109292021because it has burned up on lower cards plenty too>>109292539Only on the 90 seriesIf you boughted the Dip, your 5090 increased twice in price from then to nowwhich means you earned money and will be able to sell at a profit or same price, as again, which I saidthe 5090 was the best price performance gpu because it was the only gpu that earns you money, againall which I said before and came true
>>109292595NVIDIA had no reason to offer better -80 tier GeForce cards when AMD didn't offer any competition this generation.
>>109292630they sold you a gpu for over 1000 bux that would have been a 70 class gpu a few generation ago. stop coping pls.
i think it's time i get a new chairany recommendations that are reasonably affordable?
>>109292644Because people still buy it.
>>109292655still doesn't make it a real 80 class gpu >>109292519
>>109292644I care more for how it compares in FPS uplift when running modern games with modern features. because that's what I'm buying a GPU for.
>>109292681>>109292669
>>109292669Still sold well, partly because AMD decided not to develop a costlier gaming GPU.These companies plan product stacks 3~4 generations in advance.NVIDIA knows they can afford to sell some underwhelming GeForce cards here and there.Because the competition allows them.
>>109292689>>109292669
>>109292694You shouldn't be playing this little game when AMD officially admitted the 7900 XTX isn't a real "-900 class" GPU that would compete against a GeForce -90 series card.

I already bought a 4tb one a couple months ago when it was cheaperAlso I have a 9800x3d and looking for a motherboard, I'd like at least 4nvme slots and as much sata as possible and a real debug display but not pay insane pricing. Would love the features of Asrock x870e nova WiFi, is the burning thing still an issue? Can I safely get this? The other board I can get is an MSI B850MPower M-ATX but it only has 2 sata ports... But i have 8000mhz ddr5 on hand and this board is specifically for mem OC. Last consideration is I would like an Arctic Liquid freezer cooler and the smallest case that seems to fit that is a Coolermastee MasterFrame 400 which is almost ATX sized anyway.

>>109289662My 5 year old R5 3600X/RX5700xt build is starting to get WHEA 18 cache hierarchy errors for random games, even indieshit made in Unity, which I can't really fix by tweaking the memory speeds or voltages, while corecycler or memtest didn't find any issue. At this point I don't really want to go AM5 yet until the memory shortage gets sorted in half a decade or so, so I'm wondering if upgrading to a 5700x3D/RX9070 (not XT) for around 1k USD is worth it at this time.
>>109292392I hope the schizo shit about "class of gpu" ended alreadyThe names for the gpus are just quick marketing term to tell the audience xx90 is best, xx80 2nd best, xx50 is low end. It conveys info quickly, thats why amd switched their naming to imitate nvidia with 9070, its a boon for the consumer.After ampere gen nvidia made the 90 card have much bigger die because they figured people would buy a 2k € gpu just for the fun of it. The relative amount of cores between 90 and 80 card in the previous gen with different sized die's has nothing to do with the new gen. Thats why 5080 is 50% better than 3090. So in short its a talking point for low iq tards.
>>109293309now compare 4080 performance to 5080 retard >>109292639

>>109293309You're a shit eater and the reason for the current GPU market.
>>109293622No one individual control global market trendsAI boom is the thing that influences us the most rn, and chip making hitting physical limits.Theres no need for us to worry about them since theres no way to influence anything.
>>109293309>malding over "name schizo">fails to understand what was actually being discussedmany such cases
>>109293645Well yeah. The discussion really is about how CUDA and raster in general is growing less important compared to tensor, DLSS and RT, and how that reflects in top-end GPUs. But this guy still think it's 2020 and people are just playing games as Raster-only.
>>109293702i'm talking about you though
>>109293710Well, you aren't because I'm NTA you replied to.
>>109293702For amd upscaling and rt defined the entire gen since they were so bad before 9070 launched.For nvidia it was about transformer model and mfg, since those are the areas most improved from previous gens.For 60xx key feature needs to be better path tracing perf or we'll never see it being mainstream
>>109293702>raster in general is growing less important compared to tensorso that is why tensor cores account for like nothing in the gpu still compared to cuda cores?
>>109293079There is a 0% chance what you ordered was legit
>>109293777Don't know why people order on AliExpress when the thermal grizzly ptm sheet is $13 and you know it's the real thing
>>109293702Ackshually, other than BVH acceleration, the same hardware features that improves RT/PT also improves raster performance
Should I upgrade my monitor if it's 9 years old? It's a 4k TN Panel with first-gen QLED marketing. My choice is either to ship this to my new place for ~$80 or buy a new monitor entirely when I get there.
>>109294018monitors have gotten a lot better in the last 5 years with glossy qdoleds becoming widely available at affordable pricesbut, since you're on 4k, you'd have to wait since upcoming 5th gen qdoleds with the traditional RGB subpixels haven't been launched yet
>>109293118Depends what you do.>>109293593Have you got evidence for this?If so I'll get the asrock, otherwise MSI.>>109293407What's your oc settings in bios?
so, I don't trust TV manufacturers, I think they ship updates that make them fail/die like Apple does to their phones and notebooks.I'm thinking, maybe I should have a minipc that handles all streaming apps and block the TV from ever accessing the internet.I know that linux doesn't handle DRM content yet, so how do I go about doing it? Maybe a chromebook minipc? Those have widevine L1.
>>109294145it does though.
>>109294147how many hoops you have to jump through to get it to work? linux is always the best option so it might be worth it
So from people recommendations and the benchmarks I looked upSapphire N+ > Asus Prime > Sapphire PulseI might just grab the Prime oc because dual bios, doesn't seem to be that much difference in terms of fps even in 4k, unless im ignoring something
>>109294145I have an LG OLED TV and an Apple TV. I watch everything on the Apple TV and the LG isn't even connected to the Internet.
>>109294195yeah but we can do better than a low power arm device, can't we? imagine a wildcat lake device with linux and widevine l1, should be pretty beastly for the use case

>>109294166Have you checked out this https://www.techspot.com/review/3015-amd-radeon-9070-xt-roundup/I would not expect Asus to honor any warranty but otherwise from your listSapphire is good with warranty but they took 6 weeks to fulfill mine. I like the nitro+ But I'd avoid anything with the 12v high failure connector so I avoided that.From your list I'd get the pulse as the noise normalised temps are slightly better than the prime but it is the worst performer.Powercolor hellhound cost me €550 has dual bios and uses PTM7950 and I'd personally recommend that one, the red devil has better cooling but its too largeAlso worth noting sapphire seem to come with 2x HDMI and 2x dp but power color GPUs have 3xdp and 1x hdmi
intel xe3p does not have VCC or AV2 decode, xe4 better have those
>>109294224Better in what sense? The Apple TV can play pretty much anything you throw at it. I think the only thing it struggles with is very heavy ASS typesetting.
>>109294407just not chugging ever and having good power efficiency, plus you could run more software than just streaming apps, like a browser or dumb 2d games
>>109294481>having good power efficiencyYeah, you're not gonna beat the Apple TV ever at that game. It consumes 2.5 watts when watching 4K HDR.>plus you could run more software than just streaming apps, like a browser or dumb 2d gamesI've never really wanted to run a browser on my TV when there's actual computers nearby. Not 2D games either, even though you could install RetroArch on it.

>>109294577>SepThat's pretty late in the year, I expect AMD to announce zen6 at CES and release it around may so Intel would be 4 months behind for a competitor to AMDs 24core top end version.
>>109295104Exactly. Intel had one job and they screwed it up20 and 24-core zen6's are gonna be horrendously priced for 6+ months until the 52C SKUs become available
>>10929510424 cores 48 threads vs 52 cores 52 threads btw, not having hyperthreading is very significant
>>109295119I wonder if this delay is because they chose to switch manufacturing to their own fabs instead of going with tsmc like originally planned. My guess is they won't have enough 18A capacity until late on the year which is why the delay is staggered.
>>109291695well yeah it's just the fan pinout, for now everything just works, one of the fans is just stuck at 100% PWM, and have I no easy way of fixing it, so I'm just looking to replace them the way you described
intel will only be relevant again when they drop ecores two generations from now, that's the realityboth intel and amd are going to have amazing last gen ddr5 machines, zen 7 and hammer lake are going to be really good ddr5 machines probably run at 9600mt/s at that point and on 1.4nm, it's going to be the time to upgrade, in 2029

>>109295242And for the temperatures? Oof.
>>109295437that image is from like day one of alder lakethere are no arguments left against E-cores anymore so you have to post the epic pajeet meme and hope you get some other fanboy to agree with you

>>109295450what's a genuine benefit of having e-cores on a desktop system? it seems counterproductive to have slower threads mixed in causing non-deterministic slowdowns when other programs are using your p-cores

>>109295503I'd assume the orange clown will try his very best to prevent it from popping cause he will be the one then who ruined the economy.
>>109295542until intel releases their 52-core novalake chips, all current e-core chips aren't really any better than amd's 2*8-core chips. they don't offer more threads than amd at the highend and don't bring any benefit. it feels more like a bandaid for intel's incompetence in designing a space efficient p-core that scales
>>109295548he's going to invade greenland so people don't talk about the ai bubble popping

Hello,last year (or 2024?) I bought myself a new PC after 10+ years and I was too greedy and bought a shitty motherboard that doesn't even have USB-C and now I also got a new case and realized that motherboard doesn't even support the USB-C connector from the new case.I am just some stupid normie doing casual programming, no gaming, nothing fancy. But sometimes USB-C would be neat. I need more ports. So I might want to get a new budget motherboard. I found this: MSI PRO B850-S Is this okay for 116€?hmm the scores look kinda bad, but I have no idea about hardware really https://pcspecchart.com/pc_parts/motherboard/303/It'd be nice if I could stick around max 150 bucks or something. Or is this impossible?Rn I have 1 m2 and 2 HDDs. One or two more HDDs might also be neat, not necessary tho
>>109295591the perfect cpu exists but intel doesn't want consumers to have it, so 10800x3d is what i'm waiting for
>>109295595this is the usbc connector to the case, are you sure your motherboard doesnt have it
>>109295508>what's a genuine benefit of having e-cores on a desktop system?When usage is low, you can just have shit running on E-cores for lower power draw / less heat. And when you have high load, you can still run background tasks on E-cores while the P-cores are slammed, since you have more cores. Which Ryzens have 18 or 24 cores in total?I'm personally gonna be pretty happy about having E-cores on my upcoming server build. They should do the trick when the server is at low loads, decreasing the amount of power I need to run it 24/7, and when there's a high load, the big increase in total amount of cores means that my other services still have room to run.
>>109295616I didn't knew it had hyperthreading, it is a good cpu after all, intel is just retarded
intel could re release raptor lake next on 7nm from 10nm (they have the intel 7 node and they only used it for servers) for ddr4 users and it would be a big upgrade and they would get a lot of praise and customers but intel just can't make good decisions
When is AMD adopting e-cores and why haven't they done it yet
>>109295620Yes, I am sure.And no, I have no idea why I bought this. Probably because it was cheap and had the correct socket
>>109295653those 2 nodes would have extremely different design rules and would require a complete reimplementation and create the lithography masks for that shrunk die, both of which are probitively expensive for a minor die shrink. if they had to do that, it'd make more sense to just implement a new uarch on the new node. what intel should have really done is to use lga1700 as the base for alderlake until arrowlake instead of moving to lga1851 after 2 generations.
>>109295658ok, that b850 looks good, don't see anything wrong with it
>>109295657wdym? amd has had e-cores since zen3 and have been using e-cores in their mobile parts since zen4. they simply dont use them in desktops because there's minimal benefit to the consumer
>my $2k desktop from late 2023 costs $4k now>random consoomer shit like ipad pro I bought last year is now 30% more expensive>ssd storage went to the moon>hdd storage almost double compared to 2024bro when does this shit end? I dont strictly need anything more right now but i cant remember computing devices appreciating in values barring bullshit like crypto scalping
>>109295665Thanks.
>>109295653raptor lake is intel 7 lolbut you're right, they aren't gonna do anythingand DDR4 XMP is extremely slow (as i've already shown /pcbg/ before), so they probably don't want to design new products for that market>>109295657they already have, steam machine has E-cores
>>109295667doesn't end the goal isn't to sell to consumers and if consumers really want or need it, they will buy it anyway. Maybe they won't buy what they wanted but they'll but what they can afford. Most probably wanted 64GB ram but will settle for 32GB if that's all they can afford.

https://x.com/harukaze5719/status/2077747756584906809I didn't knew you could pull 250w on a 5070, those temps look awful, my 9070xt never gets hotspots like those but I have it undervolted and power limited
I'm really really tempted to getting a 7800x3d and actually switching to am5 instead of getting the 5800x3d and using that 7800x3d + 9070xt on a living room steam machine in the future after I upgrade again in probably like 4 years, I just like how power efficient that cpu isthe big problem is how expensive ram is, really wish the chinese would scare off openai and anthropic once and for all

>>109296175I'm seeing $280 7800x3d's in my local facebook marketplace but nobody's bitingMost of the overpriced ram don't seem to be selling as well
>>109296069there's a certain point where heat doesn't leave the die fast enough which leads to massive hotspots. on my 5090, the delta edge/hotspot temps start from 12C at 560-640W to 16C at 680W to 20C at 720W, upwards to >30C at 800w250W on the 5070 is probably similar to running 700W on a 5090 based on the delta of about 18C>9070xt never gets hotspots like those you probably can't compare across vendors since the number of sensors, update frequency of sensors etc. could vary a lot

>>109296942The HAVN case doesn't come with RGB lighting so I'd pick that one
>>109296940Super cards still sound totally fake. The 5070ti/5080 die is tapped out, more memory means bigger bus and altered cache and Nvidia won't pay extra for the R&D for that.
>>109296979I'm going full Blackout and Meshify 3 has that option too.
>>109296942I've been a happy Fractal owner for many years, although the Meshify is a bit too ugly for my taste.
Zen6 2nm 2027RDNA5 2nm 2028
>>109296989the meshify 3 looks like it was designed around the RGB fans. Havn case just has some front that looks ok regardless. Price difference is probably what really should bothers you. Havn cases are quality and easy to handle but expensive and I don't know if the bf360 comes with pre installed fans. I haven't tried a fractal case yet so no idea but seems to be fine too given that a lot of anons like it.
>>109297041Zen6 on AM5 in 2027, enterprise stuff is rolling out this year.>inb4 who caresI want to see if we will finally get 12 core CCDs.

>>109297050>>109296997I guess i go HAVN BF 360 anyway since it can fit XFX Mercury and Meshify 3 can only fit Red Devil.

https://x.com/i/status/2077875673276797385It would kind of be cool if motherboard manufacturers started putting ads that popped up in your operating system. Maybe they could look at your hardware specifications and possibly recommend good upgrades or alert you when sales are going on.
>>109296942If you're planning to use an AIO, Meshify 3's top panel is limited to 280mm radiators.You're realistically limited to 280mm AIOs or you must get 240mm options over 360mm.>You can set a 360mm radiator to the front panelYou'll lose the good airflow characteristics of this case by doing this.This also restricts the GPU clearance.

>>109297077make sure the case has slots and the GPU holder works depending on how low your motherboards PCIe slots are. On my HAVN HS 420 I couldn't use the bottom PCIe slots cause there are no openings since my motherboard has them lower. The GPU holder barely works with my GPU cause of this.
>>109297079Asus already does this with armoury crate. If you have it enabled in your BIOS it will install malware on your next OS load hiddenly.
>>109297170Their higher end boards now have driver hub instead of armoury crate and the last time I had this it asked me instead of straight up installing something. Maybe older or cheaper boards still shove armoury crate in your face.
>>109297170>armoury crateLast year my brother-in-law ended up getting a pre-built that had Armoury Crate installed and asked me to remove it. Removing Armoury Crate actually caused Windows to blue screen. I had to reinstall the program and go through a really obtuse way to uninstall it so it didn't make Windows blue screen anymore.
>>109289705okay, daddy.
https://x.com/i/status/2078027675340243265I can't help but feel like we contributed to this games downfall.
>>109297193The only real way to remove armory crate is to fully reinstall your windows from scratch. In notebooks you can use g-helper if you really need its functionality. Thankfully Asus started to do individual programs now for their components
>>109297209Limited time game modes are nothing new in online games. If you weren't there when Skeleton King turned into Wraith King in Dota 2 you missed out on a whole PvE game mode.
>>109297077>>109297094>>109297155Also now that i think about it. Meshify 3 XL has 3x front fans (140mm?) and can have 3x side front (140mm?) fans so you could pump top AIO in to it have and really good airflow pressure.I think that case can have 420mm AIO.
>>109294568Linux works with E-cores better than Windows though
>>109294862Wrong, that's misinformation. What will actually happen is that both P-cores and E-cores will have the same architecture. Intel won't give up on bigLITTLE by this point.
>>109297078kek amd have got to change their naming scheme for retardna5
>>109297239I'd check if you can use front and side fans and what the suggested direction is. In theory the side can be used for an AIO as alternative to the top
>>109297266Linux in general handles newer CPUs better they have x86v4 support. Windows is x86v2.
WE GOT SOME NOVA LAKE LAUNCH DATES SEPTEMBER 2027 FOR THE FLAGSHIP
>>109297612Can't wait to move to Nova Lake and finally have instant mouse clicks never falling for the AMD meme again.
>>109297299It can fit 140mm fans in every single direction. The 420mm AIO fits top. I think this would be a great really overkill air pressure for 9800x3d.
>>109297618It's still amazing intel fucked their base, one of the most loyal ones out there so hard with literal dying CPUs. So many literally would have stayed if they didn't fuck them over so hard for years.
>>109297628Intel is still widely used in esports PCs and not just for sponsorship reasons
>>109297623the one advantage the HAVN case has it that the rear/top fan won't be blocking your mainboard but that's about it.
damn the 1851 contact frame took my temps down by like 5-10c
>>109297653also Fractal only sells 3-packs with RGB while HAVN has non-RGB 3-packs
>>109297612Good. I won't feel bad about having just bought a CPU.
>>109297705I can't remember if those havn fans were considered good though. The fractal fans were considered pretty good other than the controller requirement
>>109297239Meshify 3 XL is comically large, it's a furniture.
>>109297612tfw just got a 250k plus but will probably buy this too
>>109297183Still annoying. Not all the required stuff can be downloaded manually. You're pretty much forced to install Driver Hub.Will inevitably cause problems in the future.
>>109297755>just got a 250k plusOh hey, me too.
>>109297738Yeah it's like an Shrine built for PC.
>>109297759>Not all the required stuff can be downloaded manuallyReally? For me everything shows up on the Asus help desk. It was actually the opposite for me when I used it for a month or two where it would suggest me some drivers I didn't need
>>109297778how's it working out for you? I'm quite happy with it honestly, but i wish i got the contact frame immediately
>>109297789It's still in the box because I'm waiting on a motherboard, PSU and cooling, so it's not working much for me yet.
>>109297786Yeah, last reinstall I did a few months back I couldn't find everything I needed. I'm not totally against it as it's better than the full monstrosity of Armory Crate but it's still annoying that they don't provide everything as a manual download.
>>109297147>if truethey got canceled when the rampocalypse barely started what makes you think they will return when the situation became even worse?

>>109297933UK.Hopefully it's not still like that now. This shit is really basic stuff.
>>109297612>just got a 285kwell, the nice part of living near a micro center is that I can get a mobo/cpu, but man.
>>109297612I did not expect some of these launching in late 2027 fucking hell
god these glossy oled screens were a mistake can only use them in fucking pitch black

>>109298162no>>109298180qdoled were always true RGBwoled RGB ccoming soonbut i guess you are referrign to rgb stripe subpixles which thosoe monitrs ar errelasing soon both in woled and qdoled
>ASRock X670E Steel LegendWorst purchase of my life. The most unstable piece of shit I ever owned.
>>109292519doesn't gamernexus have a hate boner for Nvidia for (totally not irrational) reasons?
>>109298407>AMD CPU>AsRock mobo>Stability lol pick 2
>>109298420What manufacturer I should choose for my next motherboard upgrade? I want to get next gen AMD CPU when it will come out, originally I wanted to keep the motherboard, but I doubt this garbage can survive long enough.
>>109298475Drop $400 on some upper mid range MSI board like Carbon Wifi and you never ever have to think about your mobo again.
>>109293777You seem pretty confident, but the reports from people who compared aliexpress shit with the legit thing didn't find a measurable differencehttps://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1nb22qd/honeywell_does_manufacture_02mm_ptm7950_and_there/?show=original&screen_view_count=1

how to fix coil whine with home tools? there has to be a way, I think hardware space became so bitchmade after the crypto scam boom, back in the day people would glue the coils and fix it but nowadays everyone is afraid of touching their stuff because everything is so expensiveanyway coil whine should be fixable, the coil case just need to stuck and not move when the current flows through
>>109298058Buying an RTX 5090 with a low-paying job sounds like a disaster.
>>109298407I was recently motherboard-shopping, and considering how many people chimed in to say "DON'T BUY ASROCK!", I feel like buying ASRock is your own damn fault at this point.
>>109298475for the inital zen5 release it was something likemsi>gigabyte>asus>asrockfor the board refreshes it something likegigabyte>asus=msi>asrockthe MSI refreshes were quite disappointing honestly
>>109298675Undervolt & power limit the processor.Downclock the processor by 100~200 MHz if you're a coil whine schizo.
I'm gonna buy a 750w power supply tomorrow (:
>>109298777no fun in doing that
>>109298773I'd put gigabyte's and asus' refresh boards on the same levelThe only problem with Asus is that they refreshed way too late
>>109298803The price for a decent 850W PSU isn't far apart from 750W units in some regions.
>>109298849Then have fun gluing the chokes.
>>109298886I'm getting it used on fb marketplace for 100 cad. It's still in it's plastic wrapped boxI don't like paying taxes. Less is more (;
get a wireview pro 2 wired today
>>109298908that aio cable is really tight
>>109298962 not like it can fit any other way
>>109298966you could flip the radiator horizontally
wtf and just look at the cables
>>109298976cables too thick, interferes with other fans and the 5090
>>109295658You have a front panel IO connector that supports USBC, its just using the older form factor (it's the plug at the bottom of your mobo). The higher end Mobo's should have both headers for maximum compatibility.You can buy an adapter on aliexpress for like $2.It's also $2 on amazon + $5 shipping, which would ship much faster and you could return it maybe.But your shitty mobo only supports 5Gbps, and the b850 mobo supports 10Gbps (I think), but it has a 20Gbp usb-c connector on the back, so you should only use the back usb-c ports for ssd's (But 40Gbps usb4 connectors exist on higher end mobo's).You need a better mobo anyways if you have a higher end CPU (a CPU stronger than a 7600 NON X), since you might get throttled by the vrm (unlikely for gaming however, more for CPU intense tasks that push it to 100% on all cores).It's technically possible for you to attempt to cool the VRM's (the black chips around the cpu) with a DIY heatsink + laying the motherboard flat because there is nothing to secure it, but the vrm chips are placed around capacitors so it's extra annoying since you can't use a single heatsink. On aliexpress/amazon you can buy a bag of 1x1cm tiny heatsinks for like $10 (maybe it might have an adhesive that might hold, but I don't trust it). But honestly I would want a big heatsink, but it's impossible without pulling out power tools due the the capacitor locations.
Should I build a MFF pc or buy a x86 handheld for 4k switch emulation? Anyone with a ROG Ally X or similar can report how it handles 4k upscaling on Yuzu/Ryujinx on docked mode?
>>109298901I got a an a-tier 750w for $75 cad from newegg two months ago
>>109299138oh nice! that's really comfydid you watch some fun YouTube videos with it?
>>109298987what? mobo needs to be in the lowest position for both rear fans to fit
>>109299159it looks incredibly stupid. are those three fans not going to remove any air out of the system or what?
>Gigabyte Gaming OC for €725>Gigabyte Aorus for €790>XFX Mercury for €750>XFX Mercury OC for €875>Sapphire Nitro+ for €850Which 9070XT is the least bad deal and which one is the overall best out of these?
>>109299176get a hellhound
>>109299176best overall merc ocbest deal, idk, aorus?
>>109299168i feel hot air coming out of the exhaust fans aka they worksometimes things in life look stupid but still workwelcome to life
>>109299183Sold out or Nitro+ price
>>109299188jumping twenty times before turning on the pc also "works"doesn't mean that it has an effect on the pc turning on
>>109298305>qdoled were always true RGBu fookin wot m8
>>109299203i just told you that the specific thing i am doing does have an effect. i feel like i'm arguing with a woman
>>109299176seconding Powercolormy Reaper should be shitty judging by its dimensions but cooling is somehow just as good as that of obese cards
>>109299226>just one more fan
>>109296315> a thumbrestAre you deformed? Why would you need that?
>>109294195but the LG chink botnet will still attempt to phone home. every 5 seconds it re-scans wifi networks
>>109299260I guess it can have fun re-scanning the Wi-Fi networks then.
>>109295676But I stopped playing games in 1080p over 10 years ago.I'm playing in 1440p and 4k with RT/PT and all bells and whistes checked.What difference does the CPU make in this more realistic case?
>>109299260looks like the lesson is just to not buy smart displays everI bet the LG botnet is just industry standard behavior
>>109299176Nvm local store has Mercury OC for €775
>>109299218He's saying QD-OLED has Red Green and Blue subpixels vs. the white included in WOLED's.true RGB doesn't necessarily mean striped RGB layout.
Oh my God I love the map de_3dmark I can pwn so many noobs on it maybe today I will pwn enough noobs so I can raise my rank on the leaderboard from 3 to 1 hehe
>>109299087Anyone
>>109299346can you even run 4k switch on a handheld?
>>109299346You need a real PC for 4k at least a RX 7600XT or better
>>109299346emulation = needs a good cpu, wait for zen 6
