>>109558283yeah, the same OS that Nvidia never had issues with>>109558286I don't think I've had this yet, but I have Windows quick boot enabled which I guess could be causing similar problems
is it even worth buying 6000mt/s ram now when zen 6 will likely support up to 8000mt/s ram?
>>109558377Immagine buying anything in the next 3 years, anon...
>>109558395imagine thinking we're ever going back to the old way of life
hello, I hate POWER SW
>>109558377ram speed hardly matters on ryzen especially with x3d. its all about latency not bandwidth.
>my friend keeps asking if X or Y prebuilt is a good deal>e.g. $1500 CAD for a 14400f and 5060-tier pc>keep telling him to just buy a rtx 3080 pc for $1000>he replies that he's scared of used PCsam I the asshole or is he just being stupid? in my mind new PCs are fucking gay with current prices, so you may as well buy used and save 40-50%
IPS used to be the top tier when it came to viewing angles, now it's pure garbagenow imagine TN and VA
>>109558321Nvidia has 90% of the market which gives them preferential treatment from Microsoft, my biggest issue is windows forcing an old driver install when I already installed the latest version and fucking everything up. It's been a problem lately and it honestly makes me want to switch to Linux, of I weren't so lazy I'd already have switched but a few more months of this shit and I'll pick up whatever retard proof distro there is and switch over.
>>109558437just finding about this now good to know
>>109558444He's right, based on your post your friend is a normie and won't be able to replace/fix any issues he could run into with an old PC.
>>109557367I used cable matters ones in the past.I would try to use the native cables on your PSU if you can.I personally did get a custom modular cable made from MODDIY for my PSU. It really is 11 sata on a single strand that is quite long and there has been zero issues from the 3TB HGST HDDs to my surprise. The HDDs are rated for 0.8 amps from the 5v rail so can pull some but have been fine.
>>109558444it's healthy to be afraid of anything that's been touched by other p*oplethat said, used is a good idea in my opinion if the amount of money you save is enough to account for one or two parts needing to be replaced because there were hidden problems AND you know you have the patience to do some troubleshooting
>>109558452IPS has stagnated in progress completely while VA has caught up so now they're both equally as bad in viewing angles.
>>109558444He likely saw on Reddit that someone bought a used PC and then a day later it's in a bsod loop. Normies don't know how to fix this shit and start getting mad they spent possibly a grand or more on a brick.
>>109558469that IPS reminds me of when I looked at TNs before and when you switch angles certain parts of the image just completely dark out and you lose all ability to see anything, actual pure garbagenow we have the oled humiliation ritual instead
>>109558453Windows has no prefer treatment for Nvidia. It is DirectX vendor neutral. 26H1 for instance is not even supported on Nvidia.
Nvidia drivers still broken btw!
>>109558321Nvidia's massive CPU overhead on their driver seems like a bit of an issue to me?
>>109558521The Nvidia drivers are just not stable period. Blackwell is known as Black Screen.
>>109558488oled is fine if you buy one of the cheaper models for around $400 during a good sale and then simply replace it after 4 years if it's full on degraded at that point, then just repeat that process. and if it gets burn in or dies within the 3 year warranty then rma it.
I'm thinking about upgrading my poor old 2060 to probably 5060, maybe 5060 Ti 8GB (it's on discount), but it really makes me feel like I should also upgrade my old B450 motherboard to ones that support PCIe 4.0, thankfully I'm stuck on AM4 chipset (7 5700X3D) otherwise I would also had to fight urge of upgrading RAM to DDR5.By the way is 9060 XT 16GB worth it?As far as I remember it's definitely weaker.
so lets say ram comes down by 50% after the crisis ends in 2-3 years is saving a few hundred of dollars going to be worth waiting all that time?
>tfw boughted everything in April 2025I am good for nowAre there any good deals to be had currently on secondary stuff that is affected by low demand due to no one buying CPUs, RAM, GPUs, etc.Like how is the state of the monitor market or peripheral market at the moment? Cases, fans, etc.?
>>109558534I bought an entry level Samsung OLED and added the 5-year warranty for $50if/when my TV breaks in 3-4 years, and since they discontinue these models every year, they'll be forced to replace my TV with the newest version. in the meantime, the panel is actually pretty great and far better than any LED I've had
>>109558580the economy might go kaboom at the same timewhen the crisis ends, you might get crisis 2
>>109558580it's not just ram sticks but anything that uses flash. The whole PC build is inflated by the uprising.
Managed to convince a friend not to get an AMD card today. He was set on it, until he saw all the issues people have been having with them. Just told him to save up a bit and get a 5070Ti.Gotta look out for your bros.
>>109558618Nvidia is the one with driver issues though?
>>109558619Oh nah, that's only if you fuck up your PC or install fucking troonix or something retarded.
What am I doing that fails to attract any attention? I just need a human being to look this list over and tell me if it's suitable for a min-rack that will act as a data warehouse for market data. Actual work will be done on my desktop.
>>109558625Nvidia always had driver issues since Windows Vista it hasn't changed. Radeon never had these issues.
>>109558630 its pc building general thats focused on gaming or typical windows productivity apps. Theres no server rack experts
nvidia is the applefag brand
>>109558632Sorry, I don't have a 760, I'm more of a 5090 kinda guy.
>>109558630you'd be better off in >>109541042most people can barely piece together a gaming pc, so server-related stuff is a complete mystery
>>109558667>>109558637Thanks!
>>109558675there's a solid chance they'll ignore you too, but that's because 4chan fucking sucksI'd help you but my "server" is an old PC running Windows 11
>>109558625Not a lot of desktop troonix these days, and BigMacOS doesn't support most hardware. At best, you could install a troonix-like, like Linus or a BSD.
I replaced my bedroom TV with oled and now I'm soldhowever I've also heard mini leds are really good too, and excel in brightnessis there a good 39" ultrawide miniled, or do I just buy an alienware?
>>109558700Well, this retard is linking shit that effected the 700 series GPUs, so I figure he's still using shit like fucking Troonix.
>>109558702For pc use oled is ultimately the no compromise solutionyou get it all, no halo around mouse or near dark edges, super fast pixel response for gaming, you dont want mega bright screen that sits 70cm away from your eyes anyway so miniled benefit is less
>>109558619I CANT USE MY 5090 TO PLAY CS2 AT 1080P LOW?????????????? WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
>>109558580I can afford to go AM5 but I'm waitfagging out of spite now. I will wring every last drop of life out of my 5700X3D (undervolt makes it immortal), and even in the most blackpilled scenario where this ends up being the last CPU I ever own, then not a bad fate all things considered. If not, then I'll just upgrade when the performance value is there and not a second before. Something tells me I can out waitfag this clown show.
>waitfag ramblingsLmao
what if we haven't seen the worst of it yet?what if in 2027 all hell breaks loose and the prices of everything does a 2-3xlike even things like peripherals and monitors may see a catastrophic price increase
>>109558729long hauling it with the queen of AM4 isn't a bad strategy
>>109558534monitors are kinda boring to me I will buy a tv
>>109558763This can happen at any time. There a million things that could disrupt the supply. Hell imagine if China attacks Taiwan, you won't be able to afford anything for a decade, and that could theoretically happen any day.
>>109558763Other peripherals don't require the same high end fabs, not likely to be an issue. Monitors if anything will probably see downward price pressure due to lowered demand.
>>109558763then we'd play video games using geforce now for couple years
>>109558729Same with my 5800X3D but my second motherboard is half-dead now. The Long Wait™ hasn't even started and I'm already buying my third onePC components die in no time, so sooner or later you and me will own nothing anyway
>>109558763>what if it goes upconsider yourself lucky this is the worst of your problems
>>109558796Anything involving China-Taiwan won't happen until next year at the earliest, and it will be predicated by a military buildup that will be impossible to hide for weeks if not months in advance.
>>109558566Depends on the games you want to play. In the US, the 5060 Ti is the better option against the base 5060 because it's only a little bit more expensive but a lot faster. The 9600 XT is in between the 5060 and 5060 Ti in raw performance, but it's missing good support for features that made the 2060 usable for so long. There are workarounds, but it's hard to recommend an AMD card for those reasons. The 9600 XT 16 GB has more memory, which will be useful. I would say esports/PC focused games, 5060 Ti; console ports, 9600 XT 16 GB
>>109558816>Reports of military buildup are reliably proven>Sellers immediately jack up prices because they know supply is gonna get destroyed.Price increases will happen when an invasion becomes inevitable, not when it actually happens.
>>109558763I don't think much besides the chips themselves (logic, memory) will be supply constrained. But that's not letting up until projects like Musk's Terafab come online
>In order to match PS6/Next Xbox performance you'll need a RTX 5090https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo_1pgzHm5sMaster race bros... not like this
>>109558502On my 3060 windows never tried or forced install their own shitty driver, on my 9070xt I constantly have problems due to windows forcibly installing their own outdated driver.
>>109558900No one is buying next gen consoles or the 5090
>>109558900They're just fearmongering frauds; the cheapest Series fucking S officially costs $499.99.
is the AW3425DW still worth it or should I wait for the AW3426DW?
>>109558900what's wrong with this? the 5090 will be cheaper
>>109558801That sucks, the only times I had a mobo die on me in 20 years was when I did something stupid.
>>109558933That guy did something stupid by buying dodgy AM4 boards.
>>109558900The 5070 Ti will be fine for the first half of the generation. You can upgrade mid gen to a midrange card and be just fine for the rest of the gen
>>109558945They were both around $220, albeit ITXThe real problem is that all mobos that can still be bought new today are what I would consider dodgy
>>109558827There will be price increases then yes, but even a buildup of sufficient size is not a guaranteed invasion. After it happens is when you'll really feel it.
>he fell for the oled meme
>>109558973>The 5070 Ti will be fine for the first half of the generationAnd honestly so will the base 5070

Friendly reminder to warn all the old people in your life that Google search's ai is very low quality as of today Aug 14, 2026. This is the first time in a long time that quality of search is a reason to recommend avoiding Google.tldr you gotta use an app. Gemini Flash is smart, thankfully. idk if they offer free gemini flash, but totally avoid search. It's basically super bad now. very bad.qwen3, which is what Brave Search uses is much more intelligent, but Brave has rugpulled quality of their search ai before, and they could do it again.

I'm moving a boot drive from an old motherboard intel CPU to a new motherboard amd CPU. the windows activation clearly states, "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account". When I move this boot drive over my half-new computer should boot with windows?

>>109559839If the drive has bitlocker then it will ask for the bitlocker key. If it doesn't have bitlocker then it will boot but it may be act funky because youre supposed to clean install when switching CPU teams.

two questions1) what's a decent usb controller? my case came with two usb-3 connectors (+ another for a usb-c port) but my motherboard only has one of each type so i need to get a pcie card for the other usb 3 connector. friend says the vl805 is fine as far as controllers go and to stay away from renesas ones, just wondering if there are better ones without needing to spend 100-200+ bucks. won't be doing VR shit on those ports but they'll most likely both be used for data transfer. i saw a card with an 805 that also has a slot for sata power, what's that about?2) got a 9950X, should i upgrade to the X3D2 if it ever goes on sale or should i just say fuck it and only upgrade when zen 7 comes around? my build is technically 3 and a half years old (originally it had a 7950X) but due to very unfortunate circumstances i'll only get to use it now
>>109560569>>109560569oh...dammit should've gone for that since the startSO as long as that model is in the list>>109560213there should be no issues, right?>micronlol lmao, barely available or almost 30-50% more expensive, at least in my country,
>>109560213Wtf is up with that UI design? Requires an infinite amount of scrolling to get through the list
>>109560966You can get an adapter since both the front usb connectors on your mobo have the exact same pins. It's not like one connector has a higher speed than the other (it also depends on your mobo specs, the best speeds are gen 2x2 20Gbps and if your case usb connect can handle the extra speed, and if your storage device can handle the speed).Also the usbc port on the back of the mobo is usually the fastest for data transfer, since you can have usb4 which is impossible for front panel connectors ATM, at least as far as I know (the recent intel mobo's have thunderbolt, which share most features with usb4).>upgradeno it's not worth it. but no such thing as a bad product, only a bad price. by the way the IRS has basically declared that the depreciation of datacenter GPU's have gone from 4 years to 8 years. So, people should wait 8 years before upgrading becomes a good idea. There is a chance that your CPU will still be just as good as CPU's in 8 years, since technically there are CPU's that are 10 years old that can run cyberpunk at 60fps. Buy a CPU now and it will hit 120fps.
>>109561044>get an adapterthought about it and i even bought one buuut i'd rather not use it since i'll probably use all 4 ports at once (it's 4 usb-a ports split into 2 connectors and 1 usb-c one with its own connector)
>>109560328As I've said before corsair ram is an exercise in dumpster diving for mystery meat, one kit of the same SKU number could have micron chips, another have Samsung, another SK hynix etc, you never know as they just use whatever they have on hand that day and sell it as whatever model SKU they can match the speed and timings of. Only way to tell is to remove the heat spreader and look at the chips. I would change the ram but first if you have another board that you can check the ram is bad with I would do that first. I've found RAM rather fiddly and even ones on the QVL can have trouble postingI would stick to a hynix A-die for ryzen something likehttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/H9CZxr/teamgroup-t-create-expert-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-ctced532g6000hc30dc01And https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q7LdnQ/kingston-fury-beast-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-kf560c30bbek2-32Both run cool and have good heatspreaders, and are on the QVL of most MSI boards if you're an rgbfag then there's an rgb version of beast or theres teamgroup t-forceIf you really care about ram speeds get a 2 dimmer board like an MSI B850m power, a gigabyte b850m force (cheap) or a gigabyte tachyon (expensive). Though not 2 dimm boards any of the MSI tomahawk boards are very good for the price and come in both matx and atx. Asrock have good features for the price but idk maybe the CPU will die.Also the board and ram could both be dead, amazon accept returns and never check if its actually fucked or not so can often ship out those dead components as new to other buyers.
>>109561018it lets you search the whole listmuch better than having several pages
>>109561076so its not a bad idea to get refunds for BOTH just so I can gain time?Ill try that, and give a "these 2 particular components are a compatibility nightmare for everything else I have in my buld, need the money back so I can buy 2 better compatible things" explanation, never dealt with Amazon refunds before
>>109561076>>109561114also, thanks for the suggestions, was about to ask about the Kingston brand, that said the 5200 mhz is already like 10 bucks more expensive than the current ones I have, but again seems like a great option, and no I dont care about rgb, I got the corsair ones at the time due to availability and price, and well I got fucked kek
>>109561067technically you can get a usb hub, and why not get a usb4 hub since it's better, but not all usb4 hubs support gen2x2's full 20Gbps, so it may fallback to 10Gbps.Also you probably won't afford this and it's unrelated, but this is neat (before this, there was a chinese DIY thing last year where you need to print the PCB and get the chipset (probably from a dead mobo).https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/chipsets/amd-b650-expansion-cards-hit-retail-starting-at-usd199-add-four-m-2-pcie-4-0-slots-and-11-usb-ports-to-any-pc-with-a-pcie-slotUnfortunately you only get a single 20Gbps usb port, not great, but the m.2 slots are interesting (but if you fill all 4 slots you only get half the max speed of the gen4 nvme).
>>109561114its amazonyou don't need to give an explanation
>>109561161>technically you can get a usb hub, and why not get a usb4 hub since it's betteri don't care, i don't need even more ports i just want all the ones on my front i/o to work gdi
>>109561168what case/motherboard/adapter are we even talking about here
>>109561182corsair 7000Dicks up my ass airflowanus rog 870E-Ecard i want to get is a generic chink piece of shit with a vl805i already have a simple 2x usb3 header to 1x adapter/combiner but i'm not gonna use it
>>109561182>>109561233and before you ask yes, the usb-c port on the front will be in use at all times so no i'm not gonna do any 3.0+3.1 > single 3.1 header jank
>>109561114With amazon basically they will accept any return for almost any reason but its staffed by underpaid wagies who either don't know about hardware or don't care so your broken part will usually not get tested and just go back to the warehouse and they'll just put it back on the shelf it came from unless its obviously snapped in half or something or replaced with a bag of sand.I've had new motherboards that were clearly used with TIM smeared all over it one had an ssd with a clearly used windows install on it, but it was only the wifi card that was broken so i kept the drive and board, replaced the WiFi card. Worst is I've recently had a 28tb HDD that was $1000 that showed up in device manager as a 1tb drive, and someone had clearly swapped the sticker on it, they probably bought a 28tb one, swapped the sticker from a 1tb drive and returned that for a nice refund.Stick with fulfilled by amazon though so you can be sure you'll at least be able to return it. I don't like buying hardware on amazon anymore, there's way more return scams happening since the price increases. And local stores will often be more willing to help you solve the problem if you have hardware issues or help you with warranty battles (such as with Asus)
>>109561233Looking at these header splitters gives me a headacheThis seems like its just going to fry your motherboard when you plug two things inWhatever proper USB card with a 3.0 header is probably fine, you can also get versions that plug into an m.2 slot if you wantAnother way would be to get an adapter to convert from a usb 2.0 header to 3.0, and you would just have 2 ports that run at 2.0 speed, but at least it wouldn't take a pcie slot
>>109561281>Looking at these header splitters gives me a headache>This seems like its just going to fry your motherboard when you plug two things inyeah exactly>use two ports at 2.0 speedsgenuinely unacceptablemy main issue is that the card also needs to work under MacOS which is why i haven't ordered this shit yet
>>109561242your mobo has every port for your case, did you not notice this port that is angled?source:https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-7000d-airflow/4.htmlhttps://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x870e-e-gaming-wifi/
I am looking to upgrade from a 1050 Ti (4GB).The only problem is i have not been paying attention to any of the current trends and really im out of touch of hardware these days, is there anywhere i can go to learn about this or can anyone suggest an upgrade thats not stupid expensive?
>>109560998>lol lmao, barely available or almost 30-50% more expensive, at least in my country,micron ram chips are also found in every other ODM brands like kingston, g.skill, corsair, kingbank, lenovo, hp etc. They are a huge manufacturer of ram that supplies all sorts of companies ram
I refuse to buy AM4 shit but DDR5 RAM prices are making me delay upgrading my 6 YO pc..... what do?
>>109561333eat the cost of ddr5 and enjoy cheap ddr5 motherboards/cpus for now before those also get their price hikes
>>109561308actually went to double-check because i felt stupid and no, my bad, it's x670e-e not x870e-e
>>109561137Kingston good but pricey, easy to find out online what die you're gettingTeamgroup good and cheap, not always easy to find what die though, but I've never had an issue with thier kitsGskill good and you can buy specifically binned sticks too for the high end models, easy to find out what die you're getting but heatsinks are garbage and they don't put thermal pads on the PMICCorsair is shitty mystery meat avoid.You can find the die sometimes from motherboard QVLs or on reviews or OC forums. If your boards QVL doesnt have the die info the asrock QVL lists do, just check one for a random ddr5 motherboard of theirs until you find one with the memory model that you're interested in buying.Whatever you can get, as long as the heat spreader is good and you can find out what die it is (SK hynix a or m die) and it has a lifetime warranty its probably decent. As long as its not corsair the brand doesn't matter too much. lower voltage kits also help keep heat down. Avoid Samsung for ddr5 I've never had one that worked at EXPO/XMP speeds, that's if it even managed to boot at all. I reckon your corsair ram used Samsung chips.
>>109561318the cheapest upgrade is a used 1660 super / TI, easy 2x FPS improvement with 6gb. don't pay more than $100 (I got it for $100 CAD on facebook marketplace like 3 years ago, but it might have went up). But this thing will not handle 1440p, more like 1080p PLUS aggressive upscaling/steamdeck graphics.anything better you probably should upgrade your CPU if you haven't already (if it's AM4 it's probably salvageable).5060 TI / 9060 XT is decent for $350~, if you are on a budget and your PSU can handle it (but this is still in laptop tier).The 5070 12gb and 9070 XT 16gb are for the newest games and future proofing a tiny bit. Like $600.The 9070 is significantly better than the 5070 12gb (the 5070 TI 16gb is a fair comparison to a 9070 but much more expensive).
>>109561318shop around for used 1080 tis, they're like 150 bucks usually
>>109561347i can vouch for kingstonalso, kingston 2x16gb 6000cl40 = stealth hynix a-die bin for less than other 6000cl30 kits
>>109561366This is my full setup atm. I should mention im in AUS so prices are skewif at best. https://www.umart.com.au/https://www.pccasegear.com/Are the two sites i prefer to buy from amazon AU is notorious for bricked PC parks
I'm poor and I want a computer. I can buy a R5 2600 with 16gb DDR4 and an RX 580 8GB for 200 bux here.
>>109561437keep your expectations low and it's actually an alright deal
>>109561381you should try looking at facebook marketplace, you don't need to pay taxes as well, and the 1660 ti/super is a GPU that is already pretty cheap on ebay (at least last time I checked), which means it should be cheaper on facebook marketplace.And yes, the 1080 TI is a good buy as well if you find it. The 2060 super has 8gb of ram, maybe you can get lucky with $120 AUS or something (the 2060 6gb NON SUPER is identical to the 1660 TI/super, but you might find it for $100 AUS). The 2060 super has DLSS and raytracing (the newest doom release was raytracing only). But the 1660 ti/super still has fsr/xess upscaling, and the AI power just isn't enough to get massive FPS improvements that you normally see with DLSS on the 5060 TI/9060 (I am not talking about frame gen).It should also be noted that the 1660 / 2060 is going to stop getting "game ready driver updates" I don't actually know if this has ever mattered, and the 1660 / 2060 will still get security updates but only once a year for like a decade or something.There will be a 9050 GPU that's going to release with 8gb, it's not looking good though, the 5050 is a terrible GPU, and the 9050 might copy it's price, or not.And you DO need a new cpu for the 5060 TI/9060, but I don't think you don't need a new mobo, but maybe you do (I did not check compatibility).
>>109561381>>109561318get a 5700x and if you have a >650W psu, used rtx3080

>>109561514oh brother..
>>109561453Is it wrong that I don't trust 2nd hand pc parts? I basically live from my computer and go stir crazy when I'm not on it so I would reallly not like for anything to go wrong with any of its parts
>>109561445My expectations are low, but all I have is a shitty notebook with 8GB of unupgradable RAM and a 3rd or 4th gen i5. I forgot to ask if it was an alright deal, but you already answered that.>>109561505Two more weeks!
>>109558900>>In order to match PS6/Next Xbox performance you'll need a RTX 5090they said this for every console gen since the ps3 and its never been true

>>109561516Companies also deliberately raise prices because Australian market has "a higher tolerance for premium prices" its fucked
>>109561318find a time travel machine
>>109561525If you have money you can just buy a 5060 TI / 9060 and not think about it.the 1660 super / TI is good because it's cheap and not many people want it, the person giving you the GPU isn't making a living buying GPU's and upcharging it (ideally, you should check their profile), the person bought a new GPU and they are giving you the old GPU, they checked ebay / prices, and sometimes they price it lower, maybe you can ask for 20% off, maybe they will give it to you. If you looked at used "decent" gpu's, those GPU's are still expensive, like a 3070 is $400 AUS, but a 5060 TI is $500 AUS, a 5060 TI is stronger + new not stinky + return policy + 3 year warranty, it's stupid that they even think it's OK to sell at that price (BUT I CANT CHECK SOLD PRICES since I don't have an account, $300 3070 isn't even that good either, it's just risky).
>>109561347>>109561372man, where were you guys to warn me about corsair 4-5 weeks ago lol,So just to make sure, and I hope you bear with me a little more,WoT incomingmy system does not boot at all, black screen, both cpu and dram leds light up on the mobo, all fans move, gpu fans dont but I assume since it not being used at all, or at leats I did not notice them movingresponds to the case button to change rgb colors, all rgb work, even the ram stickscpu already went back for revision, I initially assumed this was the issue since the sytem did nothing, even anons here agreed, apparently it works, and its already back so here I amupdated the BIOS,using the flashback button, took several minutes, and all, but it just stays with the leds on even after 20 minscmos reset etcAIO works, I can feel itmoved ram, only one stick etc, even tried A1 and b1 channelalready disassembled and assembled like 4 times, to make sure its properly seated on the case and not touching anything over the course of all thisafter cpu came back I tried again today using only one CPU power cable, was using both cpu pwr1 and cpu pwr2 and found a post that this could cause memory training issues the other day on AM5 and ddr5 boards, so I thought I finally found the reason, nopeafter all this and finding out finally that the RAM is not on the MOBO QVL, can I safely assume that just changing the ram will fix all my problems?I would rather just not take everything apart, again but dunno if there's a chance by now that the mobo is damaged, I doubt it considering even the pins look good, and everything now points to the fact that the ram is not compatible and not on the list, also corsairAND one final question, my best option at the same price, give or take some bucks are>Kingston 5200 cl40these 2 are availableKF552C40BBK2-32 KF552C40BBAK2-32rgb is cheaper for some reason, but they seem to be the same, this should be fine right? both appear on the MOBO QVL
>>109561525*I tried to look around for used prices on ebay and gumtree and it looks pretty grim compared to my canadian experience. I was kind of thinking CAD = AUD but the prices are like 2x more than mine for used stuff (the new prices are about the same however).

>>109561572https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/memory-part-number-decoderUse thisThey are the same except one with the extra a in the model number has rgb. Should avoid rgb, it increases the electrical load, traps heat and is another part that adds complexity and possible issues. Computer parts are already complex enough, there were never this many weird unexplainable issues 10-15 years ago.A motherboard with a seven segment debug display would give you more information, every board used to have them but manufacturers are Jews and only put them on the high end ones. Half the issue posts in this thread wouldn't exist if that was still the case.
hmmmmm. I can't help but notice the lack of a blackwell 6000 in the OP.

>>109561939YesIt a problem if you get the 8gb version of the gpu, make sure to get the 16gb version. Also the 3090 has similar performance but 24gb of vram, if you dont care so much about raytracing or you're using linux the 9070xt is way cheaper (at least where I live) and performs sometimes similar, sometimes better, and you can avoid the 12v high failure connector

>>109562199Same same, 9070xt is, or was at least was when I got it 30% cheaper than the 5060 ti 16gb earlier this year, just checked and it seems its gone from $900 to $1200 since I bought itAnd always seem to be more available than nvidia ATM tooWhat's your budget? There's a 9070 non xt for $850 https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/amd/123602-prime-rx9070-o16g-evoCheapest 5060ti 8gb I could find was $700 cheapest 16gb was $950Honestly I would also look at facebook marketplace for 30 and 40 series cards they are still pretty solid, someone might be selling who isn't aware recent price hikesSorry that you are buying hardware at this time
>>109562240when does it actually go on sale though
>>109562229Maybe I could pass as their own then
>>109562286BTW 9070 bios is sometimes cross flashable with 9070xt so you can get yourself a 9070xt for 9070 moneyAnd that $950 16gb 5060ti might be the last one, or a price that hasnt been updated yet as the next cheapest in stock one of those was $1100 on pcpartpicker

>>109558013Not that you can see any of the new parts.Almost fucked up a front USB3.0 pin. Flashback of my first build nightmare.
Guys I need your opinion. My PC is near 10 years old and it's dying, considering sick part prices I thought it's over and time to walk away, then I started looking for used builds and found something like that https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RsgBTm Aio and power supply is by "Redragon" never heard about them might swap power supply to be safe, aio if loud that's always a option. Rig like that brand new goes for $3400 in my country, they sell it for $1990 used with 14 days return no question asked policy. Is there a catch? Are some parts shitty? Well if I have 14 days I might test it really well and see for myself but it's there something I don't see? Worth buying?
looking at NVME's, how's the Samsung 990 EVO Plus
>>109562430Good on Windows bad on Linux if it dies you can't repair it and Samsung will scam you
>>109562438i got a 4tb one of these because I didnt know there was an issue on Linux.. I use linux and now I don't know what to do with it so it's just sitting unopened in its box, too late to return though. What should I do?
>>109562429bottom of the barrel ram and storage (patriot is a supremely shit company) but other than that it's fine i guess, maybe just resell the ram and get something slightly betteras for the redragon psu it's barely above an IED (if you don't already know what it is don't look up the acronym if you don't want to end up on a list) and it should be upgraded asap
>>109562463sell it. someone will buy it for their console.
>>109562240I mean if all you do is emulate old games or play old pc games up to 2012 and your current ancient gpu from 2016 finally broke then it's worth it.

>>109562524Ai is just to streamline a lot of jobs pushing us toward UBI and making it so we can finally do what we want to do and not work till 80 and die of a fart a day after

>>109562484Thanks for answer. Well yeah first thing I thought was about swaping psu no question asked, as for storage, actually I don't know what's company nvme is installed, they did not list it, I will ask seller but it's not big problem I can use my old storage. I would appreciate if you could tell me more about why ram is shitty tho? What I can expect compared to other ram?

I'm genuinely baffled that engineers 40 years ago planned everything without computers.

Bought a 9070 XT Nitro and trying to undervolt it. Did I lose the silicon lottery, or is it expected?If I do +10% PL, I can't reduce the voltage at all, not even by -10mv.If I do -10% PL, the most I can reduce the voltage is by -30mv.This has been tested by actually playing games for several days now. I see some people online being able to do -100mv or similar on their cards, but I figure this is probably only stable for them on Steel Nomad or something...
>>109562935maybe amd just got better at programming their chips at the exact voltage needed to be reliable for 3 years

I have an 8TB drive for series, and a dying Seagate SkyHawk (4 TB, 3.5", CMR) which I'm planning to return because is still under warranty and crystal disk info won't stop crying about it (thank you little buddy). Since it's for static files that I will basically never really move except to make a backup of, I imagine buying SSD for that is pointless.

>>109563190yes, even the 8gb version of the 9050 is slower than a 3060 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYfw1gi9xf4. 4GB of VRAM is even worse you cant play anything that came after 2023
>>109563180Im going to be straight with you man, i didnt think PSUs went under 650w. Now i know thats a thing i will do nothing with that knowledge
>>109563190the 8gb variant is worse than the 5050 sometimes by like 100%i can't imagine how bad the 4gb one with the SIXTY-FOUR BIT BUS is

>>109562524Accelerated Compute. In order to have total control, surveilance whatever fucked thing they want they need to be able to hand massive amount of data. For that they need data centers so they needed something that will convince the normal population that data centers will improve their life in their future. This is a cart before the horse scenario where people are tasked to find something useful to do with the compute rather than building compute we need to do something useful. So far the only thing they found it had some impact in ROI aits programming, data parsing, and act as a super power web searching engine / clippy assistant for power point presentation
>>109563202kind of based if you think about it personal computing will become a nerd only hobby againperhaps the greater good ultimately can always come out from bad situations
I'm looking for a compact mATX case and came across the CM Q300L V3, but I couldn't find any reviews online. I want something small and compact that can fit an mATX mobo and ATX PSU.Got myself an NR200 when it launched, and now I want something around the same size but that can fit bigger hardware.
>>109562935You'll probably have to figure out a way to cap the maximum boost frequency, 2900 MHz should be the near the performance & efficiency sweet spot.The GPU will always try to boost as high as possible without a limiter, and its exponentially power inefficient.Find the most aggressive negative offset you can set at 2.9 or 3.0 GHz maximum GPU clock speed without crashing in any games.
>>109563163>ServerpartdealsThanks.
>>109563220I'm using MSI Afterburner, have been using it for a long time also with previous nvidia cards, and it seems to work well with the 9070 XT Nitro at least.But yeah, either we lost the silicon lottery, or the people claiming they have -100mv stable are full of shit and haven't been testing their cards properly lol...
I have a 32GB intel optane ssd but I'm not sure if that's enough as a ssd cache for a 14TB RAID1 nas.
>>109563357i suspect that the reddit fags claiming stable -100mV or lower are larping or using artificial benchmarks, frequent crashes with real games seems to be common
>>10956335799% chance they're full of shit and bad at stability testing
>>109563357Set a maximum boost cap first, whichever app you use.Your undervolt is keeping the GPU cooler, so it's trying to boost to higher clock speeds compared to stock voltage.Ex. your card has the thermal & power headroom to boost above 3.15GHz, but the undervolt is causing instabilities.Your card should be able to run 3GHz at 975mV or under if you didn't get a dud bin.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-xt-nitro/42.htmlhttps://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/DH3-020.html#DH3-020-Tuning-Controls
lol at these temps without any power limit or undervolt probably would get even higher if I hadn't fps capped to 120
>>109563364Yes it's fine
>>109563525Nice thermal throttling you have there. 30°C delta between average and hotspot.Faulty TIM application straight of the factory or what is the deal?
>>109563563For all we know they set the fan speed to lowest and have a hotbox on top
>>109563563idk it's an rdna 3 amd reference card not as bad with -10pl and a modest undervolt
>>109563580The edge temp is normal the hotspot isn't you likely got bad memory pads
>>109563580>rdna3>reference cardReference 7900XTX had a problem with faulty vapor chambers. But maybe you have some other issue, it's not normal for sure unless your case has 0 ventilation. https://www.techpowerup.com/302917/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-may-feature-faulty-coolers-causing-overheating
>>109563617If the vapor chamber was faulty the game wouldn't even run it would shut down immediatly. He just got garbage memory cooling. Aftermarket models like Nitro, Taichi, etc have dedicated cooling for the memory.
>>109563617Didn't the chiplets also have accelerated pump out with paste? I don't remember ptm being standard until rdna4.
>>109563668Reference model doesn't use paste it uses thermal pad.They skimp on the memory cooling that's all. It's the same with high end Nvidia cards the GPU says 65C but the memory is running at 105C.
>>109563611>>109563617I had the fan gpu fan speeds set to pretty low before where they were basically silent ramped them up a bit to where they are now audible when temps exceed around 60c
>>109563697now show hwinfo64 stats they show memory and mcds
>>109563697If you care about that try underclocking the core by ~300MHz it will lower the power draw significantly but performance will drop only slightly. Boost algorithm for RNDA3 is quite bad and it will try to boost all the way even if it's not needed.
>>109563651>If the vapor chamber was faulty the game wouldn't even run it would shut down immediatly.No, the fan would go on max RPM while the GPU hot spot's pegged at 110°C.https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-responds-to-rx-7900-xtx-hotspot-fiasco
>>109563737>the fan would go on max RPM while the GPU hot spot's pegged at 110°C.yeah at low load. the minute you put 350w-450w the gpu shuts down.
>>109561918>but what can you do.You can tape a gel (colored piece of plastic used in cinema) to the inside glass, nobody will see the tape. then, the color will be restricted. imo use red or green or blue, not cyan, purple, magenta, etc.
>>109563742>the minute you put 350w-450w the gpu shuts down.Except the GPU's already thermal throttled to draw that much power.You lose another argument you started.
>>109561699can, yes, but it does not keep it's gamma or colors>>109561880>microleddoa meme tech for now or possiblty foreverunless you want a 118" screen for a dot pitch to get 1080pdo you want that?>>109561894I haven't seen much modern high end IPS so idkI can say that QDOLED is the best viewing angles I've ever seen though>>109563026>covidcant (physically buy anything)>nowcan buy (just at extreme prices)hmm
>>109563731also a good point
Bro the price hike is fucking scary, I was thinking of saving up and then building a complete PC, should I just go ahead and buy the 9060xt first?
Idgi which one is the best?I have a 5700x3d cooler by an arctic freezer 34 duo, but it's not doing much, temps gets to the 80c if I render a video (which makes my room hot), and fan makes a bit of noise when above 70% speedI remember hearing about Thermalright fed years ago how they're the best for the priceI don't like the however I don't care how it looks as long as it cools my cpu better Or if you have any other recommendations, money isn't a problem I'm willing to invest something that I can reuse when I'll upgrade to am5/am6 when my cpu becomes obsolete Thanks anons.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHIntel coolers are on saleAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>109563869120 SE is the best. I have one and have no complaints.
>>109563869I have the PS120 because it was cheaper than the 120 SE at the time. No complains.
>>109563100Half the discounts that show up on ozbargain don't even reflect on pcpartspicker and other tracker websites. Don't even ask me why. Probably because our stores are too obscure. Same goes for games and other shit.
only complain with heavy coolers is they have the tiniest amount of sageven it's like 1 degree it's still noticeable and you cannot unsee it
>>109563869Two questions:Why aren't you using your GPU to do most of the render work?Did you curve optimizer yet?My 5800X3D under a Fuma 2 Rev B only hits 72c rendering in shotcut with my 9070 and I haven't touched CO yet.
I predict deep discounts on intel, and I still won't buy one.
>>109563869>temps gets to the 80c if I render a video (which makes my room hot)that heat will get into your room no matter if the cpu is cooler more or not because it generates the same amount of heatif you cared about temps you would use an aio
>>109563869A better CPU cooler will vent heat into your room faster unless you undervolt the processor.
>>109563932>Why aren't you using your GPU to do most of the render work?I'm using Davinci (Free version) and I don't think it supports gpu renderingHowever I'm trying to use Ffmpeg for it, which seems to support gpu rendering but I'll need to configure some .bat files to automate the rendering >curve optimizerNo i haven't>>109563899>>109563914Thanks anons, any difference between the 120 and 120 se?>>109563965I'm too paranoid to use water in my computer, I know it'll leak and destroy everything one day>that heat will get into your room no matter if the cpu is cooler more or not because it generates the same amount of heatWill it? I don't know anything about that but from my perspective a cpu at 60c will heat a room less than one at 80cUnless that's not how it works for electronics?
>>109563992A heatsink doesn't just delete the temperature. It's moving it from one spot (the chip) to another spot (your room).
Should I buy msi pro z790 ddr4 motherboard for 14900k!?Will this mobo limit this cpu performance?Only available ddr4 intel lga 1700 mobo in my country.Ddr5 price too high in my country so avoiding new ddr5 ram kit purchase.I already have 32 gb 3600 mhz ddr4 kit.Should I buy this mobo!?
>>109563992>I don't know anything about that but from my perspective a cpu at 60c will heat a room less than one at 80cThere should be less wasted power for a chip running @ 60°C, but the bigger efficiency gain will come from a stable undervolt.
>>109564076Yes
>>109564073>>109564079ThanksI will look into undervolting my cpu then
>>109564088Any performance issue compared to premium mobos like msi z790 tomahawk or asus rog strix z790-a?
>>109564073Oh right, a better heatsink dropping the temp compared to a worse one just means it's moving the heat more efficiently.
>>109564076it's a good choice, MSI has the best designs for DDR4 on LGA1700 and the 14 phase VRM can easily handle a 14900Kand it will do the same memory speeds as higher-end boards, no one was bothering to design separate memory topologies for low-end and high-end boards towards the end of DDR4's lifecycle
>>109564142You might be intel's customer of the month. I'm pretty sure you're the only contestant.
>>109564269i'm sure i insulted your favorite brand in your head by recommending a motherboard
>>109564142Thanks for response brother. Much appreciated.
>>109564269>Rent freeMust be tiring to be a #redteam member
>>109564091-10 CO should work on most 5700X3Ds, lower the Package Power Tracking (PPT) limit from 142W to 120W.These changes won't lose you too much performance, compare the multicore performance difference by running Cinebench r23.r23 official automatic dl link (this isn't a stability stress test).http://installer.maxon.net/cinebench/CinebenchR23.zip
>>109563166> in 3 years we will live in a normalized cyberpunk version of what the cryptomined scene looked in the poor slav countriesbut without cool futuristic cars, neons and cybernetics o algo
>>109564608Insane how absolutely dogshit current cars' interiors look compared to the visions people had in the past.
>>109558625Dunno man, here I am with my 9070XT playing kingdoms pizza delivery 2 at ultra with no upscaling with a stable 90fps or cringe desert with gay tracing and no FSR reaching 70 (CInematic preset)
>>109558763Then I'll sell my shit then buy a car lmao
>>109563992I think the main difference is that SE has exposed heat pipes at the top
>>109558900The 9070XT has almost 5 times the TFlops a series X has, what the fuck is that bald fat niggerfaggot saying
>>109564631steering wheels (and car windows) in a world of cybernetic implants are simply cringe
>>109559649Yes, that is how (((they))) make you stay poor, make shit unaffordable enough for you to scrape by and not accumulate health
>>109559885I want to shove my cock inside Mikus virtual pooper
>>109564076Be sure to check out the cost for a DDR5 platform, a 9900x costs EUR320 these days. I considered doing the same thing you did, but with local prices an AM5 platform came out within EUR50~100 of the DDR4 LGA1700 one, not worth losing the zen6/7 upgrade path over.
>>109564631some are ok some are dogshit, but luv me some quadra avenger and interior for me is lovely
>>109562316For what purpose does this even exist
>>109564823Noted but too pricey here.
>>109564859for what purpose does a $80 GT730 exist? it won't even hardware decode modern videos.
>>109564900That card is 12 years old, of course it won't have current gen capabilities. My question is for why a CURRENT GEN card has these specs
>india<>>109564315>>109564291
best computer for a cow's grandmother?
>>109564937There's a market for a piece of junk like that for $80, therefore there's a market for something that will at least support decoding modern videos up to, say, ~$150. Life's a bitch. Besides, this takes care of the dud DDR5 dies.
does $1900 to build a PC around an RTX 5070 sound about right? (already have monitors, peripherals, and SSD storage, need to buy everything else)
