In india 9070xr costs 1000 usd And in usa 749usd I fucking hate this
Cheap mATX case that can hold rx9070xt with lenght around 33cm. Or should go with shorter cards with less capable cooling and stay with older case that fits cards up to 31cm in length
I use my 9070XT on a Windows 11 machine.I use my 5070ti on a GNU/+Linux machine.
Waitfag status? Motherboards and monitors about to get more expensive.

So I've been reading about thermal paste for GPUs a bit, particularly the arctic mx-4. Not much info on gaming/tech forums so I had to look at reddit unfortunately. Someone posted about repasting their GPU with the mx-4 and the universal reddit response with 50 upvotes (as shown in picrel) is that its going to pump out so fast you'll have to change it in less than a year!!! Now admittedly, pump out is problematic on NVIDIA series 30 gpus, and it's applied on a direct die which means it wears out faster, so I figured sure maybe there's some truth to this,. Upon further researching however, I stumbled across a comment (cant find it otherwise it would've been picrel) that said his mx-4, on a 2060 gpu, pumped out in a singular fucking MONTH!!!!!! I personally have a gtx 1070 (10 series card) with this specific paste and I genuinely haven't noticed problematic increases after 2 weeks. Maybe like 1-2C increase, but I play CPU heavy games and it can differ from the room ambience. What I think isn't talked about enough, however, is that most of these people have certain things in common: they're either using 30-40xx series nvidia GPUs, overclocking their hardware to death, or are NOT BUYING AUTHENTIC THERMAL PASTE. Like, I get we can now use thermal pads and have good longevity, but every product you buy (including pads) has a risk of not being authentic and it's on you to do your proper research on products you buy, instead of leaving random unsatisfied comments on something that's probably your own fault. Thermal paste should not be dying after a month of usage unless you're overclocking your gpu to play cyberpunk 10+ hours a day.

Alright, didn't see this in the OP so figured I'd ask. I'm looking for a new HDD, because I need massive long-term storage and SSDs are unaffordable. Luckily, I bought a 4TB WD SSD right before everything went tits-up, so I'm good on a boot/run drive, just need something reasonably fast for passive media/archiving.I'm looking for something 4-8TB preferably under $250. Any suggestions? Any brands to avoid? Been a long time since I actually bought a new HDD since my old ones lasted a while, I remember people used to avoid Seagate but I don't know what the current preferences are.>tl;dr: 4-8TB HDD under $250, what do?
>a RTX 5090 in India currently cost Four Hundred Thousand Rupee>सब ख़त्म हो गया
>picrel on every boot upi'm tempted to buy the open box 5070Ti for $1100 at Microcenter and sell my 9070xt
>>109726683MX-4 is pretty thin so pump-out is going to happen faster than thicker pastes1 month sounds like they fucked up the application thoughyou should be using PCM for gpu dies anyways

>>109726683MX-4 is better than the stock paste applied to most 1070 GPUs.Letting it pump out over time isn't going to kill the GPU, the fans will have to work harder and performance might be throttled in maybe 3~5 years.

>>109727218don't ever start a system with bend pins like thatthe worst case scenario is that there's a short that can fry your installed cpu on boot
>>109727038yea im not denying that, but everything I've read about pump out suggests its a bigger issue on newer cards and constantly replacing gpu thermal paste is mostly something overclockers do. it'll pump out like every other paste does but not within a few months lol especially if its not a fake one (yes those exist, even for mx-4). as long as it serves me for a few years im more than happy desu. as far as future planning goes, the only issue personally is having to find a genuine honeywell ptm7950 pad since im from a smaller country so to say, there are re-sellers but im not experienced enough to determine whether the pcms are genuine or not. I've looked into overseas shipping, aliexpress is risky (literally where most people get knockoffs then complain about the product as if its not their fault) and linus tech tips' store only sells the bigger 100 bucks version right now. the closest thing I can find to potentially genuine paste is currently a 4g tube of mx-7 since its from an "official" retailer in my country, I've heard positive things about it on here so unless I find a way to get a genuine pcm it'll probably be my go-to new paste. nothing's certain like I said though.
>>109727218that board is unusable in that stateits pretty hard to bend them back into shape but that's the only way to revive the boardotherwise, get a new one and be careful not to kill it again

Avoid Seagate, go for WD? What "colors" are best?

I loved SteamOS but honestly trying to get the lgbqt lighting to listen was a pain. Back to Windows 11, threw some reverse blade fans in there and now a 5600X that hits 4.8Ghz ez the ram is 4000mhz but I have it running at 3600mhz with tighter timings. The Rx 7600 surprises me, when I go back to my main PC with a 7800xt/5800x3d I realize I have to spend a little more time in the settings but recreating the experience at lower resolutions for my TV has been worth it.

The bright side is that when the next generation of cards rolls around they will almost certainly come with a new standard of power connectors. That is what will sell the 6090; it uses an XT120, or some new design based on it with even higher watt and amp limits, and can safely run all its hardware at max output with DLSS5 without burning out.
>>109732925Sounds based

Built my current PC just over a year ago, 9800x3d, 5070ti, 64gb ram, 1050w PSU, x870e mobo, by all accounts its been a great pc and I got the components before prices got super crazy, right when they first started to climb. I was going to buy my son a mid range pre built because it looks cheaper than trying to build one right now but I had a buddy give me some components, in a fit of rage he threw his computer into a wall a couple years ago and its been collecting dust. He had a 4090 gpu(!), the cpu was a 7950x3d, and even a 1 TB ssd was still in the motherboard. There's a 1000w PSU and a liquid cooler in what's left of the case, no ram which is fine. My question to you is this, do I test out the 4090 in my current pc and maybe even keep it in it? It has a little bit of cosmetic damage but really looks fine for the most part and would be considered an upgrade over my 5070ti? If that works I would just need to buy a new motherboard, case, and some ram basically to build a new PC with some damn good specs. Obviously nervous about what looks fine and what could actually be damaged but I think the case took the brunt of the damage. I would probably just bite the bullet and buy 32gb of DDR5 just because I dont see ram actually getting cheaper and with all those other good components I dont see the point in only getting 16gb.

>>109734345>>109734554The 4090 is a decent amount better than the 5070ti, being slightly more than 30% faster. Check the pcb near the pcie connector for any cracks or damage on the 4090 since the 3/4-slot cooler overloads the pcb and can cause a crack in the pcb if the gpu is moved around while installed in a pc. In case it's really cracked, the 4090 is still worth 2-3 grand because the gpu core/vram would still work and can be transplanted onto a spare 4090 pcb.
5070 = 4090Jensen even said it
>>109734653>The 4090 is a decent amount better than the 5070tilollmao even
there is no reason to own a 4090 because the 5070 is just as fast while costing less and also using way less power

When do you need a GPU brace? The motherboard manual recommends one and probably wants one to warranty it long term.My GPU is two fans long (not three like some long-ass cards) and just screwing the two brackets into the rear of the case was plenty that it doesn't seem wobbly or anything.I've built PCs before but my last builds were in like 2009 and 2016, and back in my day GPUs weren't that fucking big or that fucking heavy and the idea of fucking up the PCI-E or AGP slot with card sag just wasn't a thing.

>4chan rly needs acc requirement to post

>>109734701You have to go back
parts are here just need my case and we can build. sadly the case isnt gonna be here til the 12th -_-
>>109734950nice pussy
>>109734762This is the first generation of cards where the **80 has been slower than the previous flagship. Shows how shit the 5 series is; hopefully the 6 series will be a huge step up.
let's say, for fun, that I go the boomer logic and browser ai route and wait until 2028/9 to buy parts because "prices just HAVE to go down, ok? THEY JUST HAVE TO! How else are people gonna buy them!"What could I expect by that year other than death.
>>109734987stuff isn't going to get cheaper
>>109734987You can expect to be a Bezos subscriber after being permanently priced out
>>109734987things can always get worsejews fanning the china/taiwan issue to distract from gaza and causing tsmc to get blockaded and current gen to stop being produced etc.
>>109734928>I got marriedmy condolensces>>109734987buying on ddr6 or 6090 or next amd gpu flagship (if good) makes sensewaiting to wait for what?
>>109734987Plan for the worst. If things turn better than everything went better than expected.
>>109734928are you the guy with the "fuck the trees" picture?
>>109735037The best you can do is have an x570 board with an external clockgen that lets you overclock the base clock of the CPU above 100mhz
>>109735139Any speed that keeps the parts below tjmax at full load is fine. Too many people get upset when they see 60c on parts that can do 80-95c and be within spec and have a sperg out. 5500x3d has a tjmax of 90c3060 I believe starts throttling clocks at 85c on the hotspot
>>10973513930% won't be enough under heavier load. But that doesn't matter because you can set a fan curve so it's quiet unless it's under heavy load like the CPU being at 100% when installing shaders. You should get high pressure fans which force air into the case rather than generic blowers. 5 pack of arctic p12 are popular and are on sale on amazon right now (uk)
>>109735139Turn that top fan next to the psu into an intake. See pic, taken from;>https://www.noctua.at/en/support/faqs/airflow-guide-setup-ideas
>>109735283>no clue how to do thisFan control. Look it up and you'll be happy once you take a few minutes to learn it.
>>109735283Just ask Gemini or any AI for a fan curve optimised for silent operation while still maintaining good airflow when required, give it your fan models, case and the layout you currently have. It'll pull the specs of each part and give you the RPMs for each stage of the curve. You'll find the fan curve settings in the bios.
>>109735283>Does this mean I should also turn one of bottom fans into an exhaust?No they should remain intake to feed the gpu directly.
>>109735213I really doubt the intake on top isn't going to suck hot air back into the case, I'd just do 1x exhaust on top to pick up hot cpu exhaust and not starve the cpu intake of fresh air
>>109735326>But I thought you wanted positive air pressure so the case doesn't get a ton of dust.Positive air pressure gives you dust as you are sucking air in and whatever else comes along for the ride. Dust is also not the primary concern as you should be regularly cleaning a pc.https://www.noctua.at/en/support/faqs/airflow-guide-setup-ideas
back in the day, even tv gamers used to swap to monitors because tvs were simply slow va sloppy messes and also insanely high input lag and monitors were faster and and just were betterout of this developed the general consensus that monitors were better for gaming than tvstvs totally fell out as an option for devote pc gaymers except maybe 30fps console sloppersbut then came oled, everything changed again, people have now again forgotten and assume monitors are the go to stillbut as we know with all things everything goes in cyclesoled came and saved large format gaming and now we are in a new age of the tv pillso I ask you once again, what reason other than living in a pod and being poor would you take a smaller screen over a larger screen for gaymen?

Other site suggestions are fine tooI broke my old PC beyond repair while trying to replace the PSU after it died. Lesson learned lol
>>109735493That doesn't take into consideration the GPU heating up the PC under max load.
>>109735493Run furmark and a cpu stress test at the same time and see what temps are then. Give it a good 10 mins again to heat soak.
>>109735578Running CPU demanding games which hammer my CPU and GPU at the same time increases my temps in my normal full tower case by at least 10C
>>109735560>Return the over priced RAM and get a 5070Ti instead.Ram isn't overpriced, and the 5070Ti is a low quality product. If you only keep it 2 years and sell it, it would probably be ok?
Welcome to monitor unboxed
>>109735601As a white person myself, I approve.
>>109735560the cl28 stuff was basically the same price as everything else. might have saved $20-30 which is nothing considering the current criminal prices. and i'm not buying nvidia garbage on top of that because then i'd be overpaying even more (i already have the 9070 xt)

>>109735801???inb4 non-integer scaling
>>109735821This just means you need to do a fan curve for the CPU ane GPU to optimise for the confined space they're in.
>>109735753>2.4/3.2I could 77" maxx there>>109735801you CANT use them at desktop monitor distances due to the size aloneand when you increase distance you also factor in ppd>MAH PPIppi is useless
>>109735821>The GPU is getting hotter than I would likeCurb your autism, 80c is fine.
>>109735545>>109735668I would go with this. Hard drives on there are extremely overpriced, as are all the other GPU options. You can change the motherboard to an X870 if you want extra features.
>>109735827nta but for some reason people here (and on /v/) get really, really triggered about viewing distances. Probably because they seem to sit too far away.
>>109735748I've got 14 days to experiment, right now I'm still on Windows 10 so only SDR local dimming high testing for me right now, don't think the W10 HDR mode actually does anything so I'm watching this without right now
>>109735919It doesnt take long to set a CPU and GPU fan curve. If the GPU is getting hot then push the fans a bit harder in msi afterburner
>>109735860freebie of videocard, SIRS
I'm hesitant about buying an oled monitor. I heard so many good and bad things from both sides. Is a 32' 4k display worth spending 250 euros more than a 1440p one?Only for gaming and movies btw
>>109735846>I could 77" maxx thereSure if it was a dedicated home theater pod. But currently I have set up a single bed and a huge desk with drawers and shelves along opposite walls, leaving no more space to recline / move further away from the screen.
>>109731406Attempt the repair yourself, and if you can't get it to boot, buy a new one. Nobody is going to touch that, you might be able to sell it for $20 or so on eBay if you find out what the pin does and don't fuck up too many more of them. Figure it out.
>>109735946>top right diffused lightlooks pretty matte to me

>>109735967OLED will burn in it is only a matter of when, you can delay it
>>109736316You can't say that or the miniLED cultists will lynch you.
>hardware market continues to be in shambles>Jesus weptAre there any pre-built PCs worth a damn for like $500ish that actually have a GPU? It doesn't have to be anything extreme but I'd like to play games with friends. Or is this a question better suited for the stupid questions thread?
>>109733453That was retarded then.
>>10973597680C isn't a normal operating temperature for a low power GPU like a 3060.
>>109736316Not nearly as quickly as OLED. OLED just like plasma is a short lived technology while everyone waits for micro LED screens to become affordable. OLED organic material degrades way quicker than LED by a factor of about 3x or more.
>>109736316>>109736332That's kind of an unsubstantiated cope lol
>>109736464They're pretty weird people OLED shills. Like it's a cool tech but has it's obvious huge downsides which is what puts 90% of people off because they're also a premium price.
Trying out a joystick on a monitor for the first time is so liberating, wtfIf they need to save costs WHY can't they just arrange buttons in a d-pad configuration?
>>109736491Not really. My 3080 used to get that temp when stress testing but it's also a massively more power hungry card.
I should be getting a 5080 build for what I need to spend on a 9070xt build
>>109734519Let me guess.They don't compare DLSS and FSR.They don't compare productivity.And they don't compare RT and PT.And they compare the worst possible deal on a 5060Ti to the best possible deal on a 9070 XT?
>they call it "halo"LCD viewing angles moment
>>109736237Its in another tab somewhere, but you should check what their actual prebuilt prices are before you settle
>>109736519Furmark is essentially a power virus and it hammers a gpu way, waaaay harder than anything else. It isn't like a 3060 has a cooler on it rated for 300w like a 3080 might do.
>>1097365193080 is a triple slot cooler at much higher tdp. 3060 is single slot to dual slot cooler which is barely enough for half tdp.
>>109736551>makes a contrived scenario just to shill for oled
>>109736567I'm testing my own monitor here I'm just being real about what I'm finding so farMini led can't escape being an LCD and having viewing angle issues
>>109736533Undervolting the GPU is the obvious course of action here. There's some guy on YouTube called imwateringpsu or something like that who gives a bunch of undervolt or undervolt+overclock targets which work on 95% of cards.
>>109736581Unfuck your camera settings before using them as 'proof' of lcd bloom (which miniled solves with plenty of zones).
>>109736575Zoomers can't stop having obsessive paranoia anxiety depression spirals over FUD that they then try to spread to othersJesus Christ You're gonna tell me next that the sun will bake the earth in 600 million years?

>>109736631RTings showed that miniled tvs suffer catastrophic failure faster than oleds, people who were coping about lcd lasting longer than oled have been taking L's ever sinceThey are now coping by saying that it was an unrealistic test condition and TVs are brighter and hotter than monitorsyes it lasts lionger if nothing else regarding to the display operation does not fail before then, but that's a gamble>>109736642I was just mildly adding more flame to the fire at a some what relevant comment bigger question is if the actual electronics in total will hold up and not fuck up during that time
>>109736630>there is no alternatives thoughThere are tons of alternatives. I've been using both OLED TVs and MiniLED TVs for years now and they're pretty much identical experiences. You wouldn't know the OLED cost 2x the price or the MiniLED was half the price. They're both good for gaming. I use the MiniLED for competitive games because I play in SDR on my PC and crank the brightness to max for visibility reasons since HDR has too many brightness fluctuations for my liking.
QD OLED + 8k gamesir = winnar
>>109736669there is no shot you can look at an oled and then swap back to a va or ips if it is and not see massive trailing everywhereit's too apparent
>>109736687Maybe if this was 6 years ago before MiniLED came along. Backlight zones have increased to the thousands and algorithms have come an insanely long way since FALD first debuted.
>>109736706pixel transitions not the backlightthe new rgb minileds tvs are the worst of them all too even worse than last gen
>>109736731RGB mini LED is a new tech that just debuted so it'll have it's own teething issues just like QD OLED did with the S95B or the WOLEDs with MLA which caused a purple tint on white screens. Regardless, for most people, the benefits of OLED aren't glaringly obvious unless you actually research what to look for e.g. turning off all your lights and putting on a HDR video clip of 4000 nit stars in space. Under regular usage the differences are indistinguishable. You couldn't go wrong with either except for the fact one costs much more.
>>109736675I'm just not going to use a controller with "GAMERSIR" written on it.Rename your fucking company, or stop branding "GAMERSIR" on your shit.
>>109736630>buy a qdoled tv in the meantime
>>109736803>I can't afford curtains, I have to make payments on my qled
Why the fuck are you talking about TVs with regards to computer monitorsDesktop CRTs and Television CRTs were never the same
>>109736872akkkshully (rare product)
I definitely should have waited to install Windows 11 on at least one machine before buying this monitor to be able to properly because right now HDR is very wonky on Windows 10, I have no browsers that support HDR (or games for that matter), I can't use NVIDIA RTX HDR, so I'm basically limited to SDR local dimming for now. The maximum and minimum brightness is good at least and it's definitely easier on the eyes. Response times seem also pretty good, they feel close to my 240Hz 1080p monitor. And 4K feels great on the eyes, it's like putting on glasses. It's crazy to think that 5K is even sharper than 4K at 27 inches.
>>109736872Oled monitors are much worse than their tvs but the inherent panel limitations still carry across like the raised blacks on qdoled here >>109736803
>>109736921I can get a great oled monitor under 400 euros and the cheapest are under 300 euros. The cheapest OLED tv is nearly double that price
>>109736975And Oled tvs are much better. Oled monitors are still fundamentally flawed in many ways. When getting the best picture out of a panel requires fundamental hardware changes, you know it's bad.
>>109737020Which OLED tv models or brands do you recommend then? And not 2000 euros ones
all that matters is you get qd oled. if its woled say no.
>>109737078I found one brand new at 320 euros. Should I get it? The other one I want to get instead is the Asus Rog Strix OLED XG27AQDMGR Gen 2 which is 380 euros
>>109737028I wouldn't buy any of the current models from the last few years for both personal requirements reasons and just general flaws reasons desu. I feel like the last genuine problem free LG oled was like the C3 or C4 maybe. C5 has an annoying dithering issue which is especially shit for PC gaming if you're up close. C6 still has the issue and not as bad, but there are issues with gaming which may or may not be fixed and costs 2k anyway.Samsung is annoying because the software is garbage and your TV is always available to all your neighbours as a casting device which can't be turned off the last time I checked. The TVs are supposed to be good though. S90f maybe.
>>109737105why are the colors so different?
>>109737129Probably different color settings. The dithering is annoyingly obvious though and their monitors still have this issue and need new gen tech to fix it.
