i just upgraded and the new mobo is messing with the power of all connected usb devices when turning the pc on/restarting it
checked bios and deep sleep is disabled, and i enabled S5 power for usb, but it still is randomly switching my hub and screen light, because it fully cuts and connects power
what else do i need to set to solve this?
AsRock Steel Legend B850M

Already have 800 dollars saved to buy a high end PC started saving 6 months ago, I think I'll be in time to camp out of my local micro center when the 70 series arrives.

What kind of AIO fan would I need for the am5 9800x3d?

>>105592333
Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 Pro is the best performing one on the market.

>>105592262
Nvidia is my friend they would never do that

>>105592284
Where is the 80% utilization cuz I'm not seeing it tard. This is 1440p but the game was set to 1080p when I first got in from another test I did previously and the utilization was the exact same as pic related so clearly there isn't a bottleneck here or it's incredibly slight at worst.

>what's that, you want to put a full-sized ATX motherboard in this case?
>too fucking bad, modern motherboards have angled connectors on the right side, have fun connecting usb, sata, and power with that recessed panel
THOSE BITCHES! This was a perfectly fine case.

>zhe gets 90fps at 1440p

2 months later I still did not pick a new monitor in place of my VG248QE.

It appears I'm too sensible to motion clarity since I'm performance focused (used to do light competitive gaming), and I would need to try one of these 700$+ OLED monitor to make a fair comparison.

I have a question. It's mandatory for the number of FPS to match the target refresh rate for the motion clarity to express, right ?
Let's say I buy one of these Zowie TN monitor at 500Hz, I'd need 500 FPS to have the better motion clarity available on the market, right ?

For example when I watch RTINGS pictures for CAD @ Max Refresh Rate, the image is barely clearer from a PG27UCDM (QD-OLED 240Hz) to the VG248QE (TN 144Hz).

It feels I need to wait maybe 12 or 18 months to get an OLED screen that will truly match the capability of a TN panel in terms of motion clarity at an equivalent refresh rate.
If I buy an OLED right now, my theory is I'll get great relaxed gaming and media creation, but I'll get fucked even for light competitive gaming, not talking about burn-in 10 years from now, when my old TN only have a subtle line from the Windows' windows top and bottom bar (and I can't even find them right now). But in no way in the next year I see myself having more than 144 raster FPS in the games at 1080p or 1440p anyway (got an overclocked RX 9070).

Feels like I need a new kind of OLED that's 240Hz or under, 1440p, and black magic that makes motion clarity truly a step up.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gp3Lxg
want to upgrade my 1060 mainly to drive my 4k monitor at 160hz instead of 120 right now, which requires turing/rdna1 or later. I play a lot of geometry dash and the bare minimum (5700 xt) is enough for that probably.
but seeing that the used market isnt amazing i am open to buying something high end instead so that I can play other games sitting in my library at higher settings, including red dead 2, witcher 3, and hitman.

I have plenty of money that is either going into a new gpu or into retirement account. Basically my budget is flexible but I don't want to get ripped off buying something I don't need.
Considering mainly amd 9000 series. 9060 16gb seems like a ripoff when its $80 more than the 8gb. 9070 is 600 dollars in usa right now, there is a 9070 xt open box for 650. Problem is I only have a 650w psu. If I can reduce the power limit on the 9070 xt then that might be the way to go.
CPU is a ryzen 5600 so won't be a super bottleneck or anything.
If someone can find me a good ebay deal that would be amazing too

>>105592468
9070 is the best and most power efficient one. 9070xt sucks up 100w+ more than the 9070xt for 20 more frames. If you get the 9070xt you can undervolt it but lose a little performance. consider a used AMD 6000 or a RTX 3080 since they're starting to go cheaper and cheaper.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWtenIVx2I4&t=925s

>>105592454
I have heard that 240Hz OLED is = to 360Hz LCD in terms of clarity, so 500Hz TN should beat 240Hz OLED in terms of clarity, but just barely. You can get 360Hz OLEDs now, too! The instant response times are hard to escape once you have em. I think a 9070 can drive 360hz at competitive settings, depending on CPU, and what games?
>>105592468
Get the 9070, brand new, correct power profile out the box without any fiddling. Perhaps the open box was returned for a reason. If you really have fomo you can just clock the 9070 up to XT levels with a better PSU down the line.

Come home, white man. I may have just found a candidate for a proper modern workstation case. Too bad it's fucking $100.

>>105592563
One of the most recent fast PvP game I play is Delta Force, and I can get almost constant 144 FPS at 1080p, settings at 5/7. My CPU is a 5600K.

Exposing my situation makes me think I'd better first reach a strong CPU/GPU core, with DDR5 instead of DDR4, and then get an OLED that I can run between 120 and 240 FPS so the transition will be worth it for any kind of usage.

>>105592631
Life Required Ahead. Being this parasocial over some PUBjeet is not healthy man. Cool down. Take a walk. Go play some games on your 9070xt. You're more delusional and deranged than he is.

>>105592675
X3D does a lot of legwork to get up there. I would strongly suggest looking into one. I know the 5080 is like 30% stronger than the 9070, but I think this is a good representation of what it takes to get over 240 at 1440. So many goddamn videso want to max this game out at 4K, this one seems reasonable. https://youtu.be/c3aUH8zXk9c?si=M10VdFjiDarrpBOT

What's the best way to bend the PSU<->Mobo cables? They are so stiff and I'm concerned about pulling them out of the connector or damaging the wire inside

>>105592714
I didn't make that thread. Pretty hilarious the dlss freak is so scared he made a whole thread begging the mod to do something about the "doxxing" though lmao.

it should always have decent slack and sit freely with zero tension on the socket, keep at least 4-5cm unbent - applies at all cables

man I really need to go to sleep

>>105592775
Yep. He's a total retard and keeps demonstrating so. When I first looked through the archives and connected all the dots I wasn't 100% sure but this shit shows I was right.
>>105592786
Your thread got deleted, this one didn't. The mod doesn't give a fuck as long as the pic isn't posted in the thread. Anyone that clicks that link can see what you are and there is nothing you can do about it freak.

What's a good program that I can use to design my own computer case? I know it's gotta be some kind of CAD software but I'm lost as to what I should use.

>>105592863
AutoCAD is the goat.

What monitor panel is better / do you use? VA, IPS?

>>105592863
fusion 360. it's free and an industry staple.
>>105592875
autocad is primarily for blueprinting 2d

>>105592863
If you have no 3d experience at all I would pirate an earlier version of Sketchup, it's 3d for tards, extremely easy to get the hang of.

>>105592895
>If you have no 3d experience at all
Oh I've got plenty of that as far as regular software like Cinema 4D, Maya, and Blender goes. But my autism demands more precision and a standardized library of industry-standard screw holes, screws, nuts, bolts, and so forth because I already have an annoying habit of modelling stuff down to that level of precision and it takes too much time sometimes and (and I can make mistakes). So that's my only issue with just using existing software.

>>105592885
myb i just saw cad and spat out what i use lol

>>105592875
I know a guy who has AutoCAD cracks, so I might as well try it.
>>105592885
Guess I'll try Fusion 360 first.

>>105592829
>4-5cm
so I guess my current bend is about as far as I should go?

>>105592959

>>105592716
Cheers mate

>>105592881
>What monitor panel is better / do you use? VA, IPS?
Im using IPS panel from LG.
My TV is old and has VA.

I want TN.

>>105592959
pretty much. wires are not water hoses, but you want to treat them pretty much same way and avoid sharp edges. if you want to have 90-degree angles - check for official adaptors from your psu manufacturer, or at least adaptors certified by your psu manufacturer. otherwise - it is all you're own risk.

>>105592881
Depends on what results you expect. Generally OLED > almost OLEDS > IPS > VA > TN for image quality

But then depending on motion clarity, color expectation, brightness, all kind of stuff, you may go in any direction.

are there ANY good non-video explanations of consumer pc hardware? all I find on youtube are goofy redditors jumping around, and googling for text resources, all I find are super oversimplified things like "what is a gpu"

I want to find in depth explanations about things like how motherboards differ, why amd's x3d series are better for gaming, etc etc

There are many, but you gotta understand that you are looking for passionate autists who aren't popular. The algorithms aren't tuned to feed you engineer-level knowledge on these products, they often take time to produce. You need a collection of resources that help inform you.

a good response? on my basket weaving forum? thank you :)

>>105593245
buildzoid does autistic shit like that about individual mobos, cpus. he's knowledgeable and detailed but sometimes hard to follow
for general yet deep knowledge these guys have some world class videos about ram, ssd, gpus
https://www.youtube.com/@BranchEducation

>>105593334
Of course. It took years to cultivate a universe of tech autists with a slight business and engineering bent, but I enjoy it, youtube seeing you consume that shit will open you up to even more obscure autists with even cooler info. But it's rare. always be lookin for the diamonds in your recommendations.

Nobody shit on me last thread, but I'll ask again to be safe.

Anything wrong with this build before I pull the trigger?

>>105593355
I don't understand your PSU, mobo or RAM choices. you do not need 64gb ram unless you're doing heavy graphics, the mobo is so expensive i can't imagine how it can even reach that price, and the PSU is only worth it if you really value the modularity. just save on those 3 things and get a better gpu

Uh...

>>105593355
I didn't shit on you but I told you that if you want to do stuff with AI you really want an nvidia gpu anon

>>105593355
>>105593397
Wait, you're doing AI with this PC? You DEFINITELY want an Nvidia GPU. That's not even debatable. Why do you think they're all so expensive right now?

>>105593392
toasty
almost as hot as moon during the day

>>105593355
too much ram, too much psu, overkill mobo
why do the above 3 things while 'saving money' with a 7800x3d??
outdated tech gpu (no fsr4, useless in rt)

>>105591715
the build itself is not the problem
thing is the nigger behaves like he has 2 epycs and quad sli quadro and calling everyone else nigger or poorfag while having that build
also suddenly hes missing and theres some othet totally not the sane nigger throwing around every single newnigger lingo
did his hdd die or something? i dont see the usual image spam

>>105593355
>>105593397
Bro before you ignore me again you should know, I don't give a fuck if someone prefers AMD or NVIDIA. It's not GPU war bait, if you want to do something with AI you WILL regret that you picked this GPU. NVIDIA is more expensive yeah, but you will need it. Trust me

>>105592220 (OP)

Will something like this really be enough to hold my GPU?

just got this from my wife, upgrading from a 3070

what am I in for bros? Also r8 my wife

>>105593795
sure but depends on the case. I use a similar one that came with my GPU.

>>105593828
Based wife, great upgrade, quite a bit stronger and 50% more vram. Enjoy anon!

>>105593839

>>105593828
Need a wife like her. Very based.

How much will it cost? $1200+?

I just bought a 5090FE from calling bb. I can't believe a reddit post fucking got my back of all things.

Anyways, should I upgrade my 5800x3d or wait™
For zen 6 x3d? It's supposed to be 12 cores on a single ccd right? I can live with a little bit of bottleneck anyways.

>>105593870

>>105593876
Damn that actually works, just read that a cpuple days ago. Can also just bully an employee into ordering the FE for you in store as well.

Yeah, like wtf do you need AI on a monitor for

>>105593856
looking at https://youtu.be/Wy_zXvLO1ww?feature=shared&t=1424 it depends a bit on how high your GPU is and how far the the holder is extendable but as long as you dont place it on the grill part at the front I'd assume it should work.

>>105593892
Yeah I was shocked that it worked. That post is a couple of days old so I was certain it wasn't going to work but it did.
>>105593893
Call your local BB, and tell the automated system that you're looking to get help with an existing order. This will get you to a human rep the quickest. From there it's all random what kind of support you'll get. I called about 20 times until I got a lady who knew how to place an order for a 5090 from an out of state BB that had it.
I just said I'm looking to place an order for a graphics card and the sku is 6614151
The lady who took my order asked me for my name, email and phone number at the start while rest of them said they were going to check for stock.

Now I just have to hope that some asshole doesn't swipe the card during transit.

i was about write a lot but then most of the answers were on your post
where do you see a 9070 at 600? newegg has the pulse 9070 at 680 which should be one of the three brand to pick (sapphire, xfx and powercolor)
they also have a oem 5700x3d at 252

>>105593976
So many folks in that thread saying it doesn't work, a shame. I will still try. It does seem like 5090 stock is becoming plentiful.

>>105593575
Didn't mean to ignore you, I take the criticism I just wanted to avoid paying for overpriced nvidia. Is nvidia that essential for LLMs if I don't care about images and videos?

>>105593382
>>105593442
ram is cheap. PSU has headroom and barely more expensive than 850w.
>mobo
Good linux support, good slots and alternatives were not much cheaper.

>>105593432
I just want to fuck about with private LLMs

>>105593663
I thought so

>>105594013
Yes
Radeon can barely generate image slops and not even that good
For LLMs you want Nvdia, no choice

I stopped undervolting my CPU and my GPU performance problems went away. Maybe I was just cpu-bottlenecked this whole time. Wasn't even undervolting that much so I'm still not sure why it was a problem in the first place.

>>105594004
GL to you and yeah I think 5090 stock situation is getting better.

Which Ryzen CPU are just not worth due better alternatives on similar price?

>>105594051
Doesn't make sense
If you are on ryzen and you are cpu bottlenecking UV alleviates it because the CPU boosts higher

I don't understand any monitor jargon and just bought a 1440p monitor with USB-c charging. I like it. No idea what any of these features mean.

>>105594081
No idea, could be a coincidence. Maybe I accidentally changed something else at the same time.

My current pc doesn't have anything to recieve wifi. Which was fine up until now, I just had it connected with an ethernet cable to the modem. But now I've got to move my desk to pretty much the other side of the house, and I don't really have a way to get a cable all the way over there.
What's the best way to get it to receive wifi? One of those usb adapters, or something that clicks into the motherboard directly? I haven't run into this before, so I'm a little lost on the options.

>>105594099
Lmao. Just let ChadGPT explain it to you. It's what I did.

>>105594013
>Is nvidia that essential for LLMs if I don't care about images and videos?
No. It's just worse.

what is a good memory benchmark

Can someone with the suprim liquid 5090/80 tell me if it has any noise problems? How loud is the pump on it?

>>105594013
What kind of LLMs?

>>105592248
Keep reading the manual. But with this sort of issue, it's a crap shoot as to which mobos keep power on or not.

I officially declare the 5090 crisis to be...OVER!

Does Mr. Userbenchmark still post here?

>>105594374
when retarded pricing will be over too?

>>105594374
It wasn't a crisis, they didn't make enough and pushed it out too soon. Still not worth the price.

>the Super still isn't out yet

>>105594374
A 5090 is exactly 2x the fps of a 5070.
So why is it 4-5x the price of a 5070? It should be 2x.

It's like when one 4090 used to get you 2-3 7900XTX but a single 4090 is only 15-20% faster than the 7900XTX.

Are Super cards even that super?

>>105594456
And if the 5070 is 4090 performance, why isn't it more than the 4090?

>>105594013
>I just want to fuck about with private LLMs
It's all about ram these days. vram, really. moar vram.

The best consumer config coming up is the B60 DUAL:
https://www.techpowerup.com/336966/maxsun-arc-pro-b60-dual-48gb-graphics-card-hands-on

So far, no hardware company is interested in making pro class LLM run locally. The B60 DUAL is literally two arc B60 glued together so they can fit 2 per slot.

>>105594460
the 50x series? probably less super. they will be the 'normal' 50x cards we should have gotten on release.
their price is going to be super high tho

How does windows become "bloated"? Are registry entries from installed software enough to make things slow, or is it *only* programs running in the background that slow the system down? I have ton of music plugins installed (dll and vst3), and I wonder if those things have made my pc too slow for gaming now, since despite having a fairly good AMD build, I get terrible performance on some of the games I'd like to play

Follow up question then would be, is there a good way to debloat a system, without having to do a fresh clean install?

I know that I'm a retard but I let a local PC store install my Windows 11 and they did it in spanish. I changed all I could to english but it seems like I can't remove the spanish language from system. I also know that some things at system level will remain in the installation language, is that going to cause issues in the future? Worst comes I can clean install Windows in English, I guess, and get rid of that?

How much could I get for my 6700 XT Hellhound? Is 250eur a fair price to ask?

>>105594573
>>105594581
Windows has a iso feature called "in-place upgrade". It does a complete reinstall while still keeping all your files. Windows doesn't really get "bloated" more like corrupted and it could be a billion reasons, your bad cpu/ram oc, a bad power outage crash, terrible ssd controller, bad drivers, etc. like you have to delete shader cache once in a while too otherwise you get lag or errors in your games.

>>105594647
How do I uncorrupt / delete these shader caches and what not?

>>105594657
On AMD you can delete your shader cache in the driver control panel like pic related.

For Nvidia you have to reinstall your driver or dig inside your appdata folder
https://portkeygamessupport.wbgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/14659998310803-How-To-Clear-Your-Shader-Cache

>>105594657
>>105594671
Also some games keep their shader cache in their own folders as well. You have to pinpoint and delete them. Sometimes they're called PSO or whatever.

>>105594671
>>105594709
but what if I'm CPU bound for some reason? I think I ran cinebench r20 (since it produces fast results than r23) on my windows user vs safe-mode, and got higher score on safe mode

what I am in for and is there better (rtx)

>>105594728
safe mode unloads all drivers. your cpu score will ofc be higher since it doesn't have to load the gpu, chipset, network, etc.

I really want to buy a 3000 dollars laptop bros
Should I do it

Asrock challenger OC is 600 on both newegg and micro center and has been this way for a few days. I guess the only problem with this is just that I can't find any online reviews :\ Also the fact that it might get even cheaper to compete with an increased number of 5070s at 600 as well.

Just buy a 5070 ti or used 3090

>>105594761
The lowest it's gonna go is $50 lower, it's more likely to go out of stock in my opinion. Use a credit card with points or Rakuten to recoup that extra few bucks if you are bent out of shape about it. The cooler is gonna be more than enough for that 220W card, no reviews needed. 5070 is available for $550 at Best Buy, even in stock locally, but I would wait for delivery and pay $50 more for more perf and VRAM.

>>105594729
Its basically a 3090 with less vram. Assuming you are on something older, it almost certainly doesn't run as power hungry and hot as one of these. I also keep hearing online that GDDR6X cards tend to die early for these heat and power reasons but no hard evidence.

Unless you know something I don't or some specific use case, I wouldn't buy it at this price since the 5070/amd 9070 would be cheaper and with comparable performance.

>>105594729
better for cheaper https://shop.asus.com/us/90yv0l71-mvaa00-asus-prime-radeontm-rx-9070-xt-oc-edition-16gb-gddr6.html

>>105594729
5070 has way better performance, faster 12gb, used 2/3rds the power, it's $200 cheaper and in stock at Best Buy. New. Don't you dare.

This monitor has Mini LED (maybe not the greatest) and I see it at 550 and below all the time.
I bought a very similar model that didn't have mini LED for 300 (amazing deal) and I almost regret buying it it when I see this one renewed for 349 on Amazon. Pretty wild.

>>105594627
I would think even up to 300 (or whatever is the price of the 9060 8gb) might sell especially if you want to capitalize on the huge anti 8gb hate right now. I personally wouldn't take it over a 9060 xt 8gb but I think plenty of people would.

More often, they go for $500-600, but you act like they're readily available for $350.

Could also consider an Intel Arc. Haven't kept up with them much but I hear they're very great value, if you're willing to risk even worse software than AMD.

There are other manufacturers for gpus than NVIDIA and AMD? How do they survive, who buys them

I have
>one pair of LV32D4U2S8HD-8X
>one pair of KF3200C16D4/8GX
and for the life of me I can't seem to get the four of these to run at 3200 MT/s. The first doesn't support XMP, so I manually set the speed to 1600 MHz in the BIOS but these lil cunts just cap out at 2400 for some reason. With only the second pair slotted in, it works just fine at 3200. The first pair is harvested from a Lenovo pre-built. Rest of the system:
>AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
>Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2
and some other shit I suppose is largely irrelevant. Running CachyOS right now if something's needed on the software side. The RAM is slotted in correctly (A/B/A/B).

>tfw all of my case's psu shroud is a stupid grill
>worried that the gpu holding arm will just warp the grill overtime

>>105595145
There are 4 highly questionable part choices that I will point out.
Firstly, the CPU+GPU combo is not the best for gaming. Typically you want to spend much more on the GPU than the CPU. For example buy the i5-14600k instead and put that money towards the RTX 5060 or 5070 (the latter is worth the extra money)
Also you need to buy a different memory kit. A good alternative is any that is 2x16gb at ddr4-3200.
Lastly the motherboard is pretty low end.
If you live near microcenter I recommend getting one of the CPU bundles, or even just looking at them since they show good matches of CPU, motherboard, and RAM.

>>105594573
The older windows (98, XP etc.) tented to get bloated or just randomly break, reinstaliing them every year or even more frequently wasn't uncommon
Since 7 it got better. There is software like BleachBit for cleaning registry, cache/temporary files etc. but on modern systems and hardware it barely does anything. Just don't use CCleaner since it's spyware. You can check your autostart, active services for performance improvements, defender definitely can fuck up things. IT could also just be that the games aren't optimised for amd.
>>105594581
The best way is just to get LTSC version, there are loads of garbage and spyware that you can't disable on lower versions. You can also check /fwt/ for tools like shutup10 etc., also there are some modified ISOs with bloat cut off.

Just woke up from a nightmare I bought a 5060 to 8gb instead pc the 9060 xt so I had stuttering on games and the dream ended with me 41%ing myself like nviditroons are prone to do. I immediately went and took the side panel off my pc and gave my new 9060 XT a firm kiss on the backplate.

>>105595430
I had a dream last night that my computer blue screened and when i checked my side panel i had a rtx 5090. i woke up and thank god that i have a 7900xtx instead that doesnt blue screen.

im like whats the cope here? running exactly that, works amazingly good
then i check his site and it was all clear lmao, hope he does it for free too

>>105595472
nvidia is a brand of fake radeon cards known to catch fire, and to produce fake frames with inaccurate colors and crash. they have the same naming scheme as radeon, you wanted the 9070 XT which is the real card.

Ngreedia scams their own customers and leaves them behind. AMD does not. 9070 is future proofed for the next 5+ years at 1440p with 16GB of vram. RDNA 3 does not have the hardware to run the full version of FSR 4 but they are still trying hard to get it to work in some form on the architecture so that 7900 XTX buyers don't feel like they've been abandoned.

The replacements to the 4060 (5060 and 9060 xt) just launched so if they are available, I would buy it instead. The reviews arent great but despite that they are still better than the 4060.
there isn't anything super wrong with the 14600k except that its a dead end socket and there are better options for just gaming
I would probably save money with a cpu with less cores like the 14400(f) and then getting a cheaper motherboard as well.

>>105596749
This anon is right. But 5060 9060 still fresh and overpriced.
1700 socket is not in production.
I advice to swich focus from CPU to GPU. Or you really-really need that 20 threads. I personally would pick 10 cores (10 cores is overkill for me) ultra 225 3 nm vs old 14600 10 nanometers and faster GPU as possible.

>>105596798
thanks for the advice, i have no real desire for rayracing or any of that nonsense. My only worry is possible bottleneck though on my CPU but I think there's sites I can put my build into and find out if that's the case or not

Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 360 is perfect, the Pro is not necessary, you wouldn't want the fans to spin even faster and louder since the limiting factor is rather the ambient temperature and the small delta to the water temperature, making faster spinning fans inefficient, and the cooler on the IHS of the CPU. Only delidding the CPU would improve temps significantly.

>>105597245
>>105597292
Ok guys explain it to me. I've read that for workflow on PC, 32" 4K is "better" than 27", because you don't need to use "quite as much" scaling on 32" 4k than on 27" 4k (since the PPI isn't quite as high on the 32"), but on games the 27" allegedly might appear a bit "sharper" than the 32" ? Or am I wrong?

It's not some magical sharpening effect, just the same amount of pixels closer together. If you move the larger monitor away from you it'll look the same.

>>105597317
> on games the 27" allegedly might appear a bit "sharper"
With a 27"1440p you tend to sit closer to the display than with a 32"4k and this again ruins the "sharpness". However, a 27" is very enjoyable, a 32" is not that much better unless on a large desk or for work. This is my personal experience, I got both setups.

Cool, mint it is then. Is cinnamon that bad?

>>105597345
So overall, for more diverse setups, the 27" 4k monitor might be more practical than the 32" 4k? I haven't been able to test 4k monitor on desktop environment, but I recently had the choice between a telly and a 27" monitor, and I chose the monitor precisely because I can distance it to taste on the table, while the telly would've been stuck only at "farthest back" position on the table. I'd also imagine that when it comes to multi monitor setups, 27" provides slightly more diversity (maybe 3x 27" is possible? or maybe 1x 27" + 2x 23" ?), whilst with 32" monitor I imagine you're stuck with a 2x setup at most. If there's something I've learned from tinkering with multiple monitor setup, it's that there's "no replacement for displacement" (car analogy), meaning physical screen showing their own info > digital windows trying to emulate multi monitor setup (usually done on a single ultrawide monitor). Basically things will always look "right" with more monitors.

Get the case that has effective dust filters in bottom, front, side (if any openings).

>>105597388
You just need a dust filter and positive pressure. I'd go for North XL just because it actually comes in non-glass.

>>105597405
> 27" 4k
Terribly dense resolution for 27". 1440p already makes me sit very close to the screen and with 4k I would feel the urge to creep into it. If 4k then 32" to be able to enjoy it.

I already figured I would have to get NVIDIA, seeing as many mixed opinions about the 50 series cards, so I will just go with my original plan of getting a 4070 super and then later upgrading to a 4080 super. I'm a bit confused on what you mean about my RAM, though I might just not be reading that correctly

>>105597399
Not sure, the guy was using the power cable for his new 5090 so I have to go buy one to test it out. Card looks mint though and it's still under warranty so here's hoping I just got lucky.

>>105597368
>>105597399
calling it now it's a board and heatsink with the GPU and VRAM stripped

>>105597347
> 5080 Super
Would be almost twice the price of a 5070 Ti if the rumors of 24GB VRAM come true.

>>105597457
> GPU and VRAM stripped
Then $800 is overpaid.

>>105595714
>>105595942
How much ram do you have?
Otherwise idk i guess the windows AI is scanning your butthole for being a double plus ungood consumer.
9/10 times when the computer is still running but shitty it’s a software problem rather than hardware.

>>105597472
The board and cooler may be worth $50 if he has a good model

>>105597452
VR loves VRAM especially if you're gonna Flat2VR so skip the anguish and just get a 4070Ti Super or 4080 out of the gate
>I'm a bit confused on what you mean about my RAM, though I might just not be reading that correctly
it's the latency number on the , it's the right speed of DDR5-6000 but it's CL36 latency vs CL30 - higher number is worse here because it basically means "this many cycles until it responds"
the latency value is less critical for RAM when you're using an X3D chip because the large L3 cache there helps but you might as well go for the CL30 speed if you're willing to be this spendy

>>105597201
last 4 weeks of my fucking life since the intel voodoo curse came to suck my CPU silicon. But of course, I hadn't even heard about that shit until now and every BSOD and kernel dump blamed memory or driver errors and by the time my ass finally learns about their factory fuckup over a year late and get the RMA ticket in with gruesome fucking detail,

>"We're sorry you're experiencing difficulty with your Raptor Lake processor. Are you sure this problem wasn't influenced by faulty memory units? Try swapping for a new set of RAM, and report back if that helps!"

>Already did. Memtest86 clean on both. It's not the RAM.

>"...Try another!"

>>105595655
Do you live in a 300 year old house with bad electrical grounding

>>105595453
I don't get it, what's the catch?

>>105597461
true enough, it's just a matter of whether or not you want to go through the buy and sell, but IMO a 4070 now is a bad call other than the Ti Super
>>105597472
yes I'm implying dude got ripped off or the seller really does not give a single fuck and has lots of money to burn selling a 4090 that cheap

>>105597517
My PSU has a cable that fits the 4090, can I connect it to this port to power it or do I need the splitter cable.

>>105595728
5070 Ti with a 9950X3D? Waiting for prices to get better? It's not bad thanks to DLSS™ but at least get a 5080.

>>105597500
Maybe you just don't sound convincing enough
I've rma'd with intel very painlessly back in 2020 by giving a very detailed report on how I tried changing everything but the CPU and the issue still persisted and they didn't give me any trouble exchanging it for a new i9.

>>105597521
Isn't that exactly what the port is for? I assume the cable says 600W on the top.

>>105593985
She did the best she could with the small sum provided by her boyfriend

>>105597527
Yea it does, if that works I can try it out now and see if I got scammed or super lucky.

>>105597195
27" is the ideal size.

Yes, this exact same disagreement will occur until the end of time.

>>105597496
Yeah, I looked into it right after I sent that, I already changed it out. This is what I have now https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JC9b6Q though not sure on what manufacture to try and get it from but that feels like an entirely different conversation that I will look into on my own. Thank you for helping me by the way

>This screenshot makes AMD tranny cry himself to sleep and shit his diaper
What? Does the game not run good on AMD or why say that?

>>105597245
What screen is that

>>105597572
Some overpriced ROG slop

>>105597138
>even more so pricy dual layer IPS
Never heard of dual layer IPS before, what's it about? What monitor uses it?

>>105597554
I hope that's just a placeholder item and you are not planning on actually paying that much for a 4080S
happy to help, what are your planned PCVR games you're going to start with?

>>105597532
it does indeed
12V-2X6 is the "successor" or "next gen" to 12VHPWR and should work fine but always double check with your PSU vendor to be 110% sure

>>105592220 (OP)
it's begun

>>105597660
It technically is and isn't, planning on getting a 4080S from Ebay or just somewhere else but i'm not paying that much for it. As for planned games I'm not sure yet, was considering half-life Alyx, Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand grenades, or Raw Data though I think people forgot it existed

>>105592220 (OP)
This stupid bitch is blocking the view of Ravenwest

>>105597671
holy shit it was actually a legit 4090 for $800 I can't believe it. Everything's working perfect so far.

>>105597735
good starts to the library
just make sure to check price history, most VR games do go on sale regularly but there are a few that never do

>>105597769
benchmark that mf and make sure it's stable
but you just got lucky as hell if you got that for $800

>>105597784
I will be sure to keep that in mind. Again thank you

>>105597769
Now let's ponder why it's only $800

>>105597769
https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
Run HWiNFO and see if the summary matches up to what the card is supposed to be

>>105597718
The current drivers is causing my 7900XTX to max out on Utilization leading to freezes and BSOD. This is some bullshit.

>>105597798
yw
the mod content for Alyx alone is amazing and will give you several dozen hours more shooting fun, although it is kind of still a bit training wheels for gunplay especially versus H3
happy VRing, and stay away from the VRchat thread for that way lies furries and groomers

>>105597718
>>105597837
wow lossless scaling dual GPU feels like fucking ass no matter the base framerate. haha, imagining all those reddit fags saying they have 5090 equivalents with Lossless really makin me bust a gut with laughter right now holy shit the delusion.

>>105597893
>>105597893
>>105597893

>>105597892
wow AMD what the fuck are you doing turning this shit on automatically? multi gpu quirk?

These all look like the same cases I've seen for like 10 years now, and let me guess the thermals are essentially the same too.
Oh but they added skirting boards. Or the front is glass for worse thermals.

Who cares about this shit?

I care.

>>105597954
I think it looks great, I love the wood accents. I'm planning on getting the black one for my build later this year. Pretty sure you can get one without the glass panel too which is what I'll be doing.

>>105595728
What kind of cooler are you using for the CPU?

What the FUCK is even happening with NVIDIAs drivers anymore jesus christ

I don't wanna go Red

>>105598084
Take the third path, embrace team BLUE.

>AMD Ryzen 9
ummm, anti-AMD sisters? How do we explain this one?

i got kinda curious and lurked the archive and holyshit it was real, hes a genuine jew even
truly pottery of the highest caliber
as always antisemitic micro devices win no matter what

some anon said a while ago that the fractal north xl has an AWFUL hum and the stock fans both rattle and do this high-pitched humming even at 40%
well I guess they were right because holy shit this is the loudest case I've ever owned

>>105598276
Is it exclusive to the XL? I was planning on getting the mid tower but now I'm concerned.
