component selection for the least curry pc build?

>>105597893 (OP)
God I wish Rem had been the official AMD mascot. Blue looks so much better than red, I wouldn't be able to resist.

hows Zotac right now?
I can get a 5080 incredibly cheap, 40 dollars more than an asus 5070ti

>>105597922
>https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BhQXBq

>>105598040
just think about it anon, why did evga and xfx leave them

>>105597810

I ran this $800 4090 through some 3D mark tests also, I'll post the results for the other guy asking in the last thread.

>>105598126

>>105598115
>evga
their founder wanted to retire and did not want to see evga going in a direction he didn't approve of

? nothing related to zotac

>>105598129

what does that have to do with zotac?
9070 just performs bad on one of the game I play so it's not a choice

that one has proprietary fans too btw, it's actual dogshit

Building a PC with 9950X3D. What is the equivalent of 6000CL30 for this CPU?

>>105598138
theres areason why its cheaper
just search the archive and look for the anons mentioning 5000 series and zotac
i warned you

Is it worth it to go from 3700x/5700xt to 5700x/9060 xt?
5700x3d is like 2.5x the price of the 5700x.

>>105598245
6000CL30

I took out my GPU to try and clean inside my computer a bit and now I get no display. The GPU turns on cause I see the fans spinning but I get no image. I'm fairly certain I plugged everything back in correctly. There's no weird noises coming from anywhere.

CPU is ryzen 7 5800x
mobo is asus prime b550-plus ac-hes
gpu is msi ventus 3080

>>105597954
seems like they tried to copy the Antec Flux
but the flux already a top tier performer, has normal fans, far easier to build with and there is even a Flux SE with no glass side panel.

is there a clock stretching equivalent for gpu? i was undervolting my gpu and after a certain point there is a drop in performance despite being stable

>>105598040
Zotac this generation is alright. They have some odd cost cutting measures like a BIOS switch press-button rather than a lever so you can't tell visually what mode its in, but otherwise they function fine. Big fat coolers with the non-Core models too so they will be miles ahead of any Ventus you might find.

Is this the most mogged out case released this year?

I just got one and its meh. I heard the Flux Pro came with good fans. I thought the regular Flux fans would at least be decent but they are not good quality and very noisy. The case is good at least.

>>105598329
>ventilated bottom side with bottom fans and no dust filter
Both are garbage you will need to dust once a month or twice a month because of all the dust getting inside

>>105598329
>Is this the most mogged out case released this year?

not even remotely close

I was wondering if this graphics card would improve the performance of my old desktop ever so slightly? I don't have any experience with graphics cards and have always relied on built in graphics.
I heard that a graphics card can improve performance by freeing up a bit of the processor.
This should work on a windows 10, intel i3-3240, 16gb ram, provided I have a big enough power supply?
Also I do know this is a shit card compared to some of you guys battle stations but this pc is pretty much used for email, word processing, web searches and maybe some YouTube.

>>105598355
Lancool 217 difference with the Flux
>proprietary front fans but you can buy replacements for like $5 on Aliexpress directly from Lian Li
>Lancool 217 has an optional dust filter in the box included, the Flux does not
>BTF support, the Flux does not
>can support workstation motherboards, the Flux does not
>no retarded and useless lcd screen that only inflate the price
>you can remove the top panel for easier building process, you can't do that with the Flux
>muitiple position adjustable integrated anti sag GPU, with the Flux you need to get one on your own
>Lancool 217 is $100 cheaper
Unless Lian Li is banned for some reason in your country getting the Flux is just fucking retarded

>>105598355
The two big fans in the 217 are nuch better and quieter too

>>105598380
Forgot the pic, not had my tea yet you see.

>>105598384
you are not forced to use the two big proprietary fans if you don't want, the case come with brackets in the accessory box to mount standard fans

How much longer until the 5000 Super refresh is a thing? The 3GB VRAM is finally coming right?

>>105598384
it also has *two* power buttons but not a reset button, safe to say I'm not falling for such garbage

Case like Flux or 217 are outdated design
Next Lian Li case will copy Deepcool because GPUs now destroys CPU cooling performance in standard case with their exhaust

>>105598426
You know you can tell windows to read the power button input as a reboot input right?

>>105598443
Ok, what if you instead need to force a shutdown and you can only reboot?

>>105598436
>included aio

>>105597893 (OP)
>Workstation/high end: consider 2x32GB

>Case with good stock PWM fans
no recommendations for those needing replacements or just more?
>SSD
No Samsungs? Is 990 Pro bad?

>>105598380
>>105598392
Your computer is using a portion of its ram to run the integrated graphics, probably around 2GB, you can check in task manager for hardware reserved, so it would free that up. But 16GB is plenty for an office PC and video playback is perfectly fine on integrated. It probably won't make any difference. What would make a difference is upgrading the storage, maybe a better SSD?

>>105598459
That's hardware.
Long press (motherboard) should always be a shutdown.

>>105598283
Nevermind, it was my RAM that I didn't properly reseat. You really gotta press those fucking things down.

>>105598498
>video playback is perfectly fine on integrated
The codec kikes have ensured that this is NOT the case.
An older CPU like the i3-3240 doesn't have any acceleration for video decoding even for YouTube these days, it could previously play 4K60 totally fine... with 264, but then they changed codecs to save 0.00002% of bandwidth and now everything without the new codec support has become e-waste tier for no good reason other than 0.00002% bandwidth savings for cloudflare.

The solution is dropping in a modern (codec compliant) discrete GPU of ANY performance class because it's not really a computational limit. It's more of an artificially engineered one. Modern video is basically just new hoops to jump through.

>>105598494
990 pro is the best gen4 drive available

>>105598498
Okay, that makes sense.
The HDD is a 240gb SSD so I assumed that it's alright for speed.
I was originally going to try and upgrade the CPU but I couldn't really see a clearly better one that was compatible with the motherboard.
>>105598523
So are you saying it would be beneficial to put this little GPU in?

>>105598523
Oh right, they use AV1 these days for youtube and that's newer than a third gen. I completely forgot about that.

>>105597893 (OP)
>Lossless scaling dual gpu sucks ass
MFG, Smooth motion, AFMF, FSR 3/4 FG are leagues ahead of Lossless. The people who convince themselves that dual GPU lossless gives them 5090 performance are smoking more crack than Jensen saying a 5070 = 4090. The secondary 9060XT has already been removed. On the bright side, this Gigabyte Gaming 9070XT is performing properly compared to the busted Red Devil.

>>105598472
even if the aio is good i will gladly spend more for the noctua aio when it release
both CPU and GPUs are getting more and more housefire so having a case where GPU hot air isn't choking the CPU so it can boost higher easier will be more than just a minmax

>>105598538
So would it be beneficial to install a GPU then?

>>105598573
A GT 710 is about as old as the rest of your computer, so not that. If you're already on an SSD and still thinking the computer is slow there's not really any sane upgrade paths for such an old build, it's probably better to get something new.

>>105598547
>Gigabyte
>performing properly
Yeah okay

>>105598494
2x64gb is only if you do orchestral music or 8k video editing. 64gb is enough for normal "creators" the next 10 years.

>>105598533
>So are you saying it would be beneficial to put this little GPU in?
If you intend to watch videos or use any online services that aren't 264 or 265 or older codecs, then yeah, probably.
If you're not going to use it then you'll save watts by not using the discrete GPU. If you do occasionally watch videos, sometimes CPU fallback (CPU doing work the GPU would otherwise bypass with acceleration, much slower) can take up the slack without a GPU but the 3240 is barely going to be fast enough for 1080p60 without any dropped frames, let alone higher resolutions like 1440p or so.

You can also try extensions that will tell the service you can't run newer codecs but they might just say fuck you and send you old 264 encodes at a max res of 720p or something.
I would install it if you have it but not sure if it'll help because it's not listed on this page at all
https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

Remember this isn't a (((youtube))) problem necessarily, they're just one of the primary sources of this kind of content. Even downloaded videos will suffer from lack of decoding acceleration so local files/etc will also be hard to run without acceleration.
If you have a NAS or anything with transcoding you can let that handle the work and just leave the GPU out of your PC if you want. Or hunt down something like a 1630.

>>105598538
Not just AV1, even non-accelerated VP9 can bog an older PC down. Especially a dual-core.
Had a friend who had a 970 and he swapped it out for a 750 after he quit gaming because it had the codecs for YouTube despite being an inferior card lmao.

This is my current setup. Yes it was an NZXT custom pre-built.

Ignoring potentially upgrading any other components, is there any worthwhile GPU I should consider upgrading to, assuming I only want to spend ~800 bucks at most (and then plan on selling my current GPU to make back some money for a net loss of like 400)

I currently just use a 4k OLED TV that's only 60hz so high FPS isn't a target but high resolution is

>>105598655
9070xt can get you there if you buy at 700 and sell your 3080 10gb for 300
5070ti will increase your net cost to 450 or so since it's about 150 pricier

>>105598655
>Yes it was an NZXT custom pre-built.

>>105598703

Captcha told me to build a 4 socket AMD PC. Any advices on build?

>>105598748

>>105598655
>Yes it was an NZXT custom pre-built.
Do you actually own it?

>>105598494
990 Pro is as good as the other TLC gen4 drives, some fags just like inserting their schizo vendetta against random manufacturers into the OP.

>>105598703
I don't mind waiting for the best sales either

>>105598717
Yeah it's not my proudest moment

>>105598786
Yeah I'm not that stupid to do that flex shit

I have a pre-built that has 3 8GB DDR4 sticks. However, two of them are 3200MHZ, and one is 3000MHZ.
I've heard that if the speeds are different and or the brands are different, that the RAM will run at its lowest power settings. Is this true?

I.... might.... buy this.... need 4090... in a mobile setting....

>>105598986
why don't you open the bios and see for yourself
a lopsided configuration like that is awful to begin with

>>105599039
How tf do they fit a 4090 in there

>there's no anime girl video card in my country

>>105599053
They don't. It's a 4080 underclocked to 4070 level

After trying multiple different motherboards ASRock is the best and it’s not even close, never choosing another manufacturer ever again, so much wasted time with returns due to shit just not working

>>105599039
>-6200 cuda cores, -8gb vram and -1ghz
is it even a rtx4080 at that point?

>>105599102
It is a 4080. It's between 4070 and 4070 super IF it doesn't throttle from temperature or power limit

Is there anything to note when making a white PC build? Does the material yellow over time like 90's PCs? Do you need to care for it in any way? (I have a white desk table and have to clean it weekly because it looks dirty quite fast)

>>105599273
>Is there anything to note when making a white PC build?
There is manufacture variance in the sort of white that varies product-to-product. You might be forced to source components from a single vendor to minimize this.

>>105597893 (OP)
Are mutli-GPU setups viable in 2025? If so, what's a good mobo for it that doesn't bottleneck the second card?

I want to vrammaxx without paying for a workstation GPU

>>105599178
I don't like X3D, Be Quiet, Asus

>>105599178
Solid, I have similar brands, except for the SSD. 64GB is a meme for now, unless you do heavy rendering stuff. ASUS cards have been too noisy for me, I switched to Sapphire, no complaints here, but they don't make Nvidia cards.

>>105599315
both SLI and CF(X) are dead sadly

>>105599315
They aren't viable at all but still works if you have an older GPU like the rtx3090 or 2080ti. Not sure about AMD's mgpu support.
To minimise GPU bottlenecking, you'd need to find boards that support x8/x8 GPU lanes. But they are quite rare nowadays and only a handful of pricy boards like the strix -E, proart, or extreme OC boards like the apex that have this layout

>>105599359
Unfortunately I don't know which 5080 I'll get. I just picked a random one for that list
>64 GB is a meme
yeah maybe that was a bit overkill but I thought why not
>>105599329
Why is that so anon?

At least it has 4x 3.5" drives

so how tf are you even supposed to choose a psu? how do you know which ones are good or bad?

>>105599741
Bottom intake for 2-3 fans
The problem wit Lancools and Lancools clones is they max out airflow at the cost of filtration so in dusty enviorments you will get your PC covered in it very fast

>>105599720
I've picked out two for you sir, you will choose between those two and then it's done. No more thinking about PSUs.

The first alternative is SeaSonic Focus GX V4 ATX 3 (2024) 850W and the other is MSI MPG A850G PCIE5. You can choose 750w or 1000w instead if that is what you need, but for future proofing (tm) I would suggest to go for 850w even if you don't need it today.

For Seasonic the Core line is the "lower" tier, it's perfectly fine but Focus is one small step up and give you a nicer faggier feeling than if you buy the Core. Vertex is over that and isn't needed for most people.

If you choose the MSI one do not get the A850GL, there are no small japanese people in that one.

>>105598573
Get a 1030 GDDR5 or a cheap used 1650 or smth. Those can playback any modern codec, 4k video and multiple displays.

>>105599720
Don't care about brands, just read the 12v amps spec sheet and always buy single rail over multi rail. 7900xtx spec sheet says you need a PSU with at least >65A on 12V so that narrows down the choices by a lot. PSUs of that spec are all 750w platinum or 850+w gold.

>>105599847
Then just buy those? You are running a power hungry car of course you will need a bigger PSU. The guy recommended Seasonic because those tend to last lifetimes, and have the smallest tendency to just have random manufacturing defects.

>>105599863
I am saying read the spec sheets and ignore brands. It's the same with graphics cards too. Memory bandwidth, vram, rops, and pixel fillrate are king in GPU-Z. You cant beat math and science the raw numbers. Buy and get what you pay for instead of buying on feeling and "what he said". This is computer building as in you understand how computers work not just how to assemble them like a construction worker monkey.

>>105599994
Unfortunately not everyone has the time, effort or intelligence to research those thing you said. That's why independent reviewers are important, to tell normies what to and what not to buy. Furthermore, there are things (I'm saying quality control issues, false labels etc) that can only be uncovered by reviewers who have the means to buy large sample sizes and testing equipment.
This is also the reason why corporate shills are the bane of modern computing.

>>105599720
Just buy what HWBusters recommends. That site is ran by the same guy who runs Cybenetics. They actually test the power supplies unlike 80 plus.

MSI's Mystic Light: why does this thing keep resetting the color animation cycle of whatever I set it to? I have set multiple components to Wave mode and to cycle between gold and no-light for a slower "breathing" animation. However whenever the CPU is processing ANYTHING it will frequently reset the cycle by going to the last shown color, it can happen several times in a row so it looks like it is slowly flickering. Should I just use another RGB control entirely? Mind, this doesn't affect the CPU temp mode, which I guess overrides this issue by always issuing the command for a specific temperature rather than interrupting the current animation cycle.

>>105600101
Use signal or openrgb if you aren't using bleeding edge hardware

>>105600138
It's bleeding edge hardware, definitely not because my CPU is choking or anything. It's almost as if Mystic Light is issuing a refresh command on the component constantly to apply new instructions for the color pattern. This happens even on a fresh restart; the colors are all loaded right but then they'll start flickering again on any kind of "load". Guess I'll have to look at those two other options if fiddling around with settings doesn't resolve this.

>>105598547
lossless is more useful for emulation or to upscale old games to 4k. Often these games have issues with scaling, and glitch when running above 60 fps, which is where the scaling and framegen become useful.

Is there a fan hub that lets you control each fan individually instead of matching them all to the same signal ?

been researching for the last 4 nights, anyone wanna sling some mud before I click buy?

I'll upgrade when AVX 10.2 and APX cpus are available.

fire hazard

So what site do I use to actually put all these components together? I'm not doing it myself, don't bother suggesting that.

Is there a reason people hate NZXT or is it just "muh you can technically do this yourself for free if you spend 100 hours researching everything"?

sorry im retarded and didn't read. use a system integrator like cyberpower or ibuypower. Starforge does custom nicer looking PCs but you pay streamer tax. NZXT gets flak just because youtubers hate them for making a "rental pc option". they make perfectly fine PCs and hardware. sorry for the mixup

>>105598655
i would say since the 9070 series and 5070 series are not a big upgrade over the 3080, I would wait for them to get cheaper

>>105600579
pcpartpicker - it is retard-proof and once you pick either cpu or mobo, it won't show you incompatible shit. it will also do a power usage calculation for you - so you will appropriately fit your psu. with psu just give yourself some headroom to not run that under stress all the time (i.e. your build estimates to ~500w -> just get 750/850 gold+ psu). most psus are also at their peak efficiency between 40-60% utilization.
and assembling everything together is no harder than doing lego.

>>105600598
Exploding PSUs and have been tested to have awful efficiency. Seasonic and Corsair remain on top and are silent.

Fellow /g/entoomen, I'm afraid that God Himself wants me not to buy a new PC. Yesterday when I was picking up parts, an local DoD alert was issued to my area (drill). Then when I was about to pay up, there was a power outage (unrelated huh?), making me lose all selected parts. Today my parents messed up a transaction (not too much cash, but not little either). And there were strange occurrences last time that I tried, too (months ago). Damn Kami-sama, please do not riddle me

>>105601145
When I want to do something and then weird shit starts happening (like, somehow stopping me from doing it) - I noticed that it is best to actually stop and rethink whatever it is I wanted to do. It is bad idea to fuck around with fate anon.

gentlemen I need help
i've been searching for pc screens for a literal month, and simply no existing screen fits my criteria.

I'm an illustrator and I play games (automation games that really benefit from the high refresh rate). For these two things I need
>maximum color accuracy and contrast
>144hz
>IPS
Now this is optional, but I'd really like to go for
>32" or more
>4k

Latency up to 5ms is acceptable.
Is it possible to find a screen that matches all of these criteria? my budget is 1k, but of course the cheaper the better.
Sorry to ask to be spoonfed, but the combination of not finding anything in stock, and screen models being All named LG30192 and LG30191 (while being completely different) drove me insane. Is my only option LG32GQ950-B?

>>105601227
actually, no, nevermind, the one i linked is also out of stock here

Any modern full towers with 3-4+ front 5.25 bays that I can buy?

I want to get a second monitor, that'll be my main one. what can I read about so I don't get scammed? use case is programming first, this I want it wide and with good vertical size as well. secondary use is torrented movies in blueray 4k. so where can I read about the avvailable tech, its drawbacks, etc, fe I don't want nothing to get burned in. wat do?

How bad are modern stock coolers? I'm thinking about a 7600 non-X, since it's only 65W TDP will stock be fine, or are stock coolers still loud as hell?

>>105601227
>high refresh rate
>144hz

>>105601358
> I don't want nothing to get burned in. wat do?
no OLEDS. Some shills will claim they fixed burn in and while they can be longer lasting now OLEDs use organic material which will degrade over time. Especially UI elements from your IDE or editor I can imagine would burn in easily.
IPS have decent colours, viewing angle and response times but shit contrast, backlight bleeding and IPS glow when displaying black.
VA have better contrast than IPS but worse viewing angle (this is why they tend to be curved) and response times. IPS glow isnt there a problem and backlight bleeding shouldn't be noticeable but they can suffer from ghosting.
Both IPS and VA have miniLED variants but I cant remember the downsides there. I faintly remember something about halo effect and blooming.
TNs are for competitive gaming cause of response times but if you want to watch bluerays stay away from them.

>>105601371
small fan: lower airflow > need to spin faster > more noise
larger fan: higher airflow > can to spin slower > less noise
stock coolers might become more efficient at transferring heat from components, but in order to dissipate that heat they keep on using small fans, which are always going to be loud compared to 120/140 no matter what

my graphics card does not show up in the device manager, whats the best course of action?

the GPU is brand new, fresh installed windows, gpu lights up but fans do not spin

mainboard is posting 43 post code

Is now a good time to build a PC

>>105601498
We need more specifics like what kind of card, PSU, MOBO etc....otherwise we can just say your card is cooked and hopefully you can return it.

>>105601515
i'm waiting since 2015 - not yet. next generation of gpus and am6 are definitely gonna make it this time

ngl the Lian Li Lancool 217 looked ugly af to me with weirdass fans all over it

>>105601498
>gpu lights up but fans do not spin
I learned recently that for some GPUs this is an indicator that the 12V connector isnt correctly seated. Using the adapter or having the 12V cable not correctly seated would turn the LED on while it's intended to be off.

>>105601488
appreciated, now I know to stay away from oleds, ips and TNs

>>105601542
VAs suck too with terrible ghosting

>>105598246
You can look up issues for any card brand if you want.
Unless you have hard stats on why Zotac is worse.

>>105601548
For coding and movies VA might be just right but it's really a matter of taste. My preferred choice is IPS cause I dont mind BLB and IPS glow that much and more expensive panels suffer less from it.

>>105601534
if the card had no power then the display wouldnt be turned on right? My power supply is 1000W and has a GPU cable without needing the adaptor

>>105601707
>display wouldnt be turned on right
my GPU has a mini-siplay on the side I mean. The Monitor does not turn on when it's connected to the GPU, but works when plugged into the Motherboard directly

>>105601719
>the GPU actually has a LCD display
wtf. I'm wondering if the PCIe slot could sufficiently supply it.

Bought this monitor earlier. What am I in for? No reviews so far, this lad released last month I believe

>>105601498
you sure you inserted the gpu fully into the pcie slot?

>>105601775

>>105601754
idk well, should I remove the power supply cable to test?

>>105601780
yeaaah pretty sure

but actually scratch what I said about post code 43, the motherboard just displays the core temperature there in case there is no post code. 43 was a coincidence, it displays nothing now that I switched it to "post code only"

>>105601816
well there's your problem it's all upside down

>>105601636

best gpu cooling you can get

>>105601821
indeed

>>105601808
Yeah. I've looked at what the differentonitor types offer and IPS seemed fitting for me. A fast variant of it sounds even better

>>105601816
does your cpu have onboard graphics?
take out the gpu from the slot and see if you get an image with just the cpu graphics

>>105601816

>>105601822
I like right's look more

My Idle power draw went down 40 watts when I plugged my side monitors into the 9800x3d's iGPU. I don't understand why multi monitor configs with nvidia cards are so power hungry

>>105601378
144hz is great. Back to your 1080p shit 'e-sports' games lad.

Oh, I just realized I need a new PSU for my 5090 arriving on Friday. My current one doesn't have the 12+4 connection. This is getting expensive.

Do people actually believe that AMD is going to release a 9080/9090?

what's the point of DLDSR?

>>105601884
they are so retarded to do it and piss off everyone who already bought a 9070XT because they never said a better RDNA4 card was releasing so they will 100% make atleast a 9080XT and make sure people will never buy UDNA1 because they will expect the better card (and will not come out)

>have to add custom res of 161hz instead of 160hz in cru because nvidia drivers are still stupid and broken as fuck

>>105601636
neither
Wait HAVN BF360 for air cooling or DeepCool CL6600 for aio both coming out around september

>>105601835
thanks anon but it's actually correct from my perspective because it's flat on a desk

>>105601833
yes of course, I'm working with the CPU for now and it works fine. I did all the windows updates, chipset drivers, just can't get the GPU to work

when I plug my monitor into the GPU I get no display, only from the motherboard

>>105601780
>>105601754
when the GPU is not inserted into the PCIe slot, the display does not turn on. I think the GPU is installed correctly, i just can't get it to work

Do I have to use a monitor which has a display port driver, otherwise the GPU ignores it? I'm testing with an old HDMI monitor...

>>105601914
the expo/docp proflie is the set and forget setting, the only other options is manual oc

>>105601884
>>105601899
Releasing a high end flagship after you categorically told consumers you weren't going to do that is so retarded. It's absolutely something AMD would do.

>>105601930
yours might be defective, idk. my 5090 aorus master just works

>>105601870
Ohh, I see now. Thank you.

I'm just gonna buy a new PSU with a native connection. I don't want to risk anything.

>>105601966
does it show up in the device manager even when there's no monitor plugged into the GPU?

>>105601822
Depends, the left one is more sci fi, right is more slightly gay professor at a state school who thinks he works at Harvard

>>105601930
>Do I have to use a monitor which has a display port driver, otherwise the GPU ignores it? I'm testing with an old HDMI monitor...
I vaguely remember running into an issue like that before.

>>105601994
this is nerve wrecking, shouldnt the GPU just show up in the BIOS or something else I can test? the GPU is clearly powered

>>105601890
It's a more general version of DLSS in that it doesn't need to be trained on game data, it only focuses on resolution and image quality, DLSS does other shit with game data to reconstruct its image and improve performance.

>>105601930
Do you have another 12V cable you can use? Make sure it's properly seated. The 12V-2X6 has shortened sensing pins which are used to determine if the cable is connected properly.

>>105601978
Not being funny, the bigger risk comes with not using the adapter bro.

What's the use case for mid towers?

>>105601890
its supposed to replace their old VSR/DSR tech. back in the day they advertised DSR with Dark Souls 2 how it made the image quality better for grass and fur. now its DLSSified.

>>105602034
no, I only have the one that came with the Power Supply. Should I try the adapter?

>>105602048
You want your components to breath but you don't want a coil whine echo.

>>105601890
To put unnecessary load on your rtx4090 or 5090 because games are too easy to run and gain slightly improved image quality

>>105602013
i dont know about msi motherboards but all decent uefi bios should be able to detect your nvme/gpu now. my old ass gigabyte board does this.

>>105602048
Space, aesthetics, but actually usable without burning your house down. Aka, the one to go for.

>>105601987
yes

Lads I just restarted my pc and then it gave me no signal or power to my keyboard but all my fans were spinning and then my GPU fans went to max speed and stayed there. Took me a while and I had to use the restart button on my MOBO to get it all working again any ideas wtf this problem was?

>>105602122
where would the GPU show up in the bios if it is detected?

>>105602130
man, leaning towards broken GPU now

>>105602162
could be a bios setting, could be a faulty PSU. if ur pc starts randomly shutting off its the later

>>105601865
you can't use 170mm fans anywhere else

how do you deal with fan hum resonance?

>>105602162
If your GPU fans run at max speed it means it failed to post. As for why it could be ram training error, BIOS error, whatever.

>>105602176
On my gigabyte board under peripherals it shows NVME configuration and AMI graphics output protocol policy. If you select NVME it shows you all your NVME drives if they are working or not. If you select the AMI it says the video card name BIOS. I have a 7900xtx so it would say the code name which is NAVI31.

Is it worth it to return my Asus Prime 5070ti and getting a PNY 5070TI OC? I'd say about $100, but unsure how much worse or better either card is.

I have a 9800X3D. How can I tell if my PBO/undervolt is actually in effect? Any software solutions? I set it and left it at -25 a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I had to turn off USB wake/enable ERP (lol) and rechecked the PBO settings and it was apparently at 0 this whole time when I'm certain I saved the settings at -25. I don't want to go back and benchmark before/after settings again but is that the only way?

>>105602246
Not worth it both the same basically

Running any good GPU overclocks?

>>105602188
Why these fans are a problem? they are good fans that move a lot of air and are quiet you have zero reason to replace them and the case is $80-100 cheaper than Flux pro which has both worse fans and less features for 1 degree difference on average

>>105602247
Use PBO2Tuner or Ryzen Master. If you edit PPT/TDC/EDC in there or BIOS it should show up in Hwinfo64 as well. You can change it in real time without reboot so monitor while testing.

>>105602247
Did you try to do it with Pajeet Master? It will fucking reset when you turn the PC off if you don't change a specific setting but you should always do it from the BIOS
>>105602266
retard

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.
For anyone who owns a 5080/5090, can you turn the fans down below 30% rpm?

>>105602285
You can edit it in real time why reboot?

>>105602312
Because Ryzen Master is garbage

>>105602317
Again, you can edit it in real time. You don't have to use Ryzen Master. Are you slow? You stupid?

>>105602297
Yes, use Afterburner and set "Override zero fan speed with hardware curve" and it'll set it.

>>105602285
Nah, did it both times through BIOS. PBO scalar isn't showing up in HWiNFO either. Guess I'll download Ryzen Master just to check if it's actually on but I'm not gonna enable it through it.

What fig should I buy to put in my case?

>>105602297
I have a 5070ti. Nvidia locks the minimum fan speed to 30%. But it doesn't mean it's 30% rpm of your fans. It's actually a fixed rpm. In my case I replaced stock fans with 140mm noctua fans but it shows 1400 rpm and 30% speed in gpuz despite the max rpm for my noctua fans are 1500 rpm. So no, there's a minimum rpm you and can't go lower than that.

>>105602359
You sure you actually saved the setting and didn't exit the bios without saving?

>>105602372
100%. If my BIOS settings didn't save last night, then my computer would've definitely been on this morning because my mouse would've woken it up (yeah I disabled wake through device manager and all that; enabling ErP through BIOS was the only solution).

>>105602368
0% rpm is possible on a 5070ti.

>>105602095
If you have enough 8 Pins on your PSU go ahead and try the adapter. Just keep in mind to not daisy chain. I dont know how the display is implemented but the PCIe slot can provide up to 75w so it's hard to tell if the cable works.

>>105602227
Hmm it just did it again, I just ran a game and after a couple min of playing everything went black and my GPU fans started going full speed and all the rest of the case fans including the CPU cooler fans kept spinning like normal but no signal to the monitors or power to my keyboard until I restarted. I checked settings in the BIOS just now so I'll try updating to the latest BIOS and see if that helps at all.

>>105602338
Does that let you set it to something like 20% or does it just jump straight to 0%?

>>105602395
And what does that achieve?

Does lossless frame gen at 120 to 240fps look good enough with low enough latency?
I just wanna play 120fps cap games at 240hz
I remember lossless being pretty bad at 60 to 120 and 30 to 60

>>105602413
Straight to zero but you can have it set to a certain temp after you enable your fans. so like 10% for 40c and it'll climb gradually. It's all tweakable.
>>105602416
No noise when PC is idle + fans don't wear down as fast when they're not running at all as well as less dust buildup when they aren't blowing air. it's optimization basically..

>>105602427
"Good enough" is entirely subjective. Just get lossless scaling from some place for free and test it out yourself.

>>105602427
>frame gen
lol

>>105602413
you can also set it to always be running at 10%, i just tried it out

>>105602438
For my 5070ti it idles at 0% and jumps to 30% under load. There's no in between and you can't modify it in afterburner or fan control.

>>105601865
>no 420mm radiator support
>no front radiator support

>>105602474
guess it just depends on the AIB

>>105602408
nah I dont have enough, my power supply has a dedicated cable for that and I dont have other ones to use the adapter

>>105602494
Oh well. Assuming the cable works did you check the BIOS? Any PCIe slot settings or anything?

Worth buying a used Ryzen 5 5600/5600X for ~$100, or should I buy it new for ~$130?

>>105602475
>>no front radiator support
217? It does, you can take off the big fans, install the optinal included brackets and now you can mount 3 standard fans or a radiator
>>no 420mm radiator support
No one needs one anyways, 360 is all you need

>>105602411
>I just ran a game and after a couple min of playing everything went black and my GPU fans started going full speed

That's a power supply issue then.

>>105602506
>Assuming the cable works did you check the BIOS
well, no the GPU isnt listed anywhere in the BIOS, how would I check that?

>>105602564
By plugging it in properly.

>>105602561
Yea, I'm using a single 12VHPWR 16-pin to power my gpu and it goes right into my PSU, I'm wondering if I should get the cable that has the splitters and use that instead to power the gpu.

>>105602583
the gpu is getting power through the PCIe slot, I'm pretty damn sure it's plugged in correctly

how would I check if the power cable from the power supply to the GPU is broken or plugged in correctly?

>>105602564
There should be something related to PCIe subsystem but I never had issues like this so hard to tell. Just some stuff I picked up while reading around.

>>105602297
5090 aorus master anon here
It's either 0% or 30% on the low end of fan rpm. No Nvidia GPUs I've owned to date (galax and mostly Asus/gigabytes) allows 1-29% fan speeds

>>105602617
Get hwinfo64 and check the 12vhpwr voltage sensor under the GPU section. It should be between 11.4v to 12.6v
