im thinking of getting a newer 16gb gpu and finally going 4k oled. am i cooked? i built the pc in 2013 but upgraded the gpu to the current one in 2018 btw, so the gpu is already the newest component apart from the extra drives i installed over the years

4th gen intel ain't running modern games bro.

>>105609371
there are more stutters than a modern pc would have but i run rdr2 online, cs2 and rts games released in the last few years at max settings 60fps. ironically i struggle the most in UE5 slop games and gmod out of all games, the gamemodes have become so bloated that the system i used to run gmod all the time a decade ago now struggles to do so.
im a thirdie btw and i would love to play all the games im playing right now but in 4k oled

Just so you know Samsung already showed off their 5K QD OLED back in January and many models based on the panel are expected to be released at the beginning of next year around CES time which should a few steps better in sharpness and get a bump in full-field brightness up to 300 nits which is finally on par with the norm for most non-MiniLED LCDs instead of just ~250 nits of current models . For their part LG are likely to begin production on a true RGB 4K OLED model late this year, again for release early next year as well so if investing in a new high-end monitor is a major deal for you, it might not be worth blowing your load right now unless and until there is a really good discount on one during Black Friday.

If you are retarded enough to run it on 100% brightness non-stop with a still image then you really deserve it.

>>105609410
to be honest im still a noob when it comes to this. i finally got an ips to replace my tn screen back in 2018 and the difference was immediately obvious (later got a 144hz VA as the ips was 75hz). i just want a similar upgrade. also makes me salty how new phones all have very high ppi oled screens while im stuck on a 1080p non oled

>>105609415

>>105609428
NTA but I got asus pg27ucdm. 4k 27" and it's great. I doubt I would notice a difference between that and 5k 27" pixel density.
Also, it's easier for GPU to handle 4k.

>>105609333
couple of questions. I vaguely remember someone saying to avoid TUF GAMING stuff but that may have just been for monitors, should I not care for other stuff like motherboards?
Also I have a Ryzen 5 5600 6-core already, and was just picking based on the OP rec. Should I even bother rebuilding and just get a new gpu? Or is what you put in that listed worth upgrading for?

>>105609522
TUF is asus budget stuff.

>>105609522
Asus boards are fine IF you disable all their bloatware in the BIOS before installing Windows. Armoury Crate, Ai Suite, My Asus etc. I remember I saw a video on youtube about so search there.

>>105609432
I don't have an OLED monitor but our OLED TV has so much shit burnt in it's insane to me how you can sell them for such a high amount of money. I came to the conclusion to never buy OLED, it is just not worth the risk to me.
>>105609435
OLED will probably be the kind of upgrade you want and I don't want to tell you out of it if you really want one. I just know that I can't fully enjoy games / movies when I see stuff on screen that just manifested itself there permanently.

Why the fuck is this acceptable in the 9070xt.

Chips can handle 110 degrees before you really need to worry about it. Yes it is still
>warm and toasty
but it's clear the gpu was designed with those things in mind. Most people won't be looking at the temps.

>>105609683
Is it the same for B850?

>>105609700
Probably, if I remember correctly the difference between the asus 650 and 850 is pcie 5 x16 and Wifi 6e or 7 instead of Wifi 6, the bios should be sameish

I think my Tower's power button might be broken. It blinked this morning when I tried to rouse it from sleep but it isn't responding. I durned off the power for a while and back on hoping that would do something but It doesn't.
Is there a way to turn the thing on forcefully? Get an external power switch from somewhere? Do something to the pins to effectively hotwire it? I never turned on "boot on power in the BIOS" so that doesn't work. I tried unplugging the power switch from the MB and back in but it still doesn't work.
The tower is from bequiet and the MB is an MSI B550-A pro.

>>105609678
The Antec Flux Pro.

>>105609627
Hotspot on my 6800XT is 93°C. The internet says that anything below 110°C is fine and if reaches 110°C it throttles itself automatically. I wouldnt be worried as long as you stay below 100°C. Just make sure your case has good airflow

>>105609627
most chips hotspot at 90-95C, my 2070 super used to hotspot at 95C and my current RX 6950xt hotspots at 90C

What would happen if I don't use any cooler or fans?

How is it ironic that your PC struggles with UE5 games? That’s exactly what you would expect for a CPU from over a decade ago.

>>105609946
I saw a parade recently that makes that sound unimpressive

>>105609942
You can survive with no case-fans, CPU'd run for like 5 seconds, then shut off.

>>105609627
You’re not guaranteed anything other than stock performance. Every AIB would laugh in your face if you tried to RMA because you can’t hit an undervolt/overclock. FWIW, my 9070 xt can’t even reliably hit -10mV.

Im still adamant about OLED flickering. Many reviewers only look at white rgb max values for measuring flickering. Some also reduce monitor brightness but still use rgb max values white, a white image to measure flickering. And yes its true on these values oleds dont flicker. But now look at picrel 31 rgb values and you can clearly see how OLED flickers (turns black) with each frame update. Reviewers are just so fucking dumb they test OLEDs like they test LCDs which is fucking dumb

Good enough?

>>105610011
To further my point: OLEDs do ABL dimming which destroys your gamma curve. OLEDs have per-pixel screen uniformity errors destroying your fine detail gradation. And then also OLEDs need per pixel warmup which means that going from complete black to higher values creates delays or spikes in response which is non-uniform with the rest of the screen creating eye cancer.

>>105610051
Right, forgot these existed.

>>105610011
phones are the same
iirc apple oleds have the least flickering issues because apple tunes their displays differently from how samsung (and probably LG) likes to do it (with pwm)

Desktop users don’t even want more than 16 cores, let alone 48 of them. Even AMD is going to max out at like 32 cores for consumers next gen. Most of the top ten sold CPUs on Amazon are 6 and 8 core models and that includes the high end gaming chips. High core count is just stupid.

If it's still Arrow Lake based it may not help all that much. Intel's ace in the hole through Raptor Lake was their monolithic structure that allowed for superior latency backed by a cheaper (for them) vertically integrated process. ARL both of that away for basically nothing in return.

52 CORES OF PURE AYYMDEAD KILLING POWER

I was using a 55 inch hisense uh8 TV as my display. It was pretty good, blacks are deep, colors are bright, response time is good, goes up to 120hz (but I usually just run it in 60hz mode) but then after just one year it's starting to develop the blue spot issue, which, if you don't know, is when the backlight LED array starts turning blue in certain spots. It's not reversible and repairs usually tend to cost as much as a new unit.
All these years avoiding OLEDs because of burnin and this is like the third display i've had develop these blue fucking spots and bands so what's the point of avoiding one issue if I'll just get caught in another just as frequently?
If I went with a display instead of a TV would I be better off on lifespan?
Also going from 55 to like 20-30 inch display sounds pretty fucking jarring if I'm being honest with you so I just don't really know where to turn for a decent reliable display under a thousand bucks.

>>105610752
I think she's already good for the rest of her life.

I have that same TV and it's going well for now. I need the size, so when mine dies I plan on getting another TV. If they made monitor in 60 inch I'd buy one in a heartbeat but they don't. The sad part is response time has pretty much stalled around 6ms for TVs and no one seems to push further. Even OLED. It's not a function 99 percent of buyers care about.

when you are on smeary VA slop does not count

>>105611336
I personally don't care much about response time sub 10ms to be honest with you but I don't really play fighting games so it never affected me.
I'm just so annoyed right now trying to find a replacement digging through TVs and displays and it's slowly starting to piss me off. All this spreadsheet comparing. I'm 38 so I unfortunately grew up in an environment where shit was made to last so I'm really averse to planed obsolescence. This is the third time I'm replacing a "perfectly good" tv because of this backlight bullshit and it's starting to wear on me. And I can't just get any ol' OLED because I don't work a 9 to 5, so my standard usage isn't 4-5 hours a day evenly spread out across the week. I work a 12 hour nights with rotating shifts so I go in cycles of 3 work days, 2 off days, 2 work days, 3 off days. So when I use my PC it's pretty spartan 2-3 day runs of like 10 hours gaming, 10 hours browsing the web, even when I sleep on off days I have videos playing and shit in the background. I'm basically kryptonite to OLEDs and it's making it hard as fuck to find a decent TV.

>>105611382
>was that tv from 2022? 3 year life span sounds low yes
I think so, I've literally had it for one year. I bought it June 8th last year. And it's just started doing this shit today (picrel)
>you fell for the lcds last forever meme
I literally never heard of that meme, and this is like the third TV I've gone through with phosphor wearing off on the LEDs so I definitely don't believe they last forever. But I think tech shouldn't be this fucking disposable.
>buy buy a S90D, S90F, S95D, S95F, LG C4, LG G4
>55" try to get samsung open box deals, if the coating is damaged you can just wet paper method peel it off

>>105611382
>any eye strain
I have monitor only for a week. No eye strain no nothing. It is great. No ghosting, no text fringing (that I noticed). Picture is crisp clear.
>have you compared to ppi to a 32" qd?
I haven't, I just ordered 27" because I read a lot that 32" ppi is too low for oled. Text isn't as clear as on 27".
Not sure how useful this gonna be, but 27" feels kinda small. But I'm coming from ultra wide (49" ultra wide). I was considering second monitor to compensate size, but the more I use single monitor the more I like it. Makes me less distracted and more focused on what I'm doing right now.

Do people really buy used GPUs? I plan to change my GPU with a 5090 at some point and sell my 5070 TI but I'm not sure who would buy one. I mean, personally I never buy anything used at it feels disgusting. I want new products. But still, I wonder how likely it would be to sell it

>>105611760
The only PC component I buy used are greenpeace hard drives or a case. But absolutely nothing related to processing tasks.

That.

What are your thoughts on picrel? [spoiler]Chat-GPT[/spoiler] says it's a WOLED which it claims is more resistant to burnin but I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

does your PC usage actually affect your monthly power bill and by how much?
My system draws about 100W total on idle but I have the CPU and GPU at maximum performance mode so they never downclock.

>>105611900
>does your PC usage actually affect your monthly power bill and by how much?
Why would it not?

Is there any data on the idle power consumption of Zen 5 CPUs? Can anyone with a Zen 5 chip here post a screenshot of their package power?

>>105611960
is that the same as ptm 7950?

>>105611977
No, the ptm is a sheet that softens at higher temps and you need like 2 months before it settles in to get the optimal performance out of it, kryo you just slap in and it works and it doesn't make a mess. It's not magical though, it wont give you much better performance than a decent paste with good spread. I ended up using Thermalright TFX paste (actually better) because my GPU wasn't compatible with the 0.2mm clearance for the sheet.

>he builds

Bros I really hope my PC comes until Wednesday because Thursday is a holiday here. So no work that day but I can't enjoy it if it isn't here by then. I'd rather go to work on Thursday and come home to my package than having it arrive on Friday, or God forbid, Saturday!!

Alri lads?
Figured I'd give you all a little update since we like to see peoples builds progress.
I got myself some cheap ram to upgrade from 4 to 16gb and I also got an i7 3ghz processor from eBay to replace the i3 2.5ghz one.
The processor is not soldered and the ram comes out just like the anons said, cheers for that.
I was going to replace the ram today but I forgot to pick up the alcohol for cleaning the thermal paste while at work so it'll have to wait until tomorrow.
I wanted to test the performance before and after each upgrade (I'll share the results) to see what if the upgrades have worked etc. what's the best site you guys use?

Whats the point of amd if you care about anything other than games with an x3d-something?

>>105610893
Just took my PC back from the shop with the new PSU.
But when connecting, it somehow doesn't recognize my drives, which somewhat inhibits booting.
I have 2 "drives" connectors at the PSU for 2 cables that connect up to 4 drives each in line. I only got 3 SATA drives. How do I do it? The last one in the line remains free or the first one in the line remains free? Or is there another reason my drives aren't appearing? I checked the data connection.

A 9800x3d will beat a 10900k in everything right? Even with lower core count?

Actually, AMD was always make more cores meme. The thing is, with zen architecture, they actually made it work. And now everyone wants more cores.

>I've gone through like a dozen samsungs and LGs and they all had horrible ghosting and dead pixel issues, I don't really have any confidence in my
oleds don't have ghosting though just the persistence blur
dead pixels? rng and return your panel + oled pixels are probably more prone to dying over time but that is years down the line

>Not when considering my usage scenarios.
I would still get an oled, they are cheap enough, 1000% if you force me to get a tv, how could you game on a VA tv?

>>105611460
it's really hard to see fringing on 140ppi qdoled already but 166ppi I have not seen yet
>but 27" feels kinda small.
that is the question...

>>105611798
>I cant use Oled!
>How about this oled?
at this point you are trolling
if you want ultrawide get the LG 45GX950A I guess
but it will be inferior to all high end tvs I already mentioned that you can buy, especially the qdoleds, and if you want a 55" you are the sweet spot where they actually deliver all the brightness they can because of the size limitations, specifically on LG
literally nothing will be better than a S95F/S95D/S90F/S90D/G4/C4 in 55" this order from best to worst
that is if you are in USA where the S90D/F come in QDOLED panels in the 55" range

>Woled more resistant to burn in
can't really tell with these modern displays yet idk

Anyone else just thinking curved monitors are stupid?

>>105609274
It's probably a regional variant of the MPG 274URF-QD, a decent 4K 27" IPS monitor.
Hardware-emulated sRGB and other presets are fine ootb, can't do much better for the sub $400 price range in the US.

They've always been a meme.

>>105613029
>>I cant use Oled!
>>How about this oled?
>at this point you are trolling
I said my use case scenario isn't ideal for Oleds, and then where I asked about the Oled I specifically said that I looked at it because I was given info that it's more resistant to the problems I expect to face.
Not everyone is trolling, sometimes you're just shit at comprehension.

>>105613103
Curved and ultrawide are the biggest memes

>>105609959
Do not slander The Ultimate Force™.
TUF motherboards and graphics cards are fine feature-wise, they used to be the best base-tier GeForce cards to buy.
You did well if you bought a TUF RTX 30/40 card @ MSRP.
TUF motherboards have better cooling than Prime with some PCIe lane improvements.

>>105613203
If you're going flat why not just get a mini-led with local dimming and have all the shit of an oled with a negligible decline in color quality in exchange for never having to worry about burnin?

>>105613240
>buy from reputable seller
>get extra 4-5 year warranty or whatever the stuff
>buy a qdoled and run it non stop
>get the best image quality
>get the warranty
>win win
it literally is this simple

is woled less prone to burn in? idk alot of it is related to software and the refresh algos too depending on unit and the newer the better
monitors are also way gimped compared to tvs so they should last with more abuse, maybe? but they are also way more dim

>>105613331
There's not a single miniLED monitor with a top-class local dimming algorithm, some anon noted most of these panels & systems are made by AUOptronics.
You're either getting backlight blooming or dim highlights, and it's encouraged to disable the local dimming zones when you're viewing SDR content (turn off the feature you paid for most of the time).

>>105613275
As a tuf chad to be, I approve of this message.

>>105613391

Is there a "best" overall thermal paste, and if so what is it?

anyone have experience with KTC monitors? i've never heard of them, but i'm looking for a second monitor for media watching, general browsing. can i do better for a 27" 1440p monitor under $200 USD?

>>105613485
that's the least important thing in your build
1-2c temp difference does not matter from a generic paste vs extreme oc paste
if it comes from a reputable brand or with your cooler its enough

>>105613357
From what I remember WOLEDs use white light and then filter the wavelengths to create the desired colour whereas QD OLED has a blue light emitter with some layer that transformed the wavelengths instead. I think the consequence out of this was that WOLEDs could just pass through white light whereas QD OLED needs to emit red, green and blue to recreate white and thus potential leading to faster burn in? In return however the colours of QD OLED were better or something like this cause you don't filter wavelengths. I also faintly remember reading somewhere that blue LEDs are the fastest to wear off but no idea if this is right and is related to this in any way so take it with a grain of salt.

Is 4gay worth it?

>>105613511
yea woled is a white subpixel and qdoled is rgb and needs all subpixels to create white
all panels are improved every gen and with software and firmware so kinda pointless make a decision here
maybe you should be more worried about clusters of pixels dying after 4-5 years over burn in
least of your worries

KTC is legit. Their panels are used in Samsung and Dell. Now they are selling it themselves.

I'm done being a waitfag, just ordered a Zotac Solid RTX 5070. It's coming on Wednesday. I feel liberated not having to think about what I'm going to upgrade anymore. If it lasts 3 years, same as the warranty, I'll be satisfied.
Thanks for reading my blogpost.

Just because you've got cock in your mouth doesn't give you the right to put your words in mine. I said shit that I wanted to say, if you can't process it say you can't process it. Don't pretend I said something else or that I "implied" something because your hick ass can't understand basic English written clearly.

>>105613603
Holy based...

>>105613573
Then you need an Astral but enjoy the ASUS support if anything happens. I have the ASUS PSU together with an Astral but the cable with the GPU first pins goes above 9.2A for me and I could only see this cause of the Astral software. Asked ASUS for a replacement cable and they told me I should contact my vendor and replace the whole PSU.

>>105613603
>5070

>>105613618
with a 5080?

>>105613619
youre laughing at the 5070 but I guarantee that card will make it to the steam top charts withing a few months
its the only "midrange" card that is widely available and sells at or under the msrp in most of the world

>>105613603
>5070

>>105613627
I have a 5090 and it only happened at 600w. 5080 is saver but like I said the feature only ensures that you have stable 12V taking away the priority from the CPU as they describe it. They do this by branching from two of the cables you slot into a special two pin slot. Looks more like a gimmick than a feature.

>>105613659
hmmm
i'm gonna do some more research
but i've already found a bunch of 5080s, angled cables, adapters, doesn't matter which one

>>105613603
> new card, what do you think?

>>105613607
You insinuated that because oled picture is more clear than a monitor or tv with a VA panel I would could not appreciate it because (allegedly) I am not an esports professional

Now for my coup de grâce, let's us both analyze the following imagery I have attached here, which image do you prefer? You can't lie.

If you pick right side you forfeit the argument and I have won, if you pick the left, you are delusional.

>>105613669
The 5080 should have a good amount of head room. Unless you have a really bad cable it shouldn't melt cause it's hard to slot the newer 12V-2x6 connector in incorrectly. If you're really paranoid the Astral Cards allow you to see the ampere and pop a notification if you exceed 9.2A but they are more expensive and look like bricks.

>>105613695
>You insinuated
I stated, just because you used a synonym for implied because I called out your derangement doesn't mean I didn't call out your derangement.

heya, i'm trying to build a system for a friend which is basically going to be a paradox game station (Vicky 3 (i know..) and EU5). he has a 1080p display and will most likely not play anything else. Budget is ~1k EUR (Germany). I've come up with the first draft of a build that might work for him:

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Fdc6VF

but input would be greatly appreciated. I would've rolled with AM4 and the 5800x3d but it's seemingly no longer available. Case etc is just almost the cheapest option too because he doesn't care about it.

>>105613669
>>105613706
I should have noted the ampere display of the Astral is part of the GPU Tweak 3 Software for Windows. I dont know if they offer it for linux as well. If you get a cable make sure it's 600w rated or the 8 Pin adapter that comes with the GPU but you will need three free 8 Pins cause you cannot daisy chain. Seasonic seem to have a good quality cables and anons also like their PSUs but I never had one so no idea.

>>105613772
i've heard good things about seasonic yeah
the astral 5080 over here is 400ish bucks more so ehh
maybe a msi variant then

Has the OP changed literally anything at all? I feel like it's been the same recommendations for a while now, and it should have been updated with new information

Display technology is rapidly improving, don't overspend on the currently available TVs or monitors (especially the UHBR20 OLED monitors).
Wait for regional discounts, even premium monitors are discounted during the holiday season.

What's "better" in terms of reliability?

>>105613897
You're in a bit of a weird spot, but the short answer is the 5070Ti if you want to stay on GeForce.
The 9060XT or the 5060Ti doesn't provide enough performance improvement.

>>105613972
12V-2x6 is the safer, updated standard.

>>105614000
Thank you based triple 0s

>>105613734
Looks fine

Debating between 64GB and 96GB system ram. I am interested in local AI shit and even if it never materializes could just host some virtual machines or keep a billion tabs open, won't be upgrading for another 7-8 years either. The price per GB actually goes down at that capacity. Does only VRAM matter for AI?

>>105613934
It's good. There are better units but the efficiency/noise improvement doesn't justify the added premium.

>>105613103
No.
I can understand when you want an array on a wall but I genuinely see the benefit.
I guess it's an age thing. My eyes get tired more easily.
Also you need a fixed distance.

>>105614006

Why wouldn't it be?

I assume that based on that website, I only have to consider something over 200% to make the investment worthwhile, right?

>>105614071
because all those power supply ratings confuse the fuck outta me. I'm coming from ye olde 25% about max draw is fine saying. it's fine i guess. thanks for bringing me towards the issue.

>>105614090
Yeah, but the price/performance gets worse as you pick a stronger upgrade.
5070 is the more cost-effective upgrade, but the VRAM capacity is the same 12GB.

>>105614126
Same, I just hear gold and buy it. I wouldn't buy bronze because bronze << gold. Have no idea what that even means.

>>105614126
>>105614162
The efficiency rating is largely meaningless. What you really want to do is to look up a review of whatever PSU you find for a reasonable price and see if it has good voltage ripple etc so it won't fry your components. Protip: most PSUs by Superflower, Silverstone, FSP and Seasonic are solid. But still look for reviews rather than relying on brand.

The Eco mode preset on some of the newer monitors is set to meet TÜV Rheinland's Low Blue Light certification (Hardware Solution).

>>105614205
Didn't know blue light was TÜV certified kek

>>105614199
Why do you give a fuck about what /v/tards have to say about your PC?
Build one that meets your budget and performance expectations.
It mostly boils down to a 9060XT/5060Ti (16GB) or the 9070/XT/5070/Ti.
B580 if you can find one @ $250 and you're budget-maxing.

Choose AM4/5 unless the Intel CPUs and motherboards are heavily discounted.
Not exactly spoiled for options.

>>105614090
>>105614159
Retarded meme and not what you should buy based on. The performance of a new gpu relative to your super old one doesn't matter. What matters is current demands for hardware and what you seek to play and at what settings. 5070 is shit for 1440p gaming especially a year or two from now with only 12gb and not enough raw power. 9070 XT, 5070 ti or better for high fidelity maxed 1440p or entry level 4k.

>>105614030
> The price per GB actually goes down at that capacity
The step from 32 to 64 is much cheaper than the step from 64 to 96GB despite being the same increase in capacity!
I recently got a 64GB kit 6000CL28 for €234 but the 96GB kit with same specs would have cost over €500. I'm not into AI but if I was I would probably get the cheapest 192GB kit available.

>>105610959
9000 series is their most competitive generation since polaris. Adjusted for inflation even 9060 XT 16GB is the same price as the 480 pretty much and it's closest nvidia equivalents in price are two scam 8gb cards 5060 and 5060 ti 8gb just like 480 vs gtx 1060 3gb. But I'm guessing competitive for an nvidiot like you means AMD giving their gpus away for free at soup kitchens in the hopes that nvidia will lower their prices a bunch (they will never) so you can buy GeForce anyway.

Kind of jewish considering the price they're asking for these. Luckily I scored mine when the price dropped momentarily by 400 euros, now it's back to full price again lmao.

But yes, having a dT of 20+ degrees is a bad thing

Guys did I fucked up? I got a 9600x and a b850m instead of a 7500f and a b650, and now I see they got almost the same perf, and I could use the extra budget for a better Graphics card.

Can you guys recommend me an itx case build for this?

The top tier skus i9 and probably some i7 will be made on tsmc so don't expect any of them to be cheap. The i3/i5 is supposed to be on Intel 18A so those should be cheaper in order to put pressure on AMD's low end.

>>105615200
Ah well probably not going to buy it anyway since they're no longer on the 1700 socket, I've already pretty much rebuilt my whole pc around it and it works well enough, no need to dump another 500 on a motherboard just to get another microcode fiasco and even then have instabilities with the "recommended settings"

Blue light filter isn't gonna help me focus faster. If you sit in front of a curved monitor at the right distance, your eyes don't need to refocus when you look across the screen.

My dad used to work for a competitor company in germany that just got permission from the government at the time to test elevators. TÜV is basically a cartel and a Mafia. They bribe and drag out neogitations until their competitors go bust, but winds been changing.

RTX 5060 TI 16GB or RX 9060 XT 16 GB? The RTX is only $30 more expensive. Using PCI 3.0 though.

the HP rep isnt wrong. AMD is everywhere in cheap handhelds/laptops. You have to spend more for Intel but you get something thats IHV industry battle hardened.

>>105609264 (OP)
is it worth upgrading from ddr4 to ddr5 yet? my pc is already pretty snappy as i have pretty beefy specs.

>>105615066
If you were able to get a better graphics card by going with the 7500F + B650, you obviously fucked up (for a gaming build).

What are you thinking? NR200(P) is one of the larger ITX cases and it only has room for a 280mm rad.

You need to move up to an mATX like the Lian Li A3.

You don't need to upgrade if you have to ask.
Keep waiting™ to see if AMD will improve the interconnect & the memory controller for Zen 6.
You can also wait™ for Nova Lake-S to see if it can better utilize CUDIMMs, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up for this.

He's been an ASUS ROG citizen for quite a while, not surprised he'd get an ROG OLED when the Pulsar monitors are MIA.

Gents, trying to pick between the Meshify 3 or Lancool 217. Both seem to have their benefits and fit the motherboard I have (EATX), but having trouble committing to either one. Anyone have experience with either or a recommendation of one over the other? Alternatives are welcome as wel

>>105615901
280mm rad limit for the Meshify 3's top panel is almost a deal breaker for me.
If you're fine with it, I'd get the Meshify 3 over the 217 just for the solid side panel variant.

>>105615901
Get whichever is cheaper or the one you think looks best.

i knew nova lake was going to be good, but not this good

>>105615798
ahh thanks mate.. will get that case then

Are they not going to make more Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420 non-RGB? Only the RGB variant is in stock. :'( It's so ugly and gay.

>>105615901
Meshify 3 by far

>>105615957
>>105615973
Thanks gents, I’m tempted by the 217’s ability to keep the fans level with the PSU shroud, does seem aesthetic. Other than that, I’ll just hit whichever one is cheaper. No RGB for me, just plain old black fans.

>>105613275
TUF is the perfect balance of practicality and features. Unlike "Prime" which is too cheap or ROG which is overpriced worthless Gamer™ slop. I hear MSI MAG is a good equivalent too but I've never bought anything from MSI.

Not sure if I want to upgrade or not and buy a new computer. Had this PC almost 9 years now. Wanted to play Elden Ring/Dark Souls 3 lately again but I'm getting lower frame rates recently and freezes sometimes. Not sure if my PC is just getting worn out. Is it a good time to buy a new PC or should I wait a while? Don't know much about building PCs or the current technological landscape.

Also I remember having issues with AMD a long time ago so I always made sure to get Intel, is AMD ok nowadays?

Find some completed builds using a 360mm rad video card cooler with that A3 case to save you some headaches.
It's strongly advised to set the rad on the top panel for the pump's longevity, you need to pick a CPU cooler that will fit with the thickness of the rad + cooling fans.

Thermalright Peerless Assassin Mini 120 or Scythe Mugen 6 (dual fan) may work with a 360mm AIO rad on the top panel, but this is pure guesswork.

> The Asus ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor with BIOS version 2403. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU
.

>>105616368
the mobos are generally handled so you attach a psu to them, stick an usb stick with the newest bios and click flash bios button and let it sit for 15mins. The mobo site has a detailed instructions for it.

otherwise the cpu wont work

For parts theres lots of overpriced stuff. Like you dont necessarily need win11 license that costs 100£, it can be bought from chinese sites for 5€ or activated for free, /g/ windows general has guide for it.
psu shouldnt cost more than like 120£
fractal north case doesnt need to be XL
the mobo can be bought for like <200£. The higher end ones mostly add more fast lanes for ssds but no impact on gaming perf.

>>105616368
Please don't pay for windows. You can get it for free

I fucking regret trusting this general and buying a Phantom Spirit 120, this thing is fucking huge and ugly, I should’ve bought a water cooler instead.

>>105616910

ngmi.

>>105616368
Get a 6000MT/s CL30 memory kit if you want a hassle-free experience.
The memory controller in these Ryzen CPUs isn't guaranteed to run that 6400MT/s spec at the optimal 1:1 ratio (memory speed : controller speed).

You can get the 6400MT/s EXPO kit and dig through the BIOS to make sure the 1:1 MEMCLK:UCLK ratio is enabled, but I'd run some stress tests to make sure the configuration is stable.

>>105616910
why do you need something tiny and beautiful taht goes inside a closed case? go on ill listen

>>105616368
micro atx nowadays for sanity

>>105616910
Why couldn't you tell it was huge and ugly from the product photos & review images?
You need to pay a premium for the better-looking AIOs anyway.

>>105616910
>>105616939
It doesn't even look that bad lol and it's the best cooler for the money which is what matters. Aesthetics tards are so dumb.

wtf can I use to support my 5080 that's nearly 6lbs heavy and I only have barely 2 inches of clearance between the psu shroud and the gpu itself?

>>105616981
>>105616981
>>105616981

>>105616974
the gpu should have a support in the box it comes with

>>105616974
Should've thought this through before you bought the card.

>>105616918
EVO is even bigger

>>105616929
I have a fish tank case, I can see the parts inside and I want it to be aesthetic.
>>105616939
Pictures don’t give the full picture, you only realize it’s size personally.

>>105617040
The regular Phantom Spirit and Peerless Assassin are cost-optimized, performance-focused air coolers.
Not sure why you were considering these air coolers if you preferred an aesthetic PC build.

I'm glad AM5 finally moved to the LGA style socket (intel supremacy ftw). Am building another cheap AM4 platform for emulation and the cpu pins were bent (again). Still can't get the fucker to post. Jesus this neanderthal technology is so cringe.

GPUs doe, AMD werks. Pre-AM5 can suck it.

What the good GPU that pair with r5 5600?

>>105617179
Probably 9060XT (16GB) or 9070 non-XT.
5070 kind of feels bad with its 12GB, but it's not that bad if you're willing to change some settings.
5060Ti 16GB feels a bit too pricey but it's an alternative to the 9060XT, slightly better too.

>>105615901
Do you have at least one HDD? If yes, get the Lancool. Vertical mounted HDDs like in the Meshify 3 suffer from high temps due to no airflow at all. Inside the Lancool the HDDs are mounted close the front panel fan, so they have plenty of airflow.

oh great another 1200p type resolution no one will remember

I think I'm just done with TVs as displays. I don't have any problems with the tech but jesus fuck they're so non-durable I'd rather pay 300 a year for a monitor than 700 a year for a TV and have basically the same experience. Not to mention that the TV is a problem with size. I can't deal dumping a 50+ inch monstrosity every year especially since I have nothing that big to get it in so I can't even pick one up in a store but have to get one with delivery which makes return/replacement a massive pain in the ass.
