Any chance you have an input on how good the panels are from those brands compared to G24F2?

Yeah I know. I've never seen a used CPU discounted that deeply either, even older gens.

>>105729982
Arrow Lake boxed CPUs attract a very small audience because the gaming performance is about as good as a 14600K.
Professionals usually don't want to build their PC, they're much more willing to pay the system integrator premium to deal with hardware-related issues.
So you're left with PC overclockers and they're the worst kind of buyers to have (binning CPUs and returning most of them).

>>105730052
No, but I've read of some XOCers buying multiple trays worth of CPUs for binning and then resell the duds.
And these guys CNE Direct seem to specialize in reselling unwanted IT components.
I doubt that's a good bin.

This is why gamers don't want to build Arrow Lake PCs.
The Z890 board and 8200MT/s CUDIMM memory will cost you around $550 before taxes, and the Tomahawk isn't that good for manual memory tuning.

If it's legitimate, $210 for a crap i9 is still a way better deal than a cut down 265K
Delidded cpus are gay and not worth any money though

Looking to build a new pc. I am using a 1070 ti and a ryzen 5 3600 as my driver for university (AI shit) and gaming. I was thinking getting a 5070 ti 16gb but god damn I cannot find one for MSRP. The best buy 750$ one is never available.

I got like 2300$ to spend in my piggybank

>>105730244

I put 5060Ti 16GB as a placeholder.
You can get a cheaper case, idk what kind of CPU you're looking so I put the 7700X (strong value for 8-core Ryzen).
The Zillion PSU is good & runs relatively quiet.
https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2667/

>>105730244
Did some digging and found out the Zillion PSU includes a 7-year warranty and uses Taiwanese caps.
If you want a PSU with a 10-year warranty and Japanese caps, you might have to jump up to the Corsair RM850x (2024) ($155ish).
There are some other choices in the $130 range, but I'd rather pay $20 extra for the RMx (good noise rating).

Should be fine if it's not counterfeit (no reason why they'd want to do this to such an unpopular CPU) or broken
People who bin CPUs also don't tend to cause any damage to CPUs during the 30 seconds or so they spend checking out it's frequency voltage table

>>105730506
Maybe if you find a decent discount for the motherboard and memory kit.
You want a fast memory for that platform.
The +8000MT/s XMP kits aren’t worth it for a used CPU.

I would consider this one, but you can drop down if you don’t want to pay that much.

Is it finally time to ditch Windows? I feel like once zoomers switch over it's over for Microsoft

My motherboard and case can support 8 different internal drives.

>x2 NVME
>x2 SSD
>x4 HDD

And right now I only have 1 NVME used as my main Windows 10 system but I want to back up my NVME with a HDD in case it one day fails on me. At first I thought just plugging in a HDD and saving all my important stuff to it but I realized, backing up and restoring Windows and all my settings fucking sucks and I'd rather mirror my NVME to a HDD instead.

So my question is how do I go about this? RAID or mirror, what's the differences? I see the term mirror used a lot and wasn't sure if there was a difference. Can the drives be different sizes and not like RAM? Say 1 2TB NVME mirrored to 1 6TB HDD? I'm not looking to go full tinfoil(protection from meteor strikes, floods, earthquakes, FBI breaking in). I know some things will just be out of my hands if they ever happen. I just want to back up my NVME as these things feel like you're dancing on thin ice.

My idea was if either fails then all I'll have to do is remove one and my system will think nothing ever happened. If I got that right.

>>105729201 (OP)
OP, where do you get this pictures?

>>105730642
>backing up and restoring Windows and all my settings fucking sucks
Why? You can just image all that shit in like 15 minutes.

>>105730688
The point is I'd rather have a functional PC if one drive ever goes out, is all I'm saying. As appose to just having a 2nd drive with nothing but media files on it.

>>105730817
Well here's the thing anon, you cannot mirror a fast as fuck drive to a slow as balls drive because the slow one literally cannot keep up with the fast one. So if you mirror them (also called RAID1) then all writes to the mirrored device will have to wait for the slow as fuck HDD to do its job, or else your data is not going to be mirrored if it's only written to the SSD. In a mirrored configuration I'm pretty damn sure you need to write to all devices before the write operation can be considered completed. Read speeds should benefit from both devices but at the same time I don't know whether any RAID solutions actually expect you to put slow as fuck and fast as fuck devices in the same mirror and as such I'm not certain even reads would work as expected (the RAID software could expect that both devices are of similar performance and attempt to use them equally, which would suck with a HDD).

In any case it's a bad idea and doesn't really make any sense. Either get 2 of the same drive (2 SSDs) to mirror them, that would work fine, or get a HDD and use it for periodic backups in addition to media and shit, not for live mirroring. Make (at least) 2 partitions on your SSD, 1 dedicated for Windows and a few programs and relatively small (say 250GB or less, should be more than enough) and another for big installs like games and so on. Make periodic backups of your Windows partition as backup images and store them on the HDD, if your OS ever gets fucked then you can easily and quickly boot into rescue media and restore a fully working OS image.

Yeah if the SSD itself dies then tough shit, at least you're not going to lose (much) data. If you want high availability rather than protection from data loss, then indeed you could mirror your drive but for that you need 2 drives of similar performance levels or you're going to kneecap your entire system.

I got a 18" 4080 laptop from my brother still under bestbuy's geekslop warranty (he swapped back to mac, kek) and I think the gpu is fucked (its running at essentially 10% of framerates in everything with massive stuttering even just having a chrome tab and epic/steam launchers open), but according to the support chat if the geeksquad retards can't fix it they've put a note that I get a new laptop since they wasted a week not fixing it last week already.

I'm wondering if there's anything I should prioritize besides cpu, gpu and monitor type and ram. Like a laptop 5070 ti is apparently 7 to 10% slower than a 4080 laptop before fake frames, but 5070 ti with an oled might be a way better laptop.

they could also give me $2000 in gift cards in which case I'd just wait for a sale since I have a 13700k+4080 desktop already

I have a TUF gaming B850 plus wifi where I turn on PBO enhancement ez tuning. Now I'm doing autotune overclocking with Before Experience. Is this okay or will it be unstable?

>>105730982

Found some white 5000D corsair, plenty of space (360 top aio was the goal), probably going to reuse it for future threadripper builds, because Im not into looks whatsoever, just airflow.
Are there any hidden problems with white cases? Maybe they turn yellow in some time?
Is 5000D a good corsair case? What should I check in case before a buy, maybe damaged screwholes or smthng?

>>105729201 (OP)
When will SSDs reach $10/TB?

>>105731152
I'll keep that in mind thanks, being able to control xmp memory speeds or pci-e stuff or timings and voltages would be nice to squeeze a little bit of extra performance out of the rig, ill have to look into their build quality though since I haven't bought msi anything for between 5 to 10 years

I need a beefy workstation, no flashy shit just pure gpu power, 1250$ total cost

>>105731670
You're not getting much "pure GPU power", in absolute terms, for $1250. Could maybe swing a used 3090 depending on your local market.

>>105731701
Shit, well at least it has 24 gigs

Are the latest nvidia drivers stable enough for a 5080?

>2x16gb Corsair vengeance ddr4
3200mhz with retarded RGB lights
>Corsair CX750 750W PSU
>All of this crammed into an mATX MSI PRO B760M-P which seems like a bad idea

Should I go for it or is it going to melt

>>105731727
Yeah. Unfortunately they're all mined to hell and with inadequate VRAM cooling to boot. If you're comfortable wit that then it's about the best you can do for "cheap+24G+good compute". If you just need the compute, and aren't comfortable with repadding, then the next best option would be a 5070 or equivalent (used 4070Ti/4070S).

>>105731763
What's the price? How much more would it cost to get equivalent performance with a new DIY rig?

Only way to find out for your system is to try it out (keep installation file of the current stable version for you).

thinking about upgrading from 27" 1440p to 27" 4k, but i know for a fact my GPU won't be able to push 4k@240hz
how bad would a game look on the 4k display, rendered at 1440p?

>>105732861
You will only benefit from 4k at 27" if you sit very close to it but given that you want to play with the whole monitor in your field of view you'd be sitting to close to it then.

>>105732861
You're using upscalers so it's never 4k native it's 1440p or 1080p scaled up.

Technically I didn't build the PC cause i'm a lazy faggot, I got it from a company that priced a prebuilt pretty good but dumbasses didn't update the BIOS even though they said they updated it. I'm fucked, I just want a refund for the CPU, I could care less about the motherboard cause it still works.

>>105733030
It's a bit for complicated with newer hardware since they stack different chips together, not just one. For instance on GPUs there's not just GPU core voltage, there's also memory voltage, then there's soc voltage like your CPU, and your SSD has a controller not just flash. You have to take everything into account to find the true power draw. It's easier to use a PCIE plug or wall meter.

>>105733055
Anyone can submit a ticket on GitHub but it doesn't mean its valid unless a Valve employee stamps it as such. Under every issue page with a Valve stamp it's nvidia driver issues.

Painting himself as the misunderstood hero who “freed the thread from its worst troll,” despite being the actual troll.

Obsessive Fixation
Entire identity and purpose wrapped around this “dlss schizo” rivalry.

Contradictory Self-Mythology
Claims both to have “freed the thread” and to be “done unless the dlss schizo returns,” showing ambivalence and need for drama.

Threatening or Provocative Language

Implies willingness to continue only if provoked, trying to bait responses.

Denial

Claiming the situation is “boring and not funny anymore” while clearly still deeply invested.

Manipulation

Using guilt or responsibility (“You’re welcome”) to frame himself as a benevolent actor.

Delusional Narrative

Overstating influence and impact (“got people making paranoid schizo posts thinking I made threads”).

Weaponization of Mental Illness Terminology

Using words like “schizo” in a mocking, derogatory way to demean others and shield himself.

Cope
Overall, the entire post reads as an elaborate attempt to rationalize failure and cling to relevance.

Take your meds and stop thinking about me when I'm not in the thread, little guy.

Help me troubleshoot some artifacting issues I've had today, /pcbg/. Here's my build.

9800x3D
X870 asrock Steel Legend wifi mobo
2x16 GB Teamgroup T-CREATE 6000 CL30
3070 8gb, latest drivers
Win 10, latest update

Everything had been going fine, I've had the GPU since 2020 and the CPU/ram/mobo since the 9800x3d released.
Today when booting up jellyfin desktop client (an electron app) the whole system froze, but I recovered without a reboot. The mouse pointer had disappeared too but plugging it out and putting it back in restored that.
Later, without rebooting, I launched a java Minecraft instance, which showed artifacts on the form of small colored squares of stripes and noise all over the screen.

So far I've run DDU and restored the 566.36 Nvidia drivers, and now I'm running a memtest. Currently at 2/4 passes, zero errors.

This smells like a memory or mobo issue to me so far, do you guys concur?

>>105733056
You just have to move like 3~4 sliders in Afterburner, save the profile, stability test it, then set it to apply on Windows boot up.
I would start with +120~150MHz GPU Core offset, +1500MHz memory, and drag the V/F curve down at 900mV or 950mV (lower is more power efficient, higher is more performant).
The OC offsets can go higher, but higher values are less likely to be stable (stress test required).

This video shows the process, slow it down if it's too fast.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOU
https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia%20Overclocking.md

The guides shared by techtubers can make the lower V/F points more power inefficient.

The projection is palpable.

>>105733077
He needs to prove RADV is 30~50% more performant than NVIDIA drivers (which he can't), not NVIDIA has more issues posted in Proton.

Why did Radeon screw over gamers with RDNA3?

Apparently they were simultaneously overpriced and feature-deficient, and it took less than 18 months for AMD to start releasing features that don't work on RDNA3.

>>105733093
>No coder
Another projection.
Show the line of code(s) where RADV fixes TAA.

>>105732928
was thinking more for the screen real estate from 4k, but in hindsight that doesn't make much sense as it'll be more or less close to what i have now due to scaling

>>105732956
concerned about games without upscaling. shit like league, counterstrike and so on. things i can actually get 240hz in

>>105730331
Why? Games are claiming to need 8 cores minimum now

RADV can never overcome a hardware deficiency.
They've improved RT performance but it's not going to bring a 30~50% advantage over NVIDIA.

>>105733061
Nevermind apparently every of these companies computer use the same FAGGOT motherboard, I either should of check up on the update or buy the parts and make a local PC faggot build it for me. I will forever hate prebuilts, fucking disgusting.

>>105733172
why arent you building it yourself? I may not be the smartest but even I managed to though it took me half a day cause I was too stupid to read the AIO manual.

Might be a stupid question, but

>Power consumption 304 W
>Connections and connections 2x 8-pins (6+2) connection
>Minimum power supply - I'm. - 800 W
Why do I need a minimum 800W PSU when its power consumption is 304W?

I was considering a 9070 XT, but I've got a 750W PSU. Is that something I'll have to replace?

>>105733122
RDNA3 was designed at a time when AI data center cards weren't as highly in demand since ChatGPT got mainstream attention.
Now AMD and their major clients fully bought into the AI GPU hype.

>>105733087
Display artifacts could be VRAM related, download Afterburner, and set a negative frequency offset for the memory (try -50Mhz).
If that doesn't solve it, downclock the GPU core frequency by -15/30/45Mhz.

This guide teaches overclocking, but downclocking is just moving the sliders to the opposite direction.

With Nvidia you cant get a solid 60fps in fortnite at 720p,1080p,1440p,4k, whatever resolution on your nvidia rtx 4090 not because of "unreal engine sucks". its because nvidias dx12 wddm dll api driver literally stalls when processing hlsl code. the game will always stutter as long as you update your drivers or the game updates because nvidia wont switch to spirv until shader model 7.0

RADV AMD doesn't have this issue as their vulkan ACO by design doesn't stall.

>What is the accepted mid range GPU nowadays?
You're kind of fucked because the 9060 XT 16GB and 5060Ti 16GB's performance won't justify spending $350 or nearly $500 for them.

headroom for bad quality PSUs

Hey /pcbg/ I haven't been around for a number of years. My CPU is now 13 years old, GPU is 6 years old, I want a new gaming PC. The only salvageable part of my current system would be the PSU, since it's a 750W platinum Seasonic, but I want to go SFF if I can find a case I like (something with a square footprint and developed in height rather than being an horizontal rectangle) and shove all my 3.5" HDD in a NAS or something. Budget is around €2k, target resolution is 1440p (my current monitor is75Hz, but it has a bunch of dead pixels, so maybe I'll get a new one Idk I'm not swimming in money).

>>105733403

Only if you're running ray reconstruction on top of it.
Most RTX 20, 30, card owners won't be affected because they're using lighter RT settings.

Is a VA monitor fine if I mostly use my PC for making and playing games or should I go for IPS?

Just buy a 4k monitor bro, it's fine. You just have to

>Never use it for productivity
>Only be in a dark room
>Deal with VRR Flicker
>Spend three times as much as an IPS

>>105729201 (OP)
Hey gang, can you help me not make a dumb buying decision?

My current specs are:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
Storage: WD Green SATA SSD - 250GB
RAM: Crucial ballistix 16 GB (2x8) DDR4
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3060 ti
Mobo: TUF gaming B550-M Plus

I tried playing HL Alyx the other day, but apparently there's something on my hardware that's limiting my performance and the game was stuttering a lot and even crashed a few times. I noticed that my CPU was running extremely hot, reaching more than 90 C, and the PC even crashed one time. I was using the 5600X stock cooler (yeah I know, not the brigthest idea, but this had never happened to me playing other games before), so I turned a fan on max speed towards the CPU and that prevented the PC from crashing, but the game was still lagging, specially when an achievement popped up, and crashed when trying to load new areas.

Now, I know I still have to check online for some fixes to the crashes, and I bought the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo because it was on sale here, to at least be able to play without having to turn on a loud fan next to the PC. However, after buying the cooler I got an itch to upgrade the rest of my PC. Here's what I was thinking about buying:

SSD: Either Kingston KC300, Kingston Fury Renegade, XPG S70 or WD Black SN770, 2 TB
RAM: 2x16GB, could be Kingston, XPG, G.Skill
CPU: 5700X3D

I need someone to talk some sense into me. Should I just GIVE IN to this burning desire and be a consoooomer? Are these buying options even good? All I want is to play VR games without my FPS dropping to like 10 FPS. When I open HL Alyx I get a warning that my VRAM is not enough, so maybe the GPU is the actual bottleneck in all of this... Well, what do you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Just buy an OLED monitor bro, it's fine. You just have to

>Pixel refresh every 4 hours
>Never use it for productivity

>Deal with VRR Flicker
>Spend three times as much as an IPS

>>105733726
Adjust game settings until you don't get that VRAM warning.
Enable Steam's performance monitor to check whether the CPU is thermal throttling badly.
The stock cooler is supposed to provide good enough performance.

Asrock's only crime was believing AMD's own specs IMO, other vendors where squeamish accepting anything AMD said at face value and detuned from the max.

I hate being correct when a few years ago I was squeamish about CPUs boosting themselves to the edge of stability.

hey faggots can you keep your amd vs nvidia shitflinging here and not spread it to other boards?

>>105733800
Correct. Its a collab fuckup between AMD/Microsoft/AIB. AMD doesn't tighten the belt, Microsoft also allows anyone to do anything harmful on your PC as long as they have a certificate that's not human reviewed only AI reviewed, AIB follow orders without question.

>>105733602
If you are getting VA it should be a higher tier VA, hopefully Samsung VA. Cheaper VAs have bad pixel response times, which in reality translates to bad motion clarity and black smearing.

The term mirroring is usually meant to refer to something live, yeah. If you want to just periodically copy all files from one drive to another then you can do that of course, but just copying files over won't result in a bootable drive since there's the (usually hidden) EFI partition and some other small partitions Windows uses for fuck knows what. The easy way to get a bootable copy is to use a backup program to make an image since it will handle everything for you. What you want is probably achievable but it's going to be more complicated than CTRL+C CTRL+V on your C: partition so you'll need to look into it and do some research.

upgrade 6800XT to 9070XT with a 5800x3d or just build a whole new machine at this point?

Building a PC for the first time in ages and I am baffled by the fans, can anyone help me with my dumb confusion?

The motherboard has two 4pin CPU-FAN headers. I plugged my CPU fan into one, but it also has a 3-pin (ARGB?) cable and I don’t seem to have a header for that.

There are 5 fans on the case, all with 4pin cables going to a little hub which then has a SATA power connection and another 3-pin ARGB cord.

How do I hook up those two 3-pin ARGB cables?
If I get an ARGB controller like this one pictured and plug those 3pins into it and plug it into the second CPU-FAN header, will that work?


Also the lights aren’t necessary right, so I could turn the machine on with just the CPU fan powered and it should be fine until I get the rest sorted?

Depends entirely on your viewing distance. At a "typical" desk you'd get maybe 50-65cm or shorter viewing distance and I'd definitely recommend a 27" screen. This is close enough to your eyes that you'll benefit from the increased DPI and a 27" screen will still cover a large part of your vision, consequently the lower DPI of the bigger screen will look worse. If you have a particularly deep desk and your monitor is particularly far away (like getting close to 1m) then you'd want the 32" version.

There isn't, at least not on Windows and there hasn't been since like Windows 7 or something. There's a throng of loud retards who still haven't caught up with this decade-old knowledge and still think scaling doesn't work. No idea how the various flavors of desktop Linux handle it, there's probably some variance there.

what is a good 43 inch 4K monitor? i currently use my tv as a monitor but want something better. Use case is gaming, shitposting, video editing, and stable diffusioning. 43 inches is my prefferred size i know theres not a lot of monitors that size but my current tv is that size and its perfect for my room. preferably something 4k and 144 hz

you don't, even on the shittiest ones the only mandatory one is after 16h, which is still unacceptable due to buggy firmware however, just follow the oled shit list and you would have known about this, the correct behavior should be never ever running during use for any amount of accumulated hours, don't negotiate with terrorists
it brings 0 value and you don't NEED to run it as often as they claim, they are literally retarded

I'm running an RTX 4070 (ProArt OC) together with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
Would it make sense to upgrade to an RTX 5080 (ProArt OC)?

How are people in good faith suggesting the 9070 or 9070 xt right now? They're even just straight up more expensive then their competitor

>>105736477
Why? Bottleneck or is it simply not a worthwhile upgrade?

bottleneck + upgrade not worth it + 5080 insanely overpriced for no reason

>>105736521
Gotcha. What would be the best option or is the 4070 already the sweetspot for the 5800X3D?

if you're chasing FPS numbers then just buy the xx90 card every generation

>>105736576
5070 Ti is the best value for your situation. It also won't significantly bottleneck (depending on resolution) your 5800X3D.

>>105736576
other anon is right. 5070ti is honestly the best that you can do. 4090/5080/oc'd 7900xtx and above are all bottlenecked by your cpu.

rdna2 is retard cheap used if you can wait or find something locally. 6900/6950 still genuinely good cards even if you don't have ai nigger upscaling

>>105736034
The 9060XT 16GB is the better buy if it's cheaper than the 7700XT.
The PSU should be fine for that config.

>>105736412
Don't overpay for a 5080.

>>105736539
5070Ti is about 60% better than the 4070, but I don't see this being enough to pay $800~1000.

Advice for cheap airgapped machines? Trying to make some decisions. I thought about Pi, but apparently only niche ones totally lack wifi/bt integration.

Looking at
>various price points & power
>the very different mindset of a single use machine

It's mostly an experiment. I won't be lining my walls with lead to prevent Tempest or anything.

Basically, my goal is
>I have a task
>I have a separate machine for this, separate monitor, kb, mouse, desk or area of a desk
(to what extent I can do it)

I didn't think this was worthy of a thread. Ideas welcome

>>105736933
What are you doing that simply running it in a VM is not enough that you would need to airgap a machine?

r8 or h8
PSU and CPU are for pairing with a 5090 in the future when i can get one and i want a 65% PSU load for the best GPU performance i am gonna use the 5070 for another build in the future

>>105737000
And i forgot to say this is for scuffed 2K gayming

>>105736868
i would not recommend used rdna2 or ampere unless you are prepared to sacrifice some blood cutting yourself opening it up.

Intel brothers, we're going home soon...

>>105737000
Waste of money to pay that much for last gen Intel.
Get Duronaut instead of Kryonaut.

The solution to this is not being retarded, how do you have a hard time repasting a gpu?

>>105736998
My retort: What are you doing, that you need to use a vm and multi-tasking and the Internet attached?

Multitasking is childish.

yeah I'm going 32" 4K
I'd go bigger if I could
Now time to find a screen that's going to actually be good
Asus never let me down these last 5 years on 27" b1440p I'll see what they have now

>>105736905
most likely will stick to corsair, but thanks, i pay very big attention to Cultist network PSU list, is it a good move you think?

>>105737083
well fren 13900 generation is more expensive since it has the same performance as the 14900 or did u mean i should consider AMD CPUs which are more expensive and they have less performance ty for the Kryonaut suggestion ill look into it tho

>>105737175
>yeah I'm going 32" 4K
>I'd go bigger if I could
for what? 27 4k is best combo from my standpoint and 32 is more like a TV tier than a monitor

>>105737136
>I need an airgapped system because multitasking is literal bing bing wahoo
... what?
You can run a VM in fullscreen, you don't need to "multitask". I asked you why you would need an entirely separate machine that is cut off from the internet for something that your current computer could probably do as well.

>>105737088
your heatsink is full of sharp blades

>>105736905
>>105736034
the rx7900 gre is also in a similar price range, would you still recommend the 9060

>>105737235
LMAO, heatsink fins don't have to be sharp.
What cheapshit did you buy?

>>105734944
It looks like this one connects to the motherboard with that PWM control cable to the CPU-FAN header, but I see others that use the USB header instead (and some are waaay more expensive than others).
What’s the difference? Will either way work?

There's a new tier list being shilled, search for spl psu tier list.
I don't care for it but it's more up-to-date than the cultist's.

>>105737252
7900 GRE is noticeably more performant than the 9060XT 16GB, but you will be left out on the new RDNA4 features (better RT, upscaling, frame gen, etc.).

I thought Linux users were supposed to be resourceful.
The issue is fixed in NVIDIA's Vulkan Dev Driver, over three months ago.
Driver issues can be fixed, hardware limitations stay fucked that way.

>>105737394
>Linux users were supposed to be resourceful.
Linux users are on a spectrum from "novice" to "hasn't left his home in 35 years".
Especially with everyone currently shifting from windows to Linux we'll see more novices in the coming years, but that's okay because learning a brand new OS from scratch is hard.

I cannot believe more companies are not doing this

>>105737192
>did u mean i should consider AMD CPUs which are more expensive and they have less performance
If you're building a PC for mainly gaming, even the 7800X3D is the better CPU @ 1440p.
If you're not in the US, I guess regional prices can change things.

>>105737479
am I the only one who doesn’t want lights on every single component or what?
last time I paid attention, everyone made fun of people with superfluous lighting (red lights make games go fast, etc)
but I tune out for a decade and suddenly they’re on EVERYTHING and nobody will answer my idiot questions about how the hell u plug them in

>>105737517
Some people can set it up to look nice.
I prefer utilitarian designs (with solid side panels), but these don't sell well enough.

rgb is just a preference. it's like being mad or annoyed that people like wearing red shirts. if you don't like rgb nobody is forcing you to put any in your build. even if you're forced to buy something with rgb, there's always a way to turn it off anyways

>>105737585
>AMD drivers could run FF7RB 5 months ago.
Very compelling argument to make today.
I don’t even recommend Linux gamers to buy NVIDIA but existing users are the ones saying things have gotten a lot better.

Being annoyed that people have shit taste is nothing new. It's also less like red shirts and more like a whole stupid fashion trend like torn jeans.
>there's always a way to turn it off anyways
>always
Factually not. And in some cases you need bloatware to do it.

I use windows because my operating system isn't a toy or a flex

When I can do everything I do in Windows painlessly, I will switch. Until then, kick rocks, retards.

Ripped jeans are also very cool.

>>105737645 (me)
Also, it indirectly causes a shitload of cases to be made with glass panels, and most don't offer a solid panel option. Good luck turning that off. LEDs can at least be desoldered as a last resort.

>>105737635

>chromium still bugged on 9070xt

Am I better off buying a new CPU or GPU?
>USA
>$600
I have a Ryzen 7 3700X paired with an RTX 3070 that I've been using for the past 5 years and I've found myself struggling to run games at 1440p on even low settings. Planning on upgrading in maybe two years from now and I'm hoping the prices will be a lot better in the used market than they are now for current CPUs/GPUs. Just want to know what should be my priority for stalking discounts and marketplace listings when games start being impossible to run at 1440p low settings 30fps stable.

My use case is mostly gaming (Cyberpunk 2077, Space Marine 2, Dragon's Dogma 2, Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord, Rimworld, Darktide, Helldivers 2, Endless Alice, Warframe, etc) with some video/photo editing, blender, Clip Studio Paint, light streaming, and a lot of multi-tasking.

>>105737663
It's specific version of chromium. Just roll back. I don't get people that are so eager to update their browser so they can speedrun into problems.

>>105737673
I don't recall ever updating my browser desu...
how do you roll back it?

>>105737669
Save more money for a full rebuild to Zen 6 (1~2 years out), there's still some life left in your PC and Zen 6 might be amazing.
If you're looking for used deals 5600/X or 5700/5800X will provide the best value upgrade for that socket.
Rely on DLSS as much as you can, you paid for that feature, kek.

>>105737669
Wait for full upgrade with AM5 Zen 6 and 60 series GPU in 2027

>>105737517
my PC is fucking rack mounted

>>105737679
chromium browsers are always automatically updating in the background and forcing some retarded bug on users for months

there is no way to roll back
enjoy

>>105737000
Your text is fucked. I think it's a setting somewhere in windows to fix that.

>>105737683
>>105737701
I was thinking I might need to do a big upgrade. Was hoping that AM4 would still have legs but yeah, I guess I'll wait and see or unless I find a 5800X3D for around $200. Thank you both.

>>105737679
>>105737706
yeah its automatic update. you have to turn it off, delete your exe, clear your profile data, and download a version that's not buggy from a mirror. you can build it yourself since its opensource.

as for what version you need idk just ctrl+f webgpu or angle and try the version that doesn't mention it because the ones that do means they did a gpu bug.

>>105737752
its most likely already fixed on chrome dev

https://developer.chrome.com

but you know what dev means right? there will be other bugs beside that one.

>>105737748
Two main possibilities:
1: Memory training. Leave it on for 10 minutes and see if it boots.
2: BIOS is incompatible. I doubt that board has Flashback so you're borrowing a CPU or taking it to a shop.

>>105737762
Cop if you need multicore or are minmaxing with DDR4. If not, get a 7600(X) at $170.

>>105737748
Reseat the memory modules, hear the click and shit.
Let the memory train for a bit before you turn the PC off.
BIOS should be fine since it's a B520 chipset (5600X supported since the earliest public version of that board).

>>105737752
welcome to open source software. shit is fixed and broken on a daily basis. this is why you learn how to use git.

Make sure you connect the display cable to your video card's output port, not the motherboard.

>>105737814
Good deal then. Be sure to update the BIOS/microcode so it doesn't cook itself.

>>105737618
>but existing users are the ones saying things have gotten a lot better.
Who?

>>105737823
fwiw I was planning on using a 12600k but with the price this close for the 14th gen I figured I might as well use it.
is the degradation issue enough of a problem that I should stick with the 12th gen? I'm not not very informed about it.
