Don't forget to check if it interferes with your RAM as well.

>>105807542
Case manufacturers usually list the maximum CPU cooler height and GPU length in the product specifications.
Maybe subtract 3-5mm from those figures to be safe.
Compare that maximum CPU cooler height to the one listed in the cooler’s spec sheet.

Posted this in the previous thread. Work at a thrift store.

Someone dumped a bunch of PC stuff

Scored an amd ryzen 5 2600 + MSI b450m pro max mobo (no ram) and GTX 1660 super

And 3 mice (glorious model 0, some endgame brand mouse and razer dewther adder)

Question, which of those mice is the best

And is that CPU and mobo worth using over my current i7 8700 based build that I scavenged a few months ago (still on a GTX 970)

Or should I just put the 1660super in my current i7 8700 build?

Is it worth putting some money in the amd build?

>>105807669

redpill me on 9800x3d

i know i need a aio for it but what ram should i aim for and if i want to oc how should I approach it?

>>105807883
>i want to oc how should I approach it?
If your talking about ram timings buildzoid has a guide which is pretty easy to follow and Ocing the cpu nah there's no overclocking on x3d cpu's but you can play around with the curve optimiser setting in ryzen master which does fix 0 and 1% lows

>>105807883
and for ram you wanna aim for 6000mhz cl30 or cl32 with decent timings

>>105807611
people do like high ppi monitors but they dont want 24" monitors wasting space on their desks
24" screens have no use case

>>105807338 (OP)
what do yall think about this 1440 build that i will only use for vidya and gooning. Any mistakes or parts that i should change? Philippines btw

>>105807938
I'm rocking two 24" screens side by side and I still can see all pixels at an arms reach because they're FHD.
There is people who are interested in 24" Screens. Me for example. And I'd even pay up to 1000€ per if they're really really good screens.

>>105807958
you literally have 2 monitors on your desk
so having a small monitor isnt important for YOU because you waste so much space

>>105807338 (OP)
Miosha?

>>105807971
Doesn't mean I'm not space constrained. I can't use any larger monitors, two 24" screens literally take up all the space at my desk.

>>105807983
you could fit a 42" monitor is same width that 2x 24" monitors take

>>105807338 (OP)
>Spend 1000 on mb
> Same black slop

>>105807971
having a lot of space doesn't mean you sit far away from your monitor. Viewing distance is important. I run a 27" and if I'm sitting upright while being close to the keyboard it's nearly too big.

>>105807991
No I couldn't, I have a hard limit, there's a shelf 5cm above my monitor that I cannot place somewhere else because then it would be out of my reach, and I cannot mount it any higher on this wall because of retarded landlord rules.

>>105807998
thats extremely bizarre scenario no one else experiences
a 28" 4k display would fit in regardless

>>105807883
Stability testing manual memory OC takes a bit of time, expect this to take at least 2 weeks if you're starting from scratch.
You can't just punch in others' memory timings if you want a tight OC.

This guy shared the more reliable 9800X3D + memory OC & stability testing experience, I don't think his Nova board killed the 9800X3D.
Check a few Buildzoid videos and comb through 9800X3D + DDR5 OCing topics in Overclock.net
Do not trust most of their "daily stable" OCs unless they show proof of the system passing a variety of extended stress tests.

No problems buddy

i have an rtx 4070 super. is it good enough for 3440x1440p (34") for gayming? im thinking about getting an ultrawide. also, if it's not, would lowering the resolution at 2560x1080p make the games look too blurry?

>>105808196
Use dlss to upscale from a lower res to 3440x1440
With dlss quality, that GPU should be more than enough for high settings ~70hz at that resolution in new games

>>105808106
Pic is the guy's OC summary.
https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/103664434/#q103665508

If you want to skip all the tedious bullshit, follow Buildzoid's EZ timing for Ryzen 7000 (leave tRAS @ EXPO or JEDEC values, tighter tRAS shows no benefit).
You can follow Rzyen 7000 memory OC guides because the 9000 series CPUs have the same I/O die (memory controller) & interconnect bottlenecks.
https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS_NeTwjOvY

You OC the memory first before you OC the CPU because the CPU is the component that can check memory errors.
Set lower CPU power limits if you don't want to waste too much power stability testing the memory OC.

>>105808062
i calculated my pc wattage. 511w, assume cooler and all fans are 100w, i get 611 minus 750 and i still have unused 139w. Should i really get more watts like 200w allowance?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VQG83w

so im looking to build a 1080p mid range setup with budget of about 1200€. im in germany and i have the monitor on the list already.
im especially unsure about the motherboard and the cpu cooler since I am pretty unexperienced. the motherboard would have to be wifi compatible which the one i selected is as far as i can tell.
any improvements or advice?

>>105807944
>micro atx case with glass all over
why
you live in a literal jungle
also im pretty sure that no retail box on cpu means no stock cooler included, retailers usually do this shit when reselling cpus meant for prebuilds

>>105808382
its true, it gets really humid here but when night comes it gets windy since im near shore and i live in 2nd floor. Also yeah, i picked the tray type because the boxed one cost 100 dollars more, i typed the cooler in the pic i will be using, PS120 SE. I cant find a good matx case where the psu switch is not hidden, AP201 is good but i hate that the psu is hidden inside

>>105808371
Just go 850watt it's pretty much the sweet spot at this point have a look at a few seasonic units or even some superflower ones you will get what you pay for with a decent warranty as well

>>105808441
>Also yeah, i picked the tray type because the boxed one cost 100 dollars more
Man. Here in Germany the trays cost a few bux more than boxed.

No one buys trays here, it's like getting your GF fucked by someone else before you're allowed to touch her. (overclockers buy 10 to 20 CPUs, bin them all and send back every single one but the best).

>>105808371
Your PSU capacity is fine, 7800X3D sips power (arguably the most power-efficient 8-Core CPU released in the past 5 years).
The CPU and GPU will rarely be running at 100% utilization simultaneously.
I'd argue even a 650W PSU is fine for that system config, but stick with 750W for peace of mind.

9800x3d or 9900x3d with 9070xt?

shiieeeet you just made me realized tray types are used goods

>>105808552

>>105808528
>9900x3d
This runs like a slightly better 9600X3D for gaymen, only recommended if you need 12 core/24 threads for productivity (or the faster memory bandwidth).

>>105808528
>with 9070xt
doesn't matter. you want to cherry-pick cpu with 5080/5090/6000 kind of card. if and when they drop 9080xt or something - the situation might change for that one.

>>105808595
Usually you get a larger HDD because you want to really hoard shit or move older games off of the SSD as you download newer games.
Also Lexar M2s don't have an onboard DDR-cache but use host-caching only (your RAM).
Get a Samsung or don't bother.

Sup /g/oy
Has anyone here bought Asus PSUs as of recently? How are yours? Looking after this unit, but I find it too pricey ('B' tier in those PSU tier lists):
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GrddnQ

>>105808768
Why would you even consider that unit when an RM750x is available for cheaper (at least in the US)?

>>105808768
any psu not made by SeaSonic is not a real psu

>>105808790
>at least in the US
That's my problem. There actually is a RMx unit priced similarly here, but it is that annoying shift variant, and I absolutely don't want to buy one of these cube-ish cases just for it. And for whatever reason stores here pumped up prices for RMe units, just before I started checking parts. Fuck me

>>105808854
Check prices for the Montech Century II or be Quiet Pure Power 12M/13M.

>>105808800
Superflower is the same company who made the supernova units for EVGA and they have been around as long as seasonic my other superflower unit is over 12 years old and still working perfectly fine

Games are not becoming unoptimized. Developers are just switching from the PS4 to the PS5. If you don’t have at least 8 zen 2 cores and a RX 6700 your PC is obsolete

>>105808975

>>105809047
Your standards are too high. It’s not feasible to run high fidelity new games at 4K ultra with ray tracing

>>105809047

Correct. The RTX PRO 6000 can.

>>105809070
Get rid of ray tracing. Baked lighting was fine, I don't need the floors to look like someone poured a thin sheen of vegetable oil all over the place.

>>105807338 (OP)
Let's say hypothetically, I have a budget of around $1100 to build a better machine compared to my current machine of:
CPU: Intel i5-9400F
GPU: 1060Ti
Mobo: Gigabyte Z390 UD
RAM: 32GB Ripjaws something or other
Monitors: LG 24GN650-B and HP 24mh

Ideally, I'd want to be able to play Dying Light 2 without having the fans spike up in speed (which is what currently happens on Medium). I'm in the US, FWIW.

>>105809140
Ryzen 7700, 32gb ram and rx9070 or rtx5070

>>105809140
Just buy a ps5 for 400 dollars

>>105808907
>Montech Century II or be Quiet Pure Power 12M/13M
No luck. be Quiet units here are expensivier and underpowered (650w or lower). Otherwise are of that System Power lineup (aka disposable).
Montech units available are a bit more expensive and not of exactly that model (G5, Titan). Also, they would imply more fares to me (not in the same store).
Thanks for the recommendations anon, but I guess the most feasible PSU to me now is that Asus one. A 10-year warranty must mean something, no?

>>105809215
But I already own one, feels like such a hassle to open a new game and play.

7800X3D is suboptimal because the VCache is on top of the CCD. Only buy if you are poor.
Mainboard has only two M.2 slots. It's a dead end. Only buy if you are poor.
Don't buy a 1TB HDD, this would be the pinnacle of stupidity. No excuse. Not even if poor.
The case has too much glass, bad airflow design accident. Get a case with large front fans. Won't be more expensive.
RAM brand is a nobody to me
GPU is mainly a matter of money, 9070 good choice for poorfags of course
SSD is good

>>105808528
Either 9800X3D or 9950X3D depending on your needs. 12-core is neither good at gaming nor as good as 16-core in production, it's not cheap enough to be justified.

Nothing can. If games have good gameplay they are fun even in low res 60 fps but no visual fidelity can fix the lack of it.

I have a 4TB SSD exclusively for game installations, added to my new system just a moth ago and it's already filled with 890GB from 19 games + Steam + Epic. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall all the time. I wonder if 8TB would have been the smarter choice.

>>105810140
>7800X3D is suboptimal because the VCache is on top of the CCD. Only buy if you are poor.
what are you talking about, it's basically a top performer outside of 9800x3d/9950x3d

>>105810325
> are you a turbo gooner?
No, but a hyper torrenter.

>>105810418
I didn't say it's bad. Suboptimal only means that there are better choices and you named them. Why did and do so many buy the 9800X3D if 7800X3D is such a top performer? Just because it's better.

>>105810458
i mean, with unlimited budget both 7800x3d and 9800x3d are pointless
7800x3d still have a decent niche in builds, it usually goes for ~$100 cheaper than 9800x3d and it's better than 9700x and below

>7900XTX

My new SSD comes with a graphene heat spreader that's not installed by default. Should I put the heat sink on, then put thermal pads on? Or should I put thermal pads directly on the 3 chips only?
The bottom lid of the laptop has a copper sheet.

I'm worried that if I put the pads directly on the chips, it'll be a pain to get off next time I have to open the case up. Do the tiny chips near the middle need cooling too?

>>105810865

that may be the case but it's a very common meme and everyone below the age of maybe 35 knows that it's entirely ironic and not intended as a jab, so it seems like an odd thing not to know if you stream often

>>105811408
>keep on believing
What am I supposed to believe? The benchmark had erroneous memory speed reporting
Possibly due to the mobo he using and using I forget what the setting is that overclocks the speeds, after that since the other anon could not verify and nobody wanted to do testing no further research was done and I could not take it seriously
Do you remember? I was there
Or are you just deflecting, you also seem new

Streamers you have to walk on eggshells around you get bnd for random shit

Thinking about upgrading from 3600 to 98003xd and keeping 2070s for another half year or so. But only got a 650w PSU , will 850w give enough overhead capacity. Guess probably should just spend the extra for 1000w to be sure for when I update GPU as well.

>>105810065
don't know what binning is and i guess you meant to write aero instead of zero

>>105810080
how do you know aero has the best cooling?
it's thinner than gaming/aorus so why would the cooling be better?

>>105811475
>Streamers you have to walk on eggshells around you get bnd for random shit
you're missing the point entirely
someone said
>skill issue
when he got a black screen in the game or something. if you stream often and your audience isn't composed entirely of 40 year olds, it's odd that you're reading that for the first time in 2025

>>105811485
just do you're config in pcpartpicker and check power draw - it does estimates for you. keep in mind that for cpu and gpu it estimates based on stock values, and 9800x3d can peak like 140-160w depending on your overclocks and thermal headroom.
650 is gonna be tight for sure, but 850 should be fine unless you plan to go for 5080 or so.

Got the 4060 de shrouded and unwanted backplate section removed

>>105811564
Installed along side my passively cooled CPU .
Only fans in the system are 3 80mms .2 in at the front one out by the I0

At 90 w tdp it will run at 100% for 7 minutes before throttling and only a little.
If rate this passive setup at 85w but the nvidia driver only let's me go down to 90w.
To get the full 115w passively I'll probably need ducting and maybe some better fans

>>105811580
...

>>105811580
it would probably help if you didn't have that rats nest cabling impeding the airflow from the fans
also, yes, stick the biggest fans you can in there, at idle they are still silent and will still move a good amount of air

>>105810494
> i only keep games
So do I, about 850 by now and they don't all fit on a 8TB HDD.

>>105810813
> $100 cheaper
Okay, even my budget is not unlimited but only 100 more for a better CPU is easily justified. This is not like wasting money on showcase fishtanks and LRGB, fancy keyboards, luxury fans from Austria etc.

The 9060XT's a really good card. I'm not sure why the 9070XT is going for so much over it, or why the 9070 non XT exists at all.

0/10

it's a cpu fan that isn't touching the cooler

>>105811766
NH-P1 cut to size to fit in the case .

>>105811770
The components are passively cooled but the computer itself is not.
It's fan reduction and simplification not fanless

Are CPU coolers still really annoying to install with the backplate, or have they evolved?

>>105811852
No they haven't evolved but you can

>>105811837
>NH-P1 cut to size to fit in the case .

>>105811837
a cpu-fan's job is to create air movement in the passive cooler that all computers have, so that warm air gets replaced by cooler air that then gets heated up.

your totally-not-cpu-fan creates air movement in much the same way, so i just don't think it's correct to call it passive cooling. just saying,

>>105811852
I didn't have to touch the backplate with my AIO. I assume you have to with some air coolers.

>>105811893
I forgot this was /v/
In serious computing almost all CPU coolers are passive and chassis fans do 100% of the cooling for all components.
They aren't CPU fans because they are cooling everything not just the CPU .
If that fan fails everything would overheat not just the CPU .

Gaming PCs and components aren't built this way since children can't thermal engineer so putting a fans on everything makes up for most oversights.

>serious computing

I ended up putting the heat spreader on so it'll be easy to clean up if I decide to move the SSD in the future, to add some thickness to increase contact with the lid, and so I won't lose the heat spreader.

Not like it really matters if the SSD is cooled or not.

>>105811852
you can't remove the backplate on am5
the main inconvenience of having a cooling block permanently attached to the radiator didn't go away, but that's kinda the point

I panic bought a 4060 TI after my GPU died last year, only now am I reading that it's a horrible card.
Is it actually bad or is it one of those autism minmaers say it's bad and it's fine for normal people things?
It runs everything I throw at it on max settings fine

it's not autism, it's corporate cocksucking. these posters here shilling the newest garbage every month are paid to do it. they call it native advertising. somebody was paid 2 usd to bake this thread. the 4060ti is overkill, you'll be fine for years to come. they run a little hot so you might have to repaste it after a year or two but that's like a 10 minute job. i just did my 3060ti recently.

>haha bro just get this component that's sold out everywhere bro

>>105812052
if your games look good and you're not noticing any stuttering for your entire play sessions, what exactly would the issue be? i see people talking shit about my card here constantly but it runs all the new games i play perfectly

>>105812124
I've noticed I'm very susceptible to gear posts online making me second guess myself, but you're right, if it runs the games fine then there's no issue

>>105812089
>I'm just finding it hard to wade through all the autism and find the actual information

what more information do you need? sure, maybe you could have made a better choice (i don't know), but you already have the 4060 Ti in your rig
so don't worry about it (until the next upgrade)

>>105812138
Honestly curious what fud did you read about the 4060ti?

>>105812150
It seems there are two models, a 4060 TI with 8GB and a 16GB version, which I have
People said the 8GB version was extremely poor and outclassed by older cards

>>105812155
They probably said thay because you need 16gb for Max everything these days.
The 8gb to ti model seems silly when the regular 4060 is also 8GB

>going to add more fans, it's just annoying to put them on the list

>>105812155
the ram was the issue on the 8gb version (both the low capacity and the bus width)
the only questionable thing about the 16gb version is that they kept the same memory bus width but that doesn't really make a difference at 1080p and i'd say rarely at 1440p either. i'm guessing you're a 1080p gaymer?

>>105812264

if you're fine with 1080p, i'd say stick with it until next time you upgrade your gpu maybe
the limited memory bus width COULD cause some issues at 1440p, especially down the road, as games get more and more demanding (but it's unlikely to at 1080p)

Hello! I've been considering buying a new GPU (5070 Ti or 9070 XT, leaning towards the latter) as I've been struggling to run the Silent Hill 2 remake. I currently have an i5-10400f, 3060 Ti, 16 GB DDR4, and use a 1440p monitor. I'm unsure if I should also consider upgrading my CPU. At what point does it become evident that my CPU needs to be upgraded? I live near a Micro Center, so I'd probably go with one of their bundles (maybe the 7600x3D or 9800x3D) to pair with one of the aforementioned GPUs. Would I be fine with sticking to my i5-10400f, or is it kinda situational with the games I intend on playing? I don't really use my PC for anything other than web browsing and gaming.

Added an old hard drive and some tape to better duct the air . Also rearranged the lower PCI cards
Still throttles but its a little better.

>>105812875
I didnt remove the back plate I modified it for the better. Half of it wasn't doing anything but blocking the heat sink airflow .
Also gigabyte cheaped out and didnt even put any thermal pads on it so thr backplate wasn't doing any cooling before I added some extra pads I had in stock .
BTW I didnt damage the shroud so I can still use it with the stock fans fine .

Post your much better crafted GPU mods

...its like an Ork from 40k tried to make a gaming pc, and it worked, but only because the psychic WAAAAGH aura forced it to....

>>105813116
depends on the kind of games you play, but with 5070ti+10400f on 1440p you will probably run into cpu bottlenecks with something
aaaslop is almost always gpu bound
4x, grand strategies, esportslop are cpu bound

new steam performance monitor is an easy way to check what's limiting you, look it up
5000 super series might get announced early next year if you end up waiting

10400f should be more or less the same as 3600 which should still be in some benchmarks

>>105813116
You can get the video card first, see if you’re okay with the performance.
The CPU is around 5 years old, the Microcenter bundle will provide good value.

Isn't this just an indictment of AMD to have this much gas still left in the unoptimized tank half-way through the year despite the 9000 series cards' launch being delayed for release by several months, supposedly to work more on drivers?

>Isn't this just an indictment of AMD to have this much gas still left in the unoptimized tank half-way through the year despite the 9000 series cards' launch being delayed for release by several months, supposedly to work more on drivers?
does it matter if the card was priced according to its performance level at launch?

>>105813201
ngl I'm intrigued. seems like shit but not utter shit
for gpu you really need more surface. a lot more surface. can't do it on stock heatsink. needs phase change kit to move heat to more surface radiator

>>105813423

>>105813421
Ya its not really an adequate heat sync .
Fin density is to high for this low airflow setup and it doesn't even fill up to the end of the 2nd slot of thickness.
That said its the biggest 4060 heat sink I can find and I believe the 4060 is the best card for this even though the lowest you can set it is only 90w .

>kit
The closest thing I found is people using a Nh-P1 hacked onto a 4060 and I couldn't even fit the 1st NH-P1 without using a saw so a 2nd would be too much.
I wish someone made a triple slot passive kit with a fuck ton of heat pipes and low fin desnsity but I doubt the market will ever be there for passive consumer GPUs .

>>105812258
An OS, not even games, will never saturate the bandwidth of PCIe 5.0 NVMe. Makes no sense to waste the slot for this. Get a cheaper PCIe 4.0 SSD and put it in a 4.0 slot. Reserve the PCIe 5.0 slot for some IO heavy application that can make good use of it and get a larger SSD in that case, 4 or 8TB if it becomes available.

>>105813523
The more you know the limitations and constraints of given parts the more angry you get at the untechnical greed involved in gatekeeping better technology from consumers. For example, POST Code LED Readouts like on >>105813480 are extremely useful for troubleshooting issues and used to be found on $150 boards (they cost less than 50 cents to add) but now you are lucky to see them on boards costing $250 leading to posts like >>105813520.

Ignorance is bliss.

Is it worth bothering with this temp hysteresis thing in MSIAB to set up an autistic curve that still utilizes fan stop but avoids constant on/off switching when near treshold, or should I just not bother and leave the fans at min 30% at all times? For longevity.

>>105813520
Yeah, that's a really nice feature, more useful than many others they put on mobos nowadays.

>>105813544
If you don't need more than 30% than just set it at that forever.
Only use a curve if you actually need higher rpm at load but want to cope with silent idle.

>>105813543
> Ignorance is bliss.
Not if you want to know the reason for your system not booting.

>>105813550
Ah no I meant 30% as idle instead of fan stop, not actually at all times. Although it's a 5060ti with 3 fans, so even capping it at 30 would probably be just fine too.

>>105813523

That's not me talking up winblows 11, i hate it, there's a bug with most Unity games where the screen flickers and semi-alt-tabs away when im left-clicking, and i can't solve it, plus all the malware etc.

But aside from those issues, it still works, all my other apps work fine, and all modern components are almost entirely winblows 11 only compatible. Not to mention the security support ending for winblows 10 soon.

>>105813652
I had to choose between that and the ProArt PA602 (wood edition metal panel) because I wanted a 420 AIO in top mount. The ProArt finally won the competition for my wallet because it has excellent airflow but also full dust filtering and it has wheels in the rear and also the option to install standard office chair castors in place of the rubber feet. And bars on the top sides that allow to lift it more easily. And of course the wood elements that give it a nice touch. It wasn't cheap though.

>>105813914
i have had this thing for a few years now

Welp finally got an ips panel with a high refresh rate(165hz) plus vrr to replace my old va panel from 2017. Holy fuck why the fuck did i not upgrade before. Everything just looks and feels nicer.

>>105813870

what mobo will you buy?

Ram; get more than 32gigs of ram, otherwise good choice
Case; case is fine for the price, but a good case will last a literal decade+. Sure, the one you picked is okay and cheap, but why not a nicer one? you have no reason to upgrade from a nice case, the fans die? replace them for peanuts.

Also storage, putting the OS on a top-end M.2 drive is a total meme and will not improve your startup times. I have a nice SSD i put my os on, been using a samsung ssd like it for over 7+ years no problem, i'd be lucky to shave half a second off if i were to have my OS on my brand new 990 pro m.2

Also you need more storage, get a 4TB SSD or additional M.2 or whatever.

Pick a better brand power supply unless the PSU came in a bundle with the case

Njudea? eww, but understandable.

NZXT? they make decent AIOs, but at that price tag? you should be looking at a Phanteks aio, or a TRYX, for ultimate style points. Arctic freezer pro III is the best AIO for price+performance.

Ultrawides in theory are cool (even if I don't like curved screens they now can bend them at user-defined angles with both OLED & LCD). The problem is how they are executed:
http://screen-size.info/
https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/technology/ppi-calculator.php
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=768002160,512002160,512001440,344001440&sort=price&page=1
Going from a 32" 4K panel @ 137 PPI to a 34" 1440p UW @ 110 PPI is a downgrade despite the latter more often than not being more expensive than the former and often they skimp on vertical resolution too with 5120 x 1440 panels instead of 5120 x 2160 at the same or larger sizes. They also tend to nerf the refresh rate on ultrawides too except the most expensive ones.

3x1440p/4K high-refresh 27"/32" panels gives you more resolution and screen real estate for your money.

Are those fishtank cases actually any good? They look really easy to work with all that room.

>>105814576
>Are those fishtank cases actually any good? They look really easy to work with all that room.
Looks can be deceiving. Because of how the diagonal panels are angled + high floor of the PSU shroud it's more cramped than another of the same dimensions with a standard layout. They're good for AIO-based builds but awful if you go air-cooled.

>>105813201
I don't need to mod my Gpu because my case has amazing airflow (lian li lan cool 2 mesh performance) iv'e already posted my build in multiple pcbg threads my system is dead silent get's cleaned once a month cry moar nigger

I wish calling Best Buy wasn't the only way to get an MSRP 5090. Literally gambling to get a good rep.

>>105814750
What's the application? Main (OS) drive, game storage, bulk media, or something else?

just who am i supposed to contact for this? seller keeps telling me to fucking wait.

Its a Ryzen 5 7500F which im waiting, i already have the MB and ram sticks but this little shit is still stuck

>>105814808
main drive, I only really have one drive

so its basically main + game storage and that's it

>>105814938
Thanks. As a general rule you want TLC NAND and some form of RAM caching (onboard or HMB) for a main drive. If it's on a modern system you might as well go for a PCIe4 bus as well because the price difference, vs. 3.0, is basically non-existent. If your platform is PCIe3 then it doesn't matter; can maybe save a buck or two with a 3.0.

Going by US prices:
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#A=1000000000000,24000000000000&sort=price&c1=di_m2.pcie_40_x4
The cheapest model with those specs and no parts swapping BS is currently the Team MP44L at $58.

So, 9060XT actually looking like a reasonable upgrade over my aging 5700XT with just over twice the performance, though I am still tempted by the 9070 with roughly 3-4x

In Australia a lot of the budget pre builds do deals for specific parts so there is limited choice with some parts. I’ll look into getting a better case though thanks.
I have already purchased regular 4TB storage and have another SSD so I can split OS. But I hear what you’re saying about it not improving boot times etc. I think it’s just for making sure the dedicated SSD for OS doesn’t get cluttered up with other shit.

>waiting for Super.
So I get this, I am debating it. Issue is that let’s say it’s releases February 26. It will be scalped and be crazy over priced. And will have to wait another 6 months from release before prices and availability calm down. Correct me if I’m wrong - just looking at the last release, and they were only 16GB. Maybe to 5070ti would be better, but I’m struggling to find a decent deal on a 5070ti compared to this. Open to suggestions though
