The only thing that seems to excite me now is intel's GPU division. Radeon doesn't compete for shit with Nvidia (in fact they actually seem borderline complacent) so hopefully arc improves enough to eat into their market share. I really really hate that they're just okay with being nvidia but inferior, they're even copying their pricing strategy :/

>>105882147
Nothing is exciting about Intel Arc, they're just selling area-inefficient GPUs at cost or a loss because there's no other way to attract customers.
That isn't sustainable for R&Ding better GPUs.

The only good news is Intel Arc probably won't be shut down because they need to develop better GPUs to compete against Apple & AMD's mobile SoCs.

>>105882147
>>105882222
RADV is much better than Nvidia and Intel GPU drivers on Windows and Linux and its AMD/Valve exclusive.

>>105882147
amd and nvidia seem to care only about ai-slop, so if intelaviv will heavily focus on coomsummer market and gayming performance - well, there might be a chance.

It's the pathological liar's time to overstate the benefits of RADV.

>>105882286
>amd and nvidia seem to care only about ai-slop, so if intelaviv will
Intel is also invested in AI hardware-accelerated GPU technology, including Neural Texture Compression.

Everyone else follows NVIDIA's path.

>FOR STRIX HALO GRAPHICS

>>105882308
then we are fucked

>>105882222
that one guy who invested into intel before the death spiral must be pretty upset about the decimation of his fortune

>can get a LG C4 42" for 520$ less than a PG32UCDM
idk starting to feel like I might just take the tv pill after all this bullshit, don't know if I can stretch to 55" in size though might actually get too fucking large at that point, but the tvs are superior, and cost more though
we will see if they keep sales going for a bit might have to try it, too bad I missed an even cheaper C4 deals before

>>105882452
tv is terrible compared to a monitor
it has tv os that takes screenshots and sends the data to china
its ppi is bad because its so large, 32" 4k is much better
the monitors have vastly higher hz

>>105882452
don't do it, lg oleds have terrible real scene brightness and the abl on them are overkill. also woled has washed out colors in HDR.

>>105882521
1440p qd oleds with 360hz are like <650€ rn
people who arent neets should just buy one

>>105882521
just for clarification the real scene brightness is only bad BECAUSE of the auto brightness limiter that comes with the tv.

>>105882531
yep and the 1440p 240hz versions of those exact same qdoled monitors are even cheaper

What the fuck happened to all the cases that could hold a 5+ HDD for cheap prices?
Why did coolermaster stop making that old case and why are faggots on Ebay charging a premium for what used to be a budget case?

>>105882488
>tv os that takes screenshots and sends the data to china
windows does the exact same thing and sends the data to israel and washington dc

What do you think about XFX gpus?

I have an am3+ system lying around. Would it be a bad idea to buy an fx 8300 and 16gb of some cheap ram and an rx 480 and give it to my brother for school work and gaming. Poor kid's got some shitty laptop so I'd like to help him out a bit

>>105882759
no point, something like series S or steam deck would be vastly better gaming experience

>>105882488
>tv is terrible compared to a monitor
in what ways? it's better in everything, except ppi and higher hz now a days, and the fact that no qdoled exists in sub 55" range
>it has tv os that takes screenshots and sends the data to china
keep it offline, firmware updates is good though, also why china when it's koreans?
>its ppi is bad because its so large
same ppi as 27" 1440p
>32" 4k is much better
here we go into subjective opinion again, you can use less scaling more effectively on 42" too
already tried 32"
>the monitors have vastly higher hz
240 vs 144-165 currently, your one legitimate point, you sacrifice size and hdr for more hz

>>105882521
>lg oleds have terrible real scene brightness and the abl on them are overkill
should be better than all current oled monitors, real scene brightness in hdr is like a real 800 nits compared to monitors which are hovering the 400 line
this is before I even consider the 55" tiers which now we are talking 400-500 nits full screen and 2000 nits small window peak

>also woled has washed out colors in HDR.
again should be better than monitors, but yes I would want QD instead but no QD exists past 32 up to 55

>>105882531
that's for esports, this is the opposite
I don't think I would take 1440p high hz over 4k either
idk if I would take 27" over 32" either

>>105882545
all oleds have this though, and the tvs beat monitors, only way to escape this is buy miniled

>>105882768
Yeah and it would cost a lot more. I'm looking at it from 50 bucks or less point of view. Money is tight these days

>>105882773
colors on the right look more natural and you can see more shades colors on each berry

>>105882773
>all oleds have this though
the monitors can be set to true black 400 mode which should eliminate the aggressive abl
you only really miss out on small highlight brightness which is limited to around 450 nits but instead you get a more stable experience

>>105882807
shades of color*

>>105882625
The CoolerMaster N400 case is an option.
https://www.coolermaster.com/en-us/products/n400/?tab=tech_spec

>>105882698
XFX cards are okay, never the best. They don't care about setting silent/pleasant fan curves.

>>105882773
Lmao just buy something already, Mr. Maybe.

Wheres all the 4k 360hz pnels?

>>105882045 (OP)
Is Cybenetics supposed to say anything about if a PSU is dangerous?

>https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/1743/
Take the Gigabyte P750GM (first rev) for example, which according to SPL's PSU Tier List is known to explode. I'm not sure how to interpret that from Cybenetics's report, should I even be able to?

>>105882970
>XFX cards are okay, never the best. They don't care about setting silent/pleasant fan curves.
Are you able to set them yourself?

>>105882807
calibration is a whole other thing
lg woleds lean into green and shit by default
qd looks more reddish default
prefer lg on almost all these because he is running ambient light on the qd destroying the contrast anyway and dont know what settings hes running sdr on the monitor or something idk i forget

>>105882867
yeah but you are still competing against a real scene hdr 800 on the lg 42"
the monitors just dont have impressive hdr

>>105882988
4k240hz oled is effectively 360hz in terms of lcd clarity

>>105882992

Any news for when the new i3s release?
I think they might be pretty great for home server use.

>>105882488

some tv actually without overscan is tv but also monitor

does this tv of yours send these supposed screencaptures with analog tv signal

>>105883007
Yes, AMD's Adrenaline app allows you to set a custom fan curve.

imagine getting a 4k screen just to use fsr which makes everything look 1080p or worse

>>105883076
>overscan
what
> analog tv signal
???

>>105883071
There won't be any arrowlake based i3 afaik since the node is too damn expensive
The best you're gonna get for years to come is the i3-14100f

>>105883009
>not getting a factory calibrated monitor
Chad.exe

>>105882992
>>105883048
also why is Cybenetics certifications not included in SPL's spreadsheet? seems like an easy addition

>>105883009
Why didn't you buy the C4 late last year?
In the US, they were discounted to an all-time low last month.

>>105883184
oled tech has been steadily going down in price each year so theres no buying pressure during sales
it'd just get cheaper next year with better burn in resistance, better brightness, less brightness limiting, higher hz

>>105883175
IDK, the tier list is heavily based on Aris' (Cybenetics/HWBuster editor & testing lead) hardware reviews anyway.

for about 1000$ whats the best GPU for genning anime/videos and gaming?

>>105883225
you prob want to wait for the higher vram 5070/5080 variants
5070 ti super might be under 1k$

>>105883203
How long are you going to wait for the C5/etc. to reach those low prices though?

>>105883246
I wouldnt buy a woled
If I wanted a tv theres plenty of 55" qd oleds around 1k €
then if I wanted a monitor I'd get a 1440p 360hz qd oled for <650€

>>105883225
Used 3090ti?

>>105883225
5080 is $1000 msrp
good luck tho

>>105883184
Im not american is one factor
other factor is cheapest price for me last time was 800$ this is with special store events + discounted code
currently cheapest with coupons and a discount from lg directly is 860$
other factor was I was busy trying the qdoled 32" meme

>>105883203
>so theres no buying pressure during sales
you only buy tvs on sale periods
>it'd just get cheaper next year
the next models yeah
>with better burn in resistance, better brightness, less brightness limiting, higher hz
this years top tier tvs all were butchered

>>105883246
according to stats they will dip to regular sales price during nov sales but maybe not in /my country/

>>105883257
>S95F allegedly botched this year
>S95F works badly with PC use by default or at least worse than S95F and wonky OCB
>S90D in /my country/ only comes in QD at 65"
>S90F allegedly botched and still only comes in 65" for QD
>don't wanna buy any other manufacturer and there are no other options really
If you were to force my hand..... S95F. but I'm still unsure if 55" is doable on 31.496" distance
that's the only TV QD option

>then if I wanted a monitor I'd get a 1440p 360hz qd oled for <650€
all monitors cost way more than the LG 42", PG32UCDM is 520$ more

>>105883257
also
>If I wanted a tv theres plenty of 55" qd oleds around 1k €
go ahead and name them

>>105883329
For refrence the cheapest 55" QD on sale is 1600€ (S95D) for (Me)

Why not watch on your phone then? Or your smartwatch?

I also have no clue what size case I would need to fit this, so would appreciate help

>>105883344
its kinda annoying to search since samsung now uses Woled for some tvs
S95D prob goes to sale close to 1.1-1.2k € at some point

>>105883463
>DDR5 6000 CL36
you want 6000 CL 30. Samsung 9100 PRO is overkill unless you really move a lot of files. You need to check if you have the clearance to use the pre attached heatstink instead of the one from your motherboard.

>>105883451
>men live like this and think it's okay

>>105883479
>its kinda annoying to search since samsung now uses Woled for some tvs
yet you made extraordinary claims of such tvs being plentiful
>now uses Woled for some tvs
yes because no s90 in europe at 55 are qd, if they were it would be maybe 500-600 off more from a s95d

>S95D prob goes to sale close to 1.1-1.2k € at some point
1600€ is literally the dip they are not going lower 2500€ by standard

>>105883463
You don't need that psu, but feel free to future proof at the cost of efficiency.
Also, werent gigabyte mobos trash?

Try disabling MPO. It fixes multi monitor issues. Running 3 different displays is a insane stress test on the system and MPO is the first thing to break.

Mobo is a MSI MPG X870E EDGE, I am not the ram model in the compatibility site for the mobo which worries me. But 6000 cl 30 is the goal no?

Modern nvidia GPUs are literally for AI. No private person has any use for them.

>>105884116
MPO support allows graphics hardware to compose multiple layers of content into a single image that it can then display on a screen. It's essentially a hardware-accelerated method of compositing different planes of content without having to involve the CPU or use up other system resources to do the blending in software. A plane can be a video, the desktop, an application window, and so on. The hardware can then take these planes and combine them into a single image that is sent to the display. The GPU/System can also gain some power savings as it's using the fixed function hardware rather than the shader engine or CPU.

>>105884219
It's synchronizing your apps across the displays that's troublesome. Software is more complex today than 30 years ago. WDDM didn't even exist until Vista.

Cheap prices are out of fashion, but at least the cases exist.
The anidees AI Raider XL has 12x5.25" bays, and every three of these bays can host the common third-party modules that host 5x3.5" devices (often with a front fan included). There are also 1x5.25 to 4 or 6 2.5" converters. Other combinations are available.
Being a third-worlder I'll make do with an old 12x5.25" empty DVD duplicator case I bought for peanuts:
https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-2759827501-torre-de-dvd-gabinete-de-12-baias-_JM

>>105882045 (OP)
If I'm on the fence about building a gaming pc, should I just go for it now since in a month or so the cost will be double due to tariffs?

I am wondering how do you mount Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 at the front?

>>105884699
Looks good to me for a basic build with some upgrade options down the line. I would tell them to just spend the extea $40 and get an 850w psu though so they don't habe to worry about any future gpu. It's not that much more money for something you can just keep using into the future.

>>105884820
like how you mount front case fans. the only thing you're adding is the radiator behind the fans.

>>105884809
If you're worried about tariffs, it makes sense to build a PC right now.

>>105884832
But will it fit? Like the screws on that AIO are already attached? If I remove and then place it at the front and screw back wont it be too short?

>>105884802
and since they're normies, and not gayming enthusiasts, wouldn't it be better to recommend a 5060?
not like they're going to be gayming with 4k on their shitty dell monitor anyway

>>105884846
>will it fit
depends on your case

the aio already includes all the screws necessary to mount it on top or front as exhaust or intake.

>>105884699
tbqh at 600 USD before GPU a console does sound like a better option for a normie

>>105884858
I am thinking about DeepCool CH370

>>105884877
True but then the games are much cheaper on steam and if they're smart enough to watch a youtube video they can pirate and emulate anything they want.

>>105884881
it supports 360 aios but again it will depend on if your gpu is too long or something.

>>105884896
The GPU I am looking at states 300mm in length

>>105884776
yes the main point is that this a system that works pretty well as is (not gaming) and you could later put a gpu on
>for that price point they'd might as well buy a ps5 (lol)
>or a series s (LMAO)
or a laptop, yes
but this is something they could upgrade and probably is gonna be working for a long time
>>105884830
yeah but i would say 750w should be enough though
>>105884877
>>105884889
this is also to recommend to a guy that was going to spend 3k on his first build just cause
like sure you can just buy a ps5 for the budget option or you could build something for 1k that you can use for a while

>>105884913
should be fine then

>>105884848
thats fair
amd drivers are fine right now though

need some help please
I swapped my gpu but now my computer won't start anymore, no POST beeps, one system fan doesn't go on, and I am not sure if the cpu fan is spinning either. The gpu clip on the motherboard has come lose (fucking piece of shit was hard to let go of the gpu) and I hit the chipset a few times with a screwdriver by accident trying to push the gpu clip down. The chipset doesn't really look damaged apart of very small surface cuts of plastic, or is it dead?

Would this be a good airflow setup?

>>105885057
Change the top fans to outward facing

>>105885057
This is the current meta. Side fans go in so long as they are low or towards the front of the case.

>>105885114
>>105885117
Thank you bros, I will do that then. AIO at front, fans below to cool GPU and top an rear as exhaust

>>105885117
thats only better if you have a air cooler on cpu. if you have an aio or 300+ w gpu then 2 top exhaust are better.

use this picture as the OP next time

>>105885117
I agree with noctua's 1 in 1 out top fans stance but I'm with Fractal on their rear fan is pointless stance

>>105885168
> AIO at front
This is le bad. It slows down air intake and blows warm air into the case resulting in less airflow and possible even negative pressure.

>>105885168
Aio goes at the top blowing outward

>>105885293
I could do a reverse then?
Rear, top and bottom intake and front exhaust?
>>105885302
The case I am looking at only supports 240 at the top and I am going to cool a 9800x3D doubt it will be sufficient

>>105878904
but the psu works? I did the green-black wire shorting thing and it works normally (the psu)
why the fuck led lights do not go on???
I bought the motherboard refurbished 2 year guaranty from MSI itself so no way motherboard is faulty right? I deadass brought the motherboard from USA to Caucasus because it was 40% cheaper, I cant return it

>>105884881
> DeepCool CH370
Micro-whatever sucks. You pay for the "cute" look by sacrificing options, restricting number and size of components and cooling. It just sucks. SUCKS.

>>105884666
Silent Wings 4 are excellent case fans but the Dark Rock 5 is rather expensive and not as effective as other cheaper coolers.

>>105885310
A 240mm AIO would handle a 9800X3D just fine. AMD over-juiced it to "win" benchmark graphs but it still doesn't draw much in games.

>>105885310
I've been using an old NH-D15 on my 9800x3d since day one, no problems.

There are plenty of 2x120 AIOs that will beat that, in terms of cooling. No idea about noise.

>>105885293
wrong and overstated

>>105885302
it can go both. you actually want front because better cpu temps otherwise why did you buy the aio?

>>105884090
It's a good price for 96GB at those timings but what do you need that capacity for? Your 8-core has me assume that you don't build a "workstation". If you build a gaming rig then the faster 64GB CL28 would be the cheaper and (only slightly) faster choice.

>>105885372
>>105885413
I will think about it

>>105885528
It makes it easier to plug/unplug your cables in compatible cases. Not a big deal unless you're constantly swapping components and ofc you need to check compatibility.

>>105885310
> Rear, top and bottom intake and front exhaust?
No case is designed for this, it would be less effective. Just mount the rad in top with full length exhaust, three unobstructed fans in front (look at the mounting frame and remove any obstructing parts that are often there to take smaller fans) for maximum front intake. Rear fan and bottom fan are only auxiliary and less efficient, you run into diminishing returns quickly.

>>105885491
normalfags are retarded. more news at 12.

>>105885575
i see. roughly how much are you limiting your case options by choosing this?

>>105885310
> The case I am looking at
Think "out of the box"! Look at another case. Always choose the case with best functionality and usability.

>>105885610
Out of all the cases out there? Massively. Out of all the mid towers you'd actually buy today? Not much. Really the side plugs are no big deal for the normal user - don't change your case just to fit one. Especially as they're often relatively expensive compared to standard layout units.

liquid freezer 3 is obnoxious to install holy hell

>>105885691
meshify 3 xl is pretty gigantic so the space wasn't the issue
mounting screws just felt very uneven, i dunno why they even bothered with the fancy screws, regular screws wouldn't have this issue

>>105885727
if a fan has special screws its probably to do with managing vibrations

>>105884666
>Dark Rock 5's Silent Wings 4 are the best noise-optimized fans out of the three options.
Seems so. Apparently the Dark Rock 5 is about the same as the Freezer 36 in terms of dB levels, though I don't know how it sounds exactly, I kinda trust Be Quiet's to sound better...maybe...hopefully.
>>105884669
>I don't know about the other two but I've heard a few times that the Freezer 36 is more of an Intel cooler than an AMD one.
Ah, yeah, from reviews I've seen, it's always tested on an Intel CPU, so it's hard to tell. But would it not be similar preformance on AMD? Does it matter much? If so I'll skip it. Kind of a shame to do that though because it seems to be pretty good.
>>105885365
>but the Dark Rock 5 is rather expensive
It's like $60. Not too bad, plus I think it looks good, better than other cheaper options.
and not as effective as other cheaper coolers.
I know those Thermalright or ID-Cooling coolers are pretty good and cheaper, but they don't look as good and I'm unsure of the build quality/longevity, though that may be unfounded. As for temperatures, I'm sure the Be Quiet one would be perfectly fine, they all seem to be fairly close performance-wise, just not the price, but I'm willing to spend a bit more to get something I at least think looks better and feel better about the quality and everything.

Then that leaves the Scythe Mugen 6 Dual Fan version. I think it looks pretty cool and has cool packaging, though the performance may not be as good as the others, but it seems good enough and I care more about sound/noise anyway. But I don't know how it sounds. Also iirc it was tested on Intel again, so I don't know how it'll preform on AMD, unfortunately. Also I hate that hole cutout on the cover thing. They should've made it removable so it covers the hole and doesn't have a cutput. That alone makes me not want to but it.

>>105885685
> liquid freezer 3 is obnoxious to install holy hell
I managed to do it and I only have "two left hands", motorically challenged i.e.
But I oc know what you mean. Protip: do a "dry" install once w/o paste but foil still on the cooler for protection to learn the perfect process, then uninstall and reinstall with paste applied. Always works for me.

>>105885685
Maybe a month ago I put a Liquid Freezer 3 Pro 360 in my nephew's hand-me-down build. People always cry about mounting it, but I didn't have problems.

Used a Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet, which is a bit more fiddly. Because it's so lightweight & can slide out of place if you breathe the wrong way.

>>105885753
> It's like $60
Oh I see, it's not the Pro and neither the Elite. But with 210W it also isn't as effective. Still enough for 8-cores though.

hey fanophile autist, why does the 6x fans that came stock with my Antec flux pro, + the arctic freezer aio 3x fans, sound much quieter than the 3x fans that came stock with my corsair 760T graphite case from ages ago?

Is it a case of general fan design improving and refining itself over time? Or is antec's fans actually just really good?

>>105886462
it's probably better to not build a 500w gpu and 250w cpu into a small box

>>105886462
you'd use low power cpu from AMD that requires a low profile air cooler
then the gpu is simply placed vertically in the case and watercooling would just be annoying + cost a lot more

Do I need variable speed case fans?

>>105886616
Yes but you don't need pwm
Almost all fans are variable speed if your MOBO supports changing voltage on the fan headers

>>105886529
the pcie bus clocks down at idle when you have aspm enabled in your os/bios. its a power saving feature.

>>105886631
So fixed speed is fine? I was gonna get the ARCTIC F12 5 pack and I was wondering if I needed the one that had multiple speeds or if I would be fine with the one that was just 1350rpm.

>>105886660
99% of fans are variable speed if you connect them to your MOBO .
Even the ones that don't advertise them

>>105886503
Yep, you got it!

>>105886660
there are 3 pins on those fans: power, ground, and tach
the tach reports the rpm. you can modify the rpm by changing the voltage of the power
a 4th pin is sometimes used for finer control of the fan, especially at very low rpm that you would just not be able to reach by reducing the voltage.
a 2 pin fan would be a fixed speed, power and ground only.

>>105886427
AIOs are more effective, can dissipate more heat more quickly, can have their large part, the radiator, almost anywhere, even outside of the case, premium air coolers are not (much) cheaper, they make for a cramped case, block easy access to headers around the CPU socket, DIMMS etc. and they can't buffer as much heat as a large radiator can, they need to react more quickly to CPU activity by spinning their fans up and down again which creates a nervous and annoying noise pattern even if it's not loud. With a radiator you can put one or two temp sensors in between it's fins and have the fans only react to the rising temperature of the radiator which takes longer and happens much more slowly than with the heat sink of an air cooler resulting in a less annoying noise pattern. This is my personal experience with air coolers and AIOs over several generations.

>>105886427
It cools better than air coolers and doesn't block the socket/ram area, allowing you to mount fans to cool the ram and overclock much better

okay then, but it doesnt look very good. Tiny gpu waterblock, massive pipes, its disjointed, the color scheme is bad, maybe a grey or coloured case would work with the blacks, but white doesnt fit.

Mines a half-assed attempt at a colour-scheme, i screwed up with the wrong mobo purchase, and even then, its more aesthetic.

Your rad fans are intake, rear fan exhaust, shroud fans "exhaust" downwards, and then the very bottom side fans are intake. That is a plain schizo fan setup.

Any ultrawide bros know if this is a decent entry point? My desk isn't massive so I figured I'd go one below 34" and purchase this model here,

- LG 29 Inch 29WQ600-W UltraWide Monitor with 21:9 FHD(2560 x1080) IPS

The only other option within my price range is a Samsung (Which physically looks better) but everyone online seems to say LG makes better monitors and to avoid Samsung. I don't know if this just some meme or if it's true, would love some input on if there are any better options out there for under $300.

>>105889262
What is the price? Decent budget 1440p monitors are going under $200 now. Might as well get one of those if you're space-limited because you lose the "benefits" of UW at such a small size.
Plus 100Hz is an awkward refresh rate. Too low for competitive gaming (though fine for casual/AAA stuff). Also not an integer multiple of 60 or 24, and not high enough to where it doesn't matter, so suboptimal for media.

>>105889671
Price of the LG is $315 CAD.
The other option is this - 'Samsung 34-inch QHD Black 100Hz 5ms LED FreeSync High Resolution Monitor (LS34C50DGANXZA)' which is $330 CAD.
I saw a couple people mention though that if you go above a 29" UW you should at a minimum get a 1440p as 1080p looks like shit at the larger sizes.

you dont need to run fans at 2k, with a decent airflow case you can have your intakes running at like 600-700rpm which is basically silent. I have some 140mm silent wings 4 fans running slow like that, and 120s on the air cooler (AK620, 9800x3D which is easy to cool anyway)

if the case has less airflow you need to ramp fans more to get the same result. but i'd start with low fan curves in the bios first, test with games/rtss overlay, then increase the curve if needed.

for example, these are with 2 140mm intakes, 1 exhaust, and the CPU cooler is 2 120s. current/min/max/average:

The KTC M27P6 seems VERY popular in Japan. Seems like every PC gaymer over there has one. I hope it's really good.

you dumb retards are so predictable. you put yourself into this predicament to be mad because you tried to talk about something you don't understand. silence yourself and go back to being stupid somewhere else

>>105890188
I did change the fan curve so its around 1000rpm, but the 9800x3d is always 50C at idle now. 2000rpm can only reduce it by 2 degrees so I guess it doesnt matter. What are your CPU temps?

>>105890517
>no, YOU are mad
Cry more.

Mini LED is big in China, Europe, and Asia. The burgers are still obsessed with their burn in machines

I got MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI but this thing has almost nothing in bios, only basics. Is this how mobos are made nowadays? It can't even discard changes on exit.

>>105890536
your mistake was going MSI instead of ASUS

I bought a 5080 non-OC but I ended up receiving an OC card. Should I return it?

>>105890612
Yup. Ask for a refund on your brain cells too!

>>105890536
it is simple - you do not buy things /g/ tells you to buy, but you buy things /g/ tells you not to buy

>>105890522
zen 5 idles around that range, my old intel was like 30c but it also didn't have the vcache stacked, plus these chips are made to run at tjmax (90C is normal)

but with the x3Ds you dont even need a high fan curve, otherwise fans will ramp up and down which is annoying. I think my cpu fans peak at 1000-1200rpm? most of the time it's around 800-1000 (silent, 120s silent wings and the ak620 is in the middle of the case basically)

the only time 9800x3D ever draws more than 100w is shader compilation and even then it's like 120W max which is basically nothing. for gaming (ie cyberpunk with path tracing, for testing) it's using like 60-70 watts.

but yeah, CPU fan curve adjust it for noise (no spikes to 2k, it does nothing anyways). fun fact, I did cinebench at stock (1800rpm on the stock ak620 fans) and did it at 1000 rpm max, and the score was basically the same. So, adjust for noise.

>>105890612
NTA but my 9800X3D idles at 42C with a Liquid Freezer II 360 with MX6 paste. I've never seen it dip below 40c at idle it always hovers around 40-45.

>>105890522
package temps on 9800x3d are retarded at idle

>>105890685
meant for
>>105890522

>>105890687
but the temps and performance under gaming/productive workloads are insanely good, so it's fine. I still cant believe how little power it uses and can still beat intels drawing 300. vcache is good stuff.

My brand new Zotac 5060Ti sounds like a HDD.
Any ideas why it makes crunchy noises under load? Scrolling 4chan and moving objects in Fusion360 makes it crunch.

>>105890522
9800x3d with an ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme 38 - 41 °C idle and below 80 °C under load using the standard fan curve that sounds like a yet turbine once the CPU hits 70°C.

>just added a 4TB HDD for media storage on top of the 1.5 TB SSD for apps.

All set for the next 5 years bros.

>>105890726
I have no idea, but I'd suggest trying to return it if you can, because Zotac is shite.

so sick of this frustration free plain cardbox box packaging half the time you can't tell if it's official or if it's some 3rd party scammer

>>105890815
But is there actual proof that Zotac is bad or is it simply down to fanboys in the hobby fighing over Playstation and Xbox?

>>105890726
coil whine
could be better or worse with another card

>>105890685
>>105890764
Which temps do you even check for CPU i HWinfo64? There are like 10.

>>105891021
I had a 1080 with coil whine, but it actually sounded like capacitors under load. This to me sounds pretty different.

>>105890726
You sure it's not PSU? I had some shitty one in past and it was screeching when I was moving mouse around.

>>105891051
well it's obviously something in the card making that noise specifically under load

>>105890985
They use cheap and unreliable fans and their GPUs often have the worst vrms (i.e. components, number of power phases) among aibs too

>>105890985
I don't think there are any AIB fanboys, they just have a shit rep. For the fans in particular. I've owned one myself, and it was indeed garbage, so I won't be risking it again.
Don't buy a Ventus either.

>>105890522
After a certain point the bottleneck is the heat transfer from the spreader to the cold plate of your cooler and then to the medium towards the heatsinks (heat pipes or liquid coolant). Having the fans work harder means you have slightly colder returning water and so it can lower temps, but only by so much.

best video editing software for amd? resolve lags my ass off when i do stuff in fusion

>>105891043
Temperature value comes for me from AIDA64 and is shown on the AIO LCD. Checking HWInfo the CPU Tctl/Tdie is around 53°C while the display shows 41°C which seems to be the Tdie value.

Not exactly a PC, but I can't find a chair related thread.

Zotac got a bad rep for scalping RTX 30 cards back in the COVID-19 lockdown.
I'd say only Gigabyte shit the bed this gen because of their thermal gel bullshit.

Try to OC + undervolt that card, it might lessen the coil whine if that's causing the noise.
Set a +120~150MHz offset for the GPU core curve on Afterburner to OC it.
Follow the video guide below to set a voltage cap anywhere between 925~950mV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOU
The link below is a written guide; you need to save the OC profiles. You can also set it to apply on Windows bootup (stability test before applying this).
https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia%20Overclocking.md

If you don't want to do the undervolt thing, you can set a lower power limit (around 140~150W) after you OC'd the core curve.

Check if there's any debris near/inside the fan shroud, use an air duster (hold the fan(s) in place).

you're trolling me right? do the open source and radv rocm whatever weigh in that hard? i don't believe it

There's one Linux + Radeon shill in this thread who's got Windows + NVIDIA stuck in his head rent-free™.

>>105891139
If a Ventus' problems are loud fans and insufficient heatsink density then that's a much better problem to have than poor internal components.

another guy fixed it by switching modules

doubt. don't even get full power on troonix but I do on windoze. loonix limits me to 340w or something, but win I get 370w lmao
