>>106464240 (OP)
Gonna repurpose my old AM4 build into an matx format and put it in the living room hooked up to the TV. Could be fun for playing media and firing up coop games. Just need a mobo and case. Already ordered a B550M with wifi and bluetooth, and am thinking of doing the Lian Li A3 for case.

My 5070 come with this anti sag dildo. Look ugly and out of place but they include it means I should use it? How big is the problem with gpu sag anyway I never had problem but then I only used dual fans gpu before. Reddit is adamant about using it or else I'll break the pcie port and burn my house down but then they told me I'd die if I didn't take the vaxx.

It is so over for poorfags

>>106464442
Moving the pc with a card in can fuck up the slot, just sitting there it's unlikely.

>>106464484
Even Ultra is borderline poorfag config.

>>106464488
I thought it's common knowledge you should remove gpu and tower cooler when moving the pc? Guess Im alright then.

>>106464484
>Reflex 2

>>106464484
>Mid range cards are enough for 4k 60fps + ray tracing
>b580 (roughly half a 5070 and 9070) presumably good for the same thing with framegen
>Otherwise no mention of up scaling to hit targets
Looks like poorfags be eating good. Even on the low end it looks like a 2060 super would be good for 1080p60fps.
Also looks like this is the first release with reflex 2 right?
>>106464518
>I thought it's common knowledge you should remove gpu and tower cooler when moving the pc?
You'd be surprised
If the card is uniformly sagging down that's usually totally cool if it's not too extreme, seeing a difference in the height between the front and back is whats sketchy.

>>106464415
height clearance should be fine, my current cooler is 0.5mm smaller than my picked one and I still got like 5-6 mm extra clearance

>>106464241
>24GB VRAM for 5070 Ti
this is so dumb

>>106464610
I'm curious whether the base 6070 & 6070 Ti will have these memory capacities.

>>106464442
Are you not capable of using a level to determine if it makes a difference or not?

>>106464633
Right now no but I don't doubt that it'll eventually happen over time. The question is would that be a huge issue? Never heard anyone breaking their gpu or motherboard irl due to sag.

Thoughts on ASUS Pro CSM business motherboards?

>>106464484
having a 16 core x3d cpu in there seems super random, like what is the 2nd ccd with no x3d meant to accomplish, and 14900k because...?
how multithreaded is the game? Is the game mining bitcoin in the background

>>106464683
I feel like you can just use your eyes to see if there is a difference as well, I hope those are available. Yes, that can cause issues down the road if it sags enough. I don't think pcbs/pcie slots were designed to support some of the coolers that are coming on these gpus.

Would it be dumb to buy a 5080 right now? I'd be coming from a 3070

>>106464484
thats entirly reasonable THO. not that i believe it will run well at recommended but if it did that would be fine.

>>106464484
>It is so over for poorfags
it's been over for a while man but I still see 9800X3D/4060 builds out there, shit is crazy

>>106464768
its poor value compared to 5070 ti
then the 24gb super versions are out soon

If someone in /pcbg/ built this exact machine they'd rightfully be called retarded

yet here we are

14900K and a B580 for 4K60 (+RT ++FG)

>>106464746
Lol at that snarky comment. I meant I can see its not sagging at all. Have you or know anyone who ever gotten problem with it beside the aesthetic?

decided to return the NZXT H5 Flow case, lots of marketing on that one and I fell for it but at the end of the day its a case with no removable mesh filters, thank god for the free return period

>>106464846
That makes a bit more sense, the 5070 cooler might just be small enough for it to not matter. I don't know anyone with one of the larger coolers who didn't just setup a support, but I can imagine the pcb being anything other than flat will lead to issues with enough heat cycles.

Computer randomly died Friday. Psu seems to work so I got a new motherboard but when I got it all put in when I press power button lights and fans just come up for a moment before it goes back down. Never seen this before, any ideas?

I'm using an old VG248 from 2013. Would a modern IPS have a better response time ? or is the chad TN panel THAT good ?

Fan Control is the greatest piece of software ever released.

>>106464933
is your mobo asrock and the cpu 9800x3d
if yes try rma the broken cpu

>>106464971
New mobo is Asus but its 13700kf

>>106464933
>lights and fans just come up for a moment before it goes back down
cpu most likely

>>106464988
then try rma the cpu
it prob degraded

>>106458943
>LG C4, like all oleds I know, flicker at low rgb values in the refresh rate interval. So LG C4 flickers at 144 Hz if you display rgb 31 or something along those lines. Reviewers overlook this because they are fucking retarded
Anonsan explain what you mean by this exactly, I game my reply last thread

>>106464939
too lazy to check values but you had ips' that were challanging more modern TNs for a while now so probably faster pixels and before accounting the hz too
so most likely yes but dependent on panel
ultra high end ipses were kinda currently killed or died off due to absurd pricing in certain regions so I wouldn't even buy them since oleds ate their lunch
but now I can't cope with oleds so idk anymore, maybe woled
but it would be an upgrade all around pixles, hz, color, viewingangles I guess

>>106464518
just fucking put a brace you nonce
if you dont like that one then use a different one, fucking cut a pencil to size or a piece of construction cardboard tubing, or a stack of legos, or a fucking brace from amazon
It literally can only benefit you, there is absolutely no downside whatsoever

>>106464992
>>106464997
Seems like one of the 4 ram sticks also is bad. I have no idea how while I was asleep mobo and a stick of ram died like this, theyre only 2.5 years old

>>106464484
>ULTRA
>4k 60 fps
>ULTRA (W/ frame generation)

>>106465087
does the pc start when using 2 sticks only

>>106465099
Starts when 1, 2, or 3 sticks are in

>>106464779
anon im gonna pirate and play that game on my 5600x 3060TI and there is nothing nobody can do to stop me

>>106465128
do the error leds light up for cpu problem

>>106465156
Im not sure i didn't see, are you thinking the CPU is actually broken and only able to handle 4 RAM sticks and not that any one of them is actually bad?

>>106465189
Just check the mobo when you start the pc. unless it mega cheap one it should have error leds

if it was the 1 broken ram stick then the pc should work normally when you have 2 in
13000 line cpus had degradation issues so its possible its fucked, assuming you used it for years.
Its possible the cpu is fine and its other parts/unplugged cables/poorly seated parts ofc.

>>106465220
I will try different configurations of the ram. Like I said it starts with 1, 2 and 3 sticks of ram in but I didnt try various combinations to see if it's always the same stick of ram that makes it stop. I dont really want to buy a new cpu and I dont exactly need 64 go of ram but not sure how I would be able to tell how stable it is. If I do have to get a new cpu as well then it would probably be better to return the mobo and get a lga 1851 cpu/mobo i assume

>>106464484
>9800X3D
>5090
I'm good

>>106465267
>>106465220
It does seem like the stick, if i take out one of the good 3 and replace it with this bad stick it still doesnt turn on. With the bad stick in i didnt notice that any of these lights even flashed on. With that one stick out the CPU flashed red momentarily and the DRAM light was orange for some of the startup and when on no lights are on, which seems like normal behavior to me

how comes everybody on this board has a 5090
literally everybody

Poorfag with a 4080 here. Where do I pirate game safely?

>>106465490
This is a white mans board, and all white men use a 5090. Straight white men will then pair that with a raptor lake i7/i9 or a 265k/285k, gays will use an x3d.
>>106465491
old.reddit.com/r/freemediaheckyeah.

>>106465473
my pc always blinks the cpu led for a few sec, I assume its related to 1 x4 cpu power cable not being plugged in

reddit posts mention mobo battery change issue
psu power cable issue
clear cmos
thermal paste on cpu pins issue

so go figure

>>106465491
i torrent all my games (well most)
have access to a public torrent page like 1337.to for example and then maybe work on getting an invite to a private torrent tracker
some torrent clients also have a built in search function like qbittorrent
Depending on your country you might want to use a vpn

PISS OUT MY ASS

>>106465490
>4090 was the only perf upgrade u can buy last time
>5090 is the only perf upgrade u can buy now
tech stalled and u dont get perf upgrades except paying, everyone pooled up to the max tier because there is no where else to go
along with buying into the most price effective card, because it either holds or gains value over time, like buying into real estate market, it costs a bit to get in, but then you are in
this is jensen end goal everyone on a 90 series
he cornered the market

>>106465510
I'm a honorary nigger (balkanigger)

is it worth buying a 9600x over a 7600 if the price difference is just 10%?

>>106465773

homo thugs ridin' with amd

How do I know if the am5 platform is training RAM or something is wrong? I heard that it could take up to 45 minutes?

>>106465773
Yes

>>106465915
do I even want to upgrade to am5 or just wait for am6 with ddr6 ram
seems troublesome if am5 pc is black screening for an hour and they think it could be normal

>Ips sucks
>VA sucks
>Oled sucks
i cannot buy a new monitor

>>106465915
Mine took like ~2 mins to train RAM for the first couple startups. I flipped the RAM training memory on in BIOS and set it to retrain every 30 days. Now my avg BIOS is 20 seconds. But still longer than my old AM4 build

>>106466045
Which setting is that called?

>>106465973
>upgrade to am5
From what?
Did you get a 5700x3d back when it was $150 ?

Why are there no 55+ inch IPS tv's anymore? I don't want fucking flickering burning out OLED. I don't want smearing haloing VA/miniled. I just want a normal fucking tv that lasts forever like they used to.

>>106466082
I think it depends on your mobo, but on my MSI it's called Memory Context Restore. It will remember the trained timings and just stick with that each startup. You can also select the time interval for it to recheck and rerun the analysis. Should be under OC/DRAM settings

How do I get the Chinese to make me a custom screen. I don't understand why there aren't portrait targeted monitors yet that are "wider" when in portrait/vertical orientation. Is such a thing even possible? What resolution would it be at?

>>106466097
>IPS
>last forever
Nice joke. My last IPS TV got stuck pixels and dead backlight after 3 years.

>>106466089

Is there a large leeway for error when building a PC? Don't wanna break an expensive piece.

>>106466506
it's 44 if you include 120hz monitors as originally specified.

>>106466558
Only part you can really fuck up and proven your fault is the motherboard/cpu pins. The rest you either can correct easily or RMA. Take that information as you will.

>>106466043
If you are not forced what's the point
depends on what you want though
idk if all the downsides are that bad

>>106466097
I know there a tv IPS panel that is on 75"

>>106466411

might fuck around and buy the el cheapo Gigabyte ones

>>106466558
as long as you don't bend motherboard pins, crack your ram, crack gpu pcie slot

>>106466573
sorry, 43 total options.

>>106466618
there are some duplicates listed4xrrw

>>106466558
its always a risk
making a small judgement error, being a bit too impatient, dropping shit, scraping things with a screwdriver can destroy hundreds of dollars in a second

you can minimize the risks by watching a video of someone building a pc. Understanding the basics, taking the time to read the mobo/case manuals for instructions. Having good environment to build with soft surfaces, good light, right tools.

The parts most likely to be fucked are am4 cpu pins, or you smear thermal paste on active areas. The mobo as it has large attack area and individual components. Gpu, ram and ssd can be fucked if you insert them incorrectly using force. Dont use 3rd party psu cables. The cpu cooler is heavy and maybe you let the case drop and it rips the mobo apart.

What's the real downside of minileds compared to IPS beside the price?

>>106466690
often its problematic firmware, the minileds dont work flawlessly or are annoying to fiddle with, and usually you paid minileds with VA tech for less bloom thanks to better native contrast.
IPS sucks image quality wise so on tha front theres no downside to not using va minileds, va obviously has slower pixel response times so theres more smearing but its tolerable. You would not buy VA miniled for competitive fps games.

You must be a special kind of retard if you could break the RAM or GPU by forcing them in. I was 11 didn't know shit about computer, didn't know video tutorial existed and could open the PC and insert my new RAM stick. It can literally go in one way.

>>106466605
>>106466615
>>106466646
So mainly I need to be careful to slot things correctly and in the right place, thanks for the warnings and advice bwos!

>>106466758
You'll be fine. Just dont jam things in, be slow with any screwdriver work, and be gentle with the fan headers.

what other case besides fractal north have mesh side intake with fan intakes for gpu cooling

>>106466170
what do you need AM5 for? Why not just upgrade your GPU

>>106466690
Everything has a glow around it, you won't notice it until you are told about it though. My friends tv has it and I didn't notice until I learned about it here but now I can't not see it.

>>106466864
IPS has glow too but never bothered me. Is it worse with minileds?

>>106466896
I watch stuff more than game now and it's beginning to grate on me

>>106466902
I have an OLED TV for that. I wear glasses though so even that has a glow lmao.

>>106466896
on ips the glow shows as elevated black levels everywhere
on miniled you can have hdr and have absolute black square next 1k + nit area which will bloom next to the dim square.

>>106466896
It's different, IPS just has static glowing that makes blacks a bit greyer. minileds make things "halo" which gives objects a glowing ring around them. It's much more noticeable and annoying to look at.

Built a new PC but now it sits in the corner and I am still on my shitbox. Why did I even bother...

>>106467016
sounds tough.

Yes Im vaccinated and boostered. How could you tell?

>>106467016
Let me guess you got the Modernia shot didn't you? Well there's no helping you at this point, might as well send your computer to me since you aren't going to use it.

hi anons, can I get a glance over for my build
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KTdvJn
I boughteded the msi 5070ti trio already since that shit keeps going in and out of stock and other anons said GPU never go on sale for black friday (if at all) and maybe theres also another drought coming later this year
just want to know if all the components are ok plus thoughts on the monitor if you own it
its for gaming and video editing and I want it to last 8 years minimum without changing much
before you say it, the 5090 goes for 3500 usd in my country and the 5080 goes for 1500 usd. The 5070ti was barely above 900 so thats why I pulled the trigger on it

>>106467031
What delightfully retarded slop.

>>106467068
thats no aislop, thats 1000 years in photoshop

>>106467065
whats up with the random 1 and 2 tb nvmes. just use 4tb's for video

What application actually uses that much ram? Local llms?
You probably want an oled monitor so you dont have to game on an ips. Might help with vid editing since how else do you see accurate black levels or hdr.

>>106467108
>>106467065
the 2tb is gen5 for os and main programs, just cause I can
the 1tb is for cache only
for ram its recommended in the OP, I also know 64gb is enough, but 96gb is cause I can, if its detrimental ill just go 64gb. the 96gb kit is 6000mhz cl30 so its both fast for gaming and high capacity for productivity applications
Man, is oled really that good? the fucking burn in keeps looking like a problem and im one of those sickos that leaves a screen on one thing for longer than 15mins. the real main issue i have with oled is text fringing compared to ips, unironically the fringing on oled gives me a headache for how wrong it looks in my eyes

>>106467065
>>106467257
>9950x3d

I would divert funds from the random m.2 drives you threw in into an aio.

>>106467257
Id get 64gb ram, it feels a bit silly to spend more while compromising on the gpu that actually gets used.
until lg releases an rgb strip panel the oleds will have unusual sub pixel structure, guess you could do something like have an 55" oled tv and its so far away that you dont notice the fringing. Or look out for a 27" 4k oled with extremely high ppi.

How far away would you have to sit to do that? Would 6 feet be enough?

Intel's upcoming "Nova Lake-S" introduces a completely new microarchitecture and under-the-hood enhancements. However, the appearance of the latest shipping manifests indicates that Intel is ensuring its partners receive early samples to make necessary software/firmware optimizations. And now, it appears that the 52-core top SKU will ship with speeds that may exceed 5.0 GHz. An early engineering sample confirms the appearance of test hardware in partner shipments, which means that Intel is already moving validation pieces to OEMs and cooling vendors so they can start tuning systems well ahead of qualification samples and mass production. The 52-core part is a tiled design that pairs two compute tiles with a single SoC tile. Each compute tile houses eight P-Cores based on Coyote Cove and 16 efficient E-Cores based on Arctic Wolf, while the SoC tile contributes four low-power Arctic Wolf LPE-cores. That gives Nova Lake-S a 16 P-Core, 32 E-Core, and 4 LPE-Core configuration totaling 52 cores for the top SKU, with single-tile variants offering a 28-core option.

Intel will also offer big-cache bLLC variants aimed at workloads that benefit from larger on-die caches. On the platform side, Nova Lake-S will use the LGA-1954 socket with a 45x37.5 mm footprint, which matches LGA-1851 sizing and should preserve broad cooler compatibility even if some vendors need offset plates or other tweaks for optimal contact. The P-cores will ship without SMT, following the same choice made for Arrow Lake, while Intel's cache-first bLLC approach looks intended to counter AMD's stacked 3D V-Cache strategy. For now, the 4.8 GHz reading comes from an engineering sample and Pre-QS shipments; expect clock speeds to be refined upward as QS samples roll out and Intel moves closer to a formal launch. Given Intel's ambition to re-capture a significant part of the desktop market share, we can expect to see boost clock speeds north of 5.0 GHz.

presumably just because there are more people who can afford to build PCs in 2025 compared to any moment in the past... like, even though GPUs were objectively cheaper 10 years ago, I definitely had access to far less money than I do now, so a 600 euro GPU today is more accessible to me than a 250 euro GPU a decade ago

i used to have that case. antec p180 mini, iirc. nice example with a rare heatsink. looks passive. it was a good case for the time with plenty of useful features. used it as a truenas server for years.

>>106468022
>is there a version that it happens the least to?
get a PSU with the 600W and use the cable that comes with it or your GFX. besides you ONLY have to use the cables that come with a PSU, I can't believe I didn't know that until recently. 9070 XTs with the 600W draw less on spikes apparently. this is all what I read, and I have a 9070 XT with the 600W

>>106467676

It's more of a PT/RT & FG catch-up feature.
Radeon only has the driver overhead advantage for older CPUs, but NVIDIA doesn't care about selling video cards to people with those CPUs.

I totally agree I just found that one looking at noctuas. I just got some noctua fans for the first time they're aight. are they really the best?

>>106468076
nice. i can't hear a thing. near zero dust. looks compelling.

>>106468119
Id rather rely on a filter on the intake + positive pressure

>>106468121
fans are relatively simple technology and once they reached certain quality level decade ago theres not much room to improve.
you need to get to stuff like quality of sound at specific decibel, accessories, paint finish, qc, support and brand value to decide to spend the extra for noctua

>>106468147
I got a 120 at 1700 for rear exhaust and the 2000 for the top of my 9700x since they weren't too pricy. I wonder if I should replace my thermalalright cooler with a noctua, but the 2000 took the heat off my CPU pins and I'm ridiculously impressed.

>>106468171
I wouldnt invest extra unless its part of some sort of project to make coherent visual look for the case.

all my case fans are on a hardware controller directly connected to the psu and remain off until they need to be used. cpu fan is on motherboard pwm with modified curve in BIOS. no need to use the fans unless there's a load on the system like video editor or games. my preference.

>>106468197
lol optimal

>>106468147
Positive pressure/filters doesn't keep out everything. Some old guys just want to work and not worry about cleaning out their computer shop computer. You're also not running anything crazy on these, just spreadsheets and maybe some light cadwork.

>>106468208
I don't think a passive cooler will stop dust

>>106464240 (OP)
Such gay GPU recommendations. 94% is using Nvidia. Why not 5060 Ti?

>>106468197
i took all the fans out of the components. i only have 2 large intake fans, manually controlled and completely off practically all of the time.

>>106468093
the point is that you can't improve on no moving parts. chances are if you can get away with running a fan at inaudible speed, then you can probably do away with it completely. if you actually need air on it, then you're gonna hear it.

>>106468257
you're forcing a lot more metal in the case
more failure points because every warmish part needs to be glued to a large metal block instead of just having moderate air flow over it
you limit an expensive parts watt use because you dont want a silent fan on it

the trade offs dont make sense

>>106466859
I have 5700x3d and a 9070xt, what is your answer for me then? I also want to skip AM5 entirely if possible.

>>106468244
The autistic jeet schizo who makes the threads unironically bought a 9060 XT, the 5060 TI is much better if for some reason you need 16GB, if you dont need the 16GB you are better skipping and saving for a 5070 though as they are selling them at msrp.

>>106468224
I think you're underestimating how much sawdust gets around workshops. We're not talking about a little bit of dust that exists in your home, we're talking about sawdust getting and how it gets everywhere. I'm sure there's some autistic setup where this would be unnecessary, but some guy who spends all day working on wood probably isn't too interested. Again, I'm not talking about your home (not filled with sawdust) and a passively cooled pc.

>>106468281
good thing that you can decide for yourself what makes sense for you and so can i. i have zero regrets ripping the fans out of my components.

>>106468329
it seems like if you dont care about pc performance which involves using fans to dissipate the heat you'd just be better off buying some chink mini pc

anyone have any recommendations about a caster wheel solution for large towers? my shit's just heavy enough to be annoying to move around. flux pro btw

but i also need PCIe slots, don't care about size and have built PCs all my life so i just don't see myself getting a prebuilt out of principle. i like the idea of passive cooling dictating my TDP ceiling and seeing how close i can get to it.

Made the mistake of buying a Razer mouse due to limited options and constrained time. It's been near a decade since my last run-in with them. Zero improvements. Same poor design. Same bad engineering. Same horrible aesthetics. Same god-awful everything.

Generic office mice are superior to the absolute garbage they peddle.

>>106468244
The 5060 Ti 16GB is recommended as an entry-level workstation card.

>>106468306
I don't own a 9060 XT.
The 5060 Ti 16GB is in an awkward spot, considering the performance gap to the 5070, and you're already spending over $400 for a video card.

>>106468417

>no voltage spikes
>when OC it comes really close to both the 4070 and 3080.
>trade blows with the 9070 XT and 4070 when path tracing (yes is a meme but its there)

That card by all means is a more power efficient 4070/3080 while the 9060 XT is closer to a 3070 TI when you remove call of duty and the usual unreal engine console port slop boosting those numbers.

I'll do say its not only the 5060 ti though, all the 50x series stutters way more on those unreal engine ports, is why you see the 5070 TI being slower than 9070XT or the 5090 not being that much faster than the 4090 but when you look at other engines benchmark you'll see the difference this is for example battlefield 6, look at how much the 5090 smokes the 4090

>>106468519
There's a big gaming performance gap between the 5060 Ti & the 5070, you might as well just get a 5070 if you're spending over $400 on a video card at that point.
5070 provides better gaming price/performance than the 5060 Ti 16GB; you don't need 16GB for 1440p gaming.
The settings that require over 12GB at that resolution are too taxing on the 5070 GPU anyway.

>>106468534
the 5070 isn't recommended either, only a 5070 Ti

>>106464240 (OP)
wait a minute.
so you're telling me.
the only reason NVidia GPUs appear to be less power hungry and more efficient than AMD is because they offload work to the CPU, resulting in their CPU driver overhead? and all the power saved at the GPU is hidden in CPU power consumption resulting in equivalent total system power draw?

>>106468541

It just keeps randomly turning off. I don't get it. I got the RAM from someone who was actively using them until he upgraded, the board new off Amazon, and the CPU from a huge seller on eBay that I've bought stuff off of before and had it work with no problems. The PSU's not the problem since I've been using it for years with another MITX machine that had a 75W GPU.
What the hell is wrong with this thing? I'm at the point where I want to send the parts back, but I don't have a second AM5 board or CPU to test to see if either of the ones I have are the problem.

Retarded take, even HWUB Steve's cherry-picked benchmarks don't support this bullshit.
NVIDIA GPUs are more power-efficient because they generally have more shading units that run at lower boost clocks.
GeForce GPUs also have larger on-die low-level cache, which means the GPU has a lot more cache hits compared to Radeon cards that need to make more trips to the VRAM or storage.
The smaller on-die cache is why Radeon cards scale better with SAM/ReBar.

>But Radeon GPUs have L3 infinity cache
That's used to make up for the raw memory bandwidth disadvantage of being stuck with regular GDDR6 chips.

I never touched the XMP, then I went in and I thought I turned RAM overclocking completely off - it was set on auto before. It still randomly shut down and at that point I gave up on using it, took it out, and breadboarded it.
What's driving me nuts is that it's completely unpredictable when it just shuts down with no warning. Right now I put my old system back where it was and it's been running for a couple hours with no problems. I'll keep testing it with other stuff. The only thing I've found so far is that the the Thermaltake SF750 just might not work right with some motherboards and it may have something to do with antisurge. I was running the problem system outside of the case for a few hours the other day with a different PSU (and only one monitor attached) when I was getting it loaded up to take the old system's place.

If i only have ryzen 7600 with 4060, will 850w be ok?

>>106470301
Anon, Ryzen 7600 draws 65 watts. RTX 4060 draws 115. Add in the rest of the PC, that's at most 400 watts you'll be using. 850W is hundreds of watts more than you'll ever need.

>>106470301
>If i only have ryzen 7600 with 4060, will 850w be ok?
A 500W supply would be more than adequate for that build. Of course there's not many high-quality units under 750W these days so you'll probably have to get one in that region.

>Someone wrote here that 1000w has intermittent spikes, this isn't the case with 850w?
You've got the causality backwards.Transient loads come from the components (usually the graphics card); higher wattage units, with their bigger capacitors, are more capable of handling transients.

TDP is not equal to max power consumption, 65W rated CPUs can eat 88W though.

>>106470179
12gb will be enough for 4 years

>>106470361
>>106470366
It's a core reactor ii, i thought 750w would be not enough if i'd want to upgrade in the future.

So, again, it won't fry anything, right?
Or should i return it for 750w one?

>>106468908
Anything better than a 9070XT coming up anytime soon or neh?

>>106470398
With that CPU, 750W would be enough for anything up to a 5080. Assuming a good quality unit like you have.

>>106470361
Most PSUs achieve their best efficiency at around 50% load. Also protects from power spikes.

I managed to find a MSI 5060 ti 16gb for 357 Euro. Is upgrading from a 750 ti worth it?

>>106470418
But i already got 850w, should i return it?

>>106470482
I suggest naming the rtx6090 competitor the AMD Radeon ai1190xtx+

>>106470427
Modern LLC resonant units have little variation from ~10% to 100% load (note the Y-axis). Plus, his typical (gaming) draw will be ~200W on the 12V rail.

>>106470495
Nah not worth the hassle. I imagine you'd only claw back $20 at most which really isn't worth the 1-2h of work it'd take to execute the RMA. You don't really lose anything by having too much wattage on modern high-end units (see >>106470504). If nothing else it'll make for a quieter system.

What is a good hardware monitor panel? My budget for it is 80 bucks and might run Aida64 on it unless there are better alternatives.

whats with cases not coming with removable mesh filters anymore? Im in the market for one and it seems ever more common

>could get a 9070xt for like 830 bucks from a big local amazon equivalent
>or could get it from a mildly shady small shop with good reviews and tax evasion tactics, for like 800 bucks
>and the price was 100-200 bucks higher a month ago, is liable to rise again if anything happens
>and the amazon equivalent even has a no-charge buy now pay later plan so i could just get the GPU at a low price, and pay it at my convenience over 2 months
Agony. Torment. Greed. Indecision.

It reduces airflow which lowers their ranking on benchmark graphs. Doesn't matter that the dust will raise temps in a few months; the average consumer sees a chart and picks the top one.

Last year in a rush I bought a cheapo case with a solid panel. Bad move in hindsight but it's a PC that at most consumes like 300-400w so it worked. By December I got a good deal on a Corsair sold to third world countries only so I'm using that. I wonder though, would the other one still be usable with something like a 240 liquid cooler? It would be pretty much exhausting air out the top and back, full negative pressure

I wish I could look in the future which oled model would last the longest.

>>106470640
I'd just check the lottery numbers, win it and buy the most expensive OLED and swap them monthly.

Is Montech Century II 850 80+ Gold the new budget king? 100 eurinos. 130 for the 1050 W version.

>>106470703
€100 is about average for a good 850W unit in Western Europe. A good price but not exceptional. To be expected since PSUs are low-margin commodity hardware.

>>106470567
To have better thermals at the cost of more maintenance. I won't buy a case that doesn't have filters for every intake.

>>106470387
NTA but I hope you're right, because I want to keep playing vijda goymes on my fresh RTX 5070 for at least 3-5 years, ideally at 1440p60 (144 if the game runs at 70+ FPS natively and I can framegen it) with DLSS Quality/Balanced. Actual in-game settings don't matter much as long as I don't heavily sacrifice visual clarity by dropping down shit like distant objects/render distance detail or model quality. The thing I hate the most is pop-in.

>>106470640
All the models that last "the longest" are actually your regular ass OLEDs that burn out the pixels which are too bright automatically.

Apple has been doing this since the start.

>>106470494
integrated GPUs in processors nowadays are an upgrade from 750 Ti.

I didn't know how miserable PC building becomes when you try to fit a 420mm into your case. I got this lian li o11 d evo rgb, and it needs some extra bracket shenanigans, which ultimately makes it a pain to pull the CPU power cables through the top hole. Also the top side fan is half-blocked, and you can't place the mobo in the upper position, only the default lower, which means you can't install a full-atx mobo AND 140mm fans on the bottom, you gotta settle with the 120mm ones to have at least some room for bottomside board connections.
Oh, and the rear fan has to be 15mm thick if you want to install it at all.

>>106470911
I have that case and originally intended to use 140mms on the side panel
It was too tight a fit and I relocated those 140mms to bottom intake and shifted the mobo up. Thankfully the rest of my fans are 120mm and fit in this configuration.
If you want to use 140mm fans throughout the pc, you'll have to go for the o11d evo XL

>>106470494
yes

>>106470823
You will have to turn down a fair bit. There are a select few games where butting up against the 16 GB limit is possible with settings maxed, and going over 12 is far easier. Primarily your decision is going to be a time value question, do you really need it now or can you wait for the 5070 Super which is going to be the ultimate mid-high range card for the actual-for-real next 5 years without compromise?

>>106470946
I already bought.

>>106470919
It almost feels like upshifted was the intended mobo position, seeing how the cable holes are positioned. If you don't use a 420mm AIO on top, it would even all fit nicely in, but it's too late to change the case now, and I still wanna go with the 420mm.
Ultimately though, I guess a 360mm would give better thermals when positioned on the side as the intake, and considering I can use the 140mm elsewhere. But with a 420mm on top I don't even need the side fans that much. Damn, I can't decide anymore, and the worst case scenario is I'll just return the 420 and get the same arctic 360mm.

Minileds are the only good monitor type.

Should I?

>>106471000
>upshifted was the intended mobo position
i'm not sure if they fixed it on newer batches, but on my unit (and several others i've read online), the metal tab on the exterior rear side blocks off one displayport connector on the dgpu when in the upshifted position.

thepiratebay.org

>>106465942
Why?

>>106471274
Because the price difference is 10%

>>106470037
Compare the CPU power draw in that benchmark image.
No wonder I have spell things out to dumb asses lime you.

>>106471185
There's one thing I hated about the case: one of the mobo stands wasn't cut properly and as a result was slightly taller than the others. I wish I'd see it before attempting installation, but I don't think it damaged the board. Did you have any similar issue?
My hands itch to get it all built already, but I'll have to wait for the 1) 120mm bottom fans 2) 140mm grill for that one AIO's fan that may touch the CPU cables.

>>106471342
Forgot the pic.

>>106471287
I mean yeah but they're basically the same cpu.
No difference except "i bought newer cpu".

Any thermal paste recs?

>>106471342

Mine's okay on that front. It looks like a one-off defect

>>106471389
GD2 and GD900 from AliExpress
They're really cheap and have very good performance and longevity

>>106471421
GD-2-BA7 ?
GD900_30 or GD900_15?

>>106471451
nvm it's volume

Should I just go for a foam filter? This is after two weeks of use.

>>106471536
it's working? just wash it regularly or something

>>106471451
>>106471463
That's the volume, yes. GD2 is slightly better and pricier than GD900 so i recommend getting a 15g or 30g tube of that which will last for more than 5 years if you only have a single pc

Headset question good here?
I have to decrease volume in w10 to 2 or else the volume deafening, i guess it's because they're cheap and have low resistance?
What should i look for if i want to middle tier headset just for gaming and listening music.

>>106471589
Check within the audio driver options if you can toggle the gain settings to something less? Some audio cards have such settings hidden in their specific drivers that needs to be installed separately

>>106471571
What about acrtic mx-4?

>>106471589
more of a /hpg/ question but just get something comfortable and a separate antlion modmic or vmoda boom mic or similar knockoffs

>>106471568
Oh jeez yeah. I fell for the airplane red dot come back war survive thing.

>>106471589
It's a driver thing. I had a headset that had multiple modes with each mode being detected as its own device and one mode turned the headset into speakers with volume at around 10. I never managed to fix this

>>106471608
In device manager? I don't have external audio, only motherboard.

>>106471786
Yeah you should probably invest in an audio interface. Otherwise people might think things like "Dude, did you see back at Anons place, he didn't have an audio interface. That means he doesn't have a podcast about IPAs and the hustling and bustling in the city."

>>106471859
My friend got me one for my birthday and I don’t notice any difference except that I can make the sound louder now.

>>106471991
back when i had a problematic system with audio dropouts, an external dac/amp fixed the problem entirely

>>106472003
You probably just had a failing audio chipset on the motherboard. Kind of like how the USB ports on my board are slowly dying right now.

>>106471991
It's not that useful if you don't have studio monitors, mics and guitar/synth.

>>106472072
One plus is two different volume knobs for speakers and head phones, it also completes the look of the battle station, especially combined with a stream deck.

theres nothing special about making reviews that evaluate pricing info
