What model are your current SSDs? If they’re long in the tooth, you can go basically SATA free and snag a M.2 NVMe drive for the mobo.

Same with the x570 mobo unless there is some critical feature you require. A B450 MSI Tomahawk Max will do just fine and save you some money.

Absorbs Smaller Goons posted:Same with the x570 mobo unless there is some critical feature you require. A B450 MSI Tomahawk Max will do just fine and save you some money. Got it, I picked that CPU because when I last built a PC, you wanted the processor that had a letter at the end. The mobo was due to being one of the Microcenter bundles. Is there any real benefit for a mid-tier build, other than onboard WiFi, to choosing one of the more expensive mobos? And are non-stock CPU coolers even required anymore?

Schiavona posted:And are non-stock CPU coolers even required anymore? You can get by with the stock 3600 cooker just fine, but it will limit the chip to some extent. Ryzens work by boosting individual cores in response to demand, and the most likely limiting factor for that on-demand boost is heat. So a better cooler will make it easier for you to get the most out of your CPU. The other issue is noise. The stock cooler is tiny so has to go like the clappers under load. A better cooler will handle the same jobs much quieter.

Party Boat posted:You can get by with the stock 3600 cooker just fine Best typo, or as intended?  This is solid advice, though the noise part is probably a bigger issue for most people than the small hit to performance. The Hyper 212 black you originally selected is sufficient, but even with the refresh it’s still an aging design that underperforms a bit for its price. I’d consider an Arctic Freezer 34 for something slightly cheaper with slightly better cooling, or one of the 34’s “esports” variants if you want something in black.

If I buy a 3900X that supports 16 pcie lanes and my motherboard has two m.2 pcie x4 slots and I put SSDs in both of them, does that mean my video card will only use 8 lanes?

Zen 2 ryzens like the 3900X have 24 pcie lanes, not 16. 2. Some of those lanes (variable depending on which chipset your mobo uses) go to the chipset, which then is a hub for more PCIe lanes to other slots. However, depending on your motherboard, using a second m.2 nvme socket or particular PCIe slots *can* put the GPU into x8 mode. These allocations vary by mobo and your manual will have a chart in it somewhere that tells you what the division of lanes will be based on which slots are occupied. But this likely is also 100% useless trivia because GPUs have near-zero performance change from x8 vs x16 lanes (exceptions are non-gaming things like CUDA GPU computation).

No* (*on almost all motherboards). 3rd-gen Ryzen actually has 24 cpu lanes and typically 16 will be reserved for the gpu, 4 for an NVMe slot (or combination of NVMe/SATA), and 4 interface with the X570 chipset. The X570 chipset acts as a hub for additional NVMe slot, USB ports, PCIe slots, etc.  Often NVMe slots will share bandwidth with SATA slots, but there's only a few rare AM4 boards that share bandwidth with the gpu (and no X570 boards that I know of). Check the details for the particular board you're looking at, though. E: Yeah, right now it's not really relevant for gaming outside of maybe a tiny, tiny effect on a 2080 Ti.

Im looking at upgrading the RAM in my desktop and I havent done it for ages, so I wanted to clarify a few things. Currently I have an ASRock B85M Pro3 motherboard with 1 8gb stick of ddr3 ram. According to Speccy, its this.  Can I stick something like this in there to take it to 24gb? The frequencies dont match, but my motherboard should support both. Will the new stuff be underclocked to run at the same speed as the old stuff? Should I just ditch the old stick and go to 16gb of the faster variety?

Memory needs to be installed in pairs to operate in dual-channel mode (ie, 2 sticks can send data at the same time = twice as fast) edit: since your existing stick runs at 1600 CL11, just get this singe stick instead of the 2 stick kit. It will run at the same speed and you'll have 16gb which is plenty for most people. Klyith fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Mar 26, 2020 |

DDR 1600 runs at 800 Mhz (because it is double data rate) When DDR first came out they started labeling it with twice the operating frequency, so that it would have a bigger number than previous standard DRAM.

Is it worth it to buy anything computer related right now? I haven't looked recently but have prices gone crazy with corona virus factory closings? I'm wanting to upgrade my storage to NVME's but when I built my computer 2 years ago it was during the time that RAM was stupidly over priced, I don't want to make that same mistake again.

I just want to get general consensus. My SSDs are older. I have a roughly 7 year old 125gig Samsung and roughly 5 year old Kingston 250gig drive. At this point it's clear to me that they are both too small. I really enjoy gaming but the 250 isn't big enough. I'm wanting to get a ~500gig for OS and non game applications and a 1tb for games. It's there an appreciable difference between NVME and SSDs for games? What about OS?

This will be used for gaming, programming and hosting some of my own projects so the 12 cores will be used.

Looking for guidance on whether I should move to a more powerful power supply when I replace it. What country are you in? US What are you using the system for? Gaming mostly What's your budget? $150 - 250? If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution / refresh rate? How fancy do you want your graphics, from “it runs” to “Ultra preset as fast as possible”? Not sure if this question is relevant, but average/low graphics settings are what I shoot for generally Current setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pRmjb8 Current power supply: Cooler Master V550 - 550W Compact Fully Modular 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply PSU is coming up on the 5-year mark. As far as I can tell it's still under warranty. Been dealing with some strange hdd behavior and maybe it's related to the PSU? Either way it's about time for a replacement. PCPartPicker gives an estimated wattage for the rig as 472w. Is 550 still powerful enough (comfortably)? I could try to get a replacement model via the 5-year warranty, but in case that doesn't work or the 550 doesn't seem powerful enough what PSU would y'all recommend? ty EDIT: On a completely unrelated note (and for a different computer), are there any general issues with using a SSD M2 => SSD SATA III converter in a pc/laptop?

Also despite the massive tax return spending spree, Samsung are overpriced versus comparable high-quality NVMe drives. WD Black SN750 1TB are $150, or the HP EX950 is currently on sale at newegg for $130.

PCPartsPicker estimates the system will use 394 watts so I think 150 watts overhead is enough. Still has 7 year warranty. 2. Added the aftermarket cooler on Ebola Dog and Party Boat's advice a few posts up. 3. Picked an SSD that seems to meet specs from OP and is cheap. Had a 512GB SSD in the old gaming rig and was too small. 4. RAM I picked is a bit cheaper than recommended by MikeC's post. Seems fine, is 3600 speed. 5. I could save ~50-100$ building in a micro-ATX case between the motherboard and case, but wasn't sure the ~7-in. long video card MikeC recommends and the ~7-in. long after market cooler would fit. Besides the money saved, I really like the smaller foot print cases even if they are a bit of a pain to build in. 6. Are the trade-offs for cheaper 2 fan GPUs vs. the 3 fan unit MikeC recommended (in my list) a big deal? I could save ~$50 this way. Just in time for Corona Virus, my old gaming PC bit the dust this week. I don't have a 1440p monitor to support this build yet but want to upgrade in the near future. This build is super overkill for the monitor setup I have currently, but if I upgrade my monitor in the next ~year it seems like a better investment than replacing the rest of the PC later. I'm assuming I should hit the monitor megathread to find a "cheap" 27in. monitor for this rig later. Cursory check over there indicates monitor inventory is hit pretty hard by the legions of new work-at-homes so good deals may be non-existent for awhile (forever?).

Arkangelus posted:HDD: old seagates Some Seagate drives from a period like 4-7 years ago were known for some pretty dramatic failure rates, so I'd suspect the HDDs over the PSU. If you don't have good backups, run don't walk to backup your important data. (Always back up.) Hard drives should generally be the least affected component from power issues, as they don't use a lot of power and only use the 5v line. It would be an unusual PSU failure for the barely-used 5v line to go wonky and the 12v to be fine. That's also a good PSU (gold LLC DC-DC by enhance), I'd be ok with using it a couple years past the 5-year warranty period. Arkangelus posted:EDIT: On a completely unrelated note (and for a different computer), are there any general issues with using a SSD M2 => SSD SATA III converter in a pc/laptop? As long as the m.2 drive is a sata not a nvme, no issues. It's a passive converter, just wires connecting plugs to each other.

I would recommend other options as a main drive: the HP EX950 (while it's on sale), the Adata SX8100 (if you can't get the HP sale), the WD Blue SN550 (has no dram so not ideal, but preferable to QLC), or just a sata drive (WD Blue or MX500). 4. Should be ok, it's not on the board QVL but seems like lots of reports that is works fine. 5 & 6. The 3-fan card would be a bit cooler and quieter while gaming. It would fit in the meshify C fine, it's 280mm and the C supports 315mm.

If you use Solidworks, workstation Quadro gpus will have much better performance than consumer gpus. Otherwise a Geforce will have superior performance and save money! Puget Systems is a good place to get hardware recommendations for professional applications, and Demostrs' build lines up nicely with their Autocad recommendations. If you have the budget and your tasks are intensive, you may want to consider moving up to a Ryzen 3600 for the big single-core performance boost.

My wife had a Zotac Z-Box prebuilt PC for a couple of years that was acting up, and when we sent it in for repair the place said it was something they couldn't replace and just refunded us the full price. So now I'm looking to build something fun for her - has to be small (the old one was a 20cm box, which this won't be but that's manageable) and should be flashy with lights and stuff. Country: Denmark Main use of this will probably be playing Overwatch (and Overwatch 2!), but other games are a possibility. Will be used with a 4k 60hz monitor, and it'd be nice to get some decent quality settings. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (1759.00kr @ Alternate) CPU Cooler: Asus ROG RYUO 120 RGB 80.95 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (1275.00kr @ Alternate) Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard (1815.00kr @ CDON DK) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory (1729.00kr @ Alternate) Storage: Corsair MP600 Force Series Gen4 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (2014.28kr @ Newegg Denmark) Video Card: Asus GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB Turbo EVO Video Card (5785.00kr @ CDON DK) Case: In Win A1 Plus Mini ITX Tower Case w/650 W Power Supply Total: 14377.28kr Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-03-26 20:56 CET+0100 Prices here are a bit weird because it doesn't seem to have a good selection of Danish stores; and the graphics card is the closest I could find to match, the actual one would be this one which afaict is within the size restrictions of the case For the lighting I was hoping to get everything synched with the Asus Aura software, and I saw some app that could sync that with her Razer keyboard as well - making it look all flashy is something that would be very popular. I don't know if this would need an RGB controller for that though? The motherboard seems to have 2 aura connectors, but I'm not really sure how all that stuff should fit together.

Chamook posted:Storage: Corsair MP600 Force Series Gen4 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (2014.28kr @ Newegg Denmark) Is newegg actually local in denmark, or is that price plus shipping indicate you're getting it shipped from the US? Buying anything that ships internationally seems like it could be a major hassle right now. Anyways a gold-plated PCIe 4 SSD is pretty overblown even for an expensive ITX build like you're doing. It's more than even the 970 Evo (which seems reasonably priced in DK, better than the US). The Adata 8200 Pro is available for you at a good price.

B450 boards don't support PCIe 4.0 anyway, so you'd be wasting the money on that feature without getting one of the X570 boards. Again, though, not worth it right now and unlikely that PS5/XSX makes it necessary.Stickman posted:If you use Solidworks, workstation Quadro gpus will have much better performance than consumer gpus. Otherwise a Geforce will have superior performance and save money! Normally, yeah, but I wonder about how well that Fermi-based Quadro with drivers from 2018 holds up even in that heavily weighted benchmark for it...

SalTheBard posted:Is it worth it to buy anything computer related right now? I haven't looked recently but have prices gone crazy with corona virus factory closings? I'm wanting to upgrade my storage to NVME's but when I built my computer 2 years ago it was during the time that RAM was stupidly over priced, I don't want to make that same mistake again. PCPartpicker has a price history when you select components, I just did a build and everything seems stable right now. When the components were to arrive if I ordered is another thing...

Demostrs posted:Yes, this is a server set-up. Don't know what they're listing it for on SA Mart, but all this hardware is very old and probably not going to be great for AutoCAD, which is largely still single-threaded. The video card especially will be eclipsed by a basic Geforce card nowadays in any GPU accelerated tasks, albiet they aren't "technically" supported by AutoCAD (though I've seen many anecdotes saying they have no problems with one). Consider building your own PC: Thank you!
