Klyith posted:A 3070 (or whatever the equivalent AMD card will be if those are competitive) and leaving the rest alone is IMO the right idea. 4 cores isn't a hindrance as long as you have 8 threads, which you do. Waiting on DDR5 for a full system build seems like the way to maximize your upgrade. If DDR5 comes next year your 7700K should easily stay good until then. thanks! that's more or less what I'd concluded, but I appreciate the independent sanity check

Water cooling is pointless for these CPUs IMO. If you just want to do it for fun that's one thing, but you'll spend more to gain nothing over a good air cooler with these Ryzens outside maybe a 3950X or something. Samsung is a ripoff now.

Klyith posted:The Define 7 when you add a ton of HDDs does not have great airflow. The front fans then have the solid panel in front and HD cages behind them. Loud while gaming is totally fine. I play only with headphones anyway so that’s not a huge issue. I actually really like that the door easy opens and closes. I have no problems keeping it open while gaming, but I really like that I can keep it closed during the day for a subtler look. Also didn’t know if I should exhaust or intake on the top so that helps. With the case picked out I think that solidified my upgrade, assuming I can actually snag a 3080.

sean10mm With that budget I'd do it slightly differently. Butterfly Valley If I were you I'd be smart and spend a little less on the components and use the savings to get a new 144hz monitor, because that would feel like a big upgrade from what you're currently using. Thank you, I can definitely see what you're saying and I can adjust accordingly to save some cash for a monitor and other stuff. You've definitely taken the stress out of my decision making.

I have an i5 8600 now. I'm definitely sick of the stock Intel cooler, it sounds like a goddamn jet engine. 1. I'm looking at a Corsair H100i Closed Loop liquid cooler to replace the stock fan, will it soothe my noise-related issues or just be louder/as loud? Also, overkill? I know it fits in my case. Also, looks fairly easy to install. I'm kinda put off 3rd party fan cooling because they look so complex to install and I really really don't want to have to completely disassemble my PC to install a replacement fan. 2. Related to my processor, I'm stupidly tempted to throw in an i7 9700 just to really really futureproof my system. My board supports it with a BIOS update and the processors are on sale at my local for $120 off. Is this really really really dumb? It feels dumb, but I kinda want to be dumb.

uXs posted:Yeah, maybe. I dunno, getting a faulty mobo doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Especially when I've been searching about this problem and it seems I'm not the only one with problems. Then again, I guess everything has problems? a. I think that this particular year the DOA has been up for everything. Sucks when it happens to you, but understandable. b. User reviews are IMO very dicey for whether something has a real problem trend, or just a bad rep or some other weirdness. For example, my last two mobos have been MSIs that had pretty bad user reviews, and I've seen zero troubles. They were both cheap bargains, and I think they were popular with noobs who maybe didn't have a firm grasp of what they were doing (or a good advice thread). Conversely, when someone buys the gold-plated $400 Biggus Dickus motherboard, they blame anything but the mobo. Snuffman posted:I have an i5 8600 now. 1. An AIO liquid cooler may be easier to add to an existing system without a lot of disassembly than a large air cooler. Large air coolers are certainly easier to install when you have the mobo out of the case. Then again, rads aren't guaranteed to be a piece of cake. A lot depends on the case & which mount you're going to install it in. Top radiator mounts may require a complex assembly sequence like radiator -> mobo -> rad fans if there are clearance constraints. Front mounts are much easier, assuming your tubes can stretch far enough to the bottom orientation. For someone who isn't confident in their install skills, you should plan to do a lot of disassembly anyways, no matter what you end up with. Half-assing things is the fastest shortcut to loving yourself. 2. A 9700 doesn't have all that much more future proofing than a 8600K. Two more cores, still no hyperthreading. The 9900K would be a much better bet for that, but it's $400. If you think you can resell the 8600K for a decent price it might be worth it. But it seems like a lot of money for a 2 year old CPU.

For a new build, does anybody have a good suggestion for a large tower-case that has the following characteristics: 1) Has a power-button on top, or top-side of the case, as I stand my cases on the floor, under my desk; 2) USB 3.0 or 3.1 ports on top, or top-front side; 3) Has enough space for a "thicc" graphics card, like the recently announced Nvidia 3X-series cards. 4) I won't be doing liquid cooling so having space for tubing and radiators/pumps is not a requirement; 5) Having a clear-side panel so I can see inside once in a while, would be a nice-to-have, but not a requirement. My current system was installed in a Thermaltake Armor Revo full-tower case. The following Amazon page has pictures of the Armor Revo case. I guess I could try to find this old case online for sale, but it's pretty heavy at 25 lbs. Yeah, the case had a lot of fans, but being under my desk I did not notice the fans' sound: https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Armor-Tower-Cases-VO200M6W2N/dp/B007OX1RX0 The Armor Revo case has a lot of room, but one problem I had with the case was the top fan mounts were not the right size to install a Cosair radiator on top, so had to revert to a Noctura cpu fan (which has worked out well). EDIT: I found these full-size cases by Cougar on Amazon that may fit the bill. The larger cases in their product line would fit one Nvidia RTX 3090. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F13WPCB/?coliid=I1XFKT1N3E6Q9P&colid=34GEU2PO3GDRN&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 nnnotime fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Sep 6, 2020 |

dedian posted:Helping my nephew review a budget build he's put together... A couple notes: * You can save $150 by going with a different 1660 Super. You could go for a 5600XT for roughly $300 or a 2060 Super for roughly $400 but those make $800 hard to hit without compromising further on other parts. (e: Getting to $800 is doable with a 2600 cpu plus a 5600XT, which would likely be a better framerate in the short run but I could be wrong about whether or not the weaker CPU ends up being too much of a tradeoff overall. also rules out b550 mobos and RAM could be more fiddly) * It's a tad more expensive but my understanding of the thread zeitgeist is that the Corsair CX non modular is good value for a budget PSU. * you can save $10 on the SSD by going Crucial or Western Digital. General consensus is that the Samsung tax is not worthwhile any more. * lowest hanging fruit remaining would be saving some money on the mobo. I'm not an expert here but something along the ASRock B450 Pro4 would let you scrape by under $800 along with a cheaper 1660 Super. In the $130 price range given in the draft build, I know that the MSI MAG B550M Bazooka is well-regarded by the thread. The MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX used to be a thread staple but might be outdated as a recommendation now? (e2: note that the bazooka, being a b550 board, is not compatible with the 2600 option mentioned above) FreeKillB fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Sep 6, 2020 |

Chill guys, the 1660 Super on that list just went out of stock and the $400 price is amazon scalpers. I assume it was a sane price when they picked it and that they won't get bamboozled into paying that.FreeKillB posted:* It's a tad more expensive but my understanding of the thread zeitgeist is that the Corsair CX non modular is good value for a budget PSU. Confirmed both of these. (The samsung tax has never been worth paying -- what changed is they used to be cheaper than everyone else.) quote:* getting down to 800 is probably easiest by saving some money on the mobo. I'm not an expert here but something along the ASRock B450 Pro4 would let you scrape by under $800 along with a cheaper 1660 Super. In the $130 price range given in the draft build, I know that the MSI MAG B550M Bazooka is well-regarded by the thread. The MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX used to be a thread staple but might be outdated as a recommendation now? The 450 Tomahawk max isn't any savings over the Asus, the price for those ramped up since it's such a common go-to. But I also wouldn't pay $130 for any B450 now that various decent 550s are available at the same price. Right now the hot ticket for a mobo that gets you a lot for the money is the MSI B550M Pro-VDH Wifi if the wifi is useful. And for maximum savings I'd do the MSI B450M Pro-VDH for just $85. I would not recommend a cheap asrock to a first time builder, if dedian's nephew isn't experienced and doesn't have someone to help out. The Pro4 has no debug leds or other feedback if something goes wrong. That can turn a build with a DOA component, or even something simple like something not fully plugged in, into hours of frustration.

So I've had my current PC for a while now and it's beginning to show it's age. Like many people I've taken the opportunity to upgrade now the 30 series GPUs are coming out. What country are you in? The UK What are you using the system for? Vast majority of gaming and general PC use. What's your budget? ~£800, excluding the GPU. I'll be getting a 3080 of some form when the other vendors start releasing. If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution / refresh rate? Currently I have a 1080p/60fps monitor, and am looking at upgrading to a 144Hz one sometime in the future. Obviously I want to be playing on ultra settings for the most part. My current specs are:  My proposed build is: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 8-Core Processor (£300.00 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard (£139.98 @ CCL Computers) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory (£94.90 @ Newegg UK) Storage: Crucial P1 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£94.24 @ CCL Computers) Case: GameMax ABYSS ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (£102.62 @ Amazon UK) Total: £731.74 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-09-06 12:29 BST+0100 Any glaring errors? Will I need more than the stock CPU cooler that comes with it? I have a decently large Noctua fan already but I'm guessing the mounting points will be different on the new motherboard. I've sort of picked based on discussions in thread, but my knowledge is extremely out of date when it comes to PC building. So if there are any better alternate motherboards/RAM etc., or if I've picked a compromising part in any way, any advice is welcome and appreciated!

Vitamins posted:any advice is welcome and appreciated! https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XmH4K4 The Ryzen 3800X is kinda eh, not worth the extra few quid it costs. The 3700X is a better version of what's in the new consoles so should be fine for gaming for the foreseeable future. I've changed you to Crucial Ballistix RAM which plays nicer with Ryzens. And I've swapped your storage from the Crucial, which uses QLC thus becoming slower the fuller it gets and making it unsuitable for your main OS drive, to the cheapest of the better options using TLC. The stock cooler on the Ryzen is perfectly capable but might be too noisy for your taste. But you can order a mounting bracket from noctua free of charge to fit it to AM4 boards.

If you want to save a few bucks you could go with the B550M Bazooka instead and not really loose anything but I think 2 SATA ports (and maybe fewer or just different USB ports?). The MPG has what looks like better power delivery, but that won't matter for like a 3700X (and probably not even a stock 3950X) Also for some reason the exact same Crucial memory is sometimes cheaper depending on what color the heat spreader is.  I don't know anything about that case. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Sep 6, 2020 |

One slight worry: I did a doublecheck for memory compatibility, and the memory I have isn't on the list for the motherboard, but when I check the memory site the motherboard IS on the list for the memory? Apart from the system losing the bios settings every day it works great as well, so I dunno. Could the bios problem be because the memory isn't 100% compatible after all?

I had a look at MSI and Asus alternatives, but both had things missing that I want. (Things = USB ports. The MSI has less on the rear, and the Asus doesn't have enough in the front.) Most any memory will work in any board, the QVL is what they've spent the time / money to specifically validate. The benefits to QVL are guaranteed compatibility for unusual configs and timings stored on board ahead of time that can be better than the results of memory training. Corsair does their own validation to try to get people to buy sticks they didn't pay for / have out at the time the motherboard manufacturer did their validation, but it won't have the benefits of preconfigured timings. BIOS settings wouldn't be in ram since it's wiped whenever the computer is turned off, it's stored on the board itself. Try replacing the CMOS battery.

I did change it. Didn't solve anything, problem remains. uXs fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Sep 6, 2020 |

i want massive amounts of storage in a windows desktop. some of the seagate stuff caught my eye on pcpartpicker https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ccCD4D/seagate-ironwolf-12tb-35-7200rpm-internal-hard-drive-st12000vn0007 but idk anything about using NAS drives in a desktop. Would it just be simpler to buy this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JWm323/western-digital-black-6tb-35-7200rpm-internal-hard-drive-wd6003fzbx?
