Let's try this ONE MORE TIME

Trying to pick a monitor but not sure which one. Here are the monitors I'm looking at:

Here's my build:

How is this case?

How loose can the standoffs be?
I tried getting one out but realised I didn't need to but now it's loose and won't tighten. Is that a big deal?

Best SSD for about 50$?

I don't plan on overclocking immediately, but maybe some time down the line. I'm debating upgrading to Kaby Lake with the 7600k and a Z270 motherboard, but I'm not sure.

Also, once I've picked a particular chipset for MoBos, GPUs, etc, how should I pick particular brands? I'm having a hard time choosing what's best between MSI, Gigabyte, PNY, etc.

I mean, I don't care much about dual GPU setup and all I need is reliable and easy to use motherboard within under_$150 range.

>>58448501
6500 = locked processor.

Needs a K at the end of it, i.e. 6600K and the like.

You can overclock a locked chip with Z170, you just have to do it the old fashioned way

Why are all 980 TIs still expensive as fuck? They barely offer any performance gain over a 1070, yet they're still priced $200 more than a 1070?

The first one sounds fine
A little under 4K, a little over 60hz, and gsync so it's not big deal if you aren't hitting 100fps
4K 60Hz is doable with that card for sure, but it might not be for games in two years

Ok, and what about cheaper solutions?
Because Extreme 4 in my region costs pretty much the same as Asus Z170-A. And that's still affordable, but like borderline affordable.

>>58448893
Like I said I like my PG278Q and I'm sure you'd love a PG279Q, when I say my 1070 can hit some games I mean only a few, you'll still be able to flex that graphics muscle with 1440p/144hz on newer games

You know someone clocked a celeron to 8GHz

>>58448950
No idea if it still works, but a cheapo solution is the MSI Z170-A Pro (or what it's called), but that one has shit VRM, which is no suprise for a mobo that usually goes for 100 bucks.
Alternatively GA Z170 HD3.
I hope you can at least afford a good cooler.

Thanks.
>I hope you can at least afford a good cooler.
I guess Pure Rock will do.

>>58448989
Would you be willing to sacrifice some refresh rate on a 32" monitor? That's ultimately what my choice is coming down to. I could get a 27" 1440 with 144Hz, or do a 32" 1440 with 100Hz. Or is refresh rate some kind of meme I'm falling for?

>>58449043
Don't expect a good OC with that thing, it's an ok cooler but that's it.
Also the thermal compound that comes preapplied is utter shit.

>>58449064
>Don't expect a good OC with that thing
Well, can I get at least 4.4-4.5 GHz without house-fire?
>it's an ok cooler but that's it
Any good alternatives? I heard x10 optima was the king of cheap-ass cooling for oc'd sandy bridge.

>>58449044
I don't know, like I said 100+ fps is good enough for me, but at the same time I wouldn't think making my monitor ultrawide would make a big difference either

>>58449142
No idea, if you can get a 212 EVO, H7 or Deepcool Gamaxx 400.
Be quiet makes good coolers but imho they should have included good thermal compound instead of preapplying that toothpaste.

Oh dear, can anyone help me?
Just started up my build for the first time. 5 beeps then it turns itself off. Gigbyte says "5 short beep :CPU error".
Could it be the cpu is not sitting in correctly? Or something is not connected? I plugged the CPU power plug into the slot that says "ATX_12V_2X4", is that the right one?

>>58449173
Many thanks.

>>58449178
CPU fan plugged in?

>>58449193
Yes. And it is spinning fine.

>>58449178
How many watts is your PSU?
What is the name of your Mobo and which CPU are you using?

>>58449178
The fuck is going your CPU fan connector cable?
Connect it to the propper CPU fan header, usually white fan header.
See if all power cabled are properly connected.
Have you forgotten the standoffs?
Are all headers (the one at the bottom) correctly connected?

>>58449245
>The fuck is going your CPU fan connector cable?
>Connect it to the propper CPU fan header, usually white fan header.

If you look closely, you can see his cable loops around and connects into the proper spot, you nigger.

You know, I'm not even sure if they are short beeps or long beeps, since their is no reference to compare it to. And the 5th beep cuts off halfway, so it might even be 4 beeps. So basically I have no clue.

>>58449236
420W psu
Gigabyte H110M-S2H
i3 6100 with stock cooler

>>58449245
CPU fan cable is plugged into the CPU_FAN socket. Yes it is white, it is hard to see in the pic but it is in the bottom left corner. The fan runs normally so far as I can tell. Case fan runs as well (just a regular molex plug). HDD has power cable and SATA data cable plugged in.

There are three things I'd like to address.

The OP could use a bit of reformatting/ refreshing. Notably the general tips section and maybe some other resources to add would be nice.

I haven't seen The Falcon in this thread in a while. If you are reading this I hope you didn't feel insulted that the thread kind of dumped on your website for a while. You usually give great advice, and your website is still a great resource. Also if you are here, I recommend removing the HAF 912. Lack of usb 3.0 support is a huge drawback nowadays.

>>58449313
>5th beep cuts off halfway
Maybe 4x long 1x short?
What does the beep codes in your instructions say about this?
If it's really something with the CPU it' either dead mobo, dead CPU or you fucked up your parts.

>>58449313
Oh i forgot to add, after it turns itself off, about 5 seconds later it turns itself back on again and repeats the beeps, and so on.

I have a 1070 build but I'd like to add a secondary old gpu with s-video and vga out to connect some crts up to. Low power draw and low temps would take priority and performance is not important at all. What are some cards that would suit this?

I have a 6600k with a hyper 212 evo.
Clocked it at 4.2ghz with 1.26v. Average peak temperature in 15 mins of aida64 was 65c with core 0 and 1 topping out at 72. Can i get a little more ballsy with this without getting my thermals too high?

>>58450147
I was under the impression that you had to have another 1070 straight up if you want a second GFX card at all.

>>58450474
What mobo? Generally should be comfy up tp 4.5GHz.

>>58450891
MSI z170 SLI plus. As long as my peak while gaming is under 65c I'm happy. Very aware that gaming won't put an aida64 load on it.

>>58450904
Yeah should be fine, that mobo has mediocore VRM at best, cooler is decent for medium OC, so 4.5 is realistic with ok temps.
When was the last time you re/applied thermal compound? You could get somewhat better temps, like 5°C or so.

>>58450839
Why is that?

>>58450939
I applied artic mx-4 iirc only about 3 months ago. I have 2 intake fans and one exhaust btw so air flow should be sufficient.
I didn't play around with any voltages or other clock speeds btw. I literally just watched a "how to overclock a 6600k" video on YouTube and he went with 4.2 at 1.26 as a 'pretty much safe bet for any chip' settings.

>>58451032
I thought SLI had to be run with 2 GFX cards of the same GPU

>>58451070
Seems fine, 4.5ish shouldn't be problem for your system, just stay under 80°C.

>>58451092
I'm not talking about SLI.

No ideao when, probably Q2 after Zen, but it will be on par with 1070/1080.

I have a Best Buy $25 gift card, should I get the Corsair 400c for $69? I currently have an Antec three hundred two and it looks ugly. How much can I sell my Antec case for?

>>58459713
>How much can I sell my Antec case for?
Antec cases suck ass and are worth shit, try to sell it to some retard kid for like 20-30 bucks.
t. Antec shit box owner.
>should I get the Corsair 400c for $69?
I'm not a fan of that case but it's a solid upgrade.. well, anything from Antec is a solid upgrade.
If you don't use a DVD drive you could get the Define S for a few bucks more, i'd say it's worth it. Anyways, you may want to add 1-2 fans in any case so that you have 2 in 1 out.

What's a good case under $100 then?

How would I go about putting 16TB of SSD storage into a mini-ITX C236 motherboard? It only has four SATA3 ports, one PCIe slot, and one M.2-2280 slot.

Learn to love getting hangnails and making them worse over time.

>>58461342
I've already got some pretty bad hangnails, so I guess I'm fine.

does touching the case to discharge static still work on newer cases that are painted?

>>58461549
Yes. Sometimes I still manage to get shocked when I touch my Define R5.

The ROG SWIFT 1440p has 144Hz for TN and 165Hz for IPS

Alright /g/ I've narrowed down my GPU to two choices:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB WINDFORCE OC 6G

Recently built my first pc. is 45c a good idle temp for the i7-6700k overclocked to 4.4ghz? without OC it stays around 28c.

i'm cooling with a corsair h60.

>>58464439

Shut it down before you fry your chip bro

You gotta be a l33t xtreme overclocker to be running those temps and getting those gains

>>58464493
posts like this one actually make me wonder if anyone ever got useful advice out of /g/ in these threads.

>>58464493
>>58464513
so im gonna assume it's ok then? a cursory google search shows ~30c should be normal idle temp for a normal clocked processor of this caliber, and i have not seen this one go above 80 at all, so i'll give it some time to find my comfort zone

Going to make a light gayming/hackintosh build in a custom case (Macintosh Plus shell. I'm not close to the 1st to do this mod.).
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yjwFYr

>why is there a case then
For its backplate and front ports

>AIO cooler on that cpu
>z170 and an i3
That board has older drivers that allow non K overclocking and I'm going to be running it in a case with shit ventilation (unless i cut the fuck out of it) so i want to move the heat as well as i can.

>10XX cards arent macOS compatible
Yet. Hopefully. Might swap that for a 470 otherwise.

Any changes i should make?

>>58464972
>mac anything
>ever
You know what's also incompatible? Your sexual orientation with this board. >>>/g/

>>58464972
>Might swap that for a 470 otherwise

Do it. Unless you can get it for dirt, any GPU below a 470 in performance is a waste of money.

>>58465067
word unless you have an old ass cpu that will bottleneck a 470/1060. no reason in going lower. you;ll just need a new low end card in a year.

Can anyone explain the difference between and 8gb 1070 and 1080? Why is there an almost $500 difference between the two in my country?

>>58466851
It's because you live in some 3rd world nigger shithole, nigger.

What do I upgrade next? Case only has 1 exhaust fan and cpu is running stock cooler not that it matters really since I can't overclock, gpu has been overheating lately and has been triggering resets

>>58449611
no normal person does. there's an abundance of activators 4 free

Just finished my first build with help from you guys.

Thanks bros

I snapped my heatsink fan and have a replacement unit. Is it worth taking the whole heatsink out and replacing it or just replacing the fan?

Would I have to clean off the old thermal paste?

>build rig

i'm thinking it's either a borked mobo or PSU. or i just fucked something up. any ideas?

>>58468976
You fucked something up
24pin ATX
4+4pin CPU
CPU fan cooler to CPU_1 fan header
Front I/O header with proper pinouts
RAM seated properly
PSU power switch on

>>58468976
Happened to me the other day. I swapped my PSU and it booted. 'Course check your cables and all first before spending money.

I got most of my puter parts, still waiting on the case and the graphics card (graphics card delayed because fucking californians are getting their shit wrecked by the weather) the optical drive caddy is useless, I'm just using it in the pic to store the ssd until I put it in the case

I was so hoping to build it on my day off on Monday for Martin Luther King niggers day, but it looks like the graphics card is expected on Tuesday.

There are cheaper 6600k's on Microcenter, if that's a possibility for you.

>>58467258
Upgrade that ugly ass case

>>58469069
>>58469112
Not sure what was wrong in the first place, but now it's working, so thank you both.

>>58469712
When I get the case, can I build the rest of the pc and boot to bios without the graphics card? Is that possible? I will probably assemble the rest of it when I get the case, but a way to test would be nice

>>58469747
Just use the onboard gpu until it arrives you retard.

So I received all my components and started reading the instruction manual for the MB and i noticed this;

>Due to Intel chipset limitation, DDR4 2400MHz memory frequency is only supported by 7th generation Intel processors. Higher memory modules will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2400MHz
>Due to Intel chipset limitation, DDR4 2133MHz and Higher memory modules on 6th generation Intel processors will run at maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2133MHz

I have a i5 6500 with two sticks of DDR4 2400MHz. So if i understand it will still work but will work at a lower frequency (2133MHz), right?

>>58471260
If your Motherboards Bios is up to date it will work with faster ram but it will run them at 2133mhz. Overclocked speeds need to be set manually or using the XMP profile in the bios.

But im pretty sure you will only be able to overclock them with a Z170 and Z270 motherboard.

when Z170 came out some people were having trouble with Motherboards not running OverClocked Ram out of the Box, they would need to put slower ram in to update the Bios then put the faster ram in later and overclock it.

>>58471260
Yes, unless you have a Z170 mobo, in which case you can enable XMP in BIOS to get the full effective speed

If you have B150 or H110 (or H170) you can't get the full effective speed

Is an Ivy Bridge build a bad idea? Would it cost more?

motherboards are expensive as shit.

my gigabyte z68 just died, and I am having a hell of a time finding a replacement cheap.

About to order one from aliexpress because ebay and amazon are retarded but I think the damn chinks will burn me.

It's actually a cheaper option to send a dead motherboard to a repair specialist, just to give you an idea of how expensive getting LGA1155 boards that work. $150+ shipping costs less than most Z68/Z77 motherboards in working condition.

>>58472573
no hope for that. fuckin sister threw a snowball at me, something popped and smoke came out. a chip above the cpu has exploded and welded the tiny legs together and burned the pcb. I'll get pics in a minute.

$70 for low end z77 on aliexpress. I don't know if the bios is in chinese or what though.

>>58472715
>a chip above the cpu has exploded and welded the tiny legs together and burned the pcb
That's probably one of the power phases or voltage regulators from the CPU power connector or to the DIMM slots. It's just a matter of melting off the destroyed contacts and testing the surrounding/linked components to see if they still work within specification. That takes a few hours to figure out, hence the high cost. But it's usually cheaper (and not as risky) than trying to buy a working motherboard from that generation.

it is the one between the two caps, DUI 1 is marked on the pcb. I scraped the carbon/melted plastic off but it still just infinite power cycles. my friend is bringing his z77 over so I can test components and see if they are okay.
