I can afford a 1080ti now, ive never owned a reference card, how loud are these fucks compared to after market? For reference i have a 970 strix atm.

>>59411856
>how loud

I'm sure it depends on quite a few things, not least of which is the sensitivity of your ears. I'm sure you can find a video that purposely captures the sound volume emitted by the card of your choosing.

New and improved build. I ordered the 650w PSU in this build and RMA'd the 520w. I feel more comfortable with the build now. Your thoughts, advice, warnings, critiques on this build, my brothers?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TY38Cy

>>59411856
on default settings its actually really quiet, even during load. The problem is that it throttles. So you are leaving roughly 100-200mhz performance on the table.

if you set a more aggressive fan curve, to retain the clocks, it will be cooler, but also noisy.

>>59411837
>The only worthwhile gfx cards are the GTX1050
You can fuck that right off. Only reason they sell is for alienware builds with limited space.
They are profoundly shit. A scam card if anything. I should not be given a 10xx name because of the deception of it.

>>59411932
It supports m.2. Consider it. Even a small one for just the OS, and leave the SSD for game's, and programs.
Considerably faster. But if ya can, just go whopping big storage on M.2 and leave the SSD for later, when you can afford a large on for 'main storage' and HDD's for backups.
But all in all fine.

Spent way too much on the case. Power supply is overkill. RGB RAM is a meme. It all works, but there is a lot of wasted money in there.

Does anyone know of a good, aesthetic, half height ITX case? I'm looking to build a new HTPC and don't need the extra space, but would still like to be able to use an add-on card if I decide I need one for whatever reason.
Availability from Canadian retailers is a plus, though I'm not against importing it.

Rate the upgrade plan for my system. Stuff I already have is marked "Purchased."

I thought Black Friday was mostly a meme in Canada. I really should have grabbed one. Still waiting on R5 though.

>>59412455

I thought that too, initially. I bought my CPU, mobo and RAM in October and had I waited for Black Friday I could have saved a good fifty bucks (although I would have paid more for the RAM, I bought that a week before prices got ridiculous). But retailers are starting to make more of an effort with their Black Friday shit because they lose business by people buying from the US.

Hey fellas, I built a machine with your help a couple of months ago, I just recently got a much higher paying job so am most likely going to upgrade my machine, but may wait until the 20xx/Vega cards come out before I do so. My question for now is, what monitors do you guys recommend? Pic related monitor I got secondhand and it has a few scratches in it, I'm probably looking for 1440p 60fps screens, probably 27 inches if possible as that's what I've gotten used to. I'll probably just get two. do you guys have any recommendations?
Pic related, my current rig. The G1 has done very well so far, for a 1060 card.

Jesus, dude. what are you planning on doing with that? Because you won't be able to do much in terms of gaming, which is what most of this general is about.
>>59412936
Just get some normal thermal paste like a normal human being
I used noctua NT-H1, was like 15 bucks and had no problems at all with cpu temps.
>>59412568

>>59411932
Ignore this anon
>>59412062
m.2 may be considerable faster but SSD is plenty fast already, not worth spending another 80 or whatever dollars on a m2 drive to cut your boot time from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.

>>59413454
>some normal thermal paste like a normal human being
>used noctua NT-H1, was like 15 bucks
The fuck is wrong you? Grizzly paste is the best at the moment and cheaper than your shitty overpriced noctua paste that should've been half the price you paid it.

If you care so much about being normal fuck off to facebook.

>>59413454
Well I don't game. Just shitpost.

Just use whatever paste that comes with your cooler. It's probably more than good enough. Buying paste is a waste of money.

>>59413699
Yes.
Out of interest, what's your PSU?
Also, if you're looking to save a bit of money, get an 850 instead of a 960, and a cheaper cpu cooler, but it doesn't seem like you are.

>>59413688
Thx but why even go there when I don't have interest in gaming culture. /g/ is more autistic anyway.

>>59413739
Windows itself is like 3gb or something, so 60gb is more than enough.
>>59413731
I'm sure you can find them, but you'd probably be better off just using a keygen, would work out easier for you.

>>59413740
i really want the best of the best

but I am not sure about the ssd, if there is any practical benefit at all i would like to get the 960 pro but there probably isn't right?

the cpu cooler is pretty on par with water cooling and it's more silent so I definitely want to have it

120gig isnt enough for any serious use, if LITERALLY all you do is cloud based office work and browse the web it will be fine, otherwise you want at least 256gig if not 500gig.

This is assuming you don't have another few TB of backup hdd storage.

Are these things the optimal cooling solution for the average person?
surely they can keep a cpu cooler while doing less noise than my old single fan Evo 212 that's a pain in my ass every time I want to remove dust

>>59413927
I have a few spare HDD I was going to use for games and storage. The SSD would be purely for OS and programs.

>>59414027
Might be acceptable, but you are definitely going to notice how much faster the ssd is and then be kicking yourself when you can hardly put anything on it.

Personally I regret even my 500gig ssd, picking up a 1tb m.2 on Monday.. But if you're pressed for cash 120gig will do the job.

>>59414042
what do you put on there that is more than 500gb?

>>59414079
about 400gig of work on that ssd, plus OS and everyday programs, then 2 256gig ssds full of games, a 128gig with my linux install that I swap out when I need it.

It's not that expensive to get higher capacity stuff now, basically I bought the SSDs in increasing capacity as price dropped, after I get the 1tb m.2 ill replace the 128gig with a 1tb normal ssd then replace the others.

I think they're the best in price bracket. I've got one myself cooling a FX8350.
My only issue is that the pump can be considered noisy. But useing a pair of headphone as speakers is louder.
I think it's quieter on less power hungry chips, as the software with it has scaling going on. Note* you can only set fan curve to preven dumfucks
For the price I can't fault it other than the mounting. I suggest getting around 12-16 spare washers as it seems to expect thicker mounting material.
Ask in /guts/. They've been through all the AIO's.

>>59413992
There are only 2 features of a cpu cooler.
>feature one
keep it under overheating temperature ANYTHING LOWER IS A WASTE
>feature two
do it quietly.

So, the best course of action is buy a tower air cooler with quiet fans that don't spin until the cpu reaches between 40-60degrees celcius, and even then hardly ramp up past 20% so they remain basically inaudible.
You gain NOTHING by cooling a further 5-10 degrees with a water cooler, you would have to be lucky to have a chip that is thermally throttled when overclocking, they will become unstable well before overheating, generally.

water cooling is a complete waste of time for everyone involved, other than aethetics.. I guess, sometimes it looks nice.

>>59414438
Depends if you want to play on 60fps or 144fps. Personally I would change the cpu to a 7600 and use the savings from that plus a bit more to change your 480 to a 1070 so that you'll have to upgrade it in 12 months instead of 6.

>>59414438
not probably fine, 100% totally not-cpu bottlenecked, you don't need an i7, you will not notice it in games, you will not notice it in general PC use, you will only notice it in high end professional usecases that properly optimize multi-core and hyperthreading to that extreme.

if you are gaming and you buy an i7 you are an idiot.

I'll switch to the i5 & 1070. A-OK now?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q6zFqk

>>59414550
thats good, you can probably go down from 650 watt psu to 500watt or 550 but the savings are probably marginal and can't be placed elsewhere.

the general rule for gaming is your gpu is basically all that matters as long as your cpu isnt more than 5 years old. the exception obviously being when we jumped from single to multicore.

>>59414519
that won't be your problem.
If the game you're playing is old, and the version of windows you have is new, try running the game in compatability mode.
>>59414550
Your GPU would bottleneck far sooner than your cpu would for playing games, you will probably not have to worry about your cpu until you need to buy a new motherboard. That build is solid, and will run modern AAA games at ~100fps. You could save money with your psu though and use that money to get a 2tb drive instead of a 1tb one.

>>59414550
o yea also that case is ugly as hell, get a Phanteks P400S with a window.

Need some help with a cooling theory. I have an older gaming laptop and I'm in the process of replacing thermal paste/pads today.

There are 2 sets of heat sink fins going to a single fan. One in front of the intake and one in front of the exhaust so its cooling as it draws air in and out.

The fan itself is opened up on the top and bottom which to me seems like that was take air away from drawing through the intake. Should I use something to cover the top and bottom of the fan off so it only draws/exhausts through the proper ventilation openings?

Mind you people can say this is "how companies designed their cooling to be" but this is an older MSI laptop with a generic ass laptop shell that other laptop companies used.

Should I change anything? I'd love to add a bigger SSD, but my budget won't allow it.

7100T as opposed to a G4560 is due to better power efficiency, as is the GPU (best performance per watt on the market for both CPU and GPU, as far as I know).

I really like the features of this mobo, lots of USB ports and an m2 slot, but I'm willing to downgrade if there's a cheaper option also with an m2 slot. I found some a little cheaper (around 100€) but the price difference wasn't good enough for me to downgrade.

Totally pointless but cool. I think I will pull the fan off it and mount it elsewhere in my case to help further cool my monstrously clocked 290x.

Ordered ram last Friday and this shit is still processing yet to ship..I should've just blew another $10 and just used Amazon prime for 2 day.

I'm getting a Hyper tx3 Evo for my a8-6600k (only tower cooler that fits in my case and I don't need to take everything apart to install)

can I expect some good overclocks on that?

Does the GTX1080 play ball with freesync monitors? As in, will adaptive sync function?

I need to buy a new monitor, and gsync monitors are all $100-200 more than their freesync equivalents.

Additionally, is going from a pixel density of 102 to 109 doing to be noticeable at all? I'm going from a 21.5" 1920x1080 to a 27" 2560x1440.

Pic related, one of the monitors I was looking at.

>>59419243
It won't be that noticeable after some time, It would be way more if you were using both at the same time side by side, I have a 84 and 94 ppi screens, and I can see the difference, even more when i'm moving windows from one to the other

>>59419243

If they did then nobody would buy a G-sync monitor, so...

>>59419271

Alright, sounds good. I'll only be using my current 1920x1080 monitor for couple of months before I buy a new secondary.

>>59419276

Not an answer.

>>59419556

>Not an answer.

Go look up the 1080 specs and see if it lists freesync under its supported features.

Is there anything i can do with a router I'm no longer using?

>>59419586
just router or wifi router?

>>59419556
>Not an answer

Did you get a C- in your 2nd grade English class, Anon-kun?

>>59419556

Alright dipshit, if you need it spelled out like a complete retard: NO, the adaptive sync function will not work. The WHOLE FUCKING REASON G-sync monitors are more expensive is because you need them for adaptive sync on Nvidia cards. If you could get adaptive sync with an Nvidia GPU on a Freesync monitor the G-sync monitors would be pointless and could not be competitive at their price point.

Do you understand ANYTHING about how a marketplace functions?

I think I'm going ahead with this. Honestly my only other option (taking into account I want 35W CPUs) seems to be waiting for Raven Ridge to drop and that won't happen until 2018 according to recent leaks, and it's not like I would save a lot of money either. I'd get 4c/8t instead of 2c/4t for about the same price, sure, but...fucking 2018, man.

Is Cryorig H5 better than H7 to the point where it'd be worth considering? Seen a couple people picking it up recently.

Can someone tell me what kind of RAM is compatible with my motherboard? I know DDR4 only, 288-pin but besides that I don't know what kind to get.

I'm looking to upgrade to 16 GB and I need a good option. But there are so many confusing numbers like PC19200 and phrases like CLDIMM and SDIMM and whatnot.

I just want to know what kind of ram I can use.

This is my mobo:

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/VM2rxr/gigabyte-ga-b250m-ds3h-micro-atx-lga1151-motherboard-ga-b250m-ds3h

Also I would recommend one stick of 8 GB ram rather than 4x2, and if you keep that mobo instead of switching utilize the full potential grab a stick with a higher speed.

I also hope you have a free 1 TB or 500 GB hdd somewhere because you wont get much out of only 120 GB ssd.

Lastly, your GPU vastly outclasses your CPU, so you might right into a bottleneck scenario where you've just paid extra dosh for a 6 GB that runs like a 4 GB.

I've got two new monitors on the way and I need to figure out a mounting solution.

Monitor 1: 27" 2560x1440
Monitor 2: 25" 2560x1080

I want to mount them as pictured, with the 25" 2560x1080 directly above the 27" 2560x1440 and angled down. The top of the desk is ~3/16" tempered glass, so I can't drill or screw anything into the desk. Clamping options should work fine though. Walls are fair game, though.

Final review? I will probably opt for refurbished/open box/etc. parts for peripherals and maybe case if i can find one just to reduce price

Is there any PSUs with smaller SATA power connectors or softer wires? Recently i've replaced my old case with Define S and it was kinda hard to connect disks because there is little to no space between connectors and case. One power connector in the middle of the cable even dissasembled while i tried to squish wires. Sure, connectors on the end of cables were fine, but i have 2 hdds and i bought 2nd ssd and there is only 2 cables with 3 sata connectors on my PSU(fractal delta r2 650w) and i'm kinda affraid that i'm going to broke another connector while connecting it to my 2nd ssd.

>https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fLV24C
The MoBo and CPU cooler are overkill, unless you plan on overclocking. Sound cards have been confirmed as snake oil time and time again so you really don't need that. The monitor is nice. If you want an overall snappier experience with your PC, I'd recommend you get and SSD for your OS and main programs, and then throwing all of your other files and games onto a mechanical hard disk. It really does make a world of difference.

If anything just ditch the sound card and put an SSD into your build and drop the mobo down by like 50 bucks and you'll be alright.

Ebay has 20% off tech.
$400 r7 1700 from futu online.

haven't upgraded my pc in years, now it's time.

my cpu and ram are old as hell.

cpu : i5 2500 3.3 ghz (not the K version)
ram : 8 gb of DDR 1066

what would make the biggest improvement?
i guess the cpu.

what cpu would you guys recommend?
i haven't checked them in years, don't know what's good anymore.
i'd stay with i5 because i'm not that rich.

for the ram, would upgrading to 1333 make any difference, or should i just like double my 1066?
my current cpu can't use 1600 it seems.

>>59412268
So you plan on putting the ram all together in quad channel? Isn't that shitty on the z170 chipset and only for x99/servers?

>>59413175
Gonna guess you have a $500 budget or some shit. Instead of doing that to get a pc all at once - save slowly and acquire components. Look for deals on craigslist or whatever other resale forum there is. There are also subreddits for hardware selling. Don't settle for a shitty pentimum rx460 system that can barely push a triple A at 1080p above 40fps.

If you're patient over the next couple months you could have a decent quad core and a better video card like someones old 970/980.

Both cpu and ram could use the upgrade, and while current i5 haven't been rendered useless (yet...), the only expensive ones are prob the k variants if you dont find them on sale. I say go with the 7500 (it's currently on sale by newegg with a promo) or even a 7400, kabylake doesn't have that much improvements over skylake performance wise but the memory compatibility is insane, I've never personally heard of a kabylake chip that couldn't do anything less than 3866 ddr4.

And since ddr4 prices are rising you might as well spend the extra 5 bucks or so to get faster speed ram even if the latency is a little higher.

If I can get 3200mhz RAM for the same price as 3000mhz ones, should I go for the higher mhz?

Will probably be getting a R5 for my first PC build, is it worth getting a 1500 or should I just get a 1400 (or 1600 if I have the money)?

you fucked up with that 3.5 meme card, trash it

Are case fans just a meme? I have a CPU fan and a fan in the side that sucks air in and one in the back that pushes it out. I've tried different combinations too but the CPU or GPU temps don't change more than 1-2C.

Win10pro OEM key can be had for $10.
I've been using an unactivated win10 for a few months. Should I activate it to get rid of the activate your windows watermark?
What else would it do for me?
I've already changed the wallpaper through other means.

r8 my next build

I have the cooler, the GPU, and case. Planning on upgrading the GPU when AMD gets their shit together (im a freesync fag)

>>59430408
But that would be extremely painful.

>>59430432
Besides the GPU as you said. Quite nice. Don't know what you are going to use that CPU, but if it's for gaming, it might be a little overkill.

>>59430436
for ur mum

>>59430450

gaming, i dont need hyperthreading but the base clock speed of the 7700k is higher than anything else intel has

>>59430517
>gaming
>i dont need hyperthreading
You will though, don't let i5 fanboys telling you otherwise, your CPU will age much better.

>>59430584

lol ok thx m8

>Wait for Ryzen 5!
>it's all 2 CCX CPUs
Yeah was so worth waiting, uh.

How is the Evga gtx 1070 acx 3.0? It is a good choice? Currently have a AMD r9 380

Which 1070 should I buy, MSI Gaming X or Asus Strix OC? I'm gonna use it for years so I don't want any VRM overheating or similar problems.

>>59431118
ROC Strix is overpriced, get the MSI

>>59431149
The price is about the same in my country, so it's not a big problem.

>>59431170
I would say go for the Strix then if they are the same pricing.

the muh sensors do literally nothing.

I'll be upgrading my PC in a couple of days.
I think I'll just wipe everything off it just to start anew.

I got Windows 10 right now, should I keep this or go back to Windows 7? I sometimes hear that win7 is better, but I never cared enough to verify.

I only use this computer for playing games.

>>59431263
Make sure to keep Windows 10 and absolutely not go AMD, Intel is what you need.

Thread is filled with AMD trolls at the moment but if you need advice just hit me up.

>>59412159
Would something like the CM Elite 110 be too large for your needs?

>>59431392
fuck off shill im buying ryzen

>>59431382
Solid, though I would suggest a larger SSD and a better GPU if you can afford it (possibly gtx 1070)

This is a build that ive primarily built in 2013

suits me well for everything, rendering, 1440p 60fps gaymen

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qT2zjc

how did i do

In all honesty I also have a feeling Coffee Lake will be where it's at and I'm tempted just buying a Pentium for now and upgrading for Coffee at the end of the year. I NEED to upgrade right now because my Athlon X2 is cumbling down and I can't do shit at the moment.

It's not that I do not wish to support AMD, but I have a feeling like we'll have to wait Ryzen 2 to get really something solid, I do not really want to play beta tester as much as I'd like to because I'm poor.

Do we have an idea if Coffee Lake is gonna be compatible on current Z270 boards?

>>59431764
>I'm tempted just buying a Pentium for now and upgrading for Coffee at the end of the year.

There could be a new socket type at that point, rendering your motherboard useless.

>>59431805
Can't overclock the Pentium anyway, right? So if I pick a cheap B250 for it it'll be fine?

I can just give it to my little sister by then and buy new mobo+Coffee at the end of 2017 in that case.

It's just so cheap and so good, I'm tempted.

>>59431764

>good

>>59431838
It's just speculation, intel seems to change socket every 2 generations, that doesn't mean they won't stick with a third this time.
You can overclock anything but it's more limited on non-k cpus.

>>59411837
Thinking of doing an upgrade, current rig is
>i5 2500k
>GTX 970
>2x8GB ram
>Asus P8P67 Pro

Because I live in a shitty eastern european country where the 7700k is over 50 euro(54$) more expensive than the 6700k I had to make some weird choices.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HG6vVY

>6700k
>2x8GB 3200MHz Corsair
>Maximus VIII Hero

Any suggestions on what to improve there? I'm kind of split between the VIII Hero and Ranger(I do like the extra 2 SATA ports but dunno if it's worth the 40 euro(42$) price increase.

>>59432073
Just get ryzen instead, its better

>>59432102
I was thinking about it, but I'm an Intel fanboy and I'll stick with them for one more gen, Ryzen is still pretty new and I'd rather go for the tried and tested 6700k.

Can I just plug the strip into a fan header or am I fucked

>>59432126
>>59432102
Also forgot to mention, here a 1700 costs 30 euro more than the 6700k, and a 1700x costs 90 euro more than a 6700k.

I think this is a part of building a PC so I am going to ask here.

I am finally about to get a 1000Mbps internet and right now I am using an ancient router so obviously I need a new one.
I don't know a thing about routers and modems and all that jazz so please what am I supposed to be looking for?
Obviously I want it to support the internet speed and I want it to have a good wifi radius but it also can't be too expensive.
Please help.

>>59432172
Most boards should be able to do 1gbps, some even 10 gbps. Just check specs for Lan speed

Will I notice a difference between 157 PPI and 185 PPI on a desktop monitor? I want a 4k display but there's a 28" and a 23.8" for the same price… can't decide.

>>59432137
learn to read specs before buying, fucktard.

>>59432248

I am not asking about a motherboard but a wireless router.

>>59432310
>>59432172
google your router model specs first

also there's no wireless 1Gb standard

>>59432290
no

>>59432306
I did and it said Asus aura which is of course the most popular rgb control scheme and it says my phanteks strips are compatible with Asus aura. Ant reasonable person would have made the same mistake.

Maybe I'll go on my rant about Nvidia artificially limiting the clock headroom of their GPUS

Is an EVGA
>210-GQ-0650-V2
worth it? It's gold.

I know I heard the SuperNova ones were supposedly bad was recommended the G2-3, but said G2-3 are expensive as fuck, so I'm asking.
