/g/uys, I need reliable cheap HDD for storage.
What should I get?

I'm considering to buy 2 1TB WD BLUE
Is it OK? Or should I get something else?

p.s. I heard HGST and WD are botnets
Is there non botnet reliable HDD?

Still taking advice concerning my new build. Why exactly would I get b350m instead of this one and how the fuck do I choose correct RAM?

why are you worried about botnet?

are you using windows 10 and an intel cpu?

Hey

Looking for some advice or input. I'm building a pc for my dad to do 2d cad work on, needs to render textures quickly im not too sure on the extent but I know it won't be too strenuous.

This is what I've got picked https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/MBby2R

How's it look? I think I'd go with a quadro p400 2gb the one listed is just a stand in at a similar price point

The budget is about right at £1000 all in, we're in the UK

Thanks
>>
>>60709958
that ram is pre overclocked, make sure that motherboard supports it.

i dont know much about AMDs new stuff, but with intel if you dont have a Z motherboard you cant overclock the ram or cpu.

make sure your motherboard supports overclocking and supports that speed of ram. the manufacturer should have a page dedicated to specifications, bios updates and all.
>>
>>60709918
Should be fine. Unless it's 4k 60fps. That may cause issue if you're trying to draw at the same time.
There's no certainty in that tho. More guesstimates.
>>60709948
Seagate should be pretty cheep.
>>
Dude on craigslist selling an EVGA 1080ti for 450 bucks. Total overkill, but I wanted to upgrade anyway and that's an absolute steal.

Here's my build, capture card not included. A wattage calculator estimated I'd need 509 watts, and I've had a 620 watt in my build for four years now. I'd like reassurance though, do I have the juice to power that thing?

guy from yesterday with first build that struggled to display something on monitor here

yess it really was that simple, only connect monitor directly to GPU

anyway now it shows on screen:
>reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

I can't access BIOS no matter what key on keyboard I press, it only shows the same message again

as I forgot to buy a CD reader I guess I have to go out and buy one now and then insert the windows CD, amirite?

>use UBS stick
the only one I have is more than 10 years old with what, 128 megs? I just never needed them
>>
>>60710002
Yeah, but minimizing size of botnet sounds better than increasing it
>>
>>60710048
But isn't seagate like one of least reliable HDDs?
>>
>>60710067
so i guess figure out what exactly you need.

what do you plan to do with it?
>>
>>60710111
There was a bad run of common units, but they're not really much less reliable anymore. I had a Seagate in operation for about 7 years without any hiccups. It still works, I just wanted more space.

OK. Swap to AMD R5 1600. Literally any of the cheapest am4 motherboards that has a heatsink on the VRM (bit in between the cpu socket and the rear usb ports).
Drop the samsung SSD for a Kingston UV400
Put a proper graphics card in it. See the OP
Hit up ebay for a keyboard and mouse.
Should have saved some cash, and also have a more usable graphics card.

I went the 6core CPU because longevity of the system. You can go with a R5 1500X and save even more.

You'll be gaming, so 0db GPU's are not really an advantage. I've got a 10606gb that's quieter than my case fans at idol. And need to be 60%+ speed for them to be louder.
Things are a lot quieter now.

I haven't seen benches for them either. But I think you would benefit more from a 1050ti.
They're damn near the performance of a 1060 3gb.*
*Keeping in mind for draw distance you need to follow the pi ratio. so perceivable difference between the two is minimal yada yada yada

>>60710251
At some point in time. What I'd really like to do is build an entirely new system, but money's tight, you know? A top of the line card for 450 dollars just isn't something I can pass up though. Hell, I anticipated spending 400 on a 1070 anyway.

I wouldn't either. DDR3 should be fairly cheep right now that no new systems use it. Also check Ebay for them.

im not that person, but by the looks of it the Msi b350 Gaming pro carbon has more power phases.

your motherboard will be cooler as each phase takes turn, will overclock easier with more stability.

Hey /g/

PURPOSE: I'm a security researcher and sometimes I have to use tons of applications at the same time, virtual machines, high demand scripts... And my current setup is kinda blocking the performance and crashes...
BUDGET: 2.5k€
State: Portugal
GAMES/SOFTWARE: AoE II (\m/)
GRAPHICS: I not really interested in high grafics (And I don't use GPU for cracking), I just need the ability to connect 2 monitors at least...
Clarify goal: improved specs

Where are the best cases? How to know what is the best cpu for virtualization?
(I still need to read with detail the installgentoo link).

Thanks guys.

The pro4 would be roughly the same price for me, if not cheaper. I heard both gigabyte and ASRock make solid ryzen motherboards, and the gaming 3 has a dual bios in case the original gets fucked up (which has happened to me before). Is the pro4 (not fatality edition) still worth it?

Would a 1070 work well with the ryzen? Is it worth the extra hundred bucks for ~400 mhz increase?
>>
>>60710835
I don't know what you want your pc for. If it's gaming then the 1070 should be better than the 580 since the 580 is amds counterpart to the 1060 I think. So if you want to spend the extra money for more power then go for the 1070. There won't be any issues with the ryzen cpu. There are a few memes flying around but there is no issue afaik.
>>
>>60710361
>You'll be gaming
not at all, my original post i said anything but gaming really. Ill just wait for the rest of ryzen for now, amd used to have good igpus so well see
>>
>>60710882
Sweet, thanks.

Mostly looking at gaming/some 3D work. Gaming will be at 1080/1440p so honestly either of the two gpus should be fine, I just want the gpu to be relevant as long as possible (so I don't have to upgrade soon)
>>
>>60710904
The Pentium had a integrated GPU. You don't need a card.
>>
>>60710921
can't really help you with that. Wait for more responses.
>>
>>60710934
my point was about how strong it is, someone else said it might struggle with 4k 60fps video while doing other stuff. I question even the pentiums cpu performance let alone the gpu
>>
>>60709020
At $25, I don't know. But at $30-$35 there are lots of superior options like the Cryorig H7 and loads of Scythe coolers.

>>60709875
3d mark is not representative of actual games, but yes probably.

>>60709918
Depends on the game.
In many games it stays above 60fps perfectly fine.
In others it bottlenecks an RX570 or GTX 1060, and dips to under 30fps at times.

>>60709958
Most motherboard manufactures have a QVL, qualified vendors list, on their site that lists speeds achieved with various RAM.
I would generally just recommend getting the cheapst 3000 or 3200, though. If it only runs at 2666 or 2800, that's really not a huge deal. RAM usually only becomes a bottleneck with a high end card, or in something like Civ VI or Dwarf Fortress. Most of the time you're going to be heavily GPU bottlenecked.

>>60710080
If you're getting a G4560 and not gaming it makes more sense to spend the money on a big cooler like Le Grande Macho.
Yes the CPU is going to run hotter using the iGPU, but with a 140w TDP+ cooler on that little it's still going to keep super quiet.
The GTX 1030 I believe is only around 2-3x the performance of the iGPU on the G4560. It's so weak and not worth it. If quiet is what you're after, you just need an overpowered cooler on the G4560.

Are there any other cases where the entire thing is a giant heatsink so you don't need any fans? I love the idea behind this case but whoever decided on this "open" design deserves a slap.

>>
>>60711221
It might be disabled by default so check that in your settings. Otherwise any speaker like this will work.
>>
>>60711221
yes, motherboard speaker. its only one not two. useless thing imo
>>
>>60710989
That's CPU limited. Sorry. The card will do more live processing things, than unpacking YouTube feeds and playing media.
You should be fine.
But what can be done is jumping up to a Pentium G4600/4620. The extra few hundred Mhz will clear the requirements you have for sure.
The uncertainty is that there's not that many real metrics done on the Pentiums other than gaming. So we have to estimate what it can do.
You may wish to have a look around for display cards, rather than gaming ones. But there's not many that can compete on price against the 1030 for some bizarre reason.
>>
>>60711205
Yeah, dust sucks for those open things. No, there aren't alternatives that I'm away of. Calyos has been working on that for a while and it works extremely well, but yeah it's a dumb case design.
They should have made 140x280mm passive radiators you can fit to various cases. Obviously wouldn't cool as well, but the cooling they have there is actually really overkill, especially for something that's power efficient like Ryzen.

You can just get large heatsinks. There's also the complicated option of using refrigerant with a radiator and vaporizer.
>>
>>60711297
the only other display card seems to be the 710 and thats weaker than the on board iirc.

EIGHTY-EIGHT(88) CORES.

the motherboard clearly has 2x x16 slots so pcpartpicker is lying about only taking one titan, it can totally do two

good luck finding a compatible water cooler, you will probably need custom shit

I only filled half of the RAM slots

it fits the same case, interestingly

The storage would be SAS or some other high end shit, not SATA, but I don't feel like researching it right now

Budget all in would probably be like 25 grand
>>
>>60710021
Personally, I wouldn´t go for that kind of graphics card. I would just get a 1050. and probably go with Ryzen at the same pricepoint. other than that it looks fine.

>>60710180
as the other anon mentioned, AsRock has teh best budget cards. I have the AB350m Pro 4, hich is really cheap. and had no problems with it so far.

I'm on a budget, else I would just get the msi big 4+2 VRM boards like krait and carbon...
>>
>>60712179
The gaming plus, mortar and tomahawk have the same VRMs, just less chokes.
>>
>>60712271
Also if you're going to go cheap, the asrock AB350m pro 4 is the best in its price range VRM wise.
It's got a heftier heatsink than the gaming pro and more components per phase so it should run cooler than the other 3 phase vcore designs.
>>
>>60711882
Just wait for EPYC and get 2x 32 cores for a total of 128 threads and 128 PCIe lanes, that way it will go from "it can totally take a second titan" to "it can takes multiple other Titans"

>>60712160

msi b350m pro-vdh is by far the cheapest here
and seems to be more than enough to OC my
r5 1600 and run 3600 corsair RAM.

Thoughts?
>>
>>60712553
You're not going to get 3600MHz until a bios update, and that's not certain but other than that if it has everything you need it should be fine.
I think it also has a 4+2 phase VRM design so it should be better than the gaming pro for overclocking and since you're not running an 8 core ryzen that should be more than enough
>>
>>60712636
but that exact corsair dimm is on the QVL stating it can run 3200mhz, which is what I'm aiming for anyway, at 3600 you start getting diminishing returns.
>>
>>60712671
forgot to add that the price of 3600 is same as 3200 here, which makes it a nobrainer to buy potentially faster RAM.

Actually ryzen will probably like 3600MHz a lot, but i didn't know that thing about the QVL so yeah go with that. Especially if it's the same price.
Also what the hell is wrong with the prices in your country?

>>60712686
Faster =/= better since faster RAM means more latency. Remember that. Ram timing cycle is important as well.
>>
>>60712715
Not with Ryzen it isn't.
>>
>>60712715
Latency really doesn't have much of an impact in performance for gaming or even general computing.
Neither does frequency on intel but ryzen is weird
>>
>>60712715
>Faster =/= better since faster RAM means more latency.
Not necessarily. What matters isn't the CAS latency in and of itself, but the absolute latency which you can get by dividing CAS by frequency. Quite often once you factor in the frequency, the latency on faster kits is approximately equal to that of a slower kit.

>>60712780
The frequency is important, but even with Ryzen you start getting diminishing returns as you approach 3000MHz.

a theoretical question, to use quad channel RAM, do I need to buy specialized quad channel kits, or 2 dual channel kits will work?
>>
>>60712850
Interesting watch, thanks.

I love this board sometimes, other times you get fanboy shitposting...
>>
>>60712903
any kit will work, but both your CPU and Motherboard have to support quad channel.
>>
>>60712930
I understand

thanks for the info
>>
>>60712903
It doesn't matter. You can use four different brands and it'll be fine, with speeds across the board being set to the lowest spec of the set and latencies to the highest of the set. Just make sure the RADICOOL 9K HEAT SPREAD ULTIMATE bullshit doesn't make it physically impossible to use.
>>
>>60712903
>>60712930

Crash course on what is dual channel and what is quad channel and VS comparison with ryzen cpu?
>>
>>60712903
Either is fine, the dual channel kits might not be able to run XMP setting in quad channel, i dont know if going to quad channel will mess with them or not since i've never done it, i'm just putting that out there, but it will work at default memory speeds and you'll probably be able to manually overclock to the memory's advertised speeds even if XMP isn't working.
>>
>>60712903
Mixing kits should work, but generally isn't recommended because apparently there can be issues - if you buy a kit, then all the sticks are verified to work at the frequency and latency specified if you stick them all on your motherboard. If you mix different kits, there's no such verification. Not something you should worry about, but it's definitely better to buy a single kit than two kits if you don't have to pay unreasonable premium for the former.
>>
>>60712950
>>60712972
I'm don't actually mean different brands/speeds, just asking if I need one kit with 4 DIMMs rated to quad channel, or I can buy 2 kits with 2 DIMMs each and run in quad channel
>>
>>60712959
Ryzen doesn't support quad channel. Like LGA1151 and all other consumer boards it's limited to dual channel.
Dual channel means the CPU can address a maximum of 2 DIMMs worth of ram at the same time so effective bandwidth is doubled vs single channel, quad channel unsurprisingly means it can address 4 sticks at once so bandwidth is quadrupled.
>>
>>60712959
Dual channel means that you can have as many RAM sticks as your motherboard has slots, but you're only getting bandwidth as if you had two sticks and the others only contribute to increased capacity. With quad channel you can have up to 4 times the bandwidth of a single-channel configuration. In practice, for most applications dual channel is plenty and moving from dual channel to quad channel has little to no impact on performance.

Ryzen does not support quad channel. If you want quad channel RAM(for some reason) with AMD CPU, you should wait for Threadripper.

hey

I bought a cheap UBS to UBS cable but when I got home on the cable itself it was written that you should not use it to connect 2 PCs. I only bought it for exactly that purpose, to transfer all files from this laptop to my new PC. can I use the cable anyway?

maybe I am just a dumb fucking idiot but I fear that if I use network to transfer the files I will lose data and the files won´t be transferred perfectly. what do?
>>
>>60713091
Since you're looking at a 144Hz display, I'm guessing you're going to use it for gaming. In which case it's definitely time to upgrade your CPU and GPU. You have a non-overclockable i5, so it's way past its best-by date.

>>60713175
That would depend on your priorities. There aren't any new(interesting for you) CPUs coming out for a while, so I'd probably start with a new CPU and motherboard, then GPU and finally screen.
>>
>>60713091
If you are going to get a 144hz monitor pony up for the Freesync or Gsync especially if you game a lot.
>>
>>60713091
Yeah at least get an AMD GPU (if you can find one) so that you can use the adaptive refresh of that monitor.
You should probably upgrade your CPU too since you'll probably be getting extended periods of 40-60FPS and occasional drops to 30 or lower in newer games with that and even with adaptive refresh that will look bad, but you can probably have a good experience in last gen games or esports titles with a setup like that + an rx470/570
You'll need a whole system upgrade for anything more ambitious than that though.

That monitor is freesync though.

DX11 is only a problem with AMD if you've got a particularly slow CPU.
The main reason to go with a 1060 over a 580 now is availability. If the prices and availability were not whacked out right now the 580 would generally be the better buy.

Eh, it's okay.
It's a bit late in the game to move to pascal but it's also true that the 1080 is cheaper now.
Probably could have sold your 980 for more before the 1060's got so cheap though.

Anything other than those evga's that were burning their VRMs out will be fine.
It's a 150w card, as long as the heatsink and board desing isn't complete chinkshit it

Their AM4 boards are recommendable with conditions.

Everything else - good 4+2s, better than most B350s

Overall consensus on gigabyte b350 gaming 3?

Dual bios is nice and it has the best on board audio from what I've researched. Additionally, its pretty cheap and has good features.does it have some massive flaw that prevents people from recommending it?

What does the ASRock pro4 have over it? It's the same price, without dual bios. Better bios updates maybe? Gigabyte/ASRock seems to be good based on reviews, it's MSI and ASUS that seems to be shit.
>>
>>60714256
Agree, I got some things mixed up
Go for the MSI carbon pro or krait or Asrock B350 pro4

Asrock AX370 taichi if you want to push overclocking to the limit

eeeeh, it's got 3 phases of better VRMs and they're more easily cooled because there's like twice the required components per phase, but against a 4 phase they're probably about even.
The Pro4 however has worse memory frequency support than many other boards, I can't seem to get more than 2667MHz on my memory kits and a lot of other people seem to be having the same problem, while this same memory gets 2933 on pretty much every other board (but there's also a bios update that may make this a non-issue). and I'm currently rather bothered about it's limited fan headers. 3 in total including CPU and no speed control on the second chassis header so I need to get a fan controller or something so my computer can stop being so noisy.
I haven't really looked into everything about it but if it's the same price as a pro4 i'd say go with the gaming 3
>>
>>60714477
You can pretty much get any board that has a heatsink.
You may run into issues if you try extreme overclocking on 1700, but for 1600 any board will do (granted they have heatsinks).

Don't SLI 1070s man.
Even back when dual GPUs weren't almost worthless there were very few situations where SLI/crossfire made sense for anything other than the flagships.
If you want mroe performance than a 1070 a 1080 or 1080ti are very competitively priced for that and SLI 1070s will probably be slower than a 1080ti in most games because SLI scaling is not optimised in really any games anymore

either way i still need my 770s to work so if i can find a cheap HB bridge i'll grab it

Get a G4560 now or wait for Ryzen 3?

Guys so I got a Ryzen 1600, and paired it with a ab350 gaming 3 because of the good reviews, should I change it since the ram I'll be using (lpx 3000ghz 2x8gb) isn't fully supported? I already have the parts in my room but they are still sealed.

I don't understand why anyone would use custom water cooling in an SFF case.
The whole point of SFF is to have it portable, almost the whole point. Once custom water cooling is put in place, it's not longer portable.

Looking for a new gpu. Do I buy a new Vega card as soon as they drop before they get bought out. Or wait a couple weeks then buy Nvidia card.

Also can a 1070 run a 1440p 144hz monitor comfortably?
>>
>>60715542
the actual reason sff cases are created is console war autism; otherwise they would be more often practical and have carry handles
>>
>>60715707
>and have carry handles
No... Why would they have carry handles? That only increases their size.

It's not for "console war autism", nobody cares about the size of a pc compared to consoles, it just doesn't matter. Only a tiny little spec of the sff crowd give a single fuck about consoles vs pc.

First-time builder here, this is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pWm7JV
Country is Russia, didn't pull the trigger yet.
Did I fuck up?
>>
>>60715759
Yes, shitty CPU cooler, shitty RAM, shitty SSD, too low vram on GPU.
>>
>>60715759
What's the usage of the build?
If you're the kind to benefit from 8 cores you should also be the kind to benefit from higher frequency as higher memory bandwidth generally benefits those kind of tasks and most importantly Ryzen CPUs love faster RAM so you'd get noticeably better performance with higher frequency kits
The 212 EVO is a waste of money because it's not much better than the stock one, the slight upgrade is not worth $25 or whatever it is in russian bux
the rest is pretty good

>>60715759
Get at least 2666 ram, and if the price difference is less than 15% go up to 3200.

That is my only complaint. I disagree with the other guy that the 212 is a waste of money. The Ryzen stock coolers are unusually good for a boxed cooler, but the 212 is still significantly better.
>>
>>60715837
Cryorig H7 or better, ballistix sport LT and overclock them, MX300 for the SSD, and then 8gb vram on the GPU.

>>
>>60715874

Also 1600 is probably a better buy, 1700 if you're a bigger streamer, or do proper work with it. 1600 is enough for gaming, and for streaming, though maybe not streaming in 1080p@60hz.

I no H7 or better, stay with stock cooler.

this is going to be a big mental turd so have some tits for your troubles

my budget is 1500 eurodollars
want to gaym at 1440p 144Hz

Should I buy 1080Ti or wait for Vega
Should I go 1700x or 7700k delid stutterfire (I've always been team red for CPUs but the only thing I am going to do is gaym and maybe video edit and I dont mind waiting more for rendering than having lower framerates)
Whats the cheapest quality mobo for 3200 ram once the CPU has been chosen

Right now I am sitting right under 1500 eurodollarydoos with either intel or amd build by being a cheapshit on PSU and HDD, how much will a meh nonmodular psu bite me in the ass

Yeah, I returned it immediately. But it was not as apparent on the default Windows Power plan. I hope they don't fuck me up and say they heard no noise. It doesn't happen on the BIOS either.

id love to see someone bring that on a plane.

I put together my PC and am about to update all the drivers and mobo BIOS before I do anything else. One bit I'm confused on is the mobo has an on-board VGA driver titled as AMD chipset driver. Is it updating the same thing as the drivers from AMD's site?

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-PC-MATE.html#down-driver&Win10 64
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064

Do I install the driver's from AMD's site after the mobo one since the latter is dated earlier? The one from MSI is way bigger in file size, too.

if 2k get the r1700x
trident gskill is pretty guud and has high comp rate but on the not so cheap side, there are cheaper rams that are also fine but i like the trident non rbgs the most also 3200mhz mhh tasty, the 1080ti is fine and vega most likely won't be better than a 1080ti at best come close. So if you have the money just the the TI and be guud with it

Comments please.

Backstory:
- general use computer, will run Linux and some VMs
- 8 GB is enough for me now, but I picked a board with 4 slots so I can upgrade
- I don't plan to overclock, but might in the future
- video card and SSD come from a previous build
- I have a bunch of fans already, plus will get some rgb strips
>>
>>60717084
or if you play fast paced but low demanding games
like cs go for example i would still get 120hz or 144hz monitor to pair up with gtx 1070 but i would get 1440p one and play aaa at 1440p high 60fps and less demanding online shooters at high frame rates.

Also remamber that the higher the frame rate the better cpu you need and intel oc cepu is highly recommended

any way for most games resolution>frame rates once you pass 60-75fps

it won't be overclocked when you put it into your pc unless it's a factory clock. any oc done by afterburner or similar only gets applied once you load into windows and afterburner boots up

tldr; there won't be any issues at all
>>
>>60717163
no they are not
and it depend on the actual wear on gpu (how often and how high of a load it worked thats why no one ever should buy used mining gpu with worked 24/7 under 100% load)
how long it run and with what temps and if he messed up with voltage.
Generally oc is pretty harmless for gpus if temps are in control and voltage at stock.

stop using godrays and overclock your cpu and gpu to the max. why buy a whole new setup if there's still untapped performance left in your current system. you'll probably be able to gain 15/20 fps by overclocking everything, even ram if possible.

He isnt from Poland he is either a Slovak or Slovene and he is in typical fashion derping about usa prices.As for prices between poland and germany. Prices in poland are usually few % higher than in germany just so much that shoops can jew more but not as much as to make people willing to go with the hassle of dealing with long distance shipping and dealing with foreign shoop. It's seriously infuriating especially considering 3-4 time lower wages but that's how it is.
>>
>>60717451
>2400K
Ignoring that, you're in a complicated situation.
your CPU and/or memory is definitely the reason for the poor performance but there might not be much you can do about it without upgrading most of your computer.
If your RAM is 1333MHz or 1600MHz then moving to an i7 wont really help much, but just upgrading the ram wont either, and also your motherboard might not even support faster RAM, i cant remember where the average overclocking boards went up to from the sandybridge days but i doubt it was good seeing as the max overclock on sandybridge is 2133MHz.
Ryzen isn't particularly good at fallout either so you're boned there.
I'd say if your RAM is good, pick up a used i7, if not just bear with it

Looks okay, though I'd get a 1400 due to the AM4 platform lifespan. Excel is multithreaded well, and so are browsers now days. But obviously that'd cost more.
For $415, you can't beat what you've got though not paying for windows and a larger SSD would be better.

Oh, that PSU is not worth $45 though. That thing goes on sale for $20 often. You can often find gold rated seasonic semi modular for $50.
