those russians take this seriously

Alright what's the best 1080ti build I can get for $950?

>>61014712
quit using the shit copypasta for this thread shitlord.

Anyone here use paypal credit to pay for shit on ebay over time? Seems like if you fuck it up you could be in some deep shit. How's it work?

>>61014869
>Seems like if you fuck it up you could be in some deep shit.
I'm assuming you aren't american?

>>61014883

I am, but the last time I used paypal was in like 2011, this is new to me.

>>61014904
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit
It's a line of credit that functions just like a normal credit card but with 6 month no interest no payments. Then they start hitting you with 20% apr.

>>61014943

Basically I was looking at this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Quad-i7-7700k-16GB-2TB-GTX-1080-Ti-11GB-Custom-Gaming-Computer-Desktop-PC-/112421222468?hash=item1a2cd3b844:g:hBcAAOSwZKBZKR6E

So after 6 months I'd start getting fucked. Yeah I'm just gonna stay away from this.

https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC

If you want help:
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA).
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate.
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
>G4560 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - if you can't afford better or specifically need 8 threads but not a very powerful CPU
>R5 1500x - All you really need for 60fps with power to spare; Don’t get an i5.
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; Get a 1600x if you don't OC
>R7/Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/mixed use; Not required for just gaming.

GPUs:
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>RX 560 and GTX 1050Ti - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games
>RX570 - 1080p@60hz at high, running most maxed older games at 144+hz.
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@60hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; Go for the RX580 if you can.
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@144hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p.
>GTX 1080 Ti - 1440p@144 hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games; You're kind of going overboard with this one.
>AMD GPUs are suffering a lack of stock and Nvidia a rise in price thanks to e-currency miners

General:
>ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
>Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
>NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
>The Ryzen lineup comes with exceptionally good stock coolers. (with the exception of the 1600X) consider using them over any sub 35USD cooler.

So with the recent increase in card prices for Nvidia as well, what price do you guys think I could get for a like new MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X version? The Gigabyte 1080 is right around $500 right now and if I could sell my used 1070 for a higher price than usual I'd be willing to pay the difference.

No, after 6 months you do a balance transfer for 3% and get yourself another 12-15 months of 0% interest. The minimums are like $25.
You're worth it.

Send help lads, my graphics card has finally died and I need something to replace gtx 770
Unfortunately there are literally no cards around

>>61015030
>Whew 20%, is PayPal ran by Native Americans?

No, 20% is pretty common for a credit card.
I don't even care the % to be honestly, I rarely carry a balance.

you're in for a bad time, crypto miners are driving up prices for AMD cars and even nvidia are affected as well

>>61014760
Um, you could buy the 1080 Ti and an enclosure, then go to Starbucks and sit watching Dell XPS fag get up to potty and jack his Thunderbolt3 lappy.

That would meet your budget, barely.

Just got the most frustrated I've ever been building this PC for a friend.

Basically it's a spar parts build that my friend is gonna put his 480x and SSD/Hard Drive in. He had some ancient AMD CPU/MOBO but it let out the smoke. It was my old Gigabyte Z87 UD4h and 4770k that when I put up worked perfect. Dust it off just now, putting it in a Corsair 100R with a Arctic Liquid Freezer 120 cooler with a EVGA PSU that he bought new and had shipped to my place. So I get it all together, use an old SSD of mine just to test. On boot up all I get is a flashing cursor. Resetting bios, pulling the cmos battery, nothing changes. I switched over to the back up bios on the board and bam it boots, Windows installs fine, load up prime 95, let it run for a while, everything good. I check the bios. So today I got to box it up to take with me next week to my friends place to set it up, figure i'd check the bios first to see if they put out a new one, sure enough the did, I update it and bam i'm back to the flashing cursor


Since this worked when I put it up and the only change from then was using the iGPU I can only assume the latest bios breaks iGPU support. Really fucking frustrated, I have a Z97 mobo that is known good but i'd rather not give that up since it's kinda in use right now but i'm gonna take it with me in case it turns out it's not the iGPU.

>>61014973
>No mention of the i7 7700K
>No mention of fast RAM
The 560 still loses to the 1050 on both raw performance and price/performance ratio metrics. The 1050Ti is ok if you're looking for the cheapest 4GB card, but really the sensible cards are 1050, 570/580/1060 6GB, 1070 (overkill) for 1080p

Otherwise not too bad, but the R5 1400 info can probably be deleted

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hcH6bj

any recommendations for upgrades? I'm etting an SSD fro my OS and game loads but keeping the 3 TB of storage for all of my other shit.

>>61015236
Mark everything you already own / have on hand as purchased on PCpartpicker then repost. If you already have all that, post speccy as well.

The only upgrades would be the SSD + a new gfx card like the RX 570 when they come down in price. You could get an i5 4570 or better as well, but personally I'd hold out on the i3 for as long as possible then upgrade the whole platform. You'll see the biggest bang for your buck by upgrading the gfx card first

>>61015198
Contact gigabyte support by phone

>>61015236
Obviously if you don't have that stuff, don't buy it now

>>61015354
not to that new guy, but how the hell do I mark it as bought? I currently own all of those parts and the PC is assembled, I just don't know how to do that per se

>>61015354
Whats the point calling for a board out of warranty? I tried all the stuff an end user can do. If it still won't boot with a GPU i'll just toss the board

I'm assembling my first PC, just installed the motherboard. But I have a question regarding the I/O shield

Is it supposed to "bulge" out in the middle? It was pretty tough to get the motherboard lined up and locked in the first place. I can't even fit a thumb drive in most of the ports, if it fits it gets stuck quite badly.. I've googled around and people say it's normal, but surely it's not normal not being able to insert any devices? It looks a bit missangled on the top and bottom due this "bulge".

Motherboard is an Asus Z270E and the case is Fractal Design Define C.

>>61015391
You mean on PC part picker ?
Click on "edit this part list"
and then click the cog beside the "buy" button and manually set a price/ set as purchased

>>61015412
Customer support. Who knows what they might say, but usually you don't have to wait on hold for long

>>61015413
I/O shields are a bitch. You might have to bend or snip off pieces to get it to fit properly

>>61015434
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fs8LgL

>>61015434
shit I forgot to add text, well whatever, anyways, this is my current build I am running the I3 stock freq. and voltage, nothing major, the GPU fucking hates the new Radeon Drivers, and can crash and die for some reason

>>61015464
I'm sure it fitted.. What pieces are you talking about, metal or the padding?

>>61015464
Maybe i'll call them later, I spent so many hours fucking with it i'm burned out.

On the plus size, for a cheap cooler that Arctic 120mm aio works great. Kept my 4770k in the mid 70s with prime running with my 4.5ghz over clock on it.

How bad will the bottleneck be with an 8350 CPU and 1070 GPU?

For stuff like Total War, it's pretty clear that it'll be awful. I'm more curious about Blender, Photoshop, or a an average newish game like Witcher 3.

>>61015477
if you want to hoard data consider a NAS, either off the shelf or DIY solution.

Buying the parts soon any advice or changes I should make? My friend offered me his 1060 6gb for $200.

>>61015596
I'd take that 1060, if only because it's near impossible to get a 580 or any AMD card right now. If you can get a 580, do it.

>>61015614
Other than that any other input?

>>61015520
If you're at 1080p, huge bottleneck on some games. If 1440p you're fine but it's time to upgrade soon

>>61015488
Whatever's causing the bind

>>61015477
Like I said before, SSD + gfx card. I don't think a used i5 4570 is worth 120USD (ebay sold listings price). If you find that you're getting stutters with the 570, you might consider upgrading the CPU.

What's your budget anyway?

>>61015596
Get 3000/3200MHz RAM (check compatibility, some RAM that likely works in OP builds)
Get 240 or 256GB SSD

>>61015625
spend more on the power supply. Something semi-modular or fully modular with fully black cables. IIRC, there's a Seasonic fully modular 520W for like $42

>>61015625
Also, add an SSD to hold the operating system. 120 GB minimum.
And get faster ram. 3000 or 3200 mhz

>>61015596
>arctic silver
Wasted money.
>RAM
Too slow, get 3000/3200.
>no SSD
Add one if you don't already have one, for example Samsung 850 EVO, PNY CS1311 or ADATA SU800.
>WD Blue
Get Toshiba P300, far better.
>RX580
Good luck finding one. Get a 1060 6G instead.
> My friend offered me his 1060 6gb for $200.
Do buy.
>EVGA 500B
Decent but if you want to OC get something better like EVGA G2/3 or Seasonic G 550W.
>wifi
Get a AC card, search for Gigabyte on PCP, should be around $49 or so.

>>61015642
my budget is around 300 CAD max, I have to pay for college right now, so my budget is lower then the usual 500$

>>61015642
>Whatever's causing the bind
The problem is that I have no clue what's causing it. I'll doublecheck tomorrow, but working with those dispenser screws were a pain in the ass.

Add $200 for the 1060 6gb. What thermal paste would you recommend?

>>61015771
looks good

>>61015771
Looks good but get a 240GB if you can afford it and i really recommend a better PSU for OC, unless that doesn't matter to you.
>What thermal paste would you recommend?
The one that's preapplied on the cooler. AMD isn't jewshit and the cooler + thermal paste are actually good.

>>61015520
i tried running CSGO on the analytical engine but only got 0.00000000003 FPS. this is why we need Lisa

should I wait for x299 or build ryzen right now?

>>61015771
Check RAM compatibility
Get aftermarket cooler if you're trying for anything over 3.8GHz
Don't need thermal paste
Get a bigger SSD - 240 or 256GB

>>61015843
X299 is trash.
wait for Threadripper

>>61015669
Not much you can get. I'd get a 240 or 256GB SSD, then upgrade the gfx card after that when you have the money saved up. Right now prices are crazy for gfx cards

>>61015850
I don't plan on overclocking unless I can't get 60 fps.

>>61015875
sounds like a fine idea to me, any recommendations? should I go green or red? I dont care about heat or noise too much so whatever seems like good bang for my buck I'll buy.

>>61015114
Yeah, but I have no choice, I need a card literally now
I looked through and found asus expedition gtx 1050ti, is it sort of comparable to my 770? If yes, I'm literally gonna buy it tomorrow

>>61015843
Wait for Threadripper, it's coming out in the next few months. Hopefully at the begining of august.

>>61015895
RX 570 when prices settle
PNY CS1311 240GB SSD
Also selling your old gfx card will help a little

>>61015003
Doubt so. 1070 increased in price but it isn't out of stock. At best, you will be able to sell it for the price you bought it for maybe +50.

>>61015904
Better than your 770

>>61015940
wow not everyone on 4chan is unhelpful, thanks for the help. It'll probably help offset the cost of my upgrade though, lets hope I can find an RX 570 after the summer. Thanks for the info though

>>61015992

I made my own build and it started off really well, but it somehow turned out being around $700.

I can do it on my own, but I am having issues hitting the $500 this time.

Anybody have experience with the Fractal R5? I'm planning on sticking a 280mm radiator at the front, and I'll be using the topmost front caddie for an optical drive. This requires me to remove both HDD caddies.
Does the R5 allow me to stick one caddie somewhere else? I would prefer that I have space for a bottom intake fan. I will need space for two HDDs.

Why doesn't this stuff get more love? Someone on here posted about using it on their CPU contacts for lowered voltages a couple of months back. I had a bottle for keeping my headphone jacks from getting scratchy, and I decided to give it a try a couple weeks back. Already had my voltage as low as I could go and be stable, but I dropped it another step and let it run stress tests at night for a couple nights, and it works fine, no errors.

>>61016354
PSU is likely too weak for Vega
Don't buy Vega unless you have a 1440p or 4K display
No need for cooler unless the stock cooler won't fit
Get faster RAM (3000/3200) and check compatibility
Get SSD when you have the spare change

>>61016599
But Ryzen's stock cooler is actually decent.

>>61016599
If you're happy with your i5, wait. AMD's next 8 core will likely be a decent improvement in clockspeed

>>61017072
Ryzen loves fast ram because of how it's built
Ryzen consists of 2 CPU complexes or CCX's. The CCX's are connected by AMD's "Infinity Fabric". If a Core from CCX1 wants to talk to a core from CCX2, if has to use the infinity fabric to due so. The infinity fabric runs at the speed of the ram so fast ram makes a HUGE performance improvement on Ryzen chips.

I was planing on upgrading the PSU to a be quiet! one when I buy the GPU, I'm pretty sure the stock cooler won't fit because of the size of the raven case.

Is faster ram (3000/3200) really worth the price I can get 12gb of 2666 ram for the same price as 8gb at 3200.

I'll be upgrading to a ssd pretty soon for my current pc so I'll have that for when I get the gaming one. My current pc can't even run a fricken gba emulator without stuttering and plays movies at like 25 fps so a upgrade is inevitable.

Also should I switch to windows 10 for gaming?

Literally my first post in /pcbg/ for months. I just asked about Ryzen here because I didn't want to post in the current brand war threads.

>>61017222
On Intel, yea. On Ryzen, it's a very noticeable difference.
>>61017214
It doesn't make the CPU faster. The CPU will still operate at either the stock clockspeed or the overclock speed you set it to.
What this does is increase the IPC or instructions per clock. This makes a HUGE jump to single thread performance.
Some test with Ryzen 7 using 3600 mhz ram show it matches IPC with a 7700k.

>>61017233
Until the bubble pops or Eth becomes vulnerable to ASIC.

>>61017193
Thanks /g/ didn't see that

>>61017256
It has nothing to do with single-core performance, you said it yourself that it increased the communication speed between CCXs, how is two cores communicating together considered "single core" in any way?

>>61017286
The infinity fabric does a LOT more than just allow communication between CCX's. That's a gross oversimplification. The infinity fabric affects everything because everything has to go through it.
Think of it kind like the CAN/BUS in a Car ECU/PCM and BCM interconnect. Every single thing goes through the can/bus. Flick the stalk to turn on the blinker? signal goes to the BCM, through the canbus to the blinkers. Push on the gas pedal, the signal goes to the BCM, through the can/bus, to the ECU/PCM and then to the electronic throttle body.

Post benchmarks on high frequency RAM. That should convince people.

Best cases with 90degrees motherboard mounting go

I just can't decide what CPU cooler I want.
I want the best cooling possible, but don't want it to get in the way of ram or any other bits

Ok youre comin in hot there man calm down, the 580 they had has been bought i think, and a free 4gb card? why complain?

>>61017588
No.

Been constructing lists for about 7 months.

This is the rig I am thinking of using.

What is wrong with PCPartPicker?

(Also, feedback would be appreciated.)

>>61017585
A dual core processor?

Fuck you.

>>61017624
You got it for free?

Nevermind then.

Go on.

For free, the 570 is a great choice.

>>61017626
Your budget ass PoS is better off with a good dual core processor than a trash CPU from the AMD moar cores era. 0/10.

>>61017626
Well unless you have an SSD hanging around, then dont get a 5400rpm HDD, also don go amd low range they run hot and cant handle heavy loads well.
Also dont get a small case or at least get plenty of case fans because that chip will run hot as fuck

Any comments welcome yes i know its a huge psu its from an old build most of the parts are. Only new parts are cpu mobo ram and case.

GPU I guess.
Upgrading any else would require a completely new setup.

>>61017706
Probably his current build

>>61017703
>more expensive
It's literally $11 cheaper.

>>61017706
It was my first build that I stuck with and upgraded at the time. used to be this in 2014 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BWHKJx

>>61017703
faster ram my man

Current rig has a shitty old am3+ cpu, any advice on what to get to replace it? has to be affordable.

>>61017742
Budget?

>>61017720
I'm considering getting a new monitor a few inches larger and later on upgrading the cpu to an 8core in the same brand and slot, and possibly the GPU too.

>>61017742
GPU. Anything else would require a new Mobo, RAM and CPU.

>>61017765
Monitor is always good since they last long.

>upgrading the cpu to an 8core in the same brand and slot
Don't do this. Ryzen is so much better than anything AMD can offer in the AM3 bracket. Just save for that upgrade. You have a long time to do so since AMD isn't ditching the socket till 2020.

>possibly the GPU too
Good idea. But now is really not a good time to be in the GPU buying market.

>>61017768
what?
>>61017761
like 60 euro, which is about 100 bux i think.

>>61017823
Upgrading your CPU would require you get a new mobo and DDR4 ram.
Upgrading DDR3 ram isn't worth it.
So upgrading your GPU or getting an SSD (if you don't have one) is the most viable options.

How much over clocking can I do on a ryzen 1600 with the stock cooler?

>>61017853
thats why i said it should fit in an am3+ socket, i have no need to upgrade ram or gpu at this time.

>>61017889
Save the money for the jump.
Ask yourself if you really need that margin upgrade at the moment.

>>61016768
I'd stick with a 1070 or 1080

>>61016851
>The AMD Radeon RX 560 is better than the GTX 1050
Wrong

>literally $85 new at this point.
Wrong, unless you mean the 1050, which is 85USD new.

>>61017168
>I can get 12gb of 2666 ram for the same price as 8gb at 3200.
I seriously doubt it's 40USD cheaper. If it is, you're encountering an awesome sale or you don't know how to search

>>61017199
Ryzen 5 is better than i5. No reason to get an i5 at this point. Gaming CPU options are basically G4560, R5 1500X, R5 1600, i7 7700K, with the best options being 1500X or 1600

>>61017214
It's almost the same price as slower RAM. One of the best price/perf benefits you can get

Additional SSD

>>61017742
FX 6350 or 8350 if your mobo supports it

>>61017693

Stop being a faggot, I got you covered.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QzQTgL

>>61017911
Nope.

You can get an RX 560 for about $85 new on NewEgg I believe.

>>61017909
you could be right but this fx4170 is garbage, I regret cheaping out on the cpu but I didnt have much experience at the time, also its on stock fan and its terrible.

>>61017626
>A dual core processor?
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. That Athlon isn't a true 4 core CPU. It's a 2 module / 4 thread CPU, like the G4560. I already posted this video for you (or someone as retarded as you), but fucking pay attention. There's a reason everyone is suggesting the G4560 and the OP builds also have it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-j92ulh108

>>61017965
Then try looking for an upgrade from someone dumping his old CPU and willing to sell it cheap.

Should I wait to get the GTX 1080ti? People say wait for Vega. I have a Ryzen CPU if that matters.

>>61017996
Once you wait for vega people will tell you to wait for the next one. So on so fourth. At some point you just gotta buy it. I went ahead and got the 1080ti myself and will just sell it whenever the next ti comes out.

What would be bottlenecking me with a 1080 Ti?

When people say they over clocked a graphics card to X amount of GHz does that count GPU boost?

I have a 1060 that after a +162 to the core clock it will put out 2152Ghz while gaming but I can tell if thats good or not

>>61018067
Your TI itself assuming you are playing on 1440p144hz

>>61018090
I play at 1440p60Hz

>>61018088
It is the maximum amount of hz that the core clock will climb to.

>>61018100
No bottleneck then. Assuming you have a decent CPU and GPU, you should be able to output 1440p60hz on most games just fine.

>>61018122
I have an i7-2600k running at 4.2 GHz

Convince me not to get an M.2 Samsung 960 evo as a boot drive?

>>61018146
Yeah 1440p@60hz should be no problem with that CPU and GPU combo. You will only run into bottlenecks when you drop resolution to push higher frequency (CPU bottleneck) or push higher frequency in your current resolution (GPU)

>>61018162
Looks like shit to me. I would throw an extra $200 at the pc to get better parts.

>>61018178
Most people here will tell you not too, but for the extra $20 what will it hurt?

>>61018028
Each module is 2 INT cores per 1 FP core. In gaming workloads, the INT cores (marketing lingo to match Intel's marketing lingo but disingenuous) are bottlenecked by the single FP core. Do your fucking homework

>>61017996
If you're at 1440p 144Hz or 4K, just buy it. Any lower res and you're wasting your money

>>61018067
At your res the 1080Ti is unnecessary, aka a waste of money. Kinda like your SLI 780Tis

>>61018162
No it is not, if you're buy fresh. Even if you had an old build with the AM3+ socket you'd be stupid to keep the 4300

SLI is waste of money, but nothing wrong with having a single 1080ti for future proofing. At some point games will become quite demanding at his res.

No, and random sales don't count, because they also happen with the 1050. Cheapest 1050 is about $100 + rocket league (88 with rebate). Cheapest 2GB 2GB! 2GB! RX 560 is 110USD.

You're wrong about performance and price/perf too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSURL-eC-SY

>>61018162
You could do much better for the money with an AM4 board and Ryzen cpu.

>>61018204
For the $1000 I spent for both the 780 Ti's they have served me well the past 3 1/2 years. But unfortunately, 3GB of VRAM is not enough to max many games at 1440p so I must upgrade. A 1080 Ti may be overkill now but I'm confident that it will perform very well for a few years. I'm not one of those people that likes to upgrade every year.

>>61018258
This. But to be honest, there is nothing good coming out in the horizon. But if I had some VR shit, I would get a 1080ti for that AC7 flight experience.

>>61018299
Inshallah brother. You are wasting money buying a full priced OEM.

>>61018299
Your ram is pointless, you can get cheaper and better.

Get the h115i cooler, its better and just as much.

Just get the 1600x if you're gaming.

MSI is a shit company and henry at RMA department should fucking off himself.

Corsair has better cases.

Don't buy windows 10. Just go take a picture of someone's windows vista/7/8 key.

As a potential builder in limbo (thanks, miners), can someone share what is known about Vega?
How good is it going to be? What are the price points? Is there an actual date set for anything?

>>61018202
I've already an 850 evo for my os and some programs. Was thinking I'd use the m.2 for os and select programs and put games and whatever else in the 850.

>>61018356
Nothing is known cause Raja is a piece of shit who told everyone to wait for computex and AMD announced fucking jackshit at computex except showing off a prey demo on Xfire 580 with massive screen tearing and as a finally fuck you it was literally an announcement for an announcement. Vega will be officially announced at the end of July.

>>61018258
>nothing wrong with having a single 1080ti for future proofing
Can't future proof gfx card. CPU maybe, not graphics

>>61018299
No need to get a liquid cooler.
Get faster RAM
Consider 1600 unless you're rendering or something

>>61018307
I'm not going to tell you all the reasons that SLI was a waste of money (VRAM not stacking being one of the worst), but with the 1070 or 1080 you'll have a the card for the same amount of time as the 1080Ti but you'll pay a whole lot less

>>61018292
I have a GTX 1080, i7-6700k with a Corsair H75, and 16GB of DDR3-1866 ram.

Fucking try me, you cotton picking scum.

>>61018363
If you are going to buy another 850 evo regardless, just spend the extra $20 for the 960. Idky buy /g/ keeps insisting 960 is useless for simple stuff but I rather have that performance increase.

>>61018398
>but with the 1070 or 1080 you'll have a the card for the same amount of time as the 1080Ti but you'll pay a whole lot less
Except 1080ti is the only card that hasn't increased in price. Both the 1070 and 1080 are up 10-20% their price from a month ago. So I would say the 1080ti is value in the current climate.

Is there any way to get a rx 500 series card? Or do I have to wait until the crypto jews are done jerking off to altcoins.

>>61018456
rx500 are still available in prebuilts. So you can try get them there or see if you have any hookups that can pull one off for you. Aside from that there is buying overpriced, 2nd hand or waiting for the crypto jew menace to blow over.

>>61018477
I fucking hate these crypto jew faggots. I hope all their gay currency drops to fucking 0.

I'm not even talking about the storage of the ram. I'm talking about the speeds of the ram. He literally has shit ram speeds. I have same speeds.

>>61018763
Depends on what you're looking for. If you want bang for your buck, go red. If you want maximum performance, go green. Nvidia has been mainly building up their high end cards, and AMD has been focusing on their mid range. Just PLEASE, DO NOT buy Gigabyte. I work in a computer repair shop, and I have done several builds as well as RMA liaison work. Gigabyte builds cheap, low quality mobos and gpu's, especially with their cheapest 1070 card. I worked on a system with one, and I had to do a mobo liaison, and the bastards did not even send an IO shield with the replacement card after I had been on hold for about an hour. The cheap 1070 card's PCB was actually bent near the HDMI/DisplayPort ports. The bastards did not even have a backplate on it. For motherboards, buy Asus or AsRock. Don't buy any other types. For cards, buy EVGA, MSI, or Asus Strix.

That's plain false, Ryzen and Kaby-Lake can boot and use W7 just as well as other CPU architectures.

Literally the only thing you have to do is to run a github script/some registry tweaks to re-enable windows updates, which are being blocked by kikerosoft on all win7 ryzen machines

Personally i hope this method also works when you restore a sysprepped windows 7 macrium image on a ryzen machine because otherwise i'd have to re-install all that crap all over again heh

>>61019426
not really the same, but i have my 1600 at 3.78ghz 1.3v on a h60 with an arctic f12 fan. idles at 35, tops out at ~65, which was better than my tc-12dx 120mm cooler.

>>61019428
First time turning it on, first build too, nothing turns on yet, how'd you do it Anon?

>>61019426
Maybe an AIO? Depends on your case, but if you need a low profile cooler, they are usually the best option after the stock one. And you can Oc to 4-4.1 at sub 60 temps.

Reminder that this particular OP is a blatant shill.

>>61019471
I'm not home at the moment.

Did you try shorting any of the "on" pins with a screwdriver? And check every connection.

Do the fans spin or just nothing goes on?
There is a retaded numer for "ground pins" on the on-reset-hddlight pin headers, just get them right should work

what are motherboard chipsets
what do I need to know to make educated buying decisions

>>61019490
Reminder that your brain is meme-addled

>>61019500
Google "Ryzen chipset differences" or for Intel "B250 Z270 chipset differences"
You'll get a better answer.
You probably want a B350 for a Ryzen 5 CPU

>>61019234
No

>>61019500
Chipsets are the "motherboard core" and are the secondary processor that handkes all the I/O, PCIe, RAM and such and are the interface between the cpu and the rest of the hardware.

>>61019428
No I haven't tried shorting any of the pins , I don't even know what that means to be honest, and yes I checked all the connections

>>61019235
Looks good, except I'd get a 240GB SSD

>>61019628
so I want a higher quality one like I'd want a higher quality cpu?
or could you get by with cheaper ones comboed with nice cpus?
does it just depend on what you want plugged in like pcie x16 3.0 or usb?

>>61019669
different chipset offer different features (pcie lanes, overclocking, M.2, etc etc), you pick chipset based on the features you want

>>61019100
I can't see clear from here, is your RAM clicked in all the way?

I want to build a computer. Can't find a graphics card in stock anywhere.

Do I just wait?

What's good thermal paste? Getting a H7 on my 1600.

>>61019960
Yes

>>61019960
Alternatively buy nvidia card

Yes it is, should I move it location? I took out one, the fans or nothing turn on though

>>61020019
Nah it just looked like two of them in the previous picture and one of the tabs on top was in different position.
PSU fan should still start spinning when you turn on the motherboard if RAM is not inserted.

Try disconnecting PSU from motherboard and connect pin with the green wire to any black wire on the large connector. See if PSU starts.

>>61019360
Oh never mind this then >>61020060 and if pulling power button doesn't turn stuff on just replace motherboard.

>inb4 no standoffs meme

>>61020060
Yes it was two I took one out though, I can take the other one out too, but I'll see if the PSU starts , I had that one that came with the tsting tool and it worked fine though

>>61020109
Replace motherboard? anyway I can be sure before I have to send it in? Like last attempt?

>>61020130
It's ok. You can save a few bucks by getting the 1600.
Also get faster RAM (3000/3200MHz) that's compatible with the mobo

>>61020145
I would re-read the part of manual that talks about connection the the case front panel, especially the part about where power button is.
No, really, if you press it the board should start up the power supply, if it doesn't something is wrong with it.
Particularly in your case make sure that the connector is not on power and reset pins, but rather on power pin and ground.

>>61020297
Cool, thanks

>>61020319
Actually never mind, that's impossible.
Asrock literally made this impossible, no matter how you arrange the connectors on their header it will work.

So I posted yesterday about having issues with my new psu. I originally thought that I plugged in the wrong cables at it smelled kinda burnt when trying to star the computer. I have now redone it and I have identified that the issue is the cable going from the psu to all my ssd's and hdd's. I originally just kept the cable from my older psu as I didn't think this was a problem. I tried to plug it into the only peripheral and SATA slot that it could fit into as this one got the half circle pins and I only have one slot for that apparently. Pic related.
I'm thinking that I should just grab a new cable and try again as the computer won't start while it's plugged in atm for some reason.
Any tips or ideas?

>>61020421
you just fucked up everything that was connected using the older cables

you should never reuse modular cables from another psu

>>61020331
I think it's my mother board plug could that be it?

>>61020446
Well I wish I knew that earlier. Everything seems to work when I don't have the hardisk cable plugged in tho.

Looking to upgrade my pc. I'm a frugal jew so I'm not doing a complete upgrade.

I've been rocking an 8320 for a few years now and still no overclocking. I'd like to get something more energy efficient and I'm actually considering Ryzen now. I considered Intel many months ago, even a Xeon. Now, Ryzen is priced sweetly.

So I'm looking at a 1700 since it's apparently runs at 65W. I'm really just a casual user most of the time but occasionally I do hobby stuff like edit media(video, audio, pictures) and I like that shit to go fast. Since I've gone full time to Linux I don't game much anymore. I'd like to run Windows in a VM to get some programs I bought running again(Ableton and Lightroom).

Mostly just going to upgrade:
>CPU
>Mobo
>RAM

Other than that I have an SSD, three HDDs a case. a PSU and a GPU and a cooler, though I might go for an AIO water cooler maybe. Which AM4 boards are worth getting? I'd like to get at least 32GB of RAM and a PS2 port.


Extra bonus question:
I heard Ryzen is working in a few Hackintosh builds, would getting Ryzen really be worth it if I could go that route and ditch Windows forever?

>>61017883
I got to 4GHz with 1.4V. That said I live in a 100 year old house and it's cold as fuck. No temp issues.

Hey working towards a mini itx build and I already have an lga 1150 chip so I'm limited to these options.

Could you guys help me choose which might be the best option?

im about to buy a 4790k for 200 bucks. should i just flip it and put the money towards a r5 build? or would it be better just to pick up a used mobo for like 50 bucks and stick with that. id be in like 250 total for the 4790k (bringing ram over) whereas the best I can do for a r5 1600 build is like 350 with ram assuming i get the mad deal at microcenter and a b350 board. (i need 16gb and I'd really rather not go with a 1500x) either way i kinda get screwed with pcie since i really do kinda need more lanes than they both offer
what do /g/?

I guess this is the most relevant thread to ask this in. I've had my monitor for a year, and this what looks like water damage appeared on the bottom out of nowhere. Its stretches across the whole bottom, but it has different heights. It sort of looks like waves. I didn't move the monitor or touch it all recently. Any idea what could have caused it and if I can fix it myself? Or should I just go straight to using the warranty?

If only I had the space

I'll be finishing two more builds with 1080tis (mostly) then looking at offices

Fuck the gaymers buying 1070s, getting your proletariat hands off my cards

>>61020764
Oh, idk if this is relevant, but it's also most noticeable on dark colors. It's barely visible when the screen is white. It's most noticeable when the screen is black.

>>61020764

Never seen that before, I'd use the warranty

>>61020446
>>61020485
My disks seems indeed to be dead shells now. Not the biggest loss, but it still sucks ofc. I suppose I can't do anything to fix them. Everything else seems fine in bios. I think atleast...

Any problems when using H110 mobo with a g4560?

File: 20170621_003823.png (252KB, 1200x1142px) Image search: [Google]

252KB, 1200x1142px

What cpu should i get instead of the one in the pic

>>61021152
You need Kaby Lake -compatible bios to run g4560. So if your h110 comes with older bios version then it won't boot. If that happens then you most likely need a skylake CPU to update the bios.

Currently building
I5-6600k
8gb ram
Asus z170
500 watt psu
Arctic stock cooler
80gb ssd
And I'm going to get a 1tb hhd
I wanna get a gtx 1070 but bc of money it may take me a while. Should I go for 1060 instead or get a cheap 1050/1050ti and save up?

I applied an overclock to my R7 1700 (3.7GHz @ 1.275v) but cpu-z and master ryzen are not showing the right voltage even under full load, how come?
I did it through the asus prime b350m-a, voltage is a 0.0875 offset. CPU-Z shows 1.181 and Ryzen Master shows 1.1875 (stock voltage). Rebooting into the bios shows the right voltage. Applying an overclock through Ryzen Master also doesn't show the voltage shown by CPU-Z (even when changing both frequency and voltage, and restarting CPU-Z)
The frequency however is right accross all of the softwares.
Is there anything wrong right there? Is it just the readings that are wrong? Running a few seconds of prime95 didn't seem to give any instabilities even though it should for 3.7 at stock voltages

>>61021436
Get Ryzen but if for whatever reason you are a sick piece of shit and want to support intel at least get the latest mobo which is a z270.

why is after all this time still no support for ram speed >2666 on ryzen boards?

get a better board

>>61021436
A 1050 or 1050ti is enough for 1080p or even 1440p if you're ok with lower settings. I'd definitely go with a cheap GPU and wait until Volta and Vega are out to get a good GPU.

>>61021475
that's not 3200

>>61021472
RMA the RAM
You already figured out the issue.

What would be a logical upgrade to this? Seeing as i'll be earning money soon.

Thinking about maybe just saving up and building something entirely new though.

>>61017944
wait for R3 wtf is that cpu

>>61021436
>Currently building I5-6600k
please don't

>>61021568
Then get the Z270 over the Z170 moron.

>>61021582
A new GPU

>>61021553
Each of the sticks work individually. If i try to use both of them, no post.

>>61021582
Your CPU is way too recent to justify an upgrade unless you've started doing really CPU intensive tasks recently.
Get a new GPU and screen maybe? And a bigger SSD

>>61021641
Are they the same model and brand?
Are they from the same kit?

any improvements to this?

How is Ryzen looking for GPU passthrough? thinking of converting my 4790 rig to a home server and using my older GPU on host when Vega releases.

>>61021660
Yes. Same kit.
8x2 3000mhz corsair vengeance LPX.

>>61021676
Make sure your mobo can support 3000mhz RAM. You know 3000mhz RAM are overclocked right? The standard is 2133 mhz.

>>61022156
Get faster RAM, a bigger SSD, and an aftermarket cooler if you're overclocking
Avoid MSI mobo for Ryzen

>>61021664
Too expensive

>>61021582
i7 4770K
RX 570 / 580
240GB SSD
+4GB RAM
