Is mixing monitors with different refresh rates painful on the eye?

the 27" ones would be 144Hz and the 21.5 ones would be 60Hz

Repoastan form last bredd b4 it 404'd

Im looking at 2 Asus Strix jeetee-ex 1080's.
one says
>8gb $579
the other
>8gb-11gbps $629
is there a difference in performance here? why is one higher priced than the other and of what significance is the 11 gbps?

Intent to run games at high, preferably Nier and PubG.

Worries are, will the GPU fit? I had to break part of my last case so the GPU would fit.
Will the Heatsink fit?
Suggest a better case with a budget of £160, if its glowy I'd rather it be blue.
Will Win7 run on an i7 or do I need Win10?

>>61481160
>Is mixing monitors with different refresh rates painful on the eye?
The card should default to the lowest refresh rate of the monitors you plug in

>>61481240
the 11gbps version has higher clocks

>>61481234
Have patience, the Profit per day is already down to 1.60. just a little more, and miners will start dumping their stock.

>>61481254
what if I plug in the two 144Hz on the main gpu and get a really weak gpu for the other two (also not running them in crossfire/sli of course)

will that extra mhz make a difference? how much will 11 gbps also help? built a new pc and looking for a graphics card but want to know if the extra hunnerd is worth the moneys

>>61481261
Quit parroting this meme, they don't care about profit per day and are mining for future stake.

There is no mythical GPU selloff

The only way this can be fixed is a massive influx of stock.

Those selling off are doing it in lots or trying to RMA cards for new or refreshed ones to sell above MSRP.

>>61481275
>$600
I'm a poorfag. That costs more than my entire computer.

>>61481254
I didn't know this was a thing.
Can it be overwritten?
I can't operate without two screens, I was intending to get a new 144hz but my current ones are 60hz

>>61481283
the differences are really small between the cards, I suggest you get the cheaper one unless you need to scrape every last drop of performance

>>61481246
Retard huge ATX cases have basically zero size restrictions. You might need to unscrew a drive cage at worse.

>>61481271

I have no idea. All i know is that when I plugged in my 144hz DVI monitor, it defaulted to 60hz

Hopefully mining-repurposed GPUs with no video output will put an end to these prices.

>>61481310
They will work.
I have 240Hz monitor and a 60Hz monitor and they work at their native refresh rates. Just make sure you select the higher refresh rate for the main monitor manually.

HiI'm not building a computer just buying one because I'm a noob. My computer is very old and shutting down very quickly. so I'm under short notice. I was wondering if any of you guys knew of any places to buy a good computer. I have about 1k to spend, and the sooner I can get it delivered the better. Also, is 16gb ram important for gaming or is 8gb ram just fine?

I have a i7-7700 that goes up to 80 degrees on load with a Hyper 212 evo. I can't overclock it and getting a new cooler to lower temperatures gives me no benefits since the fan on max RPM is still silent to me. I am just wondering is 80 degrees safe operating temperatures? I know intel states anything below 100 is okay but is running my CPU at 80 for long duration of time (4-5 hours) okay?

>>61481275
1080 and 1080 Ti prices are starting to rise too.

>>61481829
Amazon delivers the fastest if you have prime but they are slightly more important. 16gb is key nowadays.

Is it safe to use a 20-pin PSU with a 24-pin motherboard?

>kaby lake for 144hz
Is this only for 1080? I mostly play at 1440p nowadays and I'm planning on getting a 27" 1440p144hzmonitor sometime this Fall, after build a new PC. Since higher resolutions stress the GPU more than could should be fine with a R7 1700 right? Gaymen isn't my primary objective, I want moar corez for rendering

>>61481912
get the cheapest 16gb kit and a seasonic focus+ psu

corsair psus are overpriced

>>61481941
CPUs not good enough for gaymen

we need to Wait™

Brother had to get a cheap new computer, his old motherboard died. He had an Athlon II X3 460 and 4GB DDR2 ram with a Radeon HD 4450 (maybe? it was the 4000 series.)

He bought a FX-8350, a Gigabyte board (GA-78LMT-USB3) and a Kingston A400 SSD ($238.83). He has our others brother's old Kingston 8GB Blu DDR3 ram, my old Radeon HD 6670 and 550w Raidmax PSU.

So, now he wants to upgrade the GPU, and I also want him to get a non-stock heatsink. He wants to spend <$150, so I figure a RX 560 (GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD is only $109) and for the heatsink, "ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2" which is on sale for $32. He has a Fractal Design Core 1000 so cooler height is an issue.

Thoughts on those two component upgrades? I think it'll be really nice, and it comes in at $141.98.

>>61481433
I have an rx 480 and can confirm that mixed refresh rates work, with the caveat that when the slower monitor becomes the focal point it will cause the faster monitor to de-sync. I've only noticed it during media viewing using SVP for 120fps video, and blur busters UFO test. The UFO test is actually where I figured out about it initially.

If logged into BestBuy account, the sale price is $830. Very reasonable deal.

>>61481969
you can get a whole used pc for $141.98 with rx 560

how accurate is the wattage calculator on pcpp and how much will it go up with overclocking?

>>61482031
Reasonably accurate. You should always have some amount of margin in the PSU anyway.
It depends on the part OC'ed.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KC3w2R

Is the 1080 worth it? I just want to be sure that the monitor will run at 144hz. Also is the i7 worth getting? I hear the hyper threading is overrated. Trying to stay under $1600 but willing to go over $1500

So I just upgraded from 2500k to Ryzen 1700. I promise this isn't a shill post, but just adding my personal 2 cents and asking a small question.

My fps remains completely unchanged in games, as expected. Performance is almost identical, on paper at least. The difference is that everything just "feels" smoother.

This isn't wishful thinking, either. In Witcher 3 for example, in the middle of Beauclair at 1440p mostly ultra settings with gtx 970, I got 49-58 fps before and get basically the exact same fps now. However, I now get zero stuttering whatsoever. The 45 fps feels like 60 used to, and 60 feels smoother than ever.

Is this because of more cores and hyperthreading?

>>61481944
The cheapest 16gb kits have large heatsinks tacked ontop of them (Ripjaw series stuff).

The corsair sticks I selected are the only low-profile sticks I see for that price range. I need them to be low profile because I intended to mount the CPU radiator to the top of the case and need the clearance. Front radiator mounting is not possible because of the the ~300mm card.

Good call on the PSU, although I had bad experiences with Seasonic. EVGA has a PSU that is cheaper than the corsair, however. So I selected that.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BwTMtJ

>>61482092
Yes.
No but if all you do is gaming, then probably.

>>61481969
Are you sure the FX chip will properly work in that motherboard? IIRC, it required a 990 FX chipset.

>>61482105
Ryzen is known for having higher minimum frames. This is shown in many benchmarks which is why it is "smoother". Frame pacing is better.

>>61481419
Not the founders edition... bad cooling system... better any with ACX cooling system...

>>61482117
Yes, I checked the CPU compatibility list before purchase. I already built the computer and everything works fine, except the 6670 which has a bad fan that makes a lot of noise.

...I should check for a BIOS update next time I'm over, though.

>>61482105
Likely better frame times are less minimum frames/higher minimum frames. Do you feel the upgrade was worth it? It sounds worth it, as your gaming experience sounds better.

>>61482092
Would recommend either i7 or the R5 1600 over the i5.
At today's prices, the 1080 seems reasonable. It's not like you have other choices.

>>61481871
Anyone?

>>61481342
>nicehash

Fuck off and do your own research instead of spouting off nonsense

>>61482092
You can get a WD Black SSD for the same price as an 850 EVO. No point in going SATA if NVME is the same price.

>>61481871
yep it's fine, just don't go over +85 for long periods.
you can also undervolt which helps reducing temps

>>61482193
Can you undervolt on a locked processor?
I have no idea. Anyway thanks. I was about to order a Noctua but I guess a 212 will suffice till my PC starts melting I guess.

>>61482142
ah. an RX560 will be fine then. It's an entry level Graphics card.

>>61482225
yes you can if your motherboard allows you changing the voltages

>>61482105
Probably due to having higher frequency ram. I'm still on the z97 platform but upgrading my ram from 8gb 1600 to 16gb 2133 makes my frametimes fluctuate way less even at fps lower than 60. I didn't change anything else and I actuslly rescued my cpu OC by 100mhz but it still felt smoother so it's the ram which made the different imo.

>>61482252
>rescued

Meant to say reduced.

>>61482242
Only certain chipsets right? I have a H270 board.

What's a good GPU in the $450-500 range?

>>61482240
Yeah, it'll be a pretty good upgrade from the 6670 as well. Also no more horrible fan noise. I'm wondering about the cooler for the most part, but it seems really nice.

My brother doesn't play many games, mostly RS3 and a few others, if the 6670 can manage 50-60 FPS, I'm sure the RX 560 will pull more. He'll be more than happy. He already enjoys the CPU/SSD upgrade. His old HDD was so slow, iirc the boot times were 2 minutes with his old CPU.

If not, stick to the RMx.

>>61482386
That's the price I paid for my Zotac AMP! 1080 like 9 months ago. Why the hell is it that price still? Are miners affecting the 1080 prices as well?

>>61482386
Apparently the shroud for the Gigabyte windforce is flimsy as fuck. Shouldn't matter overall.

>>61482386
not an awful price, but i would have waited to see how vega compares.

>>61482419
Aside from the atrocious design, it's not too bad I guess. Could've been like $200 cheaper if you built it yourself.

But anyway, the first thing you should do is invest in an SSD, and replace those peripherals ASAP.

>>61481419
Never get Founders Edition cards if you can help it. They have bad temps, are loud, and don't OC well. You're better off getting a name brand 1070. For example: http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?2429376_g10e

Though you're better off doing your own research.

>>61482420

Not directly, but it's causing impatient people like me to buy 1080s instead (which is incredibly overkill for the shit I'll be doing)
>>61482422
Shroud? What piece are you referring to?

Shroud is the thing that encases the fans on top of the heat sink

Suppose I should mention there are good1070s sitting around $400 as well.

>>61482470
SSD
Solid state drive. Just get one, seriously. It makes boot-up times much faster, and the difference is like night and day.

Peripherals are things like your mouse and keyboard. I'm almost 10000% certain that the ones iBuyPower gives you is complete garbage, so just invest in other quality peripherals.
>casing was pretty decent
Not a fan, personally. Reeks of gaming aesthetic.

>>61482431
AMDs marketing suggests its pulling at about a 1080 or above but like way less efficient.

They are demoing closed systems and marketing them as "one of these has Vega+freesync, the other a 1080 and gsync", and the vega system is 300$ less.

Being that they are doing a cost per package thing Vega will likely be 50$ cheaper.

I fell for the SSD meme, /g/ ... should I go back to HDD? I heard SSD will just stop working after some time.

>>61481246
no one ever comments on my stuff, I guess my build is good.

>>61482493

Oh, right, I remember someone mentioning that recently. Maybe a Gamers Nexus video.

>>61482419
I agree with >>61482493 , it doesn't really seem worth it for the price. You could have definitely put together better parts and peripherals for about the same price.
>>61482520
Well, mechanical keyboards are nice. You'll never want a rubberdome keyboard afterwards.
Cases are, but to be honest you should cancel the order if it hasn't shipped yet. This thread can help you put together a better computer for likely around the same price. :\

>>61482513
SSDs aren't a meme, and they only die or turn read-only after like 10+ years of use.

>>61482520
Keyboard? Look up mechanical switches and the differences between them. They all feel differently, so I recommend going to a tech store or Bestbuy to test different switches (Cherry reds, blues, browns, etc.)
It's important if you're into competitive gaming. If not, I still think a nice keyboard is a great quality of life item to have, regardless of what it might be used for.

Realistically I wish they'd just offer an R5 1600 with an RX 580 8GB. However this seems to be the next best thing, I'd probably get a Noctua cooler to go with it, which obviously just adds to cost over a 1700 or 1600 which come with a nice stock cooler...

ty. In year or so i'll be back, to turn the computer into a monster.

>>61482641
The 7700k has been reported to have more stuttering in games. Like, random or consistent frame drops compared to the 1600/1700, and lower minimum frame rates.

Everything else looks decent, though. Not too sure about the case, I've always hated CM cases but if you like it, that's all that matters.

Maybe color match the RAM, so... black LPX.

>>61482605
ehh if i wanted sata speeds i'd just get a sata drive. Kinda deadset on the evo.

>>61482673
Just curious, but why do you need a computer so soon? Unless you're doing heavy work, you're probably better off renting or buying a cheap Chromebook and then save the funds on that monster, god-tier desktop in the future.

>>61482682
what would you suggest other than the 7700k?

>>61482655
you can get a decent oc with the spire, i wouldn't bother with another cooler. 3000-3200mhz for ram.

Stick with whatever you get with your processor and just wait to get a decent air cooler and skip AIOs unless you care that much about looks

>>61482874
7700k is your only bet then. At 5ghz you should be able to achieve that frame rate. People here are trying to scare you off buying it because they simply hate Intel but looking at it from a logical POV, It's your only option and it's probably the only Intel cpu worth buying aside from the Pentium. They wouldn't like to admit that though.

Like I said though, anything else e.g. 4k60 gaming, then anything ryzen should do.

My case has two USB 3.0 ports at the front but I haven't got a 19-pin port on my mobo, which it requires, though there are two USB 2.0 headers. If I got something like pic related, would it work for both front USB ports or only one? Is there an adapter with two usb 2.0 headers?

i can spend 30 bucks now to give my box another 3 years of life and i only use for videos/shitposting

So I need a Ryzen CPU for work(applications that benefit greatly from multithreaded CPU), and I just need some graphics to turn on the fucking computer. What GPU?

>>61483061
A cheap 2nd hand one or 1050

Maybe look into some aftermarket fans to replace the stock corsair fans, they can get kinda loud. Other than that it looks good. Ncase is a really nice chassis. Post in a /guts/ thread when you're done building.

What kind of gaming performance can expect out of a G4560 and a RX 560? Would it be able to play AAAs at a reasonable frame rate on medium settings?

>>61483579
If you're willing to try and get a stable OC on a R7 1700, that'd drop the price for the same performance. OCing isn't for everyone, so disregard this if you don't want to do it.

Maybe try the NZXT Kraken X42 rather than the Corsair H60. I've had to RMA my H100i v2 twice. The X42 meets the width requirement coming in at 52mm, case requires <=60mm.

That ram isn't on that motherboard's QVL, my friend had issues with his ram with Ryzen. Could potentially be an issue as well, although unlikely.

That motherboard also has an M.2 nVME drive slot on the back, why not get a nVME drive instead?

Will that powersupply work in that case..? I'm not entirely sure.

Get a 1050. Doesn't require a power connector and has a decent amount of overclocking headroom even without the power connector. Runs much cooler too.

R7 1700 stock with stock cooler in a Fractal Core 1100 with the default fan. Running Prime95 small FFTs, Ryzen Master is reporting an average of 67C after about an hour of running it.

I'm not particularly concerned about price, and would rather just pay for the 1800x rather than mess with an overclock.

Thanks for the tip on the CPU cooler, I was somewhat skeptical of it. Will have to check specs on the NZXT.

With respect to memory, I saw it's not on the QVL, but none of the 16gb modules >3000MHz are on the QVL and I'll require 32gb of memory. My rationale is that I'll get it off Amazon and just return it if it doesn't work well.

Re: powersupply, I opted for the 600W version as I didn't feel 20W of overhead was sufficient, but this is my first-ever build, so if I'm wrong please do correct me.

>>61483736
Will do. Since you seconded above anon I'll definitely check on other coolers, although I'm set on an AIO.

the old computer doesnt even recognize the hdd either. when i tried to flash it it said "there are no any existing drives"

How much of an improvement is there when upgrading from a 1080p monitor to a 4K monitor when both the old and new monitors are the same size? In this case it would be upgrading from a 22 inch screen to a 23 inch screen.

>>61483899
Makes sense.

Ya, though I've learned recently the CAM software collects a lot of data on its users, so that's something to note about NZXT. I've just had a bad experience with Corsair CLCs, so... If it was any other computer case, I'd firmly suggest a proper air cooler.

Ya I had trouble finding a kit for my friend, good luck on that one man.

Any word on the sata vs nVME drive situation?

Do you mean you downgraded to 600W instead of 800W? If so, 600W should be plenty of power even at 100% load. Especially if it shares the same performance as the 800W (Titanium).

So I got a relatively expensive, and supposedly high end dell ultrasharp monitor (U2417H to be precise) and it has very noticeable and annoying color banding, as if it's an old budget monitor or something. Is there a possibility something else in the computer might be causing it? I've swapped out both the GPU and the cable used, I can't think of anything else it could be. Should I just try get a replacement?

>>61483967
For the nVME my understanding is that heating may be an issue with the ncase layout. My system boots in 3.5s off a fairly old SSD as is, so I'm not sure I'll see a tangible improvement as I don't really have any issues in disk latency. Although I use less than half of my 240gb as-is due to an external raid array so the only concern is cooling I guess.

Re: PSU, I guess you saw my previous post. I did have the 800w before -- the 20w overhead was in reference to potentially getting a 450w PSU.

>>61484152
Get the R7 1700, spend the difference on some 3200 RAM, and overclock both.

>>61484060
Ya that's true, especially so with your case choice. Disregard an nVME drive in this case.

Ah, makes more sense now. I didn't look at the picture, only checked the link. Are you stick to Silverstone for your PSU? Like the ST45SF-G?

I just plugged my new pc in for the first time and I heard a frying noise and saw smoke and smelled electronics burning. I quickly unplugged it and disconnected everything, but I'm really worried I might have permanently damaged the motherboard or other components. I had a 20-pin PSU connected to an 24-pin motherboard but now I've switched and connected a 24 pin PSU. I'm not sure what step I should take next. Should I turn the PC on again or do something else? I'm sick thinking I've fried the mobo. It's this one: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-TLN4F.cfm

i'm new at building computers. I'm not asking for a spoonfeed but about how much would it cost to run games like Destiny 2 or Total Warhammer 2 at 1080/60FPS on mostly decent to high settings? I'm looking to keep things at or around $1k but I don't know where to start. I know graphics card prices are kinda fucked right now though.

I'm thinking a definite no on the Silverstone PSU, as I was reading lots of really poor reviews on Newegg. Most people saying they had to replace within 4 months to 2 years, and a significant number saying they had it for less than 2 weeks before it died. I actually got the Corsair PSU listed in the build last night on Amazon and it showed up on my doorstep earlier today (free 1 day shipping, why not). After checking it out I like the build quality. It has much better reviews as well, so I think I'll stick with it. Corsair SF600, pic related.

>>61484219
I would test the PSU separately since I'm assuming that is there the smoking and burning occurred. Hopefully it was isolated to it but usually the wires that arced will burn/melt their casing and glue themselves to whatever they're touching. If your components are new then you can probably still return whatever is busted.

Saw this thread and got on specifically to mention something about the Intel G4600 Pentium processor.

I'm a technician for ASRock. Do not buy this fucking processor if you are intending to use Windows 7 or 8 with it. Intel's Kaby Lake processors will lock out our USB inputs, forcing you to use PS/2 keyboard to navigate a Windows 7 installation for instance.

We have a beta VGA driver that has not been rolled out yet. If you would like access to it and you purchase one of our motherboards, just ask.

I was swamped with complaints that it was our fucking boards and unfortunately, (((Intel))) wants the goyim on Wangblowz 10. Just get Ryzen.

Full documentation on our website. Only posting this because the G4600 is honestly a great little processor but I, like many of you, don't want to use Windows 10. Selling this POS as soon as I can.

who are the geniuses clearing out shelves when they can just buy the dip

>>61484219
Did that mobo cost you $800?

>>61484309
Just checked Jonny Guru, apparently the Silverstone units use really bad caps. That's explain the poor reviews.

He found nothing of issue with the Corsair PSU. I personally have a HX850i and I have had no issues with it.

>>61484288
Destiny 2 doesn't even have minimum requirements posted yet so we don't know for sure what is required. Total Warhammer only needs something like a GTX 1060 to hit 60fps at 1080p. Given your budget I would recommend a Ryzen 5 1600 build with at least a boot/application SSD, 2-4TB HDD for media/games, 8-16GB RAM, and around a 500-600W PSU.

The GPU market is still supply-starved so the prices are unreasonable for most gamers. You can opt for a 1050 Ti in the short term and try to get a GTX 1060 later on. You could also consider Vega when it releases and we have some data on its performance and price.

I hope it was the power supply and not anything else. It is a really old one, an Enermaz EG365P-VE that hasn't even got active PFC. The burnt smell does seem to be coming from it. How would I test the PSU separately?

>>61484355
$569.80 with taxes, from Amazon.

>>61484083
Just overclock that i5. If you're just gaming you don't need anything more than that. Ryzen would be for production tasks and the 7700k would be for high fps. If you're playing at 60hz 1080p/1440p then the i5 is fine.

>>61484406
I think it would but only by a small margin. If you have a working 760 just stick with that until you can get a better GPU for a reasonable price.

>>61484360
Cool. I'll stick with this one.

Any thoughts on the card? I definitely want a hybrid one and I'll be running 3x1440p monitors soon. I am for sure going to wait until the RX Vega comes out and compare against a 1080ti, but my understanding is that it's expected to decisively underperform the latter. On the other hand I don't necessarily /need/ that kind of graphics performance as I'm not a super heavy gamer, but I am seriously considering a VR setup soon...

>>61484401
Turn the PSU off with the button in the back. Take the 24pin cable and insert a paper clip or other metal object into the green wire hole and adjacent black wire hole.
Turn the PSU on. This will cause a short and turn it on, which should start the fan.

If anything else happens, like more burning smell, a cap is probably cooking. Turn it off and throw it away.

>>61484401
You'll need a digital multimeter and a paper clip to short the ground and green ATX wire on the PSU's motherboard connector. You can also get separate power supply testers that just plug into the various connections on the PSU.

Okay. I guess I should post my current specs for a gauge at least

I5 2400 (3.10 quad core, 4 threads)
8 GB ram
GTX 760

Is the Ryzen better than the I5? I know it has 12 threads and 6 cores, but i guess i'd need to research the improvements personally.

>>61484451
EVGA cards usually perform well, so there isn't a reason to be skeptical of the hybrid card. You mentioned money isn't an issue, so I'd recommend just stick to the 1080ti. Who knows, you might get more into gaming (or VR as you mentioned.) Look up some videos on it, maybe Gamers Nexus tested it; I'm sure someone has, at least.

You'll want the extra power. I have a 1080 and still wish it were faster.

>>61484457
>>61484484
I just tried this with the Enermax and nothing happens, no fan or anything. Must have died. Tried the same thing with a BFG PSU and the fan turned on. So it should be safe to connect the BFG to the motherboard and turn on the PC, right?

>>61484343

The Ryzen 5 1600 comes with a decent cooler. You can get a better one if you want to OC more but otherwise you really don't require one. The stock one is pretty quiet and effective at stock and even a small OC.

>>61484653

>>61484521
Just with Kaby Lake and newer. It can be the same socket and be fine though. I jumped ship recently with Ryzen, a lot of the guys around the office were pissed when we got the news from Intel, and by news I mean "Hey guys, there are about fifty customers calling complaining about the motherboards not working with these processors". Intel then casually informs us, and I mean laughingly telling us this, that they should just update to Windows 10.

I'm going to use it for now but I'm selling this motherfucker asap. I recommend using older Intel for now. Intel is under a lot of pressure (Nvidia working on their processor, AMD really holding the money market). They are making their money with contracts and branding.

Linux though works fine, though, as far as I can tell. We tested Ubuntu MATE, Mint, Xubuntu, and Manjaro and didn't have issues.

For obvious spying reasons, and it is very unstable/full of bloat. 7 is much more manageable.

They push 10 because people will sync most of their info up to it, which is sold to data agencies (insurance agencies, advertisers, etc).

7 allows you to protect yourself a bit more. Not much but it helps. Plus, windows classic interface.

The company (along with MSI and ASUS) are looking to heavily back Nvidia when they come out with theirs. It's why Nvidia and AMD have formed a tighter mutual relationship.

Why 1500X instead of a 1600? Saves you buying a cooler since the stock is good enough for OC. Replace that Toshiba with a cheaper WD 1TB caviar blue. Grab an SSD for OS and favorite games while at it.

>I'm a technician for ASRock. Do not buy this fucking processor if you are intending to use Windows 7 or 8 with it
Can still install 7 on it. See pic.
There was an MSI tool that let you slipstream Intel USB 3.0 drivers on any brand motherboard.

Link to tool?

Genuinely curious, we share a lot with MSI and can't officially recommend customers use that but it would be great to work in until we roll out our beta driver.

Company BS aside, we have a lot of freedom and genuinely like the lower end builds; It's a nice processor and if there is a clear work around I'd like to get it out there.

>>61481121
Is a 550W power supply enough for a 1600X + either a 1080 or a low end vega?

>>61485398
Why did AssCock EoL a 4 month old board?

>>61485445
We don't know how much power Vega draws yet. If it is anything like the Fury X or 290x, I would recommend a 650W PSU at least.

>>61485321
if you're gonna spend 4k on your build at least get a 1080ti or a titan
>>61485404
you're literally paying only $20 more for another 2 cores, why not? Anon's original build had a 60hz 1440p panel and if he doesn't want an ssd then that's fine.

>>61485466
im him and I just noticed the minor price difference and I didnt notice the monitor hz i picked. But why get an ssd? what advantages does it give?

>>61485489
sanic

>>61485447
me monkey, me work

It's a great board still. We tend to support the boards for as long as they're selling the processors at mainstream locations.

>>61485512
Except when people buy an AM4 board they expect support till 2020. AssCock literally fucked everyone who got their boards over by EoL and saying while Ryzen will be supported. Ryzen 2 onwards won't.

>>61485398
It's from Skylake era, so one generation behind.
http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/Smart_Tool.zip
I believe it allows you to make a USB install of windows 7 without fucking up on the usb 3.0 drivers.

>>61485489
everything will feel faster and much more responsive. I'd say if you're gonna spend this much on a build then it couldn't hurt to invest in an ssd, but it's ultimately your call.

>>61485404
It's because of the way Ryzen is built. On a R5 1500/X, two cores each on two chips are disabled. However, with the 1600/X you only have one core for each disabled, hence the six core.
Also the 1600 is more future-proof since AMD has a grip on the console market.

kek, which board was this?

>>61485531
Ah. Thanks for the link, friend.

>>61485526
Support will definitely be there. You may not have warranty support but we're still offering support for AM2 boards. If you buy it and have a receipt, we'll help you the best we can. Not here to shill the company I work for, but ASRock USA is definitely doing it. If you live in United Cuckdoms you may be fucked.

>>61485613
Asrock Gaming K4 X370. And it isn't even a cheap one either. X370 is a high end board.

>>61485622
>Support will definitely be there
Official statement on reddit says otherwise.

So i'm fairly inexperienced to PC building. This is the list I've put together for now, very much subject to change as I don't plan on buying anything until big sales happen (black friday or something similar).

Budget is under 2k.

Thoughts/constructive criticism?

>>61485648
>why would you do this
Cause there is an official PR/Tech rep for AsRock that replies there? Where else am I going to get my information? From an anon who can or cannot confirm he is an AsRock tech?

What cheapo GPU should I get to use in the meantime whie waiting for prices to come down before I buy a decent one?

Something under a hundy.

>>61485656
>32gb
You don't need that much. 16gb will do. Personally I'd go for EVGA PSU for the warranty, and I like NZXT is better overall when it comes to cases. s340 and H440 are great.

>>61485667
There's more of these corporate faggots lurking than you think.
I guess you missed the boat on Windows 10 when we actually had a low level engineer on here memeing about LTSB and LTSB N during the first two months of Windows 10 back in 2015. He even wrote a shitty powershell script on de-botnetting it.
How do you think LTSB gained so much traction on /g/? It's partly because of that engineer you know.

>>61485686
Something second hand

>>61485656
>Corsair RMx
More like Corsair RMA. Fuck their power supplies.

>>61485693
And? Because of the nature of this board, you can be anyone you say you are. Just cause corporate people lurk here doesn't mean shit unless they confirm who they say they are. Like I said. Reddit has an official and confirmed tech rep for Asrock. You say you are but cannot confirm it. How is it hard to see who I should believe in.

What's that plebeian pack of 4 dies glued together

>>61485689
I do a good amount of photoshop/after effects/mining, and I don't really want to have to deal with lag or closing all my chrome tabs or something while doing that. I'm on 16 gb right now (on a less powerful cpu though), so I thought I would need an upgrade.

>>61485706
whoops, 2 bad. I already purchased that psu over prime day because good price. If it doesn't work I guess I'll just RMA and cry. I guess I can't test it until I actually put the PC together, huh?

>How is it hard to see who I should believe in.
I think getting an actual solution to your problem is more believable, don't you think? Of course, the flaming faggot ITT hasn't posted one yet, unlike the Microsoft guy.

>>61485720
There are some PC components you really shouldn't skimp on, even if the price looks good. The PSU is one of them.
You can test it to make sure it's outputting the right voltage.

>>61485747
What is the solution? Asrock gonna un-EOL a board they declared EOL?

it's not fair

Ideally, ass crack has to bite the bullet and do motherboard replacements

>>61485766
They are not doing that

>>61485775
that's right, which is why I said ideally

>>61485782
Ideally, no one should buy from a company that EOLs their board 4 months in and tells their buyers to suck it up and that it will be supported but not past Ryzen 1.

Just bought a noctua af-14 industrial ppc -3000 pwm fan and it sounds like my pc is taking off. I've limited it to 1600 through one of the bios profiles but it's still so loud. Have I fitted it wrong? I know it's obviously going to be quite loud because it's a lot ta rpm but I want to be sure before I send it back

>>61485794
depending on how consumer laws work in the USA, they could get sued for pulling shit like that

>>61485815
I don't see anyone suing them tho

>>61485752
Eh, how often is it that psus are DOA or just faulty? I thought I was safe purchasing from a well liked company with good reviews.

Sorry if my questions are too babby, haven't really touched PC upgrading/building in years.

>>61485901

Guess this whole thread is moralism and virtue signalling then since it is anons advicing anons on what products are good or are bad.

>>61485917
that's right goy, don't get in the way of a merchant and his business
:^)

apparently im going to need another copy of windows since you cant use the same product key on multiple PCs. should I get 7 or 8?

>>61485929
7 or 10. 8 is garbage.

So I did a partial upgrade around this time last year and bought myself a 1070 and a 144hz 1080p monitor.

I'm starting to look at doing the cpu/mobo/ram but reading through this thread has left me conflicted as to whether I should get a 7700k or a 1600/1700.

Also while my psu has around the recommended wattage for these builds, it's close to 5 years old. Should I be buying a new one?

>>61485979

>>61481121
anyone got a recommendation on a micro-atx case?

It would probably have a RX 580 in it.

what is a good 144hz monitor for less than £250?
Someone suggested the ViewSonic XG2401 last thread, is that good?

>>61485982
Seasonic M12II 750 bronze

>>61486145
you'll survive

>>61485979
Worth mentioning as well that the monitor has gsynch, apparently that makes it less important to get a 7700k because you don't absolutely need 144 frames at all times.

1600 for better cost efficiency and future proofing I guess?

>>61484033
>Not knowing of the dificulty spike
PPD for a 480 is still at 1.60, and only going down

Is there some simple explanation on fans vs blowover vs liquid on GPUs?

>>61486878

Liquid = the coolest

What monitor should i get in the 90-120 bucks price range? 24 inch accepted

im fucking pissed
I spent ages working myself up to buy my new build and fucking amazon fruad protection wants me to fax them my bank statement and personal information
what fucking year is this?

Fuck anon you should come here they're like $700

>>61486801
overkill cooler.
what the fuck is that SSD? you can get 512gb for 136$.
imo you should go for 580/1060 when prices are back to normal. if you're on a budget you could drop the cooler and get cheaper psu.

>>61487725
>>61487725

>>61487554
get adata su800 512gb.
no reason to spend $60 if you want it be quiet. the stock cooler does a pretty good job and if you really want aftermarket one then get be quiet pure rock for 30$. also see graphs in https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CRYORIG/A40/7.html
as for psu if you're really a noisefag then just keep supernova g3.
