I just dedust my PC. I have it on the floor under my desk due to space. And my room gets pretty dusty and for some reason my front fan doesn't turn on anymore even though everything is working

>>61992655
I wasn't joking when I said to aim a fucking fan into the case. It'll temporarily aid in cooling. You need to do this immediately.

I have a 480. I bought it because I was

and now I'm wanting to upgrade but have no path on AMD's side to do it.

Fine, fuck 'em. I'm coming back to team green. Question is: do I join now and get a 1080/1080TI or do I wait for next gen?

Play some PUBG (which I'm sure will be a piece of shit for forever regardless of GPU), some other demanding games and a lot of older games. Also have a VR headset.

lads, wat do

I want to make the switch to Ryzen (specifically 1600x, already have a 212 Evo to cool it), but the problem is that I'm having a hard time judging whether or not switching to the red team would be worth the bother of getting a new mobo and RAM. I'm currently using a 4690k OC'd to 4.5GHz. Its single-threaded performance is tremendous, but I want anons that have already made the switch to tell me if having triple the threads is worth it.

>>61992473
This cooler is $34.99 on Newegg nigga.... New

Also, consider getting a Trident Z or Flare X over the Ripjaws. Uses Samsung B-Die, works much much better with Ryzen.

>>61992910
Depends on what you do my dude.
Just gaymen or do you do productivity shit like rendering?

How is the Zalman ZM-Z9 NEO? It comes in white, and I'm looking at it.

>>61992912

>>61992912
which is better flare or trident?

>>61992934
I play a lot of games, but I also write music so I render audio pretty often. Also occasional video editing.

Separate line of questioning: does anyone have personal experience with Ryzen and emulation?

is there any discernible difference between Samsung and Intel SSDs? I need a 500gb drive for programs

>>61993001
Kinda. Samsung SSD are higher quality.

>>61993001
Samsung has been the top dog in SSDs forever. Even the RAM they are involved in are better than the rest.

>>61993001
You gotta trust the Koreans on this one. Those slanty-eyed plastic fuckers can sure craft a mighty SSD.

>>61992976

They're very very similiar, you can Google the differences, perhaps with the way they distribute heat. Either way you can't go wrong with either, be sure to get decent timing and MHz, Ryzen likes higher clocks. The Flare is marketed as being 'optimized' for Ryzen, I personally got the Trident but I've seen some info that Flare is hardcoded for Ryzen timings so I'd probably get the Flare

Something that needs to be put in the sticky

>check Craigslist daily for deals
If you live in even a medium-sized city, you can find new, unopened tech all the time for cheap. Lots of people trying to unload stuff for cash and it still has the factory tape on the box. I bought a $600 GTX1080 for 550, a $250 Dell monitor for $110, etc. You can save a lot of cash and find some unexpected upgrades by just browsing the parts/accessories site every evening.

Never cheap out on PSU.
Ever.

>>61993726
I've had one and it worked as it said on the box

They won't blow up or anything and they're as efficient as whatever rating, can't ask for much more. In my experience the EVGA modularity is much better, though. The corsair I had was pretty half-assed (had some molex cables I couldn't remove)

>>61993726
EVGA is known for quality, one of the very best PSU manufacturers
With Corsair, I would pay very close attention to the user reviews on whatever model you're looking at, and steer clear of any with too many one star/egg ratings

Has anyone ever used the Zalman Z9 Neo? It hits all the sweet spots for what I want.

>>61993726
Piggybacking off this post, how are Antec PSUs these days? They used to be my PSU of choice but it's probably been a decade since I last used one.

I've decided i want to buy an rx vega 64 at $699 or less. i know in every way this is the worst deal of the century. and that it barely manages 1080 performance at much higher power consumption. and will cost more money to run in the long run. but my autism. something about a red and black box sitting in my pc is so satisfying. i cant handle the ugly cheap look of 3 gaping fans on my gpu. someone please talk me out of this. why should or should i not buy the rx vega. im genuinely asking for help bros

>Neither have been opened
You know how easy it is to repackage something?
But really there's not much difference between the two, get the PNY because it's cheaper.

I'm looking to update cpu+ram+mobo, what'd be better?
Considering Ryzen 1700, RAM 16gb(2x8) 2400Mhz, mobo Asus Prime B350 Plus,
or Ryzen 1600, RAM 16gb(2x8) 3200Mhz, mobo Asus Prime B350 Plus,
or Ryzen 1600, RAM 16gb(2x8) 3200Mhz, mobo MSI X370 Gaming Plus.
To use in multitasking, and some gaming at 1080p with an old amd 270x.
Not looking into overclocking the cpu.
I'm not really sure if I should invest more into the cpu or RAM, or RAM+mobo, I'd like to stay in that price range and get the best bang for that.

>>61994517
Second combo is good enough.
When you say multitasking what do you mean by that? What programs are you gonna be running. Because there is a difference when multitasking is running a video on the 2nd monitor while having a browser open on your first vs rendering 3D models in the background while you do audio editing.

>>61994066

Lmao drop the i7 70k Meme bro, they're good at gaming but Ryzen is negligibly close in that sector and beats it at every category. Grab a Ryzen 7 1700 or 1800x if you want.

>1000w psu
>literally says 425w usage up top
>nigga r u stupid?

Put in an actual respectable board

I don't think you'll need 32GB Ram, I thew in Flare X series RAM instead, it's designed to work very well with Ryzen right out of the box due to the Samsung b-dies.

If you want to fill out your budget get more/bigger ssd.

You're welcome for saving you money.

Combo 2 will suffice

>>61994603

Np, consider getting an h100i or h100i v2 for the cpu cooling especially since you'll be rendering a bit. Super easy to install just make sure the dimensions of your case will fit. Should be well within your budget now. If you get the h100i you'll need to get the AM4 bracket for the crosshair MB since I don't think it ships with it but the 100i v2 does.

A budget build I'm considering (will re-use case and optical drive) since I don't really game much anymore, but I have a few questions:

- Is it worth it to spend extra on a Ryzen 5 1600 and GTX 1060 or should I just wait for better AM4 CPUs and GPU prices eventually return to a more reasonable level?
- Looking at various other brands having their M.2 slot below the supposed primary PCI-e X16 slot, would having a GPU so close to the M.2 slot affect the SSD's performance and life expectancy?

Yeah, that's what I thought, it's risky to pay extra for a 3200 module and have it not deliver to make a difference. I guess It's safer to go for 2400 and save the money. Thanks again.

When should I sell my 6700k and jump on the Ryzen train.

hello lads
Is 3200mhz RAM for ryzen just a meme? Does it make a difference at CL16?

I used the recommended timings on my kit and it worked just fine. I even tried cutting power from the PC just to see if the settings stay (they did). But, after a week, we had a power outage and the PC failed to boot, BIOS then reset automatically. What happened? Should I blame the RAM or the MB?

I can't find a mouse general so I figured I should post here.

I just got my wireless G403. It has slight wheel rattle and it doesn't really affect me much but apparently the new G403s should have no such issues. Should I get a refund/exchange?
Anyone with a G403 in here can help me?

Ryzen 5, GTX 1060 or better. Stick with 1080p and it'll serve you well for years. Get a good PSU, because if you skimp on that it'll fuck everything up. Seasonic or EVGA gold-rated or better.

If you really require 1440p or 1880p or 2160p, then that's where it'll fuck you. Hence what I noted about sticking with 1080p.

The resolution requirements bring shit like GTX 1080 Tis in, and there's no guarantee as to the long term there. You'll be paying totally out the ass instead of just slightly out the ass.

That said, with the current hardware climate I wouldn't feel right taking up that offer. Especially since the things I mentioned are basically the things I'd want. GTX 1060 6GB is fucking overpriced to hell. Should be $180. Instead it's $300.

Just trying to be helpful.

whats the best 4tb hdd out rn now that is good price wise

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ny9DWX

First time building a full PC.
I am unsure about the RAM, I don't feel like need more than 8GB. Is the speed a problem with the Ryzen?
Also the HDD I have for a long time now, should I replace it? It doesn't seem broken.
I am upgrading from a very old monitor, are 144Hz worth it?
What about the case?
Is there anything you guys would recommend changing? I can't afford a much higher budget, maybe +100€ if it's worth it.

>>61995041
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FqXwsJ

Should I use 2 Static Pressure fans as intake?

>>61995429
You could probably find a 144HZ monitor exactly $200 if you look hard enough. Higher clocked RAM does have a benefit with Ryzen's architecture. Also you could easily find a 1TB HDD at Microcenter for $50. They have back to school sales now, I just snagged one from there.

>>61995450

Either your GPU or the motherboard's slot is fucked.

>>61995556
If it's the Motherboard slot is there anything I can do?

I want to buy a 1440p 144Hz monitor, the Dell - S2417DG, but I dont urgently need it. Would it be foolish to buy it now at its current MSRP of $400 + tax instead of waiting for deals in November or December?
Price history doesnt show anything lower than $380 and I dont know if things like higher end monitors ever get notable deals.

>>61992528

I've recently bought a ryzen 7 1700 and it seems to be running games worse than my i5 4440 used to run, I checked its performance in performance test and it seems my physics is as low as ryzen can get.whats the reason for this and what can i do about this

Is it worth getting 7200 rpm over 5900 or 5400?

>>61995641
Theyre much better!

>>61995673
not unless you're only getting an HDD and no SSD

I guess. Half the buyers end up returning TN panels after a week so maybe I can get an open box discount

>>61995005
Not a meme, 3200mhz is worth it.

>>61995709
Meh. If you want HDDs, snatch up some of the WD 8TB external hard drives from Best Buy or price match at Fry's or something. Shuck the case and you get an 8TB WD Red. They're 8tb 5400RPM and depending on luck either 256MB or 128MB cache (just check the bottom of the box if you go to brick and mortar store and look for Made in Thailand for the 256MB.) These are currently going for the same price as the drive you linked.

Also, the drive you linked isn't all that great. 7200 RPM isn't as good a spec to throw out as it was before a small SSD became a staple in every build. Plus, that one only has a 128MB cache. You could also be getting a 4TB HGST for this price, which is more reliable.

>>61995755

sorry, former name for Hitachi. They are or at least were the most reliable name in hard drives. They got bought out by WD but I think they still make their drives differently (i.e. Hitachi drives are manufactured differently than WD drives) and are still reliable, I just haven't bought one in a while so idk.

But honestly, you shouldn't care at all about the speed rating of the hard drive unless you're using it as a system drive (which you shouldn't be doing when SSDs exist and are affordable). Honestly, the best thing you could do is get a small (120~500GB) SSD and scoop up one of them Best Buy 8tb external drives, take it out of the case, and install OS and programs on SSD and store media and files on the HDD

>>61993176

>>61995836

almost there, anon

couple notes:
You can get faster RAM for about the same price. Not sure how much you care but
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sykwrH/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gtzb is only $4 more dollars. Yeah it's 16 CAS but I doubt you'd notice

The cooler master is only marginally better (like 10° C difference at full load) than the stock cooler. If you need an aftermarket cooler, some anon recently made an in-depth Ryzen infographic that's been floating around here for a couple threads now, and in it he compared some coolers, look at those instead.

Also, you can get a 750W PSU for the same price https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rt8H99/evga-power-supply-210gq0750 (it's semi-modular but only the mobo cable is non-removable. I actually have this one and it's really good)

Other than that, you're build is coming together quite nicely

I'm planning on getting DDR4 ram, BUT my mobo only supports DDR3, so I'm pretty sure I'll need to upgrade that.

But there's one thing that bugs me... Should I upgrade my CPU aswell? It only supports DDR3 ram.


TL:DR
Have a MOBO that supports DDR3 ram and a CPU that does the same. Should i upgrade both or the mobo only?

>>61993471
Don't go MSI for x370. Bought one and regret this decision every day.

>>61996138

>>61996138

>>61996146

Why?

>>61996157

>>61993176

Need to upgrade for battlefront 2 - current gpu is about 7 years old - but cryptocurrency has fucked me. 1050ti or wait?

>>61996181
7 years old... well, prices ain't going down any time soon, so if I were in your shoes I'd go ahead and get the 1050ti

im nub, dont balme me, i have 3 questions
1: intels processors are able to run ddr4 2400 ram. but mobos can go for 3200.... what happen if i will get 3000mhz? ( my point is 3000mhz cost same as 2400)
2: which mobo you recommend for i7700k?
3: which psu can you recommend me with minumum usage of 300w ?

>>61996236
1. Then your ram runs at 3000mhz
2.Z270
3.650W minimum. Something with a good brand like Seasonic

>>61996124
Why should i switch from modular to semi modular? i dont need more power

>>61996181
>current gpu is about 7 years old
And Battlefront 2 is ten or something. What's the problem?

>>61996164
If you want DDR4 you either go Ryzen or wait™ for coffee lake.

>>61996257
it's the same price but PSU operating at lower load=better temps and efficiency. Not a huge difference but something I always make a note of

>>61996158
What Ryzen CPU would be best for my GTX 960? I sometimes play games but most of the time i edit videos with programs such as: After Effects, Cinema 4D etc...

>>61996284
1600

>>61996284
1600

x is a meme and 1700 is better but it's also ridiculously expensive for what you get

Is higher CFM better or worse?

Got a couple questions my famalamalingadingadingdongs:

1070 is roughly 600--700 AUD while 1080 Ti is roughly 1200 AUD, is the 1080 Ti worth double? I'll be playing mainly GTA V and eventually RDR2 at 1440p165hz.

What's the best model of 1070/1080 Ti for someone who is highly sensitive to fan noise? I want the quietest card, with the most pleasant/quality sound profile.

I hope you have a 144hz monitor.

So, my PSU has weird power cables for Video Cards. They end in a 6 pin connector, but then go from there to an 8 pin one. I have a 1080 to and this need both the 6 and 8 pin hookups. Can I just use one cable and both the 6 and 8 pin ends, or do I need to use one for 6 pin and one for the 8 pin?

>>61996487
It might work, it might not. Check the manual or just use 2 separate cables to be safe.

Any good? Prices and availability in my country are beyond retarded, so I'm just trying to piece together something. Gonna add HDD later.

Need a PC for photo and some video editing, not interested in gayming.

What's a good 2.5" SATA-USB caddy brand to get? Need to put a 1TB backup SSD in it so I want something decent quality that won't fuck it up or break easily.

It's looking like Polaris prices aren't dropping any time soon, and I can still break even or profit a little bit on my Rx480. I'm not going to get gtx 1070 money for it, but I can easily afford a 1070.

Should I go for it? My only thing holding me back is my freesync, 1080p, 144hz monitor. Sync tech doesn't really matter when you're at 60ish hz, but when you are dipping between 144, down to 100, etc, the sync tech really does help keep things consistent.

MY ebin shoebox PC tops out at 60C for the CPU (air cooled) and 75C for the GPU. Mini-ITX is literally the way of the future you ignorant luddite.

I'm considering a 1080 Ti for my 1080p@144Hz monitor but online reviews and my friends are disagreeing with this decision and recommending me either a 1070 or regular 1080. Why is this? Looking at benchmarks the 1080 is barely keeping an average of 120~130FPS (max settings) with the latest modern games, let alone the 1070.

That mouse is disgustingly overpriced, lawl, but I'm partial to the Nzxt s340 Elite at $99. Any of the Phanteks Enthoo line might fit your aesthics. And then there's always good ol sexy Fractal. They just came out with the glass window Meshify C that just got a bunch of reviews.

Just throw your money out the window if you feel like it. Actually why not buy TWO GTX 1080 TIs if you feel you need 1080p future proof fps speeds.

Any improvements on this?

>>61998713
Those are using MAX graphics. 8x antialiasing, Ultra shadows, other unnecessary crap. If you want to pay an extra $200+ difference from a 1080 just for that, sure, go ahead. If you care about texture quality and whatnot that much, you may want to instead get a 1440o monitor, and sell your 1080 display to a counterstrike fag or something.

wow just settle for a RX 560 if it is any cheaper

>>61998713
>1080p 144hz
a vega 56/gtx 1070 can do that, don't waste money

>>61998826
I'm not him but I think it's a very cute build. Very fitting for a child.

All jokes aside it actually is pretty cool build.

>>61998765
nigger, what are you trying to improve? Performance at current price? Do you want it to be cheaper? What are you doing with the system?
That said, I'm already poking around for better items for you.

>>61998765
>mini-itx
also, get something cheaper than the 1060, fucking hell a $500 1060 is not worth it

I'm thinking of switching my psu, since it creates a lot of heat. I'm thinking of getting this one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438094 .

Is this one a good choice or do you guys have any other recomendations?

>>61998911
For that price, you can afford a nice Seasonic one.

>>61998826
I have to move frequently, so I unfortunately can't have a big $300 case with tempered glass and LEDs out the wazoo to try and compensate for the emptiness in my heart like most people can

>>61998890
T-thanks

>>61998943
>Seasonic
You mean this one? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151171&cm_re=SeaSonic_SSR-650GD-_-17-151-171-_-Product

I made your ram and storage better and slightly cheaper.

>>61998967
That is a nice one. Do you need gold tho? Bronze and Silver will do fine as well.

>>61998900
Kiwi dollars are worth less than burger dollars you know, that said the market is fucked as badly as anywhere else and that's the best I could find without sacrificing too much performance.

>>61998899
Oops I should've specified, it's for gaming mostly and the usual shit. I was mostly asking to see if I made any obvious mistakes or something.

>>61998993
Hmm well no, I think. My misconception might be that the higher 80+ certification, leads to less of a heat generator.

>>61998989
Thanks dude, much appreciated.

>>61999068
is your psu possibly not well ventilated? Dusty? Failing?

>>61999094
There is enough space in the back and a few months ago I cleaned my pc inside out.
I noticed especially now in the summertime the whole heat that comes from my pc is the PSU. It's heating up the whole room like a sauna.

Maybe it is "failing"? It already runs for 5 years. And in the last 1 or 2 years, I noticed the extreme heat.

>>61996383
Frankly my PC got fucked and I just sold the laptops we had the other week. I would've had to use my wife's work laptop or find a way to get it on a usb. Too difficult, went and bought it. Felt terrible.

Fixed. Stretch your budget a little and you actually have a respectable top of the line rig.

>>61999213
>Get at least 4gb usb stick
>Download tool from Microsoft

If you're capable of reading and pressing 'next' button, you're able to install Windows to usb.

fixed your fix. NEX units aren't great. Overpriced motherboard. Cooler is just personal preference. Anon could also get away with a big heatsink instead of liquid, and using a Define C or Meshify C instead which is slightly smaller.

>>61999470
Meh agree with the PSU and cooler not with the Mobo, Ryzen works very well with Crosshair boards but frankly I got the crosshair because of VR also and I need all the USB slots I can get which the Crosshair offers a fuck ton of.

I have a skylark i5 on a z170 motherboard but I'm pretty sure the board is dead. If I clear the bios with dips witches then I can boot into the bios and configure everything and on the diagnostic page all my other hardware is recognized correctly but when I save and exit and try to reboot I just get a no signal message on my monitor. I also have to mash the power button for the machine to start up and the fans all sound like they're struggling. There are several little black boxes on the board and one of them looks discoloured, ie burned out. Anyway my question is will a z270 support my slake i5 and will windows 10 suit the bed over the hardware change?

>>61999861
The skylake should work because it's the same socket, and no win 10 shouldn't shit the bed because I've swapped between AMD and the install was fine.

>>61999942
Thanks for answering, what brand of mobo should I go for, I'm thinking gigabyte or msi, I want to avoid as rock as that the brand that just died on me.

>>62000109
Gigabyte and MSI are both good brands.

GIVE ME AN AIB VEGA 56 RIGT NOW

>>61992103
what gpu should I buy to play near a tomato at 1080p/60hz(high details) alongside my ryzen 1600. 1050ti or 580/1060

>>62000628
1070+
Game is unoptimized

>>62000318
Yes please. I just received my freesync display and with the 1070 being basically the same price it's an easy choice.

>>62000637
That's bullshit desu, if you use FAR it should easily be playable on a 1060.

>>62000637
so I should wait as a poorfag

are curved monitors just a meme or are they actually good

>>62000938
Maybe

>buy used heatsink
>comes with a thick layer of dried paste
Took me like an hour to clean off.
