Retard question here: can I power a HDD like this with one of those square four pin molex cables from the PSU?

Attached: SATA07.png (580x201, 109K)

I mean one of these btw.

Each cable has a meaning, red is 5v and the connector you posted later doesn't have any. Unless you find another source of 5v or transform 12v to 5v somehow I don't think you can power a HDD.

Why would you want to? Psus come with like 6 molex connectors just use one of those

Do they? Didn't take a good look but I think all I had left was the square ones.

How old is this PSU and what's the rest of the build? Just curious

Take a picture of your power supply and the connectors

recommended CPU for 3440x1440 100hz, mainly for games + photo editing.

High end:

2700x

Midrange (but still very capable):
8400
2600/x

Pick a category based on budget and get the one which is cheapest alongside the motherboard and ram you want.

I'll just take a good look at it. No idea what the fuck's in it.

>x370 pro
>1060
>ryzen 5 2600x
I think I should go with 16GB ram but what about the motherboard? It's already bought and I have regrets if it is decent enough for the other parts

Are you retarded? One google search is all it took, EVGA under $300 dollarydoos.

now that vega cards are actually not stupidly overpriced should i get one?
using r9 390 with nixeus 24in freesync 1080p
rx vega 56 is about 500
rx vega 64 is about 600

that's the 3GB aka the c u c k version, with less memory bandwidth.
might as well call it the GTX 1050 Ti Ti.

Couldn't see shit without undoing my cable management. Here's my PSU. What cable do I need to power the HDD?

You fags just dont give up do you

Attached: 8400 btfo.png (1275x714, 348K)

I can see 4 molex connectors there but to power the hdd you need sata power (assuming it's a modern hdd) which is the cable which has a connector which looks flat. In the picture it's directly under the picture of the power supply on the left

>still pretending a 3fps average difference at 1440p is a game changer

As has been mentioned before, it's significantly cheaper in places and is just as good of an option as a 2600 at 1440p. Even the the guy who made the benchmarks says the same thing. If you don't agree with what he says then stop posting his benchmarks.

>it's significantly cheaper
I wouldn't go that far but it depends, if the prices are the same the 2600 is clearly better

I just got a bunch of stuff off eBay last night with the 15% off everything code

paid like $165 for a 2600x

You can get a RX 580 8GB or a 1060 6GB for $10 more

Prices will never be the same as it requires premium RAM and knowledge of how to tweak timings to achieve those results. And an aftermarket cooler. In fact he addresses this in his conclusion and says unless you're willing to fork out an extra $100-150 on b-die ram and cooler then it's not the better choice for the price. Not my words, Steve's from hardware unboxed. The point is the 8400 is just as good of an option as the 2600 so stop pretending it's not. If you want to go further I can quote Steve when he says the 8400 is just straight up better for gaming however I don't completely agree with that.

>3 watts more
Thats like 10 cents in a year. That's so crucial, I can't think why people buy intel.

As for your other misleading screenshot you do realise 2600x has slower frametimes and throtthles more with 30% less cpu load right in that game right? But who cares

>le AMD echo chamber

Holy shit this isn't about your personal opinion you melt. This is an unbiased thread for potential pc builders. You already got so completely asshurt because that guy wanted an 8400 + 1070 ti because it was cheaper. People aside from yourself in your little deluded world do take into account all hardware and cost and that's evident in previous posts. Stop trying to turn this into some AMD central retard. Not even r/AMD is this bad. In fact they generally give good advice as opposed to you shills here.

2200g with a dual channel kit since that's important to get the most out of the iGPU, you'd have a better upgrade path. This would be a bit over budget but it'll be worth it

Why would I want a 1070 ti if I already have a 1070? I don't even plan on upgrading my processor for another couple of years yet and I'm waiting for Zen 2. Also I don't even live in the USA.

Yet if you were to go to SQT where people chime in with objective answers they would say get a mac if the price was right and dependant on usage scenario. The same thing is what people are trying to do In these pcbg threads which are objective and not vendor biased yet it's people like you calling everyone else shills for being neutral and recommending other companies rather than praising AMD and only AMD like the second coming of Jesus.

And fyi I've never been or browsed reddit before I just know they banned adoredtv and call him out for his nonsense and that's good advice to me.

The unbiased fact is that intel is inefficient, slow, hot, riddled with hardware bugs and exploits, with 0 support post launch from intel. Meanwhile AMDs worst problem is that you have to spend 30-40$ more on ram and people are too stupid to update a bios.
