aaaahhhh, fucking ryzens and its damn ram issues. Im fucking selling both my ram kits and getting fucking one 16gb stick to evade any fucking problems in future. Shits annoying af

I'm going to install genuine Windows 10 N Education (better than Enterprise)
And Gentoo in a VM
It's going to be super! :)

>inb4 1x16 doesn't run either because you fuck it up again

Anybody know where I can download the Thermabright True Spirit 140 POWER instruction manual PDF?

Main website links to some corrupt PDF and the early result on Google doesn't have info on AM4 motherboards.

>he fell for the amd meme

Worked for me first try lol. All I did was put it into A1 and B1 slots.

should i buy this? what will be my regrets? all ill be doing is light gaming, anime and not much else. also ill try to get into programing with this and ill be using windows for now till linux is compatible with it. is this a good or bad idea Jow Forums? also is it okay to make a case out of wood? i dont feel like spending on a case. i just got the money and have been waiting over a long period of time trying to make my first build but dont really know if to wait for deals or not. its been over 5 months and no deals on any parts nor the 2400g have show up and the b450 motherboards arent here yet. any info on when they come out?

You can fap to anime from your phone don't really see why you need a computer for that.

never said ill only be doing that. ill be rendering anime in 60fps with vps cus i like the. way it looks. i cant do that with my phone also watching shit on a phone sucks penis

>never said ill only be doing that
your quite honest user, i like you.

lying is a sin

130w is the limit of my pico psu. What internals can I put inside? Thermals are not an issue.

Why is the 1080 not in the sticky now?

try 4 sticks, dual are fine
I dont have problems with 2 sticks running at designed 3000mhz, with 3 sticks already it goes to shit and cant be set past 2133mhz
I just bought g skill ripjaw V, so I guess ill be fine

Because the 1070Ti and Vega 56 offer near identical performance for less money. Stickly is about value, not feelings.

>also is it okay to make a case out of wood?
Sure, you could make a case out of a pizza box if you wanted. Just remember to use proper standoffs for your motherboard, you can buy those off of ebay or one of those chinkshit sites.

>65
Meant 56, fuck

If you didn't order it already get this B-Die one

>then see you can't do that as a student
Fuck them

I've spent the last few days researching what parts I want for my build and the problems I may or may not have to circumvent in order to install W7 on it. I know someone was kind enough to write the guide for plebs like me, but does Jow Forums really think it's worth the effort to get Ryzen?
Also
>R3 2200G
>R5 2400G
If anyone else is getting W7 make sure you don't get either of these two for your build. I read somewhere that an installation is impossible due to some AHCI compliance issue.

Why do Ameriniggers always have much lower prices? Fuck this shithole

*tax/VAT not included

My Vega 56 runs below 65 with overclocking

So? Amerinigs pay 1% in tax and cry that they have to give a few hundreds for health care.

>not TR TS140P aka /ourcooler/
No

B-Die would be optimal, the point is get a 2x8GB kit faster than 2666MHz if possible

Intel's 28-core 5GHz stunt ran below 65C too, and look how that went

Are you retarded?

>Comparing a literal refrigerator cooled server chip to an air-cooled GPU

thanks but wat do u pep think of my future build? wat should i change?

Is a vega 64 worth it for ultrawide? Could one expect it to last on high settings for another 2 or 3 years?

Nothing weird here

No one can really say how much ameriburgers pay in tax. It varies a lot because for some reason they're too stupid to set their taxes at the federal level, so each state gets to have different tax rates.
Also store owners are apparently too fucking retarded to calculate taxes to include them on their pricetags because of it, so they only get their actual prices shown at checkout.

Can you build a desktop computer for £100 with the ability to watch Netflix and browse online? Not including peripherals.

>It varies a lot because for some reason they're too stupid to set their taxes at the federal level
Yeah that's so dumb, they should just set federal taxes and provincial taxes on top of that, charged on top of the post-federal tax subtotal, like civilized countries (insert relevant meme image)

Yes

buy a used 2DS
write "desktop computer" on tape
stick it on unit backside

just get a used Dell Optiplex around that price.

No, user. Do away with provincial/state taxes. Simplify your shitty system by having only one set of tax rates instead of who knows how many.

Is the ASRock X470 a 939 platform?

Stop eating crayons.

My CPU comes with a stock fan. Is it necessary to buy a separate $40-50 fan, even if I'm not going to overclock my GPU?

What CPU?

Thanks user, bought it. I was looking for b-die ram

Looking to build a machine that could run OW. How's it looking? Any way you could get it cheaper? What's really inefficient and gonna fuck me in the long run if I try to upgrade it?

Attached: overwatchMachin.png (1156x650, 69K)

I'd straight up get this, but you gotta pick it up in a literally who location.

>Pentium
>Kepler
>aftermarket cooler
Just eliminate all 3 of those and grab a 2200G. No need for a graphics card.

does intel still make their own boards? if so, is anyone retarded enough to actually buy them over a different manufacturer's?

yeah there's absolutely no reason to buy anything besides a Ryzen APU if you're just playing OW

>Ryzen APU
Gonan be honest lads, I don't know what an APU is in comparison to a GPU or CPU.

Is normal for the CPU keeps moving to 46° to 50°?

i5 8400.

a cpu with integrated graphics. the rizen 2200g has the graphical plwer of a 1030

APU combines a CPU with a GPU to be one singular chip
Intel already puts GPUs on their chips too but they're for basic browsing functionality and have no real power

youtube.com/watch?v=WBEJoAoW944
The other user is pointing out you can buy an APU that comes with a pretty good stock fan as opposed to three separate purchases
(the Ryzen stock coolers really are good but a 212 evo is always nice too)

Ask thinkpad general and see if they can find you a thinkpad for sub-$100

look at this guys build

APU is AMD's marketing term. it stands for "Accelerated Processing Unit". Basically, an APU is an AMD CPU with integrated graphics. AMD's integrated graphics are actually fairly powerful and among the most powerful integrated graphics ever, around the performance of a GT 1030.

That's honestly nuts.
>Some AMD B350 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Raven Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
shietttttttttttttt

i shit you not, you can send AMD a message through their website and request an update CPU compatible with the older bioses that you can update your board with before stalling a new APU
you'll have to send it back, of course, but the fact they even do it blew me a way a little

send back the update CPU when you're done with it, i mean

its fine, most motherboards should come with updated bios and if ur not lucky enough u can sign up to ands warranty shit and theyll send u and old apu for u to update the bios for freeeeeeee!!

How's this looking, lambs?

Attached: lookatthis.png (1148x569, 54K)

Much better. Although I'd say you may as well spring for a 2TB because they's usually $10-20 more than a 1TB

Much better. And you get 4 physical cores instead of 2. You can get more performance from it by spending a bit more for 3000 mhz ram

I'd get a 2200G or a 2400G, a B350 motherboard, a 2x4GB 3000/3200 kit, a WD Caviar Blue, a Enthoo Pro M (more airflow than the 275R but it's a bit bigger) or a MX330 and a M12II 520 or 620 EVO

NEW NVIDIA CARDS LOOM BOYOS

doubtful, but not like it concerns me anyway
sitting pretty with 980TI SLI

Getting a 2x4GB kit is important to get the most out of the GPU

What are qualities I gotta pay attention to when buying a 3.5' HDD external housing? I wanna use it to back up my photography stuff.
The store I buy most of my hardware from only has ONE housing for more than one drive and I dunno if I really need more than one.

You're on Jow Forums. Nobody cares about Nvidia products.

iGPU*

Wrong. I have SLI 1080ti and would buy an nvidia CPU in a heartbeat if they made high-end ones.

bitch build yo'self a NAS

Is a i5 2500k still good these days? Overclocked to 4.5Ghz

Attached: 1530818582098.jpg (302x302, 38K)

Depends what you're doing with it and the GPU paired with it, but yeah, it's good enough for most things and most games
I'm using a 3770k clocked at 4.6GHz

Enjoy your housefire, Intard

Single channel memory will stutter. Especially with an iGPU, it'll stutter like mad.

Try and get SSD. Maybe cheap ~500GB SSD instead of the HDD at all. Should be able to get a 500GB one around 60-75 bong.

Your PSU also seems expensive, especially for one that doesn't look to be modular.

Not really, no. There's some 5 year old games that 4threads aren't enough in and it'll stutter, especially with the low IPC of Sandy/Ivy.
4790k is the minimum you want, but a 2600k or 3770k are still decent enough overclocked except for the power consumption.

I've got an H100i V2 so I'm doing just fine
I'm holding out until Zen 2 though

that doesnt really answer any question

what's a decent graphics card for this set up? my boyfriend is using a 660ti

Attached: set.png (644x681, 49K)

don't buy bottom of the barrel chinkshit
if you're seriously concerned about quality, seagate and wd make enclosures as well

I mostly use my PC just for playing FF14 Stormblood and web browsing with a ton of tabs. I was able to get a i5 2500k and Asus p8z68v lx in full working condition for a steal price ($80) and it seems much better than my decade old outdated shit (phenom II X4 955+m4a79xtd evo Mobo). I'll be pairing it with a overclocked XFX RX 460 4GB, 8GB DDR3 1600mhz, and 500w PSU from my previous system. I know it's not the best but I'm hoping its pretty decent for a super budget system.

Good time to buy a GPU, or are things still a mess?

1070 or 1080
1080ti would bottleneck to /some/ degree but nothing disgusting
