Which motherboard maker has the best quality control? Asus has let me down and I want to try somebody else when Zen 2 comes out.
Leo Flores
You stated consider a larger ssd instead of a ssd and big hdd but why? Wouldnt you want all your games and the os on the ssd and put everything else on the larger hdd? I might have worded things incorrectly.
Jonathan Allen
Post luxury computers this is mine its redpilled and based
Is this monitor good for this build? What would you change? I have a $1400 USD budget, but I guess I can wait another paycheck or two to get something that is worth the wait. pcpartpicker.com/list/KqqGD2
Mason Jackson
Okay faggot, so when are you going to put it together or are you just going to keep posting pictures of boxes?
Would an i7 6800k bottleneck a 2080ti @ 3440x1440?
Ayden Reed
you paid all that money but you sit here on a pc building thread instead of actually playing something just how much of a virgin are you? and this is coming from someone with a much better setup than you but I'm here to help others, faggot

dont need to overclock it runs everything at 1440p ultra 144fps
Mason Robinson
Depends on the game. Most it wouldn't, but something like Star Citizen it might.
who the fuck cares about cable management does nothing except waste of time just connect it like normal people
Josiah Ortiz
Are you using the least amount of cables possible? Are they out of the way?
Thomas Morgan
Autism, I love having clean and nice looking cables in the back, even though no one's gonna see them. I also don't want the cables to be visible from the front too much.
I'm using everything short of a second PCI-E and an extra molex cable. They're visible from the front but it's a clean look for the most part.
Kevin Adams
The box sits on my desk and I love cleaning it and looking at it, it's to me what cars are to normalfags.

AOC - Q3279VWF 31.5" 2560x1440 75 Hz Monitor for 200EUR. What's the catch?
Jason Rodriguez
It's 1440p and only 75hz
Matthew Cook
Considering the fact that you need at least a 1080Ti or 2080 to get above 75fps without turning down settings at 1440p, if that's the only "issue", this looks like a steal to me.
Benjamin Gomez
>pcpartpicker.com/list/fCmbD2 Is this build good enough for gayming? Is there something I'm missing? Is there something i don't need? How can I improve it? Haven't built a pc in almost 10 years, I'd be really glad if someone could help me.
thank you for the list, but why did you remove the cpu cooler? does it come included with one of the other parts?
Easton Reyes
He was posting that for over a year. Adding a new part every few months. This is how long it took him to save up just to post on Jow Forums about how rich he is.
Kevin Baker
Yes the CPU comes with it's own cooler. So unless you are going to overclock your cpu it should work just fine. I'm sure the stock one will work to some degree of overclock, but I'm not sure how much.
Isaiah White
nice, I'm not planning to overclock any time soon so it should work fine.
Ayden Wilson
I'm running some 4x4gb DDR3 G-skill RAM (old, but I got it because it was on sale and I wanted to get 16gb). However, now it's overheating whenever I play games for a long time. Would a RAM heatsink/cooler help, or are those not very effective?
Tyler Ramirez
>would making the thing that is overheating cooler make a difference? Take a guess. You could upgrade though if you have the dough.
Xavier Jenkins
I was more asking how effective they were or if it was just a meme. Does DDR4 process heat better?
Angel Miller
heatsink will just delay the overheat, add a fan blowing on the rams instead
Ian Jenkins
It depends, if you have the ram sticks from somewhere like corsair that adds all this garbage metal and RGB shit all over it the fans won't be as effective. I'm sure the liquid cooling would work well but those always seemed overkill to me. Dunno on the better heat on DDR4.
Camden Russell
Don't really have room to stick a fan directly on top because of the CPU heatsink. Are there any that I can plug into the motherboard and rearrange to blow onto them?
Ethan Thompson
Based Threadripper pulverizing i9 garbage housefires.
Apparently it's more prone to happen if you have 4 sticks. Might be the voltage, but I haven't touched that. I blasted my RAM with some compressed air after it shut down with a MEM error light on the motherboard, and it booted back up. I guess it's not a common problem.

>buy threadripper 2 get average 50 fps less than i9 9900k >stay mad
okey
Benjamin Perez
Hello Jow Forums, I'm looking to upgrade a 5-year-old build of mine
>buy intel >burn your house to the ground No thanks.
Xavier Scott
What is the cheapest Ryzen model that is actually worth buying?
Angel Perez
all 4 of my ram slots are full and mines have never overheated, but then again my ram sticks have heatsinks on them.
maybe you can try lowering the voltage and see if it reduces heat and is stable. or you could improve case airflow by adding more intake fans. if that's not an option then see if a RAM heatsink outfit would help. I know ebay and aliexpress sell a few and they even come with gay shit like RGB.
Jonathan Jones
>somebody actually compared those two >even a $1500 GPU will dip below 144fps at poverty resolutions jesus christ
Mason Jackson
kek
when will amd ever make something to compete against intel?
How can people possibly defend this? threadripper 2 gets shit on by the i9 9900k
