I was actually lucky because I ran my thread updater and since it doesn't reposition itself for new pins it drew attention to the next general.

>Moreover, even though earlier AMD had claimed that its CPUs were not exposed to Meltdown-class vulnerabilities, researchers discovered a variation of Meltdown (called Meltdown-BR) that was perfectly operational with AMD CPUs. So at this point, the CPUs of all three of the largest global CPU vendors — AMD, ARM, and Intel — are susceptible to both Meltdown and Spectre. Well, at least to some of the variations from both these families. kaspersky.com/blog/35c3-spectre-meltdown-2019/25268/
So you're suggesting the whole general is unnecessary?

It's 166€ actually (180 from amazon.de), but the other components are cheaper since I will pick them elsewhere.
Cooper Flores
Meltdown and Spectre can be mitigated. Spoiler compromises every Incel system with attack times in literal seconds.
>have pozzed housefire in your system >encounter rogue peice of js >information stolen
But I guess if you're dumb enough to buy incel in 2019 you fucking deserve it.
Love how you dumb cucks bring up ancient, patched and mitigated vulnerabilities like they make your stuttering swiss cheese look good.
meltdown and spectre are very difficult to exploit and desktop users are not being effected by it. Its only an issue for servers. Just dont install malware and you will be okay

p good, you should spend the extra cash from that 2060 to grab a z390 board though, it'll likely save you some trouble.

Based af. Basically the same build i have

Gamer Nexus seems to rate the CMs airflow quite highly which is my main priority. Also probably going to watercool. I do like the looks of the meshify c though

>incel samefagging Nice try but you forgot that no one would willingly purchase pozzfires with Zen2 coming out so soon
>unironically bought incel >Calling anyone else a loser Did you at least notify the Bangladesh fire brigade before you opened gimp up to make that shoop?
Should I bother waiting for a sale on the 2060 or just get it now?

Do we have anything better than HDD's for long-term storage yet?
If not, what HDD's are y'all telling people to buy nowadays?
I have a HGST/Hitachi HUA723020ALA641 and it's fucking SATA III and 7200 RPM but I still get a nice 15-second frozen screen with jet engine sound effects the first time I access it EVERY FUCKING TIME
Evan Taylor
It came out a month ago you arent going to see any sales unless amd does something
Ryan Jones
Most people buy large 5400 drives for storage. I store my shit on 7200s
Adrian Kelly
In terms of value the 2700x ABSOLUTELY shits on it. Not like an extra percentile of performance matters when your chip causes nightmarish frame drops and stuttering.
I mean, for only 300 burgertickets more you're buying yourself the incredible power of burning your home to the ground, having your information stolen, and performing slightly better than ryzen in bench despite the user experience being ruined by stutter. What a deal!
Carter Wright
my HDD is a 7200 because I still use it for gaymes that don't need the increased efficiency of my SSD, i just think something's wrong with it because everything comes to a screeching halt the first time I load something from it after waking up/booting the computer
David Walker
No. Just no. There is no "spoiler" anything, this isn't poorly understood near magic effects of some mythical theoretical flaw. This is simply electrons being so small they can move through any material at the path of least resistance, because nothing can exert 100% perfect electrical control over them. It is current leakage. It is nothing but current leakage. It is current leakage in short channel devices, and it happens at literally every feature size, it is not exclusive to small FinFET devices like upcoming 5nm EUV FinFETs. Even planar devices have extremely high degrees of leakage through their channels, directly under the gates, electrons still leak out. Yet despite this the transistors still function.
Quantum tunneling is a meme regurgitated by people who know nothing about the field of FETs.

Sup Jow Forums, so first off I'm an idiot babby. Just replaced my CPU, RAM and mobo, got a new installation of Windows going but now I can't activate it, Toolkit just gives me this. I did try to use an older Toolkit (2.4.7) first before I realised it didn't cover Win 10, I think that may have fucked things up, help?
Really don't want to format and reinstall again, I've spent hours already setting most of my programs and stuff back up.

Budget > ~$500 usd Parts > I7-3770 > 1050ti > 16gb ddr3 (2x8) Intended use > Gaming/general use
This is just an xps 8500 that I slapped a 1050ti in and a 16gb kit , it works well and it handles what I throw at it but I'd like to upgrade it. I'm thinking maybe a motherboard and psu, if it's worth the switch to ddr4 I'd drop some more money for that. I want at least high or ultra on 1080p so probly a better graphics card and idk if it's worth upgrading the CPU or not
Mine does it to. The drive will stop spinning if you dont use it and will have to spin up again when you go to access a file. Paused a movie and started it again and saw it happen on saturday
Brody Flores
You cant use the same key on a different mobo. You have to buy another one. They are a few bucks on ebay
Jaxson Jackson
2700k with stock cooler and decent thermal paste for $470 8700k no stock cooler and uses colgate plaque protective toothpaste for $620 and i have too buy a cooler and some thermal grizzly ontop of that Want to try my hand at blender/unreal/unity aswell, is ryzen game breakingly worse then intel, for 1440p or 4k, i havnt decided what screen size im going to use yet, i have a 720p 32inch tv that im going to use for a week or 2 too see if im comfortable with it and get a 4k or downsize to 27 at 1440p Just wish VAs didnt all have curves, i would have preferred VA because unlike TN/IPS it just works
Noah Ortiz
I'm using the MS Toolkit, see
Jack Reyes
Are you online? It said it couldnt contact the activation service
Henry White
is the 1660ti good enough to warrant upgrading from an rx570. i dont really want to buy a 2060.
Thomas Thomas
Yup, I mean I'm posting on 4chen from the same PC.
Liam Torres
Oh youre cracking? Just buy 6 dollar pro key instead of installing russian spyware its worth it
Christian Barnes
Sorry kms pico installs a local ativation service and calls it. That isnt installed correctly and it cant call it
Aiden Hughes
guess i should mention im using a 1080p 144hz monitor.
Christian Stewart
The 2700x will do resolution just as well as any incel offering. You have to understand that these greasy fucks will do everything in their power to make Zen look somehow inferior. It isn't. It's the best value for you money and performs just as well, if not better, than whatever molten mossad backdoor they're peddling this week.
If you're really, truly worried that Zen somehow won't meet your lofty expectations (it will), then just wait for Zen2 to come out. The mid-range Zen2 chip they showed at CES demolished intel's i9-9900k, and it was an incomplete engineering sample.
Jaxon Gray
Yeah but 2060 is better. 2060 will actually get you 144hz in dmc5 at 1080p. Not like it matters for that game though lol
Gavin Garcia
Well I'm not sure how to install it correctly then, it's just an exe file.
Logan Cook
I've been running a corsair H70 pretty much 24/7 since 2010. Any ideas on how much longer I can count on these hose seals holding back 10 year old slime from ruining my system? Any suggestions on cheap air coolers that wouldn't compromise my 4.9GHz OC on my 2500k? I really need the extra power these days since it too is almost 10 years old now. Please help
lol im serious guys come on, should I be worried about this loop or not
Brody Reed
Your shit is all and almost worthless now. Risk it for the biscuit
Xavier Miller
Bro I'm still ripping though, I have a 2500k and an gtx 980
Charles Davis
old*
Luis Richardson
Any high end air cooler would be better than an H70 just by virtue of there is more surface area for dissipation
Isaac Green
Do we have any idea when zen2 might drop, im computerless at the moment, im browsing on a xbox one, i can wait a mabye 1 or 2 months but any longer then that i will just get the 2700x and not pay attention to the pc parts world for a few years
Logan Scott
Here's a pic of the ole clunker, radiator is thicc
Dang you might have 200 dollars worth of parts there

>put windows on a cheap chinese SSD today >bought another SSD hoping to RAID 1 but it didn't work so I'll settle for backups >which means I now have a computer with 4.5 TB of storage feels good man

lol why did this devolve into insulting my rig
James Perry
Buy a nintendo switch eggbawgs has no games
Hunter Garcia
fuk
Daniel King
It's still only a 120mm rad and most higher end air tend to be 140mm with dual towers
Luis Nelson
Ok fuck it I'll get the 2060 this week then.
What's the best variant, if it matters?
Grayson Rodriguez
true, is the hyper 212 still the best bang/buck out there or is there better shit for cheaper these days?
Jose Brooks
The model that has 2 fans and costs 350. Msi > zotac > gigabyte IMO. Some have argued the zotac is best
Kayden Ward
Just try to get a model that isn't totally shit as close to the MSRP as possible. Spending more is retarded as you might as well get an RTX 2070 at that point.
Michael Cook
The day i feel like cutting off my balls and put on some faggy dress and wig or get into a car accident which causes me to mentally regress back into prepubescents i will buy a Nintendo but until then i think i will get a pc, leave the switch to trannys and children
It's been rumored by folks in retail as early as 8 weeks from now but most realistic journalists and such are eyeballing July.
Ian Murphy
Yeah dude play fornight and apex legends on a pc like a straight white man i hear you bru
Brayden Roberts
It's still kinda the best bang for your buck but it might end up being a downgrade There is the Cryorig H5 ultimate which isn't noctua price but it should be enough if you where using just an H70 before
Anthony Taylor
I've got my entire build built. On the fence about AMD. is there anything that runs like shit on it? I've heard that Adobe struggles with Ryzen any truth to that?
Any other unoptimized stuff people have ran into?
Also I was eyeballing the taichi 470, would I have to do a firmware update to run zen 2?
How is this? Is there a better case I could get for around the same price? And will that compatibility note fuck me/
Noah Jenkins
>Cryorig H5 ultimate awesome, just bought it. thanks.
Connor Miller
Amd sucks at adobe and sucks at starcraft 2. Seems to do okay otherwise
Kevin Green
Damn straight, but in all honesty /V/ put me off them, i cant go to /V/ without having onions and nintendo switch threads filled with trannys, entitled females and beta males spamming up the place I guess through word association i see Nintendos and the above groups as being the same I never understood the hate people who play games get until i went to the basedpit /V/
Jordan Rogers
Damn is it all of Adobe or just after effects and premier?
That really sucks. I mainly do photoshop and indesign (rarely)
Jace Ramirez
When's this monitor going to be available in Leafland already?
Id look ot up on youtube there is olenty of information to help you make an informed decision. Pretty sure its fine for photoshop
Nolan Kelly
Yeah, that I will do. I just thought a nice user might already know. This is an annoying decision to make. Want to complete my build but dont want to fuck my self with a potentially unoptimized cpu.
On the other hand Intel literally has a mossad backdoor now.
It's just the video editor PS cs6 works great for me on my 2700x
Aaron Moore
pls respond
Colton Davis
One of my Corsair SP 120s failed.
anyone have a good static pressure fan recommendation?
Jonathan James
what makes the MSI 10 bucks more expensive than the Zotac when its the same GPU? Is it the fans?
Probably just gonna get Zotac.
Eli Carter
haven't built a PC in a almost 8 years, so stick with me here. I've got a fan hub that needs to plug into my 9pin USB2 connector on my motherboard. I've also got front panel USB2 connectors that are supposed to plug in there too. What do I do? I assume I need some sort of splitter, but could use a recommendation.
Joshua Scott
get a new case with front panel usb 3.0
Hudson Reyes
two 2.0 and two 3.0 in the front, three more 3.0, two 3.1, and one type-c in the back.
I suppose I could just not hook up the front two 2.0s, but that's ghetto.
Parker Phillips
PCI-e USB expansions
John Flores
so some user posted the ayymd lgbt shit my rx580 is my first amd product because shit was cheap and i wanted to upgrade from my gt1030, ex-mining card got it for $100
but seeing that amd's only marketing strategy is to try to undermine the aryan brand and never buying into the ryzen meme i'm solid on that front
but i don't want to own an amd card anymore. what's a step above gt1030 but performs similar to the rx580? idfk why but on gta4 (the only game i play) both cards perform same
cpu is a i3-8100
Jackson Watson
I'm gonna latch onto this, but is it better to use KMSpico or HWIDGEN?
