Actual non-duplicate thread is at Nothing on a mainstream platform. Z390 and X370 don't have enough PCIe lanes to saturate an ATX board's slots. mATX cases are also typically cheaper.
Chase Ward
Cry some more, idiot. You lost already.
Nobody cares about your Vega card shilling.

>Recommending Intel as a great CPU option when it costs way more
Anons stop selling fucking 6c/6t processors to anyone, they have 0 longevity since games are programs want more threads these days.
Noah Lee
No one cares about your 6Gb card in 2019 for 1440p and 6 threads for the same price and worse gaming performance as 6c/12t out of blind fanboyism spamming
The most hilarious part about him shilling 6c/6t CPUs is that while the averages are THE SAME, he keeps spamming to bury posts hidin the fact that the frametimes are much worse. He knows it's worse but he does this to troll.
Ask in the non-duplicate thread.
William Torres
Yes, since my case came with just 3-in-3 adapters I shoved some of those into the some of the 5.25" bays instead. I currently have BD reader/writer 7 port USB 3.0 hub USB 3.0 + multicard reader + fan controller 1 3.5 + 2 2.5 in 5.25 1 3.5 + 2 2.5 in 5.25 1 3.5 + 2 2.5 in 5.25 Then the last 6 are just standard 3 3.5 in 3 5.25 since I can't be bothered to spend the money on 5 in 3's
Kayden Ortiz
the problem with mini ITX is the lack of IO. You don't just lose PCIe lanes, you lose RAM slots, SATA ports, USB headers, fan headers, m.2 slots, etc. When a manufacturer does manage to cram 4 SATA ports and/or 3 m.2 slots onto a Mini ITX board, they're often in asinine places that are really annoying to get to. If you get a Mini ITX board, double check how many fan headers it has. Even the good boards typically only have 2 (excluding CPU fan header). Micro ATX is kind of a goldilocks size for most users. It has enough space for a GPU (and enough guaranteed space for the GPU to breathe), maybe an extra expansion card, and enough room left over for conveniently-placed m.2 and SATA ports.
Connor Rogers
Like you can be an Intel shill all you want, their high ends are great for games, but their middle range are such shit that I would feel awful recommending them over a 2600x, and the fact that brand recognition means more to OP over performance tells me he is a giant nigger
Evan Stewart
>hello here your options today sir >you have intel shill thread >or amd shill thread >please to be enjoy sir
Mason Mitchell
Tfw you can get 8 sata ports on a mini itx board but it's a damn asrock workstation board that costs an arm and a leg compared to its other abilities. Honestly I just converted one of my m.2 ports to pcie x4 and shoved a sata adapter card in there.
Asher Barnes
the sad part is that you can't even get that many SATA ports on most micro ATX boards. Now that m.2 is a thing and DVD drives are dying out, people don't need them as much I guess.
Aiden Cox
Would an R9 380 and i5-4460 be enough to play Sekiro on max at 60fps? or at least medium settings?
Noah Morgan
What's the overall verdict on Lian Li cases? I'm thinking of getting an Alpha 330 or Lancool 1.
Matthew Fisher
Nobody's going to your thread, idiot. You can shill your shitty AMD cards in the AMD threads, shill.
Kevin Wilson
I've currently got a 3570k and a 1070 Ti running a 144hz monitor. Would this be a solid upgrade (mostly interested in single core performance)? I don't really know how to pick out a good motherboard, save for looking to see if it has all the slots I need.
>70803120 Posting the build I completed today and specs:
>Ryzen 3 2200g >8GB DDR4 2133 >500 GB SSD >Asrock B450 Pro4 M >Corsair CX450 80+ Bronze >Versa H17 case
Came in under $300 with all the sales and rebates. Haven't overclocked the APU yet but so far it's been able to handle 720p video encoding with no problems and I've been playing Bioshock remastered on it at about 85 FPS
You can, and I noted that I did in my current build. It makes me wish I went for a motherboard with more m.2 ports though, since I'd love to have a 3.0 hub hanging off one as well.
Alexander Sanders
If I wanted to build a cheap Ryzen PC, am I really stuck with B450 and X470 Motherboards? Why can't they ship the cheaper ones with updated Bios?
Camden Murphy
I'm not going to your AMD shilling thread.
Juan Flores
Pretty comfy build
Parker Hall
Stop role playing.
Ask in the actual thread. This one was made as a duplicate.
Chase Thompson
Thanks man. I scrimped and saved and hunted deals for months to build it. I had a spare drive and RAM, spent $195 on the other stuff (case, processor, motherboard, power supply, etc).
REMEMBER how all those fags tell you that 4.2GHZ on 2600 is easy, heck you can even get it on a stock cooler
youtu.be/n5cndooT3WQ?t=382 >we couldn't maintain 4.2GHZ even at 1.4125V and going beyond this would require chilled liquid Remember some people can't even get 4.0GHZ to boot no matter the cooling or voltage on the 2600. Remember not to buy into the lottery hype, and plan for actually getting stock performance, guaranteed performance, not golden sample lottery ticket performance Otherwise you are no better than a gambler saying >no no no this time I will win, I am feeling it!
Jordan Evans
Gamers Nexus proved that that shit doesn't matter and even though that's way too much it doesn't affect performance literally at all
Anthony Powell
Does anyone own one of these monitors that can give me some feedback? Also, is HDR still a meme with PC monitors? I know on TVs it looks amazing but I've heard mixed things about HDR for PC monitors.
Looking to buy a new monitor. Not sure if I should go with 144hz since I only got a 1070 and I usually only play new titles. Pretty much impossible to reach over 100 fps in. I'm looking for 27-30" 1440p IPS, so far I've looked at Dell U2719D and everything about it looks great. The new Innolux monitors were a disappointment from what I can read?
They honestly lost the sillicon lottery and also that's a 2700x not a 2600.
Colton Hall
That's a "50 year anniversary GOLD EDITION " And you can see it's binned like shit. You can imagine how the 2600s are binned as they are literally the bottom of the barrel. Yet you have people here shilling that 4.2GHZ is easy on those chips, even when there is cases of 4GHZ being the hard limit or 3.9GHZ.
Benjamin Butler
Amd never claimed binned anniversary 2700s. It's a different ihs and that's it.
Luis Reyes
Who gives a shit? The extra few hundred megahertz isn't that big of a deal. Having a six or eight core chip that can even hot 3.5 is a pretty big deal. I got a 2700 that can hit 3.8 at 1.2v on the stock cooler
AMD never claim anything directly. It's the fans,drones,shills that try to fanatically shill their products to the poor "brainwashed masses". In threads like this you have plenty of people claiming all kinds of shit about dubious easy overclocks 4.2GHZ all core easy at 1.2V and stock cooler.
Juan King
cringe op
Henry Fisher
I can only imagine how many veins your popping over the mere thought your shitty Vegas aren't getting shilled.
Nolan Morgan
AMD unironically made up ground and beats them in multithreaded performance. Intel still wins in single-core performance, which is what really matters for most games. Gap still closing though.
AMD doing way better in the CPU war than they are in the GPU war.
Hudson Evans
I feel like AMD missed an opportunity with their 50th anniversary 2700x.

Yes, though there are some cases that can only hold mATX and not ATX.
Austin Davis
Does anybody have AOC 24G1 or AOC 27G1 monitor?
Gavin Long
The gold edition is just the regular CPU but with a little lisa su on the heatspreader. It's priced the same too.
Alexander Jackson
Should I replace the thermal place on this used Vega56 I got? Is it hard to do? Can I break something?
AMD makes your life much easier, you get great specs for a low value, and unlike nvidia and intel, their drivers are officially open source making installing drivers for other operating systems much easier
Thomas Reed
On pcpartpicker, is there a way to create a group of the same part? Like if I wanted to add about 6-7 GPUs together so I can always compare their price at any time with one click?
It's a pain searching and filtering every time I want to check.
Benjamin Reed
>amd >making installing drivers for other operating systems much easier
Actually I was doing something else, and pcbg was clearly idle, but that didn't stop you from bumping and samefagging in your shill thread like crazy. Imagine your whole life being a general on Jow Forums, lmao.
Sorry idiot, I'm never buying a Vega, ever. You're also never going to make new threads in peace while you shill shitty video cards.
