Yeah that user is wrong. Tons of ATX cases fit EATX boards without listing compatibility for it.
1080p 144hz displays are also common yet tons of games are locked to 60fps. lol. The reason adaptive sync exists is so games which run at lower FPS still look fine. 60fps in all games, and 100-144fps in some, is a more reasonable goal. Generally it's GPU that would be the bottleneck, no matter what GPU you have, given how fast the 3600 is.
Here's a 5700XT one >1070Ti/Vega56 performance at 90 watts
Do Ryzens typically run hot or is mine fucked? Full load is 85 and it goes around 55ish when gaymen.

There are no Corsair PSUs. Just Super Flower ones.
Jace Sullivan
>1080p 144hz displays are also common yet tons of games are locked to 60fps. lol. boy you can tell this guy doesn't play games
Brody Gomez
I'm from 2012. Since when did 1080p 60fps gaming become considered midrange?
Gavin Reyes
More like 1080p 144hz
Thomas Johnson
Thanks. In that case do you recommend going for a 1080p144hz or 1440p60hz monitor for my GTX 1060, knowing I'll probably upgrade GPU within a couple year. I've never played above 60hz yet, so I can't say not going for 144hz would be much of a downside.
Samuel Torres
When 1080 144 became the midrange. 1080 75 is low end. 60hz is bargain bin $25 shit.
John Stewart
Ironic, one of the main reasons Corsair PSUs got a good name was because their original OEM was Seasonic for years, only later did they start changing around OEMs.
Isaiah Rivera
I haven't noticed mine get too hot although I did see it getting into the 70s just from downloading a terabyte of steam games for a few hours I don't remember exact numbers or spin but I remember reviewers saying the series was fairly hot as they go
1440p 144hz would be a meme but for the fact that async is a thing nowadays, so people look at them and think "yeah my 2070/5700 is going to be lucky to get 100fps, but async will make it not choppy, and my eventual 2370/however AMD's naming scheme works will be able to a few years down the road and this will be the new monitor standard so I'm ahead of the curve".

pcpartpicker.com/list/h6kfJ8 How does this look for a maximum-value mini-ITX build? Not specifically for gaming, just for general purpose work.
Liam Reyes
Doing a 9700k build. I need a mobo and 32gb RAM suggestions. Reusing my GPU and PSU. Maybe a case too, what case has the most amazing airflow potential? Looks don't matter
Alexander Hill
My 9700k just works.
Carson Perez
8GB RAM in 2019? Come on dude. You know the state of modern web browsers.

What are the best performance/quiet case fans? I want only your strongest and quiet fans.
James Ward
Ok which generation of gpus enabled and 1440p 144hz midrange and 4K 1440p to be top tier?
I cant imagine Nvidshit or Amdcrap realing GPUs that did these
Jayden Harris
Again with this fucking meme. It's fucking harmless to run at 1.4-1.5 when there's no load. ZERO HARM IS DONE. Yes, I understand it itches your autism and increases idle temps by a couple of degrees but it is not damaging your CPU.
James Richardson
be quiet! Silent Wings 3
Samuel Thompson
What did he mean with this?
Sebastian Jackson
Big sorry, phone posting
Bentley Ortiz
Nice try marketer shill. Please draw a curve again and show the pbo boosting at 4,75
Do multiple monitors impact performances in any significant ways? I am going to upgrade soon and will probably have two displays left and a bunch of vesa mounts I salvaged from an office closing nearby. Is having say a game displayed in one, spotify on another and discord on the third any different than having a single display with the others running in the background in terms of CPU or GPU performances?
Sebastian Johnson
you need a maxi pad to clean up your noctual emissions
Gavin Ramirez
Nice argument you smoothbrained fuck. Learn what current is. No, obviously. When there is an actual load it drops to ~1.33v which is completely safe and normal.
Evan Gomez
It will do damage in the long run
Matthew Powell
So what's the fix?
Zachary Lee
No it will not.
Easton Smith
You can't handle my case fans, they're too quiet for you.
I would have done but somehow they ran out of motherboards before CPUs at my closest one and those haven't been restocked yet either.
Caleb Powell
55C during gaming is nothing wtf.
your $150 GPU is barely going to do 1080p@60 wtf are you talking about.
Evan Torres
>kids on Jow Forumspcmasterrace complaining about component prices >thinks a 1080ti build is 'mid-range'
PC building is economical if you understand that budget builds will run almost everything on High @ 1080p. Fortnite generation want 4k/144hz though because of all the flexing in the community now.
Is the power supply good enough? It's from my previous build from years back. Also waiting on the 5700xt AIB.
David Cox
using Windows energy profile "balanced" until there's a proper fix
Isaac Cruz
Don't complain. It's their retarded purchasing decisions and demand for unnecessary performance that funds development of more and more powerful silicon which raises all our boats.
Angel Perry
Corsair CX series is pretty low-end. in terms of wattage it's fine but long term use definitely want to get something better
Evan Reed
It helped that my brother lived in that city, so I hung out with him for the day. Still glad I did it though.
Connor Johnson
what mobo buy
Isaac Hall
Appreciate the input.
Mason Martinez

Ryan Hughes
no but really what are best fans for heatsinks that aren't loud
Nathaniel Moore
this is more to do with laptops, but I purchased replacement li-ion battery for my y50-70. I installed it and nothing boots anymore. I reinstalled my other battery (77% health lol) and it works just fine. The battery labels both claim 54Wh, 7400mAh, 7.4 nominal voltage. What are the odds that the aftermarket battery is just a dud? Did Lenovo include some sort of battery DRM in their BIOS?
Asher Jones
They're all shit.
Dylan Wood
8700k+1080Ti build is midrange now. You get the roughly the same performance out of a $1000 3600+5700XT build.
85C is fine for peak temp under stress testing, but I'd try to keep under 60C for a gaming load.
Levi Myers
It's ever been thus. Distorted perspective exists on the "budget" side of things too, whereas instead of "just get a 3600 instead of the 3600x bro" it's "never spend more than 50 dollars on a single part, trust me, 1080p is still a meme that will never catch on, who the fuck needs 2 gb of vram" and so on. And for noobs who don't know what they'll get from different product combinations, I think the majority would rather overspend for satisfactory performance than end up with unsatisfactory performance at any price.
Caleb Kelly
i heard ek vardars are really good so are noctua fans
Samuel Wright
What are some good compact cases for ATX?
Joshua Butler
gotcha, thanks
Angel Adams
What are the specific model numbers of the old and new batteries? Odds are it's some incompatibility that's hard to account for, or else just a dud, especially if it was sold as a replacement for the laptop model.
Hey anons, my newly built desktop won't post. My Mobo RGB comes on, along with CPU fan, and some other motherboard lights, but my case fans, and my LED around my power switch won't work, even though the button works.
Here are images of the guts of the PC if anyone can see anything wrong. imgur.com/a/kJlu2BQ
65c under full gaming utilization with a 280mm AIO (corsair 115i platinum - got it on prime day for $100)
Jeremiah Bell
Oh, I forgot to say, overclocked to 5ghz
Adrian Perry
Why not? I got a used AX860 Platinum+ for $7 4-5 years ago and its served me well.
Christopher Cook
Anyone else's Vega 56 got bad coil whine? Even with an undervolt whenever it comes under load it whines like a bitch.
Carson Cox
both old and new batteries are model L13M4P02, there's a second model-ish identifier 2ICP5/57/128-2 on both batteries as well Plugging the computer in and looking at the energy information module, they report similar statistics for voltage and full design Wh
Christopher Ross
Where's your RAM?
Jackson Gonzalez
If I'm nit buying a factory OC'd card is it safe to go with the founders edition or would a third party non factory OC card still have better thermals? t. buying a 2060 super
Mason White
Need an answer please. A good cheap mobo $150 or less preferably.
Charles Adams
Well you don't have any RAM and your rear case fan isn't plugged in
Jose Bennett
Literally everyone hates you though
Brody Diaz
Check your eyes
Cameron Davis
I saw a single stick of corsair ram, and you might want to move it to the other slot of the same color also plug in that fan
Dylan Cox
Too pricey, looking for a sub $150 case at most. Something like a carbide 275r or eclipse p300. bequiet cases also look really nice
Nope. I have the Red Dragon, and sometimes there is a little whine as it is going from low load to high load, but it goes away after like 3-5 seconds.
>9700k >cheap board Reconsider your choices. You need to spend $170 to get a Z370/Z390 board that is equivalent to a $110 B450 board.
Dominic Cox
of course
Jonathan Harris
Yes
David Davis
I missed the image with the RAM but that rear fan is still unplugged regardless
Carson Lopez
Why are motherboards so expensive these days? When I built my 2500K PC, I think I spent $120 on an upper end, but not top, board.
Dominic Sanders
I have a Sapphire Pulse and I got told it was a solid brand so I didn't think too much about it. Then got told a bunch of times that the coil whine will fade eventually.
Anthony Baker
NZXT H500 or Fractal Design Meshify C? same price if i get meshify without window
my Nitro+ V56 whines like an absolute FUCKER under any sort of load. It's not a total dealbreaker since I've got it in a Define R5 that does a decent job of damping it but it sure is fucking annoying when the rest of the system is so quiet.
Nolan Gonzalez
What are the absolute best fans to to replace the dead stock ones on my NH D14? Are those industrial PPC fans any good at low RPM?
Jaxon Richardson
christ almighty
Luke Garcia
I like your priorities user. But that's nothing, check out this
>my Nitro+ V56 whines like an absolute FUCKER But I warned you, I fucking told you people for weeks not to get tricked by AMD shills and that vega cards have massive coil whine ranging form absolutely insufferable to it's pretty loud

Wtf
Anthony Sullivan
What's a quality b450/x470 board for a budget ryzen 2600 build?
I was going to get the tomahawk because a lot of people recommended it, but I take it there are some issues with the board regarding zen 2 compatibility that's why a new MAX version is coming out, so I guess getting a tomahawk at this point is a bad idea.
Are all MSI boards affected by this problem? I'm only putting in a used 2600 right now, but it would be nice to have zen 2 (or maybe hopefully even zen 3) compatibility some time down the road.
I'm not planning on doing any overclocking/anything fancy with the board, I just want something reliable that has the potential to for a future zen2/potentially zen3 upgrade in the future.
