pcpartpicker.com/list/fBdqxG Can someone look over this build for me? It's for a friend, they're not really in to gaming but I want them to have plenty of power for the price.

James Ramirez
for someone not into gaming, they have an awfully small amount of storage
Wyatt Rodriguez
Ncase M1 v6 is happening. Getting all excited about consumerism again.
5700xt aftermarket etc. that case has issues with clearance between the gpu and psu. Everything should fit in picrelated while being half the size of the nano.
if RAM isn't listed on the qvl for your motherboard can you still use it?
Blake Parker
Numale people from Reddit don't get to have the monopoly of nice things. It's also about being autistic and giving yourself hardware challenges. For real though, it depends on the case. The ones that force you to use a riser cable to reduce width by a couple centimeters are where I draw the line.
Levi Sullivan
Need help with 140mm case fans. 2x will be used as front intakes for my meshify C case. Looking at Arctic's fans here, as they seem good from a price/performance standpoint. I've got 2 in mind:
Which one do I pick for front intake? Is there a negative in going for the high static pressure fans? It looks like they need a higher RPM to achieve the same airflow, so they might be louder. I know that you're usually supposed to go for AF fans with a mesh front, but some aerospace engineer on leddit (I know), crunched the numbers and arrived at the conclusion that you should always use high SP case fans, whenever possible.
the difference should be minimal since it has mesh in the front, in practice you are not going to notice a delta in performance but you are probably going to notice the delta in noise, if you feel more comfortable following that guy then go for it

Camden Rivera
It's an interesting build. Ignore the small-minded ones.
Kevin White
Big boy airflow, everything in one water loop, or airflow and a cpu block cooler thing?
Mason Moore
yeah just use the two fans it comes with then set up a fan curve in bios my shit is totally silent, it's amazing
FUCK itx and FUCK MID TOWERS mATX chads, where we at?
David Martin
Motherboard manufacturers are trying to kill it, sadly. It's almost dead now.
Caleb Johnson
i seriously dont understand why its the perfect size for people who want what an atx mobo can do (minus 1 or 2 pcie16 depending on the board) without needing a fuckhuge case
Jaxon Taylor
lol fuck no just enable PBO and set up a -100mV offset.
Brody Rodriguez
Which part are most likely have some degradation after being overclocked? Thinking of purchasing second hand PC (not sure if it's been OCed or not) but replace the processor with a new one. I heard OC can also degrade the RAM & motherboard.
Kayden Brooks
They're making no efforts to design and market those, so it doesn't sell. And then they blame the form factor for not selling. Master plan.
Thomas Powell
damn I guess my mate hit the silicone lottery hes got a 2600x, 4.3 all core at 1.405V
Juan King
manlet tier i bet you're a hairlet too
Tyler King
That would be nice it was a safe voltage or at all stable. 1.35 MAX or you're degrading it rapidly.
Jayden Morris
Also, the PC doesn't have any GPU. Instead or purchasing one, I'm thinking of replacing the processor to one with integrated GPU.
Anthony Taylor
I'll have you know I'm 6'5" I AM however a fscial hairlet and chest hairlet
Dylan Sanders
no wasted space you'd be surprised. Relatively negligible change in temp with cover on and off, the push/pull setup on the h75 acts as a big exhaust for the 11L enclosure.
seasonic focus plus gold 550w I saved you 20$, don't thank me.
Austin Long
Why does AMD continue to go with precision boost? Why not just let people manually OC. PB has been proven to give hardly any preformance gains and PBO doesn't really do much either except raise temps.
Nicholas Myers
What are some good, quiet, and cheap case intake fans?
Asher Diaz

I'm buying the CM h500. What I'm in for?
Jace Morris
That's an easy one. It's a fact a ridiculously large amount of users just plug and play without ever touching (or understanding) BIOS settings. That way they're still getting the performance and can leave a positive review on Amazon.
Colton Allen
How bad of an idea is to buy a Gigabyte RX 570 when my current GPU (GTX 950) reaches 75 C° in temperature, i am struggling for money and they are not selling any others over here
Ryan Gomez
a case
Blake Roberts
PB is very effective. PBO on the other hand does very little on the current AGESA. It was better pre 1.0.0.3a.
not him but would the 1300 rpm be sufficient in most situations or should I just get the 1700 and tweak the fan profile if needed? theyre the same price
Levi Cruz
Stability is the main issue there. Most people just use ccx for bechmarks.
Isaiah Green
A bit of wood will do. I use the 140mm 1300RPMs, they're fine.
Nathaniel Kelly
It's really not all it was hyped up to be. Only good if you got lucky with a golden CCX, most don't.
Brody Brown
>Sapphire Enjoy your coil whine
Angel Gonzalez
I spent 600€ for a 3700x build and I'm a joblet. Parts arent even here yet and I feel a little bit of regret
Can't you just use it to retain low thermals by running high clocks on cores 0,1 and 2? I'll admit ignorance on the subject as I haven't touched Zen 2 yet.
Camden Reed
what board do you use? we're talking zen 2 right?
Wyatt Cruz
>anti-vibration pads sold separately yeah nope, fuck these noctua jews
Jordan Hughes
He asked for cheap, still quieter than the alternatives even without them.

>x570 is plug and play >niggabyte aorus is 16mb eem rom >b450 and x470 can't get stable bioses despite also being 16mb eem rom though it was a size problem, how come msi is crancking up the max serie with 32 mb then?
>eem rom Sorry, what? btw ASUS use 32MB and they're still shit.
Gavin White
PB barely averages 4.1ghz. Having 4ghz all core clock is more consistent.
Jaxson Carter
considering going 9400f instead of 2600 because of muh gay men and not having to deal with the ram issues
any intel or amd shill can honestly give me the drawbacks of what i'm getting into i'm not ever considering doing streaming or production so you can bar that off
Blake Perez
eep rom*
Jace Moore
It's locked. To make it worthwhile value you need a cheap mobo that doesn't support XMP. No opportunity to upgrade ever, you'd need a while new setup. 6 threads is very short-sighted. If you don't care about any of that it'll be fine for year or two until next gen console ports come.
Ryder Flores
theyre both alright if its solely for gaymen then the 9400f is your man
Landon Jenkins
objectively speaking, whats the best 3200cl16 ram for zen+, specifically a 2600x
Luke Carter

Jason Morales
5700xt is better
Jace Reed
How does it feel that no one is buying intel no matter how hard you try to shill for them?
