>Navi AIB models come mid-August. 5700 non-XT blower is alright, due to low power.

Anyone used the Acer Nitro VG271UP? Tempted to grab it as £350 here in the UK. I've also seen the XV272UP which is apparently near identical but has a better stand.
Josiah Gomez
(you) how many times will you post that same picture lmao
David Rodriguez
One that doesn't require you to screw blind through the heatsink on a single stack heatsink of all things (lol)
Jeremiah Phillips
>how many times will you post that same picture lmao
>game >not GPU bound how retarded are you? do you enjoy playing on 320p low just to masturbate to frame rates?
Cooper King
Smug x370 bro here. Not as smug as before. >launching Ryzen Master silently crashes my computer and reboots it >had to remove it from startup to boot again not like I need it anyways but I wonder why that doesn't work
Parker Ward
happens eventually, maybe not if you upgrade every 5 years
I replaced my 2500k this year and it had been struggling to keep up in some games for the past five years
Jaxson Peterson
I posted in the last one but I was pretty late to the party. Anyway, is there any danger in removing the plastic latch on a 24 pin connector? It's currently obstructing a fan by about 1mm.
Leo Moore
how can I check if used GPU is what the seller says it is? I know nothing about computers.
Ian Ramirez
>Anyway, is there any danger in removing the plastic latch on a 24 pin connector? You make it harder to ebay your PSU. Can you ziptie the fan or put it elsewhere and buy a slim fan?
Jeremiah Hughes

Joshua Rodriguez
People getting 3700x are you getting after market coolers or sticking with the wraith prism?
Good to know that spending $3000 on my PC will make Intel a good deal. Gotta get the most out of my budget, you know?
Jaxson Lewis
The human eye can't see past 30 fps anyway.
Xavier Lewis
It's already a 92x14mm, and the case is too small to even put that anywhere else. And the psu is modular, so I could always order a replacement I guess. I'm more concerned about whether the connector would be at risk of coming out from regular usage
the fuck jews pushed it up to 169$ then discounted it again to 123$ instead of 129$
Chase Miller
I doubt it it's pretty much a friction fit. If you don't mind the small risk of fire hazard add some electrical tape.
Christopher Martin
This is irrelevant to real life situations. I'm not a streamer myself so i'm not familiar with the particular presets, but my friend streams from a 9900K and his viewers are consistently getting 60 fps.
Chase Lee
Nobody really buys intel so who cares
Connor Lewis
recommend me a good 24" 1080p monitor that can hit 120hz at least and is good value and reliable
AOC c24g1 It's what I use and it's pretty damn good for a really good price
Oliver Fisher
Yeah, only a huge majority of general consumers, as well as everyone building a high end gaming rig or interested in old or heavily singlethreaded games.
Dominic Smith
is aoc reliable? i mean in long term 7-8 years? never heard of this brand
Alexander Hernandez
Looks good to me. :^)
Problem is if I were a buyer on a tight budget I would buy a 2600 for $120 instead, they're the same price...
The 2700K came out in 2011 and still btfos Ryzen in 99% of games.
You'd have to go back to 2009.
William Edwards
>WoW Classic pretty sure you could play that with a $5 GPU and a strong CPU unless WoW's changed recently there's always soundproofing foam but it won't work that well since you can't get complete encasement. what part's bothering you? if it's something common like a CPU heatsink just replace it.
Alexander Myers
>I'm also adding a HDD. I was gonna say this right now, you can live with 500gb but you will force your ssd to the limit in a couple of months, go get any seagate 2tb HDD and you are good, if you can get a Noctua for the same price I'll suggest you go for it instead, cooler and quiter for like 10 bucks more
Asher Watson
I had this crazy idea of putting the pc tower in the next room and just drill some holes into the wall, probably adding something like a USB external port and some way to turn it on remotl
Mine sounds like a jet engine trying to lift off when I turn it on, im really considering Silent Noctua fans but I dont know if that will make the cut
Muh cores would be nice but this’ll be 90% gaming machine. 27” monitor because my shit eyes can’t see lil people on a 24” and I’d rather slightly stretch 1080p than do 1440p performance destroyer rig again
No idea, i've had the monitor for around 2 years now and i've got no issues outside of a tiny amount of backlight bleed that i've had since day 1.
Aaron Cruz
don't care about your benchmarks mate i'm talking about what i have in front of my eyes intel really dropped the ball when they decided to disable hyperthreading hopefully they wont make the same mistake with 10th gen
Blake Sanders
Breddy gud, but get the Meshify C instead. It's literally just the same case but with better airflow.
Parker Flores
your graph literally has it losing against first edition ryzen 3. moron
>some way to turn it on remotl that's easy shit, most motherboards support wake over ethernet >Mine sounds like a jet engine trying to lift off when I turn it on, I'm curious about what shit you're using. I've been using the stock Wraith Stealth cooler while I'm getting new coolant for my water cooler and I legit can't even hear it.
William Howard
user you have to underatand intel fanboys are in the denial/anger phase.
I understand. Ignoring the benchmarks makes coping easier.
Isaac Hughes
instead of getting your flashy G. Skillz sticks dont cheap out in your SSD, and consider adding an aditional HDD because recording shit can eat a lot of GB very quickly
I cant give an opinion in your monitor bro, good luck with that
Eli Perez
It's running at stock clocks, moron. An overclocked 2700K would easily get 110 fps and an overclocked 9900K would get you 160
Nathaniel Hall
is geforce 1660 the 1080p industry standard?
Jonathan Roberts
stop shitposting kiddo you clearly don't have a cpu that was built in the past 10 years
Don't look at the benchmarks guys. Trust me instead, totally not an AMD shill, when I say that Ryzen (TM) delivers the best multitasking gaming experience.
Tyler Sanchez
your benchmark is always showing far cry 5 try doing that with different games and you'll see for yourself rajeet
Michael Cox
All the kaby lake buyers have pretty much swore to themselves to never buy intel ever again after that scam.
Logan Murphy
All of this shitposting could be avoided if you updated the OP properly. 9900K is the actual overkill option and binned 9900K is the "i want the best gaming PC possible" opton.
Nolan Anderson
Wait for him to cherry pick ONE game out of 50 where intel barely wins.
Michael Edwards
I'm just gonna get this and not worry about PC stuff anymore.
