Posting my steam library again since I was originally going for the 2070 super for 4k60 but people said not to go for the cheapest one because of the build quality and those not lasting very long. Now I was wondering if I could also get 4k60 with a 5700xt combined witha 3700x. Outside of steam I'd have ff14 and Inquisition which I would also like to play at 4k60.

well the 8700x isn't really in my budget, so i guess i'll go with the r5 3600
Carter Parker
This is what competition looks like m8. Intel would have never dropped prices if it weren't for AMD. Go to /v/ if you want to start brand wars.
Ayden Lewis
3900x still sold out more than a month later, and sells out within minutes
Hunter James
I want to build a PC for gaymen but I don't want to mess about with the BIOS since I'm not that familiar with that area. How will I know that my Mobo will /justwerk/
Julian White
If Intel, you need a new mobo with every processor they release, so it will /justwerk/. If AMD, buy X570.
Jason Moore
most boards you won't need to go into the bios but you should try and figure it out a bit, there are some pretty important settings in there and the main settings are not hard to understand anymore
Why the H-E-DOUBLEHOCKEYSTICKS doesn't newegg let me order a sold out part and get on a waiting list?
Wyatt Phillips
they used to have that, and I think they maybe still do on some items, must be some kind of business development reasons they don't do it.

Get a Radeon VII brah. Your 3700x will love it like peanut butter and jelly

FUCK YOU GUYS FOR RECOMMENDING ME THE BIGGEST PILE OF SHIT MOTHERBOARD B450 TOMAHAWK. I got it to post exactly once in my 4h of trying to get the thing running. I believed you guys but when i had issues i found msi's subbreddit which is completly full of this shit. Fuck you. The motherboard sucks ass

Okay. After browsing this thread for a few days. I will now post the optimal gaymen PC for my gaymen needs. pcpartpicker.com/list/QtGdNQ Let me know if you think I should switch anything up. If anything I feel I'd be overpaying for the ram.

Luke Lewis
What the fuck are you even talking about? He's telling people to avoid AMD because it's trash, he never said anything about competition.
Leo Fisher
Of course you can get a wifi card. How do you think networking worked before they started integrating it into the mobo?
Blake Hill
why not wait for the partner cards, they're the same price and 100000000000x better than stock blower 5700

Ryan Lopez
it's for real, amd shills like to lie a lot around here and mislead people, because they care about their AMD stock more than they care about people getting something that performs good for their needs.
No you guys told me it's not a problem. You just have to update the bios thats all, you said Fuck you. Still mad as hell.

Budget APU build: is it worth the extra $30 to get the Ryzen 5 3400G over the 2400G?

At 70C my gpu fan goes to 64% and it’s loud.
If I lower the fan to 50%, it gets quiet but temps go up to around 75C. Is that ok to run at those settings?

do you think every major tech reviewer is an amd shill or what is your schizo explanation for why they overwhelmingly recommend zen 2 except in edge cases
Bentley Johnson
>t. literal Intel stock holder HI Frances.
Jonathan Young
What board have you been on? Everybody's been saying not to touch MSI B450 unless it's max because they can't optimize their roms for shit.
Jace Diaz
Look how deeply it wounds them. They spammed that benchmark for over 6 months nonstop as their "ace" and on multiple occasions it was show to be misleadint at best, yet they would post and spam it daily. They haven't lived it down to this day, getting btfo by facts.
>do you think every major tech reviewer is an amd shil maybe read the image you are replying to? It actually addresses your question But in short, no, I dont think hardware unboxed is a shill, he put it out in the open what was used and everybody who saw the video knew it. The problem is that actual shills took the benchmarks, removed all context and tried to pretend that PC builds that are 405$ apart should be compared, but you shouldn't know about it.
whats with this "no u" argument?
Kayden Hughes
Generally you shouldn't go past 85c, absolutely don't go over 95c, will probably turn itself off by 100c if not start to fry.
Jonathan Evans
Probably not, but literally no one will recommend an Intel i5. If its Intel, its either the 9700k or 9900k. The i5 has been dead since Ryzen 1st gen
Colton Flores
if the temps max out at 75-80C in stress testing everything is in order
what's you GPU

>This is the same guy who uploaded the HOLY SHIT GUYS RYZEN AT 1V video that got absolutely shit on and had to eat humble pie for nine minutes and fifteen seconds Dude's retarded, case closed.

so you post a shill cherrypicked image for the worst case, and then you post an image that debunks why you shouldn't trust cherrypicked images (exactly like you just did 1 post earlier) and then you're trying to wave away the fact that every major reviewer right now is overwhelmingly recommending amd because some random user had pricing errors in his build a year ago
Joseph Stewart
I don't think these 2 are in any way connected and invalidate his testing, none of the ryzen processors were undervolted.
Samuel Nelson
20 min vid, it will take me a while to look at it, what part do you think is bullshit?
Connor Taylor
And get it in a month+ time? I'm impatient.
Jack Davis
>so you post a shill cherrypicked image for the worst case What do you mean worst case? THe fucking intel cpu was on a stock cooler, shit ram and cheap motherboard. the ryzen system was on a water cooler, high quality ram with manual tuning and an expensive motherboard.
>and then you post an image that debunks why you shouldn't trust cherrypicked images is this the part where you pretend that different people are one, because they all think amd shills are out of hand?
>and then you're trying to wave away the fact that every major reviewer right now is overwhelmingly recommending amd because some random user had pricing errors in his build a year ago That's not what the image is about though.
Zachary Garcia
Should I wait till October for the new intel/amd cpus or should I place my order now?
Gabriel Taylor
They aren't connected that way. I'm sure in that review that none of those ryzen processors were undervolted. But he's a fucking dipshit that sensationalized incorrectly undervolted processors and published grossly misrepresented results and got dumpstered as a result. If he's too stupid to test undervolted CPUs, what makes you think he can be trusted to test regular CPUs accurately? His results are an outlier and the guy who posted them is a cum-guzzling faggot. End of story.
The i9-9900K costs 350€ where I live compared to the Ryzen 3600. With that in mind, the 21.4% - 23.7% performance hit doesn't feel so bad for mid-range needs. You could buy 2.5 Ryzen 3600's with the price of a single i9-9900K. I'm not fully comprehending AMD's lineup as the 3600 just seems to be the best value processor and it feels pointless to get any of the others.
>I DONT LIKE HIS RESULTS ON AMD >HE IS FULL OF SHIT DONT LISTEN TO HIM very rational.
Thomas Lopez
Zen 2 are the first processors that respond to undervolting in such a way that they lower their clocks, which is not indicated by monitoring software, instead of giving errors and crashes like earlier ryzens and intel cpu, so his confusion is understandable, glad he corrected it not 1 day later. Still doesn't in any way invalidate his prior testing, which showed that 3900x is slower than a 9400f.
Gabriel Martin
Whichever is 7nm is ok.
Eli Cox
>implying Jow Forums neets can into stock market
Xavier Ross
you're falling victim to the resident intel shill i had a 9400f and returned it because how horrible the stuttering was due to the lack of hyperthreading same applies to 9600k and 9700k got myself a 2600 and it's miles ahead
Kayden Miller
I can and do
Eli Morris
No sweetie, you didn't have a 9400f, making up stories won't enable poozen to magically pull ahead.
Julian Brooks
I love it when someone finally puts the drone stock holders in their place. Warms my heart when they have to resort to "no u" and their wojak folder....fucking kek
Xavier Mitchell
Nice made up story, real nice, think the goys will buy it?
Kayden Gomez
(You)
>Still doesn't in any way invalidate his prior testing If you're stupid enough to trust him after that debacle, be my guest. However, >which showed that 3900x is slower than a 9400f. He's the only one with these results. They have not been corroborated. That's why the (You) farmer above has been posting that one image and that image only, because nobody has evidence to support his claim. If the 3600x is as bad as you claim, where are all the other reviews pointing it out?
When can one expect rtx 3000 or whatever it would be called?
Jaxson Martin
I'm gonna have to buy a 2080 super because all the good 2070s are gonna be sold out forever
Isaiah Jones
youtu.be/ifIvXy1XzAU Probably not at the highest settings, though with the Super version maybe it can start to get close.
William White
see how quick he is to shill his shitty CPU his only argument when faced with actual users and not cherry picked games is "n-no i-it's n-not t-true"
Nathan Johnson
somebody has to stand up for consumers, I myself got shilled into amd by faggots from here so I am simply providing the info to save other anons from the fucking shills and zelots.
Dylan Cook
trips of truth
Jason Carter
Here you go. Every review I came across I've seen 9400f on parity with 3600 at the very least, which makes the latter redundant as it's considerably more expensive.
>make up bullshit claims of owning hardware and how you switched to something else >other guy calls you out on your shit >ah look he didn't provide evidence! What did you expect, him to stalk you and post your credit card history and purchases?
>1060 3GB >1600 >500 GB NVMe I swear the guys are just TRYING to piss me off lmao
Liam Jenkins
You're quite literally making up stories to validate your poor purchase, I don't think you're the one who can cry wolf about shills, or distinguish shilling from truth for that matter.
Angel Cooper
wtf I could have bought an Intel 6 core for less than the 200 I spent on the 3600
Christian Murphy
Not at all outside of a few scenarios
Parker Turner
B450 mortar
Jaxson Moore
Either is fine, 2080 super better again. 4k is a bit of a meme, 1440 would be better.
It's plain wrong. If you look at every other reputable reviewer, benchmarks are both intel and AMD trading blows. Most don't have intel security patches, which trims some performance, some don't have a good set up with Ryzen, mostly crap RAM or PBO off. But even with, 2700x even is withing margin of error of an 8700k stock, at 5ghz a little gap. 3600x trades and beats 9700k @5ghz and 3700x soemtimes competes with 9900k at 5, 3900x beats it outright often. At decent prices and mostly out of the box with some settings like PBO.
If a graph is showing a win for either side, outside of 5% marging of error, even 2700x vs 8700k stock. You know something is wrong.
