I'm not sure whether this is better for /sqg/ or here so I'm just going to ask here. For the past month or so my video output will switch between only coming from my motherboard HDMI output and my videocard HDMI output. Like I might wake up my computer one morning and realize my monitor is receiving no signal and have to switch where the HDMI cable is plugged in. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be that's causing this? Am I going to have to replace my motherboard?
It's not too big of a problem since I don't play videogames very much anymore, but having to sometimes settle for plugging into the motherboard and using my CPU's built in graphics is annoying.
Reminder to all Eurofriends, please be aware that when AMD is usually recommended for best value, your market is not taken into account, considering that your prices are much different than U.S prices. Obviously, if the Nvidia counterpart is cheaper, purchase that card.
David Jackson
anything about i5 9400f?
Carson Thomas
Broken drivers isnt okay
Nathan Hernandez
Its a based gaming cpu
Eli Reyes
both nvidia and amd have the EU VAT markup, the gap is kept the same please stop talking about things you have no clue about you utter retard
About to pull the trigger on this n--ice case. It's a Silentium Regnum RG4T which is polish (I'm not, but I live in yurop anyways so it's not uncommon to have these things accessible).
Does anyone happen to own this? How good is it? On the surface it has every feature I need, looks really good and is affordable but I'd like to know if there's something I'm overlooking.
>pcpartpicker.com/list/CCYCBb kinda low end motherboard there also you should go for at least 3600mhz ram, better 4000 case is also kinda low end also get a Lenovo Legion Y27gq-2 for actual max frames monitor

my 3200c14 ripjaws are not stable on xmp I even increased the voltage and my computer still fails to post every other boot what software do I use to test the sticks?

Monitor: -Waiting for review of LG 27gl850
PC parts: -CPU: RYZEN 7 3700X -GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2070 Super -MB: X570 Aorus Elite -Storage1: 970 Evo (250GB) -Storage2: 860 Evo ( 1TB) 2.5" SATA -RAM: Not sure which brand as want CPU might benefit from specific manufacturers but up to 32GB, maybe 16GB -Cooling: NH-D15 Dual Radiator -Case: Corsair OBSIDIAN 500D
Price: -Plan to fit in ~1800-2300£ range
Still unsure about a few components, would be great to hear what others think. So -GPU and MB custom versions. Both 2070 and x570 have number of custom editions and I am not sure which ones would work best performance/price wise. -Monitor. Aiming at 2K 144Ghz monitor. Waiting for LG27gl850, however have a feeling that it will be trash so need some nice backup plan
Grayson Clark
he is right, you know 5700xt red devil are ridiculously priced in europe might as well spend a little more for a card that performs better in games while being quieter and less hot
Ryder Jones
>lying on the internet when people can check for themselves seek medical help or just neck yourself
there's a 150-200 eur gap between a 3 fan 2070 super and the red devil >NOOOOOOOOOOO you were supposed to compared high end 5700xt to low end 2070 super
I’m new to this, could I please get some opinions? I’m shooting for a 1440p 144hz gaming/entertainment build for around $2,000 USD including monitor. I want to get the red devil 5700xt when it’s in stock but couldn’t find it on the site to add it to the current parts list. I’m going for a 570 motherboard because frankly I don’t want to deal with the compatibility issues with the older ones.
Also, does anyone have a good 1440p 144hz freesync monitor recommendation? If I used the distance chart right, I’m looking for a 32 inch. Maybe the AOC CQ32G1? I don’t know if it’s shit. I wouldn’t mind going a bit overbudget for a good monitor since It’ll be a while before I buy a new one.
Finally, I know nothing about cases. I don’t really need it to look like HAL 9000 or anything, I just want something that fits the parts and has good airflow etc.
Thanks in advance for help with any of this.
Levi Allen
how does that conflict with >might as well spend a little more for a card that performs better in games while being quieter and less hot ?
Christopher James
if you spend a little more you end up with a garbage KFA2 that doesn't cool enough and end up losing clock speed over time no one benchmarks a 2070super with a garbage bin card because they know it's not representative of the power of the chip, but the people that think that a kfa2 or galax will give them the same performances as the cards that are being benchmarked need to be warned
Adrian Morgan
>a 1440p 144hz gaming/entertainment build for around $2,000 USD that might be a bit too little with a decent monitor
Bentley Johnson
mate obviously you buy a 600€ 2070 super and not one of the cheap ones it feasible when a red devil is like 550€
Charles Richardson
performance and temp wise there is little to no difference between a pulse @450 eur and a red devil @550 might as well get the pulse and save 150 eur from the cheapest acceptable 2070 super
Evan Kelly
Will 3600 work fine with this mobo and RAM? I'm really concerned with RAM compatibility and I heard some people weren't able to start XMP on cheap mobos.
fuck off nigger, i got a 2080 super almost brand new @ 650 eur from a retard that upgraded to a 2080 ti i don't see the point of lying on the internet to shill for free and induce people in buyers remorse, if that's your coping mechanism to face the fact that you were uniformed at the day of your purchases, please refrain from dragging others with you
Ive had my gl27850 for a weak. Its based af. Rtings has a review of it. They said its based af
Connor Perry
3600 is better and will last longer
Isaac Edwards
You dont have to play on ultra settings
Jose Cruz
>1080p
Henry Ortiz
actually I checked and I literally couldn't find any other 32" monitor with low ms, except for the AOC one you already stated
Luke Lee
You are right but it's still not easy on modern games even on lowest settings its good to have realistic expectations
Jackson Smith
Yeah i mean i dont like going below high settings. Some settings thank for fps for no real good reason like msaa
David White
Can you give me a link to that review?
Elijah Richardson
What settings for the graph
Ethan Lee
Been out of the loop for a couple of months now because I've been waiting for the new LG monitors to come out before I start deciding on a computer build for gayming.
Plan on grabbing a pair of LG 27GL850-B 1440p IPS monitors. Currently have a r5 1600, 1050 ti, 16 gb RAM & 2666 mhz. What are my options? I was planning on getting a 2070 originally, but is the 2070 super worth it? Also planned on grabbing a Ryzen 7 3800X, 3200 mhz 16gb ram. Thoughts?
Jonathan Rogers
Thanks for the charts. I don't necessarily have to maximize frames/graphics so it seems like the red devil might be good enough for the price range I'm in?
I wouldnt worry about the cpu at the moment. I would get the 2070 super and see how things go from there
Mason Edwards
Asking in the new thread. Rivatuner has stopped working with cs go for some reason, but still works with my other games. Anyone else have this issue, or know how to solve it?
Cooper Stewart
Have you tried simply reinstalling or updating the version?
Evan Sullivan
How about the Dell 27 inch TN 1440p 144hz one?
Nolan Collins
I'll have to try and find some 1440p benchmarks for the zen CPUs because I really don't want to have a bottleneck. And I can't get my zen 1600 past 4.0ghz for the extra frames too. But yeah I think I'll heed your advice. I hate having to do a fresh windows install after all.
Aiden Carter
In not familiar with it
Matthew Fisher
Lads my 970 died, should I get a 5700XT AIB or a standard non-super 2070 (supers cost like $150-200+ more than the 5700xt where I live and the 2070 reg is slightly more money than the 5700xt).
I wouldnt worry about it, 1440p is already very difficult to push 200 fps in games with so the 1600 shouldnt be a bottleneck except in certain fucky games. If its been fine for you at 1080p so far it likely will continue to do fine
Jaxon Nelson
Hey bros, PC noob here so I hope i can get a good advice.
Planning to use a dual PC streaming setup and trying to build a cheap streaming PC atm. The sole purpose of this PC is to stream, so I don´t need a GPU.
My current thoughts are something like this: CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Capture Card: Avermedia Live Gamer HD 2 Mainboard: MSI PRO-E AMD A320 HDD: 1000GB Seagate BarraCuda RAM: 8GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4 Power Supply: 450 Watt Corsair CX Series CX450 Case: AeroCool CS-102 Micro-ATX
Its about 400 bucks which is my budget. What do you think about it? Any suggestion or opionions?
Nathaniel Campbell
Has anyone used an xc ultra card? Is the 3 slot a meme or does it actually cool well?
Alexander Allen
Yeah, I re-installed it and it still doesn't show. I've fixed it now by changing the frame rate in the developer console thingy. I'm good now, thanks.
Kayden Clark
>being a corelet in 2019 >buying AMD GPUs in 2019 Hope y'all niggas aren't retarded
Ethan Garcia
I have a 8 core 16 thread cpu but all I do is 4chin, do I need to upgrade?
Jonathan Ward
>What's wrong with gigabyte wifi cards? I was gonna get one of those. Was wondering the same.
Luke Lopez
For that much of a price difference the 5700xt seems like the only reasonable choice
Ryan Young
Depends how broken the drivers are. I cant get a straight answer out of anyone about how bad it is
Luke Peterson
I have a 60hz 1600x1200 monitor lol so yeah what I have has never been truly tested.
Hudson James
gotta go 32 core, bro
Cooper Powell
Assuming that all else is equal, IPS or VA?
Nathaniel Watson
It really depends on what you want. Also va is cheaper, generally
Connor Williams
IPS unless there's a good deal or you gotta go fast.
Luke Anderson
Tftcentral also has a review
Dominic Russell
As a follow up to this post, I'm now considering just getting a better case and/or CPU cooler. I'm satisfied enough with these improved framerates after OC'ing that buying a new processor/gpu just to get a slightly more stable 60fps wouldn't justify it. I'll worry about that with more taxing games in the future.
My main concern now is temps and fan noise. So I'm looking at an ATX Sharkoon M25-W (case) and a Cryorig H7 (cooler). Anyone know if these are any good? Is a case that can pack an extra fan at the front (3 total) worth it?
Bros, i got a pretty fucking old monitor, is it really worth it to buy a newer one with better color quality and such? Its 2k a meme?
Jose Stewart
VA
John Harris
lads blogpost here. I just need a GPU to complete my new system but the retards at AMD can't produce proper stock to save their lives
I'm pretty close to saying fuck the 5700xt and buying a 2070s instead
talk me out of it. I really want a 5700xt, it's cheaper and better in games I play, but $100 doesn't matter to me but waiting 2-3 weeks for a GPU does
Jaxon Reyes
did one pass with memtest86 and found no issues while on xmp also found this forum.gigabyte.us/thread/7341/boot-problems-after-unplugged-elite turns out there are a lot of people with the same issue, seems to be some bios issue effecting all the new ryzen cpus guess I'll just wait for another bios update
Jonathan Ross
>i have to be a patreon to see the review Well thanks lol
Nicholas Kelly
How do I use RGB aesthetically rather than rainbow vomit? Case has a window so I might as well use it.
I mostly play battlefield, which is where the 5700xt destroys the 2070s, but yeah overall the 2070s is better
if there was evga stock I probably would buy a 2070s right now, but those are also oos everywhere
why are pc components always so limited in stock?
Tyler Powell
looking for recommendations for a good 1440p 144hz screen. my other two screens are 24' but i would consider a 27' screen. anyone have any suggestions?
Chase Baker
VA is a fucking meme garbage worse than fast TN.

Charles Parker
What do you guys think? PC components are still too pricey these days man $600 for older components idk
Fuck, I didn't even change thermal interface after using it for ~5 years. Well if it dies I'll have to buy 2080s/2080ti.
Jaxon King
I'm in the same boat. The strong point of the 5700xt was supposedly good price to performance compared to nvidia. But when it's not available anywhere, and the EU pricing puts the partner cards close to 2070s territory anyway, the advantage is lost.
