Dominic Fisher
Which cooler fits that board?
Jackson Gomez
>5700xt get a 2070 super if you can
Kayden Robinson
That board should fit the cooler. If not just get the Noctua NH-U12
Dylan Adams
Any PC case recommendations?
Camden Gomez
Got any charts on how they compare against each other? I'd be fine shilling out the extra for it but I don't wanna pay £100 extra for an extra 5 fps difference
Austin Morgan
why the difference in performance doesn't justify the price bump, my as well get myself a 2080 super if i wanted a real increase
Nathan Williams
too vague
Ethan Gomez
does anyone have that new lg 27? 2k ips monitor? looking to get one to replace my 4k one.
also is the 5700xt a good upgrade over the v64?
Tyler Hughes
didnt realize it was so much more expensive, buddy got one for 450 USD, mustve jumped
Brandon Collins
ATX mid tower with good airflow
Zachary Parker
Yeah, over in the UK we get cucked hard
Noah Edwards
meshify c/s2, lian li o11 air, or h500m
Jonathan Stewart
No. I would wait a lot longer before upgrading the Vegas 64 because it’s a very good card.
Elijah Murphy
Why are only 2 aib 5700xt available in Canada? (Sold out still) Wtf is this shit?! I want the goddamn thicc model Idgaf about performance between them, they're all 5700 xt
Become a YouTuber and you’ll get AIB ones free and weeks before average consumers get one as well.
Caleb Mitchell
>Why are only 2 aib 5700xt available in Canada? (Sold out still) because nvidias price gouging has left tons of people waiting to upgrade
Camden Peterson
that coolermaster cooler isn't really any better than the stock one, you probably want to either not bother or to get something else. otherwise looks good though.
Liam Ward
>3600X don't pay for a letter
Isaac Nguyen
I thought the X series didn't come with a cooler?
Kayden Peterson
Meshify C
Justin Brooks
what this user said go for noctua or bequiet
Zachary Gomez
I would also research the motherboard you’re getting because I’ve heard some MSI x570 boards don’t work with the 3700 so maybe you’ll need to look at the gigabyte one you have.
Ayden Bailey
There is not 3700 non x on pcpp sadly. If one even exists
it comes with a cooler, if you aren't spending around 30-40+ gbp you probably won't get something better than stock you don't really need it for temps it will be mostly to quiet down the case noctua and be quiet are the safe go-tos though
Noah Reyes
Ahh, cool, will just keep the stock cooler then
Robert Peterson
I was too slow last thread.
So, is a 1440p 144hz build from scratch (no case/monitor/peripherals) feasible for under 1500USD yet? I haven't had anything other than a shitty laptop and a phone for like 6 years and would really like to get back into a dedicated gaming/workstation, but I'm definitely out of the loop on what hardware is good and for what.
Leo Butler
that's the MB I got, just waiting on my Noctua to build
Gabriel James
Alright I'm setting up a channel now but I only have a phone camera Do they care if I have subscribers?
Henry Thomas
Lol u serious?
Juan Stewart
No? I'm gonna go ahead and say no.
Lincoln Johnson
Honestly I want the card so bad I'd try anything Anybody in Vancouver wanna sell there red devil for +$100? I'm only comfortable meeting somewhere on the freeway where nobody can see what we're doing without pulling over I definitely won't stab you
Ethan Roberts
Looking for new monitor, saw that the Philips 276E8VJSB was on sale.
>27" IPS 4K 60hz (no sync) >249€
Its a freaking great deal, but it might as well be a waste of money since its not optimized for gaming nor does it even support vesa stands in case I'll use it in a dual monitor config. But it does fit in nicely economically, since this upgrade is just meant to be a placeholder until the next generation of 4K 144hz monitors hits the shelves (the ones that will feature DP 2.0).
I have a 1080p 144hz TN right now. Should I really?
Stick with your TN for now and wait for other options to arrive.
Mason James
What do you guys think of the Samsung Odyssey+ at $300? Any good?
Xavier Richardson
Enthoo Pro.
Elijah White
Lian Li TU100
Robert Torres
Air cooling or water cooling? what form factor MB do you have?
Hudson Moore
get it delivered to seattle and drive over
Luke Gutierrez
only reason i ask is because im trying to go simracing in the near future and dunno if a v64 will cut it for multimonitor
Luis Hernandez
Which ITX chipset should I go with?
X470 or X570?
Ian Gomez
What pricepoint am I looking at then? I'm pretty accustomed to using a 120hz 4k television (one of the Samsung ks9000 series I think) with HDR, and I would prefer that my pc experience be somehow superior to it beyond response time without being the price of a car. 1440p 144hz seemed like a good option for that.
Ask reddit they fell for the cpu less meme and have the same issues
Liam Garcia
but wont that means they dont have the solution as well?
Parker Jones
I'm not seeing much reviews about the 5700 XT from XFX (the THICC or whatever it's named). Is it better or equivalent to the Pulse? It's the only one in stock around here.
Jose Howard
>I'm not seeing much reviews about the 5700 XT from XFX (the THICC or whatever it's named) >It's the only one in stock around here Just got released, that's why.
Wyatt Ward
I'm just surprised there is no tech reviewers that got one in advance to test it. Especially with the memey name.
Parker Long
they will have run through more possible solutions.
Anthony Jackson
The manual says the same as their website
Caleb Price
It apparently uses a steel plate for the RAM that has little contact with the heatsink. I suspect it wouldn't have faired well in any sort of somewhat serious thermal testing. Meanwhile it looks good and has a memetic name, so who needs to actually send it to reviewers?
Angel Bailey
gib rundown on the y2k bug for a zoomer how did people survive it, i assume internet wasn't super common then so it couldn't have been via an update?
Are the saved part lists on PCPartPicker still good? Mainly looking at the 1440p mid range list: pcpartpicker.com/user/pcbg/saved/#view=m2GJVn and is 1440p really much better than 1080 for gayming, or should I just save money on it and stick to 1080?
Josiah Thomas
It's not "much" better, but it's noticeably better. You'd notice high refresh rate a bit more.
Owen Morales
looks for a decent case that's under $50. no gay rgb, don't care if it looks like it's from 2005 but it needs atx mobo support. help
Gabriel Jones
dont trust anything in pcb's op lol
Nathaniel Barnes
Will I be able to get an HDMI 2.1 signal through a thunderbolt cable using the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 board, along with some peripherals using some hub or dock?
Henry Williams
What is the best barebones PC with MXM slot someone could buy today?
you arent going to get real answers for something that niche here, you better ask on a dedicated forum
Wyatt Sanchez
because of forces superior to the brain damage i have, i believe in the RTX memery and i dont think ill be able to avoid a GPU upgrade
so i want a entry level rtx. might even do a upgrade to a 1440p75 monitor, but because my games are not particularly demanding im also thinking about a 144hz version
Christopher Taylor
I believe in RTX, I just wouldn't buy a card because of RTX. Half a decade too early.
Justin Sanders
is that a gayming plus and an old kingston stick? thats literally the same one as i got thursday fat32 is a must, that also means that the partition of the usb stick should be less than 13gb, to be safe a made a 8gb partition and it worked flawlessly ( tried using a generic usb adapter for a m2 that i use for tools and what not, it didnt recognize it aka happaned the same thing as your picture)
Cameron Thompson
MXM is so niche its not worth it unless you are into it or you need its specific special snowflake answer
do like most of us and get a pcie riser cable or a 90 degreee angle PCIE slot adapter
Blake Ross
are the new 5700 xt red devils out yet
Luis Harris
they're """"""""""out"""""""""""" but nobody can find any to buy
Lincoln Miller
Are there any news regarding 3900X availability, especially in Europe? This shit supposedly released about 1.5 months ago and they're still essentially impossible to find. The only 3900X I can buy is currently priced at an utterly insane $1066. I'm getting fed up with waiting and just grabbing a 9900K is growing more tempting by the day, especially considering how X570 motherboards are also more expensive than Z390 for the same feature set.
Brayden Reyes
I also believe in rtx but the performance hit is so big you won't really get to use it for another few generations anyways, you can just upgrade in 2-3 years
but I understand buypigging and will probably get some dumb shit like a 2080 ti super if it comes out in time for my 3950x build (or threadripper?)
Michael Sanders
MSI Ventus, Founder's Edition or anything from EVGA. Choose whichever of these is cheapest.
