Reminder to everyone being annoyed at fans ramping up and down for ryzen 3000, switch to the windows power saving mode, temp stays glued to 38c if you're just browsing the web.
In the middle is the ryzen balanced, to the right is power saving mode.
I have realized even though I've bought most of my components for my pc, I dont know if I'll be able to get internet on it. 3 floor house including basement, router is in the living room next to the cable box for TV. My room upstairs doesnt have the best table for the 27 inch monitor I ordered so I might put it in the basement and stay cool. Regardless of where I put my setup, I'm not sure how I'm going to wire the net without making a tripping hazard or ugly wall wiring. I require advice and tips, or maybe a good cheap wifi card recommendation, using a b450 tomahawk
What's the chance that the red devil cards will be in stock within the next 5 to 12 hours in canada? I'm going on a road trip and I dont have any cellular data.
Ayden Gray
let me just call up the distributor and ask
Jason Martinez
sapphire pulse = pulse nightclub aka mega gay and you'll get shot up for using it. also probably runs slower Red devil= Evil power. probably enslaves your soul for eternity. tradeoff is the 33% performance boost because it has 33% more fans than the pulse You decide
Intel is still the way to go right? I fell for the AMD meme last time I built a PC, but I see a lot of sites recommending Ryzen.
Owen Myers
Oh shit I forgot to add one but I was going to buy a 500gb nvme
Angel Taylor
AMD...never again
Alexander Fisher
Wait... You mean to tell me I can order a reference card then refund it and buy the aib when it is in stock? Isn't it just exchange for the same item? Is this even legal?
Connor Miller
AMD has the best memes Intcel can't compete with "poozen"
Samuel Mitchell
There's a reason my new Ryzen 2700 is sitting unplugged in the floor in the other room while I'm still happily on my old i7 4790 in here. Go Intel.
Hunter Taylor
>There's a reason my new Ryzen 2700 is sitting unplugged in the floor in the other room while I'm still happily on my old i7 4790 in here. >Go Intel. What reason?
Nathaniel Thomas
So what is the reason?
Eli Walker
There's a ryzen people are switching to AMD
Hunter Hall
9700k is underpowered threadlet hardware, shill
Fine. Worse than a 5700/XT, but fine.
lmao nice HDD and monitor
There's a reason that AMD is outselling Intel 4:1.
Jacob Brooks
Gay retard here again. Can I use my old graphics card on my b450 while I wait for 5700xt? Pic related, my old graphics card..
Say I have only one PC decent enough to play and stream though software. It's AMD. How many cores do I actually need? Which software should I use, OBS or AMD's ReLive?
I use relive for capturing moments that already happened. They cache it to ram as well so I actually have a use for 16gb. I use obs for streaming or recording longplays
Leo Powell
Should be able to use most old hardware as long as the connectors match up. Just depends on what you want to use it for.
Jaxon Diaz
Well shoot then I'm going to buy everything else right away so nothing sells out on me
Bentley Roberts
As long as it has UEFI support, obviously yes.
Juan Campbell
I want to put something together so I know it all works Then I can play some old games like tf2 while I wait for availability of the 5700 xt aib cards
Joshua Howard
0 I have no idea
Grayson Cook
>old games >tf2 fuck I'm a geezer
Carson Murphy
this is what i currently have but recently whenever i play overwatch, gta v or doom, the frame rate tends to drop especially when i quickly go back to firefox to switch songs while im playing. whats the first thing i should replace to stop that?
>whats the first thing i should replace to stop that? the everything
Brayden Martinez
Its an 11 year old game now user...
Jonathan Lopez
Is a Scythe Mugen 5 the best cooler for the 3600?
Nicholas Williams
just 1 8gb ddr3. i still dont feel comfortable at the fact that it doesnt have a cover on it like how i see on every other stick of RAM.
easier said than done but im a NEET, so i cant just replace everything at once. id rather just upgrade as much as i can little by little
Isaac Diaz
Have you tried using a real browser?
Daniel Brown
bullshit my friends a neet and gets 2k/month in autism bux you can build a computer twice as good for under $500
John Jenkins
Not all neets get disability. I don't either
Evan Robinson
>Not all neets get disability. I don't either well go get it, then it's a lot less effort than getting a job, and once you're on it it's really hard to lose it
Jayden Thompson
how the fuck? i dont think i have autism though.
Bentley Clark
it's really easy. all you have to do is "pass" (fail) a psych exam just don't make eye contact, don't answer any questions about how things make you feel
Noah Davis
I already tried and would have to sue.
John Perry
im in america, user. disability only applies to actual retards or actual fucked up people. even my hoarder insane grandma didnt get approved for any disability bux
Thomas Perry
If your happy with your fps in game, why not just use media keys or an autohotkey script to change songs? Also it might not happen if you weren't using full screen. CPU Upgrade would be the first thing to replace though. While they are technically quad core, they are more comparable to hyper-threaded dual cores because there is only one cache for every 2 cores. Back when I had a FX-4100 I had it overclocked at 4.6ghz no problem with a Hyper 212.
Luke Jones
>just 1 8gb ddr3. get another one 8gb one, that why you drop frames when using Firefox and Spotify.
Joseph Sullivan
i dont use spotify, im not a normie. only youtube, vimeo and occasionally soundcloud
Jaxson Nelson
Use Chrome like everyone else. Chrome won't play the video in the background if it's not the active tab.
Christopher Ross
Anyone know where I can get an AM4 bracket for an H100i v2 outside of $12 on ebay? I don't have $12.
Juan Morales
Email corsair?
Andrew Thomas
Mill one yourself
Connor Cox
>Chrome Good goy! Give in to the jewgle overlord!
Gabriel Reed
there is internet over powerline, for example by devolo it works with almost same speed as using a cable however, the adapters tend to break after a year of use
still better than a repeater, which will give you shit speed
Evan Campbell
Anybody have an alternative for the lg gl850 that just came out? I just built my pc and dont have a monitor yet. Using an i7 and an rx 5700 xt.
Nathan Brooks
i use chrome too but theres not much of a difference. hell, just doom can be the only thing thats active and frames will still drop especially when theres a fuckton of demons throwing projectiles. same issue with overwatch but its not as frequent
Kevin Moore
ive been using firefox only recently because anons on this board and /3/ give me shit for it so i thought of trying it out
Asher Bennett
They show out of stock on their web page. ($4.99)
Christopher Campbell
id be happy if it stayed at around 60 or a little higher and wont dip when theres a lot going on on-screen. also like i said i listen to songs not through apps but by searching on youtube or soundcloud. i dont have a playlist and when i switch back and forth between chrome/firefox to my games, i get a fuckton of lag for about 30-60 seconds till it starts to smoothen back out
Josiah Cruz
I agree with the other guy about adding another 8 gb stick. Not only will you have the additional memory, but it will comunicate faster because there is the throughput of two sticks instead of one.
Isaac Turner
yeah probably. whatd be the best one to get? should i buy a 16gb stick? and what brand?
Camden Hughes
Get another 8 gb stick. You want it to be the same or as close to it as the other stick. If you can just buy another one of what's already in there.
Nathan Barnes
Just bought a 4k monitor , i have an amd 570 (lol). I hope this thing scales decently back to 1080 , if not i can still code , play 2d stuff and watch movies in glorious 4k. Waiting for a better price for the 5700xt , its 430 yurobucks and no stock atm for the decent saphire. The reference trash still sits at 450 for some reason.
Daniel Mitchell
I'm not sure it's worth him putting even $25 into that system. He can probably sell it as-is for $150. You can pick up an XPS 8300 with an i7 2600 for $165 on ebay and a GTX 970 for $100. The stock PSU in the XPS 8300 will handle a 970 (I just put one in today), and it has good cooling as well.
Parker Lee
Yea I was thinking purely from the stand point of upgrading what he already has.
Michael Sanchez
Open your case and look at the brand and the timings. Type that in. Since you had a prebuilt, you may find that exact one for a decent price.
Try sending an email. Did you buy the cooler used or did you break yours? If you bought it new, 5 year warranty. Just replaced my H110 through them 2 weeks before 5 years, and they sent me a H115i RGB.
Seriously, email them.
Sebastian Lewis
I got it out of recycling with no backplate at all. Then I found an Alienware Aurora R1 and got a backplate from its cooler for LGA 1366. (and if I can figure out a way to refill an AIO I have another 120mm cooler as well)
I sent off an email.
Ian Peterson
Honestly fuck both Nvidia AND AMD for giving me the choice of either buying the overpriced 2070 super or NO 5700xt at all because they're all fucking sold out.
bet you just set everything to auto in bios like a retard
Parker Ramirez
im worried that if i replace the motherboard ill have to reinstall windows 10 all over again (yeah yeah i know microkike 10). thats why im trying to just upgrade everything but that
Nicholas Morgan
>ignores to post the fact it's LN2 kys
Oliver Murphy
reminder to report concern trolling and people spreading FUD to gaslight others
Ethan Brooks
there is no brand name or anything, in fact it has no case on the stick. since it was prebuilt i think the RAM stick was just assembled to go with the setup.
should i just buy two sticks of 8gb and replace the one that i have currently?
You dont have to, but its a good thing to do just to ensure that there are no driver issues since you need to clean out your old system's ones. Its also recommended to do a fresh windows install every once in a while just to get rid of all scrap files from older versions.
Mobo upgrades are a hassle.
Jace Collins
patriot, apparently. also it wont go back in now :/
