what it like, living like this?
ive never bought anything "on credit", and ive never taken out a loan of any kind
if something is too expensive, i either wait and save my money up, or just wait for the price to drop (especially if its a depreciating asset, like a car, or pc components)

I can't believe this has to be said but never let someone pressure you into going into fricking debt for frivolous purchases
the frick is genuinely wrong with you? >I've been peer pressured by Ganker and I listen to Ganker advice
it's either listen to people on here or get spammed with youtube/reddit grifters all day, despite this place being a shithole i've gotten more help here than anywhere, my credit went from 530 to the at least 680 in over a year.
as for being pressured, where else can someone go and share budge build without getting called a poorhomosexual every 10 seconds?
do you fall for scams hourly? you should reconsider your life considerably if you're taking out loans to buy hardware promoted by your favorite vtubers
You buy shit on credit that you could buy without credit, then you pay it on time. You built up a credit score over time so you can get a car or a house with reasonable interest rates instead of getting fricked by having no credit. This is risk free because any credit card debt you pay on time will accrue no interest, so it's the exact same as buying it without credit except you build up your score and possibly get some rewards too.
You should get a card as soon as possible, and only use it to buy things you need that you could afford today. Never use it to buy shit you can't pay for in the exact moment you make the transaction, and you'll never pay a dime in interest. There's no reason not to do it.
I do it all the time. Buy stuff on interest free credit. It costs me literally nothing, my savings account and pension grow at the same rate as before, I get the thing I want, and my credit rating improves over time. I don't want to stop putting money in the mortgage fund or the pension, and I don't mind small nuggets of interest free debt. I certainly don't want to spend savings
not sure why people think credit is an evil invention if you know how to use it and how to use it right it can be beneficial, Always treat it like a debit card, don't spend what you can't payback/ afford. Plus if you open a new account they usually do 15 or so months no apr so even if you can't make a full payment a partial one isn't going to put you in debt just NEVER not pay it and have a late fee it fricks with your credit score 10x worse. Also be weary of utilization

lol no, Ganker here, you are fricking moronic
He enjoys video games enough to the extent that he got fired from his tv show for knowing more lore than the writers and forcing them to respect the source material.
No he's not a poser, it's not his fault that s o y Black folk eat him up because he likes fantasy and video games and also happen to be a successful actor.
How much of a gay do you need to be to call out someone for being a poser for the most loser hobby there is? It's video games, not skating or basketball or something like this, the games are designed with droning morons in mind (which includes me).
Saying you're a gamer and know all the lore for the Ultrgayrines of Warhammer 40 keks is if anything self deprecating. He gets away with being a spazz because he played Superman in goyschlock movie #1234
When he says he'd rather be alone and play vidyagay instead of going partying and slaying thots, he probably means it, and he actually has the option to go slay thots on the reg, unlike you (and me), you chromosome violation
DURR HE NOT A REAL GAMER LIKE MEE! HE DON'T PLAY troony GACHA GAMES AND LIVE ON MTN DEW!
I would but I've got the best CPU my board can support already. The most I could do is upgrade the RAM but kinda pointless atm for me. And my current GPU already bottlenecks my CPU, and everything is already overclocked so... if I want more performance, it's going to mean new PC basically
my motherboard thermal throttles the cpu (hwinfo says PROCHOT EXT flag is triggered), but i took the side panel off and pointed a fan at it, and it don't throttle anymore. I really need a new motherboard.
bro its my MOTHERBOARD that is fricking throttling. not my gpu or cpu. I've already undervolted the gpu, and reapplied paste to my cpu. I did hours of diagnosing and troubleshooting. Its definitely my motherboard/lack of air flow. Im running a biostar b450mh and its the one component i haven't upgraded yet.
I want to build a laptop. What are the hardest problems to tackle with this? I don't care about it being a small laptop. In fact, a big laptop would be ideal. Would 3D printing the chassis be good? Every time I say this I get laughed at. I really want to build a custom laptop. Only problems I can think of are power supply, motherboard, cooling. What else?
Not feeling them. Too thin. Plus it'd still be paying some guys to make it for me. I want to say I built my own laptop. Idk why every tech nerd I talk to about this just acts like I'm trying to invent a new limitless energy source or something. I need someone that takes it seriously.
the fundamental problem is that soldering together a motherboard of your own design isn't something you can do, which means that to even start, you need to get a motherboard from a laptop, which means you're just going to be buying a real laptop, then shoving its guts into some shitty case you made at home.
I mean if that's what you want then godspeed

I don't want to deal with chinks. Rather deal with people from my side of the planet.
Your biggest issue is going to be sourcing parts. Laptop OEMs don't use standard formats like desktops do, so you'd need to source your parts first and design your chassis around that. There's also the issue that your 3D printed chassis is going to be heavy and prone to brittleness issues unless you're particular with your plastic. Between prototyping, printing, print failures, specialty components, testing, and everything else, I really couldn't recommend it unless you're already handy as an engineer on some level.
>laptop
get a portable handheld, they have gotten so much better. The hardest problem would be without a doubt cooling, Since even gayming laptops cook to 100
Only thing I don't like is the Mobo, I really like Asus but i'm not risking buying one given the controversy around it and the X3D CPUs specifically. How do you bros think I did? >CPU/Mobo/GPU already purchased

Coulda streamlined that and trimmed off a lot of cash but you're buying a 4090 so you obviously don't give a frick about money. Enjoy not worrying about shitty game optimization for at least 7 years

Would you accept it if I said I wanted it because of how dumb it looks in a case? It tickled the lizard part of my brain that wanted big.
anyone who buys 32gb for a 4090 build in 2023 is a certified moron, yes, you are late and 32gb is now for legit poorgays and YES it has relevance to games even in 1% lows and general use, so yes 64gb is the minimum for these builds
2tb nvme + 1tb nvme makes no sense either, just buy a 4tb
make sure case can window can fit the 4090 connector and size of gpu
other than that you do whatever the frick you wanna do, also does that psu have the new meme gpu connector or not? if not,also change that

Did your 5800X3D have a high idle temp? My 7800X3D sits around 43-46C off an air cooler which feels high, but it has no problem maintaining a near 5ghz boost under an extended full workload, so I know my cooler is doing its job.
you know people are serious techlets when they mention idle temps in 2023
that meme has not been relevant for decades at this point
Ganker tells me to go for the Ryzen 7800x3d because the only use case for the 13900k is gaming + video editing, are they lying to me?
you dont buy a 7800x3d for productivity thats for sure
13900K you can at least OC. 7800x3D is locked from that.

My 11 year old motherboard and CPU are still dragging this heap along even as I upgrade to better GPUs and expand the hard drives. CPUs must be the biggest scam market.
Pretty good. Just waiting to see if I'll need to upgrade for Starfield. 3600X, 32 GB G. Skill DDR4, GTX 1080 OC, 1 TB Samsung 980 and Samsung 2 TB 2.5" SSD. Found it at a pawn shop for 300.
you can pick up used 1080tis for pretty good. Get one of those, a Ryzen 3600 and a b450 motherboard and 32gigs of ddr3200 ram. Get a decent 750watt PSU. I did that to whip up a cheapy second PC for bros to play on.
That shit wont cost you much and will compete with a 3060. In the future, you can upgrade as high as a 5800X3D and comfortably run up to a 4080 tier card on the same MOBO and ram. Means in the future you can actually squeeze quite a bit of life out of it. By the time the 1080ti is dogshit those new GPUs will be cheap secondhand. I'm sure like a RX7900XTX will not hold much value a few years down the line
I got the RAM and storage for now.
I'm slowly doing it, tried asking for advice on different boards but didn't need consolewar tier arguments over every brand down to the caps on a keyboard.
i don't have the autism enough to sift through thousands of butthurt over lego pieces.
so I'm gonna just study benchmarks for a couple weeks
hardware unboxed have a video listing the best boards at most price points and it's all you need to engage with.
Pick the one that has enough USB ports that fits your budget and size requirements.
Top-tier boards are a total scam unless you're some hardcore overclocking weirdo. Even if I was a millionaire I'd be sticking with normal motherboards that are good enough
It's done more or less. Though currently I'm copying shit to a bigger SSD so I guess it's still getting upgraded.
I decided against a platform change and stuck with previous gen Ryzen to use RAM I already had, so it's a 5800X3D, RTX 4080, 32 GB of DDR4 3200, 7.5 TB of SSD storage, crammed violently into this dinky case.
I love how small it is. I got a tough ass IP67 certified carry case for it too. It's so diddy I can easily grab it and plug it in to the TV downstairs which is great.
Before I had an upstairs PC and a downstairs PC which was an expensive ballache
any ITX formfactor board.
ITX boards are both much more expensive and have much less functionality than regular ATX boards, so you really have to want to build a micro PC.
Also building small form factor is a total c**t to actually do unless you have some slender hands.
I have this:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-I-AORUS-PRO-WIFI-rev-10#kf
It only supports > O N E < PCI-E card, so you really are building a nerfed PC that's geared towards gaming.
It also requires a 240mm AIO cooler to actually work or it overheats. So it's dumb and expensive but I thought it was worth it.
I shoved a tiny noctua fan in with the motherboard to drag more air in for the the VRM cooling. It also has an undervolt that auto applies at boot, which is really another hard requirement. However, temperatures are now basically perfect, even running Prime 95 and Furmark at the same time doesn't push anything too high.
I was playing Cyberpunk with full path-tracing, everything ultra, in 4K, and using DLSS performance mode plus frame generation in my living room shit runs like butter and plays fine, didn't notice the latency or see any drop in visual quality at that distance/set up.
I love this little homie like you wouldn't beleive, I take it everywhere. Currently in the process of building the ROM library of the universe for our next cabin holiday
It depends on the case, but yeah, I agree. Building with ITX can be really tough. It used to be way worse when they first came out though. I remember the HTPC format cases with no removable board tray and sharp edges all over. Looked like I tried to box a bobcat by the time I was done with that build.
I did one in the Meshilicious. Decided it was too big so did this one. Even that was a pain. The Dan case is definitely doable but like, I want to upgrade one of the NVME drives and I just can't bear the idea of ever having to assemble it again so I'm just not gonna bother. There's just insane tolerances in this case especially with a dumbass AIO with infinity mirrors which alsmost touches the side panel (I've completly gone off RGB now anyway)
What's good about this case is it takes chungus GPUs.
picrel is the GPU, it fits a 4080 founders edition which is a pretty big ass card. You can see that the tolerances are down to like 1 millimetre, putting the side panel on was stressful
>got a handmydown SSD, small >want to actually put my Windows on it because my booting up is painfully slow >install windows >can't download drivers because I don't have my wifi driver
I need to bring my wireless router to my computer and connect it to the ethernet port. That should allow me to update my drivers. I just haven't gotten around to it.
I can jankily hook up my blu-ray drive and put the motherboard driver disk inside, but the executable that I thought I ran last time doesn't do anything.
I bought a steam deck basically on day one, installed a load of games, then put it down and didn't pick it up for like 2 months until I sold it for the price I paid for it on eBay. >everything went better than expected
built a midrange for around $600 because I was stuck on a highly optimized 2015 rig for a long time, software has gotten a lot worse that upgrading hardware further is pointless
nice specs , not keen on the rainbow puke.
Those bottom fans, they intake? Kinda weird fan setup, 3 in and 1 out. I guess it's a bit constricted so it balances?
If it plays your vidya to your satisfaction then it's the best build there is bro
Extremely weird, but it does work for whatever reason. Was playing rdr2 on max settings for 5 hours earlier and didn't heat up a little. I was thinking of just changing the lights to solid white or blue so my cpu fan fits a little.
Why a white cooler? Clashes with the rest of the build, unless there was nothing in the same price bracket that was black. Then again I'm the dumbass that went with the non-black NH-D15 here
moronic planning on my part, but I'll try an fix it (see above). I kind of think the white cooler looks cool , would look cooler if there was like 1 other white piece in my case
can't argue with that shit. To be fair it's a big old roomy case. I'd be interested how it cools with the bottom fans off, I'll bet that rear fan is doing most of the heavy lifting.
Also does anyone else get fricking triggered by the way the majority of cases end up with the CPU cooler and rear fan almost but not quite lining up? Why can't we get one case that lines the two up nice and centred?
Why a white cooler? Clashes with the rest of the build, unless there was nothing in the same price bracket that was black. Then again I'm the dumbass that went with the non-black NH-D15 here
I made the mistake of building my computer w/ getting everything on the motherboard first w/ the NH-D15, then wiring it up. Good fricking god those 12v ATX cables are aids to hook into place w/ the tower in the way if your case doesn't have a removable top.
i can imagine how frustrating that would be, i always try to install the heatsink as late as possible
thankfully the d15 has that adjustable clip for the fan or id have never got it in there without crushing the RAM, it is one hell of a heatsink through, never had temps so good, or a pc so quiet
>or a pc so quiet
Was the main reason I went for that meme cooler. I'm too old fashioned to trust watercoolers/AIOs, at least with the NH-D15 it has two fans, so if one dies, whoop-de-doo, I still have a functional cooler.

I got memed into thinking gaming laptops were shit.
1660 laptop hooked up to my 4K monitor enjoying old games like Phoenix Wright and Dragon Age.
Good times. Even playing some EGS freebies like Bloons TD6.
Not bad for something I got for $300
They were never shit. It only get memed on because, like buying prebuilds, people don't know what they're doing or what they want out of those things. All my life I've used a gaming laptop 'till recently. but the ones I did had, I made sure to pay no more than $200 for them. Anything above that should be a crime
Admittedly, I'm a consolegay. I just prefer it but sometimes I wanna replay old 360 or PS3 games and PC has them. So an inexpensive laptop is perfect for playing old games. This stupid little 1660 laptop ran FF13 at 4K with the 4K mods. No stuttering no lag. Everything was perfect. It's awesome.
Back in 2018 I bought nothing but HP Elietebooks & Probooks on Ebay. They had surprisingly decent specs that it could run something like Yakuza 0 without any problem. I still have them, but they're collecting dust now.
A kid who was in like all my classes for college had an alienware gaming laptop. During class he would play WoW, and whenever he booted it up the thing would make so much fricking noise I could barely hear the teacher.
Finished it five days ago. Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with a hand-me-down 3060RTX at present, which the CPU is a little overkill for. But that's fine, since the GPU will be getting replaced in a couple years anyways. Absolutely zero RGB shit in my build, plus basic b***h black case (Corsair 4000D). Contemplating downgrading from W11 to W10 though. Too m
uch little shit in W11 that annoys me at present, like alt-tab getting stuck at times (it remains open after letting go of alt and having to use the mouse to click through it), or the Win+X menu not responding to shortcut keys once it's open.
I can't deal with windows 11, I use it in my work laptop and i hate it.
That's such an insane CPU, my upgrade to the 5800X3d was such a massive jump. I bet your frametimes are solid as frick with that combo
>I bet your frametimes are solid as frick with that combo
I went from a severe CPU bottleneck to the GPU being a bottleneck, which is preferable. I can basically do Blender renders at the same time and not see any real performance dip in the games I play, it's been great for the hobbyist shit I do on the side. I was real tempted to budget more for a 7950X3D, but it didn't feel worth the asking price, and having to gimp it to half-cores for game workloads anyways.
I think it just says how little modern games make use of your CPU if the GPU is doing 95% of the work.

thankfully the d15 has that adjustable clip for the fan or id have never got it in there without crushing the RAM, it is one hell of a heatsink through, never had temps so good, or a pc so quiet
I wonder if it's an issue with Intel sockets, somce I had so much fricking clearance on my RAM on my AM5 build that I could have went for the RGB meme ones that add 10mm on top and still would have cleared easily w/o raising the fan above the top of the fin stack.
Did your 5800X3D have a high idle temp? My 7800x3d sits around 43-46C off an air cooler which feels high, but it has no problem maintaining a near 5ghz boost under an extended full workload, so I know my cooler is doing its job.

... so not the ideal case. But everyone gets high idles from what I can read.
I used PBO2 to set an undervolt of 125 millivolts (a value of -25 in the app) which dramatically lowers temps idle and under load for identical-to-occasionally-better performance. There's basically no reason to not try an undervolt as you're only going to extend the life of the CPU.
I followed the guide here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/v0dnam/guide_how_to_undervolt_amd_ryzen_5800x3d_with/
I lowered temps across the board by 10 degrees C, well worth the time
Had to RMA my Motherboard and RAM.
The RAM made my friend's motherboard's BIOS stop working and needed a CMOS reset. Holy frick I thought RAM would never be a problem because it had no moving parts. Probably killed my mobo too
bad. shitty asus am5 motherboard with bad duel RAM issues. Either redo entire build completely taking hours or accept 1 RAM stick for the next couple years
Before you do anything drastic. Try removing your CPU, check for any corrosion on the pins. It happened to me.
But do be careful in trying to scrape away the corrosion.
Unfortunately I'm in that predicament. My brother gave me his hand me down motherboard since he was building a stronger build and I can't figure out for the life of me why it's only detecting one of my ram sticks but not the other.

White GPUs are just absurdly priced when they are even in stock or made
Built this just before Christmas in 2020. Added a few things later like the big hard drive and extra RAM.
Sometimes I get envious of people who have newer cards and stuff but there's really no point in upgrading for a few more years since I can still run everything fine.
>strapping all the cables together like that
I never understood this shit. You basically have to get the extra-wide cases to do that, and even then you have to be careful about it so it doesn't protrude where the back panel sits. It's not like airflow from the backside matters that much, so you could just freely twist tie the smaller shit, like the fricking front i/o connectors. God fricking damn I hate it when a mobo doesn't include an i/o block.

there's no way you're this fricking dumb
It's nice if you want to own a house. I can't imagine paying someone else's mortgage or living in some fricking building full of losers
You buy shit on credit that you could buy without credit, then you pay it on time. You built up a credit score over time so you can get a car or a house with reasonable interest rates instead of getting fricked by having no credit. This is risk free because any credit card debt you pay on time will accrue no interest, so it's the exact same as buying it without credit except you build up your score and possibly get some rewards too.
You should get a card as soon as possible, and only use it to buy things you need that you could afford today. Never use it to buy shit you can't pay for in the exact moment you make the transaction, and you'll never pay a dime in interest. There's no reason not to do it.
I do it all the time. Buy stuff on interest free credit. It costs me literally nothing, my savings account and pension grow at the same rate as before, I get the thing I want, and my credit rating improves over time. I don't want to stop putting money in the mortgage fund or the pension, and I don't mind small nuggets of interest free debt. I certainly don't want to spend savings
not sure why people think credit is an evil invention if you know how to use it and how to use it right it can be beneficial, Always treat it like a debit card, don't spend what you can't payback/ afford. Plus if you open a new account they usually do 15 or so months no apr so even if you can't make a full payment a partial one isn't going to put you in debt just NEVER not pay it and have a late fee it fricks with your credit score 10x worse. Also be weary of utilization
I have a cash back card and I always make sure to pay off the full balance every month, it's free money.
>he got baited into buying le high end pc by shitposters spamming poorgay memes

I hope you are shitposting
hope yo made sure to get a 360AIO to cool that monstrocity
tis why I need the bigger case :/
should've gotten a 13600k m8
I genuinely hope all your shit melts itself, stupid fricking moron.
Really not that big of a deal and it's not inconvenient to make payments. You might pay about 100 bucks more in the end but that's a convenience tax.
>And besides Ganker always harps on people who don't own the best so I feel like I have to
lol no, Ganker here, you are fricking moronic
Ganker tells me to go for the Ryzen 7800X3D because the only use case for the 13900k is gaming + video editing, are they lying to me?
13900K you can at least OC. 7800X3D is locked from that.
He's a poser moron that doesn't actually enjoy videogames, no wonder Ganker loves him
>im a big whiney baby, boo hoo, my butt hurts
He enjoys video games enough to the extent that he got fired from his tv show for knowing more lore than the writers and forcing them to respect the source material.
I don't know, good enough for me.
No he's not a poser, it's not his fault that s o y Black folk eat him up because he likes fantasy and video games and also happen to be a successful actor.
How much of a gay do you need to be to call out someone for being a poser for the most loser hobby there is? It's video games, not skating or basketball or something like this, the games are designed with droning morons in mind (which includes me).
Saying you're a gamer and know all the lore for the Ultrgayrines of Warhammer 40 keks is if anything self deprecating. He gets away with being a spazz because he played Superman in goyschlock movie #1234
When he says he'd rather be alone and play vidyagay instead of going partying and slaying thots, he probably means it, and he actually has the option to go slay thots on the reg, unlike you (and me), you chromosome violation
DURR HE NOT A REAL GAMER LIKE MEE! HE DON'T PLAY troony GACHA GAMES AND LIVE ON MTN DEW!
what?

Hi Lauren are you still seething that he killed your shitty show by leaving?
gonna throw some shit into an optiplex mobo and see if it throttles anything. if it does I'll get a new mobo.
Got a job at the start of April last year, built a PC with a 5600x and 3080ti and lost all motivation to play games.
a Ganker classic
I built my own PC in 2013, still using it
I did too.
Upgrade your CPU and RAM, and use an SSD if you don't already. You'll see the difference; I know I did.
I would but I've got the best CPU my board can support already. The most I could do is upgrade the RAM but kinda pointless atm for me. And my current GPU already bottlenecks my CPU, and everything is already overclocked so... if I want more performance, it's going to mean new PC basically
>I've got the best CPU my board can support already
I meant buy a new motherboard as well anon.
>Ram is pointless
I went from 16 to 32 and noticed a difference, if you have similar then you should consider it.
>I meant buy a new motherboard as well anon.
Well then I'd arguably not be using the same PC then lol
I know. It's been a decade anon.
i salvaged some parts from some old setups and got a nice pc, it runs the latest non-woke games, you know, the good stuff.
Stuck on collecting cash
my motherboard thermal throttles the cpu (hwinfo says PROCHOT EXT flag is triggered), but i took the side panel off and pointed a fan at it, and it don't throttle anymore. I really need a new motherboard.
undervolt it,
reapply thermal paste.
bro its my MOTHERBOARD that is fricking throttling. not my gpu or cpu. I've already undervolted the gpu, and reapplied paste to my cpu. I did hours of diagnosing and troubleshooting. Its definitely my motherboard/lack of air flow. Im running a biostar b450mh and its the one component i haven't upgraded yet.
Heatsink on vrm and rig a fan to blow on it
oh, then yes, you are fricked, and should change it before it starts to frick up other of the components.
sounds like that an air circulation issue
I want to build a laptop. What are the hardest problems to tackle with this? I don't care about it being a small laptop. In fact, a big laptop would be ideal. Would 3D printing the chassis be good? Every time I say this I get laughed at. I really want to build a custom laptop. Only problems I can think of are power supply, motherboard, cooling. What else?
moron
Why do I always get called a tard for this. When I get it to work you'll see. You'll all see.
just buy a framework laptop you moron
shut up linus
Not feeling them. Too thin. Plus it'd still be paying some guys to make it for me. I want to say I built my own laptop. Idk why every tech nerd I talk to about this just acts like I'm trying to invent a new limitless energy source or something. I need someone that takes it seriously.
the fundamental problem is that soldering together a motherboard of your own design isn't something you can do, which means that to even start, you need to get a motherboard from a laptop, which means you're just going to be buying a real laptop, then shoving its guts into some shitty case you made at home.
I mean if that's what you want then godspeed
Motherboard is one of the problems I highlighted. Is there some place/firm that can make or sells custom motherboards?
The chinks do
They made modern mainboards to retrofit old thinkpads
I don't want to deal with chinks. Rather deal with people from my side of the planet.
>what are the hardest problems to tackle with this?
your own moronation
Your biggest issue is going to be sourcing parts. Laptop OEMs don't use standard formats like desktops do, so you'd need to source your parts first and design your chassis around that. There's also the issue that your 3D printed chassis is going to be heavy and prone to brittleness issues unless you're particular with your plastic. Between prototyping, printing, print failures, specialty components, testing, and everything else, I really couldn't recommend it unless you're already handy as an engineer on some level.
>laptop
get a portable handheld, they have gotten so much better. The hardest problem would be without a doubt cooling, Since even gayming laptops cook to 100
got £500 I have a decent graphic card what do i need to buy? speaker keybord screen mouse are fine
I can also use current case or should i buy a prebuild
Pretty good.
Only thing I don't like is the Mobo, I really like Asus but i'm not risking buying one given the controversy around it and the X3D CPUs specifically. How do you bros think I did?

Coulda streamlined that and trimmed off a lot of cash but you're buying a 4090 so you obviously don't give a frick about money. Enjoy not worrying about shitty game optimization for at least 7 years
>good SSD
No way gay.
>reddit meme case
Lian Li predates Reddit you fricking zoomer mongoloid.
>Reddit meme PSU
How in the frick is there a "reddit meme PSU"???
Dude. Spend some time away from Ganker.
nta, but that case is reddit. With the money you're spending you should contact someone to custom machine you a case.
>100 dollar custom-built case
Not gonna end well buddy
>didn't fall for the NH15 overpriced meme cooler
Would you accept it if I said I wanted it because of how dumb it looks in a case? It tickled the lizard part of my brain that wanted big.
anyone who buys 32gb for a 4090 build in 2023 is a certified moron, yes, you are late and 32gb is now for legit poorgays and YES it has relevance to games even in 1% lows and general use, so yes 64gb is the minimum for these builds
2tb nvme + 1tb nvme makes no sense either, just buy a 4tb
make sure case can window can fit the 4090 connector and size of gpu
other than that you do whatever the frick you wanna do, also does that psu have the new meme gpu connector or not? if not,also change that
>fell for the 32gb meme
poorgays and techlets all over
you know people are serious techlets when they mention idle temps in 2023
that meme has not been relevant for decades at this point
you dont buy a 7800x3d for productivity thats for sure
no but also pointless
>that meme has not been relevant for decades at this point
Fitting, since my last PC build was literally a full decade ago.
I want to smell him so bad
>How's that build coming along
Currently getting bullied by richgays for this post
Using Ebay and Craigslist for PC Building was your first mistakes. Those homosexuals never knock down the price despite there is an option to ask for a price Suggestion and haggle.

I just buy miner cards, at least they'll actually sell the thing
haggling doesn't actually work on ebay man. its just a feature so ebay can advertise it.

Frick ebay so goddanm hard, it's either get ripped off or scammed
My 11 year old motherboard and CPU are still dragging this heap along even as I upgrade to better GPUs and expand the hard drives. CPUs must be the biggest scam market.
I built my rig in 2020 and I'm still using it. I see no reason to upgrade when I can play all the games I like just fine with it.
He won.
Pretty good. Just waiting to see if I'll need to upgrade for Starfield. 3600X, 32 GB G. Skill DDR4, GTX 1080 OC, 1 TB Samsung 980 and Samsung 2 TB 2.5" SSD. Found it at a pawn shop for 300.
>Want to build low budget PC
>go to Ganker
>ask for advice
>people recommend $500+ stuff
You may as well just buy a prebuild if you're trying to build a low budget PC.
4090 is the bare minimum, you don't want anything below 24GB of VRAM.
what games do you even play?
I swear people who say this never actually got a top tier rig.
Black person, this entire
>bro, you don't NEED that rig to play games
Meme is obsolete because of one thing. Developer incompetence. Pic related
I just want to game at 1080p at 60fps, it can't be THAT hard
you can pick up used 1080tis for pretty good. Get one of those, a Ryzen 3600 and a b450 motherboard and 32gigs of ddr3200 ram. Get a decent 750watt PSU. I did that to whip up a cheapy second PC for bros to play on.
That shit wont cost you much and will compete with a 3060. In the future, you can upgrade as high as a 5800X3D and comfortably run up to a 4080 tier card on the same MOBO and ram. Means in the future you can actually squeeze quite a bit of life out of it. By the time the 1080ti is dogshit those new GPUs will be cheap secondhand. I'm sure like a RX7900XTX will not hold much value a few years down the line
You tell me OP.
I have yet to replace my HAF X case that I got in 2009 when I first built it
>How's that build coming along
Currently in the planning stages, I'm thinking a 7800X3D and a 6700XT because frick paying more than 500$ for a gpu
homie you dont need that tier of CPU to drive a 6700XT
god i wish that were me
Start today anon. Do some stretches, start going to the gym, and learn how to build a PC.
>bro its easy to become a giant 100+ kilo musclehead
>just do some stretches
>don't forget the roids!
Never said it was easy or that it would happen overnight (or even this year or the next year). Just "start today".
I got the RAM and storage for now.
I'm slowly doing it, tried asking for advice on different boards but didn't need consolewar tier arguments over every brand down to the caps on a keyboard.
i don't have the autism enough to sift through thousands of butthurt over lego pieces.
so I'm gonna just study benchmarks for a couple weeks
hardware unboxed have a video listing the best boards at most price points and it's all you need to engage with.
Pick the one that has enough USB ports that fits your budget and size requirements.
Top-tier boards are a total scam unless you're some hardcore overclocking weirdo. Even if I was a millionaire I'd be sticking with normal motherboards that are good enough
godspeed
I hope this saves you three weeks of staring at benchmarks and forum posts

r8 my pc
I need Henry to re-arrange my guts with his wiener okay?
It's done more or less. Though currently I'm copying shit to a bigger SSD so I guess it's still getting upgraded.
I decided against a platform change and stuck with previous gen Ryzen to use RAM I already had, so it's a 5800X3D, RTX 4080, 32 GB of DDR4 3200, 7.5 TB of SSD storage, crammed violently into this dinky case.
I love how small it is. I got a tough ass IP67 certified carry case for it too. It's so diddy I can easily grab it and plug it in to the TV downstairs which is great.
Before I had an upstairs PC and a downstairs PC which was an expensive ballache
What kind of Motherboard would fit in that small case?
any ITX formfactor board.
ITX boards are both much more expensive and have much less functionality than regular ATX boards, so you really have to want to build a micro PC.
Also building small form factor is a total c**t to actually do unless you have some slender hands.
I have this:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-I-AORUS-PRO-WIFI-rev-10#kf
It only supports > O N E < PCI-E card, so you really are building a nerfed PC that's geared towards gaming.
It also requires a 240mm AIO cooler to actually work or it overheats. So it's dumb and expensive but I thought it was worth it.
I shoved a tiny noctua fan in with the motherboard to drag more air in for the the VRM cooling. It also has an undervolt that auto applies at boot, which is really another hard requirement. However, temperatures are now basically perfect, even running Prime 95 and Furmark at the same time doesn't push anything too high.
I was playing Cyberpunk with full path-tracing, everything ultra, in 4K, and using DLSS performance mode plus frame generation in my living room shit runs like butter and plays fine, didn't notice the latency or see any drop in visual quality at that distance/set up.
I love this little homie like you wouldn't beleive, I take it everywhere. Currently in the process of building the ROM library of the universe for our next cabin holiday
It depends on the case, but yeah, I agree. Building with ITX can be really tough. It used to be way worse when they first came out though. I remember the HTPC format cases with no removable board tray and sharp edges all over. Looked like I tried to box a bobcat by the time I was done with that build.
I did one in the Meshilicious. Decided it was too big so did this one. Even that was a pain. The Dan case is definitely doable but like, I want to upgrade one of the NVME drives and I just can't bear the idea of ever having to assemble it again so I'm just not gonna bother. There's just insane tolerances in this case especially with a dumbass AIO with infinity mirrors which alsmost touches the side panel (I've completly gone off RGB now anyway)
What's good about this case is it takes chungus GPUs.
picrel is the GPU, it fits a 4080 founders edition which is a pretty big ass card. You can see that the tolerances are down to like 1 millimetre, putting the side panel on was stressful
>got a handmydown SSD, small
>want to actually put my Windows on it because my booting up is painfully slow
>install windows
>can't download drivers because I don't have my wifi driver
I need to bring my wireless router to my computer and connect it to the ethernet port. That should allow me to update my drivers. I just haven't gotten around to it.
I can jankily hook up my blu-ray drive and put the motherboard driver disk inside, but the executable that I thought I ran last time doesn't do anything.
Download the driver to a USB and install it offline you stupid Black person.
i want to take a deep sniff of his armpits and lick his fat ass

I bought a steam deck basically on day one, installed a load of games, then put it down and didn't pick it up for like 2 months until I sold it for the price I paid for it on eBay.
>everything went better than expected
Waiting to see if the Amd 7700 or 7800 GPUs are decent enough to buy over a 4070.
Will most likely get Amd CPU, 7600 or 7700 CPU will suffice for me.

I rarely play western AAA console ports, just hitman and rarely others. So this better be enough for 1080p 60 for years
built a midrange for around $600 because I was stuck on a highly optimized 2015 rig for a long time, software has gotten a lot worse that upgrading hardware further is pointless
Just built this. Go ahead and flame me, I can take it. Ignore my meds in reflection

Bought two of those fr both mine and my mothers 12400f builds, great little coolers for the price
No plan on overclocking so didn't figure I needed anything more than 40$even though I could, shit is an icebox
Thank you anon! My mom loves it
🙂
nice specs , not keen on the rainbow puke.
Those bottom fans, they intake? Kinda weird fan setup, 3 in and 1 out. I guess it's a bit constricted so it balances?
If it plays your vidya to your satisfaction then it's the best build there is bro
Extremely weird, but it does work for whatever reason. Was playing rdr2 on max settings for 5 hours earlier and didn't heat up a little. I was thinking of just changing the lights to solid white or blue so my cpu fan fits a little.
moronic planning on my part, but I'll try an fix it (see above). I kind of think the white cooler looks cool , would look cooler if there was like 1 other white piece in my case
can't argue with that shit. To be fair it's a big old roomy case. I'd be interested how it cools with the bottom fans off, I'll bet that rear fan is doing most of the heavy lifting.
Also does anyone else get fricking triggered by the way the majority of cases end up with the CPU cooler and rear fan almost but not quite lining up? Why can't we get one case that lines the two up nice and centred?
Why a white cooler? Clashes with the rest of the build, unless there was nothing in the same price bracket that was black.
Then again I'm the dumbass that went with the non-black NH-D15 here
i have an all black case (with a black nh-d15) and chose to use white fans throughout
i like the contrast and i think it looks pretty cool
I made the mistake of building my computer w/ getting everything on the motherboard first w/ the NH-D15, then wiring it up. Good fricking god those 12v ATX cables are aids to hook into place w/ the tower in the way if your case doesn't have a removable top.
i can imagine how frustrating that would be, i always try to install the heatsink as late as possible
thankfully the d15 has that adjustable clip for the fan or id have never got it in there without crushing the RAM, it is one hell of a heatsink through, never had temps so good, or a pc so quiet
Did you put in the 2 noise reduction cables?
>or a pc so quiet
Was the main reason I went for that meme cooler. I'm too old fashioned to trust watercoolers/AIOs, at least with the NH-D15 it has two fans, so if one dies, whoop-de-doo, I still have a functional cooler.
>I'm too old fashioned to trust watercoolers/AIOs
same, but its just common sense, water and electronics do not mix
I got memed into thinking gaming laptops were shit.
1660 laptop hooked up to my 4K monitor enjoying old games like Phoenix Wright and Dragon Age.
Good times. Even playing some EGS freebies like Bloons TD6.
Not bad for something I got for $300
I got my GF a 1660ti laptop and that thing never stops susprising me. That series of mobile GPUs really are excellent value
They were never shit. It only get memed on because, like buying prebuilds, people don't know what they're doing or what they want out of those things. All my life I've used a gaming laptop 'till recently. but the ones I did had, I made sure to pay no more than $200 for them. Anything above that should be a crime
Admittedly, I'm a consolegay. I just prefer it but sometimes I wanna replay old 360 or PS3 games and PC has them. So an inexpensive laptop is perfect for playing old games. This stupid little 1660 laptop ran FF13 at 4K with the 4K mods. No stuttering no lag. Everything was perfect. It's awesome.
wtf bargain bin shit were you buying for 200
Back in 2018 I bought nothing but HP Elietebooks & Probooks on Ebay. They had surprisingly decent specs that it could run something like Yakuza 0 without any problem. I still have them, but they're collecting dust now.
A kid who was in like all my classes for college had an alienware gaming laptop. During class he would play WoW, and whenever he booted it up the thing would make so much fricking noise I could barely hear the teacher.
Finished it five days ago. Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with a hand-me-down 3060RTX at present, which the CPU is a little overkill for. But that's fine, since the GPU will be getting replaced in a couple years anyways. Absolutely zero RGB shit in my build, plus basic b***h black case (Corsair 4000D). Contemplating downgrading from W11 to W10 though. Too m
uch little shit in W11 that annoys me at present, like alt-tab getting stuck at times (it remains open after letting go of alt and having to use the mouse to click through it), or the Win+X menu not responding to shortcut keys once it's open.
I can't deal with windows 11, I use it in my work laptop and i hate it.
That's such an insane CPU, my upgrade to the 5800X3d was such a massive jump. I bet your frametimes are solid as frick with that combo
>I bet your frametimes are solid as frick with that combo
I went from a severe CPU bottleneck to the GPU being a bottleneck, which is preferable. I can basically do Blender renders at the same time and not see any real performance dip in the games I play, it's been great for the hobbyist shit I do on the side.
I was real tempted to budget more for a 7950X3D, but it didn't feel worth the asking price, and having to gimp it to half-cores for game workloads anyways.
running blender whislt playing games is the kind of flex unimaginable until very recently, jesus christ
I think it just says how little modern games make use of your CPU if the GPU is doing 95% of the work.
I wonder if it's an issue with Intel sockets, somce I had so much fricking clearance on my RAM on my AM5 build that I could have went for the RGB meme ones that add 10mm on top and still would have cleared easily w/o raising the fan above the top of the fin stack.
>I wonder if it's an issue with Intel sockets
nah, im just behind thats all, AM4
Did your 5800X3D have a high idle temp? My 7800x3d sits around 43-46C off an air cooler which feels high, but it has no problem maintaining a near 5ghz boost under an extended full workload, so I know my cooler is doing its job.
I was getting high idle temps, but I am also
... so not the ideal case. But everyone gets high idles from what I can read.
I used PBO2 to set an undervolt of 125 millivolts (a value of -25 in the app) which dramatically lowers temps idle and under load for identical-to-occasionally-better performance. There's basically no reason to not try an undervolt as you're only going to extend the life of the CPU.
I followed the guide here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/v0dnam/guide_how_to_undervolt_amd_ryzen_5800x3d_with/
I lowered temps across the board by 10 degrees C, well worth the time
Why is Thermaltake mogging all the other case and PSU competitors?
Had to RMA my Motherboard and RAM.
The RAM made my friend's motherboard's BIOS stop working and needed a CMOS reset. Holy frick I thought RAM would never be a problem because it had no moving parts. Probably killed my mobo too
bad. shitty asus am5 motherboard with bad duel RAM issues. Either redo entire build completely taking hours or accept 1 RAM stick for the next couple years
Before you do anything drastic. Try removing your CPU, check for any corrosion on the pins. It happened to me.
But do be careful in trying to scrape away the corrosion.
Unfortunately I'm in that predicament. My brother gave me his hand me down motherboard since he was building a stronger build and I can't figure out for the life of me why it's only detecting one of my ram sticks but not the other.
Been done for months.

Did Henry ever say what he thought about the Lion's return?
Built this just before Christmas in 2020. Added a few things later like the big hard drive and extra RAM.
Sometimes I get envious of people who have newer cards and stuff but there's really no point in upgrading for a few more years since I can still run everything fine.
>strapping all the cables together like that
I never understood this shit. You basically have to get the extra-wide cases to do that, and even then you have to be careful about it so it doesn't protrude where the back panel sits. It's not like airflow from the backside matters that much, so you could just freely twist tie the smaller shit, like the fricking front i/o connectors. God fricking damn I hate it when a mobo doesn't include an i/o block.
I really need to upgrade my rig but goddamn gpu prices are fricking moronic
Upgrading from my 2060 Super to a 3080 I found for cheap (~$400). Need to get a new power supply and I'm gonna finally upgrade from 16GBs of RAM

Which one do I get if I'm only bothering with 1080p? My 10 year old build finally died and I haven't bothered to keep up with computer stuff.
Literally just need an M.2 and maybe a GPU upgrade but everyone is being moronic with prices especially Nvidia and it's not like there is any game worth upgrading for right now having a 1070 that just werks
I didn't realize how fricking small m2 drives were until I built my rig this month. Was expecting something RAM sized.
