single monitor gaming, 4k

Hello fellow 4k gamer,

For worry-free 4k gaming, you really need a 3080 unless you're willing to turn down settings for 60 FPS on graphics-heavy AAA titles. An equivalent is the RX 6800XT. They don't seem to exist in real life anymore. A 3070 will work in a pinch but you need to pick and choose which settings you're willing to let go. I had a 3070 initially and went right back into the microcenter line to snag a 3080 after 5 days of camping out.

I heard ryzen CPUs love having all 4 slots populated and you get a very small performance boost out of it, even if you're on intel why not have more ram?

Either way though my point is why not just actually spend that money on getting another 1% of performance then buy the fancy coloured cables after? idk maybe i'm old and out of touch because i don't entirely get all the aesthetic stuff in computers now, i'll be over here with my brown noctua fans yelling at the clouds

raring to post

Most desktop CPU memory controllers won’t be able to clock as high with all 4 DIMM slots populated. This is dually true if using 4 dual rank/dual sided DIMMs for dual the duality.

This is for Zen 1/+, but illustrates the point.

Another crazy RGB man


I would like to improve my 1070, but, you know...

All this poo poo syncs with my mouse and keyboard, because I love the Razer thing where games are able to seize the RGB controls of your components and make lighting effects occur in sync with events in-game. This was supposed to eventually build out into buying a Phillips Hue system with entertainment colored lights so that Apex Legends controls my whole bedroom, because I love high-end arcade games like Star Wars Battle Pod or whatever where the whole immediate space around you flashes colors and blows wind in your face as you play the game. I think parts searching fatigue combined with the Wraith Prism not really being able to keep CPU temperatures under control when encoding HEVC has sort of left me feeling "okay enough" so we'll probably never reach that stage.

I wanted 32GB to start out, and the price was $199.98 for 4x8 or $199.99 for 2x16. I can upgrade later without buying 4 new DIMMs.

(i mean, i won't, but it sounds good in theory) :shrug:

I love this. I'd worry about the gpu choking, but the cpu cooler prevents you from putting the side on the case, right?
The CPU cooler is indeed too large to put the side panel back on. I want to get a second side panel and find an auto shop (or something) to cut it to fit, going for kind of ratrod vibe.



Why are you worried about the GPU choking? It pulls in cool air from the bottom of the case and dumps hot air directly outside of the case... :confused:

RAM is weirdly expensive right now (the 16gb of 3200 MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM I used is now retailing for $106, compared to the $60 I bought it for, only $10 cheaper than the LED Vengeance anyways), so it makes sense I guess?
