Sure, it's probably useless but please let me have this. I just built a system using a Gigabyte B550M Aorus Pro-P and a Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge v2 card so I could use my ProDisplayXDR with it. The XDR works, but at 5k only, and the USB ports on the XDR work intermittently. I wouldn't do it again.

I've been out of the PC-building space for a while, and managed to get my grubby hands on a Gigabyte 6800XT. As the rest of my build is a good couple of years old, I'm looking to build a brand new one and I always dread trying to shop for CPUs and motherboards that'll work well together as well as let my GPU be all it can be. With that in mind, can anybody help a guy out and give me a run-down on the CPUs-du-jour? For reference, I am on the West Coast USA, my budget for the rest of the system is about $1200 or so, and my primary usage is gonna be playing games. I plan to make my first foray into overclocking with this build, so anything that helps that out would be appreciated. I was looking at the Ryzen 5900X, but from what I can tell there may be earlier versions that still are good for my purposes while being a few hundred cheaper, though I'm open to any and all corrections! As far as mobos go, I was planning on just doing some shopping on Newegg or PCPP and finding a sweet spot between price and compatibility.

The parkville microcenter is doing mid day drops because they don't like people lining up outside since there's all this construction going on. If you're around there then you may have some luck walking in around noon, 3pm, and 6pm if you need a gpu. Those times seem to 'be the best' due to when vouchers expire but it's random and they are holding 30% of their morning drops for intraday drops instead. All this info comes supposedly from someone with insider knowledge. Anybody got any opinions on a 32"+ 4k or 1440p ips monitors? I saw this one in the monitor thread: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FQ42MN1/?coliid=I28FRY4HQ0IVE4&colid=2B3EGK6L42UGR&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I can't tell if I should try and get a 'better' one that costs more or not care because I'm coming from a 1080p 39" toshiba tv that I've used for like 5 years. I think going smaller than my current 39" is a good idea because I used to use my computer to watch movies but I have a projector now so I mostly use my monitor for work and games. I did end up ordering the Scythe Fuma 2 CPU Air Cooler for my build and I'm going to hold off on any extra fans till I get it built and see how the cpu/gpu temps are. Edit: UberChair, The 5600x is the gaming cpu du jour at the moment, much cheaper than the 5900x and you're better off saving that money to put into your GPU.

I built a pretty state-of-the-art system (as far as I know). I've got an ASUS Rog Crosshair VIII Wifi, Ryzen 9 5950x, ASUS ROG Strix 24GB 3090 OC, etc. My "problem" is the RAM. I've heard Ryzen 9 is set up for 4000 MHz but I can only ever get it up to 3600 MHz when messing with the OC settings. The automated version DOCP Standard or whatever never seems to work. I've updated the BIOS, drivers, firmware...everything I can for this system. I've got Resizable Bar working, some decent OC going, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the most out of my RAM. Here's the specific RAM I've purchased: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820374036?Item=N82E16820374036 Maybe I'm an idiot and missing something but I can't seem to find the right memory settings to get it to boot up without failing over to safe mode. Let me know if this is the wrong thread.

All this info comes supposedly from someone with insider knowledge. That monitor looks fine for a work monitor. If you want a more gaming oriented one look at higher refresh rate 1440p IPS 27" monitors (most are 144 or 165hz). They're frequently mentioned in the monitor thread, many have the same panel as this LG ultragear with the "nano IPS" panel, but they're not the only brand using the same panel. You could probably drive a higher spec monitor with a 3080 but you'll potentially end up spending a lot more for that.

I'm tempted to go for the 5800x if I can narrow the price gap but for now I'll just hold the course on the 5600x. The best air cooler going is the Noctua NH-D15 at $100. To get an equivalent or better performing liquid cooling loop you'll have to spend a good amount more than that, and you'll want at least a 240mm AIO, if not 280mm. You'll get more temperature overhead but you'll get a louder system generally as the pump will always be going, even when not under load. Personally I think overclocking the Zen 3 processors is a waste of time as I haven't seen any videos that show off any significant performance boosts at all, and actually with PBO a lot of the traditional OC potential is already factored in and taken advantage of by the chips. If you have to ask what the difference is you don't need an X570 board is the simple answer but basically X570 gets you more PCIE 4 lanes which you don't need now or in the near future, and an annoying chipset fan. Otherwise the B550 chipset is actually newer and you can find the whole range of everything you need (or not, in the case of RGB lighting) on there. You still get PCIE 4 to the GPU slot and to one NVMe drive, for which you shouldn't be buying a PCIE 4 NVMe yet because they're very overpriced and have zero practical benefit to the vast majority of users.

To expand on this, get a 5600x and put the extra cash towards a nice 1440p+ 144hz+ monitor. If you’re playing at 1440p+ then 5600x vs 5800x literally doesn’t matter right now. Also, mid to high range air is almost always better than mid range AIO. You have to spend stupid amounts of money to get an AIO that competes with the D15, and it’ll likely be louder and loving huge.

Holy lol Batman, that is one expensive rig. Generally anything above 3600mhz doesn’t work well with the current Ryzen chips, and even if it did the performance gains would likely be sub 5% at best. If you really want to OC the ram you could try getting tighter timings, but you might want to check out the OC thread for that. Your time would probably be better spent pushing that 3090 OC higher, if your monitor refresh rate even goes that high.

Thankfully, this would be for audio interfaces, so it's nowhere near pushing the data limit of a Thunderbolt port. In truth, I don't even have a Thunderbolt interface (yet), but I wanted to keep my options open in case I decided to do dumb poo poo. That said, I did the smart thing and looked for PCIe cards and found some that are $50-$100. I think I'll save my money now and just know that I can beef it up in the future if need be.

I have spent a fair amount of time tweaking everything else in the system but more or less wanted to mess with memory to see how far I can push it all. I’ll go check out the overclock thread.

Got my ~tax return~ so it's time for some upgrades to my 2014 build  I need: Motherboard CPU CPU cooler? ATX tower??

You're basically in full rebuild territory. With a new CPU and motherboard you'll need new DDR4 RAM, and you're also using a power supply that's well past its 5 year warranty period. You can carry forward the GPU, storage and case, but everything else needs to go. Edit: you can definitely get a new atx case if you want, but I don't think your current case being matx is what's making it difficult to build in - its all about the layout and positioning of the drive bays etc in there. Your old one looks like a nightmare, my itx nr200 looks easier to build in than that. Butterfly Valley fucked around with this message at 11:30 on May 11, 2021 |

This sounds like a dumb problem, but I kept hearing a rattle coming from my PC case. There are no cables hitting the fan blades, so I thought it was the CPU cooler shaking loose. I retightened it, but the problem came back. This had been plaguing me for weeks until just yesterday I realized it was actually the glass side panel of my NZXT H500 vibrating; taking the side off fixed it entirely, and then reseating it the rattle disappeared. Now it's back again and I can't figure out why, the thumbscrew is tightly locked in and it should be sitting flush. Did the case get bent or something? Anyone else experience this?

Fans are probably just vibrating the case. Some kind of rubber or foam that’s small enough to squeeze between the side panel and where it touches the rest of the chassis may fix it. You could also see if NZXT will RMA you a new side panel. They need some good will right now and may go for it.

Same thing happened to me. I went to Michaels and bought some adhesive backed black felt. It was like $2 bucks for the sheet. I cut a bunch of 1/2" by 1/4" strips and attached them around the the left, top, and right sides of the case where the glass rests against the case. The glass has a black backing so you won't see the felt. I also added some smaller prices over the little plastic clips that hold the bottom of the glass panel in place too.

I'm looking for a case that is smaller than an atx, with some rgb bullshit. Maybe an all-white case. I'd like to spray paint the panels purple. Search on PCPP for micro atx mid and mini towers to get an idea of what's available. I'll link you three different options but this is by no means exhaustive and you should do your own research to find whatever suits your aesthetic the best. RGB bullshit is usually more about what fans and components you put in the case rather than the case itself, though. You'll obviously just want something with a tempered glass side panel and room for unicorn vomit fans. It's not my bag so I can't give you the best recommendations but I know it can be a pain to get everything synced and working, and it's advised to stick to one manufacturer for all the fans and getting a fan controller to plug them all into, which I think Corsair do best with, and are usually included in their cases (as in the one I linked). Regarding the rest of your build, because it sounds like you want a particular aesthetic you really just need to get in there yourself and see what's available and how much of a premium you're willing to pay for RGB and not black or red, because in some cases it's going to be a high one. I would aim to build around either a Ryzen 5600x with a b550 board, or an Intel 11400 with a Z490 or Z590 board (I think the 490 boards can get a BIOS upgrade to support PCIe 4 but someone who knows Intel better should weigh in). The Ryzen is a better processor although not 50% better as the price would suggest, but you'll find the options for motherboards are both more numerous and cheaper. You'll want 16GB of 3200-3600 CL16 RAM, or 32GB if you use memory heavy programs/have a billion tabs and things open simultaneously. Get a gold rated PSU up to 750W, any more would be overkill. I would advise semi retiring the HDD and getting an NVMe to use as your new boot/main game drive, the 1TB Western Digital SN550 is an excellent value one here.

I recommend spending the money and getting an AIO. At least 280mm or 360mm. Although after my next paycheck, I may just go full water cooling, now that I also have a 3090. Would you guys recommend 2x 280mm or 2x 360mm radiators. If I can get away with 280mm rads, I can put an optical drive in (don't ask, I have my reasons). Otherwise I have to settle for an external drive.

MonkeyFit posted:The 5800x runs loving hot. I know mine does. I recommend spending the money and getting an AIO. At least 280mm or 360mm. Yeah it runs hot, but I’ve never seen my 5800X go above 75 C with a Noctua DH15 and good case airflow

WattsvilleBlues posted:Wasn't sure where else to post this - trying to download an update for my motherboard from the MSI site, but when I navigate to the BIOS download page, it's blank. It's been like this since the last time I tried 2 months ago. Can anyone else have a look for me please? I'm also not getting anything when I try your link. Nothing under BIOS, Drivers, Manual etc. I tried the US specific site (https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B550-A-PRO) to see if that made any difference, but there the entire page just doesn't load.

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:To expand on this, get a 5600x and put the extra cash towards a nice 1440p+ 144hz+ monitor. If you’re playing at 1440p+ then 5600x vs 5800x literally doesn’t matter right now. Thanks for the advice here (everyone else as well!). If I wanted to keep one of my old 1080p monitors around to have on the side as a messaging/browsing side view, would it cause any issues with the display on the 1440p? Never tried that before. My desk space is somewhat limited at the moment and I'd like to avoid doubling up on the 1440p until I have more room.

I will admit that the thermal paste application may have been sub par and put a bubble in there. But I just said gently caress it and replaced it with the AIO because the DH15 is ugly as gently caress, and looked out of place in my build. And now my temps are good.

Out of curiosity...what WOULD the reasons be to go with a 5800x over 5600x? Like, what will two more cores make easier/better? I don't stream regularly or anything but I do occasionally for friends and smaller Discord servers, that's about the only thing I can think of.
