That’s the poster's current build but your solution is also correct Baram just grab the 5800x3d and IMO you’re good to go don’t need to change anything else really

Where does a 6750xt fit in the price curve these days, is it I dunno 50 bucks better than a 6700? I keep seeing like single percent bumps in performance for 30-40w more power usage and mehhhh

so I have a leftover case from... some time in the past, that has never been used. it's a Coolermaster Masterbox Pro 5, and I'm just kinda concerned about heat management. It has a solid top panel and the one rear fan. I'm gonna build around a 7700X / 4070 I think, so getting a new case is not a big extra expense relative to the project if it's gonna keep my poo poo frosty. Should I bother with the legacy one?

yeah I can't remember why it's in the basement lol. maybe something my brother in law left behind when we helped him move. I have a 15-year-old CM690+ that has housed 3 different builds now and is better for working in / airflow than that thing looks like.

Maed posted:Hey all I'm looking to upgrade my processor/mobo but I'm not sure with what. I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600X in an ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS. My current GPU is a RTX 3060 ti and I'm not looking to upgrade that for a bit so I just want a processor that can keep up well with it. Mobo wise I want to make sure it has good wifi and bluetooth as I'd like to game with it from the couch ~10 feet away with a bluetooth controller. I mostly do 1080/144hz or 1440/60hz gaming though mostly games a few years old and am looking to spend less than $500. I have no loyalty to AMD or Intel so either works. Please help I feel too old and out of it to figure this out myself. how Microcenter Adjacent are you because this bundle fits your needs and leaves you power to spare if you'd like to eventually upgrade your video card next generation or wahtever

Maed posted:ooo that looks perfect but the Brooklyn Microcenter is out of it and shipping isn't available :*( Yonkers isn't THAT much farther away, but I guess it depends on how you value your time. also depending on how much other transit struggle you prefer and if you're OK with the bus you can take the 4 up to Woodlawn (heck or the 2 to Nereid Ave) and then hop on a bus. but those components will basically fit in a large messenger bag / easily a backpack so it's not like you'd be Printer Hauling your way back. oh uh, you'll also need a third party CPU cooler. slightly less value but the lower power combo would save you the money you need to tag a cooler on if the $500 is a hard ceiling.

neogeo0823 posted:Fair enough, yeah. To preemptively answer those questions, my budget would be "cheaper is better", on the grounds that this is a sudden thing and it's not like I planned on having this money available. But I also know that a quick googling of the various cards I posted directly about showed they were like $400, so I guess around there, give or take? Usage is pretty much entirely games, like Minecraft, Deep Rock Galactic, Death's Door, Hades, Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, and similar. Monitor resolution is 1920 x 1080 at 1080p, 60hz. I play those games on that resolution and refresh with your current processor, and a 2070 regular Get a 6700xt or a 6800 on extreme discount. You could also just get a 3060ti if you’re not gonna be looking to a bigger monitor at any time soon. Or a 4060 if your priority isn’t strictly value/$ and you want a leap in efficiency.

My current system is well due to be replaced, and I’m planning on getting the best mobo/processor I can afford within my budget ($2k), so they will hopefully last me quite awhile and allow me to upgrade my GPU and RAM a couple times over the next ~7 years like I’ve done with my current machine. at what resolution? 2080 holds up well but not superbly so just offhand you'd probly be fine at 1080p but not 1440p

Josh Lyman posted:Speaking of airflow, I've been trying to figure out if I should add any fans to the 2x 140mm stock on my Fractal North since I strongly prefer lower noise as long as there's no thermal throttling on my 7900X; my TUF 4070 OC has an overkill HSF. imho you're way overestimating the amount of change this will make. don't worry about it, or try your 5% fan curve bump. beyond a certain threshold, changing the air out faster will not help your cooler(s) radiate better.

FlamingLiberal posted:I just remember sitting it until you can feel it go into the socket, and then pushing down the holder or whatever it's called to secure it to the board. That was one of the lesser annoying parts of my last build. Back in the "pins on cpu" days it was way less spooky However I will say that the peerless assassin was VERY easy to attach / mount on an am5 socket. Way less fiddly than the last couple builds I've made

So my build booted right up, I've flashed the bios and all is good Except uh, cpu core idle at 52C is OK for a 7700X right? I've heard they run hot. ... But that seems a little too hot to me. Peerless Assassin Fan is at 30%.

Yudo posted:How hot does it get under load? Edit: and I mean how hot does it get playing a game (vs. Prime95, which isn't very informative in this situation given how zen 4 boosts). Zen 4 runs very hot, and the 7700x pushes a lot of watts through one tiny ccd. What is the ambient temperature? yeah I pulled up at the BIOS seeing that number and fiddling with the fan controller vs fan hub option in my Torrent I'm sure it'll be fine but I'll keep an eye on.

Wibla posted:Do a few runs of Cinebench back to back and see where the temps and scores land after a few minutes. That's more interesting than 52C idle. The CPU will boost hard until it hits 95C, then it will throttle to keep it at 95C, note down the scores from the first 3 runs and compare them to what others get. scores are in line, 19.5k average on multi-core over 6 tests. It's warm in this room, 25C before the test started. Idle is down to 48C now too, maybe the ~Haxcker Thermal Paste~ cooked in or something. I'm probably gonna dump the "all five case fans follow CPU fan curve" strategy that the onboard fan hub locks me into because jeez does it get loud, just a super unnecessary amount of air moving through empty space.
