The X670 has more PCIe lanes, better VRMs, better build quality, more I/O, etc. I'd rather have more feats than I need now, then regret not having something I need, later. And the price difference is ~50euro anyways (at same product tier), so why bother with the weaker chipset? @podkall As i said earlier DD2 is just one reason. And if it was just this, I wouldn't bother at all.

All updates will stop it will still run but be open to any and all security problems to come. Good you have a plan.

My plan, I had already started. I was moving all important things to D drive, which I already upgraded once. I was going to wait until I got up the prep work to get a new MOBO, RAM, and CPU, then migrate the PC, get a new NVME SSD and make it move over there. And will 10 stop working in 2025? I know people still running 7. I was going to run 10 until the "forced migration" and then spend a weekend making 11 exactly like 10, because every time I have to use 11 at work, I almost vomit. It's so gross in every way. I hate it.

Hello ! I bought this monitor : https://aoc.com/us/gaming/products/monitors/c27g2ze-bk few month ago and i have an Asus TUF Gaming F15 with an i7 11800H, RTX 3050ti, 16go of RAM. My monitor is plug on the thunderbolt to display port. I tried many things : - I first plug my monitor on the HDMI, but it show only up to 144hz (like on the screen). I tried this with few differents cable, but it change nothing, it's maybe because of the hdmi port on the laptop - I tried with a thunderbolt to displayport and it show 244hz ! BUT it's not really 240hz i tried with an other PC (an old enterprise pc that I clean and upgrade a little : - xeon and 1050ti with 24go of ddr3 ram) and it was really 240hz i can feel the difference. I wonder if there is bios settings on my laptop to limit the hz of the screen, because my laptop screen is 144hz. Thank you for your time and ask if there is not enought informations !

yes it should be, how much is the one with more RAM (if applicable)

I would buy an AMD card, but you do you. I do not like how Nvidia prices their shit nowadays. Getting the 7900XTX really depends on you using upscalers or not, if you need upscalers or frame generation along the line I would go for Nvidia. If we are talking raw performance, mostly, the 7900XTX is going to be better. Again, you do you, but as a Pascal GPU user I would never pay Nvidia because of their pricing, until of course it drops.

is the 8gb ram version fine for any phone?

Saw this on YouTube. You guys should try this out.

Wdym?I mean you can do anything you want with it. I won't dissolve this thread into a Linux vs whatever people think Linux is thread though.

Ok, will do, and yes X470, couldn;t remember exact number when giving you a quick specs, checked since.

Budget (including currency): 1950 Euro's Country: The Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: RDR2, GTAV, FiveM Roleplay, and general work tasks including some 3D Rendering. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Going to play on 2 1440P monitors. And gonna buy the list within 1-2 months. Question: Let me know your opinions! My own Part Picker List: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/3Bm77R

If you plan to upgrade later on I would suggest going AM5. Get any CPU falls into your budget. Get a motherboard which is from a reputable place and is a solid deal (offers quality, performance and has nice features you will likely use). The 5800X3D is a massive upgrade.

Why not? You have a disk with program files with a list of allt he programs. So you have the names and can find it. I do have to ask. What was the plan for when you needed to replace this pc be it by your own choice or unexpected failiure? It wont last forever and with win 10 going down in 2025 it will only be able to run patched 11 for so long. Start with a fresh install and then install all you need when you notice you need it. Id defo get a copy of the 850 evo to the hdd for files you need as from rereading things I have a feeling it is kinda fucked on a hardware level or just massively borked file wise.

@saintlouisbagelsshouldn't I get something with better ratings? unless there is something something special about it

Nope mobo is fine. If you are dual booting windows with linux, you may find time runs out of sync,. This is because windows and linux differs in they way keep track of time. You need to either configure windows to use utc or configure linux to use rtc https://www.howtogeek.com/323390/how-to-fix-windows-and-linux-showing-different-times-when-dual-booting/ When the desktp freeze try pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 (or any function key to F12). This should quit the gui and enter the tty (terminal command only interface). Type your username/password. Then run this command journalctl -b -p 0..3 This will filter the boot log, and print out any errors. Should help guide where the desktop environment is having issues.

I have the "Best" at top that jay uses but all wiring is in lian li hub. It seems i need to open up and tinker my way in and see whats up. Maybe even use some of the extra wires i have and set it up different way

Skyrim has a lot of mods available for it, Bethesda is historically a very mod friendly company. As much as I would like to see mods on the Witcher, I do not think a lot of people will jump on to it due to the age of the game. Not saying there will be no mods, just saying that Skyrim is modded into oblivion. Even if the Witcher gets a load of mods it will not have Skyrim levels of them.

Hey all, currently unsure if I should upgrade just my CPU to 5800x3D on my mobo, or to just go 7th gen ryzen with a new mobo and DDR5 ram. Specs: Asus Crosshair 6 Hero Ryzen 7 3700x GSkill trident Z Neo 4x16gb @3200MHz So I am wanting to get into tarkov again, my current system struggles now at 1440p in which I have actually quit as it has become so laggy and just plain unplayable. So my predicament is pay $600 for a 5800x3d as that is compatible with my 1st gen ryzen mobo and hope it gives enough performance? Or for the same price get a 7800x3d but pay additional for a mobo and ram, which motherboards at least are not cheap at all. The CPU's here in NZ anyway are pretty much identical, so it is worth spending $600 for a cpu now or do I wait a bit and get the 7800x3d with mobo and ram, currently would not be able to afford all the 7th gen parts as the mobo and ram are not cheapest here. Last note is I am not 100% sure if the 5800x3d will even make much of a difference over my 3700x. Thoughts?

Are you connected to your integrated GPU? What is this platform you are on, that may help too. Does it just completely lock up?

Yeah, at fan speed 0% it might be an issue. Perhaps it's just a bad fan curve or fan/pump header unplugged.

To be brutally honest, if you have no experience with Linux and are not a programmer or IT professional, it will probably be easier for you to debloat Windows 10/11 than to live with Linux. That's just my experience (I used Fedora 36 as my daily for 2 months and it was a pain). I see you have an AMD GPU so it will probably test your patience a lot less than it did for me, but I strongly suggest that you try "maining" your chosen distro on a VM before you start using it on bare metal, so that you know what to expect and there would be fewer unforseen issues. And about the performance question, it is completely up to the game. For me, Elite Dangerous and Project Cars 2 (with controller) ran just as good on Proton as they did Windows, while Arma 3 gets literally half the FPS that it gets on Windows, and BeamNG loads in with broken terrain textures. Also look out for how your hardware reacts, for example with me both my CPU and GPU ran at least 20 degrees hotter while running Linux than while running Windows, even when idling. Probably an Xorg thing, so it shouldn't be a problem for you since you're all AMD.

It could be. Just like it could not be properly installed. Or the thermal paste was low quality and dried out... Is the pump being set to follow PWM curve or is it at the full speed all the time? You want that water flowing. If you're sending less voltage to the pump, it might not be able to spin up. What is the position of the radiator relative to the pump? https://youtu.be/DKwA7ygTJn0
