  1. Past hour
  2. Also this was in my bios and I'm not sure if this correlates with the actual temps IMG_4030.HEIC
  3. What AMD chip would you suggest I cross-shop against? I did some poking around comparing against the Ryzen 7 7800X3D against the 13700k and the AMD was both a little more expensive and didn't offer as good of performance aside from being more energy efficient. If I'm looking at the wrong stuff by all means send me some articles or benchmarks to compare against - but at this point I'm going to go with the Intel chip (not that my mind couldn't be changed with the right data).

    Day 1915 of hating NZXT

    Is there a particular reason your hatred of NZXT is able to register for kindergarten now?
  5. I know, I said I like aesthetics, so I will most likely be going for water cooling. Planning on putting it in the h6 flow.
  6. Me: Theyre going to put Kendrick Lamar's Humble reference if they use title card right now. The title card: I am die. Thank you forever.
  7. I have a ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WI-FI AM4 AMD (90MB14F0-M0EAY0) Motherboard with a AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quad-Core installed and a new XFX - SPEEDSTER SWFT210 AMD Radeon RX 6000 Core 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card. The white Vga light on my board is on and I have no display and I'm not sure if it is posting or not. I upgraded my gpu hoping that would fix the issue but it didn't change at all

    So... file history? "b-bb-but IT'S NEW!!! AI!!!" It'll be hilarious when they start deleting user files for being offensive or some clown move like that.
  9. I'll have to keep that in mind for the Steam Deck. I'm considering an mitx build (I assume that's what you mean by SFF) and with the Corsair P2000 case. I've been intrigued by some of the newer stuff I've seen for windowed cases and RGB. I've never really been into that before but I'm liking what I see out of Corsair and have some links to what I'm considering in this thread I have going below. Also, given where I have to put the computer, while the mitx does save space, I'm not gaining much usable space in my set up and the other case I'm considering does give me something snazzy to look at. At this point I could pivot back to the mitx build - a few days ago I was dead set on a laptop haha.
  10. Nope. Let alone an NZXT one. You can get a high end air cooler for less than that.

  12. Hi guys I have question, but first here are my specs for my PC: Ryzen 7 5800x, 64gbs ddr4 3600mhz, RTX 4070, Pystar 1000W PS, 360mm NZXT Kraken. For some reason i've been having Idle temps at 60-65 degrees and I just applied new thermal paste too and it still remains at those temps with a 5-15% load. Is this an issue with a BIOS feature or can it do something with the cooler. I cant find the issue and I would love the help or an idea what's the issue. PS- Please excuse the awful cable management IMG_4029.HEIC
  13. The product page makes it pretty clear it's an LED-backlit LCD (IPS-type). LED-backlit monitors have been commonly labeled as "LED monitors" for over a decade.
  14. What about economic home security setup with all products from Amazon.
  15. oh my god, I thought that was a joke What the actual hell
  16. Oh don't worry, it's not an 80s mic. ...It's early 60s. Dynamic range will thusly be even worse. According to datasheets on the capsules, they start to fall off around the 40hz and 2000hz mark, but I fully expect a 10+% deviation from those numbers due to age. I do agree with you though - Didn't realize how dull some of my favorite older recordings sounded until I got a speaker good enough to hear the difference. In a way, the Voice of the Theatre A7 I restored ruined a few tracks for me because I realized it wasn't just my speakers that were the issue. Like when I saved up for a new DLP projector and its video was so clear that it made all my DVDs look like trash.
  17. Budget (including currency): $1000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Light gaming, mostly Factorio, some AAA modern games but not too much. I use a 3440x1440p monitor, so would be nice to be able to play most games at 60fps high settings. Other details: I am currently rocking a Ryzen 7 2700X (8c16t) and a Radeon VII GPU and I am starting to consider upgrading to something more modern. Not sure what the best path would be, thinking of going the 7800X3D route for the CPU, but factoring that and a new motherboard, I am wondering what GPU would be an upgrade to the Radeon VII I currently have without going crazy with something like a 4090. I have an 850W power supply that I would like to keep. I am OK with going used for the GPU as well, just not sure where to start.
  18. I'm really looking into buying a new CPU cooler, specifically the NZXT Kraken Elite preferably 360mm, I know its expensive but I like aesthetics. Now, would it a good idea to buy a used one off eBay or something? I have had an AIO leak on me before and kill my graphics card, but I was refunded. But because it's used and I'm not the original purchaser, should I still buy a used Kraken Elite? I've been eyeing this listing on eBay
  19. How much can you sell your 7600 for? If you can sell it, add 20-30 and buy the 7700K do it, if it's more it's not worth it. A 6700K is s good option too, but I believe those hold the prices too.
  20. Budget (including currency): INR 25000 Country: India Other details https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c3DPTY, I have bought the CPU, GPU, Memory and storage so far. Hello, I need some help with my case selection as you can see from the above parts list, I have a radiator for CPU and a radiator for GPU. The problem I am having with case selection is: - I live in a hot climate where sometimes temperature reaches 40 C. - If I get any off shelf case with say has capacity for 360 top and front supported radiator and mount both those radiators regardless of the position, I would have nothing to cool the memory. - So far I narrowed it down to Corsair 5000D and NZXT H6 flow (just because of the fan placement on corner and damn it looks good). What are your recommendations and if there is any other case that I can choose from, please let me know. Any help is appreciated. P.S. Not all cases you see in US and EU are available in India but most of them are and I need to stay in $250 budget if possible.
  21. Artisan pads? What do Boardzy and Fresh Reviews say?
  22. I asked about the multimeter because I thought your CMOS battery might be going bad, I've seen (and experienced) am4 boards experience such issues when the battery dies. Do check with Hard Disk Sentinel.
  23. It should let you set it to pump or like 80% in the UEFI. Its always possible its not running at a high speed which is preventing proper circulation under low load if its a 3 pin.
  24. What happens if you just use 1 stick of RAM? Same issue? If so, remove it and try the other stick of RAM. If issue still occurs then try it without the USB splitter. Would be good to rule it out since that's the only change you've made.
  25. I would really recommend just getting a new system, ryzen is always affordable and way faster.
