  1. if I can get something that is better for slightly more then it's worth it to me, but this is a whole 60$ for primarily lows at hundreds of FPS.. I'm going to be gaming at 4k 60hz I'll check with some other people about tightening down some RAM timings to see if 3000/16 can go down to 3000/15, assuming it's some random die and not micron e
  2. to me nothing really makes sense for price/perf because I am looking at the higher end stuff anyways because I want to be able to go there later on. It makes a lot more sense if I went for the 100$ K4 and then probably 2x8 3600/19 I want to have the max price/perf, but the thing is that when you have pretty much no set budget, and you want to be able to drop in a higher end CPU/RAM, it doesn't make sense now but it'll make sense later maybe.. I really don't want to lock myself to a 3600 / 3700x max alongside 32GB max just to save ~100$ on the motherboard side and ~80$ on the RAM side because it's not as economical to get a whole new platform when I need more CPU Isn't 3600/19 slightly slower than 3000/16? I know infinity fabric is tied to the ramspeed, but with zen2 I could just independently overclock that and on both sides I can tighten down the RAM a bit, but wouldn't I get lower latency with 3000/15 over 3600/18?
  3. it'll look worse (lower quality) but you'll have more screen space keep it at native if you want text to look good
  4. Minecraft servers in the background, chrome, sometimes Minecraft + a actual game, I really don't have much needs as I say but my 3770k struggles to even hit 60fps and I've been gaming on my laptop I'm going to get 32gb regardless, I don't want to be ram limited ever again 4900x in the future when the 3600 is as old as my 3770k and i need a better cpu. minecraft is what im doing right now but it isn't what ill be doing forever the whole point of AM4 for me is to be able to upgrade higher in the future when I need it, to be able to get 64GB when I need it and to get a 12/16c when I need it, just because my requirements are basically a i3 8350k doesn't mean that I want to be stuck on Z270 and locked to ~9900k tier
  5. 3600 is 60$ more over 3000 and it's c19 over my c16, I'm more concerned about even being able to hit 3000 because dual channel dual rank high capacity sticks are in use. afaik this makes it more difficult to clock higher and higher
  6. I've been planning a whole platform upgrade for a while now and I think I've finalized the components, but I just want to do a quick check to make sure that what I'm buying actually makes sense with more people than just the immediate tech discords I am apart of PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $259.50 @ shopRBC Motherboard Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard $219.00 @ Canada Computers Memory G.Skill Aegis 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $159.99 @ Newegg Canada Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $638.49 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-08-04 18:50 EDT-0400 I don't really have a set budget, I just want to get something that makes sense right now and also will make sense in the future. I only need a new motherboard, CPU and RAM; I already have peripherals, monitor, GPU, case, etc. I only want to buy from these vendors in Canada: CPU - I chose this because it's the most price/performance CPU that makes sense for me. I plan on pretty much only playing Minecraft, a game that doesn't utilize more than a core at once. I don't video render, I don't video edit, I pretty much only play Minecraft and some other older AAA games (Witcher 3, Hitman 2, GTA V, Cities Skylines, Metro 2033) on the side sometimes. I'll be using the stock cooler that comes with it because my current cooler doesn't support AM4. Motherboard - I chose this because of VRM quality concerns when I want to upgrade in the future, and because this has a higher chance of supporting Zen2+. Right now I want to use a 3600, but in the future if I want to upgrade, I want to be able to slot in a 4900x or a 4950x. I could probably go for a Asrock B450 K4 (100$) and that'll do my 3600 just fine, but apparently VRMs on budget motherboards are bad, and won't do well with a upgrade. I could also go for a tomahawk (150$) and that'll be fine for a 3800x, but that only has a 128Mb BIOS, the max revisions don't exist in Canada yet. I can step up again to the X470 Prime Pro for 200$ and it has 256Mb BIOS but I might as well step all the way up for a X570 for only 50$ more. I need to update the BIOS anyways to support Zen2 which is either waiting a week for the bootkit from AMD, or paying CC 25$ to update it for me. RAM - Cheapest 2x16 that is faster than 2133/2400. I have some concerns with running 2x16 because dual rank dual channel high capacity high speed on ryzen but oh well. I really want to be able to go for 64GB in the future. 32GB now is a requirement. I'm just mainly concerned with my motherboard choice and if it is sane. It feels very weird buying a 250$ motherboard with a 300$ CPU but I don't want to be locked into my 3600 choice in the future when I want to do a CPU upgrade again in the future like my 3770k.

    is minecraft actually being more popular in gen…

    the minecraft youtubers that I've used to watch have all died aside from dw20 and ethoslab, but hermitcraft people are still going strong as far as I know in general I don't watch / didn't see gaming videos anymore and I thought 'they died' until I found gaming again and it's still going strong
  8. is minecraft actually being more popular in general or is it just becoming popular again with the type of people to watch pewdiepie / reddit?

  9. my RVII has shit core OC (1900 at 1100mV) but it seems like it has god tier mem oc

    can't get higher than 1200 without power play mod, can't go over 1300 without adjusting core amps/volts

    H y p e, loved watching Invader Zim as a kid. N…

    hYPEEEEEEEEEE
  11. uh oh 3770k will bottleneck in some games but will be fine in others, usually post processing kills it or games that have been traditionally ai heavy (civ 6? idk, i don't game much) i run a 3770k @ 4.4ghz and a rvii
  12. the usb c port died on my macbook pro thinkpad

    yay, because they fucking put usb c charging, it's not a simple charging port cable swap:

    s-l1600.jpg

    it's soldered directly to the motherboard, a port ill use at least twice everyday

     

    thank u lenovo

    i am very very very very tempted to get a 3600/…

    I literally have been playing minecraft only this year. I regret buying my VII because I thought I'd game more with a real GPU (something not a GTX 760) but.. I really want a CPU upgrade, but I've been saying that for 3 years now. 3770k still works but my laptop outpaces it in minecraft FPS now (30fps vs 50ish)
  14. my case has 5 5.25" bays and i only have 3 optical drives. need more shit in there!
  15. your r3 is limiting you feel free to raise graphics settings i guess, might as well get 100% gpu and 100% cpu

    i am very very very very tempted to get a 3600/…

    my laptop gets 60fps, so i at least have that, but like.. i want to play on my desktop monitor with kb/m at the minimum but my laptop can't output 4k without shitting itself also shaders will work well on my desktop but cpu shits itself
  17. cs is really cpu dependent on single core, not sure about fornite probably cpu bottleneck if the gpu isn't used much and the cpu is pinned (check task manager while gaming, check cpu and gpu usage)

    Wonder when RX 480s/580s will fall down below $…

    i remember the 2017 forum beta was on my phone while at the mall with a group of random people i didn't like and was talking to a friend at that time feels bad man

    Wonder when RX 480s/580s will fall down below $…

    that was when was added to everything and it counted before there was just a 'like' and it gave you a 'like' counter

    ok wtf it was introduced around this time.. wow time goes fast

    the update that added the community reputation
  22. i am very very very very tempted to get a 3600/x

    i don't need the cores, just the ghz/ipc/clockspeed for fps in minecraft because 3770k is shit

    but like, i don't need it, and my pc works

      I'm in the exact same position as nearly everyone here xD ..but on Modded (Very heavily =D) Minecraft 1.12.2 instead of 1.14.3 lol - I keep thinking it's still My RAM from time to time but the majority of the time, I'm thinking it's My Ryzen 1600. I had to force-restart My PC unexpectedly yesterday because everything just froze on Me after launching Minecraft, lol.
