    Considering Microsoft is a sponor of Mclaren, you might have to run Linux instead of Windows ;D.

    You probably have already, but if not I highyl recommend Terraria. Cost a few bucks during sales and you can easily sink hundreds of hours into it.

    monjessenstein reacted to Dedayog in Air cooling is king?   
    Too many variables to say definitively.  Air Cooling is very good and AIO's have their uses outside of just raw cooling.  Depends on what you want out of it.

    It might support 8K, but no way is it going to run games at that resolution (unless we're talking single color puke textures).

    monjessenstein reacted to GoldenLag in Can i use a 3000MHz RAM with my i5 9400f?   
    B365 is locked to 2666mhz.
     
    Note that in titles like the division 2 you might experience lower performance due to this. Though its not a whole lot of titles
     
    By a quite a few the 2600 is considered better buy due to this aswell as its extra threads.
     
    Though the 9400f will work just fine.

    Don't use 2x16GB 2400MHz RAM with Threadripper. Go with a 4x8GB 3000MHz kit instead.
     
    Depending what it's being used for, might not be any need for 32GB RAM here.
     
    Too slow RAM for Ryzen again.
    Super old, crappy PSU. There's better stuff for cheaper.
    Could save money with a smaller SSD (250GB or 500GB).
    Can save $30 by using the stock Ryzen cooler that comes with the CPU.
     
    Could buy a 2200G/2400G system instead and forego the graphics card. Would be able to get a much better system, and would give you a better starting point to upgrade later by adding a graphics card.

    For 400$ I'd probably get a 2200g with a b series board and skip the gpu to be honest, since you won't be investing money in a dead platform.

    monjessenstein reacted to minibois in Asking for a friend? (air or liquid cooled)   
    The chip doesn't produce less heat because of a better cooler; the cooler simply is better at removing the heat making the chip appear cooler (but really you're just 'throwing' more heat into the room).
    LTT did a video on this (which I hope I am paraphrasing correctly):

    monjessenstein got a reaction from Origami Cactus in Looking at an AMD office computer build need help understanding pcie lanes/ssd storage   
    AFAIK sata drives don't take up pcie lanes. You can get pretty cheap B350/B450 mobos with 6 sata slots so I'd do those.

    monjessenstein got a reaction from LukeSavenije in 400W PSU   
    Yeah should be fine, I have a 450W psu with a 470 and 1600 which would probably be around the same power budget.

    monjessenstein got a reaction from Origami Cactus in Is my GPU's default fan curve really supposed to be hard-capped at 50%?   
    The thing with fans is that as you increase them in speed, the less and less useful they become in cooling something. Blower style cards, since they only have one fan, need to pretty much do the work of two fans, meaning they have to spin exceptionally faster than normal ones to reach the same effect in cooling. There's no problem with running fans faster, but you start to make A LOT more noise then what you're gaining in terms of temperature. Nvidia probably limited the fan just to protect your ears. 
     
    PS. look at the graph in the video, as you can see the amount of heat effectively carried away dimishes drasticly with increasi in air velocity a.k.a. air speed, or in the case of fans rpm speed.

    monjessenstein got a reaction from Mavericknese in GPU Slot Matters?   
    AFAIK it's only the bottom slot that'll have less pcie lanes. Only thing I can think that would lower performance would be the smaller amount of space for airllow

    monjessenstein got a reaction from Technomancer__ in Is Minecraft bad for your PC?   
    A game being coded badly doesn't mean it'll damage your pc, only thing I could think of would be something like corrupting your hard drive. So no, running Minecraft (or really any game for that matter) is not bad for your pc or the components within.

    monjessenstein got a reaction from LukeSavenije in i5 8400 vs r5 2600?   
    AFAIK the 8400 and 2600 are roughly equal speeds in games. If I had to pick one I'd go with the R5, mainly because you'll have a better upgrade path in the future.

    I'd say the RX570, those things are amazing value at their current price point (especially compared to the 1050ti).

    At that point I'd suggest just getting an external gpu enclosure, seems like I'd be simpler to set up.

    Why not an RX 580 which performs basically the same as a 1060, but is significantly cheaper?

    I highly doubt you'd need the extra 2 cores from the 9900k if all you're doing is gaming though.
