Drake10114 reacted to Downkey in Asus Tuf A15

Excpect 80c+ while doing heavy work

Drake10114 reacted to Downkey in Asus Tuf A15
I have a laptop with these exact specs (16gb of ram tho) and my friend has this exact laptop. He only plays valorant and apex tho.
It's not that bad, and the 4600h is a good CPU. Although the A15 does run quite hot

Drake10114 got a reaction from Crunchy Dragon in Motherboard for Office PC
After reading some user reviews, the mobo I picked seems a solid choice and has most of the features I wanted, too bad it's not atx, but oh well.

I didn't hear anything about them regarding the durability,but it's good brand..especially the X470 models.I'm pretty sure you will like it.I have a Gigabyte mobo which is alive for 8 years or more

The cpu choice is a waste of resources. Use the i3-8100 instead. It is substantially less expensive. Has very decent performance. Also has four cores. Comes with a decent cooler that is more than adequate for its 65W TDP. But if you really want decent power, go with the i5-8400. It too is a 65W TDP part that comes with a cooler. Given the additional two cores, it should provide significantly better Excel performance. (Don't be fooled by the low stock speed, it has a max turbo of 4GHz.)
Makes sense to wait for less expensive motherboards, if possible. Especially if using the i3-8100 or i5-8400.
No point in using non-stock thermal compound. While it is not expensive one should add in the labor cost of removing the stock pad (if present), cleaning the surface, and applying the new. All of which is an additional opportunity to damage something.
Memory pricing and availability is as bad as that for gpu. As you say, get the best deal available at the time of purchase.
I would go with a smaller mATX motherboard and case. A windowless case because in an office environment windows get scratched and marred by cleaning products. If dust buildup is a problem, simply schedule annual or if needed more frequent cleanings.
There are very decent quality, less expensive psu. Besides, I think modular psu are not a great choice in office builds. It is far too easy to misplace cables.
It's a little early to be detailing a build. By May things may have changed significantly.

Drake10114 got a reaction from Damascus in (for me) huge pc project 3000€ watercooled
Probably better off getting 2x16gb or 4x8 for the Ram, and perhaps 3000Mhz and up. Having not filled all the slots allows for minor upgrades in the future of ram needs to be increased.
And yeah, make it look cool lol.
Good luck

Drake10114 got a reaction from mmCharles in Black Friday/Cyber Monday wishlist

Drake10114 got a reaction from Crunchy Dragon in Want to upgrade.
Newer GPU's may get bottlenecked by the FX Cpu I think.
Regardless, I'd almost wait and upgrade the whole system and go for an entry lvl Ryzen or Coffee Lake CPU.

Drake10114 reacted to Herman Mcpootis in Please rate, aye?
ahh yes, the customer review section where half the bad posts are isolated DOAs and the other half are customers who don't know shit about what they're talking about, not to mention the good posts where a good lot of them just throw out 5-stars simply for it working for a few seconds. and not to mention this is just 600 out of god-knows how many millions of units out in the wild.

Drake10114 reacted to QuantumBit in "Budget" 4k capable PC
Then around $300, since I think a pentium g4560 can handle 4k video well, not sure what it would cost in europe but probably a bit more.

Drake10114 got a reaction from Tech Learner in Mid Tower Cases
Prairies unfortunately, but I'll take a gander. Idk how good used cases are though, but I imagine one's not too beaten up are decent.
Yeah, may go w/ Acrylic since we gotta move it down to Texas potentially, but idk if my bro wants a window.
Solid case nonetheless

Drake10114 got a reaction from DarthVader1022 in Need help building new PC for Landlord
I'd use the IGPU on the Kabylake CPU. It will be more than enough for what the landlord is doing and probably more powerful than the gpu you have.

Drake10114 got a reaction from Varpin in Ryzen 5 build, some help needed on planning
Only thing I see that could be not worth the price is the 960 evo, since a 850 evo will be good enough.
As for questions..
1. Should be
2. Can be, but you'd benefit more from going to 3000Mhz Ram.
3. If it's the Seasonic S12ii or M12ii 520w than it is within the same tier as Corsair's CXM. If it isn't, then go w/ the corsair.
4. Asthetically the S340 is nicer than the case you chose. I imagine the S340's 3.5" mounts are horrible, since it is a widely popular case.
5. Change the SSD to a 850 evo, and you could save some $$.

Drake10114 reacted to Mohenjo in Is my PC be good enough for future aaa releases?

K, picked out a B350 MSI Tomahawk for my bro's future potential build. Don't know too much about whose good on AMD side. the MSI gaming pro carbon is definitely a nice board

Over your amount but...
G4560 and B250 works out to 140 euros, so within your realm. Idk which parts you all have though to have it below 500 euros.
Remember to not compromise on a PSU.. get a decent 1.
