    Dedayog got a reaction from OddOod in The cycle just goes ON and ON...   
    So you're having issues finding the PERFECT fan, is that right?  Chasing waterfalls...
     
    What's wrong with the ones you have?  Can you point out what they are failing at or you don't like?  Or is this all an OCD issue where you struggle to settle or make a decision?
     
    I ask because all these fans are simply... just fans.  They all work with minor variations.  If you';re squabbling over the smallest of details... you're going to just get more "someone said" stuff here.  Someone will like Corsair, someone won't, someone will recommend Lian Li, someone will say they suck cuz their dog had them in their super computer, etc etc etc.
     
    Hopefully you can come to terms with the fact your current fans are just fine and enjoy them.  Or ignore all the chaos and buy what YOU like.

    Minecraft's memory issues aren't with your installed RAM, but the amount allocated in the Java settings.

    You get a PSU based on the CPU/GPU, not the motherboard.
     
    Finalize the build, selecting PSU last based on all other parts.

    Dedayog reacted to RONOTHAN## in More expensive b650 or cheaper x670/x670e?   
    Even a B650M-HDV/M.2 (one of the cheapest B650 boards) would satisfy those requirements. It's got a good enough VRM to power a 7950X, it has two USB 3 front panel connectors, and while it doesn't have built in WiFi, adding a WiFi card to it is ~$20-25 for an Intel AX210, a very solid WiFi adapter.

    Dedayog got a reaction from WereCat in Steam Desk - official refurbished units, great pricing...   
    My gf has finally gotten into  PC gaming due solely to the Steam Deck (as a concept).  Being able to play together rather than find time to "get away" to get my game on is priceless.  Steam has official refurbished units but they seem to be the original LCD versions, not the OLED.
     
    We play Palia currently, but have played New World and Enshrouded recently too.  Performs fantastic for a handheld and devs are actively optimizing for it which is nice.

    Dedayog reacted to Agall in Steam Desk - official refurbished units, great pricing...   
    Making that Z1 (non extreme) ROG Ally an even harder sell.
     
    What's great is the across WAN game stream if you have a desktop. The battery life is absurd with the OLED version, so I imagine the LCD version would be also absurd. 
     
    IMO, Steam Deck is worth it for the game stream feature alone for anyone who already has a capable PC. Even if they're not using it often, the times where you'd want it, its well worth it.
     
    I think even if a Steam Deck 2 comes out, the first gen and OLED refresh are just too good to pass up.

    Dedayog reacted to Hinjima in What Power Supply I need for a ASROCK B450 Pro4?   
    It all depends on your CPU and GPU that you want.  A solid 650w will go a long way and 750w will give some overhead.
    I run a Ryzen 7700x with overclocked RTX 4080 on a 750w and could easily run it on a 650w as well.
     
    What CPU did you get?
  10. Agree
    Dedayog got a reaction from Blasty Blosty in Why does my PC crash?   
    I'd probably start with:
     
    1.  Update BIOS, Windows, all drivers.
    2.  Reset BIOS to Defaults
    3.  Memtest, or just run with 1 stick at time to rule out faulty module.
     
    Start there, one at a time.

    The sub is a community run and led project. LMG officially acknowledges it, and has "in case of emergency break glass" admin access to it, but to my knowledge they don't oversee it day to day.

    Dozens.  Most made by Fractal.  Namely the North, fantastic case to build in.  Or any of the Meshify line, or Define line.  R6 was a joy.

    6700XT or 6800 is what I would suggest for 1440p in a vacuum since you don't tell us what games or fps you're shooting for.
     
    1440p Minecraft can be played on a calculator for example 🙂

    I use a 7700x and I love it.  You need to change your DDR4 RAM to DDR5 as AM5 only supports DDR5.
     
    The MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI, ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi and the ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI are all great mATX boards with great VRM cooling.
     
    750w will be plenty, I use a RM750i with my 7700x and overclocked RTX 4080 without issues, I see around 400-450w total system power draw during heavy gaming.
     
    Discounts vary from shop to shop 🙂
     
    The new CPU's are quite close to release as we have started to see BIOS updates for the Ryzen 9000 series on almost all AM5 motherboards.
    But you can always wait for something better right?
