  1. I'm not an expert at pc building but I decided to build my second rig a few weeks ago. I wasn't very confident when it came to mounting the stock cooler to the CPU and thought I was about to break my cpu/motherboard with all that pressure pushing down on it... Needless to say I pretty much smeared the thermal paste all over the cpu while trying to figure out how to mount it properly, but after fixing it place correctly securing the cooler it's still waaaay too hot for idle and loud for my preference... In the beginning the cooler was ramping up and down constantly... Tried setting some fan curves but the temps are sill way too high around 55-65C idle I'm thinking of buying the Dark Rock Pro 4 but not sure about it supports my motherboard as it doesn't appear on the official Be quiet! website :/ also not sure about if it can actually fit in my case and whether there is enough space for it next to my ram... any helpful tips are appreciated :) Motherboard - MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS Case - Silent Base 801 RAM - HX436C17PB3K2/32
  2. Budget (including currency): 2020-45 $US (Most parts are more expensive in my country exchanged to my currency) Country: Hungary Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I'm a Computer Science student, who likes to do a lot of stuff simultaneously, and would like to play some of the newest games on the highest settings... Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): My old rig https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/32841999 (which is gonna be gifted to a family member) and the monitor I'm currently using https://eu.aoc.com/en/gaming-monitors/g2590px (keeping this one until i have money for a better one). I'm okay with my peripherals rn, no need to upgrade there... The build I came up with: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor ($438.89 @ B&H) Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard ($149.99 @ Amazon) Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-2666 CL16 Memory ($131.96 @ Amazon) Storage: Intel 660p 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($143.94 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($44.99 @ Adorama) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($44.99 @ Adorama) Case: be quiet! Silent Base 801 ATX Mid Tower Case ($159.90 @ B&H) Power Supply: be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM 700 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply ($126.38 @ Amazon) Total: $1241.04 And ofc the +699$ 3080... which makes it - 1940,04 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-09-13 16:38 EDT-0400 I want this build to last me at least 7-9 years without bigger upgrades the case and power supply to be Be Quiet! the CPU to be AMD do well with renders and multi core oriented work (IDE running with emulator while there are hundreds of stackoverflow windows open, premiere pro/after effects/blender) Stuff I need help with is the motherboard good for the 3080? I'm still not sure about PCIe 4.0 gen, and how important that is... the CPU, i really don't think i want to wait for the 4000 series, but I'm not sure if this gonna bottleneck the 3080 power supply... is 700W enough for me? i don't need rgb the black edition is just more expensive so why would i buy that... Any other tips on the build? Other stuff: I'm upgrading my monitor to at least to 1440p but probably gonna go with this one's 4k variant if i have the money https://evedevices.com/pages/spectrum/ (yeah i play csgo for 7 years now, i want 144hz) I'm pretty stupid so correct me everywhere I'm wrong, thank you
