*CRUNCH*

*CRUNCH*

oh god that sound scared the shit out of me. $300 chips should not make that sound.

300$ this budget pc cunt

my cpu runs at 50 degrees idle and i cant be bothered to fix it

whats load temp

Just put some paste on that shit

still around 50-60 never hits 70

is that bad? my runs 48 watching youtube

Mine's 50-60, 96 load. It's been like this over two years. Assuming it will die any day.

That was six years ago and I still use the same processor.

fyi idle should be 22-25

ok youre good

I once destroyed a £450 CPU and a motherboard by not double-checking the thing was seated properly.

Yup, 30° ambient 23° CPU this checks out.

This is now the Sup Forums tech thread.

Is there a significant performance boost from DDR3 to DDR5? I don't feel like replacing my mobo since it works fine, but I don't think it supports DDR5.

I should upgrade my old shitty Phenom X4 but I'm kinda conflicted, I'm thinking about leaving games behind or some shit. Upgrading to Ryzen and DDR4 seems expensive, can't find reasonably priced 3200 RAM around here

IDK, placing my CPU down, putting thermal paste and mounting the fan was pretty satisfying to me. If I had money to piss, I'd build more computers.

You sound like a Sup Forums kiddie talking about the threadripper.

unless you have you cpu on a open case its fine the temp

>ryzen expensive
since when budget pcs are expensive

I didn't say Ryzen is expensive, I said DDR4 3200 is expensive here plus I can't even find a 8GB variety, a 16 GB G. Skill TridentZ set here is almost as expensive as a good AM4 board like the ASUS Prime B350 Plus or a MSI Tomahawk

DDR5 has better memory bandwidth and a significantly higher memory clock speed, although DDR3 has less latency.

it doesn't matter really because that's almost never the bottleneck.

My CPU is ancient but I can't find any excuse to actually upgrade it. The only game that doesn't run perfectly is Warhammer Total War, though that does run abysmally.

* creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek^99 *
* snap *

How do you even start learning about computer building?
I want to build one myself but I don't know shit about technical stuff.

>Assemble my own PC once.
>Bend the pins on the heatsink.

Fuck this shit. Who the fuck designs this?

Assuming anybody else lives alone, does anybody else like building computers while naked?

lol nah

*blocks your path*

Mine is around 40 with 5 million chrome tabs
Goes over 70 in really cpu heavy games though.

>Rip the CPU out
I mean, assuming this is an Intel CPU then there'd be no reason for it to be broken, the pins are on the mobo so no issues there

I just built my first PC but i can't connect it to the wifi and the ethernet is like 2 rooms away.
What do I need?

clean your fan?

AMD all day nigga

Fuck no.

That's not the cpu power

A wireless adapter you butthead

Same, I got an i5 2500k and it works fine. It's probably bottlenecking me sometimes but fuck me if I can tell, basically everything I have runs a 60 max settings with few frame drops.

Fuck Yes. Glorious 16 threads fully utilized, I need to move to Threadripper though to do 4k gameplay recording.

it's 2017, just watch a bunch of shit on youtube until you are an expert.
There's plenty of info out there.

Get a long cable and a nice long drill unless you want an inferior connection.

>tfw thick black (sometimes other colors) bars pop up and disappear immediately on the lower half of my screen while gaming, on average every 5 minutes
Is there any chance it's just the monitor and not the GPU? Haven't had the chance to try another monitor yet.

Ethernet cables on the corners of your place.

This shit is cheap and gives you better speeds than wifi.

this hurts to watch

Does it only happen when playing games

...

The pins go down toward the socket. The heatsink then goes on the side of the processor that's facing out.

You may be full-blown retarded.

I built my first computer about a year ago. So many online tutorials to help you and shit its really easy honestly once you get the hang of it. A website like PC Part Picker can help you find parts that all work each other.

>Weird bars appearing and disappearing
Zbh I'm not even sure if it's either of those things, could even be your cpu

you've got a rat my nigger.

do you have a Nvidia GPU?

I got a 970 but I'm kinda bummed with the Ryzen issues with nvidia for an upgrade

wtf is this a joke?

...

Pretty much. More often if I've played for a longer time.
How do I even troubleshoot? I can't just buy a new GPU or CPU to test with.

I had a 480, now a 560, I don't think nvidia has any major issues running on AMD hardware, look for a 1080ti SLI test on Ryzen vs 7700K, the Ryzen chip wins in a few games.

Besides that nvidia hates my freedom, at least AMD cares a little about it.

>Hellmann's brand mayo thermal paste

actually made me think

Fuuuuuuuck removing this garbage

Considering that's a syringe full of mayonnaise, I'mma let you figure it out.

sounds like gpu dying

You HAVE managed your cables, right user?

>50 degrees

Celsius?
If so mine is usually the same. Right now its 45C with just my Firefox(300 open tabs) and Steam.
Though here in South America is hot for 90% of the year, specially where I live.
Also I used to render a lot of videos and play heavy games and the CPU goes up to 70~80% sometimes.
Still I have this PC for over 3 years now using pretty much every day and the only thing that broke so far was a 1GB video card.

What can I build with $1000 or should I save more?

Back when I purchased the 970 was cheaper than the 290X or whatever was the AMD equivalent back then.

Did Nvidia fix the issues with Ryzen then? Because the benchmarks were showing some kind of problem where the AMD GPUs when paired with Ryzen would do much better than the Nvidia ones, that performed much better when paired with Intel CPUs.

I've never built a PC, but why is using too much a bad thing? If it's a non-conductive heat sink I can't imagine why it would ever cause problems.

Maybe today, but I did this in 2005 and that shit would NOT go in without a fucking fight. The 4 white pins were too fucking big for the sockets.

>upgrade my old shitty Phenom X4
nigga I have an athalon II X4 and a gtx 660.
Still not upgrading.
Might as well wait until it explodes or a PC only game forces me to upgrade.
My fans are gone in the PC and I have not cleaned the insides for 4 years

buy a 1080ti

My pc is worse and I can fix it with like 2 Sata cable desu. I need to get on that.

Save more. For $1,000 you'll have a bottlenecked system that won't even run Doom 4 maxed.

For $1,500 you could build a PC that will run anything on 1080p with no frame drops and will stay viable for new releases for at least 5 years.

user..

I kinda stopped playing games recently for a bit, so I was wondering if it was worth upgrading at all, or just investing somewhere else, maybe buying books or whatever.

video games

...

He can definitely make a good 1080p machine for 1k once video card prices settle down. Unless you're including the price of a monitor/keyboard/OS in that.

>buying books

POINT. AND. LAUGH.

is it okay if I use those wire things that come with sliced bread, what's the name of it again?:

I used them to manage some cables.

>click
>click
>click
>click

What the fuck dipshit you are way off

I have a CPU from 2011 and a gpu that cost $250 and I've never seen it drop below 60fps at 1080p on ultra/nightmare with like fucking 4 or 8x tsaa

Then again thanks to bitcoin miners you can't find my gpu for that cheap right now I guess so maybe that does put it at about 1k

bzzzrr bzzbzzbzz
bzzzrr bzzbzzbzz

>trying to remove cooling fan from DoA mobo
>release bolts
>trying to pull CPU fan off CPU
>SCCWHUNK
>CPU fan, with CPU still attached to it, are now out
>AMD4 CPU socket locket still locked
This is the face of fear.

Who /poor/ here?

I have this on my laptop and it's pretty much the screen
Of you want to check, remove gpu and plug your monitor to integrated graphics on your cpu

desu senpai I only made my PC because Total war, which I was a big fan of, started to become to graphical intensive my laptop could not handle it.
I haven't even played and RTS for 3 years now.
I prefer playing on consoles anyway

I can't find some pdfs online of some history books such as pic related, it's nice to have physical books anyway.

That shit is not technical son. Just have a build that's roughly similar to an online youtube video and it's as easy as watching the tutorial.

Also, PC parts are more durable than you think, the quicker you learn this the quicker you'll build your PC.

What did it mean by this

you don't know shit unless you have installed a tbird heatsink. you had to literally use a flathead screwdriver and apply pressures TOWARDS the motherboard and if you slipped you were fucked six ways to sunday.

>mfw pushing hard on the GPU to fit it in a fresh build
>mfw hearing a loud crack
>not mfw everything works fine

Gonna try this when I can, thanks. So I just connect the monitor to the motherboard?

>Mfw living in constant fear that the next time I turn on my computer it'll start whirring like crazy, start smoking and die right there
>Or some wire is going to get stuck in one of the coolers and fuck shit up
>Or an electrical surge will just fry your computer because fuck you

>no crack when I installed cpu or gpu
>everything works fine

It's a HDD's way of saying "It's time for me to go to sleep. It was nice serving you".

Why are DVD writers and readers so fucking fragile and tend to break very easily?

I swear they last like 1 year tops. I've stopped giving a fuck and just reinstalled Win 7 via USB and shit. Fuck those things, chinese paper bags last longer than them. Anyone who wants to use a CD or DVD here gets told to get with the times nobody uses that shit anymore.

>power dips

I was including the Keyboard/Mouse/Windows prices. But to be fair, I'm actually thinking in 2015 terms, still, my bad.

I always leave the room after I turned my computer on and return 2 minutes later.
Because obviously nothing bad can happen when I am not there to see it.

>So I just connect the monitor to the motherboard?
Yeah

>buying windows
KMSPico, son.

>pc gaming gear is not video games

>Or an electrical surge will just fry your computer because fuck you

its not 2002 anymore. psus are designed to sacrifice themselves if such a thing happened. that's also depending on your surge protector also failing in which case that would be one hell of a surge. its memes like that scare people for nothing.
