who wants a promocode for 10% off ddr4 ram at Newegg: BTEFGEF22

I want to install a new fan using Asus FanConnect for my new 1060 Strix GPU, but I'm a massive newfag.
Is it better to have a fan blowing onto the flat side of the GPU? Or is it better to be blowing onto the side with the fans?
I don't think my main case fan's wire can even reach my GPU's connector, and it's a 3pin connector anyway, whereas my GPU is 4pin.
Connor Turner
is it okay to use this shit to rewire things that came with all the cords?
Jaxon Howard
these are all the unused power supply cords. It is okay just to leave it like this?

So I'm thinking about getting a 120gb SSD to put Manjaro on as both a workstation, and something to cushion the fall should my 1tb hard-drive die due to some stupid reason. There's just one problem, I'm already spending the max amount of money in my budget. Should I get it or is it just a meme?
Benjamin Reyes
Already bought the ram on black friday unfortunately. $10 bucks off that crucial balistix yo.
Aiden Kelly
Should be fine. There's a Linus Tech video on whether or not the rats nest of cables has an impact on your temperatures. With cables that sparse, you literally don't have to worry about it.
You might bundle and zip tie the spares together so it looks visually appealing.
Kayden Miller
Thinking about swapping my mobo. Is the Z97-HD3 still good? I've had it since 2014.
This is my PC that I'm planning on ordering. Also I'm Canadian so things are more expensive than the US, can anyone suggest something better than this but with the same price range? (also pic unrelated)
will the price of my build fluctuate substantially in the near future? two days ago my build cost $769, now it cost $828. wondering if I should buy now if this is as good as it'll get for a while, or wait for it to drop again.
why would you get a z170 mobo if your cpu isn't even capable of OC?
Colton Sullivan
Is this audio thing necessary? It says it's for the pc beeping noise. It's touching the gpu...is it okay?
Adrian Stewart
that's a fucking god awful picture, and I don't know for sure what you are talking about, but I assume it's the speaker if it's touching the plastic of the gpu and isn't that close to the fan then it's fine but no it's not needed (unless your pc is fucked up and you need the beep code)
Ryder Taylor
i3 6100
Kinda shit, I bet you got that from Logical Increments
If you're getting the Z170 mobo, get 3000MHz RAM Can drop to a B150 if you never plan to buy an unlocked CPU. In that case stick to current RAM Add 240GB SSD
Buy it
You don't need the speaker. Mostly for error codes

ok yeah. I was just double checking and saw this shit in the bag with screws, and read the manual. My last pc never had this beep shit so I'll take it out
Charles Sanders
I could use some help setting up my cooling.
Pic related is my case and I highlighted fan points including my PSU intake on the bottom, those are all 120mm by the way (I could go dual 140 on the front instead if that's better?). I currently have 4 fans to use. The default config is one front intake, my psu intake at the bottom, and a rear exhaust. I'm looking for better temps, but don't want it extremely loud. Specs are i5 6500 and rx 480 8gb
Is that buzzing sound my CPU fan? Should I be cleaning the dust at this point? I might be overthinking it a tad but I think it feels a touch louder than usual.
Ryder King
Post speccy (temps)
Luis Kelly
My build in a 500r. The cable management is weird in it. Hard drive cages are floppy pieces of shit. But there's tons of room, lots of radiator placement holes, included gigantic side intake fan is really nice. I wish I could remove the dvd bay because I don't use it. Overall its OK but I wouldn't buy it a second time.

bumping with another question, positive vs negative pressure? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both
Gabriel Evans
Is the other thread archived? I wanted to see if my question got answered or not.
Angel White
2.0 of my build, pls r8. I want to get ordering ASAP.
Just to clarify:
I know it's ATX, that's fine. I know my case is big, that's fine.
The PSU is fine, I don't need it any weaker as the 550w is only a few pounds cheaper.
That is a 1440p 60hz monitor, that's fine. I don't want to get involved in 144hz until there are better cards.
Asher Perry
blower style or open style gpu?
Ryder Clark
I own pc porn with Corsair 540 Air, Gigabyte GTX 1080, iyvbridge i7 3770 (witch im Skylaking soon), 16Gb DDR 3 Cheapo-RAM, 2x 250gb Samsung Evo 840-850, 2x 2TB cheapo storage HDD's, a 27" 1920x1080 and my Baby a 28" 4k 60Hz Samsung. I just use that pc juat for Gaming and CS6 Photo Shit. In Germany you pay 2000-2500€ for such a Maschine but i think it dont Worth it so Well with the new 1050ti in Store. And you realy just need that 8GB GPU for 4k Gaming. Triggering, my gf plays Sims 3 with 700-1200 FPS...
so according to pcparkpicker I can build a decent budget system with an i3-6100, 1050, ssd, and 1tb hdd, case+psu combo, etc for under $400.
would you guys suggest this as something for a neet to make some money from? selling these on craigslist and ebay
Brayden Cruz
So I'm thinking about upgrading my 660ti to a gtx 1070, but do you think my AMD FX 8150 8 core 3.9ghz cpu will bottle neck the rig? Obviously it's gonna hold it back and I plan to upgrade the CPU soon.
Owen Carter
>brother asked me to build him a rig on an $1800 dollar budget >bought all the components a few days ago >assembled them today >everything works, nothing to RMA, benchmarks well
That's a load off. Definitely the priciest system and components I've assembled. Now hopefully everything just keeps working so I don't get blamed for any user problems down the line...
Ryan Williams
Yes. Get 1060 6GB or rx 480 instead, no point going for high-end product like 1070 if you can't afford a good CPU for it too.
Anthony Miller
I was gonna upgrade the CPU and mother board in March.
Dominic Parker
The gpu will give a pretty noticeable boost but yes that cpu will bottleneck any recent gpu. Fx 81xx have pretty dogshit single core performance.
Easton Murphy
pcpartpicker.com/list/6JpwkT Building my first PC and I have the case and graphics card already. Anyway I can improve this without going over $500? Wanna play overwatch and arma but dont know if it's good enough to run. Don't care about running games on ultra, medium or high is fine.
Ryder Wright
This is what ive been working on, a budget build. Any tips or advice is appreciated, mainly for gaming and possibly 3D modeling in the future.
Robert Gonzalez
What's the fatest way to make my cat look like that?
Yeah I know the case looks gay as fuck but I picked it was the least expensive with the best specs of the bunch
Christian Hughes
Why not build your own PC? That thing is ok, but the hardware is soon to be obsolete and no idea about the price.
Charles Wilson
The price Would be 775 dollaritos but it's converted with the Br taxes and I have more or less 850 to expend

Baby's first PC build:

pls no bully

I don't think it is. With that mobo I don't think I could clock even if I wanted to.
Jason Hall
I'm in the same situation, but I have an i5 3570K. I also game at just 1080p.
Hudson King
yo, im trying to build an ultra jew-ey gayming PC
gonna be going to a couple places tomorrow looking for decent systems that I can scavenge the CPU+Board+PSU out of that I can slap some GPU [around RX480 price/tier]
What CPU's should I be looking out for? I've heard good things about 2500k The most i'd be willing to spend is around 60 AUD, but even then it'd have to be a pretty good one
I have old cases I can just slap shit in, and extra fans are dirt cheap anyway. Really I just want to be able to play planet coaster at a decent quality, and be able to render shit in premiere with reasonable time
>tldr; what are the best second hand budget CPU's under 60 AUD?
Ian Cox
>60AUD Nothing.
Eli Lee
fuck off i've business surplus systems with 2550k's for $40 in the past just wondering if there is anything else that i should watch out for

Wow, didn't think of adding a video card to an i3 for budget gaming.
Normies buying for their kids will just go to Best Buy if they want to get a PC. Anyone who's into PC gaming but actually an idiot when it comes to parts will only buy I to something if it's got the i7+1080 meme.

Finally took the wageslave plunge and will be able to afford a replacement for my 5 year old toaster shortly, pic related is basically what I'm looking at right now
I'm Yuro so the manufacturer will be different for a couple of the parts, but the specs are all pretty much what I'm going for.
Any opinions or advice, have never built my own PC before.
Is upgrading to Win10 worth it or should I stick with 7? Should I get the Pro edition if I do get 10?

How do I measure the compatibility for a GPU/CPU combination?
IE: If I were to buy a 1060 or an RX 480, how am I supposed to find out the perfect processor to go with it in the long term with minimal bottleneck? Sorry for the noob question; CPUs are confusing to me.
Isaiah Anderson
sup /pcbg/
I have a shitty laptop with an i3 4010U @1.7ghz
Would it be viable for me to buy one of those external GPU PCIE things [and a gpu of course], or should I spend the extra couple hundred for a decent CPU+board?
I have a PSU and case from a like 7 year old PC that should still work
Money is kinda tight but my laptop just struggles to do anything at this point.
Brayden Collins
Bought the gpu and cpu already. Thoughts on the rest?

You sit there and keep joking, because you are a joke, your entire life is a fucking joke. I'm sitting here with a superior intellectual and keen eye to succeed in everything I do. I succeed so fucking well I buy the best parts and make the best PCs. And you're fucking nothing.
I'll be over here living it large and good; Arma 3, 1080p, you're miles behind me. Keep on making those jokes though, you fucking clown.
Brandon Hernandez
TOPKEK. I just hope you have a fire extinguisher at home.
John Bennett
Why no r8? Is it good to go?
Jonathan Garcia
What does reference cooler GPU mean?
Couldn't I just use MSI Afterburner or whatever to change fanspeed if it runs too hot, or add some extra fans?
I don't get it.
Grayson Perez
Far as I know if you can get older bios then you can OC with proper Z170 mobo.
This build is bit retarded, with bit more money on CPU(i5-6400), bit more money on GPU(1060 3GB or RX470/480 4GB), bit more money on Mobo(Z170) you can easily have a solid 1080p build.
Yes, Z170 can OC locked skylake.
Isaac Jones
First time PC builder here, just finished putting most of my shit together... I have a problem though. when I turn the computer on it black screens if plugging the DVI into my GPU but if i take out GPU and plug DVI into motherboard with onboard graphics, i get my BIOS to show up. I'm pretty shut i plugged the GPU in wrong, i didn't hear a click and didn't have to depress the clip to take the GPU out. Question is- do i install the GPU first, then windows, then drivers or windows -> GPU -> drivers or windows -> drivers -> GPU? I dont have a disk drive to install the disk drivers
Logan Bailey
shouldnt matter which order its done just make sure its properly seated, boot into windows and download/install drivers
Joshua Bennett
so the GPU will work when installed properly w/o drivers to display bios and install windows? (obv not for running games)

It's literally the same as the old Barracuda. They just slapped a new gaymer sticker on the tin, that's all.
Angel Rivera
Not the user who posted the picture but, the technology is done. WD does the same thing. At this point you are looking at optimization increases in the 1-5%. The selling point of newer models is reliability and that's reflected in the warranties getting bigger and bigger. In 5 years HDD will have 8 year warranties on average (although I don't see them having much use outside of servers.)
Thomas Wood
Yes. Barracudas are as good as anything
Sebastian Martin
Do you really need to get four extra fans? The case comes with three.
