Does anyone know how the 15% promo code for jet.com works fully? Can I place three individual orders, each maxing the 30$ cap and potentially saving me 90$?
>Amd meme. Just wait for ryzen. I need a working desktop now, not when some vapourware comes out.
James Roberts
In that case, I haven't heard anything extensively bad about it. As long as its compatible you should be fine.
Evan Brown
Sweet, cheers.

Planning a gaming build cause my laptop died. Figure it makes sense to plan around most intensive game I play; Skyrim with ENB mods (2560x1080 & 75Hz). 1070 and 7600K an appropriate choice?
Ian Lewis
Don't know tooo much about enb mods but I haven't run into anything non 4K that I can't handle with my 1070 and a weaker processor than yours.
Henry Reed
What is the best motherboard for a core i5 6600 both in terms of pricing and compatibility/features
Hudson Moore
Also, is it true that skylake are the last intel CPU's that run with windows 7 until 2020 or so?
Should i get/wait for a newer generation AMD FX instead for roughly the same money so that i have a newer CPU and can still use windows 7 ur is the i5 6600 pretty much the way to go?
Lucas Sanchez
Building a small / lite PC, need your recs >needs 2 ram slots >needs a pci slot for GTX 560 SE >needs to be powerful enough to play some minor games and streaming movies >want to keep it as cheap as I can get away with
That said, mini itx or micro atx? Intel pentium/i3 or some AMD? Any cases good for light portability? I'm thinking about those Silverstone HTPC cases.
Brody Myers
Is bq Pure Rock any good? I'm looking for decent cpu cooler under 40 usd (cpu is i5 6600k). Also, 212 evo is not an option (simply not available).
Oliver Brown
Pentium G4560 + B250 board
mATX should be significantly cheaper than mITX
Jason Rogers
Pure Rock is pretty good. Should be able to cool a 6600k at up to 4.2 GHz just fine.

James Miller
Is there a way to disable the leds on MSI Gaming X RX 480 without using the cancerous MSI Gaming App ?
Parker Edwards
So what purpose does the i3 7100 fill when the G4560 is so much better value? Talking strictly about non-gaming applications, I know that there's pretty much identical performance in games between the two.
Kayden Edwards
sucking out the money of the less informed goys
Brayden Moore
More shekels for Intel
Kayden Sanders
Are there any custom braided cables out there for the EVGA Supernova G3 yet? Pretty sure G2's are compatible but I don't want to fuck around and guess when it comes to power supply related anything.
>retards always posting links to the product >not the fucking name of the product everytime
Christian Smith
Upgrade to 10 already you fucking Cluck. You have to at some point soon.
Your skylake is fine. Wait a year and see what intell does in panic mode so you don't have to buy a new mobo.
Colton Diaz
>another year make that a two for the 10nm
Justin Torres
What's the difference between the different mobos like H110, B150, B250, Z270 and shit? I know that one thing is overclocking potential but how much does it matter what mobo you get as long as it has the features you need?
Zachary Garcia
Number of ram slots and speed of ram, sata slots and raid capability are the main differences besides the obvious overclocking.
Ryder Gutierrez
i run gta 5 with an rx 480 with a 4690k@ 4.5 ghz and it hovers around 60-85 fps on very high without msaa or advanced settings, i think you're doing something wrong.
Alexander Phillips
If you have to ask, just buy an H110 or B150/250 motherboard.
Blake Phillips
>Retards always critisizing the post instead of answering the question everytime
Eli Russell
Corsair cx750m PSU, how is it?
Nathan Gutierrez
Not good m8. You probably don't need 750W either. Post specs and what features you want from it.
Kayden Murphy
>Not good m8. You probably don't need 750W either. 390 nitro, yes I do. I have it right now, just thinking if I should replace it for ryzen or if it doesnt't pan out for i7 cofee, I got it very cheap couple years back. Seems to work fine for sandy, but no idea how it will handle more sensitive modern CPUs.
James Adams
What's the smallest case you can put a 1080 in? Can you build a mATX rig with a 1080 in it?
Jonathan Martin
I am looking to buy a small business server to host a bunch of Docker containers. Will older gen dual Xeon's with 64GB RAM and 4 256gb SSD's be a solid start? If so, blade server or buy a full size tower for it?
Noah Davis
is there a video of that?
Benjamin Flores
Just go to Pcpartpicker.com, pick a 1080, and then try to pick a case. It shouldn't give you ones that don't fit, and I'm pretty sure you can order by size.
Tyler Garcia
Any advice you could give me as you rate this build?
Go for the cryorig h7 over the evo. And a better video card would be nice, but I know nobody picks the 1050ti because they want to. Also having just built my pc in that case, it looks a bit odd if you can't fill the drive cages.
Joshua Collins
Is the corsair cx or corsair in general not being good a meme ? I've read that the first version was shitty, but they released newer version - instead of 400 500 and such, they are 450 550 650W and the reviews say they're a lot better than the old ones, so are you just spouting old memes or are the only single digits of PSUs actually good like Seasonics ?
Carson King
GTX 650, x4 965, 8 gig ram, laughable 250 hard drive but it works for me. Problem is streaming. Audio has construction noises going on if the conference level is increased. Honestly time to get a bit of an upgrade anyways. Any recommendations? Goal is to stream various pc, PS, and Xbone games (Overwatch, RE, FF 6-12) with relatively decent sound. Want my shiny pixels. Poor man's budget of 650 or so.
Cameron Brooks
Is there any good alternative to Corsair Air 540 when it comes to cube builds for ATX sized mainboards? any recommendations very welcome
Gabriel Clark
Don't listen to these retards. It's clearly the gfx card because you're running at high resolution. Turn off super sampling
Eli Williams
They are passable for non-gaming rigs without any overclocking. They just don't hold up under any sort of strain and are only rated at 30c.
This is what I currently have assembled, but I need a few suggestions. (don't mind the RAM, it will be changed with time)
What CPU should I go with? What cooler should I go with? Heatsink preferred, no Noctua...sorry enthusiasts M.2 or SSD for a boot drive?
Ethan Cook
Holeee fug
Blake Davis
Definitely 16GB minimum now. If your motherboard has 4 slots get 8GBx2 and upgrade in the future to 32GB if you need to. If you can spare the cash and only have 2 slots, just go 16GBx2 right off the bat.
Jason Wilson
>& 75Hz Doesn't that causes Skyrim to break in all sorts of ways when you start going over 60hz?
Ethan Morales
Change mobo to Z270 if you plan on overclock, but seeing as you don't even have a CPU chosen, I deduct that you're just stupid CPU cooler: meme answer is 212 evo or whatever the newest 212 is, but if someone else will take their time to answer you'll have like 5 more choices at similar price point at same/better performance, I just don't remember the coolers, something something scythe etc >M.2 or SSD for a boot drive wew lad, go M.2, but don't go SSD, see how that works out But in seriousness if you have the money get an M.2 PCIe interface SSD, blazing fast and no cables
Not that guy, but it can be fixed in the special edition.
Brody Myers
Doing some SLI? If no, 600w is more than enough
Nathaniel Jones
I already have the mobo, but I can't decide between an i7 and an i5.
And as far as M.2 but not SSD, I mean M.2 form factor vs 2.5"
Hudson Gomez
>Ryzen will not have ITX support until maybe 2018 >Intel has lowered the price on all of their CPU by $50 Should I just get a Babylake and call it a day instead of hold out hope for a Ryzen ITX?
Levi Sullivan
Look up Skyrim fps 1080p on youtube and see what other people are running. Different games run better with different processors, and mods add in a whole other world because a lot of them aren't optimized.
Lucas Rodriguez
And I say this not as a cop-out, but because I've been researching CPUs for the same reason. A game like Fallout 4, for example, has an old engine and needs the hyperthreading to max out the graphics. If it only has a few cores to run, it struggles to maintain 40-50 fps in certain areas. Whereas a game like R6:Siege can't use hyperthreading or it crashes.
Joshua Wright
>>Intel has lowered the price on all of their CPU by $50 proofs?
Owen Price
Just looked, they're all the same price.
Gavin Ward
It's just for this weekend, I am thinking of just going with Intel now that the price listed for this weekend is actually competitive.
Elijah Cook
>tfw not american
i get jealous of how much cheaper it is to build a pc there
Jack Carter
What does it mean if i can only boot Win10 when i limit the number of enabled cores on my i5-6600 to 2 ? It seems kind of wierd, that two of the cores are intact, even though in safe mode all four boot up.
Ryan Rogers
>28 % better performance versus a 3-year-old desktop
Andrew Howard
Damn, forgot >Up to
So it's nothing.
Matthew Martin
>Ryzen will not have ITX support until maybe 2018 huh? APUs are coming in the summer, ITX boards will have surely been released by then, probably even earlier than that
Evan Hughes
I've been literally stuck with the wires for 3 hours and I still can't figure out how to connect them...
Don't laugh at me, it's my first time..
Andrew Perry
Have you actually tried doing a fresh install?
Samuel Parker
what wires? Did you try soldering a CPU ?
Dylan Price
SATA, 6+2, and other wires of which I don't know names
Btw, can I use 6+2 wire for 6pinned GPU? (ASUS Turbo 1060). I've put the 6pin connector and didn't connect the 2pin one
Jordan Davis
probably a million times, this was the only way to even boot the installer.
John Lee
IIRC yes you can, but do you seriously have trouble with PSU cables? There's like 5 connections in total and all differ how they look mobo power, CPU power, GPU power, HDD and SSD power and that's basically it, god damn 3 hours
Nicholas Jenkins
There's strangely a lot of SSD/HDD cables, but only 4 mobo cables (1 2x4, 2x6+2, 1 24) and I can't find the rest
Christopher Peterson
who /5ghz 24/7/ here?
Sold my 8350 pc (that was able to get 5ghz but only for benching) early this month and was able to get my hands on a 7600k for like 220 after taxes and whatnot.
Was able to hit [email protected] without delidding, I also tried [email protected] but cores were getting way too hot (it didn't crash/bsod though)
prob should have just gotten a g4560 that I could easily switch to ryzen but shit, no idea if ryzen can hit 5ghz yet, and if it does then i'll regret my decision
Yes you can, and little known fact, you could "technically" pull just as much watts as an 8pin could on 6pin
Parker Bennett
There's not really any more cables, apart from molex, you don't need to connect all the cables that PSU has, only the ones your build needs, which should be probably 5
Joshua Fisher
Where do I find cables for these?
Owen Wood
Here are the ones I managed to install
Noah Rivera
Top one looks like a USB 2.0 header, but I can't be sure. The one under that is a COM port, which you almost certainly don't have. TPM is another port you're never going to use. The header that has THB_C is a Thunderbolt header, which you don't need. The two right under that are USB2.0 headers, which you should have coming out of your case (they're the wires with the block port connectors that look like pic related). The one that says SYS_FAN2 is just a 4-pin fan connector for a case fan. The colorful bit is the important one, all of which you should find coming out of the front of the case. Use your mobo's manual to figure out which goes where.
The connectors with an L-shaped center bit are SATA ports. You have more next to the chipset heatsink (the thing that says "G1 GAMING"), but those ports are facing to the side.
Justin Green
>GIS omg, so many links!
Gabriel Davis
The one that says USB3.0 next to the long 24-pin ATX power connector is obviously a USB3.0 header.
Because you clearly were dropped on your head as a baby and fed on a diet of lead paint chips and hard liquor, the wire coming from your case that needs to go there should look like this
Andrew Harris
>case with cable management >literally 0 (zero) effort done to manage cables Your pic shows only three cables, although the essential ones that would let you turn on the PC, now if you connected your HDDs and SSDs to the PSU and with SATA cables to the motherboard, you're basically set, only the matter of fans
Carter Rivera
/pcbg/ meetup when?
Justin Jackson
disregard everything anyone and me said, open the damn motherboard booklet and follow all the steps, that will be easier for you than follow all these posts
Leo Long
I'll fucking rape 90% you if this happens. Fuck off with your meme IRL meetups. This is how Sup Forums because cancer.
