So should I wait for zen? Was just gonna get an i5 and 1070 kind of sick of waiting.
Elijah Williams
Personally I'd say yes, because you will be able to get almost 4c / 8t i7 performance at the cost of a current i5, and with the AM4 socket you will have an insane upgrade path. Undoubtedly higher clocked models (better single core performance) will arrive for the socket and you'll be able to upgrade to a future 8c / 16t CPU if you wanted to.
Of course everyone is still waiting on gaming benchmarks, so there is a chance that Ryzen won't perform as well as hoped.
One caveat is that Ryzen doesn't have a graphics component, so troubleshooting can be more difficult and there's no fallback if your gfx card dies. The 4c / 8t Ryzen APUs might be amazing if you want that graphics component for whatever reason, like in a GNU/Linux GPU passthrough setup.
Zachary Russell
Why the fuck is my GPU so wobbly? I didn't screw it in yet but is it normal for it to wobble?
It fitted really tight in the last mother(board)
Luis Brooks
just wait 13 more days for the first benchmarks to find out if its worth it or not.

Screw it in then dummy.
Xavier Cox
I'm waiting for ryzen to build a pc but I stucked with a problem. I want a build that render alot and I need a setup to setup up to 10-12 displays. I think I might need to use 2-3 gpu on crossfire but Idk which setup. Is 2 rx 470 on CF can render more than 1 rx480?
What are my options?
Samuel Evans
Guys I have a problem.
The utility (asrock extreme tuner) that came with my mobo (asrock extreme 3 gen 3) reports that under load my i5 2500k temp is at like 95 Celsius. This is at stock clock too and I'm using the stock cooler. I've recently overclocked to 3.7GHz from 3.3GHz and it reads the same.
I check with speedfan and it reports around 72 Celsius instead.
It was already doing 3.7 boost speeds so you didn't overclock anything. The lower reading is most likely the accurate one but check in a third program like hwmonitor to be sure. If you actually want to overclock replace that stock cooler asap.
Jaxon Williams
Most rendering is CPU based right? So figure out which program you're going to use and see what that program uses. For displays you don't need high power gfx cards.
It's fine, kinda weak. Unless you know the games you're playing favor Nvidia get the 4GB 470. 3GB is a bare minimum for a non esports build. If I had to build now I'd get the G4560 with an upgrade to an i7 in mind. i5s are significantly overpriced with the upcoming Ryzen release
No reason to get an H170. Better options than H110 are B150 or Z170.
Consider a Kaby Lake CPU with a B250+2400MHz RAM
Ryder Rogers
Almost there.

Not pretty, but it has a lot of room for upgrades when the money is available. Just waiting on an SSD to install my OS to and it'll be finished.
Sebastian Butler
I've got a Corsair 300R case for my rig, but I lost the accessories and I need some screws for another front fan. Anyone here know the specifics for what kinda screw this is? I see people selling 'Corsair Hydro compatible' screws but I dunno if that's just for any old corsair fan etc. Also if I know what kinda screw it is, I can avoid getting cucked, price-wise.
Luke Peterson
>Not pretty, but it has a lot of room for upgrades when the money is available. Not sure what you mean by this, but you're already at the top. If you're concerned about money you made a bad purchase though

Can someone rec me a good motherboard for a 1151-socket win7 gaming mini-itx build? I want ac wifi built in, two gigabit NICs are a strong plus, and I don't need overclocking at all.
is there that big of a difference between 3000mhz and 2666mhz? prob gonna upgrade the ram in a few months but it's pretty comfy atm
Jackson Howard
We'll you didn't say that
Carter Cooper
When will the gtx 20 series come? I have a decent gpu for temporary use (rx 470) but I don't want to buy current generation. I want to get a gtx 2070 when it comes out hopefully this year. I might go for Vega if it is good.
Luke Johnson
Benchmarks with 1333/1600/2133/2400 Show literally no difference. The ram will not bottleneck anything. But I get where you're coming from. I wouldn't cheap out on 5-10bucks difference too
Ryan Gutierrez
How can you tell something will bottleneck?
Luis Cruz
Yes. Don't forget that you need to pair it with a Skylake CPU or get a preflashed board.
Pic related. Not worth it if you already have a large enough capacity. Upgrading RAM is pointless unless you need more because you're limited by the speed of the first kit
Nathaniel Foster
Wrong, see
Anthony Robinson
As an example
Cooper Flores
Is theee an advice list on the programs to install on brand new system and tips for customization?
I've never owned an AOC monitor. How are they? They're not low quality budget are they?
It's literally the only 1080p@144Hz monitor with Gsync I can find in Australia. The price is also decent.
Hudson Williams
I'm sure you could google it and find something.
Personally I just install TinyWall as windows firewall helper and CommonSense2017 as antivirus. VLC/MPC as well
Ctrl+Shift+Esc, Startup tab, disable almost everything
Noah Butler
>using Zbrush with a FX6300/HD 7790 Oh I want to kill myself but I don't have money for a gun.
As for Zbrush, is it heavier on the CPU side or the GPU side? I'm planning to save money and upgrade my pc with Ryzen meme but I'm not sure if I should focus more on the CPU. I also use 3Ds Max and I render, sometimes.
Cameron Johnson
Can someone recommend some tall mini-itx cases?
I'm looking for something that's approximately the size and shape of an xbox, tall and skinny is great, those chode shaped cases are absolutely unacceptable to me. The goal is for the pc to fit in to an under-tv entertainment console.
So far I'm looking at the "SilverStone RAVEN RVZ01B" and "SilverStone Milo Series ML07B" . Any other cases I should be looking at?
Noah Murphy
What you want is not an ITX case, it's HTCP. Fractal Design Node 202 and SilverStone cases are pretty much all there is.
Christopher Powell
So I can buy a rx480 for games and 1 or 2 cheap rx460 for the extra monitors?
Cooper Price
Yes if you're displaying at 1080p. If you want to duplicate the output the game on all monitors I'm not sure what you need
Levi Diaz
Get the Asus PG248Q instead. It should only be $100 more, and not as hard to find.
It has better image quality, is built better, and you can overclock to 160-180Hz.
Luis Sanders
The 10 monitors arent for gaming but for a special use like displaying 10 diffrents contents (video) simultaneously and beeing able to control them from 1 keyboard and mouse. Also for rendering videos and doing 3D rendering isnt the gpu have some parts to play?
Anthony Garcia
My mobo only has 2 fan headers. I want 3 of those meme Noctua NF-A14s, plus my 2 built in case fans. Can one fan go on a high amp fan header? pcpartpicker.com/user/oznerol10/saved/gdTP6h
Elijah Rogers
B150 or H110?
Jace Morris
is it safe to buy evga 1070s now
Ryder Thomas
Do you need more than 2 ram slots and 4 sata ports?
Logan Flores
Anybody have that old 'LED color guide' chart with the temperature differences and whatnot?
Liam Long
Spend less on meme fans and more on a cooler that can actually cope with that CPU. Hyper 212 is garbage.
Oliver Wright
microATX B150
Not garbage. Plenty for an Intel CPU
Jacob Baker
You can basically get a NH-D15 for the price of those 2 fans ontop of your 212 so he is right that's youre retarded.
Ryan Richardson
well im thinking getting sound card
Liam Harris
>CPU cooler = Case fans Yeah nah He still needs case fans in addition to the CPU cooler. Getting a better cooler does not negate the need for case fans.
You're the retarded on here. My post didn't say anything about the case fans, just that the 212 isn't garbage.
Joseph Parker
>case fans literal meme, if you have 2 case fans which most cases come with are plenty and that cpu cooler will do way more than any case fan ever will.
212 was never good and it isn't capable of handling even a mild overclock on kaby lake chips. Case fans do almost nothing for temps compared to a good CPU cooler, as long as you have basic airflow as provided by the fans that come with your case, you're good. Of course it is nice to have even better all-around cooling and those fans are a nice upgrade later on, but do not skimp on a good cooler for them.
Angel Robinson
The 212 can handle 125W easily. The fuck are you talking about?
Jack Ramirez
I want a non-windowed ATX case with 240mm radiator support for less than $60. Is the 270R my best choice?
Kevin Campbell
Kaby lake runs hot, you can easily get 90c under load at 4.5+ GHz with a 212. These are facts m8. Don't know why you're trying to argue with it. It's a low end cooler and isn't up to the task.
Brayden Johnson
no
Noah Anderson
Fags you say 212 evo is bad but you dont recommend shit
Jason Walker
I already told you dumb faggot, drop the fans and get a NHD15
Josiah Cook
Best mATX case for a build that will have a 1070? Good airflow, no gaymen aesthetic.
Good cpu coolers that will fit? Cryorig h7?
John Hill
Alright thanks goyim

When you stop being an insufferable faggot. I won't be holding my breath.
Logan Thompson

Bentley Miller
It's not bad, in fact it's good. It's retarded however to spend over 100$ on a cooling solution and get an evo.

Elijah Lewis
neat but I figured out the improvements would be minor and I already have a 1tb sata ssd so it's not really worth it. The bump from even a sata ssd to a pcie one is minor when comparing a hdd to an ssd. Most things are instant already and the things that takes 2-3 seconds will still take a second to complete so the gains are minor.

Whenever I turn my PC off, sometimes my mouse's LED will cycle, meaning there's power to it. It's a new motherboard/CPU, and I've never changed any power settings.
I have a GIGABYTE GA-Z270-HD3, and an i5-7600K.
Luke Garcia
>prices only ever go down No they don't look at the RAM prices, they have fucking skyrocketed.
>t. autistic kid Welcome to Sup Forums.org and now fuck off.
Kayden Cooper
A lot of motherboards provide constant power to certain usb ports so you can charge your phone or whatever on them. Check BIOS settings to turn it off if it bothers you.
