At exactly the same price, which mobo is better? ASUS B350-F Gaming Strix or MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon The anus one is slightly more appealing to me, but then it has no PS/2 while the msi has one combo port does ps/2 even matter today?

That's clearly a SATA power connector, it could be for a fan controller or LED power Buy a Core i9, nigger
Camden Davis
Was thinking of getting a 1080ti but now leaning more towards a 1070 since I only need/can go up to 60fps with this monitor + I've read some shit about a 1080ti being bottlenecked by the CPU (don't really get what that means).
I play GTA:O, PUBG, FO4, games like that etc. but will probably end up playing a bunch of other games too.
Currently I can get most settings on high for most games but would like to push to ultra.
1070 the way to go? Not gonna wait for Volta since I want better performance now, plus I could always sell and upgrade later anyway.
Jack Sanchez
At 1080p, the 1080ti goes so fast that the CPU can't catch up. That is a bottleneck. Go look up benchmarks. You don't need a 1080ti to play GTA, PUBG, FO4. 1070 will do just fine. 1060 even if you lower some settings.
Julian Wilson
He's got a 1440p monitor though.
I'd go with a 1080 (non Ti) for 1440p ultra if it were me, especially if you already feel crunched by the 970. user above is correct that you may be CPU bottlenecked in some games causing intermittent FPS drops as your system chugs. You could pop in a 4770 or 4790 some day to alleviate this.

Been looking at the H170M and H110M mobos
Alexander Diaz
The fact that the 7900X MSRP is $700 less than the 6950X is proof enough that intel is the only one getting blown the fuck out with these chips.

Leave this thread if you're not here to listen to our advices. You're not the only one to say something retarded, say "trust me i know this better than you", and ask for help in the process. It's very stupid to think you know better than us while asking us help at the same time.
William Hall
Stop with this AMD/Intel bait shit. You're all just trying to start another fucking meme argument and everyone knows it
Joseph Myers
Intel's only worthwhile CPU right now are the 7700k (in some cases) and the g4560 (in case of budget builds), so i guess you'll have to settle for a g4560
William Edwards
>Temperatures were definitely a concern with Cinebench and Terragen pushing 100°C with our 240mm AIO liquid cooler. As a result, while stable and potentially tameable under custom water-cooling, we decided to go for 4.6GHz for benchmarking As expected, the 7700k thermal problems now on HEDT CPUs. Sasuga intel.

I'm in the market for a new 1440p monitor in the 600 euro range. I mainly use my PC for programming and watching 16:9 content. So I've come across the following monitors: Iiyama ProLite XUB3490WQSU-B1 and Iiyama ProLite XUB3490. What do you guys think on using a 21:9 monitor for programming? What about the monitors?
Xavier Lewis
Can somebody rec me a good parts list and setup for buttcoin mining? Turning over a huge profit isn't even a big priority for me, I just think it would be a fun project and if it makes me money than even better. Its not really something I would even build now since gpu prices are so inflated, so don't worry about budget.
Wyatt Lee
pcpartpicker.com/list/n7DKD8 Unfortunately, I don't know if the WD SSD is a 2.5 or a M.2. Also, please recommend a case for this build preferably by Thermaltake or CoolerMaster. Any help is appreciated

Cheapest PC I could build that supports GPU passthrough?
I want to upgrade my i7 920 finally, but I'd love my new PC to do GPU passthrough.
Wondering if it's worth buying second hand parts to test it out, before I jump in to an expensive rig though?
What it will be used for ? noone can tell if pc is good if you won't tell him what it will be used for :P

Thomas Phillips
If you're buying relatively soon (next 2 months is my semi-educated guess), not only will any RX cards be expensive, but almost impossible to get. You could opt for a GTX 1050Ti. Won't match 470 performance though. Comes down to whether or not you wanna wait, want to use 1050Ti as a holdover card and sell it later, etc.
Jordan Robinson

Brayden Martinez
I need non nvidia for kvm hypervisor but yeah I plan to wait, 500 bucks is a lot of money to spend I'll probably go ahead with everything but the gpu and keep tabs on ebay for my gpu I have a psu already soon (TM)
Jaxson Russell
Get a PNY ssd instead, and with only 120 gb you won't have much space left over. Might as well get an HDD now for storage or a bigger ssd. Good luck finding that gpu, either get ready to wait or grab a 1060 6gb.
As far as cases go, just get whatever size you want and the look that appeals to you.
Nicholas Myers
I'm upgrading my FX6300/RX 270x build to a Ryzen 1600/GTX 1060 6GB build. Shit is gonna be fucking cash. HOWEVER, the situation with RAM and Ryzen mobos confuses me a little. I get that Ryzen's "Infinity Fabric" avails itself of faster ram to actually intra-communicate faster, and for that I want some high-speed ram. But I've also read that most boards and the CPUs only officially support 2400MHz speeds, and everything over that is overclocking. I wanna get 2666MHz or 3000MHz RAM for the build, but am I gonna get rekt with lack of support or something?
Parker Lopez
>AMD + Nvidia Nigga, what the fuck are you doing? Especially with 1060. Get 580 for fuck's sake.
Luis Evans
Are gpu prices inflated right now? I'm thinking of building a PC for my nephew but if the market is bloated maybe I should wait.
Benjamin Scott
1800x is a very cost inefficient CPU when you can get a 1700x or even a 1700 and overclock it to reach almost identical performances D15 is good but very pricy, you don't need such a beefy cooler for overclocking. If you want you can settle down for a $60 or even $40 cooler and you'll do just as well overclocking, though the thermals will be worse but not bad by any mean. Why the crosshair VI hero? Why an M.2 NVME SSD, do you do any productivity stuff?
Andrew Murphy
>Get 580 for fuck's sake. Implying it's in stock anywhere and user can get it.
Cooper Perez
eth and buttcoin mining is popular again
John Howard
The market is permafucked until the next generation of cards comes out. Way too much demand for the current measly supply.
Lincoln Diaz
apparently also needs motherboard support and gpu support!
Dominic Young
If I'm being honest most of these parts I found on that logical increments website. Should I switch out the MB or SSD ? I dont do any productivity stuff.
Oliver Watson
I mean if you can point me to one I'd be happy to. Until then, what specifically is gonna happen? I've seen people say this but the only explanation I've seen is fanboyism being offended ("what do you MEAN you support both companies based on which provides the best product for your situation!?")
Andrew Brown
i just got a gtx 1080 ti, and tested a few games in 4k. all is well except something was making hell of noise, and it wasn't the gpu, it was actually completely quiet. it was my cpu fan, which is a noctua 14cm, set to silent. the cpu reaches 75c and the fan is ridiculously loud. it's a 6700k. is this just normal and i am supposed to live with this noise or did i mess up with the thermal paste possibly? and aren't noctua cpu fans supposed to be pretty quiet even at high rpm? my case has three fans, two in and one out and they are set to low rpm so they weren't making the noise, and airflow should not be an issue, and room temp is 20~
Nathaniel Hughes
I'm running a 1600 and 1060 right now, it's fine.

Can't afford an SSD or need mass storage? Hitachi.
Jace Rodriguez
Yeah, get a much cheaper mobo like an msi b350 pc mate, asus prime b350 plus, or such and don't get an NVME ssd
Michael Evans
I noticed its not the strongest of the 1070s but anythings gonna be amazing compared to my old GT640.
Probably going to wait until a sale of 200 or under, but I've been waiting a long time to upgrade.what would you suggest instead for my Z270 mobo?
Easton Bell
I suggest you don't get a 6600k and go for an R5 1600 + B350 motherboard instead as it is both cheaper and performs better
Jace Ward
Get 2 sticks of 2400 RAM. You are heavily gimping the already weak CPU, which will already bottleneck the RX470, with 1 stick of 2133. That's like a 20% perf difference in some cases and is worth spending the few bucks more for.
Connor Morris

Thomas Mitchell
if you have $1400 to use on a computer, why even save at that point? just get a proper cpu and ssd, it will still be below $2000 then play any title at maxed 4k 60 fps
Camden Thompson
4c/4t will heavily bottleneck anything more powerful than a 1060/RX580 in newer games. Heck, even in some older ones it'll still bottleneck them, like Metro Last Light and shit.
You have to be tarded to buy a $400 GPU with a 6600k unless all you play is Arma3. 1500X might perform a bit worse in older games, but it's better when it matters. 15 less FPS average in CSGO is meaningless compared to making sure you stay above 60-90fps minimum in newer games.
Not sure I'd buy an Nvidia card with a 6 core since their driver is still fucked up. Would wait for Vega if you want to spend over $1100 on a PC.
Nathan Thompson
Why recommend R5 1400 when it's way slower than R5 1500X which costs only 17$ more? 512GB SSD is nice but in >1000$ builds you should focus on CPU/GPU more. 250GB is enough for most users.
Brayden Hill
is it even worth it to spring for a AM4 r5 when the LGA-4094 socket is right around the corner?
William Hall
Bump
Evan Hill
??? R5 is either 4/8 or 6/12. LGA-4094 socket is meant for Threadripper CPUs, so unless you need min. 10/20 it's not meant for you.
Robert Ortiz
>lga 4094 What?
Liam Perez
>Not sure I'd buy an Nvidia card with a 6 core since their driver is still fucked up.
no. it was never anything to do with nvidia. a ryzen specific patch for rottr fixed it on nvidia gpu without any driver.
My gaymin/streaming build so far Been years since I looked at pc parts, but I think I've got something that'll last for a while.
Any suggestions for changes? Thinking maybe switching out the WD for something else since I heard iffy things about them, and still not sure if the cpu cooler is overkill. Also the video card'll probably come later.
Joseph Watson
anybody has any clues?
Nicholas Brown
So how do you figure out the exact minimum PSU wattage for a build?
Dylan Reyes
You most likely seated the CPU cooler wrong, it shouldn't reach 75c during gaming Replace thermal paste and make sure you put the cooler properly
Hudson Howard
If you'd like a completely different part selection for a little less; I'd suggest
Going to stream and play extremely well, throw in a Hitachi HDD for your streaming footage. Use the selected SDD for everything else.
If you want to do high overclocks, I'd go with an aftermarket cooler and X370 motherboard, if you only want to do minimal overclocking; the B350 and stock cpu cooler are fine.
