G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400
Now I know it's good RAM, but I've never purchased RAM with heatsinks before.
I'm also planning on getting a Nocua D15.
Does the monstrous D15 interfere with RAM heatsinks? I guess worst case the heatsinks are removeable and i'm not overclocking the RAM so I most likely don't need them anyway.
Can anyone comment?
Liam Rivera
Yeah Witcher 3 chokes on max settings. Still shocked at how much this thing can handle though
That's sexy user
Lincoln Lee
Fuck that. I just pumped my 290x numbers in a calculator and I can make 2k a year if I mine. No wonder these shit are selling like hotcake. Time to start mining.
Jonathan Reyes
Flat out, what is the best processor and what are the specs one looks for in them?
Jordan Turner
This thing is old, discontinued, and runs hotter than a MOTHERFUCKER. Is it any good for mining?
Hudson Gomez
1.3600, around 40 idle and 75 stressed.
Anthony Torres
>he readded the 7700k wow wonder who is behind this shill thread
Eli Kelly
Any suggestions for this build? I'm a bit unsure about the CPU
Looking at getting a CF791 Monitor at 3440x1440, 100Hz refresh rate. Plan on mainly gaming with it, all the latest games and potentially use it for some CAD work at a later date.
Jaxson Allen
Just get the 1080ti or wait for Volta
Isaac Bennett
i re-added the 7700k last thread because it's still a CPU that you might want at times, namely 144hz gaming
James Evans
Are the Microboard Korean monitors a scam?
I remember buying one of these cheap Korean monitors like 10 years ago and it died after 6months. The quality seems to have come up quite a bit in the videos ive seen. How much of a gamble are they these days?
Im specifically looking at the M340CLZ ultrawide

The 7700k shits on the Ryzen on every game.
Shoo shoo shill.
Ryan Davis
>lower voltage >get 1219cb as opposed to 1243cb last time in cinebench Is this just a coincidence?
Christian Nelson
>Does the monstrous D15 interfere with RAM heatsinks? Only tall ones, and RAM frequency doesn't matter anymore. The gains from higher speeds are negligible.
Colton Morgan
Those monitors are so cheap because they failed QC and got binned
Liam Sanchez
Dead pixels, dead pixels everywhere. It's part of the condition of sale.
Jacob Jenkins
Is a 850 watt psu inadequate overclocking a i7 7820k and a 1080 ti? One review lists the power consumption for the overlooked 7820k at just under 400 watts so it would be 700w for just the cpu and gpu. Would I be better off just getting the 6 core for the lower wattage?
Jeremiah Nelson
Overclocked*
Chase Gonzalez
Just be safe and get the 1000w one. You are already spending a premium on PSU anyway.
Noah Roberts
I already have the 850w I forgot to mention
Dylan Edwards
Yes, and the 1700 shits on the 7700k in x264, 3D rendering, code compilation, VM, etc etc Your point being?
Colton Ward
>x264, 3D rendering, code compilation, VM Nice video games
Adam Cruz
You're not in Sup Forums you fucking retard
Grayson Rodriguez
Just bought this monitor. I was debating getting a TN or an IPS monitor but went with TN because of the stuff I heard about backlight bleed, etc.
My question is: If all ips panels have bleed/glow etc., why does my phone screen not suffer from this? It's an LG G5 and has an IPS LCD display, but in low light on a black screen I don't have any of these problems.
Is it because my phone screen is much smaller than a monitor or what?
Joseph Butler
Can I use a sata revision 3 Ssd on a motherboard that can only take revision 2. Before you ask what a stupid question that is. My local guy I got to buy all my computer parts cheap doesn't understand that they aren't compatible. Or doesn't understand what I am explaining to him.
Robert Morales
Some people make good PCs solely to play video games.
Adam Ramirez
And there are dozens of perfectly capable and great CPU for gaming besides the 7700k.
Easton James
But none as good as 7700k. Fuck off moron.
Adam Thomas
Back Light Bleed is absolutely lottery.
Juan Lee
>But none as good as 7700k. Therefore everyone and their mother should buy a 7700k and a 1080ti Fuck off you retard
Nicholas Miller
>Therefore everyone and their mother should buy a 7700k and a 1080ti If they have money and if they want to play video games.
A lot more people play video games than do 3D rendering, code compilation or VM.
Evan Cox
>HUDURR, THERE IS NO CPU AS GOOD AS THE XEON E7-8890 v4 FOR VIDEO ENCODING, SO EVERYONE DOING VIDEO ENCODING SHOULD SHELL OUT $7174 FOR THIS CPU You have a pretty massive brain retardation

You sound poor
Easton Mitchell
>if they want to play video games. Because the Intel® i7® 7700k is the only CPU capable of doing video games. However, if you are aiming at doing VR gaming, then only Kaby Lake-X® and Skylake-X® are able of achieving such feats, goy.

Anyone?

Spent all day looking up stuff and I bought all this. Didn't realize how small a mini itx was but it was only decent high end mb I could find with wifi.
Connor Lewis
Buying a 1080ti is retarded. Playing games is retarded. Having anything more than a CRT is retarded. Having an SSD is retarded. But look where we are.
James Walker
>not using a 1080ti to watch motherless videos fucking scrub nigger.
Matthew Lee
Save money by getting a Noctua D15 or D15S, which will also performs slightly better than that AIO.
Blake Moore
naw senpai, I wasn't shilled enough earlier for it. I didn't like the big bulkyness of it and I decided to just stick with the theme of corsair since they had majority price/performance. From a lot of reviews they seemed to be overall best with their customers.
Christian Robinson
It seems big in pictures but when you have it in hand it seems tiny as fuck and isn't anything as heavy or sturdy as people make it out to be
Cameron Robinson
CPU, RAM, and storage?
Gavin Powell
I'll check it out in the store then sometime. Best buy has them, I didn't like the color of the fans either. I don't understand why companies can't keep with black/white or atleast offer those colors.
Noctua's color are pretty much for brand recognition now
Get a b350 motherboard like a MSI B350M PRO-VDH or such, the price is pretty much the same but it allows you to overclock
Daniel Scott
Good luck getting stock/10

Hi im looking forward to build a new homeserver, but Im a little bit low on budget so I could buy 2 old xeons and put them on a dual cpu mobo. Any recommendations for cpu, mobo etc? Btw for the OS ill choose centos or gentoo
John Lopez
Good catch, totally forgot The ram is for work, involving music production and video editing, also whats wrong with Canada? Yeah
Daniel Harris
>also whats wrong with Canada? Everything
Thomas Gray
why is my PC suddenly not detecting my 2nd monitor? They both function separately, but when I connect the HDMI one, the DVI one shuts off and goes to stand-by mode. It doesn't detect it as secondary display
Ayden Rogers
Go into device manager and make sure both monitors are detected. What GPU?
Jonathan Hughes
I just want to play more or less newer games for cheap price, what GPU should i buy?
From what i understood after couple hours in google: 960 2gb is apparently as good or better than 1050 2gb? 1050 4gb is best option, but a bit too pricy for me 960 2 gb is not really that much worse than 1050 4gb? RX 560 seems to be worse than 960 even? Why even bother with it...
So my question is, should i buy 960 or 1050 2gb? I don't really need ultra settings or something.
Brayden Hall
1050
Jackson Jackson
on monitors, only one generic pnp monitor shows up. It's a 1050 ti, and I used to have them both work before.
Jeremiah Campbell
>and I used to have them both work before. Test both monitors seperate and individually. Make sure the cables are connnected and try a new one. If not, then your GPU is borked.
Ok, so, probs gonna buy this one. Any more suggestions\advices?
Lincoln Evans
no custom bios. started getting a few artifacts at -50 mv but temps dropped to 79 deg c. made 25 usd so far. have 6 asus dual 1070s on the way.
Colton Butler
Nice try Rypoo shill
That's like 5% of the entire PC userbase in 4chin

Go hang yourself
Nolan Jones
Go take a look at the catalog and proceed to leave this board you fucking retard
Juan Thomas
Typical 12-year old's fantasy of being good enough for Apple. Don't you secretly wish... Still, your collection of fanbois are here to support you with their day dreams and so that's fame of a sort, even if it does smell unwashed and leave stains wherever it goes.
Carter Hughes
I think you posted in the wrong thread, user
Jack Morales
Do they even make DDR3 that slow? Are you sure it's not 1866MHz?
You are going to need LEDs to go with your case senpai
Joshua Cruz
is it the 7700k ? I cant really see my case with my current desk so I didnt bother.
Jonathan Williams
Then why are you getting a glass case?
Evan Wilson
>The 7700k shits on the Ryzen on every game. >5 fps more max fps equal "shits on" >while 1700 has higher min and avg frame rates Shoo shoo shill.
Charles Ward
Oh shit, I'm retarded. Thanks user.
Wyatt Rodriguez
>7700k
The only people who dis the 7700k are the ones who can't afford it. It's like the fox and the grapes.
Daniel Wood
and you haven't stated that you were doing high res or refresh rate gaming so for regular gaming this is a waste of money Also this case already includes 3x 140mm fans so you're wasting money by going with these be quiet pure wings
Juan Peterson
i could afford the 7700k but i went for an R7 1700 because i'm not gonna get an inferior CPU just because some memers online are shilling for their favourite brands
Nolan Harris
He is going to change his case I think. He already said he can't see his case and he is getting a glass one.
William Miller
This guy is just trying to justify his purchase.
Cooper Nelson
i-i-i-is DDR4 actually standard now? Is it what most of you use?
>tfw poor >tfw using same ram for years now
Is it a big improvement?
Alexander Peterson
Well if I am being honest I'm tossed up between 4k and 144hz. Which you think is more worth it ? And I did change the case, its the same one just without glass
Julian Rodriguez
DDR4 is the standard because all the new mobo are DDR4 only.
No. Minimal improvement if you are still using old CPUs. Some people here are still rocking 2900k with DDR3 which still beats the new Ryzen.
Brayden Cox
...
Michael Bell
IIRC, it should be backwards compatible, it'll just run at the lower speed.
William Collins
DDR4 isn't something you choose, every new motherboard and CPU only supports DDR4
>rocking 2900k >beats the new Ryzen This is how you recognise someone with brain retardation
Joseph Wood
>I-i-i-ii could reach those grapes if I tried. They are sour anyway these gooseberries are sweeter.
Okay fox

i don't know man the 7700k is inferior at anything i do this is Sup Forums after all

Gavin Collins
You don't need 16GB to play video game. 2x8GB will suffice, anything more is a waste. Your board lets you quad channel anyways so if for whatever reason you think "Man I could use 16GB of RAM" in the future you can get more. You'll need a different CPU, though, and a 7700k may perform the best (arguably) but for its price it's not worth it.
Unless money isn't a problem and you love to burn it, in which case disregard everything. You can buy 32GB of RAM for all I care.
Aiden Evans
>unironically shilling Jewtel trash
Jackson Brown
>2x8GB Meant 2x4GB.
Kayden Butler
Yea. I heard that Window excel really take advantage of all those cores.
Hudson Wright
>streaming Get an R5 1600 instead of the 7600, 6 cores is massively better for video encoding (streaming) You can ditch the cooler if you do that as the 1600 really doesn't heat much and most importantly the cooler is very quiet. I'm fairly sure it's because the fan is pretty low RPM but regardless noises should certainly NOT be a problem on the 1600's stock cooler. The 3 additional fans do not make much sense as the parts you picked will not heat nearly enough to justify getting three fans, and it will probably end up noisier as a result.
Joseph Lee
This is the technology board user, plenty of us make use of 8+ cores
