Please don't spend money trying to make a e-currency mining build when you have 0 idea what you're getting into, what to do, what is good and such. For starters you don't even know that what is currently being mined like crazy isn't bitcoin but ETC. Be kind to your wallet and don't make investment in things you know nothing about, you'll just end up losing a massive amount of money. It already started to crash regardless, /biz/ is in full panic.

Was just baiting I have an unused 750Ti, would that make any revenue at all? Guess no.
Jordan Foster
Anyone know what this port is? I'm thinking USB header, but manual and g search shows nothing at all. Manual doesn't even show it existing.
William Foster
>i7-7700k - Only for 144hz Upvoted and subscribed to you, Mr. Goldberg!
Daniel Diaz
I got a 750 right now, I will build a new PC in the future, but for the moment, would a 1050ti be a nice upgrade?
Nicholas Cook
Anything you'd recommend as an upgrade to a laptop? already have an SSD and a shit load of ram.

I'd leave that alone if I were you.
Noah Johnson
It's nothing, don't worry about it.
Hunter Jenkins
Don't touch that, it's not for you.
Evan Murphy
I would but i need a usb header for my corsair aio for the link. so if thats a usb header i can use that one.
Justin Roberts
Don't touch that please.
Angel Johnson
Why does it bother you? Just leave it be, it isn't causing any issues.
Jose Watson
It's for the best if you didn't touch it.
Jack Adams
What wifi card should I get for under 20$, unable to connect my pc to router.
Kevin Powell
If you don't already know what it is you don't need to know.
Brody Morris
wtf, not trying to be a dick, but if you can't give an answer then why bother responding?
Chase Hall
Eh. Tp link with at least two antennas will do.
Michael Cox
Trust me, it's better if you don't touch that.
Daniel King
It doesn't concern you, why are you snooping around your motherboard anyway? Just don't touch it.

that's a very vague question

Well.. mobos are mostly shit, even the expensive ones, b-die does work, rest godknowswhy not and 144Hz is wrong. You can easily play esports titles at 144Hz. >Anus X370 >glued backplate Whoever thought this is a good idea needs to be shot.

I switched the PSU, RAM, case and mainboard from my first attempt ()
Yes, i5 is obsolete regardless. i7 7700K is the only Intel CPU to even consider and that's only for autism builds when all you are about is muh 10fps more while sacrificing everything else. People who buy Intel in 2017 are either clueless or autistic children from Sup Forums who want 5000 FPS in minecraft.
Kayden Scott
want make smal omputer
goods ryzen mini atx mother broad>? Biostar seem sstupid china
Connor Hernandez
I know What about Etc though?
Zachary Turner
Any particular reason you don't pick a samsung SSD?
Anthony Richardson
So after I built my first PC I realized any retard can build one. Now, I want to trying and build one with liquid cooling. How difficult is it? Is it hard to maintain? I want to pair a 7700k with my 1080 TI but I'm worried about the Intel house fire meme, I want my temps at most 70 for gayming.
So, you've popped your PC-building cherry. Congratu-fucking-lations. Now, learn to keep your system running at its peak, learn to automate tasks, and learn something useful you can do with your newly-built computer. Get your elbow-deep in your computer's anus and feel its heartbeat. Install a non-Windows OS on it in a separate partition. Learn how to use virtual machines to test and sandbox shit. Learn how to render 3D-CGI gay furry midget porn at 4K using variable bitrate to fuck with the furry faggots out there and make them believe God is punishing them during the copious cumshot scenes. Learn how to install Gentoo properly and compile fucking everything for it so you can upload screenshots of your desktop to Sup Forums and join the neckbeards.
This is just the beginning of this asshole we call a rabbithole.
Austin Robinson
No dude I mean after I built my PC 4 years ago. And it does dual boot Gentoo. It's time for an upgrade though.
Nicholas Harris
>you spent some money, now do autistic retard shit nobody cares about lol!
John Garcia
You forgot to add a delid kit and liquid metal TIM.
What else are you supposed to do with a computer? Shitpost on a Mongolian cave painting forum?
If any retard can build one, then any retard can upgrade one on their own. Have fun.
Oliver Gray
MY QUESTION WAS ABOUT WATER COOLING HOLY FUCKING SHIT
William Jenkins
What is there to ask? Put a bunch of tubes together with a car radiator, a some fans, and a fish tank pump. A child with down syndrome can do this.
Andrew Collins
I have two of these old green memory. Can i overclock my computer?

Sorry about that.

I'm looking for an adapter to convert 3 pin fan to 4 pin. It would need to have a voltage regulator to watch the pwm duty cycle and adjust the vcc in the fan. Does anyone make those?
Isaac Wilson
Trying to do a budget white and black build Budget is about 550
What's a good entry GPU I can get right now? I'm just looking for something that can play any title at at least 1080p on any settings without frames dipping below 30. I don't want to drop a ton of cash right now anyways so I figure I'll slum it with a budget card and upgrade when the asscoin bubble bursts. This is the first new PC I've built, but I've assembled PCs before.
Sebastian Green
rx560?
Jack Barnes
Whats your budget? Also its a really bad time to buy gpu's due t the mining thing
trips checked
Joshua Gonzalez
A friend of mine wants me to buy his GTX 970, and he's offering it to me. The problem that I have with buying ti is that his PSU packed it in, and his computer kept shutting off when he put it under load. I helped him build a new computer recently to replace it. Would the PSU just turning off hurt the component itself?
I'd like to avoid it if it's going to die when I buy it
John Watson
>i have two oranges >will it rain tomorrow?
Owen White
Yeah I know. That's why I'm hoping to pick up something cheap but capable now that isn't being targeted by buttsniffers and upgrade later. Definitely no more than $200. I'd really like to spend somewhere between $100 and $150 at most. Like I said, all I really care about is that I can play any games on it without pretending it's '98 again and I play video games at 680x420. Settings can take a backseat until I upgrade.
Aaron Hill
>3.5 Just buy a 1060
Hudson Watson
What country, cos im sure you can get a way better deal
Aaron Carter
>Just buy a 1060 I can buy the 970 for 1/4 the cost of a 1060.
Interesting. Is the 970 still performing well in 2017 gaymen?
Blake Richardson
\way better card for your price
Chase Foster
Those pins are there for a reason, just don't touch them
Thomas Bell
What are some good B350M boards?
MSI Gaming Pro a good pick?
Tyler Baker
Pretty solid user. Go for it.
Alexander Miller
What's the best Matx am4 motherboard if I wanna do some mild overclocking? Asrock pro4 looks like the only decent one, and there's not really any x370 matx.
Landon Morris
This much cancer, why haven't you guys killed yourself yet?
Looks like a header for asus to run tests if ever an rma. Its close to usb2, but its not. Thats about far as I got into it. Not usb2 as you needed OP.
Blake Collins
I think in terms of performance it goes 970 > 1060 > 980 or something like that, so not tea bag
Hunter Miller
I think it's a COM port for serial?
Easton Morales
it's not as easy as slapping a rig together; stop pretending otherwise
Nolan Hernandez
So first time pc build, I got a replacement motherboard for the one that was giving me the red CPU led every time and now everything is working fine.
Installing windows now, is there a Sup Forumsuide to optimizing? Strip down and update or update first and strip down?
Ayden Ramirez
>upgraded to a 980ti for $280 USD >performs as well as a 1070 for 3/4 of the price
Parker Davis
What's the best micro ATX motherboard for Ryzen? Cost is no issue, and I won't be overclocking.
Leo Perez
but i paid 300 for my 1070 oem box but oh well
Cooper Baker
Any feed back is welcome. I'm going for something I can upgrade in the future without having to redo everything. Will I run into space issues with the case if I want a larger GPU in the future?
Charles Kelly
i'm a fucking leaf so 980tis are usually $330 USD and the 1070s even worse
so i'm happy
Aiden Bell
Isn't the meme that you shouldn't evar buy the older Nvidias bc they get gimped fast in a gen or two?
Luis Roberts
Somebody PLEASE tell me what the best 1080ti card is, I can't spend more than 730 USD
Robert King
i dont think there are any bad ones that aren't a founders. just get what ever is a good deal
Hudson Allen
yes but even so my 770 sli rig was handling everything so long as i wasn't hitting 2GB vram
except i started hitting 2GB more often than not, hence the upgrade
my fiance wants to upgrade and his aunt just died so he's getting some money to get an Xp or a 1080ti and i'll get his 980ti
the long term goal is 980ti sli
Nathan Cook
Founder's edition is bad ?
Ryder Stewart
yeah its the loudest one
Nolan Wood
not him but aftermarket 'stock' 1080ti's (non-founder's) generally outperform the officially licensed founder's editions
this is because OEMs can use better coolers and are allowed to have it factory OC'd out of the box
Carson Watson
>she
Logan Bennett
>she where the fuck did i even remotely imply subhuman disgusting female i'm masterrace homosexual, nigger
How is this looking, planning to start purchasing tomorrow
Kevin Clark
>fell for the ryzen meme Why is microsoft so desperate for people to use win10? It's kind of sad at this point
Josiah Wright
they're trying to unify their mobile and desktop OSes
what we get after 10 aims to be that
Nathan Long
So the computer labs in my school all have PC's with i7 4770's. How likely is it that I would be caught if I went in there one night and opened up one of the computers and took the CPU out and closed the case back up?
