I dropped my new cpu (with the plastic cover but outside the box) 2 feet below on hard tile floor - am I fucked or is it fine so long as it wasnt exposed?

Can a PNY 1080 fit in a carbide 240? It says max GPU length supported is 290mm, but it looks way larger than my current case. I have a bitfenix prodigy M, but I kinda want to change it. I was disappointed by the build quality and airflow. The carbide has a nice glass window to go full gaymen rice too.
Julian Robinson
No reason to pair a 8400 with a 1050ti, get a 1600 and spend the savings on a better card.
Zachary Morales
Redpill me on Ryzen
Isaac Ortiz
Don't get it if you're getting a 1080ti.
Kayden Green
>A8 9600 for non-gaming (light tasks) or bare minimum gaming builds WITHOUT a dedicated graphics card Reminder that you shouldn't be buying this for browsing and netflix because of the power consumption. G4560 is better for netflix machines Buying any current AM4 APU is stupid because Vega/Zen APUs are right around the corner The CPU part of the A8 is so bad it almost bottlenecks the onboard graphics
Easton Torres
I've got this fairly old prebuilt which already has gotten some small upgrades here and there. I've been planning on upgrading the CPU to an i5-8400 and I've been wondering if I need to replace the PSU (pic related) as well. I've been hearing prebuilt pcs usually cheap out on the PSU, but I don't know enough about them to judge.
tl;dr: Is pic related okay for i5-8400+gtx 960?
Isaac Nelson
Rx 580 8gb are available now for 280. 1060 6gb 260. Are these viable options?
James Wood
the 1060 6gb is, but it's a little higher than bf sales were
Matthew Morgan
I currently have a 760, would I get any benefit from upgrading to a 1050 ti or 1060 in Arma 3? Game uses a lot of CPU.
Jayden Miller

So, skylake prices will drop soon, right?

Which one of you fucking faggots said I couldn't use Coffee Lake on my Windows 7 huh?!
Parker Peterson
How did you do it you absolute faggot
Alexander Kelly
It's fucking easy, don't know why you faggots were crying wah wah about it not working.
Just use some common sense and find your drivers, they're all literally right on the web.
Isaiah Martin
I don't believe you, you're probably using a VM.
Bentley Thomas
Need help choosing ram and a power supply and cooler. I would like an external psu for this build if possible, i am going to put it in an nes case does it use standard ddr4 laptop ram
Nolan Green
Checked
Isaac Myers
>6666 Hmmm, I have my doubts user.
Christian Baker
Why are the coffee lake chips sold out everywhere?
Juan King
>drivers cpu's dont need drivers faggot only reason they say it wont work on old windows versions is because they probably get payed to shill the latest edition of windows
Christopher Lewis
> using a VM
for what purpose?
Nathaniel Ramirez
Holy mother of dubs
Colton Sanchez
I found a dusty gt 240 in a pile of garbage hardware should I just throw it in the bin or will someone be stupid enough to pay at least $20 for it
Gabriel Cruz
forgot pic kek
Cameron Clark
cheeekkkdddddddd
Liam Bennett
So, did you use a PS/2 keyboard or did you slipstream USB drivers into the installation.
Jonathan Gonzalez
nigga I meant the chipset drivers you baby
Eli Davis
Slipstreamed them in with ASUS EZ Installer tool.
Benjamin Howard
Hm, alright, I assume you also used wufuc and it worked.
I might do the same thing in the future.
Nicholas Baker
>ANUS Not him but kek.
So I'll just use the AssRock installer tool from my X370 Taichi to install it on my 1700 computer. Thanks for the confirm.
Ayden Morales
No problem, I did the same for my brother on his 1700 PC with an Asus Crosshair VI Hero.
It made life so much easy.
Jaxon Price
Correct.
Ayden Cook
I purchased the EVGA 1080 SC2 iCX. It's clocked slightly lower than the FT2 iCX, and also requires one less 8-pin connector. Does this difference really matter much at all?
Where do you live, I could give you five buck for it.
Isaac Peterson
Intel was bleeding sales to ryzen so they pushed coffee lake from 2018 to 2017. As such they didn't actually have time to manufacture enough to actually meet even a fraction of demand.
Isaiah Lewis
Yes. Just buy a regular HDD and save a couple bucks.
Connor Long
Too late I'm already beginning its destruction
Jace Reed
Updated this shit someone help with the psu plox thats all i need i have 6tb of 2.5mm drives to through in iff possible nut dont mind keeping them in their enclosures over usb
Michael Perry
What the fuck man
Luis Butler
Where do fellow leafs buy parts if amazon doesn't have them in stock?
Anyone that recommend some good youtube videos that help retards like me on how to set up a PC? I have all the parts just kinda need help on how to build it.

What's the bes thermal paste to use on when delidding a 6700k.
Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra or something else?
Also to rebind the heat spreader back to it suggestions?
I want to build a crypto mining rig, I get 50% I spend on hardware back due to reasons. What should I get for ~$5k?
Isaac Hall
What's this I'm reading about Samsung and Hynix chips? It's a lottery as to which I get, and if I get hynix then I get a worse product for my ryzen?
Christian Flores
8 rx580s and a mining mobo also a rope to hang yourself for being a cryptonigger
Robert Hughes
are the single fan 1060s safe?
Robert Fisher
Finally cracked the silicon substrate open so this is what GPU chips look like inside
Benjamin Russell
This wasn't even yours was it, Jamal?
Carson Flores
Lick it
Josiah Rodriguez
It is really good for a stock fan, but still loses significantly to mighty noctua
Hunter Miller
Is the heatsink too big for the case? There's barely like half a cm of clearance between the case door and the heatsink.
Henry Murphy
Final photo, this is the best my shitty phone camera can get
Technically no but it's from a trash pile
doesn't look very appetizing
Daniel Cox
I can't get a mining mobo, they/it needs to look like a normal workstation for me to get my money back
Easton Sanders
>"you wanna make sure you're plugging them in the right way or you're gonna have a bad day and break some pins" >"I have broken many a USB3 pin before, so I am a little nervous right now"

Yes
Justin Turner
Time to increase my budget then I guess.
What do I need to look out for? According to outervision.com/power-supply-calculator I get a recommended PSU wattage of about 400W, which seems unexpectedly low to me.
Let's say I want to be on the safe side (taking potential future upgrades into consideration) and go for ~650W, is there any psu you'd recommend? I found alternate.de/Cooler-Master/G650M-650W-PC-Netzteil/html/product/1088924 on sale which seems to be okay-ish but not amazing according to reviews.
It says 30A though, or am I misinterpreting the label?
Parker Lee
does anyone know of a good internal wireless card? my pce-n15 was working in my old build and is now shitting itself after transferring to my new one
Jose Wood
Is there any reason besides pricing to decide which manufacturer you get a mobo from? >tfw finally upgrading
Logan Clark
Power delivery Firmware I/O Form factor
that's about it
Ryder Nelson
forgot warranty
Brody Martinez
anyone who needs a psu for cheap go for the evga sales, copped a 750w latest gen gold rated full modular 750g3 for $70 including shipping th
Justin Evans
Aesthetics. I fucking hate red and black mobos
Cameron Wood
I might take black week-end to suddenly finally build my PC. What's your opinion on what a PS5's graphics card would be equivalent to? I don't want (can't afford) to go full 4k240FPS mustard race yet, just something that allows me to play current games for the next 5-6 years or so will do.
Leo Walker
Any that are particularly good in general with these?
Bentley Taylor
What's a good budget AM4 mobo?
Asher Morales
Then I take it that the am4 mobo that's used in most builds in the OP has all that going for it?
Lucas Russell
i need help folks i bought a MSI Z270 gaming plus mobo with a i7-7700k cpu. i don't know if i should get a gtx 1060 6gb like my original plan or a rx 580 or r9 fury if i can find one since the mobo supports crossfire. pls i don't know what do or if i goofed. i know i shouldn't have but i can't wait since this will be my first pc build. budget for gpu under 300$, this is for gaming.
David Taylor
Upgrading a 6 year old computer (FM1 socket APU in hybrid crossfire mode) for someone who mostly plays WoW. Here are the components I'm thinking of getting (case not included as the old one is being reused):
i3-8100 Z370 mobo GTX 1050 Ti 2x4GB 2400MHz C14 RAM 120GB SSD Corsair CX550 (80+ bronze, 5 year warranty) be quiet! pure rock (120mm) CPU cooler ..and a few more fans for the case.
Afaik, games like WoW mostly depend on the CPU so the quadcore in this case should do nicely in areas where there are lots of players and its quite cheap too (just over £100). The 1050 Ti can get over 60FPS with highest settings and anti-aliasing turned off from what I've seen on youtube reviews of this card on WoW.
All these components keep the price below £600 which is the budget. Thoughts?
Michael Barnes
What's with the angle?
Lucas Adams
What's a good, safe and temp for an OC'd R3 1200?
I got a Cool Master 212 Evo from Micro Center yesterday and I'm in the process of OCing the chip now. The highest I've hit after 15 minutes of Prime95 Small FFTs is 64°C, but that's on a mild OC of 3.6Ghz @ 1.3v.
Wyatt Moore
I currently have a 980ti SC and $450 burning a hole in my pocket. How long do I need to wait until they release a video card that substantially beats my 980ti for that amount of money.
Remember anons, no matter how bad you are at building a PC, you're not as bad as Sup Forums frogposters.
Brody Rodriguez
I just ordered a 1080 ti meme. Should throw it in with my old i5-4670k build and give newryzen or coffee lake some time?
Andrew Jackson
the wraith cooler it comes with is fine for regular use
Hudson Jones
Rate my workstation build: >Ryzen 1600 (will OC to 3.8-4.0) >Asrock AB350 Pro4 >2x8GB DDR4 2400MHz (will OC to 2933) >KFA2 GTX1050Ti EXOC (will OC to 1911) >Corsair RM-750 (had it for 4 years) rest is irrelevant
Nolan Lopez
Alright thanks. What thermal glue would you recommend I buy to use?
Michael Hall
pretty sure it comes preapplied, but arctic silver is the best to do it yourself
Evan Richardson
x8GB DDR4 2400MHz (will OC to 2933) yeah good luck with that fampai
Xavier Murphy
I need a GPU upgrade, my 6950 finally died. I have one of those 1440p korean monitors overclocked to 96hz Is a 1050Ti good enough? or should i get a 1060 I felt that my 6950 ran the games I was playing fine on 1080p low settings
Joshua Smith
Alright thank you my dude. I'm just waiting for the rest of my parts to get here. I bought them all 3days ago but so far I've only gotten my PC case and Fans. Everything else I'm still waiting for.
Sebastian Hughes
GPU seems a bit weak even with OC.
Connor Clark
yeah, I'd expect a wait til at least wednesday for anything bought without rush shipping. black friday is hurting shipping centers right now. most stuff is ~36 hours delayed
