Starting off with memes Post speccy's Have a 144hz monitor on the way
Benjamin Perry
UNLIMITED POWER. My mobo temp appears to be borked.
Jason Nguyen
Not bad, here's mine. I have another 2TB HDD that's not in my hotswap bay right now, along with a few 500GB externals
Bentley Gutierrez
I bought GSkill Ripjaws V 3000Mhz RAM when I built my PC awhile back, but every time I tried to change the RAM speed from 2133 to 3000 the computer crashed. I have a B350 motherboard.
Do you guys have any advice on boosting the RAM to its advertised speed?
Gabriel Cook
Threadripper 1950x guy here from the last thread.
Is 1000w going to be enough to drive that and two 1080ti's?
Looking forward to slapping it together, it's going inside this malaise 90's beige case with some sort of a window mod
Caleb Torres
Update BIOS
Yeah
Mason Robinson
Is your RAM on the mobo QVL? If yes, go to the bios and use XMP profile. If no, you can try use XMP or try set it manually Otherwise, you are SOL
Aiden Morgan
Look for the XMP button n BIOS If it is ASUS, some users have been posting issues in which case I'd consider returning and trying another (pure anecdotal evidence)
Josiah Brown
Update BIOS and set it to 2933
Isaac Baker
Is my GPU the only thing that can cause artifacts? I've replaced my processor, and my ram passed a ram check.
Gabriel Baker
Yes, if you've got artifacts it's 99% chance the graphics card
Hudson Collins
Artifacts is 80% hardware. 20% software. So test with another game/bench. Remember to remove your OC as instable OC causes artifacts.
Ethan Wood
Are shimmering edges with 8x AA a GPU issue?
Jordan Moore
Doubt it, I set up 4x MSAA and I can still see the fucking shimmers
For Gaming, Streaming, and just a workstation. Looking to stay under $1.5k. Settling for a 1060 for now but upgrading next year.
Looking for Storage and Monitor recommendations
Dominic Morris
Fuck it, putting my trip on. I'm the Threadripper guy.
Are all of the Corsair LPX Vengeance modules pretty much good to go with TR? I have 2666 C16 2x8gb and apparently TR likes 3000mhz and above, should I push the 2666 to 3000 or just buy faster ram?
Setup is a 1950x and ASUS Zenith Extreme, single R9 290 4gb for now will be dual 1080ti
Aaron Diaz
What about this on certain webpages? I checked on another PC and it's a solid color.
Gabriel Robinson
Out of morbid curiosity what's your monitor and how small is your dick?
Obviously if you can OC your current RAM do that, if you haven't bought RAM yet buy some rated to the speed you want
Some cheap shit LCD 1920x1050 I'll be fixing that too eventually.
the only reason I'm asking is I remember seeing on Sup Forums a while back how picky Ryzen was with memory and I don't know if that carried over to TR
Joseph Barnes
If you're running 1440p you're better off with an i5 8400 and a 1070 or better
Jordan Walker
Well, I don't have anything that looks like that. Though there was one game that always had artifacts after I loaded it up, but those would go away after 5 seconds.
Aiden Thomas
I see lines and im on a cheap Thinkpad E-series with AMD APU
Ryan Walker
You didn't answer the dick question.. I'm guessing sub-5"?
Anyway there is absolutely no point to dual 1080Tis unless you already have a 4K 144Hz monitor.. which do not exist
Mason Hall
Can anyone suggest me a decent monitor up to $350. Mainly for gaming and movies,I've got i5 3570,R9 380 so I think a 144Hz is nice but I will never reach that fps in newer games.
Oliver Young
There's a great one in the OP pcpartpicker
Joseph Long
My motherboard has the same problem. It should be "safe" right?
Matthew Jenkins
What about this? Are the flagpoles supposed to look like this with 8x AA?
Carter Turner
It's big enough to get the job done.
Will a single 1080ti be a noticeable difference or should I just keep the R9, I've been happy with it got it cheap
Liam Young
Final build I think posted this here before ended up changing Mobo and RAM because Ryzen can get up to 3200 apparently and also this has a better clearance for the cooler (thats how it seems in the pictures anyway, at least compared to Trident.) Just need to know if I'll need to buy cords or anything. Like a better cable for the SSD or etc; the one I'm using rn isn't as good as it could be. Also added the case fans. What is some good insulation foam I can use to seal the cracks? Is a fan controller worth it? lel
anyone here have experience with 90* degree rotated motherboard cases? like the silverstone ft05?
The posted temperatures seem really nice
David Butler
Can you apply 3 fans infront of the meshify?
Adam Walker
Also what's the best 144 freesync monitor? I was looking at Optix G24C since it's $200 rn
Zachary Evans
I tried updating BIOS but my computer still wont boot with the RAM at 2933MHZ
Jordan Morgan
Fuck off poorfag it's just for the Threadripper questions and shit, check your Aspergers at the login screen
Oliver Powell
>Hurrr durrrr i must have a trip when I answer questions KYS
Bentley Cox
Is your RAM on your Mobo QVL?
Camden Harris
Sorry if I sound dumb but what's QVL?
Zachary Thompson
>two 1080ti's what for you only need one at maximum
Hudson Roberts
Qualified Vendor List.
William Edwards
oh fuck it's not
but the 32gb version of it is
Adrian Morgan
Well if it is not, then you are SOL because it might be work at the advertised speed. You best now is to update bios but since it still doesn't work, slowly step up your RAM speed and see what is the highest it can reach. That is why there is a note in the OP to always check QVL, so as to avoid situations like this.
Aaron Ward
My R9 380 is enough for CSGO/BF4 in 144 fps, with lower settings of course.
But I think it would be better to just stick to 1080p 60hz, the 380 is at its best there and will give good graphical performance in most titles.
For $350 you can find a decently specced out monitor, like 1080p 144hz or a 1440p 60hz, but since your gpu is most optimal for a lower performance I'd say stick to 1080p 60hz and find a nice 24" model with IPS for the time being. Maby one of those freesync models even to make things smoother.
I'm thinking along the lines of this one: Samsung S24F350FHU Or if you already have a decent 1080p monitor: AOC Pro-line Q2775PQU
I'd probably pick the latter since viewing experience is better overall since you don't game on your monitor 24/7.
Samuel Price
I have three hard drives in my current PC: 1 hard drive with W10 and two others combined with W7. Is there a way I can access the files from the W7 hard drives from my W10 hard drive? I don't have a hard drive adapter on me because otherwise, I would have simply taken out the W7 hard drives and connected them to an adapter so that I can access the files I want.
Joshua Thompson
Manually putting in the rated RAM speed/voltage didn't work, but enabling A-XMP did
Thanks for the help
Jaxson Reed
Enabling XMP should always be your first option. Only manually put in the speed/volt if there is no XMP
Juan Campbell
What is the issue? They are all connected to your mobo right? Just access them via windows explorer?
Jordan Brooks
Ohh and my monitor is the AOC 24" G2460PF 144Hz.
Its great performing, its very functional, and its the cheapest option in its class (aside from its non-Freesync brother). Can't recommend it more. Downsides being the awful red bar at the bottom, front facing green power on led and that the screen pretty much lacks any decent factory color calibration. Nothing that 5 minutes in windows color calibration can't fix but unlike most monitor brands you really can't use the monitor until you have calibrated it.
Should be in a Sup Forums "hall of fame" for most recommended monitors.
Hudson Turner
Unfortunately probably yes
Keep 290 until you get a better monitor
If you're bothering with a new monitor get 144Hz Freesync VA panel. The one in the OP is $215 new on ebay
Ok, but outdated. VA panels are out for the same price
Colton James
>Ok, but outdated. VA panels are out for the same price
Ohh I see, prices in my corner of the world haven't caught up yet.
Ayden Morgan
You can fill in 3 120mm or 2 140mm in the front of Meshify C.
Brayden Carter
Will this era be remembered as the golden age of PC builds?
For 15+ years now you could have still been using the same PC with incremental upgrades.
Everything is modular and replaceable.
Adam Martinez
I recently got a good deal on an i5 4460. Will it be fine with a 1060 3GB?
Alexander Harris
Nevermind, I'm retarded
Gavin Wright
What's the best new poverty GPU for watching videos and light gaming? Something to slap into a 12 year old kid computer
Jaxon Foster
Unlikely considering how jews like intel force their customers to upgrade mobos and ram every couple generations of cpus.
Parker Foster
Yes. But get a 6GB one instead.
iGPU
Carter Richardson
? does not compute
Ian James
Switch the ram for 3200Mhz 14 14 14 34 it's that means it's probably Samsung b die and will be.much less of a headache to get to 3200.
Carson Cruz
But you just pop out mobo/Ram, pop new one in, simple AF.
Sorry ur tarded, rip.
Bentley Cook
Which one would you recommend?
Blake Walker
All of this fucking RAM is big as fuck with the pointless aesthetic shit on it and it wont fit with my cooler REEEEEEE
Bentley Baker
If I want to watch 4k porn what do I need?
Landon Richardson
>For 15+ years now you could have still been using the same >For 15+ years now >you could have >still been using the same
That is plenty. The CPU in that build supports 4k at 60Hz.
Jayden Wood
Just grab the cheapest after you check the reviews real quick.
Bentley Davis
Flare X Nibba
Alexander Gutierrez
I thought I needed a graphics card?
Eli Young
>For 15+ years now you could have still been using the same PC with incremental upgrades. r u tarded?
Robert Murphy
Question: I'm replacing about half of my pc. Its a few years old so time for major upgrades, and the upgrade will include a new mobo cpu and ram. Do I have to reinstall windows? If so, fucking how?
Oliver Jones
no but your spelling and lack of word order clearly indicates that you're functionally retarded.
Lincoln Parker
No, you don't need a graphics card. You can watch 4k 60FPS with onboard graphics. (Don't expect much gaming though.)
USB going from a blower 1080 gigabyte to a strix 1080 tripple fan worth the extra $80?
Lincoln Foster
Is going*
Christopher Lewis
is gaying*
Ayden Ross
This is a question you can google yourself to.
And we also need to know your OS details (Windows version, OEM or not etc).
Wyatt Howard
Ditch the Windows license and buy a key off from kinguin/ebay, upgrade the hdd to 2 or 4 TB.
Justin Phillips
my ram is apparently compatible(g.skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZKW) yet only gets 2133mhz
tried both XMP profiles included but only got my PC to automatically reset and scared the shit out of me
Cameron Watson
also I reinstalled windows and did update my bios and nothing more
David Brown
A fast internet connection
You need more money to spend on monitors Slow RAM/10
Carter Collins
MSI seems to have meh compatibility
Also a 580 isn't enough for 5760 x 1080
Chase Scott
I'm aware, but there's so many different oppinions. It seems like it's the safe bet to reinstall, but I've never done that before and I bought windows (10) online so I don't even have a disc. I know you can download the iso. Once I reinstalled windows when everything was bugging out, and I just used the tool in the recovery options, so I really didn't have to do anything. Idk how to manually reset a storage drive and I have two, a hdd and ssd, and there's a million different web pages from a million different years saying a million different things
William Martinez
I don't feel like buying a new monitor. How long will a 580 last me at 1080p do you think?
Isaiah Long
Probably until they quit making games for the PS4 Pro
Lincoln Hernandez
I never thought about looking at console generations as a guide of sorts for things like that, but it makes a ton of sense, thanks.

Somone clue me in on Mobos, what features do you actually consider important for a budget video editing rig?
Are there brands you'd stay away from, ones you prefer?
