What is the best budget Socket 1150 Mini-ITX Motherboard with USB 3 and PCI-E slot.
I stupidlz boight a case and didnt realise it was Mini ITX not Mini ATX
Upgrading from a 6 year old CPU. Is it worth waiting for the Ryzen+/refresh? How much better will it be than the current Ryzen chips?
Lucas Scott
whats the cpu u have now
Logan Baker
"upgrading" to Poozen
Bad choice
Owen Brooks
i5-3450
Charles Peterson
I think they only allow you to enter a US address since you have no option to change your country. I ordered something from the US site years ago but I guess they changed it.
John King
Elaborate on the benefits of an 8600k then. I'm using a 60-75GHz(max) monitor. Ryzen outperforms Intel on RPCS3 and even seems to do a good job on cemu. Ryzen has better productivity with its extra threads. The only thing it seems to fall short on are the fps benchmarks, but even then, at FHD, it doesn't seem far behind.
Anything I'm missing? I'll admit I'm new to this.
Brandon Wilson
>Ryzen outperforms Intel on RPCS3 and even seems to do a good job on cemu.
Source?
Christopher Ross
well i built my pc, now idk i ust use it for web browsing and watching anime
Xavier Ramirez
Which one, pcbg? ASRock Taichi or MSI Gaming Pro Carbon?
Nah, I need the wifi, or I'll have to spend $50 on an adapter anyway.
Ethan Turner
crosshair wifi version then. on board wifi is shit, and youll kick yourself if you go asrock. msi is alright i guess.
Jackson Lopez
Start modding skyrim to the point where you need a stronger pc
Evan Fisher
I just bought a new case because I didn't really have one. I was that guy with parts on a desk. Anyways I have this molex port on the. Bottom of my motherboard, however I cant plug anything into it. Do I need to have that urged on? Should I just cut that little metal between the two SSD cord openings?
The case is the H440 and the motherboard is a Maximus V Formula.
Gabriel Bell
Is a 1050 enough for the newest game I own being CS:GO?
Juan Bennett
Picture with flash to show my dusty shit and to highlight that literally who port
Colton Wood
wait and see how ryzen+ looks like in february
Cooper King
on-board wifi will never reach 20+ mbps either buy an adapter or suffer from shitty wifi
John Richardson
Yes; CS:GO isn't demanding. If your monitor is 120hz or high res the 1050ti would be better.
Ayden Green
1920x1080 monitor 60hz
Charles Morgan
>website is selling monitor >look at specs >no mention of hz/refresh rate anywhere is it safe to assume this would always mean that its 60 or less?
Lincoln Baker
Really? Built in 802.11ac is slower than a USB adapter? Why do companies even bother putting it in then?
Andrew Jenkins
The 1050 would be fine
Lucas Jenkins
Which is better, a 1080 or a 1070Ti?
Jeremiah Phillips
>Really? Built in 802.11ac is slower than a USB adapter why would you get a usb adapter? get a pcie one or if you really give a shit a m2 one for the crosshair.
Owen Perry
Do boxed CPUs come with thermal paste I can apply to the motherboard? Or do I have to buy some separately?
Tyler Nelson
the 8600k has 6 cores
Alexander Turner
the 1800x has 8
Evan Price
Let me guess.. Canada? Newegg.com makes it difficult, even if you use a freight forwarder you still need to have US billing info. On top of that you need to pay duty on import. All so that Newegg can charge us $50-$100 more on a product even after conversion.
Charles Ward
and no multithreading
Angel Green
Is there literally any reason to buy an AIO anymore over something like a Noctua D15 assuming you have the space? It seems like while maybe still true for custom loops, the high quality air coolers are beating the shit out of AIOs in both cooling AND noise.
Oliver Rivera
anyone else waiting for zen+ and volta before building a pc? feels like a dumb idea to build now.
Daniel Allen
So none of the Ryzen+ models will be cheaper than a R3 1200 right
Liam Sanchez
>or if you really give a shit a m2 one for the crosshair. Link?
Luke Fisher
Alright, can someone help me out? This is a link to my exact current build on part picker and what I paid for the items. pcpartpicker.com/user/Magister_Fatum/saved/CftXLk My question is, what should I upgrade next? I fucked up and bought into the 7700k meme and hate myself for it now. My motherboard is also an object of hate for the same reason. My ram was a good choice and is stable at 3200mhz Whats next?
Hunter Wright
>multicore processor >no multithreading u wot? even dual cores have multi threading, retard.. provided teh software supports it ofc
Asher Bennett
>zen+ (lol
I'm waiting for Volta and Coffee Lake-S
Jose Ward
Pre applied
No, d15 is peak performance, aios are a bad choice all around
Link to what? The crosshair vi clearly has space for it. I just dont see why youd use it though
I think he means hyper threading, its pretty obvious
Charles Sanchez
thoughts on this for 800€? already got a gpu nd a case
Cooper Hall
>no gpu smash that worthless shit with a hammer.
Hunter White
Most notable difference is that the 1070ti uses GDDR5, while the 1080 uses GDDR5X, which is faster. Also, NVIDIA decided not to let any 1070 tis be factory overclocked, so you'll have to do it manually to make buying a better cooler worth it.
John Powell
Why are you spending that much on an outdated processor
Brandon Walker
Answer me please
Michael Torres
>one stick of ram >last gen i7
You might be retarded my dude. Even Ryzen is a better purchase than that
Ryder Jones
Are the single-fan models of the 1060 good enough or will it risk heating issues? They are quite a bit cheaper than the double-fan models here
Samuel Diaz
When is 2060-70 happening?
I have a 980ti that is going to run out of warranty soon and I kinda want to sell it with the Christmas fuss since I don't even use it but I NEED a nvidia gpu because is the only one that display proper colors on my ultrasharp yet I would feel like a retard buying anything from this gen since the prices are literally 1 tier over past gen
Jacob Ward
>2060-70 >implying it won't be 1150-80 lmao
Jordan Roberts
How long does it take newegg to get ram back in stock, been waiting on a back order for like a week now.
Ayden Young
Do you guys put figurines inside your case?
Jack Howard
The GPU will shut itself down before any permanent damage but it definitely will run hotter than a dual fan. If your case has a ton of airflow it probably won't be as big a deal but if you're lacking on airflow I'd be cautious.
Isaac Morgan
I can't hot glue them if they're in the case
Well, I can, but there's a risk of semen falling on my hardware and damaging, and I'm not one of those people that get excited by danger.
Also I don't have money for figurines.
Tyler Foster
My system works now, but for some reason ubuntu only displays 8 cores in htop. Did I mess something up or should I get a newer kernel? And why does it show 8 cores specifically?
Specifics: Ryzen r5 1600 SIX core (×8 says system monitor) 8GB ddr4 3000MHz etc Asrock AB350m Pro4 Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 32-bit (was sure it was 64-bit..) Kernel Linux 4.4.0-101-generic i686
Brody Walker
The 7700k isn't a bad buy if you can get it on sale and save on a mobo enough to make it better price to performance over coffee lake but that looks pretty bad senpai.
Adam Smith
Bought a 500w air blower from Amazon instead of using canned air, the amount of dust you blow out of a PC can be disgusting. Don't forget to clean the inside every few months, the dust causes higher temps.
Matthew Brooks
Get Ryzen. Even Covfefe will work, but the Kaby Lake Core i* CPUs are obsolete - especially at ridiculous moon prices like this. RAM for today's mainstream desktop CPUs should be ran in dual-channel, so 1 x 8GB is fine if you're going to upgrade to 2 x 8GB once you can afford it / RAM prices come down somewhat. If, however, you want to stick with 8GB, get 2 x 4GB instead. Also, 2133 Mhz is really slow - if possible, go for 2666-3200 with Intel and 3000-3200 with Ryzen.
one metric: sound quality contenders: asus crosshair hero vi; asrock x370 taichi; gigabyte aorus k7
asus - supreme fx s220 (which if i'm not mistaken is a modified realtek) + mkt shenanigans asrock - realtek alc 1220 + mkt shenanigans gigabyte - (2x) realtek 1220 + creative soundblaster + mkt shenanigans
so, gigabyte simly because of the amount of components? or should I be considering other things first?
Dylan Jackson
btw, I'm interest in knowing which one has the audio quality but i'm not sperg enough to go for a usb DAC, dedicated sound card or increasing the overall cost in any way.
Austin Diaz
How do I go about installing Windows on my new rig after assembling? First time building and I don't know what I'll need to install it or how it's supposed to work. Do I really have to pay $100 for a key?
Brandon Young
You can install for free at first but it will have an activate windows watermark. Just download the windows media creation tool from Microsoft. There are key sites where you can get it for much cheaper
Liam Nguyen
And I need to put it in a flash drive right? Any good cheap USBs Sup Forums recommends or just get whatever Amazon has on sale?
Aaron Jackson
Yeah it needs to be at least 4GB or 8GB, I can't remember which but it tells you. Just get a cheap 3.0 on Amazon or go to Walmart. They're cheap enough that it really doesn't matter.
Adam Scott
>coffeelake is infamous for overheating/throttling and still shilling it >8 gig stick of ram is good for future upgrades
Gavin King
I forget who, but someone from LTT made a build with amethyst crystals surrounding the components
Hunter Lewis
so why don't they want you plugging in the usb 3 and 2 connectors at the same time?
Easton Morales
What do you mean?
Owen Perry
For new games, is 1060 suitable? how will cope with screen capturing in games?
Leo Gonzalez
1060 6GB is perfect for 1080p but I don't know anything about screen capturing
This build has 500GB SSD. Since I'm dual booting, I'm thinking of dropping the SSD and using that money to double up on the ram. (4 x 8gb) instead of (2x8gb) Is this a bad idea?
Charles Cox
So I'm in a weird predicament--my Frankenstein's monster of a NAS died on me recently (which was actually a blessing since there was nothing of consequence on it) and I want to build a new one. Thing is, it seems a shame to devote a new build for it, only to condemn it to a lifetime of servitude.
I was going to do a Ryzen 3 build, but I can also shift everything to my existing productivity computer and make my Ryen build my new productvity computer.
Opinions?
Kayden Ross
Bump
Logan Ward
are these good temps, for an overclock [email protected], used aida64 and tested for an hour
Robert Powell
Yes 85c is the start of concern and 100c is shutdown
Lucas Fisher
what is dual channel memory?
Oliver Scott
thanks, can you tell me one me 1 more thing? what's up with the random spikes to 50s for a sec or so, when watching youtube or browsing Sup Forums.
Luis Baker
I've heard other anons say you can thank JavaScript for that
Hudson Barnes
FUCK NEWEGG.
Im sticking to Amazon or microcenter now.
Camden Walker
just finished building my pc and it fucking shocks me every time I touch it. anyone knows why and how i can fix this?
Jack Martinez
Are christmas sales worth waiting for? What's the best way to find discounted parts? Craigslist?
I wasn't paid until after Cyber Monday. Feels bad.
Robert Fisher
Stop dragging your feet What happened? The deals all sucked anyways, you didn't miss anything
William Ramirez
How much of a difference is there between cl14 and cl16?
Isaac James
does the coffeelake line of chips run as hot as I've heard? I have an 8600k coming and I'm wondering if my 212 evo will be enough to keep it cool at least at factory clock. should be, right?
Ryan Anderson
The fucking cunts wont rma my Mobo. I opened the box and bag but cannot prove i did not damage it.
Fuckkkk
will MSI warranty my mobo? will their be a small charge?
FUCKING JEWS
Charles Hall
i3-8350k GTX 1060 3GB 2x4GB DDR4 SSD
Good enough for consistent 60+ FPS in WoW?
Nolan Wood
What's the damage? Did you call Newegg or email? If you raise enough of a fuss they should rma it. Initial reply especially with email will be to deny you but keep pushing it.
Carter Robinson
cl14 3000MHz should be faster than cl16 3000MHz, not sure by how much, but if you can get similair RAM with lower timings and about the same price you should go for it.
Thomas Cruz
As someone who works in the retail industry, let me explain the basics to you >Prices are usually set my the manufcaturer (MSRP) >Stores, to be competitive, normally don't sell at MSRP, but instead sell at a normal discounted price >This is considered 'full-retail' >If units aren't moving, a store might discount them, either during a holiday even or sale, or a at a random interval >This is when you should normally buy a unit >When a unit is on clearance, it usually means the store might not be purchasing additional inventory of the item anymore >This is also normally a good time to pick it up, but be careful since it now might be outdated >During the holiday season though, stores will slowly mark up all the items to full-retail prices >When BF/CM rolls around, they'll mark them down to normal sale prices, making the change in price all that more dramatic
You probbably missed the BF/CM shock prices, but if you don't buy your shit now, prices are going to shoot up next year and won't come down until the next holiday/promotional event.
Brandon Long
Hey guys did they raise prices on everything on cyber monday?
I bought an msi 1080 for 533 on black friday, on cyber monday it was 633 not its 569. wtf is going on?
Matthew Gomez
You fell for the marketing tricks. Don't be so naive next year and listen when people say the sales are atrocious.
Jason Miller
one of the pcie slots was crooked and the pins underneath i assumed were all fucked. But since i opened the fucker they think i did it.
Even if i bitch i think they'll just give me 50-75% back.
I hope msi does cheap repairs or will honor the warranty
Evan Lee
Did you try it?
Charles Butler
Sorry for the fucked up text, but bottomline, it's a not a matter of how much it costs, but how bad you need it--there are always going to be lower prices, but are you really going to spend the time and energy trying to get that price versus actually getting the item.
Robert Richardson
On one had, coffee lake is better, on the other hand, ryzen is cheapers and so are AM4 motherboards, and I'm on a tight budget so I can't go over it. If I had an extra 100 euros I could go for Coffee Lake but I don't know when I'll be able to get a hundred more.
