PC building fomo sure is a sad feeling to have. If the timeline was a year or two ahead of the current schedule I would have probably seriously considered having my big upgrade be a return to Intel, especially if the cost-efficient Arrow Lake Refresh chips also happened.

If you can get a 7600x for like -100 euro monies you can get some money back there, going to a 9700 isn't going to make a huge difference in video gaymes at 1440p.

What CPU he needs depends entirely on what kind of games he wants to play.

What do u need the ryzen 7 for ? Just get a 9600x ( if u plan on gaming u won't need more )

Videocard is fine or with the money saved from the cpu and a little extra buy a 5070 or 5070 ti but lean towards the more vram. If u can't or don't feel like it u can stay with the xt to buy more ram.

>>108603644
AM4/5 still have a huge 'no place' zone around the CPU for heatsink clearance, they aren't allowed to have stuff right next to the socket like a laptop.
So why not just make the CPU package larger? Then they could have all the MLCCs AND an IHS without stupid cutouts. It's not like there isn't space.

Intel won't ever be back imo.
Sick of the 1 generation per socket shit, I don't believe them when they say they new socket will last 4 generations, since they'll probably just release binned parts as a 'new generation' again.
They fucked me with LGA1700 for the last time. Fuck intelaviv forever.

I just hope the competition will lead AMD to hire somebody that can design IHSs.
AM5 having an IHS that increases the chip's temps by like 20 degrees over running delidded is fucking nuts.

It kind of looks like it would melt if you left cinnebench on repeat for 2 hours. Probably not an actual issue, if it throttles you can buy heatsinks off the internet. Alternatively z690 boards even if they're ddr4 are usually still like $70/$80 used, that + a 14600k with just the most simple tweaks is an easy +10/15% to performance

Also if you're buying everything online just go to ddr5, there's no point sticking with ddr4 at that point.

Hello. Sorry, I don’t know the technical terms but i need some help before i end it all.

AMD RYZEN 7 5800X3D 8-CORE PROCESSOR

32G RAM

NVIDEA GEFORCE RTX 5070 Ti

Tonight my pc started randomly crashing mid game ( Overwatch and Where Winds Meet).

The screens freeze and theres that GGGGG sound (GPU crash?). The last time it crashed the sound wasnt even there. Just the frozen screens and nothing works. When i restart it takes a long ass time and i sometimes need to resort to pushing the button on the back of the case and then starting up again.

This has happened maybe 3 times before in the span of 6 months but never like this. All drivers are up to date as far as I can see.

For 12 years i had a man that works in tech that handled any issues but now i dont so kindly explain to me like im 5.

Any help / advice would be appreciated, thanks so much.

Buy used 2x16 ram and a new 5060ti 16GB instead. Find a mobo with more slots for future upgrades. Ram almost never degrades and the most common reason for reselling is moving to ddr5 or larger modules. I recently bought 2 used 16gb's for 50$ each, works great. You shouldn't be paying that much for a similar setup to the one i'm upgrading from.

Rate my ~$860 third world build. Yes I have to pay that much for this absolute piece of shit, I suffer in the third world.
I can keep the specs basically the same but with a few GPU options. The highest my poorfag wallet allows is replacing the GTX1660S with a Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 Gaming OC 8GB, making the final build cost around $1010, or downgrade a little and get XFX Radeon RX 6650 XT Speedster Swft210, 8GB, $980 final.

Can one install winshit 11 without Internet connection and making a microslop account?

It only makes sense if you're working with ai. Basically a complete waste of money for anything other than ai and light video editing.

When you buy a 5060ti 16gb You're just paying to have 8gb of vram sit there and do nothing. The 5070 doesn't need 16gb, but for some reason they thought it was a good idea to slap it on a 5060ti.

New cramped build, I'm a little concerned that the SSD hits 79°c in certain vidya, everything else runs pretty cool. How can I get moar air down here?
Also, should I move the left most cpu fan to the right?

its lewd and nude, not much room for any kind of heatsink. Apparently those temps are acceptable for gen5 but still...

The other option is to move it to the bottom right slot which is gen4 but i doubt i'll even notice the speed difference, I've been running a SATA ssd for the last 10 years.

>>108607931
>3 in 3 out.
Isn't this creating negative airflow? Try reverting one (or both) of the fans on top to pull in air.

Embrace manhood. I built a display cabinet, put my heavy duty pc inside, cut a small hole on the back, installed filter and a simple 120mm exit fan. Zero dust. During summer it cools, during winter it heats the room, because its easier to keep microclimate around your pc stable, separated. Zero dust so the heatsinks are always shiny and chrome.

>>108607931
You should undervolt the CPU & GPU to reduce the amount of heat they generate if you haven't done so.
That will have a bigger impact on reducing case temps compared to playing around with fan layout.
Set stricter power limits for the GPU as well, around 85% of the stock power draw.

suggestions for a heatsink that will fit in here appreciated.
it's around 40-50c most of the time, so far only spiderman remastered has bumped it up to 79c

the cpu and gpu are surprisingly tame, neither have gone above 75c yet

>>108608013
PCIe Gen 5 NVMe drives should be used with a heat spreader btw.
There should be enough clearance for a lower profile M.2 heat sink.

Probably removed due to pricing. Likely doesn't make sense next to a 5070, at least for gaming, which are what the recommendations in the OP mostly pertain to. The 5060 Ti 16 GB might still make sense for a workload like Blender

Not a good idea. If you already have everything in your list, just sit on it for a while. The minimum upgrade from the 1660 Super is the 4060 or 5060.

>>108604368
That extra 1 GB might unironically help a little bit because retarded devs try to target 8 GB with presets and overshoot by 500 MB. A 12 GB 5060 Ti (4x 3 GB modules to replace the 4x 2 GB modules) would have been perfect. Instead consumers got 3x 3 GB modules. Obviously from a RAM shortage perspective (aka reality) this makes sense but it would be nice to dream about better days where a 12 GB 5060 Ti exists for the poorfags

Any good website or forums that has tested settings for universal x86 tuning utility? The amd apu tuning software.
Bought my wife a lenovo p14s with a 370 and it has horrible battery life.

>>108609655
To get decent path tracing performance, you really need a 4090 + 10%. The 5070 Ti is fine if you want to upscale from 720p, but my experience is that full RT and denoising wants at least a 1080p input resolution to minimize artifacts like boiling and grain. The 6070 Ti will likely be """""value""""" PT card

>>108609659
The easiest way to remove the HSF is the run a multicore workload for a minute or two to heat up the chip and loosen the paste.

>>108607931
Another win for 2.5" SATA SSDs. A good storage format doesn't need its own heatsink or risk hitting too-high temperatures as a result of its mounting port being retardedly close to high heat outputting devices.

Why can't it be disabled? This is still an obstacle in 2026 and it's BULLSHIT.
Where is this logic located that it can't even be defeated by the likes of ASUS, MSI, etc who actually order the damn RAW panels from Samsung & LG? They've been dicking around with EOTF Boosters for years to try and working around the factory handicaps but why they just drive the panels the exact ways they want to? We know LG/Samsung are artificially limiting the brightness of OLED monitors compared to how they drive the TVs they cut from the same motherglass so what technically is stopping someone from offering an "Overclocked/Fully Unlocked" OLED monitor to consumers with the actually maximum brightness they are capable of at 100% Fullscreen with no dimming.

wonder if intel realizes if they took bartlett lake and filled the e-cores space with l3 cache they would have a very popular gaming cpu on par with the 9800x3d that uses ddr4 and would put the company back on the map, but I guess having a religous fanatic followed by a money grubbing greedy chink as CEOs is indicative of a company that cannot make good decisions

1. Go for modern AM5 (B850, X870, X870E) because the PCIe slots (graphics, NVMEs, any extension cards) will have v5.0 spec and be future proof. Older boards aren't worth the small amount of money saved.
2. If buying Intel, just the latest LGA1851 for similar reasons. Core Ultras over 14th gen because the new 250K and 270Ks are really top of the line in value as long as you can find them.
3. None of the above will have problems with "overcompensating" or "bottlenecking" any component, not even on the budget models. You're asking for motherboard suggestions so you aren't a pro overclocker who could potentially run into any such problems.

240hz is the sweet spot

I bought the thermalright one, much better now

>>108613535
hr-10?

>>108607931
the first top fan should be pushing air down and you should buy a third fan for the cpu cooler, it's cheap

>>108613541
no the low profile one anon linked here. i'd never fit a hr-10 in there.
>>108608960

>>108613553
I was considering that, or one fan blowing directly in If i shuffle the cables from the psu around there;s space for another 120mm on the side rail.

thats how noctua tells us it should be, but they also say you buy the little bracket to make the fan deeper

>>108613587
if you look back to my original pic, that big chunky boy of a card is a blowthrough type, does the noctua idea still work? I cannot into airflow physics

Gemini recommends:
flip the rear exhaust to intake, flip the direction of both cpu fans, mesh filter the newly flipped intake.

place another 120mm fan on the side rail aligned with the gpu backplate cutout to intercept the blowthrough from the gpu fans, leave top and bottom as they are.

Is Gemini en point or on crack?

That's the Ryzen Experience
7600x was my first ryzen i was surprised to see idle 39 then jump to 49-53 when opening the browser.
i decided to undervolt but ultimately replaced it with 9600x that idles on 37 and does not hit 52c not even in games (same exact cooler as u have)

>>108613697
That will drop temps significantly at the cost of much faster dust buildup

I clean my old pc every three months or so, no big deal. I may give it a shot.

AM4 BROS
WE HAVE BEEN VINDICATED
it's not our beloved 7800x3d on am4, but it's something

That's cool
I might get one for my collection

AMD found some more dead Epycs to turn into X3Ds

intel is also doing another raptor lake refresh

>>108614216
Epycs get the slow, low leakage chips that don't clock high

how's 2,5" ssds going? samsung and crucial dont make them anymore, on amazon i still find adata and lexar, is it safe to assume that most laptops dont accept them anymore nowdays?

>>108614453
nah, laptops dont have cd drives or sata ssd slots anymore

should i buy a cpu, motherboard and ram from aliexpress? i am on an extreme ($400~) budget for this pc build. why or why not?

>>108614501
its the same as buying from ebay but its from china and less buyer protection

>>108611765
Always makes me laugh when they tout 3 years burn in protection warranty and there's a setting that you have zero control over and cannot turn off that shitcans the brightness as soon as it detects any chance of actually being bright

and it still burns in lmao

>>108614501
I'd probably get a budget motherboard made by mainstream AIBs for the more reliable BIOS.
SZCPU @ AliExpress is a legitimate tray CPU vendor.

Memory, the Chinese have been harvesting memory modules from scrap PCs.
The very cheap memory set you buy may not have identical memory sticks (basically forget about OCing).
Some people said these guys were selling counterfeit Kingbank memory kits.

thank you anons. this helped me.

>how's 2,5" ssds going?
badly market is totally dead

>>108614453
At that point why not a 2230/2242/2260 m.2 ssd?
Those are still relatively affordable.

>>108614600
look at mr. moneybags over here

the 7800x3d on am4 dream has been replaced with the 5800x3d node-shrink to 6nm dream

>>108614619
I'd be content with just a 5800x3d packaged in a fancy special edition box desu

>>108614621
it better say "10th year anniversary edition" on cpuz

>>108614458
>>108614585
so they essentially killed it in favor of m.2? i dont understand, most mobos only have 1 or 2 m.2 slots, and they still come with many satas.
>>108614600
my mobo already has a m.2. i was thinking of putting an ssd in my pc for my brother to use, so that in the future he can use it in another computer (laptop), but most laptops don't accept them anymore. so the best choice would be a 2230 inside a sata adapter? that way i could move it to another desktop/laptop.

Is it worth getting one of those nowadays? I currently have a 5600g

>>108614671
does your motherboard not have a second m.2? there's often a second one tucked away in a weird spot. Check your mobo's manual. If not, does it have a free pcie slut?
There's also single drive variants if you're concerned about gpu airflow. Admittedly it is adding cost but it's the same cost as an nvme to sata adapter and you get to keep all the benefits.

>>108614758
it's the only AM4 upgrade worth making. If not go to AM5.

>>108614775
Can't afford the upgrade to am5. I just hope this 5800x3d will be reasonably priced, and that scalpers and bots won't fuck the rest of us over...

>>108614758
5800x3d is really snappy in games if you have a gpu that's fast enough to make use of it
