If your case didn't come with a bracket, look around on the case manufacturer page if they don't have some sold extra. Or you can buy/3d print your own. Or you just lay it on some piece of foam in the case where is room. You can hide it under the psu shrouds or smth.

>>108997415
You'll be fine, most games are made for 30fps and look like shit when interpolated to 60fps.

>>108997136
mITX is at premium price for the compactness. mATX is not as popular as it used to be over a decade ago sadly, because it was used for smaller cases that also had bays, room for cooling for GPUs, 5.25 and 3.5" drive mounts etc. These days nobody seems to use these at all sadly, its all glass fishtanks with no room for anything. These days there are hardly any mobo that use it and almost none that are high end (remember in the old days Asus ROG boards used to have the "gene" suffix if it was mATX or "impact" suffix if it was mITX").

Honestly I don't see the point today most often - either use a smaller ATX case or stick to mITX and cases designed specifically for its layout if you want one.

i have been looking for some time and it was the cheapest offer for a 32 woled screen, i watched some reviews and there only seems to be one panel that all the producers are using? so i just looked for the cheapest offer.

>>108997802
if you're strictly only after woled monitors, that seems to be the case
though they've just announced next-gen 4k woled with true black 600 certification this past week

>>108997817
yeah i figured there was a new release because of all these discounts on the old gen. But im actually still using a aoc 1080p screen with an 5090 lmao so it will be an upgrade for me and pretty cheap compared to what these screens cost a year or two ago.

im not really that autistic about image clarity, i dont even know what a tru black 600 cert is. dont all oled screens have very dark blacks?

>>108997838
the oleds can get bright enough that its not a huge deal on day to day content watching
but the newer monitors will have better sub-pixel layout

>>108997838
True black ceritifcaiton mostly guarantees a minimum baseline for brightness at a 10% or 100% Average Picture Level (APL; i.e. percentage of your screen being close to 100% white) while using HDR
You won't really miss much with true black 400 since will always have the amazing contrast levels regardless

Guys if you want an efficient PC then you need to underclock it. You can get like 80% the performance with 40% the power draw. Disabled 5800X3D turbo boost and set max vram clock of my 9070xt to 60%. Now I can game in my hot asf room.

>>108997879
reducing vram clock of all things seems a bit insane

>>108997883
It works well enough. Cache can deliver and is more energy efficient. By proxy it forces the GPU to clock lower a bit. My 9070XT runs at about 160 Watt or lower if the game is framrate capped.

>>108997869
>>108997872
thanks for explaining anon. i still think i made the right choice, because i wouldnt want to spend 1000 EUR + for a new screen

thats smart anon. im the other way around, i use my 5090 to mine crypto, its actually profitable atm.

It was pretty silly when I played zero parades with 120 fps cap on 3080

its actually pretty spot on. 7600 has more CUs than steam machine and is rdna3 same as it. also zen 4 cpu like machine but higher tdp instead of capped at 30w. we dont know the real price of steam machine yet but if we assume its around $900-1000 after tax then its pretty similar.

What's the best performing thumb drive? I already have an ASUS NVMe enclosure but I'd like something smaller to put on my keyring.

File: 1751421345950600.png (180.1 KB)

I have a 3060TI (i know its over for me) and i have never given it a maintenance pass.
Am i fine purchasing a grizzly thermal sheet and just replacing its thermal paste (whatever remains there) with the sheet? Im too chickenshit to also mess with the thermal pads. Just replacing the paste and giving the fans a bit of a dust off.
It usually performs cool enough since i play old shit and im happy to run games on lower resolutions/fps for extra performance but im playing the 007 game right now and it sends it to 85ºc pretty damn fast.
Any and all opinions welcome, Thank you.

>>108999594
Is that 85C core or hotspot? Also what about the memory temp? Run Furmark for a few minutes and report the temps, gaming tests are inconsistent.

>>108999535
are there any USB 4.0 thumb drives at this point? Otherwise the NVME enclosure seems to be the best but it's certainly larger than some USB stick.

>>108999634
>Is that 85C core or hotspot?
Whatever the GPU Temperature from Afterburner (pic rel) measures. I wasn't fully monitoring it through HWinfo, i just keep a small display with cpu/gpu temp and fps to see if anything weird happens; and hadn't seen the gpu temp rise like it does on the 007 game in a while, even when my card is slightly undervolted.

>Also what about the memory temp?
As in ram or vram? i dont think i have a way to measure my ram temperature.

>Run Furmark for a few minutes and report the temps
I guess thats the right way to go about it, but still i dont think that repasting the card is a bad idea, i have had it for four years

>>108999594
That's Anon from SummerTime something by Dark Cookie, I haven't thought or played that game in a while. I think played that game when it was only half done, at least before he put Trump in it.

>>108999691
I'm gonna assume that 85C is the core temp then, which is pretty bad. Repasting is a good idea but if it's four years old the thermal pads on the VRAM and VRMs will just break apart and will need replacing as well. Personally I use cheapo Thermalright pads from Aliexpress but I splurge on the paste (and usually spread it out with the spoon like Thermal Grizzly recommends).

The specs picked by OP are way too :

I daily-drive a GTX 745 OEM (4 GB Vram), a Ryzen 5, alongside 8 gigs of RAM.

That's enough to hit around 500 FPS on Minecraft with shaders and the Voxy mod.

It's enough to play most Switch games emulated.

Im worried about the pads since it seems that picking the correct ones is merciless, if i pick pads too thick or too thin i risk ruining the card right? while the paste im not totally retarded and i can easily replace it with a sheet or repaste.

If you are going to replace the TIM on a GPU, then you might as well be willing to do it "regularly", as in just a few times before you will be upgrading. In that case you can make use of putty instead of pads and not really care about getting the correct thickness.

Dumb question with someone who really prefers 24"inch monitors due to their setup so bear with me

I bought this monitor and ended up really liking it https://www.amazon.com/INNOCN-Monitor-Desktop-DisplayPort-25G2S/dp/B0DSPLKKZV

But also recently heard about minileds and theres a miniled version. I have an oled on my laptop for some reason and a oled steamdeck so I have some experience. But on the otherhand I'm really one of those people who use factory settings on monitors cause I could not tell you what HDR stands for. I do know whats important to me is image/text sharpness but thats just screensize/resolution so nothing to do with panels really.

The question is is it worth upgrading to miniled? is it an upgrade? I dont play FPS games or any action games. Mostly JRPG, visual novels and code editing for work.

>>108999782
>too thin
Then you get no contact, temps will be sky high and hopefully you notice and redo it.
>too thick
Pretty hard to do (just measure the old ones with calipers and add a bit to account for squishing). But yeah, worst case I guess you can crack a VRAM chip.

If you think you're too dumb to do it right and have money to burn you can use thermal putty, it's much more forgiving.

>>108999862
If you don't play 3D AAA games or bother to pirate HDR media you don't need to upgrade. For your use case I'd rather get a 4K display (24 inchers are kind of rare these days).

Daily Driving 1440p @ 24" offers you really great sharpness PPI (122), so moving to anything less than 4K (either 32" or preferably 27") is gonna look soft and dull by comparison regardless to what you are used to. HDR is a crapshoot and will continue to be for another 5-6 years often looking worse than SDR because no one knows how to properly configure it yet (including monitor OEMs, OS devs, and game/movie graders). MiniLED suffers from blooming a lot of time so even really high brightness won't really help and is not a substitute for the per-pixel contrast you get from OLED.

tl;dr Your next appreciable upgrade in image quality is gonna need to be a 4K OLED to give you better contrast and equivalent sharpness (preferably with an RGB Stripe subpixel arrangement but those are largely only coming to market next year).

thanks. I'll just save my money for a 4K OLED when I'm able to move my setup to a bigger desk.

>>109000061
Just adjust the fan and pump speed so you don't run them at 100% for no reason.

>>109000032
Eh, technically the best is probably the Tryx 360 but it's really bad value. Just buy the Arctic and don't bother changing the fans. Or if you're really cheap get a Thermalright air cooler, you probably don't need more.

>>108999634
Furmark put it on 88º GPU temp and 105º hotspot
I have started to research on the pads but might end up just buying putty with a friend and we replace the pads with putty in both our cards.

is the argb version identical to normal? i wouldnt mind getting an dim white/grey rgb inside the rig

does refresh rate above 120hz really much of a difference or is it placebo

>>109000136
If both are the same name then yes, only difference are those gay lights.
Before you buy that AIO check if it will fit inside your case, because those radiators are slightly ticker than normal.

I've been too busy waging to follow the market
Is it a good time to build a pc right now?

>>109000097
Above 95C hotspot is bad for the card's longevity (even if Nvidia says otherwise), consider power limiting the card until you fix that.
>>109000136
It's the same, go for it.
>>109000161
Depends on your use case (and mouse). I can tell 160Hz apart from 320Hz (dual mode monitor) quite easily while playing Audiosurf or Osu.

File: motion_blur_from_persistence_on_sample-and-hold-displays.png (60.8 KB)

>>109000161
It does, but you need to roughly double the refresh rate from each prior step to notice the improvement.
So at least 240Hz or greater to immediately appreciate a difference coming from 120Hz, and at 240hz you want 480+Hz plus, etc. BlurBusters Law says we need to target ~1000Hz really:
https://blurbusters.com/blur-busters-law-amazing-journey-to-future-1000hz-displays-with-blurfree-sample-and-hold/

Also with any high-refresh rate, the advantage is really something you only appreciate after being used to it and getting forced to use a lower refresh rate after to appreciate what you lost. For example if you are used to 120/144Hz, going back to a 60Hz display would be agony.

>>109000208
You missed the train last year.
Now you have to pay at least double for storage and 4 times as much for RAM.

>50 series super refresh is meant to be uncancelled and out in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027
>RDNA5 is on track for Q4 2027
I guess AMD and Nvidia are thinking the AI bubble will burst soon

>>109000208
lol no, you're like at least a solid 6 months late
Maybe if you reuse ram and storage it's not too terrible.

>>109000208
It's really bad. The caveat is that it might still be the best it's ever going to be, at least for gaming.

>>109000222
Alternatively maybe they are internally seeing catastrophic discrete sales losses, which even if a rounding number in their financials, would induce panic in investors if uttered as part of presentations during stock conferences. Also could be Mainline System Integrators/AIBs with pitch forks and freshly grinded axes at their doors demanding they do something.

>>109000222
I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
First of all we didn't get any official announcements for any of those GPUs.
Also AMD rarely launches their cards before nV. I don't see why they would not do the same this time.

>>109000345
Since when do AMD/Nvida comment on upcoming products? Why would they willing cannibalize their already nearly-unsellable consumer hardware in the current market?

>>108999928
They're not going to make any more of it because they no longer have a CaseLabs from which to steal designs and then make shitty knockoffs. They got sued over it a couple times as I recall.

The SWEfag CaseLabs 2.0 will hopefully get up and running though, because I've about run out of patience for cases being exclusively glass fishtanks with no expansion or modular capability., overall.

>>109000399
Listen, if they don't advertise it then it's either not coming or far into the future.
Both companies don't care about selling GPUs to gamers at this point.
They clearly change their decisions based on market conditions and consumers aren't buying right now. nV uses their refreshed GPUs as a way to reset the MSRP but cards are already above MSRP so there is no point.

>>109000032
Almost all the other ones are basically whitebox rebrands of the same old Asetek OEM design; it has gotten better over the years but that's the core of it - it typically comes down to fan variation and then aesthetic stuff like displays or whatever RGB

Arctic basically is a step above because they have a thicker radiator and a better cooling block than most as its a custom design, plus their fans are pretty solid too. All of this for a good price has it coming out on the top of a lot of comparisons.

>>109000208
its bad for poors and most people are priced out of certain desirable components

you can still get pretty decent pc by making compromises, ram and high end gpus being the biggest ones

if you can stick to ddr4 that saves money, if not you lose out couple hundred on ddr5 compard to year ago
high end nvidia gpus are msrp + 30-50%, but 5070 is still reasonably priced
you dont want amd gpus but those are reasonably priced due to most people not buying them
ssds cost double, but you still get 2tb nvmes for 250€ so compared to ddr5 its nothing big

>>109000606
If I had to guess its labor and people are so desperate for these cards cause of high demand that corporations or rich people are just willing to pay that amount to get them.

>>109000606
Most likely black market smuggling of cpus and gpus since America banned a good 1/3rd of the world from having them because they were being naughty. There's a whole industry in smuggling them now since AI became a thing the military became interested in.

>>108997879
>>108997910
VRAM frequency downclock to 60% is excessive, it will probably save the card than 5W of total power draw going from 90 or 80%.
The bigger thermal and power efficiency gains will come from undervolting + OCing the GPU, like setting the GPU to run at 2800MHz @ 900mV if that's stable.

Why would they not make something they have repeatedly shown and CES and Computex this year?

>>109000322
12 GB 5060 Super and 18 GB 5070 Super would be pretty sweet. Both cards could be amazing value if they come out near the non-Super MSRPs, considering MFG and new DLSS versions. The 5060 Super will be basically a 720p upscaling card and the 5070 Super will be basically a 1080p upscaling card for raster and light RT. None of the RTX 50 series cards are really future proof if you want cutting edge tech like neural rendering. It'll be interesting to see how much more expensive DLSS RR 4.5 is. Might make 4K DLSS Ultra Performance PT viable on a 5070 Ti

>>109000208
Absolutely not a good time, but if you don't mind a $500 premium because you really need something then as always, it's not worth waiting. If you have something that meets most of your needs and isn't an annoyance to use, then obviously wait for new GPUs, either RTX 50 Supers or better yet RTX 60 in like two years. I doubt two years from now will be a great time to build either, but it'll be better than now. Not worth waiting for the next five or six for that optimum time to buy if you disposable income

>>109000161
Yes and with MFG you can easily max out a 240 Hz monitor even in single player games

This but unironically

>>108998767
9070 XT is worse though

>>108997568
Not worth for gaming. 5070 is better in practical scenarios

>>108997415
You generally combine FG with DLSS. 4K DLSS Performance looks massive better than 1080p DLAA, so if you're getting only 30 FPS at 1080p currently then it's probably time for a new card.

>>109000783

DLSS alone makes Radeon irrelevant

Nvidia drivers are dogshit on Windows and Linux today

>Nvidia cards suffer noticeably under CachyOS and lose a significant amount of performance. We also observed some strange behaviour between the RTX 4080 Super and an additionally tested RTX 4080. In UHD and WQHD, the supposedly weaker model achieved higher frame rates than its bigger sibling. The latter also showed a gradual reduction in frame rate over time in UHD after each new save-game load. Since this was not observed at lower resolutions, we suspect an issue with memory handling. We cannot provide more detail. Based on experience, Nvidia cards and their drivers remain unpredictable.

It's comparable to the upscaling that we had over 2/3, it'll be half a decade before maybe they push out something that's still worse but getting close to first gen transformer (Remember there's a second version that's even better now lol)

>>109000911

On nvidia
Theres consistent driver optimizations for big games pre-release.
Their gpus have massively larger userbase and game publishers prioritize supporting their key features, dlss, frame gen, reflex.
Cuda is a key feature for productivity apps, many apps only support cuda gpus and wont work on other brands gpus.
Nvidia invests all key graphic improvements, and others follow on several year lag. Nvidia produces highest end gpus so you'll see all the youtubers using best nvidia gpus and talk about the high end experience which leaves non-high end nvidia owners yearning to be part of the cool kids club.
Nvidia traditionally was the best for streaming, but apparently with 90xx gpus amd somewhat catched up.
Nvidia has earliest and most investment in AI stuff, so they have software features utilizing that. Theres video super resolution, video sdr-hdr capability that works on youtube and mpc hc. Nvidia app has game filters that can add stuff like sdr-hdr, record gameplay footage, the usual.
They tend to be relatively good on watt per frame.
Nvidia invented Ray tracing for games so their cards have always been best at it, tho 90xx closed the gap.
For path tracing nvidia can be the only option as their cards perform much better than even 90xx cards and some games only support nvidia. Nvidias ray reconstruction is better than alternatives.
Nvidias transformer model upscalers are insanely powerful and can produce a clean image from very low base res.
Multi frame gen has even frame pacing, can produce up to 6x frames and target a specific fps.

amd:
good for raster perf per dollar?
They got some things rigth with 90xx release that used to be terrible, like upscaling with ml techniques, decent ray tracing.
bad at everything else? I only ever owned an amd igpu.
Their ray regeneration is a bit underbaked.
Their features are hardly supported because publishers prioritize other things.

>>109001016
yes and now
if you play cs2 or dota2 you want 240fps
if you play god of war 60 is good but if you have money to burn you can try to get 120

I was playing vidya and suddenly my system restarted after briefly showing me a black screen on my main monitor with an error message saying the PC needs to restart and a code but it flashed too fast for me to take a note of

when it rebooted an AMD driver error report form popped up asking me to send feedback to AMD and saying there was a driver issue, not the usual "settings returned to default after power outage" pop up (though that popped up as well)
there's volmgr 162 and TPM-WMI 1040, in the event log, TPM seems to have been happening from early February though and it says something critical failed but idk what it's referring to and maybe that's not even the problem
minidump file mentions amdkmdag a lot so I guess this is an AMD driver issue? I have recently added a 3rd monitor to my setup and I'm running a light undervolt...

sorry I know this isn't tech support but I really don't know where else to ask to get a reply and I'm kinda nervous, does it look like something someone here has experienced?

>>109001491
Then turn of XMP/Expo and test.

Not sure what has gotten into everyone these days but overclocking (any components) introduces instability that even thorough stress testing won't necessarily unveil.

Hey anons, I’m currently using a 5500 and 4070 combo. I’m looking to upgrade, is a 5500x3d or a 5700x better for gaming? I plan on upgrading to 1440p quite soon. Thanks

>>109001507
but RAM won't run at its native spec without an xmp profile? I'm not actually overclocking it it just runs as it's supposed to

It's not about the RAM, it's about the IMC.

>>109001429

>>109001528
5500X3D is better for gaming than 5700X for sure. There are pleanty of benchmarks online so I don't know why you simply don't ask your search engine. I'm not sure for how long are you going to keep that system and how much are you willing to spend on that upgrade.
5800X3D will get re-released soon but it will be expensive as fuck for what it is. $350+ tip.

They all have patch notes regarding this issue

>>109001861
In general if you aren't playing very specific games where CPU gets hammered there is maybe 10-15% difference between 5500X3D and 5800X3D.
Games don't scale past 6c/12t that much sadly.

I have a PCIe Gen 5 mobo and PCIe Gen 5 5060 ti but even if I try to force it in BIOS it runs at PCIE 3.0
This is noticeably hurting my performance since 5060 ti doesn't have the full 16x pcie lanes so I'm running at 8x PCIe 3.0 which is raping my cards bandwidth.
How do I fix this?

If you aren't running out of vram the performance will stay mostly the same between gen 3 and 5.
But nV GPUs often downgrade PCI-E speed at idle.
Run some benchmark in a window and check the PCI-E gen then.

>>109001828
Disabling MPO in the registry fixed the cursor issue and the occasional hiccups or slowdowns I had and used to have. Like if I left the game I'm playing (ffxiv) on the main screen and went to do something on another, the game would stop completely and nothing would update on the screen until i tabbed back in. Now that works again and I'm not seeing any weird slowdowns.
Not sure if that was the exact issue and if it won't crash again with a black screen, but clearly something about MPO must have been fucking with the driver, so disabling it can only be a good thing.

Are the timings okay on the RAM?

>>109002271
Mostly doesn't matter because you are still not going to tweak them manually. You will also not be able to OC that RAM without K SKU CPU because you can't change the voltage for the memory controller. But I don't recommend RAM OC unless you have autism and a lot of time.

>>109002312
I just will do an XMP I don't care about OCing further than that, I was worried that my RAM was slow on the timings, I got the kit in like 2020

14400/14400F has unlocked SA voltage

>>109002371
But can you raise it above 0.9V or whatever the limit was?

>>109002413
yes

Cool TIL.

>>109002223
So it just sounds like multicore performance is probably the most important thing. You will be happy with the 9950x3d or the 270k+ for that matter, and the 9950x3d is better for gaming so I would get that then.

>>109001749
I would not pay for a monitor with dead pixels. Once you see that shit, you cannot unsee it.

>>109001931
The 14600K if possible
The 14400 is just a refresh of older tech

>>109002737
Probably not since it costs like 300 euros here, while the 14400 is under 200, will see though in the future

>>108998875
no, you need a 9950x3d2.

>>109001798
>am I retarded if I buy a 5500x3d now for 175€ ?
Not really, I got one recently for around the same price. It's not bad given the current climate and I intend to sell my old CPU. The 5800X3D could get scalped or cost more than people are expecting anyway since it's an AE.

What SSD should I buy if I want to let every game ever made always installed?

>>109003599
You actually bring up a very good question for me that I'm sure is dumb for you guys since I'm not a hardware tech person. Why does Logical increments recommend HDDs still? Is there an advantage to having both? I don't see why having a slower type of storage could be beneficial to you.

>>109003614
because not everything needs fast storage. A video file gets no benefit (for playback) from running at 600gb/s instead of 6gb/s.

Complete Retard here. I get an infinite Orange RAM error light on this motherboard. Tried 1 RAM stick in A2, Tried the other one, tried both in A2 & B2. Tried leaving to train for 30 minutes, did a bios update with USB, same issue every time. It never posts. Re-seated the CPU & cooler too. Nothing. Looking at their own comparability list I don't see the G.Skill F5-6000J3040G32GX2-FX5 on there.....am I fucked? I'm assuming the Motherboard is just flat out incompatible, but it's similar enough where I don't see WHY it wouldn't work. Am I missing something here? I'd try another ram stick from another build but I only have a DDR4 build from 2020 on me.

>>109003669
It should work unless something is very wrong like your motherboard having a bent pin

>>109003723
The board (X870E-A) has my RAM kit missing from both the ASUS official QVL and G.Skill’s QVL for that specific model so...I mean what is even the difference between the A. & the E.? Unless they process ram different isn't it the same damn board?

have no idea what you niggas are doing with atx boards nowadays

I've not upgraded my PC in like a decade. Is there anything here I can salvage or should I just do a new build and turn my old PC into a media center or something?, (other than the case HAF X for life)

Oh so for video editing, photo editing, drawing and stuff like that huh? I also read somewhere that apparently HDDs are way more economical and can store more than SDDs can gig to the dollar.

>>109003599
No particular brand or model but as many as you can install in your mobo.
If money is irrelevant you can just buy all in 8TB capacity.
If you still need more storage you can buy PCIe cards wit more M.2 slots.

~100 installed games fill one 4TB SSD

Is it possible to use a server rack as a regular pc case? I found out that apparently you can get some pretty decent dual server racks and I'm wondering if I can just use that instead of a case or will I have problems?

Is there anything inherently wrong with my cable "management"? I don't feel any resistance or squishing when closing the side panel and my temps are all perfectly fine

Advice on how to prevent dust from getting into a computer in a dusty room?
And if you could please not tell me to "clean it once a week" or "something something fan positive pressure" I'm already doing both of that, I'm just trying to see if there is anything more I could be doing.

>>109003897
For editing, no, you want that as fast as possible. For just storing and watching from, absolutely. And yes, spinners are a lot more economical. You can get a 28tb for the same price as a 4tb ssd.

>>109004011
Iunno, editing can be pretty heavy stuff, espeically when you are bringing in and referencing elements and effects, maybe its good as "cold storage" for the uncompressed video project when you are done and exported.

>>109003748
The last few letter at the end denotes the ram kits heatsink design
Ram with 6000 cl30-40-40 speed/timings can only be hynix a-die or hynix m-die which are both well supported on all am5 motherboards
If it has problem booting you could try flashing the latest bios onto the board with bios flashback

>>109003972
Buy a case with good dust filtering in the first place.
If your case doesn't have this there is nothing you can do except trying to catch as much dust elsewhere in your room. Have the air filtered by AC or by a dehumidifier.
Have carpets that collect dust and vaccum clean them often.

>>109004116
Can I add filtering or would that break the fans? Is there a filter + fan set I can buy to apply to my case? I actually don't know if my computer has filtering or not.

Is this true?
I have my 9850X3D with an undervolted curve of like 25 or 30 right now. But would it be better to just put it in eco mode?

>>109004183
you could just try it dude.

>pay extra for factory overclocked 9800x3d for slight extra perfomance

Retardation

>>109004206
>pay extra
I only paid $380 for it because it was a Newegg Weekend Doorbuster Deal.

I got is solely because it was cheaper than other similar options.

>turn bios setting on killing the overclock and slight extra pefromance
Does the undervolt do that, too?
