The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

If there's one thing that makes my head ache is when people just bundle all their excess cable, stick a cable tie round it and then shove it in the back of the case "because nobody can see it"

That's like saying "I don't wash my c**k because I don't have a girlfriend"

Proper shitsniffers

You should see my cable "compartment".

I've just ordered a new case. What's the chances I'll have everything swapped over from current case to new case, new Windows install done all before you've cracked open a box?

I've just ordered a new case. What's the chances I'll have everything swapped over from current case to new case, new Windows install done all before you've cracked open a box?

Which one have you gone for?

 

[N0ddie]

Phanteks P600S in White. Bigger than I'd hoped to go but the 330mm FTW3 card is just so big.

 

[Daz...]

Nice, it's a bit of beast compared to mine but with a card that big you need the space!

Built in fan hubs are a great addition to cases too.

 

[N0ddie]

The increase in sound deadening is another plus. My current case has zero sound deadening so therefore I'm surprised you guys don't hear the fans through my mic when playing Warzone.

Perfect opportunity to do a fresh Windows install also.

 

[Daz...]

I think I can hear mine sometimes then realise it's the heating 😂

I've set the top exhaust fan to run at 20% and it's still the loudest one in it, I need to swap it out for one of my noctua ones.

Does anyone think i have any chance at all of getting hold of a Ryzen 7 5800x tomorrow? also which B550 mother board would be best to go for? or an alternative? last and not lease will these fit in a Corsair 220T Mid-Tower Gaming Case w/ Tempered Glass Side Panels (OEM – No Fans) (Black Colour ) ?

 

[Ray Gin]

I had intended to build it today but my usb stick with windows on hasn’t been delivered. b*****d. Don’t really want to build it and just have it sitting there, I’d rather do the whole lot in one go.

 

[Daz...]

By the time you've built it the usb stick will be there.

Impressive. You've clearly missed out the other four keyboards that are necessary to map keys to as well, from that picture.

Correction. By the time he builds it Windows 11 will be out.

He has a mid size case so size and space shouldnt be an issue, as long it supports 5800x cpu, he runs a 2060 super card, and the monitor via dvi, its always got Lan as well, so wifi not really an issue, been looking at this :-

That's basically the B550 version of my B450. No complaints here, it's a good board.

Just depends whether the built in Wi-Fi is desirable or not. If not , you can't go wrong with the gigabyte board.

I’ve got the B550 carbon board. No idea what it’s like because it’s still sealed in the box, lol.

Good lord. £600 on a mobo.

Talk to me about NVMe - i've got a WD Blue 500gb system drive but i made the mistake of installing a game on it and now I cant go back to HDD speeds.
Anyone recommend a decent 1tb one? Is it worth getting pcie gen 4?

It's the cpu and motherboard, would never pay 600 just for a mobo!

New case should arrive tomorrow so in preparation I've given the PC the old Windows fresh install. Dunno if its a Friday evening job or a Saturday job to swap everything over. Probably Saturday eh?

I swapped mine over during the day so I could use it in the evening.

True. If I want Warzone action tomorrow night I will have to make it Saturday.
