The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

[Krarl]

After telling myself I didnt need to upgrade anything on my PC...

I found a Ryzen 7 3700x for £200 and couldn't say no😂 My Ryzen 5 2600 will be for sale soon if anyone fancies it before it gets listed

Why is your mouse map hanging over the desk edge?

 

[Krarl]

So your wrists don't hurt when resting them. Wrist rests are way too thick

Try it, you won't ever go back

 

[ChrisR]

First thing I did with the RGB stuff in my mobo when I first booted the machine up was to switch it all off

Think of all those lost frames though?

 

[Krarl]

My pc has no RGB, these are just lights on the back of my desk😂

 

[Daz...]

I had a play with the built in RGB that my case has. I've finally settled on leaving it like this.

Tidy and not over the top.

[Pistachio]

Where does your power supply live?

 

[Rojer]

Round the back, you can fit two if you wanted.

 

[Pistachio]

Behind the MB ?

 

[Rojer]

Yer that's it.

 

[N0ddie]

Doing yet another fresh windows install to try and solve my crashing issues

 

[Krarl]

Looking to upgrade my 32GB 2666MHz to 32GB 3600MHz

Prices are around £135-150. What do people use? I'm not arsed about RGB because I'm not a toe sucking bathwater drinker

If you want to join bath water gang then I'm using some Corsair Vengeance 3600Mhz. If you don't fancy a drink, the Team Group stuff on Overclockers would of been my choice.

I have Vengeance at the minute but it's non RGB. Been looking at getting these

 

[SharkyUK]

G.Skill Trident-Z have always done me well. And Dominator Platinum. [emoji106]

 

[Ph1 Tom]

You'll want 3600 with CL14 otherwise there's nothing gained over 3200 CL14 with 3600 CL16

 

[Pistachio]

The ram pudding linked are CL18 aren't they?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Ahh in that case he might be better off with 4x8gb of 3200 CL16. Just over £100 if you find it on offer.

 

[Steven103]

Ram Latency Calculator

notkyon.moe

Just incase anyone’s curious.

 

[Krarl]

Here's the best one

4x8GB 3200MHz CAS16 - £195
2x8GB 3200MHz CAS16 - £80

Like f**k the 4 sticks are going to be silicon matched, it'll be 2 sets of 2x8 ffs 😂

And tbh I checked my board last night and it's only suited to 3200 + OC. I'll run the 2666 with the 3700x and then probably get an X570 and some new memory in the January sales... and then maybe some new fans... and maybe another M.2 NVMe (one that doesn't die within a f**king week)

 

[-KarL-]

Ahhh i didn't know this 😂 I bought 3600 C18 earlier this year as they were cheap.

I had to go into the motherboard bios and change a setting for it to run at 3600 though. I doubt i would notice the difference as I'm new to pc gaming.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I'd buy 4 if these

[Krarl]

Might just OC my current sticks for the time being. Should be able to push the clock of them to 3200 and probably drop the CL a few hits

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Bought a base for one of the seats I had in my Megane. Made some brackets, job done.

 

[Krarl]

Having no arms would really grate on me😂

I'm the opposite, hate arms on desk chairs as I find they always get in the way. Taken them off before now when they aren't part of the frame 🤣

 

[N0ddie]

@Moonshot made me do it :

New keyboard (Again).

 

[Pistachio]

That keyboard looks nice!

I have to support my massive weighty fat b*****d arms😂

Keys look nice and low profile. That's my only complaint with my Corsair K63, they keys are chunky.

 

[Krarl]

3700X is here, idle temps 30°C with a Cryorig H7

Cinebenched it and it scored 12.5k and sat just a hair below 60°C. Still gonna replace my RAM for something quicker though. January sales have been poor yet again!

 

[Pistachio]

Been having a nightmare the last few days with audio issues (crackling and popping when sound was played). First I thought it was a game issue. Then I noticed it watching youtube. Started testing all my speaker cables, tried headphones. Opened up the PC to check connections since I've replaced the psu and gpu recently. Thought maybe the motherboard might be on its way out. Maybe a dodgy psu?

Then I remembered I overclocked the ram to 3200 when I was last in the bios. The MB is rated to 3466, the ram is 3200, so it shouldn't be an issue. Put it back to 2133 and the audio seems fine now. That is the highest the MB supports without overclocking.

Quick google and my asus MB seems to be the issue. Putting the voltage too high when overclocking? So I guess I'll just leave it at 2133

2133?

Standard DDR4 should run at 2666 without any issue as that's the usual base clock😂 Have you updated drivers and BIOS?

 

[Pistachio]

2133 is the highest the MB specs say it can run. Anything higher is classed as overclocked. So I'm just leaving it at that rather than running in to issues. Everything is up to date. It's just an old MB

Anyone after a cheap Mac with lots of storage?

Just had this built for my 10yr old.

Gtx960 graphics card with 16gb ram so nothing at all compared to you lot.

I really don’t know much about pc’s and setups but he loves it.
