    I bought a case with bad air flow because it was the only case that met my requirements in my sub $50 case budget. Thanks to some power tools and a complete disregard for my case's resale value, it now has amazing airflow.

    I DO NOT regret going Intel ARC A750. It gets me very high frame rates in everything I play ( Fortnite, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Warthunder and many other titles )... I don't have ANY issues with it on any title I've played! It's half the price of the 4060 and often competes on a 1:1 FPS against it ( my son runs a 4060 beside me so I know this first hand!! )

      Adding my brick to this, as someone who uses a 750 daily. (The one i got seems to be "castrated" but i bought it used so there might be a lot wrong with it).
      The performance is pretty good, maybe not the best in competetive games but it's more than enough for smooth 1080p 60fps on high/ultra settings in rpgs, indie games etc.
      But most important: for a year of owning, i got 1 bluescreen. And i'm not exacly sure if it's arc's fault either. No driver problemes ever.
      If you are curious, go for it. It's cheap but very well rounded.
      I build a pc with A770 twice, once with A580 and about 5 times now with A750. None of my customers had any problems yet, and i don't think they will.
      (and it's probably the most aesthetically pleasing gpu in it's price range, be it Limited Edition, Gunnir Photon, Sparkle Titan or Acer Predator)

    I think youre wrong about buying a 360mm AIO. Might be overkill but theres no difference in price really, I bought a scythe fuma 3 for $50, but just replaced it with a thermalright frozen prism 360 for $62 and now I can overclock my cpu safely for $12 more. No brainer imo and if the cooler last for years it will be futureproof.

    • @45eno
      @45eno 2 місяці тому +1

      Gen3,Gen4 or Gen5 drives in most every way are no better in game loading than a quality old 2.5” SSD. There is only a few games that harness their speed.
      Main thing to avoid is the cheaper no dram versions as they drop way off in performance anytime moving game folders around. I finally got rid of my slowest Crucial P2 1tb about a week ago for $50. I had an extra SN750 1tb I cloned onto.
      I have 21 NVMe drives installed on all my builds and sadly their performance never gets used during load times. They all run like regular SATA SSD’s. Now when I move game folders from one to the other then that is fast and I regularly see 2000-4000mb read/write. Also fast when the game software like Steam has to check the freshly moved over game folder it reads at NVMe speeds.
      But loading a game they run at sata ssd speeds almost always.

    Also Thermalright: 33-37$ Same as before efficient on 170W (Can keep up to 250W, but higher cooler recommanded)

  • @DLexEdition
    @DLexEdition 2 місяці тому +2

    Sometimes the problem is your core clock rate (what people call speed) are using way more voltage than advertised, couple that with the amount of current the unit uses, that increases the wattage seen at the active junctions (transistor junctions). Try intelligently underclocking the cores while overclocking. Each CPU has certain sweet spots that allow you to go up quite high and still be stable while reducing the amount of power that is consumed and comes off as a waste product as heat.
    This can be done on GPU cards as well.
    Also, having a not so well regulated PSU can cause temperatures to spike on your motherboard chipset and components plugged into your PCIe slots, too. Not all PSUs are equal in that area.

    @rangersmith4652 4 місяці тому +4

    Ryzen 7900 and 7950 CPUs might see a significant price drop when the Zen5 CPUs are released. But they might not. The advice to wait and see is sound. My plan is to build either a new AM5 video/audio production PC or a new primary gaming PC once we see where Zen4 prices go. Which one I build, and around which CPU, is a tough decision since I already have a 13700K (with a 280mm AIO) system that is very good for either use case. My sense is that the 7950X will become a price-to-performance bargain if the Ryzen 9 9xxx chips prove to be 15% or more faster.
    There's no reason for 99% of us to buy a Gen 5 NVMe drive. A storage drive that needs active cooling to function properly is just plain silly.

    On the topic of motherboards. I suggest going into pc part picker, adding your gpu, drives, a wifi adapter, and ethernet adapter to your build as well as a sound card if you think you would ever consider one, then choosing the cheapest wifi 6E equipped motherboard that is compatible with all your hardware. This will allow you to upgrade your build to utilize faster internet when it's made available to you. Of course you should removed either ethernet adapters or wifi adapters if you don't see yourself ever using one. If you're not familiar with internet speeds, they tend to improve even faster than processors at the moments. In just a few years your internet speed can double and you can end up unable to fully utilize a high bandwidth package (which are often heavily discounted to be one of the most affordable and functional packages for multiuser households).

    TLDR: Since my new R5 7600x doesn't come with a heatsink I'd rather spend the extra $40 on an AIO since it runs cooler, is easier to keep clean, and allows me to upgrade to a R7 without worrying about upgrading the cooler. If I knew for certain I wouldn't get a higher end CPU, or I had a very tight budget, then I agree to save your money.
    FULL: In my mind, I'd rather buy a 240 or 360 mm AIO for $50-80 and know my CPU will stay cool and last me for longer, than spend $0-30 less for an air cooler that is more tedious to clean, and potentially lead to higher temps and a need to replace the CPU faster. I'm in the process of building a new PC and replacing my ryzen 5 3600 with a 7600x. I'm definitely buying an AIO since they're fairly cheap, look better, work more efficiently, and the CPU doesn't include a heatsink. Then if I decide I want to get a ryzen 7 9000 series CPU, I won't need to buy a better cooler. However, I suppose a person who has no need or desire to upgrade, or is on an extremely tight budget would be better off getting a $20 air cooler.

    10:37 This is where the Noctua nh-d15 can be deceptive.
    I have an older 1st gen nh-d15 from 2016. Yes, it was expensive. But I have been moving it between computers for almost 10 years now. The only moving parts are the fans, which I've upgraded as the fan tech has improved. Assuming I don't bang the heatsink around around, it should still be usable when I die.
    I suspect that eventually I'll upgrade to something that the nh-d15 won't fit on, but that hasn't happened yet. When it does, I'll just turn one of my older computers into a home server or entertainment center.
    HOWEVER, I'm still running 12th gen Intel. From what I've heard, it would be idiotic to try and run 13th and 14th gen Intel processors on air cooling.
    (Also, you don't have to use old heatsinks inside your pc. I got one of those cheap hdmi to usb video coverters and it was overheating. So, I took an older Noctua heatsink and strapped the dongle to it. No more overheating problems.)

    You are more than likely right about the 4060TI, that being said I bought a 4060TI (16 GB version) and I love it :) ... then again my old PC was an old timer (i7 7700k, GTX 960 4GB, 32 GB DDR3 ram and a HDD for storage). I now run an i7 13700k, RTX 4060TI, 64GB of DDR5 ram (might be overkill but meh) and a samsung 990 pro SSD. Including assembly, a 27" display, mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse, my new setup cost me around 2K Euro and I think that is pretty acceptable, even if I could have gotten 'more bang for my buck', I went from barely running newer games to running them all at high settings again.
    When you buy a higher end intel processor though, do indeed make sure you have sufficient cooling. As I was not used at having to have decent cooling, I first bought a mid-range tower cooler and it just couldn't keep my system cool. I in fact installed an AIO today and temps went down drastically (about 60 degrees Celsius under heavy load, where before it went up to 100 degrees and then started thermal throttling). So where I stand is, I am set for the next few years.
    Final remark about intel being at end of 1700 slot, it is of course something to keep in mind BUT it is isn't that dramatic either. When you buy a new PC chances are you are going to keep it for around 5 years or so. (Well at least that is what I do. I guess this does not apply to everyone).
    Anyway just my few cents! :)

    CPU-wise, overwhelming majority of gamers doesn't need anything more expensive than 7500F and that will most likely continue being the case even after 9000 series release. It's £120 CPU that performs on par with 5800X3D in overwhelming majority of games. Buying into AM4 platform now doesn't make slightest financial sense unless you already own all pieces of the puzzle and are rocking someting like Ryzen 2600X. As owner of 7700X, 7950X3D and now 7500F courtesy of AliExpress, the last one is more than adequate for each and every gaming needs if you're targeting 1440p+ resolutions under 360fps...
    As for PSUs, 2nd hand unit that holds golden badge on PSU Tierlist will always be a better choice than brand new cheap or noname PSU. Case in point Thermaltake GF1 850W goes for around £40 these days and is amongst the golden standard for ATX 2.4 PSUs and will outlive your current and the next build after that anyway... assuming 850W is enough to power it 😅

    I don’t really see any price conscious upgrade for me worth doing other than going to lga 1700 as of right now because it’s the only way I can reuse my 32gb of ddr4 and my CPU cooler. So I’m saving a ton of money on just those things not having to be purchased again. Sure, I’ll have to switch over at some point in the future again, but that tends to be the case anyway when talking about doing cpu upgrades. Most people aren’t buying a new cpu every year or two years. I’ve had my current i7 7700k for 5 years. It has served me well, it’s at the end of its life to me, so now I have to switch motherboard. But chips like the i5 13600k came out literally a year ago, they’re still brand new for most people, and they’re very cheap to find on eBay, often going sub $200. It’s really a no brainer to me. Like yeah I could wait and buy a new chip with a socket that’ll be in service for years to come, but firstly I don’t know if that socket will ACTUALLY be in service for years to come and by then it wouldn’t be worth it to upgrade to that last generation of cpus on that socket if we used the same logic. And I’d be spending double or triple the amount as well. So yeah I’m gonna get myself a 13600k

      @@G0A7 you don't just get access to the internet magically with only a wifi dongle. Do your research. Your ISP gives you internet to your router which then sends the wireless signal to your wifi dongle. You can choose to use wifi or an ethernet cable for your internet. Both will work but ethernet is a little bit faster & a more stable connection.

    Is there a 5600mhz ram at or under cl30? Is it capacity dependent?

    mostly agree but the gen4 nvme is pointless, nvme pci3 is already super fast and in most cases you really wont see a difference, go for a higher storage nvme pcie3 for the same price

    Would a RX 7700 xt paired with AMD Ryzen 5 7600x be a decent for 1080p gaming?

      No, it would be STELLAR for 1080p and decent 1440p in most cases too.

    Idk only the people who have never used one says its bad. Maybe its just my config but i was playing sons of the forest with my friend who has a 4070. I have a 4060 ti, both of us got about 120 fps at 1080p ultra settings so. Both get about the same performance with the 4060 ti being about 150 bucks less
