I'm looking to buy a pc from some friends , they both built it and have really great parts (almost exactly)

the only difference is one of them has a better motherboard but a i7-6th gen processor

the other has i7-9th gen processor but an average mother board

they're both offering me the same price , and i'm so tense when comes to computers so idk which to buy

i use lots of architecture and graphic design programs , such as auto cad , 3d max , illustrator , priemere pro .. etc

Fresh build about 2 weeks. Recently changed cpu cooler from stock. Pc was running fine for about 12 hrs I left and came back to a black screen but pc still powered. Figured it was sleeping so I mashed keys but nothing came on. Left it off for the night came back powered it on and no post.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Cooler: thermaltake ux100 GPU: MSI GeForce Rtx 2060 Mother: msi b450 gaming plus max Power: 600w 80+g thermaltake Ram: t force 3600mhz 8x2gb rgb Fans: I'm not sure (3x) rgb fans from cyber power

Recently I stripped everything and reinstalled including the cpu cooler with fresh paste. I've removed cmos battery and reinstalled. (Have not flashed bios with usb) I've tried multiple monitors and hdmi cables

I honestly believe I fried my cpu because I heard this cpu fan is suppose to be very loud but I don't think it has been running at full speed. And the computer does not power my keyboard through usb and I had this problem with another computer when I forgot to connect the 8pin header.

GamersNexus thoughts about the Ryzen 5 3600 vs Ryzen 7 3700x vs Ryzen 7 3800x vs Ryzen 9 3900x. What do you think?

Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:19 PM PDT

Was having some last moment doubts about the 3700x that I was gonna buy (was thinking of upgrading to the 3900x), and looked again at the whole lineup. What I found out is very interesting...

Every single processor in the Ryzen 3000 series uses the exact same physical hardware (chip design). They are all cut out from the exact same "AMD Zen2" CPU core chip wafer in the factory. They just bin (sort) the Zen2 cores differently in the factory based on their factory overclock potential, and then assign how many cores are gonna go inside each CPU, and how much cache they'll put inside the CPU, etc. Sure, this isn't surprising to anyone. Intel does the same. But it's still good to be reminded of this sometimes.

So basically, they are all the same, just that the "easiest overclockers" got factory-sorted into the higher-priced CPUs, and got a higher overclock by default. But, as GamersNexus points out: The binning doesn't *really* matter. The entire Ryzen 3000 series all overclock "about the same" (about as well as each other). He mentions in several videos that every Ryzen 3000 series overclocks to exactly 4.3 GHz at all-core full load. Literally all of them no matter which one it is! Since they are all the same chip and because the Zen2 architecture is remarkably consistent in quality of all chips.

3600 https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2586 (6 cores, 65 watts) https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-3600
3700x https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2588 (more L1/L2 cache than 3600, same L3 cache, slightly factory-overclocked 3600, 8 cores, 65 watts; but the extra cache is just to accomodate the two extra cores, so it's no real per-core performance benefits) https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-3700x
3800x https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2598 (slightly factory-overclocked 3700x, same cache, 8 cores, 105 watts (yikes)) https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-3800x
3900x https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2587 (top of the line enthusiast processor, doubled cache size, 12 cores, 105 watts) https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-3900x

Here's the thing... I was watching Gamers Nexus (easily the most advanced, nerdy, in-depth, most amazing tech reviewer out there), and he was showing several things in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAGQwWDyURI

This is what he very clearly and elegantly demonstrated:

All tests were done with both stock and several variants of overclocking for every CPU.
3800x does not need to exist at all. It's a 3700x with a slight +100MHz-ish extra factory overclock, but when you overclock them both manually their performance match up perfectly. It's literally the exact same CPU for a slightly higher price.
3600 overclocked gives "basically" the exact same game framerates (including "1% low FPS") as the 3700x, 3800x and 3900x (also all overclocked). There's almost no difference whatsoever in games.
The only ones worth considering are 3600, 3700x and 3900x.
The 3600 is for all types of gaming and pretty much all general desktop use. Photo editing, video editing with GPU-accelerated rendering, etc. Including music producers who can run massive 200/300-plugin projects on this with absolutely zero issue at all (he didn't mention that, but I'm a producer and looking at the geekbench scores compared to my existing setup, I can tell you that the 3600 is a total beast for music producers; audio plugins are nowhere near as heavy as other kinds of creative computer tasks such as video editing).
The 3700x is for people who often do very CPU-heavy tasks that apply a 100% load to all cores, and want to save time while doing those tasks. For example: Video rendering with software-effects. Blender 3D rendering. Multiple virtual machines at the same time. To a certain extent it's also decent for music producers who just want those two extra cores (8 instead of 6 cores) for whatever reason, but you really don't need it (you would be hard-pressed to ever max out a 3600 for music production). The bottom line is... the 3700x is the best value "heavy multicore" processor. But few people will use it to its actual potential. Regular desktop users can shave off a few seconds on certain heavy things like unzipping etc (compared to a Ryzen 3600), or maybe even save a minute in a 14-minute heavy CPU task, but overall, those "heavy CPU" performance gains simply aren't going to be even noticed by regular people. Especially not by gamers. And how often do you unzip files anyway? And can you wait a few seconds extra or maybe a minute extra during a 15 minute unzipping? Then a 3600 is all you need. You need to be heavily CPU-bound to need the 3700x CPU at all. He does not recommend buying it unless you do one of the kinds of tasks that I just described.
The 3900x is "the beast". 12 cores. Totally overkill for gaming (yet again, its FPS results are almost the same as a 3600). This is for the market of people who know WHY they want 12 cores. It's for people who do video production with heavy accelerated effects. It's for content producers/editing machines that need to crank out tons of videos very rapidly for big YouTube channels. It's for people who run insane amounts of RAM (64 GB, 96 GB, or 128 GB) and tons of virtual machines all at once. It's for people who render 3D movies/photos for a living. It's for... the biggest of the biggest power users. For everyone else it's basically a totally "meh, so what, it let me unzip the zip file unnoticeably faster compared to my 3600... oh and look, the game framerates are like 2-5 FPS higher than my 3600 which is already in the 160 FPS range for [insert example game here]".

Something else to keep in mind is that the 3900x has a 105 watt power draw. That's almost twice of what all the other CPUs on the list use. So you need a much heavier CPU cooler because every watt generates CPU heat. And you need a beefier power supply. And you use more electricity. It's just absolutely mental to put a 3900x in a general gaming machine (no offense to anyone who did that). It's a workstation/content production CPU and almost nobody needs it.

I know that many gamers pick the 3700x by default since it is still known as a good mid-range CPU for a valuable price with 8 cores, etc. And that's fine. But it *is* a bit overkill. The 3600 overclocked is basically identical to the 3700x overclocked, in games, as mentioned.

To make matters even more interesting...

A Ryzen 3700x + a RTX 2070 Super costs the same as a Ryzen 3600 + a RTX 2080 Super. This will give a lot more FPS increase than the CPU would. There may be a very slight extra cost, but they are roughly the same price, here in Sweden (I compare prices of the cards using only the quality brands of RTX graphics cards). Roughly the same can be expected elsewhere in the world too. (Except in regions with really infamously messed up prices, such as Australia, of course... Ay mates, I can't imagine how rough it is there...)
Or use the saved money by getting a Ryzen 3600 + a RTX 2070 Super and spend it on upgrading another component such as PSU, case, RAM, SSD quality, etc.
Then of course we shouldn't forget that AMD is releasing the RDNA 2 (aka "Navi 2X", and formerly known as "Big Navi") desktop graphics cards in late 2020, the same graphics chips that power the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5. But they will probably rival a 2080 Super in price, and heck if you have a 2080 Super today, you can sell it (to nVidia lovers) on the Navi launch day and still make a good chunk of money back since it's the top of the line "pro-sumer" (non-T.I.) card.
Another very big consideration is the fact that 2020 is the final year of AMD's AM4 socket. In late 2020 they will release the Ryzen 4000 CPUs that will use an enhanced process and most likely give 20% increased performance-per-watt (same as their new Ryzen 4000 mobile CPUs). It's very likely that the entry-level Ryzen 4000 processor will beat most of the Ryzen 3000 CPUs, apart from "high core count beasts" such as the 3900x. But in 2021 they're launching an entirely new socket, the AM5 with the Ryzen 5000 series, which will include things such as USB4 support and DDR5 memory. So it doesn't make sense to "max out" an AM4 right now. Not considering that Ryzen 4000 is so close, and that a total replacement AM5 socket is coming next year. (Maxing out a computer right now, such as with a 3900x 12-core, mainly makes sense for people who make a living that is directly affected by how fast their CPUs can render/output the result of the thing you're creating.)
So in summary, for a gamer today, right now, it makes most sense to get a Ryzen 3600, with the best GPU you can buy, and the best (overclockable) motherboard and RAM you can buy. Here is GamersNexus listing of the best Ryzen motherboards on the market right now, which are the ones he has found gives the best overclock stability, etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGY2mqTn2rc And here are his guides for overclocking the 3600: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JscRwIH3OAY (undervolting) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IY_KlkQK1Q (RAM) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7NzNi1xX_4 (PBO). Oh and if someone wants his original Ryzen 3600 review, it's here with a "Strong Recommendation": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AbNeht4tAE ... And lastly, he mentions the importance of cooling to maintain high clock speeds on Ryzen in these two videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g94rNe4XSGU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL1F-qliSUk ... The fact that the 3600 has 6 cores means it will also run much colder than 3700X/3900X and therefore be much easier to cool down when overclocking too (thus giving you less fan noise). So it's a win-win.

It's been an interesting and educational day, and seeing the benchmark and overclock results from the most respectable overclocker in the tech industry (he goes into so much detail that most people can't even listen to him), just convinced me to get a Ryzen 3600 and the 2080 Super. I want to thank GamersNexus for their no-bullshit, technical approach to all of this.

Hope this summary helps someone else while we all continue to await the new Ryzen 4000, socket AM5 and AMD + nVidia graphics cards that are all on the horizon! :-)

Edit: As for 3600x, he summarizes it as "paying $50 for the letter X". It's the same as the 3600: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDV7aA6arVo summarized as "There is no difference in anything except a higher overclock out of the box, but you can just do that yourself."

How many of you have an overkill build that you don’t need?

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 02:04 PM PDT

I have a very nice gaming build and guess what? I don't even play video games. And for any heavy work, I have access to my school's high performance cluster that can do the tasks much better than a personal build. It just feels nice to build and have your own build. Am I the only one?

Platform for finding and saving monitors.

https://monitors.io

About six months ago I had a pain-point finding a new monitor, all I wanted was a clear site to easily filter and save monitors to a list for later (much like PCPartPicker). I hope this new platform solves pain points I experienced. Last post went down since we didn't have mod approval (my bad!); for those looking for the decision tree tool it's still available but was moved to here; https://app.monitors.io/monitor-finder

2600x vs 3600?

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:09 AM PDT

Pairing it with 1660ti and only going to game on it.

Iracing which is a bit more cpu intensive I believe

2600x is $129 3600 is $159 3600x is $179

$900 build

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 12:03 PM PDT

Old budget pc is slowly dying so I'm building a new one. It'll be used for programming on a vm (might decide to dual boot, but still unsure) and gaming. Main games are Path of Exile, and Black Desert Online with a few others thrown in occasionally( Modded Minecraft, Terraria, and sometimes a shooter). Using PSU from my current computer to save a little and also might throw windows on my current SSD after wiping it, but it's old so I'm not sure if it is the wisest move.

Samsung 860 Pro 2.5" SSD getting insane speeds, better than Sabrant Gen4 (PCIe 4) NVME M.2. How is that possible?

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 01:43 PM PDT

On my 860 Pro I used Samsung Magician and CrystalDiskMark and got 6408 MB/s sequential read (1MiB) and 6616 MB/s sequential write (1MiB). It stayed consistently fast as hell throughout. Looking at reviews of the Sabrant and Aorus M.2 drives online, the speeds are drastically slower. 4999 and 4456 MB/s read and write respectively for 1MiB sequential. But the the random 4KiB is only 63 MB/s read and 248 MB/s write, while my Samsung got 547 MB/s and 421 MB/s read and write.

How can this be? Not only is the 860 Pro a few years older, but its also not NVME or PCIe Gen4. Can someone please help me understand.

RX 5700XT vs. RTX 2070Super

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT

I've been looking to upgrade my computer from my super old 560ti 2gb that have served me for way too long. I did lots of research and boiled down to these two cards. Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700XT and a RTX 2070 FE. The RX5700XT is a great card but I'm aware of the driver issues and would like your insight.

Right now I have a 1080p 144hz monitor and looking to upgrade to 1440p 60hz or possibly 144hz if i can find it for under $300.

My specs are

First build!

Hey friends, I'm finally building my first PC and I had a few questions. First off, I was unsure if the GPU would fit inside the case, and am debating looking for a smaller card. I also don't know if I'll have any clearance problems with the AIO touching the GPU in the case that it did fit but was a bit tight. Lastly, should I wait until this pandemic blows over, since stock is running out at an impressive rate, or just go for it? Thank you all!!

Is a 400W 80+ Bronze PSU enough?

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 03:58 PM PDT

Hi r/buildapc! I'm thinking about building a new PC to supplement my laptop so I can play some light games and do the same tasks I currently do on my laptop.

I wanted to know if a 400W 80+ bronze power supply is enough for this build? I'm trying to save as much money as possible and I can easily grab that, a case, and an SSD from an old desktop I no longer use.

Type	Item	Price
CPU	AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor	$113.95
Motherboard	MSI B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard	$91.99
Memory	G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory	$72.49
Video Card	Gigabyte Radeon RX 570 4 GB GAMING Video Card	$119.99
	Total	$398.42

Thanks guys!

Need Help $1000 PC Build Canada

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 12:02 PM PDT

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Plan on using this for gaming, stream, and picture/video editing.

I'd like to be able to run most games at 1080p 60fps. Lately I have just been playing WoW, occasionally overwatch. I also need something that can render videos relatively quick

Budget $1000 CAD I am a little flexible

Ill be buying everything in Canada

Heres what I've considered, but it's more than I'd like to spend. What should I downgrade to try and hit my price point?

CPU- AMD Ryzen 5 3600X GPU- MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS 6G OC GDDR6 Dual Fan Motherboard- ASRock B450M PRO4 Socket AM4 Storage- ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB Ram- G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB Case- Fractal Design Focus G Black Window ATX Mid Tower Case

PSU- EVGA 500 GD, 80+ GOLD 500W, 5 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-GD-0500-V1

Total for these parts = $1500 CAD

All aboard.

I said it. In posts, to myself, I said I'd wait. I wanted to wait. I tried to wait.

I didn't wait. Not in a rush in the slightest and I didn't even wait. All these posts and thinking about how old my PC is (i7 930 and gtx 780 still going strong haha) made me start to twitch and the monkey started rattling the cage.

The 1st time I'm actually happy I'm near a Microcenter. 2nd time with an AMD CPU. I usually flip flop and it was AMDs turn.

Might change the board. The Pro and other similar boards were sold out a few days ago when I picked up the Ultra on sale (whopping $10 off and there was a $20 off bundle with compatible mobo). Talk me out of it or into another board? MSI perhaps?

My last 2 boards were Gigabyte and I've had 0 issues over 7+ yrs, so that's kinda why I went there. I'm not a die hard fan though and have no problem putting my money elsewhere.

Yes, I will use the power. I do server/vm work among other PC related hobbies.

-edit- It's really just to share in the joy that many others are experiencing instead of being a grump about prices and availability.

How do i link up RGB fans to an RGB Addressable motherboard ?

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 11:58 AM PDT

Dear fellow pc builders, im about to embark on the most expensive PC Build ive done yet, and I need some help with regards to fan RGB and connection. I've read alot online but I am still rather confused.

I went with an X570 Aorus Elite motherboard, and Deepcool Castle 360 RGBv2 AIO. I would like to get some fans with RGB that can compliment the RGB from the deepcool fans.
I have read about many fans having their own software and hardware like hubs, lighting controllers, PWM controllers, etc. The mobo has RGB fusion, what is your recommendation, should i use the RGB fusion software? What equipment do i need, e.g. if i went with the Corsair LL120 set of fans, do i need a lighting node pro? Whats the difference to the commander pro?

As you can tell, i'm quite confused around the whole RGB fan connections, please try to simplify it for me, last thing i would want is to overspend on fans. Any help is appreciated!

Suggestings for upgrading CPU with around $400 budget.

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 01:57 PM PDT

Hey all, I have an older PC but am looking to upgrade CPU from an i5-4690k. Here are my current specs,

GPU: GTX 970 SSC

CPU: i5-4690k

RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz

Motherboard: Not sure generic

Also, I plan on upgrading the rest of the parts in about 2-3 months so I'm not worried about my low end graphics card,

Anyhow, for the $400 I have realized I will need new RAM now (DDR4), new MoBo and the CPU obviously. I have made the following list,:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - $160

MOBO: ASUS B450-Plus Prime AMD AM4 ATX - $100

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3600 - $85

SSD: Inland Professional 120GB SSD - $20

Anything else I should consider? I don't have an SSD so that's why I through in the $20 SSD. Also, all prices were checked today at my local store, thanks for any suggestions.

Newly upgraded Ryzen 5 3600 running hotter than expected causing increased fan noise

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 10:09 AM PDT

Troubleshooting Help:

What is your parts list?

Type	Item
CPU	AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler	NZXT Kraken X42 Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard	Gigabyte X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory	Kingston HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage	Samsung 960 EVO 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card	Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB AORUS Xtreme Edition 11G Video Card
Case	Phanteks ECLIPSE P600S ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply	Corsair HX Platinum 850 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.

I previously had an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor and everything worked as expected – the system was virtually silent, and remained quiet even at high load. The processor would idle at around 25C and hover around 50C under high load, without causing excessive noise.

Today, I upgraded my firmware and BIOS and installed a Ryzen 5 3600 processor. After doing so, the processor is idling around 50C and rising to between 70C and 90C under load, which causes the cooler to spin up loudly – and then spin down again after a few seconds when the temperature has gone under 60C. This repeats constantly, as the temperature rises again after only a few seconds, and it's driving me mad already.

List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

I checked settings and tried different performance and power profiles, I tried alternate fan curves, and I removed and reapplied the thermal interface paste (Arctic MX-4) in a cross shape. This did nothing whatsoever and the exact same temperatures remain.
