Hi all, I'm currently working on upgrading my PC to a 5600x and a 3070, and I was wondering if anyone has any good pointers as for where to look for guidance on building a loop and buying quality parts? I'd like to do soft tubing and water cool both my 3070 and 5600x for looks and...

I was looking at the Gigabyte B550 AORUS elite AX v2. The reviews on PCPartPicker said they had no issues, and I think it supports bios flashback.

Alright, thank you for the reply :) I was just worried because I had seen posts in even the past few months that said boards still needed to be flashed. Thank you again :)

Hey guys, I am working on building my dad a PC at the moment, and I want to get him a 5800X for his build so he can run whatever he wants at essentially max FPS. The only problem I've run into is that B550 and X570 motherboards (according to PCPartPicker and the rest of the internet) need to...

who buys a card from a place that sells vintage campers tho?

Me as well, the card and mobo I bought are due here on Monday, so I'll update everyone then :) may god favor us both lol

I just bought a 1070 and a z70a from a guy on the forum as well :) the [H]ookup is real. Stuff was pretty cheap and I'll update y'all on whether it is DOA or not LOL. Thanks for all the advice to everyone who replied on this post :)

It's really undercutting retail price, like $100 is the price we agreed on, and I'm just honestly worried that it's "too good" of a deal, ya know? And I agree with the used hardware thing, I've bought the hell out of some used stuff for my build lol.

Hey y'all, This past May I built my first computer, and I'm running on a mobo that cannot OC ram or CPU, and I'd like to OC my 7600K. I got a really good deal on a z270A from a miner, and he has a warranty that prevents DOA, and has sent me pictures of it working, etc. It was in sub-45C...

How much maintenance does a normal (1 gpu oced, 1 cpu oced, 4 sticks of ram) watercooling build take?

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to water cool at this point?

Thanks for the actual numbers. I'm probably gonna grab a 1070 and a new mobo to oc my cpu, then get a job this summer and grab a 1080ti when stuff settles out.

What do you think a good markdown is for a card that's been mined on? And I did a bunch of research after posting this, it seems your point is well based in evidence lol, fuck the haters

The 3 likes along with this comment make it seem like it's a good idea. I'll look into buying a card from one of the people on here. I figured that this would probably be the place I bought from anyways, with all the expertise and info from all you guys!

I love this website. Some things you just can't find reading guides or articles, you need informed people who are happy to help others who are new. I'm gonna look into watercooling once I get myself all set up :) thanks for everything man, and I hope your day is going well!

LMAO that is the most fucking crazy shit i have ever seen in my life. She's beautiful.

I’m gonna hit you up when I start water cooling, I love how knowledgeable this forum is on everything electronics and hardware. Thank you for the tips, I didn’t even know about Barrow, only EKWB :)

Good to know. I think that it’s the perfect time to get a mining card from a reliable seller because of the simple decline of mining (or so it seems, correct me if I’m wrong), and honestly now that I have the money for water cooling, I think that a well-maintained, undervolted/clocked card could...

You guys are on some next level stuff with your builds. I’m function over form for now at least, I just need it to perform and power my stream and the games I want to play. I can’t wait to get water cooling all set up though. Your setup sounds dope af man

The cards I think I'm gonna grab are like 66% (or less) of retail price, and the sellers all have god heatware. Have you had any experiences with mining cards or sellers? I'm happy to take any tips from you guys, that's what I'm here for.

So undervolting and underclocking are things to look for? That makes sense because I always hear people talk about overclocked cards burning out over time. do you have a custom water loop or do you use prebuilt stuff, EK, etc?

Yeah it looks like a good deal as well. I'm gonna work on water-cooling my streaming setup at some point, and then i'll post some cool pics of it with rgb for the hype montages. The seller has a warranty against DOA cards, and seems like he is a cool guy. I kinda just wish there was an actually...

Hey y'all, I've been following all the hype and stuff for the new RTX cards, and all the new processor stuff, and that's cool and all. However, I'm broke, so that stuff doesn't really apply to me in a large sense. I have been looking for a 1080ti/1080 or 1070ti/1070 for awhile, and I think I...

That sounds hype dude!! Gratz on it not melting into your motherboard or some crazy s*** like that

Someone in church being named like “satanistgamer666” or something would have the whole congregation dying :oops:

I wonder what’ll come first: Joel Osteen’s Salvation Simulator 20XX, or an actually good VR shooting game...

Just ordered mine actually... overpriced tbh

You’re making it sound like we aren’t far off from living in the matrix hahaha

That's why doorknobs are considered a lethal weapon now...

I don't know if I should feel threatened or reassured. LOL i wouldnt mind getting a sparring match in after a day at the arcade.

Good point haha, I guess the toxicity has spread to both gaming and social media

That's crazy dude. How long did you have it working OC'd that high??

I cant wait to see people going to VR church after the stuff you said about the inlaws LOL

My friend just set it up for this weekend!! Thanks for the suggestion Hagrid <3

That actually sounds like a decent way to get a workout.

You played VRChat yet? LOL.

The heavy headsets are actually extremely annoying, but the wires are the worst, I can't count the number of times that I've tripped over them or pulled them out of the PC, or stretched them, because I was messing around.

I love how you two said that more people are needed, "for advancement" hahah you guys sound like the borg

Never thought about it like that!

;)
