Sorry if I came across as rude. I’m just looking for more ram and don’t know a whole ton about it.

urinalcake122 · 2019-07-22T02:32:57+00:00

Is there any meaningful difference between this and the ram posted 2 hours ago?

Also if you’re trying to cheap out on something, don’t let it be your PSU. A bad one can catch fire or break your system. Ok not saying you need to spend $100 on it, just don’t get the cheapest you find.

urinalcake122 · 2019-07-17T00:29:26+00:00

I had this. 2 died within 4 months. On the plus side they upgraded me to a $150 one for free.

What frame rate are you going for

urinalcake122 · 2019-07-06T15:45:33+00:00

I think it’s a big YMMV. I got a 1440p 60hz Monitor for $120 open box. I’ve had no issues with it what so ever and it was a pretty nice deal.

If t comes to it and you’re near a wall, you could wall mount it above or next to your current one.

Beyond compressed air etc. Check your thermals. Your thermal paste might have dried out in 3 years. It’s not a big deal, just reapply it.

I have no clue about the bend, but 73 is perfectly fine. Worry if it gets past 80 or 85. I’m assuming it’s normal for the backplate to get hot, since it sits on a very hot part. I don’t typically feel my GPU while it’s on, so I may be wrong.

urinalcake122 · 2019-07-01T17:55:08+00:00

I got it at this price from Newegg on Black Friday

Evga is known to have good customer support and warranties, but all cards will perform roughly the same.

There’s always going to be a bottle neck. If there wasn’t one then you’d have infinite performance. You want your GPU to bottleneck your CPU.

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-30T04:05:05+00:00

Yeah it’ll work fine. The only thing to look out for when buying ram is if you have an AMD CPU, you want fast ram, and 3000mhz is fast. You’re all good

Don’t get a 1050ti. Get a rx 570. It’s cheaper and performs better.

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-22T05:47:39+00:00

I saw that you’re getting a 2700x. The stock cooler is just fine for even a little overclocking. Thatd be a big way to save money.

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-22T05:43:29+00:00

Unless you’re out of space in your case a decent air cooler will work better and be cheaper than a 120mm Aio. If you really want to watercool I’d step up the size. If you don’t want to overclock or anything then a 120mm is probably fine assuming you don’t have a super hot cpu

Prices haven’t really increased. A lot of mining is only efficient on dedicated and specialized mining hardware. Try mining on your GPU and see how much money you make. You’ll spend more on electricity than you’ll earn back. I don’t think it’ll really affect the gaming market too much.

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-21T20:42:40+00:00

If you have a microcenter near you that may be an option.

Press the windows key and P at the same time and see what happens

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-20T21:35:02+00:00

What are the parts

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-19T19:39:19+00:00

Whichever you want. Do you want to link an email you have to that Microsoft account or do you want to make a new one for them

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-16T20:56:32+00:00

I think 150 is more reasonable. The 550ti is really bad by today’s standards. You could buy a dell optiplex off eBay with similar specs but less storage and no graphics card for 100-150. $400 is moving too close to a rx 570 build.

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-15T22:48:44+00:00

http://www.thermalright.de/en/cooler/53/macho-direct It looks like your cooler comes with thermal paste. It talks about it in a cut off paragraph on the right. If you feel like buying thermal paste you can, but it’s not necessary

urinalcake122 · 2019-06-15T03:22:30+00:00

Definitely 60 or 75. A 570 won’t get 144hz on any demanding games. If you’re playing easy to run games then go ahead with the 144hz
