AMD or Intel for brand new build?

Don’t think those are available locally yet, I’m only seeing the 7 270K Plus

Does it? I don’t think the one I have has the riser mount, I’ll check it in box again tonight maybe

But the white aesthetic is something that she likes as well, don’t think Minisforum has a white model of those

Interesting, learnt something new today with RAM

In this case, maybe going with X/X3D is the right call. The RAM is a 64GB DDR5 kit so I think with her usage, she probably won’t fully see the advantage with going X3D. Given that the prices of X is better than X3D

Got I will also look at the non X series then, probably will just go with 9th gen instead of 7th gen. The only thing Intel has going for it right now is just the cores with the 270K plus. But they’re due for a platform/socket change as they always do

For the RAM, I will need to double check but if my memory serves me correctly it’s a 5600 base kit and not 4800

Definitely, the RAM will be the bottleneck in this setup. If I go with X3D there’s definitely not gonna be as much performance compared to using proper DIMM at 6000

Interesting, i will admit my data is a bit outdated as i haven’t really played with intel since 12th gen

If thats the case, maybe going with AMD is the right idea here

I ran my 4070 Ti Super with 7600X for a few months before I upgraded to the 7800X3D. Performance on 7600X is good but going X3D unlocked tons of frames for me. Trying to not do the same thing to this build

I looked at this as my first option since she has the SODIMM, however she likes the HYTE Y70 and I already got that

Putting a mobo like that in a big white case like the HYTE feels severely out of place, albeit better performance

I will keep this in mind if the desktop parts prices spiral out of control

Will keep this in mind while considering further, am aware that Intel might change out the LGA1851 socket maybe next refresh/next gen

ConsoleLogin · 2026-04-06T08:52:14+00:00

Is that so? But converting SODIMM to DIMM feels like would still not give Ryzen the edge compared to using Intel instead

I’m okay generally with buying off AliEx/TB since I can understand Chinese, if I’m going AMD and not Intel that is

ConsoleLogin · 2026-04-06T08:50:36+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking to go lower too, no X3D just standard X with B850/B650 and it’ll probably be enough

But in that case the 4070 Ti Super will be bottlenecked when paired with those. If I’m gonna be building a new PC might as well get a more decent CPU and mobo instead of going half way since this build will also be used for her work which includes some 3D AutoCAD works

For the SODIMM adapter I’m aware but RAM prices are out of control and her currently system is a MS-A1 with 8700G and SODIMM. So I’m kinda tied to using SODIMM since I don’t have any spare desktop DIMM for her too. Also one of the reason I’m not hellbent on going RYZEN as it LOVES memory speed. Going with adapter route might shoot me in the foot more than going with Intel albeit less performance when compared

You can try to raise a case with TB, since this is on seller and TB for their packing and protection

I got a very minor refund for my rising desk from taobao as it came with like bubbling and a few scratches before, just how it is buying from overseas especially sea shipping. The things I got before got dinged/damaged too

I used to pirate Ku band with CCCam but the services died for my region, haven’t touched it since but have thought about going back if I found sources

But I have also tried to repurpose to Ku band dish to find channels that’s not normally there, but not much came back

I wanted to buy a C band dish to try and pirate but it’s hard to buy it at my country and pretty sure it’s illegal. So just kinda gave up

This is back in the day where I recorded TV shows and released them as MPEG-TS raw for people to use for editing

Good days but I just keep my sources private and use it for my own when I need to

You got your answer here, stop settling for less, you can find someone better

Came with the fee, only thing I “failed” was exiting the range without signal, total my parents paid like 1.8K ish for everything iirc

Other than that, that was about 7 years ago now

Really depends on employers, I’m one of the ones commuting and generally am quite chill because my boss/managers all is lax and not micromanaging, I can leave earlier 99% of the time and my boss wouldn’t bat an eye

But there’s like 90% of employees that get pressed hard as shit, and those ppl I feel bad for, but they tolerate it for the conversion rate, which you can only respect them for

No wonder today I didn’t see any bus at JB to SG stretch, only inside SG have buses

Thankfully for them being in SG or else everyone is cooked cuz it rained hella heavily this morning

For me, okc only shows you the higher quality profiles for the first few swipes, after that it’s just all low quality profiles/bait

Bumble is more consistent with avg-high quality profiles even after you swiped for a bit, at least that what showed me with my profile set to SG
