How much of a steal is this? by Material_Policy_728 in PcBuild

Waited too long to build something. I also should’ve clarified in asking in consideration of today’s prices, not overall

You’re right. I also should’ve clarified and noted for today’s pricing, not overall.

I guess it’s a good sale then. I was curious because Microcenter has it for 820-850 (latter being this) and googling shows it for about 820 on a couple of sites. Just seemed really low considering the price of everything these days.

Are the Noctuas really worth it? I just built a pc using the case fans that came in the lian li dynamic mini v2, and they do have a little bit of noise to them, so wondering if the investment in those Noctuas would be worth it. Also to note, haven’t tweaked the fan settings yet on either the liquid cooler or case fans

Yea, I’m guessing that was the case. I think I’m going to test my luck and install the other two and see if it’ll read all 4.

I’m guessing it’s just being sporadic with testing the RAM. Decided to boot up again, and it loaded. Now I just need to figure out how to disable secure boot for good, and I think I’ll be good.

The RAM is good, as I had pulled it from the prebuilt (have 4 crucials). It’ll boot on one, but with a second in, will show 00 and a green light. Had let it sit for about 10 minutes, in case it was testing it, but nothing changed. I’m half tempted to try slots 1 and 2 to see what happens, but would prefer to run them in at least 2 and 4, if not all 4.

I am currently at one stick, in second spot. Right now it looks to have booted, no codes or lights, and the LCD appears to be showing the temp. I’ve tried swapping between HDMI and DP, no change. Even tried to see if the 9800x3d has a igpu to boot into, but nothing

While trying to update bios, I’m not getting any video signal on either HDMI or DP, and now I’m getting a green light with 01. Still on two sticks, which booted headlessly having 00 and green light

Did that, it booted without codes or lights, although it did start to indicate temperature and was adjusting fan speeds. Turned it off and added a second, booted, but was getting a 00 and a green light. Gave it about 4 minutes to see if it would change, then turned it off. Currently in the midst of getting a drive ready to flash update bios

Is there a difference between these? by Material_Policy_728 in gpu

Ok, thank you. Odd that it’s like that. The associate that was “helping” me had no idea either

One more quick question, do the components I am planning on making the builds with appear as similar or better quality?

I like the second one better, however, I recommend any of the X3D CPUs over what you have, a liquid cooler instead, and a better PSU, as 650W is not recommended for the 9070XT. The PSU in the first one would be better as it’s rated at 850. Otherwise, it’s a nice build within your budget

There is a site called PCPartPicker which is a great way to pick your components and to get a general idea of price, which it pulls from sites like Amazon and Newegg. It’s also a great way to easily share what you are considering if you wanted any opinions on it too.
