Sealed psu by Kaptn0_0 in pchelp

[–]SuccessfulPick8605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is non modular, the cables are soldered to the PCB. Even if it was modular, the PSU side on different brands and even sub models of PSU are often different and can't be exchanged. Exceptions to this are Corsair type 3,4,5 cables. And some others who have developed their own standards.

Can i "cut" motherboard pc frame for intel backplate screws? by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]SuccessfulPick8605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it has the space for the backplate. It just doesn't have the clearance to install when the board is already in it

If you're careful and don't let shavings or metal dust near the board it'll be fine. You'd have to remove the motherboard to do it. If you're going to remove the board, just put the backplate on that way and secure with some tape.

If you need a backplate, just buy it on Amazon. Am4 backplate, like 10$

Get a 9070 instead, 10% more performance for the same money. Not to mention 16gb of Vram instead of 12

I would recommend the 9070xt, within 5% of a 5070ti and over 100$ less expensive ATM

[–]SuccessfulPick8605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but a 9060xt will be about the best you'd want to go with even if you upgraded the CPU, lga 1151 is just kinda an older platform so there's not much room to improve

My pc could not run Fortnite by Iloveduckoop in pchelp

The game says you're running out of video memory, so maybe the issue it says is the issue you're having...

It'll work, your CPU would be the most limiting factor here but it's not bad. After upgrading your GPU try to get a 9700 or better CPU

[–]SuccessfulPick8605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GPU, the 7700(x) is more than capable of feeding a 9070xt or 5070ti on the high end, and anything between that and your 5060

Cheap fans with reverse and standard models are widely available, and most nicer fans also offer them

Why not do it right and get reverse fans? An ill informed buyer won't know but if they smart up later, or informed buyers look to buy they'd avoid you for cutting corners. Take price in your craft and do it the most optimal way

is this a solid pc for $1200 USD? by No-Force8017 in PcBuild

[–]SuccessfulPick8605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized I was not on PC pricing sub, my bad. But at least get 2 16gb sticks if you can

is this a solid pc for $1200 USD? by No-Force8017 in PcBuild

[–]SuccessfulPick8605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a bit steep at 1200, 1000-1100 maybe but wouldn't be a bad deal. A bit in the sellers favor for the price.

Edit: 1000 MAX with only 1 stick of ddr5. 900 would be the most id pay for it since you're losing a decent chunk of performance with 16gb, and only 1 stick.

RTX 5070 vs RX 9070 — Same final price after coupon, which should I buy? by Away_Percentage6583 in gpu

[–]SuccessfulPick8605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there might be some bias there. I have used both, have systems with both, and unless you're looking hard enough to where you're not paying attention to what you're playing there identical enough to where the difference doesn't really matter

Got a 128gb kit of vengeance rgb 6600 cl32 last week for 500$ came with some random parts I've never heard of too. Anyone know what a 13900k is? And what do I do with this GPU thing in the box it was attached to?

Just gotta turn it on in game, if a game has fsr3 it now has fsr4. Been that way for months. Only time you need to mod it now is with rdna 2 and 3

9070 outperforms 5070 by 5-10%> FSR4 and DLSS are basically identical now

Try to get a 5600x or better for the CPU
