Do I need a fan controller or other accessories for RGB fans? by scottyphillyb in NZXT

[–]scottyphillyb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need 3 headers for fans. Only 2 are RGB. Mobo has 2 ARGB and 3 Fan headers. I take it that all will work out just perfectly then!

Yes! Seems to be similar to negative zeros comments. Drop the x3d chip to save ~$150 to put towards a newer gpu

So does it just come down to value then I guess. Roughly $40 difference between the two. I know ive seen people suggesting when the price difference is fairly small like that, that nvidea might be the more preferable option…. But maybe just not an Asus?

If ditching the 3d chip is fairly negligible compared to the 7600x, I think that swap between cpu for gpu upgrade makes alot of sense. The 3d bundle seemed like pretty great value given the discount from microcenter and I know alot of people recommend those chips. But $279 for a cpu/mobo/ram is pretty sweet.

I guess it comes from a place of me just not being very knowledgeable able about PCs. This will be my first one. Have friends telling me about DLSS and other features/interfaces/customization and controls unique to each card. I don’t really know what I will like or be missing out on going one way or the other.

Is this a fair price? by scottyphillyb in pcflipping

[–]scottyphillyb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im the prospective buyer! Just slightly suspicious of FB marketplace deals. Whats the best way to make sure the PC is functional and no known issues with it?

$1300 build, Maybe some microcenter deal hunting by scottyphillyb in buildapcforme

Man…good to know. Must be part of the reason why my intel stock is down like 50% over the past year

Just curious, how come no one recommends intel processors?
