Got this much needed fan for the top of my pc. Going to help knock temps down quite a bit

Nice

@SmokyCopCar the real question is....................is it RGB?

Yeah, but my lazy ass hasn’t figured out how to connect the rgb part yet

I bought more RAM and when I put it in my computer wouldn't boot. Thinking it was broken I just put it in the graveyard with all my old mouses, earbuds, and phones. Two weeks later I tried to put it in again and it turns out you need to press it to where you think your motherboards about to snap.

Yeah, taking note of that. I’m getting upgraded ram for Christmas

I only have 8gb

Getting another 8gb stick of the same ram so I’ll have 16

Make sure you align the ram correctly, it's keyed to only work one way. After that, many boards need a good bit of pushing to get the ram retention clips to snap.

The first time you do it you think you're about to snap the board

Particularly with as much as some boards flex.

First time I installed a CPU I thought I might crush the pins

Yeah it was aligned correctly I knew you had to push hard just didn't know really how hard to push it

I have 16 gigs or RAM it should be good for at least the next year. After that I'm probably going to upgrade to 32 gigs.

My pc specs are a bit better than the xbox series x so I should be good on that for the next 5 years.

Yes I know that you can't really compare like that since console games are better optimized since there's only one possible system combination that can run it but I just use that as a baseline

I have a mid end 1080/1440p rig with a 1660 super, Ryzen 5 3600, 8gb Ram soon to be 16, 256gg SSD/1tb hdd.

I have the 1660 TI, i5 9400f 9th gen, and 16 gigs of RAM. So mine is a bit better than yours but once you get that RAM they will be about the same except for the tiny extra bit of graphics power since I have the TI.

Mine probably won't be as good on fps as the series x or ps5 in a few years but that doesn't matter because I cap all my games at 60 FPS since I only have a 60 hertz monitor

There's no point in putting the extra work on your pc if it makes no difference

There's no way this is right

I was looking to see what card to upgrade too in the future but there's no what the 1660 TI is better than the 2080 TI and it costs 4 times less

@SmokyCopCar do you have a cyber power?

Because that's the exact storage mine came with. I think they discontinued my model because on amazon it had the option to upgrade from the regular 1660 to the TI when I bought it but it ain't showing anymore

I got mine for cheap on black friday. It was a thousand dollars but I got it for 730 on sale.

Then I only ended up paying 680 because my mom's friend gave me a 50 dollar amazon gift card for my birthday.

@KungFlu BatSoup sane I also only have a 60hz but am upgrading next year

> @SmokyCopCar do you have a cyber power?
@KungFlu BatSoup HP Omen 30L

Oh damn you have a nice brand

I would like to upgrade to maybe a 2060 because that’s a really good combo with the Ryzen 5 3600 but that’s nothing I’m worried about upgrading right now

> Oh damn you have a nice brand
@KungFlu BatSoup comes with a hefty price tag though

2060 ain't really much of an upgrade from the 1660 supee

True

Yea i know aren't they like 1300 dollars?

Only problem with the 30L is it runs a bit hot

Yeah jumping to an RTX 2060 is less than a 30% performance gain

I installed that fan I posted here yesterday and it doesn’t change the temps under load but it runs cooler on idle/just browsing the web/streaming

Maybe by 1-2 degrees

Mine runs cool. Playing Arma 3, a very cpu intensive game, my i5 only gets up too 130-40 degrees

I keep mine on Celsius because it easier to find temp listings in Celsius but my cpu does up to 78 degrees Celsius under load and my GPU like 75 Celsius under extremely heavy load
