That's exactly what I did, installation is easier than the 212 (although still annoying, I hate CPU coolers it seems) and the Prism is still overkill for the 3600, which is a good thing. Under 100% load it doesn't even go to 100% fan speed on my motherboard's default fan curves.
I currently have the same CPU running at 4.4 with a 2080 Super arriving today. Last night I thought "why not sell the 6700K with my motherboard and go for a new mobo + 9900K?" Which motherboard did you buy to reach 5.0 on all cores? Is your CPU air or water-cooled? I like to play BR games like PUBG and other competitive games with some single player (like Gears 5) in between. I wanted to wait until summer 2020 when probably all new CPUs and GPUs are out, but I got impatient.
If you don't mind the 60% layout, look into the Anne Pro 2]
Well it took awhile, with a few hiccups, but the rig is near complete.
CPU: i9-9900k
GPU: GTX 2070 Supes
Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Master
RAM: Corsair 32gb@3200(overkill I know)
PSU: Corsair 850w
Case: NZXT H510i elite
I exchanged the Asus Maximus Hero XI I initially bought for a Gigabyte Aorus Extreme after I was having issues with the wifi dropping. Turns out the Gigabyte was giving me same issue and I resolved it by switching the adapter from 802.11 a/c to n in the device settings(discovered that possible fix after hours of internet research). Sorry for the blame Asus! Though I like the Gigabyte better anyway I think. (Also, it still drops whenever I download from the fucking MS Win10 App/Xbox store, but not as often. What a hog that thing is!)
Also swapped out the Kraken M22 single 120mm AIO Cooler(rear mounted) for an X62 280mm(front mounted) after getting nervous that the m22 wasn't providing decent cooling. The X62 keeps temps lower for sure, but I think the m22 light ring and RGB was much better. It was super bright and had better depth on the m22, whereas here its kind of dim and the inner rings barely reflect any depth. :/ Also the connection was far easier and less convoluted with the smaller m22(no SATA connection needed for power unlike the older X62).
You may notice I have no Keyboard. I am using an ancient ugly Logitech currently(not pictured) but want to replace it with something fitting the setup. Currently eyeing the Massdrop CTRL, but the price is a bit much(considering the expense I already dumped) and I have never used a mech kb so choosing switches is beyond me. Also considering the Logi G Pro, but the all black doesn't fit with the rest of my components well.
I also plan to probably get some braided PSU cables to switch out as I really dislike the ones that come with the PSU. I tried my best to make the GPU connection not look rough, but those included cables are tough to work with and all have multiple ends to tuck out of sight and take up needless space.
Anyway, playing Control, Gears 4(gotta catch up before 5!), and FFXIV mostly. Just grabbed Remnant, which is kind of neat. Looking for other suggestions that make the PC sing.
Ah! They have regular strips in the $20-$30 range that will be good against surges too. 😅
1) Ryzen 3000 and X570 launched together, but availability may depend on your country. Eight Ryzen 3000 models are out. The upcoming releases are for high core count workstation chips.
Right now I would say a RX 580. Since AMD just released the new series of cards to replace them you can find 580 at all sorts of discounts.
Yeah that too. That said, your 560ti has 1GB or memory right? I would say that if you got a new ultra-wide monitor (3440x1440p?), that's the usual reason your performance is tanking much further than expected even after reducing graphical settings.
Yep it's a 1gb model. Youre saying the memory on the GPU is the culprit?
1gb is barely passable. While I'm still using a 2600k (waiting for the b450 to be delivered in a few days, and going with a 3600), the gpu is holding you back.
what else is included? PSU? Case? brands? I'll assume a second hand 1070 is about 200ish USD?
Yeah everything included. It's a prebuilt from ibuypower from a friend of mine. He said he's never had any issues and only used it for light gaming, mostly video editing the last couple years.
That is super solid for current gen. Great price for what it is a very high settings 1440p 60fps machine.
Sounds good then; usually I'd be concerned about proprietary nonsense that some PC builders put in their systems, but it looks like ibuypower doesn't do that. I could be wrong though.
That's a really good pc for that price. 1070 is still a really good card.
So safe to say a GPU with more RAM will better handle the higher native resolution then? I'm not looking to do 4k or 60fps just have the not so demanding games I currently play perform better.
Thanks. I'll keep it in mind for the future. Realized earlier that Windows update has trashed my PC and I can't boot up. Trying to transfer files and back them up so I can do a clean install.
I did. It can't see any restore points. And I chose each of the three options it gave me; it had two windows 10 options and the top option was Windows Rollback. It can't repair start up or go back to a previous build either. Closest thing to functionality is letting it sit on the screen waiting for it to rollback changes it did to the system with the failed windows update.
If it's non-conductive it should be fine, try to clean it up as much as possible though.
Good to know. I had no idea the 2060 Super performed that well, that gives me a much better idea of what to sell mine for. Thank you!
