    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    As I told you, I was about to throw a dice which any of the two (7700X and 7800X3D and pick the best deal). Finally I got the 7700X for $190 on a Pre Black Friday deal. I think it's much better deal than going under on 7700, 7600X or 7600. As expected, I was monitoring all the best deals from...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    These guys cannot understand what means gaming through College? I might be a little bit older than you, but I went through UT2003 which wouldn't either do it with a Chromebook-like PC I can't even remeber which card I have back then and I did not even tape for the spare HDD, all dropped in the...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    Looks very affordable the Phanteks Eclipse G300A Personally, I like to buy very long-lasting cases, P183 has been around for more than 10 years and 5 house moving under her belt without a scratch. Apart from good space, which appears to be appropriate, I appreciate how easy it is to clean also...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    Yeah, I noted the exact same appreciation, found many glass cases under the price of the solid ones. There is a whole submarket on looks that puts on the PC an extra layer of costs. I was about to go with the Fractal Design North just because of looks, but it appears that it falls into a ton of...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    I need to ask a question because I'm a little bit lost. Which extra fans would you recommend installing? By default, it comes with 6 and 7 for the regular ATX version so I've marked all the other optional fans that could fit (In fact I'm n ot sure if number 5 will fit because of the bottom one...

    I will consider this by the time it gets, thanks for the ideas.

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    After spending like a ton of hours on researching I'm already on the boat. If I had dedicated my time invoicing all the time I have dedicated I would probably have right now the money for a second setup from scratch :confused: So I'm moving on with whatever the dice decided. I think it has been...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    I don't hate windows, the thing is that since is not visible and geneally windows make case a little expensive (not always but generally) this is why this was not a requirement. All out of sudden I have discovered a gem, that is within my budget, and from the reviews I've seen it seems to be a...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    First thanks for the analysis Secondly there are some things that maybe I've expressed wrongly. I will not probably upgrade CPU until I see that it's clearly flawed or limited. For ideal will be the exact last CPU that will be released for AM5 in the future and no more Finally, the card is...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    It looks great but says compact, and I'm not sure how compact it is, I'm concerned that the PSU may not fit EDIT: Fractal Define 7 Compact 200 mm total (165 mm w/ HDD cage and front fan) 165mm for the PSU, and my PSU is 175, so not valid :( Same happens with Pop Air PSU max length: 170 mm...

    Any spartan well-made cases out there?

    I've been with my Antec P183 for more than 10 years and I gotta say is more than I ever needed. It cost me $120 back in the day. It is a very spartan case, that had all the perfect & well-made cooling features and since I was going full air, I required something right to not hog the core...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    Thanks for the video, I always like to see more points of view on different aspects I have not gone yet into the "overall overclocking" part (RAM, GPU, CPU, whatever), so I'm completely unaware ATM of which are the current RAM stock frequencies, etc. I see that 99% of the people are choosing 6K...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    This is a good argument, but I don't understand the point. Remember that I will be picking an 3060 or a A770 probably, both way more powerful options than the processing power of any CPU right now (for heavy lifting tasks, like we have been commenting as like you say here: So I don't...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    I already knew of the presence of these benchmarks and much more that these guys are not even considering, like live previews performance. I have to agree to disagree here. They are not taking into consideration, that most of these "productivity" benchmarks are done solely, with the foundation...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    These are the exact conclusions I've gotten so far. The thing is, as KickAssCop has suggested, I'm significantly concerned that "productivity" apps do not take much advantage really from multicore because all the heavy lifting (which generally is encoding and generation), is nowadays done by...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    It seems that it fits well https://pcpartpicker.com/b/MvCzK8 What in fact I'm starting to observe is that the problem fitting something will be with the be quiet PSU... It's seems that it exceed some recommendations

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    The reality is that I don't have budget to spend on a X080+ series. I think I will never be able to go much beyond $700 and from the history of the video cards from the past til now, I know for sure that I will be fine even with a 600W PSU. So in this sense, is one of the few things I don't have...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    Did you saw my build? It's funny because it's almost exactly that ATM I'm not going for 1000W because it seems to be a waste as already discussed here and I prefer to go for a top tier PSU, including 3.0 and Titanium Specs sacrificing a little bit of max output For the cooler, I choose that...

    PSU recommendation on PCPartPicker is true?

    Yeah I've been doing simulations https://outervision.com/b/vMHGT1 https://outervision.com/b/i5g1w8 But unless you move up to a 4090, nothing seems to require anything bigger than 750W Like everything in life, the thing here is with my budget under $200 for PSU I must choose A) 80 PLUS...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    Ok, let me answer those questions Judging by the benchmarks, it feels like the drop is significant, 30% on average. The truth is that I've been so disconnected from hardware improvements for the past years that I'm not aware of what that extra 30% exactly means. I do a variety of tasks weekly...

    PSU recommendation on PCPartPicker is true?

    So the conclusion here is that 750 W is viable or is a mistake?

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    Interesting to read both comments because basically are the two thoughts that are fighting currently on my mind. I'm going to try to answer myself my other concern, based on these two opposed ideas. On one side I feel that I whatever I choose it will be right because probably 7800X3D is enough...

    PSU recommendation on PCPartPicker is true?

    Wait a second I chose specifically this PSU because it was Titanium + ATX 3.0 at the same time+ it has a nice discount in my country (only the 750W version). Am I missing something? https://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/4044

    PSU recommendation on PCPartPicker is true?

    For this particular setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mjXyxH I was planning on getting this PSU https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fCmNnQ/be-quiet-dark-power-13-750-w-80-titanium-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn659 At 750W which I personally like I assume it will fit perfectly...

    PSU recommendation on PCPartPicker is true?

    After building my computer on PCPartPicker it says that the Estimated Wattage is 470W. Does this mean that I will fine with 500 or 600W for this build? Or should I go more conservative, up to 750/850W? For example, I was checking this build I found in a post some months ago, and I can't...

    Serious issues deciding between 7900X and 7800X3D

    I’m having serious issues deciding between these two CPUs for multiple reasons. I come from a 14-year PC socket 1366 that I’ve been renewing for all this time until there were bottlenecks just everywhere and now it’s so difficult to work with it, that I need to renew it ASAP. Likewise, I won’t...
