Three days of exhausting work to get my rainbows

---

hi cap

---

Hey

---

im going to bed

good night

and enjoy the pc

---

I recently swapped my RGB ram for normal ram and Ive never been happier

---

Bump for day CE. I still have two fans I need to install but I need a splitter

---

Great job! A 2070 Super should be a great card.

---

what case is that

iCUE 220T RGB Airflow
Comes with three fans!

Hell no! They're awesome!

Lmao it took you 3 days to build your computer?

I built mine in like 45 minutes

Why dont you like pretty colors @Turtlebread

Awesome. Now time to get a Be Quiet! tower cooler or an AIO for your 3700x.

It was his first one, and he looks to have done a good job.

---

Mine was my first one too lol

Now that it's built and it works



Let's talk about that cable management and SSD at the bottom of the case

---

Fix that cable management, dude. You spent three days on this, at least make it look nice.

Damn that's nice.

---

Lmao I didnt even know the SSD was visible in that shot. Yeah I just stuffed it down by the PSU

His case even has a PSU shroud. No excuse for this one. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, but it will help immensely with airflow.

I have two more fans Im gonna put in. Do I really need the water cooler?

Nah you don't unless you plan on overclocking

The fans help with airflow through the case, but even then, there are diminishing returns on case fans. An AIO or tower cooler will be better for your CPU than more case fans. The Wraith Spire is decent for a stock cooler, but even a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo will knock up to 15c off your temps.

Which the Zen2 chips do by themselves. All the time. Performance Boost Overdrive is an OC algorithm that uses your temps and cooling solution to determine how high it can safely go. I have a 3600x, which has a floor of 3.6ghz. It can boost up to 4.4ghz, but my chip usually only hits 4.3ghz. That's 700mhz - a pretty significant OC.

I agree. I stuck with the Prism on my new 3800x for a few weeks but I got a Noctua and shaved off 15c from load temps and it's quieter than the Prism was.

No way dude, maybe 5 degrees

So buy that and return the two fans?

I just turned that off on my pc

I would hit 80c with my Wraith Spire under load, and 67c with my Hyper 212. That's significant.

You are now not being taken seriously.

Lol I don't need to OC my 3700x to play csgo

So today I learned you plug the hdmi into the graphics card instead of the hdmi port. Why?

---

uh where do you think the display comes from

and also why are you using hdmi and not display port

Reiss posted...

The hdmi port in the mobo

ohhh your cables dude

you have a nice case nice fans

get those cables out of there.

classic mistake. many CPU's have a graphics chip in them so you dont need a graphics card if you dont want one. the motherboards plug is for that

but to use the power of your expensive graphics card, you plug into the card itself.

Display port?

Tried to run Watch Dogs 2 at ultra settings on 4k and my shit got slapped down to 30fps. Smh.

---

To be fair, watch dogs 2 is horribly bugged

DisplayPort is another type of cable (like HDMI). I've never used it myself
---

I don't think you can run any game at 4k >60fps on a single graphics card. Not even a 2080 Ti would get you that

---

I was running A Hat in Time at 4k60 in a level. The rain level fucked my shit up.

I think I could run 360 era games at 4k60

---

How did that take you 3 days lol

Where's all your specs at

Do you have vertical sync on or something?

V Sync? Yeah, you need it for screen tearing right?

Isn't the 2070 Super meant for 1440p?

Edit: for 60fps+ that is

---

Blue_Inigo posted...

V Sync? Yeah, you need it for screen tearing right?

yes but it also presents some issues

1) it introduces lag between your controller/keyboard/mouse
2) if your computer can't render the game at the full FPS of your monitor, it caps the Frame rate by HALF and sets that as its new target.

for example, i can run Overwatch at 120-140fps in any given match. i have a 144hz screen. if i turn on v sync, it says "hey 125fps is not 144, SLOW IT DOWN" and it caps it at 72fps NO MATTER WHAT.

so if you're not getting the FPS you desire when you know you can, you can try turning it off.
screen tearing isn't that bad imo, id rather have tearing than chunky fps. i use software (ie the control panel or a setting in the game) to limit my fps to my monitor. i found that helps with tearing

or get a g-sync/free sync monitor if you can afford it, but they're pretty standard nowadays. (but then you introduce other issues lol)

---

uh you can definitely hit 60+ on modern games maxed @ 4k with the 2070 super

@im_not_13 I was very computer illiterate jumping into this

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
RTX 2070 Super
16 GB RAM
Mobo X570 Gaming Plus

What kinda trash monitor do you have to not even know what a display port is
