    is the 240mm aio recommended?

    • Brrrrt on 09/12/2022 - 13:28

      no its a 12400f, save the $

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 09/12/2022 - 13:29

      It is recommended if you upgrade the CPU to the i7, the PC will be ok with standard cooling on an i5 12400F. But it is still nice to have the 240 if you want to upgrade down the track.

    • s20525xxx on 09/12/2022 - 16:28

      There is not much more upgrade options for the 12th gen and 13th gen platform. 14th gen will use a new motherboard.
      12400 doesn't use much power, and is plenty for current games.
      In term of cooler, even stock cooler is fine. U can undervolt the CPU anyway to reduce heat.
      U can get 240mm AIO for like $80 to $100. Choose any upgrade from this deal is not worth it IMO.

      This is still a good deal if you dont know how to build your own PC, don't get me wrong. Buy it, set the nvidia max frame rate to match ur monitor. Download hwinfo, and play ur games, and watch the CPU temp, CPU total utilization, and GPU usage. Then decide if u wanna upgrade either the monitor, or the cooler
      Save the money to get a high refresh rate high definition monitor. People often pair powerful CPU and graphic cards with cheap to mid tier monitors. No much point to run a pc capable of 120hz at 4k, only to use a 60hz 1080p monitor.

      • burns13 on 09/12/2022 - 20:23

        Good advice 👍

      • s20525xxx on 09/12/2022 - 22:50

        I take my comment on the stock cooler back, I was using 10400 anf 11400 as reference. 12th gen uses lot more power than 11th and 10th gen.
        But an air cooler from anywhere is cheap, just watch for LGA 1700 compatability.
        Another tip though, add another case fan on the top of the case, to get hot air out of the case.
        Air cooler doesnt work well if your intake fans out perform exhaust fan (too much positive pressure). The leaper case will almost certain only come with one exhaust fan.

      By the time you upgrade everything it’s no longer a bargain!

    • CodeExplode on 09/12/2022 - 19:32

      The 12400F is the first time I've felt the stock fan just wasn't good enough and needed immediate replacement.

      However just a Coolermaster H412r with a 92mm fan has been fantastic for keeping it cool even under heavy load, so it doesn't need a super beefy AIO. I had to buy an adapter bracket which by now probably comes in the box.

    • Hornpub on 09/12/2022 - 19:42
      +3

      try to avoid aio as necessary as you can unless the CPU TDP exceese every air cooler capacity.
      or you want the look.

      otherwise air cooler is way better.

          I’ve been using it fine for a few months now. I assume it’s product that fell off the assembly line. For $10, I don’t look too closely.

          Worst case scenario, it conks out, and I end up having to activate some other way. (Another grey market code, a crack, or a full-price code, in that order.)

          At the end of the day, it’s just a code. The software itself you download from Microsoft.

      • cook99 on 09/12/2022 - 14:28

        My previous thoughts when I was leaning to Legion were:

        1 space saved in office with no desktop tower.
        2 extra monitor built in for normal use dual screens
        3 plug into theatre room LG OLED for big screen games
        4 can use laptop on couch

        Realistically I don't think 3&4 would happen much hence the flip flopping.

        • jbird84 on 09/12/2022 - 14:54

          I went laptop for my last machine (msi raider, i7 something-or-other, rtx 2070), mostly because I was preparing to move a lot at the time, but now that I'm stationary I'll probably end up with a desktop for my next one. I've currently got the laptop plugged in under the desk where a desktop would be and have it outputting to an external kb/monitor/mouse. I had intended to do points 3 and 4 on your list as well but find that I almost never end up doing it. Like I think I've taken it downstairs maybe twice in the 2 years I've been settled in my current place. Everyone's different of course but I suspect you're probably right that 3 and 4 won't happen much. Bringing the huge power adapter with every time is kind of a drag also

        • zorrt on 09/12/2022 - 15:12

          Just my view from someone who has a PC (3070) and bought a laptop (3060) recently for similar purpose.

          1. The monitor would be too small, better to have 2 of the same size screen otherwise the laptop screen is next to useless next to a big monitor.
          2. A console would be better for that.
          3. Is not very comfortable for extended periods.

          So I find I just use the laptop for the sake of using it, but don't actually game on it. Saying that it will be useful if I go away on trips.

          • cook99 on 09/12/2022 - 15:28

            @zorrt: Thanks, some good discussion points here for sure. You're probably right on the monitor, probably better to put the $1k differential towards an awesome Ultra wide upgrade from my Dell 27" (which is great for work but would like 32" / more gaming focused in future).

      • Grazz989 on 10/12/2022 - 03:45

        I used to be a strictly desktop gamer, but after having a winter round of covid, being stuck inside etc etc during lockdown … I realised how nice it is to game in bed. Like, get a rigid mousepad (I'm using the bottom of a surface pro believe it or not, but I'm sure you can find something a lot cheaper lol), and just lean back and play. Okay, you're not going to be at your best for competitive CS:GO or LoL but … There's nothing like cranking a game of Deep Rock Galactic at midnight with the lappy perched on your belly with all the comfort of lying in bed.

        Some laptops will get uncomfortably hot for summer, I'm not sure whether there'd be a comfortable cooling pad for a reasonable price, but bed covers block the bulk of it (just don't block the vents) and something like a simple clean dinner plate would do the trick fine in a pinch I reckon.

        In other words, ironically half the time I use my laptop because I'm moving around, and the other half because I'd rather stay in bed for a while lol.

    • voldemort on 09/12/2022 - 19:50

      Can a desktop be used with a docking station through 1 single Thunderbolt port? I have a work laptop and need to frequently change between work/home laptop through a docking station. I’m afraid if I go with desktop it wouldn’t work anymore because the desktop wouldn’t work with the docking station?

      • cook99 on 09/12/2022 - 20:15

        Can't answer your question sorry but my solution to this in my current setup:

        Logitech MX Keys keyboard
        Logitech MX Anywhere mouse
        HDMI 2 cable / USB C power neatly cable organised ready to plug work laptop in.

        The keyboard mouse amazing to swap between work and home setup with a button.

        HDMI/power setup is no different to how I setup when I got into the office.

      • antfanni on 10/12/2022 - 10:59

        It can for peripheral devices but be aware if the monitors are not plugged directly into the GPU don't expect a high refresh rate.

      • Vislian on 10/12/2022 - 19:16

        Most desktops won’t offer thunderbolt but will offer usb-c. So for your peripherals it’ll be fine. For your screens though you’re better off using another set of hdmi/dps and switching on the input of your monitor.

    • Thermaltake Versa J21 Medium Case $79

    • Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 $156

    • My wife is not doing any gaming so I just used the integrated GPU from CPU

    Total cost: $858

      SSD would probably be a gen 3 not gen 4. You would get better value buying your own SSD's and slotting/putting them in. Probably the easiest thing you could do with a PC.

      The extra year is not worth it either. If something is faulty and breaks, you are still covered under the ACCC as consumer law states if something of high value is meant to last more than 12 months then the manufacturer or supplier is obligated to repair, replace or refund.

      Upgrading the processer to the i7 won't net you much performance gains but will help for longevity a little bit of your build, but I think it's not really worth the $299. The mobo and cooling is fine.

      • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2022 - 17:02

        I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and order - I haven’t owned a desktop in about 15 years (and my gaming laptop is pretty old too), so this is super exciting!

        My poor, poor wallet though…on top of this PC I went and splurged on a new TV, a sound bar, a keyboard, and a 4K monitor, all in the last month. It’s been my first major tech overhaul in years.

      Wut

      Don't get a USB WiFi adapter! Get a PCIe one, if you need one at all. Better yet, ask for an upgrade to a mobo with wifi integrated into it. Edit: Saw you already ordered, you should have time to ask for an upgrade on this before they ship it.

      SSDs have wildly differing performance levels, DRAM vs DRAMless is one major question. I'd guess that if they're not specifying the SSD, there's a good chance it'll be garbage. I'd either buy one and put the thing in myself, or at the very least pick an option where you know what drive you're getting and can research it.

      Why buy 1TB of spinning rust for more dollarydoos than an SSD? That's madness. HDDs are only better when the GB/$ is better, and that tends to be at sizes >2TB.

        hi, whats the difference btwn PCIe and a USB WIFI adapter? Which one's better? Sorry I'm new to PC

      • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2022 - 12:49

        Thanks for the advice. It doesn’t look like either of the motherboards that they offer have integrated wifi though?

          You could call them up and double check I suppose, they might do an exception.

          Otherwise, the advantage of PCIe over USB is mostly reliability (as in, less software bugs and less issues being detected etc), but there's also performance reasons. It's nice to be able to have just a generic WiFi adapter rather than having to muck about with some company's application for their USB adapter.

    Specs look great but is it just me or does the case look less than appealing?

      Case is a dealbreaker lol

      Just want to say that I like the look of the case. If anything, needs more white.

      • cristobaljamesy on 11/12/2022 - 12:06

        Wasn't there a white PC with a 3060 Ti around or slightly before Black Friday on offer?

    final allocation so quantities strictly limited!

    Absolutely disgusting move by nvidia to move demand onto their stupidly priced 4080 that no one currently wants.

    Bloody hell amd (and Intel), save us.

    Also, how does this deal compare to this one from Titan Tech It? Has anyone here had any experience with them?

      This looks good also, and free shipping and no zip pay mark up.

      That deal looks like good value. But I'm not sure if they're still around. I emailed them, tried messaging their website and called them and haven't received a response at all. This was a week ago.

      So if you buy, you might be waiting a while…or worst case fighting to get your money back…

      • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2022 - 12:49

        Oof, that’s a worry.

    • Broos on 10/12/2022 - 00:12

      Oh, this is much better. Nice find.
