SUMMERFAST

Hi all,

Continuing the 20% SUMMERFAST coupon code, we have two new mid-tier CPU/GPU pairings, featuring RTX 2060 6GB and RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB GPUs. Both are almost certainly Galax 1-click OC, and definitely 2060 rather than 2060 Super, and 2070 Super rather than 2070.

The new 2070 Super pricing means a $377.80 price difference between this and the 9700F/2080 Super pricing, with just an approximate 16% effective speed difference. Let me know if you want to see this paired with other CPUs.

Core i7 9700F / RTX 2070 Super Gaming PC

Core i7 9700F
Galax 1-click OC RTX 2070 Super 8GB (guaranteed MSI Ventus available for those wanting it)
16G 2666MHz RAM
480GB SSD (Allied, our standard offering)
Biostar B360MHD Pro2 motherboard

Does anyone have any experience with the Techfast liquid coolers? Are they reliable and quiet?

Also, would an i7 9700f generate less heat than a ryzen 3800x? The i7 has a lower TDP (65W vs 105W), but the ryzen uses a smaller manufacturing process (7nm vs 14nm). How much do TDP and die size effect heat output?

I have had issues with computer heat in the past so heat management is an important factor for me.

  The TDP doesn't really mean much mate, there's no standard so they just pull those numbers out of their ass. Here is a comparison of actual power consumption numbers and it looks like the i7 9700 is the lowest power part.

  Not a direct answer to your questions, but I'm running a 3700X and the wraith cooler is surprisingly good if you had intended to use it with the Ryzen chip. CPU idles around 45 degrees with an ambient room temp of 30 degrees or more and I've never seen it go above 75, even under heavy load.
- NigerianGirthLord on 22/01/2020 - 17:32

  Intel has their TDP at base clocks
  - 9700f is non overclockable (not a k variant) but still boosts to near 5ghz
  
  AMD TDP is at boost
  - 3800x is an unecessary cost over 3700x as it's just better binned 1-3% faster for $50-100 more
  
  If you're worried about heat, don't be, unless you have a 9900k on air.
  
  General rule of thumb for overall CPU rank.
  
  Ryzen 5 3600, cheapest 6 core/12 thread (basically a 5% faster at stock per core 8700k that doesn't boost as high)
  
  Ryzen 7 3700x - productivity king to cost (8 core/16 thread)
  
  Intel i9 9900k - best gaming but Chernobyl (8 core/16 thread)
  
  Ryzen 9 3900x - 12 core/ 24 thread . Literally 2 ryzen 3600x together
  
  Intel i9 9700k - no hyperthreading = pure gaming is good but everything trash (8 core/8 thread)
  
  Ryzen, unlike Intel, scales their ryzen 3600-3700-3800-3900-3950 linearly. As in the single core performance is basically the same bar binning performance gains.
  
  Only benefit going up the ryzen ladder from 3600 is more cores.
  - Thazza on 22/01/2020 - 17:47
    
    I remember the good ol days when duo core processors were THE next best thing back in 2006.

      16 in the…"consumer" space. 64 in the HEDT space. Think it might be higher in the server space?
    - pull the lever on 23/01/2020 - 06:49
      
      Yep. Phones have 8 cores for a while now.
      - ssquid on 23/01/2020 - 14:11
        
        @pull the lever: Which is just silly - the heat generated from running them continuously for any longer than 20s causes throttling to kick in and either disables some cores (in big.LITTLE configurations) or slows down their speed. So while the cores may exist, trying to actually use them disables them.

    So how does the 3500X and 3600 stack up against the 8700K for gaming? So faster clocks?
    - NigerianGirthLord on 22/01/2020 - 21:22

      3600 and 8700k: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-3600-vs-Int…
      
      TL;DR: 3600 faster single core by ~8% but that's most likely at stock. As mentioned: 8700k can boost 0.5GHz more than 3600.
      
      https://static.techspot.com/articles-info/1871/bench/Cost.pn…
      
      3600: 130 frames avg (9 games)
      3500x: not in same test but same base and 0.1Ghz less boost so sameish performance (6 less threads but for gaming doesn't matter)
      8700k: 141 frames avg (9 games)
      
      This is 1080p, if you play at 1440p or 4k everything will be the same/slightly varied depending on optimisations (GPU is the limit at higher resolutions
      
      Also, if you get an 8700k be prepared to delid it as the thermal paste between the heat spreader for that gen (8th) is awful.
      -> Basically: Same temps tbh as 9900k for 2 less cores and 4 less threads w/less IPC density.
      
      Either for gaming, go for 9900k or 3600. 8700k is horribly expensive still ($550+ range on eBay).
      
      OR wait for ryzen 4000 for a ~ +11-14% IPC improvement + more overclock headroom.

Does the individual parts come with their respective manufactures warranty?

Example: Galax 1-click OC RTX 2060 6GB comes with 3 year manufacture warranty?
- Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 22/01/2020 - 21:06
  
  Yes, our 1 year assembled warranty and whatever manufacturer warranty exists after that, which differs for each part.
  - atom1319 on 22/01/2020 - 21:14
    
    Just to clarify, so if anything goes wrong do we just send the part to you or the manufacturer?

        Hello TechFast, hope you are well.
        
        @ShotzzAU showed me a PC build that I am greatly interested in, I've also added some upgrades in which I think would make it perform better. I would absolutely love to purchase the PC, but there is one issue and that is that I need to grab money out of the bank and to put it onto a card so that I could purchase the PC, unfortunately, Monday the 27th is the only time that we will be able to do so as I can not get money out of my bank account and to put it onto the card on the weekend as they are not opened. And the reason that is an issue is because the discount code I used in the cart ends on Monday 27th, this means that it makes the price of the PC much more expensive and out of my budget.
        
        The code I was using is ARSERYZE, and the PC Build was https://techfast.com.au/products/amd-ryzen-5-3500x-gtx-1660-….
        
        So I wanted to ask, is it possible to make this discount code last until the 28th of January so that I have time to get the money to pay for this PC, I am really wanting to purchase it as it would be my first gaming computer and I really really want to be able to purchase it as it's been a dream of mine for quite some while.
        
        Please let me know if this is possible or you can sort anything out for me.
        
        Thanks.
        
        sprect on 25/01/2020 - 20:23

        @luketechfast: Thank you so so much! You are a life saver! How long can you extend the code for just so I know I don't accidentally buy it too late or anything?
        
        sprect on 26/01/2020 - 09:51
        
        @luketechfast: even if it's no stress, if even extending it a week? that would be perfect thanks so much for your help Luke.
      - ShotzzAU on 25/01/2020 - 20:55
        
        @luketechfast: but like the warranty stuff is still possible just much harder right?
        
        Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 25/01/2020 - 22:23
        
        @ShotzzAU: It would need to come back to Aus for servicing. Would need to be discussed as case by case.

    Is there any reason why Ryzen 3700x is better than the Intel i7 9700F version? I need some insight as I want to buy one of these models just for Fortnite gaming but don’t know which to choose (my first tome)

  Ryzen versions for your consideration. Same price for 3700X as 9700F.
  - emoticon on 23/01/2020 - 20:47
    
    Nice, kudos for keeping it the same price. The 3700x retails for slightly more.
    I can build my own PC so pre-mades aren’t for me but this is great for non-enthusiasts.
    
    FrugalBoi95 get this one instead of the Intel 9700f system.
    
    I’d recommend upgrading the motherboard to MSI Mortar B450 M-ATX Motherboard.
    The included Biostar motherboard isn’t sold retail in Aus plus the MSI is better.
    
    Upgrade the ram to 3200mhz cause it’s only $29.
    
    Everything else you could do yourself easily, like extra storage.
    
    Should last you many years.

Is there an option to have the PC shipped un-assembled with the components in their original packaging? If so, would there be any extra cost?

Cheers!
- Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 23/01/2020 - 11:14
  
  To request your system unassembled, just enter SHIP UNASSEMBLED in the Notes field on the Cart page before Checkout. Please note that our 1 year assembled system warranty will not apply to the system you have assembled, as we did not assemble it, but component manufacturer warranties will apply and we will assist with these if required. Regarding packaging, we will ship components as we receive them; some have retail packaging, some come to us as OEM/bulk packaging, so we will securely package those for transport.

also, never done liquid cooling. I know heat transfer is better, but what's the chances of failure?
