Your title's there to stay. As for the text, you can edit that. [link](URL) to make a clickable link, if you wish.

Side note: tax% is dependent on province, so you'd be better off not listing it next time ;)

E: punctuation. Few more points:

- 133 is the regular price for a 1TB P1;

- 125 isn't the cheapest we've seen the thing, but it's still on sale;

- The SP P34A80 is a better buy

- Please don't downvote the man (woman?) for asking a legitimate question!

u/jep4444 · 9 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

It's an ok deal. I prefer the Silicon Power P34A80 for about the same price, since it doesn't slow down as much when the drive starts to fill up. Also doesn't have a massive heat-spreader if space is an issue (both are double sided so space may still be an issue in some laptops).

Make sure to look at reviews for the NVMe only (Most, if not all, of those RMA stories involve the 3D NAND) : https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Gen3x4-000MB-SU001TBP34A80M28AB/product-reviews/B07L6GF81L/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_fmt?ie=UTF8&amp;reviewerType=all_reviews&amp;formatType=current_format&amp;pageNumber=1

u/-Parou- · 6 pointsr/buildapcsales

As far as I can tell, it's a rebrand/clone of the Silicon Power A80. the review can be found here.

When you look at the PCB layout of the A80 (shown in review) compared to the Inland Premium's on the amazon listing, the board components are exactly the same - dram vendor, solder points, controller, everything.

The A80 can also be found on amazon for a similar price here - there's even a 2tb model but afaik that one is double sided, meaning it may not fit in some space-constrained slots.

This drive goes on sale every so often.

Ever so slightly slower but double capacity. Faster than the popular 660p.

the latter has been 100$ before once, both were recommended by Newmaxx on this sub multiple times.

u/Brostradamus_ · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Swap the motherboard to a B450 MSI Tomahawk. Way cheaper, similar quality. Unless you are gonna try to overclock a Ryzen 2700X/3700x when it releases to the absolute limit, it's just as capable as the STRIX you selected.
This TX550M psu is better quality + cheaper than what you have.

&#x200B;

Personally i'd either pocket the money saved from those two changes, or upgrade the SSD to an M.2 1TB. This is an amazing deal on a 1TB NVMe drive: https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Gen3x4-000MB-SU001TBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6GF81L/

u/Casual-TryHard · 3 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

Overall it is a decent deal but they still have the Silicon Power 1tb for $145. Not sure if it is tax free or not but it is an identical drive for the most part for 5 bucks less :)

It's just because you linked to your user saved list, the new link is fine.

The X570 pairs well with a high-performance NVMe drive. There is a decent selection of great drives right now. Since you mentioned budget I figured you'd want the best value in that segment. That would be the Sabrent Rocket, although there are other drives that share its hardware like the Silicon Power P34A80 or Addlink S70. The Rocket is the cheapest but you might trust one of the other two brands more (although I'd consider them all around the same quality). This assuming you're looking for 1TB.

It's possible to get the QLC-based Intel 660p or Crucial P1 for cheaper at 1TB and for most things they'll be just as fast. Their performance is not as consistent especially when fuller, however, due to the nature of QLC. They are an excellent value so you may want to consider that - Linus Tech Tips has a video on the 660p (the P1 has the same hardware, more or less). Alternatively there are SM2262/EN drives like the EX920 but this drive is aging a bit and at equal price I'd probably take one of the drives linked above. HP's support is suspect as well.

If you decide to go with the Rocket, be sure to check out Sabrent's site: they have a utility for formatting the drive if required (only needed if you are going to clone the OS to the new drive, and maybe not even then) and you have to register the drive to get the full five-year warranty.

Here's the one that I literally just ordered yesterday after a lot of research: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6GF81L

u/Icklesworth · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I would trade out your motherboard for something like this Asrock for the far better BIOS and onboard ac wifi (even though it looks like you already have a wifi card). It will also let you overclock the 7700k if you ever want to. I would also drop the sound card unless you're using pricier sound equipment

You might also want think about if the difference in speed between the Intel 660p drive and a drive with the Phison e12 controller like this Silicon Power drive would be worth it in your use case

Otherwise, the build looks good for your specific needs (BSD support, CAD). The case is somewhat gigantic, so make sure you're happy with the size

I wanna get a m.2 drive, but there are so many companies that I've never heard of. I want to get the Samsung 970 EVO, but that thing is so expensive compared to M.2 SSDs from Addlink, Sabrent and Silicon Power. The thing is, I've never heard of these companies so it makes me wary to buy these SSDs, especially since I'm planning on making it my boot drive. Do I have anything to worry about? Are these SSDs just as good as the Samsung 970 EVO? Does any one have experience with any of these M.2 drives?

Nah the psu is perfectly fine. Don’t think they’ll be going for a 2080 TI plus you won’t find any sfx with a higher wattage than 600 (Corsair has one for 750w) but it’s expensive. I have a similar set up except the 600w Gold rated on a gtx 980 and an i7-9700k, nearly identical set up

You’re spot on about the m.2.

You can go for a different 1TB ssd and get pretty much the same performance for about $100

I prefer the sabrent 1tb ssd for the silicon power m.2 sata ssd. Intel 660 has much worse speed and it gets worse as it gets filled up. Look at linustech reviews of the 660p. I also like this silicon power ssd. Really good price/performance. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6GF81L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/RidexSDS · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

That's a great choice, yes, and a much better value overall. My mobo actually is defective (Asus x470 Prime) and I had to order another one yesterday. After a ton of research I was between the MSI you just linked and this ASRock, I ended up ordering the ASRock simply because of the looks (my build is white/black themed).

The MSI is probably a better deal bc it has Wi-Fi. I just didn't want an all black mobo :P

If you need advice on an ssd, here's a good deal for a solid 1tb. I have that and a 500gb Samsung 970 that I use for my boot drive. Both are 4+ times as fast as a traditional SSD.

One last thing with the CPU cooler - overclocking isn't really necessary on the new Ryzen chips nor is it that efficient. I went with a NZXT X62 cooler on my 3700x simply for the looks, but there won't be a huge difference over a decent 40$ air cooler. Just another area you could potentially save in if aesthetics aren't your primary concern.

u/rfjohnson · 1 pointr/iBUYPOWER

Ive been digging through the reviews and answered questions all morning and have not gotten a solid answer. It appears the hardware changes over time/availability. Im no expert but Ive been reading up on recent tech for a few days and I think I have a handle on most of the big stuff.

Here is what I have so far...

&#x200B;

Motherboard:

The Mobo on the recent reviews has been Asrock Z390 Phantom 4-IB . apparently the IB stands for ibuypower and the Mobo is not supported by AsRock directly. (and maybe can't use their software? But most of the stuff is managed in the bios if I'm reading it right). The specs for the standard board are here. I have no idea if they match

&#x200B;

https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z390%20Phantom%20Gaming%204/index.asp#Specification

&#x200B;

CPU:

Seems standard. A few reviews mentioned the heat sink was kind of meh.

&#x200B;

GPU:

Looks like the standard RTX 2070 turning card. Nothing unusual from what I can tell.

&#x200B;

Memory:

The memory is 2666 which is not great, but I can live with and upgrade in a couple years.

&#x200B;

Storage:

This was a big one for me personally. The on board 240Gb SSD is SATA. Not horrible, but I hate waiting for stuff to boot.start up and wanted an NVMe drive which would get me through a few upgrade cycles. The mobo supports 2 M.2 PCIE Gen 3x4 drives. There is a 1 TB intel on sale for prime day for $94, but there is a much better option that has much better throughput for only $30 more. I figure if the SSD is fast enough that I can keep the machine turned off when I am not using it because the boot time is fast, the electricity savings alone will pay for the extra price.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6GF81L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

&#x200B;

Obviously I will have to clone the 240Gb drive and Imhoping there will be no problems running the 240Gb SATA drive together with the 1 Tb NVMe drive. There was one review that mentioned an issue along these lines a the asrock website does have a notation on some drives being disabled when others are enabled.

&#x200B;

Here is the quote from the Asrock site:

>*If M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_5 will be disabled.
>
>If M2_2 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_1 will be disabled.
>
>If M2_2 is occupied by a PCIe-type M.2 device, SATA3_0 will be disabled.

&#x200B;

Oh, and if you get an NVMe drive, make sure to buy a screw if one is not included with the card so you don't have to run all over town finding one.

&#x200B;

Heat management:

Multiple reviews mentioned adding fans which is not the end of the world. One mentioned needing to upgrade the heat sync on the board. Make sure to monitor your machine to see if you need to add fans.

&#x200B;

What do you think of that?

u/arien12 · 1 pointr/bapcsalescanada

Looking to upgrade my core components, and likely pick up a 1tb NVMe drive.

So far I'm thinking:

R5 3600
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite
Crucial Ballistics sport 3200 (2x8gb)
Silicon Power 1tb TLC NVMe

I was looking at cheaper motherboards, like B450 and X470, but none of them seem to have the number of back panel USB ports that I need. I also need one that will support Ryzen 3 out of the box, as I'm coming from an Intel platform.

Think I'll see much of a sale on these parts come Back Friday? Is there a better/cheaper option I've overlooked?

Edit: I have a CM Hyper 212 Evo cooler in my current build, would this be ok for moderate overclocking the 3600? Would CM send me a new AM4 bracket for my old cooler?

u/phormix · 1 pointr/bapcsalescanada

If you're a moderate or casual gamer it's not a huge difference.

It definitely makes a difference in my OS load-times. For games, the speed-difference depends on the game a lot.

Some games do a lot of in-between loading, and others load it up-front. A few extra seconds to start isn't a big deal to me, but having a "loading bar" in game as it churns on large resources is annoying, and getting actual lag as it buffers of new parts of a scene/resource is worse. For the latter, an NVME is nice because it can reduce or remove that potential lag.

More speed is beneficial if you're working on large files and/or do lots of edits (i.e. CAD files, Renderings, large graphics).

If you've never had either (i.e. going from mechanical), an SSD alone will be a hugely noticable difference, but if it's a matter of dropping $10-20 for a decent NVME M.2, then go with the M.2

Edit: I'll just add that I have this M.2 in my system. Price-wise it's comparable to various 1TB SSD's with better performance

u/utsubyosoi · 1 pointr/techsupport

So, I assume that if I bought https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Gen3x4-000MB-SU001TBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6GF81L this M.2 SSD, It would work with my laptop. I have another question, once I install the SSD, what happens? Do I need to reinstall windows or something?

u/shiny_roc · 1 pointr/Dell

If you're at all handy, it's really easy to do the upgrades yourself. Here's a YouTube video showing how. The video is for last year's 9570 model, but the upgrade process is identical. Skip the WiFi chip upgrade unless you have specific problems (rare) that can't be resolved with the process I linked above (exceedingly rare).

You have a ton of options for RAM and SSD - so many that it can be quite overwhelming. You have to be careful to get compatible memory, whereas basically any SSD that fits will work. Performance will be roughly the same across RAM kits, but the SSD has more of a performance range. I'll link some examples. Since your link is for Dell Canada, I'll just use Amazon Canada for examples because I know it works.

&#x200B;

Before you pick upgrades

If you can get the screen, processor, battery, and discrete graphics card you want simultaneously, start with 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD and upgrade both aftermarket (go straight for 1 TB on the SSD upgrade). If you can't drop lower than a 512 GB SSD to get right screen/processor/battery/dGPU combination, instead go with the 512 GB SSD and keep that initially unless you know you need 1 TB. You can upgrade later, although it is a little tricky logistically - if you'd prefer to save yourself the potential hassle, upgrading to aftermarket 1 TB immediately is defensible.

Consider starting with 8 or 16 GB of RAM and, if the option is available for the rest of the config you want, a 512 GB SSD. If you get a model with 8 GB RAM, you can pull out the 2x4 GB sticks and put in a single 16 GB stick instead. If you decide you need 32 GB later, you can pop in a second identical 16 GB stick. (Two modules is technically faster than one, but the performance difference is negligible. Don't worry about it.) If the screen/processor/battery/GPU you want only come on a model with 16 GB RAM, just start with that and buy an upgrade later if you need more elbow room. Very few people need 32 GB - an example of that use case is if you're running multiple virtual machines simultaneously and have to have them locally rather than spinning up just what you need in The Cloud.

Similarly, though not to as great an extent, 1 TB is a lot of disk space. Do you need that much? If you don't have hundreds of gigabytes of media you want to store locally or keep >2 AAA games installed simultaneously, you're probably fine with 512 GB. Again, you can always upgrade later, although the logistics are trickier if you want to save all your old data.

&#x200B;

Memory

Crucial is a solid choice. Crucial's website has a nice compatibility picker for the XPS 15 7590, but since they don't handle Canadian customs for you, here's an Amazon CA link (32 GB selected, but you can pick 1x16 instead of 2x16).

&#x200B;

SSD

You need an m.2 2280 NVMe SSD. Nearly any SSD fitting those parameters will work. If you're going to aftermarket-upgrade the SSD, go straight for 1 TB (or more if you really need more). I have heard very good things about the Silicon Power P34A80 (review, purchase) and the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro (review, purchase). Note that the SX8200 Pro is double-sided, but it has been reported to fit and work just fine in an XPS 9570 and so should work in a 7590 as well.

&#x200B;

Display

You didn't ask about this, but since you're going to save a bunch of money on the RAM and SSD, consider whether your use case merits treating yourself to a 4K display for a fair chunk of the cost you just saved :-P

If you need >10 hours of battery runtime, skip 4K. Otherwise it's really nice. Text is amazingly crisp, which I have found lets me run at 175% display scaling and still read comfortably. (Windows 10 default is 125% for 1080p and 250% for 4K). There are a small number of applications that don't do well with UI scaling, which makes 4K a less-than-great choice for those, but you can always drop back to 1080p just while using those applications if you really have to. It'll look pretty good because 4K is an exact multiplier of 1080p.

&#x200B;

Base Models

I'm not listing prices because they change too frequently. Just check the links.

8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 1080p display. At the time of this writing, there's a sale on the next model up that makes it cheaper to buy 16 GB/256 GB, so just do that. If it changes, you have this as a starting point.
16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 1080p display.
16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 4K OLED display. I went with 4K touch (IPS rather than OLED) because I'm paranoid about OLED burn-in. It's probably fine, but if you're worried about it, the IPS panel is theoretically safer and still gorgeous. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the IPS panel is available in Canada without paying out the nose for stock 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD.

For storage, it depends on what you want. Here is a guide to buying SSDs based on what you need it for. Pick the lowest price on the tier you want performance-wise and you'll be okay. If you need to keep an eye out for deals to afford what you want, check out r/buildapcsales (sort by new and refresh pretty often since some stuff that goes on a really good sale can sometimes only have 3-4 units at whatever awesome price they set). For reference, this is the NVME drive I purchased to replace my OS drive at $125 for a 1TB, but that's because I needed one pretty quick. There have been plenty of deals lately for 1TB NVME at $99 or even less!

&#x200B;

This is definitely the right time to buy SSDs and RAM. You can get 2x16 GB for $170 right now, with prices projected to (maybe) fall a very little bit further before flattening this quarter. Just keep those kind of prices in mind if you're trying to match what it came with- it might be cheaper to buy 2x8 GB sticks (and cheaper still if you count the money you would get from selling the single 8 GB stick to someone else trying to match the OEM stick) than to find a match for the single 8 GB stick it came with!

Honestly, even if you were to completely ignore this comment, you'd still come out pretty alright since you didn't pay for these upgrades for the manufacturer. They seem to be stuck at prices from 3 months ago at the beginning of the quarter, and those prices dropped really far from then to now. So even at non-sale prices, you're paying waaaaaay less than the manufacturer wants to charge you. Good luck!

How would this compare to the Silicon Power SSD? I'm trying to replace my laptop's current m.2 ssd. I use it for light gaming and college work ,but I would like the option of transitioning it into laptop for professional workloads without dropping major budget on a Samsung 970 evo.

Any reason to go with this over NVME? Seems like this is only for those that can't use NVME with the price being so close.

The silicon power p34a80 nvme drive is comparable/performs better in certain cases than the 970 evo and it’s cheaper than the sx8200 at $130 1TB

Stuck with Intel because that was your initial choice, didn't want to jump straight into a different platform on you.

Far better performance for your dollar. You will not notice a difference in gaming performance between the 9600k and 9700k because they got rid of the hyperthreading advantage on i7 CPUs. Now the only difference is 6 vs 8 core which again will do nothing in games.

I have this cooler on my 9600k @ 5ghz/1.35v and it keeps it around 55-60c in games. Other options are the scythe ninja 5, dark rock 4, dark rock pro 4. The corsair h100i is a massive waste of money.

Switched ram to 16gb because 32gb will do literally nothing for you if you're gaming and doing office work.

Swapped to a different 1tb SSD with the same performance without the samsung upcharge. If you wanted to get a much faster drive for the same price as the 860 evo check out this and this, but a sata SSD is more than enough. The su800 is a great drive.

2070 with the leftover budget because it is a massive upgrade from the 1660ti. However if you're only gaming at 1080p just stick with a 2060 and save some money.

Swapped to a better PSU, and 750w was overkill. This and the rm650x(2018) are both top tier options.

The mobo is fine but now you have money for a slightly nicer one if you need any extra features or want to go for bigger overclocks.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm considering the Silicon Power 1TB NVMe SSD to replace my aging Sandisk 240GB OS drive to handle some experiments with VMs and such (among other things).

Is there a way to set up some partition of the SSD as a "scratch/cache disk" of sorts to temporarily load very large video files or games directories from the HDD for faster editing or improved perf/loading times, respectively?

Could be cheaper/better if you did not want RGB, but for an RGB build you cant really go lower, overally pretty good, just change drives/power supply and search for another 5700xt, best are PowerColor 5700xt Red Dragon or Sapphire 5700xt Pulse. 3 fan Gigabyte card is fine too.

Go with 1440p, you are NOT on a budget and 5700xt is perfectly capable for it =) Well, it IS hard to find a decend 1440p 144hz non TN Freesync panel, acer 271+ models have issues, otherwise 270 series is great(https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-27-inch-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=Acer+NITRO+VG270U&qid=1568102625&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Case is good, but if you want RGB - front panel is closed, so there is not much place to put it into =)Corsair fans are great if you want fans and a ring, but otherwise they are not great fans and cost a lot, so added another option. And yeah, if you still want to buy corsair fans - just get h510 Elite, would be the same price as h510+corsair fans, looks great and everything is pre-installed.. Otherwise just h510+30$ for fans(option in the list).

for Drives - Ditch HDD, they are slow, noisy and and this build deserve better. Here is your main drive, list does not seem to find it, it's great and reviewed by Tom's Hardware recentlyhttps://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Gen3x4-000MB-SU001TBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6GF81L/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=SU001TBP34A80M28AB&qid=1568101817&s=gateway&sr=8-1 $114.99 for 1TB nvme goodness
Second drive can be anything, tho b450 board only have one m.2 so any sata ssd for 1-2 tb is great, added a great option, it seems on sale right now.

Also added another memory option, same just 3600, if you want.

u/ryguy867 · 1 pointr/buildapc

The only change I’d make is getting a nvme drive as your boot device instead of a sata one, as they are way faster, and those Samsung ones are overpriced. This one would give you 6-7 times more performance for less.

I just bought this one a couple weeks back when it was 154.99
Silicon Power 1TB NVMe PCIe... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07L6GF81L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It's the same as a Corsair mp510, except cheaper price due to brand name. Still comes with 5 year warranty. Bought a $16 heatsink for it too though. Happy with my purchase.

u/Cdawg_DaBeast · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

What are your thoughts on this 1TB SSD?

u/Francischew_zh · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

Depends on what tier of SSD you are looking for though. SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC.

QLC is trashy, basically no better than a hard drive, they have poor rated endurace, yes I'm looking at you, Intel 660p.

>What are your thoughts on this 1TB SSD?

\^ This is a very decent SSD, basically the same exact SSD as the Saberent Rocket ones, just a different branding.

&#x200B;

You could also opt for HP's EX 920/950 SSDs, they have very good performance as well, I usually recommend these.

Samsung is king when it comes to PCIe 3.0 SSDs, but due to their brand name they are often overpriced.

u/QuesodeBola · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

They are extremely similar as they have the same Phison E12 controller.

Buy whichever is cheaper.

u/KingCorbyn · 1 pointr/buildapc

CPU cooler is complete overkill and massively overpriced

I'd recommend using this 500GB NVMe instead.

and since your motherboard has 2 M.2 slots you may as well use them and swap out the 1TB SATA SSD for this 1 TB NVMe SSD.

u/NinfoSho · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Or the Silicon Power? I'm on the fence between these two

I have a new PCPartPicker list in the making with many of the suggestions throughout this comment section, including the this suggested m.2 SSD. For my purposes, and compared to my current build, I'm quite happy with that.
