I really need some help with choosing a chair I've read the as advertised "gaming" chairs are usually overpriced and not that good , and that i should look for an office chair. I've seen the markus and the jarvfajallet be mentioned but that's about it i don't think the markus will suit me because of the non adjustable headrest and armrests. And the jarvfajallet doesn't seem appealing to me because the armrests look quite uncomfortable and are again non adjustable. I'm 1m86(6.1feet) and weigh about 80 (176 pounds) kilos. I spend anywhere from 8 14 hours a day behind the pc. Unfortunately my budget is not too big which makes looking for a good chair quite hard. At most i can spend 300 euros , preferrably below that. Are there any good office chairs out there like the jarvfajallet but with adjustable armrests and under 300 euros? (357 dollars , most amazon chairs are not available in western europe though c) Could even be a "gaming" chair , if it's good. Just not stinky sweaty leather or fake leather ) Any help would be much appreciated , i've been searching the web for the past 1 2 hours but can't find anything that might suit me. amp x200B Thanks! amp x200B edit i just came across this. What do you think?

Questions about a few cables Alright, my housing (Montech X1) has some cables im confused about for one reason or another. For background, the motherboard im using is the TUF B450 Plus. First off 2 pin cable that says "H.D.DLED " and 2 pin cable that says "POWER LED " im 90 sure these are to power the RGB fans, and I have found the RGB header, I just don't know what order they go in. The 4 places to plug these in are labeled 12V, G, R, and B. Secondly 2 pin cable that says "RESET SW" and 2 pin cable that says "POWERSW" I assume this is short for reset switch and power switch? But either way I don't know where to put these on my motherboard. Please bear with my questions, I have never built a PC. Ty.

Help with ram overclocking So my ram's box says its a 16gb 3000mhz (2 8gb sticks) and i assume it can clock to 3000mhz. i went to task manager to check performance and it says its running at 2400mhz. i tried going to the bios to clock it at 3000mhz with the xmp profile on and i get a black screen or my pc doesnt boot or i get a blue screen with this error code 0xc0000221. i tried updating the bios to the latest version and setting it to 3000mhz with the xmp profile on but that doesn't boot either. I'm scared of bricking my pc so idk what to do. Im using a ASRock B450 Gaming K4 motherboard and a Ryzen 7 2700x cpu. i tried other higher clock speeds like 2933 and 2800mhz and it still crashes fortnite or shuts down my pc

PC sometimes does not boot up. What can I do? I built my PC around a year ago and sometimes, especially recently, whenever I go to turn it on, it will get power, all the fans and everything turn on but there will be no output to the monitor neither any power to the periferals. When this happens, the CPU light on my MB lights up. I just restart it a couple of times and then it works fine but it still worries me. Any ideas of what it could be?

Upgrading old prebuilt Alienware have I found the right parts? So, I just completed my PC build (hooray!). It was suggested that my sister, who is running on a 8 year old Toshiba laptop, might appreciate having a more capable rig. She enjoys games like Planet Zoo, Cities Skylines, and The Sims, all of which my old PC can still run decently but struggles with larger save files. I thought it would be nice to upgrade it to an SSD hard drive and 16gb RAM before giving it to her, so, while not running like new, can reliably handle what she'll use it for, for at least a few more years. This is the model I'm upgrading. I'm a noob when it comes to hardware and I'm not 100 sure if the parts I found would actually be compatible. As far as I can tell, this RAM ( and this SSD should be compatible. Would anyone be able to verify these parts would work?

I feel confused. I changed my RX 5700 for an RTX 2060 super So, last month I sold my RX 5700 (an xfx super ugly model) for profit to a miner, ok? But I felt like my rx 580 4gb didn't perform as good as I expected, so I impulse bought an RTX 2060 super gaming z. Did I lose something, did I win something? I'm feeling buyer remorse RN lmao My old card RX 5700 (NON XT) Thicc double fan New card Msi Gaming x double fan 2060 super

PC noob looking to upgrade At the moment I'm running a ryzen 3 3100 with a GTX 970. It plays everything fine, but I'm looking to upgrade it to some can run larger games on higher settings. I've got my heart set on an amd 5600x as the new processor, and was thinking at 3060 for the card. However I'm a bit stumped about motherboards or if needs a new power supply cooling. I'll fully admit I'm a complete noob with PCS so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Budget wise I wouldn't want to go too much over 1000 for the processor and card. Any part recommendations? I'm not a streamer or video editor so it just needs to play games at a high frame rate and high resolution. I haven't got a 4k monitor but might get one in the future.

PSU Swap computer won't power on (help) OK so I have a pc that I frankensteined together (trying to put together a mining rig) components Asus b250 MB 2 8gb memory i5 iirc A noctua dh15 Samsung ssd Asus pcie WiFi Seasonic 1000w psu 1 3080 gpu I want to add two more gpus in the future, so I was going to swap a higher powered psu in (instead of adding on another to the board) An Evga 1600w gold gpu I tested the evga psu with the included plug, the psu powers on But when I swap out the seasonic, and put the evga in its place, nothing powers on Even when I just try to barebones it and power on the motherboard cpu ssd, with the evga, nothing Yet when I swap the seasonic back, everything works again Am I missing something??? Thanks for reading Edit SOLVED Well this was silly... For some reason the rig doesn't turn on until I press my power reset button first, then the power button... I don't know why that is, but it works now!

Is this what happens to GPU stocks every time new cards come out? (New to PC building) Seriously can t find a Graphics card anywhere like holy hell. Would love a RTX 3070 but would settle for less but there isn t even 3060 or 2060 s available. Was excited to build my first PC but now I m discouraged.

Questions about upgrading PC due to issues. I have a PC that's around 15 years old. I currently have a 2.9g I7, I'm not sure the series but it's the original processor. It has an Asrock x58 extreme3 which is also original, and I've recently upgraded the video card to a 1050ti. I'm having some issues such as ram not being recognized on the motherboard, and also when I start my PC it always wants to run a disk check on every startup. I have a budget of around 800 dollars, and im looking to upgrade the motherboard and cpu, and maybe grab some more ram as I only have 8 gigs of ddr3. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to pair up my video card with a new board and cpu that's all going to be compatible. I'm hoping that it can handle most games and we'll as dabble in some 3d editing on blender. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Never overclocked and wish to OC my R5 2600 I ve gotten a new 3060ti so I wish to Overclock the CPU. I ve heard that 4.2GHz at 1.35V is stable so maybe that s my target? What software do I need and how do I ensure it s stable and safe?

Need help choosing a monitor Hey guys, so I'm having trouble deciding on a monitor. I don't know whether to go for either 1440p monitor or 1080p. My GPU is a EVGA 2080 super ftw3 so I want to make the most out of that as well too but not trying to break the bank on a monitor. Preferably between 200 350. Just not sure what exactly to go for so some guidance is greatly appreciated.

PC rebooting under load, the PSU is only 1 month old EDIT I replaced the PSU with a Corsair RM750x and ran a similar benchmark to what I did yesterday with the old PSU. I stopped at around 8 minutes without any reboots. So for now I agree to the faulty PSU thing, which is sad, because I just bought the 650W PSU a month ago. But after doing some research, I found plenty of Japanese Reviews for that PSU that said the voltage is insufficient for high loads or professional usage. amp x200B So it's just a shitty brand. Thanks, everyone for helping out. And for anyone else Never buy a PSU whose brand is not critically acclaimed by pc builders worldwide. For me that means not relying on any Japanese products in the future, lol. amp x200B Hello everyone, I came to ask for advice and ideas. Today, my pc started randomly rebooting while playing Star Citizen. Cuts power, comes right back on after about 2 3 seconds. My specs Mainboard MSI H110I S02 (bought 2016) CPU Intel i7 7700 3.6 Ghz (bought 2016) Memory 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 (2 x 8GB Dual Channel) (bought December 2020) GPU Nvidia RTX 3060ti (MSI ventus 2x oc) (bought December 2020) PSU KRPW GK650W 90 from Kuroutoshikou (won't tell you guys much, but here in Japan it's pretty close to brands like Corsair and BeQuiet it's 80 Gold rated (bought December 2020) The issue Random reboot under load. I tested different benchmarks. If testing the CPU at 100 load, nothing happens. If testing the GPU under 100 load, nothing happens. If testing both GPU and CPU under heavy load, after around 8 minutes, the system cuts power and automatically reboots. During these tests, GPU temp never surpasses 69 degrees Celsius. CPU stays at around 63 degrees (71 in case of dedicated CPU test) Background info Originally, it was a prebuilt pc with the mainboard, CPU, 8GB ram, a GTX1050 GPU and a 450W PSU. In December, I replaced GPU and Memory, I bought the new 400W PSU since a minimum of 600W was recommended by Nvidia for the 3060ti and I thought going a little higher can only be better. The system worked like a charm. I run Cyberpunk on ultra graphics at 55 60 fps, play VR games wirelessly with a Quest 2 and 1.5x SS settings. No lag, no Stutter, nothing. 2 days ago, I started playing Star Citizen. Everything was fine. Until today I got 3 random reboots during non heavy scenes in game within a little over an hour. I switched back to Cyberpunk to see if that game creates crashes too with its load. I ramped up the RTX and SSAO settings to "psycho" setting and ran around for an hour, trying to provoke chaos. But the game ran smooth as it gets without reboots. Only if using a Furmark GPU Stresstest while running a CPU stress test in the background, the pc reboots like it does with Star Citizen. amp x200B I could only guess it must be the PSU, but it's barely 4 weeks old and worked perfectly so far. So I hope you guys can chip in and share your thoughts. I'm at wits end. Thanks in advance!

Pc not showing anything on the monitor Hey guys, I just build my first pc today. I plugged it into the monitor and nothing shows. The fans are going though. I checked my ram is clicked in and it is. Thanks

GTX 1660 Super shortage, now what Hey everyone, amp x200B I am building my first pc mostly because my friends switched to pc and the PS5 is taking to long. Problem is GPU's have the same issue as the PS5 (scalpers), i was hoping to get a GTX 1660 Super because it fits in my budget and the performance is good. But it is sold out everywhere. I don't know alot about building a pc so is there a different GPU that is comparable in price quality that is still available? i am in the Netherlands btw so American only places wont work for me. amp x200B Thanks in advance.

Is the RTX 3060 a worthy successor to the GTX 1060 6GB? The RTX 3060 runs about as fast as 2060 super which is close to twice the performance of the GTX 1060 6GB. The MSRP of both cards are kind of similar (adjusting for inflation) although there is no FE 3060 card for some reason. The 3060 TGP is around 50 higher than the 1060 6GB, so that means the perf watt improvement is around 33 (hopefully my math is correct) after almost 5 years. Would this be the (new) normal for the mid range as well? Of course, aside from availability, scalpers, and miners issues, would you still consider the RTX 3060 is a good successor to the 1060 6GB?

Building A New PC, Feedback and Suggestions Needed (Help) Im currently in a dilemma of choosing the GPU, my choices are the ROG STRIX GTX 1660 TI ADVANCED or the ASUS TUF 3 RX 5600 XT EVO this are the only available GPUs in my country that is within my price range. Im leaning towards the TUF RX 5600 XT more, but i have seen a lot of bad reviews about the 5600 XT. I m in need of a computer and this is what s left of my savings, should i risk the 5600 XT or should i just go with the 1660 TI ?

Just got a new M.2 SSD, and I wish to wipe the computer... need help ( Ok so basically I just got and installed a new M.2 SSD. On my PC I now have the new M.2, an old SATA SSD, and a SATA HDD. My windows is installed on the old SATA SSD, and I have important things on the HDD. So the plan is to completely wipe the new M.2 and the SATA SSD, leaving the HDD untouched, and then reinstall windows on the M.2 instead of the SATA. How do I go about doing this?

Ordered a i5 10400, received i5 10600KF I just ordered an i5 10400 with a B460 motherboard and they sent a 15 10600KF by mistake. I am assuming this will still work fine but is just a faster CPU, right? And it looks like KF doesn't have onboard graphics but I have a graphics card so this should work, right? Anything else I need to know?

Any suggestions on the build? I would love to hear them PC Parts Thanks everyone, the budget shouldn't be more than 1100 as i still need a graphic card. I would play fifa on this pc or use it for video editing for the most part. Just for more information my dream gpu would be something similar to a 3060 or 3060ti or lower that would run FIFA and other games smoothly.

Why are GPU's so expensive lately? I was scrolling on amazon and looking for PC parts, since I was looking to build a new pc. I was looking for a graphics card and then I realised that they are either out of stock or selling for a really high price. I am talking 500 for a gtx 1660. I checked other selling websites like eBay, and the same applied there. Anyone got any clues as to why this is happening

Is there any benefit to upgrading from Asus z390 prime a to a Aorus Ultra with a 9900x i have 32gb 3600 vengeance with a Rtx 3070z A noctua air cooler and I don t plan on overclocking. I can get the Aorus pretty cheap just not sure if there s going to be any performance benefits to me?

Can I use my old RAM (DDR3) for my new build? (First time builder!) Hi everyone, I bought Kingston HyperX Fury (2x8 GB) last year in hope to fix my old PC (Dell, Alienware, 8 years old). Now i ve decided to build a new one, and was hoping to use some of the parts of my old PC, like the RAM and CPU fan. I was using pcpartpicker to check compatibility and saw newer motherboards are not comatible with DDR3 RAM. Now comes the question would it be stupid to buy a motherboard that IS compatible with DDR3 RAM, or would I be limiting myself a lot for other parts Other details I already have a power supply (Corsair CXM 450) hoping to use that too, if possible.

pc slow after installing gpu i recently got my hands on a 1050 ti to put into an office desktop (xps 8700) i got for christmas that i wanted to upgrade, however after putting it in and installing the drivers (i forgot to uninstall the old drivers at first but i then uninstalled them) it began running very slow, slower than the integrated gpu almost. i need some help, is it my cpu or something? i m very new to pc stuff too so any help is appreciated! EDIT forgot to mention that my disc was at about 80 last time i checked if that makes a difference

Ideas with a 1070 ti with broken fans So someone gave me a Zotac 1070 ti amp with a broken fans and a bent PCB... I have tested it for a couple of hours and it seems to be fine other than it would vibrate my whole computer. I tried to get some fan replacement but I couldn't get it on my area. I am now thinking of getting some Arctic P12 then deshroud it and use some zip ties to mount it. Would this be a good idea? Or is there anything else cheap that I could do? Edit ghetto fix worked great. The only downside is it is now sags a bit.

I'm confused about different gpu models I'm not sure 'models' is even the word. I was looking at places to find the RTX 3070 (just out of curiosity) and I am confused about the different versions. For example, one will say gigabyte, one msi, and one evga. They all look different but are the same price. Are these just different manufacturers? Is there any benefit to having one over the other?

PC keeps freezing and crashing? Hi all. I ll try and keep this as short as I can with as much info as possible. A few days ago I built my first PC, it posted and everything was fine. A few hours into gaming however it froze up and my pc completely turned off and rebooted itself. I got no error codes, messages or BSOD. Just off, then on. I thought it was weird but brushed it off as possibly bumping my desk and having the PSU plug come loose. Until it happened again, only about an hour later. I immediately went on google and saw that this was a very common issue for faulty PSU s. Without wanting to hurt the PC I turned it off and unplugged the PSU. I called Amazon and immediately got a replacement. Fast forward to today, my replacement comes in and I install it and start gaming. I game for about 3 hours before it freezes up yet again and powers off and on. Still no BSOD or error message. Also, I should add that my temps for everything are good, I don t overclock either besides on my RAM, just to have it preforming at max levels. So I immediately start to run tests. I test for unstable RAM, no errors. I test my GPU, no errors. Until finally... I test my CPU. And, bam, 1 WHEA error. No other info... just that. So I start running a few more tests and that s when my PC completely freezes, but won t turn off. I finally hard reset it and turn it off, unplug PSU from the wall, and sit down. What is going on? I cant find any specifics online about ANY similar issues (ones without BSOD or error messages). I m completely in the dark and I don t want to replace every little thing one piece at a time. Help? EDIT I forgot to mention but I also completely wiped my PC and re installed all the drivers again and that still didn t work.

Need advice on a PC for mid level deep learning assignments Hi, amp x200B I am going to be grad students soon and I need a PC for gaming doing some mid level deep learning assignments. By mid level, I mean that I won't have assignments which will need more than 1 GPU but the assignments won't be so lightweight that I can run them easily on my laptop (i7 7500u 940MX). On my current setup, training a ResNet101 is virtually impossible for large datasets due to only 4GB GPU RAM I have put up the following build. Since it's my first ever build, I wanted to know what you guys think and make sure that I wasn't making some stupid mistakes amp x200B CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT Motherboard MSI B550 Tomahawk RAM 32GB DDR4 (a kit I'm getting from my friend, so I don't exactly know specs) GPU MSI GeForce RTX 3060 (very lucrative for me with the 12GB RAM) SSD 256GB ADATA NVME M.2 HDD 2TB WD Blue SATA PSU 650W (haven't really finalized which one to go with) Here are my questions 1. Does this build make sense ? 2. I also stream a little bit in my free time. So far I've just been doing coding streams but getting a new GPU I'm also thinking some games (GTA V Tomb Raider Minecraft with shaders mostly) Is my system good enough for that ? (1080p all high ?) 3. Currently, my build price is coming out to be around 2000 . Is this about what I would expect if I can't wait for GPU prices to drop in 2022 ? (My coursework starts in about 2 months)

Stuttering playing games. Please help me identify the faulty component Hi, I've built my first pc this week but I have some issues and don't understand the source of them. Playing some heavy games like Control and Genshin impact both run at 60fps but have stuttering, mostly the second one if I run somewhere in the open world map. Stutters disappear if I play them in lower settings but my rig should be more than enough to run them in high settings 1080p.

Where Should I Upgrade My Current Build For Maximum Performance Boost? This is my current build. amp x200B I've had my current build for a few years now, and it's just not performing how I wish it would. My CPU maxes out with a lot of different games such as COD Black Ops Cold War, Apex Legends doesn't run at steady 144 fps, Warzone doesn't run properly, etc. They still run fine, just not where I would like them to run. Every game I play I put my settings as low as possible to max my frames, but it doesn't seem to help much. I wish I didn't have to have my settings so low either. amp x200B Where should I invest my time and money into upgrading my current build? I have a ton of RAM because I stupidly thought that would help. I am thinking I probably need a better CPU or GPU, or both, but my MOBO would have to be upgraded in order to fix this. amp x200B My SSD and HD are also nearly full. I'm not sure why as I don't have a ton of stuff downloaded, but I suspect I messed up somewhere along the line and saved a bunch of stuff I don't need to my SSD and for whatever reason I can't clean it properly. amp x200B How hard is it to upgrade a CPU or GPU or MOBO? Will I need to completely wipe my PC and start from scratch? Any and all advice is welcome, I appreciate this group.

CPU making a whining noise?? I m losing my mind! For over a year I thought it was my PSU making coil whine noises but the noise is actually coming from the CPU area (YouTube video included) Near the end you can hear noise coming from behind CPU. What is causing this issue?? I m losing my sanity, How can I fix it? I have changed my motherboard out recently within a couple of months so it s not the board. I ve been hearing this noise driving me crazy for maybe like 14 18 months. This entire time I was blaming it on my power supply and planned on RMAing it once I stopped being lazy but now I m not sure I should. I turn off all of the fans individually so I know it s not the fans either. I also completely removed my gpu and turned on my pc with the monitor plugged into the motherboard and the noise was still there so it s not GPU coil either

I got a 3090 (from NewEgg) and have no idea what kind it is In an effort to keep from breaking any community rules, lets just say I bought a 3090 and it came with a lottt of other components with it. It has 3 fans on it, so I've ruled out the FE 3090. It has no branding on it as far as I can tell, other than "Geforce RTX." All software and drivers indicate it's the 3090. Is there any way I can get any more specifics on exactly what 3090 I have?

BSOD into suddenly installing windows Hello guys! I need some help. A moment ago my PC BSOD, restarted and loads the Windows setup (to install Windows) page. I've force shut down restart 2 or 3 more times and it still brought me back to the Windows setup page. I finally went to BIOS to check if anything is out of the ordinary and made sure the boot devices are correct. After restarting, again, it finally boots up into windows. Unfortunately these are the only information I can provide. It all happened so fast, yes so quick that I cant even get a glance on what the error was, let alone the error code. I posted this here in hopes that someone has experienced this before and may share an idea on what's going on. If unfortunately no one else experienced this then I've no luck but to pray it doesnt happen again.

Could I get a compatibility check? D Hi! I ve saved my first build after some changes, and I d like some other people s opinions. I m worried about the pins, and I d like to make sure it s all compatible. I ve never built a PC before, so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Discussion How do you decide how much money you want to spend on a PC? I see people saying they want to build a PC, and there is a wide variety of budgets. I'm just curious how people decide how much money they want to spend on a PC. How do you decide whether you want to buy a PC now, or save more money to get something better later? Do you look for components first, and then decide how much you want to spend by having a flexible budget? Or do you have a strict budget and decide the maximum amount of money you want to spend before looking for components? Let me know how you think, I'm curious. Thanks for all replies!

can someone please check over my first parts list? I'm in Australia, budget for the build itself is between 1500 and 1800, monitor will be secondhand from a friend. Created a parts list and would just like some confirmation for my choices. Will be using it for games like GTA V, skyrim, ancestors, a way out, sea of thieves, etc. i'm not very savvy with tech so please dumb it down for me hahah amp x200B PCPartPicker Part List ( amp x200B Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6 Core Processor ( 289.00 Centre Com Motherboard MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard ( 159.00 Centre Com Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 CL16 Memory ( 118.40 Amazon Australia Storage Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ( 79.00 BPC Technology Video Card MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB GAMING X Video Card ( 639.00 I Tech Case Aerocool Cylon ATX Mid Tower Case ( 49.00 PCCaseGear Power Supply Corsair CXM 550 W 80 Bronze Certified Semi modular ATX Power Supply ( 89.00 Centre Com Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64 bit ( 149.00 Centre Com Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total 1571.40 Generated by PCPartPicker ( 2021 04 20 22 36 AEST 1000

Can I use a U.S. power cord in another country that uses 220v but has the same plug? I'm going to Peru soon from the U.S. and a few days ago asked what type of travel converter adapter I would need since they have 220v over there and I don't want to destroy my PC. Someone said that as long as my PSU is auto switching (Which I believe it is, Integra SFX 450w PSU Slim), that I could just get a new power cord that works in that country. Peru has Type A and Type C plugs, and the place I'll be staying has Type A plugs, the same as the U.S. Does that mean I should be able to plug it directly into the wall? There should be no difference in the power cord then right, just the voltage which the PSU should be able to handle?

B560 Mobos with BClk Modification Ability Was curious if anyone had any insight as to which B560 Intel motherboards for upcoming 11th gen might have Bclk modification ability. I think I've heard that MSI MAG boards might have this, but looking through the BIOS manuals of the others like ASROCK etc. I can't really see anyone highlighting it. There is some mention of it in the ASUS 500 chipset BIOS manual, but there's no indication if this means b560 as well as z590.

BE QUIET! Shadow Rock Slim or Pure Rock 2 As the title says which one of these two should I get for my i5 10400F, I might get an i7 10700 non k in the future, both coolers are about the same price in my area.

Microstutter in every game Specs 3800X D15S Cooler EVGA 2070S XC Ultra Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 X470 F Strix RMX750 1TB WD Blue HDD 1TB 860 EVO 500GB 860 EVO 500GB MX500 Did not have any stuttering before doing a clean install of windows (found some malware and just wanted a clean OS). Previously on 1909 and did the clean install on 20H2. Had stutter in 20H2 and did another reinstall of 1909 but still stutter in games. Problem The stutter is random. Happens throughout when I play Division 2, the GPU usage would drop from 99 to 60 75 and cause a one to two seconds stutter. I d also hear the electrical buzz of my GPU running to have a interruption before it recovers as the the FPS and GPU usage recovers as well. It doesn t matter where I was in the game as it happens without a sign. This happens as well in RDR2. In game, I could be look at the sky and then turn my camera and the FPS hiccup happens or I could open inventory and the hiccup still occurs. Spent the last five days troubleshooting. Updated BIOS Tried multiple Motherboard and AMD chipsets Tried multiple Nvidia drivers Turn off and on HPET Ran Memtest86 with DOCP and no errors Checked all the cables and they re secure Installed OS on different SSDs Played games on different SSDs Userbenchmark shows everything good Disabled game bar dvr Turned off gaming mode Checked SSD HDD health and all are healthy CPU and GPU temps were all good during gaming CPU hovers around 55 65 GPU hovers around 65 72 RAM is on the QVL list of motherboard Standby memory isn t leaking At this point I m running out of ideas. Before I did the clean install of windows, I never had to do anything of the mentioned above and games were running smoothly. I m thinking maybe the hardware is damaged somehow throughout the windows installation? On the first attempt the PC was stuck on POSTing and after a couple minute it tells me it failed to POST and reached BIOS. Maybe something happened to the motherboard during then? Or something happened to the PSU? Should I switch the motherboard out is what I should now? I can order one and it ll arrive in a few days. Any help would be great. Please.

NZXT Kraken Corsair Capellix compatibility Hey guys, first time builder here. I saw a white themed build on youtube that I really liked and wanted to attempt. For the life of me I wasnt able to locate an NZXT pump or any other brand like it with an LED Cooler like the NZXT Kraken 73 that came in white. So I have this Corsair iCUE Capellix that I havent sent back yet and was wondering if I could just switch the coolers and hoses? Expensive yes, but my other option which was also on youtube was to tape up and spray paint the radiator white and use and aio sleeving kit. I am sure this will void any and all warranties but seems like my first option would be the easiest and less time consuming. After all its just making sure the hoses get sealed properly right? Could I get an expert opinion? Many thanks in advance

Any problems with this build? I already have the RAM sticks, storage and GPU from previous PC, and am looking to build a new PC for an upgrade. This will be my first PC build without relying on a pre built, so I'd like to some proofreading on the parts I picked. Please let me know if there are any better options! I'm not an RGB person, and need this to be travel friendly (no glass on case), hence the case choice.

Is it possible to plug a monitor into the motherboard and run it off of my videocard?

Mandalorian Inspired Build Hello, As the title states im looking to build a mandalorian inspired build and right now i am looking for a silver chrome case that would resemble the way his armor looks or rather it's color. It needs to have a glass panel, one that the front too if possible. It also needs to support ATX, full sized PSU, and have room for a 280 Radiator. Please suggest as many as you can think of since it is kinda difficult to buy some cases in my country. Thanks in advance guys. This is the way!

Is my reason good enough to RMA? Hi so last year my friend and I built PCs. We both had similar systems and we bought the same GPU (RX580 Gigabyte Rev2.0) but for some reason his games keep crashing and mine never did. We tried endlessly on Radeon software, Afterburner, bios, drivers, everything but his games keep crashing. If his RX580 keeps crashing is this a good enough reason to RMA?

Should I get a 3400g and then a GPU Ok, so many people told me to take a 3600 instead a GPU, but I can't afford both. So here's my question is it a good idea to buy a 3400g, and then buy a GPU when the prices goes down ?

Looking to take my time on a PC Build Hi all, amp x200B I am new to the PC Building community as well as soon starting my first job in tech! My goal is to learn more about PC components and start to plan a build, ideally starting a PC build plan in the next 6 12 months. I plan on selling my current laptop once I get a new laptop for work and just doing personal banking on a TAILS live bootable on my work machine. I feel that'll be a fine, temporary solution, but I definitely want to replace my personal laptop with a personal desktop. I was hoping to get some feedback from veterans and some guidance, but ultimately I am open to any and all feedback. Thanks guys!

Need Advice for Upgrading a Pre Built Hey, y'all. I was wondering if I could get some professional (or at least decentralized) advice for upgrading a prebuilt system. I recently was able to make my first big purchase as an adult of a Lenovo Legion T5 26IOB6 PC. It's got an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11700 that's slightly overclocked, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 1660 Super. Now for some background on myself. A younger me would have to make my own PC, but since for some reason I was thrown into the world and have to deal with shortages, the apocalypse, and everything else, this was not exactly feasible, but now that I at least have a base, I want to upgrade this bad boi. My question, I guess, is... How? There's so much that I have not done before that I really feel like I will mess up. I've deep cleaned PCs for friends and family before, but never dealt with new, sensitive parts. Any advice would really be appreciated. Side note I'm probably going to get into PC building anyways, I'd just rather not have it be a trial by fire. I am very excited to see what anyone has to say. Edit To clarify, I'm very happy with the GPU (it and the CPU were my main reasons for buying this prebuilt). I mostly want to change the case and motherboard and maybe upgrade my C drive.

Which gaming monitor your proud of after buy?

Curved Monitor 4K HDR 144HZ Hi! I'm searching for a good monitor! I'm thinking about flat vs curved, but I want to give curved an opportunity, as I see that a lot of people recommend it...

May be worth the time to wait for a good curved?

Need advice on CPU upgrade Currently, I play games at 1440p resolution and I'm quite satisfied with the performance framerates I'm getting. However, I'd like to get into streaming games on Twitch, but my older CPU doesn't seem to be able to handle the streaming very well. That's why I'm considering upgrading my CPU to get better streaming performance. Current system CPU i5 6400 2.70GHz 4 cores GPU Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 8GB Pulse (upgraded in 2019 Q4) I don't intend to upgrade my GPU anytime soon. I just want some advice on what CPU I should be upgrading to. I've done some research online and I'm considering either the Ryzen 7 3700X or the Ryzen 5 5600X, but I'm open to alternatives. So my goal is to achieve a decent streaming quality. These are my local (Netherlands) prices Ryzen 7 3700X 305, Ryzen 5 5600X 339, I'd prefer to stay around this price range 300 350 EUR. Any advice on a suitable CPU would be nice. Recommendations on motherboards are welcome too.

PC not posting after power outage Yesterday I was playing on my computer when everything suddenly turned off, today the power came back and my PC doesn't post. Fans spinning, rgb is on, but no display output and keyboard, mouse don't light up either. I checked connections, replugged everything and nothing changed. I didn't do any overclocks except D.O.C.P on RAM. Did the power outage do this? Any help appreciated.

Does a GTX 1060 still work fine? I have everything set up for my pc, however, I still don't have a GPU. I was thinking of buying a 1060 just to have a graphics card until (hopefully) the prices of better cards go down. I mainly play games such as valorant, league of legends, and WOW, so I was wondering if it will be worth getting a 1060. Also, an extra question if someone could answer, what are the usual buying prices of this card, and what model is recommended for a full build?

Building my first gaming PC. Aiming to play newer games on high settings. Hi r buildapc I'm planning on building my first gaming pc and was looking for any advice or suggestions you may have. This is the 'HIGH REFRESH RATE ULTRA BUILD' posted on the pcmasterrace website but with some minor part adjustments. My biggest concern is that I had to change the recommended GPU from a 'Zotac GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB MINI Video Card' to a 'MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X TRIO Video Card' due to availability in my country. Will this new GPU still work on the micro ATX motherboard? PCpartpicker didn't find any compatibility issues and I can't seem to find any myself but I thought I should check here to be sure. I've already purchased a 144hz 1080p monitor. I'm aiming to play newer games on high settings at 1080p 60fps, possibly attempting to achieve a higher framerate if possible. Will this build be capable of this? I'm aiming to spend no more than 1800 AUD but can go slightly higher if it's for a significant improvement. PCpartpicker list PCMR build Thank you.

2 day old PC turning itself off every 5 min Hey all, Okay so I got my PC built and running on sat morning, and it was doing great until Sunday night, when I tried to upload some pictures to my google drive. The CPU fan started going really fast for about a second and then it shut itself down, and whenever I would try again it would do the same thing again. It s been doing that today too, for the past 3 hrs or so. I reseated the CPU fan, GPU, RAM, unplugged everything and plugged it in again, etc, but it s not working. When I check BIOS the CPU temp is only at 48 59, so I don t think it s overheating. Please help!

Legacy Hard Drive in New PC Refusing to Boot Without Old Graphics Card Hello all, I recently was commissioned by a family member to help their workplace by replacing an older computer. This is not my first build, and certainly not the first one where I have had to transfer an old hard drive into a new machine, but I have never had these issues before. To start, the PC would boot without issue with the new SSD and only integrated graphics. Once the old hard drive was introduced, the first issue I had to work around was changing settings from UEFI to legacy, and then recognizing that I had to insert the old graphics card for the new system to display. I adjusted the BIOS settings to allow for integrated graphics use as well, just to cover my bases. So, this is where I stopped for the moment to regroup and figure out how I would proceed. From looking at other forums and posts, it seems as though there may be an issue regarding the formatting of Windows for the old hardware on the drive. If that is the case, any help as to how to resolve this through reformatting without ruining the data would be ideal. The system functions as normal, it is an intel to intel shift in CPU hardware, and the only difference is I am trying to run integrated graphics alone without the old dedicated AMD graphics card (which is probably less powerful that the CPUs graphics at this point). Currently, I can only reach windows with the graphics card installed, but otherwise the system functions fine. Thanks in advance for any help.

A few questions about my PC upgrade I think its time for a PC upgrade, since my CPU is the bottleneck in my system and it is quiet old. My current specs i5 3570k, GTX 1070, 16 GB DDR3 RAM amp x200B I looked at these parts and I wanted to ask you guys if you would change something which has a better price performance ratio and if the motherboard is okay for this system. And by the way, VR and 4K gaming does not interest me at the moment so these parts are just for 60 FPS , 60 Hz, 1080p gaming. i7 10700k (second choice would be i5 11600k the i5 is 50 cheaper, i dont know if its worth it) 16 GB DDR4 RAM Corsair Vengeance LP 3200 MHz MSI MAG B560 Torpedo I will still use the GTX 1070.

GPU Temps High and Core clock not boosting with watercooling GPU Temps High and Core not boosting with watercooling I have RTX 3080 ASUS TUF OC with Barrow waterblock My GPU Idle Temps are around 40 48 and 65 68 on load. Normal air cooling was better than this. My core Clock isn t boosting at all and it s not even going above 1400mhz, it s fluctuating a lot. Please help as it s a new pc. I hope it s not because of any physical damage, when I checked it before installing it on waterblock the gpu was working fine but after installing it the temps and clock speed is ruined. Please help Thankyou

Can anyone suggest good budget build for streaming gaming? Hi guys, not trying to go crazy here, but I have had good experience with this sub in the past. I'm looking for a nice build in the 1000 range for streaming or just gaming. I'm not very computer savvy so all advice is appreciated.

Need help diagnosing my pc Hello, Ive been having problems with my pc for a while now and i cant seem to find anyone that had the same problem as me. My problem is that I could be doing whatever on my pc which could be gaming, work stuff, watching netflix and my pc just shuts down on its own as if i lost power in my room. Some of the things I have done to solve the problem is replacing the psu, re connecting all the cables onto my mobo and checking for general software issues. I have also installed the latest bios for my mobo but that didnt fix the problem. Temps are also fine as well since Ive monitored that and nothing seems to be overheating. However this is where I believe my problem is when I go to shut down my pc, it wont shut off. It just stays in like a sleep mode with all my fans still running in the background. On my mobo, it has an ez debug light for diagnosing these problems and just recently it lit up saying my cpu had something wrong with it. My plan for this is just to apply more thermal paste and run the pc as normal until it crashes until I can get a better answer. Can anyone help me with my problem? My specs i7 6700k msi z170a pc mate mobo 16 gb ram geforce gtx 1060

The Asus X570 and a Ryzen 9 5900x should be compatible yeah? Here's the build gt I keep getting compatibility errors when it's just the CPU amp mobo in the build. but everything on google says that's the best mobo for the r9. I should be g2g right? May just have to update bios with my old cpu first?

I am once again asking for your help. Mobo decision I'm trying to decide between the following 3 motherboards X570 AUROS Master X570 AORUS Ultra ROG CROSSHAIR VIII Hero (wifi) I have placed an order for the ROG Crosshair already. But Im thinking of switching. You gotta understand i am not a tech savvy guy. The main reason i wanna switch is because the AUROS Master and Ultra both can fit 3 NVMe M.2 SSDs. I will be using the Ryzen9 5900x CPU, what wpuld be the downside to switching? And if i do, would the Ultra or the Master be the better choice? I know for the master i will need to do a BIOS update. Is that still the case with the Ultra as well?

So I recently built my own pc, and I'm having some concerns about temps. So my build is X570 MSI motherboard Ryzen 7 5800x 16gb Corsair Vegence RAM 3600 3060ti ftw3 It's in a Cooler Master TD500, and the cpu is being cooled by the Cooler Master Master liquid 240mm. But I'm having some concerns, my Ryzen runs pretty warm. During idle before any load I'm roughly 40 45 during most gaming I top out at 75 , and during a Cinebench R23 stress test I thermal throttle at 90 . I know Ryzen is supposed to be safe up until 95 , and I know the 5800x is gonna be a hotter cpu due to a single 8 core CCX chiplet, instead of a dual chiplet found in the 5900x and 5950x, with the same amount of power draw. But I have seen reports of people being able to keep their's relatively cool in Cinebench with a top of maybe 82 max. And a nice cool 62 68 while gaming. Any ideas? Did I buy a shit AIO? Or am I fine to just game at 75 average?

Looking to upgrade this 2014 Build for the FPS game Valorant Hi All. I'm looking to economically upgrade this build to play the FPS game Valorant at decent settings ( 1440p 144Hz Monitor). Am I looking at a full retrofit (GPU CPU MOBO everything else) or should I start with the MOBO CPU or GPU first? Does it make more sense to buy a pre build instead given the GPU shortage now?

Can I 1 to 1 copy a 500gb SSD to a 1TB SSD without redoing my OS install? Title says it all really lol. Was wondering if I get a new 1TB SSD could I perfectly copy everything over and keep using the new SSD as if I just had 500gb more? I don t wanna reinstall all my stuff. Also if I do that would my programs still work or would I need to redirect them all to the new SSD? Even if I kept the same drive letter. Thanks in advance everyone

Planning to rebuild my ATX system into a Mini ITX system, any advice suggestions? Hello, I currently have this build I really want to build a PC myself (this one was a custom build from a boutique) and really like the aesthetics of a mini ITX build. I decided on this build in the well known Cooler Master Masterbox NR200 So the main differences The new Mini ITX motherboard Asus ROG STRIX Z390 I GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard (ROG STRIX Z390 I GAMING) PCPartPicker, but I thought this would make the migration easier The new PSU Cooler Master V SFX Gold 750 W 80 Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply (MPY 7501 SFHAGV US) PCPartPicker as the old one doesn't fit I also ordered additional fans, 3 of these Arctic P12 PWM 120mm PWM Case Fan Optimized for Amazon.de Computers amp Accessories . Furthermore, some velcro ties, a tube of Noctua NT H1 since I'll need to reapply my CPU cooler and a PWM fan hub (I don't know if I will need this but it's good to have). Obv. I'm a noob, I've tinkered with this PC but never fully built one yet. I'd appreciate any suggestions tips hints whatever if you have them )

What do you use for a surge protector? So many posts about the right processor, video card, cooler, etc. What about the surge protector you connect it all to? No one wants to see their hardware fried buy some errant power surge! I ve been running an 15 year old unit for some time now, and I m thinking there is something better out there these days. What is everyone using these days?

Power Supply Good Enough for the Aorus Extreme 3080 Hey everyone, I recentely build a new pc but with an old gpu from my old pc the GTX 1050 (due to no available gpu's) My new PC works amazing although I want to upgrade my GPU once the availability comes back to live.

Here's a link to my entire setup TLDR Is a 850W PSU good enough for a AORUS EXTREME 3080? Thanks in advance Strieb

Best path to upgrade a i3 8100 So, a couple years ago my work i7 MacBook died, I sold its parts and got enough money to build a new system (i3 8100, 12gb of ram, b360 board, rx590). I use my computer for some gaming and audio production and the i3 is definitely showing lack of power and I am planning to upgrade on the near future. At first the idea was to get a i7 8700 or 9700 but the prices are absurdly high right now in my country and buying it new cooler new power supply (currently got a 450w corsair) would probably cost me as much as the system I currently have. So I am considering acquiring an i5. At first I thought of a 9600 (almost half the price of the i7s) but I've read many comments saying it is not worth getting it with a b360 board because of the lack of OC capabilities. What would be the best option to upgrade that I'd really feel on both gaming and audio production? Would a 9400 be a good option? Or the 9600 would still be valid if I could get it for the same as a 9400? BTW, a new mobo wouldnt be an option right now

RGB header adapter for Corsair node core? Hi. I have a Corsair case which came with icue lightning node inbuilt. I can see that it has a USB connector so that I need not connect it to my motherboard's RGB header. But the problem is, I need to connect it to the RGB header so that I do not have to install additional software for RGB control. (I would use the RGB software of my motherboard to control all the RGB lighting) Is there a internal USB to RGB header adapter available? I tried to find it online but all I could find is the opposite i.e. RGB pin to USB adapter( for motherboards which do not have RGB headers) My other option is to simply ignore the lightning core and connect all the case fan RGB headers to the motherboard but this seems like a waste of good parts.

Should I make any changes to this part list? And what are some cheap graphics card just for displaying to your monitor. This is going to be my first pc build. Should I change any parts. Also, what is the cheap graphics card just for display because I plan to get 3080 but since they are not in stock I would have to wait a while. So I just need a cheap graphics card just to display to my monitor for a while til I can get 3080 around MSRP. My budget is 2,000 2,200.
