Help concerning PSU choice I've been wanting to buy a new PSU so that I can put more than 3 GPUs in my rig (mining gaming) And I live in a country where there are not alot of choices, I haven't found any corsair or EVGA power supplies other than in some prebuilt desktops. I have 3 choices Xigmatek minotaur 850W 80 gold fully modular XPG Core Reactor 850W 80 gold fully modular Gigabyte GP P750M 750W 80 gold fully modular I can get both XPG and Xigmatek for the same price, and the Gigabyte one for USD 20 cheaper. I've only came across bad reviews of the Minotaur, very good reviews of the Core Reactor and some mixed reviews for the Gigabyte one. Anyone knows anything about them?

Best matched CPU for ASUS Strix 1080 ti? I just secured a good deal on a 1080 ti and need some advice on CPU selection. I'm looking for the best value without compromising performance. Single core performance maters more than multi core for what I'm mainly using it for. I haven't bought anything else yet so compatibility isn't an issue. I was originally going to get a Ryzen 7 5800x but some say that's overkill for a 1080 ti. Any and all suggestions appreciated ) amp x200B EDIT My current setup for anyone wondering. Razer Blade 17 Pro Laptop (2019) Intel I7 9700k, 2060, 16 GB of RAM. Upgrading because I want desktop performance and I'm tired of thermal throttling.

Cpu without a cooler for 24 hrs I ve been using my pc for a couple months now and decided to clean off some dust today. I unscrewed the stock AMD cpu fan to clean off some dust without realizing that I needed to reapply thermal paste to screw it back in (which I don t have) I decided to place an order for the Hyper 212 and it s coming tomorrow. I m not planning to use my computer until the new cooler is installed, but is it ok to just leave the CPU exposed without any fan on top for 24 hours? This is probably a dumb question but just want to make sure that this is fine. Thanks in advance

HELP! Spilled water on pc and it turns on but then turns off before it s in Windows OS I spilled some water in the top of my pc near the on button and wiped it right away. I then didn t turn the pc off (I know I m supposed to do that but I didn t) and it was on for like 5 min until it turned off Now when I turn it on it will stay on until I get into the Windows OS then it shuts off again. I took a look inside and there s no residual water in any of the parts, what can I do to fix this?

New motherboard, no screen signal help me Today I installed a new motherboard (ASUS 490 g) with a new CPU (i7 11700 k), a new RAM (Corsair single 32GB 2666) and a new 750W PSU (well its almost a new PC ). It all looks OK but I get no video signal. The fans are working and the compartment with the backpanel is illuminated when I turn on the computer. I have checked the cables. I have tried both with the graphics card (GTX1060) and the motherboards video output (with the latter I also removed the graphics card). I have tried removing the RAM and used my old 2x4gb DDR pair. Any idea what I can try next? I have not removed the CPU. My old was 1151 so I can not check with that unfortunately. Or may it have something to do with my SATA HDD? Any suggestion is warmly welcome.

My mobo doesn't have a network card, what options do I have? The PCIe is taken up by the GPU, I could use a PCI network card but there would only be 3mm between the GPU fan and network card, I cant use an ethernet, is there any other option? My mobo sp Edit I meant to specify a WiFi network card, also I dont have an M.2 slot.

Is Ryzen 3600 CPU obsolete yet? I need a CPU for a new system and have found a Ryzen 3600 for around 200. The numbers on paper look pretty decent with it's 6 cores and boost clock over 4GHz but I'm wondering if it's worth this price since it's a bit of an older processor? I don't want to buy something that will be useless in a couple years. I'm tempted to get something newer instead like a Zen 3 chip or Intel's new gen 11 line but both are very expensive atm.

RTX 3070 under performing? So I just got an XC3 Ultra 3070 (finally) and I dont know what im doing but it seems to be under performing. I installed all the drivers for it, but when i was playing Cold War i played with the recommended specs (all Ultra and ray tracing enabled) and i was barely pushing 60 fps. When I disabled ray tracing i was getting around 120, which with my 1660 super i got between 80 100 (without ray tracing obviously). And my game crashed completely after about 30 45 minutes of gameplay. Im not over heating i dont think, and im stumpped as to why im not getting anything out of this card. My system AMD Ryzen 5 3600 16 Gb Ram Evga XC3 Ultra 3070 240 gb SSD 2 TB HD 750 Watt PSU edit so now Im seeing flickering in my screen. I understand im not going to get top tier performance but something definitely isnt right here. And for anyone who wants to comment like that guy saying asus is better you will be reported and blocked. Im not sure what all i can check here to make sure im getting the most out of this thing cause i know im not

1080p 144hz vs 1440p 144hz monitor for a RTX 3080 I recently got a 3080 and I'm trying to decided between 1080p or 1440p. I want to be able to max out graphics settings and be able to hit 144hz. From what I've seen 1440p wont be able to hit that frame rate with new games with maxed out graphics settings. Would 1080p be the better option for this case? I also play games like Old School Runescape which is a small game window size and I imagine it would be a lot smaller on 1440p unless I scale the UI which I'm not a fan of. I also like to be somewhat competitive when playing FPS games and know smaller resolutions can be beneficial. What should I do? Thanks for any advice!

Advice for buying Hard Drive SSD? Hey guys, so I ve had my 1TB HDD for a few years now and it has failed before, got back to working and now it s starting to make some pretty aggressive grinding, clicking and knocking noises and I fear for my data. I ve never had an SSD so I was planning on getting both a new 1TB HDD and something like a 120GB or 240GB SSD for the OS and a couple programs I use a lot. Looking at the market right now I have a couple questions I d like to ask if that s ok. Should I get a 7200RPM 64MB or a 5400RPM 128MB one? Which is more important, speed or cache? Also why is per example a Toshiba P300 500GB more expensive than a Seagate Barracuda 1TB? (bot at 7200RPM 64MB)? Is this about durability or something? And about SSDs, do you guys think I should worry about specs like reading writing speeds and whatnot? I see they fluctuate a lot between different drives, that s why I ask. Also, I would really appreciate any suggestions you guys have about which HDD SSD to buy. I was thinking about something like a Seagate Barracuda and a Western Digital Green 120GB, because I m not sure I need 240GB since I ll be having the HDD already. Also, what is your opinion on an SSHD? I see the Seagate FireCuda 1TB would be maybe cheaper than getting 2 sparate drives, but it s only 2.5" AND 5400RPM 128MB, and I heard 3.5" is more reliable than 2.5. Thanks in advance!!

Constant hard drive noise activity Hi all, I have build a super silent small form factor PC in a NR200. I want the case on my desk because the desk is an electric stand sit one so it is more convenient when the case is on the desk. The components have been selected for power and silence. 3700X, B550i, deshrouded 3080, all noctua PWM fans etc. During office work IDLE only the CPU cooler fans are active around 300rpm and inaudible. The only noise I keep having is of my harddisk. My PC has 1 M2 drive (kingston A2000 1TB) and an 2.5" Seagate Barracuda of 4TB. The Barracuda also contains my private and work Onedrives. It is just active the whole day and makes a silent bubbling buzzing sound. First I thought is was some kind of coilwine but after a deduction round I found out it is the harddrive. But why is it not automatically turned off? First I have removed moved the Onedrives to the M2 disk (had to remove games () because I thought maybe Onedrive is making continuous requests. That didn't help. It cant be indexing, the disk has been there since early February and my computer is on al lot, doing nearly nothing (office work). It can't be a virus scanner, just have the basic Win10 one. I also made sure I have switched the power setting to "Turn hard disk off after 15 minutes". Plan B is buying a second M2 drive, but thats quite expensive and I like to have a drive with not so much used data on it )

Will my Motherboard limit future upgrades? Hi all, I'm fairly new to the PC world. I'm looking at a build with this specific Motherboard. I want to have one SSD and at least one HDD, however, I'm unclear if the connection types available would allow me to add any hard drives. I thought I was looking for "SATA" connections, but the Motherboard doesn't seem to have any of these connectors? I hope to understand how limited I will be if I want to upgrade or add drives. Thank you.

Fastest RAM you can get ? (real world performance) So I was looking at high end RAM and I was confused to see that theoretical speeds latency don't really translate to real world performance. I am interested to see what people see as the fastest RAM kit available in term of gaming on either Intel or AMD platform. I know its stupid and unnecessary but I'm just curious what it is as you can just easily tell like the 3090 is definitely the fastest GPU but ram it's just confusing.

What is the most accurate way to check memory speed? I built my PC a little over a year ago and I thought i had everything setup correctly since it has been running smooth and the performance is good, but now I'm not so sure. I use AfterBurner while gaming and it always says "MEM 6000MHz" so I assumed each stick was at 3000, like they should be. While checking MSI's website for some audio driver updates, I saw CPU Z and decided to see what it was about. I download and install it and its all good, giving me some cool new info about my system, then I see it. "DRAM Frequency 1499.1MHz." Now I'm concerned. So I restart and go to my BIOS. In the spot where you select the frequency for your memory is selected at 3000, as it should be. Then i dig a little deeper into a tab marked Memory Z, and it says the memory is at 1500MHz, but i had no option to change it on that screen. So I go back to normal windows and check the task manager. It also says memory speed is at 1500. Then I used the CMD window with 'wmic memorychip list full" and that tells me the memory is at 3000. Now I am even more concerned because I'm getting different readings all over. In the areas it says 1500MHz, is that somehow giving me a split reading of one stick or something? If anyone can shed some light, I'd appreciate it.

Ryzen 7 3700x vs Ryzen 5 5600x Hi people, I'm here to ask a question about the CPUs that i've listed above. I am going back and forth between these two the prices in my country are (right now) Ryzen 7 3700x 325 and Ryzen 5 5600x 370 (New) I am upgrading from a laptop thats starting to show it's age but I am wondering, what's better in your opinion? I tend to play at 1080p always and the Zen 3 gains a lot of performance in gaming there, but i also do a lot of work in blender and in other modelling softwares, sometimes stream to my friends on discord so the two extra cores can always come in handy, what would you prefer?

Looking to buy a decent hdr monitor So the last monitor I was using I focused more on the refresh rate more than anything else. For 220 I got a decent 1080p monitor at 144hz, but I noticed the picture quality was lacking and realized I can live with 60hz for a better image. I was hoping to get a decent 1080p 27" hdr monitor this time around for 250. Is that price range too low for what I want or is there something good I can get that you guys would recommend?

Tried to change RAM speed, now PC black screens? Hey all, I decided to go into my BIOS and change the RAM speed to it s supported speed (3200). I clicked save and exit, but now my computer won t do anything after that. It s still on, but nothing is being displayed on my monitor, and my keyboard and mouse don t seem to have any input. Did I do something wrong?

I have bought a 3060 Ti for 700 in my currency. Am I insane? Where I live, since every single piece of hardware has to be imported, everything is expensive. With a dollar, you can buy more than 5 units of our currency. A 3060 Ti costed me 700, and I "panic" bought because I could pay in installments and it was a relatively low price (others go for more than that). Also miners' rush and USA China tariff stuff, which would put even more of a strain in imported goods. Considering all of this, have I made a stupid decision? I am seeking some "comfort" for making this decision.

Quieter components upgrades Hi, I m looking to change some parts inside my rig to make it run quieter but have no idea what else to change. My knowledge on builds and parts is fairly limited but slowly learning more from researching upgrades. Since I bought my PC I ve added 4x Silent wings (2 mounted to case, 2 mounted to the radiator on the x53) and upgraded my PSU to a RMx750 from a 40 600w EVGA. I would ve expected this to dramatically lower the dB however it still sits at around 50dB (NZXT CAM) which is much higher than I would prefer. Ideally I d like to bring this down as low as possible. Upgrades can be anything with no real limit to the price I d just like to see the options as to where I can take this. Here s my current build Note I m not doing this for any reason except I just want to. I m also looking to upgrade to a 5800x once I m back in work.

Using your PC in the sand? At the risk of sounding tremendously silly, I was wondering if someone knows how bad of an idea it is to use your PC in the sand? I mean, not on the ground but in a place with a lot of sand in the vicinity. I've a fairly new build which I don't want to put at risk, but my girlfriend also has a nice place ( caravan) on the beach where I want to be working from when I can. I doubt the filters will be fine enough to stop sand (NZXT H510), but I don't know if it will damage the electronics. My theory is yes, as I suspect it will be conductive, but electronics is my weakness. If the answer is yes, are there other measures I could take? If not, I'll just use a laptop with external monitor but there are some aspects of my PC that I wouldn't mind not missing. I think that some of my laptops already got some dust in the fans, but this might just be in my mind (HP Spectre, ultrathin laptops). Surprisingly Google has failed me, because chips are made of silicon (sand?) and search queries seem to fail me (or Google just got worse). Thanks in advance!

Which strategy is better for building my new PC? Hi, I am trying to decide on when and how to buy my new PC. My old one is an Intel i7 3770K, 32 Gb Ram with a 1080Ti GPU. I've recently bought a 4K monitor. I don't have a lot of problems with my current build, as I am not a competitive gamer, however I'd like to have shorter rendering times, faster AI calculations (deep learning), etc. Also, gaming on 4K is starting to get harder compared to HD resolution (but as I said, it is not my priority). My plan is to but a Ryzen 5900x, with 64 Gb ram, a RTX 3080 or 3090, a M.2 drive. It'll also require a mainboard (leaning for a MSI MEG x570 model) and a case, as it won't fit in my current case, so I'll practically buy a new PC. Of course, the main problem with the build is the astronomical prices of the GPUs, so that's where I need you help. Here are my options (all prices are USD equivalents of the local price I'll need to pay) 1) Buy a prebuilt, slightly customizable PC. A prebuilt 5900x, 64Gb, with 1 Tb drive costs around 4800 USD with a 3080 I'll need to pay 5650 USD if I want the same system with a 3090. I can't choose the cooling system, which will be water cooling (I am used to air cooling), I can't choose the PSU brand (it will be FSP 850 watts). 2) Buy every component separately and build it myself. I can choose all of the components I want and it costs 5940 USD with a 3080, and 6870 USD with a 3090. That's approximately 1000 USD difference compared to a prebuilt system (the prebuilts are somehow subsidized, I have no idea how. Maybe they are using subpar components? They aren't providing any boxes for the components used in the prebuilt versions, so maybe some of the parts are refurbished maybe? Or they are using OEM versions. No sure way to know ). 3) Buy everything except the GPU. With all the parts that I want I costs 2500 USD. Then remove my 1080 Ti, put it in the new build and use it until GPU prices are in the logical range (thinking about paying MSRP). The old PC will be used as a light load non gaming PC, mostly for writing reports, etc, so the built in Intel graphics processor should be enough for that purpose. amp x200B Which options seems to be the most logical? Will I see any improvements without upgrading the GPU?Do I have any chance to but a GPU in MSRP before the next generation is announced, so that I'll waste a lot of the new PC's potential waiting for a GPU? Do you think the prebuilt PCs are an acceptable deal? amp x200B Thanks....

How can I know what is wrong in my pc? I built a pc a few weeks ago, and I have been getting blue death errors since that. There are at least 10 types of error codes, I sought after them but they can show a hundred types of issues.. I also runned memory and hard drive diagnostic without any result. Last time I updated the BIOS, and it seemed like the problem is resolved because hasn t popped up any error for 3 days. But I got an error again (critical process died), and after that I couldn t even start my pc. As soon as I started it immediately popped up this error again and again. Now I replaced both my memory and hard drive. I could reinstall the windows and no more errors for a day now.. Btw I tried this replaced ssd in another pc, and this critical process died error showed up in that config as well. Maybe this ssd was my problem? Or memory compatibility issue?

PC Refuses to Turn On, Stuck in Sleep Mode After like 4 years, my pc started doing this thing where upon pressing power, all the lights and fans turn on and spin and stay on, but my monitor just flashes No Signal for one or two seconds, then immediately goes completely dark with the light flashing on and off like its in sleep mode. All lights on the PC itself stay on and everything, but the monitor decides it s in sleep mode. It will do this for a few days, then magically fixes itself, then starts doing it again after a few weeks. I assumed it was a hardware issue since it was getting pretty old, but then i upgraded every part except the hard drive and gpu and it started doing it again after a few weeks. I would say it s a monitor problem, but occasionally the lights on my mice and keyboard flicker or even just shut off. I guess it could be a Windows thing?? But it never even makes it to the Windows loading screen so idek. Just shuts off after the monitor s AOC logo goes away. Booting straight into BIOS used to be a soluion, but since upgrading parts i cant even get there. I ve tried swapping cables, quintuple checked every connection, swapped input slot, switched from VGA to HDMI to Display port, even tried setting it all up in a different room everything i can think of. I don t have an extra monitor or i would try it. Any suggestions are welcomed. I ll try literally anything at this point my brain is falling out of my head.

Just built a PC but there is no ram detected I used 2 sticks of corsair Vengeance pro rgb 32gb 3200mhz on an Asus b550a gaming with a ryzen 5 5600x and it posts but says there is no ram detected and the boot and ram troubleshooting lights are lit up. I haven't updated the bios but I'm not sure if it was already done when I bought the mobo. Should i update the bios or is there another issue at play? EDIT i have also reseated the ram and the mobo manual says there should be a buzzer making sound if no ram is detected but it's not. However the check ram light is on and it says no ram detected on the splash screen. Boot led means no boot device although there is one it just is empty.

MSI GeForce GT 710 1 GB Video Card Hey guys! Brand new to pc building, and with gpus out of stock everywhere I m looking at options. I want a pc that is functional, that I can eventually game on. In the short term, I m looking for a replacement for my laptop mainly for web dev app dev on. My thoughts are to build the pc I want and use this as a gpu in the short term until I can find the gpu I want, and start gaming from there. This card is in stock and cheap on pc part picker. Would this be a good idea? Thanks!

Replacement for the EVGA 2060? So I have been trying to buy this Graphics Card and have just been overwhelmed with how those prices have skyrocketed. More than double of the MSRP ? So I am coming to the community asking for assistance in determining an alternative Graphics card that will have no issues with my current setup (I own all the other pieces right now). If it could be even comparable to the 2060 for a decent price, that would be great.

Does the exact reference number of the ram needs to be in the compatibility list of the Mobo to have XMP enabled and optimum performance?

PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6 Core Processor Motherboard MSI X570 A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory GeIL EVO POTENZA 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4 3000 CL16 Memory Case Rosewill RISE Glow ATX Full Tower Case Power Supply Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 W 80 Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. Watching youtube 2 weeks back, the machine spontaneously shut down. Would not boot. Power off PSU and back on, nothing happened except a tiny movement of one fan on the motherboard. Decided PSU was bad, so I ordered a new one, same make model. Once I replaced it, things got a little better. Turning on the PSU, I get fan spin from case, CPU and GPU fans for about 5 seconds. Motherboard has error LEDS, and the CPU error LED stays on the whole 5 seconds, while others only flash. Decided it was the CPU (thinking in addition to the PSU, but who knows) Ordered a Ryzen 5 3600, the 3600X wasn't in stock. Got that yesterday, switched the CPU out, but no change. Should I remove memory, GPU, other pieces and keep trying to power cycle, or is my motherboard just dead and I need a new one? If that's the case, I'm going to be out a pc for a bit. Edit I'll update this once I'm sure, but I'm fairly optimistic that I've finally figured it out after more than 3 weeks. After the above, I swapped motherboards (using the new CPU) and still had the same issue. WTF, right? This was very depressing, and I just stopped working on it for a while. Finally, today I started playing with wires, since they were one of the few things I hadn't already replaced. Initially, no luck there, but in my frustration, I disconnected everything but the cpu and motherboard power cables. And I got a different issue. ?!? Plugging in the Power switch wires from the case put me back to power on, then 5 seconds until power off. Tore apart the case and realized that in my initial troubleshooting, I had managed to get the power switch stuck, so that was probably my issue all along (well, after the PSU). New MB and CPU are working, but were probably unnecessary. Unfortunately, I managed to bend my old cpu pins during the last 3 weeks, so I'm waiting for a friend to try to fix them before I rip it apart again and test my original components. TL DR Initially it was the PSU, everything after that was actually a stuck power switch in the case.

Need a relatively cheap pc Hi, I just got a devkit for a console (won t say which one because of NDAs), and it turns out I need Windows to use it. This is a bit of a bummer since I just got a new M1 Mac, so bootcamp isn t an option. So I m in the market for a relatively cheap pc. I do have another use for it my daughter would also use it to stream games like Among Us, Stardew Valley and Sims4 on Twitch. Not the most demanding games so we won t need a raytracing beast, but I m guessing a 300 pc won t cut it. Any advice on what to get? I realise this sub is about pc building, but I d also be interested in pre built solutions and mini pcs, if they are up to what I d need it for. Basically, I want to go as cheap as possible without regretting not spending a little bit more. Thanks!

Is it worth it to put the second fan on my NH D15? I already built the pc and while gaming my ryzen 7 5800x was maxing at 80C and averaging mid 70s. My 3080 was averaging mid 70s maxing 78C. Is it worth it to turn it all off and put the second fan on?

What refresh rate to use? 120 or 170 Hz? Hello I recently bought a new monitor (Gigabyte M27Q) that allows maximum of 170Hz refresh rate. Since I upgraded from 60Hz monitor, I really don't know what to do with the hz settings. Since I guess, in games I will try to aim 120 fps, should I use that monitor on 120 Hz refresh rate or use the maximum it allows? If I run it on 170 will it be a problem in games or will it take too much power away from other components or? Thank you for not laughing on the Q and answering. D

Best possible Intel CPU for 110 I built my first ever computer back in January and since then I've had the computer building bug. My current system was just upgraded with a 2080 and my CPU is a Ryzen 5 3500. I replaced a 1650super and instead of selling it I want to build another PC. I want to build another ITX build like I have now but maybe try Intel. What options used and new are the best for a Intel budget build.

Wait for DDR5 or upgrade now? I was just wondering if you guys think it is worth waiting for DDR5 RAM Support. Upgrading my pc would literally mean upgrading my whole computer. new Zen3 CPU new Motherboard for Zen3 Support NvmE SSD from DDR3 to DDR4 RAM What do you guys think? My current rig is doing okay at the most time. 1440p Gaming is sometimes a bit rough but alright.

Anyone have issues with MSI Z590 MEG ACE Motherboard? I recently purchased the MSI z590 Ace motherboard in an upgrade to the whole system. I installed my current memory into the new motherboard, believe it is 6th gen corsair dominator platinum (4x8) c14 3200mhz. I cannot get the xmp to activate on dual channel, only single channel. I played musical memory and all sticks register in the bios and after pairing them all 1 amp 2, 1 amp 3, etc they all worked with xmp only in the single channel. Is the memory outdated and therefore isnt working xmp on dual channel? Also the first m.2 slot, i have to enable m.2 1 with the 11th gen intel processors. I could not find anything relating to that in the bios. I have two nvme drives installed currently, both register in the bios as installed drives, but do not show up as my storage on my desktop. Any help would be appreciated it. Definitely out of my knowledge base for some of this. Thanks!

Will the 11th gen intel work with LGA 1200 motherboards? Particularly the ASUS ROG Strix B460? Didn't know the 11th gen intel cores are coming out soon and this motherboard I plan to get its pretty nice and in my budget.

I HAVE NZXT H1 LITERALLY IN MY BASKET?! Alternatives????? Hi, my basket is here..... I want a small tidy PC with plenty of power so the H1 seemed perfect. I don't want to faff with cable management so this seemed perfect. Also, PSU and cooler pre installed, amazing. Now with the latest news re H1 I'm thinking I should not buy it..... What alternatives do I have please? If I have to buy separate components please recommend. Also, any compatibility issues with my choice of components so far? GPU is Ryzen 5500XT 8Gb (will upgrade later)

This isn t supposed to be here, is it? So i think I know the answer to this one, but i dont wanna go messing around with it just yet, to me it looks like a piece of paper that somehow got stuck in there, but this isnt supposed to be stuck in the ATX is it?

Buy now and build later? Or buy later? So I'm fairly new to pc building and computers in general. I have a prebuilt windows with a RX5500XT 8GB and a couple sticks of ram popped in to play games with my brothers. (Apex Legends and Warzone). I want to build a new one and plan to have it ready in May. My question is, do I jump on good sales right now and accumulate the build over time? I noticed memory seems to always be on sale, and recently, CPUs seem to be on sale a lot. Will I regret passing these up? I live about 10 minutes from a Microcenter so parts are pretty accessible. What parts may be due for a price drop inbetween now and then? Thanks for any thoughts.

Ram 64GB installed but only 14GB usable? Update 2 Thanks for all the help everyone I really appreciate it. Looks like it's been resolved. My motherboard doesn't support RAM modules bigger than 16GB. I'll have to return it and purchase 4 x 16GB modules A Valuable lesson was learned today. Honestly didn't know this was a thing. Again, thanks for all the help and advice. Update Did not expect this post to get so much attention lol. But thanks for all the help. Here's some more information everyone has been Requesting Running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit Screen shot of my memory Screen shot of my bios Yes, the RAM is installed correctly, I've double checked and you can see and feel that it's installed. We figured out that I need to enable X.M.P to fix memory speed. My motherboard is capable of running 64GB of memory, some believe my mobo only supports 16GB dimms, while it's been pointed out that my motherboard does support my ram as per this website Also, for those wanting to know why I got 64GB, I've started editing videos and running out of memory was starting to get really annoying. I figured since my mobo supports 64gb, I should just get it and not struggle for a bit. I'm planning on upgrading my pc anyway and decided to get the ram first. Hi Everyone, I recently upgraded the ram in my pc to 64GB, however when checking under system it shows that I only have 14Gb of usable ram. Anyone know how I can resolve this? amp x200B I've made sure that the ram was installed in DIMM A2 and B2 as per the manual. I've also checked and I'm using the latest version of the BIOS. Also noticed that the bios is showing my ram as 2133MHz instead of 3200MHz. amp x200B Kinda stumped here and any help would be appreciated. Edit So it's making sense what alot of you have said, will probably need to get x4 16GB dimms.

Dell Precision 5540 can't change display refresh rate while in game (reverts back to 60hz once game is launched) So the dell precision 5540 has an Nvidia Quadro T1000 that actually works pretty well for gaming, however the issue I have is the desktop windows operates on the integrated intel 630, so when I adjust the refresh rate within windows it only applies to the integrated graphics. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the refresh rate while in game where the T1000 utilized. When I check the monitor refresh rate on the monitor itself it says 60hz while in game but 144hz when I alt tab to the desktop. Strangely enough within Valorant it indeed says 144hz under resolution, yet it's only 60hz. Anyone else have this issue? It seems to apply to all games, not just Valorant. Nvidia control panel does not have any display resolution options, unfortunately

PC making really weird clicking clanging sound. Any ideas? My PC that I built 2 years ago, suddenly started making this sound recently which occurs randomly, it doesn't happen often and doesn't affect performance, but when it does it can last a few minutes. I thought it may be coming from a fan filled with dust, but I completely cleaned my pc earlier and the sound still occurs. It doesn't sound good and I've never heard anything like it before, does anyone have any ideas on what the sound could be coming from?

Is it okay to push motherboard while removing 24 pin psu connector So i pushed my motherboard with fingers to remove my 24 pin psu will it damage my mother it was very hard to remove it as motherboard was in cabinet and connector was at edge. finaaly after sometime i managed to remove it but afraid if my motherboarx is good

is my motherboard okay for this build? hi there everyone i"m building my first pc after years of gaming on laptops and consoles the specs im currently considering are cpu i7 10700F motherboard asus B460M RAM 32GB 3200Mhz SSD NVME 1TB (and ill probably install another older SATA HDD of 1TB ) GPU RTX 3070 PSU XIGMATEK 700 80 plus amp x200B the one big downside of this motherboard im currently aware of is that it'll limit the memory to about 2933Mhz but i got a nice deal for those as a bundle so im trying to not make many changes if not very necessary. any tips of things i should be aware of too? some unbalance that i haven't noticed maybe?

3080 Ti New In Box w receipt for 1800 I've just been lurking building a mini ITX LGA1200 build in the Lian Li TU 150 WA, and I'm seeing a legit private seller with a new unopened with receipt 3080 Ti FE for 1800. I never envisioned spending this much for a GPU when I built my main a couple years ago, it was in total 1300 with a 2060S but right now 30 Series are all sitting at above 1000 anyways, except the 3060 which is just bongos. I have the budget room to do this, I just want to know if I'm crazy. I really just wanted to do a 3080 but those are literally this expensive or more right now. Talk me out of this?

Just moved to a new case, PC is killing my GPUs Weird title I know, but recently I moved my setup to a smaller mid tower case from a full tower. The only thing I changed was installing an ID Cooling Auraflow 240 cooler. Installed the cooler exactly how the company said to in their installation video. Everything seemed to work well as I went along, however shortly after I finished the build and booted up the PC the screen went black. From there it never came back on. All I got displayed was a d6 error on my motherboard, which indicates "no output detected." Tried the card in an old build and it did not work. I thought "ok, guess my card happened to die." Put in an old RX 270 and booted up. Ran for about five minutes and same thing. Black screen, d6, no longer working. That's 2 GPUs that have stopped working in the span of 15 minutes. I'm at a loss here because all the parts are basically new. Any ideas?

first build will these parts do the job? First PC build and I feel a bit overwhelmed. Put this list together with help from a friend, but would like to get some opinions here if this will let me play games decently as well as do some coding on. I have only tried playing CS so far as I'm currently using a MacBook Pro. Would like to be able to play other games like Overwatch, Battlefield, CoD, Valorant and new games coming out like New World somewhat decently. For CS anything that gives me a stable fps at 60 120 would be ideal, got no idea for the other games. My total budget is somewhere between 10 000NOK 20 000 NOK, approximately 1200 USD 2400 USD but mostly because I'm purchasing everything in Norway, as well as the GPU.. the build has the GPU I would like to have (I think?), but don't know where to actually get it in Europe or what the price is anymore. Any recommendations for other possible GPU's would be appreciated! Build The case and the motherboard are the hand me downs. Couldn't find the case on pcpartpicker but here is a link to it

Where should I put my AIO? Hey guys, need some help pls. I recently bought a ryzen 7 3800x and I wanted to buy a corsair h100i for it. The thing is, I have a corsair reverse atx carbide. Because of that, instead of having fan entrance on the top, I have it at the bottom, and I saw that putting the pump above the radiator would let air got to the pump and so damage it. So I was thinking of putting it in front of the case, and the two fans that are in front at the bottom, but I m afraid of doing something wrong and messing up with the airflow. So first things first, should I do this? Then, should I put the fans of the radiator pushing air outside or pulling air to the case?

What PCI Ports Do I Have? (Adding Bluetooth to PC) Sorry for the noob question, I know nothing about this. After being told I could add Bluetooth to my PC by using PCI ports, I took this photo.

Advice on first time build (budget 500 700) Hey gang first time PC builder here so still getting a feel for what brands are best for what, and in the interest of not coughing up loads, whether there are better 'value' pieces out there. My suggested parts so far cost GBP 691 , and my budget is between GBP 500 700 (roughly USD 700 1000) . Grateful for any thoughts on any pieces that are better value or fit, any obvious red flags or other general advice. What do I want to use this for? Mainly to game (play things like Assassins Creeds, Tomb Raider, Dota, but also for personal use (browsing, Discord, Youtube Spotify etc.) Would like capacity to store photos and files as well. I'd like the quality to be high, gameplay smooth and the PC to be quiet. I get some of that will be dependent on the GPU though (I'm using one I've been leant until supply improves see below). On CPU though, w ill a 6 core do the job? Aesthetic Something roughly in this style noting particularly the white RGB lights and part see through case. Notes Considering GPU shortages, I am very lucky to have been offered someone's old RX 580 4G until supply improves. I've not included GPU cost in the quoted price I'll just take the financial hit months later when supply improves. In the UK BTW What's the best software to sync up colours on the RGB parts? Will it be an issue that the RGB parts will be by different makers? Will it require installing different softwares or is there some kind of software that syncs them all?

Limping through the gpu shortage idea Finally got around to building my pc and got all my parts except for the gpu, so had an idea to grab a cheap 560ti off offer up for 20 to plug in and try and make getting all my various set up facts done and figure I can screw around on some older games in the library. Portal 2, dawn of War and the like. Any chance this will last me till I move up enough in the queue to actually get a 3070 or probably not.

Pairing old GPU with new CPU I've been thinking about building a pc for quite some time now but was stopped short due to the well known GPU shortages. Everything else in my build I can get quite easily except for the GPU. I was lucky enough for a friend to give me an old GPU though. So this begs my question would it be a bad idea to put this old GPU (GT 730) in a build with a R9 3900x until the newer graphics cards come back in stock? I'm hoping for a 3080 eventually. I know a GT 730 is really old and not very good but all I would do on it would be watch youtube, talk on discord and maybe play lol or csgo at very low settings. Thoughts? P.S. how hard would it be to replace a GPU?

Planning to Add A MSI GT 1030 AERO ITX 2GB OC To my AMD A6 7480 thats the graphics card that i would be getting for my AMD A6 7480. but what do you guys think can i finally run Roblox Minecraft Valorant LoL at 60 FPS? and can i feel a improvement after putting that graphics card in?

Don't make the same mistake I did. Late last year I built a high end gaming pc, I spent weeks on a stock drop discord frantically clicking links until I hit the holy grail. I got a 3080. Even at MSRP, that was a pricey purchase. Too offset some of the cost, I bought a refurbished power supply from EVGA. I got an 850W EVGA refurb from their website for 80, what a steal! Except for the past 3 weeks I've been having random shutdown restarts while gaming, or working, and even idle. After examining event logs, the only possible culprit is a faulty power supply. Now I get to deal with an RMA, and not having an operational computer for a few days. Be wary when buying refurbished, even from a reputable source.

Is there going to be a tariff on parts? I ve been thinking about building a PC for the first time and mentioned it to one of my friends who already built one.

WD Black SN850 "performing below expectations" (20th Percentile) I noticed that "UserBenchmark" reported my WD Black SN850 1TB as performing below expectations (within the 20th percentile) When I went to check my WD Black Dashboard, shows that I am only connected via Gen3 4 Lanes vs. Gen4 4 Lanes My ASUS manual states that each of my M.2 sockets are PCIe 3.0 x 4, but past that, I could not find any literature on helping me understand the various generations for M.2 connection. That being said, I hope that the performance dip is because I am running on an older generation Motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z 390A) that only supports a Gen3 M.2 Connection. If not, please let me know. Also, if anyone has tips on improving performance in other areas too then please let me know as this is my first build so much of this is still new to me. Best, Update 1 Thanks! It would seem the ASUS PRIME Z 390A is only Gen3 compatible! Update 2 Apparently I shot up into the 34th percentile after enabling "Gaming Mode" for the drive performance

EK AIO 360 high temps on a 10700k stock Hey I recently got a EK AIO 360. It was one of the top reviewed ones from Gamers Nexus so I wanted to try overclocking my 10700k with it. I got it setup and it is ceiling mounted in the case as an exhaust in push configuration. When starting up cinebench r23 the CPU immediately goes to 91 to 92 degrees C, although it does remain stable there and can complete the job without thermal throttling, but it leaves no thermal headroom for OC. I was able to undervolt and overclock a bit and get it to 5GHz all core with 1.35 to 1.37v or 5.1ghz all core with 1.4v but the temps do get very high and sometimes thermal throttles. The 360 AIO only seems a little better than my old hyper 212. Is this expected cooling from a 360 AIO? Were my expectations too high for how good it would perform or do I have something wrong with my installation? Graph of cinebench runs, first with default fan curve, second with fans pegged to 100 and pump pegged to 100

I have this beautiful build that may have some thermal issues, please help Hi, I have build my PC in summer. You can find the full list of parts here, but I will write down the specs I think that matter as well. Case NZXT H510 CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU cooler AMD Wraith (the cooler that came with the CPU) Fans the rear and the top fans are outtake and the front two are intake. Given this build I may be having some thermal issues because from time to time the display tuns off and the fans start to spin with their max speed. What would you recommend? I am thinking I either have to replace the CPU cooler with a better one or perhaps do water cooling or change the fan directions (but I am not sure what to change to). Any advice would be helpful. I ran the Ungine heaven benchmark ( and got a score of 3705. During the benchmark the max temps looked like this CPU 70.6 C, GPU 70.0 C, Motherboard Open hardware monitor reports 5 temperatures and the max one was 84.5 C. Also, please note that around three months ago I was having similar problems and I thought it may be due to using the stock pre applied thermal paste that came with the cooler, so I replaced it, but now I am having the same issues. If you may need additional information or any other benchmarks I may need to run please comment, I will run and update the post. Thank you. Build picture I removed the side panel for the picture to be clearer lol.

is it worth upgrading from i9 9900K to i9 10900K at this time ? Hi all, currently using i9 9900K with Z390 Asus ROG Maximus XI Formula, theres a buyer that wants to buy my CPU and Mobo, if I sold it I just need to spend another 300USD to have enough to get i9 10900K and the new Z590 Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero motherboard (skipping the i9 11900K because its a disappointment), could anyone give some opinions? I just concern that 9900K could only last maybe 3 more years and the 10900K with the Z590 Mobo could probably last 6 7 years, if the 9900K can last 5 6 years or more then theres probably no need upgrade for now but I really not sure how many more years can 9900k last. I play some games like WoW, Red dead redemption 2, GTA V, Monster Hunters Iceborne, Assassins Creed series, and waiting for Diablo 4 coming hopefully next year and my current GPU is RTX 2080 Super running at 27inch 2560x1440p 60Hz, currently I am comfortable with the monitor so I dont plan to upgrade for higher refresh which it might lead me to needing to upgrade GPU. Thanks all for spending time reading this.

Build a PC or get a Gaming Laptop? Hi guys. So recently i've been trying to build myself a gaming PC, but due to high GPU prices my 1000 1100 "dream" PC now costs about 2k , so i was trying to select some cheaper and less powerful parts yet it still costs around 1500 1600 depending on the GPU. Even with 6 GB GeForce GTX Super 1660 it costs over 1500 which is a lot tbh. And i was trying to build it with Ryzen 5 3600 something, with 512 SSD and 16 gigs of ram. Obviously a 144 Hz monitor is not included in the pricing, or it'd be over 2300 amp x200B But then today, my friend sent me a laptop and look at these specs Intel Core i5 11300H (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz, with IPU) 16GB 3200 Mhz 512GB SSD RTX 3060 15.6 FHD FreeDOS amp x200B The CPU might be weak cause i've seen i think 12M caches and 5 GHz etc but i still think it's not that weak for a gaming PC. Anyway, the price on this laptop is 1550 , yet i'd have to pay 2500 to get the same PC build, because of additional monitor and the GPU costs a lot more, tho i still don't know how much more powerful is 3060 than 3060 mobile (Laptop version). So yeah, now i don't know what to choose. I have a 22 inch 76 hz monitor which i was planning on using if i was gonna build a PC but now i don't even know, is a laptop worth it? Afaik even the CPU on the laptop isn't available for PCs cause those are all different. My main question is, is the difference in CPU and GPU performance of this laptops for example it 11300 versus maybe PC version of 11th gen, and the difference in 3060 versus 3060 M worth additional 700 800 ? What do you recommend me doing in this case? To me the laptop seems to be much less expensive option but i still don't know, because the PC parts differ from laptop ones and might actually be a lot better not just slightly, because i doubt that x2 x3 pricing difference in laptop and PC GPU CPU's are just for fun. amp x200B Also FYI the PC version of approximately (not same) but close to this laptops build Core i5 9400F DDR4 16 GB GeForce GTX 1660 Ti SSD 240 GB lt This is a PC build and it costs 1650 . Isn't core i5 11300 on that laptop better? And isn't 3060 at least equal to 1660 TI if not a little bit stronger? and even half of that SSD here.. plus i have to get the monitor by myself so add another 300 for a good 144hz one, worst case scenario i'd be using 76 hz 22 inch one of HP i have atm. And yes i didn't include a RTX 3060 PC version but chose another build because with 3060 (PC version) it costs 2100 without the monitor.

Bought new screen and need help So I bought new TV screen and I am a little bit confused if this screen has 60 or 50 Hz refresh rate, here it is LCD TV PHILIPS 43PFS5505 12 So as I checked some websites that sell it some say in the description that the refresh rate is 60 some say 50. I also plugged my ps4 and when I go to the video output settings it says 1920x1080 60Hz but idk if that really tells me the refresh rate of this screen. I know this doesn t belong here to the almighty pc master race section but I reckon you guys might know how to check this.

Is this reasonable? Need help advice with my first build. I am planning to soon build my first system at around 1500. As the new Nvidia 30 series was now launched I originally intended to get a rtx 3070 but that plan is pretty much done for as you all probably know it is really hard to get one. Soon though the rtx 3060 is going to launch and I was hoping to maybe get one at launch. Now I was wondering if this is reasonable with the other parts I have planned to get or if the system is reasonable at all and I maybe should rethink the specs in general CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (I already have this one) GPU RTX 3070 RTX 3060 ti RTX 3060 Mainboard Asus ROG Strix B550 F Gaming Ram Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB SSD Samsung evo 970 1TB M.2 NVMe HDD Any 2 4 TB in the future PCU Be Quiet! Pure Power 11 600W CPU cooler NZXT Kraken M22 AIO Case Corsair 275R Airflow amp x200B Mind this is supposed to be mainly for Gaming, so no video editing streaming. Do you think I should wait and hope to get a rtx 3070 or a 3060 ti? Or if you have any other advice for me like any other parts i should consider or some parts that that don't combine well please do let me know. Thank you in advance!

Generally speaking, does it make sense to pick a higher level of gpu in founders edition than picking a lower level with custom? So let's ignore any shortage issues. Does it make sense to buy a 3080 founders edition instead of a 3070 custom card? I am assuming that the extra cost of a custom card would allow me to buy a higher level card instead.

Asus RogStrix 750w 80 gold certified psu or Corsair RM750w 80 gold certified psu? Planning on upgrading my GPU to an RTX 3070 RTX 3080 RX 6800 XT later this year, and upgrading my power supply with it, which 750w 80 gold certified psu is better? They re both in the same general price range ( 125 vs 140)

GPU on a non gaming PC with Ryzen 5600x. I'm building a pc for programming, coding, and botting, don't want to spend more than 300 400 on a GPU, as I'm not planning on gaming. Currently have a 5600x, corsair vengeance 16 GB, B550 gaming carbon mobo. What GPU's would be on that price range and good for this build. Thanks!

Corsair 4000X RGB seems to have extra fan cables? I m doing my first build with a Corsair 4000X RGB case and it seems to have extra cables coming from the built in rgb fans. There are six cables coming from the fans, three which came plugged into the lighting controller and three that came loose. They aren t for the I O panel. Where should they go?
