How do I connect the cables with my AIO? I have a Aerocool Mirage 120 and a Gigabyte B450m DS3H V2 motherboard. I also have a cooler master case which has two ARGB fans, connected to a triple spliter which is connected to the System fan connector. Then, the AIO has a female 3 pin connector coming from the pump, a 3 pin ARGB male connector, a 3 pin female ARGB connector, and a SATA cable, which I already know how to connect. From the radiator, there is a 4 pin female cable, and a 3 pin ARGB female cable. The motherboard has one 4 pin System Fan connector, a 4 pin LED CPU connector, and a 4 pin CPU fan connector. How should I connect all the cables? Should I buy any adaptors? Im getting crazy with so many different cables with similar names and barely any tutorials for my exact configuration of motherboard and AIO.

my PC boots up after plugging in i ve recently bought a new motherboard b450 gaming plus max for my ryzen 3600. pretty often my pc boots up after i plug in without touching a case's switcher. is it fine? what should i do? btw i already checked bios settings they re okay. i don t think it is my power supply (CoolerMaster MWE Bronze 600W V2) cause i ve been using it for my motherboard z170 with i7 6700 before buying the new ones but sometimes it boots up without the aforementioned problem (when i plug it in immediately after 5 minutes of being off) there re bios latest drivers pic this is my current one pic is beta version recommended to upgrade as the others? maybe i should upgrade? i have RAM Kingston HyperX FURY Black HX436C17FB3K2 16 16 GB and set its timings like that 16 19 19 19 39 (stable) may it be because of that?

Psu I bought for mother bird isn't working, looking for a different one. I bought a MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus Gaming Motherboard from Amazon (yes I do know new egg is better). I also bought ARESGAME Power Supply 500W 80 Bronze Certified PSU (AGV500) from Amazon as well. The motherboard would not boot up at all, no lights, no seblance of working, heck even the psu seemed to not turn on, as it made no noise. I've tripled checked that all parts are working, even replacing my motherboard, and the psu came with a tester to check it diddnt arrive dead on arrival. Thanks in advance, I'm open to giving any other info needed. Tldr good psu recommendations for the msi mpg z490 Edit, cured title, sorry my bad

10400F or 10600KF for an SFF PC Hi, recently I ve built a gaming PC with 10700F and 3070, but for some reason, I m going to leave it in my home and travel abroad for quite a time. Because of that, I'm planning to build an SFF PC. After months of researching, I finally picked some candidates for my CPU. Right now, my pick is either with a 10600KF ( 238) or a 10400F ( 154). Should I go spend the extra cash for the 10600KF or should I save money with the 10400F? Is there any significant difference in performance? Thanks in advance! P.S. I don't plan to wait for the Rocket Lake series because Alder Lake is right around the corner, also I don't plan to switch for AMD because a Noctua NH L9i is lying around in my home.

Cpu temperature is too high for csgo When i set Power Saving option in amd software for csgo, temperature is like 60 degrees, when i set Esports Mode cpu temperature is 70 degrees in csgo. I enable Esports mode because i don't want to my fps lock on 100 fps.. Graphic temperature is maybe 7 degrees different. Is it that okay with fabric cooler ?

RAM won't overclock anymore after failed upgrade Hi everyone, So, after I tried (and failed due to chip incompatibilities) to install a new 2x8 pair of Corsair LPX sticks to my existing 2x4 (same model) on my AsRock AB350 Pro4, I'm encountering some difficulties with the frequencies. Now, the 2x8 sticks were removed, leaving my build identical to what it was before the attempt, but here's the thing while before the upgrade my 2x4 sticks were using the MB's in built XMP profile and running well at full 3000 MHz in dual channel configuration, now they do not. In fact, using the same identical settings with the XMP options and using the same channels (A2 B2) ends in the pc rebooting and resetting the timings to 2133 MHz with XMP set to auto instead. Any idea on how to solve? Thank you!

At what point can I declare a motherboard dead? Yesterday I built a little test bench with an i5 10400f and an asrock z490m pro, I BSOD d after 10 minutes of using it. It turned back on and I was installing drivers when it suddenly reset itself and didn t POST since. I was getting the red BOOT Led and I tried everything I know to try, tried booting with 1 stick of ram in different slots, tried clearing cmos, reinstalled cpu, checked all my cables, tried booting without an ssd, tried 3 other gpus. The only thing I didn t try was another power supply, I was temporarily using a 550w so I gave it a rest and decided to pick it back up today, installed a 750w but it just doesn t even power on anymore. No LEDs and no signs of the motherboard having any power whatsoever, I tried 3 different power supplies today also.

2080ti for 600 or wait for 3080 stock? Title. My friend offered me his old 2080ti for just 600, and I'm debating between that and waiting for 3080 to be back in stock. I would use this with a 1440 144hz ultrawide for Warzone mostly. Any thoughts?

At my wits end troubleshooting my 5600x build. Wall of text incoming, sorry in advance, but I need to get as many details in as I can. amp x200B Decided to upgrade my PC about a month ago, ordered a 5600x and a ASUS b550 Gaming A to replace my 6700k and an old asus z270 board. Installed everything with no issues, PC booted up fine, flashed the bios, and then while gaming the entire system froze (black screen, however, PC and all peripherals remained lit up powered on). PC wouldn't reboot or hard power down, so I was forced to turn off the PSU after waiting a few minutes. Was able to reboot and get back into my PC, try gaming a few more times, all eventually leading to crashes. Tinkered with the BIOS a few times, nothing helped. Highest I saw my CPU get temp wise was low 70s. On the last crash, I went to power it back on and boom. Nothing. No power to the PC. Lots of head scratching and part swapping took place (tried a different PSU, different RAM, tried reseating the CPU, checking for shorted screws, cables, etc) and decided it was most likely the motherboard, so I ordered a new one (ASUS b550 Gaming F this time) and returned the old one. New board came in, installed it, everything booted up, so I thought I was right and the issue was in fact the motherboard. Idle temps seemed a bit high, low to mid 40's. Decided to play some warzone and five minutes into gaming, boom. Same same scenario as the first. Was actually able to reboot it this time, so I decided to run some stress tests with Furmark and Cinebench. Cinebench ran with 0 issues, but scored quite low in comparison to other 5600x's, and Furmark immediately crashed my PC. Did the whole spiel again (reseating CPU with new paste, checking for shorts, etc) and it actually worked for about 5 hours while gaming! So I figured everything was fine? Then I went to shut down the computer, and after the screen went dark it just stayed powered on, stuck (similar to when it froze in the past). After that, same exact situation as before with the old board, no power amp wouldn't boot. Got very pissed off and just tore the whole thing apart and put my old components back in. So yeah, I'm stumped. I also noticed the stock voltage on the 5600x was obscenely high (1.4v) on both boards, even with the new BIOS update. Some various things I tried inbetween crashes were Enabling Disabling DOCP Turning off Core performance boost Turned off PBO Undervolting Updating to new bios from ASUS on both boards. amp x200B System 5600x ASUS Gaming F b550 Custom waterloop with EK Supremacy EVO block on CPU Dominator Platinum 3000mhz R9 Fury X amp x200B Any ideas would be lovely. Thanks TLDR New 5600x amp Asus b550 system crashing while gaming. No clue why. Help. Pls. edit some extra details

Case recommendation H510i vs O11D Any pros cons between the 2 or maybe other case I hadn't consider? I'm building a new pc and want to get one of these cases. My main concern is that I already have a few pieces (5800x with a Dark Rock 3, Aorus master RTX 3080) that are fairly big and I want to keep them cool quiet (within reason). Might move to a AIO for the cpu later on. For a little backstory I got the GPU in a prebuilt from cyberpower and the fans are going to 100 from the load screen. I also considered the P3 because it looks cool to me, but with a husky in the house I don't think I will manage to keep it clean. amp x200B Thanks for the advice

Are there any usb 3.2 gen 2 header TO usb 3.2 gen 1 header adapter, not the opposite? Hi! I've got a motherboard with a standard usb 3.0 header for the front panel, and the new 3.2 gen 2 connector, typically used for a usb c front panel connector. My case already uses the old 3.0 header, and I've got an extension cable that has two usb 3.0 connectors that sits in a pci e slot, like this. I would like to use the other header with an adapter to connect it and gain 2 more usb connectors. Of course, I've seen the opposite quite often, but never what I'm looking for, does that even exists? Or can I get the same "extension card" I already have but with a usb 3.2 gen 2 header at the end?

Suggestions on what to upgrade? Hi all I've had my current PC for a few years now but haven't made many major upgrades since. I have some extra money so thought about getting some more up to date components for my build. I'm not really sure what I should think about upgrading first though. Here is my current build (left out the bits I'm not looking to upgrade) Processor Intel i7 4790K Motherboard MSI Z97 Gaming 5 GPU Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1080 RAM 16Gb 1866 MHz DDR3 Any help would be greatly appreciated ) EDIT After taking in suggestions, I'm looking at a Ryzen 9 5900x with a ROG Strix B550 F Motherboard, DDR4 Ram obviously. Keeping the GPU for now as the market is rather crap for them. Any other suggestions or if you feel like my choices are wrong I'd love to hear about it.

Trying to fix an issue with my PC Hello, I have been seeing some issues now with my PC after 5 years of it running like a beast. My problem is that it really seems to be lagging LOTS when starting up some games. With Valorant it seems the first 1 or 2 rounds its lagging quite a bit and might be bottlenecking. With Rocket league the first 2 minutes of the match I'm getting very high ping and it takes a long time to load into the games. Also, it's quite laggy in the main menu. This started to happen after one of my drives stopped working all of a sudden, I'm guessing the cord that was plugged into my E drive got fried as when I just moved the location of the drive it works fine now. (it does make noise now though, not too loud). Recently upgraded to a 2070 and got 8 more GB of ram (total 16GB now). I still have an Intel i5 4690K CPU and I think it might be something to do with that. According to this website, it says that my card is way too powerful for that old of a CPU. (see link) I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this scenario and tell me if possibly upgrading my CPU might help fix this problem or if you think maybe getting another cord that plugs into my Drives might help as well? amp x200B Thank you so much for your time. Have a wonderful day, Denu

First Time PC Builder. Mid tier gaming 1080p 1440p PC build, would love recommendations on parts, specifically a case, PSU, and future GPU upgrade. Last month I finally decided to build my first gaming PC and after looking into how to build a PC and what each part is for, I think I finally settled on my parts, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion and recommendations. This PC is only going to be used for gaming and I already have a PS5 that I plan to game on for new single player games. I'd pretty much be playing my triple A games on the PS5, with some exceptions where a majority of the community is on PC like MHW. I listed my specs below and I included some questions I have that I feel people here could help me with. Thank you! amp x200B Questions 1. Is the PSU I bought too much Wattage for the parts I have currently, and whatever GPU I plan to upgrade to in the future? 2. What case would you recommend and do you know how long the P300 has been out of stock? Is it worth waiting for or should I just decide between the focus g and meshify c? Also, I've seen some warnings that a meshify c might have problems with an rtx 3000 series being too large, would this be a problem if I do get a 3060ti in the future? 3. I'm going to wait to buy a GPU till everything is relatively normal and pretty much at their msrp prices. My GPU budget would be 300 450 so the best I'd buy in the future is a 3060 ti. I'd want my PC to be able run a game like warzone at about 1080p 140ish fps or 1440p low 100fps or near 100 with medium graphics settings. From youtube videos, the 5600xt seems like a good bet once prices are 'normal' but I'm curious if there are better options for my range? (A 3060 ti is my first choice but in case the 3000 series stays hard to get even when most other GPUs return to normalcy, I want a good backup option). 4. Lastly, once I get my upgraded GPU, whichever GPU you recommended in question 3, should I play on 1080 and have mid 100fps or move up to 1440p and low 100s fps for most games? If I play on 1080p I'd get a 24" monitor and if I used 1440p I'd get a 27". amp x200B Specs CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Don't plan on OC so just using the stock cooler) Motherboard ASRock B450M PRO4 (Just bought for 70 on amazon sale) Memory G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3600 CL18 (My motherboard specs on the ASRock website says it only supports up to 3200 but there's no price difference from G.Skill's 3200 version so might as well get 3600) Storage MX500 1TB 2.5" SSD GPU Radeon RX 590 (Will Upgrade Later, a friend is letting me borrow this till GPU shortage ends which is probably never) PSU EVGA 210 GQ 0650 V1 650 GQ, 80 GOLD 650W (Not sure if this is too much wattage for what I have (and whatever GPU I upgrade to in the future), bought it last week for 75 during amazon sale) Case Unsure, but I 100 want a white case as I feel it'd match my room better. Between Fractal Design Focus G ( (I saw someone say the window material used scratches very easy compared to tempered glass, don't know how true this is), Phanteks Eclipse P300 ( (this would easily be my obvious choice but haven't seen it in stock and goes for insane resell price), and the Fractal Design Meshify C. No matter what case I end up buying, I'd buy a third fan since all three of these cases only include two. P.S. I already have my build table ready to go. Thank you our lord and savior THE VERGE.

Need equal or better replacement GPU that is, above all, quiet I have a PC with a RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC graphics card in it. I'm somewhat familiar with building a pc and had to rebuild this one when I upgraded it to work with VR, but the mistake I made was this GPU being quite possibly the loudest GPU ever. If I play any game that has the slightest graphics it sounds like a jet engine in my home office and I have to wear noise cancelling headphones just to hear the game. I tried using a fan speed control to fix it, but anything above 25 speed is loud and 40 is obnoxious. So I'm looking for an upgrade, but not sure how to find one that is specifically quiet. The related pieces in the build Motherboard PSU Case Other considerations Needs to handle HTC VIVE (original, no pro or cosmos or whatever) without stuttering I tend to play lower graphics games, so better graphics card is less important than noise and cost Only care about getting 60 fps, don't need more than that I don't have a lot of money right now so cost is a big factor

Seeking advice on buying network card to test possibly failing hardware For the past couple of years, I've been using the integrated ethernet on my with zero complaints. It worked without any fuss, and I got consistent 940 40 speeds off my gigabit internet connection. The wifi was a bit dodgy, even using 5.0 GHz in the same room as the router ( 640 Mbps max), but I didn't care much about that since it was for a Plan B anyway. Anywho, I've recently been having some peculiar network issues that are really starting to cheese me off ( should you care to see the stuff for yourself). I think I've eliminated the router as a possible culprit, so my next step is going to be to order a replacement ethernet cable and a dedicated NIC so that I can rule out both the existing cable and the integrated hardware next. The motherboard I linked above currently only has a big ol' fat RTX 2080 hogging up slots on it, so I think pretty much every other slot on the board should be available (except for possibly the one right under the two occupied by the GPU it's a big boy who likes to hog space like a cat on your bed) for this test. All that said, can someone recommend a good card that can reliably match the 940 40 Mbps I get got from the integrated ethernet? Wifi capability is a nice extra, just in case I have to stick with the setup, but I am primarily concerned with simply testing to see if the integrated ethernet is indeed the culprit. I haven't had to buy a dedicated NIC in freaking forever, so I don't even know what to look for anymore in terms of manufacturer, slot, capabilities, or anything. Assume giant networking nubbins and that is pretty much me these days.

First Post Upgrading Suggestions for Beefed Dell Precision T3610 Hey Guys! I am quite new to this sub and am very new to PC building. (Never built one but am willing to start out by switching parts out) I landed a steal for this Dell Precision T3610 that I got for 600 with very nice specs. I believe the only outdated part is the CPU and am looking for options on how to proceed with future proofing this. I know Xeon processors are pretty versatile and last a long time but am looking to see what would be the best processor for the setup or I should leave it alone. The PC runs really fast with no issues and is mainly for editing videos with davinci resolve and streaming with OBS PS4 remote play.

All opinions and guidance are welcome. I want this PC to be future proofed till like forever lol. I m not going to be gaming on PC ever, I just use want to keep it as a really fast video editing workstation beast and to connect my streams together. I think the motherboard supports FCLGA2011 socket compatibility so I believe my processor options are limited. Thank you in advance!

PC to USB C Thunderbolt display with connected devices? Hi r BuildAPC ! Longtime follower first time purchaser (well, first time in a long time). I have a weird scenario I have a PC on the way it s going to have a MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI motherboard and a 3060 Ti. I also have a work provided Macbook Pro and LG Ultrafine 4K for both machines. I know it s possible to go from DisplayPort to USB C DisplayPort (DP Alt) to connect to the Ultrafine 4K, but is there a device or adapter setup that can make it so I can use the USB C ports on the back of the montior too? And would a USB C switch work to toggle between them? I m reading about Thunderbolt cards but it seems like that s not an option for this particular motherboard... I present a picture of my dog as payment for your insight

Requesting opinions on this PC build for 1440p gaming I've decided to get back into PC gaming and did a lot of research on these parts so I wouldn't spend extra money on unused power. I watched a lot of YouTube videos testing games comparing hardware specs if it made any difference in the FPS of various AAA games at 2k and 4k resolution. 5600x vs 5800x CPU and 16gb vs 32gb CL16 Ram made no difference in FPS in the YouTube videos comparing the gaming performance. 3070 vs 3070ti vs 3080, for the price of the 3070ti being identical to 3070 in my local market and 3080 being 500 more, I chose to go with the 3070 ti hopefully it doesn't overheat since it uses a lot of Wattage compared to other 30 series cards. If there's any advice or knowledge with your opinion on my build, any insight is appreciated!

Trying to figure out why I don t have better FPS with my 2080 super. Hi, I m trying to figure out why my computer isn t performing optimally when it comes to FPS. Any tips or tricks would be HIGHLY HELPFUL! I upgraded last year to a RTX 2080 Super from a GTX 1660 and I m getting around 100 more FPS from it, my friends are telling me I should be getting more, but we can t figure out what could be the problem. I m currently averaging around 222 230 FPS. (I thought this was good, but apparently my competitive friends are averaging higher with slightly older GPUs) I d like to be at a steady 240 ( with One monitor) hopefully this community can help me out ) My Build Monitor One 240hz with Display port MB MSI X470 (AM4 socket) CPU AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (Eight core) GPU Nivida GeForce RTX 2080 Super RAM 16G PSU 650 W Note I ve installed all available updates and latest drivers for each of my components, I also have a 2 fan Water cooler on my CPU. Gsync is currently disabled. Thanks so much for everyone s help!

CPU red light when starting up and then after turning pc off along with VGA led CPU red light when starting up and then after turning pc off along with VGA led Hi my motherboard(B450 TOMAHAWK (MS 7C02) is reporting with red cpu led light only when im starting my pc (after im in bios then turns off) and then when im turning my pc off it appears again and then just basically everything is without power also when im turning the pc on VGA led appears also after the cpu light. BIOS Version 1.50, 25.01.2019 CPU Processor AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Dont know why everything is looking and working fine.Only thing im registering that my pc crashes sometimes, its not happening regularly

Best choices for 21 9 1440p 144Hz Monitors?(UK) I m in the market for a new monitor, specifically a 21 9 1440p one that runs at least at 120Hz. Does anyone have any good suggestions of their favourite picks that lie in this category that are available in the UK? TIA

Choosing a B550 motherboard for Ryzen 5600X Hey guys. I'm looking to get a new build soon and I'm starting by choosing a motherboard for a 5600X (I'm pretty set on this already tbh, don't need more since I'm gaming mainly at 1440p 144Hz).I don't need X570 since I'm pretty sure I'm just going to plug a GPU and an M2 SSD, no more than that (except a PCI sound card, but that doesn't need a lot of bandwidth). Oh and ATX please! Following this chart, I narrowed my search to those motherboards MSI B550 Tomahawk 160.94 Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro V2 186.39 ASRock B550 Steel Legend 173.64 ASUS TUF GAMING B550 PLUS 137.82 I am going to overclock the 5600X as much as I can, since I wanna keep this build for quite some time (I'm still on an FX8320! haha), so if any of these is better at overclocking please tell me!I don't need Thunderbolt, I don't need WiFi or Bluetooth, a nice amount of USB ports is a plus since I have 3 used up by my Oculus Rift and 2 by mouse keyboard, I don't really need a good soundcard since I'm probably going to use my PCI Asus Xonar DGX soundcard. I've seen the Tomahawk recommended a lot here, and it looks really good, I just wish it had one or two more USB ports in the back, but I can live with that. If I need to plug something else I can plug it in the front or use a hub. The Aorus Pro also looks really good, both VRM and feature wise, not sure about Gigabyte's BIOS and the price could be a little lower. Steel Legend looks good, also seen this recommended here haven't read much about the ASUS TUF B550 Plus, which looks good on paper, but I haven't seen a lot of reviews or opinions on it. What would you guys suggest me? If there are other motherboards in this price range that you think are good please let me know! Thanks!

RTX 3070 not detected on new pc Hello people of reddit, I just finished building my first pc, and everything looked fine until the end when I tried to boot, everything turns on but I'm not getting any display on my monitor.

Will dual channel increase temperatures? I'm going to buy another 8gb stick to my r3400g, I've been using it with only one 8gb ram for 2 months now and realized the immense difference of dual channel, the cpu temps haven't gone past 60 c with those 8gb(using only the cpu fan) I'm wondering if adding another 8gb stick will increase temperatures so I also buy a case fan to prevent going past 60 c

Building my PC this week when GPU arrives, can you help me make sure it'll be done safely (static). I don't have a anti static wristband. Is it safe to build a computer on a camping table if stood on carpet, or should I put a cloth cardboard polystyrene down on the floor table to be safe.

Should I change my AIO rn? Hey guys I got a new i9. However the shop had no 280 or 360 mm AIO avail. so I just got a 120mm AIO with my purchase with the aim of upgrading to a 360 in a few days. Now in this 120mm AIO, am getting idle temps of 39 40C and while gaming(valorant, CS GO, Assassins Creed, etc.) the temps reach about 78 80(sometimes spike 85) but usually stay at 60 70. My ques is, do I need to change my AIO right now or can I use this for some time now? I am using stock clocks(no oc) on my cpu and using default voltage. I was kinda saving for a GPU but if my cpu temps aint ideal, I would spend some of it on an Arctic Freezer II 360mm AIO. But do I really need to or the temps are fair enough for now at stock settiings?

3 EPS cables with new Corsair PSU? Why? Just installed a new Corsair rmx 850 PSU. It has 5 x 8 pin slots. It comes with 2 GPU cables, and 3 EPS cables for these slots. Why in the world would the common person be using 3 CPU 8 pin cables versus 3 PCIE cable? 3 PCIE cables makes so much more sense. In fact, their website literature even says (fully modular with multiple EPS cables) and in the same paragraph section mentions how it s compatible with hot new 12 pin GPUs What am I missing here ?

Xfx 5700 vs nvidia 3060 ti? Sorry me and my friends are arguing over this, I need someone with a bit more expertise to help with this

which one is more sui9table so i just a bought a gaming pc with an i7 9700f rtx 2060 but i saw the same site also offers an i5 10400f the rtx 3060 so i know that the 3060 is more powerful than the 2060 and i plan on using the pc for gaming too but the primary use of the pc would still be editing videos in premiere pro so i guess my question is, would it be worth getting thr i5 with the 3060 since it "only" has 6 cores but 12 threads or keep the i7 with 8 cores and 8 threads

Pc turns on but won t output video I recently built a second pc for when friends come over and it worked fine for about a month but now won t output video. It s got a rx 580,b450, 16gb 3000mhz, ryzen 5 3600, 500gb ssd and a 600w 80 psu. Since it turns on but won t output video I thought maybe the gpu had died. I took it apart cleaned it up a bit and put it into my person rig and it worked just fine. Put it back in the other rig and it s still not outputting video. Any advise would be great and much appreciated

I looked it up online and read some stuff about xmp, but couldn't wrap my head around it. Can someone help?

Ram Compatibility not on QVL list (B550i Aorus Pro Ax) Obligatory forgive my noob question. I'm working on building my first PC and going SFF in an nCase M1 v6.1. I've recently started collecting some parts including CPU Ryzen 5600x Mobo Gigabyte 550i AORUS PRO AX Storage Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2 Tb PSU Corsair SF750 GPU EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 (LOL jk this ain't coming for a long time. I picked the wrong time to start buying!) I thought choosing a memory kit would be easy but I'm finding myself overwhelmed with the options. I keep reading that 4000 is the sweet spot for Zen 3 but most kits seem to be 3600. Then there's the timings. I read things like "Zen 3 likes tight timings" and I'm just pretending I understand what that means. Searching for the model numbers from the kits listed on the QVL comes up with what seems to be obsolete or unavailable products. Meanwhile, shopping and filtering through Memory Express and Newegg, etc comes up with products that don't seem to be on the QVL. Even more frustrating is when I find something that looks like it would fit what I'm looking for (GSkill Trident Z Neo), Newegg lists "Recommended Use AMD X570 Intel Z490". So this leads to a few questions 1 How important is the Qualified Vendor List when matching ram to the motherboard? Am I going to be looking at higher incidences of BSoD if the ram isn't listed? 2 Is there a list of ram that has a "Recommended Use AMD B550"? How limiting is the B550 compared to the X570 with the same memory? 3 Does anybody have any straight up recommendations for any kits given the other components I've listed? Thank you all and apologies if these questions are frequently covered on this sub.

ASUS TUF Gaming Z490 NO Wi Fi A question Hello, I have a quick question about this motherboard (I am not an expert at all). I see that the ASUS TUF Gaming Z490 motherboard has two models one is NO Wi Fi and the other one is WI FI. These are the specs for the WI FI model TUF GAMING Z490 PLUS (WI FI) Motherboards ASUS Global Regarding the NO Wi Fi model, they are the same specs but without the " Intel WiFi 6" thing. If I buy a network adapter, can I use it on the NO WIFI model to have a WI FI connection? I don't know if the WI FI model means that it simply has an adapter integrated or that if I want to use WI FI, that one is the only way to go. My device manager looks like this. There is a clear problem with the Wi Fi driver Thank you very much in advance for your replies.

Ryzen 5 3600 hitting 50 60c on idle and 80c on load Today while I was playing Ark for the first time my pc froze for about 5 seconds and restarted by itself, I got a message saying it was a CPU overheat. I downloaded the program CPUID HWMonitor and watched my temps for my cpu but they are sitting at an idle 55 60c and wont go down, i tried launching ark again and i saw it hit temps of 85c and immediately closed the game as I wasnt sure if it was dangerous. I am currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler. I have tried removing any dust build up on the cooler, checking to see if it was moving or not but its solidly in place. If anyone can help me it would be appreciated.

What GPU and CPU do i need PC will be used for game design so Unreal engine, 3ds max and software like that. I was going for a 5900x and 3080 but don't know if that's overkill? Would appreciate any suggestions and my budget is around 2k. Im going to get a pre built because of the GPU marker. Thanks

Build help Meshify 2 Fan Config Hi, I am going to be building in a meshify 2 this week and want to know how best to set it up using my 5 140mm fans. Does the config in this image seem like it will work well, with 3 front intake, 1 rear exhaust and 1 top rear exhaust? Would it better to simply discard one of the fans and set up with 3 front intake and 1 rear exhaust only? Here are some details for what I'm planning that might be helpful Planning on using the 3 fans that come with the case as the intake and 2 ql140 as the exhaust Using an nh d15 cooler, will there be any clearance issues with the top rear fan? Thanks for your help!

What mistakes should I look out for when choosing a case? What do I need to worry about? Size, fans, lights? Do cases themselves need power? If so, should I be careful when selecting my other parts? This is my current parts list. I don't know if that helps and nothing is set in stone

Need Help With RTX 3090 amp Noctua D15 Build Hello all, so to the point, I've not long built my new PC, specs are as follows Intel i9 10900k Gigabyte oc 3090 RTX Noctua D15 cpu cooler Asus Rog Maximus Hero xii Corsaire Vengeance LPX 3600mhz Corsair HX1000 Phanteks p400a RGB Case Picture of the build I have 2 issues, originally I was getting a bigger case but due to covid stock shortages I ended up getting a phanteks p400a which wasn't a bad alternative. However, my ram clearance isn't great so I've had to raise 1 of my Noctua d15 fans, which is touching the glass side panel. Now, I'm worried it may be pushing down on 1 of my ram sticks, is this a problem? I've not noticed any issues so far (had the build for 2 weeks now) The 2nd issue is, temperature. Now at idle she runs at 26 29. During demanding gaming like Warzone at ultra settings Minecraft with RTX and ultra HD realistic textures, it runs at 55 63, which isn't alarming, but the glass side panel is getting really really hot and I'm worried it may cause a future issue damage, or am I overly worrying? Also am I able to swap the raised fan for a smaller fan on the Noctua D15? And lastly does anybody know of a great fan setup for the rest of my case, I'm thinking 2x 140mm fans up top, one as intake one as exhaust both as exhaust and a small fan at rear as exhaust.

Corsair 5000D Airflow fans Thinking about swapping to a Corsair 5000D Airflow case. Does anyone know if you can side mount three 120mm fans if you opt to use two 140mm fans up front? Or will these block the side fan spaces? It looks very set up for 120mm fans and rads, but all my things are 140mm.

Boutique PC Makers (Falcon Northwest, Digital Storm, etc) The stigma against buying a prebuilt has come down in recent times, especially during a gpu shortage. Prebuilts can be the only way to reliably find new hardware. I've built my own computer before, but now that I have money, I'm gonna let someone build it for me. But when people hear prebuilt, they often think of bestbuy or walmart prebuilts. I'm looking at "boutique" pc makers. You know, high end companies. Who don't just give you a list of sku's but actually custom make the computer for you. I was leaning towards the digital storm aventum x, but I'll be honest, I know little about what makes a good computer good besides the parts. By that i mean, I don't know what cases have good thermals, who has a bad reputation for illogical builds, bad cable management, bad support, using shitty parts, etc. Now i'm leaning towards the falcon northwest talon. For the same parts, its a hair cheaper, and honestly I trust the company slightly more. But I'm hoping you guys can help me. Should i go for one of these? or another boutique builder altogether?

Can someone help me with my build? Hi, I was wondering if the normal 3070 nvida gpu would work well for streaming and recording with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6 core. I am completely lost and don't know lots about building PCs.

What s a good medium for long term storage? I m talking about more than 5 years. I just had 2 hdd failed on me at the same time that lost me some family photos and other files. What I m considering currently. An external hdd that I ll backup my files to then disconnect from the pc until I need it again. Does hdd go bad even when not used? DVD writer. How long does written dvds last? I rather not keep things online as I like things speedy and I don t always have access to fast internet. Also it seem like win10 is constantly writing or moving data around the c drive. Would a regular hdd last longer than sdd? Theoretically if I buy a 1tb drive then partitions it into separate 100gb partitions, and reinstall windows to different partitions as one fails, would that push the hdd life past the 5 years limit?

What kind of frames should I be expecting with these specs? Specs asrock B550 pro4 Ryzen 5 3600 3060ti 16gb RAM 3200mhz 1tb NVME drive Main games would be fortnite (yeah I know, but I like what I like) and rocket league. I know this rig would kinda be overkill for rocket league so I'm not worried there, but I'm basically wondering if I should be looking at 144hz, 165hz, or 240hz monitors based on what this could push for fortnite. If anyone has any insight that would be neat. Thanks.

First Time PC Builder Seeking Help! What's going on to whoever is reading this, this is my first reddit post so bare with me if I sound like a casual. Im looking into building my first ever PC this week coming up. I dont know much about PC's just the basic knowledge one would know going into PC gaming (I've been around them my whole life but never myself owned a PC or built a system). Im trying to spend around 700 800 total on the budget for the system to start and looking to upgrade in the future. I know i am going with a ryzen 5 3600, 16GB of G skill memory, 500 GB Crucial MX500 SSD so far in the build. I was coming to reddit to see what GPU's would be in my price range because I have no idea about GPU's (too many numbers to keep track of lol). Not looking for much more than 1080p gaming for now as my monitor doesnt support 1440p. I prefer to buy new parts as I am doing my first build and dont want to have problems but I know about 3rd party options (FB Marketplacee, CL, OfferUp etc) and will if I have to. If you have any recommendations about other budget parts for a beginner budget PC build I will be happy to look and consider or if you want to warn me about the madness I will go through during the process I'd be happy to read as well! Thank you for your time if you made it this far! Stay safe amp God Bless

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x or Intel i7 9700K? I'm building my first gaming PC and I'm deciding on which of these 2 processors to go with. I've looked at a lot of benchmark sites and videos and the Ryzen clearly seems to be better but its also harder to find in stock. What do you guys think? FYI I plan on pairing it with a RTX 30 series GPU.

Could I turn my old Desktop PC into a Gaming PC?? I am not too sure which parts I would need to replace in order to turn my old desktop PC into a Gaming PC. I am going to leave a link with all of the specs of the PC and I need someone to tell me which parts need replacing. This thing is about 12 years old. Here is the link to all the specs currently on the PC (Dell Inspiron 560)

It s possible to get less FPS performance after over clocking? Recently i tried some overclocks for my ryzen 2600 i was able to get it to 3.7ghz with 1.075volts(stock cooler) ran some benchmarks and street tests and it was very stable, then i went for my GPU Gigabyte GTX 1650 super Dual Fan i was able to get 7000mhz (from 6000mhz base) and on memory clock 2080mhz (from base core clock 1920 on my gigabyte variant) and under volt it to 1.0 mV from (1050 base) also ran ton of bechmarks and everything was stable. Decided to overclock GPU and CPU because i m starting to streaming warzone, but i m just getting 50 70 fps, i do realize my pc isn t high end, but at least with those OC i should get more performance. (Streaming using 720p 60fps, Nvenc New, CBR, keyframe 2, 4000bitrate, preset max quality, high profile, both look ahead and phycho visual tuning checked, gpu 0, max b frame 2, lanczos, stream looking very good and nice, just getting this non acceptable 50 65fps on warzone) Can my OC s lead to worst performance? should i just leave everything at stock CPU 3.4ghz 1.14v and GPU 1920mhz and 6000mhz memory?

Questions regarding Airflow Exhaust location in BeQuiet! 500DX Hi team amp x200B I am a bit unsure how to regulate the airflow in my newly bought BeQuiet 500DX, and I'm having to deal with some kinda hot GPU temps. Here is my build amp x200B Aorus Elite X570, 16GB HyperX Fury RGB DDR4 3200 XFX RX 580 GTS XXX Edition AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with a BeQuiet Pure Rock Slim cpu cooler amp x200B So, right now, in terms of case fans I have amp x200B 3 x Corsair LL120 (120mm) in the front behind the front plate working as an air INTAKE. Unfortunately, the bottom 120mm fan in the front is obstructed by the HDD cage, but the top part of the fan still blows cold air directly towards the underside of the GPU. amp x200B 2 x 140mm BeQuiet Silent Wings 2 on the top of the case working as an EXHAUST. The thinking here was that of course hot air would pool at the top of the case, especially since it's just above the CPU cooler. amp x200B 1 x 140mm BeQuiet Silent Wings 2 in the back also working as an EXHAUST. amp x200B Now the problem questions amp x200B The CPU cooler is set up to pull air from ABOVE and blow it DOWN into the CPU heat sink. But said fan is only maybe 8 10cm below the two top exhaust fans. Is this a conflicting problem? If I look at the build through the glass, it seems like the CPU fan is a bit more to the left. Would it make sense to have the top left exhaust fan blow cold air IN and keep the right one blowing out? Or would it make more sense to switch the CPU fan to the bottom blowing air UP into the sink? The problem here is that the fan would be almost directly above the GPU back plate, and thus, possibly blow hot GPU air into the sink? amp x200B GPU works well under load (75C at around 60 65 RPM) but it's kinda loud, so I was hoping by creating a maximal frosty interior atmosphere, I could keep the same performance but decrease RPM. Is this even doable or would the results be negligible? amp x200B Any advice, suggestions? Basically I'm trying to optimize airflow to the max and possibly get some even better results than I have now (the 500DX is really a fantastic case)

Be quiet shadow rock slim vs Be quiet dark rock slim I was wondering is it worth the upgrade from shadow rock slim to dark rock slim or dark rock 4, because i have r5 3600x stock clock and temps go to upper 70s almost 80s when gaming, and 60 70 when surfing the web, i have good case overflow, front intake is cm megafllw 200cm and on top side cm megaflow 200cm and one on the back cm 14cm... Thanks in advance

Custom PC is not booting POSTing blank display and 4 Red LED are constantly on So I had a custom setup Core i5 9400F Gigabyte B365M Gaming HD motherboard 8GBx2 Corsair Vengeance 2333Mhz RAM Zotac RTX 2060 6GB graphics Card Kindston 250GB NVME M.2 SSD And 550W Corsair PSU Suddenly two days ago my system stopped booting There was the power LED but no screen I opened up the Case and I could see graphics card fans momentarily switch on and then off The CPU fan turns on and then after some time whole system powers off and loops There are four leds on the underside of my board which (all red) light up constantly but when viewed from to it's a solid red LED line. If I disconnect the cpu power 4pin connector the graphic card fans keep spinning and the LEDs flash twice RAM is working as I have checked it in another PC I bought a exact same motherboard new thinking the motherboard might be the problem but I am getting exact same problem Is it possible the CPU is dead? Or is the GPU more probable to be dead? Any help would be appreciated! PS I tried all the display ports of the card but it's not getting any output

Is it normal for the I O shield to be this far away from the motherboard? Not only it is a bit far from the mobo, it's also slightly to the left. I checked the screws to see if they were loose, but everything seems to be fine and apparently there's no way for me to make the mobo get closer to it or to align with it. I tested the ports (without turning the PC on) and everything fits. If it being a bit farther from the mobo was the only thing and the cables worked just fine, I wouldn't mind, since I'd never look to it. But another thing I'm not sure if it's okay is the fact that those tiny metal things are touching any USB I put there and I'm worried that it can be a problem. Should I worry or is this just fine? This is my first ever build, so I'd appreciate any help you can give me! If it helps, the case is Matrexx 55 Mesh and the mobo is Asus Tuf Gaming B550M Plus.

Is 195 a good price for i5 10600K? Looking around, the current price on Amazon is 200 (UK) and I ve found one else where for 195. Should I hold out for the price to go down, or should I just send it? Cheers

Can I use my onboard network card AND a PCIe network card (for bluetooth purposes) I built a Hackintosh, but never spent the time to set it up. After almost a year of procrastinating I've decided to ditch MacOS entirely. A part of the Hackintosh process required a specific Wifi BT card if I wanted to use Handoff. I plan on using BT for everything except when I'm gaming. I've heard that using a lot of BT devices at the same time can affect their connection quality. I'm hoping I can have some devices connected to one card, and some connected to another.

Power supply failiure.... psu suggestions Backstory On June of 2018, I built my first rig. the parts are here except, I didnt have the 32gb kit of ram or the 3080. Instead I only had the 16gb kit of trident z and a 1080 strix. During November, I upgraded to a 3080 and installed more ram as well. Everything was running smoothly until yesterday. My screen froze, and I noticed my computer turned off and instantly came back on. However, it didn't reboot, what happened was my screen unfroze and it resumed to my previous game play. This happened a total of two times, more than 12 hrs apart. Then finally, around 8 hrs later my power supply failed. My father let me borrow his old power supply and my computer booted up just fine, which leaves me to believe that my power supply failed. Anyways, I've noticed that psu prices have increased since 2018 and I'm not too experienced with what is good or not anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions on which power supply is good, viable, and durable? I don't want to waste money on a crappy psu and have the risk of frying all my components.

Will be building this build next week, need to know if the build will work or not So i have a build that ill build next week, and i wanna know if the build will get fried, overheat, and have issues such as incompatibilities. I will be using the ryzen 3600 stock wraith aricooler, with 6 sickleflow fans , 3 at top and 3 at the sides, are there any problem? will i be able to play without overheat issues with this build?

Due to the rarity of 3080's I'm looking to update a list. As the title says, the unavailability of 3080s has me reaching out to re build my build list. I've purchased most parts outside the memory and video card. I am looking to set up a PC that can play most VR games(VR chat, Beatsaber, Halflife Alyx), as well as work programs like Blender and Live 2D. I also want to be able to play games like a heavily modded Civ 6, on Huge Massive maps with out it chugging and choking. Along with all this, I'd like to be able to stream the above with a Vtuber avatar as well. Here is the list i'm working off of. I have a Local shop that currently has a RX 6700 XT, and im wondering if that is a viable replacement for the above needs, and if its compatible with all the other parts as well. If not, what available card would yall recommend,

Building first PC YOUR OPINION ON KOLNIN PSU Hi, amp x200B This is my first post to reddit (I am a little late to the game, I know). amp x200B As the title states building my first PC however, issue with PSU still remains. amp x200B First I ordered COOLER MASTER 500w 80 White I canceled this order after reading some reviews and got CORSAIR CV550 80 BRONZE Now after researching even more I came to a conclusion that I want a modular PSU without breaking the bank my eye is set on KOLINK Enclave KL G500FM Modular 80GOLD 500 W at Currys(Huge electronic retail store in UK) is only 59.99 fully modular. amp x200B I started to research about Kolnik and they are actually German company and most reviews even though there are very few state that it is a solid PSU and does not get enough credit. Perhaps someone who owns a Kolnik could share their experience or any advice and opinion will be greatly appreciated. amp x200B Thank you

AMD ryzen 3600 Temp with a Scythe FUMA 2 Ok so i'm using a ryzen 5 3600 (stock clock) with a FUMA 2 cooler and kryonaut paste, my temp runing cinebench r23 for 10 min is 68 C, and xmonero 73 C (ambient t 18 C) to me that seems a bit hot for a dual tower cooler, in a well ventilated case, or is it perfectly normal? P.S also the top of my heatpipes is pretty cool even after an hour of stress testing my cpu, which is odd but i'm not sure...maybe it's normal

What power supply will be good without breaking the bank? So I m updating my pc... I picked out an i9 9900k, gigabyte z390 motherboard, I have currently a gtx 1080 ti (going to upgrade to a 3070 once available), 32 gigs ddr4, 1TB SSD for windows. I ve looked up power supplies and I m not sure if my 750 watt ps will run it or should I get a 850 1000 watt power supply? Any advice would be awesome.. thanks.

Building a pc on uk amazon Nothings in stock right now. Can anyone help with finding good parts within a 750 budget? Want a gaming pc that can easily run 165fps

So I guess TB3 built in doesn't run Thunderbolt displays (like LG 5K Ultrafine)? I bought the MSI MEG Unify Z490i specifically (over other options) because of the Thunderbolt 3 built in port (stupidly) assuming that it would drive a Thunderbolt Display (at least at 4K). But it doesn't seem to work even with updated drivers and I'm kicking myself. Am I missing something? It will connect and drives all the port, audio, sensors in the display but I can't get video working.

How to move only windows from old SSD to new SSD and leave old SSD as just storage? Hi, so my PC is running low on storage and thought I'd buy an nvme SSD since it was on sale, thing is my old SSD is a cheaper Samsung sata SSD and I would like to boot windows from the new nvme SSD since I think it would be faster. I am just wondering is it possible to just move windows from the old SSD to the new SSD while keeping all other files apps in the old SSD and just using that as storage?

Rest of build for rtx 3080 and 5900x Hello, I'm planning on build a gaming workstation pc. The high RAM and storage space are work requirements.

GPU Died on me, any recommendations on a new one? Hi everyone, Unfortunately, my old reliable graphics card has let go, after 7 years, my computer ran flawlessly up until today. I'm going to get a new graphics card, yet I was wondering if you folks had some suggestions in order to minimize the cost by avoiding to replace as many parts as possible. I am open to upgrading, yet I would hopefully like to keep things below 1K CAD in terms of the total bill. amp x200B My current components are MSI Z97 PC Mate Motherboard Aesus GTX 770 DirectCU II OC (Dead) Intel I5 4670k 16GB RAM DDR3 Coolermaster 750 PSU amp x200B If I'm not mistaken I'm going to need to upgrade my PSU unless I put the same card in, i might be wrong but I think I was at the comfortable limit for my psu (I remember at the time I was building my pc, looking at the gtx 780 and realizing i might need a better psu). I don't mind buying a GTX 770 again, although if you have any recommendations for GPUs that are compatible with my components, I'm all ears. It will definitely be an older generation GPU as over 1k will be over my budget for this. I am also open to using a AMD graphics card if it is compatible. Any advice helps, thank you!

Samsung 860 Evo Keeps Disappearing from BIOS Okay so I built my PC in January and have had no issues with anything, except my 860 Evo 2Tb 2.5" SSD... It works great for about a month and then it disappears from BIOS, device management, and windows explorer. Look online, cant find a solution, send it in to Samsung, and they call to tell me it's fine for them and they ship it back and it somehow works again. This happened twice so they eventually sent me a refurbished 860 Evo only for a month later to do it again. I have replaced power SATA cables, changed ports, unhooking it and leaving it out for a week, and powering down the PSU. I'm out of ideas. It doesnt have an OS on it as it's dedicated for games. Any help would be nice because I'm ripping out my hair here. If you want full specs here is the link. This time when it disappeared my computer froze hard core and wouldnt respond to anything. I even held the power button down and still wouldnt shut down. I switched off my PSU to restart it and when I logged back in it was gone. All other times would be when I was away from the computer and it was in sleep mode.

Question about the Mastercase h500 argb My Mastercase only came with 3 standoff screws which isn't wrong according to the manual, but it looks like it kind of has them built into the case. Is it really bad to skip out on standoff screws? Also I can't get my preinstalled io shield to fit

My fans wont light up HELP I have a p400a with the 6 phanteks drgb fans. I connected to rgb motherboard cable that come with the case into a 3 pin argb header on my motherboard but my fans wont light up. Is there something im missing? I daisy chained all of the fans already Edit make sure the sata cable is plugged in all the way

Is 1000 1300 too much for a 2080ti? I keep seeing them for that range, but not sure if its worth it to buy at that price. I currently have a 5700XT.

Non gaming productivity mini ITX pc I'm trying to build a pc for my dad. He doesn't do anything intensive, I just want to get him a good PC that will provide him a smooth experience. He usually likes laptops since he can just slide them away when not used which is why I'm making it mini ITX. My initial thought process was to get a 3400g but the prices for them are quite high at the minute. Would a 10300 be better than 3200g and if so, do all b560 boards support 10th gen? Or is worth looking at a cheap GPU like a gtx 660 for about 50 and getting a different cpu? Thanks for any help

Help, is my setup underperforming? Recently I noticed a fps drop of around 60 fps so I did a benchmark, can someone tell me if this is good or if something is wrong please.

I got a new PSU and it's missing a signal cable Everything plugs into the PC just fine with the new PSU but it doesn't have a signal cable for the power button to work. Are there any adapters for molex or 6 pin that could work to turn everything on?
