Buying ARGB CPU cooler and RGB fans, worried they won't sync nicely I plan on picking up the Vetroo V5 (white) ( which has one, PWM, ARGB fan. I also plan on buying this 6 pack of upHere RGB, non PWM fans. I have an ASRock motherboard so I'd use their software to control the CPU fan's RGB. However, I'm worried the colors won't be similar. For example, say I set the CPU fan and memory to white (a specific shade). Then, I use the upHere remote controller and set those case fans to white. Will the color match or be similar enough that you can't notice a difference? Are there any solutions to this, such as an affordable 6 pack of white ARGB fans (that actually look good)? I'm probably just crazy as I'm a perfectionist but I really want everything to match and look good. Thanks!

Updated BIOS for GPU Now temperatures have risen by 5 10 celcius? Hi everyone, amp x200B I'm a bit stumped here. I recently updated my bios for my Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC, and have found the temps to have risen about 5 10 degrees depending on the application. amp x200B Yesterday I was playing Cyperpunk for 3 hours with the temps pleateuing at 69 degrees. Today I am sitting at 73 74 after 10 minutes of play. What could have gone wrong here and can I fix it? All fanspeeds, clocks, etc. are the same. And I even tried manually switching to the silent bios with the same results.

New Build Help, PC light turns on and fan goes on for 0.5 then turns off Hi all, I've built a new PC and it turned on, was working for like an hour and then I decided to restart my PC and it didn't turn back on. I pressed the button again and the light flashes, fans go on for 0.5 seconds spins a tiny bit but that's all that happens. I've removed all the ram 1 by 1, unplugged my gpu, removed the psu pins and put them back in again.. I'm not sure what to do anymore. Mobo Aorus x570 Aorus elite Cpu ryzen 9 3950x Ram corsair vengeance 32gb ram Psu evga bronze 700w Gpu rtx 2060 Would be great if anyone had any ideas of how I can fix this because I've ran out of ideas.

Feeling stupid about cases. Can't figure out what I need. I bought a new intel setup, wanted to add some watercooling. I got this It doesn't fit in my case on the back. And the top is not open. But after searching online....i can't seem to figure out what kind of case it would fit in? Full atx. They all seem to look like mine. 1 fan at the back, solid top. How the f. Do I mount this? Current case

120mm Case Fans mounted upside down I have a Cooler Master ML240 AIO with ARGB fans which works well. But at least one of the fans has developed a vibration at around 1200 rpm (which is often used with auto fan controls) and when I was testing things today I noticed the other one seem to have a similar (although far less pronounced issue). There seemingly isn't enough fine tuning in the fan controls either to sort of code out that range either. This seems to be a bit of a common issue with CM fans it seems and while I could just have a couple of dud fans, it feels like it's the orientation that is the problem. The radiator is mounted at the top exhausting air out the top of the case which means the fans are hanging on their bearings and I wonder if that has any impact on them. I don't know if this orientation damages the fans or if it allows them to move in such a way that causes vibrations, however there are four other CM 120mm ARGB fans in the case mounted front and rear which don't seem to have this issue. Maybe it's just a bad fan, but interesting Being less than 12 months old I can look at getting replacements from the place I bought the cooler, but I sort of need my CPU cooler to be working and while I could re arrange things to ensure that happens, I'm happy enough to simply purchase newer (better?) fans and worry about replacing these ones later. So onto the questions Has anyone had issues with top mounted exhaust fans? amp x200B More importantly, what is a good replacement for a quiet set of 120mm fans that will push greater than 60cfm of air and provide good static pressure for a radiator? ARGB would be nice, just because other things in the case already are, but not mandatory. I'd consider a whole different AIO cooler depending on cost, but performance is not an issue on my non overclocked 5800X. I'm using a MCB B400L KGNN S00 so a 240mm AIO is ideal. (I'd only consider this because I can re purpose this AIO to my Son's machine). amp x200B Plan C is a full custom water loop, but it's a large investment for not a lot of real improvement (for my use case).

How fast does Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut dry out if it hits 80 degrees a lot? I wanna buy it but i don't wanna repaste it very often because of it drying out, but like 1 time a year or something like that is fine but 2 3 times a year or whatever is a little much. So if it hits 80 degrees a lot how fast does it normally dry out? Thanks in advance.

Deleting files from HDD after upgrading to SSD I've just added a 1TB SSD to my PC as my 1TB HDD is getting slow and is also filling up. I've cloned windows and all of my files onto the SSD and it is now loading windows from there but I am wondering if I delete everything from the HDD, will everything still work properly?

Was given a gaming PC by my brother, and I have no idea about it Hello, As you can see from the title, I'm an absolute noob when it comes to gaming PCs. I basically know nothing. I truly just know about FPS and HZ, as I'm an Xbox gamer and I currently use a 1080p 144hz monitor, even though I only have the original Xbox One. Yet, my older brother, who is into PCs, gave me his old gaming monitor for free as a gift since he's moving as he has more than 1 PC anyways(I think?), and I basically know nothing about what it can do. I have the specs, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out and explain to me if it's good or not? It was a pre built iBuyPower from early 2020, and it has Intel Core i3 9100F 8GB memory(is this RAM? Like I said, I'm a noob) 1TB hard drive 120GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Is this good? Can this run 120fps at 1080p, or does that depend on the game I play? What should I upgrade and how would I do it? I don't personally care for running virtual reality with it. Any replies are much appreciated )

My computer randomly restarts and I am at a loss as to why Troubleshooting Help Here is the link to the build I've put together since August CPU Intel Core i7 8700 3.2 GHz 6 Core Processor CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper T2 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Motherboard Asus PRIME B360M A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 4400 CL19 Memory Storage Samsung 860 Evo 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Video Card MSI GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4 GB GAMING X Video Card Case Corsair SPEC 01 ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply Thermaltake Smart 500 W 80 Certified ATX Power Supply Optical Drive LG GH24NSC0B DVD CD Writer Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. I built my PC back in August by myself for the first time. The restarts are completely random when they happen sometimes it will be while I'm playing a game and other times I will be casually browsing the web. Every time it does, my computer shuts off with no warning, then turns back on after a few seconds. I have HWMonitor installed, and my temperatures seemed fine. Originally, the restarting happened periodically, and whenever I do something that I think fixed the issue, I go some time before it happens again. The only reason I'm posting now is because it happened again today. List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. There are many steps I have taken with this issue. I did the obvious things that pop when I google search (changing power settings for example). I tried recycling parts from my last build, particularly the CPU cooler and power supply, with the parts I listed, but those failed. I originally thought it was the CPU overheating because I realized my temperatures were slightly higher than normal, but I replaced the thermal paste over the weekend and get proper temperatures now (25 30 degree C when idle and 40 60 when gaming). I also have an additional fan by the CPU for more airflow. Provide any additional details you wish below. I was aware that sometimes prior to the crash I would hear the CPU cooler fan get louder, but that has not been happening since I replaced the thermal paste. I am aware of the RAM sticks' voltage is more than the CPU's, but doesn't that just mean my build doesn't use the RAM's full potential and shouldn't necessarily mean it's causing a restart? This may also be foolish of me, but when I was putting together my build I could not find the right rotation prong for the restart button's plug in the motherboard prongs, so I left it unplugged as to not have it plugged incorrectly (I admit, sounds dumb). Could there be some sort of trigger because of this? Lastly, other than the RAM, the only possible thing I can think of is perhaps I do not have enough wattage in the power supply, even though the part picker website estimates my computer's wattage to be half of the power supply's. Any help would be appreciated!

Should GPU fans be running while I'm doing light work? I looked at my first time build PC and saw that the GPU (I have an RX 5500 XT) fans weren't running. I only had chrome open, and I'm wondering if the fans should be on constantly at a low RPM, or just while the GPU hits a certain threshold?

So after installing RAM... So I installed two new 2x16 GB Corsair LPX 3600MHz into my TUF z490 bringing my total RAM to 64 GB. Now, sometimes my games randomly crash, my computer randomly reboots, I reseated the cards, and one wasn't seated properly, and it hasn't rebooted but I still received a crash on Risk of rain 2 and Remnant From the Ashes. I switched the speed to 3200 MHz and nothing has gone wrong yet. Havent tried playing any games yet. I'm aware of memtest, I was going to run it, but I just woke up and not currently in the mood to test stick by stick. Testing all 4 at once would take hours right? Anyway, should I try increasing voltage? Or going ahead with memtest? I did run the basic windows memory diagnostic and got no errors after reseating cards. And PC was perfect before adding this extra RAM. I know 64 GB is overkill. I got these two cards for 1.19 on Amazon thanks to two 100 dollar gift cards so whatever.

Is this deal for the 2080 Super worth it? Hey guys. I'm from the Philippines. Someone is selling me an 8 month used Aorus 2080 Super for 800. Seller says he's only used it for 1080p gaming. Receipt says he bought it for 920 back in July. Still has warranty, the box, freebies, and all. He lives an hour away so I can come over to his place to check the card if I'm going for the deal. That said, assuming it's still in great condition, plus considering the scarcity of cards nowadays, and that current 3070 prices in my country is at 1200 (retailer price), do you guys think it's a good deal? Not asking if it's a steal, but is it worth it? Or should I wait for GPU prices to 'stabilize'? Is Aorus even a good brand? I'm looking to game at 1440p. By the way, you can't get SRP prices here in the Philippines from the retailers, they always have to sell it at higher price to account for taxes, customs, shipping, and profit. Thanks for your thoughts!

PC sometimes boots only when i'm hitting it, and reboots by himself from time to time So i've looked many subjects but couldn't find one similar to my case, sometimes like one, 2 or maybe 3 times a day depending on what i'm doing with it and the time i'm using it, my computer reboots without any warning or BSOD, it justs reboots and let me a "Kernel power 63" error on the event viewer So i learned maybe after 5 6 years after building it that you have to put thermal paste on your CPU on a regular basis (one time each 2 3 years from what i saw) which i've never done until now so it cooled my CPU to 70 90 C to 40 60 which i thought was the problem Unfortunately it wasn't beacause to this day it still reboots without warning and it's not only when gaming because it happened to me when i was on youtube and google too, but i wonder if after all these years my CPU overheated too much and is now damaged and somehow reboots my computer I've read on the internet that this can be a problem with PSU but with the motherboard too so i wonder which one since when i do 5 minutes stress tests with OCCT it doesn't reboot Also, and there's what leads to the title, sometimes my computer reboots, and instead of rebooting normally, it seems that the hard drive or the SSD (or both) boots, the little light near the power button lights, but the fans and the other components are off and so the PC won't boot UNTIL i hit it a bit hard and so it boots... So here i'm lost with a PC that reboots from time to time, and sometimes decides to not reboot completely unless being hit, i don't know how to explain this so i'm posting here, i already have done anything i could find related to the kernel power 63 error like deactivating some audio drivers, updating graphic drivers, cleaning PC etc... Concerning the specs i have a GTX 750, an intel core i5 4440, 8 GB RAM and a 450w Cooler Master PSU, let me know if i have to add something or if something isn't clear because i'm not a native english speaker, thanks to everyone who passes by

CL or Clock Speed for 5950x 3090 build? Hi guys, I have my 5950x and 3090 Kingpin in hand and want to finish building out my new pc. My two friends that I consider the know alls regarding anything PC related are giving me conflicting information regarding which RAM to get. This is mainly a gaming PC but I am looking to get 64GB RAM because I will be doing editing as well with Premier so 4x16GB is what I am going for. Nonetheless, friend A is telling me that I should go with MINIMUM 4000 clock speed for my RAM and sent me the link to a 4000hz CL18 pair. But friend B is saying that CL is more important than clock speed so he recommended 3600hz CL16. I would appreciate just an answer on which friend's recommendation is more accurate, but if you would like to help me pick a specific set I would be very appreciative. Important point, I CANNOT have RGB on the RAM because I am using a 280mm AIO CPU cooler on the TOP mount (3090 Kingpin has a 360mm rad that will be mounted on the FRONT)

Pc keeps crashing and GPU question I built my first pc around 4 months ago now and it's been great except from a slight issue I've been having. My pc specs are as follows Ryzen 5 3600 Corsair VS 450 psu Corsair vengeance RGB PRO 16GB MSI B450M PRO MAX MB Sapphire Rx 580 oc 4gb The issues I'm having is every now and again my pc will just completely freeze and be unresponsive, after a few minutes the screen will go black and then the PC will reboot. This happens when I'm just sat on the desktop for about 30 minutes with nothing running or it will happen whilst watching YouTube videos, playing games or disclosing multiple things at once. I thought this was an issue with the GPU at first but a friend of mine said it was the PSU not being powerful enough? It's the PSU the issue and if so what would you recommend changing it for as I was looking at the Corsair 600W. The other question I have is how often should I replace the thermal paste on the GPU? I bought my GPU second hand when I was building the PC and I'm unsure how long the past owner had it for. It's this an easy job to do? I've looked on YouTube and some said it's easy and straight forward and some say it's quite a difficult job that's easy to go wrong? TIA

By the time these cards and cpu's are available they will be about halfway through their life cycle at MORE than what they were when they were new. I was waiting for the 5600 to come out so I could finally upgrade my 1600 to a 3600 for a decent price but thanks to the stock problems they haven't really dropped in price. So by the looks of it my almost 4 year old 1070 and 1600 will be the last pc I'll have for the foreseeable future.

Help me to find a compatible cable for that Hi, as the title says i can't find a proper sata (power data) cable for that the middle part isn't standart (see on this picture Please do you know one that will work ? Thank you.

Will the preapplied thermal paste on the h115i be good enough for my r9 5900x? (At least temporarily) Hello everyone I'm putting together a new PC tomorrow with a 5900x and an h115i, super exciting stuff. I've ordered some thermal grizzly cryonaut stuff off Amazon and it's set to come in a week. I have all my other parts already and I don't really wanna wait for some thermal paste and hold off the project of many months for much longer. I will most likely be doing a touch up maybe a month down the line where I do put the thermal grizzly on my GPU and CPU. But I was wondering if I should just go out and get some new thermal paste right away for the bill tomorrow or if what's on the h115i is good enough. I've heard that the preapplied stuff is usually set up for Intel Dyes so it's usually better to put something new in. But if I don't will I have cpu damaging and throttling thermals? Or will it just run slightly hotter. Thanks!

Problem with my RAM PC doesnt boot and have to reset CMOS. hey guys first of speccs of my friend who needs help ryzen 5 5600x asrock b550 steel legend matx corsair vengance 3200 geforce rtx 3060 ti so what i did. installed the rams. yes in A2 and B2. when i load the xmp profile the pc doesnt boot and i need to reset CMOS. when i manually set ram volt to 1.35V shit is same. camt boot have to reset CMOS. someone out there who can help? has an idea?

B550a ROG Strix vs B550 Steel Legend trade offs I'm building my girlfriend a PC around a white theme and can pick up either of these motherboards for the same price. Her build list is below Lian Li O11 Mini white Ryzen 3600 3070 ROG Strix white ROG Strix LC240 Corsair vengence Pro white 4x8 Trident Z Royal 4x8 (bought both, she'll decide which one she likes) Cooler Master v750 sfx psu Lian Li Uni Fans 120mm white (9) Lian Li strimmer plus (24pin and 8 pin) I wish the Strix motherboard had USB type C front header that the SL has. Don't care for the post code. I think the RGB on the SL looks nice too and since my GF likes aesthetics so it'll be a nice touch. But, on the flip side the strix will match the cooler and GPU so she'll only need one software to control all the lighting. The only other software we might need is the lian li software. So which one would you recommend between the two given my predicament? Also, whats your opinion whether the RGB on the SL will look better or ROG Strix brand consistency across the components will look better.

Can you take a cpu out of a prebuilt? A couple months ago I bought this Lenovo 510a desktop from Best Buy, with the intent on using it for school. It works just fine, but I want to start to build a new computer with some parts from the old one. Can I just take the processor out of the old one and put it in a new motherboard? Any help is greatly appreciated.

3200mhz CL16 or 3600mhz CL18 for intel i5 10600K These corsair Vengeance RGB Pro kits are pretty much the same price at the moment, which one would be better? 16GB 3600mhz 18 22 22 42 (Ryzen Tuned) 16GB 3200mhz 16 18 18 36 CPU i5 10600K Also does AMD Ryzen tuned make any difference would it still be compatible with intel?

Help graphics card fans not spinning Soooo, I just built my first pc. My graphics card's fans are not spinning under load, but task manager says the temps are fine. Is this alright?

is it worth spending the extra for the i7 10700k over the i7 10700? Hi everybody, 1st time pc builder here (S U P E R EXCITED!!!!) I was wondering if anybody had any advice or personal experience with either of these Intel cores. Is the 10700k really worth the extra 50 100?

Help needed first time builder questions I m currently starting to build a gaming PC and was wanting some extra eyes to see if everything is compatible. I believe it all should be. Along with finding a more available video card Here s what I m currently looking at Any feedback and advice welcome!

Which is better for 1080p144? A 2070 or 5700xt? Paired with a Ryzen 5 1600 and 16 gb of 3200 mhz ram I posted on hws not too long ago and have a potential 2070 for 420 and a potential 5700xt for 450. Both are aib and I m not sure which one is best to get. Dlss is pretty big for me and I m unsure if the 5700xt can potentially surpass it since online research has been pretty inconclusive. Please let me know which would be best. For reference I play fps like csgo and also story mode type games too. Thanks!

I think its time..which sucks I think its time I upgrade and that sucks because it couldn't be at a worse time in the last 5 years that I've wanted to. So I'm here to ask some advice about if I should. The current situation. The PC is a joke. The 1080ti is nice, but the rest is kinda sad. The mobo is very old and can't support an SSD. The mounting for the cooler fan broke. The fans need to be replaced and leave this awful buzzing sound. Between the old CPU and no SSD this thing runs like a dinosaur. I understand that it is nearly impossible to obtain a new GPU at close to MSRP, so I should be thankful I have a 1080ti. Here is the question. Should I upgrade the PC and utilize my current GPU so I can buy a higher quality (144hz ) monitor I can utilize and have a better gaming experience? Or would it be smarter to wait until I can obtain the gpu first so I'm not buying parts that will be out of date when I do my build? I'm not in a big rush so I'd appreciate opinions.

Building my first budget pc and just wanted to check if I have all the parts I need I'm building my first pc and I just wanted to ask and make sure I have all the parts I need Case, Power Supply, MotherBoard, Memory Kit, SSD, Wifi Card, Processor Is this everything I need?

Water cooling not working as well after cleanup Hi everyone, Today I've bought a new case for my PC. Before I moved the parts to the new case, I cleaned them, including the radiator of my H100i V2. After i booted up my computer, I was surprised to find my CPU temperature in idle is around 55c. Some important things I think I should note The water cooling now makes a weird sloshing sound. It takes time for the temps to reach 55c, it's not instant. The air flowing through the radiator feels cold. Corsair link shows the pump running at 2000 rpm, and the fans at 1500 rpm. As far as I know, I connected the water cooling pump to the same pins I did before the case switch. What do you thing? Did I mess something up while cleaning? Or did I just connect the water cooling to the wrong pins on the motherboard?

Edit The reason for my budget and some of the overkill parts is because I don t want to be upgrading this anytime soon. While letting it keep up. I have the money now and am willing to pay for it.

If you're having trouble with an MSI board and Ryzen 5000 update your BIOS! Finally upgraded the guts of my system with a shiny new 5600X with board and RAM to boot, and was disappointed when I couldn't run the memory faster than 2666 without black screening and every time I tried to shut down, the fans and lights would stay on indefinitely. Read online that early BIOS versions were rubbish and lo and behold everything fixed! Might not help ultimately but massively recommend updating to newest BIOS version if you're having issues.

How to throttle your internet connection Hey not really a buildapc question but I think it's related and people of your skillset can definitely help. I'm having some ping issues with online gaming but it only occurs when other people are using the internet too. I've logged into my router to prioritize my desktop over other devices in a hope to get passed this issue but even after prioritizing my desktop even if the tv in the other room uses Youtube it gets interfered with heavily, to the point of the game being affected with lag that makes it unplayable. Does anybody have any advice or any other suggestions on how to remove lag from my system? I've even bought one of those wifi boosters that's hooked directly into my router and desktop via ethernet cable. (Didn't do much) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I5 8400 ram update question Currently using 2666 8x2 Corsair vengeance rgb. The ram I have now is black when the build is all white. Not sure what I was thinking... would it be a bad idea to future proof for a faster ram like 3000? I really like the look of dominator although it s pricy but what s the pros cons? I mostly play rust dota sometimes apex or maybe fortnite and would maybe be interested in getting tarkov or cod sometime. And I originally built to do vr but still never got around to buying.

A CPU Cooler Question From a person looking to build his first pc.

Coolers) on multiple websites, a lot of the 1 reviews told me that They weren't compatible with am4 sockets or barely fit. Also, I keep seeing posts about the "horrible support" on the reviews. Could anyone recommend any videos or suggest any AM4 Friendly coolers that are medium in size? Thank you

New to PC gaming, pc in general. Would like a decent mid high end build at MSRP. Is this possible? Finding myself drifting away from gaming for the past few years as PS4 is getting stale and I d like to open myself up to Pc gaming. Never really had a decent enough computer to game on other than just a toshiba laptop that I could barely get by on Minecraft OSRS on. My budget would be around 1500 1800 USD. I m looking to get something that can perform close to if not better than current gen console (if that s possible I m not sure?) just getting stuck on the whole GPU shortage thing and whether I wait to build myself, or find a decent custom pre build since I m not fastened on the whole idea of building my own I just want a PC that s well built and has some good parts and flashiness to it. Any information on what direction I should be looking is helpful thank you.

Has anyone used an Armaggeddon PSU? So I found this Armageddon PSU online and a few local shops are starting to sell these so I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience using their PSUs?

Transferred my pre built PC into a new case (Corsair 5000D Airflow), now fans won't turn on sagging GPU Motherboard TUF GAMING Z490 PLUS (WI FI) GPU Tuff 3080 OC At the start of this year I bought a pre built PC. I have only just bought a new case (Corsair 5000D Airflow. I have connected everything correctly however apparently the fans aren't. Only my CPU fan is working (as it connects straight to the mobo). The Corsair case came with a PWM Repeater, which is where I plugged my 3 fans into. I couldn't find where to put the 4 pin that comes with the PWM repeater so I just put it on fan chasis 3, that obviously didn't work. Is it because my MOBO doesnt support the PWM repeater that comes with the case. If that's so, where would I plug my 3 fans into? Also, just wanted to get your opinion if my GPU is sagging too much? Both schematics of my MOBO and picture of my GPU is here Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi! I m new here and I just wanted feedback on my parts list for my first PC build ) So before you crucify me on the most likely terrible choices I ve made with the parts I ve chosen, I wanted the cheapest I can possibly go (excluding unnecessary rgb lol, also I really didn t want this to go above 1k) because my birthday is really soon and I asked my dad if we can build a PC as my present. I obviously don t want him spending 1k just for my birthday, and at the end of the day I just want to play The Sims 4 since I m a casual player. Parts view YbWt7P Monitor CPU Cooler

Video editing recommendation Hi all, I am about to get really into intense video editing using Adobe Premiere and other Adobe products.

NH D15S Vs Assassin III which one would you go for? Final part I need to get for my build is the cooler, just need help on choosing which one to go for. What one would you choose? fyi, NH D15 is overpriced right now in the UK. Doesn t make sense to go with it. DeepCool 5 year warranty, two fans that cool slightly better than the D15 (supposedly, and also probably minimally) but at the cost of being 2 Dba louder and a cool looking spoiler as it s called by Deepcool. Noctua 6 year warranty mounting brackets sent out free of charge for decade long future proofing one less fan that is a single degree hotter than the D15 which has two fans whilst also being quieter than the D15 too, looks preeety decent as is not sure if it s as good looking as the Assassin but you can also buy aftermarket heatskink covers in different colours which boosts the looks up to the Assassin imo.

6700xt Red Devil and Nitro pricing I keep looking at the 6700xt on StockX because it's the only GPU rn not going over 1k. I also noticed that models that had 700 or 800 msrp (Nitro and the Red Devil) are selling for around 900, making the resale price just slightly higher than msrp. But then again I can also get a 6800xt for that price if I wait God knows how long for it to be in stock. I'm just wondering if there is perhaps any performance increase that makes these 6700xt cards so much more expensive than the 479 msrp models. Is it a decent purchase or should I wait for 6800xt to be in stock in a long time. I currently rock an rx580 and I had to underclock it because I would experience screen blackening at 1440p 144hz (common issue). I only bought the rx580 for 300 so I could have at least something for gaming meanwhile the prices are high, but I'm afraid it'll be worth like 100 by the time I get a new gpu, so I also have to account for that loss.

Can anyone recommend a good case to buy that will accommodate an AIO cooler? I'm hoping to mount my AIO cooler's radiator at the top of the case, since that's how I'm seeing it done in most videos and pictures I've found. My cooler is a Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler The case I bought is forcing my parts to be smushed in there real tight. I can't plug all of the power cables into my motherboard because of it. And honestly the case I bought is cheap and crappy, so I've decided to get a new one anyways. It's my first time building a computer and I didn't know any better than to spend only 40 on a case...

I have the 4th fastest RTX 3060 in the world I just picked up an ASUS TUF 3060 from Microcenter the other day. It comes out the box overclocked, but I overclocked it even farther and did some Port Royal benchmarking and on the first try I am 1 with a 9900k and a 3060, and 7 on the leaderboard for any setup with a 3060. My place on the board is 7, but first place guy has 4 out of 7 of those spots, so that makes my 3060 the 4th fastest. Push me down the board, guys!! 3dmark is only 4.50 on steam right now! Overclock your 3060 s and get to benchmarking! I m Mr Poptartz on the leaderboard. 3D Mark Results

Recieved CPU with open seal. 5800x Wanted to get some advice. ive just decided to switch over to a AMD system. so last week i placed an order for a new motherboard and a cpu cost me about 700. I purchased these from overclockers uk, thing is when i recived the cpu the seal was open, the seal was cut from the lid to the box so someone had purposly opened the box. Apart from the obvious, what other reasons would they send me an opened 5800x? should i send it back? The cpu hadn't looked like it had been used, but i guess anyone can clean off thermal paste on a new cpu easily. I know mistakes can be made, i assume someone ( a packer ) maybe posted me out an rma'd cpu by mistake. Just means i now have to send this one back and get a new one which will take 5 days ( just curious as to why im sent an opened cpu and after testing seems to works ok but does run very hot and without pbo enbaled undervolting its running in 70c which i hear is normal for the 5800x.

Is it safe for the video card if I were to use just the PCI express slot (75w) and a single PCIE 6 2 pin (150w) until my cable arrives? If lower the power limit in MSI afterburner so it doesn't need more than 200W, it should be fine right? Or would it not even boot with just one connection? I don't plan on gaming this weekend. I just want it in my PC and functional. Thoughts? (besides stop being dumb and wait for the right cable)

some help and questions about assembling a new case Hello. It is the first time I want to assemble my custom PC, I have searched a lot for my PC parts, like mother board and CPU and it is a list of those that I thaughte could be good to assemble. CPU Intel Coffee lake core i7 9700k RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX, DDR4, 16 gb (2 8gb). motherboard gigabyte B365M DS3H rev. 1.0 hdd 1 terabyte, 7000 RPM ssd m2 around 120 gb a DVD drive, i don't know too much about them, a normal DVD drive so. Now, my questions. what is the best way of cooling the CPU and other parts? the CPU is not going to be active all the times. I didn't write about the power, because that was a little hard for me to calculate the PCU for this parts. Can you tell me how much is the maximum usage for these? Is the RAM OK? I've seen a 16 GB memory that was only one stick, so decided to find a product to have two sticks, because that CPU supports two RAM channels. will be there any big diffrence between an m2 SSD and a sata 3 SSD? for example in the boot time, or opening some programs like visual studio, Or in the general system performance If something is missing or is wrong, or if you have any suggestions please tell me. Thank you. I want to build this system, mostly for general use, maybe a little gaming, and programming. Its may a little high for general use but, sometimes i do have to run some programs that uses a lot of my CPU, like compiling some big libraries or programs, or any other heavy task. Sorry for my english and typos, It is not my native language so.

Fans Won't Respond to BIOS Fan Curves I recently built my first ever computer ( It's working great except the fans are generating a noticeable humming noise even when I'm not doing resource heavy tasks. I'm trying to figure out whether this is what's to be expected or if this is something I can address with my settings. As a result, I'm trying to isolate what is generating the sound by setting my fan curves such that the fans should turn off when the CPU is below 37 degrees. However, the fans are still running ( Sys5 Fan is connected to all of my case fans whereas the AIO pump is connected to CPU fan. Understand this fan curve may not be advisable long term but I'm trying to isolate the variables by setting the fans to zero to see what may be generating the noise (CPU fans, GPU fans, case fans, AIO pump). I have MSI's Dragon Center installed but believe I changed the settings where the BIOS should control the fan curves, not Dragon Center. Any advice would be appreciated!

First time building a pc, tried my best with some research. anything to modify or get for cheaper but is equivalent? Will probably cost maybe 1800 1900 ish cad. (I know getting any 3060 ti will be hard but I'm going to try)

Planning new PC Build, Do I really need a RTX3080? It has been a very long time since I have built from the ground up, this is mostly due to money. However with my new job I feel its time to finally upgrade and build myself a new whole system after the one I have has served me a good solid 6ish years. However the question is (outside of shortage issues) do I really need a 3080. I've been on the back and forth between the 3080 and the 3070 for some time and I just want to make sure I purchase the right card to serve my needs, so I turn to this subreddit for some help. The games I look to get running smoothly are recent games like the recent call of duty, cyberpunk, genshin impact, battlefield series and then of course any future releases. However with most these games with my current hardware I've of course had to drop a lot of settings to even achieve 60 fps, which isn't nice considering my monitor would like 100fps 1440p resolution. I guess the trouble I am having at the end of the day is picking the right CPU and GPU to match these needs, I shall provide my current system below in case its of any help. in terms of budget I am looking between 3000 4000aud, and this factors in the entire build really. TARGET GOAL 100fps , 1440p, Very High Ultra Settings for current gen games and future games. Current System CPU Intel Core i7 4790k 4.00Ghz RAM 32gb DDR3 933Mhz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z97X Gaming 3 (SOCKET 0) GPU GTX1080 Strix gaming graphics card Monitor Acer Predator 100hz Ultrawide (3440x1440) Any suggestions GPU and CPU wise for my future build are greatly appreciated.

Should I worry about BIOS update incompatibility warning on pcpartpicker? I ve been using PCpartpicker to plan out my first PC build. I ve found a bunch of the parts I think I want, including the ASRock B450 PRO4. However, I m getting a warning saying some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update. Is this something I should worry about? Also if anyone has any other motherboard recommendations advice it d be welcome as well!

Recommended Full Tower Case for Air Cooling? I am looking for a full tower case that has a fan controller hub at the back. I'm more of into air cooling than liquid cooling, any recommendations? Also I do not want a full glass pane as a side panel because if the glass gets cracks for whatever reason, its basically a scar that's hard to fix. I used to have the NZXT Switch 810 (which is now phased out), i really loved how spacious it was. My only complaint is its going to give you a back pain if you attempt to carry it lol. Unless I'm wrong, I don't see NZXT offering full towers lately.

Worth upgrading from 2400Mhz DDR4 to 3200Mhz DDR4? If I already have 32GB of 2400Mhz DDR4 (RipJaws V), is it even worth upgrading to 3200Mhz? Amazon has 16GB (2x8) Crucial for 71, so it'd cost 142 to upgrade a full 32GB.

Ram bottleneck for 5950X and 3900 build? I got a rtx 3090 and a 5950x. I'm planning to reuse my old ram from my previous build. It's corsair vengence lpx 16gb 3200mhz. Will this cause a huge bottleneck in my system? Should I be getting 4400mhz 16gb ram dual rank? Also should I be concerned about cas latency? Will this increase FPS of games by a ton to make the new ram worth it?

getting 144hz to work on my single DVI port GPU with a DP and HDMI only monitor. Running an RX 580 with one dvi port. My monitor is an EG220Q Acer monitor with DP and hdmi ports. Tried using a DVI D to HDMI cable but it still only displays up to 60hz. What am I missing here? I read somewhere that I need an active adapter. Wondering how that would work and if that will fix it. If anyone can add some more info that would be great.

What s the best way to make a separate PC using my gaming PC? i like studying for uni on a PC, but my gaming setup has too many distraction I always end up on discord or steam or Reddit.

And how do I connect my main PC to the new one ?

Exhaust case fans with white blades comparable to Noctua's I am trying to add some RGB to my exhaust fans for my coming build. I bought the Phantek's Halo rings and wanted to buy a performance fan to get both best performance and RGB option. I've read these halos look better with fan that have white fans, and was wondering which of the following fans (or other recs) would you say are comparable to the Noctua NF A12x25 PWM (or A14 for the top exhaust)? Has anyone tried the Phantek's halo rings with these fans and would be willing to show pics? ARCTIC F12 ARCTIC F12 Silent Corsair ML120 Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP 12 Phanteks F120XP

New ram do i add it to or remove my old ram? I just recieved 32gb 3600 ram (2x 16gb). But i already have 16gb 3200ram (2x 8gb). Both are ddr4. I think it's best to remove my old ram? Or is it fine to put that older ram in slots 1 and 3?

Some questions about USB Wi Fi Dongles! Ok, so basically I have thought of getting a Wi Fi USB Dongle for quite some time since my home internet is not the best for gaming wise, and so I am going to list a few questions. 1. Is it good for gaming? (Low Ping) 2. Does it work on PS4 Xbox Mobile and or other consoles devices ? 3. Is it easy to install? (a few clicks and its done) 4. Is it like a ap repeater (which normally don't work for me.) 5. I know it says it can be played anywhere, but I want to make sure, can it be used if your out in the wilderness but theres some cell towers near by 6. Is it truely a plug and play? If possible, also give me some pro cons about it, and is it worth it?
