| Don't Wait For Black Friday To Build Your PC Posted: 13 Nov 2019 07:15 PM PST So many people ask if they should wait, then end up missing a deal! Keep an eye out and if the price is right pull the trigger. It's one of the greatest times to be building a gaming/workstation PC. The value this year is insane! I recently bought all this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QCFYHB and it was only $570 AFTER TAXES r/buildapcsales has been enormously helpful for anyone trying to find a deal [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Nov 2019 01:01 PM PST I've been around this subreddit for a while and I see a lot of misinformation when it comes to running different combinations at different refresh rates. In particular, I've seen quite a few people say that 1440p 60hz is harder or just the same as 1080p 144hz - which is just straight up incorrect. It's around 25% easier. Whether or not you can hit these numbers depends on the entire rest of your build so I didn't want to go into that but if anyone is trying to choose a monitor this should help. EDIT: I should have specified that I am being entirely theoretical here, the actual numbers will be different depending on multiple factors [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Nov 2019 12:38 PM PST Title says it. He got tangled in my headphone cord and got scared and ran. Knocked entire pc from a 2 1/2 feet desk. Is there any i should check on or any soft ware i can run to make sure everything is ok? None of my wires detached, but my pc did restart.

| How bad is the Gigabyte B450 motherboards? Posted: 14 Nov 2019 03:24 AM PST I'm planning to build a budget Ryzen 5 2600 + RX 570 build. I'm a complete beginner, I haven't build a PC from scratch ever since. Also my budget is tight.

| PC Noob looking to build a gaming pc without breaking the bank (aren’t we all...) Posted: 14 Nov 2019 11:13 AM PST Hey, looking to build a gaming PC to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare, fortnite, and various other random games. Don't know much, if any, about PC builds, what to look for, etc. **Budget: would LOVE to stay at $800 or under, I know, I know.... I KNOW. Not a lot to work with. I already have a Acer Gaming Monitor 27" Curved ED273 Abidpx 1920 x 1080 144Hz Refresh Rate G-SYNC Compatible (Display Port, HDMI & DVI Ports) which I don't intend on upgrading anytime soon. Help ? Plz ? Anyone ? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why is the i9-9900k performing worse than i7-9700k? Posted: 14 Nov 2019 01:05 PM PST Okay, so, as far as I know, the only difference between the 9900k and 9700k is that the former has double the amount of threads, which should increase performance, right? I thought that, but I'm looking at this benchmark and the 9700k seems to consistently perform better than the 9900k(at least in the first benchmark, haven't watched farther than that), which honestly does not make any sense to me. Can someone please explain? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Nov 2019 10:31 AM PST Been really working up to building myself a decent PC since my laptop can barely keep up with the recent games like Witcher 3, DOOM, and Dark Souls 3. Budget is preferably around 1500 or less. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yVtzNq Let me know what you guys think. (EDIT) Forgot to mention most or all the parts I pick will be from my local Microcenter which is running a great sale for the CPU (129.99) plus mobo combo (-$30) so there's no problem deviating from pcpartpicker's price a bit.

| Posted: 14 Nov 2019 12:14 PM PST Looking to build my very first PC suitable to play a lot of games, and in good quality that's not going to drain my wallet. I know there's no such thing as getting ahead of the curve with how quickly technology develops, but I am looking at getting a i7-9700k or even a i9-9900 with a quality graphics card that I can run 144fps. Now, with me being a novice in the PC world, I am not sure what graphic cards to look at, and I want to stay in the range of $1,300-$1,900k for an entire build while staying away from liquid cooling. If anyone's got any advice, or builds within my range, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

| Fairly certain my PSU just kicked the bucket? Should I replace? Posted: 14 Nov 2019 12:33 AM PST Hi! So just today, my GPU stopped working while playing destiny 2. Further testing indicates that the gpu appears to be fine, but when I draw more power (eg more than 30 seconds of gameplay) the entire system powers off and I get an anti surge trigger. Happens with other games as well. Heres an image of the GPU power consumption right before it turns off. The peaks and valleys are me tabbing in/out of destiny 2: Am I correct in assuming this is a PSU problem and not a mobo/gpu problem? Thanks for reading :) Parts list:

| i7 9700k vs Ryzen 3700x - 1440p ultrawide gaming advice - Final decision Posted: 14 Nov 2019 04:42 AM PST After months of research, I'm finally down to this one last big decision. Really could do with the communities help based on my quite specific criteria here. As you can see, I don't play many of the newer AAA games that usually get benchmarked so its not a clear cut as using the popular benchmarking videos. I play a lot of older games that maybe don't utilise multi-threading but I'm also wanting to future proof for games that most likely will. Do I go with an i7 9700k or Ryzen 3700x with a 2070super. Or will a 3600 with an rx5700xt do the job? My criteria: · Primarily gaming · Looking to run 21:9 (3440x1440) · Aiming for 75-100fps · Willing to overclock · For playing these games (in order of how much I play) o Arma 3 (I play this A LOT!) o No Mans Sky o Kingdom Come Deliverance o Elite Dangerous o GTA5 o Subnautica o Rome 2 Total War · Future proofing for games like x4 Foundations, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, Star Citizen, MS Flight simulator, RDR2, Uboat, Bannerlord etc. · Based in UK · Upgrading from a i5 4670k (oc to 4.4) and gtx 1060 6gb · Rig to last me 4-6 years Much appreciated!

| A silent and not too big gaming machine for 1440p120hz / 4k60hz with 3600+2080S Posted: 14 Nov 2019 10:38 AM PST Hello, My goal is to build a gaming machine that is as not too big and at the same time silent and powering a 2080 Super. I made initially a Dan A4-based mini-itx build but as I couldn't fit any triple-fan 2080S in it, I ended up with looking for the smallest mid-tower that could suit this 328mm large GPU, that is the most performant and silent among all the air cooled ones. I will mostly play single-player RPGs and action games on my TV (which is a Samsung QLED 55" Q70R supporting 1440p120hz and 4k60hz that I will alternate depending on the kind of games) and on a monitor that I still have to buy but most likely will be a 1440p144hz. Thank you in advance for any feedbacks that you will give me about this build!

| FINAL BUILD CRITIQUE: ~$1500 Editing + Gaming Build Posted: 14 Nov 2019 02:10 PM PST This will be my first time building a PC. My budget is ~$1500. I have peripherals and I will be using a 1440p 144hz monitor. I would like to keep costs down as much as possible, but I'm willing to pay for performance. Intended Primary Uses:
Notes/Questions about build:
I had originally planned an Intel build with a 9700K but going with Ryzen seems to make more sense for my needs and it allows me to get a nicer GPU and stay within my budget. If you see any problems or have any suggestions, please let me know.

| Ryzen 5 3600 vs 3700x vs i7-9700k Posted: 14 Nov 2019 06:00 AM PST Probably going with a 2070 Super for graphics, but also maybe considering a 2080ti. I don't have a particularly tight budget and am willing to put down more money. But I don't want to spend more than I need. Also don't want to be limited, basically want to be able to play anything comfortably, including possibly VR. This is for a primarily gaming pc. I want to be able to play the latest games, future-proof. I usually watch a lot of YouTube and do homework as well. Advice?

| Wraith Stealth vs Artic Freezer 13 for Ryzen 5 3600 Posted: 14 Nov 2019 01:54 PM PST Not sure if this fits on this sub but I don't know where else to ask. I just ordered a Ryzen 5 3600 and I was wondering if the included cooler was better than the Artic freezer 13. I remember a while back when ryzen cpus just started comming out that people were saying how good the included coolers were. I already have the artic freezer 13 cooler that I bought for my current system with the AMD X4 760K because the stock one was pretty bad. Since I remember that the Freezer 13 was fairly cheap (i think it was around 15$) I was wondering if the included cooler for the 3600 was better? I couldn't find a direct comparison between the two. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

| What do I need to game at 1440p/144hz, I have trouble hitting 1080p/144hz Posted: 14 Nov 2019 01:35 PM PST I currently run with an MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC, Ryzen 5 3600, Corsair LPX Vengeance 16 GB (2x8) of 3200 MHz RAM, and an MSI 1660 TI Ventus OC 6GB card. I mostly play rainbow 6, and on max settings I get between 120-150 fps. On YouTube videos I see others getting about 150-180 fps with similar setups, and benchmarks put it at around 180fps. I don't know why mine are so low. I see also that when paired with a 5700 xt, rainbow 6 can hit way over the 200fps mark when paired with a Ryzen 3600. It can also easily hit 144fps @1440p. Based of the numbers I get, I find it hard to believe I would get such numbers if I used a 5700 xt. Am I doing something wrong that hinders performance or is true performance that much lower than benchmarks?

| Help finding compatible RAM sticks Posted: 14 Nov 2019 01:28 PM PST Hey! I'm looking for some help for finding "compatible" RAM sticks for my PC. I have an Asrock H310CM-IB motherboard, and tried using UserBenchmark to find some new RAM sticks (I want 8GBx2), but everything I try to choose seems to be "incompatible" with the motherboard. I don't want to go ahead and buy some, then find out later that they won't function properly. Any help is appreciated.

| GPU SLI: A Simple Overheating solution? Posted: 14 Nov 2019 11:15 AM PST I have placed a fan between the card in my sli setup and has helped somewhat, but I wonder: if heat transfers upwards, thereby causing the top card to be hotter than the bottom one, wouldn't it make sense to rotate the whole PC upwards so that heat does not accumulate on the top card? Has anyone ever tried doing this? Would there be better temps, no difference, or maybe it's a bad idea for other PC components? P.S. No, SLI is not dead. And yes, it works. Two 1080ti's perform better than a single 2080ti (minus the raytracing).

| MSI B450 Tomahawk Max malfunctioning Posted: 14 Nov 2019 08:19 AM PST I recently received and installed the above mentioned motherboard. As far as I can tell, I connected everything correctly. I have noticed it seems to be taking longer than it should to boot up (1-2 minutes) and sometimes it doesn't boot at all. Everything in the case powers on but nothing comes up on my monitors. I have assured the connections to the GPU are secure. On two occasions, shortly after I started the PC and was working, my monitors went dark and lost connection. Again, components in the case were working, but nothing on my monitors. I saw that there is a BIOS update that is supposed to address the boot time so I may update the bios today to see if that solves the other issues. I don't have a lot of experience building PC's so I don't want to assume the motherboard is messes up when it is actually me screwing something up. Thanks in advance for any troubleshooting advice for this issue.

| Water-cooling in NZXT S3400, should I change my case? Posted: 14 Nov 2019 01:10 PM PST 2 years ago,during the black Friday sale, I bought parts and build my first PC. Now, for no good reason rather than having the itch to open my PC up and upgrade it, I want to add watercooling to my system. This will be my first time watercooling, and I haven't done too much research into it yet, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems like the NZXT S3400 isn't the best case for water-cooling. Now I'm wondering if I should just change my case all together. And with the black Friday sales coming up, I'm wondering if it will be a good idea to even upgrade some of my parts. Particularly my processor and motherboard. Might be a bit of an overkill but I want to see what you guys think. See below my current parts and please tell me what you think.
