| What to consider when leaving the PC for 6 months Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:34 AM PST Hell everyone. This might be a strange question but I will be studying abroad for 6 months. My desktop will not be going with me so I was wondering if I have to consider anything beforehand? I got a NZXT Aio watercooled system. Should I ask someone to turn it on from time to time so no sediments or anything can build up? Or can I just leave the PC how it is. Thanks!

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:00 PM PST Bought the Best Buy AMD prebuilt on black friday as a starting point for PC gaming, and I wanted a solid platform to start upgrading. Ryzen 3600, Rx580, EVGA PSU, 8gb ram, 2tb hdd, 250gb ssd. A couple of buddies said that RAM is becoming increasingly cheaper and a good place for an upgrade would be going to 16gb instead of the 8gb I have now. I browse /r/builadapcsales and see good deals(?) but have no idea what speeds, timing, bdie, etc mean. Any recommendations for what I should keep my eye out for?

| Consider undervolting if your 5700 XT is too hot/loud for your liking Posted: 07 Dec 2019 10:55 PM PST So I bought 5700 XT Raw II the other day, I found that this thing runs way too hot and loud for my liking. So I decided to lower the frequency and power and adjusted fan curve to never hit 50% RPM unless the thing was approaching 100c. I might have lost 5% to 7% performance, but the temperature and audible comfort increased dramatically, and this is something I'm okay with. I'm sure I can fine tune a bit more, but my 5700XT Raw II is 1850mhz/930mV, with rpm under 1900, with avg temp 76c with 86 junction in games or furmark or whatever have you. I have Thermal Grizzly to test in the future, but I think I'm okay as it is currently. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:56 PM PST Build Help/Ready:( I want to mention I'm fresh here and I've red the rules) I want to build my first pc. A gaming pc that can give me more than 60 fps the more the better). I've already made this build, but it's slightly walking out of mu budget, which is 1150$. I also want to mention I'm from Poland (haha very funny XD) and I'll be buying the parts from local retailers or Amazon And here's what I've created: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DJkt7T I want to know what can I change to make this setup cheaper/better and is it a good one? (sorry, I have no idea how to format the parts list) Thanks :D [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Built my new PC, think it turned out ok Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:13 PM PST I finished building my new pc after taking all day to install, cable manage, etc, and I'm pretty proud of how everything turned out. Here is the complete build. I may add RGB or some more flashy RAM sticks down the line but for now I'm happy with it and just wanted to share it here, and say thank you to everyone here that answered my dumb questions about building the pc, you were all very helpful.

| Upgraded MoBo, CPU and now GPU won't Boost Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:02 PM PST Hello, I just upgraded my CPU 6700K to 9900KF and my MoBo AsRock Extreme 6 z170 to Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master. I reinstalled my MSI Gaming Trio RTX 2080 which had been working fine on my other set up. Running BIOS F9 on the MoBo and newest NVIDIA Drivers for GPU. Overclocking through MSI Afterburner(as I had previously been doing) and find my GPU is no longer boosting up to the 2020mhz Core Clock that I had had before. I allowed the OC Scanner to set a curve as well and it also will not boost. GPU shows 98% usage in RDR2, but stays at 45C temps. All hardware scanners I use show the GPU core clock at a max of 1560. Reinstall went well, I have the GPU seated in the second from top PCI-e slot, and the correct power cables plugged in. Everything boots fine and no artifacts in game. I pass all stress tests without issue as well, but again I see no boost performance when doing so. Can anyone recommend some troubleshooting tips? I've pulled and looked over the card and cannot see any kind of physical damage, reinstalled it in the same PCI-e slot and have the same problem. Edit: So I decided to mess around with the GPU and laid my case on its side and reinstalled the GPU. Everything works fine now. There is an INSANE amount of wiggle on the GPU and I believe the GPU is sagging enough to not make a proper connection. Does this seem out of place for the Aorus Master? The top 2 PCI-e slots have the same amount of play. My Z170 didn't have nearly as much play in the GPU. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Spilled Water on my PC, no Display now Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:57 PM PST Hi reddit I spilt water on my PC earlier , it was more on the back of the PC, around the cords. Anyways i didn't notice until my monitor went to a black screen with the cursor. I panicked and unplugged the power and took apart my PC. I dried everything off really good and then tried turning back on the PC (I know bad idea. Didn't know not to do that till later). The good News is (I think) •The graphics cards spins and lights up •The motherboard lights are on and seems fine •CPU fan works and turns on Only thing is I don't get any display. I just moved and don't have any friends With PC's around and My Ryzen 3600 doesn't have integrated graphics. What do y'all think the problem is? Any advice is greatly appreciated, just wasted $370 on a new motherboard and CPU about 2 weeks ago so this really hurts [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm thinking about making a sleeper out of a Tatung Einstein. Do you think it's worth it? Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:56 PM PST Long story short I have a 35 year old tatung einstein that is totally busted, like burn marks on the motherboard busted and it's sat in my room gathering dust. I'm thinking about getting a second hand workstation form cash converters or something like that and canabalising it into the case (with a few case mods of cause) I have an old HP monitor that is a simular size. Instead of it being a gaming rig or anything I could just use it as work station for school and the like. Do you think it's worth it and if you do would you like to see something like a live stream of me doing it or something. This is what a Tatung Einstein looks like for anyone out of the loop. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatung_Einstein#/media/File%3ATatung-einstein-computer.png [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What type of ram is best for Ryzen 5 3600x Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:06 PM PST I've heard that Ryzen 3rd gen sweet spot is 3600mhz but the g.skill Trident z ram has the 3600mhz c18 and 3200mhz c16. Which one would be best for the ryzen 3600x the higher mhz or the lower latency? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:04 PM PST I was talking to someone and they are saying prebuilts are getting better components at greater deals and I think theyre bulls***ing. TLDR: Is it better and cheaper to build a pc buying parts, or to buy a prebuilt. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 11:27 AM PST My friend has been interested in building a computer to replace his laptop, and he wants to base it around mine. Mine is pretty outdated though, so what parts could he replace that would get more bang for his buck? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1080p 144hz or 1440p 144hz for 5700 xt? Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:00 PM PST Title basically says it all. Purchased an MSI MAG27CQ 1440p Monitor on Black Friday for my future 5700 xt build. Now I'm starting to question whether or not I should've got a 1080p 144hz monitor instead. Please note, I've played at 1080p @ 60fps for the entirety of PC Gaming time so anything above that is already an improvement for me. I also mainly want to play RDR2 @ 60fps but with the good graphics. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2x Evga 1080 TI sc2 Hybrids vs 1x 2080 Ti Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:56 PM PST Roght now I'm running 2 evga 1080 TI sc2 Hybrids in sli. Have been thinking of selling them and getting a 2080 ti.

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:52 PM PST Hey , Recently I have bought a RX 580 that needs 1x6pin pci-e and a 8 pin pci-e My power supply does not have any pci express connectors but I do have 3 unused Molex connectors , the gpu page says it needs 230W and in afraid that if I buy 2 adaptors one with 1 molex to 6pin and one with 2 molex to 8 pin the gpu won't have enough power. Should I try buy a new power source or it will work fine with the power that the 3 molex connectors will provide ? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Blue screen issues on friends pc Posted: 08 Dec 2019 10:03 AM PST Blue Screen Issues on friends comp He bought a prebuilt two years ago, started blue screening randomly every few hours to every few minutes. He swapped all the parts except(and ram) for the drives a few weeks ago. Still doing it. Just swapped all the drives for an m.2 ssd with a fresh install of windows today. Has done it once so looks like it's not stopped. Any suggestions? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Architecture/render PC build with $1000 budget Posted: 08 Dec 2019 11:15 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm trying to build a PC for architecture related work. Some of the programs I use are AutoCAD, Revit, Lumion, Sketchup, Vray, Blender, Photoshop and Lightroom. This computer is mostly set aside for learning and practicing with these programs. This is build I have set up so far and was wondering if this is a good choice of parts. One question I had was about CPU choice, and is AMD or Intel better for these applications. I read that Nvidia GPU's are preferred for GPU Rendering programs. I already have the monitor, keyboard, mouse and windows 10 key so I don't need to include them in the cost. Also I'm not far from a Microcenter for sourcing parts. Thank you in Advance!

| Need help figuring out which piece of hardware is going bad. Posted: 08 Dec 2019 11:02 AM PST I have a dual boot with windows 10 and linux (mint). 90% of my time is spent on linux including gaming. The issue started while playing rocket league. It would randomly freeze and require me to restart my computer. The only solution was to turn down my graphics settings but it was still happening, just at a lower rate (once every 5 games or so) I assumed it was something with linux so I decided to try windows only to have the same exact problem. Which is odd. Something else I noticed is that after closing rocket league regularly, my computer starts bugging out. Mouse randomly freezing, random temporary black screen, everything taking forever to open, etc. Very similar things happen with Modern Warefare. Also over the past view weeks I have experienced some strange graphical bugs. For instance, one time while playing rocket league, a bunch of UI elements were spazzing out. Titles would be random colors, player tags would be ginormous, etc. And then today, my desktop environment goes completely black when trying to remove a widget. The only things that don't go black are any windows I have open. My best guess is its the gpu but I just wanted to check. I will be able to test an old graphics card when I go home for winter beak. The gpu I have now is around 4 months old. My specs are: Ryzen 5 2600x RTX 2070 super Samsung evo 1gb ssd. Kingston hyperx fury 8gb x2 Gigabyte GA-AB350-gaming 3 Corsair RM750x, 750 Watt Power supply [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| New SSD not showing, need help! Posted: 08 Dec 2019 02:25 PM PST Motherboard: ASUS Strix B250F Gaming, Socket-1151 SSD : Kingston A2000 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD So I had a friend help me out buying a new secondary ssd for my computer. This is the third hour of trail and error so I'm really hoping for some good 'ol reddit wisdom. The ssd mentioned above is installed in socket M.2_1 (socket 3) but will not show up at all. I have tried memory diagnostic, computer management, physically re-installed the damn ssd 3 times. Nothing works. Anyone have the slightest clue to what seems to be the *** **** ************* problem? My sanity is on the line [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Quick judgement needed - Is this a good thermal paste application for 2080 Ti? Posted: 08 Dec 2019 02:04 PM PST Hey guys. Second time I am installing a custom cooler onto a graphics card.I got the EVGA 2080 Ti XC Ultra, and the Aqua Computer kryographics NEXT RTX 2080 Ti cooler. The manual of the waterblock lists manual thin spreading for the thermal paste with a small spatula, so I tried it. Photo below. Just need a quick reponse. Is it good, or shall I scrub the paste again and do it differently, like the X method or whatever? [link] [comments] |
