| Posted: 20 Dec 2019 04:10 PM PST Don't be like me and make sure that you actually remove the protective sticker from the cooler and/or CPU. Ironically, when I was trying to diagnose why my computer was running so hot, I read a post where someone said to make sure you remove the sticker and I thought to myself that there was no way that I did that... /facepalm [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| rest in peace first PC build from 2002 Posted: 21 Dec 2019 12:46 PM PST finally replaced my first PC build with a tiny fanless machine that probably uses like 1/10 the power[1].kind of sad to unplug. not sure what to do with it. it's soo soo SOOO old. lol. fans were SO loud. (got me through college. played some TF2 on it in 2006-2009. used it for streaming for a little while... but then it couldn't even handle streaming lol. massive hitching even when using wired connection with 50mbps.) <joke>behold the glory of Pentium 4 NETBURST with AGP graphics. and 32 bits of amazing-ness. that's TWICE as many as old 16 bit machines. twice the GLORY.</joke>here's some pics of the old machine:

| Thanks for the Help. Ryzen 7 2700X Build Complete. Posted: 21 Dec 2019 10:58 AM PST I finished my build. I ended up going over budget on my tower a little, but with the sales I was able to get I was good with that. There were a lot of recommendations for the B450 Tomahawk, but I ended up going with the MSI B450 Pro Gaming Carbon AC. I did end up having to buy a new monitor at this time as well. I had originally planned on using an old monitor while I researched and saved up for a new one, but I was having display issues during my build and I couldn't rule out my old monitor with a VGA to HDMI adapter. I did run into the dreaded everything powers on, but no display. Trying the onboard did not work. Thanks to some of the guides on here in the end I ended up having to flash the BIOS using the Flashback method. Thanks for all the help and here it is: My New Computer [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 05:19 AM PST Going to build a rig in a few days, however I'm still confused as to wether it would it be better to buy this motherboard alongside this wifi adapter or instead just buy this motherboard with wifi already built into the motherboard, option b is a bit more expensive but if it's worth it I wouldn't mind spending that much more. Will be paired with Ryzen 5 3600 and 16gb 3200 MHz ram. Also would both of these motherboards fit into the CoolerMaster Masterbox MB520? Any help is appreciated, thanks [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 11:33 AM PST So I've built my first pc today but with one slight problem... my RAM doesn't fit the slots, does anyone know compatible ram for the b450m-a motherboard? Help would be appreciated [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Will water vapor damage a PC over time? Posted: 21 Dec 2019 11:44 AM PST I have a bathroom connected to my room, and therefore my PC is relatively close to my shower. There is lots of visible steam while I am showering and I was wondering whether this could affect my PC over time. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Would a insufficient power supply cause blue screening? Posted: 21 Dec 2019 08:32 AM PST Hello, I recently helped upgrade a friends PC, (not my first time) and he is experiencing a good amount of random blue screens basically doing anything. I never even thought to ask what PSU he had when helping him upgrade other things, but its a 500W and he has a 2060 SC, i5 9600k in turbo at 4.3ghz, 32gb ram in 4 sticks, an Elgato capture card, 1 HDD, 1 SSD, 1 M.2, CD try, and the case fans. My initial thought is that 500W is too low and may be causing all of his BSOD's? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 07:51 AM PST I was thinking maybe the rx 580. Its cheap it works very well and it preforms a little worse then the 1660 super but the 1660 super is like 300 cad but the rx 580 is like 250... Idk lol im just trying to get some other opinions. Oh and buying used isnt an option. If it was an option i would just pickup a vega 56 but she isnt comfortable with that.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 10:37 AM PST I was planning on buying a rx 5700 xt and a ryzen 7 3700x for a new build, but i heard alot of people talking about new generations of hardware coming soon. Is it worth waiting or should i just buy the current ones [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 08:29 AM PST So I'm running a 3700x cooled by an nzxt Kraken x62, and am idling temps of 40-50°C. Is this ok? I literally just built this PC, kind of bricking it right now. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finished my first build but there’s no signal on the monitor Posted: 21 Dec 2019 11:46 AM PST Just to note I don't have P-Led - and + in yet but I don't think that's the problem https://imgur.com/gallery/kUvsX3y Edit: You guys we're right (obviously) and I didn't connect the 6 pin into the GPU, onto windows!

| Building a Photo editing PC for a friend (I'm a gamer) Posted: 21 Dec 2019 11:16 AM PST Hey guys, I have built probably 10+ PC's over the years but every time its just a maxed out gaming rig for me. I have a realtor buddy that wants a desktop built and it's main purpose is photo editing in Lightroom. From my research the Ryzen 7 or 9 series looks like the go to here. Is 9 series completely over kill for photo editing? Other than that my only other question is does the GPU matter at all? What would you recommend for GPU here?

| Alright I think i've decided on my PC! It's a prebuilt(be nice to me ) so what do you think Posted: 21 Dec 2019 08:56 AM PST | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 02:07 PM PST This is a pink and white build and setup im gonna do pretty soon. I chose certain parts based on their ability to be changed to the colors I need. Im thankful for any suggestions anyone has. Thanks https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ianw1103/saved/2w6vWZ [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What to configure in Bios in tomahawk max? Posted: 21 Dec 2019 02:01 PM PST Im going to be building a pc soon and I want to know what to configure within the bios from xmp profiles to fan curves and all of that stuff. I'm just posting this because I'm willing to learn as much as I can about setting up pc, bios, drivers, everything. Just being cautious and hoping to not forgot anything when I get to this. This is my first building a pc and being in a bios. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| New PC build turning on and off Posted: 21 Dec 2019 01:56 PM PST I just put together this new computer.. haven't even put an OS in it yet.. I turn it on for the first time, fans and led lights go on for about 5-10 seconds then shuts off without anything showing up on the monitor. after it shuts off for about 5 secs and it does the same thing again.

| Very little room between graphics card and PC case. How to increase cooling? Posted: 21 Dec 2019 01:52 PM PST Got galax 2060 super it has decent cooling but is a bit large for my case leaving little room for cooling with the side panel on. My case is Thermaltake h18 micro atx. I touched the side panel window and was hot . I already have 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans installed.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 08:53 AM PST So my friend bought a prebuilt about a year ago. It has a fx 6300, 8gb ram, and an rx 560. He wants to upgrade it for christmas and doesn't know what he should upgrade. I recommended him to get 16gb of ram and a new cpu like the ryzen 5 2600 and a motherboard. Then he can buy a gpu and new power supply after. Is this the right move? He plays games like fortnite(I know ew), minecraft, and modern warfare.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 01:50 PM PST Looking to play at 1440p at as many fps as I can get for as close to $1000 as I can stay, willing to spend a little extra if it'll make a meaningful difference. Thankful for any and all input!

| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 01:32 PM PST https://www.trademe.co.nz/2452335916 Do you think this is a good buy for 600 nzd... Because I live in New Zealand PC parts are stupid expensive but I would eventually change most of the parts from it.. but is it a good start? [link] [comments] |
