| I installed an SSD in my mom’s computer and she’s thrilled. Posted: 29 Dec 2019 01:09 AM PST After finally experiencing the upgrade from HDD to SSD myself this year, it was painful to watch my mom wait 5-10 minutes on a cold boot for her computer to be usable. So I bought her a 240 GB Sandisk SSD (35 USD) from Best Buy for Christmas and plopped it in, and cloned her old drive. The whole process took about 2 hours and her husband was on the verge of freaking out the entire time that I was going to break something. Now that it's done however, my mom with her basic Dell i3-6100 computer called me at 3 AM to tell me she hasn't stopped using her computer since I left at 8 PM. She said she can't believe how much more responsive everything is now, and even her husband is impressed. But he thinks the speed up is partially because I blew a bunch of dust out of the CPU heat sink. She said now she might actually shut her computer off now at night instead of putting it to sleep since start up time is just as quick. If a loved one in your life is still using old HDDs, do them a favor and bring them into modern hardware life with an SSD. Next gift idea, small PCIe powered GPU so she doesn't need to play Sims 3 on integrated graphics. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Anyone else have a minj heart attack when installing the ryzen stock cooler? Posted: 29 Dec 2019 08:25 AM PST I new some things would require more pressure than what felt comfortable when building, but the pressure need was on another level [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 28 Dec 2019 09:55 PM PST Thank you to everyone on r/buildapc for helping me choose the right parts for my first ever PC build! :D I took some photos of it and was very happy on how it turned out. I have a Ryzen 7 2700x cooler because it was $10 dollars so I decided to get it. Yes the cable management can be an area to improve, that will be worked on soon. Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Cooler: Wraith Prism Cooler GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 Motherboard: MSI B450 Mortar MAX RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200MHz PSU: Cooler Master MWE 650 Gold Seriously, thank you guys so much.

| Peripherals still on after shut down Posted: 29 Dec 2019 11:54 AM PST After shut down I woke up and found my mouse and light (usb connected) still on. Any way I can completely shut everything off? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just took out gpu and re inserted, now I can't get to my main desktop screen Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:35 PM PST My usual steps, after fully shutting down and power off my pc are to first of all turn it back on. Once it is back on I have to press f1 to enter the bios settings then I press "discard changes & exit. After that I reach the main screen and am good to go but right now when I press discard changes and exit I get a black screen then back into the bios settings? what may be wrong?

| Ryzen 5 3600 and MSI B350 PC Mate won't post Posted: 29 Dec 2019 01:44 PM PST I've just upgraded my cpu from a ryzen 5 1600 to a Ryzen 5 3600 into my existing motherboard and can't get it to boot. Updated the bios before upgrading the cpu to the latest version according to the msi website and the computer booted fine with the old chip. Installed the new chip and cannot get anything other than the red cpu light appearing on the motherboard. Have tried the following: Loosening the cooler Tightening the cooler Reseating ram Resetting cmos by the battery pins Removing and reinserting the new chip Trying to boot with one ram stick attempted in each of the slots. I'm currently at a bit of a loss and not sure where to go from here. System is: Ryzen 5 3600 Msi B350 pc mate motherboard with 7A34vAJ bios installed. 2 x 4gb 3200 ddr4 ram Zotac gtx 1060 3gb amp! Edition graphics card 500 bq evga 80 plus psu Any ideas what could be going wrong or what I could do to fix this would be much appreciated. Apologies for formatting as I'm currently on my phone. Thanks in advance for any help or input. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Sanity check on first build for hackintosh before purchasing (Hackintosh) Posted: 29 Dec 2019 01:18 PM PST
Hello! I'm looking to build a hackintosh (and this is also my first time building a PC so apologies if there are any obvious mistakes that I may have missed). From my understanding, I'll be limited to Intel CPUs and AMD GPUs to run macOS and apps more easily. I've picked these parts mainly from checking size compatibility with the cases, the hackintosh compatibility guides, and sales that are currently happening. Purpose: Web dev work, Gaming (mainly CS:GO, Overwatch, maybe some open world stuff) Budget: $1400 Guides followed: https://khronokernel-3.gitbook.io/catalina-gpu-buyers-guide/modern-gpus/amd-gpu and https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/ Thanks!

| RX 5700 not working for Space Engineer s Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:54 PM PST My Rx 5700 is not working properly for Space Engineers. I have reinstall Ed both the drivers and the game, but they are still not working. The last thing I changed before the game stop Ed working was that I added multiple case fans. All of my other games are working. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:35 PM PST I had windows and everything on my ssd and I changed my motherboard to the same model everything else is the same and now my pc can't boot to windows, but it can go to the bios. When I turn on my pc it shows Msi edge logo because I have Msi mpg z390 gaming edge ac motherboard and says automatic correction in progress (maybe a wrong translation) but then it just gets stuck and I can't do anything and I just have to turn the pc off. I tried booting from an usb stick with windows but it didn't work. Do I have to erase my current ssd and reinstall windows? I just built my pc and would want to get gamin'. I think the pc is built right I've built a pc before and I know how to build a pc. It's night now I will get back in the morning. Thanks in advance hope you understand this long message.

| Need help configuring the money-no-object build. Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:28 PM PST So, I've been saving for about half a decade now, waiting to accrue enough for the best build money can buy. I'm thinking of quad 2080 ti-s, 128 gigs of Trident Z 3200, 905 P Optane 1TB, 4 of Sabrent Rocket 4 2TB M.2s, with liquid cooled CPU, GPUs and the RAM. Now the problem is I'm not sure which processor and mobo to go for. I have 9900KS in mind but idk if the PCIE lanes will be compatible for quad GPU and Optane with the M.2s. PLX has the switches but I'm yet to know how they will benefit my situation here. I know the easiest way should be HEDT but anything other than 9900K or the upcoming 10900K won't suit my gaming prerequisites owing to their lower base clocks and that most games will take years to utilize cores numbering more than 4 or 6. I'd prefer ASUS mobos but anything else will do too, as long as they're compatible with the components I've planned for. Really appreciate any help/suggestions/critic :') [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Need some clearance about PC Cabinets Posted: 29 Dec 2019 10:12 AM PST My PC build:
After a lot of researching I have selected the Circle CG 821 Prime as a cabinet for my build because of some reasons mentioned below:
If there are better cases within $55. Please suggest. I am from India. Any suggestions will be appreciated. RGB is not a necessity. I only need performance. Thak You in advance and a Happy New Year. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 07:47 AM PST Hey guys, so I recently build my first Mini ITX pc with some pretty decent specs and id like to improve my temps. Currently im using the single fan from my CPU AIO liquid cooler as the intake, and the fan from my PSU as the exhaust. I think i can fit another fan on the other side of my radiator, so I was wondering if adding another fan there would help my temps at all. And would the specs of the fan have to be similar to the other fan? Id imagine having a much better fan could create airflow problems. I was thinking of getting a noctua NF-P12 which seems to have way more airflow. My specs:

| Gaming PC, first build, no idea what I'm doing Posted: 29 Dec 2019 09:52 AM PST This is the first time I'm building a PC for myself and it's a little intimidating. My budget is around 1000-2000$ and I want to be able to run games like Total War or the most recent shooters at the best quality and ideally not have to buy a new PC every five years. I picked parts with a more experienced friend, but I'd like to have feedback and advice before I blow 1500+ dollars on this baby. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 11:26 AM PST Hi All! Building my first PC in 7 years so I'm a little rusty.

| How to turn system off properly after bench test. Posted: 29 Dec 2019 01:38 PM PST Is it better to re-jump the pins on motherboard or just turn off at the PSU after the system posts? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 01:32 PM PST this is my build from 2015/2016 i get constant freezes now when i play graphically intensive games for extended periods of time. (total war warhammer 2, mordhau, witcher3, etc.) i just ordered 16gbs of 3200 ram. now im debating on either a cpu and mobo upgrade, or a gpu one. haven't been able to narrow down the cause of freezing because it doesn't freeze when i run cinebench, time spy stress test, or unigen heaven. and its also unpredictable. gonna run and get a haircut in about an hour, so if i make a decision by then ill probably stop at my local microcenter-type store.

| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 01:31 PM PST So one of my first posts and I've been lurking on here since I built my first PC. I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 3 2200g to a Ryzen 5 2600. I also bought a used GPU off of a seller that has good reviews on eBay. That GPu being a RX 580 Nitro+ 4G. After I finished, I do the usual and plug it into the wall and it posted and I was happy. I then went to check, and make sure everything is alright, I found out my ram somehow got displaced so I popped it into place. Once I popped my ram into place and turned on my PC again it turned on. However when I go to open up Firefox it resets with no input. It doesn't even bring up a blue screen. It's just black. It than loads into windows again, I thought it was odd thought nothing of it. I open Firefox again... it crashes. That was yesterday and I no idea on what to do at this point. I've done the CMOS, clean install of Windows, checked the pins millions of times. I'm beginning to think I have to replace my PSU or my motherboard. If you need more information to help me I'll be glad to provide it. And none of these parts have had an overclock applied to them. The crashes have also been as soon as I login, or as soon as the windows welcome screen appears. Parts: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: RX 580 4G Nitro+ (Used) RAM: Team Force 3000CL16 8GB Mobo: MSI Bazooka V2 PSU: Thermaltake 600 Watt [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Monitor green and purple pixels in dark places Posted: 29 Dec 2019 09:39 AM PST My problem is related to the display when I'm in dark places in a game or I'm watching a video or image with dark colors these pixels turn into green, purple or blue.

Friend recomended pcpartpicker and I made this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/nFYBvW Most taxing things I would use it for is MHW Iceborne and ultra moded Skyrim but want it to last a long time for future games.
