| Wall mounted PC build that my dad and I just completed Posted: 25 Dec 2019 08:47 PM PST I couldn't be happier with this wallmounted setup I just finished with my dad. I plan to make a whole DIY post on the processes at some point. I also need a displayport to HDMI cable to get the second monitor connected. People pointed out that i put the RAM in the wrong slots. I switched it to 2 & 4 and my performance jumped from the 6th percentile to the 38th. I haven't tried overclocking it yet but at least I'm in the main curve now. UserBenchmark Not listed below is a 750GB HDD I had laying around for extra storage.
And about $150 for the wood, various cables, and tools [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:10 AM PST Hey guys, my build is semi-complete, I have been working at it for months and months now and I've been making a decent bit of prep greed with it. I had a lot of computer problems in spring which really hampered my plan of waiting for the Zen2 stuff to come out, I currently have a 2700x, but I've just made the jump from a lowly little 1080p 60hz gaming setup to now 1440p 144hz setup. Holy cow I cannot believe I waited this long, I am absolutely blown away at the difference! I do enjoy my build, but I also have the chance to upgrade some more stuff but unfortunately I don't exactly know where would be the most impactful... through PC part picker I have made up a near exact replica of my rig and even included the monitors to show what resolution I am gaming at. To me, it seems like memory would be the next step to upgrade, or maybe CPU? I really don't know, I have a fair bit of stuttering and slight lag when I close out or open some applications that is very frustrating and I am trying to eliminate it. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zvw3Rk I'm considering going with this RAM https://www.newegg.com/product/N82E16820232861?m_ver=1 but I don't know if it would work as well with my current setup since it's not a 3XXX series cpu I'm at a loss, if anyone can look and see if there are any major items off the top of their heads that could be the culprit I would love any and all feedback. Sorry for the horrible formatting, I'm on mobile :P [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Will 91% isopropyl alcohol work for cleaning the thermal compound off of my CPU? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 08:36 AM PST I don't have any 99% isopropyl around me and I need to wipe the thermal compound off of my CPU. Will 91% still work?

| I cant tell the difference between my 4k and 1080p monitors. Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:00 AM PST I watched a 4k movie on both of the monitors at the same time to test if I could see a noticeable difference and I could barely see anything to differentiate the two. Did I not set up my 4k monitor correctly? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it worth it to upgrade from 1080p to 1440p? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:01 PM PST I recently upgraded my pc to a ryzen 3600 and a gtx 1080ti. A few months before, i bought a 27 inch 1080p 144hz monitor. I wasn't expecting to upgrade my hardware, but i found some excellent black friday deals, and now I feel my hardware can do 1440p pretty well. Is it worth the hassle to sell my old monitor on ebay and get a 1440p monitor? It seems like a lot of effort to ship something that large, and I'd really prefer not to use craigslist. Given that i'll likely lose some money overall from selling my 1080p monitor, is the upgrade to 1440p worth it?

| Got drunk, spent a lot of money. Will this work? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:58 AM PST I've wanted to build a PC for a while now. I asked my brother-in-law what he would buy after we'd already had quite a few drinks. Then with surprisingly zero hesitation, I ordered all the parts. I don't regret spending the money, but I do want to make sure it'll work optimally since this will be my first build. I'll be doing a lot of VR but also want this to be my media center and plan to play most games I'm the living room on our 70" LCD. Anyways - what do you all think? Also, ordered a MSI 2080S trio from Amazon but I'm not sure if it'll fit the case. I think I might be able to move the front case fan up to get enough clearance. So I'll either use the 2080S Founders edition or the MSI 2080S trio. Am I correct in assuming that the MSI would be the better choice if it fits the case? I'll return whichever I don't use. Edit - had wrong CPU and Ram listed on link. Sorry about that.

| Ready to pull the trigger, seeking last minute critique! Posted: 26 Dec 2019 09:28 AM PST Build Help/Ready:What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Starter gaming Pc build for my brother who primarily plays Fortnite amongst other basic web surfing and video streaming. My hope with this build is that it will serve him well and reliably for some time. Do you pro's have any recommendations on changes for the below configuration? No plans for overclocking and would like to just get and forget. Also, I would like to stay at or below $770! Thank you for your time!

| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:04 PM PST Looking to play older games ( Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed etc, type games) that don't run on Win10. Need recommendation on a desktop PC that is the last of the Win XP machines to hit the market. Specifically what process (i heard i3 will be good enough, but what generation) + must have newer video port (hdmi, DVI etc.). Machine will be air-gapped / not connected to intranet, so not worried about security etc. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finally built my first gaming computer! Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:52 PM PST First gaming computer I've ever owned/built. It's not the fanciest build but it's mine and I'm proud of it. All in all I spent about $650 in total for all the components including the price of a monitor. Also with purchasing my processor and GPU I received codes for 2 games and a total of 6 months of game pass that I was able to flip for $60 so technically this build cost was under $600 dollars. Most items I was able to purchase myself with the exception of the mobo, case, and the 500gb ssd I received those as Christmas presents. Building this setup was a lot easier than expected, although I did watch quite a few build videos on YouTube over the last couple months. This was a really fun experience and I will be back in the next few months once I build a second computer for my girlfriend.

| My new motherboard died after inserting 2nd GPU Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:35 PM PST I just built a new pc, when I tried to insert my old gpu to the second pcie slot to do gpu passthrough the motherboard stopped posting. No leds are lignting nor fans spinning... The pc worked great before inserting the second GPU, the only problem I had is the bios gui being very slow (latest bios). Specs:
Already tried:
Anything else to try before returning this pos motherboard to amazon? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 06:21 AM PST As a first time builder do you recommend booting the motherboard outside the case first to see if all my parts are working or not?

| PC upgrade and reuse parts for gift Posted: 26 Dec 2019 12:47 PM PST I am currently in the processes of debating whether or not to upgrade my PC. I am able to play anything that I want to at the moment, but its starting to slow down a bit. Currently my significant others little brother really wants to get into PC gaming and I would really like to help him get into it, so I had the idea that I would upgrade my computer to something more recent and use the left over parts to build him a PC. I have an extra GTX 1060 6GB laying around my house so thats why i have purchased on both builds. Currently this is my build
And I was thinking of upgrading to the following
And using the remaining parts for this
I'm currently thinking I would keep the 1060 for my build and switch that out at a later date when I feel its needed. Im wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for my proposed upgrade or something I could get to speed up the secondary build. My budget overall would probably be around $600-700 USD. Thanks!

| New build freezes then restarts with pink dots on the screen Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:11 AM PST I just built my new pc a couple of weeks ago, and the past week it has frozen several times (3 times while gaming, once while I was in chrome) and restarts. Then it has small pink dots all over the screen until I reinstall the driver. https://imgur.com/gallery/L2DLFxS The display driver is stopped and I have to uninstall and reinstall it to get it to work again. Could I have a defective gpu? (2080 super) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is a Y fan header splitter dangerous for the motherboard? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 12:25 PM PST I have a X570 gaming X from gigabyte, and I was wondering if a Y fan header splitter can damadge it. I have only 2 fan header ports but need 3 fans. And can I still use PWM on the fans? Thank you.

| Is it safe to increase ram voltage? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 09:23 AM PST I have the aorus master z390 and i9 9900k and 32gb corsair dominators and iv been getting this boot failure and bios resetted crap. Somebody mentioned i should increase the voltage for my ram a little. So i did i put it at 1.37 and ima test it out. Is it safe to increase voltage with xmp on? Or do i need to turn off xmp for that?

| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:48 AM PST With recent AMD releases I've started to look at possible upgrades. I'd like to keep the rest of my configuration mostly the same until other upgrades become necessary. I don't really game, but I'd like to a bit, 4K60 for Bluray would be nice in the future, and I do a decent amount of mobile and LAN Plex Transcoding in HD. Temps right now are great, idle 38C, peaking 45-55C depending on task. No overclocking or desire to. Open to other ideas or changes. Here are 3 general ideas: Asus Z390 I Strix I7 9700K Retain configuration in other areas Gigabyte Aorus X570 I Pro Wifi 3900x Retain configuration in other areas Asus X570 DTX AMD 3950x 240 AIO 2x 3.92TB M.2(no room for 3.5") reuse SSD *Current: * NCase M1 Asus P8MZ77 ITX Pro Wifi I7 3770K Noctua NHD9S dual fan 2x 4gb 1800ghz Ram(basic, but name brand) Samsung 256gb 850 Pro 8TB HGST He8 MSI Twin Frozr 3 Silverstone SFX PSU 3x case fans 2x 1080P monitors [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Best option for a CPU cooler with a fan that pulls (instead of pushes) air through the block? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:39 PM PST Hi all. I have an 1151 clipset motherboard with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 for the CPU cooler. I want to add two more sticks of RAM, but the fan on the CPU cooler is blocking one of the slots. Is there a good option for a CPU cooler with the fan on the other side, pulling air through the block? If not, is there a good option for a thinner block/fan combo? I do not overclock and don't plan to, but I do have a K series CPU, so no stock cooler. Aesthetics are not a concern; my case has no windows. Thanks!

| About to buy everything, is this build ok? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:32 PM PST Here is my build - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RGCDwh I've been doing research for the past two months (didn't know anything about computers) and now I'm ready to buy the parts. I waited until now because I was going to be near a micro center for the holidays but they ran out of motherboards so I'm just going to order on amazon. The only thing I really need is a budget monitor (eventually 144hz but 60hz will do for now). One thing I'm worried about is the ram: is this ram good for ryzen? I'm trying to spend $50-$90 on ram but I'm not sure what's best regarding ram timings. One other thing is the case, should I buy the meshify c for my build or should I get a cheaper case (like focus g). I know meshify c is good for air flow. Thanks [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Trying to build my first pc, help!! Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:27 PM PST Getting a pc for gaming and some light photo editing, would like to play at 1080p and get 100+ frames. Don't have access to a microcenter and will get a 144hz monitor in the future. Here is what I could do in PCPP by myself, please criticize. Would like to stay in a 700 dollar price point.

| I'm looking to buy a glass tube cutter that is spring loaded and automatically closes. Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:19 PM PST I can't seem to find any glass cutting tool with those specifications. The only tools I can find require the user to manually closes the cutter which creates uneven scores.

| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:18 PM PST Hi all, I've owned a PC since i was about 3yo currently 19yo trying to build a new PC now in January I am really unsure on where to start and how to build it myself as well as the parts can you recommend me where to start and possibly even send some ready build for a budget around £1200, thanks in advance :) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:05 PM PST Hi. First post here. I have just finished the build on my second ever rig however I am having an issue with power. I have a Corsair AX850 gold from my old build that powers everything just fine. However, I had two six pin sata cables with two slots on each and I have 5 things requiring power (4 hard drives and the rgb lighting). I have tried two different 6 pin cables both with 4 slots and when I plugged them in to the psu the pc wouldn't boot. I am unsure what would cause this issue and any help would be appreciated as the manual doesn't indicate that this would be an issue. Also not sure if this is relevant but all my Corsair canlss say 750w+ only on them and my two other sata cables that don't work say 'type 4' [link] [comments] |
