| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 04:02 AM PST I just want to thank everyone for helping be build a pc from tips to suggested tutorials, I now have a machine I never thought I would own - consistent 120 fps for only $373.78 USD. Thank you. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:23 AM PST I got a 2666 hz 8gb ram stick for my current build . but my friend has a spare 8gb 2400 mhz stick after he upgraded to 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz. And I was wondering if it was better to have the 16gb of ram but running at 2400 mhz or the 8gb running at 2666mhz since I herd that Ryzen CPUs perform better with higher speed instead of ram amount.

| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 09:45 AM PST I am looking forward to build a PC this summer, and i would like to play at 60 fps and 1080p to all the games that have launched this year. I've been investigating and looking for the best pieces I could buy for the price and I think this is the best you could buy. If you think I could do any improvements don't be shy and tell me what they are. Thanks!!

| Is there some software I can run to make sure all my parts are running to their full potential? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:18 AM PST As the title says.

| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 09:56 AM PST Hey guys, so last night my PC crashed for the first time. First, the monitor lost connection, then about 10 seconds later my keyboard lost connection. Then, after the keyboard lost connection, my fan's lights went out for about 2 seconds and then turned back on. I had to turn off the computer by the button on the case because I could not get the monitor to reconnect. I tried a different HDMI port on my monitor and that seemed to fix the connection problem. Though, about 20mins later all of this happened again. I switched the monitor back to the original port, and it got a connection again. This morning I updated my graphic card to the latest driver and did all of my windows updates that hadn't been done. It hasn't happened again but will update this thread if it does. I also ran a userbenchmark for the first time today and I will share the results. Everything looked fine except for the RAM. Not sure if I have a ram problem, would appreciate it if someone would tell me. I will list my parts below.

| Wanting to start building an animation heavy PC Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:38 AM PST Hey everyone! As the title stats, I want to build a PC that I can start making animations with and eventually get a digital drawing tablet to hook up too. I just need some help a bit on good suggestions what I may need. I found on PCPartPicker of a lot of Gaming/Streaming builds being less than fifteen hundred. Although a lot of those have an i5 processor. I did see one that had an i9 with it, but had an extra thousand on the price tag. It also had a GeForce RTX 2080 card with it. Would that be enough or would I need to adjust it more? I appreciate the help in advance and apologize if this doesn't fit in this subbreddit.

| 1070 Ti underperforming. 2nd percentile in userbenchmark Posted: 01 Jan 2020 06:21 AM PST This morning I ran userbenchmark and everything was fine, except the GPU. It was performing way below expectations. I've tried installing the latest driver but that didn't help. I also cleaned the whole PC, didn't really change much. Temperatures are at 30-50 °C. Nothing is running in the background when I run the test. Specs: i5-8600k 1070 Ti 16GB Ram 3000mhz Z370-F Gaming 500GB SSD 2TB HDD 650W Gold PSU Windows 10 Update: So I overclocked the GPU in Afterburner to 160 and 400 mhz and it's now in the 90th percentile in userbenchmark. Big thanks for the help guys. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How safe is water-cooling a pc? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 07:43 AM PST I'm going to be starting on a update to my old pc pretty soon, and I'm interested in trying to set up a water-cooling system instead of using primarily air. How "safe" is a water-cooled system for a pc that I tend to move around quite a bit, since my friends host lans whenever they come back from uni.

| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 08:55 AM PST I have an issue with my pc where I turn it on and the monitor shows the dot loading start-up, but then displays no input. In order for it to work, I have to turn my computer off and on again, and I've tried turning off my monitor and turning it back on but that doesn't work.

| My First Time Building, Please Advise Posted: 01 Jan 2020 01:24 PM PST
I am building a PC for myself, it will be used for general internet browsing alongside casual gaming from time to time. This will include games such as CS:GO, minecraft and overwatch (if it will run). I want to spend around £550 and am based in the UK. As this is my first build, I honestly have no idea what is considered good/value for money so if you are able to, please advise what components need swapping out, or possible even suggest a completely new set of parts if my choices are terrible. Many thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is this the right fan cable extension to use? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 10:32 AM PST I bought a fan hub since my motherboard doesn't have enough headers, but the cable coming from my cpu cooler is too short to reach the hub where I would like to put it. There isn't a good place to put the hub since I'm constrained to the length of the cpu cooler cable. I wan't to buy this 4 pin extension. The hub uses the fan speed from the cpu fan to set the speed for all case fans. Since this cable is 4 pins, it will work as intended to sync the speed for each fan, right? Thank you for the help!

| Looking for a white GPU. Does Gigabyte ever restock? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 11:27 AM PST This particular 2060 Super is exactly what I'm looking for, but it's either out of stock or 50% more expensive anywhere I look. I'd like to wait for it to come back in stock if that's likely, but I don't want to delay my build weeks and weeks if it isn't going to come back.

| Looking to build, haven't kept up to date on releases for about 6 years. Posted: 01 Jan 2020 11:26 AM PST Can someone give me a TL;DR of where we're at right now in generational releases and upcoming changes in technology? I do know we've moved on from DDR3 I'm pretty out of the loop beyond that. What were AMD and Nvidia up to last? Edit: And what are some upcoming releases to be excited about? Essentially I'm looking for starting places when I look into benchmarks and price points. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Jan 2020 11:11 AM PST I recently built a pc with the ryzen 5 3600 and rx 5700 and when idle, the temperature of the cpu would be around 55°C and when stress testing on apps like cinebench shoot up to 95°C. I monitored the temps using ryzen master so I was sure it could not be wrong. I even reseated the stock cooler but it did not change anything. I was reall very confused and could not really find anything on the internet about anyone having this issue. Now, after disabling both of those options in the bios and changing the core voltage offset to -0.05V, it runs much better and maxes out at 75°C on cinebench and stays around 48°C when idling.

| Considering upgrading i5-6500, looking for feedback on current ideas Posted: 01 Jan 2020 09:51 AM PST Hello, I'm considering upgrading my current CPU and motherboard and possibly RAM. The use is mostly for gaming at 1080p @ 60 fps min so I am not sure if the upgrade is needed/worthwhile and also just want to be sure of any other components that I may have overlooked which need to be switched out. Current Specs: PCPartPicker Part List
Things I'm considering changing right now: CPU: i5-6500 ---> AMD Ryzen 5 3600 OR i5-9600k (leaning towards Ryzen currently) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M ----> ASRock B450M Pro4 (AMD) OR MSI Z390-A PRO (intel) NOTE: If I went with the intel I would also be picking up a CPU cooler Thanks in advance!

| PC Part Picker List shows 404w of estimated usage. Should I buy a 500w power supply or more? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 04:02 AM PST First of all, happy new year everyone. So, it just seems so little, I was considering at least a 550 or a 650, but I'm not sure if it's worth it paying the extra. My build consists of a R5 3600 and a 5700XT, if that's relevant.
