| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 07:01 AM PST Completed my first PC build in a long time (like 8 years) a couple of weeks ago. Forgot how much fun it can be to build a PC and am really happy with the way it came out. This sub and pcpartpicker make things soo much easier than what I remember it being like! Still lots of research, but it makes it so much easier to figure out compatibility! Anyways here are some pics: https://imgur.com/gallery/X8pA3fp and specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/syJ8TW [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| gaming pc part list, want criticism Posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:51 PM PST
I am in Australia and can get the Rx 580 4GB for $A200 brand new. Also is it worth it to get a Rx 580 used for the lower price point? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Need help salvaging parts from my son’s new PC Posted: 11 Feb 2020 08:16 AM PST My first post here, so I hope it's okay as written. My son was on his way back to college yesterday when he hydroplaned off the road. He flipped end over end, and rolled twice. He's going to be okay. His first build, however, probably won't. It was thrown about 50 feet. He just finished it and brought it home to show me. We're hoping Microcenter will say some of it is salvageable. Any thoughts on how to recover and test any parts, or is he going to have to start over someday? https://imgur.com/2SUSLdM https://i.imgur.com/7M7cscc.jpg Bonus shot of the car https://imgur.com/N9vTg0v [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 500gb sata ssd with 1tb hdd or 250gb m.2 ssd with 2tb hdd? Posted: 11 Feb 2020 07:43 AM PST Right now, I have the choice to get either WD SN500 250GB paired with 2TB Barracuda or MX500 500GB and 1TB Barracuda. Mostly play AAA titles, which don't take crazy time to load and several multiplayer games like Rainbow Six Siege and Apex. Which combination should I chooss and why? Thanks for answering my question.

| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 03:07 AM PST Hello, I'd love to build myself a gaming pc for the very first time with a €1500 budget, I'm from Belgium and continental EU based online shops are usually my go-to. It'll be primarily for graphic-heavy games as well as esports at 1080p 144hz and I plan to upgrade to a 1440p 144hz monitor. It'll also be for Photoshop and Lightroom photo editing (not professional). I already own the peripherals as well as a 1tb 2"5 SSD (Samsung 860 QVO). Any thoughts about this build?

| Wondering what’s everyone’s favorite motherboard? Posted: 11 Feb 2020 03:13 PM PST I love building computers and have been thinking of another build or changing my current. I've always been a fan of the EVGA x299 Dark and I'm considering switching to it and I'm wonder about the rest of you. So what's your favorite board and why?

| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 03:00 PM PST I wanna start saying that this Is my first build and I'm going to use this Gpu with an ryzen 5 3600, 16 ram and a 144hz 1080p monitor, Im not a streamer or a pro player gamer, I'm going to play mostly first and third person shooter, I'm going to play a lot of hours a day and I just want a Gpu that last long and I can enjoy with no problems, so my question is it worth it for me spend 400€ for a 2060 super and maybe after a year upgrade my monitor or I should go with a 1660 super and invest the money in other things? Thanks for the answer. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:57 PM PST Ok, so basically I got a cooler a while ago from an old Lenovo m92p Intel pc and because I was an idiot 2 years ago I thought that there was still thermal paste on it after wiping the thing with alcohol 3 times. Anyway, it's pretty scratched. They aren't super deep scratches but they're significant. Can I still use it or should I get another cooler? Edit: MUST I get a new cooler?

| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 12:39 PM PST For a while now, my PC's been acting badly. First, some basic specs: CPU: Intel core 2 quad q9650 GPU: Nvidia GTX 980 Memory: 8 GB DDR2 800 MHz recently, every time I leave the computer overnight, it will shut down. Now, I realize that you should shut it down overnight, but it has always been fine in the past. The issue that arises is that, whenever I come back in the morning and turn it on, I'll get the post screen, but it won't beep like it's supposed to. When this happens, all I can do is restart it again and hope for the best. Sometimes this will work, but others the front IO becomes unresponsive and I have to turn off the power supply, then restart around three more times to get it to beep, and actually turn on fully. And when it does turn on, for about ten minutes afterwards it will be incredibly slow. Any ideas? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Issues with nvlddmkm. Tried a lot of things Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:51 PM PST Hey ! I am begging your help guys, I am having big problems with my computer. First, here is my setup : Operating System Windows 10 (X64) 1903System install date: 11/16/2019 Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3600 clocked atProcessor frequency measure (core0): 4.12 GHzNumber of cores: 6 physical, 12 logicalProcessor socket: Socket AM4 (1331)CPU Temperature (core 0): 43.63 °C Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

Sound still works but will eventually stop or lag. Here is what the Windows 10 Event Viewer shows : I also have these that come after the nvlddmkm one : I did not figure out when and how this happens, it seems very random. Can happen 1 time a week or 3 times in a day. I have tried a lot of thing, like using DDU to clean install drivers, passed memtest and other tests. I even changed my CGU as I thought it was the issue. Changed from 2070 SUPER to 2080. Nothing changed, had a crash 4h after the new CGU was installed. Did not notice high temps. Did not overclock anything I also have a peripheral that keeps disconnecting/reconnecting. It's the Corsair Commander Pro. But it is a known issue, I don't think the two are linked. This might be motherboard, PSU or something else, but I am fed up with changing my parts (3rd graphic card already). I hope you will be able to help me, I am tired of these crashes. Thanks in advance ! Edit : Just disabled TDR with TDR Manipulator. Don't know how it will affect the issue. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Need help updating my 2012 desktop Posted: 11 Feb 2020 10:56 AM PST Hi! I purchased my desktop waaay back in 2012 when I was still a student, it was a mid-range gaming PC now which I haven't really touched since except for a modest GPU upgrade. I have actually shifted my gaming habits more towards retro systems hooked upto a CRT and a projector, so don't really need much gaming capabilities, as long as I can run the occasional game on medium or low settings I'm fine, I prefer to emulate anyway. I just want the PC to start-up fast and be snappy. Below are my specs taken from Speccy, with the planned upgrades and my requirements:
The case on this thing is also a full size and very ugly. If I could get everything I want to keep into a smaller case then that would be great. Maybe a Micro-ATX case, with a mobo to match.\ I have these products in mind for some of the changes RAM - Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz UDIMM Memory Module - CT2K8G4DFS832A | Ebuyer.com Any advice would be very helpful, thank you!

| Beginner's attempt to build a PC Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:37 PM PST Since I was a kid I've always been fascinated by computers. It has always been a dream of mine to build one and after doing my research by lurking in this sub and days of convincing my gf, I have chosen the parts below for my first ever build. I was hoping I can get some feedback for my chosen build. My budget would be around $1250 and leaning into getting the ASUS TUF Gaming VG259Q for my monitor.
P.S. - I'll be mostly playing AAA RPG games but will sometimes play FPS battleroyale. P.S.S. - I'm in the Philippines so the parts i've chosen are the cheapest ones I can get from our market without breaking the bank. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| No video output after enabling XMP Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:28 PM PST [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wKrBGc) This is a newly built rig, completed today. I was re-adjusting settings in BIOS, and enabled XMP. Now, when i turn on the machine, the fans rotate and the RGB works, but i get no video output. Any help?

| Upcoming build - opinions wanted! Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:21 PM PST Hi everyone, I'm about to start building a mid-tier gaming desktop and wanted some input on my list. I'm seeing resources say that this motherboard should work fine with the intel i5 I have picked out but the pcpartpicker auto-warning is saying there may be some compatibility issue. BUT it says that no matter which chipset motherboard I select, including the ones filtered to be compatible with this processor. Can someone take a look and let me know? Otherwise just looking for opinions and input! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:17 PM PST So I am back to finalizing my build shown below with slight modification since my last try. My monitor is set (already have it) and I do not intend to go above 1080p@75Hz but still wish to utilize RayTracing as well as a little future proofing with the 2060S GPU. I am probably going with a Bitfenix Whisper over the Formula Gold as Formula Gold is out of stock everywhere and Whisper 750W is only 100Eur for me. I thought to get Arctic fans as they are half the price as shown below for me, but I am not sure I need P14 pressure types for front intakes (I though it would be benefitial if I keep the front panel closed in the case so that higher pressure can suck more air). For fan setup, I would end up with 3x140mm front intake, 1x140mm rear exhaust ( and maybe another 1x140mm top-rear exhaust, not sure I need, but could be there just in case..) I was considering Be Quiet Pure Base 500 so far, but it is out of stock and the restricted airflow scared me a bit (Phanteks P600S has options to remove front panel as well as slightly bigger interior). Please let me know if you would change parts or you think it is good enough to place the order, thanks. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:13 PM PST Just got an Alienware aurora motherboard, case, psu and aio. Installed my own 8350k and GTX 1070 in with Trident z Neo memory and a Sabrent 1Tb Rocket ssd. Can't seem to get anything to display. Is 8350k not compatible with the dell proprietary motherboards? On board video also did not work. Could one of these being bent be the problem? https://imgur.com/gallery/aLYjLns [link] [comments] |
