| I don't understand RAM compatibility Posted: 03 Mar 2020 06:27 AM PST Hey! I'm building a pc for a friend and I don't want to mess it up for obvious reasons so I want to be 100% sure. His build will be with the Ryzen 5 1600 and Asrock's B450M-HDV 4.0 mobo, the motherboard supports "up to" 3200mhz but the processor supports 2666mhz, but everyone is saying high speeds are really important for ryzen, so what's going on? Depending on your choice of brand I can go with a Patriot Viper 8GB 3000mhz stick or a T-force 8GB 3000mhz that is a little bit more expensive [link] [comments] |
| Please stop just modifying build lists. Posted: 03 Mar 2020 08:49 AM PST When I was building my PC, and trying to learn, some kind people on this sub expressed interests in helping by explaining what could be better on my build. However, some people with kind meaning just left a heavily modified version of my build in the comments without any explanation. This pissed me off so much! I know y'all have kind intentions, but I worked hard to make that build list as did every other new builder did and I was proud of it! I sound like I'm a crazy person trying to deny help, but it's annoying to see it in all of these threads when questions are unanswered in lieu of a modified build list and no explanation. It comes off as "You don't know what you're doing, I do. Heres what I would do, buy these parts instead since my list is way better than the POS you cobbled together." It was way more helpful to me when someone would leave a paragraph telling me why 3600mhz RAM is better over 3200mhz rather than just changing it in the list and resending it. Please help, don't just change!!! [link] [comments] |
| $3,100 (CAD) PC Build: Looking for all tips and suggestions :D Posted: 03 Mar 2020 05:22 AM PST ***New*** Hey guys, thank you for all the suggestions. Thought I would clear up some confusions the title may have had. Firstly, CAD is referring to Canadian dollars as I am from the maple syrup land. Secondly, this PC will primarily be used for gaming (also, not looking to OC). Thirdly, I will be using dual 1440p 144hz monitors and that is what the components are geared towards. Again, thank you for all the suggestions (future ones are all welcome as I will start building this PC in about a month or so). I will be incorporating the feedback into my planned build and modify as required. ***Original*** [PCPartPicker Part List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ns2zp8) Type|Item|Price :----|:----|:---- **CPU** | [Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/jHZFf7/intel-core-i9-9900k-36ghz-8-core-processor-bx80684i99900k) | $639.00 @ Canada Computers **CPU Cooler** | [Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM 97 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/vTTPxr/corsair-h115i-rgb-platinum-970-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060038-ww) | $209.99 @ Amazon Canada **Motherboard** | [Asus PRIME Z390-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/2k3H99/asus-prime-z390-a-atx-lga1151-motherboard-prime-z390-a) | $224.99 @ Mike's Computer Shop **Memory** | [Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/QDhKHx/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-cmw16gx4m2c3200c16) | $122.99 @ Amazon Canada **Storage** | [Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/P4ZFf7/samsung-970-evo-500gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-mz-v7e500bw) | $142.16 @ Amazon Canada **Storage** | [Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/yzfhP6/samsung-860-evo-1tb-25-solid-state-drive-mz-76e1t0bam) | $169.25 @ shopRBC **Video Card** | [Asus GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB STRIX GAMING Advanced Video Card](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/sKZzK8/asus-geforce-rtx-2080-super-8-gb-strix-gaming-advanced-video-card-rog-strix-rtx2080s-a8g-gaming) | $1029.50 @ Vuugo **Case** | [NZXT H710i ATX Mid Tower Case](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/nbjNnQ/nzxt-h710i-atx-mid-tower-case-ca-h710i-w1) | $249.99 @ Amazon Canada **Power Supply** | [Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/6Y66Mp/corsair-rm-2019-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020195-na) | $139.97 @ Amazon Canada **Operating System** | [Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/MfH48d/microsoft-os-fqc08930) | $169.75 @ Vuugo | *Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts* | | **Total** | **$3097.59** | Generated by [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com) 2020-03-03 08:20 EST-0500 | [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:35 AM PST So i just finished building my first PC, it works just fine except for one small issue. My case has three RGB fans on the front, they spin normally but don't light up. There's about 3 thousand wires coming from the fans and they all loop together to one connector, labelled "MAIN". However the connector is not like anything i can find on the mobo. In the abundance of random cables that come with the case, there's a couple that seem to go together to almost solve the problem, but they end with a male connector. I'm just confused [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 11:27 AM PST Hello! Recently my pc broke, and I was checking between the ryzen 2600 vs 3600. Is the 2600 enough for 1080p 60hz? I dont care playing in higher res or more fps cause of my monitor. I have the money to buy 3600. [link] [comments] |
| Should I follow Intels part guide for building a PC? Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:44 PM PST I'm brand new to doing builds for PC's and I am kinda over whelmed with the amount of options I have. I'm trying to switch from PS4 to PC for games like Rainbow. Is this guid worth following? Or just switch certain parts? (while it is not preferred that I spend this much, My budget caps at 1000 USD tops) Intels Guide Scroll down some and you will see it. [link] [comments] |
| Build completed! Thanks for the help! Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:32 PM PST Posted here a few days back asking for some advice on what would be my first build in a long time. Well now the new build is all done, and running! No major dramas other than the new AMD CPU coolers being both confusing to mount (little different to how the used to be) and louder/more annoying that I expected. Terrible reflections of my messy desk, but hopefully you get the gist from these photos: https://imgur.com/a/EhZ56R3 I must say, the MSI (100R) case was actually way better than I thought it would be. Airflow is good, looks are good (if you like RGB), and cable management options are very good especially compared to what you would have got for this price ~8-10 years ago. It was one of the cheapest components of my whole build, and I really don't think I'd be much happier if I spent twice as much on it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:18 AM PST I want to buy the Rx 5700xt but I heard that it is unstable, is this fixed by now? [link] [comments] |
| What are the actual legit reasons why you should consider 32GB of RAM? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:18 PM PST The only common reason I know is 4K video editing, professional animation work, and virtual servers. I have 32GB myself and rarely hit more than 16GB for video editing. I did get it because I play Cities Skylines with lots of mods and I'm usually around 24GB or above usage so I know my specific use case. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:34 PM PST This is insane! 3900X - $399 3800X - $299 3700X - $279 3600X - $179 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:23 AM PST Hello my friends, I'm currently in the market for an AiO. I was planning to go with the Corsair h150i PRO XT, but alas said model will be in stock mid april for my country. I've thought about going with the X73, but I've heard that the former versions (X52/62/72) had bad fittings, would leak etc. Also heard CAM is horrendous to use. Would anyone here maybe be able to give me some insight, perhaps with the new model, as to whether it's worth it to buy said AiO. Cheers and thanks everyone. :) [link] [comments] |
| Ethernet speed capped at 100 Mbps (300 Mbps over Wi-Fi) Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:49 PM PST Troubleshooting Help:Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. I pay for 300 Mbps download speed internet. I get 300 Mbps over Wi-Fi. I get capped at 100 Mbps over Ethernet. List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. I have used an Ethernet tester to test my cables. I have plugged the cable into different ports on my modem/router combination. I have tried to toy around with my Ethernet duplex settings but to no avail. I tried to connect other computers to my modem, but they all get capped even lower than 100 Mbps. I'm assuming it's because they are old as sin. My PC is new as of last year. Post relevant photos of build/parts here. Back of motherboard. Are there any damaged pins? Provide any additional details you wish below. This might be software side. I don't know what to do other than wipe my system if that is the case. [link] [comments] |
| have 16Gb in two slots, question going to 32 Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:44 PM PST Ryzen 5 3600 and MSI x570 gaming plus. I have two sticks of DDR4 3200. I want to buy two more. Any downside to filling all 4 slots (same RAM in all 4)? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:38 PM PST I'm looking for a good store to buy parts to build a pc. Someone who lives in Munich, know any good pc parts store? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 11:21 AM PST My motherboard has 3 headers for case fans, yet I want to install 2 at the front, 1 at the back and 1 at the top, which is 4 in total. The one at the rear and the other at the top takes up 1 header each, so I wouldn't have enough for the 2 case fans at the front. Do I need to get a fan y-splitter for the 2 at the front of the case? Also, let's say I don't add a fan at the top, will the cooling performance be noticeable or will it still be pretty good? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 11:20 AM PST Gaming and Video rendering build. Any suggestions would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |

Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:29 PM PST Hey, I've had my current pc for the past 6yrs and I think it's time for some new parts. My budget is around 4k PLN (around 1k EUR), but the less, the better.
