| Posted: 05 May 2020 11:08 PM PDT Just wanna thank you guys for helping my dumbass get this done, I've wanted this for many years but my family is very poor and I help them with finances, plus australia has ridonculous prices. I spent overall around AUD1700 for something where I'll only have to upgrade a few parts way into the future and hopefully it will treat me well Specs Ryzen 5 3600x Steel legend b450mATX 16gb 3200 ram Sapphire Pulse RX5600XT with new bios (basically 5700 but $100 less) WD Black NVMe m.2 500g (Already had 4TB external HDD) Cooler Master 80plus gold 650 watt ps (non modular ;-; I shoulda spent the extra $20 tbh) Cooler master 120 3 in 1 fans (cable reach is crap) And the NR600 case [link] [comments] |
| In case you want to feel good about yourself today Posted: 06 May 2020 10:18 AM PDT I built my first AMD build with the 3900x back in October. I was happy, it ran well, only issue was it ran a little hot (idle usually around 50, got up to over 100 somehow at its hottest without throttling). Whatever, I thought, I'm just using the stock cooler until I get my real cooler. Well, today, I go to install my real cooler. I've heard AMD can be difficult to remove the heat sinks, so I ran a prime95 to get the thermal paste nice and loose. I go to remove the cooler, and it feels loose so I'm happy. Then I'm trying to figure out how to take it off. The little lever is moving around, but it doesn't seem to be releasing the retention arms. Finally, I encounter AMDs website where it said to unlock the lever. I can't figure how I'm supposed to do that, but they included a diagram. The way I was pushing the lever to try to move the arms was to the locked position. When I did that, it sealed and wasn't loose anymore. My heart sank. For 6 months, I've been using this computer with the cooler just loosely contacting the processor. That's probably why my temps were so high. At least it somehow never throttled itself.

| Posted: 06 May 2020 12:32 PM PDT In 2018, from about May through August, I was on here getting advice on how to build my first PC. The amount of information you guys had and the help I received was awesome. In September I decided to go and build it. It wasn't too crazy. Ryzen 2400G 16GB Ram 1TB HDD Built in a Rosewill FBM-X1 case Nothing special but it worked for what I wanted (some video editing, and recording Xbox gameplay with OBS) Fast forward to today and I've made these changes: 2400G to a 1600AF Integrated graphics to a RX570 to a RX580 to a GTX 1070 Added an SSD Changed case to a Cougar MX330-G Basically.. I haven't played on my Xbox since. The experience is so much more smooth in every game and I thank all of you for the help! Was just thinking about this earlier and I'm super happy I went through with it. [link] [comments] |
| New Intel build complete! Reminded me how much I love building PCs. Posted: 06 May 2020 08:11 AM PDT Hey everyone! This is my first post here... I just wanted to share some photos and details of my recently completed build. This build is a bit different than a lot of builds here, mainly because gaming is not really a high priority for me (although I do play from time to time), hence the relatively older GPU and the huge amount of storage. The main components I was replacing were my previous CPU/motherboard/RAM, which was a 2014-era Core i5-4670. That was a great machine, lasted me a long time, but it feels great to be able to really build again. (Although I did migrate everything into a new, more modern Fractal Design Meshify C case last year to 'downsize' a bit, due to no longer needing all the drive bays of a full-tower ATX case) I'm a professional software developer and so I do a lot of non-gaming tasks. Also, for my home Plex server, I do a lot of video encoding and moving around large video files, so I wanted a lot of very fast local storage to work with (my bulk storage is a 20TB NAS), as well as hardware H265 encode/decode. I chose the Intel i9-9900K partly for the hardware HEVC support, as well as the slightly better single-threaded performance, which matters for some of my workloads. I'm sure a Ryzen build would have saved me some money, but I'm sure this machine will last me quite a long time in any case. Build photos here: https://imgur.com/a/8tPgUBD tl;dr - Skip to end for specs. Also, just wanted to add that I have really missed building a new PC. I've been lurking on this subreddit for quite a while, however my experience with building PCs goes back a long way. I am so impressed at how many options are available now for customizing everything. In fact, like many of you I suspect, my build is an evolution and continuation of all my previous builds, since I never replace everything all at once. So as I was going through this, I was reminiscing on all the previous systems I've worked with and how PC building has changed over the years... here are most of the iterations of my "main" PC I can remember... all of these carried over somewhat to the subsequent builds:

| Need Advice on PC Build! Budget is $750 Posted: 06 May 2020 09:44 AM PDT Hello everyone! I am looking to build my first pc, but I have absolutely zero knowledge about PC's so any help would be appreciated. I have been looking on pcpartpicker but I am not sure if any of those builds are good. I have a budget of $750 maximum (cheaper the better) and I also already have a monitor and mouse / keyboard. Thank you so much! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 May 2020 11:43 AM PDT The game Valorant is becoming very popular, and it has an anticheat called Riot Vanguard. A downside is that this program will block other apps on your PC without asking. For me, it didnt allow me to look at my temperatures. For others the harm is more severe. Another user on r/VALORANT said that the anticheat disabled his GPU cooling software entirely, and overheated past 90 Celsius to the point where he smelled melting plastic. Please be careful of this anticheat! Make sure your essential software on your PC is not being disabled due to this. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 06 May 2020 02:38 PM PDT So I am building my first PC and will need windows 10 pro. I have been told to just buy a cheap product key from a third party source instead of spending $200 on Microsofts website. I know they can be cheaper in other countries so I wanted to see opinions on the worth of the risk for a cheaper product key. [link] [comments] |
| Building a PC with a 1000 Budget Posted: 06 May 2020 01:01 PM PDT My post keeps getting removed I'm not sure why. I am looking to build my PC with at least an RTX for some gaming on ultra or high settings. I would also like some tips on a good monitor and keyboard. I don't have any experience building a pc but I would like one where I can upgrade the parts easily when the time comes. I was in the military so I have always used a laptop because we move around a lot. But I am ready for a nice desktop computer. I would be using this PC for gaming and videos mostly and then school later on. I lost my job during the COVID situation but I just found a new job so I will have to build a slowly and can look for deals with they pop up. Thank you, Jarrex [link] [comments] |
| How do I convince my parents to build a gaming pc? Posted: 06 May 2020 02:08 PM PDT Hi, 17F and new to this sub. I've been working hard for the past year to save up to build my own pc. I'm currently running on a potato, it's a Dell All in One w/ no tower. The processor is a Intel Core i3-6100U, a ram of 6GB, and an Intel 520 graphics card (integrated). The only games I can play are like League of Legends or low graphic games, it won't even run games that can run on mostly anything. My parents don't think I can actually build a pc and would rather I buy a prebuilt than wasting my money. They want me to buy a Alienware Aurora R8 Gaming PC or something similar but it doesn't really have the right specs that I'm looking for. For months, I've be learning how to build a PC by watching YouTube videos to even practicing building PCs with my friends who are pretty dedicated gamers.

| I cant take out the 24 pin out of my mothetboard. Posted: 06 May 2020 10:06 AM PDT |
| Posted: 06 May 2020 12:14 PM PDT I am playing around with NZXT's website and building a pc around a $1500-2000 budget. I have no prior knowledge with pc building. I am interested primarily in cod warzone right now. My first question is, how should I go about choosing AMD vs intel? What are pros and cons of each? Also, what kind of difference will I be seeing from 140fps to 160fps? Also should note that I will likely stream as well at some point. [link] [comments] |
| Budget Gaming PC for a friend - mainly for CoD Warzone and other games Posted: 06 May 2020 09:39 AM PDT Hello! The intended purpose for this build is for 1080p 60fps gaming on low-medium settings for relatively new titles, namely the new Call of Duty. With this being my first build, I want to ensure that all the parts I have selected are compatible and will achieve the desired result. I have compiled a list on pcpartpicker here If I understand correctly, the motherboard I've selected only has 1 fan header for case fans. The questions I have are; Will overheating be an issue? Should I prioritize the fan to be intake or exhaust? Can I cut costs on parts and achieve the same result? Thanks for reading. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 06 May 2020 09:24 AM PDT It would never go above 10k ft cabin altitude (unless you have decompression in which case you have bigger problems) but I am concerned how the AIO system would handle pressure changes. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2020 05:06 PM PDT Just wanna say thanks so much to everyone who helped me make the right choices with my money, I really appreciate it, so thanks everyone! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 May 2020 12:49 PM PDT I turned my pc on with the power button. And suddenly a bit of smoke came out of my front panel. I tried starting my pc again and there was no more smoke, and everything seems to be functional. What could this be? [link] [comments] |
| Should I upgrade my motherboard? Posted: 06 May 2020 02:54 PM PDT I'm currently running a Ryzen 3700x with a GTX 2070 on a AX370-Gaming 5 that I had originally purchased when I was using a Ryzen 1700. I have been looking at X570 boards and a lot of people are saying go X470, or even 450. I'm looking for the most futureproof board that will give me better performance. Getting my ram to 3000 was a nightmare on the gaming-5 board, and overall heat runs a little high even though I have a Noctua NH-D15 on it. Would something like a Asus PRIME X570-P or an ASUS PRIME X470-PRO be worth the investment? I was looking at the TUF counterparts as I saw good reviews, but want to invest in something that's considered more than an entry board. I'm also open to other recommendations, Thanks!

| I need to know if this good value. Posted: 06 May 2020 02:44 PM PDT So basically I'm on the way to build my first ever PC. After countless of videos I know how to build one. I just need to know if the value of it is good or I'm going overkill. This is my first post so forgive me. I'm a noob. [link] [comments] |
| In need some pc building advice! Posted: 06 May 2020 12:23 PM PDT Hello everyone! To give a quick intro, it's my first time building a gaming/work pc. I've done a lot of research in the past few weeks and now I'm at the point that I have all my parts together and I'm ready to buy but... I'm not sure about a few things: first of all, I would like to know if you guys could tell me if I'm about to buy something that's about to be outdated or something better is coming soon. and second, if I even made the right choice of parts haha. For gaming, I would like to game in 1080p/1440p and maybe try out some 4k if possible but that's more like an extra that's not really necessary. I would also like to stream my games. For work, I'm just a programmer so I don't really need much there but I would like to do some video editing, etc. I think it's also worth mentioning that I need to be able to multi-task and it needs to run smoothly. Here is a list of my parts: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G RAM: Corsair 16 GB DDR4-3600 C18 (AMD Ryzen optimized) Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max AIO: NZXT Kraken x53 SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB (M.2) HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB PSU: Corsair RM750X 750W Edit: Sorry for the misspelled title haha.
