| Friend scammed me on a PC build Posted: 01 Aug 2020 11:46 AM PDT I had someone who I thought was a decent friend build a new PC for me. He was super willing to help and I thought I was getting a good set up. After having some issues on PC, I decided to check out my specs further I bought 9th generation I7 but a 4th generation was installed. I bought a msi motherboard but an older gigabyte motherboard was installed. Different/older ram was installed. Older ssd was installed. I was brand new on the PC world when I got it but now I know I don't have what I paid for. Before I tell him how disappointed I am in him as a friend and human being and cut him off, is there anything else I should pay attention to? Thanks a lot. Edit - thank you everyone for your tips, advice and support. It really helps. It's going to create a clusterfuck within multiple friends, it's hard to get into details and am hesitant doing so online. I will be looking into small claims court now. It will not be ignored. I have not contacted him and don't think I should at this time. I will update this post and small claims court results when things are more settled.

| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:35 PM PDT i have a ton of hardware i need to test and my friend has 3 dell optiplexes that needs testing so im wondering how i can test hardware and not have to go through the process of uninstalling drivers, i know of DDU for GPUs but idk on ram, CPU, WiFi card and mobo and also how do you swap a drive from one PC to another easily without drivers interfering asking on behave of my friend that has 3 optiplexes to test but only has 1 drive. i know youtubers edit that out but i seen some dude revert windows on stream took him like 10 mins i dont know how to do and yes i see that for some people windows will just detect and install the drivers for the newly installed hardware but i have tried and either it brings me to safe mode because of change or it gives me a BSOD or other errors becuase i do have to switch boards cause im mainly testing CPUs.

| Mobo for ryzen 3 3200g that DOES NOT and never has needed a BIOS update? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:50 AM PDT All the mobos ive found like B450M DS3H and B450M Pro4 have needed/need a bios update. I dont know if the place im buying from has updated the bios or not and i cant ask them. Im also not in the USA. And i am taking the 3200g because the store has limited options on cpu's. Looking for more low budget side mobos, lets say, up to 120€. Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My first build went wrong in many ways Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:12 PM PDT I'll just make a list:
So I'm not sure what to take away from it. I spent nearly 10 hours working in the end, which is way more than it should have been, but I also learned a lot. Was a good experience. Even though there were so many frustrations, I have a more powerful machine now than ever before, and I'm looking forward to keeping it with me for a long time.

| Do every AMD Ryzen coolers run at the same capacity? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 11:19 AM PDT Hello, Last week i built a gaming pc with a Ryzen 5 2600, which i installed with the stock cooler ( Wraith Stealth), and yesterday i built a pc for my dad's office, with a Ryzen 7 3700x, which is also installed with the stock cooler (Wraith Prism). My dad uses puts his pc under the desk, so he doesn't see the RGB on the cooler, but i put my pc on my desk, therefore i see the interior. Here's my question: Can i install the Wraith Prism on my 5 2600, and put the Wraith Stealth on the 7 3700x? I use my computer for gaming, but no overclocking and very high demanding tasks, and he also just read emails, work on excel sheets, ect. Would it work?

| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:23 PM PDT I have all my pc parts! Hurray! Now just one issue. Im super afraid to put everything together. At first it all seemed easy to do. I watched a bunch of Linus tech tips videos and it seemed easy to do. Now that all the parts are in my hands im pretty afraid to put it together.

| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:59 AM PDT What coolers are people using for the 10700k? I'm going to be ordering parts for my first build eventually and still deciding on the cooler. I don't plan on OC'ing too high to start. So far I'm leaning towards the NH-D15. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So I'm building a PC for the first time and I am confused with daisy chaining. Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:51 PM PDT Hi, I have two fans in my build that come with a cable to plug into each other. I am wondering if this means I can plug them both into the one header and they will both power on? Or will I still have to plug them into seperate headers? Thanks!

| What ever happened to Cryorig? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:44 PM PDT I used to recommend their stuff a lot due to their relatively low price and good performance but they just vanished and prices sky rocketed for some reason. Anyone know why? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 03:04 AM PDT Saved 2/3 of the cost of the $3,600 (!!!!) Macbook Pro I was about to buy. Hackintoshed it successfully. Managed not to fry anything. Photoshop and Lightroom absolutely fly on this, crunching through 46mp raw files. <dr.hulk> I call this a win! </dr.hulk> The build took one night, the hackintoshing took a second night. Spec:

| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:46 PM PDT So I am replacing my wraith prism cooler on my Ryzen 2700X with a DeepCool Castle 360Ex. The case I'm using is the Phantek Evolv X. Currently I have two 140mm fans intake on the front and one 140mm exhaust on the back. I bought another 140mm case fan (same as the ones it came with) so I will have a total of four 140mm fans to work with plus the three 120mm fans for my AIO. This is my plan, please let me know if there are more efficient configurations. Front: Intake - three 140mm fans Back: Intake - one 140mm fan Top: Exhaust - 360mm rad for AIO [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Which X570 board is best for me? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:51 PM PDT Hi everyone! So i'm in the final stages of upgrading my build. I've made the decision to for with the Ryzen 9 purely based on the flight sim requirements i'll be needing. I'm concerned about the MOBO as i know nothing about them and from what i can see as long as i get an X570 board i should be good. Would this board be good? Or would it matter if i went with a cheaper board like the Asus Tuf X570 or the MSI MPG X570? The price difference is between $20-$50 which isn't huge in the grand scheme of things but would be nice to save some pennies. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:50 PM PDT Hello guys, new member here. I'm looking to build my own pc for college. As a heavy user with my current setup, I hope this one will be able to handle extreme gaming, rendering, and maybe streaming. Here is my pc parts list: Here **Note that GPU isn't included because I am waiting for Nvidia 3000 series and since there's no specifications yet, I am unsure about psu yet) All helps are greatly appreciated!

| Bought a Prebuilt PC a week ago but it has a minor issue Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:43 PM PDT Troubleshooting Help:What is your parts list? Consider formatting your parts list. https://www.newegg.ca/abs-computer-technologies-ala218/p/N82E16883102989?Item=N82E16883102989 GPU and CPU came as described It came with this SSD, https://www.newegg.ca/team-group-gx2-512gb/p/N82E16820331315 this power supply, https://www.newegg.com/apexgaming-ax-series-ax-550-550w/p/N82E16817326009 this ram, https://www.newegg.ca/team-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820331360 and this motherboard https://www.newegg.ca/asrock-b450m-ac/p/N82E16813157880 Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. Heard a buzzing noise coming from inside the computer every so often without any specific cause, does not really get worse while I'm playing games List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. Have tried stopping/unplugging individual fans and it didn't help to stop the noise, for awhile I thought it might be coil whine or the PSU but I felt the vibrations and noises coming strongest from the GPU. The noises seem to stop when I stop exactly one of the GPU fans with my finger, but I don't know what to do about it. I should still be covered under the refund/return/warranty period Post relevant photos of build/parts here. Not my video, but this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQRhHw39Gc0&feature=emb_title seems to be the exact same noise with the exact same graphics card Provide any additional details you wish below. All prices above are in CAD since I live in Canada. I bought a prebuilt off Newegg because I didn't think I could build a much better PC at the same parts/price and I'm easily stressed out by the idea of messing up the build and having to troubleshoot it myself, but unfortunately the PC arrived with a minor problem. It runs fine and everything, and I know the SSD/PSU are probably cheaped out but it was otherwise fine until I started hearing the noises. What should I do? Should I try to RMA for just the GPU to see if they'll send me a new one before I mail the old one back and see if that alone fixes it? As I previously stated I live in Canada, so while shipping the entire thing back would be a lot of trouble I'd be willing to go through with that as this noise gets annoying and I don't know how bad it is for the GPU in the long run. The sound itself isn't that loud, I can hardly hear it if I have music or something playing but it gets annoying when it's dead quiet. I'm aware that it's probably a better idea to just return the whole thing and build my own PC, but I have no experience with it and I'm not exactly good with my hands so I thought it would be better to just get a prebuilt.

| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:32 PM PDT Just build a pretty nice PC but it doesn't seem to be posting. The x570i's LEDs turn on and pulse green and orange (immediately, without pressing the power button), and the power button has no effect on anything and the GPU doesn't light up. Also no case fans spin. I have tried using a single stick of ram in both of the slots (both sticks), switching hdmi to the mobo, and haven't been able to get anything. Really disappointed. I'll attach some pictures so maybe someone can see if I have something wired wrong. The wires are a mess right now since I have been trying to fix it for a while. I'm baffled. I have attached some pictures which may or may not be helpful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. https://ibb.co/M9kkc9H https://ibb.co/vVDH3NH https://ibb.co/ykfCxWQ https://ibb.co/94QyWdx https://ibb.co/J3yhzXX https://ibb.co/jMb5jMf https://ibb.co/YhyD9FY https://ibb.co/VHPYK8H https://ibb.co/0KjYV30 https://ibb.co/TTLpXYz https://ibb.co/8rTnYGh EDIT: maybe a parts list helps EDIT #2: just to clarity, I am certain that I did not statically shock any of the components and was careful to handle everything properly.

| No display on monitor and/or no post Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:04 PM PDT Hi, I just put together my first gaming pc build and when I turn it on there is no display on my monitor. More specifically, when I power my pc on, the lights and fans work as they should except for the cpu fan, which stops for a second and then resumes normally. All of my parts are brand new and I've yet to get my pc into the bios/downloading windows. Parts list: CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x Mobo: Gigabyte X570 Auros Elite (Wifi) Memory: Gskill DDR4 3600 CL16 GPU: MSI Geforce RTX 2070 Super Ventus GP OC PSU: EVGA Supernova 650 GA (80+ Gold Fully Modular) Storage: Inland Premium 1tb nvme ssd What I've tried (to no avail): -Using different display ports and hdmi (yes in my gpu not the mobo) -Testing my monitor and hdmi cable on my laptop (they both worked) -Reseating my gpu in both PCIE slots -Reseating the memory -Using both memory sticks individually in 2 different slots (4 tries total) -Using a different VGA power cable in a different slot on my PSU (the GPU fans turned on either way) -Taking apart the entire build and rebuilding it What I haven't tried: -Installing a different gpu in my build (or use my existing one in a different build) because this is my first pc and I don't have extra parts laying around -Plugging in a debug speaker to my mobo to listen for beep codes (which unfortunately didn't come with my case or mobo) I'm thinking this might be a GPU issue, unless I'm missing something obvious. Also keep in mind that my CPU fan stops for a second when I power on my pc, which might be a message from my mobo that something is wrong. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:35 PM PDT I've decided for my custom build to have a SSD/HDD combo in which I will be storing my OS and games on a 500GB SSD. My HDD will be 1TB and store documents, pictures, and other huge files. If my SSD fills up and my games are store on my HDD as a result, will they run at HDD speeds despite having your OS stored on an SSD, or will my HDD become faster because I have an SSD installed on my pc?

| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:52 AM PDT Hi guys, I'm about to buy a pc, and this build has caught my eye. So I'm curious if I could improve something, while staying on the similar budget. Mobo: Gigabyte GA-B450M-S2H Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 1x16GB DDR4 2666MHz CL16 Graphic card: MSI Radeon RX580 8GB DDR5 256-bit SSD: Kingston A400 480GB SATA 3 PSU: Chieftec GPE-600S ECO 600W [link] [comments] |
