| Take care of your PCs guys. Both the software and hardware. Posted: 14 Sep 2020 06:01 AM PDT So I helped a friend with his PC that he's had for a little less than a year the other day because it would crash every time he right clicked in explorer or the desktop. I've never seen a PCs software be so fucked up in such little time. After uninstalling a bunch of stuff and going through files deleting anything suspicious or unnecessary I first ran a third party virus scan and both a full search and offline search in windows defender, there were a total of 50 detections(I don't even know how he could possibly have that many viruses). I then ran sfc scan multiple times until it no longer found stuff to repair and now he can at least right click without crashing. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it normal to be scared and wan't to get a prebuilt instead? Posted: 13 Sep 2020 06:07 PM PDT *Want. Ignore typo. I plan to build myself a PC with a 3080 and a Zen 3 CPU. I can start getting some parts in now, but I'm quite scared as i dont want to fuck up 2000 quids worth of parts. It's not so much building the PC itself, but as stupid as it sounds, im scared of plugging in the PSU cables, front panel cables etc in the wrong places, or just fucking up and putting cables in the wrong places. I've watched build guides, but it's still not exactly clear where everything goes. I've owned 2 PCs before, both prebuilts, but now I kinda want to built one myself, but i'm scared to do so. EDIT: Thanks to everyone for all the advice and reassuring me it's not all so hard. I'm going to "study" some more and wait for Zen 3 and see what Radeon 6000 has to offer before deciding 3080 or a 6700XT. EDIT 2: I plan on getting something along the lines of CPU: Zen 3 Equivalent to a 3800X Cooler: Corsair H150I PRO XT Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite ATX Memory: GSKILL Trident 32GB @ 3600MHZ CL16 Storage: 1TB Firecuda 520 NVME GPU: EVGA FTW3 3080 (Unless AMD offer something better with Radeon 6000) Case: Coolermaster Masterbox TD500 Mesh PSU: Corsair RM 850W Fully Modular Case Fan Extra: Hopefully this build isn't going to be too hard. I put the parts list so maybe I'll be able to find out weather it will be a challenging build and weather its a good parts list etc. Thanks guys Thanks guys, appreciate all the input so far and it's giving me more confidence for doing the build myself [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 03:48 AM PDT Hello guy's so after 15 years of him playing on console I finally convinced him to join the master race, i picked those parts for him from newegg what do u think of it ? CPU: 3700x Mobo: B550 Aorus Elite GPU: I'll pair it with a GTX 1060 till the new RTX 3080 Aorus Xtreme or Zotac Trinity Comes out but i Also don't know if the 3080 or 3070 is the right choice for him, he'll be playing alot of the next COD:CW, R6 he plays Competitively on both R6 and COD, and next BF when it comes out also he's gonna play single player games Like Cyberpunk, AC:Vallhala etc.. With his 4K 60Hz TV Storage: M.2 NVMe 1TB RAM: 16GB 3600 RAM Case: NZXT H510 ELITE PSU: MasterWatt 750w 80+ i also bought him a brand New LG 27" IPS Gaming Monitor, 240Hz, 1ms for 330$ literally the cheapest 240hz i found in my country most of monitors start from 450$, So what do u guys think ?

| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 11:16 AM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/sJUVXqX Getting ready for the 3080 to drop so thought I would rebuild ahead of this as I needed a new power supply anyway. Just need to add the NZXT Kraken for better cooling (also hoping it can display a gif of Wheatley), upgrade RAM to 4x8GB 3600mhz with RGB to add some extra white light. Debated putting the RGB NZXT AER fans in for the exhausts but will leave it for now in case it's overkill. I know I could have gone with the white version of the NZXT H510 Elite but I prefer the blacked out look and would be easier if I want to change the theme from Portal to another Funko Pop figure I've got lying around lol.

| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 10:18 AM PDT Hi there! I didn't want to upgrade my CPU yet, so i decided to get a B550 board first, without knowing that B550 is not supposed to be compatible with Ryzen 2000. Both of them worked perfectly fine, with 2x16gb 3600mhz Crucial Ballistix. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 01:02 PM PDT Recently we've had a lot of "are my idle temperatures normal?" posts (such as this, this, this, this, this this all from the past week). Those posts tend to mention the cooler they bought, but don't mention anything about the fan settings. For many coolers (both CPU and case):
Here's an example graph of temps with a 3700X with the stock cooler in a case with horrible airflow showing both settings.
The best setting for this case is somewhere between those two. Thoughts:

| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 06:52 AM PDT Good Morning, I bought a prebuilt computer several months ago.(See specs below) The only thing I do not like about it are the fans only glow Red. I wanted to add a small touch of RGB to this. I was eyeing the inwing sirius loops fans because they have a ring of RGB which is more subtle than the whole fan. I7-9700K RTX 2060 asrock z390 phantom gaming 4s/ac 16gb DDR4 Ram 3200 mhz 512gb SSD Gigabyte B700H 80+ bronze PSU Inwin 303 white case I am needing mostly worried about connecting it to my motherboard. I am not sure how that works, and I am not sure how to tell what connectors I need to look for that my motherboard would be compatible with... Any info is appreciated!

| Is the MSI B550 Tomahwak or Asus ROG STRIX B550-F better? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:23 PM PDT Hello, I've got a follow-up question. Asus has a promotion with a major retailer in my country, where they sell their products with pretty hefty discounts after you "register" them. This puts it at the price of the B550 Tomahawk, or about 178 USD (Not American, BTW). Which one of these would you say is better for this price?

| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:21 PM PDT Dear fellow builders, Once again I call upon those among you, so generous with advice! I am about to change my CPU stock cooler by an aio water cooler. But I'm a bit riddled with how they might upset my fan balance. My current fan setup has 2x 140mm intake in the front, and 1x 140mm exhaust in the upper back. Both capable of the same RPM. On one side, I heard that "you should go for the biggest radiator your case can fit" (© JayzTwoCents). In my case, that would mean a 360mm, 3x 120mm fans in top mounted exhaust. Aesthetically, it would also be the nicest as I have a fairly large case, plenty of room left. On the other hand, "you should balance the air flow". Now here are my options, as I see them: Option A: move the 140mm exhaust to intake position, so I got 3x140 intake and 3x120 exhaust but no fan in the back. Option B: buy an additional 140mm and put it in intake position. That would result in 3x 140mm intake, 3x 120mm exhaust in top (aio) and 1x 140mm exhaust in the back. That way I keep the back fan but I might be overdoing it in the exhaust section? Option C: go for a 280mm aio cooler and buy 1 extra 140mm for intake. Results in 3x140mm intake in front, 2x140 exhaust in top (aio) and 1x140 in back. Do you see any clear reasons on why to go for one option or the other? Or have some general advice to give on the subject? Thank you all in advance, [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Whats a good looking big ass pc case? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:54 PM PDT Looking for one with tempered glass on one side and alot! of space on the back side where the psu belongs. I dont want to do a lot of cable management and my hands are big and my pc sits under my table so it can be a bit beefier. I would prefer as much space as possible [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:25 PM PDT So I'm building my first pc and I have pretty much no knowledge on anything pc so I had my friend who knows more than me put this build together for me. Just looking for some opinions on it before I buy it once the 3080 releases. My current budget is around $2300-$2400 but I could wait another week for payday and put a couple more hundred towards it if you guys think i should make any changes/upgrades. Any advice/help is appreciated. Current build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tJpc3t Edit: forgot to add that i plan on playing games like Escape from Tarkov if that helps [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:24 PM PDT Hey guys and gals. I've been doing some research and have picked a few of these parts out. I'm going for light gaming and a lot of school work. I know the build is a little overkill to a degree but I want it to be like that. I'm going for a white and black build. If you have any recommendations for parts to upgrade or any parts that come in white please let me know. Please and thank you.

| Can I cool down my PSU with a desk fan? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:21 PM PDT Yes I mean it, no joke. My PSU's fan just stopped spinning and it started to smell like burnt electronics soon after. I'll buy a new PSU anyway with my new build but is it possible to cool down my current PSU with a simple desk fan to be able to use my current PC?
