| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:07 AM PDT Hi guys, I've recently noticed that my task manager is only using 8gb of my installed 16gbs, the ram is all correctly installed according to my gigabyte motherboard manual and should be working well, however, my task manager shows just 8gb being used. I have a screenshot but its seemingly not allowed here, so idk. how to share it. Do you guys know what might be the issue? EDIT: It seems that through vigorous background checking some notable members here have done, it appears that the ram is not fully supported by my Mobo, and I should buy a new one that is. I can mark this as solved (for now, until I get new ram to test this), thank you everyone for your help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:15 AM PDT My motherboard only has one system fan header (LGA 775 board). Would it be better to have that fan as an intake at the front or exhaust out the back? I already have a tower cooler (Hyper 212x) so I'm thinking that would already be enough as an exhaust anyway. [link] [comments] |
| How to tell in what direction a fan has to be installed? Posted: 28 Sep 2020 05:21 AM PDT Heya guys! So I Recently upgraded my Mainboard & CPU for the first time without any friends help - yay! Took some pictures of what cable gas to go where, all fine and dandy. However I couldn't remember in what way my fans were pointing. So is there a way to check what way a fan has to face / what direction it has to spin to tell if it's sucking in air or exhausting air? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |

| 2060 & 3700x - Even worth getting a 3080? Posted: 28 Sep 2020 05:33 AM PDT Been hearing that a 3080's vram at 10gb May very well be cutting it a little close, especially as we start going into the next gen games with 4K textures, ray tracing etc. I basically build a whole new pc, with a 3700x, nvme, new mobo and case, and better ram, but am currently using my 2060. While I am now playing only at 1080p 60hz I do move to at least 1440p higher refresh rate. However as someone who doesn't like to upgrade gpu for at least 3 years (especially one that costs 1400 aud), I'm a little worried about the vram. As such, would you guys suggest I just keep gaming with the 2060 and my new build for the next year until the super versions release with the 20gb Of vram? [link] [comments] |
| Is it worth replacing my HDD with SSD? Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:04 AM PDT Or should I just get an extra SSD on top of the HDD and my other SSD? [link] [comments] |
| 10700K combo deal or wait for Zen 3? Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:03 AM PDT I'm not a die hard AMD or Intel guy so... https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4094808 This combo saves me $100 and is $18 less than if I went 3800X and comparable AM4 mobo. Pull the trigger on that deal or do we expect significant enough gains with Zen 3 that I should wait until then? Edit: PC will be strictly gaming and little to no workstation applications.

| Took my build apart and found some wierd circle on my mobo. Should I be worried? Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:50 AM PDT I found out some wierd circle on my mobo next to the CPU socket. What is it and should I be worried? I also tried to clean it with some propylalcohol and it does not go away. https://i.imgur.com/nd6gK8u.jpg My mobo is Tomahawk max b450 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:31 AM PDT I just put the finishing touches on a CAM Programming workstation for my work. It has 8 x 8GB sticks of Crucial 2666MHz ECC RAM. When I first turned on the machine, the BIOS registered 2 of the 8 RAM sticks as 16GB each instead of 8GB. So total system memory showed as 80GB instead of the expected 64GB in Windows. For the sake of consistency and best performance, I wanted all the RAM modules to be the same capacity and speed, so purchased the correct parts from Newegg and they came in a few days later. I got them installed this weekend. However, upon removing the problem RAM modules and comparing them to the new ones (which did end up showing correctly in BIOS as 8GB), there was next to no differences between the labelling on the sticks themselves, or on the packaging for that matter. Both have the part number CT8G4RFD8266. Both are labelled as "8GB DDR4-2666 RDIMM 1.2v CL19." The ONLY difference between the two sticks that I could find is that the correct ones say "made in Taiwan" and the incorrectly labelled parts say "Product of China." I unfortunately don't have a second system that supports ECC DDR4 memory, so I can't put the seemingly mislabeled sticks into a different rig to see if they still read as 16GB each, but both the BIOS and Windows in the original workstation showed that 2 of my 8 sticks were reading as 16GB, so I'm fairly confident that's what they are. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about being sent 32 gigs of memory when I only paid for 16, but this whole thing just had me curious: how often does RAM get mislabeled like this? I've built over 50 computers over the course of the last few years, and I've never seen this happen before. I was curious if anybody else has ever experienced something similar. TL;DR: RAM is labelled as 8GB, but shows up in BIOS and Windows as 16GB. Does this happen often? [link] [comments] |
| what would be the cost where it is worth buying a used 2070 Posted: 28 Sep 2020 01:13 AM PDT i have literally no chance of getting a 3070 so what is the cost where it would be viable me buying a 2070. prices in usd please [link] [comments] |
| Finally built my white Corsair theme pc! Posted: 28 Sep 2020 12:49 PM PDT Finally got round to building a new pc from scratch. Decided to go with a white Corsair theme: ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-A gaming motherboard, I7-10700K, H100i CPU cooler, DDR4 16 GB 3200 memory (will be putting in another 16), 850W Corsair psu, Corsair 465X rgb case. Brought over my MSI GTX970 from my first pc, will be changing this out for a RTX 3000 series or AMD equivalent when revealed. Few pictures in first link and Video of the RGBs syncing with audio in second link.

| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:32 AM PDT First second third which one is better? I'm new to pc building and don't know exactly what each data means, but there's a difference of 300 in brazilian currency between these models. [link] [comments] |
| Making a new computer, don't know if the parts I picked are good. Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:38 AM PDT Hello, I was looking into building a new computer and I was wondering if any changes can be made to this build. The operating system will be a Windows 10 and my budget is around $1200-$1300 including the monitor, and I don't need any other peripherals. I was specifically looking for help with a gpu, since I don't think the one I chose is the greatest bang for my buck. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 05:27 AM PDT I'm currently building a new PC having not done so for 8 years. My case (fractal define 7) has a fan hub but I haven't used one before. Do I plug all fans, including the cpu fan, into it, or just the case fans? Then where do I plug the fan hub into? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:40 AM PDT I don't know a thing about hardware so can you tell me what do you think of the config I wanna do (I already have the HDD and SSD 1To)
Ps : my goal is now an under 2000€ computer [link] [comments] |
| Ryzen 3700x + RTX 2080ti, will a 650w psu be enough? Posted: 28 Sep 2020 05:40 AM PDT I'm building a pc for a friend, my first plan was to go with a 3070 but I've never been closely involved in a new release of gpu's and all the hype that goes with it. Based on the overal discussions going on about it it will probably be impossible to get your hands on one so we're looking at a used 2080ti instead. I ordered all the other parts already and bought a 650w 80+ gold psu that was actually meant for the 3070. Will this psu also do for a 2080ti or should I get a 750w? [link] [comments] |

| Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 1650 Super vs Ryzen 5 2600 + GTX 1660 Super Posted: 28 Sep 2020 08:38 AM PDT Hey guys. I'm about to have my first pc build and i'm hesitant between these two combos. My main usage is Programming , browsing and watching media and playing games a little. These two combos are the same price where I live and I don't really plan on overclocking. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:11 AM PDT I am looking for a good budget 144hz 1080p monitor. I main play causal and competitive call of duty and valorant. I run over 110 fps on mid to high settings in call of duty. What monitor should i buy. I don't have a price but i don't want to spend over 300 usd. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for iGPU to do dual 4k60hz Posted: 28 Sep 2020 11:46 AM PDT Hey does anyone know if there's an iGPU that can do 4k60hz on two outputs? Most of the Intel ones I've seen only do 4k60 over DP and 4k30 over HDMI and it seems like most motherboards only support 1 DP and 1 HDMI out. I also tried checking the new Ryzen APUs but can't find actual specs on AMD's website about max resolution and refresh rates. Does AMD have something like Ark? Also I know I could use a dGPU but would like to avoid it this would be for an esoteric setup and would work a lot nicer with an iGPU. [link] [comments] |
| Noob building gaming pc budget: $1000 Posted: 28 Sep 2020 12:50 PM PDT https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GDmPq3 my budget is 1k and I'm I'm looking to build a gaming pc that is decent any suggestions to switch and add in parts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:43 AM PDT Hi all! So my pc broke so I decided to tear my pc apart since i am about to get a whole new build soon. I placed the components on my desk. After I made a sandwhich and totally forgot to wash my hands before that. I was struggling with my cpu cooler and now Im worried I may had some thermal paste on my hands. If i did would it be dangerous? Note: the paste was almost like all dried up since it was 6 years old. [link] [comments] |
