| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 09:55 PM PDT I'm hunting for good deals on GPUs to build my new system and everything is so fucking expensive that I am super frustrated and reading something like this makes me LOL. ps. the GPU is - Zotac 2060 twin - https://www.amazon.in/GeForce-192-bit-Graphics-IceStorm-ZT-T20600F-10M/dp/B07MBKKQPW [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 07:02 AM PDT So where i live, a 3070 is around $710, and i can get a new 2070 super for $520. I currently don't have a functioning system, and it is quite frustrating (i use it for school and work aswell). The only demanding game i'm looking at for the next few months is Cyberpunk, but i don't need to max out rtx etc. I do have a 144hz 1440p monitor, and i realize that the 3070 is much better, but waiting potentially two months is an issue for me. I tried ordering the 3080, and it's set for delivery in november (if that is actually true). If i can run Cyberpunk at high settings 1440p without rtx i'd be fine. I'd like to wait for the others, but i can't really figure out if the wait is really worth it. Especially considering the annoyances of doing all productivity on my laptop, which is non-optimal. Someone just make a decision for me please. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First build / Covid project complete! Meet Voorhees (3080 frame slasher) Posted: 29 Sep 2020 08:48 AM PDT Firstly, thank you so much to this awesome & supportive community! This is my very first build. I've been wanting a gaming PC for years and finally decided Covid was the right time to go for it. Got a little creative with some spray paint, vertical GPU orientation, and a 5" stat screen. For the record, I did not use a bot or buy from a scalper for the 3080. Just got really lucky on Wed. the 23rd. And of course, lots of R Pics: Components:

| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:44 AM PDT I recently embarrassingly got a screw snapped off into my motherboard while trying to install an m.2 ssd drive. Now that the screw is stuck in the motherboard I can't screw down the ssd onto the motherboard. Is there anyway I would be able to secure the ssd cause I really don't want my only other alternative to be "replace the motherboard". Any suggestions?

| APC vs. CyberPower UPS review war on Amazon? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 10:20 AM PDT I need a UPS for my new build, and looking at Amazon's options it seems like there's pretty much these two brands to choose from. Nearly all the units they have are rated between 4-4.5 stars. However, the top reviews for the top sellers seem to mostly be 1 star reviews with horror stories about "burning smoke" and "failed during first power outage". https://imgur.com/a/6zC0NRQ Looking elsewhere, searches haven't revealed any other similar complaints from review sites and relevant forums. Comparisons like this one would surely mention potential issues with "smoke" and out-of-the-box unit failures if they were that common, wouldn't they? https://vsearch.com/apc-vs-cyberpower/ I'm definitely getting the feeling this is an Amazon review war going on between the two companies, where they buy each other's units to insure the "verified purchase" tag, then proceed to make stuff up about the units failing in every way possible. Obviously this kind of thing isn't uncommon on Amazon, but I don't remember seeing anything as extreme as this, with a category dominated by two apparently warring companies upping the ante on the severity of their claims. I just don't see how these two companies could stay in business if their units were that prone to complete failure, let alone dominate the market. Can anyone confirm that any of these horror stories have turned out to be real concerns? Or conversely that this is a known/strongly suspected review battle between APC and CyberPower?

| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 07:45 AM PDT Can someone explain me what is going on. I wanted to build a pc but pc prices seems to be up. I'm referring to the European market I saw component like an rx580 go to € 182 I know this isn't the American market but this seems high. What is the best course of action for someone who wants to build a pc. What components are the most affected by the situation we have ourselves in?

| What's going on with the lian li lancool 2 price? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:42 AM PDT The lancool 2 is pretty famous having been reviewed as the best performance/price case since they released their mesh version. However, in the past few days, I've noticed the newegg and amazon price for this case has skyrocketed to 170-200 dollars compared to the price at my local microcenter which is 100. Is this specific case really being price-fixed? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:28 AM PDT Will this work parts list Ive heard that this minister won't work with my pc if that's true do you mind recommending any around the same price? And also tell me what other things I should change? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm planning on playing 1440p at 60fps is this rig strong enough (i don't know much about computers or anything computer related) Please read this before commenting My final rig :Ryzen 7 3700x since it's cores are good for my animating and video editing also heard that 32gb ram is the minimum for Animating and video editing also i will stick with a 2070 super since for some reasons all the 2070's are more expensive than the 2070 super Also removed the hdd for an ssd i changed it up based on comments [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:36 AM PDT I'm getting an MSI Z490 Tomahawk Motherboard to pair with a 10700k and it has two M.2 slots. I'm for sure adding a 500GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus for my OS and certain games. However I've been looking at getting an Intel Optane 16GB for the second M.2 slot to aid with MySQL query speed and overall system performance. Are there any restrictions when it comes to putting two different kinds of memory in my M.2 slots like you would run into if you say put different kinds of RAM in your RAM slots?

| Dual Monitor Different Resolutions Posted: 29 Sep 2020 12:49 PM PDT Hey everyone, I recently bought the Acer XG270HU seeing as its g-sync compatible now. Only problem, I've got two 1080p monitors right now. The new monitor I got is 1440p, 144Hz. My old ones are both 1080p, 60Hz. Can I still run dual monitors? I'd use my BenQ Zowie as my second monitor, but it's pretty old now. Not sure if it's possible, safe, etc. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Getting only 2 out of 4TB on HHD? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 12:23 PM PDT As the title suggests, I built a PC back in May and bought a 4TB HHD but just realized I've only got 2TB available. I did some digging and saw one of the only ways for me to reformat would be to convert to GPT, but in order to do that I would need to wipe my hard drive? I've got almost a TB of data on there and don't really want to delete it to access the rest of my hard drive.. Would it be better to just get like an extra TB or two and transfer it over and then wipe it, or is there another way around it without having to spend the extra money or delete everything? Hopefully someone can help me out, and sorry if this is the wrong place for it I just figured it would be a good place to start. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2x16 (32)GB RAM request for Ryzen 4000 and current build? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 12:22 PM PDT request 2x16 GB totalling 32 GB ram that will swap to a new build I currently have the H170N-WIFI motherboard and plan to in the near future upgrade to the newest upcoming Ryzen 4000 cpus. The ram I can use now, though, and would like to get this asap. What should I look for? Does the clock speed, latency really effect performance much? This is for multitasking office work and specific programs, not gaming. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How do you use an AIO cooler with the Phantek Eclipse P400A (RGB Digital) case? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:01 AM PDT So, I have a question. This case has 3 RGB intake fans on the front, and it doesn't support top mounting a radiator. So, how are you supposed to place the radiator for an AIO? Can I place it while keeping the front fans? Do I move the front fans to the top? (but that would destroy the look of the case with the front RGB fans...) How would you do this? Thanks.

| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:31 PM PDT Just finished my first ever PC build. I was a life long Mac user until recently when work required a switch to PC for security and power reasons. Since I was switching anyway and already had a MacBook I could run as a Windows laptop I decided to build desktop PC for a combo of productivity, light gaming (Civ VI, Anno, and Rocket League), and VR on a Reverb G2. I definitely could not have done this without the knowledge and guidance of this community. I cant thank you all enough. Enough chit-chat, here are the specs and pics of my pc and desk setup.

| Which brand version should I buy of the RTX 3080? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:30 AM PDT I really want to buy an RTX 3080, I just can't decide from which brand, like Gigabyte, Evga, MSI, Asus, etc. I heard today that some of them has stuttering/lagging problems because of the badly designed structure or something like that, while some have better fans than others. Can someone help me out please? :) Also sorry for my bad english [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Should I upgrade anything else when buying a new GPU for 5 year old PC? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 12:39 PM PDT So, I bought an Alienware PC a few years ago with a GTX980 in it, back when that was still hot shit. I'm now looking at the new RTX3000 cards and they look incredible. Here's my question. If I want to upgrade to an RTX 3080, do I have to upgrade any other parts in case they are outdated?

| Computer won't boot unless fan hub and AIO cooler are disconnected Posted: 29 Sep 2020 12:19 PM PDT So, I am putting together a Ryzen 3800x + 1080Ti build right now. I put it all together in my Meshify c Case, and it won't boot. I'm using a $10 generic Amazon fan hub that needs power via power supply by molex, and the Kraken X62 water cooler. When I unplug the power from both of those, it starts up. When one of them is plugged in, I get a flash but then nothing. When they're both plugged in, I don't get anything. It's very strange! I also don't even have my GPU yet since it's coming later this week and I planned on just plugging it in and connecting, then good to go. I'm using a Corsair CX750M power supply, and I just got a 10' 18 gauge PC cord just to see if it'll help, it doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :) [link] [comments] |
